Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Like SAMs through the Holy Glans, so are the days
of the United States.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Individuals such as Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier
were taken into custody today former current NBA players and coaches.
What you don't know is that this is an illegal
gambling operation and sports rigging operation that spanned the course
of years. The FBI led a coordinative takedown across eleven
(00:31):
states to arrest over thirty individuals today responsible for this case,
which is very much ongoing. Not only did we crack
into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on the grand
stage of the NBA, but we also entered and executed
a system of justice against Lakasinoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino,
(00:56):
Genevesi and Luchase crime families.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
When I first saw the story and this has to
do with the Trailblazer's coach and the I was reading
it and I'm like, what do you mean illegal gambling?
Because that was how it was originally put like illegal,
I'm like, what that could mean a number of things.
He could be a hold in some anxiety's house. But apparently, uh,
it's a lot more than that. I mean, you got
some of the major families involved in this. You got
(01:22):
the Bananos that in aves, say, the lu Casey, the
Gambino families are all involved in it.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Uh. They said, I'm dying. I said that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Uh, it's apparently a big o'. It was a big
operation that was happening here. You know, I don't know.
I you know, I look at this and uh, they
said it was a rig poker scheme.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I'm reading some of the some of the documents on it.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
How much money do you think they were dealing with
with us?
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't even think you can accurately quantify it yet,
I mean, how deep did this go? He said, it's
been going on for eleven years or more so, over
eleven years, probably a lot of damn money.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Do you want to hear a very unpopular opinion? Sure,
am I supposed to be angrier over this than the legal,
legalized racketeering of my federal government with the taxation scheme.
I just can't get mad over stuff like this when
we've got the irs.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, if you've never bet on a game, or if
you've never.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I've never gambled. I've played slot machines one time in
my life, and I had one quarter and I won
five dollars and that was it.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Steve, How long have I been telling you that I
think the NBA's rigged and the NFL's.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Rigged since I got hired at this job.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yes, yeah, exactly. It's been pretty obvious to something.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
So wait a minute, all of the games? Do you
think that that you're explain this to me? Because I
don't follow it like y'all do.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Right, and I don't have proof that all of the
games were manipulated. But when you have different points spreads
and you're like, all right, this team will win by
three and a half, you know whatever, and then all
of a sudden, the last seconds of the game, it's
magic that they lose by less than that or slightly
more than that, depending on which way the betting surges went. Yeah,
(03:10):
it kind of after a while, gets like this is obvious.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I mean, it's bread and circuses. Is anybody surprised.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
That you're gonna bread and circuses are gonna be manipulated? Like?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What were you saying, Steve?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, I mean player problems, they are the problem. She's
just been on spreads not playing right.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, there you go. America's top water is a cocktail
of heavy metals and toxins, the result of Corodi pipes
that we should have replaced decades ago. Let me just
ask anybody in Flint, Michigan. You got lead, heavy metals, rust,
basically liquid poison right off the tap. So when I
tried Cove Pure on my counter, it was so easy,
no plumber, no drilling, You just plug it in and
(03:52):
pick your water temperature on the touch screen, And honestly,
it actually tastes like water, not like death.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So that's why I use the Cove Pure water purifier
to keep my family safe. Unlike the government, Copire actually
does its job. Lead in your water doesn't.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Stop at a gross taste, can actually cause a host
of serious medical issues. But yeah, sure, go ahead, trust
the city with your kid's health. I mean, what could
go wrong. Copier's clear Wave of technology removes up to
ninety nine point nine percent of contaminant. So don't wait
for the government to help take back control of your
family's health, and finally drink water the way that it
(04:31):
was meant to be. Visit Covepere dot com slash Danta

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Welcome back, Dana Lash with you.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
You can listen coast to coast channel three forty seven
direct TVs where you can watch us do the radio program,
also the chats at Rumble. We've got good stuff at
Facebook and X. Let me just throw this out and
then we're going to go right to our guest. I
think that there is a massive sciot that is being
conducted on the right. I think that the thirsty clout chasers,
and I think that the weaker members than newer members
(05:08):
of the right, who didn't check their progressive ideologies at
the door of the big tent when they joined, are
all susceptible to it, and as a result we have
seen a division errupt.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I tend to think that the division maybe not it's
not as bad yet as it can be as we're
seeing on the left, but it will be if it
goes unchecked. And this is something that this movement has
seen before. During the Reagan years, this movement has seen
this sort of ideological division, and it's something that I
(05:39):
saw play out this morning, and I've seen it play
out with a number of my friends, and it's getting
a little crazy. And we're going to kind of dive
into that and some other things with my friend and
guest as you know him, CEO Babylon B Seth Dylan
at Seth Dylan on X and he just had to
deal with a crazy, really crazy secure story where a
(06:01):
guy was making death threats against him and was threatening
to kill him and his family.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Guy lived in Florida.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
They found out who he is, and then the Age
of Florida announced that they were notified of the threats
and they got an arrest warrant and they charged this guy,
Nicholas Ray of Spring, Texas, with extortion, written threats to kill,
an unlawfully use of a two way communication device and
he was apparently motivated by this divide on the right.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Seth joins us now via video. It's good to see you,
my friend, and I'm glad you're safe.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Good to see you too, and so am I. But yeah,
thanks for having me on what's happening?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
He shirt?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
What I know?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I don't even know where to start. I was like
thinking about how we were going to even begin this discussion,
and it's honestly not something that I ever thought that
we would have to talk about on the right. Maybe
that was me being naive, but I you know, it's
kind of shocking.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Tell us what's happening.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Well, in this particular case, this, I mean, this really
goes back to Charlie's murder.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
That's where a lot of this starts.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, there's some of it goes back before that, obviously,
but where I get drawn into this is the origin
of that is with Charlie's murder. You know, he was
he was with me and a bunch of other people
in the Hamptons back in August. This is about a
month before he was killed, and there were a lot
of conspiracies floating around about, you know, where Charlie was
(07:23):
in his position on Israel and how much pressure was
being applied to him by the donors and what happened
there in the Hamptons, and then some conspiracies you know
about what happened there were circulating, you know, Canas Owens,
of course, being at the forefront of propagating those and
painting me as someone who was you know, a malicious
and bad actor who was applying, you know, pressure to Charlie,
(07:45):
trying to blackmail him. I was supposedly involved in some
meeting involving him and Bill Ackman and and Bbnett and
Yah who was on the phone offering him one hundred
and fifty million dollars and to get back on board
with his support of Israel. And he turned that down,
and then guess what, he winds up dead, you know.
