Welcome to the program. You know, with this stuff with El-Said, it's incredibly important, I think. If we're having Abdul al-Said address Hassan Piker, then we need to look at the Hassan Piker on the right and talk about Tucker Carlson for a moment. This is cut 27. Watch this. The second any president actively considers first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, immediately, because that's got to be the red line, destroying all of humanics. with a nuclear strike? I mean, so why isn't there an attempt to remove him from office? Like, immediately.

Anyone who would even tolerate that kind of talk from any of his subordinates or employees is by definition unfit. That's the total destruction of the world. Again, any leader of any country who suggests first use of nuclear weapons has forfeited his right to lead. He has to be removed immediately.

I think that's just a fair standard. Any normal person, I think. No, it's not a fair standard. I'm not going to take political lessons from a CIA reject Nepo baby who got all of his money from foreigners to start his companies. I'm just not going to buy into that. I'm really not. And he said this on Friday when he was talking about, I mean, he literally, it's just, I mean, he quite literally made up a straw man so that he could argue against it. It's weird.

I can't stand when people do this. well, what if, blah, la, la, and then this is what needs to happen. Well, it didn't happen. But he's not, he didn't use nukes on Iran. But he can sure as hell talk about it all he wants to. Don't sit here and tell us what the president can or can't say and limit his arsenal during any kind of negotiation verbally or otherwise. That's not up for him to decide. He says, oh, well, the second he actively considers the use of nukes, well, who gets to do that? I mean, just the absolute hysteria and hyperbole from Tucker. I've never seen a man so prone to emotions as he is. My gosh, he puts women to shame. It's ridiculous. And he was talking about that with one of his,

another compromised guest. But he was saying, well, why isn't there an attempt to remove him from office? You know, I feel like this is a fair question to ask. Tucker Carlson is very good friends, if not best friends, with the vice president of the United States. And he's demanding that Vance's boss be removed from office immediately over some straw man hyperbole. I think we're past the time to ask Vance what he thinks of Carlson and whether or not he shares or continues to share those views. Not just on this, but on a host of other issues. It's incredibly fair to ask this. And I also feel that no one's too precious to answer questions, especially people seeking elected office in these United States. Now, I know that there is an organized and well-funded effort to convince you

otherwise on a multitude of different fronts, but the reality is that this is the United States of America. This is a nation that was born from people who got so damn mad over taxes that they decided to riot and God love them. This is a country that was founded on rebellion, right? This is a country that was founded on crossing a cold river on Christmas Eve to go and get some Hessians and thereby changing the tide of the war of independence. That's what's in our DNA. And so I feel like it's completely respectful and in keeping with our country's grand tradition of asking questions and also not treating any elected officials, though they are too precious to answer said questions, and ask, do you agree with us?

I mean, remember, there's a lot of overlap with the Vance and Carlson worlds here. A lot of overlap. And I told you before that Carlson, his own son, he got him after he couldn't get him into Georgetown, he ended up getting him somewhere else, and then he got him a job with Vance as his deputy Press Secretary, and then after it got a little too hot for Vance, they decided to scuttle him, and he decided to, they have him opening a firm, like we needed another losing campaign operative on K Street. But there you go.

It's completely fair to ask if J.D. Vance endorses this. What does J.D. Vance think of one of his best friends and the guy who got him into the vice presidency seat? What does he think of him now calling for his boss to step down? There are a couple of interesting theories. And I find it not really coincidental that I had this exact same conversation with a friend of mine, well, friends of mine over the weekend as it relates to this. And I just literally talked about this with Lorraine.

She made a comment in Slack. And I'm like, this is wild because this conversation came up over this exact issue over the weekend. So I had a couple of different things happening this weekend. And one of the things I was at, someone brought up Tucker's comment on Friday. Like, oh, well, look at this. You know, this is, you know, at some point, this is going to impact Vance negatively, which I agree. I think it absolutely, and I'm wondering if part of the reason that he hasn't addressed it is because, you know,

it gets, it's a little tricky to address this at this point. But I think he has to. you're talking about a guy who helped get you to where you are and he's demanding that the president of the United States be removed from office. It's only fair to ask whether or not Vance shares this view. We're asking Abdul al-Said about Hassan Piker. We need to be asking Vance about Tucker Carlson. And I think that's completely acceptable to do. I mean, this is, at this point, it's a little ridiculous. And so, I, the, to put it bluntly, the theory is that if Republicans lose going into midterms, and we finish midterms losing and, you know, looking at the polling, if every, especially if in some of these very important races, the polling holds out, and we end up losing Congress, you know what's going to happen, right?

