I love the bird sounds I love the bird sounds as they're looking for these springful with the signs So the White House White House has placed a bunch of... How many were out there did they have? Do they give a count? Was it 100?

It kind of looked like more than 100, if I'm being honest, but they had a hundred or so of these signs, and they're just like yard signs, but they're a little different than just basic yard signs. There are signs that feature criminal

illegal aliens on them. These are people that the came in illegally and kept committing crimes on top of it and all in I've never seen something like this in the White House's lawn though it's all in the White House lawn they all put it all around the White House and so when the press when the press all goes when they all go to the White House guess what they get to walk past that they get to walk past all of that they get to see all of that well they do all their hits and that's the backdrop yeah so in their hits they have to show these illegal immigrants. They have to show

all of that in the back all of the, I mean, and they also list, so what you're seeing if you're watching the simulcast is the lawn. I can't, I don't know exactly which one. It's the lawn of the White House. And they've got all of

these yard signs out. And the yard signs are all about every one of these criminal illegal aliens. And at least, homicide or rape or gosh some of these are horrible murder there's like a ton of murder a ton of murder and rape that we that we see on there and those are the people those are the signs that they have and it's stunning like a sexual assault of a child and that's all on these these lawn signs

that Juan is showing you so as Kane noted now imagine you know like you because that's where they go when they enter that's you know where they they where they enter the press goes through and so when they're doing their hits they have their satellite trucks outside and then they have the the uh uh reporters go in and they have these that's those are their hits or that's where they do all their hits and they're all in the background as k noted very interesting indeed welcome to the show dana lash with you we are at the top of this very first hour here and this, we've already, we're in the first 100 days of the Trump presidency. And the media, I really think is just trying to, well, I've got a slew of competing headlines. And my top two, I think, are the most representative of this. So just case and point. So Trump's done more than 100 days than Biden did in four years. Okay, that's one. And then an unpopular president continues to push radical changes caned. It's crazy. What would you mean radical changes?

Can you believe he's adhering to the law? I mean, what? It's like the stuff that we're dealing with. Let's look at that one first, because that's a fun one. It comes from MSN, garbage. And it also ran over at WAPO. They're saying that he's an unpopular president pushing radical changes. And now, wait a minute here.

What? I know, right? That's what they're trying to say. They said that, well, they acknowledge that there's a competing narrative. Now, here's the thing. They have a poll from WAPO, ABC News, and Ipsos. I've only looked at ABC News, which was, it wasn't totally oversampled Democrat, but there were, I mean, if you wanted to pick NITs, there's, you know, there's like a few more Democrats. I've not looked at the other ones yet.

But they said, oh, as approval rating is down. Support from immigration policies deteriorating. Okay, that's just a, that's, oh, wow, that's just so false. So false, Kane. So false, right? Well, and it's the media. And they're trying to go, they're trying to do this thing where they're trying to argue that, well, you know, it's, Trump is just like, just sending people into countries that, you know, just randomly deporting basic Americas. This is the way that they put it. When they, when they present these questions to the people that they're surveying, and keep in mind, these are phone surveys. Okay.

Who even has a late? I mean, how many of it is cell phone anyway? How much of it is cell phone? How many of them are like me? Because I will answer if I think you're a survey. And if I answer it and you ask me, if you ask me a leading question, I will melt you. And then they hang up on me because I'm just done. Done with the stupid questions, these push questions that they ask. Now, the economy, I don't like saying this. But that's where they got it. Now, keep in, let's, we'll hold up. Let's lay this out here on the line. So the immigration, a lot of this, actually, when you look at other surveys, that's why these are kind of outliers. And it's the structure by which they ask these questions. Like, do you think that, like if somebody calls you and says, well, POTUS is deporting random Americans to notorious South American jails or Central American jails. What do you think of that? And I mean, if you're just going off that question alone, you're like, wow, that's pretty bad. If you don't know anything about it, now you got to remember, the average person does not follow along with those like you and I do. So when you present a question like that to them, they're just going off of that, right? So I can't, you can't fault them because they're being lied to. But now, the economy, that's different.

The economy, we knew this was going to happen, and I told you this was going to happen. And this is part of the bumpy ride. it's part of this is why congress has to work really really fast otherwise he's going to start tank him because all of his success is dependent upon all of that again broken record however i'm right this the feeling of double taxation is a very real thing and making sure that we're getting all of these trade deals cemented is so astronomically important and so on that end right now it's a bumpy right people are asking what they think about the economy and it doesn't help that you got all these competing narratives out there about tariffs in the history of tariffs and how

they're being leveraged here and I will say and this is where it gets sticky part of what he because he has such an active role in this he's not just letting the secretary of the treasury lead he has such an active role on this, that it's, he's incredibly more involved. And I think that he needs to, I still think that he needs to continually go out there and tell people follow me. This is why he voted me. It's going to voted for me. It's going to be sticky right here. But they are making a decision in these polls that are predicated upon what's happening right now. They're not looking at the bigger picture. So it can be misleading, especially when you look at the way that some of the questions are asked. But the economy is where it's bumpy. And they feel this double taxation. Like

I said, Congress has to make this stuff permanent and it's got to get done or that number's going to get worse. And then it will bleed over into everything else. Because if people are dissatisfied economically, they're going to look and see, well, where else in my life am I dissatisfied? It's how they're going to, that's how it's going to work. We're going to come back to this. Did you guys watch the sit-in that Democrats had? Democrats were so busy over the weekend game. they sat on the steps of congress did you guys uh see any of this stuff we uh they had jeffreys booker corey booker hakeem jeffreys they were on the capital steps and they live streamed they sat how long do they sit there

forever they uh live streamed a quote conversation with the american people to focus on our common well gosh it's already too long common values blah blah blah they said and they they sat there for i don't know They were there Sunday morning that the members of Congress were there all weekend. They were trying to, I don't know why. The only thing that I can think of

is they were trying to generate energy against the budget bill that they're fighting over. I'm not quite sure. It seems the most accurate came. But they were out there. And it was kind of,

wasn't it warm a little bit in D.C. this weekend? They're in like long black sleeve t-shirts. And it's not because they're like me in a retired goth. It's because, I don't know why, but I'm just sitting here like, you're going to be sweaty and smelling and you're sitting there on the steps in full sun doing what? Live streaming. How many people even watch that live stream?

Good night. Yeah, they were live streaming it. They had, I mean, it's all virtue signaling. I couldn't, I watched approximately one minute and 20 seconds, some odd seconds of it. I was done. I'm like, nope, I don't get paid. And I'm sorry. There's no one in the world could ever.

give anybody else enough money to actually sit of their own volition to watch this not not there but they I don't I to me it seemed kind of it was a goofy and they did it they did it on Sunday morning and if you're trying to reach younger voters and well anybody Sunday morning is like the worst time to do that everybody's either going to church or they're sleeping in that's all they're doing they're not going to sit they're not going to get up and watch because they think that you know whatever you're going to say is so incredibly important that it was just it was silly they democrats are so incredibly unpopular and that's what the media is really trying to patch up by focusing on a lot of the first hundred day stuff the democrats are so incredibly unpopular and there is a bigger

uh chasm on the left between their factions than there is on the right like the right You know, they'll kind of grit their teeth and go along with it so that they can get their 80, 20 objectives, right? Democrats, though, not at all. And they're arguing with each other. They're, the leadership doesn't agree with the foot soldiers. Foot soldiers don't even agree with each other. It's, I don't know who's driving the ship. It's a mess. But I think it's playing into their hands. And I talked a little bit about that last week. So you want to hear my tinfoil hat theory? I feel like they're trying to make it look like. like they are as chaotic and undisciplined as possible. And I really, I feel like they want to

demoralize their voters so that they can then do a hurt rescue and then come in in 28 with this glorious candidate who's going to bring order to the masses and they're all going to go for it, hookland and sinker. It's going to be a total Hollywood rollout. Mark my words right now. Mark this moment because that's what's going to happen. And I feel like it's all stagecraft. They're letting it get low so they can bring it back because what do people like a comeback story they love that they love rallying for what they think is the underdog democrats have not been the underdog in a long time they forgot how to use that so i feel like this is all on purpose that's me that's my tinfoil hat theory so uh we got a whole bunch of other stuff too including this this stupid story so i

so first off i watched um all the elected officials went to rome and they went to to the Pope's funeral. Some of the photos that came out of there were extraordinary. One of my favorites was, well, in the video clip, too, is when Trump was going to sit down and talk to Zelensky, Vladimir Zelensky, and Emmanuel Macron was coming up. Like, he was like, hey, guys, I'm also going to get in Zy Conversation, huh? And he comes up to the side, and Trump was like, he wouldn't even shake his hand. There's Macron, Juan's showing you now. And then up, no, no, Trump's like, no, I'm not touching your hand. But also, sit the hell down.

because I'm going to talk to this guy. See, there's two seats and I had him remove the third one. You go away now. I'm going to sit down. And then they sat down and talked. That was fascinating. Kier Starrmer and Emmanuel Macron did not want Trump to sit and talk to Zelensky one-on-one. They did not want that to happen. We're going to talk more about that coming up. We also have Stephen Yates on. And I'm going to have Stephen Yates react to that. I'm sure you've seen it react to that clip as well. So we have a lot to get into, including the latest with immigration. The dude who stole Christy Noam's bag, and it was a Gucci bag. Are you letting that out of your sight, girl?

