Speaker 1 (00:00):
First relates to gain of function research.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Gain of function research is a type of biomedical research
where pathogens are adulterated. Viruses are adulterated to make them
more potent or to change the way that they function.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Many people believe that gain.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Of function research was one of the key causes of
the COVID pandemic that struck us in the last decade.
What this executive order does, first of all, it provides
powerful new tools to enforce the ban on federal funding
for gaina function research abroad. It also strengthens other oversight
mechanisms related to that issue and creates an overarching strategy

(00:41):
to ensure that biomedical research in general is being conducted
safely and in a way that ultimately protects human health more.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's a big deal. Could have been that we wouldn't
have had the problem. We had a lot of people
say that, sir.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
If we had this done earlier, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
All right. I love the guy that tells him all
this stuff. He's like the town crier. Well, mister president,
this is right. Here has to do with a gain
of function research and the stupid stuff that Anthony Fauci
was secretly doing. And he never runs out of patience
explaining this to Podus like he never he doesn't, he

(01:23):
doesn't what am I thinking of? He doesn't get tired
of it, and he doesn't edit this. What is editorialize?
He doesn't editorialize any of it. And he's just like, well,
mister President, this is what this is. I love. I
just love it. I love that aspect of it. And
I think I want him to do all of it

(01:44):
all the time everywhere. I just wish. I don't know
you're gonna hear. You know what I'm gonna say. None
of this matters. Anything of Congress doesn't do, Congress doesn't
do its job, doesn't matter. None of it matters.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
I'm so sorry to be the bear of bad news.
But at least I'm being honest with you. If the people,
the other people that you talk to or listen to
aren't telling you this stuff, you got to be questioning
what they're in. Their end goal is sorry, but you
got to trust no bee, y'all. You got to you
gotta be wondering why they're not talking more about this.
So welcome to the program, Dane Lash with you, and

(02:17):
we're at the uh top of this first hour and
then we also have We've got a lot to hit
because we've got kin, We've got the the the Pope
World Series, and uh, we're gonna be talking about I
don't I so my husband's family is there are some
of them are Catholic, uh, and I just we're gonna

(02:38):
get into some of what is happening because they shut
the doors a little bit ago to Saint Peter's the
uh where they and it's beautiful in there. I can't
imagine a more beautiful place to have to work than
the Sistine Chapel. It is absolutely gorgeous. You're not supposed
to take photos there, and I think it's trashy. Jade

(02:58):
Vance was given permission. I think it's trashy when people
don't listen, because the rest of us listen and we
don't take photos. But anyway, it's beautiful in there, and
they were explaining to us exactly what happens when we
were there the one and only time I've ever been
at the Vatican a couple of years ago. But I mean,

(03:18):
the beauty of the room cannot be appreciated enough. It
is one of the most amazing things to work. I
would be sort of distracted if I was a cardinal,
I'd be looking at the ceiling. I mean I wouldn't
because I'd be a woman. That wouldn't happen. But you
know what I mean, I'd be looking around looking at
the ceiling, like did you guys see this part here?

(03:40):
I wouldn't get anything done. So all that started. They
just shut the doors of the conclave and then where
everybody's going to be watching the smoke. And it's I mean,
it's very interesting how you have the new pope selection
happening and you have this new administration happening simultaneously. I'm
not saying the two are related. What I'm saying is
that there are major shifts underway. Look at it like

(04:03):
that for a moment. This is what my brain does
to me at night when I go to bed, right,
this is my brain. My brain's like, do you think
if we had email back? And I mean it asks
me all My brain asks me all kinds of stupid
questions and I can't go to sleep. But then I
was thinking, like, wow, there's like a major shift happening
right now. And we're going to talk about that a

(04:23):
little later on in the program with a friend of
mine who is the most experty expert that I know.
He's literally the most Catholic person I've ever met. My
wife and I have a lot of Catholic friends, except
for maybe one of my other friends and who's a she.
But we're gonna talk to Matthew Marston, who's also an actor.
He's been in some stuff, but he literally is the

(04:44):
most He's got a million children. That's like the first
thing you know, that's like you're either I mean, you're
either Catholic or you're redoing Cheaper by the dozen. One
of the two, that old movie, one of the two. Anyway,
So we're gonna talk to him about that because there's
there is a growing number and it's really gen Z.
And there's been a lot of rumors about this for

(05:05):
like the past ten years or so that they are
maybe the more conservative generation. You've heard this too, King right,
Like they might be the more conservative generation because I
think gen Z and gen X don't like millennials and
boomers and millennials hate each other. Gen X gets along
with everybody. We'll talk about this too, because Vogue had

(05:27):
a piece saying our gen X really the cool ones,
and I'm like, yeah, duh, welcome. But I bring this
up because there's a crazy amount of young people that
are becoming not spiritual, but becoming Christian, and particularly amongst
that group, there is a huge movement towards Catholicism, and

(05:49):
I find that fascinating. With gen Z, what contributes to
that because no one, I don't think anyone thought to
study it, No one really was like paying attention to
gen Z. And gen Z has been raised by gen
X and super old millennials, old millennials and gen X
have raised gen Z, young boomers raised millennials. So that's

(06:15):
it's just fascinating. We're going to discuss some of that.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Also, the other big thing, uh kind of kicked off
yesterday between India and Pakistan. I don't know if you
saw this. I had. I saw a lot of headlines
joking about, well goodbye, that was it. We had a
good we had a nice run. So India launched a
military operation so in response to a terror attack. A

(06:39):
lot of the headlines were really misleading about this stuff
because see again it's like Hamas and Israel. You know,
Pakistan commits it to they you have people in Pakistan,
they carry out to terror atrocity in India India responds militarily,
and they're like, oh, India attacked Pakistan. They didn't, though
it was a response Pakistan has vowed. I don't know

(07:01):
how Pakistan can vow retaliation because it's what India did.
But this has to do with the Pakistan administered territories
in Kashmir. India's Ministry of Defense said it was targeting
specifically terrorist infrastructure because of that deadly attack last month,
and everyone's been saying it's a major escalation. Can we
just full stop? I am so tired of Whenever terrorists

(07:21):
decide to kill people, that's not considered an escalation, but
when good people respond to put an end to terrorism,
that's considered an escalation. I really feel. I think at
this point, if you're writing those type of headlines, you're
also a terrorist. CNN has some terrorists describing it as
a quote unquote major escalation. Done with it, done with it?

(07:42):
That the I mean, this is asinine, kane. How many
times have we seen this? They protect terrorists, whether it's
a mass or whether it's these terror cells in Pakistan.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Mind boggling.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
I mean, okay, we all learned cause and effect in
like elementary school, right I mean, I remember learning about
causing effect, like in first or second grade. If someone
does something to you, that's considered the provocation, right, that's
the cause. If someone responds that isn't the cause. That's

(08:14):
literally the response, that's the effect of that original action.
But yet, I have a CNN headline, I have seen
in I have an associated press, I have an a
Gen's France press. I'm looking at they are all saying, no,
India escalates, India escalates, India escalates, India escalates, over and
over again. That's all I've seen. That was a response.

(08:35):
That's like saying, Israel escalated everything after Hamas carried out
the genocide against them on October seventh. It is like
this every single time. Why do these why are these
people so hard up for terrorists all over there? It's crazy.
So we're gonna come back to this because you have
two nuclear powers that are slat fighting right now. I'm

(08:57):
just I'm team team India. By the way, I'm team India.
I'm just gonna say it. You're going to see a
lot of these experts though on so I'm tam India
just because I mean it's terrorism. Pakistan has been fighting
over they've been fighting over this area. Sounds very familiar, right,
So we're gonna get into all of this stuff. Also,
we the I got law and order for you, and

(09:18):
we're gonna get into some of the immigration issues because
this is pushing forward in the House, this saydea to
have people's self deport and I'm just saying, maybe if
we had harsher penalties against people who enter the country illegally,
we wouldn't have to pay them an additional one thousand
dollars in taxpayer money to encourage them nicely to go

(09:39):
back across the border to their place of origin. Just
wanted to throw that out there. Also, what if we
had e verify, wouldn't e verify also be a good
deterrence against that, so we don't have to pay people
one thousand dollars of again hard earned taxpayer dollars. I'm
just saying, it just seems like that would It seems

(10:00):
like that might be the thing to do. So we're
gonna touch on that as well. We also have again
this law and order stuff. I wanted to pull this
up the it's a there's a couple of self defense issues.
One of them was in was reported by Fox DC.

(10:23):
And this is in Virginia where a homeowner is they're
considering whether or not they're going to charge this homeowner
in the fatal shooting that happened over the weekend of
a teenager. Well, he's eighteen years old, so he's a
young adult. He's a legal adult at this point. So
they said that these three young adults were saying that
they were just doing ding dong ditch. First off, if

(10:47):
you're eighteen years old and you're doing ding dong ditch,
you're a loser. That's like, why don't you go and
play with some legos? Next, that's so stupid. But that's
not what they were doing. Because Cain, when you did
to explain to the radio audience, King Dong didsh what's
the prince? Like, what's the practice?

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well, you go up to the front door of the
home where the doorbell dinger as one goes, yeah, right,
the dingy thing, and then you press the doorbell dingy
thing right, and then you run.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Away, right, Okay, So that's it. So they were in
the backyard.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
There's no doorbell.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, I mean, do you guys have doorbells in your backyard?
I don't have a doorbell in my backyard, Steve, do
you have a doorbell in your backyard? Well, you're in DC,
so you're but I mean, you know, did your folks
have a doorbell in their backyard? Okay, see just the front.
It's like kind of typical wine. You don't have a
doorbell in the back, right, Yeah. Yeah, I just wanted
to make sure, like I wanted to make sure that
I wasn't one of the poor, you know, losers that

(11:44):
didn't have a doorbell in their backyard. I don't know,
maybe it's like something for fancy people. Anyway, these three
young adults eighteen and up were in this guy's backyard,
breaking and entering, and he had no idea what was
going on. He's like, holy cow, and he fires himself defense.
One of them is killed, and they're considering whether or
not they're going to charge this guy for self defense.

(12:05):
We're going to talk about this case because again, it
always comes down to self defenses under attack. So we
have a lot to get into the ongoing conclave. I
don't think from what I understand from the Vaticanistas or
whatever they call the people that monitor the day to day,
I don't think you're going to see any any indication
that they have concluded a round of ballots until I

(12:27):
think it's like too eastern, So it'll probably be like
one central too eastern, because there's a whole process that
goes along with it. You know, when you cast the ballot,
you say the name or the cardinals that are adjudicating
it or read the name. Then they say it out
loud and then they you know, they poke the whole
through the thing, the red string. They it's like a
big thing. It almost sounds like they're making garland. But

(12:48):
there's a whole process so they So I don't think
that you're going to see like any indication from first
round till later today. So we have a lot to
hit today and you don't want to miss any of it.
But as we move our friends over at Preborn, Great

Speaker 6 (14:34):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quickfive.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
So apparently in Ohio police found a raccoon with a
meth pipe in the driver's seat of a car. I'm
not making this up. There's actual video of it. The
officer couldn't stop laughing. The raccoon was trying to smoke
a meth pipe during a vehicle search in Springfield Township, Ohio. Now,
there is a crazy lady also in the car in
the driver's seat, but the raccoon was in her lap

(15:03):
and it had a meth pipe in its mouth, and
the lady was being stopped for a suspended license and
then they found this like massive drug supply in her vehicle.
The raccoon's name is Chewy, and it was making use
of the meth pipe. The owner of Victoria Vidal fifty
five was detained no, Chewi was not driving the car.

