KLZ 560 AM DENVER'S CONSERVATIVE HOME STATION
Menu
In this episode, we dive into the intense standoff regarding the government shutdown, as political leaders argue over passing a nonpartisan funding bill. We explore the public’s growing discontent with the situation and discuss the significant influence social media plays in shaping public perception. The episode highlights the political landscape with insights into how figures like John Fetterman are bridging the partisan divide, marking a shift in political engagement and strategy.
SPEAKER 13 :
Hey guys, it’s Erin Andrews from Calm Down with Erin and Carissa. So they say you can’t plan for the unexpected, but whoever said that obviously didn’t know about Aflac. You probably know the Aflac duck, but you might not know what Aflac can do for you. For example, did you know they pay cash that can help with expenses health insurance doesn’t cover? If you get sick or injured, Aflac pays cash that can be put towards co-pays and deductibles to even non-medical expenses like rent or your mortgage payments. It’s completely up to you. Get help with expenses health insurance doesn’t cover. Visit Aflac.com to learn more.
SPEAKER 20 :
The president in Republicans’ position has been clear and unchanged. Pass a clean, nonpartisan funding bill to reopen the government. And then we can talk about all of the partisan issues that the Democrats wish to. If you’re watching at home, we urge you to call your Democrat senators and tell them to put our country over their party and reopen the government today. Here in our new media seat, we have Brittany Gibson of Axios. Brittany, why don’t you start us off for our Q&A today? Thank you for being here. Thank you. Two questions.
SPEAKER 22 :
So Caroline Leavitt talking about the shutdown, which, by the way, we’re still it’s the Democrats shutdown simply because they won’t.
SPEAKER 09 :
agree to i’m so tired of this kane my gosh i just want to yeet myself off my roof but it’s what what they hated was the big beautiful bill that destroyed essentially their sieve of money for everything that they wanted to do politically they know now that if they don’t make this fight and hold the american people hostage the future of the democrat party is over
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, yeah. I mean, it’s – this is a bit – you know, I find it fascinating that they’re not getting as much – Think about this. They’re not getting as much support as I as they previously did. I mean, they’re getting I’m not talking about the press. What I’m talking about is the public, because the public polling, the polling that I’ve seen. I mean, it’s a lot of it’s like push pull nonsense where we have these individuals that, you know, when they what what push pulling means is that you’re basically asking like, wow. So, you know, are you in support of the president beating his wife? You know what I mean? It’s a very leading thing. But I really do. think that the people are not, they’re not buying into it because I feel like people have followed things way closely lately. Even, you know, some of the independents that we always talk about, maybe they’re not always plugged in. You know what I mean? That’s, that’s kind of, I sort of, I feel like, does it feel that way? I had somebody actually had a family member ask me this last night. And they said that they feel like there’s more. How did they put it? They feel they felt like there was more tension. They were talking about this on Facebook and I thought it was a very interesting insight. They felt like they felt that there was more tension and that there’s so many things, so many stories and controversies that are flying all around that. They’re they’re trying to figure out if it’s just more corruption or if it’s because they think that because people are maybe are seeing it more, which I thought was interesting. The question was, yeah, is there always been this much transgression or are we just more hyper aware? and able to easily access the information. And my point was that I think it’s both. I think it’s the hyper availability of social media that has really made it to where you can, I mean, really find out anything, but you can also be misled really easily as well. Let’s Now, I’m not going to say anything about certain grandparents sharing videos thinking they’re real. I’m not going to do that. But, you know, my point stands. I think that that’s what it is. And so my point in bringing this up is I was looking at these aren’t like the biggest polls and they’re like likely voters, not registered voters, all this kind of stuff. But my point in bringing it up is that it really does seem as though the public is not buying it. They’re not buying it and they are dissatisfied with the excuses that they’re hearing from Democrats. And then lastly, I think that John Fetterman’s reach extends far beyond what any Democrat thought it would. I I’m actually I’m pretty shocked. He has a bigger reach than AOC. Think about it. She has a big mouth and she’s able to get headlines and clickbait with her surrogates. But who’s Fetterman reaching out to? Is AOC reaching out to Republicans? No. Are there any Republicans listening to anything she says? No. Is she changing the minds of any independents? No. But look at Fetterman. Fetterman is not only convincing independents, but he’s also making leeway with Republicans who are who because he’s agreeing with the most common sense of their points. That’s the strategy Democrats should have. If they were a smart party, they’d put all their eggs in. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but they ought to. And I think that has contributed to this as well, because the public sees him as not being a zealot, a partisan zealot. And as a result, I think that his thoughts have more weight because he looks like he’s evaluating things more fairly. Does that seem like a fair assessment, Cain? Because none of the polling and the polling that tries to argue otherwise, I mean, there’s only a couple and it’s so heavily oversampled. Like it’s MSNBC stuff. This is some of the stuff I was looking at this morning. Nobody believes that any of this is Republicans’ responsibility.
SPEAKER 09 :
He’s one of those rare Democrats that actually represents all of his constituents. It’s an odd thing to see sometimes.
SPEAKER 22 :
I got to tell you, I would be flipping terrified if they decided to elevate him and recruit more candidates like him. Yeah. I mean, wow. They’re never going to do it. This is actually something I can guarantee you that we can talk about and it’s never going to happen because they’re so nuts. They’re so nuts. It’s never going to happen. If they had like Zell Millers and John Fettermans and who was some of the other – I’m trying to remember some of these other moderates. They had a couple of moderates that ran in 2012 and that’s when they really finally ran the last of the moderates out of their party. They did the whole thing about you can’t be – In favor of you can’t be pro-life and be in the party. This is stuff that, you know, they’ve they’ve done for a long time. They ran them out along a long while ago. There was I saw a headline also. How did we get here? A reality check for Democrats like other Democrats going, please, Democrats. Please. Now, speaking of I’ve got some really crazy news in Virginia. We got to look at Virginia. This is something else. they are fighting over redistricting, right? They’re fighting over redistricting and they want to redraw the house maps. Okay, Dana, that’s a lot of states are doing that. Why is that like a big deal right now? Because of their process. Every state does things differently, right? They have different processes. It’s a, you know, it’s a thing. They have different ways of doing things. Missouri has a different way like Texas does. There’s certain things that the governor is not allowed to do without oversight in Texas that the governor would be able to do in Missouri. It’s just very. So here’s the thing. They are, this is, it came out in the New York Times. It was confirmed. There were a lot of, there was a lot of talk about this yesterday. Virginia Democrats are planning to redraw House maps in a redistricting push. Now, they say that the move will give Democrats two or three additional seats, and they’re scrambling the last couple of weeks to do this ahead of the November 4th election. Now, why would you, why in the world? That sounds kind of weird, right? They got a lot of other stuff going on right now. They’ve got elections. They’ve got a gubernatorial election. They have all of this other stuff going down. It’s just kind of weird that this is what they’re choosing to do now. Well, there’s a reason why. They’re desperate because the polling is in for Virginia, for Abigail Spanberger, for Jay Jones. The last minute session that they’re calling, the process to this is that it pulls Winsome Sears off the campaign trail. But there’s more. It not only pulls Winsome Sears off the campaign trail, the legal loophole that Virginia General Assembly members must follow is that they cannot be charged with a crime while in session. Now, remember, Jay Jones is under investigation. That’s what this is about. This is Virginia Democrats pulling a Hail Mary for a last minute session to completely pull Winsome Sears as the lieutenant governor running for governor off the campaign trail and to protect Jay Jones from investigations into his improprieties. The text messages are the tip of the iceberg. They not only refused to condemn Jay Jones, who was recklessly driving. He could have killed someone. He’s the attorney general nominee. His texts where he was fantasizing about murdering, shooting in the head his political opponents and murdering their children so that their mothers could watch them die in front of them. Those were his words. I mean, he actually was talking about, quote, cradling their dead children. So they’re protecting him. This is the whole point. The special session meeting is official and it starts at 4 p.m. on Monday. So the gubernatorial election for Winsome Sears, her campaigning is effectively over. Jay Jones is now shielded for as long as they are in special session. They did not have to rush to withdraw this. And in fact, originally, they weren’t even on that timeline. But now they’re rushing to not only expand additional seats, but they’re trying to protect Jay Jones and they’re trying to protect Abigail Spanberger. And in essence, they’re trying to really cheat a free and fair election. This is election interference without exception. That’s exactly what this is. And so Winsome Earl Sears, she’s not, will not be able to fundraise either. So when I say she can’t campaign, she can’t do anything. She can’t raise money. She can’t do anything. Last minute ad buys, you know, a couple of weeks before an election are paramount. Cain, you know how important they are. They’re also very expensive. Her hands are entirely tied now. Democrats, by orchestrating this, the whole reason they did it was to affect the election. This is because Democrats are panicked. Spanberger has dropped in the polls. Jay Jones is getting walloped right now in the polling. And. I don’t know. Here’s the problem. They’re gambling, though. Because they could set up a major backlash in other races for their House of Delegates later on. They are flirting with a major backlash here. And This is something else, I tell you. Wow. Chapter is that entity that makes it easy. You hear about, why do you get the whole Medicare enrollment season thing? And I’m not even Medicare eligible, and I’m annoyed by all of the commercials on it. Some of you get the mailers and the texts and all this stuff. Look, I get it that you want to make sure that your plan’s good and that you don’t lose coverage because it’s very important. Medicare plans can change every year. But you still, even if you’re happy with your plan, you got to check what’s coming for 2026. Chapter is a partner that will work with you. Make sure you’re not overpaying. And on average, they save people over $1,000 annually. They review every plan across the country. Their advisors are salaried. They’re not working on commission. They advocate for you, not the insurance company. And it just takes under 20 minutes to do it. End all of the emails and texts and all of it. And if your current plan is still the best fit, then you’re set. If not, chapter will help you switch. No gimmicks, no pressure, just honest advice from experts who know Medicare inside and out. Dial pound 250 and say the words, my Medicare. It’s too important, so don’t risk it. Work with chapter, a partner you can trust. Dial pound 250 and say the words, my Medicare.