You know what's going to happen. We're going to, Trump is going to get impeached. right that's everybody knows this is going to happen he's going to get impeached they're going to that's all democrats care they don't have anything else to work with you to offer you they don't have any other policies that are going to work they don't have any of that they know that there's going to be an that's all they can promise is well we'll impeach him and that's apparently enough for people to cast a ballot for a democrat they're not telling you what they're going to do to make uh things more affordable they're not going to tell you anything about how they would handle geopolitical issues,

but they're going to impeach Trump. Every single one of them talks about this. Now, what happens, because how many times is them going after them? One, two, is like third times a charm maybe? What if they actually, because the last impeachment, there were no criminal charges. So what if they're able to actually, if they lose Congress, what if they're able to actually impeach him? What if, I want you to just think about this for a moment, crazier things have happened.

Remember, we've been in uncharted water since 2016. What if they actually were able to do it? It's very weird that you have so many people like Marjorie Taylor Green and Tom Massey and all these that are actively working with Democrats right now, working with Republicans' domestic ideological opponents. It's very weird. and they're growing. When they say they want to create another party,

they don't actually want to create another party to run. They want to disrupt the Republican Party because they want to take it over from the inside. They think they're going to do that from the outside. So say they get an impeachment to stick and they oust Trump. Who steps into that role? Think about it for a moment.

Think about it. Who then steps up into that role? I think you all out there in Radio Land know the answer. know the answer? Share it with the class. JD Vance. Now, I mean, again, I don't think it's a coincidence that within the past several days that this argument, this observation has come up repeatedly.

And as Lorraine noted as well, and as a handful of folks that I was talking to, also said, you know, the crazy thing is that if he is able, if he takes over and we're over the halfway point and Trump's second term. That does not count on the clock as part of Vance's terms. Does that make sense? So he finishes out Trump's term, and then he can run for two consecutive terms.

So instead of eight years, you have maybe almost 10. I'm not a betting person, but that does look like a strategy that is being at least somewhat nurtured by the Carlson faction. Be the closest thing to an FDR type of never-ending term since FDR. Now it starts to come in a little bit of a sharper perspective. I'm just saying, I'm just theorizing, I'm just speculating, no, we're just asking questions. But it is very interesting how all the people who were demanding that we unite with Carlson, remember Heritage Foundation? The Heritage Foundation, which now apparently quotes like a known actual, like skinheads, I don't know.

The Heritage Foundation, which has been not the same people running it as we're running it some years ago. They haven't said any. They were the ones demanding that we all, Kevin Roberts came on my show. They were demanding that we unite with the Tucker Carlson's. Are we still to unite with Tucker Carlson, who's calling for Trump to be impeached? Notice how they went after everybody at the time that criticized Carlson and all of these other individuals for not uniting. And they went after them pretty viciously. Now they're silent. Why haven't these same people spoken up, the ones who are like, you have to unite, you have to unite? They haven't said anything about this. Are we to unite with that? I'm wondering, where did they go? I can't hear them. Where are they?

are we to unite with this? Because that's what they said. You know, they were trying to be your moral betters within the GOP. They were demanding that we unite with this. Is that what we are to do? What does the vice president think of this? Where is he out on this? Hmm.

I feel like now is the time where he has to answer. I want to know. Because we know he's running. He had two big back-to-back. major dollar fundraisers. You don't do that unless you're running. He's running. Everyone knows it. We all know it. I think that he needs to answer this. And I think we need to have this conversation sooner rather than later. A lot of Republicans need to be forthright about this.

I don't want to pummel you with data center stuff for hour after hour, but I do want to touch on it every single day. My whole thing is, I'll tell you where I am. I'm not really, I don't know if I'm interested in having, and convincing somebody to change make a decision. But what really kind of ticks me off is that you're not given enough information

in many instances. I feel like you're the gatekeepers, media gatekeepers are not letting you know everything that you can know about this issue. And that leaves more room for chai-com propaganda, which is what I think a lot of this is. And I don't get mad at anybody about data centers if they disagree because I understand some of where the hysteria is coming from. And I do think there is a lot of hysteria out there about this. And we were talking about how POTUS had just,

I don't want to, not tweeted, he had it up on true social where he was talking about data centers on true social. And he was saying that basically if you don't want them, you're going to be backwards and poor. He was also indicating that there's a smart way to do it. Like, no one is saying, let's go out there,

and we're going to put a data center right next door to your house. We're going to put a data center, like, right next to, right in a beautiful park. We're going to put it. No one's saying that. You don't fall for the propaganda. Now, don't, and here's the other thing. I don't want you, I don't want anyone to take offense when I say that people are falling for propaganda because they are.

don't take offense to that this is how you need to look at it your mind is a spoil of war right now and the war is with information the war is with ironically data with and about and whether or not we like it AI and the increase in consumption of data is here and it is a reality. I'm a very practical person when it comes to this stuff and we're showing you POTUS's tweet post, right? It was on true social and then the rapid response for his ex-account reposted this.

