(00:01):
No, I don't think that,but I will say that these kind of
protests haven't been helpful, and ironicallythey are actually working against peace in Middle
East as well. And it's alsovery strange to me that now they're not
actually protesting for a ceasefire now,and there's been a very valid ceasefire that's

(00:21):
been on the table now in Hamashas been refused to take that on.
And I don't know why we're not. If we're going to protest thing,
why aren't we protesting that they're demandingHamas to take that kind of a ceasefire
and then that would that would endall of the trauma and the chaotic going
on there in Gaza. Well,I mean, he's makes the most sense,

(00:43):
I think, almost out of theall of the Demo. I can't
believe I'm saying that of all ofthe Democrats, which is I mean never
never, just things that you neverthought you'd say about other actual Democrats.
Welcome to the program, Dana lastyear with you top of this first segment
of the radio program. Uh,and you can make sure you sign up
for Subtex. Stuff goes out thereregularly. So we got some things to

(01:04):
cover because we there was a busyweekend of college graduation ceremonies that were canceled.
Columbia canceled theirs, and I thinkthere were some other colleges that were
also canceling their event because they becauseyou have these NonStop protests that just keep

(01:26):
they keep continuing, and it's incrediblyI mean, you can't have a graduation
ceremony while you have people out thereprotesting for hamas and and blocking everything and
screaming. I think it was whatis at Old Miss they were telling all
the protesters, uh, they weretelling them to blank off or something like
that. What were they saying it, Oh, I can't actually say that
on air. You're like, waita minute, Dana, No, you

(01:47):
can't say that on radio. Youcan't say it. So the you can't
you can't say my bad, youcan't say that word. But they they
canceled a number of these, uhgraduation ceremonies, and like I said,
Columbia, they canceled Columbia's and uh, they've they were targeting a bunch of

(02:09):
others. And I don't know,I mean, at the same time,
I don't really I don't really feelbad, But then at the same time,
I kind of do does that mean? I mean, I kind of
feel bad, but at the butbut I feel like all of these colleges
created this situation. So you know, we've talked about this before to the
point I'd rather shoot my head myhead in. I'm done. I'm done

(02:30):
talking about it. It's been ridiculous. It's ridiculous at this point. We
you know, I mean, thisis what happens. You you you go
and you send your kids to auniversity. Everybody knew what these universities were
like for a very very long time, so it's not like it's like a
big giant, you know, surprise. So some of the stuff, like
I said, we're following this werethe latest with Gaza and the Rafas situation

(02:51):
because guess what, Hamas rejected yetanother offer of you know, civility of
peace. They won't release the hostages. They've there was a barrage over the
weekend where Hamas killed three IDF soldiers. But they want to ceasefire. Though,
how are you demanding a ceasefire whenyou're literally the one who just will
not stop firing. I mean,that's like the million dollar question. So

(03:14):
all of this was happening, theyclaimed responsibility for the attack. They're doing
this, I guess in response toIDF plans with regards to RAFA et cetera,
et cetera, and they claimed thefatalities. They said that yes,
it was them, they did it. So that was all over. Just
so the weekend with the college protest, more evidence coming out about leftist groups

(03:38):
that are training these idiotic students,which this is. You know, this
is not anything new anybody who's beenfollowing this for any period of time,
and we've known this since the occupydays by the way, that this was
the case. So this is what. This is all the stuff that's This
is all the stuff that's been happeningover the weekend. So in addition to
that, we're going to touch ontoday some of the economics stuff as well

(04:00):
happening. Uh, there's we've gotsome economic news, We've got some tax
stuff. We're gonna touch on allthat good stuff. So you're gonna wanna
like again, you're gonna wanna followalong with all of it. All right,
So first and foremost, as wegetting down into it, do we
have let me play this. Thisis audio sound bite. It's one of
the well, I don't know becauseI guess you can't really hear any of

(04:24):
it because it would all be itwould all be censored. Audio sound by
eight. This was in Michigan,Michigan's graduation ceremony where the crowd cheered as
anti anti Israeli pro Hamas protesters wereremoved because they were ruining the graduation ceremony.

(04:47):
Listen much enough. People are havingenough. They've just had enough.

(05:25):
They've had enough of it. They'vehad enough of it. They're done.
They're absolutely done with all of it. They're done with the protests, They're
done with everything. And uh.That was in University of Michigan. This
was Columbia audio SoundBite six, wherethe university president was trying to have both
ways not working so well though,Listen to this. No matter where you

(05:48):
stand on any issue, Columbia shouldbe a community that feels welcoming and safe
for everyone. We tried very hardto resolve the issue of the encountment through
diale book. Many people who gatheredthere were largely peaceful and cared deeply about
the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Academicleaders talked with students for eight days and

(06:11):
nights. The university made a sincereand good offer but it was not accepted.
No, it wasn't accepted. Justlike Amasa's their stuff is never there.
They always reject every offer. Soyou know, there you go.
This was audio sound by nine.This was Big Gretch. This was Governor
Gretchen Whitmer. Uh this her daughtergraduated and Democrat protesters were screaming at her.

(06:39):
Listen to this genocide? How doyou justify genocide? How do you
justify genocide? How do you sleepat night? Hie? Genocide? Do
you what are you doing about Palestinianchildren? Appreciate? What are you doing
about Palestinian students? Do you haveasked? How do you ask? If
the graduation you were with my daughter? What about all the children and that

(07:01):
are in math graves? What aboutthat? Yeah? You know, are
you doing it? I get theintellected official and you're supposed to be nice
to like these protesters and stuff,But honestly, this is so it's it's
so insane. Uh, I mean, I that's ridiculous. What are you
talking about? The maths? Neverbaby to do? What about Amas?

(07:26):
No? One never asked this questionof Amas. It's never ever asked ever.
So this was just some a tasteof what was happening like over the
weekend at all of these different graduationceremonies. Uh Like, for instance,
audio somebody to eleven this was agraduate. Imagine being at your child's graduation
ceremony and a graduate covers themselves infake blood and storms the stage. Listen

(07:53):
to this the stage attention, please, you're I ask the audience for your

(08:18):
attention. Please, we respect justyour opinions. We respect you. No,
we don't you voice them. Wedon't respect you, don't respect We're
not respecting. Yeah, that's there'snothing to respect about that. There's nothing
respectable about that. Dude covers,covers themselves in fake blood, storms the

(08:41):
stage. Where's again nobody says adamn thing about Hamas or the protesters that
Hamas still has. All of theseterrorist loving morons are going to They're going
to give Hamas a pass. They'regoing to give people who kidnapped babies and
rape women to death of pass allof it. Can you imagine again,

(09:05):
being at your kids graduation ceremony?Can you made a good point, because
Cain was saying in slack, imaginehaving it disrupted by COVID and no,
my son was in twenty twenty andLorraine made this comment in slack and it's
very true. Like in twenty twenty, his graduation stuff was interrupted because of
COVID and all that's that you couldn'tgather all the you know, everything was

(09:26):
shut down because of COVID. Andnow you have in another election year,
by the way, just coincidence.I'm share that now we have graduations being
shut down because of professional protesters,and that's exactly where we are professional protesters.
And just I mean, there's somuch of this saying we have a
lot more of it. We're goingto get into. We're going to get

(09:46):
into more. Additionally, like Isaid, the Hamas rocket barrage because they
don't really want to cease fire.While all this was happening, Al Jazeera
got mad because Israel's shut down outJazeira, their office. Al Jazeera,
as you know, is a propagandaIt's like it's like the it's like hamases

(10:07):
Pravda, like what Pravda is toRussia. I mean Al Jazeera is to
Islamo fascists. And Al Jazeera theywere upset because they said that the Israeli
government closed their operations in Israel,and they said it was a criminal act.
Didn't they have one of their reportersthat also participated in October seventh of
Memory Serves. I know it wasone of the AP reporters, et cetera.

(10:33):
That there were like a couple ofoutlets, but I think it was
like maybe one of theirs as well. It's not you're not a for real
outlet. Come on, now,while all of this is happening, it's
been negatively impacting Democrats at the polls, and Democrats are not well. I

(10:54):
mean, it's it's taking them inthe polls. Additionally, it's also causing
them to engage in some inter partyarguing, which then also hurts them in
the polls as well. So it'sthis couple we're going to get into some
of the twenty twenty four polling.There was a survey that came out that
Politico reported on that talked about howthe touched upon some of the survey about

(11:20):
how people are reacting to Democrat supporterDemocrats refusing to disavow it or step away
from it. A lot of themore moderate Democrat voters, I mean,
clearly find some issue with this.And now there's concern about a down ticket
maybe suppression or that it could translateinto absolute absence of enthusiasm. So this

(11:41):
I'm all for that. I mean, this is what universities, they all
created, They all work together tocreate this problem. In addition to this,
Republicans aren't helping themselves anymore, andparticularly where it concerns the VP audition.
Christy Noum is her own worst enemy. And we're going to talk about
this here coming out because she didan interview with CBS over the week and
it was one of the worst interviewsI've ever seen a politician do in modern

(12:03):
time. It is a case studyon what not to do in an interview
as a politician. It is herAny hope that she ever had a VP
is gone. Any hope that sheever had it being taken seriously after this
is gone, We're going to talkabout this. We got twenty twenty four,
we got culture, we got allkinds of stuff, including and this

(12:26):
is important. I think it's incrediblya priority right now that the Republican Party
has got to stop betting on thepublic, recognizing and acknowledging the double standard
as like a get out the voteor tactic or strategy. How is it
possible that America could run short ofa maxicillan. A maxicillin is like the
Swiss Army knife of antibiotics because ittreats so many different types of infections.

(12:50):
Doctors prescribe it for ear nose,throat infections, It treats lower respiratory infections,
sinusiitis which I've had before, skininfections. UTIs again, how could
America run short on it? Antibioticscome from China and India. And if
you or a family member get sickand there's no amoxacillin, now what So
that's why I have a medical emergencykit from the Wellness Company. I've used

(13:11):

(13:58):
now all of the news you wouldprobably miss. It's time for Dana's quick
five. Well, monkey pox keepsgoing up. They keep having why I
can't even get the sentence out,and one's already over there, like gigglin,
he's already. Monkey Pox cases havespiked in New York City. They
say now that they're averaging dozens ofcases a month. Dozens of cases a

(14:22):
month. Now you can't you're notsupposed to call it monkey pox. You're
supposed to call it that handsome sungm pox anyway, monkey pox, which
is it's a it's an STD.It's an STD that is predominantly in a
dude's plus dude's type of scenario.To get my drift, And they said
that they've been averaging since October thirtysix cases a month, which is a

(14:46):
spike that it went from two totwenty cases per month, and then now
it's at thirty six cases per monthbecause people won't stop being skanks, So
stop being skanks. That's just there'syour The more you know this uh vehicle
apparently crashed into a White House gate, killing the driver. Secret Services no
threat, I mean, unless youknow they were outside there by the gate.

