(00:01):
Everything. Give me the power ofthat so the very day I got it
off. Give me the border cookrole, give me the people, give
me the people to judge. Giveme the people who can stop this and
make it work. Run. Sothat is the president at the border who

(00:27):
says that there's nothing else that hecan do at this point, which,
yeah, he's done everything that hepossibly can do. I don't know what
he's done. I don't I don'texactly know what he's done that he's so
tired of. Welcome to the show, Dane Lash here with you recovering from
the plague, so bear with me. Good to be with you. Though

(00:48):
it is top of this first houron Wednesday, and you can listen Coast
to Coast. You can stream theradio program as well, and you can
watch the simulcast the video component ofthe radio show on channel three forty seven
Direct TV. So the I I'mreally, you know, just really trying
to figure out exactly like what inthe world this I mean, I I

(01:10):
just don't understand what his what hiswhole thing is When he says that he's
done everything, he hasn't done,I mean, well, you know,
he he's done everything to not upholdthe law. So I guess that's you
know, I mean, I guessthat's that's why that had I don't know

(01:30):
what, I don't know how elseto put it. I mean, I
guess he's done everything that possible toto not uphold the law. But when
he says that, I mean,it's just he's he's trying to blame Congress
for this, because you know,we have that bill that is in Congress
right now. The Senate kicked itover. The House has to take a
look at it. I really don't. I mean, it's just it's bad.
It's just not it's not a goodbill. But they want to make

(01:53):
it seem like it's it's really ultimatelyall Republicans that are the ones dragging their
feet on this. They want tomake it seem like it's the Republicans that
are responsible for the crisis at theborder, which is so stupid because we
understand, you know, we understandall of this, We were able to
follow all of this. I mean, this is what Karine Jean Pierre was

(02:14):
saying the other day that well,you know, it's just you know that
he's been trying to negotiate with thesewith Republicans on this border deal. And
you know they just audio some bythirteen and listen to this, because this
is exactly what she's talking about here. The first day of his administration,
the President took this issue very seriously. He put forth a comprehensive piece of
legislation to deal with what's happening withthe immigrations. Let me wait, let

(02:38):
me you. You don't get todecide, but you don't get to decide
what I say and what I don'tsay. Either you either you hear me
out or we can. You know, I'll see you on Wednesday. Totally
up to you. Totally up toyou. All right, Okay, I
was he means what he says.Not going to go into the details here.
Here's here's the reality. The immigrationsystem is broken. It's been broken

(03:00):
for decades. Even in the lastadministration. The President introduced this piece of
legislation three years ago. House Republicansgot in the way. They refused to
do anything about it. I don'tunderstand what that means. What do you
mean House Republicans got in the way. It doesn't make any sense. I
mean because they didn't capitulate. Imean, that's the only thing I could

(03:20):
think of. Because they didn't capitulate, So I'm not quite sure what she's
talking about here. But that's simplyjust not true. So the I don't,
I don't honestly foresee anything happening onthis before the all. I mean,
I don't. What are we gonnasit here and do talk about the
same damn stuff over and over again. I mean that there's been a problem
with the borders with Democrats and Republicansfor god knows how long. It's still

(03:43):
going to be a problem even goinginto the elections. Nobody's nobody's they're too
many of the warhawks and the RepublicanParty are salivating over a potential war they're
on, so they don't care.They're looking at everything else. But you
know, our southern border. It'sa problem on both sides. But I'm
gonna tell you what. One ofthe things that I've been seeing, and
I was talking to some friends aboutthis, I don't think people realize the

(04:06):
the seriousness of what's happening in termsof the Feds not providing any kind of
support at all whatsoever to a lotof these border ranchers, et cetera.
I was I can't give out anynames, but I was talking to a
friend of mine who was saying thatparticularly these ranches that are near the border

(04:28):
and that go right up against theRio and Mexico as well, that they
have to deal with not just theseyou know, the caravans that are coming
across, you know, the supertrafficked crossing points, but they're also having
to deal with cartels loading up muleswith drug cash and fentanyl and other uh

(04:50):
uh uh you know what, youknow, different kind of you know,
different kind of drugs and sending itover the border in these less trafficked areas.
And there are a lot of theseranchers down there in the Rio that
are coming across these cartel members themselves. Personally. It's a lot like eighteen

(05:11):
eighty three, or or maybe eighteeneighty three the Yellowstone, which one is
it where you have Helen Mirren andyou got it's like the one where they're
they're fighting the Irish cattle wrestlers andall of this stuff. It's kind of
like a standoff on which the Fedsaren't doing anything. And that's what's happening

(05:32):
here. There's a lot of crazystories coming out about the southern border that
you're not hearing about because there's kindof a media blackout. There was one
piece that I put in your prep. I did a Tuesday roundup since I
was too sick to be on areayesterday. And the story, I mean,
it's pretty it's pretty telling. Imean it gets into how there's this
real life Yellowstone Yellowstone War happening righton the border because you have people that

(05:57):
are going down to the border,but you also have these you know,
ranchers that live there and they're tryingto figure out how they're going to keep
their family safe, their ranch workerssafe, their livestock safe, when you've
got all of these cartel members comingacross the border. I mean they literally,
like one landowner was saying that theyactually were packing mules with drugs and

(06:17):
cash and cartel members were taking themover the border. And here's what's kind
of funny. One of the storiesgoes along something in the lines of,
you know, the cartels are verysophisticated, they're very well funded, they've
got helicopters. There was kind ofthis game of chicken that they were playing
with this one very wealthy landowner rightdown there in the right. I mean,

(06:38):
I think this one might have beenin the Del Rio sector. I
was trying to remember what part ofthe border it was. And I'm not
giving any names out, but apparentlyone of the cartel there were no cartel
members that didn't make it back,and the cartel boss decided that he was
going to flex and show up,not realizing that these landowners got a lot

(06:59):
of resources and they can flex justas hard. And it was quite interesting.
The feds can't do anything. TheFeds won't do anything. They can't
do anything. This is how youget vigilanteism. If you want vigilanteism,
this is how you get it.And I tell you one thing. You
might have the cartel that's incredibly sophisticated, but you've got some ranchers that will
do what is necessary to protect whatis theirs and to keep their people safe,

(07:20):
their ranch workers, their families,et cetera. That's not a fight
that anybody wants to pick, particularlythese cartel members. They're in it for
the drugs and money. These peopleare in it for a hell of a
lot more than that. And thisis what the federal government's setting up.
This is what they're setting up rightahead of an election. I don't think
that they realize how negatively this isimpacting them in the polls. This is

(07:44):
kind of a repeat in some instancesof twenty sixteen. But that's exactly what
I mean. There's some insane stories. There's a protest, there's a protest
convoy that's head into the southern border. Key senators they've been trying to There's
some senators that were trying to worksomething in that bill, but it just
didn't happen. They're trying to pressurethe House to accept it. The Hill
was saying that, oh, HouseRepublicans are going to torpedo the GOP's best

(08:05):
chance in years to pass a borderbill. They just want a border bill
pass so they can say that they'vedone it. That's what they want.
They just want a border bill passso they can say that one was passed.
We're gonna come back to this becausewe've got a whole bunch, including
more terrorists allowed to cross the border. And even Joe Manchin has called for
a national emergency. I know alot of people this whole situation with Iran,

(08:26):
and I've been following this story aswell. Man, What a dangerous
time we live in right, Whatan incredibly dangerous time. So Iran says
that if there's any US strikes excuseme, or anything that happens on Iranian
land. And this is in responseto the base attack that was in Jordan.
They said that they would react decisively. Iran is spoiling for a fight,

(08:50):
but they can't fight it themselves,which is why they always use the
Huthi and they use all of theseother groups to do their warring for them
because Iran can't afford to look likethe soul aggressor. That's why they have
all these militant groups. That's whythey have Hamas, that's why they have
Hesbula, It's why they have theHouthi, It's why the Hoothy have expanded
so much in Yemen just in thepast several years. They always used these

(09:11):
proxy groups and so that's that's They'venever been able to pick a fight by
themselves solely alone, and they wouldn'tthis time either. But this this attack
woof So the retaliatory strikes that alot of people have been talking about the
US is signal that it's considering it. That's when you had at least forty

(09:31):
troops wounded, and then it wasthis base in northwestern Jordan. It's been
a crucial location for troops there,and so they had back and forth again
with the Houthis. We've been goingback and forth with these drone strikes,
and we've got a destroyer in thewaterway. Apparently there was an anti cruise
missile that had been launched by theHouthis yesterday that was targeted. So but

(09:54):
Iran says that if there is,they've warning, they're warning the United States
that they will resp to any kindof retaliatory strikes. Really, I mean,
I think that all of the effort, and I'm trying to remember back
this was I guess in eight ohnine when Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett first

(10:16):
began to telegraph their appeasement policy towardsIran, and how that was apparently supposed
to be some sort of diplomacy.Appeasing Iran is kind of some sort of
diplomacy. Is asinine? That didn'treally work? Did it didn't really work
at all? Huh? Not atall? Because all for all of the

(10:41):
appeasement, giving them, you know, unfreezing their assets, which was part
of sanctions, by the way,deciding to thaw that everything that we have
done, what is it bought us? Seriously, what does it bought us?
The United States has been I willsay, with their with their hesitancy,

(11:03):
I think slowing this descent into awarlike stance. But we're the only
country really acting right now to preventWorld War three with US. I get
it that there's a lot of callof duty LARPers that demand that everybody go
in guns blazing. But you knowwhat that does. That only exposes us
to a major conflict on two frontsbecause you would absolutely almost China, even

(11:28):
though they're not ready. They wouldexploit that opportunity for distracted United States,
and they would act in the Pacific, and they would do it at a
time when we're broke, when we'relow on resources, when we're low on
enlistment, will and any solid objective. It would be disastrous. That's exactly
what Haley wants to do. Haileywants to go into Iran guns blazing.

