Starting point is 00:00:00 It just keeps going on. Welcome to the program. It's been a busy weekend for POTUS, even though he was traveling to North Carolina and then traveling to Vegas. And then he is, he went to a later view of the wildfires. And then there's a ton of stuff that happened, including a brief 37 minute standoff with Columbia, which we're going to get into. And then Wall Street. This is a really interesting story with Navidia falling 12% in pre-market trading, all triggered. off by China's deep seek. We're going to discuss that as well. We've got the cabinet hearings. We got a lot of stuff to hit. So as we go into it, welcome to the program right now. You can listen to us across the country. And like I said, through no fault of our own word. We're dealing with some tech, fun tech stuff. So in the meantime, can we talk about Columbia for a moment? As you know, the president was talking about deportation. That's part of his agenda. He had executive orders to that effect and he says that Columbia, he was telling everybody, he was sending everybody back to their country of origin, particularly as it pertains to Colombia. And they had these deportation flights
Starting point is 00:01:10 on military planes. And he said this is his priority. Ice made about 900 arrests. This was just on Sunday alone. And with one particular group, POTA said that he was sending them back to Columbia. Now, the interesting thing about this, you know, he's, it's not just Columbia. Again, I want to reiterate. It's, you know, you're talking about the sending, sending and or repatriating for the back of a better way to put it. Everything back, you know, everybody back to their original country of origin. So there was a group going back to Columbia. And Trump said he made, was very public about it, said that they were sending them back to Columbia. The Colombian president didn't like that too much. He is, he issued. He is, he made, he was very public about it, and he is, he was, he said that he, he was, he was he, he was. He said he made, he was he was. He was. He was. He was. He was, he was issued a statement, the Columbia, Colombian president issued a statement saying that, you know, it wasn't going to be too open to that. So they, they, so at that point, that's when Trump said,
Starting point is 00:02:07 okay, well, if this is how it's going to be, then we're going to, and we're going to just place tariffs on everything. So this was per CBS. They were going to accept these, Columbia was told to accept these illegal immigrants that were being returned back to their country of origin. And they said, no, they weren't going to accept them. They said they were going to block the arrival of deportation flights from the United States.
Starting point is 00:02:38 And so that's when, I think he was what, on Whole Five, something crazy like that. He just decided, nope, that's not how it's going to happen. And he was playing golf. And as he was playing golf, he tweeted that he was basically going to stick his boot in the backside of Columbia. and 37 minutes later, there was a new statement from the Colombian president saying, yeah, that's fine. We'll go ahead and take them. That was a very interesting quick thing, was it not? Very quick thing.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I mean, literally it was 37 minutes. The weird thing is that the administration already cleared this with the Colombian president. And that's what's kind of weird. That was from the Wall Street Journal. He said they were going to hit all imports at the 25% tariff and suspend all visa processing. And he said they were going to start escalating the response even further if Petro, Gustavo Petro, who is the president of Columbia, if he didn't open his airport to deportation flights.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So it was going to escalate even further beyond 25%. 37 minutes later, that's when he said, yes, he's not only going to authorize the flights, but they're also going to help pay for it too, which was very interesting. He said he was even going to use his presidential plane to help return illegal immigrants to Colombia, to. To help them maintain their dignity, that was his excuse for it. But they said that, yeah, they would accept them back. Now, that was a really quick line of humiliation for Gustavo Petro.
Starting point is 00:04:05 It was very, I mean, that was 37 minutes. The other thing, too, what was funny is because this is going to come up again and again with these countries, with countries like Colombia, Venezuela, elsewhere. Now, if you remember, Gustavo Petro had also announced as like, I guess, a way to retaliate a 50% tariff on American imports. But if you look at Columbia and you look at the United States, who can afford a trade war with the United States? Especially when you, when the issue is precisely on taking back your own citizens who crossed illegally into our country. I mean, it's, it was stupid for Petro to even suggest it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 They can't afford it. It would absolutely wreck their economy. It would destroy their economy. Times, what's more, their headline, their piece on this, Columbia agrees to accept deportation flights after, flights after Trump threatens tariffs. It even touches on how he's as, Petro is as, is not as, is not very popular in Columbia with Colombians. I mean, not at all. New York Times says he is deeply underwater, not very, he's not popular at all. So imagine, excuse me, you're the, you're the president of
Starting point is 00:05:22 Columbia and you are flirting around with a trade war, a 50% tariff on American imports which would destroy your economy and make it really hard for your people to be able to afford basic goods. But yet
Starting point is 00:05:40 that's not going to do anything to the U.S.'s economy. So what a stupid move? What a stupid move? U.S. can, it's not going to do nothing to us. It'll destroy them. So he backed away from it. Now he's, now he's, now he's being lovey-dovey as the song would go. He's being lovey-dovey now. So that was a huge W for that. And Trump apparently just did it on his phone while he was playing golf. That's the funniest thing to me. He, where they say, I don't know golf terms. He was on like the fifth hole or something and he's, I don't know. He basically hit a good shot and then tweeted that he was going to kick somebody's ass on X and then that was it. It went from there.
Starting point is 00:06:17 So that's not the only thing that we're watching. We're also watching. We're also watching. watching Wall Street and we're watching the cabinet. As you know, Pete Heggseth, SACDF, has been confirmed. And one of the first things that he did was say that DEI is dead. Trump's expected to sign some executive orders to reshape the military, including the banning of transgender troops. All of this needs to be followed up with legislation. That's incredibly important because EOs, as you saw with Biden, once you can, you mean, you can do an EO, but it can be undone just as quickly. And it's very important that it's not in this case. So we're going to be, we're going to focus on all of that, get into that as well. We've got some interesting things, deep state, because federal employees are now trying to figure out how they can throw wrenches and absolutely everything that needs to happen, these, not just next six months, but next four years. So we're going to dive into that as well. We have a lot to hit today. And again, bear with us as we manage these tech difficulties. It seems like whenever we travel and our equipment travels, whenever we come back, there's always something.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It's not our issue. We're going to beat the machines into submission. So with everything going on in the world right now, the economy, conflicts, the open border, spiraling national debt, the devastating inflation, it's critical that you have a plan for diversifying and protecting your savings. And that's why so many, including myself, have turned to precious metals like gold and silver to help protect our savings. And I partnered with the top rated precious metals company Goldco to make that happen. It's a great company with a great reputation and they could not have made the process any easier. And right now, Goldco is offering a free gold and silver kit that will show you how precious metals can help protect and diversify your savings. And for my audience, they're offering up to a 10% instant match in bonus silver on qualified orders.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So the CIA is now favoring the lab leak theory to explain COVID's origins. Oh, yay, I'm so happy that the super smart intelligence agency is now agreeing to the theory that we all knew was the most completely obvious theory on God's green earth.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yay, I'm so glad that they figured it out. that that's the truth. They said for years, they didn't have enough information to conclude whether or not the pandemic, which was admittedly from Bakwano, from a cave near Wuhan, and then taken to a lab in Wuhan
Starting point is 00:09:01 that was near a wet market in Wuhan. They said they never had enough information. There's literally more information about this than there is about Bigfoot and the use of crystals and essential oils and everything else on God's Green Earth. there's more proof for this, but they said, no, no. So now they've issued a new assessment this week confirming what we all knew because they feel like the political climate allows for it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Our intel is predicated upon political climate, and that just makes me think that we deserve to go to hell in a handbasket, quite honestly. The Napster fight. It's about AI recreating works using original artists' voices. Paul McCartney says he fears that AI is going to rip off artists. I feel like everybody's only now just paying attention to this stuff, by the way. Half of millennials depend on a tax refund to make ends meet apparently as well. We got a lot more in-store sect-def. We got a new one finally. Stick with us. Folks over at pre-born, this is a great organization. Pre-born does so much to save the lives of infants. And they are firm champions of the sanctity of life month. And the, I mean, that's always, always, always air on the side of
Starting point is 00:10:16 of life. And when you think of the abortion pill and how, I mean, I was listening to them tell me about how many abortions are actually now due to the abortion pill as opposed to how you normally think women go out and obtain abortions, it's stunning. And preborn wants to give women a second chance to choose life. I mean, these abortion pills are going to be over 60% of abortions. So they are working with women, meeting women where they are and letting them know they are strong and empowered and they can be a mother and preborn is there to help. They have ultrasounds. When a woman hears her baby's heartbeat, sees her baby on an ultrasound. The chance for that baby's life increases by 50% and your donation, 100% of it saves lives.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Every dollar you donate goes directly to saving babies. People who are donating are buying ultrasound machines. They're providing life-saving ultrasounds. They're also providing care, working with Preborn up to two years to make sure these families get on the right path and are strong and can stand on their own. That's what they do. Pre-Borne has a four-star charity rating so you can give with confidence. If you're able to consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way, $5,000 sponsors Prevorn's Network for 24 hours.

