Welcome to the program. The Mitch McConnell thing, have we heard from Mitch McConnell yet? You think he's alive? Not really. I think he's alive. People were saying that the paper that he was holding in this one photo that they released, I was trying to zoom in on it. It was fake, but I don't know.

It looks like that could be real. I don't know. It's getting a little hot. nominee here. It kind of is. I saw one post of someone pulling up a photo of three or four years ago of Mitch and his wife, and it looked identical to this photo only with a different background. So I think what they did was they used AI to create a different background, which is why the photo came back as AI, although those two people in the picture, that was a real picture. It was just a few years ago. Yeah, they're saying that the one of him in the hospital bed is apparently, well, they were

saying it's real. New York posted a story on it. So did Washington Post. And they had a fact check saying that it was an authentic photo. I would feel like the Washington Post because they hate Republicans so much that if it was fake, they would have been like, look at this

fake A Double Snake's photo. Look at this. Yeah, the bed photo, I think was real. No cat. Listen here, fam. But with him and his wife in the photo, that's the one that's in question as far as it being AI.

No, that's the one that's not. That's the one that Washington Post fact-checked. I thought the one in the bed they fact-checked. They said, here, here, here, here, here, here, wait. No, no, no. See, look how crazy this is. This is some hominy stuff. They, and they even had, like, a copy of the paper, apparently.

Yeah, he's sitting. I guess that's not a chair he's in? That's a chair. No, that looks like a hospital bed, if I'm being real. Well, his wife is in that. Or a recliner or something. that looks like a bed because look at she's sitting and that's pretty high out that's a bed that looks like a bed yeah but that's the one with his wife and that's the one they're saying was a few years ago

they said that they brought in a forensic a forensics expert an independent digital i'm reading the article an independent digital forensics expert that said there's no evidence that the image is fake so the Washington post sent it to a forensics expert they fact checked it and they said it It's real, and it was taken on Sunday, is what they said. So wait, am I supposed to now start believing the Washington Post? Is that what you're saying? No, I think that the Washington Post, I think the reason that they were truthful with this is because there's a significant faction, not a significant, but a loud enough faction on the right

that's a little nutty, that gets into every sleuth thing, conspiracy thing that there is and takes it as truth. no matter what. And I think that they like the divide. And that's why I think that they did this. But I also think that they hate Mitch McConnell so much that if there was a grain of truth of being a fake image, they would have dragged him. Well, imagine it being a fake image. And Washington Post is like, you know what, let's just make everyone believe this is real. Because we know what the truth is behind the scenes and what the end game is on this. So why don't we just lull them until then? I think Scott Jennings, I think a lot of people owe him an apology. A lot of people because they're like, yes, it's real.

I mean, clearly he's not well. And I do think that when you are an elected official, you owe it. You don't get to disappear like Mark Sanford going for some Argentinian strange on the Appalachian Trail, which, you know, and disappearing for days. You just can't up and disappear when you're an elected official. and so therefore I don't believe that they can invoke this. Respect our prophecy. No, no, no, you got to let people know you're okay. That photo is fine, but we need something else.

A video would be, unless did he have a stroke? And he has difficulty with speech. That's something else to consider. Scott Jennings said this. This is Scott 17. Listen. Well, well, that's all I have to say today. To everybody who doubted your,

truly. To everybody out there who said, that didn't happen. To everybody out there who said, Scott is off his rocker. He's making things up. He's not a real reporter. Therefore, you can't trust anything he says, well, you guys can kiss my grits, as they say in the South. Grits are delicious. God bless. Just bless your heart. That's what I got to say. So, yeah, the red checked shirt is the one that's real, where he's like in this chairbed thing.

I think it's a bed because his wife is sitting next to him and she looks like when she, you can tell she's sitting, but the bed is that high up. So I think that that's Looks like he's in a bed Or some kind of like a recliner Shays or something But this photo that you're watching The Simulcast, that is the real one

That Washington Post hired an independent forensics expert To evaluate and they determined it was taken Sunday According to the metadata Apparently, I guess they were even given that From the camp, I don't even know But they said, no, no, no, it's legit. Now there are AI photos

That are circulating out there. One of him holding up a sign is an old one but that one apparently is legit. Photo isn't the same thing as a video, though. I agree with you. And I do think that there needs to be a little bit more transparency. Is the reason that we're not getting transparency because they're worried about how this could affect midterms?

I feel like we're very far off from midterms still so that they can be like if he's had a stroke, then just say that he's had a stroke. I mean, for crying out a lot, Democrats have proven already that it doesn't matter whether or not you've had a stroke, you can run for office and be in office. They prove that. Fetterman actually turned out smarter than the rest of his party.

Shocker, I know this is going to totally surprise people. This is headlines so tiring. New York sees a dramatic exodus of millionaires. Whoa, who could have saw that coming? Oh my gosh. It caused nearly $11 billion loss in tax revenue. Oh my goodness. Wow, we're so shocked.

Wow, you elect a socialist and all this stuff happens. Oh, my gosh. What? What did you think was going to happen? All the mill. I think they should be forced to stay. there. I think if you voted for him, you should be forced to choke on it. Stay there and endure it. I wouldn't let you leave. If Dana was president, I would force you to suffer under what you voted for.