SPEAKER 22 :
Target has cut 1,800 corporate jobs in its first round of major layoffs in a decade. This is a lot. What are they going to do? Because Christmas season, isn’t that their busiest season? What are they going to do? So they said that they announced this yesterday. It’s about 8% of its corporate workforce. But if it’s corporate, it doesn’t matter. First off, how do you have that many corporate jobs? That’s kind of crazy. Anyway, I haven’t been to Target in… forever. They’re trying to get back to growth and they’re poised to get a new CEO in February. How many of you think that a lot of this began when they started messing with the men and women’s bathrooms? Because that’s actually one of the reasons I didn’t go back to Target. I’ve had to go like one time in the past two years because they had like a skin. I get like mild eczema. They have like a skin thing that I needed over the counter that I couldn’t get anywhere else and I had to go there.
SPEAKER 09 :
If you look at their stocks and when it actually dipped, it coincides with that time.
SPEAKER 22 :
I’m just saying, I feel like they need to make a play. And then all of the weird alphabet stuff that they were doing. I don’t think anybody’s gone in there. Magnolia seems to be at home in it. Let’s see. Locals are leaving and permits are few. Malibu is having a post-fire identity crisis. They don’t know what to do. They have wood frames that are rising up from the ashes of those crazy fires that now you just have burned out lots in the Palisades and everywhere else. But they said in Malibu down the road, it’s really bleak. There’s just a lot of caution tape. There’s a lot of hollowed out shelves. A lot of the houses are not graffiti tagged. And I mean, it’s been almost a year and everything is like frozen because it is impossible to get permitted to do anything. In fact, listen to this. L.A., which handles most permits, they’ve only they’ve issued barely over 40 percent of permits upon the total of applications received. And this is literally all rebuilding permits. None of it’s like new architecture. It’s just literally rebuilding what was existing. And L.A. County has handed out even less. It’s under 26% of the total applications received. Malibu, under 2%. They don’t want to rebuild. They’re doing this on purpose. So people need to move. Wall Street bonuses expected to hit record as bank profits surge. Interesting. We’ll come back to that. Also, Francis Ford Coppola, who’s one of my absolute favorites, says he’s broke and he’s selling a custom one million dollar watch after his megalopolis debacle. You know what he did? The Godfather.

And we stand ready to pick up on that progress and build on that progress when the Americans are ready to have those discussions, because it will be for the benefit of workers in the United States, workers in Canada, and families in both of our countries. Now, what we can control Absolutely, is how we build here at home. And that’s the focus of Budget 2025, generational investment here in Canada. And what we can also control, or at least heavily influence, is developing new partnerships and opportunities, including with the economic giant.
SPEAKER 22 :
It was weird when they were sitting there. They had such a great… It seemed like they had put all negativity behind them, Cain. Yeah. That was the prime minister there of Canada. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. The chat is at Rumble. Also, you can watch us do the radio show, Channel 347, DirecTV. And we have X and Facebook and all that. We’re going to get back into the Virginia stuff as well, but the Canadian thing. So it came out yesterday that there was this – I guess it’s like a fake Reagan ad or whatever that they aired that it was Ontario that aired it. Correct. And it upset POTUS. Do we even I don’t even think we we probably can’t even play the ad because YouTube will ding us. We can’t play anything for you because YouTube fights everything and you have to basically hire lawyers and go back and forth with YouTube and we can’t afford that.
SPEAKER 09 :
They can do it. I mean, they’re very proud of the ad. I don’t think they’d have an issue with it.
SPEAKER 22 :
But they’re Canadian.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 22 :
They’re polite, like, on the surface, but some of them will cut you.
SPEAKER 09 :
Eh.
SPEAKER 22 :
You know.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, go ahead and play it.
SPEAKER 22 :
Go ahead and play it then. This is the ad.
SPEAKER 06 :
When someone says, let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time. But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. Throughout the world, there’s a growing realization that the weight of prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America’s jobs and growth are at stake.
SPEAKER 22 :
So it was Ontario, and they’re going back and forth over negotiations with regards to tariffs and all this other stuff. So they released this ad and it angered POTUS. POTUS is very upset about this. Let me pull up his statement because he had a, he ended the trade talks with them over this. And this was, what, just like last night out of nowhere. I’m not going to read the whole thing because it’s huge. But he had, well, there was a couple of things that he released. He had a few posts. But he halted trade negotiations over this ad that used Reagan’s voice to oppose tariffs. This is the Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He’s, by the way, the brother of the other Ford guy who looked like Chris Farley but wasn’t. Oh. And he like admittedly like dead drugs. He was like talking about how he snorted coke and all this. I just, you know, he’s kind of like a wild, crazy dude. Anyway, Doug Ford said that the president would be would not be too happy with the 60 second spot. He said that earlier this week and he was correct. And. Trump posted the Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an ad, which is fake, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. He said they only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts and then caps locked it. Tariffs are very important to the national security economy and of the USA. And based on their egregious behavior, he goes back to caps. All trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. And the Reagan Foundation also hit back. And I think they have every right to do that. They said that it misrepresented. Now, I don’t care if Ontario, some people were making the argument that Ontario had the right to use the portion of the audio, et cetera, et cetera. That’s whatever. I’m not even going to get involved in that. It was, and even the Reagan Foundation says it was a misrepresentation of it. And they said that they had learned that they had created this ad. And that it is an inaccurate representation. And it was his radio address to the nation on free and fair trade. And that was back in April of 1987. And it said it misrepresents it and that they’re reviewing their legal options. And then they said, you’re encouraged to watch Reagan’s unedited video on their YouTube channel. And so Mark Carney and then the Canada U.S. trade minister said they’re not going to comment. They’ll have more to say today. I haven’t heard them say anything yet. And the spokesperson for Ford said, well, all it does is use this unedited excerpt from one of his addresses. But was it presenting it in the proper context? And they said that they the purpose of them quoting Reagan is they were trying to recognize that ultimately somebody pays the tariff and it’s the consumer. Now, they’re not entirely wrong about that. I’m not going to sit here and blow smoke up everybody’s backside. Um, all of this though, is to see what happens when this play runs, because we’re still in the middle of the play. Am I using correct terminal, uh, football terminology, Kane? Uh, sure. How does the correct, don’t, I want to hear from a single one of you people out there. You’re, you’re running a play and you’re like in the middle of the play being ran. Steve’s dying. Are you dying, Steve? I’m so sorry. Is that right? Is that right? Yeah. Did I get it?
SPEAKER 24 :
I would say drive, because you run a lot of plays in a drive. So I’ll go this drive.
SPEAKER 09 :
You just really broke her brain.
SPEAKER 22 :
So wait, it’s… Sorry, man. Are you driving the play? Or playing that drive? What?
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s a drive downfield.
SPEAKER 24 :
Right, you run a play to drive downfield.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay, okay. I just want to make sure I have this correct. So we’re in the middle of a drive… Okay. All right. All right. All right. So I… Okay. Good. I got it. Learned something new today. But we’re in the middle of it. So I want to see how this plays out because it’s all about equalizing these trade relationships with all of these other entities, all these other sovereign entities around the world. That’s what it’s about. So why can’t we… And of course, you have to have these negotiations and we have to get these numbers nailed down and that’s what we’re doing. So… I feel like a lot of people are trying to rush that. Believe me, I want to also because this is where, yes, some consumers are getting hit with higher costs as a result of that. I’m not going to lie to you. I’m not going to lie to you for political advantage or clicks. And the people who do, you know, they’re just doing it because they want your eyeballs, but they don’t really care enough about your minds or hearts. So the point is, though, that the purpose of the drive is And all of that being completed is for it to benefit everyone, including the consumer and the United States, at the end of it so that we have better trade deals that are permanent. Using tariffs is a tactic, and it’s not a permanent one. And it’s to be short term. That’s the whole point. And I understand that argument. What what concerns me is when it drags out and when these negotiations drag out and it takes longer and longer and longer. So now we have because we have already have double digit tariffs on steel, aluminum, auto, lumber, copper, all of that stuff. And he wants to renegotiate the U.S., Mexico, Canada free trade agreement. But he said, I’ll be open to abandoning it. I think that that’s a leverage tactic for him in negotiations. So that is that this is the purpose of it. And the ad that they played. Do you think it’s enough, Kane, that I understand what they’re doing? Is it enough of an of an offense to be like, well, we’re not going to talk to you anymore?
