Now like, I mean, they know what they are.
Like, why don't they just say what's going on?
So I feel like if it was a real threat,
they'd be, there'd be more, more going on. you hear what do you think well you hear a project blue beam
yeah you start seeing stuff happen shortly after that yeah Miami stuff it could be conditioning
yeah it could be conditioning to fear something I mean um you know propaganda and movies and
various different things have been going on for decades and decades so
different things have been going on for decades and decades. So.
All right. Danica Patrick part two. It's been a while. Oh my gosh. I'm so excited to see you here.
A lot's changed.
Gosh, a lot has changed.
It was before you made your first endorsement.
Yeah, there's like a BC to our conversation, to be honest.
Yeah.
I mean, I came to this event last year.
It was my first political event that I had ever been to,
which then led to going on Tucker's and Charlie Show and meeting Tulsi and interviewing her and then becoming
friends, which then led to Tulsi inviting me along the way with so many different campaigns,
which ended up landing me sitting next to President Trump for about two hours worth
of the flight from Michigan back to West Palm.
I love it. Were you eating McDonald's on it?
So I will say that the food needs an upgrade. The food definitely needs a little help. I didn't see him drink water. That's true. I said on stage, but he's like, do you want some of this? We have
a special ginger drink. Do you want it? And I was like, you don't say no, right? And so I was like,
what's a special ginger drink? And it was ginger ale. And he ate a sandwich and it was like wrapped in cellophane
and like a bag of chips next to it.
I'm like, this looks like it came from a gas station.
What is this?
And then they were like, what do you want?
And so I was like, you know what?
I just like some cheese, please.
Like I just like a little, like I was thinking
like put a little cheese plate together, like that's good.
And they brought me a cheese sandwich
With like one piece of Swiss so I was like I open it up and ate the piece of Swiss out of it
So it's so fun. Yeah, it definitely needs
I don't think that there was any jokes about that McDonald's flight with Bobby and Tulsi and all them like I think they probably really had
McDonald's no, they did you could You can see the photo, the look on RFK's face.
Oh man. I mean, the healthiest people in the world still eat stuff that's not perfect sometimes,
except for maybe my friend Paul Saladino. I don't think he ever would.
But yeah, I mean, look, one McDonald's is never going to kill you.
Although I did post a story about what's in McDonald's french fries and it was
gruesome.
It's like a hundred ingredients, right?
No, no, it was just like, it looked like, there's like, it looked like larva or some
larva or like, like bugs and oh my God, it looked like dirt.
Yeah. I can't wait till RFK starts implementing some of these health things.
Beef tallow, baby. What if we were actually-
These are made from beef tallow, actually.
I know. I've seen these before and I, I almost bought them, but I was traveling and I was like,
well, I don't know what to do with them.
But I actually cook with beef tallow now too.
Like they've got sprays and stuff.
So yeah, I mean, imagine if McDonald's became like healthy.
What the, here's the thing.
Everybody has the ability to evolve.
So if your business isn't working the way it is,
or let's say something's coming down the pipeline that would take away the business you have, just evolve. So if your business isn't working the way it is, or let's say something's
coming down the pipeline that would take away the business you have, just evolve.
Right. Yeah, we need to. I'm not a fan of China buying up the farmland here also.
No, I mean, let's hope that that kind of stuff stops too, is just the control of that and
the products used and, you know, let's get back to regenerative farming and you know, like
the no need for pesticides or natural ones. Like I have a wine and our, my winery, my
vineyard is organically farmed. And so there's a way, right? There's a way to do all of it.
I'd love to try your wine one day by the way. I should have brought some for you. Yeah.
I've even following the drone stuff. I have. What's your theory on it?
So fascinating.
Yeah, it's interesting.
I think it's us.
I think that if they wanted to do damage,
they would have done it, right?
It seems like, you know,
I'd watch someone speak about it being something
that could maybe, because it's at night.
So it's not necessarily seeing anything unless it,
actually I was talking to some guys
that used to work for the border.
Yeah.
And I was like, what if they had drones,
don't they have drones or cameras that can heat seek and sense things?
It's like, yes.
I mean, I guess they could do that at night, but otherwise they said they were maybe smelling
for certain bombs or different things.
But also maybe they're just running tests, seeing how these drones operate, seeing how
things work, maybe because we might need them in the future. But I do think it seems to be us.
I otherwise, I mean, you know, President Trump seemed like
nonchalant kind of cavalier about, oh, well, you know, like, I mean, they know what
they are like, why don't they just say what's going on?