So there's like this crazy conspiracy that I was caught
up into, and a.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Lot of people bought it. A lot of people believed it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Everybody is eager to believe that Israel and the Jews
are behind everything, right, Well, not everybody, but you know,
the people who are susceptible to this stuff, who who
are you know, having this shoved down their throats all
of the time, They buy into it. And so there
was a lot of negative sentiment, and that's putting it
mildly of course, about me, because of this. You know,
(08:29):
I was someone who was actually personally friends with Charlie.
I was at this event at his invitation. It wasn't
anything like it was characterized, but that's where the negative
attention came from. And so for several weeks, you know,
there was just what happened in the hand and Seth,
you know, like why did you blackmail your friend, Seth?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
What kind of friend are you? Seth?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And so I was getting a lot of this stuff,
and then it started to you know, of course, we
started to see some more aggressive things coming out with
in this particular case, Nicholas Ray actually saying that he
wanted to kill me because of my involvement in Charlie's death.
And so these are false, defamatory statements that were that
were made for the malicious purpose of doing harm to
(09:10):
my reputation and putting a target on my back, and
people got the message obviously.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
So that's how we ended up here.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But I'm very grateful, let me just say before I
throw it back to you, very grateful for the prompt
and serious response that Florida Law Enforcement had. The AG
took it very seriously, his office took it very seriously,
and of course the Prosecutor's office, you know, and seeking
that arrest warrant as soon as possible, getting the subpoena as
they needed before they could do that. So I'm grateful
(09:37):
to them for having our backs and it wasn't just me,
by the way, I don't don't want to just make
it sound like he was targeting me individually. It was
several other people were involved in this, and so nasty stuff,
very nasty stuff it is.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And you're right, James Uthmeyer, his age of Florida did
a swift and great job at mitigating this and getting
this guy because, I mean, what the guy was doing.
I mean, this is what we talk about when I
think a lot of this, you know, is maybe bot driven,
but a lot of it's not. And you know, like
what we talk about with the left, you know, there's
(10:12):
only so many times that people can call Trump a
Nazi and a fascist and all this stuff before somebody
out there who's super susceptible to this picks up on
it and does something.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's one thing to talk about somebody accurately like what
they've actually said and done, and report truthfully on what
they've actually said and done. It's quite another thing to
caricature them, to put words in their mouth that they
didn't say, to portray them as being Hitler or a
Nazi or something when theyre couldn't they couldn't be further
than the truth than the truth for someone like Trump
and his and his supporters, the MAGA coalition, those those
(10:46):
types of smears do have very negative consequences. Now, if
someone's not actually calling for violence, then they're not responsible
for whatever violence somebody does, but they are responsible for
planting the seeds where there's fertile ground for that kind
of radical reaction. And so I don't know why you
would do that. Why would you want to do that
unless you're just an evil and malicious person. But you know,
(11:07):
people keep asking me how I'm doing it. I'm like, well,
you know, I lost my friend, and then I was
accused of playing a role in his murder, and now
a lot of my other friends are covering for the
people who are responsible for those accusations. So I don't
really know how to explain how I'm doing right now.
And this is a very unusual situation in my life.
I've never experienced anything like this before. I don't wish
(11:29):
it on anybody.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
What's weird to me.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
And we're talking with Seth dellan CEO of the Babylon
b about all this is that, you know, I understand
if people want to have a disagreement with like, you know,
the Israeli government. But I feel like a lot of
the people who are saying that but doing something different
couldn't even tell you how they're parliament of structure. They
can't tell you the difference between Herzog and and Yahoo.
They have no idea about, you know, the lay of
the land, so to speak over there, And it feels
(11:52):
like a veneer for what it really is, which is
just anti Semitism. And it's a bunch of people on
not a bunch, but some people on the right who
are playing into the identity politics of the left, and
that's a leftist thing. Do you think that some of
this is maybe the consequence of you know, it's great
to have a coalition or a big tent, but there's
(12:13):
certain things that are just persona non grata in a
coalition and using identity politics like the left ought to
be one of them. Is some of this a failure
to enforce that?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Oh certainly.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I just wrote about this in the Free Press, by
the way, talking about the foolishness of the no enemies
to the right principle.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
I think it's just it's it's.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's not just foolish, it's immoral, you know, to not
draw lines to not be willing to say, you know,
there are certain people that you won't lock arms with
a lot of these things. These are things that were
the right. There was a lot more moral clarity on
the right several years ago, where the alt right or
you know, this white supremacist kind of like equal but
(13:00):
opposite reaction to like the leftist antifa thugs, like everybody
kind of saw that as being this really fringe, really
nasty thing that we didn't want any part of, and
we distinguished between ourselves and them. We're like, they keep
calling Trump, you know, and his supporters Nazis and Hitler
or whatever, like, we're not like that. There may be
people like that on the fringe far right, but we're
not like them.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
We would distinguish.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now there are calls to join with them and to
bring them into the movement and make them part of
the movement, and no one so far has explained to me,
first of all, how that's morally justified, but also how
is it politically.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Expedient, How does it help us?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
How could it do anything but hurt us to bring
people who are collectivists. Yeah, they engage in these race
based grievance things. They're supremacists.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
They are.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
They're just filled with bigotry and hatred. They have authoritarian impulses,
they're collectivists. Like you add all these things up and
it's like, how could we possibly benefit from having them
in the conservative movement? That doesn't make any sense. You know,
this is a real reckoning for conservatives to decide what
is our identity? What is a conservative? That's the next
question that we need to be asking me. We had
that question about what was a woman, Now we need
(14:04):
to have it about what is a conservative.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And what happened to the left when they decided to
mainstream the radicals, the street team that they used to
as an agitated variable to get out the vote.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I mean, yeah, that's a great cautionary tale, right, because
it wasn't just that they tolerated their extremists. I think,
you know, including them in their broad coalition was a mistake.
