Mandami and Democrats want to talk about affordability? We love that subject. We love it. Look at the facts. I brought some this morning. It's the Republicans who are working every day to make life more affordable for working families. And it's not a talking point for us. We are delivering.

After four long years of skyrocketing prices under the Biden administration, we had to take over. You don't flip a switch and reverse that overnight. It takes a while to work those policies out of the system and to get the new ones in. President Trump and Republicans are delivering results for the American people that they can see and feel. To date, we've seen core inflation is nearing its lowest level in four years. Gas prices have fallen to a four-year low. Prices for everyday goods continue to decline, and blue-collar workers are seeing the largest increase in wage growth in nearly six decades. That's the result of our policies.

And Congress, House Republicans are working hand in hand with President Trump to advance his affordability agenda. It is President Trump who ran on that. It's President Trump who's delivering on that. And we are all partners in that new effort to make America great again. It begins with the economy, and we know that. We're laser-focused on making a difference in the lives of hardworking American families. Here's another demonstration. The working families tax cut. It is aptly named. It's the largest tax cut in U.S. history for working and middle-class Americans. You got Bernie Sanders running around. They're talking about the billionaire. It's not this. That's the opposite of the truth. Look at the facts. That bill was written for lower and middle class earners and they are the ones that will feel the positive effects going into next year. We included in that as you know no tax on tips, no tax on overtime real tax relief for seniors. These are the kinds of things that people feel and they see that we're making good on our promises.

Well, they're going to have to figure something out in terms of messaging for everything because now that the flight can't are kicking in everywhere. That is going to be something that coupled with grocery, like, you know, beef, et cetera, they got to have, they got to have something. They got to have some kind of, this is where Democrats are going to try to make it trickier for Republicans. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. A very exhausting week. I was caught up in some of the travel stuff. So I know exactly what it's like. It's a pain in the backside. I will say traveling through DFW was lovely because they're aging. are very nice, but not everyone is the same. And O'Hare is a nightmare. It is a nightmare.

We almost didn't make it back. We almost didn't make it back today for today's show. It almost didn't happen. I mean, it was, they had flights canceled and it was getting bad. And one of the other things, too, is the TSA agents were, or not TSA agents, I should say the gate agents, were telling people, it's going to get worse. It's going to get worse. It's just the way it is. And then, you know, Democrats are going to use this to really make a put, have a crunch on Republicans. That's what so much of this is about. So welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this first hour. And this is, you know, they, they've had a group of Democrats that they were going to, well, not a group, I should say, like a couple of them that they, that were coming to the table to negotiate. And I just, you know,

I don't know how. Maybe they're going to get a deal. Maybe they won't. We'll see. But the bottom line is that there were some of them that, I think there were more of a, like a couple of moderates, like Federman, et cetera, that we're looking at going into all of this. And the response from Republicans has been to not move on it, which is correct. I mean, they, I mean, they also just have to just get in place. and start amping up the messaging on, yes, you can't, you can't just go out and say that

Democrats keep voting no. We know this. You can't just say, well, Democrats are voting no. We know all of this. We know they're voting no. But what Republicans should do during this period is that there should be, they should have like news conferences every single day. This is what we would like to get done. These are the things that we would like to get done. This is how we want to, you know, for instance, lower the cost of beef. And this is what we've been doing to to to to to that point that's some of the stuff that they should be that they should be putting out there and maybe I mean we'll see but I really think that that's the most important messaging for them to have at this point here's our plans here's what we're doing this is what

we've been doing because not a lot of people pay attention like all of you out there not a lot of people do it and it's just the way it is and this is like I said I don't know if you've seen some of the the airline stuff, who, and they're going to make that hurt. I think that now they're emboldened to drag it all the way to the holidays, Kane. Yeah. I think they're emboldened to drag it all the way there. That's what I think. I did see several Democrats last night on different, you know, outlets.

And they were just claiming, no, we're going to vote no today. Thune wants to open it up today, and we're going to vote no, because it's going to hurt our brand if we open it up right now. Right. Yeah, they're going to keep voting no, and that's what we're going to have. that's all we're going to have. The push on that isn't so much coming from the Schumer faction either. A lot of it, I mean, you're getting, you're getting a lot of this. This is from the Jayapal's. This is from, you know, the Chris Murphy's. It's from all of those folks, the super far lefties. And we'll see how it, we'll see how it unravels. I also want to

play some other audio for you. This is, oh, let's see. see here. This, where do we, because I got a couple of things. A lot of it's the Mamdani. By the way, that's, this is cut 14. This is also going to further empower them to not do anything. Listen. Zoran Mamdani, is he the future of the party in Democrats combat Republicans demonizing him? I mean, a lot of people believe he is going to be on ads across the country and as a kind of a target for Republicans. Yeah, I think the future of the party is Zoran and Abigail and Mikey, right? the future of the party is that we're a big tent party. Big tent party.

We're going to save, I'm going to bowl this. We're going to come back to this. Big enough for the extremists. Where does this sound familiar? Where does this sound familiar? You know, where have you heard this before? Big enough for the, big enough for that. Where have you heard it before?

Just saying, oh my goodness. All right. So this, we're also following a number of other things. We still got all that because the infighting won't stop, but it's important. We also have consumer sentiment down. I was reading this headline from MarketWatch earlier, consumer sentiment down to a record low. I'm wondering how all of this is going to kick in for the holidays, though, too, especially with shopping and Christmas shopping, et cetera.

And then a lot of people travel over the holidays. You know that the flights are probably going to get more expensive now as a result of all of this. Did you see, so if you, if you were unaware of the flight thing, they had it where they are canceling, they're reducing, I think, how many was it? Like 800 something of flights? Something to that effect. They were, I mean, it was an inordinate amount of flights. And they said some of the worst airports that were, that were affected are O'Hare, which is already feeling it.

Just let me tell you how it went. So when we, because I was going to try to get back to make the radio program, we almost didn't even get back yesterday. but when we we had a 2.30 a.m. pickup three and had to be wanted to get it because I was anticipating it was going to be rough. We were supposed to board our flight at 430. When we got there at O'Hare they didn't even have security lines open and the line was already almost two hours long. So when we walked in at 2.30 in the morning, there were people that we talked to who said that they had just spent the night at the hotel or sorry in the airport lobby. There were people, it was like a homeless encampment. People sleeping on.

the floor everywhere when we walked in. And it didn't matter if you were clear or first or whatever. Nobody cared. It did not matter. It didn't matter. So when they started opening up, they only had two lines open at first. And it was going pretty slow. I think we were, we were probably, I mean, it was about two hours to get through. And then flights kept getting canceled and moved back and moved around and it was just, I think we sat on the plane for like two hours and then everybody had to get off the plane and then you, we, I mean, we got the last flight out of Chicago, literally, the last flight out of Chicago. And when we left, I mean, you just have to take whatever seat. My husband travels with me. So he was somewhere on the plane where I was somewhere in the plane.

I was between, they were very nice gentlemen. But I, you know, sitting in between some strange dudes and all packed in like sardines just trying to get out because it's that bad. So if you all are planning to travel for the holiday season, good luck with that. Honestly, I mean, road trip is probably your best bet, not kidding. And a lot of this is, you know, Democrats want to make it hurt. They absolutely want to make it hurt. And I absolutely put all the blame on them because they had no problem passing this stuff previously. They had no problem voting for this stuff earlier. This is just them being petty. 40 airports. And it's all the nation's largest airports, according to FAA. And so they had, everybody's been scrambling for this. It's, they said as of this morning,

over 700 flights were canceled. That was over 3% of the total schedule for the day. They said now, this is, if you have major storms, that's something that's, it's similar, but it's usually, you know, pretty much centralized to the area that's having the storm. This is all over the United States. So, I mean, it's, the cuts are going to increase to 10% next week. So it's 4% today. Tuesday, it's supposed to be 6%. Thursday, it's going to be 8%. Next week on that Friday, it's going to hit 10%.

And this is going to be the 70 second worst since, like, coming out of pandemic. It's bad. This is bad. So we'll see, we'll see how it goes. But they, I mean, it makes me wonder, too, you know, does it affect the crew on the ground? Like, you know, baggage, all this. It was, oh man, it was a mess. Absolute mess.

You got to think of all the stuff that it affects. Absolute mess. So we're going to keep watch over that. But I would very much, I would be very careful. I do not envy anybody that's traveling at all right now because it is an absolute mess. So we have a lot still to touch on. We've got headlines coming up. We're going to get you set up with a bunch of other stuff.

And all of that. We've got headlines on the way as we move. Don't see. We're going to just go. We got headlines coming up. Stick with us. We got more in store.

This is coming in from the Hill. Debt balances continue to rise. They said younger borrowers are actually struggling more. If this stupid pop-up from the hill would go away, they'd be great. Younger borrowers, 18 to 29, are struggling with the most late payment. Student loan balances rose to a record $1.6 trillion. And total household debt climbed to a record $18 trillion last quarter. Most of the borrowers, they said, are remaining on track with payments.

Young Americans are getting squeezed. This is all like going into some of the stuff we're going to be talking about. later. Let's see, the first trailer for the Michael Jackson buy-up was released. So, I'm not watching that. Are you going to watch it? I'm not going to watch it. It's just weird. I was a huge fan back in the day. Michael

Jackson? Are you kidding me? I mean, look, I know, but it's problematic now. It's problematic now. That's some talent there. But it's problematic now. You know that. Isn't it? Just because of rumors. Dude, he went to court, didn't he? That's how you get rumors to look valid.

I don't know. I mean, it is weird when you're man, you got somebody else's kids sleeping at your house. I'm just saying, it's weird. Dallas Cowboys player, Marshawn Neeland, dead at 24. This was unreal. They're investigating it as a suspected homicide. I mean, I heard he, you know, taught himself. That's what I heard, so I don't know what they're saying is suspected about it.

