I'm trying to be nicer because I've got to go to church on Sunday, you know. And I just feel like if I play audio sound bite 9, Kane, might be a little difficult for me. Not to go to church, but to walk in with like, and say, I've been real good this week. So the issue, first off, the issue, let me start with this. Let's get, let's prepare cut eight, please. the issue with the far left in the DSA, obviously, is their terrorists. I mean, how else are you going to, if you're sitting here saying that America deserved 9-11, you deserve to have your ass kicked.

You do. I wish sometimes that we lived in the Wild West because I have a better way to settle things. But everybody's so litigious and everybody's got to go to court. I'm very old school, which is why the guy who threatened to kill me on the Internet suddenly got very very quiet when I discovered his home address, satellite photos of his house, the social security number, his license plate number, where he works, where his family works, and his entire clientele list. And yes, I did reach out to his employer, because if you're going to FAA, I will make you FO. Don't like mistake and think that because I'm a woman in her 40s, that I am not

the craziest, meanest person you will ever meet in your ever-loving life. Hi. So, let's go to cut eight. So Hassan Piker is very upset because people heard, the comment that he made with his own face about America deserving 9-11. So this is his defense, believe it or not. Listen. We got to realize, like, this 9-11 stuff is just only being weaponized

as a way to make Muslims and Muslim candidates look bad. Like, it's a, it's a permission structure for Islamophobia. It's ridiculous, dude. It's so, it's so, it's so, ridiculous. So that's all he has. That's the, that wait, are you sitting here seriously telling me that that's the level of insight you get from Nepo anchor baby, Hassan Piker? It's so lame, dude. It's so racist. It's racist. To be, like, offended because I said America deserve 9-11. That's literally,

like, racist. He says it's being weaponized for Islamophobia. I think he's trying to weaponize the empathetic structure of a Christian nation and use it to try to nullify said Christian nation. That's what I think. It's not Islamophobia to point out that you like watching Americans die. It's not Islamophobia to point out that you think that innocent Americans deserved to be burned to death at the hands of a bunch of Islamists. That's not Islamophobia. That's mere observation. It's not Islamophobia. That's mere observation. It's not Islamophobia to point out that a NEPO anchor baby who goes in campaigns with other people who share his views on 9-11 to be kind of critical of that and say that it is absolutely Islamist-driven. That's not Islamophobia.

Islamophobia is a made-up word that tries to get you to ignore statistical fact. No, I'm not saying every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists are Muslims. You can get mad all you want to. That doesn't change the fact because other people can observe this statistical reality and say the same thing. So you can't try to sit here and invalidate the argument by some sort of appeal to fallacy and invalidate the messenger. That's ridiculous. This is just fact. And yes, he deserved to get called out.

Just like he deserved to get called out for going on his poverty tour of Cuba wearing an $800 shirt and $1,200 sunglasses. just like he deserves to get called out for electrocating his dog, just like he gets deserved, just like he deserves to get called out. Every single time he says something stupid and voluntarily puts it into the public sphere. I mean, it's weaponized for Islamophobic. I think Hassan Piker is racist.

I think Hassan Piker hates everything that America represents. I think he hates Christianity. I think he hates westernized democracy in the construct of our republic. I think he hates all of it. And just because he can dress up and Nouveau-Riche designer duds doesn't make it any less jihadi. It's a jihadi mentality. That's Islamism.

On the left and the woke right think that they can flirt around with it to bring about a bigger, larger, more intrusive government structure. Here is Jennifer Welch, who has pinched her face to the point where it's as taught as an anus saying that, well, she's defending Hassan Pikes. here. This is cut in nine. And then they trot out these candidates and try, like Mike Rogers and try to get you to think that he's actually going to service Michiganders. And they know he won't. So what they're going to do is they're going to say, Abdul al-Sayyad, he must be a terrorist. He must be this insane person. Well, they've run against him and they can't dig up any dirt on him at all. Really? They've tried. They say, oh, he campaigned with Sond Piker. Who gives it? Tough tities. Get over it. All of you are campaigning with J.D. Vance, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, etc.

Go fuck yourselves. I am so sick of this bull-h-hack narrative that somehow who the Democrats campaign with is this horrible thing. Look at the monsters running this country. She's not really bright, right? She's not the sharpest needle in the Botox drawer. Yeah, I mean, let's, I'm, first off, to say that no one came up with anything is absolutely, absolutely untrue. I mean, we've got audio, we've got video, we have paper receipts. I mean, let's, I mean, he's been linked to care. He's been linked to Muslim Brotherhood. Now, he all, he dismisses everything with a receipt as being baseless.

But truth is truth. just because you dislike it doesn't invalidate it. He has a lot of super sketchy associations. And those super sketchy associations, especially from Democrats who like to talk about dark money and they like to talk about foreign influence, suddenly they have no issue. They have no issue.