(15:07):
That's kind of still scary. Itwas a vehicle traveling at a high
rate of speed a crash right intothe White House Complex Lake Saturday, killing
the driver, according to the USSecret Service. They said it was a
barricade just before ten thirty pm that'swhere the car crashed. They said security
protocols were implemented. Officers cleared thevehicle, they rendered aid, and they
said that was pretty much the endof it. But it's still being investigated
only as a traffic crash. Ohmy gosh, I ignored this headline for

(15:31):
the longest time. The Furry Convention, Do I really want to do this?
It is the sixth largest furry conin history and it was at apparently
in Seattle, and apparently the eventwent off the rails when someone loosened a
bold on one of the toilets andit flooded, and then in addition to

(15:52):
that, apparently there was drink anddrugs and a complete and it was bad.
It was it's bad. Is peopledressed up as animal costumes and they
it was just horrible. Everything,every bit of debaucher you can think of,
it happened. It happened there.So now I don't think the hotel
wants to host furry Con anymore.Yeah, I don't. I don't think

(16:14):
so either. This Citiq Khan wasre elected Mayor of London and the latest
win for the Labor Party. Hewas re elected. Yeah, I know.
I was looking at the vote breakdownof this the two term. They
say he's center left. He's astraight up socialist. He's a British hating
socialist. He's the first three timewinner by a clearer margin than some of

(16:37):
his supporters that ever predicted Labor Party, which is the socialist party essentially,
it's sort of as they call itLabor for their socialists. He was first
elected, he was from the mainopposition Labor Party. He was initially elected
to the post in twenty sixteen.Now he's won three consecutive terms, so
that's that's the latest. And thennow they've been using. There's people who've
got a hangovers, they've been doingvitamins and roll drips for them. It's

(17:00):
the IV drip. This has beengoing along in popularity for the past ten
years. So this isn't anything newcoming up fake news. Christy Nome and

(18:52):
hosted daily from the Dana Show.Person Let's talk first. We don't want
to talk about a lot of topicsthat you address in the book. But
the book is called No Going Back, but it sounds like the publisher Center
Street is going back on a coupleof the details in the book. I
don't belief specifically when you write inthe book, I remember when I met
with North Korean dictator Kim Jong un. I'm sure he underestimated me. That,

(19:17):
as I understand, is now beingremoved from the book at your request.
Yes, and I became aware ofthat. We changed the content and
the future editions will we adjusted.And you know, I appreciate that I've
met with many many world leaders.I've traveled around the world. I should
not have put that anecdote in thebook, and at my request, they

(19:37):
have a little I'm saying that I'mnot talking about that meeting. I'm not
talking about my meetings with world leadersthat are on meeting book with world leaders.
Some that are in the book,and then there's some that's not in
the book. Why actual specific mentionsof meeting Kim Jong un and talking about
him and a specific memory, I'msure he underestimated me, having no clue
about my experience staring down little tyrants. Did you tell your ghostwriter? I

(20:03):
specifically have worked on policy for overthirty years, and over that time,
I have traveled around the world,and I have met with leaders around the
world, and that anecdote, I'veasked them to change the content and it
will be removed. It's a simplequestion, did you or did you not?
That's that's the answer that I havefor you, is that I'm it
will be adjusted. And as soonas I became aware of it that content,

(20:26):
I am dying to death because thatis so hard to watch. Oh
my gosh, that was Governor ofchristinoam We told you this last week that
in her book, what is itcalled the gravel Pit My Career, How
I Killed it in the gravel Pitthat she wrote in her book, she

(20:49):
included in her book. Now,after she writes about she tries to have
this like weird flex where she writesabout shooting her puppy. Then she says
that she stared down Kim Jong unand her own staff was like, yeah,
that didn't happen, and that gotout into the press, and so
then she goes on CBA. Youdidn't. That's like, as much as

(21:10):
you're prepared growing, you're crumbling underpressure, and it's pressure that you created
because you light in your book.Why would you do this? This is
such a disaster. Who is herpublic Center Street? Do they hate her?
Do they hate her? Because that'swhat you do to somebody if you
hate them, You put a bunchof you celebrate you. You encourage them
to put all this nonsense in theirbook, and then you go, yeah,

(21:32):
yeah, go out and do let'sexcerpt this part and go out and
do all the press on it tohide your book. And then you send
her out there and she's just mauledon She just mauled on the Sunday Morning
Show with like some deep list anchor. I don't even know who that lady
is. Oh my gosh. Andit took there and there were all three
sitting there and they were just like, yeah, we're watching your career die.

(21:53):
Yeah, we're watching your your VPhopes and dreams just crash and burn
into the gravel that you created.Right after cricket, that's where your career
went. Oh my gosh, that'sso uncomfortable to watch. Oh, but
it got worse and by the way, what she's mad that everyone's talking about
this these anecdotes that she says inthe book, but she's the one who

(22:17):
put them in the book. Sheput them in the book because she wanted
everyone to talk about them. Butshe only wanted people to talk about them
in a way that she wanted themto talk about them. She wanted everybody
to be like, oh my gosh, you're so tough guy in her know
them girl power. Uh uh,you're so tough, You're so hardgre flex,
harder queen. They wanted. Shewanted that. She wanted that response,

(22:38):
and she didn't get that response.So now she's mad about it,
and now it's everyone else that's talkingabout it and hyping it up. Kane's
just dying, but it is,you know, it's true. Now she
doesn't like the way everybody's reacting toit, So now everybody has a problem
and they're all picking on her,and she's that a victim. Oh my
gosh, me too. And thenit got worse because there's more, Oh

(22:59):
yes, it, there's more ofthis. This is this is oh yeah,
audio said at eighteen you talk multipletimes about it. In fact,
at the end of the book,you say. The very first thing you
would do if you got to theWhite House that was different from Joe Biden
is you'd make sure Joe Biden's dogwas nowhere on the grounds. Commander say
hello to ct Are you doing thisto try to look tough? Do you

(23:23):
still look at this point? VP? Well, number one, Joe Biden's
dog has attacked twenty four Secret Servicepeople. So how many people is enough
people to be attacked and dangerously hurtbefore you make a decision on a dog,
And well, he's not living atthe house. That's the question that

(23:44):
the president should be held accountable to. You're saying you should be that the
president should accountable to? Is whatis? What is the number? And
I would say about Republicans criticizing me, these are the same republicans that criticized
me during COVID. I mean whenyou try to stay down but our state
legislatures stopped. Those republicans are whenyou wouldn't sign the bill to protect women
at women's sports. You mean thoseRepublicans that were criticizing you. Look,

(24:07):
I'm not trying to be ignorant,but have you seen Christine Noens six years
ago Compared to the Christine noam nowwith like the longer. I don't know
if their extensions. Her face isdifferent, everything's different. I'm just saying
she's trying way too damn hard andit's cringe. Stop it. I get
it. Either she's trying to bea real housewife of you know, DC,
or she thought that that was goingto be her glow up and that

(24:30):
was going to that was all partof her makeover to go and get into
the Vice President's office. But whatshe failed to do in her effort to
have this glow up is she failedto have a glow up to her actual
voting record. She was a moderatewhen she was in the House. Go
and look at her. There area ton of other Republican lawmakers when they
served in the House of Representatives thathad a way more conservative record than she
did. And she's a moderate governorthat's trying to wret con history and gaslight

(24:55):
in everybody into thinking that she's actuallyconservative and she's not. She almost shut
her state down had it not beenfor the Republican State Legislature that stopped her
and overrid her. She would notprotect women in women's sports for men costplaying
as women who wanted to compete withwomen. In fact, she wouldn't sign
it, she vetoed it, andthen they came back with a different bill.

(25:18):
So this, I mean, sheflexes on all the wrong stuff.
She's flexing on her puppy, andthen she doubles down on it later in
the book, acting like she wouldhave done the same thing to Commander that
she did to Cricket. So thatright, there is your evidence that she
actually thought that that was a smartidea to include something like that in the
book. But she's flexing on thisstupidest stuff. And maybe she's flexing on

(25:38):
the stupidest stuff because she doesn't haveanything else to flex on. She can't
act like she's Ron DeSantis, shecan't act like she's even Brian Kemp because
she doesn't have that conservative of arecord. She is a moderate at best
who's playing on the ignorance and theunfamiliarity that American voters at large have with
what she has done previously, andshe's trying to make herself look like Sarah

(26:00):
Palin two point zero, except Peylanactually had kind of a conservative record,
whereas Noam doesn't, and Pylan didn'tdo all that stuff to herself or as
Noam did. I'm not trying tobe ignorant, but at some point you
got to stop going to the doctor'soffice, you know what I mean,
stop just lay off it. Imean, when everybody starts looking indistinguishable and
they start looking like the same inflatedreal housewife of whatever zip code, then

(26:23):
it's a little too much. AndI just think it makes Republicans look bad,
especially when you're trying so hard forhigher office. No one else will
say it, so I will sayit for you because I know you're all
thinking it. I mean, I'mglad at least the you know, I
don't know if you do you butat the same time, be able to
move your face. No one see, guys can't say that. I'm the

(26:45):
only person and commentary that can sayit because I'm a chick. So you
know what, though I would notbe, I'm still nowhere near is indestructible
as Tim Scott would be if heends up being the VP pick. So
you think he's going to be VPpick Kane Tim Scott, Well, Steve
was talking about that on the breakand I I agreed, because think about
it, the VP is the presidentof the Senate. He is a former

(27:07):
senator. He checks at least acouple of boxes conservatively, is not in
Florida number one. And I thinkthat, uh, you know, of
all the people in I guess inthe running, there's a couple of governors
that look pretty good. But Idon't know. It seems like Tim Scott
could there's the top of that list. Yeah. I mean, I don't

(27:29):
to me. If you're a conservative, I mean, if you vote the
way I want you to vote,I don't care if you have two heads.
If you if you if you're likeI'll abolish the I R S and
also protect your Second Amendment rights bygetting rid of the ATF and you know,
protect life and liberty, et cetera. Okay, that you have three
heads, Okay, great, Idon't care. You have two arms in
three heads. Wonderful. I don'teven care. I don't care. I
don't care. I just just comeout and just you know, I'm just

(27:52):
saying. I'm not saying he is, but I'm just I hear I hear
rumors from the same people that likerumor over the craziest off. But my
point of bringing that up is howunbelieved he would be like a boss in
a video game. You can't defeathim. He would be like an undefeatable
boss because he would check so manythings. He would be black if he
would a well, Republican kind ofcancels that out right? Isn't that what

(28:15):
democrats say? Yeah, because itdoesn't matter what you are if you're putting
They called Byron Donald's like you hadyou had white progressives, Uncle Tom,
call them all kinds of racist things. The left can be racist. But
if you're black and gay, doesthat two of those neutralize the one?
How does that work? I'm sorry? And the political identity Republican? If

