(00:01):
Again, we have confirmed there isone deceased person. Our gunshot wound total
has went up to twenty two andChief Grundeson will provide a little bit more
context to that. Right now,we're still working on a total of number
of victims. This is still anactive investigation. I do want to comment

(00:26):
on the question that I got earlierabout a video of some fans tackling someone.
We do have three persons detained andunder investigation for today's incident. We
are working to determine if one ofthe three are the one that was in
that video where fans assisted police.Our investigators are working with all of the

(00:52):
surviving victims to connect them with lovedones. We are also working to identify
our deceased victim notified their family assoon as possible. So that was just
just horrible yesterday with the Kansas CityChiefs parade and that's law enforcement there that
was giving you the latest on that, and they still haven't released a motive,

(01:15):
and there's there's there's It's weird howthere was such a rush to get
out information and then they decided tothen it then it just kind of went
away. But they're blaming a disputeat the very least they're saying it's stemmed
from a dispute. Honestly, itsounds a gang violence. Welcome to the

(01:37):
program, Dana Lash with you tothe very top of this first hour on
Thursday, and that's the top storytoday. We're also going to get into
some of the latest with the Russiathreat. And it was just so weird
to see so many people freak outover some of this stuff, especially the
Republican who sits on the Intel Committee, and it just seemed like a big

(01:59):
move to push that Ukraine supplemental.But we're gonna get we're gonna get into
all of that. But immediately,these same predictable people who went to go
and who love rushing and they lovepoliticizing tragedies, and they loved doing all
of that, they immediately were outdoing the same thing again, and before

(02:21):
even facts were known, before anythingabout the suspects were known, that's exactly
what That's what was happening. Andso the latest with this, they say
that it was that it looks likeit stemmed from a dispute. It injured
twenty there were nine kids in thehospital, one fatality. Three people,
including two juveniles, were detained,they recovered several firearms. They did not
identify the three people, although there'stons of photos out there that are kind

(02:46):
of showing exactly who was in handcuffsand who wasn't. And so they said
that eight people had suffered immediately fromlife threatening injuries right after seven had life
threatening injuries, six were hospitalized withminor injuries. Eleven children injured. And
some of the injuries too, stemfrom the hysteria that was understandably happening after,

(03:07):
you know, after the shots rangout. But they they had a
forty year old Wichita man who tackledthe the murderer and he was restraining his
hands. He said, I startedhitting him in the ribs and he just
he said, he just did it. Was doing everything he could just to
neutralize him. And this was himtalking to the press. His audio sound

(03:29):
bite four. One guy was hollering, saying, you know, stop him,
chay r, catchum, you know, tackle him whatever, and he's
just just bail and running. AndI had no rocker that guy hollering.
So I'm just like, okay,well I'm right here, and I just
I did never think about it,just a reaction. I didn't have to

(03:50):
tell you, it was just justdo it. So I went to go
tackle and an other gentleman did thesame thing. And as I'm tackling him,
I see his weapon either fall outof his hand or out of his
sleep because he was wearn't a longjacket or like a car heart. So
when I seen that hit the ground, I'm like, oh, you know,
we got to take this guy down. And so, like I said,

(04:12):
I did, and another good Samaritandid, and we held him down,
and it seemed like forever, butit probably was. I was like
thirty seconds holding him down, andme and the other gentleman and hollering at
ongovers you know, where's the copswere, you know, get the cops
over here, Get the cops overhere. You know, we got them.
Yeah, And now I mean,I mean, I'm glad they did

(04:35):
something. I'm glad that he wasable to neutralize the threat. What gets
me, though, is the argumentthat I'm hearing from so many of these
anti gun folks, and we're goingto dive into some of this, like
oh, well, you know itall the police that were there and they
didn't stop it because you have tobe your own first responder. Really,
you cannot count it. I mean, you're making the argument for everyone,
but I it was. I meanit's pretty immediately they started in before we

(05:00):
knew anything. And like I said, it's fascinating to me how it was
wall to wall coverage and understandably so. But then it's gone today, it's
entirely disappeared. Everybody's talking about thisFanny Willis trial. I'm gonna be honest
with you, the trial of herlover. I don't care if you're looking
to me to give you minute byminute updates about this trial. I don't

(05:20):
care. I'd rather literally peel myown skin with an apple core than I
would cover that, because it's tome, the one eighty that they did
on covering this story coming out ofKansas City is amazing now. And I
covered this case in my first andmy first actually and second book on how

(05:46):
much the police are allowed to orhow not allowed the legal requirements of protecting
your life as it pertains to policeprotection, and a lot of people I
think, well, well, we'regoing to dive into it. I want
to touch on some of this otherstuff, but we're going to dive into
all of this stuff. Also,the Russia threat, this is kind of
this is crazy. This was happeningliterally yesterday as we were what was it,

(06:10):
we were in like the third hourof the program, I think when
it came out, and they hada briefing in the skiff yesterday House members.
And now you have a speaker Johnsonsaying there's no need for public alarm.
Now what he's saying is entirely differentfrom what you had some of these
other lawmakers saying, including the RhinoMike Turner who's on the House Intel Committee

