SPEAKER 16 :
So welcome to the show. We don’t have any bricks here today. We did survive the storm from the other night, but I didn’t see any bricks that just like magically appeared. Dana Lash with you. And there’s a few things we got some housekeeping to do as it pertains to the party. So we got a couple of those things. I’ve got some other weird news for you. And then we’re also going to get into some we got some domestic stuff. We got some more on immigration, but the riots continued for the fourth hell. I don’t even remember how the hell long was it? How many days was it? My gosh, these people are so damn tiring. Is it four or five days where the riots are still continuing? I need to put some gin in my coffee to deal with this stuff. I’ve got a new coffee I’m trying out. The excuse we, there was the endless excuses that, Oh no, it’s everything is peaceful. It’s not peaceful. Then they tried to say, uh, that I feel like they’re trying to take a, uh, and by they, I mean the left, a limited, not limited government. They’re trying to act like they’re libertarians. And they have been saying that I thought conservatives were about conserving. And yet here they are, uh, supporting the federal, you know, like actual troops being put on the ground. The Marines, by the way, and correct me if I’m wrong on this. Let me look at my notes here. Give me one. I’m pulling this up because they refreshed. Okay, so in my notes, the Marines that are being sent there, they’re only being sent there to protect the federal buildings. Isn’t that what, did you read that or did you read anything differently? No.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s what I read.
SPEAKER 16 :
So they’re there to protect the federal buildings. And you guys kind of remember some of the stuff that was, you know, that’s happening with some of the federal buildings, whether it was the Occupy stuff, the BLM stuff, the Chaz Chop. They were destroying like courtrooms, courthouses, all of that stuff. And I’m just, you know, I’m like, well… Yeah, you’re going to need some Marines out there because the Guard’s not going to be able to do everything. And the Marines aren’t going to play around either, by the way. If you’re going to try to jack up a federal building, you’re going to get jacked. Just saying you’re going to be you’re going to get in trouble for that and they’re not going to tolerate it. And so, I mean, I’m totally fine with that. I think that there’s a difference. They’re not the way that a lot of people have been promoting this is that they’re just like sending Marines randomly out and they’re going to be like stopping people. I’m like, where are you people getting your news? This is one of the things I can’t stand. Like in the fog of information, you have some of the stupidest takes that are out there. And I’ve seen some folks on the right that have been saying this like, oh, well, I don’t know. Look, I get really capital L libertarian with a lot of enforcement stuff, for real. But that’s federal property, and I do understand the necessity of protecting that. And that’s what they’re talking about. And that frees the guard up to go and do other stuff. And that’s fine. So that’s all they’re doing. Did you see – we’re going to have a friend of mine on a little bit later. Did you see the tweet that Gavin Newsom put out? This was like yesterday right after we were off air. And it was a it was a tweet that he had where he had there were there were some soldiers that were, I guess, like at, you know, wherever they were being, wherever they were basing themselves out of in L.A. and. He they were all like laying on the ground and, you know, they were just kind of resting before I guess they had to go and do what they were supposed to do, their objective. And he goes, can you believe that they dumped them here, that Trump dumped these soldiers here with no water and fuel and. The veteran community, the comments on that post. Really could be its own scripted series. The comments on that post were one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my life because they I mean, they were dragging him like, tell us you have no idea what’s happening with the military without telling us. And it just felt like everything that they could try to, you know, it all comes back. It’s Trump. It’s Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, everything. Yeah, he had that on there, and he acted like they were dropped puppies, like they were dumped puppies somewhere. You sent your troops here without fuel and food, piled on top of one another, and he had this, and this is what our friend Jared Ogden’s coming on later to talk about. I sent this to you, Cain, last night. Didn’t it seem like it was dumped puppies, that he was acting like it was just somebody dumped some animals somewhere? Yeah. He goes, if anyone’s treating troops disrespectfully, it’s you at Donald Trump or real Donald Trump. I mean, and again, the commentary is this is what they’re doing. What are they supposed to be doing? I mean, they’re sitting there. How do you know that they have no fuel? They’re literally there in a in a makeshift base right now in Los Angeles because Gavin Newsom allowed everybody to run rampant and set buildings on fire. It’s the dumbest stuff ever. So this I don’t know, we’re we’re going to dive into this because there’s a lot of other things, including guess what? I never, ever want to hear the left talk about gun control ever again in my life ever. Listen to this headline. A this is they described it as a mass shooter who opened fire at a graduation party is just one of the illegal immigrants busted in these L.A. ice raids. This is a guy who’s 49 years old. He was arrested in these series of rapes. He’s a killer. He’s been convicted of second degree murder. He got kicked out of a high school graduation party and he returned with his gang and they fired into a group of 30 people, killing two and wounding seven, according to DHS. He is one of the individuals who was arrested. Also, the other guy that they arrested in these weekend raids. I mean, there’s a lot of it. There’s another guy. There’s a child predator that they arrested. There’s another guy who beats women. There’s another guy who killed his ex. All this stuff. This guy, 55-year-old Rolando Enriquez, he was sentenced to 37 years in prison for assault with intent to commit rape and a bunch of stuff that it’s actually a little bit too sensitive for me to share on air. the nature of his crime. He basically was trying to sodomize someone with a foreign object to death. That sets the table. He was one of the other guys that was arrested in these raids. I mean, there are at least six sex offenders, and I mean serious sexual predators. I’m not talking about somebody who hit on a 17-year-old, which is still underage. I’m talking about someone who tried to rape a minor, who did rape a minor, or something like that, or who rapes women. These are serious predators that have been rounded up. This is who these people are defending. and advocating for. I mean, they’re actually advocating for a guy who tried to kill a massive amount of people with an illegally obtained firearm. I thought that… That’s like the left’s whole shtick, isn’t it? To be against all this stuff? That’s what I thought. That’s what I thought, at least. This is unreal. So this is just like one of the things. There was also a guy who self-deported. He moronically… I guess was like, like kind of told on himself. They call him the world’s most followed TikTok star, KB Lame. Is that what his name is? Or Lame? What is it? I don’t even know. What the heck? The hell is this stuff? Is this TikTok star the stupidest thing ever? Anyway, he’s got 162 million followers on TikTok for some ungodly reason. He was detained by ICE in Vegas and he basically self-deported. What is he? He calls himself a fashion TikToker. Is that what he is? He is a citizen in Italy. He spent the majority of his life there. He was born in Senegal. He went back to Italy. And I said, yeah, he came in on April 30th and he overstayed the terms of his visa. So he does short humorous clips and I guess all that stuff. I don’t know what he is. I don’t know what he does. I just can’t believe that you can act – I’m just shocked. I don’t know. Anyway. But – He self-deported because he was he was going to get deported anyway. Yeah. Well, we have more on the way, including the defiant trans athlete who hits out at protests and attacks parents. because they’re mad that he’s competing against their girls. Also, do you want to hear about a stupid big spending Republican proposal? Because I got one for you. That’s coming up. We’re going to get into that. I have an update about the guy who tried to break into Mar-a-Lago and kidnapped Donald Trump Jr.’ ‘s daughter. He’s walking around my town square. Freely. We’re going to talk about this coming up as well. We also have Charles Payne who’s going to be joining us. He’s bringing the pain. I don’t know why. That should be a show.

SPEAKER 11 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, so Grandma’s Rule of Three is kicking back into gear. So we got Sly Stone, passed away age 82 after a long health battle. His family is mourning the Sly and the Family Stone singer as a true pioneer. The 82-year-old legendary frontman passed away. He had COPD. which I’ve seen commercials about. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. And apparently he also had other underlying health issues. So, all right, Kane, you got to get your dead pull out again, man. Because he’s one, so it starts three all over again. Got to have two more. I know it’s so morbid. My grandmother did this. You blame her. Don’t blame her too much because she’ll come back and haunt you. If any woman could, she would. She’d find a way. I’m saying. Can you… Okay, this is the… You know what a sommelier is, right? A sommelier is not someone from Somalia. A sommelier, I literally had someone actually misunderstand that one time. It is a person who is like the taster and whatever of water. Now they have a water sommelier. Per the New York Times, fine water. They are doing these water tastings. I’m not even making this up. A sommelier for water. I feel like this is a super first world problem. Charles Payne’s next. Our partners that help bring you the program, that’s our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that exists.

