Speaker 1 (00:00):
On healthcare and betraying a promise. It is inescapable that
this bill in its current form will betray the very
promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval office
or in the Cabinet room when I was there with finance,
where he said we can go after waste, fraud and

(00:21):
abuse on any programs. Now, those amateurs that are advising him,
not doctor Oz, I'm talking about White House healthcare experts,
refused to tell him that those instructions that were to
eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, all of a sudden eliminates

(00:42):
a government program that's called the provider tax. We have
morphed a legal construct that admittedly has been abused and
should be eliminated, and to waste fraud and abuse.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
So that's Tom Tillis. Yesterday they were actually all weekend
they were fighting over the big beautiful bill that the
Senate is now passing. Now, remember, we got everything's got
to be reconciled with the House. There's still a little
bit of ways to go, but we're going to have
some of the details on that. Because there there were
some things that came out and that you know, I

(01:19):
think that really made a number of lawmakers obviously unhappy
because of the still spending. That's I mean, it's the
same damn topic. You guys know what it is. It's
they don't they say they're going to change something, they
don't actually change it because they don't have the will
to change it. And then you had people like Lisim
Murkowski who were cutting deals for Alaskans, for their Susan Collins,

(01:42):
Lisam Murkowski, you had a number of other lawmakers that
were cutting specialized deals for themselves. So we all basically
get the shaft on it. But these lawmakers were able
to get We're able to kind of like similar to
the salt thing, you know. So it's there's a lot
still to go and there's some things to unpack. I

(02:03):
think that the July fourth date, which is why we're
talking about it right now. Some of you have emailed
to ask, well, what is up with the significance of
passing this thing by July fourth, Like why July fourth?
And my answer to you is there is none. It's
just like this arbitrary deadline. I think that they wanted

(02:24):
to just have the optic of being able to say
we got this stuff passed, we got it passed by
you know, the fourth of July. We were able to
really do this. This is great, and honestly, I think
it's just to have that that talking point for that,
you know, to just to be able to say that,
which to me is inconsequential. Who cares because we care

(02:45):
about the spended that's in it. I mean, obviously we
care about the the the amount of taxpayer dollars that
are still going towards things like the Green New Deal
and all of the big spending. I mean, we still
had Green New Deal, we still have a lot of
Obamacare era spending. There's additional waste, fraud and abuse that

(03:07):
hasn't been cut because if you remember the Doge recommendations,
that was one hundred and seventy somethingter billion compared to
you know, the actual increase in spending that we're seeing
proposed here. So a lot of the criticisms that you
hear about it are accurate. I mean, the criticisms are accurate,
and I think that that also a lot of the

(03:29):
things that could have been done to change it, lawmakers,
to change this and to add you know, actual accountability
just not happening. So welcome to the show, Dania, lash
with you. We're at the top of this first hour
of the program, and we're going to get into all
of this. Get you set up. I'm going to be
out from Wednesday for the rest of the week, taken

(03:50):
a few days, need to take a little time. Everets
canes out for the rest of the week. So we
are We have nobody controlling the dump button today. I
say that in Steve and both get nervous. No one's
controlling it today. No one's going to know what happens.
So we'll get in. We got a lot of stuff
to discuss also, just some of the latest, so we

(04:10):
got that the big beautiful bill. You also have Ma'm Danny,
and I'm never going to say his name the way
I think that he wants it said. You have Ma'm
Danny who had a very interesting interview over the weekend,
and he was saying that he's tired of billionaires. He

(04:31):
doesn't think we should have them. Audio sound bite ten.
Listen to this democratic socialist. Do you think that billionaires
have a right to exist?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly,
it is so much money in a moment of such inequality,
and ultimately what we need more of is equality across
our city and across our state and across our country.
And I look forward to work with everyone, including billionaires,
to make a city that is fairer for all of them.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
What So he's against billionaires and he says it's because
there's inequality that's running amok. Whenever I hear Marxist talk
about inequality, they act like it's some kind of event
that's struck up on you. They act as though inequality
just simply happens, and that it's not the conclusion of many,
many choices that led to that exact point. When he

(05:22):
talks about inequality, I always ask these leftists, well, what
do you think inequality is? Like, what are you talking
about inequality? What do you think inequality is? And I
really just feel that they think, well, inequality as somebody
has too much money? Okay, well how do they get
too much money? I had this piece and I've talked
about this before. It's this it's this old, uh not old,

(05:43):
it's maybe like not even maybe almost ten years old.
This piece that ran this is a while ago where
they were examining as though it matters, but they were
examining wealth and this idea of generational wealth is. It's fiction.
It doesn't doesn't have exists. There's no I mean generational wealth.
This idea that we have these like old billionaires that

(06:05):
pass everything down from generation to generation literally doesn't exist.
The last people really who did that were the Waltons,
and then one of them ended up being a Marxist,
so you see how well that worked. But this this
concept that most money is old money is not accurate
and it's illiberal. It completely ignores, you know, the digital boom,

(06:25):
everything else, all of the other new businesses that have
been able to be created, the technology that's created new industries,
and all of the money in the United States, like
ninety nine percent of it is new money. It's all
neu vau reach. It's all you know, people like Zuckerberg's
and people like Gates and people like Jeff Bezos who
ended who worked and literally created something out of nothing.

(06:47):
They created everything that they have. And then there are
people who were given some money and had a great
start that they were given by their parents as is
they're right in the United States, and they ended up
they gave a little bit to the next generation, and
the next generation built upon that and made some great things.
This idea from him on the idea that there's we

(07:11):
shouldn't have billionaires, that you should be prevented from succeeding
after a certain point, or you should be prevented from
accumulating so much, you know, fruit of your labor, because
that's somehow unequal. Well compare it to the amount of
effort that's put in to get that outcome. I mean,
this is the reasoning of someone who has never held again.

(07:33):
I've told you this, He's never held a job, he's
never worked a job. He is a failed rapper, and
his mom directed his music videos that will cringe you
to death. So I would suggest that you do not
go and watch them. But this concept, it's so Marxist
and this is I mean, for him to be doing
as well as he is in Manhattan is I think

(07:56):
a very interesting changing of the guard in terms of
ideaslogy on the left. Very interesting. We're going to talk
more about this and dive more into it. But in
addition to this, we also had this insane news that
came out of Idaho yesterday. We had two fatalities and
numerous others who were injured. As this sniper they named him.
I don't want to name him, but they named him.

(08:17):
They did find him dead outside of Cordioline and Idaho
on Sunday evening. He killed two firefighters they have not
been identified, left a third critically ill, critically injured excuse me,
after he started a brush fire to lure police out
and bait the fire department. He was identified. The one
photo has been circulating and his name is circulating. But

(08:39):
they were able to recover his body before the blaze
spread across Canfield Mountain and that was the first fire
was reported almost around one thirty yesterday mountain time, and
they when the fire and rescue responded, they were shot
and killed. Whether we're scoping out the scene. The third
one was struck and he was just decribed his fighting

(09:00):
for his life after his rushed to surgery before they
announced that he was in stable condition after surgery. But
they said that it was a total ambush and just
complete pandemonium. And at one point there was a notice
from the sheriff law enforcement that had said, all right,
if you're in the area, you might want to go

(09:21):
ahead and take this guy. I think we have like
the audio that came in on this, do we not, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
go ahead and play this, thank you.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Well.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Peep in that the area needs to be very careful
because the church is also said that if anybody gets
a clear shot at the shooter shooters, that they should
take him out. And this is going to make it
very difficult for law enforcement to try to determine who
is in their sights. Maybe there's some innocent people and

(09:54):
they certainly don't want to.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
The sheriff said they have the authority to go out
and shoot and kill the guy. That if you see shot,
take the shot, and they deployed two helicopters. That one
of the big issues with the area is the UH.
Obviously the tree line, the foliage a lot of groundcover,
so it's very difficult to to kind of scope that
out from the air. They were working really hard, but
they finally they I guess he killed himself. It didn't.

(10:18):
They're still coming out with information. They had press briefing
yesterday where they didn't give a lot of information out
but uh, just horrible stuff. And they they had the
UH bodies of the two firefighters who were killed. They
they brought them out in a procession yesterday. Super sad.
But there was one firefighter who said that he had

(10:38):
two battalion chiefs that were down.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
He was heard of the radio saying to oh, come
up here, trying to warn everyone because they realized a
little too late that they had been baited to come
out to respond to that. It's just horrific, just absolutely awful,
an awful, awful way to start the week with that
kind of news.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
But thankfully too, there were there, there were able to
recover the body and still investigating all of this stuff.
Like I said, I know I've see photos and stuff
of this guy's name circulating, but I don't. We're really
I get really weird about that because, as you remember,
after Parkland, there were a lot of want to be
copycat attempts, and the after Columbine they did a couple

(11:20):
of studies and it showed that when people like this
get their name in the press, it does inspire copycat
events and people want to they want to model whatever
crime that they want to perpetrate out on what they're
reading about in the press. In fact, the Parkland murderer
when he was being interviewed by police, that's one of
the things that he had said. Uh. And just horrifying stuff.

(11:40):
So we've got a lot we've got headlines to get into.
We've got the latest with what's happening in the Senate
as we move our partners that help bring you the program.
It's our friends over at burn a Gun. It's always
good to have options and diversify your weapons array. I
have no problem with defending myself or my loved ones
by carrying a firearm. I have no problems using lethal force.

(12:01):
I also recognize that there are times when you are
restricted from carrying by local or municipal areas, and therefore
you want to be able to have some options for
your self defense. And when you consider that regular stunt
guns only offer one or two rounds, the Burner gun
is a good way to incorporate some additional some continued
protection in your weapons array. And there's two options now.

