Explore the current dynamics within the Federal Reserve as a governor faces serious fraud allegations. This episode explores the power struggles within high governmental echelons alongside a controversial investment by the US government in Intel. Is this strategic maneuver safeguarding national security, or does it spell governmental overreach in the private sector? With fiery debates on how these actions echo socialist tendencies and termed by some as akin to the likes of Amtrak, our hosts dissect the implications of such shifts and more.

SPEAKER 21 :
We stopped three wars, go to Africa. They like to say, oh, you know, I love black people. And I did great with the vote with the black people. But they say, he’s a racist. He’s a racist. I said, really? For 35 years, a war raged between Rwanda and the Republic of the Congo. And it was a vicious war. Nine million people were killed with machetes, largely. Hatchets and machetes. That went on for 30, more than 30 years, but 34, 35 years. And I stopped it. In fact, the presidents are coming in a week or two to sign. We have the foreign ministers. It’s all signed. The war stopped. But I got it stopped and saved a lot of lives. The Congo, that’s deep into deepest, darkest Africa. I got that war stopped. Nobody else could have done that.
SPEAKER 17 :
I just think it’s funny. At first, I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. But I just thought it was funny to hear him say what he was saying. Welcome to the program, this POTUS. POTUS. I love black people too. I mean, who doesn’t? And I just thought it was funny. But he’s talking about, I do think it’s interesting. He was saying that, touching on the, of course, it’s the People’s Republic of Congo. And if you remember the… And I was trying to think of the name of the mine. It is the mine that’s in DRC, Democratic Republic of Congo, that Hunter Biden, through Seneca Rosemont, who facilitated the acquisition of that mine in Congo for China. And you guys remember that because we talked about it. And that was one of the things that was under investigation. You guys remember all of that when he got into trouble with the IRS, Hunter Biden, and then got his wrist slapped for nothing. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of the first hour of and gonna get you set up with a bunch of stuff. And then of course, later on today, Helldivers, which most of you have no idea what that is or care about it, is what I’m gonna be doing all night tonight, Kane, so don’t expect me to be responsible professional lady, because I’m not doing any, I’m gonna turn into a 13-year-old boy, and I’m gonna be on that new game, which hits Xbox early, the early hours this morning. All right, so first and foremost, where to start? Because POTUS is doing that, pushing back on the cashless bail, which is a very good idea. But then we have a couple of uncomfortable things that we got to talk about as it pertains to POTUS and some of these policies, especially with Intel. We’re going to get into some of that. That equity stake in Intel makes a little some of us nervous. We’re also going to get into the Democrats revoking. Some of them want to revoke endorsement over Omar Fatah. they’re at war with each other. It’s been most illuminating. And then, of course, POTUS fired that Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations. By the way, who tells the Federal Reserve what to do? Do we? Do we, though? Really? Do we? Do you believe that? Do you feel in charge? I just asked that because, you know, I I don’t know. It’s… I got questions. So he had fired this Lisa Cook yesterday. Yeah, yesterday. Over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud. She’s literally… She’s with the Federal Reserve. Makes you a little nervous when you got people like that in those kind of positions, does it not? And you’re sort of wondering as to their… Well, I don’t know. They’re above boredness, for the lack of a better way to put it. So that that that that’s a but she said she’s a she’s a governor of Federal Reserve. And she says that, no, she’s not. She doesn’t. I think there’s going to be a fight. I don’t think that it’s going to be something. I don’t think she’s going to go quietly into this into that dark night. Do you, Kane? It doesn’t look that way. Doesn’t look that way. CNBC reported on it first. I mean, and this all happened pretty quickly yesterday. It was like soon after we were off air. He posted it on his platform, Truth Social, and I think it was on at X, relieved Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook of her position and said that. He wrote that Congress curbed presidential authority to unilaterally fire a federal governor, blah, blah, blah. But he’s also was trying to add some historical context to it as well, because there’s a criminal referral that accuses her of literal mortgage fraud. And CNBC, they published the story on it and they they published a story and they’re like, yeah, well, OK, so it looks like it’s true. But there’s no but to this. Yeah. Thanks, media. I mean, they could Trump could be like, well, I went back in time and killed baby Hitler and media would be like, wow, he’s so mean he kills babies. That would be our media. You know, it’s true. I know it’s an absurd comparison, but it’s to highlight how absurd their partisanship is. That’s that’s the big thing. So. I don’t think she’s going to go easily. Just saying, because I was reading this story. Where’s what did I read this? OK, well, this is is this Washington Post that I read this at? No, no, no, no. Yeah, it was. So she her her spokesperson said, quote, President Trump purported to fire me for cause when no cause exists under the law and he has no authority to do so. Sounds. Yeah. But see, that’s the thing he do, though. Does he have the authority? He do. So there is going to be a fight unnecessarily. Why do these people do this when they know ultimately it’s not going to go in their favor? That’s the thing. So he’s taking her out. There is going to be a fight over it. We’ll see how that goes. In the meantime… So the and we’re going to get into the the more of that. The Intel stake, a lot of discussions about this. U.S. government took a 10 percent stake in Intel. And there’s a lot of concerns about the government flexing into the private sector. Commerce Secretary Howard, Commerce Secretary. We’re going to run all the words together today to save time. Howard Letnick said that the government has this 10 percent stake. There’s and of course, POTUS is going to meet with the CEO of Intel today. SoftBank is going to make a $2 billion investment in the chip maker. Now, there’s a couple of ways to look at this. I mean, you could look at it like, well, maybe it’s a NatSec issue. And we got to make sure, you know, we have the ability for these chips, etc. And I totally understand that. I get it. Because I’ve seen that argument ad nauseum all over social media in the past, like, you know, 12 hours. I get it. 24. However, the government really doesn’t need to be owning a stake in any kind of private business. And someone was saying, well, what about a sovereign wealth fund? Sovereign wealth fund is something that third world nations do. And do you honestly believe that a government that spent us into oblivion is going to be the same government that can handle our investments? Really? I mean, that’s what that is. Cain, correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s exactly what it is. So I’m like, yeah, I don’t think so. So I get we’re all a little nervous. We’re all a little nervous about this. It’s a little bit or a little bit nervous. So they’ve signaled that it’s something that they are considering perhaps going further on. And if it sounds very Bernie Sanders-esque, it’s because it is. I think it was Reason that said that they’re trying to turn Intel into the chip-making equivalent of Amtrak. Well, government. Whenever the government gets involved in something, it makes me a little nervous. See, that’s the other thing. I don’t want the government to be involved in private businesses. What does the government run that’s truly served you?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, this is a really nuanced conversation because in reality, it’s just like the government purchasing an equity position in a company like a bunch of stocks. And then the government, instead of it being a grant, which it was mostly from the CHIPS Act, And being flushed down the toilet as a grant, it became an equity position for the American people where the grant money isn’t lost and they have an opportunity to make money and go back into the Treasury as an equity. Now, I understand that side, too.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s why I’m asking Carol Roth to come on tomorrow so we can have a really deep dive into that.
SPEAKER 17 :
We’ve got to have a real serious conversation about this. I just, I get nervous and I also don’t, I don’t think that the government can successfully operate anything. I don’t think it successfully runs anything. Yeah. Is it though? That’s the question. Is it going to stop there? Because already there’s been indications that they want to go further. And that’s what we’re all nervous about. And by nervous, I mean we’re not freaking out yet, but we’re stepping closer. We’re queuing up, as it were. Also on deck, a couple other things. Where is this at? We got the Intel thing. We had the funeral. There’s something else that I had that was going to get right into this segment with you. And I think this had to do with, oh, the Cracker Barrel stuff. Okay, so Trump got involved in the Cracker Barrel stuff. He posted… I think it was to his – well, it was also reposted on X. He says, quote, Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response, the ultimate pull, and manage the company better than ever before. They got a billion dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right. Very tricky to do but a great opportunity. Have a major news conference today. Make Cracker Barrel a winner again. Remember, in just a short period of time, I made the United States of America the hottest country anywhere in the world. One year ago, it was dead. Good luck. They do need to do something to it.
SPEAKER 14 :
The statement we saw yesterday from them about, oh, you know, hindsight, that’s a PR move to help the stock and the stockholders.
SPEAKER 17 :
Can I say something that’s probably going to be considered controversial to the drive-bys who read with pictures? Is it really that it’s woke or is it just that it sucks? It sucks. Because I don’t necessarily think that the move was woke. I just think it’s like that horrible modern aesthetic that I see like so many of these companies do. Because even the way that they arrange the stuff on the wall, I’ve never really viewed it as being woke. I just viewed it as, oh my gosh, another one decided that they were going to redo their interior and look like a hospital waiting room or something. That was the thing that stuck out to me, that got me with it. So I don’t know. I mean, it’s… Is it woke, though? That’s the million-dollar question. So coming up, this is some of the other stuff that we have on deck to dive into today. We’re going to actually – coming up, we’re going to be speaking to Florida AG James Uthmeyer on – I still can’t believe people – I told you yesterday – there’s almost 3 million people that signed a petition. They want the judge in the case of that illegal immigrant semi truck driver who got a CDL in two different states, Washington and California. They all signed this petition. They want the judge to be lenient. This guy killed three people because he could not read the signs because he can’t speak English. He can’t even talk to anybody. He had no idea what he was doing. Killed three people with the semi. And three million people have signed this petition, almost three million, for leniency in his case. So we’re going to talk to the Florida AG about that. We’re also going to get into who on earth they said they’re going to get back to being tacky, apparently make tacky great again. I don’t know. I got this article to share with you. Very interesting. We got some of the latest with the EU because a Scottish girl apparently got ticketed because she brandished a machete and an axe. This foreigner was following her and recording her. She felt very uncomfortable. So they cited her because she had a blade. I want to get this girl a gun now. So we got that for you. And the great flag-burning explainer to SCOTUS rulings, Antonin Scalia, and explaining the Oliver Wendell Holmes dictum that is so ridiculously misrepresented. We’re going to get into all of that and more as we move the folks over at Relief Factor.

