Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Mad She Got Exposed.

Democrats lose two key court cases on redistricting and start talking about massive judicial reforms and kicking everyone off the Virginia Supreme Court. Glad they didn't overreact. More and more illegals are giving up their asylum claims and self-deporting. And 42% of Democrats think Trump staged the assassination attempt where he actually got shot.

Some people are not well. I'm Greg Coromas inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. We'll give you the top news, some good laughs, and we'll be done in 30 minutes. Follow the 3Martini Lunch on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the program.

Here's what's interesting about Just being on Twitter and politics and things like that. I um Found it interesting. Because I saw this back and forth. This conversation. Why are you over there laughing?

I saw this conversation yesterday as it relates to him pulling up my file, because you know I keep files on everybody. As it relates to Iran and going back and forth, I can't even remember who was all arguing. And I don't really want to know. I'm not interested, and I really don't want to know. But there were people arguing, and Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of them.

And She apparently was getting into it with some podcaster. And they were having a heck of a time. And I was reading the conversations, and Green was accusing all of these people of taking money. I didn't even really, I didn't even quote tweet it either. is the thing.

You know what I mean? Like I, it was a fight that she was having with a podcaster. And she was calling different people lying scumbags, and everybody's getting paid to criticize her. And because that's usually what it is. If you criticize Marjorie Taylor Greene, she assumes that you must be getting paid to criticize her, right?

Because that's not a leftist mindset at all. And all I said. was and I just replied to her. I said and by the way the community note is stupid because it omits a whole bunch of stuff but we'll talk about that. I said I think it's funny how you accuse everyone else of taking money but you never explain how your personal net worth exploded specifically while you were in Congress.

Well, I guess someone didn't get their HRT that day because she just lost her mind. I mean, she just straight up lost her ever-loving mind. The flip-flops is off, ladies and gentlemen. Which, by the way, I'm sorry, but my family's more redneck than your family, so don't try that with me, okay? You're a Nepo baby that was handed a construction company and you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth.

So stop the whole Jasmine Crockett hood appropriation, okay?

So that being said. She decided, I didn't even, can I be honest? I didn't even read her full post. She lost her mind. She crashed out over me this morning, as the kids say, lost her mind.

She was saying that today's Lewin for. Should I read it? Yeah, Lux.

Okay. You got it on screen?

Okay, perfect. She said, quote, Today's low information lies brought to you by Dana Lash. It's called Construction, Dana. Ever hear of it? I'm part owner in my family's construction company, the same company my father started, the same company that's put a roof over my head and food on my table my entire life.

I'm just. Yeah. That was cap's lock. Contrary to widespread internet lore, I was successful well before Congress.

So much so, I was able to loan my first campaign a million dollars to run for Congress. And I had to because Dana Lash's favorite Republicans, and APAC, got to get the Jews in there. And APAC did not like me. I mean, full stop. Is it a Marjorie Trailer Green post if you don't go after the Jews in some way?

I'm just wondering. She threw APAC in there as like a dog whistle to all of the other inbred woke Rikers so they can all get out of their interfamily orgy and wake up and go, wait a minute, we got to run to X and defend Marjorie Trailer Green.

So anyway. Was that harsh? Because I haven't even begun. Oh boy. Caribbean.

I'll continue. She says, I was so offended by the government debt and all, gosh, this is so boring. I ran my business the way government ran, I'd be out of business and my family would be homeless. And that statement is so true. And blah, blah, blah.

Her record, which is actually not that conservative. She goes, add Dana List to the list of people who parrot con ink lies. Pathetic. Mm-hmm. I've never parroted a con ink lie, and I've been conservative even longer than Marjorie Trailer Green was screwing around on her husband.

Hmm, crazy that.

So she never answered my question though. By the way, how is being handed daddy's company part of the drain? That's so very Hunter Biden. Right? Look at all I accomplished.

Your dad literally handed you a company. That actually, according to let's look at our files, shall we? I mean, according to everything that we have, it's not worth what she's worth now. The valuation, the math isn't mathing, Margie. The math isn't mathy, very difficult.

But here's the thing, her st because before she went into Congress, she wasn't poor by any stretch, but there's a difference between being not poor and being worth $25 plus million dollars that you accumulated in the matter of like a few years. And it's just really crazy that her trading just took off right when she got into Congress, Kane. That's not me saying it. It's every single metric that you use to measure trading by members of Congress that has ever been invented publicly available on the Internet that's saying it. Crazy how the internet works with all this public information out there.

You know, people can just go and like read it. It's crazy. Just asking questions, Marge.

So The whole story with this, and she did. I mean, I think it's fair to say she got her construction company because she was given a share of the construction company. Let's be honest about it. Taylor Commercial Inc., a Georgia-based general contracting company founded by her father in 2002. She and her husband purchased the company and that said she owned a 51% stake.

They deal with commercial construction and renovation, etc. She was considered the CFO from 07 to 2011, et cetera. And they had a lot of projects that they did, that's for sure. But again, I'm talking about her trading specifically when she was in Congress. And she keeps trying to conflate all of this with what she was given.

These are two entirely different things. And by the way, I have to ask: you know, if it's true that your company was so successful, why did you feel the need to take a PPP loan? I mean, a six-figure PPP loan. And that's according to every available public record that's again on this crazy thing called the internet.

So it was given to her. You know, they were saying this was all about covering payroll costs, everything during COVID.

So I'm just curious: why did you take a PPP loan? If it, you know, we all have questions. The company, and here's the thing: the congressional disclosures, they value the company, it's all over the place. And why is it all over the place? Because it's not a publicly traded company, it's a private company.

So they don't have to tell you everything. I mean, that's how this stuff works. But the bottom line is that. Again, that's separate from the issue of how much money she made when she was trading in Congress. And you know, you had her revenue.

I think they said, like at one point, one year, the company generated revenue between 3.7 to 6 million. You all know how companies work. That's not the total gross that you're taking home, et cetera, et cetera. But The insider trading That's her personal stock market portfolio that's separate from the construction company herself. And her personal stock portfolio jumped 476% during her congressional tenure.

You don't, again, have to take my word for it. You can take literally every available metric that measures this stuff that's online on a thing called the internet.

