KLZ 560 AM DENVER'S CONSERVATIVE HOME STATION
Menu
The political landscape is fraught with challenges as we analyze recent losses and wins from Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race to Florida’s congressional districts. We discuss the obsession some have with high-profile figures like Elon Musk and dissect whether this affects political outcomes. With an insider’s view, we tackle the growing frustration among grassroots activists and critique the RNC’s apparent lack of direction. Our host shares insights into why some solidly conservative districts in Florida are showing worrying signs of turning purple. From voter apathy to candidate selection woes, this episode sheds light on the broader implications of these political

SPEAKER 07 :
So do you think that was compelling?
SPEAKER 20 :
I think it’s an interesting tactic. It’s a little Saul Alinsky-ish in the sense that you’ve got George Soros and J.D. Pritzker and Reid Hoffman and all these billionaires who’ve spent far more than Musk did in this and now pointing and saying, wait a minute.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t think they spent. On this, they didn’t.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, collectively, if you look at all the money from outside that was given to her, again, 77% of it came from out of state. Only 15% came from Schimel. And collectively… A number of the analysis.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m just saying, like in terms of the money from individually, if you look at the whole outside money that came from out of the state, it’s clearly you don’t think it was a referendum on Musk at all, though.
SPEAKER 23 :
Oh, I think it had a part of it. I think a lot of such a fetish for Musk. My gosh, they act like they like hold themselves up in their house and have romantical self-personal reflection time with to Musk’s image on the phone. It’s well, that’s what they act like. They act like a bunch of weirdos.
SPEAKER 15 :
You paint pictures. Well, I didn’t need that.
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, I can paint him even well-er, if you want. It’s just, it’s so stupid. This is so stupid. It wasn’t a reflection of Musk. It wasn’t a reflection of Musk. How was it a reflection of Musk? First off, welcome to the show. Greetings and salutations. I’ll get to all that later. How in the world, in what world is this a reflection of Musk? First off, he can I be real? He let me just set the stage here. He got into the race late in the game. All right. He wasn’t there. And I’m not saying that is like a negative. I’m just saying that, you know, for them to sit here and act like, oh, well, it’s a referendum on Elon Musk. But the but the 2024 mandate wasn’t a mandate. That’s asinine. They’re obsessed with it. Now, I noticed because that’s Scott Walker, who is a former governor of Wisconsin, talking to Jake Tapper here. I did notice that that Tapper failed or maybe wasn’t a failure so much as it was a purposeful omission. He he declined to also in that same comparison mention, you know, like the Soros and all this stuff. The Pritzker, Soros, all these people. I mean, Walker had to bring this up. But they’re like, well, it wasn’t a reflection of of Musk because that Supreme Court race, as you are well aware, is a race that Republicans didn’t win. And Republicans didn’t win it because of it’s like some sentiment of Elon Musk or they didn’t win it because for any other reason than Republicans didn’t turn out to vote. And the RNC has its thumb up its ass and is literally doing nothing. No one knows what the RNC is doing. Nobody knows. They’re not doing a single thing. I mean, you wonder why I’m always so hostile, hostile towards the GOP. I’ve been hostile towards the GOP since before Reince Priebus was the RNC chair. I remember sitting in a restaurant getting into an argument with Reince Priebus, and it was at a CPAC, and we happened to find ourselves and our respective families sitting at nearby tables. Now, the interesting thing is we got along fine after it, but I’m like, what are you doing? What are you guys even doing? And we just had this fun little discussion. But I don’t know what the RNC is doing right now. I really don’t know. And I’m not the only person who’s been asking this. You know, even Scott Pressler, who’s been up there in Wisconsin and has been going door to door and doing all of this, was asking, well, what’s going on? You got to have a get out the vote mechanism. And I talked to so many. I have so many friends in Wisconsin. I have so many friends in Wisconsin because I was going back and forth up there during the whole recall of the man that you just happened to watch. in in that video with jake tapper and i went up there quite a bit and got to know a lot of the activists a lot of the activists a lot of the uh organizers you know a lot of these really good hard-working people and you know i heard also from a lot of them during this whole uh lead up in the supreme court race and like it’s just they were frustrated they’re frustrated because it’s you know the rnc always falls apart they fell apart in 2012. And I know a lot of people, and I’ve had some of my friends say, oh, Dana, you can’t go on air today and be mad at the Republicans because, you know, the Republicans, they won a couple of things. Did they, though? Seriously? See, when I win, I want the souls of my enemies to expire into the ether because the meat case in which they subsided has been completely deconstructed into ash. That is what I want my victory to look like. I don’t take free shots. Like in pool, I don’t take sloppy shots. So I’m saying this was sloppy. It was sloppy for a Republican Party that had such a big mandate, right? It’s sloppy. And I’m always – Republicans do not play the long game. And they get mad at other Republicans when they do. Democrats play the long game. Republicans don’t. So like I said, I had friends who were like, Dana, like – You know, you can’t be so mad because, you know, there’s like some great there’s some great victories here. You know, we had some great victories last night. There’s two seats in Florida. And I mean, then there was, you know, the the one ballot issue there. That’s great again. But I don’t like weak wins. Now, let me tell you with Wisconsin. Because we started with talking with Scott Walker here and all this talking about Scott Walker, the soundbite from him. So in Wisconsin, it did come to an issue of voter turnout. You had multimillion dollars. I mean, 10 million, I think, that the Republicans spent. And I mean, it was that was a big that was a big loss. That was a pretty big loss because we’re probably going to lose two House seats now. You got that Supreme Court justice, the state Supreme Court justice, because that’s what this was. You had this Supreme Court race in which you had the far left lady who who also had money being put in by Pritzker and George Soros and all the big, super, you know, rich lefties. They all put money in here and. They wanted to make sure. I mean, they did that for a reason. There’s a reason why they did it like that. And the reason why they did it like that is because they want to be able to control these seats. They want to be able to determine and gerrymander these seats away. So you could say, well, we won two seats. Yeah, but we’re going to give up two seats. So this was a wash. This wasn’t anything. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don’t like it when bad news. commentators give you a false sense of the land because it, it betters their bottom line to do it for clicks. I’ve met, we don’t operate that way, which is why we last longer than everybody else and have a better audience than everybody else. And why we are number one in the afternoon. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I do because we are very consistent with this. When I tell you when I’m like over the top and, you know, celebratory, it’s for good reason. But at the same time, this is not one of those things. Because we’re probably going to end up losing, like I said, these two house seats. In addition, let’s look at Florida real quick. We’re going to come back to this a little bit more micro level. So Petronas won. That was the gate seat. That was always expected because it’s a solid red seat. And Petronas is a good dude. So I don’t have any objections there. But that was that was not a pickup. We didn’t flip anything. We just maintained it. The scary thing is what happened in Florida’s 6th congressional district. So in Florida, apparently, you don’t have to live in the district to run for the district. The guy who won the district lives 150 miles away. He was on the show, Randy Fine. He’s a big-time moderate. He’s not a conservative. He is not America first, although he kisses Trump’s ass to hide the fact that he’s not America first. If you go back and look at this dude’s record on the most important issues that you would define as MAGA, the guy falls so… abysmally short on every single one but bottom line if you know the people behind the scenes in florida who can make endorsements based on emotional recklessness while pretending they’re hard ass and calling themselves ice then you know if you can convince those people to get those endorsements then you can skate on through um but lives 150 miles outside of the district uh has a Tries to use Trump as a veneer. We’ll see how this plays out. But here’s the problem with this. Florida was a purple state before Scott Rick Scott left up until the moment he left the governor’s office. It took a good five, six years of new Republicans coming into the state legislature, a new governor to make all that happen, to get Republicans registered, outpacing Democrats three to one. to be able to flip counties like Palm Beach and Miami-Dade. That’s insane. And so this congressional district, 6, Mike Waltz won it by plus 33. That’s the predecessor who was tapped to fill into the Trump administration. Trump won it by plus 30. DeSantis won it by plus 35. And then this guy barely won it by plus 11. And another reason, Republicans didn’t turn out to vote. But I don’t blame them because they didn’t even get a chance to recruit one of their own. They had the party machine that said, this is the person that we’re going to be running, a guy who doesn’t even live in your district, who lives 150 miles away. Now, you don’t go from plus 33 to barely plus 11 easily. That is you picking an abysmal candidate. And the millions of dollars that were spent and the Democrat outspent the Republican. But I see some people saying that this was a massive victory. Were you dropped on your head? Did you accidentally come across Hunter Biden’s crack rock? Because the only way that is described as a massive victory is if someone slipped and fell and busted their head open all over the pavement. That’s the only way that I would give somebody a pass for thinking that this is a massive victory. And again, I say this because this is a stupid, unforced error. What do you think is going to happen when this state starts sliding towards purple, which is what I’m saying is going to happen right now? I think after DeSantis is out of office, there are so many rhinos because what ends up happening, same thing that happens in Texas. You’ve got these Republicans that can’t win as Democrats. They’re really Democrats, and they got money, but they can’t run as Democrats and win elections. So what they end up doing is running as Republicans, and then they get the establishment behind them. They make some deals, all this stuff, and they end up getting in these seats. And that’s what happened in Florida. And that’s what’s happened in Texas. But then look what happens. When voters give you a supermajority, they expect supermajority results. And what we’re seeing is not supermajority results. They’re fighting conservatives on property taxes. These rhinos in the state legislature there, they don’t want to give property tax relief. Hell, they don’t even want to give you your gun rights. They didn’t want to even step up and protect infants in the battle of life. They didn’t want to do any of this stuff. So they’re being dragged along, kicking and screaming because they’re really Democrats. When voters see this, I’m going to tell you something. If voters can choose between a real Democrat and a fake one, they’re going to choose the real one. These people are playing with fire in a state that we have to have because the firewall is not holding up in Wisconsin. Democrats outperformed. Republicans didn’t show up. And we spent millions of dollars on that. For what? Now we’re going to lose probably two House seats after the gerrymandering is all said and done. And then this test of the, you know, in the panhandle there in Gates’s district or in the Gulf side, that’s, I mean, solid red. So that wasn’t anything to worry about. The fine district, though, that’s incredibly disappointing. And so, like I said, these wins that happened yesterday, you know, And the losses, it’s it’s a fear of victory. And that was a that was a decent loss in Wisconsin. And you can’t tell me that. Well, you know, Republicans don’t play well there. Trump took that damn state. Stop it. But Republican voters have a problem with showing up in any other election other than a general election. Now, I know politicians won’t tell you this stuff, but I don’t need you to vote for me. So I will. This is a problem that’s got to be rectified, guys. Otherwise, 2028, I’m telling you, Democrats are playing the long game right now. And they don’t mind if you think that they’re in disarray and crazy. What’s the other hand doing while they’re distracting you with this? We’ve got a lot more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this hour. Our partners, the non-firearm firearm, it’s a burner gun. I mean, look, I am always going to tell you to carry. I have no problem with carrying. I am confident and empowered, and I have zero issue with using lethal force to protect myself or my family. If you want to diversify your weapons array, because maybe you have to go to places where, you know, municipal or private property laws, you get it, you know, gun-free zone signs. Maybe you want to be able to still protect yourself. This is where the burner gun comes in. It’s a non-firearm firearm that shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away, different models. Honestly, the model I think you should get is the Berna SD. That’s their most popular. It’s not like you’re going to go around concealed carrying a rifle. But you get the Berna SD, five rounds as compared to other stun guns or anything that performs similarly where you only have like one or two shots. I mean, zero recoil. And they don’t care about gun-free zone signs. They don’t care about, you know, there’s no background checks. There’s no waiting periods. They ship it right to your door and it’s legal in all 50 states. I mean, you can’t go wrong. And it’s a great way to diversify your weapons array so that you can always be protected even when entities or the state is trying to make you unprotected, make you a statistic.

