Thank you, Ambassador. Thank you. Please. What was the cause of the United States Civil War? Well, don't come with an easy question or anything. I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run. The freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. What do you think the cause of the Civil War was?

I'm sorry? I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president. I mean, I think it always comes down to the role of government. And what the right? of the people are. And we, I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people.

Uh-huh. Yeah, getting caught in the whole state's rights issue. It's the S word, Mrs. Ambassador. And, you know, she later on goes on to say, you know, this guy was a plant. And I'll share that here in a second. Hey, welcome to the Dana show. And as far as the week is concerned, second to last live program for the, The Dana Show for 2023.

Man, we can't pack this sucker up and put it away faster. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and you're listening to The Dana Show from what I refer to as her Southern Command here in Texas. South Texas, still on blessed soil. USA, USA. We're in Texas soil. Yeah, she's in North Texas. I'm South Texas. This is the Dana Show.

Yeah, Nikki Haley. Some would call it, I was thinking calling this an unforested area. It's more like a thumble. You know, they throw a softball, a wiffle ball at her, and swing and a miss, you know, drop the ball. It's, you know what they're looking for, ambassador, governor. They're looking for the assword. And what does slavery, unless you're talking about modern day slaves, the illegal immigrants, the sex slaves, you know, those thousands, of individuals that have been trafficked by the cartels and cartels making billions of dollars,

sending people into this country to work literally as well below minimum wage slave labor in food processing facilities or nightclubs or, you name it, some of these sex workers, they're forced to pay off the thousands of dollars that they paid the cartels of these trafficking networks, the cartels of Mexico. associates and the criminal, the gangs that are in Houston, Dallas, some major cities here on the border as well, all these U.S.-based gangs. And from Central America, MS-13 and all these other gangs, these thugs, they're all employees of the cartels that have billions upon billions of dollars in their pockets, thanks to the U.S. policy that is allowing anyone, everyone who costs across the border illegally and stay, gain the the asylum system. They pose as asylum seekers, and that's what they're being called these days. But what does slavery have anything to do?

You know, when a question, this is so frustrating. They're going after her because, you know, the woke left, and somebody's wanting to get a sound bite and easy sound like somebody got it. She trips up way too easy. My goodness, does she not think these things through? I mean, it's obvious you can see it coming a mile away. If they're asking a question about slavery, yes, someone would call it the original American sin. It's not unique.

It's not exclusive to America. There's slavery today. There's slavery way before that. For thousands of years, it's a human failing, a human sin. It's not exclusive to ships coming from Africa, filled by Africans, by the way. It's a coming to the Caribbean, coming to the East Coast. to come through Louisiana. It's not exclusive to America.

But they're looking to tar and feather and soil the name of Nikki Haley. She fell for it. Man, if she can't hit a whiffball like this, oh, Ambassador White, what are you doing running for the presidency? Like, question like that pops up. You know you have to push back. Like, take that clown to task. Call him a plant.

Say something, I don't know, like, yeah, the driving force for almost two generations before hundreds upon hundreds of American young men, boys died on the battlefield, America shedding its blood to pay for this sin of slavery that they wanted to get rid of. For almost two generations, the driving force behind this is some states would allow slavery. Some would. New states come in, which one gets it, which one gets it, what's a dozen. And in the end, yes, states rights. But in the end, the driving force behind this, of course, it's slavery. A huge driver for this. It's, my goodness.

Call them a plant. Say, yeah, the driving force of slavery. And by the way, you know, I'd like to welcome this Democrat or woke plant to the audience. I look forward to represent you as well for the sake we're taking your liberty. Oh, and by the way, if you want to know about slavery that still exists today, this administration, the Biden administration, allows it to fester and multiply exponentially because the cartels are bringing in modern days slaves. people working well below minimum wage

and some of these food assembly lines, food processors, whatever it is that they're forced to do, yeah, we have slavery today. And as president, I'm going to work to root this out and crack down on this crime and cry down on crime, something like that, but oh no, the long, pregnant pause. Oh, here it comes. They want to tie me to Dixie.

They want to tie me to the South. They want to expose my, just, push back immediately. My goodness. She did comment on this guy being a plant. Which one is it? Steve. It's, yeah, it was cut six. Nicky Haley responding to that question later. No, it was definitely a Democrat plant. That's why I said, what does it mean to you? And if you notice, he didn't answer anything. The same reason he didn't tell the reporters what his name was. The same reason he went and showed the guy that he was with, the tweet that, that was.

went up after he did it. We see these guys when they come in. We know what they're doing, and we know from the second. Call him out. Call him out, governor. He did say something. I'm not the one, I'm not the one running for president that he said. This clown. Call him out on it. Say the darn word that he's looking for, which is obvious. It's the driving force for almost two generations. Talk about modern day slavery. You can't, you don't have the political improvisation. skills enough to handle something like this? Man, cut five, I don't know when she said this. Steve has new audio on her tripling down on what she originally said, but first it was,

I guess, cut five before she said that, the final audio I'm going to. Go ahead. World War was about slavery. We know that. That's the easy part of it. What I was saying was, what does it mean to us today? What it means to us today is about freedom. That's what that was all about.

It was about individual freedom. It was about economic freedom. It was about individual rights. Our goal is to make sure, no, we never go back to the stain of slavery, but what's the lesson in all of that? The lesson in all this, in my opinion, is that she doesn't have the political skills to fight properly and win. I mean, this is a whiffle ball. Not a softball. It's a wiffle ball.

Oh, and recently, I don't know, like about an hour ago, Nikki Haley said this. Go ahead, Steve. asked about the Civil War. And what I think of the Civil War, what was the cause of the Civil War? Of course the Civil War was about slavery. We know that. That's unquestioned, always the case. We know the Civil War was about slavery.

But it was also more than that. It was about the freedoms of every individual. It's a one-word answer. And then a short sentence afterwards. It's really easy. I'm not running for president. I only did the whole chairman thing, volunteer for two-term here in South Texas,

and thanks to many wonderful volunteers and precinct chairs. Among them, one who passed away, he's already with the Lord. I found out yesterday. Jim Barnes. God bless you, Jim Barnes. All these hard-working volunteers open up a permanent,

Lord willing, a permanent competition here in South Texas. Republican HQ. That was back in 20,000. It's still open today. They're still fighting. Things are changing. And Democrat, deep blue Democrat, South Texas. And I know for many all in the audience, the answer came real easy. One word, throw it back. Talk about modern-based slavery. But she doesn't have that information already in her head, rolling in her head. Some reaction to this. Let me see. The press secretary for governor, Ron DeSantis went online on Twitter.

Mr. Griffin. Let's see. Status report. Donald Trump complaining about his treatment in the movie Home Alone, too. I was sure Donald Trump said a lot more than that. Nikki Haley stepped in a giant mess of own making. Ron DeSantis dismantling the far-left Miami-Dade School Union. Take your pick among,

amongst these three. And speaking of picking, here's this little interesting audio cut. Thank you, Steve, for this one. FYI just sidebar and mention. I don't know if former President Trump would still consider the former governor and ambassador, Nikki Haley, being on his ticket. But this is a cut from, I guess, several hours back. I know very well.

I actually got along with it very well. As you know, she left at a nice ceremony at the White House, you know, the Oval Office. It was very nice. She said terrific things about me. She said he's a great president. And then she decided out of nowhere to run. So I was a little bit surprised at that, but that's a politician. No, I'm not considering anybody at this time, Jen.

Yeah. But by the way, Mr. President, she did say she'd never run if you were running. I do remember that. And it's part of the audio and video collection that's out there. So I'd never run if he's running. And then I'm announcing my candidacy for president, blah, blah. Man, this woman, she's all over the place. Donald Trump's still not ruling out Nikki Haley as Veep.

I don't know if today's audio helps. The lack of quick thinking on your feet, able to improvise, talk about the issues. Call the clowns out that you know are going to be in the crowd. You open up a microphone to allow a clown to speak. Call them out. Just, my goodness. Can't do that. How's she going to fight?

when it comes to real issues for the nation. Sitting around the table with cabinet officials having to provide answers and somebody pushes back and how's she going to push back? Does she need Krispy Kreme? Chris did come to her defense every time? Man. Oh, my goodness. That's a crazy world of politics. Oh, by the way, as far as vice presidential pick, this is for a former presidential pick. This is for former President Trump And all of his minions

Some employees maybe tuning into the Dana show Can I put I like to put in my two cents Could you please consider Dr. Ben Carson? I don't just consider Dr. Ben Carson He's a brain surgeon You know He came from just awful poverty

In American poverty His mom forced him to read books instead of watching television all the time. Yours truly, and millions of other, you know, we could tell you all the episodes were Gillian's Island, Scooby-Doo. You know, we watched reruns over it gets. This dude, his mom was forcing him to bring library books over, and he was getting more library books.

He became a brain surgeon. Dr. Ben Carson. He's an all-American inspirational story, not only for blacks, not only for inner-city blacks, but for all Americans. All Americans, including all the little cute little baby white kids in Appalachia, living in trailers, living in dire poverty. They never get mentioned. They have access to the American dream.