And you would be forced to, even if you changed your mind as a penalty until the next election when you can rectify your vote by not making the same stupid mental abortion decision again. That's it. And then if you voted again moronically, I would deport you. But Dana, what if they were born here? I'll find some place to send you. you. Doesn't matter. It may not be where you came from or where your ancestors came from, but I'll send you somewhere. That I can assure you. So, $11 billion loss in much-needed tax revenue. I mean, again, is anybody surprised over this? It's a day that ends in why. Of course. It's the Citizens Budget Commission. And they said that, Mann, Donnie's pushed to tax the rich. It's going to drive even more people. No, they tax them. They wanted this. Go and seize all of their income to make up for your ridiculous budget shortfall that's going to do nothing. It's not even going

to put a dent in it. But go ahead. Try. People were saying, now, look, you know, you're going to supercharge this exodus of wealthy people, and he doesn't care. Governor Kathy Hokel firmly opposed an outright hike on the wealthy, but she's trying to seek re-election. So she's trying to have it both ways. People who have second homes in New York City. By the way, that's kind of a scam. This whole argument of, oh, they have luxury second homes. Usually they have an apartment in New York that they work at that's like a cracker jackbox and then they have their actual house that's outside of Manhattan. I have friends that do that. And it's not anything fancy. It's legit like a studio apartment that's over like a hot dog stand and it smells like old meat all the time.

It is pretty, that's what, but they consider that luxury second home. But a lot of people, because of the nature of their work, they do that. They have to do that. So they have, the budgets are so bloated. They never think of, well, maybe we should go back to the drawing board, kind of take inventory of everything that we're spending money on and see if this is something that we should still be doing. That never comes up as a solution ever for these people. Never. They're like, well, you know what we need to do? we just need to raise taxes more. Well, what about let's go in, take inventory of everything we are paying for and see where we can save money and see where money can be better spent?

That sounds like you're trying to cut things. Well, yeah, there's probably, you're wanting to cut services so that blind people are going to walk into traffic and then people are going to die and then there's going to be dogs abused in the street and babies are going to have no families. Oh, my God. I mean, that's like what you hear from people. If you try to suggest any kind of fiscal responsibility, particularly the leftists in New York, New York ranks dead last for competitiveness, according to the Tax Foundation.

All these businesses have been leaving and going to places like Texas, Florida, Tennessee. They're not going to attract any other business. Aren't they, don't they have like a real estate problem right now with commercial real estate? they can't even keep people in these spaces, and that's been happening, I mean, COVID contributed to it. I think fast-tracked it, but these high-tax policies also. The rent control law that they have, the green energy mandate that raised significantly raised energy costs, you could not, you couldn't pay me to live in New York City. If you said, Dana, we'll give you $10 million a year to live in New York City, I legitimately, with all sincerity in my heart, would say no. I don't want to live in a place that sounds like piss and pretzels all the time.

It's true. I'm not wrong. The grain energy cost, the prices are soaring. It's getting to be as bad as London, where they won't even, they'll come after you if you have an AC. It's getting to be that bad. I mean, it's just a, you know, just a matter of time. But of course people are leaving. They don't want anything to do with us.

None of it. they this yeah but he balanced about how did he balance the budget he filled that gap thanks to Albany thanks to the state of New York filling that gap for him sounds like a bailout that's what it was absolute bailout Adam Sandler is apparently in trouble because he

officiated Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelsey and the problem isn't that Adam Sandler officiated Taylor Swift's wedding with Travis Kelsey. The problem is that Adam Sandler is Jewish, and he officiated Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelsey. So all of these brain dead sumps are raging. They've been raging for over a week now over the fact that he did that. And now his co-stars are having to defend him.

I would think that he would be criticized because he took part in what sounds like a very tacky union, where they had a raffle and they gave away things like. designer bags, which sounds so goche to me. You do a raffle at your wedding. That sounds like a fundraiser. That doesn't sound like a wedding. That sounds pretty, that sounds tacky. Dude, and I'm, you know, I'm not saying this as a pejorative, but I'm from those arcs. I think that sounds tacky, right? But anyway, I would think that they, when I first saw this headline, I thought, oh, they're mad because this was kind of, you know, blue light special here, little K Marty. just the way that it was gone about.

No, they're mad because he's Jewish. His co-star and clique, Jana Kramer, came to his defense. And she said that when everyone heard of his role in the wedding, they were like, oh, well, that's kind of an interesting choice because he officiated the nuptials, right? But people have been mad at him because he's Jewish.

I can't even deal with us. Why are people so, why are they such mental abortions? why i have no idea how he came to do this either that is like something i did not have on my bingo card if you had to pick who's going to officially by the way she's 36 years old they built a castle in madison square garden that people walked into then they had a raffle for designer items it's weird right it's kind of odd that seems very corporate and influencery but whatever. That's what they wanted to do. It's her money. They had him officiate and people were mad. I would say they weren't mad because he took part in this tacky thing, but because he's Jewish.

And then people started kind of getting mad at her because she had a Jewish person officiate her wedding. Oh my gosh, Taylor. That is the level of idiocy that we have right now in this country. That's where we're at. I do think it's, I mean, how do they know him a well enough to be like, dude, can you officiate our wedding? That's like, isn't that a step above? Can you help me move? In terms of friend requests? Right? It's odd that you would, I didn't know that they were that close. I mean, if they're that close, they're that close, but I just didn't know. So he's getting all kinds of criticism just because of that, or not criticism. You have a bunch of mouth breathers that are going off on him for that. Partners that help bring you the program.