And after the 40 day boycott against them, their foot traffic at stores is down for the eight consecutive week. Look, it’s real easy. Quit slapping rainbows on every damn thing. Like, oh my gosh, I don’t know if I can eat this bag of potato chips unless it affirms the genitals that I want to get it on with. I mean, for crying out loud, it’s a potato chip. Just eat the damn thing. But for real, like, just put your store, offer products, and shut up. Right? It’s that easy. Do you want a product? Go in the store and buy it. If you don’t want to go in the store and buy the product… Don’t. But don’t demand that the store stock its shelves with things that validate how you have sexy times. Because that makes you the freak. Shut up. Just go buy some stuff. Target wouldn’t have this problem. Let’s see. In Germany… Oh, this is interesting. They launched their very, very first, what, permanent foreign deployment since World War II. I don’t like it when Germany puts troops anywhere. Too soon. Too soon. They launched their first deployment abroad since World War II. They’re sending them to eastern Lithuania, which is NATO’s eastern flank. It’s going to be fully operational by 2027. Again, the last time… Second World War. Just saying. I get weirded out when leftists make lists and Germany puts soldiers somewhere. Just maybe don’t. Let’s see.

Yeah, because his name is Luigi. I’m not saying his name, so I’m just calling him the Mario Brother. All these bored, desperate women that can’t get dates have been sending him letters and they love him. They’ve been sending him mail in jail. It’s so weird. But anyway, he’s become like a cause celeb for all the kooky murderers on the left. And he was federally charged, so they’re seeking… I think they should. I mean, he walked up to a dude on the sidewalk and popped him. He hasn’t said he’s like mentally impaired or anything. He’s just evil. So yeah, kill him. You know, do you want to get a clean needle? I mean, you know, you’re going to the grave regardless. Let’s see if you’re selling your house this spring. Oh, wait, no, not that headline. Don’t do that. I got to do this one. John Wick 5.

SPEAKER 01 :
Well, it’s a very disappointing result on the floor there. A handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down a rule that’s rarely done. It’s very unfortunate in this case. 96% of House Republicans voted against proxy voting because they believe it’s unconstitutional and they agreed that it would open a Pandora’s box. And so that’s what we just saw. Let me just make this clear. That rule being brought down means that we can’t have any further action on the floor this week. That means we will not be voting on the SAVE Act. for election integrity. We will not be voting on the rogue judges who are attacking President Trump’s agenda. We will not be taking down these terrible Biden policies with the CRA votes. All that was just wiped off the table. It’s very unfortunate. We’ll regroup and come back and we’ll have to do this again.
SPEAKER 23 :
All right, so I’m about to get really mean. Which is really why you all watch. And you just wait. In the days that I’m not, you’re just like Dana. So I don’t say this coming from a place of animus. First off, welcome back. Dana Lash, bottom of this first hour. Chats at Rumble. If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can go and tell those people. They’ll beat you to death. Kidding. They’re very sweet, lovable people. But also Facebook X, all that good stuff. So like I said, I don’t say this as a place of dislike for anyone because I actually like the people that are involved in this. I don’t like Mike Johnson. I like the people that are involved in this. But here’s I know it’s very difficult for some drive bys to understand. You can like someone and then think that what they’re what that person that you like is doing is stupid. I think what Anna Paulina Luna is doing with this is one of the stupidest, most attention-seeking things that I’ve seen in quite some time. And I like her. I’ve defended her before. I mean, hell, I’ve raised money for her. Now, let me just preface this. Let me set the stage so you understand. So what ended up happening yesterday is basically you have Anna Paulina Luna working with AOC, and they wanted to introduce this bill for new moms so that they could vote remotely. And… When that didn’t happen, she had a fit and left the Freedom Caucus and then ended up creating this like theater. We’re in fighting with House leadership to essentially, you know, change the day they they wanted to stop bills from going up to a vote for this. And even though Mike Johnson is not helpless here, I don’t know what he’s doing either. This is the thing where I don’t get it. I mean, he chose to cancel votes for the rest of the week for no reason. And there’s literally nothing that’s stopping him. from putting up things for a vote. You have to have a new rule for it. And you can just do a new rule for it at any time, right? They’re mad over this proxy vote fight. That’s what this all comes down to. And it all stems from this situation with Anna Paulina Luna out of Florida. And she quit the Freedom Caucus because the Republicans would not back her push to allow a rules change for new congressional parents to vote by proxy. I’m going to tell you something. Sean Duffy, who’s the secretary of the transportation department. I know I know him and his wife very well. And when they had their youngest little girl and she was born with a heart issue, she she had some complications when she was born. He didn’t want to vote by proxy. So he resigned his seat. Because he felt that that wasn’t a constitutional thing. They have like eight kids. And he didn’t feel that that was a constitutional thing to do. That’s not what voters sent him to D.C. to do is just to vote by proxy. So he resigned and spent time with his family. Don’t tell me that your family first when you want to water down congressional action. And change every if you’re a family first, then why are you? I’m going to say it. Why are you in Congress? If you’re family first, you need to prioritize the order at which you’re creating your family and then going to Congress. This is not like any other regular job. Right. Things happen and you have to be there for it. So spare me the whole it’s not equal. You’re damn right. It’s not. It’s government. You’re going there on behalf of the people. I don’t care if I’ve had babies, too. So have women all throughout history. I mean, it’s a great, wonderful thing, but stop. Stop this. Stop this victimhood mentality. Stop the victim Olympics. Dear God, that’s not what we sent people like you to D.C. for. I’m so tired of Republicans doing these self-owned. Stop it. So, no, I think that they were right. She got mad at the Freedom Caucus because she wanted to do something that was pretty much antithetical to a purpose of gathering in D.C. and also the whole position of the right. And they’re trying to make it an argument that Republicans don’t like new moms, which I think that if you’re trying to set your own party up for stuff like that, I question your allegiance. So she resigned. She sent a letter. They’ve been fighting about it. And she said, I have consistently supported you even in moments of disagreement, etc. This respect was shattered last week. She wanted to force a mechanism and she worked with Democrats to do it. She wanted to force a mechanism that allows new parents in the House to vote remotely for 12 weeks around their baby’s birth. I’m pretty hardcore in this. And I think it’s a cop out for people to say. that you are not being family first or that the Republicans need to prioritize kids by diminishing the constitutional importance of how our Congress acts. I think that’s a cop out. If you’re family first, then get your priorities about putting your family first first. I didn’t have a radio career until my kids were a lot older. I did not have a newborn at home and was I wasn’t doing show prep and I’m pretty damn old school. I mean, a lot of people think they’re traditional. Hi, meet me. I didn’t do any of that because that wasn’t where my rightful place was. Oh, yes, I also believe in the Deppers and the Ruths and all that stuff. But for my particular position, this is how it was laid out for me. So I didn’t do all of that. I wasn’t getting on air and I wasn’t doing all of that. I actually put my family first and I stayed home and I raised my kids. Not everyone has that option. So I don’t need victimhood mentality theater if that doesn’t describe a drive-by’s particular situation. I’m giving you an example. My lived experience. Everybody has babies. Everybody raises kids. OK, but here’s the thing. When you choose to go to Congress, you choose it. No one forces you. There are certain things that you have to realize. One of those is that you need to make sure you’re servicing the voters and we’re not doing proxy voting. That is not what we’re doing. I find it ironic to sit here and say we can’t do proxy voting for America. We’re not going to do mail in ballots and all that stuff, but we’re going to do the equivalent of that for Congress. No, we’re not. We’re going to be consistent. And if you have a problem with that, then maybe your position shouldn’t be in the House. I don’t begrudge anyone for for wanting to focus on their family. But you can’t demand that Congress change process to something less than what we as conservatives and constitutionalists expect to accommodate you because you want to play a progressive card. And try to set something up more advantageous for yourself. It’s not a family first position. It’s not an America first position. And it’s not a common sense position. And it’s unfortunate that now we have another week because of this theater. Another week when the clock is ticking and we don’t have the time that we’re sending everybody home again and we’re not going to do anything. I throw something but I actually want to eat my yogurt, so I’m not going to throw it. And my coffee’s real hot. You see what I’m saying? Can you let me know if I’m being too old school here?
