Speaker 1 (00:00):
We consider America our big sibling.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
So it's important for Ireland to have a you know,
be a peaceful, happy, prosperous country, for the forty million
Irish Americans to have a place to visit, to come
back to their home. So we wish for our relationship
with the United States to continue, and we wish, we
wish to be taken care of by the big bro.
You know, the United States should look after it. It's

(00:23):
a little brow and that's how we feel a lot.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know, there's some traders US an EU and I.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
We wish exam say, hey, weally have I will.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Say Connor is here to meet with the President. He'll
be meeting with him later this afternoon. We couldn't think
of a better guest to have with us on Saint
Patrick's Day.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
We're both wearing our green.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
This was not planned, but very festive and as you know,
I'll be having a brief thing later at one o'clock,
so we'll talk more about their meeting later. But he's
going over to meet with some other administration officials. He's
spending the day in Washington, DC.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Sure, I'm here to raise the issues to people of
Ireland face, you know, and it will be music to
the people of Ireland's ears because never on the main
stage has the issues to people of ireland face been spoke.
You know, our government has long since abandoned the voices
of the people of Ireland and it's high time that
America is made aware of what is going on in Ireland.
What's going to run in Ireland is a travesty. Our

(01:19):
government is the government of zero action with zero accountability.
You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues
that has nothing to do with the Irish people. The
illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country. There
are rural towns in Ireland that have been over running
one sloop that have become all minority in one swoop.

(01:39):
So issues natively addressed, and the forty million Irish Americans,
as I said, need to hear this because if not,
there will be no place to come home and visit.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Sounds very familiar, doesn't it. I was listening to this
and as you know, the h it's Patty's Day today,
Patrick's day not with teas either, by the way, uh
No THATU sell nottt It's our our culture, isn't your costume?
Just put your green beer down, you woke scolds. You

(02:10):
don't get any today. I'm gonna be the enforcer, the
gatekeeper because I come by it honest and like you posers.
Doesn't that make it makes a lot of sense, right,
So you're like, that's no fun though, no, no, no,
they do it to us. They do it to us,
so our our culture isn't your costume.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
I was, so how about that? There you go.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well, we're gonna run with that today for this joy
of Saint Patty's. It brings me joy to do that.
It brings me joy to gatekeep, So don't think otherwise. Uh,
welcome to the program, Dana Lash with you. We are
at the top of this first hour Monday. I've got
a I'm gonna try to get through most of every
because a lot of stuff happened. Obviously, we've got everything

(02:53):
with the Houthis. We've got trended Aragua, We've got democrat,
I've got polling democrats losing their minds. We've got trans
trans trans and then we got a packed show today
because we got the Florida AG.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
They're restrictions.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
He is fighting the gun control James Oltmeyer's uth myyer's
fighting the gun control in Florida.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
We're going to talk to him.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Then later on Steven Yates is going to join us.
Lots of stuff to dive in with him. So first
and foremost, Happy Saint Patty's Day. I'm not in green
because I love the color. Sometimes it works with me,
sometimes not. And also everything I own is black, so
I'm green in my heart today.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
There you go. How about that?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
So Happy Saint Patty's Day to everybody out there who
actually does you know again, our culture is not your costume.
So this uh Connor McGregor. A lot of people are
speculating he's going to run for office in Ireland. I
don't like Republic Ireland or Northern Ireland difference. I mean
because it's like there, Republic Ireland is having some some immigration.

(03:54):
Everybody's having immigration issues where they haven't decided to take
responsibility for their borders. Right, think about this. I was
I was looking at some of the requirements for different
countries as it relates to immigration. And we've talked about
this quite a bit before and the like, for like

(04:17):
in the United States. You know, it seems when you
compare the United States as restrictions to the regulations, requirements
and restrictions elsewhere.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Honestly, it seems.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Super easy, ridiculously easy, very easy, And I mean it
just kind of shocks me that if we tried to
do here in the United States just an ounce of
what other countries have already implemented, then we get the
protests and people in the streets, and it's, you know,

(04:50):
apparently we hate everything. They con flate legal immigration with
illegal immigration, riots, not gnashing of teeth, the whole thing.
So I was looking at some of these other countries,
like and I'm going to talk about Ireland's coming up
in a minute. In Italy, for example, they have a
restriction on what type of car you can purchase when

(05:11):
even after you get citizenship you can only get a
car with so much horsepower in Italy. And this is
even after you become a citizen and you're on this
I don't know what it is, like this probationary period
for like three years before you can actually get like

(05:32):
a nice like you can't just move in your first
year being a citizen in Italy, gone by a ferrari
and that's your car, not gonna happen. There's a lot
of restrictions over there, you I mean, for instance, getting
your driver's license over here in the United States, Kane.
Can you imagine if they tried doing that here in
the United States.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
What if someone was.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Immigrating to the United States and they're like, no, you
can only buy a little wimpy car.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
Sorry, wait, that didn't sound like freedom.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Can I be real?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
I don't I know cars enough to know what I
like and when something sounds bad, okay, Like I like
them fast, I like them heavy, and I like them loud.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I do like my car loud. Caine can attest to this.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
You When I drive my car, it's loud, obnoxious, and
that's the way I like it.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Because this is America.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
You even downshift just to make it louder.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
Whatever I can do to make it go one louder
is exactly what I'm gonna do. My car goes to twelve.
So but I couldn't do that if I were if
I were to immigrate. Like again, I'm using Italy as
an example because I found the car thing ridiculous. I
could not go over there and have like a loud,
fast car that you're on this You're on this like

(06:43):
weird probationary period. It's bizarre and in Ireland, there's all
kinds of oh my gosh, there's all kinds of restrictions
on getting your getting a vehicle and uh, you know,
I mean if you're a student over there. We've talked
about some of that before. They're very strict. They're like
they check in on you regularly. Are you are you

(07:03):
doing what you say you're doing. I can't do a
great accent that short notice, but you get what I'm saying.
But in the United States, people would riot and they
would act like it's a right. Now, let me ask this,
what do you What would it be like if I
were to.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Go, like, say, you know, I wanted to go to
Ireland and I wanted.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
To extend my stay and then I'm like, no, but
it's a right.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
What do you think they would say to me?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
They would literally like take one of their sales and
walp me on the head with it.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Is what they would do. What that's That's what would
happen if I if I.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Were in Italy and I tried screaming about it's my
right own a muscle car, they would laugh in my
face and say chow and I'm out.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
They don't care.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
They don't care about that only in the United States
does this work?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Why why?

Speaker 5 (07:53):
I mean not that they're having problems of a whole
different sort, but in here it's like the campaign of
aim to try to shame people into this. It's it's
fascinating to me. So we have a potus. He is hosting,
He's hosting Connor McGregor. He's been busy.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
He we're gonna get into the autopen fight again. A
million things to discuss. We're gonna get into the autopen
fight now. In addition to this, he has also Uh,
I wanted to touch on Sorry, I'm looking at my
my audio SoundBite? Can I can I have audio SoundBite five?

(08:36):
Because you know how Trump likes talking with the press.
This was actually funny the way he played this off.
He got hit by a reporter, The way he played
this off, I thought was funny.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Watch this. I'm a John, mister president, John player.

Speaker 6 (08:53):
You're concerned about the situation in Gassa.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Just what are the hopes now to get the hot around.
She just became a big story.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
That right, that's her.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Did you see that?

Speaker 5 (09:07):
He's like, she just became a big story. That was
the nicest I've ever seen him be with the press.
I mean, you know, like he could have been like
you were at bad start, you know, but he didn't.
But I loved the look. The look was good. I
I think that the press likes everything that's happening. They
want to hate it, but guys, you know, they like
it because he is a ratings bonanza for them. He

(09:32):
is an absolute ratings bonanza. And they love that. They
love the ratings of it, they love the attention of
They get mad when you say it. So he's putting
both of these together. They didn't quite know what to
make of what happened overnight the other day. They deported
So the administration deported hundreds. Now here's how the AP

(09:53):
puts it. And I'm I get so mad at these headlines.
Trump administration deports hundreds of immigrants, even as a judge
orders removals be stopped. What does that sound like to you?
He's just picking up Nana's and Tito's and everybody and
just sending them all over the border. He's just kicking
everybody out, all these poor people. They probably came here

(10:14):
legally and all that too, right. I mean, the article
doesn't differentiate, so can you know that's probably the case.
These are probably like innocent people who did nothing except
for they entered illegally. That's what they're missing from this
whole thing. I'm so aggravated by this. I'm so done
with it. They get so they constantly so this was

(10:37):
the headline. So he sends back and this was great
in the dead of night. The orchestration on this was
so nice. And then you have all of this drone footage.
There's drone footage of three planefolds of Trendarragua and MS
thirteen thugs and they were sent I like how Senator
Eric Schmidt put it to the beautiful prisons of La

(11:00):
Salvador Caane. This is some of the video that Wan's
showing you. Now, this is how El Salvador greeted them.
They were running around the streets unfettered in the us
of A. When you send them to El Salvador, Look
what happens. They're not even playing around. They're like, nope,
get them, get them. Look at him, he's like too

(11:20):
dangerous to walk by himself.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Look, they're all kid it out. They're ready to rock
and roll. FAFO.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Come on, you know they're begging for it. This is
how El Salvador greeted them. Now that's some red carpet
treatment right there, Caane, this is how they greeted them.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Look at them.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
I'll have a camel carpet treatment right.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Look at him.

Speaker 8 (11:39):
Look at it.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
You kid it there?