Now, Lorraine says that Jennifer Welch wants to sleep with Hassan Piper. but first off, I'm pretty sure he's gay. And secondly, I'm pretty sure she's like, even if he wasn't, I don't think that he would want to get with someone who's his grandmother's age. Just saying, I mean, hide them hands and get some broadband light therapy

on your shoulders. I mean, for crying out loud, you can sit here and pull you and bleach your face all you want to, but you've got to think about the rest of it. It doesn't match. Dana, is it mean? You're damn right. It is. And deserved? Yes. So, I just, whatever that they get, do to try to invalidate all of these associations. Notice how they had no problem with any of this

during the primary. It's now that we're getting towards the general that it's become problematic. And keep in mind, I find it fascinating how so many people have been talking about black voters. And black voters are not falling for this DSA stuff. They are actually eschewing the DSA outreach. And this was one of the, let me pull up my notes here. This was one of the things that came up when they were doing exit polling in, Michigan and the, they're not fans of it. They're not fans of it at all. It's been described as El-Said's moment of truth because he has fallen short in appealing to black voters. Now, there are some Democrat socialist. There are some dumb socialist. I'm not saying Democrat, because it's like putting glitter on a turd that's stupid. But they're having some trouble.

And one of the reasons that they're having trouble is the working class, which is black and white, the working class, they hear the rhetoric from DSA and that does not resonate with them. Because all of the people at DSA, look at all these people, they're all rich Neppo anchor babies. All of them. Zoran Mandani. They have a fortress in Uganda. I can't remember how many square feet that mansion was. the that's where he had his wedding to that one chick who dresses like a super frumpy person and everyone's kissing her butt because they think that's the next big thing i don't get it um but

he's a nepo anchor baby hasan piker same thing they've never had to work this is a guy who was given a podcast by his fat uncle who calls himself a young turk and he's like 60 okay um they these individuals, they've never had any skin in the game. They've never had to work. They don't understand the value of a dollar. They don't understand the value of hard work because they've had everything handed to them. I mean, if you look at every single one of these DSA candidates, every single one of their stories are the exact same. They're all the exact same. I mean, whether it's the lady in Michigan, it doesn't matter. All of them are the exact same. And this guy, Abdul al-Said,

Born in Egypt, came to the United States. His parents moved here. This guy, his parents were rich. He grew up rich. And he had no question. He never had to worry about affording a medical school. He never had to worry about affording anything. He's never worked in the private sector ever.

He only did stuff in college and then in the government because of his parents' connections, he got a job in the Detroit Health Department still for the government. That's literally it. He's never worked in the private sector ever. This is a guy, like all of them, all of these DSA people have the exact same story. Working class voters do not find any residence there. they do not see anything with which they identify. They see people who don't know their industry, who don't understand the economic layout of the United States, who don't understand the importance

of manufacturing, of domestic energy, of minerals. They don't understand the importance of our exports. They don't understand the importance of any of this because they've never had to work in it. So it's no wonder why working class voters are like, no thanks. El-Said going in the general, is he's going to struggle with black voters because black voters are like, this guy doesn't work. And they are offended. Honestly, I think they're offended because the Democrats do this every damn election. They put up someone. They're like, well, this person's brown.

You're brown. So you've got to brown for brown, right? You got to vote for them. That's what they do all the time. They think that they don't have to make a case to black voters that they can just put up someone who has a higher melanin count than any kind of white challenger. And they think that's going to be enough of a campaign. They consistently do this.

And now they're kind of freaking out in Michigan right now because they just realize that he's going to have to campaign. He's actually going to have to get out there and do it. And the way that they had been doing it previously, they fly Hassan Piker in and they hold a couple of little events from pre-selected people and then they record it. And then they make it out like, oh, he's going everywhere when really he went to like two places.

That's not going to be enough. You're going to actually have to get there and retail politic. But then it gets real tricky. because people that turn out to meeting are going to be asking him hard questions. What is your plan for the economy here? What is your plan for manufacturing? What is your plan for tax incentives

when we're overtaxed? What is your plan? But Democrats never talk to black voters like that because they don't think black voters care, just like they don't think women care about anything other than abortion. They're really going to screw themselves here. One other quick point.

24, Michigan went for Trump. He peers through the blue. wall. That is not to be undercounted. As we move, the folks who don't make their program possible. It's our friends over at Alliance defending freedom. Golly, they're there in every single fight. Every fight. I have been talking about the stuff that they have been fighting and winning for over 10 years now. I think the first time that I had them on was the case of this florist named Barone L. Stutzman out on the West Coast. And the alphabet mafia was after her because she's a Christian running a florist shop and they tried to ruin her life.

