A couple of breaking news items. Apparently I'm seeing reports, Well it's not apparently I'm seeing I am seeing reports that apparently David Hogg might be out as DNC vice chair. I've yet to see any confirmation of that. It was just I saw somebody with a scoop, so we'll see. Also, we've got a report here that hang on, let me open this up. It is there have been a bunch of fires set. There's a there are massive wildfires burning in and near Jerusalem. They have arrested in arson suspect. It is a Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem and David ray bois rebois rebel rebey. He says, deliberately setting fire to the land you believe is yours is the most Palestinian thing ever, and that is that's fair. And also the New York Times has just discovered that Christians wear crosses on necklaces. They did a whole story on it. So just want to get you caught up. Christians where the cross on their necklaces. It's a brand new trend. Apparently the New York Times has just been alerted to it, and so they they started a deep dive. They did a whole write up on this brand new trend. All right, I'm so excited today, you know why, because Gary's Law is one step closer to adoption. Gary's Law. We're going to make this happen. We're going to make Gary's Law happen, and hopefully it'll be called Gary's Law too, as I feel like there's still time. Although there are other sheriffs in the state that this could apply to, but locally, it's I'm calling a Gary's Law forever. That's it's what it's going to be named after our illustrious and sometimes frustrated Sheriff Gary not my fault, McFadden. So the bill was passed by the North Carolina House yesterday and it would shore up requirements for local law enforcements cooperation with federal immigration officials. The story out of the North State Journal NSJ online dot com by our friend ap Dillon. The bill covers arrests for felonies, and yesterday there was an amendment offered and adopted that added a one that's a class A one misdemeanors such as sexual battery and battery on an unborn person, which obviously was outrageous to Democrats. None of them supported it except one Democrat. There was one Democrat who crossed over and voted with the Republicans on passage of the bill. It was Mecklenburg County Democrat Carla Cunningham, who has supported these types of efforts before the ICE cooperation efforts. Charlotte Observer reports the House voted seventy to forty five to approve House Bill three eighteen. Cunningham's support for the bill stood out as several other Democrats from Mecklinberg County spoke during the debate on Tuesday afternoon to express their strong opposition to it, which, by the way, this would be why nobody in Democrat leadership in Mecklinberg County is making any kind of an effort to remove Gary McFadden, which they can do. You can remove a sheriff from office for maladministration, for corruption, for other things, but that would be I would submit maladministration. I kind of feel like, when you have eighteen deaths in the jail in your what six year tenure, six and a half year tenure so far, you're you got three deaths per year at the jail, not to mention, you know, the exodus of of your command staff, your inability to retain qualified people the way you know, he used racial slurs against his own command staffers, all of this, but it would require Democrats to have to throw one of their own out for maladministration. I have very little doubt that there is probably a majority of Democrat officials in Mecklenburg County that recognize the problem that McFadden is. I want to believe that I have no data to support this wild speculation, but I want to believe that a majority of the Democratic leadership, both in the judiciary and in the municipal and county governments. I have to believe that they see the problem when when the mean look because they're not listening to this show. They're not listening to me say this stuff. But when this Charlotte Observer editorial board says that he is not fit for the office, they have got to now be aware because you know they read the editorial board of the Charlotte Observer, right, these are their allies, so they have to be aware of this. And now we're running another bill. And congratulations State Democrats having to go on the record yet again as defending criminal illegal aliens, because that's who this is, targeting, criminal illegal aliens. Just a quick recap of how you end up in a jail cell in Mecklenburg County. Okay, if you're an illegal alien and you are speeding, you will not end up in a jail cell for simply speeding and for simply being an illegal alien. If, on the other hand, you murder somebody, let's say, and you are an illegal alien, well now you will that will land you in the Mecklinberg County jail and you will be charged with a crime. See there's a difference. When you are arrested for whipping up on your spouse, right, abusing your kids or something. You get arrested because there is probable cause to arrest you. The law enforcement officer deems there to be probable cause, and they bring you into the jail for processing. You then go before a magistrate if well, if if you're charged with murder, you're probably not going in front of a magistrate. You're probably going to a judge. But you go in front of a magistrate, and then the magistrate will set that bond for you based on the charges. If you're a flight risk and everything else, that's how you end up in the jail. So there was probable cause to bring you in for some sort of a violent act. Once you are there, then the Mecklenberg County Sheriff's Office is supposed to contact ICE and let them know, oh, hey, we got Pete Callander in here. He's accused of some violent criminal act and he's going in front of the magistrate, you know, this afternoon. And then ICE will say, let's run them through see if they're if we can confirm their identity. See now, in the past, the Mecklimber County Sheriff's Office used to be able to determine somebody's identity all on their own, but then they willfully blinded themselves to this information. By scrapping their participation in the two eighty seven g program. That was McFadden. He didn't want to