They have access so long somebody, the adults in their lives, do what is right. And now whether they're white kids in Appalachia, blacks in the inner city, Latinos in the inner city are on the border. border American citizens, please let's focus on that. As long as the adults in their life do the right thing, do right, make sure that these kids get the proper education that is not free. It's paid for tax, it's paid by taxpayers. And I know the union screw everything up by not allowing any change in competition and education. That's a whole other subject. But the books, the math books, the English books, the science book, they're all the same at all schools. Our babies, all American babies, from Appalachia, white kids, a little snobes. A little snobacco.

knows white kids, the inner-city kids, dirty diapers, and Latino kids. It's so sad I have to talk about our babies this way. It shouldn't be that way. The adults in their lives need to force these children to concentrate, read them books, learn, wrote learning, repeat learning, but learn critical thinking on the way to eventually getting high school, college, master's, doctoral degree, just like Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Ben Carson, Mr. Mr. President, All-America story, great success story, just suggesting. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to The Dana Show, reporting to you live from South Texas.

It's an honor to be with you again, helping to close out 2023. Man, we need to put this puppy away. Close out as quickly as possible. Not a year to remember. So many awful things. As a standard procedure for this administration. I'm so glad you could join us today. You want to say hi online.

It's at Sergio Talk on X, you know, the Twitter thing. From our neighbor, Elon Musk, here in Brousel. SpaceX. I always love saying that. I still pinch myself, I can't believe it. I'm saying that here in Deep South Texas. We got space X. That's cool. Okay, so say hi online at Sergio Talk. Lord willing, Dana should be back with us.

Swinging for the fences early next week for 2024. Hey, stick around. I've got a conversation I'm going to share with you. In case you missed it, and I don't blame you if you did. Even, you know, yours truly and a whole bunch of other folks who kind of need to stay plugged in, see what's going on in the world. Just make sure the world isn't blowing up so that we, you know, because if it is, we have to run back to the radio station, fire up the radio station, start talking about, you know, do the play-by-play as the world's coming to an end.

You know, do the news bit. Man, it's Christmas this past week. I just, I unplugged, I turned off the phone. I left the charging on the other room. I don't care, man. I just don't care. If we're about to get hit by a meteor, I don't want to know, man. I'm not going to do the play-by-play.

So I say this because, you know, Christmas weekend, we all implied. There was a lot of belligerents. Some individuals, and, you know, it's the usual crowd these days. You know, the pro-terrorism, pro-terrorist group, Hamas, and the nation that never was, you know, Palestine, Palestinians. You know, these anti-Semites, all these Jew haters, taken to the streets. And this time they were going after Christmas.

And, you know, whether it was in front of, you know, protest outside and of a cathedral during Christmas Mass or interrupted people's travel at the airport, make sure they didn't make to the airport. They just wanted to cancel Christmas. All these radical crazy Muslims and these pro-terrorist group Hamas supporters out there in New York, there was a lot of unrest this past weekend. A lot of New York cops got hurt as a result of these guys going violent, you know, swinging at the cops, pushing these cops, hurting these cops, throwing, I don't know, projectiles, rocks or something.

So Joe Cardin Allie, my friend from New York, longtime friend. I always love speaking with him. And he'll give me a quick report on what took place this past Christmas weekend. Up in New York, and folks at New York, they only have themselves to blame. Because they voted in noodle spine, soft on crime prosecutor's office. They voted in all these ridiculous, woke, leftist Democrat politicians. You have yourself to blame up northeast. All you crazy Democrats.

running the top 10, probably top 20 American cities. You guys who voted them in is your fault. Anyway, that conversation is coming out. Latest on Team Biden in Mexico. Man, I am envy Team Biden. I think they get some really good food. Mexico City has some of the best restaurants on the planet. So some of the best cuisine.

And I'm sure they got that at the presidential palace with a quasi-communist, Amlo, Andres Manas. Manuel Lopez, Obrador Amlo. So, Team Biden, it was Tony Blinken and Alex Mayorkas. He's doing the Menorcas, bare minimum. Always doing the bare minimum when it comes to any border security. Tony Blankin, Alex Mallorca is talking with, you know, Mexican top brass. And even Amlo, the president of Mexico.

Now, we still need to get some details. Everybody's celebrating this meeting. Like I was saying, yes, it's just a kabuki dance, pretending they're doing something about this human tsunami we see at the border. I know that they didn't travel to the border. They didn't see the border at Arizona, you know, south of Phoenix. They definitely didn't go to El Paso, didn't go to Igo Pass. Definitely didn't come down to visit my friends' Border Patrol here in the Archievia, Texas.

Laredo? And then went to Mexico State to talk it up. So still no disclosure on how may he come. is going to help out the Biden White House on this because he basically told Blinken and Mallorcas go down and do some, tell them to do something about this mess. But of course, Biden created it. I wonder if anybody said that,

oh, by the way, you created this mess. How about you reverse whatever it is you did at the beginning? Maybe that might help. I can tell you, though, some reports are saying that pretty much Blinken and Mallorca's went down to tell Amlo, hey, you need to crack down in your cartels. Crank down on the cartels. News flash, boys.

The cartels are the government of Mexico. By default, they are the de facto government of Mexico. Your weak court system, no prosecutors in their right mind, or at least the ones who enjoy being alive, not wanting to assume room temperature. No prosecutors going after the cartels. Police, all corrupt, military, huge chunk of corrupt. State police, same thing.

The cartels run the roads, run the streets. They run everything. From the city halls to the state government to Lord knows how many people in Mexico City and their legislature influence. So the cartels, they're the ones with the deep pockets. They're the ones influencing the elections. Cracked down on the cartels. Sure.

Oh, and by the way, I can't tell Amlo did tell these boys, hey, this is a U.S. problem. In other words, this is your problem. So after knowing those two things, what possibly could have Tony Blinken and Alex Majorcas have resolved or inspired or forced the Mexican government to do in order to help the situation? In the meantime, that massive caravan, thousands upon thousands of people in vehicles, had a north and Central America that crossing to southern Mexico, it's continuing to travel north. And they'll be dispersed. That population will be dispersed among many. cities here at the border. How about the issue

of fentanyl, by the way, did that get addressed? Early reports say, no. Don't expect the fentanyl issue to come out. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to the Dana show from South Texas. We'll talk more about the border. Next hour of the program, I'm going to share with your conversation with Arts del Quento, another top leader, with the Border

Patrol Union, saying it the way it is. Meantime, again, we were all disconnected from the news during Christmas weekend. And it got violent up in New York. Some cops got hurt. Some Muslims wanting to cancel Christmas. Go ahead, Steve. We were all with family during Christmas, Christmas weekend.

And some of us disconnected, unplug from the news. But there's news out of New York that you should know. So I'm going to bring in Joe Cardinali. He's a retired New York police, Lieutenant Commander, and I consider him a dear friend. I hope to someday meet you in person, Joe. We've been talking for years now. But I see this news out of New York this past weekend for Christmas.

And I know a lot of your friends and colleagues, they got beat up by some protesters, malcontents, Islamic crazies demanding Christmas be canceled. Tell us what happened this past weekend up in New York. It was just a typical craziness up here, Sergio. It just boggles my mind that they allow this to happen in the first place, that they are allowed to go by St. Patrick's Cathedral and disrupt mass. They're allowed to go to areas like now yesterday, Kennedy Airport, and stop passengers from trying to board the planes by, you know, by the terminals. And this is allowed.

And yesterday, some of them were arrested, which was nice. I'm glad the Port Authority police, you know, had their game on. But to allow this, let me, with Mayor Adams and the police commission, instead of making this, you know, frozen zones. In other words, you want to protest, that's fine, but you're not going to do it and disrupt mass, all right, because this is what it's come to. They're allowed to do anything. So we have to get back, and I think they should make it frozen zones and say you cannot come to this area. It's a house of worship. It's a sensitive location because we try doing that by a mosque or anything else. We would be held accountable for it, and yet it's a one-sided game for

them. And the officers are getting injured because they're allowing. them to form in these large groups, and the offices, you know, sustaining, you know, one of them got hit in the head with an object. I think it might have been a rock. And it's just ridiculous that they allowed this to happen in the first place. And more is coming, according to Eric Adams. He's expecting more. He was in the news just a couple days back saying he's expecting more of this belligerence

and violence as we go into the New Year, New Year celebrations around New York. It almost sounds to me like he was throwing his hands up in defeat. okay, Morris Kamen, just be ready for it. That's exactly what he's doing. You know, 1,000 with Y2K, we had Y2K back then. So I worked time square that, you know, that week. And I'm telling you that it was a frozen zone. You only had certain ways in and certain ways out.

You were told to move. You didn't move. I had the incident myself. I had a group of protesters on the corner, young college kids, and I said to them, come on, I pleaded with them. I said, come on. You know, it's New Year's. You're going to spend the nice.

in jail. You're going to spend a few days in jail if you don't move this area. You cannot, you know, congregate here. You have to move. And they refused to do it. They were bludgering about it. They just said, no, no, no, no, screw you. We're going to do this. I said, okay, no problem. Called in four mounted units. They came down and backed the horses right into the crowd. And one of them wound up in the hospital of a broken foot. And then after that, I said, not only you're going to spend the night in jail, you're going to be, you know, in the hospital, you're going to be in jail after this, refusing to leave. Because back then you had the DAs that did the job they had to do.

The cops were allowed to do their job. We did what had to be done because we enforced the law. And that's the problem in this country. All right. They pick and choose when you're allowed to enforce the law. We are no longer a proactive police department. We are a reactive police department. And that's not the way it should be.