Do you guys want to hear a great sound bite?

By great, I mean whiskey tango fox trot. So Zorae Mamdani is opining on why rape statistics have increased in New York. He tries to explain it, and I want you to listen to what he says here. Go ahead and play this. And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape

also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior. But is he trying to just, like, to subtract from the responsibility to reduce this? Well, a lot of it, you know,

it's expanded definition as to what it is. So he's claiming that the reason that rape has increased in New York is because of what constitutes that. Well, it's just changed, you know. It comes from the expanded definition of what counts. He got women to vote for him somehow. So just, you know, they're burning churches there. You've got rents that are up.

People are leaving. Rape is up. Final crime is up. Wow. Yeah, a lot of it's expanding from what counts as rape. That's just going really well for him. I didn't know that it had such a dynamic, ever-changing definition. I mean, it makes sense that Graham Platner was able to get as far as he was when you hear this kind of stuff, right?

I mean, what if you just stop counting women altogether? I bet it would go away, wouldn't it, Zoran? I mean, I wonder if it has to do with, I mean, I would be interested in looking and seeing, you know, some of the statistics as to who's doing what. I'm just, I'm just shocked at some of the stuff that he says. He's going to probably get reelected, you know this when he runs. I mean, I know he's, like, still early into his term, but he's probably going to get reelected. I, that sounds like a very, you know what this makes me think of? What was that cut on the, that was that sound bite on the view.

It was, um, Wippy Goldberg who had said, well, I guess that's how, you know, do you define rape is rape or how, what did she say? She said something like, well, you know, it's got to, you got to define it. Rape is rape. Or she was trying to dismiss something. But, I mean, that's a very Platner-esque, I guess, explanation of what he's saying. I just, I don't know. The bill that expanded the definition of rape,

that was signed at the beginning of 24. So it's been a couple of years now. But the increase in 26 is not because there's all of these different definitions that are being filled or hit. It's literally because there are actual more rape. that are occurring. I mean, that's kind of weird. I don't know.

I don't have any, I don't, this guy, you get what you get. We get what you vote for in New York. You get what you vote for. The law that Hockel signed included various, but I mean, I'm reading this. Can I just be honest, I'm reading this like non-consensual sexual contact. It looks into, why would, I mean, all of this stuff seems. pretty obvious. I mean, in any other context, that's already counted as sexual assault. So why are they acting like this is a new thing? Do you see what I'm saying? So it's not as though they've expanded

anything. The stuff that they're mentioning here is already by every other state considered parts of that. It's considered rape regardless. It's kind of a dodge what he's saying here because all of this stuff still counts as a sexual assault, and it's counted, but the literal, as you know it, sexual assault or rape, that statistic, that incident in particular is increasing. I'm not just talking about like statutory rape or anything else. This, that, that verbatim is increasing in New York. And he's trying to brush it off by saying, well, it's because all of these other, All of that, I mean, that's kind of, it was already considered that.

That doesn't address the fact that this particular occurrence or act is increasing by itself separate from all of these other definitions that are already in existence. Oh, Lorraine's got the quote. It was about Roman Polanski, how he wasn't guilty of rape, rape. She said that. She said that. She said that. I know it wasn't rape rape.

It was something else, but I don't believe it was rape rape. That's what she said. Yeah, that's very Zohraimandani. Very, very, very, very, ma'am dony. I thought it was. That's just the way that he tried to kind of deflect from that, I can't believe that there weren't the feminist cottage industry

that didn't at least call him out on that. They've completely given up. They have completely abandoned their grift. because anybody else would have said a statement like this and they would have been all over it. The Linda Hirschmans, the Gloria Steinem's, the Jezebel publication, that literally is a publication called Jezebel, I'm not even kidding. That's where all the brain dead chicks that were so bad at writing, they couldn't even get hired at a Hallmark, ended up cobbling together their Sylvia Plath-esque freshman diatribes over at that website. Man alive. All right. A couple of other things to get into as well. We got this. We've got, oh, transgender actress, Ellen Page, who changed her name to Elliot Page. And I watched a video of her recently at, I guess it was the Odyssey premiere, where she walked out in this weird, like, turd-brown colored suit and looked like Martin Short playing a character.

Anyway, she has this about the alphabet people and how it extends to animals. We're playing it. Go ahead. This is cut 20. In terms of looking at nature as if it's some sort of cis-heteropatriarchal structure is absurd and that this, you know, gender binary that we've created is nothing but a quaint little myth. And I think, you know, her work and this documentary really, really shows that.

what we have been taught in school in regards to these structures, men being superior, women being inferior, you know, submissive or what have you. No one teaches that. It being this, yes, heterosexual existence is just completely false. And I think what's so wonderful about this documentary is it really illustrates, you know, why that information has been so suppressed. and how important it is for us to all learn about this and how it's only expansive and exciting all of this information.

I want to go to the gold. The animals are gay. I feel like I'm watching a South Park skit. Her voice is really bothering me. That's because of the hormone stuff she's taking. That's a myth, the heterosexual? I mean, it was hard to listen to her. all the hormones that she's, she's going to, like, lose her voice.