Oh, if you wondered about their legal status, well, guess what? They weren't. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs' research, the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take action and why I've bought precious metals like gold and silver. I partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco. They're a huge supporter of this show,

and they're the best at what they do. And right now, you can get a free 2025 golden silver kit jam-packed with critical information about buying precious metals. It was a huge help, not just for me, but to all of you, if you do this. And for my audience, you could also qualify for up to a 10% instant match in bonus silver. It's a really great deal. So don't miss out. visit dana likesgold.com to learn more. That's dana likesgold.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. All right. So Canada, they're considering their future right now. I've been reading a couple of pieces about this. But this, I don't know if they're going to go for liberal Mark Carney or not. But it's conservatives like Pierre Polivir against Mark Carney.

Pierre Polivir follows me on X. So for that reason alone, I love. like him. And also because he's funny. But we'll ask Stephen Yates about this coming up. But it's a big choice for Canada. Cardi's leading in the polls, though. I know, however much you want to, uh, more Americans are

financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans, and more people are paying those bills late. I'm going to tell you, Republicans in Congress need to act. Because this is a lending tree survey. They found 25% buy now, pay later users. Those are groceries.

that's groceries it's up from 14% in 2024 this just made my heart fall to the floor it's groceries come on guys the hell is happening in dc get it together this is sickening yeah this is groceries people are are by now paying later so that they can eat the biden policies had consequences yeah Biden policies and we could fix this really quickly if we just were able to get this budget bill and get all this stuff done and make this stuff permanent it's killing me uh Americans are flashbacks to 2008. Tariffs are stoking recession fears. This is not a new headline that was always going to be part of the examination of this strategy. But it's a horrible story from CNBC that buries the lead five graphs in. And if I was working at CNBC, I would fire the editor that allowed

that story to run and the journalists that wrote it because AI could do better. Let's see. Street Party horror SUV plows into a huge crowd and kills nine revelers in Vancouver. The suspect 30, Known to police. Oh, I'm so shocked. Nine people killed. Nine people. They said the 30-year-old man was known to police. He was taken into custody before he was arrested at the scene. He was trying to flee as well. We have a lot more on the way, including the media. 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelly lost his mind on air. We'll play it. What does living better mean to you?

I hope you all are having a really good week kicking it off if you're listening

Terrestrially across the nation with old Duran Duran as we rolled in. All right. So I don't watch 60 minutes anymore. I did when I was a kid because my parents watched it. And that was usually my signal to start getting ready for bed is when I heard 60 minutes. because it was after dinner and then 60 minutes kicked in and it was always Sunday night you know you're going so I in my head whenever I hear this that clock I'm immediately like oh I got a and it doesn't matter where I am I'm like oh I got oh wait a minute I'm not a little teenage Dana anymore

so Scott I don't Scott Pelly when I was watching like in the mid to late 90s early odds he was kind of, he wasn't as large of a presence on 16 minutes as he is now. So he kind of, he was sort of like a sideline reporter. You know, I don't know how else to put it. Now, you know, he's, he's a, one of the marquee names that they have there. And this whole story, I've never seen, uh, I've never actually seen anybody get, do like a two minutes hate like this on TV. before and they're upset because of 60 minutes, or sorry, they're, they're, they're, uh, president. So if you don't know, we talked a little bit about this last week with regards to media. So Bill Owens, sorry, another president. I meant to say producer, the other P. He's a, an executive producer, Bill Owens is an executive producer at 60 minutes. He's been there for quite a long time.

And he quit last week because of what he said was a lack of editorial freedom. And they're blaming the Trump administration for it. The way that they are positioning it, they're acting as though the Trump administration is pushing him out because they don't like free speech. That's the way they put it. I think it was this memo that came out last week where Owens was blasting the administration. He says it's clear that I'm not allowed to run. The shows I always run it to make independent decisions based on what is right for 60 minutes. and that it ended up getting out, you know, he's, it is, it's a lawsuit that's happening right now over

that Kamala Harris interview. And that's what the Trump lawsuit's about. And he, when he, when he, all this happened like the beginning of last week. And it's obviously very far left. And the interview that is in question is the interview that they did with Kamala Harris in October leading up to the November election. And it was a, this actually is a correct way to describe it. I very rarely use this phrase, but this legitimately was deceptively edited. Remember the answers that she would give and there was, there was a release of her full answer compared to what aired on 60 minutes and it's night and day. One answer, she's meandering all over. She can't explain anything. She doesn't seem to demonstrate a grasp of the subject matter and then in the next minute they do these

weird jump cuts where they tried to make it less obvious but they literally cleaned up her answer for her and that's how is that not an in-kind donation really but anyway so owens wrote this memo because now this lawsuit i mean that's exactly what they're is what they're accusing him of right and so uh he's come under a lot of fire, this Bill Owens guy. He's come under a lot of fire because of this and this looming lawsuit. And they're blaming their malfeasance on the administration, which is crazy. And so he left as a result of all of that because he doesn't feel like he can do fake news anymore when people are calling out fake news. And that's ultimately what it is. Like, how dare I be corrected after doing

fake news? So Scott Pelly, again, going back to him, he went on this. rant against because Paramount now owns CBS. So he went on this rant against Paramount. We can't play the video even though it's a news show and it's absolute fair use because they'll make you fight it out in court and they'll say it's a copyright infringement. So unless you have endless oodles of money, we can only play for you the audio. But listen to Scott Peli. We'll have his tantrum on air. This is embarrassing. Stories we pursued for 57 years are often controversial. Lately, the Israel Gaza War and the Trump administration. Bill made sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough that way. But our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete

a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is happy about it. But in resigning, Bill proved one thing. He was the right person to lean 60 minutes

all along. Oh, for the love. Oh, he did such as great. That's how they're presenting this. Oh, he did this great thing. They had, I mean, they, the way that they edited that Kamala Harris interview was, I've never seen anything like that before,

actually. And I rarely ever get say stuff like that. And so he's mad because it's the absolute journalistic malpractice is making the merger. It's putting a wrinkle in things, so to speak, that and this lawsuit. And so he doesn't feel like he wouldn't, he wouldn't apologize for it because Trump sued. The lawsuit, I think, isn't it like something like $20 billion they sued CBS for? and the controlling shareholder of Paramount, Sherry Redstone, wants them to settle because she doesn't want to jeopardize the merger. CBS and Paramount Global, they're trying to, the mergers with Skydance media and they're trying to get all of this settled before this merger because they don't want the FCC, which is under the administration's control, to halt the transaction, which I don't think that they would, but this is just them trying to, they, they,

just don't want to be held accountable for fake news, for actual propaganda. That was propaganda. That wasn't a journalistic enterprise. And for this a crusty old bat to sit there on his little stool in front of his little green screen and talk about journalistic integrity, what he's doing is defending a guy who gave an in-kind campaign contribution to Kamala Harris just like, what, two weeks, not even two weeks, before the November election, they edited her nonsensical answer to make sense. That's why it looked so weird and it was jumpy and they had these weird like cutaways

because they were trying to hide from all of that. They, that was propaganda. They engaged in propaganda and then they're mad because they get called out for it. And they're mad because the propaganda, that's, that's an absolute, they were trying to tilt the scale. And when you get to public airwaves

that close to an election, you remember what the whole point was, they gave Kamala Harris all this time and attention. They finessed her interview answers and totally ignored Trump. You can't do that. That's against federal election. That's against campaign or federal law regulating campaigning.

