SPEAKER 09 :
Do they want to have hearings on Big Bird and Ernie? All of the alleged waste and fraud and abuse that Mr. Musk is finding with his untutored, unvetted, juvenile computer hacker crew? Come on! Let’s show some institutional self-respect. This is the Congress of the United States. We’re not delegating our power to Elon Musk or anybody else.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, so it’s not about that. That’s what’s so damn stupid about this. And I honestly, I’m so done with these people running their mouths, doing the same thing that they’ve done for… I don’t know how many years. I just really don’t. Welcome to the program, Dana Lash, with you. The funny thing about all of this is, and that’s Jamie Raskin, by the way, who’s losing his ever-loving mind about this stuff. And they keep acting like… You know, this is just… It’s unprecedented. That’s the way… Isn’t that kind of like what you’re getting out of this? Like, oh, it’s so unprecedented. You know, this stuff that you’re seeing with Doge. It’s so… I don’t… I did a lot of reading last night. There were several things that I was reading. Like, I’m reading up… One of the things that we’re talking about today, and I’m going to get into it, is the inflation issue. And if there’s anything that’s going to threaten… Republican influence and authority. It is the issue of inflation. And we’re going to talk about how they have got to get a handle on this. And I know it’s not their fault because it was Biden. However, you guys got to remember the psychology of the voter. And the psychology of the voter is what? I’ve said this before. It’s always what have you done for me lately? That’s always the big thing. They act like this is so unbelievably unprecedented, and it’s not. Do you realize why Trump has been able to do what he’s done in terms of structuring Doge the way that he has as a part of the executive? Because there is a precedence on that that has… enabled Trump to do what he’s done going forward. And I gotta be honest, I’m kind of shocked because it feels like some people don’t remember. This is the problem with the stuff that Democrats do. They do these things and then they’re out of power and then Republicans find the things that the Democrats have done that have enabled them to do some pretty shady stuff. And then Republicans are like, you know what? You opened this Pandora’s box. So we’re going to we’re going to use these tools that you have established for us. We’re going to use these tools. And that’s exactly ultimately what has happened with Doge. That’s been the I mean, Democrats really have nobody to blame but themselves on this stuff. One of the things, and like I said, we’ve covered this. We’ve covered some of the shenanigans from Democrat… I don’t know how long. I mean, it’s been since 2008 that we’ve been doing this and covering this. And there are times when Democrats do things, and you’ve heard me say it on the show before, and I’m like, are you guys really wanting to do that? Because you’re just opening the door. You’re opening a Pandora’s box of insanity that’s going to be used against you. Not even insanity. I mean, they just, you know, they’ve allowed it to happen. So… Case in point on this, this issue of whether or not Elon Musk is able to do what he’s done was already established. I mean, this was established back in 2014. I had a piece on this that I wrote on my website, and it’s kind of… archived now so a lot of the imagery is gone but this was back in 2014 because that’s when obama and democrats they decided to create this like digital surface thing Office of Digital Service, and it was something structured specifically within the office of the executive, meaning that it fell under the purview of the executive, right? I mean, you can go and you can look at the Digital Service Act, you can look at all of that, and it created this, I don’t know, this like a little bureaucracy within the executive office, right? So fast forward, that was in August of 2014. In December, Democrats decided that they were going to alter, they were going to modify to make it to where government employees would be used to work with Barack Obama in terms of implementing U.S. aid priorities, for the lack of a better way to put it. So just to recap, Barack Obama created this whole digital service thing and established the precedent for creating this office within the executive branch to go and do some of the stuff that he wanted to do, right? Now, I’m curious before I go any further, do you guys remember any protests at all whatsoever about any of this when Barack Obama did it. You don’t remember any at all whatsoever weeping and gnashing of the teeth when Barack Obama had created this Office of Digital Service, correct? So why is it a problem Because NPR described it as a digital office under the Obama administration. And they said that Trump turned it into a digital strike team. So if Barack Obama can create an entire department within the executive branch that he oversees, why is it bad then that Donald Trump in January decides to change the name of it reinstitute that same department as Doge. And instead of having U.S. Digital Service, it’s called U.S. Doge Service. And then just essentially takes everything that Barack Obama did with these special appointed government employees and then uses it in the same fashion as Barack Obama, but for something different. Why is it that Democrats had a problem with the digital service under Barack Obama, or they didn’t have a problem, but they have a major problem with Trump doing the same thing? Because he’s a Republican. That’s the easy answer. That is why you discount these rat bastard fools. as much as they require. This is irrelevant. I don’t take seriously anyone who did not criticize the creation of the digital office unilaterally by Barack Obama with zero oversight within the executive. Do you remember your friends on Facebook sharing stupid memes that other people wrote that they never bothered to research themselves that get into, oh, it’s tyranny. Oh my gosh, look what they’re doing. They’re completely undermining the will of the voter. I mean, I went and looked. There’s literally no condemnation of him doing it. Now, there are criticisms coming from the conservative wing that are like, why is he doing this? Like, there’s no precedent for this. But there is now. There’s a precedent for Doge with Trump because Barack Obama laid the foundation. Don’t get mad at Trump. Barack Obama did it. You absolute hypocrites. He did it. So there’s no reason for them to get all, I’m just saying, look, I am just the messenger. I’m just telling you what people did. And that’s exactly what they did. That was all the way back in like 2014. So the Doge website is live. And as we just established, it’s completely fine, by the way, for this to have been done. Because Barack Obama established the precedent. I’m going to completely beat that over the head. But the Doge website, doge.gov, is live. And they have what they call, right when you go to the main page, it’s called an unconstitutionality index. And they have the number of agency rules listed. This is wild. Okay, you guys may not want to, if you’re at work, don’t, just look at this when you get home, like before dinner, so then you can have your meal and calm down because it’s shocking. The number of agency rules created by unelected bureaucrats for each law passed in Congress and it shows you rules in blue and laws in green and oh my gosh. the comparison is asinine. And what’s crazy is it’s so hyper-interactive and so detailed. This is what you get when you put nerds on the job, by the way. Nerds are nothing if they’re not about detail. It goes all the way back, by the way, in 2010. It goes all the way back to 2010. And the issue with This it shows you the number of rules and then how those rules have expanded gradually. And it also notes that whenever you have a Democrat president, it seems like they just expand exponentially. It gets into the amount of. Like, the total sections of regulation, the amount of words, they compare that, the length of all of that, as it pertains to the regulation compared to the law. It has, wow, expanded so much, it’s shocking. Shocking. It gets into everything. Department of Health and Human Services, Interior, Transportation, Agriculture, everything. We’re going to dive into some of this also on deck today. Pam Bondi has decided to open a can of whoop a double snakes. She’s going after everybody in New York. Letitia James, the DMV commissioner, Mark Schrader going after him. Kathy Hochul, governor of New York. She’s filed charges against the entire state. over their prioritization of illegal aliens over Americans. We’re going to talk about that. She was all business. She showed up in black, was all business. I approve. We’re also going to look at some of the cuts already recommended, particularly the Department of Education. you are going to fall on the floor and you might writhe a bit when I tell you the amount of money that is already being recommended for cuts. This is wild. So we got that to get into. Here’s another huge issue real quick, the GOP problem. There’s a problem brewing. There is a narrative baking and Republicans aren’t handling it. And we’ve got to talk about that. That’s priority. So we have a lot of stuff to get into today with everything. We’re also going to look at some of the latest with Gaza. We’ve got some domestic stuff, all kinds of things to get into today. that you do not want to miss as we move because we’ve got headlines on the way. What does living better mean to you?

I don’t know what you’re going to do every Saturday morning. Got to find a new hobby. Military fighter jet crashed into San Diego Bay.

SPEAKER 11 :
of the difficulty of US government workers retiring. Like the maximum retirement rate is $10,000 a month. And the reason for that is because the retirement is entirely paperwork right now. It’s manually calculated paperwork that’s put in an envelope and then taken down a mine shaft and stored in a mine. And then the, you know, one of the things that affects the rate at which federal workers can retire is the speed of the elevator in a mine in Pennsylvania, which is bizarre because it’s not, it should be digital, you know. So then when we said, well, why isn’t it digital? They said, well, we have had a digital digitization program going since 2014. So it’s been 11 years. So then we asked, well, so how much progress have you made? And they said, B. You mean you’re giving yourself a grade of B? No, we’re on the letter B. So we’re like, hmm, okay, we’re going to need to really provide some tech support here. Like, otherwise, literally people can’t even retire, like, even if they want to.
