liberty nation with mark angelides joe biden weighs his responsibility for the 2024 loss donald trump takes charge in tariffs but has he already left it too late find out on liberty nation radio author columnist managing editor of liberty nation.com podcast host and conservative policy advocate we dismiss history at our peril liberty nation with mark angelides
SPEAKER 02 :
He knew exactly what that meant. The child knows what that meant. If you’re the FBI director and you don’t know what that meant, that meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear. Now, he wasn’t very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant. And he did it for a reason. And he was hit so hard because people like me and they like what’s happening with our country. Our country has become respected again and all this. And he’s calling for the assassination of the president. Obviously, he apologized and said he wasn’t calling for violence. What do you want to see happen?
SPEAKER 29 :
What do you want to see happen?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t want to take a position on it because that’s going to be up to Pam and all of the great people. But I will say this. I think it’s a terrible thing. And when you add his history to that, if he had a clean history, he doesn’t. He’s a dirty cop. He’s a dirty cop. And if he had a clean history, I could understand if there was a leniency. But I’m going to let them make that decision.
SPEAKER 13 :
So that’s something we’re going to dive into later in the radio program, talking about this 86 thing that was yesterday. And I’m so tired of the arguments that I’m hearing from people who are defending it, saying, well, you know, he wasn’t saying 86. Cain, let me ask you a question before we get going. Sure. What does 86 mean?
SPEAKER 21 :
It means to nix, to kill, to end.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. It doesn’t mean to just reject or take off the menu. Nope. I worked in a restaurant for years throughout college, and one of the things that was absolutely certain was what that meant. That meant for whatever reason, you have to kill something being on the menu. It means that you either don’t have enough of the ingredient, they either don’t have enough of the entire menu item, whatever it is, And then they they they kill it from the menu. That is what that means. And the audacity of these people trying to lecture everybody about it is insane. You know, we’re going by the Dems rules. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour on Friday. And we’ve got a lot to cover here as we roll towards. We got the latest with some of the stuff in the house, like the reconciliation bill, etc., Oh, by the way, and then we’ve got Democrats and impeachment. Audio soundbite five. The guy, not the good Al Green, the bad Al Green. He’s the bad Al Green. He did, well, he just filed more articles of impeachment. Yay, look at him. He did that. So he, audio soundbite, yeah, five it is. Sorry.
SPEAKER 23 :
Bringing to the attention of everyone, the countdown. to impeachment. The countdown.
SPEAKER 13 :
The countdown begins tonight. So this is what Democrats are doing in the House. They’re filing articles of impeachment. And I’m going to tell you, I know I’m a broken record, but I said that I was going to say this literally every day forever, that if Democrats, or if Republicans rather, if they can’t get it together, if they can’t get it together, and they can’t make something They can’t make this permanent. They can’t make tax cuts permanent. They can’t do any of this. Then you’re going to get nonstop impeachment. That’s what you’re going to get is nonstop impeachment 24-7. So this I mean, because who was the other guy you had? You had Al Green and then you had that other cat who didn’t even know all the cities or all the towns in his district. Yeah, he didn’t even know all the towns in his district. That guy, that guy. So this I mean, this whole thing. Is what we’re going to have to be dealing with this. We’re going to have to be dealing with this for four years, for four years. So, you know, so we’ve that’s what Democrats have been doing when they’re not. rocking on the beach and writing like some dippy influencer words in the sand. That’s what Democrats are doing. Now, in addition to all of that, one of the things we’re going to be talking about coming up later in the program is the situation with regards to India. Because I, as you know, I, like anybody that’s a geopolitical foe of China, and we’ve talked about this quite a bit with Stephen Yates, and he is… And he’s going to be he’s talked about every Monday he comes on the show and he’s talked with us about this. We’re going to kind of dive into it and kind of and also sort of what that means for the overall for foreign for foreign policy in the United States as it relates to India, as it relates to Afghanistan, as it relates to Pakistan, because now it looks like India and Pakistan are kind of like, you know, tying up. So we’re going to deep dive into all of that. Also, Trump declared that Taylor Swift was no longer hot. I mean, he’s not wrong.
SPEAKER 21 :
No.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, he’s not wrong. He out of nowhere this morning. Nobody, nobody said anything out of nowhere. Trump tweets. Has anybody noticed since I said I hate Taylor Swift that she’s no longer hot? old is she hang on your cane’s dying go ahead go ahead what’s what go ahead my friend i’m just thoroughly amused by it all it’s just he doesn’t care he he doesn’t care he well he was going he was talking about her and um bruce springsteen i literally almost forgot his name and he tweeted that so she’s 35 she’s 35 years old she’s 35 years old you’re middle-aged yeah if you’re in your she’s middle-aged she’s middle-aged woman and the only reason i say this is because she sings songs like she’s still a high school teeny boppers the best way i can put it i think right i think you would agree with that right i think it’s accurate didn’t she she started out as like country country right yes And then she moved to pop country. I’ve never dug her music. I’m just not into pop. And I mean like poppy pop. Not like pop isn’t popular music, but like poppy pop. You know what I mean? So he tweeted that out of nowhere. So you have to ask, this was at… Because he’s over… Hang on, let me see. Current time in UAE. Because he’s currently over, well, he was over in UAE when this was happening. So he tweeted this at 9 something this morning. Okay, so they’re like, it’s already 8, 12 p.m. over there. Okay, so it’s still like in the evening. So he, you know, probably was at dinner. And tweeted. Has anybody noticed since I said I hate Taylor Swift that she’s no longer hot? I just find it funny. I’m sorry. It is just funny. I you you would say, Dana, the president should be tweeting things like this. Yes. And I shouldn’t be engaging with trolls on social media. But it is what it is. You know, I mean, that’s where we are. So this. I don’t know. I’m wondering, I don’t know if she’s going to say, are the Swifties, isn’t that what they call her fan base? The Swifties. Again, you’re 35 years old. You’re not Selena. Quit it. Just stop. You don’t need to even be doing all that. Just quit it. You’re not Selena. So I don’t know. There’s a lot happening. Now, in the meantime, in the house with reconciliation, it still remains. There was no… Inclusion of exemption for taxes and Social Security. They wanted to give you a measly little deduction, but they have been having an absolute fight. They sunk a key vote. And this was on the House Budget Committee this morning. They sunk a key vote advancing the BBB, the big, beautiful bill. And it was the 16 to 21 vote. That throws a pretty big hurdle because they’re supposed to send – let me look at my calendar. I’m actually going to – let me grab my calendar here. They’re supposed to be sending this bill to the Senate by – so they were supposed to – they’re supposed to have it by Memorial Day. So that’s – From today, that’s like one week. Because I think that they leave, I think that they break again that next weekend. So Memorial Day is the 26th. Memorial Day is just, you know, literally just barely over a week away. And so the Senate was supposed to have this. That was the original plan. They were supposed to have this by Memorial Day, but they were still kind of going back and forth over some of the last minute changes. And the moderates wanted bigger tax breaks. They wanted way bigger tax breaks. So Chip Roy was one of the holdouts, several others, Ralph Norman. I mean, all of the holdouts were the people that you want to be holding out. Those are the people who are trying to be good stewards of our tax dollars, because I do not want to consider I don’t I don’t want to continue the green new funding that’s in here still. I think it’s insane that we have no permanent tax cuts that are seriously codified in this, that we have taxes on Social Security and that we’re only looking at giving tax relief to one tiny segment of the working population. That’s stupid. This is a dumb bill. And I’m tired of being gaslit by people who can’t do math and thirsty whores that come from New York who just want to want to be power adjacent. That’s the truth of it. So I have no good things to say about this bill. I don’t. Because why should we have to always compromise? Why is it? Ask yourselves this. Why are we always told, oh, well, you know, it’s just you got to give a little and get a little. Oh, you got to give. We’ve been doing we’ve been doing all the giving, guys. For how long? I went back. Let me pull up my notes. I went back every single time that we have had to do this. in the house and go over reconciliation, go and, and kick the can down the road. And I went back to like, cause when I really, really started plugging in was like right when the tea party was getting kicked off. I was on air on the, on, uh, in 2008, uh, started, uh, co-founded the tea party movement, traveled all around the country. Uh, the, uh, bills that was like one of the first criticisms that we actually had was way back when you remember way back when this was even going back pre tea party with the don’t go movement and how they were fighting this isn’t democrats were in charge of the house but they were fighting they were going back and forth uh as it pertained to uh cutting cutting spending and deregulating so that the energy sector could get a boost because we were under democrat control gas prices were through the roof you guys remember it was like that summer it was that that summer of 2008 before the election you guys remember all of that and it was nuts and that’s ever since then i watched republicans have been saying well we gotta wait till after the election they set it back then in 08 we gotta wait till after the election let’s go into spring then you spring, the same thing. We got to wait. Let’s wait until fall. Oh my gosh, this has been going on this entire time. And I went back, I even went back and looked at all of the stuff that I had written prior about this. And this has been going on for that long. We’re going to dive into this a little bit more. We’ve got headlines coming up.