It is, it's here, I'm very practical about how I look at this stuff because I'll get, I'll have emotions about an issue later. But first and foremost, what I want to do is how to best solve the issue, the problem, or remedy the issue. So AI and the consumption of data is here and it exists. A lot of the data centers and Kane and I were talking about this on break. You have over 5,000 already that have existed this entire time. When you stream a movie, when you use the

internet, when you're on Facebook, when you're on Amazon, when you're shopping, online when you're checking your portal with your doctor's office. All of this is data. All of this is processed through these data centers. Now, the reason there is an increase is partly because A, AI, and also B, we are becoming more and more digitized as a society. And so, as a result, you're seeing more data center construction. Now, they've even changed how they are, how they function, how they operate. Kane made a very good point. Whenever you hear, it's in the cloud. Where do you think that is? All your photos that you have of your family. Ignore him for a minute. He's just over here, smart mouth him. The photos of your family, when you,

When you get a new phone, right, and you are syncing it up, by the way, the new iPhone's going to be coming out, they're going to announce it this month and it's coming out this month. And a lot of it's being made right here in the US of A. They're taking everything away from China. So what, what? But when you're syncing up your phone and you're updating your phone, uploading, getting everything transferred over, where is that pulling from? The cloud. It's not an actual cloud. It's not like Super Meyer brothers where there's some like turtles up there and they're just like dealing with all.

your data up in the cloud. No, that's a data center. It's a data center. You're already dealing with it. Data centers are here. They're prevalent, I mean, shopping online. All of it. So this already exists. They've been booming. Forbes had a really good piece about it a year ago, or not a year ago, a couple of months ago, where they were getting into it. Like real, it's not just like the video, by the way, I've see so many people sharing videos. I'm not going to say who it is. I have a family member who will not stop sending me AI videos. My family member simultaneously complains about data centers. Where do you think those videos are getting processed?

Data centers. Storage. Your customer records, your bank records, financial services, your transactions online. You go buy a gun and you're using money and you're doing transactions, buying ammo, whatever. Data center. Music, data center. When I play helldivers, data center. all data centers cloud computing data centers all of it it's already here so i don't want you to

think it's a big boogeyman that's just coming it's already here it's already here it can be scary if you let it here's where it gets scary if we give up control and curation then absolutely then you can freak out this is not anything to freak out over now we lose control of it I will be the first one setting my hair on fire screaming through the street. Because, and I say this is not a fan of AI. I have literally, I was called a doomer. You know, I gotta tell you this, I was at an event, sidebar. It was with Media Research Center.

And one of the people, not with Media Research Center, but one of the people that came to their event, literally, it was like 70 years old. A 70-year-old person said I was a Dumer. And I went, I was so, my first thought was, how dare you? Then I thought, wait, I'm not a dumer. I'm just being practical. I'm like, look, I don't like AI.

I don't like it, because people don't know how to really use it by and large yet. And also, with any unknown, people are terrified of it. I'm being practical. I'm telling you what's going to happen if we don't control and curate. That doesn't make me a dumer. That makes me a realist. I will be a dumer if we don't control and curate it and we give everything up to the chikoms. Then, hell's, yeah, major dumer.

what what dumer absolutely but the presence of them it's already a reality so we're going to see more particularly as the consumption goes up as usage goes up and as AI increases and there's going to be benefits and challenges just like with anything there's good and bad benefits and challenges there's that you're always going to have that but i think it's important to work in reality when we're discussing what is myth and what is fact like for instance like the water usage is the only issue and everybody talks about but in a lot of these instances they have the closed what is it the closed loop where the water never touches air and they they're able to and it helps to cool everything off etc etc it's not even an issue there are some issues there are some

Some instances where water usage for the data centers is actually under that, then is under what the like nearby Costco uses or a Walmart super center or something of that nature. People talk about discharged water or not being managed properly. With any other development, that is an issue. Data centers don't get a pass on how they process and handle wastewater than any other development does. Those laws still exist. They are applicable to data centers, just like with any other. development. So just like any other development can't pollute public water, can't discharge

unmanaged water improperly. Data centers can't either. So that's also a thing. There are some municipalities, by the way, that when they are planning and they're doing smart planning of construction of data centers where the communities require them to like pre-treat all the water like on site, the older centers, the newer ones don't do this, the older ones that don't have the new cooling and the, you know, et cetera, et cetera, that is something that you can build in. I also think, like I said, with every good and bad benefit and negative, you have to stay locked in. Nobody wants these things like jacking up residential areas. Nobody wants eminent domain. Nobody wants any of that. And to say that you support smart implementation of data centers is not saying that you

endorse those things because those things are not smart. So why would you endorse those? Those don't fit into the smart plan. But you absolutely have to stay locked in. There are a lot of putting them underground or Elon Musk said to put them in outer space, which actually seems pretty smart, but I know we have a lot of debris out there. But like with anything, like I said, it's good and bad. And this is the issue. So the water thing is a big discussion, any kind of noise, all of those. And none of these are illegitimate issues. But I think we've got to stick to fact and not allow ourselves to be wound up into complete hysteria by the Chai-Con propaganda, who, by the way, they would love for us to abandon.

in this. And that's the thing. That's how I look at. It's here to stay. So I'm being practical. If it's here to stay, I don't want the CHICOMs controlling or curating it. Right? I think we all would agree on that. So let's start from that premise. What is the best way to go about it to where we control and curate? But we also are doing smart planning, smart implementation, and we're respecting existing municipalities. That's the way to approach it. And developers, There are instances, because I've heard from so many people across the country, of good and bad developers, you're always going to have that with any project other than beyond data centers. People have to stay locked in and they have to work with their city councils. They have to work with their elected officials.