SPEAKER 07 :
He’s not wrong. It’s pretty bad. When that tweet came out, there were a million people in the comments talking about how it took them forever to get their payments adjusted, retirement, Social Security. One lady said it took her 12 months. Another said eight months because it’s so arduous going through all of that. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, bottom of this first hour. The chat’s at Rumble, and we also have the simulcast, Channel 347, DirecTV. as well as all the terrestrial stations. That’s actually shocking. I mean, that was one of the things where I thought, is that real? It’s so bad. That’s how bad it is. It’s so bad you have to go, wait a minute, is that real? I don’t know. Is it? It might be. Of course it is. You’re talking about the same government pulling this up. a little, what was it? Almost a trillion dollars that they spent. Do you remember like the, the geo cities website they built to help you navigate Obamacare back in what?
SPEAKER 1 :
2013.
SPEAKER 07 :
You remember that? And then it was so busted. Nobody could sign up. People missed deadlines because they could even sign up and they spent almost a trillion dollars on it. And Kane and I were like, yeah, we could have done that for like a billion. Yeah. Yeah, a bill or two. And we could have made it like total geocities, you know, where you had the words that turned and all that. We could have done that up real nice, Cain. We could have. So he’s right in everything that he just said. It’s shocking, actually. Yeah, that’s our good old government. I saw a photo of somebody like underground in a giant, massive… It could only be described as a repository for files underground. And they ride yellow bicycles. They have to ride yellow bicycles in between all the aisles when they’re pulling files. I am not making this up. I thought it was a joke. It’s really crazy when you think about some of this stuff. Oh, you gave yourself a B? No, we’re on the letter B. That’s where we’re at. Jeez, it’s insane. I don’t know why anybody’s upset about saving money. makes no sense at all. Why anybody would be upset over this? I mean, you had the This is actually a mistake for the left to freak out about Doge the way that they are. You can’t lie about what people have access to. You know, they had they explained it again. I think Musk explained it again yesterday when he was talking about the people at Doge and the access that they have and the very strict NDAs that they’re under. They’re not looking for people’s private information. They’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse. That’s how, for instance, they found a ton of people who were still getting Social Security that were nearing 200 years old. We don’t live in the times of the Old Testament. Ain’t nobody living that long no more, all right? It’s important to do this, and every dollar’s got to be saved at this point. That’s where we are. And Democrats are miscalculating by freaking out as hardcore as they are over this because there are Democrats out there, and I’m seeing them, that are now starting to question why their own elected officials that they voted for, Democrats, are so upset over someone auditing, going through, and making cuts to waste, fraud, and abuse. Because if there’s one thing that you can get everybody behind, it’s the idea that government shouldn’t be wasting taxpayer dollars. But the unbelievable thing that’s happened with us is now you have Democrats out there literally arguing to continue wasting taxpayer dollars. And meanwhile, you’ve got these other Democrats and some of the moderates who maybe will go Democrat sometimes. They’re looking at these lawmakers like the hell is wrong with you? Isn’t that what we’re all supposed to oppose? By the way, isn’t that what Democrats have accused Republicans of doing for forever? Oh, you guys are wasting people’s money. You’re stealing their Social Security. Y’all been stealing their Social Security since the beginning of Social Security. Stop. No, they did this. So I don’t feel I don’t feel no ways bad because Democrats created the groundwork to create Doge. You couldn’t have Doge had Barack Obama not created the U.S. Digital Service. And then the U.S. Digital Service, the only reason those people were there, again, was because of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They created that whole department that Trump then flipped to Doge. So if you want your precedent, there it is, Slick. You want the established pattern going forward? There it is, y’all. Thank Barack Obama for creating this. This is what Democrats don’t realize. When you open that Pandora’s box and you do this kind of stuff, guess what? You’re going to get a Republican that’s going to come in there and is going to use it to the people’s advantage. That’s exactly what we’re seeing right now. It’s pretty stunning. I don’t take seriously anybody. Look up U.S. Digital Service. Read about it. That’s what this is. They just took it over. Rightfully so. Lee Zeldin, head of EPA, discovered a $20 billion climate slush fund that the Biden administration was using, thrown out like Mardi Gras beads. Over $7 billion specifically was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund. Now they’re taking the money back. The phrase that I’ve seen used about seven or eight times lately has been clawed back the money. Can we find something different now? Get our money back is fine. Clot it back has already been overused. I get it. But they referred the case to the DOJ as well because it was appropriated. This was something that actually should have had congressional involvement in order to be appropriated because it wasn’t part of a particular spending package. So it was just kind of done willy nilly. So now he’s asking for the DOJ to investigate. And it’s a very left-wing NGO. This is another example. Tell me if you know what the Climate United Fund does. Ken, do you know what the Climate United Fund does?
SPEAKER 18 :
No.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t either. Nobody in the chat knows what it does. I don’t think the rain knows what it does. That’s a bad thing. When you don’t know what these things are doing and we’re giving them billions of dollars, that’s a problem. That’s a sign that your government is a little bit too big, bro. Government is too big when you don’t know where your money’s going and you don’t know what the entity’s doing. That’s just like one of all, and they all have these weird names like, you know, like Climate or Us or something. I’m just joking with that, but you know what I mean? Like Climate United, like we’re all behind the weather.
SPEAKER 18 :
Maybe it’s an organization that unites other people into the idea of bilking the American taxpayer.
SPEAKER 07 :
You know, look, if we’re going to sit here and get into the era of grifters and sellouts, I’ve never been paid for anything other than my jobs. Literally never. Or if I’ll do like a speaking thing, I have like a modest fee and then I get travel. That’s it. You know, other than that, no. Like I do fundraisers. No, I don’t get I don’t do any. There are a lot of people, a lot of conservatives and conservative organizations that take percentages on that. I’ve never done that. But if you know if the world’s going to slide into grifting, I could easily make fat bank by doing what all these other people do. I mean, you know, screw the IRS and the five figure that I got to pay. I make it up and then some. I mean, I’d feel like a prostitute. I couldn’t live with myself and I’d be cranky and horrible to everyone because of the guilt. But you know what I mean? But if that’s what we’re doing, you know, Democrats do it. They’ve been doing it this whole time. I just can’t put myself in the mind space of I’ve created this entity or group or some kind of effort and I’m going to accept government funding that typically 95% of the time goes towards paying salaries. Those grants pay like the overhead. They pay the salaries of everybody. Like, for instance, you know that stupid ginger and his lazy ass grifter wife who only opened suitcases on a game show before she got like a Z-list role as a barely supporting cast member on some Canadian drama series? Anyway, their little archwell with an E, so stupid, foundation that they created, you realize that when the numbers came out, like over 90% of it went to salaries. Everything was going to their salaries. They were making like a million dollars off of this. Meanwhile, they’re pledged to help the disadvantaged and all this. Those people were getting pennies, which now apparently we’re getting rid of. They’re getting pennies. No joke. The financials, they had to report the financials and they were waiting to release it like on a day that they didn’t think anybody was paying attention because it was so bad. Second year in a row, so bad. This is the stuff I’m talking about. How do you wake up in the morning and you’re not, and you act like a prostitute? Oh, I’m going to take this taxpayer dollars to do nothing except say that I’m doing something about climate or whatever. I just, the shame for that. How do people do that? I just, I don’t understand it. That’s Beggars on the sidewalk have more dignity than that. They really do. Now, did you guys hear? We got to talk about the goody room, man. Did you hear about the goody room? The goody room. I feel like now we’re in Tropic Thunder. Welcome to the goody room. A G5 player. You know, Tom Cruise wearing those fat hands, which was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life when he played Les Grossman. I could not. I read the story last night and I stopped halfway through and I’m like, I got to watch that scene. You’re telling me you want me to abandon my friend Tug Speedman in the jungle for a G5? G5, playa. And he’s like, he’s really thinking about it. So the goody room, Brandon Johnson. Now he’s the mayor of Chicago, right? Y’all know Brandon Johnson, right? Well, I can’t even believe they did this. Chicago City Hall decided, you know when a great time to make a video of our goody room is? Now. So they released a video. They call it a gift room. Y’all, it’s a goody room. And they watched Mayor Johnson accept all of these valuable gifts. Like, totally improper. Possibly illegal. And that came after the Office of the Inspector General, Pered State, accused him of not reporting any of these super expensive gifts that he was receiving. Now, you tell me, people were given this man, the mayor of Chicago, Cain, jewelry, liquor, AirPods, size 14 men’s shoes, designer handbags. They’re given the man designer handbags. Your broke welfare ass can’t go out and get a designer bag and so you grift off the taxpayer to do it? Of all the things you nouveau riche bum to spend your money on, that’s what you’re doing? Oh my gosh. So this new protocol went into effect last week and they were saying, oh, these officials, they got to report and log their gifts within 10 days. And then they got to put the gifts in an area that can be viewed publicly and people can look at it quarterly. That’s his goody room. And he’s keeping it and he’s just like, no, we did prompt disclosure. I mean, some people said gift room. Some had said grift room. You’re looking at it now. That’s like all this stuff. Now, some of the things that I’m curious as to whether or not everything that he received is actually in there. I’m saying no. Now, here’s the thing. They don’t know if the shoes or the designer bags, and we’re talking, you know, Givenchy, Gucci. I mean, that ain’t cheap stuff. He’s got some Hugo Boss cufflinks. They weren’t able to find those in the goody room, Cain. They know that he was gifted them, but those are some of the items they can’t find in that goody room, Cain. Oh, boy.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think we know what happened then, don’t we?