That's a horrible story. Defensive in for Dallas Cowboys. They said it was like late Wednesday, early morning Thursday, and that they said that he, I mean, apparently there, It was in Frisco, and he had evaded troopers during a pursuit with DPS, and they lost sight of his vehicle. Apparently a crash on Dallas Parkway heading south and then fled, but they ended up finding them. Just a horrible story. Also, Robotaxi runs over and kills a popular cat that greeted people in a corner shop.

Kit Kat, the cat, was run over by an automated car. A bartender rushed him to the veterinarian hospital, but that kid. cat did not make it. Everybody's very sad. Well, because auto cars don't care about that. They're like, he was a special cat. They were saying, you can tell by the love and support he got from the community that he was a special cat. I'm sure he was. That's right,

but he's got run over. That's sad. But I mean, it's, you know, they don't stop for stuff like that. Like, what if you're in a robotic taxi and, like, they come across a deer? Does it just plow into the deer? I'm like, how does that work? Is it like the little robot vacuum that's like, oh, oh. I think the cat might have

been too small for it to see. You think? They should have sensors everywhere on that. Yeah, you would think so. We just talked about all of the stuff with the flights. They're cutting 10% at 40 major airports. The full effect of that's going to be kicking into gear next Friday is when the full effect is going to be felt.

So, yay! That sounds like a lot of fun for you guys, doesn't it? Sounds like fun for everybody. Nobody. Nope, nobody. Nobody thinks that. Also, let's see, Denmark is set to band. social media for children under the age of 15.

I don't know why government. I don't like government doing stuff because to me that's the parents job. I just don't, this is why I don't like bad parents. Bad parents make situations like this where now you have the government that's trying to use bad parenting as an excuse to expand and take more control. That's me really what it is. Just not a fan of any of this. Also, let's see, they said, uh, da, da, da, da, da, this.

Fast food chains are offering $1 meals to snap recipients. This is at Carl's Jr. So they're offering a $1 meal to those impacted by the government shutdown. And at five paragraphs in, because this British paper, the mirror, doesn't know how to properly write an article. And I think all these people should be chained behind a lorry and drag. They said that Carl's Jr. is one of, it's true. They ought to because I can't stand that.

When you read an article and the leads buried acrafts down, I get enraged. Few things anger me more But that's one of the businesses that's doing it It's only in Los Angeles though So if you want that one dollar meal You gotta go all the way to Los Angeles To make that happen

And let's see Also Getting into it Hang on me pull up a couple of other things here I'm still recovering from being up for 27 hours Straight because of all the travel nonsense There's going to be a big old fight to replace Nancy Pelosi That's coming

her exit strategy. I feel like this is on purpose. She just is just spite. She's just going to make them fight it out. So they're kicking off this, this wide open contest. And of course, you know, San Francisco is dealing with cost of living, et cetera, et cetera. There are a number of people that are going to be stepping up. All of them are insane extremists, too, by the way. If you thought you were going to get something better, not going to happen. We have a lot more in store coming up as we rolled awards the bottom of this hour. The infighting continues. Plus, shut down. more. Stick with us. It's our friends at Keltec, the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun.

And if I have people who want a second guess what we're doing, why we're doing it, I've done all I can to minimize disruption in the airspace. I'm trying to get people where they want to go and get them their stuff.

safely. If people want to question us, I would throw it back at them, open up the government. You know, that we have to take unprecedented action is because we are in an unprecedented situation with a shutdown. And so, by the way, if I don't take this action, Rick might be the first one to come at me and say, why didn't you look at the data and why didn't you take action to keep people safe? He wants to go at me one way or the other, no matter what I do. And so again, I have a number one job of keeping people safe. I've looked at data. I want to be preemptive and I want to make sure people are safe in the system. And by the way, this is not a political decision. We did this with the safety team at the FAA. We did it with the administrator of the FAA. As that data came in,

we decided to, you know, make the decisions that we thought were appropriate. And if I have people who want to... Well, and true. I mean, they're doing the best that they can. It was kind of a fecal storm before he got into office because, I mean, you had Pooh-Pooty Jus who, what the hell did he do there? That he left it in such a mess. I mean, you guys remember Pete Buttigieg when he went on

oh, geez, guys have to forgive me. I literally, my brain is not all the way recovered. When he went on maternity leave is what I was looking for. I think this was in let me look it up I think was it I think this is a political piece and he

yes it was so remember when he went on maternity leave for three months because he bought some kids and then he you know came back etc but he acted like he was completely out of pocket for that entire three month period there was a story that ran that apparently people within the department of transportation

were leaking to members of the press. They were upset because he was never around. He wasn't answering emails. And this was when they had the protests, the Longshoremen's protest at the docks. Yeah, that's when he, why are they sitting in a hospital bed? I never understood that. It's not like they birthed these babies themselves. It's weird to sit there in a hospital bed and hold kids like you just gave birth. I don't, I don't understand it. So I'm looking at this piece. And this put-booty juice, he was not able, they couldn't get, they couldn't reach him. They had questions as it related to the, the longshoreman strike.

In addition to that, that's when things were still kind of reopening in the wake of COVID, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And they had a lot of questions as to how they were going to help make up and deal with the backlog. And if there's any bureaucracy that, you know, he could get through. because he's sort of like, you know, he was the, the peace between, you know, all of the workers and Biden and he just didn't do his job. And so they leaked like, now, this is why this is so important. They were Democrats in the Department of Transportation leaking to Politico about this. That's how bad you know it was because they, they, they, it was already a civil war there between these people. It was already a civil war. Just craziness. So I don't know. I think. feel bad for Sean Duffy because it feels like he's having to deal with all of this stuff that was just laid to just no no one ever dealt with it. Juan's preparing video for you of the time when Booty Juice pretended to ride a bike in D.C. And they, this was him. And he got out

of the SUV. This was like two blocks away. He wrote in the SUV. SUV. They didn't even, he didn't even get his own bike out. They had people get his bike out for him. and do this. Him, get it out for him. Look, they were, they're strabbed him on the bike like parents do to a child. This is the stuff that he did. Oh, look, there's poot-booty juice, right? And, you know, he didn't do that.

This is crazy. This is the kind of stuff that he did instead of actually, you know. Again, he was a DEI hire and he didn't do anything. And I feel bad for Sean Duffy because they feel like Sean Duffy. He's getting a lot of criticism from Democrats for stuff that Democrats did. It's just and it's so frustrating to see. And now we're all dealing with it. And that's one of the reasons why I'm so mad about it.

Now we are all dealing with it. All of this. I think it's all related. I mean, why is it that, you know, we had, why is it that, that our airports are such a mess? Why is it that, you know, we, I mean, we were having these issues even before Trump won the election. And now they're going to act as though, well, all of this is because of. It's all Republicans. It's really what it is. Stop it. It is not. All right. So a few other things from house cleaning. So I participated in a debate and it's going to air next week. It was tough. Alan Dershowitz,

you know, there are a lot of people that don't like him, but you know that the old saying about old soldiers, right? Okay, well, that also applies to old litigators. There's a reason why they're around because they're very good with rhetorical stratagems. And, you know, there's a reason for that. So was in Chicago where Chicago is such a beautiful city. And I hate it so bad because of, I hate it because it reminds me of what it used to be before it was entirely ruined by Democrats. And also because it's like the communist stronghold of America. It's where all the Marxist movements got started was in Chicago. So was up there for the free press and fire that they do these debates, which I think are incredibly important to do.

because, you know, discussion right now, in a simple discussion, it's such a, you can't really have it anymore. Everybody's so tribal and everything is so siloed. But going in there, I was reminding me to such a beautiful skyline. But as we were getting started, there was, Barry Weiss walked out and made, she moderated, made remarks. And I mean, literally within 30 seconds of her speaking,

they already had a pro Hamas person jump up and start screaming. And it, I mean, no one could say anything. No one could, you know, because she was so loud. And they had to drag her out because she was disrupting the event to the point where we couldn't have it. So they had to drive. And she was saying, oh, you're murdering people in Gaza.

And I, da, da, da, da, nah, these people always let Hamas off the hook. That's why I can't take them seriously or consider their points to be of any worthiness at all whatsoever. And I think that, you know, I was, there's, there's a couple of things that I think dovetails into what's happening now because while all this was happening, you know, Tucker, Tucker Carlson, I've been in a really weird spot because I've known him for a long time. He was, you know, I brought him content for his program. I know that when people get free content from content creators, they like to think that they're doing those people a favor when you make their show. But, you know, and, and no, we were friends. And he very kindly when I brought him, you know, our school board fight here because our school board, we were the first in the nation before Virginia to vote on the school board stuff. We had all those issues going. And so, you know, he aired that. He talked about it.

And it was very helpful. I don't know what happened to him. I know people like to joke around and say, oh, well, you know, he talked about getting attacked by a demon. How do you know he wasn't wrestling with an angel, a la Jacob, just saying. I'm saying, Kane's face over there. Woo, your face. I never considered that, but that could be legit. That's, okay, so in fairness, my husband suggested that to me.

He was like, what if it wasn't a demon? What if it was an angel? And this was God saying, stop it. I'm just saying, you know, for taking for what it's worth, very interesting. We were just, you know, speculating. We were talking about it because he will, I don't feel like he's going to go on any program where he's going to be challenged or speak public. with anybody that is going to make him really, really vigorously defend his perspective.

And so that kind of, it's, I find it to be a double standard that demonstrates a weakness to me. And I don't like weakness. We either go out and advocate for your values. And if you cannot withstand scrutiny of your values, the problem isn't with the person that's doing the scrutinizing. The problem is with you or your values. And maybe that's the issue. And that bothers me because, I mean, I went and I argued against a guy just, you know, this week who has literally been in the courtroom longer than I've been alive. Like he was already a well-respected attorney before I was even born when my mother was a child.

