SPEAKER 04 :
In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Verizon thought of a lot of different ways we could show our appreciation. Like rolling out the red carpet. Giving you your own personal marching band. or throwing a bumping shindig. At Verizon, we’re doing all that in the form of special military offers. That’s why this month only, we’re giving military and veteran families a $200 Verizon gift card and a phone on us with a select trade-in and a new line on select unlimited plans.

SPEAKER 17 :
The Secretary has laid out an objective of obviously getting our deficits down to 3% of GDP. Through strong economic growth, through the tax policy that we want to extend that the President put forward, I believe that’s one piece of the puzzle that we must go do. But right now, we are not going to address the key drivers of spending that will make it impossible for the President and the Secretary to achieve that objective. Bond markets are on a knife’s edge. You know that and I know that. And that is necessary for the free flow of capital to have that economic growth. If we continue to allow Medicaid to consume our budget and allow us to continue to drive that budget up so deficits go up, then we’re not going to be able to achieve those objectives. Medicaid right now is now a trillion dollar higher baseline than when we came in under Biden.
SPEAKER 02 :
And one of the things people aren’t talking about, it’s all the fraud that’s endemic in Medicare. I mean, there’s so much fraud. And I mean, let’s just say nothing to say nothing about the issue with the illegal immigration and how that’s all illegal. compounding this further. I mean, I mean, it’s crazy. I mean, it’s it’s it’s just, you know, it’s a nutty thing to think that we can’t cut like waste, fraud and abuse, which is all this has ever been. And Democrats and then you have Republicans, too, are freaking out about all of this. Because they don’t know how to explain getting less money to their districts. They always want to look like they’re bringing home the bacon, right? That’s the whole pork barrel spending politics. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour on Thursday. POTUS is wrapping up his Middle East tour. And there were some commitments scored, apparently, as well as, I guess, some investment deals. And we’ll see how that is. I mean, the thing is, is that you can have UAE, you can have anybody, you can have all of these people involved. Invest, quote unquote, invest, you know, as much as you as much as you want. But if you’re not fixing the problems here with deregulation, then all of this is stupid. Where, by the way, why doesn’t why don’t Republicans send Chip Roy out more? To talk about this stuff. Because he can message it. He messages it quite well. But the problem is, of course, you have some big spenders within the GOP who don’t want him to talk. Because it makes everything harder for them. I’m not happy with this stuff. And I know people are like, well, you’ve got to compromise. I’m so damn tired of hearing that from people. Because I’ve heard that my entire life. We’ve got to compromise, like as though compromising with people with some of these big spenders is going to somehow get us to the point of fiscal sanity, you know, and it’s not going to. It never has. It never has. So I’m just I’m a little aggravated about the state of things because I don’t I mean, I’m not I don’t see any cuts. I’m not seeing any savings. I’m not seeing any of this stuff. And I don’t know, where’s the RNC? We heard so much about the RNC. They’re worthless. Is Lara Trump still running the RNC? Who the hell’s running the RNC? I mean, I would just think if you’re running the RNC, if I was the daughter-in-law running the RNC, I would be damn sure that every resource I had was out there to make sure this agenda got passed. And I don’t see it. Because you have midterms coming up. I would be tying people’s support From the administration and report and support from the RNC, I would absolutely be tying that to, OK, well, how did you vote on tax cuts? How did you vote on this issue? How did you vote on that issue? That’s I mean, that’s exactly how I would be working this thing. So I don’t know where they’re at. I got friends that work in politics and they’re all over the nation and they’re not seeing them in their states either. I mean, this could be this. I mean, it’s it just is. It’s incredibly frustrating. So we can have all this investment all we want to. But when you’re not changing things. here with domestic policy, that is a major issue. When you’re not changing it domestically, when you have the same Biden level regulations and the same Biden level spending, and none of that’s being remedied, you are going to have the same problem over and over again. And I just think that that’s insane to think that we’re just going to be able to change something top down and that that’s going to fix the issue. This issue predates it. It’s longstanding. And again, too, you’ve seen the people freaking out over any kind of proposal of austerity. We talked about Greece yesterday and how people rioted and everybody across Europe and, you know, Democrats and even Republicans saw that. We’re like, oh, my gosh, you know, we can’t we can’t can’t do that. We’re not ever going to be able to we’re not ever going to be able to do something like that. So, you know, we it’s it’s something that we’re going to have to I don’t know, is the right ready to have a discussion about it? I don’t know. I don’t know. They’ve got they have to be able they’ve got to be comfortable being on offense and they’re not. Republicans suck at offense so bad, so bad still to this day. That’s never changed. Like, for instance, Medicaid. Democrats are trying to make it to where you cannot remove people who are not legal in the country off of Medicaid. Off of Medicaid. Huge issue. This is part of the waste, fraud and abuse. It is a significant portion of it. And we went state by state yesterday because remember how one of the proposals and again, it’s all draft with the reconciliation. It’s all draft. But one of the one of the proposals was if states cannot guarantee that X amount of X percentage of people that are receiving these funds, you know that they’re not duping the system, then they have to pay. You know, they have to pay for it. They have to pay for like 50 cents. They have to pay for over half of it, which is could wind up being billions of dollars. And they had to prove that they had X percentage that they could account for. And most states can’t. And so now the states are angry. Democrats just discovered the 10th Amendment. Now they’re very angry about it. I mean, I don’t know. This is something Republicans have got to go on offense on this stuff, and they’re not doing it. They’re not doing it. So I’m frustrated. And I know everyone’s like, oh, well, can’t you just revel? And no, you know what? Everybody’s sitting back and reveling in fear of victories is exactly how we got into this position. It is exactly how we got here. So we’ve got the president over touring Saudi. Well, he was in Saudi Arabia. Then he was in Qatar. He’s in UAE. And the I thought the videos are pretty amazing coming out of all of it. He walked into one palace the other day and was saying that was it I guess was it in UAE? He walked into one of the palaces and said, nice house. And I just thought it was hysterical. I don’t know why, but I just thought it was funny. I’ve noticed that they have like a lot of like liminal space over there. With all of their grand palaces, etc. I thought that was very interesting as well. So we’re going to get into all of that. We’re also going to discuss some of the latest with immigration and refugees. And we’ve got to discuss the 2028 and what some Democrats are positioning themselves to do. I’m going through my list here. I’ve got some funny stuff for you as well. And, of course, that hearing yesterday, you had the Ben & Jerry’s guy. Although, Ben & Jerry’s, it’s not owned by those two hippies, right? It’s owned by Unilever. Yeah. So they don’t even own the ice cream anymore. But they were interrupting that yesterday. So we’ve got a lot of stuff to discuss today. So, anyway, welcome. The… Other big issue is what’s happening with the Supreme Court today with birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions. This is another significant issue. Birthright citizenship. Yeah, we’re going to have a discussion about that. It’s a very big day because you have those two. You have those issues that are making it. And there’s the hope that they’re going to end these nationwide injunctions, you know, maybe perhaps once and for all, that would be nice. But I was looking at some of the arguments, like the court has to decide whether or not they’re going to allow these nationwide injunctions. And the court has protected this for quite some time. So this is going to be interesting. It’s some of the most important oral arguments, I think, that we’re going to have on all of this. But A very big day for that as well, because the birthright citizenship, that’s been a debate for quite a long time. And I’m actually it’s sort of wild that it’s taken this long for it to make make its way up to the Supreme Court. And then in addition to that, we have Trump urging Apple to shift manufacturing from India to the U.S. So it went from China. They were moving a lot of stuff from China to India. And now POTUS is wanting to move some of that from India to the United States, which I think that’s what everybody would like, the onshoring of all of this stuff. But if it has to be somewhere other than the United States, I would like for it to be with a geopolitical perspective. opponent of china i think i feel comfortable with that you don’t have any objections to india right came yeah i mean i’m all right i’m all right with it as long as it’s not as long as it’s coming out of china they’ve been ramping up their operations there it’s part of their diversity they did specifically to shift from china and expand the diversification of their supply chain so they actually have uh three huge plants there and apparently they were getting ready to expand and construct some more but they’ve i think it was a 60 increase in the manufacturing in india from china as they are trying to wind all of that down so interesting i whatever reason look again You make it, you deregulate, you make things a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit better for businesses here in the United States. And you’re going to have less of a difficult time trying to get people to onshore. So a lot of stuff happening today. And I think the is the president expected to give some remarks later today? I don’t think so. He’s been on literally every day, every day. In fact, Biden aides were like, wow, he’s doing a lot. There was a clip that I saw. I don’t want to play because I hate all the people that were on it. But CNN, MSNBC, they were discussing, wow, he’s actually doing quite a lot. You know, his foreign policy moves. He’s he’s he’s traveling and talking to a lot of leaders and seemingly bringing them to our side. Can you imagine Biden going to the Middle East? Because I don’t know how you sleep. While everybody was sleeping, they were doing a lot of, you know, they had a lot of business. But I can’t even imagine him being there in UAE and going to, well, Saudi Arabia, he kind of embarrassed himself. and then went with hat in hand. I mean, it’s pretty wild, the difference 20 years makes. One of the things we’re going to discuss here coming up is now the leadership of Syria, where they were just like a couple of years ago. Because you had an Iranian-friendly, an Iran-friendly Assad, and now you have a leader who is a jihadist. Now the leader of Syria, who is a jihadist, he is not Iran-friendly. So are you noticing a trend here? It’s a very interesting trend. We’re going to discuss that because there’s a lot of stuff shifting over in the Middle East that is going to have long-lasting impact on what we do here. So those are some of the things we’re going to be discussing today. Our partners at Preborn, great organization. that helps women who are facing unplanned pregnancies.