An alliance defending freedom stood in the gap. Or the baker named Jack that was out in Colorado. Same thing. I mean, there are so many cases, not just that, but also protecting women's sports. Not just with major, major court victories, but also common sense legislation. Or landing a landmark free speech victory at the Supreme Court on behalf of Christian counselor, Kaylee Childs. This is all the stuff that Alliance Defending Freedom does. The things that you see protected in the news,

ADF is the one usually behind it. And they rely on the generosity of people like you to continue fighting these battles that absolutely not just affect you, but they affect your kids and they affect your grandkids, not just in the courtroom, but in state legislatures and wherever your freedoms are under attack. Right now, your gift can have double the impact. For a limited time, every dollar you give to ADF is matched. So 25 becomes 50, 50 becomes 100. But the matching opportunity won't last forever. It's only available while funds last. So if you believe that your freedom is worth defending, now is the time to act.

Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour on Friday, getting you set up. And, oh, I just saw a headline. I'm going to save it for our next quick five because apparently if you want healthier kids, you should get a dog. Oh.

That's a, I am saving this headline for, I just saw it fly past. More dogs equal more health? Yes. Yes. So if you get like two dogs, you double the chance of health that you would have with the one dog. Wow. And then if you have four, it doubles the chance from the two.

This is a kind of science I'm into. I like this math. Yeah. This math makes sense, right? It's super good. Oh, man. I really don't want to talk about some of this stuff, but it is a slow news day. and also I think it's just important to touch on some of it.

We were talking about Hassan Piker previously and how Hassan Piker has said some pretty horrible things and clearly does not like America. I mean, he's gone out of his way to blame America for 9-11 and say that they, you know, we deserved it. What happened on 9-11? That's him, not us. He's had all kinds of slurs where he's gone off on social.

I don't know what he does. I guess he only, he just sits. in front of a camera, and he doesn't know really any of these issues. He doesn't do the legwork of actually trying to educate himself and keep up with the news and keep up with everything that's happening so he can have like an informed discussion. It just, it's like he gets online and just like runs his mouth and says the craziest stuff about people, and that's it, apparently. I don't know. People like watching, you know, roadside slap fight. So I guess this is, you know, kind of a similar aesthetic. So he ended up, I think he got Asman Gold banned, but the band apparently was overturned.

Asman Gold is kind of an independent but common sense streamer who I think some people would say that he's on the right. I just think he's kind of independent. But he was going off on these, the illegal immigrant invasion in Suda and how it's always been a Spanish enclave. I don't care if it's connected to Morocco via land. It's irrelevant. It's, it's, been a Spanish enclave of the end. And he was talking about how people actually exploit their kids and use them as shields as a way to carry out some of this behavior. And he's absolutely not wrong.

I mean, we've seen that happen to the southern border. I've seen it literally with my own eyes. I've been down there. I've been in some of these detention facilities. I saw a lot of this. So he's not wrong, but then he ended up getting banned for it. But then it was overturned. Meanwhile, you have all this insane, crazy stuff coming out of us on.

piker's mouth and no one says the thing i don't think he's ever been banned has he i don't think piker's ever been banned yeah i don't think he has plenty to be banned over but no i will have to say as mingled kind of in a way sort of looks like he's cosplaying as the western idealization of jesus but he's got a big american flag in the background i like him i mean he's just common sense guy he's just a common sense dude that's it he's not like a super far right winger or nothing like that not in any way like Hassan Piker is. But there are these people, these dudes that are in political pop culture now. So Piker's campaigning with every single Democrat that he possibly can.

They've been celebrating them all throughout this primary cycle. Now they're terrified as to what this portends for a general. They're looking at the subgroups that they've always been able to rely on to turn out the vote. And now they're watching some of these voters walk away from. I was talking about black voters and how they're not really supportive of DSA. They're not supportive of DSA. And in Michigan, particularly, Trump took Michigan in the 2024 election. Now, granted, it was by a small margin.

But that's insanely significant when you look at all of the years Michigan has been blue, and that's considered one of the crowns and the Democrat so-called Blue Wall. We talked a little bit about that earlier this week, the states that have always been reliably Democrat, that Democrats can always count on in order to secure that vote. So that's pretty significant.

And that he took that, and he actually took it, and I was reading this last night and some this morning, Trump took a significant, more so than any other Republican. I think what was that the last Republican was Reagan, I think, to pierce the blue wall.

And Trump pierced the blue wall, and he did it by winning working class voters. A lot of people who had previously voted Democrat, we saw that in 2016. And then the Democrats turned around and decided to excoriate the people that had reliably voted them into office for decade after decade because they didn't vote for the old white woman. So they called all these people racist. That was in 2016 with Hillary Clinton. I know you all remember that. So in Michigan, something similar set up. We saw a lot of that replicated with working class voters, also with minorities, Hispanic voters, black voters, women voters.

