The below is from the Martha Zoller opening monologue to start the week on Monday, Nov. 13, 2023. I say again: I get the impression she pushes amnesty and inaccurate related “facts” to her listeners pretty much every day. We’ll get to this when time allows, but part of the recurring theme seems to be if an illegal alien obtains an ITIN he should be rewarded with amnesty. SMH

Good news! Martha didn’t push her mindless defense of Gov. Brian Kemp today that goes like this: “He had to change his tactics” and refuse to honor his 2018 pledge to enforce anti-sanctuary city laws in Georgia, to create a public database of what he referred to as criminal illegals” and to send legislation to the general assembly that he labeled “the Kemp Track and Deport Plan.” So, that’s something, eh?

Amnesty supporter Martha Zoller:

… now. So, as I’ve said before, you know, I get criticized for it ’cause there’s some hardliners out there, but as I’ve said before, there is a complica- it is a complicated issue, but it’s not that complicated to solve. The first thing you gotta do now on the northern and the southern border, because there’s a big problem on the northern border now, a 500% increase in people crossing on the northern border. There’s bigger challenges because when you cross in cold weather, and there’s a lot of people that somehow have gotten to Canada that are not Canadians that are coming across this border. So you’ve got to secure the border, you’ve got to use troops if you have to. You’ve gotta build a wall where it makes sense to build a wall. But the whole concept of building a wall was never gonna be, you built a 2,000-mile wall on both on the north and south of the border.

It always depended upon terrain, and geography, and where it could be built, okay. So, you know, what’s co- the goal is to drive people to the legal points of entry so that they have to do the things that people do to come in legally or be turned away. So that’s gotta be done first. Then you’ve got the people on… there’s an app for that, you know, that have signed up that we pretty much know where they are. Need to round those folks up and get them outta here because they’re not all asylum seekers, seekers. We’ve probably already let terrorists in. We probably have, I hate to be so negative about that. I got an email saying, “Martha, don’t say that because it’ll scare people.” Well, I’m scared, okay. I’m not changing the way I live my life, but I am aware that there’s probably cells of, of Hamas or Hezbollah in the United States right now, um, think that’s true.

Then I hope people would look at the RAISE Act, uh, which deals with the legal immigration issue, uh, because there are H-1B, H-1A  (Note from D.A.: the H-1A nurse program, enacted by the Nursing Relief Act of 1989, expired on September 1, 1995.^[4][5] The last H-1A visas were issued in Fiscal Year 2000.^[6]  – here.) visa holders that are waiting for green cards, they’re waiting longer than what they would normally have to wait. And, uh, because of that, uh, they have lots of limitations on them. Their spouses can’t work. There’s other things, but these are people that wanna stay in the United States. They filed the paperwork, they’ve done the process, they’ve done their time. The big challenge is w- if they… As they wait for the green card, is it’s their employer that’s implied for the green card. So their employer, they kind of are indentured servants. They can’t change jobs. So that’s a big problem that could be fixed through the RAISE Act that was introduced by Senator Perdue.

Then we’ve got to have more pressure on employers so that they don’t have incentives to hire illegal immigrants. There ought to be E-Verify everywhere. There’s supposed to be E-Verify everywhere, but there are some places where they’re not. We need to make sure that employers have more penalties for hiring illegal immigrants, that will stem the tide if there’s not work. Um, but then ultimately, what we’re gonna have to do is there’s a whole group of people that have been here a long time that have different levels of, of situation. And again, you know, I don’t know if it’s 20 years Newt Gingrich talked about 25 years, 20 years, 10 years, 15 years. I don’t know what it is. That’s for other people to decide, that if you have lived here X period of time, you have not interacted with law in other ways, and you have followed certain… It ought to be taken on a family by family basis and looked at.

There’s also a group of people. I mean, I know this is complicated. I’m making y’all… I’m, I’m sure you’re head splitting around like Linda Blair, but you’ve got also a group of people that have gone and gotten tax ID numbers and they’re filing taxes every year. Those folks… I mean, I think they ought to be put at the front of the line because they’re, they’re paying taxes even though they could get away with not paying taxes, that shows they wanna be a part of the country. So I don’t think there’s one answer to this. I do think it’s complicated, and I am a Conservative, I am a no illegal immigration person, but you also have to know, you know, you’re dealing with people here that are in different situations.

