Monday February 5 - Full Show

It took a long time, four months of arduous negotiations. They fell off the tracks a whole bunch of times. I had to be on the phone even at midnight saying we've got to keep going. Why? We're the turning point in America.

This bill is crucial, and history will look back on it and say, Did America fail itself? Why is it crucial?

Well, if we don't aid uh Ukraine, Putin will be walk all over Ukraine, we will lose the war, and we could be fighting in Eastern Europe and a NATO ally in a few years. Americans won't like that. You know what Americans aren't going to like either? Americans aren't going to like if they have to fight something here on our own American shores because we had a border that wasn't even closed. I'm so tired of having, I don't give a rat's ass about what happens over there right now because we have an entirely open southern border and we have lawmakers who are not at all serious about fixing it.

at all whatsoever. And they dumped this stupid garbage bill Last night. And it is garbage, absolute garbage. There is nothing redeeming in this bill at all, whatsoever. It is garbage.

And Chip Roy is going to be talking to us about it a little bit later on. I mean, I said something very strong. on social media just a little bit ago, any Republican out there that is pushing this lie. That That this border bill is in any way good for America. A border bill, by the way.

before any enforcement mechanism kicks in at all whatsoever. This border bill allows 1.8 million illegal immigrants into the country. before any enforcement mechanism kicks in. 1.8, that's the minimum. 1.8.

before any enforcement mechanism kicks in. Oh, and I should add that the bill also Also protects. Because Biden is given complete and total authority to suspend. any enforcement mechanism. It's literally written in the bill.

He has the authority to suspend any enforcement mechanism related to any kind of detainment, any kind of deportation, anything. And in Addition You have This massive mound of money, millions of dollars. That is being given to all of these third-party government contractors that have been aiding like Catholic charities.

Sorry, but they have been. They've been aiding this. I've been to the border, I've seen them. I literally have seen it.

So There are there's some major problems here.

Now, some people are saying, no, you shouldn't get hysterical and worked up over it. Yeah, you should actually get worked up over it, and here's why. Because we've done this. I don't know how many years this is the most important domestic issue of the time right now. In fact, It is an issue that's so incredibly important, it's affecting all other domestic policy, and it also has an effect on international policy, particularly as it relates to LNG, which we talked about in depth last week.

So welcome to the show. That's how we're starting it out today. Dana, last year with you, you can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program as well, and you can watch the simulcast Channel 347 DirecTV. It's a bad bill.

And you should get worked up over it. You should get worked up over it because if you make it. If you codify something like this, where you have 1.8 million people who illegally enter every year at a minimum before any kind of enforcement kicks in. Do you think you're going to get that number back down? I want you ser I want you to seriously consider this.

if you're allowing 1.8 million people to enter the country illegally, do you think that after that, after if that's passed and that number is solidified and it becomes actual law, do you think That you are ever going to get these lawmakers in DC to reduce that number voluntarily? or in any other way? Do you think that that number that they'll say, well, let's come up with another bill? This amnesty bill works so well. We've decided to refashion an immigration bill in which we are going to lower.

The number from 1.8 million. Because do you can you point to me any other instance throughout American history? Where, when government is given something and they codify it and it's law, and you have this set number, do they ever go back? Whether it's monetary policy, healthcare, you know, because that theory works so well with healthcare. Second Amendment.

I could go on.

So that's why, yes, you should get worked up over it. And I'm tired of everybody kicking the can down the road. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of seeing what is, you know, and the other parts of this bill. Because there are some Republicans out there saying, oh, no, I think you're just, just don't get worked up over it.

It's not anything to get worked up.

Well, that's a lie. You should. If there's one thing that you should, and I will tell you, and you guys know me, I tell you frequently, oh, this is not something to get worked up over, or this is actually. Because the other part of this bill, excuse me, the other part of this bill, as it pertains to Um pulling all this up here. Because we got the, as it pertains to all of the illegal crossings and everything else, you got the millions of dollars.

that is earmarked for, like I said, all of these These third government contractors and I mean, this is just a bad, it's a bad thing. I mean, we're not even getting into the other stuff with Ukraine and all of that yet. We're still going to do that. This is just it's a it's a giant Giant Horrible bill. This thing shouldn't even be going anywhere.

There are a lot of Republican senators that are opposing it. I mean, they may not be able to get 60 to move it forward. I don't know how, honestly, that they would. Because it's so bad. I mean, the other part the other aspect of it Because you have Changes to the rules governing the asylum process that fast tracks.

everything Uh and then you you have to the other I don't know who was You have the whole legal system that's going to be set up to fast-track these things because you have to then have. The authority to determine one by one which of these claims are legitimate and which not, and then they have to hand them off. To different judges that are with the Immigration Services Department and Okay. Those judges, each judge. In these cases, they have a, I mean, they have a fair amount of, they can have discretion, they can enact their own discretion on this.

Okay, these are judges that are all under the Biden DOJ. See, we know how well that's gonna go. I mean, there's there's so many bad things in this thing. There's nothing redeemable in it. Oh, and one of the other things that was pointed out, too, is that.

The Other aspect of this, let me pull this up for you because there's so much here. There's so much that they dropped this last night. Because they wanted to fast-track it and they wanted to fast-track it and they wanted to get it in. You also have green card giveaways that have been locked in through 2030. And that was on page, I want to say 212.

Because here's the other thing on this. It says: if the President finds that it is in the national interest to temporarily suspend the Border Emergency Authority, the President may direct the Secretary to suspend the use of the Border Emergency Authority on an emergency basis.

So, see, that's the power that I alluded to when I said that Joe Biden has the authority to suspend any and all enforcement of this. And he can deem anything a national emergency, as we just learned under the pandemic.

So yes, do you honestly believe? Do you honestly believe that any Any lawmaker. that votes to solidify all of this, that they would be you could persuade them to walk it all back in a separate piece of legislation. They wouldn't be one and done with us. It's it's it is it's just a garbage, garbage bill.

Now Speaker Johnson, and I just actually saw this. Let me pull this up. I just saw this fly past. He's pretty much said that it's DOA. He's essentially said that it's DOA.

And of course, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Uh, come absolutely once they called for uh an immediate passage of this. We're going to talk to Chip Roy about this too when he comes on because this you're looking at a giveaway, 50,000 green card giveaway. It exits expanding.

I'm when I say expanding worker visas, we're not talking about people who are skilled and proficient in an actual particular skill. Where I mean, it's just a free-for-all. And of course that's what the U.S. Chamber, that's what they want. It's it is This is bad, bad, bad policy.

Bad policy. And a lot of the p the usual suspect Republicans are You know, of course they're right on on uh on the same page with it.

Now there's also, I'm going to pull this up because there's some giveaway there's Ukraine funding that's involved in this There's a lot of other stuff that's involved in this. It's a the You have this. Aid for Israel and Ukraine that are included, $118.3 billion deal. And that's what Schumer is pushing.

Well, you have to have Ukraine need this aid. They could have done a standalone bill, they refused to do it. They absolutely refuse to do it.

Now, Johnson said, Speaker Johnson said, I've seen enough. This bill is worse, even worse than we expected, and won't come close to ending the border catastrophe that the President has created. He says, as the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed under this legislation, the border never closes. And if this bill reaches the House, it will be dead on arrival.

Well, that's good. It could be because it should be. Senator Langford, he was the one who proposed this bill, and he's been out there defending it all for the last couple of days, and particularly all this morning after they released it last night. He's been trying to defend himself on it. It's not going over very well.

And Senator Dan Crenshaw as well. There's a lot of things that I disagree with Dan Crenshaw on, and this bill is absolutely one of them. And he was saying that these concerns were bizarre. And he says that, you know, obviously we do need new laws, et cetera, et cetera. You already, he says, are you arguing that we need new laws for the president to close the border?

Because that's. Not accurate. It's not accurate. This is bad law. You don't fix a bad situation by passing hurriedly bad law.

Dropping the text in the dead of night and then demanding that everyone get on the same page for it as the sun comes up. That's not going to happen. And you can get as smug as you want to. I'll just, you know what? I'll match your energy.

Let's do that. All these Republicans that are out there that are pushing you all into this, you know what? Today, I feel like I'm a giver. I'm generous. I'm going to match that energy today.

We should just call every single one of these damn people. Let's call every one of them. Why the hell not? Let's just call every one of them. Be like, you wanna come and defend the steaming turd on live radio?

Let's just ask them if they want to come defend this pile of feces on live radio. That would be fun, would it not? Because make them earn your taxpayer dollars. They're your employees. Don't you want to hear from them?

I mean, people can read. We're not illiterate. We can read the spell. What do you I mean I actually was watching who I Where was this? Of course I didn't link it on my rundown like a genius.

But there was a Republican out there saying, no, well, no, that's not true. Biden doesn't have the authority to suspend it. Dude, it's on page 212. He absolutely does. I just read you the passage.

You know, if you want to speed read through something, you can just hit CtrlF on your Mac and it'll fly through whatever keywords you want to. It's actually quite easy. You know, I mean, you can like you can speed read this stuff for certain things if you're looking for certain things. It's quite easy. Golly.

All right. I I don't feel I don't feel That it is too strong of a statement to say any Republican pushing the lie that a border bill allowing 1.8 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. before any enforcement mechanism is triggered. And Biden has the authority to suspend all enforcement and gives millions to groups aiding the deluge, is a traitor to the people. They absolutely are.

Like I said, this is. This is Absolutely. The biggest issue that we have right now because it's affecting every other issue. Every other issue. And if they can't get on the same page with it, Yeah, that's you.