Starting point is 00:11:56 And today, there are more executive orders coming that we fully support on removing DEI inside the Pentagon, reinstating troops who were pushed out because of COVID mandates, Iron Dome for America. This is happening quickly. And as the Secretary of Defense, it's an honor to salute smart. partly as I did as a junior officer and now as the Secretary of Defense to ensure these orders are complied with rapidly and quickly. Every moment that I'm here, I'm thinking about the guys and gals in Guam, in Germany, in
Starting point is 00:12:32 Fort Benning and Fort Bragg on missile defense sites and aircraft carriers. Our job is lethality and readiness and war fighting. We're going to hold people accountable. I know the chairman agrees with that. The lawful orders of the President of the United States will be executed inside this defense department swiftly and without excuse. We will be no better friend to our allies and no stronger adversary to those who want to test us and try us. So, Mr. Chairman, thanks for welcoming me today. I look forward to serving the troops.
Starting point is 00:13:05 The warriors of this department, it's the honor of a lifetime, and we're going to get to work. Well, there you go. And that's the new sect of he's been confirmed into office. And so now it is, it's done. That's it. So now we have to wait until, let's see. I mean, he's got to do a lot of stuff. He's got to do a lot of cleaning of the house.
Starting point is 00:13:28 A lot of things have to happen with SEC Def. A friend of mine was saying that a lot of these people, especially as it pertains to the DEI orders, they're just absolutely insubordinate. So something's got to be done. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We're beating the machines into submission. So you can hear us right now, but the simulcast, well, we're getting there.
Starting point is 00:13:49 But it's Monday, so there you go. We're breaking this down and getting you set up for this week because this is, I mean, that was a big one, getting SACDuff done. I think it's going to be a little tougher for somebody like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK. And, you know, honestly, and we're going to get to that here in a minute. But this, the Secretary of Defense also put out a note and he tweeted it. He said the president's guidance lawful orders is clear. No more DEI Department of Defense. The Pentagon will comply immediately. No exceptions, name changes, or delay. And it says DOD does not equal DEI. And he's got SECF 29 underneath it. And that is it. And that's exactly how it should be. This is fantastic. And I'm happy to see it. So this is an overhaul that we need, that we desperately need with the military. Because we've been focusing on all of the, all of the wrong things. And as a result, well, you know, I mean, that's just the way, that's kind of the way we've been seen what happened. So this, I'm sure he's going to be fought.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I'm sure that they're going to, I'm sure he's going to fight, that everybody's going to fight, fight us over this. But it's important that it gets done because we've got to be about, we have to be about military readiness. It has to be about military readiness. So that's, that's what we, that's what we have to focus on. So he's tossed out the DEI, name changes. He's not focusing on any of that right now. And I mean, granted, that's exactly how it should be.
Starting point is 00:15:21 This, there's so many things that are in the works and I think everybody's watching what happens next. It's been coming in fast and furious. I was just telling you last segment about Gustavo Petro, who's the head of Columbia. Well, apparently in Iran, I was,
Starting point is 00:15:37 even though it's the telegraph, the telegraph is a trashy British paper. they're very far left. They said that in this article, it says that the Ayatollah and his government, they said to kind of cool their jets a bit. They're telling everyone that they think that now we are the existential threat to them, a threat that they have not had hanging over their head for some time. They write this, quote, officials have told commanders of Iran backed militias to avoid
Starting point is 00:16:09 provocative actions that could escalate regional tensions. They said, I quote forces and allies in the regions have been instructed to act with caution as the regime feels an existential threat with Trump's return. They said in Iraq and Yemen forces have been told not to target any American assets and if they do, they're warned explicitly against using Iranian weapons. And they've been told to keep defensive positions for a while and avoid any actions that might provoke the Americans. You know, they always have the measure of, and I have a piece here, because he put out a statement about his first one, what he's going to accomplish in the first, not even first 100 days, the first 100 hours of his term.
Starting point is 00:16:47 That's kind of where we're at. It's the first 100 hours. And there's so much that has happened already. So much. In addition to that, I wanted to touch on Wall Street here real quick. NVIDIA falls, NVIDIA falls about 12% in pre-market trading because of the Chinese. It's the deep seek. And one of the things that Lorraine founded, that Lorraine found over this,
Starting point is 00:17:13 Sorry, I'm pulling this up right now. So this was a piece. I'm going to add this to the bunch that I have because Navidia has dropped 16%. That's the China Deepseek AI model. And it's everybody's kind of freaking out about valuation. So they're looking at the tech, everybody's selling everything off. Tech companies have been investing tons of money in AI models and data centers and all this other stuff. So now all of this just plunged.
Starting point is 00:17:38 That's the global sell-off because Deepseek, people are worried about the competitiveness. in the American sector. Navidia really has been keeping Wall Street afloat. I mean, honestly, that and a handful of others, but they've been the big-time beast in the conversation of AI. They slid almost 16%. And, I mean, nobody, these are lows that haven't been seen before, I mean, at least since last fall.
Starting point is 00:18:05 So it's been a, it was a pretty big drop. Deepseek launched a free open source language model just very late December. they said it was developed in just two months and it was under $6 million. And that's way much more inexpensive than Western counterparts. And so they said the company released a reasoning model that also apparently outperformed Open AI's latest. And so they said that all these people have been raving about Deepseek and a lot of people
Starting point is 00:18:33 are very concerned because, again, AI models and data centers, some people are now saying that the U.S. is not leading the AI arms race is what it is. And they're saying that the U.S. is not leading it as much as what was previously believed. And that's why all the, all of the investment was coming into AI, to U.S. data centers, et cetera. So now this is a huge, this is a huge move. And we're going to, we're going to feel, I mean, this is, we're going to feel the sting of this. They put this open as well. This, as per CNBC, stock index is set to fall.
Starting point is 00:19:09 And it's not just NVIDIA, it's Microsoft, all AI-linked companies. because of that Chinese startup. And so that's going to, that's, that's a, that's a, that, it was a huge drop, in fact. They said that J.P. Morgan said that it was considerable sums of money flowing into AI, investments here in the U.S. Deep Seek's highly efficient and lower resource intensive AI has shown such significant innovation and in success. It's posing thoughts, is posing thoughts to investors that the AI investment cycle may be overhyped
Starting point is 00:19:42 in a more efficient future is possible. Big, this is a big deal. Imagine if maybe, you know, I don't know, the last administration had focused on this at all instead of focusing on everybody that was going to school board. I just imagine if they would have focused on keeping us competitive
Starting point is 00:19:55 because it's hard to think that it, that we were kind of stymied in terms of competitiveness by the last administration. Now, in addition to this, I know, we got a lot. Tulsi Gabbard has her hearing this week. There are some people that are still opposed,
Starting point is 00:20:12 that are in opposition to her. And also with RFK, I got to tell you, I know that there's an ass kissing game in this industry and that everyone is expected to play it from social media people, from people who are on TikTok, from people who do this little podcast
Starting point is 00:20:29 that cropped up last year, that little podcast, people who write, everyone is expected to join the circle of ass kissing. That's what's expected in politics today, because the right is in decide, is just absolutely
Starting point is 00:20:42 completely, you can't tell it any different from the left in this regard. Principles, yes, with certain people, but the right is starting to get very high of mind the way that the left is and I don't view that as a strength. It's like a
Starting point is 00:20:59 micro-globalism and a ideological scale. But this, I think you absolutely have, there are people who act like you have no right to ask whether or not certain nominees have changed their positions on things. And I think that you have every right to ask that.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You have every right to ask whether or not someone who blasted Second Amendment and gun owners and called them terrorists. You know, you have every right to ask whether or not they regret their remarks or if they wish to explain their 180 on an issue.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Any thinking patriot feels the same. Any thinking patriot feels the same way. It has not helped. And this is why it's important. It has not helped in the last, you know, that the last, what, 10 years, over 10 years, the left has spent the better part of that over that last decade, just absolutely obliterating boundaries between agencies and calling for mission creep and all of this other stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:06 It hasn't helped at all. And it's allowed these department agencies. to pursue agendas that are entirely unrelated to either their mission or their department purview. And that has made all of these comments a bigger issue. So specifically, for example, RFK, because his hearings are coming up and it's going to be a brawl. And he has said things like he thinks, and we've played the audio. If you don't, I mean, I'm just citing what he has said in the audio. I'm happy to play it for you again if you'd like.
Starting point is 00:22:37 But he has said that, well, he went after gun owners, said gun owners. said gun owners are terrorists. He has said that the people who run oil and gas should be put to death over global warming. And these are comments he's made. So they sound indistinguishable from anybody that you would hear on the far left. Now here's my problem.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I understand, well, blah, blah, blah, blah, big tent, but when you're talking about making someone the head of health and human services and they have an absolutely bloated budget, billions upon billions, and this is the department that for months put property owners in purgatory because they with the CDC were demanding that there be a moratorium placed on rent, not on property taxes, not on anything that property owners have to pay, but just for the people that they lease to.