What does this do, this soft on crime? mindset by the prosecutors, the DAs that citizens have stupidly voted in that are not prosecuting crimes, these lawmakers that are changing laws and deciding to increase thresholds on certain crimes so that some individuals are not prosecuted. What does all this do to retainment and recruitment over at New York PD? No, mind retaining surgery. Those days are gone. Everybody's flying out the door. I mean, anybody that's eligible for retirement is not putting their pension, you know, their livelihood on line anymore. They're retiring. You have early retirements. You have people that outright leaving the job and going to better communities down in Florida or wherever it is

where the police are appreciated. We are going to be down to a staggering number that I can't fathom this. We're going to be down to about 27,000 from 36,000 when I was on. Wow. And that's that it's it's unheard of because this city you need those numbers to to enforce the law here to keep things, you know, quiet. And now we have the migrants that are coming in, the illegal migrants that are coming in and wreaking habit on the economy in the city. And Adams just keeps his answer to this is to cut back, the police department, the fire department, sanitation, all the essential services, even education, cutting back on everything just to

take care of the situation. He blames it on Washington. Well, you declared yourself, you know, safe haven for them. So, you know, you brought this on yourself, you and the rest of the Democratic Party, who refuses to stop this surge is bleeding at the border. You know, this is ridiculous. You know, and I told them a while back, you and I spoke about this. I said, this is what Texas goes through every single day.

You're only getting a dose of what they go through, all right, in small doses you're getting it. So stop complaining. Put your big boy pants on and stop complaining. You got hemorrhaging of the population, people with my people with, money, people with businesses, they're leaving New York, and you're replacing with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants gaming the asylum system that are being fed, housed, they're providing education, medical, up in New York. I don't know if any of these folks are transitioning into some of the low-wage jobs in the area. Last I heard, not too many of them who are

more than six months and there waiting in the asylum system could be working. They're not working, and then with a police force that's down at least 25%, he said from 36,000 when you were working down to about 27,000, and still shrinking. That's not a very good trend for public safety near future. No, absolutely not. And here's the other thing with the illegal migrants, right? What they're doing is they set them up at a place called Floyd Benefield. There used to be an Air Force base over there. You know, now it's our aviation unit and the Coast Guard is over there. and they're housing them over there in the tents and everything and they're getting cell phones, they're getting everything else, so what do they do? They just get on the, you know, their little

walking sprees or they hit your ride and they go and take a bus because that's, that's free for them to the public transportation. And they go to a place like Kingsblazer and they're begging for money and they're, you know, actually accosting people saying, listen, we want this, we want because they have that sense of entitlement already that, you know, they think they can go and approach anybody and the people in the neighborhood are like, whoa, you know, say, hey, this is the man you voted in. This is the man who declared us a sanctuary city. And come on, give me a break.

You know, it's enough is enough. When do you stop the hemorrhaging that you just mentioned? When it really hurts, I think New York needs to go through a lot more pain. Chicago, Philly, D.C., they need to go through a lot more pain and eventually bring in those prosecutors that will be tough on crime. and city hall leadership at all those big cities that will be tough on crime and decide to protect their citizens. We saw it once.

There was a New York from the 70s that transformed into the New York of the 80s. We had Rudy Giuliani back then. But it's going to take a while for that political culture to change if voters want to change it. Because now I hear that some folks that are not citizens are going to be allowed to vote up there pretty soon. That's what they want. That's what they want.

They want. This translates to the biggest thing for the Democrats. It translates to votes. All right, and people are too blind to see it, and you're right, Sergio, it will not change until it hits home for some of them. Yeah. All right, when crime hits home for some of these politicians and somebody, God forbid, in their family, or somebody they know a relative of a friend is accosted and maimed or, you know, robbed or even sexually assaulted, that's when it's going to make a difference for them. But until them, it's status quo. Or you never know, maybe a multi-billion-earble don a bat suit and be a vigilante and protect citizens overnight in Gotham City.

That's what we're headed right now. I don't think with everything going on, the light will reach up in the sky. You know, I think we're going to have a problem with that. I think we're ready for a red dawn scenario in this country. I really do. Lord help us. Safer and happy, 2024, Joe. As always, it's a pleasure.

You be safe, my friend. You two, my friend, to you and the family, and you listen to us. Retired New York Police Department, Lieutenant Commander, Joe Cardinali. By the way, the original Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze. That's the winner. I know they did a remake a few years back, but the original, the best one, that's with Patrick Swayze. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to the Dana show from her Southern Command in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. You're in tune to the Dana Show from South Texas. Blessed Soil USA. And of course, a double blessing is Texas. I'm Sergio Sanchez. It's an honor to be with you today. And closing out 2023,

but willing Dana should be with us for live programming sometime next week. Got lots of news to share with you, including an update on status report from the border, Art del Quinto. He's another national leader for the Border Patrol Union. And as I've told you before, normally I don't celebrate unions like worker unions. But I got to say like in almost 30 years of broadcasting here on the border, the Border Patrol, thanks to their union and management too, by the way.

But mostly it's the union. They tell you how it is. And they, man, they use that shield, that union shield really, that powerfully use it to protect themselves and tell you the status. So arts, joining us next hour of the Danish show. So stick around for that. By the way, status report on those Apple smart watches, you know the ones that Biden decided not to step in and say,

no, well, you know, there's an infringement, copyright infringement on oxygen readings and blood oxygen sensors and all those things and decided not to, you know, honor the campaign contribution. Well, there was a quartz rule. late yesterday, an appeals court temporarily blocked the enforcement of the International Trade Commission order, barring those Apple smart watches. From South Texas, I'm Sergio Sanchez.

This is the Dana Show. The technical support that we received from the federal government, we appreciate that. Work authorization to put people on a pathway to sustainability. I certainly appreciate that. And without real significant investment from our federal government, it won't just be the city of Chicago. that won't be able to maintain this mission. It's the entire country that is now at stake. But in no way what the state of Texas is doing is helping the cause.

Chicago mayor. Let's go, Brandon Johnson, in the news. You know, there was another bit of news attributed to him, which I just found just jaw-droving amazing. He said that the entire country is at the state. stay. If Congress doesn't pass a pathway to citizenship, like who in their right mind proposes something like this unless they're absolutely bonkers crazy, not jobs, which is pretty much a description of the entire modern representation in the Democrat Party these days.

Welcome to Hour 2 of The Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and for my friend Dana Lash, and I'm reporting to you from Texas. The opposite side of Texas, tip of Texas here where the rockets are flying into space are pretty soon at SpaceX, yeah, RGV of Texas. It's an honor to be with you today. You want to say hi online.

It's at Sergio Talk on the Twitters, on the X thing. We got lots of, not lots. We used to have lots of politicians, many politicians, Democrats, pretty much all. And some Republicans, I remember the GW years. They were, I told you yesterday, if you tuned in, and if you didn't, go check out the podcast, the condensed version of the Dana Show. There's two sets of individuals in the immigration world that have been ignored.

Number one, the people trying to get into the country legally. Well, actually, there's three sets because at the time I was talking about one key set, which is, you know, the folks who are being politically or for religious reasons, they're being prosecuted. The other set, folks who are trying to come into the country legally, you know, they paid their attorney's fees. they pay the State Department fees. They're waiting in line, patiently, checking the mailbox, waiting for a text message when they can enter the country legally for work reasons because of marriage or family reasons, whatever. Those folks completely ignore now that we have millions upon millions and millions of people

that are gaming the asylum courts, gaming the asylum system in this country. The other group was the so-called dreamers. Remember those dreamers? the folks who are now adults, they need a work permit, you know, to work legally. They do have one. Compliments of Barack Hussein Obama.

Oh, Barry gave them the whole dreamer label and gave them a chance under DACA, the deferred action, you know, whatever you call that, DACA thing. He tried the DAPA thing for the parents, right? That failed in court. But the DACA thing has still has not been shot down. Because of the sympathy, of most and and I I'm there with you to a large extent you know there were kids

there were babies the parents crossed the border illegally they grew up they thought they were American and then they grow up like where's my Social Security number that's a fake Social Security number like I like to get a job I don't even speak the language of my parents and I don't want to be kicked out of the country and we we sympathize empathize I I know some beautiful people, real wonderful people, God-fearing people, hardworking, highly educated individuals, licensed professionals. And like in big trades, like major, like engineering accounting types, you know, yeah, they're part of that DACA group. But any effort to provide some solution, all that was flushed away by you.

Joe Biden and his just amazing and competence. As I might say that he's doing all this on purpose to destroy a country. Well, I'm willing to listen to you. I'm not willing to listen to people that say 9-11 was an inside job. I just want to laugh that away.

I'm not willing to listen to people say that moon landings were fake. Really. But I'll listen to some of you all. Every now that burp and say, Joe Biden's doing this on purpose to destroy our country. What else? What's the motivation behind this other than that.

That's the end result. It's crazy. The dreamers have been forgotten in this argument. And now, compliments, compliments of Greg Abbott, our governor here in tech. God bless you, Greg.

You and Missessie, big hug and a kiss to you. Thank you for what you're doing. Keep fighting, brother. I know you get a lot of flack and a lot of criticism. But thank you, Governor. You've been sending all charter buses year and a half two years now, some of these sending these flights full of illegals up there. You got, I believe, New York, it was Eric Adams up in New York pushing back in the news again saying that he wants these charter buses, these bus companies, his charter buses to give like 36 hours notice before they arrive in New York so that, you

know, they can be prepared to absorb these people that cross the border illegally and now are seeking refuge up in New York because they hear good things about New York there. They provide them like some shelter as quickly as possible, get them some cell phones, get them into the community. Yeah, you miss that conversation with Joe Cardinali on the situation up in New York. Yeah, check the previous hour. Just do the rewind, rewind to the previous audio on this podcast. Or this, you know, if you can do the rewind on this audio. Yeah, it's, it's awful in New York.