SPEAKER 07 :
I want a goody room. I know. This is America. Why should he be the only guy that has a goody room?
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s even better than that. It’s a goody room that you didn’t have to pay for.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, you didn’t have to pay for none of them goodies in there.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s what I want.
SPEAKER 07 :
I just think it’s hysterical that you’re like, who’s like, oh, hello, Mr. Mayor. Here’s a Gucci bag. That’s so weird. Who does that? What a fruitcake. I’m not done with that topic. I know we got to get moving, but I am fascinated by the goody room, right? Like only in Chicago, right? Am I right? Only in Chicago. New York probably has one too. Let’s be real. Okay.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yesterday, I met with a manufacturing company, but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing. So I asked them, so how many of those students that are signing up and want to do this, how many are women students? And they said, well, I know there’s at least 13% or something. It was a low number. And you had mentioned trying to engage more women in manufacturing. I’m just wondering if just the name manufacturing sounds like a guy. Hmm.
SPEAKER 07 :
Jan Schakowsky. I have been, I have written about this woman many, For so long, back since 2012, she’s a little bit of a nut job. She’s the one who’s super heavy, super hardcore progressive. And she’s gotten loopier as she’s gotten older. So she’s upset because manufacturing has the word man in it. You want bitch factoring? Is that what you want?
SPEAKER 18 :
What about manual labor? You can’t even call it that? Manual?
SPEAKER 07 :
What about old crone facturing? That’s a possibility, right? Yeah, I like this so stupid of all the things. This is why you lose. I’m not against them continuing to do this, guys. It only benefits us. So, you know, never interrupt your opponent when they’re committing, you know, rhetorically suicide. Stick with a second hour on the way. Our partners, the non-firearm firearm, the burn a gun. It’s always good to diversify what you have as your weapons array. And I always, every now and then I come across someone’s like, well, I don’t go to gun-free zones. Good for you. I love that for you. Some of us, though, we have to by nature of what we do for a living. You know, we got to put our big. kid pants on and we got to go to work and sometimes that requires going to a place where municipal restrictions or private property regulations say you can’t carry and maybe they don’t want to keep you safe I’ve got friends who work in DC and New York and they deal with the same thing every single day by way of their jobs and they are like-minded people and you want them in the jobs that they’re in my friends went out and they got the Berna SD which is the most popular model it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away and it has a five round capacity Which is much greater than the stun guns, which are maybe just one or two shots.

SPEAKER 03 :
We’re here today because we have filed charges against the state of New York. We have filed charges against Kathy Hochul. We have filed charges against Latisha James and Mark Schroeder, who is with DMV. This is a new DOJ, and we are taking steps to protect Americans, American citizens, and angel moms, like the mom standing right behind me, who you’re gonna hear from in a moment. New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today.
SPEAKER 07 :
So that’s Pam Bondi, and she’s not wrong. I love that this was one of the first. I’ve got my issues with her 2A stuff. But I love that she came right out of the gate, steel-toed boots, kicking backside with us. So she’s going after everybody. If you’re a sanctuary state and you have been violating federal law, one, two, body’s coming for you. That’s what’s happening. Welcome back to the program. Second hour already? I almost said bottom of the first hour. Did we fall into like a wormhole? For real? So weird. So my allergy meds, it’s a little new. Totally loopy. Totally. And everything is entertaining to me. I think this is probably what like drugs are like. Pretty sure. Just saying. So if I seem happy and chill and a little less Daria, that is not normal. Just FYI. So I love the fact that she’s immediately coming out and she’s doing what needs to be done. Honestly, I’m just how crazy is it that we’re so excited that over a lawmaker doing their job. This should be boring day-to-day stuff. Guess what? I’m doing the job I was elected to do again. And we should be like, yay, great. And now let’s do back to our regularly scheduled programming. But we’ve been without that for so long, it’s weird. Like, oh my gosh, they’re doing what they were elected to do? We’re so shocked. Yes, more of that. That’s how crazy this is. Right? Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not downing anybody for doing their job. It’s just so weird that we’re excited just that the basic law and order is being upheld. I don’t know. You know that we’re going to see They’re going to try to fight this, but I just love that her first act was to go after Letitia James and Kathy Hochul and all of that. Kathy Hochul had this tweet. Cain found this. She tweeted this. I’m so tired of this. Quote, New York is proud that immigrants from across the globe come here searching for a better life and we’re protecting all New Yorkers by cracking down on violent criminals. No, you’re not. We expect AG Pambandi’s worthless publicity-driven lawsuit to be a total failure. Okay, so first off, this isn’t an issue of immigrants. This is an issue of people who enter the country illegally. Major difference, you racist old white lady. And I say that she’s a racist old white lady because she immediately assumes that every immigrant apparently comes here illegally or that illegal immigrants are the same as people who come here legally. I mean, that’s just a white privilege perspective to have on that, isn’t it? This is about people who come in illegally, refuse to be held accountable, and then go on to commit even more crimes. That’s been happening. We just had another arrest in the Dallas area of Trenda, Aragua. People who come in illegally, they’ve been allowed to stay illegally. Guess what? They get caught committing other crimes. Illegal possession of a firearm and everything else. Oh, but you don’t get any big statements from the gun control groups or Kathy Hochul on stuff like that. This is not a publicity-driven lawsuit. It’s a lawsuit everybody voted for. You’re insulting the voters when you insult what the voters have voted for. It’s a betrayal. This isn’t about immigrants. This is about people who come here illegally. And you know what? You know who else doesn’t like people who come here illegally? The people who come here illegally. They don’t like the people who come here illegally either. In fact, they’re even angrier about it. And they have every right to be because they follow every rule. And those are the type of people that you want, right? They’re following every rule. They’re doing everything right. They want to be a part of the great American family. And then they get lumped in with all these criminals that are breaking the law by coming in without telling everybody that they’re coming in. Coming in illegally. I just find the… Act of lumping them all together by the left to be so offensive. It’s so offensive. And I hate saying that something’s offensive, but it really is. And it makes me mad on behalf of the people who do everything right and come here legally, you know. When people do that, and you know, yes, it’s not that we don’t have sacred cows in this conversation. There are a lot of things that can be overhauled, a lot of bureaucracy, and a lot of things that can be made better and be made more efficient. You know, E-Verify, things like that. But when you… I get upset for them because I know I have friends… who have come in from everywhere. I have friends who’ve come in and immigrated legally from Columbia. I have friends who’ve come in from Venezuela. I have friends who have immigrated legally from Mexico. I have friends that have immigrated legally from Ireland, Latvia. I’m trying to think everywhere, Ethiopia. And they’ve waited collectively decades One of my friends who came here, got married, had kids, raised kids. Because for some reason, the time span for everybody is different. The two friends that I have, one of them came from Colombia and the other actually came from England. 