You can't just go after China with a cudgel. You have to say we have to live on this planet together. How can we work together to save the planet from climate change? They're essential in that discussion. How can we try to work together with them on issues where we can find common ground?

Thank you. Just when I thought we were done with this woman, she could just concentrate on her super lefty, quasi-communist Silicon Valley, Northern California. There she is. We got Nancy Pelosi back in the new song. But China.

You know, we have to work together, live on the planet together, work on climate change. Whatever. All right. Welcome to the Dana Show, Amigo. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and for my friend Dana Lash, and as always, it's it's an honor to join you from what I refer to as the Dana Show Southern Command.

We're still in Texas, just north of the Rio Grande, on Blessed Soul, USA. And it's super blessed all, 'cause it's Texas. You want to say hi online? I'll be tagging emails every now and then and the Twitter thing at Sergio Talk and Sergio at K-U-R-V.com. As Nancy Pelosi saying, you can't go after China.

We have to live on this planet together. We gotta work on the whole climate thing. As far as the climate change thing, if you buy into. That religion. Which that's what it is.

It's a religion. It's a cult. It's lunacy. The environment is dynamic. I just want to say something real quick about it.

Our atmosphere, our planet. Thanks to the way God designed it and put it in place, and this little thin layer of oxygen and all the water, massive amounts of water on this planet that can absorb a bunch of this energy and all this green gas stuff, greenhouse stuff is expelled out into the atmosphere by nature, which is what was it? One friend told me, like 97, 98% of all the CO2, all the carbon, we're so afraid of it. Greta Thunberg and Nancy Pelosi and all the left are preaching this religion, which, by the way, I think Greta had to erase some text messages a few days back. I saw somebody make a comment on that online.

Greta had to erase some text messages that, you know, like back in 2018, she said, you know, this little child, this little know-it-all, little daughter of Uber-rich parents from Europe, who homeschooled her and brainwashed her into thinking the planet's coming to an end, you know, that child. It's amazing to me how much they've left. Has shoved that little know-nothing, little high school kid, on all of us. She should, her parents should invest some time in sending her off to learn real science and all perspective and all studies from science. That kid is intelligent.

I'm sure she's very intelligent. But just she's so young, but she's the face and the voice. For all this crazy religion, this leftist religion on environmental change. I saw her little face, you know, because I'm always getting books for my 10-year-old. He was working real hard to become a million-word reader this year.

I'm pushing that boy really hard, trying to get him back on track. But tell you one book I didn't purchase. You know, for kids, there's these little books called the. Who's this? Who was?

Yeah, that's the title. Who was Abraham Lee? Who was LBJ? Who was Kenny?

So on. They show you historical figures and. Pop culture and news figures, and allow the children to read, catch up to speed on current events and history.

Well, I saw Greta Thunberg. And it was at the Five Below store just down the street from my radio station. Why in blazes are they lifting this know-nothing child? Yeah. Wow.

This is is it it's p probably m more testing it. Of how crazy we've become as a society to accept. As Al Gore once said, the great evangelist Al Gore of this whole global warming. Religion is which eventually became climate change. And now they're going back to global warming again, which most recent data doesn't show them.

And if you, if you. If you subscribe to that religion, it's a free country. You can believe whatever the heck you want. Yeah. But I'll tell you what, Amigo.

I'm grateful that's global warming. I'll just I'll put it I'll put it from this perspective. I'm grateful uh it is global warming, they say. It's unstoppable. 97, 98% of it is produced in nature.

Only a smidgen is produced by whatever's coming out of a tailpipe. Or those jets that Al Gore and John Kerry and everybody else is flying around to all these global conferences. you know, the exhaust from their jet planes and and all these Superstars, Hollywood types, and singers and pop culture starlets. They're flying around everywhere in their private planes and advocating for this religion, and at the same time, you know. Punching a hole in the atmosphere, doing their part to get us there faster.

It's only a smidgen of. What's uh really through I'm glad it's warm. Because can you imagine had the predictions Back in the 70s, and I know some of y'all are a little long in the tooth, but we got a lot of young ones. And I appreciate you listening to the Dana Show and listening to talk radio and being information-minded. Keep at it, Onigo.

You go online, listen to the Dana Show, the podcast, listen to other friends and other collections online, and never lose it. Always learn something every single day. Millennial audience. and our younger audience. Oh, you guys, information, mind.

Back in the seventies, Leonard Nimoy spock himself. And some of these news write-ups and Major magazines and studies on how the Earth was cooling. We were headed to another ice age. Yeah. How'd that work out for you?

I say this to you because I'm grateful if indeed The oceans will rise. And Motha's Vineyard, and all those expensive ritzy condos and private properties on Florida's coast, you know, owned by the Uber millionaires, the Starlets, the Singers, the Hollywood type. even some of the politicians. If all those will be under water, I just say hold out. I mean, hold out.

For um the the day The year in the future that they start selling those properties off because they're going to be underwater. We can move. We can pack up and go inland. In China. If the seas will rise and drown all their cities at the coast, because we all gravitate to the coast, we all like the beach, right?

That's why humanity always gravitates to the coast. Easy source of water, easy source of entertainment, it's the beach, the the water you have nearby. We got plenty of crops because all the rain comes on all for many reasons, humanity always gravitates to the coast. If we if the planet does warm up. If it does to the point where we have to run for the hills.

There's plenty of land in China for people to run in on there's plenty of land down here. That were here in the U.S., and I say down here in Texas for us to run to. Between. Where I'm broadcasting from today, which is the studio of KURV Talk Radio in McAllen, Brownsville, Rio Grande Valley. Between this southernmost market of the U.S., like down the street, we're so far south, we got Elon Musk down the street.

Launching rockets into space out of Brownsville. There's sixty miles of empty ranch land, mesquite trees, and all sorts of birds and chiggers and probably some endangered species between. Here in 60 miles between the next little town. And then North Ed Little Town, more, miles and miles and hundreds of miles or more ranch land to be had. Plenty of miles and acreage in the southwest and Arizona, New Mexico, California.

It's all over. There's plenty of land.

Now, at the Leonard Nimoy thing, he'll spot. And his publications, the little specials that he did, had we be free, would we be freezing right now? I think we would be in a world of trouble, don't you think? We need to start creating Ice colonies beneath the ice, and where we're going to get the food, and how we're going to go for food.

Now, just be grateful. If you subscribe to this religion, don't be afraid. Don't be scared. I still don't believe it's going to happen to that. Mm.

cataclysmic level that, for example, Greta Thunberg, I told you moments back. Back in 2018, she was saying by 2023, the earth was going to come to an end, or something like that. Should I go back and release erase that? We're gonna be fine, Amigo. Better global warming.

Than global cooling, the whole ice age thing. Man, I got lots of great. Audio to share with you today. In fact, I'm looking forward to having a conversation. With a radio friend.

I've had him on my program because here in South Texas, Chris Markowski.

Some of y'all, some affiliates, you guys, affiliates, you guys know what I'm talking about. The watchdog. On Wall Street. He's a mad dog these days, probably because of all the craziness in the market and a couple of these banks that are having to be bailed out. Accounts that are $250,000, give or take a little bit, because I think they were paying a little bit more than $250,000 in some of those banking accounts.

But you know, that bank in California, Silicon Valley Bank, that went belly up a few days back.

So, Chris Markowski, he should be joining me in a couple of hours.

So, I want you to stick around for that conversation. He's the watchdog on Wall Street. Federal Reserve They say they're going to be conducting a full review up and down Silicon Valley Bank. Following the fact this thing went belly up late last week, so they're looking at all the supervisors of the decisions that were made, the regulations that went into the managing of this bank. Long story short, Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman.

Saying that they're going to be providing a report, a full report, making it public May 1st.

So they're going to, man, this is like record and record speed and record timing. I I think it's probably just an effort to calm any concerns.

Now, if you've been paying attention and if you're carrying the Danish show live, or maybe just a little bit on tape, so called tape delay, 'cause we don't have tape anymore, but audio delay, a little later in the end of the show. You've been noticing that on this Tuesday broadcast, The markets have been rebounding really strong today. I'm pointing to another headline in the news for today as a reason that maybe the markets are so strong and you got people with a heck of a lot more money than I do pouring it back in there. See if they can maybe in a short term make some money. I'm putting some investments in there.