Okay? That's how long he's been doing. He's like in his late 80s for crying out loud. And I still went. Knowing full well it would be the hardest debate in my life. I still went. so that's why I don't have a lot of respect for people who don't do that for people who only go to the friendly places for people who only want to go to the safe space podcasts or the safe space

stages that's what it is it's a giant downpillows safe space you're not contesting ideas you're just further presenting them without rebuttal and that's a weakness so I think and this has been going on and on still because Heritage came out with another video. Dear heavens, why, I will never know. They keep doing it. And I think that a lot of people, myself included, would have a lot more grace if you stopped saying that the free association is cancel culture. And if you stopped telling people who are good Christian people who are objecting to things that are absolutely scriptural moral failings as being unacceptable in a coalition, if you stop trying to pretend that those people are attacking someone.

On the right, we are coming up with this way to defend bad ideas by not allowing them to be contested in the public space. That's what so much of this is. They don't want bad ideas to be contested in the public space. I got into it with the guy who is with, who is it, that Tom Jones guy, the American Accountability Foundation, which is basically like a, great value media matters at this point. And I just think it's weird when you run a firm's account.

First off, Tom Jones, you're running this account. Are you, does Tom Jones running the social media account? If you're a think tank, don't use your think tank in your mask. I had to argue with people and pick fights. That is one of the stupidest PR moves I've ever seen, especially with someone like me, who has energy to literally outlast you for a millennia. I will literally drag it out until my dying breath. That's just the way it is.

So he decided, because I made the remark that they were sending out these emails, Amy Swearer is a friend of mine. She's at Heritage. I'm going to tell you, Amy Swearer is very solid on the Second Amendment. She's great. And she works really, really hard in the advancement of Christian faith and of constitutional principles. And to have someone like her being spoken of as like traitorous, this idea that, that heritage wants to have one voice, then make sure that the one voice you speak with

is actually a culmination of all of the voices there. If you're going to have a one voice policy at Heritage, then maybe make sure that it's not so badly spoken that you have to do five and six videos to clean up the first video that you did. We are at a level when this is not learning on the job. We're at a level where people can literally call a president of the United States and affect change.

This isn't about grace. This is about shock at the absolute lack of professionalism and planning and preparation and general knowledge. I got more video on this to come that we're going to play. But, you know, for instance, where's the, let me pull this up. I have a million windows up. Forgive me. And look, Kevin Roberts came on the program and I give him credit for doing that because he knew it wasn't going to be an easy interview. But there was the audio of him where he was saying, well, you know, I really don't follow politics.

politics. That went viral over the weekend. It was everywhere. Or this week. It's everywhere. He had said, well, you know, I really don't, I don't follow politics. So I, you know, I watched, how, how are you the head of a think tank? And you don't do that. We're going to come back. We got a lot more as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. I need relief factor. I need relief factor for my computer right now because everything's operating slow. Relief factor is a 100% drug-free way to handle everyday aches and pains. They wanted me to tell you about this guy named Bob. He's 63 years old. He's 40 years as a car painter and a body man. Bob could barely walk and couldn't make it up the stairs.

No question. Can you tell me what category of fat I fit in? So it's based on your shirt size. So if you are a 1 or 2x, you are small fat. 3 to 4x, you are mid-fat. 5 to 6x, you are super fat. It's based on what level of privilege you have in the world. So someone in a small fat category may not struggle getting on an airplane.

But someone in a midfat or super fat may not be able to use even the airplane extender. So that's where that comes in and like the privilege levels of like what fat means to different people. What in the world am I hearing with this? So wait, this is like Starbucks coffee's orders. I would like a fenty. I would like a grande. I would like, yeah, small fat, nit fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat. I look at it like you're either curvy or you're morbidly obese.

Morbidly obese. It's not, people aren't saying these things as a way to mock someone. That's actually, I mean, it's actually spoken from a place of concern over somebody's health. I mean, if I see people who are so obese that it actually makes them, they're breathing labored just from walking, or walking fast, that's a concern. I mean, goodness, that's like your health, your heart, everything is affected. But these people, I don't, I'm just trying to understand the, gosh, why? I don't know.

I'm trying to understand the psychology, always feeling like, or thinking that everybody's after you. I think it's not even that they believe that everybody's after them. It almost seems that it's just a way to exert a power. that they cannot obtain any way else, except through victimization. What the hell is even, what is midfat? What is small fat? Small fat is not a thing.

That's not, no, that's not a thing. Oh, well, you're small fat. You can fit in the airplane seat. You're small fat. And it's not everybody else's fault either. What do they mean by the privilege that goes along with it? What does that mean? Like you're more privileged if you're super fat than small fat?

Or are they saying you're more privileged if you're small fat than super fat? That was unclear to me. I think that one makes more sense. So because you're healthier, that means you're privileged. What all does that mean? Stop with this privilege nonsense. That's so brady. Coming up, we have a lot to discuss, including I wrote a really good piece.

And I think that this is the reason why you see this identity obsession, this, way of identifying. We've had a generation of third and fourth way feminism that has gone after persecuted men. We had the future as female. And now we see this artificial masculinity presenting itself along with identity politics. All of that stuff has wrought a horrible consequence.

So I, I'm, and everybody's been asking, so it was in Chicago this week. I already experienced all the cancellation fund, believe.

It's real. All the headlines that they're saying about airline travel. It's not exaggerated. But that link to the debate is going to be online next week and you'll be able to see it then. All right. So switching gears here. So we have to discuss because there's new videos all the time. First off, let me do, let me start with this Tucker Carlson cut. He was on a very friendly stage and he was discussing APEC. And this was last night. I think he was discussing this last night I well let me play the audio soundbite first

and then we've got to correct something in this audio soundbite go ahead this was cut a million thousand I don't even know anymore time no I'm sincere question why is the overwhelming majority of the U.S. Congress taking money from a foreign unregistered

lobby like what like what is the answer from APEC why is that okay and they want they don't they want to prevent you from asking that question because there really isn't a good answer other than shut up. Okay, so they're talking about A-PAC as Megan, because he was on with Megan Kelly. So Tucker, he's talking about A-PAC, and Megan's like, oh, yeah, he's talking about A-PAC.

I don't care if you hate A-PAC. I don't care. What I do care about is the lying that it is a foreign entity. If you want to go after somebody, by all means, go after them or go after the group. But one of the things that we must do to distinguish ourselves from the left is to not lie out of our backsides. It's very simple. A PAC is not a foreign entity. They're an American entity full of Americans and they deal with American dollars.

And they have an American board of directors. And it's literally against federal election campaign law to take foreign money when you are a PAC and you are registered. and you are registered, this is your structure, you can't accept foreign money. So they would be violating federal law to accept foreign money in the first place. I mean, all of this stuff is hidden on this thing that we call the Internet. It's hidden. It's like the ancient scrolls, Kane. You know how they found the Internet?

They were in the desert and they rolled back a rock and lo, twas the Internet. and it had all of this information on it that you can just Google. Yeah. That's a spell that you would use, Kane, on the internet, in order to get it to give you information is Google. That's how that works. I don't make the rules. So they don't get foreign money.

I don't care if you dislike them. Don't go on stage and be like, oh, yeah, APEC is a foreign entity. Yeah, they get foreign money. You might as well go along with the whole, oh yeah, Trump, Russian, collusion. This is so goofy. Stop it. So I don't, I can't take you seriously when you're lying. Did either of them bother? I mean, I'm trying to be. Megan is a, is a friend, and I really like Megan. But that's not accurate to say that it's a foreign group. By the way, I don't know who, I don't have never met anybody from APEC in my life. Actually, wait, I think I did. Isn't Dershowitz on Apex board?

I don't know. Because I met him in person for the first time at this debate. So, I guess I can't say that I've never met anybody from APEC before. I, I've never been to one of their things. I don't care. But don't sit here and say for the purpose of farming edge lord rage that it's a foreign entity because it's not. Or that they get foreign money because it's literally against their tax structure and federal law. You can't just say these things. You know, you need to be saying things that are actually truthful.

This is one of the reasons why people, I get that you, look, if you hate it. the Jews, that's on you. But don't sit here and fabricate stories out of the ether to justify your unbridled bigotry. That's the end of it. This is what I'm talking about. You can sit here and say things like, well, I didn't like Netanyahu's speech or I don't like what Herzog did or I don't like the decision that the Knesset made, etc. Fine. But to go, oh, A-PAC, foreign group, foreign money, yep, yep, yep, yep. that seems less rooted in truth and more rooted in just don't like to Jews, right?

That's what it seems like. I don't know. They, like I keep seeing, well, they got to register under Farah. Well, if they took foreign money, I would agree with you. But they don't. So, you know, now what? Right? This is what I'm talking about.

It's such a problem. Going on safe spaces, you know, on safe stages so you can say these things. it just doesn't make any sense to me. You know, this is one of the things that I, so we've been talking about this whole issue of identity politics and the whole, I, how do you, identitarian movement, identityism, which is, they keep describing it as a far right thing. I just think it's a left thing. I think it's like the horseshoe theory because the left engage, engage,

is in identity identity politics. That's what it all is. It's all that. It's all making, fashioning idols out of race and creed, et cetera, which you're not supposed to do as children of the kingdom. Now, the reason I say this, I'm going to pull up this. There was a great piece that I tweeted out. And actually, what I'm going to do is I'm going to have a sub-stack piece that I'll send out later today and I'll link it for you subscribers. Constitin Kissen wrote this. He also has a video. But I think it's very interesting what he said in this piece because he's talking about the, here's the problem with the woke rike.