Starting point is 00:23:28 So they wanted free lodging at the expense of the people who own the property that were mistakenly viewed as billionaires. and when you have an agency that has exceeded its authority and has been allowed to do so by Democrats and Republicans, when I hear someone talk about gun rights in such a negative fashion and say that people who exercise them are terrorists, which these are remarks that he said, I got to ask how that's going to factor into his job at HHS. And if you don't think it will, I'll remind you that for the past decade plus, again, the less. has tried to reclassify firearms as a health issue. They've called it a public health emergency. They colluded with the CDC to hide defensive gun usage.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Why in the ever-loving hell would I go along to get along and not demand that a nominee for that department answer for the remarks that they made, which could very well be, we could very well be directly affected by it, because that department has been allowed to exceed its authority by both sides. You have every right to ask this. Patriots don't have their heads so far up the asses of these political figures or anybody else to stop and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, we're the ones here that you've got to cater to. We're the ones that you've got to bend the need to.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Can you maybe perhaps clarify your remarks on these issues? But people in the right media are too scared to ask because they're afraid they won't get another interview. So no one's going to ask this. He won't come on our show. RFK won't come on. And I don't dislike the guy. I just want to know whether or not this is going to affect my rights, him being at HHS. No one on the right has had the balls to ask, not a single podcast host, not a single radio host. All of these people who have these positions have been absolutely irresponsible, and they have not done their due diligence for you. Not a single one of them have asked this. And like I said, we would ask him, but they will not come on our show because probably we will
Starting point is 00:25:35 ask. So I feel like I don't feel like playing nice about this anymore. I want to know if my tax dollars are going to the salary of these people and they're going to be in positions where, you know, they could, you know, theoretically do the same thing that the left has done. See, this is the problem. When you do a big tent, you got to make sure it's 80-20 and you got to make sure people's authority is limited because I'll be damned if I have someone who's trying to make nice with Republicans come down on my gun rights as a public health issue using their authority in the HHS. And I think you'd feel the same way. And I have every right to ask these questions. If I didn't ask these questions, I'd be a brain dead progressive.
Starting point is 00:26:09 And I'm not a brain dead progressive and neither are you. We have a lot more on this. What does living better mean to you? Is it more money, a bigger house? Now think about this. What about how you feel physically every day? Life is so much better when you feel good.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. We tried to tell y'all. I mean, Ali, I wrote specifically about this issue, what he was going to do to the Department of Justice multiple times during the election cycle, because as you pointed out in your open, this was all written down. So I don't like the shock and awe version of this, because if he had been paying attention, they wrote it down. They told you exactly what they were going to do and exactly how you were going to do it. And a majority of white people voted for this. This is the disgusting version of America. that people want and oh by the way

I don't know. I don't care. Don't tell me. But it's like they said, all right, hey, who's going to be our racist? That bitch is about white people all the time. How much they hate the whitties. They have a lot of those. Yeah. Who's going to be who's going to be

Starting point is 00:29:18 I'm just, I'm sure it's something smart you're about to say. Yeah, so it's, it's not like it was Trump. It's literally data. They're going by that ended in the end of December. Yeah, but that's white people. Nice try, though. You damn white people. Ellie. Yeah, that stripper is upset with you.

Starting point is 00:31:24 You know, I kind of feel like we have a lot of momentum, so there's this issue that the president, introduced which I'm supportive of to say the Constitution doesn't give birthright citizenship to people that are here illegally I think that's the right the decision of the Constitution but it's interesting not everyone likes that and so the New York Times had a hit piece going against this and here was their headline undocumented women ask will my unborn child be a citizen so the New York Times is admitting it's not just the clump of cells let's what Welcome the New York Times to the pro-life movement.
Starting point is 00:32:03 That was a good catch by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Welcome back to the program. Juan and Kane successfully beat the machines into submission. It was close, but in the end, the machines could not prevail. And so now you have the simulcast. So welcome back. It's our top of our second hour, Dana Lash, with you. Your girl's operating on a bow.
Starting point is 00:32:26 What's going to be loopy today? I'm not maybe three minutes of sleep. going to be loopy today. Stay tuned. Yeah, who knows what's going to happen? This is when, if you ever wanted to ask me a question and have the answer really just with no varnish, this is the time. But we got a lot to get into with us.
Starting point is 00:32:44 The, where to start? There's so much because now, I think, where's he just came out with something else now, too. What was the, where was this at? Trump just literally, golly, Trump can just take a beat. Damn it. You're like, doing so many things right. now. Like, he must have, he's doing so many things. There's so many activities. I can't even keep track of all of it. So the first, so we were talking about the, uh, uh, some of the executive
Starting point is 00:33:13 orders that he's been, particularly the deportations, et cetera. Uh, you got the soundbite there from, uh, DeSantis, who by the way, they started their, uh, special session today. Because remember, the Republicans there were trying to make him wait. And they didn't. didn't want to go back into work until March, which that's great if, you know, you just hate Trump and don't want and hate what he stands for and hate what people voted for and don't want to show up to do your job. That works great, right? That's kind of how I look at it. They didn't want to come to do their job. So now Republicans in Florida, they're there for the special session. It was interesting how DeSantis noted their inconsistent, their hypocrisy on that issue. But a lot. We've
Starting point is 00:34:00 got Heggseth who was confirmed. You have Radcliffe who was confirmed. Now you've got RFK and Gabbard. Their hearings coming up. We've got all of this, the issue with Columbia, there are 37 minutes. They thought they were going to be tough for 37 minutes. And that was 37 minutes of nothing. And then there, Gustav Petro got, he was very, very embarrassed after that. And then additionally, hold up, there's more. But wait, there's more. have the release. This is a story that came up over the weekend of the some of the cases that were amongst those that Biden either pardoned the sentences of or commuted. Did you guys hear about some of this? Because I just think maybe if you're the president of the United States and you're going to
Starting point is 00:34:59 pardon or commute the sentence of a violent offender. Maybe, this might be asking a lot, but maybe just vet the people before you do it, right? Like you want to make sure that you're not releasing, I don't know, an axe murderer, you know, something like that, right? I mean, it's not that hard, can, because don't we have the, uh, yeah, we got the internet. You know, you got, not only do you the internet. You got a lot of stuff. You got all kinds of ways to be able to vet someone and determine whether or not their acts murderers and whether or not they should be released. Apparently nobody in the Biden administration did that. So he commuted the sentences of about 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. Now that's the phrase. We're going to come back to that.
Starting point is 00:35:54 nonviolent drug offenses. So one of those people who was convicted and who was in jail, his name is Adrian Peeler, and he's a bad guy, a very bad guy. Adrian Peeler is his name. Now, Adrian Peeler is an individual who is classified as a nonviolent drug offender. But unfortunately, what we found out is that he's like super violent actually. I mean, I'm looking at this. He was the brother of another. His brother is also a convicted murderer. His brother ran this whole drug ring or gang out of his house. And one of the people in the gang, and this was back in 1997, his name is Rudolph Sneed. The brother of Adrian Peeler is
Starting point is 00:36:55 Russell Peeler. Russell Peeler was mad at Rudolph Sneed and then Peeler wanted to do a drive-by of Rudolph Sneed while Sneed's son was in the car and his son was like seven years old. Now, Sneed was shot but he survived. The boy's mother, Karen Clark, the little boy's name's Leroy. She brought him the boy's mother, she brought him to the police and he identified Russell Peeler as the guy who shot them. So that wasn't enough. Peeler was mad. So that was in 1997. So fast forward just a bit to 1998 and Peeler is not done with this guy. He was like, no, I'm going to finish him off. So he one afternoon bust up into a barbershop where this Rudolph Sneed is getting his haircut. And he shot. And he shot.
Starting point is 00:37:51 shoots and kills him. Now he was still facing charges related to the drive-by of that same guy just the year earlier. And he knew he was probably going to get a murder charge. The only witness now at that point was the little boy because he killed Sneed. So now Sneed's son, the seven-year-old, now eight-year-old, the little boy was the only witness now. And so Peeler, when police, police had offered her protection after she brought her son to identify Peeler and she declined and she moved her. I'm not kidding you. The house that she got was across the street from where Russell Peeler one time did his
Starting point is 00:38:36 crack recipes, right? He made his crack and his meth and all that stuff. So Peeler was like, okay, we got to kill the mother and the son. I'm wearing an ankle monitor. I can't leave the house. So you guys got to do it. So he got his brother, Adrian Peeler, to do it. So he, I mean, he ambushed them.
