Speaker 1 (00:00):
You put out there.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I think both parties want to settle. I think if
I wasn't president, this war would have had no chance
of settlement, zero chance. But I think we're gonna get
it settled and stopped. We got to stop. They're losing
on average two thousand soldiers a week. That's a lot
of soldiers. Agree, It's a.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Lot of soldiers on both sides.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (00:22):
Do you, as a president, think that Vladimir Putin is
taking advantage of the US pause right now on intelligence
and military aids in Ukraine?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
No, I actually think he's doing what anybody else would do.
I think he's I think he wants to get it
stopped and settled, and I think he's hitting him harder
than he's been hitting him, and I think probably anybody
in that position would be doing that right now. He
wants to get it ended, and I think Ukraine wants
to get it ended. But I don't see it. It's crazy.

(00:53):
They're taking tremendous punishment. I don't quite get it. But
I suspect Michael he probably wants to get at it end.

Speaker 6 (01:00):
Is he does the president.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
The Russians are taking incredible losses on the front as

Speaker 3 (03:20):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
So Americans have fallen behind on their car payments and
it's at the highest rate in decades. Now we all
hear at the Dana Show. Would like for you to
know that included not just in this but also in
Financial Times, And it was briefly mentioned in a Wall
Street Journal piece that I actually had saved a week
and a half ago, that it's the people who are affected.
These are they nobody's fallen this far behind. The people

(03:48):
who are affected got their loans before January January twentieth,
twenty twenty five, so that's before Trump was in office.
So kin, what does that mean. It wasn't Trump, it
wasn't true, and they actually do have the drop on that.
So I'm just saying more Americans are tapping their four
O one case to pay for financial emergencies. Pre COVID,

(04:09):
the average was about two percent, and twenty twenty three,
which was three point six. Now it's four point six.
And once again, King, when did this measure begin?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Biden?

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Oh my goshhold begin under Biden? Well, under Biden. The
reason I'm saying this is because Democrats are trying so
hard to make what's coming look like it's going to
be just Trump's decision, even though keep in mind the
cr is literally just carrying over the Biden financial framework
literally for another fiscal year, so you keep that in mind.
Dow tumbles four hundred points. Nasdaq intercorrectionist trade policy fatigue

mistakenly bombed to village in your school. Wall Street Journal,
we got a lot more on the way. Potus is
live in the Oval office. If you want a post
workout recovery, or maybe you just want to support your
overall health, you need to check out native path collagen.
You commit sit into anything it has type one in
three collagen. There's no like fluff in there, no fillers.

(05:05):
You're gonna enjoy, you'll see the difference. I mean there's
better movement, resilient skin, all of it. And it's made
with only type one and three collagen fibers. Now, those
are the two most important types. They make up about
ninety percent of the collagen in the body. I mean
it's in your skin, your hair, your nails, your cartilage,
your bones, everything. A lot of other brands use like

(05:26):
a whole bunch of different you know, rainbow amount of
fibers and fillers, but you really just need, like for
maximum benefits, just one in three, so they keep it
super simple. It is. It's a single ingredient collagen, no additives,
no artificial sweeteners, and the third party test for any
heavy metals. And it's totally flavorless, so you can put
it in anything, your coffee, your oatmeal. And because the

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Hey Matt.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Big gains for native born Americans. For the first time
in fifteen months, the job gains for native born Americans
for American people people born in America exceeded job gains
for migrant and foreign born workers. This is the first
time that's happened in more than fifteen months. Employment for

(06:51):
native born workers went up by two hundred and eighty
four thousand, while foreign born workers went down by eighty
seven thousand. Now you know you've heard the same stat
where foreign workers were taking up all the jobs or
almost all the jobs, in some cases literally all of
the jobs. And now it's two hundred and eighty four

(07:14):
thousand native born jobs here people born in our country
two hundred and eighty four thousand. Well, foreign born workers
went down by eighty seven thousand. First time that's happened
in a long time. So these are incredible numbers, and
they're there very early. I mean, you know, we're here
for five weeks, but we have been talking about it

(07:35):
since the big win in November.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
So Potus is going through some of the jobs numbers
there from the Oval Office. I think he's actually, he
has finished his discussion. He has finished his questions and answers.
Just had a few questions from the press and he
took those. By the way, how weird is it, We're
so not used to it before the past four years.
Whatever the hell Biden was we had that. I don't wait,

(08:00):
correct me if I'm wrong here, because I don't want to.
I don't want to be I don't want to exaggerate,
you know, for any kind of purpose. But I did
Biden have like a sit down in the Oval office
like that where he just like took questions from the press.
Biden did he have did he sit in the Oval
office and do that?

Speaker 7 (08:16):
The hell are you talking about? No, that didn't happen.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Ever, ever, ever, seriously, once that never happened.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I'm pretty sure it never happened. If it did, I
really really forgot about it.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
I don't remember it happening. That's why I didn't want
to go out and say, well, Biden's never done that,
because you know, I mean I don't want to. I
don't want to like mislead anybody. But I sat, yeah,
I don't ever remember him doing that. Yeah, no, and
just being very frank and comfortable with answering questions. Well,

(08:50):
it's weird. I mean, I'm not it's so weird. It's
so weird you when you I got to explain it,
and I'm not like, this is not like reaction and
for show purposes. When I was watching this earlier, I
because you guys see this and some of us, you know,
because we're nerds and we have no lives. This is
our job, is no lives, and we watch this and

(09:11):
that's fine. I like it. But we day in a
day out like we're immersed in everything that the White
House would say, you know, Trump or even before Biden,
and we just got used to not having any answers.
I was talking to a friend of mine who works
in the White House Press Corps, and she was saying
that she goes, I've never been busier in my life,

(09:34):
and I and I said oh, I'm like, well, you know, yeah,
you know, new administration. She was like, no, you don't understand.
She goes, I filed seven stories just this morning. And
when I talked to her, it was like right after
the show, so it was like, you know, two thirty Central.
She's like, I filed seven stories just this morning. She
was like, there's so much happening. She's like, I am lit.

(09:54):
She's like, I'm living here at the White House. She
said before it wasn't like that. She's like, I mean
I would have I would be just like in the
offices of the publication she works at. And she was like,
it's so weird because no one that was the joke before.
When Trump was in office, no one was ever at
the desk because they were always covering everything that he
was doing. And she said, when Biden was in office,
you know, we just we were here. We were actually

(10:14):
in the newsroom, which you know, if you're literally part
of the press corps, that's not really something you know,
you're usually out covering. Anyway, Long story short, we had
the realization that we just got trained over those four years,
especially when you're covering it every single day, that you're
just not used to them telling you things. You're used
to them not answering questions. You're used to not knowing

(10:37):
what the hell is going on right now, It's like
you know too much. I'm pretty sure that you Sharman
in the White House, right I think we all like
we know everything that's happening. Can I just touch on
this one story that came out and I know that
the press is so excited because they think it's fodder.
They think we got something. We got something that we
can use to finally divide Hotus from Elon Musk, and

(11:01):
they've been looking at for something like this for forever.
It's the story that came out where I guess what
is it? There? There was while Doge was going through things,
they said that the accusation is a sensitive CIA facility
was exposed by a property sale mishap, So Doge apparently

(11:27):
the accusation is that they there was the sale of
federal properties and this list of sale of what federal
properties have been sold, and it inadvertently kind of released
the location of what they said was a sensitive facility
in northern Virginia, and it was described as being previously
used by the CIA for training or other intelligence activities. Now,

(11:50):
the original article that talks about this does not say
the phrase black site. You guys know what a black
site is, right, That's usually the location in a foreign area,
and that's where the CIA takes the batties and they
have a very how do I say this, energetic question

(12:13):
and answer session, robust as you would say, Kane, that
was an excellent description. Thank you, my friend. Your mastery
of the English language is second to none. Robust, A
robust question and answer session, you know, for the batties. Now,
the original article and it's from I think it's from Bloomberg.

(12:35):
Now Bloomberg, I tend to think is trash. This is
the first of two Bloomberg stories I got to talk
about today. They didn't actually say black site. Now I'm
not saying that because they didn't say black side. It
doesn't mean black site. But they didn't say black site.
But I understand how everyone thinks because I think like
that too. I was immediately like, that's a black site

(13:00):
is immediately what I thought. I read it, and I
was like, what's a black site being? What's it doing here?
That was my first thought. Would any jury convict me
for just simply speculating I read it and it didn't
say black site, but I was like, it's a black site.
I didn't say that to you. I just thought it.
You heard my thought, So I'm not claiming it. I

(13:22):
just thought it. It's a question. Now, they're not supposed
to have those here if it, in fact was that
very thing that we were like about, They're not supposed
to happ me. It's like illegal. I don't know what
the law is. I just know that it's like apparently
not allowed. It's so it's illegal for that to be here.

(13:42):
And I don't know. Maybe they were training it, maybe
they were bringing people here and debriefing them. I don't know.
You know, I feel like I should know now, right,
like I want to know more about this. So now
there's all kinds of discussion about transparency, and some people
are saying, DOJ went too far? This is what happens
when you have some nerds going here, no no, no, no,
uh wrong. This is what happens when you have a

(14:05):
rat bastard government because of the people in it, the
people leading it, the people running these agencies and acting
like their defecto little monarchs and mini bosses. This is
what happens when you have a completely unaccountable, too big
to govern government, and there's no accountability and no oversight,

(14:26):
and there has been no transparency. It has been weaponized
against innocent people. Zero accountability, zero transparency. So no, you
don't get for all of those people out there. You
don't get to sit back and go, oh, well, see
this is what happens when the people try to hold
their government accountable. Blank you No, you don't get to

(14:48):
say that. And even if in the grand scheme of things,
Jojah's accidentally found as CIA black site. First off, why
is the left going where you find that illegal black site?
Shame on you? What the hell is wrong with you people?
Why are you not going? Is that a black site?

