The discussion centers around the apparent disconnect between Vice President J.D. Vance and President Trump, with Vance seemingly at odds with the administration's stance on China and Russia. Meanwhile, the US is dealing with the aftermath of Canada's devastating wildfires, which have led to hazardous air quality and economic losses. Additionally, concerns about election interference and identity theft are raised, as well as issues with food safety and airline policies.

This is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs. Welcome to the program. I've noticed something. And I was thinking about this. When Because I, with the video that we were playing yesterday with Vance, with the vice president.

POTUS has gone out there. And has just gone after. All of our geopolitical enemies that are trying so hard. to divide America. And that's the whole thing.

I mean, he went after them hard. He went after them hard. And he was throwing out receipts talking about the hackable voting machines, really slamming China, slamming China. And I was thinking about this. I'm like, there's a very clear difference in the administration this week.

Because POTUS has gone so hard After China, after Russia, all of those. Geopolitical foes. that have been pushing That red-green alliance really. And Vance goes after. Israel.

He didn't say anything about this. They do not at all seem like a team right now. At all. They do not seem like they are on the same page. And that's a real problem.

I think that's a real problem going into midterms. You have the Tucker Carlson wing of the Republican Party that hates Trump. and wants to remake the GOP. This is cut twenty-four. Listen to this.

This is what he's I mean, this is more proof for my point. The Republican Party, the fact that you've left it, does that mean you've given up on J.D. Vance leading the Republican Party, being the next presidential candidate and it being a different Republican Party to what you see now?

Well, I think if J.D. Vance were president, of course he would not be at a war with Iran. It's... Impossible for me to imagine J.D. Vance standing up and saying, we need to have two wars to defeat a phantom nuclear program.

It's like too insane. You know, I think he has too much self-respect to say something like that. I don't think he believes it. I think J.D. Vance would have led the Republican Party into closer alignment with its own voters.

What?

Okay, for voters who have overwhelmingly been supporting POTUS on this. I mean, I've looked at all of the surveys on this. They have overwhelmingly supported. Trump on on what he's been doing with Iran. Whether you look at Oh my goodness, Quinnipiac, whether you look at Gallup, now where you have issues is economics, and it's a completely different survey set.

Completely different survey set. And I don't know what where he thinks he's going with us. Not nothing that he says is supported by truth.

So you have one of Vance's closest friends. The guy who got him into the White House as vice president, the guy whose son was his deputy press secretary. And you know that was a gratuity higher Who's saying, oh, well, we wouldn't have had this. You know, because if Vance were in office, remember, they subscribed to the Barack Obama foreign policy, that Iran is just one economic package away from functioning like a normal regime. If only we would just give Iran more money.

If only we would just try diplomacy. These are statements made by either clueless people or people who believe that politics began the day that they were born. The diplomatic dance with Iran. Literally predates my birth. In fact, it's gone on longer than most of you in my listening audience and viewing audience.

That's how long? Decades, decades, decades, decades.

So the assertion that, well, if only. That doesn't even make any sense. Because the issue hasn't been the United States. The issue hasn't been any policy with the United States. The issue has been the regime.

There is this push amongst the Carlson faction. of this coalition and really they're they're leftists Who make more money. trying to ingratiate themselves with the right than they do being simply on the left. Because remember, the left doesn't tolerate. If you get off.

Message. Right? And the rights coalition tolerates it because it's the only way that you have a coalition.

So they have that freedom there. But They're leftist. Cosplain, like Ashley Webb is cosplaying as a woman, they're cosplaying as Republicans. And they're really trying to undermine everything that the president is doing. If you really look at it, they're the ones.

Who are floating this idea. that Iran can be reasoned with. And that Trump is Uh a warmongerer. They've really been floating that. And I feel like Vance just rides it.

And he's not too aggressive in saying anything against it. because he needs the optic of looking as though he's supportive of the president. He would tank himself. It's too early for him. At some point, he's going to have to turn on POTUS publicly.

In order to ascend, that's going to have to happen. In order to make Vance happen, Trump has to be destroyed. And that's what all of this is laying the foundation for. from the get-go. Vance's track to this point has been almost verse chapter, just like Barack Obama's.

Immediately comes in and spends 18 months here, a year there, and then all right, now you're vice president because Tucker Carlson and Peter Thiel really pushed hard to make it happen.

So this idea and in Tucker And this is probably why he never got hired at the CIA. He's playing his hands a little too early. It's too early to put all this stuff out here yet, but they're already doing it. And I think they're doing it because they did not anticipate Trump being as successful as he was out at the gate with Iran. I really feel like that expedited a lot of things.