And in Michigan, those working class voters and minority groups help put Trump over the top. And that was while he was running against Connell Harris. So that's incredibly significant. So that's why I think it's not as it's not going to be the cakewalk that the DSA thinks it is in Michigan. And they keep saying, well, we're overtaking everything. We're overtaking everything. Their own party's immune system is starting to kick in in certain areas. This stuff maybe sells well online to the radicalized ideological.

on the left, but when it comes to turning out the vote, that's the demographic that tends to stay home. And they rely on their young voters than the more radical of the ideologues to make it up for them. But those people tend to stay home in generals. They only really kind of get involved in primaries. In generals, they're kind of nowhere to be seen, definitely nowhere to be seen in municipal and local elections. And that coupled with the number of people that went to Trump during 24, it's just not going to be as easy as they think it is. Also, if you look, and I was breaking this down in Missouri's first congressional district, because we talked about this earlier in the week when Wesley Bell beat Corey Bush, that's a predominantly black district. I lived in that district.

I've helped people campaign in that district, Republicans, just trying to register Republican voters because the GOP gives up on it all the time. But when I was there, it was the third congressional district. Pretty much the same boundary lines. It's been expanded a little bit, but still gerrymandered to ensure hardcore concentrated Democrat turnout. Wesley Bell was a big Democrat. Corey Bush was, you know, she aligns with DSA. She was utterly defeated because voters, again, majority black district, voters rejected her record of do nothingness. And they thought that Wesley Bell better understood not just the economic issues but also

the manufacturing issues because that district used to be back in its heyday, a big manufacturing base. And that has, I mean, it's since hemorrhaged all of that. It's hemorrhaged residents. It's hemorrhage jobs. It's hemorrhage tax revenue. It's hemorrhaged businesses. And so Bell actually has spoken and has a, he doesn't, he's a Democrat, so I'll never vote for the guy.

But there are, he's a better Democrat than some of the other Democrats, if that makes sense. And I actually think he may be capable of doing math, whereas Cory Bush would literally send her warlock boyfriend after people. I'm not kidding. The warlock thing is real. You should Google it, if you want to laugh. But they were, she was rejected. Michigan is a little slightly different because of the Islamist component. But if you remove that component, I don't think that Abdul al-Said would have been victorious in that primary.

That is why the whole Jewish thing with A-PAC was such a foremost factor in their primary. And in the weeks leading up to the vote, Al-Said's people was like really hammering Haley Stevens. Haley Stevens described herself as a Zionist Democrat, which I think is different than just being pro-Israel. she's a pro-Israel Democrat, but she said she was a Zionist Democrat. And she was besieged by the Islamists there, those who especially were doing a lot of campaigning for Abdul al-Said, including Hassan Piker to bring this tugboat to shore. So they really used that as a cudgel. That element was absent in the first congressional district race. I'm not saying that there aren't Islamist portions of that electorate there, but it is not little Mogadishu like Michigan is, right? And

it's very different. That element was absent there. And I think in Michigan, had you not had that Islamist element, I think that Abdul al-Said would not have been victorious. I really don't. I think it was the Islamism and the appeal to the Hassan Piker rhetoric that put him over the top. So this creates a complication going into the general election because now he has to appeal more broadly and he can run to the center all he wants to. And you can have other Democrats go out there and try to say that it's guilt by association to have someone like Piker campaign with you, but he has verbally shared those thoughts. He has verbally out loud agreed with him and had these discussions on agreement at his campaign stops. And the reason that we know this is because it's been on video.

It's been live streamed. It's been recorded. The videos are out there. So it's not like people are just making this up out of the ether. These are things that he has said and things that he has done. So he's going to be in a difficult spot. And I think it's incredibly important when we're talking about midterms and the rise of the DSC. to compare those congressional districts because the Islamist element is what factored into Abdul al-Said's victory. Whereas in the first congressional district of Missouri, it wasn't. But in Al-Sai, you still have black voters that were rejecting his DSA rhetoric. Same thing in the first congressional district in Missouri.

DSA voters, or black voters were rejecting DSA rhetoric. Because they identify, they want jobs. They want economic issues. They don't want to sit here and talk about Jews, Jews, Jews all damn day. But that's all the DSA offers. That's all they have. So they're going to be a little bit of a pickle going into general. In the meantime, what Republicans should be doing,

that's million, there's million dollar, million dollar audio footage, video footage of this stuff. Now I will say this. On the right, it doesn't help that we have the taint brothers. What? I said it right. The taints.

You know the guys I'm talking about, one of them dresses like a twink. And the other is always in like oddly tailored suits. I think that he has shoulder pads, and I think his suits are, he almost looks like he's in a zoot suit, but I think he does it to make himself look bigger. The Taint Brothers, as you know, that have tried to ingratiate themselves in UFC. One of them claims that he has a fighting record, but then other fighters have said, no, you don't. Here's your actual record.

That was embarrassing. But their guys who, they, isn't one of the taints incarcerated? I don't, the bald one? The Islamist who said he banged trainees. Yeah, I think they're bald one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The one who wears caprice and loafers, stinky, has no shoulders. His neck just goes right into his chest.