So 476% jumped specifically during her time in Congress. Why was she? I mean, why run a company when you can just trade stocks and make fat bank on it? It's weird how she just got really good right when she got into Congress, right? And now you can say, well, maybe she hired someone to do all of this stuff for her.

Yes, but if that were the case, then why does it seem that, well, not seem, but why is it? that all of the stuff that the trades that she was making, et cetera, like immediately happened before moves by the White House with different companies and in different markets. And again, I'm just asking questions about this. It's just, you know, a simple question. And we've got everything from, I mean, I'm happy to put all of this in a giant post and link everything that I have in my big giant file on this for you if you would like.

I'll totally do that today.

So watch Substack for that. But I'm curious because, again, 476% like jump going from $630,000 to anywhere from like, you know, I mean, to where you are now, that's pretty crazy. That's a pretty significant jump. And it can't be, it's the timing of it, is the question. That's the crazy thing.

It's the timing of all of it. Again, the math isn't mathing with us. You have to I mean and for instance She was talking about tariffs on 4.7, on 4.8. She disclosed, you have to by law, a dozen stock purchases, hundreds of thousands of numerous stocks when the market was deeply red. And then the tariffs were paused and all of her stuff just exploded and went up.

That's really weird that she made those moves like a couple of days before the tariffs were paused, and then all her stocks gained. Huh. Huh. Wow. I mean, you could say, well, Dana, she just hired someone to do all of that for her.

Really, that's really good timing, though. Right before those tariffs were paused. which affected the market. I mean, you know Maybe, and apparently that happened with every single one of her trades. Kane, what are the chances?

I mean, we're just asking questions. What are the chances? Just curious.

So I'll continue. I can, I'm, by the way, she's more than welcome to come on, and I'll spend the whole rest of the two hours about it if she would like to. It's up to her.

So let's continue.

So the insider trading in Congress, as we said, 476% explosion during her specific time in Congress, ballooning from an estimated $630,000 in 2020, going all the way up to millions of dollars. In 2024, her trading significantly beat the market, ranking her as the 23rd best performing trader in Congress with a 30.2% annual return compared to the SP 500's 24.9%. Trading volume and frequency: between 2021 and late 2025, she executed over 550 total stock trades, buying 3.89 million in equities in 2024 alone. In 2025, her trades exhibited a hedge fund like 74%, almost 75% win rate, 161 out of 216 total transactions, turning a profit. Huh.

So her net worth, and this is what was liquid, $700,000 to over $25 million in office.

Now, we're not including the construction company in all of this stuff. She's trying to say that her construction company is part of this. We're specifically looking at the publicly available data that's on publicly accessible websites that specifically monitor congressional trading.

So let's not conflate figures.

So she was now she already had a lot of money before she went definitely more than all of us for someone who cosplays as redneck. She, before she took office, she had again the stake in her family's construction business, Taylor Commercial Inc. She had some real estate holdings that she used as Airbnbs. I was looking through all of that this morning. But her broader net worth rose to about 25 million by 2026.

And this is, we're talking about the specific wealth that was generated from her active stock market trading that looked and you know that was making millions in gains, right? The Washington Times had a really good editorial on all of this too, that I'll make sure to include in the post. But she, I mean, it's, It begs the question that she got rich and took the money and run. I mean, it's what it seems like, doesn't it? Again, we're just asking questions.

So I'm, I mean, when your annual salary is $174,000 and The valuation of your company isn't mathing with the amount that you're earning by trading stocks while you're in Congress and you're trying to conflate everything to, I guess, throw people. Again, the math isn't mathing with us. Oh, our partners that help bring you the program, ladies and gentlemen, is our friends over at Preborn. This is such a great organization that does so much. They saved over 80,000 babies last year.

Now, they are determined to continue helping as many babies as possible this May.

So they've extended their Mother's Day goal until the end of May, and you can help them reach that goal. They want to provide ultrasounds to women.

So when a woman who is facing an unplanned pregnancy hears an ultrasound, multiple independent studies have shown that that baby's chance at life doubles when the mom hears the heartbeat. You know how much an ultrasound is for them to provide it? For the tech, $28. That's it. That's like the, I can't even, that's the cost of saving a life, $28.

And a mother hears her baby's heartbeat because of your generosity and chooses life. You got to remember what these women are up against. They're told by society that they're too stupid and weak to raise babies and pre-born empowers them. Pre-born doesn't just stop there. They walk with them.

For the first two years of this journey, they walk with them to make sure that they have everything that they need so that they can get off on the right foot and have a firm foundation. This is not early learning center money. It's all privately funded. It's all from generous stewards of their fellow man like you. And if you or your company feel called to help, a $2,800 donation can provide 100 ultrasounds.

You can save, potentially save 100 babies' lives. A $5,000 donation can purchase a whole ultrasound machine for a clinic. Imagine how many babies that saves for years to come. Join the pro-life mission. And pre-born stands as the gospel leader of the pro-life movement.

So in 2025, not only did they save over 80,000 babies, but they also brought 10,000 women to Christ, which is a great. Great legacy. All gifts are tax-deductible. Pre-born is a four-star charity rating, so you can give confidently.

Now, we are just 600 donations of $28 away from reaching that Mother's Day goal before the end of May. You all made it happen last year. I know you can do it again this year. Visit preborn.com/slash Dana and donate in honor of your mother this Mother's Day, even your father for coming up for Father's Day. Dial pound250 and say the word baby.

Easy way to donate. Preborn.com/slash Dana or dial pound250 and say the word baby. Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial. You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild.

But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn't just stay in one lane. It spreads.

So even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud.

Go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, or don't, but at least don't pretend this isn't happening. Lots of places can expose you to identity theft. That's why LifeLock monitors hundreds of millions of data points a second for threats to your identity, which is way more than anyone can do on their own.

Visit lifelock.com/slash iHeart. Terms apply. This is a crazy story that happened yesterday. And if you are a subscriber over at Substack, then you have this story. The son of Senator Rand Paul, William Paul.

