Political discourse takes center stage in this episode, with an analysis of current party strategies and rhetoric. We explore the Democratic campaigns’ approaches, focusing on their grassroots efforts and the increasing inclusion of influencers in political narratives. Our conversation further critiques the perceived lack of vision within the political arena, offering insights into potential impacts on forthcoming elections.

SPEAKER 13 :
National Security Advisor has taken full responsibility for this and the National Security Council is conducting an in-depth review along with technical experts working to determine how this reporter was inadvertently added to this chat. The conversation was candid and sensitive, but as the President and National Security Adviser stated, no classified information was shared. There were no sources, methods, locations, or war plans that were shared. This was a standard update to the National Security Cabinet that was provided alongside updates that were given to foreign partners in the region.
SPEAKER 14 :
You know, I was really thinking about this when I was watching day two of talking about the same thing that we talked about yesterday. And tomorrow is probably going to be us talking about the same thing that we talked about the day before. And the next day and the next day is that Jeffrey Goldberg. And I know I’ve got colleagues that are remarking upon his professionalism and the way that he laid this out, et cetera, et cetera. Gag me. It was dropped. If he was such a professional about it. he would have released it when he got it. He wouldn’t have sat on it and timed it to be perfectly released at the moment, like the evening, like right before we were doing these hearings. So when I have people… And I’ve had people, you know, in email and I’ve talked to some of my, you know, some of my friends that work in the press that are like-minded. They’re saying, oh, well, you know, I mean, that was a big story for him to have and, you know, et cetera, et cetera. But it really… No, it’s it’s not because there was nothing there that there was nothing there. The war plans, the war plans that he said that he claimed were leaked. I mean, I’m looking at he said he was going to leak more and we’re going to talk more about this. But I was really thinking about this today as I watched all of this, that this was really timed to coincide. Exactly with this hearing today. And it’s all they’re talking about. It’s the only thing that’s the only question that they’re being asked about. Although I will say the other, I think, topic that they discussed and that the press kind of ran away from. is how Signal was pretty much added. That’s something that they had. It’s something that they added. It’s not this big… They didn’t do what Hillary did and use this unsanctioned service or facilitator to have these conversations. I mean, the software, the app was directly loaded onto their stuff. And that was done, apparently. And that’s what Ratcliffe said. He was like, yeah, this was all I had all this. I had all this stuff. All of this stuff here. CIA was was added to my computer. He said that that was in yesterday’s hearing. So, you know, I’ve got a lot of questions, and I’m sure the American people do as well, about all this, because I feel like they’re really trying so hard, the left, to get a scalp. And like I said, the timing of this is just all so questionable. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. Day 11,000. It’s almost as bad as, like, how 1923 is lately. The show where Spencer’s coming home, episode 5,000. Spencer, the whole thing is just Spencer coming home. You haven’t seen it, so you don’t understand this reference. But it’s very much like that. It’s very much that whole dragged out everything. So this is one of the top stories that we’re discussing today. And like I said, we’re going to get into all of this. It’s just so mind-numbingly idiotic because instead of talking about serious issues, Nat Sec issues. We’ve got to sit here and fart around with this stuff. I mean, honestly, I do think that some of the defense from certain, I don’t want to say surrogates because not all of them are surrogates, but certain people within the Trump camp, I think they got to get better at messaging this stuff because pretty much all you have to do is go out and say, okay, yeah, it was an error. It was an error. That’s all it was. And move on. So we’re going to get into this. We’re going to get into a bunch of other stuff as well. I also have some cultural things. We’ve got to get into some of the what we can expect with Congress. And then, of course, the whole Jasmine Crockett thing, because she clapped back. I hate the phrase clapped back. I hate the phrase clap back. So I don’t know why. How did that get to be a thing? I don’t know. I don’t know how it got to be, but it is. She had responded on X. She responded on X. First off, let’s play Audio Somebody 12. This is Greg Abbott, who we can’t get on the show anymore for some reason. I don’t know. Maybe if we just, you know, can’t get on the show. I mean, Governor, come on. We got a lot of people here that are interested in hearing from you. This is what he had to say on Fox 12.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, Sean, this is another day in another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate. And Americans are not buying it. It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red and why Republicans are going to continue to win elections across the country.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s true. I mean, Dave, I mean, it’s true. We’re going to talk about this, too. We’re going to dive into it. But the hearings, that’s the thing, the top thing ongoing. What are we not hearing in this, though? I feel like there’s a lot of issues that we could be discussing here. in these intelligence hearings. And they’re instead using them as a way to rage. And it’s like two minutes later, I’m watching it. They were questioning Gabbard earlier today. Are they just trying to get them with their stories not straight? Because it’s the same damn questions. I watched like an hour of them asking the same stuff. An hour after this. This was, audio is done by 25, John Ratcliffe. Oh, we came in with that, yeah. Ratcliffe has been doing a great job, I think, in answering some of this stuff.
SPEAKER 05 :
Cut 26 is what he was referring to. Yes, yes, yes. He called Jeffrey Goldberg a liar because Jeffrey Goldberg said this.
SPEAKER 19 :
There’s a covert CIA operative named on the thread, right? Well, yes, and I withheld her name from this. They named somebody who’s an active CIA officer in this thread, which is on Signal, again, a commercial app in which I’m watching. And I withheld it. I didn’t put it in the story because she’s undercover. But, I mean, the CIA director put it into the chat.
SPEAKER 14 :
That you weren’t supposed to be part of. What? That he thought. So Goldberg’s like, well, you know, but then he did. Did you see everything that he released that he put out this morning? He still released everything this morning. Look. He sat on this to make it a story and timed it purposely to come out with the hearings today. So that was one. Two, he released everything else today. This transcript of all of this stuff, all this transcript. He released this. And I… The Valerie Plame, the reason I said he’s trying to Valerie Plame this, because the person that they’re referencing is someone who works… on John Ratcliffe’s staff at the CIA. Now, yes, if you work at the CIA and you’re a staff member of the director of the CIA, I’m sure that at points you are going to have access to information that might be privileged or classified, which is a very different thing from intimating as Goldberg was doing here in the audio that we just played. It’s a very different thing Than what he’s intimating, which is to be an active, an active agent in the field. Like you are in the middle of operations. You have assumed a different cover and you are. What’s the movie? Oh, my gosh. What’s the movie? The Mission Impossible. Your mission impossible in it. That’s not what’s happening here. This is like what they did with Valerie Plame. How many of you guys remember that story? I remember it well because it’s when I started radio. It was the first big story that I did. The first big story when I started radio on October 28th of 2008, right before the elections. Do you remember that, Kane, that big story? They were acting like Republicans murdered Valerie Plame. She was alive and living and she was a pencil pusher. Valerie Plain was not like an active agent that was undercover. She was a pencil pusher and she was name checked in this column. It was a big deal. Long story short, Democrats lied and said that her cover was blown by the previous administration, which was not true. I mean, you can have your criticisms of the Bush admin, but, you know, breaking Valerie claims cover is not one of them. And she kept saying in subsequent interviews how she wished that she could go, you know, still do her job and go back and et cetera. But then she and her husband, who I think has passed since then, Joe Wilson, she and her husband had they did this huge photo shoot together. And I’m trying to remember the photographer, but not any leave of it. It was a very famous photographer. Maybe it was. They did this huge cover, this photo shoot for Vanity Fair. And it was the two of them in a convertible. And she had a straw hat. It was like this carefree life. Like, look, all these Republicans threw this at us and we’re living our best life. Is that something that you would do if you were hoping to return to duty? know as like a literal undercover agent would you would you be doing photo shoots like that kane is that is that something typical that people who work in intel and you know go on these operations and embed is they do big fancy shoots with vanity fair right no they don’t oh unless they’re super confident in their plastic surgeon or their masks Oh, interesting. I’m just fascinated by all of this. So I remember all that. Her husband, if you remember, was the guy, one of the guys, he wrote this thing. It was all about the enriched uranium. I’m not litigating all of this because I will literally gnaw my own hands off if I do. I covered it for weeks because Democrats made it such a big deal. They wanted heads to roll. They’re trying to Valerie Plame this whole thing. So Ratcliffe, and this is what we came in with, he’s he’s. in his own way, is correcting the intimation by Goldberg because Goldberg has absolutely stretched the truth before and just made up things out of the ether. That’s not really up for debate, particularly if you are at all whatsoever familiar with any of the reporting that he’s done. I think the biggest lie that he made was the Trump Cemetery thing where he said that Trump didn’t want to go visit World War II veterans at the French Cemetery. It was raining and he just didn’t think it was… And it was completely false. It was totally false. So they’re doing all of this theater for what purpose? I am past… being outraged at them for feigning outrage at something. I want to know what they’re trying to hide. Or is it just something as simple as they think in their misguided opinion that they have something and they’re just going to aggravate the hell out of Americans with it and hope that does the trick? Otherwise, what else are they? They knew that if they drop this the night before these hearings began, that the hearings, which are going to be on C-SPAN, that everybody would be watching this and they could litigate it multiple hours throughout subsequent days in front of the American public. Tell me you cannot tell me that there isn’t coordination with the press. I think the biggest question isn’t so much. Why did Mike Waltz have Jeffrey Goldberg in his context? But who coordinated the launch of this story with Jeffrey Goldberg on the Democrat side? That’s the big question we have. Much more to unpack today.

