Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I don't know when people are gonna learn.
Speaker 5 (00:15):
I mean, I guess because the last time we had
a story like this, this dude legit got bit by
a gator and he was fleeing from the cops and
he decided to hide at night in a body of
water that looks swampy in Florida, which are big bad
no nos. So this dude hid in a swamp again,
new dude, after running from Florida traffic stop. This happened
(00:36):
actually just yesterday Lake Wales, Florida. A Florida man was
arrested after he fled a traffic stop ended up in
a swamp. According to County Sheriff's office, they said that
John Riff, that sounds like a fake name. John Riff
honestly sounds like the name of like the Patrick Swayzey's
deputy bodyguard and roadhouse. Anyway, he listened, listened to the
(00:57):
street name. He fled on foot from a tray fixed
stop in the area of shell Cracker Drive and Catfish
Road where you live at right there upon shell cracker
and catfish. That's where I'm at. I mean, what a
crossroad right there. I would actually pay to rename my
streets that. So he tried to evade authorities. He buried
himself in a muddy swamp. But guess what you cannot
(01:21):
out full You cannot full canine. They got him. He
had some drugs on each person. He did not have
a violent driver's lessons. And also he's already on filony
probation for position of myth. That's mythed up, y'all. So
he's in trouble. You know, I'm surprised he didn't get
gobbled up by damn gator. If I'm being honest, like
(01:42):
I mean, you might as well. Just you're you're it's
like fifty to fifty. A Florida man got charged after
a sucker punch outside of the Aldie left the guy
in a coma.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Holy Molly Broward Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
They said that a Florida man has sought because he
violently sucker punched a shopper and left the dude in
a coma. They announced the arrest of DeAndre Johnson, forty five,
after publicly pleading for tips to identify him. It was
in Lauderdale Lakes and it's caught on CCTV. He's facing
(02:16):
a charge of felony battery causing great bodily harm, permanent
disability or permanent disfigurement. And they did get a lot
of tips though, But it was like seven pm at
the aldi it captured the victim who was with his
service dog. He got into a verbal argument with Johnson
inside the store. Johnson's like way bigger than this dude,
as he Johnson then exited the store and waited for
(02:36):
the victim outside, right right outside the doors, and then
the video shows the victim walking out with the service
dog and then Johnson sucker punches him so hard the
guy falls strikes his head real hard, like bounced on
the ground like a basketball. That dude is he's in
a comma and he's got permanent injuries now. And I
hope the dog's okay. And they said he was saying
(02:57):
that the attack was provoked, and he claimed that the
service dog had attacked him, and that's not at all
supported by any of the CCTV footage. So the judge
set his bond at one hundred thousand and he looks
like trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
He looks like I've got it.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I have a very harsh we don't have harsh enough
penalties for stuff like this. I think you do something
like that, then you should be put into a coma,
and then if your burn on the taxpayer, you should
be eliminated.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It's not cruel and unusual.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
You know what's cruel and unusual is allowing people like
this to plague free people like a virus. Good and
free people you have no right to demand that they
have to put up with stuff like this. These criminals
thrive on the indulgence of a weak society's understanding.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Anyway, I want to.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Plead for some prison justice in this one.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I mean, you guys know how I feel.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I'm all happy to donate to the Commissary for Prison
Justice Advocates. It's all I'm saying. You know, people find
Jesus in prison all the time, and then I'm just
I'm just saying. Also, I got another one. Hold up
this no not reading that one? Uh or this one?
I told you well. Florida woman threatened up to blow
(04:08):
to blow up a high school over her daughter's boyfriend's
missing lunch. Sounds weird, so true Brandy Covington. You knew
it was a woman named Brandy.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I like women named Brandy's, but they are rumble rumbley.
She decided the best way to handle her daughter's boyfriend
not getting his school lunch was to threaten to quote
burn the school down and blow that blanking school up,
because that's exactly how you respond when something goes wrong
in his school cafeteria. It all started when she called
rock ladg High School's cafeteria mad that the daughter's boyfriend
(04:40):
had his lunch taken away because he didn't have sufficient
funds in his account. Where are the boyfriend's parents? That's like,
it seems like that's the boyfriend's parents jobs to do. Also,
if he didn't have enough money in his account, he
could have maybe just I mean, clearly he called them
and told them what happened, but he could have said,
can you bring me some money so I can get
some lunch. Now she's like she's dealing with she had
(05:01):
a post seventy five thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
She's in Brevard County jails. This's crazy.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
It is the folks over at Celtech at Florida Bourne,
Florida based USA. Family all of that company that makes
some pretty neat firearms, and in fact, they have the
Peacekeepers program that they're doing. It supports people who protect
the community's military, law enforcement, church security teams, school resource officers,
faith based teams and SROs. Usually you got small concealable
(05:27):
pistols that they rely on and it has a limited range,
and so what they do is they provide long guns
to help solve that problem and they fold up compact
for discrete carry and deploy in seconds with full rifle capability.
The Peacekeepers participants also get mission ready support, so you
get extra platform testing and you get armor or training
and direct peacekeeper pricing for budget conscious organizations. Now it's
(05:50):
already active the program and it's equipped over two dozen
churches throughout the Faith Based Security Network and every Brevard
County school, a number of different schools, Rock Springs Police,
they run cash g shotguns and sub two k S
five sevens for s ROS. Kill Tech probably partners with
the Faith Based Security Network and it gives people access
to all the training, all the inside everything. If you're
interested in participating in the new Peacekeepers program and getting
(06:15):
that that that that direct pricing as well, you can

Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's like mid December, mid late December. It's actually funny.
It was December eighteenth. I remember because that's an important
date to me, and that's Joseph Stalin's birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm a fan, you're.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Fas tweek is a fan, as an admirer, but we
don't need to go into that, I guess.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Okay, full disclosure. First off, welcome to the program, Dana
lash with you. We're at the top of this second hour.