But He's, he keeps, Tucker keeps acting like he's the one who speaks for the majority of people on the right. He really does. And he asserts that, well, Vance is the one who speaks for the majority. No. Vance actually then he if that were true, he probably would have won his Senate race in Ohio by a larger margin than he did and without the millions of dollars that he needed in the form of a bailout for Mitch McConnell.

And Trump had to be lobbied very, very hard. And I've heard this from people who were involved in it. Very hard to even consider him.

So it's something that people had to literally. Colin a lot of chits, C-H-I-T-S. to make happen.

So no. That's not really how that works if someone agrees with you or if they feel like you speak for them. But that being said, There is this disconnect, and it's very obvious in the administration. POTUS is really focusing on China, Russia, he's really focused on cutting China out. and protecting America's interests because he understands.

That This is all about protecting American interests. That's what it's about. Healthy allies also protect America's interests. Making sure that China doesn't control choke points protects America's interests. But that's not anything that the VP has been addressing.

It's just wild to me that you spend two hours In a podcast interview, And you kind of gloss over really and skip over everything that POTUS is is pushing on. And you only go after An alliance. It's just weird to me. And very energetically, enthusiastically do it. And spend a lot of time.

Really without unprovoked without Rogan having to draw it out of him. It's just very odd. They are not at all on the same page. And it's becoming more evident. And I feel like one of the reasons Vance is doing all of this press.

Is he's trying to separate himself from Trump. He's trying to keep his name in circulation because so much of it's focused on Trump and then Rubio and Besson and all of this stuff as it relates with the negotiations, which Vance wasn't really part of until. the last half of the last bit. And then that was his whole idea of: well, we have to push diplomacy and economic relief and all of that. Which that's where it came in with the Saudi states or the Arabs, the Arab League and Saudi Arabia, UAE, et cetera.

Well, they can give money. To Iran. Remember, that's the idea that they're just one economic package away from being a fully respectable regime. doesn't make any sense. They never have been.

I mean, we've heard that excuse. I mean, dear heavens, that's what Barack Obama said. That's why they put over took over all those pallets of cash based on the same belief that Iran was just one economic package away from functioning like a normal regime.

So they're not all on the same page. And it's becoming problematic because it's proving to be a distraction for Trump's agenda. And the thing that I see, because they're all doing damage control. They spent all yesterday doing damage control, and they spent all this morning doing damage control. And there are a lot of messages going back channel, criticizing people and trying to prevent them from speaking out more.

So That's becoming a real issue. It's becoming a real problem. You can't detract from what POTUS is doing. I gave the example yesterday. It's like when the preacher, when the pastor finishes his sermon, And Then he gives a great sermon, and that's what everybody's supposed to have in their minds as they leave and go back to their lives that week.

And then you have the guy that's leading the closing prayer, come up and ramble on for 20 minutes longer and give his own mini sermon and stuff all over it. It's very similar. It's it should not be that way. But what it signals is that there is a lack of cohesion. and they're definitely not on the same page.

So I don't know what the, and not only does it look like they're not on the same page, but it kind of looks like Vance is sort of on the periphery. Because I feel like if they were both on the same page and also if they were communicating regularly, that. I don't know, I just feel like the messaging would be a lot tighter. Because Trump's been running a tighter ship on this stuff this term than he did his first time in office.

So there's a lot of there's some a lot of red flags here. But this has been all of this, they're trying to build. A body, for the lack of a better way to put it. A presence For Vance, a C V for Vance, so to speak, outside of Trump. They're trying to make him relevant apart from being VP, apart from Trump's popularity on his own.

So, this is a PR-controlled opposition effort. That's what this is. They're very they get very upset. I've had people mad at me for talking about this. Not kidding.

What?

Canada and their water and their fires.

So we were talking about.

Some of the smoke that we've been seeing, wildfire smoke, apparently, the air quality is so bad. Uh they We're saying that, especially, I guess, the more northeastern you are, to just kind of stay inside. That's wow, wow, wow, wow. It looks bad. I'm looking at all these hazy pictures.

Now Where did this come from? I mean, it's wildfires, but how did it get this bad? Huh. Maybe it's because Canada's really bad at What, wildlife mana or or l uh land management? Land and forestry.

Clearly. I mean, I don't the hunt I mean, acres are burning. And it even where Steve is in DC. I mean He's it's smoky all the all the way down to DC. That's insane.

So it's really like hazardous from what I've everything that I'm reading about it. Like the All the pollution now in the air has made it hazardous for people to breathe. Apparently, Ontario Has a forestry policy. that allowed Now because I looked into this and I was reading some forestry stuff. Ontario's forestry policy has allowed the continued aerial spraying of glyphosate across parts of a boreal forest.

to suppress Deciduous species like aspen and birch in favor of conifer regeneration. You know who would really struggle with all those words? Lockerburg. That's just an anecdote. It's just an anecdote.