Speaker 5 (11:40):
No, you cannot You're not even free to walk down
the stairs yourself. Let's go all of these in the
dead of night. And also with El Salvador's leadership that
worked with the United States on that, that's the kind
of relationship that we need to have, by the way,
with other countries, we need to have this type of
relationship with them where we can say, hey, can you

(12:01):
repatriate your thugs that illegally immigrated into our country. So
two planefuls while you slept, you didn't even know what's happening,
and then all of a sudden they're there in El Salvador.
This was I thought this was brilliant, and I love
that they're getting all of this footage of it. So

(12:23):
it was over two hundred and fifty of them, and
they're going to be held in the notorious prison and
it's a mega prison, and a federal judge is railing.
The administration had a response to that, which we're going
to touch on here momentarily. We've got headlines for you
and really quick just to let you know the rundown again,
we're getting into all of this overnight gift that trend

(12:45):
to Iraq with the Wothis. We're going to discuss the
president and his post about the Houthis and then all
of a sudden, now there's a bigger argument on the
right and I'm going to jump off my roof. We
got the latest with Democrats. Because Democrats their civil war,
the media finally has to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
We're going to discuss all of that.

Speaker 5 (13:01):

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Today and now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
At least thirty nine fatalities after tornadoes, wildfires, and dust
storms wreaked havoc across multiple US states.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Just terrifying stuff.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
There were tornadoes that hit our home state of Missouri,
destroyed a lot of where I went to school in Arnold, Missouri,
and all throughout Jefferson County. There was also a lot
of destruction in Maryland Heights, Tylertown, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, I
mean a lot of destruction. They said that most of
the weekend tornado watches and they I mean the National

(15:03):
Weather Service had mostly expired, but dangerous winds were still
possible in the Carolinas, East Georgia and northern Florida as well.
So keeping an eye on all of that. In Texas,
the crab Apple Fire, you guys heard about this crazy
wildfire near Austin. It's in Gillespie County, Texas, affected approximately
nine five hundred acres, is only forty percent contained. The

(15:25):
increase in reported acreage they're saying it's due to more
accurate mapping. It's not because the fire is growing, but
they've got multiple agencies working on that eight six and
forty acre fire. It's crazy, so everybody stays safe. People
are seasoning and eating packing peanuts because well, this is why.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Aliens don't visit us. This is a new thing.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Apparently that's I don't know why, but there there's a
company that claims to use edible packing peanuts. They're not
real peanuts, but apparently it's vegetables. It sounds highly processed
and disgusting. And then there are apparently some people are
thinking that all of them are like them, so they're
not just eating.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
The vegetable based Yeah, that's there.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Actually was a I can't Bible sales have soared amongst
gen Z eighty seven percent within five years. There is
a newfound spirituality amongst gen Z, according to new studies,
a lot of it. They said down to those born

Speaker 10 (18:13):
Well, those strikes were a retaliation strike, so they launched
one missile, we hit the missile launcher, or we sent
something to do. This is not a message, This is
not a one off. This is an effort to deny
them the ability to continue to constrict and control shipping.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
And this is not going to happen.

Speaker 10 (18:29):
We're not going to have these guys, these people with weapons,
able to tell us where our ships can go, where
the ships of all the world can go. By the way,
it's not just the US we're doing the world of favor.
We're doing the entire world of favor by getting rid
of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping.
That's the mission here and it will continue until that's
carried out. That never happened before. The Biden administration didn't
do that. All the Biden administration would do is they

(18:51):
would respond to an attack. These guys would launch one rocket,
we'd hit the rocket launcher.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
So that is the Secretary of State, Mark or Rubio,
which I have to say, I I like him better
as Secretary of State than I did as Senator. I
do He's this is the role that he was made
for because he is a diplomat and have I think

(19:16):
having I'm gonna get to what he was talking about here,
but I just my initial observation of him, watching him
handle all of this stuff. He's a diplomat, and sometimes
the art of diplomacy is sometimes viewed, and I get
it in Congress as being a weakness because you don't

(19:36):
want to work with the other side, right, you don't
want to get too tribal, you don't want to work
with the other side. But this is an asset if
you're secretary of State. He's been a diplomat, but he
has not given one inch of ground, and he's he's
got the ability to be nice. And then what I
call stern dad energy.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
You guys know what that.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
You guys know that stern Dad or stern Grandpa energy
where they don't have to yell at you, erase your voice,
raise their voice at you. It is just the look
and the lowered voice, and you're like, oh my gosh,
like alarm bells go off in your head and you know,
batten down the hatches. He's got that energy. So I

(20:17):
think this is he's getting results. He is absolutely getting results,
and he is affecting the administration's agenda. I mean the
speed with which he's doing it and his ability to
do it as a good diplomat. This is the difference
between somebody who's a good diplomat and a bad diplomat

(20:39):
in this position, like Hillary Clinton gave up everything.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Marco Ruby is like nah. Of course.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Obviously a lot of this is underpinned by strong foreign policy,
so that's incredibly important. So the who thies if you're
I mean, I think of most everybody, most all of
you know, just you know, for the fact sheet, they
are an Iranian bag they're basically Iranian. It's like a
it's an arm of Iran, of Iran's government, and they're

(21:07):
a little terrorist group in Yemen and they act like
the gatekeepers of the waterways there in the Red Sea.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
So what ended up happening.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
And they've been causing a lot of problems for some time, right,
they've been this is I think this area and the
problems with the attacks on like they they've they've been
trying to disrupt for quite some time.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I was trying to think, when this has been.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Our whole lives, right, this has pretty much been our
entire lives that this has been happening. So you have
this incredibly important waterway and a lot I was like,
a significant amount of you know, crude, all of that
comes through, goes through the Red Sea, you go out

(21:55):
in the Gulfadian go around the Horn of Africa. It's
like a very dangerous What was the movie where the
meme Caine and it was the guy who's like, I'm the.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Captain now Tom Hanks.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no title to it. Don't don't
bother guys out there immediately going to the keyboards. It's
just that Tom Hanks movie that's what it's called that
Tom Hanks movie.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Now Wan is showing you the map.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
This is the area that we're talking about specifically, and
this is the water.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
So you go in through the sea.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
As you go in through the Red Sea, now you
see Yemen and this is the Hooty operate in this area.
Of course, you got a lot of pirates coming out
of Somalia that are also operating in this area. This
is such a crucial waterway and they've been trying to
block numerous ships for quite some time. And I think

(22:45):
what they've they've gone after, like, for instance, anything that
looks like an Israeli ship. There have been instances, there
have been stories previously that we've had where they've gone
after ships because they thought, oh this is that an
Israeli flagger, is that an Israeli decal?

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Whatever, So you go in. They're they're.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
Going to try to bottleneck even more and disrupt the
flow of shipments out of this out of this Red Seat,
through the strait around the Horn of Africa, and it's
gonna be it's gonna be pretty chaotic. Trump had a
he had response to this too. He was on not X.
He did this on true Social. Yeah, he had it

(23:23):
on true Social and I'm pulling up his statement here.
He I'm not going to read all of it, but
as you can imagine, some of it was in capslock.
So he had said that, he gave that. He said
he ordered the United States military in this area right here.
We got a lot of ships that come in and
you have a lot of allies that come in from
this area. You have a lot of Chinese vessels, you
have a you know, a number of German I mean,

(23:44):
there's a lot, a lot, a lot of vessels that
come through this area. And he said they've been waging
an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism against American
other ship's, aircraft and drones.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
He talked about that it's been over a year since
as this is what's crazy.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
This is true.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
It's been over a year since the US flagged commercial
ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Seat
or the Gulf of Aden. The last American warship, he said,
four months ago, was attacked by HOUTH. He's over a
dozen times and they're entirely financed by IRANNT They fired
missiles at aircraft, targeted troops and allies. He said, you know,
it's billions of dollars, it's you know, impacting the economy,

(24:26):
et cetera, et cetera. He said, they've choked off shipping
in one of the most important waterways of the world,
grinding commercial shipping to a halt.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
And then he talks.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
About how our brave warfighters are carrying out aerial attacks
against terrist bases leaders and then he gets into capslock.
This is my favorite quote to all houthy terrorists. Capslock.
You know, there's a certain joy when he presses that button.
Your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today.
If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like

(24:57):
nothing you've ever seen before.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Exclam me point I voted for that. So he's basically saying,
I'm going to stick a.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Boot up your backside sideways and then all the ways.
So he said, beware, We're not going to be nice
about it, you know.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
And in post.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
Now I understand it. We have American vessels that are
going through. We are looking at oil. There's you know
a lot of shipments that come through. I mean, oil
is a big thing. I get it, because that's it
becomes a national security issue. It affects the economy. I
get it, uh, but not everybody's on the same page.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
I'm sure you've seen some.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
Of this, yet does increase prices at the pump as well.
So there are some who claim that this is Trump
declaring war and it's unconstitutional, which it's not.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
He's not declaring war.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
He's just saying we're defending our ships and if you
strike us. I mean, think about this. They have attacked
the US Navy one hundred and seventy four times, and
our navy's over there just to help keep everything kind
of chill, so our vessels can go through right, one

(26:18):
hundred and seventy four times. Commercial shipping vessels attacked one
hundred and forty five times. This is only in the
past eighteen months. Now, you might ask, well, how effective
are the hoothies?

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Actually, I know, I'm see.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
This is where I'm torn because in some instances, if
you don't have if you're not how do I want
to put this level yellow alert and ready to you know,
even just modestly defend yourself. It can go really bad sideways,
very fast, and having our defense forces be so well

(27:01):
prepared doesn't necessarily that's that's not a reduction of their
potential danger that they posed, right, the hoothis pose.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
So they said that they.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Were trying to brag that they were attacking or that
they were bothering a US aircraft carrier. Now I moved
from attacking to bother, but the Navy was like mah,
and we barely noticed. They said that F sixteen and
F eighteen fighter aircraft hours have shot down eleven drones
fire that had been fired by the Hoothy since Trump

(27:33):
approved in order for all for air strikes over Yemen.
This happened Saturday night. Sidemark, how busy have they been?
A rounding up trend Ragua MS thirteen overnight flights El
Salvador Ta Dah and then this very busy. They said
that the drones did not come close. The aircraft carrier
in question was the Harry S. Truman, and the one

(27:54):
of the officials with the with DoD had.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Said, Eh, wouldn't you know?