It's sad. Anyway, he's in jail, and they've been charged with tons of accounts of trafficking, human trafficking. And all the cases built up from the stuff that they made in video and literally posted online themselves. That's like how libs of TikTok, people attack libs of TikTok and say, oh, you went after this person. when all she does is literally repost the content that they publicly post in the first place, that's the same thing with the Taint Brothers. This is stuff that they actually post themselves and other people see it. And they point to it and are like, wow, this is messed up.

And then the Taint Brothers react like, oh, you're framing us or you're making the stuff. These are, did you not post this? So anyway, they've got all of these trafficking charges against them. So their lawyer decided that it would be smart to say this. this video right here where he goes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio's son. Listen. The boys can't be extradited without the Secretary of State signing off on that. The Secretary of State is, of course, Marco Rubio.

Look, Marco Rubio has a son who plays football in college in Florida right now. One allegation against his son and his son's life is over. So here's the thing. Let me be generous for a moment because that's insane what he's. just did. I think you have to question your legal representation when they actually imperil their clients like that. Let me be generous for a moment because this video was posted, I think what, last night, we saw it this morning. Now, he could be saying in a weird way that he could be trying to argue that the accusations against the taints based on the video that they publish themselves

are false, which doesn't make sense in light of the fact, again, going back to through the video, said video they posted themselves. And he could be saying, we'll see it could happen to Rubio. But it sounds, that's a generous interpretation, I feel. Because why mention Rubio's son at all unless it's a double entendre, a quasi-dublemandant, unless you're trying to say, well, here's an example and also that can be a reality. You know what I mean?

That's kind of what it comes off as. This is the problem when you just run your mouth. And you don't, especially when you're an attorney, and you're not thoughtful with what you're saying. and you're actually creating a mess for your clients that you have to clean up. Of course, you know, of course they hired them. The Taints hired this guy. I mean, they probably wanted somebody as d-baggy as they were.

I don't know. But what a stupid thing to say? I mean, regardless of your views, which, you know, I like to base mine on fact and evidence, like videos that people post themselves in publicly release and admissions that they make insid videos, okay. But why would you do that? why would you jeopardize your client standing by running your mouth and trying to seem like a hard ass? I don't understand this.

That just seems like sloppy and reckless and not serving the interests of your clients. And like I said, generously, you could say, well, maybe he's saying that this could happen to anyone. But that sounds very clumsily worded. And it seems like a tryhard thing to do to make that the interpretation. our partners that help bring you the program. It's Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile.

Be Friday, we're getting you set up for the weekend. You guys want to hear a very funny story. By the way, if you missed anything, download the podcast or find us on YouTube, Facebook, the newsletter as well over at Substack Chapter and Verse. I've got a super funny story for you. Funny, but it seems like it's so sad

in the beginning. There's a Texas businessman named John Gannon who says he feels guys totes betrayed, much betray, after his Venezuelan fiancée, Yasmin Reyes, was detained by ICE at Houston's International Airport. He told CBS News that he's been a lifelong Republican and he has voted for Trump. But now he says he regrets his decision. He kind of looks like an Americanized Ian McShane. And he says, I would never vote Trump again after this fiasco. Listen, listen to this little sound, little bite of sound.

How do I feel? I feel totally betrayed. I mean, you never think, or I never thought a guy like me would ever be involved in anything like this. Eight officers, ice agents, swarmed Jasmine. Detained her, didn't tell us why, and rustled her off into a car. No explanation was given. I was just in total disbelief. Nothing like this has ever happened to me.

You know, I have several businesses. I'm law-abiding, and I pay a lot of tax. What would you say to somebody watching at home who may think, Well, John, he's criticizing the president or the administration on this issue of immigration because of political reasons. Oh, I'm definitely not. I voted for Trump. They are picking up law-inviting citizens.

They're destroying families, jobs. You underscored, John, that you voted for the president in the most recent election, I assume. Yeah, I wouldn't do that again. Not after this fiasco. This is like the Gestapo. I would never have thought the United States would act this way. Go after the criminals. We're all for that.

But leave the mom and pops and the kids alone. Love Jasmine. That's it. I'm sure she's marrying him for his heart. Yeah. Because he's 72 and she's 44, 45? Yeah. Yeah.

So here's the problem with Jasmine Reyes. Jasmine entered the U.S. legally, sure, in October of 2023. She entered under the visa waiver program. But the problem is that she overstayed her authorized stay after January of 2024. Now, she had overstayed, and then she put in another asylum application that was pending. And she had a pending work permit. Pending applications do not transfer legal status onto a person. This is commonly understood by anyone with more than one brain cell.