know who's in the jail. And the reason you do that is so you can now not cooperate with ICE. So if somebody comes in, you treat that person as if they are a US citizen and you're not calling ICE to ask for confirmation of of their identity. The purpose is to release more illegal aliens who are charged with all sorts of crimes, every crime. So prompts the legislature to now say no, you got to send notice over to ICE, and you got to let them know if you cannot identify this person's nationality, their citizenship or visa status or whatever. If you cannot confirm it, then you have to ask ICE. You got to send it over to ICE. And then I says, oh, yeah, that person was ordered deported, so hold on to them. We're going to come get them. Do us a favor, call us before they bond out. And McFadden said, I don't have to call you. I'm not required to call you. And if I were to call you, I could be sued. Despite the fact that none of the other ninety five sheriffs across this state that have been making those phone calls have ever been sued. None of these other sheriffs have ever been sued for any of these speculative horribles that the Left say will happen if you cooperate with Ice. It's complete and utter garbage. It is a BS argument that Democrats keep making, and it is dumb and false. They are counting on the audience hearing that argument to be stupid and ignorant. 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 so you can compare coverage and verify information.

I listened to the floor debate from yesterday in the North Carolina House of Representatives as they debated House Bill three eighteen, which will require sheriffs to make a freaking phone call to Ice to let Ice know that the guy that I said they are interested in taking into custody is about to leave the jail, because apparently some sheriffs need to be told, need to be required. I am sure somebody else is going to come along and put some other loophole, you know, in front of our sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden, and the four or five other sheriffs around the state that do this same sort of game. I'm sure they're already looking at the law or the bill rather and then if it becomes law, they're looking at it and they're going to try to find yet another loophole so they can keep releasing criminal aliens back out onto the street. That is why they oppose any kind of effort to force the sheriffs to cooperate with Ice. They don't want anybody to be deported. It's very simple. Like everybody who's confused at these arguments the Democrats are making, they're they're they're making whatever argument they can because they're trying to find a rationalization for it. And you're gonna hear some really stupid arguments that were delivered by our own Mecklenberg delegation, really really stupid, like almost galactically stupid. But first we're going to start off with the House Speaker, Destin Hull, who is the primary sponsor of the bill. And that's really all you need to know is because when the Speaker of the House personally sponsors a bill, chances are it's going to pass because he's the Speaker of the House, right he's the leader of the House majority Republicans, so he's the primary sponsor. He comes down, you know, off the you know, out of the well where he's up there leading the House meeting, the conference whatever. He's usually up there running the show, and he comes down and he speaks from the floor in order to defend his and advocate for his bill. He says, ninety five out of the state's one hundred county sheriffs fully and voluntarily already cooperate with ICE. But unfortunately, some where around five or so sheriffs in our state if not outright violating the law or certainly violating the spirit that was behind that law. True that said that when an ICE detainer gets loves, the sheriff has somebody in their jail who's been charged with a serious crime that they have to cooperate with ICE. So this bill fixes any perceived loopholes that may exist in the current wall. It requires the sheriff to communicate with ICE, let them know that they've got someone in there they can't determine citizenship for. If they receive an ICE detainer, they then have to hold that person for up to forty eight hours from the time that they would otherwise be released, and they have to contact ICE to let them know they've received a detainer and to let them know when that person will be released from custody from their jail. Okay. One of the things they also clarified here was the timeline, because sheriffs were using the moment of take to start the clock running on the forty eight hours. So this way, if you got processed through, like let's just say you're an illegal alien, you get arrested for beating up your wife, maybe you know, beating up a couple of roommates or something whatever, and you then get arrested, you get taken to the jail, and by starting the clock the moment you walk through the jail doors, that means that if it takes, you know, a couple hours maybe a day to get processed through and then finally to make an appearance before a magistrate or something, Ice gets less time. Like everything that McFadden is doing is meant to ensure as many people who are illegally in the country that get arrested for some sort of criminal act. He wants as many of them to get out of the jail before ICE can come get them. It's what he literally ran on. He ran on a campaign promise of not cooperating with ICE. That was six years ago. The public mood has shifted, and that's why they're constructing all of these silly arguments about Oh no, no, I'm just trying to make sure I don't get sued. I'm just trying to make sure I'm following the law, and I just want a judicial warrn blah blah blah. You want illegal aliens out onto the streets, that's what you want. He has said that deportation will not solve the illegal immigration problem. He has said that, so we have another law or another bill. I should say, hopefully this becomes law. It has enough votes. If Carla Cunningham votes with the Republicans again to override agubernatorial veto, it has the votes. 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 and Cabins of Asheville is connection.

