The president in Republicans' position has been clear and unchanged. Pass a clean, nonpartisan funding bill to reopen the government. And then we can talk about all of the partisan issues that the Democrats wish to. If you're watching at home, we urge you to call your Democrat senators and tell them to put our country over their party and reopen the government today. Here in our new media seat, we have Brittany Gibson of Axios. Brittany, why don't you start us off for our Q&A today? Thank you for being here.

Thank you. Two questions. So Caroline Leavitt talking about the shutdown, which by the way, it's a Democrat shutdown simply because they won't agree to, I'm so tired of this. Kane, my gosh, I just want to yeat myself off my roof. But it's what they hated was the big beautiful bill that destroyed essentially their sieve of money for everything that they wanted to do politically. They know now that if they don't make this fight and hold the American people,

people hostage the future the Democrat Party is over. Well, yeah. I mean, it's, this is a bit, you know, I find it fascinating that they're not getting as much, think about this, they're not getting as much support as I, as they previously did. I mean, they're getting, I'm not talking about the press. What I'm talking about is the public. Because the public polling, the polling that I've seen, I mean, it's a lot of it's like push poll nonsense where we have these individuals that, you know, when they,

what push-poly means is that you're basically asking like, wow, so, you know, are you in support of the president beating his wife? You know what I mean? It's a very leading thing. But I really do think that the people are not, they're not buying into it because I feel like people have followed things way closely lately. Even, you know, some of the independents that we always talk about maybe they're not. not always plugged in. You know what I mean? That's, that's kind of, I sort of, I feel like, does it feel that way? I had somebody, actually had a family member ask me this last night. And they said that they feel like there's more, how did they put it? They feel, they felt like

there was more tension. They were talking about this on Facebook and I thought it was a very interesting insight. They felt like they felt that there was more tension and that there's so many things, so many stories and controversies that are flying all around that they're trying to figure out if it's just more corruption or if it's because they think that, because people maybe are seeing it more, which I thought was interesting. The question was, yeah, is there always been this much transgression or are we just more hyper aware and able to easily access the information. And my point was that I think it's both. I think it's both of those things.

And I think it's the hyper availability of social media that has really made it to where you can, I mean, really find out anything. But you can also be misled really easily as well. Let's, you know, I'm not going to say anything about certain grandparents sharing AI videos thinking they're real. I'm not going to do that. But, you know, my point stands. I think that that's what it is. And so my point in bringing this up is I was looking at, now these aren't like the biggest polls and they're like likely voters, not registered voters, all this kind of stuff. But my point in bringing it up is that it really does seem as though

the public is not buying it. They're not buying it. And they are dissatisfied with the excuses that they're hearing from Democrats. And then lastly, I think that John Federman's reach extends far beyond what any Democrat thought it would. I'm actually, I'm pretty shocked. He has a bigger reach than AOC. Think about it. She has a big mouth and she's able to get headlines and clickbait with her surrogates. But who's Fetterman reaching out to? Is AOC, reach a, out to Republicans? No. Are there any Republicans listening to anything she says? No. Is she changing the minds of any independence? No. But look at Federman. Fetterman is not only convincing independence, but he's also making leeway with Republicans who are, who, because he's agreeing with

the most common sense of their points. That's the strategy Democrats should have. If they were a smart party, they'd put all their eggs in Federer. I can't believe I'm saying this, but they They ought to. And I think that has contributed to this as well because the public sees him as not being a zealot, a partisan zealot. And as a result, I think that his thoughts have more weight because he looks like he's evaluating things more fairly. Does that seem like a fair assessment, Kane? Because none of the polling. And the polling that tries to argue otherwise, I mean, there's only a couple and it's so heavily oversampled.

like this MSNBC stuff. This is some of the stuff I was looking at this morning. Nobody believes it. And he's this is Republicans' responsibility. He's one of those rare Democrats that actually represents all of his constituents. It's an odd thing to see sometimes. I got to tell you, I would be flipping terrified if they decided to elevate him and recruit more candidates like him. I mean, wow.

They're never going to do it. This is actually something I can guarantee you that we can talk about, and it's never going to happen because they're so nuts. They're so nuts. It's never going to happen. If they had like Zell Millers and John Federman's and who was some of the other, I'm trying to remember some of these other moderates, they had a couple of moderates that ran in 2012, and that's when they really finally ran the last of the moderates out of their party. They did the whole thing about you can't be, in favor of you can't be pro-life and be in the party. This is stuff that, you know, they've done for a long time. They ran them out a long while ago. There was, I saw a headline also. How did we get here? A reality check for Democrats.

Like other Democrats going, please Democrats. Please. Now, speaking of, I've got some really crazy news in Virginia. We've got to look at Virginia. This is something else. they are fighting over redistricting, right? They're fighting over redistricting and they want to redraw the House maps. Okay, Dana, that's a lot of states are doing that.

Why is that like a big deal right now? Because of their process. Every state does things differently, right? They have different processes. It's a, you know, it's a thing. They have different ways of doing things. Missouri has a different way like Texas does. There's certain things that the governor's not allowed to do without oversight in Texas

that the governor would be able to do in Missouri. It's just very, so here's the thing. They are, this is, it came out in the New York Times. It was confirmed. There were a lot of, there was a lot of talk about this yesterday. Virginia Democrats are planning to redraw house maps and a redistricting push. Now they say that the move will give Democrats two or three additional seats and they're scrambling the last couple of weeks to do this ahead of the November 4th election. Now, why would you at, why in the world, that sounds kind of. kind of weird, right? They got a lot of other stuff going on right now. They've got elections. They've got a gubernatorial election. They have all of this other stuff going down. It's just

kind of weird that this is what they're choosing to do now. Well, there's a reason why. They're desperate because the polling is in for Virginia, for Abigail Spanberger, for Jay Jones. the last minute session that they're calling, the process to this is that it pulls Winsome Sears off the campaign trail. But there's more. It not only pulls Winsome Sears off the campaign trail, the legal loophole that Virginia General Assembly members must follow is that they cannot be charged with a crime while in session. Now remember, Jay Jones is under investigation. That's what this is about. This is Virginia Democrats pulling a Hail Mary for a last-minute session to completely pull Winsome Sears as the lieutenant governor running for governor off the campaign trail and to protect Jay Jones from investigations into his improprieties. the text messages are the tip of the iceberg.

They not only refused to condemn Jay Jones, who was recklessly driving, he could have killed someone. He's the Attorney General nominee. His texts where he was fantasizing about murdering, shooting in the head his political opponents, and murdering their children so that their mothers could watch them die in front of them. Those were his words. I mean, he actually was talking about, quote,

cradling their dead children. So they're protecting him. This is the whole point. The special session meeting is official, and it starts at 4 p.m. on Monday. So the gubernatorial election for Winsome Sears, her campaigning is effectively over. Jay Jones is now shielded for as long as they are in special session. They did not have to rush to withdraw this, and in fact, originally they weren't even on that timeline. but now they're rushing to not only expand additional seats, but they're trying to protect Jay Jones

and they're trying to protect Abigail Spanberger. And in essence, they're trying to really cheat a free and fair election. This is election interference without exception. That's exactly what this is. And so Winsome Earl Sears, she will not be able to fundraise either. So when I say

she can't campaign, she can't do anything. She can't raise money. She can't do anything. Last minute ad buys, you know a couple of weeks before an election, are paramount. Kane, you know how important they are. They're also very expensive. Her hands

are entirely tied now. Democrats, by orchestrating this, the whole reason they did it was to affect the election. This is because Democrats are panicked. Spanberger has dropped in the polls. Jay Jones is getting walloped right now in the polling. And I don't know. Here's the problem. They're gambling, though.

Because they could set up a major backlash in other races for their House of Delegates later on. They are flirting with a major backlash here. And this is something else, I tell you, wow. Chapter is that entity that makes it easy. You hear about, why do you get the whole Medicare enrollment season thing? and I'm not even Medicare eligible, and I'm annoyed by all of the commercials on it. You guys get the, some of you get the mailers and the texts and all this stuff. Look, I get it that you want to make sure that your plan's good and that you don't lose coverage

because it's very important. Medicare plans can change every year. But you still, even if you're happy with your plan, you've got to check what's coming for 2026. Chapter is a partner that will work with you. Make sure you're not over pain. And on average, they save people over $1,000 annually. They review every plan across the country. their advisors are salaried they're not working on commission they advocate for you not the insurance company

and it just takes under 20 minutes to do it end all of the emails and texts and all of it and if your current plan is still the best fit then you're set if not chapter will help you switch no gimmicks no pressure just honest advice from experts who know medicare inside and out dial pound 250 and say the words my medicare it's too important so don't risk it work with chapter a partner you can Dial pound 250 and say the words, My Medicare. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. Target has cut 1,800 corporate jobs in its first round of major layoffs in a decade.

This is a lot. What are they going to do? Because like Christmas season, isn't it like their busiest, it's like their busiest season? What are they going to do? So they said that they announced this yesterday. It's about 8% of its corporate workforce. But if it's corporate, doesn't matter. First off, how do you have that many corporate dogs?