And a lot of these developers will go out and meet with people. And if you don't like what they're selling and you don't think that it's practical and you don't think that it's respecting, you know, the heritage of the municipality for lack of a better way to put it, you know, the existing zoning, etc. then tell them. The folks who help make the program possible, it's our friends over at ghostbed. I love my ghost bed. Told you about this. Everything, if you don't have a ghost bed, you're sleeping on a hobo mattress. That actually is probably the official brand name of all bad mattresses. It's just not a good mattress. But ghost bed is the best. It's the best mattress. And one of the reasons I love it is because the quality of construction is so much better. You can tell right out of the box that it's just better materials, better construction. It's deeper than my previous

boogey mattress that I spent a sinful amount on to get. Ghostbed does not cost a sinful amount of money, but yet it is like you spent that much on it. Here's the other thing with GhostBed, cooling tech is automatically included. Like it's already incorporated and built into every single mattress. Everybody else, it's an upgrade. But see, Ghostbed looks at their mattresses like it's a piece of health equipment because, let's be real, it actually is. You spend so many hours of your life sleeping on a mattress and you want to make sure what's the whole purpose, to rest and restore, to recharge so that you wake up great, can handle the day. But if your mattress isn't doing that, it's time to get a new one.

Ghostbett also has a 101-night sleep trial, so you can try it at home because it's the best test of a mattress, right, to see how you feel when you sleep on it and you wake up in the morning. For limited time, during their Labor Day sale, Ghostbett is offering all of you out there in my audience, an extra 10% off of their already lowest price of the season.

We've got to talk about some serious stuff, and we're going to have to have some very serious words about this. It's bad, guys. It's bad. New Wall Street Journal piece highlights that Tala Rico is not only out fundraising, Ken Paxton. He's not only out fundraising him, but he's also out ad buying him and out a lot of things. he's on the offensive and for the first time ever, it is legitimately competitive. Margin of error competitive, I should add. Wall Street Journal was talking about how he, Tala Rico's campaigning and everywhere,

and he is making gains in polling. He's got momentum in the polling. I mean, you know Cook County a couple of weeks ago already said that this, which used to be a reliably read district, is now a district that leans left, leans Democrat. Tellerico is plus 19, almost two points still within the margin of error. It should not be this close for a district so historically read as this Senate district is. There's only one poll in which Paxton took the lead, and it was an Emerson poll,

and it was not really not super oversampled for Republicans. but for Paxton only eke out a plus one from that, whereas everything else, Tala Rico has been in the lead. Now, I know a lot of people like to toss a lot of shade on polling. Not all polling's bad guys. That's why we look at cross tabs. That's the word for all the data that you look at what the methodology was, where they pulled a sample from, how many people they talk to, the dates they talk to them, how? Because not every poll relies on telephones. Some of them are direct texts. Those are actually pretty accurate. Direct texts. Some call cell phones. They don't just call landlines. I mean, they get into it. That's why it's important to know this. And not every poll's the same.

Not every poll is legit. But when you have the legit ones and the ones that are questionable, all saying the same thing. And when you have local polling from local newspapers saying the same thing, that's pretty reliable data. I'm not here to fearmonger you. I'm here to wait. Paxton's campaign T.F. Up. We're going to be, I'm going to be mean. I'm going to, I'm going to go back to the Tea Party days here for a minute. What the blank is Ken Paxton's campaign doing? I know him. I get along with him just fine. He's a, I've been a great AG. I think he is being horribly underserved by his campaign staff. And I'm not the only person who says it. I want Paxton's campaign team to know. We all know every one of your damn names. We're all

talking about you. We are all talking about how horrible you're doing. All of us. Name me a name on Fox or in a newspaper, and we are all back channel talking about how horribly your camp, that group is performing. In fact, one of my friends just texted me. He's on Fox regularly and he works with campaigns, grassroots person. It is one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen run. Verbatim. I'm not going to show you the screen because then you'll see the name. It almost is like it's on purpose. And if no one else in the Republican Party has the balls to do it, then I, a lady, will do it. Now, there's a two-fold problem here, because it's not just the campaign.

It's also the NRC. It's also the GOP. I wanted to play John Kennedy, his soundbite here, that gets into it. Listen to this soundbite. What was this over the weekend? Was it like yesterday? Sunday Circuit? The timing's important. That's why I like to, I think this was Sunday.