Starting point is 00:38:58 In January of 1999, the mom and her little boy were coming back from, I don't know if they were out of the grocery store or where they were going back to their apartment. All police know is that they found the little boy with a bullet hole in the back of his head, collapsed on the stairs. And they found the mom full of gunshots. Her arms outstretched. her hand was reaching for a phone on the ground that was just out of her reach. And this is all from the CT post.com. And Peeler beat, he didn't, they didn't get in the top murder charge. He served 25 years in state.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Karen Clark's brother was shocked because Adrian Peeler was one of the guys that Joe Biden parted. A guy who gunned down a little boy shot him in the back of the head and shot the mother filled her with bullets. That's one of the guys that Joe Biden actually called a nonviolent drug offender. And he was one of the 2,500 people that Biden commuted the sentences of. Now, later Adrian Peeler was trying to convince police that he felt bad. Does anyone believe that he felt bad? Like his brother asked him to commit this murder, he didn't feel bad enough to not do it.
Starting point is 00:40:30 He didn't feel bad enough to try to convince his brother otherwise. He shot a little kid in the back of the head and shot up a woman. So that's how in the world. Now see, here's what the weird thing was. So the brother was shocked, and this is per the associate of press who spoke with him Wednesday of last week. He said, my family's distraught, were traumatized all over again. And nobody really knows.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I mean, it is kind of weird. How does this Adrian Peeler guy come to Biden's attention? How does Biden pay attention to this? How did he get there? And the president did not disclose, former president did not disclose, per the AP, specific reasons as to why he commuted the guy's sentence. Apparently, he was convicted on two separate sets of charges.
Starting point is 00:41:20 So per, I think reason touched on the CT post has it as well. Twitchy mentioned it. The murder charge was state. He got 25 years for a state. It was murder in the state. He completed that in 21. He had some drug trafficking charges, all of this stuff. But per CT post, Peeler was eventually only convicted of conspiring to kill the mother and son.
Starting point is 00:41:43 He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He remained there for a 35-year sentence for drug dealing. It was the sentence for drug dealing charges that Biden commuted on Friday. And that's how he had his quote-unquote nonviolent drug charge, kind of struck. I mean, you got to look, you have to ignore the cold-blooded
Starting point is 00:42:02 murder of a mother and her young child. But he should, he's going to get released this year. He was supposed to have been in prison until, like, after 2034,
Starting point is 00:42:17 he's going to get released this year. You know, he's a non-violent drug offender. I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes. He shot a mother and a child. But he's a non-violent drug offender because he drug offender. because, see, drugs don't ever cause lead to violence, right? Drugs only harm the person taking the drugs.
Starting point is 00:42:32 That's what I've always been told by people who want to keep doing it, right? That's what they say, Kane. They say, no, no, no, the only people who are nonviolent offenses. That's what I'm told by capital L's. Yeah. Well, the capital Ls say a lot. Yeah. I mean, then this seven-year-old boy magically got shot in the back of a skull.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Imagine that. That's crazy. You know, a guy was so nonviolent. This is one of the people that Joe Biden, and he commuted a sense. So this dude, this murderer is going to be out this week, or not this week this year. Probably this spring.
Starting point is 00:43:05 And guys, do you know what? It's so weird. Do you know who hasn't written about this? Okay, the Washington Post mentioned it like twice. That was it. No one's talked about this. You're not going to find this story on CNN. And you won't find it on MSNBC.
Starting point is 00:43:24 They're too busy focusing on, fat racist that want to blame white people for egg prices. They're not focusing on the story. They don't care. How is it? You know, when I made this remark that the media loves crying mothers, they absolutely do. Oh, that made them mad. But they do.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Except if they disturb their narrative. That's why you're not going to get any footage or any headlines about this murder, this Connecticut murder. You're not going to hear about the mother of the grandmother. They're going to hear about her crying. the mother and the little boy. Just that's going to be just a quick footnote and they're going to walk right on by it. But they spent an inordinate amount of time covering the January 6 pardons.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Nobody who was pardoned in January 6 shot a little 7-year-old in the back of the head and riddled a mother with bullets. You know that? Nobody did that. The guy in the Buffalo head, he didn't shoot a 7-year-old in the back of the head. Nobody did. They, in fact, they weren't even armed. But that's all that the press cares about.
Starting point is 00:44:31 They're ignoring. And believe you me, this is not the only quote unquote nonviolent offender that's in this 2,500 list. There are some real monsters that are going to be back out on the streets because of Joe Biden. And I'm not talking about his son, Hunter. We have more to come as we roll towards the bottom of this second hour. I got Ivermectin, and you know that Ivermectin, they talk about it in terms of prevention, etc.

Starting point is 00:46:06 And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. I have to tell you, this was, I thought this was funny, this quick headline here that I have, I don't have it on the rundown, but it says that millennials and Gen X, they're actually more interested in sharing their wealth with their heirs now. And boomers want to wait. until they're dead. It was a survey that was done by Charles Schwab and it says that millennials and Gen Xers want to transfer wealth to the next generation while they're living. Baby boomers are like, nope, we're going to wait until we're dead. That's a very interesting generational divide. I don't know how I feel, I don't know where I am on that. Like, I don't know. It's just,
Starting point is 00:46:46 yeah. So, all right, moving on, moving on. Um, let's see here. This, uh, of course, that's not I'm going to pull up a cord. It's not. It's, oh, okay, here we go. So the, let's see, this. Sorry, give me a moment. Ooh, tuberculosis in Kansas. This outbreak is now the largest in recorded history for the United States. This is, according to local press there, they're dealing with, that's actually not, it's a peak of capital journal. Ongoing tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas has become the largest in the recorded history of the United States. They're saying that they're dealing. with this, this epidemic. And moving from there, nothing wants to open. You know what? I might actually, if this can't open, I might actually cut to break a little earlier, because this is a little crazy. We're having major tech issues. Bear with us. Elementary school student goes permanently blind because they ate too many chicken nuggets. I don't even know how that happens. How do you go, you're not supposed to eat them with your eyes. You don't stick them in your eye balls. This isn't Malaysia. A child went permanently blind. They said it was overall due to
Starting point is 00:47:52 a healthy diet. But they said that the kid went blind because he ate too many attendees. Sure, I'll believe it. I don't care. Let's see. Crime Lab analyst altered DNA evidence in hundreds of cases according to prosecutors. This is a piece that's over at
Starting point is 00:48:08 MSN, which brings, I mean, again, more questions about the different tiers of justice in the consistency of good justice in our system. This was in the Colorado Bureau of Investigations where they found this. Stick with us. We've got more store as we move our partners that help bring you the program it's our friends over at keltec the
Starting point is 00:48:26 pr it's a 5-7 they call it the 57 and there's reasons for that but i'm not going to get into it right now this is the coolest i finally got to see it i don't have it yet i will this is one of the coolest and guns i've ever seen it's uh if you've ever dreamed so like me as a woman in my mind i'm like way bigger than i am in terms of you know muscle mass than everything else in height but in reality I'm not. I'm like, I lie in saying I'm 5.7. We'll go with that. And, you know, I weigh about a buck 20. So when I'm trying, if I carrying something, I have to make sure that it's like super compact if I'm carrying on my person. Women just dressed differently than dudes. And my dream has always been able to carry, like concealed carry a 5-7, right? I think I'm actually able to do this with the PR 57 from Keltec. This thing is so lightweight and so thin. It's crazy. They changed concealed carry back in 95. They're the inventors of the concealed compact pistol category and they did it again with this PR 57. So it loads from the top. And here's the crazy thing. So there's not, it doesn't use magazines. It uses legit stripper clips. I've never even loaded anything with the stripper clip until this weekend. So I'm really excited about this because
Starting point is 00:49:31 that makes it lighter and thinner. And I think George Kellgren is like in the best way to say it, an absolute mad scientist, a super nice guy.

Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants or all these refugees have been
Starting point is 00:50:13 properly vetted. In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then we're literally planning terrorist attacks on our country. That happened during the campaign, if you may remember. So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted. But there are 30,000 people in the pipeline Afghan refugees. But my primary concern as the Vice President Margaret is to look after the American people. And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country. These people are not good.
Starting point is 00:50:45 These people are vetted. Just like the guy who played a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago, he was allegedly properly vetted. And many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted. Clearly he wasn't. I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted. And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not going to force any other American citizens' kids to do that either. No, and that was a very particular case. It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I don't really care, Margaret. I don't want that person in my country. and I think most Americans agree with me. I don't really care, Margaret. That reminded me of, why is the carpet wet? Todd. I don't know, Margo. I don't care, Margaret.
Starting point is 00:51:27 That's true. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this, or sorry, bottom of the second hour. Coast to Coast, Channel 347 Drag TV, Rumbles where the chat is. The interview with, what was that, MSNBC, Face the Asian?
