I would like to offer my services to the McClatchy papers. I have said frequently over the years that I am fluent in sarcasm years years of training, both in school private tutoring. Okay, I am quite fluent in the sarcasm, so I can help you translate sarcasm to whatever it is you guys speak like. I can help you with this. And I offer this up because you know me. I am a giver, so allow me to interpret. Here's the story from Caitlin Yade and Dawn Vaughan. After the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was arrested outside in immigration facility last week, former North Carolina Congressman Dan Bishop took to Twitter, formerly known as x condemning the Democrat and his colleagues. He said, quote members of Congress and the mayor of Newark committed an insurrection at a federal detention facility in New Jersey today, and then he said worse than nine to eleven. Oh I should do this. Thenh my gosh, she said something offensive. On Wednesday, a spokesperson suggested his comment was sarcastic. So it's just a suggestion. Okay, So allow me to interpret what Dan Bishop said. Yes, that's sarcasm. You're welcome. Okay, there you go. It was sarcasm. Why well, I mean, if I have to explain it, it's a reference to J six. It's a reference to people trying to access a federal building and then being accused of engaging in an insurrection. Now I know that when I say people trying to enter a building, you immediately think of the black block clad you know, with the Trump hat, bashing windows and stuff. You're thinking of the violent people that were like beating on the cops and stuff. That's who you think. Now there's a whole other half of the country that they know that there were those people that did that behavior, but they also know there were a whole bunch of other people that did not. They just walked in. In fact, some of them were invited in doors held open by Capitol police for them as they walked in, and they faced reputational ruin career, death, imprisonment. Right. So again, I'm just interpreting this for you so you understand the background and why this was a joke that Dan Bishop was making about it being an insurrection, because you guys called every single person, regardless of individual circumstances, insurrectionists. His reference to the worse than nine to eleven was a reference to Kamala Harris's comments that j six was worse than nine to eleven in Pearl Harbor. And that's a ridiculous thing to say, because it was not. In the piece. After the post by Dan Bishop, who is Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget under Donald Trump, one user replied, so now we're just quoting Randos on Twitter. But okay, one user replied in agreement, recommending jail time and suggesting, quote, precedent was set. That's okay. Another thing. That's not a suggestion, it's just a comment. It's the precedent was set. And what is the president? Yes, the prosecution of those accused of storming the capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one. Bishop's reply quote, hunt them down. This is all part of the same thread of a joke. And I kind of feel like, hmm, I kind of feel like you know this. I kind of feel like you knew that this was sarcasm, that this was a joke, but you did the story as if you didn't know, as if you can't tell you're just not sure because you write later on. Some were quick to suggest again with all these suggestions, no, they're they're just tweeting, Okay, they're making comments. Some were quick to suggest that Bishop may be trolling. Yes, I will confirm that for you. I've not spoken to Dan, but I will tell you that that is what Dan was doing. He was offering commentary highlighting the absurd by being absurd, he's trolling you or parodying the Democrats reaction to Jay six, with one user pointing out there were Democrats who compared j six to nine to eleven. That's a reference. See, you know this is what I mean. The two reporters here know this information because they write right here that it was a reference to his speech by then Vice President Kamala Harris in twenty twenty two, which drew headlines for her likening j six to other dates in our collective memory, including nine to eleven and the Pearl Harbor attack December seventh, nineteen forty one. When The News and Observer reached out to the Office of Management and Budget, what about your treats? Explain your tweet to us, A spokesperson replied with one line, I guess in an email, suggesting once again the suggesting, suggesting the claims were not meant to be taken seriously. Quote seems like the N and O News and Observer seems like the N and O has never heard of sarcasm, So allow me to interpret that that is also sarcasm. That may be What's that may be? The problem here is that they're using sarcasm in the in the press shop to tell you that, yes, it's sarcasm. These are jokes at being made at democrats expense. Now, I know y'all may be a little too close to Democrats to find this funny, but I can assure you people on the right or like the other half of the country like they they understand this joke. Okay, But This is the way you kind of launder some tweets into a full blown story by just not being able to figure out what did you mean by that. Although Bishop's comments may have been satirical, Homeland Security has not let up on its prosecution of the mayor of Newark, Baraka, and has threatened to rests for the other Democratic lawmakers present at Friday's altercation. Two. Oh, I see, so you're worried that some people may be prosecuted for entering a federal facility without permission. Now interesting, very interesting. Man, I gotta tell you, the whole weaponization of government that seems like something that we probably should avoid. No, man, if only. If only we had had some warnings or something about the slippery slope when government officials started using the full might and force of the of the federal apparatus to go after political opponents, people praying outside of abortion clinics, protesting school board meetings, that kind of thing, like, if only there were signs that this could go sideways very quickly. I don't know, but yes, that was sarcasm. I don't believe Dan Bishop in the Omb has any power to actually do anything with regards to arresting people for this. I think he was just tweeting sarcastically at that. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina?

