SPEAKER 13 :
Su misión no es cambiar a Trump, su misión es buscar la mejor negociación posible para los millones de colombianos.
SPEAKER 18 :
Before you think that maybe you hit the DABA accident and you went over to a Spanish speaking station. Well, I speak Spanish fluently, but no, that is a brazen comment that unless you speak Spanish you won’t understand. That is the president of Colombia saying that, check this out. If President Trump will not change, the solution is to get rid of Trump. Oh. What do you mean by that, muchacho, huh? What are we talking about? Hey, welcome to the Dana Show. Dusting off the equipment around here is the Dana Show Southern Command. Appreciate the call from the gang over at HQ. From the home of Starbase, Texas, the studio of KURV Radio and the RGV, this is the Dana Show. I’m Sergio Sanchez in for my friend Dana. Man. I know why this guy’s so upset. He’s got drug boats being blown out of the water by the U.S. military. Which, I mean, I look at the video of some of these boats being blown out of the water. And, by the way, let me just say. I do hope that as there was some commentary a few days back on maybe sending in some more spooks, more CIA behind the lines in not only Colombia, Venezuela, you know, I just hope that the Trump administration and our competent folks in our naval forces and the Air Force and anybody else participating, maybe the Space Force, maybe looking at this by satellite. Boys, I sure hope that you crossed all the T’s, dotted all the I’s, and you know beyond any doubt whatsoever that those boats, those speedboats are carrying a bunch of bundles of cocaine and whatever other illicit drugs are out there. And they’re blowing up to smithereens. I hope it’s not just, you know, a video opportunity or publicity opportunity. Let’s make sure we get this right. This is one thing we don’t want it to boomerang on us. Man, you talk about, you guys remember, if you’re a kid from the 80s like I am, I’m from the late 80s, early 90s. If you guys remember the war on drugs, you know, just say no to the war on drugs. That was, you know, just, you know, it was a euphemism. Oh, we never really are going to take the U.S. military. Well, we now are. We got the U.S. military. going after drug boats and blowing them out of the water. My goodness. You know, the war on drugs that I knew of and still know of and mercifully just read about, publications like Breitbart and Poncho Ortiz, one of the great reporters, and all the folks from Mexico that are feeding information on what’s happening in the real drug war, fiery drug war just south of the border. From here in deep south Texas, we’re, thank you, Jesus, we’re north of the Rio Grande River. We’re safe. This is the land of 911. We’ve got DPS and Border Patrol all over the place and a great place to grow a family. We’re safe because we’re in the USA, USA. But south of us, man, they’re killing each other. Guns and grenades and landmines. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. You know, I haven’t been, we used to, my wife and I used to visit the town immediately south of where the studio here, the KURV studio is. Our studio is now in Mission, Texas. Our towers are in Edinburgh next door. And, of course, McAllen is the McAllen area. South of us is Reynosa. And that’s where I was a kid. I grew up. And the… The war south of us is still real. It’s unfortunate. You’ve got a lot of good people down there, but Mexico’s a narco state. And I’m thinking if the Trump administration is lobbing bombs and missiles at drug boats off the Colombian coast, off the Venezuelan coast, and has already, those cartels I made mention of just south of the border, some of those cartels have been deemed terrorist organizations. Look, I’m not surprised why they have been real quiet when it comes to engaging Border Patrol. If you did not know this one, we have Border Patrol here on the Rio Grande River. Every now and then, they used to get a shot, a rifle shot, gunshot from across the border. These cartels wanting them to disperse, to move out of the way. They’ve been real quiet of late. They’ve been killing themselves, unfortunately killing citizens in Mexico. But it’s only going to take like one incident for it to get real. As real as it is for Colombian drug boats… or any other drug boats coming in from Central America or from South America, as real as it is, man, it’s going to take one wrong step, tripwire, to get the American military to either buy a drone or buy a missile or buy, I don’t know. send some bombs into Mexico and take some cartels out. I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that. That’d get real nasty real quick. But anyway, I can declare at this moment, as much as the Trump administration has been able to declare peace in the Middle East, at least the temporary cessation of violence, and they’re trying to… pin that down as quickly as possible. Yeah, it’s been real quiet when it comes to any engagements from Mexico shooting at Border Patrol of late. Our folks are still getting hurt, especially ICE, Immigration Customs Enforcement, getting hurt by Americans. individuals who have American citizenship and don’t realize how grateful they should be. They’re in Chicago and Portland and other major cities attacking ICE agents, immigration customs enforcement agents, as they’re trying to do their job, trying to clean up the Biden border immigration mess. Latest on the government shutdown. Yeah, another vote going down in flames. So we got some road markers on the way. And by the way, I had a chance to speak with our senior senator of Texas, John Cornyn, about this. Got a status report. Because as the Democrats and the media that carry the water for them continue to spread all this propaganda, Republicans are not working and not coming to the table to… It’s just… The irony, the hypocrisy, you name it. Shut down Schumer, as I’ve been calling him for years. Shut down Schumer. His same advocacy for continuing to spend at the same government levels under Joe Biden. I wish they would play more of those cuts, more often. Even for the channels. that are friendly to conservatism and liberty-minded ideas. Thank God we’ve got plenty of them out there. We need to play more of those kinds. Shut down Schumer not too many months back. Advocating for it. Just continue to spend. We don’t want anything else. We want a clean CR, as he used to say. A clean CR for Republicans. Well, this one is. And embarrassingly, this continuing spending… The formula that we’re in is from the Biden administration. We’re just kind of waiting for the Democrats to get off their butts. But there’s more at play here. There’s more at play. It is the political future or the guillotine that waits them from the radical leftists that are controlling the modern incarnation of the Democrat Party. Speaker Mike Johnson commented on this. It’s cut one, Steve, if you want to play Mike Johnson real quick.
SPEAKER 15 :
non-partisan CR, they’re going to get hammered. Another insider said in that same story, quote, we would have enough votes to reopen the government if people were not terrified of getting the guillotine, okay? They mean it metaphorically, but in a political sense, that’s exactly what they’re concerned about. Think about the fact that we’re just laying out here. These are simple facts. We come out here every morning and remind the American people of what’s going on. Do not let them distract you from the facts.