(28:36):
you're a gay, black Republican,does it cancel out what the progressives say
is like race tradering or whatever.Sure wish it did, Danta, But
being a Republican unfortunately, cancels outevery other identity that you have. Who
is there? Who is there anexpert on this? Like DEI stupid stuff?
Yeah? What is the math onthat? But isn't it like fantasy

(28:59):
football or whatever? Y'all do?What do you do fantasy football? Steve
doesn't done it before? But whatis Yeah? Okay, so I would
just think like two of the boxeswould cancel out that one criticism, right,
and that how that logical non politicalworld. You're absolutely right. I
don't know. Yeah, I'm justthinking like your fantasy football brackets, like

(29:19):
you know how you have. I'mjust I'm I'm in my head. It
makes sense. I'm looking at itvisually, like all the political identity stuff,
like this political identity battles this oneand then who wins out of you
know, for fantasy football totally works. Like obviously if you're a woman that's
considered an identity politic. That's valuableif you're a Democrat. So it's like,

(29:40):
how Deebo Samuel is also a receiverand a running back? Is that
what you're saying? Oh, Isee, depending on yeah, which side
of the ball he's on flexed position, you can use it both and get
points to you. Yeah, surelike that Yeah, like two like two
powers. I love how he justgot that. He's like, oh,
that's like, you know, saysomething smart about football. So it's like,
yeah, kind of kind of likewhat now, Really it's more understanding.
Actually, no, you're right,whack bet is super understandable compared to

(30:03):
how the left deals with identity politics. I'm saying, it's like if so
if you're a woman Democrat, you'rea woman, then that, according to
the left, that's an identity politicalwin, like an I d a political
id. Right. But if you'rea trans wait, a dude who pretends
to be a woman trans man oris that a trans woman? I don't
even know. So if you're afake woman and you're so a man pretending

(30:29):
to be a woman cancels out.It's like rock paper scissors, right,
So the trans the dude who's pretendingto be a chick will cancel out the
woman. Right, So she's she'sscissors and he's rock. Good god.
But I'm just trying to like illustratea point here. Yes, so if

(30:52):
you are black and gay and you'rea Republican, what is their new element
in the rock paper scissors identity politicsgame? What? I just feel like
that makes you indefeatable, you knowwhat I mean, You're like a voltron
of political identities, like you're you'rea dead burnt lesbian or you're a one

(31:15):
armed you're a Republican, one armed, black, gay, trans right pirate
pirate. Yeah, who's too spirited? That's a lot. I mean,
you fashion all that up and you'relike a whole boss. Yeah, and
you can't even criticize them for anythingor else. You're just going to be
a bigot on all those identities.It's like a chimera of different political wtfs.

(31:42):
That's what it is. So it'slike the more you have, I
would think that that would beat it. I'm just saying like, yeah,
well you don't you think, God, black Republican is a race trader.
Well he's all so gay, youbig it? I mean, just you
know, And then the left islike, oh, but he proposed to
his girlfriend in January. I'm justby I'm assuming it's strictly for you know,

(32:05):
like stratch with identity. I'm rightalong with you. I'm right along
with you. I just think thatthe way the climate is and the way
it's been for a while is thatif any one of your labels is Republican,
that is the only one you're allowedto have. You cannot have any
other identity under that. If you'rea Republican, you're just automatically evil and
bad. And even if you're gay, one armed pirate with a limp,

(32:28):
dead burnt lesbian, that too,it won't matter because you're Republican. Gosh,
Okay, So that's not fair.You can't have No, it's not
fair. You can't you can betnot republican. If you're a Republican,
it cancels out all your other identitypolitics. The left doesn't get to make
up their own rules. True.I call shenanigans Hi. I'm Margaret,

(32:51):
a rhetoric and media major at HillsdaleCollege. Here's Hillsdale President, doctor Larry
Orne with a Constitution minute. Manyargue today that the Constitution is outdated because
it addresses problems secular to the eighteenthcentury, so long ago, and some
of it does read sort of quaintly. But consider the injunction against titles of
nobility in Article one, Section nine, for example. Is that so outdated?

(33:15):
The purpose of that injunction is toprevent the government granting special privileges for
partisan reasons. This strikes it therule of law, the rule under which
were all to be treated the same. The cony capitalism so common today,
where the government gives favors and taxdollars to some businesses and advantages over others,
is exactly the kind of thing theConstitution was meant to prohibit. The

(33:36):
Constitution is not outdated at all.To learn more, and get a free

So are the days of the UnitedStates. This is a man who we
better be careful about. And Itell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to ask the Justice Department, and I'm going to ask the President
to tell us what they're going todo to protect this country against violence.
If he loses. I want toknow about all of those right wing organizations

(34:24):
that he's connected with who are trainingup in the hills somewhere and targeting hills.
You know what communities they are goingto attack. I myself just returned
from training up in the Hills.I went to up in the Hills Training
Academy where we trained up in theHills training at things violence. We trained

(34:45):
at the violence, so we weretraining at She reminds me of Bill Cosby
playing the role of a homeless woman. She reminds me of like if you're
at a funeral and the body justsits up and starts talking that's what she
reminds me of. Yeah, it'slike, you know, nice mortuar.
Oh is that should not say that? It does though, I mean just

(35:08):
saying, not surprised to hear thatfrom her? Though? Where where is
all of this training for violence inthe hills? And why didn't I get
invited? Where are these hills whereyes, let's go train for violence?
Where's where are the hills exactly?Isn't she in DC? Where the hell
is she from? I've even rowhelp me. I don't know, Yeah,

(35:28):
I don't know. I mean upin the hills somewhere. I just
remember twenty sixteen when Hillary lost.It wasn't Republicans out in the street that
were busting up ride shares. Itwas the left. It wasn't Republicans that
were punching people with red hats inthe face. It was the left that
was doing it. It wasn't Republicansthat were out there summer after summer torching

(35:50):
down entire neighborhoods. It was theleft. So I'm just saying, where
are they taking their training at Iif the right is doing their training up
in the hills, are they downon the doing their training? I'm curious
doing it on college campuses. Yeah, college campuses. We have a lot
more on the way. Second hour'recoming up. Our friend Stephen Nas is
gonna be joining us as well.Stick with us. The only Christian conservative

Trump, Well that's just not thecase, and we have to do a
better job of laying out the factsthat the economy has dramatically improved under the
leadership of President Joe Biden. Butif if those are the facts, why

(37:19):
don't voters believe it? Is thata communication problem. Voters understand that more
needs to be done, that thereare challenges that remain, so they aren't
believing it is what you just said. That's an awkward There was an aura
O'Donnell with Hakeem Jefferies. He thenthen voters aren't buying it. Then,

(37:42):
I mean, it's just it's prettysimple. Voters are then, are not
buying this. Welcome back to theprogram, Dana Lash with you top of
the second hour. You can listencoast to coast, you can follow along
on x and YouTube and you knoweverywhere the uh yeah, the economy is
not doing so good. And nowthere the specter of tax hikes, not
tax cuts, tax hikes. Didyou see all the headlines that I put

(38:07):
here on the rundown cane about theyeah, none of them make me happy.
You had Warren Buffett who said there'sgoing to be a tax hike.
Now you have all of these economistswho are predicting a tax hike while the
government refuses to stop spending and IRSaudits are about to surge. They said
that the IRS is going to bedoubling audits for the next three years.

(38:30):
And they said most most taxpayers aregoing to face greater scrutiny from the agency.
Meanwhile, what is the delay ongetting your return? It's like several
months to get your did they delayfor a lot of people? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Butthey got all that new They got eighty
billion dollars in new funding. Theysaid that they're going to oh wait a

(38:52):
minute, what I thought it wasjust going to be to hire people and
improve customer service. But the IRSsays right here that it's using it to
increase audit rates. Oh so itwasn't just to like provide greater customer service.
And you know, here's the bigproblem I have with this is because
we've had record revenues coming into thetreasury YEP over the past few years.

(39:16):
Why is that not enough because theywon't stop spending, the need to send
more money to Ukraine. Yeah,they're literally trying to squeeze more blood out
of a rock here instead of curbingtheir spending habits it's absolutely ridiculous. The
fifty two page document they have outliningtheir plans, the irs said they're going

(39:39):
to start looking at different groups ofpeople that they're going to increase the audits
of. They also said complex partnershipswith assets over ten million are going to
be audited at a ten times higherrate. And they said that they promise
it's not going to be for lowerincome households. No one believes that.
And you know why no one believesthat, because they're going after Venmo,

(40:00):
they're going after PayPal, they're goingafter online market places because they are now
scrutinizing all of those. And ifyou don't claim any of that, then
they're gonna This is what I alwaysfind amazing, like they have no idea.
They can't tell you where the hellthe money in Ukraine's going. They
can't tell you where any of thebillions that we have sent over there where
it's going. But my word,if you spent six hundred and one dollars,

(40:22):
if you bought like a used lawnmoweror something ride mow or whatever,
and you paid six hundred and onedollars on Venmo, they're gonna know,
isn't six hundred the threshold or eighthundred. Yeah, they're gonna know.
The irs will know, and they'regonna come knocking on your door. But
they can't tell you what happened tobillions that were sent over to Ukraine,

(40:44):
right, they can't tell you whathappened with all the COVID money. But
oh my gosh, you're six hundredand one dollars on venmo mm hmm.
And the tax cuts that they're goingto allow to expire will affect everyone who
enjoyed lower tax So those people whoare making less than four hundred thousand dollars
a year will definitely get hit withadditional taxes. If you're making somewhere in

(41:07):
the neighborhood of seventy five thousand ayear, your taxes will go up between
seventeen and eighteen hundred dollars for thatyear. So Biden is taxing those that
are below the four hundred. Wellyeah, and anybody who claims and earn
income tax credit they said are goingto it's going to they are going to
be twice as likely to get audited. That's why when they're like, oh

(41:28):
no, no, it's not goingto be for you know, lower incomes
that's a lie because of all thedigital stuff. And like I just said,
they earned income tax credit. Ifyou get a tax break for earning
below a certain threshold, you're goingto be literally twice as likely as others
to get audited. So it's alie when they sit here and say,
oh, no, it's only goingto be for the rich people, which
is still even if you're not oneof the rich people. That's still lame.