SPEAKER 09 :
Um… That’s a good question. I mean, that’s also, you know, I guess subjective as well. I mean, if Trump believes that Canada should just, you know, essentially respect the idea of what Trump’s doing with tariffs and he just is like, well, they’re clearly trying to spread lies about what I’m doing here with tariffs. So you guys just ended, you know, ended the talks. I mean, I think it’s reasonable from one perspective, but, you know, I guess you could say that maybe it might be a little over the top.
SPEAKER 22 :
I mean, I look at it kind of both ways. Like it’s over the top. Maybe I can understand that. But also I can understand with I’m tired of messing around with you. You know, I’m not going to give you the colloquialism that my mom uses where you need to act or do nothing. You can kind of understand what I’m talking about there. But. I mean, will it work? Now, here’s the thing that’s that’s different. You kind of have to have a different approach with every one of these countries. Now, I don’t want anybody because we have some Canadian friends and I’m not trying to offend you. I’m really trying to offend the progressives there that keep voting for these unhinged people that do these stupid things that anger allies. But whatever. You have to be heavy handed with countries like Qatar. Very much so. You got to be heavy handed with countries like Venezuela. That’s why he can say stuff like that, you know, where he’s like, yeah, well, you know, yeah, well, whatever these boats. Yeah. And they’re not going to mess around or blink around with the United States. Canada. They’re they seem very passive, aggressively polite. You know what I mean? Are they brutes? I don’t think they’re brutish. I don’t think they’re brutes in terms of being in brutality. Are they passive aggressive? Oh, totally. Yes, they are. But I don’t know, will that same tactic work? Because, you know, the people are very, it’s very, you’re talking about a very different demographic than you are about entity in the Middle East or even Ukraine or even Russia or anybody else very different so I don’t know it seems like a universal kind of approach and I don’t know if that’s necessarily the approach that’s going to get you the return on the investment of that action as quickly as you would like if that makes sense so I don’t know but whether or not they come back to this I just think, and I’m not defending Canada, but we jokingly say that Canada is America’s hat. Do you think that angers them? So do you think that they’re within their right to kind of push back? Or is it because they used Reagan to do it?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, look, I’m all about anybody trolling and doing whatever politically. I just think that… This is all part of a larger plan. I just can’t help to think this way because Trump wants Canada to be state 51. He wants that. I don’t want their voters. He would love that. Oh, hell no.
SPEAKER 22 :
Importing millions of progressive voters? Oh, absolutely redacted. Redacted or no.
SPEAKER 09 :
We have millions of progressive voters here.
SPEAKER 22 :
So we’re going to double it? We’re going to make it worse?
SPEAKER 09 :
We’ll be doubling it. Hell no.
SPEAKER 22 :
I don’t want any of that maple syrup Marxism.
SPEAKER 09 :
But it’s clear. Hell no. it’s clear trump definitely is one of this and he’s called for this in the past them being the 51st state they already know that without the 200 billion plus that we were in the negative every year with canada is essentially going to have to force them to do something and i think this might be part of that bigger play this is doug ford cut 17 he likes it he’s gonna keep doing it he says it’s the best ad he’s ever seen
SPEAKER 18 :
I heard that the president heard our ad. I’m sure he wasn’t too happy, but it’s real because it was coming from the best president the country’s ever seen, Ronald Reagan. So it is. It’s very effective. It’s probably one of the best ads I’ve ever seen. And it’s coming from Ronald Reagan’s voice. And it’s going to be focused right across the country, but also in Republican-held areas. Because what I feel… The Reagan Republicans are going to be fighting with a MAGA group. And let’s hope Reagan Republicans.
SPEAKER 22 :
Is there that much of a difference, though? No, there isn’t. Why do they keep trying to insist that there’s that much of a difference?
SPEAKER 09 :
They want that internal divide. They want it.
SPEAKER 22 :
I really don’t think a lot of foreign politicians understand what… Now, is there a difference between Republicans and MAGA? I think so. But I think it’s more… candidate focused rather than party focused. And I think that’s fair to say, just like there’s a difference between conservatives and Republicans. Right. Like, for instance, I do not consider myself a Republican. Never have because they are way too left for me. They’re left. They’ve been left for me on guns. They’re left for me on taxes. But I don’t consider myself a libertarian. I just I’m not a joiner. I don’t know. But I vote Republican. I don’t know. We’ll talk more about this because I feel like that death that would seem like a sloppy psyop to divide people. I don’t think it’s I don’t know.

For America, for our unity, no kings.
SPEAKER 22 :
Here’s my song. It’s about no kings. I’m always with him. Whenever I hear Bruce Springsteen play, I’m like, he’s either constipated or he’s having a stroke. It’s never, oh, that’s a song. If you like Bruce Springsteen, I’m sorry that you do. Not that I have this opinion. Oh, my gosh. Welcome back to the program. He said, if you couldn’t understand the Springsteenism, he says, I want to send this out as a prayer for America and our unity. No kings. What king is there? I mean, the fact that you can do this is sort of indicative of there not being a king.
SPEAKER 09 :
Join me on my shows in England.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah, go do it. Yeah. Go play that. Oh, remember, they had to change it. They couldn’t even call it a no kings rally in England. They had to change it to no tyrants so they didn’t upset the monarchy. The same thing every other country that has a monarchy. They had to go, no, we’re going to change it to no tyrants. We didn’t want to upset the actual king. So they’re just admitting that they can say no kings in countries without kings. He’s like the early he’s like the prototype for the Eddie Vedder singers. Can I just sidebar for a moment? How horrible was it in the 90s after like, look, I get a lot of people like Pearl Jam. I don’t dislike Pearl Jam, but I do like I do dislike the Eddie Vedder vocal affectation that so many people try to copy. And then you just had a bunch of an army of derivative male vocalists that all were like me. All of them were like that. Cain, you were in radio. You know. They were all like that for like a period of five years.

SPEAKER 10 :
that’s lifelock.com promo code news for 30 days free terms apply let’s go back to 2020 when he said that the election was stolen from and it wasn’t uh and it was michael flynn that told the president and he repeated it that maybe they should just seize the ballot boxes with the military maybe they should go to where the ballot box and then they should count the votes themselves Here we are in 2025. He is becoming more unpopular. He is likely to lose the 2026 elections. And he’s sending troops into American cities and particularly in blue states, in blue cities.
SPEAKER 22 :
What is he? So wait, JB Pritzker is is accusing POTUS of sending in checks, notes, the military to seize ballot boxes at midterms. Did we? I feel like I saw this before. I’ve seen this movie. I saw this movie during 2021 came. That’s when I saw this movie with the ballot boxes and all that stuff when you had the. Biden administration and everybody else telling everybody, this is telling states how to control their elections and all of that. I mean, basically seizing the, I’m just saying, I feel like we’ve seen this before, Cain. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. We’re at the top of this first hour. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, here’s what I say. I say we count all the ballots, do it just paper-wise. I mean, so Trump can’t cheat.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s right. So Trump can’t cheat. cheat. That’s correct. Let’s just do paper ballots and everybody has to come and show their ID because we got to show our IDs to make sure no one cheats for Trump, right? Make sure you show those IDs because people may cheat for Trump, Democrats, so you better let us have the IDs. What? I can’t find a USB drive with votes on them later. Can’t do none of that. We better make sure that signatures match on mail-ins so that we don’t try to cheat for Trump. If you don’t do that, I’ll totally cheat. We’ll all cheat. So you better make us have voter IDs. Otherwise, we are all going to cheat. I mean, I’m not saying definitively, but we will. You know, just saying. I think that makes sense. I like that idea. We’ll do that. So I voted yesterday. I early voted. I don’t really like to early vote as much as I can. I try to vote the day of.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m doing it today.
SPEAKER 22 :
Only because I’m very combative and I like to walk past all of the leftists and be very theatrical about going and casting my vote against their interests. I’m not kidding you. That’s why I like it. Because that’s when they’re all there. And then you get the news crews there and all that. I love that. So that’s why I usually like to do day of. But there’s a lot of we have our elections coming up local and municipal. And so I early voted yesterday and you early voted yesterday to came today. Sorry, today there was no line. And one of my favorite things ever is how the people that work the polls, they’re volunteers and they’re so excited to see you come vote. And it’s so great. I love it. They’re like, oh, thanks for coming to vote today. And I don’t know why they sound like they’re Minnesotan in my voice. But you know what I mean? They’re very nice. They’re so happy. It’s like they’ve been waiting their whole lives for you to walk through the door and cast your vote. They’re so great. And then when it’s like somebody who’s voting for the first time at our polling place, they make a huge deal of it. Like, oh, we got a first-time voter, first-time voter. And it’s like being at TGI Fridays. Ah! And then you get flair, like first time voter sticker. You know, you get the big sticker. I almost want to lie and say I’m a first time voter so I can get the big sticker. But it’s really but they’re so sweet. Oh, my goodness. There was no line. Walked in, voted and nobody votes. These are the elections that really count. Look, these elections, these local municipal elections, these are the ones where. Later on, you might be determining picking a Senate candidate based on people who came up in this election. This is when you make a vote against the baddies. This is where it really, really counts. And you got to watch. So went and voted. And there’s only like one person standing outside with a sign. I think the rest of it will kick into gear for Election Day. But, yeah, I like going on the day of. So we really need day. I use paper ballots and day of and then, you know, have, you know, military vote with their absentee ballots, things like that. i get i understand it sometimes with college kids and with with um you know having mail-in ballots for them i understand that because not everybody can get back but i think it needs to be very strict very regulated and there need to be a lot of safeguards and more than just like the signature matching and all of this stuff i mean it just you know should be tied to your driver’s license online or something to that effect where you can just go in through the d i don’t know maybe the portal something but anyway Long story short, there was no line at the voting place yesterday. I got my sticker. Got my I voted sticker. Do you save your sticker, Kane?