(11:48):
Her foreign policy honestly is like thenumber one thing, knee number top reason
why I oppose her because her foreignpolicy is from a different era. Her
foreign policy come from a time.It's constructed during a time when you have
forgive me, constructed during a timewhen the United States was on better footing

(12:13):
when the United States had more resources, when the dollar was stronger, when
we didn't have such a problem withenlistment. It was that her foreign policy
is entrenched in a different period.We do not live in that reality right
now. I'm not trying to bea Debbie downer. I'm just being realistic.
We've got a whole bunch of stuffto catch up on because we got

(12:35):
some twenty twenty four stuff. We'realso going to get into the LNG.
I want to dive a little bitdeeper into that because this is one of
the things I was looking at whenI was sick as a dog, still
recovering. So I appreciate your patiencebecause your girls on the struggle bus.
But we're gonna dive into that becausethe repercussions of that move from the administration
are so much more far reaching thanyou ever could imagine. We're going to

(12:58):
discuss that. We're also going toget into the culture stuff. The only
thing more annoying than the SWIFT andNFL overload is people complaining about the Swift
and NFL overload. We've got todiscuss that. Hi. I'm Adriana,
a politics major at Hillsdale College.Here's Hillsdale President doctor Larry Arnt with a

(13:18):
Constitution Minute. America's founders recognize anobvious fact of life. Human beings differ
in terms of physical attributes and talents. Because of this, some people will
be better at some things than theyare at others. But they also recognize
that the tall and the short amongus, the swift and the slow among
us, are still human beings.If we are recognizable as human beings,
and therefore we are equal in termsof the rights that pertain to human beings,

(13:41):
rights attached to human nature, rightsthat come from God. The Decorations
of Independence names three of the bigones, life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. Exercising these rightsis necessary if we are to be truly
free in our own time. Manyinfluential people believe that only government can decide
what our rights should be. Understandingour rights and how the Constitution protects them

(14:03):
is vital to our freedom. Learnmore and get a free pocket. Constitution
is it Constitution minute dot com Andnow all of the news you would probably
miss, It's time for Dana's Quickfive. So Toyota has issued a massive
do not drive advisory over an explodingfunction in certain models. This looks horrible.

(14:24):
They say that it's the two thousandand thirty two thousand and four Corolla
matrix. And they said that fiftythousand vehicles are believed to be part of
this notice. Thirty deaths have occurredsince O nine. It's in relation to
the vehicles airbags. According to theBBC, they save the airbag deploys,
a part inside is most likely,oh goodness, to explode and shoot sharp

(14:45):
metal fragments, which could cause seriousdeath. They literally are serious injury or
death. That's like a mind,isn't it. They said that the recall,
the recall of the Takata airbag inflatorsis the largest in motor industry safety
history. Wow. So like youget into a rack, you actually gonna

(15:09):
have shrapnel flying ont ao'. That'skind of the opposite of what it's supposed
to happen with an airbag, right. The real estate downturn has come from
America's premier office towers. Rents athighest end buildings have fallen and rate of
leasing slows, according to the WallStreet Journal, and they said that this,
I mean, this is I thinkstill fall up from the pandemic.
And also people realize they don't needas much brick and mortar as they thought.

(15:33):
The USC is a huge spike insyphilist cases. The CDC blames a
lack of funding. Are you gonnapay people to not be whore's? I
don't understand. What's the point.They said that syphilis cases are reaching record
numbers. The CDC says the federalgovernment is not throwing enough money at it,
because if you throw enough money atat syphilis, the syphilist goes away.

(15:54):
Did you know that? Yeah,you can paper people's knees closed.
The real thing. I mean atthis point, if you don't understand how
it spread, you're too stupid tobreed. So do us all a favor
and keep the gene pool clean ofyour ignorance. Let's see what else do
we have? Oh? Deep Fakebill is going to open the door for
victims to sue creators. This isreally weird ground. There's the dis It's

(16:18):
called the Disrupt Explicit Forced Images andNon Consensual at its act. It was
introduced yesterday by Josh Holly, LindsayGraham, and Dick Durban. They said
that it's going after the deep fakecontent so that if people are using someone's
likeness to create nasty stuff. Thatthey are saying that the victim, the
person whose likeness was used, couldthen sue for damages. I mean,

(16:41):
I think you would be able toprove damages in some of those cases.
It seems like we have a wholebunch of stuff on the way, including
the only thing more annoying than swiftplus nfl are people complaining about it.

brave, three brave of three folkswho are military, folks who are brave,

(18:55):
who are always fighting, who arefighting on behalf and of this administration
of the American people. Wait aminute, I'm confused. I thought they
were fighting for country. I didn'trealize they were like Joe Biden's own musketeer
group. There. That was KarineJean Pierre and one of the stupidest.
That made me sicker. I'm sick, now, give me a fill in.
I'm just she made me super sick. Now with that sound bite,

(19:18):
I'm would have vomited every well,I'm not like nauseous, but maybe my
throat hurt hearing her talk. Welcomeback to the show, Dana Lash with
you. I'm recovering from the plague. And also I missed you guys,
so I to call my way backin the studio. Wand's petrified because Kane
was sick, and then I'm sick, and then Wand's, well, he's
this bastion of health and wellness protein. Raise your hand if you went to

(19:45):
shute did not? Can I justsay real quick, I'm gonna come back
to this Karine Jean Pierre sound bite. I'm reinstituting my no handshake policy.
I'm doing that because and if youif you're like Dane, what do you
sound like n PR today? Becauseit feels like I swallowed razors. I'm
on Oh my gosh, I'm onroids. That's another reason why I'm really

(20:07):
mean right now. I don't knowif it's that kind of roids, but
I'll claim it. Yeah, I'llclaim it. Someone Chris was like,
that's not those type of steroids,and I'm like, shit, it is.
We're gonna use it. We're gonnause it. But what was I
saying? Yeah, because I wasjust like I'd shaken everybody's hand and not
being a germophobe. And I'll lookwhat happened, Look what happened. I

(20:29):
get sicker than I've been in years, like in years like at least in
six seven years because I decided Iwasn't gonna be a germophobe. So that's
gone. It's gone. Now yourgermophobes back, although I'm not ever wearing
a mask and I'll never get alock down, But just saying, all
right, can I get back tothis SoundBite that just gave us all shaken
baby syndrome I feel, I mean, I I mean, this is I

(20:55):
was trying to read the transcript.Three military folks fighting on behalf of the
administration. They don't fight on behalfof the administration. They're fighting for the
country. Now, I want youto say, Kane, what you said
on break on air? Wait?Can I which what did I say?
Well? She gets away with itbecause yeah, she's she doesn't have to

(21:17):
be affective. She's the black lesbian. Yeah, you can say whatever you
want as long as you have likethe identity, the shield of identity politics,
and you can say whatever you want. You know, all the people
out there you know it's true.I mean, how out of touch can
you be by calling them three threemilitary, three folks in the military,
like, honestly, Press secretary,come on, I mean, it's like

(21:38):
basic stuff that you know she shouldknow. I mean you I it's just
kind of kind of amazing. Imean, these are just like basic things
that you don't just say like militaryfolks, and they don't they're not fighting
on behalf of the administration. Imean, that's that's kind of crazy.

(22:00):
I mean these were I mean,you we have their names, and they
weren't just MILLI I mean these guyswere you had who was it? You
had uh uh Nathan Ingram maybe SpecialWarfare Operator, and then you had uh
maybe Special Warfare Operator first Class ChristopherChambers. Those guys they they had what
a January eleventh nighttime mission that theywent on, and then you had these

(22:21):
I mean, it's just and it'smore than what we've seen two in Jordan.
They've they haven't even mentioned any ofthe other uh, any of the
other soldiers that have been I don'tknow, I mean we the whole thing
with this is I just feel likethere is a lack of seriousness as it
pertains to the consequences of their ops. Does that make sense? Like that

(22:41):
like everything that they that they engagein, there's there's just this lack of
seriousness and uh piety. I don'tknow if that even though if that's the
word I want to if that's theword I want to use, but her
saying I mean it, it's justembarrassing. At least she didn't say Nordstrom

(23:03):
pipeline, you know. But no, our soldiers that we had, we
had Sergeant William Rivers, forty sixCarrolton, Georgia specialist, Kennedy Center's twenty
four way Across Georgia Specialists brand themoff at twenty three Savannah, Georgia.
Uh, that's those were the threethat were in this drone attack. And
then of course you had the otherguys they were down there looking for uh,

(23:25):
the ones that I had mentioned.I reposted about that, I talked
about that on social These are peoplestill dealing with the administrations. They were
dealing with the administration's mess too.And these these soldiers dealing with the administration's
mess. Oh you know, thesemilitary folks, they were fighting for the
administration. That's all. Yes,she should say their names. They have

(23:49):
names. Can we talk about thisstupid Taylor Swift thing? Good grief,
I don't watch football. Why isokay NFL has the highest ratings right now?
Weren't people real mad about the kneestuff. When is it okay now
to not to like watch I'm justcurious, Like I thought everybody was like

(24:10):
not watching football, and everybody's watchingfootball again. I guess people's not taking
the knee during the national anthem.I don't know. I mean, if
I had to pick between burning downand like black communities or you know,
taking a knee and peaceful protest,I think I, you know, choose
the peaceful protest to have less ofa problem with. Yeah, I don't
mind peaceful protest. I just thinkthere's a better time to do it.

(24:32):
My whole issue with the just torecapital quickly because we got to talk about
this, My whole issue with theway it was done was I took issue
with the claim that the basis oftheir protest because you had Colin Kaepernick,
who was protesting as a way toget more attention to himself because he sucks
out loud. He plays like suckingis his job. What is your job?

(24:53):
You're in the NFL? Yes,I suck. That's my job.
It's my whole position. That's why. Huh yeah, Well he's so horrible,
but you know that's he's he decidedto get more attention for himself by
doing the political thing. But hisclaim, his claim was that oh,
it's cops are out there killing blackAmericans. I disputed the claim. I

(25:15):
don't care if people have a youknow, peacefully protest. I thought it
was ridiculous that he was protesting overan absolutely easily proven lie, easily proven
lie or disproven I should say.So. That was my whole thing.
But anyway, everyone was like,oh, we're not going to watch NFL.
Well, now they have like whatthey are, highest ratings ever and

(25:36):
now there's this thing I saw atthe Guardian and I've been seeing people talk
about this online. They're like,oh my gosh, there's a conspiracy theory
Taylor Swift is a Pentagon asset.If a thirty three year old woman who
is still in early twenties heartbreak Landis an asset for the Pentagon, I
think maybe our time has come,you know, the second Fall of Rome.

(25:57):
Maybe our bill's do. But I'veseen are people on the right seriously
promoting this? Are they joking aboutit? Because if they're seriously promoting this,
they are the stupidest people on God'sgreen Earth. I don't care who
it is. I'm sure I knowsome of them. I don't care.
I'm on steroids. I'm sick.I hate everything. I don't care.