I mean, seriously, there’s sand probably everywhere on you out there. Let’s see here. So we’ve got this. A scientist solves the Bermuda Triangle theory or the mystery. Did they? So it’s located between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. It’s like this. I mean, I didn’t know that I was how often I’ve actually been in the triangle. But anyway, it’s kind of cool. But they said that they’ve kind of figured it out. There’s they had all of these, you know, the conspiracy theories. And it has to do with rogue atmospheric waves. And then what? walls of like storm waves and it’s basically where a bunch of currents and storm systems meet etc etc and they think that that’s the secret of it uh the winner of the power one of the latest powerball drawings is only going to take home a fraction of the 750 million dollar jackpot because taxation is theft and our government is the biggest panhandler in the history of mankind uh 10th largest powerball history uh and apparently the guy’s only going to get a fraction of that maybe 213 million out of 700 something that’s crazy Stick with us.

SPEAKER 09 :
Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red hat. What should I say today? I don’t know. Just make sure it’s cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy. Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him and that will be fine. Now he’s talking about burning flags. He’s going to have flag burning or whatever. Because he knows there’s a hell of a lot of flags with his picture on it that are going to get burned.
SPEAKER 17 :
That doesn’t even make any sense. He’s just, he’s one of the dumbest people I’ve ever heard speak. Welcome back to the program. That was Fudd, Tim Walls. Can I just start on the, he says, I’m looking at the transcript. Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear today? We don’t all wear red hats. You absolute loser. We all don’t wear red hats. I feel like I could verbally make him cry pretty easy. You ever meet some people and you’re like, oh, I just want to bully you. I mean, I shouldn’t say that out loud. He’s just not. I guess his thoughts on realigning the Democrat Party are to be meaner. Right. He yesterday we played audio of him saying me his fat ankles find something today. What does that mean? We played that, and I still don’t know what it means. I don’t know. But he is at the DNC summer meeting in Minneapolis, and that’s where they’re all coming together, and they’re all, you know, I don’t know what they think this is. He said that Republicans were fascist, that attacks on DEI and CRT were, quote, cruel. And then he goes, oh, you’re a dumb red hat. This is the guy who literally made camo hats, right? to try to sell himself as like a hunter and a gun-toting Democrat, if you guys remember. I mean, think about how easy it is to be Tim Walz. You wake up and you poorly load your shotgun because you don’t really know what you’re doing. And you wear a dumb camo hat. And what else? I don’t know. I don’t I don’t understand his appeal. And obviously, Democrats didn’t either because he just wasn’t well received on that front. So I guess they’re going out there. They’re supposed to be trying to solidify a message going into midterms with the summer meeting in Minneapolis. And it’s not happening. I think they’re focusing on all of this other stuff like this. He he’s just going off still this time. It’s if Harris was president. Save us.
SPEAKER 09 :
And I am proud of this state like so many others and I will have to tell you the privilege of my lifetime was stand beside someone we know was the most qualified and would have been a fantastic president in a President Harris. We wouldn’t wake up every day to a bunch of TV and a bunch of nonsense. We would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership doing the work. Not a man-child crying about whatever’s wrong with him.
SPEAKER 17 :
Can I just say also, I don’t even own a red hat. I own a black one. Make goth great again. But this, he’s saying, well, if Harris was president, you know, we wouldn’t wake up to a bunch of nonsense. What nonsense are you talking about? Because all I’m seeing, I see some things I disagree with, but I see a hell of a lot of wins, Cain. Hell of a lot of wins. Gotta say. Also, can we please just reject this idea that you… have to agree a thousand percent with anything the administration does. Otherwise, you’re not a real patriot because I am so sick of that brain dead stuff. Can I just talk really quickly about the flag burning thing that we mentioned yesterday? I get… I granted I do have a short temper, granted, and I’m very combative. And it’s not because I’m miserable. It’s because I enjoy it. I enjoy fighting. It brightens my soul. I hear the birds sing louder. I am. Now, I’m not intentionally mean. Can I feel like I’m a very nice person?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, absolutely.
SPEAKER 17 :
But I just have zero tolerance for stupidity. I mean, it’s a deficit of tolerance.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s the proper amount of tolerance for stupidity.
SPEAKER 17 :
I will not suffer a single fool. And I say this because I saw some really stupid arguments about some of this flag-burning stuff yesterday. And some goobers were trying to argue with me about it. I read the whole damn executive order. Oh, my gosh. People are like, did you even read the EO? I’m like, did you? Because clearly we’ve got some issues here. Let me tell you about this, executive. I have no idea why Trump even brought it up. I don’t know why he would even waste political capital on it. There are so many other wins here doing something like this. How long have we been arguing over flag burning? Jiminy Christmas, 30 years. We have two Supreme Court rulings. You have Texas v. Johnson and you have U.S. v. Eichmann. You have two Supreme Court rulings that get into free speech and flag burning. Noting that it has been constitutional, that it has been in a court of law by the Supreme Court upheld as a protected form of speech is not an endorsement of flag burning. That’s like saying I like waffles. Oh, my gosh. Why do you hate pancakes? You didn’t mention them because I’m not talking about pancakes, you Froot Loop. I’m talking about waffles. So this idea that you by pointing out that it’s been upheld in a court of law by SCOTUS two times and no less by Antonin Scalia also. who is the measure of conservatism, that is not an endorsement of flag burning. I don’t like flag burning. I think it’s I just, you know, obviously because of what it represents. However, I read this executive order and I think some people are trying to walk it back. And in terms of trying to explain it, which isn’t going to fly. And here’s why I say that there was one part. And if you get the newsletter, I sent this out to you last night. And we talked about it in depth because I wanted people to understand legitimately what the concern was. So the part of the executive order that stood out to me was in, I think it was like the third graph when they were talking specifically about fighting words. And in the executive order, it had said, quote, notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s rulings on First Amendment protections, the court has never held that the American flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to, quote, unquote, fighting words is constitutionally protected, although they did. They’re trying to say a 5-4 vote meant that it was too close, etc., I would tell you that even though we have, yes, we do have a more conservative-leaning Supreme Court, but they are also very, very constitutionalist. They don’t believe in the living Constitution because in order to believe in the living Constitution, you have to think that our rights are anachronistic and that things are predicated upon the time in which they were introduced. And that’s just simply false because those rights transcend time. The right of speech, the right of freedom, the right to defend oneself. This is something that transcends whatever scope and time it was introduced. originally introduced and so that’s the thing that gets me because people were saying well they’re just talking about you know being able to enforce the law well that’s sorry but that doesn’t fly because then you already have those laws in the books it’s redundant and it’s a stunt for nothing and that doesn’t make any sense what they’re trying to do is they want to explore the limitations of, quote unquote, fighting words. And here’s the problem that I have with it. By looking at fighting words and considering the redefinition of it, what they’re doing is they’re talking about redefining what fighting words are based on the content of the expression, which is expressly against the First Amendment. And that is something that has been explored in two Supreme Court cases, and it’s been elaborated on extensively by late Justice Scalia. Scalia had said, quote, if it were up to me, I would put in jail every sandal-wearing, scruffy-bearded weirdo who burns the American flag. But I am not king. And he actually was one of the deciding votes in support of protecting it as freedom of expression, not just in that, but he also authored the majority opinion in the other case. And that was in 89. He was the fifth in deciding vote, the 5-4 with Texas v. Johnson. Now, here’s the thing that I need people to understand. There is a difference between actions that may inspire riots and violence and actions that expressly call for riots and violence. And this is why I think of all people, Republicans should be very sensitive to this difference. And the reason I say that is because Trump was falsely accused of inciting the January 6th riots. We carry that live on air. I was sitting right here. I heard every word in my monitor. I was watching it on the screen. And I had the mic in front of my face. And he at no point called for violence. The reason that I bring this up is because whether somebody’s action that hurts your feelings… is not enough for it to be considered unprotected speech. Trump having a rally and he expressly told people to be peaceful and go the hell home, he wasn’t inciting it. So you would also have to be, in order to be consistent, believe that him simply engaging in an expression that pisses people off is enough to believe that that action is no longer protected speech. When you start enforcing selective speech, content. When you start selective content enforcement, you are judging the expression in the context of the content that it is exercising, and that is expressly against the First Amendment. That is what we are talking about in this case. It has nothing to do with anything else, but the very paragraph in the EO says, that says they’re looking at fighting words and whether or not that is going to be a redefinition. That is what we’re talking about when we talk about concerns as it relates to First Amendment protections, right? Now, as for the comparisons to these other cases where people were jailed for burning or otherwise damaging the trans, the pride, the BLM stuff, uh the those cases and i went and looked at every single one of the cases that i could find now i have an asterisk right there i’m going to come back to it in every single one of these cases the property that was destroyed was taken from another person whether it was at a rally or a riot or whatever