Starting point is 00:00:00 About 4.30 this morning, the great men and women of law enforcement have been working on this operation for days and days and probably weeks. This morning, early this morning, one of the top leaders of MS-13 was apprehended. He was the leader for the East Coast, one of the top three in the entire country. Right here in Virginia, living half an hour outside of Washington, D.C. He is an illegal alien from El Salvador, and he will not be living in our country much longer. He's in custody this morning, one of the top leaders right here near our nation's capital.
Starting point is 00:00:46 I just cannot thank Governor Yonkin enough for his leadership in this effort. This has been a joint effort with state and local agencies, FBI, Director Patel, thank you so much. Well, so that's, I mean, I want Congress to be back in session because frankly, I'm bored with a new cycle, as I'm kind of sure that you all are as well, unless it has something to do with, you know, saving me my money. I've been watching the weeping and gnashing of progressive teeth,
Starting point is 00:01:18 talking about everybody getting more violent and more agitated, and none of that's working. We're going to dive into some of the moves. that POTUS has, we got some of the executive orders, especially the one, let me pull this up, that he had just signed. And this was, this all just happened. This all just, it was taking place today and the left is infuriated. If you're going to, well, one, he, one that he introduced about deportation, then there's also another bill that apparently he actually does support it. It might make him friends with Thomas Massey again. Thomas Massey had introduced the dual citizenship.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Bill, meaning if you're a dual citizen, you can't be running for office, which, I got to say I can't believe that's not obvious already how is that not a thing how is that already not an issue I mean that's that's I you know I find that fascinating so we're going to dive into all of this stuff and the just every everything that we've got happening because it's a weird news week because like I said Congress isn't in session so it's a little odd and I think that's one of the reasons why you have so much of the fighting that's been from the left that's getting a lot of attention. Now, one of the things, I want to start with this issue, because we came in, we heard from AG Pambandi, and she's talking about some of the people that are being apprehended, that are being
Starting point is 00:02:42 deported. I can't even believe that we have people that are objecting this. I mean, it's all, you know, Trenda, M.S. 13. Hey, guess what? It's the same gangs that we've been talking about for the past, like, nine months. That hasn't changed. Same people. It's like the same, I've been Groundhog Day. So the, the AG, the AG had that, had her presser talking about the deportation of these violent gang members. I just keep wondering how many are actually in the country. What audio soundbite was that? Because I also want to hit when she was discussing the, this one is the MS third, this was audio soundbite 6.
Starting point is 00:03:22 So she was saying that they also took out, well, not took out, took off the street, one of the worst of MS-13. Listen. First reaction is all of our law enforcement officers are safe. That was the number one thing. They're safe. They executed a clean, safe operation and the bad guys in custody. And thanks to the FBI, we got one of the worst of the worst of MS-13 off the streets this morning. We're able to be out here in force to show the American people.
Starting point is 00:03:52 to be here in person that this means a lot to her and the mission. Safety is our primary concern of these communities, and we effectuated that today. So then we also had Audio Soundbite 7. Christine Owen went down to El Salvador. I mean, she's getting the job done while she's dressing up in outfits related to each department. And I'm actually not, I don't care about that as long as she does the job. Audio Sanby 7, she went down to that infamous prison in El Salvador. Listen.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Here at SeaCat today and visiting this facility. And first of all, I want to thank El Salvador and their president for their partnership with the United States of America to bring our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated in our communities. I also want everybody to know if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face. First of all, do not come to our country illegally. You will be removed and you will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people. So I get the videos that she's making. But I think, well, her videos are for the base.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I don't know what's, I don't really like the videos that they've been making and putting on TV. And I'm sure you've seen some of it where they're like, oh, you, you got to leave right now. Because those cost millions of dollars. I've seen some of those advertised on Fox. And I know the ad rates for that. That's super pricey. I mean, I'm not saying that you don't, you don't publicize what you're doing. But I also think how many extra border agents could we have paid with the amount that those ads cost?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Because those ads, I mean, I saw at least one $60,000 ad on Fox. So, I mean, that's what I'm saying. So I'm just, you know, I want to make sure that we're spending all of our taxpayer dollars in the most appropriate of ways with all of this. Now, a few other things because we have this. We also have the president announced tariffs. I have this up at Substack. I wrote this piece. one I sent out last night written by one of our contributors. And the president has announced a 25%
Starting point is 00:05:58 pretty, you know, wide birth tariff on all auto imports. So it's all automobiles and all auto parts. It does not include the existing two and a half, you know, overall tariff on cars, 25% on light trucks. So the sweeping tariff, this affects a lot of stuff. And I think that the hope is They are wanting to, you know, obviously it has to do with fentanyl, et cetera. But also, you're talking about countries that have no problem penalizing us for simply being the United States of America. So adding this tariff on to it to actually have the equality that the left used to talk about. I mean, why is it that everyone else can tariff, can put these penalties on our goods?
Starting point is 00:06:44 But we're told that we're the ones who are upsetting free trade if we do the same thing. So the This is it's all It's all expected to go kick into effect on April 2nd Remember he said he didn't want April 1st because he thought people would be joking There have been a lot of them I mean obviously American manufacturing jobs that have disappeared just over the years
Starting point is 00:07:07 Whether or not this is going to be the thing that spurs More on shoring of manufacturing etc I'm not sure however in Louisiana Don't forget they have that huge who is it Hyundai's building this it's almost a $6 billion steel plant in Louisiana
Starting point is 00:07:26 and so that might be maybe that's something that you could say is a result of it maybe not but that's something that's quite interesting the 5.8 billion steel plant that's going to be they had a White House ceremony with the president Hyundai came in
Starting point is 00:07:43 all their top executives and they're announcing these plans to build it in ascension Paris and it's going to perish excuse me and it's going to supply the vehicle assembly plants Hyundai and Kia assembly plants throughout the United States. They say it's going to create up to 1300 full-time jobs and it's going to net a lot of economic revenue for southern Louisiana. And this was all agreed to last year and they're manufacturing their own steel rather than importing it and that's going to really help them with not just shipping and logistics but also a lot
Starting point is 00:08:17 of these tariffs as well. So maybe more, I just think we should get more jobs out of that. 1,300 doesn't seem, I'm not trying to be picky, but I'm just saying, 1300, it's a good start, but I think we need, you know, we need more, it would be great. And I think without having tariffs, you could just have a better incentivization for business. You know, you can't just talk about bringing back manufacturing without having the discussion about incentivizing the building of these companies and not, I mean, we have a good, brief. Didn't we come out of some of the highest corporate tax rate, the highest corporate tax rate, I mean, higher than even like China, which is so bizarre, it's the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:08:57 But one of the other things, in addition to this, now this wasn't a part of this, this wasn't a part of his EO, but he's suggesting on making interest on loans for American-made cars tax deductible. That is, that would, that would really help out actually Tesla, because Tesla's all, Tesla's all USA made, although I don't know how many of their auto parts they actually get from foreign countries, but their stuff is made in the USA. So they, I mean, if companies play ball, you know, we'll see how it goes, but I think we've got a lot of people are very hesitant because they haven't seen any kind of, they haven't seen tax cuts elsewhere. Inflation on certain things is coming down. Some of it, you can't flip a switch overnight. And I'm going to say that to some of the Republicans out there as well. You can't just flip a switch. and think that it's all going to go away just because Trump's in the White House.
Starting point is 00:09:49 A lot of this stuff takes some time to actually implement, and none of it matters if it's not made permanent. If Congress doesn't make anything permanent, then this term was a flash in the pan. Flash in the pan. So, you know, everybody, y'all's congresspeople are in your home districts. I hope you're lighting them up. Really do. I hope you're lighting them up. That's one of the reasons why the news cycle is so weird because none of them are in D.C. right now.
Starting point is 00:10:10 So it's something I definitely would consider make sure that your will is known. but April 2nd has been dubbed Liberation Day by the administration. So we'll see what happens and how that unfolds a lot. I'm just nervous about some of that. But you can't just do the tariffs to bring companies back. You're also going to have to, like I said, make for a better business environment. And you're also going to have to make sure that we make tax cuts permanent. I feel like we're doing everything possible except giving people a tax break.
Starting point is 00:10:38 So, you know, yeah, all these things are good. But I'm going to give a bigger rat's ass when we have permanent taxes for, Americans across this country were overburdened, the government overspend, and if you are not still ragingly livid over all of the waste that we saw with our tax dollars with the USAID stuff, then you're doing it wrong. I mean, you should be absolutely enraged. I'm enraged. I'm absolutely enraged over it. And then we're in tax season again. You kidding me? Of course, for some of us, it's tax season every quarter. But, you know, we're coming up for tax season again. I mean, it's just asinine. So, you know, where's the relief at? I think we would like to see and we deserve some relief.
Starting point is 00:11:19 We have headlines on the way as we roll towards the bottom of this first hour. And we're going to go through all this. Also, what to expect when Congress comes back. And we need to talk about what the GOP needs to do to make sure that they are cementing their majority. Because as it is right now, I'm a little worried. And we've got some, we got some other races to watch. So folks who help make it possible, it's our partners over at all-family pharmacy. A great website. They've come and clutch for me many, many of times. And they also have all of the antibiotics and medicines that, especially those that, I don't know, some ideologies within our government tried to make it to where you couldn't access them.