I think that there, I think a lot of its bots, I think a lot of its foreign influence. And I think that, you know, people, and I don't, I would love to be able to talk about this with Tucker publicly because I realized he just started reading the Bible a couple of years ago. And I'm not even going to get into some of the heretical things, you know, that were being said about the new Testament and Old Testament that were on stage at this event, that'll be a separate thing. But I don't think that you can just suddenly become a Christian and then start being a shepherd. I mean, again, Paul even was not in a spiritual quarantine, but he went through a period of learning after he was Saul before he was given the task of being, you know, a great disciple. So my point is that I think

that there is in this whole woke rike thing, the Identitarian Movement, there is a a major group of disaffected young dudes. Now, I'm a boy mom. So I've seen this. I have a very, I have a very sympathetic perspective to the rage that young men feel. Because I think the only other people who could feel a similar rage or as close to what they feel are their mothers and maybe even fathers. But especially the mothers who hate third and fourth and fourth wave feminism. Because let me tell you, raising boys in a world where I have third and fourth wave feminists constantly telling them that they are the problem and that they are toxic, why do you think, why do you think one of the reasons I am as aggressive as I am? Because while my sons grew up in that

environment, I as a woman, starting from a young woman, becoming a young mother and raising kids into young adults grew up with that. And I am very hostile towards it because I think it is a cancer. I have a lot of rage towards third and fourth way feminism because of that. And I have a huge body of work that details it. So I am very sympathetic to the rage against a culture that has tried to prosecute them, persecute them, smear them, dismember them, shure them, dismember them, shove them down and oppress them. I'm very sympathetic to that. And I also realize that there are a number of these young men that are trying to find a way to push back. And I personally think that you find that in scripture. But I also understand that they would like to do it very quickly.

You know, we have this instant gratification society, which is also part of that. They do not think it's moving fast enough. Now I will say, and I had a reader make this point, or a listener make this point earlier, because I had remarked on this on social media. I posted Kissin's piece, and I said, what's happening with young men to make them susceptible to the poisonous, you know, weirdly artificial form of masculinity that presents with this U.S. identitarianism. I said is explained very well in Kissin's peace. The whole godless future is female stuff. And the generational feminist shaming of men has wrought a terrible consequence.

And someone made the point too, which is great that, you know, it's peaked with the Me Too era and it's subsided. I agree with that to an extent. But I think the damage was done and I still think that the impact is still being felt in academia. There's so much to explore because of the fallout of this phenomenon. Now, to my point, here is to go into this. Now, this, he writes in this, the boomer con establishment, I honestly feel like, can I be real that a lot of the heritage stuff is boomer con. Now, guys, please do not send me email saying I'm disparaging all boomers because I'm not.

Not everything is about you. Stop. Boomer con establishment does not understand that Fuentes is not the problem. He is a symptom. And the reason they don't understand that is they, don't understand young men who make up the overwhelming majority of his audience. The entire phenomenon is driven by a number of factors which are affecting young men. Listen to this guys. Listen to this. They are the most fatherless generation in history. A quarter of Gen Z, a quarter,

grew up without a father present. Up, he writes, from just 9% in 1960. They have had, Here's another fact. They have had less male guidance and direction, Kiss and Rights, than any other group of men in American history. And by the way, this is all cited with a number of studies. They've had less male guidance and direction than any other group of men in American history. Even the boys born after World War II.

The most murderous war in human history, which killed over 400,000 American men. They did not experience, he writes, the economic prosperity or political stability of the pre-9-11 era. Buying a house, especially in America's major cities, becomes harder every year. Household income stays stagnant. Cost increases. He adds, they were educated in a school and college system, which is overwhelmingly

female. 77% of American school teachers are women. We're not criticizing female teachers here or suggesting they're not as good as men. And many female teachers are great. But this is the sentence, and he's right. It's harder for women to teach boys how to be men. And as a result of the growing feminization and education of society and education at large, many young men were not taught how to channel their aggression, their anger,

and their competitiveness into a productive category. He writes they were instead taught to suppress these natural male urges. Gen Z spent their entire formative years lagging. behind women in education and earnings, and now young women without children out-earned men. And for the entirety of this time, they were told that all men are trashed, that the future is female, and they were to blame for every ill of humanity. And it may be true, he adds, that women haven't always had a fair deal in society, but that was never the fault of 15-year-old Zuma boys, who understandably bristle

at being held responsible for something they neither create. or benefited from, but because they're white men, nobody cares about their problems. That's true. So is it a surprise? He adds that some of them are angry and resentful and rebellious. And this perfect storm of alienation and the death and the dearth, actually, of male guidance presents a lucrative opportunity for a new breed of influencer. Unlike fathers and uncles and male teachers, sports coaches, and on, Fuentes is not motivated

by a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of the boys who listen to them. A father is incentivized to raise his sons in a way to make them resist their worst instincts. Fuentes is incentivized to do the exact opposite. Do you know why I criticize the leaders of the woke rike? Because they're not helping men become men. They're telling you to go give into your worst impulses. Men can be great. Young men can be great.

And they can reclaim and reshape what a generation has lost. but this is not the way to do it. We got more to come as we rolled awards headlines as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's our friends at preborn. They meet women where they are and help fight the narrative that comes from society that's just pelted at these women, that these women, if they're facing an unplanned pregnancy, they are not strong enough to see it through.

They're not strong enough to be a mother to raise a child. Preborn meets them where they're at and says, yeah, you are. And they not only do that, they introduce these babies to the moms through an old. ultrasound. And there are numerous studies that show when a woman hears her baby's heartbeat for the first time, that baby's chance at life actually more than doubles. I've been saying doubles, but it actually more than doubles. And they have saved since 2007 over 380,000 babies. They've counseled over half a million women. Do you know the cost of an ultrasound's only $28? Can you, if someone said $28 and you can save this person's life, would you spend $28 to save someone's life? Because that's literally what the

question is, that's what you're doing. And you can even give, in a bigger way, if you're able, $15,000 puts an ultrasound machine in a needy women's clinic. All gifts are tax deductible. Every dollar matters. And I'm going to tell you, abortion hasn't gone away just because Roe v. Wade's been overturned. It's still the leading cause of death globally, and now over 60% of it is from abortifacients morning after pills. Help pre-born fight for life.

I wouldn't want to go into space. You think the air travels bath? Well, these astronauts are stranded in space. They are Chinese.

CCP. Why can't the CCP go? Go get them. Question mark. A global plea is growing for Musk to rescue three Chinese astronauts stranded in space because their return capsule got struck by an unknown object. Some of us might call that. Just saying.

Officials, though, revealed this week it sustained damage while docked in orbit for the past six months now. They don't know what struck it. They think it was space debris or aliens. But they said, please Elon Musk, please capitalism in the West. Come and rescue our astronauts. says China. Hmm. There you go right there.

Trump needs to seriously be making gigantic, brakadocious tweets about this. So the misery map for flight issues is flight aware. It's literally called flightaware.com. You can go and see. And yeah, all the big ones. It's all bad.

Chicago's the worst. Of course, this is the worst. Dallas is getting bad, but it's not as bad. Chicago's the worst. going in pretty much Midway's better in New York it's all bad

but it shows you the number of delays and the number of cancellations so if you're going anywhere it's called flightaware.com and it's an interactive map where you can go and immediately see real time

what's being affected also a body of a woman who was killed in a car crash wasn't found until her family reported her missing they took the car to the impound yard but they didn't actually remove the woman's body

He's taken over $230 million from pro-Israel groups. During the summer against Iran, even though he advised against it, Israel still attacked Iran,

and the U.S. still bombed on behalf of Israel. Your father's frustrations with the Netanyahu have been made clear when he cursed on national TV over the situation. Israel has not been a great ally to the U.S. all the way since 1960 when they bombed the USS Liberty. Israel is a nation where Christians are constantly under attack in both Gaza and the West Bank. We talk about America first and defending Christians.

but how can we do this if we align ourselves with a nation that does not do that itself? There's no question. My father said frustration. In fact, I think he says frustration throughout the whole conflict with both sides. At the same time, make no mistake. You have a nation that is chanting death to America every single day on the streets of Tehran. You have a nation that will develop a nuclear weapon, and you have a nation that will use that nuclear weapon against the Western way of life. There's no question about it. You have a nation that will use proxies, around the world, whether it's Yemen, whether there's a lot of other ones, to inflict serious, serious harm on the station. And they don't hide it. They don't hide it. In fact, you know, it's really interesting about a year ago, maybe a little over a year ago. So that was at a

turning point USA event. So this is the second T.P. USA event where we've had, we've seen a question like that. And we were talking about the disaffected group of young men that are making up what, you know, I think everybody's kind of colloquially, you know, it's the woke Reich, not woke woke right. But this is the second event, different part of the country. Second question. And this was to the Trumps this time. So it's not going away. And it's not infighting because when you have identity politics, that's something on the left. That's not the right. That's not, you're not arguing with your own side to oppose that. Joining me to discuss this, my friend, I've known him for, gosh, over a decade. You know him from Daleyware, co-founder, bestselling author, America's number one rapper. Well,

former rapper. He's retired. Ben Shapiro now who joins us by a video. Ben, first off, I wanted to get your thoughts on how this isn't, it's not just a passing thing. I mean, this is a growing thing. And there is a significant number of people in the Gen Z, you know, demographic that are, they have, they're talking about this. They're amplifying a lot of this. This is just bad information that a lot of people have. And they were infuriated. I just looked on social media. I'm sure you saw it. They were infuriated with Eric Trump's answer. And I kind of wanted to get your thoughts on this and we'll dive into it further sure well i mean i think that we can start with what's driving this in the first place i think one of the things that that is driving this

is the fact that for a decade or more there was an attempt by the left to basically target christian white men and there's no question that this is true that that just in terms of policy policies were designed in order to disadvantage christian white men whether it was going after the little sisters of the poor or the attempt to meet to anybody who who was you know masculine in any way the attempt to say the men could be women, the sort of DEI nature of all of American politics, the BLM movement, which is directed at the idea that there's a white supremacist superstructure. And in saying that over and over and over, what the left actually did is they started to create a feeling in a lot of young white men that as a targeted group, they actually were an identity

group of their own. And then now as an identity group of their own, they must rise up and lay low, anybody who is not a member of that group. And there are a lot of influencers and a lot of political commentators that we've talked about who are fomenting this because, goes viral online the algorithms particularly on x and on tic-tok are very very fond of this i think for a wide variety of reasons some decent and most not decent i think there are a lot of manipulations in the algorithm there but there are a lot of people who are perfectly willing to cater to this and then to and then to sort of promote this idea and that's how you get to this place i mean the fact

that this was happening at a t p u.s a events and these sorts of questions are the kinds of questions that the charlie kirk himself was routinely receiving over and over and it was clearly coming as as Nick Flentez said, is clearly coming from Nick Flentis' side of the aisle. I do not think this is originally a general outgrowth of normie traditional thought. A lot of the kinds of questions that you're hearing here. The vice president was asked last week whether Judaism was targeting Christians, which is an absurd contention, just historically and contemporaneously. Those questions are coming from a particular place.