I guess to try to give her voice some base. You need an Adam's apple for that, but you've got to be born a man for that. So she says it's absurd to think, basically she's talking about how it's crazy to think that animals can't be gay. Are we so empty of responsibility in this life that we have to now project human ridiculousness onto animals? she was talking about LGBT animals the T includes trans

are there trans animals out there but King Elliot Page though the esteemed intellect of Elliot Page Look you have to be more than just mentally ill when you're out there saying with confidence that nature doesn't have a binary aspect to it

and that it's a myth of some sort Yeah. I mean, it's, I mean, it's not, but it's not a construct. I would have, there's something that she had said there, though, was she said that, well, you know, men are taught, we're taught that men are superior and women are inferior. Who teaches that? She has her own baggage about women that she projects and believes she's so self-absorbed. She thinks that everyone, if they don't share her viewpoint, should share her viewpoint. If you're looking at men and women and you believe that society teaches that they are superior and women are inferior, that is your own bigotry towards the female sex that you are projecting onto everyone else. I have never, in the entirety of my life, been taught that. The only place that I have ever heard that is from the left, particularly from the cottage industry of feminism. them. They've got to have a grift. Otherwise, all these broads are going to actually have to make sandwiches. So they have to have a grift. No one has ever taught that. I have only ever heard that from

them, ever. And they say it so much, you have to question whether or not they're the ones who believe that. Do they believe that women are inferior? Where are they basing this off of? No one's taught, No one says this. They are different and distinct. But one's different set of gifts does not mean that one is weak. That's like trying to judge whether or not a fish is successful as a fish based upon whether or not it can climb a tree. This is stupid. It seems they're projecting their own baggage onto this.

And like I said, I've only literally ever heard that from the left. What did you ask, Kane? How have any of the animal species made it this far? That's, you know, the million-dollar question, if that was true. That is true. We have a lot more on the way as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Relief Factor, Relief Factor, to get relief from everyday aches and pains.

It's a 100% drug-free way to do so. Relief Factor wants me to tell you about this guy named Chris, who wrote to them and said, people's lives are actually changing. He said he spent years doing physical work that left his feet aching every. day. And after starting relief factor, he felt so much better that he accomplished something he'd never done before. He ran a half marathon. Now he recommends relief factor to friends because he's experienced the difference firsthand. Every day aches and inflammation. Chip away your freedom.

The notification, now the administration has the 60-day clock starts, right? So the 60-day clock starts where now anything past that he's going to have to confer with Congress on, which is I think one of the reasons why they start it and then they stop it. And then they start it up again and then they stop it. That's kind of what really, I think, gives you some insight into this. Politico published

the letter that was sent to Congress wherein he stated that these strikes represent military action consistent with his responsibility to protect Americans, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, so, I mean, long, Iran's not complying with anything with the moo. And we're saying, still going on. We're still having the, we're still having these, these issues. We'll see how long this goes on. Maybe it'll wrap up again in time for the markets before everything closes on Friday, because that's usually how it happens, right? It's usually what it goes. That's how it goes. All right. So a few other things to get into the, where to even start. So the situation with pulling this up, because we've got ice, then we've got this real con.

thing. Did you guys see the video of the Rokana actual, I don't want to say detention stoppage, for the lack of a better way to put it? I don't know if you guys, I watched the full thing because I kept waiting. There was a clip that he released and then I guess we had to wait for the rest of everything to be released. This is cut 22. This was apparently the quote unquote detainment. This was all it was. Watch. So they're just talking. They're like, this is a military installation. We spoke with the police.

They said they got to leave. They don't understand what the problem is. It says the police are on their way. So, again, bottom line, because I put this, so I had this on social media. What I've decided to do is I think I'm going to read all the hate comments that I got from the Islamist simps. And I think I'm going to donate it to A-PAC. And just read all the comments, all the hate comments that I got. from these people, because I posted about this.

The Islamist bots and the terror simps went crazy to defend Ro Khanna. And they're like, we can't believe, you know, any American would actually be advocating for another people over their own lawmaker. First off, there's, you follow law. You don't just walk into another country and then decide that you're going to go on whatever military installation you want to. I mean, that's, that's goofy. And Roe-Connor should act like an American if he wants to be treated as an American.

I don't have to support everything that every American does. I mean, we fought a war of independence to not have to live under the thumb of the ruling class. And it's all these dumb foreigners that are saying this. They litter social media. You'll see it on my Instagram. You'll see it on Facebook. You'll see it on X, and they're livid. They're like, well, we can't believe that you would actually be advocating against a member of your own country.

I don't consider Rocana, my fellow citizen, because Rocana doesn't embody the spirit of e pluribus unum. Rocauna is an anim—he's not invigorated by the animating spirit of liberty. Therefore, I do not look at him as a countryman. I don't, and that's because of his own behavior. He decided to get—he had to pull a stunt to uncouple himself. from Graham Platner, and he did this. This is what he did. And so the detainment was just them stopping and asking questions.