The timer starts so many weeks before an election. And if you're on public airwaves, and because we know about it, because we broadcast on a lot of terrestrial, you know, hundreds of terrestrial stations around the country. And so we have to be aware of that. Like if we have one Republican candidate on, you know, a week before the election by law, we have to give equal time to a Democrat candidate. And so it's that equal time consideration that the Harris campaign is being accused and CBS being accused of violating. So thus the suit. And it's accurate. I mean, that's what they know they're going to

have to settle with him. It's accurate. But for Bill, for Scott, Pelley to do this. This is so lame. By the way, what in the world is going on with CBS? Can we talk about this Bill Belichick? I don't even follow football. I even know about this. Hey, living his best life. Stop it. So Bill Pelotichick sits down for this interview and it's a, their Sunday morning sports show. And he was asked about his relationship with this chick that's like, how much younger is she than him, Kane? She's not 50 years younger than him. Um, I think it's Is he 80?

Is she 30? He's in his 70s and she's 24, I think. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Okay. It's 50 years. Anyway, he was asked about the origin of their relationship and the girl, the, uh, girlfriend, air quotes, just barks off camera. We're not discussing that.

Can we play any of this or is this the same deal? Play some audio for you. Listen to this. Jordan was a constant presence during our interview. You have Jordan right over there. Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship. They've got an opinion about your private life. It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested in it.

How do you deal with that? I've never been too worried about what everybody else thinks. Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what's right. How did you guys meet? Not talking about this. No? No. It's a topic neither one of them.

them is comfortable commenting on it is so weird that was so because it's supposed to be like a sunday morning like ha ha you know like a great relaxed sports discussion okay can we put put up the photo of just him in his sweatshirt so kane thinks that she's a prostitute that he's just paying what is that what you just said that's he said that steve had said that that's the rumor that the rumor is that jordan hudson is a is a pay-for-play girl those aren't the words i used not verbatim but I mean come on that's what you use come on that's the rumor the rumors that she's a prostitute

and he's paying her that's the rumor now the only reason that I would give that any weight is I want you to look at how this man's dressed Bill Belichick goes on a national television show is it supposed to be derelict chic is it's a I mean

I guess it's stylized that way the neck is too loose or four shirts like that's a faded tattered sweatshirt It's comfy And I'm sure it was purchased that way You don't wear that on national television And no self-respecting female

Ladies, you know this is true And men you know your ladies No self-respecting female Is going to allow their man To go on national television Dress like that I would have stopped the interview And made him change

And then I would have said this interview Doesn't continue If you note what just happened and then allow him to do the interview it dressed in a nicer shirt to where he looks nice and confident and relaxed and doesn't look like a hobo that came from under a bridge

why I so that's why I'm like if I kind of am entertaining that rumor because of that alone I look three or four shirts like that it's just what I do the yard work in that's irrelevant

yard work is not sitting down doing a national interview pizza wings in no you can see a little bit of pizza wings sauce on his chair. Can you see that one? Can you pull it back out there? Because I think I saw a little pizza wing sauce on it. Look at that. Look at his opposite of his college. I don't know what it is. Why is he wearing it? Why is he wearing that? Because it looks like he's an abused old man. That's what it looks like. And I just, but if somebody rolled up in a news truck while I was doing yard work, that's how you'd see. No, you know, you know what you do. You'd go, well, hang on. I'm doing yard work.

Let me go get a button down on. That's what you'd say. No, I would. You would not. You would not. be like, oh, let me wipe off this wing sauce off my mouth and then sit down in your lawn. You're doing yard work shirt. If they rolled up on me and they want to put me on the news just like that, I'm not going to put a button on. Would you sit down and do a national interview? If someone was like, hey, DJ, fond uncle, we want to sit here and interview you. And would you show up in that kind of sweatshart? No, but the thing is, like, that's his brand.

He always wears tattered stuff. It's like his look. I don't know why. That's true, actually. Why? Stop it. Men. He's an everyday man.

Any man who thinks, look, it's fine if that's your day-to-day. But that's your day-to-day, and then you have what I call your show-up stuff, okay? When you got to show up, you got to have the clothes to show up in. And in your yard work sweatshirt, that ain't it. I'm just saying. But no, but so long story short, that's why I entertain Steve's rumor that he heard that she's a paid sidepiece.

We got some power here. Now, we said we were anchoring ourselves in the moral traditions. When we came out here over 10 hours ago, Hakeem and I said this is a bigger moment than politics. This is a moral moment in America

And we were going to sit here for a long time I didn't know we'd be sitting for 10 hours But it's 10 hours and we're still going And we got some great people here But the moral traditions are Hmm Wow Randy Weingarten was sitting right there with them

Interesting, you know Randy Weingarten, the big old teachers union head Steve was saying on break He's like, I don't think people realize How much power that woman has I mean she was the reason why Fauci and the CDC wanted to extend

school closures. She was wanting everything to shut down. And then she tried to retcon it afterwards. Not going to happen. But that's, and they didn't accomplish anything. It just looks that just, it's another stunt. And this just feeds into the view of, that Democrat

voters have of their own party of being completely ineffective. Like, what are they doing? And in the meantime, you've got Bernie Sanders out there, barnstorm and he sees a power vacuum and he's trying to shove Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into that power vacuum. He's he's trying to make her something. I don't ever think that she's actually going to like really win anything, but I think that he's trying to make her the next kingmaker at least for the socialist left after himself. It's very weird. The whole thing's very

weird. And then you've got Democrats out there now trying to ratchet it up, which we're going to jump into at the top of next hour. Remember when they tried to kill Trump, he got up and said, fight, fight, fight, and everyone said, oh my gosh, that's violent. That's a call to violence. Now you have people like J.B. Pritzker and everybody else out there are actually saying it's time to resist and let's get in the streets. We're going to play that for you when coming up in our second hour. Also, Joy Reid tried to play historian and it ended up horribly. We're going to have a little short history lesson on the fall of Rome. Stick with us. We get a lot more in store. It's our friends at home title lock. Look, your home is your most valuable asset. And you lock your car, you lock everything else. Why would you not lock down your home's title?

Usually people don't know. And

it's way too late. That's when the foreclosure notices start, collection calls start, and then you have to spend a lot of money on lawyers to prove that your home is actually your home.

Each community on Earth, if you take that away and try to distill us just down to white folks, we'll be like Europe, an aging, slowly dying, former empire. The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough strength in its diversity. It suppressed its diversity, and it died. If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you're voting, y'all. That's one of the most—not only is she a racist, but she is— an absolute Bimbo, too.

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. It's completely historically illiterate. And it's embarrassing that she felt that that was a okay thing to say and then put it out online. Ignoring the racial part of it, I think I'm more offended by this stupidity of what she just said than I am the racism that is within it. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. That's Joy Reed, who clearly Harvard is meaningless.

that's the kind of brain the brain trust that Harvard produces you have her and then you have what's his face that pig kid David Hogg those two are products of Harvard some of the dumbest people I've ever seen so first welcome back

if you're joining us by listening terrestrily or if you're watching the stream Channel 347 direct TV the chats at Rumble you can also find us at X and Facebook so I love history I am a major history buff and what are my favorite things is reading about ancient empires and love reading about ancient Rome. And I

watched, yes, I did watch the Hillsdale thing, the rise and fall of Rome. I've also been watching. I actually watched a thing last night that was about the construction of Roman roads and how all roads literally did lead to Rome. But more so to her point, she's saying that the U.S. isn't diverse enough and that's what is, and that lack of diversity is what killed Rome. That is historical nonsense, and here's why. In fact, it was too, you can, now, listen to me, it was too much. I don't mean that in the racial sense, because it comes down with having a shared identity. This is one of the ways that America learned from Rome's mistake, and our founders learned from Rome's mistake. Because at some point, there was admittance of, I mean, everybody

got Roman citizenship. Everybody had Roman citizenship. And I don't know, I don't know if people realize that the Roman emperor at the time, Caracalla, was the one who he, you know, that's the sacking happened on his watch. But every free person in the empire got citizenship. And previous emperors also did that. And at first it was looked at like it was Rome's strength, because they would conquer. And then incorporate. And that was really different in those times. They didn't just leave something conquered. And they didn't force them to adopt every single thing that they did within Rome, but they did incorporate it. They incorporated it, namely, so that they could say, okay, you're a conquered. You have to now give us X amount of foot soldiers. It's one of the

reasons why they had the biggest armies is because that was part of that incorporation. but there was never any diligence in in creating that singular identity everyone talks about a Roman identity but when we look in history it was kind of all over the place people wanted to consider themselves Roman but there has to be a shared loyalty a shared identity and that was just one of the things and that's like one part of it that went that went into it is that you know there was citizenship given to every single person. The overspending was crazy. The amount of spending was just, even on Caesar's time and before, was entirely irresponsible. And then you had a lot of instability because there was a lot of corruption. There was a lot of intrigue.

