We do. We are joined by my good friend, Mr. Dan Holloway, show regular now, I guess.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

It's number four, isn't it?

[Dan Holloway]

Is it three or four?

[DJ Cruise]

I don't like counting. Yeah. To be honest, I mean, who's counting? In principle, I'm against it. What if I. What's. What's the fee if I forget something?

[Dan Holloway]

Kicking the balls. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, who gets kicked in whose balls?

[Dan Holloway]

You have to take a kick in the ball.

[DJ Cruise]

No, I'm not doing that.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, you have to take one. That's what we do here, bro.

[Andy Vercella]

Kicking the ball is pretty bad.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it's not great. So one of our. Of our mutual fans was talking on Twitter the other day about who would win in a fight between you and me.

[Dan Holloway]

Between you and me?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. And I was like, I just start tickling him and then I would win.

[Dan Holloway]

You probably would win with that.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You can't.

[Andy Vercella]

Are you ticklish?

[Dan Holloway]

Are you not ticklish? I'm not ticklish.

[DJ Cruise]

I'm not. I'm not. Yeah. So that's why, you know, I'm not either. Survey says that was a lie.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, man. D, what's been going on with you, brother?

[DJ Cruise]

You know, just living the dream.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Enjoying Texas?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, we were talking about before. I. Yeah. Because I was with Andy. We went down to Austin. We weren't like, right past the place.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, you can't miss it.

[Andy Vercella]

But we didn't know if it was, like, if that was it, though.

[Dan Holloway]

I thought. I didn't know if that was a spot or if it. Because I. For some reason, I thought you Guys were all in San Antonio, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, no, no. Jared and those guys are down there. Yeah. And. And Black Rifles HQ. One of their HQs is down there. But. Yeah, we're up in. Though, kind of. It's. It's barely in Austin. It's, like, on the outskirts. Yeah, yeah. It's like on the. Maybe three or four miles away from the count or the city line. Yeah, something like that.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. It's nice out there, though.

[DJ Cruise]

It is nice. Yeah. We still get hit with their property taxes.

[Dan Holloway]

Really?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. We paid 30 grand in property taxes there.

[Dan Holloway]

No way.

[Andy Vercella]

A year. Holy.

[Dan Holloway]

What was that barbecue place we went to out there?

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, Terry Blacks, maybe? No, where was it?

[Andy Vercella]

It was out there. I mean, I would say it was in between where your spot was and Jesse James. What's it called?

[DJ Cruise]

Interstellar, maybe?

[Andy Vercella]

No, they got two. There's, like, two main locations. They have one there, and then I think they said there was one downtown Austin. Spanx. Not Spanx. What am I saying?

[DJ Cruise]

Lauro. No, they have one up north. It's a good question. I don't know this. It's Austin.

[Andy Vercella]

I forget the name of it. It was delicious.

[DJ Cruise]

Wait, is it Switch? Switch. Switches?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, switches.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

The other one I mentioned, Interstellar, is a little bit farther north. Further, farther, farther, farther north. And it's. They have a Michelin star for barbecue, so next time you're in town, go there.

[Dan Holloway]

Dang.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Michelin star.

[DJ Cruise]

It's not easy to get a Michelin Star for barbecue.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Jesus.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, I like that switch place, bro. I'm definitely going back there.

[Andy Vercella]

That was good.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it's hot. I mean, you. You can't get away with bad barbecue in Texas.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Somebody will show up to your house, beat your.

[Dan Holloway]

The kick in the balls. Yeah, that's what happened.

[Andy Vercella]

I like it, man. All right.

[Dan Holloway]

What's been going on, man?

[DJ Cruise]

Um. You know, I hate the government mostly. I start from there and work my way out.

[Dan Holloway]

You know what? This is why we have so much in common.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I have a. So I. I should get a second sign. I have a sign in front of my. It's on my dresser in front of where I sleep, and it says, it's not about you. That's my life motto. Life's not about you. Right. It's about what you. What value you bring. And it's a good reminder when I wake up and I feel like I don't want to get out. Get out of bed or whatever, I'm like, no, you. Yeah, it's not your turn, but it'll be your turn. It'll be my turn when I'm old.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Then I can lounge around and, and look on all the good stuff I've done and whatever the. But another one I should get made. Another sign I should get made is something about the government sucking or something. The government or something. I don't know. Because, you know, no matter what it is, no matter what system of government happens, it always invariably turns into an engine to extract labor and wealth from the population. That's all it ever is, right?

[Dan Holloway]

Dude, I, I was just talking to one of my friends last night and I don't want this to be taken the wrong way because I do love this country. But the more I dig into it and the more I realize what has actually occurred here and how far away we are from what this country was supposedly founded on, the more disenfranchised I get with this country. Because the truth of the matter is, and by the way, I'm a patriot, dude. I believe in the ideals of this country. I believe in what it could be. I believe in the people here and I believe we have a duty and an obligation to make it better. But there's a lot of time that I've spent which I've never really felt this way before in my life. But I'm starting to become disenfranchised with the idea of, of America because I can recognize now at this age that we have been completely lied to about what the country is actually about. You know, we've been sold this bill of goods that it's about the flag and it's about your fellow citizen and it's about, you know, all these things that we, we agree with like that are the good, they sound great, what.

[Andy Vercella]

It'S supposed to be.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, but these, the, I, the, the reality of what we are, man, in my opinion is we, they, they feed us that so that we'll grow up with American pride and want to defend the country and become soldiers or become, you know, the badass people that go out and, and basically enforce the will of, of, you know, countries like Israel who, you know, can't really defend themselves or other situations. And it's kind of like, you know, we've been sold this identity that isn't true and we'd be given enough just to make it think it might be true in order for us to grow up and enforce the policies of other countries. That just doesn't sit well with me, man.

[DJ Cruise]

No, I mean it's a top down approach. When we were supposed to be, I Mean the letter of the law, the Constitution is quite clear that it's supposed to be a bottom up organization. And you know, there's a. I don't remember who originally said it could have been Ron Paul or Murray Rothbard or something like that, but it's when the state is large, the individual is small. And the point of America is that individual liberty and personal entrepreneurship are the ultimate inoculation to tyrannical bullshit. Right. Decentralized authority. Decentralized economic authority especially keeps the government from amassing too much power. We talked about this before the show. But 25% of all new jobs the last two years have been government jobs. And the government doesn't make anything. They don't make money. Right. So we're, we're basically. I'm sure you've seen companies like this before that poor. Well, the American university system is the best place to look. So the average, this data is from like 2018. So I'm not sure how current it is still, but it's probably way worse than this now actually because of dei. But the average professor's salary relative to inflation has gone up about 27% over the past 40 years. And the administrative fees associated with an education have gone up 2,000%. Right. And that's bureaucracy. It happens in business and it happens in government. It doesn't matter. And it fails no matter where it happens. Always it has to fail because the bulk of your enterprise should be producing something of value. And if it isn't, then you're gonna fail. Yeah, the end. I mean, it's really. This is not cop. This is like Keynesian versus Australia, Austrian economics or anything like that. It's not like two different houses of economic theory talking to each other. This is just a fact that everybody knows is true.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, dude, I think, you know, the bureaucracy in business is typically born of the unwillingness to do what you are assigned to do. I've noticed this before, especially in companies that I've consulted for, you know, they hire and hire and hire and usually what ends the reason they're hiring is because the person who's supposed to do the job doesn't want to do it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

So they're like, well, we need to hire one more and then we need to hire one more and then we need to hire one more and everybody kicks the can. And then when, when, you know, the butcher comes in and starts making cuts, they all surprised. Why? They all get.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, in government we called it the wobbly wheel theory. So Congress passes some appropriations bill it gets sent over to opm. You have to do this job. You have two years to do it. And opm, Office of Personnel Management, who does the hiring and firing for the government, says, okay, well, based on our research, we need two people to do that job. It's like, all right, cool. You hire two people, one of them sucks. So instead of firing that person, which becomes notoriously difficult after their two year probationary period, which is why Trump is dumping all these probationary period people, then they just hire two more people to do the job. Right. You've got four people doing the job of two people. That's government in a nutshell. That's how it works. And it's fucking stupid.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. And then it spreads and it's like, it just keeps going and going and going, going, and when it starts to spread, it's an exponential spread.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, it's. Accountability is what really matters.

[Dan Holloway]

Right?

[DJ Cruise]

And when I say accountability, I mean down to the individual level. Fucking Andy, you. Here, here are things that you need to get done and you're responsible for them. If you need help, ask for help, but you're responsible for getting this across the finish line. Do whatever you got to do to make that happen. So I can come back to you as one man and say, hey, did you get it done? And the answer is either yes or no.

[Dan Holloway]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

And if you diffuse responsibility, then nobody's ever responsible for shit.

[Andy Vercella]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

That's. And that is a complete disaster. No matter what it is. If it's, if it's like a military operation or a business or the government running itself. Yeah. No matter where you see that it's nonsense. It should never be accountable.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. It should never be tolerated in a company.

[DJ Cruise]

No. I mean, that's like. Especially. This is the problem with most startups, they get money from somewhere and instead of learning lessons, they buy their way out of stupid situations and they end up four or five, six years down the road and they're looking at an exit sale. Yeah, right. Because you're making good revenue. And I look at your net revenue, I'm like, what is all this bullshit? Yeah, right. You're getting. You're. Now you're going to get a multiplier on net revenue instead of a multiplier on ebitda because your company is not growing the way it's supposed to get a lot of fat.

[Dan Holloway]

And by the way, you're $300 million in debt.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, well, it's because they didn't earn it, though. It's the same thing with the government. They didn't earn the money. You know what I'm saying? Like a good business entrepreneur that started from the bottom, you've earned it. You have a different look at the money you have versus when you just get the money. Who cares where we spend it? Who cares how much?

[Dan Holloway]

Well, this is ultimately a culture problem, if we're being honest. This isn't a problem with organizations, in my opinion. This is a culture that has been enabled and bred into our society and become acceptable. I mean, dude, if you walked around as a man 30 years ago and, and basically, you know, pretended you're one of these people that pretended to work but didn't work, you know, you're hiding, you're doing the least amount possible. And then, you know, you know everybody else is doing it. Bro, the dudes would pull you out back and kick your ass.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Like they would kick your ass. They'd be like, bro, you're not doing this. You need to get the out. Or they, they harass them or bully him or beat them until they start doing their part.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. Or they quit, dude. Right.

[DJ Cruise]

We call that self selection.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. There's got to be a direct line between effort and outcome that's baked into the human being's brain. Right. And that, that's a survival instinct for us.

[Dan Holloway]

But you get what I'm saying though, bro. I mean, it's been. Think of how many people. Think of how many people go to their job on a daily, like real talk, everybody listening. How many do you know that go to wherever it is that you work that do the least amount possible and then hide in the corner when nothing's really going on or they're around on their phone or they're, they're playing video games or you know, they're running the little sneak plays and the, and the, you know, get around the workplace and then those same people are the biggest ones that cry and about whenever they get passed over for an opportunity or they don't get paid the what they say they're worth, bro, you're getting paid exactly what the you're worth. And to be honest, you know, if I was an employee at a place and I had people doing that around me, I would straight up handle it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Like I, they would either start working at like a peer to peer handling. Like, hey, you're either going to do the job because I'm not going to look bad because of you.

[Andy Vercella]

Right.

[Dan Holloway]

You know, or I'm going to go to the supervisor and be like, dude, this is exactly what the fuck this guy does. All day. Let's give him the. Out of here.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's you. We've dissociated ourselves from this. The. It's. And it's. Again, this is basic instinct for human beings. You don't work, you don't eat. That's how it works. Right. For us. And then we told people, it's okay if you don't work, you can still eat. And that's where society began to crumble a thousand percent. Right?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You know, and there's always ways to get it back. Usually, unfortunately for us, we have to learn that lesson the hard way. Shit's got to go completely wrong and then the chaff gets blown away with the wind.

[Dan Holloway]

That's the way it works, dude. A thousand percent, man. We don't. We have people in this country, I think we talked about this recently, that have never faced hardship, ever. They can't even comprehend it. Like, there are people, and it's usually the same demographic of people that advocate for this. It's upper middle class white women that advocate for this. And they advocate because they have never felt hardship, they have never had to struggle, they've never dealt with crime, They've never had any of these situations of potentially starving. For real.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And so they have this guilty feeling and this need to signal and virtue signal that they're a really good person. And we care about these people not understanding that. Like, dude, these people that you're advocating for in a lot of cases are abusing our system that allows them to live off the money that other taxpayers pay, you know, indefinitely. And we could fix this. Real talk, by limiting the amount of fucking financial aid that people get on Welfare and Section 8 and making a time frame on it or making stipulate like, dude, you. You have a certain. I'm just throwing this out, but you have a certain amount of time that you can collect that over the course of your life, or you have to do these things while you get it. It's not just, oh, I get, have another kid and I get more money.

[Andy Vercella]

Like it's unseen, unchecked. Yeah, for sure.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

There's. There's three elements to it, right? So the first one is what you said. And it's. This is. There's kind of a duality this. It's that they've never felt any kind of external oppression. Right. So they have oppression FOMO now, because oppression is the currency, the social currency of today used to be honor, courage. Right. Being a good man.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Now it's victimhood.

[DJ Cruise]

Now it's victimhood, right? So when you, when you take that into account, these people have oppression, fomo, this person who wants to feel socially accepted or honored or whatever the fuck you want to call it now is completely excluded from that because they're white. So that's why you see at these antifa rallies, the people that aren't funded by Soros or Russia directly, right? They're the only reason those people are there. And then including some of those people who are taking money from them are just there because their butt hurt for no reason, right? So that's one element. The second element is when it finally comes and hits them in the face, it's nimby. Not in my backyard, right? When illegal immigrants start showing up to. To Cape Cod and like that, Martha, it's like, ah, not here, buddy. Yeah, not here. We got to get these guys, Got.

[Andy Vercella]

To get these guys out of here.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, they can come here.

[DJ Cruise]

They had them.

[Dan Holloway]

They can't come here.

[DJ Cruise]

They like. They had hundreds of legals gone in 10 hours from there, right? See their faces where they were so funny.

[Dan Holloway]

It was the best.

[DJ Cruise]

It was so funny. It was so funny, man. Oh, my God. I. I got quite a bit of joy out of that. And then the other part is something you also alluded to. And this is the. And I think it. I think it does have something to do with this disconnect between effort and outcome that people have. It is we. We go through this whole cycle. I think Huberman's actually talked about this from a physiological standpoint. But people go through this cycle where there's a thing that needs to get done in society, and we have been programmed by hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of years of evolution to address that issue. You see somebody that's suffering and it makes you feel some kind of way and you want to stop that from happening, Right? That's a good person feels that way.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

So you go over there and stop it. That's how you do that. And then you get rewarded. You get oxytocin, you get serotonin, you get dopamine. Immediately, you get serotonin. Over time, you get oxytocin because you start to develop a connection with that person, right? This new world we're in where we're completely dissociated from the. That effort and outcome trajectory. Now people will say thoughts and prayers or they'll put a flag in their bio or he him in their bio and say, I've done. I did it. I did the thing. So not only have they done nothing but they're perpetuating stupidity. And then they haven't actually helped anybody, but they're still. They feel good and take credit for it. It's the most narcissistic of all time. And these are the people who think. Regular people don't even consider this. But these are the people who think they're better than everybody else, who have literally done nothing functional for anybody in their entire goddamn lives.

[Dan Holloway]

Thousand percent, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

It's insane. I mean, just when you think about it that way and break it down from point A to point B, it's like you're a piece of shit.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, bro, you're like one of the.

[DJ Cruise]

Biggest drags on stuff. Forget about the people. Even on welfare, you're worse.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Because you're capable.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, what the fuck?

[Dan Holloway]

Well, bro, it's a. It's a problem. And I do see culture shifting back towards normalcy and starting.