Yeah, it's just an anecdote.

Now they said Northern Ontario, they have another devastating wildfire season. You have over 100 active fires. You have ongoing evacuations, homes lost, smoke going far beyond Canada's borders, air quality alerts like crazy, hazy skies affecting every, I mean, it's in the United States now. The forest management, their practices, they really need to be rigged across the coals for this. They said that fire ecologists have noted mixed forests containing more deciduous species can be more resilient to wildfire because trees like aspen and birch are generally less flammable and they can help slow fire spread.

But they said that conifer, so, like, how are they managing? I mean, are they managing for timber? Are they managing for? I mean, what? What?

Quebec, they said, banned glyophosphate in 2001. Apparently Ontario hasn't.

So Wow. I mean, it's bad. They said that the toxicity of this I mean, some of it. I mean, it's just bad. They've been closing six they've been closing all kinds of stuff.

Like people that are in Michigan, I know folks that are vacationing, like up in Michigan, and they were saying that they've literally just been told to stay inside.

So it's a vacation where they've been mostly staying inside. and that the air quality is historically bad. And they said that a full spending a full day, health experts were, I think they were just generalizing, but they were saying that spending a full day outdoors is like roughly smoking 10 cigarettes. The economic toll, six flags in Illinois, Kane. Six Lags Great America in Illinois closed Friday.

Closed today because of the hazardous air conditions. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Let's see, Cedar Point in Ohio closed early.

Their amusement park because of quote poor air quality caused by Canadian wildfires. It's in Pennsylvania. I mean, it is everywhere. Everywhere. They have over 700, apparently, over 700 active wildfires, 8.2 million acres destroyed.

That doesn't seem like that seems like it's on purpose. That seems like it's on purpose. And then you have the World Cup finals Sunday, and they're saying that the smoke could be one of the biggest stories because it's apparently.

So they're playing in Jersey, right?

So the air quality in Jersey is going to be red. How is that going to work? What are they going to do with that? You're seriously telling me that they're going to risk having those players running around in red quality air? Juan, do you think they'll cancel it or postpone it?

Yeah. Wow. Yeah, they could move it to somewhere else. Player somewhere else? I mean, they're going to have to go pretty far down south.

Because it's red all the way. Oh man. I mean. all the way down to Baltimore. It is red.

That's wild. And then they get into some of the actual forest management people are talking about, like, oh, this is degradation, this is 10% additional degradation, AQ. I don't even know what that means. But they're saying that masks. won't help.

Wow. Now, apparently, I guess they're having storms rolling through.

So I don't know if some of that. wind and all of that is going to help move it out.

So you had Ohio Senator Moreno who's going to introduce a bill to sanction Canada over wildfire smoke now. He's accusing them years of inadequate forest management. justified in the name of climate change. He said that they're going to sanction them over this because it's now the economic and actual physical cost is measurable. I mean, it's all the way down to the Carolinas.

That's so bad. Yeah, so Bernie Moreno says he's introducing a bill next week to sanction Canada and the responsible Canadian government officials for the atrocity. Holy wow. And that uh yeah, toxic as I'll get out.

So Steve has been seeing it. In DC, and there have been pictures of DC, like Ariel, of the reflecting pool and the Lincoln Memorial and all of that, where it's very, it's super hazy. I mean it looks The bad that's bad. That that looks like somebody's burning something on their grill. That's what it looks like.

That's what happens when you don't have proper land management.

So it's like California, but times 110. That is insane. And it's super bad. I mean, you're having toxins released into the air, and this is like going through your system, and you're breathing it. Yes.

So you know Man, this is bad. They had the National Weather Service, they posted yesterday: smell smoke this morning.

Okay. Yeah. And it shows, it seems like it's like really, it's pushing down into the Carolinas, but it's really, I feel bad for Michigan. Michigan, Ohio, in northern Indiana, Pennsylvania. I mean, it's, I mean, it's just Delaware, it's just covering the whole Northeast, like even parts of the Midwest, northern Midwest.

But that's a lot.

So yeah, we should sanction them. We should and and they should manage their damn forest better. Good heavens I read an article where it said the past 17 years, Canada's had a greater share of burn than the United States. Like that's like more fires in the United States. And it all comes down to land management.

I'm just watching all of these videos of it just burning, and just people can see it from, like, there's footage from planes where they can see giant billowing, like. smoke billowing in. Good heavens Uh so uh maybe they should they should Do more. And then you had Mark Kearney, so Mark Kearney was asked. About These wildfires.