The Fed There was some there was some commentary. Goldman Sachs, for example. Here's the headline I have on this one. Here's the write-up. One guy from Goldman Sachs this past weekend saying that as far as Federal Reserve rate increase.

Uh the rate of increase um And the the rates, interest rates, likely no longer expected. Uh, in the near future, which be a few weeks from now. all this in reaction to Silicon Valley Bank going belly up late Friday and creating all these jitters and all this nervousness in the market. The quote unquote financial experts Telling everybody, calm down, everybody, sim it down now, sim it down. It's okay, no reason to run toward the bank.

So one thing I'm looking forward to asking Chris Murkowski. I was going to ask him if that new mattress I purchased to stick all my money in is a good investment for the near future. The market's rebounding today. More than likely as a result of interest rates, the price of money staying as cheap as it is. relatively speaking.

There won't be any interest rates coming. Anytime soon.

So, join us for that conversation with Chris, the watchdog on Wall Street. Inflation up. They say the most recent report that it's the consumer price index. Four-tenths of a point, which year to year, though, still pretty high at 6%. And I was talking with another economist friend.

Maybe I'll have a chance to share my conversation with him.

Next hour.

So year to year we're up six percent. Roll the clock back. It's around this time last year. You know what we were saying this time last year? was the annual rate of inflation So just come just stack it up.

9% this time last year compared to the previous year. 6% right now compared to last year. Yeah, I know you're feeling it, Amigo. I just rounded out about 15%. But compared to two years ago, you're not paying about 15% more for stuff.

Consumer stuff this year. 19 minutes after the hour, this is the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez. As always, an honor to be with you. We're reporting to you from the Dana Chill Southern Command in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

For those of you that didn't notice, Florida was doing great long before Ron DeSanctis got there. People are fleeing from New York to Florida and other places. Because of high taxes and out-of-control crime, it's really bad. Not because of The governor, thank you, Mr. President, for doing that.

But it's not because of the governor. Florida was doing fantastically. You had a governor named Rick Scott who did. Yeah, it all starts with Trump's reference that still digging at him, still digging at him. Ron de Sanctes, like sanctimonies, Ron de Sanctes.

Yeah. Welcome to the Dana Show. Thanks for joining us today. I'm Sergio Sanchez and for my friend Dana Lash, and more than likely here the rest of the week with you. I appreciate the chance to share the day's news and some commentary insight from some friends on the front lines of whatever expertise that they have.

It's always a lot of fun to fill in for Dana. Sergio at kurv.com or at Twitter at Sergio Talk. All I want to say related to, look, I know it's primary season already, like really early thanks to Donald Trump jumping in. We got Mike Pence in the news just a few days back saying history will judge. I can't do it.

I'm not trying to do an impersonation of the vice president. But, you know, he said history will judge Donald Trump on January 6th, 44,000 hours of video out there. And you have to wait and carefully edit all. And there was a lot of violence. Absolutely, there was violence.

It was embarrassing what took place. Uh January 6th. But the only focus on a very few of a small number of individuals. That were belligerent and criminal in their behavior and breaking windows and pushing people around and taking swings. Yeah.

This violence was deadly, but not the way the Democrats were trying to spin it. We had to deadly in the fact that it was one. I was like, most of you like a young woman in the Air Force, right? I was in the Air Force. That woman got shot dead.

Well she was not armed. I don't even think she had a knife on her, anything like that. Trying to get into one of the hallways, got shot, killed on the spot. By Capital Please. The narrative narrative on this has been spun by the left way too long.

The revelation of all this new video and l almost the yes, almost the the tour in tour guide fashion. Taking some of these protesters around, police standing around, almost opening doors, and following some of these folks who just calmly walk in the halls. The American people need to see all that. They are seeing all that. They can make a judgment on all that history.

The American people are intelligent enough to see.

Well, it took place on January 6th. I'm not going to diminish the the fact that this was a blight. and a stain. It was the wrong exclamation point at the end. of the Trump presidency.

Despite that, Donald Trump, in my opinion, One of the best presidents this country has ever seen. An outsider, successful businessman, non-politician. Yeah, can you tell by the fact that this dude has absolutely It seems like he has no control. He just. puts it out there full throttle all the time.

and doesn't decide to filter anything. He he can't tell Donald Trump what to do. He's mister Man. He's du dumb man.

Well, fine. All I wanted to say about this, because you've got Mike Pence out there, you know, throwing that. Jab at Donald Trump on Jason's history. And of course, the leftist media love stuff like that. They'll run with it.

Pence even taking a shot at Governor DeSantis, some of his policies. Boys play nice. Uh Boys and girls, play nice. And I'm just putting in my two cents, and I'm so grateful to have this bully pulpit over here on the Dana show for just a few minutes. The enemy is the left.

The enemy are the radical left. The enemy, politically speaking, are Joe Biden and his ilk, and anyone working in his cabinet, representing the radical, crazy, insane left. That's the enemy. Focus on that. One Page that you could take, in fact, you can go into the Democrat Party playbook and tear out that page.

Just tear out that page. On their playbook on the Democrat side, they were in unison during their primary doing what? Attacking Donald J. Trump, weren't they? To them, that was the enemy.

And to this day, they still fear him. They're trying to bring him up on charges, prosecute him for this, that, and the other, just bringing up old dirty laundry, whatever they can to sully his name. To injure him, to make sure that. If and when, and more than likely when he does become the nominee for the Republicans, they continue firing at him. Firing everything at him on the legal side, on threats for impeachment, and looking at J6, looking at old girlfriend porn stars, whatever it is that they can bring up.

They need to destroy him in the mind of many mushy, feeble-minded voters who are really not paying too much attention to what is at stake in this country. It's defeating the radical, crazy left. Play nice, muchachos, because anything you say right now will be and will be held and used against the GOP, against Donald Trump in the near future. And you too, mister President, Donald Trump, Focus on Joe Biden, focus on the radical left. That's what you boys need to be doing right now.

Spoken. by a former South Texas GOP Republican chairman down here. What do I know? What I do know is that In Mexico, he got some nasty drug violence south of the border. And as I was saying on my program just a few days back.

You know this Attention. national international attention to the cartel violence just south of the border. I told you, I told folks here in South Texas, and maybe I had a chance to share this on air with some other market. It's going to be short lived. It was short lived.

It's gone. The cartels like cockroaches, they do not want the sanitizing. Sunlight, light of the sun, light of the media on them. They don't want that. In fact, they apologize.

You don't know this. After those four Americans from South Carolina, two were killed, two kidnapped. Event almost immediately released. It's a miracle they were released because this hit the headlines, this hit national news. Even the White House responded: Joe Biden said this was unacceptable.

What happened? Two killed, two kidnapped. They were released. They even. The cartel just south of the border from from us here in South Texas.

They coughed up five individuals and an apology letter. They don't want any attention. This is nothing new. Yeah. I called a friend of mine, Dr.

Tony Zavalette, the local professor, and he's been writing uh about the occults and drug running for the longest time. He I called him because back in 1989 there was another high profile case. Mark Kilroy was in the University of Texas at Austin, spring break student who disappeared. To some of y'all, this will be something new.

So I asked her to tell me about. That case from years ago, and of course, his new book.

So, there you go, Steve. The spring semester. of eighty-nine began like any other. And I was teaching a sociology class of about 100 students, and we'll come back to why that's important in a minute. Uh in March.

the uh during what they call Texas Week. Hundreds, if not thousands, of spring breakers descended at that time on South Patriot Island, and many of them crossed over to Matamoros. Unfortunately, on this one particular night, Mark Kilroy, a University of Texas, Student. Was abducted by what turned out to be a horrible cult, and he was killed. In fact, he was sacrificed ritually.

And that's what that case was all about. Drug runners, right. They were they sacrificed him for it. That that's right. You have to admit that any any group that would kill people and sacrifice people must be satanic.

They were they were practicing, or at least their leader who died later, a couple of weeks later, was shot by his own people. They were practicing a Afro-Caribbean cult of which he was a priest. He did it in order to receive some sort of spiritual Benefit for his criminal activity, his drug running, or his criminal enterprise? That's exactly correct. In fact, his group had, by the time that Mark Kilroy was abducted and killed, they had already killed as many as 15 local people in the Matamotos area, and it was all for the purpose of his gaining.