(12:25):
The cl is their newest the SD. The Burner SD,
which is their pistol, was their most popular round. And
these things, by the way, shoot chemical irritant projectiles that
can disable threats from up to fifty feet away, and
you have legal flexibility because they don't care about gun
free zone signs. This is great for college students who
aren't old enough to carry a firearm, but yet they
have to live by themselves in a different city far

(12:45):
from their family. You want to make sure they're still protected.
And there's no permits, nothing, it's accessible to everybody. The
CL is their newest CL stands for Compact Launcher. It
is about thirty percent smaller and lighter than the SD.
They have rifles in that as well. But for this purpose,
I would recommend you look at the SD or the
CL and super affordable and they, like I said, can

(13:06):
get them shipped right to your front door. So check
out either the SD or especially ladies, the CL, the
Compact Launcher which is smaller. At burnout dot com slash
Dana by r Ina dot com slash Dana burnout Ready
when you are.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
So Hertz customers are mad over AI powered scanners that
detect small marks and they charge one hundreds hundreds of dollars,
Like one got four hundred and forty dollars because they
had a tiny it was under one inch and it
was a scuff that well, and the renter, the leaser
was saying that it was there even beforehand, but still
they said there there's no recourse to dispute the charges,

(13:49):
and that they're getting charged hundreds of dollars for minor
scrapes and dents that are detected by their new AI
powered scanner. So it's very interesting. I'm actually surprised this
hasn't been used beforehand, but I don't know. I think
that if you have, I think there should be some
discretion used, I think when evaluating those things. But I
can definitely see this being abused. Absolutely. We're going to

(14:09):
talk about this one coming up wrap duo Bob Villain's
anti Israel and it wasn't just an anti Israel chant.
I mean, this guy was like pro Hamas at Glastonbury
and a big British festival, and he was screaming death
to the IDF at the festival and they were saying free,
free Palestine, death death to the IDF. And now he

(14:32):
was supposed to come to the United States and tour
and now that's not happening because they pulled it. They
pulled his ability to come here. He's had his visa,
they've terminated his ability. We're going to talk more about
this to come to the United States. Severe storms in Minnesota,
they had tornadoes up there, thousands are sold without power,
and they had tornadoes that caused a lot of damage

(14:53):
in the western metro area. I mean, you don't really
hear about a lot of tornadoes in Minnesota, so that
was very I mean, you hear it like a Missouri
or Kansas and Oklahoma and Texas don't really hear I mean,
I'm sure they have them, but this is the verse
time in a long time that I've heard about tornadoes
in Minnesota. But they said that day thousands are still
without power up there. The Defense Department is going to

(15:15):
stop providing crucial satellite weather data. That's kind of interesting.
They said that they're no longer going to provide it
about with hurricane season crucial information. They were operating satellites
that were collecting information about conditions in the atmosphere and
ocean in a group within the Navy called Fleet Numerical
Meteorology and Oceanography Center. They processed it, they turned it

(15:37):
over to people who used it for all kinds of stuff.
But they said that there's no I mean, they said
that everybody else basically has forecasting capability. There's not any
reason why they still need to do this. But they
said that apparently space Force. It's also about creating departments
within Space Force and kind of moving some of those
responsibilities over as well. A Colorado funeral home homeowner was

(15:58):
sentenced to twenty after they stashed this is gross one
hundred and ninety dekain bodies. Oh my gosh, this guy's
in major trouble with us. I can't even imagine being
the family. They said, this is not an ordinary fraud case,
and the details weren't the maximum sentence. The individual received
it too. He was found guilty of stashing one hundred
and ninety bodies and a decrepit building and sending families

(16:20):
fake ashes of their loved ones. John Halford, the owner
of Return to Nature funeral Home, was sentenced to twenty years.
He was telling people that the ashes that they receiving,
that that was their loved ones, when in fact it wasn't,
and he was storing the bodies in this old building,
and he said, oh, hey, I hate myself for what
I've done, probably not as much as the families that,
Oh my goodness, I can't imagine. They said that it

(16:41):
was a bug infested building in Penrose, Colorado, and some
of them were piled incredibly high. They had to have
FBI agents put down boards because they couldn't even walk.
They didn't want to walk through the fluid. It was
a biohazard. So and they families discovered it because they
noticed they they were able to reveal that the loved
ones were not cremated and the ashes they receive were

(17:03):
fake and in one instance the wrong body was buried.
This is a horror story. And also the Victor Rabond
and Hungary accused the EU of orchestrating a giant Pride march.
In Hungary, they don't allow kind of marches and any
kind of protests of that nature, so they're fighting with

(17:24):
the EU over this. We have a lot more on
the way stick with us. Superberine is about healthy metabolism
and supporting healthy blood sugar levels, and the super Beats,
as you know, is all about heart health. It's about
heart health, blood pressure support, all of that, and so
Superberine from the same people who make super Beats. It's
doctor formulated, plant based as a unique form of burbering
and Italian olifrred extract, so you get additional antioxidant cardiovascular support.

(17:48):
And the berberine is unique. It's been clinically studied to
deliver ten times higher absorption than standard burbering fewer pills
to swallow, so you're getting higher absorption that means fewer pills.
One highly concentrated, easy to swallow capsule daily no gi
distressed because Superbrien includes GrapeSEED extract for greater tolerability. You
can find built the superborine and superbatartooes at Sam's Club.

(18:11):
Restock your heartthealth support with superbatarchooes and expande or routine
with superberine for healthy metabolism and blood sugar support. Start today,
get on the road to better cardiovascular health.

Speaker 9 (18:35):
Brown people from different backgrounds. The worst socialism is weaponized
is some kind of you know, anti American thing, and
you know Senator jillib Brandon others seem to have fallen
victim to that level of ignorance and miseducation.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, yeah, because it is a pretty Unamerican thing. I mean,
it's socialism. It's completely antithy to the way that our
republicsts set up and work that was established in the
way it works. So it's Jamal Bowman who's not the
brightest bulb in the box. And they're upset whenever those words,
which are accurately used, whenever they are used to describe

(19:18):
what it is the left does and the stuff that
they that they promote in their policies. And I think
it's funny that they take such offense to it. Well,
then don't do it. I mean, if you're taking offense
to it, then clearly you see that it's bad. So
why then do you have phrases like democratic socialists and
things like that, made up terms that people use as
a way to sort of blunt the full effect of

(19:38):
what that term means. Welcome back to the program. They
don't last with you. We're at the bottom of this
first hour here as we rule towards Independence Day and
things to still update you on, particularly as it pertains
to the battle continually over the bill that's in the Senate,
the big beautiful bill in the Senate that was able

(19:59):
to pass true only because there were some Republicans, some
rhinos that were cutting some deals. It was actually a
deeply unpopular bill I mean, I know a lot of
people talk about, oh, well the tax cuts. Yeah, but
the tax cuts are all temporary, and I don't look,
I what we pay in tax I don't want taxes
to go up at all. I just don't understand why

(20:19):
A we couldn't have done more and B also why
it's only temporary. I mean, I know the answers to
why it's kind of rhetorical so that they could get
the sort of score that they needed from the Congressional
Budgetary Office. Remember, it's like a prompt with AI. It's
it only spits out what it's fed. I mean, you

(20:40):
have to you know, like you would however, you prompt
AI to return a desired query. That's pretty much the CBO.
I mean they so they can sit here and say, well,
it's not actually going to be expensive, and here's why.
Because tax cuts are going to be temporary. The CBO
doesn't add a caveat into that when it spits out results.
So it's in Democratic and Republicans both do this. This

(21:01):
is they did this with Obamacare too, to try to
fudge some of the stuff with Obamacare. So the bill
is there's still again it's still being debated We're going
to talk to Chip Roy coming up at some point
about this going through the Senate. I just don't understand
the whole We got to pass it by July fourth.
It's just such a meaningless arbitrary date. I mean, even

(21:22):
after all of the revisions that they had, it's still
a really bad bill. And the Trump tax cuts and
this was the other thing. I mean, they still could
have fought over this, and they still had time because
the tax cuts that from twenty seventeen don't expire until
December thirty first of this year, so you still had
a handful of months. They were they I mean, they

(21:45):
really should have cut it into sections and then done
each piece separately. But you know, no one's gonna it's DC.
I mean it's Washington, d C. So we're going to
talk with a congressman, Chip Roy about this coming up.
So all of that to keep an eye on as well.
We were discussing a little earlier, the uh I'm pull

(22:09):
this up. We were talking about ma'm I can't. I
struggle says saying, Mam Danny, this guy and more of
his platform is coming out and it's weird. Have you
noticed that the only republic are The only Democrats that
seem to get behind him, and I've noticed this as well,
are really just only New York Democrats. There's really not

(22:31):
a lot of people getting behind this guy, or at
least you know, you have your aocs, and you have
your Bernie Sanders's and you have those types of people,
but you're not seeing a lot of other individuals get
behind him. I think they're incredibly nervous. They're very nervous
about getting behind him with this, and it doesn't help
that while this is happening in New York, you're contrasting

(22:54):
with Republican kind of failure in the Senate. One of
the things with Man Danny is that, just to kind
of give you insight as to those supporters, he was
making a joke, well, kind of making a joke. He
had said. This was what I think back like, he
had one tweet he made a joke kind of about

(23:16):
nine to eleven. A Man Danny supporter made a joke
about him supporting nine to eleven, and then the guy
had to delete it because everybody thought it was real.
Some of the stuff that I think his supporters and
this guy's platform, the more that you read about it,
I mean, the crazier it becomes. We had I think
last week we were discussing the issue of he wants

(23:36):
to tax like all the white neighborhoods, well more taxes
for wider neighborhoods. And this was on top of saying
that billionaires shouldn't exist. I mean they do, but whatever,
I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem if he was
a billionaire, he wouldn't have a problem with it at all.
But the plans that he has been promoting out there

(23:57):
is it's pretty wild, including freezing rents on not just
like property and like a personal residential, but business rent
for businesses, et cetera. His I don't know how his
plan is going to work. It sounds like an elementary
school erote it. This guy has I have no idea

(24:17):
how he thinks that this is any of this is
going to work. Not only that, again taxing the wider
and everybody. He doesn't think that billionaires should exist. He
thinks that there should be additional because New York has
a number of billionaires. He thinks that billionaire should essentially
have greater, even more restrictions on the stuff that they
do in Manhattan, whether it's business, et cetera. I mean
this is like he wants to treat people who are

(24:40):
successful basically make them pay a ton of syntaxes for
being successful. I saw that the mayor book O Raton
was saying, yeah, come on down New Yorkers that don't
want to live under this site, this kind of Marxism.
I don't think that. I don't think the Floridians want
to welcome anybody that would entertain voting for this guy,
or that voted for this guy and then didn't like

(25:00):
how it went after the fact. Very interesting. Uh. Also
we had this a story about this group that was
in playing this festival overseas. It was in Glastonbury. It's
their big festival that they have in Britain, and the
US government pulled the visas of these It's they they
call them, these British punk rappers band Bob Villain because

(25:21):
they went on this tirade again we're screaming, uh, death
to the IDF. We have some of the audio of
it here. I mean this was like they played this
huge festival.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Flying flun fleeing fun.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
Hi.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Have you heard this one?

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Though?

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Deaf theft to the IVF, theF.