You should get worked up over it because you have every right to. This is some of the other stuff that we have coming up today because we're. We have the latest with Iran. Of course, we started this. The the targeting of these These Iranian-backed militia groups.

That have been carrying on drone attacks and strikes against our military. We're going to get into that. We've got some 2024 as well. We've got Law and Order, some of the latest with those illegal immigrants that beat up the cop in New York. Oh my gosh.

We got all that. We also have, we're going to talk about some two-way, there's a case. That is coming up. It has to do with the guy in New York and quote-unquote ghost guns. We're going to talk about that as well.

Well, here's another thing to be mad at Pablo Escobar for: his hippos are now attacking people in Colombia. The drug kingpin, he's got four hippos. They've multiple, well, he had four hippos that multiplied into a 200-strong herd. You know what I learned about this? I think it was on one of the grand tours with Jeremy Clarkson.

They actually saw Escobar's, like his hippos, his druggy hippos.

Now it's a 200-strong herd that dominates their largest river. There, it's insane. The Columbia Ministry of Environment said that they've been trying to control this population because they actually pose a threat to the ecosystem. That's crazy.

So, yeah, they said that they were trying to start sterilizing it, but it's very dangerous because they've been, they are like the meanest animals out there. Hippopotamuses, they are the meanest things out there. And of course, that's what Escobar wanted. But let's see. Oh, sad groundhog news.

So a Kentucky groundhog kicked the bucket on Groundhog Day after it made a prediction of an early spring. That groundhog did not hang itself. Days after predicting an early spring, Major, a 10-year-old groundhog meteorologist, Living at the Second Chances Wildlife Center, kick the bucket from heart issues brought on to the fact that he was old. He was a 10-year-old ground rat. Where was de Blasio?

Yeah, De Blasio is somewhere around here. You know where he reached his grubby little hands down there and murked it? But they said, oh, he's at peace eating treats, blah blah blah, ringing all the bells.

So at least he did one last service. Carl Weathers has passed away, aged 76 years old. Oh man, that's a bummer. Cause I liked him a lot. He was great.

I mean, gosh, what an icon. He was Apollo and Apollo Creed and Rocky, and he was in the Mandalorian, which is the thing that I had watched him before I stopped with Disney in the last. But yeah, Carl Weathers, absolute American icon, 76 years old. Let's see, these.

So it's. They're rewilding feral pigs and donkeys. Re rewilding? We're going to come back to this and revisit. Stay with us, Morn Store.

Hi, I'm Adriana, a politics major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President Dr. Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute. America's founders recognized an obvious fact of life. Human beings differ in terms of physical attributes and talents.

Because of this, some people will be better at some things than they are at others. But they also recognize that the tall and the short among us, the swift and the slow among us, are still human beings if we are recognizable as human beings. And therefore, we are equal in terms of the rights that pertain to human beings. Rights attached to human nature, rights that come from God. The Declaration of Independence names three of the big ones.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Exercising these rights is necessary if we are to be truly free. In our own time, many influential people believe that only government can decide what our rights should be. This is dangerous. Understanding our rights and how the Constitution protects them is vital to our freedom.

Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show. I say to Speaker Johnson, don't let the thirty hard right people in the House who are extreme, they wanted us to default, they wanted the government not to pay its debts, They wanted us, did the government to shut down. They're extremists.

And they're running your show. Do the right thing. I don't understand how they're extremists because they're just simply wanting to adhere to current law. And if current law, if wanting to do that, is what is extreme, then your issue isn't with people, your issue is with the law. Senator Schumer, welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash here with you. I expect Democrats to push this type of thing, but I don't expect Republicans in the House and Senate to push this type of thing. I don't expect them.

Now, thankfully, Speaker Johnson has said this thing is DOA, but that hasn't stopped others like Crenshaw and a number of other lawmakers from. And you got in the Senate side, Langford, who's in McConnell, who Linkford wrote the thing. who are trying to say that any kind of opposition is somehow Um people just getting worked up. is kind of the phrase that I keep seeing their surrogates say. But as I said, you know, it's not an exaggeration to be worked up over this.

I mean, you have the the President of the United States who is granted By his own discretion, the authority to suspend any kind of enforcement mechanism. On this, at all, whatsoever. And nothing kicks in until you have 1.8 million people who get here illegally. And then does enforcement kick in? And when they say that they're upgrading their asylum or their, how do they put it?

Increasing standards for asylum, or they're raising standards for asylum screening. Actually, they're not. That's not what this does. What it does is it Actually, it incentivizes people coming in here again with kids because it's only sending the Predominantly young men who have been coming across the border, it's going to send them through what an extra, an extra process. Whoop-de-doo.

So that means like more busy work.

So it sends them through an extra process and it expedites people who come here with kids.

So I mean, that's the Flores Amendment, just basically on steroids.

So you're going to incentivize people to bring kids. You're going to start, you're going to really kick off again. You're going to see a spike in this child trafficking because that's exactly what happened previously with us. That's the whole reason under Obama Biden, they began separating people at the border. Because they had random strangers coming in with kids that weren't even theirs, because it was a rent-a-kid program that the cartels were doing.

Good grief, like you're doing this again? This is asinine. I mean, this is one of the most ridiculous pieces of legislation to ever be seriously considered by any Republican in Washington, D.C. I mean, it it It it it does not. What do you you have, what, 90 days that people are supposed to be screened and then they get a judgment within 180 days.

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. It's a mess. And their excuse is, well, doing nothing isn't an option.

Okay, well, doing bad policy isn't an option either. That's a false choice. That either we do it your way or not choosing to do it this way somehow means that we're doing nothing. I mean, there's a number of things that we could do, but no nobody in DC is serious about it. That's the issue.

So yes, absolutely. I I expect Democrats to push this sort of thing, but I don't I do not expect Republicans to go along with it. But it is 370 pages released last night. And oh, and by the way. It's actually upwards of $118 billion.

Do you know how much of it actually goes towards the border? Only twenty. Only 20 billion out of 118 billion. goes towards the border. They want to give Most of it actually in A to Ukraine.

I know. Mm-hmm.

Now Johnson says he wants a House vote on a clean standalone bill for Israel. Any kind of aid that they may be, and allow them to buy Israel wants to buy weapons. That's the thing. Like, we're not talking about welfare weaponry to Israel. Israel wants to buy weapons.

I don't know why the administration has always been skittish about doing that, but yet they'll give weaponry to Ukraine. And they wouldn't let, they've blocked efforts previously to allow Taiwan to purchase weapons. We've talked to Stephen Yates about that before. It's weird. It's almost like you want your strongest allies in different parts of the world to fail.

I mean, that's the position that you would have if that's what your intended goal was. Asinine.

So, in addition to this, We have I gotta share with you some of this other stuff. The five people who were here in the country illegally that were caught on video. beating to New York. Police officers. and then they were released without bail.

So now, finally, where has he been? Where has Alvin Bragg been? Have you wondered where Alvin Bragg was? Because I was wondering where Alvin Bragg was.

Well now Alvin Bragg has entered the chat and he says that he wants to track down. these migrants who allegedly attacked two New York officers. Wait, you had them in custody already. Why would Isn't that a little bit too little too late? You literally had them in custody.

That's where we got the whole imagery of imagery of them going in. to get processed and he was flipping off the camera. That's where that came from. That video and subsequent meme, that's where it came from. I mean, and he said, he's saying that there's some others out there that haven't been identified.

Well, where was he at? You know what? He was asked on video. Do you remember? This was February 3rd.

That video came out where he was asked on camera, well, why did you release? Why did you release these illegal entrants who attacked these cops? You released them without bail. Why did you do that? And he wouldn't say anything.

So now, oh, now, guys, he's real serious. He wants to. They well, they were they were arrested and charged, but they they were released because with no charge of our lack of evidence. It was according to police. And that was last Saturday when that happened.

Now, some of them They think This is going to make you angry. Four of them that they claimed were involved in the attack that were released without bail.

Now they are suspected of having fled by bus to California using a church-affiliated charity. I wonder what that is. I wonder what the name of that charity is, Kane. I'm just wondering. I bet it has two names.

Two words in his name.

So now you had them though. You wouldn't have needed a that's but I feel like now he's just saying that to cover his bot. He has no interest, he just knows that they're gone, they've skipped town. He knows that they've skipped town. It's so stupid.

This is so dumb. Oh my gosh. This just... says the state of our government. And The individuals that were arrested.

If you had wondered whether or not they've had a record, you're you're correct in your suspicion. In fact, so six had been had were were charged, but five were released with no bail. And police are still looking for a few others that they think were involved somehow in this whole thing. Only this one 24-year-old remains behind bars. But they said that four of the ones that had been released with no bail, those are the ones that they think fled to California.

And The I think all of them had a record. Yeah, all of them had a record. In fact, the guy who is in custody now, the 24-year-old. He was, let's see, his charges petty larceny. He stole from Bergdwarf Goodman in October.

And he wasn't stealing bread and stuff. He was stealing luxury items.

So one of the reports I said I saw, he was like he was trying to steal like designer clothes and all this stuff. And he stole from Macy's, Bergdorf Goodman.

Some of them had previous records with of assault. uh battery. The other guy had stolen from a Nordstrom Uh let's see, yeah, so Need uh I mean, yes, they had all all of them had a previous record with authorities. All of them dead, every single one of them. Every one of them.

Huh. I mean, it's now you have Hokul saying, oh, well, you know, you don't touch our police officers. You mean the ones that you guys wanted to defund, right? And that you ran down? For forever?