I said in the last segment that Gary McFadden has made it very clear he does not want to cooperate with ICE and that he does not believe deportations are a solution to the illegal immigration problem. Okay, and because I have this file of McFadden related dumbassary. I can give you the quotes from him. By now, ICE should be aware we do not honor civil detainers because they are not signed by a judge. That is explicit, we do not honor the detainers. I'm not sure what else you need to hear in order to understand that McFadden is not cooperating with ICE. He ran on a campaign promise not to do so. He scrapped the two eighty seven g program, and he states, we do not honor civil detainers because they are not signed by a judge. Okay. Then in another statement he put out, this was after they released somebody from the jail, and I said to go pick them up. And then he was like, not my fault, because that's his brand. Not my fault, McFadden. He says, this is why I continue to emphasize the importance of open discussions with ICE. I don't know, like, what exactly are you hoping to achieve in your open discussions. They discussed with you the detainer request. Here's our detainer request, and you say I don't honor those. That's the end of that discussion. I'm not sure what else there is to be discussed. So they have now gone around you, and the state legislature is now going to force you to cooperate with ICE. He says, simply deporting individuals is not an effective solution and does not make our communities safer. Simply deporting individual it does. Actually, it actually is a solution. If you have a secure border, deportation is an effective solution because then they cannot get back in, and if they do get back in and they get caught again, right now they can be arrested, criminally charged with re entry, and any chance that they're going to have of getting in the correct way, the legal way, that's out the window. And it does make our community safer because if you arrest a criminal, illegal alien for violence against citizens, non citizens, anybody in the community, and then that person gets deported, they're not going to be able to revictimize or victimize anybody new So it does make the community safer. So those are the receipts there for the quotes that I attributed to him, because they are his quotes. He issued these in press releases. What is a detainer? It is issued by ICE. It serves three key functions. Number one to notify a law enforcement agency that ICE intends to assume custody of an alien in that agency's custody once the alien is no longer subject to the agency's detention. So if you arrest an illegal alien and they're being held on some criminal charge, ICE does come in and just take them and short circuit that criminal process. What ICE does is wait until your process, your criminal process has concluded, and then they go and take the person. The other purpose to request information from the law enforcement agency about an alien's impending release. So this way ICE can assume custody in a safe environment before the alien is released from the law enforcement agency's custody. What Gary McFadden is doing via policy is exactly what that judge did up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, aiding and abetting the flight of a wanted illegal alien, a criminal illegal alien. Just the only difference is that the judge up there, you know, said hey, follow me out this door, and you know, successfully got one guy out of the building. McFadden is doing it via policy where he can release dozens, hundreds, who knows however many law enforcement pick up. It's the same thing. The other key function, it's a request that the law enforcement agency maintain custody of that alien. For a period not to exceed forty eight hours beyond when he or she would otherwise have been released. This way, it gives Ice some time to assume custody, to get over there, get the personnel, get the transport vehicle, get there and pick them up. But the thing is, it's a request, and McFadden has been denying those requests. Why well, see his previous statement. He does not believe that simply deporting individuals is an effective solution, nor does he believe it makes the community safer. That's why he won't cooperate. And by the way, he always relies on this language about a judicial warrant. It's got to be signed by a judicial official. And he knows damn well that these are administrative warrants. The detainer is administrative, it's not criminal because these it comes out of the civil law. But the courts all the way up to the Supreme Court have ruled that these are legitimate warrants. And so he's playing off of this this wording. Oh, it's not from a judge. It has to be from a judge. But meanwhile, you got the guy a Brago Garcia, the one that got shipped off to l Salvador, and they were like, no due process. He didn't have due process. Well, he had two immigration judges that ordered him deported to which he, by the way, agreed as long as he didn't get sent to l Salvador, and that was the mess up. But he was ordered deported by judges. So even then, when you get your due process, it's still not enough. Why because they don't want anybody deported. Like this is the point. All of these arguments are just window dressing, all right. So spring is here a time of renewal and celebrations. You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries and the special days for mom and dad.