Is Bernie really grassroots or another presidential push? Bernie and AOC have gone on a full propaganda gamut blitz for their fundraising rallies.

SPEAKER 05 :
They want you to panic.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m deleting this headline. I’m going to share it with you. You know why? Because it’s all about getting you to freak out over stuff that hasn’t even been solidified yet. That’s all it is. America’s confidence in the economy hits a multi-year low. The press has constantly been telling you to freak out is mystified as to why this is happening. Wow, it’s amazing. A massive study of 40 countries shows that America is an outlier. Who the hell are these headlines?
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s our press.
SPEAKER 14 :
I hate these people. An outlier in the worst way. They have so much freedom, so many other things. It’s crazy. Melania Trump’s wedding dress is for sale on eBay. I’m actually curious. It’s a Christian Dior dress. Oh, it’s $46,000. Yeah, there’s a lot of material in that dress. Yes, ma’am. A lot of material in that dress and a lot of bead work. Yeah, that sounds about right. That sounds about right for what it is. 23andMe, they went down. Customers are struggling to delete data. I’ve turned down sponsors for the show that wanted to do this stuff because I don’t believe in sending your DNA to a company where they can just keep it and do God knows what with it.

And to be clear, free speech is not about whatever it is that y’all want somebody to say. And the idea that you want to shut down everybody that is not Fox News is bull . We need to stop playing because that’s what y’all are doing in here. You don’t want to hear the opinions of anybody else. And the Constitution says Congress shall make no law respecting or establishing Of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the… The gentlewoman’s time has expired.
SPEAKER 14 :
The gentlewoman’s time has expired. Hmm.
SPEAKER 12 :
Madam Chair, one quick.
SPEAKER 14 :
Vulgarity isn’t a substitute for wit. That’s, I think, first and foremost. And I love that this is where… democrats are they they think that they don’t need to have better policies they because their base they their base is like you guys aren’t being violent and ridiculous enough so you need to do it more and so democrats are like okay i know what we’ll do instead of like coming up with policy that shows how much we’re listening to our base and how much we’re doing what we’re actually going to do is cuss meanwhile everybody’s going what Sorry, excuse me, what? You’re going to what? Yes, we’re going to cuss. That’s what we’re going to do instead of doing anything else that’s like good with regards to policy. They’re trying to be edgy and stupid people think edgy is dropping like the BS and F-bomb. Now, look, my vice in life is having a colorful vocabulary. It is not my fault that there were so many members of our naval services, our Navy in our family. I blame our sailors. And the daughters, my mother that they raised. So I’m just saying that, you know, I come I come by it honest, but that’s my only vice in life. But I’m not to that extent. Democrats, though, they think that it is actually not just a substitute for wit, but policy as well. So they came up with yesterday I shared with you. And if you actually pull this up, because I had a whole separate thing on our newsletter right about this. That gets into the amount of money. Well, how worried Democrats are and the amount of money that they’re looking at dumping into these upcoming races, which we’re going to talk about, because, you know, Democrats only need to flip three House seats in midterms in order to take control of House. You guys know this, right? All Democrats have to do coming up in midterms is to flip three House seats, and they got the House. And they’re targeting 14 different districts. One of the things that the DNC has done is they’ve created a PAC called Win Them Back, and they’ve dumped $50 million into it already. And there’s way more to come. But this PAC, what they’re doing is they’re sending people – it’s like more of the Bernie Sanders AOC summer concert series – And they are also paying influencers. So if you thought the influencer thing was insufferable the first time around, just wait, because there’s more of it. They’re going to get they’re going to have more. They are going to be paying influencers, content creators, all of this stuff. They’re going to try to convince people that Democrats have done something differently to win people back when the reality is that they haven’t. They’re trying to make a play to get that blue collar worker back, the middle class voter, because they can’t win another election without them. And I think that they’ve given up on Hispanic Americans and because, you know, Hispanics, Hispanic Americans won’t stop loving Jesus. So they got to give up on them. So they’ve been I mean, that’s why I’m saying natural allies. So they are targeting the blue collar middle class voter. And that’s what they are. They think that this is all of this is going to work together to convince people to vote for Democrats. So they’ve got this win them backpack. And they’re just kind of funny. They think that the way to go about this is quite literally to go out and just start cussing at everybody. Now, I first told you before everybody else yesterday that Jasmine Crockett, when she was making all of, you know, because she’s she’s clapped back. I hate this phrase. I’m saying it because that’s how the headlines are. Oh, she’s clapping back. Democrat Princess Jasmine Crockett. We first we were the first ones to tell you yesterday that she has a history of this. She has a history. So I’ve had someone ask me, well, you know, she’s just making a joke. So don’t you think that, you know, aren’t conservatives getting a little sensitive? I think that you need to redefine what you think a joke is. These people who use this excuse, if that’s your measure of humor, you suck. Like as a human, you’re horrible and I never want to be around you. If you think that that kind of stuff counts as a joke, then you’re too dumb to talk to. And I hope that someone out there is offended and turns me off because my gosh, I don’t want any association with any brain matter that practices such stupid logic. I mean, seriously, there did you see some of them yesterday, Kane? Some people supposedly on our side like, oh, well, there would be one thing if she had said this like one time and was making not a joke that like to purposely jab at him. But if it was just you guys understand the context, I don’t. It’s very difficult to explain the abstract to stupid people like the ones who defend this as humor. It’s not humor because it’s not funny. That’s like saying SNL is funny. People who say this is humorous, those people are murdered comedy. They’ve murdered humor. They’ve murdered intellect. They’ve murdered smart discourse. She has repeatedly done this. She has tweet after tweet after tweet. She has reposted numerous tweets. She has liked numerous tweets. I mean, multiple years of making fun of Greg Abbott for him not, you know, heaven forbid, it’s all his fault, right? A tree fell on him and broke his back when he was 26 years old. He was not able to walk anymore. He had to rely up on a wheelchair. And that’s where that’s why he’s in a wheelchair today. She has been making fun of him for this for a long time. So I think people I get really mad when I see people say, well, isn’t that it’s not actually the same thing because she’s doing it on purpose designed to make a jab at him specifically because of his inability to walk. Now, again, and I’m going to say this one last time because these people have enraged me. I get that these people are stupid and they have to be baby walked into this explanation. And I know don’t waste your time. Let me do it for you because you have busier things and more important things to attend to. But it’s not a joke. And again, she’s done this repeatedly as we were the first people to tell you yesterday afternoon. She’s done this quite a lot. Not only that, but can she stop pretending that she’s ghetto? She’s not ghetto. That’s like Trump going out and pretending that he’s a redneck. She’s not ghetto. Okay? If you send me hate mail, I will print it out and run it over with my Segway. And then I’m going to take it to the range and blow holes in it with some birdshot. Promise you. She acts like she’s like a street queen. Again, I made mention of this last night. If you sign up to the newsletter of her chapter and verse, you have the full story. I grew up in St. Louis. Missouri’s my home state. And she and I are about the same age, which shocks me because she seems way more immature. She went to school and is from an area that is very affluent. Jasmine Crockett grew up way the hell richer than I or Kane or most of you could imagine. She attended the most… elite, exclusive, expensive school that you could go to in the whole state of Missouri. It’s Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School in St. Louis, just colloquially, M-I-C-D-S. And it is a school where, I mean, every politician’s kids went there. Politicians’ kids went there. Business owners, CEOs, all their kids went to MICDS. Famous people, their kids went to MICDS. The athletes, they went to MICDS. My very first job as a lowly reporter was to do a profile piece on an up-and-coming performer in St. Louis for a magazine, and this performer had attended MICDS. And they were doing an event at their school, their alma mater. And they had, it was like, you know, not a field trip. What am I thinking of, Cain? Like they had an expo or something at the school where this performer was answering questions and all of this. Assembly? Thank you. Assembly. Yeah, when everybody gets into the gym. Dude, have you ever been into MICDS? Now, Cain’s from St. Louis, too. You know MICDS very well. Have you ever been into that school? Dude. Dude. Everything is top notch. It is less like a school and it honestly seemed like a resort when I went in. I’m not even going to talk about like the food court cafeteria thing. I’m not even going to touch on that. The… Area where we had this assembly. I have never been in like a theater. Like they had their own theater. Then they had their own state-of-the-art gym. They had all of this stuff. They had like super plush, cushy, bougie seats. And it was just a really, it smelled like money when you walked in. And I drove up in my beat-up car. And I’m doing, you know, this profile. I was, what, 22 years old. Doing this profile on this performer. And oh, my gosh, the school was so bougie. This school for is is pretty much the equivalent for tuition. I think it’s. I mean, it’s like a college, you know, just give me let me see. You had all the John Danforth went there. So John Danforth was an M.I.C.D.S. grad. Right. Everybody knows John Danforth. He was a senator. Pete Wilson, who was the senator, governor of California. Pete Wilson went to M.I.C.D.S. Do you guys remember the McCluskey dude who was out in his front yard with his gun? He was an MICDS grad. And he lived in that big old fancy house there in downtown. Joe Buck went to MICDS. The famed broadcaster went to MICDS. Vincent Price. Everyone knows Vincent Price, right? One of the greatest ever. He went to MICDS. This is like this is their who’s who. All of these people. T.S. Eliot went to M.I.C.D.S. You also had I’m trying to think of some of the other people. I mean, everybody who was everybody went to M.I.C.D.S. Republicans, Democrats, communists, socialists. It didn’t matter. Everybody went to M.I.C.D.S. Betty Grable. She didn’t graduate, though, because I was around like but she went to M.I.C.D.S. Everybody went there. All these, like the CEO of Sotheby’s went to MICDS. So you kind of get an idea. MICDS also, and I’m not running down the school. I’m just letting you know perspective here. Because I think if you’re going to cosplay ghetto, then let’s like look at the full story. Because that’s part of her identity, right? Like Poop Booty Juice being gay and having a baby is all his identity. He can’t do anything without reminding you that he’s gay. Just do the damn job. But, you know, we don’t live in that world anymore. But this school also in St. Louis, they had… Do they still call it the Veiled Prophet Ball?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, the VP Fair.
