SPEAKER 17 :
because, you know, you have to show a little flexibility. We go back to what we have to do. The markets have been very strong once they got used to it, but we were losing $2 billion a day. There’s no company big like this, but this is the biggest deal ever made. Now we’re making $3 billion a day. We’re a great country, but we had stupid people running this country, and I can say what they’ve done to us at the border, should never and can never be forgotten. It’s a sin what they did, and you are helping us out, and we appreciate it. Thank you.
SPEAKER 18 :
Actually, what you’re doing with the border is remarkable. It has dropped, what, 95%? It’s incredible. As of this morning, 99%, 99.1% to be exact.
SPEAKER 17 :
Why are those numbers not in the media? Well, they get out with the fake news, you know, like CNN. CNN over here doesn’t want to put them out because they don’t like putting out good numbers. They don’t like putting out, because I think they hate our country, actually. But it’s a shame. You’re right. Isn’t that a great question? Why doesn’t the media, why don’t they put out numbers? Yeah, 99%. I mean, it’s crazy, right? We’re doing a crazy turnaround. Christy, could you maybe say a couple of words about the border, how we’re doing?
SPEAKER 19 :
So the president is speaking with, well, our president is speaking with the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele. And I am fascinated by this exchange, especially when, and the excerpt that you heard, it was literally, I mean, it’s only delayed for like a minute. I mean, he just was talking about all of this. And the discussion that they were having centered on the reporting of, uh around uh illegal immigrationists and this came after i think correct me if i’m wrong i think this was after just to set it up so people know what what was happening i think this was after caitlin collins asked a question about the legality of you guys remember the the dude that we talked about last week who is an illegal alien and who was sent to the infamous prison in el salvador and he uh They kept saying somehow that he was like a legal citizen and he wasn’t a legal citizen. He’s he was always ever illegal here illegally. And they that he was asked a question about that. And Pam Bondi answered as well. I think DHS spoke first and then and then. Pam Bondi answered and they gave a little bit more insight. They had, you know, three different we had two different courts. And then you also had an entity in El Salvador that said, no, this guy is this El Salvadorian national. And, you know, essentially, if the United States were to take him and bring him back again illegally to, you know, the United States, they would be kidnapping him at that point. So that was a very interesting exchange. And I also loved. The president, because he said this like several times, he said after CNN asked that question, he’s like, well, I don’t really like the way CNN reports. You know, basically, what did he say? They’re a trash bag. They’re trash. They’re trash people. It was hysterical the way he said it. And the El Salvadorian president, Bukale, he’s he’s sitting right there next to him. Like, wow. He’s like he was laughing the whole time that you could tell he, you know. He thought it was pretty funny. So welcome to the program. That’s how we’re starting out Monday. It’s always fun to start out with a press conference when you have… Well, it’s not a press conference per se. It’s a press availability. And they’re there in the Oval Office. And again, POTUS is meeting with El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukale. And he… The way that he was just trashing the bad media was hysterical. So that and they have a good partnership. They have a very good partnership. I mean, I’m looking at some of this is very different than what we’re used to. Kane, it’s very different from what we’re used to.
SPEAKER 15 :
I want to play this part here because even El Salvadorian’s president is like, you guys are nuts.
SPEAKER 26 :
It’s hysterical. Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return him?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, I suppose you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right? How can I return him to the United States? If I smuggle him into the United States, what do I do? Of course, I’m not going to do it. I mean, the question is preposterous. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States. Yeah, but I’m not releasing. I mean, we’re not very fond of.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, I think that’s a really good point is like, how am I going to be bringing? How am I going to bring this guy back into the United States? He’s you know, he’s a he’s. El Salvadoran. He’s not American. He wasn’t there legally. So I think that was a good, that was a very good exchange there that highlighted a lot of stuff for folks. So welcome to the program. We’re at the top of the first hour and there’s been a lot happening. We’re going to get into all of it, including my allergies. So if my eyes look red, it’s not because I’m like a drug addict or something. It’s crazy allergies in Texas right now. Your girl is allergic to nature. Well, specifically Like cedar cats, ducks, you know, all kinds of stuff. I don’t know, dude. I don’t know. I’m just I’m just here. I’m just here. So we’re going to. So if I start, it’s that’s why. That’s why. Not for any other reason. The we’ll keep monitoring this because they’re still there. They’re still there in the Oval Office and they’re there. I will bring you any other good press quips, but I do like the fact that he’s sitting there just trashing the press right in front of the president of El Salvador. And and Bucolet is just sitting there like he’s got this expression on his face. It’s hysterical. So this is a good, you know, it’s a it’s already a good start to the to the week. Like I said, we’re going to get into all of that. Also, can we just I can’t I was going to say. I was going to say this. I don’t even have it on the rundown for this first hour. I was going to touch on the blue. Is it the blue origin? So many damn rockets going up in the air. I don’t care where you had. Forgive me. I’m really going through my mental Rolodex. Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez and who else? There’s some other celebrity that nobody cares about. Gayle King, that’s right. So they got up into this rocket and they were in, it was like, it took flight. It was like 11 minutes. They saw, how long were they kind of technically in space for? Just a couple of minutes, just a handful of minutes. Right. And then they came back down. That’s all great. They had other females. Nobody was driving. That’s how it landed with that incident. So they landed. Do we have any of this audio where they were screeching like cats, like a basket of cats? Yeah, play this. Because when it landed, I had to turn the volume down on my monitor because I couldn’t even hear them. They were… Listen. Listen. Thank you so much. We love you. We love you. Bring us back safe. We’re so grateful. We’re counting on you.
SPEAKER 26 :
We’re counting on you.
SPEAKER 19 :
We believe in you, too. What are you doing? You’re just throwing up in the air for a little bit. It’s a Highland fling up in the air. That’s all it is.
SPEAKER 20 :
Where’s Carrie Anne?
SPEAKER 19 :
They all have their suits. They all have their suits. The only one who could actually fly this thing maybe would be Lauren Sanchez because she is an actual helicopter pilot. But the others, I don’t know anything about. But it was like a total… What was the purpose of this? To show that chicks can go up in the air?
SPEAKER 15 :
In a giant penis?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, it was a capsule.
SPEAKER 15 :
It didn’t look like a… It got up there somehow.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, yeah, but I’m fascinated by why they felt like they needed to, what was the purpose of this? Just show that, I mean, normally when you’re doing like experimental space flight and stuff like that, you’re trying to achieve something like, oh, we’re going to set this record or we’re going to see how far we can go up here. I’m not trying to be mean or a naysayer. I think all this stuff is cool. I’m just curious as to what purpose was achieved from this to show that broads can go into space. I mean, you got to go up and see that the world isn’t flat and then you come back down. Am I underplaying this? Yeah, I’m just, I don’t know. I’m just, I don’t know. I have questions about that. Not saying that I’m not excited about space flight or anything, but this was all over the news. As Steve put it, it’s the real housewives of the stratosphere. And yes, Lorraine and Kanye did not ever talk to each other because you guys say the same exact things. Lorraine said in Slack exactly what you were just saying on air. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she did. Yeah, that’s right. So you guys don’t get to talk anymore because you just feed off each other. So it’s it is a and again, allergies. I’m not crying because I’m like blown away. I could care less. I really, you know, actually, I could not. I don’t have any more cares to give, but I just don’t. Get the purpose of this. What is the purpose of going up into the air? A bunch of women to show that women can go up in the air, that women are somehow underrepresented. The fact that you’re having an entire, you know, test flight, I think kind of goes to show you that they’re they’re not women are not oppressed. I just I don’t get it. What’s the purpose of it? It sounded annoying as hell when the capsule landed. This is why I don’t like to do girls outings because it’s annoying. Everyone’s like me. I just would rather die. I can’t. That’s worse than going to like a spa, Kane. To be on a space capsule with a bunch of broads is worse than having a spa day with a bunch of women.
SPEAKER 15 :
You go to space to get away from that stuff.
SPEAKER 19 :
You go to space to get away from it. But you’re all in matching suits. You’re not a family of twins. What are you doing? Why is everybody in matching outfits? They’re on the same team? I don’t know. I don’t know. We’re going to come back to this. Also, a number of other things because we also have the ongoing – well, just with China. Really, I’m looking at my my headlines here, the ongoing battle, the tariff battle with China. So they’re at 125 percent. We’re higher. We’re going to see how it goes. I’ve been hearing from people with suppliers and supply chains, etc. I do think that none of this stuff makes any sense until you actually start. deregulating and making it easier for business to do business here. Does that make sense? So that you can have a hospitable environment in which you can make these products and be sustainable with our supply chains. Until we do that, all of this stuff is stupid. I read two pieces today. this morning, one of them was at Wall Street Journal, where it talked about how you have to make, you have to have tariffs, or you have to have tax cuts in order to have this system, because it’s one or the other. It’s either you’re implementing these tariffs to raise federal revenue in place of an income tax, or you are doing it just as a tactic for long-term strategy, which right now it seems like it’s the latter, like a short term, especially with these other European nations. Like we were telling you on Friday, Maloney, Georgia Maloney, the Italian prime minister was meeting with POTUS to talk about trade and make a deal, etc. But so far, I don’t know what Congress is doing. And we’re going to we’re going to update on all of that and follow what they are. We’re going to have some headlines about that here later on. So a busy day. And then, of course, we’re going to have A.G. Ken Paxton coming up at the top of our next hour. And then we have Stephen Yates. We have Greg Abbott, but Greg Abbott canceled on us. I had a lot of questions.
SPEAKER 15 :
Huh? He’s not feeling well.
SPEAKER 19 :
He’s not feeling well? Is he feeling under the weather? Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
And apparently he lost his voice too.
SPEAKER 19 :
See, I’m not the only person dealing with allergies right now. He needs to ban allergies.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yesterday was a bad day for everybody.