He got into this, I guess, a drunken argument with Congressman Mike Lawler at a bar in D.C. And I've said before, and I feel like, I don't know why, I feel like I have to disclose this, but I'm not really a fan of Mike Lawler. I've criticized him on the show before over his previous positions. I thought he was kind of weak on guns, a couple of other things.

So I haven't been a fan. I've been highly pretty critical of him before.

So, and I like Senator Rand Paul, who requests to come on our show quite frequently, right?

So yesterday. Apparently Senator Paul's son, William Paul, Again, like I said, got into this drunken tirade at Mike Lawler at this bar, and he called him a Jew and was accusing him of, you know, your people. And the way that the conversation went, and by the way, this happened in full view of congressional reporters, which is probably one of the dumbest things I can ever imagine. You have to assume everybody in any bar in DC is a reporter.

So don't act like an A double snakes when you're out in public, just create problems for yourself.

So his son Uh, apparently, according to witnesses, got into it with Lawler, he was being drunk and belligerent. He starts going off on if Massey, Congressman Thomas Massey out of Kentucky, if he loses his primary, it's because of, quote, my people, is what he told Lawler. And Lawler was confused and goes, What do you mean, my people? And that's when Paul said, Jews. And Lawler counter, do you think I'm Jewish?

I'm Irish Italian Catholic, buddy. Like, what are you talking about? And then apparently Paul reportedly said, wait, you're not Jewish? And Lawler said, Well, even if I was, what's the problem? And then Paul started going off about the Middle East, about us trying to steal Iran's land for the Jews, steal the West Bank.

And Lawlers, the whole time, is over there, like, what in the ever-loving blank are you? What is this? And then apparently, Paul said, This war, it's all about the gays and the Jews. I hate them both, and I don't care if they die. That's what he's accused of saying.

And it was apparently overheard by reporters in Lawler. And uh. And then apparently, Paul started accusing this mega donor. Billionaire Paul Singer, who is an American citizen of quote, doing Israel's bidding. And that was based on this Restore Freedom Pack.

It's a pro-Massey super PAC that was running ads in Kentucky about the alphabet mafia. And then they had a picture of Singer. with a uh big old rainbow star of David behind him. I don't know. And then Paul went on to tell Lawler that he, quote, needs to watch more Tucker Carlson, etc.

And then he tripped over a barstool, flipped him off, and left.

Sounds the right thing. Yeah. So Paul later posted to X, quote, Last night, I had too much to drink and said some things that don't represent who I really am. I'm sorry, and today I'm seeking help for my drinking problem.

Okay. Alcohol lowers one's inhibitions. But it doesn't turn. Normal previously non Bigoted. You know, anti-Semites into raging anti-Semitic loons who scream invectives in a bar and repeat woke-reich slop.

Okay. Just in the same way that inverting your wang doesn't make you a woman. That's not what alcohol does. Alcohol isn't a magical potion, it is a mirror. And I don't think alcohol is to blame here.

Now, maybe it was when he got his DUI charge. Uh oh. Yeah, that happened. I'm just saying, the dude's got a history. In 2013, he was charged for assaulting a flight attendant, and in 2015, he was charged with a DUI.

So it's not his first brush with the law or things like that.

So If he's going to treatment for his drinking problem, which he very may very well have, and I hope he gets help for that. What about the other problems that are here? namely the apparent low IQ and the raging bigotry. And I am not one. Look, I'm not, and I'm not going to allow the woke Reich to borrow the left's language, right?

The woke Reich thinks that everybody they don't like is Jewish, much in the same way that the left thinks that everybody they don't like is a fascist. They're literally the same people. They are the same people. That's why we say woke Reich. This all happened because when we created the coalition.

There were people that came into the coalition that weren't really on that same constitutionalist, conservative page. And they decided to play the game of identity politics, which is a Marxist theory.

So, buying into this woke-Reich nonsense is literally buying into the Marxist school, the Frankfurt School of CRT. I've been talking about this since 2012. Introduced in college campuses by Barack Obama's mentor, Derek Bell. Critical race theory from which DEI descends the whole nine yards. This is part of it.

If you're playing identity politics, you're playing the Marxist CRT, DEI game. It's exactly what this is because you're holding up. Uh Identity politic variables as being priorities. And by playing that game, that's a leftist tactic. Here's my thought though.

So this dude, I mean He Again, I hope he gets the help that he needs, but it's more than just alcohol. Clearly. Taxpayers don't owe a drunk anti-Semitic congressional staffer. Any of our dollars for his salary.

Now, I don't know if he still works as a congressional staffer, but he did up until very recently. He's worked for various think tanks and different members of Congress. What's really confusing is how somebody whose dad. was made A victim by zealotry? Could turn into an antagonist of the exact same sort.

That's what's so weird about this. If you remember, in 2017, William Paul's father was tackled. I mean, tackled. In fact, during court, they had one of the medical experts say that the force with which he was tackled. was similar to that of being hit at 25 miles per hour.

He was tackled by his crazy far-left neighbor. who was all over social media. Espousing the same Democrat rhetoric about Republicans as all the far left groups. He reposted all these far-left groups, and then after the attack, he deactivated his social media accounts. But Paul was then hospitalized, Senator Paul.

He had six broken ribs, bruised lungs, and he had to have surgery to remove part of his lung that was damaged in the attack. And his neighbour. Rene Boucher had ranted about the far left stuff. He's been registered as a Democrat since 1998.

So Paul's son sounds like his neighbor. That's and I find that sad.

Now, in a very ironically non-libertarian turn of events, he's also a giant Nepo baby. I have a major problem with this that extends far beyond that setup. Because it's like so many people in politics do this. And I hate the idea of dynasties because it just makes my American DNA sick. But He's, I mean, from what I've been able to see, he's only ever worked in the public sector.

Either with different Republican activist groups or lawmakers. And you can't tell me that he didn't get any of these roles because of his last name.

So he needs help with both alcohol and his heart. very clearly. And I really do hope that he gets it. But, like I said, anti-Semitism is one of the original forms of identity politics.

So instead of black, it's Jewish. Instead of, you know, you see all that, like the intersectionality, how sometimes we joke about, well, if you are, if you take like a regular trans person and a one-arm trans person, that one-armed trans person beats that trans person because they got one extra box to check. That's all. That's all identity politics. That's all it is.