Starting point is 00:51:44 I thought that was interesting, how she had to kind of, have she had to step back and re-evaluate and say, oh yeah, actually, he wasn't vetted. But that was kind of a one-off. You don't even know it's a one-off. You absolutely have no confirmation that it's a, that it's a one-off at all, none at all whatsoever. You don't know. You, it just seems, you know, there are a lot of these refugees that are like this, that you, you cannot guarantee where We don't have the infrastructure over there to actually make those determinations on records, and it's very important that we do so. But that was a very, I thought there was a very good sound bite from that.
Starting point is 00:52:27 And that interview there with J.D. Vance. So the excuse that it was a one-off, it wasn't a one-off, and there's a lot of data that says to the contrary. And yes, there are some absolutely that helped our military, did all of that, helped them out, were able to, that were a major part of these operations, and I completely get that. But there are some that somehow just got into all of it, got incorporated into all of it, and it's not the same. And the ones that have been vetted, the system here, it's not like the Biden administration did anything to help. that system run. It's not like they did anything to help make sure that the system was going to, that we were going to be able to get those people who actually legitimately did work with our armed forces in, in exchange to become American citizens. Those are some of the deals that are made.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Those aren't the people so much of Vance is talking about. But he makes a good point. Like, no, you should not have to accept anybody unvetted in your country. Why are we even having a debate about this dumb-ass issue? You know why it's dumb? Because it shouldn't even be an issue. That's why. It should not even be an issue. Not at all. Things are changing. I'm telling you. They're changing quickly. I have a few other things to get. We've got the interesting story from Politico. The Trump agenda is about to hit a make or break moment. I think that this is true. I think it's true because he's got to keep up the speed. He has to also outmaneuver deep state. And that's the other part of that. So I think that's why he's starting with the flurry of EOs and then moving into
Starting point is 00:54:15 legislation with all of it. And they're starting fast and furious with the DEI in the military. Audio sound bite 15. This is one of the remarks that now, SecDef Hegsseth, by the way, can you say that fast? Seckdef Heg Seth. Yeah. That is tough. Right? I hadn't thought about that ahead of time. He talks about removing DEI inside of the Pentagon. Listen. And today there are more executive orders coming that we fully support on removing DEI inside the Pentagon, reinstating troops who were pushed out because of COVID mandates, Iron Dome for America. This is happening quickly. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Hmm. So that's happening fast. Yeah. And then on top of it. So we've got the DEI that's being, I'm curious. I'm curious as to how that's going to also impact a lot of these higher-ups, these officers that had the lipstick and they were doing these videos. Like, you guys know what I'm talking about. One of them was in the Air Force, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:55:25 The Air Force chap, who was wearing the skirt and had the makeup on and all the pen. I'm curious as to what, does it mean that those people are now out? How is this? I want more details. We're going to talk more about it. I want more details. But in addition to that, wait, hold up. Now we also have an EO, and this just came what, within the last half hour.
Starting point is 00:55:50 He's going to sign an executive order to begin the process of creating a next generation missile defense shield, an iron dome for America, so to speak. Now, this will have to go through the house. This is a spending package that, I mean, that requires, or it requires, even if you're not asking for new funds, to pay for it, it has to do anything with money. It's got to go through the house. And this will have to go through the house regardless. That's something that I can't see depending on what's all in it and if there's budget creep, so to speak, and it balloons out of control, it's not going to go anywhere. But something just a straight missile defense shield. How does that do with drones? I'm wondering. I mean, I know that they, you know, they'll
Starting point is 00:56:39 kind of react in the Iron Dome way of taking out those rockets, but I'm curious as to drones. Will it do that as well? Oh, God. The Iron Done system that Israel has has been very, very effective. You know, it's a partnership that we have the United States along with Israeli military. So we're able to really glean a lot from that. We have them carried out. We're partnership with it.
Starting point is 00:57:06 We, you know, co-basically, it's like co-IP ownership. but this is something that needs to be done because warfare is changing. I am curious about the drone aspect, though, because I feel like it would be drones before it would be missiles or rockets if there was any kind of war declared on the United States. Back to this political piece. The hit the Trump agenda hitting a make or break moment, a lot of Republicans are heading to Miami. They're going to Marlauago and elsewhere because they have to determine. determine what they can deliver on with the Trump agenda and what they can't.
Starting point is 00:57:46 So they're having to figure out, excuse me, everything that they have to lay out everything that they're going to be pushing for before the 2026 midterms. They're actually not going to be at Marlago, they're going to be at the Doral. They have to finalize their budget blueprint for a bill that touches on energy and border security and tax policy. Now here's where it gets real, going to get sticking. And this is what I'm going to be watching. They have to decide what go in that package, what, what's going in the package and what is it.
Starting point is 00:58:20 The price tag of Trump's priorities is going to hit about $10 trillion in over 10 years. That and then you have a necessary debt ceiling, what they call a necessary debt ceiling increase, the debate on debt ceiling that's happening. That's going to have to happen. So I want to be cautious because I feel like we have to make sure that we're cutting spending at the same rate that we're spending. This was my big concern back in 2016 because the administration started very strong, cutting a lot of these bureaucratic agencies, cutting back on a lot of the regulation, etc., making it to where business could be performed easier. but there was a lot of spending, a lot of spending, and this was even pre-COVID. And that put us in a tricky position. And my concern was that Democrats were going to say, look at all the spending or look at all the tax cuts.
Starting point is 00:59:20 The tax cuts are costing. They were going to ignore the fact that the spending was going at a massive rate and focus only on the tax cuts and act like that was the thing that cost. And that's exactly what they did. And that's why they were able to convince so many people to go along with tax hikes. so we've got to be careful that we don't do that this time around. So whatever fiscal blueprint we're setting, I mean, we have to have an identical list of cuts elsewhere. This is going to have to be money that's reallocated.
Starting point is 00:59:50 And you can't tell me that there isn't a budget somewhere in all of the spending to make that happen. I don't believe it if it was denied. So they have to get, they have to discuss a reconciliation package. they have to discuss funding for 25A, whether or not they're going to hike the debt limit. They have to talk about California wildfire aid. Now, Trump said over the weekend, and he reiterated during his rally on Saturday, that if California wants federal aid, they need to make sure that the integrity of their vote is protected, so incorporate voter ID.
Starting point is 01:00:24 There were some people who were moaning about this on X, and I was trying to stay off for the weekend, social media, because last week was a humdinger. We were very busy. But the comments, even from some people on the right on this, I thought were, it's a little weird. He's talking about they have to get this wildfire aid done. In order to do that, we need to see some voter ID. And people were saying, but that's a state issue because states get to manage and direct their elections.
Starting point is 01:00:59 States get to control their voting. States get to, well, that's all well and good. And yes, that is absolutely correct. You are correct. States control the voting. States can make, and that's something that is afforded to them and affirmed by the Constitution of the United States. But, but what guarantees can governments like the government of Illinois give to me a voter in Texas that the people they have voting? are actually the people that are voting. Because, see, they have no way to confirm states that don't require ID to vote. You have no guarantees to offer anybody.
Starting point is 01:01:49 So it makes me a little bit more reluctant to consider the ballot summations from those states as accurate ones. Because they have fallen for the trick that unless they make their elections easier to steal, they're racist, right? So the question then is, why do you think you're entitled for states or for people who don't believe in voter ID? Why do you think you are entitled to our certification of your ballots and our acceptance
Starting point is 01:02:29 of your ballots, we who are in states that uphold voter. integrity and demand things like identification to vote. Ah, see, the Constitution affords you the ability to run your elections as you see fit. What the Constitution doesn't afford you is the power to demand that everyone else accept your results when you very clearly don't prioritize voter integrity. And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the friction. So those people who are complaining about this, they only got one part of the equation correct.
Starting point is 01:03:08 That's why it's important to read these things and pay attention to what is in it and what is not in it. So you are not owed. Just say that we have someone in our audience who doesn't believe in voter ID. That person is not owed our acceptance of their vote if they have no way to prove the integrity of their vote. you see how that works so you can do it however you would like to but the law does not afford you the power
Starting point is 01:03:44 to demand that we accept it and that is why ladies and gentlemen it is important to practice good statesmanship and to be good state leaders and to be above board where it concerns the integrity of the vote because while states can and do and absolutely have the right right to manage and orchestrate and run their own elections. They do not have the right to demand that we all accept it on its face without any kind of validation. And there is the problem. We have more to come. We have Florida man on the way as we rolled towards a conclusion of the second hour.

A Florida attorney allegedly attacked the father of a girl who caught in front of him in the buffet line at a meat station. Oh gosh, how do I do this?