It's getting worse. And these people, fleecing, harassing folks, just regular tourists up in New York for money. Instead of going out and get jobs, some of these folks that have been in the country, legally, quote-unquote, air quotes, legally because of the asylum thing, because they're in line for an asylum hearing many years down the road. Yeah, six months after they stay here,

they could be working somewhere, washing dishes, doing something. There's lots of help wanted science up in New York, but they're not taking those gigs. They're shaking down tourists, shaking down residents up in New York in parks and areas that are highly trafficked by pedestrians, shaking them down for cash. And they're crazy?

And things are going to, they're just going to get worse. Thank you, Governor Greg Abbott, for helping us open the eyes of the country, this Biden border mess. The dinosaur media in this country, as bad as things are right now, and they've never been this bad. On a daily basis, we're setting records. On a weekly basis, same thing, quarterly, so on and so forth. Man, we are on track. You know, three quarters of a million people in the first three months of the fiscal year, three quarters of a million,

more than that, have crossed the border illegally have been processed and allowed to be in the country. What does that say about, we got three more quarters to go, man. Multiply 750K times four. Are you kidding me? If we keep up this pace and there's no reason to believe it's not going to keep going this way. Because in 2024, you know, the ones who are really paying attention to this because it benefits them, the cartels, benefits their business. And folks in the Americas and in China and the Middle East and Africa, anyone wishing, hoping

for a chance to cross the border legal or illegal, just for a chance to step on blessed soil, because they know that once they make it here, they're not going to be sent back. That's what they believe. Now, we are on track to go north of 3 million people, and that's just the ones processed by border patrol. Do the math on this. That's just nuts. And 750 times 2, 1.5 times 2, 3 million. And those are the ones that be processed by borderline.

I think those numbers are going to continue to go north because people know there's an election in 2024. They might see some of these little reports, even if they're watching and listening on the periphery, listening to the quasi-communist nutcases over at MSNBC, all these crazy leftist communist apologists at NBC, MSNBC, and some of these dinosaur media types. You're in the clueless news network. Every now and then a little bit of news, a little bit of factual information will make it on here. realize, hmm, seems like the American voters are not too happy about what's going on in their country. I don't know, maybe it's true. Look at that polling data on Donald Trump. Maybe it's true.

Well, we better get her butts across the U.S.-Mexican border, across the U.S.-Canadian border as quickly as possible. Yeah, do you know that? You will pretty soon. I got a conversation with Parts del Quetto from the Border Patrol Union coming up in just a little bit. The other coming at us as quickly as possible because they know it's open season, open door. they're going to take advantage that in 2024 like never before. That's why I'm expecting record numbers. Quarter after quarter, so on between now.

And I hope and pray. Oh, Lord Jesus, please hear our prayer. Please bring back saying, save our country, Lord, forgive us. Please forgive us. Save our country. And bring back Donald Trump and it's not Donald Trump, somebody who thinks like him. America was to protect our country, protect the borders, protect the economy, protect trade, and so on and so forth, manufacturing, everything else. We need to think about our country.

The obligations that we have to the folks who protect our country, our veterans, first of all, finally, can we finally take care of that obligation? Can we please? Make sure we don't have any homeless veterans. Before we start providing nice hotel rooms or tent camps or cell phones and medical services to illegal immigrants that are working the system right now under this incompetent. malicious, I'd say malicious administration, Joe Biden, and all is incompetent boobs that work for him.

Oh, my goodness, it's just beyond infuriating. People in the, people away from the border, your fellow Americans, Midwest, Northeast, everywhere, everywhere, they're having to go online to get the facts. We're having to go online to get the information because it's now affecting their neighborhoods. It's cut one, Steve, one of the most searched terms of the year. Cut one.

And a number of different polls I've looked at, immigration and border security is running a closer second place to the economy as we head in the 2024. And you might be thinking, Phil, okay, this is just Republican voters who are feeling this way. But I want you to take a look here because I think this is rather interesting. The most Google searches for migrants by state. Look at all these states, Phil. They're all blue states. Illinois is one.

New York is two. Massachusetts is three. New Jersey is four. Colorado is five. Yeah, he just named all deep blue areas, Phil. They're not getting Americans or neighbors or friends or fellow patriots in the interior. They're not getting the information that they need to know on a regular basis, top of the hour, bottom of the hour news, front page type of stuff if you still purchase it. If they still exist, the paper newspapers.

This is top of the hour, top of mind information we need to know. and Americans are slowly getting that information. They're going to search engines to find more on illegal immigration because they're not getting enough. They're not getting the truth from the news. Now, again, I congratulate you as a talk radio listeners, a news radio listener, listening to the Dana show. Dana gives it to you straight, gives you facts all the time,

along with other friends in this industry, the talk shows nationwide, constantly talking about this. But we need more than this. Because when you show up with all this information, to friends and co-workers, they might think you're a kook. Surely something this crazy, this disastrous, deleterious to the country, that's the word for the day. Surely, this can't be happening under Joe Biden.

He was supposed to bring back honor and decency and civility to the White House. The Dutas has been from day one has put everything in motion to destroy this country, and it all started at the open border. And they're starting to feel it now. Every now and you have to go digging for these headlines. Up in Chicago, people coming together for community meetings with some other city council people say, hey, why are you opening up a refuge or this building,

you're opening it up or converting it into an area for these refugees or all these men by 1,000 men, these migrants to set up camp in our neighborhood just down the street from our churches and schools. They're pushing back. they're pushing back mightily. These meetings are angry, raucous, super loud, and some of these

fellow Americans, blacks, Democrats, who voted all these stupid politicians into their cities and state houses that declare it sanctuary cities, sanctuary states, and deep blue Democrat states. He just mentioned all of them, just a moment back,

was talking to Phil. Colorado and Illinois and Massachusetts and New York, they're pushing back down. hey, our community resources, the few taxes that we paid in the inner city and the block grants that we got, the money they got at a city hall, hey, it's going to all these illegals. Now, Steve's going to play an audio cut for you. Now, I'll tell you who it is. Now, you tell me, is this a Democrat or is this a Republican? Go ahead, Steve.

These immigrants have come over here. they've been raping people, they've been breaking into homes. There weren't savages as well. They don't speak the language and they look at us like we were crazy. Play it again, Steve. Play it again. I love it. These immigrants have come over here. They've been raping people.

They've been breaking into homes. There weren't savages as well. They don't speak the language and they look at us like we were crazy. Wow. You know, if it wasn't so high-pitched, you probably would tell me, oh, that's Donald Trump. There's Donald Trump, racist. They're rapists.

They're savages. They don't speak the language. Ladies and gentlemen, that's the Illinois NAACP president, Teresa Haley. They're feeling the pinch, the budget pinch, the community pinch. They're feeling it now. So my question, as I was saying yesterday on the show, my question to you, Chicago, New York, Philly, Boston, L.A., All you folks in top cities, big cities, Democrat-run cities in America. You're going to continue voting stupidly, a.k.a. Democrat?

I'm Sergio Sanchez. It's an honor for me to be with you today. Stick around. I got more information again, that conversation with Art Del Cueto from the Border Patrol Union just around the corner. You're listening to The Dana Show. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. The company that makes the well-known handgun announced on their website that Gaston Glock has passed away age 94. The inventor of the Glock invented it back in the 80s.

Very popular with cops, lightweights and carried lots of rounds, but 17 rounds, they said. Tommy Smothers of the legendary Smothers Brothers comedy music duo has passed away. His family and folks at the National Comedy Center announced that he passed away Tuesday, at age 86 had been battling cancer. Mark Cuban, he will retain control of operations for the Dallas Mavericks. The NBA has approved

Mark Cuban sale of a majority stake of the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban selling the stake to a casino owner. 35th richest person in the world, Miriam Adelson. I don't know if these folks are gambling that maybe taxes will someday approve casino gambling, but

anyway, the sale has been approved. Thanks. The the deal expect to be finalized in the coming day. From South Texas, you're listening to The Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez. It's an honor to be with you and say hi online at Sergio Talk on Twitter on X. Stick around in conversation with another leader at Border Patrol Union, telling you how it is on the border right now.

This is the Dana Show. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips by following Dana on Apple. Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Our city here in Eagle Pass, we've been getting slammed with two to three thousand people a day. And it's just an unfair, unethical situation. What's going on here in Eagle Pass, we feel ignored by the federal government. That's Rolando Salinas, the mayor of Eagle Pass, far west Texas, right there on the border.

Del Rio, Eagle Pass, very small communities on the border. They can slam. mercifully for them, yes, I know, 30,000, 40, 50,000 people in these border communities, and their resources are stretched thin. But mercifully, these folks that cross at Eagle Pass, the cartels in Mexico, they cross at Del Rio Eagle Pass. They're not staying there. Even in El Paso, another Democrat mayor, El Paso, everybody criticizing all these Democrats, these crazy lefties open border mindset.

They criticized Governor Greg Gassel. for the charter buses. You know what, a charter bus system from the city, city approved charter bus system that I recall. I remember talking about Eagle Pass. City Hall, Eagle Pass, the mayor in El Paso. They approved a charter bus system to get all these illegal immigrants out of their town and wherever they wanted to go out of El Paso as quickly as possible to be sent up to places like Chicago. Warren, as you heard in the last segment, the NAACP president of in Illinois, Well, the racist remarks.