(26:18):
This is so dumb. I don'tlike Taylor Swift. I could not tell
you her albums. If Our Lifeand the Life the Survival of Earth depended
on me naming a single song thatshe sings, I really don't think I
could do it. I really don'tthink I could do it. We'd all
die, we would all be deadright now. I can't tell anything about

(26:38):
it. I don't know anything aboutfootball. I'm not even going to pretend
for clicks like I do. Iknow nothing about it. I know that
there are way too many positions,and some of the names seem very suspiciously
made up for whatever advantage on aparticular day whatever. My husband has tried
explaining this to me until he's justhis eyes glass over and he can't handle

(26:59):
it anymore. I just don't getit. And that's okay. Everybody's got
different differences of opinions and likes.That's what makes us this country great.
But whether or not she's a Pentagonasset, I don't understand why. So
they're trying to say that what she'sshe's that they're using Taylor Swift to get
people to vote for Biden. Hey, newsflash, guys, she endorsed him

(27:22):
in twenty twenty. She made cookiesthat said Biden Harris twenty twenty and posted
it on social media. Is thatdo these people that are pushing the Taylor
Swift siye up? Are they unawareof us? I mean she's a lefty.
She campaigned against Marshall Blackburn in Tennessee. Do people forget that? Like

(27:42):
she literally made didn't she make avideo against Marshall Blackburn? I mean Blackburn
won. I mean it didn't doanything. But she's like well known to
be on the left. So Imean, are you surprised as she is?
I mean she's thirty three. Look, people say that I've got friends
who are conservatives and they take theirkids to go see Taylor Swift. Oh

(28:04):
my gosh. I don't care.I don't care. There's so many other
things to bitch and moan about.I do not care. Who cares if
she's going to vote for Joe.I don't care who Taylor Swift votes for.
And honestly, if there is asegment of the population that is more
swayed by Taylor swift than they areactual policy. We deserve to go down

(28:26):
in a ball flames. Honestly,I just I'm at the point where I'm
very dorry about this. But thiswhole idea that she's a psyop is this
It's dumb. This is so dumb. Where did this come from? She
publicly endorsed the guy in twenty twenty, she campaigned against Marshall Blackburn. She's
pushed Democrats ever since she decided thatshe could be political without any kind of
consequence. I don't think she's obnoxiousabout it. I just think she's wrong

(28:49):
and dumb. But she's not obnoxiousnow she's she's not. I don't think
she's crass, and I don't thinkshe's I'm not going to sit here and
excoriate someone just because they differ fromme on a political instance, even though
I totally don't listen to her music. It's not my jam. I'm not
going to sit here excoriate someone justbecause they might vote horribly wrong and they're

(29:14):
dumb about math. I'm not goingto excoriate them for being dumb about math
and not knowing anything about domestic policy, king not at all. You know,
you know, I was just saying, but you made a good point
on break because you were saying thatit's she just has the history of picking
bad dudes. She does, she'sbut she's made a career on it,

(29:34):
so good for her. But sheclearly chooses wrong men for her, and
so her endorsing Biden makes sense tome. Yeah, I mean that that
totally makes sense. I get that. I mean that that's, you know,
this par for the course. ButI don't think she's a skyop.
And I think that talking like actinglike she is just gives that more momentum.

(29:56):
Sometimes I think people on the rightin the left say crazy things because
because they feel like that helps thembreak through the uh oversaturation of hot takes.
Because if there's one thing that wehave too much in this country of
it's hot takes. Everybody's got ahot take. Do you exist if you
have not given a hot take onan issue? I mean, your existence
in the influential sphere is determined bywhether or not you have a hot take.

(30:19):
You know, this is right,here's the it's true. Here's the
other thing with this. The lefthas always used celebrities and bread and circuses
to get out the vote. Thisis not new to anybody who's ever followed
politics. There are apparently some peopleon the right who think that politics began
just the day that they got involvedin it. The question is, why

(30:40):
doesn't the RNC do this stuff?The right cave to temptation from the left
a long time ago. The leftwas always about, let's make this entertainment,
and the right decided to go alongwith it. They made politics a
new form of entertainment eons ago becausethey suck at selling liberty. They have
the product, but they're just theynever got graad at selling it enough for
the life trying. Oh and youcan sit here and say that there are

(31:03):
some famous people on the right,Yeah, there are. You have people
like John Voight, who has toomuch talent and too much of a record.
He has a blank you talent,right, he's got a blank you
body of work. He can dowhatever. Nick Searsy, he's got blank
you talent. He's got a blankyou body of work. He doesn't care.
He can do whatever he wants becausehe's Nick serousy. But there are
some people that I see out therethat I think their star has expired and

(31:26):
they peaked already, and they hitthe ceiling of their talent level, and
I think that as a way toexcuse that or try to claw back some
more influence or notoriety, they makethe claim that they were they were blacklisted
because they're on the right, whenit's just no, you peaked. That's
what it is. You're blacklisted becauseyou're on the right. You just peaked,

(31:47):
dude, it's just solid is I'mnot going to be ignorant, but
you know what I mean. Imean there is some of that. I
can't stand that. When I seeit, I cannot stand it. It's
like no, I mean, thereare some people who were legitimately blacklisted,
and there's some people who are toobig to be blacklisted, and there are
some people who peaked and they alreadyhit the ceiling of their talent and the
potential, and they didn't get takenout by politics. They just got taken

(32:12):
out by time and timing. That'sit. But this is always the left
has always done this kind of stuff. This isn't a syop. I mean,
there's none of this. They've alwaysdone this and instead of complaining about
it, I mean, I don'tknow what is the R and C?
What does the right do to I'lltell you what the right doesn't do.
The right makes horrible Christian movies,they make horrible art in an adjacent economy,

(32:35):
and they put the least effort intogod Rock, which is supposed to
be a form of worship and ministrythat they spend the least amount of money
on. How about that? Oh, these are all uncomfortable things to say.
I'll tell you because I'm on steroids, because I'm sick and I don't
care. You know, it's true, this is all. These are all
true things. Be good, that'sit. No one owes you anything.
Be good, be worthy of it, and don't make conservatives look bad because

(32:59):
your art subpar kel Tech. Ifyou haven't checked out the Sub two K,
you definitely should. And this isuh innovation, one of the newest
things that that kel Tech has introduced. I love the Sub two K.
It's nine millimeter. It's just it'sthis is the Gen three. It's shipping
now. So what it means Likepreviously, if you wanted to fold it

(33:20):
in half, you know, youjust attach your optics and all that.
You don't have to do that withthe Sub two With the Sub two K
Gen three, it's simple twist andfold. It is a patent pending rotating
foe in in either direction. Soand it folds the Gen three right and
half as quickly and easily deploys it. You fold it optics and all,
so you have to take nothing off. That's awesome. And so they've been

(33:42):
uh, this this is really justthe upgrades they've added to those have just
really pushed it up to the top. They also have an upgraded aluminum trigger.
They redesign the mechanics on that fora light and five pound pool.
That means, you know, moreprecise feedback. You get an isolated pole
translating into improved accuracy follow up,all of that stuff. They have a
chamber indicator, They have all kindsof stuff on this thing. And you
also have for now. So thisone ships in the glock nineteen configuration.

(34:06):
That's another reason why I like it. And it also accepts mags from the
glock seventeen. And it's all madein America. Just super awesome design,
everything right here in the US ofA. You've got to check out.

over the weekend. President Biden saidhe's ready to take action if Congress is
serious about solving the border issue.That biller the law today. I'd shut

(34:52):
down the border right now and fixit quickly. And Congress needs to get
it done in another four whoa ooh, so that's what's her face? Joyless
read? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get all the joys messed up.
Yeah, because they're exactly opposite ofwhat joy means. Why is that

(35:13):
give the name back? That's notright, like just you know, welcome
back to the program. So shethat went over a hot mic. You're
supposed to assume that every mic isa hot mic. That one over a
hot mike. She's like, oh, he's going to start another war.
But you know she said it ina little bit of a different way.
Well, I mean, you votedfor it. What did you think was
gonna happen? I love these peoplethat are like, oh my gosh,

(35:34):
I can't believe I voted for aguy who like promised to empower Iran and
wanted to have a war on allof our affordable, plentiful energy, and
also wanted to raise taxes and createmassive inflation. And oh my gosh,
she did all those things. Ican't believe. I can't believe this.
I can't believe. I can't believeI actually voted for this person that said

(35:55):
they were going to do all ofthese things. And I have all these
things and I'm happy. What didyou think was gonna happen? What do
people I'm just so confused on howthey think cause and effect works. What
did you think was gonna happen whenyou voted for a guy who's like,
oh, oh, I'm gonna raiseyour taxes, I'm gonna we're gonna end
the middle class tech. I mean, that's because that's exactly what it was.
Of course, you know, youcan blame the previous president for not
making them permanent. When you doeverything with an executive order, guess what

(36:17):
it gets undone with an ego thatshould have Congress should have moved and that
should have been shepherded through and itshould have been made permanent. But what
did you think was gonna happen whenyou voted for Biden? Good heavens all
right, So a lot still onthe way. Corey Bush, Biden and
Alma, Oh gosh, Biden andElmo. Uh guess what city has declared

(36:38):

Hmm, I wonder, I wonder. I mean seriously, everyone's like,
wait, what city was it?Because so many of them have done that.
So we've got that. We've gota whole bunch of stuff on the
way, including a Montana family thatlost custody of their kid because they wouldn't

spent on mobile devices and social media, it's important to look into the effects
on team mental health and well being. I take this very seriously. Mental
health is a complex issue, andthe existing body of scientific work has not

(38:25):
shown a cause a link between usingsocial media and young people having worse mental
health outcomes. I don't like whenI have to be put in a position
where it seems like I'm defending MarkZuckerberg or any of the tech bros.
But we got it. There's thisis like all part of this multifaceted kind
of like big government thing that Isee sweeping the right, and it's very

(38:47):
evident today during these hearings that wesaw with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Welcome back
to the program. Top of thissecond hour. You're under the weather girl
still I'm on the struggle bus,and go back up. I'm getting back
up there, Dana Last here withyou. You can listen coast to coast.
You can stream the radio program.You can also watch the simulcast in

(39:07):
your area or actually on channel threeforty seven. When am I talking about
direct TV? So they've been havingthese they've had these hearings. They had
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. I sawthis headline Kansas City O Josh Holly get
Zuckerberg to apologize for youth sexually exploitedonline. I saw the had this other

(39:28):
headline where they were who was theOh it's this one they said it was
seeing in Mark Zuckerberg and a contentiousSenate hearing apologizes to families harmed by social
media, saying he's sorry for thethings that they've suffered, or you know
what, parents could I don't know, maybe stop allowing social media to babysit
and raise their kids. I don'tget this. I don't take any excuses

(39:52):
over this. I really don't,because I've raised kids and am raising kids
in this era. I mean,this is it doesn't matter. This is
the a parental responsibility you for I'mjust floored at this. You have to
assume, just like you would inreal life, that there's going to be

(40:15):
sketchy people everywhere, and the Internetis a cesspool of egoism and sketchiness and
exploitation, and there is no amountof government regulation that is going to fix
it. Because it is a directreflection of the people. It's the mirror

(40:38):
reflect it's a mirror image. Nobodywants to talk about it because then they
have to indict themselves. You lookon you look on Pinterest, and you
covet you. You go through Instagramand you covet you. You are affected
by what influencers are selling you becauseyou cove it. I mean, it's
get It plays into every bad thing. Yeah, it can be used for

(40:58):
good. But when you have immatureand I don't mean that as a pejorative,
I mean like literally because of emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
When you have miners that get onsocial media and they are unprepared to deal
with all of these things presenting onsocial media, it's a tricky thing.