So I feel like if it was a real threat, they'd be there.
There'd be more more going on.
And you hear, well, you hear a project, Bluebeam.
Yeah. You start seeing stuff happen shortly after that that like the Miami stuff. It could be conditioning
yeah it could be conditioning to fear something I mean um you know propaganda and movies and
various different things have been going on for decades and decades so.

If you or someone you know has concerns about gambling,
visit connectsontario.ca.
You know, one of obviously my favorite things is hopefully we get some more disclosure on
everything from like the FBI files. Hopefully Cash Patel is able to implement some of that.
You probably know Cash. He's in Vegas.
I don't. I'd love to meet him. Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah. He's a great guy.
I didn't know that.
But he's great. And I mean, just being able to know
what the hell is really going on
will be so refreshing.
Yeah, that being said though, I do believe in aliens.
I've had on Elizabeth April recently.
I have too, a couple times.
Yeah, I saw that episode and she's convinced me.
I mean, she's, and she did,
there's so many people that speak so matter of factly
about it, she remote views.
And so, and look, the CIA has been using a
remote viewers for a very very long time they probably also been using in other
countries as well these people get snatched up that know how to like
there's actually apps that you can use to practice and see if you're able to do
it which actually everyone's able to do it it's more a matter of tuning in which
I'm sure you've talked to plenty of people
about tuning into frequencies.
But yeah, remote viewing's a real thing.
Yeah, I know you've had Greer on too, right?
Stephen Greer?
I've had him on a couple of times as well.
I was thinking I need to get Stephen back on.
Especially with all the stuff going on.
He's probably got some things to say right now.
Oh yeah, yeah, shout out to Stephen.
Right?
Stephen has been at this for a long time,
decades and decades and decades.
He used to be a doctor,
and you know, he is a plethora of information. this for a long time, decades and decades and decades. He used to be a doctor. And,
you know, he's a, he is a plethora of information. Almost the most concerning thing about Steven
is that he has so much. It's like, wow, how do you know all that? Right? There's like
a, there's like a peaking suspicion and how much you know. I think that's the case with
anybody that's like has an answer for everything, but I'm pretty sure it's not all BS.
Yeah. It has to be something. Right? I don't think you can make up every single story you
said on 20 podcasts. Right? Somebody be fact checking.
Yeah, for real. How excited are you for Doge?
I mean, I think this is probably one of the greatest movements to come along. Everything from
Elon buying X to, I mean, he spent almost half a billion dollars of his own money to
get the campaign to do what it did and help him get elected.
I mean, he lived in Pennsylvania for like, what, three or four weeks?
Yup.
So, but Doge being able to go in, I was talking to my sister about this on the way and I was
like, how about the fact that they believe they can cut $2 trillion from the budget?
Like, it'd be cool, it wouldn't be amazing
if they could cut 100 billion, no, no, no, times 20.
So, I mean, there's just probably so much fat to trim,
so many unnecessary programs, so much,
so much that they can clean up.
And this will truly be probably one of the greatest resets that
the administration will be able to do is to adjust, to get this budget in check, eliminate
stuff that shouldn't be there anymore.
And even just simple things like they say, like get people back in the office.
How many people aren't even working in the office anymore?
It's like, you know, get people doing the job that they're meant to do.
And when you're in the office, there's more accountability and more communication and usually more collaboration and more progress.
I believe Elon said 6% show up to the office, federal workers.
Really? Oh my God.
So 94% don't show up to office.
That's wild. Well, about 50% are probably going to lose their job.
Crazy. I hope he makes some changes to the IRS.
I don't know enough about all the changes
that they wanna make, but again, another topic
that my sister and I were just talking about on the way here
about just like taxes and how wild the taxes are.
I like that the people that think
that the wealthy should pay more taxes,
it's like the wealthy employee people.
I feel like people don't understand
that if the wealthy make more, they hire more.
They hire more people and also they're spenders
and they're savers.
And I'm betting a lot of the savers are business owners.
And you know what they do?
They expand their business.
And so I feel like there's a lack of understanding
on some people's part that raising taxes for the wealthy
is gonna somehow solve a problem.
It's a whisper on the wind.
And also they're the ones that are employing
the mass amounts of people.
And so I think that, I mean, like they say, make, make the wealthy pay
their fair share.
I mean, I love the idea of a flat tax, you know, isn't that fair?
