Subject to change. And then, conveniently, all eight of those senators aren't up for re-election in 2026. This is the DC way. Senator Schumer could have blocked this if he had wanted to. And one of the challenges is, in addition to the health care premium spikes, it undermines the narrative that this was a Trump shutdown if eight Democratic senators could have ended it.

We should have kept the pressure on.

Well, that was what I was thinking of last night because. The whole discussion that we've had for I don't know, like however many weeks. They keep saying that, well, they kept saying that it was a Republican shutdown, but then.

Now their base is like, oh, you caved. You cave well wait whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa hold up hold up hold up.

Now, what do you mean they caved? Because we were told, reliably I might add, Kane. Reliably so, correct, sir? Reliably so. Reliably informed that.

It was a uh republican shutdown. And lo, Twas not. because it was Democrats That kept voting no.

So That's my whole point. I can't remember what show I was on yesterday, but the discussion was. part of the discussion was about this and I just remember thinking, well They said for the longest time that this was a Republican shutdown. Clearly it's not. If They are caving.

See, you you you have to pick You know, you got to pick a narrative here. They can't have it both ways, they don't get to have it both ways. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. Uh We've got a lot to discuss as we get rolling, get you set up for the day.

It's uh somewhat Cool in Texas still for those of you. Can I just say the amount of, I ought to read it and just call it the weather edition of hate mail, the amount of hate mail that I got from people. who live in parts of the country where they're getting snow for the first time. Cain, they were none too pleased. At me saying that the fifty degree temperature.

was too much for me and I needed a fire and it was h so horrible and Oh my gosh, the amount of There's only I think only when I s talked about candy corn And then I can't remember the other topic. I've gotten weird things where I get a deluge of response about it. And this was one of those times.

So people were not happy, Kane. They think that we would die in the Arctic. And you know what? They're correct. You're right.

I would. That's why I don't like 50-degree. You know what it is now? Yeah, I know. It's 70 degrees now.

I don't know what to do. I don't know how to live my life. When it's seven it goes from 50 to 70. I don't know how to live. At least in Missouri, it was kind of swampy.

You know, and you could you could in Texas, I've My garden's like, are we growing still? What's happening? What's up? Yeah, is it spring, another growing season? It just has no idea.

It's very confused.

So, not as confused. Segue. As the left is on everything. I um peo the other thing that that I I hear a lot about Whether or not You will have Um a new Democrat Party leader because of Schumer. Because The base is rebelling.

They're very upset. They're very upset. You heard a collection of Democrats that were speaking about this. Rokana was one who's been leading the charge. And they keep saying that they are going to call for Chuck Schumer to.

Resign or to step down as Senate Majority Leader, which is never going to happen, by the way. It's never ever, ever going to happen ever. He's going to step down if he feels like it. Here's the problem that I want to put in perspective with folks when they're talking about who's going to take over the Democrat Party. And AOC represents, yes, she's very loud on social media.

Totally get that. She's very loud on social media. But that doesn't necessarily translate into influence and uh you know, getting votes nationally. Maybe she can do it for her district in the state of New York, but that doesn't translate nationally. And if you ask whether or not nationally she has the ability to step up and lead the party, I don't think that she does because there are too many still.

Independence, I think, within the Democrat Party, the ones that have stayed because they keep thinking that maybe the Democrat Party is going to turn a new leaf. And they're more of the social. progressives to all the fiscal ones left. But some of the ones who are clinging to like a more moderate social position, they're still there. And I I just don't think that she's very representative of a lot of them.

And again, that's just a very small area that she comes from. She doesn't move the needle in elections. She doesn't move the needle in legislation at all, whatsoever. And she's not a major fundraiser. You have to be all of those things to even be considered for Senate Majority Leader, which she's not.

Some of the loudest people actually aren't some of the biggest fundraisers. And if you look at members of the House, there's a reason why some of the loudest people. They don't really necessarily have seniority because fundraising comes with that. And fundraising is indicative of your ability to reach outside of your sphere, not just your ability to control and retain and harness votes, but to do that for others as well. She comes from a solid blue district.

So that's why she can do what she does. Don't mistake. continued support. from her very Her small district. Yes, it's in Manhattan, but in the grand scheme of things, again, small district, very blue.

Don't confuse that with nationwide appeal.

So you know, I know that some people you know d disagree with that, but There's they've been saying this. With different demographics for such a long time. It's just not something that's just, it's just not something that's gonna happen with the left. It's not something that's gonna happen with that party. At some point, Schumer.

Is going, I mean, when he does step down, when he decides he's, you know, done with the Senate, I think that's when he's going to leave, kind of like Pelosi is done. I think he'll pull a Pelosi. But there isn't anyone so far in the Senate that can step up to do what he does. There isn't. I mean, because you have to understand parliamentary process, you have to understand all of the landmines.

You've got to deal with the McConnells and all this stuff. And this is one of the reasons why, you know, Trump might, he might. uh criticize McConnell. Uh, you know, to a great deal, but McConnell's the reason J.D. Vance is in the Senate.

I mean, Tucker Carlson also lobbied everybody to get J.D. Vance in there. His son's the deputy press secretary for J.D. Vance. But Mitch McConnell bailed J.D.

Vance's Senate race out to the tune of millions upon millions with his pack. McVance was not winning that race. He was going to lose. And McConnell went in and bailed him out. And so, you know, and he's able to go and do a lot of stuff in the Senate, the judiciary, et cetera.

There's a lot of things that people disagree with him about. I get it. But when you're talking about being the Senate majority leader for Democrats, you have to be able to handle a McConnell. And there's nobody else who can step up in that party to do that right now. Nobody.

As far as the House, I mean, you know, you got a couple of people, I guess, that can, you know, I mean, you got Hakeem Jeffries there. He's got some seniority, but that's about it. He's somebody else who doesn't move the needle. He's somebody else whose name doesn't come up in big Manhattan fundraising or anything else.

So they have a problem because they didn't recruit a lot. They haven't recruited a lot of people since Obama. And I've been talking about this for 10 years, over 10 years, actually. When Barack Obama the White House, he took the entire digital fundraising apparatus and all of its people with him. He did not work with the Democrat Party after he left.

He refused. He would not work with them. And so when he left, he took all of that with him because he didn't want anyone else to get a slice of the pie in true Marxist fashion.

So they didn't recruit a lot. Of young guns, they didn't have a lot of young lawmakers coming up. And so that was one of the reasons, too. I think they were forced into essentially elevating their street team, for the lack of a better way to put it.

So it's very interesting. Um to see you know, some of the power shifts in that party. But for, as I said last night on Fox, really, the Democrat Party, as you know, it has been done for a while. The last thing that has to change basically is the name because they're not the Democrat Party anymore. You can't look at their policies and tell me that they are.

So that's been, that is a huge topic of conversation. And I get it. I get it. I understand why. I understand why people want to know who's going to take over because you want to understand how to strategize and beat these people.

You know, in elections. And I totally get that. But, you know, the Republicans are having their own. Fight as well. Who's going to ascend after Trump?

And you're already seeing some of the right go after Trump as he gets closer every day to terming out. They're going to try to wrest control from his hands. And that's part of what I think Marjorie Taylor Greene's doing. Marjorie Taylor Greene as well. She's.

I think she's been really railing at now.

Some of the things that she criticizes POTUS on, you know, I dislike the 600,000 Chinese students, but there's a way that she positions her stances and the way that she discusses it, she shows her card. She's not a strategist.

So I don't know. That's a lot of stuff we got to talk about as we, because we've got about a year till midterms kick off, really.

Well, no.

Well, yeah, basically a little over a little less than a year. Also, some of the other things that we are looking at, in addition to. All of the Antifa protests at college campuses. You also have the House Freedom Caucus. They're doing a victory lap.

You need to spike the football more. Republicans need to spike the football a hell of a lot more than they do because people like to see wins celebrated because it reminds them of those wins. But we're also going to get into POTUS on Nigeria, the Epstein stuff. It's the folks over at All Family Pharmacy. All Family Pharmacy is a great entity.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I really wish everybody would leave Wendy Williams alone. I really like her. A lot of people don't know this, but that's actually the first time I ever did television with Wendy Williams because she was the first big female broadcaster.

And she was so kind and gracious. Show me her wig room. That woman, show me. She was always so nice. But I feel like a lot of people are trying to manipulate her.

So now they were saying she has dementia. She does not have dementia. Her doctors are walking back this diagnosis nearly two years later. They are treating her so horrifically, it's enraging. But her lawyers are hopeful that the new results are gonna influence a judge to terminate her host's guardianship.

I think somebody's just trying to get out of her money. That's what this is.

Somebody's trying to manipulate this woman. They are trying to get a court order to drug this woman and they are trying to take her money. My opinion, that is exactly what that is. Also, Another cruise. Panic.

Oh my gosh. Panic at the sea. A cruise, is this a catamaran? Why are we on that? Oh my gosh, why are we on it in the open sea?

Part of their offering. No, that's a giant, those are giant waves. 50 individuals aboard a catamaran were rescued by the Navy as their vessels sank. It was, they were ferrying pat, okay, so it was ferrying, it was off the Dominican Republic's coast.

So they had a rescue, but I'm sorry, I'm looking at the little catamaran, the little twee catamaran. How in the world were 50 people, A, on it, B, why, C, Seriously, there's more. There are more things there, right? that you can Use and have To make a catamaran out of. If they can't dock, they have to catamaran over.