(15:09):
What is that? Why is that not your first question?
Why is the left like our precious governments under attack,
save them? Why is that their first reaction to everything?
My gosh, it's so tiring. It's so tiring. That's their
first reaction to literally everything. Meanwhile, us Sainti's are over
here going we're like that meme, you know that meme

(15:31):
of that is. I don't know what animal it is.
It's not Arthur, but it's just this weird little meme
where the cartoon characters looking kind of sideways. I feel
like that right now, that should be the first response.
But no, everyone's like, oh, how dare you attacking? And
then you have all these liberals out there making the
jokes that, oh, doche thought it was code for DEI project,

(15:52):
you know black. Sorry. They try so hard to be funny,
and I, you know, the nice the good part of
my psyche wants to pat him on the back and go,
you tried, But I don't. I don't follow through with that.
So I don't know. I mean, they if it inadvertently

(16:13):
exposed something, I just think it's just again, the article
didn't say it. But if it did, why isn't the
first question, WTF? What is it doing here? I mean
that seems like that's the biggest that's the bigger question, right.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Somehow journalism to wonder that.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Thou shalt not ask questions of the eye, govarn Marrick. No, No,
that's the eleventh commandment. And it was on the other
side of the tablet. You know a lot of people
don't flip that over, needn't know that. Yeah, it was
like double printed. God was double printing, like before anybody
before we invented it. It was double sided. You never know,
I know, right, still black and white, but it was

(16:54):
double sided. I mean, it was like mega advances back
in the time of printing with the stone tablets. And
by the time Moses realized, he's like, wait a minute,
there's another flippid, they already were going crazy. So it
was you know, you got one chance. So I just
feel like that's you know, so now they're using that
as a way to attack Doge now again in the
green scheme of things. Even if even if that was accurate,

(17:18):
even if sageent Doge was, oh, we just we accidentally
uncovered an illegal black site. Sorry, guys, that pales in comparison.
First off, that's kind of a whistleblowing thing, but it
pales in comparison to anything that the government has done
in the past four years. Sorry, you guys locked us
down in our homes redacted off. Okay, go do something

(17:42):
unflattering to your face. No, I'm not I'm not having it.
I'm not having it. And I feel like I'm not
alone in that right, sort of feel like I've got
some company here. But seriously, the black site, let's just
let me operate. So if you're gonna do something off

(18:03):
the books like that, give it to me. I don't
want an elected position. I don't ever want to run
for office, and I feel really uncomfortable representing anybody who
would vote for me. I'm sorry, but I'm questioning you.
I just want to be and I will take it unpaid.
Let me be in charge of like torture or something,
or going after the like devising ways to punish batties.

(18:27):
I would be happy with that. I'll do it as
a service to my country. Won't even charge. It's for free.
We got a lot more on the way. It's Friday.
I mean, you guys are like already like a spring
break here. It's the time for sprits. I know you.
We got a lot still to get into because coming up,
hold on, let me pull this up. We've got uh
John Burke, who's gonna be joining us because Texas is

(18:49):
getting I don't know, Texans like nobody. You know the
meme where it's nobody colon and then there's nothing. Nobody's
saying anything. Texas. Oh, let's go ahead and make teach illegal.
I mean, it's been legal this whole time, but now
they're like, you know what we haven't done enough. I
guess they got tired of trying to pass like anti
gun bills, and so now they're going, oh, you know what,

(19:10):
let's try to ban this. Let's ban all the things.
So we're going to discuss that coming up. We're also
going to get into We've got Will held who's going
to be joining us, and he's going to be talking
with us a little bit about the black rock stuff.
We need to keep an eye on that. So we

Speaker 3 (22:27):
The kids do get their news from TikTok.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
And this is why I'm totally fine with them not voting.
I'll say it if nobody else will. I was, look, dude,
when I was younger. That's I raised totally entirely by Democrats.
Older me is so glad that younger me was not
allowed to vote, be for she was eighteen. So glad
because I was so dumb when I was under eighteen,
I was so dumb. I got smarter the more educated

(22:52):
I became, and as I got older, and I realized
that the fantasy that was spun by the Democrats that
surrounded me was just that it was horrible fantasy that
was actually a nightmare. And there are certain things that
I never agreed with them on entirely anyway. But that's
why this is just what is that giving?

favorite word. I would say the reciprocal is probably the
second favorite one. And I think we have to be

numbskull like Justin Trudeau and say, oh, we're going to
do this, then it's gonna tariffs are going to go up.

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
I don't I I don't understand some of the leaders
of some of these countries. Do you think that by
picking a fight that that's going to make it easier.
I mean, this is geopolitics, this is negotiations, it's diplomacy.
I mean there is an art to it and diplomat
and which is what diplomatic skills. You know, diplomacy skills

(26:02):
are incredibly important. It is an art. I mean a
good diplomat. Not everybody can do it, it really is.
I think you have to be predisposed in terms of personality.
I see Justin Trudeau talk and I just I'm like,
what an eight double snakes. You're not You're not I
mean no, I mean he's you know, leaving, but still
you're not helping your people. Welcome back to the program.
Dana lash with you a number of things to touch on.

(26:25):
We were talking about how the left is trying to
go crazy on Doge because Doge inadvertently may have found
Now see now Lorraine says, yeah, there's some there's some
stuff happening over there. She said that it's uh, they
apparently were training people Cain to do some shadiness over there,
so it was like not a full on black site maybe,

(26:47):
but a gray site. I'm saying that that, and that
they wanted to redevelop the area, she said, and they
couldn't because the CIA was secretly but not so secretly there.
So why are people I mean, why is just I'm
trying to understand why. The response is that the people
are mad, that the left is med that that Doge

(27:08):
may have inadvertently found something that's illegal unless Congress. I
think Congress has to explicitly authorize it under wartime powers
to have that on US soil, because you cannot have
facilities like that operating on US soil, and there's a
ton of different statutes that govern this, and you have
to have Congressional action. And I'm pretty much guarantee that
we all would have probably known of Congress. You know,

(27:30):
I'm sure Thomas Massey would have been screaming about it
from the rooftops if they had to authorize a black
site on US soil. So I'm just saying, seems legal,
illegally right, little illegalish? Do you want to hear something
really really dumb?

Speaker 9 (27:45):
Always?

Speaker 6 (27:48):
So, you know how we've had the the the DEI purge, right, okay,
so we've had the Dei purge. Dosh has been going
through looking at everything, and it seems like they're trying
to get a little bit of a revenge on it.

(28:09):
So the Pentagon, their DEI purge has led to photos
of the B twenty nine bomber in Nola Gay And
you guys know the Onola Gay that was named after
Nola Gay Tibbets And I mean it's you know, historical,
historical plane. Everybody knows it or you should. But apparently

(28:32):
they've deleted they've marked all of these photos of the
Anola Gay for deletion, and apparently photos of soldiers who
have the last name Gay are also apparently marked for deletion.
Now here's the crazy thing. It's not a joke. Well,
ap references to a World War Two Medal of Honor recipient,

(28:54):
the Aola gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on
Japan and the first women to pass marine infantry training,
or among the tens of thousands of photos and online
posts marked for deletion as the DOOD works to purge diversity,
equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by
the Associated Press, And they're doing it on to be there.

(29:15):
It's malicious compliance, is how a friend described it. And
I really feel like that's they're doing it to be malicious.
Oh but it says gay in it. I mean, that's
so dumb, And no, I reject the argument that well,
I mean, why do you say malicious policy? Isn't it
just bad policy? No, if you're so A friend of

(29:36):
mine's like, if I tell you to clean your house
and you start ripping out the stove and put furniture
on the curb, that's malicious compliance. That's true. This is
Amelia Bidelia, but on purpose. You guys know Amelia Bidelia, right.
I grew up with her books. It was, in fact,
it's how I learned about literalism. They our teacher would
read it and you would sell. They would have to
be very careful. And Amelia Bidelia's the adult in her

(29:57):
life because if they told her to do something, she
would do it literally literally and it would and then
the stories were the chaos and fun that ensued. Right,
So they're doing this on purpose, they they and this
is probably why I would think that some of the
agencies were like, we got a little discretion over here

(30:19):
as to how to exercise this. That's one of the
things that Cash Pateel had said. Tulci Gabbart and Marco
Rubio even excuse me, So, I don't know if this
is if I know that they've been using some AI
to go through things, but I don't think they've been
using it to go through everything. But like I said,
this just seems it seems like it's maliciously on purpose.

(30:41):
Do you think it's an algorithm? Do you think that
they were using because the article doesn't actually discuss whether
or not they're using AI to go through they're just
saying that they're going through the database. And I still
also don't think that they would. I mean, obviously, if
you're going through that, you know these things are going
to prop up, and I don't think that AI would

(31:02):
just I think that they would they would have like
some parameters attached to what they're feeding it in terms
of the algorithm, it's this is just maliciousness, this is
this is deep state going okay, And then they're Amelia
Badelli in it. Oh, it says gay here, it's the
and Nola Gay, you absolute jackwagon. You fecal bird. It's

(31:24):
my new word, but not the fecal part. Right, it's
not a new word. It's my favorite words. Magical.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Thank you for censoring.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
I didn't censor. I just voluntarily gave you a gift.
I didn't have to. I didn't want to have to
call brendan car and be like, that's their car.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
So so are they also upset the fact that it
was named after a woman? Is that part of their
thing too?