(15:24):
The human occupant whom also had she also had a
warned out for her arrest was the driver of the car.
But Chewy got ahold of the glass meth pipe, and
then officers were like, well, you know now you're being
irresponsible with your raccoon, so now we gotta go. And
I mean, I don't know if I can play the
video for you yet because they think there's probably some
colorful language. But we'll dust it up for you and

(15:47):
shake it off here coming up because it's oh man.
Smokey Robinson and his wife were sued by four women
as the stars, being accused of raping staff after luring
them to camera less rooms. Okay, I need stop. This
has got to stopped. Its smoked Robinson. Tears of a clown,
smoking Robinson. I mean, do you believe that in him?
Do you think he did this.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Years old took place.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
If he didn't move, I'd be like he's done dead.
If he didn't move, I'd be like that man is deceased.
There is he is not with us because he's got
this perpetually like dead look on his face. I don't
know anyway there, I just I don't know if I
buy it. I think somebody's trying to shake him out
for money, because they've never launched these accusations against him
in his career. This came out of nowhere when the

(16:32):
man's in his mid eighties. Left handed people are apparently
more It's a more common to be left handed if
you have a certain mental disorder, A major study fines.
I think this is all nonsense. It's nonsense, kine and

Speaker 4 (18:33):
A twelve foot tall bronze statue of a woman that's
been erected in Times Square. It's the only erection that's
going to be related to this statue. It's constructing the
statue came because once you put it up it's up.
What are you talking about? Welcome back, Dana' last year
with you. We're at the bottom of this first hour.

(18:54):
I bring this up because you guys know, I hate madernity, right,
I hate modern art, and I hate this monstrosity. To
compare it to Michelangeli's David is like taking your thumb,
grabbing the skull of all of art and shoving your
thumb into the eye hole of that skull and just
digging in. It's just that's exactly what it's like. And

(19:19):
I mean, this ain't no David, I gotta say. I mean,
first off, let's just talk about the factual aspect of it,
because woke is infecting art, as you know. And with
Michalangeli's David, he studied anatomy and physiology to the point
where you could see raised portions of the skin indicating

(19:40):
what tendons were being used to hold his hand a
certain way. Everything I mean, down to the angle of
the eyebrow and the tenseness of the muscles in his jaw.
It was all pointing towards he was about to get

(20:00):
into a fight with Goliath. It's young David. I mean,
it is a masterpiece I've seen it so close at
the Academia where they have the museums there in Florence,
and it is amazing. It is so detailed and so lifelike.
You can't even appreciate it just from the photos of it.

(20:22):
And they let you get right up to it. I mean,
it's butts right in your face, giant five foot butt,
you know anyway, but it's fan I mean, it's amazing,
just the attention to detail, and for that era as well.
To note that for that era. When I look at
this modern day equivalent of the Staypuff marshmallow Man, think

(20:48):
Ghostbusters like Choose Your Destroyer. I don't know. That is
not it. It's not it. What does it celebrate? What is
this supposed to celebrate? They just put it in Time
Square and you saw some of the celebration or the
ceremony that they had for it. It's gonna be on
display through June seventeenth. It's part of a series that's

(21:12):
called Grounded in the Stars, and it's about stupid identity politics. Sorry,
this is how they put it. It confronts preconceived notions
of identity and a representation whatever the hell that means.
It's garbage. Modernity. It just looks like a frumpy woman
who needs a better bra. That's what it looks like.
I'm not gonna lie it does. And they're like, oh,

(21:35):
she wears everyday clothes. Her stance is subtle nod to David.
Shut up. It just looks like she's mad at her kids.
I don't understand. I mean, it's could I sculpt this?
I mean probably no, I have no interest in it.
I crochet, But what is the point? I mean, David.

(21:58):
Every inch of David was calculated and and the the
proportions of it were all to send a message, like,
for instance, the story of how It's it's meant to
be viewed from below. David is meant to be viewed
from below. And there were a lot of questions as
to the proportions of everything his wrists, his hands, his head, everything.

(22:20):
It's actually mathematically perfectly proportional when viewed from the ground,
because it was supposed to be. I mean, they were
there were they were going to uh it was actually
something that was supposed to be I think, up near
towards the Duomo, and then they ended up putting it
uh in front of uh Platzovecchio and uh there. I mean,
it's it's just perfect. There was a story of one

(22:42):
of the rich noblemen who came to see the finished
product and when he showed up, he's like, oh, Michelangelo,
his nose is just a little too big. I don't know.
Michelangelo is like, oh, let me fix that for you.
And he had some marble dust in his hand, and
he climbed up his ladder and he was pretending to
chisel on the nose and letting dust fall out of

(23:02):
his hand. He did nothing to it. And when he
got back, and this is a true story, when he
got off the ladder, the nobleman was like, oh my gosh,
it's perfect now. Like he was able to, you know,
with his expertise fix it. This is not that, it's not.
I mean, it's not. I don't know what it's meant
to convey. What is I mean? What is this? What
does the sculpture say to you? What does it say
to you? I hate when you're like what does art

(23:24):
say to you? Can I just appreciate it for being
for what it is? Does it have to always have
a message?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Just?

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Must art always preach? Stop? I just look at like, gosh,
I want to get her rebetter bra. That's my first
thought when I look at this, stop it. You know
it is too I mean it just seems defeated, right,
I don't know, but they said that, Oh no, it's
a you know, it's a they're celebrating whatever identity. I

(23:50):
don't know, some stupid stuff. It's a bunch of word salad,
that's all it is. So I don't know. Say, to
sit here and compare it to David is one of
the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life. It's not.
And the reason it's not is because there's no detail
in it. It's all smooth. There's not even detail in
the jeans. There's not even seeming on the jeans, like
if you're wearing pants, if you're wearing denim, you have
seams on the denim, you have tailoring, you have stitching

(24:14):
on the arms. The arms are smooth. There's no veins
on the arms. There's no appearance. I mean, they're not
lifelike at all. It looks like she's covered just by
you know, like with fondant. That's it. There's no detail.
Michelangelo had had incorporated all of that detail into David,
every bit of detail so to compare them is artistically,

(24:36):
intellectually stupid. It's one of the dumbest comparisons I've ever
heard of my life. Stop. I had to get this
off my chest because this sculpture is horrifying. I'm like,
when you're comparing it to David, why, Like, why do
we sit here and devalue skill sets? You know, there
are some really amazing sculptors out there, but they don't
get any attention because they don't do woke stuff. There

(24:56):
are some phenomenal sculptors out there, some that are their
genius probably could you know, propel them up into that
upper echelon with those Renaissance grades, but you never hear
about them because they don't do stupid woke stunts like this.
This is just an embarrassment. If I had done this
sculpture and someone was comparing it to David, I would
immediately have to get out in front of that and

(25:17):
be like, oh, dear heavens, no, I mean all you
have to do again, look at her wrists and there's
the other photos that show you what her hands look
like in her arms, and it's all smooth, there's no detail,
there's no bones, there's no veins. There's no valleys in
between the tendons that go towards your fingers. David had
all of that. That's why it is so amazing. It

(25:39):
is one of the most lifelike sculptures you're ever going
to see, and they this is not it. So I
feel like that people making these comparisons literally know nothing
of what they're speaking about, not at all. You know,
that stuff aggravates me. Gosh, I hate modernity. Modernity is
just garbage. The Supreme Court ruled that Potus's ban on

(26:00):
transgender troops can stay for now. They lifted a lower
court's decision to pause the policy, which is a significant
win for POTUS and SECTAF and it allows the DoD
to continue removing transgender service members from the military and

(26:20):
denying enlistment. I don't think transgender you can get, Madame
Eli you want to. I don't think that transgender soldiers.
If you're not able to serve first and be a
part of a unit without bringing that with you, then
you are not fit for service. I think it's a
mental illness. I think pretending to be a different sex
is a mental illness. Either that or it's a selfish

(26:42):
demand upon society that masks itself as a mental illness
for greater acceptance and to avoid any kind of challenge. Ultimately,
I think that's what the majority of it is. But no,
if you have a mental illness, no you should not
be in the military. I mean, for crying out loud,
if you have flat feet, I don't even know if
that works anymore. But they used to deny you for that.

(27:05):
They would deny you if you had like scoliosis. They
would deny you if you have like a number of
other even what we would consider to be minor ailments,
minor physical issues, you would be considered unfit for service.
And the whole purpose is that they you're only as
a unit is only as strong as its weakest member,

(27:27):
and you want your weakest member to be tough and
to not have any vulnerabilities at all whatsoever. And I
just it's either about having a fighting force and caring
about the lives of the other individuals who selflessly said
that they were going to serve, or it's not. I
think it's selfish to demand that everyone else lower their
expectations and endanger their lives to accommodate cosplay that has

(27:53):
no position in the military. I don't care. It has zero,
zero belonging in the military. So I'm glad that the
Supreme Court did this. They said that. So it's this
because this is all from that executive order that was
signed towards the end of January. And you know, they
immediately started started in on that. They immediately started to

(28:15):
litigate it. And they had obviously Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson
would have they indicated in the filing that they would
have decided against them. But so this, this is a
big this is a big celebratory thing because we can
now maybe start to get back to restoring the purpose
of our military. Of course, again broken record, if Congress

(28:38):
doesn't do any of this, this will all revert in
three years if you have a Democrat president. Heaven forbid,
all this is gone, every bit of it, every bit.
And now do you know the excuse that I'm hearing from,
not hearing, but reading from some Republican lawmakers when they're
pushing back against voters who were demanding action and stop

(29:01):
dragging their feet. You know what they're saying, all we
gotta wait till after midterms. That is actually I told you,
I told you, I told you I told you they're
going to constantly use that is it because they don't
want to do it. They don't want to do any
of this stuff. You know, sometimes you got to ask,
is the real opponent Democrats or is it other Republicans

(29:21):
within the party. I think that's the big that's the
big question. This is also the historic anniversary of the
ending of all hostilities. I mean, the Nazis gave up today.
This is there's a lot of the ending of World
War Two, and I think most it's I think most

(29:47):
everybody sells it on May eighth, but actually it apparently
happened at two forty one am local time on May seventh,
at a ceremony in Reems, France, and that's when Eisenhower,
who was at the time the Supreme Command under the
Allied Forces in Europe, had actually that's when he actually
officially accepted the unconditional surrender, surrender of Nazi Germany. So

(30:09):
most of everybody celebrates it the the V day on the eighth,
but technically it was two forty one am local time
May seventh is when it happened, the unconditional surrender of
Nazi Germany. And how sad that we're seeing such a
rise in some bigotry and all of this stuff worldwide.