16 years and 12 years. respectively. That’s how long it took them. They didn’t stop the process or anything. That’s just literally how long it took them to do all this. And you can see why they get so upset when you have people who come in across the border illegally and they are fast-tracked and then they’re given government money, taxpayer dollars. You understand why they get so upset. I get so upset. One of the funniest conversations I ever had in my life, we were fishing and we were in the West Indies and we were fishing and we were outside TCI. Turks and Caicos Island. And the captain of our boat, like great guy, him and the first mate, we would charter this boat before to go out and you fish and then you get it cooked up on the beach and it’s just, you know, you got no cell phone reception. Nobody’s touching you. It’s amazing. And they were kind of laughing because they were talking about how apparently one of the other, it was the other island at TCI, where they had repelled a boat that was, again, another boat coming in from Haiti. This is a problem they’ve been dealing with for decades now. And it’s gotten worse because they’ve had some progressive government and now they’re overrun by illegal immigrant Haitians and drugs, tons of drugs. Haitians have been bringing tons of drugs in and tons of stolen guns. So now they got a murder rate that’s tripled. It’s terrifying. And all of the people at TCI are livid. And this is the other thing. That’s not the government they voted for. Long story short, this captain was like, it was almost like they were kind of laughing at the U.S. And he’s like, we don’t understand why you guys don’t have a hardcore stance on immigration. I’m like, what are you talking about? I do. And he’s like, you might, but your government doesn’t. And then they were going through all of the other islands in the Caribbean. And they were like, you can’t do this here. You can’t do this in, you definitely couldn’t do this in Cuba. You can’t do this in Dominican Republic. You couldn’t do this in Puerto Rico. You can’t do this in TCI. You can’t do this in St. Lucia. You can’t do this, you know, listing, you know, and going through all of the immigration policies of these countries. And then they’re like, ah, but the U.S., you can come in. And then they give you a government check. And then they give you a government phone. And now we’re putting them in luxury hotels that cost a $59 million to the taxpayer. It was very interesting to get that perspective because you always hear the left that wants you to view everything through this leftist European perspective. So it was very interesting to get that perspective on U.S. immigration from a multi-generational lifelong TCI resident who does a fishing boat. And he had more common sense than most lawmakers in D.C. And I told him that I’m like, you’re saying if you ever immigrated to the United States, you might consider elected office. And he was like, you guys got an immigration problem. Now I feel like finding him and being like, who’s got the problem now? Joking, but still. So Pam Bondi is going through suing everybody and she ought to. She ought to. And a lot of these are the gangs because you’ve got these gangs coming in and they immigrate illegally and then they plant their flag in different neighborhoods and they get established and then they set up a network and then they start drug running. They start people running, gun running, all of it. You know, the harboring illegal aliens is a violation of Title 8 USC subsection 1324. And that wording states, quote, the penalty for harboring illegal aliens who cause serious bodily injury or put someone’s life in jeopardy is up to 20 years in prison. Now, if a crime committed by an illegal alien results in a death of an innocent, the person who harbors them can face life in prison. That seems like a pretty strong law, Kane. I mean, the other fines, the least amount of jail time that you can get is like three years. That’s the mandatory minimum that must be sentenced that you must receive in terms of punishing for this punishment for this. You have a fine under Title 18, a mandatory minimum of three-year term of imprisonment. And then if there’s a second offense, so like if you’re caught doing it again, then you get enhanced penalties. Your mandatory minimum increases, your fine increases. And then I think afterwards, I mean, you could be looking up at 25 years, in some cases life, depending on the nature of some of the offenses. So that’s the law. So Pam Bondi is following the law. If you’re a lawmaker and you’re declaring that your state is a sanctuary city, you’re violating Title 8 USC subsection 1324. You’re actually harboring illegal aliens. And I’m just curious as to why, you know, you have these people not being, that’s the law. Look at how the J6 stuff was litigated. Now, granted, the people who were violent and busted up things, yeah, they busted up my house that my tax dollars go to. I got a problem with that. But you realize that was like not even 1% of the people who came out. A lot of them were just tourists. They weren’t even at the rally that was like all those blocks away near the ellipses. They weren’t even near that. But think of the way that they persecuted people, even if you were just outside. There were people that they were. We heard you were in the area that I had friends that were not in the area that live in the area, but that weren’t there. And they had the FBI visit them. Some of them have been on this program. They go after that so aggressively. But then this. You harbor an illegal alien like Kathy Hochul’s been doing. like Brandon Johnson’s been doing in Chicago, like they’ve been doing at Gavin Newsom, like these lawmakers out in California, lawmakers in Massachusetts. Oh my gosh, we got Massachusetts story. It’s crazy. They don’t even wrist slap them. They ignore it. So good on Pam Bondi. Gosh, what is it? It’s going to be weird to have actual law and order again, isn’t it? Now coming up, Do you guys hear the, there’s a sanctuary state for alphabet people in Massachusetts. I watched some of these videos where they had this town hall and I felt like I was listening to open mic night at the asylum. They, what is a LGBT, hang on, there’s a lot of letters here. All the letters, a sanctuary state. What the hell is that? What does that mean? Okay, save that. Think about it because we’re going to talk about it coming up. I don’t know what that means. It’s like they just make stuff up. We’ve got that for you. We also have some of the latest cabinet. Because RFK Junior’s in.

SPEAKER 18 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 07 :
So the Fed, they’re saying now that mortgages are not going to be available in some areas, according to the Fed chair, because this is just such fear mongering nonsense. Jerome Powell testified before Senate Banking Committee yesterday or sorry, not yesterday, Tuesday about interest rates. And during the Q&A, he was asked about the availability of mortgages. And, you know, states like California where wildfires burn through everything. And he said that, you know, some of these insurance companies are pulling out of areas where there are fires. And, you know, fast forward, there are going to be regions of the country where you can’t get a mortgage. And the banks aren’t going to have branches and things like that. So they’re saying that insurance is difficult to get, right? And that you might not be able to get a mortgage in some areas. Wow. So the state of California made it unlivable there. That’s, you know, essentially what it is. Think about it. Good night. Also, because I got to get through these kind of quickly. The San Andreas Fault. There’s fears now after the fourth California earthquake in 24 hours. Aren’t we always told that like every year, oh, it’s the new Madrid or it’s the San Andreas and the big one’s going to come. And when was that one earthquake that that happened in California? Like I was in junior high, I think when it happened. And I remember watching aerial footage of a bridge that a huge highway overpass that collapsed. Remember that? There hasn’t been a huge one since then, but they’re saying, you know, be careful out there. High school trans athletes are fighting Trump’s executive order protecting girls’ sports in court. They’re going to lose. Police investigate. Of course, it’s Britain. A spree of cat shavings. So a bunch of homeowners in, it’s in Britain, they’ve said in Curtin, they’ve said that there’s cases of their cats coming home entirely shaved. It’s someone’s pet and the animal comes back unharmed but entirely shaved. So now police are investigating. That’s a very weird thing to do. Coming up, the latest with cabinet confirmations, Hamas, so much more. Massachusetts and the alphabet people stick with us. All Family Pharmacy.

SPEAKER 02 :
I want to hear why, but do you think that calling Elon Musk a d*** is effective messaging for confronting what is a potentially irreversible transformation of the U.S. government?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, he is a d*** and I think he’s also harming the American public in an enormous way.