SPEAKER 21 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 13 :
So apparently police in New Hampshire are investigating the theft of a trail camera that reviewed. They saw footage that identified a bear that stole it. A bear apparently stole the camera, clawed it off a tree, and another bear watched from a short distance away. They got the report of a camera theft, police did, and they said that it was very suspicious. They were kind of joking about it, but I’ve never seen where a bear could just steal a trail cam, but okay. Fancy snake reptile wranglers find a weird diamondback rattlesnake in Arizona. They shared a photo of the snake that they came across in the backyard of a Scottsdale home. These trappers called Rattlesnake Solutions, they posted photos to social media showing what appears to be a western diamondback rattlesnake that has a leopard-like color pattern. They said that the only normal thing about it was that the snake’s bright white tail base had black spots. And that was it. So normally they have diamond-shaped patterns on their bodies, but this one said that it was a very weird pattern. Apparently, why are people even paying for a subscription for Netflix anyway? Netflix is going to start showing generative AI ads midway through their streams beginning next year. And they said that they’re testing the amount and types of ads that they’re willing to to try to see what subscribers are willing to endure. And they said that it’s for lower prices, but I mean, they’re not lowering the prices. They’re keeping them the same. So they said that they’ve created interactive mid-roll ads and pause ads that incorporate it and that they can start seeing these ads in 2026. So I guess it’s going to be in the middle of the show, I guess is what it is. The president of advertising at Netflix said they’re going to be mid-roll ads.
SPEAKER 21 :
I hated that when Amazon did that. Remember when Prime started doing that?
SPEAKER 13 :
They launched their ad subscription tier in November of 22, and they have 300 total million subscribers. They got 94 million subscribers to the ad tier. So they said, I don’t know what they think that… What’s the point of paying for it if you’re still going to have… That’s just so stupid and shady. I think it’s so lame. I don’t know. It depends on how many ads. Because if I have to start watching a ton of ads, I guarantee you I’m not going to… If people are paying for it… I don’t think you should you should be throwing ads in their face. It’s not like radio where the people, the sponsors that you hear pay for everything. That’s what that is. So Washington Examiner says that clean energy is dead in the house. They were trying to incentivize and use tax incentives essentially to help grow nuclear power. But that’s one of the things that apparently is on the cutting room floor. for the sweeping fiscal overhaul. And, I mean, I don’t know. They’re still going to consider funding Planned Parenthood with this? I don’t know. Apparently, let’s see. I don’t know. It’s a deer that was in a drain. Okay. A new pope got his own trading card and it already outsold one of the most popular basketball players of all time. That actually is interesting. I didn’t know that you could do a pope card, but apparently you can. It’s Topps. They put together a trading card for Pope Leo ahead of his inauguration later this month. They said it’s already breaking records and it’s now the best-selling non-sports tops card. It outsold Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and John Cena. And of course, it’s already being scalped. People are paying $195 and up just for the alternative art. That’s crazy. Very, yeah, $200 for a Pope card. And it even beat out Lionel Messi. And LeBron James, that’s insane. That’s that’s I’ve never heard of anything like that before. But OK, maybe, you know, can we need to get into the baseball card business? Clearly, we are doing life wrong. So coming up, we got a lot of stuff to get into. We’re going to we got some law and order. We got the latest with the Middle Eastern trip, 86 people and more. Stick with us.

Republicans talk fiscal responsibility, but they practice fiscal irresponsibility. Trump’s big, beautiful bill is full of ugly details. Mr. Chairman, there is absolutely no fiscal sanity, as you refer to it, in this bill. What begins as a four trillion dollar bit of public borrowing, according to the Nonpartisan Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, likely ends up adding almost seven trillion dollars to the national debt.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, it adds a lot. And that’s why you see a lot of these lawmakers. They are really kind of they’re pushing back against this stuff. And I love his accent, by the way. Where’s Doggett from? Let me see. I liked his accent because it sounded kind of like my grandmother’s accent. Oh, he’s from Austin, Texas. Dang, that’s not a Texas drawl. That’s right. Lloyd Doggett. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s born in Texas, so that’s a Texas drawl. But he’s a Democrat. And here’s the thing. I really want to say that he’s wrong and I want to argue with him. And so, but I can’t. Hmm. So I can’t. So and just this, but it is. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. Top or bottom of this second hour. So the the bill, we talked about this a little bit this week. The bill. Has all of the Green New Deal subsidies in it. The you just get like a measly deduction for Social Security. I’ve I’ve been watching people. I’ve had some operatives for certain different candidates message me and kind of get snotty with me about it. They’re like, well, Dana, you just don’t want to accept anything. It’s like, no, that’s not it. And that’s a false equivalency. It’s not about I don’t want to accept anything. It’s I was promised certain things. And you damn Republicans have campaigned, wanted our votes. You try to shame us into it in 2020 and acting like if we didn’t go along with whatever big budget thing you wanted to propose, then we’re somehow betraying the country. They’re doing it again now. Do not be gaslit into this. This is how they keep doing this. Like I said, I was looking at my notes going all the way back. From 2008. When I first went on air. And when I first went on air in 2008, October 28th, 2008 was my first show. I was writing about all of this before then. And if you remember, what was one of the key things that everybody in the Tea Party back in when we all first had that phone call, the very first national phone call we had was that Sunday. And we were we were launching our game plan for this. Right. What was one of the biggest things that everybody was livid about? You guys remember? It was too big to fail. All of this… We were complaining about this. The first call and everything got launched in 2009. But I was talking to activists and we were actually speaking out and protesting too big to fail and all of these other government… federal government-centric things that really should be left to the states are not meddled with at all. I mean, this is… Gosh, this has been going on for so long. Every single time that we have had this budget battle, they’ve kicked the can down the road. And it has been, and I’m kind of stunned of the short memories of some of these people who write op-eds that are friends of mine, and they are all for this. Mike, do you not remember in 2009, that spring, they were like, no, no, no, we got to wait. We got to wait because we’re getting ready to go into midterms. We’re just going to take it slow. Let’s maybe revisit how we can start shaping all of this in the fall. And then fall of 2009 came and all hell was breaking loose. The one time that they actually sort of stood up, Republicans did. to the request from the moderates for big spending and Democrats push for big spending was right ahead of the 2010 midterm elections. Right. Right ahead of the 20 term midterm elections when we were facing a government shutdown and Republicans were told, if you allow the government to shut down, then you’re going to lose everything. And what happened? You guys remember what happened? Oh, my gosh. It was a monumental, a huge, huge victory. And I think Barack Obama called it a shellacking because Republicans held their ground and delivered for the voters. And I guess they lost the lessons of that. They they, I guess, forgot what that what that was like. They they had good messaging, though. They they had good they had decent, actual, decent messaging. And now what is it? They’re too they’re so afraid of their own shadow. I watched I saw one lawmaker yesterday who was tweeting that he it’s a big, beautiful bill and it accomplishes everything that they set out to do. And I’m like, wait a minute. OK, Congressman, can you answer my question? Does this also include the tax? You’re not including Social Security in taxes, right? You’re not going to tax that anymore. Never responded. But, Cain, how much do you want to bet these same people are going to be like, oh, we got a book out. Can we come talk to you about our book? I know they will. That’s how they always do. That’s how these people always do. So the other bit of news, and we talked about this at the top of the show. If you get the newsletter, yeah, I was up a little late last night getting some stuff prepared for everybody because we had this come out where as soon as we get some – where the Republicans are going to be finalized on finances, we’ll have something up about that. But this – piece that that i sent out was on the 86 it has the the original photo that he deleted that’s up there and then it also includes uh kash patel’s response and comey’s explanation so he puts up there uh cool formation on my beach walk 86 47 is what what girl man do you know goes out and arranges words on the beach with shells like a dippy influencer Who does that? Nobody. Kane, would you do that if you’re going to walk on the beach and you’re going to be like, I’m going to spell some things out with shells and take a photo for my Insta?
SPEAKER 21 :
No.
SPEAKER 13 :
You’re not going to do that?
SPEAKER 21 :
Is he claiming that he actually arranged it?
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, you know he did. Are you kidding me? He’s not walking on the beach and then walking across this thing. He did it. Come on.
SPEAKER 21 :
I agree with you.
