Well, you know what you tell the Mexican president? Either you do it or we do it. But we are not going to let all of this lawlessness continue to happen. And we can do that by putting special ops in there, by doing cyber, by really being strategic. Just like we dealt with ISIS, you do the same thing with the cartel.

Presidential candidate, former Governor Nikki Haley on the Republican side. Yeah, there's a lot of common sense in there. And I would add to what I was saying yesterday. Welcome to the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez and for my friend Dana Lash.

Dana taking a few days off for a spring break and will be back with us on Monday. Meantime, border issues, since we're broadcasting the Dana Show from her southern command here near the U.S.-Mexican border. I'm almost within walking distance, about 10, 12 miles direct path to the Rio Grande River. Nikki Haley saying, Well, we should go after these cartels. Like terrorists, right?

That's the word missing. And special operations. That's how we deal with. Islamo fascist terrorists these days. We have all these special operations.

Many that we don't know of, a few trickle out, and we find out in the news how Or special forces, they took out this Islamic terrorist. crazy guy. a cell in Somalia took out a leader of Of an Islamic terrorist cell in Libya or Somali, wherever, right? She says, let's go after them that way. But I said yesterday, you designate these individuals, at least several of them, that you want to take out one by one, start plucking them and cherry-picking these individuals, these cartels.

Our government knows who they are. Man, you can't tell me that drug enforcement Yeah. FBI Even the IRS probably just licking their chops. The IRS going, hmm, we wish we could tax some of that revenue that these cartels are amassing. They know who these individuals are.

They know the businesses that they're using as fronts to launder the cash. That's what you go after. You designate them as terrorists. The cartels, some of them, do one by one until they all learn their lesson. Mexico's not going to do anything about this.

Or Governor Nikki Haley saying, Mexico, you take care of this problem, or we do. Because we're sick and we and we have an argument to make on our side. A hundred and seven thousand plus Americans. That died last year. Within the past year, they died because they were poisoned.

Yeah, some of them may have been overdoses, individuals that sadly. They made some bad decisions, got addicted to painkillers. Maybe they had a predisposition to be addicted to painkillers. You're wired that some individuals are just wired that way. Maybe they got sick, got hurt, got some painkillers, and they needed more.

More of a high. They need more juice. And some individuals that were exposed to it, either in law enforcement or the medical community, or just kids exposed to fentanyl, super. Deadly fit than new. 107,000 plus Americans.

I think the sheriffs, several sheriffs' associations in this country are looking at this properly, saying it's time. It's time for the Federal Government to declare A couple, at least a couple of cartels in Mexico as terrorist organizations and do everything within the. The f f within federal power To fight back. Even as Nikki Haley is saying, use special forces to take the terrorists out one by one. Man, that would create an uproar.

My goodness, I can just imagine. Mexico City ain't going to do nothing about this. Governors and Mexico, they ain't going to do nothing about it. They're making money off of all this. Many of them, way too many politicians, politicos, bureaucrats.

South of the border. And Cartelandia, Mexico, they're making way too much money. A little Cut a little piece of the action around here. We call it mordidas. Mordidas is a bite.

Literally, that's the direct Spanish translation. Mordida is a bite. Let me get a little taste, a little bite. of that of that taco, that sandwich. You enjoy.

At Financial Sanders, they're in the pocket of the cartels. That's the truth.

So don't expect them. Oh, but they will be the first ones. governors and south of the border, Mexican President Amblo and say, Oh, they Invaded this country. They do not recognize the sovereignty of our nation. 107,000 plus Americans are dead just on the fentanyl stuff alone.

Yeah. You can put on that methamphetamine, put on that other deadly drugs coming in from Mexico. Mexico can. and should in my opinion if it were in their interest and see If the Federal Government grew the you know what's. To actually enforce law, declare some of these organizations, these Criminal cartels, sex traffickers, drug smugglers, illegal alien smugglers.

If they were to declare them as as terrorist organization. Yeah. And successfully, maybe, I don't know, take into custody or join Mexican Marines and fighting and killing some of these guys. I think the Mexican military, see, they have a in Mexico City. They do have a branch, at least one branch that is.

Beholden Two. A government that is not funded by the cartels, the centralized. government. They do have a military That can patrol the border. See, it all comes from there.

Illegal crossings, jumping into illegal crossers, jumping into the river, crossing. The Mexican border headed this way. It starts south of the border with the Mexican military doing its job. To control All this illegal activity, drug smuggling, people smuggling, sex trafficking, all of that. They don't do it.

Might they if we get a little tougher? I think they would. The cartels know it's possible. Amigo, you probably don't know this, but as a result of what happened a few days back, where you had these folks from South Carolina, they were all in the news, which by the way, where is that in the news right now? Where's the follow up?

By New York-based Glass Towers, the big media. Where's the follow-up? Demanding answers from Mexico City, demanding answers from Washington, demanding answers from. Alex Mallorcas, the chief over at DHS man, I got plenty to say about him as well.

So, where's the follow-up demanding answer?

Okay, what are we going to do about it? Got politicians or Nikki Haley saying, well, maybe we should do like special forces take him out one by one. The Mexican government has the military to patrol the border. They don't. There is no follow-up on what to do.

Fourth South Carolina residents came down here, two killed, one shot, the other one survived. It's all gone. It disappeared. It wasn't going to last long in the news. but every single day by the thousands.

They're crossing the border. And I mentioned Alex Mayorkas, the chief over at DHS. Yesterday, here in South Texas, we had. Border Patrol Chief. Mm-hmm.

And other folks, we got removed, it's all Republicans, though. We had Republicans down here. Robert T is the Border Patrol Chief at the national level. Contradicting Alex Mayorka is saying that there is no operational control of the border. Alex Mayorka is a few days back saying there is operational control.

Honestly, and I'm just going to put this out there for consumption. I was looking forward to speaking with Chief Roller Tees this morning. They pulled that interview last minute. I don't know why. I'm just going to.

Put it out there. A for For public knowledge. I was looking forward to having a conversation with you. But I noticed And I'm sure the higher ups in DC noticed that the the Board of Patrol chief at the national level said that we have no operational control, told Republicans that. No Democrat came down, none of these cowards came down here to address this issue.

All these Democrats will have no shame whatsoever. This this mess belongs to them. Ruler Tiza was down here saying there is no ob confirmed. He said yes, there is no operational control by border patrol on the U.S.-Mexican border directly contradicting what his boss Over at DHS, the chief Alex Merritt said a few days back that they have operational control of the border. I want to put this out there just for observation.

I fear for the future employment of their National Board of Joe Chief. Mm. Because at that level, he answers to higher-ups. I know there was one reporter following T4T's down the hall saying, Should my orkas be impeached? Shouldn't my orchestra be impeached?

He's an employee of Mars. What the blazes do you think he's going to say? Keeping his, gonna say no or keep his mouth shut. He said no. This is a really, really bad time.

And Border Patrol history and law enforcement history on the border is a really, really bad time. to be working in those agencies and be governed and managed. by individuals who have an agenda for Open borders. Speaking of the cartel sidebar mention, I meant to get to this yesterday. There's a group out there.

There was Put out a commentary. They're watching online posts. Violent post. They said that You know, when I saw that. That write-up yesterday.

And first thing I was thinking, well, here they go. We got the left attacking Elon Musk, my neighbor. Yeah, well, he he's right here next door in in Browns.

Well, he's you know, I'm I'm Elon Musk's best friend. We just haven't met met yet. Yeah, he's really literally down the street from where I'm here at the About sixty miles down the street here from McCall, down in Brownsville, at SpaceX. But that group was criticizing Twitter, because since Elon Musk took over and changed all the standards, da da da da da.

Now cartels. Are more active online. According to that report, cartels are more active online recruiting and posting videos.

Well, fine. I took a step back.

Well, first I thought, well, they're going after Elon Musk. And then I took a step back and said, no, you know, they're actually doing Elon Musk a favor. We can. As a nation, here in the state of Texas, which unfortunately we have to now follow up because the federal government isn't doing it, we can, as a federal government, we can. As businesses and industry, and even social media, we can't laser focus on this criminal element and put a dent into this criminality.