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s not the guillotine from the voters. Because sadly, the reason that we have these kings, for example, shut down Schumer, Chuck from New York, and Nancy, and so many other leftists, and all these politicians that have been in Washington for, you know, if a generation to you is 40 years, which that’s the way I define it, they’ve been there for longer than some of y’all have been alive. They are the kings. and the guillotine for them would be those who are in control of their party the radical leftist bloodthirsty leftist. Much like that little cut at the beginning from Columbia, the president of Columbia was very upset with, you know, Gustavo Petro was very upset with President Donald Trump. This leftist minded that if you do not accept, forget negotiate, if you do not accept our way of thinking, our demands, you come to the table, you bend the knee to what we say, you know, forget the fact that we demanded many months back that we continue to spend at the president government level. No, you now need to bend the knee to On our demands that you continue the government spending for subsidies for Obamacare. For everyone. For everybody. Including illegals. Anybody. Everybody. The way it was before, just bring it all back. Despite the fact that we were the ones who censored all these measures in Obamacare. You know, the Democrats did. The guillotine is winning for them a lot of AOC times. The squad times. Especially in New York. Let’s focus on New York real quick. So many rumors on… AOC, yeah, maybe running for president or running for vice president next go-around. And every time I see these little rhymes or these comments online, I’m going, oh, dear Jesus, please make it so. That would be optimum. That would be the best solution, the best option for the next go-around would be, let’s say, The lefties choose Kamala Harris again, and they put AOC as vice president. That’s one option. The other is for AOC to go after Chuck. Go after Shutdown Schumer in New York and replace him there. They are so afraid. These so-called leaders, Democrat Party senior leaders, the ones who have been there like kings for more than a generation, they fear the new wave. They fear the Mamdani types that wait to take power in New York. There’s… There’s concern that maybe these radicals, these leftists, are willing to commit political suicide to the point to take the country with them. So one of the options would be the nuclear option, as they say in the Senate. They need 60 votes to move measures across the goal line. No longer do we have the option we haven’t had for centuries now, the option to go 51 votes on all measures. No, it’s got to be 60 measures to kill the so-called filibuster. Well, out there somewhere, you got Chip-Chip, hooray, Chip Roy from Texas, commenting that we should consider using the nuclear option. Forget the whole 60 votes to move legislation forward. Hey, this legislation, the CR, it’s like a budget item, right? Just move it forward. Just like we need 51 votes to move. It’s like reconciliation. Just we need 51 votes. Just move it forward. It’s a CR. It’s like a budget item. Just move it forward. They’re seriously considering that. I also asked about that option from Texas Senator John Cornyn. That conversation with the senator coming up later in the show, so please stick around. Got lots of news to review, lots of other topics, including coming up in just a little bit, I’ll share with you some of the demolition that’s taking place on the grounds at the White House. If you have not seen pictures of this, I thought it was mind-blowing. What? That’s the White House. I know it’s the East Wing. But that’s the White House. Look, it’s being all torn up. It’s pretty impressive. So what’s going on there? I’ll share that with you and also how that’s being funded. You’re in tune with The Dana Show. I’m Sergio Sanchez broadcasting today from her Southern Command office in the RGV of Texas.

SPEAKER 03 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 18 :
From South Texas, I’m Sergio Sanchez in for my friend Dana Lash. So here we go, we got some top five. Man, talk about… Excuse me for my French. Pissing away your pardon. An individual pardoned by President Trump for being involved in J6… has been taken into custody for threatening to assassinate Obama-lite, or Teemu Obama, the Democrat leader, Hakeem Jeffries. Criminal complaint against this 34-year-old guy, Chris Moynihan. This guy was sending text message to some associate that threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries while he was speaking at an event in New York City. He said, let’s see, even if I am hated, he must be eliminated. I will kill him for the future. Oh my goodness. This is taking place up in New York. Let’s see. A new report showing that millions of Americans canceled their Disney Plus and Hulu subscriptions. following ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel from air right after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And this guy lied. Yes, Jimmy Kimmel lied about the political affiliations of the shooter. So there’s this independent subscription research firm that said that 3 million people ended their Disney Plus subscription and 4.1 ended Hulu. Those numbers were about twice the average of how many people off board for a subscription like this. The news copy says, Disney faced backlash for the decision to temporarily suspend Kimmel after he made comments related to the killing of Kimmel. No, he didn’t. The correct copy would say after he lied, Jimmy Kimmel lied about the political affiliation of the shooter, of the alleged killer. Excuse me, I have to say alleged killer. Let’s see what else is in the news. Oh, check this out. If you can, if you don’t have city lights around you, this is the only way you can see it. So folks across the country will be able to see a rare green comet streaking across the sky this week. NASA saying that the Comet Lemon, I hope it’s not named after, you know, that lemon guy from Sina. Comet Lemon will make its closest approach to Earth like today, tonight, tomorrow morning. You’ll be able to see it tomorrow night, tomorrow evening. I think it’s in the evening we can see it. Let me check the paragraph real quick. 55 million miles from Earth… And that would be, I think, about half the distance to the sun, because I think it’s like 100 million miles from here to the sun. So you will be able to see the green comet shortly after sunset toward the western sky. It’s better if you’re able to get away from city lights, like far from a range country. So I think in the desert southwest, it’d be beautiful to see.
SPEAKER 12 :

SPEAKER 04 :
Israeli hostages are released and the war stops in Gaza, but the people who screamed about ending genocide are suddenly silent. Biden administration figures call the Middle East deal bittersweet because they think they deserve the credit.

SPEAKER 05 :
Think about the interviews that we were seeing of black people in DC and Memphis and Chicago talking about the crime crackdown. They weren’t talking about monarchy. They were talking about safety in their streets. You know, that was important to them. You compare that to the interviews of the people on Saturday. Largely white, older, soft academic bodies who can afford to march for conceptual fears that don’t exist. Not real fears like mugging or carjacking or looting of their small businesses. They, however, God, they’re so lucky.
SPEAKER 18 :
Here, here. Yeah, Greg Gutfeld. Yeah, solid. Conceptual fears versus, I don’t know, maybe getting shot or shot at. Or in the case of folks that are working that courthouse out in Portland that President Trump, by the way, got the green light from an appeals court to go ahead and use soldiers if necessary to enforce the law, as stated how he can use that. Having laser pointers pointed right at the eyes of federal officials trying to protect a courthouse. being physically assaulted left and right. Hey, welcome to Hour 2 of The Dana Show. I’m Sergio Sanchez in for my friend Dana from the home of Starbase, Texas. We’re in deep South Texas here at the studios of KURV. Appreciate you joining us today. Coming up just a little bit, I got a tale of two expenditures. One from the private sector, one from the public sector in a time when you know as republicans as conservatives as liberty-minded individuals as taxpayers who should demand a smaller government that is responsible with what our tax dollars and the tax dollars that our kids are going to have to you know fork over because everything is deficit spending right now everything’s being borrowed so they’re gonna have to pay the interest all that yeah at a time when we should be more austere and our spending. Yeah, a couple of examples of perhaps where we should go. I got a conversation with Texas Senior Senator John Cornyn just around the corner, so you stick around. The government shutdown is a topic. Yes, there’s nothing behind the scenes right now. Well, that’s what he’s saying. And what is plan B to pay? Oh, well, I don’t know, like the military, right? I don’t want our soldiers going out without pay. They were able to improvise something at the White House. But we need something for our military to be paid. They barely get paid to begin with. And some of them have spouses. They have kids on the military salary. It is embarrassing to be in this situation. I think that point likely should be driven a bit more by the Republicans, the GOP, that our military will not be paid. We’ve got some markers down the street. And, of course, the nuclear option, which is something I want to talk about. No, not lobbing a bunch of nuclear bombs. You