This is cut 23. Listen to this. Attorney General, look, there's no sense bubble wrapping it. We've got a race in Texas. And the Attorney General is going to have to do two things. He's going to have to point out the deficiencies of Mr. Tattel Rico. He really is a Lulu linen, and he's a little bit of a weenie. But at the same time, Mr. Paxton is going to have to take.

talk about what he's going to do, a positive platform for the United States Senate. You can't win an election by saying the other guy is worse than me. Money is an issue. Mr. Tadalrico has been raising bucket loads of money from California, Hollywood, all the beautiful people who partied with Harvey Weinstein. We in the Senate don't have the money budgeted for Texas. We need help for the president, from the president. The president says he has eight hundred people. $150 million in his campaign accounts. That's a lot of Jack. I'm hoping that the president's going to spend $100 or $200 million in Texas,

but he hasn't committed to it yet. But in the meantime... He could still, but he hasn't yet. And Trump normally doesn't. It's unusual. But he could still, because Paxton has been in his corner, and that does matter. That does actually matter.

to POTUS. So that's, and there's nothing that Kennedy said there that's incorrect. The NRSC, I made this remark on X a little bit ago. I said that the GOP, it seems like they want to punish Paxton more than they want to win for voters. But I also added that it helps to have a serious campaign crew that campaigns like they want to win. And I'm not about to get emails or to, if I get an email or a text from a butt hurt campaign staff member, I will literally blast. your ass publicly. This is not a time to sit here and back pat and hold hands, kiddos. It's not. And I know who, I know who they all are. I'm sure they're lovely people, but they're not good campaigners. It's one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen run.

Me and everybody that I know are all saying the same thing. Whiskey tango fox trot. Down from communications on down. It has been a disaster. That doesn't mean that Tala Rico should win because we don't, we're not going to sit here and select candidates based on how horribly their campaign staff serves them or not. I mean, Tala Rico was still literally a Sharia enabling anti-2A totally trans everything socialist. So there's not even a discussion about that. This should be a slam dunk, regardless if it's Cornyn or Paxton. This should be an easy layup. and the fact that it's now being classified as a toss-up,

and we're talking about money problems, is one of the dumbest damn things I've ever seen. It's ridiculous. I also think there's something to be said for hiring people to run your campaign when they're green, especially at this level. Everybody's got to pay their dues, and you don't sit here and grab somebody

and then expedite them to the top of your campaign team when they do not have a portfolio of work. wins. They have no demonstrable experience in the field, in the street, in this environment, doing what needs to be done. That's a problem as well. The other problem are some of the other people in the Republican Party. So there was this story where Cornyn slapped it. He went and hit at Paxton and said that Paxton was, oh gosh, what did he say? He said that he's, he said that he He's lazy and he's poor at fundraising and he's a bad campaigner. Paxton hit back and said,

Cornyn doesn't know my schedule. He doesn't know how many hours I'm putting in every day, 18 hours a day. All right. More completely uncomfortable things to say out loud here. Let me put it like this. You've got to read the room when you're campaigning. And this is one of the things that your campaign crew needs to do. A good campaign staff does not allow their principal, their boss,

the candidate that they are promoting, that they are organizing and planning for victory and running, you know, the election, et cetera, you have to pay attention to everything. If you're running against a guy like Tolarico who's desperately trying to make it look like he is in every man, a blue collar every man, you don't want to give him an opening. You don't show up at a campaign event in a four seasons polo. You don't show up to a campaign event wearing a $40,000 watch. I'm not saying wealth is bad. I'm very ain't rand about this to the point where I will get in your face about it. But if you're wanting to win, you've got to be more

Machiavellian. You can't sit there and show up to events like that. And if you don't know it, then your damn campaign team ought to. I would not let anybody, if I was running their campaign, walk out while they're trying to court blue-collar workers doing that. Now again, I like Paxton. He's been a great AG. You go to war with the soldiers you have. This is not the time for people who didn't do a damn thing during the primary or before then to sit back on their fat. asses and criticize the state of things towards which they had no contribution. We're not doing that. I'm not going to sit here and do whata, coulda, shoulda, or pass that. You either want Tala Rico in the seat or you don't. This is not a measure of whether or not you like Paxton.

That happened already. That happened already. I got in the face of some Texas Republicans over the weekend who are woulda-cuda-cuda-shitting. Like, no, no, no. I didn't hear about you out there campaigning? I didn't hear about you out there going door to door. I didn't hear about you out there trying to raise money and promote other candidates against this one. I didn't see you doing that. But oh my gosh, everybody has a hot take. I'm so damn tired of the hot takes. There are a dime it doesn't. What isn't is actually getting out there and putting the work in. Everybody always outsources it to the same damn activist. Some people didn't like to hear that. That ain't my problem. That's theirs. They're too weak. But this is the

reality of the situation. You go to war with the soldiers you got. You play the hand. You're dealt. However you want to say it, that's what you've got to do. This is not a popularity poll for if you think he should be prom queen. This is, do you want a guy who's going to trans the hell out of your kids who supports Sharia and hates the Second Amendment and believes and free all the things at your expense? Do you want him in the seat? That is what this is a measure of. I can't make it more remedial than that. And for the NRC and these other Republicans out there, they need to get off their keysters and figure out how mad they want voters to be at them coming up in 2028.