(06:30):
and Mike Rhino from Ohio, ishe's a Rhinos. This is the guy
who's voted for Ukraine spending. Thisis the guy who's voted for all of
it. And this guy coming outand being as I think it was absolutely
responsible for him, as a lawmakerand as a public person and as a
thinking adult to come out and beas hysterical as he was and get everyone
to freak out and worry. That'sridiculous. I can't stand that kind of

(06:55):
drama. And politicians should be publiclyflogged for trying to incite his hysteria into
the American people. It's insane.And Johnson said, quote I saw Chairman
Turner's statement on the issue, andI just want to assure the American people
there's no need for public alarm.That's what he told everyone. He's like,
we're going to work together to addressthe matter as we do all sensitive

(07:17):
matters that are classified, so they'renot declassifying anything. And he's just he's
he's i mean, very politely slammingTurner there saying no, no, there's
no need, there's no need forthis. So I it seems as though
it was kind of overblown, doesn'tit. Well, they were saying what

(07:38):
that they had space weapons, right, rail guns and all kinds of stuff.
Maybe they have all that that wasI mean, there was a lot
of there was a lot of hysteriaover it. And then there was this
one speculation, speculative theory, thistheory that was going around on social media
where they were saying, oh,well, did Russia take out a US
satellite? Oh, there was asatellite that fell off the coast of Hawaii,

(08:01):
you know last week. I Idon't I hear to see all kinds
of theories, but yet little conference, all I know is that you can't
trust anyone, and I'm sure isI'm not gonna trust a guy who has
pushed Ukraine funding and funding for Gazaand everything else above that of our own
border. I'm not gonna trust thehysteria coming from a guy like that.

(08:24):
So that's but Johnson says, look, there's no need for public alarm.
He says that it's not He saidthat people should not panic. That's unequivocal.
That's what he told reporters in astatement just yesterday evening. He said,
yes, he said that they're goingto discuss it, and it's something
that it's a product of the HouseIntelligence Committee. He had said. But

(08:46):
he said that there's no need forpeople to panic. And he just sort
of seemed like he wasn't trying tobe insulting about people's concern but I but
he did seem a little bit miffedthat perhaps Turner had was so hysterical when
he went up when you and releasethis statement about it, because it was
it was irresponsible. I just I'ma little bit I don't know. I

(09:07):
say, nothing shocks me anymore.So in addition to this, you have
you've Tucker Carlson over and he wasreleased these videos where he was talking about
the Metro, the subway system inRussia, as you guys see this,
Like, he's been releasing these littlevideos where he's talking about all of this
stuff. And I was watching thisvideo that he did where he was he

(09:30):
was in the subway system and he'smarveling at how pretty it is and that,
no, there's isn't a subway inthe United States that is this nice
and this clean, and that isthis beautiful. And I was thinking about
the history of that particular subway stationthat he was in, the history of
it's quite interesting because it was builtby Stalin and of course, you know,
Russia's being a heavy handed, tyrantcountry. I think the areas where

(09:54):
they're going to have tourists are areaswhere they want to make it look nice,
like you know North Korea does.They want to make it looks super
nice and super clean and everything runson time, because there are certain things
that they do prioritize, you know, maybe a little bit over the well
being of their people. But thatmetro station that Tucker was in an employing

(10:16):
because I actually had read something aboutthe labor that Stalin's Russia imported in from
the West. And I had actuallyread a few weeks ago a whole thing
on this and I just thought,huh, the timing of that is so
amazing. So he's at the subwaystation in Moscow. The subway station was
built by Stalin, and it wasdesigned and mostly built by craftsmen that they

(10:41):
brought in from England. So Russiarelied on the capitalistic West to bring in
all of these architects and these thesetradesmen and skilled laborers because they apparently didn't
trust their own talent and Russia,they entirely brought in designers and labor from

(11:05):
London, and they relegated specifically theMurals and a few other basic things to
their Soviet employees. So I justthought that was kind of interesting that he
left that out of the video,because it's a beautiful subway station, but

(11:26):
it was built by the West.It was designed by the West. It
was conceived and brought to fruition bythe West. And here's what's interesting.
So as these British contractors and designersand architects, as they're building this beautiful
subway station for Stalin's Russia in Moscow, they were accused upon completion of being

(11:52):
spies and a lot of them werejailed. Can you imagine like they were
brought their architects, their designers,there, consultants, you know, all
of this stuff. They jailed them, they jailed them, They put them
in jail because they said that theyknew since they were they were They charged
them with espionage and said that theyknew too much sensitive information about their transit

(12:13):
system. But you brought them into design it. That's what Russia did.
So if if you want to marvelat Moscow's subway station that was built
by Stalin, you're marveling at acreation entirely of the West that the West
conceived, the West built, andthe West implemented. So I thought that