SPEAKER 13 :
He responded later. He goes, quote, I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers. Now, I want to come back to that sentence with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind. So I took the post down. OK, so. Again, I worked as a server. I worked in a hula hands. throughout college and that’s it means to kill a menu item like to kill it like i remember one time we potato soup was our big thing and we ran out of potato soup and we had 86 the potato soup kill it off the menu you take it out you take it out of consideration you cease its being so to speak That’s, you know, that’s what it means. In fact, the lore is that, what is it? Eight by six, that’s the dimensions of a grave. And that’s why it’s called 86. That’s one of the lore I heard, some of the lore I heard. But we all knew that it meant to kill it, right? Oh, 86 it, you got to kill it. It’s not just, and it’s also used in, you know, it’s, you can use it in discussion of felonious criminal acts. scheming when you’re talking about killing somebody right you are seriously I don’t believe it for a second but it’s asinine to think that the top cop in the land he ran the FBI didn’t know what that meant shut up yes he did yes he did that’s so stupid he thought he was being cutesy right and then he’s like I didn’t realize those numbers associate those numbers like it’s 47 is not the problem it’s the number in front of it and what that is instructing let me remind everybody Twice now, people have tried to assassinate a sitting president in the past eight years in this country, past six years in the country, four years in this country, three, two, just really in the past year. They’ve tried one year. They’ve tried assassinating two times sitting president of the United States. One guy came damn near close to it. And the left brushed it off. In 2022, a leftist tried assassinating Justice Kavanaugh. Days after, Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court building and threatened. His words were, quote, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you. And he said him by name, quote, Justice Kavanaugh. He was in a fury over Roe v. Wade’s defeat. And just a few years before that, a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer tried assassinating a ball field full of congressional members. And the only reason that we didn’t have a bunch of dead Congress members is because Steve Scalise is in House leadership and he had armed security with him. Now, a lot of the guys, they own guns and they shoot regularly and they hunt, but they weren’t allowed to carry. They were disarmed. If Steve Scalise had not been there, there would have been dead lawmakers. Absolutely. Steve Scalise was almost killed. So when is the left going to stop resorting to violence and excusing violence as a substitute for reasoned debate? Kash Patel said they were aware of it. And they’re in communication with the Secret Service. Primary jurisdiction, he says, is with the Secret Service on these matters. We’re going to provide necessary support. I had other people say, well, Dana, do you know that there’s 8646 t-shirts on Amazon? Oh, did Kash Patel do it? I apologize for people who had notifications on last night. I was really, I was a smart ass last night. I really was. I was editing a couple of things and I was already tired and my eyes were really dry and I’m looking at my monitor and I just was being mean. I really was. I wasn’t mad. I was just being mean to people. And I had people say, oh, well, look on Amazon. These t-shirts on Amazon, it says 8647. Oh, did Kash Patel write those and sell them? I didn’t know Kash Patel had storefronts. So wait, you’re trying to equivocate randos selling stupid shirts on Amazon that literally nobody knew existed until somebody tried to go and cherry pick something to justify a former FBI director actually intimating, assassinating the president of the United States? Really? Seriously? Come on. I don’t buy it. Some people were saying, oh, look at some of these other conservatives who did this, or people, not conservatives, but, you know, Republican, moderate Republicans who had said this before. Again, I don’t, and I don’t like anybody saying it, but how is that the same as the director of the FBI? If you show me that Kash Patel had ever done 8646 or anything like that, fine. Oh my gosh, you got us. But he didn’t. He didn’t. Oh, but Kash Patel reposted a video where he was chopping off political opponents heads. It was someone else made the video and it was the dumbest AI I’ve ever seen. Actually, it was like his one of those videos where it’s like his somebody’s face superimposed on something and they’re cutting a log. And the end of the log that’s coming off are like heads of like different leftist commentators and lawmakers. I don’t like that either. And I say that as somebody that the anti-gun lobby made fetish assassination videos of. I literally had like gun control groups reposting videos, AI videos of me being murdered. So yeah, nobody likes that. But was it the FBI director that made it? You morons. No, it wasn’t. So stop with this nonsense equivocation. I get it. You guys have a bloodlust. You love dead Republicans. You love killing people as a substitute for reason discourse. I get it. But that doesn’t mean your arguments have to be as stupid, too. I’m just tired of this stuff.

SPEAKER 07 :
Man, listen, I was just watching your clips. And you know, we have this low birth rate in America. And it all made sense to me. It just hit me right now because who’s going to sleep with these ugly ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS, liberal women? I mean, you look at these rallies, it’s like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other.
SPEAKER 13 :
have you seen what comey i love it that was funny jesse i jesse’s been a long time friend of mine and you could he’s just dying you could tell it was too funny but it’s true also can we stop with the armpit hair for women like why is that a thing i’m wondering i i i’m trying to understand the thought process of i’m going to be nasty to be powerful It is. I’m sorry. It’s just, it’s nasty. I just, but I’m, I don’t know. I just don’t. So gross. Ladies, come on now. You’re, you ain’t, you ain’t owning anybody but yourselves. Okay. You’re not doing nothing to anybody but yourselves with that one. Cause I, I, I have never crashed. I used to crash protests all the time when I was in college and I’ve never crashed a protest. Where there wasn’t. Kane, you know it’s true. You’ve been to concerts. That’s true. There’s always some of them women’s. There’s always at least one. It looks like they got spiders trapped under their arms. They’re holding down. It’s almost like they’re saving America from just an army of spiders under their arms. I don’t know, but it’s just… And then it’s like they got to show it off. It’s like not for them, it’s for all of you.
SPEAKER 21 :

Still, we’re going to be discussing some foreign policy. We’ve got some culture. We’ve got the Hearing Protection Act. So apparently they’re not Republicans. Republicans love campaigning on the Second Amendment. Oh, they love pretending that they’re big 2A people. But when push comes to shove, they leave you high and dry.

SPEAKER 28 :
Listen, I’m concerned with SNAP. I’m concerned with Medicaid, Pell Grants, energy manufacturing. Those are important to me. That represents trillions of dollars that they have cut. But if they’re really interested in being fiscally responsible, then don’t give such big cuts to the rich. Actually try and balance a budget. Actually try and bring down the deficit. If you want to take away all of those things from the neediest, take away some from the rich as well.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, my gosh. Tell me that you don’t understand how money or taxes work without telling me that you don’t understand how money or taxes work. That’s Stacey Plaskett, who’s a delegate with the Virgin Islands. And. She clearly does not know how… I mean, how are you 60 years old and you don’t know how this works yet? That’s just kind of embarrassing at this point. She was involved in the second impeachment of Trump. She’s a non-voting House member. And I think if you’re a non-voting House member, shut up. There you go. Be quiet. She was born in Brooklyn, but her parents are from Virgin Islands. And so she is representing… Virgin Islands non-voting member. Anyway, also apparently a communist. What is this idea? And, of course, they’re debating the bill. They’re debating the budget, which – I just can’t… Can I just say, oh my gosh, we have this conversation every year. Every time there’s a budget, we have this conversation. And I am so done with this. So done with it. She’s saying that… Oh, they… She’s also said that Republicans mainstreamed the great replacement theory. She did this whole thing where she went and called all Republicans racist on the House floor. I mean… She’s got a long history of shenanigans. Let’s just say that. But… This idea that if people who make X amount of dollars, they’re getting a tax cut. And that is a tax cut that should go elsewhere. Do you know why they’re getting the tax cut? It’s not a tax cut, but a tax return or anything else. They pay most into the system. We’ve gone over these figures over and over again. I’ll do it again. The top 1% in the United States pay the vast majority of all the taxes. And you have 50% of people in this country who don’t pay anything. Actually, is it over 50 percent? Look at my notes. It might be. Long story short, you guys understand the reality here. And this narrative they’re trying to foment and that they were trying to argue with the quote unquote big, beautiful bill, et cetera, that the rich were getting tax cuts or they get they get mad when the rich get when people who pay into the system get more money back than the people who pay less into the system or nothing at all. It’s just it’s stunning to me. And I really feel I don’t know. When Congress was first established, you had a lot of people in Congress that were business owners and they had farms and they had to. pay people and they had to manage land and they had to manage resources and they had to manage you know their business partnerships and trade and all of this other stuff and serving in government I don’t want to say it was a consequence of that, but I don’t have a better way to put it. But it was something that sort of a consequence of that. I go, these people have this experience that gives them some authority per their expertise to legislate about this or to speak about it or to lobby about it. And so. That’s, you know, people like, you know, Davy Crockett and everybody else, when they went and served in D.C., they had expertise because they were active in the private sector. And then at some point, the majority of these people and I might be playing fast and loose with my percentages here. But it seems like there are a hell of a lot more people now that serve in Congress that don’t have that real life experience, that don’t know how to make payroll, that have never been the first to arrive and the last to leave, that don’t know the stress. running a business that don’t understand the stress of making sure that people are paid that don’t understand you know all of the pressures that go in with a business I mean we ran a small business I we lived it and it is it’s hard and usually I mean you’re the the business owner I mean by and large this is usually how it goes for the first what five to seven years I mean for the first several years you don’t even make anything people who