SPEAKER 09 :
No, I typically don’t.
SPEAKER 22 :
I regret not saving mine like a book at Star.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it’d be nice like the old days when you used to collect stamps and stuff. Yeah. Remember those days.
SPEAKER 22 :
Some of the kids who weren’t there in the early 90s, they don’t understand the bookets. So that was an elementary school thing where you had the Pizza Hut booket program, literally book it. And the person who read the most books got a pizza party. At the end of the semester. Wasn’t it like by… It was a personal pan pizza you’d get from… No, but if you won the most in your grade, you got a pizza parlor.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. See, I never saw that growing up for me. I think my kids got involved in that, but I think I… Oh, I totally did.
SPEAKER 22 :
Already got out of… There is nothing… Some of you out there are like me. You’re… negative uh some people respond to negative or like criticism and that motivates them i don’t even care about it it just rolls off me and um the positive reinforcement though i’m very much like trump in that way like very i am exactly like trump what am i talking i am exactly like trump in that way that’s where it was like we recognized each other positive reinforcement all the way i totally respond to that but if you’re negative i’m like you’re a bot anyway but um My whole point is that the book at program was that optic. You had that optic satisfaction. Every book you read, you got a star on the chart. And I wanted to have the most stars. I am a box checker. I’m the star. And a lot of you out there are like that. You know what I mean? Right. You want the sticker. You want the whatever. Oh, my gosh. When I would get like an A on a paper and my teacher wouldn’t just put like a sticker on it, it would be the scratch and sniff sticker. Cane. The one scent that brings me back to elementary school is the scratch and sniff root beer sticker. And y’all know what I’m talking about. What? There was no scent on earth. that can match that. The scratch and sniff root beer sticker. And when I got that, it was, oh man, I wanted to save it. I ended up, I did get, I got a, I did get a pizza party one year because I had the most books that semester. And then the next semester, I remember I ended up getting the flu and it knocked me out of first place. And I was just, I was livid. And I was really trying to rack it up. But I was like two stars, two books behind. Isn’t that crazy? So I lost at the other one. But I loved that book and program. I even still have the button. I kept that button. I had to wear it one day. I kept the button that I got with it. I literally have it in my jewelry box.
SPEAKER 09 :
But I remember my kids thinking and felt like currency in their hands when they had that little, you got that little coupon for the free pizza because of the book. It’s like money.
SPEAKER 22 :
It’s like the golden ticket from Willy Wonka, man. Got the golden ticket. All right. So a few other things to hit on here. Let me pull up my rundown because I totally lost it. So Graham Platner, by the way, can we just revisit this because there are some updates. You know, he used to be well, not used to be. He said that he became a communist. and he worked with one of these gun groups that arms and works with Antifa. So he had the Nazi tattoo on his chest and he covered it up with a bad dog. Well, then it looked like he had another tattoo on his arm and at first the picture that came out was that it was it said the it was only a partial view of it and it said 1919 and everyone’s like well can we talk about that other nazi tattoo because isn’t that like the numerical thing for ss so and apparently that’s yeah so he um It ended up being like a trail crew thing. But you can’t blame people for questioning the provenance of it, considering the first one was legit a Nazi tattoo. He did this video where he said, oh, I didn’t realize it was. But people that he knew and was friends with, they all assert that he would brag about, this is my Nazi tattoo, or what do they call it? This is my Totenkampf tattoo. and that it was apparently corroborated by other individuals. They said that people who socialized with him when he was living in Washington a decade ago, that he specifically acknowledged that it was a Totenkopf, the death’s head symbol, that the SS adopted. And those were the ones that, that patrolled the, they were, they later patrolled the concentration camps in World War II. And they, they were telling the press like, oh yeah, he would come out and say, this is my Totenkopf. And he would say it in a cutesy little way. Wait, but those are the people that always say we’re the Nazis. So I believe that. Because there were several people that came forward and they were like, no, he knew what it was.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, exactly. He had staff who actually his campaign manager or political director resigned last week over her objection to whatever comments he was putting out on Reddit and then later put out a Facebook post that said Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest and explains all of it.
SPEAKER 22 :
He apparently offered he was trying to pay off his campaign chief. He offered them $15,000 to sign an NDA. I think that was this one. She declined and she was the one who resigned. So he tried paying her off. He offered her $15,000 to sign an NDA. And she wasn’t going to sign the NDA. So they had he had a new campaign manager. They got a new campaign manager this week. And he brought in like an in-house attorney. By the way, he brought in a firm called Spruce Street Consulting, which apparently also has worked with Zoran Mamdani. Interesting. Now, this is separate from all of the social media stuff that he had. Because he would run his mouth on social media all the time. I mean, he promoted super violent stuff on online before on Reddit and elsewhere. There are a lot of screenshots of this stuff. You know, he talked about the way he told it. CNN was that he was just messing around on the Internet. That’s all.
SPEAKER 21 :
But what?
SPEAKER 22 :
I don’t know. Some of the posts he was in the socialist, the socialist subreddit called Socialist RA. It’s the Socialist Redditor Rifle Association. Oh, by the way, they’re different from the Socialist Rifle Association. They’re totally two totally different types of D bags. Right. One is a capital D and D bag and the other is the lowercase D and D bag. And so he said that he agreed – first off, he said that people should be willing – that people should – talking about the workers because he talks about workers’ party and all that. And they should force, I guess, the people that they are submitting them into, quote, abject slavery. He has a bunch of stuff. I’m not even going to read all of it. And some of it I can’t even read on air because of the language. But, I mean – It is. He talked about urinating on the graves of Republican. Well, that was Jones of Republican opponents. And apparently he was supportive of him. There’s a lot of stuff out there that he has said. And regardless of whether he said it in 2018 or now, what it does is it establishes a pattern of behavior. And that’s enough. That should be enough for disqualification. I mean, the guy is there. I mean, this is like what the second dude running for office now on the East Coast that’s completely unhinged. Jay Jones and then Plattner. I mean, this is crazy. We got a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines already in this third hour. Good grief.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 22 :
Sad news. Soft Cell’s Dave Ball, dead at age 66. His bandmate reveals that he’s been ill for a while. It was announced that he died this morning, or actually yesterday evening. His music partner and the other half of the group, Mark Allman, had posted on Facebook that he went peacefully in his sleep. No cause of death was given other than he was dealing with an illness. I mean, we just saw them like a month and a half ago. Soft Cell and Dallas, they were fantastic. So, man. Is that right? That seems especially because people are living like in their 90s now. That seems way. Yeah, it seems like that’s like a baby anymore. That makes like people in their 20s like fetuses. All right. So a teen uses social media to drive business at this pharmacy’s soda fountain. I haven’t seen a soda fountain where they run it old school. When I was a little kid where my family was from in the Ozarks, they had a pharmacy and it was old school and it was on an old timey main street. And I used to go in there as a little kid with my grandma. When she would have to pick up medicine because you get your medicine there. And then they had it was weird. It’s like a CVS, but like with a lunch counter. And I would literally get like a milkshake or like a root beer float or something there. And they had the hats and they did the whole thing. It was very interesting. So apparently, yeah, this dude, he drives all of his business at this pharmacy. It’s in Canada, but or not Canada. Sorry, it’s in Iowa. I totally said that wrong. Don’t send me hate mail. But he’s worked there since he was 12 and he used to deliver medication. And then he took over the soda fountains operations and he drives like he gets tons of business just from social media. Good for him. Look at it. Let’s see. A Kent police dog helps corner a domestic violence suspect after a motorcycle chase. That’s a very good boy. Police, they arrested a man who had assaulted a woman. He tried to escape on a motorcycle, but he was no match for the canine officer Flesher and his police dog Gambit. They tracked him and found him and Gambit quickly apprehended him. So he should get like lots of treats and extra pets. And a lot of people are going to gigs, festivals, and clubs alone. I’ve never done that. Steve, have you ever gone to a concert by yourself? Okay, we got to talk about that. All right, we got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. 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 Pure 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. It can actually cause a host of serious medical issues. But yeah, sure, go ahead. Trust the city with your kid’s health. I mean, what could go wrong? CovPure’s ClearWave technology removes up to 99.9% of contaminants. So don’t wait for the government to help.

SPEAKER 05 :
Two quick construction questions, if I can. You mentioned any construction project comes with changes. The President had initially said that this project wouldn’t interfere with or touch the current structure. Now he says to do this properly, he realized that the East Wing had to be demolished. This is the people’s house. Why not inform the public of that change and when it was decided that the East Wing would have to be demolished?