SPEAKER 15 :
No, this is actually pretty spot on. I don’t see an actual legitimate reason why Johnson… I mean, both of them are dumb. Yes, it’s both dumb. Like somehow they think two dumbs make a nut dumb because it’s not working that way.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah, it’s like two grapes don’t make a strawberry. Right? Was that a bad? They just died. I don’t know. But still. Still. Come on. So this is goofy. So I’m… Yeah, I’m a little… I’m a little verklempt this morning. To quote Mike Myers from SNL before he turned into a giant jack wagon. So now we’re going to come back to this. We got Liberation Day as well. So Israel… They removed all remaining tariffs yesterday. They did it right after the show. So helpful. They removed all remaining tariffs from U.S. products, U.S. everything. So there’s no tariffs now. In Italy, they’re moving to do the same thing. from what I was reading. I don’t know if that’s official yet. But it’s Liberation Day. And then we got the TikTok sale. That’s in days. Jeez, everything’s just hitting at once. Great job, Republicans in Congress. I’m sorry, I’m mad about it. And I’m going to come back to it repeatedly throughout the show. Okay. So I’m waiting to see the gains. You know, like I said, we talked about this yesterday, the issue with the tariffs. I am not at all against using this as a tactic to secure a more advantageous or an actual equal position. Right? That’s what reciprocal means.
SPEAKER 15 :
And Mexican President Claudia Sanz.
SPEAKER 23 :
No, they don’t know what that means. There are literally people who don’t know what that means.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s a shame.
SPEAKER 23 :
I’ve watched someone who has a column in a publication not understand what that meant all last night on X, and I just closed the app.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s sad.
SPEAKER 23 :
I know.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s a shame.
SPEAKER 23 :
I know.
SPEAKER 15 :
But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also conceded to President Trump and has said that she will not impose tit-for-tat tariffs. So there you go. If a country doesn’t like tariffs put on by the United States, they just have to lower or eliminate their tariffs. Yeah. It’s very, very simple.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah. That’s… Yeah, exactly. And that’s what it is. I mean, some of the stuff that our… That we were getting… The tariffs against U.S. products were… I mean… Amazing. 200% here and there. You know, 150%. I just… I mean, some of these countries, like China… I mean, we’ve got some of the highest… They have some of the highest tariffs on our products. The EU. Mexico. Vietnam. Ireland. Germany. Taiwan. Japan. So that’s what… That’s what all this is. This is to make it actually fair because it isn’t fair right now. And there’s no reason why if we’re sending a product, we’re exporting a product to any of these these nations, why we should have like a 200 percent tariff on our products. Now, I’m not against tariffs either, because before we had the ratification, what was it, 16th Amendment? Yeah. For taxes. That’s how we were able to raise federal cash was tariffs. when it’s applied properly. But now, and I do think it’s a little bit ironic that our government’s complaining about tariffs on our exports when they basically, I mean, taxes are tariffs on us, essentially. We’re just not, there’s a whole bunch of stuff. But that’s, you know, usually that’s how we did it in the past. I’m actually for going back to that model. Raise federal revenue that way instead of taxing the hell out of everybody. That’s how it should be done. So I get mad when I see headlines like this from Reuters. Trump’s sweeping tariffs will escalate the global trade war. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Before I set this whole headline on fire. No, that’s not how this works. Number one, the global trade war was already escalated by the placement of tariffs on our goods coming into these other countries. So we respond in kind and We’re told that that’s escalation. That’s a bullying tactic. Don’t push back because then you’re escalating it. You’re getting punched in the face by a bully and you’re told not to swing back because that would be escalating it. That’s the logic. That’s the logic that’s applied here. So that’s why I reject that. Now, you got the Mexican president. Now, Doug Ford said that they were going to eliminate. And it’s Doug Ford. I don’t know. Take it as what you will. But he had said that they were going to. It’s not cut 28. Yes, it is. Oh, it says Ellie Mistel on my rundown. So whatever the Doug Ford one was.
SPEAKER 15 :
Let’s go.
SPEAKER 23 :
Let’s go into it’s 29. Let’s play 29. That’s it.
SPEAKER 18 :
Again, he believes he’s supporting Americans. He said he was going to create jobs, create wealth, reduce inflation. It’s worked the total opposite. But do you think it’s fair that you have tariffs on a whole number of products? That’s right. And we’d be willing to take those off tomorrow if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem. Andrew, do you know the problem is China’s the problem. And he’s taking a blind eye to China as they continue to build their critical mineral mass. Is he as high as his brother was?
SPEAKER 23 :
Damn, I mean, maybe both Fords were on drugs. Who knows? I think you have to be in order to say that he’s not watching China. Seriously. I mean, we got 25 percent tariffs on China as well. So that’s that’s not even remotely accurate. It’s just silly. It’s also silly. But it’s this is the real, real equalness of it. All right. We’ve got today days of these United States coming up. Our friends over at Caltech, the Caltech PR 57. It is a new build from Caltech. It’s a five seven. It’s a rotary barrel pistol. and it’s the first of its kind, 40% lighter than the next lightest 5.7. And that innovative rotary barrel makes it so light, so nice. Now, I keep joking about this because I find it funny. The left always says, oh, my gosh, the clips. They call them clips. They can be correct with this one for once because it doesn’t use a traditional magazine. This is the other reason why it’s so light and slim. The unique top-loading design replaces the traditional mag with a stripper clip, so you have a slimmer carry profile and a 20-plus-1 capacity. Super low recoil. Quickest and easiest field strip out there. The MSRP is only $399. Y’all, this is so affordable. It’s crazy. I’m just saying Mother’s Day is coming up. Ladies, if you want a nice 5.7 that you actually can realistically carry, this is it. Dudes, if you just want a lighter, thinner one, this is one for you too. Because, you know, Father’s Day is after Mother’s Day. Visit Caltechweapons.com to learn more. Innovation Performance Caltech. It’s the first of its kind.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 06 :
And boy, you can see now that we are in a pre-Civil War culture now. when they describe things back then politically. There are profound differences, of course, in terms of just history and age and what life was like back then and cotton and slavery and Lincoln and… Don’t shoot us, bro. Robert E. Lee and so forth. There’s just so many… This incredible story, awful that this country had to go through that.
SPEAKER 23 :
What is his point in talking about this? Don’t shoot us. What is his point in talking about this? I mean, Alec Ball, I just, the lack of humility that this guy has.
SPEAKER 15 :
So he wasn’t talking about his marriage?
SPEAKER 22 :
How you say cucumber? Oh, I was born in Boston, but I visited Spain on vacation, and I’m Spanish.
SPEAKER 23 :
That’s literally what she did. He’s saying that there’s going to be a civil war. Did he fire the first shot already? It’s never going to go away. I always think it’s interesting that the people who talk most about civil conflict are the people who have not been in a fight ever. Like the people who’ve been in fights don’t actively, like especially war, don’t actively seek it out. They know the true cost. The people who don’t, the keyboard warriors, those are the ones that talk great games. The pencil pushers, those are the ones that talk great games. I’m just saying. We have a whole second hour coming up. And we got to talk about Liberation Day, Republican fight. Are we ever going to get a budget? OMG, WTF, barbecue. Back after this. It is our friends over at Gold Coat Precious Metals. And the economy, very slowly getting back on track. It’s a mess.

SPEAKER 19 :
A tariff is a beautiful thing, but it’s got a bad image. It needs you to fix the image. A tariff, we stop wars with tariffs. I mean, I had cases where I told a country that were being very aggressive with another country. It had nothing to do with us. I just don’t like seeing dead people, okay? And they were going to go to war, and I said, if you go to war, And they do a lot of business with the United States. I’m putting 100% tariff on everything you do, any business you do with this. No, no, no, this has nothing to do. I said, it does have. I stopped a war. Will I get Nobel Prizes? Never. I mean, look what we did with the Abraham Accords, how good that was. But you can stop wars with tariffs.