That group saying that Twitter is now seeing an increase in cartel. Posting, cartel recruitment, posting, and videos posted by cartels. And at first I thought, well, they just want to criticize and Make Elon Musk look bad because he's got Twitter and he's changing up all the rules. I think it's a good wake-up call, neighbor. Hello, Elon.

Anybody working for Elon? Look into this real quick. Public safety, anti-violence thing going on in your and your code of conduct and your rules will enforce it. You're going after A child porn, they're going after um You know, other postings of violence, you're going after, you know, white supremacist recruitment, you're going after. Islamic terrorists.

Good wake-up call. Yo, Elon. Hey, give those folks who published that. Give them a big thank you. Go look for that.

Tell your people, go look for those cartels. Recruitment Videos. shut them down. That's one thing we could do in the private sector. It's 18 minutes after the hour.

Eastern Time. As far as an active war goes, I'm not going to go there. Incidents happen, and clearly we do not seek armed conflict with Russia, and I believe that at this point, we should investigate this incident and move on from there. But we will continue to exercise our rights in international airspace. All right, that's General Milley, Joint Chiefs.

General Milley, our country not wanting to seek conflict with Russia, obviously. Welcome to the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Gosanche, and for my friend Dana, we get headlines on the way. I was looking at this comment. They're commenting on the drone, the U.S.

drone, Black Sea, taken down by a Russian jet chasing it and probably clipping it. And we've lost that technology. Millions of dollars of U.S. hardware somewhere out there about 1,000 feet. Beneath the water, beneath the surface in the Black Sea.

You know what I'm saying? With Russia going into Ukraine. the much feared and at times revered former Soviet bear, the the military, it's been exposed. as being uh weak. And underfunded, and they're ill-equipped as well.

I mean, that's nothing.

So, even if they wanted conflict with the U.S., Russia ain't ready and they've lost a lot. of the frontline troops as well as a result of Ukraine. All right, Steve, let's do some headlines. And now, all of the news you would probably miss: it's time for Dana's Quick V, brought to you by Caltech. What's being called the world's largest semiconductor plant being built in South Korea?

It is a $230 billion investment. It will be located just outside of Seoul. Samsung is the company taking the lead on this. The announcement coming, of course, is in this country, we even got lawmakers trying to figure out how to increase the number of computer chips in the market. Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has a new gig, will be ambassador to India.

and a quick entertainment note. Did you guys ever see the movie Gattaca? It had Uma Thurman and Ethan Hor! Sci-fi flick. How do I explain it?

Um. The genetically inferior were relegated to menial Uninspiring work, but Ethan Hawke's character excelled and went to space. You got to see it. There's going to be a TV series about that. From South Texas, this is the Dana Show.

Shooting down woke culture. One crazy headline at a time. It's the Dana Show. Chief Ortiz, should Secretary Marucas be impeached? Should Secretary Marucas be impeached, sir?

No, sir. Did you hear that at the end? No, sir. That was my friend, Chief Rawul Ortiz. He's the National Border Patrol Chief.

He was chief here in South Texas. Welcome to the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez. And from my friend Dana Lash, that's what I was referencing earlier at the beginning of the program, closer to the beginning, where Chief Rawul Ortiz from Border Patrol, he and Republican-only lawmakers here in South Texas yesterday. All the Democrats, they bolted.

These cowards, calling what the Republicans are doing on the border a stunt. It's a committee meeting. They had to. They were supposed to show up. All these lawmakers to talk about it.

They're not even willing to talk about it. They want to deflect and call everything that's taking place on the border, created by Joe Biden, a stunt. Just the fact you want to talk about it. Chief Rawul Ortiz, as I was saying earlier. He admitted to these Republican lawmakers: we do not have operational control of the border.

That's a fact. Just the numbers. The numbers don't lie. My eyes don't lie to me. We see by the thousands people crossing the border, millions of them have crossed now under Joe Biden, could be close to 5 million.

Because of Joe Biden being in the White House and his relaxed border policies, and Alex Mayorka is the chief of DHS, who is the boss of. Border Patrol Chief. Rubble or teeth. I fear for his employment, honestly. I just want to put it out there, just in case over the next several days you hear that the Board of Patrol Chief.

is no longer at his gig. It's because the DHS chief has one leftist Willfully blind point of view with an agenda behind it to keep the border open and keep the flow of millions of illegals coming in versus my friend. The Border Patrol Chief Erwill Ortiz, who I know I mean, just my gut tells me this, the man that I know, I believe that my friend, Board of Choke Chief, Rolo Tiz. Cannot speak freely. He is an employee.

I have Alex Majorca. I believe he's vulnerable. He is a lower rank. He's got a civilian boss, Alex Mayorkas. And um With him saying yesterday that we have no operational control, the chief said, Alex Mark is saying that we do have operational control.

He's a liar. He's just being a liar. And confusing folks in the Midwest, Northeast, across the nation, and of course the leftist minded media, journalism, malpractice every single day, not following up, not tightening the screws. That DHS chief. I think my friend at Border Patrol is vulnerable.

So just. Put an ear to the ground. Listen to the news and see what happens in the following days. I hope. I hope he's not.

I hope he can get to keep his job, because we need somebody who knows what it's like on the front lines. to continue providing border security. And our people are underfunded, they're overworked, they're doing the wrong type of work, border patrol. I say our people, border patrol, they're doing the wrong type of work. They're babysitting on the border, and it's a really bad time to be working.

at border patrol right now with this Anate Border Patrol. anti-border law enforcement administration. I'm going to share with you a conversation here and just a little bit stick around. I'm going to focus on health. Yeah.

Hopefully get us all to eat a little better. Had a conversation with Nutritionist-minded author Shelly Loving and What to Eat to Feed Your Brain. That's coming up in just a little bit. Feed Your Brain. You guys that are a little past midlife, I know I got several of y'all tuning in to talk radio on a daily basis.

Information-minded folks, yeah, we're gonna feed our brain. Uh, let's look at the right foods. Uh, meantime, speaking of brain.

Okay. When I read stories like this, I read reports like this, I'm wondering: is this? U a uniquely American And even a uniquely Canadian, American, European, you know, first world problem. You look at the hierarchy of needs, right? Once you go past the daily struggle, to find employment, to sell a skill To gain some wealth, to feed yourself and shelter yourself, then what?

Okay, now what do we do? Oh, let's look inward now. Let's start. I think many times. Let's just start creating problems.

Check this out. New study. is showing that students who threaten violence in school There's so much to unpack there as far as violence in schools and the way schools are these days, but let me just stay on this study. These students who threaten violence in schools often have a history of learning disorders, psychiatric issues. Other studies have.

The profiled shooters at schools. Stony Brook University provided the most recent report that I'm just reading a headline on right now. that this did an investigation into students making threats. research and studying Um Several dozen. Students, 157 specifically, over 20 years.

The span of time is good, and the 157 students were the same. The findings showing that Most young people were making threats had several psychiatric diagnoses. Hyperactivity, attention deficit. Depression, anxiety. There were some signals of autism spectrum disorders.

I've seen I've been blessed and I'm so thankful, God Almighty. I was able to grow up pre-teen in my teen years here in this country, but I also grew up in Mexico, in Mexico, right here across the border, in Reynosa, Mexico. I've seen the poverty. I lived in poverty. I slept on the floor.

I mean, I've had family little shacks, dirt floor shacks. I pretty much have seen it all, and I've seen both. sides of the r rail track. First world, thank you, Jesus, living in the first world. Living in Mexico and walking with mom to the market.

I'm passing the mounds of trash in Reynosa, Mexico that really haven't changed in 40 years. They haven't changed. Still got miles of trash and children that are rummaging through that, like third world. The something maybe to eat, definitely to to try to sell to recycle. all those massive tracks just immediately here south of the border in in Mexico.

Man, I guarantee you. hyperactivity, depression, attention deficit disorder, issues and commentary and debates on you know the autism and how much where the child lands in that in that spectrum. That does not get any attention whatsoever. When you have need, when you're hungry, when you need to. Make a dollar.

We need to put something in the bank. When you when you need to put that bank to go buy some bread for you. You're just trying to meet the daily needs. There's no time to be depressed. Scattered brain, anxious.