Spiritual, so-called spiritual power to primarily protect themselves from discovery from the Mexican police as they were crossing drugs. in the United States. What do you remember as far as how they found Mark Kilroy?

Well, you know, I ha I had a very sobering experience because showed flash the picture of the house, so-called house shack. and Corral were the these most recent Abductees were being held, and it was almost identical to the Santa Lena ranch. where Mark Hildwar was being uh held and that was a very scary And thought that those things now, thirty-four years later, are still taking place. I'm sorry. Wandered off from your quest.

No, it's okay. No, I was saying how they found Mark Kilroy. Where does he go? Oh, okay.

Well, there was a search that went on for him for. for several weeks, it was determined somebody they eventually found to the west outside of Matamoros. And that's where I mean, I was on the Brownsville City Commission at the time, and I recall the sheriff and Mexican officials coming to a city commission meeting and asking me to step out, which I did, and would I accompany them to Matamoros because they thought they had discovered the ritual killing site? And of course, I did that. And I knew a lot about it because I had been studying that, and I had been to Puerto Rico and many other places studying.

Santeria and its valiance. I went with them and of course the the remains of of Mark Kilroy were there Here's His brain. his heart, his sexual organs, Had been placed in a cauldron. My goodness. And that's the so-called Nganga.

which was the cauldron of power of the leader, Constanzo. And so that's how he was discovered. Amazing. It's terrible. Dr.

Tony Savaletta, an old friend, he taught for many years, talking about a case from a kidnapped springbreaker back in 1989 by the name of Mark Kilroy, who was killed in human sacrifice by the occult, by a drug runner, who wanted the powers of this sacrifice for his drug trade. You had mentioned that you were teaching a sociology class of 100 kids back then.

Well, thank you, yes. As a matter of fact, there were three people in that class Who are members of the cult? One was. Sara Alvreta, who's been in prison in Mexico City. In fact, I think she served her term.

I don't know, she may be out. Her sentence was for 30 years. And then two of their Nandas brothers, who were cult members and drug runners, So there were three people in my class who just just yeah, it's it's hard to understand or even believe, but but uh it was became over over time it became very significant. That is amazing. They were in your class.

So what gave it away? Every time that they walked in, it smelled like sulfur? Or what was it that gave it away?

Well, okay, that's a good, a good, a good question. It didn't smell like sulfur. It could have, but this young woman, like any other Texas Southmost College student at the time from Atomotos, was wearing beads. Colored beads, which are common to Santeria and all the other Afro-Caribbean religious cults. And I noticed them, and I didn't ask her.

I thought that would have been inappropriate for me to ask her, why are you wearing those beads? But I certainly noticed them, and I knew that she was somehow. affiliated with An Afro-Caribbean religion or cult, and sure en sure enough, she was. Let me close with some mentions about your book. Dr.

Tony Saval at the Texas Southmost College, University of Texas Brownsville, for many years. He's got a new book, Your Grandmother's Guide to Hispanic Folk Remedies and Advice. Tell me about this book.

Well, you know, I've studied and collected. remedies and and advice. From people who are not just curanderas, but many of them were. To sum in the audience, what is a curandera? That's simply a Spanish word for a person who heals, a healer.

That's all it is. And many of them are elderly women. And so I've collected remedies. And I've published six books now, and this is my most recent. And I thought it was time to get as many of those.

remedies and other folk advice. That I've collected into a book format. And it's a wonderful read. It's very, very economical. It's not very expensive at all.

It can be reached on Amazon or Barnes Noble. Do you mention the take a cold egg out of the fridge and let grandma rub your body up and down you feel better all of a sudden? Sure, of course, all that's in there. Yeah. The so-called limbia.

Yes, that's right. And the VIX, and all that's in the book. The VIX, really, the VIX Vapora people. That's right. In Spanish culture, we grab the little jar or grandma and El Vix, whatever else, headache, nausea, you break your foot, whatever it is, el Vix, grab it, Vicks, and put it on Junior.

Put it on the little kid.

Well, that's exactly right. ingredients in the VIX, a lot of a lot of is menthol and You can lift this. opens up the nasal passages and the airways in the lungs and allows people who are congested to breathe. And so it's it's it's very effective.

So, people will use it for everything. I know, and this comes from an extended family. An eye infection and VIX. Ah! They put it close to the eye, got cut into their eye.

Because they would use it for that would burn, that would burn. We'll leave it there. Your Grandmother's Guide to Hispanic Folk Remedies and Advice: The Curanderas Household Healing Traditions of the Borderlands. Antonio Noe Savaleta, Ph.D., the author. It's an interesting read.

I mean, for the amount of money you pay for it, considering the fact that it took 50 years to produce it, is a good thing. Thanks to Dr. Tony Zavalette. Again, you want to look for his book? Do the DuckDuckGo search or Google search Dr.

Tony Zavalette. The cameras are gone, the networks are gone, the focus. is gone. From south of the border cartel, it's gone, people. I knew it was going to be gone within days.

But it's still there. Pay attention to the State Department advisories. as it go south of the border, if you're gonna vacation in Mexico. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to the Dana show from her Southern Command in South Texas.

But we can get rid of coal much more rapidly. Yeah, good luck with that. I love that opener from Dana. She said, get up at the butt crack of dawn. Speaking of butt crack, he's got, man, Joe Biden, he's got his head so far up there.

This dude's completely, completely lost. Welcome to hour two of the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez, and for my friend Dana Lash, and we're reporting to you from her Southern Command in South Texas, the studios of KURV Talk Radio here in South Texas. You want to say hi, Sergio at KURV.com or at Sergio Talk. I'm scanning to see if you guys get any questions or comments we need to bring on the show.

And man, I appreciate you guys tuning in. I know you're working hard for a living. I know that you're trying to keep everything in the black, everybody living on a budget and making sure we pay the bills, unlike the way things run in government, especially the federal government. Got some. Enlightening commentary from some friends I check in as far as energy or law enforcement or border security or foreign, whatever is going on.

So you stay tuned and join us with those conversations. One of them coming up in just a little bit, if you're on a regular clock listening in right now, about 40 minutes after the hour, I got a friend checking in who's an oil economist because Joe Biden, this little announcement, he's trying to prevent offshore drilling, no more petrol permits offshore drilling. But amazingly, as I got this little comment from President Joe on this one. And part of the news today And Joe Biden saying yes, it's it's an amazing announcement. I mean Look at the region.

He just approved that they go in there and and set up some oil extraction. North Alaska It's in the news, a major oil extraction project. In northern Alaska, oil rich, petrol, mineral rich. North Alaska. And since it is Alaska, first thing popped into my mind, I'm I'm thinking you We're thinking the same thing.

Was the former governor there? Drill, baby, drill, drill, baby, drill. Is Joe Biden saying drill, baby, drill? Absolutely, he is for northern Alaska. And as expected, Okay.

Uh leftist. Tree huggers and environmental wackos is another talk radio friend would say for the long longest time. Yeah, they're wailing and gnashing their teeth, right? For the radical environmental left, man, they want all. Oil.

permits, oil extraction. They'd be very happy if all of it stops, as Joe Biden was saying, coal production extraction stops as well. It's this is a a a contradiction. This duality by Joe Biden. What's going on?

So I just think Yeah. Bam But almost 30 years of broadcasting here in the news thing and commentary side. I just say follow the money. I don't have the budget. I don't have the the the Dana staff, the Rush Limbaugh staff.

And it would take it would take a much larger staff than that. It would take like major billion plus dollar and major New York class tower networks to to do the research on this, but it's in the public interest. I don't know, the way my mind works, I would hope that this idea would spark. And an assignment editor, a news director up in a glass tower up in New York.

Okay, so this project in Northern Alaska has, who are the companies? Let's check the companies and the suppliers that are all involved in this. Hey, and let's compare the names of those companies and those CEOs and those major managers and the regional managers and the regional office, all anybody. Connected. Has any type of financial link.

To this northern Alaska project. Let's check the Campaign donations. For it. Joe Biden and the Democrats. Over the next twelve.

For 24 months. I'm just saying, I think it's easy because those campaign finance reports. are going to be flowing, you know. regularly, monthly. It would take a big staff to go in there and extract those.

I wonder, you know, if there's going to be some special thing or just the recent past, check the recent. Financial donation. One thing that the White House is celebrating is: you know, indigenous people in Alaska will be benefiting from this. One of the first things that popped into my mind when I was hearing this and just incredulous report. That northern Alaska has got a drill, baby drill project.