SPEAKER 23 :
You can. He’s he’s right with this. I mean, there’s been a lot of stuff that’s like I said, there are good tariffs and bad tariffs. I mean, it’s OK to make that differentiation. It’s also OK to say, you know what, we’re going to use this as a tactic. And I got to be real for the people who have been I’m still. I flinch when I hear tariffs because I think we are used to the examples in history when they’ve been done very wrong, very poorly, very poorly. But there are instances when, you know, you’re using them in the manner that he’s using them here when they actually can work. So long as you understand why you’re using them, why you’re using these, you’re articulating the duration. And I think he’s gotten better with the messaging on this. I wasn’t pleased with his messaging first when this first kicked off. It made me nervous because that’s a huge the economy is a huge issue for voters. And I didn’t want people to freak out. And, you know, most people I mean, when you sit down with folks, are you sitting down? You know, you’re going to Applebee’s. You’re going to have a beer with your friends. Did Gen Z do that? I don’t know. And you sit there. You guys don’t sit here and talk about tariffs. You know, you need to be able. So I thought his messaging was too anemic in the beginning. And I think he’s finally kind of hit his stride. And also, you know, are people understand when you tell them, look, do you realize the percentage that’s levied upon our exports? You realize what this is doing for American manufacturing, American jobs, et cetera. And then they people start to understand a little bit. And so he’s right with that. Welcome back to the program. Top of this second hour or second hour of the program. Dana Lash with you. Make sure you go find us on Substack. I got two pieces that will be coming out. One will be coming out probably later tonight. And then also Facebook, YouTube, all that good stuff. The chats at Rumble and Channel 347 Direct TV. There’s so much stuff I have to relay to you. You know, I like forget things, right? I’m like forgetting my keys, forgetting stuff everywhere. So… The Liberation Day, as it’s happening, I think so far some of these countries, Cain, are coming to the table. Mexico now. Yeah. Ireland looks like they’re talking.
SPEAKER 15 :
The ones that have proven to understand what reciprocal tariffs are.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yes. Because, Cain, for the drive-bys, reciprocal, what does that mean?
SPEAKER 15 :
It means whatever happens… That you do, it happens back to you.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah, did you ever do that with a sibling or a cousin?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, absolutely.
SPEAKER 23 :
You hit me, I’m going to hit you back. That’s reciprocal. It’s a reciprocal slap. See? That’s how that works. You know what made me think? Because I had a lot of cousins growing up. Sometimes that’s the only way you can protect yourself. You know that? if you had uh you know you had wild rowdy cousins you hit me i’m gonna hit you back now it’s not reciprocal reciprocal if you say i’m going to hit you back twice as hard see king that’s different that’s different or i’m going to also pinch you that’s different you know reciprocal means what i’m getting i’m given that’s it i’m matching your energy so how is that escalation How dare you react, United States? I mean, I get that all of these European nations that live off the welfare of our military like to dog on the United States. But, you know, they’re freaking out now. It’s not escalation. It’s equalization. See, wrong E there. Wrong E. So we’ll see how this goes. And we got the TikTok thing as well. So he’s putting, he’s lining up buyers. There’s a deadline, obviously, which is a couple of days. I don’t care. I’m not on TikTok. I have resisted every urge to get on TikTok. I have people telling me, you need to get on TikTok. And I’m like, nope, not going to happen. I’m just not going to do it. Number one, there’s too many things, right? Number two, no. Number three, China, huh? Number four. No, I don’t… I hate looking at my phone. I used to not have a problem with this. But now, for some reason, I woke up one day. I’m like, I hate doing selfies and I hate talking into the phone. I just hate the whole physical look of it. You’re holding your phone and you’re talking. It’s like an exercise in supreme vanity. And I just… It takes everything I have. And we, you know, the folks on the radio team, I know it kills their soul, but I just… I can’t. I don’t know what it is. Kane, I went from not having a problem to having a problem with it. And that’s honestly the biggest driver. That’s why I’m not on TikTok.
SPEAKER 15 :
And I hear there’s a sale pending?
SPEAKER 23 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
This week?
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, maybe. Yeah. They’ve got a list of investors. You’ve got, I mean, everybody and their brother that’s wanting to buy this now. And POTUS said that he can extend the deadline if he wants. He’s finalizing an ownership group. He said we’ve got a lot of potential buyers. We’ll see. I mean, Perplexity AI already presented a proposal. Other bidders, Frank McCourt, Jesse Tinsley, founder of employer.com. And then there’s a consortium that includes the CEO of Roblox. I can’t even believe that the Roblox CEO has this much money. Good night. So isn’t that just like the dumb, what’s the other game that’s not like Minecraft, but they have guns in it and they’re super goofy laser gun Fortnite. Isn’t that just like basically a Fortnite? It’s like the toddler version of Fortnite. Yeah. Okay. So the, uh, he said he could extend that. Why are you laughing? You don’t play it, do you? Okay. So, you know, I mean, he could extend the deadline if he wanted to. I’m not going to be sad if it closes. See, this is also why I’m really worried about any kind of… I think when you’re a content creator, you’ve got to be a little bit more business savvy. In our lives, we always do the, you know, three-legged stool. You have three separate columns that are completely separate so that if one falls, you still have… You know, you still got something. Everything’s got to stay separate. So you still got something coming in. These people that do their entire businesses off of TikTok, what did you think was going to happen? I mean, most of these, I think Twitter is a weird one, but most of these social media platforms have a lifespan. And Facebook, I think, has struggled. Instagram’s doing well, and Twitter there struggled for a little bit, but everybody still comes back to it because it’s the watering hole and everybody wants to play in it. But at some point, a platform, like what was it, Vine beforehand? And then what was before that one? There was another one before that one. There was Kick, Vine. I thought there was another one. It was similar to TikTok. But there were people who would create their whole businesses on it. And then a new thing would emerge. And they’d have to start all over and go to the next thing. So it’s not the best business plan to do that. It’s something I would expect from David from Schitt’s Creek, the show, right? That I would expect him to have a business plan like that. But it’s not something that’s that’s promises any kind of longevity at all. So we’ll we’ll see. I have this story. I told Ken I was going to get to it. So in August or sorry, in Augusta, Georgia, this is March is like in like last week. A guy named Chris Lewis, he was arrested after he left his three children unattended at a McDonald’s, right? And he had three kids. He had a job interview. And the Augusta Press has the story. He left his kids there to go to a job interview. But then a customer noticed that the kids aged 10, 6, and 1, excuse me, were left alone. And he had his kids there. the play place and he went to go do his job interview a responding deputy found the children unattended a witness reported seeing lewis with the children around 4 30 the witness then observed lewis leave the restaurant and returned later before leaving again he arrived back at mcdonald’s so they were he was there at 4 30 here right back at 6 18 he was detained by officers He said he had walked to the restaurant with his children from his apartment. He did not want to make them walk back while he attended a nearby job interview. He said he did not own a vehicle. The children’s mother arrived shortly, took the children from the restaurant. He was arrested and taken into custody. The children, they went to go back with their mom. And I got to say, because now this guy is going to have to fight this legal stuff. I think it’s really easy to judge. But this is a dad. He’s taking care of his kids. Maybe not in the way you would take care of your kids. And he’s trying to get a job. And from everything that I had read, he took his kids there. They ate. They played in the play place. And he went to go do his job interview. This is where… I get aggravated in society at large. Because society at large, even in our day-to-day interactions, so many people have a progressive mindset. And I say progressive mindset because they didn’t want to bother really too much themselves in seeing if this dad needed help. They called the police to come and do it. Without knowing the guy’s circumstances, they made a judgment call. I don’t know that I would have done that same thing. I think I would have. And what I think this, you know, person should have done is, you know, maybe maybe, you know, kind of keep an eye on the kids and talk to the dad when he came back. I don’t know. It reminded me, and Cain brought this up too, of the kids that there was a story of, what was it, an 11-year-old and a 9-year-old that walked down the road, not even a block, walked down the road because they had a park on their street, like a neighborhood park. And they walked down the road to the park and some busybody saw and called the cops. Mom was home. Mom got arrested. She’s like, my kids are walking to the park. There’s tons of stories like this. They have the free-range kid movement. So it was a 10-year-old, 6-year-old, and 1-year-old. I just feel like this is not the time to respond with the cops. This is a dad who’s trying to do the right thing and he needs help. And now he’s got to deal with all of this legal stuff. Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown heard about the case. He stepped in and he’s apparently trying to Help. They set up a GoFundMe for the dad. And he said it reminded him about the pursuit of happiness, the life of Chris Gardner, who spent a year homeless in San Francisco before he found a job. And Brown said, you know, I know he shouldn’t just leave his kids, but some people don’t have the means. This is we’re going to do a GoFundMe said that he always does. And he’s looks like he’s helping with some of the legal stuff. I feel bad for this dad because he’s a dad. Look, I grew up poor. I know the position. I mean, when I say I grew up poor, you guys, I couldn’t afford basic necessities for school. I lived on the generosity of other people for a while. I had a single mom and after she was getting on her feet and we were fighting from not being statistics. So I get it. That’s why I think he wasn’t doing drugs. He wasn’t drinking. He wasn’t goofing around. He was trying to get a job. And Now he’s got to deal with all of this. And I’m happy that other people are stepping in. But it’s like, you know, in the story that I saw, an elderly neighbor, their grass got real tall. And somebody called, what is it, the city on the neighbor. And they started finding the neighbor. Instead of just walking over and saying, do you need help? Can I mow your grass? Being good stewards of your fellow man literally means being good stewards of your fellow man. That’s what people are called to do. And calling the cops on somebody isn’t necessarily the thing that’s always required. I hope this dad gets on his feet and I hope that he’s able to preserve some grace in his heart that wasn’t shown to him by the person who called the cops. I’m sure the person was looking out for the well-being of the kids. But is this the best way to go about it? Give the dad a break, man.