SPEAKER 14 :
So way back when, yeah, they used to have the VP Fair. And that was the big 4th of July thing that they had in downtown St. Louis. And it was called the VP for Veiled Prophet. Well, Cain, the prophet… I don’t know. I… I’d make a joke about it, but people will get upset because, you know, the people who say that conservatives take things too literally. If I made a joke about somebody being in a hood, the left would lose their minds like they’ve done before. But I’m just going to say the veiled prophet. And I’ve written stories on this kind of looked a little clansy. I’m not saying it was on purpose or that they I’m just saying it was, you know, this that all of this. I’m going to bring this tugboat to shore. All of this got started back when they had strikes in the day, the railroads and the east side, all that stuff. And they had this big thing, bread and circus. Right. That’s how this whole thing came to be. Anyway, they would have all these debutantes. There was one chick who was on the office or was on the office or somebody, an actress who was a debutante in the VP ball. And they found out and she got in a lot of trouble because of the history of the VP thing. So that’s where all the debutantes, the socialites of St. Louis get together. If you actually look at where all those people go to school, like everybody goes to either John Burroughs or MICDS. Those are the, you know, John Burroughs is like number two. MICDS is one. So this is where Jasmine Crockett grew up. She grew up in the lap of privilege. She went to and graduated from MICDS. She was at Rosati Cain for a while, but she graduated from MICDS. So she never, she wasn’t in public education. She lived in the nicest parts of town. She went to the nicest schools. I couldn’t even afford to even look around except as a job at MICDS. So Jasmine Crockett, the only piece she knows is privilege, not poverty. The only streets Jasmine Crockett knows are the streets that she drove through to get to her country day school. That’s it. So stop acting, stop cosplaying like you’re street. That’s such a racist and bigoted view of your voting bloc. And I’m not the only person saying this. There are a lot of black moderates and black conservatives and everyone is like, why is she why is she like cussing and acting like she’s going to fight everybody now? Is that what she thinks her voting bloc wants and her voting bloc? By the way, I hope if you are a black politician, you think that you’re representing more than just black Americans. You’re representing black and white Americans, you know, not your your your district of the elected seat in which you hold is more than just that. But this idea that she’s, I think if you’re going to represent yourself like that, you need to be authentic. Stop transing up your identity. Now, she has no excuse for this behavior. But she is trying to throw elbows because she wants a seat at the table of this attention economy. This is what politics have devolved to. And the right is no stranger to it. Just the left invented it. They’re throwing elbows trying to get some of this attention economy. I don’t know what all this is going to look like in four years because I just don’t know how much lower you can go. We are already ridiculous. Where’s the bottom? Is there a bottom with us? I don’t know. But this idea that Democrats have, I don’t want to dissuade them because I think it works in our favor. Their voting base believes that they’re still the same voting base that they were 10 years ago, where most moderate Democrats would turn their heads and look the other way when their base. Well, it wasn’t even their base at that time. They were just like on the outside. They were on the periphery. Now they are the base because Democrats never had the brass to stand up to them. But I think that they still believe that they have the numbers. They don’t. They are more unpopular than at any point in American history. I don’t know how far back they measure this. I would think being that they were the ones who backed slavery, that would probably be where they’re most unpopular. I’m not sure. Our partners that help bring you the program.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 01 :
There’s nothing more American than PBS. As a membership organization, our local service is at the heart of our work. Our job at PBS is to support our stations so that local stations can serve their communities. We’ve been proudly fulfilling our mission for nearly 60 years using the public airwaves and other technologies to help educate, engage, and inspire the American people. That mission is our guide star and remains just as important today as when the Public Broadcasting Act was signed into law in 1967. I’m done with these people already.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t understand why they consider themselves the support for stations. Stations are their own support.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, you don’t need to give any kind of support for that. And we’ve got a really good… uh chairman fcc yeah we’ve got a really good chairman today and today days of these united states Nothing more American than PBS. I think so. I think there’s a lot of things that are way more American than PBS. I’m just saying out loud. We have a lot more on the way. Second hour. Stick with us. All family pharmacy.

It’s, well, who is this lawmaker? I dropped it. Whoa, I put it in. I put it in audio. Where did I put it in? I don’t even remember anymore. Oh, I dropped it in somewhere. We got started talking about the Ark of the Covenant. There’s a headline. Anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this one Democrat lawmaker on the floor of the House is like – I get – how did the memo – was there a memo that went out that told Democrats, look, every other word, we need you to say BS? Because so far there’s a handful of them that have done this just in the past several days. It’s like they’re trying to work it in there, and you can tell – You can tell the people who don’t, you know, who are playing there. These are really bad actors. They don’t give awards for this, like bad acting in D.C. They ought to. So now you have another lawmaker who is on the floor of the house yelling and hollering or screaming about some hearing deportation. But she dropped like some B.S. And I can’t play because it’s so not even remotely important. Censored.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know what it’s like? It’s like whoever’s handling comms for the Dems are just making these blanket suggestions like, you know, you need to be out there. Be a little more meaner.
SPEAKER 14 :
I really want to play this so bad, but I can’t look it fine. Apparently she said it repeatedly. Oh, she did. She said it’s Democrat Rep Stansberry during a sanctuary hearing. She goes, it’s total BS. Absolute BS. They’re not making America safer. What they’re doing is terrorizing immigrant families. That’s what they’re doing. And I’m Well, these are illegal entrants. These are people who entered illegally. And… No. Why do you… Again, it’s not… Vulgarity is not a substitute for wit. And it’s not a substitute for policy. And it’s not a substitute for truth. Nor is it a substitute for answers or anything of the sort. This is… It’s just quite really just silly. This is… I don’t understand what they’re doing here. No clue what they’re doing. So I… You know, I just feel like… I don’t know. It’s clearly some kind of memo went out. And they’re all they are all saying the same thing. You know, we we need to be more aggressive. Democrats think that they need to be more aggressive. On April 5th. Did you guys hear this? So pull this up. April 5th. Oh, gosh. It’s the National Day of Action where liberal activists are gearing up to unleash chaos. They’re protesting. And it’s called Hands Off National Day of Action, Saturday, April 5th. So like, hands off what? Like what? Hands off our big government. Let it get bigger. Like what is it? It sounds like it’s a day of just them having a tantrum. They don’t even actually get into what they do. They’re just like, yeah, we’re going to go out and we’re going to raise our voices. Yes, we are going to state our truth. On April 5th? For what? It just sounds like it’s just an excuse for them to go and act like fools in the streets. That’s what it is. Have you heard anything about this, Cain? What is the… I’m trying to find particulars on it, but they all have different… Nobody has the… No, nobody. It’s supposed to be global protests. It’s a hands-off protest. Signature event. They love not doing anything but yelling in the streets. They like to be seen as protesting but not actually doing anything. Like this is literally what, this is what it says. Tell me if you, I don’t know. On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message. Hands off. Hands off what? So you’re going to fight people? Don’t make some people’s wish come true. You’re going to fight people? What in the world? Bring a sign in your voice. Yes, because you normally would leave your voice at home. Understood. I mean, I am shocked at this. And then it just says schools, libraries, energy, stuff like that, hands off. I just don’t understand what this means. And then the other people putting in honor of that Soros group. And they’re trying to make that one indivisible group that’s funded by a Soros entity. And they’re trying to make it a big thing. I seriously don’t even know what they’re protesting, Cain. I don’t know. I’m not giving Juan the link or the imagery because I don’t want to promote it. I think it’s the same people who do… I swear to you, it’s like the same people. It seems like the same people who did the Tesla doxing site. Same network. What? Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Same network.
SPEAKER 14 :
So what are they… Cain, any idea? Yeah. What are they protesting?
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, truly, do you want the psychologist-style answer? I’m no psychologist.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, here’s one sentence buried.
SPEAKER 05 :
By the way.
SPEAKER 14 :
Here, wait a minute. Add this to your analysis.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right.
SPEAKER 14 :
Quote, Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re taking everything they can get their hands on, daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message. Hands off. That’s real clear.
SPEAKER 05 :
So clear.
SPEAKER 14 :
Your thoughts, sir?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, my nonprofessional psychologist analysis would say that these people, there’s a level of self-loathing that they have not even recognized themselves. So they live the lives projecting that hate onto others because they have yet to internally look at themselves for their own hate of themselves.