You just need to survive. That's why I wondered many times, all these things, everything else has been met.

Now it's time to look inside and create even more problems. And then cripple ourselves to the point where We can't be productive. Anyway, that's what I think. When I read stuff like this, That's the first thing that pops into mind. Come on.

We're so gosh darn spoiled many times. People have no idea what it's like to truly need and be hungry and get up and work all day long just to just to provide. They ain't got no time to think about it. Attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity, and to be depressed. You got to work, man, you got to hustle.

All right, enough on the 17 minutes to the hour. This is the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez. Appreciate you tuning in today. All right, let's.

Do some happy thoughts. Think about food. I'm a foodie. I love food. But what type of food should I eat?

To keep my brain healthy. Here's my conversation with nutritionist-minded chef Shelly Lovin. A write-up in JAMA neurology: one in 10 American seniors are currently living with dementia. Another 22% of those 65 and older will experience some mild cognitive impairment. One of the early signals, perhaps headed toward Alzheimer's.

You are what you eat, and your brain will be, and your brain capacity will also be what you eat. Let me get some commentary, insight from Shelly Loving, nutrition chef and author of the new book, What is On Your Fork? What Can We Eat, Shelly, to preserve our mental sharpness and acuity. Yeah, absolutely.

So, you know, I don't think that we have enough awareness around mental health and it being connected to the foods that we eat, right? We think about doing positive thinking and getting therapy and all that, which is wonderful. But I want to bring more awareness to foods directly also affect your mental health. And so we need to be eating more healthy fats in our diet. I want people to steer away from the low-fat, no-fat diets that were so popular in the 80s and 90s.

Our brain is made of fat, and a lot of people don't know that.

So we're starving our brain when we're not eating those healthy fats.

So things like fatty fishes, salmon, nuts and seeds like walnuts are really good for the brain.

So there's lots of foods we can eat that will nourish the brain. The plaque that develops in the brain that eventually leads or is found in so many Alzheimer's patients, where does that come from? Do you know, Shelly?

Well, I am not a doctor, but I will tell you a lot of it can be stemmed from the foods that we eat. When we're eating overly processed foods, for example, artificial sweeteners.

So think of a Diet Coke. A Diet Coke has what in it? Aspartame. Aspartame is a chemical. It is a fake sugar.

It's a sugar alcohol.

So what it's doing is it's sending all of these fake sugar signals to our body, thinking our bodies are thinking we're getting sugar, which What follows sugar is calories. But with artificial sweeteners, we don't get the calories.

So what happens is our body chases the sugar to get the calories that they're never going to get. That's why they're so addicting. With that being said, it is an artificial sweetener.

So what is it doing? It's starving us because it's not real food.

So, in order to avoid things like the plaque buildup and all of that, we need to really concentrate on an anti-inflammatory food.

Okay, Shelly Loving, nutrition chef and author of the book, What's On Your Fork? We're talking about mental acuity, preserving your brain as long as possible by eating the right foods. Are you a fan of supplements? You know, instead of eating fish, Many people will grab a jar of fish oil or things like that. Are you a fan of that?

I am, but I don't think we need to depend on them for the only source. I believe food is the best source for certain things. And so, if we can at least incorporate some of the foods and get our, then go to a professional, get your blood tested, see where your levels are, and then incorporate some supplements that are recommended by your doctor. But I don't think just, hey, let's just take fish oil and not eat fatty fish is the best answer. Do you swallow some of these supplements?

Okay, so do you tell them? I absolutely do. Not very many. But I do take fish oil. I have dry eyes, and my ophthalmologist said, take fish oil.

It helps lubricate your eyes, which absolutely it does.

So I do take fish oil and I'm a big fan, but I also eat salmon and a lot of nuts and seeds several days a week.

Some of these. Folks that produce these bottles of stuff, they say, well, take this supplement, and you'll think sharper. You'll be more on your toes. Does it really work? I've stayed away from that, so I don't believe any of that.

That there's you could pop a pill and you know, it's marketing. They got to make money, right?

So they can say what they want, and people will buy into it, and that's how they stay in business. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but I'm not saying it does either. But I do know what does work, and that's what you're eating. Again, the good fat.

So we need to concentrate on and tell people real quick, what do you put in the stuff that you cook, Shelly?

So good fat would be healthy oils like avocado oil, coconut oil, and then good healthy fats are also like the fatty fishes, nuts, seeds, legumes. Those are all good sources of healthy fat. All right, Shelly. Thank you. We wish her the best.

She's author of What's On Your Fork, Shelly Loving. The Biden administration. A threatening TikTok. He says he's willing to go He's willing to erase TikTok in the U.S. I don't know how he would accomplish that.

There might be like a black market for TikTok. You know how it is? You tell people you can't do something, they'll find a way to get it. Either way, the Biden administration, Joe Biden threatening a nationwide ban on TikTok. If the app isn't sold, the Chinese Communist Party-owned TikTok app isn't sold.

Man, that. It's too late to turn around. I I have no idea how we're going to fix this. We got a hundred plus million Americans addicted to TikTok. It's the number one app out there, past YouTube, it past everything else a long time ago.

And even so, Think about it. If somehow The Chinese did the kabuki dance and had their company sell to another shell company and do the sign of the cross and make all sorts of promises. Oh, we're not going to be sharing any of these data. Where in places are the servers? How are you going to monitor the service?

We can't even monitor a Chinese viral, you know, virology gain of function lab in Wuhan, Chan. We have no access to that. We have no access to these servers. Whatever they say to follow up on this, whatever promise they make, we cannot verify. Don't trust TikTok.

Tell your kids to get off of TikTok. Erase TikTok. That's the best thing. That's what he should be advocating for. Just remind people: keep pointing to the enemy, the political enemy, economic enemy, the threat, and the surrendering, voluntary surrender of.

I try to catch up on the weekend. I've got some conversations I want to share with you, including. Uh I I think it was a an interesting idea.

That is now being put forward and being enforced by the association that represents all referees at kids' sports, high school sports. Middle school sports. I think it's a great idea. I want to share that with you next hour because this might be one way to push back on. Verbal abuse, violence, sometimes that we see by individuals who are giving a, for example, the parents, some of the fans in the stands.

There's been an uptick of that type of violence of late.

This is a different breed of cat now that's in charge. Yeah. He is right. It is a thanks to Donald Trump. in large part.

And thank you to Donald J. Trump. It is a very different Republican Party. That has learned, some have learned, not to sit down anymore, not to reach across the aisle and then be yanked over to the left automatically. Not to count, not to bend a knee, not to be afraid to be called a racist or a xenophobe or whatever other language, because when they lose the argument on the left, all they have is name-calling.

Welcome to Hour 2. Of the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Yosanches, and for my friend Dana Lash. You want to say hi online on Twitter? You can try the Twitter thing at A surgiotomic.

I've said for the longest time. That the Democrat Party It's not your grandfather's. It's not your daddy's, the Democrat Party either. Heck, I voted Democrat a long time ago. When I was a young college kid here in South Texas, the Texas Democrats, anyone that can be described as maybe moderate or pseudo-conservative, is kind of hard to say that, but if you want to put labels on somebody and just look at their voting record and how they don't necessarily vote all the time with leftist crazy ideology, yeah, you'll find some of those in Texas.

You'll find some of those in Austin at the state capitol. Right now, they're meeting up in Austin. But this Democrat Party today, represented by the National Party, but Folks in DC. All these crazies. Th these lunatics.

I mean, we we have I I just I can't it's The lunatics are running the American Asylum these days. Look at Florida. Look at the individuals that are pushing back, protesting. the fact that lawmakers want to protect kids. From confused parents or parents with a leftist agenda hell-bent on changing the sex of their children because their children say they're they feel like the opposite gender or they feel pretty or they feel like a boy girl saying they feel like a boy and they wish to inject and you got the medic so many people in the medical community that are willing to follow along and you know this gender dysphoria and we're gonna try affirm the gender and you know we have one I don't know who the stupid woman was I saw that video over and over again on Twitter last night at that protest on Florida because they're moving forward in Florida to protect kids Make sure that at the first sign of confusion, which it's natural for kids to try to figure out who they are.

