Speaker 1 (00:00):
Finally we have some good news on the economy and
really the number one issue for many Americans the cost
of living. So we just learned that consumer prices in
February increased by two point eight percent year over year
zero point two percent month over month. Both of these
figures were a step in the right direction and both
were better than expected. So this is definitely very encouraging
(00:22):
to see.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It is encouraging to see, and it's encouraging to be
back with you here on the Dana Show. It's me
Rich Zioli from Talk radio twelve to ten WPHD in Philadelphia. Yeah,
good news on the economy, which is great. So the
media is going to have to report that it's bad
news on economy so that they can continue with the
theme that Trump has been in office for fifty days
and is somehow destroying the country. But he will be
(00:46):
destroying the Department of Education, which is great news. His
clear directive is shut it down, shut it down. And
Lynna McMahon had a lot to say about that as well.
And egg prices are coming down, which makes me very
very happy.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Egg prices are coming down.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Secretary of Agriculture Brook Rollins has a plan in place
to deal with the Avian bird flu. That doesn't involve
just the mass murder of chickens, which is what the
previous administration did, just murder chickens. She has an actual plan.
It's already paying off. Egg prices have gone down by
about an average of like a bucket a quarter a dozen,
which hey, if your family like I am where I've
(01:22):
got three kids who eat eggs a lot, well, two
out of three eat eggs. My one daughter won't touch them,
but I love eggs. That's a big deal, pus. You
can't have French toast without eggs. And I know it's spring,
but we're not out of the woods yet, at least
in some parts of the country. For that final March
blizzard where the French toast industrial complex will scare everybody
(01:42):
into thinking that there's gonna be a big storm, the
kids will be out of school for a day, and
we often make French toasts. At least if you live
in the Northeast where I am, you can expect at
least one more day of that before Mother's Day at
some point. So the it's good news that the egg
prices are coming down, and good news on the economic front.
Look at the tariff stuff and the trade war with Canada. Canada,
(02:04):
it's like it's like the special needs child to our north.
I'm not particularly worried about this. I'm really not, and
I don't think you should be either. I think a
lot of this is a psychological operation. So truly make
Canada the fifty first state. I really do believe that.
I really believe that they want Canada to be part
of the country. And the reason why is oil and
natural gas. They got a lot of it up there.
(02:25):
And from the manifest destiny perspective of this, just the
United States of America having a clear shot all the
way to Alaska with oil and natural gas, and then
if we have Greenland too, then we strategically position ourselves
to be able to protect our interests in the total
Western hemisphere. As Russia and China and a lot of
(02:46):
the Gulf states like Iran are partnering up and they
have a lot of oil and natural gas. What they
don't have though in their countries, which we have a
plethora of plethora Do you even know what that word
means is climate change coops? So yeah, no, that's the
difference is that in China and Russia They just want
to sell their oil, in their natural gas and their coal.
(03:06):
And Putin put a trillion bucks in his pocket last
year thanks to the European countries buying his liquid natural
gas and his oil.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So that's why we're see I.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Broadcast in Philadelphia every day, Pennsylvania being a huge oil
and natural gas they natural gas really more than anything,
but a liquefied natural gas export facility very close to
where I'm broadcasting would be able. The United States of
America could provide LNG to Europe and the world. And
you talk about weakening Vladimir Putin's position while bringing billions
(03:42):
and billions and billions of dollars to the economy, I
mean really just to Pennsylvania alone, because.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
That would be fantastic if that happens. Will they do it? Though?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The problem is you got a Democrat governor in Pennsylvania
by the name of Josh Shapiro who wants to run
for president. And so if you want to run for president,
the Democrat Party is obviously, as you've seen from their videos,
not only Cringey, but NUTSI and NUTSI Cringey, that's the
combination right now. And in all their street fighter and
(04:10):
Mortal Kombat videos. They all have the same theme, and
that is to just oppose everything that Trump stands for.
Trump wants to drill baby drill and frackfac frack and
an LNG export facility right outside of Philadelphia. We could
supply oil and natural gas to the world, but really,
I mean, we could lead on liquid natural gas and
(04:32):
get there about a week faster than states in the
southern part of the country. Europe would not have to
give Ladimir Putin any more money, which is nice because
if this piece deal with Ukraine and Russia goes through,
then that would also be a big deal for US,
no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So all those good things are happening.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But what it means then is if you really want
to get the economy moving again, because the CPI numbers
are great, it's good stuff, it really is. It's good
stuff if nothing else for consumer confidence. And I know
everybody panicking, or at least there's a lot of media
hype around panic over the stock market in four to
one k's and everything like that. And if you're retired
and you live on your four to one k I
(05:09):
get it. I understand that point. But the reality is
that a lot of this stuff takes time because the
previous administration destroyed so much of what our economic engine is.
And that economic engine, of course is really truly energy,
because energy drives prices in every single step of the way.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So that's good. That's good that.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We are going to for the first time in a
long time, lead the revolution on not just energy and
dependence for the United States of America, but energy dominance
for the world, which would be great. And that means
then that bad guys like Putin and bad guys like
Jijingping and Venezuela, with that nut job Maduro who won't
(05:50):
give up his own presidency even though he lost, they
don't have to be as powerful. I haven't even brought
up a rand yet or the Gulf States. What I
also love is that Dubai when they hosted the climate
change conference.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That was cute.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That was adorable because they had this climate change conference
there and everybody was drinking out of paper straws, which
I love because I love when they melt into my
drink and all those chemicals get into my drink.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
M delicious.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But Jubais going, hey, don't look over here, as we're
building new islands to drill off of as we continue
drilling and drilling and drilling. So the United States of
America has a vital interest in Western hemisphere oil natural gas,
and then dominance of that and looking not just five
years down the road or ten years down the road,
but one hundred and fifty years down the road of
(06:36):
being able to provide energy and not have to rely
on crazy people around the world. But of course, if
you're Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro, you're going to pose that
as you can't win the Democrat primary if you're pro
fossil fuel, just like how on the West coast the
left coast, you've got Gavin Newsom who's now trying to
yuck it up with every conservative or mega influencer who
(06:58):
possibly can to show everybody he's just a normal guy.
But there was a book that came out yesterday. Susan
Crabtree wrote a book called Fools Gold, all about California
and exposes Gavin Newsom's ties with the CCP and China
because he's got it. He's got a wine company it's
called like Plunge Your Ahead, I think or something like that,
(07:19):
and a plumberhead I don't know, airhead but whatever it is,
and it's all about getting his wine on the shelves
in China because they love those NAPA reds. So there's
this whole thing about him. And then there's another story
about Avenue Someom where he was bailing out the utility
companies that were not providing the assistance in the age
of the people of Los Angeles affected by the wildfires.
(07:40):
But they did give him lots and lots of money
for his for his campaign. So Newsom is just a creep.
But as you start looking at twenty twenty eight and
you start thinking about what the Democrat Party's going to
look like, it's very obvious to me when you watch
these videos, the the TikTok videos of AOC the street Fighter,
and you watch that and you see how cre is.
(08:01):
Somebody in the Democrat Party, a consultant, is running around
to the candidates and saying, we need someone here to
be the adult in the room, the voice of normalcy,
and to pull up a playbook from Bill Clinton's nineteen
ninety two playbook and try to go outside of the
lefty lane. I just don't know if a Democrat like
that can get through the primary. I really don't. I
(08:23):
just don't know if a Democrat like that can. I mean,
all signs right now point to honestly, even though he'll
be one hundred and forty two years old, Bernie Sanders
becoming the nominee. I mean, he's saying right now, this
is the scariest time in his lifetime. That's what Bernie
sang right now. Scariest time in his lifetime is right now,
this moment in time. He's lived through nine to eleven,
and he's lived through World War one, World War two,
(08:46):
the Civil War, he lived through the Crusades, and he's
saying that right now is the scariest time in his life.
But he's getting people to his rallies. He's getting a
lot of people to his rallies. And Bernie was the
guy back in the who had a clear shot to
the nomination, but the Democrat Party jumped in and stopped him.
So they can ensure that one of their puppets like
(09:07):
Hillary Clinton, a warmonger and then Joe Biden a puppet
warmonger in twenty twenty and not a guy like Bernie
who they couldn't control. But the difference though, going into
twenty twenty eight, is that who's in charge of the
Democrat Party now, who can control those levers to ensure
that they get another pro war puppet and not an outsider.
(09:29):
So you're gonna see more of this, and then if
you want to go a step further, then you look
into New York where you've got the love Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
He's back the nursing home killer, this serial killer. Truly,
we were talking about TV shows before. Dexter one of
my all time favorites. It's a show about a serial killer,
but he's a lovable serial killer because he kills other
(09:52):
serial killers. Dexter is envious of Cuomo and how he
got away with all the nursing home deaths.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Truly, he's really envious of this.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And Cuomo is running on experience to become the mayor
of New York City. He doesn't really want to be
Mayor of New York City, but he needs to rehabilitate
himself and he has plenty of time if he wins
to be able to rehabilitate himself and then run for
president in twenty twenty eight, again as an outsider. But
in order for the Democrats to achieve this, they all
have to stop Trump. That has to be their mantra,
(10:21):
not work with Trump, not try to be bipartisan in
bill consensus, but to try to stop him at every turn,
and then be the answer to trump Ism, be the
alternative to that. And I just I don't think you
can escape a primary in the Democrat Party right now
being anything else. I really don't they want. This is
(10:43):
a party right now that's cheering. When Tesla dealerships burn.
There was a time five minutes ago when governors like
Gavin Newsom, we're mandating that everybody had to buy a Tesla.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Now they're setting him on fire everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So I mean, I would imagine as Trump buys a Tesla,
I can see the left coming out of mandating that
we often buy gas powered cars just to do the
opposite of whatever Trump does. So if Trump's like, well
I'm buying a Tesla, They're going to turn on and go, well,
now you can't buy electric cars.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
We're going to ban them in our states. I can
see that happening too.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is whatever Trump is for there against whatever Trump wants
to do. They just oppose it, and that's how they work,
and they keep doing that. But inflation has slowed for
the first time in four months. That's CNN reporting on
that inflation has slowed. Let's play that clip for you.
This is a more good news for America. Cut number eight.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Well, this is welcome news for consumer. For consumers, prices
in February fell for the first time in four months.