SPEAKER 14 :
I just… Am I close?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, like listen to this. Trump, Musk, and Republicans in Congress are raising prices.
SPEAKER 05 :
On what?
SPEAKER 14 :
Things, Cain, and stuff. Did Moira Rose write this whole website? Trump, Musk, and Republicans in Congress are raising prices.
SPEAKER 05 :
So they were out in the streets then since 2021.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, I mean, prices have been up. It’s so weird, Cain, how prices went up when Joe Biden got in office. That is just a mystery.
SPEAKER 05 :
They didn’t just go up. They went up historically.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Historically.
SPEAKER 14 :
We were number one in raised prices. Number one.
SPEAKER 05 :
That was about the only thing we were number one in.
SPEAKER 14 :
So I don’t, I’m at their website and I know you guys want to see it. I’m not giving it to Juan though, because I don’t want to promote it. Juan’s over here like, why are you doing this to me? And then I noticed at the bottom, you can share all their stuff, but only on blue sky. Blue sky is the thing that all the progressives go on, right? Yeah. That’s what all the progressives go on. So what is the point of a protest? I mean, a protest, if you’re protesting, people would see and go, oh, wow, you make a good point. I’m going to reconsider. But have you seen what they do? They just scare people. It’s like a haunted house, but not in October. Have you ever been to a progressive protest? It’s so weird. Even, again, when I was a dumb college Democrat, and remember, I did not meet a Republican until my freshman year of college. It’s the first time I ever met a Republican in my life. Grew up in a hardcore Democrat family. And when I went up to the city and I was in school, And I went to a progressive protest the first time. It was all manner of weirdness and smelly. So there were dirty hippies and they would play hacky sack. The grossest thing I’ve ever seen in my life is hippies with dirty feet playing hacky sack. And I died. I died and had to be resuscitated and died again. It was so bad. I just all of the things I hate. Tom’s of Maine before Tom’s of Maine existed. You know, white people with dreadlocks, dirty feet, hacky sack, you know, like dumb people. And I don’t even actually know what the protest was. It just kind of looked like a mellow rager. And that’s before they started getting violent. And then as the day went on, then later on is the sunset. That’s when all that’s when the troublemakers came out and then they decided to get violent. And it was real weird. And I didn’t stay because I would have my mother to beat me. But. I never understood that like they I crashed one protest after I started my conversion and someone had a like a not it wasn’t a pinata like a traditional pinata, but they basically had an effigy of Bush that they were hitting with bats and stuff like that. And then after they knocked it down, then they set it on fire in the street. I’m like, well, just in case, you know, he wasn’t dead. He isn’t. It’s just so stupid. But that’s. I don’t know if you were a person that didn’t know what to think about an issue and you were to walk into that. What out of the demonstrations would persuade you to go, oh, that’s a fair point. I’m going to rethink my decision. Nothing. Nobody wants to be like these people. Part of a protest, too, is you’re persuading and you’re hoping to make your position attractive so that other people join you. And none of this does this. I have no idea. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Democrats are adrift. They have no party leader. There’s a power vacuum. But yet still, I mean, if you’ve seen some of these races, though, like, for instance, only Republicans could mess this up. Like Randy Fine in the 6th Congressional District in Florida. I’ll give him kudos, or at least credit, not kudos. I’ll give him credit for coming on the show because his other colleagues are too scared. But that race is a toss-up in a solid red district that Trump took by 30 points because he’s such a bad candidate. That race is now classified as a toss-up. That is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Only Republicans can mess things up for themselves like they’re doing in that district. And remember, all you need for midterms is to flip three seats in order to retake the House, for Democrats to take the House. Can you believe that? I mean, this is so stupid. This is like people that are willing to sink the ship because they can’t be the captain. It’s exactly what this is. So now we’ve got Democrats doing this. And excuse me. In addition, we’ve got the full I’ve been looking at the full chat and I’m done talking about the story after today because I think it’s I think it’s all they got to do is say, yeah, you know what? We messed up. We’re going to we’re going to rectify it and move on. I have half of my friends think Mike Waltz is an idiot and half don’t. There is nobody in the middle. It is a very polarizing issue. And I do disagree, and I like Mike Waltz, and I don’t want to disagree with him. I do, however, I don’t know if we had this when he was on. Fox last night. And I don’t think it was a good hit for him because he was he was acting like audio somebody three. This is particularly it. This was not a good this was not good.
SPEAKER 02 :
Listen, the president expressed complete confidence in you today and his entire cabinet. But how did a Trump hating editor of The Atlantic end up on your signal chat?
SPEAKER 09 :
you know laura i’m not a conspiracy theorist but of all the people out there uh… somehow this guy who has lied about the president who has lied to ghost our families lied to their attorneys uh… and gone to russia hopes gone that just all kinds of links lie and smear the president united states and he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and it’s up to date first off
SPEAKER 14 :
Signal tells you who added who. And when you are the party host, you can see there are always receipts that show who added. So I like Mike Waltz. Mike Waltz added this guy. Or he gave his phone to a staffer and said, use my phone to add him. Because nobody can just get into his account and do it. I have Signal. I use Signal. That’s not how Signal works. So that just wasn’t… I don’t know. I just… I think that… Because he said, well, he somehow got into it. He got sucked into it. Well, just say it was, you know, messed up and added. No, I get and I have some of my friends. I feel like I need more time to talk about this aspect of it. Let me just set this up. I talked about this in my book, Grace Canceled. about admitting or acknowledging a wrong and rectifying it and why it’s not popular to do so anymore, particularly in politics, because it is viewed as surrender. And also, what is the whole purpose of acknowledging a wrong? The whole purpose of acknowledging a wrong is for, at some point, reconciliation. But that’s not what the left has ever wanted. The left, it’s not about reconciliation. It’s about total sheer destruction. They’re not looking for any kind of redemptive arc for you. They just want to destroy you. You can say you’re sorry that you messed up all day long, but that’s irrelevant. That just means you get an extra layer of severity added to your penalty because you admitted it. So nobody why would anybody be incentivized to admit a wrong when reconciliation has never been in the cards here? It’s all about destruction. Then you can see how very strategic this becomes. So I understand my friends who are giving that take. But I also think that they need to balance their view with the reality that our system and Republicans used to not be like this, by the way. This is a new thing for the right. The left made it, but now the right is adopting it to some effect. But even if, even if somebody went out and admitted a wrong, What does that get them as we move our partners that help bring you the program?

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 14 :
Stupid headline. Could salty foods be fueling depression rates? Because, see, we have to throw out of the window the idea that moderation, when ignored, can be bad. But everything in moderation is okay. So you just have to take, you know, miles wide, inches deep. It’s bad. We’re all going to die. Everybody who wears shoes dies at some point. Shoes kill. That’s the conclusion. Great study. San Diego has the first in the nation policy to ban digital-only coupons at grocery stores. That’s a very specific thing to get mad about. And to want to immediately do away with. So they said that if you’re in a San Diego grocery store, they passed the first in the nation policy. So digital only coupons are banned. I hate everything. I can’t believe this is a thing. Grocery pricing, transparency. I don’t care. I really don’t care. You’re in San Diego. You’re in one of the prettiest parts of the world. Shut up. I don’t care. I just don’t care. I’m jealous of your weather. I’m not jealous of your government, so I’m not talking to you right now. They said that everybody’s doing everything they can to stretch their dollars, but grocery chains are turning basic shopping into a rigged game. Oh, here we go. Big grocery. It’s big grocery. California has more EV chargers than gas nozzles. They also have more feces and needles on the ground than anywhere else. Interesting, isn’t it? A man requires medical… No. He got his girlfriend’s hand stuck in his mouth and he had to go to the hospital. This guy. He got his girlfriend’s hand actually stuck in his mouth and he had to go to the hospital. If you guessed, did this happen in China? Yeah. Yeah, it did. I don’t even think we can show that. Juan’s like, oh no, I’m going to throw it out there. Stick with us. You’ve heard me talk about Berna before. I always think it’s good to have a diversified society. implements for self-defense and I’m always going to carry a firearm and I have zero issues using lethal force at all whatsoever to protect myself or my loved ones. So that being said, I’m not able to carry everywhere. I have friends that live in New York and D.C. They’re not able to carry everywhere. They have big kids. They got big kid jobs. They got to go to work and municipal restrictions. You guys know the drill. The Burna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. It’s a good deterrent. And the best selling model is the Burna SD, right? There’s no recoil. There’s no background check. It’s illegal in all 50 states. It doesn’t care about gun free zone signs. And there’s no permits, nothing. It ships right to your door. You can choose your model, the color. There’s different projectiles and accessories there. So for my friends who are barred from their constitutional rights by, you know, working, living and working in D.C. or Manhattan, they do carry burner guns because you guys seen the crime rate for those cities. They don’t want to be left a statistic. You carry blades. You have rifles and pistols. You have all different calibers. It’s good to have diversity. So reevaluate your self-defense plans and options.

Damaging a personal vehicle does not affect Elon. If anything, it’s giving him more money to fix the vehicle that you damaged. It’s not damaging who you’re thinking it is.
SPEAKER 07 :
Just before 6 p.m. on Thursday, Abigail Gill and her family were seated for dinner at Olive Garden. Over an hour later, they left, and what they found waiting for them was shocking. Quite a lot of damage.