Starting point is 00:12:00 They've got the ivermectin, the hydroxychloroquine. They have over 200 medications, all of it, antibiotics, everything that you need. You strep throat, bronchive, whatever you got. They've got the medication for it. They came in clutch for me. I told you over the Thanksgiving holiday and I had some stuff overnighted, which they do. Most of the shipping takes place in just two to four days, but you can do overnight in a pinch. Your health is always within reach and everything is super affordable.
Starting point is 00:12:26 No insurance, no problem. They have straightforward pricing. The shipping's fast and easy, online ordering fast and easy. And it's one of the reasons why I love all family pharmacy. The other one is that all their stuff is made in the USA. All their precursors for these. antibiotics, all their antibiotics, all of it is made here in the USA. It's not outsourced from places like India or China.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. So the Rust movie, they're actually apparently coming out with that because nobody has any shame anymore. Variety reports that the first footage, I guess the trailer, it's the first trailer that they came out with has been released. They're still going to open that in theaters. This was after Alec Baldwin shot and killed Elena Hutchins, although he insisted a ghost pulled the trigger, apparently. And it's been released, and they're going to go, I wonder if that's going to feature in their family's reality show, where she pretends.
Starting point is 00:13:38 to be Spanish more of the life. I have zero courtesy for them or for it. It's just horrific. This is unbelievable. I saw this headling this morning. A heartless dad crashed. This is actually a weird story because I've never
Starting point is 00:13:54 heard of a dad doing this. A heartless dad crashed at 100 miles per hour and then fled the scene leaving his injured wife and kids behind. And it happened in Texas near Houston. He, uh, it was a Chevy avalanche, cut the speeding, you're driving that he was driving, cut the speeding car
Starting point is 00:14:10 up while turning into a gas station and he cut somebody off and they had an accident. And the Ford shot into the air. It was a family and a Ford Expedition, that's the car that the dad was driving. One of the children, an eight-year-old girl was ejected
Starting point is 00:14:26 upon impact. The Chevy ended up in the guardrail. The father ran from his family without hesitation according to the Houston Police Department. He sprinted off, jumped into another car and then drove him away from the horror crash. They said, he ran over the babies. He jumped over the babies, the mom and everywhere, everybody, according to the driver of the Chevy. He said the mom was bleeding everywhere. He said,
Starting point is 00:14:46 I had no idea what was going through his mind at the time or why he felt like he needed to flee. The family was rushed to a nearby hospital. They're expected to survive. Two of the three victims are unstable but critical condition. I help the woman seen a divorce lawyer. And yeah, I would absolutely straight up leave a man over that. I don't, you're damn right. I would. Oh boy I bet what's weird is I never heard a dad doing this before I have never heard a story It's always the dad that like pulls the mom out of the record
Starting point is 00:15:16 And we've actually read stories like that That's why this is so weird to me What did he like I don't know Was it planned? I don't know I'm trying to be like mystery science theater Murder mystery with us but I really kind of want to be
Starting point is 00:15:31 Oh boy you guys saw this video The woman at our precious little airport little airport which they've remodeled and it's all clean until this woman stripped naked and storms for Terminal D. Terminal D is like one of the craziest. It's an international terminal. So it's a big crazy terminal because everybody does all the international flights. It's bigger than the others. It's crazier than the others. She only had a plastic water bottle and she was screaming at nobody. And then then she screamed, I speak all languages, but naked. And they did actually detain her. It just, gosh, she wasn't a chunky.
Starting point is 00:16:07 She wouldn't a chunk one. Normally they are. She wasn't. So stick with us. We got more in store. What does living better mean to you? Is it more money, a bigger house? Now think about this.

You know, I remember when I was growing up, by the way, I love this Rolling Stone's track. It's such a great track. I wish that, you know, if all of
Starting point is 00:17:31 you could hear it, but we don't have the licensing for it because it's super expensive. But welcome. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you, bottom of this first hour. When I was a kid, I think blockbusters still meant something. Blockbusters, do people talk about blockbusters anymore? In what context?
Starting point is 00:17:50 Like Blockbuster movies. Not the store. Oh, got you. Sidebar. For all of you, 90s kids and teens, y'all know what the feeling was like. And even, well, no, 90s, because that's what I really remember. 80s, 90s. You remember that you knew that your weekend was going to be turned up when you went to
Starting point is 00:18:10 the blockbuster video with your parents. And where did you go? The first thing you did when you got into the store, you went to the new release section. I remember the smell of that store. It had like a scent, like a, not like it was like a retail video. I don't know how to describe. You know what I'm talking about, Kame. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Oh, yeah. And I remember going right to where it would say new releases. And it was always sad when you would have the, because they would have the tape underneath it. So you would, and when they didn't have the tape underneath the box, that's when you knew they didn't. Some schmuck took the movie that you were going to watch, right? And I, that was, you knew that blockbuster,
Starting point is 00:18:57 you knew, especially if you could never get that video. That was like all the big movies that came out in the theater. And I remember just if, you know, if I didn't go see in the theater, I was so excited if we were able to rent it. Like, that's so weird. I think about that. Now, we rented video cassettes. It's so weird, but we did. And then you would get the candy at the end if you were lucky, if you were lucky.
Starting point is 00:19:19 The blockbuster going to the movie blockbusters were, wasn't that when people would line up around the block to go see the movie? Isn't that how they, isn't that where that term came from? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I don't know of any film now that's been out lately that I'm really excited to see. Like now you stream it. You don't rent it. You just stream it.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Further, I don't even hardly go to the theater anymore. And I love good films, but so much of it is garbage because it's just unimaginative. It's derivative. It's just remakings of something else that was a remake of something else that was also a remake. It's just, it's insane. and I wanted to come back because there are further developments with this whole thing with the Snow White. So keep this in mind. When Snow White came out, when that film first came out, I read that it was incredibly popular.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Everybody wanted to see it. It was like their most, their Disney's, their most iconic legacy title, I think, was how it was described. And they merged like crazy off of it. And think about it. You had the Cinderella, and they started doing all these other remakes, especially the live action remakes, which never translate well. And I don't know what it is, but Disney has a difficulty in picking actresses that can't shut the hell up. Like the chick who, Hermione from Harry Potter, who was Beauty from Beauty and the Beast,
Starting point is 00:20:46 I'm one of those people that think if you're going to be casting in roles like that, you need to live up to the hype. I mean, she's pretty, but is she like beauty from Beauty and the Beast? No. you're telling me that there's no it but they want a name right although i don't think that maybe they're going to have to re-evaluate it i just think that they should maybe if your name is beauty and you're a disney princess maybe be beautiful you know what i'm saying it's not hard to i'm not being mean stop it stop it i'm well aware of my own limitations and shortcomings i'm saying i can also point them out in others so i just think maybe you'd be
Starting point is 00:21:21 beautiful if you're and if you're going to be snow white she will not apparently be quiet on social media. And I've seen a lot of debate, this Rachel Zegler girl, well people say, oh, she's like this 21-year-old girl. You know, it's so mean that the studio executives put her in this position. And then someone commented on the Instagram account of apparently the son of the producer. of the Snow White producer. Mark Platt is the producer of Snow, like one of it, but he's like the exact producer. His son, Jonah Platt, someone made that exact comment that I was talking about on his
Starting point is 00:22:14 social media account. And he went off. He said, this is what the comment was. Because Mark Platt was the dad, apparently, that flew to New York to talk with Rachel Zegler. The commenter said to Jonah Platt about his dad, quote, your dad, in New York City to reprimand a young actress. Any words on this? Because that's creepy as hell and uncalled for. People have the right to free speech, no. Shame on your father. Jonah Platt writes, you really want to do this? Yeah, my dad, the producer of an enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the
Starting point is 00:22:52 middle of promoting a movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for this is called adult responsibility and accountability and her actions clearly hurt the film's box office free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want your private employment without repercussions tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires and at the risk of all of her colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful he added and i thought this was chef's kiss narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged. He made a good point because a lot of people were coming out and saying,
Starting point is 00:23:33 oh, well, Rachel Zegler, who would not, she was the chick who came out was like Trump supporter. What did she say? Like basically Trump supporters go to hell don't see my movie or something like that. I don't even remember what she said, but it was something so stupid and ridiculous. And then she just kept, she was like, vote Kamala. And then she said free Palestine and all the stupid, which doesn't exist. So how can you free it? So, and she, her behavior, especially over God, this chick who was born. Again, why are all of these trust fund socialists? They're born rich.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Like the Jasmine Crockett, the Rachel Zegler. They all come from money. They grew up with money. That's why they're in the films and the movies and all where they are because they had all of these opportunities that their mommy and daddy's money bought them. And so she's like so far removed from what's happening in the Middle East. The closest that she came to it was probably a history class she took in school
Starting point is 00:24:21 while she was being tutored on set. Let's get real. But they were making her sound like she's like this helpless and it's just this helpless little kid, right? Which is so far from the truth, if you're 20 and 21 years old, dear heavens, I had my own roof over my own head when it was 21 years old.
Starting point is 00:24:36 And I didn't grow up in the Great Depression, okay? I was, I'm baby Gen X. I was a 90s kid. So I can't stand this, spinning that. Oh, I can't, you can't be responsible if you're this, you know, you're this old and you can't, you know, you can't do any of this. I find that so, that's not an excuse.