(41:20):
That's mom and dad's job to teachkids how to navigate the world. It's
not Mark Zuckerberg's job to teach kidshow to navigate the world. It's not
Elon Musk's job to teach kids howto navigate the world. Where in the
hell do people who call themselves Republicansget off and assuming that the same big
tech companies that they want out ofour lives have some responsibility and also raising
our kids. That's what I don'tget. Why does Mark Zuckerberg go anybody

(41:42):
in apology. I'm not a fanof the dude. I'm just asking as
a limited government individual, and Icompletely real I think it's a lazy I
think it's lazy to say that,Oh well, it's so prevalent, it's
so hard to like, hell itis, it is not hard at all.
Again, raised one child in thesocial media environment, I've got another

(42:04):
one I'm raising in the social mediaenvironment. But I'm not. You got
to step up and be a parent, and sometimes maybe in today's society that
looks like being a tyrant. Thereare parents that I know who are way
more permissive than anything that we allowin our home. Like for my kids
were not allowed on social media whenthey were finally allowed to get like an
account on one platform. I monitoreverything any device they have, that's my

(42:27):
device. Until you assume full andtotal control of your financial well being,
I have the right to exert.You have no Fourth Amendment right in my
house. You have no Tenth Amendmentright in my house. It is a
mom tatorship. I exert control.I will look through your devices. I
will go through everything if I feelthe need to do so. And I

(42:51):
don't have to apologize for doing myjob as a mom. And I also
we've also in our home have setclear guidelines as to what we expect in
the type of behavior. Behavior weexpect and the type of behavior that we
will not tolerate. I mean,you have to parent. It's not Facebook's
job to raise your kids. It'snot Instagram's job to raise your kids.
It's not Twitter's job to raise yourkids. It's some Tipper Gore stuff.

(43:14):
This is Tipper Gore two point zero. This is Tipper Gore facing off against
twisted sister in Congress talking about howmusic companies have to owe some sort of
responsibility to parents, and they've gotto put all these explicit stickers on all
of these albums. That's exactly whatthis is. This is some Tipper Gore
bs sidebar. Excuse me, whywas it Karen and not Tipper? You

(43:39):
know what I mean, like,oh, she's such a Karen. Why
didn't you go? Man, sheis such a Tipper. I'm doing that
now. No, no, no, we're making it happen. New rule.
We're gonna start just issuing rules onthe Dana Show. Here's the new
rule. We don't do the Karenanymore. It's Tipper. Don't be a
Tipper. So refer back to thismoment in time for clarity if it if

(44:02):
it comes up again. But that'sexactly it's exactly what this is. It's
not anybody else's well, like,why are they up there? Where are
they there? You know, apologizing, et cetera, et cetera. If
you're worried about your kid being exposedto stuff on social media, well,
I don't know, maybe don't haveyour kids on social media. It's a

(44:22):
crazy thought. It's verboten to say. Apparently you're not supposed to say stuff
like that, because see, you'resupposed to have the contradictory belief that big
tech has to be out of everybody'slives. And also it was a responsibility
to raise your children. I don'tknow, Like, I don't dislike Josh
Holly. I mean, he's asenator from my home state. But I
just don't know what kind of flexthis is? Am I wrong in assuming

(44:44):
this? Like I don't, Idon't Is this like some kind I don't
get the kind of flex that it'ssupposed to be. Maybe bring some of
the moms and dads that are allowingtheir kids all this on supervised time on
social media before Congress and then maybeI have you know, asked them a
question of Okay, well, whyis it accept well to not supervise kids
being on social media, knowing allthe dangers that are out there. Knowing

(45:05):
all of this stuff, you gotto set your kids up for success.
What they do not learn in yourhome, they're going to learn outside of
it. And I'm telling you I'venavigated this stuff before. I had one
friend who's like, I cannot believethis is like a couple of years ago.
I cannot believe you go through yourteenage son's phone. Hell, yes
they do. You are absolutely rightbecause it's my phone, and by my
good will, his and mine andhis dad's, he is allowed to use

(45:31):
our property. He's allowed to useour property. He's allowed to download things
on our property. He's allowed touse our property to and over the the
uh uh you know cell tat throughthe cell towers, et cetera that we
pay for to talk to his friends. Yeah. Absolutely, you damn will

(45:51):
believe I'm going to go through itat any point. I'm going to go
through it at any point. It'smy right. That's my property. My
kids never ever object did, andI'm and that because it's my property,
I also have the right to remotelylock and erase it if I feel at
any point you are not honoring theagreement, the contract, the social contract

(46:13):
that you entered by way of havingusing our property in this montatorship. It's
a parentocracy, there's no That's whatkids need to learn first. This is
a parentocracy in your house. Andhonestly, and I don't want to sound
like I'm beating up my own side, but you know, I tell you
a lot of this stuff, I'mstarting to see the right kind of you

(46:35):
know, acquiesce and go along withit. This is not a flex to
sit here and go after social mediacompanies because they're not raising your kids.
Isn't that the whole point of whatwe've been pushing for this who day time,
trying to get big tech companies outof our lives, but yet we
want them to remain in and raiseour kid What this is some tipper stuff?
All right? A couple other things, speaking of government and families,

(46:58):
Did you guys hear the story aboutwhat happened in Monte You know this is
wild? Check this out. Sothis was in Montana, Montana, two
parents, mom and dad, lostcustody of their daughter. The Coalstad family.
They got a call that their fourteenyear old daughter told friends at school
that she wanted to kill herself backin August of last year. Later that

(47:22):
same evening, they had CPS.They went to the They went to the
family home to look at the house, interview the daughter. They determined that
excuse me, that she needed totransition to get better. So you know,
she has a body dysmorphia issue.The CPS's responded. Their response,

(47:42):
it's like, you know, ifthey go and they see someone who's anorexic
and they intervene and then they encouragedthem to not eat more. Right,
that's the same thing, same energy. The parents, the stepmother and the
biological dad, the Coalstads, saidthat the daughter had a tough upbringing.
She had some under diagnosed mental healthconcerns, She had attention seeking behavior,

(48:04):
and she had a difficulty in beingtruthful and they think that that caused this
urge to transition and it was overlookedby social services and so they would not
they were not going to allow herto transition, they said no, So
CPS literally took custody of her.They removed this fourteen year old from this

(48:30):
home as a result of this.This is wild. The family, they
were talking to a daily mail andthey said that this has been heartbreaking.
There's a family in Indiana that askedthe Supreme Court to review their custody case
something similar. So the cole saidfamily, They said that they were trying

(48:52):
to help their daughter. They movedto a different school district. She was
bullied at the old one. ButCPS Child and Family Services they said that,
you know, they warned the caseworker that the daughter had a history
of making up some stories. Youknow, she did, you know she
is it to you know, Iheven forbid? You know, teenage girl

(49:13):
be attention seeking. Yes, it'scommon people, it's common. And they
said that she parents were not goingto allow her to transition, so they
felt that it was better to removeher literally from her family home. That's
crazy, and so they were assigneda public defender. They said, play

(49:35):
nice, go along with CPS's recommendations. They took the daughter, took her
to Wyoming and this is CPS.They took her to some one of these
facilities for transitioning in Wyoming that allowsminers to have quote unquote gender affirming care
and like hormone blockers and surgical procedures. They gave her men's hygiene products,

(49:59):
all this stuff, and they movedher to a youth Dynamics group home in
Montana. They allow her to weara chestbinder, wear men's clothes, attend
only boys activities and boys groups,and the parents are told that they're essentially
at the mercy of the state.They're at the mercy of CPS. They
were given custody of this teenager forsix months. Then they were going to

(50:19):
try to place her in the careof her birth mother, who lives in
Canada, who's never been a partof her life but apparently affirms CPS's transition
position more than her father and stepmotherwho've raised her her whole life. This
is what government is. This isabsolutely insane. Now it gets me.

(50:39):
Let me pull this up because yougot who is at greg and Forte.
Who's the governor there? And Iwas reading this because he was saying,
well, look, this was thelaw of the state. You know,
he's basically saying that he defended thestate's decision to move this fourteen year old

(51:00):
and he said that, you know, this is the you know, apparently
this is you know, it's thelaw of the land, and uh,
you know that's you know, pere. He said that he asked the Lieutenant
governor Christen Juris to review the case. So it's like he almost kind of
like slid it on over to theLieutenant Governor and kind of hung it on
her. It's a little weird,but he's like, well, well,

(51:22):
this is the you know, thisis the way that that this that the
case went, this is the thelaw they followed, state policy. It's
a tragic case. That sounds kindof like an excuse, right then,
that sounds like an excuse because that'swhat it sounds like to me. So
they had the LG look at it, and that's he was on Twitter saying

(51:43):
that he said that unfortunately, oursociety you know, finds in it should
it should only be as the lastresort, et cetera, et cetera.
He said he asked the Lieutenant Governorto review it and consult with CPS,
et cetera. Monitor the case.Okay, you're monitoring the case. Who
did he do to In the meantime, this family law. A fourteen year
old girl who has attention seeking behaviortraits is not exactly truthful all the time,

(52:06):
has probably some mental health issues,and you are indulging her body her
dangerous to herself, body dysmorphia,issue, and you are also disrupting the
family unit. And how is anykind of elected Republican going along with us?
And now all of the news youwould probably miss. It's time for
Dana's Quick five. Kane sent mea scary image from clown World and Slack

(52:29):
and I can't get it out ofmy head. Who can I tell?
I went an apology for Mark Zuckerberg? What's happening? Let's hear he?
Okay? So uh the no matter? Oh yeah, I already have this
one. Cops surrounded a dude thatwas all wrapped up in body armor after
he wielded crossbows, sword and ahatchet. This is in Britain, in
an attack on people. He wasplanning an attack on people he knew.