work for you do, but the owner is always the last person that takes the paycheck until you actually are profitable. These people don’t understand that. So at some point, It’s like the makeup of people serving in government changed and it went from business owners and farmers and ranchers and people that really understood how the world works to people like Stacey Plaskett who have never run a business and have everything handed to them because they can either check boxes or because they’re nepo babies or something. And then they get into… positions of government where they can affect law. And then now look, then you start having all of these stupid regulations and stupid restrictions and Marxist taxation levels, etc. Well, any taxation is Marxist, but you get my point. I don’t know when that changed completely. I think FDR had a hand in it. But it is stunning. And it’s really, I get angry because I’m insulted. I’m insulted by people who have never contributed anything themselves or have no skin in the game that want to lecture all of us about this stuff. I don’t know. Whether or not this bill makes it through, they were supposed to have it in by Memorial Day. It’s just not… I’m not happy with it. I don’t think it helps. I think it increases the deficit. And what’s more, and I’m going to come to this here and pull this up. What’s more is the issue of these lawmakers that talk a really good game about Second Amendment issues. But when push comes to shove, they do nothing. So we’ve had on we talked to some lobbyists earlier this week about the Hearing Protection Act. and the suppressors the suppressor issue right so they were supposed to amend the reconciliation bill to repeal the inclusion of suppressors which are not silencers i don’t silencer i know originally that was like the cutie little colloquial colloquial term that the originator came up with but the more accurate way to say it and words are important because they invoke different legal ramifications is suppressor because it doesn’t silence anything and So far, it’s not in it. They’re after promising a lot of these lawmakers actually promised that they in campaign speeches. Now they’re not delivering just like they’re not delivering on removing Social Security from taxation. If they’re not going to take suppressors out of the NFA, they’re not. Look, you’re not going to get you’re not going to get. nationwide concealed carry. You’re not going to get that. Concealed carry bill is not going to go anywhere in the House. They’re just doing that to string people along. They’re entirely ineffective. And it’s disappointing. And I’m going to remember this the next time they’re like, oh, can we get your votes? Oh, can we get this? Can you come vote for us? People need to realize that there have to be consequences for for lying to the American voter and not following through on your promises. Yeah, there are a number of them that don’t. And Johnson, I think Johnson’s been incredibly ineffective. This is he’s not getting anything done. And there’s so much compromise. It’s almost like Kevin McCarthy is still there, except I will say Kevin McCarthy had more influence than Mike Johnson did. You know, I’m going to tell you something. A lot of people give Marjorie Taylor Greene a lot of grief. But the one area where she actually was, and she’s been right on a lot of things. A lot of people just don’t like her delivery. That woman was 100% right on that speaker fight. She called it out. She was like, no, no, no. She was on the phone with POTUS. Remember that infamous picture where she had him on the phone? And she was saying no. She was like, this is not the time to do it. She wasn’t opposed. And this is where most of us were. She wasn’t opposed to switching out the speaker. She just wasn’t opposed. She just was opposed doing it at that exact time. And she had also noted, look, y’all don’t have a replacement. Who are you guys going to have step in to take his spot? And so… She was really critical of that, and she reminded everybody about that a couple days ago. But McCarthy at least had the seniority because he’d been there for a while, so he knew everybody, knew where the bodies are buried, rhetorically speaking. And he was able to do more than Johnson is now. And that was all because, again, that was the Gates got mad at Kevin McCarthy because Kevin McCarthy wouldn’t stop an ethics investigation into Gates. And so Gates decided to get even with McCarthy. And that’s the stunt that he pulled is he kicked off the whole speaker fight. And Marjorie Taylor Greene was against it from the beginning. Like I said, people get mad over her delivery. She was right about this. She was a thousand percent right. And what’s more, she’s even like, look, he’s not, she’s trying to not completely start a war, but she’s saying, look, Johnson doesn’t even know what he’s doing now because he doesn’t. He’s not, this is not getting done. How are you not having some of the simplest things be included in this bill? But Dana, they barely have a majority. My gosh, I’m so damn tired of that excuse. So tired of it. When they had a more sizable majority earlier, they didn’t do anything still. I mean, at some point, that excuse has got to run out of power, right? You’ve got to hit your credit limit with it, right? Good night. I mean, I was reading this story earlier about tax dollars and what everything pays for. Like, for instance, in New Jersey, they They had people, they had spikes in their utility costs. They were raising prices on everybody. And then they were also taking a lot of taxpayer dollars and funding things like offshore wind and settling illegal immigrants. And this story, gosh, there’s a lot. I’m just, I don’t know. And this is something that’s all across the United States. They’ve added fees, like for instance, They’ve added all kinds of fees under these utility bills, and some folks have been diving into it, finding out that it’s just created a never-ending slush fund for Democrats to pay for pet projects. And funding this like experimental clean energy for their buddies and all this stuff. I mean, this is we keep finding out more abuses of taxpayer dollars and the best that we can get from Congress is where we’re going to increase the deficit. Continue all of Joe Biden’s funding for the Green New Deal. Yeah, and that’s it. And we’re going to continue to attack Social Security. But hey, we played a shell game, so here we go. You happy with this? It’s the folks over at Kel-Tec, the Generation 3 Sub 2K. It’s a fold-in-half rifle, and now available in 10mm.

SPEAKER 13 :
So here’s some breaking news. You might want to look out in New Orleans. Eleven inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail. Most of them are murderers. Yeah. I don’t know how eleven dudes escaped from prison at one time unless they had help from the inside. I mean, this is like… That one show with Jeremy Renner, mayor of Kingstown. I don’t know how 11 get out, but they got they escaped from the Orleans Justice Center midnight this morning, early this morning. The sheriff said the escape was discovered during a routine headcount at 830 a.m. They said that the they confirmed the escapees about 1015 a.m. So who knows how long they’ve been gone. The escapees. Let me just read you the rap sheets. Domestic abuse. Illegal carrying of a weapon. Illegal carrying of a weapon. Illegal carrying of a weapon. Murder. Murder. Murder. Murder. Aggravated battery. Murder. Attempted murder. Aggravated battery. Three counts of attempted murder. Murder. Murder. Domestic violence. Murder. Illegal possession of a weapon. Murder. I mean, yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
You’re motivating Democrats towards these people.
SPEAKER 13 :
Democrats right now are breaking their ankles in a rush. To meet with these dudes over margaritas right now. Yeah. So they are considered to be super dangerous and armed. Armed and dangerous. They did capture one guy. Ten are still on the run. They caught one guy in a French Quarter parking garage. He was spotted. They got him, listen, using facial recognition tech on a Project NOLA camera. So they got him. He fled on foot initially. But they were able to get him. Bruce Springsteen apparently fell down on stage. I didn’t say Godsmack. No one said that. That is a band. Not a reference to anything in particular. Oh, there it is. Oh, man. Oh, help him up. Life alert. I have fallen and I can’t get up.
SPEAKER 21 :
And he couldn’t actually look.
SPEAKER 13 :
He literally couldn’t. He was like a beetle that fell. And they had to lift him up. That’s not a good look. You know what I’m saying? That’s not… Can I just watch this again? You know what? Sometimes we just need to let it roll over and over again all the way to the end of the segment. But it’s just not a good look that he literally had to be hoisted up off the stage like a legit toddler. That’s I’ve lifted my kids up like that. You guys. Oh, man. OK, so a let’s see. Oh, one hundred one degrees in Texas in May. I told you guys we got heated into the sun after like two days of 80 degree weather. So apparently we’re going to have multiple records broken over the next week. An early heat wave has already arrived. Cue everyone down here going, but it’s a dry heat. It’s a dry heat. You sweat all the same. So technically, no. We have a lot more on the way as we are rolling towards the bottom of this second hour. I almost said third hour. Stick with us. Our partners that help bring you the program burn a gun. Look, it makes sense to diversify your weapons array. I’m not I’m not going to tell you not to carry. I think you should carry a gun. And I think that you should not be afraid to use it in defense of yourself or a loved one. I try to avoid gun free zone areas because they’re dumb and it’s unconstitutional. And these people don’t do anything to protect you. They just want the virtue signaling of saying gun free. But I also don’t want to like make a political statement not carrying and then get turned into a statistic. So Berna is it’s a self-defense weapon. It’s shaped like a gun. Like you got the Berna rifle. You got all these other kinds. But I think for the purpose of this, the Berna SD and their new compact launcher, the Berna CL, that’s what you need to focus on. And they shoot chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats. from up to 50 feet away. It doesn’t care about stupid gun-free zone signs. It doesn’t care about any of that. There’s no background checks. There’s no waiting periods. You don’t have to pay a tax stamp. There’s none of it. It’s sent right to your front door. And you are able to still have a means of protection when a private property wants to disarm you or a local or municipal restriction. And for college kids, too, that are too young to carry but also live alone, this is a great idea for them as well. And it’s super affordable. You can check it out. They have like different accessories and colors and all that. The Burna CL, it’s like maybe just under seven inches long, really thin. And it’s, there’s no, I mean, there’s no recoil, easy target acquisition. And the SD, that’s one of its best selling self-defense options. You can look at all of them at Burna.com slash Dana, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 26 :
and discrimination against black people. We are in a moment of anti-blackness on steroids and we refuse to be silent. We will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice. The antidote to anti-blackness is to be pro-black and we will do it unapologetically. The United States government owes us a debt and we need reparations now.
