Join us as we unravel the intricacies of the 2024 Lexus RZ 300E Luxury. From its elite interior materials to the innovative infotainment system, we offer a comprehensive review of its key features. Additionally, we address the competitive landscape for EVs at this price point, offering insights and recommendations for potential buyers. This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering a leap into electric luxury vehicles.
SPEAKER 01 :
All right, I'm going to skip ahead to one that we both drove. I know you were going to do something else, but I'm going to slip this one in just because I think we have plenty of time to do this because we're a little bit tight on time. But we drove this car, 2024 Lexus RZ, and that's a 300E luxury. Now, really quick, right off the top, this car I enjoyed, although I don't normally knock cars, and it's not a huge knock on this car, I think, as far as a plug-in goes. It works extremely well, had plenty of, you know, power which if you drive an ev you know what i mean by that but my my downs on this on this car little noisier inside that what i would find with other cars that it's competing with and its range by the way is less than what i would like to see in this particular model so 2024 lexus rz 300e luxury $65,000 list price on this car, which if you look in that segment, not bad, although you're going to find other cars for that price, Richard, with a higher range, and I only got about 45 seconds left. What are your thoughts?
SPEAKER 02 :
I would agree with you. I really like the soft-touch materials, lots of things. If you have a charger at home, Dad, a level 2 charger that can get you up in a night, right, I would highly recommend this car. It's got all the Lexus luxury that you like, really responsive, the infotainment, all of that. However, if you're having to fuel, quote, unquote, fill up at work, right, with plugging in or something like that, you may find it lacking because it's, again, only going to get you minimal range compared to the other EVs on the market. Not a deal breaker, just something to consider.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, this one top range is about 180 miles where, frankly, other cars that it's competing with are going to add 75 to 100 mile of range for essentially the same price. Again, my only dig, nice car, very luxurious. Outside of that, go check it out at your local Lexus dealer. Tell them that John and Richard Rush, both from Drive Radio and Rush to Reason, sent you.

Join John and Richard Rush as they explore the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid's offerings, including its distinguishing nightshade edition. With a deep dive into its market positioning and real-world performance, John's detailed drive experience coupled with Richard’s technical insights will give you a comprehensive overview of this hybrid vehicle. For fans of SUVs, this episode provides valuable perspectives from seasoned car reviewers.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, we are back. And Richard, we always take time each week to do car reviews. Again, I know we're a little bit behind because of the season and vacations and so on. But what have you driven lately? Let's start with your first one, which I believe is what, a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid?
SPEAKER 03 :
A Toyota? Yes, a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. It's kind of a mouthful, Dad, right?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
It's a great car, and, Dad, I think that's a 2025, right? It feels like it is.
SPEAKER 02 :
2025, yep, that's what I show.
SPEAKER 03 :
And a great car, Dad, it's a little bit bigger of a car, right? It's not a typical... Sorry, I'm pulling up my notes here. Yeah, it's a compact crossover SUV. It's kind of that new class of SUV. It's not a full-size SUV, folks, that you're probably used to seeing, but it's also not a sedan either, right? And it's not... It's not super small. It just kind of fits into that mid, I guess I'm going to call it a midsize, I should be saying.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, they're going to call it a small one, but I'm with you. I think, you know, here's what's interesting. Toyota calls it one. You and I would call it something else like the rental cars do, by the way, because when you go to a rental car agency, what I would consider to be a midsize, and I think even the manufacturer would call a midsize, they're calling that a full size. So I think you and I are on the right track.
SPEAKER 03 :
Exactly. I'm going to go with that. And so, yeah, like I said, that 2025, the Toyota hybrid system, as we always talk about, is really second to none, right? It's really, really hard to beat that system as a whole and kind of what it does and what it can do and all of the above as far as... that goes let me see what's new for 2025 no real changes it was introduced in 2022 it's a little bit quick quicker and more efficient the hybrid model is right dad which is yes to be expected um it's a it's not quite as roomy but again i think some folks are going to miss that dad the idea is this is not supposed to be as big as an suv it's just a little bit bigger of a car it's kind of and actually i've got it here it's four inches shorter lengthwise than the rav4 okay it's it's a little bit similar in size to a RAV4. So maybe, Dad, those four inches do help you if you're in an urban environment, right? You're not driving around as much, or you like the looks of the Corolla Cross, right? That can be something, too, for folks. They like the look of that a little bit different. Again, changes to 2025 are purely cosmetic. As far as the interior, Dad, goes, it's everything you would come to expect of Toyota. And what I mean by that, it's simple yet elegant. And so it's not the fanciest thing out there, but it's really, freight you don't have a ton of buttons to mess with to where it's going to mess you up and because as you know dad some of these cars can get into they get a little bit uh well wordy's not the right way but they get a little bit difficult to operate especially if you're only in them for a short period of time so it's gets away from doing that. As far as price, Dad, I don't have this one on me, but it ranges from $29,845 to the XSE is $33,000. And, Dad, like you and I talked about... Yeah, really quick. The one you drove, $34,705 was the total. 34%, exactly. And that night shade, Dad, let me see if I can pull up the notes for it. It's obviously what Toyota has done with a lot of these trim levels, Dad, is they sort of kind of give you different accented pieces to it, but the overall vehicle stays the same. And I apologize, I don't have...
SPEAKER 02 :
that that note exactly in front of me as far as what no and this one we drove you know you had you know of course the jbl sound system had the full moon roof in it to your point had the nightshade edition which just gives you some two-tone paint coloring and some things like that and again that whole car total price sticker price 34 705 not a bad price at all
SPEAKER 03 :
Exactly. Not a bad price, especially for a hybrid, Dad, where you're going to be able to go about almost 400 miles on a tank of gas. And that's not me pulling from any standard number, Dad. It's just real-world driving that you and I do. That's something that doesn't happen all the time. And that's something that I really, really like. And like you say, kind of that nightshade edition is a little bit different, provides some value. So if you're interested in this, folks, head to your local Toyota dealership. Again, 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade. Test drive it, and when you do that, let them know that John and Richard Rush from Drive Radio and Rush to Reason sent you.
SPEAKER 02 :
This is John Rush from Rush to Reason and Drive Radio. Thank you so much for listening. Check out more of our podcasts at RushToReason.com or Drive-Radio.com.
In this episode, experience a full roundup of the 2025 Kia Carnival SX. We discuss its standout attributes like the fully reclining second-row seats and state-of-the-art infotainment system, perfect for both children and adults on the go. Get insights into the car's economic fuel consumption, advanced safety mechanisms, and why it has become a favorite among families searching for a reliable yet luxurious travel companion.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, and we are back, and today we are going to do some car reviews. Rush to Reason, Denver's Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, and Richard, before we get started here, sounds like today we will have the battle of the minivans.
SPEAKER 01 :
We will. I was jumping ahead in our earlier conversation, but why don't you go first, Dad? You drove one recently and kind of came to show it to the grandkids. They loved it, as always, but an exciting segment that we are entering into here.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I drove a 2025 Kia Carnival SX, the prestige package on this particular car. And I will tell you, first off, the thing about this particular car, and I've got a couple of listeners that actually own these. But first things first, it does not look like your typical car. It has a different look to it. It's got more of a nose to it. And one of the comments that I got from a lot of different people looking at it was, that does not look like a minivan. This thing comes in at $55,000. Sorry, $55,000 to $55,000. 3.5 liter direct injection V6 engine, 8-speed automatic transmission. And I'll tell you what, Richard, as far as usability, comfortability, all of the creature comforts known to man are inside of it. The rear seats fold down into the floor, which make that really convenient. The two center seats recline all of the way. They'll adjust in and out depending upon what you're actually trying to do inside of the car itself. I mean, this thing's got a laundry list of things that it comes with, all again, for $55,000. And it's a lot of car for that, Richard.
SPEAKER 01 :
It is. Got to see it this weekend a little bit, and we'll kind of compare it. But a lot of great features. That second row is awesome, especially if you've maybe got some older kids. Or even not, maybe just you and the wife, I don't know, want to go hang out someplace, or your spouse, whatever it is. Like I said, fully reclining, the integration of the infotainment system, or I should say the entertainment system. There you go. That second row, Dad. Works really, really well. You can kind of slide those seats around however you want to position them. Really comfortable.
SPEAKER 02 :
Great travel car, Richard, to your point a moment ago. Let's say you're traveling. You want to pull over, have a little break. You don't really want to stay in the hotel. Realistically, if you want to take a four- or five-hour nap and just pull over for a little bit, this is the car you can do that in.
SPEAKER 01 :
Absolutely it is, Dad. And like I said, I was really impressed with it, really impressed with what they've done, the infotainment. They have sort of the bird's-eye-view camera, which we're going to talk about in our next review as well, that it's got, which, again, I know for you probably doesn't matter, but for me as a parent and for my wife, it does matter because instead of having to look around at the kids, you can just basically push this button. The rear section pops up on the screen, folks, and you can kind of see what the kids are doing. You can control everything from up front. You've got heated and ventilated front seats, which is fantastic. Man, if you could honestly get massaging seats out of that second row, I'm not sure if you'd need one of these other fancy cars.
SPEAKER 02 :
I'll tell you what, and again, for all of you listening, everything from Apple CarPlay to Lane Keep Assist, all the collision device, the anti-collision stuff, I should say, that are on it. Wireless phone charging, heated and ventilated front seats. Again, on and on we go. Richard, again, the list is very long. The car works extremely well. Very quiet inside. A lot of minivans, by the way, of old that a lot of folks used to have, they were thinking, oh, you know, they're kind of noisy and clunky and so on. Yeah, not anymore. The other thing about this car, Richard, it's 21 average, 18 city, 26 highway. But I was in that 26 range all of the time. I literally drove everywhere in this thing that past week. And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. And I used one tank of fuel, and that was it.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, and again, we've talked about that, that this is the segment that, especially with some of these that are going with the hybrid powertrains in a lot of cases, you're able to really get up there. They've done a really good job at sort of maximizing their frames per se, right? They sort of get the most out of these engines. They're relatively aerodynamic with how they do it. And so, no, it's a great, like you said, a great value. And for something where, and you know this from all the kids obviously growing up, It pays off as a parent when you don't have to stop as often for fuel.
SPEAKER 02 :
Right. That's right. Just keep rolling. Anyways, those of you listening, if this is something you might be interested in, go check one out. I would say test drive one. If you haven't driven one of these in quite some time, go to your local Kia dealer, ask about it, drive it, tell them that John and Richard Rush, both from Drive Radio and Rush to Reason, both sent you. This is John Rush from Rush to Reason and Drive Radio. Thank you so much for listening. Check out more of our podcasts at RushToReason.com or Drive-Radio.com.
Join John and Richard as they embark on a journey through the latest in family vehicle innovation with the 2025 Honda Odyssey Elite. With advanced tech features, flexible seating configurations, and a design that favors functionality over flashiness, this minivan redefines what it means to travel in comfort. Listen closely as they compare its impressive offerings to other vehicles, highlighting the value proposition it presents for families looking for the perfect ride.
SPEAKER 01 :
All right, Rick, Richard, the second half of, again, the minivan, I guess you could call it, challenge. You drove a Honda Odyssey, which is Honda's version of what we just talked about.
SPEAKER 02 :
Honda's version, Daddy, I got to kind of take it around, drove it everywhere. Again, whenever the kids get it, we move the car seats and such around, and it makes it work. It's got latches everywhere. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's the little metal points that connect to the frame of the seats in the vehicle that lets you, you know, more securely fasten your car seat as compared to, you know, just using the seat belt for that matter, right?
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 02 :
This has a similar camera to the other vehicle that we talked about. It's called Cabin View. It's also got cabin talk on it, which means that you can just press a button and instead of turning around and yelling at those little rascals to quiet down, or even if you just instead of want to yell to get to the back seat because cars are noisy no matter how good they do, you can basically talk to that. And it comes through the speakers. And you can actually choose an option to have it come through the headphones at the same time. It does have an infotainment rather than some of these other cars where it's got the, I guess, the more common data kind of screens in front of each second row passenger. This has got just kind of one big screen up above. They had a fire stick in it. I'm not sure if Honda's got their own system, but I'll tell you with the Wi-Fi hotspot that's in it, And the fire stick combination, and honestly, Dad, my kids are as good at using that thing anymore as anything else. It works really well. Super easy to operate. The headphones work really, really well. Second row seats in this one did not fully recline, as you kind of mentioned. However, Dad, what was really nice is this has a removable, fully removable second row. And that means that you can take out the center console and kind of give yourself just some captain's chairs. You can leave the center console in there. You could actually remove one of the seats. or both of them, for that matter, if you wanted to, and storm in your garage or wherever. And you've got the ability to slide these seats in and out. And I'll tell you, my daughter loved that because she got to sit next to her baby brother when she normally is across the aisle from him, right? And so ultimately, and this was the Honda Elite or the Odyssey Elite, so kind of the creme de la creme, top of the line. All of this and all of the creature comforts up front that you would expect, too, as far as heated and ventilated front seats. Front seats, heated steering wheel, Honda's kind of adaptive cruise technology, Dad, with some of their safety features. All of that for pretty much kind of what we were just talking about, a little bit over $52,000 for this price, Dad, which with some of these other larger SUVs that are similar passenger capacity, Dad, you're basically getting, you know, you can buy too many events for the price of one.
SPEAKER 01 :
You know what? You can't argue with that at all. Not at all.
SPEAKER 02 :
No, and again, folks, everyone kind of gives us a hard time. They all laugh. But I will tell you, if you're looking for functionality, and maybe looks aren't there, but you just want the best functionality that you can get, this is a vehicle I would highly recommend that you check out. You go look at it. Get yourself in it. Get your friends in it. Get your family in it. whoever you're going to do, because ultimately, Dad, that's what's going to matter. And I would give two thumbs up, again, to the 2025 Honda Odyssey Elite. It really opened my eyes to what can be done. So if you want to head to your local Honda dealer, Dad, check it out. And when they do that, let them know that John and Richard Rush from Rush to Reason and Drive Radio sent you.

SPEAKER 06 :
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 at 30A. 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 door. It was 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. With All Family Pharmacy, convenience is everything. And they make it so simple. It's fast shipping, no hassle, no gatekeepers.

What girl main do you know goes out and arranges words on the beach with shells? Like a dippy influencer. Who does that? Nobody came. 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. No, you're not going to do that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Is he claiming that he actually arranged it?
SPEAKER 06 :
Or is he saying that he did? Are you kidding me? No one. He's not walking on the beach and then like walking across this thing. He did it. Come on.
SPEAKER 08 :
So I agree with you.
SPEAKER 06 :
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. Some of the lore I heard. But we all knew that it meant to kill it. Right. Oh, 86. You got to kill it. It's not just, and it's also used in, you know, you can use it in discussion of felonious criminal 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 like 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. I mean, leftists are, you people are turning into, well, you haven't. It's an insult to barbarians. It's moronic. These are the same people that lost their minds on me when I said I was fisking the New York Times. Oh my gosh. The New York Times put out an editorial condemning my violent language. I had everybody from like Daily Beast to Rolling Stone, New York Times. Oh my gosh, so violent. No, these are your rules, guys. This was the FBI director who posted this. This wasn't some rando with a storefront on Amazon. It wasn't a meme account on social media. It was the literal top cop in the land. And I think it's the height of bizarre. That this doesn't it scare you that someone who is that petty who does this kind of stuff was ever had that much power. It's the folks over at Caltech the generation three sub 2k.

SPEAKER 08 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
SPEAKER 06 :
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 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 08 :
I hated that when Amazon did that. Remember when Prime started doing that?
SPEAKER 06 :
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?
SPEAKER 03 :
Clearly, we are doing life wrong 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 06 :
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, 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, etc., etc. Can I just note that every nation on earth, without exception, has engaged in the practice of slavery, and it wasn't just... 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. How did... And 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 Kane 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 08 :
That's a great question.
SPEAKER 06 :
Juan's family's from Puerto Rico. How does that work?
SPEAKER 08 :
Is there no, like, system?
SPEAKER 06 :
Juan wouldn't even hear. He's got to pay reparations.
SPEAKER 08 :
So we've got to consider that. Plus, is there a system considering your family's history?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, so my family predominantly are Irish, which explains so much. And American Indian. So when we look back through our family, our family records, we 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
SPEAKER 08 :
tribe and do you are you then partly responsible for reparations for paying reparations too like how does that work that's how stupid this is 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 06 :
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. Arianna Pressley 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.

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.

SPEAKER 25 :
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. I mean, leftists are you people are turning into Bart. Well, you have been an insult to barbarians. It's moronic. These are the same people that lost their minds on me when I said I was fisking the New York Times. Oh, my gosh. The New York Times put out a editorial condemning my violent language. I had everybody from like Daily Beast to Rolling Stone, New York Times. Oh, my gosh. So violent. No, these are your rules, guys. This was the FBI director. Who posted this? This wasn't some rando with a storefront on Amazon. It wasn't a meme account on social media. It was the literal top cop in the land. And I think it's the height of bizarre that this doesn't it scare you that someone who is that petty who does this kind of stuff was ever had that much power. ever had that much power we have a lot more to hit your body is a powerhouse it heals it builds it keeps you moving but as you age those natural processes slow down and that's where ancient nutrition's collagen comes in it's like backup power for your body it helps you stay strong radiant and ready for anything ancient nutrition blends ancient wisdom with modern science to create high quality supplements and their multi-collagen Advanced Lean features 10 types of collagen from real food-based sources.

SPEAKER 06 :
When you play your concerts, do you ever see anybody with blue hair, armpit hair, female armpit hair? Some of these people we're looking at, kid, I don't know.
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 :

I mean, it is so... It's just... Anyway, he's not wrong. They're always mad. They're always mad about something. Always mad. All right, coming up. We've got a lot to hit. 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.

SPEAKER 21 :
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.

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 :
Thank you.

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.