SPEAKER 08 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
So apparently bald dudes are bringing back the toupee. Will women get extensions? Man, let me tell you something. You don’t let a broad make fun of you for wearing a toupee because these girls out here getting like five foot long extensions put up on their head. If they’re not getting extensions put up on their eyelashes. So you know what? You don’t get no heat for that. Take that to the bank. But they are bringing it back. I would imagine, too, that they are much nicer than they were like when I was a kid. Because when I was a kid, it was very obvious that somebody had a toupee. So they said that, this is a New York Post piece, and they said that men are bringing them back. I also thought dudes were doing like the hair plugs or whatever. Maybe, maybe not. But yeah, toupees are coming back. They’re coming back again. An ancient reptile footprint has upended theories about when animals evolved to live on land. There was a little short that Monty Python had one time where they took like this bone of something and fabricated it into a completely made up animal and put it in a museum. It was one of their little cartoon breaks that they had for Monty Python. And it makes me, these kind of stories make me think of this every time. It’s a 350 million year old fossil. And they said it shows characteristics similar to that of monitor lizards. And it’s been in Australia 350 million years ago, they suggested, when it emerged. But they think that animals developed the ability to live on land faster than previously assumed. I actually don’t really care about any of that. I mean, I think it’s interesting, but does it matter? Oh, is it a billion years earlier or not? Does it change where we are right now? I don’t know. Oh, this is really gross. Chimpanzees actually use leaves. It’s gross, but not. They clean themselves. Like, that’s nature’s tissue for them. The leaves. It’s nature’s tissue. They’ve been studying them. The horrible left-wing rag that is called the Guardian said that they did this study on all of these chimpanzees. Have they always done that, or is that new?
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, leaves have been around forever. Bad ape.
SPEAKER 02 :
What?
SPEAKER 08 :
The leaves have been around forever, so I imagine they’ve been doing it forever.
SPEAKER 02 :
But, like, them using them to actually groom themselves with a leaf, it’s kind of… I don’t know. It’s interesting. Air traffic control hotline between Pentagon and Reagan Washington National Airport. That’s been broken since 2022. I think that might be needed. They said that it’s supposed to be for coordinating aircraft and it hasn’t worked since March of 2022. They were not aware that the direct line was broken until a May 1st incident when a helicopter circled the Pentagon and caused two flights to abort landings. I feel like they need to get that hotline fixed. So wait a minute. Poot Booty Juice, when he was secretary of transportation, he didn’t know that.
SPEAKER 08 :
He didn’t do anything about it.
SPEAKER 02 :
He didn’t do anything about it. Sean Duffy gets in there and he’s like, oh my gosh, what is happening? So he immediately remedies it. But what the hell was… Oh, that’s right. Poop Booty Juice had just bought some children and was pretending that he had birthed them in the hospital when he took months off for maternity leave. That’s right. That’s right. The DOD also maintains the hotline, but the fact that you were not able to coordinate… any of that air traffic and you had that issue happen that’s pretty crazy the i read this when i first read this i thought it said a fish cemetery and i was i said what a fisher’s cemetery employee uh he got charged because he dug up a grave for a gold ring sounds like a old Tales from the Crypt story. Seth Davidson, 24, told police that he buried an urn with a gold ring in it and couldn’t stop thinking about it. And so, this is in Indianapolis. He apparently dug it up. He grave robbed. We don’t do that anymore. We don’t grave rob. We haven’t done that since… Well, hell, I don’t know, at least 100 years. We don’t grave rob anymore, but not this guy. There were reports of a suspicious car in the area, and that’s what tipped off police to find him. We have a lot more in store, all of the latest, SCOTUS and more. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 12 :
make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the dana show podcast your on-the-go guide for getting up to speed on today’s most important stories subscribe on youtube apple or your favorite podcast platform oh i agree it should be about me and as as you’ve reported you know look at the thousands of people fleeing war and violence people who are waking up dead around the world people who have helped our military that are being left in camps On a daily basis, while white Afrikaners have been fast-tracked, you’re right, it is about need. And if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line. When you look at the fact that the entire refugee resettlement program in the United States has been totally gutted, that almost no refugees have been admitted since January, and the only ones that are being admitted are white Afrikaners, I don’t know what that says.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, I remember Democrats. They had a problem with Cubans when they were coming in. They had a problem with those refugees. Welcome back. That’s one of the false shepherds with the cult that I call the Episcopal Church. I’m not a fan of it. I don’t like anybody that ordains trans priests, celebrates abortion, rejects biblical definition of marriage and then calls themselves shepherds. Get behind me, Satan. And you have this, you know, Tim Walsh wannabe. who’s sitting there on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN saying that these people who are literally fleeing murder jumped the line. Tell me you don’t understand how the refugee program works without telling me you don’t understand how the refugee program works. I mean, I some of the you know why this is why people stopped going to church because of clowns like that. That guy, I can’t say if you got my piece last night for Substack, I told you I sat on it for 24 hours. It’s true. I mean, they finally discovered refugees that they hate because they’re white. And this guy, this you can tell that this white whatever minister, what is he, a bishop? He’s a bishop with the quote unquote Episcopal Church. They’ve been hunting down entire families and brutally executing children. There was a story of a family because they’re white. There was a story of a family, generational farmers. It was the Lindley murders. And they convicted six men, a family and their two-year-old daughter were brutally butchered. And they waited to chop up the little girl last. They made sure that she got a front row seat to watching her parents get tortured. The women get raped. Imagine your toddler daughter watching you be raped to death and then have your arms hacked off and then your ankles hacked off. And then bit by bit, you’re chopped up like steak in front of your child for the crime of being a farmer whose family has been there for hundreds of years in South Africa because your skin is the wrong color. Because that’s exactly what happened in this story. Notice that that bishop doesn’t have any sad words for the Lindley, the victims in the Lindley murders. I mean, there’s more. I could give you a ton more examples, but you wouldn’t be able to listen to the rest of the segment because it’s so grisly. They’re just one family. That’s just one story. There’s tons of them, tons of them. But you have these historically illiterate, you know, want to be white saviors, these these communists. And that’s what they are. They had only, what, 50 some of them that arrived over here and they didn’t jump the line. That’s what the refugee program, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Simply trying to come into the country, not because you’re fleeing for your life, but because you just want to come in and you want to be fast tracked. That’s not the way it works. These people stayed in South Africa and they filled out the appropriate paperwork for to be admitted and considered as refugees. Then they were allowed in. People don’t realize that they filled this stuff out forever ago and just kind of crossed their fingers and hope they weren’t murdered before it was considered. That’s how that process works. They were able to get here because they’re literally murdering them. Tons of them. And the Episcopal Church, these devils, the bunch of demons that were priest vestments, they have a problem with it because they’re white. Oh, you know, our good Christian charity just doesn’t allow us to help people fleeing racial genocide. That’s a bridge too far. These clown turds were getting our tax dollars. That bishop that you just heard, that was last night. They received our tax dollars literally to help resettle illegal immigrants in the United States. Not exaggerating. We’ve talked about all of these NGOs and all of these other entities. They operate under the flag of Christianity, but they flout law and, you know, being lawless. I mean, we can revisit what the New Testament says about that. We can revisit Paul’s numerous letters where he extols the virtue of following the law. I mean, we can go on and on. But They received lots of millions of dollars to resettle or to settle illegal immigrants in this country. And now they just because in order to continue to receiving those federal dollars, they would have to agree to help resettle even people from South Africa. And that’s when they they didn’t want to meet those requirements anymore. They were they were done with it. That’s that’s the reality to hear that. Oh, well, they were fast track. That’s absolutely offensive. That is incredibly offensive. Incredibly offensive. I mean, they one of the things that I had heard is, oh, well, why don’t they just go back to where they came from? Well, you go back to where you came from then, because those people have been here for over 400 years. But they think that that’s a fitting punishment. In 2023, 45 white farmers were murdered in South Africa. The murder rate is a staggering 150 per 100,000. There are only in South Africa fewer than 30,000 commercial farmers remaining. That rate of death actually exceeds the United States Army’s death rate. And that was at the peak that compared to 120 per 100K. That was the peak of the Afghanistan-Iraq war in 2009. There’s a story, I won’t get too much in the details because I couldn’t even read it all, where another family that was a farmer, they took their infant, they had a baby, they had a three-month-old, and they drowned her in front of the family before they killed everybody else. So I’m telling you, these are not unusual or exceptional stories. Those are regular stories. That’s how that’s happening in South Africa. That’s not hyperbole. And of course, you know, you have the law where they can confiscate your land based on your race. That was signed into law just last year. And the African National Congress, the ruling party, they said that if you’re leaving, you’re a coward. They think you should stay and reap the punishment. They literally phrase it like it’s accountability. And then let’s not forget one of the other major parties there, the Economic Freedom Fighters, a bunch of illiterate communists. And their thug, Julius Malema, led a stadium of