My baby Gen X self is real. This is Ed Sheeran. And um I've never really listened to him. He describes himself as culturally Irish, but he's a British guy. He's the guy, and apparently, so I was reading about him.

Welcome back, by the way. With the whole McElmore thing, because it was the promoters that were like, we can't have McElturt out there, like, you know. I think it was really nice that Ed Sheeran gave that poor homeless man that wears everybody else's grandpa's clothes a slot on his tour. And then McElturd's like, these people are here for me, I guess. And decides to blow it all up.

And because he sucks as a songwriter and generally as a human, he decided to try to make it all about himself and try to jumpstart his career that hasn't had like one hit 15 years ago and he's tried to jumpstart his career and just really rude, just incredibly like, what a POS, right? Anyway, so Ed Sheeran, a nice little guy. I don't know if he's little, but he seems super nice. And I read about him, and apparently he is super nice. He donates like tons of money to charity, does all this charitable work, and he seems like a very soft he's a very soft spoken British person, Kane, although that had an Irish twinge to it.

And there's a reason why.

So Ireland hates him now. I don't know why Ireland hates him.

Well, it's one. Is it one station cane or is it the whole. Is it all of Ireland? No, it's just the one, it's a classic hits radio station.

Okay, so why is the media going, oh, Ireland hates Ed Sheeran now? They're going to take a shalely and hit him on the head. I mean, what is... Short answer, it's the media. It's the media.

Okay, so. They're mad at him because the promoter dropped McElturd because the venues were like, can McElturd stop? Not performing and instead going on a political rant for a half hour, people paid. to not hear this guy scream. And so yeah.

So they The station It's a classic hits station in Ireland. that decided we're not going to play his music any more, we don't like him. because he was mean to McElturt and they decided to drop his music. which I'm sure he's going to go crying to his millions of dollars about. And, um Then That's it.

But why I just don't understand why it's being made to sound like all of Ireland hates him. That's silly.

So they had. He had all of his supporting acts, including Phineas, who's the guy who uses his sister as a vocalist. Phineas is the guy who writes for Billie Eilish. It's Billie Eilish's brother. And they all withdrew, in solidarity with McLetherd.

And Then Uh Even Sheeron's cousin Jethro, whoever the hell that is, said that Sheeron was a gutless coward. Why? Because he's not. Retarded? I don't know.

I mean, I really don't know what else to say here. Um They're not mad. But by the way, where were all of these people when Jewish artists were being canceled? You know, if if free speech is a big thing to you, where were you guys when they were going after Gal Godot? Where were you guys when Jewish artists were being cancelled?

Where were you guys at when any of that happened? Oh, you were! Because it's not about free speech. You guys are just a bunch of terrorist simps. That's it.

You guys are a bunch of self-indulgent, half-witted, talentless terror simps. That's all you are. It's not about free speech for you people. Stop off with that. Nobody believes you.

There's no genocide in Gaza, by the way, either. Nobody believes you. This is ridiculous. I I this is And he's like the nicest guy ever. This was not his decision.

Did they expect him to just stop his tour? Good heavens. I don't, I don't know. This is, are you serious?

Now Steve goes, you're going to. What do you mean, Steve, that I'm going to like this take? Cast the quantity.

Somebody apparently rang the dinner bell for the heifer named Rosie O'Donnell, and she decided to come stumble in from the green pastures to give you this hot take and cut 18. Thinking about it and you know McIlmore has done more for this subject than anyone. Uh Mm. By the way, he dealt with Everything about this. What he said initially.

Not offensive. Oh, it wasn't offensive when he dressed up as a Jewish person. What are you talking about? There's no equivalence. I'm not going to make it this way.

You know.

Okay, I can't watch this because it's turning my brain to mush. It's giving me mind aids. I can't deal with it. Nobody cares. Rosie, nobody cares.

Like, who's? I'm just going to get up. I haven't even combed my hair yet. Juan made a really good point that he hates the fact that somebody's always forced to pick a side. And that's true.

What if you didn't want to? What if you just want to perform? Stop trying to bully people into having a side, especially if yours is the retarded one. Stop it. Stop it.

And you can get mad at me all you want to. I'll just get louder and meaner. And I promise you, I will outlast you. This is so stupid. I feel bad that they're picking on him, and all of these people that are weighing in, we're the people with spines to say something publicly to the opposite effect.

Right? It's okay to not have a take. The only reason that McEltur does this is because nobody would give a rat's backside about him. They wouldn't care.

So he does this to stay in the press. He does this as a substitute for music. He could write a better song, but that would probably involve him having to spend his own money to hire a bunch of other session musicians to write more tracks for him because that takes like four or five people to write one song for him. Ed Sheeran can do what McEltur does with just a couple of pedals and a mixer and be on stage by himself. In fact, he does do that.

There are times that he will go out there, and I always am super impressed when people do that, right? Like they'll create percussion, they'll create the beat, and then they add like all of the other elements to it. And then by the end of it, they're playing a full song and it sounds like they get a full backing band, but it's just amazing what people can do. But you don't always have to have a take. You don't always have to weigh in.

You know, there can be elements of either mystery or just not making everything about politics. This is not about people in Gaza. This is about conquering. That's all this is. This has nothing to do with people in Gaza.

If any of these rat bastards actually cared about what happened in Gaza, then maybe they would do more to hold Hamas accountable instead of giving them money. If these people actually cared about anything that happened in Gaza, maybe they would do more to stop other countries from funding the terrorist entity that has done all of this Hamas to its people. if they actually cared. But they don't actually care. And if this was about free speech, they would have been speaking up with other, when other Jewish artists and other actors and actresses.

when they would have been speaking up. And they haven't. They haven't at all. And that's what's so ridiculous. That's also what's so ridiculous about this.

I mean, this is, I don't know, this was a guy that dressed up as a Jewish person and got on stage to do the Hitler salute. That's it. And he does this at all his shows'cause it's nobody pays attention to him otherwise. But it's not about free speech. And it's not about genocide because there is no genocide.

I don't know how many times we got to talk about this. There is not one. You can get mad at me all you want to for saying the truth, but I'm not going to lie to make you feel easier in your evil. Not doing it. I'm not compromising myself for your blackened soul.