Navigating the intricate landscape of race and politics, Reggie Rocco addresses the pressing issues of identity and cultural integration within the United States. This episode also tackles the controversial topic of reparations, advocating a conversation on historical injustices and their resolutions. Reggie encourages listeners to critically engage and contribute to a future rooted in justice and unity.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's up? What's up? What's up? You tuned in to 560 KLZ. KLZ. I'm a Uniter. I'm a Uniter. I'm your host, Reggie Rocco.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Yeah. KLZ. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
So right about now, we want everybody, I mean everybody, stand up. Stand up. Hold your hands up high. This is about America, baby. We bring people together. I mean, I don't.
SPEAKER 06 :
To the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
SPEAKER 04 :
Woo, 560 KLZ, this is Amiya Nida, of course with Reggie Rocco and my super producer, Lukey Luke. And you know, one of the best things I love about coming into the studio is Luke and I are facing each other and he's looking at me, he's like, okay, what you about to say? What are you gonna say? Okay, we always start off with the weather and this view. I like this. You agree? It's a good view. I can't complain. It's warm? Very nice outside, yes. Have that big American flag right there? We do, in fact. How come it's not like a whole bunch of American flags? Because I see Hispanic and Cuba and Mexico all over this place now. And I don't never see the patriotic spirit of people hanging the flag from their buildings or cars and stuff like that. Unless it's a rally or something like that. We need to fix that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Be the change you want to see in the world, Reg. Get a big flag, attach it to your Range Rover. Fly it down the road.
SPEAKER 04 :
Hey, dude, listen to this. And I'm serious. This is not a I told you so, but this is more verification. And I love it, dude. I love it. So, my boy, but you know who that is, Trump. Ah, man, he was in the Middle East. He killed it, man. I don't want to hear nothing from nobody. Who'd he kill? He killed it. Like, metaphor. I see, I see. Dude, they gave this man a $400 million jet for Air Force One. Everybody going crazy. Trump said, I'm not keeping it personal. He doesn't need the jet. But if you're dumb enough... to believe that he's not gonna take that jet and have all our people go over it from head to toe, Subtract some stuff, add some stuff, whatever. But that's exactly, that is a sign of respect. You must not know culture because that, to those people, is a sign of respect to give you something like that. Man, my God, they broke all kind of rules. Now, I told you I have Kuwaiti friends. Other friend, he's not Iran. I think he's Iraq. And then Dubai. Dude. They have strict rules that they go by over there. And I watched Saudi Arabia completely alter those rules. First of all, when Trump pulled up, he pulled up not on a red carpet, on a purple carpet. You know what that means? No. Royalty. That's what stands for royalty for them. So he's walking out of Air Force One. And then second of all, the prince never greets anybody on the carpet as they're getting off the plane. But he was right there for President Trump. Facts. I keep telling you, this man is not just the father of America. He's the leader of the world. He is. And all the money, all the jobs, everything that he's doing, my God, to bring peace. I mean, man, this is the greatest man ever. Ever! Like, I, in my lifetime, have not heard of or met, seen, talked about anyone more influential, more powerful, more strong, more big-hearted. I mean, this dude is all of that and a bag of your favorite chips. Now, there's other things, dude. I will say this. what do you do when the whole world loves your president and we have people here that don't and they're all liberals and democrats and most of them we have some traitors or pretenders uh but what what do you what do you do i mean how do you manifest energy that is respectful Get on board with this man so we can really dominate. He told you about the tariffs. What did I tell you? I said, my Chinese friend told me companies in China are closing down, people marching in the streets, all of this. I've been telling you what, is this like the third week now? Now you see China's came to the table. 90-day pause. Dude. Trump is a master. Master! And... I'm looking and I'm like, wow, we're really, all these jobs, everything he's bringing here, all this production, everything's going on, man. Our future, our kids, and if we can keep control of the Senate and House, our kids' kids are gonna be in an America that unlike nothing we've ever seen before. And it's all because of this man. And so understand, you're seeing greatness You're seeing greatness. And I don't know him personally. If I did, whoo. Matter of fact, all these I'm Luke, all this stuff I've been telling you guys before it even comes out, all that is all been true, true, true, true, true. Imagine what I would do on Trump's team. My God, because. I'm not interested in. It seems like most politicians, they want to get in there, they want to get that power, get that check, then they forget where they came from. It's like, yo, dude, or ma'am, you work for the American people. And that's what you're supposed to do. That's how I would be doing 24-7, is what I ran on, just like him, and getting it done, period. What else am I gonna do? You do get off on Congress, right? It's not like a 24-hour job, right? You go in there, you punch the clock. Sometimes you don't even punch the clock, whatever it is. You will have time for yourself, right? I can still party and do the boogie down and all the other stuff I wanna do, but on the clock, buddy? It's 100% pushing for what people voted for, why they voted me in. I think that will change for the better once we get term limits, because right now it's too wide open. They make money, they deal with lobbyists, they travel, they're hypocrites all over. What's her name, AOC? Oh, Green New Deal, electric this. Well, now she's bashing electric, Elon, the top electric car maker. The Green New Deal, what? Where's that? But you're flying in jets and all this other stuff, but you want us to do what you say, not as you do. No, no, same energy, same energy. I'm a same energy guy. And when you see the love, And I don't know if you guys ever been overseas. I don't know if you've ever known anybody in those circles. I have and I do. But I've never been overseas physically. Let me tell you that. I won't do it simply because, man, I might get stuck over there. And I just don't want to. I might do something. I might say something to one of the girls or something. Like, hey, what's up, man?
SPEAKER 1 :
Come with me.
SPEAKER 04 :
I'll be calling you, Luke. Luke, get me out. What'd you do? Nothing. I just said, hey, hey, hello, beautiful. How are you? Come with me. Cancel this, man. Cancel. I'm going to cancel. I'm going to stay here. But the people that I do know from there that are here, I know about the rules. I know what they do and they say. So for Trump to go over there, a white man from America, which over there they try to call the West the devil. This guy is unbelievable. Un-freaking-believable. Trump is the man. And then I just seen something with Poland. So you have these politicians in Poland having this big rally and they're talking about making their country better and stopping this illegal immigration. Then the crowd starts chanting. Wow, dude! Why aren't we building a statue of this guy? How come it should be illegal for anybody to say anything negative about this dude? Is there any way we can deport, export, any type of port these people up out of here? Because I would just love to see them gone. Gone, completely gone. America is back, baby. I'm back! We back, buddy. And who was doubting the stock market? What did Trump say? He said, the stock market's going to be great and fine. Matter of fact, you need to go buy stock. He told you. He wasn't like Pelosi and him and all that, pretending they don't know anything and then they do it behind your back and they make them all. No, Trump announced it. That dude is, whoo-hoo. He said, hey, everybody go buy stocks. He told you. You gotta give it up to this dude. And I look at it like this. Democrats, you got Trump-Durame syndrome so bad, I don't care what you call it, all we focus on is the wrong things that you do, because you're corrupt. You're corrupt, that party is corrupt. completely corrupt and no matter what Trump will do or anything that's in their face or you show them or anything that's positive they right now they're not even they're not even advertising or promoting what the people of the United States want they only are doing their own agenda and I don't get it I don't understand why we're not attacking that on their side like yo man This is what the people wanted. How are you gonna shut up, join the plan, and let's keep this going? It's our time, but they're not because they're ill. They're mentally ill, dude. They have the syndrome that's, it's unstoppable. Like, it's so bad. I mean, and so Democrats, choices you make or have made in anger cannot be undone. Do you understand that? You got to understand what is going on. Now, I'm looking up here also. Let's go to, because, you know, we like to cover everything. We ain't going to get into the Diddy stuff yet because I've been telling you that for years. Hold on. Who we got on the line? Johnny, what's up, buddy?
SPEAKER 03 :
Hey, you know, the only thing I'm worried about is I'm hearing the rumblings that all the work that those did is not going to be applied to this big, beautiful bill. And mainly I'm hearing it's because the Republicans, they are dipping into the pot. So they're not going to raise their voice and say, wait a minute, let's put in. And I heard that we're not going to get the $5,000 a piece per person, whatever. And I'm thinking like, Are they going to do the rope-a-dope and big talk but no follow-through?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, we have to wait and see on that. But I can tell you this. I trust Trump. I trust him. Yeah, but see, he's a chess player. Fake left, go right. So even if that bill, whatever the changes they have to make or do, whatever it goes through, trust me, Trump will be doing something on the other end to make that up. I literally have no concern. The beautiful bill is exactly what he said it was going to be. And if Trump could just do it without anybody else, it would be done already. We'd be on to the next... We'll be on to the next subject. But we have to go through this little process. I think it's ego thing. Because I don't understand. All the Republicans in Congress, you're supposed to just go, whatever Trump say, vote with it. Vote for it, whatever it is. That's complete trust. That's complete honesty. That's completely showing that you're with the movement. You have to be able to trust. And I trust this man. I trust this man. more than you'll ever, ever believe. And I'm just telling you, big dog, just, just no matter what it is, if they have to change or do certain things, it's not because of Trump. It's not because of Trump. So let it go through, let it be passed, let it be signed, all that other bull. And let's get to the next thing. Cause he will make it up. You know, you know what I, what's worrying me is like right now, there's supposedly like 12, 12 sitting senators, uh, under criminal investigation for what, foreign lobbying, kickbacks, that type of stuff. I pray that this is true. I don't know. If I was there, I would definitely know. But we must prosecute to the fullest. See, because you have to have that same energy to keep black people and minorities on your side. We need to know that when you commit a crime, that you're going to be responsible for it. You're gonna be prosecuted. You're going to be trialed for that crime. That's what makes us sleep good at night. That's what makes us feel fair. Because if you don't do it, You're going to lose everybody. If you don't do it, if you back down in any way, you're going to lose it. Like those fools in Congress threatening, you're making threats. I dare you. If you arrest all the Congress people that attack ICE, man, I'm telling you right now, the ICE friend I know, he'd have been boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. He wouldn't have took none of that. If I was in ICE, I would have done the same thing. You have these Congress people attacking ICE. Dude, it would have been, they need to take them and they should have took them straight into jail. There should not be any special treatment. And then now Congress is, the Democrats are threatening ICE and the DOJ. Come on, man. You can't let that go. You will lose the country. You will lose us. You have to do what is needed to be done. And I'm trusting Trump, you know, I'm trusting Trump to do this because it has to be done. You cannot have special treatment, preferred treatment with these maniacs. You can't do it. You have to treat everybody, justice is supposed to be blind, justice is supposed to be even, equal. Say no, you gotta arrest these people. You gotta do what you have to do to make it right. You gotta bring everybody in line. Now, everybody knows I talk about all kind of racial stuff and everything, and I'm not racist. I'm a mixed culture in my family, but I just keep it real. What I am tired of everywhere I go, And I mean this to heart, so if you open your ears and listen very closely, because I do not bite my tongue, at least not on purpose. I'm tired of all this carnival music. You know what I mean by that? Hispanic music. Mexican music. It sounds like a dang carnival, right? And I'm in the music industry, and I like all kinds of music. I even like that, and you know, the right place, right time, all that. I love the culture. Dude, everywhere I go, all I hear is this dang, all this stuff, and it's just everywhere. It's everywhere!
SPEAKER 03 :
I got to tell you the story. When I was 20 years old, it was 1980, 3 o'clock in the morning, they would be playing this music, I think like... Don't you guys work?
SPEAKER 04 :
Hey, man, I would say the same thing if it was rap music going 24 hours a day, if it was rock and roll going 24 hours a day. This is America, right? The melting pot is different cultures. I want to see different cultures. You guys, the Democrats and I'll put it on you, you Caucasian people. You let this happen. You let the Democrats do this and bring all these people in here and they are here to take over, period. And we're getting them out, but they are here to take over. And so that your culture, you know, there is no white culture, no black culture. It's only Mexican culture. That's all that's around this thing. Everywhere I go, I don't care if I'm in McDonald's, if I'm shopping in the mall, if I'm at a hotel, if I'm in a club, if I'm driving my car down the street, you know what I'm saying? If I'm in an outdoor restroom, I'm still hearing it. So, yeah, I'm so tired of that. I am so tired of that. That's something that I just had to just tell you guys. I'm just like, nah, man. What did you do? What did you do to America? What did you do? I don't need to even visit Latin America or Mexico or anything like that. I'm living in it. I'm here in America.
SPEAKER 03 :
When was the last time you were at the Denver General, that hospital in, I don't know, Bannock? My wife goes in there and she says, all Hispanics are working in there. And she says, well... Where's all the white people or the other people that seem like they're all there? So I don't know if it's DEI hiring or they just... No, let me break it down to you.
SPEAKER 04 :
I don't know. Because I'm going to get into some real deep racial stuff here coming up real soon. But while you see that... because they infiltrated all those people into our neighborhoods. I go to KFC, I don't see one black face. Popeyes chicken, not one black face. I don't even really see white people anymore. It's all Hispanic. All of it. So good luck with that. That's what it is, buddy. And you know I'm not racist. You know I love Latina, white men. But dude, dude, dude, come on, man. And so, I'm gonna, you know, not, you know how I like to switch gears and go back and, cause this is a conversation, man. You have to express yourself. You have to get the truth out and people's gotta hear you. And it's been, you know, there's gonna be an announcement that I was going to do today. It's a big one too, but the person that contacted me doesn't want me to say anything. until monday which you know my show it doesn't come on again until friday so but you're gonna you would be hearing it first from me i guarantee you would be coming to you through me first but we'll we'll tell you what that is after monday by then you'll probably see it all on the news so you Yeah, I break those stories, man. People call me, people say, hey, they trust me, they want my energy. I mean, the text I received from this person was so complimentary. It was humbling. It was humbling. And I'm out here doing this, and like I say, I appreciate you, Luke, Mike, Mr. Crawford, everybody that's been a part of this, Kim, Evie, all kind of people, to be able to reach out to the minority communities and do this battle, do this fight. And that's what it is. It's a battle. And trust me, the Democrats are trying everything they can right now create false narratives, fake incidents to get to the minorities, Hispanic and black, to get to them and change their mind. They're trying everything they can to do it. So I keep telling them every day, be strong, don't believe it, do not believe it. Understand, look, research, look where we are, look what's going on, look what this man is doing. Don't fall for the other side. The other side, truly, to me, man, I know it's an easy way, an easy word to say, I truly believe they're evil, dude. That's just how I feel. If you guys don't like it, bring the smoke, because that's exactly how I feel about the other side. I am so sick.
SPEAKER 03 :
Or if you're being silent, if you're being silent, You're a Democrat and you say, hey, that's not me. You're going to have to lift up your voice and say, so we can know. Because right now, the loudest voices are the ones that are the nuttiest.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right, right. And check it out, dude. You know what I've been... Okay, let's dive into this little race thing a little bit more. Because I've been telling you about... the chinese people the culture and not and also but not just them it's really it's really not them it's really their their government how they run and what they do and it's not that i i'm i'm i know they don't like black people i've been telling you for the longest about that um but at the same time buddy there's nothing like hearing it from somebody else that is actually out there big out there right now right now buddy out there saying the same thing i've been saying and so i'm going to play i'm going to play this because you guys should you should you should hear this you should actually hear this so hey look i'm gonna put i'm gonna play this okay so hold on
SPEAKER 07 :
unless you're the reason that your parents drank, you see that it was a big victory, not just for President Trump, but for America. Before the president did what he did, China's The United States were a little over 20% on average. Now they're 10. Our tariffs on China were a little over 20. Now they're 30. That's a 20-point swing. Now, I've listened all day to some of my Democratic colleagues say that, well, we didn't get anything for it. You know, if you believe that, I'm not saying you're the dumbest person in the world, but you better hope the dumbest person in the world doesn't die. It was a clear victory. The other point I would make, I think Trump understands how to deal with China. Look, the Chinese, not the people of China. I'm speaking about the Chinese Communist Party. They're thieves. They steal with both hands. They will steal your socks without taking off your shoes. That's how they've gotten rich. We let them into the World Trade Organization on December 11th of 2001. They started cheating December 12th. And Trump was the first president, he did this in the first term, to ever stand up to China and say, stop the stealing. And now he's doubled down and it's working. We still got a long way to go. China cheats on other ways besides tariffs with quotas and subsidies and stealing intellectual property. But this is a hell of a good start.
SPEAKER 04 :
Bingo! That's why I'm in politics today, because I heard Trump say, China is stealing our intellectual properties, and they did it to me. Bottom line. I never cared or was interested in politics. I always knew that the Democrats wasn't my type of thing. I'm like, nah, I'm not feeling this. But I just basically stayed quiet and just watched. But then when something like that happens to you, You're like, wow. Then you start getting friends over there and then you start finding out the real deal, what's really going on. And he's absolutely right. I've been telling you, they steal everything. Trademarks, copyrights, intellectual properties, and they hit me big. I don't know if I'll ever recover from that. So that's when Trump said that and that's what started the whole thing. That's what started this whole movement with me from I'm a Trumpster to being a Republican, to voting for the first time, to being on Army Uniter, to dealing all this, to battling all these crazies out here on both sides. All of this is because of this man, Trump. And he said it. And now, I think that's John Kennedy on the Hannity Show. He just confirmed everything I've been trying to tell you guys for so long. Oh, we got a caller, another caller? Hang on, Johnny, stay there. Marianne, are you there? All right.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes, I am. How you doing? I'm doing okay, thanks. But I'm in total agreement with you. You'll have to excuse me because since I had COVID, my voice is really bad.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, no problem.
SPEAKER 02 :
Excuse me. But I live in Greeley, and we have been overtaken. And I'm not prejudiced because I am Hispanic. But we've been overtaken by the probably illegal Mexicans that have come here. And it really is not, it's not a safe place anymore. If you drive around, you can see the difference from what it was a couple, three years ago. And people are blaming Trump for everything. This was brought on by the previous administration who prostituted themselves for votes.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 02 :
That's all it was, was vote prostitution. Exactly. And I think here, I'm an elderly woman, but I don't get out a whole lot anymore because I don't feel safe. Because I think we've got a lot of criminal activity here going on. Well, all of Colorado does now.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, you're absolutely right.
SPEAKER 02 :
Reggie, I really commend you for speaking up because I'm kind of like you. I speak up. I don't care who says what. They're not going to shut me up. But we've got to keep on because too many people are afraid to stand up to these haters.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 02 :
And that's what the Democratic Party was one good, good party until they allowed the radical haters to take over. And that's what I call them now, the haters party.
SPEAKER 04 :
So do you like the direction that Trump is doing and everything he's doing and how we're, do you see hope again?
SPEAKER 02 :
I'm of the opinion. Sometimes I'd like to, you know, just zip his mouth because he does say some mean things when he shouldn't. But I'm a lot like he is. I just tell it like it is. But yes, he is doing a great, great job. And even his trip now to the Middle East, how many presidents have done what he's done in just a couple of days?
SPEAKER 04 :
Zero.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. No, this man, he'll go down as the best negotiator there ever was.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, ma'am. I agree 100%.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. So, no, Trump will do well, even though a lot of people don't like him. You have to respect him for the good job that he's doing, even though he does get mouthy sometimes. But you have to overlook that because we all have faults.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, ma'am. And thank you for calling in and thank you for being a fan of I'm a Unita. And we're going to break. I love your program. I love you, too. I love you, too. Thank you. We'll be right back. Back, back.
SPEAKER 01 :
560 KLZ, your home station. Black lives, MAGA, the future of media and the movement. Denver, Colorado, a battleground of radical liberal control, crime, and chaos. The far left is coming hard, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars to flood the airwaves with lies, propaganda, and anti-American agendas, all designed to destroy President Trump, the conservative movement, and the Republican vision for America. But Reggie, Rocco, and his elite team of whiz kids are standing in the way, fighting back with truth, technology, and media dominance. With cutting-edge AI, CGI, and animation, we're building the ultimate conservative media powerhouse to expose their lies, crush their false narratives, and give power back to the people. Information is power, but those who control how information is distributed, that's a superpower. Reggie Rocco, the left is spending billions to destroy us. We must fight back. Send your donations to KLZ 560 AM, payable to Black Lives MAGA, or donate online. at www.weareblacklivesmaga.com. They'll stop at nothing. We must stop at nothing. Stand with us. Fight. Let's go! Win MAGA.
SPEAKER 08 :
Freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Ultimately, these are the questions that we should ask when looking at policy decisions facing our communities, our state, and our country today. Kim Munson here. Join me every weekday morning, 6 to 7 a.m., as we look at important issues and how they affect you and your life. Encore broadcasts air from 10 to 11 p.m. every weeknight. Tune in to the conversation with The Kim Munson Show right here on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, you're listening to 560 KLC. I'm your nighter. We got my boy, Lukey Luke. Of course, this would not run without him. And Johnny, you still in line?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep, I'm here.
SPEAKER 04 :
I appreciate that, caller. That was very, very sweet, very powerful. And I'm telling you guys, we all just have to stick together. We got to weed out the fakes and the phonies and people that's trying to destroy us. And mainly it's on the left, but there are some from the right as well. And and just move together as one. Now, like she said, we're not going to all agree on certain things. There's something that really gets to me and I'm not going to change how, okay, look. There's a lady, what's her name, what's her name? I think she's Representative Summer. She's introducing, pushing for trillions of dollars for reparations. Now, that's the whole word people hate to hear. I don't know why you hate it. You just hear what Trump just said about being theft and stealing and stop this and stop that. You say people have to own up for the wrongs that they've done, and whatever wrong you gotta make right, that's in the Bible, all kind of stuff says it. So keep that same energy. So I'm totally, as a Republican, and as somebody who's put they life on the line for this movement, money, time, everything, credibility on the line for this movement, I'm 100%, I don't know what the bill is, I haven't read it, I don't care. but something definitely has to be done. Because when I sit here and I use that same energy and I think about, hmm, in the course of what, 400 years of free labor, copyright infringement, intellectual property theft, trademark theft, mass murder and mutilation and torture, rape, decapitation, What the heck? This is to my ancestors, people. No, that has to be dealt with. I don't care how we do it, who do it, I put it in Trump's hands. Whatever he say, whatever he do and how he wanna do, that's one dude I completely trust. And I just sit back and let the powers that be. But don't come to me with nothing else, man. That energy, you know, I know what I could do with 400 years of free labor, you know what I'm saying? I know what Luke could do with 400 years of free labor. So, you know, hey, it's not about It's not about the money thing. It's about making it whole, making us feel appreciated. And that's what you have to do. You give billions of dollars to Ukraine, who don't even like this country, who never had anything to do with this country. We could have been over with this reparation stuff. You give millions and millions and millions of dollars to these illegal aliens that are here, coming over here, stealing, killing, and dealing. And you give them millions and millions of dollars. Like the lady said before, and the bottom line is we could have been over with that. We could have been over with this. It's not going to go away. It has to be done. It has to be done. And I'm telling you, I say this all the time. You know, America wasn't born great, but she was made great. And all that stuff that happened, you know, to my people and my ancestors, that's the most horrific, horrible thing. You can't even feel or touch how it makes me feel every day walking around. And then... It's even worse now because I've also told you it took powerful, great Christian white people to help us and get us free. So don't forget that. Every movement that we've had, the Republicans helped us get Keep it and make it right. So yes, I tell you all the time, that's 100% true. And we couldn't have done it without them. That's the bottom line. We couldn't have done anything without these people. So don't get it twisted. Two things can be true. Two things can be true. I also say on this program that, you know, it's not the white man in today's world that's our enemy. He's really our only friend. He is. Hispanics don't like us. Chinese don't like us. We're not respected across, even I told you African, real African black people do not, real Africans don't like American black people. How many times have I said that? Johnny, I've said that over and over and over again. So there's a personality named Charleston White that's big, The internet. He's big and he does a lot of controversial stuff, but he's actually really smart. He went through a lot of stuff and blah, blah, blah, blah. His tactics are kind of strange, but he's very, very smart and he's truthful. And if we have that clip, do we have that clip? Did you send me a clip? I don't know. I don't know. I think we have a clip, but I'll look. I might have texted. I don't know. But let me tell you what this man said. He literally... He literally says that the white man is our only friend. The white man is our only friend. And you can't just play his videos and what he says because it's cussing and different things in there. That's why it always has to be edited down. But I'm telling you, look up Charleston White. what he says about the white man being the the black man's only friend he's he mentions he calls them out he calls out uh hispanics he calls out the chinese he calls out the town he calls out all these other uh ethnicities and and says that they all hate us they all disrespect us they just use us to make money off of us in our neighborhoods he said The only friend we have is the white man. How many times have I freaking been saying this? I've been saying this for so long. So even though slavery was horrible and all this stuff, and yes, it needs to be something done about that. I will never, never change that. It's 100% needs to be done. But at the same time, realize that there were great white men that put their life up and their families up and everything to help us free. And then since then, most of those people have always been Right for the black movement. Everything that's been done for us has been done for us by the Republican Party. Wake the hell up. Excuse my language. I know that's not FCC, I hope. But the bottom line, dude. White people are our best friends. And he says they're our only friends. So I just like that validation. I love that energy to be the same, because it's factual. It's facts. There's videos and comment that's going around about, okay, well if that's true, who is our worst enemy? And one thing you do, you gotta look in the mirror. It's black people killing black people. Period. I can go anywhere on this planet, well, I'll say in America, and I'm not afraid in any white community. Just not. But I guarantee you, there's a bunch of places that I can't walk down in my own black neighborhoods, and because it'd be a great chance that I'm going to get annihilated. That is a fact. So the other thing is, I told you about, and this is not all of them, but this is black women. I said black women is the worst enemy of the black men. She's been trained and manipulated by the other side to do whatever they do to destroy. It's a major conflict. So in order, we have to fix that within ourselves. And I think part of that is being a conservative and a Republican, being Christian, being honest, being able to look in the mirror. I tell everybody, I'm not perfect. And whoever it is, throw the first stone. I want to be there to watch this. Get your popcorn ready. I want to watch this. Because I guarantee you, after I get out of here, I got some business stuff to do. It's Friday night. I will be in the club. I'm just telling you right now, I'm single. I'm gonna do what I wanna do. But wherever I go, I take my spirit and my energy and I go into these places and I help the conservative movement. I help change people's mind. I don't care if they're black, white, Hispanic, wherever, into these places because you have to, if you're a doctor, do you go to where everybody's healthy or do you go to where the sick is?
SPEAKER 03 :
Just common sense. Hey, let me ask you this, Reggie, because in order for these black guys to be, you know, these killing machines, there had to be some father, there had to be a male involved unless they got sperm donated, but I doubt that. So where are these guys that should be raising these boys? Okay, I'm a dad, so I have to talk to the guys that came through. my way, trying to get a hold of my daughters and let them know, you know, this is who I am, this is where I stand, but I can't be the only one. And I know there's, you know, 30% of us that are doing it, but what happened to the 70%? Where are they and why are they producing so many of these criminals?
SPEAKER 04 :
Good question. Where do you think they are?
SPEAKER 03 :
I think about that. just pleasing themselves because we have this food desert. You put all this junk in your body. They got all these chemicals that are running through your body. They put you on Prozac and all these kind of chemicals. And I think this is a systematic thing that they have done to these young black boys to get them numbed up enough where, okay, if I got to kill this person to get where I'm going, well, I'm going to do that. And then now the courts would, of course, this one, I don't know if you heard about this with one kid, they arrested him several times. He's 18 now, but he started, he's just shot into like, these guys are recording a video, music video, and he just shot into the crowd. But he's been arrested many times, doing many things, and they just keep letting him go. Now, I don't know if they're going to let him go this time, but it's just a pattern of just, okay, we caught you.
SPEAKER 04 :
What's his nationality?
SPEAKER 03 :
Go back out there and do some more. You know what? I don't know. I know the nationality. There's one kid that ran into a girl's car. He's from... It's one of those Mexican countries. He's illegal. But I don't know the one that shot at the video crowd. I have a feeling that is a minority.
SPEAKER 04 :