Because I think it's time for another Tea Party. I think it's time for more people to get back in the streets and raise some hell. I think we're a long past due. Because clearly you got a party that is not listening to voters. The party's mad because Cornyn's not the people. the guy. I see people like, well, they could have had a slow and steady corn and woulda, could or shoulda, coulda, if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. This is the real situation here. This is your candidate. You either want this guy or you want the guy who's going to train your

kids and bring in Sharia and ban your guns and completely bankrupt you with free all the things. Open the border. I mean, what else do you need? The guys, you know, he's told himself what he's going to do. that's what this is a measure of. Which way do you go? Again, the woulda, coulda, coulda, shoulda, that time already happened. We are long past that. You play the card you're dealt. And if you don't like the cards you have, you work harder next time.

And if Cornyn thinks that Paxton is lazy or a bad campaigner and Kane makes this good point, How what the hell did you get beat by him? The folks who helped make the program possible. Who do we have here? Because I totally lost this thing. Oh, we got burning a gun. Oh, burn. All right.

So I tell you guys this all the time. I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself or my loved one. No problem. I'll do it all day long. I don't care. But I also understand, too, that maybe you're a college kid and that you're living on your own. You're not yet 21, so you can't carry a gun. But you want to still make sure that you're protect.

when you're walking to class or you're walking to your car or whatever it is. And this is where a burner comes in. It's the burner CL, which stands for compact launcher. And it's about the size of an iPhone. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 60 feet away. If you compare this to average tasers or stun guns, you've got maybe one or two shots in that, one or two rounds. With the burner CL, you have a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge. So that's pretty significant.

Now, what else is that it doesn't care about gun-free zones because it's not a gun. There's no waiting periods. There's no background check. There's no any of that. It doesn't care about any of those things. It is an alternative to have. It's an option when your options are limited. It's not a replacement.

And you'll be glad that you have such an option. I mean, there's no sense in not diversifying what you carry. I mean, you carry different calibers. You carry blades. So when your rights are limited, you want to have an option that works around that. And that's where Berna steps in. Now, if you already own a Burna, they have the SD as well, but I think the CL is best for this. You can upgrade the SD, trade in your Burna SD for $150 credit towards a new Berna CL or CLXL.

That's an extended. So you can order a prepaid return kit for 1999 and ship your Burna SD back to Berna and get your $150 coupon code within one to three days.

And of course, this came up as you talk about all these foreign nationals who are,

a lot of this first started to, I think it was last fall or last, when you had the, or maybe it was last year, when you had the Jewish students who were being run around, run off campus by these pro. And again, I don't like using this term because it's a fake term trying to retcon a history that didn't exist, Palestinian advocacy. And those people were, basically like running these students off of their campuses and there were, you know, rights. You guys remember all of that. A federal court judge found that portions of the Immigration and Nationality Act violate the First and Fifth Amendments when used to target non-citizens for expressing political views. I don't want a non-citizens political view expressed here in these

United States. I don't want that at all. I don't, I'm not, I'm not, I'm, I, you're a guest here, Just like I can't go to, I would have get in trouble if I were to go to Italy. If I were to go to Mexico, I'll go to jail if I took part in political protests over there. If I went to Italy, same thing. I would be in major trouble. I'm a guest in that country. Guests here aren't afforded the same considerations as Americans. And that is not a belief.

that's not, I don't feel that that is in any way contradictory with the First Amendment. Because when our founders were writing the First Amendment, they were saying that these are natural rights. And these are founders, by the way, who really believed that they were divinely inspired in the creation of our Declaration of Independence. And you're talking about people who don't even recognize that divinity, that, who don't even recognize the dominion of those rights. and they want to undo that Western jurisprudence that gives the structure for protecting them, which I find incredibly ironic. But no, I don't believe that non-citizens

should have the same advantages and protections that citizens here in the United States do because I am America first for Americans. That's the way I look at it. Yeah, that's the way it is. I'm not going to let someone come over here and determine to influence political outcomes with foreign influence.

And I think that's a fair. I think that's pretty fair. You all think that's pretty fair? I think that's pretty fair. Cain, that sounds like a good deal. Damn fair. So this, I mean, look at it. This is CARE. It's the Council for American Islamic Relations. They're one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land trial. I mean, that's exactly what we're talking about as well.

They're talking about foreign students. They have a First Amendment right to support Hamas and they can't be deported. That's ultimately what this comes down to. That's ultimately. And DeSantis, I have this. Let me pull this up. DeSantis had, where do I have this on the rundown? DeSantis had, as declared Kerr to be a terror.