Little tomboys, little girls, little tomboys, little boys who, you know, start playing with dolls. And just because of that, you have some leftist, lunatic, confused, amoral, no compass, no moral compass whatsoever, for some of these parents. They w wish to subject with Many people in the medical community stand behind them. They want to use other, forget using other pronouns. They want to inject these kids with.

gender hormonal changing chemicals and even subject them to to surgery.

Some some idiot I saw last night on on Twitter, some woman out there at the protest in Florida, that they don't they're pushing back on this, uh they're calling it anti-LGBT, anti-trans community. Legislation in Florida. It's defense of children. This is that is child abuse, what's what's being proposed. That woman's saying, we're losing our trans babies in Florida, we're losing our trans babies, and people believe that.

What, just because your kid says he's a monkey?

Well, you're going to start buying nothing but bananas and buying a swing set. Just because your kid thinks or believes, mommy, raw! I'm a dinosaur. Oh, I need to affirm. I'm going to be a bad parent if I don't affirm that my child says he's a doggy.

Mommy, I'm a doggy. I'm going to be a bad parent if I don't affirm the fact that my kid is telling me he's or she's a doggy. That's Yeah. That's lunacy. And they're running.

Big chunks of the American asylum these days. And on the political side, it's the Democrats who own this loot. See, it's crazy. This is not your daddy's Democrat Party. This is These crazy Democrats.

What did Biden say about Republicans? He said, it's a different breed of cat.

Well, the Democrats. Rats are a different breed of rats these days. The political chasm between left and right, between sane and insane, and insane would be on the Democrat side, all these crazy leftists, all these social justice warriors, and anybody in favor of completes Social upheaval when it comes to gender and everything else, that is the radical left. The chasm is so wide now. We can't see each other anymore.

It's just crazy what's taking place. Border security stuff. I saw this up in. headline from up in New York. But comes all the way back to my area of the country.

The border. Mm-hmm. Investigation continuing after Narcan had to be used to revive five workers at the Hackensack Mall. Workers, all women between the ages of 29 and 41. They had been poisoned by fentanyl, overdosed on fentanyl.

Of course, cortels bring in that seven. There's two cortels in Mexico that are pointed to as bringing in about seventy percent, eighty percent of the fentanyl in this country. I don't have much more information. I don't I don't think they were doing drugs, but man, you touch this stuff?

Okay. They'll knock you out. They'll need Narcan to keep you alive. Speaking of Mexican corruption. Yeah.

Here in my market here in South Texas, in the Mexican state, right across the border, this is news that you will not hear top of the hour. I'm sharing this with you because you need to know this. This dates this dates back several years. I mean, we're talking about over a decade now. A former Governor just south of the border, his name is Tomas Yarrington.

Sentenced In a Houston federal courtroom this week. Garrington is 66 years old. And so many different reports and conversations in the courts of his connection to Mexican drug cartels, more than likely providing plenty of wealth to him. This guy was a former candidate for president of Mexico, Tomas Yarrington, former governor of Tamaulipa State. Tamaulipa State, by the way, one of those states immediately south of the border.

The U.S. State Department is warning all Americans don't go to, don't travel to, Tamalipa State, immediately south of the border. That's where the four folks from South Carolina went to. Two got shot dead, one was shot, one survived.

Okay. And we have them, as I said on yesterday's pro, we have them because there's a fifth individual who came with that party who did not go and start calling 911 as soon as something went wrong south of the border. Either way, back to Tomas Yarrington.

So up in Houston, federal court, former governor of Tama Lipa State in Mexico. Yeah. Monitor cash. Man, he's been found guilty and sentenced to nine years in prison. Bought US beach fruit.

Front condos, estates, airplanes, fancy vehicles. Even bought some land here in some of my communities here in South Texas. This is just par for the course, man. And this is what they get to, and they're able to prosecute on the U.S. side because there's U.S.

assets. They can be seas. which goes back to what I said earlier. Don't believe what the White House press secretary says? Don't believe what the White House says?

You declare some of these cartels as terrorist organizations. You can go after on the military side, knock out their teeth, but also on their assets side. the businesses, the shell companies. The companies are using service providers on this side of the board to launder all that. Cartel Cash.

Interesting note that I saw Related to credit card purchases or credit cards that are used to purchase. Firearms. Purchase guns. Uh from northeast, of course. Attorneys General Up northeast New Jersey, New York area.

Report today says that they're banding together calling on major credit card companies to create a code, a specific code for gun sales.

So every time somebody swaps a card and purchases a gun or purchases ammunition or etc, whatever, it pops up as being related to. A gun transaction. There was another write-up I saw a few days back. The gun industry was like, I'm sorry, the credit card industry was like this close. Pretty much on their own to create something like this.

Let's code a gun purchase. That way, we know who's buying guns and buying ammunition. And that way, in the event. We need to provide this to the government. We can go ahead and provide them the names, the list of all these offenders.

Law-abidings. Merch law-abiding. consumers, law-abiding customers, law-abiding gun owners. To be Singled out like this by credit. And you know what?

I would not be surprised if major credit card companies in this nation who were like this close to doing this pretty much on their own. If they heed the call by New Jersey, New York, New York City, up Northeast, these attorneys generals, these prosecutors, who would like to see those codes, American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover. Pledging to add a merchant code for gun retailers. They did that back in September. They said that they were going to hold off on those plans because of a pushback from customers, say, hey, what the hell you doing?

You got no business reporting this to the government. No business in amassing this information, this private information, and have it readily available. Just pulling a trigger, you could be sending that To the government. That's No, you can't do that. And that's the only reason.

That they laid off of this.

So there's a new push by the Attorney General saying, yeah, go ahead and do it. Hey, credit card companies, you guys go ahead and do it. We'll support you. Just keep that on. They're on some of the issues that you need to watch.

Coming up in just uh a few minutes, I'm going to share with you a story from North Texas. I had this for a couple of days, and I had so much information. I should have shared this a couple of days back, but Just an example of How you and I, you know, I got kids. I got a 15-year-old. I got a 10-year-old.

Yeah, if you got kids, grandkids The The internet is a sewer.

Social media, it's a big sewer as well. Not all of it is bad, but there's. There's some bad people on there as well. There's a case out of North Texas. A 13-year-old little girl through social media winds up believing some 34-year-old.

Predator And got in a really, really bad situation. This is a wake-up call for everybody. You guys need to check your kids' devices. Violence, verbal attacks, physical attacks at high school games. at kids matches, soccer, basketball, football.

Those issues, that issue, those incidents, they've been increasing. And according to somebody on the front lines, a retired ref who represents the Association of Referees at these school matches. Verbal attacks, physical attacks have been growing exponentially the past several years. We got a rotten culture, lack of sportsmanship, and bad examples among parents. To the point where here in Texas, we get an association saying, okay, high school, junior high school districts.

You guys don't control your crowds, don't control your parents, don't control these verbal attacks and physical attacks. Three strikes, you're out. Referees, we ain't showing up. I think this is a good example for the rest of the nation. I want to share that audio with you.

Shutting down production at a big plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. They're going through some parts shortages for some of their vehicles.

This bizarre story from Illinois. I'll try to share as much of this write-up as I can, real quick. A former family feud contestant facing murder charges in the death of his estranged wife. Tim Blythe Nick From Illinois, he has been charged with home invasion, two counts of first-degree murder. His wife was found dead, multiple gunshot wounds at her home last month.

The suspect, was arrested this week. See, back in 2019, his family, he, his wife, their family, they were on Family Feud, made an appearance. He said on the show that his biggest mistake. was at his wedding when he said I do. Mm-hmm.

Zeke Elliott and the Cowboys parting ways. Illusionist David Blaine, recovering. After suffering an injury during a performance in Vegas, happened as Blaine was jumping onto a pile of boxes about 80 feet above. The performer is seen on the video falling through the boxes and can be heard screaming in pain. That wasn't part of the performance.

I'm sure a lot of confused people are going, is this real? He's screaming in pain, went through those 80 boxes, 80 feet fell from 80 feet through those boxes, hit the floor hard. Dislocated shoulder. They had to put that shoulder back in place on side ouch. He's reportedly doing well.