I can tell you this, man. People on the outside and even our blood runs through our veins. We're exactly the same. The color doesn't matter. What region you were born in doesn't matter. It's how you raise. You become a product of your environment. And so if somebody is crazy, that's why I don't understand how we do it. I would never let infant kids be adopted by gays or transgender. I'm just sorry, I'm not. I wouldn't do it because that's destroying that kid's life before it even has a chance to develop into God's creature. That's the bottom line. You're destroying them. And so I don't know why we let that happen. You're Rosie O'Donnell's and all these people. Come on. Come on, dude. This is this is literally murder. This is murder, too. You're completely destroyed. You know, what's her name? Angelina Jolie or whatever had her kids and she adopted whatever black kids, males in dresses. Like, come on man, this is genocide in another way. So I wouldn't even let that happen. And I tell everybody, I have gay friends, I have gay people in my family. But never, ever, ever will they ever come to me and try to press that ideology on me because they would get ate up. Because it's the truth. You do what you want with your life, I'm not the judge or the jury. But there is a standard. There is a natural biological thing. There's a thing that we have, even in your spirituality, everything. There is a way that's undeniable when it comes to man and woman. And I'm telling you right now, all of this really took place with the Democrats and Obama. that's when all this got unleashed. And whether you like it or not, Obama's gay, dude. Judge Joe Brown and all these other people have said and came out with this, and you keep, how many times, you're married, how many times have you keep calling your wife a man's name? I just want to know, has that ever been done? Luke, have you ever called your girl a guy's name? Ever? No, no. Okay, has your wife ever been talking and said, yeah, yeah, and as a man, I like to do, oh, has she ever said, called herself a man? No. Okay, okay, it's self-explanatory. Now, me, if I go to jail for anything, I would like to go and see like Michelle Obama and I'd run up to her and stick her with a needle and run. And I'd be running straight to the DNA office. Here, analyze this. Quick, analyze this. I'm going down in history, but get the truth out. Because I really don't know. It just seems like all the evidence points to something like that. But even just say she really is a woman and say he's not gay. Let's just say that. Why on earth would they go through the lengths of trying to turn America into this transgender, you know, alphabet mentality people? I mean, come on, man. Come on. There's nothing.
SPEAKER 03 :
Part of it is getting, you know, you've been hearing about like they want to reduce the population.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, but you can do it. If you reduce the population, that's a long, that's a hard, long way. They're already doing that with abortion. That's crazy. And you're telling me you gotta manipulate a kid to believe that he's not a man, but then he's a girl, but then he's a dog, then he's a girl, then a man and a girl. Nah, man, no, no, no. And then try to put that ideology on everybody? No. There's different ways you can do that. That right there is so bad, and it takes so long. If the population... First of all, Luke, you answer this for me. Is the Earth overpopulated?
SPEAKER 05 :
Depends on what you mean. I mean, the Earth is big. We have plenty of space, but there's no buildings there. So I think it's not so much that the Earth is overpopulated. It's there are certain countries that are too densely populated. You look at places like China. You look at places like India. You look at some of the major cities around the U.S. Those places are overcrowded. You take a flight over the Rocky Mountains and you get hundreds of miles of empty nothings. Plenty of space. We're just all kind of jam-packed on top of each other in these key areas.
SPEAKER 04 :
So what's a better solution than trying to reduce the world's population, how they're doing? Like Johnny said, maybe because they're using the gay transgender stuff, the manipulation to try to use that as depopulation. Other things they do, putting up food, other kind of crazy stuff that they're trying to do to get rid of us. What way is a better way if you really care about the earth and you're saying, oh, there's not enough space or we need to spread people out, what's a better way to do it?
SPEAKER 05 :
That's a good question. I've never been of the opinion that it's a big global conspiracy to depopulate the planet. I don't know how the government runs, but I've worked on enough group projects, and I've been in enough jobs. It's hard to organize 20 people to agree on one thing. I don't think you're getting a whole globe of people all agreeing to depopulate the place. But also, if you... I mean, really. I mean, let's be really honest. If you wanted to kill a lot of people, you just drop a nuke in a city center, right? And be done with it, right? There are easier ways to do this. Release a crazy virus that only targets specific demographics. Edit the genomes or gene edit or gene splice, whoever you want. I mean, we've done it with mosquitoes, right? Make them all infertile. It's not... It's not terribly hard, so I think it's like all these roundabout methods to do it subtly. It's like they do enough evil out in the open. I don't think they'd be subtle about this one if that's what they were doing. I agree. So I think that thing's a hoax.
SPEAKER 03 :
but okay you look at all the chemicals that they're putting in our food and and we're getting bigger and bigger and bigger and it this started like around the around the 50s with the with the tv dinners and and all these other foods that pumping these animals up with all these
SPEAKER 05 :
Steroids and all this stuff. I don't think it's depopulation, though. I mean, Occam's razor, right? The likely solution is the most obvious one. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's profitable. I don't think it's a big conspiracy. I think it makes some money. So, they're just going to keep doing it because it keeps making them money.
SPEAKER 04 :
I agree. Johnny, 100%, there's some truth in what you're saying, but for the most part, it's about the dollars. And when Trump's over here and he says all these drug prices and everything, look at what he's doing, the stuff he's doing for seniors. He just dedicated all this money that they're using on illegal aliens to build a center for our vets. I mean, this is common sense. stuff that needed to happen and go on, but the other side is never going to give it credit. So you have to, at some point, you have to just quit listening to them and you either roll with me or get rolled over. That's the bottom line. That's my mentality with that stuff. Now, don't, y'all, don't let me get to Washington, but if I get into Washington, y'all, do you understand? Like, oh my God. It would just be so crazy because I really, I'm trying to make a difference for the next generation. And right now, we finally got a chance to do it. You're living in the greatest time in history in a long time in this country's existence. What, 200-something, 250, 250 or something? This is the greatest time of the modern era ever, ever. You're living in it right now. Be a part of it. Stand up, make a difference. Go down in history. Even if people don't know you, every little bit you do helps. And so it's just what it is. Some people are, I got an email the other day, or was it a text? I can't remember, man. And it was telling me the same, basically the same thing, like, yo, Reg, what are you going to do? I'm like, what do you mean, what am I doing? What are you going to do? Don't think I would not get on a plane and go down and sit and talk with any of these people. But what's so funny is that the people that I know and that have been in politics and has made it to Washington and back and forth, they're never going to come get me. They're never going to come get me. I steal the show. I'm a show stealer. You know what I'm saying? Because I don't mess around. I pattern myself after Trump, period. So you're gonna know who I am and where I stand and everything, but also likable. I'm likable. So, yeah, I'm going to change a lot of stuff. And I'm doing as much as I can here. And like I keep saying, thank you, Crawford, for broadcasting to the big guy. And, of course, Mike. And I got the dopest producer, yo. Like, Lukey Luke is just the man. And a lot of change, man. A lot of change is happening. A lot of stuff. And there's more stuff to come. Remember this announcement that's coming? It'll be coming probably Monday or Tuesday, but you'll hear about it before I get to tell you. But I already know about it. It was already planned for me to even break it out, but we can't do it until that time. So just remember I told you. I believe, Johnny, that we're on the best path for spiritual, for Christians, for peace, love, common sense, logic. But we got to throw them reparations in there, man. We got to do it. I don't care, y'all. I don't care. Get with me. We need to handle this. We could have took half of Ukraine's money and say, here you go. This is all we got. Put it in there, do it how you need to do. Don't count everything, just do it and it's done. Don't you, it feels such a relief to just put that behind and get it done and over with. But it needs to be done. So I'm gonna keep advocating on all of that stuff. Because I just like the same energy and I love people. And if you choose to do something with your life and your body, as long as it doesn't affect the unborn or the elderly, our vets, and if you're not trying to push devil worship, and them are my boundaries. Everything else, I mean, do you. Luke, if somebody want to jump in the ocean and swim with great white sharks, he's a fool. But if he wants to do it, that's his life. Let him go ahead.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. I think if you're an adult, you do whatever you want, man. It's none of my business.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I'm with you 100%. And man, this time sure be flying. Is it that time, Luke?
SPEAKER 05 :
It is. It is. It is that time, Reg.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, man. We're going to have to count it down. Here we go. Three, two, one, and we out. Yeah. All right, y'all. It's that time. We out of here. But you've been listening to KLC 560 AM. I'm a Unite to Reggie Rocko. Yeah. It's fun. We will tackle the issues. We will unite the country.
SPEAKER 1 :
Everyone.
SPEAKER 04 :
Every Friday morning from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. It's about love, y'all. Have a wonderful morning and a great day.
Join Reggie Rocco and his team as they dive into the complex dynamics of American politics and culture. In this episode, hear about President Trump's overseas respect and how it contrasts with domestic controversies. Reggie passionately discusses patriotism, the significance of the American flag, and the lack of it in public displays as he sees. Challenging political leaders and decisions, Reggie calls for adherence to keeping promises to the American people.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's up? What's up? What's up? You tuned in to 560 KLZ. KLZ. I'm a Uniter. I'm a Uniter. I'm your host, Reggie Rocco.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Yeah. KLZ. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
So right about now, we want everybody, I mean everybody, stand up. Stand up. Hold your hands up high. This is about America, baby. We bring people together. I mean, I don't.
SPEAKER 06 :
To the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
SPEAKER 04 :
Woo, 560 KLZ, this is Amiya Nida, of course with Reggie Rocco and my super producer, Lukey Luke. And you know, one of the best things I love about coming into the studio is Luke and I are facing each other and he's looking at me, he's like, okay, what you about to say? What are you gonna say? Okay, we always start off with the weather and this view. I like this. You agree? It's a good view. I can't complain. It's warm? Very nice outside, yes. Have that big American flag right there? We do, in fact. How come it's not like a whole bunch of American flags? Because I see Hispanic and Cuba and Mexico all over this place now. And I don't never see the patriotic spirit of people hanging the flag from their buildings or cars and stuff like that. Unless it's a rally or something like that. We need to fix that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Be the change you want to see in the world, Reg. Get a big flag, attach it to your Range Rover. Fly it down the road.
SPEAKER 04 :
Hey, dude, listen to this. And I'm serious. This is not a I told you so, but this is more verification. And I love it, dude. I love it. So, my boy, but you know who that is, Trump. Ah, man, he was in the Middle East. He killed it, man. I don't want to hear nothing from nobody. Who'd he kill? He killed it. Like, metaphor. I see, I see. Dude, they gave this man a $400 million jet for Air Force One. Everybody going crazy. Trump said, I'm not keeping it personal. He doesn't need the jet. But if you're dumb enough... to believe that he's not gonna take that jet and have all our people go over it from head to toe, Subtract some stuff, add some stuff, whatever. But that's exactly, that is a sign of respect. You must not know culture because that, to those people, is a sign of respect to give you something like that. Man, my God, they broke all kind of rules. Now, I told you I have Kuwaiti friends. Other friend, he's not Iran. I think he's Iraq. And then Dubai. Dude. They have strict rules that they go by over there. And I watched Saudi Arabia completely alter those rules. First of all, when Trump pulled up, he pulled up not on a red carpet, on a purple carpet. You know what that means? No. Royalty. That's what stands for royalty for them. So he's walking out of Air Force One. And then second of all, the prince never greets anybody on the carpet as they're getting off the plane. But he was right there for President Trump. Facts. I keep telling you, this man is not just the father of America. He's the leader of the world. He is. And all the money, all the jobs, everything that he's doing, my God, to bring peace. I mean, man, this is the greatest man ever. Ever! Like, I, in my lifetime, have not heard of or met, seen, talked about anyone more influential, more powerful, more strong, more big-hearted. I mean, this dude is all of that and a bag of your favorite chips. Now, there's other things, dude. I will say this. what do you do when the whole world loves your president and we have people here that don't and they're all liberals and democrats and most of them we have some traitors or pretenders uh but what what do you what do you do i mean how do you manifest energy that is respectful Get on board with this man so we can really dominate. He told you about the tariffs. What did I tell you? I said, my Chinese friend told me companies in China are closing down, people marching in the streets, all of this. I've been telling you what, is this like the third week now? Now you see China's came to the table. 90-day pause. Dude. Trump is a master. Master! And... I'm looking and I'm like, wow, we're really, all these jobs, everything he's bringing here, all this production, everything's going on, man. Our future, our kids, and if we can keep control of the Senate and House, our kids' kids are gonna be in an America that unlike nothing we've ever seen before. And it's all because of this man. And so understand, you're seeing greatness You're seeing greatness. And I don't know him personally. If I did, whoo. Matter of fact, all these I'm Luke, all this stuff I've been telling you guys before it even comes out, all that is all been true, true, true, true, true. Imagine what I would do on Trump's team. My God, because. I'm not interested in. It seems like most politicians, they want to get in there, they want to get that power, get that check, then they forget where they came from. It's like, yo, dude, or ma'am, you work for the American people. And that's what you're supposed to do. That's how I would be doing 24-7, is what I ran on, just like him, and getting it done, period. What else am I gonna do? You do get off on Congress, right? It's not like a 24-hour job, right? You go in there, you punch the clock. Sometimes you don't even punch the clock, whatever it is. You will have time for yourself, right? I can still party and do the boogie down and all the other stuff I wanna do, but on the clock, buddy? It's 100% pushing for what people voted for, why they voted me in. I think that will change for the better once we get term limits, because right now it's too wide open. They make money, they deal with lobbyists, they travel, they're hypocrites all over. What's her name, AOC? Oh, Green New Deal, electric this. Well, now she's bashing electric, Elon, the top electric car maker. The Green New Deal, what? Where's that? But you're flying in jets and all this other stuff, but you want us to do what you say, not as you do. No, no, same energy, same energy. I'm a same energy guy. And when you see the love, And I don't know if you guys ever been overseas. I don't know if you've ever known anybody in those circles. I have and I do. But I've never been overseas physically. Let me tell you that. I won't do it simply because, man, I might get stuck over there. And I just don't want to. I might do something. I might say something to one of the girls or something. Like, hey, what's up, man?
SPEAKER 1 :
Come with me.
SPEAKER 04 :
I'll be calling you, Luke. Luke, get me out. What'd you do? Nothing. I just said, hey, hey, hello, beautiful. How are you? Come with me. Cancel this, man. Cancel. I'm going to cancel. I'm going to stay here. But the people that I do know from there that are here, I know about the rules. I know what they do and they say. So for Trump to go over there, a white man from America, which over there they try to call the West the devil. This guy is unbelievable. Un-freaking-believable. Trump is the man. And then I just seen something with Poland. So you have these politicians in Poland having this big rally and they're talking about making their country better and stopping this illegal immigration. Then the crowd starts chanting. Wow, dude! Why aren't we building a statue of this guy? How come it should be illegal for anybody to say anything negative about this dude? Is there any way we can deport, export, any type of port these people up out of here? Because I would just love to see them gone. Gone, completely gone. America is back, baby. I'm back! We back, buddy. And who was doubting the stock market? What did Trump say? He said, the stock market's going to be great and fine. Matter of fact, you need to go buy stock. He told you. He wasn't like Pelosi and him and all that, pretending they don't know anything and then they do it behind your back and they make them all. No, Trump announced it. That dude is, whoo-hoo. He said, hey, everybody go buy stocks. He told you. You gotta give it up to this dude. And I look at it like this. Democrats, you got Trump-Durame syndrome so bad, I don't care what you call it, all we focus on is the wrong things that you do, because you're corrupt. You're corrupt, that party is corrupt. completely corrupt and no matter what Trump will do or anything that's in their face or you show them or anything that's positive they right now they're not even they're not even advertising or promoting what the people of the United States want they only are doing their own agenda and I don't get it I don't understand why we're not attacking that on their side like yo man This is what the people wanted. How are you gonna shut up, join the plan, and let's keep this going? It's our time, but they're not because they're ill. They're mentally ill, dude. They have the syndrome that's, it's unstoppable. Like, it's so bad. I mean, and so Democrats, choices you make or have made in anger cannot be undone. Do you understand that? You got to understand what is going on. Now, I'm looking up here also. Let's go to, because, you know, we like to cover everything. We ain't going to get into the Diddy stuff yet because I've been telling you that for years. Hold on. Who we got on the line? Johnny, what's up, buddy?
SPEAKER 03 :
Hey, you know, the only thing I'm worried about is I'm hearing the rumblings that all the work that those did is not going to be applied to this big, beautiful bill. And mainly I'm hearing it's because the Republicans, they are dipping into the pot. So they're not going to raise their voice and say, wait a minute, let's put in. And I heard that we're not going to get the $5,000 a piece per person, whatever. And I'm thinking like, Are they going to do the rope-a-dope and big talk but no follow-through?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, we have to wait and see on that. But I can tell you this. I trust Trump. I trust him. Yeah, but see, he's a chess player. Fake left, go right. So even if that bill, whatever the changes they have to make or do, whatever it goes through, trust me, Trump will be doing something on the other end to make that up. I literally have no concern. The beautiful bill is exactly what he said it was going to be. And if Trump could just do it without anybody else, it would be done already. We'd be on to the next... We'll be on to the next subject. But we have to go through this little process. I think it's ego thing. Because I don't understand. All the Republicans in Congress, you're supposed to just go, whatever Trump say, vote with it. Vote for it, whatever it is. That's complete trust. That's complete honesty. That's completely showing that you're with the movement. You have to be able to trust. And I trust this man. I trust this man. more than you'll ever, ever believe. And I'm just telling you, big dog, just, just no matter what it is, if they have to change or do certain things, it's not because of Trump. It's not because of Trump. So let it go through, let it be passed, let it be signed, all that other bull. And let's get to the next thing. Cause he will make it up. You know, you know what I, what's worrying me is like right now, there's supposedly like 12, 12 sitting senators, uh, under criminal investigation for what, foreign lobbying, kickbacks, that type of stuff. I pray that this is true. I don't know. If I was there, I would definitely know. But we must prosecute to the fullest. See, because you have to have that same energy to keep black people and minorities on your side. We need to know that when you commit a crime, that you're going to be responsible for it. You're gonna be prosecuted. You're going to be trialed for that crime. That's what makes us sleep good at night. That's what makes us feel fair. Because if you don't do it, You're going to lose everybody. If you don't do it, if you back down in any way, you're going to lose it. Like those fools in Congress threatening, you're making threats. I dare you. If you arrest all the Congress people that attack ICE, man, I'm telling you right now, the ICE friend I know, he'd have been boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. He wouldn't have took none of that. If I was in ICE, I would have done the same thing. You have these Congress people attacking ICE. Dude, it would have been, they need to take them and they should have took them straight into jail. There should not be any special treatment. And then now Congress is, the Democrats are threatening ICE and the DOJ. Come on, man. You can't let that go. You will lose the country. You will lose us. You have to do what is needed to be done. And I'm trusting Trump, you know, I'm trusting Trump to do this because it has to be done. You cannot have special treatment, preferred treatment with these maniacs. You can't do it. You have to treat everybody, justice is supposed to be blind, justice is supposed to be even, equal. Say no, you gotta arrest these people. You gotta do what you have to do to make it right. You gotta bring everybody in line. Now, everybody knows I talk about all kind of racial stuff and everything, and I'm not racist. I'm a mixed culture in my family, but I just keep it real. What I am tired of everywhere I go, And I mean this to heart, so if you open your ears and listen very closely, because I do not bite my tongue, at least not on purpose. I'm tired of all this carnival music. You know what I mean by that? Hispanic music. Mexican music. It sounds like a dang carnival, right? And I'm in the music industry, and I like all kinds of music. I even like that, and you know, the right place, right time, all that. I love the culture. Dude, everywhere I go, all I hear is this dang, all this stuff, and it's just everywhere. It's everywhere!
SPEAKER 03 :
I got to tell you the story. When I was 20 years old, it was 1980, 3 o'clock in the morning, they would be playing this music, I think like... Don't you guys work?
SPEAKER 04 :
Hey, man, I would say the same thing if it was rap music going 24 hours a day, if it was rock and roll going 24 hours a day. This is America, right? The melting pot is different cultures. I want to see different cultures. You guys, the Democrats and I'll put it on you, you Caucasian people. You let this happen. You let the Democrats do this and bring all these people in here and they are here to take over, period. And we're getting them out, but they are here to take over. And so that your culture, you know, there is no white culture, no black culture. It's only Mexican culture. That's all that's around this thing. Everywhere I go, I don't care if I'm in McDonald's, if I'm shopping in the mall, if I'm at a hotel, if I'm in a club, if I'm driving my car down the street, you know what I'm saying? If I'm in an outdoor restroom, I'm still hearing it. So, yeah, I'm so tired of that. I am so tired of that. That's something that I just had to just tell you guys. I'm just like, nah, man. What did you do? What did you do to America? What did you do? I don't need to even visit Latin America or Mexico or anything like that. I'm living in it. I'm here in America.
SPEAKER 03 :
When was the last time you were at the Denver General, that hospital in, I don't know, Bannock? My wife goes in there and she says, all Hispanics are working in there. And she says, well... Where's all the white people or the other people that seem like they're all there? So I don't know if it's DEI hiring or they just... No, let me break it down to you.
SPEAKER 04 :
I don't know. Because I'm going to get into some real deep racial stuff here coming up real soon. But while you see that... because they infiltrated all those people into our neighborhoods. I go to KFC, I don't see one black face. Popeyes chicken, not one black face. I don't even really see white people anymore. It's all Hispanic. All of it. So good luck with that. That's what it is, buddy. And you know I'm not racist. You know I love Latina, white men. But dude, dude, dude, come on, man. And so, I'm gonna, you know, not, you know how I like to switch gears and go back and, cause this is a conversation, man. You have to express yourself. You have to get the truth out and people's gotta hear you. And it's been, you know, there's gonna be an announcement that I was going to do today. It's a big one too, but the person that contacted me doesn't want me to say anything. until monday which you know my show it doesn't come on again until friday so but you're gonna you would be hearing it first from me i guarantee you would be coming to you through me first but we'll we'll tell you what that is after monday by then you'll probably see it all on the news so you Yeah, I break those stories, man. People call me, people say, hey, they trust me, they want my energy. I mean, the text I received from this person was so complimentary. It was humbling. It was humbling. And I'm out here doing this, and like I say, I appreciate you, Luke, Mike, Mr. Crawford, everybody that's been a part of this, Kim, Evie, all kind of people, to be able to reach out to the minority communities and do this battle, do this fight. And that's what it is. It's a battle. And trust me, the Democrats are trying everything they can right now create false narratives, fake incidents to get to the minorities, Hispanic and black, to get to them and change their mind. They're trying everything they can to do it. So I keep telling them every day, be strong, don't believe it, do not believe it. Understand, look, research, look where we are, look what's going on, look what this man is doing. Don't fall for the other side. The other side, truly, to me, man, I know it's an easy way, an easy word to say, I truly believe they're evil, dude. That's just how I feel. If you guys don't like it, bring the smoke, because that's exactly how I feel about the other side. I am so sick.
SPEAKER 03 :
Or if you're being silent, if you're being silent, You're a Democrat and you say, hey, that's not me. You're going to have to lift up your voice and say, so we can know. Because right now, the loudest voices are the ones that are the nuttiest.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right, right. And check it out, dude. You know what I've been... Okay, let's dive into this little race thing a little bit more. Because I've been telling you about... the chinese people the culture and not and also but not just them it's really it's really not them it's really their their government how they run and what they do and it's not that i i'm i'm i know they don't like black people i've been telling you for the longest about that um but at the same time buddy there's nothing like hearing it from somebody else that is actually out there big out there right now right now buddy out there saying the same thing i've been saying and so i'm going to play i'm going to play this because you guys should you should you should hear this you should actually hear this so hey look i'm gonna put i'm gonna play this okay so hold on
SPEAKER 07 :
unless you're the reason that your parents drank, you see that it was a big victory, not just for President Trump, but for America. Before the president did what he did, China's The United States were a little over 20% on average. Now they're 10. Our tariffs on China were a little over 20. Now they're 30. That's a 20-point swing. Now, I've listened all day to some of my Democratic colleagues say that, well, we didn't get anything for it. You know, if you believe that, I'm not saying you're the dumbest person in the world, but you better hope the dumbest person in the world doesn't die. It was a clear victory. The other point I would make, I think Trump understands how to deal with China. Look, the Chinese, not the people of China. I'm speaking about the Chinese Communist Party. They're thieves. They steal with both hands. They will steal your socks without taking off your shoes. That's how they've gotten rich. We let them into the World Trade Organization on December 11th of 2001. They started cheating December 12th. And Trump was the first president, he did this in the first term, to ever stand up to China and say, stop the stealing. And now he's doubled down and it's working. We still got a long way to go. China cheats on other ways besides tariffs with quotas and subsidies and stealing intellectual property. But this is a hell of a good start.
SPEAKER 04 :
Bingo! That's why I'm in politics today, because I heard Trump say, China is stealing our intellectual properties, and they did it to me. Bottom line. I never cared or was interested in politics. I always knew that the Democrats wasn't my type of thing. I'm like, nah, I'm not feeling this. But I just basically stayed quiet and just watched. But then when something like that happens to you, You're like, wow. Then you start getting friends over there and then you start finding out the real deal, what's really going on. And he's absolutely right. I've been telling you, they steal everything. Trademarks, copyrights, intellectual properties, and they hit me big. I don't know if I'll ever recover from that. So that's when Trump said that and that's what started the whole thing. That's what started this whole movement with me from I'm a Trumpster to being a Republican, to voting for the first time, to being on Army Uniter, to dealing all this, to battling all these crazies out here on both sides. All of this is because of this man, Trump. And he said it. And now, I think that's John Kennedy on the Hannity Show. He just confirmed everything I've been trying to tell you guys for so long. Oh, we got a caller, another caller? Hang on, Johnny, stay there. Marianne, are you there? All right.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes, I am. How you doing? I'm doing okay, thanks. But I'm in total agreement with you. You'll have to excuse me because since I had COVID, my voice is really bad.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, no problem.
SPEAKER 02 :
Excuse me. But I live in Greeley, and we have been overtaken. And I'm not prejudiced because I am Hispanic. But we've been overtaken by the probably illegal Mexicans that have come here. And it really is not, it's not a safe place anymore. If you drive around, you can see the difference from what it was a couple, three years ago. And people are blaming Trump for everything. This was brought on by the previous administration who prostituted themselves for votes.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 02 :
That's all it was, was vote prostitution. Exactly. And I think here, I'm an elderly woman, but I don't get out a whole lot anymore because I don't feel safe. Because I think we've got a lot of criminal activity here going on. Well, all of Colorado does now.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, you're absolutely right.
SPEAKER 02 :
Reggie, I really commend you for speaking up because I'm kind of like you. I speak up. I don't care who says what. They're not going to shut me up. But we've got to keep on because too many people are afraid to stand up to these haters.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 02 :
And that's what the Democratic Party was one good, good party until they allowed the radical haters to take over. And that's what I call them now, the haters party.
SPEAKER 04 :
So do you like the direction that Trump is doing and everything he's doing and how we're, do you see hope again?
SPEAKER 02 :
I'm of the opinion. Sometimes I'd like to, you know, just zip his mouth because he does say some mean things when he shouldn't. But I'm a lot like he is. I just tell it like it is. But yes, he is doing a great, great job. And even his trip now to the Middle East, how many presidents have done what he's done in just a couple of days?
SPEAKER 04 :
Zero.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. No, this man, he'll go down as the best negotiator there ever was.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, ma'am. I agree 100%.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. So, no, Trump will do well, even though a lot of people don't like him. You have to respect him for the good job that he's doing, even though he does get mouthy sometimes. But you have to overlook that because we all have faults.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, ma'am. And thank you for calling in and thank you for being a fan of I'm a Unita. And we're going to break. I love your program. I love you, too. I love you, too. Thank you. We'll be right back. Back, back.
SPEAKER 01 :
560 KLZ, your home station. Black lives, MAGA, the future of media and the movement. Denver, Colorado, a battleground of radical liberal control, crime, and chaos. The far left is coming hard, backed by hundreds of millions of dollars to flood the airwaves with lies, propaganda, and anti-American agendas, all designed to destroy President Trump, the conservative movement, and the Republican vision for America. But Reggie, Rocco, and his elite team of whiz kids are standing in the way, fighting back with truth, technology, and media dominance. With cutting-edge AI, CGI, and animation, we're building the ultimate conservative media powerhouse to expose their lies, crush their false narratives, and give power back to the people. Information is power, but those who control how information is distributed, that's a superpower. Reggie Rocco, the left is spending billions to destroy us. We must fight back. Send your donations to KLZ 560 AM, payable to Black Lives MAGA, or donate online. at www.weareblacklivesmaga.com. They'll stop at nothing. We must stop at nothing. Stand with us. Fight. Let's go! Win MAGA.
SPEAKER 08 :
Freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Ultimately, these are the questions that we should ask when looking at policy decisions facing our communities, our state, and our country today. Kim Munson here. Join me every weekday morning, 6 to 7 a.m., as we look at important issues and how they affect you and your life. Encore broadcasts air from 10 to 11 p.m. every weeknight. Tune in to the conversation with The Kim Munson Show right here on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, you're listening to 560 KLC. I'm your nighter. We got my boy, Lukey Luke. Of course, this would not run without him. And Johnny, you still in line?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep, I'm here.
