[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Hb10 this is the law that the North Carolina legislature has been trying to pass now for about a year and a half

[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: That would require sheriffs in basically six counties including Mecklenburg

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: to

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_01]: cooperate with ICE when it comes to the detainers

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Somebody gets arrested for some criminal activity. They are held in the jail

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And as quickly as our system wants to try to turn them loose

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes they're actually like really bad ombrace

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_01]: To quote a presidential candidate

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Some of the people that get picked up for criminal activity this may shock you are wanted for other crimes in other

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_01]: countries or

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_01]: American jurisdictions. I know but it's true

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_01]: They did not come to Charlotte and engage in their first criminal activity

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And so when they are found to be wanted someplace and they the immigration customs enforcement wants to deport them

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Ice asks the sheriffs. Hey hold on to that person

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_01]: We want to come by and pick them up and we want to deport them and

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You got six sheriffs in the state that say no

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Remember the 287g program named after a section of the law

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: This was implemented by the former Mecklenburg County sheriff Jim Pendergraf a Democrat

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: It was continued by his successors Chip Bailey and then Irwin Carmichael

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01]: All three of them kept doing the 287g program

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: This guy that we've got now

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Said no and he ran on a campaign promise to dismantle it and to not work with ICE

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And he did that in order to win the Democrat primary

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_01]: fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_01]: every citizen to prove that they are

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_01]: insured

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That you have medical insurance health insurance, right? We have to prove that when we file our taxes

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Every citizen has to show that they're insured, right?

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Well at the same time not everybody has to prove they're a citizen

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Right how stupid

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: is this

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_01]: out of Alabama an

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Undocumented individual has been charged in connection

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_01]: With her fraudulent assumption of a United States citizens identity and her use of that identity to vote in multiple elections and obtain

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: multiple United States passports

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: She's a unicorn. Oh my gosh, I was told

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Reliably assured by the smarter people than I that

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That this does not happen

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: That these types of incidents do not occur

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_01]: But here we have an incident of it occurring which is weird because it doesn't occur

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_01]: This is according to the Justice Department. I'm reading their press release a

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_01]: nine-count bill of information filed in the US District Court down in Alabama

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_01]: charges

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Angelica Maria Francisco 42 years old most recently of Russellville

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: With false claims of citizenship in connection with voting

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_01]: False statements in application for a US passport you use of a United States passport

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Obtained by false statements and aggravated identity theft plea agreement was filed with the information

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Indicating that Francisco has agreed to plead guilty to all of the charges

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: According to the it maybe she could get one of those hunter Biden deals

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Where she can take the Alfred plea

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying I did it. I'm just saying you're totally gonna convict me

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: According to the information in the agreement she assumed the identity of a US citizen

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_01]: In or around 2011 she used the false identity to obtain a United States passport in 2011

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: She subsequently used said passport to travel to and from her native country of Guatemala in

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_01]: 2012 and then again in 2015 and then again in 2018

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: She used the same false identity

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: to register to vote in

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Alabama in

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_01]: 2016 and she voted in the 2016 election as well as the

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_01]: 2016 or sorry the 2020 primary and general elections

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And in 2021 she used the same false identity to apply for and receive

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: A renewed passport which she used to travel to and from Guatemala in

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: 2022

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_01]: The thing that never happened

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: happened

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So I guess now we move to the stage of okay, it happened, but it's very rare

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: That's usually like the first step is it's not happening

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Then the second step with the progressives is that okay

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: It does happen, but it's so very rare

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and then the third step is

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's not so rare, but it doesn't have any impact and then after that stage

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It's okay. It is happening and this is why it's a good thing

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Those are the stages that we run through whether it's vote fraud or it's you know, you know criminal alien gangs

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: stuff like that

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_01]: John says in an email to pete at the pete calendar show

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh the list of the sheriffs

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_01]: What do they all have in common? They are yes, Democrats fighting to save our democracy

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: By ignoring laws. That's it

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Right that is what they are doing. They are ignoring the law