That is, I can't I don't want to say full
name because the but that said Fuentez guy, right, he's
this like weird little twink who was loathed by Charlie
(07:08):
Kirk by the way, and previously most of the Turning
Point staff I should should put out there because of
stuff like this. I mean, that's just he's trying to
be such an edge lord and it's just it looks
kind of looks kind of sad, especially because he got
caught in the live stream with gay porn. But whatever,
I mean, you know, Hiler was apparently a twink too,
(07:29):
so you know, but I've known Tucker for a long time,
and Tucker was very helpful when we had our big
fight with our school board here during CRT, and he
helped amplify that. I've you know, I've done election coverage
with him at Fox, you know, where we're on set
for hours at a time.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I've met him in person.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
I've you know, I considered him, you know, not like
a I'm not best friends with him, but you know
he's a friend.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You know, we're friendly.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I've texted with him, and I texted I'm earlier today too,
because I like to be able to tell people that,
I know, what are you thinking.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I don't want to just you know, for clicks.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I know everybody's a click whor and that the monetization
of X, which pays for engagement, has completely revolutionized political
discourse to the point where we throw like that, we
go after the lowest hanging fruit, and then people make
bank on it. That's why you see people tweet stupid stuff,
and that's why everything is very antagonistic, because antagonism makes
(08:29):
people money. So that's why it's and I think it's
the worst mistake Elon Musk made with X personally. But
you know, it's not mine and I'm not running it,
so that's just the way it is. But I had
messaged Tucker earlier, like dude, and he always responds, but
I haven't heard back from him on this one, and
I'm sure I will. But you know, I always like
to say something or at least talk to people privately,
(08:50):
and I don't like to go out and you know,
blast people. For all these people out there who try
to sit here and tell me no enemies to the
right unlike them, I actually know these people. I basically
grew up in this industry with these people, and I
think that you there's a difference between attacking, disagreeing, and
then also Christian discernment. I cannot imagine calling yourself a
(09:10):
hard hitting journalist and having someone like that guy on
your program who's basically sitting here fluffing the memory of
Joseph Stalin, who is an atheist, by the way, a
really hardcore atheist who literally, as part of state policy,
promoted godlessness, and not push back on him, Joseph Stalin,
(09:33):
a godless atheist that killed millions of people. Having a
guy sit across from you and proclaim his love of
this dead failed revolutionary who murdered people and hated God
and talk about his devout love for him and not
push back. By the way, these are some of the
(09:55):
people who say Christ is king also, and they don't
say Christ is King is a way to worship Jesus.
They say crisis king is a way to blaspheme and
try to beat you over the head with it. Meanwhile,
they worship godless atheists like Joseph Stalin. You see what
I'm saying now, This is the woke right. They practice
the same identity politics as the left because they are
(10:15):
the left. Their policies are no different from the left.
I just can't imagine calling yourself a hard hitting journalist
and not pushing back on that. And he sat there
as anybody shouldn't and just had an expression of whiskey
tango foxtrot come across his face. That's the moment he
should have been full stop, er, what are you doing?
(10:40):
What are you doing? I've known Tucker, Like I said,
we're not besties, and you know, we don't have Sunday
dinners and we haven't done anything. I've talked to his
dad before, who's passed away.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't recognize this person. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Like I said, I'm not there every single day and
we're not you know, BFFs.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
But I don't know. Maybe something I don't know. I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Just to give you another idea of the guy that
was interviewed, this is audio cut twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Listen to this one. It's, by the way, not for
the faint of heart.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Whether he chooses to confront me or not, whether he
has dignity and honor or not, it's just a matter
of time. My ideas are already there. I've already impregnated
your organization. I took Turning Point USA, and I fit.
I took your organization, I took your baby, Turning Point USA,
(11:37):
and I fit. And I've been And that's why it's
filled with gropers. That's why your whole crew, that's why
the people around you, that's why your chapter presidents, that's
why your attendees, they're all gropers. So whether you choose
to confront me or not over the honor of your
(11:58):
Turning Point USA, it's immaterial to me.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
He's talking about Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
And remember this is the same guy that got caught
with gay porn in a live stream by the way
he got caught with gay porn in a live stream.
It came up on his screen apparently by accident, and
everybody saw it. I just want to put that out there.
And the video exists and I also have it. So
I got the video of him getting I'll happily publish
it out there.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I just thought it was interesting.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
He's so obsessed with fornicating with an organization but can't
get a real girl.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Why would you platform someone like this? Why? I don't
get it.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I understand the people who say, well, you know, this
is not cancel culture. If you think that Christian discernment
is cancel culture, you need to spend more time in
the Gospels and less time on X. If you think
that Christian discernment is cancel culture, you need to spend
more time in the Gospels and less time on X.
(12:55):
It's not about whether or not someone has the right
to speak, it's are they worthy of mainstreaming into the movement.
I mean, good grief, Even Paul had to do his
time after he was Saul, before he was welcomed in
to be one of the greatest disciples. Come on, this
(13:22):
is what's mind numbing. This is the stuff that's going
on in the right. This is happening on the right
right now. Charlie hated this guy, and there's tons of
texts out there. I'm not going to posthumously speak for him.
He speaks for himself. I'm just pointing out the texts
that are that are online, that exists. I'm pointing out
the tweets from their staff that are online and already exist.
(13:44):
Nobody needs to make up words to put in their mouths.
They already spoke for themselves on these issues. Who would
sit down and interview someone like this, Let's play cut
twenty seven. This might be some insight.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
How do you explain Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz? And they're
a lot like that John Bolton, I mean I've known
them all, George W. Bush, like the Carl Rove, I
mean all people I know personally who I've seen be
seized by this brain virus. And they're not Jewish. Most
of them are self described Christians. And then the Christian
(14:24):
Zionists who are well Christian Zionists, like what is that?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Ran?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I could just say for my self, I dislike them
more than anybody you know, because like what, because it's
Christian heresy, and I'm offended with that as a Christian.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
That's what so I think.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
So what he's talking about, how do you define Christian Zionism, Kane,
Because Christian zion I mean Zionism is just the belief
that Jewish people have the right to the land that
they've historically lived on. That's supported by thousands of years
of antiquity.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It's just the Christianity support of that, right.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
So what does he find heretical about this? That's what
intrigues me.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I think he was making in a previous podcast, the
distinction between who God was speaking about when he said
Israelites in the Bible as opposed to what we now
know as israel here today. But it's simpler than that
for Christians as it relates to the label of Zionism, right,
(15:27):
And I think they they're taking that muddy water and
they're trying to make something else out of it.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Right.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
So I think he had mentioned like Mike Hauckabee and
who else, Mark Levin, I like Mark Levent. Mark Levin
has been a straight shooter for as long as I
can remember. And is he saying that he finds it
heretical the belief that it is the fulfillment of like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Some like.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Prophecy or a bi prophecy that basically foreshadows the second
coming of Christ and that and is that?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
What is that? What he's talking about that what he
thinks is heretical?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I mean, I know a lot of Christians that believe that.