But they didn't just include them, They gave them the reins,
and so you ended up with this situation where, of course, yes,
they did accrue a lot of cultural and institutional power
(14:35):
with very radical ideas that they were trying to enforce
on all of us. From the top down, but they
pushed too far. Of course, they went so radical that
reasonable people, you know, we started to see the erosion
of parental rights. We started to see kids being exposed
not just to inappropriate materials in their schools, but also
this harmful gender ideology that was leading them down a
(14:57):
path of destruction and despair and cutting off healthy body parts,
all of it. It went so crazy, so far beyond
the realm of what's even possible to satirize, that there
was natural backlash to that. Reasonable people had only so
much tolerance for that kind of absurdity. And I think
they'll only have so much tolerance for the kind of
(15:18):
bigotry and authoritarianism that's creeping into the right wing. And
so I think it's only prudent from a political standpoint,
if you're just looking at it pragmatically, it's prudent to
draw those lines. But it's also the right thing to do.
Let's not lose sight of that. It's the right thing
to do to say, look, this is wrong, you know,
Glorifying Hitler isn't good, and we shouldn't be welcoming those people.
(15:40):
We should be condemning them, and no one should have
to ask us to we should be willingly doing that.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
What do you say to people who argue, well, you know,
conservatism has never been implemented. That's like the coordinated response
from some of these people. And my thought is that
one of the reasons that I I'll caucus with Republicans
but I don't consider myself a party member is because
they're too left for me. I don't think conservative principles
have ever been implemented fully. Christian conservative principles have never
been implemented at the federal level by the GOP. And
(16:07):
that's kind of my take on it. What is your
thought on that?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, I also I wasn't sure where you were going
with that, but I also hear a lot well conservatism,
are you trying to say it conservatism has failed?
Speaker 6 (16:18):
That's the objection.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Yeah, that's what the that's what their argument is.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I'm like, you have to implement it or try to
before you can say it's failed.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Well, yes, you're you're not wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I agree with you there, but it also it's not
the case that right now conservatives are losing. I wouldn't
I wouldn't con see that. I do think that conservatives
did fail to conserve some things they should have conserved.
I think there were a lot of people who were
too squishy, a lot of people who were too willing
to compromise, that didn't stand their ground on some of
these issues, and so we lost a lot of ground
because we didn't fight as aggressively as we should have
(16:48):
on some of those issues. That's certainly a problem, but
I think that, like I was saying, the backlash that
was generated by the left's overreach has resulted in some
serious and legitimate wins for the right, for conservatism, and
you know, a return of sanity, a return of valuing
the truth, reality, staying firmly planted in reality and what's good,
(17:09):
objectively good and true. We've seen a lot of victories
along those lines. I was just saying the other day.
You know, there's a joke I used to tell about
how we're so disadvantaged in this fight. It's like being
a woman who's just jumped into the pool with Lea Thomas.
You know, he's the tall one with the testicles, and
so this is like a joke I used to tell
about how disadvantage we are. Well, that's no, that joke
is old now because Leah Thomas has had those title
(17:30):
strip those records taken away like we were solving these problems,
we're pushing back on these things. And so conservatives, I think,
are in advance and the far left, progressive left, is
in retreat in the culture and in the courts.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
And so we are winning a lot right now.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And it's just bizarre to me to be having conversations
about how the extreme lengths we're going to need to
go to in order to in order to win, you know,
but win in scare quotes, because I think we're already winning,
you know, like, why would we need to abandon the constitution,
the post constitutional and adopt all of these radical ideas.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Or adopt identity politics because we've been bring without it?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, and how is that winning? When you become like
the left? How are you defeating the left?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Yeah? So my last question for you, and this is
kind of a hard I.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Mean, explain it to me, like I'm Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I don't know, or or Hunter.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Biden, although he might understand it better. So I don't
know how this shakes out because I know that when
everything happened during like the Reagan years, I think maybe
I was I don't think I was alive then or
if I was, I was maybe like one years old.
I don't have that lived memory of it. I just
know what I read that, you know, that sort of
aspect of the right was sort of drummed out. I
(18:42):
don't know how that looks currently. I don't know how
this this dissonance is handled and where where we go
from here, or how you can even convince people who
are adopting, you know, beliefs like this, How are they're
persuadable to even come away from that your thought?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You mean like the people that have bought into some
of this stuff, yah and uh.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
And are promoting it and perpetuating it, and you know,
are like quote unquote influencers or who freak out when
you mildly correct them on social media.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Yeah, well, the influence. So there's two problems.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
There's the there's the young people who are so susceptible
to it, and there's there's the people who are pushing it,
the young people who are super receptive to it. And
then the cowards in the movement, who are you know,
trying not to do anything about it and trying not
to confront it head on like they should, like they
would have several years ago. You know, there's the there's
(19:35):
this popular idea right now that what's really what's really needed,
what's really needed more than anything, is unity. Uh, we
can't have this infighting. It's a problem, and I think
it's I think it's it's suicidal. Ultimately, it's it's uh,
it's gonna end up depending us. Yeah, it's only gonna
help the left, it's not gonna you know, Like, I
don't think that a lot of these people actually endorse.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
The ideas, the radical ideas, but.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They've they for some reas and have decided that it's
necessary for us to have unity with the people that
have these ideas. And again, like I said, I haven't
heard a good argument for why that would be.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I haven't heard it.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
There's certainly no good moral argument for it, but I
haven't even heard a good political argument for it.
Speaker 4 (20:13):

your consistency, and you've been you know, a good ally

And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I feel like.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
We've seen this movie and or some aspect of it.
A dinosaur egg was unearthed in perfect condition after seventy
million years. Not gonna lie. My first thought was free pen.
They said it's Argentinian. Paleontologists found a perfectly preserved seventy
(22:01):
million year old dinosaur egg during an excavation. They said,
it's a spectacular fine. They find fossils all the time,
they've never found an egg, and they think that it
could hold you think it could hold genetic material. I
feel like this is also a Dave Chappelle's get I'll
have mine over easy, please, like it's ball and when
he did MTV Cribs and they had like legit dinosaur
(22:23):
eggs in the fridge. US car repossession surge is more
americans default on auto loans.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Finances are getting tighter. Wall Street sounds.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
The alarm over the strength throughout the car lending market
is experts worn of potential risks for the wider economy.