(30:32):
All these years later, we have more on the way.
Celtech generations three Gen three Sub two K ten millimeter.
We've been waiting for this for a long time because
we you know, we were telling you about the the
fifty seven, fifty fiddy, the fifty seven. This is the
third generation of the sub two K. It's a folding carbine.

(30:53):
It's available in variety of calibers, now even more versatile
with its new ten millimeter chain, single twist and fold
motion of that rotating four and it folds really quickly
and half optics in all, and it just as quickly
deploys zeroed and ready to rock. Folds down to sixteen
and a half inches for easy storage and transport. It

(31:13):
takes clockmags standard fifteen round blockmag. I got a lot
of capacity for most shooting needs. You got an exten
optional extended mag fifty round drum also, you know, for
more freedom, fewer reloads, and an internal buffer for softer recoil,
lighter five pound trigger pool integrated m like. It got
picatinny rails up top for accessory attachments, all kinds of
stuff and it's ideal for everything. Church security can't be backpacking,

(31:37):
law enforcement, home defense, and everything is made right here
in the USA. So tariffs ain't affecting this American materials,
American labor, and they stand behind everything that they make.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
Like SEMs through the Only Glance. So are the days
of the United States.

Speaker 9 (32:14):
The FBI they're reviewing there are tens of thousands of
videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there
are hundreds of victims, and no one victim will ever
get released. It's just the volume. And that's what they're
going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
I don't believe any of it. I'm sorry, I'm so
tired of hearing this stupid nonsense. I don't believe anything.
Didn't she have this stuff on her desk like a
month ago? No, didn't she tell everybody. She tweeted it out,
she had the stuff on her desk. Where is it at?

Speaker 6 (32:47):
And effort to make sure that those hundreds of these.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
People all they are are a bunch of damn pimps
that use this stuff for clout and they don't release
a single bit of it. Who's reviewing what? Put it
all out there? Put it all out there. Don't jeopardize
a damn thing. Why are you looking at me like that?

Speaker 6 (33:05):
Because these victims, they have to redact all the information
out of there to make sure these victims are protected
from them.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
They had these files that were redacted.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
I don't know how long. I don't know how many
files there are.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Or forever this stuff's been sitting on the longs.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
What do you what do you think is a reasonable
amount of time to make sure these victims don't get
their names in?

Speaker 4 (33:23):
It's not difficult to do. You can use AI strip
the names.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
How much time be?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Five seconds? Five seconds? Yep? Use AI stripped the names out.
Yeah they think you're stupid.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Yeah they're stupid. They're wasting time.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Yeah they are, they're wasting time. Remember when they were like,
oh we got this on our desk, Yeah, we have
them in our possession. Then where did that talking point go?
That was over a month ago. All I hear are
a bunch of political pimps that are just using this
stuff for clout. That's all it is. I'm tired of it.
I'm so tired of the press conferences about it. Well
we've got it. Yeah, we're still reviewing it. Okay, y'all
said that a month ago.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
I'm also hearing rumors of thous of documents and records
being destroyed in regards to this epstein.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
All they have to do that the files that they have,
It's not difficult. You can control effort, control effort, find
the names, get them out, use AI to strip out
any names. And yet it's not difficult. That's actually one
of the easiest things you could do is to redact it.
That's not even an issue. The issue is that they
won't do it because they I don't know, give me

(34:26):
a good ar I have no faith in anyone. So
clearly you need to understand my perspective on this. I
have no faith in anyone, be they writer or live.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
I completely understand your perspective on it, but I don't
have I'm not going to sit there and say Pam
body is lying.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
I didn't say she was lying.

Speaker 6 (34:39):
She said she's not telling the truth.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
I said that these are I said that this is
like a political pimp stump. I'm so tired of hearing
about Oh we got it. Yeah, wink wink, Yeah, we're
going through them. Okay, you a month ago, and then
a month ago you said that. A month ago you.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
Said you don't believe them, which would imply that they're lying.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Yeah, I don't believe them. I didn't stay lying though.
There's the difference. I don't believe them. You can have misdirection,
which technically isn't a lie if you're a meeting certain information.

Speaker 6 (35:03):
Government certainly knows about misdirection.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Yeah. I just showed me the files. Man, That's all
we've been asking for. There's always some kind of excuse
that they got. And now they're revictimizing the victims more
by acting like they can't redact their names.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
Come on, maybe some ghost stole this.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Okay, Yeah, so we've got it's a whole other thing.
My husband insists. Then, in the last night he heard
what was a bone chilling sound, and he has spent
all morning being detective lash looking at all the security
cameras trying to figure out where, and then there was
a lot of fog last night. So now he's like
got these images of like the driveway in different parts

(35:38):
of the property, and he's like, look at this whites
this white fog smokes you guys have a ghost like
it's fog. There's a fog advisory out there. I'm just saying,
I'll let you we'll talk a little bit about that
coming out because it's funny. We got a lot more
on the way. Second Hour Stick with Us and Home
Tidle Lock. Look, your house is your biggest asset, and

(35:58):
in today's world, fortunately with AI and all of the
how digital everything makes it easy, scammers can steal your
home's title and your equity is the target. They'll forge
your signature on a document, they'll use a fake notary stamp,
they'll pay a fee with your accounty, and before you
know it, your home title has been transferred out of

(36:19):
your name. It only takes one forged signature. You're not
even going to know that it happened. There's not going
to be any warning or notification. In fact, the only
time you will be made aware is when you start
getting foreclosure notices, collection calls. Sometimes people even have their
properties sold out right from underneath them, and in order

(36:40):
to stop it or to save yourself or to try
to claim your property back, you have to hire a lawyer,
and it gets super super expensive, real fast. You need
to be proactive and make sure that you have home
title luck. Particularly, you need to get the million dollar
Triple Lock protection, and that means that they're going to
have twenty four to seven monitoring of your title, original

(37:00):
alerts to any changes, and if frauds should happen, they're
going to spend up to a million dollars to fix it.
Now is the time to lock down your title, protect
your most valuable asset before someone else claims it. Use
promo code data at home title lock dot com and
make sure your title first, make sure it's still in
your name, and then you'll get a free title history
report and then a free fourteen day trial of their
million dollar Triple Lock protection. They'll monitor it and they'll

(37:23):
send any kind of urgent alert if they detect anything,
and again spend up to a million dollars to fix it.
Go to home title lock dot com and use promo
code data.

Speaker 10 (37:32):
What's been confusing on this is some people see due
process like as an American citizen, that's a right to
a jury trial, that's all those different things. That's not
true for due process for someone who's not a citizen
in the United States. It's a different process. It's often
just literally what people call it. Immigration judge is not
a typical federal judge or a state judge.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
This is someone that's in the.

Speaker 10 (37:52):
Bureaucracy that their task for DHS is that task on it.
So they're a government employee career that's an immigration judge.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
So it's a very different process for it.

Speaker 10 (38:02):
But yes, there's a need to be able to give
an opportunity for someone to be able to make an
argument before they're removing the country.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
No, that's where I think he's wrong. Sorry, I disagree
with him on this. And I like Langford. He's a
Republican out of Oklahoma, and he's saying, yeah, people come
into the country illegally, should due process is what he's saying.
I'm sorry what And he was talking with us CNN
on that Welcome Back to the program, Dana lash with you.

(38:31):
We're at the top of the second are Yeah, he
says there's a different process but yeah, we got to
have an opportunity to make an argument. No no, no, no, no, no,
no no. You lose that the moment you break the
law by entering illegally. Let's talk about the due process
of American citizens who are robbed of due process by
having this injustice perpetrated upon us to the tune of
billions of dollars a year. Let's talk about that absence

(38:53):
of due process for all of these people who fetishize
illegal immigration and constantly want to kiss the ass of
people who break into the country illegally. That's the due
process is entering the country illegally when you forfeit that,
you forfeit any claim because you're not a citizen or
you have no legal standing here. This kind of accommodation

(39:15):
is for people who have legal standing. When you break
into the country illegally, When you break and enter, you
forfeit that, and then the due process of the people
who are here legally must be respected. And I need
these lawmakers to get this stuff straight. They sit here
and they bend over servicing the people who can't vote

(39:35):
for them legally at the at the expense of the
people who can. I was very disappointed to hear this
answer from Langford incredibly disappointed. I mean, there's a reason
why we have this system, and we have law and order,
and you are you're equal before the law, and you
are equal underneath it. When you violate it, and when
you enter illegally, you are not part of that legal framework.

(40:00):
The end. I'm so tired of everyone thinking that you
can sacrifice the due process of law abiding Americans to
accommodate this criminality. And it's disgusting to see a Republican
from Oklahoma no less, give lip service to this trite nonsense.
Now I have in my digital hands a letter that

(40:24):
pulled us up is apparently now we've got a commitment
to framework in reconciliation. A number of lawmakers have sent
a short letter to Speaker Johnson and Leader Scalise about
a reconciliation bill that goes after certain objectives while extending

(40:45):
the president's tax cuts, growing the economy, securing borders, continuing
unleashing domestic energy production, and emphasizing peace through strength. Although
I will say I wish it was made permanent. I'd
love to see that made permanent. But this, uh, this
is a good step. Now they list in this and

(41:06):
I'll tell you who these lawmakers are here in a moment.
There's only a handful of them. The minimum criteria for
their support, they said, the reconciliation bill must not add
to the deficit. Now, this letter's not yet public. You're
hearing about it first.

