Welcome to the program. I don't really watch a lot of, I don't really watch a lot of podcasts. I don't because when you're in the news all, when you're dealing with news all day and reading everything and processing everything when you're done with work, you're done, right? It's like if you work, like when I was in college, if, you know, when I was working as a waitress through a college, working as a server, I didn't want to go home and continue to do it on my downtime. You know what I'm saying? So you do different. you keep yourself from getting burned out. You do different stuff.

But I happen to see this. And if you've ever wondered how people can rile themselves up and be such propagandist, there's apparently a Gal Sharpton fan. And these people were on some kind of, they were on some podcast. And they were regurgitating the nonsense, I guess, that she discusses on her show. Like, she never has the deliverables. It's always chasing conspiracy theory. after a conspiracy theory and none of it's ever put to bed ever there's never any actual receipt it's

all just smoke and mirrors but if you've ever wondered well who are the people that are buying into it into this nonsense well it's this it's cut 15 this is one of the craziest i'm not going to be able to get to this whole clip because we'll all feel like we're drunk without having had a drop a liquor this is cut 15 those theories okay so he can either so either his wife erika kirk was in on it or like in on the conspiracy and she's in hiding with him. So we got some Candace Watchers. Or yes, 100%. We know.

We know. Okay. We know. But we don't know, no. You think. You don't know, no, but we know. It's called a think, no, no, no. No, we know.

So either his wife, because she's got ties to child trafficking. What? She does. Based off of the work she did with children. She was kicked out of, what was the country? She was kicked out of the country. for it. Yeah. So,

country. You got to know this, Doc. It was like Slavia. Slavia? Where is it? Where is it? Slovenia? No, there was a country that she did like... Ukraine? Wasn't Ukraine? No, it wasn't Ukraine.

She did... Don't look at me like that. I'm legit. I mean, we just name all the... I'm just waiting to... I know. I'm trying to remember the country, but she was kicked out of the country. She was doing like adoption work for little kids

that don't have parents. And they were going... missing and so she was kicked out of the country so Erica kirk you're saying i'm alleging you're alleging is a child ringleader she's she's in on it and charlie didn't die because of that no so she's okay so she's was basically his handler and either he this is there's two different theories okay so either she was his handler he found out about all her bullshit they just like a classic Christian couple of God? No. No.

The, so, okay. What he was preaching? Well, in the, in the, okay, in the video where he's being shot, it wasn't actually him, it was a hologram. Oh. There was a trap door. There was a trap door. And he, so the hologram got.

But you don't actually believe this. You're just having fun with this. No, I believe this. Well, I believe one of two theories. That's one of the theories. I don't believe he's actually dead. Okay. And the other theory would be, um,

Well, I've got... Well, now I understand why you guys can't talk about things because you guys are, like, scary with your brains. I'm about the trapdoor. That you think so, yeah, the door. There was a trapdoor. They covered the trapdoor up after, like, right, either that night or the next day.

That's the cover up people. That's the average candy land listener. Right there. That's the, it's all these, like, basic bees that are trying to act like, we're not racist. We listen to a black podcaster. Look, that's them. It's the cover-up people. I know she got kicked out of the country because she's trying to find there were kids that had no parents. None of that's true. None of that is even remotely demonstrably true. That is so ridiculously, egregiously insane. And they were sitting over there. There was a lot more to that video because

they were like, yeah, the Nazis aren't so bad with this guy, the big cross on his neck. Yeah, I'm not see that they're bad. that. Oh my gosh. First off, they're a married couple correct. What husband's allowing his wife to run her mouth like that and showing her ass like that on a podcast looking absolutely ridiculous? My husband would have come in and been like, yeah, we're not doing this. This is done. We're done. We're done. Get, go on, go. That would not have been happening. Oh, my, we have a deal. See, like he does that for me and I make sure he don't look, he isn't dressed dumb when he goes out. That's the service that we perform. That's what do I do. I that's real and those are real people and there are

real people who actually think these things. These people have no idea. They've never met Charlie Erica. They've no idea who these people are. They are so excited to act like they're part of something. It's like mommy sleuthing. It's the true crime fanatic mommy sleuth. Sip or Sliff. And they, that's like I guess what they do in their free time. Other people crochet or they do charitable work. But some of them decide to crash out on social media with conspiracy theories and persecute, you know, grieving widows and then make fun of scripture when they're called out on it because they hate God. That's the funny thing. I've never seen so many people when I gave, when I was quoting scripture about widows, I've never seen so many people that hate God.