SPEAKER 16 :
You know, I was told, and welcome back, everybody. Channel 347 is where you can stream the program. You can listen to across the country. I was told that we were going to be the poor house eating sand and we were all going to be broke and we were going to be owned totally by China and that we were going to be taxed and tariffed to death. And it hasn’t happened. You know, because I don’t think people are watching. Well, I mean, everybody watches my next guest. But some of the people who write these headlines are not watching my next guest. And he brings the pain every day, which I literally would get that on my tombstone if that was my last name when I died. Charles Payne, host of Making Money with Charles Payne, weekdays 2 to 3 Eastern on Fox Business. And he brings the pain every day. My friend, it is so good to see you set these fools straight because everybody has been telling us, oh, my gosh, everybody’s going to be broke. You’re going to have to sell everything. The stock market’s going to crash. I’ve been hearing this every day. Not happening. Not happening.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, you know, well, what you get these days is yet, dot, dot, dot, yet. Dot, dot, dot, yet. You know, and it’s a hopeful feeling amongst those doom and gloomers that please let it happen next time. It was going to happen in March. It was going to happen in April. It was going to happen in May. Golly, they’re running out of time. You know, Dana, listen, here’s the bottom line. From day one, I said, If you look at the history of tariffs, not just Smoot-Hawley, but all the tariffs that have been around for the past 150 years, If there was any argument, it could have been a slower economy, not runaway inflation. We started the year with the CPI, which is the main gauge for inflation, at 3. Now it’s 2.3. We get a new number tomorrow. There’s a chance it could go up slightly. And then, of course, the same folks will come out and say, we told you so. It’s not anywhere near the issue it was when President Biden was in office and he flooded the zone with all that cash. That was a different kind of beast. We went to 40-year high on inflation. And what we’ve been able to see is a few things, you know. uh how dynamic our economy is america is a huge vast economy with uh brilliant people and brilliant companies and and it knows how to adjust you know i’m making an example today on my show the best performing stock is a company that faces consumers it’s called casey’s you know the gas stations and they make fresh pizzas and sandwiches the stock is a juggernaut it’s been a juggernaut for several years why people like it so it’s a friendly place to go the the pizzas they make are fresh the sandwiches are fresh the worst performing stock today is smuckers why because they make stuff with chemicals in it that people are rejecting guess what smucker stock has been in a toilet for years casey stock has been a rocket ship for years all of this terrorist stuff is just excuses for companies that can’t get their act together the financial media will take it imagine Macy’s had a bad number. The tariffs are killing it. Macy’s has had a bad number for 20 years. I mean, so that’s a great point.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s disheartening. You know, it’s disheartening. That is such a great point, because that’s one of the things that I and especially with some of these where you look back and you’re like, well, they haven’t been performing so great the past several years. So how is this the fault of tariffs? Right. were just barely implemented. I mean, Trump’s not even been in office, what, barely five months? I mean, come on. I mean, and that makes sense. So they’re blaming that move for their incompetency.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly, exactly. So let me tell you what’s happened. Wall Street lost their minds. Everyone downgraded the market. In the last four days, five major firms have now upgraded their targets on the market. Now they see the light. The market’s going to go higher. Oh, by the way, earnings estimates, they estimate how much the 500 companies in the S&P will make. The day of the reciprocal tariffs, Wall Street thought they’d make $269 combined in earnings. that number collapsed i think it went to 230 240 something crazy like they’ll never make to your point they’ll never make another nickel well right now it’s 270. the numbers above the tariff announcement number probably will continue to go higher so You know, the hysteria part of this is what blows me away, because a lot of it I don’t think was authentic. I think you have a lot of people who benefit greatly from the way the system is right now. There are people who make a lot of money, who are multi-billionaires, who live very lovely, the way government wastes money, the waste, fraud, and abuse in government. the middlemen, these large corporations that are essentially middlemen, to take money from Americans and give it to China, they live very comfortably, they have access to the media, and they’re able to tell a story, in this particular case, scared the hell out of people.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I mean, that makes so much sense. We’re talking with our friend Charles Payne. He hosts the Making Money with Charles Payne, the show. I almost called it Bringing the Payne because I just decided to rename your show for some reason this hour. Two to three Eastern on Fox Business. Talk to us a little bit about the BBB, the Big Beautiful Bill, because I’ve had my concerns with not all the tax cuts being made permanent, which is a thing. I just feel like that would be such a shot in the arm to consumers. I also understand the theater of the reconciliation and how there’s certain parameters that people have to go by. Give everybody the scary truth. Wall Street opens the day after this thing fails. What are we looking at?
SPEAKER 04 :
The market is definitely banking on something going through. Now, again, Wall Street doesn’t care about some of the things that you care about. The greater the largesse, the better. One thing everyone has to keep in mind, Main Street and Wall Street’s agenda is Sometimes they’re together, right? A strong economy is good for everyone. But as long as money is flooding the zone, because it always ends up in the coffers of Wall Street, and those dividend checks always go to the wealthiest people in America. So the bigger, sloppier it is, that’s what they want. So if nothing goes through, Wall Street will be frustrated. If something goes through that’s pro-growth, lower taxes, Wall Street is going to be thrilled with that. So this is really more about Main Street, really, about is this the last chance? to take a bite at this apple and to live up to campaign promises. And, of course, as we see, when the sausage making gets started, and some of these folks who are so principled that they’d rather see the desires of the vast majority of the country go up in flames rather than, you know, heaven forbid they read Ayn Rand somewhere in ninth grade and that they go against that, you know?
SPEAKER 1 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 16 :
Some people never went past that. Talk about our friend Charles Payne. You talked about government survey. You did a really good segment. And this was like, what, the other day, like two or three days ago, that was specifically on surveys and job numbers. And we had added, I think it was 139,000 jobs in May, which, again, this is one of the things where we’re told, you know, unemployment is going to increase. I mean, again, it’s like we’re told all of these scary things, I think, too. get a certain outcome that we wouldn’t be able to – that you couldn’t get organically because if things work right and you allow plans to take place, you’re going to get a certain conclusion. But I feel like the doom and gloom and the headlines of this, they’re trying everything that they can to artificially – You know, push things in a different direction. Talk to us a little bit about this, because you said that these things, the way that the government does this is just is messed up. These surveys are broken and that it’s kind of wild that our federal government is relying on the information or using the information that it’s using.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s so antiquated. The methodology is so antiquated. It’s so awful. And, you know, one of the things we see it really prominently, for instance, is in the jobs report. There are surveys. There are two surveys, one called the establishment, which they send out the businesses, the other one called the household, which they send the households. and over the last few years businesses have just stopped filling these things out or filling them out on a timely basis so by the time the numbers do you may have 35 40 that have filled it out so then your numbers x let’s say your number is 10 for what and then later on they’ll get the rest of the survey or more and then 10 goes to a 3 or may go to an 18. but the problem is and dana what bothers me is that The revisions never seem to matter, particularly to the Federal Reserve or any policymakers, right? The first headline numbers, what we kind of go with, that’s the narrative. And so we’re actually basing policy on these numbers that aren’t reflective. And what was nuts in this AI age, in this age of instant numbers, we know tomorrow morning, we’ll know how many people took a plane today. We’ll know how many people went to a movie theater. We’ll know everything, right? I mean, we have this sort of This instant, what they call high-frequency stuff. We know this instantaneously. And there’s got to be a way for officials to say, hey, let’s use this data. We know how many people bought a house yesterday. We know how many people inquired about rents. I mean, we have this information. The idea that we’re working off an antiquated system blows my mind. Now, here’s the interesting thing, because Trump is now in office and the numbers keep coming in better and better than the experts say. Now they’re acknowledging that the numbers are bad, but they’re blaming Trump layoffs.
SPEAKER 1 :
So.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 04 :
You know what? At least they’re admitting the numbers are bad.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, finally. I mean, at least after telling us, you know, when Biden was in office, everything was great. You don’t have to worry about no eggs. It’s all in your head. It’s on your head. I want to ask you, too, my friend, Jay Powell, is he going to lower the rate? I know this is a question that we kind of talk about every single time we talk. But I mean, I it’s that I mean, is he going to move? Finally, it seems like things are in place.
SPEAKER 04 :
He definitely is getting the cover. The cover he had not to do it is fading away. And I’ll tell you what it is, right? This sort of notion that parts of the economy, inflation are too high. And of course, the jobs picture is too low. Yesterday, we heard from the New York Fed. They do this survey on consumers, right? And what they anticipate. And we saw a major decline in anticipation of inflation. This is something that Jay Powell worries about every time. He talks about this every single time. Essentially, if people think that prices are going higher, then they’re more willing to pay those prices. Right. That’s a psychological thing. If everyone keeps saying inflation, inflation, inflation, you walk into the store and you see the prices up. Well, you say, yeah, I heard about this inflation and you fork over the cash. But if you don’t think prices are going up, you walk into the store and say, wait a minute, there’s something’s wrong here. They’re fleecing me. and so now inflation expectations are beginning to come down and again the only reason they were to the levels they were is because what you and i talked about never before in the history uh but we’ve never seen this in history where so many people said they’re concerned this is the clear four months ago about a policy about being harmed by a policy at one point there was more fear about trump’s trade that the so-called terror for which by the way we’ve been in this is the first time we’ve bought back right Trump’s tariff war than it was about 9-11, than it was about COVID, than it was about the great financial crisis. There was more anxiety and fear about this than it was about that, even though imports are a small portion of our economy, and there was just no way it was ever going to be that impactful.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m telling you what, everybody needs to be listening to Charles Payne every day because he will literally make you money. Making money with Charles Payne. Weekdays, 2 to 3 Eastern on Fox Business. My friend, I always appreciate you joining us, setting these narratives straight and just talking sense. God bless you. Thanks a lot. Love being on with you. Of course. We’ll talk again soon, my friend. Have a great day.
SPEAKER 05 :
OK.