SPEAKER 19 :

SPEAKER 04 :
Democrats now insist they have a huge momentum shift after those special elections turned out pretty much like we thought they would. President Trump has the audacity to claim he should be able to decide who works for him. And Trump makes the media look like Wile E. Coyote again over comments about a third term.

SPEAKER 15 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 19 :
This is such fear-mongering garbage. Now they say that being married, this is by they, I mean the independent, says that being married has been linked to an increased risk of dementia. I would think it’s just the men because the women are there to tell you exactly what to do and what to wear and where to go and when to be there. And you don’t have to remember anything. So, you know, you get dementia. That’s my scientific theory. You know that cane? That’s my scientific assessment of it. Yeah, that makes all the sense in the world. They said that married people are generally thought to have better health, and we do. But they said that, like, reduced risk of heart disease, all this other stuff. But they said that, well, dementia. I’m telling you, that’s the reason why. Low-level drinkers have increased cancer and cardiovascular risk, according to a study. So become a high-level drinker. That’s the news that I’m getting out of this, Cain. That’s the lesson, you know. I mean, maybe it’ll make your stupid eye allergies go away, which I’m going to complain about all the show. Low-level drinking, they said, increases your chances of cancer and cardiovascular disease. It was done by this British group that I don’t care. And I would say that, well, I guess that means, boys, you’ve got to drink more. Low-level is unacceptable, so become a high-level drinker. Doctors are reattaching… Reattaching a decapitated Illinois woman’s head after she suffered a horrific fall while exercising. Wow, this is crazy. So the story says she was 16 in 2005. She leapt in the air to catch a soccer ball during gym class, fell to the ground, damaged her right ankle and spine, tearing the muscle off of both shoulder blades. She had to spend a year on crutches. Everything was bad. She underwent 22 surgeries and on her shoulders and shoulder blades. They couldn’t figure out why it didn’t heal, but apparently they discovered she has a genetic disorder that stops collagen from forming properly and leads to joint instability. So she had to have her whole head Like, stitched up. I mean, the back of her looks like Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. Like, she’s all stitched up. But it’s working, apparently. The Trump family going all in on crypto. I don’t care about that headline. California’s drought has returned. They said it’s already bad. It’s almost like they didn’t know that, you know, it’s going to get hot in the summer in California. It’s happening again. You know, it’s crazy, the drought in California, how this happens. And they just can’t predict it at all. They said that the California-Nevada River Forecast Center, they said it’s considered to be in a state of drought. They said that the drought areas have seen dryness intensify, falling further down the U.S. drought monitor scale from abnormally dry to exceptional drought. And 44% of California and Nevada are in drought. some stage of dryness or drought. That’s what they’re suggesting here. I don’t know what to say. So coming up, we’re going to get into, get some RFK stuff. There’s a piece that’s out over at Substack, if you haven’t read it yet, from Lorraine about JFK, RFK Jr., I almost said JFK, and autism. We have the latest with the economy tariffs. Oh, and the arson at Josh Shapiro’s. All that more. Stick with us. Burn a gun. B-Y-R-N-A is the non-firearm firearm.

And I don’t live in an area that tells me I can’t carry or has a bunch of buildings that tell me I can’t go in and can’t carry. But I do have friends who live in places like this. And this has been a godsend for them because they can still protect themselves. Of course, you know, it’s still a high crime area. really is where they have the strongest gun laws, and this is where Berna Law comes into play. So they’re able to defend themselves without violating any of those municipal restrictions. And like I said, no waiting period, no background check. They ship it right to your front door.

SPEAKER 17 :
Do you allow men to play in women’s sports? Do you allow men to box your women in boxers? I know you have a lot of boxers. That’s violence. That’s abuse of a woman. But we have people that fight to the death because they think men should be able to play in women’s sports. And some of those sports, it wouldn’t matter much, but it still matters. But some of them are very dangerous for women. Some years ago,
SPEAKER 18 :
Like you said, a decade ago or so, women rights movements were pressuring so that we enact a specific law to avoid men abusing women. And I think those laws were great because there were a lot of men abusing women. But now some of the same people are trying to backtrack and actually trying to make new laws allowing men to abuse women in sports. So actually, that doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s the El Salvadoran president there in the Oval Office talking with POTUS. Dana Lash here with you and my giant allergies and watery eye at the bottom of this first hour. I’m going to complain about it the whole show. You know how it is when you’ve got allergies and you’re miserable, and then people are like, why is your eye weird? What’s happening? So I’m letting you know right off the bat. He’s like, yeah, you know, you’ve got men beating up your women, wanting to fight your women, wanting to box your women. I just love the… response of the president of el salvador he just like laughs at everything it’s been a very interesting very interesting uh whole press avail i also one of the things we’re watching that happened over the weekend a socialist that hated josh superior josh shapiro try to say josh shapiro fast This guy who is believed to have set his house on fire on the first night of Passover admitted to authorities that he, quote, hated Shapiro and that he would have beaten him with a hammer if he had found him, according to a criminal report, which is that’s pretty wild. Cody Balmer, 38 years old, was charged with criminal homicide, aggravated arson, burglary, terrorism. Oh my gosh. Aggravated assault. There’s like a million other charges. Per the Harrisburg Police Department in a criminal complaint that the New York Post obtained on Monday. And the… Dude was admitted to the hospital to be treated for a medical event that police say was not connected to his arrest per the piece. He admitted to authorities that he had removed gas from a lawnmower, poured it into two Heineken bottles. He was going to use them as homemade Molotov cocktails. He walked an hour from his home to Governor Josh Shapiro’s home before he scaled the perimeter fence, breaking two windows with a hammer, throwing the cocktails inside. I mean, the damage is… really bad. They said that he forcibly entered Shapiro’s home early Sunday, just hours after the governor had guest over for Passover. And then he set fire on to the house as the governor and his family slept, said the Pennsylvania State Police. They said he clearly had a plan. He was methodical in his approach. Now they’re like, well, the attack was targeted, but, you know, we we don’t know the motive. I can pretty much guess it’s because he’s shmoo-ish. It rhymes with he’s shmoo-ish. How much do you want to bet? Because this is a violent lefty. Violent lefties hate Jewish people. That’s one of the things we’ve obviously seen throughout all of history. And he in a separate case, he was he’s expected to be in court for a whole separate case stemming from a 2023 assault charge. So he pled guilty in 2016 to forgery and theft. And after his arrest, his mother, Christine Balmer, said her son is mentally ill and that he went off his medication or, you know, it’s because he’s socialist. also that or maybe what comes first socialism or the mental illness i don’t know but uh and juan’s showing you some of the photos the entire house on the inside uh that room is just destroyed they’re gonna have to gut it kane they’re gonna have to gut that that damage all the damage from that there’s nothing that’s i don’t think there’s anything that’s salvageable except for the uh except for the bones of the house at that point you can’t see how bad it is on the inside uh but they said that um if he was trying to terrorize the family, you know, they said that, you know, they celebrated their faith last night, probably. Do you think it has to, I think it has to do with some of that. Honestly, I think it has to do with part of, because he’s Jewish. Because he’s been receiving, he’s received a lot of criticism and we’ve seen attacks against, you know, Jewish people from the left that have increased over time. And I also think too, you know, you had an administration that kind of tolerated all of it. Kind of. They did. I mean, thankfully, no injuries were reported in this. This guy did turn him into turn himself into police. And he was just freely was like, I was going to beat him with a hammer if I found him. That’s terrifying. I mean, absolutely terrifying. POTUS said that, you know, it’s inexcusable. They’re investigating it. Pam Bondi had mentioned and said something to that effect as well, because he was asked about it in the Oval Office by members of the press. And he was there meeting. with the El Salvadoran president. And I mean, the motive to me, that I’m saying, it just, this is Shapiro’s response. This is audio soundbite 13 first. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 24 :
Here’s a third truth. If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, jewish community who joined us for a passover seder in that room last night hear me on this we celebrated our faith last night proudly and in a few hours we will celebrate our second seder of passover again proudly no one will deter me or my family or any Pennsylvanian from celebrating their faith openly and proudly.
SPEAKER 19 :
And I mean, you kind of, to me, that sort of addresses what the motivation was, right? That this guy had. I mean, he waited to do this the first night of Passover. Come on. Don’t tell me that it doesn’t have anything to do with him being Jewish. It absolutely does. But the left, they idolize these people. Audio Soundbite 15, I can’t stand playing those 50-year-old woman’s audio soundbites, but… She’s lied about her age so many damn times. Nobody knows how old she is, really. It’s like, don’t be ashamed of it. Just good grief. But she’s like 50 something. And she tried to pretend she was like a 20 year old Taylor Swift fan. I don’t know. But she let’s give you some insight. This is why you have like all of this stuff on the left that, you know, violent, violent, crazy people on the left. Listen to how they idolize individuals like, for instance, Luigi Mangione. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 01 :
You’re going to see women especially that feel like, oh my God, right? Like here’s this man who’s revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart. He’s a person that seems like this morally good man, which is hard to find.
SPEAKER 19 :
Whenever I look at her cheeks, I think of squirrels throwing nuts. I said it when the video was playing and you guys couldn’t see. A man who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart. She doesn’t even know this guy. I mean, I get being desperate for a man in your life, but focusing on like that guy and having that guy because you think that there’s nobody else. I’m sure there’s better looking crazy women than her that are writing them letters in jail right now. Can you like dumb ass broad stop fetishizing stupid beta males like Luigi Mangione who runs out in broad daylight to kill an insurance executive because he’s a dumb rich kid trust fund socialist moron who doesn’t understand how insurance works? Can we stop lionizing these stupid people? Stop making stupid people famous. Stop putting stupid broads on television to talk about stupid people and how they think that they should be exalted the way that she was doing here. He’s not a revolutionary. He’s a female copulatory organ who tried to gun down someone in broad daylight. He would have been pistol whipped within an inch of his life and only identifiable by his teeth if he tried to do that anywhere else. And I say that with a promise, not like as an example. That would have happened anywhere else other than Manhattan, where everybody’s been brainwashed into thinking they can’t defend themselves from homeless perps on subway platforms because they’ll be the bad guy if they do. Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. I hope they string this guy up and throw the book at him. I hope they throw all the books at him. I mean, just bring him out in the square and have all the people who are mad about this stuff beat the hell out of him like they did Mussolini. Let’s just do it like that. You guys want violence? We’ll satisfy the left’s just lust for violence and a sense of justice by allowing the left to beat him to death, hung up in Times Square. How about that? There, I solved everybody’s problems. Me, the soothsayer of the era, I solved everybody’s problems, just like that. But for real, though, more seriously. What is what there is something psychologically wrong with people who exalt this stuff. Right. But time and time again, that’s what you see on the left. And it came. How long is this? I do remember all the Occupy Wall Street stuff when people would get arrested at Occupy Wall Street and they were like, oh, that person was just protesting. There’s such an icon. Every single person that got in trouble. I remember in the early days they like made an icon of them.
