(00:01):
Tens of millions of people's debt wasliterally about to get canceled. But then
some of my Republican friends elected officialsand special interest suitors and the Supreme Court
blocked us. But that didn't well, that didn't stop us. No,
I mean its necessarily we continue tofind alternatives past to reduce student debt payment.
I you know, I tell youthis, the student loan whatever this

(00:26):
is that they're trying that he's he'spushing again. This is the third installment
of this, and the it's thethird installment of it. And I just
I saw I saw this this morning. His his tweet about this, where

(00:47):
he said that he was, youknow, this is the third It's it's
more student loan debt forgiveness is howhe put it. It's student loan debt
forgiveness. And the way that hewas writing about it, it was like
it was a gift to him,that from him, that nobody it just
the money comes from the ether,like nobody pays for it. And he's

(01:11):
like it's a big deal. Biden'snew student loan forgiveness plan could erase up
to twenty thousand dollars an interest formillions of borrowers, and he's like,
it's a big deal. So myquestion is, because it's it's tax season.
You know, it's tax season.It's tax month. It's the month
that I hate more than I'm ina horrible mood this whole month. Why,

(01:38):
I mean, if people don't haveto pay loans that they willingly sign
for, then why should any ofus consent to income theft or force full
taxation, which is the same thing, to subsidize this welfare scheme. Because
it's a welfare scheme. That's that'swhat this is. It's welfare. And

(02:02):
I'm just I'm so infuriated. Idon't know. People are like, well,
it would be forgiveness for the studentloan interest. Like I have people
telling me this, Who do youthink pays for this? Who pays for
this? Who pays for it?Right? Well, it's people who I

(02:25):
actually had someone say this, Julie, it would be forgiveness for the student
loan interest. Who pays for it? Right? Who pays for it?
If you're not paying for it,then don't take out the damn loan.
You're grifting welfare ass. Don't takeout the damn loan. Otherwise I'm gonna

(02:46):
claim all y' all my taxes.I'm so tired of this. There is
such an economic illiteracy in this country. The people who are like, well,
it's just for the interest, Idon't care what it's for. You
should have taken the loan. Well, it's not my fault that, yes,
actually it is. Who did youvote for? Who you've been voting

(03:06):
for? Who do you sit hereand tweet for? Who do you tweet
for? Democrats? Guess what Democratsdid. They nationalized student loans. They
literally took the entire student loan industryand they took it over. So everybody
who've been voting Democrat, y'all votedfor that. You voted literally to help

(03:28):
increase the cost of college. Yousanctioned it, you voted for it.
Don't you be turning around and askingall of us to then pay for it.
I get so aggravated about this,Like, well, Dina, it's
nothing. You know, people havebeen faithfully and you know they've been faithfully

(03:50):
doing this, et cetera. They'vebeen paying for their That's again not my
problem. Welcome to the show,Dana, Lash here with you. We
are at the top of this firsthour, and this is as I put
in the subsec newsletter. If youget that, the subsect newsletter that go
chapter and verse, that goes outevery morning, you guys get all of

(04:12):
that. I just I get soaggravated about this because some of us work
really really hard. We work reallyhard. They I mean, I don't
think people understand who are who don'twork hard? How hard people who work
hard work and then to be toldthat we owe it to someone to pay

(04:32):
off their debts. Then you're gonnahave to pay off my mortgage. I
don't have any other debt. That'sthe thing. If I don't have the
cash for it, I don't buyit. I don't have credit card debt.
I do not have credit card debt. The literal only debt I have
is I have And the only reasonI haven't paid my mortgage off is for
tax purposes, for tax cut purposes. Otherwise I wouldn't have any debt.

(04:55):
If I don't have cash for it, I don't purchase it. I have
my savings. I do exactly whatI'm supposed to do. I put money
back every month. If I donot have money for it, I don't
pay for it. That's for anything. If it's a vacation, if it's
a trip, if it's an itemthat you know, it's just like a
discretionary item, I want to buy. Whatever it is, I don't buy
it. I do not believe inaccruing debt. I think it's irresponsible.

(05:23):
Sometimes you have to when you havethis government that we have the inflation period,
the inflationary period that is not transitory. But at the same time,
I don't as someone who went tocollege, and I really I reject this
whole argument from people when they actas though times are so different, like

(05:45):
I'm barely a gen xer. Myhusband and I argue this all the time
because he tries to gate keep forgen X and he argues and he's like,
here's just an old millennial. I'llcut you in your sleep. That
ain't gonna happen. That's the quickestway to die. That is the quickest
way to ensure your debt is tosay something done like that to me.
You ain't the gatekeeper for that.It's not like the olden days, guys,

(06:11):
that college was still super expensive.It was super expensive because we live
in a society that's nootty and theylook down on, you know, blue
collar jobs. That's the way itis. But now you have so you
have so many options. There areso many options. You have trade schools,
you have all kinds of schools thatyou can go into. But but
people are conditioned to think that theyhave to go particularly just super fancy ivy

(06:35):
League universities and and pay an exorbitantamount of money and then they come out
with like a degree in women's studiesor some stupid nonsense, and you don't
you don't have to do that.And now there's certain things I think you
should go to college for. Ifyou're going into like law, if you're
going into medicine, if you're goinginto you know, a field that actually

(06:56):
requires that kind of that context interms of learning, then yeah, I
think that there are some instances wherecollege is beneficial. But people think that
it's like the next step in schoolor the next step in adulthood, and
that's not necessarily true. What alot of people honestly use it for as
status. They use it for status, They use it for status, and
they use it to have their kidsnetwork and then their kids network with people

(07:18):
and their socioeconomic group. And that'sultimately like literally the top reason why people
do it's that's it. God's honeis true. That's why people do it,
and you all know it's true.And then they accrue all of this,
you know, all of this debt. It's not my responsibility to pay

(07:38):
for it. It's not your responsibilityto pay for it either. And this
idea that somehow it's old or it'sforgiveness, it's you know, we're all
paying for it. I went andI went through college, and if I
couldn't do it, then I didn'tpay for it. And I barely scrape
by. I worked two jobs,you know, I started. I started

(08:01):
in the service industry, very humblebeginning, and I worked my way up.
And people act like you don't havethose same opportunities. It's not a
question of whether or not you havethe opportunity, it's a question of whether
you want to get off your assand work. I'm quite honestly, I
think that there's a major problem withsome gen z today particularly, and that

(08:22):
they don't want to work. Notall, but I've seen it firsthand.
There are some people who just don'twant to work, They don't want to
put the time in. There arepeople in their younger millennials too, that
are like this. I was talkingto a friend of mine who is like
two years younger than me, andshe's considered a millennial, although she rages
and she says she's gen X andI gatekeep and I say, no,

(08:43):
you're not. But she runs anoffice setting, right I'm not gonna get
too specific about it because it'll giveit away right away. But when they
brought in, she's not responsible forthe hiring, but she's responsible for you
know. I mean, she sheruns particular department and so she'll get people
in. She said that she gotan older gen Z person and then she

(09:05):
got a millennial, like a youngmillennial in and immediately they were like,
with the days off and how manybreaks and what do we get? And
I cannot believe. I really haveto work till five o'clock. I have
to work till five o'clock. Ihave to get in at se I have
to get in at seven forty five, eight o'clock, and I have to
work till five. They were shocked, shocked, like they didn't think that

(09:26):
that's how the real world worked.Everyone thinks that they're like these influencer hours
that you just show up and youwork whenever you want to and that's not
the case, and she's at herwits end. She's so and if she
assigns tasks, she says, ofeveryone, these two individuals, she's like,
the older millennials, it's not thatbig of a deal. She was

(09:46):
like with the younger millennials and theold gen Z, She's like, these
two people just have an episode everysingle time. You know, when I'm
assigning tasks to be completed, whenthere are projects that need to be done,
She's like, in heaven forbid,if there's overtime, should they act
like overtime is some is some sortof you know, labor abuse. It's
weird. I think that there's likea generational difference because people think that they

(10:11):
watch social media and they think thateverybody keeps these influencer hours, and they
don't. Not everyone can be aninfluencer. It's oversaturated already. There are
people who are like, yeah,I want to be an Instagram influencer.
That's like, I don't get thepeople who go I want to go into
politics. Have you met these people? I run into this all the time
in my industry, and it bogglesmy mind, quite frankly. All I

(10:35):
meet so many young people that say, oh, yeah, we're going to
go We're going to get a degreein this. We're going into politics.
I'm like, what do you meanyou're going into politics? Will, I'm
going into being a politician. Iactually had someone say that exact sentence to
me. You're going into being apolitician. So you just want to be
on the government tea. But you'reacting like it's virtuous because it's an elected

(10:56):
office. Then, right, youbasically going to be on the government doll.
You're going to be a dependent ofthe taxpayer, but you're acting like
it's virtuous because it's an elected office. And then you're acting like there's an
additional level of virtue because you wantit you because you're a Republican. So
you think that inoculates you from ridicule. I didn't. I The parents weren't

(11:20):
that big of a fan of me. After that, By the way,
I should disclose it. It wasit a meet and Greet. Caine's just
so happy with us. It wasit a meet and greet. I had
someone tell me that, I'm like, okay, root awakening here. I'm
gonna just be honest with you.What you see is what you get with
me. I'm not gonna send yourkisher ask just because we meet in person.
It's just not the way it isto the to the horror of all
my syndicators and sales department and everythingelse, what you see is what you

(11:43):
get. I'm the realest person onair. And I looked at this person
and I'm like, you're going intobeing a politician? Did I get that
right? And they go yeah,And I said, this is the dumbest
thing I've ever heard. So canI be frank with you? I'm like,
clearly, you guys know me wellenough. And I was like,
on Mom and Dad, clearly youknow me well enough. I'm like,
politics is a consequence of living rightelected government and the responsibilities of government.