This from D. S. Stewart, who says it is not about crime in my view, it's about illegals being counted in the census, thus more seats and more power in Congress. Yes, I have covered this angle to it as well. You count all non citizens as part of the census, but then they don't get to vote, and so that's like best of both worlds for Democrats. You get to maintain your district size and keep your district seats and such. In states that are losing native born citizen populations California, New York come to mind, so if you keep piling more and more people in there, you get to keep counting those bodies towards your towards the census, which is used to apportion the House seats in the United States House are representatives, and then they don't get to vote. That's perfect right. I could represent eight hundred fifty thousand people, but you know, only like half of them can actually vote me out. That's wonderful. This legislation in the North Carolina House that just passed goes over to the Senate. Now Senate has its own version, so we'll see what the Senate does. I'm calling it Gary's Law. The House Speaker Destin Hall is the primary sponsor. He said. We have seen example after example of sheriffs in North Carolina, including Mecklenburg Sheriff Gary not my fault Macfadden, ignoring the detainer requests from ICE and releasing illegal aliens charged with serious crimes who bonded out or were just released. Probably the most famous example happened in Mecklinbrook County a few years. It's really what brought all of this top of mind to the folks in our state. Where a person had been charged with domestic violence related defenses against a victim and they were arrested for those things. The sheriff then received the I detainer but ignored it let that person walk out. That person went right back committed another offense against that same victim, this time in order to arrest them, CMPD had to essentially do a nine hour standoff with that person. And that's one example. One example. He said, up until twenty eighteen, every sheriff in the state of North Carolina cooperated with ICE and so we didn't need a law. But after twenty eighteen, something happened. Well, it was the election of the sheriffs in the Democrat primaries in these Democrat controlled counties, Mecklenburg being one, Funcome County, Quentin Miller, he won up there while I was still working up in Asheville, same platform as McFadden, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange County, Wake, Watauga, Chatham, all of them. These are considered to be sanctuary jurisdictions according to the Center for Immigration Statistics, which did a report on these sanctuary jurisdictions that have the most declined ice detainers, and North Carolina ranks five on the list with five hundred and eight declined ice detainers over the course of about two years. And they're all coming from a handful of counties, mainly Mecklenburg, Wake and Durham and Bunkom Destinhall said he has heard criticism about the cost of holding criminal aliens, but he points out, well, what's the cost to that woman who was revictimized in Mecklamburg County in the example he just outlined, what's the cost to her? Does that matter? What was the cost of mobilizing law enforcement to go out and apprehend that Honduran national in Mecklinburg County a couple of years ago. What was the cost of that mobilization and the nine hours stand off? What's the price tag for that? Anybody care? Now? You never hear them arguing about that cost. What about the cost when officers go out to serve warrants in an uncontrolled environment? Yesterday was the one year anniversary of exactly that, where four officers law enforcement agents lost their lives trying to serve a warrant in an uncontrolled environment when they went up to the suspect's house and he opened fire on them and held them at bay for like an hour or so, murdering four officers in the process. Right, That's why ICE doesn't want to do these, uh, these apprehensions in uncontrolled environments, which is obvious to anybody with half, no, a quarter of a functioning brain. If I can take custody of somebody in the jail where I know they do not have a weapon, although Gary's not that great on that record either, but more often than not, let's say, chances are they don't have a weapon on them and they're being released from custody and you are inside a jail. Usually the suspect is in handcuffs, and you don't have to worry. You don't have to worry about them trying to make a break for it because they can't run out of the building. You don't have to worry about them assaulting you because they're wearing handcuffs. Right, You can take custody of them more easily in the controlled environment of a jail or a courthouse. And the story that came out of Milwaukee with the judge ushering the criminal alien out the back door so he can sprint away from Ice agents. They did catch him down the street, But that's just that's a singular example of the everything McFadden has been doing from a policy level, no difference. He's aiding and debetting criminal illegal aliens who want to avoid apprehension and deportation and Destin Hull says, and I hope he is correct that this will fix any of these loopholes, these perceived loopholes at least, and hopefully resolves a pretty dangerous problem that the sheriffs have allowed to fester. They just refuse to cooperate because they voting base demanded it, and they may believe it. They absolutely may believe that deportations will not solve any of the illegal immigration problem. They may actually believe it, but it also plays in the Democrats primary, and that's really what they're about. I suspend. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