know, that idea didn’t even cross my head. I just want to clarify for you guys working for a living. The nuclear option is that 60 votes that are necessary in the Senate to move legislation forward. We can’t move forward because we don’t have five additional Democrats joining the Republicans to just keep the government open under the previous spending formula. So John Cornyn, his thoughts on the nuclear option. And that’s in the news because we have a Central Texas congressman, Chip Roy, who’s in the news today. He’s, you know, he’s mulling it. He’s considerate. Maybe, you know, we should look into this nuclear option, remove that barrier. We have 53 Republicans or, you know, Rhino, some of them. We have 53 GOP in the U.S. Senate. We just need 50 to pass something right now. Or, you know, if we could just do the 50 plus 1 option, 50 vote option, 50 plus 1 option, which in essence would be 50 right now. Because the Democrats can’t add up to 50. So all we need is 50 to move stuff forward. So… Chip Roy says this is a spending measure. When it comes to reconciliation, when it comes to budget items, that’s what Chip Roy was saying, when it comes to these money matters that just require a majority vote, 50 votes, well… The continuing resolution is to continue spending from the previous form. It’s a budget item, too. It’s a spending measure. We need to go there and just nuke it. Nuke this 60-vote barrier that we have and just plow forward. Yes, I know the concern. is it because sadly we have and i was looking at some of these numbers i put them here somewhere i did a quick write-up research on on the numbers of the last election let’s see if i find that sheet right here somewhere it was oh yeah last election Look, on the Electoral College, Donald Trump, it was an even close. Electoral College, because of the way states line up, the electoral votes go in, everything ratified, 312 to 226 against Kamala Harris. Donald Trump also won the majority vote. But of a nation of, what is it, like we’re on 350 million people or so? And of all the people that went to vote, Donald Trump, our president, got 77.3 million votes. Kamala Harris, just over 75. So technically speaking, by our political skin on our teeth, 2 million people. In a race that was over 150, it was like 152 million people who voted for president. Over 152 million people voted for president. Only 2 million made a difference as far as the majority vote. Which, and I say this to you, yes, I know it’s irrelevant because of the electoral college, but we got too many people voting stupidly in this country. Despite the policies, despite the advocacy for mental illness and lunacy that is taking place on the left, the advocacy for the mutilation of children’s genitals through this gender reassignment or affirmation, whatever they call it, surgery on children. injections of hormones, suppression injections. When I was growing up in the 80s and watching the news and following what was taking place in Huntsville, that’s where death row is at in Texas, we’d hear about castration injections for lifelong rapists, try to calm them down, try to take away their sex drive. Yeah, that’s what they’re… We have so-called medical experts and some parents who have brainwashed and think that they can reassign the sex of their children. They’re injecting that into their kids. Some people, they’ve got way too many sheepskins. They’re just plain old dumb. They’re useless in society. And then, of course, the issue of men and boys in women’s sports. That is the modern incarnation of the Democrat Party. That is what they’re advocating for. That’s what they’re pushing, all this craziness, all this mental illness. That is the first foot. That’s the foot they put forward first. And despite all of that, we have 75 million, over 75 million people in our country Yes, I know New York’s really big and California’s really big. Still, almost half the population voted for all of that craziness, despite how crazy, all this mental illness, all this insanity, all this demonic, satanic possession that it is. It’s like they’re tools of Satan themselves these days, if you believe in that. 75 million people voted that way. So because people voted stupidly, yes, that’s why we could easily fall over the cliff again. And given just the right scenario in a midterm election, Republicans lose the House by maybe a few votes. Despite the valiant efforts by, what, Missouri? They got one. North Carolina working on redistricting. Texas, they put up five seats that could be won by Republicans. People still need to show up. They still need to vote. They still need to send those new representatives to Congress. More Republicans. Well, let’s say the Democrats win the House. And the Senate, well, I don’t know if it can flip. I need to look at those numbers. Usually it’s one-third of the Senate that’s up for vote. I don’t know if it’s majority Republicans that go around or majority Democrats that are up for a vote. But let’s put a scenario where, oh, my goodness, I shudder to think about this. You got both chambers of Congress. The presidency is all Democrat. And, man, if we… Not that they need us, I’d say conservatives or GOP, to go ahead and use a nuclear option. They could do it anyway. In fact, if you think back, they tried, they failed. They tried to plow forward with Joe Biden and having the majority and everything. They tried to plow forward. You guys remember? They were talking about D.C. statehood. They were talking about Increasing the number of judges at the federal courts because they weren’t happy that he went conservative or more Constitution-minded. Puerto Rico statehood. Those are not even the worst. Yes, with D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood, you get potentially two more Democrat senators for Puerto Rico for the District of Columbia as a state now. That’s four more potential Democrats. Definitely in D.C., that’s two solid Democrats that would go. Puerto Rico, eh. These Latinos are kind of religious and conservative. I don’t know, they would have to fight hard, but maybe they could get four more, or three more Democrats. But outside of that, and of course increasing the number of judges, I think that was the big fight. And the reason we don’t have an increase in the number of judges at the high court, we don’t have… the option back, we didn’t get the option back then for the Democrats to use the nuclear option to go just, just go majority votes, 50 plus one, whatever they could do. If it’s tied, go 50 plus one, get the vice president to vote. The reason we didn’t get that is because Joe Manchin and Christine Sinema, those two stood in the way, said, no, we can’t do that because we do that. The Republic isn’t going to do that for us. Mind you, the Democrats tried anyway. And had Joe Manchin and Christian Sinema not said no, we would be there right now. Or actually, we’d be in a different America. Because under Joe Biden and all the Democrats having controlled everything, it would have been what? Forget Obamacare. At some point, they would have realized, hey, we got the ball on our court. There’s no more goalie. that’s blocking it, forget Obamacare. Let’s go for a full one-payer system, nationalized. Why not? They had full control, right? How about all these, let’s say, 11 million illegals that we had here, plus the 10-plus million that gained the system Under so-called amnesty. Oh, and the other 10 some odd million that crossed under Joe Biden because it was open border under Joe Biden. Pathway to citizenship for everybody. And you get a citizenship. And you get a citizenship. Everybody gets citizenship. They would have done that under just the majority vote, 50 plus 1, right? Just some of the nightmare scenarios. They tried it. They won it. And if and when they do get power, they’re going to try it again. So, having said that, now that you have the power, the Republicans, who just barely, will exercise it, use it, and let America vote the way they want. I’m backing the truck up a little bit. I’m conflicted on this one. Oh, my goodness. See, now I’m rethinking this. On my Twitter page, my ex-page, I put this little saying I came up with. You can walk out of heaven. Voluntarily, you can walk out of heaven. But hell will never release you from its grip. So I don’t know if we go that. America votes stupidly again, votes majority. All three, the executive, Senate, and also the House, well, they might transform America into something that we could never save again. So I don’t know. I’ll take it back. I have to think that one over. The nuclear option might be the only one, only option for the Republicans to exercise. If soldiers are not getting paid, if TSA are not getting paid and they’re off the job and the flights are grounded, air traffic control is not being paid. There’s a plan B that’s being considered to pay all these so-called essential employees as well. That also coming up, that comment from Senator John Cornyn. A little later on, on the Dana Show, I’m Sergio Sanchez in for Dana, broadcasting from South Texas.
SPEAKER 12 :
America’s tap water is a cocktail of heavy metals and toxins, the result of corroded pipes that we should have replaced decades ago. Let me just ask anybody in Flint, Michigan. You got lead, heavy metals, rust, basically liquid poison right off the tap. So when I tried Cove Pure on my counter, it was so easy. No plumber, no drilling. You just plug it in and pick your water temperature on the touch screen. And honestly, it actually tastes like water, not like death. So that’s why I use the Cove Water Purifier to keep my family safe. Unlike the government, CovPure actually does its job. Lead in your water doesn’t stop at a gross taste.