SPEAKER 04 :
I appreciate that, caller. That was very, very sweet, very powerful. And I'm telling you guys, we all just have to stick together. We got to weed out the fakes and the phonies and people that's trying to destroy us. And mainly it's on the left, but there are some from the right as well. And and just move together as one. Now, like she said, we're not going to all agree on certain things. There's something that really gets to me and I'm not going to change how, okay, look. There's a lady, what's her name, what's her name? I think she's Representative Summer. She's introducing, pushing for trillions of dollars for reparations. Now, that's the whole word people hate to hear. I don't know why you hate it. You just hear what Trump just said about being theft and stealing and stop this and stop that. You say people have to own up for the wrongs that they've done, and whatever wrong you gotta make right, that's in the Bible, all kind of stuff says it. So keep that same energy. So I'm totally, as a Republican, and as somebody who's put they life on the line for this movement, money, time, everything, credibility on the line for this movement, I'm 100%, I don't know what the bill is, I haven't read it, I don't care. but something definitely has to be done. Because when I sit here and I use that same energy and I think about, hmm, in the course of what, 400 years of free labor, copyright infringement, intellectual property theft, trademark theft, mass murder and mutilation and torture, rape, decapitation, What the heck? This is to my ancestors, people. No, that has to be dealt with. I don't care how we do it, who do it, I put it in Trump's hands. Whatever he say, whatever he do and how he wanna do, that's one dude I completely trust. And I just sit back and let the powers that be. But don't come to me with nothing else, man. That energy, you know, I know what I could do with 400 years of free labor, you know what I'm saying? I know what Luke could do with 400 years of free labor. So, you know, hey, it's not about It's not about the money thing. It's about making it whole, making us feel appreciated. And that's what you have to do. You give billions of dollars to Ukraine, who don't even like this country, who never had anything to do with this country. We could have been over with this reparation stuff. You give millions and millions and millions of dollars to these illegal aliens that are here, coming over here, stealing, killing, and dealing. And you give them millions and millions of dollars. Like the lady said before, and the bottom line is we could have been over with that. We could have been over with this. It's not going to go away. It has to be done. It has to be done. And I'm telling you, I say this all the time. You know, America wasn't born great, but she was made great. And all that stuff that happened, you know, to my people and my ancestors, that's the most horrific, horrible thing. You can't even feel or touch how it makes me feel every day walking around. And then... It's even worse now because I've also told you it took powerful, great Christian white people to help us and get us free. So don't forget that. Every movement that we've had, the Republicans helped us get Keep it and make it right. So yes, I tell you all the time, that's 100% true. And we couldn't have done it without them. That's the bottom line. We couldn't have done anything without these people. So don't get it twisted. Two things can be true. Two things can be true. I also say on this program that, you know, it's not the white man in today's world that's our enemy. He's really our only friend. He is. Hispanics don't like us. Chinese don't like us. We're not respected across, even I told you African, real African black people do not, real Africans don't like American black people. How many times have I said that? Johnny, I've said that over and over and over again. So there's a personality named Charleston White that's big, The internet. He's big and he does a lot of controversial stuff, but he's actually really smart. He went through a lot of stuff and blah, blah, blah, blah. His tactics are kind of strange, but he's very, very smart and he's truthful. And if we have that clip, do we have that clip? Did you send me a clip? I don't know. I don't know. I think we have a clip, but I'll look. I might have texted. I don't know. But let me tell you what this man said. He literally... He literally says that the white man is our only friend. The white man is our only friend. And you can't just play his videos and what he says because it's cussing and different things in there. That's why it always has to be edited down. But I'm telling you, look up Charleston White. what he says about the white man being the the black man's only friend he's he mentions he calls them out he calls out uh hispanics he calls out the chinese he calls out the town he calls out all these other uh ethnicities and and says that they all hate us they all disrespect us they just use us to make money off of us in our neighborhoods he said The only friend we have is the white man. How many times have I freaking been saying this? I've been saying this for so long. So even though slavery was horrible and all this stuff, and yes, it needs to be something done about that. I will never, never change that. It's 100% needs to be done. But at the same time, realize that there were great white men that put their life up and their families up and everything to help us free. And then since then, most of those people have always been Right for the black movement. Everything that's been done for us has been done for us by the Republican Party. Wake the hell up. Excuse my language. I know that's not FCC, I hope. But the bottom line, dude. White people are our best friends. And he says they're our only friends. So I just like that validation. I love that energy to be the same, because it's factual. It's facts. There's videos and comment that's going around about, okay, well if that's true, who is our worst enemy? And one thing you do, you gotta look in the mirror. It's black people killing black people. Period. I can go anywhere on this planet, well, I'll say in America, and I'm not afraid in any white community. Just not. But I guarantee you, there's a bunch of places that I can't walk down in my own black neighborhoods, and because it'd be a great chance that I'm going to get annihilated. That is a fact. So the other thing is, I told you about, and this is not all of them, but this is black women. I said black women is the worst enemy of the black men. She's been trained and manipulated by the other side to do whatever they do to destroy. It's a major conflict. So in order, we have to fix that within ourselves. And I think part of that is being a conservative and a Republican, being Christian, being honest, being able to look in the mirror. I tell everybody, I'm not perfect. And whoever it is, throw the first stone. I want to be there to watch this. Get your popcorn ready. I want to watch this. Because I guarantee you, after I get out of here, I got some business stuff to do. It's Friday night. I will be in the club. I'm just telling you right now, I'm single. I'm gonna do what I wanna do. But wherever I go, I take my spirit and my energy and I go into these places and I help the conservative movement. I help change people's mind. I don't care if they're black, white, Hispanic, wherever, into these places because you have to, if you're a doctor, do you go to where everybody's healthy or do you go to where the sick is?
SPEAKER 03 :
Just common sense. Hey, let me ask you this, Reggie, because in order for these black guys to be, you know, these killing machines, there had to be some father, there had to be a male involved unless they got sperm donated, but I doubt that. So where are these guys that should be raising these boys? Okay, I'm a dad, so I have to talk to the guys that came through. my way, trying to get a hold of my daughters and let them know, you know, this is who I am, this is where I stand, but I can't be the only one. And I know there's, you know, 30% of us that are doing it, but what happened to the 70%? Where are they and why are they producing so many of these criminals?
SPEAKER 04 :
Good question. Where do you think they are?
SPEAKER 03 :
I think about that. just pleasing themselves because we have this food desert. You put all this junk in your body. They got all these chemicals that are running through your body. They put you on Prozac and all these kind of chemicals. And I think this is a systematic thing that they have done to these young black boys to get them numbed up enough where, okay, if I got to kill this person to get where I'm going, well, I'm going to do that. And then now the courts would, of course, this one, I don't know if you heard about this with one kid, they arrested him several times. He's 18 now, but he started, he's just shot into like, these guys are recording a video, music video, and he just shot into the crowd. But he's been arrested many times, doing many things, and they just keep letting him go. Now, I don't know if they're going to let him go this time, but it's just a pattern of just, okay, we caught you.
SPEAKER 04 :
What's his nationality?
SPEAKER 03 :
Go back out there and do some more. You know what? I don't know. I know the nationality. There's one kid that ran into a girl's car. He's from... It's one of those Mexican countries. He's illegal. But I don't know the one that shot at the video crowd. I have a feeling that is a minority.
SPEAKER 04 :
I can tell you this, man. People on the outside and even our blood runs through our veins. We're exactly the same. The color doesn't matter. What region you were born in doesn't matter. It's how you raise. You become a product of your environment. And so if somebody is crazy, that's why I don't understand how we do it. I would never let infant kids be adopted by gays or transgender. I'm just sorry, I'm not. I wouldn't do it because that's destroying that kid's life before it even has a chance to develop into God's creature. That's the bottom line. You're destroying them. And so I don't know why we let that happen. You're Rosie O'Donnell's and all these people. Come on. Come on, dude. This is this is literally murder. This is murder, too. You're completely destroyed. You know, what's her name? Angelina Jolie or whatever had her kids and she adopted whatever black kids, males in dresses. Like, come on man, this is genocide in another way. So I wouldn't even let that happen. And I tell everybody, I have gay friends, I have gay people in my family. But never, ever, ever will they ever come to me and try to press that ideology on me because they would get ate up. Because it's the truth. You do what you want with your life, I'm not the judge or the jury. But there is a standard. There is a natural biological thing. There's a thing that we have, even in your spirituality, everything. There is a way that's undeniable when it comes to man and woman. And I'm telling you right now, all of this really took place with the Democrats and Obama. that's when all this got unleashed. And whether you like it or not, Obama's gay, dude. Judge Joe Brown and all these other people have said and came out with this, and you keep, how many times, you're married, how many times have you keep calling your wife a man's name? I just want to know, has that ever been done? Luke, have you ever called your girl a guy's name? Ever? No, no. Okay, has your wife ever been talking and said, yeah, yeah, and as a man, I like to do, oh, has she ever said, called herself a man? No. Okay, okay, it's self-explanatory. Now, me, if I go to jail for anything, I would like to go and see like Michelle Obama and I'd run up to her and stick her with a needle and run. And I'd be running straight to the DNA office. Here, analyze this. Quick, analyze this. I'm going down in history, but get the truth out. Because I really don't know. It just seems like all the evidence points to something like that. But even just say she really is a woman and say he's not gay. Let's just say that. Why on earth would they go through the lengths of trying to turn America into this transgender, you know, alphabet mentality people? I mean, come on, man. Come on. There's nothing.
SPEAKER 03 :
Part of it is getting, you know, you've been hearing about like they want to reduce the population.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, but you can do it. If you reduce the population, that's a long, that's a hard, long way. They're already doing that with abortion. That's crazy. And you're telling me you gotta manipulate a kid to believe that he's not a man, but then he's a girl, but then he's a dog, then he's a girl, then a man and a girl. Nah, man, no, no, no. And then try to put that ideology on everybody? No. There's different ways you can do that. That right there is so bad, and it takes so long. If the population... First of all, Luke, you answer this for me. Is the Earth overpopulated?
SPEAKER 05 :
Depends on what you mean. I mean, the Earth is big. We have plenty of space, but there's no buildings there. So I think it's not so much that the Earth is overpopulated. It's there are certain countries that are too densely populated. You look at places like China. You look at places like India. You look at some of the major cities around the U.S. Those places are overcrowded. You take a flight over the Rocky Mountains and you get hundreds of miles of empty nothings. Plenty of space. We're just all kind of jam-packed on top of each other in these key areas.
SPEAKER 04 :
So what's a better solution than trying to reduce the world's population, how they're doing? Like Johnny said, maybe because they're using the gay transgender stuff, the manipulation to try to use that as depopulation. Other things they do, putting up food, other kind of crazy stuff that they're trying to do to get rid of us. What way is a better way if you really care about the earth and you're saying, oh, there's not enough space or we need to spread people out, what's a better way to do it?
SPEAKER 05 :
That's a good question. I've never been of the opinion that it's a big global conspiracy to depopulate the planet. I don't know how the government runs, but I've worked on enough group projects, and I've been in enough jobs. It's hard to organize 20 people to agree on one thing. I don't think you're getting a whole globe of people all agreeing to depopulate the place. But also, if you... I mean, really. I mean, let's be really honest. If you wanted to kill a lot of people, you just drop a nuke in a city center, right? And be done with it, right? There are easier ways to do this. Release a crazy virus that only targets specific demographics. Edit the genomes or gene edit or gene splice, whoever you want. I mean, we've done it with mosquitoes, right? Make them all infertile. It's not... It's not terribly hard, so I think it's like all these roundabout methods to do it subtly. It's like they do enough evil out in the open. I don't think they'd be subtle about this one if that's what they were doing. I agree. So I think that thing's a hoax.
SPEAKER 03 :
but okay you look at all the chemicals that they're putting in our food and and we're getting bigger and bigger and bigger and it this started like around the around the 50s with the with the tv dinners and and all these other foods that pumping these animals up with all these
SPEAKER 05 :
Steroids and all this stuff. I don't think it's depopulation, though. I mean, Occam's razor, right? The likely solution is the most obvious one. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's profitable. I don't think it's a big conspiracy. I think it makes some money. So, they're just going to keep doing it because it keeps making them money.
SPEAKER 04 :
I agree. Johnny, 100%, there's some truth in what you're saying, but for the most part, it's about the dollars. And when Trump's over here and he says all these drug prices and everything, look at what he's doing, the stuff he's doing for seniors. He just dedicated all this money that they're using on illegal aliens to build a center for our vets. I mean, this is common sense. stuff that needed to happen and go on, but the other side is never going to give it credit. So you have to, at some point, you have to just quit listening to them and you either roll with me or get rolled over. That's the bottom line. That's my mentality with that stuff. Now, don't, y'all, don't let me get to Washington, but if I get into Washington, y'all, do you understand? Like, oh my God. It would just be so crazy because I really, I'm trying to make a difference for the next generation. And right now, we finally got a chance to do it. You're living in the greatest time in history in a long time in this country's existence. What, 200-something, 250, 250 or something? This is the greatest time of the modern era ever, ever. You're living in it right now. Be a part of it. Stand up, make a difference. Go down in history. Even if people don't know you, every little bit you do helps. And so it's just what it is. Some people are, I got an email the other day, or was it a text? I can't remember, man. And it was telling me the same, basically the same thing, like, yo, Reg, what are you going to do? I'm like, what do you mean, what am I doing? What are you going to do? Don't think I would not get on a plane and go down and sit and talk with any of these people. But what's so funny is that the people that I know and that have been in politics and has made it to Washington and back and forth, they're never going to come get me. They're never going to come get me. I steal the show. I'm a show stealer. You know what I'm saying? Because I don't mess around. I pattern myself after Trump, period. So you're gonna know who I am and where I stand and everything, but also likable. I'm likable. So, yeah, I'm going to change a lot of stuff. And I'm doing as much as I can here. And like I keep saying, thank you, Crawford, for broadcasting to the big guy. And, of course, Mike. And I got the dopest producer, yo. Like, Lukey Luke is just the man. And a lot of change, man. A lot of change is happening. A lot of stuff. And there's more stuff to come. Remember this announcement that's coming? It'll be coming probably Monday or Tuesday, but you'll hear about it before I get to tell you. But I already know about it. It was already planned for me to even break it out, but we can't do it until that time. So just remember I told you. I believe, Johnny, that we're on the best path for spiritual, for Christians, for peace, love, common sense, logic. But we got to throw them reparations in there, man. We got to do it. I don't care, y'all. I don't care. Get with me. We need to handle this. We could have took half of Ukraine's money and say, here you go. This is all we got. Put it in there, do it how you need to do. Don't count everything, just do it and it's done. Don't you, it feels such a relief to just put that behind and get it done and over with. But it needs to be done. So I'm gonna keep advocating on all of that stuff. Because I just like the same energy and I love people. And if you choose to do something with your life and your body, as long as it doesn't affect the unborn or the elderly, our vets, and if you're not trying to push devil worship, and them are my boundaries. Everything else, I mean, do you. Luke, if somebody want to jump in the ocean and swim with great white sharks, he's a fool. But if he wants to do it, that's his life. Let him go ahead.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. I think if you're an adult, you do whatever you want, man. It's none of my business.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I'm with you 100%. And man, this time sure be flying. Is it that time, Luke?
SPEAKER 05 :
It is. It is. It is that time, Reg.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, man. We're going to have to count it down. Here we go. Three, two, one, and we out. Yeah. All right, y'all. It's that time. We out of here. But you've been listening to KLC 560 AM. I'm a Unite to Reggie Rocko. Yeah. It's fun. We will tackle the issues. We will unite the country.
SPEAKER 1 :
Everyone.
SPEAKER 04 :
Every Friday morning from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. It's about love, y'all. Have a wonderful morning and a great day.
In this episode, explore the pressing topic of how recent Supreme Court cases could reshape the legal landscape by tackling nationwide injunctions. Gain insight into the serious threats against religious freedoms with a focus on Washington State's new mandatory reporting law. Uncover the realities of chemical abortions with commentary on recent commitments by the HHS Secretary to reevaluate the risks associated with Mifepristone. Together with experts, dissect these critical issues, providing a much-needed biblical perspective to navigate today's political and cultural challenges.
SPEAKER 19 :
from the heart of our nation's capital in Washington, D.C., bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and soundbites into conversations with our nation's leaders and newsmakers, all from a biblical worldview. Sitting in for Tony is today's host, Jody Heiss.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, good afternoon. Welcome to this Friday edition of Washington Watch. Hope you've had a fantastic week. Looking forward to a wonderful weekend. I'm Jody Heiss, a senior fellow here at the Family Research Council. An honor to have you joining us. We've got a lot to bring your way in the next hour. Here are some of the highlights. House GOP leaders were not able to nail down the votes that were needed to advance the so-called big, beautiful budget reconciliation bill. It did not come out of the Budget Committee earlier today. The measure was rejected by a vote of 16 to 21.
SPEAKER 26 :
Mr. Chair, on the vote, there were 16 ayes and 21 noes.
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, the no's have it. The committee stands in recess, subject to the call of the chair. I want to thank everybody for their time and patience, and Godspeed and safe travels.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, that was House Budget Committee Chair Jody Arrington after the votes were cast. So what's next? Well, I'll be discussing this here in just a moment when I'm joined by Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs. And he and I also will be discussing the since-deleted post by former FBI Director James Comey on social media that highlighted the numbers 86-47. Well, those numbers are widely known to stand for the killing of the 47th president of America, Donald Trump.
SPEAKER 02 :
For Comey to think that we, the American people, are so stupid as to think that he, as a former FBI director, former prosecutor, and someone who clearly pays attention to what's going on, would believe his lie that he didn't know what this actually was calling for? The dangerousness of this, Jesse, cannot be underestimated.
SPEAKER 08 :
Wow. That was U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard yesterday on Fox News. And Congressman Biggs and I will be discussing that as well. And yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a consolidated case that examines the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential actions.
SPEAKER 06 :
This is a bipartisan problem that has now spanned the last five presidential administrations. Universal injunctions exceed the judicial power granted in Article III, which exists only to address the injury to the complaining party. They transgress the traditional bounds of equitable authority, and they create a host of practical problems.
SPEAKER 08 :
That was U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer speaking before the Supreme Court. And Josh Hammer, who is a senior counsel for the Article III project, will join me a little bit later to unpack what came out during those oral arguments. And then later in the program, I'll be joined by members of the FRC team who are in Paraguay participating in the Summit for Peace and Reconciliation. That's an international gathering that has brought together all sorts of global leaders, including presidents, members of Congress, government ministers, pastors, ambassadors, and Christian leaders. And our team there will give us an update on what's happening. And then to close out the program, as we do week by week, I'll be joined by David Claussen. for our weekly biblical worldview segment to discuss some of the headlines from this week, including the pledge this week by HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy to conduct a review of the chemical abortion Mifepristone. We'll try to bring all the highlights of the news this week to you from a biblical worldview perspective. So as always, we've got a lot coming your way. If you happen to miss any part of it, by the way, you can always catch it by going to our website, TonyPerkins.com. All right. Let's jump into our first segment. It has been a hectic week for Republican leaders as they try to muster the support needed to pass President Trump's big, beautiful budget reconciliation bill. And yet there's all sorts of disagreements over certain parts of the provisions and the spending cuts of the. The whole process has just slowed down, especially as I mentioned just a while ago, the Budget Committee earlier voted down that bill from advancing. So where do we go from here? The attempt was to get it passed before Memorial Day. Who knows whether or not that will happen. We're here to discuss this and more is Congressman Andy Biggs. He's a member of several committees, including the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He represents the 5th Congressional District of Arizona. Congressman Biggs, welcome back to Washington Watch.
SPEAKER 04 :
Great to be with you, Jody. Thanks for having me. It's always good to see you.
SPEAKER 08 :
It was great to see you, my friend. Listen, Andy, before we even get going, you and I have been dear friends for many years now, and you have been certainly heavy in my thoughts and prayers in recent weeks. In fact, thousands from this program have been praying for you as well. In the loss of your daughter to cancer, I would be remiss to begin this interview without starting by asking how are you and the family holding up?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, first of all, thank you to everybody who sent prayers and cards and flowers and thoughts. And, you know, we've really felt that support. The family's doing pretty well, all things considered. I mean, obviously grief comes in waves. But, you know, the three little kids that she had, they're the ones that we need to focus on. And they're doing okay, but they have their moments as well. But by and large, this is in God's hands, and we have felt his support.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, we love you and we're praying for you. Please send our love to your family. I will. All right, Andy, if I can, let's talk about this so-called big, beautiful bill. What's the current state? It didn't come out of the budget committee. So where do we go from here?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, because it's Republicans that voted no as well, they can bring that back at any time and do a motion to reconsider and vote it without actually doing any more hearing on it. The five that voted against it for HFC1, non-HFC, they have committed to staying there and continue to work on it. So what I will tell you is this. I still believe that this is attainable by Memorial Day, and I believe that you're going to see a lot of action perhaps over the weekend. to try to resolve these differences. There are multiple factions. Don't forget you have the assault state and local tax group led by New Yorkers, Californians, some Illinois folks, Republicans who said they were going to vote no. So there's a lot to be done here. And I will just tell you that I think everybody's pretty happy with the tax package that's President Trump's tax package. So, I mean, you could even split it out and do that first with the border control and then do the other issues later. But these reforms, I mean, there's They're keeping some of the most pernicious forms of the Green New Deal stuff in there, including subsidies. Some of the reforms that they have, which are simply to do something that has been a bipartisan issue, which is work requirements. They don't even kick in those work requirements for five years, Jody. So, you know, I think a lot of people are trying to get to yes. And I think we eventually will get to yes. But obviously, it's not quite ready for prime time yet.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, and not only in the House. I mean, we've got Senate Republicans as well that appear, at least from my vantage point, on the outside, they appear to be wanting to transform the current House bill. So what are you expecting from your colleagues over in the Senate?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, just so you know, several of us meet with senators every week and I think that there's a group of senators that have told us that if some of these changes aren't made in the House, they're not going to support it. Others don't want any of those changes and don't even like the House bill. So the Senate's going to have their own special brand of problems, Jody, as you know well from watching it. But I still think it's possible to get this thing done before July 4th. I think we should have had it done before April 1st myself, but— We are where we are. People still trying to get there, though. And that's the good thing. And I would just say I have to say this because a lot of people say, well, why don't you guys just vote lockstep like the Democrats do? We don't do that because we're trying to rip our constituents. We're trying to get President Trump what he wants. We're trying to save the country. And we're trying to stop this massive growth of the structural deficit, because even with the cuts that the House bill makes, You're going to be well north of $60 trillion in national debt in 10 years, Jody. And so it's very important that you take care of this stuff.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely. I want to get to the issue with James Comey here. But before I do, I think some people are really confused on how a reconciliation bill really holds within it the ability to advance President Trump's agenda. Can you, in a real brief moment, just kind of give a bird's eye view as to how that works?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, because what you're doing is you're reconciling spending with reductions. So in other words, you have to find the pay-fors, right? And so that allows us to basically lock in and say, we're going to do this border security program, but we know it's going to cost $20 billion. So we're going to pay for that $20 billion by imposing sanctions. are taking away a Green New Deal subsidy that cost $20 billion. And now you've reconciled that. That's the way it works. And that's why it's a little bit more difficult than normal budgeting. But what it is, is it's absolutely finding if you're going to have a program, you got to pay for it.
SPEAKER 08 :
That's the way to move forward. All right, we just have a few minutes left. I want to get to this whole issue, disturbing news, frankly, with former FBI Director James Comey. I'm sure you've seen the image he posted on Instagram where he put up the 8647, which certainly has been interpreted, at least, as a call to potentially assassinate President Trump. What do you make of this situation? It's pretty unbelievable.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, it's an incredibly dangerous situation. First of all, let's contextually admit that President Trump receives more death threats than anybody else in the world, number one. Number two, there's actually been two physical attempts on his life that, through God's grace, he survived and lived. Number three, you have a guy who was the head of the federal police apparatus of the United States of America. a former prosecutor saying that he didn't know that 86-47 had a connotation of violence. I just don't believe that. There's no way I can accept that because 86-47 has actually been making the rounds as a call to assassinate President Trump. So for him to later put out a post after he takes that down saying, hey, I had no idea it had any connotation with violence. Either he was the most naive and ignorant of prosecutors and FBI directors we've ever seen, or else he was being untruthful and declaiming and explaining that, oh, I didn't know that that was a cult of violence. Very, very dangerous, Jody. Very dangerous to have him fueling some of these crazos out there that want to kill President Trump. And he fueled it.
SPEAKER 08 :
So you would take this as a threat really coming from Comey?
SPEAKER 04 :
I would, yeah. I mean, no less than the DNI director, Tulsi Gabbard, who you and I both served with, and we know her well. She said, look, he should be in jail because that is a call to violence, a call to assassinate the president.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, there's no way. I totally agree with you. I don't think there's any way the former FBI director could look at these two numbers and not recognize what they meant. And then for him to come back and say he had no idea. Well, if he had no idea what they meant, why did he post them in the first place? I mean, it's just random numbers. What would he think that it meant? But it's just unthinkable that he didn't know exactly. what he was posting, and for political reasons that he may have. Congressman Andy Biggs, always great to see you, my friend. Thank you, as always, for the incredible work you do, your leadership there in Washington and abroad, and for always coming on the Washington Watch program. We appreciate it greatly.
SPEAKER 04 :
God bless you and DeeDee and your family and all of the Washington Watch family.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thanks for having me. Thank you, Andy. Great to see you. God bless. All right, friends, coming up, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments yesterday regarding the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions that are issued by lower courts. Josh Hammer will join me right after the break as we unpack that. Stay tuned.
SPEAKER 20 :
In a time when Washington seems clouded by compromise, a bold group of lawmakers are standing firm in defense of the values which our nation was built upon. At FRC Actions 100% Awards, 171 members of Congress were honored for voting 100% in line with policies that promote faith, family, and freedom.
SPEAKER 13 :
Faith and family made our country, it's the foundation that made our country not only great, but good.
SPEAKER 17 :
The values that make America, faith, family, hard work, personal responsibility. I mean, that to me is the heart of FRC and grateful for everything that they do.
SPEAKER 21 :
It's very important for us to have organizations such as FRC. First of all, I think it keeps us grounded, in addition to which the issues that you champion are issues that we should all be championing.
SPEAKER 11 :
FRC is very, very good at honing in on those things that really affect Christians' lives. Also, working with members of Congress, too, to make sure that those values are instilled in the legislation that we create.
SPEAKER 05 :
Having the Family Research Council to guide us is critically important to being able to do the right thing consistently.
SPEAKER 20 :
These lawmakers have drawn the line, not just in policy, but in principle. This is more than politics. This is conviction in action. Visit frcaction.org for more information on how you too can make a difference.
SPEAKER 12 :
Jennifer, it's so exciting to be here with you today talking about our new book, Embracing God's Design. Who is actually going to benefit from reading this book in your view?
SPEAKER 22 :
There's so many different audiences that can benefit. The first one are counselors themselves, because we have some material in there where we really address the gender dysphoria diagnosis and what is wrong with it. We have information for people who are wanting to go back to embracing God's design for their life.
SPEAKER 12 :
This is really magical to have the therapist and the individual who suffered come together and write about why this is happening and why we're seeing this.
SPEAKER 22 :
And we brought all of that experience to the table. We want to see people walking in the fullness of who God has called them to be and not a false identity.