SPEAKER 15 :
But not only that, they didn’t even require them to get the proper permitting like everyone else was required to do. Like Occupy Wall Street was just given this green light, an open door to do whatever the hell they wanted without permits, without anything like everyone else was required to do. So they were definitely a protected class.
SPEAKER 19 :
I remember that. I remember having to pay for a port-a-potty. for a Tea Party protest, 2009, downtown St. Louis. And then Occupy literally got to put up tents in the park and live there for a couple of weeks. And they didn’t have to get permits for anything because the rat bastard Democrats that run my hometown, that’s how they tried to, it was situational fairness. That’s exactly how that exactly how that all worked out. So I don’t know why we’re we’re elevating this type of stuff. And that’s why that’s why the left thinks that violence is OK. This dude, I don’t know, you know, his whole backstory. He looks like a nut job, but he also is like apparently, you know, anti-Semite. I don’t like saying that someone’s a crazy person unless they actually are legitimately mentally imbalanced. Because that’s purposely conflated with evil by the left. And they’re two very different things. Just because someone is evil doesn’t mean that they’re crazy. And just because someone’s crazy doesn’t mean that they’re evil. But the left needs that conflation. I don’t know. It’s unfortunate and… Well, then you’ve got this. Wait, do I have time for this? Because I have a whole thing on media. Then we’ve got this. This is Audio Soundbite 16. Listen to this spin from the media.
SPEAKER 24 :
About a third of the building has been blown away.
SPEAKER 21 :
And while America’s roots are soaked in bloodshed, violence in the country today is mostly from right-wing extremism. From Oklahoma City to Charlottesville to January 6th. There is simply no equivalent on the left.
SPEAKER 19 :
Hmm. Well, OK, first off, that’s absolutely insane. And I think that there’s been a lot of debate as to whether or not Tim McVeigh was actually a person on the right. Notice how they don’t go back to like the weather, the weathermen, that group. They don’t go back to the weathermen, do they? Oh, Weather Underground, whatever. Same people. A bunch of dippy, hippie meteorologists want to be terrorists. Let’s put it like that. They didn’t go back to that. They stopped at Tim McVeigh, who was not a Republican or a conservative or anything like that. They didn’t include Occupy Wall Street. They didn’t include BLM. They didn’t include Chas Chopp. They didn’t include any of the left’s protests. And that is CBS. Who is that? That’s Andrew Sullivan from CBS or O’Sullivan. Yeah. From CBS, who’s saying that America’s roots are soaked in bloodshed. Sorry, CNN and violence in the country. It’s mostly from that’s that’s absolutely asinine. Every bit of violence that I’ve ever seen perpetuated has been from the left. People who have tried to come to my and this might be anecdotal, but there’s police records to support it. People who come to my house to try to hurt me have been on the left. People who have tried to get me in public have been on the left. The reason that I had to have a security detail when I was advocating for Second Amendment rights was because crazy ass leftist tried to kill me. They wanted to kill me. They wanted to kill my family. We had to get security at my kid’s school. We had to like assure other parents we had to do all of this stuff because of the crazy left, the crazy violent left. The people who sent death threats to my house were on the left. The people that our police actually were looking at for said death threats, it was all agreement. These people were motivated because I didn’t think like them. And it’s not just me. Look nationally. Look, who are the people in the red hats that were getting their faces punched in because they went out in public? Again, we had another protest outside of Tesla in our town square this weekend. You know, the old violent leftist hippie boomers that were out there. And those are the bad boomers. And I swear to you, if I have to delineate this one more time for drive-bys, if you think that I’m talking about you and you’re a boomer, then I’m talking about you. If you understand the nuance because you have multiple brain cells and you realize that I’m talking about the bad communist boomers, do I need to write a picture book for these drive-bys? Then you understand that I’m talking about them. I’m not going to sit here and tickle everybody’s jimmies and make sure that they all feel cupped and embraced. Okay, stop it. I don’t give a rat’s ass about people’s feelings that are driven by a complete lack of listening comprehension. Are we established that? OK, great. So that being said, everybody that I’ve ever seen that have ever been violent, they’ve always been on the left. They’ve always targeted people on the right. Trump supporters get together and they have a rally and I’ll be damned. People open fire and try to kill the president. That guy was on the left. The other guy tried to kill him again at the guy. He was on the left. They’re always on the left. Notice how CNN very artfully omitted that from their stupid little diatribe here. I have nothing else nice to say about these people.

SPEAKER 14 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 19 :
I remember when they first came out and they pretended to be British. And then after that, everything just sucked horribly. That’s Green Day, the fake punk band. Anyone who argues with me about Green Day being punk is automatically disqualified from ever commenting on music again, because if you think that Green Day is punk, you have a deficiency, a musical and educational deficiency. You have not lived enough, nor have you listened to enough music. Do not insult the punk genre by calling these pop crap posers as punk. I mean, this guy’s 60 years old and he’s out there bleaching his hair. It’s not the 90s anymore. Frosty isn’t a good look, especially when you’re 60 years old and you’re still trying to chase your youth. Good night. Him and Taylor Lorenz are the same person. We have a lot more coming up in our second hour. Let’s light everything on fire, figuratively speaking. 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. And right now you can get a free 2025 gold and silver kit jam-packed with critical information about buying precious metals. It was a huge help, not just for me, but to all of you if you do this. And for my audience, you could also qualify for up to a 10% instant match in bonus silver. It’s a really great deal. So don’t miss out. Visit danalikesgold.com to learn more. That’s danalikesgold.com. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour. Or no, sorry, second hour. You can listen. It’s just one of those Mondays. Allergies, crazy, the heat’s back. God bless America. So welcome. You can listen coast to coast. Channel 347, DirecTV as well is the simulcast. Joining us right now, he made his announcement. I can’t remember. Was he going to announce on our show or not?
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s a good question. I think he may have said he may have said something like that.
SPEAKER 19 :
So I feel like I got him down to rights on that. So the attorney general is going to be the next senator, Ken Paxton. He joins us now from a very impressive looking library. So it’s good to have you. Thank you for joining us. Congrats on the launch. We were we were waiting for this announcement for quite some time.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, look, I’m excited about it. It’s time for a change. He’s been there 23 going on 24 years, and he wants to be there another six, which would be 30 years. Even people that I talk to that are his friends don’t really believe that he should run for a fifth term, and they think it’s time for him to go. And so even his supporters, they won’t openly acknowledge it, are ready for a change. And I would guess that most Texans are ready for that same change.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, I would agree with that. And of course, we’re talking about Senator John Cornyn, who now the AG is challenging. I think this is like the first big challenge that he’s had. It’s from, in my opinion, it’s been far too long in the making. What is your biggest complaint with how he has has represented people in Texas?
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s it, that he hasn’t represented the people of Texas, that he hasn’t represented our views, that he has taken on issues like restricting gun ownership, fighting the border wall, fighting President Trump’s elections, both of them, and then just generally being Mitch McConnell’s lap boy. And now suddenly he’s Johnny-come-lately and he’s all in on Trump and all of his agenda. But that’s just, as I said, that’s Johnny-come-lately, not the real John Cornyn. So we’ll see the real John Cornyn again. As soon as he – if he got elected, he’d be the same old John Cornyn that he’s been for the last 40 years that he’s been in office.
SPEAKER 19 :
I just feel like with him being – I mean that seat, that Senate seat, you have so much potential to do so much with that seat because you come from – I mean Texas is viewed as being a red state even though it’s kind of purpley in some parts. But there’s – I feel like he’s never – fulfilled the the full potential for the lack of a better way to say it for that seat and has played it very safe and that that has really underserved people like for instance you know where concerns second amendment stuff which i know that you followed uh incredibly closely i just don’t know how you can go out and you can present a gun control bill and shepherd it through uh get it you know get it signed under joe biden and then come back and say that you want national reciprocity when you have a republican in the white house i just feel like that sends two contradictory messages
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, he’s only doing the reciprocity. He’s had that bill for six years, I think, and has done nothing with it. He definitely participated with Joe Biden in restricting gun ownership rights, and it actually created litigation for us because the ATF expanded their power and tried to do more with John Cornyn’s bill than we believed they could. So we had to sue ATF. We actually sued him twice. But that’s really thanks to John Cornyn because he was the one that expanded the definition of dealership, dealers, and tried to restrict – Gunnar writes, and look, Joe Biden was proud of him and he said it. You’re doing great things, John. And of course, President Trump came out and criticized him as a rhino because that’s effectively what we have here. And you’re right to note, by the way, that we have an example of a pretty darn good senator, Ted Cruz, that people of Texas appreciate that and they want somebody like him. uh serving alongside of him and it may be fine for john corn if he were coming from maine or vermont but it’s not fine for him to be in the positions that he’s in and and not represent people of texas as a texas senator as a matter of fact if you think about it he spent more money i want to make him senator of ukraine because he spent more money protecting their border than he has ours
SPEAKER 19 :
Hmm. That’s a very good point, because he has met with Zelensky almost every single time that Zelensky has been in D.C. as well. We’re talking with the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, also declared for Senate challenging John Cornyn. And on the board on the issue of the border, because we’ve seen and I’ve seen various reports, especially now with Trump in the White House. You know, obviously, illegal crossings are down. Texans have have Texas did something very interesting. unique in doubling down, securing its border. So everybody, all the illegal crossings went elsewhere. They went to more Democrat states. It sounds bad to I don’t mean to chuckle over it, but they left Texas. They were going to California and everywhere else. In terms of securing that ability to be as strong on the border as possible, what would you do as senator in a Trump administration to make it to give our government here even more muscle and allow them to and partner with the federal government in that?