That's insane to me. I was like terrified there was going to be another poo cruise, like the Netflix thing. I'm just scared. Terrifying. A postal worker was killed after, oh, getting stuck in a, oh my gosh, a mail handling machine.

And they only discovered the body when the distraught fiancé turned up to report him missing. Oh, they, oh, he was in his 30s. Oh my gosh. He was trapped for several hours inside of a large mail handling machine. This was in Detroit.

They think it was accidental. They're still, they think, they're still investigating. This is something the Joker would do out of Batman. They discovered his body was discovered by firefighters who responded after he failed to return home from his shift. His fiancé, good on her, she kept on it.

But they, oh my gosh, can you believe that? Can you believe that? That's so horrific.

Now they have that.

Now they're investigating workplace safety there. I would think so, right? How does this even happen? The number one country song in America is AI Generated, which is pretty much all of pop country as it is anyway. This is coming from Newsweek.

The country digital song sales. Chart. The number one is Walk My Walk by an artist called Breaking Rust that is all entirely AI, the artist and everything. What does it say about us? Uh Okay, I'm not closing the story because I'm coming back to it.

What does that say about us? I've got issues now with this. Of course it is. A drunk nine-year-old was working in British Columbia Carnival Ride when the drunk patron fell out. Oh, sorry.

Nine-year-old when the drunk patron fell. Why is the nine-year-old? We're coming back to this one, too. We're coming back to this one. Don't go anywhere.

Gotta come back. Folks who helped make the program possible. It is the people over at Super Beats. You guys are very familiar with Super Beats, the company, Human. Was founded out of the UT Health Science Center, built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide.

Well, Brian, it's the Democrats tried to stop President Trump. They couldn't stop him in the courts. They couldn't stop him with the mainstream media.

So they shut down the government. And they've taken the mask off. Ezra Klein in the New York Times yesterday actually said this was never about health care. This was about President Trump and his totalitarianism.

So they were willing to cost the government tens of billions of dollars. The economy was in a great place, 3.8% growth last quarter, tracking very well this time. I think we're going to accelerate into twenty twenty six, but they've caused a hiccup here. Putting it mildly. Yeah.

They caused a hiccup. That's uh Scop Essent. They caused a hiccup. You know, they tried to stop him in the courts. They couldn't stop him with the, so they shut down government.

I think that there's something to that. But I also think that This was a very I also think that this was kind of a dry run for them. For Democrats. I think this is a dry run for How Kind of, they're taking the temperature of their party to see how far they can push it. Going ahead of midterms.

This is a fascinating thing to me because both parties are really shifting and changing. The right has the coalition, the right has its own problems right now. Wright's also trying to deal with its problems, just FYI. But The left has changed so quickly and so fundamentally. Even, and I'm not just talking about from now to like the 60s, I mean, from now until.

Like going back to 2010. Even 2015. That It isn't I mean, they're not the same party there. If you go and look at what they're Platform is now, and you go to the DNC website and you read it, it's so incredibly different from what it was, and a lot of people feel politically homeless. And I think that they're sort of kind of taking a temperature to see how far they can go, how far their base will carry them.

And as you can tell, they didn't work. It didn't work so well with polling. It didn't work very well with them.

Now, one of the criticisms that POTUS is receiving, let me pull this up. I was reading a couple of things about this this morning. He is There Upset Well, for a couple of things. One of them is the, pull this up. Is the Syrian Leader who visited with Potus, Ahmed al-Shara.

He had a White House visit. This was just a couple of days ago. The Washington Post, everybody else has just been going crazy over it. And A lot of people were asking, like at one point, I think he was quoted, Trump was quoted and asking him how many wives he had. Thank you.

But One I they broached the Abraham Accords in this. And apparently Shiraz said that Syria is not going to enter talks directly right now. on the Abraham Accords. I like that they're pushing it. Because This uh I think they can and I think they should.

I think that there this was I go back to the strike on Iran. And after Asad was run out, and then you have Shura who takes over, and Shura was the jihadi. I mean, you know, Juan's preparing some of the uh The White House meeting there for you. He was a jihadi, he absolutely was. And I think that there's this is where it gets a little weird in terms of geopolitical issues and how.

The president has to position himself with this because. This guy, yes, he's a jihadi. But if you remember, back to my point when we had the the strikes on Iran. The regime, the new regime, pulled support. For Iran.

Iran was not allowed to use Syrian airspace anymore. That was a huge issue. And that enabled the United States and Israel to do what they needed to do. That was incredibly significant. And I think that that was a response to when Trump was in the Middle East and when he was giving his speech.

And he said that now with the fall of Assad, because Assad's always been pushed as like great Christian defender, right? That's why all of the Russian sycophants go on and on about Bashir al Asad. Mayor saying, oh, well, you know, now that he's, you know, he's over there in the Middle East, etc. And Trump, I thought Trump's speech was great. He was speaking at this business event.

The. Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia stood up and applauded him.

So did the whole room. He got a standing ovation when he said that now, because of regime change in Syria, they were going to rethink and reapproach and, you know, perhaps start to chip away at these sanctions that have been placed on Syria. And this is one of the reasons why there hasn't been a lot of Arab investment in Syria because of the sanctions. Nobody wanted to find themselves hit punitively as a consequence of doing business with a sanctioned country. No one wanted to get sideways with the United States on that.

And so when he did that, I think this was the refusing Iran's. request to use their airspace was sort of like you did that for us we're going to do this for you So he's in DC, regardless of whether you like whether you like it or not. It does not change the fact that Shira is still now the leader of Syria. Whether you like it or not doesn't change that fact. Whether he was a jihadi or not doesn't change that fact.

The fact is, is that he is now the leader of Syria.

So, you can either choose to operate in a manner that best benefits the United States, or you can choose to alienate. An entity and perhaps work against the goal of minimizing Iranian Shia control over in that part of the world. which has posed a threat to the United States, because no man, no country is an island. And I think that's what Trump's positioning is doing. There are a lot of people who I don't think understand this, and they don't understand the history of it.

It is what it is. Not everybody, there are some people who think that every nation can be just like the United States if only the United States, you know, white knights over there and sets up a republic with democratic processes for them. That's not how that works. It's never going to work. And some parts of the world are never, ever going to do that.

And it's not our job to make sure that they do. You want to talk about nation building, that's nation building. That's not our job to ensure that they adopt our processes. It is our job to make sure that we have allies and that no one's going to hurt our interests. That's it.

That's it. And I think that he accomplished that. Does it change? Shira's past. No, it doesn't.

No one's even saying that it does. No one is denying what this dude was or where he came from. But this is where you get very clinical about diplomacy. in these geopolitical spheres. We don't there's no room for people to get emotional about it.

Does it advance your goal, yes or no? Does it benefit the United States, yes or no? Does it benefit our interest? Yes or no? And there are a lot of people that like to talk a good game about how hard ass they are, and then they get so soft and emotional on this issue and decide to go and criticize the administration for it.

Of all the things to criticize the admin for, I mean, they're bypassing 50-year mortgages and paying people thousands of dollars as part of the tariffs, but that you let fly, but this is what you go after? That doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, Kane, you don't like the guy, but he's still the head of Syria. Yep, it doesn't change his position based on what I feel. Exactly.

I would rather have someone over there who is not amenable to Iran than have someone over there who is amenable to Iran. That's the whole point of this. That's one of the reasons why I didn't like the United States' involvement in Libya. And this was under Barack Obama. Remember, you had Sid Blumenthal, you had Hillary Clinton.

They wanted to get in their ground floor of nation building. They thought they were going to be able to flick out Muammar Gaddafi and get in there and install a leader and then do whatever they wanted to do. Lo and behold, did they not know? Did they not know? I mean You created a power vacuum and then the brutes moved in because you had to have a brute to manage the brutes.

And that one learned his lesson after watching Iraq. And he was no longer, he wasn't posing any kind of issue for the United States at that point, but it didn't stop the Clintons from wanting to nation build. It didn't stop Obama Clinton. You know, for all the talk about Obama control in his house, he let that woman walk all over him in terms of foreign policy. Hillary Clinton mucked up so many things all across the world, whether it was Russia, whether it was Honduras, whether it was Libya, whether it was backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

She was one of the worst Secretary of States in the history of this nation. It is embarrassing how many losses that woman racked up on the board. Why does no one talk about that? That's what the Trump administration had to walk into. A show.

Better walk into that. Barack Obama let her walk all over him. He had no idea what he was doing. That's the whole reason Joe Biden was there in the first place: to provide some sort of balance as a diplomat and a statesman.

Well, hell, he wasn't doing it. He was too busy merching out his office for financial gain.

So Hillary Clinton did it all. and she made a mess of the world. I mean, maybe next to Carter. Carter's the worst, followed by Clinton. The worst.

So Oh my gosh, Lorraine said she listened to the AI Country song. No, it doesn't slap Lorraine. It does not. Not doing this. Can we go back to this for a second?

So the number one country's on. Right now, this is according to I'm looking at Newsweek. It's a AI. The artist is AI. What did they do?

Did they do it with Chat GP? How did they make this? Is it ChatGPT? I don't think it's ChatGPT, but it's some program where you just plug in. the genre, the lyrics?