They're going to be extracting oil in northern Alaska. Compliments to Joe Biden giving thumbs up to this project. I'm thinking, what about? Keystone XL. The thousands of Americans and Joe Biden voting Democrats 'cause Pretty much all these thousands who lost their good paying gigs, who were going to benefit from all these good paying jobs and the insurance coverage that comes from that and the retirement money that comes from that.

All those thousands of Americans keep stole XL. What about them? What about these Americans in the contiguous 48 benefiting and any Indigenous family that they have as well? And isn't all that stuff coming down to us from Alaska? Via a big old pipeline and regional pipelines as well, you know, similar to.

Keystone Axel Where are you, Republicans? I'm still going on Twitter. Looking for you. Yo, Kev. Speaker McCarthy.

Amigos, where are you? You guys should be sounding this at the top of your lungs, screaming bloody murder, reminding the American people on all networks.

Now I'm I I know I hear I'm on the pulley bully pulpit on the You know, top Dana show nationwide, worldwide, but we need this on the networks. We need this hypocrisy, this duality to be exposed. And revealed again, satellite on this. We need top leadership. Republicans in the House and said, We need you guys making some noise on this.

Tens of thousands of Americans lost their jobs. This oil up in in northern Alaska. Going to come down to us via what, boys and girls? A big old pipeline, a regional pipeline. What is it that Joe Biden killed?

Because of environmental concerns. And the indigenous lands. Why don't you cut a check to the indigenous people? from Keystone XL, we probably would have had that direct connection from Canada down to Houston. We prospering.

hand over fist, all these people making money. including the indigenous people, just saying. Follow the cash, follow the campaign donations, I say. the big corporate media with all your staff. Put these kids to do something.

Well take a look at this little finance report. I just think on the other side of politics, this is nothing but a talking point. It's come what? 2024 and all the campaign commercials, Joe Biden out there and Well, he's ill saying, well, Joe Biden tried to increase production, increase inventory, an American supply of natural, of, of, of oil and natural gas. by drilling in northern Alaska, despite what is Yeah, political You know, commentators or critics would say, which is pretty much his loyal left.

Conversation on this coming up in just a little bit. I got my oil economist friend Tim Snyder joining me later this hour on the program. More on that Silicon Valley Bank, that thing going up belly up last week. Here's a little sample. Uh Advertising that these people at Silicon Valley Bank, which by the way, had you heard of, I know, you guys are working for a living.

Had you heard of this Silicon Valley Bank, this S. VB is a little acronym. Have you heard of that before? I hadn't. And I'm just sitting here at the Eagle's Perch.

They're watching all this information on a regular basis. Silicon Valley Bank. A little bit of their advertising. Steve, it's Cut 12. Go ahead, brother.

I think there's a big disparity between the investments in black-like companies than other companies. We want to help close the Latino wealth gap. I want to be able to help them build generational wealth. I love Access to Innovation because of what it stands for. Giving access to opportunities such as training, such as financing, introductions that people would not necessarily get.

This is part of an initiative that everyone is committed to from the CEO down. It's meaningful work that has to be done. My name is Defrisa Serredo. I'm Dave Salvon and I'm happy to be part of Access Innovation. Banks like All other businesses.

What are they supposed to do? They're not the government. They don't have guaranteed revenue. And it's just a little feel-good commercial, feel-good ad that they're trying to help. Minorities and the disadvantaged.

And I saw another write-up that had mentioned that they were hoping to help. Blacks Latinx, which is comical. There's no such thing as Latinx. Women, every company wants to sound good and look good. I get it.

To me, that. To me, it's a turnoff. To be honest with you, if that is your main focus. as a company as a bank where You're telling investors, you're telling. depositors.

You're telling anybody who put their trust in your your bank, your financial institution, that that is your primary goal? Is it who because it sounds to me it That there's nothing more that they will be doing other than to provide the assets you gave them to invest in what many times will be high-risk groups. Not money-making groups. Tell me that the money I'm putting into your bank, tell me that the retirement savings that I have, whatever plan it is for college savings that I have, tell me that that cash will be multiplied in the near future. This whole idea of, yes, we all love to help the disadvantaged, we all want to help.

Hardworking, so-called underfunded, underprivileged. groups and organizations. to give them An opportunity to To do good, to invest, to open up a business, that's good. But that's not the primary focus. That little Silicon Valley commercial you deserved, I'm thinking if that was their mindset.

just trying to look good in the community, being too aggressive in. in areas that might have been more high risk compared to solid investments that you know are big investments you know are going to get major returns back to the bank, to the shareholders and to anybody who trusted to put the money in there. You know, that was one report I noted earlier today. as I was fishing around for information on this thing. There was one report said that the Silicon Valley Bank, like one-fifth to one-fourth.

Oh, so a big chunk of their investment. went into Fake money. Yeah. And they're like crypto. You're probably thinking, well, Serge, probably all money's fake now because we're flooded.

The entire market is flooded with our grandchildren and grandchildren. great-grandchildren's cash, all these federal projects, all trillions of dollars of of new money is not even printed, it's it's only electronics.

So how's that any different from crypto fake Cash. Pretend case. I think there was a report I saw late last week that cryptocurrency had lost like seventy billion dollars in one day after the earthquake of this Silicon Valley bank. This thing went belly up. People started running taking their money out of this thing.

That report I saw this morning, one fifth, one fourth of their investments had got into crypto cash.

Okay. At Silicon Valley Bank. That's more than likely one of the reasons I think it's probably. Confined to Northern California. But I'm curious to find out how much.

Well, what I call real money, like what I work for, my paycheck, my retirement fund, my college savings fund for my kids, yours as well. How much of that is being gambled? By these financial institutions, by the market. in in this cryptocurrency. This fake cash is not existing cash is just ones and zeros on a computer.

Yeah. We called up our Our buddy Chris Markowski, the watchdog on Wall Street. Maybe he has a few comments on this. That's coming up next hour of the program. It's already 20 minutes after the hour.

You're listening to The Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sentius in for Dana Lash from her Southern Command in South Texas. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five, brought to you by Keltech. But Dana Scho from South Texas, I'm Sergio Sanchez, and for my buddy Dana. I was mentioning to you that Silicon Valley Bank.

Just a little note that I put here in the stack. You know the employees at that bank on Friday, the same day they went belly up, Yeah, the employees still receive. Mm-hmm. Lord knows how much money, cumulative, their annual bonuses. Everybody got their bonus.

on the same day that they were going belly guttural.

So what does that say to you about the management?

So there goes the money. It all went out the door. It continues to go out the door. Everybody running on the bank, and they still hand out the bonuses. My goodness is criminal behavior.

Let's see. Oh, bizarre story from New York: a doctor up in New York going to jail for more than a decade. He was prescribing oxycodone for sex, cocaine, and cash. The Lord knows how many people. Howard Out of Glass was giving out those prescriptions and receiving sex acts, cocaine, cash payments.

12 years in prison for this guy. And at the box office this past weekend, it was Scream 644 million bucks. And it was Creed 3, 27 million bucks on its first weekend. If I want to see a fake fight, I was thinking I'd I'll just probably just tune into WWE, the wrestling thing. From South Texas, I'm Sergio Sanchez.

This is the Dana Show. Your one-stop shop for the information you need to fight back. If you're going to have to learn stuff, you might as well enjoy it. The Dana Show. He's absolutely a magnificent leader.

He is Younger than I am, so I don't know what the So I don't know what the problem is, but and But in any event I hope that he will soon make some announcement. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi talking about who else Joe Biden and Actually, her comment would be funny. I'd be laughing at it if if it wasn't so.

So sad and tragic. Welcome to hour two of the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez and from my friend Dana Lash. And after the show, later in the day, and Do what I do on the weekend, I catch up with a lot of audio from the Dana Show. Anywhere you can get a podcast, you can get a podcast, the condensed version of the program, the Dana Show, the Dana Lash Show.

Yeah, Nancy Pelosi. And she has doesn't see what the problem is. Of course, the nervous Ridiculous laughter.

Okay. Joe Biden, unfortunately, sounds like Nancy Pelosi after a bottle of Chardonnay, or maybe two bottles of Chardonnay. And he wasn't drinking anything. At least we don't. We don't think he was.

