She was challenging young men. And young men coming. Coming back to the Republican Party, thanks to Donald Trump, by the millions coming back because what they see on the left, it's scary. It's not America, it's nothing for them to be proud of. It was Cut Five, Steve Nicky Minaj talking to thousands of Americans.
Oh, that was Cut Five. That's another reason she became. Famous of late and has been looked at by conservatives is her defense of Christians in Africa. That was cut five. Let me play cut four first, which was her challenge to young men in our nation.
Go ahead, cut four. And what do you think about for young men? For young men. And for young men, don't be new scum. I referenced Governor Good here, Gavin.
Newsum, or as President Trump calls them, nooskum. Be courageous, stand up for principle, stand up for truth. As I mentioned to you, the reason Nikki Minaj hit my radar here on the news, I you know, I have nothing bad to say about her, her music, what her her art, whatever she does. But She came out and she was trending on Twitter a couple of months ago, two, three months ago, because.
Well, what you and I go through in this country The criticism, the hate that is real, whether it's directed people writing at you or Encountering you in the streets, like some people that stand up for truth and liberty in America and America first, they'll be roundly criticized. and ostracized for what they believe in. Men are I can't even call it suffering. Ugh. Oh.
What we go through is does not compare at all as Christians. We have a very soft Tepid, weak. I'm sad to say this: that we have a very weak and tepid form of Christianity in this country because it really has not been battle-hardened, battle-tested, gone through a fire. the refining, purifying fire of controversy and persecution like the one that's being suffered. In Africa, right now.
Nikki Minaj went online and was defending. Um Christians that are being persecuted. And she got a roaring applause for defending Christianity. That was cut five. Let's see what she had to say on the name.
Receive that, bullies. We won't be silenced. Ever again. We will speak up for Christians wherever they are in this world. Amen!
That was a surprise to have her at that convention this past week because she represents a culture that normally. It's identified with A counterculture idea is not necessarily defensive. Freedom, defense of liberty, defense of conservative values. Good for her, good for Nikki Minas for participating in Turning Point USA the big convention this past weekend.

Because the only reason you're the vice president is because the current president tried to have his last president killed. Let's talk about qualifications. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Baby, thank you, Democrats.
Baby, thank you for the gift that you've served up in the state of Texas to pretty much allow A Republican, any Republican, as upset as some folks on the Oh. Very right of center persuasion might be in the Republican Party in the primary. Even John Corner, anyone, everyone can take out. Jasmine Crockett.
Now, this is not to say She's not intelligent. Believe me, she knows what she's doing. I think all this is just a. A resume line. We're going to run the Yeah.
Run the campaign. L lose. By ridiculous numbers. Write a book. Get a gig somewhere in media.
That's usually. What some of these political operatives do. Her congressional seat has been written out by Republicans in Texas. A little bit more on that in a little bit. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and you're listening to the Dana Show coming at you from South Texas, as I refer to our studio here in South Texas, Talk Radio in South Texas, the real South Texas, deep South Texas, way south of San Antonio.
It's the RGV of Texas. This is her Southern Command. It's an honor to be with you again today. Jasmine Crockett, the gift that just keeps on giving, and this congratulations. Congressional midterm.
Is going to be so fun. It's going to be chock full of audio cuts, audio clips that are very entertaining because. Jasmine Crockett, and you've heard Dana, you've heard anyone who's been paying attention to what's taking place with this Jasmine Crockett young lady. Uh sh she's not Ugh. She doesn't have, how do you say, street cred.
She's not down for the struggle. She's not a hood red. See, it seems It's all an act that she puts on. Very well educated. Very well thinnest.
had a a a very Um Compared to many other kids, I'd say more of an upscale upbringing. Went to prestigious schools. She did okay. She was a preppy. They She did real good in school.
This this whole act that she goes through, the you know, sounding like she's Got street cred and And she sounds like a street persona. It's all an act.
Now, in that initial cut, he was talking about. And about JD Vance. And making reference to Mike Pence and Jay Six, and everybody hang Mike Pence, and they try to kill him, and that's the only reason he's the vice president now. At Don't believe, no one believes what comes out of her mouth. It's cut to Steve, J.D.
Vance going after Jasmine Crockett. It's just an act from this woman. Go ahead, Steve. Oh, Jasmine Crockett. The record speaks for itself.