And Gal Sharpton, who hates God? And I judge that by her behavior, mocking scripture and laughing about it and laughing at scripture and laughing at the word of God and making fun of God's word and all and just thumbing, you know, finger in the air. That's pretty bad. Like, oh, man, there's going to be such a divine reckoning. And I'm so glad that we're not going to be anywhere near that. But it's true. I am just, it's, that's, so if you wanted to know what kind of people are buying into it, those types of people are, that's exactly who's buying into it. And they're all just like useful stooges because it's all an op. We've talked about this before. You have communists.

and Islamists that are trying to undermine the West. You have the Chinese that are poisoning the algorithm. You have Russia that's absolutely trying to get a hand and trying to pervert Western Christianity and the Christian and the church here in the United States because they want an Eastern type orthodoxy like the Russian church, where the Russian church exists to just sanctify everything the state does. It's not about bringing people closer to God. It's about justifying whatever the state does. That's the whole point of it. And so both of these things together, they understand that the rudder on the hand of the right has been Christians, and they're trying to pervert that, undermine it as another multi-prong effort to undermine the West. And you have all these mommislooth out there that are like

going right along with it and helping it along the way. It's insane. But the sad thing is, is that they're so pick me desperate to act like they're a part of something that they're gossiping, which is a sin, about people that they don't even know. They haven't met any of these people. They don't know them. Some of us actually do. That's why we're like, how are you like, this. What in the world is the matter with you? It's just, it's, it's, there's just nothing to it. Now, speaking of defending people, cut 18, WMBA, Sophie Cunningham, who's viral video, that is a meme that I'm going to use forever now. She rips into the league into WNBA for not protecting her teammate, Caitlin Clark. This is cut 18. Watch. So during real time last night, I did not see that

happen. And like I don't, none of our teams saw it happen because I promise you if if we would have seen that happen, we would have had her back. Unfortunately, this type of it happens every single game to her. And the league and the refs do absolutely nothing about it. It's been a minute since you got fined on this podcast. I have. But then like you see the videos of like literally kneeing and in, in cheap shoting C in the throat. Like if she did that to any of our teammates we'd be pissed. But like they are they're definitely targeting her and the league and the rest do nothing to protect her. And that's Sophie's right. Sophie Cunningham is right. It's so unbelievably egregious. And then you have people out there saying well, like this, cut 17. This is

stupid. This dude saying that well, the WMBA would be better off without Caitlin Clark. Watch. The W at this junction in time would be better without Caitlin Clark because she is a bigger distraction than she is an additive. An additive. You mean an addition? Grammar is amazing. The necessary threshold they needed. Now people are watching. All right. I can do. I'm sorry. He lost me an additive. You mean addition?

How is she? No, it's the other players' behavior that's the distraction. It's these jealous bitches that are the distraction. And coaches and refs and league leaders that aren't out there saying, broads, you need to straighten up. I mean, you basically, have a bunch of chicks having a jealous

crash out on the court because Caitlin Clark is the best player in the league and she's bringing eyeballs and they're so angry. They're insane. That's why. That is why. So, I mean, I feel bad for her.

She looks, I mean, it seems like she's not allowing it to affect or diminish her love of the game. but I mean, man, it's, you feel bad for her when you see all of this stuff. I love that her teammates are speaking up for her, though. I love it. And as Kane said, yeah, you were saying what?

Her distraction is what? It's putting eyes on the WNBA. They should be kissing her feet. Yeah. Her white feet. White feet. Her white size 10 feet. Because she's basketball player.

I mean, and I love that, I don't know if you, one of my favorite things to do is watch. Sophie Cunningham throw checks around. She's like, what's her face? The Holland, the guy, the player, Erling Holland. She's like the Erling Holland of the WNBA. She just beats the crap out of people. I love it. She's like the Tony Twist of the WNBA.

Remember Tony Twist? Man, Tony Twist was a legend. This video, I just, golly, the video of her pointing is, and there's so many angles of it. But the, okay, yeah, Juan's going to show you this one. she always has the upper hand. Like even this other chick, their arms are the longest arms I've ever seen on ladies. But Sophie keeps her hand higher.

She's like, no, no, uh-uh, no, point, point. They lost their mind. She didn't say a thing. She didn't shove nobody. She didn't hit nobody. She just pointed at them. And the whole damn league lost their mind. Oh my gosh.

I love it. That needs to be a T-shirt. It really should be a T-shirt. It's so great. So that's, you got to love it. I wanted to get one more thing in if I have time. And let's hit John Fetterman, cut 10. We'll give him the final word on Democrats this week.

Listen. You know, our party's becoming an orgy of socialism. And I think I've been vindicated with to see the way these elections are working out. And now I'm watching the Colorado one where she's the one person who refused to describe someone firebombed, a group of Jews in Boulder, and she refused to call that anti-Semitism and just responded by saying, well, we really didn't know what their motivation, why they just set a bunch of Jews on fire. Oh, yeah. We just don't know why.

Why do they like, why do they do that? They just threw some fire on those people, probably for no reason at all, maybe. I love that he's not moving. If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing. So that's why I'm grateful for the work of concerned women for America. For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights, and the protection of our kids. And they're taking the fight to state legislatures, to Congress, and even the Supreme Court to defend our girls and preserve common sense. This title nine month, CWA. has launched its Defend Our Girls campaign. When you give $20 or more, you'll receive one of CWA's educational resources on gender identity or sexual exploitation. Give $35 or more, and you'll receive both. These are practical tools to help you navigate today's culture with truth, confidence, and clarity.