And that's per DHS, it's public, it's, everybody knows this. Just because an application is pending does not mean it is conferred upon you legal status. You don't have legal status until you have legal status, finalized legal status. She had overstayed the authorized stay. So since January of 24, technically she was not here legally. So what this businessman, John Gannon is upset over, is that, well, I can't believe people that I love have to follow the law. It's crazy. I'm never voting for Trump again because Trump enforced the law that someone that I love does not want to follow.

That is so bad. Yeah, that's kind of a problem. That's a leftist mentality. Rules for me, but not for thee. So that, so he regrets his vote. But he does he not regret his fiance overstaying her authorized stay? No.

Since January of 24. Kane, how much time has passed since January of 2020? I'm going to say at least seven, eight months somewhere in that range. January of 24? Oh, gosh. 24? Yeah. Oh, that's good 30 months now. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's been a bit. So you've had a couple of Christmases, a couple of New Year's, a couple of Thanksgiving's. You've had a lot of time. And pray tell, if you are overstaying your stay and you are nearing the deadline for said stay, isn't it also possible for you to begin the paperwork to correct that before the expiration of your stay, of your allowed stay that's like not something

you do after it passes correct right that's like if your driver's license expires and you wait for two years you can't just be like well I've had a driver's license

two years ago but is it current now well no but I had it two years ago but is it current now is the fact that you had a driver's license that expired two years ago does that confer upon you a legal license? Does that mean you still have, that you're still in compliance,

regardless of whether or not you like the law, are you still in compliance with said law, yes or no? Very easy question. You can't say, well, she had it two years ago. It's not how this works. So, that's some Boomhauer stuff right there. Actually, Boomhauer would do better. What?

But I'm a law in Biden citizen. I'm a law and Biden citizen. I voted for Trump so that the people I love don't have to follow the law. Well, is that all it takes? Because, damn. There's a lot of stuff I don't want to follow. You know, what's also going to happen is I'm also not going to vote for Trump again either. You know why?

You know what? Why? Because he ain't running again. Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right. That's a good point. I never vote for it. Well, good luck, grandpa.

You're not going to have to because he's not going to be. He can't run again. I'm not going to vote for this guy again because my fiancee. couldn't follow the law. And the people I love should be able to break the law because I voted for Trump. And I never voted for him again. Not because he ain't running again.

Because he can't. Because I ain't vote for him again. I can't believe I'm getting ready to say this. But I feel like Joe Biden would beat him in a debate. Also, can we just talk for a minute about the situation that his much younger fiancee, Dana, you're sexist. Yes, because I'm sorry, women are not going to go for an old dude unless they're rich. that is how this is.

You can get mad about it all you want to, but any chick that tells you otherwise is a lying liar. So you're telling me this 40-something-year-old woman is marrying this 72-year-old man because I love his whore. No. Girl, no. You all know that. You know it.

I'm so not true. Yeah, why didn't he marry her already? Yeah. Because wouldn't that have solved the issue? I mean, kind of. I mean, there's still a couple things. Right, but it would have been a lot. But yeah, it would have made it probably a little easier.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. So she's not here legally. And I'm sure she, I wonder if she's going to marry him still now. Right? Notice how none of the, this ABC journalist, this guy, this peach fuzz who's sitting there doing this interview, at no point does he ask, well, is she still here legally? Was she still here legally? Did she overstay any authorized stay?

He doesn't ask that at all. Because the narrative. He's got a narrative that he has to ask. He's got to keep up with that narrative. Heaven forbid, he cannot, he cannot divert from that. Now, Lorraine noted that she had family members that had paid an immigration lawyer in a similar situation to get through the red tape and make sure that there was legal standing. Why didn't Gannon go through that?

Why didn't this businessman? And that's a great point. Why didn't he go through that? he's a rich business man why didn't did he not hire an immigration lawyer to make sure that he's fiance was everything was legit copacetic that it was all going to be all right why didn't he do that no instead can you it's like the Gestapo everything i don't like is hitler he literally compared his Venezuelan fiance

staying two years after her authorized stay thus here illegally and getting detained two Nazis. How was this guy a successful business person? You, sir, are a dumbass. How is this guy a successful business person at all? Oh, my word. But yes, she was here illegally. She entered the U.S. legally, again, in October 23, via the visa waiver program. And she used her Spanish passport, eligible for up to 90 days. Her authorized stay expired in January of 24, around January 21st. She filed an affirmative asylum application with USCIS, and that is a pending case. Now, she did obtain a work permit and a Texas driver's license while awaiting a decision. So here's the problem, though. She did not file her affirmative asylum application until her authorized stay expired.

Because the application is dated January 19th. The authorized stay expired January 21st. So why are you waiting until two days before expiration to file paperwork to extend your stay? That is irresponsible on her part. That's not the fault of the U.S. government. it's not the fault of DHS, it is not the fault of border patrol. It is the fault of this female who waited until her stay expired before she filed an affirmative asylum application. That's her problem.