SPEAKER 23 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of this second hour, we’re watching all the tariff, the tariff Liberation Day play out and watching this play out as well. The fight in the House. I was talking to a member of Congress just, you know, back channel just for some background information. There wasn’t a single female other another female Republican that actually voted for this rules change campaign. for the House. People are really mad. And this has to do with this fight, Mike Johnson and Paulina Luna, over changing the rules to allow congressional members to vote by proxy if they’ve had babies. Sorry, but I’m not sorry. We have fought for how many years now to battle… The mail-in ballots, the vote boxes, you know, the ballot boxes that were just randomly placed on streets after COVID. Remember this? We fought so hard against that. The idea that an elected official should be able to vote any other way but in person is offensive and it’s anti-America first and it’s a betrayal of the voter. I mean, maybe I’m coming at it from a little bit more of a personal perspective because, see, we’re in Texas and Kay Granger is also in Texas. Nobody knew where Kay Granger was for such a long time. Kay, where was she? Where was Kay Granger at? They found her. Where was she? Oh, wasn’t she in a nursing home? She was. That’s right. Voting. You wanted to vote by proxy. We know. No, that’s so dumb. So I just and now because Mike Johnson had his feelings hurt in the fight, he decided to send everyone home. We don’t have time. They’ve got we got reconciliation coming up. There’s all kinds of things that need to happen before the filing and the midterm elections kick off. And we’re wasting our time on this. I think it’s a self-serving, attention-seeking move that does nothing to benefit voters. And it actually sets our argument back about mail-in ballots and plus voting by proxy is unconstitutional. End of. End of. If you’re mad about juggling a newborn and being in Congress, then wait to plan your family for when you’re out of office. That’s what smart women do. You don’t sit here and make unconstitutional proposals and demand that everyone acquiesce to it. And then when you’re a speaker, you don’t get your feelings… You don’t get butthurt and send everybody home. It’s like dealing with the most… Just asinine stuff. This isn’t about women at large, by the way. It’s just about her. I know her. I don’t dislike her. I just think what she’s doing here is stupid. I think it’s all performative. And I don’t know why we’re tolerating this stuff. We don’t have the time for it. We don’t have the time. It’s just not… I think some people need to get over themselves. Get back to the business of the voter. But yeah, coming at it from a little bit more of a personal… Because we have Kay Granger here. And you guys, I mean, people were wondering, well, what was going on with Kay Granger for the longest time? They literally, Dallas Express, quote, exclusive, where’s Congresswoman Kay Granger? She’s been in an assisted living home. They found her wandering around lost and confused. She just stopped going. She just stopped showing up. The Dallas Express ended up breaking it. They found out that she was, I mean, literally in an assisted living home. No one could get a hold of her. Her last vote was on July 24th, 2024. And she had not cast any other votes after that in D.C. Nobody knew what happened or her staff didn’t know what was going on. Looks like her office is closed. This is back last year when all this like towards when was this out? Yeah, December 20th, 2024. Nobody knew where she was. And then they got a tip that she was in a local memory care and assisted living home for quite a long time because she had been found out wandering, lost and confused in her former neighborhood. So Dallas Express went to the facility. They confirmed she was there. They wanted to see how she was going to vote on the spending bill. And the nursing home did confirm she was indeed living at the facility. And no, you could not talk to her. You could not ask her how she planned to vote or anything. And one of the assistant executive director of the senior living facility said, quote, this is her home. Now, this is another reason why I know we’re not going to have proxy voting in Congress. Do you realize that part of the job of Congress is to get in the same room together? Iron sharpens iron. You debate these ideas. You discuss these ideas. You don’t just vote by proxy. It is unconstitutional and it doesn’t serve the voter. This isn’t about you. This isn’t about you and it’s not about your baby and it’s not about your family. This is about millions and millions of American voters. I don’t want to hear from the there’s nobody defending it, but I don’t want to hear from anybody who would defend it. Another damn thing about mail in ballots and voting boxes and all of that, because you’re just arguing the same thing for Congress. I’m mad at this because we don’t have the time. We don’t have the time for this. We have we do not have the time to deal with this stuff right now. We have got to get this agenda implemented because it’s getting harder and harder. Wisconsin, we could lose two seats. Two seats. Now, sad news yesterday. Kane, one of the greats. I didn’t have it in my quick five because, lo, tis greater than quick five. It deserves its own piece, its own time in the show. And, of course, I’m talking about the passing of Val Kilmer. Oh, my gosh. The fact that this man did not win an Oscar for his Doc Holliday. I’m telling you. It’s shameful, Kane. I mean, it was just he was robbed. He was robbed. He was robbed. But he passed away. What was he, 65 years old? They said he had pneumonia and had some complications with pneumonia. And, I mean, he was in so many… Like, Weird Science was great. Or no, Real Genius. Sorry, it was Real Genius. Real Genius was amazing. Batman Forever, obviously, you know, when he was in Oliver Stone’s The Doors. And then there’s, you know, the Doc Holliday in Tombstone, which is a movie about how gun control fails. His daughter… confirmed to the new york times that the cause was pneumonia he was 65 years old he had throat cancer so he was battling throat cancer for a long time and i can’t imagine how you know having pneumonia and then having to deal with that but uh i watched that documentary that they made on his life back in 2021 his son provided the actor’s voice his son oh no i thought it was him And then I only realized at one point when they gave it away that that’s actually his son talking. His son sounds exactly. I’ve never heard anyone sound so. If they wouldn’t have told you, I would have thought it was him the whole rest of the documentary. The tone, the pitch, the elocution, everything was him. And he was really good in Batman. I thought George Clooney was bad. I hated George Clooney as Batman. It just blew. But Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton were the best. They were so good. But he was just great. He’s been in this, and he was a person of faith. He and his ex-wife were still really good friends. They had two kids together. But I liked him because one of their, and of course, obviously, you know, Iceman and, you know, you got to talk about his iconic role in Iceman or his as Iceman. And then that scene from Top Gun where they did the sequel, right? And he was older and he had passed me. And that hits differently now, doesn’t it? Oh, my gosh. But one of the reasons I really liked him is he could play any character. Because I think for an actor, I think acting can be difficult. And here’s why I say that. We live in a society that wants you to overshare everything. You are incentivized to overshare everything. You are incentivized and that oversharing is monetized and it is just a whole industry. And even people in acting get drawn into it, which makes it difficult because they have to be able to slip into different identities and convince you, the viewer, sitting in a theater or in your own home, watching them through a screen. They have to convince you with their performance that what you’re seeing is real. And so many people, their lives lived outside of a set. It’s louder than their work done on the set. And it makes it really hard to have that suspension of disbelief. And it’s one of the reasons why I love movies and I hate them. I cannot watch bad movies. I can’t even watch mid movies. I can’t sit there and watch something unless it’s very good and compelling and you’re just roped in. I’ve never seen him in anything bad. And he didn’t he didn’t constant. I don’t know what he thought about political issues. He was just a nice guy. I knew that he was a person of faith. He was raised that way. But he never was a jerk to anyone. He never went told anybody how to vote. He was an old school person. Actor, Hollywood, old school Hollywood. And seemed like the nicest guy when he interacted with his fans in his documentary, that documentary on his life. If you haven’t seen it, it’s called Val. You should, although you’re gonna cry your head off now. But he lived next door to his daughter and he was still going to these different events, like these fan events. And he just, he, and he also did like all kinds of voiceover, voice work. But he lived in New Mexico and he, you know, painted and he helped high schoolers, high school theaters and theater performances and all that stuff. But you could believe him in every role because he could slip into every identity because you didn’t know a thing of what he thought about when he wasn’t acting. Kane, do you know what he thought about politically? No, I didn’t know. Didn’t care. Didn’t care. because his performances were so good and when he wasn’t performing he seemed very nice like keanu reeves i have no idea what keanu reeves thinks about politics and that’s why i think he can be anybody you can just be anyone because you know there’s enough people like me in the world that tell you all of our opinions all day long it’s weird when you get someone who doesn’t And really loves the craft enough that they put themselves second and their skill first. It’s so rare. I think it’s one of the reasons I really liked him. And I really liked his character in Top Gun. I just liked him. So, I don’t know. I just, it’s just, this one was a hard one, Kane. And now you know. Granny’s rule of three starts in again. It’s new. So now two more have to die. What’s the death pull, dude? What do we got? I mean, it’s sad, but I’m also like, okay, who’s next? It’s never the people you want. You know? I don’t mean it like that, but you know what I mean. I just realized how… You know what I mean, though? It’s never… When you think of, like, somebody pipes up and you’re like, golly, they’re still living. It’s never those people. I’m not saying you’re wishing death on them, but you’re just, you know… Maybe you’re kind of like, oh, they’re alive. Shucks. I don’t know. That sounds bad, too. We should probably get moving. We got… We have Florida Man on the way, but rest in peace, Val Kilmer. He was a real one.