It's the same leftist formula that prioritizes an identity variable. ahead of all else. And honestly, for some on the right, it supplants their claimed Christian identity by betraying Christ with this ungodly leftist behavior, like screaming about Jews in a DC bar. It's crazy. Now I will say, Senator Paul, we've always had a good relationship with him.

And I don't think that you, you know, at some point, at some point, I feel like when kids are little, parents are responsible for them. But when you're talking about like a mid-30, I think he's in his mid-30s.

Okay, he's a grown person. He has had his own life experiences and can make his own choices. And, you know, Senator Paul, he asked to join the program frequently, and he's always welcome to join and come and talk about, you know, the issues of the day, the stuff that's happening in DC. Although, after today and after the sub stack, he may not he may choose to not do that again as like a penalty for talking about it. But I don't think, like I said, I don't think he owes a statement on this because he's, you know, this is a grown man that's his kid.

His son's in his 30s. He's a grown adult. I don't bear the senator any ill will at all. And I've always appreciated his voting record, but I'm going to tell you something, and I'll stress this as I've told everybody before. I am not.

Going to avoid discussing issues either online or on this program. in the hope of retaining guests. I have never operated that way. I will never operate that way. I do not play the game of butt kiss.

I don't do it. I am incredibly transparent, and I do not play gotcha games with my guests.

So You know, that's just the way it is. I work in the business of discussing news and discussing the issues of the day, and I can't, no one's asked me to not do it. From his side, but I'm just saying, you know, it would be a shame if he didn't want to come on and talk about the issues because of this. I mean, you know, it's a shame that William Paul chose to do this. And now it's, you know, an unfortunate topic of discussion.

And it's probably going to do more to hurt his friends. campaign than help. It's unfortunate. But the thing, I want to go back to one thing that was posted in here. Because he discussed You need to listen to more Tucker Carlson.

So remember how I told you that? All of this stuff. That the woke Reich does and says it seems to be online, and everything's online until it isn't.

Now you see why we talk about this. Because it's not just online. This is a person who's staffing for members of Congress. I just find that, and apparently had no problem losing his mind in front of congressional reporters. And if you're in DC that long, Working for different congressional members, you know who's a reporter and who isn't.

You know who's at the bar, who's a reporter and who's not.

So it's just very unfortunate. And I do hope that he gets help. But we're not going to sit here and brush away the remarks he said about, oh, well, you're a Jew, you're people, and all your, you know, all these people can die. That doesn't have anything to do with alcohol. That's a heart issue.

So I want to know, and I feel like he owes the public an explanation considering he was a taxpayer. uh staffer taxpayer funded staffer What are you going to do about that?

Uh Xi Jinping warned Trump that if Taiwan was mishandled and that the US and China could clash or come into conflict. And at one point, He had said, and I think this was part of like his opening remarks. And he had said, can China and the US He says the world has come to a new crossroads, is the direct quote. He said, Can China and the US overcome the Thucydides trap and create a new paradigm. And I think that was like his first Like their first opening remarks, because that was like right after they sat across from each other at the Chexnuts Great Hall of the People.

When you have a hall name that, it's definitely not. And Tanaman Square. And the Thucydides trap.

So he's talking about the, it's like this political science, whatever term. And it's talking about the history of Athens versus Sparta. And you have. It's basically about the danger that can take place when an established power fears a rising power or feels threatened by a rising power. And that's the Thucydides Trat.

That's what they're talking about. But that only makes sense if it's a legitimately rising power.

So Xi Jinping begged the question. Because he's assuming that the conclusion is Valid based off of a valid premise. But the premise is that China is a rising power multipolarity. That's what this is. He's asserting that, well, China, he's asserting the Dugan multipolar argument that China is a rising power in its own right, in its own sphere.

That's exactly what he's asserting here.

Now, I don't know what Trump's response was to this. All the reports said was that he was, quote, seemingly unphased. And My first thought was, now don't get mad at me, my first thought was, dear God, does he know what that means? I really did think that. I'm not going to lie.

You guys know. And it doesn't really matter. It's all pomp and circumstance. Because the point is that I would think if Trump does not know what the Thucydides trap is, that's lesser of a concern than Xi Jinping thinking that China is in any way competitive with the United States, which I think would be a more embarrassing misstep. Their economy is in shambles.

Uh basically it's limping along. Because of fuzzy math. And they've already been outmaneuvered everywhere.

So he immediately comes in with big balls. Like he tries to do that. And Trump is just kind of unfazed by it. Trump outmaneuvered him in Venezuela. First, well, let me start in the beginning.

Trump outmaneuvered him at Panama Canal. That was the first, one of the first things he did was send Rubio down there after his election to deal with that because China was trying to outmaneuver us with the Panama Canal, outmaneuvered them with Venezuela, outmaneuvered them with the Strait of Hormuz.

So now China relies on us essentially to deal with it and keep things open because they get a significant portion of their crude, of their oil from that. They get the dirty or the thick stuff, the thick stuff that comes from that shelf off the coast of Venezuela from Venezuela, and they get the rest from Iran.

So there's that, there's the issue with Taiwan, but he really came into it filling himself. as my grandmother, God rest her soul, would say, Oh, he's real not feeling. Again, this is, you know, you got Ozark's Twang. filling himself. Right.

Can, you know, filling himself.

So Can I do a sidebar real quick? Sure. On like Instagram, my algorithm thinks, I think my algorithm thinks that I'm a Southern man. Because it shows me Uh, I happen to like watch one Nerf gun build that like fires, I can't even remember how many rounds per second. It's crazy, and after that, it shows me all these gun builds, which I'm not complaining, um, cars.

Workout stuff, and then this dude named Landon, who's a comedian, and he explores southern Sains. And I'm going to get back to this, but can I just ask you guys this? I did not realize this was not a common saying. How many of you grew up hearing Uh we're gonna make you a pallet in the floor. How many in the chat?

heard about that. Or we're going to make you a pallet in the floor, Kane? Out in the Oh my gosh, you don't know that. Oh, wow. My husband didn't either.