But I feel like that's being conflated because there's not
a good enough job that is being done, in my opinion,
to clearly articulate the difference between you know, biblical doctrine
(16:35):
and then also the belief that people. I mean, it's
not up for debate. I mean, there's thousands of years
of history recorded documented history from every single walk of life,
from the Zoronastry, Zoroastrianism, you know, Islam, uh, you know
(16:58):
Christian I mean everywhere where these people have been in
this part of the world, on that land for thousands
of years. That's not up for dispute unless people want
to dispute all of thousands of years of recorded history
from every walk of life, every color and creed. It
seems like it's purposely conflated as a way to undermine
(17:21):
that claim. Does that make sense? Do you think that
that's legitimate. Is that how you do you see that came?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I mean that's the attempt. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
And even if now let's just play you know, Devil's
advocate for a moment, for lack of a better phrase,
even if you believe that people who think that, even
if you believe that, what does that have to do
with supporting a people's right to exist in the land
(17:55):
that has been historically theirs for thousands of years?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean, there are Christians who believe that and believe
that it pretends the Second Coming and all of that
other stuff. But I really feel like that's kind of
a distraction from the larger point. But it's conflated to
undermine the support of people to live in the land
that has been theirs for thousands of years, you know,
And I don't think that. I think there's also a
(18:25):
way if you are a person of faith, if you're
a Christian and you don't believe that. I don't know
what philosophy, theory, or perspective. I think it's unfair to
lump people in to conflate the two. But I also
(18:46):
think it's unfair to denegrate those people because what harm
does that belief pose, Especially if you're talking about overall
Jewish people living in Gaza, that's ultimately what we're talking about,
are we not. We're talking about Jewish people living in Gaza,
(19:06):
thousands of years of antiquity that support their presence. That's
what I'm looking at, And it feels like a conflation
to undermine the legitimate claim of presence that the Jewish
people have in that area. That's my perspective on it.
So our skin changes in subtle ways over the years,
(19:28):
especially after having kids. Maybe your hair and your nails
and your skin don't seem as strong as you'd like
for them to be, but there are smart ways to
support them as you maneuver through the seasons of life.
Bubs naturals collagen peptides offer a very powerful solution to
help restore health to your skin and your nails, reverse
the signs of aging, and support your body from within. So,
(19:48):
starting in your twenties, your body produces less collagen every year,
and collagen is the protein that holds everything together. It's like,
you know, the glue for the body. So with bubbs,
you can restore collagen levels to what your body had
before when you were in your twenties and that means
stronger joints, healthier hair and nails, smoother skin, and faster recovery,
especially after workouts. Bub's Naturals offers the cleanest, most effective

(20:34):
Support the show and tell them that Dana sent you.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
This is a question. I did not have this on
my Pango card.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
The Pope's new Astronomers is he would baptize an alien?
Pope Leo's Astronomers Do you have an astronomer said he
would baptize an alien into the Catholic Church. Father Richard
Dsuzus's little Green dudes they are they would be one
of God's creed God didn't say that he didn't make alien.
So that's why I'm not going to have like, you know,
an existential crisis if they pop into the atmosphere. By
(21:06):
the way, but yeah, he said he's a cleric who's
been appointed chief astronomer to Pope Leo at the Vatican Observatory.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
And he said that, yeah, he'd baptize him.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Interesting an alien, all right, So a man This is
a total like Lemony Snicket series of unfortunate events.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Here a man's truck was flipped.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
And then got hit by a train. And then I
love all of these ads that immediately start playing. It
happened your Green Mountain racetrack. This is in Vermont. This
twenty seven year old man rolled his truck. It was
resting on its roof right on the train tracks. This
is like a horrible action movie. And then the train arrived.
He was able to get out of the truck. He
(21:51):
only had minor injuries. The southbound train was unable to
be contacted and collided with the truck, so there were
no no injuries in The crack is still under investigation.
A shooting suspect targeted a neighbor over concerns of a
horse getting too fat.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's okay.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
A man is accused of shooting his neighbor, and yeah,
it was in it's Pole County. Actually, this could have
been a Florida man. Technically no, at well, it's a
Houston's This was in Florida, but he's Houston man.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
He's being held in po kind of jail with no bond.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Thirty nine year old is charged with aggravated assault with
the deadly weapon and he's also being held on aggravated
assault of a family member as well, related to a
Harris County in Texas case.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So, the.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Victim said that the neighbor, the instigator, shot her in
the arm because he was upset that she kept feeding
her own horse that was kept on his property with permission.
He did not want the horse to get fat. So
instead of you know, amicably discussing it with the neighbor,
he decides to shoot her in the arm. You know,
this is why alien this is why the Pope can't
(23:01):
baptize an alien, because they're not going to come visit
us because of this kind of stuff. All now they're
trying to do these stories again. They're trying to say
ivermectin is to blame for the death of a Colorado woman,
But it's not.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
What do you say to those constituents who are worried
about feeding their families, Well.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
This is the most cruel thing that the Republicans have done.
Since the shutdown started. Forty two million people are on
SNAP that is basic food assistance. It is the most
effective anti hunger program that we have ever had, is it?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Though?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
If it's so effective, then why does he keep ballooning?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Why are there You can say that, well, Dana, that's
because of its efficacy, or because all of the solutions
that government has had to this issue have only made
people easier in being in that situation as opposed to
assisting them and getting out of it and rising above it.
I mean, that's insane. I mean you're talking about over
(24:05):
forty million people that are on food stamps. Welcome back
to the program, Dana, lash with you.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
This is a.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I was actually I mean I knew it was a lot.
Can did you know that it was like over forty million?
I mean you knew it was a lot, But when
you actually see the hard data, it's like, what the
It's crazy?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
That's what is that?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Like twelve plus percent of the entire Postea.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Yeah, it's like over eleven percent of the population. So
everybody think about that for a moment. Over eleven percent
of the population is on food stamps. Now here's the
other question that I had on those How many of
(24:49):
those people are in the country legally do we know
or illegally? Rather how many are in the country illegally.
I feel like that's a big thing, right, that's pretty
that's pretty huge. Well, we know that they were already
(25:12):
getting an insane amount of government handouts. I mean we
saw that with USAID. I saw that for one of
the us DA, and I was looking at this and
I went I wanted to run this by because I
don't I don't believe AI. I can tell when somebody
gives me an AI answer and I cannot stand AI.
(25:34):
Because let me just caution you real quick and come
back to my point, be very careful about using AI
for stuff because AI. First off, you can buias AI
super easy in the manner in which you ask a question.
If you wanted to give you a conservative answer or
a progressive answer or a whatever answer, you can absolutely
(25:57):
ask it verbatim to do that. But you can also
so intimate what sort of context. You want your answer
to come back to you as the by the phrasing
and the manner in which you ask it.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
So that's number one.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Number two, AI pulls from all data includes opinions on
x if, it's grock particularly, data includes opinions, editorial on
social media, editorials, It combs, and it kind of takes
a quick assessment of everything that it sees online because
(26:31):
I have done as a test a number of things.
