Speaker 4 All hell is breaking loose in North Carolina as Donald Trump unleashes his ICE forces and Border Patrol militarized forces into North Carolina, specifically Mecklenburg County and the surrounding areas.

Speaker 4 War is being declared on this area in another show of force, like we've seen in Chicago and Portland, in Los Angeles, and in other areas.

Speaker 4 You have the Border Patrol head, Greg Bavino, with his army marching through shopping centers, marching into restaurants, ripping innocent people, whether you're a citizen or migrant.

Speaker 4 It doesn't matter. They are brutalizing people.
They are engaging in heinous war tactics. And folks, we have the receipts.
We have the video. We have the photographs.

Speaker 4 Our heart goes out to the people right now in Charlotte, in Mecklenburg County, throughout North Carolina. As you know, I live in Los Angeles.
We're experiencing this invasion here as well.

Speaker 4 Now it's being directed at North Carolina. Here, for example, we see a Charlotte man who was stopped twice by ICE.
The first group checked his ID and let him go.

Speaker 4 Minutes later, another set of agents rolled up, smashed his window, dragged him out, brutalized him, assaulted him. This was a U.S.
citizen, and we've been seeing this with many U.S.

Speaker 4 citizens in the Charlotte area because what ICE is trying to do, what the Border Patrol is trying to do, is to create a situation where they can then send in the National Guard or the Marines and say, we need to invade right now because look what the community is doing.

Speaker 4 This is their tactics. Let me show you what's going down here.
Play this clip.

Speaker 5 You guys again?

Speaker 5 Oh, what the fuck?

Speaker 5 I'm backed up. I'm backed up.

Speaker 5 I'm backed up.

Speaker 5 What happened?

Speaker 5 What happened? Get the fuck out of here, man.

Speaker 5 They just ID'd him.

Speaker 5 They just ID'd him. The other guy, don't you fucking guys coordinate with each other? They just ID'd him.

Speaker 5 They just ID'd him. You broke his fucking windows.
There was another troop that was here and ID'd him already. The fuck is going on?

Speaker 5 Just show him your ID again. This is bullshit.
What the fuck?

Speaker 4 Now here you'll see Greg Bavino, who we saw in Chicago with those gas canisters. He was actually engaged directly himself in the chemical warfare, gassing people in Chicago.

Speaker 4 He's now in North Carolina. He's going through peaceful shopping centers, provoking people in parking lots, by supermarkets, by bakeries.

Speaker 4 These are sick, despicable, vile humans, and the entire community in Charlotte is absolutely livid at what's going on.

Speaker 4 You'll see Bovino himself with his thugs here in this shopping center, this peaceful shopping center. Play this clip.

Speaker 5 Why are y'all doing that? What the fuck, y'all?

Speaker 5 He was ready for ma'am. Yeah, and what was he doing? Obviously, he was actually

Speaker 5 illegal.

Speaker 5 He was what? What? Illegal. How do you know? Exactly.

Speaker 5 Excuse me. How do you know? Exactly.

Speaker 4 He just admitted it.

Speaker 5 That's what we do interviews, ma'am. We do interviews.

Speaker 5 I'm sure. Yeah.
I really have to say that.

Speaker 5 Go ahead and cut.

Speaker 5 Fuck you guys.

Speaker 5 Exactly.

Speaker 5 Fuck you.

Speaker 5 Absolutely. Maybe it'll be safer for you.

Speaker 5 Exactly. I bet you he was grocery shopping.

Speaker 5 Yeah, we do. And you know what? Most of the time, they don't actually do anything at all.

Speaker 4 You'll see over here in a store by another shopping center.

Speaker 4 You know, the people are terrified right now because these masked thugs, these masked gangsters, these Trump Gestapo, in my opinion, no different than the Nazis, are out there in these shopping centers, harassing people, terrorizing people.

Speaker 4 These are terrorists in the street. Donald Trump's thugs.
Donald Trump's terrorists. Here, watch what goes down here.
Play this clip.

Speaker 7 In the name of Jesus.

Speaker 7 In the name of Jesus.

Speaker 7 In the name of Jesus.

Speaker 7 In the name of Jesus. I bind this up in the name of Jesus because they're gonna come up with some demons.

Speaker 5 Exactly.