communists screaming, kill the white farmer. Yeah. The ANC literally said they’re fleeing from persecution, not from persecution, but from injustice and equality and accountability for historic privilege or from justice. They’re escaping from justice and trying to escape their accountability for historic privilege. And if you’re the Episcopal Church, so you think that the sin of someone’s ancestors hundreds of years ago, they should be responsible for that, because if that’s where you stand, then please explain to me Jesus’s lineage. I’ll wait. Let’s go back to David. Let’s go back even further than that. Since you think that that sin carries down through generation after generation after generation, and then you tell me why you worship someone that comes with such a lineage because you miss the point of how God is glorified and how even imperfect people can be used and imperfect histories can be used. But that’s beside the point. These people are false Christians. The Episcopal Church is a joke. Their bishops are a joke. People should leave that and go find an actual church that follows actual scripture. I just find this disgusting. This is no different than when they tried to burn down the church there in D.C. Same thing. Remember? And then what happened? Those leaders came out and said, oh, well, it’s Trump’s fault. It’s all Donald Trump. Because burn loot murder tried to burn down a church. I mean, they literally set it on fire. No, but hey, MS-13 gangbangers. Pretty, pretty amazing, right? You think that anybody’s going to go have margaritas with the South African refugees? You think anyone’s going to ask them how many of their family members were murdered? Hint, several. No. No, South Africa is ruled by thugs who want to settle scores with the same savagery and evil that they pretend to oppose. And then you got a fake church that gets taxpayer dollars. You would all fall out if you knew how much money that church got. Millions. They get taxpayer dollars and then they want to look the other way because of race. Just sickening. Absolutely sickening. Yeah, due process. Where’s the due? Yeah, they’re going to talk about that again. Speaking of due process, hold up. So you know that Wisconsin judge who got indicted on charges that she helped immigrants evade Well, they say immigrants. It’s illegal aliens evade arrest. Judge Hannah Dugan. This is why language is important. Hannah Dugan was accused of helping the illegal alien run away from federal agents and they were waiting to arrest him outside of her courtroom. Well, now she’s indicted. She ought to be. Everybody’s equal under the law, right? Or are they due process? Here’s your guys due process. Yay. Due process is so great. Except when it’s not, if you’re a Democrat. This story related a Colorado prosecutor is offered an unlicensed illegal alien probation after a deadly crash. This is an Arafah district attorney’s office out there. They’re defending their decision. It’s an illegal alien who is didn’t have a driver’s license, was in the country illegally, was operating a vehicle without a license, no insurance, no nothing. And he killed a woman. It happened last year in Aurora. The victim, Caitlin Weaver, was headed home from work when this Jeep, driven by this illegal alien, blasted through a residential neighborhood at top speed and slammed into her car. This driver was going over 90 miles per hour in a subdivision. Yeah. She didn’t even see him coming. She had no idea. She was killed instantly. That’s the only, I hate saying it, but that’s the only silver lining was that she wasn’t in pain when she was murdered. She was immediately out. They tried to keep her on life support, but it didn’t work. She was gone. She was gone. She was gone. She volunteered for a suicide hotline. She worked with drug addicts at a center in Aurora. She was really trying to help people get back on their feet after battling addiction, reclaim their lives. The illegal alien had other kids in the car with him. He was charged with vehicular homicide. He’s 15 years old and the state law shielded him from being publicly identified. So the prosecutor said that they were going to pursue the maximum sentence of two years in youth corrections. And that changed after the DA’s office underwent new leadership and the illegal alien was offered two years probation and that’s it. And that’s it. You know, the point was made that if he had taken a gun and shot someone, it would be a different case. But because he used a car to kill someone, there’s no financial liability. The family, all the medical bills for the very, you know, 24 hours that she lived after, they’re stuck with all those bills. The Jeep was uninsured. He had stolen it. And so nobody’s responsible there. The family’s on the hook for it. Where are Democrats with due process again? Can I hear more about due process from Democrats? Ms. Weaver had her organ donation information filled out, so she donated her organs. And the illegal alien, he’s now filed for asylum. I don’t care if he’s 15. Death penalty. You know what you’re doing. I’m so done with this. You know what you’re doing. Yeah, so he’s walking. He’s going to be able to live his life, and he’s going to be coddled by the state that values people based on race more than others. Due process again. Where’s the Episcopal church for that family? Where are these fat cat bishops in that church? Sickening. GoldCo is making it easy to take that first step toward protecting your savings.

SPEAKER 13 :
But I talked to my psychopharm guy from New York and said, you know, because I have been using rem… No, what is it called? Trazodone to sleep. And Trazodone is not really a sleeping aid. It’s a depression medication, usually for people who are addicted to something. That’s what I read, at least online. I’m not addicted to anything. And, well, I was sugar, but that’s over. Thank you, Banjaro. So I asked him if I could get Xanax because, you know, Xanax, To sleep is fantastic. You take one, it puts you to sleep. And to me, I sleep the whole night. But he’s like, I don’t like to give Xanax. I’m like, you’ve been my shrink for so long. I’ve never abused any kind of med. I don’t know why people would abuse Xanax because all it does is make you sleep.
SPEAKER 02 :
So she’s mad because she can’t get Xanax in Ireland because, you know, she moved to Ireland. Yeah. Maybe just try getting off your ass and exercising and getting tired from that. Does that mean to say? I don’t know. I don’t like all the prescriptions for everything.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s good, solid, healthy advice.
SPEAKER 02 :
Take a melatonin. You know, that’s like actually an antiviral thing. Melatonin. Take a melatonin. I take 10 milligrams of melatonin a night. Here’s a weird idea. Works like a dream.
SPEAKER 08 :
Here’s a crazy, weird idea. She’s in Ireland.
SPEAKER 02 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t know, a whiskey, some sort of bourbon.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, there’s a lot of pretty stuff to look at there. Walk around, you know, get outside, get some of that fresh Irish air. And I’m just saying.
SPEAKER 08 :
Seems like there’s a few things she could do to help her sleep.
SPEAKER 02 :
She’s like, doesn’t work. So why is she so stressed out? She sounds like, I don’t know, like it’s just like the height of entitlement. Why are you so stressed out? Just you don’t do anything. You’re sitting over there in Ireland, not doing anything. I just can’t sleep. I need a Xanax. I think maybe you have too many things you’re taking. That’s also kind of, you know, maybe a possibility. I don’t like this. Like, I just need a prescription to take for medicine to go to sleep. I mean, there might be some people by nature of stressful work or whatever that they have to if they work weird hours. But, you know, melatonin is pretty good. I don’t know. I just don’t. So she moved to Ireland and every video that she has made has been her complaining about something she’s unhappy about since she’s moved to Ireland. And I read that she actually is considering not staying there. I don’t want her back. Just keep her. Just stay there. Can we just like put a sign out in America’s Closed and put one of those velvet ropes in front? Or put like one of those sandwich boards, like wet floor, America’s Closed. You can’t come in. Can we do that? Don’t come back.
SPEAKER 08 :
Have a moose hold the sign.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, have the moose hold it. We might get hit by a solar eruption tomorrow. Oh, I’m praying we do. We got a lot more on the way. Second hour. Stick with us. 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 caring 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 burner 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 that 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 7 inches long, really thin, and 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 dot com slash Dana.

The mighty H.G. Baird is here tonight to call upon a righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times.

SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. So Bruce Springsteen decides to wait till he goes to England and then run his mouth about the U.S. government. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. I got my criticisms of the administration, but I’m not going to go to a foreign country and be like run my mouth about it. Can I just say that I think he’s entirely overrated? Get mad, because he is. You know he’s overrated. You know who else is overrated? Barbra Streisand. Overrated AF. Welcome back to the show. Let’s make everybody mad today. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour. He is. He’s overrated. And whenever he plays his guitar, he looks like he’s struggling with constipation. Because he probably is. Yeah, and you guys know it. He’s like literally dry as a box of Wheaties. He’s… Anyway, so that like he decided to go. I’m trying to these people use words that they don’t understand. So anyway, real quick. Welcome back. Channel 347 is where you can also stream the radio program. The chat is at Rumble and it’s this. It’s a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous. What does he think treason is? I love these people that use these big words. Treasonous. Well, what does that mean to you? What classifies particularly, be specific, as treason to you, Bruce? Specifically. He probably, he wouldn’t even be able to define it on his own, much less give you a solid example of what he thinks is treasonous from the administration. Now, like I said, I’ve got, I call balls and strikes and I hate treason. I have an adversarial relationship with government in that that’s how we’re supposed to be because we’re patriots. We’re not supposed to be besties with government. Real patriots, when they feel like their government’s trying to get too buddy-buddy with them, they kind of freak out a little bit. And that’s that animating spirit of liberty that you’re either born with here or that develops in you when you come here and you join this American family. Everybody knows it. Just you know what that is. I’m just, but to say treasonous, what actually specifically is treasonous? What I think is treasonous, I mean, I don’t know. I could go on. I mean, I could get personal and talk about how he slept around on his wife, but I’m not going to do that because I am a good person, Cain, right? I’m a nice person. I’m not going to talk about that broken promise, that broken covenant.