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s pretty simple. I think we saw when Trump was in office the first time that the order, the laws that we have related to immigration, illegal immigration are effective because he President Trump implemented those laws well. And you can see the difference between him and other presidents, including Republican presidents. And then you saw Joe Biden come in and say, no, the laws are not enough. So I’m not going to enforce the ones we have. We need more laws. And we saw what happened. We had an influx of millions of people and the cartels were making billions. And then President Trump comes back in and starts implementing the same laws. And guess what? Illegal immigration comes to a trickle relative to what it was. So I would say as a senator, instead of criticizing the border wall, I would help Donald Trump build that wall. I would not only fund it, but I would be out promoting it because guess what? We all know that walls work in the appropriate places. And given that Senator Cornyn is not a fan, he’s said it many, many times, and I’m sure he’ll change his position on that. But for a very long time, he has fought that idea. And we need a senator that cares about Texas more than he does Ukraine.
SPEAKER 19 :
There you go. We’re talking with Attorney General Ken Paxton. I wanted to ask you two quick things. First on the Tesla stuff, the protests, the different Tesla, not so few of them are actual protests and they descend into like vandalism. And, you know, I mean, it’s the left and you know how the left operates. What are your thoughts on these these leftists, these violent leftists targeting Tesla? Tesla drivers, Tesla dealerships. I mean, I have friends on the right, left and the center general that all drive Teslas. And even though my friends on the left are terrified that they’re going to be targeted by members of their own ideology because of the car they drive.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s crazy. Look, it’s like the old days when I had Democratic friends that loved Chick-fil-A, but they couldn’t get caught with a Chick-fil-A leftover Chick-fil-A wrapper in their car. So that’s what this is like. I mean, look, it’s a great product. You would think the left would like it because they’re electric, and you would think they’d love it. No, we don’t like it now because we don’t like Elon because he’s doing these other things we don’t like, and so we’re against it. So it’s very contradictory, and, of course, it just highlights the hypocrisy of the left. when you’ve got a great product from a guy that’s doing a great job, and just because they disagree with him politically, they’re willing to sabotage innocent people who are driving really well-made cars.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. Title nine. You are reading this post that you had on almost a tweet that you had on X. You secured an agreement with Dallas ISD to ensure that the district is not violating Texas law by allowing boys to play in girls sports. And you underscored what so many of us here are thinking. Biological males have no place in girls sports. Any Texas public schools doing it otherwise will be held accountable. This is one of those issues, General, as you know. where you’ve gotten people in the middle and even people on the left that are like, Republicans are the most normal people in the room now. This is the most normal position to have. And the left still doubles down on being abnormal about it. Talk to us about this, about the penalties for disenfranchising women in athletics in the Republic of Texas.
SPEAKER 07 :
think about it this is our educational system in texas this is texas we’re not in like new hampshire or or vermont we’re in texas we’ve got school districts that are promoting illegally it’s illegal in texas to promote this idea that men participate against women in sports you can’t do it it’s not allowed and it’s very clear and yet we have these dallas ic which we just got an agreement that they will not do this anymore Now, we have others like Richardson and Hutto and Irving that we’ve investigated, and we’re going to force the same thing, which is force these school districts, which should want to follow the state law, which should not want girls to be disadvantaged. And yet here we are fighting with them over the most common sense things that you would think we wouldn’t even have to have a fight up. But we do. And we’re in the middle of that fight and we’re going to win it. We’re going to make these people stop promoting boys and girls sports. It’s just not fair. It’s wrong.
SPEAKER 19 :
Are you going are you planning to debate John Cornyn?
SPEAKER 07 :
your side no problems debating i had no problem debating john corn so yeah i don’t know i don’t know how that’s all going to work out that’s my first cent race ever it’s a it’s a new thing for me but you know look it I know, you know, he’s going to focus on personal attacks because he’s on a record defense. He doesn’t want to talk about his record. He’s going to run from it. And he’s going to try to adopt my positions and Trump’s positions and make it look, this is the fraud that we have. He’s accused me of being a fraud. It’s pretty fraudulent to come out now and adopt all these new positions that he’s never had. And we all know it. I have quotes from him about all kinds of different issues that we all, as Republicans,
SPEAKER 19 :
agree on but not john cornyn because he’s aligned with the uh you know whatever you want to call it swamp in washington dc and you know last quick point you know general this is something i’ve noticed whether it’s in florida or texas especially some of the rhinos that were going after you uh completely without substance just you know an absolute witch hunt because i guess they thought that all the drama surrounding trump and that witch hunt in new york was going to was going to give him cover but there’s a real problem with republicans that aren’t actually republican And they’re really Democrats cosplaying as Republicans. It’s trans-publican. They’re not actual Republicans. And just your last quick thought on that, because I think that’s why there’s so much friction between you and some of these rhinos out there.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s disgusting because they pretend to be one thing. They go do different things that don’t represent us. That’s how I started this. He doesn’t represent us. And here’s a guy that was a Supreme Court judge in Texas who accused Trump of being basically insinuated that he was guilty and basically insinuated that I would be in prison. What about the Constitution, John? What about believing as a judge and as a U.S. senator in the Constitution, innocent until proven guilty, due process? Not for John, when it’s political, he’ll throw that aside and start accusing Donald Trump and me or insinuating that we’re guilty and we should go away. Well, guess what, John? Fairness, due process, and the truth actually matter.
SPEAKER 19 :
You do. There you go. Attorney General Ken Paxton running for U.S. Senate. Good to see you, sir. We’ll have you back. Thanks so much for your time.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right. Thank you. Have a great day.
SPEAKER 19 :
Of course. You too. And that is true. I mean, you got these really soft, Republicans out there. And one of the reasons that I get so aggravated about the Senate seat is because you have a chance to be a real firebrand in this Senate seat. And I don’t see that from the current representation. I don’t see bravery. I don’t see sitting on national reciprocity for however many years and not doing anything with it and then only coming out with it. I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. And I get very frustrated about it, as I’m sure a lot of you out there do. If you work long hours and struggle to wind down at night, you’re not alone.

SPEAKER 15 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 19 :
So apparently there was an earthquake that just hit the San Diego area. What’s the 6.7? Apparently earthquake that just hit the Southern California, San Diego area. So far, it’s not trending yet on social, but it was just like minutes ago. So we’ll keep an eye on that. POTUS has authorized the Pentagon to take over public land at the southern border. They’ve been planning for weeks to potentially use this Pentagon controlled zone as a place to temporarily hold illegal entrance. It’s actually a pretty big section. I was actually I was shocked when I saw on the on a map how much land this is. But that means they’re going to have the military down there. And there’s it’s going to be a no go zone. No bueno right there. And that section of the border measles cases have written have risen to 700 now. And some are saying that that’s more pressure for RFK Jr. I don’t know why it’s more pressure for RFK Jr. Texas has the highest number. I mean, I’ve got some theories here. Got theories. Sure. It’s 712 approximately new cases being discovered in Kansas, Ohio and Indiana. Also now, according to the CDC, they say it’s an outbreak and it’s spread to 25 different states. Now, Denmark has a new. Oh, interesting. A recent study out of Denmark has raised a very troubling question. Could tattoo ink play a role in the development of certain types of cancers? Interesting. Comes from Future Sciences. It’s this that cites this study from Denmark. They say the particles can travel to lymph nodes or even other organs. The skin’s body’s protective barrier. Some are wondering, is it toxic? Is it could there be like a chronic immune response that may lead to abnormal cell growth over time? And they say that the tattoos covering large areas bigger than the size of your palm may be linked to a higher risk. And that supports the idea of what they say is a dose effect, meaning the more ink that’s injected, the greater the chance of triggering an inflammatory response. Black and red, even common ink colors, could contribute to this. Researchers caution that if the body doesn’t tolerate the ink well, it could lead to long-term inflammation. I believe that, but I also think it extends beyond that. I think it’s the products that, like you use lotion, you use hand lotion. Anything that you put on your skin, sunblock, all that stuff. I think all of that stuff is, you know, can, is part of that. This, let’s see, police officers dress up as Batman and Robin in a bizarre undercover sting. Well, if you thought, Dana, does this have to do with Britain? Yes, it does. It does. Absolutely. They are doing the sting operation to catch con artists on Westminster Bridge, very popular area for tourists. So they had Metro police officers running through swarms of people, reprimanding suspects, catching suspects. They are using creative tactics because criminals began recognizing the police from afar. And so it’s the Lambeth Met Police. They started dressing up as literally masked superheroes. And it’s Pretty interesting. They’ve actually been catching these people running these schemes there. And it’s funny. That’s actually hysterical. Although the bucket hat makes me think it’s not legit. But, you know. And the man was arrested. Oh, gosh. Why? This is in Japan. Of course it is. Osaka. Prefectural police. They arrested a 43-year-old pervert from Kyoto who was sending used prophylactics with bodily fluids to a female colleague at the same post office like a stalker. Stick with us as you enjoy our new background. It is our friends at Kel-Tec. Got my hands on it. Shoots like butter. Well, not butter. I mean, it’s like a dream and everything runs like butter. It’s great. I’m really obsessed with butter today. PR 57. It’s from Kel-Tec. They’re one of their latest. They got another one coming out. In addition, that’s going to be crazy. That’s all I’m saying. But I think George Kellgren just like sits in his lab all day and comes up with new and innovative designs. It’s all he does all day long. I mean, it’s such a great story, this business. But if you have not checked out their latest, the PR… chambered in 5.7, the rotary barrel pistol from Kel-Tec. You need to check it out. You need to get it. I mean, for crying out loud, the MSRP is only $3.99, so it’s like super affordable. But it also is incredibly innovative the way that they made it the lightest 5.7 on the markets. And I’m not joking. It’s 40% lighter than the next lightest 5.7 that’s on the market. And they do this two ways. The rotary barrel, which makes it light, and then also the unique top-loading design that replaces the traditional magazine with a stripper clip. So you have a slimmer carry profile, 21 plus 1 capacity, and it also makes honest people out of the lefties who always say clips instead of mags. Low recoil for ease of use and accuracy. quickest and easiest field strip available. And like I said, that MSRP of only $399, that makes it easily accessible. It’s the first of its kind.