Those those ones?

Now, speaking of law and order in New York, do you guys remember when Eric Adams was talking about that robot? Do you remember that little police spot that looked like that Gosh, I can't remember the name of it now. From Doctor Who, the little trash can with the toilet plunger. The Dalek Yeah.

So they had these robot security cops, right? And they were these weird-looking. WALL-E type things. I don't know. And it said NYPD on it.

And it was basically a security camera. And I think it could talk to you in its little robot voice. And they unveiled a whole fleet of them. Remember, they spent a lot of money on this. And it was going to be, they put these NYPD bots in the transit system, in the subway system.

And now they, and Eric Adams gave this big speech where he said that these things are part of the fabric of our future and all that stuff. And they put, they had. Uh He He did a photo op with it. Can we stop doing the heart thing? Because I'm so tired of this.

Where they do this? Because he did a photo where he did it with the robot. Like. But he only had one part of it, so it looked dumb. But now they're no longer being deployed.

Yeah, they're not uh they're not using them anymore. Oh. I love this. It says: it's unclear whether the AI program was considered a success. What?

But everyone talked about these things like Crime has risen in virtually every category in New York, even after these things were deployed.

Now, they leased these, what they called fully autonomous bots, for six months. For I think it's was it $12,500 per bot? That's a good question. I feel like it was more It they called it a K-5 device. And it had the NYPD colors and all of this stuff, and it can move at an astonishing speed of three miles per hour.

Mm. And they said the that the robot $12,500 robot can capture video footage but not audio. And members of the public could press a button to report an emergency or ask questions.

So In 2015, one of the robots knocked a baby to the ground and ran over its feet. Then there was in DC when another one of these robots yeeted itself into the fountain in a sad attempt at suicide. And yeah, it rolled itself. I love how it was described as the K-5 model rolled itself fatally into a fountain.

Some of the MTA employees said, they told the New York Post, we don't think they're working. They were saying, we don't think that they're actually working. They're just kind of sitting there. 400-pound egg-shaped thing. They go, one MTA worker said, I think it's just to scare people.

It didn't do a damn thing. It's what she said. It's what she told New York Post. It's so funny. They're like, We need police, not robots.

And it worked eighteen hour shifts and then I had to go, I guess, get charged or something like that. And uh it just I'm actually surprised they weren't graffitied. I will say I, you know, I was I was wondering whether or not that was going to happen. But think about this: they're leasing them for $12,500. And I'm assuming that's like one bot.

Why would you lease a bot that can't even record audio? If somebody fell on the tracks, it can't do anything. It's not armed, it can't do nothing.

Well you could for that amount you could have two officers there. or one really well paid, r really well trained security guy at the busiest. Transit stops. Do you see what I'm saying? Why?

That is so dumb. You could have two well-trained dudes and that would be a nice salary. What in the world? I mean, like, not like trained, like NYPD trained. Like, you could have like spec op dudes there.

If it's that worrisome, if you can spend $12,500 for a stupid robot to patrol one transit system. Then you can one stop, then surely. You could have like an actual person who can carry a gun. and can save people if they fall on the tracks, right? That little bot can't do anything.

Golly. Yeah, they people have said that it was a waste of taxpayer money. You think?

Alright, as we move, I just wanna go to the range and blow some holes through stuff. Get my sub 2K. I need the Gen 3 now. I don't have the Gen 3, but I need the Gen 3. The Sub 2K is gun origami.

The whole thing twists. It's a 9mm carbine. It's awesome. It's so innovative. I think George Kellgren's like a mad in a good way scientist.

He's like one of the nicest people I've ever met. He just smiles, he's all very friendly. And he he You know, doesn't he's a man of few words, but he's super smart. He uh redesigned this. You got the Gen 3, and in the old sub-2K, you would have to take your optics off the top.

You could still fold the whole thing in half, which is awesome, but you would have to take your stuff off. With the Gen 3, the whole thing, simple twist and fold motion, there's this patent pending rotating foren. You can twist in either direction, it folds the whole thing right in half with optics and all. It's Awesome and it easily deploys it just as smoothly. And they've also upgraded the aluminum trigger, they redesigned the trigger mechanics.

You got a lightened five-pound pull, upgraded action, they got a new chamber indicator. This is it's awesome. It's Keltech made in America, family-owned values at its best. And we need more companies like Keltech. And I need a sub-2K Gen 3.

So, yeah, I'm just saying, you know, it really feels like. Uh this uh I don't know she's What is w Yeah. Can you see her making a major policy address? I can't. You can't, can you?

Mm-mm. You can't because it's just not not. It sounds goofy. I my idea. you know what kind of country we went to live in is where Swear We have a you know actual enforce border law and where government leaves me alone and stops taking all my money to go and send elsewhere and and spend on entitlements for people who break into the country and inter illegally.

Things like that, you know. That's kind of what I that's those are the things that I like.

So some of the stuff that we have coming up in our subsequent Our here. We are have More on the border bill. We've been doing a deep dive into it bit by bit. And Democrat senators are really pushing it. House Speaker.

Johnson says it's DOA. In the meantime, do you know that while they've been complaining about all of these? illegal entrance coming up to New York. New York City has launched a $53 million program to give prepaid debit cards to people who enter the country illegally and they can spend it in bodegas. Or sorry, as uh what's her face?

Uh Jill Biden says bogadas. Is that what she says? Boda oh, how did she say it? I can't even say it. Boduga?

That's even dumber. Callie. Users have to sign an affidavit saying that they're only going to use it for like food and supplies and that. And so it would it's New York taxpayer funded $1,000 a month. No joke.

We're going to talk about that as well because don't you what do you think that's going to do? Do you think that that's going to incentivize more people to come to New York or fewer people to come to New York? We're going to get into that. We also have Congressman Chip Roy. He's going to dissect this.

It may be the most reprehensible thing that I've seen take place over the past 48 hours when you see police officers in New York City being beaten by illegal immigrants in this country who should not be in the country in the first place. And then after they engage in this crime against a law enforcement officer, they are let loose back out onto the streets. What's going on in New York is outrageous. And Americans across the entire country are angry, not just about what's going on in New York, but the underlying cause for it, which is Joe Biden's open border policy. And if you thought that New York learned from it, they didn't, because now they've launched a $53 million program to give prepaid debit cards to people who enter the country illegally.

which is going to incentivize Even more people who entered the country illegally to go to New York. And then they're going to have Kathy Hochul and Eric Adams complain about it. And then they're going to keep doing it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you.

Also, find us on Facebook.

Now, they say the cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores.

Sorry, Dr. Jill Biden calls the bodegas what, Kane? Bodegas. Bodegas. Si c'est poadu.

She's never gonna let that down. It's horrible. I laugh every time I hear that hysterically. It just never stops being as funny as the first time I've heard it. And it's $1,000 a month, so a family of four can get $1,000 a month.

Taxpayer funded. dollars. That's That's crazy. $1,000 a month. That's pretty wild.

Prepaid cards. Yeah. But now you can only go to those things and you got to get your food and your supplies, etc. That's just, like I said, it's going to incentivize. more illegal entries.

Oh, and then the cards get refilled every twenty-eight days.

So it's $1,000 per month for a family of four. Kana's not happy. and they refill them. every twenty eight days. Yeah.

Our veterans don't even get this kind of treatment. They don't get like nice cushy hotel stays. you know, for unlimited periods of time. They don't get $1,000 a month. They've gone out and they've bled for our country.

They don't get $1,000 a month. This is wild. Hell, they could walk right up to the VA and still not get standards. Exactly. The program is being run uh by a company called Mo.

Cuff I M O C A F I. And they say it's a financial services platform, blah, blah, blah, and so that's what they're so they're refilling them and then every twenty-eight days they refill them. And they, this was literally the quote from Kayla Mamalik, who is Adams' spokesperson. I want you to listen to this. Not only will this provide families with the ability to purchase fresh food for their culturally relevant diets.

What? The pilot program is expected to save New York City more than $600,000 per month. Wait, what? How is it you're wait, so you're spending a thousand dollars? per family every month.

How are you? What? So I don't understand the culturally relevant diet. If you wanted a culturally relevant diet, you should have thought about that before you entered the country illegally. You don't get to illegally enter a country and then demand.

It's like me going to. I'm trying to think. Tell me, so it's like me going to Saudi Arabia and demanding, you know. Big Macs. Or me going to, yeah, any other country, any other country.

Right. Me going to Mexico and demanding Taco Bell or something. I don't know. See what I'm saying? It's just so, this is so insane.

I liked Kane pointed out. I liked what Babylon B had done because, you know, with this border bill, which is a giant piece of. just giant garbage. They are saying well after 1.8 million people Entered illegally, you know, after 1.8 million people entered illegally, then. Uh we're gonna Then we'll close the border.

Right. And what did Babylon Beast say? Like, well, after 1.8 million murders. Yeah, after 5,000 murders a day, then murder will become illegal. Yeah, then we'll then we'll make it illegal after that.

Wow.

So It's just pretty woof woof woof woof woof. Pretty wild.

So this is the Uh I'm No, I mean, there's no, do you see how this cycle is continued and is encouraged? I mean, I'm just, if you haven't read through, I mean, I don't, I don't anticipate that people are going to read, you know, they can't read through. A giant 300-something page bill that's dropped last night. I mean, you got to get up and you got to go to work in the morning. You know, you you have to pay for all this taxpayer funded stuff.