(41:52):
All of this is theft. It'sall theft, like property tax stuff.
We're getting ready contest that because that'sinsane. Property tax Yeah, can
test it again, can test itevery damn time you get an opportunity to
contest it. It's theft. Younever really own your own property. It's
all just it's all. There's there'sthere is agreed to social contracts, and

(42:14):
then there's abusing the idea of asocial contract. And that's that's the stage
we're in in the United States rightnow. So the IRS said that,
Oh, guys, guess what,they cut their weight time down by a
few minutes. If you call in, I'm so glad. We spent eighty
billion, right dollars. Yeah,well we got eighty thousand agents and then

(42:35):
half more than eighty seven thousand.Eighty seven thousand agents in the majority of
them were given guns. Well,I mean, you know when you go,
I mean, it's only proper thatyou know, someone who's going to
rob you should actually give you thecourtesy of saying, you know, stick
them up before you know what Imean, and have the means to do
so. If you're going to getrobbed, you might as well be robbed
at gunpoint, right, I mean, you know it's that makes sense for

(42:57):
the irs. Yeah, sense right, I'm just saying, so it's uh.
And then now all of this istying into questions of whether or not
we're going to see another housing collapse. I'm gonna include this if you sign
up over at Substack for chapter andverse the newsletter. I'm gonna have all
this in your newsletter as well,because that's what it's looking like. I
was looking at Financial Times this morning, the mortgage reforms that everyone is saying

(43:23):
could potentially unleash uh. Now,this this the next big US stimulus and
then perhaps a housing crash. Goodgrief. If it's not one thing,
We're never going to get a break. We are never gonna get a break.
It's just never gonna happen. ThisHeritage had a really good piece where

(43:45):
they were analyzing some of this dataabout the nationwide real estate mess and how
inflation because everybody's already broke, everything'sbeen stretched thin. Higher monthly mortgage payments,
a lot of people have been pushedoff the cliff. Couple that with
again, higher property taxes. Texashas crazy property taxes, crazy property taxes.
They've got to get that under control, because I'm going to tell you

(44:07):
what's the good of voting for Republicansin Texas if they're going to keep taxing
and increasing taxes on your property whenyou could just Democrats are honest about it.
At least, you know, whysit here and keep voting for Republicans
if they're not going to do anythingabout the theft of your actual property.
I mean, property taxes are acommunist idea. It is communists. I
don't believe that I should have tocontinue paying taxes towards off of my property,

(44:31):
never being able to own my actualown real property outright, because under
threat of penalty, I have tokeep paying, you know, this indulgence
to the state so that it doesn'tcome and get me. I mean there's
the difference between government and the mafiais that the government pretends it's virtuous.
That's the difference. It's a protectionracket. Property taxes are literally nothing more

(44:52):
than racketeering. It's legalized racketeering.Pay us for protection. Oh yeah,
we're going to give you some services, except when we shut it down for
COVID. Graduated consumption taxes would solvethis. The government will never go that
route because it forces them to livewithin their means. And government doesn't want
to live within their means. Nogovernment, whether it's local, state or

(45:13):
federal, no government wants to livewithin their means. So they tax you.
They tax you. When you die, they tax you. If you
try to pass off money, theytax you. If you sell something,
then they tax you. In Missouri, you still had to pay you what
was the percent you had to payin your car, your your your property
tax. You had to pay additionaltax on your car every year you had
to buy your car in the stateof Missouri. Buy your car, pay

(45:34):
a tax on the sale, thenyou had to pay an additional tech And
though you already paid tax on once, you had to pay tax on it
again just for owning the damn carevery single year. It personal property tax.
Yeah, you would have to stillpay tax on it just because you
owned it in Missouri. Well atleast Texas doesn't have that, but still
graduated consumption tax. That is theway to go because it forces it would

(45:58):
force schools to compete to actually providebetter services to kids, because it would
make people have to compete with peopledon't want to do that. They like
the protection that this racketeering from thegovernment provides, and then they dress it
up in virtuous veneers and say,oh no, no, it's for the
common good. So much tyranny andso much bad, so many bad things
have been done in the name ofthe common good. But this now we're

(46:21):
seeing the ever the expansion of federalexpenditures, and this is just there's a
disaster in the making. And nowinterest rates, they're not going to cut
interest rates. You have a quarterof the loans backed by it, said,
conventional home mortgages looking at commercial realestate, which is by the way,
that's like a time bomb by itself, short term debt that's frequently rolled

(46:43):
over. Nearly one trillion, orroughly one fifth of those loans are going
to have to be refinanced this year, and a quarter of those loans back
by office properties and nearly forty percentback by hotels also mature this year,
so commercial property, and then youcan't even fill it with tenants, so
their incomes aort. This is justthere is going to something's got to give.

(47:07):
Something's got to give, and it'snot gonna be the government. It'll
be you. That's what it'll be. Sit to hear Hakeem Jeffreys. Oh
no, it's in the meantime.Conservatives are insisting. Some conservatives. I
look, I like the conservatives thatare in the Republican Party, and I
think that you need people to plantthat flag on that end of the that

(47:30):
part of the spectrum. But thisidea to try to force this vote this
week of Johnson because Democrats said thatthey're gonna help save his job. You
still have And I love Tom Massey, Representative MASSI out of Kentucky. He's
a great lawmaker. I just thinkhe's wrong on this one. Marjorie Taylor
Green, I just think that she'swrong on this one. And there's nothing
wrong with thinking that somebody's wrong onthis because it's wrong. I mean to

(47:52):
sit here and force this when youbarely have enough of a majority, You're
not gonna get anybody more. You'regonna get somebody even more liberal, somebody
way more progressive than this. Thisis just the dumbest, dumbest time to
do this, dumbest time to dothis. They need to stop it and
not do this stuff until after theelection because Democrats said they'll vote to save
Johnson, and then it makes Democrats. Then you're allowing Democrats to take this

(48:14):
opportunity to make themselves look reasonable instead. You know what Republicans should be focusing
on instead of all this stuff.There's a new well, this is like
a couple of new surveys out Texas. Hispanics are backing the tougher border policy
here in Texas, which that's notsurprising if you understand the voting block in
Texas. But what's surprising is thefact that nobody in media wants nobody's going

(48:37):
to touch it. Nobody's going totouch this. It was buried in this
piece that I was reading that getsinto it was a survey, it was
a Trump it was a CNN survey, and CNN just gloss right over it,
and it shows that Hispanics support inTexas support tougher border policies completely unlike

(48:58):
how it's represent in the press.They had sixty one percent of Texas likely
voters supported spending more tax dollars onborder security, from the border wall construction
to deployment of the National Guard,and they said two thirds of white and
three fifths of Hispanic likely voters supportedthis policy. Sixty four percent of Independence

(49:19):
supported the policy, and thirty threepercent Democrats supported the policy. Hispanics who
lived by the border over seventy percentbacked this policy. That is, you
never get that kind of number forany kind of survey. That is stunning.
And if Republicans were smart, insteadof playing musical chairs in the House,
they would be focusing on and seizingon this and using this as a

(49:44):
way to increase voter outreach. Thisis a great voter outreach mechanism. I
don't know why they're not doing it. I mean, I think they're incompetent
at this point. We have alot more on the way, including the
oh our Department of Interior is focusedon sustainable recreation. I don't even know

(50:06):
what that word salad means. We'regonna discuss that coming up. We also
have Steven needs joining us this hourinstead of our third hour. On the
way black Rifle coffee, I hadtwo cups. I don't even know what
it was. I just said,give me whatever strong and I saw dark
roast on the bag. It wasa new bag that was open, and

(50:27):
morning. It was like the weather'schanging. I was sleepy. You know
how it does. Black Rifle coffeeis the best coffee that you can get

lot of big coffee out there,they're very uncomfortable by the presence of Black

all of the news you would probablymiss, it's time for Dana's Quick five.
So now a judge is going torule soon on whether or not Google's
empire is considered a monopoly closing argumentsin the government, and the government's case
alledging such so that Google abuses theirpower over the entire Internet. I mean,
it is so big, and theydo hide other ways to search for

(51:57):
things. That is true. Andalso I can't even use Google to search
anything anymore. It is impossible tofind anything through Google because it is so
partisan. So now they're looking atwhether or not it's considered it's large enough
to be considered a monopoly, andare they engaging in business practices that are
squeezing out any kind of competition orchoice. So we'll see US Air Force

(52:21):
Secretary flew a one of a kindLockheed Fighter Jet after the AI versus human
dog fight test, and it wasa very interesting. Basically, it was
like a drone fight, right,I mean, at that point if it's
an AI thing, isn't it likea drone fight at that point? Although
with drones you still have a humanoperator. But it was a variable in
flight simulation test aircraft and they werehosting an event showcasing this thing. And

(52:44):
it's very I mean, it's interesting. It's autonomous air to air combat.
But at the same time, I'ma little nervous about having AI jets because
they're literally the latest mission impossible film. I don't care if you don't like
Town Cruise or whatever, you needto watch it just because you don't have
to see any of the other missionimpossibles. You need to watch this one
because we are there right now.We're like if we're not there already,

(53:05):
we're on the cusp of what happensif the robots take over or if AI
makes all the calls in war.That's where we're at. It is actually
terrifying. Apparently, they said Americansa new survey, I have no idea
why this is a survey says Americanswould rather live a shorter life in good
health and a longer life with healthissues. Yeah, why did you need

(53:29):
to study for that? Now?They kin goes, they really want this
floor. I'd poison to get inhere. It's not recommended to wrench your
teeth after brushing. Who says thatthese people have seen it. It's a
story of evert seen it. Theysaid that, yeah, you don't really
have to the American Dental Association andthey said that you really don't have to
wrench your mouth after a're having allthat floor right now? Floor right's poison.

(53:52):
I I don't know why you wouldn't. I wouldn't want that taste in
my mouth all day? All right, stick with us because we got Stephen
gae it's coming up. Domes Oh, the sub two K, the Gen
three sub two K, so thesub two K with kel tech I don't
know if you've, I mean youshould have, you know, check this
out. This you should have checkedit out at some point. But the
subsw k from cal Tech is anawesome nine milimeter carbine I have the previous

(54:15):
iteration of this, but the new, the new one, the Gen three
is shipping now and it has alot of upgrades on it. First and
foremost, you don't have to detachyour favorite optics on it anymore, just
to fold it in half. Previouslyyou did, you would have to take
your opts off and store them andall that. You don't have to do
that now. It's just this simpletwist and fold pat the rotating U pat

(54:40):
and penning for in. You canjust twist it, turn it and it
immediately folds everything optics in all rightin half. And it also just as
quickly and easily deploys it too,which is really nice. It's just great.
Like if you're going hiking, you'regoing out, you want to you
know, space is a priority.Uh, the nine milimeter carbine subdu K
Gen three is perfect for that.Also takes glockmags Block nineteen's fit flush the

(55:02):
mags for glock nineteen nine Block nineteenfitz flits fits flush. Also, they
have redesigned mechanics for that triggers welllightened five pound pool. That translates to
improved accuracy. The actions updated,It's easier to rack. The internal buffer
means softer recoil. This is justa great carbine. I really like the

(55:22):
Sub two K. I think yougot to have one in your personal collection.
I would recommend the Gen three becauseI'm lazy and I don't want to
take my optics off. Just justbe honest about it. It's Celtech,
made in Florida, family owned,values, family made at their best.

back to the program, Danie lastyear with you. At the bottom of
this second hour. You can listencoast to coast. You can also stream
the radio program, watch the simulcastof it as well as we told you