And he was asked, well, how are you going to, you know, he was trying to find a way to deflect because he was asked, well, how are you going to deal with all of how are you going to mitigate this, et cetera? And he was trying to say, well, you know, we only have 60, I'm looking at the transcript here. We only have 60 water bomber airplanes to fight more than 860 wildfires in six out of 10 provinces. And he was talking about how heavily they had invested in green energy. And if we can play that, let's play some of that audio I just dropped.

But um And He was basically blaming the United States for this when he was asked: well, what can Canada do more to avoid? This Having all of this go into Northern America, listen to this. What do you say to elected officials of the U.S. who are asking Canada to do more to avoid that the north of the US every year sees the smoke from the wildfires? We need a contribution from the Americans in the fight against climate change.

And I'll give you one example.

Now we're putting the emphasis on investments in clean energy. In the U.S., there are no prohibitions. Yeah, please. They're against clean energy, for example. Wind energy.

That's one example. Second. Canada is maintaining It's efforts globally. and the US are reducing. Their efforts globally.

So, Yes, climate change. Is everyone's responsibility. Truly, everybody.

So here's from the global carbon budget of 2024. Which countries have contributed the most to historical CO2? It talks about the countries that have emitted the most. And they miss out on They'd I mean, how do you not even list China? How do you not list India?

Are you kidding me? It's all such a psyop.

So the country that can't control fire is lecturing everyone else on global climate.

Okay. You know, they gave a hundred million to Gaza. They could maybe, I don't know, have spent some money on this. That seems like that's something that they could have done.

So they're blaming the United States, which has done more. To Reduce any kind of greenhouse gases, et cetera, than any other nation on earth. And we're being lectured? Because you guys can't conduct proper land management. That's not our responsibility, schmuck.

That's So just another thing, manage your damn forests. Manage your forest, it's not our responsibility to do that for you. Good heavens. Why do they stop prevention efforts? I mean, that's a big question.

Why do they stop it? I i it's I Insane. But they expect the United States to, when they mean they need the United States to help, they mean they also need the United States to. They want money. For what?

They wanted money.

Now A few other things to touch on. China's foreign ministry responded to POTUS' claims of election interference, and they said, quote, the U.S. allegations have no factual ground and are aimed at vilifying China. We have no interest in interfering in U.S. elections and have never done so.

No one believes. No one at all believes you. I mean, remember the California mayor that resigned, Eileen Wang, because she was a CCP spy? Remember her? Remember all the she's just one of several.

And we're at the bottom of this third hour. And been following everything from the left-wing violence that the President talked about, that Marco Rubios talked about, as well as the election interference, although China's insisting. that these are all lies. I mean that's, hmm.

Okay. They're just it's all lies. They haven't done anything. Really? I find that.

Nobody believes that, actually. Nobody at all believes any of that. They've been in I mean This has been something that has been discussed. What was it back in 2016, we were talking about voting machines going out of California? I'm not even getting into the number of CCP officials who've had to stop down from elected office.

I they they did though, Kane, they did. Actually, Uh How do I say? They did climb because they started as drivers for people like Diane Feinstein, CCP entities, and then they became full-on. Elected officials. For Democrats.

Mm. There you go.

So we've known this. Couple of other things to get into. We've got, it's a crazy, it's kind of a weird news day. Oh, I gotta talk about Olive Garden because this was mentioned. Before Who lo I mean Olive Garden isn't bad.

I haven't eaten there in forever. We don't I don't think we have one around here. Was it the never-ending stick? Neverending breadstick that they have? I loved the uh What is it?

I asked AI to write a commercial for Olive Garden, and that was a thing that went viral a few years ago. It was funny. They have a never-ending pasta pass. And they said the pasta pass sale apparently started yesterday.

Someone asked them Quote. Are you able to order pasta for family using this pasta pass? Or is that exclusively for the person with the card at the table? Because it'd feel really weird with just one person having unlimited pasta while everyone else awkwardly waits. And so Olive Garden said, No.

The never-ending pasta pass is only for use by the pass holder whose name is printed on the pass. Passes are personalized and non-transferable. Pass holders must present a valid photo ID along with the pass at the time of ordering. Wait. Why does Pasta why does the pasta pass?

and Olive Garden have better security. Then our regular voting. Why? Why? Why aren't they should just run our elections at this point?

This is crazy.

So You have to have a voter ID for the pause to pass at Olive Garden. But You don't need a an ID to go and vote. in many states. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up. Is Oligarden racist?