SPEAKER 08 :
Welcome back to Washington Watch. Great to have you on board with us today. I'm Jody Heiss. All right. Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the consolidated case Trump v. Casa. This is a case that examines the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential actions. And as you can imagine, the case is being very closely watched as it certainly has implications on constitutional issues. Goodness, things like birthright citizenship and judicial overreach and just a host of things. But what exactly was argued and how might this affect the political future of America? Well, joining me now to discuss this is Josh Hammer. He's the senior counsel for the Article III project, as well as the Internet Accountability Project. He's also an active member of the Texas State Bar, and he serves also as a senior editor-at-large for Newsweek, in addition to hosting a number of podcasts where he frequently touches on political, cultural, and legal issues. Josh, welcome back to Washington Watch. Great to have you.
SPEAKER 14 :
It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, this is a big case that the Supreme Court is reviewing right now. What are some of the prevailing arguments in this case?
SPEAKER 14 :
So I think the most interesting thing, Jody, about this particular case is that it is a birthright citizenship case that is not currently being litigated, at least before the justice, as a birthright citizenship case. So let's be very clear here. I mean, this does emerge out of the executive order that President Trump signed within the first – hours of his presidency interpreting Section 1 of the 14th Amendment so as to not require birthright citizenship as a constitutional requirement for the children of illegal aliens born here. I have argued for many years, including just over the past few months, that this is indeed a correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment and the citizenship clause. But Trump's lawyers, namely the Solicitor General of the United States, John Sauer, who's a fantastic attorney, former clerk for Justice Scalia, who's also a former S.G. of Missouri, very brilliant lawyer. I think what he basically decided here, Jody, is he was basically just counting the votes and he decided that there were not five solid votes for that view, even though it is the correct view. So he made a tactical decision to argue this on Thursday at the court. as about the scope of relief here. And this is a very legal way of saying here that what we're actually talking about is the legitimacy of the so-called nationwide injunctions that the lower court judges slapped on the Donald Trump executive order. So I'm not expecting a ruling from the courts to probably even touch the actual substantive 14th Amendment issue. I would be very surprised. They're probably going to stick just to the actual judicial power question as to whether or not these nationwide injunctions are proper, to which I personally have a very simple answer, which is no, they are wholly improper. They are wholly illegitimate there. The judicial power of the United States does not encompass the ability. of a rogue, random, one-off lower court judge to bring an entire federal government program to a halt. This is simply not the system, Jody, that our founding fathers devised. The judiciary, as we know from Federalist No. 78 with Alexander Hamilton, was always supposed to be the least dangerous branch. And as Abraham Lincoln put it in his first inaugural address of 1861, to make all the great political and legal questions and to put that in the hands of the judiciary as the sole, final, and binding arbiter of these questions would essentially mean that we, the people, have ceased to be our own rulers. So this is not the system that we signed up for. This is not the reason that the patriots of 1776 rebelled against King George III in the first place there. I am cautiously optimistic that the justice will do the right thing, but we shall see.
SPEAKER 08 :
OK, so when we're talking about a nationwide injunction, you covered a lot of ground there. But basically, we're talking about a lower court judge dealing with a specific case, making a decision and that decision having national enforcement, national implications rather than just on the case before the judge. Is that correct?
SPEAKER 14 :
That's exactly correct, yes. So the whole question here, among others, I suppose, but really the key question is what are the legitimate confines of the judicial power, which is the first line of Article 3 of the Constitution? And for what my money is worth, my reading, Jody, of the judicial power is that a court has the power to bind the parties before it, to bind the plaintiff and the defendant. You frankly don't need to be a legal scholar here. All you need is some good old fashioned common sense. I mean, if John sues Jane and they end up in court there and the court issues a judgment, it is John and Jane who are bound. You know, Tommy, who's back at home munching on potato chips, watching TV. He's not bound there. If Tommy ends up getting dragged into court for a similar lawsuit a month, a year from now, whatever, there that judge can view the previous suit as persuasive authority. But Tommy is not bound by that judgment.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, that's a great analogy and a word picture there. Tell me this. You are certainly of the opinion that the ability to issue these nationwide injunctions violates not only the Constitution and not only the role of the judiciary, but even self-governance itself. Run down that path, because I think that's an extremely important part of this whole thing that people need to understand. So unpack that for us, if you would.
SPEAKER 14 :
Sure. So we're dealing here with a system of judicial supremacy, with this notion that not just the judiciary, but in this particular case, that lower court judges, district court judges, even court of appeals judges. We're dealing here with a system where they are supreme because they have the power to nullify any congressionally enacted law, any president's executive order there. And this is simply not the judicial review that this country was founded on. So, Jody, a lot of people like to talk about the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison, which we will recall from our high school civics and whatnot there. So that was the case where Chief Justice John Marshall says that it is emphatically the province of the judiciary to declare what the law is. This is the founding of judicial review. But people forget what Marshall said in the sentence directly after that. What Marshall said in the sentence directly after that is that, well, you're going to have to then interpret and expound upon the law in particular cases. That's the key point, Jody, in particular cases there. Judicial review in our system has to do with specific cases, specific litigants. That's the John Jane example there. There's no notion. that the judiciary is the sole, final, exclusive, final binding arbiter of legal questions there. That is tyranny. That is judicial tyranny, is black robe tyranny. It might be a little less authoritarian than various other forms of tyranny that have existed, but it is ultimately just a similar stripe of tyranny, the very likes of which the founding fathers and those brave men back in 1776, the reason that they rebelled against the crown in the first place there. The judiciary has a role, but it is a very limited role. And ultimately, Jody, they have to know their place when it comes to Congress and the executive branch.
SPEAKER 08 :
Could not agree more. I want to thank you, Josh Hammer, senior counsel for the Article 3 project. Great job bringing this before us and making that, which is quite complicated, understandable. So thank you so much for joining us today on Washington Watch. We'll be keeping a pulse on this. Look forward to talking to you further.
SPEAKER 14 :
My pleasure. Thank you so much.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, friends, we've got a lot more coming your way. Up next, I'll be speaking with FRC's Ariel Del Turco, as well as Chris Gasing. They are participating in a summit for peace and reconciliation in Paraguay. Stay tuned to hear what God is doing in that region and in that summit. We'll be back.
SPEAKER 23 :
At Family Research Council, we believe religious freedom is a fundamental human right that all governments must protect. That's why FRC President Tony Perkins went to Capitol Hill to testify on behalf of persecuted Christians in Nigeria. Islamist terror groups target Christians and other religious minorities in Nigeria with brutal violence. Representative Chris Smith, who chaired the hearing, said 55,000 people have been killed and 21,000 abducted in the last five years alone. The congressman also stressed that 89% of Christians in the world who are martyred are from Nigeria.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yet the government of Nigeria has failed to make progress against religiously motivated persecution of Christians despite religious freedom being enshrined as an essential human right in their constitution.
SPEAKER 23 :
Tony Perkins called for the United States to send an unmistakable message.
SPEAKER 07 :
This is systematic religious violence. Nigeria must be redesignated a country of particular concern. The Biden administration's removal of this designation was a reckless mistake that emboldened the very terrorists who are slaughtering Christians.
SPEAKER 23 :
Redesignating Nigeria will enable the U.S. government to pressure Nigerian leaders to protect vulnerable Christians.
SPEAKER 07 :
These are not just numbers. These are fathers, their mothers, their children, their families.
SPEAKER 23 :
Bishop Wilfred Anagabe risked his life to speak out, sharing firsthand accounts of the danger faced in his church district in central Nigeria.
SPEAKER 01 :
We live in fear because at any point it can be our turn to be killed, but to remain silent is to die twice. So I have chosen to speak.
SPEAKER 23 :
FRC is calling on President Trump to act now to promote religious freedom around the globe and speak up on behalf of Christians in Nigeria.
SPEAKER 08 :
Welcome back to Washington Watch. I am your Friday host, Jody Heiss, and so honored to have you on with us today. All right, this week in Ascension, Paraguay, Christians gathered from around the world to attend the Summit for Peace and Reconciliation. Now, as I mentioned earlier in the program, this whole summit It was hosted by Parliament in Faith, but it consists of international leaders, global leaders, including some presidents, some members of parliament, government ministers, pastors, ambassadors, a variety of Christian leaders from around the world. In fact, our very own Ariel Del Turco and Chris Gasek were there to speak at the event. And joining me now to discuss some of the things that they heard and shared in Paraguay is Ariel Del Turco. Chris Gasek, by the way, he is a senior fellow for regulatory affairs here at FRC. Ariel is the director of the Center for Religious Liberties, and she now joins us from Paraguay. Ariel, great to see you. Thanks for taking time to be with us.
SPEAKER 24 :
So good to be with you, Jody.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, tell us a little bit more about the Summit for Peace and Reconciliation. What is the main focus of this event?
SPEAKER 24 :
Yeah, so this is put on by an organization called Parliament and Faith. And really their goal is to bring together people from around the world with a common goal. And this year, their theme for their annual conference is peace and reconciliation. So they have invited people from Rwanda that survived the genocide. They had a pastor from Ukraine and from Russia speak on stage together and pray together on stage. So we've had a lot of really profound moments where people affected by situations from around the world, tragic situations, are joining together, united for one cause, and really it's a virtual organization. So...
SPEAKER 08 :
Amazing. So why was it important, and I think it was, but for FRC to have a presence there and for you and Chris to be able to speak, why was that so important for FRC to be there?
SPEAKER 24 :
Yeah, so FRC is doing more and more international outreach. But actually one thing I thought that was so encouraging was that we are hearing feedback from FRC's impact across the years. We heard one speaker on the main stage talk about being invited to just attend the Values Voter Summit, which FRC used to put on every single year. Now it's called the PrayVote Stand Summit. But he was a state legislator from Indiana, and he attended one of our summits, was so deeply impacted that it shaped his worldview. And now he's on a trajectory where he's an international leader, and he's speaking to a high-profile event in Paraguay, sharing a testimony about FRC that we were totally surprised by. We had never even met him. but really it's showing the impact of FRC around the globe. So we are trying to continue that impact and part of that is going out and speaking to some of these communities of government and pastoral leaders from other countries. Now it's in Paraguay to an international audience, but I think it's so important and we're already seeing some of the benefits too.
SPEAKER 08 :
That's remarkable. And I think it's so important for our listeners and viewers to recognize what you just shared, that FRC is enormously expanding the global footprint of the work of FRC around the world. And what you just said is so encouraging to hear how that is having such an impact. Ariel, if you can, share with us a little bit about what you shared in your speech. What was the message that you took?
SPEAKER 24 :
Yeah, so I was on a panel on religious liberty and I was able to share about some of FRC's work on the issue, representing FRC, but also just the situation around the world that Christians find themselves in where religious freedom is being violated every single day. And here, I really gave a call for action for governments to step up and protect religious freedom. but also for these governments and individuals, pastors, political leaders, to encourage other countries to also respect religious freedom. We've been speaking to activists in Paraguay who are trying to work with their government to see Christian refugees from Afghanistan and Pakistan and to resettle them here in Paraguay. And she's fighting an uphill battle, trying to convince her government that this is a good idea, but really we wanted to foster that type of thing. We want to foster other countries promoting religious freedom and protecting it in their own borders. So that's a little bit of what I shared. Travis Weber, our Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs at FRC, will also be speaking from the main stage tomorrow, sharing about how FRC works and really giving some of these activists from other countries a blueprint of how FRC does things and how they might be able to do things if they wanted to start a pro-family, pro-life organization in their country.
SPEAKER 08 :
Amazing. Ariel, we've got less than a minute. How would you encourage American Christians here? What can we do to continue having an impact through FRC in particular around the world? How can we be praying based upon what you're seeing there?
SPEAKER 24 :
Yeah, we're living in very important times, really, that are earth-changing, right? We have a new administration with President Trump who's really making waves around the world, and we feel the impact even here. As American Christians, we need to be focused on influencing the Trump administration, praying for the Trump administration to make sure that their impact to these countries, these poorer, more vulnerable countries like Paraguay, that the impact of the US government is good, is moral, stands for family values and stands for life. One more thing I wanted to share was that the speaker to the house in Paraguay, he spoke on the opening ceremony and he shared really passionately about his Christian faith and even- Ariel, we've got to hold it right there.
SPEAKER 08 :
We're running out. Stay tuned, friends. Thank you, Ariel. Send our love to the rest. We'll be back in just a second.
SPEAKER 13 :