(12:37):
was a fun history about that trainstation. Interesting. We have a lot
more on the way, including headlinesto get into because it's and then of
course we've got days of these UnitedStates. We got updates about Israel.
We also have all of the latestwith this shooting our partners over at gold
co. This is a great wayto just really kind of give yourself a

(13:00):
little bit of extra protection in thisvery chaotic economy right now, and the
gold ira field can seem pretty confusing, and it's tough to find a precious
metals company that you feel that youcan really trust. That's not easy.
So this is why you should checkout gold Code because the stuff that they
send you they have this education firstapproach, and so the information they provide

(13:22):
is very thorough, so one ofa kind gold ira kit for individual buyers,
and it explains in minute detail theeconomy and how gold diras work.
And I mean, it's why youneed to do what I've did. Add
gold and silver as a hedge againstinflation with gold Code, because that's going
to give you a little bit moreprotection against the endless spending and printing on
money by the government. But goldCod's goal is to make it easy for

(13:43):
you to get the benefit of owningphysical gold or silver. It's an important
part of your overall retirement and savingstrategy. They have fantastic customer service,

for Dana's quickfive. Interesting. SoGeorge Soros is his fund is poised to
take control of the nation's second largestchain of radio stations, two hundred and
twenty stations nationwide. According to courtfilings, Source Fund Management has bought up

(14:31):
four hundred million dollars of debt inOdyssey, the number two US radio broadcaster
behind iHeartMedia. You know his sonis dating Juma Abidin. I just need
to say that because I still don'tbelieve it. Anthony Wiener. I was
the one who broke that story forAndrew Breibart when he was alive, and
Anthony Wiener accused me of hacking hisTwitter account. So I just need to

(14:52):
say it again. Homa Abidin isdating Alex Soros, Georgia's son. That's
so weird to me. How weirdis that? Like those people ever get
away from each other? Okay,I got more headlines for you, but
we could sit here and spill teelegit all day. The House Homeland Security,
the House Homeland Insecurity chair of thatsubcommittee, Mark Green is such a

(15:13):
retire he says he wants to goout with a win after impeaching Majorcis.
I mean he has a good point. I kind of like these kids that
are like, yeah, I'm done. I don't believe in term limits because
it's the voter's job. But Ido like the dudes you like do it
themselves. You know what I'm saying, Like, Okay, all right,
I appreciate that. You know,I get I get you. I appreciate
it. Uh, let's see hereooh, cosmos history made. Scientists have

(15:37):
discovered water on asteroids for the firsttime. Is it going to hit Earth?
That's all I care about. Ijust just knocked this rock out of
the Solar System because I'm done.Let's I'm done with all the craziness.
But they say that they've identified andI don't get like super excited. It's
not like they found a pond orsomething. But they did find molecular water

(15:58):
on two I look run and asteroidsKane, Iris and Massalia using the instruments
some sort of telescope that they callSophia and something about what I just don't
Are there aliens? Is there water? Is there animals there I can eat?
That's what I want to know.I would love to grill up a
sprite a space creature if it's notcute enough to have as a pet and

(16:19):
it's not like a bug, thenI will totally put that on a barbecue.
Yeah, I'm curious enough. Yeah, Like, I mean, what
if there's like an alien meat outthere that's like has all the benefits of
like, you know, fish,but it's a red meat and taste like
steak. I mean, there's aFuturama episode about that. It probably is.
You know, your meme is bad, you should feel bad. Let's
see apes typicens of humor just likehumans. I believe that because they're hysterical

(16:42):
and they I mean, there's anew study that's coming out of Germany.
They published it in some journal,but they said, yeah, an international
team discovered specifically four species orangutans,chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. I
don't like the bonobos. They're they'reall skanky, but they engage in playful
teasing and jokes with one another.Funny stick with us. More in store.

(18:36):
shooting in Kansas City? You're concernedabout the news their weapons. Thanks good
for information about about the shooting.I don't have it all. I haven't

(18:57):
later crime. That's Biden, Hewas asked about the UH shooting in Kansas
City. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you. Bottom
of this first hour. You canlisten coast to coast, you know,
until we gotta gets shut down bySoros who knows you can strain the radio
program, and you can watch thevideo simulcast on channel thirty forty seven Direct

(19:21):
TV as well as YouTube. Alwaysgood discussion and Facebook that this this shooting
in Kansas City and there It's realweird how the media was. It was
wall to wall coverage, and thenit's like, as soon as it became
known maybe kind of who the suspectswere or you know, some of the
other facts of the case or ofthe incident came out, the tragedy came

(19:42):
out. It's like, now themedia didn't really want to talk about it
because I've seen people sitting in handcuffs, you know, on street corners and
that, and apparently they said twoof these people were juveniles. They I
mean, I just I nobody knewwhat the facts were before they started running

(20:03):
out and losing their minds about stufflike you have them calling for gun control
now and they need more gun guncontrol restrictions, et cetera, et cetera.
And there was this one guy.He ended up blocking me. This
one guy. I'm not gonna sayhis name because this would be more attention
than he ever had in his everloving life. But he's like some Cardinals