and the charge that came into effect was theft of personal property Now, I agree that I think that the penalties were stupidly punitive for the purpose of politics. However, the difference is that that was a piece of private property. And we’re not Marxists, correct? We believe in private property. But that was the case of someone taking someone else’s private property. No matter how fruity it was, somebody took somebody else’s private property. And that’s how that charge came in. Now, the asterisk that I mentioned, this is the one I don’t understand. The cases as it relates to the crosswalks on the road that are painted. I mean, it’s a damn street. They went after kids on scooters because they said they vandalized some pride crosswalk. Tires go on the asphalt, lunchboxes, okay? If you don’t want people driving on it, then don’t put it on the asphalt. It’s very simple. And I think those cases involving painting on it, I think those are idiotic and stupid. But the government cannot use whether or not speech or expression will make people mad as the measure for whether or not it is free speech. That is specifically what that mention of fighting words in the executive order is targeting. That is what people are replying to. And it is not an endorsement for some of these dip wads out there that are like, it’s not an endorsement of flag burning. Keep in mind, guys, we just went through eight years or well, four years where they were shutting down our voices online because they did not consider our free speech, free speech. So, hell yes, you should be sensitive about this. So our First Amendment is the hedge of protection against that. Now, what I don’t understand is that Trump has just scored a ton of wins. I am very confused as to why he’s wasting any political capital on this right now. And some people are like, yeah, well, Dana, it’s just all the left is going to go out there and burn flags. That’s what I think that that’s a stupid stunt if that’s a goal. And I don’t think that that’s the goal. I mean, hell, you don’t need to invite people to burn flags. All you got to do is just show them burning neighborhoods for four plus years, because I’m going to tell you something. If people don’t care about all the left is burning down neighborhoods for three damn summers straight, they’re not going to give a rat’s ass about burning a flag now. OK, so let’s be smart about this, about how we approach this. I just think that there’s better things to spend political capital on. And I think if you’re going to lay a trap, lay a better trap because this ain’t it. So that’s what we’re talking about to be very, very specific about it. I could get into some of these other cases. All I know is that if it goes further and it goes to court, it will not be upheld in a court of law. There’s no way in hell this gets through a court of law. That’s more tax dollars that we’re going to be paying to litigate it and to defend it. So that’s a problem. I don’t know why we’re wasting the time or political capital on this. And you know what? It is okay to say that stuff. By God, you’re an American. You don’t have to cement every damn thing a politician does. You do not have to rubber stamp it. It is in your DNA to ask questions and to demand the best. And you forfeit your freedom when you refuse to do it over anything else for any other reason. You have every right to ask questions. And by God, you don’t have to agree with people on everything. You don’t agree with your people and your family on everything. Does it mean you hate your family? No. And all the losers out there, a bunch of grifting fat asses who sit here and try to emotionally blackmail people into thinking that they’re traitors. If they make one disagreement, sit your fat asses down because we sure did not see you out there when we needed you when we were doing the heavy lifting. And we don’t need you now. Anybody has a problem with that, you can send an email to kissmyass.com. And if you’ve got a problem with my language, go watch a church lady because I babysit your kids and I ain’t here to be a shepherd at this moment.

Really quickly, Abby, because any time that we play something from Stephen Miller, it would be journalistic integrity to point out that he is a white supremacist and he is the brainchild behind this policy. That’s not my opinion. That’s actual facts. And for him to purport lies from the Oval Office as a white supremacist, it should be pointed out.

SPEAKER 22 :
voters care about. Where does Trump go? Migrant crime, carjackings, the really lurid, awful stuff that is a crazy, crazy visual. Don’t take the bait, cuz most Americans are more worried about how we can address mental health issues, the visible homelessness that we see on streets. And how do we deal with mental health and other issues that drive- How many times are you gonna say that? Random incidents that scare all of us. That’s what you should be talking about. That’s where you should be focused.
SPEAKER 17 :

First off, greetings and salutations. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this second hour. This broad. It’s like people aren’t talking about that. You know what people want to talk about? People want to talk about mental health and also like mental health things and mental health. And health that’s mental. That’s what they want to talk about. While pointing at everybody. I can’t stand that. No one’s interested in carjackings and crimes from illegal. Yeah, yeah. You don’t get to speak for us, broad. We are all interested in these things. This is what we talk about on the reg. We’re all interested in it. They’re having their little DNC work sesh. Where is this at? Minneapolis? We’ll talk more about that a bit. I can’t… It’s just a trove of bad ideas, y’all. A trove of bad ideas. By the way, if you’re joining us, you can watch us do the radio show if you’re listening across the country, Channel 347. You get to see my awesome new bangs. And thank you, chat, for being so nice. I love the chats at Rumble. Be nice to them or they’ll eat your soul. And we’ve got… Oh, X. We’re at X. And where the hell else are we? We’re just where the Webernets are, you know. Everywhere. We’re everywhere. So… that’s a bit can i i gotta talk about this story i’m one i’m really sorry because i wasn’t gonna have it in this hour but i’m doing it it’s the uh they what do they call her blade uh i think they called it all to call her about a good junior honestly uh but it’s a blade threat girl 14 years old so let me set this up i don’t know if you’ve seen this video or not but it was in dundee And the cops were called to St. Anne Lane, Kane. It’s the Locky area of Dundee. And it was on a Saturday evening, 7.30, right? Somebody called the police and they said, oh my gosh, there’s a girl who’s got a bladed weapon. And they said it was a 14-year-old. She was charged in connection. Now, here’s where we got a lot of questions. I’m like, wait a minute. Someone was recording her. And the area that she was in is where a guy was murdered in a knife attack just like a few months back, like literally the street right behind her. And some people were like, oh, well, she should have had a knife, etc. I want to know who the foreigner was who was recording her. So an adult male was recording her and wouldn’t leave them alone. And she it didn’t I mean, we don’t have anything in the lead up to this. It didn’t seem like she was bothering anybody. I am less concerned. I mean, I if she was my daughter, hell, I’d give her a gun at this point. Proud of her because she stood up for herself. She has these adults, this adult man, a strange man following her in a park and filming her in an area where there have been attacks from illegal immigrants on younger people. Okay. And I don’t think she’s brand. I mean, in the video, it just looks like she was carrying it. I necessarily don’t think that that’s brandishing because she had them in her pants. And I apparently some people were saying that they were they were carrying them because they were protecting themselves. And everything that I’ve seen, I just can’t believe she was charged. And I want to know why there was this grown man filming her. So the thought, and I was looking at a lot of the press about this, they… They were saying that she was trying to protect herself because she felt that this guy was trying to harm her, is what the story was. I mean, the Scottish Sun wrote about it, etc. The problem is that she was being harassed on the street by what sounds like an adult foreign male, and she did not produce the blade, according to their account, until he started unrelentingly harassing her. Now, That’s that’s the story. And so she gets charged in the adult male harassing the minor doesn’t. This is how you get conquered. I mean, why is it that a 14 year old girl has to do more than a lot of the men in that damn country to stand up for the women and girls pushing back? That’s my question. I’m going to tell you what, this is my country and I had people, I mean, you see it in Rotherham and in parts of Britain, Telfer, there are different areas in the UK where young females have been systematically targeted, exploited and trafficked. I mean, this has been going on for 20 years and we’re not talking about like five or 10. You’re talking, you’re getting into the thousands. That’s how bad this is. This is not a joke. It’s not an exaggeration. This is literally what, this is what is happening. And now it’s, it’s a, it’s imperiled. A lot of these, the Roth, the Rotherham abuse, the background to it. It’s the whole child sexploitation scandal. Uh, and, uh, I mean, there’s they had over the Guardian said it was over 1400 young girls. But other news entities say it’s higher than that. The trafficking and the sexploitation. And it’s all Pakistani grooming gangs. I mean, without exception. I think that the lawmakers, the British lawmakers and politicians who didn’t do anything because they were more terrified of being called racist than they were protecting the girls. I think they’re culpable in all of this. But they said that it had ever. I mean, it was taxi drivers. It was everyone. One girl who was telling her story to the Telegraph. She was 11 years old. And she was stalked and harassed by Pakistani grooming gang. They said her story is not unique. She is one of over 1,400 children who were sexually exploited by gangs. And this is the Telegraph. I want to point out the Telegraph is a very left-leaning paper. They were exploited by gangs of predominantly Pakistani origin men in Rotherham from 1997 to 2013 until a report finally revealed the scale of abuse. They had the National Crime Agency investigation. They identified over 300 suspects. Taxi drivers who were really involved in trafficking the victims have come under scrutiny. They had over 25 taxi drivers who had their licenses pulled because of it. There were hundreds of other taxi drivers, many of them Pakistani, that were going to protest because they didn’t want to have to install CCTV into their cabs to keep kids safe, to keep women safe. This has been happening so bad. The people didn’t do anything. The school failed her. The law enforcement failed her. All of this. And they get these girls. They get them in compromising situations, use it against them. And then they get them addicted to cocaine and amphetamines. And then they rape them. And then they sell them off to get