SPEAKER 03 :
The Democrats are in, and it is this photograph of Governor Gretchen Whitmer standing in the White House. Can we bring that pic up? It’s a picture of Gretchen Whitmer hiding her face while standing in the newly goldified Oval Office. She’s there to make deals for Michigan and talk about tariffs that she supports in a targeted way, etc., etc. But a photographer comes in, all of a sudden she’s like trying to hide behind a notebook. I mean, you didn’t do this, so you don’t need to justify a congresswoman. But what’s going on with your party? Like, what is that?
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, I can’t believe I’m saying that that’s actually a decent question to ask. It was Jake Tapper on CNN talking about this. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That’s I mean, that’s weird. I mean, you’re there. No one thinks that the governor of a state isn’t going to talk to you. the President of the United States and meet with them. No one thinks that. And I would just think, why is she so sensitive about having her photo taken there when she had no problem? You guys remember the weirdo influencer thing that they did during the election cycle where she did this interview with this weirdo podcaster and she fed this podcaster. The podcaster got on her knees and as Juan’s showing you right now, And Whitmer fed her Doritos out of a bag while wearing a Tim Walls hat. And it was just so weird. It’s just weird. She didn’t feel like hiding her face from that, but she feels like hiding it inside of the Oval Office. I would have been like, look, if you don’t. want to be here and be a grown up and talk about things that you need for your state, then you can march your happy little white ass right outside, you know, the Oval Office and you can walk right back down the hall and right out of the White House and you can get in your little car and right back to the airport. That’s where you can go. You know, unless you want to be a big kid. This is also performative. Grow up. You’re in the Oval Office. No one expects you. Well, except I think that’s maybe more your party than anything else in the world. No one thinks that you shouldn’t. You’re a governor. It’s not they’re not going to think it’s weird if you are talking to the president of the United States. It’s not a weird thing. You are there advocating for the people of your state. It doesn’t. Right. No one thinks it’s weird, Cain, that a Democrat governor is going to talk to the Republican governors that went and met with Biden and Obama.
SPEAKER 15 :
Only mentally ill Democrats will do things like this.
SPEAKER 19 :
Stand there, put a binder up. I can’t tolerate that stuff. Nothing sets me off faster than just performative nonsense. It is. I have some. I have several things that are pet peeve. That’s like my number one, like overdramatic people. I cannot stand dramatic people. It is my biggest pet peeve. I cannot stand it. I can’t stand drama seekers. I can’t stand drama queens, male or female. I cannot stand it. That is drama. That is such drama to stand in the Oval Office and put a binder over your face because you don’t want the White House photographers. They already know you’re there, girl. They know you’re there. You should have hid your face when you were feeding Doritos to a podcaster on her knees, like with all the sexual innuendo. That’s when you should have hid your face. Instead, she looked right at the camera with that goofy Elmer Fudd cap on. This is so weird. I don’t understand the left. Why are they so weird? They’re weird. Just doesn’t make any sense. that’s the kind of stuff that makes it to where we can’t have nice things. We can’t get anything done because you guys are too busy thinking that you’re in theater. They all are theater kids. Okay, I got some media stuff that I didn’t get to. So first and foremost, let me pull this up. I saw this over at Red State. This is funny. Headline, archaeologists find a child sacrifice altar in Guatemala and CBS really, really spun it in a very special way. So archaeologists excavated this altar that I mean, from a people from modern-day Mexico City that showed that they really had traveled deep into Mayan territory. And the altar, apparently, they found the remains of three young children. And they said they were not older than four years old. They were found on three sides of the altar. And apparently, they were like a child sacrifice type of people. And that was a child sacrifice altar. They said that they were used for sacrifices, especially of children. And… CBS, they could have stopped at that story. Right at that. They could have stopped right there. You got enough from that, right? From that story. You’re like, wow, that’s really messed up. Wow, stuff that people believed in back then. Right, move on with your life. Nope, nope. Nope, not if you’re CBS. So they had to go and find an expert. Now here’s, this is how they put it. Quote, Maria Belen Menendez, an archaeologist who was not involved with the project, really has no idea what the hell’s happening. There’s never been there, doesn’t know anything about it. Anyway, she was involved with the project, said the discovery confirms that there had been an interconnection between both cultures and what their relationships with their gods and celestial bodies was like. She said, quote, we see how the issue of sacrifice exists in both cultures. It was a practice. It’s not that they were violent. It was their way of connecting with celestial bodies. Kane, is there any way to spin child sacrifices being nonviolent?
SPEAKER 15 :
I don’t see how. I mean, they didn’t succeed.
SPEAKER 19 :
If it has to do with like pushing some sort of left leftist narrative, then yes, it’s not. I mean, it’s not violent. The violent thing about killing kids on the altar, you know, to appease some gods. Apparently that’s not that’s not violent. Good night.
SPEAKER 15 :
Freedom of religion.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s this noble savage myth. Can we just disregard the noble savage? That’s like a phrase. The ideology that everyone in South America and the United States was perfect until you damn dirty white Europeans came here. You horrible people. So I have half of my ancestry that was totally fine here in the United States as indigenous people. And then my white European people came over and they intermingled and ruined everything. They ruined all of it. They messed up the child sacrifices and everything that we had good going on here, Cain. I’ll be damned. But that’s the whole thing, right? Like Native Americans, American Indians were completely peaceful people that just were super helpful and never engaged in any kind of warmonger. I mean, forget the fact that they would butcher each other. So I always laugh when the Lakota are like, wow, you guys stole Mount Rushmore for us. Who the hell did y’all steal Mount Rushmore for and from? And who did they steal Mount Rushmore from? Every nation exists on the back of the conquered today. There were a people before them and a people before them and a people before them. And only and only if you disregard that, are you an ahistorical, just absolutely a liberal moron. So this idea that, oh, it was all, they could not just say, wow, that’s pretty messed up. They were killing kids on altars and sacrificing four-year-olds. Crazy. How crazy is that? They have to go, no, no, no. They have to go with the noble savage ideology. No, no, no. This mythology that leftists surround themselves with. No, no, no. They weren’t violent because it was about connecting with celestial bodies. That’s what it was about. So see, how dare you assume the worst of these people killing children on an altar of child sacrifice. It had to do, Cain, with connecting to celestial bodies. If your God requires you to cut up kids, multiple children, and fulfill that at the altar, don’t cite Abraham because that was testing Abraham’s faith and God intervened and nothing ever happened to his son. So disregard anti-biblical, illiberal snots. But… If your God’s like, yeah, go ahead and bring all these babies up here and cut them up on the altar, your God sucks. Sorry, your God sucks. I’m not sorry about it. You just need to be made aware of this because apparently no one in your life loves you enough to tell you this. Then that’s weak, right? That’s weakness. So this idea that, no, it’s all noble and it’s all until the Europeans came over. I’m not saying the Europeans did everything great, obviously. But this idea that there is like some perfect group of people that existed and never and were sinless and problemless, even up to the point that now their child sacrifice is just about connecting the celestial entities. That is and that’s absolute. That’s a historical fact. That’s what’s not based in science or history or reality. But CBS, they had to go through that. See, when they took kids and they were cutting off their bodies and ripping their hearts out on these slabs of stone, they were just trying to connect to their celestial bodies. And you not understanding that is white privilege. Kane, if you don’t understand that, that’s your white part. You’re being bigoted against yourself.
SPEAKER 15 :
Sorry to hear that.
SPEAKER 19 :
So mean, right? I mean, they were just trying to connect to their pagan gods. It’s like Planned Parenthood today. Planned Parenthood are their modern day stone tablet Mayan Aztec sacrifices. That’s exactly what they are.
SPEAKER 15 :
Literally typing that.
SPEAKER 19 :
Planned Parenthood is these buildings that exist in all different cities around the country. Planned Parenthood is nothing more than the modern day child sacrifice altar of ancient Aztec and Mayan peoples. That’s exactly what it is today. And people would like it more if, or they would actually have less, they would have more of a problem with abortion if it was done with AR-15s than if it was done with people who said that they were there not to hurt. Like, you know, nurses, physicians, things like that. These are, this is the reality of the life that we live. It’s true. You guys know it is. I said it purposely because you guys know it’s true. So this, I just think it’s, that’s how CBS, they couldn’t just report that. CBS had to go, oh my gosh, this sounds… Mean. We’ve got to go figure out a way to make this more acceptable and palatable for our audiences. Let’s bring in Randall expert who has no idea about any of this. Well, they were just connecting, as you see, to celestial bodies. I mean, what are the excuses over Planned Parenthood? What celestial bodies are they trying to connect to? See, same altar, just different purpose. Same thing every time. So I how dare those Europeans come in and colonize that colonize that child sacrifice right the hell out of culture. Just amazing. Right. So mean. So that’s one bad media. Then you got this one bad media example. ABC’s John Carl asks if Trump tariffs are going to turn American workers into a nation of cobblers. I guess I got to give him a point for knowing what a cobbler is. Right. They had Howard Lutnick on with Stephanopoulos and they were talking about Trump’s tariff policy. Right. And they were also discussing U.S. Customs and Borders, this notice that they posted Friday that includes the items of exemption from these tariffs, the smartphones, computer monitors, various electronic parts, etc., And there was some confusion because POTUS had said there were not going to be any any exceptions made to the announcements. Nobody’s going to see an exception. And then there were some exceptions. But Lutnick, he joined. And then Carl, Jonathan Carl said, you know, he was joined by Lutnick. He says, I appreciate your time. He says that, you know, asked why the exemption. But then he got really snotty about it. And he said, you know, why are these exempt from these reciprocal tariffs? And then he like kept going up about it. And he said this. He was discussing jobs. And, you know, well, who else is going to again, who else is going to do these jobs? This is what he said. He said, quote, I mean, we buy a lot of shoes in this country. Ninety nine percent of them are made elsewhere. Are we going to become a nation of cobblers again? Were we ever a nation of cobblers? And what’s so bad about cobbling? Right? When were we ever a nation of cobblers?