And the other thing, too, was you were losing a lot of traditional values. And, you know, the Eastern Empire was already starting its rise. And then you had the barbarians and you had the goths and you had no not like the cure goths but like you know the visigoths you had the goss and then you had the the hans that were all coming in so there were a lot of things that factored into it but i think one of the biggest was this strain on or an absence a strain caused by the absence of a shared identity is one of the things that played into it and the idea of being a roman and what that meant and being a member of that empire was diluted as a result of that. In the United States, it's one of the things that our founders did differently.

They didn't make a shared identity on a race or a religion or anything else, but it was about that animating spirit of liberty. So if you want to be free, then we are kinsmen. And that's how the founders set this up. And then the Roman Empire, they didn't even do that. They're just like, okay, you're here. You get a Roman citizenship. You get a Roman citizenship.

And the absence of a shared value led to an absence of cohesion. It led to instability. It led to a complete dearth of cultural values, the whole nine yards. And there was so much internal fighting as a result of that. Rome, by the time the goths came in and sacked it, Rome had already sacked itself. That was just the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. So everything that she's saying, it's literally actually the opposite of that, that created the fall of Rome. Now, in the United States, this is where this communist, this cultural warfare comes in.

You know, the critical race theory. Everybody says DEI. DEI is an offshoot of critical race theory, CRT, which is the, Frankfurt School of Marxism, right? It is an absolute Marxist theory. And I wrote about this 15 years ago when Andrew Breitbart was still alive and I was working with Andrew Breitbart. Derek Bell, who was a prominent academic. And he was at Harvard. He was kind of a mentor to Barack Obama. And I remember at the time we had this video of Barack Obama hugging Derek Bell. And I thought it was pretty significant. The media tried to, you know, bear it.

and act like it wasn't a significant thing, but we're like, there's an introduction of a new tactic here. It's critical race theory. It's been, it's been exploding on college campuses since the 60s, and here's how it's affecting you now. All of this stuff that you see now with DEI and wokeery all came from that. Every bit of it. It all came from CRT. And it started on American College campuses in the 60s. Derek Bell was a huge proponent of it. And that gets, into that that was a tactic to identify, isolate, and destroy their shared cultural values by turning everyone against each other based on intersectionality. So that's where all that comes in. Oh, if you're, if you have two women, if one woman's, a black woman and a white woman,

well, she has one more intersectional box to check than the white woman. So now she has more power. Ah, but if this chick is gay, ah, then she may have, they may equal out then. But if one of them's trans, then you see what I mean? It's like a constant one-uppance. So instead of focusing on shared cultural values and that shared identity that's based on liberty, you're now weaponizing all of these other variables to destroy that. It's an ingenious way to go after the thing that really did separate us from the Roman Empire was that singular shared identity. We had something around which we could rally and be loyal. And that was, we are free to be free. And this is where you come to do it at. That's why you can be from anywhere and you can be a kinsman and freedom.

And so that's why what Joy Reid just said there is so incredibly embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for her. Can you imagine making a video and showing your ass like that with how stupid you are? I mean, there's no excuse. She's like a 50-something year old woman. There's no excuse for you to have the money that you have, be on television and have the internet and then not understand the basic concepts of history like this. I mean, that's truly something. But that's the thing. And you know what? When you are removing the recognition of that shared cultural value that is your identity, because

when you think about, well, what does it mean to be an American? At its most just distilled core, what does it mean to be an American? free freedom i think that's what ultimately everyone would come down to yeah freedom so that's the that is the american identity well when you start weaponizing all of these other things around it and attacking it destroying it doing this reinventing the Mao cultural revolution with going after and attacking our history like they did with our founders oh our founders were imperfect thus everything that they have done is imperfect well that's illogical on its face because because all you've got to do is read the Bible. I mean, David was imperfect. He came from

one of the most imperfect lines in all of mandum. I mean, David, who sent your eye to be killed so he could get your eye's wife. David. And from him came the Messiah. So that completely blunts that argument. But they don't care. They want you to be separated from God so you don't understand that. And they also want you to turn on your fellow man and ignore that animating spirit of liberty so that we can destroy the social cohesion and obscure the identity of what it means to be American. Now, Rome did that to itself because they were allowing every time Dick and Harry and giving everybody's citizenship with just completely unfettered immigration, not even just immigration. It wasn't people even coming to Rome. Rome would go elsewhere and they would

conquer a land. Oh, you're Romans now. Here's your citizenship. We are incorporated. The incorporation was smart, but everything happened afterwards was not. So there's the She doesn't even understand, she, she doesn't even understand the warning cry of the fall of the Roman Empire and what that means or what it looks like in current times because she's just focused on the racial aspect of it. Immigration is a variable. And that's, and racist like her don't understand that. And I'll say it again, immigration is a variable because the identity, once again, is about being free. It doesn't matter what your skin color is. matter what your religion is, do you want to be free? And we are founded on Christian values,

but we're singular in that we do not demand that you worship as we worship or do what we do in order to accept the perks of freedom for the lack of a better way to put it. I mean, it's just one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm like, golly, has she ever read a book? I don't know but it's just truly stunning to me but I had to talk about that I had to talk about that

and the other part too is you know they were bringing in all of these the goths and all of the it sounds funny to say it now because I immediately think of you know like a hot topic actually it's email I immediately think like the cure or something but they

the way that they ended up managing it and the twilight of their empire just hastened that the conditions that created the fall. They'd already sacked themselves. So it's just a dumb, completely dumb thing from her.

Now, a couple of things that I want to make sure we're touching on. So we had the White House Correspondence dinner. We didn't go. Did you go? Or did you watch? I don't watch it. I felt like we used to watch it before. Or like we would pay attention, but, eh, yeah.

But apparently it was nobody watched it. Nobody cared because POTUS wasn't there, and nobody from the administration attended. they had a club that launched that night it's a member's only club that's in georgetown and you can pay a fee and you can hobnob with the administration i don't know how i feel about that but that launched uh the same night as the white house correspondence dinner i know the press secretary was there and there were other people that were there but they they didn't i mean did they even have a comedian host it i don't think they did so what was the point of it they they were patting themselves on the back that's all it was they were just celebrating themselves patting themselves on the back that's it's it and that's the White House Correspondence dinner. Now, coming up, two things that we're going to get into. Dems are ratcheting up incitement.

J.B. Pritzker calls for disruption. Also, the latest with Red State rhino hunting. So you don't want to miss. We've got a lot in store. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends over at Superbeats, the Superbearing product, the latest from the folks who brought you these Superbeats heart shoes.

Start today and get on the road to better cardiovascular health support. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I didn't even know this could happen. California is running out of license plate numbers. The license plate sequence that starts next year is kicking off. It's going, the one that began in 1980, it began with one AAA-O-O-O-O. and now

Oh, I'm not even reading all this It's 9 UB, I'm not good No, it's, no, not even Anyway, I didn't even know you could run out of It's what happens when you give illegals A bunch of licenses. Oh, dang, look at you. Hollywood film and television productions.

Everyone's saying it feels empty. Is it in a death spiral? Aw, filming in Los Angeles Is it a historic low? Remember how they were talking about implementing more tax credits and they never did it and people were mad.

Yeah. So they said that even in the back lots, there's nobody there. Nobody even around some of the bigger ones. Hollywood is facing intense competition for production in Atlanta, New York, places that do tax credits elsewhere. A lot of people have been coming to Texas.

It actually creates money. But, man, these policies are not good for business. They said shoot days declined over 22%. That's wild. Also, aren't things being, made differently? Things are being shot different. Production's different now.

It's very different. Virginia Garfrey, one of Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors apparently dies by suicide. Now, there were a lot of questions surrounding this because she had said at one point, I'm never going to commit suicide, etc. But Lorraine noted over the weekend that she and her

husband apparently split. He took the kids. And so she was like already going through it. And that might kind of that's sad. It's very sad. Southwest Airlines, oh my gosh, why? What would you do if you were on this flight? A Southwest Airlines passenger, stripped naked,

defecated on the seat as the plane landed. It was a flight to Chicago. It was a female passenger. They'd have called the cops to Midway because this lady was going crazy. You better remove that seat. Yeah, you better burn, just burn the plane because it's just no good at that point.