Let’s just… For example, a person that I helped at one point in time, because I didn’t know she was an illegal immigrant, but she finally confessed to me that she was, and she had come in on a false document, but since she had come into the United States, she had married, been married for 13 years to an American, and she had two children. She had, uh, documentation that when she paid for it… she was a Venezuelan at that time, this is 25 years ago, she paid $3,500 for this document. So she thought it was a legal document. In her mind, I’m paying money, I’m getting this document back, it must be legal.

She noticed that the name was spelled wrong, and when she asked about it, they said, “Oh, don’t worry. It’s fine. It’s fine.” So she came in on a false document, and she’s been working, she’s been doing things. Um, and you know, I told her, “I cannot help you except for to say I know you to be a good worker because you’re here illegally, and I don’t want you to be taken away from your children.” But there’s a, there’s a situation here. So finally, you know, an immigration lawyer was able to help her and she was able to stay with her family. And I think that that was a good end to that situation.

But I think that right now that’s what we’re having all around the country is there are people that are intentionally breaking our laws in coming in. There are people that are being taken advantage of by the cartels, and there are people that are in 21st century slavery because they owe money to the cartels, and they can’t pay it back. And so because of that, they’re in a big situation where they’re just being trafficked, either labor trafficking or sex trafficking, and we need to stand up against all of that and we’re gonna need a president that understands how to put this process back together.

And you know what, there’s a couple of people on the Republican side that have done it. I think Nikki Haley could do it. I think Donald Trump could do it. I think Donald Trump did do it. So I think it’ll be a big issue in this next election. We’ll be back on the Martha Zoller Show.

Martha Zoller radio show, Nov 8, 2023 – about 10:27 – ish.

Martha felt it necessary to talk on-air about my attention to her now blatantly dishonest and mindless defense of Gov.Kemp on his defiance of his 2018 campaign promises again today and repeat her support for another amnesty for illegals. I was not listening closely and was only able to record a short part of Martha’s latest. I report the rest from notes made while she was speaking and memory after she finished.

• Related reading: “In which Martha Zoller moves from ‘spin’ to dishonest, protective omissions on Brian Kemp – with another version of her push for amnesty-again.”

 

If indeed Martha wants her positions well-known, she really needs to arrange a podcast of her entire show each day. Erickson does.

My scribbled notes (no quote marks on the parts I am not sure of) before the recording started I guess about 30 seconds) with the transcript and audio of the rest below that.

On “…D.A. King,” I gather sometimes speaking directly to me (?): “Hardline…”, :…living in the past… “I know he loves me…” that’s why he posts so often, stays on me…makes those posts… every day?  He feels like he has been…

Transcript from recording below – audio below that.

Martha Zoller:

“… talking about any of you, that are one or two people, that live, eat, and breathe that issue. I understand why you’re there, and I understand why you feel betrayed, because it seems like you give and you give and you give flexibility, and you never get any of the things that you’ve been trying to get. And you feel betrayed by politicians, and I get that. What I want… You know, and I know, you know, people think that my explanation of what happened, um, is lacking, because I see what you post, but you know what? It doesn’t bother me, because I think if anybody goes back and listens to the explanations that I’ve given, if anything, I’ve taken it into consideration too much all the sides of the issue.

And I… I give myself that problem, okay? I see ’em… Uh, sympathetic is not the word, but I acknowledge that my point of view is not the only point of view. I think I’m right, okay? I think I’ve done the reading, the research, the… All of that, to be right. But I also understand it takes time to get there, and that what we need to do is find the places where we overlap. Find the places where we agree, and act on those, then we can actually get things done, okay? So that’s… That’s all I’m looking for. I am looking for leadership, I am looking for getting things done, and I am looking for a good life for the American people. We’ll be back.”