I mean, they're recognizing it as a terrorist organization. By the way, CARE is the group that blamed, like basically, well, not basically, they blamed 9-11 on America, America and Israel. That's what they did. Oh, our support of it, CARE blame 9-11 on U.S. support for Israel. And in a back-to-school guide, CARE actually recommended bin Laden's writings, Osama bin Laden's writings. So people want to have a discussion about 1A protections, et cetera. And, of course, CARE celebrated this decision. in, I want to find this link. I have it on my thing. But DeSantis had declared, here it is, I got it right here. I just got it. DeSantis put out a post earlier, said, we've designated care named an unindicted co-conspirator and the largest terror financial trial in history as a foreign terrorist organization. All states should follow suit. So the Trump administration is also set to look at Soros' nonprofit, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Care in a major tax crackdown. So I I'm very glad. I think Abbott absolutely needs to do this. Every governor should be doing this and recognizing that organization as a terror entity because it is. It's not a stretch. There's receipts. There are receipts. So this makes all the sense in the world. You don't have, again, you don't have those same protections. it's not the same.

We all remember, everybody remember that care wholly and trial about it. They were like funneling all kinds of cash to these terror groups. And this, nobody's a, well, everyone for all this, the weeping and ashen of the teeth about APEC, the stuff that I hear about APEC, which is an American group, as opposed to care, which is not, it's a council for American Islamic relations. Yeah, U.S.A.D. got care money. No, here's the other thing, though. The way to look at this case with regard to this is, like for instance, that Khalil guy,

Mahmah Khalil, when you come to the United States, do foreigners have a right to visit this country? Ask yourself this question as it pertains to this case. Do foreigners have a right to, does someone from Pakistan have a right to come to the United States? States to visit the United States? Yes or no? What do you all think out there in radio land? Kane, do you think that a Pakistani, just or someone from Venezuela or anywhere, has a right to come visit the United States? Yes or no? A right? No. No, not a right. Right. So this idea, I mean, that is, it's a, so it's not a right, so it's a privilege. That can be revoked.

The issue is can it be revoked based upon speech? That is the issue of this case. Now, that's what the judge determined was, no, it cannot. Because they are comparing in their, the way I look at it is the decision is saying that Americans and people who are not Americans are the same, have the same rights in these United States. And I disagree with that. I think we have rights in these United States. These people have privileges that can be revoked, that depending on whether or not they're a good guest. It's a revocable privilege.

That's it. Plain and simple. That's how I view this. It's, and yes, all of these things are about restricting government. People can say whatever they want to say. Someone did not lose their right to say something. They said all this stuff. That's why we had this court case in the first place.

They said it. I think it's being inaccurately misconstrued as a speech issue when it is a consequence issue. You can say whatever you want. Are you protected from consequence? One of the consequences that is being overlooked is when you are here as a foreigner, and you're visiting the United States, you are here under certain conditions. some of those conditions pertains to

politics and disruption and things of that nature if you are found in violation of those conditions which can also be invoked by speech then this is up on the table I mean no one stopped them from physically saying it

no one stopped them from saying it But to be involved in political activities and, you know, do all of this stuff, this, there is the statutory authority that our federal government retains over revocation of visas and whether or not entry is granted, things of that nature, and whether or not deportation proceedings can be initiated based upon, whether or not political activities or political speech negatively impacts national interests. Do you see? So that condition by itself separates the citizen from the non-citizen. You have these rights without consequence. They can say whatever they want, but not without consequence. And I would even say, you know, there's certain things baked into it.

Defamation, liable, slander, things like that. That is, you are not protected from the consequence of that. But there is a pretty, I think, broadly defined executive authority over this. It is a privilege. And our legal structure maintains that coming here on a visa is a privilege. Coming to the United States as a visitor is a privilege. It is not a right. Foreigners do not have a right to come to the United States.

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 21283C, the Secretary of State has the authority to revoke a visa if an individual's entry or activities could trigger, quote, adverse foreign policy consequences, end quote. And they already and have monitored social media activities to that point. So this gets into that mock mom and Khalil guy. The guy who was involved in. running his mouth about the United States, et cetera, et cetera, and going after Jewish students and all of

this stuff. This guy does not have a right to be here. It was a privilege, and he violated the condition of that privilege because he, with his poor behavior. And he chose to engage in activities that he was thoroughly free to engage in, but he's not thoroughly protected from the consequences of that. Because our legal structure maintains that it is not a right. It is a privilege. So going back to my question, how in the world, or back to what we're talking about, how in the world, I don't, I feel like this decision is the wrong decision. Because they're arguing that, well, no, you can come over here and say whatever you want. And you have the same free speech as all Americans. Well, that is not in keeping with the tradition of the statute, history, or its enforcement, or the actual written statute itself.

That's a problem. foreign nationals have to ensure that their speech and advocacy doesn't cross that line the same that I have to do if I'm in Norway or if I'm in Italy or if I'm in, you know, wherever. Same thing. And it can impact a visa. It can impact that privilege. That's the big difference. So, long story long, that's why I feel completely.

like this was the wrong decision to have made. Like for instance, like, do you know that if you are a foreign national and you're here and you take part in a protest and you're asked to disperse and you don't disperse, that criminal immediately just auto starts deportation proceedings? Because you're in violation of your conditions for visiting. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks that alliance defending freedom. And look, this is a group that has been at the tip of the spear in the courtroom, in the state capital, helping with legal battles and legislation to protect our rights.