You know, you heard jo Governor Greg Abbott who said that it was insanity to do this stuff. to to to these prepaid cards like this. Abbott says that Texas has sent about 37,600 illegal immigrants to New York City. since, yeah, August of what, twenty twenty two, more than any other city. But It's among more than the 150.

thousand that have arrived because Biden's been sending people up there as well. That's one of the things that they won't tell you. Biden's been doing this long before. He's been sending illegal immigrants to these other cities for quite some time.

So, this border bill, $118 billion, of which only $20 billion is actually going to be spent on. The border. The House isn't going to support it. They are going, they're not going to encourage basically the fluoresc amendment on steroids. Uh because they're going to still expedite people who come in with kids.

So that's the one thing that changes is that's going to be official.

So that's going to encourage the child trafficking. They said $40 billion is going to be allotted to respond to situations in four and other foreigners. policies or foreign situations like uh Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel. But only twenty billion for the border. It is Any Republican pushing this is a traitor to the people.

And that's and again, that's not a strong sentence to say. When you consider that throughout American history, every single time something like this has been proposed and become law, you have lost, it doesn't get walked back. You don't walk it back. You didn't get to walk back Obamacare, and that was when we had a Republican president, a Republican House. You didn't get to do that.

Wait, it didn't happen. We didn't see 2A infringements rolled back. We haven't seen fiscal. Restrictions or regulations rolled by. I haven't seen any of this.

When it becomes law, it's law. It's uh j it's just garbage, absolute garbage. And then you, with this too, in this bill, one of the other things that, because there's bits and pieces, you can. Speed read it using control F because honestly, that's what I've been doing, is going through and looking at different aspects of it. One of the other things you've got, what D.C.

federal judges, they're giving them control over an immigration system. That's one of the things that is happening with this bill.

So don't trust this, you know, the proposal that because, oh, we're going to have more judges involved with adjudicating these cases, et cetera. No, no, no, because you're giving them, it's all under Biden DOJ and you're giving them to DC, D.C. judges. This is this is it's just it's a farce, it's an absolute farce. And additionally, by centralizing a lot of these decisions that are affecting mostly border states.

You know, as Kane points out, you're also removing state sovereignty to be able to. control what happens within its own borders. I mean, it is, it is, this is bad. There's nothing about this that's good. Bill Meluja noted that the $60 billion in Ukraine assistance.

In this bill is larger than the entire budget that the U.S. Marine Corps requested for the fiscal year 2024. The entire budget that the U.S. Marine Corps requested for 2024. was fifty three billion.

The Ukraine assistance in the Senate deal is $60 billion. We are spending more money on Ukraine than we are our own military. We are spending more money on a foreign land dispute. With a weakened Russia, that if it was going to challenge NATO, would have had no problems in taking over Ukraine. with the resistance that it found.

We are spending more on that than we are on our own military. That is inexcusable.

So, no, it is. It's it's It is Uh A slap in the face to American voters. And it gives the DC District Court. not just authority, and this is one of the things I wanted to point out. And this is it under judicial review on this subsection.

Let me just read this. This is page two something. It says, notwithstanding any other provision of this act, judicial review of any decision or action in this section shall be governed only by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which shall have sole and original jurisdiction to hear challenges, whether constitutional or otherwise, to the validity of this section or any written policy directive, written policy guideline, written policy procedure, or the implementation thereof issued by or under the authority of the Secretary to implement the section.

So, the big sentence is only by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. They have sole and original jurisdiction.

So, what does this mean? It means that. This bill grants the D. C. District Court, the far left D.

C. District Court, absolute exclusive, unquestionable authority over any and all current and future immigration disputes. Do you trust that? Do you want to do you want to have that be permanent law? This is what I would ask all of these Republican lawmakers that are, any of the Republican lawmakers that are supporting this.

There seems to be few in the House, more in the Senate, but Do you support that? Because that's ultimately that's what you have. Ken Paxton notes that It's a disaster. and it enshrines open border policies. And he also points out that the legal challenges Two these provisions to be heard in a highly partisan DC court.

And this is as a way, it's a penalty to Texas because Texas, as he noted, created major slowdowns. to this open borders doctrine. Because we because and as Paxton notes, quote, our constitutional system allows us to sue the federal government in fair venues. What Biden, Mayorkas, and the Senate Union Party in the swamp want to do is prevent the Texas AG and all other state AGs from acting as a check on the federal government's tyrannical abuses of power.

So, what AG Paxton is noting is that all of these challenges that you see being brought by these AGs, this is the way to strip them of that ability to do so and centralize it in D.C. with the D.C. district court. That's exactly what this is. This is one of the remaining checks and balances that Republicans have been able to use on an unaccountable Biden administration regarding this open border doctrine, and they are removing it in this bill, stripping it entirely That is not an exaggeration, as I literally just read verbatim the passage to you.

And they are enshrining it in the DC, far-left DC district court.

So, when I say that Republicans, any Republican lawmaker supporting this, is a traitor. the Republic. That is not an exaggeration. You don't walk something like this back once it's made law. You do not once you give away your sovereignty, your state sovereignty, once you give away the power of the AG to be able to temper what the federal government is doing, you're not going to get it back.

Point to me at any time in American history where that has happened. It hasn't. We have more on the way. We have headlines coming up. And speaking of infringements, Imagine this is just one variable.

So take immigration. Once they establish this precedent, imagine what they would do for everything else. Consider Second Amendment.

So there's a guy up in New York. He is a longtime hobbyist. And he's been creating as a hobbyist for his own personal possession, he builds his own firearms, which is a completely legal and acceptable to do. That is according to our federal statutes. It's absolutely allowed to you can do it.

Well, New York decided that they wanted to criminalize a bunch of things, and now, ex post facto, they're going to try to go after him and retroactively punish him for completely illegal behavior with completely illegal items, inanimate objects, for laws that they had just passed. We're going to talk to him about that here coming up because it's a case that has ramifications that go way beyond the Second Amendment if you think it doesn't concern you, because it will. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, Britain's King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer. The 75-year-old monarch has postponed all of his public duties. He just went in for a procedure on an enlarged prostate. They said that there was a mass there that was benign.

However, this cancer is not of his prostate. It's another form. They haven't been specific, but they said that it was a separate issue of concern that was noted, and subsequent diagnostic tests have identified it. And so now he's going to receive treatment for that. Also, This looks like men benefit more from their looks at work than women do.

Woohoo hoo, according to new research. Because you've always heard that women use their looks to get ahead in their careers. Actually, men reap greater benefits from being attractive in the workplace. A recent study of more than 11,000 Americans conducted over 20 years found that good-looking dudes are more likely to attain better jobs and make more money than their similarly attractive female counterparts. These were sociologists from Oslo and the Polish Academy of Sciences.

They looked at all of this for quite a span of time and they said, yes, that looks, will play a role, but that good-looking dudes apparently used it more to their advantage than good-looking chicks, and actually, it was more effective. It's interesting. Los Angeles faces a high risk of flash flooding as an atmospheric river takes aim at Southern California. Isn't that the Pineapple Express? Isn't that what it is?

Yeah, it's happening now. And NASA has tracked a stadium-sized asteroid that passed by Earth but was not a threat. It is not smod because smod would have hit us. Smod 2024. It would have hit us.

So they said, no, it passed Earth. It's fine.

So just everyone, you know, it's not, you know, there you go. Let's see, there's Kansas Wildlife Officials removed an Angler's trophy catch from the state record list. It was in what a 60-year-old fishing record, catchable lifetime. and they removed it. Uh they said this is like a r oh it's a a white crappy is what it's called.

Yeah, crappie? I don't know. That's this horrible written article is the lame. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show Podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So you probably saw, if you follow me anywhere on social media, I can't believe I'm just finding out about this story like in the past week because this is one of the craziest stories I've, and there's a lot of crazy stories regarding firearms coming out of New York. This is a wild one.

So just to break it down, and we're going to have this gentleman on as our guest here, just to give you some backstory in Brooklyn, you know, American man building guns is a hobbyist. You know, he's fascinated with putting things together, as are a lot of people. You know, he's a hobbyist. He builds, you know, firearms. He gets, you know, receivers.

He builds different things. I love the way that the media described that he had a whole arsenal. He had like a few things. That was it. They make him sound like he's like Bert Gummer from Tremors or something.

Like he's got like, he made an elephant gun or something like this. But he's a 52-year-old native New Yorker, software engineer. He likes building stuff. And I was reading this great piece. Jeff Charles has a piece over at Red State.

And he has no criminal record. He's not Hunter Biden. You know, he's, you know, he's just doing his thing. And because New York doesn't want to issue any permits, they're slow walking everything. New York is trying to do everything possible to make it where people cannot be armed to protect themselves or to even enjoy machinery as a hobby.

They're going after this guy and they're trying to put him in jail for 18 years for doing nothing but legal activity with legal inanimate objects. And some of this, and I was talking to a couple of lawyer friends of mine, it seems weird to try to ex post facto go after someone. And I don't know to me, that seems like clownish. That's a clown move. And I don't know what kind of scrutiny that's going to uphold in a court of law.

But I wanted to bring on our friend here to talk about this, Dexter Taylor, aka Carbon Mike. He's got his podcast. He's online. He's also, I mean, he's, and I say this because I think it's a compliment. He's a nerd.

Right. He loves math. He loves machining things. He loves software. He's all look at all the stuff he's got behind him.

That's a nerd man cave right there. But Carbon Mike, aka Dexter. First off, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention so we can get the story out here. I know Jeff Charles at Red State and some really other great folks have been doing this too. I just want to get, I want to make everybody familiar with this.