They had to take it out of service for cleaning. I hopefully with flames, that's nasty. they said that and then the last month they almost missed almost hit a jet a taxiing jet to sun glare apparently but they man they they handled it can you imagine being on that plane though i don't know i keep seeing these videos that people were told to get off the plane because they're being disruptive and then they fight and threaten to you know delay the whole plane i'm surprised that passengers don't intervene as much as as i just at all i'm actually kind of surprised over all of that all right coming up we got red state rhino hunting and who stole christianomes persigan what what's their history we'll discuss and j b pritzker our partners over at all family pharmacies is one of my favorite favorite people to work with and not just because i'm actually a customer it's like that hair club fermenting not only mike i'm also the president well i'm not the president but uh i love what they do because medicines that you need and especially those therapeutics that the government tried to prevent you from getting during lockdown well

And I'm like, I couldn't get to urgent care. There was a line. Like, I got to get some, they got it to me overnight. And I was immediately able to start getting better and still host Thanksgiving. It was amazing. And not, in fact, everybody.

They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box. J.D. Pritzker there, really trying to ramp it up. He's calling for disruption. It gets crazier. It's not just him doing it. You have other party leaders as well. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. Yeah, he, well, okay, can I just ask you a question? It might be obvious. When are they not in the streets? When are Democrats not in the streets? I mean, haven't they been in the streets this whole time? Yeah. Okay. I mean, when are they not in the streets? So he was at a fundraiser in New Hampshire, and he encouraged people, let's see, in his speech, to fight everywhere all at once, mass protest, disruption. He says that they, you heard him say, they cannot know a moment of peace, and he says that there are portraits of one day we put museums, quote, reserve for tyrants and traitors. what from

so we have Pritzker on the heels of Maxine Waters and not just them you also who do else we have

Hakeem Jeffries he's been saying the same stuff too he's he's been out there with the same rhetoric at Hakeem Jeffries the chair

he said that he said that Republicans are the party of traitors I'm looking reading his quotes so this was okay yeah this is real quick

this is the live stream that they did on the Capitol steps when they had their little sit-in. Listen. Because at that time in American history, there were multiple parties. We're in a two-party system right now. But there were multiple parties. And what Grant said is there are but two parties in America right now, patriots and traitors. You know Grant was a Republican, right?

You absolute dumbass. I'm sorry. forgive the Portuguese, but I'm not door to the explorer. Don't make me screen time babysit your kids. I mean, Grant was a Republican. The Democrats are some of that. First, you got Joy Reid. You don't even know what happened in Rome, fall of Rome.

And then you got this guy who's at quoting Grant like he's a Democrat. Grant was a Republican. Good night. But why in the world? This is, they've, I just, like they act like they've had a break. Like they haven't done, been out in the streets or done anything. in a while. Why would anybody vote for that? Like this guy wants to, J.B. Pritzker wants to run for president. He wants to be a candidate in 2028. That man has so much baggage. He doesn't have a shot

in Hades. And he decides his, here's the difference between him and the Newsom. Newsom is pretty much, it's going to be a formality for him in 28. But look at Newsom. Newsom is trying to outsmart the rest of his party and kind of runs center while still triangulating over the left. Pritzker's like, no, I'm just going to go run right towards the violence. He put his sandwich down long enough to try to incite violence. I mean, I don't know. That's what it sounds like. Remember when Trump after he was shot and he got up and said fight, fight, fight, fight, and all the left was like, that's so mean. He's calling for violence. But this is okay. What? Frederico Wilson a Democrat out of Florida per red state called upon people

to threaten Congress just a few days ago that they needed an uprising and people in the streets I feel like also is traitors a new buzzword that they're all testing because she all over the like literally within the span of the same two days she said it Hakeem Jeffrey said it Corey Booker said it. J.B. Pritzker said it hang on I got more several other Oh, no, here's something else that was noted.

And Red State caught this, and I thought this was very smart of them. So Pritzker, well, it was Red State, and then also this comes, the quote comes from NBC. I feel like he was taking a pot shot at Gavin Newsom with us because he was saying, you know, hold people responsible. and then he he took a shot and this is NBC quote he also took a shot at other democrats flocking to podcasts without singling anyone out quote what i find ironic about the current conversation surrounding our party is the voices flocking to podcasts and cable news shows to admonish fellow democrats who are not caring enough about the struggles of working families and they're the same ones uh when it comes to relieving the struggles of real people have been timid and not bold that does sound like he is taking a little bit of a shot at Gavin Newsom, doesn't it? Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. World Star. And it points to the Borg mentality that the Democrats demand.

Yeah. Well, exactly. That's, wow. They're going to battle at some point. So you got, because Newsom is pretty. So what happens when Newsom and his rush to the center crashes against this? This, that, that fight's coming. Ooh.

Who will win that, though? Because where are the independence and, well, the independence seemed to be kind of in the middle, but the base, the Democrat base? I got to be honest, I feel like they're on Pritzker side, at least with the rhetoric. Right. Has anybody on that party condemned Pritzker's language? Oh, that was a dumb question. Of course they haven't. They haven't done that at all. I mean, they have never been less popular than they are right now. They have not been less popular than they are right now. I mean, it's, it's a truly, it's, uh, wow. And when you look at all of their, the candidates that they're kind of already trying to shape up with 28.

of them, I think you'll, I think you would have Josh Shapiro and Gavin Newsom ultimately that would be battling it out because I just, I don't think that the independence, they have to have the independence and moderates in order to win. And there's no way they're going to rope those guys in. They're so real quick and then we're going to move on. But I really feel like they're going to have to have a super progressive, they'll have a super progressive VP pick. It's going to be a moderate and you're going to have a straight up communist as your VP. That's what they're going to do. They're going to have to. I want to get moving because we got some red state rhino hunting underway. And with this, you can pull this up. A couple of things here. So we're looking at Florida right now. I don't know if you guys are, and I don't expect everybody to understand all this stuff. In Florida, the chairman of the Florida GOP is a guy named Evan Power.

He is with the RNC, all that stuff. He apparently, the executive director of the Florida GEOP, is a guy named Bill Helmick. And per John Cardillo, he was donating to Democrats benefiting his consulting practice. And apparently, I mean, the receipts are there for everyone to see. Apparently, Evan Power in 2012 was also donating to Democrats. While they were trying to win the governor's office and midterms there, Helmick was donating and oven power was also donating

to Dems. Now what's more is the new thing is there are, now they've admitted it because I guess Helmick was doing, I guess he gave an interview and he was talking about people switching party affiliations

so that they could win seats and get state money for their agenda and apparently that's like one of the examples of it. There are, I'm just curious as to how many of these people switch their party affiliation to run for office and then get and then they get rnc money so you have democrats that would switch to become

republicans run in the state of florida and then because of that they would be able to get republican campaign money and uh wow i mean it's pretty and evan powers responded to this he's apparently having a meltdown online currently uh because these receipts have come to light. And there are a lot of these Democrat operatives that are really running rampant in Tallahassee right now. And a lot of, and apparently one of them is the guy is running Florida, GOP. He used to be a Democrat, apparently donating like just until recently money. And then, and then one of his big, as Cardilla noted, one of his big associates has been donating cash to

Democrat causes. Texas is the same way. Same thing is happening here. But there's going to be more receipts. I'm going to have more on this that's going to that I'm organizing for a post that's going to go up on substack. And I know it gets really into the weeds with it. But you really need to pay attention to some of these lawmakers.

It's very easy to find. You can, like, it's either open secrets or I think most states have websites where you can run through their information and put their name in there. And you can find out who their biggest donors are, contributors are, what they spend their campaign money on because if they get a war chest, they can help out other elected officials. You need to go run some of these people's names in here. Because it's pretty stunning. And especially in Florida and Austin, Texas, Tallahassee and Austin. It is really amazing all of this. This just this amount of overlap.

And they all, they, and some of them have like some of the same big donors as well. But the other thing too is that Evan Power, you know, he's basically calling the shots for legislation in Tallahassee. There is an active, uh, operation underway for Democrats that have, uh, basically infiltrated the Republican, uh, Florida Republican Party. And they're trying to thwart all. all actual like good conservative legislation coming through, whether it's saving taxpayer dollars, whether it is cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting the scope of government.