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Basically basically he said, I didn't really bother us. They
shot everything down. That's been a key role in a
lot of the military action over there is the Harry S.
Truman tracking showed one at least one missile failed in
flight and splashed down in the waters off Yemen. The
military took our military took no action on that. That
was not considered a threat except by the Houthies. They're

(28:21):
the Houthis were like, no, we're big and bad. They're
a HOOTHI spokesperson said the armed forces with the help.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Of God Almighty. I don't think it's the same God.
Uh carried out.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Quality of military operation talking in the aircraft blah blah blah,
like they I love how these these rat bastard terrorist
groups have official spokespeople that they push out right. It's
like watching kids playhouse, isn't it? So they uh, they
were kind of bragging about it. The Navy was like, man,
we didn't really notice. The Houthis also put out I

(28:53):
don't know. I guess this is trying to it's bad.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
AI. I watched this cane. This is like the dumbest
thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
It is crudely it's like AI plus Correl photo like
Correl draw And they put out the Internet equivalent of
bathroom graffiti. They posted this animation of US draped caskets
like with the flag floating around in the water amongst

(29:20):
the destroyed warships.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Now I got a question.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
First off, I watched this and my first thought was
who laid the flags on the casket?

Speaker 4 (29:29):
And like why is this?

Speaker 5 (29:30):
I mean when they put the fire out by the ship,
and like, right, why are all the caskets just in
the water. That's so stupid, Like that's not even realistic.
You use stupid terrorists, don't even get it right, that's
the dumbest thing ever. Wan's getting ready to show you.
I found this offensive for how bad it was, It
didn't scare me. It just made me think they still

(29:50):
don't have photoshop over there. They don't even have real
engine over there.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
I mean, for crying out alight, you don't even have
access to that.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
So this was this is a screenshot from it, but
like Bob's in the water, and then the video pulls
out and there's all these other flag draped. Was this
were you were you scared?

Speaker 7 (30:07):
Came?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Were you just quaking in your boots?

Speaker 7 (30:09):
No?

Speaker 6 (30:10):
After seeing exactly what happened and even some of the
video footage of how you know, we had some crazy
weather over the weekend, but they got.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
Scorched, Yeah they did, Yeah, they did some hell fire
and tornaders rained down help on them.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Courteousy of a storm called the US Navy. That's correct. See,
this is what I want.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
My military to do is to protect my interest because
if I'm buying gas, that's my that's my energy coming through.
So that is where I do get that it's a
net sec issue. I'm not total capital l libertarian with this.
I'm not a nation builder either. I'm not an isolationist.
I just don't care about anybody else's interest but my own,
and I will I don't care. This is geopolitics. I'm

(30:49):
not here to wipe everybody's backside. Right and by me
talking about my own, I mean the US of A.
See wand's showing you this right now. This is what
the little crude hoothy's cobbled together. I mean, I've got
I'm made of questions right now. Who puts the flag?
I mean, if they're all dead, who puts the flags
on the coffins? And then oh look the warship with
the settings that's just so stupid. I mean, this is

(31:11):
just such hokey imagery. Again, clearly no one has access
to real engine or even like anybody who understands reality
over there.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
So people are saying that that Trump is declaring war
and our friend Thomas Massey, and I like Thomas Massey.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
I like him a lot.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
He made the point that there are five countries and
five corporations that benefit the most from US military activity
to eliminate shipping disruptions caused by the Huthi near the
Red Sea. China is first, followed by Saudi Arabia, Germany, Japan,
and South Korea. The corporations that benefit the most. AP
maris that now that's the Marisk is the ship that
was in that Tom Hanks movie.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
I don't know why I remember that.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Remember that was one of their ships, Mediterranean Shipping, BP, SHELL, CMA, CGM.
I don't know who they are, but those are the
people that they and I understand what he's saying. He
said that the shipping route is mainly used to get
experts from Asia to Europe. The economic value to US
is primarily an importing oil from the Middle East. But
we can do our own, and so I get what

(32:13):
he's saying. He's not saying that there shouldn't be any
action to protect ships. That's not I sometimes I feel
like X is a warshock test of people who have
reading comprehension, and then those who don't. He is, in
a very artful way, asking why are these other countries

(32:34):
not committing the same kind of defense to this area
that we are? And I think that's a valid question.
Why should the United States? I only want to protect
our interests. If I see a drone going towards a
Chinese ship, I don't care, don't even care. Why would
we help with our military a geopolitical foe in that area? Now,

(32:58):
no one is by asking asking the question. And this
is where many drive bys make the logical fallacy of
assuming that it's begging the question, and it's not. It's
asking the question. It's not presuming that this is true.
So we're going to use this as launchpad to ask
the next question in the sequence, the logical sequence, that's
not what we're doing. The question is simply, why are

(33:20):
these other countries not committing the same amount of defense
as we are in this area?

Speaker 11 (33:24):
Now?

Speaker 5 (33:25):
If we're just protecting our ships, I think that's fine.
I think if German ships want to be want to
have protection, then maybe they should get some German vessels
there to protect and German military there to protect. It
should be a Saudi Arabia, same thing, and we know
the Saudis can afford it, so the prices, I would
say that, and I get the argument that, Okay, well

(33:47):
if we buy things from Europe, that's going to make
prices increase if we don't have that area free of
who Thy's and I get that impact. I also get
the argument that, well, this just allows us to drill
more of our own.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Okay, here's the problem.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
There are a lot of steps that have to be
taken in order to make that happen in the US.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
There's a grace period.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
We're going to come back to this because we were
out of time this segment, but we got a heck
of a lot more on the way as we move
real fast. Gold prices have surged over forty percent since
January twenty twenty four, consistently reaching new highs. According to
Goldman Sachs Research, the upward trend is expected to persist
due to strong demand from central banks. It's stuff like
this that's made me take action and why I've bought

Including Democratic Senator John Fetterman called it bizarre and reportedly
mocked it in the Senate hall way. I will say
that you're punching look better than some of your colleagues.
He's been Fetterman has been criticizing your party for undignified
antics and a sad cavalcade of self owns during the
President's addressed to Congress. What's your response to Senator Fetterman.

Speaker 12 (37:21):
He's not the ones to talk about anything. I mean,
this is a guy that doesn't seemingly want to own
a suit, own a suit. I'm not really sure, but
I don't show up in hoodies when I'm going on
the floor.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
And so the idea that you would.

Speaker 12 (37:33):
Say that we could not have a moment in which
an influencer asked us to do this. Now, I'll be
perfectly honest with you and tell you when she.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
Asked, she doesn't show up in hoodies on the floor.
And he doesn't show up with size eighteen lashes on

went and robbed a spider of their legs. Welcome back

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Democrats are at each other's throats. I'm here for it.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
I love watching Democrats fight. Put that stuff up on
World Star. There are like so many acoun let's just
like have them body each other in a Twitter account.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
That's all we need.

Speaker 5 (38:26):
They're all mad. They're mad, and they're now lashing out.
We're at the what level would this be like of
stages of grief?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
I'm trying to think.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
They keep moving those goalposts too.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Yeah they yeah, they do.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
I don't know what stage or grief we're at, but
all I know is that Democrats are angry at the
world and they're now going after each other. So I
wanted to highlight just some of this because it's so adorable,
so excited about it. So their party has hit new polling.

(39:05):
They got new polling out the parties hit a new low,
a new low in fact there and this is from NBC,
who loved them. They said, quote, unlike in Trump's first term,
Democratic voters just say, Democrat voters say two to one
that they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise,
even at the risk of not getting things done. They

(39:26):
also noted that only twenty seven percent of registered Democrat
voters have a positive view of their own party. It
is the lowest positive rating NBC's recorded since nineteen ninety.
Only seven percent seven percent of registered Democrat voters say
they have a positive view of their party.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Wow. Wow.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
That made one polster say with numbers like these, the
Democrat Party is not just in need of a rebrand,
it needs to be rebooted now. They attribute these lower
poll numbers to fed up Democrats. According to data they
after they watched their party lose to Trump in twenty

(40:13):
twenty four. Now they're saying that they're mad if some
of them they feel like their party is not holding
the line. Some of them they feel like they're more
interested in fighting with Trump than delivering on what they
voted for. And then some say they just want to fight.
So it is. It's pretty wild. In fact, Pete Aguilar

(40:36):
out of California said, quote, when Trump wakes up in
the morning and says you're doing the right things, Senate Democrats,
we don't feel that that's the.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Right place to be. That's what we said. That was
this direct quote, Oh, I love it, I love it. Now.
Contrast this, Contrast this with this, pulling highest approval ever
that he's ever had. Trump more Americans say the US
is on the right track than in any time in
the past twenty years. Also an NBC poll.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
Oh, look at that same NBC pool or another one,
same outlet, they said that.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
He's still no.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
The only problem here and I'm going to come back
to this in a minute, deals with the economy. But
they said that according to this survey, they said that
people are supporting his trade policy forty one percent that
oppose they a lot of key, they said, fifty six
percent on the border positive, fifty six percent positive government cuts,

(41:31):
forty seven percent, only twenty nine were opposed. Even like
on Ukraine and NATO. He has some pretty good he's
got pretty good polling. The only thing and NBC notes
that this is the first time that he's lost a
majority on this issue in an NBC poll is the economy.

(41:52):
I have warned you guys over and over again, this
is what it's going to come down to. This is
what Democrats are going to exploit to take back because
they and they could. I want everyone to know Democrats
could absolutely easily really take the House in midterms and
the Senate.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
They want to do it through the economy.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
I know you're like, wait a minute, how wait the
same party that was lined out?