That's the voice of Jamie Lee Curtis, actress. Jamie Lee Curtis. She's holding, if you haven't seen this online on Twitter yet, she's holding an Oscar, a statue, an Oscar, right? A little bald figure. And that's what she's referring to.

I'm going to call this they, them, like gender neutral. It's just part of the craziness that, wow, man, you would have told me several years back, this is what we would be fighting in the culture wars right now. I'd have laughed in your face. I wouldn't believe you. Welcome to the Dana Show.

The Jamie Lee Curtis thing reminded me another headline I had here in the stack. Another video I'm sure you've seen posted online on Twitter. Drew Barry Moore. Have you seen her? Drew Barry Moore.

It's like the other day, my wife Daily said, Hey, what's this picture? Drew Barrymore is kneeling. And friend, who's this actress? Hey, no actress. It's like I I think she has a talk show, right, Drew?

And uh she's kneeling in in front of it's a dude. In fact, it's I don't know his name. I don't care. I just know he's a very popular figure. He's out there talking about women's fashion and makeup and providing makeup advice.

He's just a happy-go-lucky fellow. He's just, oh, I'm so happy. He's doing his thing. He's one of the more popular. Transsexual individuals these days.

I don't know if he's done the whole snip, snip, cut, cut thing. I don't know. I just, he's like a superstar. I think this might be the dude. that probably made it all the way to the White House and interviewed Had a conversation with Joe Biden if it's the same guy that I'm thinking of.

So this trans. individual, this guy dressing up, you know. Cosplaying as a woman, as Dana properly says. Who's a very popular figure on the social media site, TikTok and Instagram? He posts all these things.

So Drew Barrymore had him on on her show. And There's a picture that has gone viral. She's kneeling in front of this guy. And uh It's obvious to everybody, right? You're thinking.

They've gone full circle. What? The fight for women's equality, women's right to have women's sports. The patriarchy has won, Amigo. As some of those jokes that you see online, even men.

And do a better job being beauty contestants and winning beauty pageants. Not only can they now play women's sports, but they can go in women's beauty contests and win that as well. It's like we've gone full circle where women exerting. Their place. In society, the jump front, in entertainment, you name it, education, everywhere.

They've asserted their place.

Okay, we are, we, you know, I am woman, hear me roar. And now it's down to a little meow, barely. Many of these Women. Actresses Voices and faces that are familiar in pop culture, they're the ones that are advocating and apologizing for all this and promoting it. Amigo, I say don't bend a knee.

Like They're human beings. Folks who are trans and identify as transgender. I don't hate them. You shouldn't hate them. They're human beings.

They're confused human beings. Let's call a spade a spade. Let's call it what it is. They are confused. This is mental illness.

Don't bend the knee. Don't advocate. Don't apologize. Don't try to normalize and celebrate mental illness. Yeah.

anyone wanting, wishing, working, advocating and pushing society to punish me For example, I just, you know, I'm thinking back to what I just said about this guy who's dressing as a woman who Drew Barrymore on her show is kneeling before. They're having a conversation. She's just trying to be sensitive and take in the moment. And she said, but she's kneeling in front of a trans woman. It's a man.

It's a dude. They've gone full circle. The patriarchy has won. Women are kneeling before men again. Is that this this guy's dressing like a woman?

Don't bend to me. Don't normalize. It's mental illness. The agenda for these folks is to And like, I was telling you, he's a dude. They're individuals.

That are out there, so radical in their way of thinking. They wish to impose their language reset by law, and if they had the power to do so. They could come, they could have some goons waiting for me in the lobby right after the show. dragged me away. For breaking the law, I want to impose this.

by edict of law, And force me to say something. You can't impose that on me. You can't impose that on rational. common sense minded individuals. There's some individuals wishing to The twist Forget morals.

What is morally right? What is black and white? Biology, the very standard of science, the very God that they kneel to, they just throw it out the window. Just throw all these cells and all the DNA out the window. Throw the Size of the p the pelvis would throw it all out the window.

Yeah. Anyway, that's one of those pictures out there on social media. Drew Barrymore kneeling from this guy. It's 19 minutes to the hour. This is the Dana Show reporting from South Texas.

As I promised you earlier, a conversation I had with somebody on front lines of being a referee and a policy that's being imposed in Texas that might provide a solution for other states. You guys facing more verbal and physical attacks at those kid games. You got kids on the field playing all sorts of kid sports, soccer, baseball, little kitty football. There seems to be a growing problem of Belligerent parents, upset parents, a bunch of Karens out there, and the dads, the Kevins, that are at times getting combative. Overzealous, potty mouth, parents sometimes becoming violent with these raps.

Well, Taxes is pushing back. There's a story I saw here that New Jersey is also pushing back. Up in New Jersey, they got something called the Penalty Box Act that carries. A prison time. for anybody that you know Falls off the rails, and if it descends into violence on the kiddie sports field, parents might be going to jail.

Okay. Michael Fitch is executive director of the Texas Association of Supports Officials. You know, the refs that, well, Play.

Well that volunteer many times to you know, help out the kids when it comes to all these sports. 15,000 member group. Michael I appreciate the time today, Mike. Is the problem so bad now compared to some years back that that we now need laws for For this, Mike, with threatened jail time.

Well, first, thank you, Sergio, for having me on to address this very serious problem. And we have been witnessing an upward spiral. In abuse, and when I say abuse, I'm talking about excessive verbal abuse. threats of physical abuse and certainly physical abuse itself. It's been on the rise for probably 15 years.

We noticed a really big spike during the pandemic. I think that's Probably understandable. But since then, it hasn't leveled off. It continues. to spike upward at the pandemic rate.

And that's alarming because we are losing officials all over the state in all sports as a result.

So much for sportsmanship. That example mom and dad are providing. They probably also play in sports. I understand that your organization, the Texas Association of Sports Officials, they have this new three strikes rule. Can you describe that for me?

Yes, sir. Each of our officials turn in an instant report any time something unusual happens during a game or a match. We get dozens and dozens of those every morning. We go through each one of them and we pull out any examples of excessive verbal abuse. or threat of physical abuse or certainly physical abuse.

Once a school gets three of these, During an entire school year, not just during a sports season, then they are reviewed by the presidents of our seven sports. And if they agree, if the majority of them agree that yes, this School is exhibiting a culture of abuse. In other words, we're making sure that. That we didn't have maybe a thin skin member that turned in something that maybe shouldn't have. But once we're confident that we've got three solid examples, then I'm directed to notify the school district.

And the school district is given 10 days to submit what their plan is. on curbing this problem. If they submit a plan that we feel is comfortable with, then we will work with them and monitor the progress. if they do not respond to us or if they simply say, yes, we'll try to do better, that's obviously not going to cut it. Then the next notice they get from us is on a certain date, they will get no sports officials at any level of any game in all any sport.

until this problem is addressed. How old is this three strike rule that you put in place now? This is our first year. It went into effect at the first of the twenty two, twenty three school year, so basically since August first. Did any schools strike out?

I don't want to publicly comment on that, but I will say that we've got several that are very, very near. The sports officials, the refs, I think that if school strikes out, that would be big news. Hey, the refs didn't show up because we got way too many belligerent. parents, or maybe too much violence. I think that would be big news.

Once it happens, it would probably scare everybody straight. You can't speak on behalf of school districts, but. And what do they do in order to To solve this issue, what? Just tell parents. Don't go as Have some parents been black?

Well, we leave it up to the school district. And that's up to the school district. Ultimately, it's a school district's responsibility for the conduct of their attendees, their spectators.

So, and we got 1,200-plus school districts in Texas, some of them. very very large some of them very very small so there's not one policy that's going to address all of them. We did have an example in soccer last year Uh that Uh we had a problem and the school district basically did not allow any spectators for the next two home games. The third home game, they allowed only immediate family of the players. And then after that, they started slowly letting more people in And continued that trend as long as the problems were abated.

And that seemed to work very well. To be a sports official a ref That's a special calling. People need to be passionate about stuff like this. How much training do individuals go through? Yes, we have we do all the training both at the state level and at the local.

In all of our sports, we have over one hundred sixty local chapters across Texas.