Right.
Why should I have to pay more?
Cause I make more.
Shouldn't, shouldn't we be fair?
We all let's all just pay 20% or whatever it is.
I mean, look, I think that there needs to be operational fees
for like the country you live in
and the cities and the states
and all the luxuries that we have.
But I think that we get taxed to death.
Death by tax is a real thing
because you'd literally get taxed when you die.
You not only get taxed when you get it,
you get taxed if you give someone money
and then you get taxed when you die.
It's just wild.
It's just wild. It's just wild.
What was the one issue that you were focused on the most
this election?
I mean, health is my biggest passion.
Everything to do with, you know, everything RFK is doing.
So I just had the most amount of passion
for seeing that stuff take a turn.
Yeah.
But I think on top of that,
it's really just like a call to rational thinking again. pieces of delicious Popeyes signature chicken, four tasty chicken tenders, four regular size,
and everybody's favorite, four buttermilk biscuits.
Hurry up though, like the holiday season,
Popeyes $25 festive family box deal
will be over before you know it.
Love that chicken from Popeyes.
What's bond all of this was me saying,
I love this country after I left this event last year
and people freaking out as a result. It just pissed me off. And I feel like I also have
a deep yearning inside of me to get to the point where we live in a country where saying
that I love this country, wearing an American flag or flying an American flag means you're
American and not Republican. Right. So cancel culture came for you even though you didn't even endorse last year. I didn't endorse a candidate or anything. I know. Last year. No.
They were just going after you because you were at the event. Oh, because I posted that I love this
country and I was at the event. And so they all just kind of like were, you know, there was just
like, oh wow, Danica is a radical, right, mega. Like they frame you like you're a bad person
for some reason when all I did was say,
AmFest, AmericaFest, I love this country,
seemed like the place to be.
You got canceled for that.
Yeah, or they tried anyway.
Yeah, I feel for these pro athletes, you know.
Well, I think there's an important energy
that needs to be used in these moments,
which is just truth and conviction.
Yeah.
Like people kept telling me along the way, and especially after the election,
like, thank you so much for what you did.
You're so brave.
It's like, I don't feel brave.
I felt called to the truth of what's going on.
And I wanted everybody to wake up.
Yeah.
You took a brave step because a lot of these athletes and these people in Hollywood,
they support them behind the scenes, but if they make a statement, they'll lose a lot of money and
business endorsements and things like that.
Did that happen to you?
I mean, I think while I was in my career, I stayed away from politics and religion because
it's just, it's literally on a piece of paper when you'd go do like speaking engagements
or events or something to like stay away from these two topics.
So I, I just, I just did cause I was an athlete and. And I'm fine with that phase of my life.
And I think that it's okay for some people to be in that phase of their life, right?
There's something more important than you taking a stand against something political
or that's happening in the country.
It's your job right now. Great.
I don't think there's anything wrong.
I think it's wrong if you feel like you really, really want to step up and you don't.
Yeah.
You should be able to and then you just
should because I'm guessing you have the conviction then.
But if it's something where you don't agree,
but like, look, I'm far more interested in
this other side of my life that's happening, it's fine.
Absolutely.
Just a chapter of your life and
maybe the other chapter in a politics will open up.
Agreed. What are you working on next?
Where can people watch your podcast?
Everywhere podcasts are aired and filmed and shot and posted, you know, so it's YouTube. I mean,
I love the YouTube format because you can watch it, but anywhere you find it. But yeah, I mean,
just it's so fun, right? Do you love doing the podcast?
I love it. It's my favorite job. I heard you talking about it on your talk today and I
resonated so much.
It's so fun. It's just like you learn so much, you meet so many people.
It's a great great connector and it's it also feeds my interest. So perfect. We'll link it below and your wine company as well. Thanks for coming on again. Thank you. Thanks for watching guys. Peace.
Drinking and driving is a decision that could change your whole world. Things will never be
the same if you ever get a DUI because legal fees and time in court are just the beginning.
Getting into a crash is another way that your world can be turned upside down.
Your vehicle may not be the only thing that gets damaged in that crash. You can
face a life-altering injury or even death but you're not the only one that
can face those consequences. Your decision to drink and drive can permanently impact
not just your world but someone else's world as well. Whether you injure them or
leave their loved ones grieving. The next time you're out drinking call a
ride share, a taxi, a sober friend, or a designated sober driver. The only
decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for
a sober ride.
Drive sober or get pulled over.