Actually, they're not. Do you write the lyrics or does it do all of that? I think you can write the lyrics, but I think it also, you just give it a premise. And it writes the lyrics for you. You guys are witnesses to history because yesterday was the first time on air that I literally asked AI anything.

I am so anti, I've been so anti-I don't hate technology. I love technology. As an aid to people, I don't want to encourage it to get over its skis. You know what I'm saying? What were you asking AI?

I forget. I was asking it yesterday. Oh, I can't remember. Oh, um. I can't remember what story I was asking it on, just live on air.

Like, let's ask AI.

So, I'm fascinated by this. That you can just say, this is what I want, a pop country song, and it spits it out for you, like the Jetsons. Yeah. I get why artists are nervous. I get why animators are nervous.

Now, when I'm watching films, or especially if I'm watching like a series, a TV series. I'm looking at the background going, was this AI generated? Like, how much of this was AI, right? Because now it's CG. And then you really have an appreciation for practical effects.

I don't want to listen to this song. But okay, so that's it. If you come up with an AI song, Kane, who owns the rights? Right, that's what I'm wondering. Because it's derivative.

So it's whoever prompted the AI to make it then? Yeah. Oh, gosh. Lorraine knows it. I asked ChatGPT how many air traffic controllers worked through the shutdown yesterday.

Thank you. That's what I asked. I forgot about that. That's legit the first time I actually asked. I don't know why I don't consider ChatGPT AI, though.

Like there's AI programs that have already been swindled. I mean, but I don't think it's. It's like a person, Dana. It's my friend. This new version of ChatGPT sucks compared to the last version, though.

I didn't even use the last version. I again, I I'm I've been debating with myself for five weeks now if I'm going to get a robot vacuum just for like part of my house, not even, you know. Not even giving it full, full uh control. I, but that, so if you have an AI-generated song, it's derivative, right? Because it's essentially.

Choline or gleaning from everything else that's out there.

So I don't know how that wouldn't be copyright infringement. Example. When you do you remember the little girl statue that they installed outside of the in the financial district in Manhattan? And it was standing outside, it was put up outside Wall Street, and she was supposed to be facing off against the bull. And then the artist.

Who sculpted the bull filed suit of copyright infringement and won because half of her meaning. was the bull. She was literally playing on someone else's. Intellectual property, that statue, in order for that statue to mean what it meant. And as a result, that was considered copyright infringement because the sculpture was lost without the bull.

And they had to move it. That guy won.

So that's what I'm talking about with AI generated music. You have, it gleans from what's already out there. And Then it compiles it and then composes it, and then that's the final composition. That's super derivative.

So Man, I really feel bad. I feel bad for intellectual property attorneys. Actually, I don't, because they're going to get rich. and patent attorneys. Actually, I don't.

They're going to get super rich too. I don't feel bad for any of them. They're they're going to be rolling in all the dough coming up. If you're going into law, there you go. Go into those fields, I'm telling you.

We have more on the way as we roll towards days of these United States. And as we do so, the folks who help make it possible, it's our friends over at Preborns, this is a great organization that does so much to help women who are facing unplanned pregnancies, especially if society tells them that they're not strong enough to raise a baby on their own. And here's the thing: when women hear their infant's heartbeat, especially if a woman's considering even thinking about abortion, when she hears her baby's heartbeat through an ultrasound, they are 50% over 50% more likely. It actually doubles the chance for the baby, baby's chance at life. And it also reinforces the commitment with the mother.

And when she walks into a preborn clinic, she's welcomed with compassion. She meets her baby through an ultrasound. And that moment, that ultrasound, is $28.

Now, that's like the cost of a dinner route, right?

So, think of it: $28, and you could save a life. It could be the best $28 you have ever spent in your life. Can you imagine an entire legacy? What if it's like the kid that grows up and cures diseases? $28 made that difference, and that's what you're doing.

That is literally what you're doing. You're stepping in and you're saving families, and you're also helping pre-born. And pre-born doesn't just stop at ultrasounds, they partner with these women for the first two years of these babies' lives to make sure that they're getting off on the right foot, they start strong, and they have a firm foundation on which to build their family and legacy. They've saved over actually coming around to half a million babies now since 2007, and they've counseled over half a million women. And as year-end giving season approaches, there's no greater investment than the gift of life.

You can make a real lasting difference. Everything is tax-deductible. Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Say the word baby.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. We love you. We love you too. You're amazing. We love you.

And thank you for believing in us. We love you very much. Do you have a message for the queer fans who are watching this? We love you. We love you.

We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. And Oz has always been a queer place, a safe place.

It is. Queer people for every different color of the rainbow for everybody. Read the L. Frank Baum books. It's the truth.

You're safe with us. We love you so much. That part. The gayer, the better. Do you have a message for the girlfriend stats?

Oh, we love you too. We love you too. Where is our camera? Are they as high? levels of gay?

Yeah, is it like Dante's Inferno where you have like different levels? Like you have like your. Normal gaze, and then there's just more glitter and twinkery as you just descend. Like, how does that work? I don't understand you know, what how does that what does that even mean?

Why can't it just be like it's a movie? You know, I mean you're talking about how people have sex. Why does everything have to be tinged with it? Why does everything have to be viewed through that perspective? Why can't you just be a normal person and not sex-obsessed?

That's what this is.

Stop it. Stop it. It's just so goofy. That's Ariana Grande, who looks like a Minecraft character. She's lost so much weight.

All the fat in her face is gone. God love her. And now it's just hard angles. It's just hard angles on the jaw, hard angles on the. the cheekbone, it's just all hard angles.

You can't do that. As you get to your 30s, you can't be losing your body fat like that, ladies. You got to keep that body fat in your face. What's up? I don't think she had like plastic surge or anything.

I think she just dropped a lot of weight. And then I don't know why she bleaches her eyebrows. That doesn't look good on anybody. You nob you know, not even mannequins. Stop.

Then she talks like Chris Katan when he was doing Kippie's voice from. the Olympics back with Kippie and Carrie struggle It's so great. That's what sounds like. All right, we got our another hour on the way. Don't go anywhere.

Stick with us. As we move, the folks who help uh bring you the program, make it all possible over at Burn A Gun. I've told you guys a a lot of times before, uh, it um And I always carry. I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself. Or a loved one, but I also understand that sometimes you're disarmed by property.

restrictions, municipal restrictions, things like that. And uh you need to make sure that you have a diversified Weapons array, so to speak.

So, you want to make sure you're always protected. This is where the burner gun comes in. The burner gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. It's the most common, the CL, that's called the Compact Launcher, that's the popular one that they have. It's for this entire purpose.

It's super popular. Maximum concealability. Easy target acquisition and no recoil. If you consider regular stun guns, have one or two rounds. This, you got 15-round shock capacity per cartridge, all made right here in the US of A.

And it's powered by CO2.

So this, you got the legal flexibility because it's legal in all 50 states. It doesn't care about gun-free zone signs. It doesn't care about all that stuff that's stuck to the door, sometimes not legally, telling you you can't carry. There's no background checks. There's no permits.

There's no fees. There's no tax stamp. You can buy it online and they ship it right to your door. I think it's also real smart too for college kids that live alone and they are old enough to go and carry full auto in defense of our country and foreign soil, but they can't be trusted to carry a 9mm for protection against threats for their own life here in the United States while they're going to college. This is a solution for that.

There's never going to be a country like what we have right now. The Republicans have to talk about it later. And does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers. We have plenty of talented people in the world.

No, you don't. No, you don't. We don't have talented people in the world. No, you don't have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can't take people off an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory where we're going to make missiles.

How did we ever do it before?

Well, let me know. When you and I were. I'll give you an example. In Georgia, They raided because they wanted illegal immigrants out. They had people from South Korea.

That made batteries all their lives. You know, making batteries are very complicated. It's not an easy thing and very dangerous, a lot of explosions, a lot of problems. They had like five or six hundred people. early stages to make batteries and to teach people how to do it.

Well, they wanted them to get out of the country. You're going to need that, Laura. I mean, I know you and I disagree on this. You can't just say a country's coming in, going to invest $10 billion to build a plant and going to take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in five years, and they're going to start making missiles. It doesn't work that way.

So this was a very interesting discussion. And look, I got to give kudos to Laura Ingram for. You know, following up and asking questions. And, you know, maybe some people, Tucker needs to watch how she interviews or watch my interview with Kevin Roberts. That's how you follow up and you.

You do follow-up questions and you ask this stuff. And it doesn't have to be combative. I mean, if it's about finding out, you know, okay, why do you think the way that you think about this issue enlightened me? Isn't that the whole purpose? Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you.

We're at the top of the second hour. A lot of people, myself included, have a major problem with the H1B visa situation because I do think it's an absolute scam. I think it's an absolute scam. I think that we have a lot of talented people in the United States, and I think it's been used by corporations as an excuse to get cheap foreign labor at the expense of American workers. Bottom line.

There's no other way around it. I mean, right now, look, the Department of Labor has launched an investigation. They have over 100 ongoing investigations right now into H-1B abuses. Lots of abuses. They said that they have 175 ongoing missions right now targeting potential abuses within the H-1B visa program as part of its mission to protect American jobs.

Let me tell you that protecting American jobs and protecting American workers, that is not only America first, but it's a national security issue. A major national security issue. I know that it was just sort of given, you know, as an example about making missiles, but Kane, honestly, I don't want. Uh I don't wanna f I don't care how it sounds. I don't want a foreign worker making American missiles.