 

 

 

 

 

• UPDATE, May 6, 2024: As we feared, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones put SB 354 on the Senate floor after being educated from here on the fact that it dismantled the existing process that requires the verification of lawful presence for applicants for covered occupational licenses. According to Gov. Kemp’s website, SB 354 was a a “high priority” for Lt. Gov. Jones. Kemp signed SB 354 into law on May 2. Readers can catch up on SB 354 here.

 

“I think right now, we’ve got more laws on the books than we can enforce, and I think this ought to be a good time, now more than ever, to, uh, show that we are really conservatives, and we are really about small government, and that’s about, uh, repealing useless pieces of legislation, things of that nature.” – Lt Gov Burt Jones

Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones was a guest on the Martha Zoller radio show, Nov.6, 2023 to talk about his rollout of the effort to reduce regulation and make businesses more efficient. He calls it the “Red Tape Rollback initiative.”

• Note: We hope and trust that the Lt. Gov will not help pass the sure-to-come efforts to dismantle laws that we fought hard to put in place to deter illegal employment and illegal immigration – like OCGA 50-36-1 as an example. And we are happy to hear about concerns with public safety. Maybe this means there will be a focus on strengthening and beginning to enforce our anti-sanctuary city laws. Because we now have sanctuary counties.

Martha Zoller:

It is the Martha Zoller show. We’re gonna continue our discussion on what is happening in Israel with Hamas and all of that, but we’re gonna bring it back closer to home right now, because the best thing we can do, as Americans, as Georgians, is to do the best we can with what we have here in this country. Uh, there are a lot of things that are out of our control, and I know that that is frustrating to people.

And joining me right now is Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, who has been working hard in the off session, uh, on kind of letting people know what his plans are gonna be going forward into the next legislative session. Uh, Lieutenant Governor Jones, thank you for being with me today.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Hey, Martha. Good to be with you. Hope you’re doing well this morning-

Martha Zoller:

Thank-

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

… and thank you for having me on.

Martha Zoller:

Sure thing. Tell us about this red tape rollback initiative and what it’s going to do.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Yeah. I mean, it’s a pretty simple concept. We always talk about being conservative, uh, Republicans and have less government and things of that nature. But you know, every year, ever since I’ve been up in the legislature, we always pass more and more bills, more and more legislative, uh, that people have to, uh, abide by either, either from a business standpoint or individually.

And I said, “You know what? The second half of the biennial, uh, why don’t we, uh, start, uh, taking some, some, uh, legislation off the books and useless, uh, uh, regulations and things of that nature?”

Uh, because I think right now, we’ve got more laws on the books than we can enforce, and I think this ought to be a good time, now more than ever, to, uh, show that we are really conservatives, and we are really about small government, and that’s about, uh, repealing useless pieces of legislation, things of that nature.

And, uh, it’s gonna range from, I, I gave the Senators a, uh, I gave ’em kind of free, free fall, just told ’em to, you know, “Bring to us what you think, uh, uh, in, in your area doesn’t, doesn’t warrant, uh, uh, being on the books, and we’ll look at it and talk, uh, look at [inaudible 00:02:00] repealing it, uh, this upcoming session.”

Martha Zoller:

You know, in Texas, they do two-year budgets, and in the off year, they do oversight. They just, they go basically through the budget looking th- for problems like you’re talking about.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Mm-hmm.

Martha Zoller:

Senator Isakson, before his death, he had introduced that a number of times in, um, the United States Senate on the federal level. And you know, I don’t, it’s not, it didn’t go anywhere. But you know, it’s not a bad idea, and we used to, a long time ago, have this thing where e- a department a year went through kind of an up and down view of almost every line in their budget. So I love this idea of looking for where we’ve overlapped, looking for regulations, all of that sort of thing, because there are some tools in place that we could use that would really make us more efficient.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Oh, no question. Yeah. Looking at agencies and duplication of services and things of that nature [inaudible 00:02:55] definitely s- something that I’m glad you told me that, uh, Johnny Isakson, that was his i- his idea at the federal level, because you know, I’ve always, uh, admired, uh, his service to our state and everything.

And, and, uh, you know, and it does. It needs to be looked at every, uh, um, o- occasionally, you know. What are we doing? How can we, uh, serve the people of Georgia better, uh, whether it be through, uh, eliminating some regulatory things that are not needed, duplication of services and things of that nature?