No. People have got to stop this stuff. This is, it's just dumb. And they pair it the same Hamas propaganda every single time.

Now you remember when everybody, people went at Galgodo just because she was Israeli. They try to get her kicked off movies. She had to drop out of the Venice Film Festival. You know why Gal Godo isn't at the Venice Film Festival? Because she got bullied by a bunch of anti-Semite bigots and she couldn't appear.

There was remember that was all in the news. Let me pull this story up, because I have this in my notes. The um They bullied her when they yeah, she had to pull out. Because people were mad. She was in the she was did a movie called In the Hand of Dante.

And Galagodot had to pull out of the film the Venice Film Festival because all of the pro-Hamas simps attacked her. Where all the people for free speech for Gal Godot? This is nothing at all about Gaza. This is about people who hate Jews, and they put on the robe of making it about Gaza when it has nothing to do with that. These people just hate Jews.

Let's just be honest. These people would be in Hitler's youth like that if they could. And we all know it's true. We all know it's true. It's not about free speech.

Did McElturt ever stand up for Gal Godot? Why are you so silent? Did he? No, he didn't. Did the classic station in Ireland?

Oh, it's an Ireland classic station. They're not going to play Ed Sheeran. We'll play him on our show then. I guarantee we have more of a reach than whatever crap lucky charm stations in Ireland. Oh, I can get real mean.

And when we get mean, I'll get meaner. Probably isn't part Irish.

So stupid. This is so dumb. I mean, we could sit here and go through all of the different Jewish actors and actresses, Jewish musicians, Mattis Ayou, when they've gone after Mattis Ayou. They like they bullied him off of bills. This is so stupid.

So it's not about free speech. This is about control. This is about propaganda. It's not about any of that. And it's sure as hell not about the people in Gaza.

Where was McElturd when Hamas was shooting people, going to get food trucks? Where was McElturd when Hamas was taking 20 to 40 percent off of every conversion when people were sending money into charitable groups and they were using it to buy more munitions? Where was he then? Where were any of these posers? Vapid posers.

That's all they are. Where were they then?

Nowhere to be seen Nowhere to be seen Where are you? Wow Where were y'all when you had Hamas like start digging up irrigation and pipes and fashioning? Explosive devices and storing them in schools. Where were you guys when it was discovered that Hamas' HQ was in the hospital basement? Of the biggest hospital in all of Gaza, right there in Gaza City.

Where were y'all at? Nobody was saying that's wrong. Maybe you shouldn't use civilian areas as cover for your terrorist activity. But not a single one of these people have ever said anything to that extent at all. None of it.

And they also didn't say anything. after October 7th either. In fact, I dare say that they're probably happy about it because, again, they're a bunch of bigots. This isn't about any of the things that they claim. It's literally just because they hate Jews.

They go after people simply for being Israeli, and that is it. It's not enough. Ed Sheeran. Has done nothing, has said nothing, and they're going after him simply because they can't bend his knee. That's what this is all about.

So if they can't, if they're trying to bend your knee, lock them. If they're trying to drown you out, get louder. And I hope he doesn't. I hope he does not bend his knee. That'll make it 50 times worse.

Because if you think this is going to go away just because he does that, you're so, you are so dumb. You clearly have not been paying attention. He's going to be in Texas, apparently. I'm like, should we go and see him in Texas? I mean, it's not my jam, but you know, heck.

That I did win the best gig ever. Hosting the Dancing with the Stars official podcast. Woohoo! Get ready for all the inside scoop from the cast.

Alright, well let's get to work. Behind-the-scenes secrets and more from every episode. That was smoldering! It's gonna be iconic. All my dreams are coming true.

Dancing with the Stars official podcast. New episodes every Thursday on Disney Plus and Hulu and wherever you get your podcasts.

Some days, it's the little things you look forward to most. And with Pepperidge Farm's thoughtfully crafted cookies, there's always something worth savoring. Maybe it's a milano made with premium chocolate between two delicate biscuits. A sausalito baked with rich milk chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts, or the simple buttery goodness of a chessman.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. All right, so we got to talk about the economy and the interest rate and the Fed and what's going to happen as we go into next year.

And there is nobody better to ask than our good friend Charles Payne, who I think is the smartest. On the airwaves about this, and you can watch him making money with Charles Payne weekdays, 2 to 3 Eastern on Fox Business. And he's very generous with his time. Don't forget his new book, UndeniableWindfalls.com, which we're going to talk about. But he joins us now via video.

Charles, my good friend, always so good to see you. How are you feeling? How are you feeling about everything? I mean, I. Introduction.

Well, you deserve it. You are welcome, my friend. I want to just chop it up with you while we got you because I know you're getting ready to go and do your own program as well.

So we're grateful for your time. Tell me a little bit about what is happening with this projected GDP growth because we're at, I was looking at my notes, looking at all of this last night. We're at like, what, 5%? It's is that real? actual measurable I mean is that real sustainable growth or is that Is that like government spending?

Like, what do you attribute that to? And is that going to carry into the next year?

Well, the nominal growth of five percent, six percent, it definitely will carry into next year unless we shoot ourselves in the foot. It's a combination of things, right? It's so obviously government spending, as much as we talk about the forty trillion dollars out there in debt, That money goes somewhere, right? And it permeates into the economy. But of course, the big difference maker has been this AI revolution, the data center building.

It's just been phenomenal. It's been a massive injection of jobs, the reindustrialization of America and higher paying, by the way.

So it can certainly go on. And in many ways, this is just the very beginning of it. Look at some of the things Elon Musk is going to do in Texas and Louisiana. Just almost every single day, there's a new deal being cut. Yesterday, Amazon cut a deal with Gennarak.

And so all the major players. are still putting their ducks in a row. And in many ways, this is the very, very beginning, unless we mess it up.

Well, hopefully, we won't. I mean, Trump's saying that he wants rates at 1% or lower. Who's going to win that fight? He's not going to get about 1%. I was hoping that you would say, yeah, that sounds great and doable, Dana.