Just to use that as an example, that was brought up in the cut. No, I get that. But I don't, I mean, I don't want to ignore the fact that over the last decade, as this government has been offshoring manufacturing, including we're talking ships, not just missiles, but ships and other important things that involve national security. I want the people that know how to do it to teach Americans how to do it. And then they go home.

And I know that that was something that Scott Besson addressed this morning. And it is a temporary thing for the specific manufacturing that Trump is bringing back. He's got $17 to $20 trillion in investments that he's brought back into the United States. It's going to take some time before we get that ball going. But we're going to need some of that talent that we haven't had here and haven't needed here because things were not being manufactured here.

I And I think, and I get that. I think the response isn't to just keep letting the flood of And I'm not saying that's what you're stating, but I don't think the response is letting Uh you know, these individuals that have You know, just a flood of H1B visa workers come in. And to your point, it has been used as a scam. It has been used to uh essentially the excuse is, well, we need these people here. And at the time when we were offshoring, we didn't need those people here.

So you're right, it was used as a scam during that time. But I think now we're in a point where we want to bring back manufacturing that hasn't been here for a while. And in order to do that, we have to bring in the people to teach Americans how to do it so then they can temporarily do that and then go home. And I think some of this also is the college students that we allow in. I think that we need to be with our universities.

I, you know. Why not, since I don't, it's going to take an, it's going to take a monumental movement. to uncouple The issue of government running student loans. uncoupling that. After that was pretty much centralized under Obama Biden.

And Until that happens. You know, you're going to have colleges and universities for those who are seeking higher education. It's going to be prohibitively expensive. Why not then make it super expensive? For foreign students based on country.

coming into the United States. You know, like I don't want 600,000 Chinese students who are in good standing with the CCP coming into the United States. I don't, and I think that's completely fair. You know what? Why is every other country allowed to do that, but not the United States?

We're treated like second-class citizens in this world. We're mooched off of, we're leeched off of, we're condescended to, and we're treated as second-class citizens. Tired of it. I agree. And the the Chamber of Commerce actually Proposed a $100,000 fee on certain H-1B visas, like the ones that universities were, I would imagine Stanford, Harvard, and the others.

But the AAU joined a lawsuit against that idea.

So I agree with you. You should make it more expensive for certain H-1B visas, the ones that don't necessarily benefit the United States in any way. I'd say eliminate them altogether. But the ones that we absolutely need are considered to be and being messaged as right now by the administration as temporary. I mean I hope so.

But I I those coming in from China, no. I think if you're coming in from a communist nation, no more importation of communists. And then have it on a graduating scale of liberty. This is how much you got to pay. To come in.

And then you know what?

Some of those fees could be used to offset until we're able to figure out the mess of. College financial aid and all of that, undo that mess. But as far as it relates to H-1B, we just allow people to come in for everything. Do we need another humanities degree? A foreign worker with a humanities degree?

Dear heavens, no. No. Good night.

Some of these degrees are so stupid and worthless. They really are. And we've got to really, people began looking at colleges and universities like, Um Uh Like back in the olden days when people would go to balls and galas and all of that stuff, and that's how Uppercrest families mingled, and that's how you presented your daughters. People use college the same way. It's like societal entry.

It's where they go and mingle with other people within their same social status. And that's what it's really ultimately used for more than anything else. Nobody wants to admit it, but let's be honest, that's what it is. I mean, I know women who like spend, you know, six figures trying to get their daughters in certain universities and certain sororities in those universities, and the girls are going into like, you know, art history or something like that. Like, why?

Why are you doing that? It's because it's about preserving social standing. And we have gotten this very bougie, very aristocratic view of higher ed, and it's got to stop. Because that's part of the driving reason. I mean, you guys remember back in the 70s and 80s, if you weren't going to get a four-year degree, you were looked down on.

You were looked down on. That's a real thing. You, you know, you were looked at, you were condescended to. It was as if though you, what you were accomplishing or doing in life wasn't as good as somebody else because they were going into debt for school. I don't know, but the Labor Department said that they're trying to put a stop to the H-1B visa abuse.

I I don't think we should be taking anybody in. Unless it can be used to train American workers and uh used to boost our own American workforce. and it should only be temporary and it's not a guarantee. Even then. And then everyone else, no, because we've got enough communists here, we have enough people with worthless humanities degrees.

We have enough of it. It's done. It's a national security issue at this point. And it's to where we have industries that Americans aren't even going to be able to participate in because we've imported in an entire workforce. This is a very serious thing.

And I get that there are businesses out there that want to protect that and they want to have cheaper labor costs.

Well, then that's a conversation to have with labor. But you don't, and labor also needs to be a little bit, you know, let's be a little bit realistic about it as well. You help us, we help you. You know what I'm saying? We don't want to see American workers undercut.

In fact, all of these steps are taken to ensure that American workers are protected. But by God, don't be fleecing the American public with stuff. And I'm talking especially to some of these big old bosses. And you know that the workers don't always align on in terms of agreement with the bosses. There's a way to meet in the middle and deal with us so that we don't have American workers punished in the end.

And that that's that's something that's got to happen.

So I was pleased to see that pushback, but this idea that we got a lot of talented people. And uh we I don't know, it just it's I will say that one of the things I think that Elon Musk has done has I think he's kick-started a renewed interest, a resurgence. In newcomers into tech. and engineering and making it look cool and accessible and showing everything that can be done with such a course of study and how you don't necessarily have to go to very expensive universities. I mean, granted, it helps that he's kind of, that he's super smart and he's a genius, that helps, but you don't necessarily have to go into debt in order to get the kind of foundation to do something that he's done.

And I think that's been very, very helpful, especially for younger generations to see. But younger generations can't do this on their own. Older generations need to stop treating colleges and universities like these aristocratic steps into life. I think that's a fair assessment, Kane. Am I being too harsh on that?

Because I feel like that's what it's looked at. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it is looked at that way. To case, I know you know people who sent, you know how it is, the big fraternities and sororities down south with these colleges, right?

So we have a friend, and they're very, very, very great people, three daughters. And each one of the daughters went to a big giant um University in the South. One actually went into nursing to be. Uh what am I thinking of? The nurse that's basically underneath a doctor.

I'll think of it in a minute. Earla Rain will remind me. The other one literally went into art history, and the other was going to go into education and then changed. Course of study and ended up going into something like literature or whatever. I'm like, why are you going into debt for that?

That's a worthless degree. But the amount of money that they, the bulk of it, was they wanted to go and be in a sorority and they paid. An ungodly amount of money for the clothes, the makeup for Rush Week. That's all true. All of that's true.

That's not even remotely exaggerated. That's all true. And I love traditions, but at the same time, I think that that is incredibly unrealistic. to do to approach to start out life like that.

So, you can check that box and have that social outing. I don't know, it's just all weird to me. We've got to stop. Treating college like it's this Um I don't know. We have a very antiquated view of how it fits in with modern American life and education, I think.

We're seeing more people in trade schools now rather than taking this academia. And they're doing much better. And those are, by the way, I think those sustain longer. I just think that once you have a talent, it can never be taken away and you can make money with that the rest of your life. Yeah, I had a cousin that went into trade school into electrical engineering, and I don't even know what he does because it sounds very complicated.

And he didn't go to regular college. He went to a trade school. That dude makes six figures. He makes six figures. Effective training is where it's at.

So just saying, and we need those people. I mean, that's what we really need. It's the folks over at Relief Factor. Relief Factor can help you out with your everyday aches and pains. They want me to tell you about a man named Bob.

Is this why you like ChatGPT, Kane? Because apparently ChatGPT has empathy and some say that it acts more human.

than doctors even do. I know, that's where we are. AI chat bots like ChatGPT apparently score two points higher than doctors on some imaginary 10-point empathy scale that we're all supposed to believe has existed for a long time. The advantage held across 13 of 15 studies examining a whole bunch of stuff, blah, blah, blah. Text-only interactions is what it evaluated it as.

It didn't even look at in-person or voice consultations. It was just text. It's all can tell. This is so stupid. Why is this even a study?

Did someone spend money on this? I'm so crying out loud. I'm closing this out. It's too stupid to read. Uh, let's see.

Uh, we had this one. The Atlantic headlight was from yesterday. A woman born with no brain turns 20 in a medical miracle. She was told she'd never make it to five. Medicine's awesome.

Cursive is now a lost art. Writing cursive. I think that It should be taught. because it's valuable. And also, everyone writes like Chicken Scratch.

I just cannot believe that it's considered a lost art at this point. Nobody does cursive anymore. Nobody, everybody prints like, you know. toddlers. They all print.

Coffee's good for you again. It may protect against irregular heartbeats. This follows the headline from last week where it said it was bad for you. Yay, so now it's good for you again. I am going to come back to the nine-year-old that lost a drunk passenger out of the carney ride, the carnival ride in British Columbia.

I'm a lesbian. I'm not transphobic and I'm black.

So if there's another black woman in here who wants to tell me how they feel, please join in. But all of you are not. And I don't know who you are or what you are, but I'm a lesbian and I'm telling you right now, men are harassing women in the locker room. Let's let him answer the question. I'm just telling you, since I want to woo, woo, woo.

No, just that that's that's now I'm done. And by the way, I respect what you have done. I just want to let you know that. Let's give this a handout back. I appreciate your point of view.