Some news this hour I wanted to share, and a big hug to all the Dana Show affiliates. You guys carrying the Dana show live. Dana does an awesome job. That's one of the reasons I chose Dana. Yeah.

To cover our, you know, for me here in South Texas, cover our noon slot for three hours. We carry all three hours of the Dana show here at KURV in South Texas. We've been friends for many years now. And for me, it's always an honor to fill in for Dana. But you guys who carry a portion live during the day, well, kudos, thanks to you.

Dana and crew with Steve and my brother Sugar Cane and all the crew behind them because they're doing online work and doing like internet cable channel stuff. They're all over the place. It's wonderful to see how. Her footprint is expanding on line. not just the radio, but also online and on television.

She does a really good job. And the crew they do a really good job catching up with all the the breaking news of the day. And then cutting that down, slicing up for you. There was this report. I noticed, let me call it up again here on my computer.

U.S. drone hitting a Russian aircraft. U. S. European Command saying that it happened in the Black Sea near Ukraine.

The They say that the aircraft maneuvers were described as reckless, unsound, unprofessional. The drone, U.S. drone. Was then taken down by American forces. There are no reports of any Russian pilot, anybody else suffering any injury as a result of that.

Up in DC, lawmakers still moving forward. Against Hunter Biden. and business associates Soldier on, amigos. We need full details, disclosure of anything that was on that. On that.

laptop computer uh on that laptop or that um tablet from hell that that Hunter Biden put for repair. House Republicans getting access to some financial information. Related to Hunter Biden and business people that were linked to him. The Treasury Department. The Greenside Committee some access to some suspicious activity, some suspicious financial activity, all these reports that fire up when a lot of money is moving back and forth or being deposited in accounts.

Treasury Department has agreed to allow the House Oversight Committee access to some of these suspicious financial movements by Hunter Biden and some of his business associates. the activity reports. These are what the banks provide to the Treasury. Yeah. It's not necessarily a Showing any wrongdoing.

It's just it allows these lawmakers and investigators to follow the money. But tr follow this trail of money. who brought that money in, who would deposit it, who provided that money. Which business ceiling? I would hope that it provides information on the business dealings.

Well, overseas, in Ukraine, in China, other suspicious activity that maybe a junior had uh access to as a result of being a privileged political person. Today is Pi Day. It's the and not the delicious version, which is for me would be a cherry pie. That's that's my favorite cherry pie. It's the mathematical constant pi, the 3.14.

By the way, the funniest meme I saw this morning when they were celebrating Pi Day, somebody put that pi day. It's just a fake holiday created by math companies and nerds to sell more math. I would agree with them.

So it's 3.14, and in order to get more accurate numbers around it, you need like 62 trillion digits. after that decimal point, to get closer to what the true value, the true value of 3.14 is. All right, so let's talk about other numbers. What you and I are paying at the gas pump, what This energy policy under the Biden administration has done to inflation, which it all starts with energy, as I've said many, many times. It's just common sense.

You and I have to pay more for energy. We have less money to buy other stuff. And the other stuff costs a lot more money because the other stuff. Was more expensive to send to market because diesel costs are through the roof right now. They still are through the roof.

Hasn't it been crazy like the past several days? But the price of fuel at the pump has gone like 30, 40, 50 cents up and down, up and down over the past four or six weeks. Just crazy. Anyway, I want to share a conversation I had with Tim Snyder. Who, you know, all of a sudden we wake up and we hear this news that the Biden administration has approved drilling in northern Alaska.

Like, what? Let me pinch myself, make sure I'm not dreaming. Really? Did somebody just say he approved drilling? Like drill, baby, drill.

In northern Alaska? Here's my friend, oil economist, Tim Snyder. Amazing, I would say, even shocking news from the oil pitch. Joe Biden is giving thumbs up. to uh a major oil project extraction Project from Alaska, Tim Snyder, Metadore Economics.com.

Hey, bud, help me make sense of this. What's going on?

Why is Joe Biden giving a blessing to this big project up in Canada? And he poo-poos Keystone XL and all these other jobs that are not good enough over here for the contiguous 48. He's got to go to Canada. What's going on?

What's behind the scenes? All I can say is who the devil knows. It makes no sense. It's like they wake up in the morning and Joe Biden, you know, I guess he the MetaMuscle did what it was supposed to do, and he decided, well, I'm in a good mood and I'm going to make it I'm going to make this happen today. It sounds like they're trying to prepare themselves for another run at the White House.

They're trying to make themselves look friendly to the uh on the cons to the conservatives. And so they pitch him a bone, but You know, it's like the Stockholm syndrome is the best way to describe it, Sergio. They slap you. on Monday or on Sunday, and then they try to hug you on Monday. And that's exactly what happened because they, you know, they tightened restrictions that limit.

Even more drilling on federal lands, and then they turn around and grant this one particular project for ConocoPhillips. It makes you wonder. if there's something going on, 'cause none of this makes any sense. Tell me more about that. Portion of Alaska, that northern portion Alaska, and some of the oil extraction taking place up there, what's their capacity?

How much are we getting for this project that has been greenlighted? Which they of course they celebrate by saying that many Indigenous people And Alaska will benefit from the royalties and the blessings of the financial blessings, all the jobs created. Yeah, we sure could have used that over here with the other pipeline, Canada, down to Houston. But okay, enough on that. Tell me about how rich the soil is in northern Alaska and their extraction potential up there.

It's very rich. And this is a six hundred thirty barrel. uh project over thirty years Gill, that breaks it down to about a little over 54,000 barrels per day in new production. That's pretty sweet. They're going to divide that willow project up into three separate drilling sites.

And they're going to, you know, do the process. Remember, we're just now starting. Congo Phillips is just now starting on on the process of what they're going to do. It's probably going to take six months, minimum, maybe even longer. I probably would bet on longer to get things moving forward and start producing.

But I'm going to tell you, that is a very highly oil rich a part of the world, something that is The minerals are owned by the state of Alaska, and that the citizens of the state of Alaska get the benefits from the sale of that crude oil. You know, that it's good for Alaska, it's good for their citizens, it's good for the US because it is US crude oil, but you know, uh fifty seven thousand barrels uh a day in uh in production when you're producing in the lower forty eight. you know, twelve point two million barrels per day. still kind of a drop in the bucket. All that comes down to us by a long pipeline, right?

Yes, sir. It it certainly will. It certainly will. And we've got that Trans Alaska pipeline right now anyway. We'll use that infrastructure and it's it's something that we've needed to do.

But I'll tell you what concerns me the most, Sergio, is is that I've been watching the backers use RigCAN, and that's a terrific barometer of Of where we actually are in growing our industry and growing our. Energy security in this country. And we continue to slip, and that is bothersome to me. We're not slipping in big numbers, but we're down two, we're down three. every week, which tells us, and sometimes we're down eight or ten, but what that tells me is that it's getting more difficult to do these projects, it's getting more expensive to do these projects, and it's taking significantly more time to get these projects.

And we're not replacing wells that go off line or play out as readily as we had been in years past. Should roughnecks in Texas and other places, other oil patches, so should they be seeking employment up in northern Alaska? I mean, it's a long drive. I'm sure that they'd need more personnel up there for this new project.

Okay. Very much so. And think about this: this is a guaranteed 30-year project.

So, you know, they're going to need roughnicks. They're going to need tool pushers. They're going to need, you know, drill hand, rig hands. They're going to need all kinds of things and people that have experience. And I'm going to tell you, this is very hard.

harsh, a very harsh environment that you might expect. And so they pay well.

So, I would imagine we're going to probably see some. You know, some of those folks that have either left the Permian Basin or are staying in the Permian have decided, you know what, I'm tired of burning up on an oil rig down here in the Permian Basin. I'm going to go up and figure out what it feels like to freeze every winter. The cynic in me wishes that somebody with a big fat news budget could actually look at campaign donations for all these Democrats over the next 12 to 24 months coming in from Alaska or any company that's associated or any supplier associated with that project up in Northern Alaska. I completely agree.

Hey, why are the prices of the pump so crazy? It's like here in my area, I see prices swing. as much as thirty, almost forty cents. From the corner. Yeah, they are, and they are swinging.