[DJ Cruise]

You know, people, young kids are tired of this, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

And everybody's tired. Everybody's tired of the virtue signaling and the fake outrage and the cancel culture and can't say this, can't say that. You're a this, you're a that. Let's take their business down. Let's like, bro, no one gives a. No one cares. And that's, you know, that's what happens when you jam into. Into society for so long. And there is some unfortunate side effects of that. Like when things actually happen with some of these protected classes, quote unquote, no one's going to care anymore. But, you know, these people did it to themselves by overusing it.

[Andy Vercella]

Boy, you cried.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, that's right. You call someone a racist enough, eventually they're like, fuck it, I don't fucking. Call me whatever the fuck you want.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, the interesting thing now is that one. It was never black people doing that.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

It was like a couple of black people who grifted. Right. But mostly it was white women.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And I call them brunchers.

[Andy Vercella]

Y'all people.

[DJ Cruise]

Now, now, now all these, like, black dudes and. And not Tyrese, obviously. He's still butthurt. Again.

[Dan Holloway]

What's up with him?

[DJ Cruise]

I have no idea. Tyrese, He's. He's a fucking retard. But, dude, he.

[Dan Holloway]

Listen, we follow each other on Instagram.

[DJ Cruise]

He did a whole nine minute thing.

[Dan Holloway]

I've talked to him.

[DJ Cruise]

If you voted for Trump, man, what the fuck, man? If you're a veteran that voted for Trump. You know what? I think I'm rich. Shut the fuck up, dude.

[Dan Holloway]

I don't get it. Because He. He's. He. I don't know, man. It's weird. Like, you know, I mean, what list you on, bro?

[Andy Vercella]

You know what I'm saying? Like, he's got. He might have some stocks and some baby.

[DJ Cruise]

It makes you suspicious. But a lot of other dudes. I mean, you're seeing all these. Like, Yachty was on somebody's cooking show the other day asking about blm. He's like, nah, that's a bunch of bullshit.

[Dan Holloway]

That was.

[DJ Cruise]

They were buying real estate. They weren't helping black people.

[Dan Holloway]

That was awesome.

[DJ Cruise]

But that's the average. That's the average black person in America right now. Because I know that you white liberal ladies haven't ever met one, but I grew up in a black neighborhood. I know these people, right? Like, I talk to that. I have actual conversations. I'm not concerned that they're gonna rob me.

[Dan Holloway]

Women that. That, like, when they see a black person coming, they're like, cross the street.

[Andy Vercella]

Just like, get on the ground. Oh, I'm not worthy.

[DJ Cruise]

It's like, have you ever even met a black person before, you dummy?

[Dan Holloway]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

No, they haven't.

[Andy Vercella]

No.

[Dan Holloway]

I saw that.

[Andy Vercella]

The police on us for barbecue.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Parts.

[DJ Cruise]

You're barbecuing at the park. Like, hey, there's some. Some black people here. Is that okay? Is that okay? Like, yeah, man. It 25.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, I saw that. That podcast, dude, that with Yachty, and it was like, a black girl, right? Yeah. And she was like, I'm the biggest pro black. And he's like, no, you're not. Like. And he starts going in. He's like, they were buying mansions. They were doing this, they were doing that. You ain't. For black people. Like, it was. It was really good.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, the best economy. This is. Maybe it's reductive, I don't know. But I think providing the best possible economy for somebody gives them the best opportunity to liberate themselves from any oppression, whether it's the government or hate groups or whatever the fuck.

[Dan Holloway]

Totally agree.

[DJ Cruise]

I think that's the best way to do it. And there's never been a better economy for black people than under Trump in his last term ever. In the history of this country. It's not even close.

[Andy Vercella]

Statistically, it's a fact. It's.

[DJ Cruise]

It's. That's just a fact. So, like, what. What helps somebody more? Your little speech that you give or your bumper sticker or the food that gets put on their table, bro, which one is it?

[Dan Holloway]

You get criticized for that as as entrepreneurs.

[DJ Cruise]

Like.

[Dan Holloway]

Like, people will say, like, you know, well, you know, I'm not into the. The material things because they're. They're this and that and this. I go feed the homeless. Well, I've built schools. I've built homes. I've built places where people get served food.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

What's more valuable? How many more. How many people did I help versus you? Help?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And I just. The. The. The moral judgment in society is out of control.

[DJ Cruise]

You got to do something. You can't just say stuff. You know what I mean?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Like, so leaving a smart, snarky, liberal comment on somebody's post is not being an activist.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Western North Carolina got up with all those hurricanes.

[Andy Vercella]

Everybody got up. I actually have that real quick, too, because, I mean, it hit close to home.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, what I was gonna say is my people were down in North Carolina rebuilding this general store. Right. They were rather from Save Our Allies. Right. And somehow, I don't know how the. You even got hooked up with them in the first place, but you had given them some money.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

To help rebuild the store, because that store serves the entire community. It's the only store anywhere near that place. Right.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, when. When the.

[DJ Cruise]

Built a new road, we tore it down, rebuilt it. Right. But just. But they served that entire area, and all those people were, like, the only place they could get to was there because all the roads were up. So we're in the middle of this somehow. I don't even know how you got involved in the first place, but somebody told me, like, oh, yeah, we got some money from some. Some guy from First Form. What do you mean, some guy from First Point? Like, you had given him money to help start rebuilding. And I hit you up and said, hey, thanks. I didn't know if you do.

[Dan Holloway]

I didn't know that was yours either.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Actually, what. What happened was somebody was me on the Internet over some controversial things that may have happened in the past. And they were like, if you were real, if you were. If you really gave a. You would be doing this. And I'm like, well, tell me about it. What are they doing? Tell me some more. And I started looking into it. I'm like, oh, this is a great cause, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And so I contacted them. You know, I gave him a little bit of money and. And, you know, to try to get that general store back online so that people could get, you know, the things they need because they were shut off from everywhere else.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, food.

[Dan Holloway]

It was your guys, right? Like your friends?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it was my Friends. And I was like, I texted him to say thanks, and he paid for all the rest of it. Right? That's doing something.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Like either go there and get your hands in the mud, or if you can pay, pay. Do whatever you can, but shut. Just shut the up.

[Andy Vercella]

That's it.

[DJ Cruise]

You can earn your right to say whatever you want.

[Dan Holloway]

Those same would be like that Judge you on that will be like, well, that's easy for you to just pay. What the do you want me to do, bro? Do you want me to reverse the hurricane?

[DJ Cruise]

I'm.

[Dan Holloway]

I can't do that.

[Andy Vercella]

$8 billion.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, Trump did say we might want to shoot some nukes into those hurricanes. That was. That was Trump 1, though. I don't know if he's changed his opinion on now. Probably not a good idea to send radioactive waste all over the place, have.

[Dan Holloway]

It spread all over my head.

[DJ Cruise]

We'll see how it goes. I guess we'll try it out one time. Try Haiti.

[Andy Vercella]

But to that point, man, I think this is something that, I mean, in good news, right, like, you know, you talked about just like it's kind of in us, right? And I think, especially as Americans, it may be unique to us, but we want to help our feather, our fellow citizens.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, let's put. That's. So this is a really good point.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Because the equate, there's an algebraic equation on how functional society works. And on one side of it is liberty, on the other side of it is effort. Right. And if you want decentralization, it requires your daily attention, your personal daily attention.

[Andy Vercella]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

Our collective attention. Sure. But it always starts with you. If you want to live in a world that the government doesn't have control over your life, you better goddamn walk down the street and ask your neighbor how he's doing. Because if you don't, the government will and they're going to put him on welfare for the rest of his fucking life, and it's going to come out of your pocket forever. And if he goes on one more generation, now you're on generational welfare, and that lasts six, eight generations.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Right. So one of the things I tell people a lot is if the government shows up and nobody's got their hand out, they have no power there. And that is how voting, voting, like, do it. Obviously, you got to vote and participate in your country, but you're not going to vote your way out of any of this.

[Dan Holloway]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

Effort is the only way you get out of this, bro. It's the only way.

[Dan Holloway]

It's. It. It Literally is what you and I always talk about. We say it in different ways, but you know, it's personal excellence being the ultimate rebellion. It's just, dude, it's not needing them for anything. It's not listening to anything they say. It's examining the narratives they push out, educating yourself to what the truth is and really honestly kind of understanding that they don't have our best interests in mind. Their interests are to get us hooked into a system that we can never escape.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And they've hooked enough people into it now where there's a real problem that has to be solved culturally. And you know, the way you solve it culturally is, you know what it is? Honestly, it's shaming.

[DJ Cruise]

Shaming and letting them fail. Right? Yeah, I mean like you got to take the, the training wheels off the bike at some point.

[Dan Holloway]

Like if you're a loser, I'm going to call you a fucking loser, bro. Like, I'm sorry that hurts your feelings. But look at you.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

You know, and what do you think you're better than those people? Yes, absolutely. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, I do more.

[Dan Holloway]

I fucking work harder. I fucking do everything I can. I take care of myself. These people do none of that. And then they want to be considered equal. That's not how the fucking world works, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Now you can control two things in life. Your effort and your attitude. And that's it. Right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And those things belong to you. Nobody can take that from you. Only you can give it away. Right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And we've seen an example just this past week actually of how effective this could be. So egg prices, right, they went up because 250,000 egg laying hens were.

[Dan Holloway]

Million.

[DJ Cruise]

Million. A million were just killed because there might be a fucking bird flu.

[Dan Holloway]

Nah, bro, that was to intentionally create the perception of prices going up. Under Trump, of course.

[DJ Cruise]

Sure. So what happened? We've seen the largest run of purchases on egg laying hens for to private people in the history of this country. And now a week after everybody was just talking about how eggs are still expensive. 47 drop in egg prices in one week. Right? That's how quickly it can happen. If you just pull off the government tit, they're not good at anything. What the fuck is the government ever been good at?

[Dan Holloway]

First of all, bro, hold on.

[Andy Vercella]

Stealing?

[Dan Holloway]

None of these people. Look, dude, I'm not going to say none. There's a few, but they are the very small minority of people in government you're talking about. Thomas Massey, have actually produced some success outside of government for themselves. Yeah, okay. Very few. How. The government wasn't designed to be run by people like that. It was designed to be run by the entrepreneurs, by the elders, by the experienced. How much fucking experience can you have running a government if you never ran a business? If you've been in the government is parallel to a business.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, I mean, the different. Here's the difference. If you. If you only have ever worked in government, then you've only ever worked without a budget, right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And that is not how the fucking world works, dude, man, if you've worked in a business, especially if you created your own business, you know exactly what a ledger looks like. You know exactly what the credit and debit section and the assets and liability section looks like. You know what a cap table looks like. And you know, over the course of this many years, I got this much money to spend, and I have these goals to hit. And if I don't, I'm fucked.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, bro, this is why I always tell my entrepreneur guys, I'm like, guys, you guys who are running 10, 20, $30 million businesses, you're much better operator than an opera, than a CEO of a $15 billion company because they have unlimited budget to make decisions. If I had unlimited budget to just say, go hire that guy. Go do that. The. It would be easy, right? But we don't. And so when you're a small operator, not, you know, 30 million is not small, but you get what I'm saying? Compared to 30 billion, it's small, you're actually a better operator, most likely than the person who's running a company that's, you know, billions of dollars in revenue. Because, dude, you don't have unlimited budget. You have to be creative and you have to think of solutions and you have to be resourceful. And, you know, those are the people. Those people, not the big, you know, multi billionaires, the middle guys or the guys the government's supposed to be run by.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

You know, so.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, man.

[Dan Holloway]

You want to talk about the twisters, bro?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, dude, this past weekend was wild. I heard.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Ryan was telling me you guys had some.

[Dan Holloway]

We got hit pretty good here, right?

[Andy Vercella]

As of right now, there's 42 confirmed deaths across about five states. There was a total of 56 confirmed tornadoes, bro. In the span of, like, we're talking.

[Dan Holloway]

Like, bro, we had. We had one pass on each side of the house.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

At my place.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, we got lucky. Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and North Carolina all reported deaths from tornadoes or severe storms. I mean, do the. The pitches and are. They're Insane. I mean, it's just anywhere you went, it was just mass destruction. I know here, locally, I know Union felt some. Some heat.

[Dan Holloway]

Arnold got hit.

[Andy Vercella]

Arnold got hit. Villa Ridge.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. And that's what I'm talking about. That's on both sides. One's north, one south of us. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

So, I mean, you know, dude, even where we are.

[Dan Holloway]

You were at my house. It was crazy, dude. Wild. We lost like four or five pretty decent trees.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah, it was wild. But I mean, the good thing, you know, like I said, coming off that conversation, Dan, it's like, you know, the beautiful thing is, like, I. Culturally, I think Americans are getting back to that. That. That mentality of it's. It's up to us.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't know if America ever lost that. I think that a lot of people have. Right. But America's been the most generous. Like, the American citizen is more generous than the vast majority of countries. You know what I mean? Which.

[Andy Vercella]

It's unique to us, for sure.

[DJ Cruise]

It is. It's extremely unique. So I remember as far back as, like the tsunami in Indonesia. Remember that, you know, the number one non state contributor was to that. Not NGOs, not an NGO, not any of that. It was the United States citizenry.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Spent more money helping to fix that situation than anybody other than the US Government did. Right. Just in donations. Which tells you something very clear. One, that this country is worth fighting for. The people are not the government, but the people certainly are. And the second thing it teaches you that you don't need to tax people for this. We will figure out a way to help these people.

[Dan Holloway]

That's right.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't need the government as a middleman. Take tacking on 40% to all the charges. Fuck you. Like, you're taking money out of my pocket under the guise of some kind of like, social empathy or something like that. And what, you just gave yourself 40% of it and that's the tax to be a good person? I don't think so. Budget. I don't think so. If you get between me and somebody I'm trying to help, I'm gonna run you over.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Oh, and they're doing that. They're doing that justify the need for their NGOs.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it's.

[Dan Holloway]

Dude, I just had what I heard from your. Your friends. And. And I had a couple friends out there too, in Asheville area. Like, it was unbelievable. The I was hearing, dude. Like, unbelievable.

[DJ Cruise]

A lot of it is incompetence. Yeah, right. But mo, like incompetence and lack of Leadership. Right. So this is. Anybody that's ever worked in emergency management and you would like to think that people at FEMA have at least some experience, right? Yeah, you would think, would know a couple things. One, disaster happens, you're on the clock, people are without power. Within a couple of weeks, people start to die from sanitation related issues. Right. You're also on the clock with regard to infrastructure. So one of the first things that you have to address is ingress and egress, like how to get in and out of places. Roads get fucked up, bridges go down, blah blah, blah. Army Corps engineers weren't there until fucking weeks, weeks later. They should be the first person on the ground.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

In some of these instances, especially there, in a place that isn't used to having these kind of things. Tornado Alley is what it is, right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Right. You know, trailers get knocked.

[Andy Vercella]

We were outside.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I mean, it is.

[Dan Holloway]

We had one of my buddies here from Florida, he's from South Florida and before that he's from Canada. And he was like, what the fuck's going on? I'm like, bro, this is tornado. He's like, well, what should we do? I'm like, let's go outside.

[DJ Cruise]

And just. And then, then it's. The other part is the complete lack of leadership. Nobody's got the balls to say, hey, what you're doing. Like nobody in the middle. Management part is like, hey, you're up. Here's how it's done. What needs to happen is all a FEMA needs to get put under the Department of Defense.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Because you have a very large workforce that's already on the clock. They're already getting paid. It doesn't cost you any more to use them. All you gotta do is move them places. And they're really good at it. They're the best in the world at it. As a matter of fact, it already exists. And one of the things, I wrote one of my master's thesis on this after Katrina. One of the lessons we learned was, why are you trying to recreate these distribution wheels? Why are you trying to do that? Walmart and Amazon exist. Fucking use them, call them, get them on the phone. They've got all the water and diapers you need, buddy. I promise you they'll never run out either. And they have trucks to get them there. All you have to do is say, hey, we need X. And they'll have them there. Right. I had a week or two ago, one of the, one of the guys from Cajun Navy.