So we especially give focused training to new members to give them a basic understanding of not only the rule, but the intent of the rule. And then each year our members take an exam. They also have to have continuing education on rule changes and philosophies of enforcing the rules So it's an ongoing process every year. Michael Fitch is the executive director. Of the Texas Association of Sports Officials.

They got a three-strike rule now. If there's too many verbally abusive or maybe even some violent folks in the crowd, parents, or whoever's just not behaving, they got a three-strike rule that if a school district does not properly address this, like a sportsmanship, then no refs will show up. They'll just stay home. Yeah, good luck officiating a game. Do you ever have a bad incident with people in the crowd or or parents or somebody just being just obnoxious.

Well, yes. And I've been retired from the field it's it's been a while, but back in my early years especially as a still in college high school football official, officiating in a small West Texas town and Had our car surrounded by basically an angry mob refusing to let us leave. Back then, those were extremely few and far between. But unfortunately, in 2023, they're becoming more common. And that's the scary part.

I mean, who would want to go out there and put your life in jeopardy in some cases. for just doing something that you love to do. That's not Making your house payment or your car payment, you're giving back to the sport that you love and to the students. The problem starts at the the youth sports level. The clubs select uh leagues that's where Parents and players are allowed to misbehave, sometimes in extraordinary measures.

And that's accept deemed acceptable behavior. Many of these parents are paying a lot of money for their kid to play on a select team, a club team, a travel team.

So they feel, I think, an obligation or a right that they can be like this. And then when they get into when their kid gets into middle school, they think it's still the same. And it just is not. The problem has got to be addressed first in the youth sports level, and then of course we can address it. uh at the uh middle and high school level.

But uh we we we don't it's up to the individual organizations and use sports to take care of business. For every, and this is not unique in Texas, this is nationwide, for every 10 new members we get this year. by three years from now, we will have lost seven to eight of them.

So we're retaining thirty twenty percent to thirty percent over a three year period. It's a pleasure, Mike. Thank you so much for joining us today. He is the Executive Director of the Texas Association of Sports Officials, Michael Fitch. Uh And I appreciate you listening to the Dana Show.

I'm Sergio Sanchez, and for my friend Dana Lash, and we're reporting to you from South Texas today. I. I don't like using too many audio cuts from Janet Yellen. It's just. I know this is very Immature sophomore than me to make this observation, but I'm just going to say it because it's on my mind, and that's what I do.

I blurt stuff out that's in my mind. I just can't stand her accent. I know some of y'all tuning in, you probably hate the fact that I'm in for Dana. Oh, this clown is here. But hey, I appreciate the fact that you're still here listening to the program.

You probably can't stand the way I talk, express myself. I just, I just rather, rather, rather. I don't know how she does it. It's just the way she speaks sometimes, just bugs me. Nothing personal.

I just. If does it bug you? 'Cause I I know her accent. I don't know where it's from, but I Anyway, inflation, yes. Number one problem.

Yes. What's going to happen? Nothing. What's going to change? Nothing.

Likely, probably paying more. For everything that we have to pay for. As I was mentioning on yesterday's program, so this time last year. We were looking at nine close to 9% inflation. Right now, compared to This time last year, it's we've We're now encountering 6%.

Inflation.

So 12 months, 12 months, in the past couple of years, 15%. We're paying 15% more for everything. It's all in the delivery of goods and the production of goods and the It's in the fuel. The lifeblood of this economy coursing through the economic veins is petrol. It's fuel.

It's diesel. And it's expensive to pay for all this fuel to send products to market or produce products that need to go to market because it's so expensive. The anti-fossil fuel, anti-oil mindset of the Biden administration, and don't let them fool you, this whole Alaska project that they have. All the regulations, everything from little motors and pumps and everything that needs to be used for extraction, the slow walking of all these permits, the advocacy, this No Craziness, the zealots that are advocating for this climate change, got to wean ourselves away, got to shut off all the fuel pumps, oil pumps. It's not helping and it's keeping the money bags.

It's keeping the investors On the sidelines, they're not pouring money into petroleum extraction, increasing the inventory, because they see no guaranteed return in the near future, next two years, four years down the road, because of the energy policy in this country that has a ripple effect in everything else. I appreciate you tuning in to the Dana Show. Hey, catch the podcast version later in the day. Producer Steve will get to condense everything, and that way he can catch up to speed with the day's news. On the business front, I saw this headline.

That was great news. You know, in California, voters, I found this very surprising. California, months ago, Voters in California said that Uber and Lyft Needed to be They needed to keep their contract workers as contract workers, not absorb all these employees. All these workers as employees. You catch my driftwork because if you absorb these contract workers as employees, then you need to offer all the benefits that are mandated by state law, whatever federal law, and start keeping from them a certain amount to pay for the health insurance.

It's costly to provide health insurance and retirement plans, whatever it is that's required of all these businesses. Contract workers, they don't show up. Do a gig, do something, work and get a paycheck, and you figure it out. You go buy your own stuff. By thousands upon thousands of employees at Uber and Lyft, and by extension, a whole bunch of other companies that are also rideshare companies, and food delivery companies, and you name it, all these folks that work on contracts, the side gigs, folks hustling, making some money on these side gigs.

Major court ruling. That confirms, reinforces the mindset of of voters in California. See, I think voters in California have it in them to reflect on what is right and wrong, what is more liberty minded versus more statist heavy handedness on the part of regulation and bureaucracy. In other words, vote more conservative. diminish the imposition of state Over you.

They have it in them. They voted for some, what was this thing called? Proposition 22. That Allowed. Uber and Lyft.

To keep their contract workers as contract workers, not absorb them. And lose a lot of money trying to absorb all these people as employees. They said no. to that.

Well, guess who comes soon? Guess, you know. Of course. Politicians, bureaucrats, and tax collectors are not happy with it. An appeals court judge has overturned a ruling from a lower court.

That lower court said that Proposition 22, again, the voters in California saying, Uber and Lyft, keep your contract workers as is. Don't need to be absorbing them, don't need to be spending billions upon billions of dollars to take them in as employees. No, you guys do business the way you believe you need to do business, that all these people doing side hustles. That's what voters said. And a lower court said no.

You voters don't you voters don't know what what you're talking about. That lower court judge, or whatever panel it was, said no, voters in California are stupid. And I I seem to recall other measures that voters have approved in California have been shot down by the courts. In the past. Everything from, I think it was illegal immigration to what the definition of marriage, a whole bunch of things.

The courts always flip what California voters have to say that's more conservative-minded. Either way, anyway, in the appeals court, The courts gay voters and right-sharing companies. A um a lift. New ruling allowing that proposition, voter approved proposition 22 to stand, and it's going to allow ride-sharing companies and their apps that classify their drivers as independent contractors.

So, very good news on the business front this week. Stick around because I'm going to share with you a conversation in a little bit. I had with The creator and the CEO of a new company news outlet called Americano Media. It's an all Spanish product. But it is liberty-minded, it is conservative.

Yeah. Reinforces and advocates for traditional values, for people with a more compass and common sense, for people who advocate for capitalism. Free markets, prosperity, hard work, education, all that. You know, the Latino culture that is conservative, but many times the Spanish speakers are lost because they got uni visión. All these other Spanish networks, literally lying to them or advocating for leftist failed policies, Americano Media is an answer to that.

So I'll share that conversation with you in just a little bit.

So stick around. Last hour, I mentioned to you a case that, man, this one should scare you. Mm-hmm. North Texas A thirteen year old child, a thirteen year old little girl, on social media, having conversations with a thirty four year old man. FBI and police got involved after this thirty-four-year-old.

Jorge Ivan Santos Camacho. Had been chatting with a 13-year-old girl from North Texas social media over a period of time. And as I red-flagged this when I was reading this a couple days back on my program. Mm-hmm. Over a period of time.

This does not look good on this child's. And maybe it's grandma, maybe it's mom and dad, but This is, I say this to you here on the Dana show. God bless you, Dana, for this nationals. Stage. Mom and Dad, the gist of it, the point I want to make, you guys need to check your kids' phones.