SPEAKER 20 :
look again with any construction project changes come and we have informed all of you we’ve been keeping you apprised of this project we’ve shown you the renderings if you look at the renderings it’s very clear the east wing was going to be modernized instead in fact i said that in the briefing when we initially introduced this plan to all of you and to the public Well, again, the president, the plans changed when the president heard counsel from the architects and the construction companies who said that in order for this east wing to be modern and beautiful for many, many years to come, for it to be a truly strong and stable structure, this phase one that we’re now in was necessary. And the president wants to do right by the people’s house. And so that’s exactly what he’s doing. It’s going to be, again, like I said, much more stable, strong, secure, and more beautiful than ever once it’s complete.
SPEAKER 05 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 22 :
The list of people, and that was Caroline Leavitt, who was going back and forth. There was an ABC reporter about this. I mean, I do remember they said that there was, in the beginning, that depending on what they found when they got into the initial demolition of the outside, the little car park outside, they were waiting to see whether or not they would have to do more, take down more of the structure than just that. And then apparently when they get in there, when they got in there, considering when the East Wing was built, it was like, what, the 40s? And then they did other renovations in the 50s. They actually, that was like back when they used asbestos. And the… Asbestos for this literally me pull this up because I had this last night. There’s like a whole advocacy group for it in terms of construction they said that The there were there were concerns because it’s over the east wing with it back when it was originally built the in the later editions of it that was apparently at the height of the use of asbestos in construction and that I mean, so that required apparently them to do more because they needed to get you know, they had to do testing asbestos they had. And I’m actually by the way, Lorraine just posted literally what I had in front of me right now because they had a whole abatement that they had. It was EPA, OSHA and also they were working with Clark Construction and AECOM. with worker protection and all of that as a result. And so they had to actually do more to get some of that other material out. And then by the time they got at that point, they said, you know what, why don’t we just reinforce this and use this? And so it ended up being actually easier to do it the way that they’re doing it than not. And we do know a little bit about construction because my husband worked in construction. He rehabbed a city block in downtown St. Louis. It was a major project and built this amazing studio and condo. So we know about construction. I mean, we lived it. And they had a whole they went through this whole exact same thing, too, because there was asbestos in the building when they were rehabbing it and all of that. So I know the process of it. And it’s a it’s a big process. And sometimes when you get to a certain point, you’re like, OK, it’s just better to just go all the way instead of go through this. For the lack of a better way to put it, the whole abatement of this, it’s just easier, right? And so that ultimately, and I remember when they said, they never said that there wasn’t a possibility. They just said that it could happen, but they need to see when they get in there, what they find, and then they’ll go from there. So it’s not like, I just rejected the argument that everybody was kept in the dark about it. The people that are, the other people that are funding it, I mean, it’s the people’s house and we’re getting a free ballroom. So let me just go through the names. Altaria Group, Amazon, Apple, Booz Allen Hamilton, Caterpillar, Coinbase, Comcast, JPEPE. And Amelia Fanul, Hard Rock International, Google, HP, Lockheed Martin, Meta Platforms, Micron Technology, Microsoft, Next Extra Energy, Planeteer Technologies, Ripple, Reynolds American, T-Mobile, Tether America, Union Pacific Railroad, Adelson Family Foundation, Stefani Brody, the Betty… Wold Johnson Foundation, Charles and Marissa Sascarilla, Edward and Sherry Glazer, Harold Hamm, Benjamin Leon Jr., the Lutnick family, the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation, Stephen A. Schwarzman, Konstantin Sokolov, Kelly Leffler and Jeff Sprecher, Paolo Tiramani, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss. They were Facebook guys. Interesting. Those are all the people and entities that have been donating to this. So where is this? Because that was the other accusation, that taxpayer dollars have been going towards this. And the project has been in the works for a long time. So… This is… I mean, New York Post published the list of all of the other donors. Hakeem Jeffries, we played that audio for you yesterday. He said, oh, we’re going to have an investigation. We’re going to get to the bottom of all the people involved in this. For what purpose? For what? Because they… To send them a thank you card for a free ballroom? I was asking a friend of mine that… was in the White House press pool and does all this stuff. This actually is needed because it is true that the East Room cannot, could not, they can’t accommodate more. They can barely accommodate 200 people. Definitely cannot accommodate more than 200. And depending on the event, And, you know, like if you’re like all the stuff that’s going on in there, you may not be able to get 200. So what they used to have to do is and what they still have to do right now is they would have to erect a giant tent on the South Lawn and hold the events in the tent at the South Lawn. And one of my friends was saying, gosh, it was awful when it would rain. And, you know, they didn’t like being a member of the press and having their like minded and having to cover this. If it’s like cold, if it’s rainy, it’s just, you know, it’s not the most ideal situation. So when they had a state dinner, when the last state dinner that they. So when they had a huge state dinner, I think this was like maybe back in. When was this? When they had the president and first lady of Kenya, they had to go outside. They had to have their event outside. So imagine you have to put a tent on the lawn and everybody goes outside to eat. And yeah, you can have space heaters and all of that, but is it the most comfortable? Is it the best? So, and they’ve been doing, I mean, this has been happening for a while. There’s a lot of drawbacks, especially when there’s an issue with the weather. They have issues with bathroom facilities because you’ve got to make shift stuff when you have a tent on the lawn This is actually something I do agree with. And I’m very particular about taxpayer dollars. This isn’t even taxpayer dollars. It’s all privately funded. See, the other stuff that other previous presidents added, I would say maybe with the exception of the creation of the East Wing originally, Everything else has been for presidential use. The Clintons added a music room that other presidents have added bowling alleys and pools. Gerald Ford added a pool. He wanted an outdoor pool, not just a lap pool, but a pool that he could swim in. You had Obama put in a basketball court. You had others put in tennis courts, all kinds of stuff. I mean, a lot of the stuff that they put in previously was stuff for their own personal use. This is something that’s actually going to be used functionally for the White House. Because it can be a mess. And my friend was saying, because my friend has had to cover these events before, and my friend was saying that it’s kind of a mess, especially if it’s raining, when you have inclement weather, and… It also kind of some people have said that it people think that they’re going to a state dinner at the White House. And then they realize they’re not even going into the White House. They’re going to a tent outside. And it is very expensive to get the kitchen stuff out there and set up the kitchen outside. And then they have to redo and basically put down turf every time they do one of these events. Also, where does where’s Marine One land? Because Marine One always lands on South Lawn. So what happens when you got a big event and it’s out there on the South Lawn and you got to help? You can’t. That’s where Marine One lands. So and when the tent is up, Marine One can’t land. And the state dining room, if you look at going inside of the state dining room, that may be, I think they said it was like 120, 130 guests. State dinners, when you have leaders that come in there, that’s a lot more than that. And they actually were, they made space, they were trying to make space even during Reagan’s era in that East Wing. And the East Wing is a lot of unused offices and a lot of space that’s actually not even entirely useful. So the bathroom situation, that’s a whole other thing. And they can make it look really pretty out there. But you’re outside in a tent and everybody knows it. And you have to walk outside to get into the tent. And they put the carpet down and all that stuff. But you guys know, ladies, you know how it is. It’s not the best. You got wind, breeze, humidity, everything else out there. all these people go to this event to look nice for it and and then they go out there and you’re out there in the humidity you’re out there in the weather the the bathroom situation is abysmal it’s a mess no matter how you do it so i actually think that this is a good move to so that way you can actually have a proper state dinner and the white house can hold these events And a lot of the other rooms in the White House, I mean, they’re at capacity as it is and always have been originally. So why are people, why is this such a huge issue? It’s privately funded. Everybody who’s donated to it has been made public. You know how much has been donated. The president has also donated his own money. It is something that is going to be utilized pretty heavily for all events at the White House. So they don’t have to move out antiques and historical artifacts from other rooms to accommodate people when they’re trying to get as many people in to these other rooms for state events. So I have zero issue with this. I don’t see one negative, Cain. I do not see a single drawback from any of this. No. I don’t know. Yeah, my friend, who, by the way, can be very antagonistic towards government spending and even private donations because she always thinks they’re trying to buy favor, which is true, was like, this has been so needed for so long that it is actually one of the best things. Forget about the Rose Garden. This is the thing that’s needed. So I get that. I get that. And he also put up the flagpole, too. But this is going to be used by future administrations for years. It is so needed, so needed. We have more on the way. We’ve got Florida Man coming up. I always believe in caring. I have no problem throwing lead downrange towards anybody that poses a threat to me or my safety, my family’s safety, etc. To that end, though, I also realize you’ve got to diversify your weapons array. One of the ways you can do that is with a Berna gun. This is, I think, especially for those college students that are under the age of 21, they can go overseas and carry full auto in defense of their country, but they can’t carry it in defense of themselves over here while they’re living alone going to college. It’s asinine, but here we are. So this is where I would suggest a Berna SD or their newer one, compact launcher. Burna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And unlike ordinary stun guns, this thing has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge, whereas stun guns have like maybe one or two rounds. It is super compact, there’s no recoil, easy target acquisition. and you have a lot of options because it’s legal in all 50 states. There’s no background checks. There’s no permits. They send it right to your front door, so it’s accessible for everyone. Always give yourself a chance. You carry different calibers. You carry blades. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t diversify when you are restricted municipally or with private property restrictions. It’s byrna.com slash Dana. It’s the Byrna, C-L, byrna.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 09 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 22 :
I like the people who hide their drugs in bags that say no drugs. And then whenever they’re stopped and they get searched, they say, no, there’s no drugs in here. Look, it’s a bag that says no drugs. This guy tried this with his house. So a man with a no drugs allowed sign on his house was charged with trafficking. Highlands County Sheriff’s Office said they arrested John Moss, 76 years old. Cain hates old people. Hear him? He says old people aren’t innocent over there. Hear him? They said that there was literally a placard, not just like a handwritten sign, like a professionally done sign that said, quote, absolutely no drugs allowed on the premises. They served a search warrant on the home. Oh, man, this guy was trafficking Oxycontin stuff. I can’t pronounce morphine meth. He had a lot of meth, all kinds of stuff. So he was a baddie. But he’s on he’s in jail, multiple counts of drug trafficking and no bond. That’s. Did he put that sign up? Do you think with the purpose of the cops showing up with a warrant going, oh, wait, the sign says no drugs allowed. We can’t, you know, there’s no drugs here. Might as well go home, guys. Yeah, might as well go home. It’s all done, guys. We don’t have to worry anymore. It’s all done. I’m just, you know, wondering. All right. Also, a Florida, a woman mistakes a Florida man for her Uber and he kidnaps her. You got to be careful, man. Uber drivers, they they like 30 million trips per day worldwide. Usually there isn’t an issue. But this Florida woman mistook a silver SUV for an Uber. She got into the vehicle. And then when she realized she was in the wrong car, the driver would not let her out. And now the sheriff’s office down there is looking for a man in his 30s in connection with her attempted kidnapping. Kissimmee, Florida. And she misidentified the man. She thought the silver SUV was her Uber. And the driver was sitting there smoking dope at the time, offered her a ride. She got in and they went. And then he wouldn’t let her out. He began making lewd and inappropriate comments. She demanded that he let her out. He would not. She began panicking, screaming and tried to get out of the car to escape. He sped up. So she tried to open the door. He sped up, which threw her off balance and she fell out of the car while it was moving. She was able to take a picture of the SUV and send the picture and describe the man to the police. But wow. I mean, always check those license plates, y’all. Always check them and then ask your driver’s name. Don’t ask if you’re an Uber. Don’t ask them if they’re an Uber. Ask them for the name of the driver. Like, are you, you know, whatever? Are you Stan? Are you Joe? Are you?