Speaker 6 (31:45):
Like, because oh, they're just that they're they're just going overboard.
They're going overboard on purpose.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like this is just an AI.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
No, it sounds like it's overboard totally on purpose, because
I mean that's especially in Nola Gay. Come on, AI
is gonna know And no, everybody knows Inola Gay. I
don't care if you don't know anything about history, you
know about this plane. Everybody knows about this plane. Everybody
knows about this crew, you know about it. That's so

(32:15):
dumb to say otherwise, this is them just being malicious.
Ooh man, I feel a great big backhand trying to
form Oh, I mean it really does. It's malicious. I mean,
think about all the other stuff that they've done malicious. Yeah,

(32:36):
I completely believe it. I absolutely believe that this was
willingly done. But this is you know, it's an actual story,
actual story, and this is what they've been trying to
I don't know they're trying. I guess I feel like
they're trying to blame the AI, But I don't really
think it's it's not AI. This is them just trying
to be smart anisence. That's really what it is. So

(32:58):
speaking of dee I, Wells farges it currently backing off.
It's DEI policies. One executive finally came out and said, yeah,
it's over the top. Think about this for a moment.
And I was writing this piece last night that I
sent out on my substack about Gavin Newsom and how
he's like, he's you know, we talked about this yesterday
and he said, yeah, you know, I think it's deeply

(33:19):
unfair for trans you know, for boys to be on
girls teams. By the way, if he really did think
it was deeply unfair, he would have signed an executive
order like now, because he's still governor of California, he
would sign an executive order right now protecting women's sports.
He has not done that, so he doesn't really care. Also,
his wife is like, isn't she like on the board
of some like group, alphabet group that's trying to assimilate

(33:40):
trans into everything. I believe So yeah, so this is
on goofy, I don't believe in. And he did sign
the bill that actually allowed schools to socially transition kids
without informing their parents or obtaining their consents. So it's
all stagecraft anyway. Think about this though, the number of people,
especially at businesses now that are coming out saying, yeah,

(34:01):
this is bad. It went on way too It was
just way too much. It went on way too too long.
It was you know, pretty egregeous. They thought that this
whole time. This isn't a realization that they just had
like this like this DEI, this one executive at Wells Fargo.

(34:21):
This is not a realization that they just had. They
knew it was crazy from the get go, but they
are lemmings. Oh no, I guess I better go along
with it because I want to be socially acceptable and
still popular in my social circles. So they go along
with it. I can't stand that. I cannot stand it.

(34:46):
I go along with it. I can I tell you
a story. I'm not going to name any entity names.
I don't have a problem with people who lived differently
than I do. So long and everything is peaceable, so
long as no one tries to hijack my speech, my behavior,
or limit my rights in favor of another entity. You

(35:09):
don't do those things, you know. I'm good. I like
to be left alone. I'm not a big fan of
unity because I want to be left alone and unity
implies that I can't be left alone. So I was
at this event and it was a lady's event, right,
can't I really, I'm so close to telling you who
the organization, But it was a lady's event, and there

(35:29):
was a gentleman at this lady's event. Clearly a gentleman.
I mean, I don't know if they were kitten heels,
that they were in the largest kitten hills I've ever
seen in my life. And the guy was nice. He
wasn't mean, you know, I actually you know, I had
a conversation with him for quite some time. But dude
was legit over six to one. You can't really wear

(35:49):
like a four inch heel. You can't wear his still
leto if you're over six to one, and plus the
structure of the shoe with a man's foot just makes
it impossible anyway, kittenhel So we're at this event and
this gentleman clearly would I would identify himself as being
trans right. And it really shocked me because out of

(36:12):
everybody there, and this was a few years ago, there
was only like one or two other women that I
spoke with that were like, this is because it's not
It wasn't a left leaning organization, and we're like, why
are we all pretending that this is not a dude
in kittenheels who's over six feet tall, really nice, but
it's a ladies event and this is kind of nut

(36:35):
snowpun intended, you know. And there was one woman who
was a part of our conversation, I'm not even kidding you,
and she had like her giant you know, cross backlace,
you know, her Republican pin and all this stuff, and
I'm like, so, what do you what do you you know?
I can't remember how I broached the subject, but I said, oh, yeah,

(37:00):
the ladies are getting pretty diverse these days or something
like that. She's like, I don't know. I don't know
what you mean. I don't think it was like the
Mariah Carey meme. I don't know her. I don't know her.
And I looked at the other woman I was standing
with because we were having a conversation about like, is
this where this group is going now? And you know,

(37:20):
and again, dude was super nice, and that's all fine
and good, but it's a lady event, right for ladies.
I mean, I couldn't even bring my husband to it.
It's a lady event, and that's fine. But I'm just saying,
and we're like, what do you mean you don't know
what we're talking about? Of the ladies here? Is there
one of these things that does not look like the
other She's like, no, I don't know. And I'm like,
the balls lady the seriously, I'm like, come on, we're

(37:44):
not dancing around this anymore. But what got me was
that there were so like people were just like I
don't want to see it. They put blinders on. And
then when people put blinders on, they think that everyone
else is going along with it, when everyone else is
only going along with it because I think everyone else is.
Do you see what I mean? If it comes this
like giant psychological group conditioning effort, and I'm staying, I'm

(38:08):
just looking around at all this, and I'm like, it's
the tallest person in the room, literally, and I'm pretty
sure that the wig a blonde like corn silk wig
with curls like I swear to you I had a
cabbage patch kid with hair like that. That's why I
recognize it. And I think it was all what Barbie
hair was made of. Anyway. I mean, the dude was

(38:28):
nice and I did say something like, you know how
them heels treat you, you know, And I was real
nice that I can't I am I any kind of
small talk. I will make a smart ass comment and
I can't help it. It's a thing. But I was
thinking about this in context of this DEI story with

(38:49):
Wells Fargo, these executives who are all coming out now
like yes, that's true. Is this is going way too far?
At what moment did you realize it was going way
too far right? And I begin thinking about this, it
is it's a mass hysteria. It is a form of
mass hysteria. No one wants to be left out, so
they're willing to put on their blinders and pretend that

(39:10):
everybody else is going along with it to make make
themselves feel better about not challenging the status quo that
is so weak, so weak, And that's what's happening here.
It's a big just siop. We got a lot more
on the way. We've got headlines coming up as we move.
Our partners who help bring you the program. It's our
friends over a tex Network USA. So Tax Network USA

(39:32):
understands that nobody wants to deal with the government, theft agency,
I mean the legal extortion I'm sorry, the irs just
the easy verbal typo. And they want to help you
out because the last thing that you want to be
dealing with is the pressure of thinking that you're going
to have, you know, them come seize your property or
bank levies or anything like that. You don't want to

(39:54):
live with. That sort of damicle is over your head.
So the folks over a Tax Network, they are total
pros They've been doing this forever. They have saved They've
resolved over a billion dollars in tax stuff. That's insane.
They've delivered real results for their clients across the country.
They have a team of attorneys and negotiators. It doesn't
matter if you ow ten thousand or ten million. Tax
Network USA. They live to get involved and settle this stuff.

(40:16):
They eat, sleep, and then they fight with the irs.
That's all they do every single day. They love it.
Risk free solutions, So you don't want to You don't
want to handle this stuff on your own. It can
be risky and stressful. Protect your financial security with professional guidance.
The folks attacks Network USA. They know who to call,
they know what to say, they know how to get
around stuff. They know tricks and tips that not even
some of the IRS knows. So you want to work

(40:38):
with them to reduce or eliminate outright your debt. Talk
with one of their strategists today. It is free. Stop
the threatening letters in the stress, live your life schedule
a complimentary consultation called one eight hundred nine five eight
one thousand, or visit TNUSA dot com slash data. Don't
let the IRS's scare tactics control your future. That's TNUSA
dot com, slash Data.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
So now apparently they're saying to women age better than men.
I actually don't think so mystery of why women age,
but it is from the Telegraph. It's a British publication.
So they're saying that they think that women age better
than men, and they're trying to solve why. They say
women tend to live about five years longer than men,
and they usually avoid the severe mental decline that you
know a lot of men like. Apparently men deal more

(41:24):
with like Alzheimer's and things like that. But they said
that there's a number of reasons, like it may have
to do, you know, the biological clock, chromosomes. It's a
deep dive, but I think that men physically age better
than women, but women have fewer They don't have as
much issues as men do when they get up there.
Second death reported in a growing measles outbreak is it

(41:48):
do we are? Is the government trying to tell us
to panic? It's New Mexico. They said it was an
adult who was not vaccinated for measles has kick the bucket.
There's a growing outbreak along the Texas New Mexico go border,
and they said that six of the cases and that
kind of excuse me, are amongst adults, four kids, seven
of the ten to not have a measles vaccination. This

(42:11):
is I'm not going to fall into the syop of accepting,
you know, brand new government injections because of stuff like this.
I mean, there's certain vaccines that have been out there
for a long time. I'm fine with that, but the
new stuff, I mean, I don't know. I just feel
like it's a setup in a way. John Burke joins
us next Born. A gun is a non firearm firearm
you might describe it as and you're like, Dana, what

(42:32):
does that mean? Okay, well, it shoots chemical ear to projectiles.
I can disable threats from up to fifty feet away.
This is it's great to have diverse options for your weapons.
I mean, I got my gun, you know, I carry.
I have zero issue at all whatsoever using lethal force
to protect myself or a loved one. I mean, I
legit will not hesitate. And I also realized too that

(42:52):
there are some instances where you can't carry because you've
got municipal restrictions, private property restrictions. I don't want to
be left to the mercy of the criminals. And a
lot of my friends, especially those who live like in
work in DC, like in the media, particularly, they've gone
out and gotten a Berna gun even though they have
a firearm, and they got a license because they want

(43:14):
to be able to protect themselves and not be disarmed.
Bernagun does not care about Gunfrey zone signs. There's no
waiting period, there's no background check. They'll send it right
to your house. And it's super affordable and no recoil.
I know that's important to a lot of folks out there,
and it's super accessible and it's a great way to
diversify what you have so you are never left totally defenseless.

getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe
on YouTube, Apple or your favorite podcast platform.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Where do you stand on this bill? Because we have
a lot of people in the audience that are veterans,
and I know that a lot of them rely on
this as like a non psychotropic thing. I just what
are your thoughts on this and what's the understanding behind it.