(12:11):
That's a consequence of people who areproductive and contribute to society. In the
very beginning and the founding of thiscountry, you had business owners and farmers
and bankers and everybody else, andall of these people who got together and
they were contributing something positive to society. And then and it was considered a
burden, much like jury duty.Then they would serve a couple of years

(12:31):
in elected office and it was ahardship on them. And then they came
back and they went back to theirwork. Nowadays, people skip the whole
I'm going to contribute to society andthey go right for the teat, They
go right for elected office. GoI go, pray, Toll. What
are you bringing to this? Whatare you bringing to politics that you want
to go into Are you bringing yourbusiness acumen? Are you bringing your understanding

(12:56):
of agriculture and the way that thattrade works? Are you bringing your understanding
of monetary policy? Like? Whatactual skill are you bringing other than coming
from wealthy parents who are paying foryou to get a degree so that you
can skip all the hard work andgo right into being an elected official.
And they just looked at me likestunned. They were stunned. I guess

(13:18):
they thought I was going to applaudit and be like, yay, No,
I'm not going to. I thinkit's the stupidest thing ever. And
I think if you're a parent that'stelling your child to grow up and be
a politician, you're an abusive moronand you should be barred from having more
children. That's stupid. You're addingpeople to the government teat. It's ridiculous.
So I don't know, I don'tknow what ended up happening to that
individual. I wouldn't vote for anybodylike that. What are you bringing to

(13:41):
the table. That's like, like, let's just get into all of it.
Because it's a randy day here inTexas. That's like what I get
from these like red pill non treadinfluencers. They're always single and childless and
they want to lecture you about howto raise kids in successful marriages. But
my whole point in that is wehave a wrong perspective, a jacked up
perspective at looking at higher education,and Joe Biden's feeding all into it.

(14:05):
We're going to talk about this.We're going to talk about the fight in
the House because Mike Johnson is gettinga lot of criticism. It's veteran owned,
veteran run and they hire veterans andactive duty and they also support our
first responder, serving premium coffee topeople who love America. So unlike a
lot of the look, I'm goingto tell you, I really think that
there's like this effort to go afterBlack Rifle Coffee from like the Starbuts and

(14:26):
all of that out there because BlackRifle Coffee is mainstreaming two things. They're
mainstreaming you know, support of USAAmerican Pride, but they're also mainstreaming Second
Amendment stuff. I mean it's literallycalled black Rifle coffee. And they just
happen to make amazing coffee because it'sa bunch of dorks who love coffee.
I mean, I love all ofthem, you know, I'm not.
I don't use it as a pejorative, but they're really bougie about their coffee

(14:46):
without the bougie prices. I mean, these are excellently roasted coffee beans.
They get the best beans, theybring them to the US of A,
and they roast them for what fivesix days a week at their facilities in
Utah and in Tennessee, and thenthey ship it right to your door.
And if you're remember the Coffee Club, you get free shipping, so you
can pick your roast, your frequencyof shipment, and it shows up at

(15:07):
your door so you never run outof coffee. And they have ground whole
bean k cups ready to drink everytype of coffee and way to adjust it.
They have it, and they haveI mean, just again, amazing
roast profiles. They also have likethe grinders and the mugs and the cuttles,
everything you need for a great,perfect brew. So try for yourself

American jobs are good, bad,and ugly. Don't look at that headline
number that the politicians are spewing onTV. Although more Americans are employed,
they're all working for the government.Even worse, most of them are part

(15:50):
time employees. Check out The Watchdogon Wall Street, podcasts on Apple,
Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts, and now all of the news you
would probably it's time for Dana's quickfive. Let's see her. Sorry,
I got hammered with a bunch ofemails. Right, we're like in text
right when the show's starting. Wegot our headline segment. So first and

(16:11):
foremost, like I said, we'regoing to talk about this house fight over
FISA, because that's part of it. The house is looking and they're going
to be debating all of the Pizasstuff coming up, and we're going to
deep dive on that. If youlooked at the sun apparently why did you
do that? And your eyes areprobably damaged. So I saw this on

(16:34):
X last night that apparently searches forwhy do my eyes hurt so bad?
I looked at the eclipse. Theyincreased like three hundred percent. Adults are
aging faster and facing a higher riskof cancer. But it's not the vaccine
that's According to a new study postedby MSN NO, we are not dangerously

(16:56):
close to the next pandemic. Stopwith the bird flu, and people born
after nineteen sixty five are likely tohave a more advanced biological age. It's
very interesting. Stick with us ourpartners for this portion of our program.
Our friends at Patriot Mobile, theonly Christian conservative cell phone service that's out
there. And I know a lotof people say, well, I don't
like to use this, sir,I'm not going to use this service because

(17:17):
they support leftist issues or this.If you say that but you haven't switched
your cell phone service, you probablyare either unaware or maybe you don't care
how much your cell phone service,if it's not Patriot Mobile, how much
money they're actually donating to the issuesthat you vote against. DEI, Second
Amendment abridgments, all of that stuff. Abortion, on demand, taxpayer funded.

(17:38):
They're donating lots of money to thoseissues to advocate for those issues and
get those passed. So this iswhy you need to make the switch,
because your cell phone. Think abouthow much use your cell phone for,
not just getting not just getting onFacebook or X or social media. I
use it really I do a lotof work on my cell phone, and
I mean goodness. You can useit as a remote, you can use
it all kinds of stuff. Sothis is why you need to switch.

(18:00):
Patriot Mobile the only Christian conservative wirelessprovider for ten years now. I've never
ever in my life had an issuewith the service. I have traveled halfway
around the globe, never had aninterruption, never had an issue. I'm
like in Italy, never having anissue. I'm on a boat somewhere out
in the Atlantic, never having anissue. That's how great Patriot Mobile is.

(18:21):

out the best highlights from every showand Dana's Absurd Truth podcast posted daily from
The Dana Show. I would loveto have abortion on every state ballot in
America. This is an opportunity forus to be heard. Now the state

(19:08):
starts on New York State. We'reprotected here in the state of New York.
I'm the first female governor of NewYork. I'm the first governor of
New York who's actually been pregnant,someone who didn't even know I was pregnant
for the first few months. Sothis sixth week is absurd. But doc
okay, I got to question that. First off, Welcome back to the
program, Dana Lash with You.That's Kathy Hochele who's talking about a six

(19:30):
week abortion ban. The Democrats areso desperately trying to get Republicans on this
and Republicans aren't playing ball, sonow they're mad. Kathy hochles like I
didn't even know I was pregnant forthe first few months. I don't get
that. I mean, I understandthat everyone else, everybody has different issues,

(19:51):
but if flow ain't coming every month, then sumthing's up. Do I
need to send you a copy ofAre you there? God? It's me
and Margaret by Judy bloom To thatexplained to you. I'm just curious,
I mean, where does this comeoff? At? A six week abortion

(20:11):
band? Is absurd? You doknow as a woman who's also I can't
stand this. As a governor,the only one who's ever been shut up,
it's a biological function. I celebratelife, but this idea that you're
just trying to get any win thatyou can stop, I can't. I
don't. It just aggravates me.But this is all in response to this

(20:36):
abortion strategy that Democrats now have becausethey're just very you know, it's it's
fascinating because the way that Democrats havebeen reacting to it. They're acting like
we're going back to back alleys.I mean, if you listen to their
rhetoric, it's the craziest thing I'veever heard. No one's saying this stuff,

(21:00):
no one's talking about that. Andthe national issue was solved with Dobbs
versus Jack Jackson. Women's health.Now a couple of things on this,
because there's like two. There's thefirst issue because the abortion. I'm looking
at all the headlines I have onthis. You got this in your newsletter.

(21:22):
There's a lot of them because LindsayGraham is now kind of into it
with Donald Trump on it and theRepublicans that are kind of going back and
forth. I don't know. SoTrumpet said that it should be a states
rights issue and that Republicans also mustwin elections. Graham broke with him on
it, and now and Mike Penceis mad and he came out with his
his thing, Mike Pence, whothe only time that he ever grew a

(21:47):
spine and started arguing was when hewas out of elected office. I mean,
no offense, but that's the truth. I mean, am I am
I supposed to lie about that?Are we all supposed to lie and be
Unchristian by saying that you know theopposite is true? I'm just curious,
but and I'm writing more about thislater over at chapter and verse my substack.

(22:11):
So Trump had said that it shouldbe a state's rights issue. We'll
talk. I want to talk aboutthe messaging on that, because the messaging
is just bad. But Lindsay Grahamyesterday he came out and he had said
that this runs contrary to or hesaid, I respectfully disagree with Trump's statement
that it's a state's rights issue.And he said that it's about the well
being of the unborn child, notgeography. That's all well and good,

(22:33):
And again I'm going to say this, and this is the only other time
I'm going to say this. Discussinga difference in strategy is not a compromise
on life, especially when it's victoryby incrementalism. You're looking at two different
things here that the right is arguingabout. Is it an all or nothing
approach or is it an incrementalist approach? And being an incrementalist approach and getting

(22:56):
more victories does not mean that youare any less committed to life than you
are. If you are all ornothing and you win and you lose like
it's your job, that does notmean that you're any less committed to life.
And I question the faith the characterthe motive and the kindness and spirit
of people who argue otherwise, andI will get nasty with those people because

(23:21):
I can't stand it. It's juststop gatekeeping. There's different strategies here.
Is the point winning? Is thepoint winning to protect life? Because if
it's not, then get out ofthe way. You're you're a turn the
punch bowl of this conversation. That'sit. But it's like people are trying
to on the right, are tryingto do this petty ones up on upsmanship.
And I can't wait until that eraof politics is over. By the

(23:41):
way, it's annoying and it is. It's setting us back in terms of
winning by years now. The announcementitself was it sucked. Trump's announcement sucked.
His messaging sucked. Be honest,I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care. Be honest aboutit. Saying things like abortion rights,

(24:03):
it's not a real thing, sayinggoing out and saying well, it's
the will of the people. Youare begging for, begging to get attacked
by other people on the right.When you say stuff like that, you
don't say well, because then thisis what they're going to respond with.
While you're telling us that life isjust left to the will of the people
though you're voting online. That's notwhat you're doing, but that's what you're

(24:25):
inviting by having reckless, sloppy messaging. And it was sloppy messaging period.
Now I get it. Abortion isnot a big thing with him. He's
been a moderate on it, buthe's administrated conservatively on it. Those two
things are true. He was therewith Roe v. Wade. I mean
the judicial announcement, the judicial appointmentsthat he made helped Shepherd get through.