(20:23):
writer or whatever. At I thinkit's like what kmov in my hometown of
Saint Louis right, And he wassaying that, oh, we need to
have gun control restrictions, and hewas basically saying that everybody who's you know,
doesn't support gun He's a Cardinals writerat KMOV, and people who don't
support all this stuff, Oh mygosh, you're just you know, horrible

(20:44):
people, et cetera, et cetera. And a friend of mine who's in
broadcasting had ce seed me on somethingthat she had said with him or said
to him, and uh, Ijust simply said, you know, define
assault weapon, because he was like, ban all the saw weapons. Now,
I am so tired of that termbeing used. And it's not me
policing the language. What these jackwagonsneed to understand is that the language,

(21:07):
the specificity is important because it invokescertain parts of the law that could determine
whether or not you get a fifteenhundred dollars fine or fifteen years in prison.
That's why specifics count. And ifthese people who only engage in this
concern theater in order to clout chaseon social media, and let's be real,

(21:29):
none of these people give a ratsass about the lives of any of
these folks in any of these citiesor any of these tragedies that have taken
place. They care about looking likevirtue signalers and they clout chase on social
media. And why do I knowthis Because these people are entirely absent when
it comes out that, oh,a repeat offender got a risk lap in
Kansas City, another repeat offender gota risk lap in Saint Louis. Another

(21:52):
repeat offender was able to just walkwith no cash bail in New York.
These people are always absent when itcounts at the very German nation of this
tragedy, because it's always somebody whois known, It's always somebody who's got
a record, It's always someone whohas numerous warning signs. And it doesn't
take a due process eroding red flaglaw to see it and do something about

(22:15):
it. And I'll be damn ifI hear another one of these morons blame
an innocent, law abiding gun owner. Alec Baldwin has killed more people than
I have tired of it every day, you know, last yesterday, and
I don't want to make this aboutme, but I want to tell you
how nuts gun control people are.Yesterday it was the first time in six

(22:37):
years that I went out for Valentine'sDay right after the horrific and my friends
who lost children in Parkland I can'teven imagine what they deal with every single
day, especially on Valentine's Day.But people were outright nasty if we went

(22:57):
out in public on Valentine's Day becauseof that. So I just stayed home.
We just never did anything. Andthese people, they have so much
energy to be nasty. But whereare they when it counts? These two
juveniles? How is that my problem? How is it your problem? How

(23:17):
is it the deer hunter's problem insouthern Missouri who maybe carries to work and
has a rifle in his truck andenjoys turkey hunting, a deer hunting?
How is it his problem? Whatabout the mayor who wanted to defund the
police? I mean there's audio ofhim. This is what audio some by

(23:41):
fifteen. This is Brandon Johnson.Well, this is Chicago. Don't we
have the other? Do we haveanother mayor? Do we have the mayor
of Kansas City who's going on?Mayor of Kansas City wanted to defund the
police. He was on video sayingthat just a couple of years ago.
Do you know that Kansas City hasbeen run by Democrats for what how many

(24:08):
decades? Five decades? Kansas Cityhas had a Democrat, mayor Democrats,
city council democrat everything for years andyears and years, same people who select

(24:33):
the chief, et cetera. Imean, you got to ask yourself a
question, what is happening in thesecities Missouri. They're like, oh,
Missouri is you know, tops forgun death? Oh my goodness, it's
a Second Amendment sanctuary state. Okay, tell me that you don't understand how
legislators state legislatures work. Without tellingme that you don't understand how state legislatures
work. It was essentially a resolution. It has no legal binding, but

(24:56):
it is a statement. I mean, we've covered that some of these people
need extricate heads from backsides and learnedcivic responsibility and just basic one oh one.
Any the crime rate in Missouri isdriven by Kansas City and Saint Louis.
I lived in downtown Saint Louis.This isn't my truth, It's the
damn truth. I lived in downtownSaint Louis. I lived in McKinley Heights,

(25:21):
right across the street from Hodaks.I lived there for a number of
years. I worked my The radiostation that I started at was in Union
Station, and so I had Ilived real quick drive. My husband worked
literally down the street. We neededto be by where our work was.
Our kids were homeschooled. We werepart of Saint Louis Fantastic Saint Louis Home

(25:41):
School and community. But I livedin downtown Saint Louis. I saw first
hand the restorative justice rot in thatcity. And it's not unique. It's
just like Kansas City. My neighborsand I love my neighbors. We were
we had a very diverse street andthen we had a cousin that rented a

(26:06):
house two doors down. We hadthis old brown stone on the street that
we lived on on McKinley Heights.Love my neighbors. We all looked out
for each other. Then there therewere some folks that got to that that
were that started running drugs from theirhouse at the end of the street.
And I don't know what it was, but I mean the neighbors got because

(26:26):
my kids would play with the neighborhoodkids and they'd ride their bikes or sometimes
they do they'd they'd skate up anddown the street and I would go out
there with my side arm open carry, and I would make sure everything was
cool and the neighbors would not allowtheir kids to go outside unless they saw
me out there carrying because they knewthat I will literally drag somebody if they
try to messing in with any ofthese kids. And there was only one