Speaker 8 (44:07):
So I don't know the details of this building five
thousand bills going through the House.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
And send it.

Speaker 7 (44:11):
It's hard to keep up with everyone. Yeah, something I'm working.

Speaker 8 (44:14):
Out, which we have many of those issues, but generally
support of the things that can help people that if
they're not addictive and that don't do harm. So you know,
if this is a bill that helps our veterans deal
with health issues in a way that's detrimental to their health,
I'm all for it.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
I So this was from yesterday when we had on
Attorney General Can Paxson. Now, I like k In Paxton,
but as you guys know, I'm also not an ass
kisser and I'm not a ring kisser, and I'm because
I'm the taxpayer. I'm like, you work for me, what
do you do for me? But I like kN pacts
and I think he's a fighter. I think he's been
real good on two A issues. You know, of a

(44:53):
lot of politicians out there. You know, I tend to
favor him. I like him, but I still got questions
about some of this that's rolling through. And this is
part of like this ongoing look that we have. You
got to watch stuff that's happening in your own state.
It's super sexy to watch everything that's happening federally, but
you got to watch what's coming through your own, you know,
let your own state legislatures. So what's happening in Texas

(45:15):
is nobody was talking about really, you know, thch Nobody
was talking about any of this, and then all of
a sudden, legislators in Texas are like, you know what,
out of nowhere, let's just make some stuff illegal. Now,
some of these are the same Republicans that keep passing
these weird anti gun bills and trying to get them
out of committee. And I'm trying to figure out the

(45:36):
hell's going on there. So I don't know why they
decide out of nowhere, we're just gonna go ahead. There's
like two different bills. There's SB three is the Batty
the other one is the the Teacup Bill, and they're
both completely contrary to what they're trying to do in
terms of uh THC, you know the chemical as you

(45:56):
know Nana would say in the pot in the MARICHA
want and I want people before we get into this,
I want people to put aside, this is not about
stoner stuff. It's not about hippies. I need everybody to
get that out of their head. I am very sensitive
to the government telling people what they can and can't
do that is out of the scope of what they're

(46:17):
allowed to tell you what they're supposed to be there
as a partner, as a facilitator, not as your nanny,
not as your boss, joining us on this. A friend,
a good friend of mine, and he's like, he's a
veteran and this is his business. John Burke, who is
a Texan and he has his own politics, he's got
his own podcast. He's an entrepreneur. His shows The All

(46:37):
American Savage Show. But he also owns shell Shock CBD
and he's you know, making products that are helping veterans
and you know, other individuals. What I like about what
he does is that big pharma is not there. And
I think we're all a little bit done with big
pharma and psychotropics and everything else. John joins us now
via Skype. John, Good to see you you too.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
I was I was looking forward to yesterday, but you
know somebody who had pass Oh.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
I know.

Speaker 7 (47:05):
Sorry, I appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
Thanks all right.

Speaker 7 (47:08):
I see where I stand as your good friend. So
I appreciate that.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
What did you think of his response to that? I
don't think he was expecting the question, but I wanted
to ask him and kind.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
Of so you've got to You've got to gauge this
right off the bat. He's saying anything that supports veterans.
We've got a distinguish between the two of the tea
cup bill and SB three. Now the tea cup pills
already in existence. The issue that we're bringing to light
on that one is that essentially it's putting the state
more in play to issue your medication, your THHC like
you previously said, Delta and Delta nine that we're currently selling.

(47:37):
That's basically saying the state says we get to regulate,
we get to say how much you get at whatever point.

Speaker 7 (47:42):
And also the tea cup is expensive.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
At the actual testimony there there was a female veteran
Iraq war veteran that said I came for the tea cup,
so SB three.

Speaker 6 (47:51):
And because John was in Austin, he was at the
state Capitol and he was at the hearing on this
and that he and others were speaking as to this
proposition to ban outright ban all THHC in Texas.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
Yeah, and so Ken Paxton, I get where he's coming from.
He's going to support anything that supports veterans. Will a
teacup technically supports veterans. It's SB three. We've got to
put a halt on. And the reason we've got it
right now is you've got Lieutenant Dan over there want
to say like, well, I don't like weed, I don't
like THHC.

Speaker 7 (48:21):
I want it banned.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
And of course you know you've got Perry down here,
and I think, what is the district thirty two that
when tended Dan snabs man. He just he comes to
a little counting over there, just typing away on this
little bill wanting to ban something that he himself he
said he didn't understand, and Dana, I got a red
for a second.

Speaker 7 (48:34):
I sat there.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
I support our boys in blue, but I sat there
and I watched the chief of police of Allen blatantly
lie to the people his expert analysis couldn't even tell
us the difference between Delta eight and Delta nine. That's
how stupid these people are that want to regulate and
tell you what you can and cannot ask.

Speaker 6 (48:50):
It's like people who don't know about guns trying to
regulate guns.

Speaker 7 (48:53):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 5 (48:54):
So if we're talking about safety, because they kept hitting
on that, well, kids are getting it.

Speaker 7 (48:58):
No they're not.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
You have to be twenty one to purchase this is now.
If they want to put that into law, that's fine.
I support that. What they've done though, is those people
like myself that showed up at that meeting, we're the
law biders, like we actually go by the law. So
these people that they're catching selling actual marriage you wanna
which you know, I don't care.

Speaker 7 (49:15):
Do your thing.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
I'm not gonna sit here and be upset about it.
It's your body. You do what you want to do.
But they're trying to lump us in with them. So
here's the basis of it. If SB three does get passed,
you are going to see eight thousand Texas businesses be
destroyed like that. This is an eight billion dollar economy
and I have to say, this is not about safety.
Dana you and I both know the argument between the
second Amendment. Don't sit there and tell that the Texas

(49:38):
people that this is about for their own safety. You've
got vape shops, matter of fact. And if you sat
down with me right now and we had a joint
in one hand and we had a McDonald's meal and
the other McDonald's is actually doing way more damage to
your body. But we can't complain about that because you
know it makes it makes no sense, right, Yeah, So
that's what SB three is. It's a complete and total ban,
complete and total ban.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
That's that's insane to me. And you're you're right. It's
these people who have no expertise in this regulating it.
It is literally just like hearing people trying to regulate firearms.
And that's kind of the crux. This is how I
look at it for me, because you're talking about this
as a business, you're you're law going by the law.
Some of the stuff that I heard, well, thhd's killing

(50:17):
people and the kids are all getting some of the
I don't even know about all this stuff. It's so
dumb though.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
You can't even d on THHC that we could see
here's here's here's how it works. For you to actually
die from a THHD overdose, you would have to smoke
roughly fifteen hundred pounds and under fifteen minutes. And ma'am,
if that was possible, Snoop Dogg would have been dead
a long time. About nobody's pulling that. Nobody's doing that,
So again it's not about safety. And these boomers can
sit there and so like, oh it's the Devil's like

(50:43):
the Gateways rug they brought down to it. We're really
still regurgitating this nonsense like okay, fine, whatever.

Speaker 6 (50:49):
Now this is because you're your products. So you have
shell shock CBDs, so you make the drop, you have
the dropper, so that's like the liquid, and then you
have the gummies and then you have smelt stuff.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
We blew up, Dana, because here's the thing. We now
give the power of veterans. And it's not just it's
for everybody, but veterans can now self medicate with something
that doesn't have secondary and tertiary negative effects. If they
want to get a bag of gummies that contained THHC
to get high, to get baked or to relette whatever,
they have that option. Because Dana, I've been consuming Delta
eight and Delta nine now for about three years, and

(51:21):
it has made a difference in my life.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
It's a combat veteran. I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
The most reoccurring statement I get from our customers is
that I used to be on fifteen medications from the VA.

Speaker 7 (51:30):
I'm on none now. But this is what helps.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
That's why the Vietnam generation were a bunch of stoners,
because they had all kinds of nonsense thrown at them
and THHC is the only thing that worked. So again
they say they support veterans, Well, veterans showed up in
mass at the Capitol, and God bless them. I love
seeing those little funny hats the VFWS. Don't get mad, guys.
They're funny, it is. But everybody was there. Veterans are
they're for banning, or they're for against SB three. So

(51:52):
if they actually care about what the veterans want, and
these public servants actually work for us, then you better listen,
because you know, old Perry boy, they're just sitting there
talking about Oh, he wanted to regulate it too. Yeah,
this is the libertarian to me. He wants to put
a ten thousand dollars tax on it.