SPEAKER 16 :
Our partners that help bring you the program, the folks over at Burn a Gum. This is exactly what I’m talking about. You know, when you are and we do have this like actual situation in my town right now. In our town square, you have a lot of families and you’ve got miners that go there and they like to shop and hang out with their friends. I always think about stuff like this. In some of those stores that are there, they’re gun-free zones. They put the signage out there. This is the thing that bothers me. What if you have to run into one of these stores and get something and then make it back to your car? You could actually get cited by violating the statutes that they have posted on the door, but you don’t want to be defenseless. This is where the burner gun comes in. OK, the burner gun I’m always going to carry and I have no problem using lethal force. But I also want creative solutions around some of these prohibitions. And the burner gun is great for this. I’m just saying. First off, a regular stun gun. You got one or two rounds at most. Burner guns got five. This thing this thing shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. It doesn’t care about gun free zone signs. There’s no background check. There’s no permit. It’s legal in all 50 states. They can send it right to your door. It’s accessible for everybody. And it makes it to where you don’t have to be made defenseless by private property restrictions, municipal restrictions, or anything else. Two versions that I want to direct you to, the SD, the most popular model, the CL, which stands for compact launcher. It’s 38% smaller compared to the SD version. These are the ones you need to check out. They have different, they have other kinds and they have different projectiles and accessories. But for this specific purpose of defense, those are the two I would suggest. The SD and the CL, which is brand new. Visit Burna.com slash Dana. Check out the new Burna CL. B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 10 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 02 :
Because his mother had died, my father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother. And so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country.
SPEAKER 16 :
So that’s not entirely true. So this is a Minnesota state representative who’s trying to bait the right. She was brought over illegally by her parents when she was a kid. But unlike a lot of the people that are complaining about being, quote unquote, undocumented, she at least became a naturalized citizen. And she’s really misrepresenting her story there. She did that on the floor of the Minnesota House yesterday. And there were a lot of people upset about it, understandably. But she became a naturalized citizen. And I just don’t understand why she thinks that other people who come into the country legally… Can’t do the same thing or why people who want to come into the country, why they shouldn’t come in in a legal fashion the way that every other country they would enter any other country. So that was kind of interesting. It was she and she purposefully omitted that so she could try to. enrage people while she’s on the floor. She did it on purpose. That was all on purpose. And that’s what this is all about. You know, I was watching some of the footage yesterday in California with the with the protests. And I said there was some stuff in Dallas that they were trying to do also, which they’re not going to allow that stuff in Dallas. They already had tear gas that stuff went on for like an hour and a half. And then they started blocking the road, which is actually a crime in Texas under our state statute. You can’t. I mean, that’s a crime. You can go to jail for that. You can be jailed for a period of time. In addition to having a significant fine, you’re not allowed to block roadways or passageways, sidewalks or anything like that in the name of protest or anything. You’re not allowed to impede traffic. That’s a criminal offense. And so I was watching because in Austin they were blocking roads and in Dallas they were blocking roads near Trinity Park. But Dallas PD, to their credit, went out and dispersed them. And they they kind of they they let them do their thing for a bit. And then like, OK, that’s it. You’ve had your fun. Now get out. And they they were used force. They used force. They took they took down people who were resisting or who were trying to assault cops. And they remedied the situation. And I was remarking to a friend, I think, you know. In Texas, in Dallas specifically, I think it changed after the BLM riots that saw cops getting assassinated on live television. And this was one, is this in Austin or was this one in Dallas last night? This is Dallas last night, yeah. So they were trying to that’s a ramp, one of the exit ramps, and they were trying to block traffic and police that only went on for like a little bit and then police. But then when they would clear them from one roadway, they would like go they’d go to another. They’d pop up at another and try to block another road. Police were not having it. But I think that the standard operating procedure and I’m speculating here because I’ve noticed a difference in enforcement. I think it changed after the BLM stuff. And remember that that was downtown. I was supposed to be at that building that night because that’s where Fox’s Dallas Bureau is. And that’s where they had all those cops get shot. And I mean, I, they, I ended up getting bumped. I was on my friend Megan show when she was still on Fox and I got bumped for a Senator. And we were talking about some kind of piece of legislation. I was like, that’s fine. Grill the Senator. Cause this is like, I can’t even remember what it was about, but it was a guy who proposed something. And long story short, all of this stuff was happening. And it was live. And we watched a cop get shot and killed like right on live television. And I think she could tell immediately because I ordered hot wings. I stayed home and order hot wings. And everybody realized, oh, my gosh, what did we just see? And she was like, OK, let’s, you know, go back to studio and we’ll get things, you know. And then it came out that, yeah, we all saw what we just saw after that. They didn’t play around anymore. The last several times that they’ve had protests in Dallas where they’ve tried to do this kind of stuff, people try to block roads and that, they immediately take them in. They don’t wait with it. I think Austin, they kind of dragged it out a little bit because there were some taxpayer-owned buildings that ended up getting defaced and damaged last night in the name of, quote-unquote, protesting, even though it was really a soft riot. We all know this. We’re going to talk more about this as well because… The I think that Gavin Newsom, first off, he’s really trying to use this as a publicity stunt. He needs something, a vehicle by which he can be propelled to the front of the pack and look like the de facto leader of a leaderless Democrat Party because they are leaderless right now. he’s trying to take that role so badly but it’s very difficult because you have your far left he’s trying to as you know he’s cosplayed as a moderate for a while it’s just not working out uh and so he went back to the far left well uh with all of this stuff with immigration and these riots we’re going to talk about this we’re also going to get into some domestic stuff as well so we have a whole other hour on the way a lot of good stuff and we’re Why is the guy who tried to break into Mar-a-Lago and kidnapped Donald Trump Jr.’ ‘s daughter walking around my town square? We’re going to talk about this coming up. Stick with us. Gold and silver, I mean, they really are. They stand the test of time. Gold actually is going to test about 4,000 an ounce.

SPEAKER 13 :
And even those who were out of step with what we are advocating, peaceful protest, did not create any violence. Nobody was shot. Nobody was killed. Get it in your head. And so when martial law is called, what are you going to say? I missed the point. Don’t miss the point, you all. Don’t think that somehow because they called out the National Guard, there was violence. There was no violence. Oh, my gosh. Are you on the street? Are you? I know. And I went from downtown. This is a corpse puppet. Back out into the community, talking to people. What happened in Paramount? What happened in Compton? What happened in Inglewood? There was nothing happening at all, guys.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, there were just people out there offering each other free lemonades and. Oh my gosh, there was a hugging and there was a high-fiving and there was a back-patting and there weren’t no fires, there were no looting, nothing like that until, oh my lord, Trump sends out the national guard, I do declare. She’s crazy. We all know it. That’s Maxine Waters, who is one of the craziest people. I cannot believe people are like, yeah, that’s a good choice and vote for her. Like, what is their brain damage? Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour. Stream it. If you’re not listening to one of our many affiliates from across the nation, you can also stream it. channel 347 direct tv it’s on uh x as well the chats at rumble this is so insane i mean people were smashing up cars they were burning waymos i had a little funny little post up because i didn’t realize that the steering wheel of the waymo they look like little they don’t it wasn’t on purpose it just looks like if you see faces and everything it looks like a smiley face and this made me all the more i need to watch terminator clearly because these little cars getting burnt was making me so sad i’m like what did these they show up and they don’t even know what’s happening Why am I being burned? You know, they don’t know. And it’s just like, I thought I was just going to give you a ride. And then they set them on fire and they’re like, ow, it hurts. Do they?
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t know. They don’t feel.
SPEAKER 16 :
Do they? I don’t know. But I just want everybody to remember when Skynet comes and tries to murk us all, you can blame these rap bastards in L.A. for starting it with the Waymo, the great Waymo fires of 2025. It’s going to be instead of for the Alamo, it’s going to be for the Waymos. And you’re going to have a bunch of these, you know, bipedal terminators coming and jumping across farm fields to murk us. So it’s going to happen. Market.
SPEAKER 11 :
There’s no violence, though. There’s no violence going on. There’s no violence.
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s just some little violent rock throwing. I mean, who doesn’t nonviolently throw a chunk of concrete at a cop? I mean, you know, from a bridge hoping that it, you know, causes a multi-car wreck on a very busy intersection.
SPEAKER 11 :
First Amendment right.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. First Amendment rights. Oh, my gosh. Please, please expand the First Amendment to include that, because I will be a menace. Oh, my gosh. A menace. I will be just an actual human tornado of pain. Oh, I mean, I have to hold myself back. Mike, there’s it’s a good thing. There’s laws and a God. man alive otherwise it’d be like the beast of nurgle and we’re all in a 40k hellscape all right so i know sorry that was a reach but um you know i’m pretty sure that there was there was all of this stuff happening you know before beforehand audio somebody 22 listen to this cnn’s like oh no we can’t have any of that truth about these riots here oh no gotta cut them off listen to this brad what are you thinking
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, we got to this moment because California has a sanctuary policy. The state law forbids local law enforcement from cooperating with or local government from cooperating with immigration enforcement. We have immigration laws that govern the entire land, and California is willfully ignoring them. California’s left-wing politicians set this up. If California had long been cooperating and helping enforce immigration laws all along the way, this would not be happening.
SPEAKER 21 :
It’s not the whole state. You do know that some of this is jurisdictions. There are certain towns that do.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s a state law.
SPEAKER 21 :
But there are certain towns that absolutely have cooperated with federal authorities. Shouldn’t they all? You know, this is part of the issue that is always interesting here is when Republicans want to talk about states’ rights, it’s about states’ rights when it is something that they’re interested in and not when it is something that perhaps Democrats and their states are interested in.