Well, you know, my big beef with the Federal Reserve is the Federal Reserve. It's, I just don't see, and I've been studying it for years, and I'll keep studying it. Maybe I'll have a Eureka moment. But, you know, you think about what's, you know, they say inflation. Think about what War said.

More said that the economy, that their job, they want to help sustain the economic The economic strength of America. How do you do that by putting up speed bumps, by making things more expensive for the average person? And a lot of times, economists talk about the consumer, like there's just one giant consumer and their pockets are flushed, right? And yeah, so we do have pockets that are doing extraordinarily well. We do have pockets that are struggling, but their actions and they're working off an old set of rules, an old set of assumptions.

I'm really hoping that Wartz can come through with these study groups. And change the way they go about doing the business and Jackson Hole. admitted, hey, I'm going to use the current system, the status quo, because that's the status quo. But if you can change the way they go about doing business, how they look at things, how they interpret inflation, how they measure it, and how they deal with it. Then I think we may get a a friendlier Fed.

Friendlier from Main Street, not Wall Street. Yeah, this this whole thing with Worsch and the host and the and the hot I guess the hostility or the contention between Trump and the Fed and everything else. Is that is that damaging Trump's credibility, you think on his pick in the eyes of the public? How do you interpret that? It's a tough one, you know, and I think this is why I think in the last 24, 48 hours that you haven't heard Trump.

I think Kelchia, one of them, they had a big thing on how quickly he'll give him a nickname. I don't want to hear that nickname. You know, and uh And so Trump has come out and said, listen, he still backs war. She thinks he's got a hostile board. And he does.

Um So yeah, it's going to be hard to find someone. who's who's come up to the academic world. The academic economic world. They believe we should have more immigration, even if it's illegal immigration. The things that they believe in.

Uh, that the average person thinks is just nonsense or crazy, or just you know, night and day.

So I do believe, and I spoke with Wars before he got the job. There was a big gathering, and I spoke with him, and I spent a fair amount of time with him. And he convinced me that he's got some amazing ideas. His job, of course, is to get him through. You know, to be able to change this, right?

This was set up for the wealthiest of the wealthy. And that's who they work for. They work for Wall Street. And somehow, and it's hard because we don't have a voice in this as American citizens to get them to work more for Main Street. Yeah.

You had mentioned the AI fight. I want to go back to that for a minute because it's been so, we were talking all about this this week, and it just seems so weird the timing of a lot of these narratives that are coming out. Like all of a sudden, you got Bernie Sanders and everybody coming out warning about AI. And it's like there's a fight over that messaging. But.

With this push that's coming from the left. Where do you think that, that fight is headed in terms of regulation? I mean, what is the market risk if Washington decides to get super aggressive about this? And right as it's driving so much of this rally, Right. The risk is a massive implosion to the economy.

We lose our place as the number one country in the world. Uh, if they go with massive regulation, teach your children how to speak Mandarin. This way, at least they'll have a better relationship with their bosses. Um, it's, I'm telling you, it's it really would be catastrophic, absolutely catastrophic. But here's the thing.

You know, I went through Dario's essay and he put up three things. He wants an independent regulator. He mentioned a company that he has deep ties with.

So, does this cult that Sam Bankman-Fried was involved in, effective altruism? People have to dig deep and know what's happening here. This is nuts, okay? He talked about getting democratic countries to get together and put together rules. How dumb is it?

You know, that we would ask France and the UK and Germany to have any oversight on AI. They missed out on it. They have giant welfare economies. They have no money left for research and development. If you build a better mousetrap there, you're going to be taxed to death.

They make more money in technology taxing American tech companies than from anything that they do organically. And we want them to regulate our growth. That's nuts. Then he went a step further and said, well, maybe we could also get China involved. China in 2017 put out a communique and they made it pretty clear.

By December 31st, 2030, they want to be number one in AI, and they're doing everything they can to get there. And by the way, the same year, Vladimir Putin said: whoever's number one in AI will rule the world. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he did, and that's a scary, and that's a very good point. It's a scary thing, and it's a very good point that these, I did not realize that they made more by taxing our innovations than anything organically.

I mean, I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad. I think the number one private tech company is OnlyFans. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my.

Yeah, we definitely do not want them involved in regulating this because it just, I mean, it's an indication of acumen, right? They haven't demonstrated it.

So why should they have a seat at the table? I mean, I'm all for the United States. Trump's right on this. He's right on it. This is nuts.

This is like saying a UN, we should go to the UN and ask when we can deploy our military. Yeah. When can we use nuclear weapons? You know, it just, these people did not have our best interests at heart.

So it's just, it's farcical. You know, and so. People say then why the hysteria? You know, there's a lot of reasons for it. This regulatory competitive moat that maybe the Anthropic and OpenAI need.

They're no longer the only ones who are doing amazing, innovative things here. There's another way of going with these AI labs called open source, and it is more open. They're closed. It gives them more pricing power. It gives them more power.

And overall, they like to somehow stave off that herd. They can hear the hoofbeats in the back. They know that these guys are catching up. And if they can put a moat between them, just like anytime you hear some of these big businesses saying, yeah, we need more regulations, what they're essentially saying is if we can get enough rules out there, no small startup could ever compete with us. They couldn't even afford the lawyers that it would take to figure out the regulations to compete with us.

Yeah. Wow. I want to switch gears, ask you about oil prices because those fell as bonds and stocks had rallied. How are these three connected? I mean, is the falling price of oil, is that doing more to calm the markets right now than anything coming out of the Fed?

Yeah, but it's going to have to fall a lot more. You know, we did see a tumble, right? It went from 120 to 68 when they had the memo of understanding, and it went down quickly. Uh and so the what's hurting us really more than anything else is diesel at a record high. Because everything that we touch, everything we use when we go to the store was driven to the store with diesel fuel.

This is a tough one. This is hard to get around this. Obviously, in hindsight, maybe President Trump should not have taken his boot off, shouldn't have let up the pressure. Because with that memo of understanding, Iran was able to collect billions of dollars, reconstitute some things. And it was a massive mistake.

It's just going to take. Grinding it out, you know, and that means economic pressure, which is working. And by the way, you know what's interesting with this latest move in oil. The strait, more and more ships are making it through the strait, but every time there's a negative headline, like the Houthis took over a small island, it's all over. That's moving it so so.