Starting point is 00:24:55 And also when you're in the position that she's in, you have an agent, you have a manager, you have somebody that's special that looks over your finances, you have, goodness, obviously your parents and your family and all of these people around you. When you sign a contract, you have your manager look at it, your agent. She's got a manager and an agent. So you have all of those people, probably an extra, you know, an attorney, your own attorney, all of these people that are advising you on what to do, the decisions to make, and also how to act. And this idea that she's just out there floating in the ether with no guidance or direction,
Starting point is 00:25:44 and that's what's intimated by this is pretty, it's asinine. So she has a team of people that work with her. when you're signing multi-million dollar contracts to be in movies, you're doing a job. 20 and 21-year-olds are not children. They're grown people. Stop infantilizing people as a way to excuse them of their bad behavior. She's just an entitled, mouthy brat, and it's starting to look cringe because you can't be a brat anymore when you're 20 or 21. You're a grown-ass woman.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Stop it. Either be empowered or be a baby, but pick a lane. So now she's feeling the full weight of these consequences of her actions. And, you know, there's, and apparently like the, there's all this stuff leaking out, like the set energy was real bad. And apparently her behavior with regards to Gaza was so bad. Galgado started getting death threats like crazy because Rachel Zegler wouldn't. Apparently, according to what Vanity Fair and everybody else was saying, she wouldn't stop running her mouth. And as a result, endangered her co-star.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Who's a mother of four? I mean, she also literally just had a baby. So I don't know if you saw that came out. I have that on my substack that I sent out to you subscribers. So she was getting tons of death threats from what this crazy stuff that her co-star was saying. And that's kind of, that's, how do you, she had extra security when she was going out just preparing and promoting. and promoting the film. And I don't think a lot of people
Starting point is 00:27:21 gave that enough attention. I mean, that's, that's, you know, that's, it's pretty unbelievable. And they were trying to say, oh, well, there's, there's controversy also by they, I mean the press.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh, there's controversy also because of Galgado. There was no controversy because of Galgado. She's Israeli. That's, you know, she's not controversial just because she's Israeli. So I, I, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I, she just won't stop talking. Audio, Sunbyte 19. She just won't stop talking. And to everyone who hates when I win the wind victory came to the Louvre in
Starting point is 00:28:00 pieces. What? And people still line up to see her. She's such a bad actress. And I can only hope that despite my flaws and despite my cracks and my bricks and there are many of them cliched words and cliched acting.
Starting point is 00:28:17 That at every premiere and everything I do, people will wait in line to see. They're not, though. No one's, literally nobody's there in the theater. So she rented out a whole theater for herself, didn't she? Or was that what I read? Or she probably didn't have to. It was money wasted. Nobody's going to see it. They're all empty. Yeah, nobody's going to see it. She just seems that's, she's like an avatar for the liberal mentality. and apparently nobody in her life is directing her any different. And that's really a letdown by her management and her agent. When you have Disney executives meeting with you telling you,
Starting point is 00:28:57 can you stop promoting Hamas? And yeah, when you're out there saying, you know, free Palestine, that's exactly what you're doing. Palestine's a fake place that doesn't exist. Hamas is a terror group. And the people that voted for Hamas are terrorists too. If you don't know enough about an issue, we don't, we have a vain society that thinks that it
Starting point is 00:29:16 doesn't matter if they don't know enough about a particular issue. The world deserves their opinion anyway. We deserve the burden of these dumbasses opinions. They think it doesn't matter if they don't know. She doesn't know. And think about it. You have Disney executives flying across the country because you're running a mouth about a foreign policy ongoing conflict. And then you are attacking half of the country, half of the country's voters. going after and maligning people who voted one way. And she wouldn't take anything down. And then when it was like a half-hearted kind of apology, not really an apology,
Starting point is 00:29:57 some are saying, oh, well, you know, you can't, you shouldn't cancel this girl. You shouldn't go, this is not about cancellation. Please don't use words that you don't understand. Because then we all have to take time out of our day and correct it. This is about accountability. Don't mistake for the purpose of deflection, accountability with cancel. ability. They're two entirely different things. You don't get a pass on your stupid actions by screaming cancel, don't cancel me as some sort of like inoculation. That's not how this works. If you do something
Starting point is 00:30:29 stupid, yeah, you tend to have to reap the consequences of that something stupid. It's not, like I said, difficult. So that's what this is. You're not immune from consequence. And this wasn't about free speech. No one stopped her from saying it. They're just not protecting her from the consequences. of her own choices. And that's what a lot of these people that scream about free speech, particularly foreign students who are here, who are acting and out in ways that violate the agreements of their permission to visit, no one's stopping anybody from saying anything. But there is a consequence to being stupid and demanding that you being protected from the consequence of the stupid thing that you did or said. That's not free speech. You're just demanding a pass. We have a lot more

Starting point is 00:33:04 They're fighting for a 2% issue. That's good. Let them keep doing it. No matter how many surgeries you have or chemicals you. inject, if you're born with male DNA in every cell, if your body, you can never become a woman. You're not going to be a woman. I mean, where's the lie? That's what POTUS was saying in his recent remarks.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Where's the lie, though? No lie. There is no lie. No matter what you do, no matter if you, you know, get a breast implants, doesn't matter if you grow your hair out or get extensions. It doesn't matter. If you wear lipstick or panties or any of the other thing, it doesn't matter. Even if it wear heels? Even if you wear heels, even if you put on makeup and you do your nails, even if you have exaggerated hand movements, although I've never seen a chick talk like that, you're still not going to be a dude.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I've been wrongfully informed these past several years. Apparently, you have been, sir, wrongfully informed. Not going to be a dude. And you're not going to force people because you can't be one. you're not going to have as your choice be to force everyone to accommodate you by
Starting point is 00:34:16 affirming your cosplay. No more than I'm going to force people to give me the perks of being a billionaire without actually, you know, being a billionaire. Take that somewhere else. What if I showed up in Monica and was like, where's my yacht? I identify
Starting point is 00:34:32 as a yacht owning billionaire. Where is it going to go cruise the Ejean? where's it at? No one's going to go, oh, this woman believes that she owns a yacht and is a billionaire. We must accommodate her because the nice thing to do is indulge her fantasy, but we're going to accommodate her at the expense of everyone else. No, they're not going to do that. They're going to go, who is
Starting point is 00:34:55 this crazy bee? Where is her husband to get her? Get this woman. That's what they're going to say. You know, that's I don't know I mean if we're going we're going to pick and choose what we're going to quote unquote affirm and you know what a firm means a firm isn't tolerance a firm is accept
Starting point is 00:35:17 and it goes beyond that affirm is you have to actively accept and validate that's what that means we are a long way from tolerance are we not coming up in our second hour the GOP house majority is in question
Starting point is 00:35:36 so much so that at least defa phonics UN ambassadorship nomination is being reconsidered. Stay with us. You've heard me talk about Brenna before. I always think it's good to have a diversified implements for self-defense, and I'm always going to carry a firearm, and I have zero issues using lethal force at all whatsoever to protect myself or my loved one. So that being said, I'm not able to carry everywhere. I have friends that live in York and D.C. They're not able to carry everywhere. They, you know, have big kids. They got big kid jobs. They got to go to work and municipal restrictions. You guys know the drill. The burner gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. It's a good deterrent.
Starting point is 00:36:19 And the best selling model is the Burna SD, right? There's no recoil. There's no background check. It's illegal in all 50 states. It doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. And there's no permits, nothing. It ships right to your door. You can choose your model. The cost. There's different projectiles and accessories there. So for my friends who are barred from their constitutional rights, by living and working in D.C. or Manhattan, they do carry burn a guns because you guys see the crime rate for those cities. They don't want to be left as statistic.
Starting point is 00:36:48 You carry blades. You have rifles and pistols. You have all different calibers. It's good to have diversity. So reevaluate yourself, defense plans and options. Visit burnah.com slash Dana. That's B.RNA.com slash Dana. That's where you get 10% off your purchase.
Starting point is 00:37:02 We are ecstatic to see an administration finally address the unfair trade laws in this country. These laws have destroyed the American working class. They've destroyed communities in this country and virtually every state for decades. I love whenever they have the traffic in the background because it sounds like some of those vehicles were also trying to get their chance at the mic. Welcome back to the program top of the second hour. Daniel Lash with you, that was Sean Fane, the president of UAW. And of course, he was making this remark right after the announcement came out, POTUS saying that he's going to be applying a 25% tariff to all vehicles,
Starting point is 00:37:48 foreign made vehicles and auto parts. So that's an interesting move. Very interesting move. Because what is that going to do? What impact is that going to have? And we talked about that steel plant that was in Louisiana that Hyundai's doing in Louisiana. That's going to create about 1,300 jobs. And I understand, too, that it's also part of the pushback to stop, really, ultimately stop the unfair targeting.
Starting point is 00:38:19 The unfairness overall against the U.S. as it pertains to tariffs. I mean, we've been, we're hammered. And yet, if we try to reciprocate, then we're the ones accused of somehow jeopardizing free and fair trade, which doesn't make sense. I don't know why we, why nobody's saying, there's no criticism of the other countries that are doing it. Because what, we're just trying to help out our own markets. I do understand that argument. I really do.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Whether or not this ends up being a successful thing, there's a lot of stuff that goes into that. because you have the economy right now to think about. We, the economy, you've got inflation. Although I realize that some things are starting to stabilize with others. It takes longer. But consider also, there's a lot of, I agree with you, we need to have more domestic manufacturing. We should be onshore and all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I have no, but, you know, we had for years, Democrats, with the help of some Republicans, but it was mainly Democrats that made it a very, very hostile, very hostile place for business to flourish. And it resulted in people sending out jobs. The amount of foreign-made cars, would you say what is it? I don't think it's half, Kane, but I know that, I mean, there are a lot of Americans have buy foreign-made cars. Lots of Americans have buy foreign-made cars. A lot of cars, you know, USA companies, parts or different pieces or the whole car made in Mexico. that's going to increase on average.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I think the best guesstimation was anywhere from $3,000 to $12,000 per vehicle. That's kind of what we're looking at. And so is that something that Americans are going to be able to handle? American families, are they going to be able to swing something like that? There's a lot of stuff that goes into it. I think that it would be better received if we had tax cuts. I'm going to always come back to that. I'm always going to come back to it.