We've been married 25 years and we were sitting at the dinner table and I mentioned this video to him and he looked at me like I spouted another head out of my neck and was like, What are you talking about, palate? Like wood? Like, no, not wood. Like, multiple blankets to make you like a little mini princess in the pea type bed in the floor. palette in the floor.

You didn't hear this? Dear heavens, someone. Please, heavens, let there be someone southern in the chat that knows this, dear, sweet heavens, or someone on X. How many of y'all heard Palate and the Floor? I grew up here in this.

Honest to heavens. I thought that I didn't I thought that that was what palette meant I didn't know that it was also applicable to wood things like the wood I don't know that. I was like, oh, when people started saying, oh, get that palette, and it was a wood, I'm like, what?

So it was backwards for me, right? Yeah. Okay, I see it now. I looked it up. Oh my gosh, Lorraine's never heard of it either.

You looked it up? Yeah, so it's a traditional makeshift bed created just by layering blankets and quilts and cushions and stuff on the floor. Mm-hmm. Yep. Huh.

Yep. Yep, my mother would tell people, No, you can stay. I'll make you a palate in the floor. Oh. You would, and sometimes you take a sleeping bag and you'd unzip it and you'd lay it out.

It's this dude named, I can't remember what his account is, but he goes through all of these things, like being ugly, you know, it's roomed. Like is something roomed? It's roomed. Are you INT roomed or spoilt? Those are all real world words.

Um, because my family makes fun of me because I say wash. Like, oh, we're gonna wash a car. Or, I gotta go wash these blankets. I gotta wash some clothes. And every day, my family's like, are you?

There's no R in it. I don't care if there's no R in it. I'm saying it. Anyway, so apparently we have two southern people in the chat, and I'm hoping, or three. Yeah.

Okay, three people have heard that. You guys are my people. That's Heard the palette on the floor, palate in the floor. I did not know that this, that this was not. A more widely understood thing.

Yeah, they say that some people in the South often refer to it as the Baptist palette. No, I hadn't heard of that. Quote unquote, Baptist palate. I hadn't heard of that. That's weird, huh?

Interesting. Lorraine Lorraine goes, To be fair, I did grow up in Jersey. Yeah. All right, Lorraine, before I move on, tailor ham or pork roll? Uh-huh.

Northeast is Taylor Hamm. I'm not even going to get near explaining that because the Jersey people are very particular about this. very particular about this, I'm just saying.

So anyway, I how did I I don't know how I got on this uh this point, but The uh Outmaneuvering China, right? Outmaneuvering China, Venezuela. The Hormuz Strait. And I think it's China that's in. She says pork roll.

I think it's China that's in. The underdog position with this. All right, I gotta move to this story because this was actually hysterical. Hysterical, and also, I'm so tired of this stuff. Good power.

All right, here we go. This is not satire. I had to run this down. And as I was running it down, Twitchy came out with the story.

So then I was like, okay, it's real.

So There is an exhibit. In A museum and Louisville. And They got a million dollar grant from the City of Louisville. In this Museum exhibit in Louisville that got a one million dollar grant, don't know what. Um They just write: guilty white folks can be put in shackles by a black man and told, Welcome to America, and then asked to express what they're feeling.

Yeah. The museum is the Roots 101 African History Museum, African American History Museum. The $1 million funding from the 2027 city budget, writes Twitchy, is intended. To support the museum's mission to educate and tell stories of African American history, including experience from slavery to present.

So the founder and CEO uses heavy iron slave shackles on visitors. To Evoke empathy about the slave trade. Are we going to talk about all the people, including the Irish people and the white people, that Arabs and our own, like down during our founders, the number of merchants that were kidnapped by Arabs and sold into slavery? That is actually vastly. out proportional to this.

I'm just saying So I um I don't know what I think about that. Cain, you go in and that's like apparently part. of the Experience Which I am starting to hate that word for the museum. I just I think back to the stories of, you know, those teachers in schools that were like having kids actually pick cotton to experience the you know, and and they and the community just is outraged by it. every time.

So where's the outrage with this? What did they need? A million dollar grant for. With us. They're heavy shackles.

What That's a them chains ain't a million. I just I don't know, but he does this. We got video of it. Oh, do we He puts it, and I'm looking at the people who are in the audience, and there's like this old white lady that he's, you know, no offense, this type of person that Cain doesn't like. Um Puts the, I mean, you kind of, you don't need to do that to know that it's that, that.

All of it was was awful. But let's also look at who was the selling, who was doing the selling of it. Who is doing the capture of the people and the selling of the people? Where's is there? You got a million dollars.

Does the museum explore that? Oh my gosh, this woman with her little Lord Fauntleroy haircut. Look at that. Yeah. One group.

Heavens. There it is back then. Watch what she does here. Will this replay and show when they were applied there to oh look at her? Camera, what you thinking?

Just so much. See what? Clean access, please. Uh-huh. I've always been interested in history and the history of black people.

I took I took Afrocentric classes at U of L. My grandmother lived at 2821 West Kentucky Street. Mm-hmm. After we did so many books. I don't understand what's happening here.

So she's Does she have to like please him in order to get him off? Like, I mean, like, does she have to tell the story? And until he, I don't mean that. Mm-hmm. Take the shackles out.

Yes. to get the chains off. What am I channeling? You need Jesus, sir. I love Jesus.

I feel like I'm watching a skit. And she just What do you tell me what you're thinking? My response was, you guys got a million dollars for this? That that would have been my But I just don't get it. People are calling it suicidal empathy.

I just don't understand it. Yeah, they're iron chains. Those are probably heavy. I didn't know iron chains were heavy, till I felt of em with my own hands. I tuck This doesn't make any sense.

I don't, but they got a million dollars for this.

So I feel like you could, she doesn't say anything. She just is going through a list of reasons. Like, no, I'm not one of the bad white people. And here's why. I took Afrocentric studies when I was in school.

And I did, I read Afrocentric books when I was in school. And even as an adult, and you know, I did all these things. She's got these shackles on her. And he's just sitting there listening to her: like, at what point does that pay the toll? That this ends.

How long does she stand there? I mean, good night. I left my cats at home to be here today. I know. And he was just like.