It's kind of crazy. Anyway, I haven't been to Target in forever. They're trying to get back to growth, and they're poised to get a new CEO in February. How many of you think that a lot of this began when they started messing with the men and women's bathrooms? Because that's actually one of the reasons I didn't go back to Target. I've had to go, like, one time in the past two years, because they've had to go, like, one time in the past two years, because they had like a skin I get like mild eggs month

they have like a skin thing that I needed over the counter that I couldn't get anywhere else and I'd go there So if you look at their stocks and when it actually dipped It's it coincides with that time I'm just saying I feel like they need to make a play And then all of the weird alphabet stuff that they were doing I don't think anybody's gone in there Magnolia seems to be at home in it

Let's see Locals are leaving and permits are few Malibu is having a post-fire identity crisis. They don't know what to do. They have wood frames that are rising up from the ashes of those crazy fires that now you just have burned out lots in the palisades and everywhere else.

But they said in Malibu down the road it's really bleak. There's just a lot of caution tape. There's a lot of hollowed out shells. A lot of the houses are not graffiti tagged. I mean it's been almost a year and everything is like frozen because it is impossible to get permitted to do anything.

In fact, listen to this. L.A., which handles most permits, they've only they've issued barely over 40% of permits upon the total of applications received. And this is literally all rebuilding permits. None of it's like new architect, new nothing. It's just literally rebuilding what was existing. And LA County has handed out even less. It's under 26% of the total applications received. Malibu under 2%. They don't want to rebuild. They're doing this on purpose. So people need to move. Wall Street, Donus is expected to hit record as bank profits surge. Interesting. We'll come back to that. Also,

Francis Ford Coppola, who's one of my absolute favorite, says he's broke and he's selling a custom $1 million watch after his megalopolis debacle. You know what? He did the Godfather. No one can touch him. He is untouchable in my eyes. Stick with us. More to come. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Superbeats. You guys are familiar with human and their Superbeats, what makes them different is where it began. Human was founded out of the UT Health Science Center built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. And unlike other supplement brands, human is science born and not just science-ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Superbeats for over a decade, calling it their

cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reason to support healthy blood pressure and circulation. Today, more than 160 college and pro teams use human products. And your favorite team probably does too. And if you've seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's more than a sponsorship. It's a signal from human and UT together leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and for everyone. You can try Superbeats Heart Shoes by Human to choose a day. Can support healthy blood pressure, blood flow, and energy.

Don't wait, pick up Superbeats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with human.

And we stand ready to pick up on that progress and build on that progress when the Americans are ready to have those discussions because it will be for the benefit of workers in the United States, workers in the United States, in Canada's and families in both of our countries.

Now, what we can control, absolutely, is how we build here at home. And that's the focus of budget 2025, generational investment here in Canada. And when we can also control or at least heavily influence is developing new partnerships and opportunities, including with the economic giants. I liked it. It was weird when they were sitting there. They had such a great, it seemed like they had put all negativity behind them. came. That was the

Prime Minister there of Canada. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Ash with you. The chat is at Rumble. Also, the, you can watch us do the radio show, Channel 347, DirecTV. And we have X and Facebook and all that. We're going to get back into the Virginia stuff as well, but

the Canadian thing. So, it came out yesterday that there was this I guess it's like a fake Reagan ad or whatever that they aired that it was Ontario that aired it, correct? And it upset POTUS. I don't even think we probably can't even play the ad because YouTube will ding us. We can't play anything for you because YouTube fights everything and you have to basically hire lawyers and go back and forth with YouTube and we can't afford that. I think we can do it.

I mean, they're very proud of the ad. I don't think they'd have an issue with it. But they're Canadian. Yeah. They're polite, like, on the surface, but some of them will cut you. Yeah. You know, all right, go ahead and play it. Go ahead and play it then.

This is the ad. When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time. But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Market shrink and collapse, businesses and industry shutdown, and millions of people lose their jobs. Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the weight of prosperity for all nations

is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America's jobs and growth are at stake. So it was Ontario, and this is, you know, they're going back and forth over negotiations with regards to what's, you know, tariffs and all this other stuff. So they released this ad and it angered POTUS. POTUS is very upset about this. Let me pull up his statement because he had a, he ended the trade talks with them over this. and this was what just like last night out of yeah i don't know where uh i'm not going to read the whole thing because it's huge uh but he he had well there's a couple of things that he released he had a

couple of few posts but he halted trade negotiations over this ad that used regan's voice to oppose tariffs this is the ontario premier dog ford he's by the way the brother of the other ford guy who looked like chris farley but wasn't and he like admittedly like dead drunk drugs. He was like talking about how he snorted coke and all this stuff. I just, you know, he's kind of like a wild crazy dude. Anyway, Doug Ford said that the president would be, would not be too happy with the 60 second spot. He said that earlier this week and he was correct. And Trump posted the Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an ad, which is fake, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. He said they only

did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts. courts and then caps locked it. Tariffs are very important to the national security economy and of the USA. And based on their egregious behavior, he goes back to caps. All trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. And the Reagan Foundation also hit back. And I think they have every right to do that. They said that it misrepresented.

Now, I don't care if Ontario. Some people were making the argument that Ontario had the right to use the portion of the audio, et cetera, et cetera. That's whatever. I'm not even going to get involved in that. It was, and even the Reagan Foundation says it was a misrepresentation of it. And they said that they had learned that they had created this ad and that it is an inaccurate representation. And it was his radio address to the nation on free and fair trade. And that was back in April of 1987. And it said it misrepresents it and that they're reviewing their legal options. And then they said, you're encouraged to watch Reagan's unedited video on their YouTube channel.

And so Mark Carney and then the Canada U.S. trade minister said they're not going to comment. They'll have more to say today. I haven't heard anything to say anything yet. And the spokesperson for Ford said, well, all it does is use this unedited excerpt from one of his addresses. But was it presenting it in the proper context? and they said that they, the purpose of them quoting Reagan as they were trying to recognize that ultimately somebody pays the tariff and it's the consumer. Now, they're not entirely wrong about that. I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up everybody's backside.

All of this, though, is to see what happens when this play runs because we're still in the middle of the play. Am I using correct football terminology, Kane? Sure. How does the correct, I don't, I want to hear from a single one of you people out there. you're running a play and you're like in the middle of the play being ran Steve's dying are you dying Steve I'm so sorry is that right is that right yeah do they get it I would I would say drive because you run a lot of plays in a drive so I'll go this drive you just really broke her brain so wait it it's a it's a you're are sorry men are you driving the play or playing that drive what it's a drive down field right you run a play

to drive downfield. Okay, okay. I just want to make sure I have this correct. So we're in the middle of a drive? Yeah. Okay, all right, all right, right. So I, okay, good, I got it. Learned something new today.

But we're in the middle of it. So I want to see how this plays out because it's all about equalizing these trade relationships with all of these other entity, all these other sovereign entities around the world. That's what it's about. So why can't we? And of course, you have to have these negotiations, and we have to get these numbers nailed down, and that's what we're doing. So I feel like a lot of people are trying to rush that. Believe me, I want to also, because this is where, yes, some consumers are getting hit with higher costs as a result of that.

I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you for political advantage or clicks. And the people who do, you know, they're just doing it because they want your eyeballs, but they don't really care enough about your minds or hearts. So the point is, though, that the purpose of the drive and all of that being completed is for it to benefit everyone, including the consumer and the United States, at the end of it so that we have better trade deals that are permanent. This is using tariffs is a tactic and it's not a permanent one. And it's to be short term. That's the whole point. And I understand that argument.

What concerns me is when it drags out and when these negotiations drag out. And it takes longer and longer and longer. So now we have, because we already have double digit tariffs on steel aluminum, auto, lumber, copper, all of that stuff. And he wants to renegotiate the U.S. Mexico, Canada, free trade agreement. But he said, I'll be open to abandoning it. I think that that's a leverage tactic for him in negotiations. So that is the, this is the purpose of it. And the ad that they played, do you think it's enough, Kane, that I understand what they're doing?

Is it enough of an offense to be like, well, we're not going to talk to you anymore? That's a good question. I mean, that's also, you know, I guess subjective as well. I mean, if Trump believes that Canada should just, you know, essentially respect the idea of what Trump's doing with tariffs and he just is like, what? They're clearly trying to spread lies about what I'm doing here with tariffs. So you guys just ended, you know, ended the talks. I mean, I think it's reasonable from one perspective, but, you know, I guess you could

say that maybe it might be a little over the top. I mean, I look at it kind of both ways. Like, it's over the top, maybe. I can understand that. But also I can understand with, I'm tired of messing around with you, you know. I'm not going to give you the colloquialism that my mom uses where you need to act or nothing. You can kind of understand what I'm talking about there. But I mean, will it work? Now, here's the thing that's different. You kind of have to have a different approach with every one of

these countries. Now, I don't want anybody, because we have some Canadian friends, and I'm not trying to offend you. I'm really trying to offend the progressives there that keep voting for these unhinged people that do these stupid things that anger allies, but whatever. You have to be heavy-handed with countries like Qatar. very much so. You got to be heavy-handed with countries like Venezuela. That's why he can say stuff like that, you know, where he's like, yeah, well, you know, yeah, well, whatever these boats, yeah, and they're not going to mess around or blank around with the United States. Canada, they seem very passive, aggressively polite. You know what I mean? Are they brutes? I don't think

they're brutish. I don't think they're brutes in terms of being in brutality. Are they passive aggressive. Oh, totally. Yes, they are. But I don't know will that same tactic work because, you know, the people are very, it's very, you're talking about a very different demographic than you are about an entity in the Middle East or even Ukraine or even Russia or anybody else, very different. So I don't know, it seems like a universal kind of approach. And I don't know if that's necessarily the approach that's going to get you the return on the investment of that action as quickly as you would like, if that makes sense. So I don't know. But whether or not they come back to this, you know, I just think, and I'm not defending Canada,

but does it's, I mean, we jokingly say that Canada's America's hat. Do you think that angers them? So do you think that they're with and they're right to kind of push back? Or is it because they used Reagan to do it. Yeah, look, I'm all about anybody trolling and doing whatever politically. I just think that this is all part of a larger plan. I just can't help to think this way because, you know, Trump wants Canada to be state 51, you know? I don't. I don't want their voters.