SPEAKER 09 :
Is she trying to make a point? We’ve all agreed on what immigration laws are. There’s not a state right on federal immigration.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’ve got to shut down the conversation because it’s very inconvenient for us. Yeah, it’s like Ross with the couch on the stairs. Pivot! Pivot! Oh, my gosh. That was really bad for them. They’re really trying hard. I mean, you know, Audio Soundbite 21, listen to MSNBC here. No, these people are our neighbors. Listen.
SPEAKER 07 :
The big picture is Los Angeles is a so-called majority minority city and a majority minority state. There are more people of color that live in Los Angeles than white people at this point. And many of those people are undocumented. By some counts, 10% of the population of L.A. County, one of the largest counties, the largest county by population in the United States, is undocumented. Maybe as many as a million people. Those people are our neighbors. our co-workers who are here illegally our classmates and uh our friends our parishioners fellow parishioners and churches um they are part of the fabric of the city so can i go up to this guy knock his glasses off his head and it’s okay because hey i’m your neighbor
SPEAKER 16 :
Right. And that how that works. Can I bust up into his house and take his stuff, lay on his sofa, eat his food, you know, drink his protein drinks. Wait a minute. He doesn’t get protein. Let’s be real. And it’s OK because I’m your neighbor. Right. Won’t you be my neighbor? Isn’t that how that works? I mean, if hey, if you’re their neighbor, you can do whatever the heck you want. Right. That’s such a stupid. So I hear all this and I’m like, so what? If you’re not here legally, that is a crime. It has always been a crime. It’s not something that just happened to become a crime. It didn’t just become a crime with Trump. It didn’t just become a crime in the last 10 years. Tis always been a crime, Sir Dorkenstein. Always been a crime. It’s always been a crime. You can’t come in illegally, just like I can’t bust into this gentleman’s house and take over his kitchen, you know, make fun of his appliances or something. I don’t know. I can’t do any of that. I can’t bust into his house and, you know, appropriate his property. Well, I guess I can if I’m a neighbor. Isn’t that how it works? This is like, what in the world? And then you’ve got this. Audio Somebody 23, Adam Schiff for Brains, who I was very careful. He’s well, who do you think the who do you think is responsible for the burning and the looting and the destruction? But my Trump. Listen, this is 23. Sorry.
SPEAKER 20 :
What we are seeing here in Los Angeles is Donald Trump doing what he does best, which is so chaos and create disorder with little guard for the people who live here. The president doesn’t care about making it worse. He’s more than happy to see violent protests. It gives him something to talk about, something other than his big, ugly bill that’s going to blow a hole in the deficit, take away people’s health care. So for him, this is a wonderful distraction.
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t know why they’re mad about the bill. They wrote most of it. I don’t know why they’re so upset. Yeah, exactly. That you know, that was I don’t get it. This they act like Trump went there and himself and has been doing this. Like he’s the one who’s been putting the pallets of bricks and drop in concrete chunks. I mean, this is so stupid. I mean, we all know this. I don’t think that they’re convincing anybody. I really don’t think that they’re convincing people of this. It’s not going to work. You can’t sit here and tell people that it was all positive and peaceful and then Trump made it not so.
SPEAKER 11 :
I saw this morning on CNN that you would think that on the issue of immigration, I mean, look at all this negative news the media is putting out about it, that cut 29, CNN had their latest poll on how Americans feel about the job Trump’s doing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, let’s talk about this because the way Democrats talk about it, Americans are so mad at the Trumps. Oh, yeah. Listen.
SPEAKER 03 :
Immigrant citizens, immigrant voters, foreign-born voters have gone tremendously to the right on this issue in 2024 and 2025 versus where they were in 2020. Closest to or trust more in immigration. You go back to 2020. Democrats, get this, held a 32-point lead on this issue. Immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp. Jump forward to 2024, 2025. Look at that shift, a 40-point shift to the right among immigrant voters. Republicans now lead on this issue by eight points over Democrats, more so than any other group that I could find. The group of voters who became more hawkish on immigration were, in fact, immigrants themselves, immigrants who are registered to vote in this country.
SPEAKER 16 :
But Democrats are like, wait, you have brown skin, so you must like these policies. And you have white skin, so you must like these policies. I mean, it’s so racist. Nobody, I don’t care if they’re brown or purple or white or whatever. Nobody wants this nonsense in the streets. And nobody want this. What do they think that they’re doing? What do they think that this is? It’s just goofy. I want to switch it up here a little bit. I got to tell you about something that’s happening in my town square. You guys remember the dude who, and this was, let me get the date on this. This was in May when it happened. So very end of May, there was a guy who was arrested for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago, right? 23-year-old Anthony Reyes. He told police that he wanted to spread the gospel to Trump and marry Kai, his 18-year-old granddaughter. Secret Service found him on the property and said that he had jumped over the wall to get there. He was not permitted to enter, etc. He had been previously arrested and accused of trespassing on the property on New Year’s Eve. Apparently, I think they got a PO against him. And he’s here in my town. In my town square. He’s been arrested twice in my town square. Last night, a very good friend of ours has a daughter and the daughter and the daughter’s friend. They were in. So our square is like an open air mall. Right. And it’s super safe. You’ve got the town hall that’s right there. You’ve got the post office. You have like the Apple store, the Tesla building, which I’m going to get to in a minute. A Starbucks. You know, you really don’t have. A lot of stuff. In recent years, there was a little bit of increase in stuff because of the border. And you had, and this is a picture Juan showing you one. I’ve got two documents on him. This was his most recent, this guy’s most recent arrest for assault. He got charged with assault. And the picture on the right is one that the friend of my good friend’s teenage daughter took yesterday evening. They were trying to get a picture of him because they wanted to tell police. He was so aggressive that they ran away from him and ran into a Starbucks. To get away from him. He was saying, you must be my bank loan because my interest is out of control or something like that. And then he I’ve been hearing from parents all over this town because I said something in our Facebook group and parents have been saying, oh, my gosh, they’re all realizing this is who their daughters have been telling them about. I can’t tell. I can’t count on both hands how many different sets of parents. have reached out to me publicly and privately sharing stories about how this guy has been harassing their teenage daughters, young minor girls under the age of 18. Some of them are 14. And what they do is sometimes the parents, like say mom and dad will have a dinner. And this happens all the time. I have boys, so I don’t have girls. But it’s not so much a big thing with the boys. It’s the girls. The girls want to go and shop because they have those little boutiques. And it’s a good, fun thing for teenage girls to do. My gosh, right? Like, I don’t believe in Tupperware kids, you know, keeping your kids, you know, restricted. And the square used to be, you never worried about it, right? They could walk all over the square. There’s different, so many different stores, a Lululemon forum and all that stuff. Anyway, I’ve been hearing from all these parents, you know, they go to dinner, the girls walk around during dinner and they maybe get their own food and then they leave with their parents at the end of the night. One of a parent told me that just a couple of weeks ago they had a run in with this guy. They were on their way to take something back in a Sephora. And this guy said, if you have three minutes, I’ll take you to heaven is how he propositioned her. And she was 14 and they ran into the Sephora. I mean, and he’s out there walking around. He’s been arrested twice for trespassing in Amaralago and he’s been arrested twice here. Now, the teenage girls yesterday evening called police and they were our police department. Southlake Police is aware of this guy. And they said, was he in dark clothing? And, you know, they were aware of him. Here’s my thing. This is Texas and this is the most conservative, largest urban conservative county in the United States. There’s two bad things that are going to happen if law and order didn’t prevail here. Something bad is going to happen to a teenage girl or this dude is going to get shot because he’s going to mess around and some daddy is going to see him and he’s going to take care of him. And then I’m going to have to defend that dad. This is how you get vigilantism. This guy has been running around and all these moms and dads online are now realizing, oh, my gosh. And they’ve all been taking pictures of him, too. They told their kids, take a photo. And apparently the police, they’re well aware of him. So I’m trying to find out his legal status. I want to double check and make sure. But always, always, always make sure you’re talking to your kids. And if your kids see anything like this, because now there’s concern, is he in human trafficking? What is he in? I’m going to update you about this story because I don’t want this guy in my town. And the folks over at Super Beats with Super Bering. Their latest product, invest in your metabolism and blood sugar support for less than a dollar a day when you buy Super Boreen at Sam’s Club. You know Super Beats, which helps to provide healthy blood pressure support. I’ve used it. You’re going to like Super Boreen. It’s from the same brand that you can trust, doctor-formulated, plant-based, and doctor-formulated. with a unique form of berberine and Italian olive fruit extracts. You’re getting additional antioxidant and cardiovascular support. And you can’t just like walk out and buy any old berberine. I mean, you can, but you’re not going to get the same results. The unique berberine and superberine is clinically studied to deliver nearly 10 times higher absorption. Thank you so much for having me. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five. So Saudi Arabia is looking to rule eSports. They’re changing quite a bit over there. There’s a very interesting piece over at the LA Times. They have the eSports World Cup quickly approaching. And a lot of people, a lot of money, a $70 million prize pool. Kane, I think we need to switch gears here. Dude, I mean, granted, there’s only certain types of games I’m actually good at, which is why I casually play. I’m not one of those people who’s great at everything that they play, right? But they said that they have huge gamification. That’s the central ethos of their gaming and esports strategy. They’re trying to position Saudi Arabia as a global hub. It’s smart, man. It’s really smart. It is a very smart move, I got to say. There is another Chinese scientist who has now been charged with trying to smuggle in illegal biological material. This person is the third one. Now, to be to be charged, a 33 year old and a 34 year old were caught last year. This individual, they were trying to do the same thing, bringing spores in. This is really dangerous. Stick with us. Jared Ogden joins us next. Angel Studios is putting out a lot of really good content. I don’t know if you’ve seen their newest animated feature.