Speaker 11 (41:18):
Here.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Under the House's framework, they write, the reconciliation Bill must
not add to the deficit. The House Budget Resolution assumes
that enacting the President's agenda extending those twenty seventeen tax
cuts will generate about two and a half trillion dollars
an additional revenue three economic growth. Now, I know it's
not abolishing the irs, But when you talk to me

(41:41):
about tax cuts, dude, my dudes, what that's how we
become friends? Just like this, See how easy it is
came to be friends with us. We're but simple creatures.
They said that they it has to include. Now, this
is a kicker. They write. This means at the reconciliation

(42:01):
bill must include at least two trillion in savings, either
through spending reductions or scaling back the size of the
tax package if savings fall short. What they're saying is, look,
we got to get these people tax cuts. No one's
going to agree to give them tax cuts if you
don't stop spending, because they're going to try to misrepresent

(42:23):
that as a cost, and they get the deficit reduction
in other committees and the maximum ways and Means instruction.
They said. Bottom line, a two trillion reduction in spending
may sound substantial, However, it only equals two point three
percent of projected federal outlays over the next decade and
only reduces the rate of growth in spending. Even with

(42:45):
these savings, annual spending is expected to grow from seven
trillion to ten trillion over the next ten years, and
debt will exceed fifty trillion by twenty thirty five. They said,
the House reconciliation and Strung auctions are binding. They set
a floor for savings, not a ceiling, and we must
hold the line on fiscal discipline to put the country

(43:06):
back on a sustainable path. This is good. It's signed
by Lloyd Smucker. All these are representatives Andy Biggs, Lauren Bobert,
Josh Josh Breecham, timber Chet, Eric Burlason, Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde,
Elijah Crane, Brandon Gill, Paul Gosar, Andy Harris, Mark Harris
Dinah Harshberger, Clay Higgins, Morgan Latrelle, Rich McCormick, Mary Miller,

(43:32):
Ralph Norman, Jay Obernolt, Andy Ogliss, Robert Hoder, Scott Perry
chip Roy, David Schweiker, Keith Self, Victorious, Sparts, Greg Stuby,
Marlon Stutsman, Tom Tiffany, Beth Van Dyne, and Ryan Zinc. Now,
these are all pretty fiscally conservative lawmakers. And we I
mean Sparts also, if she didn't like it, she would

(43:53):
spit sooner spit on it than sign it. And I
think to get her to get Biggs to sign on
it as well, I think some of these others, I
think that's pretty significant. Vanda, I'm McCormick. So these are
all and chip Roy, these are all pretty fiscally conservative lawmakers.
And this is a really good first step. So what

(44:13):
you're getting insight into is some of these lawmakers they're
they're brawling with some of their other fellow Republicans in
Congress because some of them don't want to don't want
to pass any meaningful cuts. And then to that point,
they're not going to pass any meaningful tax reform. They're
not going to give you any kind of tax relief.
What they're calling for is, look, you've got to reduce
this if you want to help out taxpayers, because we

(44:35):
don't have enough money in the pot to keep spending
the way y'all are spending. They're spending like a bunch
of drunk sorority girls getting ready to go rush at Alabama.
Come on, no offence, ladies, but come on, you can't
be spending like this. You got to cut it back,
you gotta roll it back. So I'm happy to see this,

(44:55):
and we'll see how we're going to see how this
kind of rolls out. But this is so far pretty
significant they're talking about. Look, this is the reduction that
we're going to need in order to accommodate this for
the tax cuts. Now, of course, because this is we're
all going to have to fight over this bill again.

(45:15):
That's why it's an extension and on a permanent cut,
because that's the framework of this reconciliation bill. That's going
to have to be a separate fight. And that's you know, again,
I don't know if that's something that they're going to
actually be able to do. Unfortunately, I mean, right now,
I already see some of the moderate Republicans making excuses.
So they said that this they said the spinning level,

(45:37):
any additional tax cuts or increases in spending has to
be offset. That is a reality. I hate when people
say that tax cuts cost and this is how Democrats
finagle it to pull the wool over everybody's eyes for
that talking point. Tax cuts, this is your money that
the government extorts from you under thread of injury. They
steal your money and then they spend it on a

(45:58):
bunch of stuff that is actually not Under Article and
section eight the enumerated powers, everything that the government can
do that then is relegated to the states that if
it can't. And so the argument always from Democrats is, well,
tax cuts costs. If we give you more of your
money back, that costs us. They act like that's an
expense on their behalf. That's your money, that's an expense

(46:20):
on your behalf, not theirs. The expense that they accrue
is when they don't stop spending. That's the big issue,
the major issue. So I'm very happy to see this.
It's a small number of lawmakers, but they're all fairly
fiscally they're all very fiscally minded, so this is a
very good thing. Now We're going to wait and see
what happens, because they're going on break. When do they leave?

(46:41):
They tomorrow's when break starts. Right, they got four days?
We are you shaking your head like that? They got
talking about?

Speaker 6 (46:48):
Tell us what do they need the time off for?
We have a lot of work to do here. What
is this extra day for. I don't get it. I
don't get why they have to take off and get
a four day weekend here when we have a lot
of important work right here on the cusp of everything.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
The issue is whether or not they can get some
of these other It's not so much Democrats. If Republicans
could keep their caucus together, they could make this happen.

Speaker 6 (47:13):
So are they doing like vote whipping or what are
they doing at this moment?

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Probably, I would imagine. But this isn't committee though, So
this is this So we'll see if this they got
to get it out onto the floor. But there, I mean,
I'm it's a great step in the right direction, and
this would be a major major talking point for Potus
if they can give it to him. Can you imagine

(47:37):
Trump going out there and saying, look, we've come to
an agreement. Now, yes, sidebar is this bill what I
wanted to know, but it's I get it. It's incremental,
step by step by step, even if it's like a
little baby step, but still, you got to have the
optics of a win. If you have Potus go out
there and say, look, we got an agreement about the

(47:57):
the reconciliation. We're we're going to reduce spending by x
amount and that means we're going to be able to
extend these tax cuts for you because we know you're
hurting right now. You're going to get people that are
going to say, oh, okay, we got relief with taxes,
We'll be able to hold on for a little bit more.
With the tariff issue, we'll be able to hold on
a little bit more. What are Democrats going to say?

(48:18):
What is the argument that they would have in the
media to fight to fight this and try to spin
this is something bad. This is a net positive for
the voter. If Republicans in the House can give this
to Potus, I mean hell, he can walk out there
and say, look, we got we got some great savings
for the American people. We're extending these tax cuts. That's
going to help them, It's going to help sustain them.

(48:39):
As we finalize all these trade deals and we start
winding down our strategy if we it, maybe potentially wind
down our strategy of enacting tariffs so that we can
equalize the playing field. And this is going to be
a shot in the arm to Americans who have suffered
under it from from everybody else's bad trade deals and

(49:00):
under the last administration, we're here to help. This is
a This would be a huge talking point for him.
I hope someone in the administration is telling him this
and saying, mister President, you have this group of lawmakers
that are about ready to give you a major talking point.
He could go out and say, Happy Mother's Day. Oh
my gosh, dude, I almost gave myself chills over that.

(49:25):
Can you imagine. I hope that people can put their
petty partisan bitching over the last primary aside, and someone
can get in his ear and be like, potus, this
is a major talking point. We gotta get this done.
Can you imagine whom going out like I have in
my hand this letter framework for reconciliation. We need to

(49:45):
get this done. Republicans, you need to follow the example
of these lawmakers and get this done for our voters.
It's like, you know, I would do it, but I can't.
They'd call me a tyrant. So you got to do
your jobs. I mean, good night, Just push him out
there to say it's someone please, because this would be good.
This would be a great first step. And then you
know what, how the market's going to react to that.

(50:06):
Consumers have a little bit more discretionary spending. You know
how many people we are doing the pay later stuff?
A quarter a quarter of Americans doing the pay later
for things like groceries and all of that, compared to
fourteen percent last year. You know what a boon this
would be for them. Come on, come on, we have
a lot to hit today and you don't want to
miss any of it. And I think we have Senator

(50:28):
Rampaul on later. Is he on with us today? No,
not today, later this week because he's been admired in voting.
So but we do have Matthew Marsden on later. As
we move our partners that will bring you the program.
It's our friends over at All Family Pharmacy. Oh my gosh,
I love these people so much. If you have not
ordered from them, or if you have not signed up
to order from them, you definitely need to remedy. This

(50:49):
here's why. All of the medications that you need, including
the ones that the government try to keep from you,
like ivermectin and hydroxy chloroquin, which are great therapeutics by
the way, and when I caught the rona naturally, they
were incredibly helpful for me. But they have all of those.

Like for me, for instance, when I was hosting for Thanksgiving,
I started getting struck throat. I've had it a million times,
I know exactly what it is, and I'm like, oh
my gosh, what am I going to do? So I

(51:30):
overnighted antibiotics to myself from all family pharmacy and started
my regimen, and literally by noon the next day, I
was fine. I was able to do what I need
to do because I had a ton of family coming
to my house. They saved Thanksgiving for me. I really
have relied on all family pharmacy and I cannot recommend
them enough. Also, everything is made in the USA, all

And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
So the Kentucky Derby winner, Sovereignty is going to miss
the Preakness Stakes, thwarting any potential triple crown bid, and
that takes place in Baltimore on May seventeen. Not gonna run.
Sovereignty is not gonna run. That's like a weird that's
a weird move, right, I mean to not run and
have the chance for triple crown They said that they
were going to decide if the horse is going to
be fit enough to race and Preakness. They're going to

(52:50):
lead that up to the trainer. They said that the
trainers in the Hall of Fame for a good reason.
And they said that, you know, when you have a
pace like sovereignty had, you got to lay off the
body on the line a little bit and they're going
to see, you know, how he was doing. So sounds
like it may be an issue with fitness, Like they're
protecting that horse a little bit, which is smart, you know,
it's just not you know, sometimes the best decisions aren't

(53:11):
necessarily the most comfortable ones. Near death experiences radically change
how people view their careers in today's stupid idiotic headlines.

Speaker 7 (53:19):
Uh duh.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
I would think it would probably extend beyond how people
view their careers right. Tesla sales are plummeting across Europe,
even as the new model Y ramps up. It seems
like these attacks on Tesla are working. This is making
me want to get a Tesla just so I can
hide in my car and if anybody tries to keep it,
come out with the boy club and whoop them on
this sidewalk. I'm not saying I would do that. I'm

(53:42):
not saying I wouldn't either, but they said that they are.
The sales are sliding across Europe because everybody's a poser.
It's a lame and the fetterment attacks are also working.
We told you about this headline yesterday. Fetterman did respond
to it saying that I'm perfectly fine and my doctor
says I'm fine. But the Left isn't going to lay off.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
You know that.

were trying to kill him, remember it. Finally he won
a prize for it, finally because he deserved to best

(54:22):
and I have no problem using lethal force. But you know,
I have friends that don't live in Texas. One of
my really good friends lives in Washington, d C. And
by the nature of their work, they're you know, they're
a big kid. They got to go places where they
have to for their work. They can't always say no
but it's like doesn't matter if you have a license
to carry there gun. Fore zone's abound because of private
property and municipal restrictions. My friend went out and got

the Burna est. Now they want the burn A cl
that's the new one that they have. It arrived just
in time for Mother's Day too. It is the smallest
and most powerful compact launcher that they have. It's only
I mean, it's like smaller. It's like this actually the
same size as my forty three X. It's like almost
maybe seven inches long. Super slim and if you're unfamiliar
with the burn A gun, it shoots chemical irriton projectiles

(55:04):
that can disabled threats from up to sixty feet away.
They have the SD, which is and they have different models,
but I think for the purpose of this for self
defense when you can't carry, I think the CL and
the SD make the most sense. And the CL it
i mean same as the others, can disabled threats with
these chemical iritont projectiles up to fifty feet away. And
it doesn't care about gun free zone signs or there's

(55:26):
no background checks, there's no waiting period. They can send
it right to your door, so it's accessible for everybody.
Do not allow yourself to be rendered defenseless. I mean,
if you can't carry, you need to always It's good
to have a diversified weapons or a you carry knives, right,

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at
the bottom of this second hour, and you can listen
across the country the stream on channel three forty seven.
I always get that wrong, Channel three forty seven Direct
TV x Rumble all that good stuff. So if you're
just joining us, we've been talking about a lot of stuff,
but particularly what's going to happen in Congress. You know,

(56:43):
Trump keeps winning his big beautiful bill. We have some
Republicans that don't want to cut spending, some Republicans who do.
I can't even imagine being in DC right now, especially
if your colleagues are some of those who don't want
to stop spending. So we have this amazing, big, beautiful letter.
It's a commitment to House Framework and reconciliation. We were
just talking about this because there are some members of

(57:05):
Congress who can do math and like to save tax
payer money, and they're warning everyone, look, we have to
have serious and substantial cuts. We have to have these
and this is what we need and hopefully we can
make this happen. Joining me now is one of the
sinees to this letter. Representative Beth Vandyn, congresswoman out of
the republica Texas. It's good to see you, congress Woman.