Prices in February month over month increased abouto point two
percent and on an annual basis two point eight percent,
So that's encouraging news for consumers. We saw in this
report that shelter that is rent, made up half of
all increases in the report, but we did see decreases
(11:54):
on things like gas and also airline faars. Good news
for consumers.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know why gas prices are gonna go down because
we're gonna we're gonna start drilling again and we're gonna
we're gonna be able to increase the supply that is
so badly needed in the marketplace.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And that is great news for consumers in this country.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And his energy prices drop, you're gonna see prices drop
as well, because everything is dependent upon energy. That farmer
and the fuel that he puts into his tractor, you're
paying for that on the shelves with your food, which,
by the way, might become a whole lot healthier if
Bobby Kennedy gets his way. And the MAHA movement is very,
(12:34):
very real, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
All right, we got a lot to chat about. It
is the Data show. It's rich. It's the only in
for data.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm with you all week unless I screw up, which
is entirely possible. But otherwise, we got a great show
ahead for you. Donald Trump will be speaking from the
Oval Office. Is he going to say that the Education
Department is going to be shut down once and for all?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
We'll find out. Don't go away.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It's our friends over at Preborn. This is a great
organization that does so much to help moms and babies,
particularly saving babies, and every life is a gift. And
there's a story I remember reading about Andrea Bocelli and
Tim Tebow and Steph Curry. Apparently at one point their
(13:17):
mothers were told are suggested to them that they should
just have an abortion, and their mothers didn't listen. Can
you imagine how they good grief. Every baby has the
potential to change the world. So what Preborn does is
they meet women where they are, walk alongside them in crisis,
offering love and support and free ultrasounds so that they
can see their miracle of life growing within. And that's
(13:41):
when a woman faces an unplanned pregnancy, fear and pressure,
especially fear and pressure amplified by a society that wants
a woman to believe that she cannot raise a child
drowns out the truth right that she absolutely can and
that her baby is full of promise, and so Preborn
steps in. They step in with compassionate care, They offer hope,
support ultrasounds. They also partner with these women up for
(14:01):
the first two years of life to make sure that
they're on their feet and that this young, growing family
has the best chance of success. So they have a
real passion for saving babies from abortion and seeing women
not just be able to take care of their families
and become the mother that they know they could be,
but also come to faith as well. All gifts are

spending problems, but Congress controls the purse strings. Congress needs
to follow through and step up to control this spending
or we'll be back where we started. Check out the
Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you

Speaker 7 (15:11):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Well, first of all, let me just say that Billy Joel,
who's seventy five years old as postponed, has toured due
to serious medical issue after a surgery, sparking concern that
makes me sad because I love Billy Joel, and a
statement posted to Instagram reveals he's been halted as tour
has been halted after he underwent a recent surgery, so
he's expected to make a full recovery. That's the good news.
(15:39):
So I wish the piano man our best. If you've
never seen him in concert, I would highly recommend it
because it's really good. Not everybody's good in concert, Billy
Joel happens to be one of the best.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Absolutely no doubt about that.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Dave Portnoy hel Presidente Stool Presidente himself claims the White
House reached out to hire him for a job with
the Commerce Department. He's been a pretty vocal supporter of Trump,
but he tells it like it is. He said that
he was offered a job in the Trump administration but
turned it down because he'd have to stop running his
sports gambling and of course barstool. And I don't know
(16:12):
if he could still do pizza reviews if he was
in the Commerce department, but I highly definitely me personally,
I rely on those pizza reviews before I order a pie.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I really do I like him. I agree with his
reviews for the most part.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Sometimes I think he's a little little harsh, but I
do like his stance on pineapple, which is it should
never ever be on a pizza, so we talk about
Maha make America healthy again. This is a bummer. Girl
Scout cookies, they're sued. Girl Scouts are being sued over
alleged heavy metals and pesticides in their cookies. A study
found harmful metals and glyphosate in thin Min's and other cookies.
(16:50):
The lawsuit seeks five million dollars in damages, citing consumer
Protection law of violations.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Look, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I'll take I'll take a frozen thin mint with glyphosate
every day the week. Problem is that my kids sell
them and wind up eating all of them. That's the problem.
Try saying this five times fast. Transgender TikTok influencer jailed
for three years in Indonesia for telling Jesus to get
his haircut.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
That's it. Just try saying that five times. I'll say
one more time for you.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Transgender TikTok influencer jailed for three years in Indonesia for
telling Jesus to.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Get his haircut.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And finally, if the left did not hate Jeff Bezos
enough by opening up the Washington Post to other views
besides just we hate Donald Trump, well, they're really going
to hate him now because Trump's TV show, The Apprentice,
will stream for the first time on Amazon, not on Peacock.
You know, the show was owned by NBC and it
(17:45):
was on NBC. But Jeff Bezos, who has Amazon Prime,
he's he owns Amazon and they're streaming Network Prime. Well,
The Apprentice is going to be on Amazon, which means
the left is really.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Really going to hate him. It's the Dantash.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):

Speaker 3 (19:35):
It is the data show.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
It's me Rich is the only from Tucker DIDG twelve
ten WPHD in for data and the Department of Education. So,
as you know, I have three kids. Patrick is ten,
my son, my daughter Claire's eight. My other daughter reaganus five,
also on the terror watchlist. And the question that I asked,
that every quote that every parent asks is do we
need a federal Department of Education?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
It's a very very simple question. Is this what we need?
Need a Department of Education?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And you know Linda McMahon who's got a job, and
her job is to put herself out of a job,
which is something that I admire, I really do. She's
taken a job to put herself out of a job.
It's really remarkable when you think about it. But what
would happen if there was no Department of Education?
Speaker 7 (20:17):
For example?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
So I sent a friend of mine a text earlier
today because she had sent me a text a little
while ago, and I'm going to read this to you.
That is what this mom said. This is why Trump
won suburban moms. Many of them didn't really even like him,
but they voted for him anyway. For two reasons. The
Maha movement because yeah, they're putting crap in Girl Scout
cookies among other things, but also too, it's all the
(20:40):
woke stuff in schools. So this mom, suburban mom, tends
me a text a couple weeks ago. She says, Hey, Rich,
I hope you're well. I think some of this is
in your wheelhouse and looking for a resource or maybe
just some guidances. I know you have talked to many,
many people about this issue, but my oldest is in
fifth grade and it looks like some curriculs is in
their family life class. It's going to start the next
(21:03):
week or so, and it is regarding gender identity and
gender expression and all the other bs it encompasses. I
found out through another parent who has screenshots from the nurse.
So parents didn't even know about it. And now I
have a meeting tomorrow with the principal. I know this
eventually is a battle I will have to take. But
(21:24):
anything you can suggest for me now. What I did
send her was the Department of Education right now has
a form where parents can go and you can It's
called enddi dot ed dot gov. Schools should be focused
on learning. This is what the website says. The US
Department of Education is committed to ensuring all students have
(21:46):
access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination.
This submission form is an outed for students, parents, teachers,
and the broader community to report illegal discriminatory practices at
institutions of learning. The Department of Education will utilize community
submissions to identify potential areas for investigation. And the President
(22:07):
has already cut off funding for the state of Maine
because of their stance on the transgender issue when it
comes to student athletes. But I think that this is
the defining issue for so many parents, not just in
the suburbs, but in cities too. In cities too, they
look at this and they think it's crazy and they
just want it to stop. And a lot of these
(22:28):
policies are driven from the federal level. Well, sure, it's easy.
You get bureaucrats in Washington who work at the Department
of Education. They put in woke school guidelines, then they
send them to the states. In the States, you're like, well,
golly g there's nothing we can do about it. We
have to do what the Feds tell us. That's not true,
of course, but they found a way in the federal
(22:49):
level to tie grant money to ensuring that the states
follow the curriculum guidelines on the federal level. Now that's
crazy because every state's different, but they act like, oh, well,
if we don't do that, it'll be nineteen fifty all
over again, and certain students won't learn to.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Read and write. Reading, writing, and rithmetic won't happen.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So the Education Department is cut nearly half its workforce
and they're going to shut the agency down. Harvard has
announced a hiring freeze because now Harvard, which has an
endowment that I think it's like four hundred and fifty
seven trillion dollars or something.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Crazy like that, they they're worried. JOHNS.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Hopkins sees eight hundred million dollars in cuts and says
that we'll be devastating for Maryland and beyond.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But long past the.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Pandemic, kids are still skipping school in many places. So
let's think about the pandemic, because it really was five
years ago this week when schools were shut down, but
liquor stores were told they could remain open, which was
helpful to parents who had to educate their kids at
home because day drinking certainly help with that But Jason
Riley in the Wall Street Journal has a really good
(23:57):
piece on this long past the pandem kids skip school
in New York. So let's look at New York, for example,
as a great indicator of this. As Andrew Cuomo tries
to make his return the Love gov to become the
mayor of New York City, hoping that that will launch
him to the White House, the city's rate of chronic
(24:17):
absenteeism shot up from twenty five percent of students before
COVID to thirty five percent last year.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
What's happening with all that now?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned four years
ago after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct, is
now running for New York City mayor as the answer
to the problems that he helped to create. And one
of the things that he did, like so many others
on the left did, was shut down schools, and the
lasting damage to children is something that we still to
(24:49):
this day have not caught up from. We still right
now have not caught up to where we were pre
pandemic levels, particularly in math and science, where other countries
around the world are just picking our butts in this.
But it's even worse than that too, because it's a
whole mental health component of this that kids are just
more addicted to screens, and kids just they don't like
(25:09):
going outside anymore, and.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
All the other problems that that COVID brought.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
It was five years ago, and I remember it like
it was yesterday, that it was gonna be a Thursday
night would be a Thursday, would be the last day
in school, and then that would be it, and then
the school shut their doors, and you know, good luck.
Moms and dads will send you And it was pretty
funny too early, and not funny, but it's funny funny
in the sense of just pure lunacy. When they had
(25:35):
they would send home some I don't know, teaching points
or something and a quick video from the teacher, which
would get us through ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I kid you, not ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And by the eleventh minute, my wife and I were
looking at each other, going, what do we do now?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
What do we got?
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I mean, we both have to work. Even though the
kids are home, we still have to work. It's not
like we could really get childcare if nobody wants to
come to the house and be around. Can we just
had a baby, a newborn baby. Well point actually in March,
my wife was still a few weeks away from Reagan
being born. She was born April sixteenth. But my wife's pregnant,
she's on maternity leave, just getting ready for it. We're
on COVID now, the kids, Patrick and Claire her home,
(26:11):
and we're supposed to teach them.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
We don't know, we don't know what the heck we're doing.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
But this is when parents, for the first time opened
up a lot of books and said.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Wait, what are you learning? What is this?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And that was the beginning of parents discovering so much
of the indoctrination and books that were just straight out
pornography in their kids classrooms and learning about the indoctrination
that our kids were going through. I mean, for many parents,
they'd heard about this stuff anecdotally, but this was the
first time they.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Actually cracked a book open themselves.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Or a computer assignment or whatever it was, and said, wait,
I'm supposed to teach you that boys can be girls
and girls can be boys. That's our subject. Yeah, mom
and dad, that's what we're learning in health class. So
then what happened And after that parents turned around and
said hell no, then when schools gradually reopened, and depending
(27:06):
on where you were in the country, in some places
they opened up a lot sooner.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
So if you're listening to the show in.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Florida or Texas or said, well, you were lucky your
schools opened a lot faster than schools in Jersey did,
Philadelphia did, and New York City did. But by the
time they opened though, the kids had to come back
wearing masks. There was talk of mandatory COVID shots for
the kids. There was still the issue of curriculum. So
parents started going to school board meetings and they started
(27:32):
speaking up, and for many parents they were agitated. COVID
was very stressful for a lot of people. For everybody,
we had lost family members, We were scared, we were confused.
As life started to get a little bit back to normal,
we became angry because so much of the guidance that
they put us through was completely meaningless and made up
six feet social distancing, telling us that we had to
(27:54):
get a COVID shop. It did not stop transmission despite
their lives and led to a lot of side effects,
particular really in healthy young men.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
So parents were upset.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
They start going to school board meetings, and they start
speaking out. What happens, Well, Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice,
and the National Association of school Boards, they send out
a letter saying, you better watch it, you parents, you
just might be domestic violent extremists. We might be watching you.