raped by all these other men. And this one woman’s story is apparently the story of thousands of girls, over a thousand girls. So now you understand why it’s not unusual for a young female in the UK to be very uneasy with the fact that a grown foreign male is following her and harassing her and recording her to the point where she feels the need to present a small hatchet. And I’m going to tell you something, if this had been in the United States and someone was aggravating my daughter, that person would be going back in a body bag to their family. The UK allowed itself to be raped into submission. It is the rape of the UK. It is the rape of Europe. It is a conquering. Absolutely. Absolutely. And people were outraged, not even making this up. We’ve told you these stories that there would be at all any punishment of the people who were doing this. Do you know that one of the defenses was, oh, they just didn’t know. Their customs are different. I kid you not. Nobody said anything because everybody is so afraid to be called bigoted or racist. Even if you’re saying, look, the gangs of people doing this are literally 99% this origin. It’s bigoted to what they are doing to young girls. That’s bigoted. It’s not bigoted to accurately observe and call out this group’s crimes. But people didn’t want to speak up because they were more terrified at being accused of the moral failing that is bigotry or racism than they were protecting their innocent daughters. And this girl had more balls than any of them to stand up to it. So I say she’s a little Boudicca. Lorraine reminds me of when Tommy Robinson was thrown in a British jail because he exposed this. They were trying to tell him that he couldn’t talk about the grooming gangs in Rotherham. And it extended beyond Rotherham, just so you know. It extended far beyond that and affected many different areas. It is it’s incredibly sad. It’s so incredibly sad. And so I’m looking at this, you know, this 14 year old girl. We saw the video. Do we have the video? I don’t know if we can play some of it because there’s cussing, but maybe we can just show it without the volume. Did he? OK, yeah. So she’s her friends with her and she’s yelled. They’re yelling at this grown foreign man to leave them alone, to stop following them. And he won’t. And he keeps trying to get near her. And it isn’t until he won’t leave her alone that she shows him, okay, I’ve got a knife and a hatchet. Leave me alone. She’s the one who gets cited. If I was that mother, I’d beat that cop’s ass. I would. Oh my gosh. It just enrages me. No one’s protecting them. Where’s anybody protecting these girls? Where are the men over there? Good heavens. Have some self-respect. Of course, you know, I got to tell you, doesn’t help the third and fourth wave feminism. You know, a lot of people don’t want to step up and help because y’all remember what happened to Daniel Penny here in the United States. He stepped up and look what happened. New York went after him. Nobody wants to be the hero because heroes are in trouble. So they get in trouble. They’re looked at as, oh, you’re being a hero. You’re probably a vigilante or something. And the other girl that was with the 14-year-old that was targeted, she was 12. The 14-year-old was the one that was cited. The 12-year-old wasn’t cited. And now there’s a lot of protests over this, understandably so. People are protesting what happened. Why were they not out there protecting the streets? I read, I saw on X that now men in Scotland, in and around Dundee, are organizing to patrol the streets to keep it safe. I mean, it’s gotten so bad in the UK that they can’t even put up St. George’s Cross. They can put up Gazan flags, but they can’t put up the St. George’s Cross. I’m telling you, it’s a conquering. There are more than one ways to conquer a nation. You don’t have to use arms. You don’t even have to use violence. You can use manipulation and extortion. And that’s what this is. It’s a conquering. The people who help bring you the program, it’s the folks over at Patriot Mobile. Look, I’m just going to tell you like this. Do you want to spend less money on your cell phone bill? Yes or no? Yes.

They said it’s the first time they’re monitoring so far. It looks like it’s successful. I mean, basically part of you is made of bacon. Not bad. I’m just going to say. The USA, for some reason, didn’t make the top ten. Five of the world’s safest countries. It’s from the good old British… Oh, I almost said that out loud. Broadcasting Corporation. I think this is a lie. An absolute lie. They just don’t like… Iceland’s ranked number one. It’s because it’s cold there and everything’s made of ice and everyone stays inside. Ireland is supposed to be number two. Are you kidding me? Seriously, New Zealand, police state, but they do have Hobbiton there. Austria, Austria for real. The top 10 countries they said were Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore.
SPEAKER 14 :
Who made this list? You know who made this list?
SPEAKER 17 :
Demons. Demons made this list. That’s who it was. Let’s see. We’re going to talk about the Hooters Honchos rolling back skimpy shorts and says there’s not going to be butt cheeks hanging out. I don’t want to see feet or butt when I’m, like, getting any food. Just things that I just don’t need to see. I mean, if that’s your jam, that’s, you know, not hygienic. Let’s see. A bench for the blind community honoring Helen Keller in Stockton was stolen. Oh. Because people are horrible. This is in Sacramento. Please bring back the bench for the blind, please. It would be great. This is horrible. Oh, my gosh. Crews rescued two women in their 80s who got stuck and started cooking in a hot tub at their remote cabin. Oh, my gosh. This was in Wolf County in Kentucky. They got stuck in a hot tub in their 80s, and they had to get help to get out. Stick with us. James Othmeyer is coming up. AG Florida. We got more on the way as we roll the words headlines as we do. So the folks who bring you the program, it’s the people over at Bernegan. I’m telling you, you know, if you’ve got young adults that are. living on their own, maybe they’re going to college. They’re not old enough to carry a handgun, but they’re old enough to live by themselves and be targeted. You want to make sure that they’re able to defend themselves, especially if you’ve got municipal restrictions, private property, whatever. This is where the Burna gun comes in. Burna shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. There’s two versions, the SD, the most popular model. I prefer the CL because it’s more concealable. And it’s lighter, and you’re not losing any of the ability for target acquisition, any of that stuff. There’s no recoil with this at all whatsoever. And when you consider that stun guns only have one or two rounds, that Brenna CL, you got a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. Legal in all 50 states. There is no background check. There is no permit. There is no fee. And it can be shipped directly to your door. It doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. It is accessible to everyone. And I think it is incredibly smart to diversify what you use in terms of self-defense instruments. You have different calibers. You have different blades. You need and have an option when you are entirely disarmed. But you got to be a big kid and you still got to go there. So this is where Burna Gun comes in. Visit Burna.com slash Dana.

Horton Session. Horton Session.
SPEAKER 17 :
We’re watching the truck driver in Florida at his arraignment. He has no idea of the charges against him because he doesn’t understand English. He can’t even identify the road signs. Only one of the road signs he was actually able to identify. He’s the guy who is being charged for killing three people in a very deadly wreck. He was driving a semi, somehow got hit. A CDL from not one, but two states, California and Washington, goes to Florida and starts killing Floridians. Gavin Newsom is killing people. His policies are killing people. And believe it or not, there was a petition. We talked about this last hour drawn up where you have almost three million people who want some leniency for this guy. They thrive on the indulgence of society’s virtue signaling and understanding. That’s what this criminality does. Joining us now to discuss all of this is the Attorney General for the Sunshine State, James Uthmeyer, who joins us now via video. General, it’s good to have you. Boy, you have had a lot to deal with. I want to get your thoughts on this because in Florida, you have your standards for legal status and driver’s licenses and commercial driver’s licenses. You have an individual who’s not here legally who is somehow able to get two different CDLs from two different sanctuary states. And now three Floridians are dead as a result of this. And this is an example of how these policies and these governors in these states, they’re actively killing people in your state, General.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. Gavin Newsom’s love affair with illegal aliens is losing lives, not just in their sanctuary states, but in other states and communities across the country. We in Florida, we don’t allow illegal aliens to get any driver’s licenses, much less the heightened CDL licenses for driving large commercial vehicles. And we’re certainly going to fight back. We’re being very defensive. We’re now doing inspections at checkpoints coming into the state where truck drivers will be tested, where we need to know they speak English, where we’ll be able to figure out if they’re driving CDL licenses from other states, which is not permitted coming into Florida. But ultimately, this shows how dangerous the obama biden border policies have been for our entire country every community is a border community when you have you know these rights given impermissibly to illegal aliens enabling them to travel out of state and ultimately engage in reckless behavior so we’ve got to do more we’re going to go after and hold legally accountable These jurisdictions and agencies that acted with gross negligence to provide these licenses, they have a part to play. They have blood on their hands, too.
SPEAKER 17 :
And these companies that I would imagine that are hiring these individuals, I mean, you can’t tell me you have this guy, and we watched the video as we were getting ready to bring you on camera. You can’t tell me that the people who hired this guy did not know that he was incapable of speaking any English or reading road signs, which I think is kind of important when you’re driving a giant semi.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, if you can’t speak English, you certainly can’t take and pass the test to get these licenses. Because of the heightened responsibilities, because of the danger associated with driving such large vehicles, these tests are somewhat rigorous. The vetting that goes into these individuals, it’s supposed to be rigorous, but here they drop the ball. And I think they want to enable illegal aliens to take advantage of these types of opportunities. So I’m glad the federal government is cracking down. We hope that they will cut off the CDL programs in these sanctuary states where you see systematic abuse. We’ll pursue any legal remedy we can, and we will certainly do everything in our power to protect Florida citizens.