Last hour, I said, I've got audio to play regarding the Abrago Garcia case. Well, Christinom Homeland Security secretary, appeared before for Congress. It was supposed to be about budget stuff. I think. But Dan Goldman, who is a congressman from New York, you may recall he was one of the lawyers for the Democrats when they impeached Donald Trump, and he parlayed that star power into a run for Congress and he has won. And I think that's for the best because he isn't really a very good attorney, I don't think. But he he starts in on Christino and here's how that went. Mister A bray gl Garcia pursue it to this court order. It's got to be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents to see you fight for a terrorist like this and not fight for them is extremely alarming to me. I'm fighting for due process stitus, and that's under the constitution. Gentlemen's two hired process. The gentleman's time has expired. I now recognize miss Green for five minutes questioning. Okay, and we're going to get to that because more fireworks there from Dan Goldman too. But did you hear the reaction from the crowd when she called Abrego Garcia a terrorist which that's the language that the administration is using because they designated MS thirteen a terrorist organization. So if you're an MS thirteen, they've got now expanded powers to use against you and getting you out of the country, arresting you, detaining you, attacking your operations. And that sort of stuff. Right, So trendy Arragua also right, the cartels, So that's why she's using this term. And the activists obviously that are in the gallery watching this, oh my gosh, they just can't believe she would use such a term. See, here's the thing. None of your performative theatrics work anymore. We don't care. I didn't care about it before a lot of people were cowed by the theater kids' performances, but I've never cared like. I recognize it for what it is. I was a theater kid. I know what you're doing. I can see right through the performance. You're talking to a guy here who actually you're listening to a guy here who considers all actors to be paid professional liars. Okay, that's what they are. Some of them are quite good at it. Some of them get so good at it they don't even know who they are anymore. So that's my general rule on all of this kind of stuff. I don't believe you when you're like, oh my gosh, I'm so offended. I don't believe it. I think you're mugging for the cameras. And then Marjorie Taylor Green she starts reading what she has a little poster that she's holding up, and it appears to be it's like a screenshot I think from a Fox News appearance by Attorney General Pam Bondi where she outlined all of the bullet points here on the Abrego Garcia case and his is passed and why he was deported, why you know there was due process? Because Dan Goldman's screaming about I'm for due process and you should be too, like I don't really know if that's a rallying cry that's going to motivate a ton of people to go to the polls for you. But I don't know. Maybe your polling says something different. But there was due process. There was you can you can clamor for more. But he did get the due process that everybody gets if you're in the country illegally and you are apprehended and brought before a judge and they go through this process. He got that, and Appellet Board agreed. The clock is not yours right now, she has the floor. Please continue answering the question. Thank you, mister chairman. A Maryland County is not. Answering the question, sir, No, She's going to answer the question, and then you can object and you're in make sure that she answers the question. Finish answer. You just said, please finish your answer. A Maryland All right. So she is trying to get this graphic submitted to the committee, and usually this happens very easily. It's I have this news report from Washington Post and submitted for the record, no objection every and then it's in. But for some reason, Dan Goldman doesn't want her reading this list and doesn't want this to just be received by the committee. Glynn County Police Gang Unit agreed that he's MS thirteen. A reliable confidential informant agreed that he's MS thirteen. Ice officers agreed that he's MS thirteen. An immigration judge agreed that he's MS thirteen, and a pellet board agreed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, your marilynd manned is MS thirteen. Okay, I'm jeb floor. What do you want to say? I object because she is misstating the record and the facts that is not accurate. That