(24:48):
And the ironies that you couldn't havehad it without Mitch McConnell. I don't
know. It's the craziest thing,but the messaging on this, and I
think it was smart that he's tryingto get ahead of it before this problem
and becomes too big for Republicans.And I think that the position that he's
taking and he's this is what triangulationis. If you want a classic lesson
on what triangulation is, this isit you're doing. You're recognizing the strengths

(25:15):
of two approaches while positioning yourself aboveboth. This is classic triangulation and this
is the right way to do it. The reality of the situation is,
is you live in a country wherepeople are like, okay, fifteen weeks,
that's our general consensus. I getit that there are people and as

(25:36):
somebody defines themselves as pro life,I get it there are people out there
who want all or nothing approach.That's fine, You're not going to win
that way, but I understand thatthat's the position that you want to have.
I understand too that there are peopleout there who liked states rights and
they want to be able to dothis state by state an incrementalist approach.
It doesn't mean that they want tokill babies. It doesn't mean that they

(25:56):
love babies any less than the peoplewho want it all nothing to approach love
babies. It means that they havea different approach to going out and saving
babies, and they think that thisis the most the strongest one, both
politically and legally. So his messaginggot in the way, not too much

(26:17):
in the way, but in theway a little bit. And then you
have Lindsay Graham who goes and arguesa straw man. He goes, I'm
going to continue to advocate there shouldbe a national standard. Now I understand
the right to life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. That's then
our declaration of independence. And youcan pursue happiness and do all this other
stuff without our right to life.I understand that I believe in choice before

(26:38):
conception. That's not what the currentlaw is. So you're working to change
the current law, not operate undera fictitious version of what you think is
the law. Okay, we don'tremember, just we operate in a scientific
world. We have to be verylogical and pragmatic about some of the stuff.
If it's particularly if you want towin, what you want the law

(27:00):
be doesn't necessarily mean that that's whatit is. So you have to work
to change that, and you don'twork to change it by operating outside of
it. So what Lindsey Graham isadvocating for also is a gift to democrats,
because you have a country that stillbelieves in that fifteen week limitation,
and that's obviously more than the sixweek limitation and more than what some others

(27:22):
want. So you got to start, and you got to do it step
by step by step by step.If saving some babies is better than saving
no babies, then I'll take savingsome babies for right now, so I
can save some more babies in thefuture, and then save some more babies
after that. And then you hadMike Pence come out. Oh, Mike

(27:45):
Pence is mad. He came outand he slammed it. He said it
was a slap in the face.He has not endorsed Trump. In twenty
twenty, he came out and saidin a post on x he said,
too many people are ready to washtheir hands of the battle for life.
That does not I feel like that'sa straw man statement, because you're presupposing
that that's exactly what someone is.He said that he goes to the Trump

(28:08):
Pence administration helps send Roe View wayto the ash heap of history. I
like he puts his name on therebecause he was pretty much just quite as
a church mouse throughout the whole thing. He says, pro life Americans will
never relent, et cetera, etcetera. I just I don't feel like
his h what he's doing. Idon't think it's helpful here right now.

(28:33):
I don't think it's helpful. You'renot going to be able to change the
country by changing the perspective of apolitician. You have to change the perspective
of the people who elect the politician, because the politician is representative of the
people. It is an avatar ofeverything that they think. You're going about
this just completely backwards. If youthink that you're going to reprogram the entire

(28:56):
populace's perspective by getting one politician agreementwith you, it doesn't work that way.
And so I think that Republicans alsohave to win elections, and I
think that was an important that wasthe best part of what he was saying.
And in order to save life,you have to also win elections.
You have to. I've written aboutthis before and over at subsecond, Like

(29:21):
I said, I have another piececoming out about this too, because this
it is about strategy. And whenyou look at and it's a post that
I wrote about a year or soago, what Trump gets wrong about the
abortion fight. And again I waskind of touching on his messaging here the

(29:44):
Dobbs versus Jackson women's health case thatundid row roe was based on whether or
not something was a private decision,and it was completely wrongly enacted in the
first place. It was wrongly determined, wrongly decided. It was just ridiculous
reason in a stretch of reality andlaw in order to even codify it like
this. Even Ginsburg didn't support it, but I wrote about this. You

(30:10):
know, you either believe in lifeor you don't. And if you believe
in life, then you're gonna wantto work to save it as much as
possible. Republicans, if you lookat the last several elections that they've had,
they have had they were while Democratsmop the floor with them, and
abortion played a part, and partof it is because Republicans messaging is bad.

(30:30):
In Wisconsin, in Virginia and someof these other elections where abortion came
up, Republicans just did not performwell. Then you look at places like
Georgia and Florida, and you can'tsave that those are reliable red states because
Florida literally was a swing state untiltwo elections ago. So you can't really
say that. And there's still alot of purple areas in Florida. It's

(30:51):
just that the messaging is smart inFlorida and Georgia. While a little red
error still isn't totally a red state, it still can be up for grabs.
That's been proven of recent elections too. But it's about the messaging.
I think that the Republicans in thosestates have a little bit better idea than

(31:11):
some of these other Republicans that arerunning their mouths about it. And maybe
some of these states where they've hadthe floor mop with themselves, maybe those
parties should reach out to these otherstate parties and say, explain to us
what worked for you and how wecan we can recreate that here instead of
screeching about what the president is doing. This is the first step that Trump

(31:34):
has taken to protect down ticket races, and I want to encourage more of
that because his tenure in the WhiteHouse, if elected, will be meaningless.
If he loses the House and keepsthis the Senate in Democrat hands,
he won't be able to accomplish anything. He'll be a lame duck. You

(31:56):
will not be winning on anything,particularly life. So by him taking this
out of the National Ballpark and puttingit in this and keeping it in the
states, it puts more work onDemocrats, and they don't like more work.
And it also protects a lot ofdown ballot races because you need those
people if you want an agenda onlife. So, like I said,

(32:17):
I think this is the first stepthat He's the first thing I've ever seen
him do to actually protect a lotof these down ballot races. And that's
a good thing. But the messaginghas got to improve. Guys, don't
let Fomo get the best of you. Stay in the loop and ahead of
the curve by following Dana on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts

(32:42):
like SAMs through the outer glance.So are the days of the United States
provide unique light and energy so thatyou have the energy of the moon at
night. And sometimes you've heard theword full moons. You need to take
the opportunity just to come out andsee a full moon? Is that complete

(33:04):
rounded circle which is made up mostlyof gases? And that's why the question
the question is why, But howcould we as humans live on the moon.
Are the gases such that we coulddo that? I love science with
Sheila Jackson Lee, you know,the moon's more manageable. Can we send
her there? It sounds like she'svolunteering. Oh, I love that idea.

(33:29):
Let's send her there without like asuit or anything. Let's just shoot
her up there into the guys,she can walk around collect moon rocks.
Two guests giants meeting right. Golly, it's impossible to I'm reading the it's
impossible to go near the thun,but the moon is more manageable. It's
made up of mostly gases. It'snot. But she's a representative from Houston.

(33:52):
Mm hmm. People vote for herlike a lot. She's been in
that job home she's I want tosay at Oh, I'm sure it's like
longer than that. How much youwant? Bet? I bet she's been
there forever because she's like ancient yearsold. Oh my gosh, I was
in high school when she assumed office. Dude, dude, are you serious?
Yeah, I was in high schoolwhen she assumed office. Oh man,

(34:17):
I mean not like I'm ancient,but I mean that was a little
bit ago. Holy cow. Shehas been in government wow forever? I
mean yeah, forever, So liketwo or three decades? Good god?
Yeah? Ten years? Can she'sbeen there for ten years? That's ry?

(34:39):
No, that's crazy. Who votesfor her that long? Like?
What do you get out of it? What do you get out of it?
Like I always wonder this, especiallywhen I look at my hometown of
Saint Louis First Congressional District, whichis what they redistricted us into after they
got rid of the third district,which was right when I moved first district.
They've had Democrats for forever. Andyou don't got nothing in first district.

(35:02):
You don't got no jobs, youdon't got no tax breaks, you
don't got no incentivization to create morebusinesses. You don't have any of it,
none of it. It's wild,none of it. But they keep
voting Democrats. They keep voting forthe same Democrats. They do the same
things over and over again. It'sstunning to me, but that's how they

(35:24):
do, that's what they do.We have coming up. We've been breaking
down some of these fights. Wealso have this fight happening in the house
with over Faiza, et cetera.Thomas Massey's been ringing the bell on that
because it is incredibly troubling. Forsure. We're also going to talk to

borrowers false hope for a second time? Here? How will this proposal pass
legal muster when the first one did? Yeah, first shout out to the

(37:37):
Yukon Huskies. But look, asthe President said yesterday, we're fixing a
broken system. We're trying to providea fair shot to Americans trying to access
higher education. And we're doing thatby addressing runaway interest. We know it's
been out of control, the interestthat people have to pay. We're going
after those schools that are defrauding ourborrowers. We're providing relief to those who've

(37:57):
been paying for decades. We're providingleave to eligible public servants, and we're
addressing hardship that many Americans face.It's not you, they willingly entered into
it. And this is again andit's a problem created by Democrats. That
was Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. Givea shout out to the Yukon has case.
I mean just sounds so out oftouch because the president has said,

(38:19):
yeah, we're going to pay offmore people's student loans. Welcome back to
the show, top of the secondhour. Because you know you've got money
to spare, Why do you needto go on vacation or do any kind
of home improvement. You just,you know, give your money to the
academic welfare super simple. That's allyou gotta do. You know, goodness,
I didn't vote for that. Ohwell, Kine, tough beans.