SPEAKER 08 :
Thank you so much for joining us today on Washington Watch. I'm your Friday host, Jody Heiss, and glad to have you with us. All right, before we jump into our final segment here, I want to just put out here a call for your help. As we have discussed on the program today, we all know that Congress is involved in trying to hammer out the bills to fund the federal government and all that sort of stuff. Well, right in the middle of all of that, Is the ability, the potential to defund abortion providers, to defund taxpayer gender transition surgeries and all this type of stuff. There's a potential to accomplish a lot in these type of reconciliation bills. And your voice is. can help. I can tell you, Congress listens when they hear from people. And so we're encouraging you simply to text the word Congress to 67742. That's Congress to 67742. And we'll send a message as to how you can reach out to your congressional delegation and make your voice known. So please do that for us. All right. We, as we enter into this last segment of the week, as we always love to do, we like to try to pack together a package of all the headlines, the biggest headlines of the week, and try to look at them from a biblical worldview perspective. And I always appreciate so much David Clawson. for joining me to help do this week after week. David, of course, is the director of FRC's Center for Biblical Worldview. He's also the author of the recently released book, Life After Roe, equipping Christians in the fight for life today. David, as always, thank you so much for joining us on Friday and for helping us have a biblical perspective on what's happening in the news.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, joy to be with you again, Jody.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, listen, last week, I know we didn't. It seemed like we just time just ran away from us. But we were talking, among other things, about the new pope and the congressional efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, as I was just talking about. And I also. had intended last week to go a little bit further about a new law in Washington state, but we ran out of time. However, this week it continues to still be in the news, this mandatory reporting law that also applies to clergy. It's pretty disturbing. So can we start with that religious liberty issue? I know your Ph.D. dissertation is even about civil disobedience. Kind of remind our viewers, if you can, David, about this new law and why it is potentially an enormous overreach of state authority.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, Jody, you just stated an enormous overreach of civil authority right here. This is Senate Bill 5357 that just two weeks ago, the governor, the new governor there in Washington state signed into law. But as you said, this is legislation that It expands the list of professionals required to report child abuse. And what's interesting about this is as far as clergy, it eliminated the confessional privilege. This is often known as the clergy penitent privilege and specifically goes out of its way to say that members of the clergy, so think pastors and priests, are prohibited from from invoking certain legal privileges, specifically religious confessions, as a defense against mandatory reporting. Now, in Washington, the Catholic Church has a large presence, and many in Washington, priests are already mandatory reporters. The Catholic Church has done a lot over the last several decades to combat child abuse. This is an issue they take very seriously. But what's specifically interesting about this, Jody, and why this is kind of risen and why we're talking about it all over the nation right now, is that this specifically goes after a specific sacrament of the Roman Catholic Church. Now, I am an evangelical Protestant. I don't subscribe to the confessional as being a sacrament. But in Catholic theology, one of the means of grace is the sacrament of the confession. Pope Francis in 2019 put out a lengthy statement that the Vatican released talking about the language he uses, the inviolable secrecy of the confession comes, and this is the quote from him, comes directly from the revealed divine right and is rooted in the very nature of the sacrament. So this is a huge deal. And yet... What this law is doing is it would basically force priests to disobey church teaching, disobey, step outside of church authority, and do something that canon law forbids. And so, again, this is super significant that I think people of all faiths should be concerned about.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I think just underscore that people of all faith should be concerned about this. Obviously, the Catholics are in a unique situation there because, as you just mentioned, it's in their church belief system as a sacrament. In fact, the Archdiocese of Seattle has invoked Acts 5 where it says we must obey God rather than man. And so, I mean, they are in a unique situation. But this goes beyond Catholics, as you just referred to. This is a religious liberty issue. And yes, all of us, what concerns me, David, all of us want to deal with child abuse. I mean, and we're going to report that. On the other hand, confession is... is a spiritual issue that is not the environment to use as a tattling type instrument. What happens to the religious liberty and the faith, the confidence? of confessing sins if people feel as though they're going to be tattled on. That's one problem. The other is we don't have a definition of what child abuse is in this thing. Child abuse could be not using the right pronoun as far as people in Washington state are concerned. So there just seems to be all sorts of mess in here. Can you just kind of clear the way for us on here and have a biblical perspective.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, and Jody, what you just said is so important. It's the sacrament of confession for the Catholic Church this week. It could very well be the tax-exempt status of First Baptist next week. Again, because this is a serious encroachment on religious freedom. I actually have the letter, I just printed it, that the Archbishop of Seattle put out in response. And I think this is just a marvelous example of how a A faith leader can speak publicly about this, speak to the powers that be. He specifically quotes the verse you just referenced, Acts 529. He writes this. He says, after the apostles were arrested and thrown into jail for preaching the name of Jesus Christ, St. Peter responds to the Sanhedrin, we must obey God rather than man. This is our stance now in the face of this new law. He goes on, and I think this is really helpful for, again, people of all faiths. He says, once the state asserts the right to dictate religious practices and coerce information obtained within this sacrament, privileged communication, where is the law blind drawn between church and state? What else may the state now demand the right to know? Which other religious practices will it try to legislate? Why is this privileged communication between priest and penitent the only one singled out? And I think he hits the nail right on the head right there, where he's asking, where is the line between church and state? And what I would argue, and I do argue this in my dissertation, kind of going after what Abraham Kuyper described as sphere sovereignty, The church does occupy its own distinct sphere that has a delegated authority from God. The state has a really important authority, too, as does the family. But where the state begins to dictate faith and practice, specific beliefs and practices of a religious tradition, we have a massive problem and crisis. Frankly, I would say we have a constitutional problem as well. And I think the Justice Department opening an investigation to this law was an encouraging thing to see in the last couple of days.
SPEAKER 08 :
Wow. So are you hearing anything from pastors on the ground in Washington state? Do we have ears open?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, absolutely. So several pastors, again, specifically it's been Catholic priests who've been raising the alarm simply because their sacrament of confession is such an integral part. Again, I'm not a Catholic, but this idea that one of their sacraments, which is the way they actually receives God's grace, the priest standing in for Christ. I can't think of anything more important than that. They are raising the alarm. But yes, pastors from evangelical and Protestant denominations are, again, they're saying the same thing that what I just said. You know, if it might be the sacrament of confession this week, but could it be the tax-exempt status of First Baptist if the government is allowed to overreach like this without being checked by the public opinion and religious leaders pushing back on it?
SPEAKER 08 :
Wow. Very important case where I'm sure we'll be keeping a pulse on this as it goes down. But thank you for coming back and filling in some gaps from last week on that issue. If I can't switch gears with you, David, as we all know, we've talked about this a lot of times as well. Chemical abortion is yet again in the news, has been this week. And it's a topic that you deal with extensively in your new book, Life After Roe. I want to play a clip for you from a hearing that took place Wednesday where Senator Josh Hawley asked HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy about Mifepristone, which of course is the first of two pills in the chemical abortion regimen. Play this clip.
SPEAKER 09 :
It's alarming and clearly it indicates that at very least the label should be changed. I've asked Marty McCary, who's the director of FDA, to do a complete review and to report back.
SPEAKER 18 :
Good. Do you have any sense of timeline? I do not. It will be a top priority, though, for you. Is that safe to say? Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
Wow. All right, David, what do you make of Secretary Kennedy's pledge to conduct a review of Mifepristone?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, incredibly encouraged. And obviously, Senator Hawley has shown a light on this issue. Going back to the EPPC report that came out just a matter of weeks ago that showed, you know, it's about 10.93% of women who take Mifepristone have adverse health effects or reactions to You know, the whole history behind the approval of chemical abortion, which, by the way, we've talked about this, Jody, account for upwards of 60 percent of abortions that are taking place. You know, when these pills were initially approved back in 2000 under the Clinton administration, outgoing Clinton administration, there were a lot of safeguards that actually were put in place. The pills were limited to within the first 49 days of gestation. It required three in-person visits. Only certified physicians could actually prescribe and administer the drug. But as we've talked about, the Obama administration and then the Biden administration essentially scrapped all of those safeguards. When it comes to chemical abortion, it really is The wild, wild west. You even now have liberal states with these shield laws that allow abortionists in liberal states like Illinois or New York to mail these poisonous pills across state lines. And so this is a huge issue. It's a huge mess. For those of us who are convictionally pro-life, this is an existential threat to our movement. And so praise God. that the Secretary of Health and Human Services has promised to review it. And we need to be praying. Again, this is the biblical worldview segment. I would be encouraging all of our listeners and viewers to be praying that the FDA and Bobby Kennedy take this very seriously and realize just how dangerous these pills are and take a serious look about revoking that authorization that was given all the way back in September of 2000.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, because as you just referenced, what this in essence would do if it's not addressed is erase all the pro-life bills in pro-life states that there are. And just they are absolutely meaningless if individuals in those states can continue the rapid pace of abortion that we're seeing with the chemicals that are underway. So this is huge. I couldn't agree with you more how encouraging it is to hear Mr. Secretary on that. Let me ask you one more issue here before we wrap things up. President Trump's approval ratings on the transgender issue, of course, Tony's been talking about that earlier in the week pretty extensively. But I'd like to ask you about the worldview dimension of all of this. What does... The rise in President Trump's approval ratings on this issue, the transgender issue, his approval ratings really are outpacing his own overall approval ratings. What does all this tell us about the possible shift, if you will, in the worldview of Americans as a whole?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, Jody, the numbers are actually quite remarkable. No surprise, only 9% of Democrats approve of President Trump, and yet 19% of Democrats approve of the president's handling on this issue. Independents, 48% approve overall of President Trump, or excuse me, 27% approve, but 48% approve how he's handled this issue. And Republicans, no surprise, over 83% overall approve of the president's job. But when it comes to transgender issues, it's 90%. So it is really interesting. And the president's taken decisive action. Think about prohibiting those with gender dysphoria from serving in the military. His executive order on the mutilation of, surgical mutilation of children, making sure that federal taxpayer dollars don't fund these medical interventions for gender dysphoric youth, his executive order prohibiting men from competing against girls and women in sports. He really has led on this issue in a powerful way. And one of the things we've talked about really since last year, I think there kind of has been a cultural vibe shift, so to speak. And I do think this is related to the transgender movement overreaching. I think, you know, the normalization of homosexuality and same-sex marriage. There was a lot of ideologues who thought transgenderism would just be normalized in the same way, kind of at breakneck speed. But I think a lot of Americans, Jody, realize that with transgenderism, you really are inverting the creation order. It doesn't take... Even, you know, biblical revelation to understand that a boy can't become a girl or a girl can't become a boy. And even people in deep liberal states don't want their little girls having to compete against boys. And so I think what we've seen is by pushing so strongly against the created order, the transgender movement has lost a lot of support that it had even just a couple of years ago. And so I do think the creation order is winning out here and President Trump is reaping the benefits of leading on this issue. Let's pray that he continues to do so.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, absolutely. I think that's a great way to end the program and end the week, a call to prayer over these issues. And I think, too, David, this opens wide the door, an enormous opportunity for pastors to engage with biblical truth on this issue in a way that their people will listen and respond. There is a shift taking place. The church and spiritual leaders need to engage it. David Claussen, director of FRC's Center for Biblical Worldview. As always, thank you so much for sharing a biblical worldview on the news for us. Friends, that wraps up this week. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. We'll be back next week right here on Washington Watch.