SPEAKER 09 :
If someone gets in my car accidentally, I’m not going to try and kidnap them. I’m going to tell them to get the hell out. I don’t know what this guy was doing.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, he’s not. Also, like, who sits there and idles and your door’s unlocked? I don’t ever do that. I have got, I mean, my doors is locked. I don’t unlock them until the person has their handle on the door. I just, I don’t know. It’s crazy. Let’s see. Last but not least, a Florida man was arrested after toddlers were pictured with guns, beer, and dope. Yeah. Taylor Canoop or Noop. I don’t know. Florida was arrested because apparently he there were he was charged with child neglect. The children were placed with relatives. He’s the dad. And he apparently had all these photographs of his babies, like actual like two year olds and like nine month olds with guns and beer and drugs. Wow. He got way, way in trouble with that.

SPEAKER 11 :
They’re doing everything by the book. Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of all the big cities?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, we are not in the top 30 in terms of our murder rate. Our murder rate has been cut in half over the last four years, and every year it’s gone down by double digits. And if you look at all of the violent crime over the last four years, they’ve all gone down.
SPEAKER 11 :
Here’s a map. Most populous U.S. cities, 17.47 per 100,000 population. Chicago is number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego.
SPEAKER 10 :
What I’m explaining to you is when you want to fight crime, look, you can pull statistics up. No, no, these are murders. I’m explaining to you that our murder rate has been cut in half. And very importantly, Brett, and you’ve got to hear this, very importantly, we’ve been doing the things that are necessary to bring crime down, right? We’ve invested in community violence interruption. We’ve invested in police.
SPEAKER 22 :
No, they haven’t, actually. In fact, the clearance for these cases have dropped dramatically as well. Meaning, you know, going after prosecuting, solving felonious felony crimes, etc. That’s J.B. Pritzker, who is on with Brett Baier. And it’s hysterical because J.B. Pritzker is going, well, yeah, like we we cut crime. We don’t nothing’s wrong anymore. And Brett Baier is like, yeah, well, here are the receipts and you’re number one. in terms of homicide, your tops. And Pritzker’s like, well, that’s just a lie. We don’t care about your receipts. It’s a lie. We cut it in half. It’s cut in half, but you’re still number one. You cut it in half, but you’re still number one. Imagine if you hadn’t reduced anything, right? It’s insane. These people are insane. But this is, that was his excuse. I think he’s very far removed from the reality that happens on his streets every single day. Every single day. But I actually, I mean, they’re cut in half and still number one. Why is the murder rate the highest of all time? We’re not in the top 30. Yeah, but here’s the map. And then here is all of the crime data as it’s tabulated by your actual law enforcement agencies. And he’s like, you can put up all the statistics you want. We’ve cut our murder rate in half. You’re still number one, Lunchbox. You’re number one. You cut it in half, you claim, and you’re still number one? Jeez. I would not have gone past that. Don’t get mad at Bret Baier because he did. You have to realize that, especially with some producers and, you know, some of the bigwigs with network news, they don’t want you to stay on that topic forever because they don’t think it’s good television. They want you to get past it. It’s like when, you know, fighters are kind of like hugging it out when they’re resting in the ring. It’s like sort of that’s how they view it. So I get I get it. But I wouldn’t let him go. I would have just stayed on him. Like, wait, we can’t go. I mean, they’re they’re still number one. They are number one in terms of murder rate, murder and shootings, murder, shootings, all crime, violent crime, whatever. They’re number one. I and they. I even with now, I will say they do have a reduction. They had a reduction with some violent crime. Do you know how they had a reduction with violent crime? You just it’s crazy. But if you don’t report it, then it’s wild. It goes away. Is that wild? If you if you if a crime happens and you don’t report it, did the crime happen? That’s their whole MO. That’s their whole thing with us. So they’ve done that in California. I mean, they’ve had since when Pritzker became governor in the city of Chicago. I mean, since 2019, you’ve had over 4000 people shot and killed. It’s all like gang activity, drugs and gangs, drugs and gangs. Drugs and gangs. Now, a lot of people say St. Louis. Oh, well, St. Louis is actually. Well, hold up. Hold up. That’s our hometown. I take exception to that. Yes, St. Louis has a butt-ton of crime. That’s an actual quantifiable measurement, by the way. It has a ton of crime. But the reason that St. Louis City ranks number one is because St. Louis City is not incorporated into the county. That’s why. So they look at number of crimes per person adjusted to the population, and so it looks incredibly high. Now, it’s very high. It’s definitely in the top five. But it’s not number one because the only saving grace is it’s not incorporated. It’s very weird how the city and the county are set up. The city has its own government, its own everything. The county has its own government, its own everything. It’s very odd. It’s difficult to explain that to people who don’t get it.
SPEAKER 09 :
The downtown numbers, as far as people living downtown St. Louis, have dropped dramatically thanks to Democrat policies, unfortunately. And so as a result, the percentages are larger. That’s the reason.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah, that’s it. That’s why. But Chicago, number one murder rate. And when he was saying that it was dropped in half, I mean, it’s not actually dropped in half. He only reduced it. I mean, I would think, like doing the math, I think it’s like barely 11%. He’s like, oh, we cut it in half. He’s trying to imply that he cut homicide by 50%. He didn’t. And then he’s trying to act like it’s part of the decrease is because better policing. They’ve actually… have have hindered policing efforts and they declassified a lot of crimes and they just don’t report things. Their their clearance for these felonies is like abysmal. I mean, it’s not Detroit’s, which is at 50, 15 percent, but it’s like in the 20 something percent. And this idea that that is some big win for him. Can you imagine? No, you’re still number one in murder. Yeah, but we cut it in half, so what up? You’re number one in murder. That’s not a… You need to get past you being number one right now. You’re number one in murder. Oh my gosh. It’s still pretty bad. I… I don’t know. I mean, what is it, like 17, isn’t it? I was looking at the rate. This is per 100,000. Isn’t it like 17, something like that? Yeah. Over 17. Over 17. Oh, yeah, it is. Over 17, I’m looking at. Really bad, guys.
SPEAKER 09 :
In the latest budget, they’ve actually asked the Chicago Police Department to come up with 98 million in cuts.