Starting point is 01:06:16 If anybody is missing any kind of like cheek meat or forehead meat or neck meat, it's because this gentleman has it all. Mark Rower, he is facing one kind of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to Palm Beach County, jail. It occurred on January 18th at a wedding in Boca Raton at a country club there. Miami New Times said that the defendant was in line at the prime rib carving station when two young girls cut in front of him. He got angry about being cut in front of, confronted the father of one of the girls, and then it went down there downhill from there. The deputy wrote, quote, the slimmer man ignored the man yelling at him and did not respond. And without provocation, the large bald man struck the slimmer man on the head with a dinner plate. And from there on, a mail
Starting point is 01:07:00 They began between a large number of the wedding guests. Yeah, and they got separated and they said, and apparently it was supposed to be a dry party. All bets are off when there's a prime rib station though. All bets are off. I don't care if there's no liquor there. All bets are off during a prime rib station event. Prime rib station event. I repeat prime rib.

Starting point is 01:09:02 I don't know what to do. Oh, my gosh. I've never seen like. I try everything I promise. When she's, so Selena Gomez films an attention-seeking video of herself crying. And she's so upset. And she says, my people. I thought she was an American.
Starting point is 01:09:20 Am I wrong? Is she a Mexican national? I just ask you, is she illegal? Yeah. I mean, are you an illegal immigrant? What are you talking about my people? Criminal illegal. You're American.
Starting point is 01:09:29 What are you talking about? My people. are getting attacked. What do you mean attacked? Like Lake and Riley attack? Like attacked like Lake and Riley? Or maybe is she talking about attacked like Rachel Nungary? I mean, what do you mean? attacked? Like those attack like that? Because telling someone that if you enter a sovereign country, like Mexico, for instance, that you'll be deported. That's not attacking someone. That's saying you broke the law. actually you attacked us because you broke the law now we're returning you home welcome back Dana lash here with you at the top of this third hour I get these when I see people make videos
Starting point is 01:10:13 like this first off Selena Gomez is attention seeking this she is desperate for attention she is desperate for public validation her the I think some people just have such low that they mistake it for like mental instability in some respects honestly i don't know she has such a a thirst for public adoration and i guess that's why she like is recording herself crying did she record herself crying for rachel nungary because i looked and i don't see anything like that I didn't see her crying about Rachel Morin. I didn't see people making videos of themselves crying into their phones over this. I didn't see that.
Starting point is 01:11:11 I mean, this is horrible. Sorry, I said Rachel Nungary. I meant Jocelyn Nungary. Rachel's the mother. Jocelyn was 12 years old and she was murdered by two illegal. immigrants who were from Venezuela. They left her little body in a shallow creek. That wasn't apparently sad enough for Selena Gomez to cry over. She was strangled, assaulted. I can't imagine. But there were no tears for how 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungary was killed, not from Selena Gomez.
Starting point is 01:11:53 She's worried about her people being attacked. I don't, she's an American, but whatever. but what about 12-year-old Jocelyn Hungary? Imagine being her mother and the tears. But no, she didn't record any footage for that. She didn't record any footage for Lake and Riley. She was murdered when she was out jogging in Georgia. 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela. He kidnapped her.
Starting point is 01:12:27 She was assaulted, violated. She was strangled. She was beaten to death. Left. Had her whole life out of her 22-year-old nursing student. I didn't see any tears from Selena Gomez for Lake and Riley. I didn't see any tears for Selena Gomez from her about the officer who was struck and killed by a drunk driving illegal immigrant while the officer stopped to help a motorist. I didn't see, I didn't see any tears from Selena Gomez about that.
Starting point is 01:13:02 that. Notice how she doesn't even actually identify what she thinks is being attacked. She just talks about my people and it's about me, me, me. It's performative. It's theater. Selina Gomez is a bad actress and her, I'm going to record myself. I mean, it's like, it's like something like, I'm going to use my phone case. It's like, wait a minute. My checks and my hair is okay. I can't. I can't. It is vapid, shallow, ditsy, and embarrassing. It's performative theater that's callous and completely disregards the real pain, the actual trauma, and the real attacks of people like Rachel Moran, a people like Jocelyn Nungry, of people like Lake and Riley.
Starting point is 01:13:59 All females. Are those not your people? I just, any reservations I had about, you know, maybe not being courteous to where they're gone after that video. That's shameful. Imagine being so self-obsessed that you post a video of yourself bawling about this stuff. I can't, God help me if I ever do. That will be your sign that I am possessed by a Martian.
Starting point is 01:14:26 If that ever happens. If I ever post a video where I'm crying about anything, that's your sign that I'm possessed by a Martian. Send help. Golly. But that's the whole point. You realize that that's one of the reasons why this has to be. done, correct? These executive orders. And it's for people who entered the country illegally. Would you allow someone to enter your home illegally without your knowledge? I mean, if you're not okay with that,
Starting point is 01:14:58 then you should feel the same about the border. If you think the border should be open, but your house shouldn't be open, you're a racist hypocrite. You are. That's just like how these people operate. They only want border towns to deal with us. They only want other Hispanic families to deal with us. That's that they also don't realize. The people who are disproportionately affected by the crime that is just, that stems from illegal immigration are Hispanic communities. Jocelyn Ungary. She wasn't a blonde-headed, blue-eyed Connecticut resident. You know what I mean? it's it's sad where's the protection for those women those girls no we got selina gomez up here who would love to make money off them by the way she would love to sell them a trinket or a made in china
Starting point is 01:15:58 concert t-shirt or something you know maybe like a direct to DVD or direct to streaming you know thing that she's in she would love to sell them that but that's where the concern stops i just that's disgusting shame on her over there crying of course leave it to Selena Gomez to make it all about herself again because everything is about Selena wrong Selena so yeah you got it because you're a real one that's why because you got it good night where is all of the all of the people who are complaining and criticizing like Margaret Brennan's discussion with J.D. Vance where's the where's the care and concern for all of the for everybody else I have other things I want to get it to as well
Starting point is 01:16:49 here because the pull that bear with me I've got a million windows open I wanted to get to a couple of other things because we've been discussing all of the everything as it pertains to the cabinet picks we were talking about Colombia a little bit earlier
Starting point is 01:17:05 37 minutes standoff Columbia yields to US deportation flights to avert a trade war yeah good for you Brazil slammed the US after dozens of deportees arrived in handcuffs am I supposed to feel like upset about that or something? Am I supposed to? I don't know. Am I? The Brazil's very upset. They were
Starting point is 01:17:28 very upset with the United States. They expressed outraged on Saturday after dozens of immigrants deported arrived in handcuffs. They said it was a flagrant disregard for their rights. No, no, no, hold up. Hold up here, mouchacho. Number one, you don't have rights when you come into this country illegally. You don't have them. And if you're in this country illegally, you don't have rights. You don't. Don't act like you do. You don't get forced into conscription. You don't have to deal with that. You don't have to do jury duty.
Starting point is 01:18:00 You don't have to pay the property taxes that we all pay. You don't have to do a number of things that American citizens are forced to do that you don't as someone who's in the country illegally. So, hell no, you have no rights. Become a citizen. Do it the right way. Get here legally. You know what? they are lucky they didn't get their ass beat
Starting point is 01:18:22 and that they didn't have their shirts pulled over their heads and they weren't left like the cartels usually leave them. How about that? Is that where we got to go with this? I'm totally fine with it, by the way. I'm all about going full on Vladrakoul. You just let me know how we do this. I'll match your energy. I feel like that's something
Starting point is 01:18:38 that you could say in the United States actually will. Brazilian authorities were, they were so distraught, you guys. Immediately removed the handcuffs, they said dramatically. the justice minister, Ricardo Lewandowski, Lewandowski, very Brazilian name.
Starting point is 01:18:58 He says, The flagrant disregard for the fundamental rights of Brazilian citizens. What rights do you have in the United States as a Brazilian citizen when you illegally enter? It's rhetorical because the answer is none. None. You have none.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Brazil will request explanations from the U.S. government. Do you know what I would do? You know what I would do? We've got copier machines, right, still? Yeah. Yeah, I would either What I would probably do is
Starting point is 01:19:28 Hold my middle finger up to the The glass and I would Xerox that and then send it off To Brazil But I would do it like on presidential paper with the seal If they ask for X, you know Like leaflets out of the plane just drop Yeah, yeah, yeah, like here's our explanation And it's just a Xerox of my middle finger
Starting point is 01:19:51 something we can do. I feel like Trump, this actually is where he probably will beat me in terms of classing it up because he won't do that probably. It would be based if he did. Seems inexpensive too. I mean, I would literally enter their country illegally
Starting point is 01:20:04 to get one of those leaflets and then bring it back to the United States so I could have it as a keepsake. That's how much I want this to happen. But again, I don't get everything I want. It's all right. But they're demanding explanations. Listen to the language.