Speaker 6 (52:06):
Because it's about money. I want to touch on this
because you said that you know veterans, and I've heard
this from so many We have a lot of in
our family. We have a lot of combat vets, and
we have a lot of friends who were combat vets.
And I've heard this from so many individuals who have said,
we didn't want to be on all these drugs. We
don't want to, we don't want to have to take
this for anxiety or because you know, they've seen some stuff.
They don't want to. They're just trying to live their
lives with something like and I had a friend explain

(52:29):
it to me. They were taking like an I guess
an edible, a gummy that had THHC in it. I
don't know how much it was in it, but they
said that it's not about getting high, and it's not
about being like a stoner, and that's what everybody thinks.
They said it helps in a way to help regulate
their anxiety that isn't addictive, and it doesn't have all
the side effects of prescription medication. And I just don't

(52:50):
understand why lawmakers are so averse to that, because if
they ban it, does that mean they're going to reintroduce
it as like a licensing scheme, and then you have
to go through like you know, the government or an
entity that they.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Then what partially yes, So Perry even led into this,
like I just said, he wanted to put a ten
thousand dollars licensing fee. So if you look in states
like California and Colorado, they've banned Delta and Delta nine
and they call it synthetic. Synthetic just basically means you're
getting the Delta eight and the Delta nine from the
hemp plant. It's the same that you get from a
cannabis it's just less. We blow it up a little bit,
and therefore it circumvents the twenty nineteen farm bill. That aside,

(53:25):
they ban it because it is in direct competition to
the actual weed. So big weed becomes big pharma. That's
why the libertarian aspect of let the market be free
and let because here's the thing, a stoner or a
weed marijuana smoker, they're always going to want that. And
then there's a oose of us that I prefer the
gummies and the edibles because you don't have that smell,
and it's you can micro dose. You can basically get

(53:45):
a more measured amount of what you want to take.
So let just people choose for themselves. That's all I'm saying.
But we're going to watch this bill, and I guarantee
you they're going to red pen some stuff, and it's
going to come down to just more government regulation and
more government taxation and data. I'm mainly commerce. You know,
it's shell shock CB dot com. I will move my
operation hour up down the road to Oklahoma and then
Texas will lose out on all of that. And if

(54:07):
that's what he wants to do, that's fine. But I'm
blessed in the fact that, you know, geographically speaking, I
can do that, But a lot of these businesses can't.

Speaker 7 (54:14):
They blood, sweat and tears.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
They shouldn't have to. I mean, it's Texas for crying
out loud. That's so I want to tackle this because
I hear this a lot, and I I have some
friends who are very good natured, but I'm like, don't
spare me the Barbara Bush and no offense of the
barbar Bush, but you know, spare me the Barbara Bush,
the Republics, the Republican pearl clutching, you know, where people say, well,

(54:36):
then You're just going to turn the whole state blue
and it's gonna smell like Heineken. And that's that's what
I hear from What do you say she did?

Speaker 7 (54:45):
She didn't say hi, did she say heine.

Speaker 6 (54:47):
I added the Heineken part.

Speaker 5 (54:48):
But but you know that's a legitimate thing. Look fair enough,
let's treat it like alcohol. Then you can't do it
in public. You can do it in your home. You
can grow it yourself. That I can understand. I don't
want to smell it down the road either, that's fair,
but still make it legal. Yeah, and you cause, again,
who's it really hurt? This is a victimless crime.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
I have to tell you the the only time I
think my first exposure to like pot smokers was when
I went to a Willie Nelson concert and me and
my friend were behind these old people like dude like
they were really they were. They were advanced in age,
God loved, and they were very sweet. But they were
in their seventies and they smoked more pot than I'd

(55:23):
ever seen in my life. And I thought, I don't know,
am I going to be on drugs? Because I'm sitting
behind them and I'm like, how am I going to
swell this to my mom.

Speaker 5 (55:30):
The politics are going probably like I don't know what's
up anymore, like the big tent of conservatives.

Speaker 6 (55:35):
But it smelled so bad, and I it does. It
smelled so bad, and I just and I so I understand.

Speaker 7 (55:41):
Denisota is the Trinity River, but we don't ban that right.

Speaker 6 (55:46):
Just like it.

Speaker 7 (55:47):
It's a legit complaint.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
I unbanned it.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
But it's like, there were the best that you're going
to get. It is how you got it right right now,
infenible format. But we also sell pre rolls, So technically
I could walk down the street and smell a flower,
smoke a flower or a bud, and it smells exactly
like it.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
I just choose nothing that smells that sounds fancy. When
you say that, to smoke a flower that sounds.

Speaker 7 (56:06):
Like a nord strum, it's the flower of the.

Speaker 6 (56:08):
Yeah, that's that's like almost like you know Neiman Marcus marketing.
Just there, that's let me ask you this. We're talking
with John Bell.

Speaker 7 (56:14):
It was totally unintentional too, but yeah, you just I.

Speaker 6 (56:17):
Think you may just stumbled on some marketing, isn't it
Isn't it legitimate to tell people if you're worried about
the state flipping blue because you know we they THHCS
allowed in edibles or whatever. Why would you export that
responsibility and give it to the government instead of doing
your due diligence and your civic duty to when hearts

(56:37):
and minds yourself as a free citizen. Isn't that the
spirit of the republic in the first place.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
Well, first, we have to go back to the original
point you made. You said that, and you know Santa's.
You know Santa's fought against this in Florida, and I
understood that was a big corporation, big weed monopoly in
terms of Amendment three, why they didn't legalize weed.

Speaker 7 (56:51):
But here's the deal.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
If we want to talk about states potentially flipping, here's
it's legal in Oklahoma. California was blue long before they
legalized the Colorado. I forget the way on on that one.
But here's the deal. We first have to look at
what conservatives are actually bent up about.

Speaker 7 (57:05):
And I don't think it's THHC.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
I think you're gonna find more conservatives have the position
that like maybe you yourself or Ken Paxton has like, look,
I don't consume it, but I believe in the freedom
of individual citizens.

Speaker 7 (57:14):
So yeah, you probably will draw a lot of liberals.
There is the possibility of that.

Speaker 5 (57:18):
But at the same time, it's like, again, look at
the states where it has been legalized and they haven't flipped.
I think it's just all about how you introduce it
to the populace. And then there's other things that come
into play on something like this, because you do have
the Teacup bill, and the other part of this data
is here's where it proves them all wrong.

Speaker 7 (57:32):
It's been legal since twenty nineteen. Texas.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
During the last the last election, we had what four
counties flip read Yeah, even though there were border counties.

Speaker 7 (57:38):
We've gotten more conservative.

Speaker 5 (57:41):
Liberalism has confined to places such as again Houston, Dallas
like that.

Speaker 7 (57:45):
You don't see it spread.

Speaker 5 (57:46):
It's not spreading, and you know, to be fair, we've
got other issues like I don't know, fentanyl pouring over
the border, stuff like that. So it's like, if this is,
like you said, why this all of a sudden, it's
because Lieutenant Dan got a wild hair and somebody's probably
paying them.

Speaker 7 (57:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (57:57):
We need to watch this SB three. Everybody texts needs
to be calling their lawmakers and saying, nah, don't be
doing this stuff because we'll remember that, because it's just
again more encroachment on individual liberty. John Burke, appreciate you
sounding the alarm on this and watching it as closely
as you did. Also appreciate your service. The website is

Speaker 3 (59:49):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

Speaker 7 (59:56):
It's time for Florida Man.

Speaker 6 (59:58):
So the quickest way to get arrest and get in
major trouble is to say that you're going to maybe perchance,
like you know, go with the president. And that's what
this one Florida man did. I don't I don't want
your papa bade you stupid. Sight Florida arrested the arrested
the guy last month who claimed that he wanted to

(01:00:18):
assassinate Podus and that he also had control of missiles
pointed at New York City. Justin Blaxton thirty four of
Losa Hatchie. He apparently called nine one one on himself
in Palm Beach County and began making threats and he
said he was going to launch missiles and destroy New
York And of course they absolutely took him into custody.
He's he's charged with threats to discharge a destructive device,

(01:00:42):
false reports of an explosive and false nine one one call.
So he's in a lot of trouble. And that's to
say nothing of his threats to Podus. So he's in
big time trouble. A man is accused of taking out
his man bits in the back of a lyft ride
from Walmart. He's going back to his mobile home. He
this is according to Lakeland, Florida. He was in handcuffs.

(01:01:05):
He literally got caught with his pants down. This story's
so nasty. Do you guys really want this? It's a Friday,
Like you don't want this nastiness. This thirty five year
old me named Justin Cole took out his franken beans.
He's in the back of this lift. This poor lyft driver.
She's just trying to get him home. Right complete the drive.
She stops at a stop sign. She looked back to

(01:01:26):
make sure it was clear to turn, and that's when
she saw him in the review in the back seat.
So nasty and she deputy said he was quote doing
something back there that she did not want him to
be doing in her car. He looks like a weirdo too.

Be looking for Trump on Peterson, are you going to
make that policy?

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
US policy?

Speaker 6 (01:03:02):
That the US wouldn't defend NATAL countries that don't pay.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Well, I think it's common sense right. If they don't pay,
I'm not going to defend them now, I'm not going
to defend them. I got into a lot of heat
when I said that. He said, oh, he's violating NATO.
And you know the biggest problem I have with NATO,
I really, you know, I mean, I know the guy's
very well, they're friends of mine. But if the United
States was in trouble and we called them, we said

(01:03:28):
we got a problem, France, we got a problem, a
couple of others.

Speaker 7 (01:03:34):
I won't mention.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Do you think they're going to come and protect us?
They're supposed to? I'm not sorry.