It's pretty amazing. And it's been noted that, you know, he might be chairman. This guy of him power might be chairman of the Florida GOP, but he doesn't have any power if he can't tell, call legislators and tell him to stop legislating like Democrats. It's unfortunate. We have more on the way. We've got Florida Man coming up. We're also going to get into the person that stole Christy Nome's bag is apparently an illegal alien that came in. It was twice deported previously. It's pretty, you can't make this up if you tried. We have more on the way. We've got Florida Man coming up as we move. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024, consistently reaching new highs.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida, man. This headline. It's like a mad libs. it's just like the second time I've said that today Underwear cocaine bust in the Florida Keys Nett's arrest of Miami Man Oh my gosh

Or you could just say Miami Man arrested for having cocaine in his bridges Right 36 years old Guy tried to smuggle cocaine He was arrested in Monroe County This name A-N-T-W-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-T-W-A-A-T-W-A-W-A That's right

Was stopped by the sheriff's office A search result it in uh 20 almost 30 grams of cocaine uh it was in his underwear so he was taken into custody transported to monroe county jail it sounded like he was uh cooperative which is boring i feel like underwear didn't have to be in the story at all like yeah like he just had it in his bridges but no apparently hmm or you could be like these people and they tried to flee a drug bust on a scooter oh boy so these people uh it is on an electric scooter, excuse me.

So they, it's in, no, Delan, Florida. A 34-year-old Nicole Wirt and her brother were fleeing a drug bust involving her boyfriend. 35-year-old James Burgess. They were trafficking drugs.

And I guess the police chopper has them. They were on one of the, like the little stand scooters, like a child scooter. And they're going so incredibly slow. She's, I guess, commandeering it and they fell over in traffic which is great they literally fell over they fell off the scooter this is the worst thing i've ever seen the worst fleeing i've ever seen they got the

they got the chopper i'm watching the footage all these people are stopping they couldn't get back on the scooter he kept falling off he's in stocked feet for crying out loud and they didn't get very far they maybe went 25 feet before they fell over and they got taken into custody that's like the i mean notice on none of these people ever actually plan an escape like what happens if something goes sideways you know what happens if that's the case i don't know this is actually a really great story i watched this video over the weekend it's fox 13 a florida woman uh was being dragged by a man in an SUV he was trying to kidnap her kids one of them was six months old the other i think was two and they were in a parking lot and they

were he was trying to drive off against her will dragging her she was trying to get her kids out uh it was outside of a shopping center in jacksonville and all these people and all these people all these good Samaritans you can watch one showing you right now that's the SUV they all ran out there to intervene and to help this woman get her kids the guy was taken into custody and police used the appropriate amount of force to do so it was a beautiful thing to watch and they didn't now this is the body came footage they didn't they didn't they had the audio later but this guy's like what I didn't do anything wrong what are you talking about they're like dude we got you on video like trying to kidnap kids they

took him into custody after forcefully taking him to the ground because when you target children guess what i really feel like he should have had his face scraped up on the asphalt a little bit more but that's just me i want to buy all of these officers like a brew and like send them food and all kinds of stuff i mean yeah that's how it's done right there but i loved all how many times do we see videos of people not helping and someone's in need and all these people are just like oh or they just take like video footage and they upload it that's cc t for you CCTV video footage there isn't any other footage of that so everybody immediately saw what was happening and they all ran to help i haven't seen that in a long time so that was like such a great feel good

story it was so nice uh also let's see here hmm how many times must you go to prison for impersonating a cop before you stop impersonating a cop this florida man was orange county man was arrested monday last monday he was accused of impersonating a police officer and pulling people over. Now, he has literally just served time in prison and is out because he was doing the same thing prior. 60-year-old Albert Dolan, he would have Amber Lights flashing you. He pretended his car was an unmarked police vehicle.

You can't do that kind of stuff. We have more on the way. Third hour, Stephen Yates will join us as well. Stick with us. This portion of our program, it's Keltec, the PR 57, chambered in 57. This is a great firearm. It's, I think, one of the best ones that they've done. They've made a lot of really good stuff, but I really think this is just absolutely one of the best.

And it's just super affordable. MSRP's 399. Come on. But it's lighter than all the other 5-7s out there, 40% lighter than the next 5-7. It has a unique top-loading design that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips. So you get a slimmer profile, 20 plus one capacity to low recoil and for ease of use and accuracy. engineered for simplicity and reliability. It's just a great everyday carry for everyone.

It's the first of its kind, Keltec, PR-57, Rotary Barrel Pistol, Chamberton 5-7, and you can find it at keltecweapons.com. K-E-L-T-E-C-C-Celtecweapons.com. Tell them Dana Sint you. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this third hour.

And coming up, my friend Stephen Yates, is going to be joining us a little bit later on as well. I have a million things still. Actually, not a million. I have one, two, three, four, five things, six things still. We're going to try to work them all in this segment before we get. All right, so first and foremost, let's just roll down the list. We talked about the White House Correspondence Dinner.

Lorraine reminded me that the, that comedian that was going to host it actually was had had, was smack talking, the administration and was apparently disinvited. Like, she said some pretty heinous things. also this is a new poll heartbreak for Democrats new CBS poll reveals the results of their Kilmar-Abrego-Garcia campaign bad

it's really really really bad he's not a wrongly deported Marilyn Manny is a gang member and this is a I mean it's just it's really wild that they decided to

just put stake a flag on this right so the polling for this Democrats Americans approve of the deportation 56 to 44 it was plus 8

Independent support this by 8 and this is a CBS poll it's I didn't see whether it was margin or errors like 2.4 and this was done

just like in the last week so this is a very popular and this actually isn't a bad survey It's only, I think it's only, I think it's only, hang on, barely over one. It's pretty evenly when you, in CBS, when you click the link at the bottom, you can see all their cross-tab

data. It's pretty evenly, there's a lot of independence in it, which is why I actually think, and it's likely voters not registered, but still the majority of people they support the deportation program. So all of this was done, all of this Democrats did,

to blunt that. It didn't work, did it? didn't work didn't work at all now i have another did you guys hear the story of the the the uh reports about the dc helicopter crash i'm going to pull this up because i had this later i had this up earlier so this was i saw this over uh this is a saw it first over at ap they were trying to bury this bombshell report who made the fatal mistake that caused that Blackhawk to collide with a jet. Remember this? This was that American Airlines passenger plane and it was the helicopter that ran into it and oh my gosh, this is horrible. So this from new details by the New York

Times revealed that the pilot made more than one mistake. The Army Blackhawk pilot was Captain Rebecca Lobach. She was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot, Andrew Lloyd Eves, who was serving as her flight instructor and apparently she was flying not only and this is from details from the New York, New York Times of all places and I mean that is just at least they're getting and I'm putting this in for you. The she was flying too high and it was apparently told that she was flying too high. She apparently failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course. And 15 seconds before colliding with the commercial airplane, air traffic control told her to turn left and she did not do so. Seconds before impact, the co-pilot turned to Lobach in the

cockpit told her air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so. They don't know why she changed course. They were informed that an aircraft was nearby, per the report that was published for the New York Times. They were practicing and conducting this thing. They spotted the plane apparently themselves before requesting to fly by visual separation to avoid collisions on your own observations instead of falling air traffic control. And a lot of times it's executed, but they said New York Times reported when mishandled, it creates deadly risk.

it was 15 seconds away from crossing paths with the jet and if she had turned left it would have opened up more space between them and instead she ran right into it now I can't fly a helicopter that's why I put my expertise in those who can it doesn't look good

this New York Times report and it's the New York Times she I mean they note in here that she failed to hear to heat a director from her co-pilot on changing course twice she was told twice according to the new york times and we have what happened happened i don't know how you could i i it's just it's tough they said that some of the experts according to this report believed that turning off the system deprived everybody of another safeguard they said the controller could have done more as well at the time of the crash for reasons that are murky a single controller was working helicopter traffic and commercial runway traffic the fAA said they're not going to

discuss but regardless she was told twice to change course and didn't or told she was told twice to go left and didn't they don't know why she had changed course from what was original uh they said that there may have been inaccurate altitude readings also moments before the crash and the recording from the Blackhawk via NTSB so that incomplete radio transmission may have left them without understanding how it could shift position to avoid the aircraft. It sounds like a lot of things could have been prevented here. And they think that the Black Hawk crew did not hear the word circling because they were pressing the microphone key to talk at the exact same time that crucial term came through. So they were talking over the direction they were getting to.

This sounds really sloppy. I feel really bad for them and I, you know, I don't like to armchair this but I mean I don't know it it I can a lot of people are saying that it's DEI I don't think it's DEI I think it's just bad instruction yeah little incompetence I mean there are warning systems and things ignored like that's basic stuff yeah it's I mean and you have I mean so many lives lost it's sad this is incredibly sad I want to also touch on the story of this man you pull this up who stole

Christy Noam's purse, her sweet little Gucci bag that she had a $3,000 cash in. I still can't believe this story. So Julio Rosas had reported on this as well. The guy who took

her purse is Mario Bustamante. He the man's in, he's in the U.S. illegally. There is a daily mail piece that Julio found. from 2015 that shows that he's done this before he's Chilean he has stolen wallets computers and phones in London and the an NBC reported that he didn't necessarily target her he had no

idea she was DHS he it was because she had a Gucci bag and he saw Gucci and he stole it that's why so it wasn't that he was targeting her it was was how did but i'm just curious like do we know was the bag on a chair was it just sitting somewhere like if you're dhs and you've got stuff that you need in there then maybe don't just leave it around be a little bit more cognizant right if you have to then wear a belt bag whatever you got to do but um yeah he's here illegally he was apparently twice deported oh two times now i mean that just kind of really runs it runs at home does it not he was masked she was having dinner with her family in D.C.