SPEAKER 07 :
So that’s that Representative Garcia that we talked about the other day. He called Elon Musk a male… He thinks he’s being a real tough talker. I love these lawmakers who run their mouths and then they cover their genitals and they cower like beaten dogs when they’re confronted by someone of the opposite ideology. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of the second hour. So this… Representative is livid over Musk, again, cutting everything. And he called him a male copulatory organ on social media. And then he doubled down on it again last night on CNN. Now, why? For what purpose? There’s nothing that he’s doing that’s illegal. But there’s a lot of stuff that’s being done illegally with our taxpayer dollars through CNN. just unregulated spending. Lorraine notes, she found out that that Climate United Fund, because we were wondering, this is where a huge chunk of money went. She said that it’s like a group of other climate-oriented organizations, and then they take the money, manage it. They hand it out to other groups, like for climate stuff. So they’ve gotten nearly $7 billion in April 2024 from the EPA, she notes. And what in the world? They’ve got the Self-Help Credit Union. That’s DEI stuff. The Calvert Impact. That’s investment firm for climate stuff. And then the Community Preservation Corporation, which is like a mortgage firm that incorporates all this climate nonsense. So it’s climate, climate, climate, which is a scam. It’s a complete scam. That’s what our money’s been going to. It’s like a shell game. You have this group that donates to this group that donates to this group. Then they donate to the run. That’s where the running really goes. Just wild. This morning, Trump fired all 93 federal prosecutors appointed by Biden. Every day. Every day. There’s something, and I love it. The left can’t keep up. They cannot keep up. At all. The… idea that I mean, it’s just coming in fast. There’s how I’m just still there. He’s been going nonstop and he’s only like chipping away at it still because there’s so many decades of this nonsense. How is that a free society? To have all of that overhead, have all of your tax dollars being drained and going into everything from Pravda media to, you know, literally weapons training for Hamas and so much more. It is insane. So this is what, I’m telling you, something else. This is what they’ve all, this is what’s all been one thing after another. In addition, I wanted to make sure that because we got the cabinet, we got, oh, I wanted to touch on this. Hegseth, this is one last thing related to some of the U.S. aid and some of the changes happening. Hegseth tore into European allies because now Trump is, he’s pushing on NATO hard and he ought to be. because NATO’s treated the United States like a pimp daddy. They have. I mean, they really have. When you have all these nations that fight against even donating just the smallest amount of their own money to, of their own GDP to their own defense, because they think, oh, the United States will do it. I mean, you pay for everybody else’s defense, which is asinine. He said, quote, Hegseth said, quote, make no mistake, President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into Uncle Sucker. It’s a great alliance, he goes, but we got to make NATO great again. And they got to be able to pull their own weight. Otherwise, there’s no point. Do you see for all the people who scream about Russia, Russia, Russia? Do you see how welfare defense in terms of how all of these European nations have treated the United States actually works in Russia’s favor? less capable less ready nato and you’re making american taxpayers pay for it and this builds up resentment amongst american taxpayers and you threaten the stability and very existence of nato because no one else wants to pull their their weight but by god they expect the united states to come and guns blazing if they need help we’re done with that I love the fact that he just told Zelensky to pound sand, basically, too. I mean, not verbatim, but Zelensky’s been all but sidelined. Don’t they have elections coming? He’s just as corrupt as everything else. Don’t they have elections coming up?
SPEAKER 18 :
Beyond the ones that canceled?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You mean when they shut the churches down?
SPEAKER 18 :
No, I don’t really know.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, you know. I mean, their tyrant is better than the other tyrant, I guess, right? Isn’t that how it works? Yeah. Oh, wait, Dana, that’s not like the that’s not what you’re supposed to say. By the way, for all the people who talk about neocon stuff, the accurate way to say it is to be like, you got to be a neocon and love you some Zelensky. That’s the actual the accurate way to put that in perspective. He said that that it would be false. Hegs says NATO discussion said it would be false to assume that Trump’s going to start off negotiations from any other position than that of strength. I don’t think that Trump, honestly, and this is for all the criticism that Trump gets for having an outsized personality or looking like a bully. That’s the guy you want to sit down across that you want sitting across from Putin. The left mistakes. Trump’s perception of Putin, I think. Because they think that Trump admires other strong dudes. And they view, by holding that belief, they view Putin as being a strong dude, whether they want to admit it or not. I don’t think he’s a strong dude. I’m explaining to you the leftist perception. They, by way of, and they’ve promoted this idea before that Trump somehow admires Putin. That’s a presupposition based on the premise that strength admires strength. So Trump views Putin as a strong dude. I don’t think that he does. Furthermore, I don’t think that they demonstrate an understanding of Trump. Trump is not. He can recognize someone who has a strong personality, but he wants to be number one in anything, no matter where he is. And he’s very, very competitive. Those types of personalities don’t look at other similar personalities and find them favorable. he will compete with you and he’ll bully you back. He’ll go with you. You’ve seen that with some of the primary stuff. So this idea that he would be cowed by Putin is really stupid. And it demonstrates a complete lack of understanding as it relates to his character. I think he kind of thinks he’s astute. Also, Putin’s very short. How tall is he? Isn’t he like, for a man, he’s like short for a dude. Isn’t he like my height? Hang on. Let’s Google this. Putin’s height. I got to look at this.
SPEAKER 16 :
They say 5’5″.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, he’s 5’7″. I was right. Dude, he’s my height. I am as tall as he is. I’m 5’7″. Okay, 5’6 and 3 quarters, but whatever. I’m 5’7″. He is my height. You know, Kim Jong-un is 5’2″. That’s from the week. But yeah, he is officially, Putin is officially, it’s in an article called Vladimir Putin and the Rise of the Short Kings. He is five foot seven inches. So that’s a little bit diminutive for a dude, right? What’s the average? So he’s not a tall guy. Trump is ginormous. Trump is huge. He’s like, what, 6’4″, 6’5″? I don’t think people appreciate how tall he is. He’s very big boned. He’s very tall.
SPEAKER 11 :
He’s 6’3″.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, he’s taller than 6’3″. I’m sorry. No way, dude. He’s got to be taller. When I met him, I came up to his armpits. there’s no way I’m up to that dude’s armpits. Like when he, cause I’ve, he’s like done like a side thing, a side hug at one event. When he shook my hand, my hand like disappeared into his hand. And I’m like, Jiminy Christmas. Like the first time I met him in person, when I introduced him at CPAC, I was shocked at how tall he was. Don Jr. Is kind of tall too, but I think that senior is actually taller.
SPEAKER 18 :
Baron wins that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, Baron’s taller than all of them. Baron’s like eight foot seven. He’s like huge. Anyway, my whole point of bringing that out is one of the things that Trump does, LBJ did. I’m not like casting LBJ in a positive light. Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon Baines Johnson, think of Lady Bird. He was 6’4″, so he was about as tall as Trump is. And one of the things that LBJ would do when he was trying to convince lawmakers to vote, I read this biography of him. He was a jackass, absolute jackass. LBJ was just rude. He was a bully, not a nice guy. Didn’t like Kennedy. He was not a nice dude. I mean, there’s a whole thing there. But one of the things that he did to other lawmakers is he would use his height as a weapon. So when he would talk to people, one of his biographers would note that he would step right up to them where his his toe would like be touching their toes of their shoes and he would get right into their space and. even, you know, push his shoulders forward. So he’s like looming over them as a way to intimidate them. He would do that to everybody. When he would shake people’s hands, he would use even with women on like, he would really try to like grip your hand. You know, there’s, there’s that weird when you shake someone’s hand for the first time and it’s like a competition to see who has the strongest handshake and it’s just douchey. Um, He was like purposely mean but he was notorious for that stuff He would like march over if he was displeased with someone and he was gonna confront them He would march right over to him and use his height and do all that Trump is not as he’s not like a jack wagon like LBJ was in that sense, but he absolutely does use His height in those matters. There’s one photo of him where he was meeting with Putin I think this was his first term, maybe the end of his first year or in the second year. And it was a quick photo where they did the customary greetings. Juan’s showing you a picture of LBJ. That’s the stuff he did. That’s literally the stuff he did. People would back away from him. And Trump was shaking Putin’s hand and he was doing kind of the same thing, like looming over him and really standing up straight, unnaturally so, and using his height to his advantage because Putin’s a short dude. There’s a photo of Putin walking with Tony Blair and Tony Blair looks like three heads taller than Putin. And Russian media, they’re very, very sensitive to this stuff. So they’re always, whenever Russia controls it, they’re always very, very careful not to have anybody look taller or manlier than Putin. So that’s a very when they can’t control it. It’s a weird thing for them. So anyway, my whole point is that he sidelines Zelensky because I think Zelensky is dead weight with us. He really is. They’re not able to do anything. Zelensky is not a negotiator. I mean, this guy’s just as much of a tyrant. He is. You can be like, well, he’s less of a tyrant than whatever. He’s still they shut down churches. They shut down media. They go after people that criticize their government. If you disagree with their whatever, it’s just the same thing. It’s the same again. Same to her, different side. So this, I think it probably gets wrapped up faster without him involved. But they’ve already been saying that they would be willing to do a land swap. So I don’t know. Well, it’s all fascinating stuff. This idea of Vegas Larry says he’s 5’7″, so he can rule the world. There you go. Five sevens where it’s at. Five seven club. Ooh. And that’s one of my favorite calibers. Oh, I’m going to have to get that Kel-Tec 57 rotary barrel pistol. All right. So we got more to come. We’ve got already Florida man. And let me just tell you really quickly, we’ve got the alphabet people making a sanctuary state for, I don’t know why. We’re going to talk about that. We got to get into the… A couple of other stories. Oh, Ilhan Omar did marry her brother. Gaza, all that, all that and so much more. I got a self-defense story for you. We got a lot to hit.