They said that they're being cautious, but that they've got
a lot of money getting lost in this. Also, let's
see real estate boomtowns are going bust. It's called a
market correction because certain markets were just super hyper. I
(22:54):
thought hyper saturated, and I thought a lot of stuff
was what am I thinking.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
The value was exaggerated? That's that's kind of how I
look at it. Can I don't think I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Because you're familiar with this industry, I really don't. I
feel like that's that's you know, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We're gonna see a correction, and then when the price
has come down, you'll start seeing the demand co exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So I don't think that that's anything necessarily to freak
out over Netflix their CEO on the Warner Brother Discovery
biot rumors, they said they have no interest in owning
legacy media networks.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Huh. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Also, Luigi Mangione, you know the guy who stabbed the
healthcare CEO and a broad Morning light or sorry shot him?
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Yeah? Sorry?
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, the reason why I said, because I'm looking at
the story about how he got beaten up and almost
stabbed by lady boys in Thailand. He got ruffed up
by a group of dudes dressed as women during a
wild night out in Thailand. Some of the lady boys
tried to attack and there one of them had a knife.
Just interesting facts that come out. We have a lot
more on the way. Stick with us this story. It's
a story of an illegal alien Mexican national named Carlos Porias,
(24:03):
forty four of South Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
He was arrested. I'm looking at his rap sheet here.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
He got charged with assault on a federal officer and
then he tried to escape arrest and then one agent responded.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
He ended up getting shot in the elbow.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
So why was he Well, he has been he entered
illegally and has been living illegally and apparently doing some
other stuff. So I saw him driving his gray Toyota Camra.
They surrounded him and then they approached and gave him
orders to exit the cards submit to arrest. He refused.
(24:38):
He drove the camera forward and back and was knocking
into the law enforcement vehicles. He refused to comply, and
then he drove it more aggressively towards one another law
enforcement vehicle, and they said that his driving was so
aggressive that it escalated to the point that large what's
(24:59):
in the Fidavid large plumes of smoke formed around the
camera and that was caused by the spinning of the
car's tires. There was debris because he was apparently so aggressive,
like he was like throwing rubber off his tires in
all directions.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Some of the agents got hit by it. That's and so.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
What ended up happening is they were trying to dislodge
the camera because he ran in between two other vehicles.
At one point, a federal agent was forced to open
fire because the guy was trying to use his vehicle
at that point as a murder weapon. And they he
could be jolled for up to eight years if he's convicted.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
But here's the kicker.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
The Los Angeles City Council hailed him as a quote
pillar of our community, and they gave him an award.
He was honored and presented with a framed award certificate
of recognition, and they they had a big thing and
(26:01):
they gave it to him. They had photos of them
awarding him. This I am without words, Kine.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I mean, it just is another check on the list
of proof that Democrats care way more about criminals and
illegals than they do the American citizen.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Here's a question, So when do we as citizens get
the privilege of ignoring whatever laws we want to.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Ignore, let alone be awarded for it.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Because I have some I have some that I don't
I don't want to follow. Yeah, and then we could
get awards for it.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
So I want to not also follow laws and get
an award for not following the law. There are probably
like veterans in laws. Well, there are veterans in Los
Angeles who never got an award, and they're probably drug
addicted and left on the sidewalk. But this guy, he
gets a framed award. Look at it's got the fry,
the simulcasta, has the seal, everything on it. Look he's
got the littles all framed. You know, they probably gave
(27:04):
him the frame to he get the whole thing. D
it all pro done? Is that not something? That's the guy?
So he gets celebrated and aworded, and we wonder why
we have such a problem with lawlessness and disorder right now?
What's more so, one of our listeners on social goes
by polygirl in Hennepin County, this is kind of wild.
(27:32):
Felony burglary is now a citation offense, no arrest, no booking,
that's what it is. And this is in Minnesota, Hennepen
County is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So a felony in
Hennepin County, Minnesota is now just a ticket. You only
(27:54):
get a ticket. That's a new thing. That's an ad
that's kind of like what they were doing in California, right,
So they've changed them, and there's paperwork that shows that
these are all being downgraded Bloomington City Attorney, like, for instance,
third degree burglary interests, public buildings, steals, and that's just
(28:15):
a citation. Now there's no arrests, there's no anything. It's
a felony, but now they're not even prosecuting it as such.
You know a lot of these clearance rates for a
lot of these liberal cities, and by clearance rates, I
mean you know where you have these felonious activities, and
whether you get an arrest or you have somebody go
(28:37):
to trial, that counts as whether or not you're clearing
that case, they have dropped so low. I think in
Detroit it's like fifteen percent of the cases that they
deal with. Actually, I mean it's staggering. It is staggering
the structure the judicial system and this restorative justice. There
(28:57):
are so many studies that dance around it. They don't
want to actually confirm that that's what's really driving so
much of this stuff. It is I've never seen anything
like this. I mean, this is it's wild. But this
is part of the part of the issue as it
pertains to the criminal justice system. You have these prosecutors
(29:18):
that are just issuing risk slaps and judges that are
issuing risk slaps, and they think that that somehow is
going to be better in mitigating crime than just enforcing
the law, like for instance, the Glock thing, which we
will be talking about more, where they're trying to force
Glock to redesign their firearms because the criminals will commit
(29:41):
a felony by installing a switch in it, which anything
is modifiable no matter what, and it's not. What gets
me is like, you got I mean for cred outlined,
you know who the criminals are, you know who the
people are doing it. Instead of arresting them. They're making
glock literally redesign their guns. It's like making vehicles redesign
our automobile manufacturers redesign their vehicles because people are stealing them.
(30:07):
You're going to blame the product and act like the
attractiveness and the covetness of it is the problem and
not the law breaking. That's where we are. You're gonna
get more vigilanteism if this keeps up. That's a guarantee.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Like SAMs through the Holy Glans, so are the days
of the United States.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Individuals such as Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier
were taken into custody today former current NBA players and coaches.