Yeah, if this said by a Republican, well, that person would be tard and feathered kicked out of town, wouldn't they? Oh, no, but it's the chief for the N.WACP up in Illinois saying all these racist things like savages and rapists and all those things. And just, you know, you're just joining the show. Yeah, do the rewind. Listen over the past 10 minutes. And you'll catch that. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to The Dana Show.

We're trying to close out 2023. and I have a conversation I want to share with you here in just a second. Speaking on immigration issues, and it's immigration base. Art del Queto, the Border Patrol Union guy, one of the top leaders. That conversation is coming in because it's not only the southern border, but it's also, you know, the Piney Woods up in, you know, separating the U.S. and Canada. Man, there is, so I'll say there's no border like Art told me. There is no border.

You got a flow of humanity crossing into the United States. There's a border, you know, wall, you know, revering, nothing, people just crossing. But on the northern end, from Canada, they're coming down from Canada, Piney Woods, just by the hundreds, the numbers going off the chart for Border Patrol.

You know what I found just amazing? Most recent poll on Joe Biden, 32% of Americans are confident in Joe Biden's border abilities, border policy, and his abilities to manage the border.

like almost a third of Americans, really, with a mess that we have right now? As far as sampling, this has to be all Democrats. That's pretty much the weight of Democrats in this poll. You can't look at us unless you hate America, unless you want the destruction of our nation, unless you want folks all over the place, low-skilled labor, just drowning the labor market, crime, public housing, bursting at the seams. Because that's going to be the initial reality

that is right now in Chicago. It is right now in D.C. and New York, dealing with this right now, compliments of Texas and the charter buses from El Paso, City Hall, from Governor Greg Hab in other places. 32% really? Who are these people?

Obviously Democrats. I'm just retortical question. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to The Dana Show from her affiliate, K-U-R-V, in the Real Grand Valley of Texas, an honor to be with you. You want to say hi online. It's at Sergio Talk on Twitter.

Telling you how it is on the border, the real story. Thank God for the Border Patrol Union. Go ahead, Steve. Art del Quento is with the National Border Patrol Union. Art, what market do you work? You and colleagues, where are you right now, brother? So obviously because I'm the national vice president of the union, I pretty much am in contact with every single part of the border,

the northern border too, which obviously, you know, is a huge part that doesn't get enough media place sometimes, but they're just, they're pretty swamped compared to what they usually are. So I'm all over the place, to be honest. Okay. But you're originally from Arizona, West Texas? I don't recall last time you and I spoke. Yeah, no, I'm originally from Arizona. Okay.

I've been down here. I grew up on the border, so it's funny because, you know, you get people that join the job, You get politicians. You get all kinds of people that all of a sudden are on that wagon of talking about border issues, which is great. But I can tell you, look, I grew up on the border. I was born on the border. I've raised on the border. I've worked on the border.

I mean, I've been here my whole life. What do you make of the mess we have in Arizona and the remote areas of West Texas? I'll call them the most vulnerable areas because the resources there in some of those places are very, very thin. And we've got a human tsunami that's crossing the border right now. It is, look, it's very chaotic, and people ask me, how's the border, how's the border? And I ask them back, I said, what border are you talking about? Because it seems like there has not been a border at all under this current administration. And a lot of the issues, obviously, is what you're stating.

There's remote areas with limited resources. And those areas do not get as much media attention as others because of the remoteness. So it is difficult sometimes for reporters, and I've talked to them, and they say, look, we could report on it, but where do we stay? Where do we go? And a lot of these times, you know, the closest hotel or city that they can stay in is several hours away, so it's a trek. And I can tell you just from what's happening in Arizona right now, we've seen on the news areas like Lukeville, Arizona that was just getting hit tremendously by, you know, groups in the thousands. Those areas never get media coverage. And the closest place to stay is several hours away, so it was more difficult.

You've seen what's happening in Texas. Fortunately, there's a governor out there that continues to bring everything to light. They have a lot of assistance from other law enforcement in the area, the police officers in the city, the state, everything you can think of. But you're right. There's remote areas where there's not enough resources and not enough people know about it. And I'll just use this as an example where it gets scary and dangerous at the same time. You're seeing all the individuals that are coming across in areas of Texas.

You know, you've got people from Venezuela, you know, Colombia, Cuba, all over the place, Latin America. When you travel towards Arizona in the remote areas that you're not seeing out in the media, that's where you're seeing individuals from the Islamic Republic. That's when you're seeing people from different parts of Africa. These individuals is where you have the military-aged men from countries that don't speak English, don't speak Spanish, and they come across, and that even makes it another obstacle for agents to be able to process those individuals because of the language barrier. Well, you've got big cities making a lot of noise, as you mentioned Governor Greg Abbott. And I say, thank God for Governor Abbott, this improvised program that's about a year and a half old now, busing people to the interior, because they want to go.

You want to go? Here's a free ride, air-conditioned comfort ride, and now planes are being used as well. But I find so just beyond frustrating, mayors in New York, Chicago, D.C., other places that are getting these illegal immigrants, they're not pointing a finger blame to the White House. They still support Joe Biden, the one who created this mess on this first day by stopping all the deportations and pretty much smoke signaling to the world. Yeah, we're open. Coming in across the border, and request your little asylum thing, get in line with the other millions upon millions of people that are to come, staying in line on the asylum. You're exactly right.

You know, and instead of pointing and even asking, when they do point instead of saying, look, we have a problem. When you do enforce our nation's laws, we need to stop this from happening, get rid of that magnet that has created this mess. They don't ask for that. They ask for more money and resources so they can continue to assist, you know, this mass groups of individuals that are coming into the United States. What needs to be done is that they need to be called out.

They need to be told you need immigrants. judges and asylum officers on the line and you need to fast track the people that are coming through and hey if there's a legitimate reason by all means but as henry quayard said he and i'll quote him he said look seven percent are legitimate asylum claims yes that's you know a big eye-opener when you're seeing millions and millions that have come across where are they that's another point if you remember the Obama administration was when everyone was talking about the many individuals that were coming across, the other company, juveniles. Well, all those juveniles are adults now, and where are they?

No one can tell you where they're at. And unfortunately, I think we're going to have the same problem with all these individuals that are coming into the U.S. now. Arta Quetto is where the National Border Patrol Union begs the question, as far as people who actually could qualify for protection in this country. Get some of some, because I was mentioning in the program, folks in Africa, Nigeria, for example, where thousands upon thousands of Christians have been slaughtered through the years. Let's say some people escape.

If you're going back because they will be slaughtered due to religious persecution by Muslim. Let's say the Uyghurs, some of them escape the slave camps in China. They go back, they're going to get slaughtered. And these people who could qualify for political or religious persecution, they're lost in the system. Unfortunately, you're right. They get lost in the system. And even the individuals that have been doing things legally, individuals that are waiting in line,

let's say their resident alien card is about to expire, individuals that are waiting in line because you're doing the right thing to get border crossing cards. All those people are affected. Remember during the COVID, how they closed the ports of entries? Yeah. So the ports of entries were closed during the COVID era. And during that time,

individuals that possessed legal documents, legal documents, to come across our nation's border, individuals that would sometimes come, you know, on the border cities, they'd come across, they do shopping, they go back, whatever it may be, things that actually helped the economy, right? During that time, our borders were closed, but you know who was allowed to still come in, claim asylum, and get released? Anyone crossing the border illegally? And it were crossing the border illegally. So once again, this administration, what did they do?

They hurt individuals that were following the law, and they rewarded individuals that were breaking the law. And I will tell you, those individuals that were crossing at that point illegally asking for asylum and getting released in the United States were not getting checked for any type of vaccination. Put aside COVID. They weren't getting checked for tuberculosis. They were getting checked for, you know, any type of communicable disease. And that's one of the requirements that is done with individuals that come into the country and they go through the legal process. So again, this administration has been a lawless administration rewarding nothing but lawlessness. Art del Queto is with the National Border Patrol Union.

What do you see at the northern border that's not in the news? So the northern border is getting hit just as bad. You know, I talked to some of the individuals up there. I mean, granted, their numbers isn't what they, what you see in the southern border. Yeah. But when you're looking at percentages-wise, there's areas up there in northern border that are saying that they're seeing an increase of 300% to what they saw before. That's a huge percentage-wise with limited amount, because for the longest time, you know, they've had a limited amount of agents in those areas that are compared to the southern border. and that makes even more areas that are porous.

Look, this is all strategically done by the drug cartels. The drug cartels know what they're doing, they know how they're doing it. How many times have we heard, hey, there's a caravan of a, you know, 6,000 or 8,000, or 9,000, but you don't see one massive group of 6,000 that's going to cross because the drug cartels, that's not convenient for them. That's not operationally sound for them to do it that way. So what is it that the drug cartels do? They gather the group of eight times.

Let's just talk about the caravan coming up. You're going to see. They're talking about 8,000. Yeah, a big one of the nearest. Probably going to grow. Yeah. By the time it gets to the southern border, you're going to have the drug cartels say, I'm going to send 2,000 this way, 2,000 this way, another 2,000 this way,

and strategically cross them knowing it's a distraction for agents. So at the end, they can cross meth, heroin, and, you know, other dangers. The cocaine, you know, they're still crossing cross and. cocaine again. So it's just, the cartels control everything and they know whether they're going to send it in the northern border or the southern border. They know what they're doing. And our administration is asleep at the wheel. All right. Be safe out there. You and the crew, appreciate what you do. And I'm so sorry that under this administration, Border Patrol is now the welcome wagon for all these people that are crossing the border illegally. I'm hoping for better things in November and better things for

2025, we're going to have to wait that long. Yeah, unfortunately, and thank you for having me on it. And you touched a good point, you know, that unfortunately that's what the agents look like out there. But it's frustrating sometimes because you do see some of the people in the public that say, well, the agents you just refuse. Well, you know, that's not how it works. You just can't refuse and refuse what to even vet because as chaotic as it is. And I'm going to tell you it's chaotic and it's a mess.