SPEAKER 12 :
The military had been turned into a social experiment. Apparently, they’ve been looting the coffers in Washington for a long time of hundreds of billions of dollars, terminating the lives of our children. I mean, we all know the litany of things that are happening. It feels like it’s going to take a determination from the people of faith if we’re going to see this walked back to the place it needs to be for the sake of our children.

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 23 :
I don’t know what’s happening here. All right. So we were talking about the hang on. My whole thing froze because, of course, it did. We were talking about the rule of three real quick. And I just realized I don’t know that we actually have a time frame. For the rule of three.
SPEAKER 15 :
I thought it was like within three weeks or within like just a couple few weeks.
SPEAKER 23 :
We’re going to have to devote a segment next hour to figuring this out. Because I can’t like dig up my granny and be like, hey, lady, you forgot to tell us. Along with your chicken dumpling recipe.
SPEAKER 15 :
Why are you even thinking about doing that?
SPEAKER 23 :
Because I really want to know. Like, you know, I’m fascinated by this. All right. Let’s get to the meat and taties here. All right. So. Oh, no. No. Okay. Hang on. This is not a real story. It says that the link is probably broken. I don’t know. A guy. No, it is. No, it is. A Florida man shows his munchkins at the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, you’re right. The link is broken.
SPEAKER 23 :
Auburndale. This is Tampa Bay. He was arrested because he showed off his munchkins in the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru line, according to the police. Yeah, not his kids. Not like that anyway. So they filed, Paul Ring is 60. He has charges filed against him because he was exposing his sexual, S-E-C-K-S-H-U-L, his sexual organs. They said the incident happened on March 19th. He looks so pleased with himself. In the mugshot, it’s really weird. He was in a red pickup truck in the drive-thru lane waiting for his order. The victim was working the drive-thru orders. Then Mr. Ring pulls up and she asked for the card to pay for the order. And that’s when she noticed his munchkins were out. And then he drove off. So she had to call the police. And apparently he’s done this before. And they found him from his vehicle tag. They identified him and they took him into custody. And he just looks as happy as a clam in the… His mugshot, it’s so… Oh, Juan right in… Look, Juan coming in clutch. That’s so… He looks like a drunk-shaven Santa.
SPEAKER 15 :
He’s definitely pleased.
SPEAKER 23 :
Showing off them munchkins in the Dunkin’ line. Let’s not. Let’s not do that. OK, I don’t understand the story at all. A Florida woman uses an air vent to get pregnant and gives birth to a miracle baby. She says it’s like the Virgin Mary. There’s so many things wrong with us. So she was supposedly in solitary confinement. She says. OK, I can’t. This this is. Well, she apparently used, I don’t know how to say this. Kane, why did you give me this story? She used something passed by a fellow male inmate through an air conditioning vent to inseminate herself. I’ll just put it like that. And that’s as far as I’m going. There it is. Really don’t think that that’s how it happened. But now she’s further in trouble. And apparently the other, the dude’s in trouble. And yeah, I don’t know. This is, oh my gosh, I’m going to jump off my roof. Stay with us. I love all family pharmacy. First off, they made me well. And they made me well fast.

SPEAKER 17 :
This result in Wisconsin is a huge, huge defeat for Elon Musk, who, as we saw, personally went there, went full cheesehead, thinking, what, that’s how to appeal to people in Wisconsin? And handing out those million-dollar checks, literally trying to buy the election, physically doing the buying.
SPEAKER 23 :
He didn’t say anything about Soros, about Pritzker, about all the other big lefties that went in and did donations. But they always come back to, Musk was buying it. He gave donations and he was actually a court ruled he was totally fine to do what he did, cry harder. But he can’t do it all by himself. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. So that’s one of the big things. This Wisconsin, I mean, they’re going to have to. There was a win. That was a big win for Democrats. And you have Susan Crawford who wins. Democrats really, they came out. And to a greater degree than Republican voters. And we’ve got to get over this thing where we think that people don’t have to. If Trump’s not on the ballot, then that’s you don’t really need to go out. That’s this is a very dangerous way to think about stuff. We can’t be doing this. So the she wins. So ultimately, it Republicans have spent millions. We lost about 10 percent. although I think that they spent more on the left. And you’re going to now see the push for gerrymandering, and there’s a potential to lose, actually probably will, two seats because they’re going to draw the lines, redistrict everything in a way that Republican strongholds will be weakened. So that’s going to be unfortunate, and it’s going to be a battle. But that’s, you know, elections count. Even these, they count. And then in Florida… You have Petronas who won his seat. That was Matt Gaetz’s old seat, and he did pretty well. Fine. And the 6th Congressional District, that was an embarrassing… He dwindled a really red seat that Mike Waltz previously took, plus 33. Trump had it plus 30. DeSantis had it almost plus 35. And he barely won by 11 points, a spread after they… There’s just no excuse for that. He didn’t live in the district, though. So that’s kind of the problem. He underperformed by over 200,000 votes, almost lost Volusia County. That’s Daytona. And where you have also other parts of Florida, including Marion County, places that have been red for the past several election cycles. I mean, he just damn near lost them. So Republicans got to get it together. So and I think some of that has to do with the people who are making the endorsements. need to be better at making endorsements. You have to realize the endorsement game is a racket just like anything else. And there are some people that like to present themselves as being hard as nails, but it’s very difficult to see someone as being tough as nails or ice cold when they make their stratagems based on emotion. Petty emotion. Can’t be doing that. I mean, we got to put the voters first. And a lot of these people with the endorsements that they’re suggesting are not doing that. And that’s a difficult thing. So a lot of very uncomfortable conversations because this stuff is I mean, we’ve we’ve we got to keep pushing through. We have to keep pushing through. And audio sound by 10. This is Musk put it into. I want this is the this is the context. This is why this loss is a bad one for Republicans. He gets it. Listen, audio sound by 10.
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, the reason tonight’s elections are so important is that the judge race will decide whether the Wisconsin districts get redrawn. They’re going to try to gerrymander Wisconsin to remove two Republican seats. And as you know, the House is currently Republican by a razor-thin margin, which means that losing this judge race has a good chance of causing Republicans to lose control of the House. If you lose control of the House, there will be nonstop impeachment hearings. There will be nonstop hearings and subpoenas. They’re going to do everything possible to stop the agenda that the American people voted for when they voted for President Trump with the popular vote and the House and the Senate in November. They’re going to do everything possible to stop the president’s agenda.
SPEAKER 23 :
That is true. We’re getting in weird territory. And even if we maintain, we didn’t pick up two house seats. We maintained two house seats. So there wasn’t any flipping going on. Now we’re going to lose two. So it’s it isn’t it’s not a big it wasn’t a big win last night. So onward. And we’ve got to stop messing around with some of the silly stuff that we’re seeing, like the stuff that’s going on in the House right now. I’m going to have one last word on this. The idea that it’s misogynist – and I keep seeing people say that – to ask voters or to ask congressional members who willingly, voluntarily signed up to represent voters – If you think it’s misogynist for women in elected office to show up and vote the same as men and many other women who previously have had no issue, then I think those people need to reconsider their futures in elected office because they’ve lost the plot. And. It is not mean to say this. By demanding special accommodations for women, you are in effect arguing that they be treated in an unequal fashion. It’s a progressive push. You sign up to represent voters and that’s what you have to do. You know that going in, you know that’s the job. You know that you have to be in D.C. This has not been an issue in all of the years that we have had government. There are things called babysitters also that exist. And if you can afford to run for office and the outfits to walk around in D.C. and and the travel and everything else, then you can also afford to have someone help you with your child if you have no one else in your family to do it or if your husband isn’t even able to help if you’re a woman. I mean, this is the nature of it. To demand a special accommodation is an anti-conservative position. And it’s not constitutional to demand that everybody be able to vote from home. We’re not turning Congress into some big work-from-home enterprise. And I just gave you the example of Kay Granger last hour. I mean, I live next to the district. that Kay Granger represented. And she was in a nursing home, literally in a nursing home. Nobody had any idea where she was. She hadn’t voted in a year. Nobody knew. That’s insane, people. We’re not doing the whole work from home with Congress. This is a part of the job. And honestly, I’m okay with it being an unappealing part of the job. I think that Congress has gotten too cushy a position for some of these people. You know, going into elected office was supposed to be a consequence of being successful in other endeavors in life. And I say consequence because it was previously viewed as with the same level of fondness as jury duty, right? You’re serving the public. It is a public service. But there are people like Nancy Pelosi and others who go into Congress and they get rich, right? rich. And even if they’re not insider trading, you get book deals and you get lobbyist offers and you can finagle it into like a TV contributorship when your time in office is done. There is no shortage of opportunities. So I’m okay. with taking away some of the perks of the, of the position. There have been tons of women. I know many mothers who are currently serving and have young kids who are currently serving in Congress. It’s not an issue for them. So I can’t believe this is the hill that the Republicans are going to die on this week. So stupid. What the hell is happening with this party? It’s a progressive position. And I think that, uh, I think that the right needs to be very wary of this stuff. I see people calling for this, like paid family leave and demanding that companies provide paid paternity leave along with paid maternity leave. When I say I am super old school and I am super conservative and when I threaten people I’m more conservative than you probably are, it’s because it’s true. I think all of that’s big government. And I think a government needs to be coming in and telling businesses what they should or shouldn’t do. And I don’t and I reject the argument that I see many Republicans, not conservatives, make that we have to make these policies in order to create a more pro friendly America. You’re literally going back to the well of government to solve a problem that only society can remedy. Tell me again how you’re conservative. Why the hell do you have an R after your name? It is a progressive mindset. It is a progressive policy. It’s LBJ. It’s not LBJ. It’s Roosevelt. FDR light is what it is. I don’t know why people go back to the big government. Well, when they need to solve a problem in society that only society can solve. And so for Congress, I mean, again, I have kids. I waited to start my radio career because I play into my family around this stuff. And don’t tell me you can’t play in your family. We all know how babies are made. Stop. I just reject these these weak excuses, weak progressive excuses. Don’t we’re not making Congress a work from home thing. That’s not how Congress was designed. It’s supposed to be a collaboration. You’re supposed to have people go to D.C. and they they battle out these ideas for the benefit of the voter. And you can’t do that when you’re ensconced at home for however many weeks. So that’s that’s just it. I mean, and we didn’t even have to do any of this stuff right now. We could have done this rules thing at any other point. But Johnson wanted to tie it to the Save Act. And then he tried to act like there was nothing else that he could do. Which is a lie. So you have two theatrical. It’s basically like two theater kids are fighting in Congress right now. And the voters were getting the rough end of it because now we have to wait even more. Nothing’s getting done now. But it’s there is a there’s an attempt to rewrite this on the left. Or on the right, rather, by using. And by the way, the House of Representatives also has a child care center, by the way, they provide full day year round child care. And they’ve been doing this since 1987. So stop with the whole it’s not. It’s not family. It’s not family friendly. I just, you know, I don’t agree with us. And it’s, you know, you got to show up and work. And if you don’t want to do it, then don’t go up for the elected office, right? And I think it’s a bad representation on women, especially like with some of the paid family stuff and all of this. You’re not going to be able to solve it with big government, guys. You’re not going to be able to do it. Now, a few other things to touch on because… Cory Booker, did he ever get to go to the bathroom, Cain? Not that I care, but… I’m not really sure.