A fear is moving markets Well, there's the commodities market, the stock market. Uh Bonds right now than fundamentals. And those just this happens from time to time, but it doesn't linger long. Fundamentals usually win out today.

So, yeah, we need some sort of resolution in Iran. There's no doubt about that on the oil side. And in the meantime, Bond yields are up in part because of how strong the economy is. And one thing no one's talking about is for since in 2009 and 2019 in particular, these the biggest companies, and we call them the Mag Seven, right? These big, big companies, they made money hand over fist.

More money than ever has been made in the history of corporations. And what they did with that money is they would buy back stock, they would buy bonds, they spread it around.

Now, because the race is so intense. They not only are spending all of their money, They're raising money as well.

So you have the number one provider of liquidity.

Now the number one consumer of liquidity. And there's only a small amount of lenders out there, and they get to command higher rates, higher yields, rather, whether it's from bonds or from corporate debt. Yeah. I know we only got you for probably one more question because everybody, Charles is going to go do his show here coming up. Your new book, Undeniable Windfalls, How One Stock Can Change Your Life.

That is a very provocative subtitle for a book, my friend.

So I wanted to ask you, what is the core windfall? I know I want you to give away the book because I want people to read the book, but what's the core windfall that you're telling people? You're telling investors, don't miss this right now. Wh uh what would you tell them?

Well, I think there's a lot of names. I think as we speak right now, there are probably two or 300 names in this market right now that would be up more than 100% over the next year. Wow. The key is: how do you find them? And when you buy them, you have to buy enough of it so that if it goes up, let's say 200%, it changes your life.

The problem right now, Dana, is that everyone listening to this has NVIDIA in their 401k. They've got Apple in their 401k. These are like stocks that are up a gazillion thousand percent. But guess what? They're not millionaires because they also have another 400 names that are doing nothing.

So this is something that's intentional. It's something that hit me personally.

So I've got personal stories in there, what I've done with my own portfolio in recent years to get greater windfalls. And you don't have to worry about being overdiversified or trading the market, that kind of stuff. Because the biggest mistakes come day to day when, oh, it's scary out there. I'm going to sell a stock. And next thing you know, you look a month later or two months later, it's up.

And a year later, it's even higher. And a year later, it's even higher. You say to yourself, why didn't I hold it?

So this is a way of you knowing how to find them. when to buy them, and how to hold on to them. Not letting price, the fluctuations of share price, be the main thing that motivates you. Everybody needs to go to school and get this book, Undeniable Windfalls. You can find it at undeniablewindfalls.com as well.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. We need to talk about some of the pulling and some of the GOP stuff.

Okay, so er. Couple things. The, for whatever reason, the polling, and I think it has to do with immigration. The polling for the Hispanic sector of the voting bloc. It is not encouraging.

So far there's been three that I've seen and they all say the same thing. For instance. The there is a huge Uh Opening right now. I mean, when you look at the Senate race, Tallarico is taking more Hispanic voters, which is. Not like what happened in 20 for definitely not like 2016 either.

And there are also some other surveys coming out that. The it it's like the swing of Latino voters. It's like the pendulum is going the other way now. and it's working class Latinos, and I think it has to do with immigration. That's what pretty much, which is now explains why you had Representative Maria Salazar, who's from Florida, a Republican in Florida that Trump helped.

She put out this campaign ad going at him over immigration. Watch this because this is the ad that hit yesterday. Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far. In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record.

Be careful what your advisors are telling you about immigration policy. The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today. You can be for immigration what Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. I'm not talking about giving them amnesty. I'm talking about giving them a dignified life in this promised land.

I am Maria Elvira-Salazar.

Okay, I disagree with that, with her premise, number one, and Kane does as well. Also, what do you mean giving dignity? Let's hold up for a second. Are you saying that it's undignified the way that some people who have broken into the country illegally? entered illegally.

And We're very aware that they were here illegally and they know what the penalty for that is with this administration. Are you saying that it's undignified to have that law enforced? Or were they supposed to be given some kind of special treatment? I am confused. Right.

I mean, if we're going to sit here and say that, you know, make up definitions and stuff and say that men are women and all this other stuff, I'll just say this is uber to go back over the border. I don't know. It's also incredibly disingenuous to say that none of these have any criminal records.

Sorry, coming into the country illegally, that's your record. Exactly. Like if you're coming, yes, if you're coming into the United States illegally, guess what? That is breaking the law. That is a crime.

The other countries don't have the systems that we can attach to to see what their history actually is anyway. Exactly. Why are we even? I found all of that to be incredibly disingenuous. But the other thing, too, is I'm not allowing people to remove themselves from the hook.

Of accountability simply because you don't like how it's enforced. And it's actually, I think it could be enforced more stringently, but they're not. I mean, they're simply saying, look, we're going to detain you and deport you. And she's upset with that. She's like, well, these people, again, you come in illegally, you've broken a law.

That's a crime. Unless Maria Salazar knows something about changing the statutory ruling for that, because that's currently illegal in these United States of America. And as a republic, we are either a nation of laws or we are not. You can't say that it's undignified to enforce the law against different subgroups that you might be more aligned with or might favor more than other subgroups. That's simply un-American.

And it's un-American before the Constitution. That the Republic derives its power from the strength of enforcement of its laws. And if you're not enforcing the law, then you're just dismantling the republic. When you enter illegally, the illegally part of entered illegally. indicates that there was a law broken.

And there's a reason why people sneak into the country illegally because they are aware that it is a law that they are breaking.

So I don't know what she's advocating for. She doesn't have any solutions here. She's criticizing the way that he's handling it, but she's not providing any solutions. If you think it's undignified to enforce the law, then what would you do? I think it's undignified to expect people to tolerate criminality in any form.

I think it's ridiculous to expect American people to tolerate not just criminality, but also have their characters questioned if they agree with this enforcement, which, by the way, has been too long coming.

So, I find this to be incredibly disingenuous. Maria Salazar sounds like a Democrat here. And some of the people I know that are the loudest voices. On illegal immigration are Latino Americans. They're Hispanics.