[Dan Holloway]

It's kind of weird. They don't do that on their own, though, if we're being honest.

[DJ Cruise]

You would think. Oh, you mean Walmart?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, Walmart and Amazon should be doing that on their own, bro. Like, companies my size, we spend a significant amount of money, me both, me personally and our company in situations like that almost every single time.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, the Walmart foundation does, but not on their own. They give a lot of money, but they don't give. I, I, they, they help people, so they help Cajun Navy set up a distribution center that holds a lot of equipment like that, but I don't think Amazon does anything. Now, Amazon's a useful tool if you're in a local community. You have a disaster, make an Amazon wish list and just put it on the Internet. People like us will share it. And you, you will get the stuff you need, I promise. And Amazon's quite a bit better at getting it there than the government typically is. But yeah, the DoD is already on staff. We have. What if you, if you include all the National Guards. We got like 2 million people on staff. Why are we, why are we going out and paying. Why do we have, why do we have like an entire additional federal agency stood up that isn't even good at it?

[Dan Holloway]

What's the fucking excuse as to why they weren't there?

[DJ Cruise]

The military?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. If we got 2 million people to help these people, why, why were they not there?

[DJ Cruise]

That was so I can tell you the story if you'd like to hear it.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, how long is it?

[DJ Cruise]

Very brief. Okay, so the governor, we were going back and forth on the phone with the governor of North Carolina at the time. He's gone now. He's a fucking idiot. He didn't know. He says he didn't know. I didn't. What exactly am I supposed to do here? He was asking the ngo, what am I supposed to do here? It's like, declare a state of emergency seed control to the dod. That's it. Then they'll take care of it.

[Dan Holloway]

Oh, he wouldn't do it.

[DJ Cruise]

No. 1 female colonel in the North Carolina National Guard. I can't remember her name, but fuck her, right? People are dead because of her. And I hope there's an investigation into this at some point and she goes to prison for the rest of her life. But she kept. She was in his ear the whole time. I had people from below her and above her telling me this, like, in the National Guard, there. She kept, she was in this dude's ear, like, no, don't give up control. We need to be the site commander. Why you're the commander of a North Carolina National Guard unit. You've got the 82nd Airborne down the road. Which I was in, by the way. We specialize in jumping into places and setting up a city. That's what we do. We jump in season airfield and set up medical, ammo, supply, security, comms, everything we can, we can jump in and within three days set up a fucking city. A functional city. That's what that's like what we do. It's like what we're trained are the 82nd airport specialties to do exactly that. Right. Going behind enemy lines and set up a fucking base. Now how could that possibly be applicable to a city that's been wiped out? Of course it is.

[Dan Holloway]

Same thing.

[DJ Cruise]

Get the fuck out of my way. Yeah, like this, this pride of authorship or whatever it is. Like, I've got to be the one that solves it, man.

[Dan Holloway]

That's ego.

[DJ Cruise]

What the fuck?

[Dan Holloway]

It's fucking ego, bro. It's. It's hubris. It's ego. It's self, you know, glorifying. And it ends up killing people.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

There's zero accountability when that happens. That's. I mean, I hope she does go to.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I mean, there's, there, there's going to be an investigation.

[Andy Vercella]

Good.

[DJ Cruise]

At some point, but yeah, that's what happened. That's what happened. And, and, you know, it's. It's unconscionable to think that we've got all these reasons we're the richest country in the history of the world. We can fix that problem. Yeah, right. We've already fixed it actually. We're just trying to fix it in a new way that includes civilians in the federal government. Instead of like, when you were growing up, what were the National Guard commercials? It was, dude, stacking sandbags. That was the National Guard commercial. Like, hey, come here and help your community. That was the whole commercial.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Now it's just like, come here and wear a dress. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

And don't help that guy with the Trump, you know, Trump campaign.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

In his yard. Yeah. That's crazy, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. FEMA was actually putting that out. I've seen some of those. Some of those. And again, that, that came from middle management in fema. And government employees, by and large, are liberal for the most part. Right. Believe what you want, but that's, that's the reality. And they're like, yeah, if you go, if somebody's got a Trump sign on their property, they made it. They may attack you if you're wearing FEMA stuff. Like, yeah, somebody that hasn't eaten in four days is going to attack you when you come with a bag of McDonald's. Yeah, right off, dude.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, it's stupid, man. It's stupid with guys. Let's do some cruising.

[Dan Holloway]

All right.

[Andy Vercella]

Got a lot of stuff to cover.

[DJ Cruise]

A lot of weird going on.

[Andy Vercella]

It's a lot of weird going on. So let's get into it. Remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andy4seller.com we can. You guys can find them all linked there, or just come join us on YouTube and come watch all of these articles, links, videos. With that being said, let's get to our first set of headlines. Headlines. Number one, before we get deep, deep into it, do you guys see Trump get smacked with the mic? I did the hot mic.

[DJ Cruise]

No. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

So Trump. Trump was doing this. It was addressed in the media at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland before to the D leaving D.C. and he was taking some questions. He was in. In good spirits, and a giant fuzzy dong hit him right in the. Right in the lip.

[DJ Cruise]

Like it's happened to the best of us, you know?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Usually in private, but usually on the weekends. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Never happened to me.

[DJ Cruise]

That's not true.

[Andy Vercella]

Never happened to me. But let's check this out. So, I mean, it's interesting. Let's just watch the. Here's the clip.

[DJ Cruise]

Hit with a boom mic.

[Andy Vercella]

Is that a nice, big, fuzzy black dude?

[DJ Cruise]

How you don't want to be that guy?

[Dan Holloway]

It wasn boom mic. It was a. It was a handheld. It got shoved in his face.

[DJ Cruise]

That's even worse.

[Andy Vercella]

Let's check this out.

[Dan Holloway]

It was intentional.

[Andy Vercella]

Mr. President, obviously you're concerned.

[DJ Cruise]

Look at that. Look you're concerned about. What are the hopes now to. To get the hunter? He's trying not to smirk. I just became a big story tonight.

[Dan Holloway]

That's.

[Andy Vercella]

Dude, that's when you do one of these.

[Dan Holloway]

Look, I don't agree with everything Trump says or obviously, but, dude, I really do like the guy.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, he's funny, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Pretty funny.

[Dan Holloway]

He's a funny.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, you can get butt hurt about it, or you can start smiling.

[Dan Holloway]

That was a big smile.

[DJ Cruise]

Your boss is gonna be pissed.

[Andy Vercella]

He's like, she's gonna be a big.

[Dan Holloway]

Story, but he doesn't know it.

[DJ Cruise]

He does that all the time. Remember the event at Mar a Lago where the camera's panning around and all of a sudden it meets his eyeline and he's like, looking at you, buddy? Yeah, he's always. He's just an Old grandpa that this point.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, here's the thing.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, dude, he's always had a lot of swag, bro. Like, he's. I mean, his whole life. That's why he's Trump, you know, for sure.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, here's the thing. So, like, when this first happened, obviously you don't really see who's behind the camera a lot of times. Right. And I think most people, you know, surface level, would watch this and maybe not think, oh, yeah, I mean, it's just an accident. Right? I mean, it has a long pole. The mic was, you know, sticking on and stuff. Right. Well, and she's been identified. The lady who did this.

[DJ Cruise]

Is it that track runner that clubbed the girl with a baton? Girl. She just keeps showing up.

[Dan Holloway]

Might as well be her.

[Andy Vercella]

It might as well be her.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, boy.

[Andy Vercella]

You know? But, yeah, they've identified it. We got to go to Laura Loomer. She's been putting this out on Twitter here. She tweeted this out. She said, I have identified the reporter who hit President Donald Trump in the face with the boom mic this week while he was speaking on. Speaking to the press on the tarmac. Her name is Danielle Kurtles Ben, and she is the newly appointed White House reporter for npr. All right, so this is Danielle's profile. Was Danielle's profile. She since went off of Twitter after Tatanka. Yeah, Tatanka.

[DJ Cruise]

Wait, is she a wrestler?

[Dan Holloway]

That's what I'm saying.

[DJ Cruise]

Wasn't the Tonka a wrestler from the 80s?

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. Well, I mean, but here's the question. Oh, I mean, you see where her location is? Your lawn.

[DJ Cruise]

Sure, yeah. Show up on my lawn.

[Andy Vercella]

She's like a little. Little like, she's kind of fiery. Right? You know, but.

[DJ Cruise]

But, Kurt, wear level four plates if you show up on my lawn, honey.

[Dan Holloway]

Tonka, White lady Tonka's on your lawn.

[DJ Cruise]

Do your rain dance out there.

[Dan Holloway]

She must be friends with Elizabeth Warren.

[DJ Cruise]

She's 1 32,000. Tatanka.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, but, no, but, like, you know, so we. I'm looking at all of the stuff coming out. Dude, I think that was on purpose.

[DJ Cruise]

Maybe. Yeah. I mean, look, people do stupid, like.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, man, just look at some of her past remarks about Trump. She wrote this article on npr. The headline read, former President Trump faces criticism of using language reminiscent of Hitler. Right. Saying that the language echoes language used by Adolf Hitler and raises questions about authoritarianism raising rising in the United States.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it's only those two guys that I've ever said that word. I also heard, and I don't know if this is true or not, But I saw a picture of Hitler drinking a bottle of water and then Trump.

[Andy Vercella]

Trump drinkable.

[DJ Cruise]

I saw drinking a bottle of water as well.

[Dan Holloway]

So I saw Hitler petting a dog.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, so that means he was really into German shepherds.

[Dan Holloway]

That means. That means all. We have to kill all the dogs because they're evil.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, dogs are related to Hitler.

[Dan Holloway]

I get it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

There's a spawn of Hitler.

[DJ Cruise]

It makes sense.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You think about it?

[Andy Vercella]

I think she did that shit on purpose, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

She probably did. Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

It was probably a fucking. A germ attack. She probably rubbed some of her germs on there and stuck it in trouble.

[Andy Vercella]

Oh, fuck, bro. Yeah, that's how they get them in California.

[DJ Cruise]

That's not even a felony in California anymore.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, no shit.

[DJ Cruise]

You can give somebody.

[Dan Holloway]

You just give somebody aids.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah, but I don't know, Alex. I just wanted to throw that in there.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, you know, Trump likes the ladies. He's smiling pretty big.

[Andy Vercella]

Tatonka.

[Dan Holloway]

Wonder where that thing was.

[Andy Vercella]

Me and Tatonka ain't talking. Okay. I ain't talking.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, does she block you?

[Andy Vercella]

Huh? No, I mean, she. I mean, bro, that's like. No, bro, bro, come on.

[Dan Holloway]

Tatanka. Bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Why do they always look like that?

[Dan Holloway]

Why do they always.

[Andy Vercella]

Why do they always.

[Dan Holloway]

Why do they always look like that?

[Andy Vercella]

What do they look like, Dan?

[Dan Holloway]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Cruise]

Land a battleship on that forehead and she's got no chin. It's weak genetics. Her hairline is receding and she's got no chin.

[Dan Holloway]

Bro, that nose.

[Andy Vercella]

You're smell coffee in Brazil brewing. You know what I'm saying?

[Dan Holloway]

You know? So anyway, did anyone see that speech? That kid in the ball. Oh, my God, I just want to.

[Andy Vercella]

Throw that in there. I don't know.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, we, you know, she's at some dinner party tonight telling her friends how I got him.

[Dan Holloway]

I smacked him in the face. You know what, Donald Trump? I smacked him in the face with my furry microphone.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, the good news is NPR won't exist soon, so.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, that's probably why she hit him.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, she's probably gonna be sleeping on somebody's lawn soon. Yeah, instead of hanging out microphone.

[Dan Holloway]

She sure you ain't gonna be sleeping with anybody? No, that face.

[DJ Cruise]

Not a man.

[Dan Holloway]

Tatonka.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Oh, man, that's her secret finishing move, the tatanka.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, he did a leg drop, right? Or was it a. I think it was a leg drop. I don't remember.

[Dan Holloway]

That, dude. That was our era. Yeah, that was like back in the 80s.

[Andy Vercella]

Is that the real wrestling.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, dude, no, I. I'm a.

[Dan Holloway]

You know George the Animal Steel?

[Andy Vercella]

Nope, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

He used to eat the turnbuckles, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, he eat them. Yeah. And then Foley and Foley, Terry Funk and those guys, they were still hitting each other in the head with barbed wire. And Jim.

[Dan Holloway]

Jim Hacksaw. Jim Duggan.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, he's my cousin. Oh, yeah, well, he's married to my cousin.

[Dan Holloway]

Shut the up.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. I swear to God.

[Dan Holloway]

Really? Yeah, he's awesome. Jake the Snake Roberts.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I was more. I like the Attitude era, though. I like Stone Cold and DJ and all that.

[Dan Holloway]

My favorite wrestlers of all time was. Was the nwa. The. They had their nwo. They had Scott Steiner. Big Papa Pump.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Big Papa Pump was awesome. Buff Bagwell.

[DJ Cruise]

Buff Bagwell, yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Shit's now fake for sure.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, Well, I mean, it's. Come on.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, I'm saying. But back then, like, bro, like, they were probably like, really each other up.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. There was this thing they used to do where they would take a little razor and cut right above the eyebrow line so you couldn't see it. And that's where the blood would come from. Like, that's commitment, I guess. I'm not doing that.

[Andy Vercella]

No, no, I'm not doing that. Yeah, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

Andre the Giant. Andre the Giant used to drink a hundred beers at the city.

[DJ Cruise]

You know that?

[Dan Holloway]

100 beers.

[DJ Cruise]

If I had to do something a hundred times to get up, I would switch to something else.

[Andy Vercella]

Just go. Go to crack, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

Just go crack co.

[DJ Cruise]

Smoking cocaine. Freebase cocaine, dude.

[Dan Holloway]

Get some of that 100 beers, bro. There's a picture if you Google on the Internet of him holding a beer.

[Andy Vercella]

Holding a beer can, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

It looks like a child.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

Size.

[Dan Holloway]

It looks like a fake kids beer can.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah, like one of those. Like the one Ryan has for a kitchen set type thing. Yeah, yeah, that's what it looks like. It's crazy. But, yeah, let's. Let's keep this cruise moving, man. We got. We got some interesting stuff on the horizon here. First thing is the Dems. I mean, they're. They're falling apart. Left. I call them communists. We call them communists on the show. They're falling completely apart. Lowest approval rating, 29. I mean, I. I've actually seen it in some places where, like, the actual. Those who approve of them are like.

[Dan Holloway]

7% 29 on CNN. So it's half of that.

[Andy Vercella]

It's half of that.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Statistically, yeah. You know, but it doesn't stop them. Crockett on Schumer saying many Americans Want younger, fresher leadership.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, this is Jasmine Crockett.

[Andy Vercella]

Jasmine Crockett.

[DJ Cruise]

Have you seen the video of her before she became a congresswoman?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, she was like a Ms. Proper.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, we call that code switching.

[DJ Cruise]

Code switching? Yeah. What do you mean we, huh?

[Andy Vercella]

Well, I mean, you know, you said you grew up with us. We.

[Dan Holloway]

You better watch your bike around, Dan.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I'll steal. I'll cut that channel real quick.

[Andy Vercella]

You think.

[DJ Cruise]

You think those U locks are gonna stop me?

[Dan Holloway]

I have no chance.