And your gift helps protect parental rights and defend opportunities for girls and ensure that families have a voice in the policies shaping our country. join the fight today and visit concernedwomen.org slash Dana. That's concernedwomen.org slash Dana. And together, we can defend our girls, equip parents, and protect the next generation. So, you know, the losers that were on the Empire State Building, they're influencers. I hate influencers. I hate them so bad.

Is this their whole schick? It is. So, again, welcome. We're at the top of the third hour. I just said, because I've just read this piece where they literally, were taking selfies. They were, if you missed it, there were people who somehow got onto the very, very top of what, the Empire State Building, like right up on the antenna at the very top. And I guess the guy proposed to her. And they had it, what was their sign, their stupid sign?

They had a sign. They brought a sign up there, like a long, giant sign that's bigger than they are. And it says something about love, whatever. It's a powerful message, Dana. Don't just skip over it. When the power of love beats the love of power, the wellness piss. That's the sign. What? It's far simple.

When the power of love bets the love of power, the wellness pass. And they're up there. Dude, she's in a ball of clava with cat ears. And then she started taking only fans' pictures at the top. You know, the pictures were like these skinny white. white chicks with no backside, like get down on their knees and they try to stick their non-existent butt out and smile and pout at the camera. That kind of stuff.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying that's just stupid for anyone to do it. These people are in their 30s. Angela Nicolao and Ivan Vanier Burekis. They were carrying a banner came reading about the power. They climbed onto the top of the Impider State Building Spire. Don't know how they climbed. It's not like you walk up steps to get up there. How do they climb up there?

I didn't nobody even notice it for that long. And so the, I love, it said, The Banner's message is a slightly modified version of a quote, frequently misattributed to guitar legend Jimmy Hendricks, which was actually spoken by 19th century British politician William Gladstone. I love it. There's already that kind of confusion. But they started taking all of these, like, selfies of them.

I think they believe that they're Neo and Trinity from the Matrix. How much you want to bet that they're cosplay in that, now. And he's got like a flag cape, the guy, and she, they both have the balaclavas on. Hers has cat ears. And so he proposes on the platform. And she holds her hand out with her manicure. Juan's getting, okay, Juan is showing you these pictures because you're not going to believe me. If you're watching, Juan's showing you right now if you're watching the live stream. did we have the other of her like doing the weird like Instagram only fan squat where I don't know why chicks feel like look squatting is not that's not attractive I don't know why these chicks

pose like this because I'm like it looks like you're constipated stop it looks like you need one of them squatty potty that's what it looks like so they got removed are they in custody yes yeah they're in custody so one of account claimed, oh gosh, this sounds so, they sound French, but they're, yeah, they're Russian. Angela Nicola describes herself as a new artist exploring identity, fear, and freedom came. And the couple were the subjects of a 2024 Netflix documentary called Skywalker's, a love story, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. This sounds so insufferable.

The last time somebody climbed at the top of this building, it was a French climber, Alain-Roubert, known as the French Spider-Man. He used his bare hands and feet in 94. I want to know how they got up. Do we know? I mean, do I really care about knowing? So I ask Kane this. Don't laugh at me.

Or you're all grounded. So I have this thing where, I don't know what it is. Whenever I get ready to go to sleep, every question pops in my head. Half of them are dumb. pops into my head, right? And I really try to discipline myself and not ask my husband these questions right as he's drifting off to La La Land

because I'll be like, I'll say things. Like if I had my regular head and then I had another head bud right here. Yeah, but I didn't, but it was like halfway sentient. Would you still love me? You know, like things like that. Like, you know, my husband and I have an eight years,

we have an eight years age difference. And so when he was going to college when I was in sixth grade, and I'll ask him things. He's like, would you have thought I was hot in sixth grade? And he's like, why are you asking me this? You're so gross. Right as he's going to bed.

I can't help it. That's what is it. So I had one of those moments on break, and I'm like, Kane, because my husband's not in studio. He's not here. And I said, Kane, I got a question for you. Like, so what happens if all of the first responders at the base of the building held out a big giant tarp? Now, look, I know certain things, guys. Like I know a lot about guns.

I know a lot about gun law. I know a lot about baking and cooking and survival stuff. But one thing I struggle a little bit with is velocity. So I'm asking, I'm like, if they held at the base of the building, just like a giant tarp and a drone nudged these freaks off, could they catch them in the tarp or would they just plow right through and just turn into jam on the pavement? At first he said sheet.

Well, I meant to say... Like they hold a sheet. Do you think if they fall off 200 feet? Do you think it's only 200 feet? I don't know where they're at. How tall is that damn building? I don't want to ask AI because God knows what will happen on my algorithm.

You're right. It's probably much higher than that. Yeah. Anyway, they'd probably... So there's really no other way. I mean, they send like one of Gandalf's Eagles up there to bring them down. Like, how the hell do you get down from there? How do you make them get down?

Anyway, I was just curious. but I asked you that question, and it took you a split second to get over that. And I thought even the inflatable bag, you know, the ones they put, you know, for people to jump onto off of a roof of a two-story building. Maybe a ball pit. That wouldn't. Put like a big ball pit down there. Yeah. Just shove them off and fall into the ball pit.