SPEAKER 08 :
That is very gracious of you.
SPEAKER 02 :
I feel like I need… To not mention it. Yeah, his affair, and it was a television actress, and he really humiliated her on a public stage, but that’s okay. I’m not going to talk about any of that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Credit where credit’s due.
SPEAKER 02 :
He had said during an interview with Variety in 2017, he’s like, I still believe people fundamentally come to be entertained and I want to blah, blah, blah. Then entertain them. Know what? Me wanting a political opinion from Bruce Springsteen is like me going to Joe Biden for gun suggestions. Right. Or firearm advice or something like that. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t mind if people have their opinions, but when you’re over in a foreign country and you’re running your mouth and saying stuff like that, I mean, treason, when you talk about treason, you know what the punishment for that is, correct? Okay, so words have meanings. And let’s be proper about it. If you disagree with the administration, you can say, I disagree, and this is what I don’t like. But to be like, well, it’s treason. Like, what is that? What does that even mean? It’s just stupid. You know, it’s weird to see people who are feted by our society for being like the upper echelon of their skill set, their artist or whatever. And they’re celebrated. And then they say completely stupid things that make me think that the actual dumbest people on God, the green earth. I don’t know. I mean, I get that he’s still mad over Kamala, but good heavens. Can we talk for just a couple of things here a little bit about the GOP stuff? So I was asking a little bit earlier, you know, where is the RNC? Because I’m a little mad because the big, beautiful bill is a big, beautiful turd. It is horrible. I’m not going to pretend otherwise for clicks. I’m not going to whatever for high fives. I don’t want to be buddy, buddy, chummy, chummy cocktail party invite with my government. I don’t want to because I’m a patriot. But I want exactly what I don’t want tax on Social Security. I don’t want higher taxes, period. I would love for the IRS to be abolished. Absent that, let’s have tax cuts for everybody, not just certain brackets, particularly when the certain brackets pay lower than others. 50% of Americans don’t even pay into the system. That’s not just me pulling a number out of the ether. That is actual data, the latest available from the IRS. 50% of people in this country don’t even pay into the system. And then you have the top percentage that pay literally all of it. So when you’re talking about giving money to people who didn’t pay anything in, you are redistributing wealth. And I remember under Barack Obama, people who claimed the mantle of Republican or conservative or constitutionalist, however you want to put it, they had a problem with that. We all objected to that. I’m not going to like it more if it’s repackaged and tied up with a big bow that has Republican elephants on it. for the sake of pretending to have a win. I’m going to tell you, when your opponent can get you to swallow something that was their idea first, you didn’t win, you lost. And not only did you lose, but you surrendered. So I’m not happy. Like, for instance, this bill as it is, and I know that the House is still fighting over drafting, and I’m being generous in making that distinction. They still include in it all the green new scam stuff. I’m not kidding you. It retains most of the green new scam subsidies for an additional four years. That’s literally all of Trump’s term. So in this bill, if they were to send this draft right now and kick it over and pass it, it would literally fund all of the Green New Deal stuff for the rest of Trump’s term. That’s all in this bill now. And the Inflation Reduction Act, I mean, all the subsidies, all of it’s in there. And they’re outsourcing jobs. Green New Act, the Green New Deal and the Inflation Reduction Act, they all the solar. So for instance, in 2024, solar made up over 60% of all new U.S. electric generation. Who manufactures the vast majority of solar components that we use? Who? Any guesses? China. It’s China. So we’re literally subsidizing China. And our gas and coal, which are plentiful, renewable, it is renewable, and people who argue otherwise literally are too stupid to talk about anything of this issue, that this is literally, this is science. It’s renewable. All of the jobs that are related to those industries, all of that, everything gets kicked to the curb. So this is a Republican bill includes the subsidization of China. It continues all of Biden’s green new scam subsidies. Doesn’t do anything about the volatility or instability of the grid. Doesn’t remedy job loss. And they’re talking about maybe kicking it down the road till 2029. Any kind of repeal of this? What did Republicans tell you after this election? First, what they tell you before? Oh, we got to get all these things so that we can pass this. OK, they got it. Oh, no, we can’t do it now. We got to wait. We got to wait until spring. Remember, I took a lot of hell for that. You guys just remember in January, February. Remember how much you remember the McCarthy fight last year? I took a lot of hell for criticizing Republicans for kicking the can down the road. I said they’re going to do it again. Well, here we are. I look like a soothsayer. I am a modern Nostradamus. They’re going to they want to kick a lot of this stuff. If they’re not able to get all the things with reconciliation, they want to wait till September and then they want to kick all the green new scam stuff down to 2029. So you’re literally funding. So it’s Biden’s term 2.0. They’ve only passed five bills. They’ve only five bills have been passed to sent to POTUS’s desk. He has more EOs because Congress can’t get anything in. He’s got more executive order orders than FDR did. Like tops in history. And everybody’s got a sugar high. They’re out here celebrating prematurely. Sorry, slicks, but all this stuff is going to go away in 2028. Hell, it may go away after midterms at the rate this is going. So I asked back to my question, where’s the RNC? Where are they at with this? I know it’s not popular and you’re not going to get cocktail party invites if you try to hold your party accountable because the new gaslighting is that patriots don’t ask questions of party leadership or party subordinates or anything like that because you’re not being a team player and you’re hurting your own side. They want you to think that accountability, they want to brainwash you into thinking that accountability is a bad thing. We raised hell against the Bush administration for stuff like this. Now, the RNC, you’ve got Michael Watley and Casey Crosby that were handpicked. And Crosby is the member from Kentucky. She’s co-chair Long Wally. So I don’t think Larry Trump is there anymore. That was kind of a short tenure, I think. And Lorraine found a Forbes piece because I’m like, where are first off, if I’m the RNC, let me interrupt myself. If I’m the RNC and I’m seeing that, you know, the president made these promises to voters and he’s not able to get anything done. I’m going to find the vulnerable Republicans and I’m going to come down them on them like Thor’s hammer. Why are you not getting this passed? Do you want access to Republican Congressional Committee campaign dollars? Do you want access to the National Republican Senatorial Committee campaign dollars coming up in midterms? Do you want help from your party as you battle any kind of primary or opponent in a general election? Because if you’re not passing this and you’re not putting every bit of momentum that you have behind it, you’re not going to get any help and you’re going to dangle out in the wind helplessly. I would be threatening them. I would be threatening their very political existence. I don’t know what’s happening. The RNC, though, according to Forbes, and I’ve heard this from a lot of people. Sometimes, different varying degrees, this can happen, but this is kind of, I think, an excess. I know that there are a lot of businesses related to POTUS that are getting RNC money, even while he does all the crypto stuff. So this piece with Forbes kind of was getting into some of that. Forbes isn’t necessarily a totally, they’re kind of a moderate website. But, for instance, the RNC, they spent $300,000 at different business… They spent a lot of money at Mar-a-Lago. If there’s an event at Mar-a-Lago, the RNC pays for the use of Mar-a-Lago. And I think probably one of the reasons that they do that is so he can later claim it, like tax deductions, etc., for tax, you know, whatever. But still… I think that that brings up a lot of questions. You got to be careful, like the hotels and the publishing company for donor mementos, like venue rental, like the Doral, things like that. I think that RNC cash should be spent specifically on supporting and getting elected Republican candidates. That’s what it should be going towards. And if that’s a campaign that has to then do campaign stuff unrelated to that. But we can’t be we can’t be paying people so that they can get tax deductions for their hotels and this and that and this and that. We got to stop this. Where where the hell is the party organization? I see none. I see no effort at all by the RNC. This is some of the weakest RNC leadership I have ever seen. And I’ve criticized almost all of them. Oh, my gosh. What was his name? Michael, the guy who’s on CNN now. Can’t remember his name. Gosh, I can’t remember. Reince Priebus and I, Reince is pretty decent. We went back and forth on things before. Steele, Michael Steele. My gosh, I blasted that guy during the Tea Party days. Oh, he hated me. Hates me still. Hated me. I dragged him up one side and down the other. My gosh, you ought to go back like in the old archives and catch some of that.

So Earth could be hit by a 600,000 mile wide bird wing solar eruption tomorrow per astronomers. So what does that mean? Am I going to get superpowers? What does that mean? Dude. I have got some requests if there’s a superpower I could get. So let me explain. It’s a filament of solar material that’s more than twice as long as the distance from the Earth to the moon. And it could hit Earth tomorrow. So they said that it could be like communications affected, all kinds of stuff. Disruption to electrical equipment.