The only time I've actually ever really used AI was
to try to try to dispute AI, and there were
certain things that had got incredibly incorrect AI has, especially
like for instance, with Second Amendment issues, I've been pouring
over crime statistics measuring different European nations. I have a
(26:54):
debate coming up compared to that of the United States,
and because certain countries actually under report their murders and homicide,
murder are categorized and collected differently because homicide generally as
a total can also includes not can, but it also
includes justifiable homicides, which is why the homicide rate always
(27:14):
looks way higher and there's no differentiation of that, especially
in certain nations, and for instance England and Wales only
consider they only count their cases if the suspect involved
in said case is prosecuted. Otherwise it does not make
their statistics, and that comes from actually their own police
in England and in Wales. So when you're asking AI,
(27:36):
AI does not include these nuances, and it will give
you a completely wholly incorrect answer that is colorized by
bias because it's pulling from bias. So it's not actually
any better than basically a search engine. Maybe one day
that will change, but as of right now, it's not.
So you've got to be very very careful when you're
looking at AI generated answers and going off that as
(27:59):
gospel truth, because you may be perpetuating progressive bias. So
I went and I was looking at this data because
I didn't necessarily trust it, and I was looking at
household snap participation rates because they were saying that, well,
when you break it down per census and you look
at native born Americans and then you look at excuse me,
(28:22):
people who emigrated into the country previously. When you would
look at snap rates of actual like United States citizens,
and this is something that would make people really mad,
but actually poor whites were getting quite a bit followed
like right behind by Black Americans and urban communities, I
(28:44):
mean right behind it. I mean it's very close, and
it didn't take into effect, you know, people who emigrated
into the United States, et cetera. So what this examination
did was it was looking at snap participants like from everywhere,
not just people who were born in the United States,
but people who immigrated into the United States. And their
(29:05):
alliance is actually extraordinarily high. And now there's an asterisk
here immigrant communities, what does that mean? They're not illegal?
That's the other thing that's actually not being tabulated into this.
There is a significant number that are here illegally that
are still receiving those benefits, and you know, you can
(29:27):
buy and sell benefits like that.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
That's like with DoorDash.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
One of the reasons I don't use door dash is
because and it was on their website for a while.
There's screenshots before they scrubbed it. They actually don't require
They were telling people, per the screenshots that are all
over the internet and the website that was way back
archived before it changed, that you just needed a work
was it kind of work identification number, not necessarily a
(29:51):
Social Security number? And then also people buy and sell
door dash accounts, and they allow people to rent them,
so you might have like Tiffany Smith, and then it
could be like, you know, Mohammed Mohammed, who's like running
the account. I mean, it's not necessarily Tiffany Smith. And
that's I actually started looking into that because there would
be times that we would get things delivered and it
(30:12):
would be like a female and then it was just
like a six foot two dude who would you know,
drop off stuff at the door, who totally did not
look at all like you know, the female who owned
the account. And that's actually a demonstrably proven issue that
DoorDash has. So my point being and coming back to this,
is that there's a significant number of people. They said
(30:32):
it was like forty six percent for Afghans, forty two
percent for Somalis, And of course then that gets in
a Minneapolis that are receiving a significant number of or
a pretty sizable amount of taxpayer money in terms of benefits.
This is insane. It's absolutely insane. I it's it's I mean,
(30:56):
you're talking about thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands
of people. The largest demo is still poor whites, but
followed closely by urban black Americans. But this has forced charity.
I don't even think I mean you could sit here
and get into the numbers. I actually think that that's irrelevant.
(31:19):
All of the percentages of what race gets what is
entirely irrelevant. This whole program is stupid. This is an
idiotic program. It has forced charity. It's actually not charity,
it's welfare. And it has ballooned since its inception, I
mean eleven y times what it was originally. It is
(31:40):
clearly not being used as a temporary safety net. It
is being used as a lifestyle. That's why you got
all these videos of people screaming about losing I mean,
these are like young people that can go out and work,
and they're screaming about losing benefits. As I said earlier,
I don't think that if you're receiving government benefits, you
(32:02):
should not you should not.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Be able to vote.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I don't think you should be able to vote if
you're getting government benefits, if you are receiving taxpayer funded
entitlements like SNAP, I don't think because it's actually a
disadvantage to the hard working taxpayer. The government is buying
your vote. The government's buying your vote, and if you
(32:27):
want to be able to vote, then you should work
very very hard to immediately get off benefits.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I have a problem with that, Kane.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I mean, some of our founders didn't think you should
be able to vote nless you own property, which I'm
also not a I'm really sympathetic to that argument. I'll
put it like that, very sympathetic to that argument.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But this is wild.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
This is unsustainable, guys, This is entirely unsustainable. And then
you have Democrats out there Republicans want people to starve.
Let me tell you something. One of the biggest costs
that families have to deal with is health care. In
addition to their day to day living, health care expenses,
their health insurance coverage, and care for their children. This
(33:12):
is a huge issue if you want to talk about
the cruelty of Republicans that are trying to save other
hardworking tax pasts. By the way, these taxpayers are almost
on entitlements too. They're so overburdened with high taxation. Healthcare
is the health care costs because of Obamacare killing people.
The subsidies. The fact that you even have to have
subsidies is proof that it doesn't work. It's proof that
(33:34):
it's not fiscally sustainable. But what's more, they fought against
tooth and nail making it affordable. I always hear these
accusations that Republicans didn't do anything.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Republicans had not one, but they had three plans. One
of them was really good, and that's one that in fact,
when rand Paul was in the Senate, he was calling
out saying that that needed to be brought up, and
I think he actually did the compliment to that in
the Senate if memory stars. Now, this is back in
like twenty ten. But there were three other pieces of legislation,
(34:05):
each one of them better than what Democrats were foisting
on Americans. And what was included in this is portability
because they did not believe that They did not believe
that people should have their insurance tied to their employer.
You should be able to take it with you wherever
(34:25):
you went. Supportability. They did not believe in the restrictions
and regulations that prevented insurance companies from competing across state lines,
because who benefits when everyone's competing for your dollar? You
do you get lower costs, better service, better care, better plans, period,
you do you benefit? They also had really good rewrites
(34:50):
of how insurance companies were handling pre existing conditions, the
whole nine yards. It would Can you imagine having portable
health insurance that you could afford, that's affordable for your
whole family, that you could take wherever you moved in
the country, didn't matter who your employer was, you would
always have it with you. Democrats said hell no, and
they fought tooth and nailed to make sure those bills
(35:11):
never got out of committee.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
That is fact. In fact, one of the bills I
broke down on my radio program live on air. That's fact.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
So whenever they tell you that the GOP didn't have
any have any proposals, that's an outright lie. Now, of
the three, like I said, all three were better than
the Democrat proposal. Of the three, one was better than
the other two. It was like a gradient, you know,
like Mama and Papa bearon Goldilocks, right.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
This beds toos off. This beds too. But they didn't
want to make it affordable.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
So I don't want to hear these Democrats complain now
about worrying of affordability for Americans when they did everything
possible to break them, not only with burdensome taxation, but
with the exorbitant cost of health care, don't want to
hear it.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
I don't know when people are gonna learn.