They're people like in southern Texas that don't ever get any attention. It's not all, sorry, I love you, Florida, but it's not all just Florida Hispanics.

Okay. That's what's crazy about this.

So she released this ad. I don't know what she thinks she's going to accomplish with this ad. Because If she thinks that this is going to get votes for her, She needs to remember that whenever There has has been a problem and this is why her ad is toned off. Whenever Groups have left Trump, and we saw this in 2020. And I warned people about this because there were all of these theories about theft or cheating and all this stuff.

And I'm like, look, you had split ticket voting in a number of states. But people did not rea they did not pay attention and they did not take it seriously when all of these warning signs about Trump and immigration were coming up in 2020. One of the reasons why he ended up losing some ground with support groups in 2020 was because he wasn't hard enough on immigration. I mean, we played audio at the time of a Hispanic voter who was saying that he thought that Trump was going to be harder on immigration and he was disappointed that he wasn't. And that was a sentiment that we kept hearing.

I was hearing that from a lot of my audience in a lot of my Hispanic listeners. They were not pleased. They were mad at Trump in 2020. Kane can attest to that. People were legitimately mad.

They thought he didn't do enough. He didn't close.

So that's when he got into office. He really moved to shut down the border, and people were very happy with that, especially Texas Hispanics, who are the predominant subgroup that live by the border in southern Texas. They were very happy with that. Um I mean, they wanted to see that from POTUS. They wanted to see.

Uh Some of this other stuff. There's like they don't think he's hard enough on H one B's. That's another big criticism.

So, when he's literally losing people, and what the media wants you to believe is that. He's losing them because they want you to think that his enforcement is too rough and too mean. I mean, it's not. It's so not rough. You literally have agents getting hit by cars.

They're trying to do everything that they can, but they don't want to be run over or killed, right? You had two instances where a woman literally, and I played the video, tried to hit an agent with her car. And then we had another where a guy decided to go to a protest, literally impede federal officers from fulfilling the enforcement of law while he was sloppily carrying a firearm. He didn't even have a proper holster for it. And he was immediately committing a crime while carrying, which then elevates what he was doing up to a felony level.

And when you can't get involved and impede federal law enforcement operations while you're caring and be aggressive with law enforcement and put your hands on law enforcement while you're carrying, I don't know what reality people think that you're going to get just like a backpack and a Lisa Frank sticker on a progress chart with that kind of behavior, but that's not how it works. And they want to hold that up as look. And by the way, those were white people. A white lady and a white dude. I don't know why this the media narrative and the miss the media malpractice on this is just off the charts.

So her coming out with this ad is actually a very leftist. She's pushing a leftist narrative. It's like she's carrying their bags for them with us. I don't know how that's gonna Work for her. I don't know how that's going to work for her with this case.

because she is getting lit up on social media. I mean, and you've seen some of it too, Kane. She's getting lit up on social media. This whole thing is just ridiculous. And this was after Trump had helped her.

So, what is she swinging back to the left? Was she always kind of on the left, and now she's just swinging back to that? Like, I've got questions. But she, you know, she's by the way, she has voted with him so many times. She voted she voted and affirmed with his enforcement and on his ICE like funding for enforcement with ICE and CBP, she voted for him.

She voted for the two hundred thirty five million dollars in new funding. And by the way, when that happened, When that happened, and that was according to Vote Hub. When that happened, she even posted on X that passing the funding bill was a quote-unquote historic win.

So now she's done a 180 and she's come out with this ad. Don't you think that's incredibly? Questionable? The authenticity or lack thereof, the sincerity or lack thereof. Huh.

I mean, there's a video of her demanding that Congress give more money to ICE for enforcement. I mean, I'm looking at tons of video of her. I'm not going to sit here and. You know.

beat you upside the head with this, but man alive. And she actually did have a soft amnesty push. Back in 2025, she gave an interview with a local ABC in Houston where she had said, and I quote, at some point in the future, another legislator will write another law to give them a path to citizenship. But right now, what we need to do is buy peace and allow these people to stay, end quote.

So she was pushing soft amnesty then. She's all over the board. She's trying to have her foot in both camps. You don't even know where she stands on this because she thinks you're stupid and you're not going to know that she's for amnesty, but then she also voted for more ICE and CBP funding. And she's for amnesty, but then she also demanded that ICE be more aggressive with enforcement.

She's for amnesty, but then she also demanded to dovetail in with ICE being more aggressive with enforcement money for them to do so in a subsequent bill.

So will the real Maria Salazar please stand up? Because all I see is just, you know, political prostituting to try to figure out what camp you're going to hit with the hardest. We've got more on the way as we roll into headlines. The folks who help make the program possible, it's our friends over at Ghostbed.

I might not have won the Mirror Ball last season. That was so fun! But I did win the best gig ever, hosting the Dancing with the Stars official podcast. Woo-hoo! Get ready for all the inside scoop from the cast.

Alright, well let's get to work. Behind-the-scenes secrets and more from every episode. That was smoldering! It's gonna be iconic. All my dreams are coming true.

Dancing with the Stars official podcast. New episodes every Thursday on Disney Plus and Hulu and wherever you get your podcasts.

Some days, it's the little things you look forward to most. And with Pepperidge Farm's thoughtfully crafted cookies, there's always something worth savoring. Maybe it's a milano made with premium chocolate between two delicate biscuits, a sausolito baked with rich milk chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts, or the simple buttery goodness of a chestman.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. Two things.

I'm going to have one dumb thing and one gross thing, and then one really dumb thing.

So that's what's happening right now. The first thing, we had this headline about it: the toilets of tomorrow, right? I am just trying to wrap my head around. How Ma'am Donnie decided to spend four million dollars. Of taxpayer money with a company called Throne Labs.

to install solar-powered bougie porta potties. There's how many did you say there were there were currently counting? There's two up now and they plan on a total of seventeen. Seventeen? That's gonna be great for all the millions of people that live across Manhattan.