I was told. That if you Believe in voter ID, then that's racist. That's what we were told reliably, Kane. We were informed this. I mean, you literally have to have ID to get the number ending pasta pass.

That's crazy.

So I don't know. Oh, and you and I mean, I like that idea. We should do that here. They even have a backup. Personalized, non-transferable.

Have a valid photo ID along with the pass. You can't even, so you have to have all of that to get the pass. And then to use the pass, you still have to have photo ID, even though you had to have your photo ID to get the pass. You still have to have your photo ID when you present the pass. That's more secure than our elections, ladies and gentlemen.

Dare I say that it seems as though we view pasta, never-ending pasta, maybe with. we put a little bit more reverence towards that than we do. Voting? We think that somehow that that's more precious than voting? I mean, I don't know about you, but I think I'm calling shenanigans on that.

That's wild. So that's Some of the latest. Also, now, hold up, I found this. Where is this at? Because have you guys been hearing all of the stuff about the lettuce?

With uh we talked about it yesterday. People were asking if Olive Garden used any of that lettuce or anything like that.

So I saw this thing where. Um I guess they had found There is a place. Oh, I don't know if I want to say the. They found a place, federal, so CBS says federal health officials say they found the source. Of the nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak.

That made everybody sick. And it is a California supplier. They provide lettuce to Taco Bell. Oof. Oof, a lot of people.

Taco Bell. Target. Whole Foods. Costco apparently Oh man, there's a lot. They provide a lot.

And there's a guy in Ohio who has sued Taco Bell and Taylor Farms because he had explosive. Deuces. He became seriously ill. He ate several Taco Supremes. I am so glad I've not had a Taco Supreme as of late.

They said it was the shredded iceberg lettuce. It's always a lettuce. That's always the lettuce, and that's apparently what did it. Taylor Farms, and apparently, they got chopped lettuce like everywhere in your grocery stores, all of that stuff. And again, do you know, just to remind everybody, do we know where the cyclopsoriasis comes from?

You guys know where it comes from? You guys remember? Yeah, it comes from duty. Yeah, it means, okay, so how did it get here? Because that me there's duty in it.

That's what it means. There's literal poop in it. Human waste in the lettuce. How? I want to know how.

Now the traceback investigation. Where is the lettuce that comes from the California supplier? Where does it originate? Kane, would you like to know? I do.

Always. comes from Mexico. Do they have the water there? Taylor Farms is based in Salinas, California. It's the major supplier.

The lettuce came from Mexico.

So I feel pretty. confident in saying that people were deucing in the fields. Cain, how else does this happen? Look, everyone knows that you don't drink the water when you're in Mexico, right?

So maybe they're using that water. To water these Heads of lettuce. And now we've got bad Mexican water that's obviously human poop water. I'm going to ask the internet. Watering these heads of lettuce.

The Taylor Farms lettuce get. contaminated. I'm gonna just ask and see what it says. Let's see. Oh, yeah, apparently they did.

Yeah. Either contaminated water or when there's no sanitation in the field.

So, people are just either deucing in the water and then spraying the water on the lettuce or deucing right on the lettuce. One of the two. That's it. They think it's what plants crave. That's literally it.

Oh no. You know what doesn't, you know how you don't get this? and lettuce that you chop yourself. Cause you can wash it all off. Although, would you really?

I wouldn't even want to eat lettuce knowing if it had that on there and I washed it off, I still wouldn't eat it. You know what I mean? You gotta scrub with soap that stuff. I'm not gonna just watch it. Like, if you grab a dog turd with your hand, are you just gonna like run it under some water?

No! You know what I mean? Like, no. Boo! Yeah.

Oh no. So Steve says Deuce in the Fields is his favorite Steely Dan song. That's not the name of it. Why it? Yeah.

There's like almost 2,000 people that have been sick, 94 hospitalizations. And apparently, though, people are saying, no, no, no, the CDC's tally is way behind. the tallies of other states.

So, it's probably more than that.

So, Michigan said they had more than 5,000 cases confirmed Friday. 102 hospitalizations.

Now, here's the other thing. Taylor Farms had this exact same situation a year ago: E. coli to the onions. McDonald's had to briefly stop using onions on its quarter pounders. Hmm.

So They said that the cyclopsoriasis begins about a week after infection, and then the illness can be like two days to two weeks.

So, yay! I mean, good heavens. Just it sounds like there's a that sounds like there's a wide berth there. I I I mean so you're supposed to wash your produce, obviously, cook all your food when possible. I just think that that's that's I'm just saying it.

I maybe we should stop sourcing stuff from Mexico. Yeah. Hmm? Let's just not, let's just, let's not say we did, right? Let's just stop getting from that.