What you don't know is that this is an illegal
gambling operation and sports rigging operation that spanned the course
of years. The FBI led a coordinative takedown across eleven
(00:31):
states to arrest over thirty individuals today responsible for this case,
which is very much ongoing. Not only did we crack
into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on the grand
stage of the NBA, but we also entered and executed
a system of justice against Lakasinoshra to include the Bonano, Gambino,
(00:56):
Genevesi and Luchase crime families.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
When I first saw the story and this has to
do with the Trailblazer's coach and the I was reading
it and I'm like, what do you mean illegal gambling?
Because that was how it was originally put like illegal,
I'm like, what that could mean a number of things.
He could be a hold in some anxiety's house. But apparently, uh,
it's a lot more than that. I mean, you got
some of the major families involved in this. You got
(01:22):
the Bananos that in aves, say, the lu Casey, the
Gambino families are all involved in it.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Uh. They said, I'm dying. I said that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Uh, it's apparently a big o'. It was a big
operation that was happening here. You know, I don't know.
I you know, I look at this and uh, they
said it was a rig poker scheme.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I'm reading some of the some of the documents on it.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
How much money do you think they were dealing with
with us?
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't even think you can accurately quantify it yet,
I mean, how deep did this go? He said, it's
been going on for eleven years or more so, over
eleven years, probably a lot of damn money.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Do you want to hear a very unpopular opinion? Sure,
am I supposed to be angrier over this than the legal,
legalized racketeering of my federal government with the taxation scheme.
I just can't get mad over stuff like this when
we've got the irs.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, if you've never bet on a game, or if
you've never.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I've never gambled. I've played slot machines one time in
my life, and I had one quarter and I won
five dollars and that was it.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Steve, How long have I been telling you that I
think the NBA's rigged and the NFL's.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Rigged since I got hired at this job.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yes, yeah, exactly. It's been pretty obvious to something.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
So wait a minute, all of the games? Do you
think that that you're explain this to me? Because I
don't follow it like y'all do.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Right, and I don't have proof that all of the
games were manipulated. But when you have different points spreads
and you're like, all right, this team will win by
three and a half, you know whatever, and then all
of a sudden, the last seconds of the game, it's
magic that they lose by less than that or slightly
more than that, depending on which way the betting surges went. Yeah,
(03:10):
it kind of after a while, gets like this is obvious.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I mean, it's bread and circuses. Is anybody surprised.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
That you're gonna bread and circuses are gonna be manipulated? Like?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What were you saying, Steve?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, I mean player problems, they are the problem. She's
just been on spreads not playing right.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, there you go. America's top water is a cocktail
of heavy metals and toxins, the result of Corodi pipes
that we should have replaced decades ago. Let me just
ask anybody in Flint, Michigan. You got lead, heavy metals, rust,
basically liquid poison right off the tap. So when I
tried Cove Pure on my counter, it was so easy,
no plumber, no drilling, You just plug it in and
(03:52):
pick your water temperature on the touch screen, And honestly,
it actually tastes like water, not like death.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So that's why I use the Cove Pure water purifier
to keep my family safe. Unlike the government, Copire actually
does its job. Lead in your water doesn't.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Stop at a gross taste, can actually cause a host
of serious medical issues. But yeah, sure, go ahead, trust
the city with your kid's health. I mean, what could
go wrong. Copier's clear Wave of technology removes up to
ninety nine point nine percent of contaminant. So don't wait
for the government to help take back control of your
family's health, and finally drink water the way that it
(04:31):
was meant to be. Visit Covepere dot com slash Danta

Welcome back, Dana Lash with you.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
You can listen coast to coast channel three forty seven
direct TVs where you can watch us do the radio program,
also the chats at Rumble. We've got good stuff at
Facebook and X. Let me just throw this out and
then we're going to go right to our guest. I
think that there is a massive sciot that is being
conducted on the right. I think that the thirsty clout chasers,
and I think that the weaker members than newer members
(05:08):
of the right, who didn't check their progressive ideologies at
the door of the big tent when they joined, are
all susceptible to it, and as a result we have
seen a division errupt.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I tend to think that the division maybe not it's
not as bad yet as it can be as we're
seeing on the left, but it will be if it
goes unchecked. And this is something that this movement has
seen before. During the Reagan years, this movement has seen
this sort of ideological division, and it's something that I
(05:39):
saw play out this morning, and I've seen it play
out with a number of my friends, and it's getting
a little crazy. And we're going to kind of dive
into that and some other things with my friend and
guest as you know him, CEO Babylon B Seth Dylan
at Seth Dylan on X and he just had to
deal with a crazy, really crazy secure story where a
(06:01):
guy was making death threats against him and was threatening
to kill him and his family.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Guy lived in Florida.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
They found out who he is, and then the Age
of Florida announced that they were notified of the threats
and they got an arrest warrant and they charged this guy,
Nicholas Ray of Spring, Texas, with extortion, written threats to kill,
an unlawfully use of a two way communication device and
he was apparently motivated by this divide on the right.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Seth joins us now via video. It's good to see you,
my friend, and I'm glad you're safe.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Good to see you too, and so am I. But yeah,
thanks for having me on what's happening?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
He shirt?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
What I know?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I don't even know where to start. I was like
thinking about how we were going to even begin this discussion,
and it's honestly not something that I ever thought that
we would have to talk about on the right. Maybe
that was me being naive, but I you know, it's
kind of shocking.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Tell us what's happening.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Well, in this particular case, this, I mean, this really
goes back to Charlie's murder.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
That's where a lot of this starts.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, there's some of it goes back before that, obviously,
but where I get drawn into this is the origin
of that is with Charlie's murder. You know, he was
he was with me and a bunch of other people
in the Hamptons back in August. This is about a
month before he was killed, and there were a lot
of conspiracies floating around about, you know, where Charlie was
(07:23):
in his position on Israel and how much pressure was
being applied to him by the donors and what happened
there in the Hamptons, and then some conspiracies you know
about what happened there were circulating, you know, Canas Owens,
of course, being at the forefront of propagating those and
painting me as someone who was you know, a malicious
and bad actor who was applying, you know, pressure to Charlie,
(07:45):
trying to blackmail him. I was supposedly involved in some
meeting involving him and Bill Ackman and and Bbnett and
Yah who was on the phone offering him one hundred
and fifty million dollars and to get back on board
with his support of Israel. And he turned that down,
and then guess what, he winds up dead, you know.