I'm so sorry that you were wrong. Multiple times. I appreciate you talking about it. I think we need to protect the safety of all women. Obviously, that's incredibly important.

I also know that trans women are also brutalized in this country.

So, women and cis-bedrooms are brutalized. What answer is that? That's, I think they say his name Weiner, but we're calling him Wiener. Scott Wiener. What'd you say?

Yeah, it's weener. Yeah, well, you know, typically. Uh He's the guy who's challenging, he's going to try to take over Nancy Pelosi's seat in California. And this was at like a it was like a meet and greet. that he was having in California where he was questioned.

By You remember the audio that we had played, I think it was last week. Uh uh tish Her last name starts with an A and it slips in my mind now. Tish Hyman. Tish Hyman. No, it doesn't start with an A, Tish Hyman.

She's the like Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter. She's a gym buff. She's, you know, works out, works on her fitness. And she's out in California, and she was the one in the video who. While she was in the women's locker room at her gym, a man walked in, like right as she was changing.

So she's in a state of undress and a man walks in. And she says something because she's shocked, as any normal woman would. And the man was very aggressive in his response to her. And then he called her a bitch, and then that's when all home broke loose, and then um. She was on video subsequently.

saying that, you know, alerting the women at the gym that there's a man in the locker room. And so they really attacked her, really, with this. And the gem dismissed uh I mean, they canceled her membership. You guys remember the video for that? They canceled her membership.

And so She was at this um Oh, by the way, the guy that's at the gym, Alexis, he calls himself Alexis Black. He has a history of assault. He apparently beat up his ex-wife.

So he has a history of assault against women. And he's, and he was not just walking in the locker room and changing, he was. described as displaying his genitalia.

Sounds like he was doing a little bit more than changing in the locker room. You know what I mean? And so He got, she got, she ended up because she was the one who criticized it and worried about her safety. She's the one who ended up. being having her gym membership canceled.

So she's And the guy has a history, again, a documented history of domestic violence. And she has every right to feel, as she was saying, deeply concerned about women's safety in female-only spaces.

So she's sitting right in front of this wiener. What's his name? Scott Weiner, at this town hall style meeting. And you heard what Weiner said. It was a Kamala Harris word salad.

I have the transcript. He says, we want everybody to be safe, and we also know that we have trans people, both men and women, who are men and women. What? What? And he was saying, yes.

And she was explaining to him. Uh because she's apparently uh an advocate, she's a lesbian and an advocate for LGB. I don't think she has the T and the Q on there, but whatever. And She's uh and and He's apparently tries to be an LGBTQ advocate, civil rights advocate, Wiener. He's, by the way, he's 55.

Decker's fifty five. I guess. He's like one of those soap thin people that you can't guess their age. Anyway.

So because he's a guy who's who I guess backs the trans. And she apparently doesn't, even though she's a black lesbian, he has more intersectional boxes than she does. Is that how it works in the Victim Olympics? Progressive rules dictate that he outranks her. in the uh grievance hierarchy.

I guess that's how that goes. But she has every right to say this. She's like, look, I don't feel safe. There's dudes in here. And he's like, yeah, well, you know, I think we need to protect the safety of all women.

But then he kept trying to say, and the crowd was booing her. They were booing her when she was talking to Wiener. And he's always, I mean, he's like, well, you know, trans women are women. No, they're not. They're men pretending to be women.

And I mean, it is pfft. I I cannot believe. You have a man telling a woman, and essentially, what was happening is Scott Weiner in the town hall that you just saw in the video. I mean, essentially, he was telling her that her concerns are unfounded. Was he not?

Yeah, pretty much. Trans women, you know, in trans, a history of abuse on trans women. There's not a history of abuse on trans women. There's the guy who. Is at the gym who's beaten up women before, and he's at the gym apparently throwing us, you know, bits and pieces all around.

What do you, why is it that they, I'm so, you're, a man is not going to be victimized by other women like that. Stop it. I'm just, this is actual, that's the progressive patriarchy, and they've always been progressive, and this is just a continuation of it. This is why third and fourth wave feminists, y'all messed up. Because you opened the door to this and now your movement is done.

Your movement is so done. You came fools. This is beyond even horseshoe theory. Word salad defense.

Now, the Scott Wiener. He's trying to go for Nancy Pelosi's seat. I mean, he's got all of the weird, super far left Oh, wait, he's not 55. He's born in 70. No, he's 55.

Is he 55? Yeah, that's 55. Oh wow, yeah he is. He doesn't look 55. But I think he dyes his beard, you know?

He has like that Just for Men like beard eyed stuff and it's like super dark. Um But I um I don't know if he's going. I mean, he wants her seat in Congress. He may get it. I mean, he actually may get it.

I haven't really looked too much at his. I I've tried to avoid him. He goes to all the Yeah. I don't even know some of the stuff that he goes to. He He wears leather and he goes out to those festivals and all that stuff.

You know, wears the straps and everything. I don't know. That's all I'm going to say. But hey, I mean, you know, they could pick him. I don't know who his challengers are.

He's trying to lay the groundwork for this congressional run.

Some of the local press is like, why couldn't he have waited just a little bit? The AG endorsed him. Rob Bonta already endorsed him, that California AG.

So he, I mean, it looks like he's starting to rack up those endorsements. But that's interesting because now Tish Hyman could be a a roadblock to that.

So you have Wiener who's gay, who Does the BDSM stuff apparently and uh Does the backs the trans issues, and then you have Tish Hyman, who is a Black lesbian, who's going to win? In the minds of the left in that area, in San Francisco, in the Bay Area, who wins?

Well, based on that video clip, it certainly isn't Tish. How insane is that?

Okay. That's the l the logic of the left or the lack of it. They don't even like they she's just a plain old lesbian.

So you don't count. Can you that's basically what they're telling her? In fact, that's not basically what they're telling her. There's been an argument about that in Britain where they push back, where the trans Tifa push back against women, especially if they're like gay activists and they're like, you're just a, you're just a like a someone that one of the videos was a basic, I can't even say some of the words, be women. uh lesbian was one of the videos that came so that In the intersectional Olympics, she loses.

She's got to tear off an arm or something. She needs to be like a one-armed. Black lesbian. They booed her when she said, sorry, trans women are men.

Well, what does she have to do to get one more intersectional box over... The Wiener Guy. Like, does she have to be she probably has to stop working out? Because, can't you be obese and that counts? Remember, like super fat, mid-fat.

I don't remember the gradient. Privilege. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So what if she just turned into a fat? She's a black lesbian who's fat. Is that? Enough? 'Cause he's a gay dude who supports trans, so there's three.

Oh man. I don't know. This is what I'm talking about. It's intersectional Olympics. This is exactly what we're talking about.

So I don't know. Like I they're I I don't know. And then what if there's a candidate that decides to challenge The wiener dude. And They have more intersectional boxes. What if it's a dude who became a woman who got fat, or not became a woman, he lobbed off his Willie?

Decided to really seriously cosplay surgically as a woman and then got fat. And then has one arm. This is a like the drummer from Death Leppers. Think about it. Would that guy beat the wiener guy?

This is a real conversation. I'm being completely serious. You think that it's absurd, and you're correct. That is what they do. I am not kidding you.

That is how this works. The intersectional Olympics. That's exactly how this works. Yeah. Yeah.

So how does I know enjoy that enjoy that Bay Area. You know what I would be doing if I were the right? I would be launching like these secretly conservative, like just cosplayers. I mean, if you can pretend, why not hire actors to play. Super intersectional.

candidates and challenge all of these candidates, right? Why not? Just, you know, let's just be a chaos agent. Let's just bring up, you know, I don't know. Like, I don't know how far it's going to go.

But I feel like that's this is where we're at. That's how the left they don't look at merit. They don't look at whether you're smart. Case in point, that Jack Schlossberg brat. He's in his thirties.

He's like middle-aged now, right? When does middle age start? I don't even know when let's ask the internet. When does middle age start? Oh yeah, he's about middle aged.

So Again, this is another case of the left infantilizing. They're One of the sons of the Democrat families. Jack Schlossberg is JFK's grandson. JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy, she married. Uh and had this is one of her kids.

He's got a sister, I think, too. All he does is make these deranged videos where he goes after women and talks about their. Physical attributes and their appearances. I mean, his videos are unhinged. The left doesn't even really want anything to do with him.

He's running for Jerry Nadler's seat now. He's announcing a congressional run.

Now, he tried running before. Did he try running before, or did another one of them damn Kennedy kids try doing it? What did one of them Gingers try? Possibly. Wait, hang on.

Uh let's ask the internet. What was that other Kennedy brat? who ran for office. I said what, not who. Oh no.

So one of the grand one, yeah, another one of them, I think it was like one of Teddy's kids or something. I don't know. He was, he ran for office. And he lost horrifi horrifically. Didn't he?

Didn't Jack try running before? I don't know. He seems nuts because he is. Long story short. They, this infantilization of the dudes on their side, this is who they have.

These are their young guns. You got the wiener on California, and you got this crazy Schlossberg dude. Oh So I've never been happier to not be on the left. It's so nice. We got more on sent off.

It's time for Florida Man. All right, so who Oh, this is gross because the guy's nude. A nude Florida man, he's totally naked. That's how you say that in southern Missouri alts, naked. Any KK, ID, naked.