all of that is actually accurate. That is all accurate. Everything she said there was accurate. And therefore I object to that being introduced. No, Sar, can I explain? You let her go on? You go ahead. There is no final court order establishing that he's a member. Maybe he is, so. You should put all that evidence before a judge, and if he is MS thirteen, he should be deported. That's what we're talking about. But you're misstating what the all of that evidence is. No, No, she actually is not mistating what all of that evidence is. What he is doing is moving the goalpost. He says. He wants a final court order establishing that this guy's MS thirteen. That is not required. You know what's required, his identification confirmed. Check in the country illegally. Check. Oh and by the way, he has all of these other connections to MS thirteen, which is probably likely in indicative of his ties to MS thirteen. But again the relevant point he is Kilmar Abrigo Garcia and number two. He's in the country illegally. That's it. That's all that's needed. All of the other stuff is just gravy. I think I'm going to make it a point here. You basically just read what the Attorney General said. Correct, Yes, you didn't assert that this was a court order? Did you assert that this was a court order? I read the Attorney General of the United States. And you have a right on our committee to submit for unanimous consent or a vote if we want to put it to a vote. This for the record, correct? Is that? Yes? That is all right? Okay, that's it. But Dan Goldman doesn't want it in the record. He doesn't want anybody to know. I guess about all these ties? All right? So spring is here a time of renewal and celebrations.

Let's jump over to the phones and talk with John. Hello, John, Welcome to the show. Good Afternoons. They just want to tell you old story about my family. My father was born in Ireland. He was brought over here by his parents illegally when he was four years old. His dad deserted the family when he was about twelve, so he was a foster kid pretty much fact during a depression until he joined the United States Army over a year before Pearl Harbor. So he was in uniform with a Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, but he didn't know whether he was a US citizen or not. He was in the first Infantry Division, was one of the first was one of the first group of folks that landed in North Africa to fight Romel and the Germans. On the way over there, the Army swore him in as a citizen, supposedly, so if he were captured, he betreated as an American prisoner and not as some stateless person or something. But they never gave him any paperwork. He was wounded in North Africa both legs. They had a purple heart. If you've watched the Patent movie, the first part of the Patent movie George C. Scott is about the North Africa campaign. It wasn't a movie to my dad. He was there. They swore him in again when he was transferred over to the Air Corps, but didn't give you any paperwork, and he served out his time of the army in Italy. After the war, he moved North Carolina to marry my mother and went through the naturalization process just like he had just come into the country, to make darn sure that he had the paperwork proved that he was a United States citizen. He died at one hundred and one as a proud American, and he made my family proud of him. Sure, these people are freaking crazy. They bring all these folks, ten million or more of men here to affect the census so they can affect the congressional apportionment and the electoral college and make it easier for the Democrats to win, just like their Democrat forefathers wanted to count their slaves as towards the congressional apportionment in electoral college, you know, as citizens. But then they wanted to treat them like cattle for the purposes of. Property, right and not let them vote. Is ut? Yeah, for here illegally. My dad would standing here and tell you if he was still allowed to port them and deport them. Now, Yeah, it's the it is the the uncovered and undercovered story in the entire illegal immigration debate is the insult it is to the legal immigrants that wait their turn, go through the process, spend years doing so, spend thousands of dollars, stay out of trouble, be productive members of society, and they go through all of that just to see other people get advantages by skipping the line. Well, how do you think my dad would have failed when he shd his blood for this country not knowing whether he was a citizen or not. Yeah, that's what