She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails. Yeah, it's entertaining though. I'll grant you that much. It's entertaining. It's embarrassing, though.
What I think part of what's really embarrassing How some, and sadly it seems the majority, in the black culture in our country. That's how they prefer. That they be identified. This this street culture, this Gun culture, this gang culture, this culture that, you know, with a clothing, you know, pants halfway down, all this crazy stuff. It's like you gotta lower the standard more and more.
It's really sad because they are children of America. They're part of American I would hope and pray that especially in the religious communities pastors and bishops and all these religious leaders. I I I really don't understand why you guys are still In the Democratic Party. I do not understand what everything is satanic that is being spewed by the leadership of the National Democratic Party, what they advocate for. genital mutilation of children.
The injections that suppress the hormones of children, all this crazy. Transgender surgery and castration shots that they advocate for. The lunacy of open borders that they advocate for. And that's and And of course, the standard argument against you guys supporting this on the Christian side, the pastors, the bishops, how can you defend? A party that so openly, unapologetically, without any shame.
Without blink in an eye, they The the killing. of human beings, the the unborn it's it's it's Amazing. Um, you know, she's she's gonna get trials.
So you're going to lose big. It'll be very entertaining all the way to Election Day. I'm beyond convinced I don't see any scenario whatsoever. And this is the champion that will. I'm fine with it.
Let the Democrats from California, the Democrats from other parts of the nation dump all their. all their money into that failed campaign. What they're doing is financing Her next career, which will likely be, I don't know, maybe take a seat. With those cackling crazies. on on the voo Love you.
Or some other leftist talk should just join or may have her own platform. I mean, she could probably monetize. her own platform, her own podcast, and pick up millions of followers at You know, she'll be b making millions of dollars off of that as well. To love America. Thankfully, because In my opinion, yes, God protected, God saved Donald Trump.
Whether he says he's a Christian or not, I do believe that God Almighty is using him for his purpose to help bring our nation back and to answer prayers of millions upon millions of people who have prayed for America to save America. To bring it back from the brink, take it America out of the ditch culturally. Morally To rule the markets, liberty, to rule the markets for capital, for prosperity, for America, first mindset at every strata. in our nation, from immigration policy to trade policy, everything else. The Love America is in style again.
So there was this reported big surprise. This past weekend the gang at Turning Point USA, which by the way, Yeah. Four of them. The efforts by darkness itself So To kill Turning Point USA. This amazing.

We need to get back to The the principles, the ideas, the truths that make America great. And it's all liberty-based, like I've said for the longest time.
That is our unifying culture: black, white, yellow, brown, whatever color, polka dot. It is our unifying culture in this country. It's a culture of liberty. And Charlie Kirk. He was a voice used by heaven, in my opinion.
The forces of darkness thought that they could silence him, and now we have a thousand-fold increase in chapters. I hope that. I hope that you, your kids at your school, Or setting a turning point USA chapter at your school to have these conversations about foundational principles and truths in our nation. And I do hope That You can challenge your congregation, challenge your church, because I believe that there needs to be a revolution within the four walls of. thousands of churches in the landscape.
Yeah. the Black Robe Regimen, individuals who can stand At the pulpit can stand. at the altar. and provide sound doctrine and truth, not the Person or human or individual-centered, so-called gospel, but one that points. To the cross, to the sacrifice he made, and it is expected from us as well.
And the service that we're supposed to provide, the community, we delegated a long time ago. the work of benevolence and charity. To federal agencies and the government who will not be judged, who will not be scrutinized for whatever they did while on earth. No, it is the body. Rewards programs are a lot like pop culture.

mid-section of the south and even here in Texas only. Eric, maybe New Year's Week we can cool things down a little bit.
Okay, some of the headlines. I see the Department of Homeland Security. is increasing its exit bonus. for illegals.
so that they can self-deport by the end of this year.
So Christy Noam. Uh DHS Barraby. Our secretary was in the news today announcing, wow. A three thousand dollar stipend today. What was it like a thousand bucks not that long ago?
Wow Where's she getting that money from? Three thousand dollars for migrants, air quotes, now illegals. to go ahead and just leave the country. I ran the numbers on that. You know, on minimum wage, it's about $1,300 monthly, just a little shy of $1,300.
So you got two and a half months' worth. At minimum wage, To leave the country. Almost three months' worth, because they don't get paid minimum wage, people. You know that, right? It's like slave labor.