SPEAKER 15 :
I didn’t find out, nor did I care about the details and whether or not he was wearing Depends.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Because you said he couldn’t leave the floor, right?
SPEAKER 23 :
No, he couldn’t leave the floor.
SPEAKER 15 :
So 25 hours was his total speech time. Have you ever gone that long? No. Without going to the restroom in some way?
SPEAKER 23 :
No, I haven’t.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, me neither.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah. We have a lot more on the way, including we have tech issues. We’re watching TikTok. Got some culture stuff for you as well, so you don’t want to miss anything. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024, consistently reaching new highs.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 23 :
So first up, a North Carolina man is giving a Florida man a run for his money. He wore a bear costume to scare off a real black bear. Oh, he literally dressed up as a bear and stood out. It’s hysterical in North Carolina. Sounds like it’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Did he survive? And yeah, well, he put it on. There’s a video of it. And most people would, you know, maybe use a different tactic. But he put on I don’t know if it worked or not, because the article doesn’t actually say it of our W.I.R.F. Because the person who wrote it apparently has one single brain cell and they don’t know how to properly write a piece. So between that and the, you know, pop-up ads that just are on the site like an STD, I just don’t, you know.
SPEAKER 15 :
I feel like if he died, it’d be in the headline.
SPEAKER 23 :
Yeah, I feel like it would too. But I’m not going to go through all of their stuff just to get that. Saved you a click. Screen time is blamed for cross-cultural drop in birth rates because everybody’s doom scrolling. I don’t know. They said over half of 18 to 34-year-olds are not in a steady relationship nor are they living with someone. They said most people don’t feel pressure to find a partner. Most half say they’re not even looking. And they said a lot of people say it’s the library of entertainment at our fingertips. No, I don’t think so. I think it’s more than that. I do think that the way people gather has changed, but I think that society has become so insufferable. It is a minefield to try to go and date someone because you don’t know if they’re going to be a giant woke scold and accuse you if you’re a man of rape. Or if you’re a girl, you have no idea if they’re going to be like a progressive, you know, patriarch wannabe. You have no idea. So I think that’s honestly what contributes to it. And everyone wants to blame the screen time instead of looking deep within their souls and realizing the call is coming from inside the house. Also, let’s see. We’ve got a narco sub located with Hunter. Was he driving it? Six and a half tons of cocaine was seized in the Atlantic. Hunter went down there with a package of straws to just snort it out of the ocean. They had a lot of help. Portugal police, they were involved. DEA was involved. Wow, crazy. What would you do if you woke up during your flight and found someone braided your hair? Someone on an American Airlines flight fell asleep and woke up with a braid in her hair. I would braid their face. I would. A man braided her hair while she was asleep on a plane, apparently. And it was a long haul flight. And it is a woman, I will just say, who has processes under her hair to make her hair straight. And that is one thing you do not do. Look, we have an understanding. I don’t mess with your power tools. You don’t mess with my hair. Okay. That is the understanding. You know what I mean? Like you kill the spiders and I won’t touch the thermostat. That is the understanding. This man did not get that understanding. He broke the code. Brothers, you need to beat down. He broke the code. All right. We got more on the way. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 13 :
Hi, I was a worker at HHS. I was fired illegally on February 14th. There are many people who are not getting social service programs, especially people with disabilities. Are you going to do anything to stop what’s happening?
SPEAKER 26 :
You probably deserved it.
SPEAKER 13 :
I deserved it? I deserved it. Wow. Yeah, that’s great to hear. Why did I deserve it?
SPEAKER 26 :
Because you seem like a clown.
SPEAKER 23 :
OK, sir, you shouldn’t have said that. Oh, you got him. He’s like pleased about it. That’s all you have. You should have said it on camera. But he did. So he stole your thunder. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of the third hour. That was Jim Banks, who is not playing. They got this. And it’s true. He’s a Republican senator. I. gosh, inject that into my veins. That was so satisfying. You know how satisfying it was to watch that video? It’s like the same feeling that you get when you have a Swiffer and you’re like Swiffing your floor and then you find a spot in your kitchen where the Swiffer perfectly fits horizontally and it’s like Tetris and you’re like, Oh, is that weird? Cause that’s what I feel like satisfied in that way. Anyway, welcome to the show. So the, uh, Fired HHS worker apparently had no problem going to, you know, down, going to Capitol. And, you know, yeah, that’s what happens when government gets too big. You downsize. And it’s almost like these people didn’t pay attention. Voters voted for this. Voters are overburdened and overtaxed. And it is unfair to attack voters and demand that they keep subsidizing large government just because it’s more advantageous for you. That’s unfair. What about the poor overtaxed taxpayer? After we just saw all of our money, what it was being used for. After we realized that they were giving out Social Security money to who knows who, everybody. And then people actually want to hold the argument that they deserve to have government to be this monstrous size that it is. Have pity for the taxpayer. You’re not the priority here. The taxpayer is. So that was he made that the elevator closing with his face right there. He made that his avatar on X and it’s hysterical. They’re like, wow, that was so mean. Well, no, it’s not. It’s mean to demand that other people keep subsidizing your life. That’s mean it’s glorified welfare. Oh, people can get mad at me for thinking it, but it doesn’t make it any less true. It’s not even constitutional. The government should not even be involved in health care like this. Anything that is not specified in Article 1, Section 8 is relegated to the states. But that’s not what’s happening here. So, no. I mean, people knew that this was coming. They knew that everyone was going to go. When are the elections held? What month, Kane, are elections held? November. November, right. And everyone knew that last year was going to be a big one, right, Cain? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they did. And Trump promised he was going to reduce the size and scope of government, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
He ran on that.
SPEAKER 23 :
That’s right. He ran on it. And Elon Musk was helping him campaign and said, yes, I’m going to help, right? Yeah. So it’s not like people didn’t see this coming.
SPEAKER 15 :
And then America voted in big numbers. Yeah.
SPEAKER 23 :
And then we got the election results. Did people think that something was going to change? No. So don’t act shocked. There is this, it’s mostly from the left, but there are some people kind of in the middle that are, and I guess they don’t view government jobs the way that we do. We are a super small government. When I say I am super small government, I’m not going to get into it. It’ll terrify you. A good government should only be like two levels above anarchy. Maybe two. Maybe not even that. I’m just saying. Maybe and level. A level. But that being said, this idea that you’re owed something. This entitlement. Something I’m seeing come up on the left in a number of ways. That’s part of this is a problem of a coalition. And a coalition’s got to learn how to manage it. As long as we agree on certain principles like leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone. We all leave each other alone. Don’t touch my guns. I’ll leave my money alone, right? That’s kind of it, right, Cain? That’s pretty much it. That’s a platform. I’m never going to run for elected office because I hate everything too much. And that would be my platform, though. Here are my positions. Leave me alone. I’m going to leave you alone. We’re all going to leave each other alone. Leave my guns alone. Leave my money alone. That’s it. That’s my platform. But what about my pet issue? Shut up. Leave me alone. See, right here, it says it. I’m leaving you alone. You’re leaving me alone. Gotta say, just wild. I, um… think that this thing on the right, and that’s a coalition. A coalition, we’ll have to get that figured out. But now is the time not to figure it out. And this is, I think, why a lot of people are a little aggravated. We’re talking about some of the Republican stuff because the coalition, we got to achieve that 80% first before we start arguing over that 20%. That’s, you know, one of the things that we’ve got to do. We’ve got to get that figured out. I want to play a couple of other soundbites for you. A total change of gear here.
SPEAKER 1 :
25.