So there's like this crazy conspiracy that I was caught
up into, and a.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Lot of people bought it. A lot of people believed it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Everybody is eager to believe that Israel and the Jews
are behind everything, right, Well, not everybody, but you know,
the people who are susceptible to this stuff, who who
are you know, having this shoved down their throats all
of the time, They buy into it. And so there
was a lot of negative sentiment, and that's putting it
mildly of course, about me, because of this. You know,
(08:29):
I was someone who was actually personally friends with Charlie.
I was at this event at his invitation. It wasn't
anything like it was characterized, but that's where the negative
attention came from. And so for several weeks, you know,
there was just what happened in the hand and Seth,
you know, like why did you blackmail your friend, Seth?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
What kind of friend are you? Seth?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
And so I was getting a lot of this stuff,
and then it started to you know, of course, we
started to see some more aggressive things coming out with
in this particular case, Nicholas Ray actually saying that he
wanted to kill me because of my involvement in Charlie's death.
And so these are false, defamatory statements that were that
were made for the malicious purpose of doing harm to
(09:10):
my reputation and putting a target on my back, and
people got the message obviously.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
So that's how we ended up here.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But I'm very grateful, let me just say before I
throw it back to you, very grateful for the prompt
and serious response that Florida Law Enforcement had. The AG
took it very seriously, his office took it very seriously,
and of course the Prosecutor's office, you know, and seeking
that arrest warrant as soon as possible, getting the subpoena as
they needed before they could do that. So I'm grateful
(09:37):
to them for having our backs and it wasn't just me,
by the way, I don't don't want to just make
it sound like he was targeting me individually. It was
several other people were involved in this, and so nasty stuff,
very nasty stuff it is.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And you're right, James Uthmeyer, his age of Florida did
a swift and great job at mitigating this and getting
this guy because, I mean, what the guy was doing.
I mean, this is what we talk about when I
think a lot of this, you know, is maybe bot driven,
but a lot of it's not. And you know, like
what we talk about with the left, you know, there's
(10:12):
only so many times that people can call Trump a
Nazi and a fascist and all this stuff before somebody
out there who's super susceptible to this picks up on
it and does something.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's one thing to talk about somebody accurately like what
they've actually said and done, and report truthfully on what
they've actually said and done. It's quite another thing to
caricature them, to put words in their mouth that they
didn't say, to portray them as being Hitler or a
Nazi or something when theyre couldn't they couldn't be further
than the truth than the truth for someone like Trump
and his and his supporters, the MAGA coalition, those those
(10:46):
types of smears do have very negative consequences. Now, if
someone's not actually calling for violence, then they're not responsible
for whatever violence somebody does, but they are responsible for
planting the seeds where there's fertile ground for that kind
of radical reaction. And so I don't know why you
would do that. Why would you want to do that
unless you're just an evil and malicious person. But you know,
(11:07):
people keep asking me how I'm doing it. I'm like, well,
you know, I lost my friend, and then I was
accused of playing a role in his murder, and now
a lot of my other friends are covering for the
people who are responsible for those accusations. So I don't
really know how to explain how I'm doing right now.
And this is a very unusual situation in my life.
I've never experienced anything like this before. I don't wish
(11:29):
it on anybody.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
What's weird to me.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
And we're talking with Seth dellan CEO of the Babylon
b about all this is that, you know, I understand
if people want to have a disagreement with like, you know,
the Israeli government. But I feel like a lot of
the people who are saying that but doing something different
couldn't even tell you how they're parliament of structure. They
can't tell you the difference between Herzog and and Yahoo.
They have no idea about, you know, the lay of
the land, so to speak over there, And it feels
(11:52):
like a veneer for what it really is, which is
just anti Semitism. And it's a bunch of people on
not a bunch, but some people on the right who
are playing into the identity politics of the left, and
that's a leftist thing. Do you think that some of
this is maybe the consequence of you know, it's great
to have a coalition or a big tent, but there's
(12:13):
certain things that are just persona non grata in a
coalition and using identity politics like the left ought to
be one of them. Is some of this a failure
to enforce that?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Oh certainly.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I just wrote about this in the Free Press, by
the way, talking about the foolishness of the no enemies
to the right principle.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
I think it's just it's it's.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's not just foolish, it's immoral, you know, to not
draw lines to not be willing to say, you know,
there are certain people that you won't lock arms with
a lot of these things. These are things that were
the right. There was a lot more moral clarity on
the right several years ago, where the alt right or
you know, this white supremacist kind of like equal but
(13:00):
opposite reaction to like the leftist antifa thugs, like everybody
kind of saw that as being this really fringe, really
nasty thing that we didn't want any part of, and
we distinguished between ourselves and them. We're like, they keep
calling Trump, you know, and his supporters Nazis and Hitler
or whatever, like, we're not like that. There may be
people like that on the fringe far right, but we're
not like them.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
We would distinguish.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now there are calls to join with them and to
bring them into the movement and make them part of
the movement, and no one so far has explained to me,
first of all, how that's morally justified, but also how
is it politically.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Expedient, How does it help us?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
How could it do anything but hurt us to bring
people who are collectivists. Yeah, they engage in these race
based grievance things. They're supremacists.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
They are.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
They're just filled with bigotry and hatred. They have authoritarian impulses,
they're collectivists. Like you add all these things up and
it's like, how could we possibly benefit from having them
in the conservative movement? That doesn't make any sense. You know,
this is a real reckoning for conservatives to decide what
is our identity? What is a conservative? That's the next
question that we need to be asking me. We had
that question about what was a woman, Now we need
(14:04):
to have it about what is a conservative.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And what happened to the left when they decided to
mainstream the radicals, the street team that they used to
as an agitated variable to get out the vote.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I mean, yeah, that's a great cautionary tale, right, because
it wasn't just that they tolerated their extremists. I think,
you know, including them in their broad coalition was a mistake.