Speaker 5 (00:15):
I mean, I guess because the last time we had
a story like this, this dude legit got bit by
a gator and he was fleeing from the cops and
he decided to hide at night in a body of
water that looks swampy in Florida, which are big bad
no nos. So this dude hid in a swamp again,
new dude, after running from Florida traffic stop. This happened
(00:36):
actually just yesterday Lake Wales, Florida. A Florida man was
arrested after he fled a traffic stop ended up in
a swamp. According to County Sheriff's office, they said that
John Riff, that sounds like a fake name. John Riff
honestly sounds like the name of like the Patrick Swayzey's
deputy bodyguard and roadhouse. Anyway, he listened, listened to the
(00:57):
street name. He fled on foot from a tray fixed
stop in the area of shell Cracker Drive and Catfish
Road where you live at right there upon shell cracker
and catfish. That's where I'm at. I mean, what a
crossroad right there. I would actually pay to rename my
streets that. So he tried to evade authorities. He buried
himself in a muddy swamp. But guess what you cannot
(01:21):
out full You cannot full canine. They got him. He
had some drugs on each person. He did not have
a violent driver's lessons. And also he's already on filony
probation for position of myth. That's mythed up, y'all. So
he's in trouble. You know, I'm surprised he didn't get
gobbled up by damn gator. If I'm being honest, like
(01:42):
I mean, you might as well. Just you're you're it's
like fifty to fifty. A Florida man got charged after
a sucker punch outside of the Aldie left the guy
in a coma.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Holy Molly Broward Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
They said that a Florida man has sought because he
violently sucker punched a shopper and left the dude in
a coma. They announced the arrest of DeAndre Johnson, forty five,
after publicly pleading for tips to identify him. It was
in Lauderdale Lakes and it's caught on CCTV. He's facing
(02:16):
a charge of felony battery causing great bodily harm, permanent
disability or permanent disfigurement. And they did get a lot
of tips though, But it was like seven pm at
the aldi it captured the victim who was with his
service dog. He got into a verbal argument with Johnson
inside the store. Johnson's like way bigger than this dude,
as he Johnson then exited the store and waited for
(02:36):
the victim outside, right right outside the doors, and then
the video shows the victim walking out with the service
dog and then Johnson sucker punches him so hard the
guy falls strikes his head real hard, like bounced on
the ground like a basketball. That dude is he's in
a comma and he's got permanent injuries now. And I
hope the dog's okay. And they said he was saying
(02:57):
that the attack was provoked, and he claimed that the
service dog had attacked him, and that's not at all
supported by any of the CCTV footage. So the judge
set his bond at one hundred thousand and he looks
like trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
He looks like I've got it.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I have a very harsh we don't have harsh enough
penalties for stuff like this. I think you do something
like that, then you should be put into a coma,
and then if your burn on the taxpayer, you should
be eliminated.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It's not cruel and unusual.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
You know what's cruel and unusual is allowing people like
this to plague free people like a virus. Good and
free people you have no right to demand that they
have to put up with stuff like this. These criminals
thrive on the indulgence of a weak society's understanding.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Anyway, I want to.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Plead for some prison justice in this one.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I mean, you guys know how I feel.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I'm all happy to donate to the Commissary for Prison
Justice Advocates. It's all I'm saying. You know, people find
Jesus in prison all the time, and then I'm just
I'm just saying. Also, I got another one. Hold up
this no not reading that one? Uh or this one?
I told you well. Florida woman threatened up to blow
(04:08):
to blow up a high school over her daughter's boyfriend's
missing lunch. Sounds weird, so true Brandy Covington. You knew
it was a woman named Brandy.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I like women named Brandy's, but they are rumble rumbley.
She decided the best way to handle her daughter's boyfriend
not getting his school lunch was to threaten to quote
burn the school down and blow that blanking school up,
because that's exactly how you respond when something goes wrong
in his school cafeteria. It all started when she called
rock ladg High School's cafeteria mad that the daughter's boyfriend
(04:40):
had his lunch taken away because he didn't have sufficient
funds in his account. Where are the boyfriend's parents? That's like,
it seems like that's the boyfriend's parents jobs to do. Also,
if he didn't have enough money in his account, he
could have maybe just I mean, clearly he called them
and told them what happened, but he could have said,
can you bring me some money so I can get
some lunch. Now she's like she's dealing with she had
(05:01):
a post seventy five thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
She's in Brevard County jails. This's crazy.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
It is the folks over at Celtech at Florida Bourne,
Florida based USA. Family all of that company that makes
some pretty neat firearms, and in fact, they have the
Peacekeepers program that they're doing. It supports people who protect
the community's military, law enforcement, church security teams, school resource officers,
faith based teams and SROs. Usually you got small concealable
(05:27):
pistols that they rely on and it has a limited range,
and so what they do is they provide long guns
to help solve that problem and they fold up compact
for discrete carry and deploy in seconds with full rifle capability.
The Peacekeepers participants also get mission ready support, so you
get extra platform testing and you get armor or training
and direct peacekeeper pricing for budget conscious organizations. Now it's
(05:50):
already active the program and it's equipped over two dozen
churches throughout the Faith Based Security Network and every Brevard
County school, a number of different schools, Rock Springs Police,
they run cash g shotguns and sub two k S
five sevens for s ROS. Kill Tech probably partners with
the Faith Based Security Network and it gives people access
to all the training, all the inside everything. If you're
interested in participating in the new Peacekeepers program and getting

Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's like mid December, mid late December. It's actually funny.
It was December eighteenth. I remember because that's an important
date to me, and that's Joseph Stalin's birthday.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm a fan, you're.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Fas tweek is a fan, as an admirer, but we
don't need to go into that, I guess.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Okay, full disclosure. First off, welcome to the program, Dana
lash with you. We're at the top of this second hour.