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Because the because and what they say is we don't want to get sued

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to be sued

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Which you absolutely would love to get sued just my

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: My belief is that you would love to be sued so you can enter into a collusive agreement

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Which why wouldn't you have done that by now? Unless maybe you know, you would lose and the collusive agreement with the suing plaintiffs

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We get it would end up backfiring on you

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Because no other sheriff has been sued for this

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: right

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You get arrested for some illegal activity

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You get taken to the jail and it used to be we would identify the people under the 287 g program

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: As who they are you would be able to figure out

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Running their name through databases and such getting fingerprints and cross-referencing with other

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh information that's out there and you would be able to to determine this person should not be in the country

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And so let's get them out because they've obviously broken our laws. They've been arrested for criminal activity

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, but pete they haven't been adjudicated

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: As guilty and that is true

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But they're still here illegally

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, you know what happens when you allow for the criminal element to remain in the country illegally

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: They continue to victimize

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_01]: other people in their community

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Once again another example of the people who are

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: positioning themselves as

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: morally superior are actually promoting policies that victimize and harm the very people they claim to be trying to help

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The very people they claim to care more about

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: than you

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Ralph welcome to the program. Hello Ralph

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey pete and what are the repercussions for these sheriffs if they continue to break this if this new law goes into effect

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_00]: What are the repercussions for them if they don't abide by it? Ah, glad you asked Ralph

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: part of the law

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: allows the

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: North Carolina attorney general to drop the hammer on these sheriffs

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So removal so well, well, I well, yeah, I don't know about uh, that that could very well be part of it

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but they could try to force them to comply. They could sanction them some, uh, you know somehow they could

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Charge them with crimes or something

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but they are there is a there are provisions in there that allow the attorney general

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_01]: To punish the sheriffs that don't comply which makes the election for north carolina attorney general

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Very very very very very important because I suspect baby jesus aka jeff jackson

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Is probably not going to want to enforce this law against his fellow democrat sheriffs

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. That's why we're in robin haze running that running against him. No robin haze

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, uh, who is the gentleman that's running against the jeff jackson, uh, dan bishop

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Dan bishop dan bishop my bad. Yeah, congressman dan bishop

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Is running against jeff jackson for north carolina attorney general

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: So I have no doubt the dan will drop said hammer

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_01]: No, oh, yeah, I have no expectation that baby jesus would all right ralph. I appreciate the call sir

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Here's a

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_01]: message from the hellion who says

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: sheriff mcfak in it

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's oh

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: That's uh, gary not my fault mcfadden

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Sheriff mcfak in it will find some other way to delay or screw up the ice functions. They probably already have a counter

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_01]: That's possible that is possible, especially if uh, jeff jackson aka the baby jesus if he were to win

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh for north carolina attorney general and by the way that uh, that nick name

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh was given to him by his fellow democrats while he was in the state legislature

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Because like what did baby jesus do?

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He was a baby

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't do much of anything at the time. He was just you know, a baby

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But he had so much promise. He was the one that was foreseen and prophesized and

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even do anything as a baby

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He just arrived, you know

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, um, I didn't come up with the nickname

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just relaying it to you so you can be fully informed. Um

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Ralph asked about

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: What kind of penalties? Um, this is from the uh carolina journal story on

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, what happens to sheriffs? What kind of recourse is there if sheriffs if house bill 10 does pass

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and uh does

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: survive a

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Vito from roi cooper which is possible. He may veto the entire budget yet again

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean the guy has only signed one budget in his entire time as governor

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So all the teacher pay raises that have been given to teachers over the last eight years

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: None of them except the last one had his signature

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Every single one got veto. He can he can claim no credit for any teacher pay raise in

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: What six of the last seven budgets?

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So he may veto this one too

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And the only reason he didn't veto the last one was because it had the Medicaid expansion in it

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: So we had to get credit for that because that was literally the only thing he was running on was like

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Medicaid expansion Medicaid expense. Why brought mandy cohen here?