That is not a hyperbole. It is hyperbole, and it’s stupid and brain-dead and ditzy. First off, that’s AOC. Like, you needed any kind of introduction on that. She’s talking about the big stupid bill, which is funding still all the green new scam stuff. It’s funding, you know, there’s no, you still have taxes on Social Security. There’s no actual, I mean, it’s just, I’m not happy with it. We demanded more. Like, why is it that we ask for a lot, and then voters are told that, no, no, no. No, you only get a little bit. It’s not what we voted for. Jiminy Christmas, man. I’m like back in tea party days, like mentally. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. So she’s talking about this bill where they I told you the three Republicans, one of them is Mike Lawler. I have tweeted about it, a piece that mentioned it over at Substack. But they want they want to keep funding for Planned Parenthood in there still. Funding for Planned Parenthood in it still to this day. And as you know, Planned Parenthood gets like half a billion dollars a year of taxpayer dollars. And this is all publicly available information because they have to report it. Not only do they make a profit, but they have a revenue of taxpayer dollars to the tune of like 460 something million dollars a year. So about half a billion a year. And it’s been increasing year after year. And I it’s stunning to me that there are three Republicans even that are in the House that that don’t want to remove this funding. Now, to her point where it’s going to kill women, I am so tired of these grifter females. telling women that if they don’t get abortion on demand, we’re all going to die. Can we just hold up for a minute and talk about facts here? Pregnancy resource centers outnumber Planned Parenthood clinics three to one in every single state. Every single state. Pregnancy resource centers outnumber They didn’t get under Obamacare. And the reason I know all of this is back during the fight over Obamacare, this was the same argument that came out because Obamacare was going to be funding Planned Parenthood even more. And they were only going to give a pittance to pregnancy resource centers. Now, pregnancy resource centers offer a full suite of services. The other reason I know all of this is because Planned Parenthood was trying to lie and act like they performed mammograms, which they do not. They don’t even have mammography machines. What they do is they want taxpayer dollars to give you a referral to go get one somewhere else. And you pay for it. So that’s all that is. Pregnancy resource centers do all of those things. They have the mammography machines. They offer a full suite of services. And they also, some centers even offer services for dudes. They even offer pediatric care. A full range of services. The one thing that they don’t do is they don’t offer abortions as a form of birth control. And that’s Planned Parenthood’s big business. So pregnancy resource centers, which again outnumber Planned Parenthood and they do birth control and all of that. They just don’t do abortion on demand as birth control. They’re everywhere and they’re ignored and they have to be ignored. Democrats don’t ever talk about them because they get money from Planned Parenthood, that half a billion dollars that we give to Planned Parenthood under threat of force. That is funneled. It’s like 99 percent into Democrat. Actually, it’s all Democrat campaigns. I think they just left a point of one percent off for plausible deniability. But they donate exclusively to Democrats. You can go and look at Open Secrets and see where everybody donates. They donate exclusively to Democrats and have for forever. So it’s our tax dollars being taken from us to fund Democrat campaigns. And they also make money. They make a lot of money. They are they make a lot of profit. On top of getting our taxpayer dollars. And I keep hearing this refrain over and over again. Women are not stupid. We know where babies come from. The audacity is that by making these arguments, you’re intimating that women are stupid and we’re all just cheap bimbos who don’t. Wow, we just fell pregnant. I hate that phrase. It’s like you fell down and found yourself pregnant. You fell down the stairs. You got pregnant. Wow. Who knew? It’s asinine. They don’t save any lives. There’s not anything that they offer that cannot be offered at a pregnancy resource center. It is a scam. And it’s just really just the top of ignorance for a lawmaker to sit there and act like women are going to die if they can’t have abortion as birth control on demand. That’s what this is. That’s what the whole entire argument always is. Now, keep in mind, Democrats also fought like hell, not once, not twice, but three times to stop birth control from being available over the counter. Three separate times in the past, I think, 10 years, Republicans brought that to the floor and Democrats killed it every time.
SPEAKER 1 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 02 :
Why could that be? Well, maybe because they want women chained to the big daddy that is Planned Parenthood. They want women to have to go hands out like Tiny Tim. And beg for birth control. May I have some Planned Parenthood? They want to keep them shackled with limited options, which is ironic for a party that always claims to be about choice, except they’re not. They don’t want you to choose. Did you get to choose whether or not you get a birth control over the counter? Hell no. Democrats made that possible for you. They blocked you from having that choice. The only choice they want you to have is to go to Planned Parenthood so that you can give them and their campaigns more money. That’s what this is all about. And I just think you look like a bimbo when you say these things. And I think you should be publicly ridiculed when you get up there and you play to the worst stereotype of females, when you fulfill the patriarchal stereotype, the progressive patriarchal stereotype of women, when you get up there and you fulfill that with your nonsense. It’s asinine. It’s like these women out there who say that, oh, they weren’t like if they have a miscarriage and, oh, hospitals don’t do DNCs. Well, miscarriage is not a viable pregnancy. That’s not no hospital is going to reject doing that. They think you’re stupid. That’s the sad thing about this. And I’m just I’m just I’m just done with it. It’s infuriating. Also infuriating. Can I play this for a moment? This is I don’t know if we have this. This is, I’m going to drop this in Slack. This is Senator Josh Hawley who’s talking about, and this is all a part of that bill. He tweeted, quote, no Republican should be supporting Medicaid benefit cuts. We’re the party of the working class. Time to start acting like it. I want you to listen to the soundbite.
SPEAKER 16 :
This bill comes over from the House and the Senate and you have to vote on it. Are you know if this bill does not change?
SPEAKER 18 :
I’m not going to support this bill from the House in this form. I think that’s clear. It’s got to change before it can pass the Senate. And I continue to stand by my line in the sand, which is no Medicaid benefit cuts. Listen, if you want to do work requirements, I’m all for that. I bet every Republican and I bet most Americans would agree with that. But we’re not talking here about just work requirements. The House goes much, much, much further than that. This is real Medicaid benefit cuts. I can’t support that. No Republican should support that. We’re the party of the working class, Mono. We need to act like it.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, so this is an issue. I don’t like the language. And this is all coming from the issue that I was telling you about. What was it yesterday that’s been proposed where… Republicans are looking for savings and they’re looking at states that have Medicaid fraud and abuse and telling states you need to meet this percentage of fraud reduction. And if you don’t, you’re going to have to pay for this yourself. And a lot of these other, you know, making sure like work requirements or making sure that the money is going towards people who are here legally. And I think those are all opportunities. Those are all things that Josh Hawley missed saying. I don’t want to hear the phrase, no Republican should be supporting Medicaid benefit cuts. We’re the party of the working class. Time to start acting like it. That’s communist language. That’s too big to fail language. We remember the Bushisms, do we not? Tell me that does not sound like Bush League. And I like Josh Hawley. He’s from my home state. We know a lot of the same people. We know each other. But again, I got to call balls and strikes. I don’t care about cocktail party invites. This is too big to fail language. No Republican should be talking about expanding government entitlement. Heaven forbid we talk about the things that empower people to get off Medicaid. Heaven forbid we do that. You know, goodness, let’s ignore everything Ben Franklin said. Let’s ignore the Federalist Papers. Let’s ignore what Hamilton wrote about. Let’s ignore what Adam, let’s just talk about, oh no, we can’t cut it. That sounds exactly like too big to fail. Again, empower people To get off Medicaid. How do you do that? You don’t tax everybody to death, number one. You deregulate. You stop spending everybody’s damn money. But they would rather use this language than do any of the things that I just mentioned. So instead, we got taxed on Social Security. That’s absolutely in the latest draft. I read it to you literally the other day. I linked it in my Substack newsletter that you get as subscribers. It’s all there. This is the problem. There’s so much abuse and so much fraud. I just feel like he was unprepared to answer that. But also, I like Josh Hawley, but there are some things that he says that I’m like, reminds me just a little bit of old school, that era. But no, it is too big to fail language. And it’s, you know, I don’t know. We have to get the entitlement queens and the entitlement queen thinking out of the GOP. That’s not big tent. Big tent, you want to know how the tent grew? And it’s not big tent. That’s a cheap phrase for coalition. You have party and you have coalition. But this is actually a coalition issue. Because what is one of the three things that everybody came together on during the last election? Do you remember? Smart spending. Cutting government entitlement. That was the whole thing. And we just, I don’t know why there’s now we have, and it’s not the people that are coming in to the coalition. It’s the old school Republicans that are saying this stuff. And this is why I’m not a Republican because they’re too moderate for me. They’re too fiscally irresponsible Republicans. and they they get involved in nation building and mission creep and that’s just not where i’ve been but i vote republican generally i vote for the most conservative person on the ticket or i vote to for the position that best advocates what i want what my what me as a voter would like but the thing is is like they don’t actually say okay well the bill cuts medicaid what do you mean how does it cut medicaid work requiring work or demanding work requirements isn’t cutting Medicaid. That’s stupid. So what is exactly cutting Medicaid? Making sure that there’s no fraud and that people who are here illegally don’t get Medicaid dollars because that’s not cutting Medicaid either. So what exactly does it mean? Where is the Medicaid being cut? Because all I see are states, and I don’t even think Medicaid should exist. Me, personally. So I’m telling you, Republicans are too moderate for me. And I can say that, but we can’t put it into action because they’ve refused to do anything else to make that a reality. They want a safety net of government to keep you under control. That’s what this is all about. But where’s it being cut? Demanding that states verify that Medicaid dollars are being spent like actually on legally the people who are here legally and Medicaid issues, not waste, fraud and abuse. How is that a cut to Medicaid? Why are we using Democrat language to avoid accountability? Why are we tolerating this nonsense? I mean, as Kay noted, each of these, we talked about this yesterday, each of these states, they were told, you have to meet the threshold. You have to be able to show that 10%, that under 10% is waste, fraud, and abuse. Anything over that, you’re going to have to foot the bill for. Democrats are apoplectic. Why are we using language of Democrats? Why is any Republican using the language of Democrats to avoid accountability for Medicaid? Why? If you want another Tea Party, this is how you get it. But it doesn’t end well for the Republicans who oppose the grassroots if history has shown us anything. We got a lot more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this hour.