He would love that. Oh, hell no. And Trump has. Importing millions of progressive voters? Oh, absolutely redacted. I mean. redacted or no. We have millions of progressive voters here. So we're going to double it? We're going to make it worse?

We'll be doubling. Hell no. I don't want any of that maple syrup Marxism. But it's clear. It's clear Trump definitely is one of this. And he's called for this in the past, them being the 51st state. They already know that without the 200 billion plus that we were in the negative every year with Canada is essentially going to have to force them to do something. And I think this might be part of that bigger play. This is Doug Ford, cut 17. He likes it. He's going to keep doing it. He says it's the best ad he's ever seen.

Oh, Canada. Yeah, well, I heard that the president heard her ad. I'm sure he wasn't too happy, but it's real because it was coming from the best president, the country's ever seen Ronald Reagan. So it is. It's very effective. It's probably one of the best ads I've ever seen. And it's coming from Ronald Reagan's voice.

And it's going to be focused right across the country. also in Republican-held areas, because what I feel, the Reagan Republicans are going to be fighting with a MAGA group. And let's hope Reagan Republicans. Is there that much of a difference, though? No, there isn't. Why do they keep trying to insist that there's that much of a difference? They want that internal divide. They want it. I really don't think a lot of foreign politicians understand what, now, is there a difference between Republicans and MAGA? I think so. But I think it's more candidate focused rather than party focus. And I think that's fair to say. Just like there's a difference between conservatives and Republicans. Right. Like, for instance, I do not consider myself a Republican.

Never have because they are way too left for me. They're left. They've been left for me on guns. They're left for me on taxes. But I don't consider myself a libertarian. I just, I'm not a joiner. I don't know. But I vote Republican. I don't know. We'll talk more about this because I feel like That death, that would seem like a sloppy sciop to divide people. I don't think it's, I don't know. We got more on the way as we rolled towards the conclusion of this first hour.

We have days of these United States coming up. It is the folks over at KELTEC, the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun. If you're in the market for a shotgun, check out KS7, the Gen R8, the second gen. It's packed with upgrades. You have a five-slot Picatinny-style accessory rail.

You can add vertical grips lights. Keep it flush sleek with a cap if you want. It's a smoother pump action, so you have faster, cleaner, cycling, plus enhanced durability. All the original advantages are there, the ultra-light weight. It just under 7 pounds unloaded, compact bullpup design, maneuverability, and tight spaces, ambidextrous downward shell ejection, 7 plus 1 capacity for all of it. Great for home defense, arranged days.

It works well for season shooters and first timers. MSRPs just 639, so it's super affordable, all accessible, well within reach. Check it out. It's from Keltakweapons.com. E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. It's the K-S-7 Gen 2. Tell them that Dana sent you. Get the lowdown on the latest news

with a side of laughs. Whenever you want, subscribe to the Dana Show podcast on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. Like Sands Through the Hourglass, so are the days of the United States. For America, for any of the evening.

No kings. Here's my song. It's about no kings. I'm always with him. Whenever I hear Bruce Springsteen play, I'm like he's either constipated or he's having a stroke. It's never, oh, that's a song. if you like Bruce Springsteen I'm sorry

that you do not that I have this opinion oh my gosh welcome back to the program he said I want to if you couldn't if you couldn't understand the springsteenism he says I want to send this out as a prayer for American in our unity no kings well what what what king is there I mean the fact that you can do this is sort of indicative of they're not being a king. Join me on my shows in England. Yeah, go do, yeah, go play that. Oh,

remember, they had to change it. They couldn't even call it a no kings rally in England. They had to change it to no tyrants so they didn't upset the monarchy. The same thing, every other country that has a monarchy, they had to go, no, we're going to change it to no tyrants. We didn't want to upset the actual king. So they're just admitting that they can say no kings in countries without Kings. He's like the early, he's like the prototype for the Eddie Vedder singers. Can I just sidebar for a moment? How horrible was it in the 90s after, like, look, I get a lot of people like Pearl Jam.

I don't dislike Pearl Jam, but I do like, I do dislike the Eddie Vetter vocal affectation that so many people try to copy. And then you just had a bunch of an army of derivative male vocalists that all were like, all of them were like that. Kane, you don't, you were in Ray. You know they were all like that for like a period of five years. There was an era. Yeah.

It was so crazy. Everybody. All right, we got a whole second hour coming up. Our friend Carol Roth will be joining us later as well to take us to class on a lot of the ranch wars, et cetera, et cetera. Stick with us. It's our partners that help make it possible. It's the folks over at Ammos Square. They have you covered for all of your ammunition needs.

It's a very worry-free, easy, simple. solution. You're collecting ammo for the future and you're avoid getting caught empty handed. Everybody remembers panic buying of 2020. Everything, all the shells are empty. Ammo prices like basically cost a kidney and everybody regretted everything. There's some bad, people settled for some bad stuff. I remember you can choose from over 70 calibers, set your monthly budgeted ammo squared and then let them curate your supply automatically. So you set up, forget it, ship it when you need it. And it's all stored in a secure climate controlled facility. It keeps your ammo fresh and safe. until you decide to get it delivered. There's no minimums, no hidden fees. You get free shipping on orders

over $250. Great. If you're trying out new calibers, you want to top off some training rounds, stay ready for whatever comes next. And you can join over 100,000 members like me and a community with thousands of five-star reviews. My only regret is that I didn't invent the business. Visit Ammosquare.com, secure your ammo supply for the future. Do not run out when it counts. Stock up before training. Restock after it. Just stay ready. square.com tell them Dana sent you. Let's go back to 2020 when he said that the election was stolen from it, it wasn't. And it was Michael Flynn that told the president, and he repeated it, that maybe they should

just seize the ballot boxes with the military. Maybe they should go to where the ballot box and then they should count the votes themselves. Here we are in 2025. he is becoming more unpopular. He is likely to lose the 2026 elections. And he's sending troops into American cities and particularly in blue states in blue cities. What is he, so wait, J.B. Pritzker is is accusing POTUS of sending in checks notes, the military to seize ballot boxes at midterms. Did we? I feel like I saw this. before. I've seen this movie. I saw this movie during 2021, Kane. That's when I saw this movie

with the ballot boxes and all that stuff when you had the Biden administration and everybody else telling everybody. This is telling states how to control their elections and all of that. I mean, basically seizing the, I'm just saying, I feel like we've seen this before, Kane. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this. first hour. Here's, go ahead. Well, here's what I say. I say we count all the ballots, do it just paper-wise.

I mean, so Trump can't cheat. That's right. So Trump can't cheat. That's correct. Let's just do paper ballots. And everybody has to come and show their ID because we got to show our IDs to make sure no one cheats for Trump, right? Make sure you show those IDs because, you know, people may cheat for Trump,

Democrats, so you better let us have the IDs. What? I can't find a USB drive with votes on them later. Can't do none of that. We better make sure that signatures match on mail-ins, you know, so that we don't try to cheat for Trump. If you don't do that, I'll totally cheat. We'll all cheat. So you better make us have voter IDs.

Otherwise, we are all going to cheat. I mean, I'm not saying definitively, but we will. You know, just saying. I think that makes sense. Yeah, me too. I like that idea. I'll do that. So I voted yesterday.

I early voted. I don't really like to early vote as much as I can. I try to vote the day of. I'm doing it today. Only because I'm very combative and I like to walk past all of the leftists and be very theatrical about going and casting my vote against their interests.

I'm not kidding you. That's why I like it. Because that's when they're all there. And then you get the news crews there and all that. I love that. So that's why I usually like to do day of. But there's a lot of, we have our elections coming up, local and municipal. And so I early voted yesterday. And you early voted yesterday, too, came?

Oh, today. Sorry, today. There was no line. And one of my favorite things ever is how the people that work the polls, they're volunteers. And they're so excited to see you come vote. And it's so great. I love it. They're like, oh, thanks for coming to vote today. And I don't know why they sound like they're Minnesotan, but in my voice. But you know what I mean? They're very nice. Like, oh, They're so happy. It's like they've been waiting their whole lives for you to walk through the door and cast your vote. They're so great. And then when it's like somebody who's voting for the first time at our polling place, they make a huge deal of it. Like, oh, we got a first time voter.