SPEAKER 18 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 07 :
So this is weird. So this was the Florida Sun Sentinel. I didn’t have this on my list, but it’s a Florida boaters are claiming wrongful arrest and jail time for boating DUI, despite the fact that they were totally sober. Not totally tober, but totally sober. It was in August. So they’ve been fighting this this whole time. It was in Jupiter, Florida, where a man took his wife, young kids and friends out on the river and and they ended up getting handcuffed. Their kids were crying. Florida Fish and Wildlife took them into custody. They said they were boating under the influence. Testing later found that he was totally sober. He didn’t drink. He doesn’t do drugs. In fact, he doesn’t drink because he’s like apparently a devout Christian, and he owns a Christian private equity company, and he’s a church elder. And so he’s a hardcore… He’s a teetotaler. He doesn’t do anything. But they… They… The guy told him, quote, listen, brother, you’re showing extreme signs of impairment. And the guy goes, because I’m nervous. I’m here with all my kids and you’re like, you know, doing what you’re doing. So the guy was just claiming that he was drunk, took him into custody. And now he’s trying to get the case expunged because prosecutors couldn’t file charges because the guy was sober. He blew zero point zero zero on a breathalyzer, but they still held him to until two thirty a.m. the next day. He tested negative for absolutely everything. And he’s one of the multiple cases over the last few years involving these voters who say that they were arrested because, you know, the guys are apparently a little aggressive and people get nervous and, you know, they ended up having having to fight these cases. That’s crazy. I think there needs to be a lawsuit filed for that. You’re going to have to make a very expensive lesson out of somebody in order to stop that kind of stuff. That’s what’s going to have to happen. Unfortunately, this let’s see. Oh, boy. This man, telling you about them gators, he survived a gator attack, like a full-blown gator attack, thanks to his neighbors. Southwest Florida man. This was in North Naples. And he says… He was because it took him five paragraphs to get into the story because the people here suck. Naples Daily News said the guy saw this alligator. He wasn’t really watching, but it came from nowhere. Its mouth open, bit down on his right leg, wouldn’t let go. It attacked him for several minutes. The neighbors saw they went out to fight off the gator and ended up saving his life. And so he was thanking his neighbors. But if you’re working around any body of water in Florida, including a tiny little puddle, giant gators are going to fly out of that puddle. You just got to… I don’t like their mouths. It’s so weird. It’s like pale chicken inside there. It’s just gross.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s where all the teeth are.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, I don’t like them. A Florida man injured an endangered great white heron at a state park. He harmed it. It was a Bill Bragg State Park in Key Biscayne, 34-year-old Edgar Valenzuela. He wounded an endangered species because he was throwing rocks at it. So can I throw rocks at him? I would totally do that for free. giant rocks. I just throw right at him. And he was fishing in the park. He got mad because the heron was trying to get at his bait. And so he threw rocks at the bird and really hurt it. And so they had to get Florida Fish and Wildlife involved. So I’m not reading this headline that you have at the bottom. I’m so glad that we’re out of time. Are you sure, Kane? Why are you nervous now all of a sudden? We’re out of time. We’d have to actually probably use our get out of jail free card with Brandon Carr for that one. Stick with us third hour on the way.

SPEAKER 14 :
Now, I’m going to be quick because I want to send a message to somebody.
SPEAKER 07 :
Why are you talking like Chris Walker? Just get it out of here.
SPEAKER 14 :
Elon, take your musty millions and musty Moscow rights to the moon.
SPEAKER 15 :
Because if you don’t, We’re going to stand up. We’re going to speak out. We’re going to march. We’re going to do anything we need to do to make sure that the people of this country understand that the CFPB is for them. You get your musty hands off of our money or go to Moscow, you musty moo-moo-moo.
SPEAKER 07 :
What is even that? That’s Emmanuel Cleaver out of Kansas City. I’ve heard of, I like to pride myself on insults. And yet, I wouldn’t be offended. I’d be like, I’m sorry, what a, wait, this is how it’s described in my audio rundown. Quote, go to Moscow, you musty moo moo moo.
SPEAKER 18 :
sums it up.
SPEAKER 07 :
What is even that? I’m afraid to Google it, Kane. Third hour. Dana Lash with you. He is a case study in progressive lunacy. And so he’s trying to get everybody mad at Elon. What is the musty Moscow hands? He just likes the alliteration. Or not so much the alliteration, the consonants. I’m trying to, he just likes the consonants of it. I’m trying to understand his point. He’s not taking anybody’s anything. He’s saving them money, us money. Oh man, I didn’t really want to talk about what I was telling you on break. You know about the Facebook stuff, King? How can I do this delicately? Oh, it’s taken everything I have. We got drama.
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s a good question. I mean, you’re professional.
SPEAKER 07 :
Blood drama.
SPEAKER 18 :
You do professional lady radio.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it’s professional lady radio. Let me just set it out. So everybody knows some people. Some of you are related. Some of you are not. And they get on Facebook and they feel like that’s the place where they can just totally run their mouth about every conspiracy theory possible. So there was a person that is amongst my very loose association that I only saw because they had tagged a friend of mine in the rant where they were literally accusing. And actually they cited something that not it was in a cleaver. It was Warren had said. And they were accusing Elon Musk of literally taking, and that was their phrase, literally taking my Social Security check. I felt like I was watching a South Park episode where Stan stands up and he’s like, they took our jobs. And, you know, he’s going, and Elon Musk literally took my Social Security check. And I’m like, literally took it? Like he physically, with his hands in D.C., stole your check? Yeah, where’d he put it? Who took it before he got there? Why don’t you just have all your money and why is the government have it in the first place? They’re talking to the crazies because they want the crazies to help them convince the people in the middle that somehow someone’s stealing. If the government doesn’t get to steal it, then that means someone’s stealing it and it’s not them. So it’s theft. Does that make sense? Like Emmanuel Cleaver’s out there going, and we’re not stealing this, you musty moo moo moo. What the hell? Is he drunk? Probably. You know what he wanted to say? I got a theory. He wanted to see him jackson it. Oh. Ah. Ah. Ah. He wanted to see him. Sorry, Juan, can you just play that end of that again? If you look at it through the perspective of Emanuel, Cleaver really wanted to go full Sam Jackson. You know what I mean? Say what again? Then it makes sense. Watch.
SPEAKER 14 :
Elon, take your mustard millions and mustard Moscow rights to the moon.
SPEAKER 15 :
Because if you don’t, we’re going to stand up, we’re going to speak out, we’re going to march, we’re going to do anything we need to do to make sure that the people of this country understand that the CFPB is for them. You get your mustard hands off of our money or go to Moscow, you mustard moo-moo-moo.
SPEAKER 07 :
I turn into the Monty Python meme. He wanted to say, you know it, Emanuel Cleaver wanted to drop an MF. Jackson, prove me wrong. Prove me wrong. Does it make sense now? You know he’s thinking about it. He’s thinking in his head. Oh, but I’m sitting in front of this lady pretending to be a priest. Oh, maybe I shouldn’t. I thought for a minute, I’m like, I’m sorry, what? What are you going to say? Disappointed. And then he realizes, wait a minute, I’ve got to start the yelling. Is there really a Democrat speech if they’re not yelling and trying to scare you? Right? I mean, you just can’t get out there and then he looks around like he just walked out of a boxing ring. You absolute clown. What a clown show. Look at all these fools up there with their stupid signs. If the government can’t steal the money, then someone’s stealing it. And if it’s not us, then it’s theft.