(56:08):
it was announced earlier this morning,but details are now coming out. Hamas
announces they were very quickly to saythis. They've announced that they've accepted this
Egyptian Katari. I guess negotiation negotiatedceasefire proposal that from what I see from
the Associated Press benefits Hamas greatly.And apparently you get like a handful of

(56:29):
Israeli hostages in exchange for a coupleof hundred of terrorists from Gaza that have
been working with Hamas that are imprisonedin Israel. So you know, hundreds
to a handful. I mean theyboth start with h so I guess that
makes it even. But what Ifound interesting was how quickly all of this
is rushed out before Israel has evencommented as to whether or not they will

(56:51):
accept it, because obviously it's apressure tactic joining us on this, and
of course Jijienping is in France.All of those issues are very good friends,
even Yates. At Yates comms onX, I keep almost wanting to
say Twitter, and it's not Twitteranymore, it's X and you all know
him. He's the chair of theChina Policy Initiative with the America First Policy
Institute where he's also senior fellow andhe joins US now vias Skype. Always

(57:13):
a pleasure to have you. Iwanted to get kind of your take on
that. Doesn't that seem like apressure tactic by them rushing to announce that
they have this Egyptian Katari broker deal, and look, Amas has already eagerly
accepted it. It really doesn't benefitIsroel at all. It seems like a
pressure tactic to get them to acceptit. Yeah, it's almost as if
the broader Middle East, perhaps togetherwith the woke movement on campus and our

(57:38):
media, are all working together toput pressure on Israel to accept something that
obviously it doesn't meet, sort ofthe common sense threshold of you attacked us
and took a bunch of our people. How about we negotiate terms after you
return our people and then we'll startdigging out of the hole you made of

(58:01):
attacking us. And I also reallyhave a hard time putting pressure on another
country to do what I, asan American would never do, which is
to accept that part of our sovereignterritory doesn't belong to us. Why is
it that Israel is being pressured tosay withdraw from territory that is within its

(58:22):
sovereign boundaries as part of some kindof a ceasefire imposed by that state of
cutter which has been kind of homebase for the jihadi movement pretty much before,
during, and after nine to elevenand all the way to today.
So I saw there's a lot aboutthis that I think you should have an

(58:44):
initial squeamishness about, but really Ithink you dial it in exactly right.
This is basically being set up topressure Israel to have to say yes,
that somehow they look like an aggressorif they say no. And of course
the announcement came just moments after Israelistried to do the human thing to warn
civilians to get out of dodge awayfrom the terrorists because we've got to come

(59:08):
in and rid them of the right. And it's weird too, this floating
pier that was going to be twohundred two hundred thirty million, now it's
three hundred and twenty million, andit was being mortared last week, and
it's odd to demand. And Iwasn't aware of this right when I guess
it first came out that the IDFwas supposed to protect our boots on the

(59:29):
ground that are providing aid to theenemy of our only ally over there.
That's a really weird setup. Everypart of this is weird because it defies
common sense. It ignores fundamental principlesof you have an ally with sovereignty that
was attacked by not just an organizationthat the Israelis called terrorists, most of

(59:52):
the world under even the ridiculous UNsystem, have called this organization a terrorist
organization. And so when you startdeviating from common sense and what you know
to be true, of course you'regonna end up with weird outcomes. And
that's what this represents. Weird outcome. Also, I don't know what outcome
is to be expected with Jijiping inFrance. That's kind of unusual for him

(01:00:13):
to be there, right, Imean he doesn't normally. He usually goes
to super cammy friendly places. Well, I mean, I guess they're,
you know, going to meet Macrone. I guess that would be call me
friendly. The last place, youknow, San Francisco, and that's pretty
calmy friendly. I mean, weliterally flew the flag for him. But
what is it he's meeting with Macron? Macron's apparently it's trade and Ukraine.

(01:00:34):
I find that interesting that Macron's talkingwith him about Ukraine. What do you
make of this? What do youthink is going to come from this?
Well, it comes on the heelsof Secretary Blincoln going to China to give
yet another warning that it's unacceptable forChina to be doing what it's been doing
for two and a half years,which is aiding and abetting the Russian invasion
of Ukraine. We had officials tryto pretend as if that was a red

(01:00:55):
line, pretend as if we didn'tknow. And so as the global conversation
sort of gains momentum that hey,maybe some sanctions will be imposed on China
for doing this, because Europeans somehowhad a conscience collect up catch up with
them from behind on this. SoI think that she is going there to

(01:01:19):
solidify the usual old European deal ofyou're not really going to sanction us,
are you? And how about wegive you a little bit more sugar on
the economic front, and we cancontinue to act with impunity, whether it's
persecuting wigers in the Shinjong Concentration Forcelabor camps or threatening Taiwan. You're not
going to help with that, areyou? That's a very good point,

(01:01:40):
Tacher with our good friend Steven Yatesat Yates comes because I know that I
mean it always. I always kindof griped my teeth whenever I see headlines
of China pursuing trade expansion with EUnations, and I know there's a contingent
of the EU. I guess themore conservative minded members that have there,
they I guess form their conservative portionof the European Union that are trying to

(01:02:05):
reduce Chinese involvement with regards to economicsin their countries and reduce trade. I
was reading headlines about, you know, China trying to get more and more
involved with evs in Italy and etcetera, et cetera. Is this something
that do you think that this whereis that at? Are they at like
a stalemate? Is that gaining momentum? Because so many of these are our
allies. And the last thing thatI want to see is, you know,

(01:02:29):
out the as Russia. I feellike waynes China is taking that role
that Russia once occupied during the eightiesCold War, and I just don't want
to see one bad guy wayne onlyfor a new bad guy to take their
spot. Empowered by business ties withthe EU. Well, it's two things
that the Chinese Communist Party does betterthan the Russians have and Russians tried for

(01:02:50):
a long time. That's increasing economicleverage and sewing division better than the Russians.
Russians do that, but the Chinesedo it better. Wow. And
even among the conservatives in Europe thereare divisions that Chi jinping on this very
visit, is trying to accentuate there'sa lot that's going on in Hungary that
I find interesting and something that Ican work with. And yet the leader

(01:03:13):
there is openly embracing China as aninvestor and part of its economic supply chain.
At the same time, you havePoland, who's also on the right
side of things a number of ways, screaming that this ev push is going
to disenfranchise a lot of a lotof their workforce that has been built into

(01:03:34):
the combustion engine supply chain. Andso that is an area where China sews
divisions. You have parts of Europe, even the freer parts, more traditional
family values parts of Europe that aredivided on this, and so she shows
up and sews those divisions to hisadvantage. It weakens the sort of sense
that, hey, you know whatwe don't like what China and Russia and

(01:03:55):
Iran and others are trying to do, and we see is chaos spreading from
Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere. And so maybe those Americans aren't completely
wrong about this, and we shouldlook at the sanctions list. So even
just getting that on the conversation table, like Blincoln has tried, I think
has pushed this engagement. And ctmpinkdoesn't travel that much anymore. So I

(01:04:18):
think this was motivated by that conversationthat I find that talking with our good
friend Stephen Yates from America First PolicyInstitute, I find that their involvement in
Europe to be one of the mosttear I mean with granted, you know,
with Taiwan and the Pacific et cetera, all of that. You know,
that's also very concerning. I findthey're gaining so much ground and what

(01:04:39):
you just touched on people that weand I've seen, like different conservative groups
in the United States make overtures tothese other conservative leaders and make these alliances.
But at the same time, likeyou just said, with Hungary,
you know, their conservative leadership isyou know, making these inroads with China,
and they don't look at China asthe geopolitical foe that the United States

(01:05:00):
do. So this could completely upendeverything that we thought of in terms of,
you know, who our geopolitical alliancesare in that part of the world,
and I don't know what kind ofground we would be on after.
I mean, these are people whowould be allies with us that may end
up, you know, at theend of the day, picking China over
us, right, And that's exactlya win for China. Chaos is net

(01:05:21):
advantage cijinpin, uncertainty net advantage cigenpin. And so that's why our work is
cut out for us. And theCCP has done a great job of putting
fanning the flames of division here inour own country. And so all of
this is basically to set an environmentwhere their kind of aggression or pulling us

(01:05:45):
down is what seems to be working, and that way they can kind of
act with impunity and don't really haveto listen much to what we have to
say or what our people need.That's a good point. Looking at one
last topic here, Australia is boostingtheir security cooperation with the US ready this
piece where Japan and Philippines with Australiaapparently, so now they're boosting ties with

(01:06:08):
the Philippine military in the South Seasagainst China. That's too that. I
mean, that seems pretty standard,although it looks like it's a little bit,
you know, a little bit beefierthan what they had prior this.
Otherwise it doesn't really stand out tome. But at least we have allies.
I feel better that we have,like, you know, we have
Japan, we have Australia that youknow, we're all on the same page
here. Yeah, well Japan hasbasically been on the same page since former

(01:06:32):
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe really came topower in xenophobic Japan, right, but
yeah, the sewing Asian hate Asianpower. But the rest of our allies
have basically felt uneasy being forced topick sides. And I wish that this

(01:06:54):
was courtesy of great American cooperation andthinking and strategy and investment, but really
this is chijin Ping just cheesing offeverybody. And that now you've got Australia
much more squarely focused on the rightkinds of China policies, and that's taken
more work than it should. ThePhilippines was always a fence sitter, but

(01:07:15):
really now has no choice. It'sclear, and so basically that arc from
Japan all the way down that firstisland chain, down through Indonesia to Australia
and even some uncertainty in India.Chi Jin Ping has actually done a good
job of making things harder for himself. Then we're just blessed that our current

(01:07:35):
distractions haven't led our allies kind ofmeander in a way that's been more of
an advantage to China than otherwise wouldbe. Gosh, if only we could
replicate that, you know in Europe, that would be I'd feel better.
I think we all would tougher roadto ho there for sure. Corey tough.
Our good friends Steve and Yates andyou can find him on x at
Yates. Comm's always such a pleasure. Always appreciate your expertise. There's literally

(01:07:59):
nothing but I would ever be ableto ask you that would throw you.
You're like a living, breathing encyclopedia. So we so appreciate you sharing your
talent with us. Thank you,my friend. Have a good week.
We have more to come, folksas we wrap up the second hour,
and of course all the way isFlorida man. But before we go into
Florida man, of course, youknow, we hat tip to the people
who bring you free radio and thoseinclude Black Rifle, Coffee dot Com.