I don't care if she doesn't have a criminal record. She has one now because she was lazy and did not monitor her official legal status or she didn't just didn't care. I just think that's stupid. That's not anyone else's fault. That's like sticking a stick in the spokes of your bicycle tire. And when your bike falls over, you clutch your knee like the meme and scream, but Trump did it. Trump did not make this chick wait until her stay expired to file her affirmative asylum application. Trump didn't do that.

Trump didn't make her affirmative stay expire. He's not the one that messed any of this up for her. and as DHS noted, a pending application does not confer legal status. So that's it. And so DHS said that, and they confirmed that claims are heard by an immigration judge, they had full due process, but they're not going to ignore the rule of law. That's it. And it was heightened airport enhancement that ended up getting her detained.

So that's her fault. Nobody else's fault. and for this guy to be like, shut up, you sound like a dumb leftist. You sound like everything that is wrong with the society that wants to do everything but not accept any kind of consequences for bad choices or bad behavior.

If I can find it to pull it up. Because I've so many tabs open. Okay, so we played the Texas business guy. Can I just play Mike Rogers going back to Michigan? This is a great play for him. This is cut 13.

He's reaching out to those disaffected people who did not sign on to the DSA stuff. Listen. If you're among the majority of Democratic voters that woke up on Wednesday feeling, well, hopeless, because the person who won does not represent your values, well, just no. There is still hope. Michigan deserves a senator who is ready to sit with you, hear from you, and represent you. The parents across Michigan who won an education center. system that sets up their kids for success. You have a home with us. To grandparents across Michigan

who are heartbroken from watching their kids and grandkids leave the state, you have a home with us. To young people who are looking for real solutions to solve our housing affordability crisis, you have a home with us. To working families who don't want higher taxes and lower paychecks, well, you have a home with us. And to the vast majority of people across Michigan, who do not want to throw their support behind a campaign filled with anger, divisiveness, calls for violence, and the views that are out of touch with your values, well, you have a home with us. The fight is far greater than just left versus right. The fight is for the very soul of our nation. That is so great. And he doesn't sound crazy like Abdul al-Said,

does he? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah, interesting. very interesting. He's not, he doesn't sound crazy. He's talking about issues that affect those blue-collar voters, which can I just say this is something that really Republicans are going to need to be doing. There was this big debate over burritos and stuff, which is the cost, everybody was talking about the cost of food. And I find it kind of nutty. I feel like there are some people that get out there and they act like other people who disagree with them on the cost of living are out of touch, which is not true. It is not true at all.

And it's frustrating to see the argument because I feel like what people think is tough today was actually not tough, like for my parents or for those people who were coming of age in the 70s or people who were, you know, coming of age in the 80s. You know, I have, like my husband talks about how when he was younger, he had to eat government cheese before. Have you ever had government cheese? Why is that such a big thing? Apparently it was delicious, Kane, back in the day. Yeah, we had government cheese back in the day.

Huh. It was like Velvita-ish. Huh. Like American cheese. Huh. Interesting. Yeah, apparently it's like very good. So I saw this, because there were, I, here's the comment that I was looking at.

someone was saying that, well, people in the media and podcasters, they've never had to worry about how they would afford groceries or they've never had an overdrawn account, which is entirely true. But the last sentence was they were getting into people who are flipping about affordability concerns like the perspective that being broke gives you. My point was people who are realistic about affordability concerns are so precisely because they were broke once too, quite possibly to a greater degree than those who mistake practicality with flippancy or who invoke the privilege of brokenness. as an appeal to authority, which is true. I grew up poorer than most people could ever empathize with. Not that I lived in a hovel, but I had a little poor house that my mother rented, and she was a single mother. She unfortunately had my biological father was a Democrat, and that's all I'll say.

But, you know, being raised by a single mother and living through very, very tough times, not even being able to afford notebook paper. I never went and got like new clothes for school. That was not something I did until I was like in college. There was not, that was not a reality for me. I would be lucky if I got, like I remember one birthday. I was actually, I actually didn't think I was going to get a birthday present because I knew we were poor. I was in elementary school and my mom was able, because she worked two jobs and she was able to get me like just like a pink stuffed teddy bear.

That was it. And I love that bear. I think I had it forever until its eyes fell off, not because I was rough with it because I loved it. It was like the velveteen rabbit, you know. But, I mean, I knew, and I never victimized myself. I never looked at myself as I'm such a victim. It's so hard for me. And I'm sure it would have been easy for my mom to do too, but it was just not a mentality

with which I was raised that, you know, it's hard. I was just like, I have the ability. I'm healthy. I'm capable. I'm going to be able to pull myself out of any situation that I find myself in. And that was the mentality that I had. That's just, it was just infused. It was just the mentality of the household.

And everything that I was able to accomplish in life, I had, I mean, I work really, really hard. I have a great team here in radio. I have a great partner in life. That all goes into it. But I work really hard. I still work really hard. I'm not like filthy podcast or rich either. I think people have a lot of misconceptions about, you know, conservatives and their thoughts on affordability.