First time voter. And it's like being at TGI Fridays. And then you get flare. Like first time voter sticker. You know, you get the big sticker. I almost want to lie and say I'm a first time voter so I can get the big sticker. But it's really, but they're so. week. They go, oh my goodness. There was no line. Walked in, voted, and nobody votes. These are the

elections that really count. Look, these elections, these local and municipal elections, these are the ones where later on, you might be determining picking a Senate candidate based on, you know, people who came up in this election. This is when you make a vote against the baddies. This is where it really, really counts and you got to watch. So it went and voted and there's only like one person standing outside with a sign. I think the rest of it will kick into gear for election day. But yeah, I like going on the day of. So we really need day. I use paper ballots and day of. And then, you know, have, you know, military vote with their absentee ballots, things like that. I get, I understand it sometimes with college kids and with, with, you know,

having mail and ballots for them. I understand that because not everybody can get back. But I think it needs to be very strict, very regulated, and there need to be a lot of safeguards. and more than just like the signature matching and all of this stuff. I mean, it just, you know, it should be tied to your driver's license online or something to that effect where you can just go in through the,

I don't know, maybe the portal, something. But anyway, long story short, there was no line at the voting place yesterday. I got my sticker. Got my I voted sticker.

Do you save your sticker, Kane? No, I typically don't. I regret not saving mine like a book at star. Yeah, That'd be nice, like the old days when you used to collect stamps and stuff. Yeah.

Remember those days. Some of the kids who weren't there in the early 90s, they don't understand the bookets. So that was an elementary school thing where you had the Pizza Hut Booket program, literally book it. And you, the person who read the most books got a pizza party at the end of the semester. Wasn't it like by, like, by, you know. It was a personal pan pizza you'd get from. No, but you would, but if you won the most in your grade, you got a pizza party. Oh, yeah.

See, I never saw that. grown up for me. I think my kids got involved in that, but I think I totally did. I already got out of there. There is nothing. Some of you out there are like me. You're negative, some people respond to negative

or like criticism and that motivates them. I don't even care about it. It just rolls off me. And the positive reinforcement though, I'm very much like Trump in that way. Like very, I am exactly like Trump. What am I talking? I am exactly like Trump in that way. That's where it was like we recognize

these. other positive reinforcement all the way I totally respond to that but if you're negative I'm like you're a bot anyway but um my whole point is that the book at program was that optic you had that optic satisfaction every book you read you got a star on the chart and I wanted to have the most stars I am a box checker I'm the star and a lot of you out there are like that you know what I mean right you want the sticker you want the whatever oh my gosh when I would get like an a on a paper and my teacher wouldn't just put like a sticker on it, it would be the scratch and sniff sticker. Kane, the one scent that brings me back to elementary school is the scratch and sniff root beer sticker.

And you all know what I'm talking about. What? There was no scent on earth that can match that. The scratch and sniff root beer sticker. And when I got that, it was, oh, oh, man, I wanted to save it. I ended up, I did get a, I did get a pizza party one year because I had the most books that semester. And then the next semester, I remember I ended up getting the flu and it knocked me out of first place. And I was just, I was livid. And I was really trying to like rack it up. But I was like

two stars behind, two books behind. Isn't that crazy? So I lost it the other one. But I love that book at program. I even still have the button. I kept that button. I had a word of wear it one day. I kept the button that I got with it. It's, I literally have it in my jewelry. box. But I remember my kids thinking and felt like currency in their hands when they had that little, you got that little coupon for the free pizza because of the, it's like money. It's like the golden ticket from Willie Wonka, man. Got the golden ticket. All right. So a few other things to, uh, to hit on here. The, I mean, oh, let me pull up my rundown because I totally lost it. Oh, so Graham Platner, by the way.

Can we just revisit this? Because there are some updates. You know, he used to be, well, not used to be, he said that he became a communist. And he worked with one of these gun groups that arms and works with Antifa. So he had the Nazi tattoo on his chest and he covered it up with a bad dog. Well, then it looked like he had another tattoo on his arm. And at first the picture that came out was that it was, it said the, it was only a partial view of it. And it said 1919.

And everyone's like, well, can we talk about that other Nazi tattoo? Because isn't that like the numerical thing for SS? So, and apparently that's, yeah. So he, he, it ended up being like a trail crew thing. But you can't blame people for questioning the provenance of it. considering the first one was a legit a Nazi tattoo. He did this video where he said,

oh, I didn't realize it was. But people that he knew and was friends with, they all assert that he would brag about this is my this is my Nazi tattoo or what do they call it?

This is my Toten Kampf. And that it was apparently corroborated by other individuals. They said that people who socialized with him when he was living in Washington, a decade ago that he specifically acknowledged that it was a toten cough, the death's head symbol

that the SS adopted. And those were the ones that patrol the, they later patrolled the concentration camps from World War II. And they were telling the press like, oh yeah, he would come out and say, this is my toten cough. And he would say it in a cutie little way. Huh. Wait, but those are the people that always say we're the Nazis. but they have a little I mean he so I believe that I believe and because there were several people that came forward and they were like no he knew what it was yeah exactly he had staff who actually his campaign manager or political director resigned last week over her objection to whatever comments he was putting on on Reddit and then later put out a Facebook post that said Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest and explains all of it he apparently offered he was trying to pay off his campaign chief he offered he offered them $15,000 to sign an NDA. I think that was this one. She declined and she was the one

who resigned. So he tried paying her off. He offered her $15,000 to sign an NDA. And she wasn't going to sign the NDA. So they had a, he had a new campaign manager. They got a new campaign manager this week. And he brought in like an in-house attorney. By the way, the, the in-house, he brought in a firm called Spruce Street Consulting. which apparently also has worked with Zoh-Zoran Mimdani. Hmm. Interesting. Now, this is separate from all of the social media stuff that he had because he would run his mouth on social media all the time.

I mean, he promoted super violent stuff on online before, on Reddit and elsewhere. There are a lot of screenshots of this stuff. You know, he'd talked about, um, The way he told it to CNN was that he was just messing around on the internet. That's all. But I don't know. Some of the posts, he was in the socialist, the socialist subreddit called Socialist R.A. It's the Socialist Redditor Rifle Association.

Oh, by the way, they're different from the Socialist Rifle Association. They're two totally different types of D bags, right? One is a capital D and D bag, and the other is the lowercase D in D bag. And so he said that he agreed. First off, he said that people should be willing that people should talking about the workers, because he talks about workers party and all that. And they should force, I guess, the people that they are submitting them into, quote, abject slavery. He has a bunch of stuff.

I'm not even going to read all of it. And some of it I can't even read on air because of the language. But, I mean, it is, he talked about urinating on the graves of Republican. Well, that was Jones, Republican opponents. And apparently he was supportive of him. There's a lot of stuff out there that he has said. And regardless of whether he said it in 2018 or now, what it does is it establishes a pattern of behavior. And that's enough. That should be enough for disqualification. I mean, the guy is there, I mean, this is like what, the second dude

running for office now on the East Coast that's completely unhinged, Jay Jones and then Platner. I mean, this is crazy. We got a lot more on the way as we roll towards headlines already in this third hour, good grief.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick 5. Sad news, soft sells Dave Ball, dead at age 66. His bandmate reveals that he's been ill for a while. He was announced that he died this morning, or actually yesterday evening. His music partner in the other half of the group, Mark Allman, had posted on Facebook, that he went peacefully and asleep, no cause of death was given other than he was dealing with an illness. We, I mean, we just saw them like a month and a half ago. Soft Cell in Dallas, they were fantastic.

So, man, is that, right? That seems, especially because people are living, like, in our 90s now. That seems way, yeah, that seems like, that's like a baby anymore. That makes, like, people in their 20s, like fetuses. All right, so teen, a teen uses social media to drive business at this pharmacy's soda fountain. I haven't seen a soda fountain, like a, like, where they run at old school. When I was a little kid, where my family was from in the Ozarks, they had a pharmacy and it was old school, and it was on an old-timey Main Street, and I used to go in there as a little kid with my grandma,

when she would have to pick up medicine because you get your medicine there, and then they had, it was weird, it was like a CVS, but like with a lunch counter. And I would literally get like a milkshake or like a root beer float or something there. and they had the hats and they did the whole thing. It was very interesting. So apparently, yeah, this dude, he drives all of his business at this pharmacy. It's in Canada. But, or not Canada. Sorry, it's in Iowa.

Autumuma. I totally said that wrong. Don't send me hate mail. But he's worked there since he was 12 and he used to deliver medication and then he took over the soda fountain's operations and he drives, like he gets tons of business just from social media. Good for him. Look at it. Let's see.

A Kent police dog helps corner. helps corner a domestic violence suspect after a motorcycle chase. That's a very good boy. Police, they arrested a man who had assaulted a woman. He tried to escape on motorcycle, but he was no match for the canine, who canine officer Flesher and his police dog Gambit. They tracked him and found him. And Gambit quickly apprehended him.