SPEAKER 18 :
I’m Sergio Sanchez, and for my friend Dana Lash, reporting to you from deep South Texas or Southern Command. It’s spider season in Florida. I probably should have saved this one for Florida, man, closer to the top of the hour. But, man, you talk about an insect. Well, I… Cockroaches don’t bother me. Spiders, oh my goodness. In Florida, some of the state’s most prominent spiders will be more visible over the next several weeks, they say. It’s partly due to some increased mating behavior during the fall. And of course, because of Halloween, people are noticing spiders more often and creepy crawly bugs. So they’re probably calling. The pest control people more often would just bring in the numbers up. Black widows, brown recluse, they’re not common in all parts of Florida, but whatever’s in Florida, spider season is here just in time for Halloween. The fall classic is set. It’s Toronto and LA. I really didn’t want to say LA, but I hate the Dodgers. But anyway, coming up just a little bit after we take another commercial break. There’s a story here I got in my pal. There’s one guy that no matter who wins, whether it’s the Dodgers or the Blue Jays, this guy’s going to get a World Series ring. And I’ll tell you about that just a little bit. And since… Let’s see. Chess is a big deal here in Deep South Texas. In fact, they’ve made movies about how big, how good chess competitions are here in Deep South Texas, right? Rio Grande Valley, Texas. Brownsville is the focal point for that. We have public schools that have these teams. Our university, UTRGV, they have won the national championship several times. Some… Colleges and universities claim they won football championships, and others claim that they’ve won basketball national tournaments. Well, here at UTRGV, our chess team, they’ve been national champs several times. And this is why I include this, because I know for some of y’all who are in chess, this means something to chess. Grandmaster Daniel.

SPEAKER 16 :
Again, this gets to the democratic solutions have never been to directly provides. It’s always been a subsidy to a middleman. But what happens is when the government promises endless funds to insurance companies or private universities without any cost controls. And Trump seems to understand this, prices rise far beyond the rate of inflation. And we’ve seen it in tuition, and we’ve seen it in pharmaceutical, and we’ve seen it in healthcare. So my question is, will Democrats recognize the poison pill that they’ve often placed into well intentioned policy?
SPEAKER 18 :
Mm-hmm. Yeah, that’s Jon Stewart. Great point. And, of course, you can hear who that was. He was speaking to Bernie Sanders, Mr. Communist himself. Hey, welcome back to The Dana Show. I’m Sergio Sanchez, and my friend Dana Lash, we’re reporting to you from her Southern Command office in Deep South Texas. Yeah, if health care or affordable health care or one-payer system was the best solution… If government-controlled decision-making on who gets health care, who doesn’t, in essence, and in the end, who lives and who dies, if it was feasible, if pragmatic and acceptable to everybody, where we would not be in a situation where, for example, I know some folks do complain about how limited, how rationed, the wait times for health care in I guess I should call it universal health care Canada or the UK for that matter if it was doable every single state in our country could put it into their budget and provide that health care but time and common sense and just the forces of the market have proven forever and a day it is not that easy It is not that affordable. And that’s why Obamacare in the end was placed as a subsidy to try to provide some insurance to pass the buck down and eventually made insurance more expensive and medical care more expensive for everybody. That’s how the government’s incompetence and sometimes greedy hands, always greedy hands, but definitely incompetent, put it into the system. That’s why it screwed up the whole medical care. The market made things much more expensive for everyone. And look, perhaps this might be a bad example, but I’ll tell you, it was the first thing that popped into my head. There’s this, the nuclear stockpile for our country At this moment, 1,400 employees that work at the nuclear stockpile protecting our nuclear bombs. You think that’s an important job? It’s got to be done right all the time? You’d think so, right? But 1,400 individuals, because of this government shutdown, are now on furlough. They’ll be let go. Can’t pay them, and you guys don’t show up to work. Like, bye. So no one’s watching the nukes. No, we do have. We have 400 individuals that are protecting the nuclear stockpile in our country. So if something that important, which would be, you know, nuclear weapons. that need to be properly cared for and stored and maintained, all the facilities, if something that important only requires 400 employees to make sure nothing blows up, blows this country to kingdom hum, why did we need the other 1400, may I ask? Yes, I’m sure there’s more details and more complicated, but still, I’ll leave that question on the table. If only 400 people will be able to protect our nation from a thermonuclear disaster and apocalypse, then why did we need the other 1,400 individuals? Same thing goes for any and all other government agencies and departments from cabinet positions that should not exist anymore, like the education department, for example. Trump administration has been trying to work its way out of that one and try to let go of individuals. We have folks that may not come back after this government shutdown, this shutdown imposed by Chuck Schumer, the shutdown Schumer. We have employees that may not be coming back. But if it was that affordable and feasible, I think every single state in our country would have its own health care option and be able to bring everybody in. But as Jon Stewart correctly said, Once you have a guaranteed gravy train, whether it is a university that has a medical school and different medical programs from nursing and research and biology, guaranteed grants and money, money, money, money coming left and right, all this money for all this research. If folks in pharmaceuticals had the same option, folks in private medical institutions had a guaranteed gravy train, what incentive is there to save money, to be frugal, to be efficient, in the end to try to churn out a profit which is necessary in all businesses. That’s why I do believe it should stay in the private sector because profit incentivizes efficiency. Profit incentivizes being frugal and responsible and providing proper oversight and management over the personnel and the assets that you have in order to churn out a profit give it back to your investors or try to stay even steven if you’re a non-profit organization make sure you don’t go on into the red and they go belly up the market is the best as i said for the longest time i was looking at for example today i know it might seem like i’m jumping all over the place but you know today is is back to the future day and on the movie yeah the trilogy And some of the things that they predicted would come in the future when they jumped from, I would like, 1989 to 2015, like 10 years ago. One of the items was big screen televisions everywhere. What do we have today? Big screen televisions everywhere. Did you know that back in 19… It was like in the late 90s, 97, 98. And I do believe it was Philips, or it could have been… No, Vizio came out later. I think it was, yeah, it was because that brand came out later. It was LG or Philips. A flat screen television cost $15,000. A 42-inch flat television cost $15,000. And within, I think, like within a handful of years, like within five, six years, That same 42 inch screen flat television was around $2,000. It went from $15,000 to $2,000. That is the market. It went from $15,000 to $2,000. That is the market force of demand which eventually stimulated the creation of more production of of more television into the market to flood the market and get everybody a flat-screen television that they wanted versus what they need, which is medical care. Don’t you think that if somehow we had an honest conversation about the number of very… Why should we be turning away medical school students, straight-A students, chemistry, biology geniuses. Why should we be turning these kids away from a place at a medical, we need more medical schools is what I’m trying to say. Don’t you think? More medical schools, more training institutions to get our kids ready. And who holds that if it’s not the industry, if it’s not the universities, if it’s not the politicians, if it’s not the medical society in this country? More medical schools. If our kids qualify, if we have thousands of kids that are rejected from multiple medical schools across the country, they need to be in there to feed the pipeline of demand. We’re talking about flat screen televisions, one. The other one is something that they need, we all need, which is medical services, medical care, and pharmaceuticals. We need more medicines, more pharmacies, more medical students, more providers, more schools. meet the demand. Just like in electronics, LG and Philips, I think Philips was the first one to develop it, they saw the call of the market and they met that demand. Here’s another item I