And I, I figured there’s no better time than the second half of a biennial, when a lot of people are looking at their reelections and things of that nature, um, that it, it’d be nice for ’em to be able to go home and, and tell people, “Instead of, instead of more restraints that we’ve put on, uh, citizens, there, here’s some of the things that we did to, uh, to alleviate some of the burdens that we might have and, uh, whether it be an interpersonal level or business level or whatever.” So we’re excited about it and, uh, I appreciate you having me on to showcase it.

Martha Zoller:

Well, one of the things you’re also looking at is expanding the definition of small business. And we know that most Georgians work for what’s defined as a small business. So how would that help? And how would that work?

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Well, you know, I mean, yeah. I don’t know how, how you can, uh, you know, I, I consider, uh, my business a small business, you know, but I, but some people might not, uh, consider that.

But I will say this, uh, because the things that, um, when, when companies are trying to get permitting or, and, and things of that nature, either at the local level or through Secretary of State’s Office, uh, th- they need to, I always tell people, “There needs to be a, some sort of a timeframe in which they know that they can, uh, expect a result.”

You know, and, uh, so many times, I see businesses held up, uh, by either local, uh, permitting processes or engineering processes, things of that nature, or the Secretary of State’s level, where they’re just trying to get somebody to call ’em back and, and, and issue a, a renewal license, things of that nature.

So we’re, we’re gonna look at all those things and see what, what we can do better. Uh, there’s always places that we can improve. And, um, and, uh, and so that’s what, that’s what the nature of this exercise is and the, and the upcoming session is gonna be about.

Martha Zoller:

So school safety, I know, is something you’re focusing on, you talked about last week.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Sure.

Martha Zoller:

And, um, uh, I’m on the State Board of Education and, and I, you know, it’s something we think about. And I will tell you, too, that Will Schofield, who’s the longest serving superintendent in the state of Georgia, he, he’s the superintendent for Hall County, one of the things he’s doing is he says, “If you look at school shootings, it’s usually somebody we know. It’s somebody who was-“

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Mm-hmm.

Martha Zoller:

“… affiliated with our school, maybe went to our school, worked at our school.” G- Generally, it’s not-

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Sure.

Martha Zoller:

… some random person that just comes into the school. And what they’re doing is, um, teaching, from teachers all the way down to students, how to interact, how to deal with difficult situations, how to, how to deal with their feelings and all of that kind of stuff. So he’s all for hardening schools and doing those ki- things, but he’s making huge, uh, progress in lowering the level of violence in the schools in Hall County across the board by teaching these skills. And I think that’s something worth looking at.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Mm-hmm. No. I’d definitely love to speak with him about that, Martha. Maybe you could fac- can facilitate that [inaudible 00:06:15].

Martha Zoller:

I would absolutely do that. (laughs)

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

What, what we, uh, what we rolled out, uh, it was a grant program that, it really got misconstrued, misrepresented-

Martha Zoller:

I agree. Yeah.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

… in the media is, uh, is i- it was, it was basically a grant program for those school systems’ school boards that would want to participate, uh, and, and they could use dollars to, uh, to beef up security, to hire off-duty police officers, things of that nature.

And, uh, and also, if, if they so choose, they could, they could have a staff member, uh, who would be, um, uh, if, if gone through the proper training, could, training, could be, also serve as the on-staff, uh, security [inaudible 00:06:54] as well. But of course, you know, the, the liberal media blew it up as if we were trying to arm every schoolteacher.

And at the end of the day, we’re not taking anything away from the local school boards and what their abilities are, uh, in governing, uh, school systems. All we were trying to do is for those systems that really can’t afford, uh, to be able to have, uh, extra security, law enforcement agencies on, on the staff, uh, then they would be able to be given a, a grant that could potentially help ’em do that.

So, um, but I love your concept about what your Hall County Superintendent’s doing and would love to… All, all we’re trying to do is find the best way possible that we can ensure that our schools are safe, our kids and our teachers are safe. And, and we’re gonna explore every option, uh, there is out there to do so.