You need to check their tablets, their little laptops, their computers. websites that they have been visiting, the the chats, the the communities Even on the gaming side, they're constantly talking with other gamers, other people. They have no idea who these people are. Old guys pretending to be little girls, or young girls sending naked pictures to them, trying to entrap. These Young man.

Protect your kids, protect your girls, protect your boys. From the internet, you need to check and see what's on the phone. This 13-year-old girl. In North Texas, snatched. By this thirty-four-year-old man.

This dude He drove to Dallas. From far, far away North Carolina drove to Dallas. convinces thirteen year old child to go with him. And by miracle, of some of these doorbell cameras and other. Property cameras, they were able to find a description of the vehicle.

I'm guessing they were able to also trace a license plate. There's cameras everywhere. those surveillance cameras in the neighborhood. gave the FBI and the police investigators A very good look of the vehicle, the information that they needed to know to trace that vehicle back to North Carolina, Davidson County. 34-year-old Jorge Ivan Santos Camacho taking this 13-year-old child, this little girl from North Texas.

He kidnapped his child. Put her in a shed. Restrained her, tied her up. Rape this child.

Now, and she's being returned home. It's a miracle that they found her. And it happens all the time. But I I thank God my My wife, mama, she will. The other day we were talking about this.

Yeah. I I told you, I've got a 15-year-old and a 10-year-old. And yes, they get full access to the internet, but no, we're constantly asking and checking and privately grabbing my 10-year-old's computer, seeing what websites he's on. My 15-year-old, who are you talking to? What pictures are you sending?

What pictures are you receiving? Mom and dad, you have to do that. I know it's time-consuming, but. The devil is in the internet. That's right.

I mean, it sounds like the mama from Water Boy. That's the devil, but it's. Those predators are out there. They hide behind pretty pictures and And other profiles that are And their intent is to snatch your children, take them with them. You may never see them again.

or put them in a compromising position, and this this is this happens quite often. How is it that children in our country, first girl, how is it that little girls, our children, get involved in the sex trade or sex exploitation? It's because These punks, whether they're here, like this guy from North Carolina, or they're in Africa or in India, somewhere else, online. They'll exchange pictures. They'll get Embarrassing information, and they will force them to either send money or send more pictures and put them in a worse.

Position before to the point that was that was a story about a month ago I was reading of a football player. I forget where it was, but this young man, he was so embarrassed by him, because I guess he had shared some naked pictures of himself. He was fooled by. one of these trolls, one of these predators. And he was threatening to Send that information to his family and friends.

This was just a young man, beautiful young man. Committed suicide. Mom and dad, check your kids' phone. You're paying for the for that phone plan. You paid for that phone.

It's your phone. You check that phone, you check that tablet, you check that laptop. Always be vigilant. You have to be, because no one else is going to do it, it's only you. It's 19 minutes after the hour.

This is The Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, reporting to you from the KURV Studios in South Texas. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick V, brought to you by Caltech. The Dana Show from South Texas. Steve, I didn't start the timer.

Just holler at me and we'll get you. Help me land the ship. Young, unmarried American couples are moving in together at a record rate.

So, say the folks over at the Census Bureau running the numbers, saying that more than 11% of Americans ages 18 to 24 that'd be Gen Z. About 11% of Gen Z folks are now living in sin, shacking up, living with each other. The biggest share ever in a demographic. 3.2 million people in our country, Gen Z. Money is a big motivator.

So, people saying why they do this, 80% say they're saving money, about a thousand bucks each month. United Kingdom Their government banning TikTok, their phones, for all politicians, ministers, civil servants, employees in the UK government. Just the latest salvo in the war against TikTok. Chinese Communist Party owned TikTok, if you didn't know. Another pharmaceutical company lowering the price of insulin.

There's a note this week from Danish drug maker Novo Nordisk announcing they will lower the price of their insulin product by about 75%. Satellite internet firm Viasat expanding its deal to provide in-flight Wi-Fi to Delta Airline and customers going to be able to service thousands more. And this one is worth repeating as I closed last hour with this one. More than two tons of natural uranium are missing in Libya. Folks with the International Atomic Energy Agency are working hard to try to find where those 10 barrels went.

But it's natural uranium, right? They don't know how to cook it yet, right?

Well, I hope not. From South Texas, I'm Sergio Sanchez. This is the Dana Show. Of all your favorite talk hosts, one of these is not like the others. The Dana Show.

Says anything about this crisis with SVD and other banks, does that concern you in the way that things were in 2008? And does that spook members in trying to figure out what is the right course of action in these circumstances?

Well look, I have faith in President Biden, Secretary Yellen and the Federal Reserve. They have all hands on deck to manage this and keep our economy sound. Yeah, step down Schumer, or as others would say, Chuck Yu Schumer. Yeah, had it and he led with Joe Biden. Notice that?

Had it been a different president, I wonder if he would provide that same vote of confidence for everybody else, the Treasury Secretary, the Federal Reserve, and so on and so forth. Thanks for joining us on the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Stantes. Chuck, don't do not. Put your faith in man.

You're going to be disappointed every single time. I think had it been a Republican. The President Administration. Man, he'd be talking all sorts of smack right now. I have no confidence in the Reserve, no confidence in the Treasury Secretary, but hey, it's his team.

That's at the wheel right now.

So speaking of this Bank stuff. In fact, I was looking for it, I could not find it, I had it in my stack stuff here. I could swear I saw a write-up. That said that that um Silicon Valley Bank was up and running again, doing regular business operations. I guess every I guess they sold it at auction to somebody who picked up uh the All the real estate the bank owns and all the employees and their continuing operations.

After all, Look, like 10% and and I got this from It was Dave Ramsey who was Um Waxing eloquently on this. I'm telling people, just you guys calm down. Just kind of like all these people that lost a bunch of cash in this. They're a bunch of Democrats and Silicon Valley people. They've put way too much money in there, prospecting, and they lost their millions upon millions.

It was 90% of that. They were just. Wrong investments.

So about 10%. Of the customer base was folks who had their accounts covered $250,000 or less. Credit Suisse was in the news this morning. $54 billion lifeline from Switzerland, $54 billion loan. They need to pay it back, but they put a bunch of cash in credit suite.

Now the news of the day, of course it's Tournament time. It's the big dance starts in earnest. I know they played a few games already. Among them, the surprise for us, a smaller campus for the Texas AM system, Corpus Christi, just north of me. Anyway, sixteen games.

tipping off in the first round of the of the tourney today. Right now, in fact they might be starting up some of these games. All number one seeds, Kansas, Alabama. Houston. In action.

And it's the Crimson Tide taking on the little C one of the little Cinderella teams so far. They only won one game. Texas, AM, Corpus Christi. I hope they keep winning. Beat the Crimson Tide.

A sports note I want to share with you. I had this in the s in the pile yesterday. I didn't know this about. QB Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is like a mushroom psychedelic science expert.

He's like into hallucinogens. They call this dude a plant teacher. He's that an expert. When it comes to mushrooms. He was at this uh did it happen already?

Oh no, it's coming up. Aaron Rodgers, QB Aaron Rodgers, who, by the way, I think wants to go play with New York if they can figure out how to pay off his contract. He's such an expert in psychedelic sciences, mushrooms. He's going to be speaking mid-June this year at In Denver, At the Psychedelic Sciences Conference, Mr. Plant Teacher himself, so the QB stuff doesn't work out for him.

I guess he could be I guess he could be dispensing selling mushrooms. You're listening to The Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, joining you from South Texas. I want to share with you a conversation that I had earlier this day. With the founder and CEO of a new media network, News Network.

It's pretty much all Spanish right now, but we'll be. morphing into Spanish English. We call it Spanglish English as well. Americano Media, hoping to cater, hoping to serve truth, conservative information and news to the Latino community in this country. Attention conservatives.

There's a new media outlet. This time they're targeting a fast-growing segment of the population that is conservative. That be Latinos, Hispanics, from all over the place. Ivan Garcia Hidalgo is the founder of Americano Media. Great pleasure and honor to meet you, Ivan.

Good to talk to you. Tell the audience a little bit about yourself. Who are you? And then segue into Americano Media. Tell me that vision.

Absolutely, Sergio. Hey, thanks for the invite. Very, very honored to Be on your show, very important part of the country that you serve.