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: He she was supposed to be in charge of the Medicaid expansion anyway

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Um

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Here's from the piece on the uh on how to enforce this senators amended the bill this was um

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Earlier this year

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: To better address enforcement the approved amendment allows any person

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Including a federal agency to file a complaint with the north carolina attorney general

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Allegeing that a sheriff failed to comply with the law

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_01]: The attorney general can then seek a court order to enforce the law against sanctuary sheriffs

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Some wonder if partisan politics may come into play being that current attorney general josh stein a democrat running for governor

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Has repeatedly refused to cooperate with the legislature stein has not addressed it publicly

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_01]: because the media

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Won't force him to obviously

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_01]: His opponent for governor lieutenant governor mark robinson has been vocal about his support for the bill however

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So there you go. That's the um

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the provision

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You can file a uh

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_01]: A complaint to the attorney general's office. The attorney general can then seek a court order to enforce the law

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Now if a sheriff still refuses to comply, then you're in litigation

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: so

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Again

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_01]: elections have consequences here

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of elections the republican national committee is warning election officials in six states swing states

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Including north carolina

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_01]: About a nonprofit group that they allege may be violating election laws

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Also a piece of the carolina journal carolina journal dot com this one by teresa opaca

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh north carolina state elections board democratic chairman alan hirsch

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_01]: received a letter

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Last week from the r n c to monitor the actions of a group called voter. Oh, actually i guess it would be vat er

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_01]: vot dash capital e capital r

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So that would be vat er

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_01]: right

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Vot er

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a 501 c3 that was started in 2019 at massachusetts general hospital by alistair martin an emergency room physician at harvard medical school

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: He is also a former staffer for vice president

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Kamala harris and has served on the department of health and human services advisory panel since 2023

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a lefty

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a lefty group

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And they are doing voter registration drives

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: At your medical facility all of them

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: The 501 c3 like all kinds of medical facilities not just for the checkup when they ask you do you have any guns in the house?

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Like that's none of your business doctor. None of your business

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, by the way, did you know that you can say like I don't need to answer any of these questions? You can say that so

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: The 501 c3 states on its website that it is a non partisan organization

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_01]: That develops non-partisan civic engagement tools and programs for every corner of the health care system from private practitioners

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: To medical schools to hospitals the group has partnered with more than 500 hospitals and clinics

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And has helped tens of thousands of people register to vote

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Including the people

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: In the institutions

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: mm-hmm

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm old enough to remember when a fella named nick mackey

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Got into a bunch of trouble

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: when he

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: thwarted the effort to

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Name chip bailey as the successor to jim pendograph in meklamur county as the sheriff nick mackey went around to old age homes

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And got a whole bunch of uh registered democrats to vote for him

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: For sheriff in a closed

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh party election

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: When jim pendograph announced his retirement everybody assumed chip bailey would be the successor because everybody liked him the democrats and republicans both were fine with him

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And the party got to name his successor

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But the party had a vote for it

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And nick mackey

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Read the rules and went around and got a whole bunch of these people

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: That were in old age homes and facilities

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And he got a bunch of votes and he ended up winning

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: To the point where it was such an embarrassment that local democrats had to figure out a way to hold another election

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Which they did they found a way to keep nick mackey out

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He then ran for state legislature and won a seat

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was about 15 years ago

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_01]: You know reproductive healthcare is a really big deal. Would you like to register to vote?

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: In north carolina we've got uh, let's see here

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Johnisha brown assistant professor and hospitalist at atrium health

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_01]: parisa ballard assistant professor of family and community medicine at wake forest are among the group's advisors

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Wake Forest School of Medicine

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Votter lists the following north carolina healthcare providers and organizations as some of its partners

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_01]: atrium

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: nc child

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_01]: nc clinicians for climate action

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: north carolina community health center association

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: and north carolina pediatric society

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, let's see here uh, do do do vaters goal

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_01]: According to luke bunting the election integrity council for the republican national committee

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Said their goal is for healthcare workers to push voter registration materials on their patients via

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Votters provided scripts and resources turning every checkup and doctor's visit into a political lecture