It's literally all it was. Yet we're supposed to, the way that they put it, they acted like he was put in handcuffs in prison raped. Which didn't, none of this happened. I mean, this was the extent of it. And he had a whole camera. He had all the cameras with him. And then he immediately notifies the New York Times,

and it created an international incident. But if you look at the comments that I have, and I'm completely serious, I'm going to read every single one of these hate comments, and I'm going to monetize these people. I'm going to make them work like my slaves. And then I'm going to donate it to APEC in their names just despite them. Just despite them. So we're going to make that work for me. It is pretty amazing, though, because there are simps for a Stone Age sex cult that are super pup set that I'm right over this. This guy admitted that he went to the West Bank without coordinating at all with the Israeli government.

And he even said it, quote, I did it on purpose. I wanted to see it through the eyes through the lens of a fake people. Well, he didn't say fake people, but I'm tired of using that term. He's a drama queen. I can't go to any kind of exclusionary zone in any other country. I'm not allowed to go there, especially if I don't coordinate with the government beforehand. You know how stupid that is? That's ridiculously dumb.

we supposed to think that you can just go, I mean, try that in any other country, but no, they're not going to. That's the whole point of it. I'm just tired of the narrative that surrounds the strip of land, and I'm so tired of the idiot simps on social media that are so stupid they buy into it. These people can't even read a book, but they're going to read whatever China Slop is presented to them on TikTok, and that's what this is. They are gobbling it up. These people are the new face mask, 15 days to slow the spread. They are the dumb people that buy in. to every single conspiracy theory, and they constantly try to set humanity back a couple of generations. This viewpoint is incompatible with the Western world. It's incompatible with life

on this gigantic mortal coil as it is, but we're gracious. So, no, I'm not going to defend Ro Khanna's despicable stunt any more than I would defend the behavior of anybody that decided to trespass in an exclusionary militarized zone that has signs everywhere telling people that it's a militarized zone because ongoing conflict and rocket fire from Hamas right to the south of them. This isn't rocket science people. It's just literal basic literacy. So people are being hosed, I'm telling you. It is something else. And then we've got all of the situations with the ICE agents here. And so we were talking about the other question, the other issue.

We talked about it a little bit yesterday, the latest in Maine. You had again another illegal alien who was trying to kill ice officers in Maine, and then they used lethal force. And people are shocked that you can't just allow illegal aliens to run over ice agents in the United States. That's really, let's just dumb it down because that's what this is. That's what it is. Oh, well, he didn't just shoot at the tires. We played that audio yesterday of people talking about this. this is

it's the way that these people are constantly trying to rewrite what we all see in video the way that they try to write con history it's pretty amazing by the way let's let's see

this is cut five this is where Roecona admitted by the way that he went there without any kind of coordination watch even more offensive than Netanyahu's responses and knowing that I was detained an American congressman, was the Israeli ambassador's responses on Face the Nation.

He says, how dare Rokana go on a trip to the West Bank Palestinian land? He informed us he was going, but he didn't take up our offer to meet and coordinate with the Israeli government, as if that justifies being detained. I did that on purpose. I've been to Israel multiple times. I wanted to see the West Bank from the lens of the Palestinians. Well, if you were going to see it through their lens, you would be in the tunnels with the hostages.

If Roe Kana was going to see it through the lens of the Ghazan residents, then he would be in their apartments where they had hostages kept. If he wanted to see it through their eyes, he would probably be on the rooftop of a school loading rockets because that's seen it through those eyes. And I'm not going to use, again, just like I don't call a male who cuts off his penis and decides to refer to himself as a female,

a woman, I'm not going to buy into the fairy tale of retconning an entire people by using a fake term that's never existed and hasn't been supported by thousands of years of antiquity. So it's Gosson. You have a colonist government that moved in after it was given a strip of land like welfare. And then they, like every other welfare queen, proceeded to completely destroy it. Like, it was Axel Rose in a hotel room. And then from there, they built tunnels. You remember the video that we showed you a couple of years? Was it a year ago, year and a half ago? One of Pomas's leaders, this big, fat, ugly wife, who could barely walk through the tunnels, carrying her giant $100,000 burkin as she's fleeing when Israel finally responded.

I know you all remember that video. That was true. That's why they don't ever go back to Gaza. They stay over in their swanky penthouses in Doha. That's where they all live. But, no, he was told, and he knew that it was not an area that he was supposed to go into. But he admits there that he didn't coordinate. I can't tell you how many lawmakers go over to Israel or any other foreign country, and they always have to coordinate, especially if they're going to any kind of government site, militarized zone, anything like that. They have to coordinate with the government of the country that they are visiting. I don't understand why that's so hard for people that have more than one brain cell to comprehend. What is the objection to that?

Are we going to just allow every time Dick and Harry to walk into our militarized areas and walk into our government offices and see what we're doing? Are we doing that here? I mean, if you're a sovereign nation, you have every right to determine who can go where. Now, people will take exception with that, but I don't listen to colonist arguments. The occupation are the Ghazan colonists. That's the truth of it. And they can get mad and they can rage impotently in my mentions all they want to. I'll just get louder and then I'll monetize them and end up paying all the people they hate.

So, I mean, that's just the way you go about it. I'm just so tired of this. I can't believe we're still having this argument. We've grown up, Kane, with this argument with Gaza and Iran. Like the same people constantly, it's all Iran and Iran's stuages that we have grown up with destabilizing this area. I will never forget being a kid watching. Do you remember the MTV song when they did, redid the give piece of chance? and they had like these jump cuts of all these different celebrities that worked together on this song.