Martha Zoller:

Absolutely. So tell us a little more about what you’re working on for this next session, because I know we’re, we’re in the throes of hearings and study groups and all that kind of stuff. What’s on your radar?

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Uh, I know. I know. Well, you know, well, well, we’ve got a special session coming up, obviously, with the, um, you know, having to look at the maps that a judge, uh, you know, ruled, uh, against the maps we’d drawn, so we’re gonna have to do that here in a couple weeks right after, um, Thanksgiving, I guess.

But, uh, you know, this coming session, it’s gonna be a lot like sessions in the past. We’re gonna look at, uh, you know, how we can, uh, continue to make, uh, the, um, uh, Georgia economy one of the best and the state to do business in.

We’re gonna look at how we can improve our K-12 education. I’m a big proponent of, of, uh, of the school choice measure that we put forth this past year.

And obviously, public safety is a huge, a huge thing every year. And we’re gonna continue to do things to see how we can la- help local and state governments with, uh, public safety.

And, and, uh, and so, um, you know, those are all, those are all a- all measures that are, that are, um, that are at the legislature every, every session. And we’ll, we’ll continue to look at how we can best put our, put our spin and touches on the, on the whatever the final p- product looks like at the end of the session.

Martha Zoller:

If people need to interact with your office, uh, Lieutenant Governor, how can they do that?

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Oh, yeah. They can go to, uh, Burt, uh, Jones for GA, burtjonesforga.com, uh, or they can, uh, go to lieutenant governor for Jones, uh, for, on the, uh, official side, luca- luca- lieutenantgovernorburtjones.com on the official side. And, and, uh, and we’re one of those, um, Martha, we’re one of those that we aim to please. We’ve got a great, uh, customer service or public relations, uh, team that ne- any time somebody has an issue, they can give us a call. We’ll be happy to, uh, uh, try to, try to best assist ’em in whatever their issues are.

Martha Zoller:

Yeah. I mean, I’m getting great feedback on your constituent services through your office, so I wanted to make sure people knew how they could do that.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

Sure. Absolutely. Well, I appreciate you having me on today, Martha.

Martha Zoller:

Thanks.

GA Lt. Gov Burt Jones:

And always a, always a pleasure to be with you.

Martha Zoller:

Thank you so much. Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, about his rollout of trying to reduce regulation and make businesses more efficient. This is one of the things he promised to voters when he was elected, and it’s one of the things he’s, he is trying to do now. We’ll be back on the Martha Zoller show.

Our email today brought a response (below) from U.S. Senator John Ossoff to an email I sent to his office about illegal immigration, temporary visas and the open borders operated by the Democrats. In it, Sen. Ossoff explains to me that “millions of hardworking immigrants across America meet critical needs in our economy through temporary work visas.”

No, they don’t.

Temporary work visas are nonimmigrant visas and they only go to nonimmigrants. Including illegal aliens and temporary visa holders, nonimmigrants are not immigrants. Unless they violate the terms of their permanent residence status, immigrants have  green cards.

To help Sen Ossoff, his staff, agenda-driven, liberal newspaper editors and the rest of the left, we post some easily accessed information below on the difference between immigrants and non-immigrants with links to the sources. Ugh.

• “immigrant”:  Any person lawfully in the United States who is not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or person admitted under a nonimmigrant category as defined by the Immigrant visas are issued to foreign nationals who intend to live permanently in the United States. Nonimmigrant visas are for foreign nationals wishing to enter the United States on a temporary basis – for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, study, or other similar reasons.  dhs.gov

• Nonimmigrant vs. Immigrant Status 

Nonimmigrant status

This status is for people who enter the U.S. on a temporary basis – whether for tourism, business, temporary work, or study. Once a person has entered the U.S. in nonimmigrant status, they are restricted to the activity or reason for which they were allowed entry. Some people may have more than one visa in their passport, but they can only be admitted into the U.S. in one type of nonimmigrant status at a time.  Most nonimmigrant visas are issued only to applicants who can demonstrate their intentions to return to their home country.