So he should get like lots of treats and extra pets. and a lot of people are going to gigs, festivals, and clubs alone. I've never done that. Steve, have you ever gone to a concert by yourself? Okay, we got to talk about that. All right, we got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. America's tap water is a cocktail of heavy metals and toxins.

The result of corroded pipes that we should have replaced decades ago. Let me just ask anybody in Flint, Michigan. You got lead, heavy metals, rust. Basically, liquid poison right out the tap.

Mary. Thanks, careful. Two quick construction questions, if I can't. You mentioned any construction project comes with changes. The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Now he says to do this properly, he realized that the East Wing had to be demolished. This is the People's House. Why not inform the public of that change and when it was decided that the East Wing would have to be demolished?

Look, again, with any construction project, changes come. we have informed all of you. We've been keeping you apprised of this project. We've shown you the renderings. And if you look at the renderings, it's very clear the East Wing was going to be modernized. Instead, in fact, I said that in the briefing when we initially introduced this plan to all of you and to the public. But Modified is tearing down to each other things. Well, again, the President, the plans changed when the President heard counsel from the architects and the construction companies who said that in order for this East Wing to be modern and beautiful for many, many years to come for it to be a truly strong and stable structure. This phase one that we're now in was necessary. And the president wants to do right by the people's house. And so that's exactly what he's doing. It's going to be, again,

like I said, much more stable, strong, secure, and more beautiful than ever once it's complete. And where will those be? The first lady's offices, the social secretary of any. Hmm. The list of people, and that was Caroline Levitt, who was going back and forth. There was an ABC reporter about this. I mean, I do remember they said that there was in the beginning that depending on what they found when they got into the initial

demolition of the outside, the little car park outside, they were waiting to see whether or not they would have to do more, take down more of the structure than just that. And then apparently when they get in there, when they got in there,

considering when the east wing was built. It was like what the 40s and then they did other renovations in the 50s. They actually that was like back when they used asbestos. And the

asbestos for this literally me pull this up because I had this last night. There's like a whole advocacy group for it in terms of construction. They said that there were concerns because it's over the east wing with back when it was originally built,

in the later additions of it, that was apparently at the height of the use of asbestos in construction. And that, I mean, so that required apparently them to do more because they needed to get, you know, they had to do testing, asbestos they had. And I'm actually, by the way, Lorraine just posted literally what I had in front of me right now, because they had a whole abatement that they had.

It was EPA, OSHA, and also, they were working with Clark Construction and AECOM with worker protection and all of that as a result. And so they had to actually do more to get some of that other material out. And then by the time they got at that point, they said, you know what, why don't we just reinforce this and use this? And so it ended up being actually easier to do it the way that they're doing it than not. And we do know a little bit about construction because my husband worked in construction. He rehabbed a city block in downtown St. Louis. It was a major project and built this amazing studio and condos. So we know about construction.

I mean, we lived it. And they had a whole, they went through this whole exact same thing too because there was asbestos and the building when they were rehabbing it and all of that. So I know the process of it. And it's a big process. And sometimes when you get to a certain point, you're like, okay, it's just better to just go all the way instead of go through this, for the lack of a better way to put it, the whole abatement of this. It's just easier. And so that ultimately, and I remember when they said, they said, they never

said that there wasn't a possibility. They just said that it could happen, but they need to see when they get in there what they find, and then they'll go from there. So it's not like, I just, I just reject the argument that everybody was kept in the dark about it. The people that are the other people that are funding it, I mean, it's the people's house and we're getting a free ballroom. So let me just go through the names. Altria Group, Amazon, Apple, Booz Allen Hamilton, Caterpillar, Coinbase, Comcast, J. Pepe, and Amelia Fenul, Hard Rock International, Google, HP, Lockheed Martin, meta, meta platforms

Micron Technology Microsoft Next Extra Energy Planetier Technologies Ripple Reynolds American Team Mobile Tether America Union Pacific

Railroad Adelson Family Foundation Stefani Brody the Betty Wold Johnson Foundation Charles and Marissa Saskarilla

Edward and Sherry Glazer Harold Ham Benjamin Leon Jr. The Lutnik family the Lara and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation Stephen A. Schwartzman Constantine Sokolov

Kelly Leffler and Jeff Sprecker Paolo Taramani Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklewalsz they were Facebook guys. Interesting. Those are all the people and entities that have been donating to this.

So where is this because that was the other accusation that taxpayer dollars have been going towards this. And the project has been in the works for a long time. So this is, I mean, New York Post published the list of all of the other donors. Hakeem Jeffries, we played that audio for you yesterday. He said, oh, we're going to have an

investigation. We're going to get to the bottom of all the people involved in this. Well, for what purpose? For what? For what? Because they, to send them a thank you card for a free ballroom, I was asking a friend of mine that was in the White House press pool and does all this stuff. It, this actually is needed because it is true that the East Room cannot, could not, they can't accommodate more. They can barely accommodate 200 people. Definitely cannot accommodate more than 200. And depending on the event

And, you know, like if you're like all the stuff that's going on in there, you may not be able to get 200. So what they used to have to do is, and what they still have to do right now is they would have to erect a giant tent on the South lawn and hold the events in the tent at the South lawn. And one of my friends was saying, gosh, it was awful when it were rained. And, you know, they didn't like being a member of the press and having a, they're like-minded and having to cover this. if it was like cold, if it's rainy. It's just, you know, it's not the most ideal situation. So when they had a state dinner, when the last state dinner that they, so when they had a huge state dinner, I think this was like maybe back in, when was this, when they had the president

and first lady of Kenya, they had to go outside. They had to have their event outside. So imagine you have to put a tent on the lawn and everybody goes outside to eat. And yeah, you can have space heaters and all of that, but is it the most comfortable? is it the best? So, and they've been, I mean, this has, you know, been happening for a while. There's a lot of drawbacks, especially when there's an issue with the weather. They have issues with bathroom facilities because you've got to, you've got to make-shift stuff when you have a tent on the lawn. This is actually something I do agree with. And I'm very particular about taxpayer dollars.

This isn't even taxpayer dollars. It's all privately funded. See, the other stuff that other previous presidents added, I would say, maybe with the exception of the creation of the East Wing originally. Everything else has been for presidential use. The Clinton's added a music room. The other presidents have added bowling alleys and pools. Gerald Ford added a pool. He wanted an outdoor pool, not just a lap pool, but a pool that he could swim in.

You had Obama put in a basketball court. You had others put in tennis courts, all kinds of stuff. I mean, a lot of the stuff that they put in previously was stuff for their own personal use. this is something that's actually going to be used functionally for the White House. And because it can be a mess. The, and my friend was saying, because my friend has had to cover these events before, and my friend was saying that it's kind of a mess,

especially if it's raining when you have inclement weather. And it also kind of, some people have said that it, People think that they're going to a state dinner at the White House, and then they realize they're not even going into the White House. They're going to a tent outside. And it is very expensive to get the kitchen stuff out there and set up the kitchen. And then they have to redo and basically put down turf every time they do one of these events. Also, where's Marine One land?

Because Marine One always lands on South. lawn. So what happens when you got a big event and it's out there on the South lawn and you got you can't, that's where Marine One lands. So, and when the tent is up, Marine One can't land. And the state dining room, if you look at going inside of the state dining room, that maybe, I think they said as like 120, 10030 guests, state dinners, when you have leaders that come in there, that's a lot more than that. And they actually were, they made space, they were trying to make space even during Reagan's era in that East Wing. And the East Wing is a lot of unused offices and a lot of space that's actually not even entirely useful. So the bathroom situation, that's a whole other thing. And they can

make it look really pretty out there, but you're outside in a tent and everybody knows it. And you have to walk outside to get into the tent. And they put the carpet down and all that stuff. But you guys know, ladies, you know how it is. It's not the best. You got wind, breeze, humidity, everything else out there. All these people go to this event to look nice for it. And then they go out there and you're out there in the humidity. You're out there in the weather. The bathroom situation is abysmal. It's a mess. No matter how you do it. So I actually think that this is a good move to so that way you can actually have a proper state dinner and the White House can hold these events. And a lot of the other rooms in the White House, I mean, they're at capacity as it is and always have been originally. So why are people,

why is this such a huge issue? It's privately funded. Everybody who's donated to it has been made public. You know how much has been donated. The president has also donated his own money. it is something that is going to be utilized pretty heavily for all events at the White House. So they don't have to move out antiques and historical artifacts from other rooms to accommodate people when they're trying to get as many people in to these other rooms for state events. So I have zero issue with us. I don't see one negative, Kane. I do not see a single drawback from any of this. I don't know.