SPEAKER 15 :
That just seems like a… Well, shoes these days, you can’t just cobble them anymore.
SPEAKER 19 :
They’re just kind of like… He doesn’t know that. He just goes to the store and he’s like, shoes. Oh my gosh, shoes. Old. That’s an oldie. And… I would love to be as high on myself as these people on the left are. I mean, what are we going to turn into a nation of cobblers? What? They have no idea where products come from. They just magically appear for these prince and princesses in the store. It’s amazing. They don’t know where shoes, John Carl, came from the elves. The elves, they whittle the wood and they make these little shoes and then they set them right there. Just give them the tasks. That’s all they require. They don’t require a lot.
SPEAKER 15 :
They don’t own trees or anything?
SPEAKER 19 :
What?
SPEAKER 15 :
I thought they grew on trees. They don’t grow on trees?
SPEAKER 19 :
No, no, no. Well, the elves might live in the trees, but we all know that the elves, they cobble together all the shoes, right? I see. As you sleep. That’s where they come from. I’m just going to let him think that. A nation of cobblers again. What in the hell does that even mean? He’s talking about what a nation of being able to be self-sufficient, a nation that after we were bombed without provocation by the Japanese in World War II, that turned around and immediately had its fleet destroyed. repatriated back into the ocean with all U.S. materials and all U.S. labor force. That kind of nation of cobblers, the nation of cobblers that not only funded our requirements during World War II, but all of Europe’s requirements and kept our eyes on the Pacific theater and made sure that we had everything that we need to handle various fronts. That kind of nation of cobblers, the kind of nation of cobblers that after World War II, everybody went home and they were able to afford a home and raise a family and create the greatest economic powerhouse that this planet has ever seen. That kind of nation of cobblers. I need these Tupperware fresh cobblers. Self obsessed academic activists to stop celebrating themselves and maybe start paying a little bit more attention to American history and celebrate these achievements that you look down so poorly upon now.

SPEAKER 11 :
The military had been turned into a social experiment. Apparently they’ve been looting the coffers in Washington for a long time of hundreds of billions of dollars, terminating the lives of our children. I mean, we all know the litany of things that are happening. It feels like it’s going to take a determination from the people of faith if we’re going to see this walked back to the place it needs to be for the sake of our children.

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 19 :
I need to tell you about this hairy caterpillar. Okay, so Florida, you got not just Florida Man or Florida Woman to look out for. You got the Florida… tussock tussock tussock which is it moth caterpillar they’re emerging looking for a place to cocoon they are all over everywhere and they if you see them don’t touch them don’t look at them because they can give you a rash there are these hairy worms caterpillars whatever And they’re trying to find a place to make their cocoons. If you do come in contact with one of these hairy caterpillars, you’re supposed to remove hairs. Just shoot the damn thing. Remove hairs with tape. Wash the area with soap and water. Apply ice or baking soda. Why do we have these? You know why flamethrowers were invented? Well, yes, to get fire over there without going over there. But also to kill these things.
SPEAKER 15 :
People burn their houses down, dude.
SPEAKER 19 :
They’re so bad. Sorry, but there was a hairy caterpillar. I didn’t know what to do, officer. Well, we understand that, ma’am. Boys, she set her house on fire because she was trying to set alight this furry caterpillar. And a Florida man was arrested for illegally renting out a home that he didn’t own. A man with a high and tight that’s so tight his mouth is all pulled back. I don’t understand what’s happening here. This dude… This woman moved to Florida. She walked into a nightmare. She discovered a man renting the home that she was going to, like she was moving into and didn’t actually own the property. It turned into a whole big thing. We’ll come back to this tomorrow. We have a third hour on the way. Don’t go anywhere. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024, consistently reaching new highs.

SPEAKER 16 :
We begin this hour with the chaos. The average American sees chaos. The American people see chaos. It’s total chaos. You brought chaos.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s just complete chaos. Unleashed in economic chaos. They unleash chaos. They are creating chaos.
SPEAKER 21 :
This chaos. There’s too much chaos.
SPEAKER 16 :
Total chaos. And amidst the chaos. Gonna see chaos. After seeing all the chaos. The chaos is unleashed on America.
SPEAKER 02 :
Continue to see the chaos. Economic chaos.
SPEAKER 16 :
A lot more chaos. Trump’s chaos. This is chaos. With such chaos.
SPEAKER 02 :
The chaos. Because of this chaos.
SPEAKER 26 :
Chaos. All of this chaos. Uncertainty and chaos. Given all that chaos. When it’s chaos. All the chaos.
SPEAKER 16 :
Chaos and confusion grow. It’s more chaos, dysfunction. The chaos is the purpose. The chaos is the goal. It’s chaos.
SPEAKER 19 :
Huh.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, it almost sounds like a K-pop band.
SPEAKER 19 :
Chaos. So much chaos. So much chaos. Talking points went out. It’s like the points went out. The talking points went out. About, you know, the chaos. Welcome back, folks. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this third hour. In case you can’t tell, that was Democrats trying to figure out how to make that catch, how to just describe everything that’s happening with this administration as being total chaos. And it doesn’t feel like total chaos, although that is part technically of the Sun Tzu, his art of the deal, Sun Tzu. And that’s kind of the approach. Welcome back. Again, top of this third hour. You got the talking points. The talking points are out. But that’s not how everybody’s seen it. Voters aren’t seeing it that way. I saw a couple of other polls. Let me pull this up. I sent one to myself and I was looking for it actually on break. Where did I send it? That’s the great thing. Don’t know. I see this and I’m testing different online bookmarking systems that I keep track of everything with. And I sent I just randomly like sometimes I accidentally send like you or Chris stuff that I meant to send just me. And you guys are like, what is this? But I saved this. There was a couple of new surveys out showing that people are just very… They’re pleased. They’re very pleased with the way things are going right now. And the chaos and the narratives of the left, that’s not really taking. It’s not really taking at all. Very interesting stuff. Can I talk about the Blue Origin thing really quick? I know everybody loves… space travel. And we mentioned this at the top of our first hour, Katy Perry, because you know that they went up with Lauren Sanchez. Lauren Sanchez is the only one of the celebrities that can actually fly a chopper. Then you had three crew members, Gayle King for some reason, and Katy Perry for some reason. And she is so overdramatic. It’s tiring. Women like that exhaust me. It is exhausting. Men, how do you put up with it? For real. I don’t get it. I was talking to a girlfriend of mine over the weekend and we’re like, how do men deal with like dramatic women? We hate them like normal women hate over dramatic women. She’s vowing to put the A.S.S. in astronaut. She thought that sounded, I guess. I’m not kidding. She said that. That’s something that she had said. Part of Blue Origin’s all female crewed mission that went up this morning. And she gets out of the well, they went up in the air in a giant phallus. She told Elle magazine, space is finally, space is going to be finally glam. If I could take glam up with me, I would do that. We’re going to put the S in astronaut. Those were her quotes. That is a grown 40 something year old woman’s quotes to a female magazine about going to outer space. Wow. All right. What’d you say, Cain?
SPEAKER 15 :
We have cuts 21, 22, and 23.
SPEAKER 19 :
No, we don’t. No, we don’t. Are you serious? Okay, go. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 15 :
We did 21 already. We can do Gayle King here. Cut 22 if you want.
SPEAKER 19 :
No. It’s 23 when they were all screaming.
SPEAKER 15 :
Is it? I think that’s the one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, gosh. I’m sorry, guys. I got to play it. Oh, it is. Oh, gosh. There goes the phallus. Into the air. The giant space dog going into the air. It’s what it is. I’m sorry. I’m not going to apologize. I mean, what else is what was that, guys? No, that’s not AI. It’s a giant space dog. They’re going up in the air. When they landed, they were all screaming. That might be the crew. There was one when the capsule landed right as it touched down in Texas. And when they went in, when they took the mics of the women inside, all you could hear and it was it actually was distorting. All you could hear was if you find that you I mean, it’s so loud. All it sounds is just like shrieking. But they went up and those were the, Katy Perry’s not getting blowback because they’re saying that she was try too hard. Duh. She left, she got out of the space dong and came out and she held a daisy up to the sky and kissed it as a tribute to her daughter named Daisy. And then she got down and she like kissed the earth. You’re so dramatic. I have never gotten that dramatic over anything in my life. Nothing in my life have I ever been that dramatic about. It is so performative. And it doesn’t mean that those people feel more than you or I would feel. It just means they’re they’re ridiculous. That’s all it means. But they I just I don’t understand like those quotes. that she gave those, I’m not making any of that up. That’s actually what she said to media when they were asking her about this. And she said, I’m, we’re going to put the ass and astronaut, like the astronauts before did not have backsides. Like, what are you going to be jerks in space? Like, I don’t know. What does that even mean? Why didn’t they, why didn’t the report? I would have said, Katie, hold up. Um, does that mean you’re going to, you’re going to like bitches in space? What does that mean? Like, I don’t, when you say things like that, what does that mean? Or when space is going to finally be glam, And they go, well, what would you take? Because they went up in full makeup. You know, if it’s only 11 minutes, they’re going to be, I’m not begrudging that, but it’s just so dramatic, Kane. It makes me not like space.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it’s weird.