And we've got, and there's right now, the thing that's driving market prices. Um Fuel prices, and I'm talking refined products and gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, those kinds of things. Um The refined products are being driven by one set of metrics, and crude oil itself is being driven by A separate set of metrics, and then we have these. things like the Silicon Valley and signature bank failures yesterday that really gobble up our prices. You know, we had the retail price is actually what, I think I saw $3.18 a gallon for regular gasoline, regular unleaded gasoline here in the Dallas area.

And I paid, you know, $265 just two weeks ago. Here, here. Yeah, that's I just crazy. And for the past two months, I've seen that number oscillate between north of three. And under three by at least a dime or a couple of dimes.

It's just crazy. Going into summer, yeah. Going into summer, where are we headed then as far as summer travel and the price of the pump? What's going to happen, do you think? I think we're going to peak probably mid to late May.

And then, you know, right now the economy is driving so much of this because people are very, very concerned. We're not spending the money. We're being careful where we spend the money. And, you know, it's going to be vacation time and people are going to have to weigh whether they want to pay an exorbitant price for a plane ticket or if they're going to try to drive somewhere. They may limit their vacation expenditures this year.

I think they're most concerned about. The influence of where this economy is going. And granted, we got a CPI number today that came in as expected. We didn't really anticipate a big change in that. But next week's Fed number is going to add some additional concern here.

We're making How do I make this? We're making decisions on the fly where we should have a program that we're following, and that has been the milieu, if you will, of the Biden administration. They just Don't get it. All economist my friend Tim Snyder MatadoreEconomics dot com is his website. Check out his Free newsletter.

He's this dude is spot on. I I always love his insight. When it comes to economic reports, like you know, inf inflation's still here, still here. Got six percent inflation year over year. He comments on that as well.

Metador, you know, like the bullfighter. Metador Economics dot com. I was watching this report uh coming in from California. It looks like The state authorities are going to be charging a facility. filing charges against a nursing facility.

Related to COVID-19, which is good to see. Any bad practices when it came to COVID in California. You know where we need to see this Don't you think, Governor Cuomo and his stupid policies that left a lot of people, a lot of elderly dying in nursing homes? Yeah, that would be good to see in New York what in California they're doing right now, but go after it. the policymakers, and specifically him, on those orders that Sent a lot of old people, a lot of elderly people to their death in nursing facilities in New York.

In California, moving against a nursing facility. Speaking of Cuomo, just FYI, just a little sidebar, he might be running against Kristen Jillibrand for the Senate. Just something to watch. This is the Dana Show reporting from South Texas. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

Yeah. It's time for Florida man. It's a criminal case that starts in California. His name is David Subil, 51-year-old guy who went to A um A seafood company, Arctic Seafood. This guy complete with a truck and fake order for all sorts of Russian king crab and snow crabs, you know that delicious stuff with melted butter.

This dude drove off with almost a half million dollars worth. He said he was a Safeway representative. They caught him though, caught him in floor before he took a one-way flight to Colombia. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to The Dana Show from South Texas.

We start with news on the economy. Breaking news. Inflation rose in February but was in line with expectations. The Consumer Price Index increased zero point four percent for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at six percent. A few comments from that was off the MSNBC channel.

As we. We oscillate, we go left and right and left and right. I would hope we stay more on the right side. fiscal conservatism. Responsible money management, responsible management at the federal level.

Get rid of all the fat. I could only dream of that, but. Since more than likely that won't be happening, no major changes will be happening in public schools. To train our children, to train the next generation to think for themselves, to provide for themselves, to expect their own strength, their own talent and intelligence. To provide for themselves and the family that they bring into this world and require, demand.

Participate in local, state, and federal government to rein in all that spending. I don't see that happening at the public school level, which is the next generation. Yeah. Um Every single year, we're just producing by the millions new voters that believe that government is a solution to everything. And it's having more government is a good thing.

And we should surrender more of our hard-earned cash and more of our liberties for the sake of the common good. That's the mindset, that's the leftist mindset, that is the government apologist mindset that is perpetuated in public schools. And that's not changing.

So let me go back to my point. I don't see any of this changing.

Social Security will come There will be a day of reckoning. And on that day of reckoning, that same population That apologized for the government, that did not vote the right representation into Washington and continued to vote the wrong representation to the White House and to their House of Representation, Houses of Representation. They will have to make a decision. cut Social Security. Or tax more.

Guaranteed. Guarantee they will tax more, tax themselves more. Absolutely. That's where I think all this is headed. Because I don't see a new generation that's being properly instructed into managing their own strength, their own intelligence, their own finances.

to put government in its place. A minor part of their daily life, not an all-consuming, all-responsible part of their daily life.

So that's why I say that next generation could be the day of reckoning could be. 20 years, maybe kick the can down the road, maybe 30 years, 40 years, but on that day of reckoning. When that day comes, I believe that woefully Ignorant, low information, electorate, desperate electorate. will decide to tax itself more in order to keep benefits. as is.

And having said all that, on the retirement side, You thinking of retiring? With your My RA 401K, whatever it is that you have.

Now look at retirement. N now from my perspective, I'd as As tired as I am. After a long day of doing nothing but reading and interviewing and cutting audio and doing a lot more reading and just keeping up to speed with what's taking place. I love this gig. I can't believe.

I can't believe I'm making a living at this feeding myself, feeding my family. Still talking almost 30 years into it now. Thank you, Jesus, for this great gig. And I'm sure Dana says the same thing. And anybody who's blessed to be in media and be able to provide for themselves.

And I get tired. When I get really tired, I say, Well, I don't know if I want to do this. Not maybe that. But I still would like to be gainfully employed. Maybe not in this thing.

Yeah. Mm. I wouldn't mind it. But I would like to change the hours, please. three o'clock in the morning.

To three, four, five in the afternoon, because it never stops. News and information never stops.

So I'd like to change the hours just a little bit. But I don't think I'm going to retire. I say all that because I don't think I'm going to retire. I may be forced to retire from radio if our penetration rate, which is right now in radio, that's the, you know, take the population in your county. Radio has a penetration of about 88%, 89%, 88% of the folks who are consuming meat, about 88%.

They say that about 10 years, 15%, 20 years, that might be down to about 60%, 50%, based on consumption of the new media, social media. The storytellers will always be here. That's why I thank God Almighty for this opportunity to continue to be a storyteller, and the local storytellers will always be needed. But I don't want to retire. Because I'd like to do something daily.

I think. If You leave. you're what you're doing Like you'd be a bank president. I don't know. You could be an engineer for the city.

Whatever it is that you're doing, which has filled your life with purpose on a daily basis, you get up, you go, you contribute. Uh perhaps at the end of the day you're frustrated that you didn't finish any specific project that you were working on and you have to pick it up, shut down a certain point, get some food in your mouth. Kiss your wife and babies, go to sleep, come back early in the morning, do it again. You're kind of frustrated that you don't see a closure. It takes too long to see closure for certain projects, but stop all that.

Whatever it is that you're doing for a living, you're trucking, driving around, hauling stuff across the nation. You're working specific laboratory projects over at the hospital. You are a professor working on a You're necessary for a 10-year research paper that you got to turn in. Stop all that. Just stop it.

It ends today. Like this afternoon will be your last day. That's it. You're done. You're not coming back the next day.

For some of you, you're feeling it, right? An emptiness, a void. That's what I think. If if something like that were to happen to me here at at the radio station. There's a void.

I'd like to do something else. Whether it's a Walmart creator. Or Do they have target greeters? Target?

Well, I'll make one up. I'll go work at Tarzan or at Walmart. No, I don't want to work at Tarzan. I want to work at Walmart. Or in some other way, just do something.

Go to the hospital and wheel people around in a wheelchair, people coming in and out of the hospital. Just every all of us, I think, want a sense of purpose. It requires that we be active in something. That's why I don't see myself retiring.

Now there was this report from Paychecks. They caught my eye, I want to share with you. That said a growing number of folks who are retired. are considering leaving retirement. Yeah.

Paychecks to the study. people out of the workforce for an average of four years They are listing the top concern for them is the fact that they need more money. Whatever it is that they're receiving from. That retirement account is not enough. Again, you and I are paying 15% right now compared to 24 months ago.

We're paying at least 15% on everything. Compared to 24 months ago. And that number's not improving, especially under Biden inflation, under this administration. Amigo, we got two more years. Under this Genius, I could call them something else.

who has driven our country into the ground. And it all starts with energy policy, as I've mentioned many times before, just the delivery to market, the diesel cost, how uberexpensive that is right now. It's not going to get any better. despite all these little things we hear about him wanting to drill in Alaska. Folks who are retired, they need more money because it ain't coming in.