(26:48):
instance where somebody I guess was gonnago and you know, get some drugs
or something down the street and theythought it was going to be smart speeding,
you know, up the street,and they got an earfull from me
and I'm like, you might thinkthat your city. I'm from the Ozarks.
Did you see the Langamore's on OzarksBecause that's my fam Damly, all
right, we're the real FAFO people. Do not. We got family that

(27:15):
has pig farms, so don't.And so they they didn't ever come near
our end of the street. Andthey apparently the word went out, if
you see that crazy lady outside,you stay away from her, and you
just you come and get your drugs. At the other end of the street.
We called the police. The policewould arrest them and they were right

(27:37):
back out of One of the peoplewho I guess lived at the house for
a while because it was a drughouse. One of the people who lived
there was involved in shooting in NorthSide and then, you know, and
we'd get home from work. I'dget home from broadcast, and because it
was a nice wheet tree, wenever had no issue. You're gonna have
issues everywhere. But I liked ourneighbors. I liked, you know,

(28:00):
I like being able to see thefireworks at the I loved our homeschool community.
I loved, you know, welive right Brod the brewery. Could
smell the hobs in the evening,and our neighbors. We'd get home and
our neighbors they'd you know, behaving a glass of wine or something on
their front porch, and we'd goout. We'd all talk and they're like,
yeah, that the one who hadgotten pot for havn't been involved in

(28:22):
the shooting. Horse site out withintwo days, out within forty eight hours.
All the neighbors we're all talking about, how, oh my gosh,
they just keep arresting and re arrestingthe same folks over and over again.
There's no penalty, There's never apenalty. It happened over and over again.
That's what drove crime. Some ofmy neighbors would leave and they'd they'd

(28:42):
move to the suburbs because they weretired of the city not enforcing the law,
or whether if it wasn't an issueof enforcement. They got tired of
the judges, the corrupt judges,and these stupid corrupt das letting law enforcement
hang and just letting these cats backout on the street, and that was

(29:06):
enraging. Are the folks on mystreet. We all appreciated the police,
and we also knew that it wasn'ttheir responsibility if the DA wouldn't bring charges,
or if they reduced charges, orif these repeat offenders got let off.
But what a statement that I hadto open carry before my neighbors felt

(29:29):
comfortable enough for their kids to comeoutside and play. That's Saint Louis,
That's what that's that's I lived inthe city. So when I see some
of these people out here saying,oh, well, this is you know,
this is the this was a resultof like the Brady group. Woman,
please let me tell you something thatthe responsibility of this is all the

(29:55):
damned Democrats. Y'all keep supporting anddonating to the same decade of a decade
after decade after decade, Democrat mayor, Democrat, city council, democrat handpicked
chief, not elected, same thing, over and over again. Then you
get the Democrat corrupt eais, theDemocrat corrupt judges, and then you wonder
why, you wonder why crime isincreasing. I can pretty much tell you

(30:22):
that's exactly what is happening in KansasCity. That's exactly it. That's what
is happening in Kansas City right now. Two juveniles. Now they said that
there was what a rifle involved,maybe, but there was also maybe a
handgun. How did juveniles get ahandgun? How if they were not,
how were they walking around with orhow old were they? Good grief,

(30:48):
This has to do with parents notraising their kids. You're not gonna disarm
me because you raised a criminal.There's just so much of this audio soundbody
ate, this was one of theseCNN stoes. I don't even know who
this is, but this is thatSecond Amendment sanctuary thing that they got wrong.

(31:10):
Listen to this. Their rationale andof course this is part of the
Republican Party platform. Now, theirrationale is, let's make it as easy
as possible for people to get guns, so people are armed. When these
things happen. We see how quicklythey happen, We see that police are
on scene. It's not necessarily aguarantee and maybe not worth rolling back all
of our guns. So this lady, I mean, Missouri is a Second

(31:32):
Amendment sanctuary state. So they actuallythey passed a law a couple of years
ago that seemed to prohibit federal andstate law enforcement officials from working together on
cases that might be This is JenniferMascia. She's a moron and she's with
the TRACE, And I just thinkthat if you're going to go on television
and purport to be an expert onsomething, then maybe you should have a
basic grasp of facts. It wasa resolution that was passed and all it

(31:56):
says is that you cannot sit herein commandeer state sovereignty and demand that the
state. I mean, basically,it's like Prince v Us. I mean,
if you know, you want togo ahead and have that debate on
the supremacy clause as it relates tostate sovereignty. But I digress. I
know more about this issue than thepeople at the TRACE, and I've lived
in this state. These are peoplewho it's a Bloomberg funded entity, and

(32:17):
they try to pass themselves off asombudsmen for gun control or Second Amendment advocacy,
and they're all paid anti gun lobbyists. That's exactly what they do.
And of course, you know,I just think naturally, if you're attracted
to that line of work, itattracts a certain sort of a lower intellectualized
person. As you could see byher explanation there, then't they didn't make