(38:45):
You got to give your fair share, which is everything. Well yeah yeah,
Daniel lash with you. Listen Coastto Coast finals onn Channel through forty
seven Direct TV. We're also anX too. You can also stream us
on an X, you two,Facebook, everywhere. The problem with this
too, they made it even worseis because they went and they started comparing

(39:06):
student loan forgiveness to the PPP loanfrom the pandemic, so representative Andrew Clyde
had tweeted, Joe Biden once againannounces that he's going to transfer millions more
in student debt. You know,he says it's a scam, which it
is, and then the White Houseretweeted it and said Congressman Clyde had one

(39:27):
hundred and fifty six, six hundredninety seven of debt forgiven from a PPP
loan. Well, that's not actuallyhow it worked. It was a grant
and if it was a loan,and it was a great because it's how
the IRS also categorized it. Andif it had been like like the student

(39:49):
debt loan forgiveness, then the IRSwould have looked at it his income and
he would have had to pay taxeson it. And that's why they literally
let me put this out. Thisis from the IRS. They actually ually
had to pass an amendment on this, and this amendment had to clarify what
was that, that the forgiveness wasthat expenses that were deductible, and that

(40:15):
any kind of forgiveness wasn't an income. This was the Paycheck Protection Program.
Loans are taxable. IRA's advice isthat improperly forgiven PPP loans are taxable.
You had to go buy all ofthe guidance. It was a grant and
you had to You couldn't fire people, you could had all these restrictions that
went along with it, and youand otherwise. It had to be repaid
in full. And they said theyactually had to pass an amendment again to

(40:38):
the PPP to clarify this. Andit got into how loan recipients who receive
forgiveness were qualified use the proceeds properlyto pay eligible expenses. It had to
be work only, had a dealwith salaries, et cetera. And they
were investigated. They're actually they've beencollecting a lot of money from people who
were who did not follow protocol forthe PPP grant. That's the thing.

(41:04):
You can't compare both of that's stupidto you can't. They're not the same
thing. They're just literally not thesame thing as all they were. And
the other point that I made toowith this is that these were businesses that
were forcibly closed under penalty of jailand their economic means were seized. When
you're comparing that to willfully taking outa student loan, you are dumb.

(41:29):
They are not even remotely the samething, not even remotely the same thing.
Literally, the government made businesses shutdown. The government barred businesses from
operating. They barred people from working, They stopped people from generating an income.

(41:49):
They stopped employers from opening their doors. They stopped employees from being able
to generate money to pay their bills, that is, in come operable to
college students who take out loans willfully, voluntarily, fully aware of the risk
in a completely not even remotely closeto that scenario context. And you had

(42:19):
to the restrictions and then pulling thisup were they were strict. Under the
terms of the loan program for thepaycheck Protection, lenders could forgive the full
amount of the loan if the loanrecipient met three conditions. You had to
be eligible to receive it, meaningit had to be a small business or
an independent contractor, et cetera,et cetera. You had to be in
business before February fifteenth of twenty twenty. You had to have people who were

(42:44):
paid for their services, et cetera. You had to use the proceeds to
pay for eligible expenses, payroll,rent, interest on the business, mortgage,
and utilities. And that was thatwas it. You had and then
you had to apply for loan forgivenessand then it could be then if the
above conditions were met, then andonly then could the loan program could that
forgive that forgiven portion be excluded fromincome, meaning it wasn't considered that it

(43:08):
wasn't considered taxable income. But theysaid, if the conditions are not met,
then the amount of the loan persingsthat were forgiven but do not meet
the conditions that has to be consideredtaxable income. So to compare this again
to willfully taking out a student loanis the dumbest thing ever. These people

(43:28):
have no idea what they're talking about, and it is embarrassing. Oh my
gosh, I am cringing to death. How in the world are you in
government and you're saying this stupid stuff? When I see stupid people on social
media make this point, I cringeto death. How are you an adult
like functioning in this society and youdon't even know how this works. Oh

(43:51):
my gosh, Like go home andlike give us time to pass over the
cringe. Please, can you cringeto death? So they feel like I
am gosh, entirely different things andit just it's amazing that they are trying

(44:12):
to pay this loans. You know, when you take out a loan,
you do so, I mean,you know you're gonna have to repay it.
You you you you're gonna have torepay it. It's a it's a
loone. I mean, when you'rea student and you're taking out a college
loan, you know you're going torepay that. This is pe like the

(44:32):
government was actually closing businesses. Noone forced you to go to college,
but the government was forcing people toshut their business. No one forced you
to take these these courses, butthe government did force people to not work.
So you see, they're not evenremotely the same thing. It's so
stupid, that's so stupid. I'membarrassed for these people. Now, the

(45:00):
forgiveness portion of it, again,it's how it was classified. I mean,
I just ken't even gotly. Ican't even And they even had like
the forgiveness when you look at theprogram, they had that provision for forgiveness
actually written in. They just clarifiedwhat was already in existence. So that's
why it's not a credible comparison.Also for the student loan thing, this

(45:25):
is our government, you guys,it is our government. But again the
reason why, and I've written aboutthis before. My friend Glenn Reynolds actually
wrote a short book on the wholeabout how the government took over student loans
and made it incredibly expensive, andthey did so under the guise of making

(45:46):
it more affordable, but it wasnever actually made more affordable. It's a
scam. It's an absolute scam.The government has to be removed from that
whole process of student loans altogether,and we have to actually go back to
are based loan systems because the waythe math that they use in order to
qualify for a loan, now it'scrazy, like you can't I mean,

(46:08):
you wouldn't be able to go andtake out a loan for a business,
but you could go if you wantedto take out a six figure loan for
college, and they'll just give itto you. It's insane that it's irresponsible,
and they do it on purpose,and that's after the government took it
over. Democrats took it over,and this is what they decided. This
is what they decided, and theyalso honestly, when you look at undergrad

(46:34):
and grad school, when you lookat borrowing, I think there's to be
a limit on it because the tuitionrates for these universities, you're not getting
the return on the money that you'reputting into it. You're just not There's
a lot of things that we coulddo differently with regards to student loans,
and we should be doing it differently. A couple of other things. There's

(46:54):
a Lorraine has a piece up.It's up at Substeck now and it's about
the people of East Palestine. Palestine, Ohio. Have you guys heard about
this? This is one of themost This is one of the crazier stories.
I feel so bad for these peoplein East Palestine. I really really
do this. Uh. First,it had to do with this report from

(47:16):
the EPA. It was first reportedby WTRF and the federal officials were saying
that the train derailment there did notqualify as a public health emergency. Yeah.
And then they were also saying that, well, you know, the
controlled burn of the toxic chemicals,you really didn't need to do that.

(47:38):
I know, I know, Iknow, yeah, you didn't. It
was unnecessary. You guys didn't needto do it. So they apparently the
railroad company they just thought it wouldbe better to burn it all off and

(47:59):
that would be fast than like drainingthe cars and doing all this other stuff.
That's what it sound like. Andthe Northern and Northern Norfolk, Southern
nor Folk Southern, they've been fightingthe residents, according to Reuters, and
losing suit after suit. So thispiece that's up over at chapter and verse

(48:22):
it is the EPAS giving the peopleof East Palatine, Ohio the shaft because
you have health concern after health concern, and whenever residents bring the issue up,
they're told, we can't connect thisto the derailment, over and over
again. And then you have theNational Transportation Safety Board report that came out

(48:43):
and they were saying, yeah,there's no need to burn these chemicals off
there. They should not have everhad to do it in the first place.
The railroad and the information that wasgiven to them at the time apparently
that was not told to any ofthe other officials on the ground. It
just sounds like an absolute This isinsane. This story's is crazy, and

(49:07):
so now these people in this townare still dealing with all of these issues.
The GAO or the Government Accountability Project, they were saying that the EPA
had the authority to declare the sitea public health emergency. But they instead
decided and the quote was literally,best not to get into this. That's

(49:29):
like Lorraine has the email, bestnot to get into this. I'm sorry.
What. So they were trying toget ahead of it by saying they
did not want to declare this areawhere you had this toxic derailment a health
risk because they said, quote,the widespread health problems and ongoing chemical exposures
haven't been documented. But then therewere reports that said literally no government agency

(49:53):
was actually testing residence health and thatincludes the CDC and the EPA. Even
though they said that they would createa world literal World War one chemical,
a World War one era chemical byburning off that oxy vinyl chloride, they
decided it's best not to get intothis. When's the last time they tried

(50:15):
to cover this? Oh, theAnimus River, the Animus River Colorado,
Remember when the EPA was trying tocover that up? OAIT? What does
EPA stand for again? The EnvironmentalPutts Agency. Oh that it's accurate,
Yes, because I thought it wasa protection agency of some sort. It
seems like they're almost intentionally doing thesethings. Yes, like it does sound

(50:39):
that way. Do we need tofund the I didn't vote for the EPA.
I didn't vote with the fun Whatdo they do? I'm not sure.
I've hated the EPA since Ghostbusters.Yeah, I don't. I haven't
heard of anything that they've done.That's how I learned how to hate the
EPA. And they let all theghosts loose. H have they done anything?
Well? Shut it down. Theywant to make sure that you're protected

could collapse, apparently according to inthe AI area, according Era, according

(52:28):
to two Japanese companies, so they'rewarning Via the Wall Street Journal, one
telecommunications company and a leading newspaper,they've issued a manifesto calling for new laws
to restrain generative AI. It's Japan'slargest telecoms company and their biggest newspaper.
They said that they have they gotto restrain this because democracy and social order
could just collapse if AI is leftunchecked. I mean, everybody's warning about

(52:52):
this, and we're just still likehurdling through, like going right for it.
I don't know. There's a mysteryas body parts This is gross are

(55:05):
What did you say he's in dC there what is it Union station

he was joking because you know hewas serious. He was serious when he
said it. Don't make her upa mad man. Welcome back to the
program, Dan, I'll last yearwith you. Bottom of this second hour.