And they did this video and it was like one, somebody saying this, like they would have like a couple different artists per stanza. And then they would have like everybody in a... No, it was all we're saying is give piece of chance. And they redid it. They redid Lennon's song. And they had like Yoko Ono was ended at one point. This was back in the 90s. And this was after, again, we were dealing with Iran.

We were dealing with Iraq. Saddam Hussein, all this stuff. And I just remember me and my friends, you know, we would have sleepovers and we'd stay up all night and watch MTV. And that song was played ad nauseum. And my point in sharing that is that we have grown up with the specter of this sort of this, this Islamist ideology for as long as I can remember. It has dictated foreign policy. It has dictated everything in the Middle East. And here we are so close. And that's when they're really pulling on Trump's reigns the hardest.

And at first they thought he was AI because he sounded too calm. I'm like, this dude is AI. This dude was created in like a computer backroom somewhere. And because nobody in Gen Z is like maybe with the exception of like five people are this calm and rational and very rooted

in Christianity and it's demonstrative in how they engage. And it turns out he's a real person. Because this would be some really good AI. I'm literally looking at him in the monitor. He's got a new book out. Brylyn Hollihan has a new book out. It's called Make America Talk Again. And he also wrote one generation away,

How to Save Humanity from a Screaming Culture. This is incredibly interesting because, and Bryland joins us now via video. And he's real. He's not AI. He's just one of those like unicorns in Gen Z, right? They exist, guys. They do exist.

Brylyn, congrats on the book. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you for having me, Ms. Dana. I promise that I'm real. I can pull some skin here. I know you're used to seeing Gen Z people on Twitter. If you've got a big following, you must be a pro-Hitler guy or anti-Trolley's legacy. And you just found a unicorn here.

That's a normal southern boy that doesn't get too route up when he speaks and doesn't have to scream to talk. God bless America. I love it. Your book, there's one thing that immediately. stood out to me like right from the get-go. And in this, and I want to start with this, because you write, talking about debate and talking about political engagement and discourse, you write in your book, the goal is not to enjoy being booed. The goal is to remain steady when it happens. This really stood out to me because we live, as you know, Brile, we live in this political

culture where you, it almost seems like the emphasis isn't on the action to achieve the mission, but it's on the fight itself. And it's very, it seems almost like a vanity project. Talk a little bit about this because I know that this seems, because this theme is very present throughout the book and I know you explore a lot of stuff in it. But tell me your thoughts on that and how that, you know, kind of went into you writing this book. Absolutely. What I want my generation to understand is you can be a bold conservative without being a bitter one. You can be fighting on the front lines of this fight without screaming and infighting at your own party and without saying the most extreme things possible. And I think a lot of people that came into politics, obviously through social media

my generation, came into it with the understanding that it's about clips and clickbait and engagement and it's simply not. I understand that that's a path to get information to the next generation, but it's not necessarily a path to grow the tent or to grow voters. And just because you can say something so extreme and radical doesn't necessarily, one, make you right and two, make you digestible for our party. I've seen some gross things said over the past year. And I think a lot of what I wanted to make clear there is you are going to get booed and it's going to suck.

You're going to get the death threats. Keep walking forward. I'll tell you this. I started my political journey with a podcast in the fourth grade. I had never received a death threat until the morning after trial was assassination. And I said that day that I was going to start speaking on campuses, I was going to start doing debates and my family walked in and, you know, read out some of the horrific messages that we had gotten. I didn't know what that was like. I'm a college freshman. I've never seen that before.

And, you know, local PD you're advising that I have security walking into class and this whole thing, and I'm trying to figure out what this means. And there was a thought in the back of my mind, this is it. I can hang it up. I'll walk away from politics because I got booed because I got threatened. And I let somebody else fight this fight. And what I didn't do in that moment was walk away because we can't do that. So to the audience watching, you're going to get booed. keep walking into it anyways. How, as a member of Gen Z, because you're 20 years old, how, because it seems that the incentive to engage in the gladiator, I guess, behavior of politics and to be as outrageous as possible,

there's a lot of incentive to that. There's a lot of money to be made in that arena. Why didn't you take that route? Listen, I have morals, and I can't say that about a lot of our friends in a world full of Candice Owens, I would much rather be sent with Dana Lash right now. And I definitely am disappointed by some of the people who claim to be friends of my mentor, who claim to be fighting for his calls. And some of these big gladiator fights that we've seen since September, sure, do they sell views? Maybe. Do they get the money? Sure. Do they help the movement? Absolutely not.

And I'll be honest with you, as horrible as September 10th was last year, the one silver lining walking away from it was at least we're united. We're one big family. We've circled the wagons. There's been a funeral. We're all mourning together. So surely going into the midterms, we're all going to have each other's back and we're going to do this. And honestly, I've never seen the party more divided right now. And it's disgusting to see even on the campuses, some of this vitrile that's being thrown up. It's about engagement and entertainment and instead of actually working to save literally one of our biggest fights yet. I'm here in New York right now and the socialists think they've won. They think they've won our generation. And here we are,

inside about if we're pro-Hitler or not. While the socialists are literally taking over our generation, there's a lot bigger fish to fry than clip farming. And I'm glad you've been on the right side of this. Yeah, clip farming. That's the great way to put it. We're talking with Brylyn Holleyhan, whose book, Make America Talk Again,

How to Save Humanity from a screaming culture is out and available wherever you get books, and you can find him as well on X and IG and all of that stuff. Tell me about Gen Z. Because, you know, I see Gen Z. I feel like the loudest people are the worst representatives of Gen Z, but it seems like they're the ones who are sucking up all of the air in the room. But I get the sense that there are way more people like you out there that just aren't,

they're not flashy for the sake of flashy. They're a lot more cerebral. There is a real intellectual mooring there. Talk to me a little bit about that because you're in the trench with your generation. What do you see? There's a lot more people, especially that I'm friends with across the movement and just the 10 campuses that I've debated on the last year, that can hold a conversation without raising their voice, without including a slur or a cuss word, and try to make it to common ground with the left?