SPEAKER 23 :
It’s the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and he was asked on what he places the blame for violent crime in the UK. Listen.
SPEAKER 02 :
We work together, and what can we do as a society to stop and prevent young boys being dragged into this whirlpool? of hatred and misogyny. And it is young boys predominantly in this particular instance. But also how can we protect young girls that are at risk? Because obviously that’s a very strong feature of the documentary, the drama. And that again, as I say, my boy is 16, my girl is 14. So I’m seeing this very much through both sets of eyes. And that’s why I think it hits hard.
SPEAKER 23 :
Maybe, I don’t know, protect some of the girls from being trafficked on Rotherham like they were. Maybe that’s an idea. But he says that they got to stop. They have to prevent young boys from being dragged into hatred and into misogyny. What does it even mean? Is he talking about… Like the British protesters who want to kind of get a control on immigration? What does that have to do with misogyny? I think it’s pretty much the irony of him saying that when you had actual misogyny unfolding in not one but two towns in Britain where young girls were trafficked by Pakistani men. And you want to talk about misogyny? What misogyny? led to no one helping those girls. And they were all Keir Starmer’s age. Everybody knew about it. Everybody in all the highest levels of government knew. Their law enforcement over there knew. Everyone was aware. And they all looked the other way. If you want to have a discussion about misogyny, why doesn’t it begin there? Oh, because that would implicate him. He was one of the people that helped everybody look the other way. Keir Starmer was the guy. He was like actually there. One of the people there drawn attention away from it. He’s got a history with who he represented, etc. But If you’re going to talk about misogyny, why not there? Why not start and talk about it there? That seems, Cain, like a good spot to start at. How do you say this guy’s name? I don’t really pay attention to him, but his soundbite is so dumb. Audio Soundbite 24. Is it Eli or Ellie?
SPEAKER 15 :
I thought it was Ellie.
SPEAKER 23 :
It’s E-L-I-E. I don’t care. This dude. He was on The View and he said this. I can’t even deal.
SPEAKER 10 :
One of my premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional, right? Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country. Not everybody who lived here could vote here. So why should I give about some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s? We can leave.
SPEAKER 23 :
I feel like that ramen noodle guy. Well, it says that right here. Mr. Cuomo. I mean, you can go. That’s just a dumb take. And I don’t even want to know what he wrote a book on. But who cares about what laws the old, you mean the laws that old white men, including the Emancipation Proclamation? That too? That one also? Yeah. The one about women voting? That too? I mean, I… In this country, minority males had the right to vote before women. You don’t hear us saying this stuff. Just wanted to point that out. That’s a fact. So if you want to have a discussion as to who’s been more oppressed, I think we’re going to win that fallacy measuring contest, at least on that particular issue. But… The, all of the, I just, and it was on The View. I don’t watch The View. And I, you know, the, I guess that includes, you know, the Civil Rights Act. Who signed the Civil Rights Act? That was in 64. So he talks about, that was LBJ. And we had the Social Security Act. Oh my goodness. I don’t think that he’s very well plugged in but this is what we’re up against i also want to play one more soundbite touch on this one last because i thought this was a good soundbite from marjorie taylor green where she gets into the house fight listen to this 21
SPEAKER 24 :
And I think that’s a really important point to make. And if any member of Congress, for any reason whatsoever, finds them in a situation where they’re not able to do the job here, the important job we’re elected to do, they should step down because someone else can serve in their place. They’re not required to be here. They’re not more important than anyone. They’re not more important than people in their district. And they shouldn’t go across the aisle and work with Democrats while Democrats use a baby
SPEAKER 23 :
propped up around the floor trying to prove their point but instead they’re holding a baby proving the point you can be a mother um and serving true you can be and of course that’s that one democrat i mean when you’re working with a democrat in order to try to like get one over on republicans you need to question what party in which party’s interest you’re acting in i think that’s a big and that was a good soundbite from marjorie taylor green and yes they do the house provides they have on-site daycare So why didn’t that – she’s just bringing her baby around everywhere, which – going further, if that one Democrat lady is bringing her baby around everywhere, then she can bring her baby around everywhere. What are they complaining about? That’s what I want to know. I may have even more questions now.
SPEAKER 15 :
Why is this an issue like all of a sudden?
SPEAKER 23 :
I want to jump off my roof because it’s so stupid. If you it’s you can’t scream about equality and then demand that you get a special accommodation because vagina. Quit. Just stop. That’s progressive.
SPEAKER 09 :
Subscribe to the Dana Show podcast because who says you can’t make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time? Subscribe on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get your podcast.
SPEAKER 16 :
I yield for a question while retaining the floor and I thank you for being here. I thank you for being here. Thank you. Senator Booker, I always knew you were a towering intellect and a phenomenal and passionate speaker and advocate, but I did not know your stamina until today.
SPEAKER 23 :
Get a room. You too. That’s Cory Booker and Adam Schiff for brains. Schiff is his name. that were fawning all over each other on the floor. So gross. Golly, welcome back to the program. Also, wait, no, we got this too. I got it. I had to hear it. So do you. I’ll hear somebody too. Sorry. Sorry in advance.
SPEAKER 03 :
I want to go a little bit past this and then I’m going to, I’m going to deal with some of the biological urgencies I’m feeling.
SPEAKER 23 :
What was the purpose of him doing this? Just a stunt?
SPEAKER 15 :
There was nothing accomplished from his filibuster. Yeah, he didn’t do anything.
SPEAKER 23 :
He just got up there and had to go to the bathroom real bad. It’s only accomplished.
SPEAKER 15 :
He’s like me when those movies are like two hours long. I’m like, dang it. I wish I could hold it during the whole day.
SPEAKER 23 :
That’s another reason I could never go And be in elected office. Because you’ve got to wait for all those people. It’s like being in a classroom of preschoolers. You’ve got to wait for all these people. You know? They’ve got to get up. This person’s got to get up. They’ve got to get up and talk. I don’t care about any of these people’s opinions. I am not open to persuasion. When I go in there, my mind’s made up. That’s it. That ship has sailed. That door’s not opening. It’s done. The concrete’s dry. It’s done. There’s, like, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So… I don’t know. Do they actually? I don’t think they. I don’t know. Maybe they do convince each other when they’re in there. But I just couldn’t deal with them all day long. These people that preen self-importance couldn’t do it. But he’s a towering intellect. I got to kind of just come back to that for a minute.
SPEAKER 15 :
It was April Fool’s Day yesterday. You know what, Cain? You are right.
SPEAKER 23 :
I didn’t pull any tricks because I’m not allowed.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, you ruined that for a lot of people.
SPEAKER 23 :
I did not ruin it for any… Where is this coming from?
SPEAKER 15 :
You ruined it.
SPEAKER 23 :
That was Orson Welles who did that, sir.
SPEAKER 15 :
The station that we work for in St. Louis. Shut up. You ruined it. I don’t recall this. I mean, you wouldn’t tell people the truth about it. I don’t recall. I mean, it’s what we should do.
SPEAKER 23 :
I don’t recall ruining anything.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, let’s just suffice it to say the manager of the station had to put out a station-wide memo. It wasn’t just to one or two people. This memo was station-wide. I remember this. that we cannot do any April Fool’s prank.
SPEAKER 23 :
Are you sure it was me and it wasn’t somebody else?
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m pretty sure it was you.
SPEAKER 23 :
You’ll have to remind me off air because I literally don’t even remember.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, there were several incidents. I think what ended up happening was every year, it was like the third year that this craziness was happening, and then they’re like, you know what? Station-wide memo.
SPEAKER 23 :
Station-wide memo. Yeah, I do remember being told, pulled into the office and told no.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, even some of the details escape me now because it was such a long time ago, but yeah, it was you.
SPEAKER 23 :
Lorraine said that Cory Booker didn’t eat since last Friday and he hadn’t drank anything starting the night before his speech. I bet he had a headache.
SPEAKER 15 :
It still doesn’t. You’re still going to need.
SPEAKER 23 :
He’s like that guy that stood outside and didn’t eat anything. And then he sat down and they were wiping his back off like he was Elvis or he was James Brown. You know, like James Brown had people come in like ballots come in to help him. It’s like that. I don’t know. Maybe it feels like that’s what he was doing. What was I don’t understand the point of it. He just went up there to yap and then they didn’t accomplish anything. But it did allow the Republicans to spear themselves on another dumb fight. So good job there. When Marjorie I don’t dislike Marjorie Taylor Greene. Sometimes she’s you know, she might be too brawly for certain people, but I’d like her. But when she’s out there like being the voice of reason for the party. You should shut up then. Like, stop. All right. Cain, today in stupidity. All right.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s Ellie Mistal. We had played some of his audio last segment. Juan, this is cut 28. He’s apparently for gang members of foreign countries. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 10 :
Look at that. nation about their status and just to slightly push back on mark yeah even if you tell me and you prove that they’re gang members i’m not so sure that i’m okay with them being sent off to be tortured in a foreign country but i’ll leave that aside you have violent gang members here we’re sending them off to be tortured yeah they’re getting tortured is it just you know consequences of their own actions yeah which is their gang members but you know whatever
SPEAKER 23 :
Folks, that does it for us today. Oh, and make sure you find us on Facebook, YouTube, Substack, Chapter and Verse. Go sign up. Lots of good stuff that comes out there on the reg. Have a great night. I’ll be back with you tomorrow.