The reason that we believe the way that we do on certain things is because we know broke. We know broke better than a lot of it. We didn't have iPhone bitching about how we broke. We were broke. Right? That's not how we were. We were broke. Making milk gravy and biscuits and having that as like dinner every night because you can't afford anything else.

I mean, that's broke. I mean, it sounds insane because this was like the 80s, but that's how I was raised. I didn't have a bicycle. That's how I would get a secondhand bike from a cousin when they outgrew it. That's how we got stuff. I remember the first time we could afford the, it was a big deal, I was actually in high school, that my whole family cobbled together and for my one gift, which was all I needed, was a Nintendo. Could not believe it.

Could not believe it. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever had. So I've loved playing games ever since then. I still do. But that's, and I never, but I never made myself easy in my strength. by victimizing myself, right? It was always, do you want to change your circumstances? Then change them.

I didn't come from a rich family. We didn't have any NEPA connections. I had no connections. None. None. Everything was made by hard work. And that was in the 90s. And then going into their, you know, early aughts.

And then now even. So when I see these people bitch and moan about some of this stuff or act like, well, you can't look down on some of them. for ordering a $20 burrito off door to ash because that's hard for them to afford. Shut up. My gosh, it just sounds so entitled and it's making me hate burritos, which makes me hate you. Just stop. Also, one last quick thing before I move.

Why is it burritos? I thought bowls were the big thing. Kane? Isn't it bowls? Aren't there whole entire restaurants that are about like bowls? I don't know if it's as much fun as having a burrito. But yeah, I mean, obviously with the low-carb lifestyle, you're going to go with the but the tortilla is really a better option than like a hoagie roll.

Yeah, but if you get like rice in the bowl, isn't that just, but just have the flour tortilla then? Yeah, I agree. I agree. Yeah, I don't get it. Okay, all right, I'm going to move on because the burrito thing is killing me. If you're a parent or a grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality and sexual

exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing. So that's why I'm grateful for the work of concerned women for a marriage.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So a couple caught in an intimate act on an IKEA showroom bed in front of stunned

shoppers. That's so disgusting. I'm surprised the bed held. But apparently they were caught having a private romantic moment on an IKEA showroom bed. That's disgusting. shoppers were shocked, obviously. Yeah, they even dumped their shoes on the display bed next to them. They put their disgusting dirty shoes.

I'd have dragged them up by their hair. That's just me because that's disgusting. But they were told to leave. I just think the story, Daily Star, by the way, you have more ads than you have actual decent content. So this is the last time I'm citing from your absolute fecal dump of a publication because you don't post it, you don't have enough good writers and you don't have enough good content to have the number of crappy ads that you have, and they're all bad ads.

But this was in Taiwan, and they didn't tell you that until the 16th paragraph. But, yeah, so I don't know what they're, you know. Let's see here. Chipotle, another one, is rocked by a food poisoning outbreak. People ate bad jalapenos because nobody stops defecating in the field. At this point, I'm like, I don't know what to do. I want cilantro so bad. My cilantro got cooked, for whatever reason it did not do well this year.

And I don't have actual good cilantro. I can understand lettuce and cilantro, but jalapinos, their whole peppers. They wash them before they, like, I don't get this stuff. Well, this stuff gets into that cyclospore. It gets into the actual plant itself. So it's not something that you can wash off. The only way that you can actually kill it is by super high,

like cooking at high heat, cooking the plant at high heat or the pepper at high heat. That's the only way you can get it out. But then nobody wants, you don't want to do that to like cilantro on this other stuff. So I don't know. So now they have. that cyclos psoriasis. So it's been Taylor Farm, shredded iceberg lettuce that was sold at Taco Bell. Fifteen other states linked to the outbreak.

Now you got peppers from Chipotle. Wow. We've got to be way better about our food chain here. Let's see. We got more on the way. Don't go anywhere. As we move, our partners that will bring you the program. It's the folks over at WebRut.

One of the reasons that Joaquin Castro hates me is because I noted how back a number of years ago,

he switched spots with his identical twin brother at a Riverwalk parade. His brother was a city council member running for mayor, so he could go to a swanky fundraiser, so he had his identical twin brother standing in for him. Caintony and stupidity. It wasn't the only time that happened. One cut 20. This is WNBA star wishing for their own demise. I think it's trans.

Trans rights right now is our new battle. what I think I was saying that like the battles have changed. You know, like our intentions are in the same, but now that the environment has changed, we see trans people's rights being, you know, stripped away from them. There's a lot of people. Right has been stripped.

The answer's none. So stop with the faux outrage. I mean, look, you only get one ball at once to dribble on the court, ladies. That does it for us. Today, have a great weekend. Find us YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe, Substag chapter and Verse.