promised you earlier. An example of two expenditures. One private, one federal. They both involve federal assets. And we don’t have a surplus right now. Right? We don’t. Or did I miss something? And this is somewhat embarrassing for me to say because being from Texas and broadcasting from South Texas to you, our Senators, both of them, Senator John Cornyn is going to be in the fight of his political life to get the nomination next March. And Senator Ted Cruz, both of them, very much are in fever of a federal tax dollar funded effort to rip a space shuttle that you guys have up northeast in the DC area Space Shuttle Discovery, I think is the one. And transport it to Houston. Johnson Space Center. NASA. Okay, it makes sense. The thing is, here’s an example of how elections have consequences. You guys voted Obama into office. Obama did his best, as quickly as possible, to, ironically, privatize the space payload delivery business. spurred the creation the birth the flourishing of something called space x and other private industry that take government contracts to deliver payload and they take contracts from private industry to deliver their satellites and people whatever we have spacex super successful it’s it’s a brave new amazing new world and i say ironically that obama pushed in that direction because what he did to push nasa to push the payload delivery business into the private sector. He didn’t do that, wasn’t thinking that when it came to medicine. Those little few ideas I gave you a moment ago, meet the demand, create more product, create more services, service providers, to lower the price where it can be lowered and made accessible. Do not provide a guaranteed gravy train to the pharmaceuticals, to the big hospital institutions, to the universities, to all these places that expect the government to provide them a big fat check to continue research, life-saving research, and medical care. No, it’s the market that can’t provide it. Just leave it, let it be, and stop putting your influence in there. So Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz, and what’s embarrassing is that money has already been set aside for this. My understanding is that in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, Lord knows how many millions upon millions, tens of millions of dollars have been set aside to move the space shuttle Discovery from, I guess, the D.C. area somewhere in Virginia. I don’t know where it is. It’s a museum up there. Is it at the Smithsonian? I don’t think it is. Move it to Houston, to the Johnson Space Center, because you guys voted Obama in, and Republicans, Texas, Houston got screwed. They didn’t get a shuttle. When they shut down the space shuttle fleet, they didn’t get a shuttle. They got like a wood mock shuttle that was used for, I guess, for aerodynamic testing or something like that. That’s what Houston got. It’s embarrassing. The Johnson Space Center, Houston, the first word said on the moon. That’s what they got. Well, let it be, man. We don’t have 200 or whatever. What was the figure? Let me see if I remember correctly. Oh, it was like $80 million. $80 million at a time when we do not have a surplus. We are in debt of $35 trillion and counting every single year is a trillion dollars more in debt to our grandkids and our children. Yeah, they found $85 million. Set that aside to move the shuttle from the D.C. area down to Houston. And why couldn’t they find any private money for that, private donation money? I’m sure somebody would have paid money for that. That’s your tax dollars at work where, in my opinion, they shouldn’t be. And I love Houston. I grew up in Houston. I was always at the Johnson Space Center. I love that place. I would want to see space. No, not this way. And then comes this word from D.C. You should see the pictures of the White House, the east wing of the White House. They’re ripping that sucker apart. Crews are starting to work on creating a new ballroom. They call it the Trump Ballroom. The present facility that’s a dining facility is like a 9,000 square foot facility for state dinners and things like that. It only holds like 90 or 100 people, something like that, during state dinners. Well, President Trump… He wants a much bigger facility, 90,000 square foot facility, a 90,000 square foot east wing, like a ballroom, a Trump room they call it. How much federal money went into that? I don’t know exactly. I’m sure there might be something, but I can tell you that Donald Trump, President Trump, was touting a few days ago that this 90,000 square foot ballroom, they’re ripping the east wing right now. If you took pictures and they’re going to visit the White House, cherish those because that place is not going to be the same. I have some of those with my kids. That facility, you guys remember a few days back, you had to sit down with all these high-tech companies, Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, all these people, these bigwigs. 25 some of these people were putting in the kitty putting in the piggy bank 25 million dollars plus each one of them money money millions and millions to create this thing in other words donald trump it seems like president trump was able to finance this 250 million dollar 90 000 square foot facility it seems like either the majority or all of it was paid for donation to create that thing in the east wing well if it’s if it’s luxury if it’s extra Yeah, find somebody to pay for it. Don’t be taking tax. We don’t have any money to be paying to move the shuttle from D.C. down to Houston. We don’t have any money for this 90,000-square-foot facility on the East Wing. Find the money in the market to pay for it, just like Donald Trump did. From South Texas, I’m Sergio Sanchez. This is The Dana Show.

SPEAKER 18 :
And this note from Miami, a man who said that he was an ICE agent. He was customs immigration guy. Taken into custody for driving drunk. He was pulled over, reckless driving. People called in.

And the truth is, the Marxists, the radicals, and the Islamists, the Democratic Party promoted this weekend. They cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king, and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it. His administration has been willing to say it. And Charlie Kirk was willing to say it, and he got killed for it.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, sir. That’s Chip Roy. Chip, Chip, hooray, Chip Roy. Congressman from Texas. By the way, he’s running to be AG, Attorney General of Texas. I’m Sergio Sanchez, and we’re broadcasting The Dana Show. I’m in for my friend Dana Lash today. This is The Dana Show. and broadcasting from deep South Texas, RGV of Texas, at the studios of KURV, home of Starbase, Texas. I proudly say that. I still pinch myself. I can’t believe we got Elon Musk, like, down the street. This dude’s launching rockets into space. And the update to that, he’s put in a request with the FAA, and I think they closed comment on it yesterday. He’s trying to go orbital. Like right now he’s just launching stuff and it lands in the Indian Ocean. He wants to go like orbitals. Let’s do some rounds on planet Earth. So that’s the update on SpaceX here. They’ve got like 3,000 people employed at SpaceX. And he developed a city already. That’s when I say Starbase, Texas. It’s an actual real-deal city in Cameron County right there next to Brownsville, Texas, a star-based Texas. That’s his town. It’s got like 3,000, 4,000 people building rockets. It’s got its own little city. It’s just crazy awesome. Yeah, that’s where you’re listening to the Dana Show from today. Let’s see here. University of Houston, Poli Sci Department. Oh, by the way, I used Chip Roy in his comments, his description. of the, and I’m being polite, mental midgets, the misinformed, low information crowd, as Rush Limbaugh used to say. Folks that are really not paying attention to what is taking place, and it is their TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, that is just blinding them to reality, blinding them to opportunity, prosperity, peace. I mean, this past weekend, these parades, the parade of clowns that they participated in, I mean, I think the appropriate signs, and I said this on my talk show, I think the appropriate signs would be things like, give Iran some nukes, no fair trade, return the hostages. That would have been an appropriate sign, because in the end, they were marching for the failure of America. despite the fact that we have seen amazing successes in just a few months of the Trump administration. All administrations have their controversies, but let me tell you something. Donald Trump, he is waving the bat, waving the stick of tariffs right now, and watch it coming up in November. They’ve got a high court decision on these tariffs. He has used the tariff threat to bring in line From Vietnam to the Philippines to the UK, Japan, all these countries bring in line, all these countries to put a proper, more balanced and fair trade agreement with the United States. You charge us this much, we charge you this much, and it won’t be that onerous. Because of that carrot, that stick and carrot approach, which right now he’s waving the stick with China. I hope he’s able to… create some type of fair agreement with China. The president honestly saying these days, 55% tariff on stuff coming in from China, it goes straight into federal coffers. I’m