(01:08:24):
It's his life mission to make baddecisions. It's time for Florida man,
y'all. What have we told peopleabout bodies of water in Florida? What
we told him over it's gonna bea gator in there. I don't care
if it's a puddle that's the sizeof a dime, there's a gator in
it. A thirty four year oldman was rushed to the hospital because he

(01:08:46):
went for swimming a Florida lake andguess what, an alligator bit him in
the face. Bit him in theface, and uh, Hillsboro Couinty Fine
and Rescue transported the man. Theydidn't identify, and they just said he
had hint in injuries and he wastaken to the Tampa hospital. But that's
like, I'm telling you this,gotta be careful this stuff. How do
you get bit in the face thoughwhere you just like, do you not

(01:09:09):
see it? Does not see itcoming to you? I don't know how
that happens. This really a manwas stopped at Miami International Airport with snakes
in his pants. I mean we'veall joked, I mean we have.
Is that a snake in your pantsor you just know it is a snake?
Officer, it's an actual physical snake. They said that they detected a

(01:09:33):
literal bag of snakes in this dude'spants, and they turned them over to
Florida Fish and Wildlife. I mean, I don't even I get weird about
putting certain things in my pockets muchless like having like a bag of snakes
and they turn them over to FloridaFish and Wildlife. And earlier we had

(01:09:53):
the story last week where a dudetried to get a machete through security,
So yeah, you don't, don'tbring and it was in they were in
a Sunglass's bag. Oh m,I can't I literally, oh you can't
see my arm, but I legitgot chills from that. I just oh

(01:10:14):
little, all right, moving on. I don't like anything in bags and
pants like that, like just noliticians. Florida man was accused of flinging hot
coffee at McDonald's drive their employee becausehe was overcharged by one cent. What
lasr Ravello was charged with felony batteryand accused of slapping hot slapping hot coffee.

(01:10:40):
I'd work this out how this worksin my head. Slapping hot coffee
at an employee, So I guesshe slapped it in somebody's hands. The
shift manager said that Ravello was upsetbecause he was overcharged by a penny and
he burnt, apparently scalded the employee'sarm and chest. The sixty four year
old was charged with felony battery anduh they yeah, so they and he
was unsurveillable years. Goes into whatyou say all the time, old people

(01:11:04):
are not innocent. That's not whatI say. I say not all old
people are innocent. I know.I was saying that a uh Florida.
Okay, a Florida man who istaking photos of property that he wants to
buy was beaten to a bloody pulpby a guy with a broomstick, said

(01:11:26):
police Saint Petersburg property. They don'tgive the identities, but they said that
he was he was he was bludgeonedby this dude. I guess it was
a property owner near by. Uh. And of course that guy was taken
in for assault. They didn't really, they didn't give the identities of the
guys. But you do have tobe careful with that kind of stuff.
Like you can't just like just youknow, just be mindful because other people

(01:11:48):
are very you know, they're mindfulof property. And it does look weird
if you're out, you know,in the neighborhood and you're just randomly taking
pictures of you know, somebody's house, that does get weird. Uh,
let's see they've they have been.Let's see. Do you guys remember the
boat photo of people dumping trash.They were illegal, They were juveniles engaged
in illegal trash dumping. They turnedthemselves into the authorities on Friday. Florida

(01:12:12):
Fish and Wildlife had launched this investigationbecause they got tons of complaints. It
was a viral video which they weredumping mounds of trash. I mean,
I didn't even know there was thatmuch trash on the boat, but there
was apparently, and it was alot of like red solo cups. It
was a Boko bash. They wereat Boco Bash and they filmed this boat
dumping two trash cans full of garbagein the ocean, and they got in

(01:12:34):
trouble and they turned themselves in.So at least they turned themselves in,
but still like, you can't dothis and uh, a Florida man assuing
over an e game. We're gonnahave this tomorrow because this guy's it's an
e sports immigration video game. Fightstick with us. We got third hour
on the way. By the way, how many of you did really well

(01:12:55):
with that one point nine trillion dollartax cut that increased really good shape,
right, really changed your well youdid well, that's good. You might.
I'm glad to see you're doing wellalready, and I'm good. But
guess what if you left me,You're not gonna have you. Your taxes
are gonna be raised, not cut. If you're if you've benefrom that it's
a flashback from Biden. He actuallysounded more sentient there, didn't he then?

(01:13:17):
And that was just what back intwenty before twenty twenty. Yeah,
yeah, welcome back to the program. Dann't last with you. Top of
this third hour. That was thePresident saying, you know back at flashback,
he's he's like, no, yourtaxes are gonna be raised, He's
not cut. He they try toact like the Trump tax cuts were ineffective.

(01:13:38):
They were so effective. People wereangry at that they were angry because
they weren't made permanent, particularly likethe some of the corporate rates were.
But not everything was made permanent,and it should have been. That's what
because they were, they were thateffective. So again, welcome, always
good to be with you. Thewe'd talk a little bit about some of

(01:14:00):
the economic issues. The idea thatI just keep seeing story after story these
experts are saying that the do youthink they're gonna they're gonna jack up taxes.
We're going to get everything that Groverand Recurse warned about at the start
of the month than our last month, right, they can't help he's letting
the Trump tax cuts expire. Well, yeah, but no in addition to
that, there he wants to lelevee Moore. Yeah, and they're trying

(01:14:25):
to say that the additional levees aregoing to be on just those making four
hundred thousand dollars a year or more, when in fact that's not the case
at all. We all know that'snot true. We all know that's not
true. It's gonna they're the taxcuts everything from cap gains to the death
taxes to the step up basis,all of it that is, it's going

(01:14:46):
to be so destructive. We're nevergoing to see We're never going to see
lowered interest rates again, are wenot? In our maybe not in our
lifetime. Good night, good night. And in the mean time, this
is the stuff that really, ifyou were going to be out in the
street protesting something, this is whatyou would go on protests not We were
talking a little earlier about all thisstuff. College kids were out their college

(01:15:09):
adults were out there protesting. Andon the heels of that, there was
this story about this offer of aceasefire offer and Hamas is like, we
just accepted the ceasefire offer, thisEgyptian Katari broker agreement. That was some
sort of the details that I thatI was looking that I saw that came
out. They were trying to saythat it was they would they would release

(01:15:32):
like a handful of hostages for likehundreds or whatever of these prisoners that Israel
has of Gazans that have been workingwith Hamas to blow up Israelis, and
the details on it. They saidit was a three phased agreement and Israel

(01:15:53):
would have to withdraw from Gaza,and the Egyptian mediators apparently said they would
guarantee that war would not resume inGaza, which is weird. This is
via Reuters. The Egyptian mediators saidthis okay, and the deputy, the
hamasa's deputy Gaza chief, said well, I think this agreement satisfies all parties.

(01:16:15):
No, it doesn't. It doesn'tdo anything to nothing. But they
rushed this out there and then rushto the press to act like Hamas was
agreeing to it, and to makeit look as though it's Israel is the
one that's unrealistic, or Israel isthe one that's demanding too much. That's
what it is, and so Israelrejected it. They rejected the agreement because

(01:16:40):
it wasn't It wasn't in any wayaffair or safe agreement at all. I
mean, it was very very veryvery favorable to Hamas and it does not
did not include from everything that I'veseen, uh is the release of all
hostages. I didn't see. Ihaven't seen that in anywhere in any part
of the any part of us,So why there should there? That's that

(01:17:02):
to me is a non negotiable.If you do not have a full release
of all hostages, then there's nonegotiating. That's it. But they were
really quick to run out and say, oh, well, Hamas has accepted
it. Look, look, Hamasis accepting to cease fire. It's up
to you. It's up to youIsrael to accept it if you really want
to cease fire. Well, ifthey really wanted to cease fire, then

(01:17:23):
they would have included the release ofhostages, and they didn't, so they
this was just a it was justa trick. This They were never serious
about having any kind of ceasefire atall, whatsoever, because they didn't include
anything about the hostages nothing. Howare you gonna how are you going to
demand a ceasefire when you refuse torelease innocent people that you took, that
you kidnapped. This is stupid.And they have Hamas on records saying well,

(01:17:47):
Israel has to decide whether it acceptsor obstructs a truce. Obstructs.
Now, Hamas started a war thatthey couldn't finish, and now they say
it's unfair. It's not how thathappens. Israel's foreign minister set our war
and Gaza continues with the exact samegoals, the release of all hostages and
the defeat of Hamas. True,they need to stop. I think that

(01:18:12):
they need to step it up andjust go into Rafa. Just get it
over with, get it over with, because this has got to this got
to end. It has to end. And so the people were saying,
well, you shouldn't attack Israel,shouldn't attack Rafa, but they have to,
they have to go through and theyhave to. They still have what
how many fighters, how many Hamasbattalions that they have in Rafa. It's

(01:18:36):
not something Israel chose to do.It's something Hamas chose to do. And
if these other era of nations don'twant to take any refugees, well then
they're making this determination. But youdon't get to tell the person attacked how
to respond in self defense. Youdon't get to make that. You don't
get to set those rules and contextualizehow they can respond. You don't get
to do that. So they arenot Oh, by the way, can

(01:18:59):
you play this that you dumped inbecause this is apparently it was just brought
up to was she shopping Kamala Harris? I guess she was at lunch and
a reporter approached her and said,uh, it's only like ten seconds or
so and said that Hamas says accepteda ceasefire deal. Uh, and they
asked her about this, Dude,if play this, if we have it

(01:19:24):
not a vice president, Harmas says, accepted a fire deal. You're both.
Hamas accepted this fire deal. Ithink now she heard them. She
just didn't want to answer. Soher response. The response should be,
oh, are they releasing the hostages? Oh they're not. How is that

(01:19:47):
a deal? That's it? That'sthat's the response. Oh are they releasing
the hostages? Oh they're not releasingthe hostage. It's not a deal.
No one should be expected to acceptanything that doesn't include the release the hostages.
Again, this could be over tomorrowif Hamas wanted to, but they
don't want it to be over.They will not. I don't even know.
Do you think they have I hatesaying this. Do you even think

(01:20:09):
they have half of these hostages alive? I don't think the kids are I
think that it's as horrible as itis to say this, I think the
babies that they kidnapped are gone.Just consider how they've treated their own people.
Hamas their own people. They haveno problems killing their own people.
The ones that approach those AID trucks, they have no problem killing those people.