But they didn't just include them, They gave them the reins,
and so you ended up with this situation where, of course, yes,
they did accrue a lot of cultural and institutional power
(14:35):
with very radical ideas that they were trying to enforce
on all of us. From the top down, but they
pushed too far. Of course, they went so radical that
reasonable people, you know, we started to see the erosion
of parental rights. We started to see kids being exposed
not just to inappropriate materials in their schools, but also
this harmful gender ideology that was leading them down a
(14:57):
path of destruction and despair and cutting off healthy body parts,
all of it. It went so crazy, so far beyond
the realm of what's even possible to satirize, that there
was natural backlash to that. Reasonable people had only so
much tolerance for that kind of absurdity. And I think
they'll only have so much tolerance for the kind of
(15:18):
bigotry and authoritarianism that's creeping into the right wing. And
so I think it's only prudent from a political standpoint,
if you're just looking at it pragmatically, it's prudent to
draw those lines. But it's also the right thing to do.
Let's not lose sight of that. It's the right thing
to do to say, look, this is wrong, you know,
Glorifying Hitler isn't good, and we shouldn't be welcoming those people.
(15:40):
We should be condemning them, and no one should have
to ask us to we should be willingly doing that.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
What do you say to people who argue, well, you know,
conservatism has never been implemented. That's like the coordinated response
from some of these people. And my thought is that
one of the reasons that I I'll caucus with Republicans
but I don't consider myself a party member is because
they're too left for me. I don't think conservative principles
have ever been implemented fully. Christian conservative principles have never
been implemented at the federal level by the GOP. And
(16:07):
that's kind of my take on it. What is your
thought on that?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, I also I wasn't sure where you were going
with that, but I also hear a lot well conservatism,
are you trying to say it conservatism has failed?
Speaker 6 (16:18):
That's the objection.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Yeah, that's what the that's what their argument is.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I'm like, you have to implement it or try to
before you can say it's failed.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Well, yes, you're you're not wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I agree with you there, but it also it's not
the case that right now conservatives are losing. I wouldn't
I wouldn't con see that. I do think that conservatives
did fail to conserve some things they should have conserved.
I think there were a lot of people who were
too squishy, a lot of people who were too willing
to compromise, that didn't stand their ground on some of
these issues, and so we lost a lot of ground
because we didn't fight as aggressively as we should have
(16:48):
on some of those issues. That's certainly a problem, but
I think that, like I was saying, the backlash that
was generated by the left's overreach has resulted in some
serious and legitimate wins for the right, for conservatism, and
you know, a return of sanity, a return of valuing
the truth, reality, staying firmly planted in reality and what's good,
(17:09):
objectively good and true. We've seen a lot of victories
along those lines. I was just saying the other day.
You know, there's a joke I used to tell about
how we're so disadvantaged in this fight. It's like being
a woman who's just jumped into the pool with Lea Thomas.
You know, he's the tall one with the testicles, and
so this is like a joke I used to tell
about how disadvantage we are. Well, that's no, that joke
is old now because Leah Thomas has had those title
(17:30):
strip those records taken away like we were solving these problems,
we're pushing back on these things. And so conservatives, I think,
are in advance and the far left, progressive left, is
in retreat in the culture and in the courts.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
And so we are winning a lot right now.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And it's just bizarre to me to be having conversations
about how the extreme lengths we're going to need to
go to in order to in order to win, you know,
but win in scare quotes, because I think we're already winning,
you know, like, why would we need to abandon the constitution,
the post constitutional and adopt all of these radical ideas.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Or adopt identity politics because we've been bring without it?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, and how is that winning? When you become like
the left? How are you defeating the left?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Yeah? So my last question for you, and this is
kind of a hard I.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Mean, explain it to me, like I'm Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I don't know, or or Hunter.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Biden, although he might understand it better. So I don't
know how this shakes out because I know that when
everything happened during like the Reagan years, I think maybe
I was I don't think I was alive then or
if I was, I was maybe like one years old.
I don't have that lived memory of it. I just
know what I read that, you know, that sort of
aspect of the right was sort of drummed out. I
(18:42):
don't know how that looks currently. I don't know how
this this dissonance is handled and where where we go
from here, or how you can even convince people who
are adopting, you know, beliefs like this, How are they're
persuadable to even come away from that your thought?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You mean like the people that have bought into some
of this stuff, yah and uh.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
And are promoting it and perpetuating it, and you know,
are like quote unquote influencers or who freak out when
you mildly correct them on social media.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Yeah, well, the influence. So there's two problems.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
There's the there's the young people who are so susceptible
to it, and there's there's the people who are pushing it,
the young people who are super receptive to it. And
then the cowards in the movement, who are you know,
trying not to do anything about it and trying not
to confront it head on like they should, like they
would have several years ago. You know, there's the there's
(19:35):
this popular idea right now that what's really what's really needed,
what's really needed more than anything, is unity. Uh, we
can't have this infighting. It's a problem, and I think
it's I think it's it's suicidal. Ultimately, it's it's uh,
it's gonna end up depending us. Yeah, it's only gonna
help the left, it's not gonna you know, Like, I
don't think that a lot of these people actually endorse.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
The ideas, the radical ideas, but.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
They've they for some reas and have decided that it's
necessary for us to have unity with the people that
have these ideas. And again, like I said, I haven't
heard a good argument for why that would be.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I haven't heard it.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
There's certainly no good moral argument for it, but I
haven't even heard a good political argument for it.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, you've taken a beating, and I appreciate you with
your consistency, and you've been you know, a good ally
and a good friend. And so we're praying for your
safety and I'm glad that you guys are safe. And

All right, we will seth Dylan CEO Babylon B. You

C Weapons dot Com. It's the KS seven Gen two.
Tell them that data sent you.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I feel like.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
We've seen this movie and or some aspect of it.
A dinosaur egg was unearthed in perfect condition after seventy
million years. Not gonna lie. My first thought was free pen.