[DJ Cruise]

No, I've got a DeWalt grinder. Yeah, take that thing right down.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, I'm with it. But, yeah, she's. She. She's. She's. She's hopping in here. She said she made a statement saying, quote, I understand that the American people are frustrated. Please believe many of us did not sleep because we were calling and trying to impress upon the senators the importance of pushing back in this moment. As you saw, we had all but one Democrat in the House that voted for this. So that's 212 Democrats in the House. And then you had the vast majority of senators vote for it or vote against it as well. And so this idea that Chuck Schumer is the only one that's got a brain in the room and the only one that can think through all of the pros and cons is absolutely ridiculous. Now, here's the interesting thing, right? Do you guys remember, like, I think maybe a week ago, two weeks ago, where we realized that they were all saying the exact same thing? Yeah, there was, like, that montage that came out, Right. It was very scripted. I think they're trying to do that. You know, they sat down in the chair, holding a little microphone thing. They have a new script.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh.

[Andy Vercella]

That just got released. Have you seen it yet?

[Dan Holloway]

No, but before we get into that, imagine believing that Chuck Schumer has a.

[DJ Cruise]

Brain or jacket, to be fair. I mean, she's. So this whole thing is fake, right?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

These. This CR is the continuation of Biden's budget from 2024. That's all it is, the one that they voted for. So they're against the thing they just voted for. Yeah, because Republicans are for it a.

[Andy Vercella]

Couple of months ago.

[DJ Cruise]

That is just to be clear.

[Dan Holloway]

I just want to show you they're not.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah. Well, they have a new script now, and I got. We got, you know, just this quick montage here. But, yeah, just drop. Let's check this out.

[Dan Holloway]

The strength that we have is in this moment. Listen to your constituents, center them in this moment. But I can tell you that there are a lot of people that are.

[DJ Cruise]

Watching his leadership in this moment. This is the moment. No, I think about what's happening, you know, in this moment.

[Dan Holloway]

What's important is that we meet this moment. So are these current Democrats the ones to meet the moment?

[DJ Cruise]

What do you want to see us doing right now in this moment?

[Dan Holloway]

And which Democrats are actually going to.

[DJ Cruise]

Stand up against Elon Musk and Donald.

[Andy Vercella]

Trump in this moment?

[DJ Cruise]

Fight that you all are exhibiting is not just what the base wants, but.

[Dan Holloway]

It'S what this moment requires.

[Andy Vercella]

What are you guys doing in this moment?

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, man, that's embarrassing.

[Dan Holloway]

I'm thinking about how fucking stupid these people are. How stupid you got to be to not understand that everything you say is on camera and recorded and can. And there's people out there that are looking for this.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

24 hours a day.

[Andy Vercella]

How can you not understand that everything you say and do is going to be on camera? And people like.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, you could tell they learned a lesson from the last time.

[Andy Vercella]

They try to change it up.

[Dan Holloway]

They're trying to, like, have a little ad lib going on there.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, the, the. Here's the other issue with this. Chris Murphy and. And center. Right. And then Tim Walls, they're establishment people. And then you have AOC Presley and Jasmine Crockett at the top. They're supposed to be part of the, the young progressive wing. That's not. We're not part of the establishment anymore. Well, clearly you are because we'll use our talking points. Right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, don't, don't try to like, especially aoc she's such a fraud. Everything she says and does is a fucking fraud anytime. So she came into Congress as the most radical person and every time she votes with the Democratic Party, no matter what. Right. No matter what kind of stupid it is, she always does.

[Andy Vercella]

No, when they said radical, they meant like, you know, the fake arrest that she tried to do. Or like when she got, like, went down to the border to see the kids and nobody was really there.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, she just really doesn't like chain link fences. Yeah, that's what that was.

[Andy Vercella]

Really, really radical.

[DJ Cruise]

Cry.

[Andy Vercella]

Really radical. Yeah, but so you got that going on. New script coming in. Well, I'm sure this montage will probably.

[DJ Cruise]

There'll be another one next week. Yeah, they also, like three weeks in a row now, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

They also love to, like, try to present everything as like an historic event that they're a part of, like history. You want to be on the right side of history in this moment. It's like, dude, shut the up.

[DJ Cruise]

It's just histrionics, right? Like, if you can't. If you can't get somebody, if you don't have a compelling argument to make, you just make it sound like it's the end of the world.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

That's what they do.

[Dan Holloway]

And by the way, you attack the character of the person saying it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. I just want to reiterate this again. This thing that they're talking about, the CR that they hate, is their budget from last year. It's literally the one that they put into place and the Biden signed. That's. It's. There's no difference.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Fucking ass. Ass hats.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

That's a good word for the day.

[Dan Holloway]

I love how they all try to make Hakeem Jeffries like, he's out to be the fucking next Obama.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And, like, that's a good thing.

[Andy Vercella]

He's a straight communist.

[Dan Holloway]

Like, that's a good thing. Like, people fucking hate Obama.

[DJ Cruise]

Timu Obama, I think is what people are saying now.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Timo Obama. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Timo Obama. Timu.

[DJ Cruise]

Timo.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got that going on. Another news going on right now. Did you guys see that the French are now demanding that we return the. The statute?

[DJ Cruise]

Well, they're welcome to come try and take it.

[Andy Vercella]

That's what I.

[Dan Holloway]

That's.

[Andy Vercella]

I'm on board. Come and get it.

[DJ Cruise]

I'd love to see that.

[Dan Holloway]

Come.

[Andy Vercella]

Come and get it. I mean, how do you remove it? Like, what are you gonna do?

[Dan Holloway]

Guys got enough to worry about.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, I mean, I think so. They're.

[Andy Vercella]

They're saying your president's married to a dude, bro. Like, you worried about the wrong statue.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

They're saying we should return it or not. They. It's not the French government. It's one.

[Andy Vercella]

It's one lawmaker. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. He wants us to return it. I mean, and after. This is the. The really insulting part is after we had the common decency to chisel the arm hair off of it before we actually put it up in New York. Right. If you look at the one that's actually in France still, it's gross.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You know, these people are out of their minds. Like, Europe is. I don't. I don't really know what the average European citizen thinks. I would love to hear from some of them, like, are you okay with your country being invaded? Like, do you know about the Barbary pirates and the. And the Ottoman Empire? That this is just, like, 100 years ago? Yeah, it was just 100 years ago, man. That this stuff got shut down. Do you really not remember that? Like, do you, have you read a history book? It's always a problem that people who have no concept of history are in charge of people's futures. Right.

[Dan Holloway]

These people have been eased into globalism thinking to where now it's group think throughout the Western Europe region.

[DJ Cruise]

But there's no way that the average, like Italian middle aged citizen or Spanish or whatever else, especially Spanish, because they actually, they've had to kick out the Ottomans a couple times are okay with this horde of lunatics being pushed into their country. There's no way they're okay with that.

[Dan Holloway]

I know quite a few people that live in Europe and the ones I've talked to, they all think they believe, which is incredible, that Trump is the problem. And what I think is weird is they've. These people have been indoctrinated and inched into thinking that globalism and a communism and no national identity is freedom. And so that's like, dude, these people even here, like they've been. The leftists have been so brainwashed that they think they're the freedom fighters.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Like they think they're the patriots.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, that's what the whole EU was even established for. Was it like, that was a mad.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. So when they look at like what Trump's doing, they don't see it as, you know, moving closer to freedom. They see it as moving closer to the direction that they're already in, you know, which is, it's like, guys, have you ever stopped and actually tried to understand or look at anything other than what the media has been telling you?

[Andy Vercella]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Do you remember that, that little speech from newsroom Jeff Bridges, or sorry, Jeff Daniels, where he's like that. The college girl's like, why is America the best country in the world? Which is a different.

[Dan Holloway]

And he's like, it's not.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it is actually. He's like, Canada has freedom, France has freedom. Like, no, they don't actually. Yeah, they don't. Can you say whatever you want without legal repercussions, then you don't have freedom face. You know what I mean? But that's, that's been the trope over the last 15, 20 years or so, that Europe is somehow on par with the United States and that we share something like now we don't share anything with you. We are the continuation of English civilization. That's what America is. We're the ones that got it right. We took everything good about England and we kicked out all the, and we made a country out of it, right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, it was 200 years ago.

[DJ Cruise]

We took the most functional civilization in the history of human beings. And when I say functional, I mean economic power, military power, and the way that they're the English common law had developed over the years and we brought it here and we gave it to Jefferson and Thomas Paine and John Stuart Mill and people like this and they refined it into what is the best country that's ever existed and probably will ever exist on this fucking planet. And comparing the United States to Europe or Canada or any of this stuff, get dude, these people are begging to be governed by somebody always. And what they don't understand is the history of Europe is the history of totalitarianism. It always happens in one form or another. And right now they're building the mechanic, they're building the infrastructure from some lunatic like Hitler to come in and take control. Let's build one government for everybody. Okay, cool. So now one guy can come in and just take over.

[Dan Holloway]

That's our whole plan of your goddamn mind.

[DJ Cruise]

Do you not see the problem with that, bro? But they don't, they don't see the problem.

[Dan Holloway]

That is their plan. Their, their plan is to get everybody to buy into this globalist, okay. And to create a situation where they could come in and remove western whites from the equation through a genocide. That's what the. They're working to do and they're repopulating their, their countries with these people from all over the place. Because in their mind these people are easy to control and rule. And bro, we're, It's a dangerous situation.

[Andy Vercella]

I mean, especially because globally white people, actually minorities, globally, you know, I mean, it's like 8%, 8%. You know what I'm saying? So, I mean, yeah, I mean it's, it's a day.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, you know, in America right now, do you know what percentage of the population in the United States are natural born citizens and whether not 16% of Americans are people that living. Are living in America right now are not natural born citizens. 16% is the highest ever in this country's history right now in 2025, not during.

[Dan Holloway]

You're saying 16% are not natural born.

[DJ Cruise]

Correct? Yeah, it's the highest it's ever been in this country. It's higher than it was.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean that makes sense because you just brought in 17 million fucking people.

[DJ Cruise]

It's higher than it was in the 1890s, like from, from the 1890s through the 1920s. The Ellis Islands. Right, so it was 1890s and again, I think in 1913-15 was the second round. I believe that even during that period, we're higher now than they were ever back then. As a percentage, not total, right? As a percentage, yeah. And we're way bigger than we were, like what, four or five times larger population wise than we were back then. We have millions and millions of people in this country. I mean, we're talking that. What's, what's 16% of 330 million?

[Andy Vercella]

Too fucking many.

[DJ Cruise]

That's like 55 million people, something like that.

[Andy Vercella]

It's crazy, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude, what the fuck? You can't. You can do some damage with 55 million people and you don't deserve to be here. Nobody does. Right. You don't, you're. You are our guest until you fucking go through the process. I don't give a fuck what they think here. I get that the price for admission is assimilation. You come here to become an American motherfucker. And if you're not planning on doing that, get your ass.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, don't bring your fucking culture here.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I don't give a shit about.

[Dan Holloway]

Your culture, otherwise I'd move there.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, if your culture's so good, then go back to it.

[Dan Holloway]

That's right.

[DJ Cruise]

You know what I mean?

[Dan Holloway]

I'm with you. That Jeff Daniels thing, though, he doesn't he say, isn't his whole rebuttal about like, statistically proving how America. He says America is not the greatest.

[DJ Cruise]

Yes.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

He goes, We're 29th in math. We're this and that. We're this and this and this and this and this and this.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, we're 29th in math because of the Department of education. We were third in math the year before the Department of Education. Yeah, third.

[Dan Holloway]

78 or whatever in history.

[DJ Cruise]

And look, we're not going to beat the Chinese. Come on. It's just not going to happen, dude.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, I mean, you know, other things you got, you know that are going on here. Because this is, this is also interesting. Last little piece on this, this, this French thing.

[Dan Holloway]

Hold on. I agree on the assimilation too, by the way. Like 1000%. Like, the last thing I want to do is be walking down the street and fucking seeing 4,000 different fucking people doing four. Like, dude, I saw this video. I don't even want to get into it.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. And then Macron just came out today calling on the EU to ditch American weapons as Europe's Boycott United States movement grow. So now, like, they're all trying to gang up against us, which I think was part of the plan to begin with.

[DJ Cruise]

That's why the EU was created in the first place.

[Andy Vercella]

That's what I was saying.

[DJ Cruise]

An economic counterpart to the United States, to the US for what reason?

[Andy Vercella]

They're not even fucking close.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, you guys don't make. There's no, there are no energy reserves on the continent of Europe except for Russia and Ukraine. Right. I mean, there's, there's small bits here.

[Dan Holloway]

And there, you know, for not having much. They sure make a lot of demands.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

I say conquer them all, you know, like, I'm just saying conquer them all, bro. I'll go to. Yeah, I'd love to see there. We fly there on the same US passport. Let's roll. You know, but another little last news. I want to wrap this, this first set up though, but this just came out today as well. I'm not sure if you guys saw this because you also, we also alluded to some accountability earlier. Andy, this might change how you're feeling. I don't know. The cell line reads, trump says Biden's auto pin pardons are void, vacant and of no further force or effect. Val's probe of J6 House Select Committee. So this just came out. This, this just came out early this morning. Before the show was recorded, Trump had truth. He put a truth out about this, about this topic. He says, quote, the pardons that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of political thugs and many others are hereby declared void, vacant and of no further force or effect because of the fact they were done by auto pin. Trump posted on Truth Social early Monday morning. Now, there's been a lot of stuff that's come out about this too, about the auto pin. I know we've, we've covered it when it first, you know, first got dropped, that this was auto pinned. And I said, I mean, okay, like I get it right? Like there's plenty of things that go on in business or I obviously the country where, yeah, auto pin is still there, no big deal. But I feel like there's certain things that, you know, that require, that should require like the actual president actually fucking signing it. And I feel like pardon should be definitely one of those things. Trade agreements, war. Like you can't auto pin that you shouldn't be able to at least. But it's interesting because now we got, we might have a name to who's been doing this. And this is the interesting part. You know, we talk about the cabal, deep state, whatever you want to call it, running, you know, making the calls. Behind the play. Um, and apparently there is an aid that was literally hitting the button on all of this shit. And we have a name, so let's dive into this. Is this the key aid behind Biden auto pin pardons? Biden White House Staff Secretary lashes out at Trump for declaring Biden's auto pin pardons void. Um, her name is Neera Tandeen. Neera Tandeen. She tweeted this out. Um, she says, quote, more importantly, does this mean everything with the Trump auto pin signature is void in this administration? In the last. Because there's a lot by auto pin in every administration. Some enterprising lawyers may want to sue, to which the oversight project, which is who released this, you know, a couple of weeks ago, they replied directly to her saying, you were White House staff secretary when Biden auto pinned pardons from the golf course in usvi. Is this you? And then they, you know, submitted the proof. I mean, here's a auto pin that was done. This was done on December 30th of 2022. And this was, you know, put out as a press release and all of that good stuff. But, you know, the President's schedules kept meticulously. We know where they go, how long they're there, and all of that good stuff. And yet Biden was in the Virgin Islands. This was also around the time he went. And then that Attorney General who was looking into that bank for the Epstein was also fired. Same exact trip. Kind of interesting. But, yeah, that was put in then, too. So, I mean, if. If you know who all. It wasn't just the J6 select committee. They got the preemptive pardons.

[DJ Cruise]

Fauci.

[Andy Vercella]

There's a lot of people.

[DJ Cruise]

The Attorney General, Merrick Garland got one. Hunter Biden got one. That was from 2013 until present.

[Andy Vercella]

James Biden, I mean, it was a.

[DJ Cruise]

Lot of brother got one. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

And they were all auto pinned. So if none of them are in effect, that means, you know, again, I mean, I don't know what the purpose of the pardons to begin with, if they did nothing wrong, you know, and. But I mean, if they're in the pants, I think that, you know, kind of shows something. Now, what they're gonna do about it. I don't know.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, this isn't gonna. This isn't legal, frankly.

[Andy Vercella]

Which piece?

[DJ Cruise]

Trump. Whatever. Trump trying to say.