SPEAKER 13 :
I didn’t know it was a call and answer session. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. That is Ariana Presley, who’s talking about reparations. Man, Democrats are just they just keep putting out bangers, right? They just keep putting out bangers. I’m all for them doing this. Do it. Try it. F-A-F-O. I’m all about it. Democrats introduced a federal resolution, once again, for reparations. I’ve got a lot of questions about this. So Summer Lee out of Pennsylvania led it. It was first introduced back in 23 by Cori Bush. Now, don’t you criticize that woman because she’s got a man who says he’s a wizard. Right? It was her bodyguard who says he’s a wizard and he can literally bring a plague upon you. I don’t know. That came out. She was paying him campaign money. I don’t know. Anyway, they said… that in this press conference, they want, Presley says she wants restitution and justice and reparations, and I don’t even know what that exactly means. I’m so tired of hearing off of the stolen labor, stolen land, et cetera, et cetera. Can I just note that every nation on earth, without exception, has engaged in the practice of slavery, and it wasn’t just us. black citizens that were enslaved either. I mean, by and large, it’s a horrible thing. It goes without saying. But it wasn’t reserved also for just one group of people or another. So my question is, how does this work? So people who were never slaves want money from people who never owned them. Okay. That still doesn’t make any sense to me. So like, Cain, let me use Cain as an example. Sorry, Cain. I just want to use you as an example. So You’re, and we’ll just put it bluntly, so Cain is half Mexican. So your family wasn’t even here. Half of you weren’t even here when all that happened. So do you only… Pay 50% reparations? Like, how does that work?
SPEAKER 21 :
That’s a great question.
SPEAKER 13 :
Juan’s family’s from Puerto Rico. How does that work?
SPEAKER 21 :
Is there no, like, system?
SPEAKER 13 :
Juan wouldn’t even hear. He’s got to pay reparations.
SPEAKER 21 :
So we’ve got to consider that. Plus, is there a system considering your family’s history?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, so my family predominantly are Irish, which explains so much. And American Indian. So when we look back through our family records, we were on the Dawes rule. So we were, my ancestors were forcibly removed on the trail of genocide by Democrats to go to Oklahoma and elsewhere. Excuse me. So how does that work? So when my, and then my other ancestors, when they came over a way long time ago, I mean, the Irish were enslaved and they were treated horrifically. So how does that work? Is there like a grading scale? I think when you’re also demanding that you and only you deserve recognition for past offenses, you’re also diminishing and attempting to disqualify everything else that everybody else is. It’s the human story. The human story is because humans have the free will to choose evil and good. And part of the human story is immoral activities such as this. Part of the human story is entire tribes in Africa that would conquer other tribes, and they would literally sell them into slavery. I don’t know where people thought that they were going when they were over there on the Ivory Coast, and they were sending people through that famous doorway and trekking across the Atlantic to the New World and selling people to plantations. But, I mean, it wasn’t just a bunch of Englishmen over there that were selling people, and they were working. In fact, what was it, the— What was the one movie that was made and it was on Netflix and it got a lot of pushback even from black historians because they were glamorizing one of the biggest tribes in Africa that was prolific in the slave trade. They made a lot of cash trading their enemies, other enemy tribes. They would war and they would capture and they would sell. So if you descended from that And are you then partly responsible for reparations, for paying reparations, too? Like, how does that work? That’s how stupid this is.
SPEAKER 21 :
Let’s remember where the word slave came from. It didn’t come from some African descent. It came from the Slavic countries. And they were actually white people who were slaves first, which is why the word slave was even what it is.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, what it says, too, is that, oh, it’s okay in every instance but this. I don’t think it’s okay in any instance. But this is, you know, the history that we have. I mean, one of the things with history is we look back at what, you know, the people who came before us did, and if we don’t like what they did, we say we’re not going to repeat that. That’s the unfortunate aspect of it. But to demand that someone who wasn’t involved be responsible for paying you is… It is… A lazy way to redistribute wealth. And the sad thing is, is you’re diminishing actual immoral activity by using it as a veneer for greed. And that’s the truth of it. If like Ariana Presley and others calling for reparations want to get really mad, be pissed off at Democrats. That perpetuated this. It was Democrats who did the trail of genocide and it was Democrats who fought to keep people enslaved. That is the truth of the matter. They fought for this. And their policies after continued to fight for it. The destruction of the black community through community, through urban planning, the likes of which happened under, you had under FDR and others. I mean, go back and look what happened. Like when they were building roads and highways, this was Democrat central planning. There’s entire books on this. I have two in my library. That was Democrat central planning. And it was designed to divide and control. I’ve never understood how people can support the party that historically fought to diminish them at every turn. The abolitionists were Republicans. The people who wanted women to be able to not have to go to the poorhouse when their husbands passed away, to be able to inherit the farms that they worked on alongside of their husbands and families. Those were Republicans that fought for women to be able to do that. It was Republicans that fought for women to be able to cast a vote as an equal citizen of this nation. And it was Democrats that opposed it at every step. That ideology. I hate breaking everything down to just Republican or Democrat. But it is that ideology that is still so pervasive today. I mean, think about the policies. And it’s even creeping over in conservative spheres. This is one of the reasons I get enraged when I hear about people trying to expand welfare programs like paying women to have babies. They are a continuation of the same policy that chipped away at the nuclear family unit over the past several generations. And they’re trying to doll it up as a conservative proposal. It’s asinine. Who is the party of higher taxation that makes it to where a family has to send both parents out of the home to work? Exactly. This is my point. I mean, if Democrats want reparations, maybe they should ask themselves to pay themselves then for diminishing and dehumanizing themselves. And furthermore, I want my reparations. My ancestors were forcibly removed, apparently by Elizabeth Warren’s ancestors back in the day. So what do I get out of that? I would like to know. My family was dirt poor. And my family came from a tribe that actually was pretty independently wealthy in Georgia back in the day. And they had everything confiscated and seized from them and they were sent on the trail of genocide. We’re on the roll books. We’re listed. My ancestors are listed on the trail and they got their numbers. So I’m just curious. What do what do my ancestors get from that? Like, where does that come? What about the tribes that were relocated through that trail of genocide? They can’t even own their own land on Indian reservations. Do you know that? Democrats have fought against that forever. If you’re on a res, you can’t even own your own land. The government owns it. It’s actually not. I think about it. It’s actually not that much different from property taxes. You never really own your own land. You really can’t even have it in your name on a res. So that’s, you know. Why? Why did they do that? Why did the government do that and disallow them to own property? Big question. So if they’re going to talk about reparations, they need to take it to their party and say, you owe us this because this is what you fomented throughout history. It is evil to demand that someone else carry the penalty for another person’s sin. God doesn’t even do that. God doesn’t pass on original sin. It’s a myth that he does and it’s scripturally incorrect to assert otherwise. He doesn’t do that. You’re not responsible for the sins of your father. And again, if people want to argue that you are, tell me, explain to me Jesus’s lineage again. I just, it’s divisive and it’s hateful and it’s racist. They’re just racist is all it is. Lorraine notes that the Irish quarter and her German half of her family didn’t get here until after it was over and they were dirt poor. So what about those? And what about black slave owners? There were some Native American, American Indian slave owners. What about them? Here’s the other thing. What about people like my husband’s family who came over here in the 1800s from Germany? And there was a book written about his grandfather, Gustavus Lash. He was taken as a prisoner of war and he was in Andersonville, the worst POW camp in the country. And I can’t remember how many of them walked out. They had a ton of them in there. And to feed them, they would drive a live ox into the yard. And the prisoners would have to tear at it with their bare hands and teeth if they wanted to eat. Most of them died. Most of them died. And my husband’s grandfather was one of the very few that walked out alive, totally emaciated, looking like a concentration camp survivor, but walked out alive. There’s newspaper articles written about him and all kinds of stuff. He fought for the union. He gave his health. He offered up his life. Sir, are you telling me that somebody, his descendants, have to pay for something they didn’t do? What about the people who lost their lives fighting to free people? Are you telling me that by way of their skin color, that they are just required to pay for it’s racist ariana presley is a racist and these other people are as well and they use their skin color as a gimmick and it’s sickening and it’s divisive and it’s evil it is a moral failing on their part to demand reparations you know there are people that have suffered i wrote i have a whole chapter about this in my book grace canceled because i write i write about all of this Human history is entirely imperfect and filled with error because humans are entirely imperfect and error prone. You’re continuing this pattern by demanding something from people who are not responsible to pay you for something you never endured. And when I look at the backgrounds of some of these lawmakers, you know, like people like Jasmine Crockett and others who, And they never experienced the poverty that I grew up with, ever. When I look at Ayanna Pressley’s background, I mean, she had a lot of stuff handed to her. She grew up in Chicago. She did Planned Parenthood advertisements. She was able to build herself And then she kind of like discounts that and acts like, you know, she didn’t none of this was available to her. She wouldn’t be where she was if these opportunities had not been available opportunities that she argues don’t exist. It doesn’t make any sense. It is it’s evil and it’s a perpetuation of the sin that they accuse others of. We have Florida Man on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of the second hour.