SPEAKER 17 :
And it’s wild to me that now you are having, because of the lawlessness of California and Washington, which are the two states where this individual in question got to CDLs, plural, you’re having to now implement a whole new layer of testing just so you can keep your Florida constituents safe on the highway. Because they’re assuming, oh, well, they’re driving a semi. They probably have their CDL. They’ve passed through whatever… tests, etc. And they’re trusting that. Well, you know, it turned out deadly in this last instance. Tell me a little bit about that, because I would I mean, that’s unfortunately, I know it’s another layer of I don’t want to say bureaucracy, but it’s another safeguard that you’re going to have to implement and do do more as a result of they’re not doing enough.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. I mean the reality is we don’t know how broad this danger is since we started a heightened crackdown checking on some of these drivers. Two nights ago we detained somebody in Bay County in the panhandle of Florida that was here illegally operating one of these licenses from New Jersey. Yesterday at the checkpoints in the first day of these heightened inspections we pulled over a couple illegal aliens that will be processed for deportation. So the reality is we don’t know yet how many illegal aliens are driving these large commercial vehicles on our roadways. So here in Florida, yes, we’re taking heightened action to combat this. I hope other states will follow suit. But at the end of the day, we’ve got to go crack down and nip it in the bud at these sanctuary states that gave out these licenses in the first place. Their actions are putting people at risk and ultimately killing people.
SPEAKER 17 :
That is terrifying that we actually don’t know because they just have not been honest and following existing law in terms of driver’s licenses and these commercial licenses. That’s a terrifying prospect. You have no idea. I mean, we we were just on a on a road trip taking a kid to school and and tons of semis on the highways. And now I’m wondering, OK, how many of these people can actually, you know, read the road signs? And, you know, what is that’s a terrifying prospect, General, because there are a lot of trucks on the road.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. I agree. I mean, it just shows you think, I mean, you see the human trafficking, you see the large fentanyl cartels, you see all these very heinous things that we’re pulling illegal aliens off the streets for committing. You don’t think necessarily at first about the dangers of the truck driving next to you. But if somebody can’t speak English, they’re not going to be able to read signs. They’re not going to be able to adhere to signs above freeways. They’re certainly not going to be able to engage with radio communications and things. It’s a major problem. Again, it takes a deep dive, but we’ve got to go nip it in the bud at these sanctuary states that have provided these grants in the first place. I hope the federal government will hold them accountable. We certainly look forward to helping them any way we can.
SPEAKER 17 :
For those just tuning in, if you’re listening across the country or watching us do the radio program, Channel 347, DirecTV, you’re talking to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer. Real quick, and then I wanted to ask you about some of the census stuff. This petition for that driver in this deadly crash, I’m trying to figure out how it is over two and a half million people, they just felt like they needed to sign a petition to ask for more leniency in this case where three people lost their lives. Your thoughts?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, well, I mean, maybe it’s not even real people. Some of these online petitions, they manipulate, they send out mass emails driving a population. I don’t know, you might even have a bunch of bots in India working on this for all we know. So I’m not going to give too much credit to that. It’s certainly not going to be a distraction. We are going to prosecute this individual here in Florida. People at home should know he’s not just getting deported. He will serve his time here. We will hold him accountable. For as long as necessary. And then we will turn him over to ICE for deportation.
SPEAKER 17 :
I like how you all sent your your Jay Collins, your LG out there to go and bring bring a culprit back to the state of Florida. I’ve never seen that before. You guys are serious out there.
SPEAKER 05 :
I wanted to ask you pretty hands on here. Yeah, we we take it seriously. We grab the bull by the horns.
SPEAKER 17 :
No one expects Florida to show up like that and come in and drag people back. I love it. You hit really hard at California Governor Gavin Newsom. You said in an August 21st post, they’re stealing Florida’s money, representation and electoral votes. including illegal aliens in electoral apportionment, dilutes the voting power of citizens. Because, I mean, all of this, I mean, you guys had a massive victory with some redistricting and also gaining additional seats. And you guys are fighting back. I mean, I think that’s a very good point that people don’t realize. A lot of people left California. and went to Florida, they should be adequately represented just as they would be anywhere else. I mean, we went to war over not being properly represented while still being taxed, General. So this, I wanted to kind of get your thoughts on the census and approaching that because POTUS called for a new one. You said you’re ready to work with it. Your thoughts?
SPEAKER 05 :
Sure, well here in Florida, we were robbed of a seat. I worked in the first Trump administration. I worked as a senior advisor for the commerce secretary who oversees the census. And the projections with Florida’s population growth, even pre-COVID, was that we were supposed to get two seats. Of course, the Biden administration comes in. They delay results. They do a lot of manipulation. The deep state’s always been working the census for political purposes. And oh, it pops out Florida only gets one seat. The Census Bureau then subsequently in an after action report admits an undercount in Florida of over 700,000 people, which would have certainly given us the other seat. Oh, and by the way, Rhode Island didn’t end up losing a seat. You can go figure out who the Commerce Secretary was that came in. So Florida had those separate problems, but more important than that, under the U.S. Constitution, illegal aliens do not have a constitutional right to vote and have a say in our democratic republic. But here, because of the way the electoral college works, The census, they count everybody, they count the illegals, and then states like California, sanctuary states, end up having a disproportionately high electoral power. This is wrong. The founders never would have tolerated this, and it’s improperly creating a balance that creates greater weight for Democrat states. We believe if you remove the illegal aliens from apportionment, it could result in a swing of as many as 20 to 30 electoral states. This is seats in Congress. This is electoral power to decide the next president. It also allocates significant federal funding to states based on this apportionment. So it’s a huge deal. I think most people don’t really understand how this works with the census. We certainly applaud President Trump for calling for a new census. We’re happy to help him in this regard. And let’s see this country apportioned appropriately, apportioned in a way that listens to the voices of US citizens in the governance of our country.
SPEAKER 17 :
Amen to that. Amen to that. Attorney General James Uthmeyer, we’d love to have you back. I know you’re busy in Florida, though. You’re doing a great job in Florida. And keep it up. We really appreciate it.
SPEAKER 05 :
We didn’t talk Supreme Court Second Amendment, so you have to have me back now.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, hit me with that real quick before I let you go. I got a minute left. I got a minute left. Give me an update on that.
SPEAKER 05 :
sure yeah well as you know you know at the appellate court when I took over I did an about-face from this office’s position we decided not to defend Florida’s law that you know prohibits people under 21 from being able to own a gun depriving people their constitutional right people that can serve in the military I committed that if it went up to the US Supreme Court on appeal I would not defend it indeed we are not in fact we have taken a briefing position arguing against the state law I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution I will not abandon that oath.
SPEAKER 17 :
Amen to that. We are grateful for that. General, appreciate you and your consistency, which is very rare. Thank you so much. That’s Attorney General James Uthmeyer from the great state of Florida. Sir, God bless you. Thank you for your time. We appreciate you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Always a pleasure. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER 11 :
If you’re imagining that the rapture is your get out of jail free card and you don’t have to pay any attention to current events and cultural trends because you’re going to get raptured out of this and it’s not your problem, you’re deceived. Why on earth would Jesus give us the teaching if the only people listening to his teaching didn’t need it?

SPEAKER 14 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 17 :
All right. So, guys, there’s a reason why you don’t drive your lawnmower, your riding mower on a busy road. And you don’t do it when you’re drunk. Big, big reason why this is in Sumter County, Florida. Florida Highway Patrol said a man was riding his lawnmower down the road and he got hit by a pickup truck Saturday night. Now, also at night. I feel like I didn’t add that in there. So don’t drive your riding lawnmower on a busy road. Don’t drive your riding lawnmower on a busy road at night. And don’t drive your lawnmower on a busy road at night while you’re drunk. It happened at almost 9 p.m. 71-year-old man riding his lawnmower. He had no lights on. In the dark, riding his mower, no lights. A Dodge Dakota truck traveling east tried to overtake the mower and hit it instead. And the man was transported to the hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries. The 36-year-old driving the pickup, now this gets even crazier, that man had a DUI. Whoa. So I’m just one thing after the other. So just stop it. Stop it. I got to tell you, those are some pretty big beans that feller had to be driving a lawnmower at night with no lights on a busy road. Like… He was apparently inebriated. The other guy’s inebriated. Everybody’s inebriated. So, uh, let’s see. Oh, let’s, um… Oh, let’s do this. We have the lawnmower in here a couple times. Let’s do a Florida man. Ooh. She looks crazy. A woman poured acid on this Florida man, and she has since been charged with his murder. He was asleep. This is Newport Ritchie. This Florida man was asleep. The lady poured acid on him as he slept at his home. She’s now charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery, causing serious bodily injury. She poured acid while he was in bed, then barricaded the bedroom door, and then called 911. Her mugshot is don’t care. look at that. She don’t care about that at all. They found the man in the home. He had serious, he had severe chemical burns. They had to airlift him to Tampa general and he succumbed to his injuries in just days. So yeah, I’m kind of, I don’t, I’m not actually ever going to do this, but when I hear stories of this, I’m like, where the hell people get an acid that does this? Where do you get that? Now I don’t want to get it, but I’m like,
SPEAKER 14 :
How does it get poured on you and then you can’t possibly survive that? That’s some powerful acid.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah. I mean, it’s like alien blood from aliens. Just saying. By the way, Alien Earth, if you haven’t watched that series, it’s phenomenal. It’s so good. Oh, my gosh. It’s about aliens. Fabulous series. It’s so good. Let’s see here. Oh, am I going to have time for one more? There’s a woman who sued a dairy farm in the wake of a raw milk outbreak. She’s suing a dairy farm in New Smyrna Beach because she said the raw milk from her facility is sick in her toddler, blah, blah, blah. Look, it is your responsibility to make sure that the products you’re consuming, especially when you’re doing a raw dairy farm, which sits outside of particular levels of licensing, you have to make the decision on that kind of stuff, right? So I don’t know. Do you think that she has grounds for a suit there? I don’t necessarily think that she does. I really don’t. We have more on the way. On our third hour coming up, we… Oh… Wait until you hear about this woman who is missing from Texas and then she popped up in the Scottish woodlands. It’s a weird one. Stick with us.