Speaker 7 (25:43):
To the IVFF, to the id F.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Wow, all those people chanting like lemmons, like lemmings these states.
They were supposed to come to the United States and
tour and the United States was like, no, we don't
want that, so they revoked them the visas for them
members of that group after they they led the crowd
in death chance. And that was a Deputy Secretary of
State Christopher Landau. He posted this on x and said, yeah, this,

(26:11):
We're not going to have this over here. They were
trying to, they were leading these chants, and this was
on Saturday when this was happening. I saw it was
trending over the weekend and I was trying to stay
have social media over the weekend, and I mean that.
I mean that's wow. That would count. So of course
the Left likes them, but they're not going to be

(26:31):
able to come over after this that they were supposed to.
I think they had a number of dates here in
the United States, a handful of them, and now nope,
not happening now. In addition to it over in what
gets me is like, okay, so they I don't know
if this was in Britain. Some police were investigating it.
So it was in Avon at Somerset. They've announced that
they've opened up an investigation into what they called a

(26:53):
public order incident. I just want to compare the reaction
to from the British authorities into this. Compare it to
do you guys remember the video of the little kid
who got in trouble because she remarked and apparently she's
on the spectrum and she's, you know, quite young, and

(27:15):
her grandmother apparently has very short hair and is lesbian.
And she was on video telling this female police officer
that she looked like lesbian because she had short hair
and was similar in appearance to her grandmother. And they
were trying to go after and arrest this little kid
for hate speech. You guys remember this whole thing, Like
they showed up at her house, they brought the police

(27:36):
to their house. It's all on camera. They're like a
number of examples of this. If the authorities over there
hear you saying something that you don't like, they show
up to your house. If you post something that hurts
someone's feelings on social media, it's actionable. But then you
have these guys that literally get on a stage in
front of thousands of people and are screaming death, death

(27:58):
to the IDF and like hate like violence, like they're
what they're calling for is violence. It's not I you know,
I dislike these people and that's the chant because it's
not as fun. But they're screaming about actual like trying
to incite violence. And oh, well, there's been an investigation open.
There's an investigation that's been open. Now, oh yes, the
senior detective has been appointed to lead this investigation. What

(28:21):
the hell are you investigating? I mean, if a little
kid gets in trouble for saying that a short haired,
you know, tom boyish looking female cop looks like her
lesbian grandmother and they're trying to get her for a
quote unquote hate speech, why is that such a different
reaction to this? This is amazing to me. So, oh no,

(28:42):
Now we've got an assessment. We've decided this was their
actual statement. Following the completion of the assessment process, we've
decided further inquies are required and in a criminal investigation
is not being undertaken. Now, these are their rules. These
are their rules. So what else do you need to investigate?

(29:02):
The guy's on camera saying this stuff. I'm just curious,
according to their rules, what else is it that they
need to investigate? Doesn't make any sense. And so there
was a really good piece that Ian hersy Ali had
over at the FP and the subhead was, it's a
brilliant strategy and its simplicity. You paint Israel as the

(29:24):
nexus of evil, and then you paint every Jew who
doesn't renounce it as complicit, and then you force them
to choose dignity or safety. And of course she was
going off on this. I mean, this was like on
one of their main stages, broadcast live on the BBC,
and the best that they can do is, well, we're
having an investigation. Now. I'm a free speech person, but

(29:45):
I can't help but again point out the drastic difference
between in treatment of people. If it seems that you're
of this particular political persuasion or you're of this particular ideology,
you get in an investigation, but if you're anything else,
then you get a police visit at your house. I

(30:06):
just feel like that's very very lopsided. Our partners that

Speaker 10 (31:46):
The hour Glass.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
So are the days of the United.

Speaker 11 (31:49):
States cause so many men have no idea about what
women go through.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Right.

Speaker 11 (31:58):
We haven't been researched, we haven't been considered, and it
still affects the way. A lot of male lawmakers, a
lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders
think about the issue of choice as if it's just
about the fetus, the baby. But women's reproductive health is

(32:21):
about our life. It's about this whole complicated reproductive system
that does the least of what it does is produce life.
It's a very important thing that it does. But you
only produce life if the machine that's producing it. If
you want to whittle us down to a machine if

(32:43):
the machine is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way.
But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
That's one of the most absinine things I think I've
ever heard anyone older than me say, I can't it
doesn't even that doesn't even make any sense. Which and
she's the one who's whittling down that's that's former First
Lady Michelle Obama. She's the one who's whittling women down
to be nothing but machines. And to say that, well,
you know, that's the least of what it does is life.
That's the whole purpose of the system. What is the

(33:17):
purpose of having those organs if not for that purpose?
What is the purpose of having ovaries if not for
that purpose? What is the what's the role of the
uterus if not for that purpose? This this complete diminishment.
This is not unlike how transactivists try to diminish women.
And this is where they're incredibly similar to third and

(33:39):
fourth wave feminists, to try to diminish the ability of women.
Men cannot do what women can do. And hear this
woman is trying to downplay the major difference between men
and women the one thing that men cannot do, which
is grow and nurture life, and they want to rob

(34:01):
women of that distinction as well, rob women of being
able to celebrate that distinction. This is why I say
they're completely the same as transactivists, because they want to
rob women of our distinct capabilities. They want to rob
women of our distinct capabilities and rob us of that

(34:26):
distinct individual trait. I just when I heard her say that,
when I was listening the first time I saw that sound,
But I thought that it's you think that's the least.
What is the point of the system then, If it's
not to do that, what is the point of having
all of that? If not for that purpose, it's just

(34:46):
to have a uterus for fun. You go through all
of that for fun. She tried to backtrack because they
think as she was saying that, she realized how insane
she sounded. That, Well, you know, and it's a great thing,
but no, no, it's an amazing thing. It's an amazing
thing to be able to do it. It's amazing that

(35:07):
women have that ability. It's amazing that women are set
apart in that manner. So I the whole thing and her,
her approach to her perspective of it. That's just shocking. No,
it's the least. No, it's the greatest thing that a
person can do, that a woman can do. That's the
whole purpose of that system, you know, it's to be

(35:31):
able to have that in diminish it. And how does
that even sound to women who struggle with fertility issues
that she just downplays it like that, Oh, that's like
the least of what. Wow, way to diminish what so
many women have in their hearts and minds. Good night.
I don't know what her what she's been doing lately,

(35:52):
but she's she does this podcast and I don't know
if she's trying to join the commentariat or what it is.
But every single episode that I've seen, or every eaten
episode but clip that I've seen of her, it's always
her complaining about something. She's complaining about. Oh well, the
way that women are viewed and no one talks about

(36:13):
everybody talks about it. I have grown up hearing bitching
and moaning about this is what women endure. And I
say this as a woman who's got their stuff, But
oh my gosh, Well, you know, if you're going to
just try to whittle us down to being a machine.
That's what you're doing. You're trying to whittle women down
to every bad experience that they have in life and
use that exception as the universal. We have a lot

(36:35):
more on the way. Second hour coming up. Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 12 (37:38):
You mentioned the diversity of your district, including a lot
of Jewish constituents. Mamdanie has made comments that some have
said veer towards anti Semitism. His initial statement after October seventh,
he criticized the Israeli government but didn't criticize Hamas. He
defended the use of the word globalize or the phrase

(37:59):
globalized into fada, and he even said that the Israeli
Prime Minister Nato should be arrested or he would if
you were mayor he would arrest nat Yao if he
visited New York City. Do these things concern you?

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Globalizing the anti Fada, by way of example, is not
an acceptable phrase, and he's going to have to clarify
his position on that as he moves forward with respected Did.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
You no, Yeah, you think he's gonna have to so,
Jeffries and all the other all these other Democrats. They
are having a time trying to get this, trying to
kind of justify or defend this candidacy of this dude
in New York who's getting a lot of attention that
ma'am Danny, welcome back to the program. Top of the
second hour, Dana lash with you, and he was this

(38:43):
wasn't a MSNBC audio somebody eleven To that point, he's
refusing to condemn the any of that. I mean, I
think that this kind of clarifies it enough, don't you think,
audio somebody eleven?

Speaker 13 (38:56):
Do you condemn that phrase globalize the Intafada?

Speaker 3 (39:00):
That's not language that I use. The language that I
use and the language that I will continue to use
to lead this city is that which speaks clearly to
my intent, which is an intent grounded in a belief
in universal human rights. And ultimately that's what is the
foundation of so much of my politics, the belief that
freedom and justice and safety are things that to have
meaning have to be applied to all people, and that

(39:21):
includes Israelis and Palestinians's life.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
But do you actually condemn it?

Speaker 13 (39:25):
I think that's the question and the outstanding issue that
a number of people both of the Jewish faith and
beyond have do you condemn that phase globalize the intofado,
which a lot of people here is a call to
violence against Jews.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
I've heard from many Jewish New Yorkers who have shared
their concerns with me, especially in light of the horrific
attacks that we saw in Washington, d c. And in
Colder in Boulder, Colorado, about this moment of antisemitism in
our country and our city. And I've heard those fears,
and I've had those conversations, and ultimately they are part
and parcel of why in my campaign I've put forward

(39:59):
a commitment to inc He's funding for anti hate crime
programming by eight hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
So he didn't answer the question. I mean, he's good,
but he's not that good at dancing around it. I mean,
Gavin Newsom is better at dodging issues than he is
and so he just makes it look awkward and it's
really trying of your patients. So said, do you condemn it? Well,
I mean, it's not the language. That's not what we asked.
If that's the language you idios, we're asking you, do
you condemn that phrase? We don't give a rats asked

(40:25):
about the language you need. Do you condemn this phrase? Well,
you know, and that's not a part of what I am,
which is, you know, my plan. I mean, that was
some Kamala Harris level salad right there that you guys
just got. That was some that was some serious Kamala
Harris type like dodging and ducking to try to not
answer that question. And I mean that's the clarification right there.

(40:49):
He of course he believes this stuff. He absolutely endorses
it because he's not condemning it. I mean, he all
but shouts at himself that, right there is enough. He
didn't answer the question. He won't answer the question. He thinks, well,
you know, and then it's what I'm definitely hearing from
people in my voters in my area. I'm okay, that's
not what we asked. Did you do you condemn the phrase?

(41:12):
And I wish, you know, Kristen Welker would have would
have drilled down on him a little bit more than
what she did. She came back a second time. I
was like, yes, but the issue is condemned. Do you
condemn the state? And he still wouldn't answer her. I
mean she should drill him on this. Well, yes, but
you didn't answer the question yet, And this is really
the whole point of why you're sitting here. Do you
condemn it or not? Yes or no? Don't to I

(41:32):
don't want to hear about what I've heard from people.
Or it's not the language I would use. Do you
condemn it? If it's not the language you would use,
then you should be able to condemn it unless you
share the sentiment and you're just too cowardly to use it.
And you're trying to convince people that you know you are.
He's trying to triangulate, he's trying to act like he's
above the issue but also part of it. Have have
some balls say either say yeah, I totally endorse that,

(41:53):
or oh no, I don't endorse it, but have the
courage of a conviction to take a stand. Gosh, this
guy is so sleazy. All the people that are falling
out over him to be fluffers for communist government is
just amazing to me. And what a dodge. Well do
you condemn it? Well, you know I've heard from Net's
not what we asked. Do you condemn it? Yes or no?
It's really simple, really simple to answer this question, But

(42:17):
that's his candidacy. Well, I you know audio somebody twelve. Listen,
this is communism. This is communism. Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
What the purpose is about this entire project. It's not
simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism, and
obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that.
But making sure that we have candidates that both understand
that and are willing to put that forward at every
which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that
they are given. We have to continue to elect more socialists,

(42:46):
and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about
our socialism. There are also other issues that we firmly
believe in, whether it's BDS right or whether it's the
end goal of seizing the means of production.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
So, I mean it's a little Hitler hearing him, hearing
him do this. I mean he looks like little Hitler
with this. There's more, but wait, there's more audio SoundBite fourteen.
Listen to this. So the third holy grail of taboos
in American politics. You have socialism of Islam and then

(43:22):
you have Palestine, and you are really going for the trifecta.