Starting point is 00:40:33 It's true. But the 25% that also includes, like I said, the auto parts. And yes, I think you can view these as a shot in the arm for many who would definitely
Starting point is 00:40:53 like to have these jobs. We've had the sector that's been struggling for a long time due to these trade policies. I mean, I see both sides of the argument. I see that, you know, millions of American manufacturing jobs have disappeared. I get that this is looking at the bigger picture of long-term economic sustainability. But I also understand the argument that people are saying, well, it's sticker shock too.
Starting point is 00:41:19 You're going to, I mean, industry experts have been out there saying it looks like $3,000 to $12,000 per car. And that's going to be a price increase that's going to land on. families. You might have people scale back production rather than relocate. Others may just say, you know, well, that means that we're going to have less. Maybe we're not going to have newer models, as many newer models. Maybe we're going to cut corners somewhere else. Some argue and say, well, that's, you know, we understand your concerns, but, you know, the cost kind of was already paid by steelworkers and the machinists who all lost their jobs. when you had all these foreign automakers flooding the market.
Starting point is 00:42:03 And as Kane noted, it was 45% price increase? It was, it was. I know it was a big price increase. On used car prices, they really shot up. It was closer to 20, 25% on the new car prices, but it was still a jump from 21 to 2021, 2022, huge increase in car prices, both used and new. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Trump also suggesting making interest on loans for American-made cars, tax deductible. Now that would that would be a jolt a shot in the arm, I think. Any way that they can cushion the blow for everyday Americans though, that's going to be key.
Starting point is 00:42:40 If he's doing stuff like, just imagine it. We have, imagine if Congress was able to make more unleash domestic energy production, more manufacturing, we also cut government spending and we made
Starting point is 00:42:56 tax cuts. We lowered tax cuts. We lowered tax cuts. and lowered taxes, rather, and made the tax cuts permanent. Holy cow. I think the result would make Reagan's economic victories and gains look small by comparison. But we don't have the backbone in Congress to do it. And we're losing out of the numbers, which brings me to my next story. Elise Stefanix, her nomination to be UN ambassador, is in jeopardy. I was warning about this from the get-go for good reason.
Starting point is 00:43:30 because not because I don't dislike at least Stefanik or yes I think the UN is a ridiculous organization and we all just play pretend in it and we just give them prime real estate in Manhattan why I mean I agree with all of that but we barely have a majority in the house we're almost
Starting point is 00:43:49 tied I mean in terms of tied up we're almost not able to do anything we it's 218 to 213 and this is like I said, what, three seats, all that needs to be flipped for Democrats to get this majority in midterms, which I'm going to say every day now. Now, she has the votes to get confirmed. She has not resigned from her seat in Congress. And apparently there have been a lot of discussions with House Republican, with congressional leaders.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And they're a little worried about what that means for getting anything done. any other things done in Congress if Stefanik leaves and joins the administration. The administration has picked a number of members of its cabinet advisors from the House. And the problem is that we've now, we've shrunk our majority, which was already tight. We have the narrowest majority in over 100 years. That's how tight it is. I don't think that, I don't think anybody else from the house should be considered for anything. I don't think that she should be considered for this. And that's not to say anything about her record or it's not personal. I'm looking at the numbers. Because then you're going to have to defend her seat in New York. And she's been there for a while,
Starting point is 00:45:10 but that doesn't mean anything anymore, as we've learned time and time again. I mean, you, we could easily, that's something you could use. She's in the 21st district. She's in her fifth term. And she's got five terms in the 21st district because she's able to walk the line of being an effective enough lawmaker while also being bombastic but not so bombastic that that's all she's known for. So she's found, I think, a nice balance with that. And her voters like her. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the next Republican that comes in is going to be successful. Case in point, the sixth congressional district in Florida, where you have a giant rhino who was, I don't know why. Somebody told POTUS to endorse this guy and they gave POTUS some really big.
Starting point is 00:45:57 bad advice. There are still some vipers in his inner circle, guys. So, and he was on our show, Randy Fine. He's actually within the margin of error with the Democrat. This was a seat that Mike Waltz had. He won by over 30 points. Trump carried those to see and just carried this district. I mean, it was overwhelmingly red. And now the rhino that the establishment decided to con the president into backing is not. He may not turn it out. It's actually been declared a toss-up. It is, they are, they're virtually tied.
Starting point is 00:46:35 There's no daylight. I have no idea how this race is going to go. No idea. But this is a house seat that we need. And it was a red Republican house seat. It was Mike Walts's seat. And now it could go blue. Because the Republican establishment conned the president into backing the worst squish,
Starting point is 00:46:57 who is he backs gun control he doesn't like e-verify you know he likes to be you know he loves uh well he's he'll answer to the highest bidder that's a fact so we could lose that seat to a democrat that's another reason by the way i don't want mike waltz fired because it would all be for nothing imagine you leave your seat and you jeopardize the house majority to go serve in the president's cabinet and that's one of the reasons why Democrats are gunning for him. Democrats want Mike Waltz out of the way because they know they've got him out of that house seat. He's in the cabinet now. They want to get him out of the cabinet.
Starting point is 00:47:40 That all jeopardized. It'll all be for nothing. It'll all be such a horrible, horrible, horrible stain. That's, so that's one of, that's the reason I don't want him to leave. I get very Machiavelli and about strategy, yes. I do not want him to leave. If you can sit here and say take the L all day long, that's great. He's not giving up the seat.
Starting point is 00:48:00 He's not giving up the position. And so now they're considering replacing Stefonic as the nominee for this U.S. ambassadorship. I think that it is a stupid waste to take another of your house members, jeopardize your majority further and wasted on the U.N. It's an ornamental position. You can you just get B-roll for future campaigns. You don't actually have any authority to do anything there.
Starting point is 00:48:31 The UN is a choke. It's an absolute joke. And so this, I don't know. I just, I hope that that is listened. I hope that they listen to it. They listen to these congressional leaders that are warning about this. but I don't know I just think you're endangering this seat
Starting point is 00:48:59 so the 21st just and she like I said she's been there for five terms you know it's you can't depend on everything being so reliably red I just wouldn't want it to because this was a they went for Obama they went for Trump Trump did really well in this district but it is flipped
Starting point is 00:49:17 it's it's one of those districts that was pretty solid blue and then in 2016 they went for Trump and then they started getting more and more red but again I've got two examples
Starting point is 00:49:32 of other house races and the sixth congressional district in Florida is one of those examples you cannot jeopardize this you cannot mess around with it so they're they're trying to determine who they can pick I don't think you need a star
Starting point is 00:49:47 I don't think that you know I hate using that phrase but I don't think that you need one of your starting players to be the ambassador to the UN. Nikki Haley had that position before. I don't think that you need to put one of your starting players in that position. It's the UN. Don't waste it. It's an ornamental thing.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Do not take Stefanic out of the house. They need to find, the administration needs to find a different person for this. Because the last thing we need is a smaller majority in the house that already is the smallest Republican majority in over a century. last thing that we need to do is take her out. We have more on the way. Friends over at Preborn, great organization. They help save women and they help save babies.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And a donation, a small donation, every amount matters, will help save babies in a big way. You know that they've done studies wherein they survey expectant mothers who are actually considering abortion. And when these mothers hear, their child's heartbeat, that baby's chance at life increases. by 50%. And pre-born is right there every step of the way. Every ultrasound saves lives. $28 provides an ultrasound. $140 helps rescue five babies. You could even go so far as a $5,000 leadership gift. That sponsors their network for 24 hours. And that can rescue as little, I mean, I don't want to say as few as or somehow diminish the lives, but 200 babies. It's crazy. 200 lives by sponsoring their network for 24 hours. And that's what pre-born does. And then after that, they partner with women
Starting point is 00:51:24 to make sure that they have everything they need for the first two years of their child's life. So they not only help these women choose life, but they underscore and help make strong families. Pre-born is a four-star charity rating. You can give with confidence. If you have the means, please consider a gift to save babies in a big way. Donate by calling pound 250, say the word baby or give securely at preborn.com slash Dana. That's pound 250. Say the word baby to help save lives. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I don't believe these people.
Starting point is 00:51:58 A demonic sea lion reports sparks, reports spark concerns about toxic algae on the California coast. My favorite thing is watching these people with these boards that say marine wildlife rescue try to corner the sea lion. So Californians are concerned. They say that the toxic algae is poisoning the sea lion. and making them act demonic. I know. They're playing metal backwards
Starting point is 00:52:25 and all kinds of stuff on the beach up there. It's wild. That's what the sea lions are doing. Yeah, they, now here's what's funny. They're saying, Californians are like,
Starting point is 00:52:34 they're acting demonic. That's what ABC said. They're being poisoned by demoic acid. What's the name of that acid? Demoic. That seems intentional. That seems intentional.