(32:39):
it. The Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutiondid not make it easier for people to
get guns. They still have togo through and satisfy all of the same
federal requirements that every single state does. That's not something that you can simply
skip. But you know what characteristicsaren't being satisfied is what I just explained

(33:00):
with the das and the judges.I mean, they're not even giving minimum
mandatory in a lot of these sentencingwhen they reduce everything down or when they
do it to a cashless bail.I mean, I could sit here and
tell you case after case after caseafter case after case in my home state,
as it relates to violent repeat offenderswho have gone on to commit essentially
what are considered mass casualty incidents byFBI definitions three or more fatalities simply because

(33:22):
of the restorative justice wrought that thesepeople love to love to celebrate and then
they blame innocent people for the chaosthat it creates. Absolutely moronic. We
got to get moving. We gotmore on the way. Our partners,

Kelce wasn't drunk. That's just pfiser. It's the pfiser. He got phizared,

(38:37):
I texted our general counsel and toldthem I need that gun legislation immediately for
Monday's meeting. I don't care whatstands in our way. And as I
was leaving with my colleagues at thestate Legislature at the City Council, we
all agreed it's time for us toact as democrats. We must act.
I just want to know what KarenJoy reads scout there when I'm like watching

(38:58):
this video, because man alive,if you're watching the simulcast, welcome back
to the show. You all werethinking it, I'll say it. I'm
the friend who says it, welcomeback to the program, top of our
second hour, Dana, last yearwith you. So this is a Kansas
City lawmaker who's saying, yeah,we got to have you know, we
gotta have gun legislation immediately. Iwoantn't someone to tell me what law you

(39:19):
were going to pass that would havemade illegal possession and illegal purchase illegal.
Ler, What law would you passto make murder illegal? Ler? What
law would you pass that makes shootingoff you are illegally possessed, likely illegally
purchased firearm at a parade illegaler,Bueler anybody. I would love for any

(39:49):
of these people, and they blockme whenever I ask in this on social
media? You had and I swearI had a video of this. Had
this guy? Kansas City mayor suedsued sued to block a Missouri law that

(40:09):
required higher police spending. Interesting,right, he did everything possible to stop
that. Hmm. He wanted tostop that any I mean any higher increase

(40:30):
or really like any police spending.To be honest, he wanted he didn't
want this. I'm trying to figureout, like you're and you're surprised when
you have high crime and you're denigratingpolice. Yeah. Quentin Lucas, Kansas
City mayor, this is back.August of twenty twenty two, announced he's

(40:52):
filing a suit against the state ofMissouri, arguing that a new law requiring
the city to spend more on policeis unconstitutional. Hm. And then they
wonder again why crime has increased wewere talking about the corrupt das and judges

(41:15):
and all this stuff. But theare not the only people talking about this
audio. Somebody's seven, Senator JoeManchin. Let's see how dummy gets in
this in this remark audio somebody seven. Lawlessness right now, the crime that
goes on in every city, inevery town, and the threat. You
know, I have ten grandchildren.I'm concerned when they tell me where we're
going to go to the mall,go shopping, or we're going to grocery

(41:36):
store with with your grandma or yourmom, And every time they say they're
going somewhere scares But Jesus out ofme. How about the people going to
pray yesterday just to celebrate a SuperBowl prey? Can you believe it?
Owning in America, owning in America, we let this continue and everyone's afraid,
Oh, what might cost me somevotes? Well, hell, if
it cost you some votes and that'swhat you got to vote for, why
would you want to be there anyway? Doesn't make any sense to me.

(42:00):
You know, you can't sell yoursoul to be in these positions. You
can't sell who you are. Whatdoes that have to do with any of
this? I mean, Kansas Cityis rife with restorative justice. These people
are like, oh, we can'tlive like this. What do you mean
live like what? Allowing repeat offendersto get back out on the street.
I mean, seriously, I meanallowing these das to just wristslap. I

(42:22):
mean you realize that they were.They were trying to do everything that they
could to exclude repeat offenders from minimumprison terms. They were doing everything possible.
I mean I could sit here andcite you push after push, incident
after incident. I mean, overand over again. They've had to fight.

(42:46):
They had Democrats attacking Republicans for suggestingthat maybe repeat offenders who are in
illegal possession of firearms used in commissionof a felony, maybe there should be
more prison time for them. Democratswere like, oh, my gosh,
that's so ignorant. It's the matterwith you, so mean, is that

(43:09):
what Joe Manchin's talking about. We'vehad a you know what, We've had
enough of living in fear from repeatoffenders because you guys, you democrats like
you, Joe Manchin, you allwon't do anything about it. You leave
our police hanging out there high anddry, having to catch the same people
over and over again. You realizethat the superintendent of the Chicago PD once

(43:31):
said that over eighty six percent ofthe city's crime was driven by the same
fourteen hundred repeat offenders. Google it. I had a book about it.
Actually, I had a whole chapterabout it in my first book, True
Story. And that's not just Chicago. That's name a big city run by