Starting point is 01:20:18 The degrading treatment of passengers. Bitch, they enter. the country illegally. I'm not apologizing for my Portuguese on this, by the way. You know what that word means. It means sir or ma'am when I say it like that. They said that there were 88 Brazilians aboard the aircraft. They were very upset. And they were like, they didn't give us water. They didn't give us food. Oh my gosh. You mean you didn't, you weren't able to get a T-bone steak, cooked to your specifications and a cocktail on the plane, the free plane ride that you got after you broke into our country? Wow. How would you treat?
Starting point is 01:20:51 someone who broke up into your house, who busted up into your house without your permission. How would you do? How would you treat that person? Do they have rights in your home? What do they contribute to your house? Do they got rights in your home? It's a serious question because some people think that the border and that are two different things. And they are not. They try to act like they are because they can't hold up their argument for the border. So they, yeah, they were already, maybe they'll learn their lesson. Don't enter illegally. And you don't have that happen to you. Wow. You know that one audio soundbite that I always make fun of came? This year is all about like realizing stuff and me and my friends are just like realizing things. Maybe all these people that
Starting point is 01:21:33 entered the country illegally are going to start, I don't know, like realizing stuff and it's like the year of realizing things. Maybe that'll happen for them. Maybe. But I want more of this. I like this. This is how I bet I guarantee you they're going to think twice though. These 88 people, Don't you think so? Guarantee. We have more on the way as we rolled awards the bottom of this third hour. Ooh, we got Stephen Yates coming up because I desperately need to ask him about the messaging that the Ayatollah is sending out to everyone. I feel like they're a little nervous about the White House right now.
Starting point is 01:22:07 They're telling everyone in Iran. Iran's telling Hezbollah and Hamas like, whoa, slow your roll here, chaps. Everybody just take it down. Take it down a few thousand. notches. Like everybody be cool here, right? Everybody be cool. You cool, honey, bunny, be cool. Everybody be cool. It's like that scene
Starting point is 01:22:26 from Pulp Fiction, right, when Sam Jackson just takes over. So they're really worried about what's coming next. We're going to talk to Stephen Yates coming up as we move the folks who will bring you free programming. And it is true. I have
Starting point is 01:22:42 zero problem using lethal force to protect myself or my family. But there are times, and I have friends that have lived this life. You know, they do everything right. They go and they get their, you know, LTC that they have to get when they're New York or in D.C. But because of the nature of their job, they have to go to a lot of places where it's either private property gun-free zone or a municipal restriction. And as a result, they don't want to be left completely defenseless, especially because these areas also coincidentally happen to be high crime. Both of the, but my friends that I know did this, they got the Berna SD, independent of each other.
Starting point is 01:23:15 That's Berna's best-selling self-defense option. It's shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And they have different models, but the Burna SD is the most popular. And it's a good addition, you know, just to your diversified self-defense weapons array, as I said. And there's no, they don't care about Gun-Free Zone signs. I mean, burn a gun, just, if it had a middle finger, it would give one to the Gun-Free Zone signs. No background checks, no permits. They can ship it right to your door, no waiting period. So you don't ever have to be made defenseless. anybody. And that's where Burna comes in.

Starting point is 01:24:51 I saw a movie about this, I think. A boy was scolded for not doing homework reports his father for drug use. Okay. Well, he got in trouble because he wasn't doing his homework, so he took revenge by calling the police and telling him that his dad was hiding forbidden drugs.
Starting point is 01:25:08 What in the world? The 10-year-old boy got mad, went right to the store, asked to use the phone. Fifth grader dialed, this is in China, dialed, and reported his dad.

Starting point is 01:26:41 that was most likely a lab league, a research experiment? versus naturally occurring virus that results in the COVID pandemic. Well, you know, the Biden administration really has been an impediment to getting to the answer here. Congress passed and- Right, but Congress passed and the Biden administration signed an order declassifying the information concerning the lab leak theory and the issues with respect to COVID origins. And the administration still refused to release it. I think this is a great start. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:12 And really, it's been unfortunate that the administration has been slow. This is a good turning point because clearly this was not of natural origins. I'm sorry. Are we pretending that everything that we've already known for how long came over four years now? Are we just now pretending that it's okay to pretend that we just now realized it? We're pretending to pretend that we're just now realizing it. I mean, we all knew this, that it came from China, that it came from Wuhan.
Starting point is 01:27:41 Everyone did the CCP's bidding. All the people who were like, no. this wasn't from Wuhan. It wasn't lab league. It wasn't bio-warfare. You guys just did the CCP's bidding. How does it feel to be good little G-Stooges? You don't want you guys all go out and get you all some Winnie the Pooh outfits, right? That way you can just be just like your dear leader.
Starting point is 01:28:01 All right. That makes me so mad. Let's go to Stephen Yates, our very, very good friend who's Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He is an expert on all things China. And he worked in not one, but two presidential. administration. So whenever anyone tries to go, you're wrong. I'm like, here's what Stephen just said on my show. So it's
Starting point is 01:28:21 my proof. It's good to see you, my friend. I just, I wanted to get your reaction to this because it's not, you know, I don't mean to talk just about like us in the United States. Like, we knew this. Literally the world knew it. Everybody knew the origin of this. And they
Starting point is 01:28:37 pretended for some stupid reason for so long that this wasn't the case. Why is it now okay? For people to say, well, looks like this Labelibli theory is true. Now it's okay. Well, I think we've had a partial thawing in the TDS that just took over the whole world, really, because a lot of what you described was a part of people just taking hook, line, and sinker what Xi Jinping was selling. But it was that America and a lot of our allies
Starting point is 01:29:07 had allowed their minds to be so warped that they only saw things through the lens of their caricature of Trump. And so COVID was the Trump virus. And everything that needed to be done was to shut everything down and isolate people, take our kids out of class. And if you are questioning or against all those things, we are part of the cult of Trump. And so their cult said. And sadly, I saw this go around the world where, yes, scientists everywhere knew where
Starting point is 01:29:37 this was coming from. The people in textile industry in northern Italy, know immediately it was coming from China, they got zapped first and just got really, really rocked by COVID and their economy. But we just had willful ignorance for a long time. I think this election, by the margin of victory that Trump and his coalition made it through, I think it's made some people thaw a bit. But yes, we knew immediately in 2020 that this was not a natural occurrence. We knew immediately where it came from.
Starting point is 01:30:11 And we knew it wasn't Asian hate to say that it comes from the country of the People's Republic of China. And we paid dearly for that political correct warped mindset. But now, thankfully, some people are rediscovering the obvious four years later, millions of deaths later, trillions of dollars cost later. It's infuriating to see this. And now I mean, and I think what you said is important that they, I guess the TDS is kind of thawed or people are starting to realize, okay, well, maybe it's, you know, it's a little bit better than what it was. All right, fine, we'll give them that.
Starting point is 01:30:50 It's just, it's the weirdest thing that now we get to talk about it without being called conspiracy theorists or as you were talking about racist, bigots, et cetera. I wanted to ask you, too, about this stuff with Wall Street and Silicon Valley about the deep seek, Chinese, the CCP's deep seek, their AI startup, they said that they've got, that they were able to develop an advanced model at a fraction of the cost of its U.S. counterparts. And this is rocking Wall Street. I feel like this is something everyone, especially that industry. I mean, they were not better prepared for something like this so we could have like a bulwark or something ahead of having Wall Street get rocked by Deep Seek being released. Yeah. Well, I mean, first and foremost, they have got to
Starting point is 01:31:35 take CCP talking points at face value. That is definitely the case. that there was a big effort to steal technology, steal access to models. And it turns out by stealing, you're not paying as much for R&D. And you can kind of get ahead. That part is, as Don Rumsfeld would have said, a known known. And shame on anyone in Wall Street or Silicon Valley that thought any differently. But I really doubt that they got as far ahead as they said or as cheaply as they said. I still think it should be a wake-up call.