Starting point is 00:52:48 It seems intentional because the Californians are like, they're acting like demonic and stuff. Like, oh my gosh. I'm just doing a valley girl accent. It's a neurotoxin within the algae blooms. So the fish eat the algae blooms. The sea lions eat the fish.
Starting point is 00:53:05 And then ingesting that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning in humans and marine mammals. Marine mammals. We're going with it. They said that they've been acting aggressively. And so they go back and forth from being super aggressive. to being totally lethargic. They said they look like they're stargazing.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Some of them, they have a seizure and they look real sleepy, or they're abnormally aggressive. And they're scaring the hell out of the Californians. In Ventura, California. One surfer said that he was attacked at Oxnard State Beach by a quote-unquote demonic sea lion that bit him and dragged him off his board. Dang.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I'm just saying, you've got to share their house. Old school metal braces are coming back. I don't know. I thought Invisaline was pretty good, guys. Why are they coming? They're like, apparently it's like a status symbol because people are desperate to signal something. They're saying that they're coming back and it is, it's actually being looked at as a status symbol. It's a cool thing to have on your teeth now. If you need to use that to sell it to your kids, do it.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Stick with us. Super beats. The only, super, the only beat product that I recommend to you. Sorry, just not a big fan of the other ones. I think this one is the one that has, well, not only because I know it works, but I mean, I started taking it before they started working with me. but also they put a lot of effort into every product that they bring to market. They have actual scientists and medical professionals that they work with, and they are sticklers for detail.
Starting point is 00:54:32 So you know the superbeats, heart chews for heart health. Well, they have super barine. This supports healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels. It's a plant-based formula, and it's burbering in Italian olive fruit extract. And the burbering that they used, they wanted a particular type of burbering. and they had this, what they used, clinically studied. It actually delivers 10 times higher absorption than standard burbering, which means fewer pills to swallow.
Starting point is 00:54:58 You get metabolism and healthy blood sugar support benefits in one capsule a day. And because I can literally hear Nano right now asking this question, there's no GI distress. If you're worried about burbering causing GI distress, their unique formula with grape seed extract actually improves tolerability. You can get both the Superboreen and the number one best-selling Superbeats Hard Shoes. It's Sam's Club. That's where you can go purchase Superbeats Heart Juice for your heart health support and the superbrewering for healthy metabolism and blood sugar support.

Whenever you want, straight to you on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. Bottom of the second hour, Channel 347 DirecTV is the simulcast. the chats at Rumble. We got YouTube, Facebook, X, all those good things.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I was watching this hearing, just back and forth, between the head of NPR, which is a propaganda entity. Let's be real about it. And this, the head of NPR, Catherine Maher, who apparently,
Starting point is 00:56:16 this is interesting, is described as also being chair of the board of directors at the Signal Foundation. Signal. Where have I heard that before? Well, the Signal Foundation is, it's an open source private technology. It's what it is. And it's the app that, interestingly enough, featured in the story this week, Kane.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Do you believe in coincidences as it relates to anything regarding politics? Because I don't. There is no such thing as a coincidence in politics. If you're in D.C. and you're like, huh, this seems like a coincidence. That's the equivalent of Neo seeing the cat, the same cat, which, by the way, I thought that was a horrible way to do deja vu. That's not what deja vu was. And then my only criticism about the first matrix.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Remember where he had deja vu and he saw the same cat? It's like that's the feeling. When things become too just, hmm, coincidental and politics or anything related to D.C. Anything? That is a red sign. That's a red flag. And she has been president of NPR for about a year now. She took over last year.
Starting point is 00:57:42 And she's chair of the board of the Signal Foundation. I don't think that she's stepped up. down. I mean, not at least that I've seen. So that seems to be problematic. She apparently also was an appointed member of the U.S. Department of State's Foreign Affairs Policy Board where she advises Secretary of State on Tech Policy. Here's why I bring this up. She's one of those super woke scolds, right? Big time wokesgold. According to her own tweets, it's not like we're making this up about her just because she's at NPR. I mean, this is like a according to her own actual tweets.
Starting point is 00:58:19 So she's this big woke scold. And she was before a House subcommittee yesterday testifying about this, you know, it's an ongoing examination in the wake of the U.S. aid money and the waste, fraud, and abuse. And she was testifying, answering questions for members of Congress. And it was really interesting because you know, members of Congress are going to do their due diligence on her. And they're going to have looked at her tweets. They're going to have looked or her posts on X rather. They're going to have looked at all this.
Starting point is 00:59:06 So I don't know why you would obfuscate or deflect or, you know, whatever it is. So she is a totally caught off guard. She's answering these questions in this subcommittee hearing. And this is after she had, you know, already come asking for more taxpayer dollars, et cetera. And she got caught in a web of her own insanity. This is, and I'm glad to see him doing this, because I previously did not like the stunt with the thing, the $100 bill, whatever. and I'm like, oh, we got to get serious about all this stuff. This is exactly, I think, what Brendan Gill should be doing.
Starting point is 00:59:54 He's a congressman from Texas from my area. And it was his questioning, and this was really, I thought this was really good for a number of reasons. Let me set this up. I think he's a millennial. But he has this borrowed Gen Z cynicism that you can only have gotten from being associated with Gen X. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:00:20 There's this Gen X cynicism and a Gen Z delivery that I thought goes over really well here. It made me think of the ramen noodle guy. Remember the guy who was munching just legit a package of ramen noodles? And he was correcting, what's his face? Cuomo. I got those vibes from this.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Everybody has their own niche to fill and they have their own style. and I think if Gil keeps doing this because he's a freshman congressman, I think if he keeps doing this, this is going to be a completely empty space that not many people can occupy. So he's there in the hearing, and I didn't pay too much attention to the stack of papers that he had literally right at his right side until he lifted them up. Now, it's a little long, but it's actually hysterical. The nuance in his voice, and then the way he kind of like shrugs his eyebrows when he's questioning her. It's just comical.
Starting point is 01:01:22 It is hysterical. You need to watch this. Listen to how this exchange goes down. Ms. Marr, I want to start with you just generally. Would you say you generally agree or disagree with the following statement? The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles? I would not say I did. That's good to hear.
Starting point is 01:01:45 It's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism. Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. It has evolved. Why did you tweet that? I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white, democracy? I don't believe that, sir. You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, the case for reparations. I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. You tweeted about it. You said you took a day off to fully read the case for reparations. You put that on Twitter in January of 2020. I apologize. I don't recall that I did. I'm no doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that. Okay. Do you believe that? white people inherently feel superior to other races?
Starting point is 01:02:48 I do not. You don't, you tweeted something to that effect. You said, I grew up feeling superior, ha, how wide of me. Why did you tweet that? I think I was probably reflecting on what it was to be, to grow up in an environment where I had lots of advantages. It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior. I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir.
Starting point is 01:03:10 I was just reflecting on my own experiences. Do you think that white people should pay reparations? I have never said that, sir. Yes, you did. I didn't in January 2020. You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us. Yes, America. Yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Yes, reparations. Yes, on this day. I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir. What kind of reparations was it a reference to? I think that's just a reference to the idea that we all owe much to the people who came before us. My favorite part of this whole thing, there's two. The first one is he goes, he's holding up. the paper and he goes, yes, you did. And then when he's like, when he looks right at it and he raises
Starting point is 01:03:51 his eyebrows and he's like, so, you think that, you know, people should pay. It was hysterical. Why do I like this so much? I thought about this. Because normally the, and I'm going to get, yes, I'm going to get to the thing where he was, you know, the meat and potatoes, but he's actually questioning the NPR CEO or president. There's a reason why I like this so much. And I think that this stands out to me because it's a different type of GOP. We have, and I'm going to deep dive with you here for a second, so hold on with me. For the past eight years, and I'm not saying I don't like this style, but we've had this for the past eight years.
Starting point is 01:04:37 a very confrontational in your face brawler type of messaging and response and I get it because I'm one of the people who's been doing it since 2008 before then really so I get it
Starting point is 01:04:53 I think that there's a time for that but I also think that many Republicans have forgotten how to play that there's a time for it and many Republicans have forgotten that there is a time for it and many Republicans have forgotten that there is a time for it, that you just do it all the time. And with this attention economy, clickbait culture,
Starting point is 01:05:14 that's rewarded. The more bombastic. And I'm not saying it's bad, but sometimes after a while, it seems performative. You know what I mean? It seems performative. It seems as though you're doing it for the purpose of theatrics rather than genuine out. I mean, yes, your outrage. But to that degree, I don't know. And not everybody in D.C. is a good enough actor. And I think that's why this stood out to me so much because it was so effective without trying to be. There was not a, you know, perfectly polished, focused group soundbite that Gill delivered. And a lot of these lawmakers, they have their, you know, their comebacks ready to go. And they got the cameras ready.
Starting point is 01:05:58 And they know exactly they're going to pull this for some B-roll footage for a campaign ad. They got it already. I didn't get that with this. It was very organic. and there was a sense it almost met the measure of smarminess but it didn't he was respectful
Starting point is 01:06:15 but very cynical it was one of those where I mean he would he would moot for the purpose of moving on he'd go okay and then he would move on and ask the next thing but it was the tone and the I mean he was well prepared and I mean him holding up that piece of paper
Starting point is 01:06:34 was just like that ramen noodle dude man yes you did yeah you did and he just shows her it was organic and that made it hysterical there is I think this is what Republicans need to develop more because you have people like Marjorie Taylor Green very theatrical Nancy Grace very performative I'm not knocking them I'm just saying that's what that's they're very very performative performative outrage this here what we see with Gil is organic and almost like a Gen X brand of organic cynicism. And it plays so well. It's like Arrested Development meets Schitt's Creek. Right? I think that's why I like it so much because he's not trying to like, well, yeah, well, he's not trying to do that.