And she said that she had $3,000 because she was going to buy Easter presents. Can I just say, I'm sorry. I don't, that's weird to me. If you carry around $3,000 in cash, I'm calling Shanigans. That's some BS. I don't know. I'm not saying she's a drug dealer or anything, but why the hell do you got to have $3,000 in cash?

You're in D.C. to buy Easter stuff. That was what was said. Apple pay, man. Apple pay. Everybody's got it. It's expensive in D.C. What? Apple pay?

No, things are expected. Oh, yeah, they are, but why do you need $3,000 cash? I never, ever have that kind of money on me, ever. I mean, you, and Steve immediately, Steve, ask your question. Ask it. Ask your question. It's a legitimate question. We know on the show that my mother works at Kirkland, so we talk about home and garden all the time.

And what Easter things cost that much money? That's the million dollar thing. she that's the million dollar question right she said that she was using it to treat her family to dinner activities and easter gifts 3,000 cash like peeps and chocolate bunnies yeah they know peep that cost 3,000 they know chocolate bunny that costs 3,000 like how many people are in her family a million plastic easter grass girl why are you carrying $3,000 in cash on you that's a big oh hell no especially in dc that's a big no no that's a great big no no we all know that's a great big no no we all know that? So if she was at a restaurant, that means it was probably on the back of her chair or

something. I am always so hyper aware, though. I feel like I'm always lovely yellow. It's probably why I have inflammation. I'm just always aware of everything. Like, if you're even coming near the vicinity of my back, I know you. I can tell how you part your hair. It's, I don't know, like, how are you not aware of this stuff? But anyway, we'll just assume. I'm not saying that she's buying drugs or anything like that. Not at all. I just don't know why you carry $3,000 in cash. That's weird, right? That's like, no, I'm not going to say it. I was going to say, I just, I don't know. That's not fair. No, but I don't know how, I don't know how else to, I've never carried that.

I've never done that, ever, ever. The most I've ever carried are maybe like a couple of euros here and there if I needed to like use the restroom if I'm like in Europe. That's it. But never in your life, you never carried like a ton of money on you? No. Ever. No. Never, never, never, never have.

I mean, if I was doing a drug deal or if I was a, you know, when I was a server, I had a lot of money at the end of my shift. I've done it before. Back in the day when buying cars from individuals, you carry cash. Back in the day. This is not in the day. This is the now. What are you trying to do right now? What are you trying to do right now with the back in the day comment?

I just, I don't know. I'm not saying that it's anything. I'm just trying to, I desperately want to know. Why do you have to have $3,000 cash in person? I don't think it's that suspect. You're in D.C. all the time. I didn't say what I'm just fascinated. I don't know.

I've been to D.C. a lot. I never, of all the places to not carry money. That is a place. You don't carry cash. Because there's something shifty on every corner. Was it all hundies? Was it all ones? Was it?

I don't know. Anyway, all right, moving on. But, yeah, a person who was shockingly in the country illegally. I know. It just and had been deported already. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's our friends over at Burn a Gun. I always like to have diverse options, right?

And you, I mean, you carry blades. You have different kinds. halibers. This is a great option for people who are thwarted from exercising their Second Amendment rights to their fullest because of municipal restrictions or because of private property restrictions, whatever it is. You want to still be able to protect yourself. I mean, we've seen the crime statistics and you've seen what Soros back restorative justice is done to recidivism and to the crime rate in numerous cities. So the burn a gun is a popular go-to for people who want to diversify their weapons array and still

make sure that they have a form of protection. The Burna SD is the most popular model. It has a five-round capacity. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles. Quick deployment, easy target acquisition, no recoil. And it's legal in all 50 states. No background checks, no permits. It ships right to your door. So it's super accessible for everyone. And like I've said prior, it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, the SD is the best selling model. They have other ones. I would recommend the SD for this particular purpose of self-defense. but you can visit brunna.com slash dana bryrna.com slash dana get 10% off your purchase that's berno.com slash dana for 10% off and now all of the news you would probably miss it's time for dana's

It's summer! Stop it! You stupid weather, environmental freaks! Oh my gosh, can you guys believe?

It's going to be super hot coming up. Oh my gosh, what are we going to do? It's going to be hot. It's going to be dry. Yeah, it's called summer. What it's called? Okay, I got to... These people.

Also, officers are a warning of... Oh, here we go. Cane moon rocks Highly potent Cannabis I don't even know I feel like this is all like Reefer Madness

Isn't it? It seems like the officers are warning of potent cannabis moon rocks What does it do? They combine the marijuana This is all too already in the weeds for me Combining marijuana flour with hash oil And rolling it in cannabis powder Resulting in THC levels that reach 50%

or higher. I don't even... That's like the moonshine of weed. Isn't that taking like moonshine and mixing it with other moonshine and then mixing it with like gin? And then it's the same thing, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay, I'm just curious. Yeah, it's a little reefer madness there.

Ooh, Colorado Senator claims preschoolers bring big backpacks of weed to class. Well, it's Colorado. Yeah, they voted to like legalize everything. You can, I'm going to tell you the last time I was in Denver, I've never been outside and randomly just smelled a ton of weed before and

had no idea where it was coming from. You know what I mean? Like normally you're like, oh, it's that person over there. I mean, the stinkiest, it was like someone blew up a dead animal. I don't even know. It was like a dead animal

fart. I don't even know, man. That's what it smelled like and it was horrible and I was just like, oh my gosh. Nobody knew where it came from. the days of yore you'd be like it's that person because we can see them but now it's like so prevalent so actually i wouldn't be surprised at all if a preschooler was carrying a giant backpack a weed well i don't know it's colorado they can go and do whatever they can just you know they got rid of other guns but they can be they can be high as a kite when they're being assaulted and targeted

this article that I saw Daily Beast and others run with Trump refuses to give Biden an Air Force one ride to the Pope's funeral FYI they didn't tell him that Biden was going until the plan was already in the air so what was Air Force One going to do stop over the sea turn around and go back and get

sleepy Biden roll that footage in the B-roll real quick one because Biden I don't even know if Biden knew he was going to go he needed help leaving he this actually stunned me he was grabbing onto his wife's or his wife had a hold of his arm and then a cardinal gave him his arm and they were they were walking down the steps there

and he was having even trouble just like walking wands got this he's going to show it to you real quick uh it's slow mode but he was like having trouble getting down the steps and he was just real so that leg snapped back like that oh that was weird i don't know maybe i'm reading too much into it but that was all fake news what isn't fake news though is that weird little sit down that they had it was a pretty extraordinary photo between Vladimir Zelensky and President Trump. And then Macron tried to horn in on it there at the last minute. And then Kier-Starmer, apparently, I feel like Kier-Starmer and Emmanuel Macron did not want Trump to sit down and talk to Zelensky to discuss this and much more, our very good

friends, Stephen Yates, at Yatescom, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He joins us now on video. Stephen, always so good to have you. I am just dying to know. What are your thoughts, that weird little thing that? happened there at St. Peter's. You had, you had Zelensky coming in. Trump was talking to him. And then Emmanuel Macron comes out of nowhere. And he was like trying to horn his way in on their little sit down. Like he did not want them to have a discussion together. Is that what you took away

from that? Well, my first takeaway was I saw that iconic photo that resulted from it. And I thought, I don't know whether Trump does this himself or there's someone in his entourage, but they know how to get extremely iconic photos, like, with ease. But the idea that you're in this beautiful venue and you just have the two people basically almost chin-to-chin eyeball to eyeball leaning in for a conversation. I mean, it really said a lot. Now, we don't know very much at all about what they actually said to each other. But yeah, you had these other leaders that wanted to walk in and participate.