I mean, as much as we'd like to see it, it wouldn't work. Yeah. I mean, you know, I'm just saying just to get them off safely, it's probably a lot quicker than climbing down all them stairs. I'm just saying. Anyway, so those freaks have been, they're now in custody. All right, I got some other stuff for you. Let me, let me. Oh, oh, here's the thing.

Okay, World Cup, Freddie. You guys remember the little, I don't mean to say that. I meant it as a term of endearment, not as a pejorative or a short slight. I have no idea of this guy's height. Freddie, the guy who was on Instagram, who came over to the United States from Germany to follow the team around for World Cup, and he drove through all southern America and, like, did all of this, you know, fun stuff, went to Buckees, live in his best life, and he's here apparently until the end of this month. And he went viral on social media because he was sharing his experiences. Well, they milkshake ducked him. You guys know

what milkshake duck means? Here we go. We got to revisit this. You guys understand milkshake duck. So milkshake duck, it was a joke made by an account called pixelated boat back in 2016. It was an Australian cartoonist. And he would say, oh, look, we found a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes five seconds later. We regret to inform me that the duck is racist. And this was after the Chewbacca mask lady and all of this stuff. Like every time somebody wholesome goes viral, it's like the internet tries to find something horrible about their past, right? Look, they had a joke from 15 years ago, canceled them and all this stuff, right? So, So that was the tweet. It says the whole internet loves milkshake duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes. Five seconds later, we were going to inform me that the duck is racist. So now they tried to milkshake duck Freddie. And they, so how you ask? Okay, well, that's great that you ask that. They tried a milkshake duck Friday because they found posts of his, believe it or not, where he says that everybody can be racist and that you can be racist towards white people. This was from August of 20,

24, quote, racism can be directed towards any racial or ethnic group, and whites are definitely a racial group. And then they were like, cancel him. Uh, what? So, that's apparently what happened. They milkshake ducked him. I can't even, so he put this on, he deleted his account. He deleted his ex account.

He said, quote, on Instagram. He said, hey, everyone, I just wanted you to know. That's why I deactivated my account. This was the plan all along. I'm just assuming German accent. This was the plan all along, even before we started the World Cup trip. Too many people seem to have a problem with us, having a genuinely good time here in the country,

and it's ruining the fun a bit for us because we really just wanted to document our road trip and never expected that people would have a problem visit. People are digging into my 22,000 posts to find a handful of, in their opinion, controversial posts and posts them without zero context to make me look like a bad person. Because everybody isn't, people are insufferable, is why. What are people doing with their lives that they're like, look at this guy.

Let's go back into its entire Twitter timeline. Who does this? Aside from Gail Sharpton, who would do that? It's crazy. So now Freddy's gone. He's not on X anymore. Yeah, we don't get to see him discovering everything in America again with like a child's eyes. So great job, haters.

It's just ridiculous that people do this. So Freddy's account's gone. And they've been going after like other influencers as well. That's why we can't have nice things. I wouldn't say influencers because they're not, these people are not trying to be influencers. They are literally just over from Europe and they're, they wanted, they had a social media account and they're just talking about America

and everything that they experienced from that. So that's really all it is. I felt bad for him. Can you imagine? Our partners that will bring you the program, it's our friends over at Superbeats.

Do you want to Steve know who Will Wheaton is? Of course they do, right? You guys know who Will Wheaton is, right? Juan has a life, so he may not. And a girlfriend, so he may not. Sorry, fiancé, he may not. Steve. I just remember when Stewie from Family Guy couldn't say it right, so he kept saying

Will Wheaton. Yes, Will Wheaton. So, Mr. Wheaton, was one of the most annoying characters in the entire Star Trek universe, right? And I don't mean seven of nine. She had boobs. That does not make her not annoying. Stop.

I'm talking about Wesley Crusher, right? Shut up Wesley. So Wesley Crusher, his mom was a doctor, and this was the one was Jean-Luc Picard, right? I've watched all of the Star Trek's. Yes, I have. And no, I'm not a trekker or Trekkie. You people can fight over what to call that. I just watched it because I thought it was interesting,

and I liked all the aliens. And they were legal, by the way. They were illegal aliens, except for the Borg. Anyway, I bring this up because Will Whiten is this, he's the type of person who is an insufferable freak, and everything has to be about politics. He is mad at Dwayne the Rock Johnson. And not just him, who's the, oh, who is the Shaka Khan guy?

him yeah yeah yeah the gay one i don't care to look him up i'm purposely not looking him up i can't remember was he george chakai he's the really by the way whenever you say define annoying gay his face comes to mind right he annoys other gays that's how annoying he is like the other gays are like get away go away anyway so Will Wheaton and George Takai are mad at Duane the Rock Johnson, just for some reason on a Wednesday. Why? Because Duane the Rock Johnson, they said that he keeps his political views private, and that's so ignorant. What?