Starting point is 01:07:31 He's just a cynic. And he's just sitting there like, yeah, you did. And, you know, it would say, you believe reparations. He's got like this, this like a tenor like grit in his voice. It's very Gen X, but Gen Z delivery. Don't you agree, Kane? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Isn't that, I think that's why it works so well. Yeah. And do you agree with my point about, I think we're getting tired of the over-performative outrage theater? Yes. Because all we've seen it is Democrats do is turn the volume up on that. And it's, clearly is a turnoff to most of the country.
Starting point is 01:08:09 And Republicans respond by also turning up the volume. And then nobody gets any... You learned more about this woman in those two minutes and six seconds with that line of questioning because he allowed her to talk. He wasn't trying to like...
Starting point is 01:08:24 But also you knew exactly who was leading whom here. There's no question. I think Republicans need to adopt more of this. But I also think that... I can't see Marjorie Taylor Green doing this. And not an ounce of... hyperbole. No, no hyperbole at all. Which is all the Democrats use. And some Republicans, that's why I'm like, I want to see more of this. Because that was hysterical. Yeah, you did. That's hysterical. And I don't know why that's not like a meme because it's funny. It was funny. I watched it like three times. It was hysterical. Yes, you did. Like, do you think white people should pay reparations? I never said that. Yeah. And it holds out, yeah, you did. It's just funny. It's just funny.
Starting point is 01:09:07 money. That's, it's very interesting. Very, very interesting. I think that's why I like that exchange so much, like I said. And she had to answer for all of it. He noted that she came begging with PBS, begging for more taxpayer money, and she handed him a mug labeled Made in Texas, right? And he turned it over and the sticker at the bottom literally says made in China. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024 consistently. reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs' research, the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take action and why I've bought precious metals like gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco. They're a huge supporter of this show, and they're the best at what they do. And right now you can get a free 2025 gold and silver kit jam-packed with critical information about buying precious metals. It was a huge help, not just for me, but to all of you if you do this.

This guy is supposed to be 40 years old.
Starting point is 01:10:40 He's 40 years over 20. Dude, Kane and I are freaking out over this. So a Florida man dressed up as a clown was taken down. I'm going to get through it. Florida man dressed as a clown was taken down by officers for allegedly trespassing. And there's footage. It was Palm Bay. 40-year-old Christopher Marlowe was charged with trespassing after a warning.
Starting point is 01:11:03 And he clashed with police officers. This was just the other day at a shopping plaza. and they said that he'd already been banned from the plaza prior to the incident. They were going to get him for blanket trespass. He was yelling to himself, loitering and, quote, serving no purpose on the property. He was described as aggressive, and he said, quote, I'm not trespassed. I'm going to come back. Blank y'all.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Oh, look at that. Yeah. And the Palm Bay Police Department shared a compilation of the body camera footage with the circus music. And it showed his arrest. And he's there. Now, it says clown. But Kane clearly That's a
Starting point is 01:11:43 Looks like a Ronald McDonald outfit He bawled up his fist And they said took a bladed stance And was challenging them to fight him They go, you look like a clown Said one of the arresting officers And he says, quote, I am a clown Okay
Starting point is 01:11:59 I guess his name's not happy No his name is And then he clearly was not going to comply When they asked for him to get his mug shot Standing there with his mouth gaping open With his teeths it's generous to make it plural like that yeah his tea it's very generous oh my gosh all right all right all right i got to move on so we also have a florida oh i got the meth we had the meth underwear one already uh this uh florida man was accused of firing his rifle for target practice at his apartment after watching a military movie christopher gaffney was accused 30 30 years old he fired a rifle outside of his apartment complex a Apparently there were kids playing in the yard.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Not his kids. Just some kids. He's facing charges. Apparently he was drunk. So they're saying that he was using it under the influence and he is currently in jail. He says, I was watching a military movie and it made him want to get out and make a makeshift target out of a tree and all this. And he made up, fashioned up a target that he missed multiple times. He didn't hit anything.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Not even in the target, thankfully. So, yeah, he's got in trouble for that. I can't deal with these.

Starting point is 01:14:35 I like it. That's POTIS speaking yesterday. And it's funny. Because he's, he meant to say, What was he going to say? The, like in vitro or whatever. And he just said fertilization president.
Starting point is 01:14:49 It's kind of funny. But I love how he goes. I also like, which I think isn't getting as much attention. He's got a bag of goodies here. Got some goodies in the bag for you ladies. Can I just, can we isolate that? Come to the goody room. I'm just.
Starting point is 01:15:08 We're going to have tremendous, tremendous goodies in the bag for women, too. the women between the fertilization and oil. I voted for tremendous goodies. Okay. I don't know what came. What you vote for? I voted for tremendous goodies.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Sure. Absolutely. Any adjective goodies. I think I might just delete everything on my ex-bio and just have tremendous goodies. I'm put in there. Bag of tremendous goodies. Oh, can we save that? I just need it.
Starting point is 01:15:39 I need it as a stinger. Welcome by. Hi, guys. By the way. Welcome back to the show. show. Dana Lash with you. I'm just so I have this plane and I got the last mugshot of the Florida man staring at me right now. So it's weird. I'm just like, what is happening with my desktop screen? Good to be back with you. Top of the third hour. The chat's at Rumble. I can't be held responsible.

Can I just one more time? No, you don't need to play it. I just want to say tremendous goodies. You don't want to hear it? Yeah. I do. We're going to have tremendous, tremendous goodies in the bag.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Yeah. So, ladies, next time somebody asked me, well, what did you vote for? I voted for tremendous goodies in the bag. Thank you. That's what I voted for.
Starting point is 01:16:32 All right. A few things to touch on, which I didn't get to this, but I'm going to. I tweeted, actually, I know I tweeted about it. I tweeted about, I don't know if you guys saw this. you guys know Yeti right the company
Starting point is 01:16:46 everybody knows the Yeti people they make their super expensive coolers and they got they I feel like they turned their back on the people that made them I feel like they turned their back on hunters and and gun owners and all of that because they decided to really get away they and Under Armour sort of did
Starting point is 01:17:07 they I know some people who work in the who work in the hunting industry industry. Like they, you know, products, things like actual legitimate hunters. And they had sponsorships with Under Armour and they can't post stuff with guns and things like that. It's real weird. I'm not going to say who because I don't want to
Starting point is 01:17:24 they're dear friends and there's nothing bad meant about it from there and but they're just like, you know, this is what's happening. I bring this up because I saw this, I reposted it the other day. Claire Boothloose Center
Starting point is 01:17:39 for conservative women. It's a 80s organization. You know, they also voted for tremendous goodies. I'm for the rest of the hour. They were getting ready. It's a Virginia-based organization, and they were, they've had,
Starting point is 01:17:56 they've done this before. And they order these, they're like, they're Yeties, but they're coffee mugs. They're not, which I don't understand, honestly, the point of it. I'm like, I drink coffee tatum fast. Keeps it warmer longer.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Okay. I don't know. Is it dishwashers safe? Because Dana doesn't buy nothing unless it's dishwashers safe. I think the actual coffee cup ones are. I heard someone scream out there. You said washer. I did.
Starting point is 01:18:21 Dish washer is exactly what the word is. There's no RR. There's no RR. Dish Worsher. Tremendousouser. Dishwasher. So they ordered these personalized, what do they call them? Seafone green.
Starting point is 01:18:39 It's almost like a, it's like a next. nearly almost a Tiffany Blue. Anyway. So they ordered, you know, companies get these tumblers and they put their company name on them and they send them out and that's, you know, normal. So they were buying, I don't know how many, but they had put in a reorder is what they said. They've done this before. They put in a reorder of these tumblers, this seafone green tumblers.
Starting point is 01:19:07 and they noticed, like I said, they've done it before, same order, so it's a reorder. They didn't order more, so don't think that it wasn't because they couldn't fulfill it, because they were, they just, they've done it before, they reordered them. And then all was going well until all of a sudden they heard back from the Yeti people. And the Yeti people told them that they could not do it. they said that their logo includes the phrase quote unquote conservative women
Starting point is 01:19:42 and they after they sent all their cancellation emails after they paid over $1,600 after all of that they had the cancellation email from the Yeti people and it said their order was canceled
Starting point is 01:20:04 because the logo includes the phrase conservative women. Now that to me seems to be a problem here. I mean, I don't know why that's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's like in their, uh, group name. And they've, they've, they've had them before because they, you can throw, I know Juan just showed it to you, but the reason they have this mug is because they ordered it before. And they had no problem with it. There was no problem with us.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I'm looking at the mug on my screen. There was no problem with it. So what's the issue? What's the C they had ordered it before? Simple enough, right? Well, they got told, well, it's because they have conservative on it. Now, technically, their tax structure, they can't actually even be a political group because they, that's not how they're tax structured.