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 13 :
Some of these headlines I got today. All right. So first up, I’m telling you what, this is scary. If I lived in Florida and I love you, Florida, I love vacationing in you. I love your food. I love going down there. I like going. I mean, the whole every part of it, no matter what part of it is all beautiful. You’re all’s water is. I mean, it’s terrifying because the stuff that’s in it. In your sewers, municipal employees were doing a routine inspection. Routine inspection. Oh, we got to go look at this pipe. It’s underneath this Florida road. Let’s send a little camera down there just to see. Oh, my gosh. There’s a gator sitting in the pipe like a people. He’s sitting there like a people. Look at him. Juan’s got, I think Juan’s got it. It’s a, they were looking, it’s this concrete pipe and they were looking to see like what, you know, the structure, et cetera, et cetera. You know, as one, as, as, as skilled workers would do. And they lowered this camera down there and they saw a gator. It looked, it legit looks like he’s sitting up. I can’t even say the city’s name, but they posted a photo to Facebook showing the image of the gator. And they used this remote-controlled camera to check the pipe. You know, they were looking for cracks and leaks and things like that. Oh, but then there’s more. They also had video of him later walking around. The pipes were fine, but he’s just walking around. See, he’s probably looking at him with these, just sitting like a people. Just sitting there, chilling in the pipe. Can you imagine? Now, that’s a sewage pipe. I don’t know. Like, is he going to come up in somebody’s toilet? I don’t know. I’m just saying. They also kind of want to chill with you at your house, too. Not this particular gator, but one of his friends. An alligator. Another alligator. Not the one that we had last week that knocked on someone’s door. This is a new gator knocking on someone’s door. Come and knock on my door. He got stuck in a folding chair. He needed some helps. Lee County Sheriff’s Office posted a video to social media. A gator was visiting front porches in Tortuga and their deputies had to come because he got his head stuck in a folding chair. And as he approached the front door. He had the chair on his head and it was hitting the doors almost like he was signaling for help. So clearly the homeowner did not try to do it themselves. They called the professionals to come and help. My gosh, we got a lot more on the way. Third hour next. Stick with us. Your body is a powerhouse. It heals, it builds, it keeps you moving.

SPEAKER 29 :
Given the new allegations in Jake Tapper’s book, do you have any concerns with President Biden’s age or decline? And was there a cover-up by the Democratic Party?
SPEAKER 31 :
We’re not looking backward. We’re going to continue to look forward, certainly. Oh, goodness. I think President Biden made the decision not to seek reelection. It’s a decision that House Democrats strongly supported.
SPEAKER 13 :
Thank you. So that’s their talking point that went out clearly. No, no, no. We got to look forward, guys. We got to look forward. That’s what we got to do. We got to look forward. We’re not looking back anymore. We’re looking forward. Well, wait a minute. What does that have to do with you guys covering up biden’s you know i was thinking about this too first welcome back uh daniel ash with you channel 347 direct tv is the string the chat’s at rumble when they when when they were in that interview with biden wasn’t it cnn that uh ran the interview and and this was before the debate right and his answers they were like a ton of they had a ton of jump cuts and And I also saw all of these other stations. This was like last year this article came out. There was a radio station in Milwaukee that said that they had edited. They did an interview with Biden. They edited portions of it per his campaign’s request. And they had to make him sound decent. But when he did that interview, that interview was in June. And they edited his interview to make him sound sentient. They all knew about that then. So if you’re a news network and you’re doing a pre-tape interview with somebody, there’s a lot of people involved in that. Obviously, you have the talent that’s sitting and doing the interview, but you also have the producers. You have video editors. You’ve got a lot of people, right? You have a lot of people that are involved in this. And then you also have to have the final product signed off on. There were a lot of people involved in that interview where Biden looked like a mess and they all hit it. They all hit it. They knew it even when scheduling and trying to orchestrate the debate between Biden and Trump. And I was reading later, there was one staffer that was saying that they were really hoping that, you know, he wouldn’t, take the debate, that Biden wouldn’t do the debate. Audio Summit 11, listen to this. Jake Sullivan’s like, I was so shocked at his performance at that debate. This was the acting here. They’re all going for Oscars. Watch this.
SPEAKER 15 :
What happened in that debate was a shock to me. I think it was a shock to everybody. And I’ve made that point before.
SPEAKER 27 :
Just finally, do you think in retrospect, given everything that’s happened, everything we’ve talked about today, it was a mistake for President Biden to try to run again?
SPEAKER 15 :
One of the things about being National Security Advisor is that you’re mercifully insulated from politics and political decision-making. I was insulated from it to the point where, while I was National Security Advisor, my spouse was running for Congress, and I had strict rules about what I could even do to support my spouse.
SPEAKER 13 :
He was so surprised by the debate, Cain, by Biden’s debate performance. Jake Sullivan, who has been with the administration start to finish, he was shocked. by the debate performance. I was shocked before the debate performance. I mean, Cain, you saw him talk.
SPEAKER 21 :
Do you think part of his job is counting on his ability to observe things and be observant?
SPEAKER 13 :
Jake Sullivan? Yeah. Well, yeah, I would imagine.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, so that’s why I don’t buy this.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I don’t buy this from any of these cats. They’re all trying to cover their backside because they’re losing all their influence and they know it. And This makes them look even worse. This is so crazy. Oh, they were all audio soundbite 12. He Jake Sullivan denies that Biden never forgot his name. And he I’m pretty sure this means that this did happen. This is a Politico event.
SPEAKER 27 :
Listen, the accusation is not that he could never perform well, is that it was that he couldn’t do it all the time, that he was only able to function well for a few hours in the day, that he would have moments of forgetfulness, that he would There’s actually an excerpt in the book where it says he forgot your name in December 2022. He called you Steve a couple of times. Did that happen?
SPEAKER 15 :
I do not recall that ever happening. And I will tell you, Joe Biden knows my name. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, that’s yeah, that’s of course. I don’t recall that happening. I was just as surprised as you were about Biden’s debate performance. I was so shocked. I did not know. That he was going to perform poorly. If you had watched him at any point leading up to this, you would have seen clearly interviews, speeches that he gave, walking across the lawn. I mean, you would have seen. We all knew the debate was going to go that way. We all knew that that was going to happen. All knew it was going to happen. Listen to Booty Juice, who’s now like, well… He’s, do I want this one or do I want this other? No, no, not Buttigieg. I’ll get to him in a minute. Let’s get to his, the other guy that looks just like him. Beto O’Rourke. Beto O’Rourke is finally, he’s trying to get in on this. Oh yeah, I knew Biden was, yeah, he’s trying to cash in on this now. I’ll do something about nine.
SPEAKER 16 :
Just to be clear, Biden should not have run again. And to be even more clear, he failed this country in the most important job that he had. In fact, the entire rationale for his presidency the first time and the rationale he tried to sell us on for his attempt to run for reelection. Only I can stop Donald Trump. And he failed to do that.
SPEAKER 13 :
Where was this guy saying this? Oh, remember he was quiet. He was super quiet because he was hoping that he would still get some kind of inter-party advancement. Why is he coming out again? Is he thinking about running for something? Probably.
SPEAKER 21 :
What is he going to run for? He probably sees the weak bench these Democrats have and he tells himself he has a chance.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh my gosh. If you have a weak bench of Democrats, Beto O’Rourke is still the weakest on there. I agree. Oh my gosh. This guy’s never met a protein shake that he liked. It’s true. True. Sidebar, sidebar, sidebar, sidebar. I can’t stand like little dweebs like that. Like little just no, not the heaviest thing that he ever picked up was his like Mexican made strat. It’s like the lightest. That’s the heaviest thing he ever picked up. But they all knew. And he’s trying to he’s now trying to get in. He’s trying to get a piece of that influential pie. Now, this is an advisor, a former advisor for booty juice, booty juice, new mom who’s totally running. Now, he admits like while this is happening and they’re all doing this whole like, no, Biden’s totally fine. That the prosecution of the president, Trump at the time, was, oh, absolutely. It was an organized effort. This is audio somebody 13. Take a gander.
SPEAKER 30 :
are mad, why the base is mad at some of the leaders in Washington is not because they’re not left enough. It’s because Chuck Schumer came out with no strategy, no forewarning, and just said, we’re going to fold on the CR. I mean, I think he could have done a better job of explaining what the strategy was and what we’re going to do, but there wasn’t anything like that. I think Democrats are learning. I’m going to agree with you that Democrats cannot only be the party of resistance. We cannot like we resisted so hard between 2017 and 2024. We impeached the guy like we prosecuted him, convicted him of 34 felony counts. And guess what?