Isn't that the goal of all of this? When I debate with people, it's to try to win them over to our side, not to scare them off or to get a primetime hit. And I think a lot of people have to go into it with that mindset. I'll tell you a little secret. If somebody comes up to me and I can tell they're going to be a little, aggressive by what they're saying, what they're screaming, sometimes what they're throwing at me as they're walking up to debate. The very first thing I do every time is, oh man, I love that hat or that's a cool shirt or I like that sports team too, something to humanize them, something to be

like, oh, I'm another human, we're both Americans, before you shoot me, before you scream it, before you throw things at me, understand that we're both humans and we can talk. That's the proper way to go into this. That's the proper way to have conversations with our peers, as opposed to just what's the craziest thing I can throw out the wall and see if it gets me views? How hard is it to do what you do because you're fighting against not just the left, but you're also fighting against the left's weapon of AI and social media? How difficult is that against what you're doing? How hard is it? It's very difficult, I'll be honest. It's definitely gotten a lot more challenging

now that we're a little bit more afraid on our side. And it depends on the day and the mood of people and what's selling clicks on who's going to be in your corner. when you go into some of these battles, and that's disappointing. But I'll tell you this. The first time I met Charlie in the fourth grad of howl on a podcast, and the very end of the interview, I'm like freaking out, and I'm shaking. And I mean, I'm baby fat, and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm interviewing my mentor.

And I look at him, and I was like, do you have any advice for me? Like, I just want to get involved. I want to help this movement. And he looked at me and said, the left will always out fundraise you. They will never outwork you. You control how early you wake up. You control how late you go to bed. You control how many states you visit in one day.

You have total control over how hard you work. And that means I think I've slept in my bed 10 nights this year in 2026, and I'm averaging two or three hours of sleep every night. But, you know, if that makes me, I guess it's AI, but it means we're working hard and we're trying to fight what's going on on the left. You better take care of yourself. Otherwise, we're going to be checking in on you to make sure you're getting at least six hours of sleep and you're eating protein and all that stuff.

You're going to make us worry now. We're talking with Bryle and Holly Ann. this um let me a final question for you on this because i think this book is is important i think gen z i think everybody out there whether you're jn z or whether you have jn z kids or jn z siblings or even jenzy grandkids you need to get this i think it's very important that they read a book like this and you need to get it your what is the big again every generation it's like it's marked by a particular issue that drives them what is i kind of feel like for gen z it's sort of like AI and data centers because I see a lot of, from my perspective, what's fueling a lot of the

discontent with Gen Z is that immediately within the span of like 10 years, the entire workforce has been upended because of AI. Kids that are going, that young adults that are going into STEM or going into engineering or coding or whatever, now that's completely flipped. Is that kind of like an accurate assessment from where you are? Is that one of the biggest shakeups in your generation? Absolutely. You're spot on. And the reason for that is really our main concern would be the American dream and our inability to, say, attain that like our parents and grandparents might have been. Because of affordability, because of immigration, because of AI data centers, whatever it may be, there's this frustration

that are you going to be able to live up to buying that first house like your parents did, to start in a family after college like your parents did, getting that job in America, to live out this dream that you saw your parents and grandparents achieve? Is that going to be possible? There's absolutely frustration there. But what I want to be clear is not to be a doom and gloom black pillar. And certainly not to be somebody, you know, that comes in here and just whines and complains because, you know, despite the caricature of Gen Zey that we all complain all the time, not everybody does that. But what I've been concerned, and I'll say, I'll tell you two things I saw on campuses. The very first one, I think we were in Arkansas, and we had just finished a Q&A,

we were doing a meet and greet, and this girl comes up in the line and she's whispering to me, Dana. And I can't figure out, is she a witness protection? What's going on? Why are we whispering? And I was like, is something wrong? And she goes, I can't say my name too loud. I think I'm going and get kicked out of my sorority and SGA in my clubs and my classes because I'm at a Christian conservative event on an SEC campus. And I looked at her and I said, stop rolling over, stop bowing to the mob. If you're concerned about affordability, start your club and fight for it. I don't care what your sorority says or your club says. A week later, I'm at Ole Miss. Again, SEC campus, as conservative as it gets, and we're doing a Q&A, and this guy's complained about how he keeps

having to change his essays. And I'm like, what are you talking about? And he's like, well, I write two versions of every essay I submit. The first one I believe in. The second one, I edit to sound liberal, so that my liberal professor gives me a good grade. If every time we self-censor, every time that we roll over, we're allowing the mob to take away that ability of the American dream. So stop whining, stop complaining, and start acting. Well, the book is Make America Talk again, how to Save Humanity from a screaming culture by a very real 20-year-old Gen Z member. You're a unicorn. We're like, how is he this like moored with Prince and intellect. I mean, obviously, I mean, you were raised, I mean, you know, not to be condescending,