[Andy Vercella]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

All he did was tweet something.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

To be honest, because Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution is very clear that. That the President has completely unmolested access to that. Only the president can do that. Nobody can stop him, frankly. Right.

[Andy Vercella]

I mean, that's his pardons.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Right. But the question is whether he did it or not.

[DJ Cruise]

But here's. So, like, just play it out in your head. Legally speaking, they call Biden into the room with the White House counsel and ask him, hey, did you sign this pardon or did you approve this pardon? All he's got to do is say yes and it's over. Right.

[Andy Vercella]

Then.

[DJ Cruise]

Right. And he will. Like you're not. You're not going to get some cognitive test. I'm not saying that he's right. And I think it's very clear to everybody that Biden was never conscious during any part of his presidency. I don't. I don't buy the, like, oh, sometime in 2022. No, the whole time he was retarded.

[Dan Holloway]

That's why he was run.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah. The whole time, man.

[Dan Holloway]

He was run to create the illusion of incompetency so that they could get away with the. That they did.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

If you had a guy in there who was competent and said, we're going to let the border open in 17, bro, there'd be a revolt. All right? So everybody in America was manipulated into thinking that Biden was this poor, feeble, fragile, senile man, which he was. All the while they did all of these damaging things to the country intentionally to bring it down.

[Andy Vercella]

All right, so elder abuse is what it was.

[Dan Holloway]

Was.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Now, bro, it was straight up manipulation and lies, and they did it so that they could get closer into a globalist society.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Well, there's. So there's two major cases on this. States versus Klein from 1872 and then ex parte Garland in 1866. And both courts affirmed that once a pardon is issued, it's issued unless you can prove fraud, which is what they may try to do. But I don't. I just don't see how you do it.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, how do you prove?

[Andy Vercella]

Well, I mean, it's easy to prove.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Dude, how do you say that? The auto pen for that is. Doesn't work when it's accepted in other.

[Andy Vercella]

In other areas.

[DJ Cruise]

Right, right.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, I think we all know what the happened.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

For sure. I agree.

[DJ Cruise]

It's. It's an impossible case to make, to be honest, because unless somebody, like, even. Even if everybody. And that worked for Biden testified that he was mentally out of it. Right. You can't prove that he was on that specific moment. Right. And that's. That's what matters. So I don't see that Going anywhere. To be honest, I think this is just a publicity stunt.

[Dan Holloway]

I think a lot of things he says are for that. A lot of things he says are for getting everybody riled up about how great of a thing he's doing and then most of it doesn't happen.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, the smarter move to, to would be to subpoena these people, subpoena Fauci and start asking him questions because he can't be charged with anything that he did while in government because of this pardon. But every time he lies under oath, he can be charged with contempt of Congress, which you can, you know, it's three years and thirty thousand dollar fine. Just keep doing that over and over. Keep him in there a couple days until he racks up 100 years and throw his ass in prison for the rest of his life.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, that's how they do it.

[DJ Cruise]

And he can't use the fifth Amendment.

[Dan Holloway]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

Right. Once you.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, they do it indirectly, bro. You've seen these, these.

[DJ Cruise]

No, no, they can't. He can't do it.

[Dan Holloway]

No, they do things like. I don't, I don't recall.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, then, then that would be a crime as well, right? That would be a crime of omission. It's still a crime. So once you get a, receive a pardon, the fifth amendment no longer applies because you can't.

[Dan Holloway]

Is that a crime of omission? If you don't recall?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. If you could be proved that he does recall. If I could show him evidence like, hey, here's your signature on something. You don't recall signing this. I don't recall like, well, here it is. Here's the evidence. Did you do it or not? Well, yes, I did. All right, there, good. Now you've said it. Force that, force these people to say this, that they did out loud.

[Dan Holloway]

Dude, listen, real talk, I don't agree with any of that shit. I think the country needs a total fucking dictator that is fucking morally aligned that's going to come in and clean the fucking shit up and set it back where it was. I, I hope Trump does do this and I hope he breaks the law to do it and puts these motherfuckers in the wood chipper.

[Andy Vercella]

Maybe he has immunity.

[Dan Holloway]

Shit, dude, I don't even think, I don't even think Trump's the guy to be that guy.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, he, maybe not, but you know, Biden just set a precedent. Nobody's ever given a preemptive pardon before. Yeah, and Trump is well within his rights to, on his last day in office, to give himself a lifetime Preemptive pardon for anything he might ever do.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, right.

[DJ Cruise]

And if they try to charge him with something and then, you know, the Republicans can always go back and charge these other guys. But I agree, I think history is pretty clear that a benevolent dictator is better than any other type of government.

[Dan Holloway]

That's what I'm saying.

[DJ Cruise]

But the problem is succession, right? Like who the.

[Dan Holloway]

No, no, no, forever.

[DJ Cruise]

For every Augustus Caesar you get a Tiberius who literally raped little babies. Babies, right.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And you get a Nero and a Caligula. You get three of those for every one good one you get.

[Dan Holloway]

But what we need is a Sulla.

[DJ Cruise]

A Sulla? Why?

[Dan Holloway]

Because you need someone to restore what this country is supposed to be. And that's what the. That guy did.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

You know, but. And then it was sets. You know, you set the country up for another. In another hundred years it could get corrupt again. But in my opinion, we do need a benevolent dictator who would come in, wipe the slate clean, punish people that need to be punished, reset the country to where it should be, what the values it's supposed to have, and then let it go from there. And then that person should step down and let the process work itself.

[DJ Cruise]

So somewhere between Sulla and Cincinnatus then. Yeah, yeah. I mean it's interesting to think about. I don't know why people are so offended by the idea of an oligarchy one like we don't have one and haven't always had one. Even in this so called democracy. Right. We've always had it. But you know, do the thought experiment yourself. Should most people be involved in running the government?

[Dan Holloway]

No, like not only that, most people like real talk. We would fix a lot of problems by just making the voting system more exclusive to where if you have a tax return that you paid into the system, you are awarded a vote. If you do not have a tax return, you are not allowed to vote. Because dude, part of the problem here is we have a bunch of that don't do voting for more free from the people who are out there working.

[DJ Cruise]

Can I run a thought experiment by you?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay, let's say you have an impoverished class of some sort. It doesn't have to be on racial lines or anything, just the impoverished. It doesn't matter any of their other demographics, throw them out the window. It's just poor people, right?

[Dan Holloway]

That's all you got, right?

[DJ Cruise]

Okay. No, no, I'm just saying just focus on this one group. Okay, so what's to stop the class that has had success in the past from dominating Them for into perpetuity.

[Andy Vercella]

Apparently. We already do that.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, we do.

[Dan Holloway]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Andy Vercella]

We do.

[Dan Holloway]

But it's like what's to stop the po. The impoverish class from stealing from the class that works. When they are given equal rights to the people who. As a people.

[DJ Cruise]

Sure. I mean it can go both ways. But I'm talking.

[Dan Holloway]

That's what's happening now.

[DJ Cruise]

I'm talking about your idea. That's called a dictatorship of the minority. I believe is what. That's what you're referring to.

[Dan Holloway]

Or America. Yeah, I mean that's what's. That's where they're pushing towards because.

[DJ Cruise]

But they don't have any real power. Right. They're just being led along. They're being.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, do you go to jail if you don't pay your tax?

[DJ Cruise]

Well, you should. Yeah, right. I mean not should. I hate taxes are. But like in our system, according to the law. According to the law, yeah. Right. But here the issue is this. The people who are currently functioning well. Right. And our goal should be to make sure everybody's functioning well.

[Dan Holloway]

Totally agree.

[DJ Cruise]

The northern European countries handle this quite a bit better than we do. You have so you mentioned before about putting limits on social welfare and shit like that. They don't have it. But what they do have is the government fucking just straight up tells you your job doesn't exist anymore. You got to go fucking learn to do something else. And we'll help you. But you're going to learn or you're getting the out. Yeah. We're not going to help you forever. Now I don't think the government should be involved in that. I'm kind of curious where all the church tax free money's going to deal with these social issues, to be honest. But. So back to the other part. What is to stop the. Let's call them the ruling class. And I don't mean that as a pejorative. I mean literally that's what they would be if they. If they're the only ones with the vote, then they're the ruling class is how it is. Right. And everybody, like every civilization, including ours, has had one. Don't pretend like we haven't. Right. So what's to stop them?

[Dan Holloway]

But that means you're part of the ruined class.

[DJ Cruise]

I am. Yeah. But what's to stop us? I guess if we want to code it that way from disenfranchising them forever. We could vote if. If that's how it works, they have.

[Dan Holloway]

The freedom to remove themselves from that class. By getting a job and paying taxes.

[DJ Cruise]

Sure. But what if I. What if I do something like.

[Dan Holloway]

Shouldn't a vote be valuable? Valuable enough to where you don't just vote for the person that the media tells you.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. I mean, there should be some. There should be consequences.

[Dan Holloway]

Do you think that our vote is that valuable now?

[DJ Cruise]

No, people.

[Dan Holloway]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

I think our vote's. But that's not the point I'm making. The point I'm making is. Let's say.

[Dan Holloway]

I understand.

[DJ Cruise]

Let's say the ruling class decides we're gonna require work permits for everything. And you. Now we're running a lottery because we don't want all these people to be involved in our work anymore. Right. So now we're issuing people work permits. We're deciding who gets to succeed and who doesn't. Now we're just the government again. You know what I mean?

[Dan Holloway]

I do, I do. But I also believe that we should allow those people to go get jobs. I mean, I. I see it as intrinsic motivation to have a say in what's going on. Yeah, right.

[DJ Cruise]

It's like Starship Troopers. Right?

[Andy Vercella]

Right.

[Dan Holloway]

You serve the army, you become a citizen, you get voting rights. And I don't, I don't think we.

[DJ Cruise]

Should do it with the army.

[Dan Holloway]

No, No, I don't. I don't want that concept. There should be some value created with. My point is this. I understand your point, but my point, and, and by the way, in real life, that's what always happens, what you're saying.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, but that's why I say it.

[Dan Holloway]

I understand.

[DJ Cruise]

That's where it ends.

[Dan Holloway]

Because, dude, once power, you know, what is it?

[Andy Vercella]

Absolute power.

[Dan Holloway]

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And that's just human nature. Yeah, but we are in such a situation now to where there are so many people that don't contribute that have a say that they're actually voting us into a socialist slash communist.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Situation. That's right. To where the producers are going to say it. Which then what ends up happening is the government runs everything.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, but it's already happened. Right. Because the producers outsourced. They went to India and China and wherever else for that.

[Andy Vercella]

I don't think in the sense of this, we're like. I mean.

[Dan Holloway]

No, no, no, hold on. I know. Agree. There should be some changes to the international trade so that that doesn't happen like it has. And I think Trump is doing that. Yeah, but there is what people don't understand and what they have a hard time grasping, honestly, because most people never run a business.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Is that there's going to be a time between when the tariffs go in and the taxes come down to where it's a difficult economic time.

[DJ Cruise]

It'll be a recession.

[Dan Holloway]

That's correct. There's going to be a difficult time before the better time. And that's the problem.

[DJ Cruise]

But that happens in every business too. Like you launch a new product and then you buy, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

You make cuts. You cut out 40% of your workers because there's a. Dude, it takes a year to get recalibrated to run on a, on a less. A lesser team.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. The problem with government is, and there's always this duality. No matter what the system of government happens to be, there's going to be authoritarianism to some degree. Like if you don't think that America is. But there should be to some degree.

[Dan Holloway]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

There has to be. Like people need leadership. Right? Yeah. So you have to choose between. And this is, this is where it gets super up. Because some of it is just principled philosophy and then some of it is practical. But principled philosophy isn't always practical in execution. It's a problem. Right. So you either have, like, it's, it's more difficult to corrupt a group of people than it is to corrupt one man for sure. Right?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Takes more time and effort. But it's also more difficult to defeat a group of people than it is to defeat one man. And we believe in decentralization here. Federalism. We believe in the 9th and 10th Amendments, which means if it's not specifically written in this Constitution, the federal government doesn't even have a right to opine on it. It's none of your fucking business what I'm doing if it's not written in that document that we all made. Yeah. So, you know, when I go back to it, I'm, I'm talking about how to correct it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I think about.

[Dan Holloway]

I think that, I think I agree with. I do. I think the Constitution is a perfect document legitimately. And I think it is literal. I think when they say, you know, we have the right to bear arms, the, the, the whole, you know, the whole argument there isn't for automatic weapons, bro. It's for everything they have so that we can. That's right.

[Andy Vercella]

Well regulated.

[Dan Holloway]

But dude, what I'm saying is there has to be a correction, correction period to get us back to that. Because if, if you try to do this through the corrupt system, it could. At best, it's going to take decades. At worst, it'll never happen because of the Bureaucracy that's infected our system.

[DJ Cruise]

Tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is a naturally occurring manure.

[Dan Holloway]

I think we are close.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. That's what Jefferson said. So. Yeah, I mean, that's probably part of it, to be honest. And when I think of it, like, in terms of recourse, because that's what. But when. When I. I want to be really clear about this, people get. This is one of the most misunderstood things in all of American history. The founders of this country, the Continental Congress, they weren't writing to. To England about becoming a free nation. They were writing for redress. They were writing their taxation without representation. That's where the phrase came from. Right. They were saying, hey, we're citizens of the British Crown. We expect to be treated as such, and we're not. So you. We're gonna leave. That's what really happened.

[Dan Holloway]

Right?

[DJ Cruise]

They didn't say no kings. Yeah, that wasn't part of it. They didn't like the. The founders when. When John Adams. So the Boston Massacre happens, right? These troops, spurred on by the sons of Liberty, trying to rabble ralls because they hated the British. They shot some people, somebody died. The whole group went to trial. John Adams, our second president, defended them in court and got them exonerated in court, in American court. And he referred to himself as a British citizen in the documents that he wrote back to him, because that's what he was, and that's how he saw himself. And then the crown decided to bring all tribunals back to London.

[Dan Holloway]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

Even even though they had adjudicated it fairly, they still brought him back. And that was the final straw for him. It was like, well, you.

[Dan Holloway]

Now, they did that so that because the. The colonies were so small, if the American court would have convicted those dudes, their families would have been killed.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah. But no, they. They. So they were exonerated. Right. In the American courts. John Adams proved that the United States could function on its own. I think that was a threat to them, which is why they tried to bring it back. But this whole process, like if you read about. If you. If you read the preamble to the Constitution, it's like when a. When a government, like the government has a job and when it becomes. I can't remember the exact phrase, but when it stops functioning in that way, then it's the. Not just the right, but the duty of people to throw that government off.

[Dan Holloway]

Start of duty.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. So it's like when I. When I think of it like that people think in America that we're just against kings. And as a soldier, I would feel a lot better fighting for a king that fought alongside me, like King Abdullah and Jordan, than I would any of these gaylords in Congress, dude. You know what I mean, dude, I.

[Dan Holloway]

Mean, that's another rule. Like, bro, if you vote for a war, you. You better go the over there.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, you know, so Jared's got a theory on that. He's. He says that if you're in Congress, either house or the president, and you vote for sign a war or deploy people, you have to send two of your family members.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, I think that's fair. We have completely different geopolitical situation.

[Andy Vercella]

Be no wars.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, you shouldn't be deploying people.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, I think we can both agree on this.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I mean, fuck tyrants. Yeah, I mean, I don't like. Tyrants are the problem. It's not the system of government specifically. Obviously capitalism works better than any other system.