Listen as students and young adults interview well-respected CEOs on our national radio show, realworldleaders.org, to learn secrets for success and how to use them to propel their careers.
SPEAKER 08 :
I learned about media marketing because I’ve never heard of it before. So I learned something new. Todd also mentioned how he didn’t start this career until later on in life, which I feel is really interesting because a lot of people think you need to start a career right away, but that’s not always the case. All right, Emily, where does attention to detail show up the most in your life? I think social interactions. When I’m in a social environment, I pay attention to the way people like their tone or their movements or what’s going on, like the scenery. I also hear an intuitive nature and ability to read.

SPEAKER 23 :
Republican friends and fellow citizens, I say, who profess to be active Christians, I remind them that DEI is the very foundation of the Christian church.
SPEAKER 17 :
This is a DMC delegate. They’re having their weird little thing. DEI actually is the opposite of the founding of the Christian church because what you’re doing is you are… You are… lifting up identity politics. You’re lifting up identifiers and saying that something makes something more precious than something else, which is against God’s will. It’s the absolute opposite of it. You’re judging people based on attributes that they were born with and their skin color, their ethnicity, the culture in which they were born in, you are placing emphasis on an attribute that is outside of the kingdom instead of putting the emphasis on being part of the kingdom, which is completely antithetical to the founding of the Christian church. This is what this guy said was demonic. That’s, I mean, that’s a demonic thing to say. Welcome back to the program. Top of this third hour, Dana Lash with you. And just one of the things, one of the things they’re having at their little DNC Event I wanted to touch on something too that I had um, I I mentioned this I talked about this on a show I guess this was a couple of weeks ago and I we had the video up on instagram and I was talking about packing up boys and girls, you know, the differences between packing up a young adult male and a young adult female to go to college and how, you know, the girls’ rooms are just crazy and they’re all done up. And, you know, my kids live like Spartans. They have like nothing. They like to, my youngest son in particular likes to be able to pack everything up and leave at a moment’s notice. He’s like one of the, he like prides himself on that. It’s kind of funny. But I brought that up and I noticed like I was on Instagram and sometimes I have time to look at the comments and I was checking out the comments. And I was talking about how, oh, you know, my son, he didn’t even they have a kitchen and he didn’t even have plates and didn’t have all of these things. And this one woman and I didn’t make her name public because she wasn’t particularly rude. So I didn’t see the need to flame her out of existence. But she says, I’m doing this now. She commented, said, quote, I’m doing this now, but with a daughter. And as funny as this seems for you with a son without plates, I’m having to make sure my daughter knows not to leave her drink unattended, to open her water bottles or sodas herself, to never leave a friend out of sight for too long. How to use pepper spray. So that struck me. And I thought that it was inherently sexist. I responded because this never happens to college-aged males. Every parent teaches their kids this, male or female. I have to teach my sons to be wary of being alone with females due to the highly publicized trend of false accusations against innocent boys in recent years. Please. I do get tired of hearing that. And there was only a couple of people like, well, I have to teach my girls this or, you know, whatever. Can we stop with this anti-male antagonism? I’m really tired of it. I always get really tired of it. I always feel like whenever we talk about the responsibility of learning manners and behaving well, that women are always left out of the equation. When we talk about how, oh, well, this is how men should treat women and men need to do this. Can we talk about how women should treat men? Or are they not empowered enough to have that conversation? Because you can’t have it both ways. I had said, look, I know bad men. I was born to one. And I know amazing men. I married one. How about you raise honest girls that act like ladies? And I’ll continue raising honest boys who behave like gentlemen. And we won’t draw daggers. Deal. I just get tired of it. It’s society’s sexist, never ending persecution of men. And it’s true. Like I, you know, women who are like, oh, well, I have to teach my daughter. Yeah. You know how many men are getting roofied and have gone missing? In fact, one of the towns in which my son attended, one of my sons attended college, there was a young man who ended up getting roofied and he went missing. You know, young men are also targeted and it’s actually increasing. There was a young man who went missing in Nashville. There was a man who was kidnapped in Atlanta. I mean, this has been and it’s a lot of college age men. They’ve they will drug and rob them or they’ll do worse. It’s the thing that’s happening to say nothing of all of the false accusations of. You know, against men. False accusations like, you know, the fraternity was at the Virginia fraternity where they went through hell and back. They were falsely accused. But why is it always the responsibility is always left off of women? And as a woman, I got to say, no, I’d never hear society go, well, why don’t you act like a lady? Why don’t you not go and get drunk out of your ass at a bar? And, you know, why don’t you be a little bit more aware of your surroundings and act like a lady and not get yourself in bad positions? And we’ll have men not get themselves in bad positions. How about everybody’s just raised properly to act like gentlemen and ladies? And we make a deal to do that. But I get the sense that society sometimes feels like it’s men’s job to raise women the rest of the way. Am I the only one feeling like that? Am I just too harsh about it? And look, I’m coming at this as a woman who was raised mostly by a single mom. I’m a woman. And then I had sons. And I see it. I see all of this. But I also, from my experience, there was never this expectation put on women. I never had the expectation. I mean, I did it because I was raised right. But I never see that expectation placed on women. How about you act like a lady? How about you not lose track of how much you’re drinking at the bar? You know, is that so much to ask? Oh, but then you know what happens when you suggest equal responsibility. You always have some leftist, you know, broads who go out there like, oh, well, you’re you’re just putting that on the women. No, I’m putting the responsibility on both equally. You’re not exempt from it. You’re you’re not a child that has to continue. That has to be raised by your date. You’re a grown ass woman for all the talk about empowerment. I’ve never seen women so weak in my life. It’s disgusting for all the talk of empowerment and all this lip service that all of these old feminists, these old, you know, blue haired, oldest dust feminists have said, I’ve never seen women weaker in my life by their own hand. They’ve allowed men to take over their spaces. And that wasn’t the men who did it. That was the matriarchy that allowed it. All of these third and fourth wave feminists, you bees got played. You got played by them old crackling looking Gloria Steinem’s. You got played by all them Linda Hirschman’s. You got played by all of these old broads. And they went out and talked a great game about equality and then look what they got you. Now you got men in your locker rooms. You got men running you out on a rail of your sports teams. But hey, that’s what the matriarchy wanted, right? You all got played. I mean, the idea that this one woman, like, I have to teach my daughter to watch her drinks and all of that stuff. Well, everybody does, Slick. Oh, good job. You’re not going to get a special trophy because you just did your damn job as a mother. You met the basic minimum requirement. Good job. You know how many other women throughout all of Earth’s history have done the same thing? You’re not special no matter how many times daddy did or didn’t tell you. And by the way, a lot of this comes down to daddy issues. It’s just ridiculous. And I get so damn tired of it. I see this stuff, and people get very sensitive about it, and I don’t care. I see this stuff where it’s like, You know, the men who are like, well, a boy’s going to come to my house to take my daughter to homecoming. I’m going to stand out there with the shotgun. You know what? I’m going to stand out. I’ll be in my car dropping him off with my 45. How about that slick? And let’s see who’s got the biggest. Like, don’t be sitting here pulling this stuff with me. How about you just raise a lady? Raise a lady. I’m raising gentlemen. I know all you out there doing the same. And those of you that got boys and girls, you’re able to do both. But I’m just floored at some of the reaction to some of this stuff. Well, I have to raise my daughter. Good for you. I didn’t realize it was so hard for you. You’re on the struggle bus. I don’t feel like I’m too reactionary over this, Kane, am I? Not at all.
SPEAKER 14 :
I think this is exactly what third and fourth wave feminism has created. And hopefully we find a way out of it.
SPEAKER 17 :
You know, and the broads who say this stuff, we play that video of you, the 14-year-old girl who’s being stalked and harassed by this foreigner in Scotland. And she had to sit here and hold up an axe, a little axe, you know, a hatchet to protect herself. And how about you talk about how some of the policies that you support actually endanger you? You know, here are these women. These are women that are actually being targeted and preyed on. Oh, I had to teach my daughter, you know. I had to teach my daughter that she had. Steve, what do you mean? Where you say a lot of women fear falling into trad wife. What is that?
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 17 :
And I know what trad wife is.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right. They just they fear that if they give in that, you know, we prop up men as all these perfect people that they’re going to be like a housewife that cooks their food and cleans their dishes and just gets submitted back to this old 1950s character. That’s like there’s like a big fear of that right now.