you were raised incredibly well. And it's just, I'm so happy to see someone in the next generation coming up that's, that really has it and is moored in something real and solid and keeps them tethered. So they just don't go with the wind. It is so encouraging to see. We'd love to have you back anytime. Please, dear heavens, get six hours of sleep at least. Now we're going to worry. And we're going to be checking in here. Bryland-Holli-Holli-Han, get the book. Congrats on the book as well. And I would love to talk with you again. Thanks so much. Good luck. God bless. Thank you.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. I have to go back to this headline because this stuns me. This is a New York Post headline.

I'm pulling it from 11 o'clock hour. I didn't know. I know that elephants never forget, but I never think. thought they could hold grudges. I thought those were just crows. You know, that's a real thing. Like, apparently crows, like, hold grudges and pass it on. I am definitely a crow. So, an infamous killer elephant stalked a family and murdered four members, 14 years apart. They said there's nowhere for us to run. It is a notorious rogue Nepalese elephant that stalked residents, a family for years, killed four of his feet. this guy's family members.

Shanichara Bot killed four of his family members 14 years apart. Two of them, even after they all moved miles away to escape this homicidal elephant. Juan's getting ready to show you this elephant. This elephant is crazy.

He's got sawed off tusks. They never forget. They never forget. Look how crazy this is. This is the elephant. The nightmare began in 2012 when this infamous killer elephant who, I guess, they call it derb,

You know how many people this thing is killed? 25 people. The death toll. It's a serial killer elephant. 25 people. Fatally trampled the guy's parents in this Nepalese town. He packed up, moved him and his family to safety, set up a new homestead nine miles away across the river. But the elephant tracked him down.

Burst into their home, killed his daughter-in-law, killed his four-year-old grandson. And he said that there's nowhere else for us to run. run. It's killed more than two dozen people since 2020. And I like, what do you do for? It wears a collar. So it pings its location. It has this like tracking collar. So it

pings its location every hour, but that hasn't stopped any of these attacks. Cain's face right now. I knew you'd want to hear that one. That's crazy. I'm reading this. I'm just blown away. Right? I've never heard of an elephant that's like that in my whole life. That's wild.

All right. So we got a a family checked into an Airbnb. I don't do Airbnb. I think they're weird. I don't like them. And they made a baffling discovery inside the Airbnb. According to the New York Post, they noticed something on the wall.

It was a picture of their family that was on the wall of their little holiday rental. And it was, they are matching faces. It even had like the bathing suits that they were wearing when they had, I guess they had their pictures taken on the beach. And it was their own family. it was taken 10 years earlier.

And I guess the Airbnb person thought that that was going to be nice to do for them. That was an intentional. I know, but how weird is this? That's what he would think. They say the odds are so, like, the odds of it actually happening are so astronomical. You can't even fathom the number. Why would you have those photos in your house? It was just by chance.

This guy took an overhead photo of a beach. and her family happened to be on the beach. Her and her sister, as they were kids, were in that photo. And it was on this guy's wall in the Airbnb for however long he's had this Airbnb. There was an Australia, a family of five walked. They left their Airbnb in Perth because they checked into the house. And then they saw a huge camera that pointed directly into the living room with a flashing red light, like letting everybody know that it was on and it was recording.

that's kind of weird. I don't like Airbnbs because of stuff like that. I don't, I think they're weird. I don't, I'm not going to stay, mm, mm, I'm going to do a hotel if I'm going to, I'm not an Airbnb person, not at all. Kane and I, we're all having a very interesting conversation on break after talking to Bryland Hollahan because he's Gen Z and we're like, why, why, because it seems that Gen Z has the same kind of cynicism that Gen X does, but Gen X is more like, me.

Whereas Gen Z is take vengeance on everything. everyone. And Kay made a really good point in that the absence of social media when Gen Z was coming to age in the 90s, or sorry, Gen X was coming of age in the 90s. That social media repetition, the doom and gloom, if we had had that, we probably would have been as cynical as Gen Z. and it's that social media, doom scrolling, and Bryland said at the blackpilling that is really contributing to that cynicism. I think it's fascinating. And the reason I keep, I focus, I'm obsessed with it is because I feel like the, that the Republican Party has no way of dealing with it. And they're just kind of out there trying to figure things out on their own.

Don't you feel the same way? How did we get the woke rike? Yeah, exactly. That's, we're going to talk more about this here in the days to come. Today's stupidity came. All right, Juan, this is cut 13. both self-described journalists. Nicole Wallace and Jim Acosta discuss how they journalism.

Listen to this. I stopped carrying Sarah Huckabee Sanders briefings. Just refused to carry him because having work there, it actually hurt me to watch her lying. And I'm not saying that every press secretary and every White House doesn't try to get the best coverage they can or put the best possible light on the things that their boss is doing. That's not good journalism.

No, that's not good journalism. That's like not not journalism. Ignore what you don't like. That's not a good formula for journalism. No, it's not. Folks, that does it for us today. Find us over at Substack as well. Download the podcast if you missed anything.