Everybody knows, you know, ghost guns is such a goofy name.

So many people I know make their own firearms and you don't have to serialize them. That's federal law. It's USC 1822 or 18 USC 922 A through Z. You don't have to serialize them unless you're selling them, which you're not doing. Correct.

Correct. Not only, you know, basically, not only did they not intend to transfer or sell them or anything else. The state of New York should know this because, of course, they seized my daily driver, my computer, my regular desktop, my work laptop. They seized my phone. They seized my credit cards.

They said, you know, my email records.

So they know that I wasn't out there talking about guns. I wasn't out there advertising guns. I wasn't out there talking about them on social media. And I certainly wasn't talking or thinking about transferring weapons. These were my weapons, my rifles.

I named them. You know what I'm saying? And I was trying to start my second career. In weapon science, right? I was, I had all these plans to buy some land in New Hampshire and, you know, build a gun lab and, you know, like kind of bring my expertise as a software guy and as a data guy to firearms.

I was looking up to guys like Bill Geisley from Geisley Automatics, you know, who got his first contract, right? Building triggers for the U.S. Army Sharpshooting Group. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.

So so you are home reading an audio book. Or listening to an audio book. You're relaxing, and you heard something. Yeah. That was not in the audio book.

You heard voices that were not the people in the audio book.

So you had no tip off to this. Tell everybody what happened to you.

So, yeah, the night before, this was like April 6th, I believe, 2022. The night before, I'd gone to bed like I usually do, listen to an audio book. I woke up. And I was hearing sounds, like you said, that weren't the audio book. Um Voices and then I heard a bang, and the voices were louder like they were inside my living space.

And then I saw weapon lights flickering back and forth underneath my bedroom door. Um And so the first thing I said was, Hello, hello, hello. My name is Dexter Taylor. Who are you guys looking for? Because I thought they had the wrong house.

Do you know what I'm saying? Because it's like it never would have occurred to me that the state of New York would be like, we have to get this guy. Right. Wow.

So, because again, I never carried weapons. I never talked about them. I never did anything like that. Never have a record. You're squeaky clean.

At the time I was rated, I was a member in good standing of the Westside Rifle and Pistol Range in New York.

So I had passed their background check, okay? And again, you've seen my work online. I'm not out there saying anything or doing anything that would make even a reasonable non-two way enthusiast say, This guy shouldn't have weapons. You see what I'm saying?

So, yeah.

So, I said, Hello, hello. You guys looking for it? And they said, We're here for you. And so, I said, I played it cool and you know, came out of my bedroom and got locked up like a gentleman. And they ransacked my house, took my weapons, took my tools, and that was that.

Wow.

Took everything. And now they're going to, they try to get you, they try to make you accept what, eight years? And you said no. You told them to go pound sand, from what I understand, rightfully so. Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am. They, I spent this was, so by the way, I was arrested. They took me off to birth the local jail, I guess that was the 85 Precinct, 85th Precinct. And then I went to Rikers.

So I was in Rikers Island for a week, right?

Now, my bail, right, to get out of Rikers, my bail was almost a quarter of a million dollars.

Okay.

Now, this is in a city. This is in a city. where people can beat up on cops. on camera and walk. Right?

This is a city where a nutty A professor from adjunct professor from Hunter College can chase a cameraman down the street in the Bronx with a deadly weapon, okay, and trapes into the precinct and trapes out the same day.

So when people say, When people say that this whole obsession with violating our rights is about public safety. That's a lie. Yeah, I'm inclined to say they're lying. Yes, he's so polite. It's a lie.

It's absolutely a lie. I mean, this, we're talking with our friend Dexter Taylor, aka Carbon Mike, who was raided by New York in this joint SWAT ATF Task Force theatrical stunt because they're accusing him of being in violation of, he's not in violation of the law, but they're accusing him of being in violation of the law. I was reading the press release: legal possession of ghost guns, which is such a dumb, such a dumb phrase. I prefer the term traditional guns. Oh, I love that.

That's right. Traditional.

Well, that's absolutely right. It's squarely within the history and tradition of the United States. Absolutely right. And let me say this. You know, look.

Look. It's no, I mean, I myself am of no political affiliation. I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican.

Okay.

But. It's worth noting that New York State is run by Democrats. New York City is run by Democrats. These are the same people. These are the people who are telling me and telling people like me, right, that there's murderous white supremacists hiding behind rocks and bushes and trees, waiting to jump out and lynch us from the nearest traffic light.

Do you see what I'm saying? So, if these murderous white supremacists and Klan members are the biggest threat to domestic safety, and you care about my health and wellbeing.

Well, why are you willing to actually defy the highest court in the land? Why are you willing to contravene the laws of this republic? To disarm me. Isn't that odd for someone who says they care about you? Yeah, and for an entity that says that this is about public safety.

When clearly they don't care about public safety, I was looking at these charges. They said, oh, goodness, everything. Numerous ghost gun kits, component parts. Oh, he's got he's violating the, what is it, criminal possession of a firearm prohibition, unfinished frames of receivers, one kind of unlawful possession, pistol ammunition. Oh, no, it's not pistol ammunition.

Oh, my goodness. You can be the son of the president of the United States and you can dispose of an illegally purchased handgun literally across the street from an elementary school, not even properly holstered in a pouch covered with cocaine. And that's all right. But you making firearms in the spirit of our founders, the historical American tradition, that's a no-no.

Well, you know, as you're talking, I realize what my mistake was. If I had had some. Russian hookers and maybe a couple of baseball-sized crack rocks, it would have been a problem. But I Just identify as Hunter Biden at this point. Just say, no, no, no, I'm Hunter Biden.

I'm Hunter now. Did you say identify as Hunter? Am I going to be a trans Hunter? But I don't know. Respect my pronouns, Dana.

Respect my pronouns. Apparently, it works. Apparently, it works. We're talking to Dexter Taylor.

So I know that you're fighting this. And, you know, I was telling people. The thing that what I find I mean, I think your case is terrifying as a Second Amendment supporter, practitioner, gun owner, shooter. It's scary because if they can just create law and then try to retroactively penalize you for it just at their discretion, that's frightening. But also, firearms is just a variable that I want people who maybe do not have firearms or who are not as invested in the Second Amendment as we are.

This is a formula and guns are the variable. They can go after anything at this point if they're allowed to have your case set as a precedent.

Well, they can and they do. You know, it's funny. Like I have I have um I have a lot of uh friends overseas, uh you know, my my kind of conservative poor man's think tank, the foundation of society. Kind of first, I guess, gained prominence with people on the other side of the ocean because I had done a few interviews with James Dellingpole from Breitbart. In the UK, for example, right?

It's not just guns that are banned, right? It's like edged weapons. I believe brass knuckles are illegal. I believe, like, you can't carry around a blackjack, a cosh, right?

So when they say it's the guns, Like they're lying because if it was really the guns, then they wouldn't also go after edged weapons. That's right. You see what I'm saying?

They wouldn't also go after force multipliers like brass knuckles.

So it's not about the guns. And you can look at any place where guns are illegal. Chances are they've banned a whole lot of other weapons that are not ranged weapons, that are not firearms. You know what I'm saying? So this is fundamentally, in my opinion, about the relationship between the citizen.

The state, and there are people who think that we should be their servants. And that's a problem. I mean, that's just a problem. It's antithetical to the American spirit. Absolutely.

Dexter Taylor. I want to stay in touch with you, and I want to bring you back on for regular updates about this case because they're going to take you through the ringer on this, obviously, as you know. What can people do to help? Because cases like this aren't cheap. I know that.

Yes, ma'am. I do have a give send go. The link is in my Twitter profile. I believe it's give send go/slash. Oh, we got it right down at the bottom.

We got it right down there. Lower third, right there. And we'll put this out online too. Thank you. But I think more more importantly than that, of course, is um First, keep those prayers coming.

I need all the help I can get. And second, Um Just spread the word. You see, the optics of this case are obviously very, very bad for New York State. You know, like they thought they had gotten some guy who was a gangbanger or had a record as long as your arm or what have you. And then they thought they could flash like this large number, you know, like 18 years, and I'd fold, and then they could shuffle me off to the oubliette and we'd be done.

But the fact is, I'm not doing that. I'm going to stand up. And so the optics are bad for them, but that presupposes that people are watching.

So the more people know about this, the more people talk about this, the more people like you who are generous enough to give me a hot mic, The better because I'll run my mouth all day about this and show what these people are about. Absolutely. And however, we can help where we're in. This is just a crazy story. Dexter Taylor, we're going to follow it.

We're going to check in with you and get updates about this. And people can go to the GiveS and Go. We're going to make sure we have this link included with the video as well. Because this is one of those cases, I think, where you're actually investing in fighting for your rights because it could be a court case. If it's allowed to stand as a precedent, this will be used against everybody at some point.

Dexter, I so appreciate you, my friend.

So we'll keep in touch. We're going to have you back on and we'll follow the story. Thank you so much for bringing this up and fighting the good fight. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man.

So, I have a couple. I have a whole handful. First off, there was a Florida man who tried to sick his pit bull on police, and then the pit bull attacked the Florida man. Didn't actually work. You're doing that, you're not a good dog owner.

It was Palm Beach Post who said that it was in South Riviera Beach. It was a reported burglary. Cops arrived and they observed the guy matching the description of the suspect. He was carrying hair products. And they ordered the guy to lay on the ground.