Yeah, my friend, who by the way is very, can be very antagonistic towards government spending and even private donations because she always thinks they're trying to buy favor, which is, you know, which is true. It was like, this has been so, so needed for so long that it is actually like one of the best things like this, forget about the Rose Garden. this is the thing that's needed. So I get that. I get that. And he also put up the flagpole, too. But this is going to, this is going to be used by, you know, future administrations for, for years. It is so needed, so needed. We have more on that way. We've got Florida man coming up. I always believe in carrying. I have no problem throwing lead down range towards anybody that poses a threat to me or my safety, my family safety, et cetera. To that end, though, I also realize you've got to diversify your weapons array. One of the ways you can do that is with a

burn a gun. This is, I think, you know, especially for those college students that are under the age of 21, they can go overseas and carry full auto in defense of their country, but they can't carry it in defense of themselves over here while they're living alone going to college. It's assinine, but here we are. So this is where I would suggest a burner SD or their newer one, the compact launcher. Burn a gun shoots chemical errant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And unlike ordinary stun guns, this thing is a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge, whereas stun guns have like maybe one or two rounds. It is super compact. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition, and you have a lot of options because it's illegal in all 50 states.

There's no background checks. There's no permits. They sit it right to your front door, so it's accessible for everyone. Always give yourself a chance. You carry different calibers. You carry blades. There's no reason why you shouldn't diversify when you are restricted municipally or with private property restrictions. It's B-Y-R-N-A-com slash Dana. It's the Berna-C-L. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida man. I like the people who hide their drugs in bags that say no drugs. And then whenever they're stopped and they get searched, they say, no, there's no drugs in here. Look, it's a bag that says no drugs. This guy tried this with his house. So a man with a no drugs allowed sign on his house was charged with trafficking. Highlands County Sheriff's Office said they arrested John Moss 76 years old.

Not all old people are innocent. Kane hates old people hearing. He says old people aren't innocent over there. They said that there was literally a placard, not just like a handwritten sign, like a professionally done sign, that said, quote, absolutely no drugs. allowed on the premises. They served to search warrant on the home. Oh man, this guy was trafficking, oxy cotton

stuff I can't pronounce. Morphine, meth. He had a lot of meth, all kinds of stuff. So he was a baddie. But he's in jail multiple accounts of drug trafficking and no bond. That's what I'm curious, like, did he put that sign up? Do you think with the

purpose of the cops showing up with the warrant going, oh, wait, the sign says no drugs allowed? We can't, you know, there's no drugs here. Might as well go home. It's all done, guys. We don't have to worry anymore. It's all done. I'm just, you know, I'm wondering. All right. Also, a Florida, a woman mistakes a Florida man for her Uber and he kidnaps her. You got to be careful, man. Uber drivers, they, they, like 30 million trips per day worldwide. Usually there isn't an issue. But this Florida woman mistook a silver SUV for an Uber. She got into the vehicle. And then when she realized, she was in the wrong car, the driver would not let her out. And now the sheriff's office down there's was looking for a man in his 30s in connection with her attempted kidnapping and Kissimmee, Florida. And according to he missed, she misidentified the man. She thought the silver SUV was her Uber.

And the driver was sitting there smoking dope at the time, offered her a ride. She got in and they went. And then he wouldn't let her out. He began making lewd and inappropriate comments. She demanded that he let her out. He would not. began panicking, screaming, and tried to get out of the car to escape. He sped up. So she tried to open the door. He sped up, which threw her off balance and she fell out of the car while it was moving. She was able to take a picture of the SUV and send the picture and describe the man to the police. But wow. I mean, always check those license plates, y'all. Always check them. And then ask your driver's name. Don't ask if you're an Uber. Don't ask them if they're an Uber. Don't ask them if they're an Uber. Ask them for the name of the driver.

Like, are you, you know, whatever? Are you Stan? Are you Joe? Are you... If someone gets in my car accidentally, I'm not going to try and kidnap him. I'm going to tell him to get the hell out. I don't know what this guy was doing. Well, he's not.

Also, like, who sits there in idols and your doors unlocked? I don't ever do that. I have got... I mean, my doors is locked. Then I don't unlock them until the person is their handle on the door. I just... I don't know. It's crazy.

Let's see. Last but not least. A Florida man was arrested after his toddlers were pictured with guns, beer, and dope. Yeah, Taylor Canoop or Noop? I don't know. Florida was arrested because apparently he was charged with child neglect. The children were placed with relatives. He's the dad. And he apparently had all these photographs of his babies, like actual like two-year-olds and like a nine-month-olds with guns and beer and drugs. Wow. He got way way in trouble with that.

Well, we are not in the top 30 in terms of our murder rate. Indeed, our murder rate has been cut in half over the last four years, and every year it's gone down by double digits. And if you look at all of the violent crime over the last four years, they've all gone down. U.S. cities, 17.47 per 100,000 population. Chicago is number one over

Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego. What I'm explaining to you is when you want to fight crime, look, you can pull statistics up. These are murders. I'm explaining to you that our murder rate has been cut in half. And very importantly, Brett, and you've got to hear this. Very importantly, we've been doing the things that are necessary to bring crime down, right? We've invested in community violence interruption. We've invested in police. No, they haven't, actually. In fact, the clearance for these cases have dropped dramatically as well, meaning, you know, going after prosecuting, solving the felonious, you know, felony crimes, et cetera. That's J.B. Pritzker, who was on with Brett Bear, and it's hysterical

because J.B. Pritzker is going, well, yeah, like, we cut crime. We don't, nothing's wrong anymore. And Brett Behr's like, yeah, well, here are the receipts, and you're number one in terms of homicide, your tops. And Pritzker's like, well, that's just a lie. You know, we don't care about your receipts. It's a lie. We cut it in half. It's cut in half. But you're still number one. You cut it in half, but you're still number one. Imagine if you hadn't reduced anything, right? It's insane. These people are insane.

But this is, that was his excuse. They, I think he's very far removed from the reality that happens on his streets every single day, every single day. But I actually, I mean, they're cut in half and still number one. Why does the, why is the murder rate? the highest of all time. We're not in the top 30. Yeah, but here's the map. And then here is the, all of the crime data as it's tabulated by your actual law enforcement agencies. And he's like, you can put up all the statistics you want. We've cut our murder rate in half. You're still number one, lunchbox. You're number one. You cut it in half, you claim, and you're still number one?

I would have not have gone past that. I don't get mad at Brett Baer because he did. You have to realize that, especially with some producers and, you know, some of the bigwigs with network news, they don't want you to stay on that topic forever because they don't think it's good television. They want you to get past it. It's like when, you know, fighters are kind of like hugging it out when they're resting in the ring. It's like sort of, that's how they view it. So I get it, but I wouldn't let him go. I would have just stayed on him. Like, wait, we can't go.

I mean, they're still number one. they are number one in terms of murder rate murder and shootings murder shootings all crime violent crime whatever they're number one i i and they i even with now i will say they do have a reduction they had a reduction with some violent crime do you know how they had a reduction with violent crime you just it's crazy but if you don't report it then it's wild it goes a wrong way. Isn't that wild? If a crime happens and you don't report it, did the crime happen? That's their whole MO. That's their whole thing with us. So they've done that in California. I mean, they've had since when Pritzker became governor in the city of Chicago, I mean, since 2019, you've had over 4,000 people

shot and killed. It's all like gang activity. Drugs and gangs, drugs and gangs. Drugs and Kings. Now, a lot of people say St. Louis. Oh, well, St. Louis is actually, well, hold up, hold up. That's our hometown. I take exception to that. Yes, St. Louis has a but ton of crime. That's an actual quantifiable measurement, by the way.

It has a ton of crime. But the reason that St. Louis City ranks number one is because St. Louis City is not incorporated into the county. That's why. So they look at number of crimes per person, you know, per person adjusted to the population. And so it looks incredible. incredibly high. Now, it's very high. It's definitely the top five. But it's not number one because

of the only saving grace is it's not incorporated. It's very weird how the city and the county are set up. The city has its own government, its own, its own everything. County has its own government. It's on everything. It's very odd. Kane, isn't it? It's difficult to explain that to people who don't get it. The downtown numbers, as far as people living downtown St. Louis, have dropped dramatically thanks to Democrat policies, unfortunately. And so as a result, the percentages are larger. That's the reason. Yeah, that's it. That's why.

But Chicago number one murder rate. And when he was saying that it was dropped in half, I mean, it's not actually dropped in half. He only reduced it. I mean, I wouldn't, I would think, like, doing the math, I think it's like barely 11%. He's like, oh, we cut it in half. It's not, he's trying to imply that he cut homicide by 50% he didn't.

And then he's trying to act like it's part of, the decrease is because better policing, they've actually have hindered policing efforts and they declassified a lot of crimes and they just don't report things. Their clearance for these felonies is like abysmal. I mean, it's not Detroit's, which is at 15%, but it's like in the 20-something percent. And this idea that that is some big win for him? Can you imagine? No, you're you're still number one in murder. Yeah, but we cut it in half. So what up?

You're number one in murder. That's not a. Do you need to get past you being number one right now? You're number one in murder. Oh my gosh. It's still pretty bad. I don't know. I mean, what is it?

Like 17, isn't it? I was looking at the rate. This is per 100,000. Isn't it like 17? Something like that? Yeah. Over seven. Over 17.

Oh, yeah, it is. Over 17. I'm looking at, oh, really bad guys. And the latest budget, they've actually asked the Chicago Police Department to come up with $98 million in cuts. Because they're spending so much on their policing efforts came. They're spending so much on their policing. And that is a true story. They wanted a $98 million.