Speaker 6 (01:03:41):
Sure, I think he's I like the way I like
his his elocution, his voice, his his what am I
thinking of? Not his pitch, but just the way that
he talks. Yeah, it's the whole demeanor with the welcome
back to the pro Graham Dana lash with you top
of this third Hour, that's potus. Yesterday he was asked about,

(01:04:06):
you know, can you get NATO protections and not be
a member of NATO, meaning not pay into not just NATO,
but have meet the basic bare minimum LITMSS of spending.
What is it two or three percent of your GDP
on defense? And I think Potus gave up. I don't
think there's any wiggle room out of the answer that

(01:04:27):
Potus gave just there. I don't think so. Now I
was thinking about this. There was a story rained yesterday
on Substack, my Substack, chapter and verse, and it has
to do with this exact topic. Now, I like watching
what some conservative leaders in European nations do because I
think that you have to have you know, I just look,
I want everything else to be cool and chill, so

(01:04:49):
that the US doesn't have to worry about nothing and
the factors into our national security. Now, there was this story,
and this is the second story, the second Bloomberg story
that I mentioned in the first hour of our broadcast today.
I said, here's a trash Bloomberg story and I explained it.
This is the second one that I think is trashy.
And this is why I can't I mean, this could
be just more garbage reporting from Bloomberg. They kind of

(01:05:10):
have a history of it. So what they said is
that Georgia Maloney, who is the Prime Minister of Italy
that she was claiming that Ukraine should receive NATO protections
without membership, meaning NATO protections defense of Ukraine should should
be applicable, but they shouldn't have to pay anything into NATO. Now,

(01:05:32):
the whole claim for the story rests on one indirect
quote and one it almost looked like it looks like
it's an abridged quote. I get the it seems like
she's replying to something and it's not like a statement,
but she's I don't know. So there's only two actual
quotes from her in the whole story, and this is

(01:05:53):
what Bloomberg is using to prop up this whole narrative.
So that's why I'm saying, I mean, I'm hoping it's
just garbage reporting. The two that are quoted. It says, quote,
speaking on the sidelines of a European Union leaders meeting
in Brussels on Thursday, she Maloney said that quote, we
need to think about more durable solutions in quote than
sending European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. Then later on in

(01:06:16):
the story she had this quote, it's a different thing
than entering NATO, but it implies extending the coverage that
NATO countries have also to Ukraine end quote. Neither of
those quotes support the claim that Bloomberg is making that
Italy's Jeogia Maloney is demanding for NATO protections for Ukraine
with that membership. It almost seems like it's a way

(01:06:36):
to try to They're attacking her for something she didn't
even say. It seems like someone asked her and she
was just having a reasonable nuanced discussion about it. And
unless she says otherwise, I'm inclined to give her the
benefit of the doubt for this because she is fiercely
Eurosceptic and she I mean, if you remember how she

(01:06:59):
came into office, she blew through the messaging as part
of Fortellidi Italia Brothers of Italy and her populist messaging,
and this is again the difference. This is why populism
isn't a set of beliefs, but it is a tactic.
She had populist messaging that was underpinned by very traditional
conservative principles, and she easily took office in twenty twenty two.

(01:07:23):
She immediately formed alliances with Lega formerly Lega Nord that's
heded up by Matteo Salvini, who's the deputy Prime Minister
in Italy, and they have arguably held what is I
think Europe's hardest stance against illegal and unregulated immigration, and

(01:07:46):
their refusal to ben Denis to the demands of the
EU and the Socialist members of parliament in Italian parliament
in Italy, they've refused to ben Deni to it. I'm
just thinking of all the law fair I can't remember
how many lawsuits they had, Like the Socialists were filing
against Millenni's government and then Matteo Salvini. I think you

(01:08:07):
guys remember they wanted to take Salvini to jail because
he wouldn't allow a bunch of illegal immigrants coming in
from what was it Algeria to disembark in southern Italy.
Was gonna allow it, and they were trying to They
accused him of all this stuff, and of course he was,
you know, victorious every single one of these cases. I like,
I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt

(01:08:28):
because they have worked really hard. Now it's been difficult.
I think a lot of people thought it was going
to be something that happened overnight. Because it's a little
different with Italy, because they're part of the EU. They're
a part of the Shanan Agreement, so there's that to consider. Again,
they're super fiercely Eurosceptic, but they're they're trying to deal
with years of just completely unfettered not just immigration, illegal immigration,

(01:08:50):
people just coming in and it's on the honor system
and then you know, they go through, they either stay
or they go through everywhere else. There was this one
story of an Italian island that was just absolutely besieged
by people coming in for Northern Africa. Boats full of
people that are just disembarking and you know's just crazy.
They've they've threatened to use their their Italian navy to
dispel some of these attacks, and so or some of

(01:09:14):
these these entries, these mass entrance, illegal entries. So, like
I said, I'm inclined to give her the benefit of
the doubt. They've been working very hard to try to
stop this. And then I feel like it's a sy
op for the socialists in the country. They they work
with the media and then they try to say that
because they have they have been undertaking this laborious effort

(01:09:36):
to turn the immigration problem around. If it doesn't happen
as fast as the media claims it will happen, then
it means that Maloney is soft on immigration, and I
just think that the actions of uh, their government don't
support that. So that's why I'm like, I'm inclined to
kind of give her the benefit of the doubt. I mean,

(01:09:57):
there were even accusations that you know, Germans, you know,
leftist leaders, we're trying to undermine what Italy was doing
with you know, travel in and out of different EU countries.
So there's a lot there. So just be really careful
with some of these stories, particularly you know, Bloomberg and
some of these others, because they have a history of
really garbage reporting. And the whole claim on this rests

(01:10:19):
literally on two crappy quotes that don't actually support what
the headline's claiming. And I just don't want conservatives to
start trashing the most conservative leader in Europe right now.
She is the most conservative leader in Europe, and she
is single handedly she Salvenian others through LEGA and Fertality Italian,

(01:10:41):
they have been trying to bring Italy back to a
point of normalcy, and then from that they are providing
shade to a lot of these other European leaders who
are conservative, whether it's you know, the Conservatives in France
or in Spain where they've been absolutely just stroying socialists
and elections, whether it's you know or Bond in Hungary,

(01:11:03):
whether it's you know, some of the German Conservatives or
some of those German Conservatives elsewhere. I mean, it's are
conservatives like in the Netherlands and in Belgium and Flanders
and all of this. There are a lot of conservatives
that are that are enjoying the shade that their very
fierce leadership is providing in Italy, and I sort of

(01:11:24):
feel like it's a bait to try to get, you know, conservatives,
whether it's in Europe or in the United States, to
start attacking each other. And not only I would say,
not only are they pretty conservative by European standards, they're
almost pretty conservative by American standards. You got to think
about that too. When you talk about conservatism, it's different
obviously in Europe because you have a different founding document,

(01:11:47):
you have different constitutions, you have different charters, et cetera.
So it's still different. That's why I like to define
conservatism about conserving individual liberty and national sovereignty. And they
are the most conservative right now in the EU. Absolutely, uh,
And it's I just feel like it's kind of a bait,

(01:12:07):
does it, am I being too tinfoil hat? That I
steal your tinfoil hat? Doesn't it seem like it? It
seems like they're trying to delegitimize That's the impression I
get because they've always been pretty like, they've always been
pretty hardcore, like we're not sending boots on the ground
of Ukraine. We are not doing this, and she'll listen
to different leaders. I think they also into the draggy government.

(01:12:28):
They Ukraine was a contributing factor of the government that
preceded hers in collapsing all of that, so I think
they're very sensitive to all of this. But anyway, that's
over at substack if you want to read more about
that now. Also over at substack is Lorraine's deep dive
on and this is coming up again in the news today.
Judge Amir Ali. He is the She describes him as

(01:12:51):
a dual citizen dei hire, and he is the judge
who's trying to usurp. I mean, that's I don't know
how you present this. You potus's authority to determine taxpayer
dollars right as it relates to the Treasury and what
the Treasury can and cannot do, which is weird because

(01:13:11):
correct me if I'm wrong, King, and I know I'm not.
That's under the executive branch. So if you're a president,
you control the Treasury because it's part of the it's
under the purview of the executive branch. It's kind of
how that works. Really weird how that works, isn't it.
So there has been this effort, and I know that

(01:13:33):
there's there's stuff happening today as well. Uh, they've I mean,
I just it seems it kind of seems law fairy,
but they are. They've been trying to constrain what PTUs
can actually do, whether it's you know, and the peace
and here gets into US AID funding for all of

(01:13:55):
this these projects. And if this came out, you know,
if you read what excuse me, Aliito, Thomas, Gorsich, and
Kavanaugh had all said when they were talking about whether
or not a judge who I don't know how this
judge has the jurisdiction, by the way to do what
he did. But a judge does he have unchecked power
to make the to compel the Government of the United

(01:14:17):
States to pay out billions and taxpayer dollars. Now they
said they literally wrote, quote, the answer to that question
should be an emphatic note. But a majority of this
court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned this guy's dual citizenship.
He's a Canadian American judge. He has a long history
of super far left activism that Lorraine gets into. She's

(01:14:38):
got his donations, his nomination, like how his nomination was
already pushed through after Trump won the election, and he
was able to get confirmed because some Republican senators missed
the vote. Remember we talked about that. Hmm. That's one
of the reasons why some of us were very angry.

(01:14:59):
You had texta that you had Senator Ted Cruz and
Mike Braun he was going to leave to become Indiana governor,
and Tom Tillis at the time told Roll Call and
this is via Newsweek, that he was quote very angry
that Republicans failed to stop the confirmation. Why wasn't Ted
Cruz there? I kind of to be honest. That pisses

(01:15:22):
me off. Why did Ted Cruz miss that vote? You're
Ted Cruz? How did you miss that vote? Why is
any Republican missing a vote this important because now because
that vote was missed, this guy is where he is now.
He's engaging in lawfair to stop the President all the
way up to the Supreme Court from being able to

(01:15:45):
determine us AID funding through the treasury, and the Supreme
Court now has a precedent for it. Thank you Republican
Senators Mike Braun and Ted Cruz, because you made that happen.
I know I'm supposed to be kissing buds and being like, oh,
you love your podcast. I'm not doing that your work
for me, I pay your salary. Those two Republican senators

(01:16:06):
allowed this to happen. So look, I call balls and strikes.
It is about what have you done for me as
a voter lately. So the whole reason you have Judge
Emir Ali, a Canadian American who literally just got in
there December twenty twenty four because Republican senators food barred it.