A Florida man done stole some wheels at a university campus. He uh stole a vehicle at Bucknell University, Callum. Dwyer. Yeah. Was charged with felony, unauthorized use of motor vehicle, receiving stolen property.

And also, I would add, if it were me, the extra charge of being gross because. He sat naked in the seat of the car.

Someone. has to clean that. And then get in the car also to drive it. Would you sit in your vehicle if someone if a naked dude stole your car and he sat in that seat? Would you sit in your seat after a naked dude had sat in your seat, Kane?

No. I would set my car on fire sooner than I'd sit in that seat. It's not going to happen. That's nasty. With a capital.

Nasty. Ugh he uh stole a white Audi Q five. And the victim said she had parked there when she went to get her vehicle. It was gone. And they saw the camera footage of a nude dude.

Yeah. Nude dude. He pulled on the vehicle's door handles. He was able to break in. They were able to identify him and they took him into custody.

He bails at 5,000, but I don't think he made it. Oh, oh my gosh, that's so gross. Like he was nude and probably touched everything. In there. That's nasty.

I mean, you mmm, I don't like buffets and I don't like naked people doing anything that's outside of the sh this. No, don't keep it in your house and don't get in other people's cars like that. That's nasty. Because you know, he probably wasn't clean either. Cain hates old people.

Listen to this: 85-year-old Florida man admits he knew he hid something. He was in a publix parking lot and he ran over a ninety one year old woman. Oh my gosh, he didn't, he's 85 years old. He ran over a 91-year-old in the grocery store parking lot at St. Petersburg.

And he said that he just kept driving home. He didn't stop. He thought he said, Well, I knew I had hid something, but he just chose to kept driving back home anyway. It happened about 5 p.m. And I can't, this is, you wouldn't stop.

That has to be pretty significant. You know what I mean? Right. Police track him down using surveillance footage and witness reports. And uh he he was driving alone, he struck this lady.

uh after she was walking through the parking lot. And uh He dro went b just kept on driving back to his apartment. Kilber.

So that's horrible. Her death, the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office, if this website can stop having the Godforsaken pop-ups that pop up every five seconds, I'll finish the sentence. The uh Coroner's office, they said that she her injuries contributed to her death. That's why she was killed, because her death was caused by her injuries from getting run over. How do you just keep going, though?

I mean, man, I know what you're saying, Kane. You and them old people, you know, maybe there's something to it. We got more on the way. Stick with us third hour.

It's good to see you, and I hope Republicans are going to be able to. I'm going to interrupt you, please. I am sick and tired of hearing you all say we had an eight-week vacation. That's exactly what happened. I worked every day.

I don't know about you. I know what it is. I worked every single day.

So we all worked every single day, and that's exactly what happened with Speaker McClintock. You're recognized. I hope that you all enjoyed yourselves while American families looked at their letters from their health insurance companies terrified that their insurance premiums were going to double or triple while the House was out of session for 53 days. That is unacceptable, Madam Chair.

Well, yeah, she did her job. Why didn't you get off your skinny no backside having backside and get up and vote yes? I mean, super easy to do, right? You guys voted no. You know what?

What the kicker is? Is that they could have done this two weeks ago and they chose not to. It's the same damn thing as it was two weeks ago. Y'all know that, right? The same bill that they voted to finally pass was the same one that was presented two weeks ago.

In fact, it was the same one presented two weeks before that, and the same one presented two weeks before that. Your inability to do your job like a grown-ass person doesn't necessitate an emergency on someone else's part. Nothing makes me sicker than when grown people don't know how to work. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you.

We're at the top of this third hour. And I get real tired of hearing these Democrats. Oh, I'm going to vacation.

Well, apparently, that's what they did. They voted no, and then they just went off and did whatever came. That's what it seems like. Yeah. I mean, I know that our congressperson here, who's a Republican, was out meeting with voters like every single day.

Every day. What I hate is the fact that they're trying to play both sides of it. They're trying to act like it's a Republican shutdown, but then they go out in public and talk about all the leverage they gave up by. Having eight senators vote to open up the government. Yeah.

You can't have it both ways. Yeah, you can't have it both ways at all. This is so, and the fact, and she's like trying to go off on this older lady. Who's a Republican? And trying to say, oh, well, you know, it just, it's, you just, you know, hope you enjoyed your vacation with her smug face.

She's sitting right next to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Girl, get real. You could have voted for the thing two weeks ago and you chose not to because you want to add a trillion and a half dollars and expand Obamacare that everybody busts their backside to afford, and it's god-awful, so that you can put a bunch of people who came into the country illegally on it. You're a welfare queen. You're an entitled Participation Trophy welfare queen.

That's what you are. This is why I can't be. I could not. could not do that. I could not be a politician.

I honestly don't understand why people want it. I guess they didn't. I think that some of them, they wanted to go make it big in Hollywood and it didn't happen.

So they went to DC to be politicians because you can't tell me that you really want that. Even if you go there with the intent to work on behalf of the people. I'm sorry, but ain't nobody worth sitting there biting your tongue that hard for.

Sorry, just not. Oh, my gosh. But that's they're really trying to really trying to work really, really hard. and fudge all of that for people. It'll go through.

We still got the flight cancellations and all of that other stuff happening. In the meantime, Let me move to a couple of other different things here, running around doing craziness. You have a socialist that won the Seattle mayor race.

So you'll have a socialist in Seattle. You're going to have a socialist in New York. Uh, where else you can have socialists? Everywhere. Yeah, wherever there's Democrats anymore.

Do you see what I mean in that? It's more and more It's not it's um More and more they are They're coming out and admitting what what they are. Where uh I think it was two thousand And 11. When I was the token conservative at CNN. And I remember saying to you, Exactly what I'm saying now.

about The issue of socialists in the Democrat Party and how they're really socialist. And oh my gosh, the Media Matters people were living at me. Media was mad at me. Can you believe she's calling Democrat socialist? But then, look, though.

Now they're coming out and they're saying it. That's what it's been all along. It's been all along. That's that's Insane. Lorraine notes too that Senate aides were the ones that had to keep working with no pay because they didn't qualify for any of the other stuff that the federal workers who were furloughed received.

So the house furloughing their aids actually helped them. It's a true story. Ooh, and another quick thing, too. Remember, we were talking about the Tish Hyman, the lady who called out the guy in the gym. Not only did the guy who walked into the women's locker room, not only did that guy who walked in the women's locker room, not only did he have a history of domestic abuse because he apparently beat up his ex-wife, he stole his ex-wife's name, like just co-opted her name.

and is going by her name, Alexis. That is some Norman Bates. level of creepery. Oh. Really bad.

It's bad stuff.

Now. A few other things. Yeah, we were talking about the. Let me pull this up. The socialist that is.

Ah.

Now going to be in Seattle. I mean, this is just crazy. Progressives on the edge of the mayoral race. You're going to have a socialist. This Katie Wilson.

Is the socialist who, as of yesterday, they were counting ballots. They're saying that looks I don't know if they're gonna have to have a recount or not. Uh but Sh the She was leading the mayor by over Mm, 1,300 votes, according to the latest stuff that was released yesterday. Seattle's pretty lefty. I mean, how do you keep going more and more left when you see the state of things?

Oh, we just didn't go left enough, and that's going to actually bring back prosperity and economic sanity. to the To the city, yes, can you? This is how we know that it won't stop at socialism. Where does it always go after this? Communism.

So, whenever they push back against the people who are rightfully saying socialism will become communists. It's It's silly to me because we already know they haven't stopped at this point. They're not going to stop going forward. It's going to graduate to communism. Yes.

Absolutely. And they're just getting crazier and crazier. The Democrats are getting crazier and crazier. Candidates. We were talking about the Schlossberg guy.

You see the Wiener guy out in California. They're getting. insane just crazy candidates. It's the disparity between the right and the left in terms of seriousness is going to be stunning. Just, you know, when we know.

We're going to talk more about the economic side of things with Carol Roth here coming up, but Man, it's uh Yeah. In addition to all of this, we were talking. Let me open up some of the audio here because we had some really good audio. We, uh There are these, with all the discussion that we have about the left, as you know, the right is still roiling. over Some of the uh some of the The Woke Reich stuff.

which you absolutely do. Have to be able to call out your side. This is one of the reasons why I'm focusing so much on these crazy candidates that are coming up on the left. Because that's who they are. That's who they've embraced.

They've allowed those people to hijack the Democrat Party and run with it. And now the Democrat Party is a full-on Marxist entity. which is crazy to think, full on Marxist entity. And so The as they keep going further and further left. You don't want the right to be pulled with it.

And that's one of the reasons why it's incredibly important to be able. To Use your discernment. and keep your own side focused and on the right path. And that's what all of this is. I've seen some pretty stupid things.

Of course, you know, it's all the Nick Fuenta stuff, which there's so much audio out there. It's Unbelievable the amount of audio that is out there and the people that talk about Israel. We've been talking about the Qatari funding and all of this other stuff. It's pretty crazy. And the Fuente, I don't think he's ever going to I don't think Fuentes is ever going to be in a position to have lunch with Trump again.

That's one of the reasons why people are telling you that this stuff matters. It's not just something that's a fight on the internet. I mean this dude And I don't believe that Trump knew who he was. I think that Trump's people, some of his people knew exactly who he was. I don't think Trump did.