Could Luigi Mangione’s killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO lead to anarchy in America? Pastor Alan Jackson says yes.

SPEAKER 08 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 02 :
I am really mad at this dude. A Florida man was arrested Tuesday because he shot his neighbor’s cow multiple times because he was angry that it had jumped over his fence. It was a two-year-old calf that had at least five gunshot wounds. She had been shot in the chest, the abdomen, or the guts, the rear leg, everything. The animal was lying on the ground struggling to move in a lot of pain as the deputies approached. And it had to be euthanized. And the cow’s owner said his neighbor, Hung Trinh, T-R-I-N-H, 54, was angry. Oh, man. And he used a .22. Like an absolute pansy. Hung Trin, major Florida man pansy, used a .22 to go and shoot this calf. So he’s charged with animal cruelty. I personally think he ought to be dragged behind a truck, but that’s me. Grand theft of a commercial farm animal, according to the sheriff’s office. And I’m glad that the sheriff, Carmine Marceno, went hard on it and was like, we’re not going to tolerate this because it’s a farming community, number one. I mean, there’s a lot of cattle ranchers in this area. And they… I like the way police handled it, but this infuriates me. That’s so ignorant. That is so ignorant. It jumped your fence. Oh, use your little… Use your little sissy boy 22 to go out and handle the cow. Golly. Let’s see. Oh, man bites dog, dog bites man. Coyote attacks Florida man in a shocking junkyard incident. I’m… I can’t get this to open, of course. Of course it would. We’re going to probably have to… I don’t think we’re going to be able to get this one. Yeah, well, I can’t get that either. Yay Safari. I know. Anyway, but I’m mad about the guy that… So the coyote, he attacked a Florida man, shocking junkyard incident. It was on Tuesday, and the guy was going about his usual routine, and he saw this disoriented, rough-looking coyote, and it wandered into his lot, and then it just lunged at him. He said it didn’t just bite and run, that it held onto his arm. And they had to call Florida Wildlife, etc. But that, I mean… That sounds rabid in those instances. They didn’t follow up on that, but I’m sure that they checked it out. Third hour on the way. Partners who helped bring you the program. Home title lock. It’s your greatest asset.

SPEAKER 02 :
So that guy, that’s that Shiri Thandar, I don’t know, the guy who wants to… He wants to impeach Trump again. Jeez. He doesn’t even know all the cities in his district, all the towns in his district. How embarrassing. This guy’s a fool. His hair looks ridiculous. Stop trying to be Javier Malai. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. He’s like the Timu Javier Malai. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this third hour. I said it. It’s true. You can listen to the show everywhere. Channel 347’s DirecTV and all kinds of fun stuff. Yay. Go find us Facebook and YouTube. So, yeah, this I tell you, I’m not. We were talking about the big, beautiful bill, all this stuff. This is what Democrats have been doing. They have nothing else. So let’s go back to the impeachment. Well. Republicans are so inactive. I almost think that they deserve a pummeling at midterm. But at the same time, I don’t want that to happen because guess what happens if they lose? Oh, it’s going to be impeachment. Everything. Yay. I love like being in a Groundhog Day cycle of the same stuff all the time. That’s all they have. All they have. Well, I guess we should impeach him. I don’t like what he said. Guess we should impeach him. I don’t like what he did. Guess we should impeach him. It’s the same stuff every day. And apparently, some Democrats are trying to tell this little fruitcake to shut up. Like, stop trying to push impeachment. That’s not going anywhere. It’s not going anywhere. And he won’t. He’s not listening. He’s like David Hogg, right? He’s like the David Hogg of Congress. So we’ve got a lot of things here to touch on. So… You know, POTUS has been in Middle East stories wrapping that up. And he met with, which I thought was interesting, the head of Syria, their new leader, the interim Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharay, who used to be known by his jihadi sobriquet, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. He met him in Riyadh. And this was… Like literally six months after he came in and toppled the Assad regime. Now, remember what we told you this time about Syrian leadership. You just have different jihadi factions. What I find funny is that the media was trying to downplay this guy’s jihadi background. And now that Trump met him, they’re like, by the way, you know, he used to be a jihadi. Like they’re now they’re like embracing it. He had been previously on the designated global terrorist list in 2013. Because he had up the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria. That’s what – the al-Nusra. He had up al-Nusra, the al-Nusra front. And they rolled in and got rid of Assad. And Assad, Bashar al-Assad, kind of – with Russia and Iran. They were all buddies, right? And also helped facilitate, you know, some of the stuff with regard to Hezbollah, et cetera. So he had been known, he was on the designated global terrorist list, was placed there in 2013, Saudi-born, former jihadist. That’s how he’s been described. So I guess he’s not, you know, jihading anymore. Jihad! I don’t know. Like, I guess he’s not. But… He moved his forces in and then they led, they toppled Assad. Assad had to flee to Russia, if you remember. Now, he’s saying that he’s not going to be a jihadi anymore and that he just wants a government for the people, right, by the people. They all say that. Time will tell. What interests me, and first off, I think when you’re talking about leadership in this part of the world, nobody has clean hands. And I get it that we all want to live in a kitten and sunshine world where it’s all sparkles and rainbow and Datsuns and kittens and yay, lollipops and gummy bears. It’s all so great. I get it. But we don’t live in that world. We live in a reality where there exists some very brutal people and there are some very brutal parts of the world that only respond to brutality. It’s not a justification for it. It’s an explanation. So this guy says he’s not going to be jihadi anymore. And so my interest in this is the positioning of Syria away from Iran. That is what interests me in this, because this isn’t just a regime change. It’s a reset for this area. Remember, it’s Iran versus the Saudis. It’s the Shia versus the Sunni. And this is we’re seeing this like everywhere. You know, part of it is, you know, some of it’s fueling some of the discontent in parts near in entities near India. So he would when he announced that they were going to lift sanctions on Syria, he got a 40 minute standing ovation from people there. The crown prince MBS of Saudi Arabia stood up and applauded him. And POTUS joking was like, oh, what I do for the crown prince now. Some and the left, I think, is trying to understand their position on this. You could argue, oh, well, Trump is embracing this jihadist. And oh, my gosh, look at him. He’s coming in. Well, I realize that there are now some of the factions in the Republican camp. They like to side. Tulsi Gabbard was one of them. They some of them are they think Assad was better than the other jihadis rolling in. And time will tell if that remains to be seen. I mean, I don’t think you’re going to get a great leader over there, but some might be less bad than others. I think is the only way you can put it. But again, the big thing for me is the repositioning of Syria away from Iran. The sanctions that they’ve had on Syria have been, I mean. Gosh, forever. They’ve they’ve been sanctioned for forever. They had tons of sanctions that and they had this it’s called the Caesar Act that was passed in 2019. So what that did is that the white on top of everything else, there were wide ranging restrictions on not just like the government and not just on companies, but even individuals. They were not allowed to. or they would be sanctioned from any economic activity that boosted Assad’s war effort. And so the whole economy was just, you know, you can’t touch it. And the World Bank reported that between 2010 and 2020, Syria’s economy shrank by more than half. And as of 2022, they had poverty affecting 69% of the population. And other Arab nations were hesitant to invest because they didn’t want to get sideways with U.S. sanctions. The Saudis being among them. Qatar being among them. They were looking at investment opportunities. They want to make money and they didn’t want to run afoul, particularly the Saudis of any of this. So they didn’t get involved in it. They everybody was just sort of nobody really did anything was kind of hands off to that extent. So now that he told also Alshara, The part of what the deal would include in lifting these sanctions was normalization, the normalization of relations with Israel. Get rid of the Gaza terrorists. Stop. Stop associating with Iran. Stop doing this with Hezbollah. Stop doing this with Hamas. And then they can release sanctions. And apparently, I agree to it. And so people were celebrating in Syria. They had like fireworks going off. They were on the streets celebrating because it’s going to change their entire economy. You’re going to have Arab states. The Saudis are going to go in and develop and do all of this. And you might look at it like, oh, business. It’s more than that. Think of it as like an actually functioning belt and road against Iran. You’re you’re what’s the word I’m looking for? You’re terraforming, basically, a nation away from Iran. So I think that might help color your perspective of this just a little bit, because that kind of puts it into a better context. That ultimately, I think, is what all of this has been about, because the left, I think they wanted to be apoplectic over this, but there’s a lot more to it than that. And the Syrians responded, I mean, they were thousands in the streets celebrating those. I saw a couple pictures where they were waving, somebody was waving an American flag out there. Now, I’m not I am not sold and I am not persuaded by performative sentiment at all because I am a natural cynic and suspicious of everyone. But what I am persuaded by