(01:16:29):
How angry should you be over that? I mean, I
believe in calling out the left, but sometimes the left
is in the issue. Sometimes it's your own side that
gets in it, and it gets in the way. We
got a lot more on the way we got headlines
coming up as we move our partners that he'll bring
you the program. We've got Celtech. It's the PR fifty seven,
which I cannot wait to get this. I know I've
not fired it, but I have held it. I've held

(01:16:53):
it and I've taken it apart and all that fun stuff.
But it's the PR fifty seven five to seven and
they've it's the lightest five to seven that's on the market,
and in fact it's forty percent lighter than the next
lightest five to seven low recoil build to perform and
the MSRP is only three ninety nine. And I think

(01:17:16):
this is the first one that rolled off their Wyoming
expansion facility. Everything is made in Florida, but now they
got the Wyoming facility as well, and it's just a
unique it's awesome, really innovative rotary barrel makes it super light.
The unique top loading design replaces the traditional mag with
a stripper clip. I know it's slimmer, carry profile, twenty
plus one capacity. It's the PR fifty seven rotary barrel
pistol chambered in five seven at Celtech k E l

(01:17:38):
t Ec Weapons dot Com. Tell them Dana sent you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 6 (01:17:48):
A mental patient has escaped from a New York hospital
and costs have been warning the locals, quote, do not
approach him. Don't don't approach him. No, it's not. I
mean it's I was gonna make a joke about it
being some kind of democrat. I mean, who knows, but
he I can't tell. In the CCTV surveillance footage, is
that like a straight jacket or a puffer jacket? I
can't tell. But he was like running down the hallway.

(01:18:09):
They caught him in Christopher Morgan and he fled the
Garnet Medical Health Medical Center in Middletown. According to New
York State Police, he sprinted down the hallway during his escape. Yeah,
he looks like he's he's got crazy eyes. He was
seen wearing a long white jacket and they have been
telling all the local stay away, you got to call
state police Middletown for he's got crazy eyes. Totally. So

(01:18:31):
just you know, oh my. I Also, South Carolina plans
to carry out a firing squad execution. They say, is
it safe for witnesses? Are you a moron. Of course,
don't walk down range, you absolute jackwagons or thort. It's
so stupid. Is it safe for witnesses? You're not going
to be right there by the gun watching. He shut up.
So they said they're going to execute. This is pretty boss, dude,

(01:18:53):
South Carolina is going to execute a battie by a
firing squad. And that's isn't that today? Yeah, And people
are questioning whether this indoor setup is safe and for
the prisoner, and these people know nothing about guns. It
is kind of enterizing that it's indoor. But it's like
an indoor range. You know. I'm just saying, you know,
I would say take it outside and we'll put some

(01:19:13):
tannerite in there, you know, just for fun. We have
a lot more on the way, finishing out this third
hour stick with us super Beats. I talk about this product.
It's a Texas based product. They support your views and
they help bring you great programming and also they help
bring you great products too. This is the only Beat
brand that I trust, the only Beat brand that I

(01:19:33):
will ever use. And the hard shoes obviously I've talked
to you about those. But the new product that they
have is Superberine now. The Superberine is a plant based supplement.
It's made with an ingredient that helps to support your
metabolism and also helps to support your blood sugar levels.
And it's three times more effective than just your diet
and exercise alone. It's clinically research. What they found when

(01:19:55):
they were clinically studying this berberine that they use is
that it's shown to have a nearly ten time higher
absorption rate than standard burberning. It's used by doctors and
again from the makers of the super Beats Art shoes,
and it's all at SAMs Club, so you can go
to your New York Sam's Club. You can save on
super Beats Hart Shoes and the new superberine from Human
You'll love the way it makes you feel.

Speaker 6 (01:20:27):
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We're
at the bottom of this third hour here on Friday,
and of course you can listen every state in the
Union terrestrially, hundreds of different markets, and of course we've
got Channel three forty seven Direct tv X and Rumble
as well. We have been talking about a little bit
about black Rock throughout this week. We had Carol Roth
on yesterday. We were talking about it because of the

(01:20:51):
change up. Now Blackrock is taking over the two of
the biggest ports in the Panama Canal that are kind
of like bookending. You know, you have Babbo, you have
Crystal Ball, and and they're taking over these two ports
which were owned by C. K. Hutchinson Holdings that's based
in Hong Kong. Of course that's a CCP entity after
everything that's happened there, and a lot of us are
kind of scratching our heads, going, wait a minute, is

(01:21:11):
it better that black Rock is taking over these ports?
Is it? Then there was this piece and the timing.
I'm always suspicious. I thought the timing was suspect. This
came out March second and it said headline, BlackRock's woke
era is over. Subhead Asset manager has exited climate groups
and eliminated diversity targets as it tries to end ESG controversy.

(01:21:35):
And I thought that seems like somebody's trying to clean
up something. So that this with what's happening in Panama
goes down a little bit easier. I wasn't the only
one who thought that. In fact, I retweeted Will Hilt,
who's the executive director of Consumers First, who had a
big thread about this, and he said exactly what I
was thinking, that don't believe this article. Will joins us

(01:21:56):
now via Skype.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Will.

Speaker 6 (01:21:57):
So good to see you. I'm so glad that you
said this, because I I felt like I had a
tinfoil hat on and it just felt like they're just
trying to clear stuff up for Blackrock here. How what
was your response when you saw that story.

Speaker 9 (01:22:08):
You're one hundred percent correct to be suspicious data. And
thank you so much for retweeting me, because I was
trying to sound the alarm to people. You know, us
conservatives can sometimes be very cheap dates. You know, people
can hate on us and attack our values and our
way of life for years and years and years. And
in the second like, for example, Governor Newsom goes on
a podcast and agrees with one small portion of our agenda.

(01:22:31):
Oh great, like welcome to welcome to the team. Yeah,
and that's really what Blackrock is trying to do right now.
Even during the first Trump administration, no one was pushing
back harder on Wall Street against conservatives Dan Larry Fink
and his firm Blackrock. They were pushing harmful net zero
targets across all of corporate America. They're pushing race and

(01:22:52):
sex based quotas into boards and hiring and promotion, and
so we really should be very weary, as you write
point out that you were. They are absolutely trying to
cozy up to us, but we should not take their
initial word. We need to see changes in actions. And
while I'm obviously glad I support the President's agenda of

(01:23:13):
making sure that Monroe Doctrine is intact here and we
have control of this hemisphere, the fact that Blackrock was
so quick to jump to try and complete that for
the president should be viewed very suspiciously, especially as you
noted on the heels of this w Wall Street Journal
article that basically is just a corporate press release. If
you read that article, they don't quote a single person

(01:23:34):
except for the head of a far left activist pressure
group called Series, of which Blackrock is still a member.
They have not reportedly dropped out of that far left
climate activist group. So we should be reading this very
suspiciously your right to look at it that way.

Speaker 6 (01:23:49):
That's a very good point that they're still even part
of that group. So I guess they've you know, they're
not too dedicated maybe to extricating themselves from that whole ideology.
We're talking to will hild Via Skype. And what of
the companies that they invest in and help grow. I mean,
I'm sure a lot of those companies are still operating

(01:24:09):
according to those ESG and DEI standards.

Speaker 9 (01:24:13):
That's exactly right. And even if Blackrock ended all of
what they call their corporate engagement, that's the mechanism by
which they pushed this far left agenda. Even if they
ended that, today it is a little bit like you've
had a factory dumping toxic waste into a river. You
could shut down the factory, but downstream you now have
a pond that's completely contaminated with toxic waste. That is

(01:24:36):
a little bit what like corporate America is now that
you've had over a decade of Blackrock pushing this far
left agenda, because you have ESG metrics built into the
compensation schema for hundreds, if not thousands, of major US corporations,
and this was adopted at the behest of Blackrock and
other woke asset managers like Vanguarden, State Street, and these

(01:24:57):
pressure groups that they were part of, like the Net
zero Asset Managers and Series and the UN Principles for
Responsible Investing that Blackrock was a signatory to all of these.
So even if they shut down all their operations, they
have they have a responsibility, I should say, to clean
up the damage that they have done to corporate America.
There is a investor named Jesse Felder also on Twitter,

(01:25:18):
and he had a statistic and I don't know where
he got the data, but this was his information. He's
a hedge fund manager. He said that when he looked
at it, ninety percent of oil companies, both majors and juniors,
people doing you know, finding new oil and developing those fields,
have ESG metrics building their short and long term compensation schema,
which means that they are being punished for doing the

(01:25:40):
very thing they're supposed to be doing, investing in oil,
gas discovery and recovery. So we have a long road
to go. We're probably only a fifth ending of this fight,
and we certainly shouldn't take BlackRock's word for it when
they say, oh, you got us, it's over. Please just
go home. We will know we've won. When this every
all the damage that Blackrock has done has removed from
corporate America.

Speaker 6 (01:26:01):
Well, that's just it, because so much of the damage
is already done. So it costs nothing for people to go, yeah,
we're done with us now, because they are they already
got in deep enough where they were able to affect
some kind of you know, detrimental change that they wanted
to And isn't it true like in some of these instances, Well,
they're just like renaming it. They're just renaming certain things.
It's still DEI and ESG, but they're just calling it
something different.

Speaker 9 (01:26:21):
Yeah, we're seeing, especially you're seeing this in the DEI space.
You know, you're seeing some companies are just dropping the
E because that kind of requires the most violations of
US labor law. So it's becoming the di I Department.
Other companies are changing it to the Department of Belonging,
which is just sort of an Orwellian euphemism for race
and sex based discrimination and hiring and promotion. But that's

(01:26:41):
all DEI ever was, So renaming it belonging doesn't change anything.
And there's also a question of even the stuff where
they say we're just trying to make an inclusive work environment,
that can go so far that it basically creates a
hostile work environment for other groups. So when you push
the LG TQ agenda, for example, so far in people's
faces and your workers' faces every day, how is that

(01:27:03):
not a hostile workplace environment for believing Christians who don't
share that position. That doesn't mean that you can't you
have to discriminate for one group or the other, but
they should both feel okay having their own opinions inside
the workplace. And you've seen a lot of companies, for example,
like what happened with Target. You know, how could a
believing Christian feel comfortable working in one of those workplaces. So,
even the Department of Belonging, even if they just stick

(01:27:24):
to the quote unquote inclusion, which is where you see
a lot of these internal cultural left wing moves, even
that I don't think is fair to the American worker.