And I hope those people were dragged for allowing that guy to even be near POTUS. much less sitting at Mar a Lago for lunch with Kanye for crying out loud. There are better ways to look to get the youth vote than to suck up to the CCP with TikTok. There are better ways to get the youth vote. You're not even trying.

If you think that you have to act like a Nazi and start hating American allies in order to get the youth vote, you are too weak to play this game. If you can't sell your message, without debasing yourself. to try and chase and and become that in order to get a part of that audience. Then you're too weak for this game. You're not smart enough to sell a message.

And there are a lot of these stupid consultants, part of the establishment on K-Street right now, who are buying into this because they can't sell freedom. They think that they've got to. And a lot of this comes down to the influencers in the digital economy. That's one of the reasons why you see some of these top-tier people not call out this stuff because they don't want to make the online. you know, edge lord's mad.

So what it is They're too scared. They're too scared to say anything about it. They don't want to have to deal with the comments. I don't give a rat's ass. They don't want to have to deal with the comments.

This is they have to have this stuff. Not everybody does. But that's what a lot of this is. I mean, this is case in point. I don't know why.

You know, let me pull this down. Just to give you an example. I hate even playing this stuff. But Audio sound by 11.

Now I want you to remember what Charlie Kirk said. Get married, have kids, raise a family. It's the cornerstone of our society, a free society. But the Fuentes crowd says this. Listen.

Well, it kind of doesn't matter if you're multiplying out in the periphery. But people don't want to hear that because they want to feel like You know, they want what they want to be the thing that is honorable. And it's like, I don't think we really need to be given any awards out because you. You know, married a woman and had kids. I mean, that used to be the expectation.

Now people want a prize. It used to just be, that just used to be the biological reality. That was just like the sociological reality. You need to get married and have 10 kids because, like, three are going to die in the winter, and you need seven to like take care of you or whatever. It's like you just had 10 kids because there was also no birth control.

Now people are like breaking an arm, Pat. They want to get a purple heart. They want to get the Medal of Honor, the Congressional Medal of Freedom. Because they went out with some You know, some average woman and have a couple of kids, and they live in some house where they're watching Disney Plus and. Because you go to the farmer's market, it's a revolutionary act.

I don't think so, Buster. Like, we need to go at the center, and that requires real dedication, real sacrifice that, yes, might involve actually not having kids for some people. You know, sounds pretty good. Has it ever crossed people's mind that in a war, young men die? Is this any different?

Did it ever cross anybody's mind that maybe you shouldn't take advice about family planning from a single Nazi twink who got caught streaming gay porn on his show by his own audience? You want to talk about crossing anybody's mind? Because that happened. Yeah, I know. The Jews didn't do it either.

That was him. Sephoyai. Just saying, throwing that out there. Uh Th y there are two roads, two ways, Western man, Charlie Kirk or that way. Seems pretty obvious.

And one of them was supremely jealous of the other. Guess who? We got more on the way. Oh, we're not even done throwing bombs. We got more on the way.

We got headlines coming up as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's the folks over at Ammo Squared. Ammo Squared, I really wish I would have come up with this business idea. You remember the panic buying of 2020, the empty shelves, the sky-high ammo prices, all that stuff.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. So Honda has recalled over 400,000 civic sedans due to wheel detachment issues. Up there. That sounds like like you mean the wheel could just go flying off? That sounds kinda Whoa, so if you drive a Civic, you might want to check your wheels.

400,000. Oh yeah, the wheel nuts could actually become loose. That's yeah, and yeah, the wheels could even fall off. Yeah, the wheels on the Civico Bum bum bum bumps! Wheels are important.

Yeah, that's Wheels are super important. They said it affects 2016 to 21 models equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels.

So check your wheels if you got a Honda Civic. Also, solar activity could send a cannibal. coronal mass ejection towards birth, yes. And then, don't they say this all the time? Are they prepping us for like an alien attack?

Feels like it. You know, that giant space turt up there. That it could be sending out some lasery stuff. just saying and then we're gonna say it's a geomagnetic storm. Maybe.

I don't know. I would really, something needs, I'm just bored with all the infighting and everything else. Like, bring us some aliens or bring us an angry sun. You know, let's do that. Like, shoot us with some space goo.

I don't care. Just make it happen. Also, a man named Pancake beat up his father. Yeah. His elderly father, according to police, a man named Pancake.

left His father with severe bruises and swelling to the eye and face. I feel like Mr. Pay, oh my gosh, is literally his name. Eric Thomas Pancake. The pancake family.

Pancake battered is dead. Mr. and Mrs. Pancake.

Son.

So Mr. Pancake Battered. The other, Mr. Pancake.

I know I'm gonna get around it. They said that Pancake also appeared drunk and loud and belligerent. And then he pled the fifth every time they tried asking him questions. But he allowed himself to be arrested, so he's booked. He posted 5,000 bonds, so he's out.

The Dana Show Podcast, your fast, funny, and informative news companion for those always on the move. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's not even a big deal. I mean, you know, you go from 40 to 50 years. And what it means is you pay something less from 30 that some people had a 40 and then now they have a 50.

All it means is you pay less per month. You pay it over a longer period of time. It's not like a big factor. It might help a little bit. But the problem was that Biden did this.

He increased the interest rates. And I have a lousy Fed person who's going to be gone in a few months. I knew he was going to say something about that. I got a lousy Fed person. That's POTUS, and he's talking about this.

50-year mortgage thing. And no, we're not all in agreement on this. I don't know why we're doing this. I just, the first thing that we thought of when we, when Kane and I talked about this, and by the way, welcome to everybody rejoining. The chats at Rumble Channel 347 is where you can go and find the simulcast of the radio program.

We're like, Wait, w w w we need to get Carol on the show. We need to bring on Carol because Carol's pretty common sense. Like, she's just no drama, straight, no chaser. She's got great hair. She probably also hates corduroy, too.

She joins us now via video. Everybody knows Carol Roth, and she's a best-selling author. Her newsletter is at CarolRoth.com/slash news. The book, You Will Own Nothing. Yeah, that seems to be what this is all leading towards.

Carol, it's so good to see you. This is kind of, I. I feel like this is sort of the same argument that everybody had when they were talking about minimum wage. Oh, well, if you really love people, you'll pay $15 an hour.

Well, why not a million? I guess we love them more than you if we want to pay a million dollars an hour. I feel like, why stop at 50? Let's just have 200-year mortgages, right? Let's just make everybody push them into this neo-feudalism.

That's what it feels like. Is that an overreaction on my part? Not at all. I saw a funny post, which I will paraphrase, but it's, you know, this mortgage has been in our family for generations, you know, instead of the house. It's absolute insanity.

You know, we have the monetizing of America, which means you don't actually own anything. And we're trying to help Americans build wealth. The reason why houses are so important, the American dream is so important, is because historically it's been the largest asset on Americans' balance sheets across demographics. They stay in their houses and they are forced by discipline to build wealth. They're forced to build equity and then they have extra money that they can then, you know, later in life use or pass on to their kids or what it is.

If you stretch things out to 50 years versus 30 years, let's say we have a $400,000 mortgage at like six and a quarter percent, you're going, and that's assuming that you could still get six and a quarter percent at 50 years, but put that aside, just Apples to apples, you are doubling the amount of interest that you're paying. And in doing so, you are delaying the building of equity.

So, this is not making housing more affordable, and it is stimulating demand.

So, if you have more people thinking they can get in, it will probably end up pushing up home prices anyway.

So we have to find a way to stimulate not the demand side here, the supply side. And there are, you know, a lot of different ways that we can do this. We could have assumable or portable mortgages as a way to unlock the people who have been locked into these three-year mortgages, saying, well, I can't go to a house even if it's the same price or maybe it's a bit higher and pay six or seven percent. That would be one way of fixing that. You know, doing things like creating incentives for home builders to build smaller footprint housing and getting some of these regulations out that make it so expensive to build a new house.

And POTUS using his platform to really shine a light on how state and local municipalities need to stop with their ridiculous regulation too, because they're weighing in on the problem. All those kinds of things can stimulate supply and actually make the houses more affordable, not just create monetization tricks that seem like, oh, I'm paying less now, but I'm actually just become. A renter to a different landlord. Yeah, a renter for however long that, you know, I mean, good heavens, and allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to get into the 50-year-old. mortgage business is Insane to me.

I mean, I feel like this is, we're all going to, I mean, we saw all this. We saw they're low, they, they're already talking about lowering criteria for home loans. We've lived through this, 07, 08, and it was disastrous. And I get that people, and I feel for them. I want my kids to be able to buy property.

But isn't it also, Carol? And we're talking with our good friend Carol Roth for those just joining us. Isn't it also true that this isn't going to fix anything so long as you have bad economic policy coming from the top down? And DC hasn't done anything to reduce spending, to cut taxes, to deregulate any further, which none of this is going to matter in the long term if they don't do any of those things. Yeah, I mean, obviously, we did get the, you know, one big, beautiful bill passed.

So we did make those tax cuts permanent.

So that's a good thing. On the deregulation front, I feel like that has been backburnered a bit. There are a lot of things that could happen that will make it easier for individuals, for small businesses that are the backbone of this economy, for ranchers, for farmers to do business, things that will really generate more growth organically on a real basis, not just inflating things with monetization. And those are the kinds of things that need to be focused on. We do have affordability issues, and I think it is important to focus on housing, but we have to do the policies, as I said, that focus on the supply and actually bring down the cost, not just create an illusion that something seems less costly, what is actually more expensive for you.