SPEAKER 13 :
I don’t know how much they’re admitting it. Like, oh, yeah, we orchestrated all of this. It was never about like politics and it was never about the American people. It was only ever about getting even. I want to switch switch up. Switch up the discussion here because the Supreme Court yesterday, as you know, they started oral arguments for birthright citizenship. And the funniest thing that I heard or that I saw accompanying some of what the SCOTUS, some of what SCOTUS said, they don’t have, they have audio recordings, but they don’t have the cameras in there. Someone said that Ketanji Brown Jackson said the word injunction like Adam Sandler’s Cajun Man character from SNL. Listen, this is Audio Somebody 14.
SPEAKER 12 :
In this very case, if we have a series of plaintiffs that have actually named people and they get an injunction. A what?
SPEAKER 13 :
A what? Can I just hear the injunction word?
SPEAKER 14 :
And they get an injunction.
SPEAKER 13 :
An injunction? Did James Carville’s ears perked up? Injunction. Conjunction. Injunction. What’s your function?
SPEAKER 14 :
They get an injunction.
SPEAKER 13 :
Injunction. What is that? What is that? Someone says she sounds like Adam Sandler’s Cajun Man character. That’s actually hysterical. It is, yeah. Was it like a Miss… I’m just trying to figure out how you… Was she trying to pronounce it in a way that she thought was clever? I don’t know. She totally sounds like Adam Sandler’s Cajun Man.
SPEAKER 14 :
And they get an injunction.
SPEAKER 13 :
An injunction. I’m sorry, Justice Brown Jackson. A what? An injunction. Is that like an injunction? Almost almost like that.
SPEAKER 14 :
All we need now is an injunction.
SPEAKER 13 :
All we need now is what’s her face? Who is the spokesperson for Biden to come out and say emeritus or Joe Biden to come out and say Bogota? Bogota, Sisi, Broadway. I feel like I’m saying a bad word when I talk, Joe Biden, when you do Biden Spanish. C.C.
SPEAKER 21 :
Broadway. I’m against tyranny, too.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, that’s right. Yes. You got to oppose tyranny. Who can forget? Who can forget? Now, with Democrats, Bernie Sanders, there’s two interesting soundbites. First is audio soundbite seven. where he’s extolling the lost representation of the working class with the Democrat Party. He says something right, and then he says something wrong in our next audio soundbite. This is seven. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 23 :
I think the Democratic Party, the reason the Democratic Party has struggled, in my view, over the last many years, it has lost contact with the people it used to represent, which was the working class of this country. And I personally believe that if you have the guts to stand up to the oligarchs and you run a campaign representing the needs of working families, you can a get a lot of small donations and be your program and your agenda will be strong enough.
SPEAKER 13 :
So take on the big does mention the same thing. He mentions oligarch. Do they know what an oligarch is? Do they know? Does anybody on the left know what that is? Because they use this word as this is like their pejorative du jour. It’s somebody that has benefited from state-run industry, privatization, things like that. And they’re basically a very big, rich business owner that can call shots and benefits from the private-state partnership. bernie sanders has only ever worked in government and his wife worked for a school that got government money what does that make him dare i ask if he’s an oligarch how many homes does he have three yeah then he says then he turns around and he says this uh audio somebody six listen but why do you think more democrats are not speaking up on that issue
SPEAKER 23 :
Of course. If you speak up on that issue, you’ll have super PACs like AIPAC going after you in the same way Elon Musk goes after Republicans. So what people have got to understand is right now where the corrupt campaign finance system is about is that billionaires can put unlimited amounts of money. Why do you think Elon Musk… Has been the most powerful person in government.
SPEAKER 13 :
Like George Soros? Like George Soros then. Okay, yeah, like George Soros. He says that Democrats don’t speak out against Israel about Hamas’s war on Israel and Gaza because they’ll get attacked by super PACs. I think maybe they don’t speak out, and if they’re talking about Fetterman, because Hamas literally attacked a sovereign entity and killed a bunch of people, including babies. That’s probably why. Not so much the PACs. Golly. He’s like one of those people that tries to present himself as so smart. I actually think he’s incredibly dumb. I don’t know why people venerate Bernie Sanders and act like he’s this super smart intellectual dude. He’s a dumbass. He just doesn’t seem as crazy culturally as the other Democrats. But some of the stuff he says is dumber, if you think about it. We’ve got a lot more on the way.

And she returned to her viewers. She got a stuffed animal. And then moments later, she was dead. And there was blood everywhere. It’s like on the live stream. And apparently, she was shot dead by an intruder in her salon. And they’re investigating it. This is insane. This is crazy over there. This Kennedy Center employees announced plans to unionize. If you’re a government employee, I don’t believe in public unions. Private unions are fine. Public unions, no, because the taxpayers are never consulted. And that’s taxation without representation. And we killed a bunch of people that wore red coats for that. So let’s not do that. Let’s see. Men dive a broken heart more often than women. A new study. I believe it. A new study finds women can be cold, heartless. But they said there was a company that was studying it. It’s the emotional stress that people suffer, like traumatic events, things like that.

SPEAKER 01 :
And while Pakistan tries to play the victim card in Western media, a storm is brewing in its own backyard, in its largest and most resource-rich province, Balochistan, after Baloch nationalist leaders announced independence from Pakistan. And the man leading this uprising is Miryar Baloch. On the platform X, he called on India to recognize Balochistan’s independence, even asking New Delhi to host a Baloch embassy. The Baloch struggle is not just political, it’s deeply personal as well. In forced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, military raids are reportedly common in the region. Just take the Pakistan Army Chief Asit Munir’s speech on the Baloch movement. The Baloch movement wants India’s recognition and support. Activists online are calling for solidarity with many praising India’s democratic values in sharp contrast to Islamabad’s oppression.
SPEAKER 13 :
So this is a fascinating development that is happening right now. And a lot of people in the United States might think, well, how is this exactly affecting what’s happening here? Because people are focused on domestic policy, trade. And of course, though lately, all eyes have been on POTUS as he’s been over in the Middle East. And a lot of headlines from that as well. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of this third hour. You can listen across the nation. Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program. We’re at Rumble everywhere. We’ve talked about this before. And I remember I really started getting into this geopolitical issue in a very weird way. I was watching. I love Grand Tour and I love Jeremy Clarkson and I love James May and all those guys, Richard Hammond. And I was watching James May go to India and And he was discussing some of the political earthquakes that were happening, particularly as India overtook China with becoming the most populous nation on the planet. And I thought, ooh, because that’s always been a huge talking point for China, right? Now, how does China factor into this? Well, after the fall of Afghanistan, everybody remembers China was right there. They wanted mineral rights. They were offering Belt and Road Initiative off all kinds of stuff. And now we have the situation with Pakistan and India. China has been making overtures to Pakistan as well. They want a tight alliance. But then we also they this is all because they look at India as a geopolitical threat. Well, now in kind of response to all of this, you have this new. nation that’s emerging and doesn’t want to be yoked in to all of the corruption and the economic disaster of these policies in Pakistan. All of this is reshaping this region. And it actually, I think, is is. What’s more, shoring up India’s power and influence further. And it’s fascinating if you are looking as to how to limit China’s geopolitical influence, especially since tensions with the United States have been increasing ever so much. We talk about this every week. Joining me right now. We go back all the way to St. Louis. He’s very good friends with my husband, actually. And he was Missouri treasurer in 2024. He ran for the House of Representatives. He’s a historian. Karan Pooji joins us via video. And he was he first was like, you need to look at Balochistan. You need to look at what’s happening here and the significance that this this impact is having in this region, really kind of thwarting a lot of. you know, a lot of these China’s influence and a lot of this other power. He’s joining us to talk about what all of this means in the context of India and Pakistan, two huge nuclear powers. And it’s good to see you, Karan. Thank you for joining me.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you for having me. It’s quite an honor.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s good. You have such great insight into this. And the tension with India and Pakistan has existed for quite some time. This has been happening for a long time, and there’s a lot of history to it. But this development of Balochistan coming into its own as a new nation and seeking recognition from other world powers. Talk to me about this, because this upends this whole area and really reshapes the game.