Speaker 6 (01:27:33):
And it's it's weird to me. We're talking with Will Held,
executive director of Consumers Research. It's just it's it's weird
to me that to watch a lot of people cheer
you know, particularly they move from C. K. Hutchinson Holdings
to black Rock, because that, to me, that's a pretty
that's a pretty powerful acquisition. I mean, you're talking about

(01:27:55):
two of the biggest ports that bookend that waterway, and
you know, we we were flirting with having all of
corporate America and take part in I guess the americanized
version version of the Chinese you know behavioral score, which
is what ESG and DEI all is. So I mean, naturally,
then you think, well, if that's still pretty much incorporated

(01:28:18):
through a lot of Corporate America and even really to
an extent of Black Rock, how does that factor into
I mean, I think it's it's not beyond the realm
of you know, realism to say, is that going to
factor into what we're dealing with in the Panama Canal
and the fees that are being levied and what happens
if people wanted to really like weaponize DEI and ESG
because it has happened, you know, at that level, I

(01:28:39):
don't know. I just feel I have a lot of
questions and I feel very uncomfortable about them being there. Now.

Speaker 9 (01:28:44):
You're one hundred percent right to have these these concerns
and these suspicions. Our first campaign, we've run about five
million dollars of ads educating the public about the damage
that black Rock has done to their way of life.
And our first campaign was actually Blackrock Loves China, and
it talks about all of the four or entanglements that
Blackrock has over there, all the quid pro quo that
they seem to be engaging in as they push a

(01:29:06):
destructive agenda on the US economy, doing things that they
would never do to the Chinese economy. China's building one
hundred coal plants a year in China, They're building gas pipelines.
Black Rocks helping to finance some of this stuff at
one point. So I guarantee when they walk into the
boardrooms of the Chinese companies that they're invested in, they
do not tell them that they do not have enough

(01:29:26):
blacks or women or gay people on their boards. They
only push that kind of nonsense, that kind of race
baiting and race and sex based quotas here in the
United States. So it does raise the question, has China
really lost control of this port If they've got their
hooks in Blackrock, then maybe this is just a cover
for them to still have a lot of control. And
I will even go one step farther. There's an interview

(01:29:48):
of Larry that I'm sure he wishes he could make
disappear where this was back in like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen,
and he's talking about Blackrock and he says, you know,
in America, Blackrock is an America firm. In Mexico, it's
a Mexican firm. In Italy it's an Italian firm. We
serve our clients wherever they are.

Speaker 6 (01:30:06):
Now.

Speaker 9 (01:30:06):
I understand to some extent, I get that when he's
talking to an Italian investor, he needs to be coming
out from their perspective. But it does raise the question
in China, is Blackrock a Chinese firm? Should we really
be thinking about this canal being having been reacquired by
an American firm if they don't really see themselves that way.
And Larry's own words would suggest that he doesn't really

(01:30:27):
see black Rock as a at core a purely American firm.
So I think it raised some significant questions that your.

Speaker 6 (01:30:32):
Right to raise, and that kind of goes into that.
I mean, that really validates this whole story. You know,
the Congressional Select Committee that was investigating black Rock because
they were concerned that American savings were being unknowingly invested
in a lot of these Chinese companies, these CCP companies
that were blacklisted by our government for nat SEC reasons

(01:30:54):
in human rights abuses. And I don't even know if
we have a full understanding of even whether or not
that's still a I mean, now it's probably I mean,
now with this, I think you're I think that was
completely accurate to say, is it still China still running
those I mean, is it though? Is it really entirely
different with black Rock? And then it makes me think, well,
how bad was it down there that we have to
have black Rock come in and you know that was

(01:31:15):
Rubio's first trip, was going down there. It just makes
me a little nervous. Well, hell do you guys have
done such a great job watching all of this. I
would love to have you back because we're going to
keep a eye on this. I feel like we, you know,
we absolutely have to as good Americans. So I appreciate
all the work you've done with Consumer's Research. Thank you,
Thank you so much for having me, of.

Speaker 6 (01:31:43):
So one of my favorite things to do is sometimes
I'll see the dry by comments on things and people
are like, you know, there's like a big CI facility
at Langley. Yes, I do scuttle, but I do know that.
All right, lunchbox, I got you. I know that there's
a headquarters there we're talking about. Maybe this isn't a headquarters.

(01:32:04):
Maybe it's like, I don't know, I said, I had
said that questionably legal. I can't remember how I worded it.
Because if Congress authorizes it, and that's how you would
get around the statutes of not having like a CIA
blackside on US soil, that's you know, then that's how
you get around it. But I just think it's weird
that the first response from the left is like to
protect the government, Like, what the hell is wrong with

(01:32:26):
you people? You got turned inside and out. You would
have literally been telling on Washington and going and snitching
to General how in New York during the days of
the revolution that was you. You'd have been snitches, snitches,
good stitches, just saying who said that?

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
Not me.

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
It's just weird to see people who are like what
the government says. And here's the other thing that we
were just talking about. So we were talking about like
the gum, the gummy thing, and in the difference between
just like the CBD oil and the THHC stuff, the
chemical compound or whatever. I sound like a fruitcake talking
about this because I know I know a little bit

(01:33:06):
more about this than football, and that's about it. I'm
trying not to sound like Joe Biden talking about guns.
So we just we were we were saying, well, you know,
because Kane was like, well you should take one one
day and do Brady, I'm like, I could not not
going to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
Yeah, that would be like if you took the second
hour and the third was you just experiencing the gummy
And I.

Speaker 6 (01:33:26):
Was like, I don't want to trip my beans off.
I'm not And then you were laughing.

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
At me because it's not you wouldn't trip.

Speaker 6 (01:33:31):
I know. I'm just saying I don't have an interest
in it. But and then I go, well, I don't
want to. I don't do drugs, and then you're like, well,
it's not you know what I just realized. I mean,
I'm still not going to do it. But the difference
between what we view as Ooh good drug or ooh
bad drug is literally the DARE program. It is Dare
to keep kids off drugs. I told I had a basketball.
I wanted basketball from the Deer program. We had like

(01:33:53):
whole assemblies, and then they brought in their drug sniff
and dogs, and I get I don't know where they
sniffed us out as an elementary school, I have no idea.
I was just like, ooh, pets, you know. I I
was just thinking about that. I'm like, hmm, that was
from that program. That's a no no drug. Then that's
an okay, you know what I mean? Things like interesting.

(01:34:14):
I'm just processing there's so.

Speaker 3 (01:34:16):
Many more side effects with pharmaceutical drugs that we consider
to be just safe, like even like tile and all.

Speaker 6 (01:34:22):
But I think if people want to want to do
consume that, and especially if it's like you know, I mean,
as long as you're not like running a car in
my house and you're taking my guns away and taxing me,
I just I just don't care. I just don't. It's
not I just I'm not opposed to it.

Speaker 7 (01:34:41):
That's the beauty of freedom. Yeah, exercises.

Speaker 6 (01:34:43):
I don't like the stinky stuff, like the boomer hippies
that smoked all of the marijuana in the world in
front of us. When I was a teenager at Willie
Nelson a Willie Nelson concert, I kept thinking, are we
going to get arrested because we're sitting behind them smelling
of it? Oh my gosh, this is crazy. I'm like,
are they going to get arrested? These old pe because
they were in their seventies. It was the weirdest thing
I've ever experienced. Like, the first people I ever saw

(01:35:05):
do drugs were old people, like my grandparents' age people.

Speaker 8 (01:35:10):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (01:35:12):
I knew that was going to come in. You gotta
stop hating on the old people. It's poor, poor old people.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
Just recognizing the reality of society.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
I don't know. But they were real nice. And then
one of them was like, can we get you a beer?
And I'm like, I'm seventeen, I really don't think that
that's appropriate, And you don't understand. Nana. Nana's kind of
so no, not going to happen anyway. Uh, just very
interesting things to kind of keep keep an eye on.
But you know, I'm just I also think too. If

(01:35:41):
people are worried about their states flipping, Conservatives need to
stop feeling comfortable with outsourcing their civic responsibilities to the government.
You actually are going to have to go out there
in door knock and canvas and change hearts and minds
in some fashion, in some way. You can't just go, well,

(01:36:01):
let's let the government regulate it. That's where I actually
am very against that. I don't like I don't like
excessive government regulation, and I don't like the government weighing
in in places where they shouldn't. And I am very
sensitive to that stuff. Just because it's my tea party DNA,
I can't help it. I'm just, you know, I don't
even like following directions. Like the moment I see the

(01:36:22):
tag that says do not cut, I'm like cut. I
don't know. All right, Today's stupidity camp.

Speaker 3 (01:36:26):
All right, it is Alexandria Acassio Cortes, also known as
AOC or you know dummy. Here's what she says about
taxes and how they're so bad. If you have a
tax cut, somehow, it's a cost. She couldn't be more wrong.

Speaker 7 (01:36:42):
Listen to this, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
Want you to understand.

Speaker 6 (01:36:45):
I want everyone to understand that tax cuts cost money.
We have to pay for them. So every dollar that
you they don't cost, that's all our money. You little
call me pay for some rich person's g wagon. And
it's also going to cut. How dare you keep more
of your own money to buy things that you would like?
That's our money? Maybe, I don't know. Stop spending because

(01:37:08):
it's government spending that costs, not people who keep more
of their own money. You don't have a right to it,
you bartending Marxist. Good night. I can't with these people,
the economic illiteracy, and we're choking to death on it. Folks.
That does it for us this week. I hope you
have a wonderful weekend. Make sure you go sign up