SPEAKER 14 :
he keyed this side as well which as you can see this side it even looks like it affected above the tire this is a lot more damage so a disabled woman had her car i’m surprised jasmine crocker didn’t pop up to make fun of her a disabled woman had her car vandalized because her car is a tesla that’s that’s that’s what’s happening now she’s eating having a nice meal at olive garden comes out and her car is busted up, scratched up, all of that because someone didn’t like the fact that she had a Tesla. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Do you realize, too, that when this story first posted, do you know what some of the comments were from the left? They were making fun of her for eating at Olive Garden. Hold up. Aren’t y’all bitching about the cost of eggs?
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
And they’re making fun of her because she’s eating an Olive Garden. Is Olive Garden not good for you Marxists? I thought you guys, I thought you all were part of the proles, right? You’re the proletariat. You’re all down with the little people. She’s eating at Olive Garden. What the hell’s wrong with Olive Garden? I want one of you Marxist snobs to tell me what’s wrong with Olive Garden. They got good salads. I mean, not everybody lives, you know, like by the hill in St. Louis. Sorry. Not everybody lives near Trastevere. I mean, you know, sometimes that might be the only Italian they can get. What’s wrong with an Olive Garden? Nothing. You go and you get a nice meal and it’s reasonably priced. These Marxist snobs are like, can you believe it? That was the first hints to sky. Those were some of the first responses that I saw when people were reacting to this story. The people on the left were mocking her because she was eating an Olive Garden. Oh, Juan’s going off about that fettuccine Alfredo that they got at Olive Garden. It’s the real deal, man. That’s a creamy sauce. It’s delicious. It’s been a minute since I’ve eaten there, but I always like Olive Garden. We had them… I feel like there’s fewer ones down here in Texas than there are in Missouri, Cain.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think that’s accurate. Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
Because I felt like there was an Olive Garden in every city, in every sub-city in St. Louis, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
The salad… Along with the bread is unlimited.
SPEAKER 14 :
Unlimited stick. Unlimited. It’s good. So I don’t know why people are getting mad. So she’s eating an Olive Garden, these snots. I just got really mad about that. They’ve got some good stuff. They’ve got some decent wines, too. You know, I mean, have you a red sauce? Get you a cab? You know, have an infinite stick and some salad?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know about you, but when I’m there, I feel like family.
SPEAKER 14 :
Do you feel like family?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, when I’m there.
SPEAKER 14 :
So weird. I do as well. Isn’t that something? Amazing. Hmm. Yeah, it’s… I don’t know why people get all upset about that. Like, oh, you’re… But that was the first… I mean, I’m not… I mean, like, the first handful of comments when I first saw that posted. So right off the bat, there’s your glaring difference between the right and the left. The left, which is trying so hard to make a play for the blue-collar voter… But then they’re going to make fun of a disabled woman because she’s eating at an Olive Garden and came out and found her Tesla vandalized because she has a Tesla. And they’re making fun of her, not just because her Tesla got there. I mean, I mean, again, Jasmine Crockett’s going to pop up any second, laugh at her. But then they’re like, oh, you’re eating. So they immediately discounted the transgression done to her. Because, and Cain, correct me if I’m wrong, nowhere in the full story does she say, oh, I’m a Republican or I’m a conservative.
SPEAKER 05 :
No.
SPEAKER 14 :
She didn’t even talk about it. Nobody knows what she is.
SPEAKER 05 :
Nope. No stickers on the car. No.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, nothing. They are just like, Tesla, you must be a Nazi. And they immediately, and then they scratch her car up before ironically getting into their Volkswagen and driving off to their eagle’s nest. I mean, I’ve got questions.
SPEAKER 05 :
No one’s accused them of being deep thinkers.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, but they want that blue-collar voter, though.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
But not that one, apparently. You know how many blue-collar people got Teslas? A lot of blue-collar people got Teslas. I mean, everybody that I know who’s blue collar, including a couple of family members, and they’re on the left. I mean, I know people on the left, on the right, and in the middle that own Teslas. The people that bought them initially, they’re like big time. I think they were the most enthusiastic members of that base. Does that make sense? They love EVs and they really do think that that’s where cars are going, right? then those were the early adopters then i think you had the people that loved gadgets and they love the idea of something going that fast that you know that fast that quickly and then you got the people i think there’s sure there are people out there the bottom because they you know they thought you know they liked elon musk and they wanted to support i’m considering buying one literally so i can get into a fight not for any of the other reasons so i don’t know i i just um I think that they’re going to have a lot of problems if this stuff keeps happening. And I do wonder what Republicans are planning in terms of countering this. And I just want to come back for a moment and point out that the biggest threat to Republicans is Republicans. It’s specifically Republicans. inaction on any permanence with regard to economic policy whether it’s tax cut permanency whether it is actually accepting and then putting into action the cuts that doge recommends all of that stuff and if that isn’t done a lot of these people that said you know what this trump is better than biden Trump is better than Harris and they’re going on with it. I feel like they those would be the people that would be convinced to go back the other way. And you got to think of this, too, coming up in midterms. Now, here’s something to take and take into consideration with midterms. So you’ll have, a lot of states have split ticket voting. You’ll have instances where, you know, the guy at the top gets the votes and then people will maybe, you know, they’ll vote Republican top ticket and then Democrat down. And we had that in a number of instances. We’ve had that where actually back in 2020, it was people that would vote blue top ticket and then they would vote like Libertarian or Republican down ticket. So you have to keep that in mind as well. Three seats is all it takes to flip everything from midterms. And If Republicans do not get permanency and you don’t see any actual savings in bank accounts of voters and you it’s one thing to flex it and brag about it on social media, but they need to actually be able to see they need to be able to to actually see this in their bank accounts. If that’s not going to happen. There’s going to be a lot of problems for Republicans and Democrats. Some of them are trying to get in a position to take advantage of that. But the rest of them are just getting in their own way. They’re getting they’re getting in their own way. So it’s I don’t know. But I wanted to because like I said, I’m not going to talk unless something dramatic happens. I don’t want to talk about the signal thing anymore after today because I think people need to move on. I don’t think Mike Waltz needs to do another damn interview. I don’t think anybody needs to say nothing, nothing at all. But I do want to play this because Caroline Leavitt. announced that Musk and his team are going to investigate how Goldberg was added to the group. Now, I know how he was added to the group, but I want to hear what Levitt says, if we can pull this up, because they’re having their White House press briefing right now, actually. And this was one of the things that Walt had said last night in his interview about perhaps getting Musk to investigate how Goldberg was added. Again, he added him. I get that He doesn’t want to say that. And I like Mike Waltz, but I also have Signal and I know how it works. No one is just no one operates into the chat. So that’s I don’t think that helps him by saying this. I think people would be a lot more forgiving on our side if they’re if it was just I think it would blow over easier with our side of moderates. If he was like, you know what? Sometimes this happens. But this is a CIA approved app. This is a messaging because it’s hard. You’re not going to get everybody in the same room. I get that. You’ve got to double check to see who you’re adding. This was Levitt just a little bit ago talking to this. Listen.
SPEAKER 11 :
Previous question from Jennifer. As for your original question about who’s leading, looking into the messaging thread, the National Security Council, the White House Counsel’s Office, and also, yes, Elon Musk’s team. Elon Musk has offered to put his technical experts on this to figure out how this number was inadvertently added to the chat. Again, to take responsibility and ensure this can never happen again.
SPEAKER 14 :
I have two questions one previous question, so it’s I Think I don’t think it will I don’t think that this was a setup and I am of The mindset that, you know, it was, I just think it was a mistake. I don’t think, you know, kind of Occam’s razor. It just seems to me that, you know, the most basic explanation is the correct one. And that’s what it seems like to me. It just seems as though it was an accident. He was accidentally added. Big deal. I mean, they weren’t talking about anything classified. And at one point, Hegseth even said that we’d have to take that to a different platform for discussion. They just want a scalp. That’s all they want. Coming up, one of the things that we’re going to get into is this Supreme Court on ghost gun restrictions, 7 to 2. And I was reading some of this this morning because there was a lawsuit trying to block the implementation of the ATF’s rule on ghost guns. And it was very successful when they went through district court. It was very successful when it was appealed. And now it’s 7-2, led by Gorsuch, who reinstated the federal restrictions curtailing access to kits to that people can assemble into hobbyist firearms. I reject the language that I see used in a lot of these reports, like particularly the New York Times. They said, quote, easily assembled into homemade, nearly untraceable firearms. Well, that’s stupid. And hobbyism, hobbyist builds have been around since before this country. In fact, firearms began as homemade. I mean, it’s just all there is to it. So I do want to add some context onto this before we jump into it. A lot of people have been asking me, well, why didn’t they, why didn’t the second amendment come into this? Why didn’t this, why wasn’t this mentioned? You have to realize that this is about the administrative procedures act with regards to the purview of the gun control act. So it’s not an adjudication of whether or not this particular rule is is legit as it is measured by the Second Amendment. The decision was whether or not it is acceptable under the Gun Control Act. Does the Gun Control Act make allowances for this sort of overreach? And yes, this is why I think the Gun Control Act needs to be repealed, because in order to come to this decision, it comes through the scope of that Gun Control Act. So that is why it was adjudicated the way that it was. It’s not just a simple, well, is it Second Amendment or not? I understand what you’re saying on this. I’m just explaining to you. why it was this decision. It’s very much a procedural thing. We’re going to come back to this. We have Florida man as well on the way as we move.