[Dan Holloway]

Government, our government. Dude, listen here. People like, you know this already. So I'm, I mean, we talk about this all the time. It's not that our system is broken. It's that the way they're running it doesn't reflect the system that was set up at all. And we're told it does. We're told we have freedom. We do not have freedom. We are, we are paraded around as a free country when in reality we're one of the most financially oppressed countries in the world by our own government. Unless you don't have a job and you get all your for free. Right? So, I mean, dude, the, the constitution and everything, the way these guys set it up is perfect, legitimately perfect. And to be completely honest, I'm in awe of how smart they were in terms of anticipating the challenges that we would have. And what they didn't account for was technology and the Internet and all of these things to subvert what the foundational rules were to mean. And so, bro, I believe in the con. You know, I do. I believe in the Constitution.

[Andy Vercella]

Like literally.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes, literally. But we're so far off from that is the problem.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I mean, we've got a course correct somehow. And I, I think, you know, we. We also have to end some of these delusions that we have one, that we're a democracy. We're not. Right. There's only been. There's only been one direct democracy in the history of the world. And it was in Greece and Athens and they shut it off after two years because it was Nuts.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, yeah, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Look, look, people that invented democracy said, no, we can't do that.

[Dan Holloway]

But people don't understand why that is. Look, if you've ever led anybody in your life in any situation, you understand the need for leadership. Because if there is none and there isn't someone who can lead and say, do this. We have to do this, these people will all stand there and argue about whose idea is right and who's the best and could I get credit for this? And I said this, and I think we should do it this way. You know what ends up happening? Nothing. Okay? So anybody that's ever run a company understands that. Anybody who's ever been a leader in the military understands that. Dude, if there's no leader, dude, the guys get killed. Yeah, okay? And. And dude, so we have to understand that some people need to have say that is more powerful than a group think, you know what I mean? And. And people don't like that. When they hear that, they think, well, Hitler, that's where they automatically go. And it's like, dude, you know, some of the most prosperous countries in the history of the world were led by one person, right? And I don't know, bro. Like, I don't know the solution, but to get people to understand that, we need a leader, like a legit leader that's going to say this, that this is very hard because everybody wants to have a say. And you know who wants to have the most say? The that don't pay in people doing the least, man.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, man. Guys jumping on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think. With that being said, let's keep this cruise moving. We'll go right into headline too. This is an interesting one. So Trump deported 238 Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador. Yeah. Now this was. Picked up some heat. So. So he. He flew to a plane full of these guys. He flew him over to El Salvador. We have a great relationship with the President of El Salvador, Naib Kaylee. He tweeted this out. He says, Today the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization Trende Arangua arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to csot, which is the Terrorism Confinement center, for a period of one year, which is renewable, he says, in parentheses, United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us. Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self sustainable. As of Today, it costs $200 million per year. On this occasion, the US has also sent us 23 Ms. 13 members wanted by Salvadorian justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization's highest structure. This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS.13, including its former and new members. Money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators and sponsors. He finishes off saying, may God bless El Salvador. May God bless the United States of America. Now there's a little video. It's three minutes long. We'll play just a little bit here for you. But the video is awesome. This is them as they were getting taken off of the the airplane and being transferred to seaside. Check this out, bro. That don't look fun. I mean, they're just dragging them in the back of these. Listen, I'm cool with it. I'm.

[Dan Holloway]

What do you mean cool with it?

[Andy Vercella]

I'm cool.

[Dan Holloway]

There has to be fear of repercussions for people to not do bad, bro.

[Andy Vercella]

Even the biggest, baddest fucking. You know who you would think would be the biggest bro? They cry, Crumble.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, crumble now.

[Andy Vercella]

They crumble now. But here's the thing on this. So you know, the plane gets there, landed, and apparently a federal judge who's an Obama appointed judge, he orders the deportation flights carrying the alleged Venezuelan gang bangers to return to United States. And he blocks Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies act, which is what Trump used to get them over there. But naive, being a great troll that he is, tweeted this out in response saying, oopsie, too late. We ain't bringing them back, bro. They're there.

[Dan Holloway]

That's the President. That's the President. That's funny.

[Andy Vercella]

The President of El Salvador put that out. Oopsie, too late.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, to be fair, just a couple, couple things here. One, Trump doesn't need to use the Alien act of 1798 for this. There's USC 1227 and USC 1182, both are very clear. One says that if you're here and you're not a citizen, that is including green card holders, right? But visa holders and green card holders. And it definitely applies to illegals that if you endorse, if you support endorse even immaterially, which means you don't have to give them money or anything, all you have to say is like, I like Hamas gone Sia. It's pretty clear. I mean it says it right there in black and white. A federal judge has no jurisdiction to look into law. That's been Passed. And by the way, Jordan versus the George, 1951 Clanitz versus Mandel, 1972 INS versus Saint Cyr 2001 Leical versus Ashcroft, 2004 Sessions versus Demea, 2018. The Trump versus Hawaii, 2018. I mean this statue, these two statutes, 1227, 1182, USC have been tried and retried in the Supreme Court for 100 years. Fuck you. Like they absolutely should ignore everything any of these judges say. You don't have any. You don't have jurisdiction to tell the President how to execute on the book laws and the executive branch. I'm sorry, this is not how our government works.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, Tom Holman would agree with you because he does out the radical judge for defying logic which with ruling to stall Trump deportation says he said, quote, who in their right mind, whether you're a judge or not, wants to allow tda? That's Trenda Irango, a recognized terrorist organization sent here by the Maduro regime to create havoc to unsettle the United States through the use of fentanyl to kill thousands of Americans. Violence to American citizens, raping and murdering young women in this country home and X Fox and friends. He says President Trump is going to make this country safe again. He's going to do it one illegal alien at a time. Now you got pushed because like I said, they're using the Illegal Enemies act to do this, which is, I mean it's over 100 years old.

[DJ Cruise]

Cool, so it's 200 years old. I don't give a shit how old it is.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, it does. Well, neither does Tom Holman because he had this to say when the reporter tried him.

[Dan Holloway]

You say to those who claim you're.

[DJ Cruise]

Using a 200 year old law to circumvent due process.

[Dan Holloway]

An old law.

[Andy Vercella]

Not as old as Constitution. We still pay attention to that, don't we, dude? It's great, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

I do like that guy, dude.

[Andy Vercella]

I like him, man. I like him a lot.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, Tom's a good dude.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, but do you know him?

[DJ Cruise]

We've, we've spoken a time or two.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, bro, he's awesome. I love him too.

[Andy Vercella]

I like him a lot.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, he doesn't give a. I feel.

[Andy Vercella]

Like, I feel like he has some dark humor in there. Like if you got him in the.

[DJ Cruise]

Room, bro, I mean he was a cop forever.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, he has that cop vibe.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, bro. Speaking of cops, did you hear that, did you hear that law they're trying to do, Missouri where if you send, if a police officer sends their kids to school, they get to go for free.

[Andy Vercella]

No, I hear that.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. It's.

[Andy Vercella]

It's.

[Dan Holloway]

I got.

[DJ Cruise]

You mean, like, to university and.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, I just.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's. So they do. Texas does that for anybody that's got a Purple Heart.

[Dan Holloway]

I thought it was awesome.

[DJ Cruise]

Or 100 disability rating. There's a lot of states that do that, actually.

[Dan Holloway]

So it's called Senate Bill 71 here in Missouri. And basically what it does is it gives first responders free college for their kids, which I think is amazing in.

[Andy Vercella]

The state of Missouri. Yes.

[Dan Holloway]

And I think that's something, you know, when. When you guys go to vote or call your. Your state senators and make sure that they pass this shit, bro. Because these people are out in the streets fucking dealing with the worst shit ever all day long. And, dude, in my opinion, they get paid three or four times less than what they should be paid, especially with the amount of money these fuckers have been stealing through USAID and all this. We could. Dude, it's so frustrating because we could pay these people so much more. They'd be so much more comfortable because this is a difficult job to do. The least we could do is allow them to send their kids to be educated for fucking free.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, I mean, the average cop qualifies with their service weapon two times a year with 50 rounds. Right? That's unacceptable.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. Nice.

[DJ Cruise]

In a country this large, we need to have a legitimate professional police force. Now we don't. It's not for a lot lack of effort on their part. They just don't have the time. Like you spent. You spend eight hours a day on patrol, maybe 10, depending on what. What jurisdiction you're in, another two or three hours doing paperwork. Yeah, I'm sorry, you're not going to the range after that.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. And if you're dead, listen, the job needs to be restructured to where these guys get paid properly, they have the proper benefits. And then what would happen is we would remove ourselves from the element of bag cops because the job would become a very valued asset. Again, we would have children saying, I want to be a cop. Yeah, I want to be a police. That's. Dude, when I grew up, that's how it was.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

You know, and. And, dude, with the amount of money that's wasted here, it's easily fixed.

[DJ Cruise]

Yes, easily.

[Dan Holloway]

Easy fix.

[DJ Cruise]

And there's also so many downstream benefits. I mean, anybody that work. This is. I don't want to get too in the weeds on it, but anybody that understands economic theory, like, you just think about Locke in general, John Locke. In general. Right. This idea that the ultimate right is the property. Right. And the ultimate property is yourself. Right. And you are entitled to defend it however you want. Right. And we've chosen as a society to hire a professional police force to help us with that task. Now, there's value to that outside of just safety. Like you can also look at Maslow's hierarchy of need. Safety's right there. It's number one. But you can also look at. Downstream from property rights is security. Right? Security. So in a number of different ways, not just physical security. If you're an investor or you're a person, let's take it back to the pioneer days. If you're going to go somewhere and discover something and build a house and then maybe build a city there, you need to know that your asset's going to be protected. That means the government's gonna not going to allow somebody to come in and just steal your. Because otherwise what's the point? You know what I mean? What's the point of working 9 to 5? What's the point of working 12 hours a day if somebody could just come steal your.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, then we're so Maya.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, exactly. So part one, one of the functions of government is to stop that from happening. That's the. One of the whole purposes of it. So yeah, I hate the government, but there's a function there. Like I want you to do what you're supposed to do and do it well, nothing out of everything else. Right? So this. This dude I'm familiar with, Jared Isaac, Man, I don't know if you've heard of him or not. He ran. He's. He's the only privateer to ever go to space. He likes, like went to space on his own dime, basically. Right. It's wild. But. And before that he was doing consult, like Red Cell consulting for the Air Force. He learned how to fly MiG jets and then built this company where they're testing Air Force pilots on their ability to dog fight. And like he's a private citizen, just did this. He came from the same thing that Elon did from payment processing and like that. And he's just like, you know what? This seems like something to do now he's been nominated to be the NASA administrator. And I know you're a flat Earther, but.

[Dan Holloway]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, there is.

[Dan Holloway]

Are you?

[DJ Cruise]

No. No.

[Dan Holloway]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

Kyrie Irving is though. That's why his knee got up. But because too flat. Yeah. No, but of all the government that we're doing, one of the biggest returns on our investment.

[Dan Holloway]

I can't believe you call me a flat Earther, bro. I'm offended.

[Andy Vercella]

I don't feel like there's anything to take offense to.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, yeah, because you're.

[Andy Vercella]

I'm a flat earther?

[DJ Cruise]

No. Well, it's.

[Andy Vercella]

I'm not like full fledged.

[DJ Cruise]

It's a black thing, I guess now maybe. Yeah, maybe.

[Andy Vercella]

I mean, listen, I'm not like all the way there, but like, you know, prove. I mean, I've seen ice shelf theory.

[Dan Holloway]

Is more likely than flat earth.

[Andy Vercella]

I believe in both of them.

[DJ Cruise]

I would.

[Dan Holloway]

Can't. They're different things.

[Andy Vercella]

Said who?

[Dan Holloway]

All right, anyway, so we're going to have an intelligent conversation.

[DJ Cruise]

So now of all the. Of all the things that we've spent money on collectively as a government, NASA's probably been the one that has the biggest return on investment, right? Like every piece of technology.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, I mean that movie they made about landing on the moon. High budget, bro.

[Andy Vercella]

High reward.

[DJ Cruise]

But, but everything that you're using right now to do what we're doing right now was made as a result of that organization, NASA, right? Like literally everything these.

[Dan Holloway]

Where'd that technology come from?

[DJ Cruise]

The way these mics were, who knows. But they're the ones that got it. It the phones that we're using, the computers that we're using, all this stuff the Internet developed as a result of NASA as well. And gps, everything you use on a daily basis. It's one of the only organizations that has primarily been a federal organization that actually benefits people in a real meaningful way. And it doesn't just people over. NASA's never anybody over. Maybe tricked a couple of people, just lied a couple of times, but it's the only organization that actually functions.

[Dan Holloway]

They never fucked anybody over once they were became NASA. Is what you're saying, correct?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, and it's to me it's wild, man. We just defunded it a while back, but this is how we beat other people the next. So there's two there? Well, there's three main races going on. We're not in an arms race anymore. We're in an AI race. We got to beat China and AI. We have to beat them in energy. Not clean energy, energy. The more energy you reproduce, the better society is, period. There's a direct line between those things. And the third one is space. All these fancy satellites we have that defend us and give us information and don't mean a goddamn thing if somebody could just shoot it down, right? That's the next frontier. Now we may be talking about 25, 50 years from now, but just like every other organization, whether it be government or an agency within it or a business, you need strong leadership. Right. And some of these, I'm. I. It's been hit or miss with some of these picks for departments, in my opinion. Pam, Bonnie sucks.

[Dan Holloway]

Terrible.

[DJ Cruise]

Agreed. We'll see. On Cash. I think he does. I think he'll do fine. But under her, like, they gotta get rid of her.

[Dan Holloway]

You're gonna see a war between those two.

[DJ Cruise]

It's. Something's gonna happen, I think. Yeah, I think. And I think she's gonna end up getting replaced by Bailey or something.

[Dan Holloway]

I think so too. It should have been Bailey to start with.

[DJ Cruise]

It definitely should have been Bailey. Yeah. But Isaac Ben is that dude, man. He's a entrepreneur that's ran multiple businesses, made himself a billionaire just by being smart. And he's like, you know what? I'm gonna. This America used to be great. And part of it was going to space and developing technology and. And satellites and protecting our right. And figuring out how to do stuff. And I'm gonna go do it again. Yeah, right. That's the kind of guy you want. Elon is the kind of guy you want. And whether you agree with him on everything or not, and I, I disagree with him sometimes. That's the kind of guy you want. Looking for inefficiency because he's done it and then sold companies for over and over and over.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, well, dude, this is the other thing. Thing. People don't know how companies are valued. And if your company is heavily inefficient, you're going to get a much lesser valuation. This is the reason that they come in and audit everything that you do before they buy. They say, what the. Where, where that 5 cents. Why? Why? What's that? Like the amount of depth they go into is insurance.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. So it's like think about yourself from a cpg, let's say. Yeah. This can right here is two separate parts, not including the print. So it's three things that happen with this can. You have the can itself, you have the lid, which is separate, and then you have the print on the outside of it. If you're locked into a five year contract, that's a shitty contract on one of those items. And somebody tries to come buy your company, like, yeah, I'm gonna, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to give you a hundred million dollars less because you made a stupid mistake. Right?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

People don't understand.

[DJ Cruise]

They don't understand it. But like somebody like Elon does. So when he's Combing through this stuff and finding stuff and cutting it out, like, great. I mean, we still need Congress to actually make it permanent, which TBD on that. But that won't be his fault if it doesn't happen. He's doing the right thing. I, I, People are worried about an oligarchy, but when we put billionaires in charge of stuff. Why do you think that motherfucker's a billionaire?

[Andy Vercella]

Well, not only that.

[Dan Holloway]

Oh, because he's got lucky.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, he got lucky four different times.

[Andy Vercella]

We're cool. We're cool with them if there are billionaires.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, that's.

[Andy Vercella]

George Soros can do it.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, that's certainly, certainly, certainly. But they never tried to put source directly in charge. But here's the other issue. They still run a version of an oligarchy. It's just an oligarchy of incompetence.

[Dan Holloway]

That's correct.

[DJ Cruise]

It's like, well, we want, we just need this group to be in charge for the next 40 years. But what the fuck have you ever done except for being government? You've done nothing. Joe Biden never had a real job in his life. He was 29 years old when he entered Congress, and he never had a real job after that at once.