And They're the size of a con it's like a box that they drop in a park somewhere. And it's the size of a conventional bathroom, and you go in, and there's this bougie wallpaper. What is like banana tree wallpaper on the inside? And it has like a urinal and then a commode, and then there's a sink and a changing table. They have like a wheelchair ramp going up to it and everyone's like, well, you know, you because you have to use the phone to text a number to get in, how are the less fortunate people going to be able to use it?

I just, I told Kane, the first night this is going to turn into a dye-bar bathroom. And you all know it. And then during the winter, the homeless are gonna be sleeping in there. But what gets me because they say there's a strict 10-minute limit. And I asked Kane, I said, so what happens if it's after 10 minutes?

They literally send people from Throne Labs to get you.

Okay. That's not the lie. That is absolutely true. This sounds like squid games. They send.

people from Throne Labs to get you.

So I just feel like I want to test that. You know, like what happens if you just like decide to camp out there for an hour? Are the throne led people gonna show up? in hazmat suits. Right?

To To go into the Punasium there and like extract you, how does this work? I really desperately need to know that because unless I see it, it's just a threat and it's empty, right? You know, these are going to be nasty. They're little hot boxes. They're little Dutch ovens right there that they drop.

That's Ken. You know, I'm right. You guys know I'm right. I'm saying. But they don't have to hook them up to stuff.

So that's why they say they're easy to just put whatever. And they said that they remotely monitor them with sensors. This is the stuff the left comes up with. Can you guys reduce crime? No, the best we can do is.

The best we can do is a bougie Techno toilet. That's all we can do. They call them a robot toilet, but that's not even right. They I was just I thought that there was gonna be a robot that followed you around like waiting to go, right? Like when you're playing Helldivers and you get the Seif that follow you and they stim you when you need some help.

That might be a reach too far for some of you, but I just thought it was going to be a little robot with a toilet that was going to follow. These are not robo-toilets, these are stupid boxes. That's what they are. Juan's showing you, that's what that looks like. How is that a robo-toilet?

It's not Also, can a wheelchair actually get up that ramp? I mean that looks quite narrow. That is way narrow, right? You can't get a wheelchair in the little box, can you? Right?

No. So, how's it going to work out? I don't know. I made a question. They have to they said that they require a manual cleaning every 11 to 15 uses.

And the contract requires the company to respond to emergencies like people trapped inside within two hours.

So if you get trapped in one of these things, you've got about two hours. Juan's getting ready to show you the inside. I think it's adorable that they try to go with this banana leaf wallpaper. You guys know this is going to be tore up like a Target John in like five seconds. You guys know that.

Like, this is not going to last. If there's anything that we have learned about people, they love destroying pretty things. Right. But this is not a robo-toilet. It is not a robo-toilele.

I take great issue with Gothamists claiming that this is a robo-toilet. This is just a bougie outhouse. a bougie like a Johnny on the spot. That's all this is. That's all it is.

So you have to text a number to get in it. They said that they're going to. I'm sure this is. Listen to how much money they're just wasting here. The the city also plans to distribute physical cards through outreach teams.

to provide access for homeless people who don't have cell phones. Here's my toilet card. You know a homeless person's gonna hold up in this. You're going to have a whole homeless city in these things, and they're just going to take turns swiping the cards over and over again so they never go out over their 10-minute limit.

So the Throne Labs people aren't gonna come and get them. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. It's like pawn stars where they're like, well, you know, I mean, we really need, um, really need some like reduced crime and cleaner streets. Best they can do is a fake robo-toilet. Best they can do.

Pur. It is ev let's assume all 17 get built. Because currently this is a $4 million project. You're going to really make me mad, aren't you? Each one.

Each one of the bougie toilets? $235,294.

So $300,000 per Per thing. Per robo-head. Per Dutch oven. Yeah, per robo-head. Yeah.

Ha. Lorraine says she thinks that'll work for the wheelchairs. I don't know. I don't know. I would try it.

What if you get locked in there and you're in? I don't know. I'm made of questions right now. This sounds like a $300,000 nightmare. Best I can do is a $300,000 hot box.

That's what we got right here. That's it. Can we talk about the people who are not naked, dressed in flesh-colored spanks?

Okay, first off, Kane. I need you to tell everybody what you sent me and what we are going to gear up to look at. Don't put it up there yet, Juan. We got to set the people up because they are going to throw up. I'm sorry.

You know how it is when you're just scrolling around. No. I don't know. You're doom scrolling is what you're doing. You're drinking your Scooby tea, doom scrolling.

I'm doing my due diligence. What is your algorithm feeding you? Or what are you looking at that this is what your algorithm feeds? What should I do for this show? You don't even want to know.

Oh, my gosh.

Okay, so Kane sends this link, and I just. Go ahead, tell the people. There is a uh a variety of people that are dancing in circles in spanz spanks style style body suits, and they're flesh colored. Colored to the tone of their own flesh. And it makes it look like.

They're naked.

So they're not naked, but Juan, so you got to understand, Juan is like the purest, one of the purest life forms on this rock. And he's like, I'm just not putting that on. He's like, the first driven Mountain Montana snow. He is so pure. He insisted on blurring it.

So it's not that they're naked. They're too close to that for Juan. All right. He blurred them. He blurred them.

What is it? You blurred them.

Now listen to the music. And that's not fake audio by the way.

Okay, nobody playing a musical instrument is playing the same thing. They're in spanks. All these people are in spanks. I need to hear, can just we hear the music real quick? Turn up this atrocity.

I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm winning. You know, I'm making it happen.

So like the piano person is like doing God knows what. The guy with the stringed instrument sitting on the edge of the stage, the hippie, is in his own world. I really don't think that the vocalists know how to vocalize because they're just like, eh, I don't know what that is. But Where is this at and why? Kane, tell us all.

Well, it's it's apparently an art display. Wait, what? Yeah, it's an art display. And honestly, I don't know exactly what it's for. I'm sure that the tweet.

Says it, but um You know what? I can I have a I have a question. Yeah. I noticed there were some heads there in the front, like people were seated for this. Yes.

Whatever that was.

So if someone is like, mmm, I'm going to sit down and watch these people in Spanks. Oh, I see. This took place in Wisconsin at the Art of Preserve. It's of John Michael Kohler Arts Center. and apparently this is how they decided to preserve it.