If I'm a company that sells that. Vegetable wash spray or something that is supposed to combat stuff like this, I'd be right now massively advertising my product. Exactly. Exactly. I love how they advertise their greens.

21 grams of protein. Do they tell you where that protein's from? Mmm. Yeah, you're going to lose even more. Guess how much protein you're going to lose.

Good heavens. As we move, the folks who help make the program possible, it is the people over at Burna Gunn, B-Y-R-N-A.

Now I always carry I tell people this every time, but I'm going to still say it. You can probably recite it. I have no problem carrying. I have no problem using the lethal force to protect myself or someone I love. You guys know this.

But sometimes, you know, you have to go to places where maybe it's for work where you can't carry because of municipal restrictions or private property restrictions.

So, what do you do? You need to have an option. This is why it's important to have a little bit of a diversified weapons. cachet, so to speak. And this is where Burna Gun comes in.

Now you're familiar with Burna. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to sixty feet away. And the particular model that is best recommended for this is the CL, that's the compact launcher. It's about the size of an iPhone. It's just another tool in your kit for when you cannot carry.

And here's the thing. It doesn't care about gun-free zones because it's not a gun. And there's no background check, there's no waiting period. You literally buy it online, they send it right to your door, right to your front porch. That's where it goes.

Right. And Now, I didn't, of all the things, maybe it's maybe I'm being naive here. Because the left has a problem with everything. Why would I be surprised that the same people who have a problem with literally what is on the box of butter. That why did I think that there would there wouldn't be any objections over this?

So there is Uh what is live and let's fly? That's a I guess a memo. Right. That or that's a it's a I guess it's an airline industry.

So it's a United Airlines and another airline, they're doing the reciprocal program, I guess, for their travelers.

So that little program. had a memo that they sent out. And apparently some passengers. want to change their flights because they don't want to fly Into President Donald J. Trump International Airport.

Kane, do they, is it because of the name? Or maybe is there something wrong with the airport? It's it's because of the name. It's that's all it is.

So it's just the name. Yeah, they don't want to land at the airport they've always landed at. Because of the name.

So this internal memo Apparently, it's allowing people who don't want to land at the President Donald J. Trump International Airport to change their flights for free. If they can go to Fort Lauderdale or Miami, if they don't want to come into the Palm Beach Trump airport. The guidance even included a suggested response for agents: I understand that you'd rather not fly to this airport anymore. You know.

Why? Who's entertaining this crap? United Airlines told Fox Business that their memo was poorly worded and not accurate. What So How much money do you think that they're losing on that? It's their fault.

They're accommodating these idiots. If the company is deciding to accommodate these idiots, the whatever losses they're incurring is their own fault.

Well, and I'm looking at this piece here. And Yeah, they can switch to Fort Lauderdale. They can switch to Miami. It just seems like that's kind of a drive if you're going. Without having to pay extra.

Wait, would you have to pay extra? If you, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Kane, say that you were like, I don't want to fly into Fort Lauderdale. I'd rather go to Miami. Would you have to pay extra?

Yes.

If you don't want to fly into the President Donald J. Trump airport, you don't have to pay extra. It's only free if the airline themselves made a mistake. And then, you know what I mean? That's when it's free.

But that's not how it's happening here. The airline is accommodating these people because of their feels. Uh How much is it usually? What's the fee to change? I don't change airports because I'm very picky.

It depends on the type of ticket you buy in the very beginning, like how much. Because you do have the option to have a non-refundable type ticket as well.

So they said if their customer doesn't want to fly to the airport, use your. This is the memo. Dear heavens, I'm sorry. I'm just, this is so stupid. It's making me angry.

If a customer does not want to fly to the airport, use your empowerment to offer acceptable alternatives, such as Fort Lauderdale Airport, Miami International Airport. And if they don't want to land, they give them like suggested responses. For instance, one of the guidance offers this as something gate agents, I guess, or agents can say to the passengers, I understand that you'd rather not fly to this airport anymore. We can look at nearby airports like Fort Lauderdale or Miami instead. Is that an acceptable alternative?

It sounds like they're talking to to toddlers. Ugh. That's so... Insane. This is so stupid.

Who cares? Fort Lauderdale is 45 miles south of West Palm Beach. Miami is over 70 miles away.

So that's still a haul. I if I were united, I would just say, you know what? Get TF over it. You walking mental abortion. or don't fly.

In fact, I would say no, you know what? I'm taking your ticket. You're too retarded to fly. We don't want this nonsense in the air. We do not want this nonsense up in a pressurized tube 30,000 feet in the air.