(57:28):
Thanks so much for joining us. So this, I mean,
this built what you're talking about with this Reconciliation framework,
reduction and spending commitment to extending the tax cuts, which
I think we absolutely have to have right now with
this ongoing Tara for and I mean, I love that
there's so many names on it, but I'm also sad
that apparently there are only that amount of lawmakers in

(57:50):
the House that want to save tax payer money. Tell
me about the strategy on this.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
Oh, Look, what we continuously do since I've been up
here is we have these negotiations. We have these negotiations,
we try to compromise, and then we wait until the
very last minute it falls apart, and we end up
voting for basically a Democrat bill. And I think what
we're the thirty two members who signed on to this
letter are saying, is we're letting you know in advance.

(58:16):
This is something that we have been we have been
championing for last year that we've been talking about, this reconciliation,
this tax bill. We have got to cut spending. We
look at seven trillion dollars that we're spending per year,
five trillion downar dollars that we're collecting in revenue. It
does not balance. And we're not just continuing to add

(58:37):
to the thirty seven trillion dollar debt, we're growing it.
And so even if we can get to a bill
that is deficit neutral, you're still not attacking the debt,
and then we have got to start taking that seriously.
I got elected in twenty twenty during COVID when they
added trillions and trillions of dollars that we were not making,
that we were not generating, on to our debt. And

(58:58):
we're not going back to those pre pree COVID levels
of spending. This package is reconciliation package, the extension of
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Pretty much one hundred
percent of that focus is focused on economic growth, making
sure that we are not having mom and pop small
businesses shut down because they're facing some of the largest
tax increases in our nation's history. Making sure that ninety

(59:21):
percent of working Americans that pay taxes aren't going to
see their taxes increase the largest increase that they've ever
had in their history. As well. We have got to
get this tax built passed. But at the same time,
we can ignore that we are spending so much more
that we're making and putting on this debt to future generations.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
You note in here a two trillion reduction in spending
may sound substantial, but then you put the context with it. However,
it equals only two point three percent of projected federal outlays.
I'm trying to do this math. This is insane and
that's just over the next decade, and it only reduces
the rate of growth in spending. That's how out of
control this is. I mean, that really puts it in

(01:00:01):
stark terms.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Well, when you start thinking about how much we spend,
we talk about the debt, what does the debt mean?
It means that we're actually having to pay to service
the debt every year. We are almost at a trillion
dollars on our debt service, which is more than we
pay for Medicare or on all of our defense put together.
Those are significant dollars that we are spending. Basically, if
you have a credit card, how much you're paying an interest.

(01:00:24):
We're not getting a program for that, We're not getting
a service. This is not going to anything other than
simply our debt service.

Speaker 12 (01:00:30):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
We have got to get control over it. And we
saw it spike during COVID. We're not in a pandemic anymore.
We are seeing the economy grow, we are seeing our
markets grow. That needs to mean something, and we need
to stop spending like and I don't want to offend
you know, navymen by drunk and sales and sales.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
I don't think they're going to be offended. I don't
think they'll We're talking with Congress a woman Bethvan Diane
out of Texas and this framework for reconciliation. I know
that there's a mini break for Congress come up. Is
this something that you all are tackling today or is
this we're the big fights next week.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Look, I've been in meetings. I'm on the Ways and
Metis Committee. We're coming up with this tax bill, and
we have been in hours and hours and hours days
long meetings and we just had one today. We're going
to have another one tomorrow. We have got to give
this tax bill package. This this tax bill done in
a draft put out. We need it sooner rather than
later to give some kind of security to our businesses.
While you mentioned earlier, you know they're going through kind

(01:01:28):
of the shuck and jives of what we're looking at
with tariffs right now. They need some kind of stability
and having a very strong tax bill is one way
in which we can aid them. But at the same time,
we want economic growth. We've got to be able to
do what we can to prevent that from e roading,
which is what we are up against. At the end

(01:01:49):
of this year, you're going to see the tax cuts
and Jobs A provisions expire. That includes things like research
and development expensing, the one ninety nine A pass through,
which for small businesses, it means that they're at the
corporate rate, which is twenty one percent. If we allow
that to expire, it it jacks up to almost forty percent.

(01:02:09):
So you're talking about you know, you know, these mom
and populas, these small businesses, these job creators in all
of our communities. Many of them have come and talked
to us and said that they will be driven out
of business if this is allowed to happen. So it's
within our ability to not let that happen. We've got
a framework, but we also have to stop fighting amongst
ourselves and when there are areas that we can cut

(01:02:30):
that makes sense, such as in medicaid, when we can drop,
you know, make sure that people who are here illegally
are not getting those Medicaid dollars that we need for
other members of our of our population, which means when
we've got people on there who are able bodied, able age,
who could be working instead of living on you know,
living on Medicaid benefits. We have to get them back

(01:02:52):
into the workforce. Those are things that I would hope
not only can Republicans and Democrats both get behind, but
that the entire a Republican conference has to get beloved.

Speaker 4 (01:03:02):
You would think so, and I would assume that you know,
when you talk about the two trillion and cuts are
two trillion in reduction and uh spending? Is this going
to does this include any of the doge stuff because
I know if so far those have only been recommendations
to Congress.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Well, right now, a lot of it, a lot of
the dog be cause a lot of the dose sattings
are stuck in courts right now, and so that's going
to be a while until we find out whether those
those dollars can actually be put into an equation. The
same thing with tariffs. A lot of people want us
to use the tariff revenue as a payoff, but the
pay force have to be legitimate numbers. And the tariffs
right now, it's it's so dynamic, you know whether or

(01:03:38):
not it's it's one hundred and twenty five percent, is
it twenty percent, is it fifty percent? You know, is it?
Are we going to give us sixty day, ninety day,
you know, a pre leave, Why we why we negotiate.
We don't know what those numbers are yet, so we're
trying to be as conservative as possible all but also
as realistic as possible. So we're taking the numbers that
we know. And I'll give you a perfect example, the
and I'm going to call the Inflation Act. I know

(01:04:00):
that the Democrats call it the Inflation Reduction Act, but
we all know what happened to it. But the numbers
that were in the IRA, which is basically a green
new scam bill, had all sorts of tax deductions where
you had the government putting its thumb on the pressure
on the pulse of what was happening, on the scale
of what was happening in the energy sector, and just

(01:04:21):
favoring a ton of green new energy programs that got
us nowhere but were extraordinarily expensive. All Republicans voted against
that bill. But we've got some of us now who
are fighting to get this provision or that provision that
is a huge pay for it. If we could get
all of us on board. Saying it was a terrible
bill at the time, which is why we all voted

(01:04:42):
against it. And we can't sit here and pick and choose, well,
this might be good for this business that's in my district.
We all have to understand the end of the day,
when our spending is such that it is, everybody is
going to have to put a pound of flesh on
the table because we cannot sustain it. And the government
has grown at such a rate that it's quite honestly,
we are out spending our ability to ever be able

(01:05:04):
to pay it off, and it's putting us in really
dangerous territory.

Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
Well and to that point as well, apparently, so there's
I know, some of your more moderate colleagues that are
apparently jousting back and forth over funding for just as
an example, Planned Parenthood and the Reconciliation package. There's a
couple of them apparently. I think it's Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Lawler,
and Jim Kiggins that are some of the ones who've
made it clear to leadership that and this comes from

(01:05:29):
a couple of different sources, that they made it clear
that they oppose a measure to cut federal funding to
Planned Parenthood in the Reconciliation bill. I mean, they've been
getting half a billion dollars annually for I can't even
remember how long. I mean, that's not sustainable. I mean,
are you are you privy to that fight?

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
I am not privty that fight. I know where I
stand in that fight. And the fact that you know
a ninety five percent or more of the services that
Planned Parenthood provides is abortion, and that they spend over
five hundred million dollars a year on marketing, and who
are there supporting our Democrats. I don't know why our
Republican colleagues would want to defend that kind of an animal,
but it has long been a you know, a fight

(01:06:10):
of ours. We're a pro life party. There's a pro
life for a reason. And what we're trying to do
with this this this tax bill is make sure that
we are supporting working American families, you know, whether or
not it's through a child tax credit, whether or not
it's looking at ways of being able to grow the economy,
giving really good, nice high paying jobs, supporting you know,
those those institutions that support families. That's what we're trying

(01:06:31):
to do with a tax package. So I am going
to stay away from from support of Planned Parenthood because
I think it's a technical organization. I think there's a
lot of birthing centers that if we're really interested in
providing for a healthy place for moms to go, we
have those within all of our communities that we can
give to. I know Texas does a great job of
being able to help supply them with the resources that

(01:06:53):
they need to be able to grow and to service
that population. There's a lot better.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Without funding Democrat campaigns. Their last question for you're talking
with the Congresswoman bet Fan Dye from the Republic of Texas,
is this something that that Potus would support, because I
keep thinking he needs a bigger, victorious talking point other
than well we have some trade deals coming, because I think,
you know, people have been waiting this out, waiting to

(01:07:19):
see what happens, but they need something. They need something
because you know, tariff, no matter how people want to
slice it, it is double taxation. And to be able
to give voters a shot in the arm like this,
I would think that the White House would want to
be able to come out. I would love it if
they said, oh, happy Mother's Day, we're extending the tax cuts,
We're going to be reducing spending, We're cutting two trill
I mean that would be amazing to have that. Is

(01:07:41):
that something that you think the administration would support. I
know that they're still kind of you know, forming what
they want and kind of you know, weighing out and
some of the things that they would like to see
in it. But I would love to hear from the
White House on that. Do you think that this was
something that they would embrace?