Look, we've lost about 20, 25% of stock market value since this dude went into the. went into the White House. That's affecting. How much the IRAs are paying it? How much.

The four oh one K's. are paying and all these retirement savings. The only thing being adjusted for inflation What was it, like six, seven percent is the Social Security check if they're getting that as as a portion? of their monthly earning. The other port, the other, in this paychecks study, this conversation I had with folks who have been.

out of the market, out of the workforce for four years or more in their study. What I was telling you before, which is um Being a part of something, feeling that you're a part of something, being a part of a project. Having that reward of a daily reward of completing a task, completing a project. Yeah, that was second right there. We have jumped from boredom.

to loneliness to the number one problem if we're retirement is being The fact that they cannot afford retirement. It's too expensive. 24 months ago, we were paying 15% less. And then 12 more months, add another what? Other 6%, 5% to that.

By this time next year, we could easily say. We are now spending about 20% plus more than we did three years ago. That's why retirees. R M Thinking about On retiring and going back to the workforce to do something, to get some extra cash to pay for.

Some of that dinner money. They want to pay with Sweetie. They want to go out with Sweetie on a Friday night. 20 minutes after the hour, this is the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez and from my friend Dana Lash.

You want to say hi online? Sergio at kurv.com or on Twitter at Sergio Talk. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick V, brought to you by Caltech. P. Dana Scho reporting to you from South Texas, General Motors in the middle of buyouts for hundreds of full-time employees, hoping to see billions on payroll.

This headline coming as Ford Motor Company saying they need to lay up 1,100 workers in their international workforce in order to try to save billions of dollars as well. From Wallet Hub. They're declaring the city of McCallum, Texas, that, hey, that's where I'm broadcasting from today. Fattest, most overweight, most obese city in our nation. Yet again, we've made that number one.

Next to that, mm Memphis and then Mobile, complimenting McCounty. I say mmm because mmm is the food is just so good down here. 45% obese, 37% physically inactive in McCallum, Texas. You're listening to the Dana Show from What do I call us now? Fattyville, McFatty Face, Texas, McKellen, Texas.

This is the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez. Stick around. We got Chris Markowski, watchdog on Wall Street up next. Of all your favorite talk hosts, one of these is not like the others.

The Dana Show. We should be, the government should be complimented in the way that they put together protecting the depositors, both those that are insured, those that were not insured. How we were able to protect jobs and how we were able to get those payrolls done so that these owners of these small tech companies could pay their staffs, etc. We did a miraculous job. Oh, thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord, for Maxine Waters and all the geniuses that have saved us all. Saving us all yet again. Man. Thank you, Steve-O, man. A little time, sorry, coming back from break.

Oh, man. I'll continue using that as my theme song for my show here in South Texas, as long as people don't call up and say, hey, you can't be using that anymore. Yeah, that's the genius, Maxine Waters, and of course, the government that is here to save us all.

So it's time to talk about your money. This is the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Sanchez in for my friend Dana Lash. And you want to say hi online, Sergio at kurv.com or at Sergio Talk. And for all Dana Show affiliates, you guys, program directors listening in right now.

710KU RV here in South Texas. We're a proud affiliate of Dana, dear friend. And I'm also very, very proud. Proud to introduce right now Chris Markowski, the watchdog on Wall Street. We carry Chris weekends here on Talk Radio here in South Texas.

This dude's a genius. Chris, I want to get your quick opinion before we start talking about inflation. And of course, this Silicon Valley bank I never heard of before. Obviously, people on the inside and Silicon Valley heard of this thing going belly up. Want to get your quick opinion on my new.

My new savings plan. I bought a brand new mattress this weekend. I'm going to use it to stuff all my money and silver coins in from this point out. I want to get your quick thoughts on that.

Well, you know, the reality, Sergio, is if you if Silicon Valley Bank had done that, back when I was younger, it was my grandfather used to have like the pipe tobacco, the Prince Albert stuff, and we used to keep money in that. They would have been better off than going out inside and to buy 30-year treasuries at 1.5%.

So your matches idea would have been great for Silicon Valley. What went wrong with these people? Silicon Valley Bank. Just explain it to working people who are working hard right now, trying to pay the bills and shave off some gold to give it to Uncle Sam to pay a portion of all the debt that they have us in right now.

So explain it to us. What happened to Silicon Valley? Yeah, they're just greedy idiots, quite quite frankly. And just I I I took a look at the books uh of this thing and I I was blown away. I was absolutely blown away that they were actually taking and going out and buying all of this long duration paper at 1.5%.

Then, on top of it, They didn't sell when the Fed said, hey, you know what guys, we're going to start raising rates. I think they've telegraphed that pretty much over the past twelve months. And they could have come out at a much smaller loss. They chose not to do so. And again, it boggles the mind at the utter stupidity of the people that are over there at that bank.

It's really tough. Chris Markowski, watchdog on Wall Street. We're talking about this Silicon Valley bank going belly up. There's another bank elsewhere that went belly up. You know.

For working people. That was Signature Bank. And guess who's on the board of directors of Signature Bank? Oh, uh Barney Frank, right? Yeah, from Dodd Frank.

Yes, he was, you know, the big guru in bank regulations. He missed it. People want to know. If these banks went belly up, These past several days. If that means Their bank is going to suffer the same fate.

I think if we just shut it down to the cop, that's what folks want to know. I mean, I think that that's that's silly. I mean, again, you have to know who you're doing business with. And let's be honest here. You play the Maxine Waters clip.

Coming in, like, here I come to save the day, and we sign, we save the people, and we save the payrolls. That was, this is so much horse manure flying around right now. Silicon Valley Bank, they weren't managing the bank accounts. for the grounds crew and the people cleaning the bathrooms. 90% of their deposits were above the $250,000 FDIC limit.

This was nothing but rich people from Silicon Valley, the whole startup crowd, the crowd that continues to donate tons of money to the donkeys on a regular basis. That's why they broke the rules. Don't let them think, oh, we've saved all these companies. Not to mention the fact that the idea that these companies would have gone out of business if the government didn't step in, ballooning. They could have just gone to their venture capital people and they could have given them the money.

They funded them so far. You think they're going to let all of these banks fail? No. But they didn't want their position to be diluted. They didn't want, because they had to raise more money, they had to issue more stock from these VC companies.

They didn't want to lose money.

So, hey, you know what? Oh, I know. The taxpayer's not paying for it. Yes, you are, because guess what? Your banks out there are going to have to put more money into the FDIC, and that's going to filter down to your bank fees.

I think that's important for you to flesh out, folks understand how banks, they pay into this piggy bank, this FDIC piggy bank that's supposed to cover the 250K. for all these failed accounts. Explain real quick how that works.

Well, again, it's it's with insurance. You go to your bank and see FDIC insured.

So if you have under $250,000 in your bank, it's covered if the bank were to go under.

So again, if you're smart and if you have more than enough money, again, I would highly recommend instead putting it more into a brokerage account where they can give you a lot more protection. But you don't go over that dollar amount and you're going to be just fine. But the banks pay into this insurance fund. And where do the banks get it from? They get it from you in the fees that you pay.

So again, yes, you're going to pay for this. It's an insurance policy. It's not A minimum amount of liquidity, 250K per customer. It's an insurance policy, and as you said, it's paid. By the fees that we pay, Chris Markowski, Watch Dog on Wall Street.

Yeah, we're looking at that Silicon Valley Bank thing, that belly up. Hey, man, is it true? This is the Dana show. I'm Sergio Yosanchez. And from my friend Dana, is it true?

that Silicon Valley Bank invested heavily into crypto, maybe one fifth or one fourth at one time their investment was in crypto. Is it true? Again, I don't know what exactly was in their position because I know that they were funding many crypto startups. Without a doubt. I don't know, again, you know, what type of position they may have taken in that.

I don't know if they even still have that on the books. But again, you know what's kind of odd about this is they didn't even have a risk management officer. She left last April. And they didn't replace her.

So and again, where is she? I don't know. Did they hide her on some sort of island in the South Pacific? How come we don't have a microphone in front of her right now asking her why she left?

Something's rotten here.