Speaker 4 (42:17):
Yes, because voters are fickle. It's not.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Something that they don't look at the whole body of
work and judge it. It always comes down to what have
you done for me lately? Fifty six percent disapprove of
Trump's handling on the economy. That's the first time they
noted he's lost a majority on this issue. He has
not won over a majority of Americans on this yet.
This is why I keep hammering the point home that
they need to be out front and center messaging on tariffs,

(42:45):
messaging on tax cuts. And I again, I really think
that the sequencing was wrong on this. I think you
should have done tax cuts first, and then if you
were going to do tariffs, then you do tariffs. But
you have to have consumers need a shot in the arm.
They're burdened, they're overworked, they're overtaxed. You can tariffs without

(43:06):
a reduction of government spending, and tax cuts will be
an additional tax. That's just the fact of the matter.
Just like guys have schlongs. That is how this works, right.
We don't trans the language of the economy to suit
one side or over the other. So that's the realism
of it. So now, if they're going to get tax
cuts done, since they didn't do it in the proper order,

(43:29):
they need to be messaging on that hardcore and Trump
needs to be beating the heads, the brains out of
the heads politically speaking of House members and Senate members
to get this stuff done. Otherwise midterms are gone. You
can say hello to President Newsom in twenty eight. That's
not an idle threat. That's just prognostication. That's all that is.

(43:51):
So he's the good news is that he's got really
good approval on all of these other issues. But the
bad news is that he has not won over at
least according to this Polton pretty decent poll, the economy well.
So Lorraine says that the stages are denial, anger, bargaining
depression and acceptance. Democrats are at anger. So they're at
step two. Great, Great, we still got bargaining depression to

(44:14):
go through before they just accept it.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
How long will that take? I'm wondering, just wondering. So
this is important to.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
Again hit Democrats or Republicans rather desperately, desperately, desperately need
to get on the messaging. Now with all this, you've
had Schumer who has just been taking He's been throttled
by his fellow Democrats because when they passed that CR

(44:45):
to fund government, and I don't know, I'm going to
interrupt myself. I have no idea why Democrats were so
mad about voting for the CR because it's literally theirs.
There are there are no changes, there are no cuts.
What they did is they moved around certain quantities of
cash to make it look like there was a modest cut,

(45:07):
but there has not been a cut at all whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Tax cuts aren't permanent. There's not a single damn Doge cut.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
In fact, all of the cuts that Dose recommended, they're
still funding them till September. All the stuff with USAID,
you know the headlines that you see, No, it's all
still getting funded until September. Nothing has changed. So I
don't know why Democrats we're screaming and crying because they
still got their whole Democrat framework all the way up
until September, you know, and Republicans were saying, well, we

(45:35):
got to wait until we have you know, we have
to have sixty votes in the Senate to make sure
this happens. That's why we can't do this now. So
they're going to wait till September when they still don't
have sixty votes. That was only ever an excuse. I
hope you guys realize that you got played by the
GOP establishment with us. Just as long as we all
recognize what happened, we can move on. I you know,

(45:55):
I wasn't screaming into the wind for nothing. So Schumer though,
he was like, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and back
this bill. And Democrats are mad. They weren't mad when
they literally voted for it back in what fall, remember no,
actually December. It was like in December when this one passed.
And remember in December, this was after the election. Everyone

(46:17):
said no, we can't do this bill. We can't do
the CR or have a budget bill. We got to
do a cr We're going to wait until Congress, the
new Congress has seed it. That was the excuse in December.
Do you remember September. The excuse before that was we
can't do anything before the election.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
We got to wait.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
There's always an excuse, always, always. So I wanted to
play this.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
I need to.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
I want to get moves so I can play this
other stuff. I want to set this up. Imagine, if
you would, you find out that your minor school age
daughter was forced by a school in Deerfield, Illinois to

(46:59):
change in front of a male student who pretended to
be trans, and that teachers held her and other female
students in the locker room after a gym class and
made them do it. Listen to these parents. This is
a middle school in Illinois, Deerfield's school District one oh nine.

(47:20):
This was on Thursday of last week.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Listen to this.

Speaker 13 (47:25):
Hello, my name is Nicole Georgis, and I'm here to
demand that the locker rooms and bathrooms a district one
oh nine be designated as biological male and biological female,
as they're already as a gender neutral option. The girls
want their locker rooms and bathrooms back, They want their
privacy back.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
This is why I'm here tonight.

Speaker 13 (47:42):
My thirteen year old daughter is well being, in mental
health and privacy as as at stake. This nightmare began
on February fifth, when my daughter was using the girl's
bathroom and was stunned that a biological male student was
using it as well. She came home frightened and was
extremely upset. I asked her to talk with her teachers
and find out more information. She was told by the
administration that a student can use the bathroom as well

(48:04):
as a female locker room because they now identify as female.
I was sent an email to the teachers involved in
received a call from Principal Wegley. He verbally reiterated that,
under Joanna Ford's direction and their legal counsel, that the
student could use both the locker room and bathroom. I
expressed that the school was in violation of federal policy

(48:24):
the Trump administration issued in executive order restricting biological males
from participating in sports and accessing female locker rooms. That day,
I filed a civil rights complaint on behalf of my
daughter with a Department of Justice. It has now been
referred to the Department of Education. A federal complaint has
been filed with the district to protect the students.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
Unbelievable. So the girls did not want to have their
privacy violated. They all together agreed they were going to
refuse to undress in front of this male's student. And
then the principal, Kathy Van Trees, forced them into her office,
questioned them, the mad marched them to the locker room
and forced them to get undressed in front of the boy.

(49:07):
Forced them. Now, Illinois's pass laws protecting this. I think
it's sexual abuse. I think that Kathy Van Trees I
read this and she sounds like a predator to me.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
This is sexual abuse.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
Forcing the girls into a locker room. How is that
not unlawful detainment? Which is kidnapping? How is that not
an unlawful detainment charge? There need to be charges filed.
And these teachers, who every official who took part in
this should be dragged out of that school by the
hair on their head. This is what you go scorched

(49:44):
earth over. Can you imagine if that was your child?
I would have beat her ass myself. I would be
in jail right now. I'm not just saying that as
a joke. I literally would have beat her ass. If
that was my child, and I know a lot of
you out there feel the same way. This absolute trash principle.

(50:08):
Marching these young girls in there and making them strip
in front of a student. Did she have a fetish
for it or something? What kind of school official does that?
That is sexual abuse? That is absolute textbook sexual abuse.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
Sickens me.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
We have a lot more to come, and we also
have Florida's Attorney General. We're gonna ask him about something.
How would that fly in Florida. James Uthmeyer is going
to be joining us at the bottom of the hour,
so we got a lot to hit as we move
our partners that he'll bring you the program. What does
living better mean to you? Is it more money, a
bigger house? Nothing about this?

Speaker 4 (50:43):
What about how you feel physically? Every day?

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Life is so much better when you feel good. When
you wake up feeling great, you can do more of
the things that you love and you're ready to take

Speaker 6 (51:39):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
You can find my Saint Patrick's Day Spotify playlist by
the way up on Spotify, and I always make sure
to include it in your newsletter.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Two for those who subscribe.

Speaker 5 (51:54):
All Right, all right headlines CNN Paul, we talked about
Democrat Party's favorability drive to a record low.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Basement level, basement root seller. I think that's a good
way to put it.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Starbucks is ordered to pay fifty million dollars to a
delivery driver burned by a hot beverrage to.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
Go full on Moira rose with it.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
They said that it's a jury in If you had
a guess the state, it rhymes with Shmellafornia.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
It's totally believable.

Speaker 5 (52:25):
Fifty million a delivery driver he was burned by an
improperly secured lid. Michael Garcia was picking up drinks that
are drive through. He got disfigurement. Oh yeah, nerve damage
to his genitals. Now, if the lid is not securely
on it, I get it. That's Starbucks.

Speaker 4 (52:42):
But we do need tort reform because does your burned nibb?
It cost fifty million?

Speaker 6 (52:48):
I checked the lid every time I get it.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
I do too, check the lid. That's true.

Speaker 6 (52:51):
Well what's hard about that?

Speaker 4 (52:53):
I mean? Did they apparently win?

Speaker 5 (52:55):
The barista handed him the order, the drink fell out
of the container and onto him. So how does this
guy get fifty million dollars for getting a burned schmeener
from Starbucks?

Speaker 4 (53:08):
How? I'm trying to avoid upsetting anybody.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
We got some people who are better than I in
our Pennsylvania markets. They're they're very good people, and I
love them and I don't want to offend them, all right, So, uh,
I'm gonna come back to the Gene Hackman thing.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
I don't have enough time.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
Joe Biden, Ashley Biden is in a lot of trouble.
So is Megan Markle and the Harry whatever because they
apparently donated two hundred fifty thousand dollars and it wasn't disclosed.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Oh oh, James uth Meyer, a g of Florida.

Speaker 5 (53:36):
Next, the folks who help bring you our illustrious program.
It's our friends over at Caltech in Florida, based in Florida,
great Florida based company, the PR fifty seven. It's their
new PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in five
seven and this is like one of the well it's
a new, one of the new ones for them. It's

(53:57):
the first of its kind. I mean, this thing is
so incredibly in it msrp's only three ninety nine, so
it's super affordable. It's the lightest. This is why you
need it. It is the lightest five seven that's on
the market, forty percent lighter than the next five to seven.
It is a very unique top loading design that replaces
traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile.
And you have twenty plus one capacity. It is actually

(54:19):
perfect for everyday carry for everyone. You can't say that
about every five to seven. You can say that about
the PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol from Caltech chambered
in five seven and again three ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
Super super affordable, and it is.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
It's incredibly practical, really, I mean it's great handling. Mine
just came in. I haven't made it to my FFL yet.
It literally just arrived, so I have to go get
it and then go to the range. You know, it's
the same place, so it's great. Visit kel Tech Weapons

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Welcome back to the program.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
Of course, we have our much admired Patty's Day Hot playlist,
which you can access over at Spotify as well. And again,
if you're just tuning in good to have you can
listen coast to coast. We're in every state in the Union.
We've got the simulcast Channel three forty seven Direct TV,
as well as x Facebook rumbles, where the chat is

(55:26):
lots of stuff happening. I was super excited last week
when I saw this, I retweeted it. I got very
excited because I Florida's my backup state, and I've told
everybody this. I've got a lot of family and a
lot of friends in the Sunshine State. Love vacationing there.
I mean, they got like some of the best places ever.
Love the state. The gun laws kill my soul and

(55:47):
I realize that there. You know, when you have a
Republican majority, super majority, not everybody's a hard r right,
not everybody's super conservative, So you got some weird, questionable
gun laws. I was very excited to see this is
like one of the first things that he did. The
new Attorney General had tweeted out targeting the restriction the

(56:08):
age restrictions Florida law ages eighteen to twenty to purchase.
He says it runs a foul of our Constitution's Second
Amendment joining us Now, Florida Attorney General James Othmeyer and
where a general, We're so glad to have you on
the program, and I'm so happy that you are immediately
like this is one of the first things that you're
looking at, because I've heard so many I've heard complaints

(56:28):
from my family that lived down there constantly and a
lot of our friends, and I mean, it's just it's
kind of crazy because Florida is such a free state
and I always thought that, you know, they do so
many things great, but Texas has better gun laws than Florida.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
But you're aiming to change that. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 7 (56:44):
Thank you for having me, Dana. I appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
So tell me about this.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
This is and this is just one of several things
that you're looking at, the aged restriction first and foremost.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
And I love what you said.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
You know, you you were intimating that if you can
sign up for select for sign up for selective service,
why in the world could you not keeping bear arms
as is your constitutional right? Because this all happened, I
know in the wake of Parkland. Is the appetite there
in the legislature to do this or are you looking
at this? I mean, I understand the constitutional argument is
that where you're looking at.