Because someone may go crazy at you because you're that stupid and petty. Who is that? By the way, these are only rich people that this affects. These are rich progressives that are doing this. There is no person who is counting their pennies who's like, well, I just don't want to fly into this airport.

I don't like the name of it. If you're flying to West Palm Beach, you're not poor.

Sorry, yank. He ain't. He ain't poor. These are just rich progressives that are bitching about it. That's all this is.

Get over it. Get over it. There's so many things. What's going to change them objecting to this airport? What are they fixing?

Look, I solved world hunger because I switched my flight instead of going to President Donald J. Trump International Airport. So many words. I switched my flight to Miami International. Look, I stopped all world hunger.

I ended racism. I stopped the conflict in Iran. Just by switching to this different airport. What are you accomplishing? What are you accomplishing?

You know I don't want these people to not be able to do that, but I wish there was a follow-through. Like, is there a way, this is again why you never should vote for me. If I ever run for office, just know that it's an alien who's wearing me as a suit. Because I Hate people too much to want to like represent them. I'm sorry, I do.

Actually, I'm not at all sorry. I don't want the grief. I could never, I would never want to represent anyone who would vote for me. But if I was in elected office, I would be like, okay, well, all of these people, we're going to round you up for forced sterilization. You're too stupid to procreate.

And you're never allowed to fly again. You think China's bad? Oh, dear children, no. No. Under a Dana regime?

Oh, it's gonna be it would be ridiculous. I'm just being honest, Kane. I'm just telling you what I would do. That's it. See?

So be thankful. I bet I don't want that done to me though.

So, you know. But The airport said they have to change the name by state law, and it does not affect its ownership, governance, or operations.

So, I mean, what do they think is going to happen? You think, oh, well, if I do you think that if you fly into Donald J. Trump airport, your taxes are going to lower? Oh, no. I mean, what do you think?

You think the border is going to close more? Like, what are you upset about? Good heavens, people are just so dumb. It's just one of the dumbest stories I've ever seen. And it's real.

How many? But the thing is, for there to be that much, for there to be a story about this. That means a lot of people were complaining. For United to literally have to craft a memo? That means enough people were complaining.

Was it United that crafted the memo? Was it that live and let fall?

Well, the United's part of that little program. Right. And the other airline that I can't pronounce.

Well, if the math internet, that one. Yeah, that that one. Those two airlines together, that's like their frequent flyer, whatever travel program.

So, yes, it's it's partly united. Virtue signaling, and maybe a few people complained and they found an opportunity to virtue signal here. I think that could have been it. But I just don't want to think that humanity is this stupid or a good portion of it is this stupid. You really?

I don't want to think that. I mean, I keep getting the evidence thrown in my face to the opposite, but. Oh, no, I need to see evidence to the contrary at this point. I need to see I need to see evidence to the contrary.

So I I mean Well, maybe, you know That's More those are more flights for you. If you're in Florida and you want to go out of Palm Beach, those are more, look, you got more flight opportunities because you have these people that are self-canceling.

So, I can't really push against that. Yeah, right? Yeah, oh man, MDM, that's right. How much of your financial life exists as a number on a screen? Your savings, your retirement accounts, and investments are all digital assets.

On the Today Show, of all things. I watched this video a million times and I didn't see anybody in the background. That doesn't mean that there wasn't. I guess it just wasn't on the video.

So apparently, the Today Show, somebody stormed their offices yesterday. Lunged at Craig Melvin. I have no idea who that is. I don't watch that stuff. I guess he's one of the hosts on the morning in the Today Show.

I don't know. Called him a slur and is now facing a hate crime charge. Why is it a hate crime charge? Why isn't it just you're trespassing in your D-bag? Why does it have to be hate crime?

All crimes are hate. The person approached the Melvin guy and alerted security. He was taken into custody by law enforcement without further incident. No altercation. Nobody was injured.

How does, okay, how does that even happen though? How does that guy, because when you go into that building and I've been in that building before, you go through two different layers of security. You go through in the very beginning before you even, depending if you're taking the elevator or escalator or whatever, you have to show your ID, you have to check in, someone has to clear you from whatever department particularly that you're going into.

So how did this guy get in there? He had already had security clearance or someone let him in. That is the only way that this guy got there. The only way. I don't know why Al Roker is at the bottom because isn't he dead?

I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I think he might be. But so that's kind of crazy.

So, and he lunged it at Craig Mell. Oh, no, Al Roker's alive.

Sorry, Juan, you're right. Al Roker's alive. I don't watch these shows. I don't know. I don't know anything about the Today Show.

Willard Scott, you might be thinking of, right? Oh, was he the strawberry jam guy? Yeah. Like, happy birthday with some yes muckers. That's right.