The FBI might be in the back keeping tabs on you.
(28:25):
Like remember in the movies like The Godfather, where they
had the wedding, you know, and the FBI agents are
walking around taking picture of the license plates. Sonny comes out,
grabs one of the cameras and throws it down and then.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Just starts handing the guy money, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So the FBI used to do stuff like that, like
see who's mafia cars in the parking lot at a wedding,
And then they just started watching whose which parents, which
minivans were in the parking lot at school board meetings.
People got angry, really upset, but they dialed in, they
dialed into what was going on in schools, and they
learned a lot of things. And then you had a
(29:00):
whole other fact of this too, which is they realize
now that a lot of the COVID money we're talking
about trillions of dollars of money here, Well, billions really,
but billions of dollars was just left unspent. It was
supposed to go to ventilation systems and making schools better
for that, and the money went for nonsense. This issue
(29:23):
would lead parents to a gigantic wake up call. Gigantic
wake up call. All right, and then here's the other
thing that happened too. Parents started saying their kids to college.
Colleges were locked down too, and many colleges had vaccine requirements.
And then the kids got to colleges, and then their
little girl, who worked so hard to get on the
swim team, wound up losing to a dude in a
(29:45):
swim in a women's swim competition, and then you know,
the young girl would call home to her parents and say, yeah,
you know, we're we're really excited. We're gonna for the
first time. Now the team's going on a trip. We're
gonna go play another school. Great, yeah, but I gotta
share room with a guy. What, Well, it's a transgender woman.
But wait, wait back up a second, Yeah, no, no,
(30:05):
it's fine, I mean she she well, I mean technically
it's a guy. But a sorority house winds up having
to accept a biological male in their sorority house because
their national chapter said you got to take this transgender girl.
And all the sorority sisters turned around and en sued.
Parents woke up and said, what is going on in
this country right now? And they looked at the left,
(30:27):
and the left was all in doubling down on this
issue of biological males playing in sports, being in the
locker rooms, sharing rooms with girls. So all of these
things just brought the fever pitch up to a ten.
And then you turn around and you find out how
powerful organizations like the National Education Association led by that
(30:47):
little troll under the bridge, Randy Winingarten, the American Federation
of Teachers, all these other groups. You wind up realizing
how incredibly powerful they were with the CDC and they
were writing the school reopening guidance, and you hear stories
about how much money they give to democrats, Democrat politicians.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
You turn around and go, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
So you start you start bringing up, You start bringing
up lots of different things. You say, hey, not for nothing,
but what if my kid wants to go to a
different school. They say, nope, can't do that. So the
Democrats start fighting against school choice. Donald Trump comes along
and says, we're going to support school choice, and we're
going to shut down the federal Department of Education, which
really is the epicenter of so much of the nonsense
(31:27):
that occurred because the Department of Education working with the
CDC and a teachers' union on the school reopening guidance
and mask mandates and so much of this Wolk curriculum.
And then these suburban moms and dads turned around and
voted for him. For a lot of them, they hated him,
they really did. They voted against him in twenty twenty.
But between but COVID and schools and the transgender issue
(31:50):
in sports, the unhealthy foods, the MAHA movement, the vaccines,
not that they're anti VAXs, but they have a lot
of questions about things, and certainly the COVID vaccine when
it came to their kids, parents to wake up in big,
big numbers. So Trump gets elected largely because of this group,
and he makes good on the promise and signs directives
to school saying you better cut the crap when it
comes to this DEI stuff. You better knock get off
(32:11):
with the transgender sports stuff, all right, And there's only
two genders, male and female.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Period. That's it. And by the way, we're going to
shut down the Department of Education.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And while it takes an Act of Congress to do so,
there's a lot the president can do. The President of
United States can do a lot on the issue it.
Particularly what he can do is he can start the
process by which Congress can shut it down or make
it so incredibly ineffective that really its presence doesn't bother
any of us because it's just so meaningless, and all
(32:40):
it really does is redistribute wealth. That's all the Department
of Education really does. But truly, it would be a
simbolic win, a symbolic win of the utmost kind to
finally shut its doores and Lynna McMahon will body slam
that place out of existence. She's made her money of
World wrestling entertainment. I helped provide some of that money
to her growing up. I love wrestling, and she's got
(33:03):
plenty of cash issues. She doesn't have to worry about it.
I'll tell you one thing. She goes in there and
does her job, which is to put herself out of
a job. It's gonna make a lot of parents very,
very happy. This is the data show it's me Rich
is the only end for Dana. We got a lot
more to calm. The President meeting with the Irish Prime
Minister at the White House. What's he saying about Rosie
(33:25):
O'Donnell going to Ireland?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Don't go away now, I'm always going to carry and
I have zero problem and pump in a batty full
of lead, especially if they represent a threat to me
or my loved ones. But I also realized too that
a lot of people need different tools for different things.
You have blades, you have your firearms, you have your pistol,
you have your rifle. I mean, everybody's got different stuff
for those people like some friends of mine who live
in areas where even if they get a license to carry,
(33:48):
they can't carry hardly anywhere because the municipal or private
property restrictions. This is where bernagun comes in key because
you don't want to be completely defenseless in high crime areas,
and so the burnagun shoots chemical irritant projectiles can disabled
threats from up to fifty feet away. When you compare
it to regular stun guns, they only have like a
couple of rounds. Berna has five They have different models,
but the Berna SD is their most popular model. It's
(34:10):
their best selling model, and it's a good option for
self defense. There's nothing wrong with diversifying what you have
in terms of weapons. There you can go and check
out all the different projectiles and accessories. And if you
go through burna dot Com slash Data, that url is
the way that you willlock ten percent off. So evaluate

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show
podcast where every update comes with a little dash of
not so serious on YouTube, Apple or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
Actually it is because that was the president's mandate. This
directive to me clearly is to shut down the Department
of Education, which we know we'll have to work with Congress,
you know, to get that accomplished. But what we did
today was to take the first step of eliminating what
I think is bureaucratic bloat. And that's not to say
that a lot of the folks, you know, it's a
(35:09):
humanitarian thing too. A lot of the folks that are there,
you know, they're out of a job. But we wanted
to make sure that we kept all of the right
people and the good people to make sure that the
outward facing programs, the grants, the appropriations that come from Congress,
all of that are being met and none of that's
going to fall through the cracks.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And that's good because you want to do it the
right way, obviously, and again it will take an aact
to Congress. The President, in fact, just a few moments
ago in the Oval Office, was saying that we got
to move education back to the states and parents need
to be more involved in the process. And this is
another big issue in the election is the parental rights movement,
the parent rights movement, which is to say that parents
(35:49):
get to know what's going on in the classroom. The
President is saying this, you know, you got a lot
of you have. There's no reason why the states at
this point should not be in charge of the education
in this kind. But I'm telling you in blue states
like mine, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, it's a battle.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
It's a battle.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
There are Democrat politicians who do not want parents to
have any say over what's happening in the classroom, and
even a situation where their kid comes home and goes
to school and identify R. John identifies as Susie and
the school is not even allowed to let the parents
know what's happening, which of course is utterly insane. All right,
it's a data show with me, Rich is the only
We got a lot to talk about in the next hour,
(36:30):
coming up here on the data show, coming right back.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
All family pharmacies a great entity. I've used them several times,

Indeed, it is the data show, It's rich, it is
the only From talker to twelve ten to WPHD in
Philadelphia is an honor to be back with you today,
hanging out filling in for Dana, and some breaking news
all over the place, the President speaking in the Oval Office,
speaking about peace with Ukraine and Russia, speaking about tariffs,
and speaking about Rosie O'Donnell going back to Ireland. So
(38:22):
it's that's my favorite part of this entire thing. Rosie
on her way back to iowall, she's there. She left,
she left the country, she had to leave because of Trump,
Trump de arrangement syndrome. Poor Ireland. They're gonna wind up
giving her back. I'm telling you, they're gonna give Rosie back.
There's no way they're going to keep her, no way.
But I do give her credit, and I think she
(38:42):
deserves credit in the sense is that all these celebrities
for years kept telling us they were going to leave,
and she actually did leave. She's self deported, Rosie O'Donnell
self deported. And you know, all these all these these
celebrities for years like oh, Trump wins, I'm leaving the country,
and they don't go anywhere, Barbara streisand she just winds
up making herself more pancakes, bet Middler, Ben Affleck. I mean,
(39:06):
they all say the same thing, but they don't go anywhere.
So I give Rosy credit. She actually did leave. She
actually did self deport. Here's cut nineteen.
Speaker 8 (39:17):
And I'm here in Ireland and it's beautiful and warm.
Not physically it's actually quite cold. Moved here on January fifteenth,
and it's been pretty wonderful. I have to say. The
people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and
(39:41):
I'm very grateful in the process of getting my Irish
citizenship as I have Irish grandparents. And that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
That's what's going on. Oh man, the consumption of guin
in Ireland is about to triple really just having a
deal with her there. It is March. I mean, Sat
Patty's Day is almost here. It makes me very very happy.
I married in Irish and Irish girl not from Ireland,
but I mean, you know, she's half Irish American.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
But still, but it's a great time of year. I
love March for that reason. How can you not right,
how can you not have fun? So the Irish Prime
Minister is with the President in the Oval Office actually
right now as we're speaking, and they're having a chat.
I was just listening to it during the break and
what the President was saying about Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
It's very real, it's very serious. You know, Russia needs
to accept this deal.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
And he said that you see the images from the
battlefields here and it looks like something out of Gettysburg.
It looks vicious and this has to stop. The question is,
if Donald Trump is able to achieve peace, will they
give him the Nobel Peace Prize? Really, will they give
him the Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Because that, I mean, that would be amazing, It would
be absolutely amazing if that were the case.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
I don't think so, I don't call call me, call
me crazy, cas all me crazy. Here's what the Secretary
of State Mark Rubio had to say about a cut sixteen.
Speaker 11 (41:04):
Now, hopefully we'll take this offer and out of the
Russians and we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll
say yes to peace. The ball is now in their court.
But again, the President's objective here is number one above
everything else.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
He wants the war to end.