Speaker 12 (43:26):
Let's go ready, let's go tell me why is Palestine
a part of your politics.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
When you grow up as someone, especially in the Third World,
you have a very different understanding of the Palacine and struggle.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
I mean, the elected terrorists, So don't elect terrorists. I mean,
it's pretty simple to understand that basic reference. This is
a guy who is a he's a communist, and he
I mean, he's trying to not be a little Hitler,
or he's trying to act like he's not. I mean,
I don't know how else you say this stuff. This
is like some scary I mean, he said his goal
is to elect more he wants to be I mean,

(44:01):
just so everybody knows, Nazis were socialists. Nazi is national socialism,
national socialism, Nazi that's literally where the origin of that
comes from. I mean, this Marxist concept of seizing the
means of production. Oh my gosh, I he I don't know.
I mean again, Nepo baby that's never worked a day

(44:23):
in his life and only became a citizen seven years ago.
Why is it that people that come from totalitarian regimes,
that come from these countries to the United States want
to recreate that here in the United States. I mean,
he's an authoritarian, his answer is always government. We have
to seize the means of production. We have to elect

(44:44):
more socialists. And socialism and communism are just basically two
different pieces of glitter on the same turd. I really
don't know how to put it. It's the same, it's
all the same thing. It's all the same thing. There's
like everyone tries to act, well, there's nuances here. It
all ends the same way. Come on, it all ends

(45:04):
the same way. And he had said, oh, BDS, that's
the movement against Jewish people. So he's and he's got
all of these soundbites previously. This was a video that
he was at a on video for a conference in
twenty twenty one, and that's where that SoundBite comes from.
Where he's he's saying that we have to elect more

(45:25):
socialist and like his sentence, other issues we firmly believe in.
Whether it's BDS et cetera. I mean again, that's a
Hamas born movement as well, it's the boycott, devestment and
sanctions movement. And they try to they target Israel. They
target Israel for what Hamas does, the democratically elected Hamas

(45:47):
in Gaza, they target them for. They target Israel for
what the democratically elect Hamas does to Gazin's in Gaza.
Make that make sense. I don't know this this guy,
don't I mean, he would only play out of New York.
I don't think. I mean, obviously you can't have someone

(46:07):
that would be as who would be as appealing into
New Yorkers across the nation if you took him out
of New York. But that's not the point, right, So
this guy, and I hear a lot of people say,
you know what, that's just New York and it's not
going to change anything anywhere else. I really want to
caution you against them. Let me give you a couple
of examples. So one example, I think everybody remembers Wendy Davis, right,

(46:31):
Wendy Davis in Texas, and how like ten years ago
or so, she was running, She was trying to run
for governor. She was trying to run for a number
of racests. She didn't have a shot in hades of winning.
But that wasn't the point, right. The point was they
were going to use this lightning bolt candidate who did
not have a shot at all whatsoever in winning any
of these races for which she was running. But They

(46:52):
were going to use her as a way to seed
the ground and register voters and raise money and start
having a RepA headative footprint in the minds of voters
in areas that normally would not consider candidates of that
political persuasion. So the the goal was never to win,
and they knew they weren't going to win, and she
understood the game that was being played. Then a few

(47:15):
years later, they had Beta or Rourke, right, the irishman
whose dad wanted to appropriate a Mexican identity so that
they could try to trick voters into thinking that his
super white, green eyed son who was a slacker and
apparently got in trouble for DUI and all this other
stuff that he was, you know, he was someone who
was Hispanic in background, which he wasn't, and they ran

(47:36):
Beta or Rourke. He kind of have to be a
willing stooge in of respect. They ran Beta or Rourke
for the same purpose that they ran Wendy Davis. He
was supposed to see the ground, register voters and raise money,
and they were specifically targeting the district in which we live.
It is we live in the last large urban red

(47:59):
county in the entirety of the United States, and so
it has been a target for the left for quite
some time. I mean, it's a reason why we spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars in school board fights. Here
everything is a fight. Everything is a fight here, down
to like the most minuscule race that actually wouldn't even
cost anything in any other part of the United States

(48:21):
to file or run or defend or whatever. But here
it's like a big ordeal. So they ran Beta or
Rourke to continue seating the ground and to be repetitive.
And it's like all a SI up to get people
familiar and to get them acquainted with the idea of
possibly having someone in that shared space. It's all a
psychological op, that's all. That's exactly what it is. Problem

(48:45):
with Beta, though, is he like actually took it seriously,
like he didn't fully understand the game. He thought, oh wow,
I guess I really can win, not realizing that he
was just a tool to get to the point of
running a better candidate for them in that in that space.
And so they ran in once and then he did
it again, and then he kept trying to run races
that he had no and then he ended up, you know,

(49:06):
kind of shooting himself in his own foot because he
was just He's not an appealing candidate in that way.
So this is like, I use this and I apply
this to Mandany in New York. Yes, it's just New York. However, nationally,
one of the reasons why I think some Democrats are
attacking him is because they want the appearance of their

(49:28):
being disparate ideologies on the left, when really they're all
kind of on the same page. But they want this
guy in the minds of everyone. They want him in
the minds of everyone talking about BDS, they want him
in everybody's minds talking about quote unquote Palestine. They want
him in everybody's minds talking about seizing the means of production.
So that again, much like the way that they did

(49:50):
with Winny Davis and Bada or Wark, they want people
used to this guy and this kind of ideology, not
even him necessarily, but this ideology in that space, so
that it becomes less and less shocking when they hear it.
It's like the frog and the pot of boiling water,
So you get more and more used to it to
then at some point it becomes, oh, well, maybe it's
something for some voters to consider that's the endgame here.

(50:13):
We have a lot more on the way as we
move towards headlines, and the folks who will bring you
the program, it's the folks over at Relief Factor. If
you are dealing with aches and pains every day, you're
not alone. A lot of people, though, have found the
help that they need with relief Factor, which is a
daily drug free supplement designed to help manage aches and
pains naturally. My husband who has some old hockey injuries

(50:36):
and football injuries and had knee surgery and that he
always has issues with his knees and inflammation and he
takes a relief Factor and it's super helpful. He's dealing
with a lot of the you know, all of those
problems without having that medica out having to be like
on prescription medication things like that. And relief Factor combines
powerful ingredients like turmeric, omega, three fatty acids, resveratrol, all

(50:59):
kinds of stuff to marget inflammation and support joint health.
It's one hundred percent drug fee drug free, and it's
developed to support your body's natural healing process so you
don't have to stay stuck living with pain is the
whole point. You can try Relief Factors three week quick
start for just nineteen ninety five, less than a dollar
a day, and you can support a veteran and a
company and see the difference for yourself. That's Reliefactor dot

(51:19):
Com one eight hundred and four Relief one eight hundred
and number four Relief.

Speaker 7 (51:23):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quickfive.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
This is like the most unFrench thing I've ever heard of.
They're banning smoking in schools and parks and beaches. They
want to protect kids, so they're banning smoking because it
is still very much a smoking culture and so interesting,
but they said that they have to do it to
protect the younger generations. It's going to be everywhere, Saint Tropez,
all over France. They want to ban it everywhere, and

(51:49):
that's what they're looking to do. And they said they
would have fines, punishable punishable buy fines up to one
hundred and fifty three dollars essentially one hundred and thirty
five euros. Despite the French Ministry of Housing that they
would have an education period, they said no, it's already.
It's from July first, so it's already in effect for
first few days. Very interesting, so that's changing. Let's see,

(52:11):
Delta is warning of continued disruption after the Atlanta Airport.
At the Atlanta Airport, after severe storms caused canceled flights
and the evacuation of an air traffic control tower, they
were dealing with some pretty hardcore storms. Severe weather battled
their international airport of the weekend. They had hundreds of cancelations,
the evac of a traffic controlled tower. Everything was still

(52:33):
disrupted Saturday. They said that they were still experiencing some disruptions,
you know, obviously canceled flights, delays, all kinds of stuff.
Then they had to have additionally one hundred Delta aircraft
that was required by federal law to be inspected after
hail because they said, and they're still dealing with cancelations
as a result of that. So sometimes you know, whether
it's not what they could control. Tesla's newly launched robo

(52:56):
taxi service experiences driving issues in traffic pros. According to
new reports, the videos that are out there show the vehicles,
these self driving vehicles breaking, suddenly, entering wrong lanes, driving
over curbs, things like that. They said that one video
showed a robotaxi that drove like headfirst and do oncoming
traffic for six seconds and it's kind of scary. And

(53:17):
another one they break suddenly for no reason and the
passenger jerk forward and all their stuff fell into the floor. Yeah,
it's still I would not want to be the guinea
pig for autonomous rides. I just don't want to be
the guinea pig for things like that. Like what just no,
I wouldn't like as a passenger, Like it's one thing
if you have I think if you're shipping or like
a courier service, maybe, but I don't know. Mega millions

(53:40):
a ticket holder wins the record breaking three hundred and
forty eight million dollar jackpot in Virginia. This stuff never
happens to us, Steve, it never happens to us three
hundred and forty eight million dollars, and they said the
life changing ticket was the largest in their history and
sold at a convenience store eighty five miles northeast of Richmond.
I wonder what. I hope that person and immediately smart

(54:01):
about it and hire someone to help manage their windfall
and invest and does all that stuff smuckers. They're removing
all the artificial colors from their jams and all other products.
This is all a part of making America healthy again.
They said they are going to remove all the synthetic
dies from foods sold to K through twelve schools by
the next school year. They said that the majority of

(54:22):
their products were already free of synthetic dies, but some
still have them in them, including the sugar free jams
and the ice cream topping lines. So they're doing a
lot of those changes on that end coming out. Congressman

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Welcome back to the program. You can listen coast to
coast on a station near you. Also stream the radio
program Channel three to forty seven Direct TV the chats
at Rumble. I was sitting here thinking, why in the
world do we have this? Maybe I'm in the dark
on something this self imposed July fourth deadline with the
bill that was in the Senate, Like I was, for
the life of me trying to understand why in the
world was it Why was everyone trying to get it

(56:09):
done by July fourth? Is it because it's so heinously
bad that they needed the cover of Independence Day in
order to pass it. Ironically, this is my first thought
on that, because there is a big problem still with
this bill. I don't think it was actually made better
by going through the Senate. We were promised that it
was going to be made better and we were going
to see, like there's gonna be more in savings, you're

(56:29):
gonna have a suppressors, You're not gonna you're gonna have
all of that remedied. Well, actually the suppressor issue, all
they did was remove the fee for it, but it
still they removed the tax on it, but it's still
under NFA. So that's completely asinine to even have that
structure and call it a win. And that was after
the Senate parliamentarian was saying, well, technically it's not germane

(56:51):
to the budget, so we can't use it in this process.
It's a tax. It's absolutely that's the entire struction of
it to protect it from as a gun control regulation.
So some of the biggest critics of this bill are
people I like, which is why I don't feel like
I'm wrapping myself intenfoil because I don't like this bill,
either Congressmanship Roy or the Great State of Texas, Texas's

(57:15):
twenty first congressional district. He joins me on what he's
probably a beautiful front porch. He's getting ready to enjoy
this nice afternoon, Congressman. Always good to see you, am,
I is that right? Because I don't understand why they
had this like independent stay deadline to get this thing
to the Senate. I mean, what was the point of that?