READY RADIO: Prepared or Just Stockpiled? The Truth About Gear, Skills, and Staying Alive. 5-16-25 by John Rush
SPEAKER 07 :
This is Ready Radio, preparing you to be ready for anything. Now, here's your survival guide for Ready Radio, John Rush.
SPEAKER 10 :
And welcome, everybody. Ready Radio, KLZ 560. Appreciate y'all joining us today. Live program today on May the 16th. The year is just rolling by. Bill Anderson joining me today as well. Bill, welcome. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you doing? Doing very well. Good to have you back. Hope you had a good time off, and appreciate all you do for us.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, great to be back.
SPEAKER 10 :
Always. All right. And for those of you listening, maybe for the first time, this is a program that we do weekly, every Friday from 2 to 3. We try to get you prepared, and I always say, for the what-ifs of life. And, Bill, it could be that end-of-the-world type scenario, or it could be, You know, changing a flat tire on the side of the road and what you ought to be prepared for there to taking road trips to traveling, which we'll get into today to storms and all sorts of things. So being prepared, as we know, Bill, involves all sorts of things, not just that end of the world scenario. Correct.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it's just for everyday life. I mean, the little side company we have is Prepped to Protect, and what that really means is that I am prepped to protect against what if. What if I get sick? What if I lose my job? What if a natural disaster happens? What if a local disaster happens? You fill in the blank.
SPEAKER 10 :
Exactly. So for those of you listening, some of you would think, well, yeah, you guys are talking about things that may or may not happen. And, you know, not sure I really want to worry about too many of those things. And, you know, some I think Bill really look at things that way. And, you know, to each his own. You know, I fully get that, you know, there's different levels of all of this. And yet, on the other hand, there are some people that are 100 percent gung ho. You know, they're looking out for everything for one of those, you know, end of the world scenarios, Bill. They're stocking guns and ammo and food and water and shelter and all this stuff. And I'll throw this out there as well, because I've known some of these people. On the same token, Bill, struggled to get that tire changed on the side of the road and may not even know what to do in that particular scenario. And I'm not exaggerating.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, we've got to focus on not just necessarily having the tools and the equipment and all the fancy gadgets. We talk quite a bit about your greatest asset is skill and knowledge. The more skill and knowledge you have, actually, the less tools that you'll need. Very good point. And you also got to practice this stuff, right? We talk about this all the time. What good is learning how to do something in a crisis, learning how to change that tire, in the snowstorm, on the side of the road, you know, now's not the time to learn that stuff. So it's just, you know, being prepared for these things. And, you know, I heard a senator, a retired senator, talking the other day, and he made a really good point, John. He said, you know, the most patriotic thing that you can do is be prepared. Because the more I'm prepared, the less of a burden I am on my community and on my country. And in fact, once I can take care of myself and now I'm not longer a burden, but maybe now I'm an asset. Now I can help contribute and take care of maybe some who aren't as prepared. So that was an interesting thing. We talk about patriotism a lot on this station and on this show particularly, but One of the most patriotic things I can do is to be less of a burden on the country, you know, and on my fellow American citizens.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and I think some people, Bill, would look at that and say, well, yeah, in times of need, absolutely. Well, no, Bill, like in all times, not just in times of need, but in general on a daily basis, we should be looking at it that way, correct?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, yeah, and it's, you know, it's not the... not the extreme of self-sufficiency because that, that term gets thrown around there. And it, you know, it's like you guys were talking on the radio yesterday about the, the lab meat and the, you know, I kind of chimed in texting you about GMO stuff. And it's like, you know, there's some things guys, there's a lot of things that are not in your control. Right. And so whether you think you're going to, you know, protect against it all, you're fooling yourself. But to say that I'm 100% self-sufficient is, is also a fallacy. It's not true because it's, I can't produce my own gasoline. I'm not a refinery. That's just one example. So we need each other and you need a strong community and you need to get that knowledge and connect with people who can also help. Maybe somebody's doing something you're not and you're able to work together and barter a little bit in building that community. And I think that's what this show is really all about. Not only you know, getting knowledge out there and getting people to think. And whether you do take action on the stuff we talk about or not, that's whatever. But at least it's starting to get you to think. Correct. Correct. Yeah, that's right, planting the seeds.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, no, I totally agree with you, Bill. You know, planting the seeds where, you know, you may want to do that today. Some others may, you know, you may wait, and then down the road something happens and you remember something we've talked about on air or they bought some of the resources, you know, Bill, that we have – talked about things even that you you have available i mean it's it's all of that combined and i think for me personally the one thing that i want to make sure we never do on this program is you know quote unquote even though you're a preacher you know quote unquote preach to others about what they should or shouldn't do to me i look at this as to each his own you do what you feel you need to do in your life we're recommending a lot of different things to help you be prepared but ultimately bill You know, they have to be the ones to move forward and decide at what level are they going to be prepared at. And again, that's that's different for for everyone. And I think it's one of the things you and I've talked about as well. I do think and this is one thing where I think you need to be a little bit careful, but some have more ability than others. Some some people have. You know, a general mechanical ability where they've got the ability to pretty much walk out and fix anything or figure it out and make it run and go and so on. And sometimes, Bill, even with lacking all of the necessary tools to do so because they've done it enough, it's pretty easy for them. It's second nature. And away they go while the next person may struggle to, frankly, even just get oil topped off or even get the gas filled up properly. It's one extreme to the other. Although the one thing I think that you have to be careful of when you're that person that can really do everything is you still have to be prepared as well and have certain things that you have done on the front side. Yeah, you're handy. Yeah, you have the ability to backfill and, you know, in some cases, Bill, in a moment's notice. But you can't rely on just that alone.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, you absolutely can't. You have to, you know, you have to be ready. I mean, it's, and people get a little, you know, it's one extreme or the other when we talk about preparedness and self-sufficient in this very topic, because it seems like there's two extremes, John, either the guy that's all in and, you know, really got too much stuff and really no practical skill. I mean, I think I've mentioned, I don't know if I mentioned to you or if you were away that particular show, but at I actually met a guy a couple of weeks ago, and he kind of showed me his room, and he had all this stuff in there, and I was just like, great, have you ever used any of it? And there's some volatility to the fact, well, I may have not used it, but maybe there's somebody in my clan that can. Or maybe we run across somebody that, hey, all of a sudden, let's just say a disaster happens, and now all of a sudden, you know, by happenstance, a doctor show up my door. Well, he'll know how to use it. So there's some legitimacy to that. But at the end of the day, I've been really, lately when we were on our trip and stuff, I was kind of revisiting the 80-20 principle. Are you familiar with that? Yes. Yeah. And, you know, I'm really looking at that going, there's so much wisdom in that. And you can apply that even into your preps, right? It's like, you know, hey, let's just narrow down maybe what your skill set is. Don't try to be everything, but be really good at what you are in. Because I tell this to people all the time, like when we go do an electrical job, they're like, man, you make that look so easy. And instead of busting their chops and going, yeah, I'm so good, I say, well, what do you do? And they say, oh, I'm a financial advisor. And I say, man, there's no way I could do that. So we need each other. I kind of spin it that way, right? Because
SPEAKER 10 :
And that's what makes the world go round, you know, but... Well, even the Bible talks about, you know, different parts of the body doing different things. That's why I'm one, Bill, not to get off track here, but I talk about this on The Daily Show a lot. It's why I don't like this whole equity thing that we've got going on across the country. Thank you. Therefore, you know, when you go apply for jobs and do different things and all of you out there listening, every one of you have different skill sets and some skill sets, Bill, as you know, bring a higher dollar amount associated with it than what others do. Not saying that one that's lower paid versus another, there's problems with that. The reality is, though, there is a difference when it's all said and done and we are not all equal.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, absolutely. It's amazing we're having this conversation right now, because it's so interesting to me how intertwined my conversations go. And I just taught on this at Church Wednesday, and a lot of these topics are pretty much what I said during my church service when we were talking about Revelation, actually. Amazing. It's, you know, and that's one of the modern, where I was at was, you know, the modern ideologies that we're struggling with today. And one of them is just that, that, hey, everybody's the same, everybody's equal. You know, we know that as another term called socialism. Right. But it's like, no, you know, if I spent... 10 years in school to be a doctor, well, you know what? I should be compensated for that in what I charge. Now, there's all kinds of arguments, and you can go whatever you want against that statement. how the insurance company, but that's just beside the point. Let's just look at the principle, right? You know, if I flip hamburgers, right, I mean, no offense, but anybody can learn that skill relatively easily versus doing brain surgery, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Or even suturing up, you know, a cut, Bill. I mean, again, there's two totally different skill sets there.
SPEAKER 03 :
Totally different skill sets. You know, and kind of going back to the Bible, and I know that's not what it's about, but, you know, there's a verse in there that says, raise up a child in which they You know, our bent is the actual, you know, original translation. In other words, that's right. And what I like to tell people, I says, you know, that's like a paperclip, right? What do we do when we get a paperclip? Almost every single one of us, we unbend it and re-bend it to do something else. True. To pickle our ear or scratch our ear or to pick our teeth or whatever. It's like... Whatever, right? And it's like, no, nothing clips together paper like a paperclip. And that's what it was made to do. And so when we're raising up our child or when we're looking at our skill set, you were created, divinely created and gifted with certain things. And when, when you do those things, they come naturally to you. It's not awkward. It's not difficult.
SPEAKER 10 :
That's right.
SPEAKER 03 :
And it's like, that's, that's your gifting. Right. And so, you know, we should, we should capitalize on that and we should be really good at those things instead of trying to be really good at something we're not and allow other people to, to be good at what they're good at. And, you know, good point.
SPEAKER 10 :
So no, we have a call coming in, Jennifer, you've got some comments. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, John, uh, back in the 70s when i was in college i had a psychology professor once tell the entire class about a guy he went to school with who on the day this guy graduated from university with his phd in psychology he's driving back from the graduation and he gets a flat tire he gets out of the car and he goes and he looks at it and he realizes he has no idea whatsoever what to do about the situation.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. By the way, Jennifer, you know what I've done in pretty much most of my career. Not shocked at that. That's not the first story like that I've heard.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, but it's like the guy was... standing there and saying, I've got a PhD, and I don't know this basic thing.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, there's a lot of that. Especially today, Jennifer, given that we have eliminated shop class and a lot of those things out of the school system from the time I was actually... A young man that stuff started to leave schools in the early to mid 80s. And I'm not exaggerating on that. And for some of you that had shop class, it maybe was later than that. Count your blessings, because a lot of schools started to drop shop class at about that time, Jennifer. So you think about how many generations we've gone now without that. Well, this is why we have some of the things going on we have.
SPEAKER 12 :
Just write a note to somebody in cursive and see what they do with it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, no comment. No comment. Great comments from you, Jennifer. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Bill, she's right. And again, and I'm not – you know me. I'm a big one on the trades like you. I feel like we've really missed the boat on that. We've got a lack of individuals in that your world, mine as well because we just haven't encouraged kids to go down that path. We've taken shop class completely. You know, home ec, shop class, all of that. We've taken all of that out of the school system. And in turn, Bill, we've gone to this whole, you know, woke equity nonsense. You know, you can switch genders. And again, I'm not getting off target because that's my daily show. But reality, Bill, is we've gotten off track completely. And we wonder why somebody with a Ph.D., as Jennifer said a moment ago, can't change a tire. Well, there's reasons for that. And by the way, I think this is a side note, Bill, but I think some of that is planned.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, that's exactly right. I was waiting for you to open the door for me there because I think a lot of that's by design, John. Because if the government can dumb down the people, then they need the government more, right? That's right. You take power away from the people and you start to do that by taking away skill and knowledge, right? That's the first step in that. And then you start to take care of them when they get fat and lazy.
SPEAKER 10 :
Really quick, with you being a pastor, I did want to insert this because I do think – and again, I get it. This is not a spiritual show and all of that, but it's my hour. I can do whatever I want to as far as that goes, so I will. I do feel like, Bill, that all of that – yes, to your point, all by design – And I also feel like it's by design, because if government becomes all-powerful and all-knowing and all-resourceful, and this goes back to your other job being a pastor, what's the need for God when that exists, Bill?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah, absolutely. You don't need any of them. And, you know, we've got to be careful with that statement, too, John, because a lot of church people have a problem with preparedness and stuff, too, because they say, hey, God's going to take care of me. I don't need to do anything. And it's like, gosh, the Bible doesn't say that either. There's really a lack of really knowing what the Bible says.
SPEAKER 10 :
That's like the guy that continues to pray for a job but never puts an application in, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, you know, the Bible says you don't work, you don't eat. Right. You know, it's plain as day. It says that if you don't provide for your own family, you're worse than an infidel, an unbeliever. So, you know, I mean, come on. You know, nobody in the Bible... You have to have common sense along these lines, Bill. Yeah. God works, and He does miracles, and I'm not going to ever say that He doesn't. Absolutely. But, you know, we also got to... You know, we can't just sit back and do nothing.
SPEAKER 10 :
And again, this goes to the whole preparedness thing. He did give us a brain. He gave us critical thinking skills if we use them. We have two arms, two hands. I mean, the majority of people do. Two eyes, two ears. I mean, we've got these abilities that God gave us. He's gifted us with those things, Bill. We have free will. We've got the ability to now act upon those things. I think sitting back and just waiting for something else to happen means you're lazy. I'm sorry to say that, but that's exactly how I look at it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and then there's no accountability on you when it doesn't work out. Now you can pass the buck. That's really what it boils down to, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Which, again, not trying to put a sermon out there, but that goes back to our original nature, and on and on we go. I mean, again, that is just the way things are. But to your point, and I agree with you, and I think it happens whether you be in the church, conservative movement, whatever the case may be, this attitude of, well, you know what, it's all just going to pan out, and I'll just— I'll be along for the ride, God's going to watch out for me. Well, and He will, Bill. I'm not saying that He won't, but will He watch out better for somebody that has gone through all of the efforts to be more prepared? Not saying that you need to be totally self-sufficient, because yes, you still need Him, but at the end of the day, is He going to help somebody else out that has helped themselves more than that person that never did anything?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I put it a different way. I put it in this perspective that When we look at that word faith, it's being fully convinced. The Greek word is pastist. It means to be fully persuaded. Like, the example I always use is, you know, I'm pretty convinced that tomorrow morning the sun's going to come up. I don't even really think about it, right? It doesn't even cross my mind. There's no doubt. But there's a thing called an active faith, right? In fact... my true actions, John, will reveal what I really believe, right? If I didn't believe the sun was going to come up tomorrow, then you better believe I'm going to be like, okay, we better have some lights out, we better have some flashlights ready, we better be ready for this. But see, I'm fully convinced that the sun's going to come up, so therefore I don't worry about it, right? And And if I'm fully convinced that a rainstorm's going to happen, then I'm going to grab a raincoat. I'm going to grab an umbrella. You know, I'm not going to go, well, I guess we'll see what happens, because then I'm not fully convinced, right? And it's an active faith. And God uses doctors. God uses other people. He does all these things. He does miracles, too. He parts seas and does this great stuff, you know, but... There's even the parting of the sea. Moses and the children of Israel had to leave Egypt to get to the sea. Thank you.
SPEAKER 10 :
And they had to make the trek across to get there in the first place, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So nowhere in the Bible does it say, hey, believe and just sit back and hang out and watch the show. Good point. When Jonah tried that, you know, it didn't work out so well.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, and again, circling back around to just, you know, being prepared on all levels. And, folks, I think, you know, Bill, it's something you and I really have never— really touched on. And I do think this is where pen and paper, there's something about pen, paper, that thought process, writing things down. So yes, computers are great, spreadsheets, all of that. You know me, I'm a very technical guy and I'm not against any of that. But sometimes in the thought process, something about having pen and paper really matters. And where I'm going with this is I think for all of you listening, Wouldn't be a bad idea to, on one side of the equation, you know, what are the needs? If something were to happen, what are the needs? Everything from, you know, I get caught in a snowstorm, I'm driving, I have a flat tire, I need to change a windshield wiper, on down the line we go. But you put all these different needs, and yes, there's a bunch, and this will be an ongoing list. You're not going to get all this done in one sitting. In fact, the more you think about it, the more you're going to ride out. And then, Bill, I think what folks should do is on the other side, you know, draw a line down the middle on the other side, What kind of skill sets or what do you have available to you on hand that will counter all of those needs that are on the other side of the paper? And this is ongoing, Bill. You're never going to cross out every single thing on that list because hopefully it's ongoing and you're continuing to build and build and build. Am I am I thinking correctly that way?
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you absolutely are. And that list, by the way, John, will never be complete because you can't anticipate what possibly could happen. That's right. Who anticipated COVID happening? That's right. Good point. I mean, maybe there were some people, but no, it kind of came out from nowhere. You know, 10 years ago, you'd have been like, oh, yeah, there's going to be this disease that's going to shut the world down for a little while. Nobody would have anticipated that.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, they would have called you Loon if you would have said that, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, or even the power outage recently that they just had. Spain. Spain, yeah, it escaped me there for a second. But it's like nobody really anticipated it. That's a whole topic in itself, by the way. It is, it is. But, you know, yeah, you start brainstorming that. And to your point, something happens neurologically, right? when you write something down versus typing it in your computer. So there's a different brain connection. That's right. And different learning and memory processes happen when you physically write it down versus typing it out. Or, you know, I'm a big fan of, as you know, when I'm texting you all the time, I'm doing talk to text because, you know, maybe my hands are occupied. Right, right, right. And it's like I look back at it and go, what the heck was that? I didn't say that. I just thought, man, maybe I do stuff like that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, you bring up a great point. And again, all of you listening, just trying to get you to think outside the box, think a little bit differently than what you would normally think. Even some of you that are into that whole preparedness thing and you listen to the show to see if there's any other ideas we throw at you. All of you that – everyone out there listening, Bill, is on a different level. And my point is, as we've said – This particular list is ongoing. And the other thing that if you've got kids, by the way, kids, wife, any other family member that you're going to be close by that you may have to involve with all of this. The other thing that's fun, it's a fun exercise, is get your kids especially involved in this. Okay, if this were to happen, how are we as a family going to counter that? And you could go through all sorts of different scenarios, even starting with something as simple as, hey, there's a flat tire. Let's say dad's not with you guys. What's the next step you guys are going to do? And kids, I want you to be involved in this as well. Because by the way, mom, you're driving to the next exit. I don't care if you ruin the wheel. You're not changing that tire in the middle of the side of the highway where people are driving by 80 miles an hour. I don't care. You have permission. I don't care if you ruin the wheel. You're driving to the next exit.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that's a great exercise, John, because in theory, a lot of things sound good. And then you go out to do something, and you're like, oh, I didn't think of that. That wasn't such a good idea. Me and my wife have that discussion all the time. And she'll say, well, we'll just do this. And I'll be like, oh, well, what if? Oh, I didn't think about that. And that's where it's amazing, to be honest with you. I listen to some of these. these authors that write these books about, you know, doomsday things. And I'm like, man, they're on a different level. Me too. They're coming up with some crazy stuff. Me too.
SPEAKER 10 :
That's why I listen to some of those A's to kind of learn, because I think it expands my thought process at times. Like, oh, I didn't think about that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Didn't think of that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Like, oh, yeah. Yeah, what if you're not even able to get back to your home? There was one book I read, Bill, where the guy was an IT expert, and he ended up 2,000 miles away from home when the EMP actually hit, meaning he met a few people along the way, and that's kind of what the story is about. But he had whatever was in his backpack, which I know you and I will take a break. We'll come back and talk about some of that because it dovetails into what you and I want to talk about. He literally was in his backpack. That's what this whole story was about, him then going all the way back 2,000 miles trying to get home.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. I was listening to one when I was on my trip and the guy was like, yeah, we can't start a fire because the smoke and the smell, the fire drew people and they attacked their camp. And they're like, no. Oh, I didn't think about that because everybody's walking around. Oh, I got a thorough rod. I'm good. And it's like, yeah, you may not want to start a fire.
SPEAKER 10 :
You may not need that. Good point. Good point.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Guys, hang tight. We'll come back. Bill, I do want to talk about if we're gone, you're out, you're traveling, whatever, what are some of the things you ought to have with you? We've done that a little bit in the past, but it's time to refresh that, especially as we head into the vacation season, especially. Ready Radio, folks, the website ready-radio.com. This is KLZ 560.