(43:51):
Democrats. It's everyone, Philly,Saint Louis, Kansas City, Vegas,
La, San Francisco, New York, Miami. Name a city that's been
generationally Democrat run, generationally Democrat citycouncil, over and over again, same

(44:12):
thing. But this is this iswhat we see. That's what people are
tired of. Two of these andthey're they're very interesting. It's very interesting
how they've been covering this or thelack thereof, Because didn't they say that
two of the people they arrested werejuveniles. So what are two teenagers doing
out there running around with guns inthe street where their parents don't tell me,

(44:36):
you don't know where your kids are. This is like either no family
or a lack of a parental figure, something that's a problem. Everyone always
thinks that that's not a problem.They try to brush it off to the
culture war. It's not a culturalwar thing. This is a cornerstone of
a functioning society to make sure thatpeople are being raised right. There is

(44:57):
no way in how that my kidswould have been running around the with a
gun. No way, because I'man involved parent. Some of these people
are lazy, bad parents. Andyou know it's true, it's it.
That's that's a problem. How longare we gonna take being victimized by other
people's poorly raised kids. How longare we going to be victimized by people

(45:21):
who go out and have sex withoutconsequence and they have kids that they don't
want to raise. Oh, don'teven sit here and try to tell me
about abortion. Keep your knees kissing, and do humanity a favor. When
do we get a break from that? Why in the ever, love and
hell do I got to give upmy gun because someone can't raise their kid
right? Why do I have togive up my guns because someone's a lazy,

(45:44):
bad parent. That's the reason whyI need them. Good grief,
No, just constant, non stop. I don't know. Maybe we were
raised different. I'm baby gen X. My husband tries to be the bouncer
for gen X and say that I'man old millennial and that's grounds for divorce.

(46:07):
I'm baby gen X. Well,because I, for the love I
mean, I grew up in theeighties and nineties and not a flippant millennial
knesa gen X. I saw this. I wanted to share this with you.
This is a meme that's been goingaround, but I particularly you gen
X folks. I wanted you tolisten to this and you realize how true
this is. This somebody, somea millennial posted this and they said,

(46:30):
quote, I don't mess around withanyone over forty two. They're built different.
Their families had them formally trained insomething by the time they were two.
They had the keys to the houseby age five. They could cook
full meals at seven, and werepretty much self sufficient at nine. They
left their house at dawn every summermorning, it did not come back till

(46:52):
nightfall, and survived all day onwater from garden hoses, and they might
get a sandwich on the off chancethat somebody's parents had gone grocery shopping.
They spent three quarters of their livesby themselves, with a parent maybe checking
in on them twice a month,and most of them have evaded at least
one kidnapping attempt, and they knowfifteen different ways to remove bloodstains from clothing.

(47:15):
They are the real FA and fO people. And Cain and I
were talking, We're like, oh, my gosh, that is right,
because I told him, Yeah,I remember a guy in a van one
time. And this is when Ilived in Festus, Missouri, and I
was a kid and I was outplaying with some other kids in the street
and somebody was like pulled up ata stop sign and it was like caught
motioning us over, and I wentand got my mom, and my mom

(47:36):
went ham and I'm like, Ithink I just evaded a kidnapping attempt.
And Kane was like, I totallywas almost kidnapped. I'm like what,
yeah, I mean it happened likein this creek area behind the park,
and you used almost a true crimestory the thing. You go to the
creek and you're like, ah,you want to throw rocks in the creek.
You want to see what kind ofcrap is in the creek. And
then next thing you know, theseadults come by and just start trying to

(48:00):
be friendly and you're like, uhno, no, So my brother takes
off running and left you behind.Yeah, well left me. But I
wasn't as fast as my brother unfortunately. But yeah, so went and got
my parents really quick. By thattime my dad came by that you know,
obviously these people were gone. Butyeah, we've all evaded at least
one. We'll think about it.Like, because I was the last key
kid. My mom worked late,and I'd get home and I would make

(48:22):
myself a snack i'd have. Don'tlaugh at me. My favorite snack to
have after school was a cheese andmustard sandwich. A stronger the mustard,
the better the sandwich. It's thisdelicious cheddar cheese, a good cheddar cheese,
some good old wonderbread, and youslap you some good old strong mustard
on there, mayonnaise to cheese andmanaise. Yeah. I don't know what's

(48:44):
wrong with you anyway. So Ihad my cheese and mustard sandwich and I'd
be doing my homework and i'd havecartoons on. I was like twelve years
old, I mean yeah, Andthen my mom would get home, maybe
like six o'clock, and I wouldlike help. I'd thaw meat or something
like that and help get stuff readyfor dinner. But in the summer,
that's right, Like we would leavein the morning when it was still relatively

(49:07):
cool, and we did not comeback until. We didn't have streetlights where
I lived, but you know,when you couldn't you know, see very
well because it was so dark,you had to come home. And I
mean, I don't we that's actuallynot I remember being at a friend's house
and the mom would come in withgrocery bags and I'd be like, yes,
ice cream sandwiches and regular sandwiches.Yeah, I mean that was how