He did so while hugging his dog. He told officers, Y'all gonna have to kill us before getting up and trying to run away. They fired a stun gun, temporarily knocking him back to the ground. He got up again, and as officers pursued, he released the dog from its leash and yelled, kill him, boy, kill him, and pointed at the officers. And the dog, because it has morals, just literally took a t I think it about ripped a butt cheek off.

And then it bit his head. He was uh taken to St. Mary's Medical Center. I hope, yeah, it's a very good boy. His alcoholic boy, I hope that.

I I don't know what happened to the dog, but uh nothing better happened to the dog. You don't want me finding out right now after just losing Rocco that something happened to that dog because it's not going to be nice. It's going to turn into John Wick.

So there you go. Oh, by the way, speaking of dogs, the Snoop Dogg bobblehead statue. The Cantina Laredo, it was returned. Two it was like $2,500 no sorry $1,250 Bobblehead. Uh it was returned.

Buy the to the cash register. It was like a special collectible. I cannot believe this dude stole this thing and then got arrested for it. And because of the price, it's like, you know, it's a felony, it's grand theft. Oh my gosh.

Can you imagine? What are you in for? I stole a bobblehead. It's grand theft. Yeah.

Stole a bobblehead. That He can really pick 'em. A uh Florida man purchased a Porsche 9-11 turbo with a homemade check. Wow.

So Casey William Kelly, he's got three first names. Made a false check, he literally made it up at home apparently to purchase a $140,000 Porsche 9-11 turbo. He has been charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and and uttering a false banknote. That's apparently a charge per Walton County Sheriff's Office. He uses home computer and printer to copy and print a convincing looking cashier's check.

Who accepted this? And they had no idea. The place in Destin apparently had no idea. And he had the keys and title, and he drove off. And then they learned it was no good, and so they contacted Okaloosa Sheriff's Office.

They found him. Oh my gosh. Like you couldn't Really? I think you're gonna be like reviewing your Standards for accepting cashier's checks after that. Stick with us.

We got a lot more in store. Third hour on the way. Tell you you're getting the notices right now. You're going to get notices. This time you're going to not have any doubt about what's hit.

It's going to be my name on the Bible. But guess what? It's not only a good thing to do, it drove the economy.

So Joe Biden is saying that his student debt cancellation, that it's free and it's not costing people anything. Except you're we're all paying for it. Yeah. He's in charge. Yeah.

Guys, November's going to be here before you know it. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash here with you top of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program.

Watch the video component of the broadcast, the simulcast over at Channel 347 Direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, as well. And we've talked about this. This is just a vote buying scheme. That's all it is. And it's mostly for the people that are in his His administration, it's mostly for those people.

And then of course what government workers as well? We've gone through it, but the fact that he keeps pushing this and that it's like this, it means it's free college is so. That's Why is it that we have to pay for everybody's college when these universities could be using their endowments? And they're sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars, a lot of these, and particularly the universities that are benefiting the most. From this bailout of the academic aristocracy.

I mean there's no other way to put it. Between this and the stuff with the border, my heavens. And speaking of that, we're going to have Congressman Chip Roy coming up at the bottom of this hour to talk about that because the U.S. Chamber is saying, no, no, no. We need this bill.

Y'all need to pass it. Roy's not inclined, if the tone in his tweets are any indication, But there's some There's a little bit of spiciness happening right now in the house because you had Dan Crenshaw out there saying this is. How did he say it was a. That people were getting too that overworked over this this bill. That is not the way to do it.

Not the way to do it. Just gonna say. Not the way to do it. That's like telling a man to calm down. I think telling a man to calm down makes a dude angrier than telling a woman to calm down makes a woman angrier.

Try it. I have. It works. I don't know, like. Oh no.

I just feel like it's not, you know. I'm just gonna say, feels like it isn't. Goodness. And we're going to talk, we're going to break down more of this border stuff too, because it is just a, it's just an absolute. Crazy hot mess.

This is why everything in 2024 is so incredibly important. I mean, look at the cases we got that are going to be coming up before SCODUS. And then we've got. You know, if this, think about this: like, say that we lose everything, heaven forbid, but just say that we lose, you know, that, and the biggest defeat that we would have would be ourselves if we do not have great voter turnout. And that's previously what's always done us in before: is low voter turnout.

All of this stuff that you're going to see at the border, they're going to compound it, it's going to be made worse. You're gonna see, I promise you, they're gonna come out with something that expands 1.8 million. As soon as they hit the 1.8 million illegal entry mark, they're going to expand it. Who knows? Who knows to how much?

That's exactly what they're going to do.

So there's so many things that are on deck, so many things that are that are way too important. I mean this uh What of it? $118 billion, $40 billion. That's it, or sorry, 20 billion, only 20 billion. for the border.

Only $20 billion for the border. And even then This I just can't imagine saying that, okay, well, we're going to allow law breaking this many times. And then once we law break this many times, then we're going to say, okay, that's it, no more law breaking.

Well, that's not where the law gets its strength. There's no consistency in application there. I mean, this is just asinine. Kane's pointing out: what is this from? Chris Murphy?

You're pointing. I guess he would co-authored some of this stuff. Yes, yes. Apparently. The system is allowing so when more than 5,000 people cross the day, the border never closes, but the claims now have to be processed at the specific ports of entry.

So So, not only do 5,000 come over illegally, but then they don't close the border at that point, and they usher them towards the ports of entry. And then we'll have. Government paid lawyers. And then, what we're also included in this border bill, don't forget, is they're stripping from the attorneys general all across the United States the ability to be able to provide a check and balance on the federal government with this lawlessness, the way that you've seen Ken Paxton and the way that you've seen the Missouri AG, Indiana AG, Texas AG, all these other AGs that have been having to really do a lot of stuff to temper this. They're going to strip them of their ability to do that by centralizing all authority over anything related to immigration, deportation, detainment to the DC Circuit.

That's in the bill. It's in the bill. I've read it. I read a passage out loud last hour. Just asinine.

So that's a huge part of it. 370 pages. They dumped it last night. And you're, there's, this is, it's like worse than what we have. If that it could be imagined.

And what makes it even worse is that there's so many Republicans that are on board with it. I mean, there's some in the Senate. This is a lot of this big con stuff. I want to talk about big con for a moment here.

So Friday, I don't know if you followed this story. Lorraine has a great piece that just ran up at Substack on chapter and verse, my substack that you can go and look at.

So. I was noting that in the 26th congressional district in Texas, I don't really get involved in a lot of the like Senate or congressional primaries and all that other stuff because there's so much happening. And I always feel like it's the candidate's responsibility to, it's the candidate that has to persuade people to vote for them. It's nobody else's job to do that. I mean, good grief.

I always think that candidates who require other people to persuade people to vote for them, they're already outsourcing their job. And we have too many people like that in DC. But one of the things that I noticed with this is that in this primary, and it's kind of a crowded primary, and you've got, and I don't want to, you know, there, I have a lot of friends that are involved in this. And I don't want to, you know, name names, but I'll say like the top three contenders is like the mayor of my town, a guy who is the son of a Texas legacy candidate. And then another guy who is the son-in-law of a commentator.

And One of the guys is, you know, older and is kind of moderate, you know, and he's he, I just don't think of uh. You know, conservative ideals, the way that we need to return to them with the older guy. And the other guy literally just moved in from New York and has literally never worked a day in the private sector and lived in the Trump Tower and has his father-in-law that's literally buying the seat for him. None of this stuff is exaggerated. I mean, that's what it is.

When you create a pack and you fund it exclusively and you're buying Republican dinners and all this other stuff, I mean, that's just, it's some of the dirtier politics I've seen, but it's also antithetical to the conservative spirit that really fuels the movement that created the Tea Party that I helped co-found back in 2008, 2009, and also led the way to Trump taking the White House and all this other stuff, tax cuts, et cetera, et cetera. It's antithetical to the spirit of that movement because we don't believe in political aristocracy and we don't believe, i.e., we haven't fought in the streets for as long as we have against the old establishment for New York people to make themselves the new establishment. And so there's, you know, there was a contingent from New York that was trying to, you know, get involved and going after some people. In that 26th district for speaking out. And that made me angry because I don't like to see people try to big time in a district.

I just, I really just rubs me the wrong way. And one of those guys worked with George Santos, right? He was like his right-hand guy. And he got real nasty about it. And we exchanged some barbs on social media because George Santos had made this cameo where he was reading this like discredited ridiculousness and accusing the mayor of my town, John Huffman, of doing all of these egregious offenses, none of which were true.

And so then I got a hold of George Santos. And I'm like, well, who paid for this cameo? Because I would hope that they would have, you know. You know, would have at least disclosed that, you know, it's probably for a campaign, or were you just used as a stooge for it? I'm just curious.

Anyway, long story short, uh, After some back and forth barbs and all of this stuff, Sancho's came to dinner on Friday.

Now, I've never met him before, I had no idea, but I wanted him to meet. The guy that he was. that he did the video after, and he apologized to him. At the dinner, he was like, I didn't even know who I was making this for. It was anonymous.

I'm not on cameo, so I don't know how sometimes I'm like, is it really anonymous though? But he apologized, you know, profusely to Huffman and said that he was, you know, sorry that he just, you know, he just gets stuff all the time and he just reads whatever script is put in front of him. And he didn't know that it, you know, had caused such a problem because he, you know, was going after like the legitimate conservative candidate in the primary. And it was, you know, it was a, they basically made up. Long story short, they, although Huffman didn't really have a problem with him, they made up.