Starting point is 01:21:02 They're not structured in that, in that way. So they called, someone from the group called Yeti to ask what prompted the cancellation. And they were also told verbatim that it was the phrase conservative women. It's on the, they said it's on the political side. So the mug could not be made. They don't want to avoid any, they want to avoid any kind of political affiliation because they're a bunch of pansies. And they said, well, their policy prevents customizing products aligned with political affiliations or organizations or content that could be considered obscene vulgar, profan, discriminatory, defamatory or hateful. They said that that earlier transaction, it should not have been made.
Starting point is 01:21:40 It was a mistake that it went through. So they can't say it because it says conservative. Yes, can't. How is that hateful? How is that defamatory? Did they explain that the word conservative somehow violates their policy that they just outlined? No, they didn't explain it. The last time they did this, Yeti, kind of, Yeti betrayed gun owners.
Starting point is 01:22:03 I haven't used Yeti in a long time. I won't put my liquids in a Yeti. They made gun owners mad. This was like 2018. This was like right after Parkland and it was just so stupid that they did it. So Yeti got very, they got political by trying to not be political. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:22:26 You make drinkwear. Are they worried that they're going to get targeted by people who don't buy their products anyway? And why can't you put a little tiny disclaimer? Like if you're printing anything on there, you put a little tiny disclaimer on there. This is so stupid. This has nothing to do with you, everybody knows that if you order a product like that and you have a customized like a bulk order, that company is not sponsoring you. They're not endorsing your viewpoints.
Starting point is 01:22:52 You know, if you purchase a pair of Nike sneakers, that's not Nike endorsing your viewpoint. You're purchasing a product. That's what these people are doing. But the fascistic left doesn't even want you to be able to have that option. So they try to fabricate the stupid claim that, well, if they're working with you, they're validating your existence by working with you. It's just a, I just don't like Yetty. I get, I just, it's infuriating that a company would react this way.
Starting point is 01:23:23 And they're, because that sounds like it's discriminatory against conservative women. And again, I, I. go back to the people who don't would not are not going to purchase these products anyway they're worried about being targeted by those people uh i i mean good heavens if this is a conservative women's organization that's it that's it just a conservative women's organization so why are they trying to bud light themselves again i remember they we had a uh like we have like these community fairs and stuff in our town square and all this stuff in the town where i live in and after Yeti did that with firearm owners, this was back in 2018,
Starting point is 01:24:06 my husband and I were walking around our town square. It was their art fair or whatever. We just, you know, you walk around and you look at stuff, you enjoy the sunshine. It's nice. Talk to people. And we walked by a Yeti had a tent there. And they haven't had a tent after this, but they had a tent there, Yeti. This is a little, you know, tent at the fair with all the other booth vendors.
Starting point is 01:24:28 And they were walking up to people and, asking if they wanted a Yeti sticker, if they were interested in looking at the Yeti products, and they came up to us. We were like, no, thank you. No, thank you. And I don't even remember exactly what I said, but they said, oh, they're like, you know, do you know the Yeti? Do you not like them?
Starting point is 01:24:47 I'm like, are you seriously going to press this with me right now in the middle of the town square? They had no idea who I was. And I, you know, I wasn't trying to be that way at all. But at first, I mean, and he was being a persistent sales guy, I guess, but he just wouldn't leave it alone. And, you know, I'm trying to be the nice person. My husband's like, yeah, you know why? Because you guys screwed over gun owners.
Starting point is 01:25:08 So, no, we are not interested in looking at your stuff. We're not interested. And I'm trying to be like, no, thanks. And just leave me the hell alone, right? Chris was like, no, we're not interested in it because you're a bunch of, he didn't go that far. But he's like, no, you guys screwed over gun owners. Why in the hell would we ever be interested in looking at these products?
Starting point is 01:25:24 No. He's like, get out of my way. Which I also thought was nice. It wasn't that guy's problem. He didn't set the company policy, but I do think that you've got to be aware of that kind of stuff, especially when you're in one of the most conservative towns in America. It was just funny. But there are other companies that exist out there besides Yeti. There's one base in Texas called Bison Coolers.
Starting point is 01:25:49 It's just, it's like they're like Yeti, but with all the nonsense. So hopefully they're going to another one of these companies to get their order filled because this is stupid. I don't know why you would, you know, I love. what Michael Jordan said when people were asking him to get political and he's trying to sell sneakers and he's like Republicans wear sneakers too. That's exactly right. That's the attitude to have. This idea that, well, I have my political beliefs and everything including my tinnishew and my orange juice and my shaving cream and my paper clips, I didn't even use those anymore. Everything has to affirm. That is the obsession with the left. Everything that they do is got
Starting point is 01:26:30 to be affirmed by something. Have you noticed this? It's got to be affirmed by a product. It's got to be affirmed by other people against your will. Everything has to validate their choices. Are you so insecure that you have to have your, you know, butter affirm you or your mouthwash? Have you seen like the rainbow mouthwash? Are we past the Gay Pride Month where it's all marketing, gay, everything? Oh, no. Did I speak to you soon? Oh, no. June. For some reason I'm thinking. No, really. Why did I ask? Where it's like, I can't even use this mouthwash unless it affirms the way I like to get it on. I can't use this. I mean, it's just so stupid. Yeah, it's confirmed. June is widely recognized. Why is it a whole month? It's Pride Month. I mean, Memorial Day. Veterans. You know, people killed in action. They get a day. Maybe a weekend. You get a whole month because you choose to, how you choose to have sex.
Starting point is 01:27:30 that's so stupid. Well, I don't like cilantro. I love cilantro, but there are people out there who are like, I think cilantro tastes like soap. I need a whole month of recognition for me. It's the same thing. It's just so goofy. Why?
Starting point is 01:27:44 We have more on the way. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Check out this crazy story. This is insane. Have you ever had your kids say there's a monster under the bed? I'm kind of all. The babysitter in Kansas per CBS.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Found a troubling surprise after a child she was watching complained that there was a monster hiding under the bed. So the babysitter, you know, in an attempt to show the children that there was no monster under the bed, lifted up the bed covering and came face to face with a dude who was hiding under the bed. According to the sheriff's office, the deputies arrived at the home just outside of the city of Great Bend 10.30 p.m. on a Monday. deputies arrived, babysitter said the man was discovered there was an altercation, the babysitter and the child were knocked over during the scuffle and the suspect fled. They did catch up to him the next day. Martin Villabos, 27, was arrested and booked into the Barton County Jail on multiple charges,
Starting point is 01:28:45 including aggravated kidnapping and child endangerment. He's being held on half a million dollars bond. There was a current protection order already issued against him. He once lived on the property. He was ordered previously to stay away from the property. now he's in big time trouble. That's just crazy. Super creepy. Good night. Just, oh my word. I'm glad everybody's okay.
Starting point is 01:29:09 But yeah, I'm going to check on my bed now. Also, this United Airlines flight had to divert because a pilot forgot the password.

Starting point is 01:29:40 easy to digest episodes. Ideal for your busy lifestyle on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. Why won't you apologize? I put out seven. They did not. So read my testimony. I did not. I did.
Starting point is 01:29:53 I'm done. You don't feel bad about making. I'm done. I'm done. So she's not wanting to apologize. That was Jasmine Crockett, who doesn't want to apologize for, I guess, calling Texas Governor Greg Abbott hot wheels.
Starting point is 01:30:17 Although, if I'm being honest, I probably would make myself a trading card and put myself with a matchbox logo. At this point, just weaponize it. weaponize the hate. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Nash with you. We're at the bottom of this third hour. It's a weird news week. Congress is out of session right now, or they're not doing anything of importance. They're in their home districts right now. I, you know, I'm going to say. I don't know. It's just, I think that she needs to talk as much as possible. I like her as
Starting point is 01:30:50 the avatar of the Democrat Party. I want more Jasmine. I want more Jasmine. Crocket. I want more meanness. They actually, I read another new piece today where the base is apparently begging their party leadership to get meaner. And every, they feel like they're justified in asking for this because every single time, every day, you know, we've got, I either like this, I have, you know, like the headline that has to do with potis and, and, and, and, you know, and, you know, And either with the tariffs, the auto tariffs, or the recommended cuts or this executive order, or like this one, now it came out that the HHS secretary is going to, he's planning for a 10,000 number, 10,000 job cuts in a major restructuring of the health department. Now this is, oh, now they're like they hate FEMA, they hate all this. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, check out this New York Times headline.
Starting point is 01:31:58 This published 15 minutes ago. Musk targeted FEMA, disaster-stricken communities are paying a price. I am not even kidding you. This is the headline. It literally just published. This is the headline. Read that headline, Kane. Musk targeted FEMA, disaster-stricken communities are paying the price.
Starting point is 01:32:23 That's the headline. Just now. and already it has, oh my gosh, they're going to amplify this to the nth degree. Remind me, who was in the White House when the hurricanes rolled in? It's definitely Biden. Yeah? Yep. And all that.