They're having a city budget crisis in Chicago. How is that possible? I'm just so confused. How is that possible that they would have that? I mean, it's, everything's doing great if you listen to J.B. Pritzker. It's kittens and sunshine up there. Everything's so good. They have all this time on their hands to go after ice.

Now, the Chicago police superintendent, Larry Snelling, was saying, guys, public safety is going to be, it greatly impacted. If you cut $98 million out of our budget. budget because they have budget deficit they keep they keep spending or sorry 92 million they keep spending like crazy they've they've spent on entitlements and on illegal aliens that's what and then they spend it uh on busing people up to go and fight with ice speaking of which this is cut um looking at what cut this is because they had a fight with ice in chicago they keep having these situations where you have the ice agents.

I think it is cut nine. We have a million cuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is a security guard. There's a news crew that is, and this is actually in California, but this, we, there was video that we had just the other day of them, again, attacking a facility in Chicago. This is in California, which is just like, I mean, Los Angeles is the same as Chicago. They were attacked during an anti-ice program.

protest watch. I'm to asking me where I was going and stepping in front of me. You identify yourself as a Trump supporter or supporting ICE or? I support neither. Okay. That makes no sense to me. I'm sorry, man. I appreciate that.

Do you need us to call somebody? You should report this. Yeah. He got bunched in the face and battered. And he's a security guard who was just there with a news crew. He was hired to work to accompany a news crew and he was attacked by the protest. at an anti-ice protest in California. So, I mean, I don't know.

I get why we're having all these. This is the reason why we're sending National Guard in is to protect these facilities and protect these agents. And that's the way it is. Man. So you know the debate that I have to do. I have to do a Second Amendment debate where I'm going to be debating Alan Dershowitz in Chicago

of all cities on gun control. Actually, the question is, is, and I'm not going to give anything away. It's about the Second Amendment and safety, which I think is kind of a leading premise already. But that's, we'll have more at the time, we'll have more later. But Chicago's interesting because Chicago is also one of those cities that's fought against Glock. And we've talked a little bit about that because they're discontinuing these models and they're switching. They're basically, let me, put it layman's terms. The courts are bullying a company to alter their product because the

criminals that they will not arrest won't stop doing illegal things with them and to them. I think that makes sense. That's it. That's it. That's the explanation. And California, AB 1127, there's a ban, the Glock sales ban. That's going to, I mean, that's about to become law. They passed that in 2022 after they had the shooting that was in Sacramento. And remember the individual that was behind that, this was a guy who had been in prison and he was let out six years early because they had passed Prop 57. Again, this is all restorative justice nonsense. So they let this criminal out six years early. And of course, that criminal who was already ineligible by way of his previous convicted felonious activity got a Glock and you can't modify you can't put these

switches in it that's already there's already federal law that bars that and so he illegally against existing federal law and against existing state law and California modified it modified something that he was already ineligible to possess and then he went on a shooting spree a gang shooting spree to kill a bunch of his rivals. And now all the people in California, law-abiding gun owners who own Glockes, are going to be banned from purchasing them because the California justice system failed the innocence. California let this guy out six years early after they already had given him a very light sentence. And then what does he do? He immediately goes and previously and goes and continues to commit more felonious activity. I'm going to tell you, the people who

are going to murder are not going to be deterred from a low-level gun law. They don't care. They don't care. And a lot of them, they get them tossed anyway. Now, Gavin Newsome, because this legislature, he could veto it, but the legislature, I don't think, has overridden a veto since, like, 80 in the 80s, early 80s. So, we got some issues here. That's ultimately why that happened in California. In Chicago, it's not any different. It's the same situation in Chicago because they were, they were suing Glock for the same reason.

You have people who are ineligible to carry an inanimate object. And then they illegally, because it's already against federal law, the inanimate object. and then they use it in more felonious, in the commission of more felonies, and then the law-abiding gun owners are the ones who get punished. That's the story of the Glock thing. That's the Glock. That's the story of it. Just asin.

We have more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this hour, and then Carol Roth will be joining us later. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program.

So a doc was a... I do not want to... Oh my gosh. Okay, if you guys had to get, not saying that you would, but if you had to get private park surgery, would you go to visit a doc who did it from the back of his 1990 Toyota Corolla? What? No. Just, are you sure?

I mean, I get that people have done weird stuff with butt injections. I don't know. So this doctor was arrested. He was performing illegal male copulatory organ operations. literally out of his 1990 Toyota Corolla. Yeah, his name is Pitaio Moolin. He's the shady surgeon. It's an on-the-go genital enhancement.

It's what he's doing. And it was in Bangkok. And there's a video of him legit doing it in Bangkok. And it was in a beaten-up, I mean, 1990 Toyota Corolla. And then sometimes the customers would report him to the police. I guess they were unhappy. but he Pearl

I don't even know what Pearl implantation is I am not Googling that and apparently I mean they were literally going under the knife in his gray sedan parked on the side of a road Yeah Yeah and

He did not guys He didn't even sterilize anything Oh my gosh He goes I've been doing this for about a year I don't know what a pearl implant is but he charges for it Oh Circumcisions and then the enlargement

Injections They enjoy Oh my gosh It's like filler for your Willer I don't even know The erection Oh my gosh

Okay I don't even understand What this is Rectal oxygen delivery They're trying to make butt breathing a thing I swear to you guys This is

It's a Nobel research Nobel Prize research Because is many animals break through their backside or are capable of it? I don't know. This seems so stupid.

What a weird collection of headlines. C cucumbers apparently do great. That's great. That doesn't mean I want to because the C cucumber does. I'm not even going anywhere. There's like drawings. I'm not. I cannot do that.

I cannot do this headline. I feel like Casey Kasem. I can't go to a dead dog out of an uptempo song. I can't go talk to Carol Roth about math and talking about this. Stick with us. Brighten up your timely news

consumption with a Dana Show podcast where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. So I think at this point, we should all be all in on what's happening. I mean, we had four years of a lot of mischief and sluggish economy and everything else and a lot of fake money. So we have to deal with a little bit of pain to have some gain, right? And I think we're going to have to just do that. I think, you know, this, this shrimp or guy was interesting to me. I loved hearing that because our industry is the same. We have the lowest beef herd that we've had since 1950. And that is because so many people have gotten out of the industry over the years. And if we would

have had this fair trade and our marketing would have been better when we could have exported more of our beef, I don't think we would have lost all these farmers and ranchers. And that's going to take some time to rebuild. And this is something that POTUS talked about. He had put out, I guess it was a tweet, well, it was reposted on X from his true social account where he was getting into the ranchers. And he wanted a little, he wanted some more credit for what he's been doing to help the ranching industry. But this gets into this currency swap with Argentina. And Kane and I have been talking about this at length on break all throughout this week. Because my perspective, and again, I'm not an economist. This is why we bring on experts like

my next guest that we're going to get into. Because I'm immediately looking at a currency swap and I'm thinking, is this? Is this a loan? Heaven forbid, is this a bailout to libertarian, will I? What? And I, and then I know, you're already looking. Stop with the, stop it. I'm asking the questions.

Just smiling, that's all I do. So we're like, you know who we need to bring on to explain all of this to us? Like, we're three. Carol Roth, who's like way smarter than at this than all of us. And she's got great hair to boot. on top of it. And you guys know our very good friend, Carol. She's absolutely lovely, and she is a recovering investment banker, entrepreneur, TV punant. New York Times bestselling author, and make sure you check out her newsletter at carolwroth.com slash news. Carol, it is so good

to see you. I'm sure you're about ready to pull your hair out at all of the questions, like the ones that I just asked, because I know what I know and I know what I don't. And I know it's not exactly a bailout, but it really seems like one. So clarify this for us. are we doing? What is this currency swap with Argentina? Okay, first of all, if you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be in the media explaining currency swaps with Argentina, I'd go, there's no way. But this is where we are today, Dana, so I will do my best. A currency swap is something that happens on a pretty regular basis. It's when we want to affect change. Maybe somebody's currency is struggling. We're trying to create

a situation where we don't have a global financial crisis. Typically, central banks will have this swap line available where they trade currencies and then trade them back at some fixed price in the future. This is a little bit different with what's going on in Argentina because we're not doing it through our central bank, the Federal Reserve. We're doing it through the Treasury through something called the ESF, the Exchange Stabilization Fund. And we're not doing it with a country that's more stable that we usually do it with.

doing with a country that, you know, has some, some bigger issues with their financial footing. Now, there is a political reason, but that political reason has a real reason behind it. So if you're hearing some of the other media, you're saying, okay, there's a big election that's coming up in a few days in Argentina, and we're doing this to support Malay's government. And, you know, in a sense, that is very true. But we're not doing it because we love Malay's. hair, although we do, we're a big fan of big hair or, you know, to be nice. We're doing it to protect our interests. So this is not about Malay so much. It's not about, you know, Argentina. This is about China. Bottom line, this is about China. And it is about the fact that Argentina holds a ton of

resources, including lithium. They're one of the top lithium deposits in the entire world, as well as some rare earth elements that we need to produce things like products for our defense and the like. And these are things that China is trying to move in on. And so what we're doing is we're trying to get China out of Argentina, frankly out of Latin America in a broader sense, shore up access to these very important elements and commodities that we need access to. And so the price of doing it is doing this currency swap, which again, Treasury is doing. They're not, they don't have to get Congress's approval. They don't need to get Jay Powell on board.