is the strategy of further isolating Iran, who still calls us the great Satan and still finances the deaths of a lot of soldiers and Americans. And I know people say, well, the Saudis in 9-11. I agree wholeheartedly. it’s not the same people running it today. And I’m not saying that you don’t enter with any kind of caution. And again, I want to reemphasize, it’s not the same faction running it today. It’s a cautious plan. It is a cautious strategy of isolating Iran, which would love nothing more than to obliterate the United States and their partner, Russia and their partner, China. Now you see how this all comes in. It also hits a corridor for China as well. So this is all, all of this, it creates an opportunity for these Gulf states. And it’s been very, very interesting to watch. And China, you know, is watching very closely because they’re Pretty unofficially aligned with Russia and Iran. So this is all very interesting stuff. And that’s what I’ve been most interested in looking as all of this plays out. So I think it’s been, you know, it’s been, I think, a very interesting discussion that they’ve been having. And to see Al Sharae meet the president of the United States, man, that was different, way different than a year ago, wasn’t it? Good night. Way different. So we’ll see. He’s wrapping up that trip right now. And we’ll see how it plays out. Now, a couple of other things. We’ve been talking about the big, beautiful bill. We’re about maybe, I don’t know, how long are we away from a floor vote? Like a week away? I think they’re supposed to have the first floor. Well, they’re anticipating having the first floor vote on it in like a week. Whether that happens or not, we don’t know. But we’ll see. It’s supposed to be a tax and spending bill. And Republicans are very concerned because you remember when Democrats had billed back better. Republicans are concerned. I’m not comparing the bills, but I’m comparing the process. And I think there is some concern amongst Republicans that this bill will will go the same way. That they’re going to have an implosion. And Mike Johnson basically has to have total party support to get this done. And we know that already they don’t, you know, they don’t. And they don’t have a plan B apparently either. That’s the other thing. We’re going to talk more about this here coming up. With All Family Pharmacy, convenience is everything. And they make it so simple.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 02 :
So a second Mexican mayoral candidate was gunned down live on air right ahead of their June 1st elections. A mayoral candidate in Mexico was shot dead by a cartel gunman live on air. The second politician to be killed in the state ahead of the elections on June 1st. Yesina Lara Gutierrez of the Moreno Party was shot and killed on television in the small town of Texas, Tepec, Mexico. in the gulf state this is in vera cruz she was running for re-election it was a facebook live stream and she was greeting people of the town there’s like 20 000 people there uh and uh like shots rang out and someone shot killed her right there just crazy craziness so uh don’t use the smiley face emoji because apparently gen z considers it to be sarcastic So, you know, like the regular, like, plain basic smiley face emoji, right? They said that for everybody else, like, it’s a way of expressing contentment or happiness. But Gen Z, it means sarcasm or irony. So, if someone from Gen Z sends you a smiley face, I feel like they’re just mocking you now at this point, right? Is that what that suggests? I don’t know. I’m like, I’m curious about this. I don’t know. Is this what it seems like? I don’t know. Let’s see. Oh, gosh. Listen to this. So, a Rhode Island man… He is bummed out because he bought a limited edition president-themed watch, right? And I don’t know where he got it. Oh, it was from a place called Get Trump Watches. So maybe don’t go there. Don’t go to Get Trump Watches and buy a watch because what happens is you get a watch that says Rump. Yeah, she got this pink pricey watch and it was a limited edition, $640. When it arrived, it didn’t have the T. It literally says Rump on the watch’s face. Rump. And it’s… Really hard to miss because it’s like a candy pink background with gold and then rump in giant black letters. And he said, I’m really disappointed. And I guess they did. I don’t know if they wanted to like the couple complained to the company and the company ignored it. And then only then when local news reached out to the Trump get Trump watches thing, did they offer them a coupon? And an apology. So maybe don’t go there. Based on a coupon for the love. A semi carrying vodka crashes. Closed as part of I-25 near Colorado City. BRB going to Colorado. No, I’m kidding. They closed part of the interstate. I don’t think it… They said it took a lot of time for them to clean it up. So there was a lot of stuff that was broken. Let’s see. McDonald’s. Or offers free quarter pounders if you share Brad Pitt’s first name after his visit. I don’t know what this is about. So they wanted. So if you I guess he went and visited in New Zealand McDonald’s. And so now they’re offering free quarter pounders there. I guess that’s what he got. Only in New Zealand, I think. Stick with us. We’ve got more in store. Our partners who help bring you the program.

In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Verizon thought of a lot of different ways we could show our appreciation. Like rolling out the red carpet. Giving you your own personal marching band. or throwing a bumping shindig. At Verizon, we’re doing all that in the form of special military offers. That’s why this month only, we’re giving military and veteran families a $200 Verizon gift card and a phone on us with a select trade-in and a new line on select unlimited plans.

SPEAKER 05 :
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 10 :
I believe that we will win!
SPEAKER 02 :
They’re mad because they have a… That’s Starbucks baristas who are picketing because of a dress code. I’m trying to understand why they’re upset. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. And that’s… Right? What are the… What’s wrong with the uniform?
SPEAKER 08 :
Nothing.
SPEAKER 02 :
Like, what are they… I don’t understand. They said that they’re protesting the dress code per AP. Ugh. Because it requires them to wear a solid black shirt and khaki black or blue denim bottoms. And then they under the previous dress code, they could wear a broader range of darker colors. They said they want their green aprons to stand out. And a Starbucks workers united said the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. Starbucks, they said, has lost its way. Instead of listening to baristas who make, oh my gosh, are you, instead of making, listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what it is, wait, what is the Starbucks experience? Hold up. What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the names purposefully not being right, which I think is a gimmick. Did you ever see the thing where the guy was like, my name is Mark with a C, and they put Cark on the cup? Yeah. And like what else? Like when you wait for forever for your over roasted beans. Right. Is that what it is? Or I mean, I’m just curious. Like it’s I don’t know. I don’t get it. You’re it’s you’re you’re serving coffee. You’re a barista. When I was a waitress throughout college, I had to wear like darker slacks. I got a uniform shirt, but I had to wear dark colored slacks and dark tennis shoes. I could not wear bright colors. And I went with it because that was the rule. Businesses have the right to go. We want to make sure our branding stands out. And if you don’t like it, dear sweet heavens, go get another job because it’s amazing. There’s so many coffee places in the United States, Cain. There’s so many coffee places in the United States. It’s not like a heritage thing. I have to work at Starbucks because my grandmother worked at Starbucks and her grandmother worked at Starbucks. You make coffee. It’s very simple. Somebody goes, customers don’t care what color our clothes are. I don’t care about hearing someone bitch about having to wear a certain attire to make coffee. I just… They said that they’re being criticized because they sell styles of Starbucks branded clothing that employees can’t wear. And Starbucks said it would give two free black T-shirts to each employee when it announced the dress code. That’s what I got when I worked at Houlihan’s. Oh, I did. I was slinging that Tatey soup. I worked at Houlihan’s. I had to wear dark. I’d wear black tennis shoes and they were not the attractive kind. They were like nursing home tennis shoes and black trousers. And I like a maroon shirt and it had to be long sleeve. I can’t even wear short sleeve. My stuff had to be long sleeve and it had to be a button down shirt. That’s what I had to wear. It was really unfortunate in August. So the apparently fewer than less than one percent of Starbucks workers are even participating in the strikes. I’m just I’m sorry. This is such a first world entitled brat problem. Can you, is it, is it possible to, I don’t want to protest. I just want to make fun of people in a picket line style. Can you, if someone’s like doing that for this, can you just make fun of them while they’re doing it? Like, I’m so sad. I don’t get to wear what I want to wear at work. Man, how do you think doctors and nurses feel when they gotta wear scrubs to operate on brains and stuff? Wow! You’re making coffee! Now, if you don’t like it, you can go work at Dunkin’. Or, I don’t even know what their uniform requirements are. Or a million of these other little coffee places. Do you think it’s like a bragging point? Wait, here’s a question I have. This ought to be, honestly, like a Christopher Guest documentary called Barista. I just came up with it right now in my head. Where it’s like Best in Show that made fun of dog shows and Parker Posey was in it and it’s hysterical. But it’s like for baristas. So… Is it and the reason I am asking this, is it because do they view being a barista at Starbucks as like snooty? Like, oh, you’re you work at Dunkin. I’m a barista at Starbucks. Is that Steve? You’re a millennial. Is that a thing? Do you know anybody who’s a barista? Does that literally look like that? I mean, it’s a fancy word for a coffeehouse employee who literally pulls espresso.