SPEAKER 19 :
Why did they have to come back? I mean, I like Lauren Sanchez and the crew members, but why did those other two have to come back, especially her?
SPEAKER 15 :
I think that’s the design of this particular flight. Isn’t this like something that they’re going to offer now, people, for a certain price, where they can just go up, check out space for a little bit, and then come back home screaming?
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, we don’t even have to have the giant space ding-a-ling to do that. We can just, like, yeet them into the stratosphere for free, you know? You get a powerful enough trebuchet, get a nice counterweight on that, you can just, you know, yeet, and they’re gone.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it’s science.
SPEAKER 19 :
Science. Love science. I noticed that Lauren Sanchez was the most normal one that got out, and the crew members. The crew members and Sanchez were just like, whatever. And Gayle King was, oh my gosh! I gotta go! And I don’t know if Oprah was there. She was back in front of Oprah. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 15 :
Kissing the ground, really.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, they’re kissing the ground. Like, you were up there for 11 minutes. Or the whole thing lasted 11 minutes. You were up there for, like, two. Come on. Calm thyself, ladies. So… I said, well, I don’t like riding roller coasters with women. So I don’t like, I wouldn’t get on the giant space phallus to go to, you know, space with women. I just can’t, I can’t even, I don’t know. But to say that, like, that’s the, those are the quotes that you give to him. So you imagine you’re a young girl and you’re like interested in being an astronaut or maybe working for SpaceX and you, See Katy Perry, who had a really failed last album, but whatever. And, you know, she, you know, is doing an interview about this. And she’s like, I’m going to put the ass back on astronaut and take glam up with me. What does that even mean? Take glam? It’s space. Who are you trying to impress in space? No one’s going to buy her album there either. I’m not sorry. It’s true. What else do I have here? Yeah. Why did they have to come back? Like send them up there, but just leave them there. You know, I’m except for, I like Sanchez. I know she gets a lot of gruff, but she flies a chopper. She does all this other stuff. She actually has some skills. So, you know, But yeah, why do they have to bring them back? A few other things as we move here. Let me get my rundown. I just don’t know where I went. I disappeared. So we got Stephen Yates coming up. We’re going to be talking to him about some of the latest with China, etc. So I know you’re not going to want to miss any of that because I have a million questions for him. This, oh, let’s see, what else do we, I’m looking for one particular story. Oh, here’s this, by the way, here’s the survey, one of the surveys that I had. I’m pulling this up. I saw this over, RCP cited it. And it is a survey that gets into how Americans believe Republicans care more about people and Democrats are the party of people no more. And the crazy thing is that this was a CNN survey. And you could tell. So I watched this. And we don’t need to play this video. I watched it. And they were not entirely sure of their own results. They were shocked by their own results. You had Harry Enten, who was talking to Cable Dan. And they were discussing this new survey that says Americans are split. They’re not really split. That’s the first spin. They’re split when they’re asked which party cares most about their needs. Well, it’s actually not. They’re actually not split. In fact, it shows that more Americans than not believe that the GOP. cares more about you know the average everyday american worker the average everyday american and democrats definitely do not and they tried so hard to spin this so harry enton went all the way back to like the early aughts to try to be like well you know to offset this jarring fact for them but they um they never actually got into why that was why those results were the way they were They didn’t actually touch on any of that. And they didn’t dive into what they thought Democrats could do to make any of that better. They just were in disbelief. And it almost felt like they felt betrayed by American voters. And you could just sort of sense this animosity building as they talked about this story. It was very interesting. My point is that the… The sentiment of the American public, part of being so out there in front of everybody all the time and having all of this information out there is that people are seeing it. They’re reacting to it. That is a great way to counter all of this narrative, like the chaos. You know how we came into this hour with all the chaos soundbites. This is a really that’s a great way for them to counter all of that, because you can’t lie about what these people are seeing in front of their face every single day, whether it’s on Facebook or X or or true social or television, wherever they you they see it. You can’t lie to them about it. And that’s what’s good about always being up there in front. in front of people. And I also think it’s easier for Trump to arrest the headlines this time around because the media, even though they hate him, they didn’t have that with Biden at all. And I think that they’ve they’ve been starved and they’re eating this up. I mean, great. Yeah, of course, they’re going to try to spin everything that he does is horrible. But the fact is that what they’re saying isn’t reflecting. It doesn’t reflect what you’re seeing. from Trump or any of the admin. So it’s been fun to watch. What does living better mean to you? Is it more money, a bigger house? Now think about this. What about how you feel physically every day? Life is so much better when you feel good.

SPEAKER 15 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 19 :
I feel like I got to do the doot-doots whenever we play Duran Duran. Like, you know, hungry like the wolf. You got to do the doot-doots. Like, you got to, I don’t care. You got to air karaoke it. Air karaoke, or just karaoke it. You know what I mean? All right, anyway, moving on. We got Steven Yates coming up. So, I had this story. I’ll get on this one. National Park Discovery has rewritten human history. They said there’s an evidence of 22,000-year-old vehicles hiding beneath the sand. I’m sorry, what? Yes, vehicles. They said that it’s White Sands National Park. And they said that there’s been some things that they found, you know, like the largest collection of Ice Age footprints, you know, some other activities. And then apparently like a primeval vehicle that they said looks a little bit like a wheel barrel without the wheel made with long sticks and a basket or net. And it has lifted handles that move the basket attached to sticks. You can glide heavy cargo across the sand. And… I don’t think that’s a vehicle, sorry. That’s, there are two sticks that you cross and then you, this is, we’ve seen this before, anyone’s been doing this forever. And then you put the whatever across the two sticks and then you put your cargo here and it’s tied. So it’s like an A or an X and it’s tied. And oh my gosh, seriously, that’s not a vehicle. I get that they really want to find some of this stuff, but at the same time, that seems a little bit over the top, I gotta say. Let’s see. Moving on. Oh, to escape the grind, young people are turning to many retirements. Many temporary retirements in order to escape the grind. It’s a new article that’s out saying that people in the U.S., they’re You know, they’re just trying to take little retirements, micro retirements, in fact. And then they take some micro retirement and then they go back to work. Oh, we had a name for that. It sounds like a vacation. What is up with Gen Z? Gen Z is like, we are doing cafes at home. You’re just making your coffee at home. We are taking micro-retirements. You’re just literally taking a vacation. This is the Meghan Markle-ing, elevating everything with flower sprinkles. Stop it. Cannot deal. Let’s see. Minnesota proposal would impose a tax on social media platforms based on the number of users. That’s so goofy. They think it’s the first of its kind in the company. A company that has more than one million users would pay six figures. You also pay something per person on each of the sites there. Or maybe you guys could spend less and you wouldn’t be so desperate for revenue. Steven Yates to join us next. If you work long hours and struggle to wind down at night, you’re not alone.

SPEAKER 19 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the bottom of this third hour. And as you know, listen coast to coast, Channel 347, DirecTV as well, X, Rumbles where the chat is, all that good stuff. Very interesting comparison between the president of El Salvador sitting in the Oval Office with POTUS and then Zelensky sitting in the Oval Office with With POTUS, that is that is a renaissance masterpiece to comparisons of of two different leaders. And Trump is the same dealing with both. Joining us right now, a very good friend, Stephen Yates, as you know, Mr. Yates worked in not one but two presidential administrations. He is an expert on all things foreign policy, particularly China. He’s a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He joins us now. I wanted to ask you, I’m going to get into the Ukraine stuff and then we’re going to talk about China. But the president of El Salvador, that seemed like a good partnership. Him sitting there with POTUS and they were talking about how he can’t repatriate an El Salvadoran who was in America illegally. And I just thought that their rapport was very good. They’re on very good terms. What did you make of the way also that he kind of pushed back on the press, especially when CNN was pressing him? Well, why can’t you just send this guy back? And he’s like, well, why can’t I? He doesn’t live in the U.S.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, number one, I thought that this was a great representation for the new movement that’s in our hemisphere. We have in several different places leaders who are not buying woke. They are going ahead and owning their Latin-based language, which makes clear that There are things male and things female. I thought that he dealt very, very effectively with the president and with the press and had something to say. And even though the press might hate it, he said in very simple terms what this proposition is. If you have someone who’s a citizen of my country who has illegally gone to yours, is part of a gang that is illegal and gets sent back, no, I’m not giving him back. He’s going to prison. That’s just the end of it. So, you know, it really might wreck a lot of galaxy brains, but I think a lot of the Spanish-speaking world gets this pretty clear.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s… Is that… I’m hopeful, but I don’t want to be naive. Am I… Right. And thinking that that might be a trend for countries and maybe the, you know, the Caribbean, the South American, you know, the Central American where I mean, yes, we got Malai. Now we also have this president in El Salvador. I mean, is this going to be something that we’re seeing more conservative administrations in some of these Central and South American countries?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, there’s going to be elections where the center-right, libertarian, conservative, whatever the new flavor name is, for candidates that come up. But it’s also, to be fair, it’s going to depend on the United States really keeping up its commitment. We need to make sure that resources go in, that that crowds out in a positive way, the malign influences of China, the cartels, and the others who’ve taken unending advantage for far too long. A lot of families in these countries are just pining away for the opportunity to just be themselves in their own country. They’d rather be at home and be able to thrive at home. And they want to see the security that’s come to El Salvador be something that’s sustained. So it’s one thing to have a pause. in the chaos, but they want to see if I make this bet and we risk our country, is the U.S. going to stay and is this security and economic opportunity going to be real? For now, I think it is. But I thought this was a young leader, spoke clearly, good-looking guy on camera. I mean, he’s got a lot of future if he can hold this stuff together, and I think he will.