They need to solve the student loan debt crisis. I mean, this is insanity. They are taking money wholesale. Giving it from young people to college administrators, why that is not, I mean, that's the easiest thing to get the government out of this and reshape that. Because, as you know, Dana, even if you have an affordable house, if your balance sheet is filled with five and six figures of college debt, you're still not going to be able to afford it.

So, there are a lot of things that can be done to say, We hear you on affordability. The system hasn't been working. That's why President Trump was put in there with his good business mind and all these people around him. And for some reason, the messaging is just going sideways. We're getting more H-1B visas and 50-year mortgages and tariffs.

And, you know, it's like, I feel like I'm in Bizarro World. Oh, and on that H-1B visa front, that's the other big thing. He gave an interview, and I really appreciated Ingram kind of pushing back a little bit on that and saying, Yeah, well, you know, we have talented people here, which we do. I, this is. This seems like it's kind of a 180 move for him.

Am I incorrect on that? It seems because I don't remember 2016 POTUS being that supportive of H-1B visas. I mean, it's weird, right? You have somebody who's considered a populist now saying, I'm going to be in favor of H-1B visas, which I do think is, you know, all of the tech bros that are in his ears. This is something that they want, and probably a, you know, a nod to them, but it doesn't make sense.

And for me, policy always has to make sense for the time and the context. And perhaps there was a point in time, we could argue it, you know, where H-1Bs made more sense. Certainly they have been abused, but now we're in a situation, we have young people who are graduating who cannot find jobs. We have white-collar work that is being destroyed by AI. It seems to me the context right now is that we need to get more of the Americans back to work and in good paying jobs.

And going out to this H-1B pool doesn't make a lot of sense.

Now, also, H-1B is different than other types of visas. I'm a big supporter of entrepreneurs. If we have people who are entrepreneurs who have startups and businesses that they want to come to the U.S., US and build their business here and hire people here. We should be encouraging visas for that because we want more jobs. But that is not an H-1B visa.

That's a different visa. And that's the specialization. And even in the Ingram interview, he said stuff like about factory workers. Like factory workers don't come here on H-1Bs.

So I don't even understand. Yeah, that's not an H-1Bs. That's what the focus of this was. It's just, it's a messaging miss from this administration who is supposed to be pro-American, pro-Main Street. And it's just they need to tighten that up.

We want them to be entrepreneurial. They can throw ideas that don't work. We'll push back on them. But they really need to be focused on Main Street. And it just isn't sounding that way.

They think they need to make a major adjustment here. It would be great if this administration created an initiative where it's like the great American jobs come back and they. You know, really promoted making sure that our up-and-coming employees were trained in the areas that we needed them. Like they, you know, they could do like job fairs, like, and try to, you know, help kickstart that and help expedite it. I'm actually shocked that they haven't introduced anything like that because that is like a national populist idea that they could run with.

Yeah, I mean, and also they could push back on these big companies that say, hey, you should be training employees if you want great employees to work for you. That's what companies do.

So train these wonderful people that we have educated and that are young and hungry, and then you'll benefit from them, right? That's the capitalist way. We have these companies that are worth trillions of dollars in market cap that have, you know, tens of billions of dollars in cash. I don't think it's a lot to ask for them to do their own training of people here in the United States. And it also is real frustrating to me as a taxpayer, you know, especially on a local basis.

I pay so much money into the school system. If you're sitting and telling me, okay, well, the people that I'm paying all this money for are not getting any kind of relevant education, then that means that should be the focus. And we need to rethink the education and really go after the teachers' unions and figure out what's going on here so that we have people who can read and who can do math and then can grow up and get into those jobs that. That are available so we don't have to import them from other countries. Gosh, I wish, I mean, gosh, I hope something like that happens with this administration.

Before I let you go, I got to ask you about the STEMI checks. The $2,000 pre-year, there's a million things I could ask you about right now, but just because for the limitations of time.

So, this $2,000 rebate check that POTUS is talking about sending out, basically saying it's coming from our tariff revenue. Once again, and you had some really smart remarks on this, on X. This again reminds me of the stimulus that happened under the lockdown and happened with Biden also, and it didn't do anything and it actually helped drive inflation. Why are we doing this? And who even actually qualifies for this?

Yeah. Demy too, electric boogaloo. I mean, we've seen this movie before. We know how it ends. The last time we had non-emergency, quote, emergency-based stimulus was the American Rescue Plan.

It was something like $1,400. And we ended up having everybody pay $10,000 plus dollars a year in extra costs for the rest of their lives because of getting this stimulus.

So the idea of something that we all railed on and said it was a bad idea is now great because President Trump is promoting it is ridiculous.

Now, I've had people try to push back on me and say, oh, but we're not printing the money this time.

Well, folks, guess what? We're running an almost $2 trillion deficit, which means that any money that's not going to pay down that deficit is being financed at a very significant interest rate. And by the way, nobody wants to buy our long-term debt.

So they're financing it all in T-bills at the short end of the curve, which is inflationary.

So yeah, maybe it takes a little bit longer and the 2000 gets you to the same place that $1,400 did before. For, but it is all inflationary and it works ultimately to support asset holders and does not help the cost of living.

So, bad idea. We should be, if somebody in the U.S. who is a business or a consumer paid a tariff, they should get that back. We shouldn't be redistributing it around. And anything extra that's coming in, supposedly from another country, should be going towards our deficit so that we have a smaller deficit we need to finance.

I don't know why we have to keep saying these things. This seems like the most obvious thing to say, but just because the guy you like is saying it, it does not change the policy. Period. Yep. That is true.

It's Keltech. It's the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun.

Now, if you're familiar with the original KS7, I mean, they kept all of this stuff. You know, it's all of the things that you know with it. It's a smooth pump action, ultra lightweight, just under seven pounds unloaded, compact bullpup design, maneuverability in tight spaces, ambidextrous downward shell ejection, seven plus one capacity. I mean, you know, honestly, the other shotguns, sorry, you just, it's just. I mean, when you have a KS7, it's just sweet.

But the Gen 2 is packed with a lot of upgrades. You got a five-slot Picatinny style accessory rail underneath. You can add your vertical grips, lights, keep it flush and sleek with a cap, however you want to do it. And it's a smoother pump action for faster, cleaner cycling. Also has enhanced durability.

74 degrees. Okay, so. Is it really? 77. Such a jerk here.

I am rolling at some of the emails from some of y'all people that were like, I cannot believe you think 50 is cold. And then they'll email like. I guess, like the weather forecast for their area that they get on their phone and they're like, look, we're getting snow in November. Oh my gosh. I would die a million times to have snow and I don't want it.

I couldn't, I wouldn't. There's no way. I am. Nope, nope. One day, I'm going to share with you the first and last time I ever tried skiing, the story that.

If you thought it was funny when I s got into a slap fight with a chimpanzee, Or when I fought with a goat. I mean, we can keep going on and on. Oh yeah, that happened. I was bat I was feeding a turtle and this barracuda was gonna try to mess with me and I'm like.

Okay. I might be meaner than you. I mean, sure, the crowd would rip my face off, but anyway, that's a whole other story. But, yes, um. Me and Snow Don't work.

So Maybe I'll share that story tomorrow. It does involve falling all the way down a mountain. Yes, it does. Didn't Hank Williams fall off a mountain and get hurt? I think so.

I don't want to do like... I can't have what happened to Olmo Cephas fall upon me, you know. I'm going to snow. I don't want nothing to do with that. Or Sonny Bono, sitting on a ski slip.

I'm not a skier, I don't do that. I mean, I'm athletic, but I'm just like, God didn't give us these things on our feet to do this. But it did involve me literally like falling all the way down a thing and having what they call the yard sale and just flinging all my stuff everywhere, you know. It was just a mess. And I laid there for a while, and it was like a three-year-old.

I swear it was like a three-year-old, expertly snowboarded, snowboarded over to me and was like, Are you all right? It's like, just add to the humiliation, you know, just add. And I was bound and determined not to get like dragged out off the slopes.

So I had to gather all my stuff. Everybody was very nice, but oh my gosh, it's insane.

So if you like skiing, I love that for you. I love that journey for your life. Me, not for me.

So, I'll share the story another time because it's a long one. But it's worth it. It's a good one, though. I mean, we don't have slopes in Missouri, you know. We we'd have Hidden Valley, but the It's nice, you know, I think it's about as yeah, but it's got to snow for it to matter.

Art Hill with the snow is ridiculous. All right, today in Stupidity, I robbed you yesterday. All right. Yeah, for the late. Cut eight, Juan.

I think. Chicago's mayor, just mispronounced least safest, but listen to this. Approach that, look, the safest communities in America, they all have one thing in common. They invest in people. When a child is hungry, you don't say, hey, look, would you like to meet the commander of the 15th police?

Sorry, but community policing is actually effective. And no, government programs don't make the safest communities. I'm not sure where he's coming from. Why didn't he just volunteer to make the kid a sandwich in his own kitchen and bring him a sandwich? Like, what's, I don't get it.

I don't even care. I'd have the government do it. I can't do it myself. That does it for us today, folks. Make sure you follow us on YouTube, Facebook, like, and subscribe.