How do we fix the wounds dividing America? Pastor Alan Jackson has the answer.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, I think the reason we’ve been silent for so long while our country’s been pilfered and pulled apart is all of our groups have gotten little pieces of the pie. And we’re afraid we’re going to have to forfeit our little special side deal, our side hustles. And so we just don’t say anything. But we would all be stronger if we’d come back to the truth.

SPEAKER 04 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 14 :
Sorry. I’m not laughing, but this guy, his photos. It’s a Florida man. He had a Florida man with meth in underwear tells deputy, there’s nothing wrong with drugs. The guy, Thomas Carpenter, was arrested during a traffic stop. He had already served a three-year prison sentence. He was charged with trafficking meth, possession of enough drugs to sell or deliver. They got two counts, possession of blah, blah, blah, prescription, all kinds of stuff. Anyway, so he was pulled over. He had drugs and kids in a car. And he got pulled over and told police, oh, I just smoked some pot. He had a lot more than pot. Lots more than pot. According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, the 41-year-old, oh my gosh, he is not 41. They said they tried to talk to him, but he kept falling in and out of sleep mid conversation. They pull him over for a traffic violation and he kept falling asleep. He told deputies that he and his female passenger accidentally smoked too much pot before they were pulled over. His guy’s 41. Juan showing you his. Is it the tattoos maybe that make him look older? I don’t know. I can’t believe he’s 41. That dude looks like he’s 60. Look how gaunt he is. Well, that’s the meth will do it. Little meth will do it. So they said that neither he nor his passenger had a medical marijuana card. Sure. Two kids in the car at the time. And they found all kinds of stuff, meth, stuff to like distribute meth, things like that. So they’re all in jail. That’s all you need to know. But I can’t believe that guy’s 41 years old. I’m sorry. I’m calling shenanigans on that. I love how we have Tent Man, Florida Man. Tent Man. Okay. Yeah, Tent Man. His camping supplies include… Oh, is that meth? What it looks like in crystal form? I’ve actually never seen it. Look at that. It looks like somebody went in a spelunking in a cave and took out some stones. They look like moon rocks. I have no idea why that fascinates me. Tent Man’s camping supplies include over $2,000 in cash meth and THC gummies. Oh, okay. And he apparently has not a shirt amongst him. He was selling meth from a tent behind a discount store in Fort Pierce.
SPEAKER 05 :
As one does.
SPEAKER 14 :
As one would do. His last name is Hedy. Daniel Hedy with two Ds, of course it is. He was found by his tent shirtless sitting on a Home Depot bucket behind the DQ in a tent selling meth. That works. Yeah, I believe that. Also with no shoes. I love how they just keep adding onto it. They got a search warrant for his tent. I did not know that you had to get him for a tent. I mean, I knew for like a glove compartment. You know, my glove compartment’s locked, so there’s a trunk in the back. I know my rights, so you’re going to need a warrant for that. Okay, so they had to get a warrant for his tent. And that’s where they found all this stuff. They found meth, and they found… Is it illegal to have the gummies? Oh, wait, those are the acid gummies. No, that’s not right. All the pot people are going to die. The THC thingies.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t even know the terms. I think it’s only legal medicinally in Florida, right?
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t know. I don’t. I thought it was just like the CBD thing. OK, so this is the stuff that gets you high. And so and then he had drug paraphernalia. I don’t know. So he’s in jail and his bond is set at a whole fifty one thousand dollars. I love that he was in a tent behind a DQ, shirtless, shoeless, sitting on a Home Depot bucket selling meth. There you go, folks. Third hour on the way.

SPEAKER 13 :
It was a mistake that a reporter was inadvertently added to a signal chat with high-level national security principals having a policy discussion about imminent strikes against the Houthis and the effects of the strike. National Security Advisor has taken full responsibility for this, and the National Security Council is conducting an in-depth review along with technical experts working to determine how this reporter was inadvertently added to this chat. The conversation was candid and sensitive. But as the President National Security Advisor stated, no classified information was shared. There were no sources, methods, locations, or war plans that were shared.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, they said, oh, now that you hear that they’re trying to call them attack plans. It’s the tech plans now. We’re going to change the language and make it true. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Oh, that rhymed. Ooh, look at that. So this is like day two of all these hearings. And I’m over this story as of today. And tomorrow I’m done talking about it because I’m not going to extend it. And I don’t think that Mike Waltz needs to do another interview about it. I don’t think he needs to ever say that he doesn’t know how someone was added. I know how Signal works. But I think it was a mistake. You move on and you do an inventory. You go through security protocol again and then go forward. Because as Ratcliffe testified, this is something that they onboarded the signal application to use. They all used it. And I had the thought, too. I have less of a problem with Signal than I do another, like a government program that they would devise to use and say that was secure and encrypted. And the reason I believe this is because you’ve seen everything, right, that’s happened with just since Trump has taken office, actually even before then. You’ve had a really good look at how corrupt and big and unaccountable government is. Do you trust them to make an app that they promise is going to be secure with encrypted discussion for the highest levels of government to have these discussions about foreign policy? I don’t. Do you? Because I don’t. I mean, it’s like, what’s worse, that or Signal? I mean… It didn’t leak out because of a gap in security and signal. It leaked because somebody accidentally added. I think they were trying to add that Jameson Greer guy, and they ended up adding Jeffrey Kohlberg. Man, what a mistake to make. Golly. The memes, though, have been very interesting. They’ve been very entertaining. All right, so… A few other things, too, I want to make sure that we are touching on as well, because we were talking at one of the things I want to touch on this. And I’ll have a piece about this a little later. And I think we’re going to try. We’re going to deep dive with one of our attorney friends on it later this week, too. That has to do with this SCOTUS ruling as it pertains to I hate this phrase, but this is ghost guns. Right. So it’s the ghost gun rule. ruling and the Supreme Court upheld these restrictions about the kits that you would take to make a firearm at your leisure, a hobbyist. It was a 7-2 decision written by Gorsuch and they uphold the frame and the receiver rule, the ATF’s rule on that. And they want to treat the unfinished frames and the unfinished receivers as fully functional firearms so like an unmilled block of polymer they want to they want to treat it as an actual firearm which is so dumb and this overturned the fifth circuit court of appeals they had a regulation their their holding was that the regulation was inconsistent with the gun control act of 64 so you had only two justices that dissented, Alito and Thomas. You knew Thomas would. And the majority opinion was authored by Gorsuch. And he was saying that in his, and I’m looking at his opinion, he was saying that this is why the rule is fine and not looking at this from a Second Amendment standpoint. And I want to caution people. I agree with you. I’m not, you know, you’re talking to someone who may be more of a purist than you. But that’s not what the court was tasked with determining. They weren’t looking at this. They were looking at it from like the administrative perspective. Right. It was I mean, quite literally, it was something that has to do with the Administrative Procedures Act. as it pertains to, does this fit under the gun control act? So it’s not, you’re not adjudicating it from the position of, is this acceptable with the second amendment? They’re adjudicating it from the position of, is this, does this work with the gun control act? Doesn’t the gun control act allow for this infringement? So I know it because in order to come to this decision, and this is what they do, you know, they’re justices and they literally are interpreting and applying the law. They are not there. They can only consider what is before them. And they are considering. Is this work with and I don’t agree with it, but that’s how they’re looking at it. Does this work with the Gun Control Act? And that’s that’s what they are. That was the that was the focus of the whole of all of the arguments. And so they got it. They and I’ll have the the Gorsuch’s opinion linked. But. To have a challenge, there has to be a particular statute violation. And I mean, this is where we’re going to bring on if maybe we can get Stephen Hallbrook, because I think that they I think that the Trump administration, I think they could you could repeal this rule. There’s some there’s things you could do just within the ATF, because this doesn’t undermine the ATF’s authority at all. And if anything, it kind of reinforced, oh, yeah, this is a legitimate rule. I think it also highlights how weak Congress is. Because when Congress doesn’t do its job, then you have agencies like the ATF that are allowed to fill in the gaps with whatever stupid bureaucratic interpretation they want to implement and enforce on you. And that’s maybe the biggest issue. But they are… There’s there’s ways to deal with this. And like I said, I’m still reading all of this, which is why I’m going to write more about it later. I’m still reading every the opinion Gorsuch’s opinion. But looking at it, I think that there’s there’s there’s ways to, I think, try to go with this. But it’s not going to be with Supreme Court. You’re going to have to have congressional action. You’re going to have to have it because you can have Trump have an EO. uh to kneecap the atf but that’s meaningless without congress coming in and even then there’s stipulations on that congress is going to have to come in and make this stuff permanent i don’t have a lot of faith in congress doing that right now i’m really frustrated with them very frustrated with them so we’ll see we’ll see we’ll see how it goes but i’m not i can’t say i’m surprised with it i don’t think i was surprised with this decision and i um I think that they’ve been pretty friendly to a compared to previous, although I think there’s some cases that they probably wouldn’t take just yet. So I don’t know if this goes. I think that the plaintiffs can challenge this themselves in other ways. But it’s there. The rule was always about whether or not the ATF has the ability to enforce it. And do they have the ability to enforce it? Because the Gun Control Act stipulates that this is allowable. And that’s literally why I just this is so stupid. I think this is also dumb. The creation, the hobbyist building of firearms predates the