SPEAKER 22 :
Because they’re spending so much on their policing efforts, Kane. Yeah. They’re spending so much on their policing. And that is a true story. They wanted a $98 million. They’re having a city budget crisis in Chicago. How is that possible? I’m just so confused. How is that possible that they would have that? I mean, everything’s doing great if you listen to J.B. Pritzker. It’s kittens in sunshine up there. Everything’s so good. They have all this time on their hands to go after ICE. Now, the Chicago police superintendent, Larry Snelling, was saying, guys, public safety is going to be greatly impacted if you cut $98 million out of our budget. Because they have budget deficit. They keep they keep spending or sorry, 92 million. They keep spending like crazy. They’ve they’ve spent on entitlements and on illegal aliens. And then they spend it on busing people up to go and fight with ICE. Speaking of which, this is a cut. I’m looking at what cut this is because they had a fight with ICE in Chicago. They keep having these situations where you have the ICE agents. It’s not a cut. I think it is cut nine. We have a million cuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is a security guard. There’s a news crew that is, and this is actually in California, but there was video that we had just the other day of them, again, attacking a facility in Chicago. This is in California, which is just like, I mean, Los Angeles is the same as Chicago. They were attacked during an anti-ICE protest. Watch.
SPEAKER 07 :
You have to ask me where I was going and stepping in front of me. Do you identify yourself as a Trump supporter or supporting ICE? I support neither. Okay, that makes no sense to me, I’m sorry man. I appreciate that. Do you need us to call somebody? You should report this. Yeah.
SPEAKER 22 :
He got bunched in the face and battered. And he’s a security guard who was just there with a news crew. He was hired to work to accompany a news crew. And he was attacked by the protesters at an anti-ice protest in California. So, I mean, I don’t know. I get why we’re having all these. This is the reason why we’re sending National Guard in is to protect these facilities and protect these agents. And that’s the way it is. Man. So, you know, the debate that I have to do, I have to do a Second Amendment debate where I’m going to be debating Alan Dershowitz in Chicago of all cities on gun control. Actually, the question is, and I’m not going to give anything away. It’s about the Second Amendment and safety, which I think is kind of a leading issue. premise already. But that’s we’ll have more at the time. We’ll have more later. But Chicago is interesting because Chicago is also one of those cities that’s fought against Glock. And we talked a little bit about that because they’re discontinuing these models and they’re switching. They’re basically let me put it in layman’s terms. The courts are bullying a company to alter their product because the criminals that they will not arrest won’t stop doing illegal things with them and to them. I think that makes sense. That’s it. That’s it. That’s the explanation. In California, AB 1127, there’s a ban, the Glock sales ban. That’s going to, I mean, that’s about to become law. They passed that. in 2022 after they had the shooting that was in Sacramento. And remember the individual that was behind that, this was a guy who had been in prison and he was let out six years early because they had passed Prop 57. Again, this is all restorative justice nonsense. So they let this criminal out six years early. And of course that criminal who was already ineligible by way of his previous convicted felonious activity Got a Glock and you can’t modify. You can’t put these switches in it. That’s already there’s already federal law that bars that. And so he illegally against existing federal law and against existing state law in California modified it, modified something that he was already ineligible to possess. And then he went on a shooting spree, a gang shooting spree to kill a bunch of his rivals. And now. all the people in California, law-abiding gun owners who own Glocks, are going to be banned from purchasing them because the California justice system failed the innocents. California let this guy out six years early after they already had given him a very light sentence. And then what does he do? He immediately goes and previously goes and continues to commit more felonious activity. I’m going to tell you, the people who are going to murder are not going to be deterred from a low-level gun law. They don’t care. They don’t care. And a lot of them, they get them tossed anyway. Now, Gavin Newsom, because this legislature, he could veto it, but the legislature, I don’t think, has overridden a veto since like in the 80s, early 80s. So we got some issues here. That’s ultimately why that happened in California and Chicago. It’s not any different. It’s the same situation in Chicago because they were there were suing Glock for the same reason. You have people who are ineligible to carry a an inanimate object. And then they illegally modify because illegally because it’s already against federal law, the inanimate object. And then they use it in more felonious in the commission, more felonies. And then the law abiding gun owners are the ones who get punished. That’s the story of the Glock thing. That’s the Glock. So that’s the story of it. Just asinine. We have more on the way as we roll towards the. Bottom of this hour. And then Carol Roth will be joining us later as we move.

SPEAKER 22 :
So a doc was a… I do not want to… Oh, my gosh. Okay. If you guys had to get… Not saying that you would, but if you had to get private part surgery, would you go to visit a doc who did it from the back of his 1990 Toyota Corolla?
SPEAKER 09 :
What? No.
SPEAKER 22 :
Just… Are you sure? I mean, I get that people have done weird stuff with butt injections. I don’t know. So this doctor was arrested. He was performing illegal male copulatory organ operations literally out of his 1990 Toyota Corolla. Yeah. His name is Pitaya Moolen. He’s the shady surgeon there. It’s an on the go genital enhancement surgery. That’s what he’s doing. And it was in Bangkok. And there’s video of him legit doing it in Bangkok. And it was in a beaten up, I mean, 1990 Toyota Corolla. And then sometimes the customers would report him to the police. I guess they were unhappy. But he, Pearl, I don’t even know what Pearl Implantation is. I am not Googling that. And apparently, I mean, they were literally going under the knife in his gray sedan parked on the side of a road. What? Yeah. Yeah. And he did not, guys, he didn’t even sterilize anything. Oh my gosh. He goes, I’ve been doing this for about a year. I don’t know what a pearl implant is, but he charges for it. Circumcisions and then the enlargement. Injections. Oh my gosh. It’s like filler for your willer. I don’t even know.
SPEAKER 12 :
The erection.
SPEAKER 22 :
Oh my gosh, okay. I don’t even understand what this is. Rectal oxygen delivery. They’re trying to make butt breathing a thing. I swear to you guys, this is, it’s a Nobel research, Nobel Prize research. Because many animals breathe through their backside or are capable of it. I don’t know. This seems so stupid. What a weird collection of headlines. Sea cucumbers apparently do great. That’s great. That doesn’t mean I want to because a sea cucumber does. I’m not even going anywhere. There’s like drawings. I’m not. I’m not. I cannot do that. I cannot do this headline. I feel like Casey Kasem. I can’t go to a dead dog out of an uptempo song. I can’t go talk to Carol Roth about math and talk about this. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 12 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not-so-serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 25 :
So I think at this point, we should all be all in on what’s happening. I mean, we had four years of a lot of mischief and sluggish economy and everything else and a lot of fake money. So we have to deal with a little bit of pain to have some gain, right? And I think we’re going to have to just do that. I think this shrimp regard was interesting to me. I loved hearing that because our industry is the same. We have the lowest beef herd that we’ve had since 1950. And that is because so many people have gotten out of the industry over the years. And if we would have had this fair trade and our marketing would have been better when we could have exported more of our beef, I don’t think we would have lost all these farmers and ranchers. And that’s going to take some time to rebuild.
SPEAKER 22 :
And this is something that POTUS talked about. He had put out, I guess it was a tweet, well, it was reposted on X from his Truth Social account where he was getting into the ranchers. And he wanted a little, he wanted some more credit for what he’s been doing to help the ranching industry. But this gets into this currency swap with Argentina. And Kane and I have been talking about this at length already. on break all throughout this week. Because my perspective, and again, I’m not an economist. This is why we’re bringing on experts like my next guest that we’re going to get into. Because I’m immediately looking at a currency swap and I’m thinking, is this a loan? Heaven forbid, is this a bailout to Libertarian Malai? What? And I know you’re already looking. Stop with the… Stop it. I’m asking the questions.
SPEAKER 09 :
Just smiling. That’s all. I know.
SPEAKER 22 :
So we’re like, you know, we need to bring on to explain all of this to us. Like we’re three. Carol Roth, who’s like way smarter than at this than all of us. And she’s got great hair to boot on top of it. And you guys know our very good friend, Carol. She’s absolutely lovely. And she is a recovering. investment banker, entrepreneur, TV pun, New York Times bestselling author. And make sure you check out her newsletter at carolroth.com slash news. Carol, it is so good to see you. I’m sure you’re about ready to pull your hair out at all of the questions like the ones that I just asked, because I know what I know and I know what I don’t. And I know it’s not exactly a bailout, but it really seems like one. So clarify this for us. What are we doing? What is this currency swap with Argentina?
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, first of all, if you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be in the media explaining currency swaps with Argentina, I’d go, there’s no way. But this is where we are today, Dana, so I will do my best. A currency swap is something that happens on a pretty regular basis. It’s when we want to affect change maybe somebody’s currency is struggling we’re trying to create a situation where we don’t have a global financial crisis typically central banks will have this swap line available where they trade currencies and then trade them back at some you know fixed price in the future um this is a little bit different with what’s going on in argentina because we’re not doing it through our central bank the federal reserve we’re doing it through the treasury through something called the esf the exchange stabilization fund and we’re not doing it with a com a country that’s more stable that we usually do it with we’re doing with it with a country that you know has some some some bigger issues with their their financial footing Now, there is a political reason, but that political reason has a real reason behind it. So if you’re hearing some of the other media, you’re saying, OK, there’s a big election that’s coming up in a few days in Argentina, and we’re doing this to support Millet’s government. And in a sense, that is very true. but we’re not doing it because we love Millet’s hair, although we do, we’re a big fan of big hair or to be nice. We’re doing it to protect our interests. So this is not about Millet so much. It’s not about Argentina. This is about China. bottom line this is about china and it is about the fact that argentina holds a ton of resources including lithium they’re one of the top lithium deposits in the entire world as well as some rare earth elements that we need to produce things like products for our defense and and the like and these are things that china is trying to move in on And so what we’re doing is we’re trying to get China out of Argentina, frankly, out of Latin America in a broader sense, shore up access to these very important elements and commodities that we need access to. And so the price of doing it is doing this currency swap. which, again, Treasury is doing. They’re not they don’t have to get Congress’s approval. They don’t need to get Jay Powell on board. And this is something that they do from time to time where they go rogue. And Scott Bassett goes, I’m smarter than you guys. We have to do this for the broader agenda.