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Well, I wish I was enjoying it on a fortune Texas.
I'm in d C.

Speaker 14 (57:36):
And I've got my son with me, though, and I'm
picking them up at an event, so I got to
go get him in a second. But look, and then
I'm in a head to the hill and go see
what the Senate does, because I think the Rules Committee's
meeting tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (57:45):
But You're exactly right.

Speaker 14 (57:47):
This is an arbitrary deadline that has been set in
place for political pressure. I understand why. I think the
President wants to move this along, and so he said
to states that he wants to achieve those results. In
my we still need to get the bill right, and
right now, I don't think the bill is right. I
didn't come to Washington to make deficits worse. And as

(58:08):
much as I want the tax cuts to be extended,
and I do as much as that is important for
the average hardworking family, it is as much as I
think that we've made some improvements on Medicaid, that we've
done some good on the Inflation Reduction Act subsidies, we're
still far away from where we need to be. My
read of the bill as I understand it currently coming

(58:28):
out of the Senate is that it will miss the
mark on the House framework by about six hundred and
fifty billion dollars ten year plus interest, and if you
add the interest in, especially at higher rates, it means
we will add well over a trillion dollars to the deficit.
I didn't come to Washington to do that data. I
also thought we should have gotten better results on the
gun issues that you've talked about, the silencers, obviously, the

(58:51):
short barrel issue.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
But bottom line is we've got.

Speaker 14 (58:55):
To get this right with the American people and the
kids right now can't afford a house right our kids,
they're staring at mortgages, the average age of the home
buyers going up because the world is looking at our
debt and saying, we're not going to invest in American
bonds like we used to because we're thirty seven.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Training to debt.

Speaker 14 (59:12):
We're being irresponsible. So we've got to keep holding the
line in Washington. And that's that's why these votes are important.
Rick Scott's doing a good job trying to make some
changes in the Senate, so is Mike Lee, so is
Ron Johnson, and hopefully we can hold the line. But
I'm not ready to vote for this bill as it
currently is.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
Yeah, and that's because it all has to come back
to you all as well. You mentioned that's it misses
the House framework. And what I don't understand about that
is is they for the tax cuts the way that
I read it in the in the bill as it
was going through the House, they were all temporary anyway,
with everything stuck to expire in twenty eights, and they

(59:48):
still could not get the costs down through the CBO,
which I know is like AI, you know, you prompt it,
and it spits back exactly what you prompt it with.
So you know, I get it that there's kind of
a gamesmanship there. But at the same time, they still
couldn't even get it under and that's even by making
those tax cuts temporary.

Speaker 14 (01:00:05):
So that's an interesting thing that we could nerd out on.
And I'm not sure how much your audience wants is
to dive into it, but let me just say it's
simple terms. I asked the people that I trust, people
who used to work for President Trump in his world
of economics, right to go run through the numbers for
me and tell me what is the actual result here
if you assume all tax cuts are eventually going to

(01:00:28):
be permanent and extend in perpetuity. For example, in the House,
we only have the no tax on tips provision for
four years. We only have the reductions and taxes on
Social Security for four years. There are other provisions that
we only extended for four years. And by the way,
the gimmick they just employed in the Senate was they

(01:00:49):
just struck a deal on the salt right, the state
and local tax deal, so they could give a benefit
to the New Yorkers to protect those high tax jurisdictions.
Instead of it being ten years, they're doing it for.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Five Alaska and Alaska as well with Murkowski.

Speaker 14 (01:01:03):
And they do all of this to make it cheaper, right,
because it scores in a shorter window. But just for
the lay person out there, that's fake, right, because what
happens is if you look at the total cost of
this do you think in five years we're going to
be able to say no to extending those tax cuts.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
Of course not.

Speaker 14 (01:01:20):
So you've got to score the whole thing to the
perpetuity of the entirety of the ten years. And so
I look at this and I say, overall, this thing
is going to increase deficits by probably a couple of
trillion dollars. That's not good enough. We need to constrain
the spending further. We can do it on the f
map and the money laundering schemes in medicaid.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
We can do it.

Speaker 14 (01:01:41):
For example, the Senate took out we had a tax
on remittances for people who are here illegally sending money
home to their home countries. That's twenty five billion dollars.
We could do it by making sure that we have
all of the inflation Reduction Act subsidies repealed. There's still
four or five hundred billion dollars on the table. So
we could get our job done, do it the right way.
We could extend taxes and then we'd have an actual, big,

(01:02:04):
beautiful bill. But we don't yet. And that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
That is the problem. And I think that you know
a lot of people, they just want the immediate satisfaction
of getting something and saying, oh, well, we got these
cuts in. But do you though again it all sunsets
and then you're raising the debt ceiling by what I mean,
five trillion. This is crazy. This is money that I
can't even comprehend.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Yeah, Dan, And this is the thing.

Speaker 14 (01:02:25):
I mean, I've been having some intense fellowship, as the
Speaker Johnson likes to call it, with the White House,
and I get it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
They want this done. The President wants it done.

Speaker 14 (01:02:35):
He wants the tax bill, he wants the debt ceilings
so he'd get busy doing his thing, and he wants
to be able to get the border money.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
Tom Holman, does you know what I do too? So
do you.

Speaker 14 (01:02:43):
But what I didn't do is come to Washington to
continue to rack up the credit card that is driving
up interest rates, driving up the cost of housing, driving
up inflation, and making it toward the American economy is
not something the rest of the world looks at as
something that is strong and healthy. The President has a
great agenda, then we'll get things moving again. I want

(01:03:04):
to accelerate that. I want the border money. I want
to vote yes. But I can't vote yes just because
they say I have to. I can't vote yes just
because everybody says we got to get it done by
July fourth. I have a responsibility to look at this
subjectively and say, guys, are you doing the right math?
And I'll just tell you right now, I don't think
the math is correct yet. So rather than forcing it

(01:03:26):
through this week, we should have the conversations we need
to with the Senate, see what they do, review the bill,
find where we can find savings, find where we can
adjust what we're doing on tax policy, and make the
math actually add up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
We're talking with Congressmanship.

Speaker 15 (01:03:39):
Roy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
You went after I thought, justifiably the Senate parliamentarian and
then also the majority in the Senate, who could do
something about the parliamentarian for the people who don't know
whether in a lot of people They're like, well, maybe
this doesn't affect me suppresed rate, but it still does.
You're talking about a structural a framework that's designed to
enforce some kind of unconstitutionality on people with this oppressors

(01:04:00):
and under NFA, SBR short peril rifles all that. So
I guess they're trying to advertise it as a win
because they were able to get away with the with
the fee that you pay the tax stampits literally called
that to the government, so that you pay them to
exercise your constitutionally affirmed right. And that's considered a win
even though it's still under NFA, because the parliamentarian was
trying to argue that it wasn't germane to the I mean,

(01:04:22):
it's a tax, so why can't the majority congressman tell
the parliamentarian to step off, you know and long walk
off a short peer.

Speaker 14 (01:04:29):
Well, see, the point that I was trying to make
is that we have the majority in the Senate.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
The reality is there's a block.

Speaker 14 (01:04:35):
In the Senate who don't want to achieve all the
things that you and I want to achieve. They don't
want to take the hard positions. They would love to
hide behind the parliamentarian to not do the things that
we all want them to do.

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
That's what's really going on.

Speaker 14 (01:04:52):
Look, Promontarian may be making some bad rulings, but then
the Senate just needs to act. You can overrule, you
can make better arguments, you can restructure the bill, you
can draft it in such way as to make it work.
But the bottom line is you can't just keep punting
and then going, oh, well, it's the Problemontarian's fault. When
you've got members of the Senate who are making policy choices.

(01:05:13):
Right now as we speak, Susan Collins, Lisa mccows keep
Tom tell Us, several others in the Senate are trying
to offer amendments to strip away the improvements that we've
gotten on the Inflation Reduction Act of the subsidies. They're
trying to strip away the improvements we've gotten on Medicaid.
Because every Republican will always campaign on balancing the budget.

(01:05:34):
Every Republican will look you in the eye data and say, O,
don't shut the government down. Don't worry about the discretionary
spending that's peanuts. We've got to go take care of
the long term spending, the mandatory spending, titlements. Well, we've
got Medicaid on the table, and Republicans are running through
the hills because they're going back and listening to hospitals,
are saying.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
We can't do it without all that federal borrowed money.
Yes you can.

Speaker 14 (01:05:56):
We've got to restructure it so that only the vulnerable
are getting care. For the able bodied aren't. You're no
longer enriching the CEOs of these FatCat hospital corporations, you're
no longer throwing money insurance companies, and you're actually making
the states have a skin in the game. That's what
Republicans are trying to do with work requirements or reforms.
We should go farther, and instead the Senate wants to retreat.

(01:06:18):
I know that's a lot, but the short version, if
you're listening out there and you're taking your kids to
summer camps or a school, that's what I'm doing.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
I'm balancing all that as a dad.

Speaker 14 (01:06:26):
And I'll just tell you this, if you don't know
what to do with all this stuff, is pretty simple.
This bill, in my opinion, will raise the deficits in
order to get some tax cuts that we want, some
tax cuts that we don't necessarily need. Some reforms that
are good, but some reforms that we're leaving on the table.
That's the bill. You say, Well, is that a compromise

(01:06:46):
In my opinion right now, it's not a compromise worth
taking because the deficits are too high and we can't
afford that anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
That's a great point. I think that's a great explainer
of those. Last quick question for you, Congressman, as we
roll into Independence Day week, and how weird is it
that we're dealing with the spill in his Independence Day?
I mean the optics. I feel like, you know, some
of the people at GOP get it so wrong every
time it's good. Where does this end? Because there's going
to be so much pressure brought to bear on Republicans
to support this. In a Topotus's desk, everyone's going to

(01:07:14):
be called like a squish if they don't support what,
like back in the Tea Party days, we would say
is like, you know, too big, the failed type stuff.
So where does that leave us?