Speaker 7 In the name of Jesus.

Speaker 7 What is he saying?

Speaker 4 And you'll see in this next clip, ice agents driving around North Carolina,

Speaker 4 landscaping, people who are lawn mowing, you know, people who are doing construction.

Speaker 4 Ice agents, if you have brown skin, they are attacking you right now in North Carolina. And these homeowners in these peaceful communities, like, what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 4 Get the hell off my land, get the hell off my lawn here. Play this clip.

Speaker 4 Get the hell out of my yard, you assholes.

Speaker 4 And let me show you how some people are handling these ice agents. This was captured on tape.

Speaker 4 This is an individual who is taking part in the invasion, and you'll see how pissed off community members are at this person.

Speaker 4 Watch this clip. Let's play it.

Speaker 5 Why are you getting the people, huh? Why are you getting the people? Why am I getting them? Yeah. They're here illegally.
But who fucking builds the fucking places that we live in?

Speaker 5 Or what?

Speaker 5 You think I'm scared of you? Keep it moving. Or what?

Speaker 5 There's a lot more of us coming right now. Good.
Yeah. We'll see what we're about to do right now.

Speaker 5 Hey, you want to check my place?

Speaker 4 I don't got papers. Here's another video from Charlotte, North Carolina, November 15th, 2025.

He is the owner of Manolo's Bakery, a very famous bakery in the Charlotte area.

Speaker 4 He had to close his bakery for the first time in many decades due to the terrorism by the Trump regime.

Speaker 4 The terrorism of the Trump regime made Manolo have to shut down for the very first time in decades. These are terrorists, Trump terrorists.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 I'm getting ready to close my bakery today, man. The amount of fear that we have right now is no good.
It's not worth it to take that risk. We need to protect our families and family separation, man.

Speaker 8 This

Speaker 8 easy, they have taken maybe around 20 people today around each other.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 they have been in a parking lot several times today. So, has it affected your business? Of course, you know, and I'm going to close the doors.

Speaker 4 this next one was also caught by the Charlotte Observer here you'll see and hear from a teen who recalls these border Patrol terrorists invading their Charlotte church.

Speaker 4 They're going into churches and schools and shopping centers to inflict terror on the community. This is what Trump's America looks like, folks.

Speaker 4 It is a terrorist nation led by a terrorist in chief, Donald Trump terrorizing the people. What a sick, sick regime this is.
In churches, in shopping centers, Home Depots, schools.

Speaker 4 What sick humans these are. Here, play this clip.

Speaker 8 So were y'all having church? Yeah, we were cleaning outside and cleaning the grass and everything. And then some guy came running saying that ICE is here.
And then all the people were here.

Speaker 8 They went running. I was running to him, but then I came back and they took somebody, one of the church.
And then I started speaking with the guys.

Speaker 8 Two of the police officers were around me and then I pushed one of them so they can take me and then just went over and then they they just went all the kids were inside crying because they're they they took one of the people one of the dads of them and then one of the

Speaker 8 were right here they they they started screaming everything

Speaker 8 Then some people came to give us food and all that stuff, helping us. Oh, that's sweet.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 10 you were doing yard work?

Speaker 8 Yeah, yard work outside the church.

Speaker 8 How many people would you say were outside?

Speaker 8 Like 15, 20 people.

Speaker 8 And all of them, all of you took off running? Yeah, no, like 10 went running over there, some stayed inside the church.

Speaker 10 So the people that went running, do you know where they are now?

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 8 someone, they went to their home, and some of them are here.

Speaker 8 Someone running over here.

Speaker 8 Was there anything going on inside the church, like a service or anything?

Speaker 8 We just got food and all that stuff. Trying to kill some people.

Speaker 10 So

Speaker 10 did you guys understand that this was going to be happening today?

Speaker 8 That Border Patrol and ICE was going to be out today? Yeah,

Speaker 8 we knew that,

Speaker 8 but we never thought they're going to come here. Because it's a church and that's not correct to ICE came to church.
There's like

Speaker 8 something

Speaker 8 that we didn't didn't expect happen.

Speaker 8 We thought some

Speaker 8 we're gonna be fine here, but they did. Some guy went running and all the police is pop troll and they took one of the guys that we have.
I have pictures. Did you know?