And I'm looking for that small silver lining and the small silver lining is, at least some people, they're getting fingerprinted, and individuals that have hit to be on the terrorist watch list are being prevented from entering. If the agents just said, I quit and not do anything, all those individuals would be in the country again. Very good point. Thank you, Art, and hoping for better things in 2024

for all the crew at Border Patrol. Art DeLuquehue with a National Border Patrol Union. Scary thought, and scary thought. I think that Border Patrol just would say, said, I'm out of here. I'm going to go get a high-paying job in the oil patch or drive a truck or do something else. Imagine? Like how many hundreds of individuals on the terror watch list have been caught by Border Patrol? Flagged caught. We have no idea how many people go away. We just know. I mean, the best guesstimates from Border Patrol. Let's say, you know, 2 million people this past the previous fiscal year, 2 million people that they processed border patrol.

And yes, under Joe Biden, allowing into the country to get in line. with everybody else seeking asylum. It was ridiculous. It was an incompetent policy. So the hundreds of individuals that have taken into custody, which by the way, oh my goodness, I should have asked him this. Where are they, by the way, the people that made the terror watch list? Did they get deported or that they get arrested? And then on top of that, the others, the rapist, the people wanted for murder and assault, you know, people with warrants. All these people taking on the custody.

And the God of ways, the best guesstimate from Border Patrol is, yeah, we suspect that, you know, take this number of what we caught, multiplied by two. And that's what we know got into the country illegally. It could be north of that because individuals with criminal workers, people on the terror watch list, they will avoid Border Patrol at all cost. So perhaps the numbers of criminals and potential terrorists are well north of what they caught. We just don't know. What we do know is it's open season.

It's a fire sale. America on fire sale on clearance. Just come in here and get while the getting's good under Joe Biden. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to the Dana Show from South Texas. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. From South Texas, still blessed soil, the RGV of Texas

at new studios of KURV. with the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez in for him. Our dear friend, Dana Lash. Chris, Dana, and all the crew, love you guys. Big hug. Happy 2024. Hang on to your hats. People. We've got one more crazy year to go. Hey, coming up next hour of the Dana show, if you thought that Lauren Beaubbard in Colorado was in trouble in her reelection bid, no, she just needs to jump a seat to continue running. I'll give you information on that. and Vivek Ramoswamy in the news. He stopped traditional advertising.

He doesn't stop advertising for his presidential campaign. He just stopped traditional advertising. And also the air scrubbers, the sanitizers, easiest fix to protect from pathogens. Where are they? That's next hour of the Dana show. Let's do some Florida man, Steve. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida man. Long story short, this is a happy Florida man story. Lakeland police officer, Dagen Leach, stage a lost wallet scenario. Got hired by a young man, wanted to propose to his girlfriend. Well, that officer took the young man in a squad car to a lakeside and pretended that, you know, he called the young lady, said, hey, I found your boyfriend's wallet. Long story short, he popped out of the car.

He took her at lakeside. She said, yes, that's a beautiful story. From South Texas, you're listening to The Dana Show. Personally, this announcement is a fresh start following a pretty difficult year for me and my family. I had never been in politics before, and I'd never been through a divorce, something I never intended to go through. I've made my own personal mistakes and have owned up and apologized for them. It's tested my faith, my strength, and my abilities, both as a mom and a congresswoman. it's been humbling and challenging, but it's also given me perspective and help me grow.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for everyone who has steadfastly stood alongside of me in the third district and across America. That's the voice of Congresswoman Lauren Beaubourt from Pablo Colorado, Republican, and of course we've been paying attention to the news, you know, some of the personal feelings that she was referring to, which, by the way, For most Democrats, that would be like a resume enhancer. But because, you know, more air quotes now, probably traditional voters on the Republican side.

And her district where she would have like a narrow victory against any Democrat, you know, because after all, just Pablo and some other more lefty places in Colorado. How is she going back to Congress in 2025 after the 24 election? while she has jumped ship. She announced that she is departing from Colorado District 3 to Colorado District 4. That's how she's going to stay a Republican in Congress. She hopes to stay as a Republican in Congress. I'm Sergio Sanchez.

You're listening to The Dana Show, our three of the program. Happy New Year to you. We're trying to close out 2023 as quickly as possible, trying to wrap things out. Thank you, Dana, for the call. You want to say hi online. It's at Sergio. on X, say hi on there. Yeah, so Lauren

Bolbert, jumping from Colorado 3 to Colorado 4. And Colorado 3 has the western slope, as I mentioned, Pueblo as well. Can kind of a few, several lefties in there. We'll probably give that seat to the Democrats if the Republican turnout is weak. And considering the

scandalous headlines related to her night out to see, and I forget what the play was. And anyway, she wasn't paying attention to the play. There was some other frisky stuff taking place. We'll leave it there. Go look at it up. I suspect some more traditional voters,

traditional value voters. They might stay home. But in District 4, Colorado, that's where Ken Buck will say used to be. That seat needs to be filled because Ken Buck is leaving that seat open. More conservative. I had a conversation with him sometime back. So that seat might be a bit safer for Lauren Bulbert

if she can convince the Republican base there that's slightly larger to keep her going to Congress and I know some of y'all working for a living and I don't blame you. You're probably saying, well, sir, she can't do that unless she has a house in District 4. No, she doesn't. She doesn't need one. One of the few things

tidbits of information I learned as I volunteer is Republican chairman down here back 2014 to 2018 To be a congressperson, I see three things. You need to be, I think it's 25 and older, and you need to be a citizen, obviously. Or a naturalized citizen at that, do you know that? It's like we need to be a naturalized citizen for at least like a half dozen years or something like that. So a citizen 25 years old, minimum 25 years old.

And since you're pretty much a representative of the state that you're from, You don't need to live in any specific district. I know it could be used. And I don't know if... Let me think here. See, the filing deadline came and went already. She announced that she's jumping over to three as the congressperson for... I'm sorry, she jumped from three to four.

She is now the congressperson for four, right? Because Buck's not there anymore, right? Let me go look at this. Because that's the way she would be on the ballot for four. because the fighting deadline came and went already and they got a primary coming up here pretty soon

in Colorado either way you don't need to be a citizen a resident in the district that you represent that's that's the Constitution

that's the way things are in the Constitution I want to say send a big hug to Chris Lash I saw what you posted yesterday brother from Reason magazine

their Twitter page, their ex page, reason, that little cute little video, and how Congress spent $7.5 billion on vehicle chargers two years ago. You want to guess how many have been put in place to charge vehicles? You probably tend to say zero, right? One, one. Seven and a half billion dollars for vehicle chargers.

Only one. has in place. Look for their page, Reason, magazine. And speaking of wasting money, the Biden White House spending a quarter billion dollars in more military aid to Ukraine. So the State Department announced yesterday, $250 million, expected to be the last aid package

for Voldemir Zelensky and his crew until Congress can come back after the Christmas New Year's break and start talking about maybe, maybe more checks being sent to Ukraine. Of course, all this tied to some of this immigration legislation, immigration reforms that the Republicans want.

I don't know, honestly, friend, I don't know how any of this is going to be resolved. The chasm between Democrats and Republicans, it is far and wide beyond what the political eye can see. Because I don't see it. I don't see how this gets resolved. don't see what is needed to resolve the illegal immigrant problem that we have right now because

Joe Biden is the problem. He's not enforcing border law. He's got border patrol as the welcome wagon for everybody coming into the country, everybody coming in the country crossing illegally. Pretty much every single person is now going to be standing in line for an asylum hearing. That's just, that's beyond nuts. So, some Republicans, before we talk about any Ukraine money, before we talk about any Israeli money, an aid package for them, we need to change immigration policy in this country because the republics are calling for more enforcement the Democrats they simply want billions of dollars more for the welcome wagon to they want more paperwork they want more blankets they want more plane tickets bus whatever it is that they

can get they want more aid for the migrants that are crossing the border there's no push back there's no enforcement there's no effort to dissuade anyone who is poor in this world from joining that massive caravan that is, as they said, exiting or leaving poverty behind. That's what they say in their posters. These folks in that huge caravan headed this way right now from crossing Mexico. They just crossed. There's Chiapas and Southern Mexico headed this way. Lord of how many thousand people, the latest, largest caravan we've ever seen.

They're leaving poverty behind. For the Democrats, they want more aid for us to absorb all the folks that are crossing the border illegally and allowed to stay in this country as. you know, they claim asylum. Republicans want to change the asylum request, so that way not people who cross the border and get an asylum request, it's because they deserve it. Or they're allowed to, not deserve it.