Starting point is 01:32:46 Musk wasn't in charge. There wasn't a doge. Nope. Where are they getting this headline from? So they're saying that Musk now running Doge and handling all of this is the
Starting point is 01:33:03 he somehow was able he's so powerful that he went back in time and that's why FEMA messed up all the hurricane stuff is because now Musk is at Doge and making recommendations
Starting point is 01:33:18 and he's so powerful again it reverberated back in time that's what they're arguing Kane so the bigger story here is time travel. That's what I'm hearing. That's the bigger story is time travel. I can't, this is actually a headline. It just published. It's an ongoing. It's like they're a forever updating piece. So they think that because, you know, he's cost cutting and they're
Starting point is 01:33:51 mad because FEMA is next. They said it's retribution. The way the New York Times puts it, And I'm reading this just now because it just hit. The way the New York Times puts it is that because FEMA provided $59 million to house illegal immigrants in New York City, $59 million to house illegal immigrants in New York City, $59 million to hire illegal immigrants in New York City. And I know combat veterans who have to fight the VA just to get the coverage that they deserve. because now they're auditing FEMA, it is being viewed as they hate hurricane victims. Do they hate hurricane victims more or less than the FEMA agency itself that was telling people, oh, here's your $700, but you've got to pay it back? Or they stopped like volunteer choppers from bringing in supplies.
Starting point is 01:34:56 Or they just didn't help anybody at all. I'm curious. Kane, what you're about to explode. It's so rich. It's so rich, knowing that the last few disasters that we've experienced as a country, FEMA has grossly underperformed. Not only underperformed, but we even had those stories of recommendations from FEMA to be skipping houses that had Trump flags and things like that. Why are we even entertaining this entity who clearly has underperformed has only taken in a ton of money, us very little in return. I would argue that these disaster-stricken communities that the New York
Starting point is 01:35:36 Times is talking about, they have actually been targeted by FEMA in a negative way for quite a while. Oh, yeah. I think you're right. Can I read this paragraph to you? Get ready to vomit. Oh, man. So this comes after they're talking about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. And he's looking at all these, here's the paragraph, quote, The layoffs are a drastic reduction in personnel for the sprawling health department, which now employs about 82,000 people and touches the lives of every American through its oversight of medical care and food and drugs. You got touched. Wait, 82,000 people. 82,000 people.
Starting point is 01:36:27 That is bigger than the town in which I grew up by 80 times. Not kidding. What? The town I was born and raised for maybe up until seventh grade. Bigger than that town. Actually, it's bigger than the town I went to high school in. That's a city. That's a city.
Starting point is 01:36:53 82,000 people, and that's just HHS. Why do you have to have 82,000 people at that government agency? How many people does it take to do nothing? Dana, I'm really upset. I'm going to send out this email. I listen to your show. I work for FEMA. I'm going to get one of these.
Starting point is 01:37:12 I work for FEMA. How dare you criticize my government agency does so much for people. Really tell that to the people who were just awash in mudslides out in the Carolinas after Hurricane Helene. And there, you know who's been out there being the FEMA? The Amish. Do you see that the Amish built over like 100 bridges? bridges, rebuilding these bridges going out there. They put up all these temporary homes.
Starting point is 01:37:41 The Amish. The Amish rolled in like the goth superstars they are rolled in. And they just started like going to town, building everything. They had all the supplies, all the know-how. I mean, it's pretty amazing. That's the beauty of the local community coming through. This is the problem with FEMA. And someone made this point with the LA fires too,
Starting point is 01:38:03 is that these FEMA representatives are coming from all kinds of different parts of the country. They have no real clue as to what the locals actually need after these disasters. So it would be actually smarter to lean on the local community in that regard. And forget FEMA coming from a different state to try and help out. They'll have no clue. I read this one. They were saying that the, listen to those, FEMA kind of hat tipped them. Voluntary agency liaisons play a vital role.
Starting point is 01:38:33 response efforts for Hurricane Helene and Milton. And they even mentioned that there were tons of bridges that need to be rebuilt. They had, they talked about all of these, I mean, there's a ton of different
Starting point is 01:38:45 non-governmental, and they're not partnering with the government. They're just volunteer organizations. You had the Mennonites that came out. How amazing, it's like a movie. It is like a movie.
Starting point is 01:38:57 Like your bridges are destroyed. I was reading this paper out of Asheville, North Carolina. and this story, can I just show the story with you, it's amazing. They say that on October 2nd, Sherry Norton was using a small wooden plank to get to work. It was the only way out of her home and to U.S. Route 64 after Tropical Storm Helene. The bridge, little concrete superstructure that supported access to their home, installed after a previous flood, had fully collapsed into Reedy Patch Creek. a tributary that meets a broad river near Batcave and goes through chimney rock to Lake Lure.
Starting point is 01:39:37 And they had flooding, they had, you know, mudslides, all of it. And they were one of just many thousands of families that lost their primary access point after the storm. She said that, you know, we thought we built the bridge for the last time. Helene thought otherwise. And they, the article discusses the Nortons and many others that were not even able to get in and out of their homes or even get to work. or even get to town or anywhere else. So you had a collaboration. Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:40:09 It's a thing called bridging together. It was a collaboration between the Mennonite Disaster Service, the Lutheran Disaster Response, Carolinas, a bunch of Amish people, all of this. And they said that it was one of the first now of a ton of different permanent bridges installed by the organizations. It is, that's amazing.
Starting point is 01:40:28 All volunteers that were coming out and doing this. Cain notes, too, they had dozens of Amish men travel hundreds of miles to repair homes and build roads in the wake of Helene. I know a lot of people that actually went out there and have been doing that too. They've had just for him ministries based in Indiana. And they went out. They were repairing homes and infrastructure all the way from Kentucky to Pennsylvania, going to the Carolinas. It's amazing. And they do it fast.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Yeah, you're right. You see, like regular, like I, like myself, I, would, you know, like, you know, be helping out. I'm not allowed to use power tools for my safety and the safety of those around me. They're really fun, though. I love that. There's something about this is so great. I'm not allowed to use them after the unfortunate hanging picture disaster of 2017. You know those things go real easy through drywall, right? I'm like, this might be more easier than a hammer. It's not. Anyway, long story short, it's not about me.
Starting point is 01:41:38 So, you know, I would be in people's way in a certain amount of things. Like, there's some things I can do, and then there's some things I can do, and I'm not good at it. There's, you know, and probably in the time it would take me to nail two planks together, they would literally build a house. Like a fully furnished home. Then you have the Amishman throw it up there, and then you get the ladies come in, and they're doing the landscaping, and
Starting point is 01:42:00 putting the dishes in the, in the cab, in the cupboards, all this stuff. It's just amazing what they're doing. No government evolves. So back to my FEMA point. Where was FEMA? I didn't see no FEMA workers down there with the Amish, did you? No. I didn't see them.
Starting point is 01:42:15 Amish been over there building all kinds of bridges and with the men and I. I mean, I love that these people, they're stuck in the mud, and then out of the hills, come all these private citizens with all their tools and supplies. It's a movie. It's a movie. So yeah, I think absolutely. 82,000 people, and it was all the Amish and the Christians, all the Christians and the different sects and the Mennonites and ever.
Starting point is 01:42:40 I don't know. Everybody's coming out. I just feel like that's... I did see FEMA out there when they were stopping people. Oh, yeah, when they were... That's right, Kane. When they were hopefully stopping the resources, like drinking water from getting to the people that needed it. That's when I saw FEMA.
Starting point is 01:42:55 People were going to accuse us of being mean. And... And...

I'm trying to understand what you just sent this to me.
Starting point is 01:43:25 So this is the Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who apparently this just came out. He played this. It's only like 14 seconds. I was going to be today in Super Bowl. I'm sorry. I'm stealing it. That's all right. I just like, I totally messed you over yesterday.
Starting point is 01:43:38 You can't drop a gem like this on my lap and be like hands off, Dana. Go ahead. This is the Doug Ford of Canada. Not, but I can assure you one thing. We're going to make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the American people without inflicting pain on the Canadian population. It's a good bold strategy. their cotton. Yeah, bold move their cotton.
Starting point is 01:44:04 What in the... It sounds like they're... They don't sound friendly. I thought they were supposed to be nice. Like, A, and here's some maple syrup and look at our Canucks. You know, I don't know. Like what? That's a different Canada now. It is. It's a different Canada.
Starting point is 01:44:21 So they said now he's blanked around and they're saying that they're going to inflict as much. What does that mean, I guess, like, monetarily? What do we get from Canada? Energy. Besides, like, Justin Bieber and Alainus Morse. What do we get from Canada? Tim Hortons.
Starting point is 01:44:37 I love you Canadians. I like Pierre Pollyver, but don't mess. Brian Adams and Tim Hortons. What is Tim Hortons? I mean, I've heard of it, but I've never seen one. It's like the Canadian Dunkin' Donuts. Oh, p. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:44:51 Well, yeah, what have we gotten? Hockey. Don't mess. I mean, I love Canadians. And I, there are, well, the conservative ones. And I like the pure polyvere, but, you know. Well, we can use a different Canadian for stupidity today. Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:45:08 Before I, Rob. Go ahead and play cut 16 because this is what, and I'm going to get her name, but listen to what she says here. Listen. Our retaliation is going to be surgically targeted to create the maximum pressure on the White House to stop what the Wall Street Journal has described quite rightly as the. dumbest trade war in history. An example of a measure that I will put in place as prime minister is 100% tariffs on Tesla's. I think that should get some attention in the White House. I think so here's why it's stupid. We have reciprocal tariffs coming up April 2nd. That's Tuesday. So you're going to impose your own increase on your own cars. Yeah, great job. Great job on that.
Starting point is 01:45:54 Yeah, you're just going to she doesn't understand how all this works. She doesn't understand how all this It's like we're going to keep punishing you, but if you try to, you know, reciprocate in order to make things more fair, we're going to play victim. That's all I heard from her. Folks, that does it for us today. I'll be up on Fox coming up with Will Kane here shortly. Make sure you tune in.