I mean. It's an insult. That's that's it is an insult, and it's anti patriot. Yeah, John, I appreciate the call. Thanks for sharing the story. Man. You take care of sir, all. Right, buddy, you too. There's a development I think today this morning there was and I don't know what actually occurred in the court proceeding if it did occur, but I think they were scheduled this morning up in Milwaukee. The judge, remember that judge that helped the illegal alien escape out the back door. Hannah Dugan is her name. She helped to hide an illegal alien in her courthouse and help him escape through a side door. When ICE agents came to nab him. RedState dot COM's Bob Hoge says, first the Wisconsin Supreme Court suspended her in late April, and then Tuesday, a federal grand jury indicted her on two charges. She's facing up to six years in prison in a maximum fine of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Her argument for why the case against her should be tossed. This is her argument. You ready, the problems with this prosecution are legion So there's a lot of them, but most immediately, the government cannot prosecute Judge Dougan because she is entitled too judicial immunity for her official acts. Judicial immunity. Isn't that what the guy said in Lethal Weapon Too right before mel Gibson. I have judicial immunity. It may have been diplomatic immunity. But either way, no, you don't have. Here's the thing I'm like. I'm no lawyer, neither is the author of this piece, Bob Hoage. But it's pretty hard to see how breaking the law is an official act that would be covered by judicial immunity because it is not, in fact an official judicial act, and the lawyers who advance this should be embarrassed, and I would say reprimanded by the court for making that kind of a dumbass argument. So we'll see how that plays out. We also have an update here on the story we talked about yesterday, the ICE enforcement that picked or the ICE action where they picked up somebody over in East Charlotte Albemarle Road. Channel nine reporting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released information yesterday after an arrest was made near a drop offline at an East Charlotte Mecklenburg school, the Charlotte East Language Academy. When asked about the arrest near the school, ICE told Channel nine that they arrested Adrian Ojeda Calvio, who was a criminal from Mexico and in the country here illegally. He has a criminal history which includes convictions for domestic violence on a female, robbery, kidnapping, and breaking and entering. And I spokesperson sent Channel nine a statement and said the activity had nothing to do with the school, nor was it at the school. The details from ICE, though, appear to be different from the video from a CMS parent showing what appears to be in arrest. I said that the arrest happened on a sidewalk, but video shows agents in the middle of the road. Looked like they were in a turn lane. Actually, so I says that it caught up with Ojeedo Calvillo on a public sidewalk near his home and he was taken into custody without incident. I said that it urges the public to avoid spreading rumors or misinformation that causes unnecessary panic in the immigrant community. Fear based narratives only disrupt communities and hinder our efforts to maintain safety, they say. Now, what's interesting also in this WSOC article is they've got a They've got a mug shot of Adrian Ojeedo Cavill from the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's office, which tells me that he was booked in the Sheriff's office, hence the mugshot. So how did he get out of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's office. Why would somebody with convictions for domestic violence, assault on a female, robbery, kidnapping, and breaking and entering that kind of a rap sheet, who's in the country illegally, Why would he be released from the Mecklinberg County Sheriff's office before he could be turned over to ice and deported. Oh gosh, that's a brainbuster. It's a mystery. We may never know that. It's actually Gary. Not my fault, macfatto, it's the sheriff. Sure, I'm sure, Like I it's just unbelievable to me. And he makes this argument that somehow or another, this is making us more safe. Deportations won't solve the illegal immigration problem, is what he said. Our sheriff said it would have solved this problem. We had sent this guy away maybe after one or two of these felonies, maybe he wouldn't have been here to commit the others. So 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.