Starting point is 01:32:08 it still should be a reminder that the people who pray at the high church of arms control and kind of export control regimes it's good to have those restrictions you have to look at in the real world is this working and the answer is no it's not and that's why you end up with mr tariff man in charge because we have to start putting barriers and penalties in place because the old rules-based order didn't work and it's cost us too much so technically i mean China's bragging about stolen IP that they've used and incorporated into their work models and then bragging that it costs, it's cheaper for them because they did steal most of it. Yeah. Yeah, they stole it. And so they had maybe sometimes access that was given to them,
Starting point is 01:33:00 that shouldn't have been given to them to different things. But to my understanding, these AI models sort of feed off of inputs from massive data sources. And the more they have access to, the more accurate and intelligent, I put in air quotes, the intelligence, the models can get. And so if you have all of the inhuman, unethical models that the CCP runs inside China, together with the free world free market models that they got improper access to, yeah, they can undercut you on price and get somewhat ahead. But, you know, I think that with the president announcing this new initiative with hundreds
Starting point is 01:33:44 of billions of dollars of investment to get the infrastructure going here, that is the down payment on blowing doors on whatever they got so far. And hopefully the luminaries of Wall Street and Silicon Valley and the alliance that they make get smart about you can't have exposure and leakage with the CCP you're going to have to do this among the free world you're going to have to give up the china dream that somehow two 2.4 billion armpits are somehow going to buy your technology and you're going to get rich by accessing that market you're going to have to stick with free people and free markets yeah uh we're talking with our very good friends stephen yates at yates comes on x i want to switch gears here uh and
Starting point is 01:34:31 get your opinions on what, I think this was Politico that had this. They were discussing the Iranian regime telling Hamas and Hezbollah and everyone else. Okay, everybody slow your role a little bit. There's, we got to get our bearings here. We really feel like this guy could mess us up. Let's all just kind of, they didn't say just like that. But the message is that all their little terror surrogates need to calm down so that they can see what the lay of the land. I thought that was very interesting because one of the article that I was reading quoted someone in the regime saying, well, the United States is now an existential threat to Iran.
Starting point is 01:35:10 I wanted to get your thoughts on this. Well, number one, I hope this is shoved down the throat of all the people that sold the false narrative for the last four years that somehow the adults were in charge and America is back and all the brilliant diplomacy that was on display when the bad guys are open. confessing that they weren't at all scared. And we knew that they weren't because they murdered people during that period with impunity. And they got money in exchange for all of that. And it turns out even bad guys aren't completely dense. They know who hit them before. And they're scared of the way Donald Trump used power before. And they sense maybe against the TDS inflicted's better judgment that he's actually more powerful now with a larger mandate, a broader coalition, and a lot of aggrieved Americans who are fed up with taking it on the chin from
Starting point is 01:36:10 people around the world. And he's willing to use power. They know it. And he's also willing to let our allies do it. That means Israel does what it needs to do to address its interests with regard to Iran, and the United States will also. So they're right to have that concern. It's pretty nice to have a new sheriff in town, one that doesn't want to get into wars, but is willing to let people know, we have power and we're going to use it to don't challenge us.
Starting point is 01:36:36 Amen to that. That's it entirely. Stephen Yates at Yates Com's, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Always so good to see you, my friend. We're grateful for your time. As every week, you're so nice to us. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:36:48 Thank you, Dana. Thank you. You too. And that's a very good point. that he made there as well, our very good friend, because that's, just stop for a minute, think about it. China steals,
Starting point is 01:37:00 not just our IP, everybody's IP, and then they create this open AI or this, this, you know, the beginning of this, bragging about that it's developed at a cheaper cost than current American models. But it's all with our
Starting point is 01:37:20 IP. That's so C.C. how very CCP of them. How very CCP of them entirely. I ordered, I got Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. You can get all kinds of antibiotics and all that stuff too at all family pharmacy. And I started taking it before I went to shot show. Your girl, the germaphobe. It is. Kane, is this not the first shot show I've ever come back from? Not Sick. That is true. In a while. Yeah, it's been a couple of years. I am like a Martian right now. I feel like I should be studied for health benefits. I'm just tired because I got three minutes of sleep. But I got Ivermectin and you know that Ivermectin. They talk about it in terms of prevention,
Starting point is 01:37:59 etc. It's simple, fast and affordable to get it on All-Family Pharmacy. These are doctors that you work with, like actual doctors, not like big pharma type doctors. And when you visit All-Family Pharmacy.com, you can use codeine and get 10% off your whole order. So I was taking my Ivermectin that I got from them. They've also helped me out like over Thanksgiving when I, I couldn't get into my doctor. And I know I'm getting strut throat. I know it's a thing. And I was able to get the antibiotics I need because I've been to this gut rodeo before
Starting point is 01:38:27 and their doctor was able to sign off. They sent it like in a day and a half. And that's not even expedited. That's just like how fast they sent it. You can skip the hassle. And here's what I really like about the medicines that they offer in all family pharmacy. It's not made in China. They're not made in China.
Starting point is 01:38:41 This is all these are all elements from the U.S. of A. So that's huge, I think, when you're looking at medicines and antibiotics and things like that. You can get comprehensive treatment options in addition to the Ivermectin and hydroxychloric when you got antibiotics and over 200 other essential medicines.

Starting point is 01:39:14 with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program. I'm watching these lefties try to defend Biden's commutation and pardoning. He's saying, oh, some of these people, who named one violent criminal that Biden led out of a prison. Adrian Peeler's getting let out this year. Thanks to Joe Biden. He just shot a little kid in the back of the head and shot his mom's belly up full of bullets. I guess that doesn't matter, though.
Starting point is 01:39:44 to these people on the left, right? You know, because June 6th and all this stuff. I'm also watching what Florida is doing with the start of their special session today. Now, that might seem like really in the weeds, but here's why this is super important. I don't know what's going to happen to how conservative Florida is once Ron DeSantis turns out in 27. Because you can see this fight with the state legislature right now. And he and his leadership made that state a solid red state. and these lawmakers are fighting,
Starting point is 01:40:18 they are fighting him tooth and nail. They did not want to come back in for a special session. And they are running their mouths about Trump's immigration agenda. What they're trying to do is deflect from any criticism of what they're doing by acting like they're, they'll, they'll say, oh, they like Trump. And they, you know, yeah, and they'll, they'll say like out of nowhere, like weird MAGA stuff, right? Like, they just, hardcore MAGA people just want the stuff that they vote. before to get done. These people are given lip service, these lawmakers, and then
Starting point is 01:40:50 trying to act like, oh, Desantis is trying to want up Trump on this when they were completely ignorant of the fact that Trump and DeSantis were actually working together about this and Trump wants his agenda implemented. He retweeted DeSantis. He was talking about how this has to happen because they're going to get so much pushback through the DOJ. They've got to have the states take lead on this to start.
Starting point is 01:41:11 That's what this is all about. And these handful of rhinos, these are the people who don't want to give you open carry, and they also don't want to stop the waiting period for your Second Amendment rights. They also want to make sure that you have no due process with red flags. It's all those exact same Republicans, this group of fake Republicans. They are bitching and moaning about having to show up for special session to implement, start implementing immigration. And some of them have been complaining about it. I mean, it's pretty amazing. So like one of them is the state senator,
Starting point is 01:41:45 state senator, Wilton Simpson. So he has been hardcore against Trump's immigration agenda. He also supported the bill that provided tuition breaks to illegal aliens. This is a political February 2020 third piece. And he borrowed the racist language of people like Jerry Nadler and others when he was saying, well, we don't know what kind of. And this is from another article. he was criticizing
Starting point is 01:42:11 quote May 20203 he was saying that he just doesn't know like these tourism industries and you're talking about agriculture and all of that we just don't know how this law is going to affect that those industries meaning he thinks that brown people come over the border
Starting point is 01:42:25 only to pick vegetables and work in Disney yeah but we're so how in the hell are Republicans like this in office these are the people that DeSantis is fighting in Florida state legislature this people like some are why you don't have your constitutional carry. It's why you have a waiting period because they will not give you your rights.
Starting point is 01:42:48 And they're not wanting to do the job where it concerns immigration either. This guy legit supported legislation, SB 1080, 1082, this, Wilton Simpson, it would have preempted any local restrictions that would inhibit the construction of housing for illegal workers on federal land or on government land. And no, he just didn't think that that's something that he should. That's just one example. It actually gets worse. I feel like we're going to have to start doing names and shames, you know, really do. I mean, it's shocking some of these people. Now you see why they didn't want to go.
Starting point is 01:43:24 And they thought that they were going to try to pull a fast one and act like, oh, well, we'll distract by trying to cause a fight between DeSantis and Trump. But what they didn't realize is Apotis and DeSantis have been talking about this this entire time. And when DeSantis called these lawmakers out, Trump retweeted it. So, yeah. Y'all might want to be careful down there in the state legislature. All right. Today's stupidity came.
Starting point is 01:43:48 What do we got? All right. So Rep Crow, Representative Crow is out of Colorado, a Democrat. And, Juan, this is cut 21. He's trying to equate January 6, I guess, with cop killers. I don't understand. But let's hear what he has to say here. Well, I don't want to hear Donald Trump or J.D. Vance or anyone else in this administration talk about backing the blue, talk about supporting law enforcement when they just released over a thousand cop beaters.
Starting point is 01:44:16 People who brutally beat our law enforcement. Yeah, I was there. I saw it firsthand. America saw it firsthand. The video is available for anybody to view. We saw how they walked into open doors. We saw how there was. We also saw the testimony that there were upwards of 30 FBI people inside and outside. So I don't, I don't. I. I don't want to hear this faux attitude from this guy. Rep Crow. Eat Crow. Yeah, with Republicans, with lawmakers like those. All right, folks, that does it for us today.