Speaker 11 (41:17):
And I think today Ukraine has taken a concrete step
in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Oh something else for you.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
The story of that student, this mah Mood Khalil, whatever
his face is in New York City. Mood Khalil, this
is the one that they wanted to port. Well, it
turns out, according to Human Events, my Mood Khalil had
its security clearance from the British government. The UK program
(41:47):
with which Khalil was affiliated is a flagship UK soft
power policy hm. The Middle East Eye has revealed on
Wednesday that my Mood Khalil, the Columbia University master's grad
who was detained by the Department of Homeland Security Saturday
night after his green card was revoked by the State
Department at security clearance from the British government. He worked
(42:12):
the outlet States as a program manager at the Syria
Office in the British Embassy in Beirut. From twenty eighteen
to twenty twenty two. Khalil worked as a local manager
for the Syria Cheveting Program, a prestigious UK government international
scholarship scheme, as well as for the Conflict Stability and
(42:33):
Security Fund. Came to the United States in twenty twenty three,
obtained a green card and completed graduate studies at Columbia
School of International and Public Affairs. In December of twenty
twenty four, British diplomats had kind words for Khalio. Former
diplomat Andrew Waller said that to gain his position in
the UK's embassy in Beirut, he went through a vetting
(42:54):
process to get the job and was cleared to work
on sensitive issues for the British government. Waller said that
the UK program with which Koalil was affiliated is a
quote flagship UK soft power policy program. It brings the
brightest students from around the world to UK universities. Mahmoud
(43:16):
ran its Syria program and interviewed hundreds, if not thousands
of applicants on behalf of the British government. He also
served as a local staff political officer and a translator,
both for language and context in meetings. Whiler had nothing
but kind words for Khalil, permee that vetting process had
(43:37):
no weight with the Trump administration, which, acting on the
President's order to quell anti Semitic protests on campus, has
set about revoking visas and green cards of student activists
who engage in the chaos and college campuses. And the
wake of the October seventh massacre, student activists on college
campuses took up the side of the Hamas terrorist who
perpetrated the program which killed twelve hundred people and kidnapped
(43:58):
over two hundred, more than fifty of whom are still
being held by terrorists and Gaza Is believed that many
of those Hamases holding are dead now.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
This Chevening Scholarship.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
As a program of the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office
and aims to support UK foreign policy priorities and achieve
objectives by creating lasting, positive relationships with future leaders, influencers
and decision makers. This kid from Columbia University who they
now want to deport, was a leader and spokesperson for
the violent demonstrations and occupations that took place on Columbia's campus.
(44:35):
Students and activists occupied the quad administration buildings and as
recently as January disrupted classes to distribute anti Israel pro
Palestinian pamphlets. Last week, a Bernard College library was occupied
and the NYPD was called in to clear the building.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Trump has called his detainment a.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Blueprint for the removal of other students in the US
on visas or green cards. The question, of course becomes,
is he getting deported just for his beliefs and his
speech or is he getting deported for other reasons. This report,
assuming it's true. This report really changes everything in the
context of kicking this kid out, does it not?
Speaker 3 (45:14):
Does it not?
Speaker 2 (45:16):
I mean, it's just because the UK, at the mayor
Cuiti con of London, for example, the UK is all
in on being pro Palstindian, so it wouldn't surprise me.
And the question becomes, do they send agitators here to
the United States of America. Now, I am no fan
(45:36):
of punishing people for speech, and even on this issue,
when we're dealing with with people with green cards, deporting
them for speech is a very very serious slippery slope
because if you just you imagine in the future of
President AOC or President Bernie Sanders deporting Israeli students and
saying that they're engaging and advocating for genocide against the
(46:00):
Palestinian people and blah blah blah, and we would be
outraged if that happened.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
So the speech thing you got to be very careful of.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
But now organizing and being part of an affiliate of
groups that are dangerous to the United States of America
and or its allies and or its policies is a
totally different story. And by the way, even when it
comes to speech, it still is legal for the United
States of America to deport somebody because it doesn't like
what they're standing for. That, I mean, that is the case.
It is legal, It is legal, and is a constitutional
(46:32):
probably has the Supreme Court fully decided on the issue.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
No, not yet.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
There's case law, though there's precedent on the books to
suggest that, yes, in fact, you can deport somebody over
political beliefs, because you know, obviously, if the United States
of America doesn't want foreigners coming here, you give them
a visa, you give them a green card, and then
they're working to overthrow the United States of America or
advocate for our enemies. And a lot of the case
(47:00):
law actually comes from the era of which the communist
paranoia was taking over the country, where we thought everybody
was a comedy and for the most part we were
probably right. But that's really where it comes from. It's
the idea that, hey, we don't want people coming here
to this country, and then they're advocating for the Soviet Union,
they're advocating for Russia, and they're here to be to
help with the eventual overthrow of capitalism in the West
(47:24):
and the rise.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
Of Mother Russia.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
But I can also see that being used against us
in the future by the left by saying that you're
a Russian sympathizer. You know, if you want the war
with Ukraine to end. Times have change now. The Russian
sympathizers are people like obviously Donald Trump for wanting the
war to end, and me for wanting the war to end,
Tucker Carlson, Dana Lash other people who want the war
(47:49):
to come to an end, who are sick and tired
of it. But the left and the media flip that
script to turn around and say that you're actually now
advocating for Russia.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
You're a Russian, You're a Russian sympathizer. You're part of
the problem.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
And I could see them trying to deport people in
this country for those reasons too.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
So you've got to be really, really careful.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
And obviously everybody has a constitutional right to be.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
Part of a group.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
We have freedom of association, and while you're in the
United States on a visa a green card, you do
have constitutional rights. But that doesn't mean the government can't
apport you. The question, of course always says should they
or are we opening up a door here that will
someday regret. But as more details come out about this
particular student, it's very obvious that it's more than just
simply his political views and his political speech.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
It may very well be his associations here.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
And it may very well be that he's part of
something that is dangerous and anathetical to the United States
of America's interests. The other the other thing, too, is
I always say it's a common sense test. Right if
Rosie O'Donnell is in Ireland and starts advocating for, say,
the end of it alcohol, which would be anathetical to
Ireland's interests, I'm just kidding, sort of, I mean kind of,
(49:06):
but they would have every right to boot her out
of there. I mean, they're probably gonna wind up booting
her out of there anyway. But when you're a guest
in someone's country, just like if you're a guest in
someone's home, you should you should respect the home, you
should respect that country and and and just be a
good Now, that's just that's the the only common sense test.
I mean, come on, it's like going to Italy and
(49:28):
advocating for the olive garden. You know that's anathetical to
Italian food and anithetical to Italian views, So they're gonna
turn around. Yeah, I'm just kidding. Who doesn't love a
good endless salad and breadsticks?
Speaker 12 (49:38):
Am I?
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (49:39):
But you got to use common sense here. You're not
a citizen of the United States of America, and so yeah,
the government can boot you out. They have the right
to do so. The real question though, is should they
and are we opening up a door that someday will
regret opening up. That's the only question that we have
to think about. And then we should think about it
because it is a very very important question, no doubt
(50:02):
about it.
Speaker 12 (50:03):
All right.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
It is the Dana Show. We got a lot to
chat about here.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
The President says Russia must end this war, and where
does everything stand on tariffs? And tom Assey hero or villain?
We'll talk about that as well. It's rich In for
Dana coming right back.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
And then, of course our partners. We can't do any
of those without them, our friends over at Heltech, great
Florida company, although they have now ayoming facility too that
they've opened, and I think I'm pretty sure that this
was one of the first rollouts of their new expansion facility.
And it's the awesome PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol
(50:41):
chambered in five to seven. Now I have not fired this,
but I have handled it quite a bit when I
saw it all at Shatcha. It is so light I
thought I was gonna throw it through the ceiling when
I picked it up. I don't know why. Forty percent
lighter than the next lightest five to seven. So I
have five sevens. There's none that I could actually realistically
with my frame, Carrie, I could carry this. It's that
(51:01):
thin and it's that light. Now they achieve this in
two different ways. They have the innovative rotary barrel that
makes it helps to make it the lightest five seven
on the market, but they also have eliminated magazines, so
it has a very unique top loading design and it
replaces the traditional mags with the stripper clips, so you
have a slimmer carry profile, twenty plus one capacity And
(51:22):
all the people that don't know anything about guns when
they say clips instead of magazines, you know they'll actually
be accurate by accident for one. So there you have that.
It's actually great for everyday carry for everyone. It's engineered
for simplicity and simple reliability, and the MSRP makes it
uber affordable at only three ninety nine. It's the first
of its kind. Caltech PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol

Tell them Dana sent to you and.
Speaker 7 (51:52):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for data's quick five.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
So a man broke into the apartment, hit a victim
in a face with a frying pan. That just seems
rude to me.
Speaker 2 (52:04):
It's Chambersburg, PA, so not far from where I broadcast
from the attack happened. And this guy he broke an apartment,
victim oprom the door. Three males forced their way into
the residents, assaulted the guy in the face and struck
him with a frying pan, and so hard that the
pan had significant dents in it. So you know, I mean,
(52:25):
we need frying pan control, We clearly do in this country,
and frying pan violence, the frying pan violence epidemic. I'm
sure we're probably have to have some bands on those,
maybe some age verifications too. A Colorado man is accused
of robbing the same store five times. I don't blame
I think that that's actually good because you know, it
takes a couple of times to warm up, so you
(52:47):
really can break to know the store. So he held
up the same shell gas station five different times, and
looking at this genius, you can tell that he obviously
is a brilliant, brilliant man.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
I'm surprised he's not leading right now. Five different times,
same gas station. And then they finally arrested them, and
there's gonna be a whole lot of charges against this genius.
What a loss for society though, that he'll be locked
up behind bars. Rat populations are surging in cities across America,
just in time for summer.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
That's right, rats, baby, I hate rats. Indiana Jones and
the Last Crusade just a reminder right there. And female
rats will reach sexual maturity faster. Wasn't that the same
with humans too? They're able to breed more and typically
their litters are larger at warmer temperatures in the lab
Ooh gross.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
How many of these rats, though, are transgenders? Would I
want to know?
Speaker 2 (53:41):
You know, I just I'm curious about that because obviously
we paid for a lot of those transgender lab rats.
I paid for this transgender lab rat, transgender lab mice,
I mean, depending on your you know your genre. President
Trump has halted funding to Maine schools as states refuse
to bar trans identifying athletes from women's sports. The pause
(54:01):
and funding impacts eight public colleges in the University of
Maine system. Guy's not joking around here, all right, not
joking around, So you know you better, you better cut
it out, Maine, cut it out. That's where they barred
that one legislator for speaking out. Poor woman, and we
know she did was express herself, and they they banned
her from the chamber.
Speaker 3 (54:20):
Oh, I got it.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
There's a there's a whole outburst of misgendering that transgender
congress person.
Speaker 3 (54:27):
I'll share that with you in a second.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
And finally, an embalmer busted for a funeral home horror.
This is bad Texas funeral home person used a scalpel
to mutilate a sex offender's corpse, then stuff the descendants
severed junk in his mouth. Woof, man, Well the guy
had a coming.
Speaker 3 (54:45):
What can I tell you?
Speaker 2 (54:46):
All Right, listen, it's the Danta Show here and Rich

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I just noticed the President's not wearing a green tie,
but the Vice president is jd Vance, the Irish Prime
Minister is. Everybody else is wearing green, but not President Trump.
He's still he's rocking his red tie. And I will agree.
I like green actually as a thie color. It's not
it's usually green as.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
A tie color is not a a not a real
popular choice. But it works for me. It doesn't work
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (56:42):
Red does not work for me though, however, because I
have roseatious so my face gets very, very red. So
the red in the tie brings out the red in
my face, so I gotta be careful with that.
Speaker 3 (56:53):
It is the Data Show. Welcome back, Glad you're here.
It's Rich Zioli.
Speaker 2 (56:56):
You can tweet me at rich Zooli rhzeo I I
broadcast out of Philadelphia. One of the funny lines that
came out of this Oval Office meeting with the Irish
Prime Minister, as a reporter asked him, you know why,
why would you why would you take Rosie O'Donnell, because
I had shared that with you earlier. Rosie is Rosie
has self deported, which again I give her a great
(57:18):
credit for the fact that she actually is the probably
only celebrity who went went followed through on her threat
to leave the United States of America if Trump got elected,
which is not a threat, it's actually a gift to
the people in the United States of America. But that
was the question of the reports of the Irish PM.