And the humoring of that particular place is something that Charlie actually did not want to do. Charlie actually forbade the involvement of Nick Flentz and the Groyper mentality and white supremac. from TPSA, obviously, that door has been breached. And I think that's why you're seeing that at TPP USA. And, you know, frankly, I think that the TPP USA could do a better job of working with some of the personalities with whom it is currently working who are promoting this sort of stuff. Well, and this gets into the whole, I mean, I just saw, you know, a clip of our, someone we know mutually, Tucker Carlson, who is on stage with another person that we know mutually. He was a friend of mine, Megan Kelly, a friend of yours as well. And there was a discussion like, just,

just as an example, APAC. And it was said on stage by both that it's a foreign, that's like they're a foreign entity or they're taking foreign money, which just isn't true. I mean, and we talked about that last segment. Having someone... It would be illegal for them, too. Exactly.

It's against, yeah, it's against federal campaign finance law. But the, but having that, that's actual misinformation. And that's being very generous in that because I'm sure it's been pointed out to him repeatedly that that's not how that group works, nor is it the tax structure of it. But when you have people of that caliber, who are stating those things, a lot of people just sort of borrow the credibility, or they borrow the caliber and they use that as a credibility to justify the perpetuation of these false things. And at some point, you know, how culpable are these people at that level for driving that

misdirection? I mean, I think extraordinarily culpable. I think that the fact is that we're all responsible for the things that come out of our mouths. I mean, that's what you do every day. It's what I do every day and holding people to account for the things that come out of their mouths in front of millions of people seems like baseline decency and also baseline responsibility to your audience and to your job. And so the constant promotion of lies. I mean, I won't say it's misinformation because I do think it's lies. I think they know better in order to promulgate a particular agenda that frankly I think is anathema to traditional American conservatism, as I made, I think, clear repeatedly this week. It is a very bad thing. And the truth is it's also not making life

better for any of these young men. I think one of the biggest problems that we have, and I think this is true on the left. I think it's also true on the right is this idea that the best thing for young men to feel is aggrieved. The worst thing you can feel in America as a general rule is to feel aggrieved. You are the luckiest people. We are all, all of us are the luckiest people in the existence of all of human history. We are so lucky to live in this unbelievable country where legitimately you can go on your

phone, push a button, and things just arrive at your door, where you get to decide on your leadership where you know all the people who are complaining about cancellation are making tens of millions of dollars online from talking and then complaining about how some people don't like them and are criticizing them we are also lucky to live in this country and when we we hear this kind of constant grievance mongering and and the extent the accentuation of grievance among young men you're doing a disservice young men the way that young men are going to get ahead in america is the same way that i got ahead as a young man which is to work really really hard and do a lot of really hard jobs and then eventually you will succeed. If you make good decisions, you will succeed.

And there's this kind of benighted idea that has set in. And I think it's ugly and it's bad. And you see it on both sides of the aisle, predominantly left, but you're now seeing it on the right as well. That actually everybody is a victim. That if you're not as successful as you want to be, that's because there is somebody standing in your way, some conspiratorial codery of people who are standing in your way. There's nothing more enervating and stupid than that in the United States of America. These are all college students who are all going to have a shot in the job market, they're going to have a shot at getting married. They will have a shot at buying a home once they get married and actually get a job and work for a few years if they make the right

decisions. And instead, you have people feeding them the line that the best way for them to address their life is through disliking women. I mean, you hear that. I mean, Tucker Carlson is a man who glossed Andrew Tate, who is one of the worst people on earth with regard to women. That the best way to address your problems is to pretend that there is some secretive group of people meeting in the back room to manipulate America's foreign policy, as opposed to, you know, be very powerful president of the United States who has a mind of his own very clearly. This idea that all the problems in your life

are the responsibility of somebody else. I hate it. It's wrong and it makes people's lives individually worse. For those joining us, we're just talking to Ben Shapiro. You know, I, and I hate how it's always, you know, the choice to exercise free association is you've seen it. It's described as cancellation,

which I think is so disingenuous, which brings me to heritage. And, you know, I wanted to believe that Kevin Roberts, who I had on the show, president of heritage was misinformed. Maybe, you know, an underling gave him something to read. I really wanted to be very, very generous and give someone the benefit of the doubt because it was just so egregiously bad. But then to spend like five and six videos later trying to clean up the first one and they just keep getting demonstrably worse, it's not cancellation. And we have that

free association. But the problem is I'm just trying to figure out what is happening with one of the most, you know, I guess historically conservative. organizations on the right? And do you think that they're salvageable? Is all the mistakes that they've made? Is it salvageable? I mean, they're facing a civil war within their own organization right now. You know, I don't want to speak for what's happening inside the organization or on the board. I will say that I thought that Kevin's last video, which must have been hard for him to cut, where he basically said, I should never have said that Tucker Carlson can never sin against Heritage Foundation. We'll always be besties forever that actually were a think tank. And as it turns out

that if you violate our ideas, that means that we actually can to associate from you. Listen, would I have preferred that he actually just said, Tucker Carlson, glossed a Nazi, he's not welcome here? Yeah, I mean, I think that would have been the easiest way to deal with the issue. He didn't do that. He sort of walked it back, but he did move back on it pretty markedly. And he also acknowledged that the original video was quite terrible, which obviously it very much is.

And so I do want to give people grace when they actually are seeking it. And I do think that Kevin is seeking some sort of grace from the conservative movement. I think that, you know, again, in the interest of comedy and in the, the interest of trying to orient toward the left. I think it would be good for us to offer grace to people who are seeking it. I have no reason to believe that Kevin is genuine in that. How in the world do we push back? I think we've done a really good job, you know, in terms of people who really believe in constitutionalism. We don't, you know, make idols out of race and creed and all of that stuff. How do we push back against this or how should I alter, have alternative programming

to push back against the sorts of messages now that are really, really, really, taking root and leading so many people, particularly young men on the right astray. So again, I think that what we're going to see on the right among young men particularly is a battle between a grievance-based culture and a work-based, good decision-based culture. And we need to provide the opposite because, again, I think that the easiest thing to do is to pretend as though there's not some sort of iceberg underneath the surface here. When people are asking about the USS Liberty, for example, which is a friendly fire incident that happened in 1967 during the Six-Day War and friendly and for which the United States did full

investigations is rolled in full investigations there's contemporaneous tape there's tons of evidence on this there have been full investigations Israel ended up paying I'm going to dive into that actually amount of money to everybody who's killer in right yeah I mean like this it yeah exactly so I mean to to be honing in on that as opposed to you know the fact that right now Tucker Carlson and many people among him are glossing the Russians and if we want to talk about you know people who were responsible for a lot of deaths across the 20 century, maybe the Russians. How about the Venezuelans who are currently killing people, you know, through shipping drugs to America? So let me dovetail into that. I don't mean to interrupt you.

A few days ago. Let me dovetail into that because what you just said, I think you're hitting, like you're talking about Venezuela and then of course we have the Katari element, all of this stuff. Honestly, and I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but sometimes Occam's razor comes into play and I feel like this is one of those times. You know, we were talking about all of the things that were grieving young men. And we agree, you know, the third way, fourth way, feminism, the left. It seems like this is, this is a consequence of leftist policy run amok. now, you know, where it's all coming, you know, to harvest. But it also seems like it was seized upon by a lot of bad actors, foreign bad actors. And there's a lot of discussion about Qatari money

coming into it and CCP boosting algorithms as a way to decentralize, you know, positions on the right, fracture the right. And then, of course, you know, break an alliance in the Middle East. I honestly, that seems like the easiest explanation to me as a way to, you know, try to inflame and divide the right. Last question for you. I mean, do you think that that's ultimately why this has exploded as big as it has? I mean, I think it's algorithmically true. I'm always going to be hesitant in saying that individual people, you know, are on the payroll of any foreign country without any evidence to suggest that. And so I'm going to, I think in some ways even worse, suggest that what the stuff they're doing is actually genuine bad ideas coming from a genuinely different place.

And if that's the case, then I think that we have a deeper rooted problem. But the algorithms that are, in fact, boosted by foreign powers pretty clearly are having a major impact on young people. That's actually a scarier answer than I thought I was going to get out of you. So I don't like that answer. It's terrifying because it's worse if it's a sincerely held belief as opposed to someone's being like a mercenary. That's the truly scary thing. Ben, you've been so good in all of this and you've been very consistent. And thank you so much for that as well.