SPEAKER 18 :
I love the stay strong sign back there.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, stay strong for what? Protect that fraud. We’re for fraud. Go fraud. We’re pro fraud. It’s the pro fraud party. I can’t even talk. The pro fraud party is what it is. But why did he just like out of nowhere starts yelling and flailing? You must. This is my favorite. Can we save this soundbite? I wanted to play for you. Adios, I made seven. A British politician. Guys, he’s upset because his wife was to get a million quid in USA, right? Before Trump canceled the contract. He was this audio soundbite seven. This politician was quite upset. Kane, his wife, was to get a million quid in order to, for grants before Trump cancelled the contract. So sad. Listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
Stopped. Doesn’t matter. You have a contract. So, you know, Turquoise Mountain, which my wife Shoshana runs, has a contract, had another million dollars to go. Money just stops.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s our money. You musty moo-moo. Watch your mouth. You can’t say that on air. He’s upset because the spigot got turned off. What did his wife do? Some stupid stuff. It’s like I feel like I’m watching. You know what? When I hear these people say what they do with our tax dollars, it’s like watching… What is it? What’s the house buying show on HGTV? Literally it’s called like Home Buyers or something like that. Anyway, where these people go and buy a house and it’s always like this jack wagon. He’s like, yes, I whittle wooden spoons out of found wood. House Hunters, thank you. House Hunters, that whole show. And you always have some guy who has, it’s a couple that have no applicable skills really, right? He’ll be like, yes, I’m an underwater basket weaver. I went six figures into debt to get my master’s degree in a 2,000-year-old dead language Sanskrit and underwater basket weaving. And then the wife is all, you know, she’s like, yes, I make, I don’t know what the hell she does. She just sells stupid stuff that she finds on Etsy. I don’t know. And their budget’s $10 million. I mean, it’s like what, you know what I mean? It’s like the… I’m amazed at some of these people that I see on House Hunters. And I’m amazed at these people who are bitching and moaning about, can you believe that my wife Shoshana, she had her, I mean, we had a contract. It was a contract and she was supposed to get millions of dollars with this contract. And then they just stopped and the money went away. Because it’s not your money. And they’re upset. Like, we’re supposed to honor this BS contract? What does your wife even do, you welfare recipient? What does she even do? She writes messages on bananas and gives them to the poor. That’s what she does. That’s her whole. So, you know, before the homeless person eats the banana, they can see the uplifting message written on it.
SPEAKER 18 :
Were they those art bananas? Because those are super.
SPEAKER 07 :
I was actually just riffing off of what that suitcase be. That wife of that ugly ginger with the frozen todger. Remember him? Meghan Markle? Yeah, that’s her. Okay. Yeah, Princess Harry, her, yeah. Because that’s what she did, like with the whole thing. She wrote messages on bananas, and that was like her big deal, her big poor outreach to the poor, as you know. So before these starving people eat some potassium, they’re like, oh, it says to keep going on my banana. Guess I won’t kill myself. I’m being poor and homeless today. Thanks. I don’t know. So… This is so insane that they’re so upset. Now, but wait, there’s more. Do you guys want to hear more? Yes, you do. Audio soundbite two. Randy Weingarten, the head grifter of the, what is it, NEA? Whatever. Some teacher’s organization where they want to keep your kids stupid and they want to punish good teachers. Every good teacher I know cannot stand the teacher’s unions because they cultivate… This competitive, oppressive nature where the old teachers that suck are very jealous of the new teachers that are really innovative coming in and that actually love education and love teaching your kids. I’ve heard this story so many times. Anyway, long story short, Randy Weingarten is super mad at Doge. They’re all going after Elon Musk. Watch. So what we’re hearing is just complete chaos and, frankly, a whole bunch of cruelty.
SPEAKER 04 :
Because at the end of the day, you can make departments more efficient. And I’m not a big believer in bureaucracy.
SPEAKER 07 :
But this feels like, as Elon Musk said to you… What did she say that was actually at all illuminating? You know, it’s just cruel. And at the end of the day, platitudes and stuff. Okay, what… Why are you upset at Elon Musk, Randy? Audio 7×3. Now she says she calls it a data breach.
SPEAKER 04 :
Number one is to try to stop the data breach. That’s number one. And number two is to try to actually get Congress to do the kind of accountability on all of this. But that’s why we’re going to the courts to try to get the courts to interpret the law and stop this invasion of privacy.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s not an invasion of privacy. The invasion of privacy was the government having all of this in the first place, right? The fraud was the government having all of this in the first place. The data breach was the government being able to label people that they don’t like as domestic terrorists thanks to the Patriot Act, and they would go after and prosecute parents that wanted to stop porn in schools, Randy, if you want to have a discussion about abuse of authority and or a data breach. No, this is making sure that taxpayer dollars are being wisely spent. The grift is up, Slicks. Yeah. Grift is up, you musty moomoos. So I’m just going to quote Emanuel Cleaver forever. Stop that language. All Family Pharmacy. I have been recommending this website to so many people legitimately because I’m a customer and I really love what they do.

SPEAKER 07 :
So, University of South Australia researchers have found that Minecraft plays a significant role in shaping children’s development, social interactions, and cognitive learning. Now, There’s some issues with the company that does it. It’s been getting super ridiculously woke, unfortunately. And that’s incredibly sad because it is an amazing homeschool tool. It really is an amazing homeschool tool. And I also learned a lot about geology, I gotta say. So, I love it and hate it all at the same time. Right? It’s really… I don’t know. Also, I gotta get to this one immediately. Texas game wardens bust a dude who used a porta potty that he converted into a deer blind. The warden said he was charged and they removed the stand from the property. It… It’s like a plastic porta potty. And the guy like spray painted it gray and black and green to hide it. And it was. Yeah, it was in Henderson County in East Texas. And they were investigating because apparently they couldn’t find the guy for the. I’m going to break your phone. They couldn’t find the guy. He converted this porta potty and I guess he moved it out, you know. So they set up a camera on the property line and then first day of deer season he showed up and it showed him. They, you know, got a stand in and he admitted that he was hunting, I guess, without permission or whatever. So he was charged and removed the blind from the property. That’s actually a brilliant idea. I got to say, I’m kind of sad I ever thought of it myself. A Sydney restaurant owner was told to censor her profanity-laced fortune cookies after a factory mix-up. The wrong restaurant got the rude ones. So she was going to get regular ones, but apparently this Vietnamese restaurant got ones that were really offensive. And customers were like opening the cookies and it was really they were like really nasty stuff. So she was like, you know, she told the company it was their error. They got to make it right. They’re fighting over it. We have more in store, including Trump. Is well, he’s going after Reuters. He’s saying you got to return nine million dollars in payment for a social deception study.

SPEAKER 08 :
And on trade, I have decided, for purposes of fairness, that I will charge a reciprocal tariff, meaning whatever countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them. No more, no less. In other words, they charge us a tax or tariff, and we charge them the exact same tax or tariff. Very simple. nobody knows what that number is unless you go by the individual country. You can see what it is if you go to the individual country and you look at what they’re charging us. In almost all cases, they’re charging us vastly more than we charge them, but those days are over.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, where’s the lie? By the way, I like how they did the office. It’s nice. And can I also add really quickly, before I get back to the meat and potatoes of this, isn’t Trump the first president where they didn’t I think in 2016, this was the same too. I don’t remember Melania going in there and ordering all new carpets and all new drapes. Like Michelle Obama did that and Jill Biden did that and Melania Trump was the only one who didn’t do it. They were like, let’s look at what we can refurbish and what’s in storage and let’s switch some things out and refresh it. They did not spend taxpayer money buying all new everything, which is kind of typically what’s done. I always thought that was real nice and they didn’t do it this time either. Notice how there aren’t any articles about that. If you go back and look, every single time there’s a new administration, that’s been done and they didn’t do that because they’re like, this is perfectly fine. So they bring things in, they rotate some stuff out of storage, they work with the… It’s like a society that… uh helps deal with the antiquities that are in the white house uh and the uh everything from the drapes like the textiles the tapestries the rugs all of it so i’ve just i just noted that because i like how they have the uh oval office decorated anyway that’s the president that was just a little earlier actually right i think it was right before we went to air and it makes sense because the u.s i i i I really feel like some of my capital L libertarian friends need to just like chill, take a breather for a second. I understand what you’re saying about tariffs, although Smoot-Hawley, which we’re going to dive into at some point here in the next several days of broadcast, didn’t actually work out. I mean, it actually lowered inflation if you really want to go back and look at some of that. But I understand what he’s saying. I also understand about the fear as it pertains to tariffs. But when I think he’s really using it as a tool of leverage to to make it fairer and more favorable to the U.S., which is what you should want because it isn’t the way it is right now. We are getting hammered by every other country, every other port unfairly. Like we get upcharged the U.S. price, right? It’s not free and fair trade. And I don’t know why people insist in saying that it is when the United States is the one that gets super taxed more so than everybody else. And whenever we try to fight against that and say, hey, can we make it more equal? People grasp their pearls and they pretend to faint. They fall down and they start screaming and they say that that’s unfair and that’s a trade war. No, the trade war is treating the number one economy in the world. The trade war is treating the country that they demand come in guns blazing every time they got a problem. Like it’s the redheaded stepkid. And treating it poorly. Treating us like, you know, we’re second class. Demanding that we pay more just because of who we are. That’s discriminatory. Why in the hell is that not considered the trade war? So no, I have zero issue with him leveraging this for, I know the left loves this, a fairer and more equitable treatment. See, Cain? Look, we like that. Yeah, look, it’s lying. Yeah. So welcome back. Dana Lash. I wanted to touch on this story with you. Trump is demanding that Reuters return $9 million in payments from the Pentagon for what they call the social deception study. It was a contract filed under the Pentagon’s professional scientific and technical service and research and development programs it’s a subsidiary of thompson reuters corporation that’s the parent company for reuters the news agency and clearly the connection to reuters is what immediately set off alarms because it’s a major contract and And it’s Thompson Reuters Special Services LLC, a government relations – what does that even mean? Government relations services company, Cain. Falls under the same parent company as Reuters. It’s $9 million.