If a visa officer at a U.S. consulate abroad believes that an application for a nonimmigrant visa is only a pretext for an intent to stay permanently once allowed into the U.S., the officer may deny the visa application. The consular officer may conclude that the nonimmigrant does not have the intent to stay temporarily because s/he cannot show significant family or employment related ties to their country of origin.

Immigrant Status

This is for people who live permanently in the United States.  Synonymous terms for immigrant status are: Permanent Resident, immigrant, green card holder, and resident alien. Gaining immigrant status can be a lengthy and complex process that requires close consultation with an immigration attorney. UC Berkley

immigrant:  Any person lawfully in the United States who is not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or person admitted under a nonimmigrant category as defined by the INA Section 101(a)(15). U.S. Department of Homeland Security

 

 

 

 

 

 

Martha was talking about immigration amnesty again when I tuned in for about 20 minutes today. She must do it a lot. Here is what I heard when I listened in Tuesday.

Apparently Martha has changed her mind again. Two days ago her amnesty eligibility period for illegal aliens who have escaped law enforcement was for  20 years. Now her amnesty eligibility is after 25 years and on a “case-by-case” basis. It’s very Newt-ish.

 

 

• “In the Reagan Library debate in September (2011), Speaker (Newt) Gingrich admitted he favored a path other than enforcing existing law regarding illegal immigrants:

“…find a way to deal with folks who are already here, some of whom, frankly, have been here 25 years, are married with kids, live in our local neighborhood, go to our church. It’s got to be done in a much more humane way than thinking that to automatically deport millions of people.” (“2012 Republican Presidential Candidates Debate,” NBC, transcript: www.nytimes.com, 11/7/2011)  – Here, from The American Presidency Project.

• We point out, yet again, that we do not need to deport millions of people all at once and that the concept of Attrition Through Enforcement is the answer to this intentional “hide-the-workable-solution” hustle. Martha knows this.
• And we note again that it is impossible for an “undocumented worker” to be in the U.S. and not violate American law “other than coming here illegally.” As we have been saying, the use of a false Social Security Number or card is a felony, punishable by a fine, and up to five years in prison.The below is transcribed (Rev.com) from the closing minutes of The Martha Zoller radio show, WDEN radio, Oct. 26, 2023 Audio above.My cost $24.00 and about 2 hours.

Scroll down to around the red arrow.

 

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

… like, and again, I have only known Mike Johnson for like, three days. I mean, I really didn’t know who he was.

Speaker 2 ( I think his name is “Rod” and is sometimes a c0-host?):

Yeah-

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

I want to know, is he a happy warrior? He sounds like a happy warrior. You know, that-

Speaker 2:

I was a happy warrior.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Meaning that he can be tough and firm, but he’s not-

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

… difficult. Like Regan. Regan was a happy warrior. People liked being around him, even though he was tough in negotiating.

Speaker 2:

Well, we about to find out.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

You know, Mike Collins said it the other day. You need to be liked, and you need to be trusted.

Speaker 2:

That makes sense.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

To be a good leader. It’s true.

Speaker 2:

It’s huge.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Liked-

Speaker 2:

Absolutely true.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

… and trusted.

Speaker 2:

But, you need to also have that third component. I can- I can bear not being liked, as long as I stay honest in, uh, following the truth.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

No, it’s true. It’s absolutely true. But that’ll make people like you. If they know, over time they’re gonna get the truth from you. You can-

Speaker 2:

I like that.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

You can join us on the phones at 770-535-2911. My friend Frank, uh, sent me this, uh, video to watch, and he said, uh, “I know you don’t like Matt Gates, and so, I don’t know if you’re gonna watch this.” And I did watch as much of it as I could stand, um, because I don’t like Matt Gates. I think Matt Gates is trying to play this as if he intended for Mike Johnson to be the Speaker all along-

Speaker 2:

(laughs)

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

… and that it was all because of him and the other seven, that got rid of Kevin McCarthy, that they got Mike Johnson. That’s not true. Okay? And look, Steve Bannon-

Speaker 2:

… Well, trust me, it is.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Steve Bannon was in this video too, and I know Steve Bannon also. And you know, I don’t dislike Steve Bannon, but the two of them together will- making me nauseous.