All of the morning show people are the same to me. They're all the same. You know, Willard, Roker, I don't know. They're all the same. They're all weather people, too, aren't they?

I think so. I think so. Was he? Is he? I don't know.

Calci opens a betting market for pharmaceutical trials and FDA decisions. Kane, is there a way we can get in on this? You can literally bet anything now. I mean, anything. I'm not a gambling person, but I feel like I'm leaving meat on the bone, as they say.

Right. Puerto Rico announces emergency water rationing. They have a drought.

Well, they have a drought. It's in tropical island. It happens all the time. Wow, Juan is our our our very pure conservative dude Juan is Puerto Rican. Every two, three years it happens, so they do that.

It's super normal. Really? Okay, 'cause they're but they're acting like it's a big old global warming catastrophe though. But they said it's water rationing, emergency water rationing. As the drought worsens, coming out of San Juan, they said that the chronic water shortages have forced the governor to declare a state of emergency.

Thousands of people are facing 48-hour rationing periods, and that's going to affect several communities as well. They blamed a lack of rain, severe water shortages, et cetera. We'll watch.

Daniel Lash with you. It is Friday. We made it, guys. We made it to Friday. Woo!

I know. Everyone's like, this has been a week. I was looking at just to give you an idea of how much the left does not want to talk about everything POTUS said yesterday. Here's the headline from New Yorker, MSN. Trump drags America deep down the rabbit hole.

Okay. Um And what issue do you take? The f I mean, there was a lot of fraud that was proven. And it's like they're running defense for China. especially where it concerns voting machines.

their running defense for China. Not very America first.

So that's, they've been just trashing this. Oh, it's. He was claiming that the US, we have a US election vulnerabilities, et cetera. They are really trying to act like that didn't. exist.

I mean, China, here's the other thing. One of the things that he got into with his address is that I mean, not just the issue with voter rolls, but The issue with As Red State put it, a digital dossier on everybody who's voting. The CCP. There, I mean that's. What came out in these classified documents is that the CCP is also stealing personal data.

And you're looking at What, over 220 some odd million American voters that have been compromised. It is a huge, huge hall. Catherine Herridge was reporting on it. about how This plus other records like the 2015 security clearance stuff, the health data, which I mean, there's going to be a lot of, you get all that personal data. You can.

You can engage in fraud. It was reported as: quote, China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files, even CNN.

Now, here's where the left is differing.

So, you had like MSN that was saying, oh, this is, we're just going down the rabbit hole. But CNN is like, yeah, this is an alarming disclosure. They're even admitting this is alarming. That they carried out the largest compromise of election data in history: 220 million Americans. And that includes, by the way, your name, your address, your phone number, your political party preference, any other sensitive data that's required to vote.

That is huge. That's unprecedented. And they are signed. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically. to this new effort of compromising Our Uh data protections.

I mean incredibly significant. And so he was reiterating they've been collecting data. They had 22 million security clearance applications in 2015, known as SF86, the roadmap to your life that was hacked by China. That's what Catherine Herridge reported.

So the threat comes from the data. You can weaponize voter rolls, healthcare records. Security clearance applications that you can build. A profile for every single American citizen. And you can use that for fraudulent voter registration, identity theft.

Or targeting Americans for recruitment. by China. You know, people like Tim Wolse.

So he's already been recruited. That is significant.

So, it's not just about them getting the data, it's also about how it's used. And they released some emails that were very heavily redacted. Lorraine has a lot of this up at. Substack. By the way, chapter and verse: Trump sounds alarm over election integrity.

This is why getting the SAVE Act passed is incredibly Important. Right. And Yes, it also, there's a lot of this stuff that's already been out there, right? Lorraine went through everything in the vulnerabilities folder. The White House had the release came in four different categories.

You had vulnerabilities in our electronic voting systems, China's acquisition, exploitation of data, the whole nine yards. You need to go read the whole piece, there's a lot there. to process But it's important. We have uh today in stupidity. Kane, what do we got?

Well, it could have been Home Depot in Dearborn, Michigan, where they put up all these. Signs in their store that are in Arabic. That was always fun. But Cut 21, Mom Donnie's got a housing expert out there talking to you. Listen to this.

Our city is turning the corner on tenant power. When we organize, We win results. The Mamdani administration is emboldening us so that we no longer tolerate the violence of evictions as a matter of business, as usual. If you don't pay your bills, well, she's on the left. But you get evicted when you don't pay your rent.

That's how it works. This eviction freezing and eviction equals violence is absurdity. It is absurdity. You don't have a right to live in someone else's property. That does it for us today.