What? They said he's a coward because he keeps his political views under wraps. So back in 24, the rock came out. I can't call him Mr. Johnson. It's weird. I grew up with Stone Cold Steve Austin and from the Hulk to Stone Cold and he's always the rock. And I'm not going to start calling him Duane. It's weird.

That's like calling my teacher by their first name, right? It's not happening. What? Delane. Oh, I've family. Yeah. For real. No, Duane is like, I'm like, are you sure you're really like Polynesian?

Because your name is Duane. I mean, are you sure you went coming from like Iron and Wayne counties, you know, down in, down in Somo? I'm just asking. Anyway, so they're mad at him because he, in 24, he endorsed Joe Biden. Or no, sorry, in 2020, he endorsed Joe Biden. And in 24, he was asked about it. And he said that he regretted it because it caused division amongst his fans. And he said, my goals to bring the country together, I believe in that.

There will be no endorsement. He's like, you know, at this level of influence, I'm keeping my politics to myself. like, you know, he's basically taking the Michael Jordan approach where, you know, Republicans buy sneakers. You know what I mean? He's smart. Yeah, he's smart. And I don't get mad that he had a different choice because he was never a doucheback about it.

I only dislike people if they're d-bags about it. If you have a different choice, I am not so weak in my convictions that I feel personally threatened, right? So he said that. And out of like, for whatever reason, so he talked, he did an interview with Esquire, and they asked him about it. And he just briefly touched on it. and moved right away, moved on.

He said, I just want to focus on telling stories. He's like, I'm going to keep my politics to myself. He is like, it's just, he thinks that it's the respectful approach. He says, I don't like the slinging. I don't like all the hate. He's like, politics is omnipresent and it's forever. He's like, I just don't want all of that to come with it. And I get that.

And I respect that. But, oh my gosh, guys, did anyone stop and ask the Zealous Star Trek actors from the late 80s where they stand? Did not anyone stop to think of the Will Wheaton's and the George Chakais? How dare you guys continue on with your lives as though it's important without asking them for their contributions? So they're mad. So they both called him a coward and they said that keeping his political views private is cowardly. George Chakai said, I mean, really you're calling I think the Rock's bicep is like as big as Will Whitten's head.

Have you seen Will Whedon? He looks like a failure to launch guy. He looks... No. He looks like he would be a barista in San Francisco. Right. Anyway. So he and I went at it one time, like years ago, and then he blocked me because he's such a flaccid, weak, you know, coward.

Huh. Anyway, so he says that he's been blat. and I guess trying to get other people to blast the rock, and that's where George Takai came in, and George Chikai was very upset and said that, yes, I agree, it's cowardly, etc. Not everything

has to be about politics, you losers. I get that Will Wheaton needs to make everything about politics because no one would give a rat's ass what Will Wheaton has to say unless Will Whiten was out there talking about Will Whiten politics. Seriously. Why do you have to be such an insufferable scab on the ass

of America. Stop it. Just live your life. Not everything has to be about politics. Some of us want to sit down and watch a movie. We just want to be entertained and not by morons who think that their illiteracy amounts to a political opinion. Why can't he just go? Shut up, Wesley. Go away. Leave us alone. We just want to live our lives and we want to eat grilled dogs, man. Eat our hot dogs and drink our beers. Have our Guinness. I know it's Guinness, but Fourth of July. I rinse my beer. my beer glasses and Budweiser. InBev took them over and we never got over it. My whole point is that

can't people just live and just live their lives and not constantly make everything about politics and act like because someone is not sharing a hot take that it's some sort of, that it's significant in any way? That's the problem. That's really the person who makes the news is the person who doesn't have a hot take.

It's like the thing with the Erica Kirk, I see all of these desperate, people who, well, most of them are bots, but there's a significant chunk. Apparently a couple that live here in North Texas that are some of the dumbest people that I ever lived. And God help us, DFS should probably check in on their children because I doubt they're alive. I don't think they could keep a cricket alive, much less a human person baby. Anyway, so it's true. You have all these people that get out there and they're like, I also want to offer a hot take about Charlie and Erica Kirk. and they've never met these people.

They probably never even been to Utah. Hell, they probably never even been to Arizona. But they want to opine, like they know all of these people personally, you know. Oh, yes, I also want to offer a hot take about this. Well, I heard I was reading on the inner webs about Erica. I was reading, oh, you know these people? No, but I was hearing somebody talk about Erica on the inner webs, and I just, you know, conversating about it and legitimatizing mockabur.

They are so desperate to have a hot take be included so they can be counted as present in society. But yet when you don't offer a hot take, somehow that's supposed to be a sign of what? Why is that person not giving us his opinion? Well, maybe because they don't want to. It's suspicious. That's like in 1984, you have the workers looking around and making sure everybody's there screaming during two minutes eight, right? They're everybody's, they're all looking around making sure that everybody's rabid. And if you weren't, what is happening?