Speaker 7 (57:12):
Those you know, I'm looking at it from both sides.

Speaker 8 (57:16):
So and I'm a few weeks on the job here
when I got here. I know the state has been
defending for several years now it's age restriction on firearms,
prohibiting eighteen, nineteen and twenty year olds from purchasing firearms,
and the state has been successful in the court systems.
But I'm a big believer in our constitution. I believe

(57:37):
we have to protect it at all costs, and I
immediately asked our team here in the Attorney General's Office
to take a look at the legal analysis so that
I could decide if we wanted to get out of
such defense.

Speaker 7 (57:49):
During this process.

Speaker 8 (57:50):
Late last week Friday, the Eleventh Circuit en banc panel
decided its opinion and.

Speaker 7 (57:56):
Upheld Florida's law.

Speaker 8 (57:58):
Notwithstanding that opinion, I would be in the descent there,
and I do believe that there are Second Amendment infirmities
with Florida law when it comes to restricting the right
to keep in bear arms, which is very clearly a
right enumerated in our Constitution. Any government regulation really has
to be consistent with Founding era regulation, and at the

(58:20):
Founding eighteen nineteen to twenty year olds were not prohibited
from purchasing firearms. Indeed, they were encouraged and oftentimes required
to do so if they were serving in the militia.

Speaker 7 (58:31):
So I do believe Florida's law has issues.

Speaker 8 (58:34):
I assume the Eleventh Circuit case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court, and I've directed my staff that we
will not be defending that law if it is indeed
on appeal. When it comes to our legislature, I know
that there are numerous bills moving, one focused on this
age restriction that would repeal the prohibition on eighteen to
twenty year olds.

Speaker 7 (58:53):
Again, these are people that are at the age of majority.

Speaker 8 (58:56):
They have the ability to enter into contracts rights afforded
to people at the age of majority, they can serve
in the military. It seems difficult to me and constitutionally
questionable that these people could not purchase a firearm to
protect their families or go hunting. You know, it's turkey season,

(59:16):
and I know a lot of young people would like
to partake in that in the history and traditions that
are associated with it.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (59:23):
I've never understood We're talking to Florida's Attorney General, James Offmeyer.
I've never understood the argument, particularly from the left, that no,
we can't to have you know, eighteen to twenty year
olds actually be able to purchase, but we should lower
the voting age. Those seem to be kind of crazy
contradictory arguments to me.

Speaker 8 (59:40):
Yeah, the left is filled with contradictions, and as you
point them out, they don't fight back with rational response.

Speaker 7 (59:46):
They just double down.

Speaker 8 (59:48):
The Democrats they would love to take all of our
guns away and nevertheless open up our ballot box so
that we can wreck havoc on this country. But our
founding fathers were smart guys. They wrote our Constitution with purpose,
and it's up to us, as principled conservatives, to defend it.
And nothing frustrates me more than when Republicans get squishy

(01:00:08):
on the constitutional text.

Speaker 7 (01:00:11):
I understand.

Speaker 8 (01:00:11):
You know, there are emotional times when some of these
shootings happen. They almost always seem to be instances where
the guns are.

Speaker 7 (01:00:18):
Not lawfully purchased or possessed.

Speaker 8 (01:00:21):
Nevertheless, the left, you know, they use those moments to conservatives,
and unfortunately many people squish out as the term I
like to use, and you won't see that out of
my office.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
In the wake of Parkland, and I was down there
for the now infamous town hall that took place, then
Governor Rick Scott and a lot of the Republican lawmakers
had passed a package that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Included a series of restrictions, including this.

Speaker 5 (01:00:45):
There was also the red flag restrictions, these red flag laws,
which you know, in my view and many others, it's
just a complete erosion of due process. I mean it
removes due process. You have a penalty rendered, and then
you basically have to fight to prove your self innocent
in a court of law, which is I've never understood
how that is in any way constitutional. I know that

(01:01:06):
now Governor Ron DeSantis has said he would love to
sign a law essentially repealing that he wants the legislature
to repeal that is that? How do you view that
as Attorney general? I mean, what is your position on
red flag laws? Is that something you support him repealing that?

Speaker 7 (01:01:23):
I do support it.

Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
I think again that the due process issues that you've
referenced have serious constitutional infirmities. And the burning shifting analysis
that occurs where guns are removed and you've got to
go and you have the burden of making your case
as to why you should get it back.

Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
I do believe there are.

Speaker 8 (01:01:41):
Legal infirmities here, and we're analyzing all the various gun
bills that are ongoing, but the one first and foremost
that I know the legislatures looking at.

Speaker 7 (01:01:50):
Is the age restriction and repealing that.

Speaker 8 (01:01:53):
And in the Fifth Circuit, you know, coming out of Texas,
has an opinion on point here that is declaring such
age restrictions unconstitutional. I think that court got it right,
and I do think it sets up a situation where
the United States Supreme Court will get to weigh in
regardless of any new legislation that might be passed.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
I wanted to ask you too again, if you're just
joining us. We're talking to Florida's Attorney General, James Othmeier.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
A great ag.

Speaker 5 (01:02:20):
He's already like barely in the office, and he hit
the ground running.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
I love that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:24):
I love these empowered ags. You also noted, and I'm
bringing this up. This was from a couple of different
news outlets. Over a dozen illegal aliens detained and breved,
and the sheriff their ice have been ramping up enforcement.
This is a part, obviously, of that interior enforcement part
of the Trump agenda that I know the DeSantis administration

(01:02:46):
wanted to implement. There was some pushback for some pretty
squishy Republicans as I understand it, but Florida's.

Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
Been doing this for quite a long time. I know.

Speaker 5 (01:02:53):
I'm sure you saw the MS thirteen and the trend
of Aragua. So it's good to see federally that everybody's
catching up to what Florida has been doing.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
Tell me about those.

Speaker 8 (01:03:03):
Sure, well, we hit the ground running, you know. We
called a special session and we were able to pass
the most robust legislation in the country to combat illegal immigration.
And immediately thereafter, we started working with the Feds to
get delegated authorities to all of our state law enforcement
so they can help ice and carry out detentions and deportations.

(01:03:24):
We were this first state in the country, even faster
than Texas, I might add, have to not only have
our state law enforcement agencies get a two eighty seven
G certified. That's the federal statutory provision that allows states
to be delegated to help out.

Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
Our state law.

Speaker 8 (01:03:40):
Enforcement officers got this training, and then every county sheriff
those are the guys that are boots on the ground
that are engaging in the arrests like you reference there
in Bivard County. Every single one of our sheriffs immediately
got two eighty seven G certified as well.

Speaker 7 (01:03:55):
So we're there.

Speaker 8 (01:03:55):
We're working hand in hand with ICE and Homeland Security
getting into our criminal justice system. We're going to detain
you and we're going to work with the Feds to
get you back where you came from. And we already
have dozens and dozens of rests occurring across the state.
So we're going to be there to help, and we
hope other.

Speaker 7 (01:04:12):
States will will follow suit. We're certainly willing to work
with them.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
I hope they do as well.

Speaker 5 (01:04:17):
I hope all these other states cut if you have
all of these other states doing what the federal government
hasn't done. I mean, I know things are changing now
with the new administration, but still it's been the states
that have been really under Biden and even under Obama,
Biden leading the charge on this, and now we don't
have the Department of Justice fighting everyone like they were
Jam Brewer back in the day. We're talking with Attorney
General James Othmeyer out of the Sunshine.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
State of Florida. The Face Act.

Speaker 5 (01:04:40):
This is one of the other things that you've been
focusing on that's been used to chill free speech and
silence pro life protesters. You're also using this to protect
pregnancy resource centers. Tell me about this, because there was
what a ten thousand dollars civil find that was actually
collected from one of the anti for activists on us.

Speaker 8 (01:05:02):
Yeah, you know, the the left, the Biden administration, the Democrats,
they use this statute to weaponize against the First Amendment
rights of our pro life advocates.

Speaker 7 (01:05:14):
So we're turning the tables on them.

Speaker 8 (01:05:16):
If if you want to go and intimidate people at
one of these pregnancy resource centers, if you want to
be hateful and scare people, we're going to come after you.
We'll find you, and we'll hold you accountable. You know,
in Florida, these these pro abortion groups have.

Speaker 7 (01:05:33):
Just run amok for too long.

Speaker 8 (01:05:35):
You know, when it comes to changing our constitution, they
go out and they gather fraudulent signatures, and we've had
a settlement with them on that where they were caught
red handed. We're going to continue to investigate every effort
in which they want to break the law and harass
and intimidate peaceful pro life advocates. And you know, we're

(01:05:55):
we're not going to allow the left to weaponize law.
We're going to use that law to enforce it based
on the letter of the text and protect the piece.