Speaker 14 (01:07:23):
Well, first of all, it is the two hundred and
forty ninth birthday of the country, and we're immeasurably blessed
to be Americans, and I'm proud of it supposed to
be in Texas this week. I wish it were, but
we also have a job to do. And if I
need to be here every day until we get this
sorted out, I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Yeah, because they're making you read through the whole thing,
and they've never done that before. They've never I mean,
you've already read it. This is the first time they've
ever wanted to read through a bill.

Speaker 14 (01:07:45):
We well, here's the thing. We know what we need
to do. We just got to have the backbone to
do it. But what we can't do is just jam
it through for an artificial optic. And with all due
respect to the White House, and with all due respect
to my Republican friends and leadership, let's get this right.
I think we've set a structure that can create a
path of success the American people. Conservatives Republicans want us

(01:08:10):
to produce the debt, reduce deficits. They want their tax cuts.
They wanted to be reasonable, they want to make sure
that we get good policies. They want fairness, they want
the able bodied to have to work. These are all
the things we're trying to do. Let's secure the border,
let's do the common sense stuff. There's a lot that's
good in the bill, but there's a lot that's bad.

(01:08:30):
Too many games, too much pork, too much spending, too
many gimmicks. We need to get rid of those things.
Do our job, eat some of the hard votes, right,
go back to your hospitals, and say we're gonna have
to figure this out. But there ain't no free lunch,
and too many Republicans want to pretend there is. And
I'm not going to go along to get along on this.
And I didn't come here to, you know, hold on
to my election certificate for the sake of it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
I came on here to win. So if that's what
I tend to try to do, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
Congressman ship Roy God bless and my friend, have a
wonderful Independence Day. I hope you get back to the
freedom of Texas to celebrate some of it and safe travels.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
We'll do it. Go bless you and Chris never take
take care.

Speaker 7 (01:09:08):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
It's time for Florida man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
So this is interesting. Miami New Times has a story
about former Congressman Matt Gays. According to the New Times quote,
they said that a TikTok user recorded him scrolling through
his text messages and saw his laptop screen on a plane.
They were on a plane. The Miami New Times reports
quote showing his contract with a firm associated with True

(01:09:37):
Leave to provide administration related guidance. In response to a
comment on the video, the user posted the photo with
the caption quote gigantic font no privacy screen on his
phone nor on his laptop end quote. The file says
the Miami New Times on his laptop, titled puyg of
Council Agreement LP. This is per The New Time states

(01:09:58):
that the former Florida representative will provide legal representation, consulting
and administrated related guidance. And it discusses quote non refundable
payments on the commencement of representation and that he's going
to get apparently six figures and it doesn't. It says
he appears to be entitled to additional super success fee.
So very interesting, very very interesting. That whole story that's

(01:10:22):
on the Miami New Times. A Florida man was headbutted
by a shark while surfing's I've never heard of that.
That's a new smurta beach, Florida. They are the shark
by capital of the World. So they but even this
kind of goes above that surfer Darren k he was
surfing near Pont's Inlet and he was literally struck in

(01:10:43):
the face by a leaping shark in a bizarre collision.
And the crazy thing is that it was captured on video.
It shows the shark breaching the water as he's writing
what's known as a fish surfboard, which is already also
kind of funny. He goes, it's kind of ironic, right,
he goes, you're writing a fish and the shark tries
to get your fish, and he, you know, kind of
brushed it off, but yeah, it jumped up and literally

(01:11:05):
like leapt out of the water and hit him right
in the head. So he's fine, I mean, and they
think the shark's fine. I mean, it's just, you know,
kind of a weird, kind of a weird thing to
have happened. But I would imagine that that does happen.
At least he wasn't bitten, so that's, you know, there's
there's a good thing. Let's see a Florida man who
allegedly forged his deceased mother's checks and expressed a dislike

(01:11:28):
for his aunt This family sounds all manner of messed up.
I think we may have had this last week, But
it's a long crime story. This guy stole thousands of
dollars from his late mother's estate, and according to the
sheriff's office, this has been going on for like over
a year apparently, And I guess it's sad. I mean,
the way that this happened. I guess some of his
family members found out. Also tomorrow, I'll save this one.

(01:11:49):
A con A guy convicted of free nineteen sharks was
pardoned by potus. We'll get into that tomorrow. Stick with us.
Third hour on the way, he's.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
The Democratic Party, a left of center party.

Speaker 16 (01:12:00):
I think you've just hit the I think this is
the identity crisis that they have. I think it's just
a collection of people that don't like Trump right now right,
and that served them well in twenty But imagine trying
to create a big tent that had AOC and John
Kasik in it, right, you know? Or how about or

(01:12:20):
Liz Cheney and AOC. You're sort of going to rip
a hole in the middle right as you're trying to
stretch that tent.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this, but he is
actually not wrong with that assessment. I mean, it's just
the Democrat Party is a bunch of Marxist and people
who don't like Trump. That's it. I mean they can't
and they can't even articulate why they don't like him.
They just don't like him. Welcome back to the program,
Dana lash with you at top of this third hour.
Would you believe that in a new survey, apparently secretary

(01:12:52):
mayor former secretary of former mayor, new mom whatever, poop
biddy juice would be a contender. I'm trying to wrap
my mind around this. He would be a contender for
a presidential ticket on the Democrat side. He's narrowly leading
Harris according to this hypothetical Democratic presidential primary. It's sixteen

(01:13:18):
to thirteen percent. What gets me is that he's ahead
of Gavin Newsom in the survey. How is it even possible?
How in the world is that even possible? Doesn't make
any sense. He would be ahead of Josh Shapiro out
of Pennsylvania, Gavin Newsom. I mean, I'm not even going

(01:13:38):
to get into some of the other maybe more palatable
to Democrats nominees or different governors, people like any Basher,
et cetera. Twenty three percent of Democrat primary voter said
that they were undecided in this new survey. It's an
Emerson College survey, and I'm shocked at this. Buddha Judge

(01:14:01):
leads the Democrats at sixteen percent out just sixteen percent.
I told you, guys, he wanted to run for higher office, right.
The question for the poll was this, looking ahead to
twenty twenty Democratic presidential race, amongst the following candidates, who
would you support for the Democratic nomination? And they give
you buddhaj Jedge, Harris Newsom, aoc, Jos Shapiro, Bernie Sanders,

(01:14:26):
Cory book aggression with Wimerindybasher, Pritzker, Wes Moore, Amy Klobuchar,
Rahm Emmanuel, someone else and undecided. Undecided is twenty three percent,
So undecided as number one, followed by Bota Jedge. How
in the world is it even possible? I don't even
know how this, How in the world is this even remotely?

(01:14:46):
How is he a leader? He was a really bad
Secretary of Transportation or really bad one. You guys remember
how he left like he took a quote unquote maternity
leave after he bought his babies. They I can't remember
how long many months he was out. The big scandal
was that during a supply chain disruption, because remember this

(01:15:09):
was all you know, everybody's kind of coming out of lockdown.
So during a supply chain disruption, they could not get
a hold of him. And then he had all these
issues at the ports and people protesting, and then the
ports were shutting down. We're close with COVID stuff. And
then you had pro the long shom and strike all this.
He was mia because he was on quote unquote maternity
leave and no one could get in touch with him.
That was a huge It wasn't Time magazine. It was

(01:15:31):
a huge scandal. I know the conservative institution that is
Time magazine. I don't even know why they keep pulling
for Harris. Why do they keep bringing her name up.
I mean, there is no leader of this party right now.
Newsom's trying very, very hard, but he still has not
He still has not made it to the top of
the mountain there. But I look at this and this

(01:15:53):
is a weak field, even amongst the left. They will
kneecap themselves in order to satisfy these inconsequential identity political
markers like out of these, I mean, I'm just kind
of shocked that Josh Shapiro, who is a leftist and

(01:16:13):
I would never support him for any elected office, but
with Democrats, he at least is more palatable to I mean,
you would think to you know, a Buddha Judge or
a Harris, like even Andy Basheer. He doesn't even come
in in like the top five for this, which is wild,
but he's I think he came in where did he
come in at? Oh my gosh, she was only two percent.

(01:16:35):
He was tied with Pritzker and Moore. And again Basher
is another person that would never vote for him. But
if you're a Democrat and you're trying to be competitive,
and you know that Republicans have a strong bench, and
you would be thinking at this point, well, how can
we manage a race against a strong bench? They kind

(01:16:59):
of did a Hail Mary pass last time by switching
out Biden with Harris, and they did not. I'm sure
that a Shapiro and a Basher did not want to
jump on the land mine that was going to be
an unwinnable race because you can't change you know, this
is not a CDC, right, This is not like you know,
they found a Brian Johnson. Okay, this is not van

(01:17:20):
Halen where they brought in Seemy Hagar to in place
of David Lee Roth. I mean, it's Kamala Harris coming
in for Biden, for Joe Biden. They when you switch
something out like that that late in the game, that
is such a signal of no confidence. That's just an
unofficial vote of no confidence to everybody else, And so
nobody has any kind of nobody has confidence or the

(01:17:41):
expectation of success by getting behind such a ticket. So
now I mean I'm looking at I'm looking at this
and I was looking at the crosstabs of it. This
is their bench. What a week bench. This is a
crazy week bench.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
This uh.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
I mean that's all they have. That's it. That is
all they have. They don't have anything else I was
looking for. When they look at the people surveyed, the
it's pretty even in terms of Democrats are Republicans surveyed,
And it's a pretty sizable amount. So I thought, you know,
looking at the data that this was, you know, it
was kind of a legitimate. That was a pretty legitimate survey.

(01:18:23):
That's why I'm still my Jaws on the floor with
Buddha judge. This is the weakest bench I've ever seen
that they would downplay. Again, if you're on the left
and you want to be competitive and you're looking for
palatable candidates, you would look at an Andy Basher, you
would look at a Josh Shapiro, those maybe even a
Wes Moore. But those are the people that you would
look at because they're way more palatable than the other
insanities that are suggested, like Amy Klobuchar. Really, Rama Manuel

(01:18:47):
has been trying to remake himself as a moderate. I
don't know if you've noticed this, but in the past
several months he's been working very, very hard at doing that.
Newsome is just up there because he has name recognition.
He knows how to pick petty fights and keep his
name in the press. He knows how to do this.
He gets headlines by not having to do anything, by
having other people come on his podcast and then they'll
they'll say something, they cut that out and send it out.

(01:19:07):
He doesn't even have to do anything except have somebody
else just you know, go on his podcast and talk.
It's a great way for him to keep his name
up there without having to do anything political or expend
any kind of political capital. So this was I mean,
it was actually like a very I thought, a very

(01:19:28):
even poll. And with this this is audio some by seven.
This is just again Gavin Newso, I just don't think
this is this is appealing to average middle of the
road Democrat voters that are searching for some kind of
normalcy within the party that they can behind, I get behind.