(52:51):
He sounds healthy, yeah, thirtyyears old. He was trying to force
his way into someone's own. Policeresponded, as you well, they were
unarmed, and they showed up.They tried to talk to him, and
then he threatened them. They hada more police who were on arms show
up, like what are you gonnado? A war of attrition? You're
just gonna throw yourselves at him,and like you know, see you need
guns people, because you know whatpop pop that stops right here. Then

(53:14):
you don't have to worry about thisguy no more. But yeah, he
had a sword, hatchet, allkinds of stuff. It took a very
long time for them to contain thissituation because they don't arm their police.
I can't even I mean, addressedas a ups driver invades a Minnesota home
and kills three people inside. Fortytwo year old woman or twenty year old
son, thirty nine year old husband. He dressed like a delivery driver invaded

illegal entrants have flooded into the sanctuarycity in Denver because it's a sanctuary city.
They advertise themselves as being a sanctuarycity, and now they said it's
inundated with these illegal immigrants that havecrossed over. The city's already at the
brink in terms of resources. Theysay they already have seven hundred thousand residents
and they're trying to stretch their limitedhousing. Welcome back to the program top

(55:07):
or bottom of this second hour withyou, Dana lash Here, they said,
Mike Johnson's the mayor is very veryprogressive mayor in Denver, and said
that they're going to have to useten percent of their annual budget dealing with
the illegal immigration issue. They saidthey also have to have one hundred an

(55:29):
additional one hundred million dollars to providehousing, schooling, and healthcare. Well,
you said you were a sanctuary cityand they're all young men. Mm
hmm, yeah, only young men. No women or children here, just
all young dudes. Interesting, Okay, just you lads, then, is

(55:52):
it? Ricky Gervais said they sawthey did see some kids from Venezuela,
a couple thousand children that had beenbrought over by adults illegally. And the
streets at denver A flooded with tents. They said, one business, so
there were two hundred tents on theirstreet alone. That the door to even
their business was blocked. They're notthe only people saying that. There are

(56:14):
a lot they say that the FAI mean, they would just discharge people
in there. They're just out onthe sidewalk. So they're trying to figure
out where this money is going tocome from. Well, you this is
what you wanted there. You saidyou wanted to be a sanctuary city.
They said they wanted to be afamous progressive sanctuary city. They wanted to

(56:37):
show everyone how loving they were andtake all these people in. And that's
what you know, there's so muchbetter than states, like than towns in
Texas because they want to take it. It's what they advertised. Their politicians
ran on these issues. Now they'refreaking out forty or no, sorry,

(57:00):
yeah, forty thousand, forty thousand, and the big influx has been from
Texas where a lot of these peoplehave been transferred to these sanctuary cities they
said they were sanctuary. So there'sone hospital, their major public their big,
big public hospital is apparently hemorrhaging moneyas people are flooding the city.

(57:29):
The hospital has been pushed deep intothe red because they had illegal immigrants receive.
This is earlier this month one hundredand thirty six million dollars in treatment
for which they could not pay.Denver Health CEO said eight thousand illegal immigrants
came to Denver. They made aroundtwenty thousand visits to the health system,

(57:50):
and they said overall, quote overall, these patients don't have medical insurance,
so Denver Health is eating the costfor most of these visits. I mean,
you're especially in life saving or lifesaving situations. In many situations,
you can't be turned away from,you know, an urgent care from an
er or something like that. Youcan't be turned away from lack of ability

(58:10):
to pay. That was a biglie that was pushed around during the debate
of Obamacare. So doctors are doingthe work, but they're not getting they're
not they're not they're not getting paidfor resources or for time. Did no
one think about what is happening here? So they have the head of the
hospital, head of Denver Health islike, yeah, we're at a critical

(58:30):
point. They said, our costsare exceeding their revenues. They said that
they this is they said, thiswas this is going to break Denver Health
is what they said. So theirhealthcare system is on the brink of collapse.
They don't even have enough beds available. They've had to turn people away
because they can't provide They can't theydon't have the ability or resources to provide

(58:52):
any kind of care. And nowit's over. The article that I quoted
was from January eighteenth, out ofover one hundred and thirty million. So
the demands this has come, thiscome and pulled us up. This comes
by way of make sure get thisstory. This is Denver Post. They

(59:13):
say that the Denver health is ata critical point. The influx influx one
hundred and thirty million dollars. Youcan do you remember go back to two
thousand and nine, twenty ten,before Obamacare was passed, and to remember
how people like us who were forlimited government, we wanted portable health insurance.

(59:34):
I'm shocked that some people don't understandwhat that means, meaning it's not
tied to your employer, and youcan take it with you wherever you go,
getting the employer out of the businessof healthcare. I mean, your
ground assdult should know what these thingsmean. We wanted portable health insurance.
We wanted to be able to haveplans competing against each other, a purchase
across state lines, et cetera,et cetera. And we were told that
we were just going to be welfarequeens who didn't want to pay our bills.

(59:55):
Correct, Yeah, that's true.Okay, but what's happening here?
What's happening here? I mean,you have the health system that's being destroyed
here. So Denver is in trouble. And it's not just them. There
are a lot of these so calledyou hat. We talked earlier about how

(01:00:17):
Pritzker was begging Abbott to stop sendingpeople. Well, I mean, you
wanted to be a sanctuary city.This is what sanctuary cities do. They
provide sanctuary. So you made apromise, you campaigned on it. Now
the bill has come due Health andHuman Services Committee related to this, they

(01:00:40):
voted to impeach. Whether it's notgonna happen because the Senate has to actually
take it up. May Orkis Democratsare still trying to blame Republicans for the
border disaster. That's their Hail Marypast. They're trying to say that the
stupid bill that's in the House,it's garbage that if Republicans don't agree to
every because they're spending requests in there. Again they try to attach you funding
all kinds of stuff on this thing. They're trying to say, for Republicans,

(01:01:02):
don't go for it. It meansthat their overtures about the border are
just that performance. And so mayYork As they decided the Househomeland Security Committee,
this is not held in Human Services, but House Homeland Security voted to
impeach him. They had a thirteenhour hearing. It was eighteen fifteen party
line vote. They're going to havethe full House vote take place, but

(01:01:22):
you know, even if they doagain, you got to go through the
Senate. He wrote a letter tothe committee stating that the committee should be
working with the Biden administration on immigrationreform. He said that we need a
legislative solution and only Congress can provideit. Yes and no. I think
that you need to uphold the lawsthat you have, and I think you
need to stop all illegal entry andeveryone needs to be turned away. However,

(01:01:45):
and this is something that Republicans havefallen apart on. Also for those
individuals who want to come to theUnited States, they want to bring their
expertise, they are an asset,would be a great asset to the United
States. Add to the tax base, be productive, and then you know

(01:02:06):
they raise families here and add tothe tax base, be productive. Those
are the people that you want tocome to the United States. And it
has made so much harder. Ihad a friend who is a multi millionaire,
runs a company and wasn't able wentto college in the United States,

(01:02:28):
got our masters, wasn't able tocome back until actually she had gotten married
and then came back because the UnitedStates is the only country that allows for
that kind of blood claim to justget fast tracked into the United States and
get you know, basically immediate citizenship. No other country on Earth does that
because it's all merit base. Youhave to demonstrate excuse me, merit and

(01:02:52):
qualification. You can't just say,well, I have a blood relative here
or I'm getting married, let mecome. That's not how that's not how
it works. It's how it worksin the States. But on their own
merit alone, they couldn't come inand be in. I mean, now
they're American citizens, but they couldn'tcome in and be an American citizen until
they got married. Those are thetype of people that you actually do want
to come in. And when youask them about well, what's the pathway,

(01:03:15):
there really isn't a pathway. Thereis an on average, it can
go up to thirteen years that youare in this legal purgatory, and there's
it's made very very difficult for thepeople that you want to be here.
It's made very difficult for them.Meanwhile, you can walk across the border

(01:03:37):
and you can run up one hundredand thirty something million dollar medical bill in
Denver and that's completely fine. You'regiven free education, free health care,
everything a courtesy of the American taxpayer, and then you're given an immigration date
and an ID and then that's ityour de facto here in the United States.
So when they say that there isn'tthere's a very there really isn't a

(01:03:59):
way for people to do it.The valuable people that you want, the
people who actually do honor the law, and they just don't come over.
If that's not entirely inaccurate. Toblame it all on Republicans is stupid because
Democrats have exploited this so that theycan control people of lesser means at the
border, and that's been all bydesign. So MAJORCIS isn't being entirely forthright

(01:04:25):
and honest there. I mean,are you shocked that he you shocked?
I mean, of course he is. Of course he's not going to be.
But that's the big problem. Andthe RNC has no way of dealing
with us. They have no wayof handling this, They have no way
of talking about it. I mean, right now, we're going into an
election cycle and this is going tobe this is a major issue, and

(01:04:45):
they should be everywhere messaging about this. I've told you how the Republican parties
broke. Here we are not evennine months out, two hundred and eighty
some days before the election. Donorsare dropping off. The main political action
committee for Joe Biden and Democrats areraising money hand over fist. They just

(01:05:08):
I mean, they're shoring up multione hundred million dollar adviys. They haven't
even started their on slaw yet,but they're buying up all of the ad
slots going up into the election periodto shove out Republicans so Republicans cannot purchase
ad time later. So they've spentover two hundred and fifty million dollars already

(01:05:29):
shutting out Republicans. The main pack, the main political action committee for Trump.
The second half of the year,they raised fifty three million. Fifty
million went to his campaign funds forthe fifty million of his campaign funds for
that went to legal fee. Sorry, So he had raised forty three spent

(01:05:50):
fifty on the legal fight. Andyou have two Well, it's more than
that. You have a number ofRepublican parties in a number of states,
including swing states, that are broke. There is this, This is something
we haven't seen before. This issuper bad. This is what I'm warning

(01:06:14):
about, but nobody wants to payattention to it because we're talking about how
Taylor Swift is a SI up.We have more to come as we roll
towards. Yeah, I am,I'm pretty salthy, and look, you
have to also indulge me because I'munder the weather still, so I can
be. But also that's ridiculous.How broke they are. It's his life
mission to make bad decisions. It'stime for Florida man, all right.