Very chill about it, just watching her. She's crying. He's just one. Like, did she sell her family? Sell people?

Was he a slave? Like, I don't even know. Why is I don't know? Laundry should not smell like a hospital bathroom. I mean, seriously, enough with the chemical cleaner scent.

Enter laundry sauce, the premium laundry pods that don't just clean your clothes, they make them smell incredible. And it actually lasts for days. I dare I say weeks. Summer is the perfect time for the Italian bergamot scent. It's fresh, it's clean, it's a little citrusy.

You just throw a pot in and you're done. But here's what really sold me and why I really like this company because it's not just about smelling good.

Upgrade your laundry game. Seriously, you might actually start looking forward to Laundry Day. Here's a thought that shouldn't be controversial.

You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild. But somehow we've turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now.

And hate doesn't just stay in one lane. It spreads.

So even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud.

out and it says, there's a quiet revolution rewriting the tales. of Top A motherhood. What? For decades, high-achieving moms felt pressure to optimize their kids for success. These moms have had enough.

And it basically, it gets into, here's the first graph.

Some nights after Sophie Jaffe is already in bed, her phone will ping with a new video from her 13-year-old son that shows him doing a backflip off a concrete wall or standing on someone's shoulders. She usually won't know precisely where in Los Angeles he is, or for that matter, the whereabouts of his 15-year-old brother either. As long as they're home by curfew and have been well-behaved that week, the teens are allowed to set their own schedules. Ps. Oh, it's the 80s.

Again. Right? That's 80s parenting. Oh, but it's all brand new. No one has ever done it before because these millennials think that everything began the day they were born.

I'm baby Gen X.

So That's just eighties parenting. It's not anything new. That's all that is. That's literally how we that's how we were raised. That describes, I was in sixth grade, 89, 90.

And then high school in the 90s. That's Gen X parenting or that's how Gen X was parented Kane.

So yeah. Tell us it's normal. Just normal. Yeah, but why are they acting like this has never been done before? It is a new top of parenting.

It reminds me of the landline phones that they're now discovering, quote unquote. They're like, well, look at this. Look at this old tech. This is so much better than Wireless frequencies and stuff. Yeah, this is just 80s parenting.

This is not new. This is not new, but you can tell these are people who are like, wow, I did not know that nothing like this has existed until I brought it in to the parlance of our time. Oh, that's that this is just Adie's parenting, so that's one.

So two. This is another headline. The headline is, Teens Help Bring Malls Back to Life.

Now they're getting banned.

So they were I don't know, but can I just say I don't know of any malls around us that are actually being brought back to life, Kane? Do you? Yeah, no. I don't know any. But I guess in this area, it's a Wall Street Journal.

They said mall owners have resorted to banning anyone under 18 accompanied by an adult because of waves of teen disruptions at their property.

So, this isn't a mall in the Bronx, and they're talking about how the younger generation is bringing the malls back, but then. They Malls are in a difficult spot because they need young shoppers, but they also need to keep people safe. Do you know that it's literally because of? ill-behaved kids. It's not teens in general.

It's always the same group of teens that are just constantly causing the same types of, that are causing the same types of problems everywhere. It's unchecked criminal activity and harassment.

So I don't really, I'm not really a mall person. You guys will see me in just black clothes. And I swear, by the way, this is one of the shirts I bought five of on Amazon. It's like $7.99. I'm not even kidding you.

This is the stuff I do. I will literally buy like five of the same shirt if it's cheap enough, and I'll just wear that over and over again because I hate picking out clothes. I don't want to go and browse. I want what I want, and so I'll just get it online because I just don't want to waste the time. And I think a lot of people like that convenience, but there are people that like going to the mall, like people like my mom.

They want to be able to touch stuff and see stuff, but they also don't want to be harassed half to death by hoodlums running around the mall.

So that is a problem. That is an issue. I mean, Kane, the Galleria Mall in St. Louis, our hometown. All these others.

There have been, there was the West County Mall, the one that's in Ledue. They would they would have a security guard that stood in front and would run you off if you were like a teen coming in unsupervised. Like Northwest Plaza. Remember all just in the North County part of the city where we did a lot of like we used to just cruise. Back in the day around the just the mall itself or the mall parking lot.

It was, I remember those days. People were Here's the thing: when I was growing up, if I went to the mall and caused problems. I would get my ass beat. Oh, you guys don't even know. I'm gonna tell you a story.

One time. She's back in Missouri, so she can't hit me.

So one time. Um, I went with my girlfriends, and we were in high school, and we're like, We're gonna go do study for our finals at Appleby so we can get the quesadillas and get a Sodi. And you know, we did, and we sat like on one of the tables by the window that was near the parking lot. I swear to you, I saw my mom pull up in her Honda Accord. Cigarette hanging from her lip.

staring through the window to make sure I was in there. for she drove off.

So me and my friends, we did not do stupid things because we would be beaten to death. We would end up on unsolved mysteries. There's no way we did anything like that. Today's parents are a bunch of pansies. Either that, or they're the parents that are like Mike Brown's mom and dad.

You know, like, oh, I don't know, my son, sure, he strong-armed some cigarillos off of a quick shop owner who had to call police, but my baby didn't do anything wrong. It's like, I mean, that's, we didn't dare do anything like that. Nobody's kids, black or white, acted like that in the 80s and 90s because we would get beat. That's the thing. Like they didn't supervise us because the threat of punishment was an ever-present ghost.

that just went with us wherever. The the eyes of our parents Big Brother had no Who could not even step to the eyes of our parents? That's the thing. So that's why it worked. Because We behaved.

Nowadays, if a kid's acting like a hoodlum and you get them in trouble, the mom is always, and the dad's like, oh, you wronged my baby. No, you suck as parents. You're a stain on the fabric of America because you don't know how to procreate and then raise your offspring properly. That's the problem.

So that's why we can't have nice things. Like, I don't begrudge a mall. I don't dislike malls. It's not necessarily my jam. But I think it's, you know, I think it's fun that kids should have some place to go, right?