(01:19:51):
I think if you had a moderate candidate, they would
flock to them. And I don't think that Gavin Newsom, Well,
this is just an example of what they have. This
is Gavin Newsom talking to Terry Moran. So you have
two people grinding access against each other. Listen, Okay, So.

Speaker 15 (01:20:05):
When you say those words, Terry about Stephen Miller, you
were damn right. Excuse my language. You were right and
he is wrong, and it's wrong for us to operate
under the old rules. Forgive me for being intense about
this now, but a lot of people are counting us
to do more and be better.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):
I respect that intensity. That's where we have to find
our courage, right, we have to find it there. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Remember he was the one who wrote about Steven Miller
at the time that he was a world class hater
and then he did this rant and then ABC ultimately
ended up suspending him. So Newsom's like, you were blank
right to post that, you were absolutely right, just the
political acumen. I feel like his producers need to do
a little bit better of a job if they think,

(01:20:49):
if you know, with Terry Moran, because this really the
only headline that the only purpose that this is serving.
It's not getting Newsom a headline, but it's making it
look like he's kind of behind the ball a little
bit because Terry Moraine was old news. He's old news
and he got fired by ABC and nobody's standing behind
him except apparently for Gavin Newsom. Just asinine, asinine stuff.

(01:21:11):
So the fact that again when you look at that lineup,
that week bench, that week bench, that's as something else,
did you guys hear? This is from Daily Mail, not
a publication that I like, but I thought this headline
was interesting. Nonetheless, So apparently now in Britain there was

(01:21:33):
a ruling apparently calling a middle aged white woman a
Karen is a borderline racist, sexist and ageist slur, says
an employment tribunal in Britain. They the term somebody who
is excessively like demanding or wants to talk to the manager.
The judge goes, well, it's a pejorative and it's true.

(01:21:55):
Seventy four year old Sylvia Constance, she is a charity worker.
The ruling came in, it's a case of a black
charity worker who accused her bosses of targeting her because
of her race and age. She said that they acted.
She said that female managers in a complaint written on
her behalf female female managers were said to have acted
like a stereo the stereotypical Karen, having weaponized their privilege

(01:22:17):
and more uh and more powerful positions against her. And
the employment judge said, we note that the use of
the slang term Karen is a pejorative and borderline racist, sexist,
and agist term. And of course all this really started
getting gaining popularity under coronavirus during the lockdowns. So the hearing.

(01:22:37):
So this woman she said that she had she was
she was suspended overclaims that she was bullying residents and staff.
That the lady who you know, this case ultimately this
charity worker who accused her bosses of targeting her because
of race and age. Then you see in the complaint,
like they were saying that she was accusing of everyone

(01:23:00):
else of being Karen's I've never seen kind of like
a turnaround slap like this before. It's very interesting. So
they said that that. I do think it is used
that way. I think sometimes you can use it jokingly,
but it's slang for just saying that someone is overly
aggressively needy in terms of having a complaint satiated for

(01:23:21):
the lack of a better way to put it. But
I have seen I mean, it's interesting now that they're
trying that. That's been called racist, sexist, and ages slur.

Speaker 7 (01:23:30):
And now all of the news you would probably miss
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
Microsoft is retiring the infamous blue screen of death where
it goes, oh, it's recovery. It looks like Windows and
load correctly. It's a torment of many a Windows user
over the past decades. It's now being retired. They're ditching it.
It appeared, I mean for they're ditching this feature. They
they want to streamline the unexpected restart experience, so they

(01:23:59):
wanted black colored screen. So that's it's a simplified screen
that will appear during quote unquote unexpected restarts, and they're
going to roll it out this summer on all devices
and they say that it'll reduce reboots to about two
seconds for most users. They by the way, they've used
that blue screen that's been a thing since the nineties,
the early nineties, that is how long that they've had

(01:24:19):
that screen, so they haven't updated it that whole time.
F one zooms to fifty five point six million dollar
opening at the box office one hundred and forty four
million globally, and then of course they had that Megan
the robot Megan that bomb. It only had ten million
dollars from opening weekend. That's a bad start here in
the US. But F one, though, is raking it in.

(01:24:40):
They've they've been doing a lot of heavy promotion of
it though as well. And of course it doesn't hurt
when it's about Formula one, you know, and then you
get to go to all the F one stuff. But
they were Formula one movie teamed with the filmmaker behind
Top Gun, Maverick as well. So it is the first
major theatrical win for Apple Original Films. So this is

(01:25:03):
they worked with Warner Brothers to do this, and they
were sharing the marketing duties over it. So overseas it
clocked in eighty eight point four million. So I think
this kind of stuff is really important because it's a
measure as to where people's interests are and their minds are. Especially,
people want to have fun and they want to be
able to root for stuff. That's what a lot of
this is indicative of. So very interesting, and it's actually

(01:25:26):
a legitimately original thing, so you know, it wasn't a
rehash of something. Paul Simon canceled PE's touring still he's
in his eighties. I really don't care about this highline.
But he's canceling concerts due to intense backpain. Wow. Wow, Okay.
Beyonce sat in a car suspended in the air during
her Cowboy Carter tour in Houston. ABC thirteen said that
there was a problem, a technical mishap, and so she

(01:25:49):
just kind of you know, they had to halt their show.
Her car tilted over and then stopped as she was
floating above the crowd, and you could hear her say stop, stop, stop,
and they had to have personnel and security rushover. I mean,
how do you get something like this wrong? I didn't
even know, Like how do you make it to where
this stuff? I mean and tilted over, so she had to.

(01:26:10):
I mean, they could have dumped her out, she could
have fallen. I don't know if she was like hooked
on with a hardness or anything after. But that's you know,
goodness always Sonny. In Philadelphia, Rob mclenny has filed to
legally change his name. He said that his name has
always hindered him in business negotiations and that in other

(01:26:30):
regions of the world they can't pronounce his original name,
and it's his company. He was his production company was
behind Welcome to Wrexham. So he's forty years old. He
says he's going to change his name. I don't even
know why you would change her name is late in
the game. So he's going to go by Rob mack
instead of just Rob mcleenny. It's gonna be Rob mack.
Why can't you just do that as a nickname, because

(01:26:52):
Rob mack now kind of sounds dochey. Really, Rob mcleenny's fine,
It's like so easy to pronounce that name. Mc lennie.
It's not hard. We have a lot more coming up
as we roll towards the bottom of this hour. Stevin
Yates joins us.

Speaker 8 (01:27:06):
Stick with us on the go and need a quick
news fix with a fun twist. Follow Dana's Absurd Truth
podcast for bite size, informative episodes, perfect for your busy
schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
Well, we may once again have another deal or a deal.
I thought we did have a deal, but now it
looks like we have a deal deal maybe with China.
We're coming in from the Associated Press, the US and
China have reached an agreement to de escalate trade tensions,
but not a lot is known about this. One thing
that we talked about last week is why is it

(01:27:39):
that you're still allowing so many students to come in
on these visas? And why do we still allow farmland
to be purchased by CCP, so on and so forth.
I don't know if any of that is a part
of this new announcement. Joining us for insight on this
as always. And he's so incredibly good, our very good friend,
Steven Yates. You can find him at Yates Comms on
X and he's a senior research fell with the Heritage Foundation,

(01:28:01):
particularly with China a national security policy and he served
in not one but two previous presidential administrations on this issue. Stephen,
always so good to see you. A happy Independence Day.
I know we're a couple of days, a few days away,
but still the sentiment extends, especially now we may so
this is not like it's the same deal, right, but
it's being presented as though we finally have a deal,

(01:28:23):
but we know nothing right, there's at least not it's
been made public.

Speaker 17 (01:28:29):
Yeah, I'm I'm a supporter of the President, and I
like the Treasury Secretary taking the lead on these things.
I'm not a super fan of every couple of weeks
saying you've got a new deal that's pretty much what
the last one was, which is pretty much we've agreed
to keep talking and we don't want you to be
blackmailing us with rare earths or magnets or some other

(01:28:50):
things that we haven't found a way to strategically a
couple from you yet with regard to and so that
seems to be where that is back and forth has been.
President been very clear he wants to de escalate tensions.
That's a good objective to have, but I think there's
still a long way to go to fill in these blanks,

(01:29:11):
and so we wait further word from the Treasury Secretary
or the President and the students visas. I think the
President sort of with a truth post kind of brushed
that to the side for now.

Speaker 10 (01:29:24):
But I am also not a super fan of hot large.

Speaker 17 (01:29:28):
Numbers of people we don't know going into kind of
questionable research areas.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
Exactly. I completely agree on that. And this too comes
on the I guess as I feel like we're in
the de numont portion of I know this Israel versus Iran.
Did it surprise you that China and Russia were so tough,
tough luck Iran by and just sort of you know
that clearly they weren't really allies.

Speaker 10 (01:29:56):
Yeah, it didn't surprise me that much. I was a
little so surprised how open they were about it.

Speaker 17 (01:30:02):
I mean, I thought that they would pull the old
Mattador Olay move, but they would try to keep it
on the down low. But to publicly say, you know,
this bricks thing, I'm not going to go. You know,
I got a cold. I don't know if it's seasonal,
you know, whatever, I'm not, I'm not going to go.
And then you want to close out this this straight
of hormouse. I got a lot of oil and natural gas.

(01:30:25):
You're not going to do that, right, And so.

Speaker 10 (01:30:27):
It just really quickly became clear that Iran was on
its own.

Speaker 17 (01:30:33):
To me, it was beautiful to see that this sort
of alternative to America and its allies is basically a
paper tiger for now, more of an annoyance, but at
the same time, they still have bad stuff. So until
until the proliferate proliferation risk is lower, until there's some

(01:30:54):
kind of a change in real government behavior out of
Iran and we see Putin maybe have aus c eease
fire with Ukraine, then we're still kind of in the.

Speaker 10 (01:31:04):
Thick of this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
Now you bring up a really good point, because we
heard a lot about we're going to close the straight
or her moves, and then all of a sudden that
went away and nobody talked about it anymore. And I
figured that there's no way that they would actually be
able to do that, But to see it just disappear
so quickly as it did from headlines was pretty stunning.
So clearly someone from all of these other nations, be
it Russia and China probably as well, said yeah, you're
not going to do this, It's not happening.

Speaker 17 (01:31:26):
Yeah, I think there was a golden fortune cookie that arrived.
When they cracked it open, it says Confucius says, this
is going to stay open.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Yeah, this isn't closed and it's not going I like that.
That's probably exactly how it was done as well. Oh,
we're talking with our good friends Steve and Yates at
Yates Comms. So basically the big question for everybody is
what now with Iran? Particularly like what now? Okay, we
seem to have at least kneecap them in terms of

(01:31:54):
nuclear well going towards nuclear capability, we seem to have
kneecap them, But how long does that last with the
current regime? And I feel like it places us in
a weird spot because I put all the blame on
Carter and Democrats for swapping out the Shah with this,
you know, super beyond marxist Ietola, you know, the Supreme
burrito over there in Iran switching that out. So it's

(01:32:17):
like I feel everyone talks about the pottery barn rule.
You break it, you buy it. I don't want to
buy it, but I feel like we broke it.