SPEAKER 19 :
You know what’s funny is that the only people I know that are still working that type of job look exactly like that.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, is there… I would be more… I don’t know. Like, I just…
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m wondering what the specific complaint about the dress code is because they haven’t stated it. They said we’re against a dress code, but they haven’t stated what about that dress code is unpleasant or whatever it is they’re standing against.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s not what we want, Kane.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. That’s literally all they’re saying. Yeah, I don’t get it. I they don’t like long sleeves like they don’t like black shirts. They haven’t said anything about what the dress code is and what their actual objections are. They’re just objecting to the idea of a company having a dress code. This is a waste of time.
SPEAKER 02 :
So barista is based on it originated in Italy. It’s like, you know, it’s a it’s a person that makes the coffee. Right. And it’s it’s an Italian term. And I’m sorry, but I’ve been to Italian coffee shops in Italy and I’ve been to Starbucks. What you’re doing is not the same.
SPEAKER 1 :
It’s not.
SPEAKER 02 :
It is not. Don’t sit here and try to sell me the stale ass lemon pound cake and your over roasted beans and be like, no, I’m a barista. You’re pulling coffee. It’s not the same. It is not the same experience. I mean, I would like to think that some of the actual baristas that are in Italy, like when they’re pulling espresso, if they think it smells bad or burnt or stale, they’re, I’m not serving this. You don’t even give us an affogato. Stop it. So mad. I have to wear these clothes to serve coffee. So less than 1% are protesting. You cannot make fun of this stuff enough. Good night. And they’re mad about it. And I’m… I don’t know. Clearly I’m missing something. Apparently. I don’t know. We all are. I just think that there’s maybe, I don’t know. They said that it should have been collective bargaining. What? Shut up. Go work somewhere else then. I can’t. Man. Okay, so sidebar. Because this really puts me in the frame of mind. I’ve been watching this sci-fi show basically about an alien invasion. I don’t really like watching a lot of TV, but it has to be engaging. And if your first 60 seconds isn’t good, I’m not watching. Like if I take a bite of food and it tastes bad, I will spit it out on my plate and I will not eat it. I’m like, you know, life’s too short. You know what I’m saying? Like if I had bad coffee, I’ll be like, this tastes like Satan made it. And I’ll slide it back over. Anyway, so I’ve been watching this show. It’s called The Eaternaut. And it’s… Is it on Netflix? I can’t remember. Yeah, it’s on Netflix. It’s an Argentinian show based in Argentina. So there’s subtitles. Never do a dub, ever. Dubs suck. They’re horrible. But the show is called The Eaternaut. And it’s non-woke at all. There’s no woke. But it is so good. It’s very brilliantly done. And my kids… one of my kids in particular, because I was talking about like, man, if this was happening, I would already be like a warlord and I would have all this like, like shut down and I’d have a gate and I’d have blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? Through all the asteroids, SMOD, everything else. Let’s just get right to it, right? But this kind of stuff. It puts me right there. I’m like, this stuff wouldn’t fly. If it’s not enough for you to be concerned about during Armageddon, then maybe don’t get upset about it right now. Right? I feel like that’s a pretty good measure. Use the Armageddon yardstick. Are you going to be mad about this if you’re dealing with an alien invasion and a pole reversal? Because if not, shut up.
SPEAKER 19 :
Armageddon Yardstick’s a dope band name.
SPEAKER 02 :
Dude, right? That is actually a pretty good band name. Now that I think about it. But the Eater Knot is fabulous. It’s so good. It’s such a good… Oh, it’s so good. But anyway, I’m like, I could swing that. I mean, sure, I’ll fight aliens and whatever. I could hang with that. But at least I won’t have, you know, people complaining that they have to wear a certain kind of shirt while they’re pulling coffee at the Starbucks. Would you want somebody like that making your food?
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t care about the attire of the person who’s making my food.
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t either. I don’t care what accompanies little disputes they have with their people.
SPEAKER 08 :
I just want it in the time I’m supposed to get it.
SPEAKER 02 :
I just, why is it $13 for like a regular, you know, I don’t get coffee at Starbucks because, you know.
SPEAKER 08 :
It took me like two visits to figure out the difference between Venti and Grande because Grande is supposed to be large. That’s what Grande means. And then Venti is only 20 and it’s like, that’s not very large.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, you’re not supposed to have that much.
SPEAKER 08 :
But Venti is the largest.
SPEAKER 02 :
Like nobody drinks like that. Starbucks made giant, you know, garbage sizes like normal. It’s not supposed to be like that. Like your coffee should not be cold by the time you get to the end of it. That’s bad. I mean, you’ve been given too much and that’s stupid.
SPEAKER 08 :
But I always like more coffee.
SPEAKER 02 :
Then you can have several different shots of it. I like espresso or just like an Americano. I want it black and bitter like my heart. Save your stupid sugar and your milk that just reduces the intensity. Nay. So anyway, I could not get over that story. I was fascinated by that. And I absolutely had to share that with you. Did you hear about the accused Venezuelan hitman who was allowed to the United States and given a work permit by Biden despite the fact that he was wanted for four murders? Yeah, that guy. Do you hear about him? Just a just a regular guy. Just a regular dad. Anthony Fabian Marin Latore was nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Grapevine, Texas, Kane. Right down the road from us in Grapevine on May 2nd. He was literally wanted by Interpol for four murders. And he was a lieutenant in the El Chamu gang. Yay. Biden gave this guy a Venezuelan gangbanger. a work permit, even though everybody knew that the dude was wanted for multiple murders. He was arrested in Grapevine, Texas, Kane. And a month after he crossed the border, he showed up in Dallas for a required check-in and he was given a notice to appear in immigration court. He was given a federal work permit issued in June 2023. He applied for asylum and for protected status. You’re a murdering gangbanger and you applied for asylum? Now, you could say, well, you know, it was really difficult to ascertain whether or not he was wanted for murders because, you know, the Maduro regime wasn’t exactly working with the Biden administration to give honest records at the time. Yes, which is why you just don’t allow people to enter illegally. Right. And they had no information on any of these Venezuelan people coming in. And so they were just the Biden administration required ICE agents, border agents, to just release them regularly into the gen pop. So literally down the street from an elementary school in Grapevine, Texas, a gang-banging multiple murderer Venezuelan was arrested here illegally. No joke. May 2nd, Kane. May 2nd. I’m not saying that this is how you get the movie falling down to become reality, but I’m just going to say this might be how you get the movie falling down to turn into reality.

I mentioned yesterday how in Virginia, because of the federal employees, they’re looking at like maybe losing 32,000 jobs this year, according to an economic forecast from UVA’s Weldon Cooper Center. And it’s these are these are government jobs, you know, because we’re government’s too damn big. That’s crazy. So we’re cutting the federal workforce. That’s what this is. And everyone’s like, oh, my gosh, it’s going to affect, you know, Virginia’s, you know, their their unemployment, etc. And so now, according to a Cook political analysis, the Virginia governor’s race has moved from toss up to lean Democrat. Because of this. So this is why Republicans are scared of austerity. They’re scared of reducing government. They’re scared of actually cutting anything because of stuff like this. Honestly, it is to sit here and hold taxpayers hostage because you want to work for the federal government. Blank you. Learn to code. I have. No, I don’t feel bad. I don’t feel bad at all. I and I feel like because I’ve had a couple of hate mail, pieces of hate mail about it. And they’re like, you’re just so mean about this. No, I’m not. How dare you try to shame me, the taxpayer? How dare you? Me and everybody else. Clearly, there’s a massive redundancy and there is a government’s too big. You can’t be a conservative and not think that. That’s just the way it is. It is not my fault if someone put all their eggs in the federal government basket. These people aren’t going to have jobs anyway because the American people are going to be bled dry financially. So you have Abigail Spanberger and win some Earl Sears. Some of the Earl Sears stuff has to do with primary stuff. And I’m so done with the people who would rather rule over ashes than I just I don’t get it. But I mean, I can’t believe that Spanberger is that close to Sears. That’s just mind blowing to me. And they they’ve reclassified it as lean Democrat. It was toss up. Now it’s leaned them. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Now that’s already going to be that will be used if that’s an actual real loss that is going to be upheld by the media. as a sign of things to come as it pertains to midterms. Tomorrow, we’re going to talk about how… We’re going to talk about SCOTUS stuff tomorrow. And we’re also going to get into Ayanna Pressley’s demanding reparations. Yeah, that’s new today. We’re going to dive into that as well. In the meantime, today in Stupidity Kane.
SPEAKER 08 :
It is AOC. It’s all hyperbole. While she’s saying all this hyperbole, she’s claiming it’s not hyperbole. Listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
It kills women. It kills women. to defund care, reproductive care. It kills women to restrict it, to ban it, to defund it. And this legislation will kill women.
SPEAKER 02 :
That is not a hyperbole. It is hyperbole. And just because you’ve got a dictionary doesn’t mean that makes it so. So tomorrow, we’ve got SCOTUS stuff. We’re going to be talking also about reparations. That’s a big thing. Democrats keep going back to the stupid well. All of that So much more. Have a great night. Back with you tomorrow.