[Dan Holloway]

Listen, not a single fucking one of those people could run a one fucking week in one of my retail stores. They couldn't do it. They could not do it, bro. They could. They could not do it.

[DJ Cruise]

It'd be a fun test.

[Dan Holloway]

It'd be hilarious. Because they wouldn't get it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. You know, maybe that should be part of.

[Andy Vercella]

You should put a challenge out, like you challenge any of them. And if they can, then you'll vote for them.

[Dan Holloway]

No, if they can, I'll award them a franchise.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, that's pretty, yeah, that's pretty nice.

[Dan Holloway]

For free. Yeah, on my dollar. I'll build it out. I'll put the whole, you know, the whole thing.

[Andy Vercella]

All right, aoc, Come on.

[Dan Holloway]

They can't do it. Obama can't do it.

[Andy Vercella]

Obama can do it.

[Dan Holloway]

No, they can't do it. They, it's because of what Dan said earlier. They're used to operating with unlimited resources, and that's not the way the fucking effective organizations are. You have to operate within budget. Trump knows this. It's a lot of, this is a lot of the reason, this is the main reason. They all fucking hate him because he won't allow them. Well, he did allow them, but he's working to not allow them to just fleece American citizens to make themselves rich, you know, with The. I mean, look, dude, that's why the tax argument is such. They. They print all the money they need.

[Andy Vercella]

Anyway, bro, they just found, like, the tax.

[Dan Holloway]

Dude, taxes are not met. Now, like, the way taxes are presently are not meant to fund anything in the government. They are meant to financially create hardship for the American citizens to make them easier to control.

[Andy Vercella]

Bro, did you see Elon Musk just came out today, I think, talking about it, that they found. Doge has found 14. He calls them magic money computers that are strategically placed around the government. Like, there's a few in the Department of Treasury, there's a few in the dod, few in the State Department, hhs. And it's these computers and they literally, like, they're cutting checks, whatever they need them to do.

[DJ Cruise]

They create money out of thin air just by moving decimal knots away and shit out of nothing. Cool. That's not real. That's. That's always the danger in a fiat currency.

[Dan Holloway]

Obviously, bro, that serves them too.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Because if they print more money than these people have, less no matter what.

[Andy Vercella]

They have, like, it may not be real, but the effects are real.

[Dan Holloway]

The monetary system in the United States is imp. It's impossible, virtually virtually impossible for someone to come out ahead of it. It's just that bad. Unless you're out. Unless you are making an extraordinary amount of money. Okay. And it has to be extraordinary. You can't come out ahead because even at the end, they take 60% of it.

[DJ Cruise]

So take. Yeah, about 60.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Most people. Yeah. I've got a radical idea. I think we should. Let's use our debt the right way. Right. So here's how I would do it. I would run a debt for fiscal year 20, 25, and then that's what I would tax the following year. No more. You're not allowed to spend more money. And then the next year, so on and so forth. Then people would start paying attention to who they're voting for in November because that fiscal year ends in September. Taxes are due in October. Right. And then the votes in November, and then we'll see who fucking votes for whom.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, that'd be interesting, man. Well, last little piece. I want to bring this up, too, because there's something else going on at the White House. You got Conor McGregor's in there.

[DJ Cruise]

I saw that.

[Andy Vercella]

He's chilling with Trump.

[DJ Cruise]

He's not beating up old dudes in bars in Ireland anymore.

[Andy Vercella]

He looks thick, man.

[Dan Holloway]

Dude, I was just talking about that this morning. Morning.

[Andy Vercella]

Like when he punched the guy.

[Dan Holloway]

He punched that old man in the Face.

[DJ Cruise]

I didn't go down either. It was 80 for ref.

[Dan Holloway]

No, he didn't even flinch, bro. Conor McGregor punched this old man in the face who refused a shot of proper 12. I guess like he was disrespected and he punched this dude in the face. He didn't even move. He just kept drinking.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, to be fair, that 80 year old's probably been sitting on that bar stool for 70 of those 80 years.

[Dan Holloway]

That's right.

[Andy Vercella]

He couldn't move. He was glued to it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Ireland, dude, Irish people are scrappy, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

They don't around.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, he's there and.

[DJ Cruise]

They'Re gonna have to be because they're getting.

[Andy Vercella]

Oh, bro. Well, that's what he was there calling out. I mean, and he. He's calling it all out saying zero accountability. I didn't know he was. He's 36. I didn't know he was that young. I mean, he looks like it looks a little older than 36, but might be the proper. Proper 12.

[Dan Holloway]

No, it's probably the, you know, living on a yacht, partying all the time.

[Andy Vercella]

Who knows what drugs, some Peru, Peruvian baby powder.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, he's. Listen, motherfucker's been having a good time.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, man. But yeah, he got in there, man, and, you know, he's been challenging some stuff. We had a little. Nice little interchange exchange at the. In the press briefing room.

[Dan Holloway]

David August suit he's wearing, it's clean, man.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, I thought he would have did the. The you pinstripe, but I guess, you know, that's green.

[Dan Holloway]

Looks better. Patrick's day.

[Andy Vercella]

It is St. Patrick's Day. Looks better than Zelink. Zelensky does, though, so that's good. Yeah. Do you think he's. I mean, dude, he's talking about, like taking over Ireland, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

Play the clip. What is going on in Ireland is a travesty. Our government is the government of zero action with zero accountability. You know, our money is being spent on overseas issues. That has nothing to do with the Irish people.

[DJ Cruise]

He's very nervous.

[Dan Holloway]

The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country. There are rural towns in Ireland that have overrun in one swoop, that have become a minority in one swoop. So issues need to be addressed and the 40 million Irish Americans, as I said, need to hear this because if not, there will be no place to come home and visit. He's. You get to feel his breathing. He's very. He's trying to say more. Yeah, bro, he's up there trying to Say more. He has a lot to say.

[Andy Vercella]

Kill them all.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, that's right.

[DJ Cruise]

He's definitely a little nervous, anxiety, anxious. He. Public speaking is not easy to be honest and. But he's right about everything he's saying. By the way, if you saw Martyr made on Joe Rogan and whether you agree with everything he says or not, what he. One of the things he said was that Ireland's on course to be minority Irish by. In 2070.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, that's not okay, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

In like 45 years.

[Dan Holloway]

It's not okay.

[DJ Cruise]

No, of course it's not okay. Why would you like that. That whole thing. And then Rogan went on to talk about it more as well. But nobody gives China any grief for wanting to stay Chinese. And why would they? It's China. That's right. Right there in the goddamn name. You know what I mean? Ireland's been there for a minute.

[Dan Holloway]

I said that in a clip that was posted around. And everybody in the fucking comments was like, what he's really saying is that America's just for white people. It's like, dude, shut the up.

[DJ Cruise]

No, we did something different here. We did.

[Dan Holloway]

That's right.

[DJ Cruise]

Individual liberty here. That's our. That's our race.

[Dan Holloway]

Individual liberty with an accepted, universal culture.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Yeah. That's our race. Our race isn't. It just happens to not be ethnic anymore. But we still have a cultural. Racial culture here.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

It's identity, for sure.

[DJ Cruise]

Act like. Like you. You talk. It doesn't matter what.

[Andy Vercella]

But every other country sees us that way. You know what I'm saying? They all see us as, you know, fat, lazy Americans.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

We're the only ones that like to divide ourselves.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

It's stupid.

[Dan Holloway]

We'll still whip your ass, so.

[Andy Vercella]

Oh, for real.

[Dan Holloway]

No doubt we'd be that we're to have big fat cousin sit on the couch and get up and knock you the out.

[DJ Cruise]

Everybody talks a lot until it's time to do some.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah, that's right.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Come take our.

[Dan Holloway]

Where the a. Where's their. Y'all a bunch of.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Calling us what we are. Y'all call us when you need.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, it's like Michael Jordan. It's like. Yeah. People say I was brutal. It's because they have never won anything. You know what I mean?

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, I don't. I don't. Don't. Don't take any criticism from anybody you wouldn't take advice from.

[Dan Holloway]

That's a good standard, dude. You know as well as I do, you've been enough in enough business that have Done very well to understand what it takes to win. It is not for everyone. The biggest lie in society right now is that, oh, everyone can start a business. And every. Yeah, everyone can start a business. Not everybody can win at it.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, 80 of businesses fail in the first.

[Dan Holloway]

I could shoot free throws. That doesn't mean I'm gonna be good at it anyway.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, no dunking.

[Dan Holloway]

I'm with Connor, bro. Let's go. Let's go clean it up for him. No dunking. For sure.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. No. You caught that.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

All right, guys, jumping on this guy.

[Dan Holloway]

No ducking and. And hot dogs and unseasoned chicken when I get done. Right. With some corn water.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, that's it. Oh, that's nasty, man. Well, guys, jumping on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. We got one final segment of headlines here for you. We got a headline number three. Let's.

[Dan Holloway]

Let's.

[Andy Vercella]

Let's talk about some race relations. I think this is a good time to do it.

[Dan Holloway]

Oh, fun.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. I mean, listen, favorite. I mean, just American culture where we are, I think a nice little check in temperature check. Headline number three reads, woman pleads guilty in cross burning hoax during Colorado Springs mayoral campaign. Have you guys seen this? I can't remember if we covered this. I don't think we covered it, but it came out originally. This was back in like, 23. It came out originally that, you know, this black mayoral candidate, this guy right here, okay, he was running for mayor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and one of his campaign signs was defaced with a burning cross and some not too kind words.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. And who would have done such a thing?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, I mean, got to be a racist person, of course. Got to be a piece of shit person. White people, you know, I'm saying it's got to be bad. He was running against a white person. And yeah. Now it comes out that a woman who was part of a group charged with setting a cross on fire in front of a defaced campaign sign for candidate who became. He actually became and won the race because of this.

[DJ Cruise]

All right, this is Juicy Smollett.

[Andy Vercella]

Because nobody wanted to be racist, right? Like, you know, but yeah, she pleaded guilty on Tuesday. And what authority says was a hoax. Diana west, one of three people indicted in the 2023 incident, pleaded guilty in Denver federal court court to one count of being part of a conspiracy to set the fire and then spread false information about it in the run up to the election of Mayor Yemi Mubalade.

[DJ Cruise]

What?

[Andy Vercella]

Moba Mobilade. That's what.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Sweet. Oh, there we go. What's the. What are those pens?

[Andy Vercella]

It has an Air Force pin on.

[DJ Cruise]

Yep.

[Andy Vercella]

I believe he's an immigrant or naturalized system.

[DJ Cruise]

What's that flower?

[Andy Vercella]

What is that gay? Maybe?

[Dan Holloway]

I think that's just a. I think this is for the suit.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, like a little.

[Dan Holloway]

That's like a little.

[Andy Vercella]

That's a tail thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this guy.

[DJ Cruise]

So. Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

So in exchange, prosecutors said that they would drop an additional charge related to actually setting the fire. So prosecutors say that after staging the cross burning, a photo and video of it were sent to media and civic organizations, making it seem like an attack on Mubilade. Now, again, who are these people? Right? Because there's names. You got Diana West. You got another guy. Derek Bernard Jr. Okay, sounds reasonable. But here's the thing, man.

[Dan Holloway]

They were all bipox or see a girl.

[Andy Vercella]

Here's one. This is Ashley Hernandez.

[DJ Cruise]

What happened to her fucking face?

[Dan Holloway]

She probably got got, you know, beat by the white supremacist.

[DJ Cruise]

It looks like she had a stroke.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, she got like a little poker.

[Dan Holloway]

It looks like she has a 60 IQ.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, well, I mean, that's for sure.

[DJ Cruise]

Definitely double digits.

[Andy Vercella]

That's for sure.

[Dan Holloway]

Okay, so a black man and a Hispanic. Hispanic woman set across on fire, blame on white people.

[Andy Vercella]

Correct.

[Dan Holloway]

Now, how is that not a hate crime, Right. Versus white people?

[Andy Vercella]

It should be. And that's actually the funny thing is, Andy, people have been calling for, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, listen, listen. Standing up for your own race is not racism.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

It's when you start to press on other races, which is racism.

[Andy Vercella]

Right.

[Dan Holloway]

And a lot of people who happen to be white do not understand that you have every right and should stand up when things are against you. That's not saying you should be against anybody else, but that's saying, hey, I have a problem with that. That's not okay. And we don't do that. That at all. All right? We've been bullied and beat and punished into accepting any discrimination that we have against ourselves as well. You know, we are white, so it is what it is. And you know, it's interesting because I openly say all the time that white people have the right to stand up for themselves and should. To balance out reality, because right now, white people are the only people that are allowed to be openly, I guess, persecuted out of any of the races legally. Okay. Up until recently.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

All right, so. And that's been my whole life. That's also been your whole life, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And just until recently, with the affirmative Action changes and things like that. Have things started to change? Well, I was thinking about this as someone who, you know, I live in Missouri, I'm a white dude, I'm pretty vocal. I kind of stand up for what I think is right. I mean, if anybody were be invited to, you know, clan meetings or white supremacy meetings, you would think I would have got an invite.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, right.

[Dan Holloway]

You know what I'm saying?

[Andy Vercella]

You didn't get an invite.

[Dan Holloway]

But weirdly enough, I've never ever seen one of these people. I've never seen. And you know why? Because it's not a real problem the way that it's presented to me.

[DJ Cruise]

It's nonsense.

[Dan Holloway]

It's a scary boogeyman that lives under the bed or in the closet that they scare the out of everybody with.

[DJ Cruise]

Now it's just like the Italian mafia at the. At its height, there were 5,500 total members.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

You would think it'd be a million off. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

5,500 people. Just let them do what they want.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Well, they actually did a lot of good for society. They took. They took these people who do this and handled it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. You know what's really funny about this whole story? You know who Wilford Riley is? An author. He is a. He's a history professor, I think American history professor at an hbcu, an historically black college.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And he wrote a book, I think it was in 2019, called hate crime Hoax. And it was after that juicy Smollett, that and his research found that.

[Andy Vercella]

Oh yeah, he got destroyed.

[DJ Cruise]

Of the 300. Of the 346 total hate crimes reported during the Trump administration, one in three were fake.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

Including LeBron James, by the way. If you think somebody went up into Brentwood and started tagging up houses with the N word and didn't get caught on a camera somewhere. Get the out of here.

[Andy Vercella]

We've had it happen here a bunch of times. Like we've had.

[Dan Holloway]

We've had had situations here in the St. Louis greater area where, you know, people go into the stall and someone scrawled the N word or some. They shut down the school. Come to find out. Come to find out.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

It was a black student.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Right. And that's happened over and over and over again. And at some point, people should be genuinely harshly punished for that because of the division that it creates in society. I don't want to be invited to white supremacy. I don't want like, bro, to me, if you're cool, you're cool. If you're not, you're not. And that's. That. That's. In my opinion and in my mentality, that's what America's supposed to be.

[DJ Cruise]

I think we got to start talking more to each other again.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, you're starting to see a lot more black comedians on social media making fun of dumb black. Yeah. Which is super nice, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Comedy is the bridge, bro. Comedy is the bridge to pressure.

[Andy Vercella]

It's the only way you can deliver truth.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

Comedy is the pressure relief valve.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

You and I are in some heated argument and then some walks by, we're like, that guy's idiot. And then you and I are friends again.

[Dan Holloway]

All. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, that's just how it works, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

It's. Listen, dude. And I think most people agree with that. I think most. Like the. I think the massive majority of people agree with it, which is why these situations are so, so harmful to culture. You got Don Limone.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

On tv arguing with. What's his face.