not into the logistics of all this. I do try to talk as often as possible, being on the border with international bridges around here. Believe me, I’ve got folks that are experts in trade and customs and brokers and all this. They explain to me. The country’s making money right now on Chinese goods that are coming in and the extra cost of that, all the tariffs that are coming in. Let’s try to lower that to a more sensible price, maybe 25% coming in. How about 25% for American goods to finally get access to the billion-plus Chinese who are a little well off now than compared to, let’s say, you know, 100 years ago. They’re doing a whole lot better, especially they’re doing a lot better now than back in the 70s when Nixon opened up China and brought the power of the market and capitalism to a bunch of chi-coms who own all these companies. And they’ve been making money hand over fist because that’s capitalism. That’s the market. It works. Socialism, central decision-making for resources, for production, for distribution. It does not. That is a fact. And these… Mental midgets that are like clowns marching this past week and making all sorts of ridiculous demands. Some of them, they don’t like the immigration policies under President Trump. All these silly signs saying, all immigrants are welcome. This is ridiculous. Okay, so how many are you going to house? How many are you going to take into your house? No. things are much better now the border is secure like President Trump said in that speech before Congress people he said it didn’t take a comprehensive immigration piece of legislation all it took was a new president to finally enforce the law and shut down the border and with these tariffs that he’s putting in place trying to come around to create a more fair distribution of of goods, we send them something, you charge us a fair amount, you send us something, we charge you a fair amount. At light speed, at Trump’s speed, he’s trying to get there as quickly as possible. These people who do not agree, and yes, I do recognize Describing tariffs and the threats of tariffs, yes, I know that is not a free, truly free market solution. I recognize that. But did we have one to begin with? No! When Vietnam was charging American goods, American companies, a 90% tariff to ship to Vietnam, to the 100 million Vietnamese who are now manufacturing a lot of these super expensive shoes to come back to this country, The Vietnamese did not have an affordable access to American superior goods and products of all types because they were charging American companies 90%. President Trump got on the horn and said, muchachos, we need to do something. Well, I don’t know what the Vietnamese word for muchachos would be, but he said, we need to do something about this. And we did. They lowered from 90% down to, I believe it was 15%. And now they’re accessing our market at the same level. Philippines, UK, you name it. The UK had to give up a bunch of privileges and abuses that they inflicted on the U.S. market. We did not have a free market. We have closer to a fair market, not free, but fair market now, thanks to Donald Trump. These folks who do not agree with us, who are parading this past weekend, the no kings, no kings march. You know the real kings, as I mentioned earlier? Are the career politicians who have been up in Washington, D.C. for more than a generation. And for me, a generation is 40 years. I know some of y’all say, well, a generation is 20. No, a generation, my definition, is 40 years. That’s the biblical one. You got to shut down Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, all these people that are up in Washington for their entire lives creating controls and policies and laws and restrictions to favor them and their friends. Those are the kings. They abuse your liberty, abuse your company, abuse your tax dollars and the debt that they assume on your children. The career politicians in D.C. And whose fault is that? It goes back to you and me, amigo. You and I are the ones responsible for getting rid of these people. New York, California, the voters are responsible to send in some new talent. Get involved in the process. Run for office. Yes, I know it’s going to be painful. It’s time away from your family. It is expensive. It’s embarrassing. Just take your hand out. Ask for a donation to run your campaign. You guys who have the financial well-worth offer this, do it. Run. For state office, for Congress as well. Get your butts in there. We have a country to save. And make sure that the politicians who were there and are there before you show up, that they’re not wasting the present budget and the future budget with all the debt that’s being assumed by these people. All these Marxists, all these leftists, all these statists. that were marching this past weekend that do not recognize what timing, right? Amazing. What amazing timing. Their parade comes on the very week that Donald Trump is being celebrated by all these Arab nations, by the Israelis, and the Knesset, and going over to Egypt, being celebrated by everybody. Finally got the hostages to come home. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. That war is over. In the evil, demonic hearts of the terror group Hamas, for them the war is not over. They can’t fight because they no longer have the amount of weapons and strength and freedom to abuse their position. They have been pummeled. They have been bloodied. Their leadership decimated. They finally cried uncle. Like, stop. In essence, stop killing us. I don’t know if they’re going to try to recruit more individuals or just, as they did immediately after the peace, they just started killing a bunch of their people who they thought were working with the Israelis. These people who marched this past weekend, you will never be able to reason with them. I am convinced of it. There is no reasoning with them. And I know I might be touching on some of your sensitivities by saying that they are the enemy, the leftists, the Marxists. the Trump derangement syndrome, chronic Trump derangement syndrome sufferers. They will never see anything good in this administration or any Republican or any conservative, and for some folks by extension, any Christian or God-believing or just moral America-loving person. It’s a mix of individuals who are left in this country. I told you a couple hours back in the first hour, I was running some of the numbers, 77.3 million people voted for Donald Trump. Seventy-five million individuals in our country, our neighbors, our friends, our brothers, co-workers, 75 million voted for Kamala Harris. We are at the precipice. We are right there, ready to fall. If America votes stupidly one more time to give Democrats the White House, to give Democrats both houses of government, They will be able to change this country into something that we will never be able to recognize. Friends, we must recognize who the enemy is. Chip Roy was right. These Marxists, the radicals, and yes, the Islamists who want to change America to their foreign way of thinking. When I say we are a Christian nation, when you are not allowed to kill someone, without being prosecuted and incarcerated. When you are not allowed to steal your neighbor’s stuff, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not bear false witness. You know, perjury, Jim Comey, all these things. That is based on what? The Ten Commandments. That is the basis. These are the underpinnings of Western society. Yes, that’s what I mean. But yes, we got a lot of people not going to church, a lot of people who just don’t believe, a lot of people who don’t want to be bothered with religion. I understand. I get it. That’s fine. But Western society, the United States of America, our Constitution, common law, our legal system, all of it is based… On the Bible, on the Ten Commandments. They got all these Islamists wanting to come in and change things. Well, they want Sharia law imposed. They want their own communities to impose Sharia law and punishments on women and infidels and all that crazy stuff. And they will not take no for an answer. They were marching this past weekend just to kind of get it out of the system. Chip Roy was right. And I am right when I say these leftists, these Marxists, these statists, and the Islamists who want to change America, who want to change the underpinnings of America, they are the enemy. And until the day that enough of us understand that to stop voting stupidly, stop voting for the modern incarnation of the Democrat Party, that is the enemy. That is the danger. They have no reservation whatsoever to call you the enemy, to the point that you must be killed. They’re the ones who are inflicting pain and violence and throwing our way some gunfire to shut us up, to silence us. When have you seen whites, supremacists, radicals, men, do any of that? Oh, J6, J6. No, that’s, no. That’s not an example. Not a good example. In the news, too often, too many times, we have the left inflicting, for too many years now, the left inflicting violence. Physical violence. Because your words, your truths, what you represent, what you stand for, those words are violence to them to the point they can use physical violence against you. They are the enemy. Realize that. And stop voting stupidly. I’m Sergio Sanchez. You’re listening to The Dana Show. We’re broadcasting from South Texas.