And Santos apologized. And, you know, and I told him, I'm like, you know, it's one thing to have an opinion in politics, but to get involved in an area that you've never even been to and that, you know, you don't even know the people involved. At some point, you can say to an extent that I was just reading a script. But then, you know, on the other end, you have to assume the consequence that goes along with just reading a script. And so, you know, he agreed.

On that. But so we parted in agreement. But he did apologize profusely and was very nice about it and realized the error of what he had done.

So that ended nicely because most stuff in primaries don't. Primaries can get super, which I've never understood because I'm like, are people not always on the same side? And I also too think that it should be the most conservative person who is electable who can win in that particular race. And I just think that people who've never worked in the private in the private sector and have had literally everything provided to them, including political action committees and everything else, I just don't think that those people are the best fit to represent hardworking American taxpayers who are working in the private sector and deserve to have someone with a work ethic that reflects theirs. And that's just, you know, this is kind of where I stand on it.

So for the people who are asking, you know, what happened, Lorraine's got a great piece where she wrote a little bit more about it over at Substacks. You should definitely check it out because it has some photos up there, up there as well of all of us together. Look at that. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Canada has halted their controversial assisted suicide program for mentally ill people due to lack of doctors willing to participate. They offer euthanasia to terminally and chronically ill people. They were going to extend the program to those with mental illnesses, but it's divided Canadians, according to the New York Times.

Some say it's due to a lack of adequate psychiatric care, etc. And it's just, there's a lot of, it's sad. It is sad. But the fact that there aren't enough doctors willing to participate, though, gives me a little bit of hope.

So that's just it's the whole thing is sad. Another dead whale on the beaches in Maryland.

So this is apparently, this has been happening like quite a bit. 37 humpback whales were discovered dead last year. It was the highest number ever recorded, according to federal data. They said that the definitive cause they weren't able to determine during the examination and they're looking for, they said they sent the samples that they shipped out for diagnostic analysis. And they discovered another humpback just a few days ago, or actually January 16th of last month.

Hmm. Beached in the exact same location. And NPS National Park Service says there was no obvious signs as to the cause of death.

Some people are wondering if windmills. The offshore windmills.

Some of them are wondering that. Do you think it could actually, that could actually be a thing? What, that kills the whales? Yeah. I think it's the actual, they had to do the survey of that seafloor.

And in order to do that, they have to use high-frequency sounds. And I think that there's a lot of that that has to do with what we're seeing with these whales washing up onshore. Golly, this is sad. San Mateo County becomes the first in the U.S. to declare loneliness as a health emergency.

It's because we're so tech where everybody's like so digital. They got to go out and touch grass every now and then. They had a unanimous vote in San Mateo County in California by their board of supervisors to become the first county to recognize loneliness as a public health emergency. And that was their supervisor says, quote, we have 45% of the people who find themselves lonely, suffer from loneliness.

So what are you going to do? If you say it's a health issue, what are you going to do? Like, what's your response to it? Stand next to them. Yeah, are you going to like going to go to people's houses?

Like, what? I don't, it's like I can't stand like these, you know, do nothing, do-gutter, you know, here's my virtue signal, and they shine at it like a spotlight into the sky, a la Batman. I just, I don't get the point. What was the point of it? For those people still buying Girl Scout cookies, I know there was the whole thing with Planned Parenthood and all of that some years ago.

I haven't had any since then. They apparently are going to be more expensive than they ever were before. Inflation hits everything.

So it's like what half a box of the lemonades cookies is like six dollars. I don't even know what those cookies are. Cause the only ones that mean anything are thin mints and everything else is trash. They're the one that has on one side like a lemony icing and it's a lemon cookie. And it's got that logo stamped on it.

Thin mints are the only ones that count. Yeah. By the way, you can get thin mint tasting chocolate-covered almonds at Costco in a giant plastic jug. I'm not telling you how I know this or how many of them I eat, which I'm not saying I do, but they taste just like it. And it's an almond, so I tell myself it's healthier and there's more protein involved.

Tastes just like a giant jug. Like you could fit your head in the jug. It's that big. I'm not going to tell you how many I go through, but they're really delicious, maybe. Let's see.

An Italian court ordered Getty Images to remove photos of Michelangelo's David. I, okay, I'm for this because Getty itself is so litigious. I am all for them putting a boot up Getty's butt. I'm all for it.

So they said that their Italian operation is facing a lawsuit before the tribunal of Florence regarding their content depicting Michelangelo's David. They said they temporarily removed it from their local Italian websites, but they're convinced of the legitimacy of the conduct and are unconvinced and they're going to contest it.

So they said that it's basically an infringement. You can't, you know, they have to, you have to have proper appropriation and it has to include the following words. And we're protecting, they said they're protecting the cultural and heritage memory. I'm all for whatever Florence wants to do because Getty will literally sue you if you so much as wink at one of their photos.

So, um, all right. Congressman Chip Roy up next. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, the Dana Show Podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're going to start to see the visualization.

or the failure of the policy. I said this over and over again. I said it last year. I said it from the beginning of this crisis. We're seeing the visual of what a failed national policy is producing.

And when I speak to my colleagues in other cities, they're saying the same thing. It's not unique to New York. We have to fix this with a national solution. Hmm. Hmm.

Coming up with stuff. He needs to kind of figure out a solution for Manhattan. I mean, they just announced this $53 million program where they're giving. Every 28 days they get refilled. Credit cards to incentives.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Incentives to people who entered the country illegally going up to Manhattan. That was Eric Adams up mayor up there. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lesh here with you.

We're at the bottom of this third hour joining us right now. I'm just warning you, he's mad. He's mad, I can tell immediately. Uh and if you haven't been following his Vicious takedown of this disastrous border bill on social media. I don't know what you're doing.

Congressman Chip Roy from the Great Republic of Texas joins us. He's in the swamp right now.

So this. You called it the War, Debt, and Open Borders Bill. It is not a border security bill, you said. The bill is not well intended. It's a bill designed by Democrats to boost Biden against Trump by helping Democrats blame Republicans for open borders.

Now, I've been reading this 300-some-odd-page bill. It is. It's worse than what we had. The two things that stick out to me: the stripping of AG power or reducing the effectiveness of attorneys general by taking everything to the DC Circuit is insane to me, giving them like sole authority to determine everything on detention, immigration. And then, so we're now deciding we're going to allow this many crimes to occur.

Before we decide to say, okay, that's the quota, no more crimes, we're going to stop it now, that's where we are, the 1.8 million.

Well, Dana, no, it's great. I'm actually in a great mood. I actually watched Chosen in the theater with my family last night. I had a good time with my family. I flew to D.C.

and I got to... I didn't mean to misrepresent you. I'm sorry, Congressman. No, no, no, no. I mean look, I actually enjoy this because actually right now my feeling is that Phil is dead.

And that's a good thing.

Now, we need to make sure that everybody understands that. We need to make sure that Senate Republicans should kill this on closure, they shouldn't even get it out of the Senate. That's our goal right now, but it's dead in the house. Steve Scalise said he won't give it four time. Mike Johnson has said it's dead on arrival.

But here's what's important. I'm trying to debate even how much airtime to give to this because let's be clear why Democrats want to do this. It's exactly what you just read from my tweet thread. They want to put something out there they claim is a compromise border security. And they want to say we killed it and therefore the border problem is on us.

They don't want to own that which they created, right? They're the ones that created this mess. Joe Biden comes in, he ends microprotection protocols, remain in Mexico, all sorts of like 50-something executive orders and actions. Mike Johnson did a great job cataloging those, put out a list. where they opened up our board.

And just I know you've got a really smart audience, but just so everybody understands what actually happened. happening right The law, the spirit, and the text of our existing law. says that you shall detain you shall maintain operational control of the border And then there are some exceptions and loopholes to that. Loopholes that were created by judges. Right, it's called the Florida Settlement, DBPRA, it's called with their little judge-made loopholes.

And then the exceptions in our law, Congress has passed, for Asylum and parole, which are meant to be case-by-case exceptions in the case of asylum for credible fear of persecution. And a parole for very specific cases where, oh, we need to bring you in because you're in some problem in China or whatever. But now they've taken that and used those exceptions and those loopholes to flood the zone and say, anybody can come here, say the magic words, and we'll release you. They've done it purposely. We str we set out to fix that executive.

in a branch of use with HR2. And frankly, the bill that I introduced, you'll remember HR 29, which was designed to say, you shall detain or you shall turn away. That was my bill, which I still think is the best approach, like four pages. We did HR2 and we embedded that concept into a broader package. Fixed asylum, fixed.

a parole, fixed a bunch of provisions, fund the wall, include The basic point that you shall detain, put a removal proceedings, or you're going to stay in Mexico. That was basically what we drafted. They're now coming in with Democrats to create cover this bill that will do the opposite. It does more than what you just said. It's even worse.

$1.4 billion for the NGOs that are tied to the United Nations, pumping people through Mexico to send people into the United States. $4 billion to hire asylum officers, end-run judges, process people, get them into the United States under 180-day clock so they're not detained too long. While they would then, if they're detained too long, they would put them in, they'd immediately release them under alternative detention. The point is, it's all a ruse. It would end up codifying legal illegal immigration, as Daniel Horowitz put it, right?

You're legalizing illegal immigration to the tune of 2 million people a year.

So that's too much, too much in the weeds. but you've got a smart audience, I want them to understand it. The bottom line is politically, it's dead. in my opinion we need to make sure bullet in it kill it And then we need to pivot. And I think we need to pivot to say we need to be back on offense, cramming H Sharp 2 back down the throats of the Senate.