And this is something that they do from time to time where they go rogue. And Scott Basson goes, I'm smarter than you guys. We have to do this, you know, for the broader agenda. That is a great explainer. And she did it in like three minutes, not even three minutes. That's why Carol Roth is the best if you guys are just joining us. Because that, because we're, I was looking at all this. I'm like they're, because I know Trump was looking at bringing in additional beef imports,

and it's all about, you know, ranching and beef. And little lost in this is the tollhold that China has been trying to get, not just in Argentina, but also, you know, South America, Central America. And they are, you're right, loaded with those resources. So they can't be too happy about this. Yeah. So basically China's had something called the Belt and Road Initiative. And they have deployed their capital to other countries.

They have made loans, they have made investments because they want to have access to regular infrastructure. They want to have access to digital infrastructure and they want to have every country in the world beholded to them because they saw what was happening in the United States and they decided to make a move knowing that our financial foundation was quite broken. And they've been doing that in their own neighborhood and now they're coming over our hemisphere. And they've been doing that for a while. And it is really at the point in time where we have smart people who are going, this is a national security risk. This threatens our economy.

This threatens our ability to defend ourselves. So think of this, you know, whether it's, you know, importing the beef from Argentina, it really has nothing to do with the fact that there's a shortage. It has everything to do with sweetening this deal so that Argentina will get on board from blocking China, from making a bigger move, a bigger investment in that country and having that toehold. So this is our own version of doing a little bit of this belt and road. And I think as the global financial order starts to shift, we may see it where China basically dominates its hemisphere. And then we try to have that toe hold in our hemisphere.

And I think that's one of the things that the Trump administration, very wisely, by the way, and you know that I'm not a fan of every one of their policies, but very wisely in this case, is doing and setting us up for the future. And hopefully, because, you know, we go in four-year cycles here, four years from now, we will have an administration that continues with this policy because this is a long-term threat to our country, and we do need to shore this up. So that's what it's all about.

There's a lot of noise about it. It's not about beef. It's not about, you know, a bailout is not about anything else. It's about securing America's future by having these strong allies, having access to resources and not, letting China take over the world. So if you don't want to speak Mandarin in the future, this is a good thing. I love that explanation. First off, Bravo, to Carol Roth. This is why she does what she does. That's, you know, our hats. If I had a hat, a hat's off. Because that,

then that makes sense with this other stuff that I was seeing, all of, like the swarm of these headlines that I'm going after, and Malay go, oh, he's got a bailout. He got a bailout from IMF. This is another, this is just basically debt. But it's not, unless it turns active from what I understand the whole policy. But that they're really trying to go at him because he's such an ally of the U.S. Now that makes sense when I see the swarm of these headlines that are attacking him and calling him a fake libertarian. Yeah. And you also have to again go back to the fact that this is being done kind of off of the traditional books. This is this ESF, ESF, is exchange stabilization fund that is used. And it's been used, you know, throughout history when we had the Plaza

Accord where we needed to strengthen the Japanese yen and weaken the dollar. That is what was used with this particular fund when we had to bail out Southeast Asia a couple of decades ago because it doesn't require congressional approval. It doesn't require the Fed to get on board. It's something the Treasury can take to enact policy that is deeper, that is more long term that deals with these kinds of things. So if we have a situation where Millet's government is weakened and there's no longer this allyship with the United States and you get more people who want to go deeper with China. Again, that's going to be really bad for us. So is, you know, is this in effect trying to help sway that election? Absolutely. But it's because of this long-term relationship that we

want to strike. And it's because we're trying to protect our own national security. It's asymmetrical warfare in the financial sector. That's really what it is. I mean, that's that's such a great, that's such a nice little wrapper that you've created there. It's only because you set it up, Carol. You just set it up and I just hit the ball. That's it. Now, is Congress going to take, this might be a dumb question because we're talking about Congress. Are they going to take the opportunity to say, oh, well, now that we're doing these,

maybe we can reduce some of these regulations and some of this oversight that we have that drive up the cost of farming and ranching domestically. I mean, it would be great if they could do that. Well, that's a great thing. So if we kind of take this other piece aside and we talk about. the issues that are affecting our ranchers and the other people or farmers, people who are producing our food, there are so many insane barriers and regulations that make it more costly and more difficult for them to do business. And if you want them to not only be able to feed everybody in America, but maybe do more exporting to the world, the easiest way to do that is to reduce

these regulations. I mean, there are so many things that I hear, you know, people want to buy something from their cousins farm in a different state and they can't because of some, you know, silly law, that is the way, you know, forget about the tariffs and the imports and whatnot. We can deal with this issue at home and just make it easier to do business, which, again, makes all of the sense in the world. Now, do I have a lot of faith that Congress is going to go, yeah, that makes sense. We should definitely do things so that we can continue to grow our economy and shore up our food supply. They've never proven that they have any level of common sense to do that.

But everybody that is listening has a voice and has the ability to call their congressmen, their representatives, and to tell them that these kinds of things are important. And if you get like 20 people to all call the same day, they think it's a hair on fire problem because nobody actually calls them about anything. And all of a sudden they get 20 calls. This becomes an issue. So we need, again, to put pressure. We have so many protests in this country about absolute nonsense, but the things that are important, things like supporting the people who feed us and reducing barriers and letting small businesses get back to work.

You know, this is how we continue to have growth in this country. This is how we continue to have prosperity. It makes all the sense in the world. It's an easy thing to do. We just need the political will. And that starts with our own voices. Absolutely. And there it is. Our good friend Carol Roth. You can find her. Get her newsletter. You can find her online on X.

This is video of a trans player on a high school volleyball team spiking against the other girls. None of the other girls can do that.

but that one can because she has balls. That's why. Like, don't you just hit this ball? That's what it is. That's what just happened. Now you have two California high school girls that are sitting out of their volleyball game, cut 34, due to a dude being on their team. Watch.

They're not playing. They're sitting there. They don't want to play against the dude. They don't want to play against the dude. Because there's a dude out there. I wouldn't want to get hit in. head by that dude. Would you?

As a woman, no. I mean, he's like their height in the air because he's a man. Yeah. That's why having a man on women's sports teams is so insane. We're going to look back hopefully on this point in our culture and be like, the hell was happening. I do that now. Well, yeah, but I mean, maybe some of the people in the future that supported are going to look back and go, what in the world? Like, what were we doing?

I've seen the point online, which is hilarious, where it's like, oh, you just want to put trans athletes in. I'm going to bet on the trans athlete boxer. Why didn't even think about that? You know what? Hold up. Hold up. I take everything back. No, shh.

I take everything back. No, I like this now. The FBI's all over this game. No, shh. No, they said it's totally. Hey, Steve, that's legit. Now, if the dude is going to be, just saying a boxing match against a chick and you're betting, it's not illegal to make a bet. True.

There's no trans athletes in professional sports for a reason right now. I mean, just saying, we're horrible. It's like having like, I mean, women can't compete at the same level in men's league. So it's like you would have to get like a literal Sasquatch to go then and play in the men's league. You know, like an actual bigfoot, just shave it and then put it on the men's team. And, you know, he can't really verbalize beyond some, you know, chirping and howling. But it's a dude.

I think we just found it. a way to make a lot of money gambling. No, I'm all for this now. I'm going to start gambling in sports. I will bet on the men against the women in the sports leagues. I think that's a good bet to take. I'd take that bet. Yeah? I mean, imagine all the Olympic sports. I don't need no special glasses. By the way, following the NBA betting story is exhausting. All of the things these people did to cheat. at gambling. I have never wanted to win anything so bad that I would go through that extent.

Like they have special glasses to see the card. Special glasses. It's like James Bond. Look at this. You can see everything. It's like James Bond. This is insane. You can see all of it.

They got it all marks. You'd wear them. Wait, if you're sitting at a poker table and you're wearing sunglasses, no one else is going to go, No, I mean, that's kind of a common thing. Well, you're playing poker. You don't want people to see your eyes and you don't want to give those tells that normal people give. I got to do is just hold those emotions. I could just sit there and stare.

I wouldn't have no idea. What do I have? Nothing. I have a horrible hand. All right. Today in stupidity came. All right, Juan, this is cut 11. This is actress Jennifer Welch.

Not making much sense here. Listen to this. I know. I mean, like, Stephen Miller is a white supremacist. I mean, he is, and he's basically running the White House. They keep Trump busy with his decorating projects. He's got building the arch now. He's got his overall design.

Who is this woman? Who is this woman? Hold on. Keep going. Listen to this. Real anti-Semites, true white supremacists like Stephen Miller. And even though he's Jewish, she's like a Nazi Jew. Oh, for the love.

I had to Google her. She is an interior designer. Why is she on? Who cares about her opinions on politics? By the way, like, you know, have your injector be more precise. Have a great weekend.