(55:25):
Sure you'd making fun of his stutter, and you know, because that's
what a stutter is. It's youknow, people fight, want to fight
each other. My favorite is whenhe got in an argument with that guy
at that plant and he got allup into his face, or the other
time when he got into the faceof the other guy who challenged him.
This is during twenty twenty, challengedhim at a town hall. I mean,
there's a lot of video of him. It's a wonder he didn't get

(55:50):
his ass beat. Look at somepoint, Yeah, like he is so
combati if he's always been like that, Like that's who the real Biden is.
If you go and look at avideo of like old timey video of
Biden before he had his clearly catastrophicstroke, he was a jerk. He
was such a jerk, always hasbeen, just an absolute jerk. You

(56:15):
can kind of see why his kidsare the way they are because he was
like that dad, who I'm thestar here. See this family's about me.
See he's like that guy as wild. But he's speaking about the economy,
and apparently people are not They're nothappy with what he's saying. Shere.
Yeah, I don't don't know how. Now in the meantime, we

(56:37):
gotta talk about what's happening in theHouse, the House of Representatives. So
they have an insane amount of outof control spending that they are not apparently
able to keep in check. Theappropriations bills that are driving spending. They
originate the Appropriations Committee, and apparentlyRepublicans are expected to elect new chair of

(57:00):
the Appropriations Committee this week, andthey have because Kay Granger was chair.
She's stepping down. They said thatthat's like the number one thing they have
to do. I don't know,like who, they need some They need
somebody that is going to kind ofcontrol. They need somebody to control this
stuff because the spending is you've hadstopgap measure after stopgap measure spending, the

(57:25):
authorization of one point two trillion dollarsin spending. It's bad, out of
control debt, it's awful. Andthen on top of it, now you've
got this from Politico. Mike Johnson, speaker Johnson's staff told a group of
Republicans yesterday that he opposes the warrantrequirement amendment at the center of this week

(57:51):
seven to two debate. Now,he has not taken a position publicly on
this, apparently, according to Politico, And this has been a big debate
with the Pisa Act, right andapparently now he opposes requiring the FBI and

(58:15):
other agencies to get a warrant whenthey use PISA. Now, this is
how this would come into play.This process has already been abused. Go
back to twenty sixteen with Trump andgolly the handful of people that were working

(58:37):
on his campaign, and during thatwhole process, that's when you had and
there are receipts that show this.And you even had the Clinton campaign that
was fined for not listing this orproperly reporting this as a campaign expenditure.
So they ran a foul of FECand they had to pay a fine for

(58:59):
this. But you the Clinton campaignworking in conjunction and sharing the cost with
a DNC. They hired a lawfirm called Perkins Kooy Perkins Kooey then engaged
this third party entity, a companycalled a firm called Fusion GPS. And
Fusion GPS is basically like an OPOfirm. I mean they do they Their

(59:22):
biggest uh I guess project at thattime was lobbying for Russian oligarchs. You
had this piece of this this proposalthat it became law, that it was
called the Magnitsky Act, and ithad to do with this guy who blew
the whistle on this like all kindsof economic like money laundering and embezzlement and

(59:45):
everything else that these Russians were doing. And they killed this guy, this
Magnitsky guy, and in his namethey had passed and they passed this act
and it was sanctioning these oligarchs forbreaking, you know, all kinds of
law to enrich themselves. And thenwhen this guy blew the whistle on them,
they killed him. So they sanctionedthese oligarchs. Fusion GPS was hired

(01:00:07):
literally to lobby on behalf of thosesame oligarchs to remove those sanctions. And
the number one person that they hadfronting that was this woman named Natalia Vetalitskaya.
Now her name may or may notsound familiar because she was the woman
who tried to entrap Donald Trump Juniorin New York. Remember that whole conversation

(01:00:29):
where she said she was going tomeet with him to talk about, you
know, a bunch of stuff andincluding adoption. That was what she used
to, you know, get herfoot in the door. And he actually
never took the meeting. But theylied and said otherwise, and all of
the press ran with it. Andnot only did they lie and say otherwise,
this is how they did it.They would they would send a lie

(01:00:50):
to friendly reporters who were completely finewith writing OPO as a regular story.
Now, this actually happens on theconservatives, and I know people who've done
it, so don't think that it'sIt happens more on the left. But
I have seen some completely unethical peopleon the right. In fact, I've

(01:01:12):
actually had professional disagreements with people beforebecause I had refused to allow my name
to be used on APPO that Ididn't write and run as a story.
So that's true. I've seen ithappen. I've lived this, This is
this is it happens more than youthink. And they don't there of course,

(01:01:35):
they don't disclose it but it happensway more on the left. In
fact, that's where the right gotthe idea. So what they did is
they would go to these friendly reportersand they would say, oh, I've
got this, check this information outwith really minimal, if any verification,
and they would run this this nonsense, and then they would they they would

(01:01:58):
run these stories, and then thesestories were collected by the same people who
seated them and used as evidence orproof of wrongdoing by the people they were
trying to smear. Oh, wellit was reported in the press, you
know, and the press have suchhigh standards, so it must be true,
because you know, anything that's reportedin the press is gospel truth.
Well that's what they used in orderto get a warrant to spy on people

(01:02:22):
in the Trump campaign through Faiza,Right. So they it was the same
Fusion GPS, and they were sendingout and we know some of the reporters
because a Freedom of Information Act requestsfinally revealed some names, but the rest
were blacked out. And a coupleof people just volunteered that it was them
and they didn't feel any shame aboutit, so they would they would send

(01:02:45):
this this It wasn't even apo Oposuggests that there's something in there that's real.
This was just bs. They wouldsend this stuff to these reporters.
These reporters would write about it likeit was a true story. And then
Fusion GPS because they had Nelly o'ero h Er who works on their on
their staff. Her husband, Brucewas in the DJ right pretty high up

(01:03:07):
within the DJ. So Nellie o'erwith Fusion GPS, they they used her
and her husband and she would sendthis stuff. They'd get these reports,
these articles. She would tell herhusband about this and then her husband and
some in the FBI would take itto the Paisa judge. Because the Faija

(01:03:28):
judge is supposed to look at theevidence. They're supposed to verify it and
then they consider whether or not they'regoing to, you know, issue this
war. They didn't even follow thatprotocol. They're like, oh wow,
here's the evidence of these reported stories. So they granted a warrant based on
that. So in some respects,you can argue that the safeguards to put
that were supposed to be put inplace to guard people from weaponizing this and

(01:03:49):
using it against political opponents has alreadykind of been eroded. There was a
there was a judge who lost herjob on the FISA Court because of this.
But at the same time, whywould you want to make it easier
by removing that To my original pointwith Speaker Johnson here, if he opposes
requiring the FBI and agencies to geta warrant, if they're going to spy

(01:04:09):
on Americans, that's insane and shouldbe opposed at all cost. I mean,
I don't that's that's amazing to me. I don't even know how in
the world that could be considered inany way legitimate. That's crazy. So

(01:04:32):
that that's the truth of it.That's so, that's one of the things
that they're doing. That's the fiesthat fight that they're having good grief.
I mean, maybe we could cutspending and maybe not make it easier to
weaponize this system and spy on average, everyday Americans. Right. Here's another
interesting story for you that I sawthat came came across today, This particular

(01:04:57):
story, where's this app I sawthis? I gotta find it because I
had it up. I saw thisand I thought, oh, really,
that's that's kind of unfortunate. Where'sthis at? It had to do with
this, Do you guys remember oneof the students from Parkland, that David
Hogg guy, who some said wasn'teven at the school that day, but

(01:05:23):
has made it a kind of likea career, made a kind of a
career for himself by fundraising or doingwhatever off of it. And apparently there
were receipts with that too, whichis kind of crazy. His pack.
I didn't even know he had apack. He has a political action committee.
Jonathan Turley wrote about this. JonathanTurley said, the David hog group

(01:05:45):
was hit with allegations over spending practicesand policies his leaders We Deserve Pack Apparently
he spent comparably. The pack apparentlyspent little on at actual candidates and spent
the majority of their funds on traveland expenses. And the council that he

(01:06:08):
has worked with them. Mark Eliasis a Clinton campaign former Clinton campaign General
Council and he created this group intwenty twenty two, twenty twenty two,
and he wanted to elect young Democratcandidates. But the filings reportedly show that
they raised about three million dollars,but they only spent like a small portion

(01:06:30):
of that on their stated mission andthen they spent like one point four million
on payroll and consulting firms, traveland entertainment and meals. Wow. And
of course apparently Hog himself got apaycheck out of it. He was getting
a lot of money coupled several thousanda month off of it. That's crazy.

(01:06:55):
So wait, isn't he the guywho tried to start a progressive pillow
company? Yes? Oh, andthat didn't really work out that well either,
did it. No? Huh huh? I mean, is anybody surprised
about this? Though? I'm not. I'm not surprised to see this at
all. I mean, he's he'sit's always only ever been a grift.

(01:07:16):
One of my friends, Ryan Petty, got super mad at him, and
he was like, stop using mydaughter's death. Stop exploiting my daughter's death.
That's what he told Hog. Andit did feel at the time like
Hogg was really trying to hijack allof that for his own attention and his
own momentum. It really did kindof seem that way. It was really

(01:07:36):
weird to watch that, to watchall the machination with that and people trying
to exploit that for some sort oflike, oh, I'm going to start
my career or kickstarts, and there'sjust wild. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. This is a crazy story.