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
He definitely. Look, this president has definitely send what he
wants to do with a tax bills. He has not
been shy at all, whether or it's two reconciliation bills
are one. He wants one big, beautiful bill to make
sure that we can get it over the finish line.
We're looking at Mother's Day. Mother's Day would be great.
We're looking at a memorial memorial as our deadline to
get this out of the House and hopefully under the
President's desk by July fourth. You know, those the dates

(01:08:20):
that we're working with. So we've got a lot to
do between now and then. But again, it has to
be a bill that the majority we can only afford
to lose three votes. So you brought up three members
who are you know, fighting on on planned parenthood. We've
got another group that's fighting to keep the salt or
to lift the salt cap from places like New York
and California because they are getting you know, their constituents

(01:08:42):
are getting over taxed by their local and state agencies.
But taxas shouldn't have to pay to make up for
these really bad decisions made by Democrats that are elected
in blue states. But the salt cap deduction is one
that we're a fight that we're having, the fight over
the Green new Scam tax cuts. Those are the decisions
that we're having to make right now to put into

(01:09:03):
this bill making sure that we're being fiscally responsible, fiscally conservative,
and being able to move forward. But the White House
has been very clear they want to have a tax
bill and they want to have it sooner rather than later,
which means Memorial Day. Now, can we get everybody on
board when you only have three members, I don't know
that will be that will be left to have and

(01:09:25):
we're going to have I'm on the whip team. I'm
also on the deputy whip team. We're going to have
a lot of conversations one on one with members who
are pretending to be holdouts right now. But the thirty
two members that signed onto this letter. Have been very consistent.
They have had conversations with a White House, They've had
conversations with a president, with Vice President Advance with our leadership.

(01:09:46):
I just want to make sure that we are very clear.
I think that's the purpose of this letter. This is
what our expectation is. We want to be team players.
We are one hundred percent on board. We let this
president administration want to achieve, but we have to do
it if fiscally con manner.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
Yeah, exactly, and we need to get these other people
on board. So it seems like there may need to
be a pressure campaign against these other three lawmakers. If
they don't want to go willingly, then maybe the voters
need to drag them. Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne, appreciate your consistency,
your transparency with everything in your fight for voters in
Texas and everywhere else. Thank you so much. Good to
see you. We'll talk soon.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):

Speaker 6 (01:11:27):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
Florida man with a cardboard license tag, that'll Foolham was
arrested after two pipe bombs and drugs were discovered in
his vehicle. You know, I thought this was America. No, no,
you can't do that. He was pulled over while driving
a car hit a cardboard license plate with the word
private on it. A piece of cardboard with the word
private scrawled onto it affixed his license. Yeah, didn't really

(01:12:00):
that way. His name is Ben Roche. He was taken
to the Walton County Jail charged with making a bomb,
possessing explosives, possessions of controlled substances, tampering with evidence, possession.
Oh my gosh, a ton of charges. There's just a lot.
He's got a lot. But yeah, they said that they
immediately noticed the cardboard plate, and then they said that
he had no identification, but he had a birth certificate

(01:12:20):
that identified him as Benjamin Roach thirty seven. And then
they found meth all kinds of myth, probably going to
distribute it. And then they found they took pictures of it,
basically cylindrical objects with caps PVC with caps on each end,
wrapped with black electrical tape. Yeah, and he said, oh,

(01:12:42):
they got gunpowder in them. And they go, well, do
they have a fuse? And then yes they did, so, Yeah,
they had atf They had to go baffed, they had
to show up, they had to disarm them, and they
have no idea why he had this stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:12:57):
I'm just think paper tag was the least of his way.

Speaker 4 (01:13:00):
Yeah, the paper cardboard license plate, Yeah, it was probably. Yeah,
that's probably the least of his concerns With all of this.
I would say, Oh, I don't this sounds like a
bad news. Bad news. Disney World's announcing a rare adults
only experience at the park. It's called Blanked Em Kids,

(01:13:22):
and uh. The experience will offer guests lavish drinks and
bites in the new lounge at Epcot. It sounds like
hell because it's gonna be sugary and overpriced. Everything's gonna
have way too much syrup in it. It's not gonna
be an actual, like properly mixed.

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
Cocktail, like an entrance fee or something.

Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
This sounds Oh the elevated. I hate the word elevated
for anything. Stop saying it. The Elevated Experience is only
one hundred and seventy nine dollars. It includes theme pock admission.
I would rather chew off my own foot than to
do something, to have an elevator and veriment. Yeah, then

(01:14:04):
to go to a theme park I don't like. I
like theme parks, but I don't. I just want to
go and ride roller coasters and then not do anything
and not experience anything. Elevated. Stick with us third hour next.
We have a lot to hit today and you don't
want to miss any of it. And I think we
have Senator Rampaul on later. Is he on with us today? No,
not today, later this suit because he's been admired and voting.

(01:14:25):
So but we do have Matthew Marsden on later. As
we move our partners that will bring you the program.
It's our friends over at All Family Pharmacy. Oh my gosh,
I love these people so much. If you have not
ordered from them, or if you have not signed up
to order from them, you definitely need to remedy this.
Here's why. All of the medications that you need, including

(01:14:45):
the ones that the government tried to keep from you,
like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin which are great therapeutics by the way,
and when I caught the rona naturally, they were incredibly
helpful for me.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
But they have all of those. They also have your
daily meta occasions. You can get them fast. You go online,
you order it's so easy. You can get it in
like two to four days, or you can get it
overnight in a pinch. If it's like a serious situation
and you need some you need some medicine, like for me,
for instance, when I was hosting for Thanksgiving, I started

(01:15:17):
getting struck throat. I've had it a million times, I
know exactly what it is, and I'm like, oh my gosh,

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
What did you make of those scenes in the Oval
office President Trump and President Zelenski.

Speaker 13 (01:16:24):
I found it sort of beneath America, the way that
took place and the way we talk about now that well,
it's just the Gulf of America. Maybe we're going to
have to take back Panama. Maybe we need to acquire Greenland,

(01:16:48):
Maybe Canada should be if what.

Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
The hell's going on here? What president ever talks like that?

Speaker 13 (01:16:55):
That's not who we are. We're about freedom, democracy, opportunity,
not about confiscation.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
We're about freedom to talk about whatever the hell we
want to. And that is our golf. Sorry, but it
is not apologize Why is he still talking like he's
still I will say no other president is doing what
I mean, even but Obama, who loved the spotlight, didn't
go out and seek out to do these interviews the
way Biden is right. It's methed up. Welcome back to

(01:17:26):
the program, Dane Lash with you or at the top
of the third hour, I'll have a piece coming out
here shortly on substack, chapter and verse the newsletter. If
you're a subscriber, you get my prep in the morning
and you get other other stuff too, but you'll be
able to read this letter for yourself. Go follow through
their math and then see you who signed on. And
then I have included in that the story of the lawmakers.

(01:17:48):
We're talking about this framework for reconciliation. There's a small
number of fiscally conservative lawmakers that are demanding two trillion
dollars in cuts and extension of the Trump twenty seventeen
tax cuts, and three people holding up negotiations. They can
only lose spare three votes. They're holding up any kind
of momentum because they don't want to stop defunding planned

(01:18:08):
parenthood that receives a half a billion tax dollars every
dayn year and then what do they do with your
tax money? They rerouted into Democrat campaigns. So you're being
extorted by your government under thread of death and because
they'll shoot and kill you to death. That's why they
have all the guns the irs and thousands and thousands
of hundreds of thousands around.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Then.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Remember there were a House oversight was sending in some
letters about why does the IRS need all these guns
in AMAO. I mean it's the irs, but under thread
of death, you have to keep paying the government, who
then in turn takes your money and supports abortion on
demand and really Democrat campaigns. So you're funding Democrat campaigns
against your will. Tell me how that that's how? Tell

(01:18:49):
me that that's taxation with representation, because it isn't. We
went to war for less. So there are three lawmakers
who absolutely refuse to stop funding up Mike Lawler, Brian
Fitzpatrick and Jim Kiggins. And I'm going to have their
contact information and X handles and all that fun stuff,
so you can go and tell them to pound sand
digitally politely and call their offices and tell them they

(01:19:12):
better get on board. Otherwise I'll be happy to go
to their districts and help raise money for anybody who
wants to primary them. Yay, all right, I'll pay my
own way. That's right. I asked for nothing, all right.
So a few things. Oh gosh, there's a lot actually
to hit still that we didn't get. I don't know
if you saw this Wokes gold stuff. Can do you

(01:19:35):
have protein? Do you eat protein.

Speaker 6 (01:19:38):
In the form of steak and eggs?

Speaker 4 (01:19:40):
Protein?

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
Chicken? Course?

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
Okay, So apparently protein is right wing. It's probably fascist.
It's literally a piece at Vanity Fair that talks about
how if you eat protein, then it's like, apparently right wing.
Here's the headline, Why are Americans so obsessed with protein?

(01:20:02):
Blame maga? Who's the lady who wrote this? Let me
look at this.

Speaker 6 (01:20:10):
Or the survival mechanism?

Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:20:13):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
This woman, her name is Kezio Weir. How much you
want to bet that she's not fit herself? Oh she's not.

Speaker 11 (01:20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
Anyway, she's a kind of a she's a senior editor
at Vanity Fair and you know, kind of a mind.
I guess it's important for the discussion of protein. Shut up.

Speaker 7 (01:20:35):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
Anybody who's ever wanted to be healthy has always eaten protein,
has always I mean you know that I've had protein
drinks even before Trump was in the White House. They
act like Trump invented protein and it's bad because Trump
invented it. This is so stupid. This is a broad
who no like a woman, not like overseas. This is
a broad who clearly has not paid attention to anything

(01:20:56):
in culture and thinks that history began the day that
she became aware. She literally just now realized that people
consume protein for health. And because she only just now
realized it, she thinks that it's maga related. Oh my gosh,
this is embarrassing and it's in vanity fair. So she

(01:21:17):
starts talking about how people hawk protein powder, and she
gets into protein foods and protein bars. You know that
that's been a big thing for a while. Tell me
that you sit on your fat backside all day. Without
telling me that you sit on your fat back side
all day. I just didn't even know that people were
consuming protein. It's so weird.

Speaker 6 (01:21:36):
But they're taking it for They're saying people are obsessed.
Usually they weren't obsessed with protein. That's like saying someone, well,
you're obsessed with drinking water every day. You're obsessed. It's like, no,
I'm obsessed with survivor.

Speaker 4 (01:21:48):
She literally tries to say, this is a sentence. Are
you ready? I need everybody to hold on to a
table because I'm gonna hit you with the sentence. So
you're ready, home boy, Here it goes. The intertwinement of
masculinity and red meat is strong and deep seated.

Speaker 6 (01:22:07):
Yeah, called the beginning of humanity.