republic. When you think every single firearm began as a hobbyist’s invention, the machine gun began as a hobbyist’s invention, the boring in a rifle began as a hobbyist’s invention, right? All of this. This was the evolution of firearm progression technology in the world. I mean, going back to the War of Independence, one of the ways that we were able to get an edge is because we incorporated the French boring into our rifles. And we had the Kentucky gun and they were also including that in. And we were able to get like a technological advantage over the Brits. That in our incorporation of asymmetric warfare. But that being said, I mean, all of this began, this is, it predates all of this. And so it’s really dumb, I think, to argue. And I know, again, I know that’s not what SCOTUS was arguing, but it’s silly to have this, to argue that, oh, well, I treat it like it’s a newfound thing. Gun control activists always look at this with the perspective that it’s like somehow new or that technology or that the affordability now of certain tools and machinery make it to where this is like a brand new thing for gun owners. And now we’re going to see like a proliferation of guns. Homemade firearms, which we’re actually not still. I mean, gangbangers just want something fast and easy, right? They’re not into doing what they’re doing because they’re fascinated by the technological progression of firearms and the inner workings of it. That’s not what they’re into it for. But we’re going to talk more about this. I’m going to digest the opinion a little bit more. But like I said, I think there’s still some avenues of pushing back on this. Also, a few other things to make sure that we are hitting on. I wanted to touch on this from the Wall Street Journal article. The administration is looking at potentially implementing tariffs that buy energy from Venezuela. This is one of the things that came out. Just over the past day or so. Pulling the story up right now. Some nations could be exempt from reciprocal tariffs, but foreign goods, including lumber and pharmaceuticals, that could you you could see you could see tariffs on that after April 2nd per the president. And some nations, too, that are, you know, perhaps, you know, buying energy from Venezuela, et cetera. That’s something that they could. I’m trying to pull the story up from The Wall Street Journal and their Web site. Can someone please, dear God, tell The Wall Street Journal to stop having so many stupid pop up ads on their site? It’s so frustrating. But they, because this is the place that had the scoop, they’re levying these tariffs on this as a way to kind of, I think, you know, I mean, it does control what some of your alliances are. 25% on anybody that buys oil or gas from Venezuela, that would augment, so that’s augmenting existing duties. And that includes the 20%, all that, those proposals include the 20% tariff levied on China. So it’s like, what, 45% tariffs on China? The third largest trading partner would take effect on or after April 2nd. Remember, he said he didn’t want to do anything on April 1st because it’s April Fool’s Day. And he extended Chevron’s license to operate well through the Treasury in Venezuela through late May. They said they would give Chevron 30 days to wind down operations. They want their operations ending there in early April. Chevron’s lobbying for an extension of the license. They had a meeting last week with POTUS and other U.S. officials and some other oil executives. So they the Biden administration had granted Chevron license to continue drilling and continue operating and resuming operations in like 2022. And so they all of this was was done to put pressure on Maduro. So I actually I’m not I’m not against that. I don’t know. I don’t I don’t have a position on being again. I think it’s I mean, if you’re looking at it from a NatSec issue, I think it’s. I it’s smart if you’re wanting to kind of, you know, protect allies from having to ingratiate themselves with Venezuela and do business with Venezuela. But if we’re not following up by putting more energy out on the market, how does that help us? Right. That’s the big thing. Are we and I know that’s one of the things that the administration is focusing on unleashing our ability to generate energy. energy domestically. If we’re not filling in that gap, is this off or not?

SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 14 :
Captain declares an emergency after a passenger keeps flicking a lighter. This was from Kansas City to Phoenix. How did they get it on board? How do you get a lighter on board? Excuse me. You can’t take a lighter on board.
SPEAKER 05 :
Actually, the last time we went to Vegas, I saw the person in front of me had it in their carry-on. Really? You can take a lighter on carry-on.
SPEAKER 14 :
BS.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, it was in plain view of TSA.
SPEAKER 14 :
Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on. We’re stopping right here. Can you take a lighter on carry-on?
SPEAKER 05 :
That was when I was in Texas heading to Vegas.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, yes, you can. So there you go. You’re allowed one lighter in your carry-on bag. It has to be a disposable or a Zippo-style lighter without fuel. Oh. Without fuel.
SPEAKER 05 :
Who brings a lighter without fuel? All right.
SPEAKER 14 :
The lighter has… So, yeah, they said that you can refuel it after security.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, not everybody’s stupid.
SPEAKER 14 :
Not before. Okay, so I’m just, because I can’t have anything over 3 point whatever, 4 ounces for hand lotion, but somebody can bring a stupid lighter on board. Anyway, so this guy, he’s flicking his lighter on and off, and the pilot’s like, this is your last chance. I’m going to divert this aircraft if you don’t stop. And people are wondering, you know, you just can’t make fire when you’re on the plane.
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s totally smoking on the damn plane.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, I mean, I just feel and there’s a woman who tried in a separate one. She tried one showing you right now. She literally was trying to smoke on the plane and she burned the seat cover with a lighter. How do these people again? They literally confiscated my mic stand because they said it was a weapon. My microphone stand and they tried to once confiscate my son’s protractor because they said it looked sharp. But these people can take lighters on? Jiminy Christmas. I can’t even with these people. That’s so stupid. All right, we got more. Let’s see. Homeowners are demanding $10,000 from HOA as the dues are spent accidentally paying someone else’s bills, and it went on for years and years. I think HOAs are insane. And I think some of them out-extend their purpose. Yep. It’s in Charlotte, North Carolina. They took a look at their HOA’s finances and found that they were actually paying for people’s bills, like water bills, utilities, things like that. And the whole neighborhood suffered. So they filed suit. Always check this stuff. Always check this stuff. We have a lot more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this hour and a lot still to discuss. Stick with us. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs research, the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from central banks. It’s stuff like this that’s made me take action and why I’ve bought precious metals like gold and silver. I’ve partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy. Easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco. They’re a huge supporter of this show, and they’re the best at what they do.

SPEAKER 17 :
We don’t care how much money you have, Elon. We don’t give a damn about Doja. We are going to defend the Constitution because we believe in democracy. So many people have sacrificed and fought and died for democracy. And Trump comes along with his ignorant and he don’t even know the Constitution. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe I ought to first look at Melania.
SPEAKER 14 :
Wow, she sounds like an old, ignorant octogenarian. That’s Maxine Waters. Welcome back. That’s Jasmine Crockett in the future. That’s who she’s trying to be. She’s trying to take over from Maxine Waters. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. First off, that’s kind of embarrassing for a lawmaker to say something like that, particularly when that shows a grotesque understanding of what birthright citizenship even is. Because birthright citizenship is if you’re born here on U.S. soil, right? If you’re born on U.S. soil, regardless of what the citizenship status of your parents is, you know, is, then you’re a citizen. Melania Trump was not born here. She came here legally and became a naturalized citizen. And her parents came here legally. And that’s not even the same thing as birthright citizenship. Cain, please say aloud what you just put in Slack. Share with the class.
SPEAKER 05 :
I asked who put cocaine in her Metamucil.
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, I think that’s a legit question. I feel like we deserve to know that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Some evidence of that right there.
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, it seems, yeah. I don’t know. But that’s not even, so she’s saying, well, he needs to look at, like she’s suggesting that, I mean, right? Did I interpret that incorrectly? She’s saying that Melania Trump somehow is here because of birthright citizenship. And that’s not, What that was. And in fact, all of that was never established to be applicable to people who are running across the border illegally. That was after it was established after the Civil War for certain reasons as it pertained to people who were in enslavement. So that’s a whole other discussion. I I’m just amazed that that’s a I don’t know why I’m amazed, but that’s just really ignorant. That’s just really dumb. It’s just a bad soundbite for her. This is why, by the way, there are popularities at the lowest ever measured. I saw this. Let me share this headline with you. So I’ve been getting these, or rather seeing these headlines that are sounding the alarm for how bad it is for Democrats. Let me pull this because I did LOL at this. Time for a progressive rethink. Guys, don’t you think that the problem with the Democrat Party is that they’re not aggressive enough? They’re not in your face enough. They’re not offering more free things. What other free things must they offer? That’s literally what they’re thinking right now. Every think piece is preaching to Democrats that they need to be more aggressive, more in your face is a phrase I keep seeing over and over again, and that they need to stop the steal. That’s their thing now. They need to stop the steal. That’s what Elon Musk is doing. He’s stealing all our dollars. He’s stealing all of our monies, Cain.
SPEAKER 05 :
How’s he doing that?
SPEAKER 14 :
He’s just taking them up, gobbling them up in the doge.
SPEAKER 05 :
So there would be a paper trail then, right, of him doing that?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, the government hides it, you know, because of Trump. They’re hiding all of it. They’re hiding all of it, and that’s what, they need to get it all, they need to take it back, our dollars. It’s all of our monies. I’m not kidding. This is literally what they’re arguing. I’m actually quoting a family member’s Facebook comment. The whole, well, wouldn’t there be a paper trail? No, the whole Trump government’s hiding it.