SPEAKER 17 :
That is weird. Like a fear of the left or a fear of people on the of like, like maybe right leaning women are falling into that.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right. Just like just becoming a typical trad wife conservative woman isn’t is like a scary thing for people.
SPEAKER 17 :
So this is, and I, this is fat. Why is trad wife scary? I’ve never understood. Like, I think a lot of women have been told some boogeyman stories by these old feminist broads who made bank off of scaring them. These old feminists made so much money scaring the hell out of the younger generation. I think that they kneecap them. And I don’t think it was because they were leading them. I think that there were a bunch of jealous broads who saw that there was a scarcity of opportunity as they aged. And so they decided to sabotage the younger generations. If you’re asking me, I can deep dive into this if you want. That’s what it feels like. But what’s so bad about being a trad wife? You got healthy kids and you got women. Women worked really hard to not have to be in the fields so that they could be home and raise their kids. And then you had a bunch of third and fourth waivers that are wanted to that wanted to send all the women back out in the fields and have somebody else raise their kids. I’m going to tell you something. Men and women, you cannot have it all at the same time. I’ve done both. I’ve stayed home and raised kids. And then I’ve been out in different cities every week. I’ve done both. You cannot have it all at the same time. And there’s nothing wrong with being… I think trad wife is emotional blackmail. It’s emotional extortion that they try to use to control women’s choices. If a woman wants to stay home… Good for her. That is a prized thing. I had women who pretended to be on the right, and I’ve seen this before, who don’t understand the concept of marriage and partnership. And they’re like, oh, well, the woman’s living off the husband. Girl, you can’t even afford a roof over your head by yourself. You have to live in an apartment or have to have a roommate. You are not someone that I would go to for advice. So by God, you are not someone I’m going to be going to for criticism. That’s a big problem with all of this. It is a partnership. And it’s however it works for that family. With however it’s structured. That is what a biblical partnership is. So, I don’t know. I think trad wives and trad whatever, you know, these cutie little terms that everybody in social media tries to come up with to fit this, like… zeitgeist at the moment. I don’t know why it gets such a hard knock. Tread wives are awesome. Tread dads are awesome. And you know what? Just raising happy and healthy families and doing what works for yours, that’s awesome. But I’ve noticed it’s all these single, soulless, lonely old spinsters that want to dispense advice on Unprovoked. Uninvited. Have you noticed it? Especially on social media. It’s all these lonely old spinsters that want to sit here and dispense advice and tell all of you and get into your business and do all of this stuff. And I just don’t have time for tricks like that. I don’t have time. And neither should you.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 17 :
I have to tell you, yes, we did see… the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey engagement thing. No. No. I am not going to. It’s so annoying. It’s not going to be one of those things that we talk about. It’s all over. If you can go and look at one of the gossip sites, they’re engaged. You kind of knew it was coming, did you not? I don’t mean to sound like a killjoy, but it’s just like, okay, we got it. Come on. It doesn’t need to be in the news all the time. Gosh, can you imagine the coverage of the Chiefs? I know. All right. So let’s see. This, ooh, Texas A&M is going to have a Buc-ee’s. Mm-hmm. I don’t think the European mind can comprehend Bucky’s. Really don’t. I mean, they’ve got like a jerky station. They have a banana pudding wall. I was telling a friend of mine who was not born in the United States, is a citizen now. And she was just like, I just can’t believe they have all these things here. We go in and they have as old as smoked meats. It’s hysterical. It is hysterical when European people go into Buc-ee’s. It is one of my favorite things ever. But they’ve got… They’re going to have three campus stores that have Bucky’s stuff. And then then they have like a location outside where people can get. I was literally out of Bucky’s just a couple of days ago. Went in and what did I get there? I had to get the Bucky’s Nuggies. Got me some jerky. You know, I refrained from the banana pudding wall because that’s, you know, a lot.
SPEAKER 14 :
You said Bucky’s Nuggies, but it’s Beaver Nuggets.
SPEAKER 17 :
No, we’re calling it Bucky’s Nuggies. That’s what we’re calling it, Kane. We’re not calling it that with your Robert Evans glasses right now. I’m not even dealing with you. Stop it. Let’s see. We also a New Jersey man continues. He takes a foldable rowboat down the Hudson River to go to his job in New York. I mean, OK, there are some places in Sweden where they do this stuff. He works in New York City, but he lives in New Jersey and he commutes 12 miles down the Hudson in a foldable robo that he built with his son. And he has a foldable bicycle. He got tired of the commute and wanted something different. That’s going to be a real bummer when it’s cold. I’m just going to say that’s going to be a real bummer for him when it’s cold. Let’s see. A homeowner shot and killed two men in ski masks in a home invasion who pretended to be officers, so he saved everybody some money and time. Guns save lives. Stick with us.

Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of the third hour. All right, I got to tell you. I know we got other serious stuff to get into. But so you guys know I’m going to be going on a boat. for the MRC thing, so I’m gonna be out next week. It’s a large boat and I don’t do boats. I don’t do cruises because it’s, oh yeah, and for the audio listeners, that was Trump’s building behind him. I don’t do cruises because it’s weird and I just don’t. And so, it’s weird because you’re, I barely tolerate being on a plane. and going on a cruise you’re you know we’re going up into a very nordic area so hopefully everybody’s going to be too cold to be ill-behaved but it’s for the mrc media research center which is a great organization uh and uh happy to support them they do amazing stuff they do news busters all of this but i gotta tell you so i had to get Don’t laugh at me. You know, I work out and I’m, you know, I like being outdoors, but I don’t hike. I’m not a hiker, right? Everyone’s like, you got to have hiking boots. If you’re going to Norway, you got to have hiking boots because we’re going to be up in the fjords. It’s like Monty Python. He’s pining for the fjords. Oh, he’s pining for the fjords, is he? Can’t even pronounce half of where we’re going. Very excited about the smoked salmon though. Anyway, so I had to get like hiking shoes. Now Dana’s pretty easygoing, but there’s certain things that I get real bougie about. Okay. Like skincare and like shoes. I’m very bougie. I want to be comfortable. And so we go into one of those like outdoor stores. I don’t want to give anybody free advertising. They can pay. We go into one of those outdoor stores, you know, it’s where they have like the camping and the climbing stuff and the biking stuff. There was a guy there, bless his heart, fell over on a bike right in the middle of the store, right as we walked in. Anyway, everybody in that store looked like they were just literally getting ready to run out and go climb a mountain or mountain bike somewhere. Is there a rule where you go into one of these outdoor stores where you have to be wearing all the stuff that they have in there already? Is that a rule? I don’t think so. Do you remember when we went to Seattle and we went up there for a market visit and we get off the plane and it was as if everyone was about to leave the airport and go into the mountains and hike with Sasquatch, right?
SPEAKER 14 :
No, without a doubt. I think it was Portland, but yes, you are absolutely right. You’re absolutely right.
SPEAKER 17 :
It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. We felt out of place. We were telling each other like, Everybody here is like they’re getting ready to go into the mountains. It’s very weird.
SPEAKER 14 :
And the hotel.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
Remember that hotel?
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, yeah. The hotel was. Was that that hotel?
SPEAKER 14 :
That was the one where it had. It was like Twin Peaks.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, exactly. I was digging it because it was like Twin Peaks and that was totally my jam. So I’m in this outdoor store. Can I kid you not? Every, every, every body in the store. It was as if they were about ready to go and hike up some mountain that we don’t have because we’re in Dallas. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. And, you know, there was a couple of things that I had to get, including some hiking boots because I don’t hike. If you hike, I love that for you. I love that journey for you. it’s not my jam, just not my thing. It’s glorified walking. I’m totally, you know, there’s certain things. I love, and I like going out and harvesting for nature. Nature. I like going out and shopping in nature. Like, that’s meat for my, my fridge. And that’s my Christmas sausage. And that’s my rug. And this is this. And, you know, and then I go back to my hotel with electricity. Totally fine. And I don’t care about getting dirty or none of that, but I just, you know, we invented the house and running water. And I like to go back to these things. So, because we’re humans and I appreciate all the things our ancestors have done for us. So I’m in here and I’m, you know, looking at these hiking boots and they’re all hideous. Go for the love. But, you know, you got to get the ones that are most comfortable. I have no idea what I’m going to be doing. We might be on a glacier. I have no clue. I might be… I don’t know. I’m going to… I was like, look, I want to see some staved churches, creepy blonde kids, and a troll. That’s what I want to see when I’m up here in Norway and have some of that delicious salmon. I’m all about that. Beautiful country. And so… Everybody in there. I can’t. I felt so out of place because I went in and my TV wear and I was dressed real nice yesterday. Y’all didn’t see the whole outfit, but it was it was nice. It was brown, which is weird for me because, you know, everything I have 5,000 of these black T-shirts. So I was the only person who is not like all kitted out in class. Where do you there was somebody with a backpack on that they brought in the store that had the rock climbing stuff all over it already. And I’m like, are you? It’s flat where we are for a while.
SPEAKER 14 :
Were they returning?