I mean, when I was growing up as a teenager in the 90s, if you went to the mall and you didn't have your parents with you, that was like a huge sign of maturity. And nobody wanted to jeopardize that. Nobody wanted to have an adult chaperone. We wanted to be adult mature and like go to Claire's boutique and like, you know, maybe talk about getting her ears pierced and hide it from our parents. That was about the worst that we did.

Of course. I wanted to pierce my ear like way up the top and my mom wouldn't let me do it.

So I literally took a needle and went in my bedroom and did it myself. I was like, I'll just do it myself. She was too worried about my overall well-being to beat me to death, but you know, that was the worst thing I probably ever did, I think, is that.

So, yeah. Anyway. Uh I don't it That's It's not like this. Universal statement against all teenagers, but you guys know the troublemakers out there. It definitely is an indictment of them.

But the malls, I mean, the malls aren't going to do, aren't going to come back if parents aren't going to step up. But I think it's more than that, though. It's not just, you know, hoodlum teens that are causing problems. It's people don't have the time or the patience. I think people are just fatigued generally.

There's too much stuff going on in the day. You know, by the time you're done with your day, dear heavens, do you really want to go to the store to run errands? Nobody wants to do that. And if you're a situational extrovert like me, dear heavens, trying to make small talk out the register is literally going to burn a percentage of my soul away.

So I just. I get it.

Alright, I got one more.

Now they're talking about MACA-coated outfits. Have you heard about this? I don't know. Everything's stupid. MAGA coated outfits.

It's by a woman named Caroline Bologna. Uh they it's at Huffington Post and they said when people think of MAGA They talk about she's so she's like the MAGA outfit is cosmetic surgery, wearing a big giant cross. Uh the Red Hats, but even more than that, tweed. They're like, oh, tweet is a mega staple. This clearly is a woman who has no idea about fashion or dressing or trends or anything.

Um Tucker Nook is apparently considered part of Wait a minute, say that again? Talk or knock.

Okay. You've been tucker lucked. Anyway. That's isn't Tucker Nook like a less lily pewlitz or vineyard vines? I don't even know if you're talking English.

I don't know. We uh had to go to Boca Rattan for business. A couple weeks ago. And um I was wearing my spring black. Which is just Lenin.

And I stuck out like a turt in a punch bowl. Everybody was in like corals. Turquoises. And I'm walking around black, black leather sandals, black. I wore sandals.

But I was in black linen, everything is because it's what I own and it works. And I just, that all that color, all I can think of is bright pink, bright. I can't wear it. Other people it looks nice on. But anyway, they said Tucker Nuck is also like MAGA.

Uh that's a part of MAGA. Um they notice like um They basically say, oh, pointed toe nude heels. Who is this chick that came up with a MAGA coated outfit? I mean, you realize this applies to like most everybody in Fashion Week? That goes out.

I think they're just trying to be snotty about things. I don't think that there's any kind of um Um At all. That's not like a MAGA. It's existed with everybody, right and left, before MAGA. I don't get it.

All right, so aliens, let's do it. Play 21 for me, please.

Sorry, Juan. 21 still to play. And so you could at least make the case academically, even if you disagreed with the whole idea of nuclear weapons and thought they were probably inherently evil. Even if you wondered where they came from in the first place, even if you had dark suspicions about the genesis of nuclear weapons, and some of us do. And let me just ask you this: which I've asked a million people at dinner parties, but never in public.

What was the moment w we can point to that nuclear technology was invented? You know, we can point to Isaac Newton and say, oh, an apple fell on his head. Or we can point to Albert Hoffman in his lab messing around with the ergot bacteria. That's when LSD was made. I've never met a person who can isolate the moment where nuclear technology became known to man.

Um, and so where did it come from exactly? Oh, German scientists in the 30s, really, when name the date. And I've never heard anybody do that. It's very clear to me that these are. These are demonic.

There's no upside to them at all, and that anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant or doing the bidding of the forces that created nuclear technology in the first place, which are not human forces.

So, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Dear heavens, I feel like I've just got drunk without actual alcohol.

Okay. So Aliens are demons, and nuclear power is demonic. Have I got that right? I think so.

Okay, what? What? I I don't know, guys.

So He credits demons for the invention. Of Nuclear Power. And I think it's interesting that he went on the show that he was talking on, wasn't he talking on Jeffrey Epstein's best friend show? Was that Bannon show he was on? Yeah, he was on Jeffrey Epstein's best friend show, the guy who had emailed and all the emails showed that he was trying to work he was working with his best friend Jeffrey Epstein to try to rehabilitate his image after he was convicted of being like a pedo.

Little not like, but a pedo. And he wanted to remove Trump from office, and they were colluding together.

So he, you know, he really cares about. Sex trafficking victims.

So, why not go on the show of the guy who's the best friend of like one of the most notorious traffickers and pedos and rapists ever? And, you know, whatever.

So, um, sure. Yeah, that really makes me want to believe his hot take about nuclear capability being invented by demons. and not human scientific development. That sounds like a leftist argument because I know the left hates nuclear power.

So yeah. Is the demon in the room with you? Scratching them. No, that's just a reflection. I I'm just gonna I'm just gonna put that out there.

That's today and crazy. You know what? Whenever I listen to that. Um I get the same feeling that I get. Whenever When we lived in downtown St.

Louis, and you know that one gas station that's on Grand Cane, and it was a police substation, and they always had to chase like vagrants off. And I remember one time I had to put air in my tire, and the air that was there was like near this dumpster. It was like on the side of the building near a dumpster. And there was always, this is why I use the hobo analogy, because it's based on a real hobo. And this guy smelled like pea.

And he was a young dude, so a younger dude.

So I think it was like by choice. But he was just like really aggressive and you know, et cetera. And he. had um would talk to himself all the time. And it was always like the issues of the day plus crazy.

And I never took him seriously. For the same reason that I don't take Tucker Carlson seriously, because that guy was a hobo by a dumpster who reeked of urine, and the folks who helped bring you the program. Our friends over at Ghostbed, I sleep on a ghostbed every night and it is incredibly comfortable. They don't just build mattresses like furniture, they build engineered sleep systems. And these beds are like health equipment.