SPEAKER 05 :
yeah just so balochistan has always had this different um identity they’ve never really identified with pakistan or india or even afghanistan so they’ve always been kind of their own people they’ve already their own ethnic group their own cultural group and you know they got roped into pakistan in 1947 when all the lines were drawn and And that’s where this whole thing started was when the British left India and they separated India and Pakistan. And so Balochistan has always had their own identity, but they’ve always been kind of exploited by the Pakistani government. So now they’ve recently just declared their independence. They’ve expelled most of the military from Balochistan. The Pakistani military has been expelled. And so they’re They’re just trying to be recognized now by the UN and by India, and I think that they have quite a bit of support. It looks like they’ve acquired weapons that might have been left over from the US when we exited Afghanistan. and they’ve been using those against the Pakistani military now I don’t know if that’s a fact but this is that’s some of the videos that I’ve been seeing and things I’ve been reading on uh and I noticed that India is also kind of really giving them some support whether it’s it’s not I don’t know why it’s not in any media outlets but it’s it’s a big deal because this could actually be the end of you know Pakistan being the country as it is.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, and as really like the starting ground for a lot of, you know, some of the terrorist factions, et cetera, that we’ve been seeing. And, you know, I’ve always thought, I never understood why the United States didn’t make more, didn’t make greater overtures towards India as an ally in, you know, business, tech, trade, whatever. And it was always this relationship with China. Now the tensions with China are increasing. China, obviously, and Pakistan are, You know, they have an alliance. China is you know, we they were rushing in into Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul, immediately trying to talk to the Taliban about seizing up mineral rights. The interesting thing with Balochistan and you just touched on something was that when Pakistan, from what I understand, that separation from India, they didn’t want to they didn’t they felt that they were underrepresented and that it was like Hindu dominated. But then what are they doing? to the people in Balochistan. I mean, they basically, from what I understand, were enacting the same sort of treatment on others that they claimed they were receiving from India.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I mean, they were exploiting that region for all the minerals and all the rights there. And China is kind of going right into the area. And they want all those mineral rights, too. So China is backing Pakistan in this. And it seems like there’s a lot more under the surface that’s not being brought out. And Balochistan just wants people from Balochistan, the leadership and all those people, just the regular everyday people, they’ve been kidnapped. They’ve been treated like they’re second-class citizens in their own country. So they just want their own.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s horrifying to read some of the things that they’ve been enduring. And it’s horrifying to think, too, if China wins out in influence in that area and backs Pakistan. I mean, what would that mean for those people? And what would that mean also for relations, you know, and national security? I mean, national security as it pertains to the United States in that area. I mean, I don’t see a good outcome of China’s dominance in that area with Pakistan.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, if China dominates that area, then I mean, India is going to be on the receiving end of all the issues because they’ll squeeze India and they’ll surround India and take whatever resources economically they’ll crush India.
SPEAKER 13 :
And that’s kind of been happening already with the Pakistan-India conflict because Pakistan attacks India and Indian interests. And then when India responds, it’s called a retaliation. It’s like they responded. The escalation came from being attacked, not from responding and defending yourself against an attack.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. And there’s actually proof out there that there’s tunnels that are going from Pakistan-controlled Kashmir into India. Sounds like gossip. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And they are, you know, they’re able to send terrorists over and, you know, accomplish their missions and then they just hide back. Why isn’t Pakistan actually finding those terrorists instead of blaming India, they should be joining India and helping find the people who are responsible for this, rather than saying we have no, we take no blame in this.
SPEAKER 13 :
Right. But on their own, there’s no way I can imagine that they would be able to sustain or do what they’re doing. I mean, I mean, clearly, it seems like nobody, you know, officially wants to come out and say it. But I mean, obviously, they have an alliance, you know, with either China or Iran, some they have an alliance that’s like helping them with us.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I think it’s China, because there’s a there’s a northern part of Kashmir, which is controlled by China. And that they’re trying to, you know, re, reinstall the Silk Road from, you know, the Middle Ages and all that they want to, they want to go right through Kashmir. And it’s going to actually create another pathway into Balochistan to get the minerals from there.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s that economic corridor that’s been so often mentioned. there with with China and Pakistan. We’re talking with our friend Karan Pooji over this issue with India and Pakistan and the emergence of a new republic, Balochistan. Why do you think that the U.N. is so hesitant to recognize them? I mean, they do posture as recognizing and fighting for, you know, overpowered nations or nations under threat. But yet there’s nothing there’s been nothing from them on this issue.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. I mean, it’s weird to me that this happened. It happened just a few days ago on the 9th, I believe, of May. But obviously, they’re going to be hesitant because there’s two nuclear powers that are about to go to war. And then you have China and Afghanistan, everybody surrounding this area. I mean, this could be It could go really well or it could go extremely poorly, and we could see the start of World War III then.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. I mean, it could go sideways in the most horrible ways very quickly. I know that when POTUS was traveling in the Middle East, he was asked about India and Pakistan, and he was saying that he hoped that both sides… He didn’t… Obviously, I feel like he’s been when he met with Modi, he’s been very friendly towards India. And he just seemed to kind of triangulate, stay 30,000 feet above it. Like, we hope there’s peace. We hope everyone, you know, kind of backs down and backs away from these tensions rising further. But I kind of think that if it was to escalate, I mean, obviously, I don’t think the administration is going to. is going to come down on the side of Pakistan or anything of that nature. What significance would there be in the administration, strategic significance, in acknowledging Balochistan in this? What tactic, what purpose would that serve to help quell this? Or, I mean, it could maybe inflame tensions more.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I mean, if the U.S. gets involved, if they get involved on the Balochistan side, then that’ll ruin the relationship between Pakistan and the US but it could increase the relationship between the Indians and do we have a great relationship with Pakistan at this point in 47 when when um when the partition happened India went with Russia versus the US because the US backed Pakistan from the beginning they wanted the air bases they wanted all all the whatever other strategic location from that, because I guess they were closer to Iran, they were closer to the Middle East. So they didn’t back India in that. So it started off pretty rocky with India and the US, but now hopefully things will get better. Yeah, things have changed a lot since I think the 40s as well.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, they’ve changed a lot since the 40s as well. And with the partition, we’re talking we’re talking with our friend who’s not just a history buff. He ran for Missouri House of Representatives for my home state of Missouri, Karampuji, on this issue of India and Pakistan and Balochistan, which is a new republic emerging. Pakistan doesn’t want to lose that. I mean, they would lose that sea access, too, from what I understand. I don’t think that they would have any they wouldn’t they wouldn’t have any coastal regions left.
SPEAKER 05 :
They would have a very small coastal region in the Senate. Or Karachi is.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yes, yeah, right, Karachi. So that would be it. That would be it on the Gulf of Ma’at. That would be all that they have right there. And obviously, they would probably push back against that. How does India factor into this with Balochistan?
SPEAKER 05 :
India has been completely silent, but apparently some reports are showing that they are actually supportive of it. Because for India, it’s great because that breaks up Pakistan.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, you’re dividing and conquering.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, exactly. So that gives them a strategic… That gives them a strategic advantage if that were to happen.
SPEAKER 13 :
And the scary thing, too, and I think everyone sort of realized this for the first time after the fall of Kabul, is, oh, my gosh, China and minerals in this area and the economic corridors and the relationships that they would be building with these factions that… are incredibly hostile to the United States. I mean, in addition to being hostile to India as well, which I think is a natural ally to the United States. That is, I mean, the emergence of Balochistan. I just have a very Sun Tzu look at this. It’s like, okay, well, it’s divide and conquer. Nobody has to even do really anything except say, yeah, they don’t they don’t really want to fall under the very despotic dominion of Pakistani leadership. So it makes sense that they would want to break away and be their own republic. I’ll give you the last word on this, because obviously it’s a new issue. It’s a developing story and it’s one that we’re going to continue to watch. But your final thoughts on this.
SPEAKER 05 :
My final thoughts on Pakistan is they’ve not shown any kind of consistency since they’ve been a country. I have a lot of friends from Pakistan, some of my best friends are, but I think their government is very dysfunctional. They have not had a single prime minister serve a full term since the creation of the country. So naturally, I don’t think that it’s a united country. with all the states the way they are. I think there’s Punjab, there’s the Northwest Frontier Province, which is mostly the Bataans and the Pashtuns, and then they have the Sindh and they have Balochistan. And none of those people, they don’t mesh together. They don’t identify with each other. So I think that it could be a good thing. But at the same time, it’s a very, very sensitive subject.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, exactly. This is one definitely to watch. Karan Pooji, thank you so much for coming on to talk about this. We’d love to have you back explore this further, because obviously this is not going to be the final development of this. And I think it’s just the beginning of an issue that’s going to have long, long lasting impact. It’s reshaping a region. So we’re going to keep an eye on it. It’s good to see you. Thanks so much for coming on today.
SPEAKER 05 :

SPEAKER 13 :
Welcome back. I know it’s kind of gets into the weeds and that’s a very new issue. But you have to look at it overall and talking about Balochistan and the context of China exploiting a region and the United States needing to recognize another great potential ally in that region. You know, India is a very conservative nation. They are very open in terms of accepting and practicing capitalism. And there’s a lot of gains to be had there. And they’re a huge geopolitical threat to China. India does not have plans for world domination, but China sure as hell does. And with Balochistan, it kind of reminds me in a way of like the Kurds in the 90s with fighting Gazan tactics. Very interesting. Today in Stupidity, Cain.