Because see, the fight for America's freedom, that's how it happens. And if you want to preserve rights, everything gets litigated. This is what they're doing. They're making sure that these rights are preserved for not just us and our kids, but the future generations. and they've been fighting some of the biggest cultural and legal battles out there, whether it is the reversal of Roe v. Wade or whether it's the landmark free speech victory they won on behalf of a Christian counselor, whatever it is, they've been out there winning and they can't do it alone. They need your help because all this stuff, you know, having the paralegals, doing the research,

traveling to all of these different areas, going and arguing before Scotus, legal battles are not cheap. And I hate saying that, but that's the reality of it. But this is what it costs to protect our rights at this level. And right now, your gift, your donation to ADF can have double the impact. You can work side by side with them and commit.

So a couple found a mysterious 150 pound sculpture buried in their backyard. That's a really weird find.

It's like this big stone thing. And they're trying to figure out what to do with it. I mean, I think it looks kind of cool. I would have probably used it for something. You know, just saying. But the family, they're in San Francisco. They were, this dude was digging in his yard and he struck something hard with his shovel. He's a landscape contractor.

So he thought he just like hit an old like fence post footing, right? But then they freed it with a pickaxe and he found it was a bust of a woman made of limestone. It was a head and neck rising from a rectangular base. It was 150 pounds. It's 22 inches wide, 18 high, 10 deep. And he goes, it's really neat. I've dug up some things in the yard over the years, but this is the neatest one.

They think it was done by somebody that at least had a sophisticated skill level because it was not a hobbyist that did it. They were looking at the way it was cut, et cetera. So they're trying to figure out who did it. And that would be interesting if they could, you know, like, I hope they keep it and don't like give it away. I mean, you found it. Finders keepers.

That's the way I look at it, right? Let's see. Ooh, no. A 41-year-old. Oh, gosh. Oh, my gosh. you guys, a 41-year-old was hospitalized after a horrifying do-it-yourself treatment

for incontinence. The guy super glued, his urethra closed. This is a real story. I'm not, it's from New York Post. It's a 41-year-old man who was having incontinence.

He had trouble controlling his bladder. And he decided, yeah, he did that. He glued, the fix was to glue himself to where that wouldn't happen and he had to go to the hospital. So he had no psychiatric disorder. He just thought that would work. It didn't. I saw this story online. Actually, Kane saw it first and now it's trending. The 75-year-old man with Parkinson's and a brain injury, Robert Rowland. He had his nurse,

Sarah Smalls, as his caregiver since March of 24. She gained power of attorney in April. And the daughter, one of his daughters, went to visit her dad. And she found the locks. changed and the ring camera on the door. And then she climbed through a window to check on her dad and she got arrested for trespassing because she was told that the dad wasn't alive and the nurse who took care of him owned the dad's house. And it happened in South Carolina. She said that they were close and that she, they FaceTimed and then she said that her dad started to disappear and apparently nobody was told that he was gone. None of this adds up to me. I am one of the most suspicious people in the world. So I immediately did not take this at face value.

but they apparently there's a police investigation, but you can either believe that the nurse coerced this guy to do this and then stole all of these stuff, or you can be like, how did the daughter know that the dad wasn't on death door if they were quote unquote so close? I mean, if this was my parent and I wasn't able to get a hold of them for 24 hours, I would be immediately calling the police to do a welfare check while I'm getting a plane while I'm hopping a flight to go there.

or driving, whatever. To me, that stands out. And so a lot of these stories that you see online, I think everything is just designed to generate outrage. And I noticed the website where it came, one of the stories came from is not a trusted website. But I don't know. I mean, there have been stories like that.

There was a story in my family's hometown where something happened. But the guy did not have a relationship with his family at all. I hadn't seen him in like 10 years or so. I don't know if it's something like this, but to not know that he was that sick, to not have, you were so close, but you didn't know he had passed away long enough for all that legal paperwork to be done and all that stuff to be transferred and all the, I'm calling shenanigans. That just sounds, it sounds weird to me, just saying. All right, we've got today's stupidity came.

what do we have well let's go to new york the governor of new york as a matter of fact kathy hokel who is in the past complained about the patriarchy and how it's that's handmade's tale in america thanks to republicans has no problem doing this one go ahead with 13 she's in a hijab oh as she talks to her Muslim constituents is supposed to be your head covering. Handmaid's taily. Your hair is supposed to be your head covering. That's what I find so stupid.

There'd be no way. I would be messing out my glorious locks. So wherever the political wins and money flows. There you go. Well, it's for her. Yeah, exactly. Whatever she's got to do. Folks, that does it for us today.