Why are you not rabid and screaming like everybody else is? Same thing. Where's your hot take? Why don't you have a hot take? Pound sand, Wesley. Golly. I mean, rue the day that people are going to be bullied into giving an opinion prematurely because some checks notes, a loser from the 80s and some, you know, annoying gay dude who

So we've been dicing up this birthright citizenship, and I am made of questions, and I only pretend to be a lawyer on television. So I'm like, why don't we just go, you know, to an actual real expert in all of this? And we first met Senator Schmidt when he was the just absolute gangbuster AG of Missouri. And now he's the senator from a home state. My family loves this dude. Senator Eric Schmidt, who joins us via video now. Happy independence day to you, sir. Welcome to the program. Good to see you. Good to be back with you. America 250. It's pretty special. So I'm glad you're celebrating too. It'll be fun. Oh, yes. Celebrating big. But the big question, though, is what are we going to do about this birthright citizenship? Now, correct? Because I know you've already

been out there tweeting some ideas, and I love this, because I've had a lot of people ask on social or send email. And they're like, well, can't Congress just pass some legislation? Now, the way that I understand the decision is that Roberts tied it to the Constitution, so it has to be an amendment for that to happen. But beyond that, considering that we don't have. federal birth certificates and it's you know the state issues them is this more of a problem until you know we remedy this later that the state state by states are going to have to handle and manage well i think um the way to look at this first of all um it really does diminish i think as we're celebrating america 250 what citizenship is all about in this country right i think that that

understanding who we are and how much of a privilege it is to be a citizen of the greatest country in the history of the world. We have all these rights guaranteed and all, you know, we're in what the declaration meant and what the Constitution protects, all those sorts of things I think are important and why the decision really is tragically terrible. But the question is, what do we do? Like, how do we address this? Because I think most Americans, certainly your audience and me think this is a travesty. There's a couple of routes. So, First of all, let's take like short term, medium term, and long term. So short term, the president of the United States still has authorities under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 to put restrictions on visas.

Because we do see, Dana, this birth tourism thing is real. We've heard testimony over it. I mean, Chinese generals are having their wives and girlfriends flown to the United States to give birth here. And they stick around for the medical care. And then they go back. And these U.S. citizens under this ruling can spend, you know, the first 18 years of their life being indoctrinated by the CCP, then come here and vote and contribute to campaigns or run for office. Okay. We don't really fully appreciate how much of a disaster from a national security perspective this can be.

So the president can have some visa restrictions however he wants that those are temporary, right? Because if a Democrat wins again, they can change all that. The second option is a statutory change. So if you go back to the 14th Amendment, the operative language that the justices were deciding what did it mean was subject to the jurisdiction thereof. What did that mean? And so the people that the liberals on the court were immediately took the reflexive reaction. Well, that means if you're born here, you're subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and therefore you are now a citizen. That's not what it meant at all. It was really taken together with the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was basically not subject. to a foreign power because what they were trying to get as they wanted to make sure that children of recently freed slaves were admitted immediately to be citizens. And that was the right thing to do. They never intended it for somebody to come here, give birth, or you have 15 million people come here legally and their kids are automatically citizens. It's never what it meant because

those people who were coming were subject to another foreign power. I mean, they're citizens of somewhere else, not here. And so you could amend the statute, which I'm going to do. We're going to offer a bill that would change the language to explicitly include, you know, not subject to a foreign power. That would, and not to get too into the weeds here, that is the door that Kavanaugh opened. So a lot of the justices on the conservative side were all over the place on dissents and concurrences, but there was a five-four majority for this kind of thing. So if you change that, you could, if that were challenged, then flip it and have a five-four decision the other way to remedy it. It's not, you know, who knows how that would ultimately go, but that is an option,

and I think it's worth pursuing. And then the third option, which is the most stable long term as a constitutional amendment, those are hard to do. But I think if you use as an opportunity to rally the American people to change our constitution to explicitly say, this is not what that means. That's another option, too. So you got the executive action, you got a statutory route, and then you've got the constitutional amendment. And that, what you said too about Kavanaugh, keeping the door open, that's interesting because that, ultimately, that, I mean, it's very narrow, but that's something that could be brought back forward before the court. Of course, you've got to go through the whole process again. But ultimately- Right. And Dana, what, what basically the way this played out was,

some people thought, well, the court would just say, you can't do this by executive action and leave the rest alone. Like, that's probably what a lot of people thought would happen. That, that, that, president can't do it by executive order, therefore we're not going to deal with the rest. And then what Kavanaugh was saying is, no, no, no, no, we shouldn't deal with this as a constitutional issue. This is a statutory issue. And so if he's the flip vote and saying it's a statutory issue and you can fix the statute of 1954, that is an option. And then you've got what a lot of people didn't think they'd get to, but they did get to, was this constitutional question about what did the 14th Amendment mean. So did it surprise you, the

decision because I know there were legal eagles saying, well, of course they were going to rule this way. This was going to be the decision. But then at the same time, and maybe this is just naivete speaking, I'm just, I guess, I have no idea how they were able to interpret the statute the way that they were, especially considering the history that Justice Thomas laid out in his dissent. Yeah, I mean, I was hopeful that they would get it right. I was prepared that they wouldn't because it is a, it's a question that hasn't been answered, and a lot of people have come to accept the idea of birthright sessions, which I think is crazy. But some people have.