That's my message to Mike Johnson. I like the four-page, talking to Congressman Chip Roy. I like the four-page. I mean, it's very simple: four pages. Everybody can read it, you know, with their coffee in the morning before they head out to work because this thing, 300-something pages dropped last night.

I mean, my gosh, I'm scrambling. I mean, we're scrambling before the show to get everything read.

So we know we were talking about on air today. And then they're making you all determine policy in that timeframe. Right. And the worst part is in the House, we get time to read it, kill it, figure out what we're going to do to the Senate. They got to vote on it, I think, by tomorrow.

So, you know, Mike Lee has been tweeting this out all last week, saying, guys, you guys have been doing this in secret. We're going to have to review this bill over the weekend now. The good news is it's so bad. That it's pretty easy for us to take shots at it. I mean, it's really hard to defend.

I mean, I'll listen to at some point somebody who's trying to defend it, I guess. But I don't really understand how you can defend what they're doing with respect to releasing people of the United States, the asylum officers I just described, the really good point you made where all these courts go into DC. Remember in H.R. 2, we also empowered AGs to sue in federal court. If we weren't doing the job, that would be in the Fifth Circuit in Texas.

That would be in the circuit courts, not in DC. Um, importantly, we fixed asylum, we fixed parole, all of those kinds of things. There's nothing in this bill that requires building the wall. Uh, I already talked about the NGOs, there's so much stuff we're trying to do. There's only like what is it, a fraction of this out of the 118 billion, it's only what 60 billion that goes to.

that goes to the to the border. Or no, $90 billion. $20 billion.

Sorry, $20 billion. $60 billion goes to Ukraine.

So, again, that's a really important part. This is a war bill. Ukraine, it's got money for Israel. Of course, we all support Israel, although we should come back to that in a minute. money in there for Taiwan and other stuff, and then 20 billion in there for border security, but it's not really for border security.

Not to really help build the wall and all that. It's to fund the processing of more illegal aliens who come here and claim asylum and don't have a legitimate claim. Also, we're funding lawyers. We're going to fund lawyers for children and other illegal aliens, not just children. And that's going to be a magnet.

And oh, by the way. unaccompanied alien children. They're left out of the detention requirements.

So, what does that mean? More of these bad actors will use children as their ticket to get in, like, not their real children, they'll grab a child. Come here, use them to get into the United States.

So, this is the problem we're having. And that's the exact problem that was under Obama-Biden. That's why they started the separation of families, that whole phrase at the border, but way before Trump, because of that with the Flora settlement. That was one of the things that I'd actually encouraged. To touch back on, and we'll switch to the Israel funding part of this.

The $20 billion, from what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong on this. I had read that the Marine Corps' entire fiscal year 2024 budget was $53 billion. That was the request, and it's $60 billion. That's earmarked for Ukraine, I know. Ukraine is going to get more money than the Marine Corps budget.

That is true. And look. You can have an honest debate, I suppose, on what we should or shouldn't do about Ukraine. I've got my problems with sending another dollar to Ukraine at all. But just if you're so if you think that's so important, let's just put a clean, straight up or down vote on the floor.

Let's have a full two weeks of debate. Let's debate the pros and cons. Let's let the hawks, the doves, the people who are kind of in the middle, have a big full debate, debate the funding, pay for that funding, and then debate it back and forth. But we don't do that. No, it's a swamp bill, all unpaid for, all jammed through, trying to leverage people's concern about the border to try to masquerade getting an actual war bill, a war machine bill, through the swamp.

One other important part, I think, that Merritt's conversation is. that every bit of this is borrowed, the full $118 billion. The 60 billion for Ukraine, the Taiwan, the border. It's $118 billion of additional money fully borrowed, not paid. Wow.

Talking with Congressman Chip Roy, I know that Speaker Johnson had said that he wants a stand alone bill regarding Israel aid. Tell me about this. Is it because I just don't see something like that going through even the Senate. I don't see Democrats joining onto that.

Well, I mean, I'm a little torn on that one. I think at the end of the day, the Senate probably would have to eat it and say that they're going to do it for Israel. It's a tough vote for them, but I'm not sure. And how much even? What amount even?

Republicans plus a few Democrats probably get it done. I don't support it. And that's hard for me, right? And I'm sure you're in the same boat in terms of your support of Israel. I love Israel.

I love going to Israel. I love the people of Israel. I want them to wipe Hamas off the face of the planet. I want them to defend themselves. And I want to continue to stand by Israel.

I support the money that's in our normal defense budget, which is about $4 billion. to work with them on Iron Dome and to make sure we stand alongside them. But for me to go to my constituents in Texas. And tell them that I'm gonna go pay for, I'm not gonna pay for $17.6 billion. We're gonna borrow money.

Give it to Israel, and we're not going to secure the border of the United States.

So, unpaid for, racking up debt, and no security for our border. I can't look my constituents in the eyes and say, I'm going to go give money to our friend, even our best friend, right? My best friend over here. He's got a tough time going on. And over here, my family's getting absolutely mauled.

because my border's open and we're spending money we don't have. It says, I said in my tweet about Israel. There's not going to be a United States of America to stand with Israel if we keep spending money we don't have, and if we're not a sovereign nation with a secure border. That's just the truth. I think that's the best explanation I've heard of it.

Is your position on it right there?

Well, and that is it because I love Israel. And I know, and I look, I reached out to a lot of my Jewish friends and constituents. I said, Look, I hate this, right? I want to be right there side by side with Israel. God bless me.

Like I said, I hope that's not the same thing. But we can't afford it because we don't have the money. Like you said, it's not paid for. We are borrowing from our future, and it's not even to secure. Our own domestic situation here, our southern border.

Right. It would be one thing if we look, we're not going to solve the $2 trillion deficit in one fell swoop. I get that. It'd be one thing if, like, right now, if we were going to pass a continuing resolution for the rest of this year that The cap spending at 1564, which is basically where it would be, which would save us about $100 billion. That would be responsible-ish.

If we were doing something to secure our border. If we were taking steps that we need to do here at the home front on, say, energy policy, those kinds of things. And I'm seeing that happen. And then I was like, okay, Chip, can we eat 17 billion? Unpaid for for Israel?

Or can we go take some other funds, some COVID slush fund money or something, and pay for Israel? I'd say, you bet. I want to be there with Israel. That's a good use of money to fight our enemies, to fight Hamas, to fight Hezbollah, to push back on Iran. That's in our interest, it's in their interest, in the world's interest, it's in the interest of Western civilization.

But right now, look, we're just getting sucker punched left and right. And I'm telling you, this country is hanging on by a very thin thread. In fact, America in about five years, if we keep on this current trajectory. I don't know that we would have the votes to withstand giving the Palestinians a two-state solution and walking away from Israel.

So we better get our home front secure first. And that's a very important point, I think, that you just made here talking with Congressman Chip Roy. We're out of time right now, but I'd love to have you back always. Whenever you got any, I mean, I like the way that you explain that because. Without the nuance and without actually discussing that, like for instance, the issue with Israel, there's a lot of false characterizations that are put out there.

And it's just, it's silly. It's silly when you can, you know, just hear 60 seconds of him explaining it like he just did. Congressman Chiproy, we appreciate you. Thank you for your fight. God bless him.

Take care. Of course. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.

Well, here's the problem, David. The president can't do this by himself. The president doesn't have. the legal authority without additional legislation to control the border and fix the broken asylum system in the way that needs to be done. But but he had the authority to open the border and like compound the broken asylum system by ordering immigration judges to do busy work of processing people with barely a review and then handing them a date for uh some sort of Maybe hearing six years later after they've illegally crossed into the country, don't sit here and tell me that he can't do something after he already did something to make it worse.

Then he can undo the things that he did to make it worse. That's Chris Murphy trying to mansplain to everybody. That. That doesn't fly. It doesn't fly at all.

I mean, these are all things that he did. He could stop. The federal government's blocking of Texas law enforcement and dealing with apprehension and detainment of people that are crossing in illegally. They could stop, you know, I mean, he was the one, it was Biden that gave the order. to go and cut the razor wire.

That razor wire I read identifies as a just a An aggressive slinky. I'm going to start using that phrase for now. And it's not razor wire, this is just. Uh, slinky with attitude. That's all it is.

It's right there. But he that he was the one who ordered the feds to go and cut that razor wire.

So if he doesn't have any control of the border, then I would wonder why how did that happen? Maybe Chris Murphy could mansplain that one too. I mean, considering he's not receiving any pushback from the stooge that's interviewing him. I'm like, well, how are you not pushing back on this stuff? How are you not interrupting and saying, I'm sorry, excuse me, what?

Like, what do you mean? But he did all of these things that made it worse. These are steps that he took. actions he undertook. and made it worse.

Doesn't make any sense. All right, today in stupidity cane. Oh boy, there is a lot, but I think we're gonna have to lean on our vice president, Kamala Harris, on this one. She's got all the solutions for the border crisis. Listen to this.

And Juan, this is cut three. Here's the thing on this issue. We all know that our Our immigration system is broken. It has been for a long time. The gas lighter.

On day one, right after our inauguration, when President Biden and I came in, the first bill we offered was to clean up the immigration system and create a pathway for citizenship. They've not taken it up because, sadly, there are a lot of members of the Republican Party who elected members of the Republican Party who would prefer to run on the problem instead of fixing the problem. We're offering solutions. Democrats caused this problem to be as bad as it is. It has never been as bad as it is right this very second.

It's because of what Biden did when he first got into office. The gaslighting here is unbelievable. And if you believe it, you're stupid. Oh, there you go. Wow, Kane.