There was sort of a musical chairs game where there was three chairs and one was taken away. And I guess the other prime minister was sent off to the corner to wait for the big people to finish talking. But I, you know, this is, I think Trump at his best in a way. I mean, really, this is, before he went on this trip, he said he hoped that he would see lots of world leaders and they would have these side meetings. This is an important one. I thought it really mugged Zelensky of the idea of using the cameras and the press against Trump. and it robbed him of using the Europeans against Trump. And in a way, in the aftermath, it also robbed the Europeans of being able to claim they're going to do a whole heck of a lot.

They've grandstanded on how much more they're going to pay and do, but they don't have much. And so still, Zelensky needs Trump. This got the filter out of the way. I hope it worked for the president in the United States. I love how you said that, too, that it disallowed whether it was the left or the Europeans or anybody from being able to use that. because I was reading this body language analysis, and they were saying, well, Trump looks at ease, but also eager and flexible, but still the way he's sitting in a power posture, but that he was up forward on his toes, that's, he's being reasonable and flexible, non-threatening, but still

the way his upper body was structured. And I love reading those stuff, that he was still in a position of power. And Zelensky was much more muted, especially when you compare how he was behaving, like, just physically, when they were sitting in the Oval Office, because that's the last time that they had met. And you're right, for him to be able to, like, toss out McCrone like that, they rob them of equal consideration. And it kind of sort of telegraphed that the United States is in charge of this, is in charge of how this is going to go.

We're in charge of our response, and we're going to lead the way for the rest of the Western nations. So that's a really good point, because I don't think it would have been as powerful if you had the other hangar-ons there. No, no. And it sure appeared to me that Zelensky still hasn't gone through wardrobe upgrade for going to important places. I mean, this is the Pope's funeral in one of the most ornate buildings, a very ceremonial gathering, you might consider a suit for these big deals. I don't know what's going on with it.

Yeah, you could have had a, could have had a suit for that. I wanted, there's a few things I want to ask you. They're all somewhat related. This one definitely is because it all goes back to China. Pakistan and India. I mean, you have two nuclear powers that, you know, kind of gives me a little bit of pause. I don't want them at each other's throats. And then China tries to. weigh in like the older brother and say, oh, no, no, we urge restraint. We are, we hope that you all exercise restraint. And it says that China is not closely following this evolving India-Pakistan situation, because as I understand it, they're kind of going back and forth over Kashmir. What is China's involvement in this? I, I am nervous the moment I saw a headline where they're trying to wait in on it, because obviously they come down on the side of Pakistan. They have a weird relationship with India. They do. They have a right. real relationship with India. They try to play nice economically from time to time, but even on

something like Apple, India is seemingly winning the Apple negotiations, and manufacturers of the ubiquitous iPhone are likely to be more done in India than China in the not too distant future. But China has always leaned towards Pakistan. That was the channel through which Henry Kissinger took his secret journeys to negotiate with Mount Zedong and Join-Lai for the normalization during the Cold War. Pakistan wouldn't have nuclear weapons but for China and its sister state, North Korea. And so the only reason there's two nuclear powers at odds in this instance is because China helped Pakistan get nuclear weapons. And so, yeah, they're going to watch this really, really closely. But China's never about solving things. They're about trying to appear

to be like the magistrate overseeing what's happening there. India is, is in a really different place today under Prime Minister Modi, an extremely experienced leader at this point. I think India is shedding some of its socialist backing when it comes to economic policies. And it might be at a breakout point where it could be more the go-go economy that's driving the world and leaving China

to try to catch up. That might be my wish, but I think there's some evidence behind it. And that's what's playing in the background of this. All things considered, when you have well over a billion people in a subcontinent, 13 to 20 or so casualties is a small decimal point, but human lives matter. And when you got nuclear states, we're going to pay a lot of attention. India seems poised to potentially at some point take over from China in terms of mass production and everything else because now they have the population to do it. They've officially exceeded China in terms of being the most populous nation on the planet. And I'm just, so it, I'm obviously, I feel like there's a little like a, there's some jealousy there on China's part because that's, that, that was always kind of like their calling card and their ability to just, you know, the war of attrition, so to speak. Is that, is that possible? Is that going to happen? And can that happen unless the United States takes an active role in kind of shepherding that relationship and, and partnering with India?

Well, the United States has been for some time. And really, in the post-9-11 era, George W. Bush was doing a lot with his counterpart in India, and we expanded a lot during that time. President Trump has a uniquely good relationship with Prime Minister Modi, one that's never been the case between the two countries. And Modi was actually president in the United States during a political campaign in a rally for President Trump, something that diplomats and sort of the establishment class around the world would never condone or imagine. But the relationship's been going very, very well.

India has not always made itself easy to deal with. They've done things very slowly, big bureaucracies, but they are democracy. They do have elections and count all their votes. China seems unwilling, unable to do that. I actually believe the Indian census about their numbers, and I think until China is verifiably transparent, we shouldn't give them credit for having a large economy or a large population. But that may be just me. But India has all of the opportunities to seize this leading role and partnership. And frankly, Europe should be grasping at how to improve that relationship instead of sopping up to China as an alternative to mean old United States who wants to rebalance trade. Yeah. Speaking of trade, I want to play for you,

audio sound by 30 real quick. This is the Treasury Secretary talking about trade negotiations. Now, Scott Bassett is saying that he is unaware of any conversation that he may, that Trump is having with Xi. Do we have this? Yes. Let me play this real quick. Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point? I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we're doing. And Martha, if there are 180 but those aren't actual deals. Martha, if there are 180 countries, there are 18 and important trading partners. Let's put China to the side because that's a special negotiation. There's 17 important trading partners and we have a process in place over the next 90 days

to negotiate with them. Some of those are moving along very well, especially with the Asian countries. So he's saying that trade negotiations are moving along very well if you were able to hear that with Scott Besant. But he is unaware, a Washington examiner, unaware of trade talks between Trump and Xi. Trump says he's spoken with Xi many times. I don't know if, and Besant said this on Sunday. So I don't, where does that stand? Like, where does the conversation between the United States and China and this tariff off? Where does all that stand? And how do you see this wrapping up? People in the U.S. system talking to people in the Chinese system. I don't know that Xi Jinping has picked up the call and picked up the phone and called.

President Trump, he should, he should have all these days since the Liberation Day was announced. He should have been right away when the first tariffs on fentanyl precursors were put in place. He should have picked up the phone and said, hello, friend, I'd like to make a deal. We're a responsible neighbor and partner and let's do good business together. He might have had an advantage if he would have done so. So every point along the way, the U.S. team has given China a choice between escalation and confrontation and negotiation and de-escalation, and without fail, 100% of the time, they pick confrontation and escalation.

Now, I think President Trump sometimes uses word magic to try to frame the environment for conversations, and journalists sometimes want to parse the words in uncomplimentary ways. But any anchor who's asking a question like I just heard of Scott Bassett is just mind-numbingly moronic if they're trying to say what is a deal and what isn't a deal. In our big government with big countries, we have lots of deals within deals that build up to something that's announced. And so I don't get the point about what's real or what's not real. The one thing we know for sure is during the four years of Biden,

almost nothing happened whatsoever. And within the first hundred days, we have at least 17 major nations negotiating at a pace we have never seen. It's hard at any time to do all those deals. but really to say that you haven't gotten anywhere is just crazy. Yeah, completely agree. One last quick question for you, because we've talked about this before. China has seized the disputed reef in the South Sea.

Sandy Kay, which is right by the Philippines military outpost. This is one of those things that they've been trying to take for some time. I saw this little photo. They had Coast Guard officers unfurl their flag on this little Sandy Key. How significant is this? well it would be a joke if it hadn't been done a bunch of times before and if you hadn't had these uninhabitable stand bars in the middle of nowhere that end up with military facilities port facilities surveillance facilities and you end up with reclamation of land from the sea where it ends up

not just being some weird uninhabitable sandbar and then china claims that everything between this far off nowhere land and their actual territories now their sovereign domain. And that is the crazy irresponsible expansionism that they've been doing. Basically, ever since Hillary Clinton told them how dare you don't take another step. And her minion, Kurt Campbell, said that we were going to pivot to Asia and we were going to stop this. It's now been 14 to 15 years later and they aren't stopping. And so I think it's really important for our allies to start pushing back on this. I wish that something would be done by countries that are in that region when they put that flag up. I hope those two guys stand there and hold the flag because the moment they go to sleep,

we should be playing capture the flag and go there to a giant blue bear flag there or a giant freedom flag there and dare them to come back. But, you know, they're going to have to at some point stop them from the theater because the theater turns in to actual sovereign encroachment if you don't do something. That's a great point. That's a very good point. Stephen Yates, never, never a dull day. We always have something to chew over with all of this. You can go and follow him on X at Yatescoms. Always appreciate your insight.