SPEAKER 03 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 18 :
Thanks for joining us today. I’m Sergio Sanchez in for my friend Dana Lash reporting to you from South Texas. Some patients with a progressive form of blindness, it’s age-related blindness, they’re able to see well enough thanks to new technology. It’s like a tiny, tiny speck of a chip, even smaller than a grain of rice from what I see. They put it at the center of the eyeball And then with special glasses, with the eye implant and smart glasses, Presto, these folks with macular degeneration are able to read again. Food allergies in kids weighed down about 46% compared to 2017 because they changed… their approach to specifically peanut allergies. They’re reporting now that peanut allergies are down 46% because of this new approach. They expose babies to peanut substance. You know, you start at a young age and they develop some resistance. And I need to deliver on this one. It’s a baseball story. So, you know, if you follow baseball, it’s the Blue Jays and the Dodgers are back. They’re an awesome team. I have to admit that. So there’s one guy, though, that it doesn’t matter Who wins the World Series? This one guy is going to get a World Series ring. His name is Buddy Kennedy. He played for the Phillies for a short stint. I wonder if producer Steve remembers him, or maybe he showed up on the radar for him. Buddy Kennedy is his name. He played for two games this past year for the Blue Jays. He went… One for six with a double. He played for the Dodgers for a few games, one for 18. And because he played for both teams during the regular season, presto. This guy, whoever wins, he’s going to wind up qualifying to get the World Series ring. This is the Dana Show, reporting to you from South Texas.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s always good to have options in terms of defense. And I always tell people that I carry. I have no problem carrying. You know, you heard me say this a million times. But I also think, you know, there are instances like, you know, if you’re under the age of 21 and you’re living on your own and you’re going to college, you can go overseas and carry in defense of your country, but you can’t here. This is where the Berna gun comes in. Berna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, you could compare it to stun guns. Those only have like one or two rounds. Berna. has a lot more I mean you’re looking at what is it something like a 15 shot capacity 15 rounds in the cartridge and so that’s that’s quite a lot and with Burna there is no waiting period there is no background check that you don’t have to pay a special fee you don’t have to do any of that you can actually buy it online and it’s sent right to your door and it’s accessible to everyone regardless of you know if you’re 20 years old living or going to college or 22 years old and you’re able to carry. But this is a great way to get around, I think, instances where you are disarmed and left unprotected by private property or other restrictions. Legal in all 50 states. It’s super affordable. There’s a couple of different models. The compact launcher, I think, is the best for these purposes. Easy target acquisition and no recoil. Visit byrna.com slash Dana and check out the Byrna C-L.

SPEAKER 01 :
We know that this has impacted undocumented immigrants who in Los Angeles are Angelenos because we don’t make the distinction. They are neighbors and workers contributing to our city and they continue to be swept up in these actions, denied their rights and subjected to fear and uncertainty without legal protection.
SPEAKER 18 :
Wow. That’s L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. And if there ever was an appropriate that deserved the name Karen, it’s this woman, Karen Bass, without any shame, without any reservation, admitting that she doesn’t see, there’s no light… Night and day, there’s no distinction between illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, and folks who are U.S. citizens and do have the constitutional rights and blessings that are afforded by this nation. Individuals who entered illegally, who jumped the line, who broke the rules, who broke the law, and some of them several times. First time, it’s a misdemeanor. Second time, it’s a felony. Menace. Karen Bass, pretty much defining for everybody the difference, night and day difference, between the leftist, the modern-day Democrats, the open border Democrats, and individuals who want law and order, especially starting at the border. Well, we have it now, thanks to Donald Trump. My goodness. That is a comment, friend, from the enemy of our nation, the enemy of America. So… You know, it really is disgusting. It’s pathetic to see Democrats fighting to their potential political death right now up in Washington, shutting down the government, shut down Schumer, keeping the government closed. He has what he wanted, what he fought for many months ago against the Republicans, that so-called clean CR. In other words, no changes, just keep spending the way you were spending before. That’s what the Republicans have voted. They’re waiting for the Democrats to show up. Just keep spending the way you were spending before, which was Joe Biden levels of ridiculous spending. But you got these Democrats fighting to their potential political death, fighting for subsidies and the health care system with Obamacare. to include everyone, including millions upon millions of illegals in this country receiving the ER care. And for those gaming the system to try to stay in this country because they claim asylum, that claim should never have been accepted. You have access to the market, Obamacare, and get some working documents to stay in this country and game the system, game the courts forever and a day. It’s pathetic that Democrats are fighting to their potential political death to get this done, to force that issue before they open the government. They’re holding the government hostage. So what about the military? What about the folks at TSA? What about Border Patrol? What about Customs? What about ICE? No, they don’t get paid. They just keep doing your job until the Republicans blink. That is their strategy. It’s a game of political chicken taking place. We got… our senior senator of texas coming up in just a little bit comment on my what’s plan b to pay the essential employees the security base of the military with plan b and what about that nuclear option Just go for a majority vote in the Senate. 50, 50 plus 1, they won’t get 50-50. Just 50 votes, let’s go. Just get everybody to vote majority to move this clean, so-called clean CR forward. Just keep spending money until the end of November, by the way. That’s another thing that John Cornyn brings up. They’re going to have to figure things out at the end of November. Let me bring this note real quick. I saw this business note. I found fascinating, which could mean a potential revolution. in the way cities and communities provide public transportation. I mentioned this earlier on my talk show. Look, so you got Waymo in the news. They’re developing a partnership with DoorDash. That was one of the headlines. Waymo is now entering central Texas, up in San Antonio, up in central Texas. Waymo doing experimental rides. They’re in Dallas, they’re in Austin, San Francisco, L.A., Atlanta, other places. They’re also in Phoenix. I think that’s near Chandler, Arizona. I mention Waymo because in Chandler, Arizona, I think they are applying Waymo the way it should be applied, should be used by public transportation entities. You know, in many areas, for example, here in Texas, public transportation, buses and rail and all that, that is not used regularly. As you would think, there are hundreds of millions, enough billions of dollars in subsidies from the government, money that is paid for these transportation outfits, whether it be light rail in Houston or buses that go half, not even half empty. They barely have any people sometimes. Here in South Texas, we have a bus system. Hardly has any people on them. And that’s the case for the Southwest, where people have cars and trucks. They have the freedom to get around town when they want. Well, that’s what Waymo provides, rideshare, Chandler, Arizona. I’m guessing that’s near Phoenix because they got the Waymo service there. They are now applying these little self-driving cars and like the Uber style and Lyft services. They’re applying this on-demand service. People call, they need to go somewhere. Let’s say they’re handicapped or something like that. They’re implementing it into their system. I think this is the way to go. Instead of going more light rail, more train systems, definitely more bus systems in our country. Especially in markets where there’s no return, there’s no profit. The fares that people are paying, they never make that up. Think about this. Go the service-on-demand car or small bus, Waymo, Uber, Lyft, whatever it is, that’s the way to go. On-demand service, probably busy in the morning, busy in the evening, or maybe midday, somebody needs to go to the doctor, grandma needs to go to the doctor, shows up at her house to pick her up. I think that’s a better option instead of blowing billions of dollars in public transportation systems that are not used and there’s no return from because people don’t use them enough, especially in some big markets. I’m Sergio Sanchez. This is The Dana Show. We’re reporting to you from the studio of KURV in South Texas for Southern Command. Earlier today, I had a conversation with a senior senator of Texas, John Cornyn. So what is plan B on the shutdown? How do we stop this thing? Go ahead, Steve. Well, that political game of chicken continues up in D.C. It’s pretty much Democrats demanding that we play this chicken game. Let’s see who blinks first. Republicans, they just want to keep spending. And what’s ironic is based on Biden-era levels. Just keep it open. Keep spending. Democrats demanding, no, we need to include something else. Got to go back to get some of these subsidies for Obamacare, all that. Senior Senator for the state of Texas, John Cornyn, joining us. So, Senator, we’ve got, let’s say in November, if this goes well into November, We’ve got, first up, I think it’s the food stamp, the SNAP program, that cliff we’re looking at, and then Thanksgiving Day travel and the mess that will be as well. So give me an update. What’s the talk up in D.C. as far as opening things up and Democrats coming to their senses?