SPEAKER 19 :
If he can hold it together, that’s the key thing. Talking with our friend Stephen Yates, I wanted to switch gears and ask you about China, particularly as it relates to the tariffs, because I saw something from the Brookings Institute where it shows that the CCP is flooding world markets well I mean it looks like they’re flooding world markets with subsidized goods how do you interpret that
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, this is what the experts call non-tariff barriers, which in talking to ordinary Americans, you might as well be making barking noises from the corner because it doesn’t make any sense. What are you talking about? This is just something that is not what trade lawyers are negotiating on. Are we having a 5% or 50% or 140% tariff? These are the things outside of those negotiations that get in the way of goods moving or moving are putting them out there at prices so far below market that it’s just nuking your industries. I’ll just take one example of something that’s in the headlines of the rare earths. We actually have mines in the United States that have the rare earths that we need and can mine them, can refine them without having to send them to China. But when China dumps those things back into our market at way below cost, these mines go out of business and can’t operate. So that’s done by subsidies, not by tariffs. And so I think we’ve had the shock of the world that we’re going to have a conversation about tariffs. But the next dose of spinach on your plate is there are these non-tariff barriers that China has been playing with to a fairly well for a generation. And that actually gets in the way of more of what needs to happen with trade.
SPEAKER 19 :
That makes sense. Talking with our friend Stephen Yates at Yates Comes On Next. I was reading to Politico saying that they’re choking off U.S. exports. They’re trying to, any way they can, to juice this trade war. I tend to view it as more of… a defensive move and not an offensive move from China. But I mean, you I trust your judgment on this. Is that the correct way to view it? I mean, it doesn’t I don’t think that we’re winning yet. I think that, you know, we’re putting up a good fight. But I also think that these moves from China, that doesn’t I just feel like a truly economically healthy nation. We’re in that we’re we’re facing off with the US on this issue, they wouldn’t be making the decisions and the moves that China’s making right now.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, I think that this is a short-term power move by them, and the power isn’t as big as they think. As Trump might say, we have the better cards. But at the same time, we’re digging out of a generational bet that was bad. And so there are going to be disruptions. There’s going to be costs. Markets are going to fluctuate. They are biorhythms. They are not prophecies for where things are going. And so we’re going to go through this painful period of adjustment. But this is the pain that we created for ourselves by just going along, getting along for too long. And now, as they say, the chickens have come home to roost. And China. is basically forcing the issue. They could get a deal. They could smooth this stuff out if they wanted to. Now they’re forcing the decoupling, and that’s going to be a challenge. But we can do it. We have the resources. And if they want to deny access for a lot of those goods, what it’s going to mean is, like I said about those rare earths, or even the car parts that are going to Europe, all of a sudden, those things are going to be affordable for us to make for ourselves again. And those industries can get back to normal and don’t take this bad bet.
SPEAKER 19 :
Correct. One of the narratives that I’ve heard floating around as it relates to tariffs and China’s reaction, because I see so many people on the left trying to state that, well, Japan ends up, Japan’s actually siding with China on this, and this is forcing Japan to entertain a more peaceable relationship with China because of what Trump is doing. I don’t read it that way. How do you read Japan’s response and all of this in their relationship with China?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, people who make this argument must just get their wisdom from the prize package at the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks, because this is not real world news that they are citing. There is not a single example of Japan going along with China on a trade negotiation with the United States or anyone for that matter. It just doesn’t exist. And in fact, Japan was first in the world to come to the White House and say, we heard the announcement. We don’t like the announcement, but we’re your friend. We’re your security partner. And we’re here to negotiate. And let’s make a broad deal that works for both our countries. And so there’s an immense amount of empirical evidence that that assertion just has no legs to stand on. But it just doesn’t stop the chatterboxes from saying it.
SPEAKER 19 :
Who’s going to last longer in this battle, the United States or China? Who has the advantage here?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, we have a tremendous advantage. Our economy is larger in reality, not just on paper and imagination. Our consumer market is the oxygen that allows them to exist at all. But we do have political classes that are very short-sighted and will faint at not even a stiff wind blowing in their direction. And so we have to have steel. I think in Trump we have steel. That might be why some people don’t like him. It’s going to be why other people do like him. But they’re going to have to really have fortitude to see this through. And I think it’s economically and strategically the right thing to do. And even as hard as it is, as I’ve said repeatedly, China’s making us have to do this anyway. So we might as well do the right thing for ourselves and our allies now.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s a great way of looking at it. Like they’re, they’re going to make this, they’re doing this. This is the, I mean, there’s no way to look at it. This is just the best time. Really. There’s never a best time to do it, but this is a great time to do it. We got to be self-sufficient with all of this as well. One last quick thing for you in, in reading all of this, I, I caught that there’s concern from Hollywood and Mike, I immediately thought, well, the CCP is going to lean on the acting world to try to make its case for in the United States, but they’re upset about the ability to access all these movie screens in China. But then I read a smaller, it was like a piece on Substack. I just happened to run across it when I was reading about this, where they’ve been doing, coming out with so many domestic films that foreign films aren’t playing to the same audiences that they were 10 years ago and so it’s hard anyway for foreign films to now anymore get access to hollywood screens to say nothing of their whole censorship brigade that they got to go through what is your thought on this and i don’t think that’s a concern i mean we don’t have to have chinese movie screens for films to do well
SPEAKER 05 :
No, it was a financial play for a dying industry for a time. But, you know, that industry made a choice to fall out of love with America and try to chase those screens in a different country. And for all the crap they want to say about the right wing in America or President Trump and his supporters, They embraced a totalitarian system that engages in genocide and does horrible things to its people, its neighbors, poisoned the world, all the stuff. And they just embraced it with open arms to put filthy lucre in their pockets. Now, if the Chinese are going to say, I’m not going to let you have that filthy look or I’m still not going to look at these people and see them as moral storytellers for the current golden age. But they might want to think about falling back in love with America. And if they don’t believe it, fake it till they make it by doing some things that work for the rest of the world and maybe the country they live in. And that, again, might reawaken them to the power of the U.S. consumer market. So hope against hope. I get laughed at by friends when I get too optimistic about people reacting in these ways. But I got to be optimistic about something, Dana.
SPEAKER 19 :
There you go. I share your desire to be optimistic about something. So I stand with you on that. Our good friend Stephen Yates at Yates Comms. Always a pleasure. I mean, you can ask Stephen anything and he knows that. He’s a walking encyclopedia. So we are grateful for your expertise and so is the country. Thank you, my friend.

SPEAKER 17 :
These are sick people. Marco, do you have something to say about that?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I mean, Steven, I don’t understand what the confusion is. This individual is a citizen of El Salvador. He was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country. That’s where you deport people, back to their country of origin. Except for Venezuela, that wasn’t refusing to take people back or places like that. I can tell you this, Mr. President. No, the foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the President of the United States, not by a court. And no court in the United States has a right to conduct the foreign policy of the United States. It’s that simple. End of story. And that’s what the Supreme Court held, by the way, as to Marco’s point.
SPEAKER 09 :
The Supreme Court said exactly what Marco said, that no court has the authority to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. We want a case 9-0, and people like CNN are portraying it as a loss, as usual, because they want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children. But President Trump, his policy is foreign terrorists that are here illegally get expelled from the country, which, by the way, is a 90-10 issue.
SPEAKER 26 :
Well, Mr. President, you said that if the Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago. And they said that it must be facilitated.
SPEAKER 17 :
Why don’t you just say, isn’t it wonderful that we’re keeping criminals out of our country? Why can’t you just say that? Why do you go over and over? And that’s why nobody watches you anymore. You have no credibility. Please go ahead.
SPEAKER 19 :
He’s sitting over there. His smile just keeps getting, if you watch him, he’s just going. His smile gets bigger and bigger and bigger. That was good. And good on Marco Rubio. I haven’t always, you know, agreed with him or his approach on stuff. But I really do feel like I’ve said before that he’s really coming into his own and his position as secretary of state. And he’s exactly correct there. I think that’s, you know, that’s that’s completely accurate there. It’s interesting. Coming up tomorrow, one of the things that we’re going to discuss is this big New York Times piece about ADHD and then also this phrase autism epidemic that I keep hearing about. We have a piece. Lorraine’s got a piece up on Chapter Inverse Substack about that if you want to check that out for you subscribers out there. But the New York Times came around. They basically are admitting that the ADHD diagnoses were – A scam, basically. I’ve always been pretty caustic about all of that stuff because I think it was just for the longest time, I think it was just about punishing boys being boys. Growing up, I cannot tell you the number of boys who were in my class that were on Ritalin. In the 90s. Because they were just energetic. And you are in a system that is not designed for that. You’re in a system that is. It’s a system that’s built for basically. It’s a system that’s built for girls. And you have boys that they’re saying you got to keep still. And you have to sit. Boys are energetic. Anybody who doesn’t think so has literally never raised them. Clearly. They’re energetic. They have to get their energy out in order for them to sit. and do lessons when we homeschooled in elementary one of the things that we always did is we made sure that they got their energy out and they had a lot of time to play and a lot of time to you know to kind of tire their minds out enough to the point where they’re willing to sit practice cursive or you know
SPEAKER 15 :
do some of their lessons uh but we’ll talk about that tomorrow anyway uh today in stupidity came oh my lord lord okay sorry oh my lord you know that space mission that those ladies went up well apparently you can’t say mankind now because it’s bad so listen so explain to our audience why even a trip like this one all the trips that we take in the space benefit mankind
SPEAKER 22 :
So it benefits humankind, and I’m going to keep correcting the mankind and the man-made and the man-missions, because this is exactly what this mission is about. But it was a manned mission.
SPEAKER 15 :
It was manned by women.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, and you know that they had men in the control room as well.
SPEAKER 15 :
And there’s man in the word human.
SPEAKER 19 :
Why is that such a thing? Stop making, nobody cares anymore, feminists, nobody cares. Just Katy Perry needed a promotional vehicle for her album. I’ll be on Fox tonight, Fox Business as well, back tomorrow. God bless.