They're designed for relief and recovery. It's not just for looks or fluff. I mean, here's the thing: when you go to bed, your body is supposed to be healing and recovering while you sleep. If you're fighting to get comfortable, if you're tossing and turning, if you're fighting over getting a better temperature, you need a new mattress. That's important.

And Ghostbed is made to help with these exact issues. The support, the cooling, the real comfort. I noticed the difference right when we got this thing out of the box. It was just So made so much better. It's actually a little taller than my other mattress.

Like the seaming is better. The fabric around it is better. And it's just so supportive. I noticed the difference immediately. You get 101 nights to try a ghost bed in your home.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, a man was convicted of running a secret China. I mean, this is still going on. He was convicted of running a secret Chinese spy outpost. We've talked about this like quite a lot. Because this isn't a news story, but this now, another guy, remember they have their little Chinese spy outpost in different cities across the United States, and one of them is in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood.

Guy was convicted of acting as an illegal foreign agent. You know how many? We gave a list yesterday of how many there are of these. It's, I mean, these. You know, you had the little police outposts, and they're, I mean, this isn't even getting into the mayor of California that had to resign, Arcadia, California, and all of these other individuals who have been.

associated with the CCP. Japan robot wolves. In a high demand to scare off bears. These things are terrifying enough on their own. I don't know if you've seen this.

A Japanese company is making ferocious-looking robot wolves. Robot wolves, that's actually terrifying. Robot wolves sound, that's an amazing thing. They were swamped by orders after record numbers of fatal bear attacks. It does kind of look like a goat.

Have they seen a wolf? Have they seen that looks like bad taxidermy? And it has a neck beard. That's not fur. That's a neck beard on it.

And then what's on its leg? Those are like little, I don't know. But it's an animatronic scarecrow and it has flashing red eyes and it howls and growls menacingly to scare away wild animals. It's called Monster Wolf, but they apparently had a record number of fatal bear attacks on people last year. The firm that makes the devices received 50 orders just this year alone.

That's more than the usual volume for an entire year. And they said that they make them all by hand. They can't make them fast enough. And they're asking their customers to wait two to three months before they actually get them. And it's all about bear safety awareness.

So in 25 to 26, 13 people were killed by bears in Japan. That's double what they had the year before. They've had 50,000 bear sightings recorded across their country, double the previous record that was set two years before.

So, like, they're entering the houses, they're going to schools, they're like rampaging through supermarkets, and apparently, they're visiting the hot spring resorts that everybody loves. And so, they've been culling them. They said that the number of bears captured and then culled tripled a year.

So, and the population is getting out of control and it's going to destabilize everything else if they don't get a handle on it.

So, it's a pretty serious thing.

So, Tucson is going to be welcoming Team Iran for the World Cup. Why do they get to come? I'm curious. Why do they get to come? They're going to Tucson because we're getting ready to have World Cup.

I'm just wondering, like, why? I mean, I know people would say, don't punish the athletes, but this is conflict. And this just goes along with it. This is why we always say any kind of conflict as a last resort. Maybe Iran should have, I don't know, maybe they shouldn't have been so terroristy.

You know? That would have been helpful, just saying. Uh by the way, people spotted Eric Swawell.

So Eric Swalley. He's nowhere inside at his family home, but his wife. appeared outside without her ring. And looked furious. I like how they say, well, she looked furious.

So they're staking out his house. To see if they can, you know, if they're gonna be able to get a glimpse of him. And so far, he hasn't come up from ground yet. He's still underground. But his wife, apparently, she was at, she also maybe didn't wear her wedding ring going outside.

But if I was her, yeah, I would have already, mm-mm. Yeah. But she was seen outside. She was giving a death stare to the press. And she was not wearing her wedding ring.

She was introduced to her husband by mutual friends in 2015.

So don't know. They haven't, he's been kind of MIA. After everything that happened. All right, folks.

So, I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season.

I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it.

It's a waste of money. It's enraging.

So that's why. The pocket hose ballistic. That's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer.

Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before. bulletproof vests.

So that means, my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden. It's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight.

It's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket pivot.

So no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple. It's smart.

You're done. For a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64000 for your two free gifts with purchase.

And it's not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn't just stay in one lane, it spreads.

So even if you think this isn't your issue, give it a minute. You don't have to agree with people. You just have to decide you're not okay with hate. That's it. The blue square is a simple way to say that out loud.

Finishing up this third hour, I'll be on Fox Business later in the, I think it's the 4 p.m. hour. And don't forget, Substack, go sign up. Lots of good stuff that's coming out there. And I'll also make sure I get all this stuff up on the green stuff.

She's been like going, like talking about me on social media. She really cosplays as a tough talker. She really lacks the spine, though, because if she was actually as courageous as she wants you to think that she is, she would have tagged me. And also, I think it's really weird when people get so defensive just because you ask a question.

Now, I was reliably informed that whenever you criticize someone who's merely asking questions of people who are in government, that that's an attack on my free speech. That's an attack on the First Amendment. Why are you trying to stop my voice? Why are you trying to suppress my speech? I was reliably informed, Kane.

Yeah. That's true. We were told. Just asking questions. But I think it's a legitimate question to ask.

I think all members of Congress, be they current or just left right after they got their pinch invested, I think that they should be able to answer questions about very interesting trades that were made while they were in Congress, like buying shares in major tech and defense companies right before a 90-day tariff pause was announced. That's kind of interesting. You know what I mean? Like purchasing shares of a company right before they get awarded a federal contract. I think that's really important to ask too, ICE, April 2025.

But you know, we're just asking questions. I invited her to come on air and talk about these questions with me.

So we'll see if that spine is really made of steel or if it's just a trans spine. We'll see. All right. Today in Stupidity Camp. Speaking of questions.

And speaking of questions, we've got a really stupid one here from Jamie Raskin. Oh, boy. Yeah, listen to this. But I'm curious, why can I not pick up, with its massive resources, why can they not pick up the prisoners while they are still being held? We're right before they're about to be released.

Sanctuary states and cities don't cooperate with them. Because they don't even let them know. They don't even honor retainers. By the way, they're Democrats. Yeah, what is he talking about?

Does he, because you did that, dude? You did it. That does it for us today. We've got a big show for you tomorrow as well. Have a great night.