That's a wrong word. Under our laws, would be allowed to seek asylum because they're religious or their political refugees. One wants enforcement. One wants more meals, blankets, and a plane ticket. for people can't. How do you resolve something like that? So come the new year,

I think just my opinion, unless Republican leadership, they've been to need, they cave, and oh, we've never seen that before, right? And allow for more Ukrainian billions in Ukrainian aid, hundreds of millions and more Ukrainian aid for some just meager,

tacit a little bit of reforms to immigration policy that you know I can hear now immigration policy that will change in 2026 or something like they just kick the can down the road that's more than likely what's going to happen just so these politicians

can tell their base back on well we did something we passed these reforms to immigration law and now we're expecting Joe Biden to enforce it he hasn't a Joe Biden has an enforced present immigration law what makes you think he's going to enforce any new law that you put in place.

That's the problem. So I don't know how you... We will not see a fix to this. I'm sticking to that prediction. There will not be a fix to this. I think the problem is going to get worse, all of 2024. The flood, the tsunami is going to get even larger because folks are paying attention to the news.

The future illegal immigrants and the cartels that are enriching themselves to the tune of hundreds and thousands of dollars per head crossing the border. They're the ones that are air traffic control. The cartels are air traffic control. They're throwing 2,000 people here, 2,000 people over there,

going further west to Phoenix, throwing 2,000 over there. They're the ones who are directing this traffic coming into our country illegally and gaming the asylum system. I don't see any fix of this whatsoever. Forgive me for being a pessimist, but that's reality.

And as I mentioned, over and over, I'll never get tired of this. And I hope, that other folks in talk radio have a national stage, a national microphone. Guys, gals, you guys need to connect the dots for your listeners. You guys need to connect the dots for the voters. We index and talk radio. We index in news radio.

We index super high when it comes to voter engagement and involvement. I know that in this audience, this conservative audience, a news talk radio audience, you guys off the charts as far as being involved in politics, running for office, voting, turning out to vote on, stop voting stupidly. And tell your friends and family to do the same, which means, I'll connect the dot here for you. Stop voting Democrat in 2024, period. It has a D next to it, don't vote for it.

Period. Especially at the very top Congress, Senate, there's a glorious chance for American voters to truly upend the makeup of the Senate. There's a lot of Democrats running for office. You see an R next to it, just kind of like some of y'all did voting for Donald Trump back in 2016. At a spite just to poke the eyes of Washington, D.C., just to kick them in the gonads, just vote for the outsider. You got a Democrat senator incumbent. You got a Democrat representative, so-called representative. Ain't representing you.

Any representative of a country. vote for the opposition vote for the other guy the other woman stop voting stupidly stop sending these people back to Washington D.C. Let's do it. I know we can do it but we got to message this all year long

you know why? Because Ronald McDonnell I don't see any leadership whatsoever from the Republican Party from the national firm all these chairmen and women from all these 50 states plus the chairwoman actively

championing a campaign like this, announcing this battle cry, and pro-preemptively, proactively advertising right now in the black community and the Latino community and laser focusing a major ad campaign

owning the message right now on inflation, on the border, and the lack of law enforcement. Concentrate on those three. Connect the dots for American voters. Spend your money where it counts. Swing states. Just focus on swing states.

And focus on the states that are getting their butts kick, that are deep blue as well. I'd focus on New York. I'd focus on Illinois. I'd focus in Massachusetts. I'd focus on, yeah, focus a little bit of that budget online. In California, why not? Why not? And think outside the box.

You don't have to buy an expensive TV schedule. You'll probably be denied the TV schedule by some of these networks anyway. Thank God for social media. Do the social media thing like Vivek Romik-Romik-Zwami. I'm sharing a headline from him. He's not doing TV ads anymore. He's going for his younger base, a new generation of voter, that the old generation uses social media,

the new generation uses social media almost exclusively. That's where Vivek's going. I'll share that here in just a little bit. I appreciate you just sticking around. This is the Dana show from what I refer to as her Southern Command in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You want to say hi?

And join us on Twitter. and join us on X at Sergio Talk, at Sergio Talk. One of the topics I want to share with you a conversation just a little bit. You know, just think back to the whole COVID thing that we had two, three years back. One of the easy fixes that would have prevented all of us from shutting down society would have been air scrubbers. I think about this all the time because I'm blessed to have a regular conversation with some of the health authority folks here in deep South Texas. Air scrubbers.

You know, they've been around for the longest time. There's variation of these air scrubbers. Just clean the air. Zapped the pathogens, the viruses. Zap all the bacteria. You can do that with some of these blue light machines that we have. Some of these air center, they have them for emergency for, for operating rooms.

Operating rooms at the hospital. They need to have clean air in places like that, right? It's for schools, for stores. For public places that are enclosed, just clean up the air. Three years removed from COVID, where are these air scrubbers? Anyway, I want to share a conversation with you. Somebody on the front line of business watching this. I appreciate you sticking around.

I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to The Dana Show from South Texas. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Medical notes, one of the most popular asthma inhalers on the market, It no longer will no longer be available starting the new year. Drug Company GSK saying it is discontinuing its flow vent inhaler. But don't panic, they're replacing it with the generic version.

Generic version will work exactly the same as the branded inhaler. Let's see. From North Carolina, AMC Theaters apologizing after a disabled civil rights leader went to go see a movie of the color purple. which is now like a musical, right? Disney came out with, I think it's Disney, with a rewrite, the redo of the color purple. I prefer the original one, by the way. At a time when I like Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah a lot more, I love those two in that movie, the original.

The new one is more like a musical. Anyway, this North Carolina disabled civil rights leader, 60-year-old Bishop William Barber went to an AMC theater to take in this movie. And anyway, AMC apologize to him. He's in a wheelchair. Suffers from a form of arthritis.

It makes it almost impossible for him to, like, without pain, transfer from one seat to the next. So they couldn't allow him to see the movie because they didn't have any disabled seating for him. He needed to take it like a regular seat for the disabled. This kind of, the story reminded me when mom was around.

I'd take her to the movie. movies every now. It was the Cynemark people. They allowed like a little space in between seats at the front. But maybe this was like an older AMC property. Maybe that was the problem. And New Harvard research, finding that low-carb diets might actually make you gain a few pounds. I want to take a look at that big study, 120,000 people.

From South Texas, you're listening to The Dana Show. Happy New Year. Tired of the same old predictable commentary. spice up your day with a Dana Show podcast where dynamic discussions, compelling guests, and Dana's unique perspective await. Download on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. I love where we're sitting right now, Pete, where the mainstream media has got our expectations low hanging me in fourth place. I think if you take where the mainstream media's polling narrative is of having me just in the high single digits in Iowa, we're going to shatter that. He's quick on his feet.

I gave you that much. And Vivek Ramoswami has taken the most pertinent, salient issues on the campaign trail and has taken the time to think things through. How is he going to respond?

Obviously, I mean, you can tell how prepared he is he's got it loaded, ready to fire when somebody answered, somebody asked a question. Unlike, surprising, like Nikki Haley, like she's all in the news today because

Somebody asked her, some plant, some Democrat left this crazy plant, asked, hey, what was the reason? Nikki Haley, what was the reason for the Civil War? Just put it flat out there. Like, what a completely irrelevant question. But in her chance to throw it back at him, to call him out as a plant and point to the question as completely being irrelevant to the realities of the American people today, how much money you're spending on food and energy and everything else. Do that and point a finger at the modern day slavery that we have under Joe Biden. Yeah, all these illegals entering the country working for way below minimum wage.

All these sex slaves promoted by just completely open, uncontrolled migration to this country. The cartel is making money with sex slaves in this country. Point to that. She didn't do any of that. She bitter times. That's how long it took to answer. I could sing a whole lot more. That's how longer pregnant pause was thinking about this.

Instead of flat out saying, yeah, almost two generations. Yeah, it was slavery. Big pushing issue, the whole issue that pushed the major division in this country. and the whole state's rights, Southern states and other states wanted to keep slavery. Others wanted the abolition of it. Yeah, the driver, slavery.

Which, by the way, I welcome our Democrat plan. Which, by the way, thank you to the guy you voted for, Joe Biden, for creating a modern-day slavery. Just like that. Just like that. Think about it. Woman, you're running for president. Vivek Ramoswami, he thinks things through. He knows what the major issues are.

And I love some of his quotes. I can't tell you, I love him as a candidate. But I love the fact that he's there and he's contributing to the conversation and maybe a place under a, oh, Lord Jesus, please listen to our prayer. Maybe a future Donald Trump administration. I wouldn't want him as vice president, no, but I would want him to sit there at the table with Donald Trump and saying, Mr. President, X, Y, Z. I thought things through. Think about it, sir. and then go out there

as I don't know maybe some assistance somebody providing advice some advisor maybe I don't know I just want to be there to contribute because he's I think he's contributed to the discourse I think despite his political history

or non-history or Democrat-leaning history he's contributing mightily and making some salient points especially when it's targeted at the Republican leadership right now the incompetent national leadership of the Republican Party they should be thinking out the box and be proactive and go on offense right now in advertising. And speaking of advertising, Vivek Ramoswami, saying, ah, so much for the traditional form of advertising and politics.

You know what, in 2024, I have friends in media who are on the business side of the office. Whether it be my business side over here, because we got a cluster of stations here and south. Oh, by the way, I don't think I introduce myself. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to the Dana show. Thank you, Dana, for the call. Love you, friend. and all the crew. Happy New Year.

Reporting to you from Southern Command in South Texas, RGV. This is the Dana show. I got lots of friends in media. I just like the chop. There's that meme of that dude, that black dude with that yellow jacket, right, the gold chain.

And he's like, he's like rubbing his hands. And you can see his time. He's like licking his shot. He just sees on the horizon something that he wants. Well, in the business side of advertising, they know there's going to be billions and billions of dollars in advertising. People running for Congress, people running for state offices, people running for in some states. The Senate races are up for grabs. The presidential, you know, the sexy race that everybody pays attention to, all these working people pay attention to.