The one of the things I hate about the left is that they make everything ugly. They take art and they're like, that looks too pretty. I'm going to mess it up. And they just. That's not art.

So that is what happens, by the way. Basically, that's what happens when wedding receptions go on too long. That's what you're seeing. Because people are like, I can sing. I can play an instrument.

And then everyone, you know, they that that's what ends up happening. That's this is basically and if that's what it's called, that's actually pretty funny. But it's not. You know that they actually were giving it a really solid effort. But if it was called, and I and I call this the wedding reception that went on too long, that would actually be hysterical as performance art.

But as is, no one knows what's happening. Like the piano, what the hell is the pianist doing? They're like, Playing something entirely different. Then you have this. Like hacky sack hippie.

So you know that's like a whole other sub-genre of hippie. You have like the Who is it, the Chong? People cheat. The pot people, the boomer pot people, okay, those OG hippies. And then you have the hacky sack hippies, which are their grandkids, and they play hacky sack.

And they They're like White people that get dreadlocks, which doesn't make any sense to me, but and they play hacky sack and they smell like smell, they smell just because they use Toms of Maine. Those people, so that's the guy who, what was that, a ukulele? What was even he what? What is that? What is happening?

It is like someone threw a bunch of ideas in a box and chug it up and threw it out, and that's what you have. I just took a peek at the stock market. Eye bleach is really going crazy. Gosh, I need to get into that right now. Eye bleach is really going good.

But who is convinced, like, hey, guys. Um, I have a great idea for performance. Let's put on our nudie spanks. And then we're gonna have our friends, we're just gonna like grab people to make music, and we're gonna do whatever that is. A twerk circle.

A Torker coffee. A twerkle. New word. They created a twerkle. And then you've got the hippie who's like, I'm in my own world.

He's probably like he probably ate a whole bag of the gummies and is like playing his little ukulele. I've lit I don't know how else to explain this. Video Juan is hell bent on not showing you this again. He is, he's keeping it real for the show. He was like, I'm not putting this up here.

He was thoroughly disgusted. He's like. Oh, I love this so much. Oh my gosh. I'm trying to look.

Yeah, I'm saying this is what, but this is what the left does. Nobody knows how to play anything. They can't carry a tune. But have you noticed that's always been the left? They always get like we had the protest video where they were protesting some business a couple of weeks ago, and they couldn't even clap the same.

They were trying to clap and chant, and nobody was like even the same beat. Nobody could even do that. What is the problem with them? Are you able to do that? It's like.

The moment politics are introduced into music, the music just sucks. We're capitalists, God bless America, a great Texas-based company that makes something really good for your heart. And of course, it is the folks, the company human. And it's the company that is behind the Super Beats Choose. This was founded out of UT's Health Science Center.

I'm just gonna be very frank with you. A bunch of science nerds and medical nerds got together and they were doing research on blood flow and nitric oxide for the purposes and advantages of athleticism, right? And Super Beets was created out of this. It's the number one beet brand in America and has been for 10 straight years for a reason. It's trusted by more doctors, pharmacists, cardiologists than any other beet brand.

When athletes are using beets, they're using Super Beats. It's one of the reasons why I like it because it works and they have clinically studied ingredients that deliver two times more effective blood pressure support than diet and exercise alone. Two chews a day is all it takes, right? This is about healthy blood flow, which supports heart health, healthy blood pressure, circulation, daily energy, the whole nine yards.

Now, they have a new flavor out right now, it's limited edition. Just for summer, it's the watermelon flavor. It's per, I mean, there's no added sugar, no added caffeine, no stimulants, nothing in it. This flavor is so good, but when it's gone, it's gone. It's a limited edition watermelon flavor that you can go and get right now at human.com slash Dana.

That way you can get your free 30-day supply as well before they sell out. That's human.com/slash Dana. Hi, I'm Andy Richter. I might not have won the Mirror Ball last season. That was so That I did win the best gig ever, hosting the Dancing with the Stars official podcast.

Get ready for all the inside scoop from the cast.

Alright, let's get to work. Behind-the-scenes secrets, and more from every episode. That was smoldering! It's gonna be iconic. My dreams are coming true.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, this is an interesting story. A New York City nightclub lets you skip the line if you bring in your mom and dad. What? Yeah! It's like Stefan.

It's New York's hottest nightclub. It has everything: dancing, disco balls, and your parents. It is funny.

So it's a nightclub called Joy Face, and they say. It not only encourages people to bring their mom and dad, but it rewards them if they do. You get. To skip the line, bring your parents and you get right in. That's literally what they say.

So, and a parent, it's a New York City village, and it's not easy to get into. Unless you got mom and dad with you. They go really hard on the 70s nostalgia, apparently. And so that's like one of the reasons. They're like, who?

They said it's better when you, and it was named after the owner's mom, Joy.

So that's kind of neat, right? Would you bring your parents to the club? I've been to wedding receptions with my parents. I don't know that I would bring them to the club because That generation is crazy. It's just funny.

Like, you think that you went hard? You don't know what that is, right? I just feel like our parents lied to us. They acted like, oh no, no, we were so good in school. And then you get to a wedding reception or when.

So, like, my family's from a small town.

So, like, when they run into their friends from high school, they're like, you remember when? And then you hear all of these insane stories. And I really wish that I would have known that as a teenager because I would have completely used that against them to my benefit.

So. We are under you. All right, so let's see. Oh, there's a bunch of heated blankets and all kinds of stuff sold on Amazon that have been recalled because you could burn yourself to death. I guess they work too well.

I need one because I like it. You know, I get chilly. Like, no, no, no, I want a little electric blanket. Like, if I'm working in my office in the winter, It's like an exterior wall, and it's super cold in there. And even with the heat on, and I gotta get a little electric blanket.

So I would risk that. I would risk it. I'm telling you. Amazon raises minimum pay for warehouse workers to $20 an hour. And I think that's great.

Take care of the people who take care of you without the government, right? Garbage trucks now have AI cameras to score your house and clock code violations. You know what my stepdad does for Christmas for the garbage, guys? He leaves beer for them with a bow on it. I kid you not.