Speaker 17 (01:32:25):
Yeah, I am really allergic to the pottery barn analogy
Colon Powell, I think ruined that.

Speaker 10 (01:32:31):
For me, the Rock situation, I don't think it was
true then.

Speaker 17 (01:32:35):
I don't think it's true now where America will break
things and if you don't like it, tough beans don't
tick us off.

Speaker 10 (01:32:43):
And so if it's broken, then you put it back together.
It's not my region.

Speaker 17 (01:32:49):
And so with this, I think we have to be
serious about the idea that no matter who's in charge
of Iran, unless there's some truly profound change, they can
revive cell elements of their surrogate network those have been degraded.
We're in a far better position than we've been in

(01:33:10):
years thanks to some of whether it was the magical
pagers that went off by the Israelis or the pretty
incredible strikes they had into Iran has belong. I mean,
really a lot of good gardening has been done in
the broader Middle East, but there's still bad people. And

(01:33:30):
for the formal X account of the Ayatola is still
threatening to assassinate net Yahoo and Trump. So apparently he
has not felt the full weight of this thumping in
order to change his lingo to date.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
That's a really good point as well with that, because
didn'ty I read something where he's basically put in out
a fatwa on Podus, so to speak, which I just
I don't know how he I mean, we don't even
know if he's alive. I mean, really, we haven't seen
the guy. We just hear that he's being moved from
place to play, so he may not even be alive.
And they could just be doing you know, like a
Joe Biden presto changeo. We have no idea, but I mean,

(01:34:06):
that doesn't seem like it's the position of a strong man.

Speaker 10 (01:34:14):
No, it doesn't.

Speaker 17 (01:34:15):
And it's whoever's operating the social media account. And you know,
no matter what, they are living on borrowed time in
the sense that their air defenses were proven to be
very very and with the stealth bombs coming, I mean
it was stealth in every respect. We didn't leak and

(01:34:36):
they had no detection, but also neither did China and Russia,
so that Alliance didn't give them any early warning either,
and so all the way around, I think they're sort
of like that, the feeling of being naked and exposed
into the world.

Speaker 10 (01:34:51):
I had a paper over this.

Speaker 17 (01:34:53):
For now, I think we just have to watch out
whether they can restart some of these things because they've
been pushed back, but they're not out of the game.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
Yeah, last question for you're talking with our friends Steven
ate Syria. It looks like well it it was a
headline last week and it seemed to suggest that Syria
is open to joining the Abraham Accords, which would be
that's a that's a big change for this region. And
I can't help but think, you know, back when we
were all a little appalled that Potus was meeting with
he was a former Gihati, the new you know, regime

(01:35:24):
leader in Syria. And I'm not saying that he's a
good guy, but I'm saying, just for our own interests,
it may serve us better than you know, how it was,
uh because after you know, they closed airs, they had
closed airspace to all Iranian aircraft, they didn't have the
you know, Syrian air defense for help for support they
and then you had Potius going over there when he
was speaking to Middle East leaders and saying that he

(01:35:44):
was going to lift sanctions on Syria, which NBS stood
up and applauded because that meant a lot of you know,
Arab nations could now invest in there's business opportunities et cetera.
So this seems like it was very, very structured for
a long time in advance to box out Iran and
the regime at every possible angle. Do you is that
a realistic thing for Siria to come on board and

(01:36:06):
how has that? I mean, it remains to be seen
if it's a force for good in that region, but
it seemed to work in our favor so far.

Speaker 17 (01:36:18):
It has, and I think it is part of that
broader Abraham Accords logic, and it's also part of what
I guess we'll call the Trump doctrine of giving a
lot of space to your reliable allies and partners in
the region and if they and they have to sort
of be the first ones responsible for trying to balance
things out. And it was definitely to box in Iran

(01:36:41):
to undermine those sturrogates, and those Arab allies did not want.

Speaker 10 (01:36:46):
Iran's nuclear program to move forward either.

Speaker 17 (01:36:49):
So I think we have kind of a division of
labor really up to Saudi and other Arab allies to
make sure Syria doesn't become an.

Speaker 4 (01:37:01):
And it is.

Speaker 10 (01:37:03):
In terrorist outpost.

Speaker 17 (01:37:06):
But for now, all of this are pointing to a
different Middle East, and so I just take yes and
thank you for the moment and see where we get.

Speaker 6 (01:37:16):
I go.

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
Well, Happy Independence Day to you, my friend. I hope
you have safe travels with any future travel that you have.
And it's always so good to talk with you every week.
Thank you so much for your insight. We're so grateful
for it and for you. Go bless.

Speaker 18 (01:37:38):
Yeah, John. I talked with Joshua Aaron, who is the
longtime tech worker who developed this platform, and he said
he really wants it to be an early warning system
for people about the location of immigrations and customs enforcement officers.
So he says he does not want people interfering with
those officers' activity, but he does want people to be
able to avoid them altogether if they want. So you

(01:38:00):
open the app, it looks like a map and users
can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in
their area, and then everybody who uses the platform within
five miles of that siding will get a push alert.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
I mean they it's like ways for ice you know,
like the Ways app that you can like find like
traffic speed traps or traffic violation or traffic h snarls
and all this other stuff. It's like that, But for ICE,
it's very odd. That was on CNN and you know,

(01:38:33):
you keep hearing, well, why do they have to wear masks?
Why do ICE agents? Why do they have to wear masks?
Maybe because you have CNN actively promoting an app that's
identifying their actual you know, ICE agents in real time,
like particularly when there when you have ongoing investigations underway.

(01:38:55):
I mean, they have a five hundred percent increase according
to data h cpb O and assaults because of stuff
like this. So it's they and I mean it is
being promoted by CNN. I don't know how you can
say that that's not being promoted. They're I mean basically,
you're announcing to everyone in that area, Hey, this is

(01:39:15):
where they are, and you're helping people who are criminals
evade accountability in the United States. So either you believe
that everybody is, you know, the same under the law
where you don't, and if we're going to start helping
people evade the law, then you're going to have good
people that are not going to want to follow the
law because of the inconsistency in its application, and that's
how you start getting a breakdown of the republic, which

(01:39:37):
I think is exactly what the left wants. But I
will promise you when you have people, certain people who
choose to not follow the law that is going that's
going to be a terrifying element for all these people
promoting lawlessness because you're going to find out between the
difference between harmless and peaceful, and there's a major difference,
major major difference. I mean, this is insane and the

(01:39:58):
developer I mean just I mean it's the things called
ice block, that's what it's called, and to block lawful actions,
to bring people who are here illegally and committing further
crime to stop it. So I don't know, I mean
the I mean, this is crazy, this is And it

(01:40:18):
doesn't help that you have you know, law enforcement or
you know elected officials in states like California and mayors,
et cetera that are helping to promote this stuff. You're
helping people evade the law. Yet these people are the
loudest to scream about gun control et cetera. Speaking of
the law. I gotta say this this, this is actually
pretty neat. So after a lot of people who came

(01:40:41):
here illegally, they in southern California because of ice. There
are apparently a lot of food cart vendors that have left, well,
a lot of teenagers that were pushed out of the
market and that really like historically did this as a
summer job. Now they're coming back in to take the
spots of these food cart vendors. Audio Somebody twenty six,
This is actually pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (01:41:01):
This summer, me my Trim brothers decide that we're going
to open up our own bacond rap hot dog business
called Blaze Street. Instead of doing nothing at home, we
want to make some money and try to do something big.

Speaker 2 (01:41:11):
We invested four hundred dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:41:12):
That we sit from working weekends that our family gas
stations just started up. It's a pretty big investment for us,
but with some hard work and long nights, it will
all be worthy. The first that we're pretty nervous and
there's no customers for the first hour. Then things start
to pick up. First we saw one hot dog, then
two to five, ten, and at the end of the
day we end up selling over twenty hot dogs, which
is pretty good in mypon. If you want to show

(01:41:32):
us some support, we are located on Long Beach at
the American Oil Gas Station seven days a week from
five pm to nine pm. They following share a journey.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
And bacon wrap dogs. That's amazing, what a great I mean,
I love stories like that. I love that, and I
mean that actually looked pretty good, you know, and they're
probably I mean, you can you can create a pretty
awesome business from stuff like that. You find a need,
you feel a need. You got people who need to eat,
they're probably tired of the same stuff all around them.

(01:42:00):
You have a food cart opportunity. That's a great idea.
But apparently this is like growing in terms of occurrence.
So that's that's that's pretty cool, very very cool to
see stuff like that. I love that. It's the good
old American way, right. That actually did look really good.
And now I'm hungry, officially, I'm hungry, uh tomorrow. One
of the things that we'll dive into is apparently there well,

(01:42:21):
there's this ongoing investigation as to who is leaking that
nonsense about the strikes in Irano. It only it only
affected x amount or it Uh, you know, they really
you know, it really didn't hamper their ability to try
to become more nuclear capable. Well, now I there seem
people are wondering who is leaking this information? Because now

(01:42:42):
somebody is leaking that. You know that you have John Ratcliffe,
who's you know, CIA, and then Syncom Uh, they are
the US InCom Commander that they're kind of being sidelined
from security briefings and some of these other meetings. Who's
leaking this stuff? Where's the stuff coming from? One of
the bad things about the Trump administration the first time

(01:43:04):
was these leaks like this. You can't have this kind
of stuff happened, and we were hoping that this was
all kind of battened down and we weren't seeing it again.
I don't want to start seeing it now. We have
a lot more this rest of this week as we
get set up for Independence Day. Today's stupidity, Real quick, Steve,
what do we got?

Speaker 10 (01:43:18):
It's Keane is taking his sweet time, having his own
private time.

Speaker 3 (01:43:21):
So I'm hearing her for him.

Speaker 10 (01:43:23):
So I guess this'sn't just Dana Carvey, but this is
SNL as a whole. So we obviously saw Biden's decline
pretty easily everybody could notice that.

Speaker 17 (01:43:28):
But here's the excuse of how Dana Carney excuse me,
Dana Carvey had to cover Biden and his impresonation.

Speaker 19 (01:43:36):
I knew that he was compromise mentally. I mean it
was obvious, but it was a delicate thing. In the
comedy world. There were a lot of people did not
want to do anything that would kind of ding him
in like an awkward way.

Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Well, it's comedy, That's that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:53):
That's the key. If I can do.

Speaker 19 (01:43:57):
Maybe Biden funny to every buddy, then I am where
I want to be. And then to make it funny,
how to be recognizable and so there are certain things
I did not include, and there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
Of course there's certain things you did on include. See
that's like, that's cowardice.

Speaker 6 (01:44:11):
Though.