(01:06:44):
So a mysterious noise is apparently aggravatingSouth Florida residents. I didn't know that.
They said, this is like South. It's in South Tampa. It
started in twenty twenty one. Peopleare complaining about it. They said it's
like a throbbing bass sound and theycan't yet identify it. They said that
they've been looking that it was firstnoted in late twenty twenty two. Anytime

(01:07:05):
they hear it, you know,obviously they all get on Facebook and they
all talk about it. But theysaid that they're trying to figure out what
it's a strange sonic disturbance and theywere working with a guy at the Fisheries
habitat of ecology and acoustics and allthis stuff, and they said that they
were they're trying to figure out whatthey think it could be. You know,

(01:07:27):
this is crazy. I can't saythis. The Latin name Pagonius chromus
the black drum a fish, aspecies that they think might be associated with
it because it's a drumfish mating noise. That's what that's what they are initially
thinking right now. That's I've neverheard anything like this at all. They

(01:07:47):
said it's like similar to like kindof like the song of cicadas, et
cetera. But they've done a lotof research into it. I have never
heard of anything like that ever,am I Florida? You weird man?
You weird? You got like noisyfish. That's weird. I've ever heard
anything like that before. Never,that's wild. All right. We have
a village's story, yes, okay, I mean you guys. Yeah,

(01:08:21):
a patient lifts his gown while jigglinghis genitals at the entrance to the village's
hospital. Darren Malinsky, fifty one, was arrested after he lifted up his
hospital gown and yeah, he rustledhis own jimmies while standing there at the

(01:08:42):
entrance of the UF Health the village'shospital. Oh my gosh, I and
Steve's like, if I could justbe a fly on the wall at the
village's hospital. No, no,no, and he ope, but it
gets worse. Oh my gosh,guys, I'm not well enough to do
this story. He was asking,He repeatedly asked passer by to passers by,

(01:09:08):
passerby, He's asking to check hisbeans and I can't. I guys,
really, he was asking opinions asto whether or not they were swollen.
I'm not making this the reverse hipor violations. It is such a

(01:09:30):
thing. Well, I think thatwhen you're out there publicly, I'm just
saying reverse hip. But like,no, you don't like, no,
I don't medical. I don't wantto know you're forcing this on me.
Is there like a legal protection Ican so. He was arrested on a
charge of indecent exposure. He wasbooked at sunder counting detentions. Bond was
set of a thousand. They don'tsay whether or not he bonded out or
anything. But that's super gross.Uh. Let's see a U Florida man

(01:09:53):
chuck a chocolate egg at a CircleK employee before hopping over the counter to
attack him. Now I know thatthere's like more to this story, but
what kind of chocolate egg? Whatare we talking about? I mean,
if it was, was it likeyou know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
like like a British one, likewhere they use the good chocolate.
I don't know. John Mayhose,twenty seven, was arrested in charge with
battery. It was at Tarpin Springs. The police responded. The clerk said

(01:10:16):
that the guy was in line,he was about to call him up to
check out. He refused to allowthe clerk to check him out. He
walked over to a different employee througha chocolate egg at the original store clerk,
and then there's some pushing and punching. The guy was taking in a
custody. He posted a thousand dollarsbond, Like why can't just check out
and leave? Like the what isthe matter with you? This woman,
a Florida woman, tried to killa guy over a postcard that he got

(01:10:39):
six decades ago because she got jealous. I'm gonna save this one for tomorrow,
because if you've ever if your wifehas ever had a dream in which
you wronged her and then she wakesup and is mad at you. Okay,
this is gonna go right into thattoolbox. Stick with us. Third
Hour on the way, was allof the data collected by TikTok prior to
Project Texas shared with the Chinese governmentto pursue into the national intelligence laws?

(01:11:03):
Is that country? Senat that wehave not been asked for any data by
the Chinese government and we have neverprovided it. Yeah, but you would.
That's the TikTok guy, now him, I don't believe. But again,
don't allow your kids to get onTikTok. That's the ongoing What is
it these tech hearings that they're havingin the Senate. A lot of people
are getting their b roll campaign footageright now from this, but what are

(01:11:26):
they actually doing about it? Right? Welcome back to the Welcome back to
the program. Top of this thirdHour. I don't know, maybe maybe
excuse me. I'm still under theweather. I've been going through the plague,
but coming back out on the otherside, thankfully. You can listen
coast to coast. You can streamthe radio program. Find us over on
Substack, Chapter and Verse and Channelthree forty seven, Direct TV, YouTube,

(01:11:47):
discussion, Facebook, all kinds ofgood stuff. I'm just I just
feel like, and I've been sayingthis for forever, I get major Tipper
Gore vibes, and I don't understandwhy we have good Republican senator who are
getting mad at tech companies for notdoing the job that parents are supposed to
do. I mean, you can'tsit here and talk about parental agency when

(01:12:09):
it comes to trans issues and thenno parental agency when it comes to social
media. I had some people whogot some stooge got real mad and was
like, oh, that's such alike a white answer. I'm like,
wait a minute, only like whitepeople monitor their kids. Like what are
you talking about? You absolutely likecousin loving racist, What are you talking
about? That doesn't make any senseprogressivism? And someone's like, well,

(01:12:30):
you know it's designed to be addictive. Everything can be addictive. What does
it have to do with you beinga parent? You give your kid a
cell phone and you don't monitor themwith it? The hell does that have
to do with it. That's yourjob as a parent. Stop finding all
these other excuses to grab onto likeweak reads. That's the thing. I
just I'm really confused about this.I just I'm I'm confused about all of

(01:12:54):
this. I worry sometimes about theright because I see, like you know,
I see good Republican senators get intothe performance theater of this stuff.
Yes, it's a serious issue,which is why parents need to be involved.
It's not Mark Zuckerberg's. I don'teven like Mark Gosh, why do
I have to be in this positionto be like, it's not Mark Zuckerberg's.

(01:13:15):
It's just just this should be universallyknown. Raise your own damn kids,
quite expecting a form of welfare fromtech nannyism. That's exactly what this
is. You're demanding tech welfare.Raise your damn kids, or don't have
them. The end, This isnot difficult. It's not an entitlement thing.
It's just being involved thing. Inthe meantime, we have all these

(01:13:41):
issues at the border. We gotthe issue with Iran. Excuse me.
Tomorrow we're going to talk to oneof the guys that works with Texas Oil
and Gas because, as you know, the administration decided they were going to
pause this new any new exports liquidnatural gas, liquified natural gas, and

(01:14:04):
I just there's a couple of thingsI'm looking at because we have this stuff
with Iran, and we have thisstuff now with LNG, which really kind
of can go under the same umbrella. I mean, the all the major
LNG terminals in Texas, the largestenergy terminals in the country, the country's

(01:14:28):
number one producer exporter of LNG,top supplier to our European allies, all
of which were persuaded to cut todisassociate from their reliance on Russian gas,
right, all of them. Theywere told, you don't need to worry

(01:14:49):
about it. We're going to provideyou with LNG. You can purchase it
from us, and so they did, they ab polutely did. And now
it looks like the United States can'tkeep its promises because, excuse me,
we have this now, we havethis interruption in export because Biden's mad at

(01:15:13):
Texas over the border. That's whatall of this is. So all of
the European allies that we had thatwere persuaded to cut their reliance, and
they're purchasing of dirty Russian gas,which jeopardized NATO. I don't know how
you can have NATO as a responseto Russia and then have everybody relying upon
Russian gas. Now we're destabilizing thisfragile independence that they had developed after breaking

(01:15:42):
away from the Russian energy and we'vehelped create now this destabilization. The allies
that we just swayed from Russia's energyinfluencer now learning that they cannot rely on
the US because that's exactly what Bidenis projecting here. And that's goes right
in line with all of this,because this is it's the same thinking.

(01:16:04):
You know, the United States iscalled to be the world police. The
United States is called to be therewhen countries can't extricate themselves with deals with
Russia, et cetera. And nowwe have this escalation of tension in Red
Sea and Gulf of Aden. Dopeople now see the importance of making NATO

(01:16:27):
countries pay for their own self defense? Is per the minimum requirement of three
percent of their GDP? The UnitedStates does not have the ability, the
resource to protect our waters, ourmaritime interests and then protect all the German
tankers and all the Swiss tankers andall of the Dutch tankers and everybody else's

(01:16:48):
tankers. That is welfare to thesecountries. That is not our responsibility.
Where's everyone else protecting their interests?Why is it where the saudis at,
Where's the Arab League? This isliterally their backyard. Obama, Biden,
excuse me, and al Biden Harriswould have us be nothing but reduced to

(01:17:13):
some sort of tool of attack.I don't know, in this forever proxy
war worth Iran. I mean,never forget that. Chuck Schumer. I
remember back in two thousand and three, he was pitching the idea of another
draft, and this time it justwon't be the Suns. It'll be your
daughter's drafted too. All of this, all of this is all related.

(01:17:34):
It's a lot on deck for twentytwenty four. But this issue with the
energy, this is one of theeasiest things, one of the most because
we have so much of it.It's a replenishing clean Our extraction methods are
the cleanest in the world. Andyet here we are, for absolutely no

(01:17:57):
good justification at all, suspending newexports of US and it's just destabilizing the
area further. And now we havethis ongoing in Red Sea and you have
people was this I had this like, I sent this in on the rundown
as well, because you have peoplelike Nikki Haley, who would love She

(01:18:20):
has a very Lindsay Graham esque approachto foreign policy, and of course that's
and I'm trying to pull up mylink here, but I'm having a major
difficulty in getting this up. Butshe's been she's one of those who thinks

(01:18:40):
that it is to strike at Iranianleaders is the way to go. Well,
if you, I mean Irana said, any kind of direct strike in
our geographical area, that's going tobe considered another escalation, et cetera,
et cetera. It's just like theUnited States is like the last it seems
like the only entity that's trying toblow this speed into an escalation and conflict.