He gives them Christmas beer. And they take so good of him for years. Like, he's done this for like over 20 years. And they take so good of him. They're good care of his stuff.

Like, they never have an issue with their cans because he pays them off in beer. It's hysterical. I love it. That's his thing. All right.

Also, we talked about the Chihuahuas being part coyote, which they completely and totally are because it makes sense now when you think of it. We also have. A New York New York City is raising. The snow shoveler pay to thirty dollars an hour this winter. $30 an hour.

I don't even think E EM Ts get that much. $30 an hour. To shovel snow, remember they had that big problem last year with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, hand soap is being recalled for potential contamination of antibiotic resistant.

bacteria. Then it's not soap. What is the glue that you're putting on your hands if it's not getting rid of the bacteria. And how does that even happen?

So they're saying they're recalling certain hand soaps. Uh for and in fact four of them Let's see, it's across 15 states. Entercon Chemical Company. It's the Lara Lynn Honey Apple Crisp, the Lara Lynn Feminine Parrot.

So it's a bunch of, it sounds like some bougie off-brands. But they say they gave several different kinds of like sketchy-sounding bacteria that caused bad problems. But those are the hand soaps.

So, anyway, I. Ugh, it's kind of sketch, right? Partners that help bring you the program. It's our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom. Alliance Defending Freedom.

All of this fight, whether it's cultural, protecting Women's sports, whether it is protecting kids, like this one story of this couple that's been fighting the government and wants to trans her kid. or free speech. Or protecting business owners. That's where Alliance Defending Freedom is at. You're going to find them there.

They helped overturn Roe v. Wade. They had a huge landmark free speech victory case in front of the Supreme Court that they won. They're fighting the biggest cultural and legal battles happening right now all over the country. But they have to have help to do it.

Hmm.

Some days, it's the little things you look forward to most. And with Pepperidge Farms, thoughtfully crafted cookies, there's always something worth savoring. Maybe it's a milano made with premium chocolate between two delicate biscuits, a sausolito baked with rich milk chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts, or the simple buttery goodness of a chessman.

So pour the coffee, find a comfy chair, and take a moment to treat yourself to a cookie. Or two. Pepperidge Farm. Have a little taste. So, about the Ed Sheeran thing, Lorraine makes a really good point because she talks about K-pop.

I love K-dramas, and I. The K-pop stuff, I love the pageantry of all of it. It actually is fascinating. But she was like, no, if you pay to see BTS, you're gonna see just BTS. They're not gonna have anybody else up.

If you pay to see black pink, you're gonna see black pink, and you're not gonna have anybody. That's actually kind of awesome. It's pretty baller when you can do that though, right? That's pretty sweet.

So, that's that's kinda interesting. Just just putting that out there.

So, um, yeah, we'll see what happens with that. I really, just, really, really, really, really hope Ed Sharon doesn't bend the knee. I really hope, and I hope he's getting a lot of support back channel. I just find that whole thing to be one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life. Where someone who didn't do anything is the one who's getting boycotted.

Just, that's crazy. That's insane to me. I don't know. Kane is trying to show you guys. I'm just gonna warn you right now.

What are you doing? No, no, no. I'm just setting it up. I want to warn people about the video of the, they are like the worst. It's like Woodland Fae, but demonic.

Right? It does seem like a prior to sacrifice type dance. Yeah, yeah, I'm just setting I'm just setting it up, getting ready to save it, you know, just setting it up. Uh, one last thing uh I didn't get uh uh Abdul al-Saeed had blamed Slavery for health care woes? What?

Yeah, he says if you oppose taxpayer-funded care for illegal immigrants, you're also a racist. He's been here for two seconds. Can we not? Just not and say we did, maybe. I don't know.

Can you just stop? Can this guy just quit? I need him to quit. This is so annoying. It's getting annoying.

It's a video from 2022 where he did I'm we're not time to play it, but we he did this big interview and he was explaining how basically if you oppose everything that he likes, you're a racist and also believe in slavery or something. The reasoning never makes sense with these people. Can I start doing that for me? Like if you listen to bad music, that's racist. Right?

I'm just going to start saying that just to confuse people, especially if I think you're on the left. No, no, no, that's racist. Or that's like slavery. Right. Barrel, the barrel pants, the trend, the barrel pants right now for women.

That's like racism. I don't know why. It just is. I don't like it.

So that's, I mean, I'm just doing what the left does, right? Makes sense. Like high-waisted genes, racism. I don't know why. Because I don't like it.

So obviously, as the left says, that's racist. I mean, that's how definitions work, right? We can just make them whatever we want. There's no bearing in. any kind of reality If they can do it, why can't we?

Right? I'm just saying.

So, wow. And then we also, let's see, next week we're going to get into some of these other transgender fights within the schools and within some of these states because this fight still is happening, these fights. We're going to get into all of that. And I'll tell you about how my town defeated a bunch of Wokery again. By denying this woke group A permit to put on this like woke festival.

It was an alphabet group, and they wanted this. It is not like a group that wanted to hold like some pride event. And I don't think taxpayer dollars should be used for stuff. You know, if it's like about the city, if it's about history, that's fine. But I don't think taxpayer dollars should be used for security for certain things.

But the problem with this group that wanted to have this big pride thing, the last time that they had it, they apparently lied about their permitting. It's like in the Dallas news and all that right now. They apparently lied about how many people they expected so they didn't have to get a permit. And then there were actual photos of some of what was happening there. And I'm sorry, but I just don't think in a suburban area where you have kids, they don't need to see people carrying signs talking about graphic stuff with strap-ons.

Just think that that's probably not appropriate. All right. Today's stupidity came. Great way to segue into what we're about to do. I'm so sorry.

They're not naked. They're in spanks. All right, this was in Wisconsin. It's at the Art of Preserve of John Michael Kohler Arts Center. And this is what they call art.

And by the way, you can thank Juan for blurring out. Juan wasn't going to let this air. Juan's the big winner here. This is real audio. This isn't fake audio put over this video.

So every person who's playing an instrument is doing their own thing. Yeah, and they're doing it on purpose, which is even worse.

So, um That's today in stupidity. I need eye bleach. Everybody. I need to wash my eyes. Let me check the stock market.