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
I love the taking these bad things that the Biden
administration did and then turning them around or finding the loopholes,
or finding the way to you know, transform it into
actually protecting you know, speech for those people out there
who have been advocating for pro life issues. Last question
for you. We're talking with Attorney General James Othmeyern. We're
grateful that he was able to join us today. You know,
I got to ask you about this question. I've avoided

(01:06:24):
this topic forever, but now that you're with me, I
have to ask you about the whole Tate brother thing.
For those people who are unfamiliar with this whole story,
count your blessings, but you know, you your top lobbying
in Florida.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
You got to deal with this.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
I know that you said that there's a there's a
criminal investigation into the Tate brothers. There is Andrew and
Tristan Tate, and I know that there's like all kinds
of sex trafficking accusations. There's an investigation in the UK,
there's an ongoing investigation as I understand it, in Romania
that's actually expanded there's like apparently more stuff that's coming in.
They were in Florida, a lot of news made by

(01:07:00):
Governor Desanta saying that they weren't welcome. They turned it
into a pr stunt, then they left. They've been complaining
about it quite a lot. But you've while they're doing that,
you're actually doing the work of saying, hey, there's some
stuff happening here that merits investigation.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
Where are you in that process?

Speaker 7 (01:07:16):
Sure?

Speaker 8 (01:07:17):
Well, we are continuing to investigate, even though they pretty
quickly fled the state's jurisdiction. But if we can show
that they committed crimes on Florida soil, then we will
continue to pursue.

Speaker 7 (01:07:28):
Them, you know, at all costs.

Speaker 8 (01:07:31):
You know, people keep saying, oh, thank you for being
courageous on this Tate Brothers thing, And to me, it's
an easy thing. These guys are charged with horrific things
around the world. But then on top of that, they
go public and they make jokes about being with girls
that are fifteen or sixteen, They make jokes about not
knowing the age you know, of consent in Florida in

(01:07:52):
the United States, When you have victims coming forward, when
you have public admissions, when you have criminal investigations around
the world.

Speaker 7 (01:07:59):
There are nearly reasons why we.

Speaker 8 (01:08:01):
As a state have a duty to investigate and protect
our citizen rate, and we will continue to do that
when it comes to human trafficking and praying upon you know,
our women and girls that are not at the age
of majority, like, we will stop at nothing to protect them. Again,
rule of law, We're not going to go out and
persecute anybody that did not do something wrong. You have

(01:08:21):
my word as Attorney general. We will never do what
the left does there. But if you break the law
and you're in this state, like we're going to come
after you.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
I just have to your point.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
I've i and everything that we've known about them has
been from stuff they've said on video.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
I mean, that's it's.

Speaker 8 (01:08:36):
Not about devices and things. Every time these guys open
their mouths and get some deeper in a.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Hole, I'm just like, who's your council advising you? Like
what is happening here?

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
But I don't know how that got lifted up as
some measure of conservatism, going out and pimping women and
living off of the pimping of women digitally and bragging
about beating them or all kinds. I mean, I just
don't know why we're lifting up like middle age, single
childless peace people that engage and like camgirl business. I
just don't know how that became like a measure of conservatism.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:09:07):
For that is not masculinity, that is that is weakness.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
And sickness exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:09:12):
James Othmeyer, Attorney General Florida. We're very glad that your
attorney general. We expect great things from you and we'll
be watching eagerly.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 7 (01:09:18):
Thank you, Dana hope that to come back soon.

Speaker 5 (01:09:20):
Of course, appreciate it. It's our friends over. It's the
non firearm firearm. It's the burn a gun. The burnagun
is well, it doesn't care about gun for his own
science doesn't care about any of that stuff. The burn
a gun is a great way to diversify what you
have already for your weapon, for your weapons. I have
friends and when I first heard about it, I had
a friend who lives in DC and they have their

(01:09:42):
they have their license. It's really difficult to get one
of those carry licenses in DC's but in DC, but
my friend has it and unfortunately they're not able to
carry it like in ninety percent of the places because
the municipal and private property and all that stuff. But
because of the nature of their work, they have to
walk to their car late at night sometimes and that's
pretty dangerous, especially in a high crime city. So they

(01:10:03):
went and they got a burn A gun. They got
specifically the SD. It's their best selling model. It shoots
chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to
fifty feet away. When you compare it to average stunt guns.
Stunt guns are what one or two rounds. Burna SD
offers five and there are different models. This is the
most popular one. You have instant readiness, there's no recoil,

(01:10:23):
and again five round capacity. This is a great way
to diversify. I mean, you carry knives, you carry blades,
so this makes sense especially in those kind of difficult areas. Again,
doesn't care about gun for his zone signs, no waiting period,
no background check.

Speaker 6 (01:10:49):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.

Speaker 4 (01:10:58):
Well, this man's got some priorities, that's for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
A Florida man steals an ambulance, got to say it
like my southern family ambulance ambulance finishes beer before being arrested,
Say troopers, he's got some priorities, like I said. Michael Esquilin,
forty three, faces multiple charges out of Tampa stole an
ambulance on Saturday and quote finished drinking a beer in
full view of troopers before he was arrested. Yeah, he

(01:11:25):
looks the type.

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
How is this dude forty three? What criminals looks so old?

Speaker 5 (01:11:31):
Look, that's why you should be lawbiding because crime ages you.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
It ages you.

Speaker 5 (01:11:37):
Oh so they said that he was fleeing to elude
at high speed. It was his fourth DUI. His license
was revoked. He got these are all charges grand theft
of emergency medical equipment, burglar, have authorized, Oh my gosh,
there's so many Resisting an officer without violence, et cetera.
He immediately was arrested. He's in the pokey, so that's

(01:11:58):
where he's off the off the street, and oh my gosh,
Florida man is sentenced for setting an employer's semi truck
on fire at an Omaha airport. Oh my goodness, so
that's a pretty big thing. He twenty seven years old.
Kevin Catie was sentenced to five years in prison three
year supervised release for malicious use of explosive materials. Is

(01:12:22):
there any other So he disconnected his semi trucks tracking
advice so his employer couldn't track him, and then he
parked it in an airfield and yeah, he legit blew
it up. Firefighters had to come extinguish it. Third hour

Speaker 12 (01:13:54):
We're talking about the issue in preemptive pardons to these people.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
But was he aware of the his signature being used
on every single parton That's a question.

Speaker 13 (01:14:02):
You should ask the Biden.

Speaker 9 (01:14:03):
Why any evidence on that that he wasn't aware of it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
You're a reporter, you should find out.

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
Sean, Yeah, that's I actually like that, that's true. That's
what you do.

Speaker 5 (01:14:12):
Oh wait, I mean if you started your career rewriting
aggregate stories for Daily call and I like Daily Caller,
but they I mean there's an aggregation aspect of digital journalism,
then maybe investigative journalism, you know, isn't your thing. If
you just get like stuff from producers.

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
I don't know. There's a lot of people in the
news like that.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
They just like get handed packets by producers and they
aren't actually going to investigate. That has to change. Welcome
back to the program. Dana Lash with you top of
this third hour on St. Patti's Day and got a
lot of stuff to discuss. Chats at Rumble Channel through
forty seven DIRECTI if you don't forget the podcast, which
is the archive. So the question of well you're a reporter,

(01:14:53):
that's what reporters do. Reporters are just like, we don't know,
we don't know anything. They've forgotten how to report, they've
forgotten how to investigate they or did they they just
didn't want to if it because if it's not there,
then it doesn't exist. If they didn't, if they didn't
investigate it and get evidence of it, then there's nothing
for them to report on. Then Democrats didn't do anything bad.

(01:15:14):
That's kind of like my thinking on it, Right, that's
sort of why wouldn't you be interested in that? I mean,
the story here is the autopin story. You guys are
aware of this, right, the whole autopen I've got a
pin the uh, I don't know. They're now they're investigating
because they there was the question of is Biden of

(01:15:34):
sound mind? Even like with the pardons, is he of
sound mind to do this? They found that he used
an autopin on like a good number of things. Right,
how many of the pardons did he use an autopin on?

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Like a lot a lot?

Speaker 7 (01:15:51):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
Trump had posted and said that they are hereby declared
void vacant. This is capslock, void, vacant, and of no
further or effect. And apparently so he's saying that he didn't.
Trump says that that Biden didn't know anything about them.
I don't know if a president can revoke a pardon

(01:16:13):
once it's been issued. This has to do with Article two,
Section two of the Constitution, And I don't know, I
don't know if there's like legal precedent on that. It
just says this just says he shall power to grant
reprieves or pardons for offenses against the United States except
in cases of impeachment. They have the issue of Bush

(01:16:35):
revoking his own pardon over a guy. I think Red
State had a story on Robert Tussey a conviction making
false statements to.

Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
Hud Bush revoked that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:45):
But that's the same president who issued that pardon who
revoked it. So I don't know the legal precedent of that.
But well, Rain's done. She's looked at some of this
and says that a lot of this signatures don't look
matchy matchie.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
It is kind of weird.

Speaker 5 (01:17:02):
He did sign the pardon for Hunter that was that
was an auto penned, but.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:17:10):
The signatures are kind of weird looking, you know. I mean,
there's a lot of like the Apparently some of the
pardons were signed on January nineteenth, twenty twenty five. The
signers certified that they were signed in d C. Except
Biden wasn't in DC on January nineteen, twenty twenty five.

(01:17:36):
Why did they say they were certified d C. One
reporter said that that day, that's when Biden was in
South Carolina. He was at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church
in North Charleston with Clyburn, and he was doing that
as it was a thank you visit to cliburne because

(01:17:58):
remember Cliburn made Joe Biden Cliburn delivered South Carolina.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
We've talked about that quite a bit.