But now we got to go save young men in this country. That's what we got to do. That's our next thing. Ben Shapiro. God bless you. Good to see you, my friend. We have more to come books. As we wrap up this second hour, it's our friends.

who are over at Burn a gun. I believe you guys know, I've told you this a million times. I'll carry, I don't, I absolutely have zero issues in using a firearm or lethal force to defend myself or somebody else, my loved ones. I don't care. I absolutely will because it's my Second Amendment right. I also know that a lot of times you have private property restrictions, municipal restrictions that make that impossible. You can't carry, like college kids, for instance. You could be 20 years old and live in a different town and you have to like maybe your classes end, it's dark outside, you have to walk back defenseless to your vehicle, to your apartment or wherever. Something like a burn a gun is ideal for the situations that I'm talking about because you do not want to be left entirely defenseless.

And a lot of these places already have restrictions on knives and all of that. So why not get something that has, you know, the ability to give you, you know, a chance to be safe and defend yourself? It shoots, burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. The, they have the SD, the Burna SD, which was their most popular model. I think it's being overtaken by their new one, the compact launcher, that's the CL. It's basically the size of a phone. There's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And if you compare this to stun guns or anything like that, they have maybe one or two,

you have one or two rounds with that. This is 15 rounds in a cartridge with the CL. So you are able, you have a lot of chances there, right? and it doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. It does not care about there's no background check. There's no fee. There's no tax stamp. There's no any of that.

And it ships right to your door. So this gives you an ability to at least have some means of defense. And you really should check it out. I'll never understand why people don't diversify their weapons array. You carry different calibers. You carry blades. Why not have something for when you are restricted beyond your constitutional rights? Take advantage of Berna's Black Friday and.

It's time for Florida man. You know what really struck me about this first story. The first thing was that of all the things to argue about, the second thing is, why does he look like he's dressing up for Halloween and his hat, Phil McCoy? That's the second thing. So Peter Riera, 44 in Port St. Lucy, Florida man, he got into an argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay. I'm not making this up. This is literally WPBF.

This is literally an actual story. So the police said that he got mad during the argument, and Riera fired four shots from 45 at people that he thought were trying to con him outside of Harper's Pub early Tuesday morning. So they had a They had a conversation about how many eggs chickens can lay and Riera apparently raises chickens. He's the feller on the screen that you're seeing if you're watching the simulcast literally in short

overalls Birkenstocks and he looks like somebody from Hatfield McCoy's dispute and that for whatever reason the conversation turned into an absolute fight over how many eggs a chicken can lay at once

and yeah he started firing. He's like Frank from Always Sunny. So anyway, I start blasting. Good night. So he got major big time trouble, as you can imagine. You know, that's, I don't even know. A St. Petersburg woman faked a crime using an AI generated image. St. Petersburg police of the Florida woman showed them a picture. She said she took of a suspect. But then they recognized the picture from a TikTok trend and they said that it was created on chat GPT. They later found the picture in a deleted folder and they said that she had literally created the image just a couple of days earlier. She said that the individual forced himself into her home and that was, I mean, she was trying to like,

she said she was sexually battered, but it never happened. She made it up. He was an AI generated dude. She made it all up. This is crazy. Monday I'll tell you about the guy who pulled a knife on somebody in a public's bathroom because he really needed to use the stall. Stick with us. Third Hour next. Ammo squared, a business idea. I really wish I would have invented myself. But instead, I'll just be a happy customer. Ammo squared is America's ammunition reserve. It's a worry-free solution to collecting and storing ammunition for the future and avoid getting caught empty-handed. I think everybody remembers the panic bind of 2020.

stay ready that's ammo squared dot com tell them dana sent you mr trump miss trump i'd like to ask about your father's relationship with israel he's taken over two hundred and thirty million dollars from pro-Israel groups. During the summer against Iran, even though he advised against it, Israel still attacked Iran and the U.S. still bombed on behalf of Israel. Your father's frustrations with the Netanyahu

have been made clear when he cursed on national TV over the situation. Israel has not been a great ally to the U.S. all the way since 1960 when they bombed the USS Liberty. Israel is a nation where Christians are constantly under attack in both Gaza and the West Bank. We talk about America first and defending Christians, but how can we do this if we align ourselves with a nation that does not do that itself? So he brought up, and this was a TPSA event, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this third hour.

So this was at a TPSA event, and one of the audience members asked about USS Liberty. Now, we were talking about the disaffected group of young men that have grown up, and we talked about this. We'll post that online, too, by the way, that grew up, you know, being told that masculinity is toxic and also, which still blows my mind, a quarter of them, Gen Z grew up without a father present. They didn't have a father. Only it's up nine, it's up from just 9% in 1960. They've had less male guidance and direction than any other group of men in American history. and this even includes the boys born after World War II. So now you can kind of see how some of this, all the ingredients in this perfect storm of insanity

has come to be. And there are concerns about some of the stuff that they're seeing as it relates to, you know, the workplace and being able to buy a house and being persecuted by third and fourth wave feminists are accurate, but not everything is. They are searching for a cudgel to beat back the person. forces of persecution in society. And they think going along with this, like Fuentes, who I think is being leveraged by, you know, some pretty shadowy forces, they think that going after and going with that ideology is the way to do it.

Now, it's one thing to disagree on facts. It's another thing entirely to make up something out of the ether and call it a fact and use that as worthy as a fact in which to enter a debate. that's not what the USS Liberty was. I want to do a quick explainer. And there's several good ones out. The folks who do the watches over at, what is it, Watson had a good one as well.

But the USS Liberty, when it was in the Mediterranean, and this was, gosh, I mean, this was back in what, the late 60s, or this was like in 1967. This was two days after the Six-Day War. And that's after Israel got attacked by literally every Arab nation there, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, like all of the, all of the nations that lived around it, all simultaneously attacked. So there was a ship that was in the Mediterranean that had been mistaken as an enemy Egyptian ship. And before the war, before the war started, actually, the USS Liberty

was in the, they were in the Mediterranean. They were ordered to proceed to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. And they were doing a signal. intelligent collection. They were in international waters. They were near the coast of Sinai. And they were initially given this an allowable, closest point of approach. CPA is what they call it. And it was about 13 nautical miles from Egypt. And long story short, they had ineffective messaging handling and routing. A lot of the messaging, because when the war began, there were messages that were sent increasing the distance to stay back, like, you know, 20 nautical miles and 15 nautical miles and then 100 nautical miles. But they never got those messages until after the attack. So they

never received those messages. So the USS Liberty didn't get any of the messages warning it to not go closer. Now remember, they were already on current orders that they were allowed to go and do this signals intelligence collection. So it wasn't until after the attack, that they got the orders to stay away. So they were doing what they were told to do. And they ended up sailing literally right in the middle of a war. That's what happened. And it was, I mean, that's how it all started.

It was a domino effect of horrific mistakes. They got spotted by different Israeli aircraft. Israeli Central Coastal Command marked them on their control table. But because Liberty was moving still, again, they were on orders and weren't getting the message. to counter the orders, they weren't receiving those messages. And they got closer and closer and closer. So then they got 20 nautical miles from cyanide. Now, this was after they were told to get 100 nautical miles away, but they hadn't received that message. And the movement of the vessel, going hours without being cited, they took it off of that control board. And because they

were, that information of the ship's location was considered out of date. Well, then there was was shelling that was happening from the sea. They had Egyptian forces that were exploding munitions. You had Israeli torpedo boats out there. They were dispatched. And then they had all these reports that were sent back about the USS. Multiple reports were sent back about the liberty, but it wasn't identified as the U.S. vessel at that time. So there were other vessels that were all going through at the same time. And so they think that there was a lot of, nobody could differentiate at that moment. I mean, you're literally in the middle of a war. So then Israeli forces thought that the liberty may have been an Egyptian destroyer. And so they had two Mirage three fighter jets.

They were given permission to engage. And they went and they strafed the ship. And there was like 75 wounded, eight fatalities. Now, here's the thing. That strafing totally knocked down all the antennas, killed all communication, that any communication that they could have gotten. And it not down the flag. So on site, you can't tell what ship it is. You can't tell what it's, what ship, what the identification of the ship. You're not, you can't communicate and you can't see by sight the identity of the ship. You don't know whose it is. So apparently there was like an hour and a half after they had several more attacks in the air and sea. Liberty was significantly damaged. And then after like, I mean, after all this damage, they, they, they, it was positively identified

as the USS Liberty. So this was like two. hours after the attack had started. And then the moment that it was found out that that was a U.S. ship, Israel immediately informed the embassy that's in Tel Aviv that they had mistaken it for an Egyptian destroyer and that they now realized that it was a U.S. naval vessel. And so the torpedo boats that had been involved in the attack, they returned to help. And they were refused. and then there was a chopper that Israel provided to get the, it was the U.S. naval attache, Ernest Carl Castle, Commander Castle, to the liberty. Then they already had the Israeli Prime Minister at the time and the foreign minister.

They were immediately in communication with President Johnson, LBJ at the time. They were apologizing. They said that they said they would financially compensate everybody and their families. They would help with everything. and it was a friendly fire. They had mistaken it for an Egyptian destroyer. And then it came out that none of the messages to actually reverse course

and stay further away from the coast were received by the USS Liberty. And this is not the first time something like this has happened in warfare. There's tons of this. There's a lot of times that this has happened. And there have been, a lot of people said, well, you know, it looked intentional

and, you know, it felt intentional. and they can have opinions on that. I mean, you know, if you're shot at, friendly fire or not, yeah, it's going to seem pretty damn intentional, right? It's going to seem pretty intentional. But the idea that it was a purposeful attack, the facts just simply do not, none of the facts, or any of the communication actually supports it, not a single bit of it. And like I said, you know, friendly fire, Operation Desert Storm, there was a friendly

fire incident. And when you had 35 Americans killed, nine British killed, 72 Americans. 22 wounded. That was one where we also had one where a U.S. A-10 fired on British armored vehicles. I mean, this has happened. It's happened during World War II. It's happened during the Gulf War. It's happened in Normandy.