Speaker 2:

Uh-huh.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

And I just think that he’s not- Steve Bannon is more trustworthy than Matt Gates, and that’s saying a lot. Let’s go to the phones now and talk to Elizabeth in Gainesville. Hey, Elizabeth, how you doing?

Elizabeth in Gainesville:

I’m doing good, ab- good Martha, and good [inaudible 00:02:06].

Speaker 4:

Hello.

Elizabeth in Gainesville:

Um, thank- yes, y’all are- y’all are wonderful, I love you.

Speaker 4:

Thank you.

Elizabeth in Gainesville:

And I- I just wanted, my comment is, is that Joe Biden is a puppet, he’s a globalist, [inaudible 00:02:21] loves him, and he’s doing what the globalists want him to. To downgrade the United States and get us to the point we’re no longer a superpower, and that’s what the border is all about. The border is about flooding us with all kinds of bad things, with drugs, and with the expense of all these people coming in, it’s not sustainable. That’s what I think is going on, and, um, he’s a puppet, Joe Biden is a puppet, because he’s always got this plausible deniability of, “Well, you know, he’s mentally slipping, and maybe he doesn’t mean it,” and all this kind of stuff. That’s just plausible deniability, he’s a great puppet, and he’s exactly who the globalists want. At this time, I’ll hang up and listen to your response.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Well, thank you very much. Um, you know, one of the questions that I got, um, related to, uh, the last visit that we had from Senator Ossoff, and I’m trying to find the answers, because, you know, I- I finally did get some answers from Senator Ossoff, um, uh, office, related to these questions. Here we go. I just want to be sure we get all of ’em in here. Um, we had three questions, and one of ’em was about the border, and I want to get to this so that I get the right answer.

Um, he said, “The border is a real problem.” I asked if he was gonna sponsor the House Bill 2A, House Resolution 2A. “The border is a real problem. The disorderly flow of migrants is a national security risk. There are a few Democrats who don’t seem to recognize that, and there are a few Republicans who don’t seem to recognize that trying to deport millions of undocumented people who are already here is a non-starter. I just helped move a bill through the Senate Homeland Security to add 600 more Border Agents. I’m looking for more solutions. If HR2 heads to the Senate floor, I will study it in detail.”

Now, it’s been passed on the House side, so it could, if you ask for it to go to the Senate floor, it could go to the Senate floor, Senator, uh, Ossoff. But, the thing about not trying- why is it a non-starter to deport undocumented people?

Speaker 4:

Well-

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

That’s what I don’t understand.

Speaker 4:

I kind of wanted to ask the- that, too.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

And I’d like- jump- I’m not gonna jump the gun-

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

No.

Speaker 4:

… because I don’t know.

—> Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

“Yes. Now, I would agree with you, or with him, that I’m a little more like Newt Gingrich, where Newt Gingrich thinks that- that you have to look at families that have been here a long time, even though they’re illegal immigrants, in a little bit of a different way. You need to look at the whole picture. Like, did they come here, did they follow the rules, did they not get in trouble except for coming here illegally? I’m not talking about the last three years. That there are families here that have lived here for 25 years. Their children have been born here.”

Speaker 4:

Right.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Do you deport the parents and keep the children? What do you do? He believes it should be a case-by-case basis, and I sort of am with him, that way, because you want to be compassionate. But this- this flood of the last three years-

Speaker 2:

Bless you.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

... where they’re living on the streets, they’re defecating on the streets, they’re in tents, they’re- they’re taking up hotel rooms, those folks don’t have any ties here.

Speaker 4:

It seem to me, that’s a sneakily way to take-

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Yes.

Speaker 4:

… to start moving. In other words, it’s very simple to me how to start it. I can show ’em.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

I can show ’em.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

You could ship ’em. (laughs)

Speaker 4:

Oh, yeah. I- I could show ’em. Tell them to hire me, I could show ’em. And I’ll do it for the first month for free.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Okay. (laughs) And I think that that’s- we have got to follow the rule of law. If we do not follow the rule of law, which means enforcing the border, we don’t have a country. Let’s go to the phones and talk to Anna in Dahlonega. Hey Anna, how you doing?