(01:19:05):
This is why it's the exact wrongtime for somebody like a Lindsey Graham
Junior aka Nikki Haley to be inany position of influence where it comes foreign
policy or any kind of declaration ofwar. But all of this, all
of this, all of us,all of this is related. How is
it how are you pushing back againstLike, for instance, when you look

(01:19:26):
at this situation with Ukraine and Russia, because Haley was on the probably the
only other time only time she's evergonna be on the program, and she
was we disagree over Ukraine, andthey keep they keep saying, oh my
gosh, Russia is so powerful they'regonna try to fight with NATO, except
they can't even fight Ukraine. Andit's been long and drawn out conflict and
it's been a war of attrition ontheir part and they've had to call up
all the men in their country.It doesn't make sense. But how is

(01:19:49):
it? How is it? AndDemocrats have been parrotying some of the same
stuff. Well, then why wouldyou strengthen them? Why would you strengthen
Russia, strengthen their petro dollar,strengthen everything up by encouraging more reliance from
European nations on Russian energy, includingenergy. I don't know. I'd like

(01:20:12):
to have a hearing on that.I'd like the Republican senators to have a
hearing on that instead of going backand forth on and whose responsibility it is
and why for Mark Zuckerberg? Andis you going to apologize to people who
for their kids getting on social medianetworks and I mean, monitor your kids.
It's a verboten to say. Butwe're gonna have hearings on that,
or talk about the Taylor Swift sideup. We'll talk about that too,

(01:20:35):
all right, So this situation,I'm gonna get into some lawn order.
I don't know if you've seen this. I tease this the deep blue city
that has declared a ninety day stateof emergency over fentanyl. Oh, this
is bad. Oregon governor and theMultoma County Chair and the Portland's mayor,

(01:20:56):
Ted Wheeler, they have agreed toa ninety day state of emergency so that
they can address the public health andsafety crisis that they say is being driven
by fentanyl in Portland's central city.It's bad, they said that they've never
seen and remember they didn't they decriminalizethis. When did they decriminalize Because they

(01:21:18):
decriminalized drugs some time ago and thathasn't worked out incredibly well obviously. So
they said that they are working withPortland's Police Bureau, the Oregon State Police.
They're doing patrols down straight for fentanylsales. They're trying to do all
kinds of stuff to combat the ovoidaddiction that's now gone crazy. Because they

(01:21:42):
decriminalized drug usage. They were thefirst state in the country to do so.
They decriminalized the possession of all drugs, including heroin and cocaine. And
this was back in twenty twenty.So offenders you get to pay, So
if you got caught with meth,if you got caught with cocaine heroin,

(01:22:04):
you could pay one hundred dollars fineand that's it and then you're out and
just walk. And they said itwas a revolutionary move, and they said
that decriminalizing these hard drugs, itis going to help drug users gain access
to treatment. And they rejected allthe arguments that say, no, no,
no, it's actually going to dothe opposite. It's going to increase

(01:22:24):
drug use dramatically. No, it'snot, said measure, said backers of
the measure. And they said thatthis is this is going to help.
We're going to see a reduced effectin terms of usage and drug related crimes.
And they said it's just me tolock people up for a criminal drug
record. So they had new possessionlimits. I mean, it's crazy.

(01:22:46):
They reduced felonies, tons of themdown to simple misdemeanors for like even possession
with intent to distribute. Everything reduceddown to nothing. And now look at
it now, lek go where theyare now. They're having such a huge
problem. They've had to declare aninety day emergency. Ninety day emergency because

(01:23:14):
it's so bad. Didn't work outvery well did it. It never does.
It never does. Everywhere that thishas been tried, it has never
worked out the way that they saythat it's going to. It's never They've
never had a reduced usage. Theythey haven't had an they have never had
reduced crime, none of it.So's anybody shocked. They had command centers

(01:23:34):
that they're having to set up toquote refocus existing resources on targeting the problem.
So they went from We're just gonnalet everybody do whatever drugs. Now
they're doing like block by block patrols. Now it didn't work. Not surprising.
Now, in addition to this,I'm pretty sure you guys have seen.

(01:23:58):
We're gonna get into it. We'vegot some more stuff coming up.
But there was a video that wasreleased should a large mob of illegal aliens
who brutally attacked to NYPD officers Saturdayin your time square. Everybody's been released
without bail. You know, nothingmatters anymore. It's a lawless country.
And now all of the news youwould probably miss. It's time for Dana's
Quick five. So a man accidentallyhanded police during a random breath test a

(01:24:25):
bag of cocaine makes sense. He'sbeen stung with drug charges after he accidentally
handed police a bag of what theybelieve was cocaine during a random breathalyzer test.
The driver of a white massa utilitywas stopped by a highway patrol over
random breath test. He was askedto produce his license, and then he
accidentally handed over a resealable bag ofwhite powder with it and he kept saying,

(01:24:51):
oh, no, I forgot thatit was there. I haven't used
it. And he tried to say, oh, it's old cocaine. It's
not really new cocaine. It's oldcocaine. I just forgot it was there.
You can't get it. I haven'tbeen doing I haven't done it like
a year. But well, itwas in your pants pocket. Was it
there for a year? Doesn't makeany sense. A guy was arrested for
stealing a truck with thirty thousand dollarsworth of ice cream in it. That

(01:25:13):
is some pulp. That's Pelosi's icecream. It has to be. I
don't know how you can have thirtythousand dollars with ice cream. I mean,
now, excuse me. When Ifirst saw this, I was like,
well, are they talking about theprice of the truck or something.
I don't know, but no,they said that the suspect, thirty five
year old Travis Jones, around ninepm and West Haven, Connecticut, stole
an ice an ice cream truck,took it out of the parking lot.

(01:25:36):
Thirty thousand dollars worth of ice creamwas inside the truck. They coordinated police
along with Connecticut State Police and theywere able to get it. They took
the guy into custody with that incident. What do you think they do with
the ice cream? I mean it'sevidence, right, I mean for real,
Like they can't it's thirty thousand dollarswith the ice cream. They can

(01:25:57):
just like get rid of ice cream, can they? I don't know why
I'm so fascinated about it. Yeah, a guy shoots himself in the neck
while trying to steal a car.Because Joshua Garvin's twenty six years old is
a genius. He was trying tosteal a car from a car dealership in
Tennessee last Friday. He was chargedwith aggravated robbery following the incident at a
Champion Auto Sales in Memphis. Anemployee was trying to sell a vehicle to

(01:26:20):
Garvins took him on a test drive, and the employee told police that he
felt uneasy because Garvin was acting reallypeculiar, he said, And he says
as the employee got out of thecar, Garvin's demeaned the keys. When
the employee wouldn't hand them over,the Garvins then threatened to kill him,
and then they wrestled over a gunbecause he had a gun. And that's
when he shot himself in the necklike a moron. And there you go.

(01:26:42):
And there was a racesource that testedpositive for math. Did he give
resources? Myth stick with us?Craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline,
look no further than the Dana Showpodcast where curiosity meets courage by following on
Apple, Spotify, or wherever youget your podcasts. Since before I was
sworn into office, I have enduredrelentless threats to my physical safety and life.

(01:27:06):
As a rank and file member ofCongress, I am not entitled to
personal protection by the House, andinstead have used campaign funds as permissible to
retain security services. I have notused any federal tax dollars for personal security
services. Any reporting that I haveused funds for personal security personal security is

(01:27:28):
simply false. In recent months,right wing organizations have lodged baseless complaints against
me, peddling notions that I havemisused campaign funds to pay for personal security
services. That simply is not true. Yeah, but that's not true that
she said. It's not true.Welcome back bottom of the third hour,

(01:27:50):
Daniel last year. Here's the issue. It's your No one is saying that
you cannot hi or pay for security, which I do find incredibly ironic considering
she has literally repeatedly pushed to defundthe police. She spent seven hundred and

(01:28:14):
fifty six thousand dollars in private securitysince she was elected in twenty twenty.
This was a watchdog group. It'sa non partisan group. It's the Foundation
for Accountability and Civic Trust AKA FACT. They were the ones that asked the
Federal Election Commission to investigate all ofthis stuff because it was discovered that she
was paying over sixty thousand dollars toa guy she hired who's now her husband.

(01:28:40):
It was her boyfriend. She madehim part of her security team.
He wasn't licensed at all whatsoever,either in Missouri or in Washington, DC
as any kind of security official.He had no security experience at all.
Whatsoever, didn't even a gun.She put him on campaign payroll and then
he stayed on after they got married. And so the nonpartisan watchdog group had

(01:29:05):
asked the FEC, okay, canyou look at these because this is in
the first time that she's been accusedof misusing campaign funds. They said that
these are these payments, this isconsidered an impermissible gift. And like I
said, you can hire people,but what you can't do is hire someone

(01:29:27):
and pay them more than they wouldmake in that job normally. Excuse me,
you can't. You can't hire afriend or a family member for particular
position and then pay them more thanthat position is typically paid in the first
place because of the nature of theirrelationship to you. And that's what this

(01:29:49):
is about, because she you toto pay that much for security and the
guy doesn't even have a license,and that is in DC and especially with
members of Congress, that is somethingthat you have to have a license to
perform certain functions in this capacity fora congressional member. But I mean,
and she also paid what is it, six figures to the Saint Louis based

(01:30:14):
security firm, and they say thatthis is it's above the non partisan watchdog
says that the payments that she madeto her boyfriend I guess now husband are
above excuse me, the amount thatyou would normally pay because of her relationship

(01:30:36):
with this guy. I mean,she's paid him six figures since she's added
him to her campaign's payroll in Januaryof twenty twenty two. And they marked
when she was noting or when herpeople were noting what the expenditures were for,
they were saying that they own,well, these are no payments for

(01:30:58):
security. Then at some point,like the spring, they changed what they
were noting those those those expenses wereand they were just in wage expenses.
So that's she's not being forthright aboutthis. And I don't understand why she
thinks that what did she say,right wing groups? Is that what she
said, Yeah, right wing organizations. She thinks that right wing, right