SPEAKER 05 :
So all this transparency and Musk is just going to take the money.
SPEAKER 14 :
I feel like I need to stop right there because I know you all understand this. I… Because I was writing and I was in the middle of writing a piece about this last night. I’m just going to I was in the middle. I was like three paragraphs. And I’m like, wait a minute. I am not. And I stopped the draft because I’m like this. I’m not getting to the crux of this piece because I was getting into the recommended cuts. And if you add this up, the rate of growth, et cetera, like how much money could we ultimately save? Right. And how quickly could it be implemented? And I was looking at, can you do this in one big package? Or as Massey said, is it feasible to do that? Or do you have to actually split it up into a bunch of separate things? And as I was writing this, I thought, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I’m realizing now that Democrats, it’s so stupid. The messaging is that your money is being taken out of your account your bank account magically somehow because a third party that was contracted by the government, so an NGO essentially, is recommending the bad spending to stop. I cannot pretend to be stupid enough to write something that addresses the perspective of this, Cain.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it’s like finding a landfill in your backyard and you’re discovering who put that landfill there. And you’re like, my God, that’s terrible. But everyone there is just pointing to the person who told them about the landfill.
SPEAKER 14 :
And I saw this headline and I got I first saw it over at memorandum and then it disappeared. And I got really hopeful for a moment. I’m like, oh, do they understand something? Because at some point they’re so dumb, I start feeling bad for them. Not really. And it said, Democrats need a reality check. They must do better. And I’m like, oh, wow. Wow, that sounds like a promising headline, right? And then I look at the, oh, no, no. They need a reality check. Their base wants more aggressive. They don’t want aggressive posturing. They want aggressive action. And they want the party to stop the Trump administration’s overreach and the theft of taxpayer resources. What? What? What? I was so hopeful for that headline. Maybe they’re getting it, but they’re not. They’re not. And they… I don’t know. They accused them of being in bed with big corporate, with big business, big corporations. In fact, let me pull this up. I got another story. Let me get this pulled up for you. So they had, they were accused, there was one article where it said Republicans shouldn’t be considered the party of blue collar workers because look at all the big business they’ve got with them. And they were talking about all of the tech people that they had at the inauguration, etc. And it’s… No, it’s just so bad. It’s just really… This is so stupid. They didn’t say anything about… George Soros or the even the Gavin Newsom’s or the Pelosi’s or the Turner’s or the Buffett’s or they haven’t said anything about any of those big money people that have for so long shaped not just Democrat policies, but their messaging down to their fundraising, down to their their street teams that they pretend to be grassroots. This whole, you know, all of it. They’ve they’ve not they haven’t they haven’t none of it. And they keep acting as though it’s the, you know, Republicans are the ones that are now cozying up to big business and taking money from big business. I mean, did you not, I mean, Democrats literally were part, were like intertwined with them to the nth degree. And working with the unions, that’s big business by itself, particularly public sector unions. I’m looking for this story. I saved it, and I somehow – I apologize. I somehow – I saved this story, and then I ended up trashing it, but somehow, and I’m coming back to it. But I talked about this last night. And this is the angle that Bernie Sanders and AOC particularly are – keep hitting at. And I think of all of the loudmouths that are in the Democrat Party right now, I think the ones that are being the most successful, I can’t believe I’m saying this, for their base are actually Bernie Sanders and AOC because they’re very, very focused on this economic message. And they’re trying to portray the Republican Party as being the Republican Party of big business and not for the little guy. They’re trying to redefine what that looks like. And they keep using the imagery of the inauguration when you had, who all do you have up there? You had everybody, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Altman, you had all of the folks up there. And they had all of them under Biden. I mean, how are you saying that when the previous administration was working with the same tech CEOs to suppress dissent? I mean, that’s kind of a big deal. Here’s my story. Finally, heaven help us. So they had this from The Guardian, the courage to brawl for the working class, right? They’re trying to get people to the courage to fight back. Sanders, this is an actual line that he said, quote, I’ve talked about the concept of the oligarchy as an abstraction. Sometimes I think people just get the sources and just want to use all the words in them. Well, I mean, you are literally that in the form of your position in the Democrat Party. This is a guy who never worked in the private sector and he’s basically a political oligarch. He’s a multimillionaire with multiple homes and he doesn’t want those opportunities existent for anybody else. So they’re they’re encouraging people to brawl on behalf of the little guy. So that’s what their whole summer concert series. This one. This also a couple of different places. Forbes, Wall Street Journal, GOP cements gains as the working class party across racial lines. They talk about how Trump won more minority and non-college voters. The reason I’m hammering this so hard is because this is going to start coming into play in about four months. As we are rolling into midterms, this is going to be the big fight for midterms. You’re not going to be able to do anything bigger because Trump isn’t on the ballot. You don’t have a party leader on the ballot. This is all about shifting the House. And like I said, all they got to do is flip three seats and that’s it. So there’s Democrats are now they’ve they’ve come up with us and pulling this up. Forgive me. They have come up with the pack that I told you about. They win them back that they’ve dumped 50 million dollars in. They said they’re some of them are trying to examine how they lost working class voters, even in very, very blue districts, how they did it. And so one of the things that they’re doing right now is they’re watching two different seats. They’re watching what’s going on in Wisconsin because there’s an election in Wisconsin that could reshape things. And they’re also now watching what’s happening in the sixth congressional district in Florida, where you had a district that Trump took by 31 or 32 points. it’s a solid red district that now the Republican is it’s now classified as a toss up. He is within margin of error of the Democrat challenger. And Randy Fine was on the show. I don’t we don’t get along, but, you know, he at least came on the show. And that’s what happens when you put up a really bad Republican, a weak rhino. And here’s what Republicans have got to remember. You’re dealing with a big tent now. And because you’re dealing with a big tent, these people do not have an appetite for BS. They’re not going to follow the party lines that the base does. They’re not just going to blindly defend this or that policy because it’s the thing to do by the party. They’re not going to defend stupid actions and they’re not going to tolerate or stomach them either. That’s one of the reasons why they’re trying to make this signal thing such a big deal. When you have a big tent, you have a lot of people that are cynical and they’re not afraid to to ask the questions that need to be asked. They don’t give a rat’s ass about party fealty. Republicans need to learn this now before they learn it the hard way later. They don’t care about party fealty. They don’t care about MAGA everything or MAHA everything. If you want to keep a big tent, you need to recognize this from this voting block that is on the right part of your big tent because the coalition depends on it. So I say this because They’re watching this messaging and they’re hearing, you know, what have you done for me lately? What have you done for me lately that that some Democrats are smart enough to kind of seize on? And if they don’t see this delivered for them, if they see stupid things being done. And they’re not going to make excuses for it. They’ll go somewhere else. If they see bad candidates put on the ballot like this Randy Fine, you’re not going to you’re not going to push these people into doing it for the party because they didn’t do it for the party. They stood up against the party that they have voted for historically, election after election, and they decided to make a switch. Don’t make them regret their decision. Don’t make them regret it, particularly by doing a cell phone and putting up a really bad candidate. So this is something that Republicans have got to get a handle on, because as you can see right now with that sixth congressional district and in Wisconsin, you know, the coalition, they’re going to ask questions. And if they find your answers insufficient, they’re not going to go for you. Republicans are their own worst enemies. They really are. And so that’s one of the things they’re looking at. There’s actually a really smart piece that ran in USA Today. I was reading it this morning that talked about the rightward bent of voters that are in historically left leaning districts. And the moderates that are in these historically left leaning districts and they they made the state purple. They didn’t really or they made the district purple. They didn’t really flip it red because the split ticket voting, they will vote for certain Democrat candidates on some things and then they’ll vote Republicans on some of the bigger issues. And that’s really what ultimately made up a lot of the victory in the blue wall states, the Wisconsin, the Michigan, the Pennsylvania for Trump back in 2016 and also Michigan. not just in 2020, but in 2024. And Republicans need to not mess this up. By the way, where is the RNC right now? Where are the heads of the RNC? Where the hell are they in these two battle races? There are 14 seats that Democrats are dumping tons, millions of dollars in. And we’re going to talk more about this as we get closer to it. 14 seats that they’re looking to flip, not just to keep blue, but to flip from red. And in some of them, they’re very primed to do so because it was a little closer than it was in some of these other areas. But it doesn’t help when you have solid red districts that are going to toss up because Republicans are putting forward bad candidates. This is an alarm. Consider it a canary in a coal mine. If Republicans don’t deliver, you’re going to see this repeat in race after race after race after race. Three seats is all it takes to flip. Three. I went really long last segment and I was getting right. So one of the things we’re going to talk about tomorrow are the 14 seats that are being targeted by Democrats because you only have to flip three seats in the House and you need to be aware of that. And I will make up the stolen today and stupidity to you tomorrow. I absolutely promise. So we’re going to dive into all of it because we’re out of time. I think I’m going to be Robin Kane of this. In the meantime, though, make sure you sign up over at Substack Chapter and Verse. I’ll have something out about the SCOTUS ruling, the ghost gun. I’ll explain that. We’ll have a piece out there for you subscribers as well. YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. In the meantime, I will be back behind the mic with you tomorrow. Have a great rest of your night.