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_01]: He said that while the rnc has always been a staunch supporter of voter registration and participation

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: This quote perversion of the doctor patient relationship

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Raises serious legal concerns

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Given the laws and regulations governing that relationship and voter registration

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not difficult to imagine how a patient could feel pressured

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_01]: The the power dynamic that we hear from the left on everything else

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Right the power dynamic between a healthcare worker and a patient is the very reason that politics should be out of the doctor's office

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Democrats have been making this very argument when it comes to abortion

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: statutory

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Doctors should not be having conversations though about the law

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And what you know what what politician they should be voting for and are you registered to vote and let me help you register to vote

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I see you're in here for some

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, some abortion related

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Care and so uh, i'm going to now make sure you're registered to vote and you know there's a particular party that is way

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Friendlier to the uh to the abortions

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Bunting said vauder conducts voter registration at the pennsylvania psychiatric institute

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We're almost one fifth of the patients in 2020 had been involuntarily committed

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_01]: A quarter had psychotic disorders everything from anxiety and depression to bipolar and schizophrenia is treated

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: During the 2020 election

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_01]: The letter states there wasn't a single psychiatric diagnosis that excluded a patient

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_01]: From vauders voter registration at the institute. So they have an example

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Of this kind of effort being conducted inside psychiatric institutions

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: In a press release

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_01]: An inpatient psychiatrist at the institute said that voting is quote an important part of the recovery process

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It has been found to increase life satisfaction

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Decrease risky behaviors and increase mental well-being

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Really really

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Getting more involved in politics you say

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Increases mental well-being

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not been my personal experience

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen a lot of people

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Go a little bit nuts when it comes to

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Participating in the uh political process

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But i mean that's just me. What do I know?

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a psychiatrist

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: The rnc's letter also uh raises a flag about how healthcare workers are interacting with undocumented patients too

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll get to that in a second. Let me get over to richard first. Hello, richard. Welcome to the program

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You know it's high, you know, it's really just another

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Case of the system being manipulated by the big money people

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_02]: They're taking their issues

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: They're shoving them in front of people the voters are just really caught off guard

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You know you're in the doctor's office. You got an issue and what do they do? Oh, you know, you need to vote to keep your healthcare

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_02]: uh, you know every

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_02]: system every big

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: institution in this country has been corrupted by big money

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And and when you hear people talk about you know the pharmaceutical industry you hear talk people talking about military industrial complex

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not wrong good grief when you take a guy like big cheney supporting biden. It's all part of the same

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: The thickness that this country has and it's big money big money pushing its way into every

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_02]: crevice of our life. What is big money?

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Big money pharmaceutical companies putting money into these voter groups guaranteed

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I can guarantee is the day is long

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like dug into voter group their funding is coming from some big

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Special interest corporation

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I would okay because when you say big money it just it could just I mean that could just be a lot of money

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: We're saying you're saying like uh institutions and industries

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah institutions industry the big lobbyist groups these people who have all sorts of lobbying influence

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And uh, they're they're connected to every one of these

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh pseudo democrat groups or even republicans. It doesn't even matter anymore

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_02]: What party it is because it's this unit party that's running everything and it's keeping the the establishment in place

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what it is. So what do we do? We go and send uh people to the doctor's offices and and get voters

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's almost as bad as going to the cemetery and finding voters

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, you know

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_01]: We you know, who am I who am I to you know turn away people that are dead that want to vote really?

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, richard. I appreciate the call. Um

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean these are institutions that have been co-opted

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The people that are doing this stuff are doing it at the ground level and they're doing it because they're believers in what it is

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That they're doing, you know

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: So when I was a kid my grandpa died with alzheimers and before he died my mom and my dad and all of us really helped take care of them

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_01]: As he got progressively worse

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_01]: 40 years ago

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: There were no treatments and not much support for caregivers and family

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Things are different today because of the work of so many people including the alzheimers association of western north carolina

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great organization with awesome people. They've got huge hearts. I've been a supporter for like 25 years

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: This cause means a lot to me

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Votter vot dash er

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_01]: another uh

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You know progressive effort to

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: uh do voter registration

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: this time in

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01]: medical clinics and practices and er's and such um

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: You know while you're sitting there on the bench wearing your gown with the uh with the

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Opening in the back feeling kind of vulnerable. Maybe a little sick

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a loved one dying or something in the next room and uh, you know

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_01]: When better to talk to you about registering to vote

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Just a totally natural conversation to come up between you and your doctor, right?