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, Sergio, Democrats are in the thrall of their radical base. You know, the same people that have nominated Democrats london e and uh… in new york the uh… the the democrat so-called democratic socialists and really uh… and then you look at things like the okay no king’s rally that was co-sponsored by the communist party of america the democrats are really in the tank with the most radical elements of the of our politics today and that’s their political base and they’re afraid to do anything that would give that base reason to object, including keeping the government open. And so we’re here now on the 21st day of the shutdown. And while most Americans and certainly most members of Congress don’t feel the shutdown, as you point out, there are people now who are beginning to experience the negative effects, including federal employees, including recipients of food stamps, the most vulnerable in our society who need a little help now and then when they fall in hard times. And then the seniors who were at home, depending on telehealth, which is one of the innovations that really got to be more broadly used in the COVID era when people couldn’t go in person to visit their doctor. So all that’s in jeopardy, but it’s really just the beginning of the problem, and we continue to give Democrats a chance to reopen the government. And this is, after all, just a short-term stopgap spending bill that takes us to November the 21st.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s around the corner.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, I mean, every day that goes by, it becomes almost moot. But that’s where we are.
SPEAKER 18 :
The GOP not suffering much. They seem to be unified on this. And the polling data is not killing President Trump or the Republicans on this. Is it because… More folks, they’re just cynical and they just don’t believe Democrats for how radical they are and all the lies during the Biden administration. Is there proper messaging on the part of certain leaders in the House, in the Senate, in the White House? Why is it that you guys are able to hold the line so far and the public is not rallying against the GOP, the Republicans at the moment?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, I think because our position is clear and it’s simple and it makes sense, which is the House has passed a short-term spending bill taking us to November the 21st. All we need is five more members of the Senate, Democrats, to vote with us to reopen the government. And then we can talk about anything and everything that they want to talk about. They want to talk about the expiring enhanced subsidies under the Obamacare under Obamacare, which with a cap on that was raised during the Biden administration. So people making more than a half a million dollars a year. We’re getting free health care, courtesy of you and me, while we continue to march toward more and more national debt. So we’re going to have to deal with that, but we’re not going to deal with it until the Democrats reopen the government.
SPEAKER 18 :
Senator John Cornyn from Texas joining us. So we are a month away from that November 21st deadline that you mentioned on that CR. So how does it play out in your mind? So let’s say… Let’s say you get five senators who agree with you, and okay, let’s go ahead and agree. November 21st is around the corner. You’ve got another CR that you need to, well, the House needs to pass, and you guys need to pass. So we’re looking at maybe a potential second shutdown unless, I don’t know, is there some haggling negotiating behind the scenes to keep some of these Dems happy before the November 21st deadline? What’s taking place in the halls of the Senate and House?
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, the fiscal year for the Congress is September 31st, which obviously we’ve already passed. And so that’s the need for the short-term spending bill. But I think we are quickly getting to a position where we’re going to be looking at a year-long continuing resolution rather than the regular appropriations process, which is important for a lot of reasons, not just to keep the lights on, but to help fund our military, to make sure that the Border Patrol is compensated and all the things the federal government does that are important. But I think that sort of feels like where we’re heading. But to me, it just signals the dysfunction of Washington, D.C., Because no matter how much we disagree with each other, there are some things that we should be able to agree on, like keeping the government funded and operating, and then we can fight about all the other things that are important that we do fight about.
SPEAKER 18 :
Chip Roy, among the GOP members in the news today, he just offered a quote. He’s contemplating the nuclear option, which would go from 60 votes down to 50. He says, look, budget issues is just 51 votes, 50 plus 1. Reconciliation, 50 plus 1. Well, this is a CR. Let’s use the nuclear option on CRs from this point on. What do you say to that?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, I think it’s tempting. It’s tempting to do it because it’s sort of the easy way out, because we have 53 Republicans in the Senate. But we won’t always be in the majority, and I’ve been here when we’ve been in the minority, which means then we turn the keys over to the Democrats when they’re in the majority, and they can basically do anything they want without any sort of Republican buy-in. And I think that’s not healthy for the country because what that means, if we did that, is basically the law would change every two years depending on who wins the election. And businesses and investors couldn’t plan on what the tax laws were going to be and what the policies of the government were going to be to make investments, to grow the economy, to create jobs, and that sort of thing. So I think it’s a short-term problem.
SPEAKER 18 :
uh… short-term it sounds pretty attractive but long-term i think it would be a mistake well the concern is the democrats as you said democrats they do get control and god forbid all three branches of government and by one vote they could just ram through whatever they want they’ll do that anyway senator look we’re not talking about you’re right kristin cinema And Joe Manchin are the only reason we don’t live in that world right now, because they stood in the way.
SPEAKER 19 :
I never thought I would say I missed Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, but they were at least people you could talk to and reason with. And, of course, right now Chuck Schumer fears for his political life because he’s afraid the radical base of the Democratic Party will throw him overboard. if he agrees to anything reasonable with President Trump. The Democrats are still in full resistance mode, even since the November 5th election, and this is just further evidence of that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. His real name is Shutdown Schumer, though. That’s what we’ve been calling him for for several years now. Shutdown Schumer. Shutdown Schumer. Hey, before I let you go, just one minute real quick. Might there be a plan B to pay workers where you work on legislation for the military, for TSA, something like that? Is there something in the works being talked about?
SPEAKER 19 :
Yes, there is. It’s just unfair to have the burden fall on the military and on federal workers and others bear no responsibility for this. One out of every six people in America live paycheck to paycheck, and I think we all understand the importance of people getting paid on time. So, yes, I expect that the majority leader will put a bill on the floor that will pay federal employees sometime later this week, and we’ll see what the Democrats do.
SPEAKER 18 :
Senior Senator of Texas John Cornyn, thanks for your time. Be well.
SPEAKER 12 :