But I guess if I'm taking the glasses half full approach here, the people that thought that they would rule against it or, you know, ruled the wrong way, thought it would be a much more, a much more decisive majority, not 5'4 there. So I guess if you take any solace here, it's that Kavanaugh, even though I wish he would have ruled differently, did, in his opinion, provide this opening that we ought to walk through that door. I guess is the, the glass is a full way to look at. I mean, yeah, so there's the, I'm always like, okay, what can we still do? Like, you know, the door is not shut all the way. I immediately, you know, want to find that fix. We're talking with Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri. what do you think of the idea of, and this has been proposed by a number of people, the option of states that control birth certificates saying, well, if you're here, we're not going to issue this. If you're here illegally having a baby, we're not going to issue a birth certificate at the state level. In the interim, do you think that that's a wise move to take? I don't know because if it really does come down to a constitutional question about the 14th Amendment, you know, that's a,

that that might trump what a state might decide or not to do. But it's something that could be tested. There's no doubt about it. Right. I think I do think the president, what the good news here is the president, the vice president, many people in the administration were very firm about their desire to do something on this. So, you know, a lot of these decisions kind of come and go and after a day people aren't talking about it anymore. I do think the administration has sort of signal that this is a big deal to them. And I think that's important because the president does through the Article 2 branch powers granted to him in the Constitution. And then this specific immigration nationality statute of 1952 has really broad authority for

for like sort of turning people away or who can come and who can't come. I mean, when you see him do like a travel ban kind of thing that people like or they don't like, that's authority the president has. So I do think the closing of the southern border and all the sort of protections have been put in place by this administration are important. Now, again, that's just for, potentially, just for another two and a half years. So we do have to be thinking about what we do about it. And I think this is something that, you know, the immigration issue writ large. But this thing is just, I just think the reason why it's, you know, you're getting a lot of

feedback from your viewers and it's been lit up online is that it just is, it seems insane that a sovereign country can't decide this thing the right way, right? That just because somebody sneaks in and has a kid, that that kid then is a U.S. citizen that is given all the rights and privileges that not only people who are born here,

but people who've actually gone through that whole process and taken this oath, right? And they learn about our, you know, it just is wild. So I think it just defies common sense. You made a great point about National security because I look at this like an asymmetric warfare. Oh, yeah.

The case of asymmetric warfare. I mean, we already have the H-1B issue, but you have the Chinese birth tourism where now you're going to, you have a whole generation of kids that were born here in the United States to Chinese parents. They're taken back to China, raised within the, you know, the stew of communism. They come back over here. They can vote. They got a social security number.

They can affect policy. And they're starting to come of age now. And we're talking about thousands and thousands of people. And if you, I mean, if I'm. I were wanting to subvert the United States and hit at the West, this is a great way to do it because it's a clear weakness. I mean, not even France allows. Spain doesn't even allow this for crying out loud.

England. UK changed their law back in the 1800s, but the United States still plucking along with it. It is a very toxic. And I, you know, the left on the, it's just totally lost the plot on all this now. They don't actually believe in borders. And by the way, Harry Reid, think about this. I'm sure this will come up. Harry Reid had a bill to deal with this.

Like, that's how far the Democrats have come. And of course, you have Bill Clinton giving state of the union addresses where he talked about the importance of immigration, you know, enforcing our immigration laws. The Democrats, they want to defund ICE. They think that this policy is just fine. And so you have one political party now that doesn't even care about any of this. And I do think, and it's important for your viewers to understand, there is a whole industry. and big money being made on facilitating people who are eight months pregnant coming into the country to give birth and then going back so that they can come back and they have a U.S. citizen as a child. And Peter Schweitzer's written a book about this.

I don't know if you've had a money sure. It's really fascinating. He's great on this issue. It's fascinating. There could be a million Chinese that are, according to this decision, U.S. citizens, that are, according to this decision, U.S. citizens, that, that could come to this country and affect a presidential election. I mean, that's crazy. We see it, like, for instance, Hassan Piker.

He's an anchor baby. He was born here to parents who then ultimately went back overseas, and then they came back, and now he's a citizen, and he had 110,000 people doing phone banking for a communist who's running for office. I mean, that's just one person. I'll give you the last word on this, because as we go to celebrate, you know, America's 250th birthday, I don't want people to feel fatigued, and I don't want them to think, my gosh, then it's over. I always want people to feel like there's a fighting chance and to not,

when you're going through how you keep going, what would you tell people that might feel a little bit like the air's let out of the balloon, just a little bit with this rule? And how would you, how would you lift them up? Well, look, the Supreme Court term was kind of a mixed bag. I mean, we had a big win on the temporary protective status, right, on on Haitians who were here, have been here for, so it's a mixed bag. This one stings because I do think it gets to the heart of citizenship. But here, look, here's the deal. This still is the greatest country in the history of the world. What the founders did almost 250 years ago to the day is they said that everybody had it

wrong in the course of human history, that our rights don't come from a king or a queen. They come from God. And the government's role is to protect those rights. And all the separation of powers and federalism that we talk about was all meant to protect individual liberty. That is still the heart of this great experiment. And it's a country then, as is defined by, I'm going to be. be down at the Gateway Arch, you know, this weekend to celebrate, you know, the 4th of July 2.