(01:31:26):
wing organizations have the power to forcethe Biden DOJ to investigate her. She
thinks that right wing groups, theones that are typically the under scrutiny from
Biden's DJ, she thinks that theyhave the standing and the influence to force
anybody, any entity in this administrationto do anything that is such a stretch

(01:31:50):
for them to go, for themto start the process of an official investigation,
and especially if it in a Democrat, there has to be serious evidence
of wrongdoing, which apparently they thinkthat there is. And this is,
like I said, not the firsttime that she has been accused of us

(01:32:12):
or really any other member of thesquad. Now speaking of the UH Democrats
and two standards of justice. Interestingpeace that Hunter Biden's attorney they're still pushing
to get those gun charges dismissed.The Associated Press says that his lawyers,

(01:32:34):
Abby Lowell, are pressing for dismissalof gun charges. They're saying that they're
politically motivated. So again again onyesterday, Hunter Biden asked the judge to
dismiss the federal gun case against him. They said it was politically motivated and
that's all there is to it.Now, remember when they we had the

(01:32:54):
this is like what a couple ofweeks ago, they found that there was
literally cocaine residue. Wasn't it onthe holster? Was he did? Was
it even holstered? Was it in? Was it in like a little pouch
or something? Yeah, what theydescribed as a pouch. I don't even
think that they I don't even thinkit was properly holstered. But they found
cocaine all over it. I Imean, okay, it sounds like that

(01:33:17):
Saunters. Gosh, tell me hedidn't snort off it. But they that
was the gun that was discarded ina trash cane across from a school by
his sister in law, girlfriend,former sister in law or whatever. And
Abby Lowell was saying, Oh,no, no, no, it's you
know, this is just all politicallymotivated. Uh. They said that.
You know that they prosecutors were goingto strike a plea deal in this case,

(01:33:41):
but they're bowing to political pressure.You either believe in the laws you
advocate for you don't. I'm notgoing to get caught up in the whole
back and forth of well, shouldyou know drug possession be uh something to
use as a forfeiture of rite?I I feel like that. Don't allow
that completely separate discussion distract you fromthe main issue here. And the main

(01:34:03):
issue here is that Hunter Biden,whose dad is famously anti gun. Joe
Biden, a guy who has saidhe wants to ban all some atomatic firearms,
a guy who has blamed law abidinggun owners for all of the crime
that has been committed, but throughhis restorative justice domestic policy. A guy

(01:34:25):
who has said you should have toget a background chuck just to get AMMO,
A guy who wants to have anational registry, A guy who would
throw you in jail for the sameoffense that his son has committed. Now,
Hunter Biden expects to be given awrist slat because he's Hunter Biden,
because he's the president's son, andhe thinks that he is above you when
facing a court of law, whichin the very spirit of that is un

(01:34:46):
constitutional, anti American. So that'swhy this matters. Because they are expected
to live by the laws that theywant to enforce and exert over everyone else,
but they themselves don't want to haveto meet that standard of law their
own behavior. And that's the mainproblem. I don't think that if you,
if you're if the same people cannotfollow the law that they want to
exert over you, then why shouldyou be compelled to follow it? Why

(01:35:09):
should any of us? I mean, there's law. A law's strength is
the consistency of application. The strengthof laws also determined by the consistency of
penalty. When someone finds themselves inthe wrong way regarding the law. And
as we've seen with Hunter Biden,this guy has been entirely protected. Anybody
else would have already been in jail, anybody else would have already been declared

(01:35:30):
a prohibitive possessor. Anybody else wouldhave already had the book thrown at him.
But he's special. He gets allthis other additional treatment. I mean,
he's he told on himself with hisbook, and then he finally admitted
that it was his and now theyfound cocaine all over it. I mean,
but they have been going around andtrying to suspend the licenses of FFL's

(01:35:56):
federal firearms licenses for the dealers theyhave, you know, one grammatical error
on a form. I mean,that's a true thing. I mean there's
some stories out there that I'm hearingfrom people where this has been happening.
But you lie on your form,which is a felony, and it's provable
that you lied and nothing. Imean, how long has this been going

(01:36:17):
on? Now several years, severalyears this has been going on. Now
people are not going to be compelledto follow the law if the presidents then
gets a pass and he's going totry to muddy it in the water of
this libertarian argument that you can't invalidateor forfeit your natural rights. But that

(01:36:38):
has nothing to do with this.This has to do with the hypocrisy and
consistency of the laws that they promote, and then what they actually will be
willing to live up to themselves.That's the whole issue here. It's you
have to slolynsky them through this.It's a reversal of their own tactics.
They are believe in these laws,are they don't. If they believe in

(01:37:00):
these laws, then they're gonna throwthe book at Hunter Biden. I mean,
they threw the gun in a trashcan literally across the street from a
school. I don't know if thatviolates the federal law a thirty years something
in standing federal law about firearms onschool premises. But they threw in a
trash can across the street from aschool. There's cocaine on it. For

(01:37:21):
the love, I mean, thisis he and he's admitted to all of
it. Anybody else would have hadthe book thrown at them. He's special.
So don't let this, don't letthem drag you into this whole libertarian
argument with us Now this just cameout from CNBC. A judge has dismissed

(01:37:44):
Disney's lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. They were saying that everything that he
was doing was retaliation. The judgedisagreed and dismissed the case, so DeSantis
wins. He wins this. Now, remember the whole thing with Disney,
they enjoyed a tax exempt as itgoes beyond that, I would say,
tax regulation oversight restriction exempt status thatallowed them actually to skirt their civic responsibility.

(01:38:15):
And that was set up by Democratsand Republicans years ago, and it
was an anti capitalist, very cronioussituation that Disney enjoyed. And then when
Disney decided to go after the peoplewho essentially facilitated that and go after kids,
and decided to get all high andmighty, I mean, there's nothing

(01:38:39):
wrong with revoking the unfair, anticapitalist, cronius deal that they had enjoyed
under previous lawmakers. And when thatwas removed, they kept trying to say
that it was the retaliation that wasbad. It was the bad that they
had in the first place. Sothey had this case dismissed. So their
accusations have just been. They've lostevery single fight they've tried to have to

(01:39:01):
try to have over this, they'velost. That's what happens when you actually
fight a culture where and you winit because now they have to, I
mean they it. Their whole narrativehas just been blown up. So that's
another victory that they're having. Wehave more on the way we've got today
in Stupidity coming up. We're alsowe got to get into a couple of

(01:39:23):
other things because there's a lot that'sbeen happening in the past couple of days.
And make sure that you go andcheck us out on YouTube and Facebook
as while we put up a lotof good stuff up there, and I
have some more stuff that's coming outon the newsletter over a chapter and verse.
Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify,or wherever you get your podcasts,
because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.In just pull up said Eron was behind

(01:39:45):
the attack? What does that mean? Have you seen evidence of financing or
directing anything specific to this attack,not just generally but specifically, So maybe
I need to clarify further from whatLda had mentioned. We know that Iran
funds these groups like katab Hesbala.We know that these IRGC backed militias are

(01:40:06):
the ones responsible for attacks? Aren'tour troops in Iraq and Syria. Beyond
that, we're doing an intelligence assessments. We don't have I don't I can't
give you today that We just knowthat Iran funds these groups like katav Hesbala
and other groups that have attacked ourforces. But I don't have more to
share on as a general matter.Yes, so they are saying that there's

(01:40:29):
no evidence that they were behind it, but then they're responsible anyway. Now
this is after, well, thisis before actually, so this came out
just about a half hour ago.The White House is formally assigned to blame
for the drone strike in Jordan thatkilled those three American service members. They
said the formal well, the firstformal attribution for it. They said it

(01:40:49):
was the Islamic Resistance in Iraq,which is still an Iranian backed entity.
They said that there's kata Ibezbalah,that's that's what Kirby also had said that
it's an umbrella group called the IslamicResistance in Rock and it contains these other

(01:41:11):
multiple groups. They're saying Iran didit without saying that they did it because
if they immediately accused Ieron of doingit, then that puts us on different
footing. They're trying to avoid Look, I get it, they're trying to
avoid war, but you know whatthey could have avoided war by not appeasing
Iran all of these years leading upto this. You know that by not

(01:41:31):
empowering them, by not unfreezing sanctions. Well, I think that with the
language they are Kane, you disagree. You say they're not trying to avoid
war. I don't feel like they'retrying to avoid war at all. I
think that every quote unquote optically theyare. I believe maybe they're trying to
give that optic but I think thatevery step that they've taken up to this
point, whether you look at Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Gaza, Hamas
and all that, and now this, I don't see. I think it's

(01:41:55):
intentional war. Inks they want tomake it look like we have no other
option. But yeah, arm conflictexactly, and so armed conflict makes the
military military industrial complex, which iswhy if they go, oh, well
it looks like it's this group,they're still giving themselves some some plausible deniability.
It's my point, they're still doingoh well it's this group, so
it's not necessary, but they're it'sstill positioning. I think it's all designed

(01:42:18):
behind them, that's framed the timeframe. It's all designed to linden the
timeframe. Oh yeah, so II I bet they feel really good about
unfreezing all of that money, don'tyou think? So where do they get
all where do they get all thiscash at? They can't use it for
bad stuff data? Well, yeah, because they they were told that,
So you know that that's what theMullas are doing. They're going, oh,

(01:42:40):
you know what, we can't wecan't use this to give them money
to Hamaspia. We know their moneyis not fungible, so it's all yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's right,that's right. Yeah, we know
it's that you can't. Fungibility isnot a just for a boat, and
you can't talk about it. It'snot a thing you can discuss all right
today in stupidity can Well it isAlexandria Ocasio Cortes, and like you said
on break, this audio SoundBite iswild. She should have she shouldn't be

(01:43:03):
drinking. She just be making thedrinks, not drinking them. All right,
cut twenty. This is one shesays, And so when we come
here, we talk about schools.But if you close your eyes and put
yourself in a classroom of someone else'sdistrict, you'll see that the challenges are
different here. So this is notabout what we're teaching about European versus non

(01:43:26):
European descent. This is about thefact that the Bronx has one of the
highest childhood asthma rates in the country. And climate curriculum. Oh no,
And when we talk about the importanceof having clean air water, it has
climate. This is giving me asthma. She gives me asthma. Folks,

(01:43:46):
That does it for us today,still on the recovery bus from the plague.
Back with you tomorrow.