(01:08:00):
So a Florida woman was attacked.She went to the hospital. She
was attacked by a belligerent raccoon camein a scene that a neighbor described as
something out of a horror movie.The attack occurred Saint Augustine Monday night.
The seventy five year old Florida womanand her pet dog were chased into their

(01:08:20):
own home and they were trapped insidefor an hour and a half by the
belligerent raccoon. According to neighbor andfriend John Ness, who helped fight off
the raccoon, He said said raccoonwas quote big and powerful, definitely something
that I have never seen before.She's seventy five years old. It bit

(01:08:45):
at her ankles, she got biteson her foot. She was left bleeding
the pal The neighbor spotted the raccoonaround eight pm loitering on her porch and
before the raccoon made a beeline insome somehow where he then mauled the homeowner
and her dog. Ness heard thewoman screams and he ran over to help,

(01:09:06):
but the chubby raccoon, who tippedthe scales at thirty pounds, was
in no mood to leave. Nessrecalled quote, We couldn't get him out,
and he was on top of me, and at one point apparently he
was able to grab a butcher knife. I had a double check this was

(01:09:27):
Ness the neighbor and not the raccoon, and repeatedly stabbed the raccoon with it.
He goes, I actually used theknife when he was on me to
stab it continuously until he got offof me his direct quote. But even
after being repeatedly stabbed, the belligerent, competitive raccoon kept lunging at Ness,

(01:09:48):
so Ness stabbed him a couple moretimes. Then Ness called nine one one
and Florida Fish and Wildlife responded andthey carried off the crazed critter and they
dispatched it with one shot. Itwasn't dead. It's a badass a raccoon.
The homeowner was taken to the hospitaltreated for animal bites, screened for

(01:10:11):
rabies. She's since been discharged.Her dog had been vaccinated against rabies,
did not require medical attention. Okay, I I gotta ask a question because
this nest guy. You know,he looks like he works out. He
doesn't look like a schlub. Youknow, it's a thirty pound raccoon.
Okay, my my French, youweighed a little more than thirty pounds,
both of them. How do younot get it off you? It's still

(01:10:32):
small enough. My youngest son hasa role. If it's smaller than you,
you can kick it. It iskickable. That's a thing that is
that's a that's like, uh,that's science. It's uh, it's kickable.
This thing was eatable. He actedlike he I love the way that

(01:10:55):
the neighbor describes it because he's likethe raccoon was on top of me,
like they were trading punches like itwas UFC right, And he somehow managed
to get a hold of a butcherknife. I don't know where she keeps
her knives, you know, Likewere they on the floor, like what
was happening here? Yes, hestabbed this thing multiple times and they it

(01:11:15):
still was attacking him. Oh man, that's the Florida story of all Florida
stories so far this year. Stickwith us. We have a whole other
hour on the way. Were theUnited States in America there's nothing beyond our
capacity, nothing if we do ittogether. What was that there's a song

(01:11:47):
that sounds like that. Oh mygosh, I said, don't break.
He sounds like a rager from DarkTide. But that's like deep dive.
Welcome back to the show, DanaLash here with you. Nothing. Just
give me the right on that micthere, get it. Instead of being

(01:12:13):
curse words, we should just laythat cough over the top of all the
cursewords. I like that. Actually, that's a great idea instead of having
you know, can you believe it? Cough? But oh wow, oh
top of this third hour, DanaLash with you. You can listen coast
to Coast and uh X. We'reeverywhere on all of the streaming platforms.

(01:12:36):
We're all there. We're everywhere inchannel through forty seven Direct TV. So
Kane sent me this story and Ihad some stuff I was going to talk
about in this segment, but Inow this is completely hot. Just attention
Jack to the whole segment. Now. You sent me this yesterday. We

(01:12:56):
had a headline on or No daybefore right Monday on Jeans. No,
it was yesterday that we we satover the weekend. Yeah, yeah,
we were talking about jeans and howit made me think of it with this
whole with the concept of talking aboutthe Cold War and you craning in a
NATO et, etcetera. And howgenes became like them, Well they were.

(01:13:17):
They were the symbol of freedom andcapitalism. And North Korea has this
old BBC, this gardening program wherethey blur the dude's pants out because he's
in jeans, and they don't allowjeans in North Korea. It's true,
you can only get one of severalhaircuts if you live there as well.
I know it's uh, But nowthey say that wearing jeans. First they

(01:13:40):
said jeans and hoodies could help tackleclimate change. That was in twenty fourteen.
And now they say wearing jeans isbad for the environment. That's the
new thing. And they said,I do want to know who, because
the other one that I had saidlike two something miles. So this article
said a study revealed wearing one pairis the equivalent of driving for like over
six miles. Who sits down thereand figures that out? I want to

(01:14:02):
drag them behind my car. Whosits down and does this, well,
let's see, uh figuring out mymy pair of pants is equal to how
much driving? What a weird measure, Kane? How much driving? Is
your pants equal to? Uh sixpoint six miles? I don't know what

(01:14:27):
the hell I'm wearing. I don'tknow what I'm wearing. I'm wearing.
There's something because aren't jeans made fromcotton? Yeah, my pants are made
from cotton. So is it cotton? I'm in brown? Which is wooden
goth discovered color? Or are theytrying to argue that the machinery that actually
make the jeans are the ones thatare caused? What about the child laborer
and the underdeveloped countries where they outsourceall the making of their jenes? Now,

(01:14:50):
I mean, you know, oh, that's right, that doesn't count.
That pollution doesn't count if it's inyou know, if it's over it's
in Asia. That's white privilege.The pollution ounce less when Chinese kids and
wigers that are imprisoned make the product. Did you know this didn't yeah?
Yeah, yeah. So here's thething, like if you're mining over here,
like say you're going and you're diggingfor cobalt, right, you can't

(01:15:14):
do that really here because you know, bad for the environment and stuff,
and you know, the labor,you get tough. But if you are
in Asia, or if you area black child in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, it's see, it doesn'tcount as much because the white people that
drive all the products that are poweredby cobalt don't see it. You see
how that works. The white progressivesdon't see it because they don't see the

(01:15:39):
abuse of which would count for overhere minority labor. They don't really see
that, so it doesn't count.Right, nothing says racist white privilege,
like progressives acting like the pollution doesn'toccur because it's in a country where they
can't see it. Wow, that'strue though, that's that's how they look

(01:16:00):
at it. Well, there's nopollution here. Oh, I just don't
see it. All the everything isnice and pristine. Meanwhile, in China,
they literally have cancer lakes, Likethey call them cancer lakes. Everybody
lives by their dies. They're likepink google it for real. Yeah,
they don't care about they don't careabout the environment over there. Anything China

(01:16:21):
cares about the environment. No,No, but hey it doesn't it's not
here, so it doesn't count.Right. It's in China. It's a
place I've never heard of before,so all the way over there, so
it doesn't matter. So now theywere saying it that less they were saying

(01:16:43):
in twenty fourteen, less energy waswasted if people wear casual clothing. I
felt like they were trying to telleverybody to dress like shlubs. Right,
Well, they didn't have to sayanything about that in the nineties. I
just want to know where they getthe arbitrary. It's like driving a car
for six miles if you wear leatherpants. How many? Oh, that's
like riding a cow for a halfmile. Right, It's like driving five

(01:17:06):
cars at once gassy cow. Thisis wild. It doesn't make any sense.
I don't get it doesn't make anysense to me. That doesn't make
any sense. So I don't know. I'm just I'm amazed. I'm amazed.
So now it's bad for the invite. They can't really they It's like
how eggs are bad for you,bad for your cholesterol, but they're good,

(01:17:29):
but then they're bad again, butthey're good. I don't know what
are they? Are they good forit again? Well, I'm yeah,
I know they have been, butlike, what is it now? What
is the Ministry of BSA? Now? I think the narrative has changed since
we've seen a lot of these carnivoreand Keto diets pop up. I think
that eggs have I think the bashingof eggs has subsided a bit. I'm

(01:17:54):
just saying, yeah, so that'swhat they were trying to That's what they
were that's what they were pushing.So now jeans are bad. That yes,
the most iconic piece of freedom andculture is bad. Now bad to
bad to wear. There's I thinkthere's been an agenda for a long time
to try to push you to whatCarol Roth has said, you know,

(01:18:16):
you will own nothing and you willbe happy. I feel like there's been
a I think I've told you guysabout this before, Like the whole do
you guys know that whole tiny housething? Can I just be honest.
The whole shabby chic thing and theeverything white palette and the tiny house movement
are all to make you have nocolor, boring, dirty old stuff in
tiny spaces. That's what it is, ship lap everything. M just saying,

(01:18:43):
mmm, I don't know, Iget real weird with that stuff,
right, It's just weird, Likethe tiny house thing. Did I tell
you the one episode I watched werethese people. They didn't have no land.
They had no land, and theyspent I don't even know how you
can spend I it was like twohundred thousand dollars on basically an outhouse on
wheels with a tiny little space fora bed. And they kept going,

(01:19:06):
well, we love the fixtures.I'm like, you cannot even lay down
in it. You love the fixtures? You basically take a deuce right next
to where you sit and you eatyour meals. Yeah, like literally,
you're you're dropping a deuce on theother side of your stove. That's weird,
man, that's weird, right right, yeah, no matter what the

(01:19:30):
context. And then they all andthey I look at them, And they
had a cat too, of coursethey did. They he was like an
underwater basket weaver and she braided toehair I don't know. And they both
made a million dollars I don't know. And they had a cat, and
they wanted they sold their yuppie apartment. I think that, of course.