They said it's Argentinian. Paleontologists found a perfectly preserved seventy
(22:01):
million year old dinosaur egg during an excavation. They said,
it's a spectacular fine. They find fossils all the time,
they've never found an egg, and they think that it
could hold you think it could hold genetic material. I
feel like this is also a Dave Chappelle's get I'll
have mine over easy, please, like it's ball and when
he did MTV Cribs and they had like legit dinosaur
(22:23):
eggs in the fridge. US car repossession surge is more
americans default on auto loans.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Finances are getting tighter. Wall Street sounds.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
The alarm over the strength throughout the car lending market
is experts worn of potential risks for the wider economy.
They said that they're being cautious, but that they've got
a lot of money getting lost in this. Also, let's
see real estate boomtowns are going bust. It's called a
market correction because certain markets were just super hyper. I
(22:54):
thought hyper saturated, and I thought a lot of stuff
was what am I thinking.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
The value was exaggerated? That's that's kind of how I
look at it. Can I don't think I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Because you're familiar with this industry, I really don't. I
feel like that's that's you know, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We're gonna see a correction, and then when the price
has come down, you'll start seeing the demand co exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
So I don't think that that's anything necessarily to freak
out over Netflix their CEO on the Warner Brother Discovery
biot rumors, they said they have no interest in owning
legacy media networks.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Huh. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Also, Luigi Mangione, you know the guy who stabbed the
healthcare CEO and a broad Morning light or sorry shot him?
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Yeah? Sorry?
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Well, the reason why I said, because I'm looking at
the story about how he got beaten up and almost
stabbed by lady boys in Thailand. He got ruffed up
by a group of dudes dressed as women during a
wild night out in Thailand. Some of the lady boys
tried to attack and there one of them had a knife.
Just interesting facts that come out. We have a lot
more on the way. Stick with us this story. It's
a story of an illegal alien Mexican national named Carlos Porias,
(24:03):
forty four of South Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
He was arrested. I'm looking at his rap sheet here.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
He got charged with assault on a federal officer and
then he tried to escape arrest and then one agent responded.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
He ended up getting shot in the elbow.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
So why was he Well, he has been he entered
illegally and has been living illegally and apparently doing some
other stuff. So I saw him driving his gray Toyota Camra.
They surrounded him and then they approached and gave him
orders to exit the cards submit to arrest. He refused.
(24:38):
He drove the camera forward and back and was knocking
into the law enforcement vehicles. He refused to comply, and
then he drove it more aggressively towards one another law
enforcement vehicle, and they said that his driving was so
aggressive that it escalated to the point that large what's
(24:59):
in the Fidavid large plumes of smoke formed around the
camera and that was caused by the spinning of the
car's tires. There was debris because he was apparently so aggressive,
like he was like throwing rubber off his tires in
all directions.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Some of the agents got hit by it. That's and so.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
What ended up happening is they were trying to dislodge
the camera because he ran in between two other vehicles.
At one point, a federal agent was forced to open
fire because the guy was trying to use his vehicle
at that point as a murder weapon. And they he
could be jolled for up to eight years if he's convicted.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
But here's the kicker.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
The Los Angeles City Council hailed him as a quote
pillar of our community, and they gave him an award.
He was honored and presented with a framed award certificate
of recognition, and they they had a big thing and
(26:01):
they gave it to him. They had photos of them
awarding him. This I am without words, Kine.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I mean, it just is another check on the list
of proof that Democrats care way more about criminals and
illegals than they do the American citizen.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Here's a question, So when do we as citizens get
the privilege of ignoring whatever laws we want to.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Ignore, let alone be awarded for it.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Because I have some I have some that I don't
I don't want to follow. Yeah, and then we could
get awards for it.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
So I want to not also follow laws and get
an award for not following the law. There are probably
like veterans in laws. Well, there are veterans in Los
Angeles who never got an award, and they're probably drug
addicted and left on the sidewalk. But this guy, he
gets a framed award. Look at it's got the fry,
the simulcasta, has the seal, everything on it. Look he's
got the littles all framed. You know, they probably gave
(27:04):
him the frame to he get the whole thing. D
it all pro done? Is that not something? That's the guy?
So he gets celebrated and aworded, and we wonder why
we have such a problem with lawlessness and disorder right now?
What's more so, one of our listeners on social goes
by polygirl in Hennepin County, this is kind of wild.
(27:32):
Felony burglary is now a citation offense, no arrest, no booking,
that's what it is. And this is in Minnesota, Hennepen
County is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So a felony in
Hennepin County, Minnesota is now just a ticket. You only
(27:54):
get a ticket. That's a new thing. That's an ad
that's kind of like what they were doing in California, right,
So they've changed them, and there's paperwork that shows that
these are all being downgraded Bloomington City Attorney, like, for instance,
third degree burglary interests, public buildings, steals, and that's just
(28:15):
a citation. Now there's no arrests, there's no anything. It's
a felony, but now they're not even prosecuting it as such.
You know a lot of these clearance rates for a
lot of these liberal cities, and by clearance rates, I
mean you know where you have these felonious activities, and
whether you get an arrest or you have somebody go
(28:37):
to trial, that counts as whether or not you're clearing
that case, they have dropped so low. I think in
Detroit it's like fifteen percent of the cases that they
deal with. Actually, I mean it's staggering. It is staggering
the structure the judicial system and this restorative justice. There
(28:57):
are so many studies that dance around it. They don't
want to actually confirm that that's what's really driving so
much of this stuff. It is I've never seen anything
like this. I mean, this is it's wild. But this
is part of the part of the issue as it
pertains to the criminal justice system. You have these prosecutors
(29:18):
that are just issuing risk slaps and judges that are
issuing risk slaps, and they think that that somehow is
going to be better in mitigating crime than just enforcing
the law, like for instance, the Glock thing, which we
will be talking about more, where they're trying to force
Glock to redesign their firearms because the criminals will commit
(29:41):
a felony by installing a switch in it, which anything
is modifiable no matter what, and it's not. What gets
me is like, you got I mean for cred outlined,
you know who the criminals are, you know who the
people are doing it. Instead of arresting them. They're making
glock literally redesign their guns. It's like making vehicles redesign
our automobile manufacturers redesign their vehicles because people are stealing them.
(30:07):
You're going to blame the product and act like the
attractiveness and the covetness of it is the problem and
not the law breaking. That's where we are. You're gonna
get more vigilanteism if this keeps up. That's a guarantee.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