Speaker 8 Because you mentioned, was it one person who was taken? Yeah, one person. Did you know who that was? Yes.

Speaker 8 His name was Carlos. Carlos, his name was Carlos.
And you said that he had children here?

Speaker 8 No, yeah, one

Speaker 8 and yes, his wife.

Speaker 8 So his wife and his kid. Yeah,

Speaker 8 yeah.

Speaker 8 They already left.

Speaker 4 In this other clip here, you'll see some of the tactics being deployed. Let's play it.

Speaker 4 Here's another clip. I'll just show you about eight seconds some of the tactics being deployed.

Speaker 4 Here's how NBC News is reporting it: border patrol operations start in Charlotte as officials urge calm.

Speaker 4 DHS says the surge is meant to target public safety threats, but Charlotte leaders warn the federal operation is heightening fear.

Speaker 4 Yeah, like we've seen them terrorize Portland and Chicago and Los Angeles and New York. We've seen these tactics play out.
Federal agents have started making arrests over the weekend.

Speaker 4 As border patrol deployments began in the city, a shift, the Department of Homeland Security said, was intended to ensure Americans are safe and public safety threats are removed.

Speaker 5 Pause.

Speaker 4 You are the public safety threats. You are the terrorists.
You are the ones terrorizing our street. Get the hell out.
Nobody wants you here. Get the hell out.
Nobody wants you here at all.

Speaker 4 Earlier in the day, local officials sought to reassure residents as the looming operations created anxiety in the region, emphasizing that the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department does not participate in federal immigration enforcement and urging the community to remain peaceful.

Speaker 4 Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden confirmed earlier this week he learned the Border Patrol's plans to operate in the city.

Speaker 4 DHS, which has called the effort Operation Charlotte's Web, said nearly 40, what a stupid Charlotte's Web. That's what it's like dumb people.

Speaker 4 do they're like stupid terrorists said nearly 1400 immigrants and customs enforcement detainers across North Carolina have not been honored, meaning those individuals were released back onto North.

Speaker 4 Operation Charlotte's Web, everybody.

Speaker 4 Okay, Operation Charlotte's Web. By the way, while they're engaged in these terroristic tactics, North Carolina farmers are having their lives destroyed by Trump's tariffs.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 6 Farmers say their businesses have been taking a hit on these ongoing trade wars, and W.R.L.'s Flynn Snyder spoke with one of them who says the volatility is putting his crops at risk.

Speaker 6 My great-grandfather bought land across Roden Lake. For more than a century, Pender Sharp's family has called this Wilson County farm home.
This is my wife, my livelihood. I'm 74 years old.

Speaker 6 I'm on this farm every morning at 6:30. Sharp fears those early mornings could soon be a thing of the past.

Speaker 6 He says the trade war and President Donald Trump's tariffs are threatening his crops and profits.

Speaker 6 Our tobacco that we're selling is bringing, in some cases, 75 cents a pound less than it did last year when China was buying. China's not in our market because of tariffs now.

Speaker 6 Sharp and other farmers voiced their concerns to Democratic Senate hopeful Rory Cooper at a campaign event.

Speaker 6 The former governor was pressed about how he would fix the issue, even if the GOP keeps Senate control in 2026.

Speaker 6 The first thing we have to do is to get back this tariff authority that the Constitution gives to the legislative branch to go back to working on trade

Speaker 6 that really work.

Speaker 4 You have North Carolina solar plants closing and having to cut jobs amid bankruptcy because Donald Trump is destroying solar and wind.

Speaker 4 But then you have Michael Watley, the MAGA Republican Senate candidate, says he loves the tariffs that are destroying people's livelihoods in North Carolina. Here, let's play this clip right now.

Speaker 11 You know, President Trump is fighting very hard for a trade and tariff policy that is going to work for North Carolina manufacturers, North Carolina farms, North Carolina small businesses.

Speaker 11 I support that agenda wholeheartedly because we need a international regime that is going to allow North Carolina businesses to succeed.

Speaker 4 So I don't think it should be a surprise right now that the Democratic senator, that the Democratic Senate candidate, former governor Roy Cooper is leading significantly over Michael Watley, who you just heard from there.

Speaker 4 Let me know what you think, folks.