These people that are migrants or illegals. Uh it's written the illegals. Will get paid at like half of that. But these migrants who have work papers, yeah, they get paid at least minimum wage. Let's see.
The Fed's also reporting the cat they're catching more drugs on the U.S.-Mexican border. I got some ports here in Texas. They're reporting over a 60% increase in catching drugs this fiscal year. Compared to the previous year, because, well, they don't have as many illegals as the cats now, so they can on some of the illegal drug shit that's coming in. Let's hear Trump administration suspending the leases for multiple wind energy on the East Coast.
The Interior Secretary. Doug Bergham confirming the suspension online, saying it's for national security reasons. The Interior Department saying that these radar, that they interfere with radar. They call it clutter. It interferes.
These turbines create the clutter on radar. And Barry Manilow is revealing that he's battling lung cancer. Oh man. I guess I'm gonna have to get a refund for My brother sugar cane, producer Cain. I had much of some tickets, buddy, but he's going to have to cancel.
This is the Dana show. Crawford says her contract with Roar Bus came to a halt on February 1st after she put up this sign, which read, out of respect to English-only students, there will be no speaking Spanish on this bus. I didn't mean to be racially insensitive or anything like that. Crawford claims she never got to explain that the sign was put up to encourage safe and respectful behaviors and was directed at a bilingual student who allegedly had a history of riling up other students. I didn't know if he was bullying somebody.
Telling them to do something they sh they shouldn't do. How do you keep control of your bus if you have? No control. For some of y'all Women who go to some of these nail salons. And maybe you all are liberal women tuning in to the Danish appreciate you tuning in.
But some of these places are owned by folks who might be from Vietnam or some other place like that. They communicate with each other, right? You know what I'm talking about. I don't mean to be stereotypical, that's just the reality. Don't you find it rude when you don't understand what they're saying?
And maybe if you had like a little iPhone translator in your ear, you could hear maybe they're talking about you. It's just don't, it's rude. It's rude. Welcome to the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and reporting to you from her Southern Command, the affiliate KURV here in South Texas.
And it's an honor to be with you. Yeah. English English should be, in my opinion. the official language of our nation. And at a time when we have Donald Trump, I think we need to spark that debate.
And I say this to you. As someone who is completely fluent. and Español. Reading. Righted.
Even make money from it. you know announcements on you know, so books and commercials and Maybe MC, things like that. I am completely, not only functionally, but completely fluent in Spanish. Because when I was growing up, and this is a choice that my parents made, and I'm grateful for it. I can't say the same about my kids because I have not provided them that gift.
I have to teach them. Uh bit by bit. But we spoke Spanish at home. And in the community, spoke English. Spoke English.
And that's how my dad learned. to be very functional. with his English in the little scaffold build business. That he had for many, many years. He got by.
He didn't, he didn't. I didn't speak like a. English. When my dad finally got the call to green card and do this business thing with his brother in San Antonio trucking thing, and eventually worked as quickly as possible after waiting 10 years. To get us that door to legally come to this country and invest and educate ourselves.
And be part of it, yeah. It it took a while. He paid his dues to get here. Controlled migration for the benefit of our country, setting up a business, doing something that contributes to our nation. When I was 10 years old, I didn't speak a single word of English, and I had to learn real, real quick.
But English Is the language of commerce. English is the language of the markets. English is the language of naval directions for ships, for. For air traffic control. It's not in the b Only you guys on the left, you crazy leftist white people, you guys that are bleeding hearts, you guys hate yourself, you hate your country, you hate your culture, stop it already.
Mm. In my opinion, I don't think the destruction of this nation is going to be some of these immigrants that come over here.
Well, yes, the fact that they don't assimilate is a big problem. We need migration. That puts folks on a path to assimilation. And an understanding of the values that they seek to benefit from, that are liberty-based, capitalism-based in this country. We need to do that.
It's easier for Immigrants For them to assimilate, they do it so much faster than these leftists. White people, these crazy white people who hate themselves, hate their country. I think the destruction of our country are all these millions of white people who hate themselves, hate their white culture. Hate their language. That's just wrong.
English should be. The language of our nation. I'm surprised that up to this date, it's still not classified.
Now, I'm surprised that President Trump hasn't said much about this. It's time that we have that national debate. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