(01:19:50):
I think they lived in New Yorkor some urban major city and they didn't
even have any land. They're like, well, no, we've got to
figure out where it'll put our We'regonna figure out where to put our house.
It's not a house. It wasa glorified outhouse with a bed area

(01:20:11):
and a tiny little stove on wheels. And they made a big deal about
the paint and look at the floorineand all. She kept going on about
the fixtures, and it's so wellappointed. And I just cannot get over
it. I can't. You can'teven do it. Couldn't you do laundry?
And I'm like, we're you gonnago do your laundry. If they
have if they have friends over,if they entertain, they all have to
sit outside because they all can't fitin their little outhouse on wheels. They

(01:20:35):
all got to sit outside, righton property they don't own, because they
didn't even think about the land partof it. That's wild. You can
tell that people are in some respectsthey just have no idea about property ownership.
Well, we want, we havean idea for our house. Gotta
have land first, What, well, where you gonna put it? It

(01:20:57):
can't just float in the air whereyou're gonna put it at? Oh my
gosh, bro, I gotta,I gotta. I couldn't get over this.
Hang on. They had a wholeI stopped watching it because it's at
first I made fun of it.Yeah they call it. Yeah, they
have tiny house hunters and they calltiny house big living. What it's a

(01:21:18):
damn dollhouse. It's not big living. It is a literal dollhouse. They're
dollhouses. If I ever saw oneof these driving down the road, I
would die of laughter. I wouldwreck my car because I would have just
seized and died of laughter watching itroll down. And these people, it's
not that they're they're broke, orthey're struggling, or they can't afford anything

(01:21:40):
else. This is how they virtuesignal. I actually was only able to
watch like two episodes, and Icould not anymore. I just couldn't like
when they were I watched this onelady, Oh my gosh, I watched
this one episode. Right, Icould go on it, but I as
soon she spent like five hundred dollarson the fawcet. And it was one

(01:22:06):
of those big kurvy like professional cheffive. And that's like on the cheaper
side, isn't it, I thinkfor those big vaginal faucets. Actually it
was like over five hundred dollars onher faucet. But a kid you not
hands to sky. She was balkingover how much they needed for their little

(01:22:29):
mobile, their version of a sewersystem. She couldn't wrap her brain around
that. She just goes she couldnot wrap her brain around it. She's
like, but I five hundred somethingdollars on this fawcet seems like a good
eight for my shack. It seemslike a good idea. What am I
gonna do with my dookie? Idon't know. That's she could not figure

(01:22:53):
it out. And I'm watching thisand I'm like, this is the country.
This is the country right now,this is this is us right Oh
my gosh, no cane I swearlate thirties. Oh my gosh. Like
this guy they talk about this artist. He doesn't just make tiny houses,

(01:23:15):
He creates micro masterpiece. Shut up, you're you're a damp, dumpster diver.
Shut up. I hate this wholemovement hate. I also don't like
the all white palette. I feellike it's anti everything, it's anti tradition.
Guys. Here's an idea. Let'shave everything be grayis but imagine the

(01:23:41):
color of depressing, and then Iwant you to make that your home.
What all square feet? Yeah?All five square feet of it grays just
everything that just imagine everything the samecolor. Right, those houses are built
out of ship lab I just orthe whole shabby ic thing. The men

(01:24:06):
out there are like, I don'teven know what that is. Don't ask
your wives about it because you'll neverget away from that conversation. Just trust
me on this. That's where theyhad this lady designer take things that were
ratty and tattered and like, oh, this is character. It's like how
when people say something like when whenthey say something is rustic, it's just

(01:24:27):
crappy. Rustic is fancy for crappy. I don't know if you guys knew
that or not. Right, that'swhat that means. And now all of
the news you would probably miss.It's time for Dana's Quick five. So
there's a Arizona Supreme Court story fromArizona. They just upheld a one hundred
and sixty year old law regarding abortion. They said that it goes into effect,

(01:24:50):
it will go into effect in fourteendays. It's kind of similar to
some of the other ones past.It was a four to two decision.
They said that it's when they makenarrow exceptions to save the life of a
mother. They have Every state hasexemptions where it concerns rape and and tests,
et cetera. But this one,that's very interesting that that was upheld

(01:25:14):
in Arizona of all places, becausealways thought Arizona was just a little bit
maybe more to the maybe more tothe left on that a porch package dressed
as a thief, or at porchpackage thief rather dressed as a trash bag
to steal a porch package like anactual, yes, an actual trash bag.

(01:25:35):
They actually dressed as a trash bag. This is the craziest thing I've
ever seen, and were able tosteal these packages. And also they were
obscuring their identity. You couldn't seewho it was, you couldn't see garbage.
Yeah, I've never I mean theywalked up, you know how,
like you see on Warner Brothers whenlike bugs bund near somebody would be a

(01:25:59):
shrub and they like walk up andthen the trash bag would walk up and
then absorb the package and then walkaway. It's I mean, that's one
way of doing it. I guessthat's really wild. So you gotta watch
out for your stuff out there.This apparently it's the more expensive to die
in California than it is in anyother state. Really, that's well one

(01:26:20):
of these states. They said,it's the They had the an actual like
funeral directors. It's the National FuneralDirectors Association. They did the average cross
of a funeral in the US islike seven eight hundred. But the highest
prices for the actual I guess thewhole service are Hawaii, DC, Massachusetts,

(01:26:41):
and then California and New York.Those are the top five. Is
anybody shocked that they're all blue states? In fact, all of the top
ten or blue states. Interesting Congresswomanbethvy and Dine is trying to poach New
York's police for Texas. She joinsUS next to discuss day with US craving
a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline.Look no further than the Dana Show podcast

(01:27:04):
where curiosity meets courage. By followingon Apple, Spotify or wherever you get
your podcasts, Why can't you justchange the looks? Oh, I will
be arrested instantly. They turned offthe hot water and then reported that they
had no hot water. It's atwo hundred and fifty dollar fine per day,
up to fifteen thousand dollars, punishableby five years in jail. So

(01:27:28):
here you are. You have topay the upkeep of the house. Right,
I'm not getting any rent. I'mnot getting any rent, and I'm
paying the gas and electric every month. Four stores, repeated over and over
and over again by our rate andoften unwitting property owners worry lines marking their
faces, who came to City councilWoman Vicki Palladino's office desperately seeking help.
Hong Chin has spent thousands trying unsuccessfullyto get the squatters out of this home

(01:27:53):
in mass Path John Sober And aswe've talked about on the show, you
got to pay the utility bills forsquatters. You gotta pay the light,
you gotta pay the heat, yougotta pay the lig to all of that
stuff. And if you turn itoff, you get in trouble. That's
just like one of the things that'sgoing wrong with the New York right now.
Welcome back to the program, Dana. Last year with you, we

(01:28:14):
are at the bottom of this thirdhour and tying into this and this is
all We're all going to bring thetugwoot to shore. This all ties it
in keep that on the burner.You got this story salon men punching random
women in New York City, adesperate last gasp of the male rage fueling
and Maga, m aga. Sothere's a lot of crime in New York,

(01:28:34):
and there's a lot of squatting andpeople punching and everything else. But
you know, it's just maca,it's just the fault of the It couldn't
be because they're not allowing I don'tknow, they're not enforcing laws or even
allowing law enforcement to enforce said laws, which then brings me to this ad.
I pull up this ad that rantoday, a full page ad in

(01:28:57):
the New York Post, big NewYork publicand and it is from Texas Congresswoman
Beth Van Dyne, who's telling lawenforcement in New York's, hey, come
to Texas. We got some wegot some job openings here in Texas.
We could use some police in Texas. She's poaching. She's gonna go up
there and poach to New York's police. We could use them. Congresswoman Van

(01:29:19):
Dyne joins us now via Skype.Good to see you. This is a
full page ad that ran in theNew York Post. I'm sure I wouldn't
be shocked if they got a tonof response off this. Honestly, I
hope so, I hope so,and it was nope, Hey, it
was hey, page, guess whaty'all come to Texas because we see the

(01:29:39):
way that should being trigued in NewYork. It is disgraceful politicians that are
not enforceunal laws, as you mentioned, they're not even allowing citizens to protect
themselves. They're going after people whoare just trying to protect their homes,
or protect their property, or protectothers on a subway. They're going after
them. But they're letting you violentcriminals out. They're letting the violent and

(01:30:00):
illegal immigrants that beat police officers midday, they're letting them out the next day.
They are constantly talking about defunding thepolice and how horrible the police are.
And my point is, if youput your head, you know,
out there every day, you're puttingyour neck on the line. You don't
know if you're going to come home. If you're a police officer, you've
got no idea what you're going tobe dealing with. You're doing that,

(01:30:23):
and then you are getting thrown underthe bus by the very representatives that claim
to represent you. If you guysare having to put up with that which
we're seeing on a regular basis onTV. Come to Texas, or we're
going to review you where we haverespect for our police officers, where we
actually defend you and we allow youto do your job, which just protecting
citizens and enforcing laws. Come ondown, we'd love to have you.

(01:30:44):
I love that, and you're right. I mean this isn't of course,
coming right off of the funeral servicesof New York police officer Jonathan Diller,
I mean that was just heartbreaking tohear, you know, his family talk
about his service to the community andthen ultimately, you know, he ends
up being killed by the same lawlessnessthat that the politicians in New York are
promoting, and he's just I know, there are several New York officers that

(01:31:04):
have lost their lives like that.Whereas when you look how they're treated in
New York compared to how you know, officers seem to be treated in Texas.
Everybody, I mean, we getalong with our law enforcement. I
mean I don't know anybody who doesn'tat black, white, Asian in Texas
who isn't getting along with law enforcement. But it's also I think a culture
of politicians do not bend that needto that restorative justice, at least outside

(01:31:29):
of Dallas County. I should say, well, unless I go too far
south in Austin either a point intime. But they're trying to make up
for it now because they've seen whathappens in these policies when you're not enforcing
the laws. People want to havesafe streets. They want to have a
community that they feel that they canwalk around and that they can bring up
a family, that their kids cango to school and not be attacked,

(01:31:50):
where you could be a woman onthe street and not be threatened by a
random person punching you in the face. These are not long, you know,
long drawn out bars that we haveto cross. This is just living
in a civilization, living in asociety. These are some of the rules
that have been bent lately, withexcuse after excuse being made for criminals,

(01:32:11):
where citizens aren't being protected, wheretheir rights are being taken away and they're
constantly being given to the criminals.And I don't know why they're doing this,
but the fact is that New Yorkseems to be the epicenter of it,
where they are completely throwing their policeofficers under the bus. Hey,
you're going to be cowboy up andyou're going to be a police officer.
You deserve some respect. You deserveto be able to do your job,
and you deserve not to be harassedand threatened with criminal action because you are

(01:32:34):
enforcing laws that these lawmakers are puttingon the books. It seems like so
again those outmal Does it seem toyou like they're setting them up to fail.
Yes, it absolutely does. Theyput the law, their lives on
the line. They arrest these criminalsand in the very next day, liberal
das like the ones in New Yorklet them out. They don't even they

(01:32:55):
don't even allow the police officers oncethey've done their job, to sleep peacefully
because they know these same criminals aregoing to be out. And you're absolutely
right, the murderer of Jonathan Diller, that is exactly what happened. You
know, these people were arrested timeand time again for climate offenses and they
were just let go. They werejust let out. And you know,
I do not live in New York. I'm a Texan by choice. And

(01:33:19):
one of the reasons why is becausewe actually have laws down here, we
respect them, and as a result, we have low crime and by the
way, a higher quality of lifefor a much cheaper price tag. Yeah,
people understand. Talking to Congresswoman andBeth Van Dyne represents Texas's twenty fourth
district, people understand. You know, there's going to be a consequence to

(01:33:39):
breaking the law or heaven forbid,squatting someone's house or punching someone in the
face. You know, in Texas, it's it's amazing that anyone even would
wear the badge anymore, considering thateverything that they have to put up with,
not just I mean, they're they'reset up to fail, and then
they have to bear the consequences,sometimes fatally. So when that from the

(01:34:03):
inaction of politicians, I mean,I would imagine that there's not a lot
of people wanting to wear the badge. In New York I read just last
year their numbers had decreased in termsof recruits by like over twelve hundred.
I don't even know what that lookslike this year. And that's, by
the way, that's around the country. It's in Texas as well. We
host a job fair, one ofthe largest job fairs in the state.