There are instances, this is a horrific aspect, a consequence of war, is that these things can happen and do happen. And that's why everybody, like me, always says war is supposed to be a last resort. But, you know, the idea, look, if you're going to disagree on something, disagree on fact. Don't be like the left. Disagree on fact. Disagree on concrete. Because if you're not, then A, where are you getting your information? And B, what is the purpose that someone has of giving you bad information? You know, I question some of this stuff. You know, even some people on the right who put information out there. Why would anybody want to give you bad information unless it's to manipulate you so that you can be used to amplify something that you would not

amplify if you knew the full, you had the full facts at hand, if you knew the story. I mean, gosh, this is like the same thing with the Russian collusion stuff on the left. There were some people in the middle that were like, oh, I don't know. It seems, look at these reporters reporting this stuff. Well, guess what these people didn't know. They didn't know that the reporters were being financed by the DNC in the Clinton campaign. They didn't know that these reporters were getting oppo research that was so discredited that the FBI, the left-leafing, the left-leming heads that the FBI wouldn't even, they wouldn't even validate it because they were worried that their next would be on the chopping block. They didn't want to validate it. They didn't know they were working

with someone who literally was colluding with the Kremlin to try to get this dossier going. These people reading these pieces didn't know that. They didn't know that you had reporters that were laundering oppo research so that they could get an unconstitutional surveillance warrant on somebody. They didn't know that? So that's what I'm saying. A lot of the people that believe this stuff, they're not, I don't believe all of them are bad. I think a lot of them are being fed lies so that they can be used. And you must all, this is why you have to question everything. Because yes, it is true that we live in the greatest age of information ever. But it is also true that a consequence of that means it is easier than ever to fool somebody. So you have due diligence in making sure that

sure that the information that you are receiving is accurate. So people, like I said, this is one example. I talked earlier about the APEC thing. You know, if people want to disagree with APEC, fine, but it's literally a federal law that it can't be foreign. The way that their tax structure exists, people are like, well, why don't they register with FARA, a foreign agent's registration act? Because it's entirely an American group of American, all their, every bit of it's American, and it's all American dollars. They would all be, they would get prison sentences.

That's a consequence of breaking that federal campaign finance law. That's how serious it gets. Major fines and potential prison sentence. I mean, we've seen this happen before. So we've got to be really careful in what we're believing. If it's really about truth and it's really about saving the country, then it really needs to be predicated upon truth. We have a lot more on the way.

We're rolling towards headlines. And as we do so, the folks who make it happen, it's the folks over at Super Beats. The Super Beats, folks, Human is what makes their story different is where it began. Human was founded out of the UT Health Science Center built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. Unlike other supplement brands, human is science-born, not just science-ish. Their products work and you can feel them working. UT athletes have used Superbeats for over a decade calling it their cheat code for recovery and endurance. And you can use it for the same reason to support healthy blood pressure and circulation.

More than 160 college and pro teams use human products. Your favorite team probably does too. And if you've seen the human logo on the Longhorns field this football season, that's more than a sponsorship, it's a signal from human and UT leading the future of cardiovascular health for athletes and for everyone. You can pick up Superbeats, human products at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health and improved circulation today. Get on the road to better health with Superbeats from human. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

All right. I don't know what is happening with this. This is the craziest stuff. So we always have laughed about the Labooboos. I feel dumb even saying that word. Laboooooo. Now Starbucks speaks out. because they've had the bear.

It's supposed to be a play on the word barista. Bearista cold cups. And it's basically like a dirty bear. Isn't that what it is? Is it a clear bear? Why does it look dirty? Because they put stuff in it. Oh, I was like, why is this little bear look dirty?

It's a bear-shaped 20-ounce tumbler. It sold out instantly. People were literally lining up at 3 a.m. to get this thing because they have no lives, apparently. If you're one of those people, question you, why. But they, it comes clear, includes a lid attached to a straw,

blah, blah, blah. They, it sold out and there were people literally fighting each other. They were fighting each other in line for a plastic bear cup, like toddlers. One store apparently only got one bear cup

and everyone, like someone said on Reddit, I waited hours before opening to get the barista cup. What wrong with you? It's a cup. You know, you can probably, it's probably made in China. That means you could find another one like it on Amazon probably made in China.

Stop it. Stop doing stupid things. They were fighting. They were literally fighting each other over this. I don't, I don't know, man. I don't know. A peanut butter covered man raises allergy concerns

at Purdue. Yeah, why is the only concern? that it's peanut butter and not that he smeared his entire body in it. Apparently, they don't know what, but they, a peanut, a guy was covered in peanut butter from head to toe walking around campus. They had to, cleaning crews had to sanitize surfaces coated in peanut butter. They don't even know if it was a hate, they don't know anything about it. They don't even know if he's a student there. I just, wow, okay, Farmer's Almanac is going to shut down after more than 200 years in operation. I have no idea what Nana's going to do. What is Nana going to do? Because Nana loves her,

some Farmers Almanac. Stop it. I'm telling you. Really? What do you use it for? The last one I had, though, was like 2015. I think 2016 was the last time I actually bought the book. Yeah.

But it does have, it's got some patterns in there that. For those who don't know, weather predictions, gardening, astronomy, advice, all of that kind of stuff. And my mom is always like, well, you know the Farmers Almanac said. Nana's always like, Farmer's Almanac said, I'm just saying. So I don't know what she's going to do. She's going to have to, like, go to Rooms or something or just, you know, get a Thermometer.

Percimen seeds. Yeah, she's one of those too. She does a persimine seeds. Yep, excellent. An emu named Frank was captured after two days on the loose in Arizona. Man, we almost had an emu war part two. Google that for Australia. Yeah, Frank the emu.

They finally captured him. He was running around in Cottonwood all crazy. They got him. Frank the emu. I love their attitude, but I would never want one because they are apparently sassy.

So is that an area where you agree with them? We don't need a procedural fix at this point. So do you wanted the filibuster to be ended when Biden was president, but now, no? You know, I'm not in the Senate, so I've got no say in that. Ooh, filibuster. I'm not in the Senate, so I don't know. I don't have an opinion. He did, though.

Yeah, but he has, though. We've played the video where he's had tons of opinions. But now, oh, that was Jamie Raskin, by the way, who was being called to account for that. joining me right now from the beautiful Republic of Texas. Congressman Brandon Gill of representing Texas's 26th district and full disclosure. I mean, our district. That's what it is. So he joins us now via video. Congressman, it's good to see you. So I just, I was kind of interested in your thoughts on, on Raskins response here. And how are Democrats, because they, they keep voting no. So it doesn't matter that he's in the Senate. That's his party. They own this. Your thoughts. Well, thanks for having me. It's good to be with you. You're exactly right there. I mean, Republicans have voted 13 times to fund air traffic controllers and TSA agents and every other government program and Democrats have held this up. Why? Because they want health care for illegal aliens. They want to refund NPR and PBS. They want to give money to various left-wing social programs

all over the globe. I mean, we've gone over this so many times in the American people can see where we're at. Now Democrats are stuck with. their foot in their mouth here because you know for so long for the past probably decade or so they've been the ones talking about abolishing the filibuster and implementing massive structural changes to the way Washington works in order to get a far left agenda passed that the American people don't want and now whenever Republicans are saying and I'm not necessarily advocating to abolish the filibuster I do agree with him in the sense that's a Senate question now whenever the question is turned back on them they're backing away I think it's hilarious it is

is hilarious. And of course, it feels like they're really adding the pressure on because, as you know, you saw it with all the airport delays and the cancellations and they're really going to try to say, look what Republicans are doing. You're not going to be able to fly home to see Grandma for Thanksgiving because those dirty Republicans, they just, they keep not, they keep passing the CR that we voted for and we keep voting no. I don't think that that, I know a lot of people are trying to blame, you know, the election that just happened this week and some of that on this. I actually think it's unrelated. I think it's completely unrelated from this. And I wanted to kind of get your thoughts.

Tell me Republicans aren't going to cave on that, number one. But number two, do you think that Democrats are going to alter course now that were post-election? How do you think they're strategizing this? Well, first of all, you're right. We can't cave on this. Listen, if we caved and we said, listen, we're going to reopen the

government, we're going to give you everything you wanted. Not only is that bad policy, it's increasing the debt by $1.5 trillion dollars as part of a short-term CR and funding all these programs, which the American people don't want their tax dollars going to pay for. But it would send the message to Democrats that even when Republicans are in power, after we win elections and get control of all three, the House, the Senate, and the presidency, all you have to do is shut the government down and will give you whatever you want. And the reality is we can't negotiate in a hostage situation. We're not going

to tell Democrats that you can act like petulant children and then get whatever bizarre policy wins that you want. We're just not going to do that. So no, we're not going to cave. And listen, I think most Republicans, the vast majority of Republicans are unified on that, that we can't cave. And realize that what the Democrats are asking for here is crazy. I don't think, you know, I'm skeptical that the past election cycle, you know, whether it's in Virginia or New York or wherever else, was related to the government shutdown. You know, there probably was some impact in Virginia. You know, that's a state that is heavily tied to, has a lot of federal workers.