Speaker 5 (01:18:05):
So I don't know, I I I just I don't
know about the precedent for that. And then it does
bring up questions did he even know? Did he even
I mean, if they just had an autopen and they're
just you know, Willy Nilling signing signing everything, I'm just
I'm just.

Speaker 4 (01:18:24):
Curious as to how that works.

Speaker 5 (01:18:27):
So but then the media being told, well, you know,
you're a reporter, why don't you find this stuff out?

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:18:35):
I don't think that. I think the question is whether
or not Biden was aware of it. Now I'm of
the mind I think you need hard evidence of those
first that he was.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
And I do think you have to have hard evidence.

Speaker 6 (01:18:47):
How do you get hard evidence that he was?

Speaker 4 (01:18:49):
I don't know. That's the thing. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
I can't but you can't say because a lot of
things use autopen, like mortgage. I mean, there's like important time.
I mean, you know what what are you going to say?
What are you going to say?

Speaker 7 (01:18:58):
It?

Speaker 6 (01:18:58):
The location matter, if you say, if you're on a
legal document, whether it's a mortgage or just a.

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
Simple past caveat.

Speaker 6 (01:19:05):
Sales contract, the location matters. You can actually legally get
out of a contract if it's proven you weren't in
the area that the document says you were in when
at the time it was signed.

Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
I agree, just the way it is, I agree. I'm
curious about this.

Speaker 6 (01:19:24):
There's no way to prove whether or not he was
or wasn't. I mean, there's a way to prove he
was aware, but there's no way to prove he wasn't aware.

Speaker 5 (01:19:32):
There's a video that I just saw, actually, i'm looking
at it now where they somebody took all of his
signatures and they're morphing it to his actual real signature.
I could honestly watch that video for quite It's fascinating.

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
I'm like, all the autopinin ones are exactly the same,
and then the one for Hunter is obviously his signature
in real life.

Speaker 5 (01:19:52):
Interesting. That's uh, I mean, I'm fine. Why isn't the
press interested in this? Oh, for the same reason they
weren't interested in any of the COVID stuff. Can we
touch on this? The New York Times headline, I could
just punch someone in the face over I really could.
I know that you guys saw this. The audacity of
this piece from the New York Times quote we were

(01:20:14):
badly misled about the event that changed our lives, they said,
we were badly misled.

Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Of course, it's about coronavirus. The woohoo.

Speaker 5 (01:20:26):
Here is an actual sentence from this New York Times piece.

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
Quote.

Speaker 5 (01:20:33):
Yet, in twenty twenty, when people started speculating that a
laboratory accident might have been the spark that started the
COVID nineteen pandemic, they were treated like cooks and Crankskin
who treated us like cooks and cranks? The media, the

(01:20:55):
left in the media, same thing, the media, the media,
and obviously it has been unraveled, and now the media
wants to claim that they were misled. We were badly
misled about the origin when you were leading the witch

(01:21:16):
hunt against all of the people who were raising concerns
about this. The New York Times now needs to separate
itself from this. I mean, they literally had headlines where
they were besmirching good people who are asking questions about

(01:21:38):
the origin. They were asking questions about cover ups, they
were asking questions about all.

Speaker 4 (01:21:42):
Of this, and now they want to play victim. They
anybody who.

Speaker 5 (01:21:51):
Actually questioned the narrative that we were given in the
press and asked about any kind of zoonotic origins, they
were treated like witch doctors.

Speaker 4 (01:22:07):
They were treated.

Speaker 9 (01:22:10):
Like I.

Speaker 5 (01:22:13):
Just they were persona on Grada. They can't be allowed
into the conversation, and not even on the origin. I mean,
they went after people like doctor Robert Malone that we
had on Doctor Teslaurie.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
We had our videos pulled.

Speaker 5 (01:22:27):
From YouTube censored because we asked questions on this program.
I mean, it's it was censorship, and we know it
was censorship at the highest levels. And now they want
to act as though that, oh, well, we you know,

(01:22:49):
we were misled. We see we got duped too. That's
how they're I feel like they're trying to act like, no,
we're victims, like you, we were so misled, you know
what's next, Like, we were so misled. You know, women
can't actually be men and men can't have babies. We

(01:23:09):
were so misled, Like what's next.

Speaker 6 (01:23:11):
Well, you heard what they did with the vaccine that
the media was even putting out, well, no one was
forced to take the VAXX. Nobody was forced.

Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
They weren't.

Speaker 5 (01:23:19):
But here's this headline. Senator Tom Cotton repeats fringe theory
of coronavirus origins. If you looked up like fringe and
coronavirus in the New York Times and in their search option,
I mean, there's so many headlines that pop up over that.
I mean, and this was a legitimate and taking something
now that we accept as truth because the evidence supports it.

(01:23:42):
Everybody had evidence, Sherry based suspicions in the beginning that
were immediately discounted in favor of the political narrative that
they wanted to spend that they wanted to spend. And
for them to try to write on this and act like, oh,
we were You weren't misled. You misled people. You were
your reporters. And this goes back to what we opened

(01:24:03):
the program with.

Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
You are the media.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Your job is to your entire the purpose of your
existence is to question government, is to question elected officials,
is to question bureaucrats.

Speaker 4 (01:24:20):
That's your entire existence.

Speaker 5 (01:24:24):
If there was misleading, you misled, you weren't misled, You
just swallowed it and took it at face value because
it was easier for your political bottom line to do so.
They didn't want to fall out of favor with the
powers that be by asking questions. That's what the left does,

(01:24:45):
and the left is you know, the media is part
of it. They don't ask questions anymore. Merely asking a
question is a sign of betrayal. Someone is not accepting
the narrative. They're not swallowing their narrative pill they're asking
a question. That means they're not on the same page.
Thus they are the enemy. That's how it's viewed. So

(01:25:06):
questions aren't even allowed. There's no intellectual curiosity. Whatever they
said went, and you are to accept it now now
because it doesn't cost any political capital for them, they
can act like, oh, yeah, we're one of you, we're
questioning this. We were all misled. No, you misled people.

(01:25:28):
We were the people that you tried to mislead, and
when you couldn't mislead us, you wanted to impugne our
characters and thereby taint any kind of association in the
minds of anyone else that was still maybe making up
their minds.

Speaker 4 (01:25:44):
I mean, they went.

Speaker 5 (01:25:45):
After the best doctors in the world, the best medical experts,
the best professionals. They persecuted the media story after story
about these people. Now they want to act like they're
one of us. No, you don't get to do that
badly misled. Spare me with all of this. There's there's
that's what. I think that that exchange was a very

(01:26:08):
good exchange. And I like Levitt's response. You're the reporter.
That's your job. You investigate this stuff. Why The bigger
question is why isn't the press interested in investigating things
from the government. Remember like the olden days of the
old gumshoe reporter, that's gone. Nobody nobody wants to ask

(01:26:29):
those questions anymore. Everybody just wants a stupid, insipid hot take.
They want a part of that attention economy, but they
don't care about investigating anything. You know why, Partly because
there's no rewards in it. There's no rewards in it.
The only reason The New York Times is doing this
now is to save their ass.

Speaker 4 (01:26:46):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
They're they're they're trying to act like, oh no, no,
we're still reputationally clean. You can still trust us, you
can still subscribe, But we know that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
It's they were part of the problem.

Speaker 5 (01:27:00):

A man was set on fire in Time Times Square,
surprisingly leaving him horrifically by you know. He was apparently
a dude torch to guy in Times Square early Sunday.
It was a horrific attack.

Speaker 4 (01:28:37):
It was an ex used uh he used an accelerant
off of a food cart. Golly, the guy looks horrible.
He looks so oh my god. I didn't want to
sit the photo.

Speaker 5 (01:28:46):
The search for the attacker continues. He apparently knew the
victim grabs something containing flammable liquid off in nearby cart,
used it to torch the forty five year old man
just before four am. I mean the guy was standing
standing on the show Sywalk shirt was huddled in a
blue bank blanket. I mean, he is burning pretty bad
and they had him in an ambulance. The footage also

(01:29:10):
showed cops talking to a female companion and the victim.
But they're searching for this person who did It's just horrible.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
New York City. We're gonna have to do New York City. Man.

Speaker 5 (01:29:21):
A guy was caught in a viral video calmly eating
a raw dead rat on a busy sidewalk.

Speaker 4 (01:29:29):
In broad daylight.

Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
Guys, zombie movies begin this way.

Speaker 4 (01:29:38):
This is literally how it happens.

Speaker 5 (01:29:40):
He's on a bronx sidewalk and he picks it up
and just starts gnawing on it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
It is one of the nets.

Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
I can't, dude, I can't even I'm done with the
story because it's so I mean the video someone was
recording it and they zoomed in and it's horrible. I
gotta move because I'm gonna get so sick reading the story.
I'm not even kidding you. Apparently walking backwards could be
exercised that you need. They're saying that there's a benefit.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:30:07):
I mean maybe for balance, but there's a million things
that you can do for that. Right coming up, we've
got Steven Ace is going to be joining us. Domes
Gold Prices have surged over forty percent since January twenty
twenty four, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research,
the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong
demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made

me take action and why I've bought precious metals like
gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple.

at the bottom of this third hour. Now this thing
has gone fast, Sat Patty's say, has gone fast, and
of course channel through forty seven DirecTV rumbles where.

Speaker 4 (01:31:28):
The chat is.

Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
I always love having our guest Steven Yates on because
he's always from some weird bunker somewhere, probably like he's
probably like in some sort of like dwarven Mine, like
the Minds of Mori or something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:41):
That's what I imagine. He tells.

Speaker 5 (01:31:44):
He's a very important guy and he knows a lot
of people. Stephn Yates at yates Comm's on ex senior
Research fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
He joins us now via Skype. Goodness, see you, my friend.

Speaker 5 (01:31:54):
I've got it immediately, because I know we always we
for those who don't know mystery. Yates in not one
but two presidential administrations, and he is the leading expert
on China, geopolitical.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
Foe all of this.