(01:34:23):
You know, we had nearly sixteenthousand people come last year to get a
job. And we had a wholerow of police departments, Aria police departments
that were looking to hire good people. You know, where they used to
get hundreds of people that would applyfor one job, they're not getting a
lot less than that. And sothey too are hungry for people to apply
and they need applicants. And soI'm not afraid to go outside the country.

(01:34:45):
You know, people who've already puttheir life on the line, and
other states who don't feel like they'regetting the respect that they need, come
on down. You know, there'sa reason why you're doing that job.
There's a reason why you got calledinto, you know, a life of
law enforcement, and you deserve tobe able to do that. And come
Texas because we have a lot ofjobs, We've got a great standard of
living, and we are welcoming toyou as opposed to you know, want

(01:35:06):
to hold you accountable and criminally,you know, for for for some late
doing your job. And I know, with everything going on, especially with
our southern border right now talking aboutenforcement, I wanted to ask you about
this as well, because I knowthere's a there's a budget battle, there's
always a funding battle in the House, and it seems like now I think
what this month, Republicans have whatit's in effect now with Gallagher retiring plus

(01:35:29):
one majority, so it's even tighter. Uh it is. I don't know
if it's ever been this tough forRepublicans because you're the power of the purse.
You don't have that backup in theWhite House. You definitely don't have
the Senate. It's super close inthe Senate. We're in the middle of
an election season. I know thatsome people in purple districts are very very
nervous about things. But at thesame time, you know, you're you
represent a district in Texas. You'relooking at the southern border. You're seeing

(01:35:54):
the deluge coming across that southern border, not just of bodies, but also
of drugs and how that's getting intothe interior. What are you telling,
you're a fellow congressman in DC aswe are lurching towards this, you know,
another another battle over this. Iknow that the GOP's kind of fight
with itself, but what are youtelling it's a battle willing to have it.

(01:36:16):
It's a you know, a hillI'm one to dine on to make
sure that we actually get some securityon a border. And you know,
we talk about what's going on inthese cities with these police officers. Well,
you have sanctuary city policies which donothing more than incentivize folks to come
here illegally and take advantage of thoseincentives. You know, we can't afford
it. We're looking at we're addinga trillion dollars every ninety to one hundred

(01:36:39):
days, another trillion dollars on topof an almost thirty five trillion dollar debt
right now in our country. Itis simply unsustainable. There's going to be
a point in the next few yearswhere we're paying more just to service our
debt than we are on anything else. And you want to talk about a
waste of money, and we cannotcontinue spending that. So, yeah,
there was another Republicans that got back. We had, you know, our

(01:37:01):
preparations bills that just came through thelast couple of weeks. I voted against
them. And the reason why isnot only were we increasing spending, normalizing
this spending that we had during COVID, which was absolutely ridiculous, but we
weren't. We were not securing ourborder. And while the Biden administration wanted
to add more money toward the border. They weren't changing the policies. It's

(01:37:23):
the policies that have led to thecomplete disaster where we've had ten to eleven
million people illegally enter our country inthe last three and a half years.
That need to be changed. Itneeds to be changed back to the policies
that were working under the Trump administration, whether or not that was the remain
in Mexico, whether or not thatwas building continuing to build the wall,
and not allowing people who were here, you know, who are committing crimes,

(01:37:45):
were allowing them to be deep notonly detained, but then deported.
You know, this administration's taken thatoff the table and taken the removed the
remain in Mexico off the table.They've added the CVP APP where people could
just apply over their phones and getinto our country, and they've had massive
parole release. It was always supposedto be a one on one, case
by case basis. Instead, whatSecretary of my Orchis has done, which

(01:38:06):
is one of the reasons why Ivoted to impeach, is he's allowing mass
parolies to come into our streets.And by the way, that's that's one
who who happened to murder a twentytwo year old nursing student in Georgia.
This cannot be allowed to stand.And unless this this Congress, unless this
administration is willing to take that seriously. You know, we have the power

(01:38:30):
of the person. I will continueto vote against those bills that do not
address the order. Last question foryou. Talking with Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne,
my congresswoman as well Texas twenty fourthdistrict, you talked about the power
of the purse the Appropriations Committee.I know with Kay Granger leaving, they're
gonna they're like, why don't you, I mean, has anyone suggested Congresswoman
Van Dyne is the chair of theAppropriations Committee. I'm not on the Appropriations

(01:38:53):
Committee. I'm on Ways and Means. We're seventy percent of our need they
need, but they think they needyour own Appropriations Committee because, I mean,
unlike some of the Republicans in Congress, you actually understand economics and I
just feel Cain and I are bothin agreement on this. I feel like
that should that should be a thing, and maybe runways and means too.

(01:39:14):
I don't know all of them.Well, I'll look at a tax policy.
Right now, I'm looking at healthcare, I'm looking at trade, holding
Mexico's feed to the fire as theycontinue not only letting people across our border,
looking at fetanol that's killed over onehundred and ten thousand people, but
also the jobs that they're taking andhow they are not abiding by our current
trade agreements. Those are all thingsthat we could use. How we had
a strong you know, a chiefin the White House, we could use

(01:39:39):
that to force Mexico's hand to helpus at the border and secure in our
border. But we obviously don't,which is why you've seen so much outbreaking
there in foreign wars across the worldbecause we don't have a strong chief right
now in the White House. Andit's affecting not only you know, other
areas in the Middle East and Europe, over in Ukraine, potentially Taiwan,
but it's hurting us right here aswe're having numbers of military aged men,

(01:40:02):
signal men coming through our border thatare on the terrorists watch lists, that
are with the CCP and are arehere to cause barm And it's not if,
but when, and unfortunately until weget a stronger person, uh,
you know, President Trump in inNovember, somebody who will actually help our
law enforcement. Uh, it's backthem and support them. Until that happens,

(01:40:25):
We're going to concede to see thelawlessness that is one ramp in in
the last three and a half years. And and if Heaven forbid, there
isn't a victory in November. Girl'sjob in Congress is going to get that
much harder. I have never beenless envious of a job in my whole
life. Oh my word. Anduh, well, I mean you're in
the right spot because you're you're you'rea tough woman, so you're in a

(01:40:46):
you're in a you're right where youneed to be. Congresswoman Beth Van Dye.
We appreciate you fighting the good fightin DC. We we we appreciate
your voice, and thank you somuch for supporting law enforcement. And uh
I I feel like we're going toget some good recruits out of this from
New York. So I love it. I'm looking forward to it. I'm
in touch with the chiefs that like, let me know, let me know
when you get folks that are applying, because we need him down here.

(01:41:10):
Yeah, well we'll take him downhere. We'll love him, take them
down here absolutely, Congresswoman Beth VanDyne, always a pleasure. Thanks so
much. We'll talk with you againsoon. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify
or wherever you get your podcasts,because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. I
mean, it's just and think ofthe things he says. Look at the

(01:41:31):
way he talks about minority populations andHispanics and now we're talking about them being
anyway. It's just I can't thinkof them any other time in my lifetime
in history has occurred that you've hadsomebody who's had this kind of attitude.
What is he talking about specifically,he's saying that, that's Joe Biden telling

(01:41:54):
Univision. Look at the way Trumptalks about minority populations in his Spanish world,
like how number one, How That'sthe first thing that I thought of.
And then the second thing when hewas discussing people crossing the border illegally,
he was saying, you can't veteveryone. I heard the whole speech
that he gave, because he didit. He gave it right after I

(01:42:17):
was off air, and I wasin my office and I listened to the
whole speech, and he was talkingabout he actually did mention Hispanics that live
near the border and how they're terrorizedby illegal immigration and cartels. And then
that's when he got into you know, they're not sending us their best talking
about you know, he's joking aboutwhat these other countries because after he was
trying to get help from Mexico's presidentat the time, and he was specifically

(01:42:42):
talking about criminals that are hiding inthe herds of people that are crossing into
the United States. So you havepeople who commit the crime of crossing into
the United States, and then youhave criminals who commit another crime by crossing
into the United States. Democrats knowhe was talking about that because that's a
position that they used to previously haveuntil it became advantageous for them not to

(01:43:04):
actually until they needed more votes.Now have you noticed every single time Joe
Biden gets in front of any kindof Latino, Hispanic voter, what does
he talk about, Just like heonly talks about abortion to the women,
he talks about that to Hispanic populations. Is that not racist? Like to
me, that seems racist because I'mpretty sure that voters of all demos care

(01:43:25):
about like jobs, you like,if you don't vote for him, you're
not black. Yeah, yeah,these kids grown up in a racial jungle.
Yeah yeah yeah, and eulogizing thatone grand lizard whatever guy, Yeah
yeah yeah, good stuff. Allright, we've got to get too stupid.
Yes, today's stupid. We gotso much of it today. But
Shela Jackson Lee, this is herclaiming the moon is made of gas provide

(01:43:46):
unique lights and energy so that youhave the energy of the moon at night.
And sometimes you've heard the word fullmoon. Yeah, I've heard that.
Sometimes you need to take the opportunitiesto come out and see a full
moon. Is that complete rounded circlewhich is made up mostly of gas?
It's not, though, who's dumbor her? The guy said Guam would