SPEAKER 14 :
Do you agree with the president? Do you believe that there shouldn’t be an arrest made of the governor?
SPEAKER 08 :
If people get in the way of a lawful activity of law enforcement officers, if they impede immigration officers from doing their job, they should be arrested. If the governor wants to stand in that line, it ought to be him as well.
SPEAKER 16 :
Got it. Ooh, there you go right there. That’s somebody with Customs and Border Patrol saying, yeah, if they’re going to get in the middle of all this and they’re going to be doing all this, then yeah, they need to be arrested as well. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of the second hour. Listen coast to coast on an affiliate near you. Channel 347 is the stream direct TV X rumble. Let me set this up real quick before we bring on an expert, our next guest. This is what Gavin Newsom tweeted out. Yesterday. He’s so mad because you have National Guard there and then POTUS is sending the Marines in to specifically guard federal buildings. They’re not like walking through the streets going after people. I get pretty libertarian about certain enforcement and then I get pretty Viking about other enforcement. Yeah, you’re messing with some federal buildings. Yeah, I feel like you should be, you know, like Vlad Dracul. Let’s go to town anyway. He says, you sent your troops here without fuel, food, water, or a place to sleep. Here they are, being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, real Donald Trump, it’s you. Juan, show the good people the tweets that he affixed, or the photos that he affixed to this tweet. This is it. And they’re waiting because they’re obviously in a staging area. Yes. They’re not a bunch of dumped puppies, okay? Why is he talking about them this way? Let’s bring on our guest. Jared Ogden is a retired Navy SEAL, CEO of Triumph Systems, and he is an official badass, and he joins us now via video. Jared, I just… Give the good people the realistic view of this, because this obviously it’s a staging area. No, they’re not like a bunch of discarded, you know, puppies. These are I mean, they’re just chilling and relaxing and wait until they get their next orders there. Why does he assume this? Why break this down for us? What is your take on this?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, my perspective is anyone who has served in the military, and I don’t care, you know, Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, whatever, National Guard, everybody knows this phrase, hurry up and wait, okay? So they are obviously staging just like you said, and this is by design. You want to have more people than you think is what’s needed because you would rather have and not need. The mission could scale. It could flex. It could extend. And you want to have those resources in place to be able to react to the unknown. That is just military planning 101. Hurry up and wait. Everybody who has served knows this to be a truth.
SPEAKER 16 :
And this I don’t know what he thought that this area, this staging area was going to be like. I mean, Jared, you know, you’re you probably slept on mattresses from the Ritz. Right. And you had like pillows from the Westin. And I’m sure that, you know, they had a turndown service during your time in the military. Right. I mean, apparently that’s what Gavin Newsom expects. That’s what he thinks.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, maybe that’s his perspective, but the simple truth is when I look through these pictures, I see soldiers, I see Marines, I see guardsmen in climate-controlled conditions. I see that they have their three-day packs filled up with food, with water. I see hand sanitation. They have time to sleep. I mean, these conditions are, they are not bad, let me tell you. They’re not bad at all.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it feels like it could be. I mean, you’ve been in some pretty interesting places. I just I mean, I think I didn’t you fight like a bear or something at one point? I don’t know. I wouldn’t be shocked if you did. I mean, I just know that you swam in like glacial lakes and you. Well, here’s a picture of Jared. Look, Jared’s not in a climate controlled area. They’re just going to point that out. He doesn’t have time to sleep either.
SPEAKER 06 :
And the other thing is, in that picture, we actually had IEDs, okay, improvised explosive devices. The Marines and the Guardsmen that are deployed in LA, their version of the IED is an inconvenient expresso delay, okay? I mean, it’s just, it’s comedy. It’s political theater at its best. That’s what we’re seeing.
SPEAKER 16 :
And I mean, I feel like when we’re talking to Jared Ogden, he’s the CEO of Triumph Systems. You can find him on X, Jared W. Ogden as well. Retired Navy SEAL. I, you know, I clearly I mean, Gavin Newsom has no idea. I don’t even know if he knows anybody who’s talking about the way that he’s talking about soldiers. But isn’t it true that they wouldn’t be needed if he actually enforced the law in his state?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s a sad state of affair. And the thing about it is people are getting sucked into this argument, but they’re inconsistent. So a lot of the people’s response to how the executive branch handles these types of situations, it’s just inconsistent. January 6, the president did not deploy troops quickly enough. Now he is. And so the same people that were crying on January 6th, they’re crying now. And here’s the deal. You can’t have it both ways. Let’s be consistent about how these executive powers are when they’re executed.
SPEAKER 16 :
And the authority under Gavin Newsom, because I remember, as I’m sure you did too, Jared, when people were in California during lockdown, I remember the story of this guy who was paddleboarding, and they had the guard out on the beach. And I’m sure the National Guardsmen were like, oh, my gosh, I can’t believe we have to actually enforce this. But they had to go and bring people in that were on the beach outside in the sunshine and the warm weather during lockdown. So they had no problem with using – you know, guardsmen or police or anything like that to enforce lockdown orders and keep people in their houses for months on end. But this, when we’re talking about protecting federal buildings like courthouses and all of that, that’s a step too far.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, this is my problem with it at any level of government, whether it’s local, state or federal, is you’ve got to be principle based. It cannot be the political persuasion or the flavor of the day. We have to make decisions and we have to be consistent based on what’s lawful and then and then also just principles. Principles should dictate this stuff.
SPEAKER 16 :
If the governor and the mayor, the mayor, Karen Bass, they’ve been telling us literally up until yesterday that everything was peaceful and the fires that we were seeing being started and the chunks of concrete being thrown at police from overhead passes, which that’s attempted murder in my opinion, that none of that stuff was happening. And I just think that – The reason that they have to bring out that the president has to send out soldiers, guardsmen are probably in over their heads. They’re way too busy with everything that’s happening because it’s happening all over the state, not just in Los Angeles. But also, I mean, they have a responsibility, right, to protect our federal government, federal properties, which is all apparently that they’re doing. They’re not leaving federal properties. From what I understand, they’re trying to make sure that what happened in Portland with the courthouses and stuff up there isn’t happening in Los Angeles and Anaheim.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s political theater. And the mainstream media is just as guilty as any of these politicians. They’re picking and choosing. They’re cherry picking what they want to show us. And they’re creating a narrative that they want for us to believe. But I don’t believe it for a second that none of these things were happening prior to the troops coming in and ensuring that law and order. is preserved, ensuring that the federal buildings and property are not being destroyed.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. I mean, when I was looking at this, I think it’s their Title 10 authority under the California National Guard and the federalization of that. They the argument was that it was necessary because Newsom did not act to protect not just the facilities, but also federal personnel. So, you know, obviously the people that are working, you know, the judges and other federal workers that are there that have been targeted. I mean, you know, if he was so concerned about it, maybe he could enforce the law or he could just send some waters or he could, you know, maybe tell people to calm down and not target federal buildings. He hasn’t done any of that, though, to my knowledge, Jared, unless you saw something.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, I don’t think that he’s acting in a manner to actually solve any problems. And that’s the sad thing about what’s going on right now.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it is incredibly sad. Jared Ogden, you can find him on X, Jared W. Ogden with Triumph Systems. We appreciate your service and your perspective on this. I just thought it was so ridiculous when I saw him complaining about this because there were photos of them in the U.S. Capitol, as you mentioned, January 6th, of guardsmen who were literally doing the exact same thing in the Capitol on the one-year observance of January 6th, and nobody complained anything about that. So you’re right. It’s a complete double standard. Jared Ogden, always a pleasure. I’d love to have you back. Stay well, my friend. Good to see you. Thank you. I’m going to send this image to Juan because there’s several of them, but I don’t remember seeing This is it says guardsmen were later let back into facilities after an outcry from lawmakers. The it’s a political piece. This is some national guardsmen sleep on the ground of a parking garage. Remember the parking garage that they used as their staging area near the U.S. Capitol. And they were later let back into facilities. And so Gavin Newsom, they all weren’t. I mean, remember, Cain. the one year after J6 and then the State of the Union after that, do you remember the show, the theater where they had all of the people around the Capitol? They had all the guardsmen around the Capitol building. Then they had those crazy fences and oh my gosh. And they just like stood there and we were even going, well, why are they just kind of standing there like this? Like what are, I mean, clearly nothing’s happening. It just, I don’t know. The fact that I, and his tweet is still up by the way. And it was Nancy Pelosi that shoved him into the parking garage, by the way. She was the one who put them into the parking garage and took them out of their climate-controlled area, shoved them in the parking garage. And then there were people who were like, why are you doing this? That seems kind of silly. And it’s a little abusive. It was almost like she did it out of spite. Like, OK, I have to have them here.