That is, I can't I don't want to say full
name because the but that said Fuentez guy, right, he's
this like weird little twink who was loathed by Charlie
(07:08):
Kirk by the way, and previously most of the Turning
Point staff I should should put out there because of
stuff like this. I mean, that's just he's trying to
be such an edge lord and it's just it looks
kind of looks kind of sad, especially because he got
caught in the live stream with gay porn. But whatever,
I mean, you know, Hiler was apparently a twink too,
(07:29):
so you know, but I've known Tucker for a long time,
and Tucker was very helpful when we had our big
fight with our school board here during CRT, and he
helped amplify that. I've you know, I've done election coverage
with him at Fox, you know, where we're on set
for hours at a time.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I've met him in person.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
I've you know, I considered him, you know, not like
a I'm not best friends with him, but you know
he's a friend.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You know, we're friendly.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I've texted with him, and I texted I'm earlier today too,
because I like to be able to tell people that,
I know, what are you thinking.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I don't want to just you know, for clicks.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
I know everybody's a click whor and that the monetization
of X, which pays for engagement, has completely revolutionized political
discourse to the point where we throw like that, we
go after the lowest hanging fruit, and then people make
bank on it. That's why you see people tweet stupid stuff,
and that's why everything is very antagonistic, because antagonism makes
(08:29):
people money. So that's why it's and I think it's
the worst mistake Elon Musk made with X personally. But
you know, it's not mine and I'm not running it,
so that's just the way it is. But I had
messaged Tucker earlier, like dude, and he always responds, but
I haven't heard back from him on this one, and
I'm sure I will. But you know, I always like
to say something or at least talk to people privately,
(08:50):
and I don't like to go out and you know,
blast people. For all these people out there who try
to sit here and tell me no enemies to the
right unlike them, I actually know these people. I basically
grew up in this industry with these people, and I
think that you there's a difference between attacking, disagreeing, and
then also Christian discernment. I cannot imagine calling yourself a
(09:10):
hard hitting journalist and having someone like that guy on
your program who's basically sitting here fluffing the memory of
Joseph Stalin, who is an atheist, by the way, a
really hardcore atheist who literally, as part of state policy,
promoted godlessness, and not push back on him, Joseph Stalin,
(09:33):
a godless atheist that killed millions of people. Having a
guy sit across from you and proclaim his love of
this dead failed revolutionary who murdered people and hated God
and talk about his devout love for him and not
push back. By the way, these are some of the
(09:55):
people who say Christ is king also, and they don't
say Christ is King is a way to worship Jesus.
They say crisis king is a way to blaspheme and
try to beat you over the head with it. Meanwhile,
they worship godless atheists like Joseph Stalin. You see what
I'm saying now, This is the woke right. They practice
the same identity politics as the left because they are
(10:15):
the left. Their policies are no different from the left.
I just can't imagine calling yourself a hard hitting journalist
and not pushing back on that. And he sat there
as anybody shouldn't and just had an expression of whiskey
tango foxtrot come across his face. That's the moment he
should have been full stop, er, what are you doing?
(10:40):
What are you doing? I've known Tucker, Like I said,
we're not besties, and you know, we don't have Sunday
dinners and we haven't done anything. I've talked to his
dad before, who's passed away.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't recognize this person. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Like I said, I'm not there every single day and
we're not you know, BFFs.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
But I don't know. Maybe something I don't know. I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Just to give you another idea of the guy that
was interviewed, this is audio cut twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Listen to this one. It's, by the way, not for
the faint of heart.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Whether he chooses to confront me or not, whether he
has dignity and honor or not, it's just a matter
of time. My ideas are already there. I've already impregnated
your organization. I took Turning Point USA, and I fit.
I took your organization, I took your baby, Turning Point USA,
(11:37):
and I fit. And I've been And that's why it's
filled with gropers. That's why your whole crew, that's why
the people around you, that's why your chapter presidents, that's
why your attendees, they're all gropers. So whether you choose
to confront me or not over the honor of your
(11:58):
Turning Point USA, it's immaterial to me.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
He's talking about Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
And remember this is the same guy that got caught
with gay porn in a live stream by the way
he got caught with gay porn in a live stream.
It came up on his screen apparently by accident, and
everybody saw it. I just want to put that out there.
And the video exists and I also have it. So
I got the video of him getting I'll happily publish
it out there.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I just thought it was interesting.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
He's so obsessed with fornicating with an organization but can't
get a real girl.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Why would you platform someone like this? Why? I don't
get it.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I understand the people who say, well, you know, this
is not cancel culture. If you think that Christian discernment
is cancel culture, you need to spend more time in
the Gospels and less time on X. If you think
that Christian discernment is cancel culture, you need to spend
more time in the Gospels and less time on X.
(12:55):
It's not about whether or not someone has the right
to speak, it's are they worthy of mainstreaming into the movement.
I mean, good grief, Even Paul had to do his
time after he was Saul, before he was welcomed in
to be one of the greatest disciples. Come on, this
(13:22):
is what's mind numbing. This is the stuff that's going
on in the right. This is happening on the right
right now. Charlie hated this guy, and there's tons of
texts out there. I'm not going to posthumously speak for him.
He speaks for himself. I'm just pointing out the texts
that are that are online, that exists. I'm pointing out
the tweets from their staff that are online and already exist.
(13:44):
Nobody needs to make up words to put in their mouths.
They already spoke for themselves on these issues. Who would
sit down and interview someone like this, Let's play cut
twenty seven. This might be some insight.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
How do you explain Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz? And they're
a lot like that John Bolton, I mean I've known
them all, George W. Bush, like the Carl Rove, I
mean all people I know personally who I've seen be
seized by this brain virus. And they're not Jewish. Most
of them are self described Christians. And then the Christian
(14:24):
Zionists who are well Christian Zionists, like what is that?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Ran?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I could just say for my self, I dislike them
more than anybody you know, because like what, because it's
Christian heresy, and I'm offended with that as a Christian.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
That's what so I think.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
So what he's talking about, how do you define Christian Zionism, Kane,
Because Christian zion I mean Zionism is just the belief
that Jewish people have the right to the land that
they've historically lived on. That's supported by thousands of years
of antiquity.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It's just the Christianity support of that, right.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
So what does he find heretical about this? That's what
intrigues me.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I think he was making in a previous podcast, the
distinction between who God was speaking about when he said
Israelites in the Bible as opposed to what we now
know as israel here today. But it's simpler than that
for Christians as it relates to the label of Zionism, right,
(15:27):
And I think they they're taking that muddy water and
they're trying to make something else out of it.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Right.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
So I think he had mentioned like Mike Hauckabee and
who else, Mark Levin, I like Mark Levent. Mark Levin
has been a straight shooter for as long as I
can remember. And is he saying that he finds it
heretical the belief that it is the fulfillment of like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Some like.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Prophecy or a bi prophecy that basically foreshadows the second
coming of Christ and that and is that?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
What is that? What he's talking about that what he
thinks is heretical?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I mean, I know a lot of Christians that believe that.