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
To now, I know this is going to be shocking.
Women also like red meat. I pretty much eat just
meat and vegetables pretty much. It's all I eat. I
don't really do a lot of carbs unless it's with pasta,

(01:22:30):
and then I'm really particular about my pasta. If it's
not homemade, then it has to be Italian import because
I don't do all the chemicals and all that stuff.
I think a lot of the gluten sensitivity is actually
chemical sensitivity from all the stupid junk they put on
the stuff that we manufacture here. But the idea that
wanting to eat red meat means you're more masculine again,

(01:22:53):
I'm just insulted that this chick is so culturally illiterate
that she's been unaware of the existence of protein powders
and consuming protein for health and having like a heavy
meat diet that she thinks that that is like a
maga thing, like no one did protein until Trump was

(01:23:19):
in the White House? Are you kidding? I mean, I'm
not exaggerating. She's literally arguing this. This is the actual story.
This is what she's actually arguing. Oh wait, there's more.
Are you ready? Check the sense out that men who
have what they describe as a strong meat eating identity

(01:23:42):
also tend to perceive themselves as more masculine. An obsession
with a protein affords a masculine coated cover on the
feminine coded world of body image and dieting, a subject
over which men can bond Asburro, you kidding me with us?

(01:24:07):
And then she talks about because not only everybody, anybody
ever talks about Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan's done this for forever,
by the way, and I I'm just shocked, like she
has apparently literally never paid attention to any of these
people before until just now. I find that incredibly sexist.

(01:24:27):
Not only is she embarrassingly uneducated and unaware, like I said,
culturally illiterate. These people who think I just not realized this,
so no, it must not have existed until I realized it.

Speaker 7 (01:24:39):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
I find it sexist because it ignores the fact that
women have amazing health advantages from whole foods, diets, healthy
diets where you're getting your protein, you're getting you know,
your roughage, all of that. Like healthy eating. It's just
not even dieting. It's called healthy eating. And I hate
the word dieting. I don't die. I just eat healthy.

(01:25:01):
I eat what I want. But I have trained myself
I eat in between certain hours, so I basically do
intermittent fasting all the every day. I eat during certain hours.
I eat stuff that's going to fuel me because I
have to go, go, go, and I have a very
I'm a very even though I'm a situational extrovert, I'm
a very wound up person. Like I'm all the time,

(01:25:25):
like in a good way, but I have to feel
that I have to have energy. And that's that's not dieting.
That's healthy eating. It's not feminine coated. And the idea,
here's the other absolutely insane thing that she's promoting here,
is that somehow, if a man wants to eat healthy,

(01:25:47):
then he is doing so. He only talks about protein
and eating red meat to as a veneer because he
doesn't want it to look feminine that he's eating. This
is the stupidest thing I've heard. Have you read this piece?
Have you perused it?

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
I have.

Speaker 6 (01:26:06):
Reluctantly because it was Actually I thought it was a
comedy piece.

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
Well, she has like no muscle tone, so I'm not
surprised that she's unfamiliar with any of this stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:26:14):
I thought it was. I though it was comedy pairs.

Speaker 4 (01:26:15):
I went and looked at pictures of her.

Speaker 6 (01:26:17):
What I thought it was comedy parody.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
I thought she was just I literally did too.

Speaker 6 (01:26:20):
Yeah, That's how I thought it was at first, and
then when you get about halfway through, you're like, oh, geez,
she's serious.

Speaker 4 (01:26:26):
This is how pathetic the left is. They will they
will literally kill themselves with bad cholesterol and greasy foods
because eating healthy is trumpion. No, we're not gonna eat healthy.
We're gonna we're gonna smoke crack. That's basically what they're saying.

Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
I mean, the article would actually made more sense if
instead of she said maga, she would have said maha.
If she said maha, then I would be like, Okay,
I guess make America healthy again. You're against that but
it's like you're trying to attribute this to a political movement.
This is so ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
I've always eaten healthy. I don't work out as much
as they did. But there for a while, I was
we were and you know this, we were in the
gym six days a week. I'm not sometimes seven six
days a week, and I did kickboxing three days a week. Oh,
we were like hardcore. It got to the point where
I didn't want to look like Madonna, and I was like, mmm,
I started getting a little bit too muscly, and I
didn't like that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
For me.

Speaker 4 (01:27:15):
It's total I mean, it's totally fine if other you know,
but I'm like, I wanted to maintain a thirtain level.
I wanted to maintain a certain fat percentage, and I
have a crazy high metabolism, crazy high, and I could
look like, you know, real what am I thinking of
vascular or real quick? And I didn't want to do that,
so I got to I got to be very careful
about that. So I started pulling back. But she acts like,

(01:27:37):
if you're going to the gym and working out like
even moderately, that that's like a maga thing. If you're
eating protein, that's a maga thing. If you're talking about
protein drinks, that's maybe stop being a bigot. And again,
like I went and looked at pictures, she has no
muscle tone, so I have I you know, she doesn't
follow the stuff. She doesn't follow you know, uh, healthy
eating and working out, and she doesn't. This is not

(01:28:00):
her beat. She's just a political bigot and she wants
to cast dispersions on the character by using stereo unedged
like this uneducated stereotype as a way to do So
can you imagine, like you can if you're just a
moron about everything, you can fabricate yourself a little straw
ma in for whatever issue you'd like. Good heavens. Yeah,

(01:28:22):
I just and and it's a gender thing and a
maga thing. This woman would fall over. I mean eat,
I eat protein, I have protein, I have protein drinks,
have protein powders. I do all that stuff. Like it's
just about being healthy. I want to just be healthy
and have energy, that's what it's about, you know. And
have muscle tone. That's that's my whole thing. I want
strength and I want muscle tone. That's it. So she

(01:28:48):
just that's just so stupid of all the things to politicize.
Why would you politicize health. That's how the left is.
They're like, we want to be healthy and all have
strokes and heart attacks because daw not doing that is magh.
They will literally kill themselves to not have common ground
on anything. I've These people are nuts. We have a

headline that they ordered over seventy thousand suckers. That's doing
a lot You said that that's doing a lot of work.

Speaker 6 (01:30:50):
Yeah, the word accidentally.

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
The mom said that Amazon called and they are refunding
the money, and yeah, he ordered seventy thousand dumb, dumb suckers.
Lexington Lexington Kentucky and he was playing on her phone
this weekend. She tried to stop the order before it
came to her house, but it was too late. Her

(01:31:12):
son said, my suckers are here now. He has some
developmental delays, so she said his condition affects his decision making,
so he wanted to run a carnival. And so the
cases had two three hundred and forty suckers inside the
retail for one hundred thirty dollars each. On Amazon, eight
of the thirty cases were unaccounted for. Oh my gosh,

(01:31:34):
that look at your face. Yes, Kane, I'll just say that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:40):
I don't think it was a disability or anything that
led to this. I think the kid wanted a bunch
of suckers. I think that's what it is.

Speaker 4 (01:31:46):
He he just wanted a Pepsi. Man, you know, the
kid just all he wanted was a Pepsi. It's all
he wanted. I'm gonna pull up the other one. But

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lashatia. We're at the
bottom of this third hour, and that conclave has started
to shut the doors to the sixteen chapel and it
is underway. We had a little bit of tough technical difficulty,
so I don't think we're going to be able to
have Matthew Marsden join us because we weren't able to
get him in and all of that, and there's no audio,

(01:33:58):
so it's not going to work out, unfortunately, But uh
we are. We're they started. I don't think what I
had heard from folks is that it's supposed to be
like the first round of balloting isn't really supposed to Uh,
you're not really supposed to see any results from that

(01:34:19):
until like, uh really like now or in the next hour.
And that is if everything, you know, went pretty expeditiously.
So I don't know. I mean, you got the black
smoke if there is no pope chosen, the white smoke
if there is a pope chosen. And there are some
that a lot of people are pulling forward that are

(01:34:41):
a little bit more conservative, and you know that it
will so we'll see as we as we roll through.
I don't think that they would ever decide it like
that fast though. I don't think that they would ever
kick it off that that quickly. We're the first round
of voting, you're gonna have somebody, uh but uh, it's
you're They're in the Sistine Chapel, I mean, the most
beautiful place I can think of to work and have
a meet. I don't even know how people could be

(01:35:01):
focused on having a meeting with that. So we have
a couple of other things to touch on as well.
I wanted to play audio sound Bye eighteen because this
is Congressman Steve Scalies. I don't know if you saw this,
but the FBI apparently was classifying that twenty seventeen attempted
assassination of him as suicide by cop. Listened to this

(01:35:24):
and he was almost killed from this audio some id
at eighteen.

Speaker 12 (01:35:30):
So if you go back to twenty seventeen, after the
baseball shooting, the FBI had brought in the members of
the team.

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
Roger Williams was one of those members.

Speaker 12 (01:35:39):
Who was part of that briefing, and at that meeting
they went through some of the information, some of it
was classified, some of it wasn't, but they ultimately let
us know what their conclusion was, and that's when they
said it was classified as suicide by cop. And I'll
tell you I was offended. I think all of us

(01:36:01):
there were highly offended that that was the conclusion that
the FBI in twenty seventeen came to, because it wasn't
what happened.

Speaker 4 (01:36:10):
That's insane. And this is criticism of the FBI over
the investigation into that attempted assassination. It's from a report
from the House Intelligence Committee, and they incorporated these records
that were released by cash Ptel. Now the director of
the FBI, and they accused the bureau the quote is

(01:36:30):
acting with a complete disregard and lack of investigative integrity. Now,
back in November of twenty seventeen, the FBI had brief
lawmakers who were present for who were there when this
attempt at assassination happened, and they determined that it was
not a politically motivated act of terrorism. It was suicide
by cop. Let's full stop. First of all, the guy,

(01:36:53):
I'm not naming the guy, the sixty six year old
nut adding think he's a nut job. He's just evil.
This evil almost murdered sixty six year old. He was
killed by Capitol police. They were having the congressional baseball game.
Remember this, let's set the stage. You had members of
Congress there, House Republicans. He was a volunteer with Bernie
Sanders' campaign. He was super far left wing, talked about

(01:37:15):
left wing stuff all the time online. He literally had
a list with him of grievances and lawmakers that he
was targeting and they it included healthcare. He was livid
over healthcare. Now, remember what was happening at that time
in twenty seventeen, there was a lot of discussion about potentially.

Speaker 3 (01:37:37):
Or not.