I would be willing to consider getting Kilmar Obrego Garcia released if he has to go live with one of these brilliant and morally superior activists in their home. I'm sure that would settle the situation for most of them. I like it. I like this idea house arrest. Let's put them on house arrest in the home of one of the AOC. How about that. You gotta go live. You have to sponsor him. He has to live in your house with you, all right? These are the terms of his release. There's also the story out of Lancaster, South Carolina. And I did get a message here from John who says, Pete, you already have this pronunciation straight. But some stories have revealed that several WBT on air talent are confused. And yes, this is sarcasm. Maybe you can pass the word and be helpful. Yes, Lancaster is Pennsylvania. Lancaster is South Carolina. I learned that when I moved. When I came down South, went to school at went through university in rock Hill. I learned Lancaster very quickly. Also, Concord not conquered. You do not tell people in the area here in the South that any place they live is conquered. That's just. I'm sorry, but it is how it's pronounced conquered. Up north, it's you know, Lexington and conquered anyway, So here it's Concord, and it's Lancaster and Stallings as well. Out of misunderstanding of that one as well. Stallings also Ballentine instead of Balentine, So Lancaster County, South Carolina. Larisia Sharell Thompson, forty years old, mother of two, murdered by six illegal aliens, half of them under the age of what sixteen or seventeen. New York Post reports six illegal immigrants, including miners as young as thirteen, have been charged with the quote random murder of a South Carolina mom, a crime the local sheriff said defies any sense of decency in a civilized society. The five teens and a twenty one year old suspect shooter, were rested Monday, ten days after the body of Larisha Thompson, forty, was found fatally shot behind the wheel of her Honda Accord. The suspects were arrested after the nine millimeters pistol used to kill her was linked to a burglary from several days prior, and the suspects were caught by surveillance footage. At that first crime, they apparently shot like ten rounds into the security camera. Then they used the same gun in the murder. Oh, and then they went to another convenience store right after the murder, where they're seen on video footage laughing it up and having a grand old time, and cops were able to connect the casings and I guess slugs from both scenes. Those arrested Monday include three juveniles ages thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen, who have not been identified because of their age. There was another a seventeen and eighteen and a twenty one year old, which this is odd to me. When you were twenty one, did you ever have out with thirteen and fourteen and fifteen year olds, like in a social setting, like, Hey, let's just go out and hang out guys. No, hello, cringe, Like that's not You don't hang out with thirteen and fourteen year olds if you're twenty one, and if you're thirteen and fourteen, you know, why are you hanging out with his twenty one year old? Maybe it's like the cool kid or something that's a guy. It's like, Oh, he's gonna drive us around and take us places or whatever. I feel like there's something else going on here. The twenty one year old is the accused shooter. Oh and they found the murder weapon, which are also is connected to the casings and slugs like that. They say those. Came from the gun that they recovered at his house. So they got him on video and they've got the murder weapon. Oh and they have the WhatsApp messages where they planned it. Yeah they yeah, they detailed what they were going to do. They're like, we're going to go down to this road and we're gonna shoot at some cars and they're gonna stop, Which is a stupid plan because when you shoot at cars, they generally just drive away. You kill them, Like, why would you stop if you're driving and somebody opens fire on your car? Why would you stop? Right? So, not a good plan, but they put it all in the text messages. And then one of the after the murder, when they're celebrating, they were happy, and when they were walking through the convenience store, they're happy that they killed somebody. They talked about throwing the car in the river, getting rid of bodies, her body and everything in it. She had the car locked and so that's why they couldn't get in. I guess they don't know how to break a window, even with a gun, but they could not get into the car, so they left it. That's why we found her body and were able to connect all of the dots here. They said in the text messages, Relax, this is just the beginning. At least we killed someone, so I took that one of there's two ways I can read this. One is that okay, failed at the robbery, but at least we did something bad. Right, like they wanted to rob her, they wanted all of her stuff, but we couldn't get that. So hey, at least we were able to murderer. Or we did the minimum to pass some sort of initiation even if we didn't get the money in the car, at least we passed initiation. I can read it either way, and that actually might explain why a thirteen and fourteen year old or hanging with a twenty one year old Lancaster, South Carolina. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