And that's a monument to westward expansion, the pioneers and the explorers who want to see what's on the other side of the mountain. That's our heritage. That's ours. And so we can decide, I think, 2024, when President Trump won, it was a rebuke of the craziness we saw from when liberals actually get into power now, what they're all about. And we still have a chance here. And it's every generation's opportunity to protect those God-given rights, to protect this

experiment. So there'll be America 500 someday. We won't be here to see it, but our kids and our grandkids and their kids can still live in the greatest country in the world. So I'm still very optimistic. I think you see these things that you don't like, and we commit together to try to fix them and improve on things. And that's what this whole thing's about. But I think we keep fighting and everything's going to be just okay. Amen to that. Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri. The Show Me State, always so good to see you, my friend. God bless you. Thank you for your fight and all your service and I have a great independence day. Thanks, Dana.

It's time for Dana's Quick 5. All right. So first up here, hmm, we got, this is how Exoduses work. Seattle sees the second largest home price drop in the country as their whole market this past spring, fizzled into nothing. This is according to Redfin and Channel 7, K-I-R-O, out in Seattle.

I wonder why. They said that San Jose also, they said even though that their prices dropped almost 5% year over year, that's the second largest decline of a major metro area. The first is San Jose. They saw the largest drop in housing prices. That's over 6% year over year. Now, after that it's Portland. They saw a decline of 2.8. Dallas saw a 1.8 drop, but that's like Dallas City, like county proper. Nobody wants to live there. And Orlando, Florida, with 1.5% decline.

Now, they saw some increases, San Francisco, Detroit, West, Palm Beach, and Kane, St. Louis, Missouri, 8.5%. Interesting. Also, there was a giant fireworks explosion that destroyed a home. and apparently they said a cigarette may have done it. Of course. Is that the... It sounds like something my uncle would have done. Would be Island Washington.

Apparently a homeowner was smoking when he was making 700 pounds of fireworks. You know, things you can't smoke while doing, getting gas, making myth or making fireworks. You can't be smoking around none of them things. Just let you know. You got to play drums with us. You got to play...

When you come in with Metallica, you've got to start doing air drums with Lars. You got to do it, right? You got to start doing air drums. You got to do it when you come in with that. All right, welcome back to the show. We're at the end of the third hour. We're getting a little crazy.

We are, like I said, I'm going to be back with you all on Tuesday. We're taking just a couple days for Independence Day is all. By the way, I just saw video of POTUS's Motorcade being escorted through North Dakota by the Rough Riders on Horseback. And so we were coming in with Metallicas, Don't Tread on me. And I'm like, oh my gosh, we have DMX's Rough Ruffer. writers anthem like feels like that needs to happen now because they're I mean because he did the teddy roosevelt as you know presidential museum open that up and now I'm I mean you know I'm going to make just fine it down but I'm watching this video his motorcade they got all they got the rough riders

riding with them that's actually pretty cool that is really cool and uh yeah they're going a lot slower than I thought, but they're keeping uniform and it's neat. It's real awesome to see that. So he's visiting. He's up there with the Teddy Roosevelt Library. That's pretty cool. That's a really, that is a welcome right there. And right through North Dakota. Very cool. So I hope that everybody has a nice and safe independence day. And like I said, I got a piece that'll be coming out in the Washington Times next week that gets into this. I mean, it's, It's we, I mean, despite all of our issues, and there's not a country that doesn't have issues, guys, but we are still the greatest nation in the world. We are that shining city up on the hill.

And it's important to remember that. And it's important to keep focus. And don't buy into the hype. When you see too many things, like if you see, you know, all of these people suddenly turn 180 degrees and they're all parroting the same thing, it's probably not. You know, I mean, if it looks like an op and talks like an op, it's probably an op. But listen to your gut instinct, right? There are so many forces right now in this asymmetric war against the West. And it's cold right now.

It's not hot, but there's definitely plans underway to undermine the West in any way possible. And it's incredibly important to remember why we hold the line like we do for the Republic that we have. And it's a Republican until so long as we can keep it. It's the greatest nation in the world, and it has to remain that way. It takes diligence. All right. Today's stupidity came. All right.

It's Representative Jaya Paul. She is just horrible. Let's just play cut six. And by the way, she's saying this to the mothers and families of people killed by illegal aliens. This is in regards to the birthright citizenship stuff. Listen to this. Cut. Oh, I'm sorry, six.

Oh, you're not getting it. I can make up what you're saying. The fourth time. And so basically she was just upset that she's been there four times for this particular subject. So in front of the mothers who have lost their children, she's clearly saying she doesn't care. Folks, happy Independence Day. God bless America. I'll be back with you Tuesday.