So, you know, the fact that they may have gotten a little bit nuts. Listening to Matt Damon and Larry David. Fortune favors the brave. It's a possibility. You know, back in what was the year?

I had it here in my notes. two thousand five, two thousand six. That was the last adjustment to this two hundred fifty thousand dollar per account insurance. Man, you adjust that for inflation and by American standards, we can call this hyperinflation. We're paying 15% more right now than we were 24 months ago.

If you consider the 9% last year and the 6% up to date right now, year to year, you adjust for inflation, that's like $377,000 per account that. Should be offered. per failed account. How is that figure going to be changed? I suspect that somebody might be pushing to change that near future, put more money in the piggy bank and into that insurance fund.

Maybe. I don't even really think it's necessary. I really don't because it's not like you're limited to one account. You could open up another account and that one is going to be insured up to $250,000. It's not per individual throughout the entire country.

I run an investment firm and we insure assets. And obviously, it's different because we utilize SIPIC. And it's a brokerage type of a situation where it's a registered investment advisory. We insure well over $100 million for every single account.

So there's plenty of ways that you can protect your assets. Money Pro professional money manager Chris Markowski joining me. Yeah. What do you make of All these media reports and these, as I call them, Meat puppets parroting The same thing hour by hour. It's Trump's fault, Brick.

It's Trump's fault, Brr. Deregulation, poop. Your comments on that? Yeah, it's it's do you remember do you remember the kids used to watch the you know the peanuts when the adults would talk, wah womp, wa-wah, wa-wah, wah, wah. It's starting to sound like that.

It's almost it's just like static to me at this point in time. You get that Robert Rice coming out, Clinton's labor secretary, commenting on this. And again, you take a look at these people that are making these comments. They really don't have much of a clue or much understanding of what exactly happened. You know, what's funny is that they try to say, well, yo, Trump did away with some of the regulations from Dodd-Frank.

Nothing to do, wouldn't have stopped anything that happened here, and guess what? If it was so bad, hey, Biden's president, he could have reversed it. Yeah. Hey, and don't forget, Barney Frank was sitting on the other bank that went belly up just a few days back. Get your dog bones real quick.

Watch Dog on Wall Street and Chris Markowski. Get your dog bones real quick, throw them on the floor. Inflation.

So year to year, we're at 6% right now. One year from now, what's your guess, man? Where are we going to be? Yeah. I think we're going to be much, much lower from here.

I think it has a lot to do with real estate. I also hope that we can kind of deal with some of these avian flu issues as well to get egg prices down, and that will filter into other things. But again, it does take some time. It doesn't happen overnight. I do happen to think that where rates are right now, the Fed has got them, I think it's fair.

This is not high rates by any stretch of the imagination. This is normalization. This actually makes my job much easier. And it's actually good for long-term investors and retirees that they can actually get. uh some return on cash and cash equivalents.

Not a bad thing. Uh I really don't think that the Fed's going to be able to go much, much higher. I think we don't have so much of a demand problem. We have a supply problem. And that needs to be dealt with immediately In DC.

We need more energy. We need more farms. We need a lot more. And what we need to do is get the government out of the way so we can make that possible. Speaking of supply, man, the money supply is just crazy.

It's just way too much cash. All these trillions and trillions upon dollars. And the mindset from D.C. that they're used to it, and they're expecting it. The latest budget from Biden expecting trillion-plus dollars in debt every single year for the next 10, 20, 30 years.

And it's like there's no end inside. Brother, what needs to happen to fix this financial house of ours? Because up in D.C., they're stealing us blind, man. It's a house of cards, and it's going to come crumbling down sometime in the future if we don't change things. You get the government you deserve.

We continue to vote for these people, and we continue to look to say, hey, this one's an elephant, this one's a donkey, and that's the choices we make. A very few out there that are actually calling for a balanced budget amendment, Rand Paul being one of them. Tom Colburn used to do it as well. Those are the types of people that we need, people that actually understand that, you know what, there has to be a limit on what we spend. It's almost like we need to get back to a constitutional convention and have a balanced budget amendment put in there.

I mean, I would love that. I mean, I really would. If the founders missed that one. Yeah, Pell. And as I said at the beginning, monologue, we got way, way too many low-information voters.

And come that day of reckoning when Social Security says, hey, we're out of cash, we're out of money. I guarantee you, double-dog, triple-dog, dairy guarantee you that, man, the American low-information electorate, yes, that deserves the government. that we have right now because they keep voting these clowns in every single cycle. They will vote to increase taxes on everyone before they decide to get a smaller paycheck from Social Security. Will Social Security survive, in your opinion?

And I'll let you go with that last question. We'll survive. Again, I think that there's going to be massive cuts on the way. There has to be. It's what's been happening over in Europe.

You go back to 2010 when they had their crisis over there. The Czechs and the countries over there have got a lot smaller. We're witnessing what's taking place in France right now, and they're pushing back because they want to raise the age. Again, you can look to FDR for crying out loud. FDR told everybody that the entire system needed to go private.

Okay, go read his writings. He knew that he knew that it wasn't the same. Yeah. That's why they will vote for tax increases before they vote for any kinds. I'm convinced of it.

Chris, as always, thank you. It's a pleasure. I appreciate your insight. Look for him on many Dana affiliates as well. They carry the watchdog on Wall Street, Chris Markowski.

Bless you, my brother. You stay safe. I'm Sergio Sanchez. You're listening to the Dana Show. You want to say hi online, Sergio at kurv.com.

That's Sergio at kurv.com. Or join us on Twitter at Sergio Talk. This is the Dana Show. Listen to the Dana Show live on the Odyssey app, weekdays noon to 3 p.m. Eastern Time.

From South Texas. Hey, it's still Texas. His blessed soil. This is the Dana Show. I'm Sergio Josanchis in for my friend Dana Lash.

Dana's out taking advantage of, I guess. One of the final few spring breaks, right? It's not like I'm saying anything private. She posted online. She's taking advantage of a spring break at one of her young ones.

They're not so young anymore. Uh, taking a break from s spring break out in college, I'm guessing. And uh Taking care of some family time. Oh man, that's I've got a fifteen-year-old and a ten-year-old. You've been listening long enough, I talk about them every now and then.

And of late, especially with my 15-year-old, the dude is taller than I am now. You know, I'm not that tall, you know, 5'9, 5'10, but the dude's already taller than me and still growing at 15. And all I have to say If you're a new parent, you're one of our smarter than the average radio listening bear millennials. And you guys still having kids. Take a lot of pictures, take as much as you can, even simple moments, like when they sit down for dinner with you.

Or where they're playing with toys. Or they're outside playing, or they're at the park, just simple thing. I took a lot of video. I took a lot of pictures of my babies, and my wife and I, Daily and I, we enjoy those pictures. But I wish I had done more, honestly.

So, my only from heart to heart, the only advice I'd give you right now: if you're a new parent and you got, especially if that little crumb muncher just popped out a few days back. that little one will morph every single day.

So every day in fact, I'd put like a s I would put like a security camera on top of the crib and just let it roll twenty four, seven, store all that data, and you'll see how that baby morphs. Or just Just a few days.

So, Dana's taking advantage of some family time. Lord bless you, Dana. You'll be safe out there. And for new parents, you guys take a lot of pictures and take a lot more than that because I wish I had more. I can't get enough of those baby pictures, little kid pictures of my 15-year-old and my 10-year-old baby.

As well. Music revenue reaching an all-time high, $15.9 billion, according to the Record Industry Association of Merck. and for my Catholic family. Especially in my Irish Catholic family. Top of the morning or top of the afternoon.

This note from Philadelphia, Catholics. In Pennsylvania, most specifically Philly. Catholics who wish to to properly celebrate Saint Patrick's Day during Lent. uh you guys are permitted to do so. Corned beef.

will be on the menu. says the Archdiocese over at Philadelphia. Corned beef. the Saint Patrick's Day tradition. Of course, Saint Saint Patrick's Day falls on on Friday.

Of course, Friday's the day that some of y'all Catholics, you guys do without beef.

So the Archinicesis of Philadelphia and has granted an exception for this Friday.

Now, corned beef is the only exception, okay? Shepherd's pie is not on there, another type of beef product. And no. If you're Catholic in another part of the country, this is only for Philadelphia. I think that's a limitation.

Sergio at kurv.com or at Sergio Talk on Twitter. This is the Dana Show. Have a wonderful evening.