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
Twenty seventeen when it happened, there was a lot of
discussion about the healthcare, repealing Obamacare, all of this stuff,
and the language that the left loved to use was
what it was always that, Oh, Republicans are trying to

(01:37:58):
kill people. They're trying they're going to kill people, They're
going to rob them of their healthcare, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 13 (01:38:05):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:38:05):
And that's like that was that was the the tenor
of the language at that time. And I mean that's
when people were saying, you got to kind of watch
your rhetoric a little bit. You have to watch your
rhetoric some at least. But this, I mean the fact
that this was the way that it was investigated, and

(01:38:26):
they said, oh, well this was you know, this was
suicide by cop. This guy, like I said, had a list.
He had a list of grievances. He was mad over healthcare,
he was mad over a lot of the Republican decision
making in Congress, and he brought it he like made
a big plan about it. He I mean, this was

(01:38:46):
all very methodically thought out. And he drove his van,
he stationed it outside the field for weeks weeks, remember that,
and he pulled out two firearms began shooting at the
congressional Republicans. He almost he narrowly missed Trent Kelly, who
was from Mississippi. He hit Scalise in the hip. He

(01:39:09):
almost bled to death on the field. He had multiple surgeries.
He was in the hospital for weeks before he was
able to return to Congress. And a lot of lawmakers
were injured because they were fleeing. There was a lobbyist
that was practicing with the team. He was shot in
the chest and he was seriously wounded. Two Capitol police
officers were wounded as well. By the way, they were

(01:39:29):
part of Steve Scalie's security detail, because none of these
people can carry there. They couldn't carry there. Steve Scalie
had a security team because he has House seniority, so
he's part of House leadership. If he had not had
security detail there, there would have been a number of
Congressional lawmakers killed. Those armed security members did so much

(01:39:50):
to buy some time for some of these other lawmakers.
It's unbelievable and the promotion of this as suicide by
cop is insane. It was not suicide by cop. This
was and to say that it wasn't it didn't involve

(01:40:12):
any kind of political ideology. Well, that's a lie proven
by the grievance letter that this murderer attempted murderer brought
to the field with him in his van. I guess people,
you know, they didn't they didn't consider that. They're kind
of like brushing that under the rug. He had tons
of social media posts all about this. He didn't threaten

(01:40:35):
specifically lawmakers, but you know then he had he didn't
have to, but he had had cided healthcare and this idea.
I mean, he sent letters to the editor different newspapers.
He was like very he I mean, he was like
your typical honestly, your typical left wing lawmaker who is

(01:40:58):
nuts and an open fire on this, on the on
the UH Congression, at this congressional game. So so say
it was suicide by cop is excusing this. It's excusing it.
And what's more, it like diminishes the severity of what happened.
It diminishes the severity of it. And so you know,

(01:41:21):
I'm not if I was scleazed, I'd be pissed because
they're downplaying the fact that this guy was almost assassinated
for political reasons, and they're trying to excuse it and say, no, no, no,
it wasn't political reasons. No, he just wanted to be
killed by a cop. No, he didn't. He actually thought
he was gonna get away. I think that I think
that I don't want to say his name, but I
think that this murderer was anticipating that he was going

(01:41:43):
to be able to get away. And that's why does
Vanny had all of this all meticulously planned out, meticulously
planned out. And yeah, he had lists of lawmakers' names
on a list that he had in his pocket. He
decided health care, seted a whole bunch of other things.
But this is it seems like the press found a

(01:42:05):
gunman that they liked. Imagine that they're making excuses for
this guy because he was a left wing guy trying
to kill Republican lawmakers. The left was not apoplectic over
this at all. In fact, now they and their rogue
bureaucrats that are embedded in these agencies are making excuses
for it. They're making excuses for it. So this is

(01:42:27):
you know, it's it's insane, This is crazy. And I
feel bad for Scalise because I just really don't feel
like he got the support that he needed at this time.
I mean, I I don't. I guess I don't know
what the hell is happening with the show right now.
So we're like in the bottom of this hour. How

(01:42:48):
much time we have left? We have like two minutes
left in the second Okay, so do we did? Do
we have his audio working?

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
All?

Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:42:56):
We got Matthew Marsen on who's joining us?

Speaker 7 (01:42:58):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:42:59):
And first off, good to see you, my friend. Everybody
knows Matthew mars and he was in all different he
were in a million different films all around Hollywood. You
were in Rambo, you were in everything. You fought aliens,
you fought baddies, you fought commies.

Speaker 1 (01:43:13):
Good to see you.

Speaker 4 (01:43:14):
So let me ask you about this, because the conclaves started,
I can't even imagine having to do my job in
Assistine Chapel. First off, can we just establish this. I'd
be so distracted. I would be the worst. You know,
if I were a cardinal, I'd be the worst cardinal
ever because I would be looking at all of the
amazingness inside the assisting chapel. I mean, we've been to
the Vatican. It's beautiful there. So so my first question,

(01:43:35):
I have like three questions. I want to get right out.
Has it ever happened that they've immediately gone in and
they're like, oh, yes, we know who our pope is
going to be and boom, first round it's white smoke.

Speaker 11 (01:43:46):
Yeah, they've done it in one day once before. Yeah,
who yeah, yeah, they've done it. I think it was
like nineteen thirty nine. He was three ballots and they
got it. They got it in one day.

Speaker 4 (01:43:58):
Oh, so they were all pretty certain about that because
there is like a political not like political in the
sense of like our political system, but there is kind
of a political sense to it where they lobby. They
got a lobby for certain cardinals.

Speaker 11 (01:44:11):
Right, well, no, they're actually not allowed to lobby. They're
not allowed to lobby, but what they can do is
they can discuss them. So in between each ballot they
have a discussion about it. So they'll say, hey, well,
you know, isn't there time for like say an African
pope or you know, maybe you want the papsy to
come back to Italy. But they're expressly held not to lobby.

(01:44:37):
In fact, it's my belief. You know, you're listeners can
correct me if I'm wrong. But Pop John Paul the
second actually said if you lobby, then you can be excommunicated.

Speaker 4 (01:44:48):
Wow, so they're really hardcore about this. That's all right.
So the reason that I wanted to talk to you
because everybody knows, you know, obviously Matthew went from Hollywood
now Texas. He's in black Hawk down all this good stuff,
Catholic family man. He has eleventy thousand children, so he's
a great upstaining Catholic. They're all beautiful children. They all
look like they're clones of him and his wife. There

(01:45:10):
is and maybe you've seen this with your own kids,
but you know you've raised them in the church. I
read this piece where a significant number of gen Zers
are turning to Christianity, and a specific number, like a
huge percentage of them are they're joining the Catholic Church.
And this is such a departure from millennials, who I

(01:45:31):
think we're I don't even think agnostic is the right
way to describe. Like a lot of millennials and gen
xers are kind of apathetic, you know, we just distrust everybody.
What do you attribute that to? And the dovetail part
of this question because gen z is so conservative? Is
that something that the Catholic Church has to take into
consideration when they're choosing the next pope, because I know

(01:45:55):
it's like world youth, something that's also happening simultaneously in Rome.
And then you had the new Saint who was like
the first teenage saint who's been going through that process.
I know, I think he's from a CC and he's
like the digital, the digital Saint. He's all of these,
all of the youth are descending right now on Roun,

(01:46:16):
They're all there at the Vatican. How does that is
that going to factor into maybe the level of conservatism
that is going to be present in the next pope selected?
Do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:46:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:46:28):
I don't. I don't think so.

Speaker 11 (01:46:30):
I mean i'd like it too, of course, you know,
because of course I'm on the more conservative side.

Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
But slightly, just a little bit.

Speaker 11 (01:46:40):
But no, I don't think it will. But I do
think that, Look, be careful what you wish for, right
You always say that you get the pope that you deserve.
And I think that Pope Frands is my own personal opinion,
was he was very very confusing. You know, I remember
me and you and me and Chris like you guys
calling me up and saying like why does he say?

Speaker 4 (01:46:59):
I'm like hey, as Matthew, We're like what does this mean?

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
What is this?

Speaker 4 (01:47:04):
Go to h And I'm like, I.

Speaker 11 (01:47:06):
Don't know, but but there, like I said, be careful
what you wish for, because we've got we've gone so left.
We wed with the leftist policies and all these things
that you think are ideal, you know, they put them
out as ideals through Biden, they came true. And I
think that they've been wholly rejected by the youth because

(01:47:26):
they're like, hey, listen, certainly for like young men, I
don't want to be with a woman that's been with
fifty sixty men.

Speaker 1 (01:47:32):
I don't want that.

Speaker 11 (01:47:33):
I want I want to return more to more traditional values.
Women are now going hang on a second, this, this
third wave feminism has destroyed the family unit. People aren't
happy anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
Why would I want to do that?

Speaker 11 (01:47:45):
I want to be a housewife. There's it's it's almost
like like, well, we've said this sovereign other and I
know you, Danny. You come from that punk rock you
and Chris come from that golf punk rock background. We
are the counterculture now, and so the youth are going
and I'm on a second, the conservative ideals are resonating.

Speaker 1 (01:48:06):
With them more and more and more.

Speaker 11 (01:48:07):
By the way, forgive me, I'm holding my camera, so
my apologies for that, but I think that's resonating more
and more with the youth. And what they're going to
as well is tradition, and the Catholic Church obviously has
a tradition of truth and beauty. So as you said,
I remember when you guys came back from it in
and you were like, Wow, the Vatican is so beautiful.

(01:48:29):
And this, so I tell people, is when people go
on about the Catholic Church and the wealth that it
has and the art that it has, I said, that's yours.
The Catholic Church is keeping it for everybody to remind
us of the beauty of humanity. So I think that
that tradition, gone back to traditional values is resonating. And

(01:48:50):
listen it wouldn't it be amazing when you're seeing what's
happening in Italy right now with the conservative prime minister,
what you're seeing in Hungary, what you're seeing over here
in America is there's there's this kind of cultural revolution
going on. And I think that having a really strong
conservative pope would be amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:49:10):
I mean, not to rupt, but wasn't Pop John Paul
like a great like partner with Reagan, Like I think Reagan,
Thatcher and Pope defeating communism. I mean that was like
the trifecta, and I think people are kind of looking
for that again.

Speaker 11 (01:49:23):
Yeah, I mean when we were growing up, I always
remember you, I mean think about you, add Reagan, Thatcher, Pope, Jumpaul,
Mother Teresa, and these great leaders in the world that
were not only political leaders, but there were moral leaders.
And we had clarity, and I think under Francis there
wasn't clarity with the conservative cardinals that are out there

(01:49:44):
right now. They are scholars in canon law, they're very,
very very intelligent and and listen, everyone thought after after
Pope John Paul, we would get a very very liberal pope,
and we actually got a more concern Benedict.

Speaker 4 (01:50:02):
Yes, he's conservative. Last quick question, who knows Cardinal Sarah
or Pizza Bala?

Speaker 6 (01:50:09):
Oh Sarah?

Speaker 4 (01:50:10):
Really you have a chance?

Speaker 13 (01:50:11):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
Oh yeah, all right, we got we have to run. Matthew.
We'd love to have you back though as this progresses,
because the conclave is going to keep going. It just
started today, so we'll see. I don't think they're going
to decide it today. I don't. It's good to see you,
my friend, but let's get you back, all right. We'll

conclave that you got to hear tomorrow.