All right, we are back. Ready Radio, KLZ 560. Bill Anderson with me. Bill, real quick, so folks can find you, what's your website where they can find you at, sir?
SPEAKER 03 :
Our website is prep2protectco.com. Prep2protectco.com. And we're kicking off our summer gun classes. And they are filling up quickly. We only can offer a few because, you know, obviously of my limited schedule. So if you're wanting to get in on those, great. I've had actually the chief of police of Lakewood actually was participating in some of our stuff. We've also had... Elbert County Sheriff's deputies say that after taking the class, I have an FBI actual agent that is still an active agent take my class. He said, this is, this is training like I've never received in any of all of my training. So it's definitely something you're not going to get anywhere in Colorado because we really focus on self-defense. We really focus on the concealed carry aspect of it. And yeah, all of the things that come into play with decision-making and distances and all of that stuff, which I know a lot of people say they do, but we actually do it for sure. Awesome. We have a private range, and we can shoot way differently than you can anywhere else. Very cool.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, let's talk about things that folks, when they're out traveling, again, it's getting to that time of the year where Memorial Day is next weekend. A lot of folks will even maybe start heading out earlier in the week for sure next weekend. People will be doing things, even if it's just local, heading to the mountains, barbecuing, whatever it is, Bill, they'll be out and about. It's sort of the kickoff to summer. I know summer's not here until the latter part of June, everybody, but I always get corrected on that. Really, Bill, I think in Colorado, for all of us that have lived here for any length of time, this, for us in Colorado, maybe you guys are transplants or whatever, but I think, Bill, at least in my world, it always has been Memorial Day is kind of the kickoff to summer, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, or Mother's Day, you know, if you want to extend it to that. But when it stops snowing, we're good to go. There you go. It's summer.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, so as, you know, people are out traveling around doing things, and again, folks, this could be, you know, you could be in the car, you could be in the plane, and there'll be a little bit of differences here because there's things you can do not in an airplane that you can't do on an airplane. For example, you can't conceal carry and have your gun with you on an airplane. If you try to do that, you'll end up behind... Bars, most likely, Bill, or you have a big, huge fine, one or the other, liable to lose your weapon as well. You just don't want to do that. You don't want to take your gun to the airport. Yes, folks, I know if you're hunting or if you want to just take your piece with you, you can. You can go through the process of doing, you know, checked guns and all of that. And, yes, that's legal to do, and you can make all of that happen. I will say, though, Bill, I've done it in the past, and it is a major, major, major pain in the rear.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it can be. It's interesting because airlines do differ, and also the employees also differ in their opinions on how easy or how difficult that's going to be of a process for you. Typically, it hasn't been too difficult for me whenever I've taken mine. But it always goes back to the point of my classes, too. Stop saying that the gun is the only answer. I mean, in all honesty, John, if I'm in a plane and something goes down, the last thing I want somebody to do is to fire a shot. That's just not. Good point. No. There's other skills. There's other things that you can do. I've got other tools that I can do that, you know, I don't want that thing going out there. You know, my son-in-law who co-teaches with me, has a saying, he says, you know, imagine that whatever you're shooting at, behind that is a school bus full of lawyers' children, because that's really the reality of it. You know, it's not the answer. Nine times out of ten, folks, it's not the answer. Especially in context of self-defense.
SPEAKER 10 :
In light of all of that, as we're talking about traveling, and it depends on where you're traveling even. The other thing, too, Bill, that I think a lot of folks have to really think through, because there's been some stories of late of even folks not checking their luggage thoroughly, evidently, and even having one or two bullets, literally, ammunition that might be kicking around the pocket of a suitcase or whatever. all of a sudden they get to a foreign country where that's totally against their laws to have, and all of a sudden you're not home for six months. Folks, you might think I'm exaggerating in that. Go look those stories up. I am not exaggerating, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, they are true, factual stories for sure. In fact, on this trip I just went through, I went through my backpack, and I found around, and I was like, oh, my goodness, I am so thankful I found this. It's funny. I'll tell you, we went on a cruise in the Caribbean, and so we were on a cruise ship, And, you know, it's so funny because going onto the boat in the little terminal there, they had a sign of all the things you couldn't carry in there. It was funny. It had a big picture of a hand grenade. And it said, no hand grenades. And I'm like, I wonder how many times that's been attempted for it to make the sign.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, that's hilarious. That's hilarious. I mean, we laugh, but yet you know some of that has happened or they probably wouldn't have the sign up. Now, really quick, I'm going to give you all a little tip as well. Bill, you do whatever you want to do. You had to go through your bag. Luckily, you found something and so on. i learned a long time ago because i travel a fair amount so i years ago i mean it's been probably a decade plus now bill that i carry a backpack when i'm on vacation it's just the natural thing for me to do it's easier than anything else over your shoulder bag or whatever it's much easier for me just to have everything i've got in a backpack and what i have done outside of my laptop Everything else that I need on vacation, literally for vacation, is in that backpack, and nothing ever leaves that backpack ever. When I get home, it goes on the shelf. When I go to leave, it comes back off. I slip my laptop in it, and off I go. If there's something in it I use that's a replenishable type of a thing, wipes, things like that, Bill, I replace those before I put it up on the shelf so the next time I leave, it's all ready to go. And that backpack does nothing else besides that, knowing that I'm not using it for anything else, so my risk of having anything else fall into that backpack is very minimal.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, that's a great point. I just am not there with that particular situation with the backpack. But, you know, we're forever, you know, trying to pack our stuff and getting to wherever we're going, going, oh, I forgot this or I forgot that. And it's the same stuff over and over. So I bought the same thing like three or four times because I keep forgetting it. So I told my wife, I said, wait. We need to have a bag with all of our vacation stuff in it, and we don't need to unpack it. That's what I do. There's so much wisdom in that. You are doing exactly.
SPEAKER 10 :
Because I learned just a long time ago that that hassle factor, you know me, I hate hassling. And in my defense, Bill, my time is limited. Yes, I'd go vacations and so on. But even leading up to vacation and getting ready to leave and even getting back and, You know how that is. You're right back at it. You get thrown right back in. Sometimes I'm even starting before you ever hit the ground. And anyways, long story short, I just needed something to whereby I wasn't going to be spending a bunch of time doing one or the other. And backpacks aren't that expensive. So to have a spare one that literally, by the way, is even a little bit smaller than I would probably normally carry around because I don't need that much stuff. I try to be minimalistic when you go on vacation, so I try to keep things a little smaller just because it's easier to travel around with less stuff than it is with more stuff. But in turn, Bill, everything that I – again, everything I need on vacation is literally in one place.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, no, there's so much wisdom in that. And by the way, that serves another purpose. Let's say something happens and you need to get up and go. Good point. At least now, it could be – somewhat of a go bag depending on what you got in there. You're right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, in my world, if I took my regular briefcase and then grabbed that on top of it, there's probably not much else I would need to really handle what I need to handle because my daily bag has some of my quote-unquote bug-out gear in it. I've got things that I can start a fire with. I've got extra knives. I've got a multi-tool. I've got things that I carry on my regular bag all day long. I'm not carrying those things, folks. No, I'm not. And that's not going to be on my carry-on on the airplane for obvious reasons, Bill. And I don't want to have to go from one to the other thinking, oh, did I take that out of the bag before I, you know, I'm not doing that. It's just everything is here. I know it's TSA compliant. I'm ready to go. No big deal. And my daily bag that I carry around to go to and from the station is completely different. But if I had both of those, I pretty much have everything I need.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And there's so much wisdom into that. And, you know, I'll even... even throw another suggestion to you. What if you had a hotel bag, right? And it's like, oh, I've got to leave my house for whatever reason and check into a hotel tonight.
SPEAKER 10 :
Good point.
SPEAKER 03 :
And it's like, hey, do you have a bag ready with all your toiletries, maybe some extra clothes in there or whatever? It's called your, and you label this stuff.
SPEAKER 10 :
I actually do. You're going to laugh at me. I actually do have one of those also.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, so there's wisdom in that.
SPEAKER 10 :
And the only reason, Bill, is because I learned a long time ago, guys like you and I, I go to enough trade shows and junk like that where I have enough backpacks, as you probably can imagine, to pretty much do anything I want to do because you're always acquiring another one, and usually they're freebies. I don't think I've paid for the majority of the backpacks and bags that I own because you get so many freebies from these things you go and do. So what I've learned to do is, okay, if you need another bag for whatever, I just go grab a backpack. because, again, they're easy. Throw it over your shoulder, off you go. I just make different backpacks for different things.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, absolutely. And even if you don't have that, you know, go to Goodwill or ARC and pick up a cheap one if you're on a budget. You know, whatever. I mean, there's so much you can do. You know, the problem is we want to excuse everything. So do you want to or do you want to? You know, a lot of people say, well, I really want to do that. It's like, no, you don't. And if it's just a want to, then it's a wish.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, when I really want to do something, if I really want to do it, well, then I'm going to do the steps that it takes to accomplish that. You know, I say that a lot to people. They're like, oh, yeah, I want to do that. And it's like, do you want to or do you really want to? You know, because most people just wish for it. Good point. It sounds like good, you know. Good point. But it's pretty easy to do. And, you know, it's kind of funny because, you know, if you have that hotel bag, with the exception of, you know, the dirty clothes or whatever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, you come home, you throw it back on the shelf. Yep.
SPEAKER 10 :
That's what I do. You hit the nail on the... Okay, so, some of the things, and everyone's going to be a little bit different. Again, Bill, this kind of depends on, A, where are you going? What are you doing? What are some of the basics that you want to have with you when you're traveling and so on? And I mentioned this a while back, and I've even put some links up on it, and these are pretty handy. And, again, I want to be safe when I'm traveling. And there's all sorts of stories, and there was two of them here midwinter, actually late winter, early in this year, where even one of the national MLB baseball players lost his son due to carbon monoxide poisoning. So, Bill, guess what one of the devices is I carry with me at all times?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, a carbon monoxide detector. I have one in my backpack. Yeah. And you could get small ones, right? Very. I mean, we have HVAC taxes. You know, that's part of our business, too. And we have those sensors walking in and making sure that, hey, you know, when there's a gas leak or something, we go through with that sensor. It's a little handheld deal. You know, it's not very expensive. But, yeah, you know, you make a valid point because, you know, wherever we're going, what we're doing, what we're traveling on, where we're traveling to, will limit what we can and cannot take. That's right. And so if you have the safe travel bag that doesn't have any possible knives or multi-tools or anything to get pegged in, there you go. But that stuff should be on your persons anyway, and so those are pretty easy to just remember to take them out of your pocket or whatever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, and that's one, again, for me, I carry a pocket knife at all times, larger than a pocket knife actually. This is so weird because you couldn't do this today. I told one of my grandsons the other day that's in very young, elementary school, eight, nine years of age, I've been carrying a pocket knife, Bill, since then, and I'm not exaggerating. I've had a wristwatch and a pocket knife. since I was about eight years of age. And, yeah, I know people are thinking, man, that's weird. No kids do that, especially today, because you couldn't. You could have the watch, of course. But I guess, Bill, for me, I just learned that so many uses that you can, you know, that a pocket knife help you with, especially the right pocket knife, you could literally, I don't want to say you could survive only with a pocket knife, but you can do a lot with a pocket knife.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, you can do a lot. You can do a lot. You know, I grew up in Pueblo. you know, south of here. And, you know, I can remember before school, before even going to school, meaning first grade, you know, I had a BB gun, I had a knife, a pocket knife, and I'd, you know, go outside and play like I was a cowboy and shooting things and cutting things. I mean, that was standard day life, everyday life back then, you know. So, yeah, but, you know, those kind of things, you want to take your health because here's the thing that a is important, right? Am I going to get mugged? Am I going to get attacked or whatever? Yeah. But, you know, let's remember the bacterial attack. You know, you get cut, you could be the coolest ranger, Rick, you can ever imagine, but you're not going to survive that bacterial infection. So, you know, things like the carbon monoxide, I carry with me one of those little travel packs of Lysol, and I'm hitting the remote control at the hotel. I'm spraying that because I don't know what's been touching that. You know, common light switchers. And don't think, oh, they've got maids for that. Listen, don't trust anybody, right? I'm going to hit that stuff up.
SPEAKER 10 :
And never drink out of a hotel glass glass, by the way.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, nope. I always take a metal bottle with me. There you go. What's the plastic one, the Neofim or whatever they call it? Analogies. Analogies, yeah. No, mine's stainless steel. There's a couple reasons for that, right? If I need to throw that into a fire to boil water, I can't. And if I need to knock somebody upside the head, I can.
SPEAKER 10 :
That's right. That's right. I do the same. Same exact situation, Bill, on that. Now, really quick for those of you listening. Yes, if there's a plastic cup sealed where you have to open the wrapper to get the cup out, will I drink out of that? Sure, Bill. I have no trouble doing that. But anything else in that room that I would, you know, you're going to put water in or something along those lines and then drink out of? Yeah, no, not me. Not touching that. Not in a 10-foot pole.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it's nasty, right? I just don't know.
SPEAKER 10 :
And really quick, for those of you listening, I don't care how high-end or low-end the hotel is, the way it gets cleaned, it's all the same, Bill.
SPEAKER 03 :
And you know what? Here's the thing, too. If it doesn't look dirty, they may not clean it. They may not replace it. They may just say, oh, they didn't use it. That's right. I could take a drink out of that cup and put the little plastic little thing over top of it right back on there again.
SPEAKER 10 :
We know the difference. That's exactly right. Somebody had a question that came in. This is a good question, too, Bill, that we can answer fairly quickly. Do I or you... have any way to keep food cold when the grid fails? So in other words, if there's no refrigeration, what do you have? Well, and I'll answer for me. In my case, I have several coolers, the really good solid coolers that in a lot of cases could keep food cold if you really monitored things and kept them in the right place and so on, probably for at least, oh, I'd say at least five days, Bill, some of the heavier Yetis and things like that, They will keep things at least five days, even longer, depending upon where they're put, how cool it is at night, and so on. Outside of that, I do have a 12-volt, which, again, you'd have to make sure that that thing's even going to be up and running. And depending upon what kind of a failure there was, it may or may not work. But, yes, I also have a plug-in cooler you can run off of DC that I could use on top of that. But, again, that's limited depending upon how much power you're going to end up having.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And you know, I understand John that there's medicines that need to be keeps cool, but outside of that, you know, if you're worried about keeping stuff cold, so there's a, there's a power, we got to do a show on power failures and the lessons learned from this latest one, but there's kind of layers, right? So, you know, common one to two hours, you ain't worrying about it. You ain't worried. We did a service change yesterday. That's like, oh, my food's going to spoil. I'm like, your food ain't going to spoil. you know, just don't open your refrigerator. That's right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Leave it there. That's right. It'll be fine.
SPEAKER 03 :
Five times enough. And I'm like, okay. But anyway, that's another topic, but it's like, you know, you've got one to two hours, then you've got, you know, between that and maybe 48 hours is the next level, you know, and then you've got doomsday 48 and beyond. Right. And so you need to layer systems like this, but here's where I'm getting with this, you know, outside of medicine and, your prep should not be relied upon refrigeration. You need to think a little bit bigger than that. But, you know, we have a little motorhome, and I got a little propane refrigerator in there, so there's an idea. There you go. Great idea. Propane doesn't go bad. So you could run, you know, solar. You could get a generator. You could get, you know, like you said, the little 12-volter generator. You can find a propane refrigerator. So these are some other ideas that you can think about refrigeration. But I would encourage you to think past that. Now, again, I know some of you say, well, I've got insulin. I've got to keep cool and stuff like that. Yes, I understand that. But ice blocks in my freezers, I throw in, I'll fill up, use juice jugs after we're finished with them or whatever, milk cartons or whatever, fill them about three-quarters full. water throw them in there guess what you got a block of ice that you know things start going bad hey i can throw that in my refrigerator to help keep the refrigerator cool as well um but try to think beyond that get to your freeze-dried foods get to your canned foods get to you know get learn learn this stuff this is what we're big on get a freeze dryer get a canner you know learn how to can a mason jar canner a lot of people think can 10 cans i'm talking about jar canning right um You know, you could create a little root cellar just by digging down a little bit into the ground. There's lots of videos, lots of information on creating a little tiny root cellar, if you will, use the ground. Depending on what time of year it is, you know, in the winter, just throw stuff outside. You could be okay. But, you know, when you're thinking about – and we're kind of getting off of our topic here. I know we've got to hit that last break. But when you're thinking about food storage – You know, you need to be six months is your starting point. Yeah, you could start off with three months to get to six months, but six months is your, why do I say six months? Because what does everybody say? Oh, I'll get a chicken. I'll throw some seeds in the ground. It's going to take six months for any of that stuff to start to turn around. So you need to survive in the meantime. Yeah, great point.
SPEAKER 10 :
Great point. And by the way, great question. And as Bill was talking, if you go out and look, this is the one advent of technology. And as things continue to improve, they now make, I'm just looking at this, there's even a dual zone chest type metal freezer that you could run off of propane. So guys listening, if you want to get super fancy, and again, this comes down to each individual person and what you're worried the most about. But yeah, they are great. There are those sorts of things, Bill, that are made that if folks are really concerned about some of those things, yes, you can backfill that way, absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, propane doesn't go bad.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, in fact, in that case, if you wanted to have, I mean, I don't know how long one of these fridges would run on a regular bottle, but if you had either one of the tall bottles or three or four little bottles, I am guessing that you could make it through several months. Let me say it that way. I think you can make it quite a long time when it's all said and done. I'd have to look up the specs on that. But if you don't open and close the lid a ton and just let it sit, you're not going to have to do a whole lot.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and then you throw one of those ice jugs in there, too, like I talked about, because that'll help keep the amber. And then you're not cycling as much, so you can extend the life of that propane.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, well, we've got about two minutes or so left. Anything else when you're traveling that you feel is... you know, is a must. Now, for me, it's having to make sure you've got all your charge cords and all of that kind of stuff. And I talked about the carbon monoxide detector. And then, you know, there's some of the sanitary things that I carry with me on a routine basis. For me, Bill, it's also called... cash uh and it's in in multiple denominations that's something that's always in my backpack as well because you never know you know i always have some in my pocket but i want to have enough extra just in case you run into something where you need it and on top of that guys you might even want to have a few coin uh in that backpack as well depending upon what you're doing and needing just having some coin throw a throw a silver dollar or something like that in there if you've got three or four of them throw some of those in there as well those could come in handy in a unique situation bill
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and if you're going to a foreign country, like we went to Costa Rica, you know, grab some of the Colonies. That's the currency for there. You'll have some of those on hand, too, you know. So, and of course, you can exchange those at the airports or whatever, you know, and exchange them back when you come back through, whatever. But, yeah, you know, power, battery backups, little things to charge your phone, to charge your, you know, the one that I have actually has batteries in it, so I can charge my flashlight, I can charge my phone, I can... work it back and forth. You know, I have multiple purposes with that. The other thing that I took, going back to that health thing, is that, you know, I'm really big on essential oils. I don't know if you and I have ever talked too much about that.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, we haven't.
SPEAKER 03 :
That's a whole other thing that I'm really into is the natural path. You know, herbs and things. I have, you know, powdered yarrow I take with me. And, you know, yeah, sometimes you get questioned, hey, what's this from TSA? But most of the time not. But I have this little tiny diffuser that And when we were on our cruise in our cabin, we buy doTERRA oils, not that I'm sponsoring anybody. It's just a company we buy from. And they have a thing called On Guard, which, you know, helps against, you know, kills bacteria, kills, you know, stuff, cold, flu, that kind of thing. We had that thing cranking in our room all the time, especially when we slept at night. It just helped, you know. You're dealing with people all over the world. You don't kind of funk they have. Good point. And then the other thing I also have is I have a travel ozonator. Oh, nice. And that thing will purify the air, too. Yeah, so I always take those with me, too, John. Nice.
SPEAKER 10 :

And Charlie reminded me, too, that all of our partners, those people that are making this, companies that are making this program happen on a weekly basis, they are tailored to what we do here. So if you hear those ads, a lot of it literally dovetails in to what we do here on a weekly basis. So by all means, use them. Tell them you hear them here. They will appreciate that. I will appreciate that greatly as well. And don't forget the website, ready-radio.com.