But I feel like that's being conflated because there's not
a good enough job that is being done, in my opinion,
to clearly articulate the difference between you know, biblical doctrine
(16:35):
and then also the belief that people. I mean, it's
not up for debate. I mean, there's thousands of years
of history recorded documented history from every single walk of life,
from the Zoronastry, Zoroastrianism, you know, Islam, uh, you know
(16:58):
Christian I mean everywhere where these people have been in
this part of the world, on that land for thousands
of years. That's not up for dispute unless people want
to dispute all of thousands of years of recorded history
from every walk of life, every color and creed. It
seems like it's purposely conflated as a way to undermine
(17:21):
that claim. Does that make sense? Do you think that
that's legitimate. Is that how you do you see that came?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I mean that's the attempt. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
And even if now let's just play you know, Devil's
advocate for a moment, for lack of a better phrase,
even if you believe that people who think that, even
if you believe that, what does that have to do
with supporting a people's right to exist in the land
(17:55):
that has been historically theirs for thousands of years?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean, there are Christians who believe that and believe
that it pretends the Second Coming and all of that
other stuff. But I really feel like that's kind of
a distraction from the larger point. But it's conflated to
undermine the support of people to live in the land
that has been theirs for thousands of years, you know,
And I don't think that. I think there's also a
(18:25):
way if you are a person of faith, if you're
a Christian and you don't believe that. I don't know
what philosophy, theory, or perspective. I think it's unfair to
lump people in to conflate the two. But I also
(18:46):
think it's unfair to denegrate those people because what harm
does that belief pose, Especially if you're talking about overall
Jewish people living in Gaza, that's ultimately what we're talking about,
are we not. We're talking about Jewish people living in Gaza,
(19:06):
thousands of years of antiquity that support their presence. That's
what I'm looking at, And it feels like a conflation
to undermine the legitimate claim of presence that the Jewish
people have in that area. That's my perspective on it.
So our skin changes in subtle ways over the years,
(19:28):
especially after having kids. Maybe your hair and your nails
and your skin don't seem as strong as you'd like
for them to be, but there are smart ways to
support them as you maneuver through the seasons of life.
Bubs naturals collagen peptides offer a very powerful solution to
help restore health to your skin and your nails, reverse
the signs of aging, and support your body from within. So,
(19:48):
starting in your twenties, your body produces less collagen every year,
and collagen is the protein that holds everything together. It's like,
you know, the glue for the body. So with bubbs,
you can restore collagen levels to what your body had
before when you were in your twenties and that means
stronger joints, healthier hair and nails, smoother skin, and faster recovery,
especially after workouts. Bub's Naturals offers the cleanest, most effective
(20:11):
collagen peptides made from grass fed, pasture raised cattle, and
the powder is tasteless, it's odorless, and it dissolves instantly
in your coffee, smoothie, juice, whatever you want to put
it in. And it's third party tested NSF certified, whole
thirty approved and free of sugars or fillers. So for

(20:34):
Support the show and tell them that Dana sent you.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
This is a question. I did not have this on
my Pango card.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
The Pope's new Astronomers is he would baptize an alien?
Pope Leo's Astronomers Do you have an astronomer said he
would baptize an alien into the Catholic Church. Father Richard
Dsuzus's little Green dudes they are they would be one
of God's creed God didn't say that he didn't make alien.
So that's why I'm not going to have like, you know,
an existential crisis if they pop into the atmosphere. By
(21:06):
the way, but yeah, he said he's a cleric who's
been appointed chief astronomer to Pope Leo at the Vatican Observatory.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
And he said that, yeah, he'd baptize him.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Interesting an alien, all right, So a man This is
a total like Lemony Snicket series of unfortunate events.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Here a man's truck was flipped.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
And then got hit by a train. And then I
love all of these ads that immediately start playing. It
happened your Green Mountain racetrack. This is in Vermont. This
twenty seven year old man rolled his truck. It was
resting on its roof right on the train tracks. This
is like a horrible action movie. And then the train arrived.
He was able to get out of the truck. He
(21:51):
only had minor injuries. The southbound train was unable to
be contacted and collided with the truck, so there were
no no injuries in The crack is still under investigation.
A shooting suspect targeted a neighbor over concerns of a
horse getting too fat.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's okay.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
A man is accused of shooting his neighbor, and yeah,
it was in it's Pole County. Actually, this could have
been a Florida man. Technically no, at well, it's a
Houston's This was in Florida, but he's Houston man.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
He's being held in po kind of jail with no bond.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Thirty nine year old is charged with aggravated assault with
the deadly weapon and he's also being held on aggravated
assault of a family member as well, related to a
Harris County in Texas case.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So, the.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Victim said that the neighbor, the instigator, shot her in
the arm because he was upset that she kept feeding
her own horse that was kept on his property with permission.
He did not want the horse to get fat. So
instead of you know, amicably discussing it with the neighbor,
he decides to shoot her in the arm. You know,
this is why alien this is why the Pope can't
(23:01):
baptize an alien, because they're not going to come visit
us because of this kind of stuff. All now they're
trying to do these stories again. They're trying to say
ivermectin is to blame for the death of a Colorado woman,
But it's not.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
What do you say to those constituents who are worried
about feeding their families, Well.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
This is the most cruel thing that the Republicans have done.
Since the shutdown started. Forty two million people are on
SNAP that is basic food assistance. It is the most
effective anti hunger program that we have ever had, is it?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Though?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
If it's so effective, then why does he keep ballooning?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Why are there You can say that, well, Dana, that's
because of its efficacy, or because all of the solutions
that government has had to this issue have only made
people easier in being in that situation as opposed to
assisting them and getting out of it and rising above it.
I mean, that's insane. I mean you're talking about over
(24:05):
forty million people that are on food stamps. Welcome back
to the program, Dana, lash with you.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
This is a.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
I was actually I mean I knew it was a lot.
Can did you know that it was like over forty million?
I mean you knew it was a lot, But when
you actually see the hard data, it's like, what the
It's crazy?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
That's what is that?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Like twelve plus percent of the entire Postea.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Yeah, it's like over eleven percent of the population. So
everybody think about that for a moment. Over eleven percent
of the population is on food stamps. Now here's the
other question that I had on those How many of
(24:49):
those people are in the country legally do we know
or illegally? Rather how many are in the country illegally.
I feel like that's a big thing, right, that's pretty
that's pretty huge. Well, we know that they were already
(25:12):
getting an insane amount of government handouts. I mean we
saw that with USAID. I saw that for one of
the us DA, and I was looking at this and
I went I wanted to run this by because I
don't I don't believe AI. I can tell when somebody
gives me an AI answer and I cannot stand AI.
(25:34):
Because let me just caution you real quick and come
back to my point, be very careful about using AI
for stuff because AI. First off, you can buias AI
super easy in the manner in which you ask a question.
If you wanted to give you a conservative answer or
a progressive answer or a whatever answer, you can absolutely
(25:57):
ask it verbatim to do that. But you can also
so intimate what sort of context. You want your answer
to come back to you as the by the phrasing
and the manner in which you ask it.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
So that's number one.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Number two, AI pulls from all data includes opinions on
x if, it's grock particularly, data includes opinions, editorial on
social media, editorials, It combs, and it kind of takes
a quick assessment of everything that it sees online because
(26:31):
I have done as a test a number of things.