SPEAKER 11 :
So it seemed like it was so planned that they were looking to do it in a timing sort of way where it’s like, all right, we’re going to let this foment for a while before we allow this National Guard to move in. Yeah, it was all planned in my opinion.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, completely all planned. Oh, completely. Just unbelievable stuff. We have Florida man on the way. Oh, I just saw apparently Waymo via Vegas. Larry is moving their cars out of L.A. They had five cars set on fire in one afternoon. And one of the people who listens to the show, who sent an email as an engineer, he was saying that, do you realize, and then he gave me the chemical breakdown of all the stuff in a lithium battery, which it was like, we have the smartest listeners and viewers out there. I had a little mini science lesson, and I would read the email, but I don’t, admittedly, don’t even understand half of what he’s talking about. God love him. He was like, well, there’s this lithium battery, and it puts this percentage of noxious, noxious material into the atmosphere and it takes this long for it to dissipate. And he was saying guaranteed that anyone within like an X, whatever radius of this had exposure to these toxins. And if you multiply that by however many cars were presence, I mean, he like really got in the mat. So basically, which, and here’s why I say that really quickly. So basically these people got gas themselves, but also I’m wondering, and I’m just speculating after reading his email, was it, Maybe that they didn’t want to just destroy property. Were they trying to use those as like a toxic bomb or weapon of sorts? Think about that. Think about like all of the noxious materials that are released. And if you’re exposed to that, I’m just saying that I had a new perspective on that yesterday evening.
SPEAKER 11 :
Getting in my tinfoil.
SPEAKER 16 :
I can’t help it. He was telling me math and science.
SPEAKER 05 :
And I’m like, hmm.

SPEAKER 10 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 16 :
The dog fighting thing makes me so sad. I can’t even deal with it. This headline’s going to be a little hard. I’ll make it up to you, though. A Florida man was arrested after a drug bust uncovered a dog fighting operation, and he also had a nine-foot alligator, because why the hell not? Florida. This… I’m really hardcore on this stuff, so I may not be your cup of tea. I just feel like if you’re running a dogfighting operation, feel like I want to make you take part in a felon fighting operation and then sell tickets to that. Just saying. A Florida man was arrested in Jacksonville. Apparently, they uncovered animal neglect, a dogfighting ring, and a nine-foot gator. Can I just say… I’m like, kill him now. I told you guys, if you’re mean to women and babies and kids and old people and animals… Get you off the earth. A one-way ticket to hell. I’m just saying that’s the suspect, 49-year-old Markey Williams. He faces multiple charges. So apparently he was already a felon and he was already in illegal possession of a number of weapons. But these dogs, he also had raccoons and turtles. They were injured, malnourished. They had no access to water. They were in horrible condition. They were neglected. He was making them fight and kill each other. Yeah, I want this guy dead. That’s me. My punishment for him would be like, I’m going to take you right out back and firing squad. That’s it. We’re going to make a mess for the medic and interesting for the morgue. That’s what we’re doing. Actually, we’re not going to have a medic. It’s just going to be fun times for the morgue. That’s I told you guys, it may not be your cup of tea, but he’s got a lot of felony charges. So he’s in custody at Duval County Jail. They just strengthen the law on that as well. I got to tell you, the people who do this stuff to animals, they especially like dogs. Y’all, I’m not this is not propaganda. These people have a history. I did this. I read this whole white paper on this. Actually, a number of things. And I watch this documentary and all that. It’s sad. It’s like they typically are really abusive to kids, too. And they’re nuts. They’re just they’re evil. Let’s see here. A man sues the state over tax funds for Confederate monuments. I don’t know. This is again in Jacksonville. What’s happening here? It’s a case that might have national implications on Confederate monuments. It’s underway. It goes back to 2021. A guy sued the state of Florida. He felt taxpayers should not be forced to fund Confederate monuments on city property. And he said that naming them after Confederate figures violates his civil rights. I think that’s dumb. Now, I don’t think if your city does not have the funds to do it, I don’t think they should do it. And I also think this is where private donations and all that come into play. But the naming thing, violating his rights. Sit down and be quiet. He’s violating my rights because we all have to deal with this stupidity. We have to coexist with him on this rock. And so my rights are violated, Kane. I don’t know about yours. Mine. I feel so like my rights violated. Let’s see this. OK, this Florida man was he was arrested because he stabbed a shark that stole his fish. i can’t get too mad at the guy uh 26 year old zane garrett they said he’s animal cruelty he stabbed a shark’s head multiple times yes he should not have done that but he said it stole his fish he goes bud broke my rod and it stole his fish and so he stabbed the thing he didn’t actually get his fish back and he got in trouble with florida fish and wildlife third hour on the way some dumb gop stuff coming up stick with us Hey, folks. So I want to share something important that every American should be aware of. We’re seeing a lot of economic uncertainty right now.

SPEAKER 18 :
I mean, even if these protests were 100 times the size that they are, there still wouldn’t be an operational reason to bring in active duty troops or federalized National Guard. I mean, it’s just it’s not it’s not that sort of thing.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s Rachel Maddow, who’s on MSNBC. And she’s talking to who’s that guy’s name? He looks like a skinnier, older, more annoying Conan O’Brien. Conan O’Brien’s not annoying. This guy looks annoying. Yeah, Lawrence O’Donnell, who always thinks that he’s in a Shakespearean play for his delivery. We should do one day the whole show like he does. I’ve never actually watched his show. I’ve only seen clips. And every single clip, he is so dramatic, ladies and gentlemen. Cis and trans, whatever. He’s like so ridiculous. Welcome back. Dina Lash with you. Top of this third hour. So wait, she’s like, well, even if the protests are 100 times that size, they don’t need to bring in the National Guard. I mean, what’s a couple chunks of concrete off the overpass onto some cops’ heads? You know, what’s with that? Okay, so they burned down some Waymos. You know, beep boop. Okay, so they’re looting some footlockers, you know, for the people. Wait, what? Oh, they’re looting some other things, too. Yeah, it’s not Kane.
SPEAKER 11 :
Plus the LAPD chief saying they’re overextended, that this is an issue that they need assistance with. I mean, OK, whatever, dude. Rachel Maddow, whatever, dude.
SPEAKER 16 :
Let’s just assume her gender. Why are you so mean, Kane?
SPEAKER 11 :
My bad. Call everybody, dude.
SPEAKER 16 :
You do. So I’m not quite sure what their grift is here. How much do you guys want to bet? If somebody burned down something in their yard, they would be calling the police in like seconds, right? We all agree. Okay, so why do you need to call the police? Why? Why do you need to be doing that? It doesn’t make any sense. These are the same people that were freaking out over J6. Which, look, I don’t like vandalism, but nobody was dropping chunks of concrete on cops’ heads. In fact, the only person killed was somebody that a Capitol Police officer just like all willy-nilly fired into a crowd without knowing what the hell was behind him. Sidebar, I’m actually shocked. There are photos and video that show a whole SWAT team behind those people that were at the door. And I can’t believe that one of them didn’t get shot by the Capitol Police, that cop. There was the first cop shooting that the left loved. They were like, yes, a cop shot and killed someone. They were so excited about it. I’m not being mean and I’m not. I’m not. That’s not hyperbolic. That’s true. And you guys know it. So I don’t know. The one of the things that Kane noted, too, is that. So remember how I was telling you how how Newsom had the National Guard and they were running people off the beach during lockdown? You guys remember the story of the paddleboarder who literally tried to paddleboard away and there was a video of it. He used the National Guard for COVID-19 testing. They had no problem using the heavy hand of government to make you stay in your home and shut down your kids’ schools and shut down your businesses and chase people in parks and on beaches. Let me tell you another story. A friend of mine who lives here now – actually, okay, it’s Matthew Marston. We were at dinner with him, and his wife was telling me – and this was right after they moved to Texas – And I was like, well, when did you realize that enough was enough? And they’re like, oh, we had been building up to this for a while. But they have like eight kids. Right. And they were everybody was supposed to stay in their house. And in California, especially in certain parts of California. And I have a lot of friends who attested to this. Like if you were out walking around like with your family, heaven forbid, you had more than two kids. You were you were you were stopped. And you were asked what you were doing. Are those the people that you’re quarantining with? So she took her kids, his wife took their kids to a park. Sometimes some of these neighborhoods have parks in the neighborhood, right? It’s something that the neighborhood pays for. So they took the kids to the park. And they literally were stopped. by law enforcement they’d only she’d only been there and he was he was working um and she uh took the kids to the park and she was stopped by law enforcement and told that they had to leave because she had too many people in her group she was like these are literally all my children i gave birth to all of them we all live together in the same house it’s like nope sorry you i couldn’t remember there literally was a limit on how many people you could actually in your group that you could be out in public with they made her leave the park and go back to her house And she told us this at dinner. And my jaw was, I know it was on the table. And I’m thinking maybe she misheard them. She was like, no, no, no. And then they said that if I didn’t leave, they were going to cite me and I could be taken into custody. And I’m like, oh my gosh, she had an infant. She was wearing a baby for crying out loud. Like a rat baby. She was wearing a baby. Like what? Mind-blowing. So they have no problem using the heavy-handed government in California for that kind of stuff. But oh my gosh, if people are setting fire to businesses and assaulting people and punching cops and throwing concrete at cops and disrupting traffic and punching cars. There was a video last night of a woman who was trying to get home and she had two children in her backseat. And we can’t I didn’t say because we can’t play it because it literally it would have to be silent. Everything was F everything. And she was like begging them. She was being nice at first, begging them to let to be allowed her to pass. And they were like, you know, and she was because this is important to the left. She was a Hispanic woman. Trying to get through. And they were not allowing it. And she ended up having to abandon her car. It was crazy. I mean, she took her kids, but had to leave her because they weren’t going to let her car pass. Unreal. This is the kind. How does that help anybody? This is not a protest that’s designed to change minds. They don’t care if your mind’s changed. This is a demonstration to make you afraid. So not every protest is designed to actually win people and persuade them. Sometimes it’s a fear tactic. They want to make you afraid. They want you to think that this could come, you know, here. That’s why they’re doing. What is it? The it’s the 14th. Is that what it is? That what is that called? The no king things?