Speaker 5 (01:32:08):
But I also, I mean he follows other foreign policy stuff.
I'm really eager to get his opinion on this magical
delivery that happened overnight to that beautiful El Salvadorian prison
two planefuls of trend Aragua and MS thirteen gangbangers that
were taken to their beautiful new accommodation. Steven, I mean

(01:32:28):
luxury accommodations, as we all know. Just wanted to get
your quick thing, your quick thoughts on that well.

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
Number one. Since we've had a lot of talk in
recent weeks about people saying thank you in foreign policy,
this is a time when all Americans can actually say
thank you, sincerely, from all of America to one of
our neurobroad neighbors for actually stepping into the breach. Yeah,
and sort of stepping over the absolute insanity of low

(01:32:57):
level left wing judges and weirdos in the media and
others that wanted to say, let's keep the murderers, rapists
and gang bangers and let's give them constitutional rights. Here
the president of this beautiful country with the world's best
prison for bad guys. He basically said, oh, too late,
We've already got him. And I just thought it was

(01:33:19):
one of the most beautiful pieces of diplomacy that actually
honors the slogan of making America safe again. We contrast
it with bussing and flying people into major cities around
the United States without even notifying governors that it was
happening to work, and none of these judges were blocking.

Speaker 4 (01:33:41):
That right right to this.

Speaker 7 (01:33:43):
This was just why I just.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
Say thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:33:46):
Want is showing everyone on the sinlecast. This is how
El Salvador greeted them. Now, the difference is in the
United States, and you can see they sent out all
these I mean, this is crazy, all of these military vehicles.
They had two planefuls of these guys in the United States.
They were walking around freely on our street. El Salvador

(01:34:07):
would not even let them get freely of their own
will off of the plane. They escorted each one of
them down the steps. That's the difference, is it? Because
Al Salvador recognizes how dangerous these guys are.

Speaker 4 (01:34:20):
I mean, what's the difference. That's crazy?

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Well, that's right. Well, And the other thing is, I
mean they know that you have to establish control and
dominance when you're dealing with wild, murderous, insane gangs. So yeah,
they had them cuffed and shackled, They had them one
on one walked, They had them pushed with their face
down because you don't get the dignity of holding your

(01:34:45):
head up. Why right now, this every element of this
has been thought through, and these guys all deserve all
of it.

Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
Why can't other leaders be like El Salvador's leader. I mean,
we had to threaten Columbia with tariffs, and I mean,
granted it was in an afternoon, but we had to
get mean with them. Why can't every other country just
be like El Salvador was, like, we get it, there beout.
We'll repatriate them in our beautiful, accommodating prison.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
We'll do.

Speaker 5 (01:35:12):
That's what is the difference with El Salvador's leader and
everybody else.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
Well. Al Salvador is to law enforcement and security, as
Argentina has been to countering inflation. The two leaders have
done things that people said could never be done, weren't possible,
and they ran on getting a mandate to do exactly this.
Each of their countries were out of control in these

(01:35:39):
various areas, and they haven't really given two licks what
anyone wanted to say about it. They knew that their families,
their neighborhoods, their very country's future depended on doing this,
and they're that serious about it. And so in this case,
public security was a number one. And so we have
an example of a leader who was elected with him

(01:36:00):
mandate did it, and now they see it works and
people can actually go out to the public square and
El Salvador, they can resume family life and church life.
They can actually be a functioning community and a country.
Now that they have this and they've done it so well,
we can outsource some of this. And it's not like
we're outsourcing our criminals. These were people that were never

(01:36:22):
meant to be in our country in the first place.
This is outsourcing what Venezuela should have been doing to
a country in Central America that's ready to step up.

Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
I want to switch gears here talking with our friend
Steve and Yates at Yates comes on X and ask
you about the Houthis and Yemen, because you've been saying
everybody needs to watch Yemen. You've been saying that for years,
and now we have this, you know, the Iranian back group,
the Houthis, which are threatening to destabilize that whole, very
important waterway going out of the Red Seat in the

(01:36:51):
Gulf of Aiden. We have our response to it. Trump's response.
I mean, I thought, if you're going after our vessels
and you are endangering an artery of energy, and I
get the people who say that, well, we just need
to do more here domestically, and I completely agree with that,
But in the meantime, you can't just like cut off
one of your arms while you know, I get it,

(01:37:13):
But the hoo thies, I feel. They put this video
out and I know you saw it where they had
these like it was like the coral draw level like
graphics of these coffins with the American flags on them
floating in the water.

Speaker 4 (01:37:26):
It was just real goofy.

Speaker 5 (01:37:27):
But then when I read one reply or one quote
from one of the naval commanders regarding that Harry as Truman,
they were saying, now, well, the who these other kind
of you they tried to attack?

Speaker 4 (01:37:40):
We didn't even notice. How are they really grade them?

Speaker 7 (01:37:44):
Like?

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
What is their threat?

Speaker 5 (01:37:45):
Are they really able to destabilize that much there? That's
the first part, And the second is the US isn't
the only entity they're policing that area?

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
Are we?

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
No? But there are layers of things that are happening
with this. First and foremost, you know that great neo
conservative known as George Washington. I think the original restrictionist
was an advocate for America actually exercising power at times
to deal with things like piracy, and if you read
some of the debates among the founding fathers, this is

(01:38:18):
why we had the birth of a navy early in
our country's existence. And so at the very very least,
this is a vital waterway that what the Yemen forces
are doing at the very least is piracy. I would
argue it's also terrorism, and there's this problem of the
links to Iran. But the at first this is is

(01:38:40):
America going to punch back when someone engages in piracyre
or worse against our forces? And so we know what happened.
There can be any amount of bravado or dismissiveness from
someone in the armed forces. They're free to take whatever
posture they want. But if your commander in chief, if

(01:39:00):
you've got a mosquito that's biting you, you want to
swat them with something bigger. So the mosquitoes go to
a different host. And so I think that this was
prudent use of force. I don't think this is going
to be invade, occupy nation, build territories. We're not playing
in that ground. And it does kind of remind Iran

(01:39:21):
you'd better start dealing or you know, these proxies of
yours are running out, and once we get somewhere with
Gaza and we get the houtis in a box, well
then we're going to be looking at not war with Iran,
but we're going to have that maximum pressure back up.

Speaker 4 (01:39:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39:40):
So I think there's a lot of things going on
at once with this, But this I think is quintessential Trump.
It's like when he launched cruise missiles to kill Russians
in Syria. It's not a war, but it's using warfare
to let people know where American interests are. Now.

Speaker 5 (01:39:54):
I don't see the problem with you know, striking back
at these rubble force Iranian back rubble forces for trying
to harm our ships or our supply routes. I mean,
I mean that's one of that's one of the reasons
why we have our again. And you made a great
point talking and going all the way back to the
founders of the Barbary Pirates. I mean, there's a reason,
you know, the shores of Tripoli that whole. I mean,
that's that's historically base to have that. There are some

(01:40:17):
who brought up and I understand what they're saying, although
I don't entirely agree with it, because I think we
should be protecting, you know, our our ships, our security,
our people. But some are saying, well, you know China,
they ship through there, their Saudi Arabia, where the Saudis
helping to police this, where's China. We shouldn't do anything
that helps a geopolitical enemy that helps out China without them.

(01:40:39):
I do agree with that, with the China part of it.
What do you say to to I think Thomas Massey
brought that up on X.

Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
Yeah, well, I don't think he has a complete picture
on this. With all due respect or maybe not all
due respect, the Saudis actually are doing a lot, The
Amoradis are doing a lot. And these are allies that
are working with the United States to get us out
of wars. We're already in on terms that are acceptable
to our national interests, and so from time to time

(01:41:07):
we're still there. And anyone that wants to take a
quick geography lesson and look at what the shipping route
is to go around the Horn of Africa and back
up to the United States versus going through those troubled
waterways and coming out the other side and just going
across the North Atlantic. I mean, it's simple math. And
when you're shipping trillions of dollars worth of goods. It

(01:41:29):
adds up, and so we don't have to do everything
just about the money. But it's not like we're absent
our own interests in this. And like I say, we're
not engaging in invasion, occupation, nation building, any of that stuff.
So I thought this was reasonable cooperation with those allies.
But I'm very open to the idea to press those
in the region who have the wealth and have a

(01:41:52):
closer and more proximate interest. Yeah, they should be doing more.
We say that to the Europeans, we should say it
to our friends and the Gulf too.

Speaker 5 (01:42:00):
I wanted to bring up this headline as well. This
will be my last thing I bring up with your
good friend Stephen Yates. This surprised me. First off, it
surprised me that the EU invited Jijienping to this summit
they were marking the fiftieth anniversary. I get it that
EU China diplomatic tized. I don't know why the EU
is trying to normalize anything with Jjenping, but they declined it.

(01:42:22):
According to Financial Times, why did they decline that.

Speaker 1 (01:42:26):
Well, there might have been a little bit of a
protocol game where they send a different official. I haven't
really been able to run the ground who exactly went
to Did they just skip the whole thing altogether? I
think though the lead in still holds. There's too many
people in Europe who keep playing these weird games about
somehow America is attacking democracy and freedom and retreating from

(01:42:47):
the world, and so maybe we should make friends with China.
Oh you mean the people who have made Russia's invasion
of Ukraine literally more feasible and protracted over multiple years,
helped Ron and Russia get around sanctions. Oh you want
to warm up with those guys. Yeah, that's big thinking
from Europe. So there's still a lot of that stink

(01:43:08):
and thinking that's got to get cleared out over there.
But they're definitely balancing, and they're playing this game of
the US is going to pick on us on some things,
going to cut us out of some things, and we're
going to engage with China sometimes. So we're gon we'll
have some sorting out to do. But I wouldn't fret
too much about bureaucrats actually doing much.

Speaker 5 (01:43:28):
Okay, I just saw that and I thought, WHOA, that's interesting.
I got to ask Gates about that. Steven Yates at Yates,
Comm's always so good to talk with you, my friend.
We are so grateful that you're so generous with your
time with us every week.