Anna in Dahlonega:

I’m doing fine. Um, Judge Napolitano interviewed, um, Douglas MacGregor yesterday, uh, Colonel MacGregor, he should really be General MacGregor, and he says, um, a point of view about this thing going on in the Middle East, that’s worth a listen. Um, and he seemed to be somebody that our great leaders have missed the mark on. They should have taken him to be the, uh, Secretary of Defense, um, Secretary of State. When you listen to him, uh, it’s incredible. It’s- it’s, uh, you can tell that he really knows what he’s talking about.

As far as the Border Agents are concerned, I think the days of the Border Agents have ceased. It’s time to get the military down there, and get real. As far as the, uh, Senate, and not so much the Senate [inaudible 00:07:14], but the Senate, because they’re getting what they want. The Senate and the House of Representatives, I think Mike Johnson is a good shot in the arm, like you said, if he- you know, if he follows through. But I really think he will. A lot of those dudes down there, I’m watching this, are there for face time. They’re playing. They’re- they want to be, um, they want to be famous-

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

They want to be famous. You- um, Anna, you are so right.

Anna in Dahlonega:

They just want to be famous, and I’m sick of it because they’re on CNN, Fox, um, not new Fox, but CNN, Fox, all the, you know, spaghetti- the spag- spaghetti letters of the net- of the commercial media has really screwed us to the wall, because they are perpetuating information that is not accurate and it is almost bi- borders illegal, the- what- the things they say to us, and unfortunately, it’s really revealing that our educational system has failed us so much. Because you can see it with the kids, the colleges, and they’re not asking any questions.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Anna in Dahlonega:

They’re- they’ve lost their way.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

They’re not learning-

Anna in Dahlonega:

And-

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

… to critically think.

Anna in Dahlonega:

No, they’re not. And they’re not in high school, it starts there. High school is like sixth grade, anymore. You have to go to at least two years, continue education, just to be able to be lucid. Just to be able to sound like you have a brain in your head. This is serious business, because one of the things that, um, Douglas MacGregor told Napolitano, because Napolitano was asking him, “What do you think is gonna happen in the interior of the United States?”

He said, “It’s coming, folks. It’s coming, and we have a very, very large group of people that are very angry with us, and that’s why they’re crossing the border.” Um, it- it’s just got to be fixed, right now. Uh, it can’t be fixed next year, or in the next presidency, if we have to get, uh, the President of the United States out of there, get him out of there, now. And get somebody in there, it- it’s gonna be one of those new things, where, “Oh, we never did this before.” Well, this is the time to do it, because I can’t think of a more critical time to replace this sitting President. That’s all I gotta say. Thanks, Martha.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

Thanks for your call today.

Speaker 4:

I- I- I liked a lot of things that you said, but I want you to think about one thing. I want you to think about one thing. If we move off emotional, as of right now, and we do the latter, how- that would put us in a better position, but it’ll put us in a tougher position. What do I mean by that? We need him to finish out his term, lucid. Understa- in a- in a clear manner, and then, make that, uh, big change or transition.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

So, a couple of things. Um, there’s a- there’s a-

Speaker 4:

But that’s gonna take prayer.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

It will. That’s- there’s a thing called the posse comitatus, which means you can’t have the military in a state unless they’re invited in. And, um, I think all the border states would invite the military in to help them on the border. There are many National Guards from states around the country that are helping now. So I think that’s a good point that you brought up-

Speaker 2:

Oh, I do, too.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

And as far as them wanting to be famous, you’re right. For- for-

Speaker 2:

Yeah. [inaudible 00:11:00].

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

We used to- we used to jokingly call politics show business for ugly people, because- because you know, that’s really why they want to do- they wanted their 15 minutes of fame. And now you’ve got social media that is- that is- that, you know-

Speaker 2:

And they get 24 hours of fame.

Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:

They get 24 hours of fame, that’s right. So, ca- a lot of good points there, appreciate your call today. We’ll take a break, and then we’ll take you up to the top of the hour. (end of topic).