It's like, why would you take her? Cut twenty three?
Speaker 9 (57:37):
Arland is known for very happy, fun, loving people. Great
out your geting in this room right now that I've
met Why the world would you let Rosie.
Speaker 3 (57:46):
O'donald move to our les?
Speaker 13 (57:49):
Just go to lower your happiness?
Speaker 14 (57:50):
Love?
Speaker 15 (57:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 14 (57:51):
I like that question.
Speaker 15 (57:57):
Do you know who she is? You better?
Speaker 3 (58:04):
You're better off not knowing, you will though you'll find out.
Speaker 2 (58:08):
Unfortunately she's notice she's not gonna be just a calm
guest in your country. I can pretty much promise you
that he's probably gonna start trashing you for being nice
to Trump in the Oval office today. So there, it's
not good luck for the Irish to have Rosie O'Donnell there.
And I was speaking earlier about oil and natural gas prices,
so look, here's the deal. Good economic views today, and
(58:29):
a lot of this is because of energy prices and
oil prices falling faster. So we were just saying we
want gas to come back to two bucks a gallon.
I don't know if it'll ever go back that that low,
because a lot of that was during COVID when people
weren't driving as much, or there was just a lot
of supply sitting around and not as much demand.
Speaker 3 (58:44):
But we have a lot of demand for this.
Speaker 2 (58:46):
We are going to need it, and we have to
get energy prices down. And the best way to do that,
of course, is to put more on the market. You
put more of a product on the market, and you
can meet that demand, and then the prices can drop
this and then and then everything else in the economy
will benefit from that. So the price of everything you
pay will will benefit from that. I mean really like
(59:08):
if you think about it too. I love to cook.
It's it's one of my favorite pastimes. And I have
a five year old daughter, as I mentioned, so we
love to cook together.
Speaker 3 (59:17):
It's our fun thing.
Speaker 2 (59:17):
On Sundays, we always do pasta in my house Italian obviously,
and everything that you make, the food, all the prices
it's passed on to you by farmers who are dealing
with very high fuel prices. And even there's a lot
of fuel that used for pesticides and and and and
everything else to it. Of course, the transport from the
(59:40):
farm to the grocery store and from and the food
suppliers to the grocery store, and so energy price is
factor into everything. The energy price is down thet the
economy cooking. Again, that's the key. Biden on day one
of his administration kills a keyso nextop pipeline and then
starts going out there and revoking leases to drill on
(01:00:00):
federal lance. So Doug Bergham, who's now the Interior Secretary
and is the chairman of the President's Council and Energy Dominance,
they're going to allow those leases to go forward. Biden
was in court over this issue and ironically enough, because
you didn't hear about this from the media in all
the years he was in contempt at court because judges
were ordering him to grant these leases and he was
(01:00:21):
just still saying no.
Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
But he defied the courts all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Remember when the Supreme Court told them he couldn't do
his student loan debt repayment scam, and he went They
just did it anyway. But you didn't hear about tyranny
and fascism and the destruction of the Constitution and separation
of powers.
Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
You didn't hear about that when Biden did it.
Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
So here's President Trump talking about oil prices cut twenty four.
Speaker 15 (01:00:41):
I'm very happy with his oil is down to sixty
five dollars a barrel, and that's faster than I would
have We put on the gas. We stepped in the
gas in order to get oil. And what's happening. So
we're getting that down, and when energy comes down, prices
are going to be coming down with it. So in
(01:01:01):
a very short period of time, we've done a very
good job.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
But it takes time to undo the mess that was
caused it. Really and and I'm telling you, the biggest,
the biggest problem was that Joe Biden got into office
and then he allowed the nuts in his party, the
whack jobs in his party, to do everything he possibly
could to stop oil and natural gas. For example, they
(01:01:24):
put in a policy where you couldn't you couldn't transport
natural gas via train. Why not like, oh, it's a
safety issue, safety issue. There are literally buses powered by
natural gas that go through our city streets every day
in this country. Was that a safety issue? Is that
they wanted to stop the United States of America from
being able to export natural gas. But here's a real question.
(01:01:47):
Speaker by Johnston had made the point that Biden didn't
remember doing the liquid natural gas export ban. So the
story that's come out about the auto pen in the
White House being used to sign documents, the auto pen
is this, it's this elusive magic machine pen in the
White House somewhere somewhere in the White House or the
(01:02:07):
old Executive Office Building as at our Executive Office Building,
and you sign, you send a letter to the president,
and the president gets lots of mail, as you can imagine,
So they auto pen a thank you letter, declining, speaking requests,
all kinds of different things. It just it's autopen for
the most part, and typically things that actually carry the
weight of law, executive orders and things like that were
(01:02:29):
signed by the president. Pardons are actually physically signed by
the president and not auto penned. So the story that
comes out this week is that Joe Biden used the
auto pen on all these official documents. This goes to
what is I think the greatest political scandal of our time,
which is Biden's cognitive decline and the cover up of
(01:02:49):
Biden's cognitive decline.
Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
How how how.
Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Bad was it and were their forces within the White
House who were taking advantage of the fact that you
had a president who was literally hiding his own Easter
egg and then signing whatever they wanted with the autopen
because that's what Mike Johnson said, he told the stories.
He says to Biden, he goes, I can't believe he
put in a band in liquid natural gas, and Biden,
it's like I did, Huh. The problem is he may
(01:03:13):
have and just forgot, or it may have been people
who are taking advantage of the fact that Biden is
hiding his own Easter eggs and then went ahead with
the autopan and did it anyway as a policy move,
we don't know. We don't know, but it really opens
up the question, should we be investigating the pardons, executive orders,
and so many other things that were signed by the
President of the United States allegedly using the autopen I
(01:03:35):
think the answer to that is yes, because it's very
obvious that they knew this man was cognitively that he'd
lost it as far back as twenty twenty, and he
was a puppet, and then forces were using that puppet.
How far did they use him? On the issue of
oil and natural gas, though he did everything he possibly
could to stop the United States of America from drilling.
(01:03:56):
At the very same time, though he was doing everything
he possibly could to ensure offshore windmills, massive offshore wind
turbines that kill whales and dolphins do nothing for the
for the energy supply in this country. Nothing they do
cause consumer energy bills to go up. A lot of
people are discovering right now how their energy bills have skyrocketed.
(01:04:17):
Like where I live in New Jersey, for example, We've
discovered this and people are shocked, and you go through
the bill and you itemize it and you realize what
you're subsidizing. A lot of this is green energy nonsense
is what you're subsidizing. So in Caroline Levitt, let's cue up.
Cut number one here talks about a period of economic transition.
What we're really talking about is undoing the damage that
was created by this administration being so anti energy and
(01:04:41):
so pro green energy, which does not provide the energy
needs of the United States of America, certainly not the world,
but does enable Ladimir Putin to get a trillion dollars
from the same European countries that are giving Ukraine, you know,
fifteen twenty bucks to fight their war against Putin.
Speaker 13 (01:04:56):
See today, the numbers we saw yesterday, the numbers we
saw seat will see to tomorrow, are a snapshot of
a moment of time. And as President champ has said,
and I'm here to echo the remarks of this president
of this White House, we are in a period of
economic transition. We are in a period of transition from
the mess that was created under Joe Biden in the
previous administration. Joe Biden left this country in an economic disaster.
Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
It was an economic disaster, and it's going to take
time to undo that economic disaster, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
It's going to take time.
Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
And as part of that, though, you have to ask yourself, well,
what's the long term play of the left here when
it comes to energy. Democrats are proposing twenty thousand dollars
fines for gas stations that don't warn customers about climate change. No,
that's a real story. That's a real story. So I
was in pharmacy the other day and this pharmacy was
(01:05:51):
selling cigarettes. I wasn't buying them, but I just noticed
a sign and the sign said that cigarette companies have
lied to you.
Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
They're ordered by law with the sign up and the
cercaret companies have to pay for them. You know, they
lie to you about the harms of smoking and blah
blah blah. Well, the idea of the left and people
like aaven Newsom going after oil, natural guest companies says, oh,
they lie to you about climate change. They didn't tell
you that, they didn't tell you the truth about climate
change and how their product was leading to climate change.
(01:06:22):
So gas station owners and other retailers who sell fuel
in Colorado could be whacked with a twenty thousand dollars
fine if they don't include labels warning consumers that by
using the product they are harming the climate. Now, first
of all, there's zero actual scientific evidence that that is
the case, but don't let facts stand in the way
(01:06:44):
of a good bill of totalitarianism. One of the sponsors
of the bill, State Representative Juni Joseph, said that they're
trying to encourage encourage people in Colorado to buy or
walk because everybody knows burning fossil fuels contributes to greenhouse emissions.
But struggle to explain then, why it was imperative for
the state to warn gas buyers about a problem. Well,
(01:07:07):
I tell you what it is, what it comes down to,
and this is this is this is what's going to
bite the left in the you know what in very
short matter of time.
Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
On the one hand, they're destroying.
Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Tesla's and they're they're they're arguing that by destroying a
Tesla factory, that's actually a great form of protest.
Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
At the same time, they're still.
Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
Trying to warn people and and and get them out
of gas powered cars and into electric vehicles. Tesla electric vehicles.
Elon Musk made the electric vehicle something palatable to the masses,
something that the masses could afford, And now you've got
people who are who are selling them burning them, calling
them hate mobiles. This is the actor Jason Bateman who
(01:07:48):
sold his Tesla because he said it felt to him
like he was just driving around a giant Trump bumper sticker.
So yesterday, when Trump has Elon Musk at the White
House and gets his shiny red Tesla and the cyber
truck and everything, it occurred to me that a Tesla
is now going to be a sign of conservatism, which
I'm okay with.
Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
You drive whatever you want, gas electric, you know, do
you do you? But for me, the only reason why
I would ever want one is the self driving car.
I'm a gen xer baby. I grew up watching night Rider.
I want I want kit you know, I want night Rider.
I want a car that drives me. But I heard
from people that have the self driving feature on the Tesla.
First of all, you have to pay for it. Secondly,
(01:08:29):
I would only want it if I could take a nap.
You still have to keep your hands on the steering
wheel and you basically still are driving. It's just it's
it's like driver assists more than anything else. No, what
I want is I want to be in the backseat
taking a nap, and I want the car to do
the driving, and then I want the car to give
me all kinds of ideas on how I can defeat my.
Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
Enemies, just like kid did Tonight Rider. Okay, we have
that car, I'll buy it, whether it's gas or whether
it's it's electric. But I would prefer a gas powered
car like Kit because that was a gas guzzler.
Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
That that Oh man, what a great car. And that
was David Hasselhoff in his prime. All Right, I don't
care what you tell me about Baywatch. Night Rider was
Hoff in his prime. But here's MSNBC cut twenty two.
Speaker 8 (01:09:13):
But then you also overnight have this post claiming.
Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
That protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal.
Speaker 8 (01:09:20):
He said today he would label violence against dealerships domestic terrorism.
Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
Yeah, it's it's there. You go, you know, burn them
down and try to put them out of business. And
it doesn't matter about the workers. I mean, screw the workers,
you know what I mean, Forget them, Forget the workers
and the people that are actually building the cars, servicing
the cars, selling the cars. Who cares. This is why
the left has lost the working class in this country.
Is there are people right now building these cars and
(01:09:47):
they're thinking like, why are these people trying to put
me out of a job?
Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
Because they don't care about you. That's why they just
don't care.
Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
It's the data show. It's rich, the only in for data.
We got student test scores falling. The President talking about
shutting down with the parne of education. This is really
really good news. What has he said about tariffs? Don't
go away.
Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
I've seen the amazing changes relief Factor has made for
so many people, and I've seen it firsthand through my

Speaker 7 (01:11:07):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
It's time for Florida man.
Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
I feel like this one was inspired by Philadelphia. Bodycam
video shows a Florida man strikes a police horse and
then leads to a wild horseback chase and a crowd
That happened Philly after the Eagles parade. The guy punched
a Philadelphia police horse in the face. Well, this Florida
man did the same thing. Video shows the moment a
(01:11:37):
Florida police officer on horseback pursued a twenty two year
old suspect after he struck the officer's horse. Bodycam video
shows the Tampa Police Department mounted patrol officer and horse
clearing a busy street on March ninth, and the officer's
trying everybody off and g everybody away, and then then
you hear the cops say to the one kid, don't
touch the horse. And then the guy, this kid, his
(01:11:59):
name is the suspect is Justin Rieira allegedly struck the
police horse before running off into the crowd attempting to
evade apprehension. The horse can be seen galloping through the
crowd as the officer went after him.
Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
Stop you're under arrest. Watch out.
Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Eventually the officers were able to reprehend him. It's a
felony to hit a horse, So there you go. But yeah,
that's a little bit Philadelphia inspired here. Just don't don't
punch police horses in the face.
Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
It's not nice. It's just really never punched. You shouldn't
punch anybody in the face.
Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
But a Florida man was arrested after being accused of
trying to steal his aunt's home. The Fort Myers Police
Department arrested twenty seven year old Gregory Matthews Junior on
Monday after being accused of trying to steal property rights
to a woman's home that was listed on the clerk
of the Court's property fraud Alert. Gulf Coast News learned
that the victim was former city councilwoman Christine Matthews, who
(01:12:49):
resigned from position in twenty fourteen. Investigators say that Christine
tried to transfer ownership to her home to her brother,
but was waiting on a physical copy of her license,
but then the the brother died before the paperwork was finished,
so the kid finalized the deal for himself, using his
dad's information in a fake driver's license and its property theft.
(01:13:12):
I've seen the commercials. I didn't really think it was
a real thing, but there you go. But they got
him anyway. It's this genius used a fake ID by
using a photograph from Facebook, so you know, I'm sure
it wasn't exactly very high reds and probably not that
hard to spot. And finally, a Farida man wins a
free speech case over Trump Banner's county ordered to pay
(01:13:35):
him forty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
A Santa Rosa beach man has just won a free
speech lawsuit against Walton County. He had hung two large
banners supporting Donald Trump from the balconies of his home,
and they say that the banners violated property maintenance rules,
but he said it was a right to free speech.
The county began to find him fifty dollars a day.
Case went to court. He had a lot of support
across the country, and a judge rule of the county
(01:13:58):
was in the wrong order county officials to pay him
forty two thousand dollars in legal fees and fines. And
the man is still flying his Trump banners. Well, there
you go. Good for him. That's a win for the
good guys and a win for the First Amendment, a
win for freedom of speech. That makes me very, very happy.
It's the data show. It's rich Zeolian for Dana our
(01:14:20):
number three. It's a big one. Don't go away.
Speaker 5 (01:14:22):

through it. I've had a million times. I knew exactly
what it is. Urgent Care, the one that was around
me was already closed. It was after ten o'clock. I mean,
it was just rough, and I order medicine from All
Family Pharmacy, had it overnighted and was able to start
(01:15:04):

Bendeed, it is the data show. It's me rich.
Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Is the only in for data today is yearly inflation
ray cool so to two point eight percent. And Canada,
oh Canadas, when it comes to electricity fees for US customers,
welcome back to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Great to have you with us today.
Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
So the Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that Canada's most
populous province was suspending its twenty five percent surcharge on
electricity exports to the United States, hours after President Trump
announced additional twenty five percent duties on Canadian aluminum steel
mis statement, and x Ford said he had a productive
conversation with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and the two would
(01:16:28):
meet in Washington Thursday, alongside US Trade Representative Jamison Greer.
Now I have a clip of Howard Lutnik here talking
about this issue. I think, I mean, look, the bottom
line is this, there are a lot of tariffs that
Canada imposes on the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
It's not fair. It has to be fixed.
Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
If President Trump is able to use these tariffs as
the leverage to get a level playing field, then great good.
I mean, that's wonderful. That's a fantastic thing. And this
is what Howard Letnix said regarding the issue cut numbers.
Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
What does the president want? He wants to.
Speaker 16 (01:17:03):
Worry about major things for national security of America, steal
in aluminum, tariffs that's today, right, autos coming April second, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals,
things that America must have. So you can imagine these
are the kind of tariffs. We're going to make sure
these things come back to America and are built in America.
(01:17:24):
And then on April second, he does his reciprocal tariffs,
which basically say to all the countries in the world,
come on, you treat us a certain way, we'll treat
you the same way. Let's make it fair. You want
them high, they'll be high like they are now. You
want them low, they'll be low. But let's treat each
other fairly.
Speaker 17 (01:17:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
Look, I mean I think that that's it right.
Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
And if we can turn around and we can say
that it's going to be a level playing field, great.
So if you're anti tariff, and I know that there
are a lot of people that are, I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
I understand that point. People want free trade. I get it,
but it's not free. If we're still paying tariffs on
goods that are important into this country from Europe from
some World War two era rebuilding project, that's stupid. If
we're paying tariffs and goods coming into this country from
foreign countries and then they're taking our stuff and it's
they're not paying any tariffs on.
Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
It, that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
You want fairness, And I think ultimately that's what's going
to become the outcome of this because the United States
has enormous leverage in all of this, and the President
has to say that the issue is the border and
security for him to be able to use his power
as president to put him the tariffs in place. But
ultimately what you're going to have here, I think is
(01:18:39):
a level playing field. That's what ultimately is going to happen.
Here's Caroline Levit talking about this issue yesterday. Cut number two.
Speaker 13 (01:18:45):
He's actually not implementing tax hikes. Tariffs are a tax
hike on foreign countries that again have been ripping us off.
Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people. And
the President is a staunch advocate of tax cuts. As
you know, he campaigned on no taxes on tips, no
taxes on overtime, no taxes on social Security benefits. He
(01:19:07):
is committed to all three of those things, and he
expects Congress to pass them later this year.
Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
Now, the other issue that I mentioned earlier today is
the issue of deporting this student from the United States
of America.
Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
And let me play this clip for you.
Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
This is what the White House pres Secretary said yesterday
about this kid, Cut number three.
Speaker 13 (01:19:26):
And this administration is not going to tolerate individuals having
the privilege of studying in our country and then siding
with pro terrorist organizations that have killed Americans.
Speaker 3 (01:19:38):
And here's Senator Kennedy on the issue Cut fourteen.
Speaker 18 (01:19:42):
Mister Coyle is not an American citizen. He's here with
a green card by word. Indeed, at Colombia, he's shown
that he supports Hamas. That's a violation of the Immigration
and Naturalization that which says you can be deported if
you support a terrorist organization.
Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Here's something else to think about on this issue, all right. So,
Ilia Shapiro is a libertarian minded constitutional scholar, and he's
also the director of Constitutional Studies at the Manhattan Institute.
Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
He and Daniel D.
Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Martino, who is a fellow over there. They're both immigrants.
They wrote a piece today in the New York Post.
It's the right thing to do and well within the
law to get him the hell out. And here's a
little bit of their piece that they wrote, because I
found this fascinating because again, like I said to you,
I'm a pro First Amendment advocate. But at the same time,
(01:20:36):
I understand that this is within the law. I understand
it's constitutional. I also understand that there's more to the
story here than just simply the kid's speech.
Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
And yes, we have to be careful and we have
to use these things carefully.
Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
But they write the following here, this is the right
thing to do if we want to fix campus culture.
And contrary to misinformed or disingenuous critics, it poses no
First Amendment problems. Not only is Khalil Syrian not Palestinian,
the Democrats are wrong about both the principle and the
application of the law. Because the Democrats are running around
(01:21:09):
with free Mahmoud Khalil.
Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
They wouldn't say the.
Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
Name of Lake and Riley, but they can't shut up
about saying Mahmood Khalil. Presidence is a privilege Indeed, it's
a basic application of US immigration law, which says that
people here in a visa taurus, student, employment, or otherwise
who reveal themselves to be ineligible for that visa quote
inadmissible in the parlance of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(01:21:36):
end quote can have.
Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Their visa revoked.
Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Even President Joe Biden's State Department once told then Senator
Marco Rubio that it could revoke the visas of Hamas supporters.
Holders of temporary visas, like students, who are deemed ineligible
generally do not get a hearing or anything beyond an
administrative order that can not be challenged. Green card holders
like Khalil, on the other hand, are entitled to appear
(01:22:00):
before an immigration judge who must determine that the government
has met the burden of proof to make the person deportable.
Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
There is no doubt that pro.
Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
HAAMAS protests and college campuses across the country are detrimental
to the foreign policy goals of America, which include protecting
the state of Israel, one of America's closest allies. They write,
in Khalil's case, we don't know the details of the
due process has been given, but one thing is clear
the executive branch has the authority to vet non citizens
based on their views thanks to laws Congress has passed
(01:22:34):
and the Supreme Court has upheld. While the relevant Immigration
and Nationalization Act provisions could potentially be abused, which is
again what I've been warning about and we have to
be careful of, there's no evidence of abuse in this
case so far. Rather, they're being applied selectively and in
furtherance of the national interest.
Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
But that's not all Trump can do.
Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
The i INA's inadmissibility provision also empowered as a president
to quote suspend the entry of all aliens or any
class of aliens whom he determines to be detrimental to
the interests of the United States. During Trump's first term,
the Supreme Court upheld that broad granted presidential discretion to vet, restrict,
and even ban immigrants, and thus to direct executive agency
(01:23:21):
action in that regard. At the culmination of the high
profile travel ban litigation. You remember that that whole thing
in the early days of the first term of the
Trump administration when he said, if you're coming from these
particular countries, we're not going to let you into the
United States of America and they said he has the
right to do so under the Immigration and Nationalization Act.