SPEAKER 22 :
That is a great explainer. And she did it in like three minutes, not even three minutes. That’s why Carol Roth is the best. If you guys are just joining us because that because we’re I was looking at all this. I’m like there because I know Trump was looking at Biden. bringing in additional beef imports and it’s all about, you know, ranching and beef and little lost in this is the toll hold that China has been trying to get, not just in Argentina, but also, you know, South America, Central America. And they are, you’re right, loaded with those resources. So they can’t be too happy about this.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, so basically China’s had something called the Belt and Road Initiative, and they have deployed their capital to other countries. They have made loans. They have made investments because they want to have access to regular infrastructure. They want to have access to digital infrastructure, and they want to have every country in the world beholden to them because they saw what was happening in the United States, and they decided to make a move knowing that our financial situation uh foundation was quite broken and they’ve been doing that you know in their own neighborhood and now they’re coming over our hemisphere uh and they’ve been doing that for a while and it is really um at the point in time where where we have smart people who are going this is a national security risk this threatens our economy this threatens our ability to defend ourselves So think of this, whether it’s importing the beef from Argentina, it really has nothing to do with the fact that there’s a shortage. It has everything to do with sweetening this deal so that Argentina will get on board from blocking China from making a bigger move, a bigger investment in that country and having that toehold. So this is our own version of doing a little bit of this belt and road. And I think as the global financial order starts to shift, we may see it where China basically dominates its hemisphere and that we try to have that toehold in our hemisphere. And I think that’s one of the things that the Trump administration, very wisely, by the way, and you know that I’m not a fan of every one of their policies, but very wisely in this case, is doing and setting us up for the future. And hopefully, because we go in four-year cycles here, Four years from now, we will have an administration that continues with this policy because this is a long term threat to our country. And we do need to shore this up. So that’s what it’s all about. There’s a lot of noise about it. It’s not about beef. It’s not about, you know, a bailout. It’s not about anything else. It’s about securing America’s future by having these strong allies, having access to resources and not letting China take over the world. So if you don’t want to speak Mandarin in the future, this is a good thing.
SPEAKER 22 :
I love that explanation. First off, bravo to Carol Roth. This is why she does what she does. That’s, you know, our hats off. Because then that makes sense with this other stuff that I was seeing. All of, like, the swarm of these headlines that have been going after him. Oh, he’s got to bail out. He’s got to bail out from IMF. This is just basically debt. But it’s not… Unless it turns active, from what I understand, the whole policy. But they’re really trying to go at him because he’s such an ally of the U.S. Now that makes sense when I see the swarm of these headlines that are attacking him and calling him a fake libertarian.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, and you also have to, again, go back to the fact that this is being done kind of off of the traditional books. This is this ESF, Exchange Stabilization Fund, that is used. And it’s been used throughout history when we had the Plaza Accord, where we needed to strengthen the Japanese yen and weaken the dollar. That is what was used with this particular fund when we had to bail out Southeast Asia a couple of decades ago. because it doesn’t require congressional approval. It doesn’t require the Fed to get on board. It’s something the Treasury can take to enact policy that is deeper, that is more long-term, that deals with these kinds of things. So if we have a situation where Millet’s government is weakened And he you know, there’s no longer this allyship with the United States and you get more people who want to go deeper with China. Again, that’s going to be really bad for us. So, you know, is this in effect trying to help sway that election? Absolutely. But it’s because of this long term relationship that we want to strike. And it’s because we’re trying to protect our own national security.
SPEAKER 22 :
It’s asymmetrical warfare in the financial sector. That’s really what it is.
SPEAKER 21 :
I mean, that’s that’s that’s such a great that’s such a nice little wrapper that you’ve created there.
SPEAKER 22 :
It’s only because you set it up, Carol. So you just set it up and I just I just hit the ball. That’s it. So this now is Congress going to take this might be a dumb question. Because we’re talking about Congress. Are they going to take the opportunity to say, oh, well, now that we’re doing these, maybe we can reduce some of these regulations and some of this oversight that we have that drive up the cost of farming and ranching domestically? I mean, it would be great if they could do that.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, that’s a great thing. So if we kind of take this other piece aside and we talk about the issues that are affecting our ranchers and the other people or farmers, people who are producing our food, there are so many insane barriers and regulations that make it more costly and more difficult for them to do business. And if you want them to not only be able to feed everybody in America, but maybe do more exporting to the world, the easiest way to do that is to reduce these regulations. I mean, there are so many things that I hear, you know, people want to buy something from their cousin’s farm in a different state and they can’t because of some, you know, silly law. That is the way, you know, forget about the tariffs and the imports and whatnot. We can deal with this issue at home and just make it easier to do business, which again, makes all of the sense in the world. Now, do I have a lot of faith that Congress is going to go Yeah, that makes sense. We should definitely do things so that we can continue to grow our economy and shore up our food supply. They’ve never proven that they have any level of common sense to do that. But everybody that is listening has a voice and has the ability to call their congressmen, their representatives. and to tell them that these kinds of things are important. And if you get like 20 people to all call the same day, they think it’s a hair on fire problem because nobody actually calls them about anything. And all of a sudden they get 20 calls, this becomes an issue. So we need, again, to put pressure. We have so many protests in this country about absolute nonsense, but the things that are important Things like supporting the people who feed us and reducing barriers and letting small businesses get back to work. You know, this is how we continue to have growth in this country. This is how we continue to have prosperity. It makes all the sense in the world. It’s an easy thing to do. We just need the political will. And that starts with our own voices.
SPEAKER 22 :

But that one can because she has balls. That’s why. Like, let me just hit this ball. That’s what it is. That’s what just happened. Now you have two California high school girls that are sitting out of their volleyball game, cut 34, due to a dude being on their team. Watch. They’re not playing. They’re sitting there. They don’t want to play against the dude. They don’t want to play against a dude. Because there’s a dude out there. I wouldn’t want to get hit in the head by that dude. Would you?
SPEAKER 09 :
As a woman, no.
SPEAKER 22 :
I mean, he’s like their height in the air. Because he’s a man. That’s why having a man on women’s sports teams is so… insane i we’re going to look back hopefully on this point in our culture and be like the hell was happening i’d do that now well yeah but i mean maybe some of the people in the future that supported us are going to look back and go what in the world like what were we doing
SPEAKER 09 :
I’ve seen the point online, which is hilarious, where it’s like, oh, you just want to put trans athletes in. I’m going to bet on the trans athlete boxer. Oh, I didn’t even think about that. You know what I mean? Like, you could totally just win. You know what? Hold up, hold up.
SPEAKER 22 :
I take everything back. No, shh. I take everything back. No, I like this now.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, the FBI’s all over this gambling stuff now. No, shh.
SPEAKER 22 :
No, it’s, oh, they said it’s totally, hey, Steve, that’s legit now. If the dude is going to be, say, in a boxing match against a chick and you’re betting, it’s not illegal to make a bet.
SPEAKER 24 :
True. There’s no trans athletes in professional sports for a reason right now.
SPEAKER 22 :
I mean, just saying. We’re horrible. It’s like having, like, I mean, women can’t compete at the same level in men’s league, so it’s like you would have to get, like, a literal Sasquatch to go then and play in the men’s league, you know? Like an actual Bigfoot. Just shave it and then put it on the men’s team. You know, he can’t really verbalize beyond some chirping and howling, but it’s a dude. It’s like, I think we just found a way to make a lot of money gambling. No, I’m all for this now. I’m going to start gambling and sports. I will bet on the men against the women in the sports leagues. I think that’s a good bet to take. I’d take that bet. Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, imagine all the Olympic sports.
SPEAKER 22 :
I don’t need no special glasses. By the way, following the NBA. betting story is exhausting. All of the things these people did to cheat at gambling, I have never wanted to win anything so bad that I would go through that extent. They have special glasses to see the cards. Special glasses. It’s like James Bond. Look at this. You can see everything. It’s like James Bond. This is insane. You can see all of it. They got it all marked. So you’d wear them. No one. Wait, if you’re sitting at a poker table and you’re wearing sunglasses, no one else is going to go.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, I mean, that’s kind of a common thing. Well, you’re playing poker. You don’t want people to see your eyes and you don’t want to give those tells that normal people give.
SPEAKER 22 :
I got to do is just hold those emotions. I could just sit there and stare. Wouldn’t have no idea. What do I have?
SPEAKER 1 :
Nothing.
SPEAKER 22 :
I have a horrible hand. All right. Today in stupidity came.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, Juan, this is Cut 11. This is actress Jennifer Welch. Not making much sense here. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 23 :

SPEAKER 08 :
Keep going. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 23 :
Anti-Semites. True white supremacists like Stephen Miller. And even though he’s Jewish, he’s like a Nazi Jew.