(01:20:31):
So I have a hard time believingthey're just you know, taking care
of these hostages and waiting for adeal. I don't see that the majority
of them are even there anymore oralive anymore. I don't either, and
that's the heartbreaking I think reality ofall of this. I want to switch
gears and get into some twenty twentyfour stuff. And I know you saw

(01:20:53):
that the headlines about Henry Quaiar.He's a modern He was one of the
guys who came out one of thelawmakers who came out hard against Joe Biden's
immigration policies. The Justice Department indictedhim and his wife Friday as we were
finishing the show. They were accusedof accepting bribes close to a little over

(01:21:14):
half a million dollars, and theysaid the bribes came between twenty fourteen to
twenty twenty one from an oil andgas firm and a bank based out of
Mexico City, and it went througha Texas based shell company that's owned by
Quaar's wife. And so they basicallygot their being accused of getting paid to
lobby for a foreign entity, andthat was what the agreement was. They'll

(01:21:36):
pay them and then they have topush the interests of this, these foreign
entities, foreign countries, and well, I mean that's then you you should
be registered under the Foreign Agents RegistrationAct, and he can't do that as
a lawmaker anyway. So this that'swhat that's what this. I do think
the timing of this is kind ofinteresting, don't you now I've noticed as

(01:21:59):
one, Well, let me pullthis up because I was looking at some
of the reactions to all of it, and I did think it was interesting
because some are seeing this as likesome payback for George Santos. So George
Santos as you know, before theyeven had you know, the before it
was even litigated, before he wentto court, et cetera, the GOP

(01:22:26):
joined in and ran him out ofoffice, and then his seat went to
a Democrat, so with Quaar,because he was amongst the two hundred and
six Democrats that voted to expel Santos, he was one of the ones that
voted against it. So some ofthe Republicans are looking at it like its

(01:22:48):
payback for that, and they joinedwith Democrats to expel. One hundred and
five Republicans joined with those Democrats backin December to expel Santos before he was
convicted that, et cetera, etcetera, and a lot of people were
I was one of them. Ithought it was stupid that the GOP were
trying to act like this was lookat us, we're so devoted to principle
that we're actually willing to reduce ourmajority in the House, which they did.

(01:23:11):
They absolutely did, And now youhave Quaar and his wife. Now
you have this, like half amillion dollars. This was an Ethics Committee
report that I think that also,yeah, also Ethics Committee report. Now
the NRCC has compiled a database ofstatements from Democrats that were calling for Santos's

(01:23:32):
removal. Here's the thing. Republicansdid this themselves, because you had one
hundred and five Republicans that voted forhis removal, which I don't think he
would have been removed if everybody hadkind of been on the same page within
the Republican Party. But there's thedifference. They I it's important, Yes,
principle is important, but the RepublicanParty has got to stop betting on

(01:23:55):
the public recognizing double standards as at They look at this like it is
a get out the vote effort.They look at it like, oh,
well, this is going to makeus more appealing to voters. Whereas voters
see a party that literally minimize theirmajority in the House by a seat,
because before any kind of guilt isadjudicated, et cetera, they reduce their

(01:24:20):
majority by one in the House,committing quasi political seppuku for what to try
to make them seem more principled thanDemocrats, to try to make them,
to try to shame them. Democratsare going to be shamed. You're not
going to shame a Democrat for cryingout loud. This is the party of

(01:24:40):
Mary Jocopecni. Okay, you're notgoing to shame the Democrat Party. It's
not going to happen. It's thepart of This is the party of Monica
Lewinsky under the resolute desk. You'renot going to shame this party. It's
never going to happen. I justthink they need to stop. Yes,
people know that they're double standards.You don't cut off your nose to spe
your face, and I feel likethat's what they did with Santos and and

(01:25:02):
their numbers. I don't care.I don't care. Then let him be
found guilty, Let the voters decide. Let voters decide what they want to
do. I hate these people thatare like, I'm so principled. Look
at me, I'm going to reducemy majority by one seat because of my
principle. We're going to do it. We're not going to allow the voters
to do it. That was thesecond mistake that the Republicans made. They

(01:25:23):
shot themselves in the foot, andthen they didn't allow the voters to do
it. It's a voter's choice.So now they're going to going after with
qua going after Quaar, and Democratsare fine with it because Quaar is a
moderate and they're mad at him forhim coming out against the Biden administration on
immigration. So they're fine with this. So now you got you got House
Republicans. They're looking at Quaar's voteon Santos. He's a moderate. Excuse

(01:25:47):
me, he stood with him onimmigration, And now it's like they're going
to try to run out a moderatefrom that district. What are they doing?
What are you doing, Republicans,What in the world are you doing?
I don't know, I don't know. And then you've got that,
you've got gn IM crying fake newson she did what MSNBC and CBS Sunday

(01:26:10):
morning, two back to back disastrousinterviews. Jeez, and now all of
the news you would probably miss.It's time for Dana's Quick five. All
right, so top of this,first the well, we talked about this
wool thing that's old Perrier Perrier.Perrier Perrier is not soda. They actually

(01:26:33):
had a legal fight over this.I don't drink carbonated water because I think
it's gross. But they said thata court rules that Perier is soda,
not water and therefore can be taxed. Oh yeah, that's so if it
was water, it couldn't be taxed. Right, it's in Pennsylvania. They
said it's not French mineral water,it's soda. So that there was this

(01:26:58):
petition that was fouled all the wayback in twenty nineteen because this lady was
she bought some Perry and she gottaxed twenty four cents. And I cannot
believe that somebody would spend this amountof money to litigate this, but somebody
did. So wait a minute,it's just the carbonation makes it soda,
right, is that what they're saying, not syrup or any of the other
stuff in it. I don't evenknow. I think they just want to

(01:27:19):
tax and tax more things. Thisis why they made the decision. Yeah,
well, I'm not surprising this.A friend of a crowd surf victim
provided an update. She had ahorrific accident. This woman would not have
lived through a through a mosh pitlike she would not have lived through the
nineties. Buffalo, New York.A woman's fighting to recover after suffering a

(01:27:41):
serious injury during a concert in downtownBuffalo. It was a band member jumped
into the crowd. The crowdsurfing attemptleft this twenty four year old with a
serious spinal cord injury. So nowshe still has a very extensive Did he
don't jump on her? It brokeher neck? And every what a moron?
Member? Apparently you didn't have enoughfans on the floor to do this?

(01:28:03):
Stop it? Who does that?This isn't the late nineties, and
people are litigious, And I alsothink that that's not the place. That
was never the place to be,never the place to be in a concert,
especially if you're young female and you'reyoung and you're littler. Let's see
this. Oh a woman fed Ohgod, Lee, a woman fed a
It was a cow, a bull, a banana, and then the cows

(01:28:27):
began showing up at her back door. According to WFAA, Mansfield, Texas,
they had to take the cow backto its pasture. And this bull
and another one would go up tothis one LaToya Keeling's backyard every day where
she started giving them snacks and feedingthem. She's like an old lady with

(01:28:48):
birds, but with cows. Andthey had to come and lead the cattle
back because more and more kept showingup in her yard. Lead them back
to their pasture. Stick with us, we got more in store. Ready

Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Not my thing, So I'm gonna
keep this short like bronch bus.Actually, let me get into this real
quick. It pisses me off.I flew all the way out here and
you guys give me sixty seconds.My name is Dana. Is that not
trans enough for your lips? DanaWhite at the roast, the Tom Brady

(01:29:34):
Roast, which all those roasts seemawkward, they do right, Welcome back
to the program. Dana lash withyou. Bottom of this third hour,
that was Dana White. UFC.They gave him sixty seconds. You're gonna
bring out Dana White and only havehim talk for sixty seconds. It's kind
of lame. I don't understand thepoint of modern day roast. Like back
in the day, I mean,I wasn't alive, but I watched like

(01:29:57):
rebroadcasts of it. So but theyhad like the rat pack, right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, theydo the Dean Martin rose And you know
why it was so funny because allthose dudes were friends. All those dudes
knew each other, and they werefunny and they were friends. And I
mean I watched there's a couple ofthem I watched, and they roasted their
other friends and they were all outthere just dying. Like my favorite was

(01:30:20):
watching Sam Davis Junior fallout. Everytime that man was crying. Dean Martin,
who I don't think I read,didn't really drink it. He just
kind of acted like he was slashed. Now I read that he was kind
of like a thing you read whowas the guy who was the comedian who
his whole shtick was he was totallydrunk and barely like could barely talk.

(01:30:43):
He went up, I can't remember. It was a roast to somebody.
It was I cannot think of thecomics name. But he went up and
was like doing a bit about thedude's wife and how he was kind of
had an affair with the guy's wife. It was so funny. Jeff Ross.
No, no, this is olderthan Jeff Ross. This is rat
pack stuff. Yeah, yeah,yeah, I like the old ones because
these are lame. These are sostupid. Nobody. There are a bunch

(01:31:05):
of people that get up and theyhave They don't know each other, they
don't hang out with each other.Do you honestly believe that Tom Brady and
Kim Kardashian and Jeff Ross all hangout. No, they don't. And
Dana White they all just hang out. They're all buddies. My favorite part
of the the uh Dean Martin roastswas that Don Rickles got through John Rickles.
That was the one. I watchedthe roast of Don Richels, and

(01:31:26):
it was this dude who got up, This old dude. He had white
hair and like white hair like Santafake Santa Beard, white like it was
tufted. It was so white itceased being hair. It was just like
poof and he gets up and helike and it was a whole thing.
It was like a whole put on. But he was so funny. They

(01:31:47):
were hysterical and that's why they allknew each other and they all had that
camaraderie. You don't have that withthis. It's just very clinical. And
then like, Okay, you're thecomedians that you host, you're the pop
culture whatever, a person in popculture, and you're the athlete and you're
it's just it seems cold and impersonal, doesn't it. I don't like them.

(01:32:10):
I never watch those. They're alllame. They're all so lame,
and it's only there. The shockvalue is the only thing that's actually in
Christ. It hasn't been like that. They don't even write their own stuff,
Yeah, exactly, you know,don't. You don't think Kim Kardashian
wrote her own jokes, No,you don't. Jeff Ross probably also had
a ghost writer. I don't evenknow. And you can tell that they
don't like it. You can tellthat they don't hang out because there was

(01:32:30):
at one point when Tom Brady gotup, he made a joke. Jeff
Ross made a joke about Kraft andTom Brady got mad about it, like
in the middle of it, wentup and stage whispered right by the mic,
like knock that blank Offah, yeah, don't do it again, don't
say that blank again, and wentand said they don't even know each other

(01:32:51):
well enough. So it's just impersonaland it's weird, and it just seems
who would watch that. It's okay, humiliation like thing for some of these
people, like they'd almost like aritual. It's weird. Who was not
even all at this roast? Idon't even know. I had no interest
in watching it all whatsoever. Idon't even Tom Brady didn't even look like

(01:33:12):
he liked being there. Jeff Ross, I don't even think like being there.
They had like a couple of people, what Bill Belichick was there,
and then I don't know. KevinHart was Kevin Hart. Kevin Heart's funny,
But do I actually think that hehangs out with Tom Brady. No,
Kevin Hart is I think one ofthe funniest comedians right now. He
is hysterical. But do I actuallythink they hang out with Tom Brady?