(01:23:43):
Like I've been saying, I mean, nothing about this is illegal,
nothing about this as unconstitutional. The only question is should
we do it. And we have to exercise care and
caution here. And I like the idea of doing it
when it's just bigger than just simply speech. But it's
about actions because it's a veryry, slippery slope and we
get into the area of speech, as we all know,
(01:24:05):
and we have to always think about what the Left
will do in the future. We would be foolish not
to think about that the consequences of that, given how
they have weaponized just about every aspect of government and
weaponized every aspect of the Justice Department, all the rules,
all the powers we gave them after nine to eleven
to keep us safe, all the other things. In Trump
(01:24:29):
Vie Hawaii, the court uncade and executive order restricting travel
from various countries, with Chief Justice John Roberts affirming that
the only statutory requirement is that the President find the
entry of the affected aliens to be detrimental to the
national interest. That's exactly what's happening now. They write again,
this is Ilia Shapiro, director of the Constitutional Studies Program
(01:24:50):
at the Manhattan Institute, and Daniel Di Martino both are immigrants,
both are constitutional scholars, and both are libertarian minded, pro
free speech, pro First Amendment attorneys. In one of the
first executive orders Trump signed this year, he directed federal
agencies to strengthen vetting and screening of those seeking admission
(01:25:11):
and those already in the country, because the United States
must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present
in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes towards
its citizens, culture, government institutions, or founding principles, and do
not advocate for aid or support designated foreign terrorists and
(01:25:33):
other threats to our national security. Finally, and this is
very important piece here, as part of his additional measures
to combat anti Semitism, the President ordered the use of
all available and appropriate legal tools to prosecute, remove, or
otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti Semitic
(01:25:54):
harassment and violence.
Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
All of this makes eminent sense.
Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
It's the government's duty to screen out visitors and migrants
who would be harmful to our country, including those who
reject our values or are hostile to our way of life,
such as communist Nazis or Islamis. There's nothing objectionable or
controversial about removing those who harass, intimidate, vandalize, and otherwise
(01:26:22):
interfere with an educational institution's core mission. And then they
conclude by saying two words more please. They want more
of this now. Again, as I mentioned, you've got to
be careful because like everything else, we try to be
reasonable and use the law and use the constitution. The
left is not, and we have to guard against the
(01:26:45):
weaponization of these things or we'll come back to regret
it down the road. But in so far as I
can tell, in this case, while restraint is appropriate, and yes, this.
Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
Kid has due process rights.
Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
Being a resident, permanent legal resident of the country and
married to a United States citizen, he has due process
rights and we want to see those exercised.
Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
I mean, obviously we do, clearly we do.
Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
But you know, if the left winds up making him
a cause to leb, they're gonna wind up regretting it,
no doubt about it. There's no doubt in my mind.
All Right, it's the data show here on a very
busy Wednesday, the President in the Oval Office today with
the Irish PM more of the antics of the left.
Speaker 3 (01:27:30):
I mean, it's just it's amazing to me. They don't stop.
Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
You got to hear with Senator Alyssa Slotkin said why
you voted for Trump? She's got an amazing revelation which
I'll share with you here.
Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
I'm a Dana show. It's rich and for Dana. Don't
go away.
Speaker 5 (01:27:45):
The folks who will bring you the program, it is
our friends over at super Beats. The super Beats Choose,
brought to you by the makers of the Superbats Hard Choose,
a great product and of course the only be product
that I will recommend or take myself. They also have
their new Superberine. It supports healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels.
It's one easy to take capsule a day. It is
(01:28:07):
a higher absorption so the clinically researched burine that they
have Burberine that they have in here actually is more
ten times higher at ten times higher absorption rate than
standard berberine. And that higher absorption means that you're getting
healthy metabolism and healthy blood sugar benefits in just one
(01:28:32):
capsule and that's all you get to take every day.
There's new GI distress. There's if you're worried about burberine
causing GI distress, the Superbarine's unique formula with the grape
seed extract actually improves tolerability. And now you could get
both the new Superberine and the number one best selling
super Beats hard shooes at Sam's Club. Just visit Sam's Club.
(01:28:52):
That's where you can get the super Beats heart shoes
for heart health support and the Superberine for healthy metabolism
and blood sugar support. Today, get on the road to
better cardiovascular health support.
Speaker 7 (01:29:04):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Data's quick five.
Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
So the United States has been added to the international
watch List for rapid decline and Civic Freedoms. Yes, CIVICUS,
an international nonprofit, puts the country alongside the Democratic Republic
of Congo, which by the way, is nothing democratic about it, Italy, Pakistan,
and Serbia.
Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Here's all.
Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
Why is Italy on the list? That's offensive? Why are
we on the list? This is insane? Well maybe it's
because of this. USDA stops funding research into trans men's
menstrual cycles. Let me say that again, because I know
that that's a little bit like you might have said, Zioli, tog,
you stutter, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Agriculture Secretary Brook.
Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
Rollins, in a post on X announced that the USDA
is canceling a six hundred thousand dollars grant towards this
research project used to fund research into menstrual cycles in
trans identified.
Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
We are a horrible, horrible country, are we not?
Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
The United States Postal Service warning customers of major disruptions
as mail carriers are set to take on a new task,
and you'll face being questioned. Trump's new plan could have
mail carriers knocking on your door.
Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
Or will they do?
Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
Will they haul you away? Will they will they try
to enter your home? Or will they just count you
for the census? That's right, it'd probably be that. So,
you know, I like my mailman. Richie's a nice guy.
Texas Senate poise to pass bill requiring classroom displays of
the Ten Commandments, and they're freaking out about that too.
How can we have a classroom display of the Ten Commandments?
(01:30:43):
What if the children don't want to look at it?
Like the scene and Raiders of the Lost Ark don't.
Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
Look away, Marion look away. Literally, it could be like that.
Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
I'm just saying, you know, and then everybody looks at
the Ten Commandments, they just you know, the ark of
the Covenant, and then you know, their faces melt. I'm
just saying it's very possible it could be the case.
I'd be very very cautious of this if I were you.
And finally, this is something we all needed to know.
And I didn't even know this was a thing werewolf syndrome.
Did you know this was a thing werewolf syndrome. Well,
(01:31:14):
a teenager who's been called werewolf Boy and monkey Boy
due to his rare condition, has been awarded a Guinness
World Record for having the hairiest male face in the world.
He has a teen with werewolf syndrome or into the
Daily Star, and he does kind of look like Teenwolf.
I mean, if you ever saw the show or the
(01:31:34):
movie teen Wolf, he kind of does look like teen Wolf.
I'm just saying, real life teen wolf. His name is
Lalite Patadar, eighteen form with a super rare condition known
as werewolf syndrome, which has left his face almost entirely
blanketed in hair. Poor kid, but he's only around fifty
documented cases reported worldwide since the middle ages, making him
(01:31:55):
one in a billion, and now he's in the Guinness
Book of World Records.
Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
He said, I am speechless.
Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
I am so grateful for this honor that I'm at
a loss for words.
Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
I like, how am I?
Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
I don't want to change my look, and nor should you,
my man, Go with it, Go with it and be
proud and howl at the moon. All right, this is
the Dana Show with me Rich is the only protesters
are rallying to support anti Israel activity. The President says,
it's time for Russia to come to the table. More
to come, don't go away.

Speaker 12 (01:33:56):
We cannot keep our promises on medica. We simply must
make the cut some waste fraud and abuse in Medicare
so that the benefits and the premiums are untouched. We
owe it to our seniors, We owe it to our country.
Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
That was a vampire, you know, is Nancy Pelosi. He
a little flashback right there, back when Democrats used to
talk about, you know, cutting waste, fraud and abuse, things
like that, which nowadays, of course, you can't touch.
Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
You're not allowed to go after waste for an abuse.
Excuse me, But.
Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
There was the time, Yes, I mean, there's even a
time when Bill Clinton had a balanced budget and push
for a balance budget amendment, push for a balance budgetmendments
to the constitution line out in veto and Bill Clinton was.
Speaker 3 (01:34:47):
Out there talking about cutting the size of the government.
Hell so is Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
But now we can't touch waste, fraud and abuse, and
the Democrats have to use it as a scare tactic.
You know, they're very close to going back to the
time of the used to warn us that Grandma would
be thrown down the staircase.
Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Remember that whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
They'd say, they'd had a great graphics of Grandma in
a wheelchair at the top of the staircase, and Republicans
want to come over and just go oh pu push
and blah blah blah blum. That's what they used to do.
I remember those scare tactics. We're very, very close to
that again, Wirst. The reality is, though, is that we
have a situation where in say like one Red State,
(01:35:25):
for example, illegal immigrants cost that healthcare system six hundred
thousand dollars in the state of Florida.
Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
The data show sixty seven seven hundred er visits in
Florida last year were by patients who entered the country illegally.
Now hospitals cannot turn them away. That was a law
that was signed in the eighties. It was a compromise
bill in order to try to deal with the people
that were in the country legally at the time, hoping
that we could stop this once and for all. We didn't,
(01:35:57):
and so the costs keep going up. URA Agency for
Healthcare Administration announced the latest update to its Hospital patient
Immigration Status dashboard Tuesday, which records the total number of
hospital admissions and emergency room visits based on a patient's
immigration status. The data for twenty twenty four showed a
total of sixty seven thousand, seven hundred emergency room visits
(01:36:17):
were made by patients who illegally entered the country, leading
to roughly seventy six point six million in Medicaid payments
for their emergency care. In total, the state paid nearly
six hundred and sixty million dollars for the cost of
care provided to immigrants outside the United States illegally. That's insane.
(01:36:41):
That's an insane amount of money. And there's nothing they
can do. They they have to take care of them. So, yeah,
there are real consequences, real cost of these things, no
doubt about it. Now, this is something interesting. So there's
a member of Congress from Delaware. It's a biological male
(01:37:02):
and identifies as a woman. This caused a whole battle
on Capitol Hill over bathrooms, bathroom rights and bathroom issues
and everything else, and all hell broke loose yesterday and
a committee hearing when the chairman of the committee referred
to this member of Congress as congressman talking about Representative
(01:37:22):
Sarah McBride. So the chairman of the Committee accurately called
Sarah McBride, mister, that's just I mean, it's look, I
can say I'm Batman, trust me, I'm not Batman. I
can say I can identify as Batman. I can tell
you I'm Batman. Doesn't make me Batman, just like a
(01:37:43):
like a man can identify as a woman, doesn't make
him a woman.
Speaker 3 (01:37:46):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:37:47):
Now, I mean, should the chairman have said representative versus congressman.
Would that have been more polite, more decorum, or do
we just finally address this not since head on once
and for all and say we're gonna stop. We're gonna
stop living a lie, We're gonna stop pushing a lie.
We're gonna stop going with this idea that we don't
entertain the truth truth for its own sake, men or men,
(01:38:10):
women or women.
Speaker 3 (01:38:11):
And that's it. You're free to dress up like whoever
you want.
Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
But I mean, you're still a man, still a dude,
even if you get it chopped off, You're still a man.
Getting it chopped off doesn't change that status.
Speaker 3 (01:38:24):
Here's cut twenty representative from Delaware. Mister McBride, thank you, madam.
Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
Chair ranking Member Keating also wonderful Stuart.
Speaker 17 (01:38:34):
Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please? Yes, we
have set the standard on the floor of the House
and I'm simply what is that standard?
Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Mister chairman? Would you repeat what you just said?
Speaker 17 (01:38:50):
You introduced a duly elected representative from the United States
of America, please.
Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
I will the representative from Delaware, mister McBride.
Speaker 17 (01:39:00):
Mister chairman, you are out of a order. Mister chairman,
have you no decency? I mean I have come to
know you a little bit, but.
Speaker 3 (01:39:09):
This is not decent.
Speaker 9 (01:39:10):
We will continue this.
Speaker 17 (01:39:11):
You will not continue it with me unless you introduce
a duly elected representative the right way.
Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
This hearing is adjourned. There are you know? I mean, look,
the Sarah McBride is a man. I don't know. I
don't know what to say.
Speaker 2 (01:39:30):
I'm tired of of of this, this idea that we
all live. Alie you you could argue that decorum and
it would have been more polite if the chairman had
just said representative McBride. But you know, for the freak
out by the left over that issue, because the congress
person was just going to go on with the question.
(01:39:52):
But the Democrats have to use this as a moment
to grandstand and if they want a grandstand over this,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:39:57):
I see you.
Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
This is what I don't understand is that they're still
doubling down on all this. They're doubling down on this
transgender issue, particularly when it comes to kids and sports.
And I don't get this, don't I don't understand this.
You're talking about such a small minority of people. We're
not talking about rounding up and killing these people. We're
just we're talking about the truth of science, which is
that there are just two genders. Here's the person who
(01:40:21):
is turtle gender, who currently sits on the Oregon Consumer
Advisory Council, which advises decisions about mental health services in
the state. Turtle gender. Now, I went to the University
of Maryland, so I'm a Terrapian. So I'm a turp,
But I still don't identify as a freaking turtle. It's
my mascot, I roof for the terrapians. I say, don't
(01:40:44):
fear the turtle. I also don't think i'm turtle gender.
Cut twenty one.
Speaker 14 (01:40:50):
Hello, everybody, it's JV. Turtle and pronouns. Pronouns are turtle
and they them. Hello, everybody, it's JV and yousay them
or turtle pronouns. Hello, everybody, it's JD DA them and
turtle for pronouns in the Pomfildy gene area.
Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
Go back in your shell and come back when you're
not crazy. I mean, this is mental illness. We're now,
we're now, we're now identifying people as freaking turtles.
Speaker 3 (01:41:17):
This this is okay. It's not okay. There's nothing okay
about this.
Speaker 2 (01:41:21):
It's it's it's insane and it's nuts and it's crazy,
and we should not entertain this. We should give these
people the help what they need. I'm sorry, but we should,
bottom line, give people the help that they need. I
when you're dealing with kids here, because I really don't
care what you do as an adult. You want to
identify as a turtle, freaking identify as a turtle, I
don't have to tell you, but I think we can
all agree it's mental illness.
Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
So why don't we just give people help?
Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Wouldn't that be the kind compassionate thing to do instead
of oh you're a turtle?
Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Oh are you a brackish water turtle? A fresh water turtle?
What kind of turtle are you?
Speaker 12 (01:41:56):
And?
Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
Can I make soup out of you, because turtle soup
is delicious.
Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
Have you ever had it? Snapper turtle soup?
Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
Maybe identify as a snapper turtle and just go around
biting people. Now, this is an interesting clip here rapper
Little Yakti Little Yakti openly calling Black Lives Matter a scam,
because Black Lives Matter is a scam. It was a
scam with why Black Live Mansions BLM, Black Live Mansions
(01:42:25):
where you get all these people buying mansions using money
rays through the Black Lives Matter movement.
Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
Take a listen.
Speaker 11 (01:42:34):
Oh well that yeah, that's a that's a good Yeah, yeah,
it's just blurry.
Speaker 13 (01:42:37):
I'll be doing so much, will be so b A
scam clip.
Speaker 7 (01:42:44):
That BLM was.
Speaker 1 (01:42:46):
It was literally a scam.
Speaker 11 (01:42:48):
They had bought mansions and you probably wouldn't know anying
about it because you don't care about black people.
Speaker 3 (01:42:52):
Don't follow up. I do care about black people. Look
at my chocolate boom. It is a scam.
Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
There are a lot of people out there there their
race hustlers, and they use stuff like this to divide
America and to get rich off of it. And it's over.
It's done, it's over. President Trump's election was the death
of woke. The fact that he did so well with
black voters means the end of woke, the end of
this nonsense. And we should be trying to unite as Americans,
(01:43:19):
not look for ways to divide us. That would be
the healthy thing to do. That's what we should be
doing in this country.
Speaker 3 (01:43:26):
But not. Senator Lista.
Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
Sluckin gave the Democrat response to the other not the
Trump state of the State joint addressed to No, No, No.
Senator Sluckin says people who voted for Trump did so
because of this cuts seventeen.
Speaker 13 (01:43:40):
Right.
Speaker 19 (01:43:40):
I think there's a feeling in the country and I
always often say this. You know, we're about to turn
two hundred and fifty years old, right, We're still pretty
young for a country. These are our like our angry
teenage years.
Speaker 12 (01:43:52):
Right.
Speaker 19 (01:43:52):
We are going through this push and pull where we're happy,
we're sad, we want this, we want that. And what
do you do when you have a teenager who's threat
and themselves and others? Do you just try to get
them through this period alive so that their brain can
fully form and you can come back to kind of
the country. Now I'm talking about our country. We're pendulum swinging.
(01:44:13):
We're mondulum swinging, and so.
Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
Yeah, I don't know what to do about that.
Speaker 2 (01:44:20):
This is where young country, but we got mood issues.
Is that where moody we're cranky? Is that what it is?
Moody and cranky? I guess, So are they take a
quick break. We'll come right back. And what I could do?
I guess I gotta fix this, Steve. So I'll do
that on my end. But there's more to come to
President today speaking in the Oval Office, and what about
the dangers of micro plastics?
Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
What can we do about microplastics? This is a real thing,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:44:45):
Secretary of Health and Human Services, Bobby Kennedy, he's out
there trying to deal with additives, food preservatives, all these
things like red dye number five and yellow number seven
and all these things that make our kids nuts, the
additives in our foods. The MAHA movement, that may America
Healthy Again movement. And I kept thinking to myself, of
all the things I got to worry about, do I
really have to worry about microplastics? Turns out the answer
(01:45:08):
to that is yes. So should you be afraid, be
very very afraid. It's the data show We're coming right back.
Speaker 9 (01:45:15):
On the go and need a quick news fix with
a fun twist. Follow Dana's Absurd Truth podcast for bite
size and formative episodes, perfect for your busy schedule on
Apple or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:45:27):
So microplastics, Yeah, that's the thing. And you know, for
a while, I kept saying to myself, I got enough
to worry about in my life. Do I have to
really worry about microplastics? Do I really need to worry
about this? But it turns out yeah, because you can't.
Once they're in your body and your lungs and in
your brain, you can't get rid of them. And so
it's really a thing. So now Bobby Kennedy, as the
HIG secretary, is speaking out more about this. And the
(01:45:49):
other issue too is fluoride in the water. Utah becoming
the first state to ban or at least I don't
know the first date, but the first date under Trump
at least to ban florid and the drink water. The
issue with fluoride is that you can use it for
your teeth by brushing your teeth and even rinsing with
(01:46:10):
a fluoride rinse. You don't need to have it in
the water supply where you ingest it, because it even
says on toothpaste like don't swallow, spit it out, so don't,
don't you know. But the other issue too in tap
water is chlorine. See, I like to cook, and I
what I do is I use a sour doaugh starter.
Because if you make bread or pizza, which I do,
(01:46:32):
you have to use a sour dough starter.
Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
It's essential.
Speaker 2 (01:46:35):
It will change your life if you if you like
to bake, and you don't, you've never used one. I'm
telling you right now, it's going to change your life.
Sourdough starters are fantastic. Not only is it better for
your gut for sets why sour dough bread is healthier,
but it also helps rise.
Speaker 3 (01:46:50):
It gives that crispy, chewy component to the dough and.
Speaker 2 (01:46:52):
Everything like this. But chlorine kills my sour dough starter.
So for a while, we were just using regular world
tap water, and I was like, this thing keeps dying.
What's going on here? And then I started using bottled
water and it was still dying. And then I realized
that that a lot of bottle water still contained chlorine.
So I had to make all these phone calls to
figure out what what what I could get water wise
(01:47:14):
that could take And then we just finally just bought
a whole house water filtration system because I just said,
you know, forget it.
Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
I can't, I can't, I can't deal with it.
Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
And so this this this thing takes out microplastics and lead,
and it takes out chlorine and it takes out fluoride
and all these other things. And that's good because I
have kids and I don't I don't want to worry
about this, and and.
Speaker 3 (01:47:35):
It tastes good.
Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
It's good, it tastes you know, it tastes fine. The
But the the other thing they say is you should
never heat up plastic, like if you're going to microwave something.
And this is a real problem for my generation because
remember we used to have TV dinners. I love TV dinners,
but TV dinners came in and plaid. You microwave them,
and then you know, you plastic right there and then
(01:47:57):
and then so the chemical break down when the heat
leads to microplastics. So they say, don't do that, don't
heat up plastic. So don't wrap any if you have
anything wrapped up in saran wrap, don't nuke that, you
know what I mean? You got to take it out
of the out of the plastic wrap, and also you
got to be careful about uh. They even say it
can get through your body, through the pores in your sink,
(01:48:20):
in your in your skin. So they really also say
you got to get like a shower filter if you
don't have a whole house filter and everything like this.
Speaker 3 (01:48:26):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
It's just I'm glad that Kennedy's there to ask these
questions and raise these issues. And like I said, it
is a big reason why I think Trump won because
the Maha movement, a lot of moms out there are
just turned around and going.
Speaker 3 (01:48:40):
What's I don't like? We don't want this. We don't
want this in our in our in our showers and
our drinking water and everything like this. We don't need
these things forever, chemicals and chromium six and all the
other stuff. But for the most part, we don't. We've
never talked about these things. And if you just said
I don't want florida in the water, they went, oh
you you, what do you you think fluoride's bad? Well,
(01:49:03):
why am I drinking it? I'll brush my teeth with
it and spit it out like it says to do
on the bottle of toothpaste. But then you gotta be
careful because those microplastics are also in things like toothpaste,
a lot of skincare products, and then they go into
the into the into the water. You know, it goes
down the drain, goes to the water filtration treatment plant.
But apparently the treatment plants don't have the problem. They
(01:49:23):
can't filter out the particles are so small that they
can't filter out the microplastics, so it goes right back
into your water supply that you wind up drinking. And
I don't know how long it's gonna take to get
to the bottom of all this.
Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
And I think you got to just figure this out
for yourself, but at least for us, not only because
I have three small kids, but I don't want freaking
microplastics in my brain.
Speaker 3 (01:49:43):
I got enough problems.
Speaker 2 (01:49:45):
I got enough problems in my life without having microplastics
in my brain. That's how I look at it. So
if I can filter that stuff out, great, filter it out,
filter away, baby, as far as I'm concerned. And ever
since we put in the filter, my sour dough starter
never been better. It's fluffy and lovely and when I
make my pizza dough, which I'll probably wind up doing tonight.
(01:50:06):
As a matter of fact, I probably will. I gotta
go do my show in Philly now from three to seven.
You welcome to join in and listen on the Odyssey
app wherever you are in the country. But I'm going
to do that, and tonight I'll make some dough, and
then this weekend we'll fire up a pizza off and
we'll make some homemade pies.
Speaker 3 (01:50:20):
That's great. They call them a bread. It's a beautiful,
beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
All right, listen, I'll be back with you tomorrow, assuming
that they still want me. In the meantime, keep a
conversation going. I'm on x at rich Zioli RI I
c h Z E O L. I. Have a great
rest of your day. This is the Dana Show. Thank