[DJ Cruise]

Bill Maher.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. Saying Bill Maher says, well, clearly there's. There's, you know, there's some racists in every area. And he goes. Don Lamone goes, well, you know, maga's racist. And he goes, well, there's probably racist people in maga. And he goes, no, I'm saying most of MAGA is racist. And it's like, bro, people like that are the reason that we can't all fucking just get along, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

And, well, he went on to say, if somebody said that they were black and maga, I wouldn't believe him. Which is just paraphrasing Joe Biden saying, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, bro, he just.

[DJ Cruise]

He just paraphrased.

[Dan Holloway]

How is that not racist?

[Andy Vercella]

No, it is.

[Dan Holloway]

I know that. I get that.

[Andy Vercella]

But it's like.

[Dan Holloway]

But we have to start calling out racism again against all races.

[Andy Vercella]

Right? Well, that's the thing. The problem is, it's like, you know, the power.

[Dan Holloway]

How can. How come it's okay for anybody to. Dude, you could say any thing you want about white people and nobody will say a thing.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, well, I mean, here's a good thought experiment. So this. February is Black History Month, and March is now Irish History Month in America, right? If. If DJ shows up to work tomorrow dressed like a traditional Irishman, nobody's gonna give a. But if I show up tomorrow dressed like a black dude.

[Andy Vercella]

No, you.

[DJ Cruise]

No, in blackface.

[Andy Vercella]

You gotta say traditional black, because what does that mean?

[DJ Cruise]

And chains. I don't fucking know. A bunch of cotton tucked into My shirt.

[Andy Vercella]

I was gonna say you said traditional Irish. Like, what's traditional black.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, I mean, like, if you showed it with ginger hair and your face painted white with freckles, no one say, and then I show up till the next day in blackface.

[Dan Holloway]

Bro, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Right, bro. I mean, that's a good look, dude.

[Dan Holloway]

I got the better example. It's okay. Like, if I show. No, listen.

[Andy Vercella]

In my kid's life.

[Dan Holloway]

Listen, listen. Cultural approach appropriation.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Okay. I saw a video on the Internet of a white girl getting destroyed because she had braids. And by the way, she looks stupid with braids. Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

Destroyer for that.

[Dan Holloway]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

Looking like an asshole.

[Andy Vercella]

All right.

[DJ Cruise]

Right, but.

[Dan Holloway]

And this was black people destroying her. Black women, specifically. But black women can wear blonde wigs.

[Andy Vercella]

That ain't right.

[Dan Holloway]

They can do all kind. Like.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And every. Nobody could say. And by the way, I don't want to say, because I don't give a. But the point is, is that we're talking out of both sides of our mouth here, all right? It's not cultural appropriation for one class of people to do one thing and then the other class of people to do the exact same thing the other way and that. It's okay.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, if imitation is the highest form of flattery, then appropriation is just.

[Dan Holloway]

Kind of a compliment. That's right.

[DJ Cruise]

It seems like it. Now, obviously, if you're dressed up like Al or what's his name, the jazz singer Al Joelman. Joel's been. Or whatever.

[Andy Vercella]

The.

[DJ Cruise]

His name was Al Jolson. Jolson. I think if you've got. If you. If you have, like, brown paint around the edge of your face and then giant red lips, maybe that's racist. That might be a little racist.

[Andy Vercella]

Maybe.

[DJ Cruise]

You know what I mean? But it's still funny, to be honest. But it might be a little bit racist. But, yeah, this is all postmodernism, right, bro? Listen, this is Marxism. It's postmodernism. It is.

[Dan Holloway]

And the problem.

[DJ Cruise]

Established classes and then rank them based on victimhood and use that to divide everybody. That's what it does. That's that. I mean, it's a thousand percent. It's just. It's just Marxism. It's just clever. It's not new. It's not empathetic.

[Dan Holloway]

Annoying.

[DJ Cruise]

It's stupid.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

It's done. It's like the lowest frequency kind of way.

[Dan Holloway]

But I think people have started to grasp these things we're talking about, you know, there's more.

[Andy Vercella]

Like this keeps.

[Dan Holloway]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And like, bro, like, we. We in this country should. Like, dude, you say whatever you want about Martin Luther King. I think one of the greatest things that ever was said by Martin Luther King was that we should be judging people on the content of their character, not their race. Like, bro, how stupid do you have to be to literally look at someone of a certain race and say, well, I think that person's a bag because they happen to have more melanin or less melanin or this or that. Like, dude, it's just. It's a low IQ argument.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And, you know, unfortunately. Fortunately and unfortunately, it's been pumped into our brains for so long. Like, dude, when you and I were growing up, the racial tensions were not as bad as they have been recently. Now, like, the. The young class, the younger people have been tricked into believing that this is another civil rights era, when in reality, dude, when in our age we grew up, everybody was cool, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, the solved, solved problems don't get out the vote. That's. That's the issue.

[Dan Holloway]

That's right.

[DJ Cruise]

Right. So you got to keep that thing going.

[Dan Holloway]

So let's reinvent some problems.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. And it shows you how, like, I mean, I. I look for people that have deep first principles, even if they're misguided. You believe what you believe, and you ain't anchored yourself from that. And you try to figure everything else out. Because now I can talk to that guy. I know what he actually believes, and not just because here's two pretty decent examples. One's the one you just made where things what most people would consider the most important civil rights activists in the history of this country said that phrase, and that was the anchor point of his entire ideology. And the left believed in it so much that they made a party about it. That. That was their. That became their. Their party message for all this time. And then they switched it up and said, you know what? Now actually we are going to judge based on race. It's like, okay, cool. You don't really believe in that, do you? And now we've seen the recent example over the past six months, and Elon Musk, these leftists who believe in. That the world is going to end. The world is going to end soon, by 2050, if we don't do something for 40 years. And. God, who was it? Who is that dipshit? Kelly. No, Mark Kelly from Arizona.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. He got rid of his Tesla and traded in for a V8 Chevy.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, right.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, you don't tell me you believe that.

[Dan Holloway]

First of all, we all know that the green movement is a vessel for communism and control. Period. Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

We've had what I consider to be the foremost expert in this field on our show twice. Twice, which is Curtis Bowers, who wrote Agenda and Agenda 2, which are both amazing documentaries about green movement being, well, just understanding communism. Vessel for communism.

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Dan Holloway]

So we just had, and I don't know if you saw this, the ex president and founding member of Greenpeace come out literally in the last like three days talking about viral clip. He's been saying this for a long time, which is why he was persecuted out of the movement. But there's a viral clip going around of him right now talking about how the entire green movement is total and how we actually have CO2 deficiency in this in our atmosphere right now. Meaning we actually need more CO2 so the plants can make more oxygen because we have more people.

[DJ Cruise]

Nonsense. It's like this is a self correcting problem. Plant trees. You don't have to stop emissions, just plant more trees.

[Dan Holloway]

Dude, the trees we have aren't growing as fast because there's not enough carbon. Like it's, it's, you know. So what do you, what do you got to make more car? Well, kinda, you know saying like if we're gonna have 8 billion people on the earth, that's gonna throw it out of whack.

[DJ Cruise]

More cal farts.

[Dan Holloway]

Pretty much, yeah. So that, that. So if you understand the actual science behind the actual science. Not the science. If you understand that, you know, like they taught us in first grade science class, you know, like plants, plants eat carbon dioxide and then they produce oxygen and then we are alive. Well, it should make sense to you then that when we have 8 billion people, when we used to have 4. Okay. That we're gonna need twice the amount of oxygen. Which means we either need more plants and probably more carbon too to produce the amount that we need. Like it's.

[Andy Vercella]

But their goal, let's just take them no away.

[Dan Holloway]

Their goal, their goal is to justify the removal of all of these quote unquote. And this is their thinking, not mine, quote unquote, peasant class people that are not going to be needed once AI starts to really filter through. People don't understand, dude. Like these people are diabolical. And they understand that AI is going to take all the jobs. The AI robotics mix is going to create all the labor and they don't need the working class anymore. They don't need them. All they're going to do is cause problems. All right, we're, we're facing some very Dangerous globally because it doesn't mean the United States doesn't have to do it. Somebody else can do it. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I don't know, bro. Like, it's. Yeah, we're off track.

[Andy Vercella]

No, that's good.

[Dan Holloway]

I mean, people that. People that do this and fake race attacks, they should go to prison for a very long time.

[Andy Vercella]

I agree. I agree.

[Dan Holloway]

I almost think that they need to go in the wood chipper with all the pedophiles.

[Andy Vercella]

I would agree. I knew this was up.

[Dan Holloway]

Someone argue with me about that. About, why do you think that the people that touch kids should be executed right away? Well, here's why. Because first of all, it's evil. But second of all, do you know what happened to those people who do the molesting when they were kids? They were molested. Okay? And so if you have a predator who molests 70 kids, those 70 kids then grow up. Statistics, statistically, to potentially be more likely to molest other kids, which means you have. Have a. You have a problem that grows at scale the more you allow this in society. And nobody talks about that. Nobody talks about it. All child predators should be executed without hesitation.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

Because it stops a cultural. It's. I mean, dude, you can't stop it any other way.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, it keeps going. But I do got one last little question on this piece here. I mean, I knew that this was bullshit when I first saw the cross itself because, like, yeah, a white man.

[DJ Cruise]

Would have done a much better job putting that across.

[Andy Vercella]

I mean, like. Like, this is supposed to be 10ft tall, okay? Like, I mean, like, there's. There's regulations and shit. Don't ask me how I know, but do you guys think the mayor was in on it?

[Dan Holloway]

Yes, highly likely.

[Andy Vercella]

Highly likely.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't know. What's his iPhone message say there? That's.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, so that's the interesting thing. So, like, the Bernard guy, right? This guy, he's the one that actually set it ablaze. He. He told Mobilade that he was, quote. They got all of this stuff from his Facebook and messages. They said he was, quote, mobilizing my squadron in defense and for the final push, black ops style. Big brother, the Klan cannot be allowed to run this city again.

[Dan Holloway]

When did the clan run the city, bro?

[Andy Vercella]

Colorado Springs, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

That's my point.

[DJ Cruise]

Probably not. I mean, Colorado was never a slave state, obviously.

[Andy Vercella]

Right, bro, let's let.

[Dan Holloway]

What he's saying is we cannot allow white people to run this city. That's what the. He's actually saying.

[Andy Vercella]

And then Mobilade was then accused of speaking with Bernard for about five minutes on the phone three days after the cross burning. Now, he's obviously denying having any knowledge or involvement in the crime and revealed a letter from the u. S. Department of justice that identified him as a victim during the investigation attempt the cross burning. I think he needs to be investigated because there's no way, I mean, you.

[DJ Cruise]

Could verify that phone thing. Pretty easy.

[Andy Vercella]

Pretty easy, yeah, you know, pretty easy. So I don't know guys, tell us what you guys think. I think, I personally think, I speculate he was in on it, but tell us what you guys think.

[Dan Holloway]

Now that's my speculation too.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

If I'm betting. Absolutely.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, he was in it for sure. All right, well, let's get to our final segment of the show, guys. We've been rolling. We can't miss it though. We got thumbs up or dumb as. Guys, that's where we bring a headline in. Talk about it, you get one of those two options. And so with that being said, our thumbs up or dumb as headline reads Peruvian Fisherman lost for 95 days in Pacific ocean is found alive.

[DJ Cruise]

I would say thumbs up on that one. And my guess is he's got an unruly wife at home and he was on vacation for 95 days.

[Andy Vercella]

They wouldn't lost.

[DJ Cruise]

A professional fisherman isn't getting lost out at sea. Yeah, sorry, I just don't buy that.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. Let's dive into it. So Peruvian fisherman has been found alive after spending a grueling 95 days living off insects, birds and sea turtles. When his food supply ran out while he was lost at sea. Maximo Napa Castro. That's a nice name. It's not a powerful name. Set sail on a fishing trip from his southern peruvial coastal town of Marcona on December 7 with enough food to last him two weeks. However, 10 days into his trip, the 61 year old fisherman strayed off course due to bad weather, sending his boat drifting aimlessly into the vast Pacific ocean. When napa Castro did not return home, his family reported him missing and Peru's maritime patrols began scanning the waters for the mission fishermen for weeks without luck. He hadn't been found until months later when an Ecuadorian fishing patrol boat found his boat drifting 680 miles from the country's coastline.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean, did he not have the ability to move his boat from one place to another? Because if you're in the Pacific Ocean. Right.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And you're seeing the sun come up you would think. Yeah, just go towards it.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Because that's east. You would think a fisherman would know that. Which again, I think he probably faked all that. This, this sounds terrible. Although I, I do wonder if he had a volleyball. But since he's South American, did he have a soccer ball instead with a face painted on it? You know what I mean?

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I want to be racially appropriate.

[Dan Holloway]

Wilson.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, Wilson.

[Dan Holloway]

It would be called like, you know, what do you say? Wilson is Spanish.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't know, but I wonder what, Eco. Yeah, no, I think it's probably just Wilson actually.

[Dan Holloway]

But really, I don't know, man. I make something up. We just add an O to the end of it.

[Andy Vercella]

Well, so.

[Dan Holloway]

No, that's what my dad does, this dude. We go to Mexico.

[Andy Vercella]

Wilson.

[Dan Holloway]

Yeah. El Wilson.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, look at the hair on this guy, dude.

[Andy Vercella]

It looks. That's Maximo, bro. Like. Yeah, I mean it's my dad.

[Dan Holloway]

My dad. El Biro.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

And I get two elbiros.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean you don't. So you don't believe it?

[Dan Holloway]

No, I mean he was pretty happy by who he got rescued.

[DJ Cruise]

I, I genuinely don't believe that a 60 year old professional fisherman didn't know which way east was. No, I don't. I don't believe that.

[Andy Vercella]

That's him there in the middle too.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Holloway]

He looks pretty healthy for being out there that long too.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Vercella]

Eating sea turtles, bro.

[Dan Holloway]

Anyway, thumbs up.

[DJ Cruise]

A lot of protein in those sea turtles. Yeah, thumbs up on that one. I like. Either way it happened, he was either a tough guy that survived.

[Dan Holloway]

Look, he's trying to trade in that wife you're talking about right there or.

[DJ Cruise]

Or that was it. Yeah. He took a three month vacation.

[Dan Holloway]

Look at him looking at her. He's like.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I mean it's Peru too. He probably had a pound of cocaine on that boat, bro.

[Andy Vercella]

That's how he really stayed alive for 90 days.

[Dan Holloway]

That's why he's so excited.

[Andy Vercella]

Yeah. What else did you do to those sea turtles? That's my question, bro. It might have got.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, turtles don't like straws, so I don't know. That's.

[Dan Holloway]

That's probably how I killed him.

[Andy Vercella]

It is Peru though.

[Dan Holloway]

He probably killed him with the straws, you know.

[Andy Vercella]

We'll see, man. All right, well, we got thumbs up on this, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Want to snort cocaine off a turtle shell now?

[Andy Vercella]

That's all I got, man.

[Dan Holloway]

Hey, brother, thanks for coming in, dude. I always enjoy our conversations. You have a book that you're writing?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it's Almost finished.

[Dan Holloway]

You want to talk about it all?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. It's called the Amer, An American Reformation. And it's. I guess you could say it's a list of tenants that are. That I think are important to do what we're talking about, to re. Establish this connection between you as a citizen and the government. You. You. We. We will inevitably get the government we deserve.

[Dan Holloway]

I agree.

[DJ Cruise]

Right. So the best way to get the best possible government is to improve yourself.

And when you plan on having this out?

[DJ Cruise]

While we're in the publisher process now, so however long it takes them to edit and decide all that.

[Dan Holloway]

Cool.

[DJ Cruise]

I would like it to be out later this year, but.

[Dan Holloway]

Well, when it comes out, bro, you have to come back on.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I'll be here.

[Dan Holloway]

Cool. Well, thanks, brother.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, man. Thanks for having me.

[Dan Holloway]

All right, guys, that's the show. Don't be a hoe. Share the show.