SPEAKER 11 :
No kings.
SPEAKER 16 :
And you have the nepo baby Walmart heiress who paid for that ad to advertise it in the New York Times. Imagine having your entire life provided for you by people who worked harder than you. And then you turn around and defecate all over it with stuff like this. How’s that for you? So that’s that’s all. It’s all a fear tactic. They’re trying to make people afraid while they simultaneously are using it as an agitation tool to get more people interested in their party. It’s never just one thing. There’s always something underneath. Always. Always something underneath. And with Gavin Newsom, he is trying so hard right now to leverage this as a publicity stunt. He loves the publicity. He is trying so hard to leverage this so it will propel him to So he’ll be perceived as the party leader, because if I were to ask you who’s running the Democrat Party, you couldn’t answer, could you? Who’s running the Democrat Party? You have no clue. Nobody. Nobody knows. He’s trying so hard to take that, at least in the court of public opinion, so he can be set up for 28. And you’re seeing what’s happening in California. It’s just disastrous. Absolutely disastrous. He was saying, he said one thing, let me pull this up. He said one thing yesterday. I made mention of this on X. He was criticized by an Alabama lawmaker. This Alabama lawmaker was saying, oh, you know, he’s the governor of like lawlessness and disorder and all this stuff and that. And He was telling him that, I’m trying to pull this up and decided to be stupid. Basically, he was trying to say that, oh goodness, Alabama’s crime rate is like so much higher than that of California’s, et cetera, et cetera. And so you really don’t have any place to talk. And it’s really interesting that he brought that up, Gavin Newsom did, because this is something that he is going to try to whitewash. He is gonna try so hard to whitewash this as we get closer and closer to an eventual presidential election. And he was the real reason he keeps saying that he is responsible for decreasing California’s crime rate, which is not accurate, by the way. It’s not accurate. They’ve changed a lot of things for the worse over there. And one of them is the way that they handle crime. And so the issue of how they report crime is really messed up. They actually stopped reporting. They literally just stopped reporting things to the FBI. I’m not even joking. There’s a couple of stories about this. And I linked a lot of this on X yesterday because. The when you don’t report your crime data to the FBI and when you reclassify and they passed a proposition to do this, they reclassified a number of felonies as misdemeanors. And then they literally enacted policy to limit types of enforcement. And as a result of that there, it made it it gave it the appearance of a decreased crime rate. And California actually is really bad about reporting crime. Really, really bad. In fact, I think that in 2022, 31 percent of the 18000 law enforcement agencies across the United States failed to report crime data to the FBI’s database. And California, particularly Los Angeles County, is exceptionally egregious on this. They’re really egregious. Now, I’ve been talking about this for a number of years because this dovetails in with a talking point that gun control advocates use. They try to when they try to argue about crime rates and. reporting and defensive gun usages. So a lot of the people who have been adjudicated mentally unfit, that’s supposed to be something that is reported to the National Crime Information Center, the NCIC. And that’s what, when you’re doing a background check and running that 4473, it collects, it checks with that repository of information. And there’s like a number of different categories of which adjudication for mental unfitness is one of the mental ineligibility. And a lot of California is, California and I think it was Illinois, they’re two of like the top states that failed to report At all or even fully in Los Angeles County, they don’t report all of this. And so it’s not just specifically even about like violent crimes. There’s a number of things that they just don’t report to, you know, that if you’re going to demand that you have this and say that it’s going to. be useful in decreasing crime or quote unquote mass shootings, then why would you not use it? They don’t want to use it because they don’t really want it. They want to ban on all defensive purposes. But my point is that this is just like a trend. They don’t report this stuff. If you don’t report the crime, then you can argue that you reduced it. This is what they did in Parkland. Robert Runcie, superintendent of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School District. They stopped literally they they stopped reporting crime to police. And he got an award from Arnie Duncan that was about him reducing the school to prison pipeline, the numbers in the school to prison pipeline. And in fact, when they had the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Commission in the wake of the shooting at the school, they discovered that crime actually had increased. He just wasn’t reporting it. And that Sheriff Scott Israel, that disgraced meat sack, he knew it too. They were in cahoots about it. But this is what California does. So Gavin Newsom was trying to go at all these red state governors and act like, no, no, no, I’m actually the authority here. My opinion counts more on how to handle the riots in the state because, oh, look, I decreased crime. Well, he didn’t. He literally did not report it. What was it, Prop 47 or 49 that they passed that literally reclassified a number of felonies as misdemeanors. And there are times when, you know, police are so overextended in all the major cities in that state that they can’t even follow up on stuff. So a lot of people just stop reporting certain things, including assaults and that they just don’t report it anymore because nothing ever happens. So that’s what happens with his leadership. I had to set that record straight because, man, he was waxing some BS last night. It was unreal. Summer is all about making great memories. Backyard barbecues, road trips, lake days, even just relaxing in a hammock with a good book. Spending time with friends and family, catching sunset views.

SPEAKER 11 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, so first up. This a judge has dismissed this. I can’t stand the stupid story. You have two egotistical fecal birds that are fighting over. You have you have Blake Lively, who apparently is a nightmare, a living sentient nightmare. And Justin Baldoni, who’s a brat, and he filed a defamation suit against Blake Lively. I don’t know. It got kicked out. Uh, now apparently they’re filing to reinstate it. I don’t know. It’s just, I don’t care what happens to these two entitled bratty people, right? I mean, I, I do think that she’s a handful and I think that he’s kind of a beta. So I don’t know. Is that mean? Cause I don’t care. Uh, people. Oh, OK. These people can go die in an AIDS fire. Those born between 1970 and 1985 are apparently ditching Gen X and millennial titles for Generation Goonie. No, no, sir. There are no some of those in the 80s and the mid 80s are a little. No, no, we are. I think. We’re baby Gen X. It’s not Gen Goonie.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 16 :
No. Step all the way off the plank. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. No. Who’s trying to make this happen?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 16 :
Deport them. I don’t care if they were born here. Don’t care. Let’s see. Oh, look at this. Two people were rescued from a San Francisco cliff after they dropped their phones. Gosh, dang it. You’re robbing Darwin again. Let’s see. Tourists were caught on a cliffside. I don’t know. Maybe when you don’t hang over a cliff at a place called Dead Man’s Point with your little cell phone trying to take your little photos. Nobody cares. You’re 100 followers on Instagram. Don’t care. They drop their phones, and then they try to go down to get them, and they got stuck. So the San Francisco Fire Department, Cliff Rescue Unit, and Heavy Rescue 1 had to save them. And everyone’s like, please be aware of the multitude of posted signage all around the place called Dead Man’s Point. Okay, just be aware. We have a lot more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this third hour. Don’t go anywhere because we’ll know and we’ll find you.