It's the presidential race. And then the coattails. There's lots of money to be made in advertising in 2024. But here come the kids, the new kids of media, which is the social media, everything from YouTube videos, everybody going online. to watch some funny videos or something they like. And there's that intrusive five-second, 15-second video on YouTube. Sometimes they're merciful enough to allow you to skip it within five seconds. But if you can say what you need to say to that potential voter in five seconds

and those online videos, I think that's the now money, the future money, the smart money. It's frequency. How many hits? How many times can you repeat it? Frequency, frequency. That's the name of the game in advertising. I would know because I have to do some advertising for my station, my cluster, here in Deep South Texas. Vivek Ramoswamy is not going to spend his money on expensive local TV.

He's not going to spend his money, his ad budget, on expensive network TV. He's going on social media. Good for him. Good for him. I'd say use high-frequency targeted radio stations, where you get the traditional base out for you, with your salient points very well prepared effective communicated effectively some of these saline points that you're making about the Republican establishment the Republican

party the leadership lack of leadership the attacks on Donald Trump all those things make them 30 second snippet boom 15 seconds in a boom on radio for example online on social media get those messages out there in little snippets that's smart money because you can get who who what it be 30 times more, maybe 15 times more, the repetition, the frequency, the number of hits to eyeballs and ears, on radio, and on social media, Vivek Ramoswami recently had spent more than $200,000. Let's see.

As recently as the first full week of December, Vivek Ramoswami had spent $200,000 on TV ads, expensive network and probably some local TV ads, I'm guessing, but it says the TV is expensive, of the traditional route. Spent $6,000 on ads TV just last week. So he's going to go through the new media. And we have a generation that we're bringing up right down that doesn't recognize television, doesn't recognize traditional television.

I have some dear friends in standard television industry, local TV industry, and I feel for them because they're dancing, they're doing the dance, or trying to improvise, they're trying to do online, whatever they can, which all this competition, I do hope and pray will breathe the innovation, maybe new products, new ways of communicating for traditional TV.

But those companies, they need to take the life both to social media, just like we've had for 15, 20 years now, all of us. Whether it's print media, a lot of them got killed, no more print, no more killing trees. If they exist today, they exist because they're online. Same thing for TV, they're going to have to find a way to fix this, and going to have to find a way to dispense their product at a cheaper rate with a higher frequency. Vivek is talking to a new generation of potential voter.

They just need to turn out. And that's the thing about younger voters. Usually they don't turn out. But good for him. I'm glad he's in there. And he's providing a lesson. He is schooling the party and what they need to do right now. By social media, high-frequency social media, high-frequency radio.

Do it in swing states. Just focus on that. Go on offense. Black community, Hispanic community, all the potential voters. You know what to do. And obviously, you're not doing it. I'm talking to the national party again. Let's see.

You've got 16 minutes to the hour. Thank you so much for joining us on The Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez reporting to you from South Texas. You want to say hi online. Do the X thing. Twitter thing at Sergio Talk. Let me share with you something related to our health. So during COVID, we all learned that air scrubbers did an amazing job. Some of these blue light things and also some of the other technology,

that has been around for the longest time in operating rooms at hospitals somebody getting cut open well obviously you need the air needs to be cleaned killing pathogens cleaning the killing viruses and pathogens and zap and all that stuff that was the easy fix the quickest easy easiest fix to push back against COVID keep everything open we didn't do it we I hope we learned a lesson but I don't think we have because of this is being promoted today. And it needs to be.

Here's my conversation with an expert in the industry. It's upper respiratory infection season. And you've heard, of course, the news about RSV, and then some people getting COVID again and again, and the flu season, and everybody spreading germs and viruses. So let's talk about indoor air systems, sanitizing systems, purification system. Those things became very popular at some schools

and some airports, other places. You know, like the stuff they have at hospitals to try to purify the air, that's back in the news. Matt Moberg is the director of consulting for the ISSA, a trade association for the cleaning industry worldwide. Matt, indoor air systems, are they being installed in schools and businesses today and shopping centers as they were back in COVID? Because I think that was the easy fix for COVID. Some of these systems had blue lights in them, air purifications that filters, and they were able to. to nullify viruses and germs? Yeah, absolutely.

So these are definitely becoming more popular. Some of the things you had just mentioned, you said, the blue light, typically that will be something like a UV light. There's also carbon filters, and those are used to really purify the air and, you know, disinfect any airborne pathogens in there. And it's beginning, the uptake of it in, you know, non-medical, non-educational buildings is definitely continuing. COVID was a large driver of that.

as well. To tell somebody, hey, if you go into that movie theater or you go into that college classroom, the air that you breathe will be, let's say, hospital quality. It's purified to hospital standards like emergency room or, I'm sorry, operating room standards at hospital where it definitely needs to be. We have the technology and we put it into areas of common exposure and common use. I think that would give people peace of mind and set decide all fears, any temptation to shut down society if we have another outbreak of something. Oh, absolutely. It definitely gives you that reassurance that at least the air itself has the best chances to be, you know, healthier than it would be with no filtration or purification.

The ISSA, can you tell me what that is, brother, you're of the consultant for that? Yeah, absolutely. So ISSA was founded in the early 1920s. We actually celebrated our 100th year this year and it was established as the International Sanitary Supply Association so we represent our members are everything from building contractors that go into clean to in-house service providers so janitors at schools or environmental service workers at hospitals and then we also represent manufacturers as well as distribution in the industry can you give me best guess man how many businesses in this country, especially the ones who cater provide services. It could be restaurants, it could be education facilities, medical facilities, or just shopping centers. How many would you say,

Matt, are using air filtration systems, purification systems across the country? Percentage wise? Just take a guess? Oh, that's a really, that's a really, that's a tough question. I would say I can easily make the assumption that the uptake in K through 12 and higher education as well as obviously health care, those are going to be your higher percentage groups as far as uptake and installation and reconsidering of systems. Okay, so limited to those education and medical, 50%, 25%, 75%, what would be your best guesstamette? All this, of course, spurred by COVID. Yeah, absolutely. So a great example would be a school district.

I'd say the majority of the new buildings being put up. Okay. I'd say it's got to be upwards of well over 75%, 18% have some form of, you know, a lot of these new HVA systems that's becoming much more standardized. But you'll see with a lot of school districts that they will have buildings that are 100 years old and they will have buildings that just open last week. So the range within a school district can be pretty fast, as well as, you know, many universities are putting up new buildings as well.

So they see a big range in the age and lifespan of buildings. Matt Mulberg is with an association for the cleaning industry worldwide. It's called ISS. We're talking about indoor air systems, filtration system, purification system for the air that you breathe everywhere. Could be the shopping mall. Could be your kid's school. If education, Matt, if education facilities and medical facilities have been the priority to try to sanitize the air. And I hope airplanes, too, by the way.

then this tells me that everywhere else that we're going, the big box store, the grocery store, all those places, no, they don't expect to have any air purification filtration system there. Correct. But what I think we're starting to see is a lot more regulation. Requiring some of these things are beginning to start setting standards and expectations for all types of facilities and how they handle indoor air quality.

And it's indoor air quality not just talking about, the typical pathogens like flu, COVID, RSV, but also looking at the other quality factors, right? Carbon monoxide, some of the things that typically mold put off, you know, they do have an effect on indoor air quality as well. But looking at all those factors, you know, realizing that it has a major impact on the human body or quality. I think it's a selling point, man. I don't know. I think that would be a selling point to say, look, you come over to this grocery store, come over to this gas station. Hey, gang, we filter. we purify our air, we got your back, you're good to go.

No need for masks, no need for, you know, get the prick, vaccine, whatever. You're coming into a super clean environment. Don't you think that would be a top selling point for businesses? Oh, absolutely. And we see that, you know, I think we will eventually get to a point where I live in New York State and every restaurant has to post the health grade that they have for the cleanliness of their operation. I know I think eventually we'll get to a point where something like that with indoor air quality is posted, right? So, you know, we follow these protocols for indoor air quality standards.

It's definitely making that way towards that direction. Man, it's a pleasure. Thank you for your time today. He's with I-S-S-A, that's an association for the cleaning industry, met Moberg. Coming up next on the Dana show, well, just ahead of the deadline to print ballots in the state of Colorado. What looks like former President Donald Trump will be on the ballot in the 2024 Colorado primary that's coming up in March. Yeah, the deadline was just around the corner for printing these things.

I'm Sergio Sanchez and for a dear friend, Dana Lash, happy New Year. Happier, 2024 for all. As you guys start adjusting your budgets, get used to all the hyperinflation we suffer over the past two, three years, and get ready to affect a change, be part of the change in 2024. The primaries are right around the corner, and I went digging for more information on Colorado

3 than Colorado 3 and 4. Colorado 3 is Lauren Bolberg. and if I remember correctly, she eeked out a victory. It was like 500 something, 500, 600 votes. That's what she went back up to D.C. So in the news today was Bobert. And today and yesterday was Boebert running as congressperson for District 4, Colorado, which is like solid Republican, like plus 20-some-od, almost plus 30 Republican against the Democrat.

and I found an article towards the end of November, which means that she filed before the deadline for Congress 4 in Colorado. Just that's why I did a follow up to that. I think that's how she made it in or was going to make it on the ballot in Colorado. Well, thank you so much for joining us on the Dana show. You want to say hi online.