The only time I've actually ever really used AI was
to try to try to dispute AI, and there were
certain things that had got incredibly incorrect AI has, especially
like for instance, with Second Amendment issues, I've been pouring
over crime statistics measuring different European nations. I have a
(26:54):
debate coming up compared to that of the United States,
and because certain countries actually under report their murders and homicide,
murder are categorized and collected differently because homicide generally as
a total can also includes not can, but it also
includes justifiable homicides, which is why the homicide rate always
(27:14):
looks way higher and there's no differentiation of that, especially
in certain nations, and for instance England and Wales only
consider they only count their cases if the suspect involved
in said case is prosecuted. Otherwise it does not make
their statistics, and that comes from actually their own police
in England and in Wales. So when you're asking AI,
(27:36):
AI does not include these nuances, and it will give
you a completely wholly incorrect answer that is colorized by
bias because it's pulling from bias. So it's not actually
any better than basically a search engine. Maybe one day
that will change, but as of right now, it's not.
So you've got to be very very careful when you're
looking at AI generated answers and going off that as
(27:59):
gospel truth, because you may be perpetuating progressive bias. So
I went and I was looking at this data because
I didn't necessarily trust it, and I was looking at
household snap participation rates because they were saying that, well,
when you break it down per census and you look
at native born Americans and then you look at excuse me,
(28:22):
people who emigrated into the country previously. When you would
look at snap rates of actual like United States citizens,
and this is something that would make people really mad,
but actually poor whites were getting quite a bit followed
like right behind by Black Americans and urban communities, I
(28:44):
mean right behind it. I mean it's very close, and
it didn't take into effect, you know, people who emigrated
into the United States, et cetera. So what this examination
did was it was looking at snap participants like from everywhere,
not just people who were born in the United States,
but people who immigrated into the United States. And their
(29:05):
alliance is actually extraordinarily high. And now there's an asterisk
here immigrant communities, what does that mean? They're not illegal?
That's the other thing that's actually not being tabulated into this.
There is a significant number that are here illegally that
are still receiving those benefits, and you know, you can
(29:27):
buy and sell benefits like that.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
That's like with DoorDash.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
One of the reasons I don't use door dash is
because and it was on their website for a while.
There's screenshots before they scrubbed it. They actually don't require
They were telling people, per the screenshots that are all
over the internet and the website that was way back
archived before it changed, that you just needed a work
was it kind of work identification number, not necessarily a
(29:51):
Social Security number? And then also people buy and sell
door dash accounts, and they allow people to rent them,
so you might have like Tiffany Smith, and then it
could be like, you know, Mohammed Mohammed, who's like running
the account. I mean, it's not necessarily Tiffany Smith. And
that's I actually started looking into that because there would
be times that we would get things delivered and it
(30:12):
would be like a female and then it was just
like a six foot two dude who would you know,
drop off stuff at the door, who totally did not
look at all like you know, the female who owned
the account. And that's actually a demonstrably proven issue that
DoorDash has. So my point being and coming back to this,
is that there's a significant number of people. They said
(30:32):
it was like forty six percent for Afghans, forty two
percent for Somalis, And of course then that gets in
a Minneapolis that are receiving a significant number of or
a pretty sizable amount of taxpayer money in terms of benefits.
This is insane. It's absolutely insane. I it's it's I mean,
(30:56):
you're talking about thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands
of people. The largest demo is still poor whites, but
followed closely by urban black Americans. But this has forced charity.
I don't even think I mean you could sit here
and get into the numbers. I actually think that that's irrelevant.
(31:19):
All of the percentages of what race gets what is
entirely irrelevant. This whole program is stupid. This is an
idiotic program. It has forced charity. It's actually not charity,
it's welfare. And it has ballooned since its inception, I
mean eleven y times what it was originally. It is
(31:40):
clearly not being used as a temporary safety net. It
is being used as a lifestyle. That's why you got
all these videos of people screaming about losing I mean,
these are like young people that can go out and work,
and they're screaming about losing benefits. As I said earlier,
I don't think that if you're receiving government benefits, you
(32:02):
should not you should not.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Be able to vote.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I don't think you should be able to vote if
you're getting government benefits, if you are receiving taxpayer funded
entitlements like SNAP, I don't think because it's actually a
disadvantage to the hard working taxpayer. The government is buying
your vote. The government's buying your vote, and if you
(32:27):
want to be able to vote, then you should work
very very hard to immediately get off benefits.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I have a problem with that, Kane.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I mean, some of our founders didn't think you should
be able to vote nless you own property, which I'm
also not a I'm really sympathetic to that argument. I'll
put it like that, very sympathetic to that argument.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
But this is wild.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
This is unsustainable, guys, This is entirely unsustainable. And then
you have Democrats out there Republicans want people to starve.
Let me tell you something. One of the biggest costs
that families have to deal with is health care. In
addition to their day to day living, health care expenses,
their health insurance coverage, and care for their children. This
(33:12):
is a huge issue if you want to talk about
the cruelty of Republicans that are trying to save other
hardworking tax pasts. By the way, these taxpayers are almost
on entitlements too. They're so overburdened with high taxation. Healthcare
is the health care costs because of Obamacare killing people.
The subsidies. The fact that you even have to have
subsidies is proof that it doesn't work. It's proof that
(33:34):
it's not fiscally sustainable. But what's more, they fought against
tooth and nail making it affordable. I always hear these
accusations that Republicans didn't do anything.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Republicans had not one, but they had three plans. One
of them was really good, and that's one that in fact,
when rand Paul was in the Senate, he was calling
out saying that that needed to be brought up, and
I think he actually did the compliment to that in
the Senate if memory stars. Now, this is back in
like twenty ten. But there were three other pieces of legislation,
(34:05):
each one of them better than what Democrats were foisting
on Americans. And what was included in this is portability
because they did not believe that They did not believe
that people should have their insurance tied to their employer.
You should be able to take it with you wherever
(34:25):
you went. Supportability. They did not believe in the restrictions
and regulations that prevented insurance companies from competing across state lines,
because who benefits when everyone's competing for your dollar? You
do you get lower costs, better service, better care, better plans, period,
you do you benefit? They also had really good rewrites
(34:50):
of how insurance companies were handling pre existing conditions, the
whole nine yards. It would Can you imagine having portable
health insurance that you could afford, that's affordable for your
whole family, that you could take wherever you moved in
the country, didn't matter who your employer was, you would
always have it with you. Democrats said hell no, and
they fought tooth and nailed to make sure those bills
(35:11):
never got out of committee.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
That is fact. In fact, one of the bills I
broke down on my radio program live on air. That's fact.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
So whenever they tell you that the GOP didn't have
any have any proposals, that's an outright lie. Now, of
the three, like I said, all three were better than
the Democrat proposal. Of the three, one was better than
the other two. It was like a gradient, you know,
like Mama and Papa bearon Goldilocks, right.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
This beds toos off. This beds too. But they didn't
want to make it affordable.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
So I don't want to hear these Democrats complain now
about worrying of affordability for Americans when they did everything
possible to break them, not only with burdensome taxation, but
with the exorbitant cost of health care, don't want to
hear it.