SPEAKER 16 :
I’m not going to play it, but I may write a whole piece about it. Tulsi Gabbard had a video out where she had tweeted. She goes, I recently visited Hiroshima and I stood at the epicenter of a city scarred by the horror of a single nuclear bomb, blah, blah, blah. I know that she’s talking. Eventually she gets to the point of talking about not allowing Iran to be having nuclear capacity. But she spent minutes in this video. completely lamenting over what the Japanese went through. In World War II. Oh, my goodness. And the haunting sadness and oh, how it stays with them. I’m sorry, but that’s absolute BS. Let’s talk about the number of Americans who lost their lives fighting in the Pacific. My grandfather was on the USS Alabama fighting in the Pacific. And this kind of sentiment is an absolute offensive middle finger to those veterans who sacrificed part of the greatest generation to fight in that theater. atrocities that were committed by Imperial Japan, not only against its own people, but everybody else around them, the POW camps, everything else. And she completely misses the point of what would have happened had we not dropped a bomb. They were not going to submit. I love this emotional, absolute, you know, romanticizing of history. I am not a Tulsi Gabbard fan. I think she’s a charlatan. She’s a gun control candidate. She’s advocated for gun control. She was real vague about her change. She refused to answer questions. She avoids me like the plague. No, I don’t trust her, and I think that people buy into it because she’s a woman. That being said, completely glossing over the fact, our country printed over 500,000 Purple Hearts in case we had to implement Operation Downfall. Operation Downfall was the planned invasion of Japan in which we were going to have anywhere from 700,000 to 2 million additional American casualties. I’m a huge World War II buff. Huge World War II buff. And the fact that you can even, anybody can even do a video like this and be like, oh, it’s so sad, Hiroshima. It is, it really sucks out loud that they chose that. And I get it that this is the thing with like, you know, people in like the younger part of Gen X and downward that we try to, we try to romanticize what Japan did in World War II. Look, they’re great allies now. But let’s not mistake what happened and what happened before we got to this point. Let’s not mistake any of that. My grandfather fought cancer for the rest of his life, cancer that he got because he was in a fallout radius of one of the bombs. Let’s not gloss over the horror that our soldiers endured and what they were going to endure if we had to go through with an invasion of Japan with Operation Downfall. It sounds like she needs to read a couple of history books about this. We literally had printed up over a half a million Purple Hearts because that’s what we were anticipating. Thank God that it didn’t get to that point. This is where reality meets pavement. You can’t sit here and be squishy and romanticize this stuff. geopolitical maneuvers are not for the faint of heart. It is about numbers and logic. Emotion is left at the door. What results in the smallest number of casualties? What results in the least amount of resources used? And that answer at that time was the A-bomb. We live in an imperfect world where we have imperfect people that make imperfect choices. And we have to do the best we can with the hand that we are dealt. And that is what we did. People go, well, how can you cost lives to save lives? Well, let’s weigh out the casualties from the bomb with the casualties of invading Japan with very fanatical residents. Some people need to be more aware of history. and not insult the legacy of our veterans by romanticizing what happened in this theater during that time. And that’s the only civility I have on my tongue to say about it. Now, let me get to a couple of other things here. Can we ask why Josh Hawley is proposing to raise the national federal minimum wage? Because he tweeted about that earlier today. And that is a new plan that he is promoting. He wants to actually raise the minimum wage. According to multiple, well, according to his own Twitter timeline, I’ve tweeted about it if you want to go and look, he’s proposing an increase, because I think it’s what? He wants to raise it, what, it’s the Higher Wages for American Workers Act. It would raise the federal standards starting in 2026, And then it’s not it doesn’t end there. He wants to further increase it after that. He. says that we’re in the midst, well, he’s talking about affordability and inflation, et cetera. He says, for decades, working Americans have seen their wages flatline. And one major culprit of this is the failure of the federal minimum wage to keep up with the economic reality, blah, blah, blah. Bipartisan legislation would ensure that workers across America benefit from higher wages. Well, you don’t do that in an environment where you refuse to cut spending. You refuse to cut regulation. You refuse to cut government bloat. You refuse to cut overhead. This is unbelievable. This is not a conservative position. This is not a conservative proposal. It is not a conservative bill. This is Marxist nonsense. And it’s a disappointment that it comes from a senator that hails from my home state. I’m telling you, we call balls and strikes on this program and there are no sacred cows because these people work for us. So I was I’m not shocked because he’s promoted something like this before. He retweeted the CBS News article about himself where he gave CBS this interview. This is I mean, like I said, it is a progressive nightmare. Why are we doing this right now? Why are we doing this at all? Why is a Republican promoting it? I mean, this is… It’s not a concern. Why should there be a single minimum wage law for every aspect, every part of the country going from Los Angeles to, you know, Tupelo, Mississippi? Why? It doesn’t make any sense at all whatsoever. If you’re trying to remedy what you think is unfair competition or practices… Then if you are not accompanying it with any kind of stiffer with any kind of enforcement at any of that, if this is like something about it, it doesn’t make any sense. I don’t know why we have Republicans that are flirting with this big government Democrat nonsense. Why stop at $15 an hour? If you really want to solve the problem, you’ll give them $10,000 an hour. I mean, it’s an arbitrary number. The market sets the wage. And you’re also, imagine, you know, wages as a ladder. You’re sawing off the first several rungs of the ladder to individuals who are trying to get a foot, trying to get an entry-level position so that they can start working and accumulating wealth. You are penalizing these people for an optic. There’s another thing that makes me mad. Like how in the hell is this being considered as a legitimate proposal? I don’t get it. And we got this on top of it, a proposal coming out of the White House where they’re wanting to pay $1,000 for babies. A mega baby account, $1,000 contribution placed in an index fund tied to the stock market managed by the child’s legal guardians given to citizens born after December 31st, 2024 and before January 1st, 2029. Do I really want to do this? Audio sound bite four. Go ahead. Let’s just let’s do this. Oh, my God.
SPEAKER 01 :
Here’s how the accounts work for every U.S. citizen born after December 31st, 2024, before January 1st, 2029. The federal government will make a one time contribution of one thousand dollars. into a tax-deferred account that will track the overall stock market. In other words, it’ll be pegged to an index that we’ll pick. Right, Michael? We’ll pick a good one. Maybe you should be the index. I’d like to have that. These kids would be very wealthy if that were the case. That would be a good idea. I think we might do that, Michael Dell. These accounts will be private property controlled by the child’s guardians, and in many cases, those guardians will be the parents. We think probably the parents will be the guardians. They’ll be open for additional private contributions each year from family, friends, parents, employers, churches, private foundations, and more.
SPEAKER 16 :
Why does the government have to do this? Why is this the government’s job? Where’s the money coming from? I mean, are we not taxed to absolute flipping death already? Where’s this money coming from? Why is the government doing this? Why can’t individuals do it for themselves and their own families? Why is the Republican Party becoming obsessed with Bush era policies? We were in the streets for this in 2008. This is some too big to fail B.S., So we got Josh Hawley wanting to raise the damn federal wage, minimum wage. We have other Republicans wanting to expand government health care. We got other Republicans out there who are talking about paying people to have babies because apparently they’re ignorant to the fact that welfare in this country has been a failure. And now we have this. I don’t have to agree with everything that somebody promotes. I am very nervous about these Bush-level spending proposals, Bush-era spending proposals that are being repackaged and represented by today’s GOP. Because one of the reasons that we are in this position where it concerns deficit and spending is because of those big government, old Republican, Bush-level type proposals. This is, no, I did not vote for that. I voted for lower taxes. I voted for secure borders. I voted for fair trade policies. I did not vote to give everybody $1,000. They had a baby. And for the government to set up something that people should set up themselves. What is happening? This is uniparty stuff. This is uniparty stuff. Raising the debt ceiling, I mean, for crying out loud. I’m not happy with any of this, y’all. Not happy with it. A lot of the states already, and Lorraine noted this, I mean, most states individually by themselves, a lot of them already increased minimum wage. This is not an enumerated power under the authority of the federal government. It is not.
SPEAKER 11 :
Also, we’ve seen real wage growth, thanks to the lowering of inflation, actually turn a positive number since Trump has been in office. So now we actually have wage growth we can look at right now. So, yeah, I don’t know what Holly’s doing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I don’t either. I don’t either. I do not either. I’m just to me. I feel like this is, they’re gonna flirt with these policies that people have lived through and recognized and they’re not gonna like it. And then we’re gonna jeopardize midterms and then it’s gonna be even worse. It’s going to be even worse. My gosh. We got members of members of government lionizing, you know, Japanese at the I mean, trying to kind of retcon history a little bit here as it concerns World War Two in the Pacific. We got Josh Hawley talking about raising the federal minimum wage, just completely disregarding the enumerated authority of the government, enumerated powers and the state’s authority under the 10th Amendment. I mean, what’s happening? I mean, Republicans used to act like Republican. Well, for a little bit, they did. This is why I am a conservative, because Republicans are too progressive for me. They’re too progressive for me. And I’m not about to pretend for clicks that any of this nonsense is in any way constitutional, conservative or is going to help safeguard your what you work for and your family.

SPEAKER 16 :
Welcome back to the program. So a couple of other things. So that Greta Thunberg chick, the 22 year old. So they apparently so they she’s back in Paris now. And she told the assembled press, quote, They tried to make us watch all kinds of propaganda videos, but I didn’t watch. This is nothing compared to what is happening in Gaza, which is a desperate need of humanitarian aid. So she’s referencing they were making them sit and watch the footage that Hamas itself took of the October 7th attacks. And they were refusing. She said it was propaganda. She actually called it propaganda. She’s a moron. I mean, this is it’s embarrassing that anyone is desperate enough to use her as some sort of, you know, press seeking puppet. They just have her because she gets pressed because she’s so ridiculous. Gaza, which isn’t why is Gaza in need of humanitarian aid? Why doesn’t Hamas’s leader who lives in Qatar give some of his riches to Gaza? You know, his wife carries around like a Bergen, which retails for like seventy thousand dollars. Why doesn’t he help out with aid? You know, who’s been giving aid is Israel. Like two tons of it just recently that they sent in to Gaza. And then they had to be careful about how it was distributed because Hamas was taking all of it when the Red Cross did it and they were trying to resell it on the black market.
SPEAKER 11 :
While shooting their citizens.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, while shooting their citizens. Thank you for that reminder. So Hamas creates a situation and then she thinks that Hamas is the good guy. She and these other losers that were on this stupid party yacht that they had where they were eating the aid themselves that they were supposed to be giving to their little bit. They had no plan on how they were going to do it. They had no plan. They literally thought they were going to get on a boat and just sail right up. Today in stupidity, Cain, as though that’s not enough.
SPEAKER 11 :
I know, that was pretty stupid. But there’s more stupid. Thank you, Democrats. Cut 10, Representative Jayapal. She says these illegals who have been burning cars and assaulting people should be free. They should be let free. Cut 10.
SPEAKER 19 :
We are here to say free the immigrants that have been arrested. Free the immigrants that have been arrested. We are here to say end the ice raids. End the ice raids.
SPEAKER 11 :
Ice cream for everyone.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I mean, that’s… Ice cream for everyone. Maybe just don’t know. Gosh, how stupid. Maybe just don’t follow the law. That’s all I’m saying.