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Chip roy congressman from texas

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_01]: asked for confirmation

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That um

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: The organization's voter registration programs are also not registering non-citizens

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_01]: The r&c sent a letter to the organization and two boards of elections

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Raising flags about how healthcare workers are interacting with undocumented patients because

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_01]: They had a script that instructs the worker to provide the patient with voter registration materials and encourages the patient to disseminate the materials among their family and friends

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so you're enlisting them too. So it's not just

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You register to vote it's here's some material take it to your friends and family get them registered to vote also

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: The r&c said trusting individuals

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Who violated the nation's immigration laws?

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: To only register friends and family who are lawfully able to register to vote is foolish and dangerous

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially when the patients are not legally allowed to register themselves

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Are they even are

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Are the medical professionals even allowed to ask if somebody is an undocumented immigrant or no

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So they would even just don't ask and then you don't get them to tell you

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you can register them and you can give them materials and have them go register others

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_01]: So chip roy

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Said on july 9th 2024

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Votter a supposed nonpartisan organization signed a letter opposing the safeguard american voter eligibility act

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_01]: This was house resolution 82 81

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01]: called the save act savv the save act

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Which passed the house of representatives on a bipartisan basis

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And it would require states to obtain proof of citizenship before registering an individual to vote

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And democrats opposed it. I don't believe it went anywhere in the senate

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And if it did i'm sure joe biden would have vetoed it

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You've got I have it here someplace in the stack of

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_01]: In the stack of stuff about the save act back when it was initially passed

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Do do well the dnc platform

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Also

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_01]: says that

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Democrat parties platform endorses a bill that would create a pathway for illegal immigrants to become lawful

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_01]: perspective immigrants who would be issued ids and social security numbers and then be able to vote

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: It was called the u.s citizenship act

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And it would empower the homeland security secretary to quote adjust the status of a lawful

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Perspective immigrant to that of a lawful permanent resident should an immigrant remain in the country for five years

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And not be absent for longer than 180 days. So if you just come and stay

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Ali aliyah oxenfree there you go the u.s citizenship act

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And it would just be at the discretion of alohandro mayorkas the current homeland security secretary who I have no doubt would survive

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_01]: A harris election. I suspect he would probably remain in place

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it would also allow deported illegals to return if they had lived in america for at least three years

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That this is how we get at the root causes of the illegal immigration issue. Is that right?

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It had no republican cosponsors by the way the u.s citizenship act that was the democrats attempt

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Here we go. This was back in july

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Democrats spent eight years faining outrage about foreign election interference because they falsely claim it led to trump's election

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But 198 house democrats voted against a bill that would help keep foreign nationals from interfering in american elections by requiring

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: proof of citizenship

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: To register to vote

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Democrats um

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Do do do it oh, oh so they say well, it's already illegal for them to register to vote in federal elections

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, so okay first off. What's stopping them? Oh, they didn't check the box. That's it

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: That's that's all it takes you just check the box and that's why a lot of them check the box and they register unknowingly

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but they also

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_01]: vote in local elections democrats in

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_01]: controlled jurisdiction democrat controlled jurisdictions have been

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_01]: passing laws to allow

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_01]: non-citizens to vote in local races

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And i'm sure they know don't vote in the federal races just vote in the local municipal race. That's it

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The influx of illegal aliens and other non-citizens into the country's health care system number one number two

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Voter's public opposition vaughters public opposition

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_01]: against the save act

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Tells you all you need to know about what's actually going on with this effort. All right, that'll do it for this episode