It's right next to Washington, D.C., but I certainly wouldn't attribute what happened in California or New York to a government shutdown. Exactly. Or like the school boards in Wichita, Kansas. I don't think that's related to the shutdown. We're talking to Congressman Brandon Gill, who also filed articles of impeachment against that crazy Obama appointed judge. I'm trying to, I mean, for all of the discussion that the, that, that, that, let, you know, left-leaning members of the judiciary have against the powers of the executive, which he's acting well within his scope, in my non-lawyerly opinion. What I don't get is the overreach by

this judge, like the Arctic Frost, I mean, the fact that he was part of that investigation, he signed off on all of those non-disclosure orders, and we're still learning how deeply that persecution, that's a witch hunt, how deeply that went. You said that you think he's guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. I think he is, too. I don't see. how this guy still, I don't see how he can avoid this. No, and remember this is, this is the Arctic Frost investigation that was started under the FBI. It got a special prosecutor later on in Morpon and became just kind of the doors blew open. But this was the same investigation that raided Mara Lago that surveilled Representative Scott Perry outside of his house and then seized his phone, that sees President

Trump's phone, Vice President Pence's phone. I mean, this, and then once it became a specific special investigation, then you see subpoenas to over 400 different Republican targets, Republican advocacy groups, and including sitting United States senators, and this judge facilitated large portions of that. You know, the interesting thing about this is that the information that we have on Arctic frost is coming from whistleblowers. It's not even coming from the agents at the FBI themselves, and Cash Patel has been doing a phenomenal job at the FBI. That's not a comment on him. But it's a reality that we don't actually know the extent of the corruption and weaponization of government under the Biden regime. We're still learning more and more. And one of the big pieces that we found out is not only

was the FBI actually monitoring phone logs and data for sitting U.S. senators, but this judge signed off on non-disclosure orders demanding that the carriers not tell those senators while they are in office executing their constitutional duty to represent their people, not tell them that their data was being monitored. That is insane. That is a gross violation. I didn't understand his reasoning on that. He kept saying that it's because it was a national security issue. How does he get that? This is all related to 2020. No, you're exactly right. You know, he talked about Ted Cruz specifically. You know, he signed this nondisclosure order to make sure that Ted Cruz didn't know that his data was being monitored. And the reasoning that he gave was that Ted Cruz, if he did

know this, would obstruct justice. He would tamper with evidence and he would intimidate witnesses. And the judge said, didn't say, I think he will do that. He said, Ted Cruz will obstruct justice. He had no basis whatsoever for making that claim of somebody who, by the way, wasn't, you know, wasn't an election denier necessarily. You know, this is just so far beyond the pale. You know, which it's really difficult to comprehend that our own federal government was spying on sitting U.S. senators and not telling them. That is insane. And remember, if they can do it to a sitting U.S. Senator, they can do it to the president. They can do it to anybody. And they certainly will. And they will if they can do this and get away with it.

And that's terrifying. This is, I mean, going back to the Russian collusion stuff, where you had the DNC and the Clinton campaign that were working to launder, you know, discredited oppo through Fusion GPS. which I don't know why they're not registered under Farah because they were out there lobbying for these Russian oligarchs against that Magnitsky Act. And then taking that to FISA, bypassing all of the standard operating procedure there to get surveillance warrants. I mean, I seriously think that there's probably a ton more because this is just what you've all been able to uncover just the few months already that you, that Republicans have had that been pulling the levers of power and had the authority to do so. I mean, I'm sure that there's probably other stuff that you guys can't even bring to public yet because you're still, you know, investigating it. until, I mean, I'm not asking you to give any, show us any cards. But honestly, I wouldn't be

surprised if, you know, they were out there watching everybody who, you know, people who were members of Republican outreach or, you know, pro-life outreach or anything. I mean, this is gone, they've gone after Catholics. They've gone after school board parents. I mean, where, where does it end? And it doesn't seem like there's been any accountability. But this might be the first time we get it. So my question then is, how likely is this impeachment? I mean, I don't know what all we have to expect from Democrats, but we've got to have some accountability on this. We do. And, you know, again, if we don't have accountability here, it's hard to imagine where you're going to see it. You know, I filed articles of impeachment against Judge Bowsberg back in March for ordering the president to turn a plane full of Trindy, Iraqah terrorists around and deposit them back in the United States.

I think that was a gross abuse of his power and a weaponization and politicization. of the courts and that's that's a separate issue i think that that warrants uh impeachment as well yes but this is the judge basically taking his robe off and operating as if he's an arm of the democrat party to investigate uh the political opposition and part of a mass massive fishing expedition that and you're you're exactly right we don't know the extent of this right now this is an active investigation that the senate judiciary committee is working on right now so they're still getting more documents and more data from the FBI and the CIA and from whistleblowers as we speak and going through that. And there's a lot of information. So I suspect that over time, as we get

more and more, we will find out that Judge Boasberg in particular was involved in far more than just these non-disclosure orders, which in themselves merit impeachment. But I think this really is just the tip of the iceberg. And I hope, and thank heavens for those whistleblowers. I'm so grateful for them. And I'm wondering, too, if they were being targeted, you know, punitively for speaking out in the way that the whistleblowers within the FBI were. No, I completely agree. These are heroes. These are people who worked at these agencies saw something is wrong and are now reporting it so that we can have accountability realizing that you cannot have a constitutional republic in an environment where judges are signing off on executive agencies spying on their political

opposition, including sitting representatives. So these people really are heroes. Last question for you, because you've talked quite a bit about this, New York City is not going to be the same. I wonder if these people there, Congressman, are going to have a wake-up call once you have Mamdani, now that I can't believe he's now the mayor-elect, once he starts implementing, you know, his wish list of free things for everybody, I'm wondering if they're going to have regret, buyer's remorse or voters' remorse here. I mean, people are already fleeing, but how far are they willing to take? How far are they willing to go with this, the support of insanity? You know, I hope that they do wake up and realize that this was a very bad decision.

To elect a literal Islamist communist to be mayor. But, you know, New York City is a very different city than it was 20, 30, 40 years ago, where you saw the pendulum swing from the left to the right under Rudy Giuliani, for instance. You know, this is a city that is between 36 and 38 percent foreign born. And, you know, the reality is there's not a whole lot. of assimilation happening in New York City right now. It's very, you know, walk down any street in New York, and that's very clear. You know, Democrats like to brag that this is a city where you have 100 different languages spoken, as if that's a positive thing. You know, I, myself, I would prefer to be

able to communicate with my neighbor. I think that that's a core part of having a cohesive culture in society. But this is just a very different city. It looks in many areas more like a foreign city than it does an American city. So I hope they wake up, but I got to say I'm not particularly, not particularly optimistic. You're there in D.C. every day. Is this really who Democrats are now, Mandani and AOC? There seems to be a lot of debate. You know, you have people like Raskin and Schumer and others who say, no, no, no, that's not accurate. Hakeem Jeffries even. But it seems like it is. Well, I mean, Hakeem Jeffries endorsed Soar on Mom Doni. So I'd like to like to hear him explain that. You know, remember that the mayoral race in New York was not a race between a conservative and a communist or a Democrat.

It was a race between a far-left Democrat and a literal communist. So you know whoever won was it was going to be bad. It was just a question of how bad. This was really a bellwether, I think, election to see where the Democrat party is. This was basically a Democrat primary and they chose the communist. So I hope that the rest of the Democrats across the country see how bad things are and how bad they're going to get and that this is this is utterly insane but that this appears to be the direction the party is going unfortunately i hope they bring that judge bozberg before you during another

hearing because i just would like to have a bunch of audio sound bites a bunch of video cuts where you're questioning him and holding up like well but you did hear i would love to see that so i'm keeping my fingers crossed and i'm going to include that in my prayers tonight congressman brandon gill always a pleasure thank you so much for joining us would love to see you again doing a great job thank you Thanks for having me. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this third hour of our broadcast, and we're capitalists, and we don't charge you a subscription fee because of these awesome people that make it happen.

And, of course, you know, we're talking about the folks over at Keltek. You guys are very familiar with Keltek, Florida-based company. They have a peacekeepers program that they're doing. It supports people who protect our communities, military, and law enforcement, ensure security teams and school resource officers, faith-based teams. and SROs often rely on small concealable pistols that have limited range in power. So Keltek is offering long guns to solve that problem, folding compact for discrete carry and deploying in seconds with full rifle capability. Their participants also get mission ready support like extra platform testing,

armor or training, and direct peacekeepers pricing for those budget conscious organizations. It's already active, the program, so they've equipped over a dozen, a couple dozen churches throughout the Faith-based Security Network in every Brevard County School, and they're working with the Faith-Based Security Network, giving members access to all of this training, security insights, and mission-ready tools that are tailored to those faith environments.

The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically in this political climate, like, white people shouldn't joke about

genetic superiority. Like, that was kind of like the criticism, broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this, I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically. I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about,

people will hear. I loved her. answer. She was not taking the bait on this. I loved it. That was Sidney Sweeney, who I think is becoming quickly a favorite of people who just have brain cells and are tired of all of the the woke scolds out there. You know why? It's so refreshing because Gen Z women, the left wing skew is insane. Insane. In all of the races, Cheryl, Jones, Spanberger, Mandani, it was white progressive women that led it. And they're all, I mean, the youth vote for that was insane.

More than the men. So when you see someone like Sidney Sweeney, who is of that generation, it is so incredibly refreshing because who else do you have out there in pop culture? She is legit like the only Gen Z non-woke-scold female that is in arts and entertainment right now. I mean, yes, it's incredibly unfair. Why is it? Because they go after everyone else. And she's so smart. She doesn't, she's very savvy in how she does it. And they hate her because she's pretty. They hate her because she's smart. And they hate her because she knows how to pick good rules. And they hate her because she doesn't take the bait. She just does not take it. How many

times have they come at her over over this? They got mad at her because somebody was wearing a red hat when her mom, her family had a celebration. What was it? A mom got married or dad's where I can't remember. And they went after her for that. So kudos. All right. Today's stupidity cane. There's so much of it. Just let people know. It's, it's work to decide the stupid we roll with. You do the heavy lifting. It's true. Cut 21. This is Democrat rep. Is it Pramala? But it's Jayapal. And she doesn't believe crime is crime. Listen to this. And it has included people who have been here for 15, 20 years living, contributing in their communities. They have relationships across their communities.

They're undocumented, but they have no other crime. And as you know, being undocumented is actually not a crime. That means you came into the country illegally if you don't have the documentations. Which makes it a crime. Oh, my gosh. Folks, that is it for this week. By the way, when the debate link becomes available, I'll share it. In the meantime, find us over at Substack Chapter and Verse.