SPEAKER 18 :
I haven’t heard any justification for the money yet.
SPEAKER 07 :
I haven’t either. I just hear people saying, well, it’s not the same. It didn’t go to Reuters. People are just pointing that out as an aside. We’re wanting to know what this, now here’s what it was spent on. This is what it was listed as. This is, hold on, let me pull this up. Sorry, this is usaspending.gov. I’m going to drop this in Slack for the kids. The money for this, Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC, $9 million for active… Social Engineering Defense, ASED, Large Scale Social Deception. That’s the full name of the thing. Active Social Engineering Defense, Large Scale Social Deception. Kane, you got any way to spin that for me? Just to…
SPEAKER 18 :
No, I’m looking at it now. I’ve only seen the screenshots and you shared the actual link, so I’m actually able to see a little bit more than the screenshot was showing. I mean, that is… If you look down about a quarter of the way down the page and there’s a graph that shows the contract activity, look at the level it was back in 2018 and now the level it is now.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, it’s a lot.
SPEAKER 18 :
It was about a milli back in 2018.
SPEAKER 07 :
So the Active Social Engineering Defense, ASED, it’s supposed to develop, and I’m reading off of DARPA. This is the military site. Develop core technology to enable capability to automatically identify, disrupt, investigate social engineering attacks, detecting attacks, intervening in communications between users and potential attackers, coordinating investigations into the source of the attacks, et cetera, et cetera. I’ve got major… problems Lorraine’s written about this before she said it’s a contract that DARPA wanted to learn how to prevent people from getting scammed I will say it does seem to be a lot more than that though in a way but and because of the other stuff that’s it’s because it’s even more so than that they Kristi Noem said that she’s trying to fight to get $59 million back from some of this, like FEMA and else. You also have this contract. Let’s see. There’s a note on one of the contracts stating that some of the funding that was provided, and this is usaspending.gov, that it was 2020 and beyond, that it was related to COVID-19 and included… disaster emergency fund code defc in which means that it was distributed in an emergency capacity it’s yeah this is weird now lorraine is a piece that’s up at substack right now chapter and verse under politico got paid from usaid and other government agencies and she writes about This this contract and how this it’s an award, Thompson Reuters Special Services to the DOD. And she’s saying that it looks like, well, because we know that Thompson Reuters, that service, it’s a you have a huge corporation of which Reuters is part. And she was saying that DARPA wanted to find ways to prevent people from being deceived by. I still don’t know if I trust it because the way that it’s written, when it wants to intervene, and here’s why I say that, when they want to intervene in social interactions between users and whatever, hackers, think of it like this. There were a lot of criticisms when we passed the Patriot Act because of the level of scrutiny and the erosion of protections for private citizens, right? And all of those warnings kind of, all of the concerns about that kind of came to fruition in front of the nation back when the FBI then began to tag and collect data on parents speaking out at school board meetings, even collecting stuff about their cars in the parking lot. You guys remember this? And they were labeling them as potential domestic terrorists and they were using the authority to do so. And the dissolution of that firewall between the people they’re investigating and citizens that may be ancillary to that, they used all of that as the way to do it and justify it. And so clearly that was a big concern. That’s why I have concern about this because of the way, at least that it seems written. Why then couldn’t they say, oh, well, this allows us to do that. And we believe that if they think, remember, they were just literally classifying the truth as disinformation prior to the last election. And now, you know, truth is tops again. I just get really nervous about letting the government have such abilities to no matter who’s in charge, because the power changes. I mean, I don’t feel like I’m being unnecessary. What am I thinking of? Paranoid. I’m not being paranoid. Just because we have so many examples of the government far beyond, like far exceeding the purpose and the scope of an allowance granted to them for one certain thing. And so that’s why I’m like, I just this is one of those things where I don’t. And they can’t say what the money really was used for. It’s like very vague, spooky sound and stuff. Right.
SPEAKER 18 :
If you look at the executive compensation, you can see where a lot of it went to, though. I mean, that’s our only clue as to where we know any of this money went.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, that’s really not a surprise. That’s not a surprise. And then we got the gold bar thing. Did you guys hear about this? Jeez, that’s EPA. We were talking a little bit about that. I didn’t know that this was a thing. $20 billion in gold bars. I didn’t know that. An EPA manager had said that he was metaphorically dropping gold bars off the Titanic and they were trying to get stuff out to their NGO buddies. Lee Zeldin said that the EPA literally, they were tossing $20 billion of gold bars. They said they found them and they’re recovering them. They wanted to get the money that they had out so Trump couldn’t use it. I’m not even kidding you. $20 billion in actual gold bars in a bank vault. This is clearly, I think what we’ve been able to see is that this is not a one-off thing. This has been the standard operating procedure for all of these entities for who knows how long. I didn’t even know about this until like late last night when I was reading about it. I’m like, I’m sorry. What? Like actual gold traceable bars. And Zeldin traced it and is fighting to get it back. That’s… And to brag openly like these government workers did about… Trying to move all this money out of their coffers before Trump got into office. So Trump can’t appropriate it or use it or whatever. That’s like it seems maliciously criminal. Criminally malicious, maybe right.
SPEAKER 18 :
Only because we found it.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, hell, what else do we not know? Think about this. Twenty billion dollars. And they did this in a matter of, they were trying to offload this in a matter of weeks, guys. Weeks. I couldn’t spend $20 billion in weeks. Think about it. If you had to spend $20 billion, I don’t even know what I would spend it on. Little cows? Miniature cows? I don’t even know. I just don’t have that kind of like thinking apparently. But think about how all of this think about all this money, like the charging stations.

So Kane was telling me our favorite trash post site. So Kanye and that Bianca lady are getting a divorce. Shocker. Who saw this coming from a mile away? Yeah. Everybody did. I don’t understand. He’s supposed to be mentally ill, but I don’t know. I also think he’s probably a little indulgent. And seems like a brat. He’s acting like a brat. I guess this means no more gospel albums, Kanye. Dude, when he came out with that album, the gospel album, that was a great album. That was one of his best albums. It was innovative. I don’t know what happened to him. I don’t know, man. It’s… This is so disappointing. This is also why you don’t rush to make people your cultural messiah. Remember when you had people on the right, grifters on the right, that were like, oh, we want to be BFFs and all. That’s why you got to give people a little time. Just make sure. But, you know, people want immediate satisfaction. It’s all for clicks. I don’t know. I hope he gets help or Jesus, something. All right. Today’s stupidity came. Sorry.

SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, this is the interesting thing for Trump.
SPEAKER 18 :
What the hell is he talking about agreeing with her? We got the CPI data yesterday. We saw the core inflation numbers. We saw what the Biden administration did.
SPEAKER 07 :
Why are you talking so much sense? Stop it.
SPEAKER 18 :
I can’t. They left a mess.