(01:33:36):
Know, they don't hang out,but this is so stupid. This is
what I hate it's like, let'sjust go ahead, Central Casting, Let's
go ahead and pick celebrities to roastTom Brady so Kevin Hart hosted it,
though, Uh and who else?You Jeff Roy? I don't even know
who all of these people are.You had some other guy that I've never
seen before. You had Rob gronkKowski. Who's there? Okay, I

(01:34:00):
get it, But that that's it, Like there's only like a few of
them that hang out, and that'syou know, it's dumb. Nobody watches
that. Nobody's gonna watch that.Those are people that are gonna watch us
skibbity toilet Like we were just talkingabout on break, don't watch this.
Like two people out in our audienceknew who that was. A couple of
things. What is the man versusbear stuff? And why will it not

(01:34:23):
get out of all my social mediafeeds? Have you guys heard about this?
The man versus bear thing? It'slike a stupid like a feminist thing?
Is feminist? I don't know.So apparently women were asked, if
you were alone in the woods,would you rather encounter a bear or a

(01:34:43):
man? Now, I'm always armed, so I'm gonna have, you know,
a nine millimeter. That's not goingto handle a bear. So I
would feel better meeting a man becauseif you try to get weird, I
just shoot him. So who hasthis? People are picky? Bear?
Is that the whole thing? Womenare picking? Bear? I think so?

(01:35:05):
Someone wrote bear man is scary?I why isn't? Why are bears
and men being asked the question ofwhat would you do if you encountered a
woman in the forest? Men shouldbe asked if you encountered a woman or
a bear in the forest, Whatwould you do if you encountered who'd rather
encounter in the forest? And whya bear or a one? I'd seem

(01:35:27):
more right to encounter a bear,Yeah, because I don't know there's trouble.
You encounter a woman in the woods, you better run away, like
right away, because you'll either getblamed for something or be just here non
stop nagging about being in the woods. Yeah, and you can't correct them.
It's man's plaining. Steve, wouldyou rather encounter a woman or a

(01:35:49):
bear in the woods? I wasasked this question on Saturday, and I
not You were not asked that question. I was because someone was on Twitter
while we were at the where atthe bar, and I said, I
said bear, You said bear.There it is. Now, why would
you rather encounter a bear? BecauseI've never seen one like that in a
while? And you could what that'swhat he picks. He picks a bear

(01:36:13):
because he's never seen a bear inthe wild, not at a zoo.
Of course, you gotta love howlike wholesome he is with how you don't
want to encounter a woman in thewoods. Maybe, Oh my gosh,
that's the part that I'd like.I love it a little. So he's
not endoorant in the woman. Hejust ain't never seen a bear in the

(01:36:35):
wild and so want stuff that'd bea real treat. Yeah, that's I
love it. I love it.That's I think if I had to encounter,
if I had to pick a bearor another woman, I could,
well, I just look at whatcan I overpower? Right? So I
pick a woman? Yeah, yeah, I could just you know, she

(01:36:55):
try to get weird too, Ijust you know, same nine millimeter or
I just whipper you know. Oneof are one of our contributors, And
Slack made a good point about somedifferent way of putting this situation. Uh
huh, oh, you can readit for yourself. But I'll let you
read it. Oh you you're goingto read it? Wait, what is
this the Foster Brooks No, whatyou're talking about? The quote in general,

(01:37:21):
the quote that's one of our contributorsput that. Okay. I was
like, I don't know if thechance die now, uh oh yeah,
well a bear would a bear wouldjust kill me. A man would take
advantage of me first. That's whatthe premise is, that men would like
apparently rape the woman first and abear would only kill blah blah blah,
ladies. Not every many wants tohave sex with you. I just don't

(01:37:41):
want to burst your bubble. Butyou know you're not all that, Okay.
We dedicated four and a half minutesof broadcast time to this subject.
Is ridiculous. I think it's hysterical. It says everything that there is about
culture that there I just who walksaround like everybody wants to get with me?
Everybody wants to like have the sexwith me? Like it's just all
the men's everywhere who walks around thingslike that. Not every man is a

(01:38:05):
predator. Not every man is apredator, just like well I gotta say
that part, but you know whatI mean, Come on, see,
I don't know. Now, maybeI would rather encounter a bear than a
woman in the woods because a womanwould drive me absolutely backcrap insane. Women
drive me nuts. I'm a womanis a third wave feminist because I think

(01:38:28):
that's important. What wave are weon eleventh the fourth turning? I don't
know, we're somewhere way beyond Susanb. Anthony. That's all I know.
Second or third wave feminist? Thenyeah, I'd definitely prefer a bear.
Wait, you gotta do you gottacheck there. Wait a minute,
now, lady, you tell meare you which wave feminist for you?
And then I'm gonna and then I'lleither pick hanging with you or getting malled
by this bear. So so thumbsup to the first wave. All the

(01:38:54):
other waves you're just you're horrible.Well, I mean I like the equal
pay, that's you know, forI like meritocracy. But aside from meritocracy,
you know, to hell with everythingelse at all, aggregation. Meritocracy
is not patriarchy. Well that's whatthey say. Who says that the left?
Oh, there are a bunch ofbitches cares? So we told you

(01:39:17):
the headline where uh Hamas negotiated todeal with itself and said it accepted,
and then Israel was like, waita minute, hold up, we don't
accept. And then now everyone's like, whoa. It's really easy to negotiate
a deal for yourself that you accept, right, Like if you're in contract
negotiations, will I negotiate a milliondollar payday for me annually? And uh,

(01:39:41):
I accept that deal? That worksall the time, doesn't it.
You all try this, like rightwhen you're negotiating, you know, you're
getting ready to take a new job. You negotiate a deal with yourself,
You're like, well, I acceptthis deal. It's amazing. Let's get
the ink on this one. Sothat's what that's what Hamas did. They
just negotiated up a little deal forthemselves' secon when you're shopping for a house
and you just put an offer inon the house but don't allow a counter

(01:40:04):
offer. Yeah, I accept thisone. This one's you can't accept for
the other part, yes I can. That's what Hamas, I guess,
thought they were doing. They weregoing to accept for them and for Israel.
They got all out there. Therewas a pressure tactic to try to
make Israel two. It was atwo two prong thing. They wanted to

(01:40:25):
make Israel accept it and then alsotry to make Israel look bad because they
wouldn't accept nothing mentioned about the hostages. So that's how you know that.
Hamas, Oh, yeah, welove this deal. We don't have to
release anybody. Yeah, you justgot to stop killing us. We're not
gonna stop killing you, but weco sign this deal right here that says

(01:40:45):
you got to stop killing us.Well, that's not how that works,
not how that works at all.And how are they going to get by
the way, this AID we toldyou about that because they keep firing on
that little pier they got out there. How are they going to get the
AID actually into Gaza because the lastlike from last week, the last AID

(01:41:09):
convoy that we're not really convey gusand truck one truck that came in,
Hamas is picking people off of it. They were sniping people from the rooftop
that got too close to the AIDtruck. So how are you going to
get AID into the people of Gazabecause Hamas is just going to sell it
to him. I don't know.Yeah, John Kirby said that Biden made

(01:41:30):
it clear, Oh did he?Though marble Mouth made it clear to the
Israeli Prime Minister that he's against aground operation in Rafa. Since when does
since when do we get to tellpeople what they can and can't do to
secure their own countries? Right,that's like saying, well, we're against
you United States reacting after Pearl Harbor. It's almost like the US had a
tiny hand in this Hamas negotiation.It's almost like it's almost like, huh,

(01:42:00):
yeah, you can't, we don't, we don't support a ground operation.
Well, what idea do you haveto stop a moss? Brain trust?
What idea do you have to stopa moss and release the hostages?
That is the only option left.You got a terror group that doesn't want
to release hostages, and they willnot stop trying to kill people in Israel,
So all you have left is togo into Rafa. If you don't

(01:42:21):
want them to go into a Rafinto Rafa, then maybe prevail upon your
terrorist friends to release the hostages andstop firing rockets at Israelis. Otherwise you're
going to get company in Rafa.See how this works. They could end
all of this tomorrow, but theywon't. They refuse to. That's the
deal that Hamas actually negotiated and acceptedfor themselves. Follow Dana on Apple,

(01:42:45):
Spotify, or wherever you get yourpodcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.
We've made clear our views about operationsin Rafa that could potentially put more
than a million innocent people that greaterrisk. During his call with Prime Minister
Netaho, the President again made thisclear. He also made clear that we
continue to believe that the hostage dealis the best way to avoid that sort

(01:43:10):
of an outcome while securing the releaseof those hostages. And as I said,
those conversations continue, but there's likeno hostages that are a part of
the no, no hostages are beingreleased and the deal that Hamas negotiated for
itself. Welcome back to the program, Dana, lash with you. It's

(01:43:32):
right, I mean, give usour people back and then we can talk
about what kind of deal. Whyis it so hard to demand that Hamas
do that? I don't know,why is that so difficult to be like,
look, y'all, they got tobe releasing them hostages and they got
to stop firing rockets off into Israel. I mean, it just it just

(01:43:53):
seems like those are the two mostobvious things that you would stipulate as part
of any ongoing negotiation. Apparently thatcan't be done. Apparently that's that can't
be done. Make sure you signup over at substec chapter and verse,
because we have some interesting pieces comingout. We're gonna have some twenty twenty
four stuff as well, just kindof a little bit increasing the attention given

(01:44:17):
to it, just looking between thelines and some of the polling and all
of that stuff as we get closerto November, which is going to be
here before you know it. Crazyenough. And as for the protest,
did you guys see Michael Moore declarethat you he goes you have to take
over buildings during campus protests and ifyou haven't started an encampment at your college,

(01:44:38):
do it. It is really easyfor him to say because he's not
there doing any of it. Andalso schools getting ready to be done?
Right, aren't a lot of universitiesdone this week? You're not going to
hear a lot about these campus protestsanymore. I think probably after this week
and next week, I think that'llit's going to die down as everybody goes

(01:44:59):
back home, and then nobody's goingto interested enough, and then what is
the left going to do to getout the vote? What are they going
to do to get out the vote? Do you honestly think that people are
gonna put up with this stuff takinginto the streets and all those because I
guarant damn tu people will not havethe temperament for that. No, they're
gonna, They're gonna be done withit. This has gone on the downside
of the left. Pushing to getthis political season started as early as it

(01:45:20):
has has made people. I thinka lot they don't have a lot,
a lot of patience for shenanigans.All right, today in stupidity? Can
it is representative Maxine Waters? Itdoes look like Bill Cosby playing the role
of a homeless woman or talking corpseor talking corpse. Absolutely, she's here
saying that Trump supporters are just trainingup in the hills to attack all these

(01:45:42):
cities. Listen, this is aman who we better be careful about.
And I tell you what I'm goingto do. I'm going to ask the
Justice Department, and I'm gonna askthe President to tell us what they're going
to do to protect this country againstviolence if he loses. I want to
know about all of those right wingorganizations that he's connected with who are training

(01:46:05):
up in the hills somewhere, Yes, and targeting. Uh you know what
was your camp? Your your business? You tweeted it out. Oh yeah,
it's uh it's uh the up inthe hills, uh violence training.
Yes, that's a I just cameback from that myself. Folks, have
a wonderful evening. I'll be backwith you tomorrow.