SPEAKER 17 :
No, it’s like they legit came in and they had on the sports sandals. And I’m not going to go into that because I have some family members that wear those and I don’t want to have the drama of dealing with it after the show. All I will say is that it legit looked like they were just dropped out of an airplane coming from Mount Kilimanjaro. And they were in this outdoor store. I was the only person who was dressed like a person that just did not come off a mountain. Is that a thing? I’m not joking, you guys. Everybody in there, although there was one person who looked like a prospector. But… I felt like I’m like, nobody comes in here. Do you have to show that you are outdoors? You go home first and change into all your outdoor stuff and then bring it in? Like, yeah, I’m just here to add on to my stuff. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 14 :
It was very interesting. I like to go fishing and camping on occasion, but I don’t bring my fishing pole when I’m shopping for more fishing stuff. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER 17 :
I’ve seen people with lures on their hats.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, that’s not too unusual.
SPEAKER 17 :
Like in the store, like on a weekday. I’m like, what are you doing? I don’t know. It’s like a whole culture. And then they had a bulletin board where it’s like, this is how you pack a backpack. And I’m like, what? I mean, I can help you with that. What’s the struggle here? They had all this other, you know, like how to eat, you know, wildfire and all this. And that’s great if people… I have friends who… Are they actually do survivalist stuff on the weekends? And that’s great. And I love that for them. But this felt so corporate. You know what I mean? It felt so corporate and so try hard. Like it wasn’t the real thing. It was just a corporatized version of what people really do. It was just weird to me. It might be too judgmental. I might be, I don’t know. It was just really weird. It was, you know, very different culture shock for me. So, you know, everyone’s like, well, when you’re out in the day and you’re not, cause we have sessions and you know, we, I’ll be speaking and doing some stuff on this trip. And then a couple of times, you know, in the week during the day, you get to just basically go run out into the fjords, I guess. I don’t know. I’m going to fall off a mountain or something. Who knows? I’m going to come back with a troll. I’m going to capture a troll, bring it back. It will be a studio troll. So it’ll be interesting. I’ll give you guys updates. Free subscribers over at Chapter and Verse. The subscribers are going to be able to follow along a little bit with some of it. I’ve never been that far north before either. Guys, it was 76 this morning in Texas and I about built a fire. If it wasn’t my husband yelling at me like, stop it. It’s 76 degrees. It’s going to be 80 something today. I’m like, that’s cold. It’s cold here, sir. It’s cold. It’s going to be cold up there, and then the days last a lot longer. So it’s going to be very cane. It’ll be very different. Very different. I’m going to be freezing to death, wrapped up in sweaters and mittens, and I’m going to look like Ralphie’s little brother from A Christmas Story perpetually on every outing. That’s what it’s going to look like. So it’s going to be a lot of fun. Yeah, I’m not going to be able and like I’m looking at the hiking pants and all the hiking pants. They make your butt look huge. And then like you’re I don’t know why they’re tapered like that. They make women look like they’re they’re tomatoes on toothpicks. I don’t get it. I just I’ve got a lot of questions about some of the stuff. Speaking of leggings, can we talk about this mother who got mad at the school? Her daughter was disciplined for wearing yoga plant yoga plants, pants. Try again. Disciplined for wearing yoga pants to school. It’s a Texas mom. Her daughter’s in seventh grade, so she’s 12 years old. And she posted a photo of the girl and they were bootcut yoga pants, but they were yoga pants all the same. They were leggings. Okay. Just a newsflash. Leggings aren’t pants. Cover your ass. I’m so tired of it. If you, I’m going to say something very unpopular and I love you all, but I got to get this out of my system. I’m really old school. I don’t care if they’re dirty jeans. I’m not going to go out in leggings. I’m not going to go out in leggings and show my backside. I live in a town where women want to wear tennis skirts everywhere. And I know half of them don’t play tennis. Stop it. Stop it. Yoga pants are not pants. Leggings are not pants. Tennis skirts are not a substitute for an actual skirt. B, at least I subscribe to the Karl Lagerfeld School of Attire. If you’re wearing sweatpants out and about, you know, as an outfit, you’ve given up on life. Teach your 12-year-old daughter to dress better than wearing leggings to school. And she was wearing a short shirt and it was real tight leggings. It’s just, I just don’t think that that’s appropriate wear. I think that, you know, raise your kids to dress nicer. There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with being like, you know what? That’s great if you’re lounging around the house, but I think we get too sloppy and too, you don’t have to be rich and buy designer stuff to dress nice, for crying out loud. You know, my grandpa always looked like to the nines. He was a rancher and he wore Wranglers, you know? I mean, for crying, you don’t have to wear the, you don’t have to wear like designer million dollar jeans. You don’t have to do any of that stuff. But you don’t have to wear leggings as pants out and about. And especially when you’re 12 years old and you’re in school. And apparently this has been part of the dress code for some time. So it wasn’t like it was a surprise to anybody. But… She said, well, the rule wasn’t enforced in the past. So doesn’t mean it’s any less of a rule. Have higher standards for your daughter as a mom. Be like, I wouldn’t be like my daughter wearing leggings as pants out and about. And I say the way my grandma does. You wouldn’t be wearing leggings as pants because they’re not pants. They are not pants, especially when they’re tan colored. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen people in tan colored leggings. And I’m like, they are half naked out here in the airport at the airport, Cain. tan leggings at the airport. Dude, I kid you not. I had to look down at the ankle to see if there was a change in the color because I’m like, this woman, her butt is out in the airport. This woman is half naked in the airport. Holy moly.
SPEAKER 14 :
It does look bottomless. They look like they’re bottomless when they’re wearing those.
SPEAKER 17 :
There’s too many choices. So now she’s like, oh, it’s body shaming, etc. She was like, she body shamed her daughter. No one body shamed your daughter, Karen. They’re like, can she dress appropriately? It’s 2025, okay? For the love. Let’s just stop. I insist to stop this stuff. This is not hard to do. People can get mad about all they want, but sticking to my guns on it. It’s just silly.

SPEAKER 06 :
Well, you know, from my perspective, it takes one to know one on the weight question. And the president, of course, himself is not in good shape. So he ought to respond to that from me. I would say also that his personal attacks on me are just evidence of a guy who’s still living in fifth grade. He’s the kind of bully that throws invectives at people and because he knows that what he’s saying is actually commentary on himself.
SPEAKER 17 :
He’s just so Not elegant when he answers. Because because what did Trump say? Trump told him. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Oh, I just had one. Sorry. He said he said Prince Grotto go to the gym.
SPEAKER 21 :
Listen, you really want to be asked to go. You know, I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians and bad politicians like a guy like Pritzker. He had to spend more time in the gym. Oh, this guy is a disaster. Gavin Newsom’s a disaster. When we went, we saved Los Angeles. You wouldn’t have been able to have.
SPEAKER 17 :
So that’s what Pritzker is responding to. And I got it. I think Trump’s taller than Pritzker. Trump is ginormous. He’s a lot taller than Pritzker. Are we going to have a fat off? Is that what it’s going to be? I’m just asking. I can’t believe Pritzker. He takes the bait every time. I know. He takes the bait every time he takes it. Every time.
SPEAKER 14 :
Then he goes, it’s so fifth grade. Then he goes and proceeds to say, I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me.
SPEAKER 17 :
He said I’m fat, but he’s fat.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s like, wow, that’s not fifth grade at all.
SPEAKER 17 :
He just takes the bait. He is so predictable. That dude takes the bait every single time. Those are real fun politicians to mess with. Everybody’s got a currency. And Pritzker is very vain. And that’s a currency for him. So when you learn someone’s currency. sounds mean we can manipulate their response better they’re easy they’re more easily manipulated the more emotional they are the more manipulated the more the easier it is to manipulate them the more emotional they are uh the the vainer they are the easier it is to manipulate them he and he wears his currency on his sleeve so you you know where where pritzker is going with it so interesting though he um So he’s one of the things we got to talk about tomorrow. I’m going to save this. It’s audio sound by three. Is this agreement with China that’s going to allow 600,000 Chinese students in the US? You know, they got to report back to CCP, right? That’s literally a condition of being granted the ability to go and be educated in the United States. That is a condition placed upon that privilege granted by the CCP. Anyone else weird about that? I would say no. You unleashed WooFlu on everyone? No. But see, I like to hold grudges until I’m satisfied. There’s no way I would let. It’s true. I’m still mad. Aren’t you all still mad at them for WooFlu? Hell, I’m mad. I’d be like, no, no, no. You go and send them to Wuhan. They can go get educated at one of the colleges there. We’re not doing this. Not doing this. I just don’t know. I don’t think that that’s America first, allowing over half a million students from China into the United States. We’re going to talk more about that tomorrow. In the meantime, today in stupidity came.
SPEAKER 14 :
All right, DNC Chair Ken Martin. Apparently he thinks Texas, by constitutionally redistricting, somehow is breaking the rules. So now they want to position themselves as rule breakers. This is cut 21. Juan, listen to this.
SPEAKER 09 :
Now look, folks. I’m sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight.
SPEAKER 21 :
We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We’ve got to stand up and fight. We’re not going to have a hand tied behind our back anymore.
SPEAKER 17 :
How many times are they going to talk about knife fights? I thought he said we’ve got to bring a knife to the knife fight.
SPEAKER 14 :
They’re so violent at these meetings, aren’t they?
SPEAKER 17 :
Gosh, they think everything’s a knife fight, crazies. All right, folks, that does it for us tonight. Find us on Substack. Subscribe at YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. I will be back with you tomorrow.