So, thanks. You're here. About myself, what can I tell you? I'm just a regular guy, sir. A guy that that that just refused to give up, a guy that Refuse to quit.

And one of those guys that probably you and many others said we needed to have a Fox News like Network in Spanish, and nobody was doing it.

So I decided, hey, what the hell? Let let's let's go do this. I think. It's been long enough for at least 20 years that I recall. We've always been talking about somebody's got to launch Fox Suzanne Spanish.

And lo and behold, here we are. It's a T V network, right? Is it on cable? Is it on satellite? Where did you position Americano?

So we launched last year in March, we launched on Sirius XM. and realize pretty quickly that Latinos are not on satellite radio. They are on terrestrial radio like stations like yours. Right. And uh so we off lo off ramped and and and and, you know.

terminated our relationship with Sirius XM. and moved on with Odyssey in a syndication deal.

So we're on terrestrial radio. Um in Miami, right here, New Utah, 790 a.m. And on Monday, we actually expanded our terrestrial radio footprint with iHeart.

So we're going to be in Orlando tap in Jacksonville. We're also going to be on their digital app where we're going to have our own channel.

So we're going to be streaming our direct signal there. Uh we're gonna have uh you know all of our content and podcasts. And at the same time, yes, we have television. That we are slowly bringing up. We're going to have 18 hours a day, which is what we have right now on radio, is 18 hours a day.

from 6 a.m. to midnight. And on T V is gonna be also six AM to midnight, but different programming. T V programming versus radio is as you know, are two, three hour blocks apiece, right?

So on T V. You can download our app, iOS, Android, on Over-the-Top Streaming. We're on Apple TV, Google TV. Amazon Fire. And Roku.

So that's just the beginning. We plan on expanding that to other places like Samsung Place and Pluto and many other series. You bet.

So we're pretty excited. It's wonderful to see on the internet TV, the free TV, all these new channels that come out. And in fact, even our own Dana Lash, for example, is just one of many contributors on Pluto, for example. And you'll see her there, and you'll see her on, I think, the first. Yep.

My guest, Ivan Garcia Hidalgo, he's the creator of Americano Media. It's nothing but Spanish, right? Straightforward Spanish, 24-7, radio, and of course, you're working on the TV version of it. That's correct. But we do have English, so we've had two sit-downs with President Trump.

We've had General Kellogg, we've had Governor Abbott, we've had Senator Lee, Senator Scott. We we we we've had plenty of of English speaking guessed So what we do is we can't push out the radio So we put it on our app or on T V as video and we captioned it in Spanish.

So there's going to be a combination, but yes, I would say 90%. is going to be uh Spanish. But we are going to start moving to Spanglish. Which is a lot of fun and certainly to some content in English, right? As you know, our people, uh, you know, we speak Spanglish, right?

So we do that all the time.

So How where it matters. Yeah. How receptive is the market? Where you can monetize this and let's pay salaries and grow the network. Tell me on the business front, how are you doing?

We're doing great. We've raised over twenty million dollars. We are in the process of our next round of funding, which we plan on raising somewhere between thirty five and fifty. Have tremendous interest in doing that. And on the monetizing, we're pretty excited.

I mean, we're getting CPMs that are very, very high. you know, especially on the podcast side. On the radio side right now, we're starting to see the ratings pop up and jump up in Miami, beating all the other incumbents who are there. uh to becoming you know the number one station in Spanish talk.

So You know, we believe that that that model is going to replicate across the country. We're talking about you know, Bakersfield, Vegas, et cetera, et cetera. I I wanna I wanna lurch toward that, the difference in demographics and in the markets. Ivan Garcia Hidalgo, he's the creator of Americano Media.

So let's talk about the difference in demographics. cultures One thing I have to explain to friends in media Hispanic, Latinos were not homogenous. And we're all over the place. That's right. We got folks coming in from Cuba and Venezuela these days that are clamoring for liberty.

and capitalism and freedom. And we have economic migrants coming in from Central America, you know, gaming, the asylum thing, trying to get in for jobs.

Southern California, we have second, third generation Latinos that are embarrassingly promoting communism, May Day marches, all these communists in California. Man, we're all over the place. Tell me about the challenges and trying to cater to that and advocate for a free market, liberty-minded message. That's a great point.

So let me walk you exactly through that.

So we paid Tony Fabrizio, one of the country's best pollers, right? He does Wall Street Journal polling for President Trump. We did a poll for 1,200 registered Hispanic voters nationwide.

So across all of those demographics you just mentioned, a tremendous amount of data. And actually, I have I'm going to get you that poll sheet. Oh my goodness. Thank you. Fascinating.

Yes. Fascinating. And you see one thing. English dominant Hispanics, we vote Republican. Spanish dominant Hispanics vote Democrat.

So here's here's what the so this here's the answer. Where do you get Your information mostly from. 1,200 Hispanics responded, 41% said Fox News.

So, what does that tell you? That there's no information in Spanish. That's why they vote Democrat. Because they only get information from Telemundo, which are Marxist regimes. I mean, that's what they are, right?

They're Marxist organizations and they're an embarrassment. And that's what they've been peddling and pushing to our people all across the country.

Now we have a Merigano.

Now we can sit there and talk to our communities and show them the sharp contrast. between capitalism And Marxism, which has failed over 100 times in 100 years. And exactly the ideology that all these people are running away from and coming to America. Hello. They'll come to America and bring the same garbage that destroy those countries, right?

Man, that's awesome. I I wish you the best, brother, and more power to you uh as you try to expand this network to the especially the Spanish speaking population in this country that needs a wake-up call. They ran from it. Or their next generation, their parents ran from it. They need to defend the liberty that they or their parents ran to in this country, the Shining City on Hill.

Ivan, thank you for what you're saying. That's exactly right. And hopefully, we'll have you on the air on a Medicamo soon. All right. No, you don't want me, dude.

You know when they say face for radio? Yeah, that's what you get over here. Thank you, Ivan. Ivan Garcia Yidalgo from Americano Media. I think one of the Public services that Amedicano Media and other outlets that wish to do the same.

The same is to hyper-focus, repeat as often as possible the failure of communism, Marxist. Ideas Communist ideas in the Americas. The destruction of Venezuela, for example, the prosperity that they once enjoyed in Venezuela from mineral rights, the oil, the minerals that they have there, they destroy the market, quasi-communist, statist, heavy-handed market control, price control, they destroy the Venezuela economy. Yeah. And as many of them Many fellow Latinos have come to this country.

I think that one of the public services from Americano Media and others focused on the failures. Of statism, focus on the failures of centralized decision-made, focus on the failures of communism. How many times has it failed and how deadly those mistakes have been through the years? How many millions have lost their lives under statist control in these regimes? Yeah.

Focus on parents choosing schools, better schools, protecting the family unit, protecting traditional values, protecting their religion, protecting their children. Do all things legally, including entry into this country, promote market prosperity, speak the language. A freedom-loving people, liberty-minded people, and in this case, that demographic, the Latinos. By the way, just a quick mention: here in South Texas, where I'm bringing you the Dana show from today. Our local one of our local congressmen, Vicente, they call him Cente, Vicente Cente with a liberal gente, liberal people, Vicente Gonzalez.

Although by Democrat Party standards are crazy leftist standards today. They they would call him a moderate, but anyway, he's he's the target of the National Republican Party now. National Republicans gonna pour a bunch of money into the the seat that he represents. The Republicans you guys remember a few days back the celebrity Maita Flotis. Young woman, Mexican.

Born, reared, young, might have flored as superstar. She became for a few months because she won a special election. Republican won that seat first time ever.

Well, Vicente took that, Vicente Chinta took that seat back, and our Republicans want it back. And there's going to be battle royals, going to be a big fight to get that. Texas 34 seed bay. And it's going to happen I think if How many kind of media and others properly message Liberty and repeat those programs for Spanish-speaking people? This is the Dana Show.

I'm Sergio Sanchez reporting to you from South Texas. Listen to the Dana Show live on the Odyssey app, weekdays noon to 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Catch the podcast version, a condensed version of all this audio, the Dana Show on a regular basis. Producer Steve, all the gang, they'll put that.