(49:29):
it was, right, That's howit was. And your bike got you
everywhere. I mean that's how youknew where all your friends were, Like
where if you couldn't get a holdof somebody, you would just bike around,
you know, ride your bike,and then everybody's bikes would be in
somebody's front yard and that's where youknew where your crew was. That that
was it, man, that wasit. And they're right, I mean
we were really self sufficient. Yeah. Some of that is reflected, you

(49:52):
know in stranger things like in theeighties where how those kids were out playing
with each other and just never usuallyat home. Yeah, I mean that
literally was how it was. Andyou know how it's always those I think
whenever they have like kids are solvingsomething or kids are it's all. It's
it always seems to revolve around likeeighties and nineties kids, because I feel

(50:13):
like some of the kids today wouldbe like, I'm offended. Oh my
gosh, they them they had wegot to talk Rolling Stone. I don't
know if you saw this, youdidn't, because you have a life.
Kristin Stewart, that chick who wasin Twilight, she's like semi cross eyed
and like always, you know,like she just has like this whole horrible

(50:34):
non acting vibe. And she waslike, I want to do the gayest
thing ever. And I'm like,you made Twilight already. I don't think
it can get gayer than that.But she posed on the cover of Rolling
Stone with a jockstrap, and thenRolling Stone is now like conservatives are so
mad, and it's like, noone's mad. We're literally making fun of
you. It's just cringe, youdumb cows. That's all it is.

(50:55):
It's just cringe. We're making funof you. No one's mad, no
one cares, because it's not.How is this like even remotely edgy anymore?
When people try too hard to beedgy. It's so cringe stop it.
Have some you know, just alittle bit of self awareness, good
grief. We have more on theway, and then coming up at the

(51:16):
bottom of our hour, John andRasik's going to join us, and he's
singer songwriter. He's from five forFighting and he's got a new song out
we're going to discuss and he's veryupset with the inability of certain members of
Congress to actually or I don't know, condemned terrorism. We're going to talk

(51:37):
about all of that stuff because hedid this addressing he did this new song
called Okay, addressing the October seventhattack. So we're going to talk to
him about that and more. Aswe move. Our partners the only Christian
conservative cell phone service in the country. They want to save you dollars and
they've been doing so for a decade. This is the cell phone service I
have. I've never had an issuewith it, and I've saved more money

(52:00):
eight or nine years now. Iwas one of the I was the
first person in talk radio or commentaryperiod to start working with Patriot Mobile,
and they offer dependable nationwide coverage andall three major networks. You're getting the
best service without funding the left.And that's the thing. Your money is
not going towards you know, DEIor gun control or any of the stuff

(52:22):

you would probably miss. It's timefor Data's quick five man. This New
York City man is given Florida mana run for his money. This guy
was caught at the border smuggling pythonsin his pants, and he was sentenced

(53:10):
to probation. A New York Cityman, he admitted to smuggling in three
Burmese pythons through a US Canadian bordercrossing. He got sentenced to your probation
of find five thousand dollars. Heliterally hid them in bags tied to the
pants drawstring in the inner thigh ofhis pants. How they're worth more than

(53:30):
twenty five hundred a reptile store.I didn't even know that. Yeah,
it's considered a vulnerable vulnerable species inAsia, but invasive in Florida because it's
just killing, wrecking the ecosystem.They actually have they hunt them now.
But oh my gosh, how didyou think that was? You were going
to be not caught? So youguys remember Richel dolz All the original.

(53:52):
She was a like, you know, Elizabeth Warren. She faked being black
for a long time, cosplayed asa black woman literally like was part of
the end of ACP, and thenthey found out she was white as a
day is long, like blonde hairedeven uh. She lost her elementary school
teaching job after the district learned abouther. Only fans post so she why
does every Yeah, okay, SoI don't know what kind of reflection that

(54:15):
is on society that she apparently madeenough money on that. What how sick
is society that you know what,I'm going to see a Rachel doll is
only fans? How what is you? Who are you? What is wrong
with you? Who hurts you?The FDA has approved medication to treat severe
frostbite. That's kind of weird.They said that it's it's an injection that

(54:37):
treats severe frostbite in adults to reducethe risk of finger or toe amputation.
It's called our manham My Nam,Yeah, that's it. It's they just
threw a bunch of letters together andwe're like, go at it. But
they said that it's it's something that'suh. They're hoping the active ingredient in
this that I can't pronounce that preventsblood from clouding, and they're hoping to

(54:59):
be able to to reverse some ofthe more extreme damage. It's interesting artificial
intelligence. People are seeking romantic connectionwith the perfect bot. I think they
need to go out and touch grass. That's what needs to happen. And
a soccer player was struck by lightningand killed during a game and a terrifying
video. This was horrific. Thiswas in in Indonesia of f C Bandong.
This is crazy. So coming upJohn Andrassig joins us. He's been

(55:21):
well five for fighting on his newsong on October seventh. Stick with us,
Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify,or wherever you get your podcasts,
because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash
here with you. You can listencoast to coast bottom of the second hour.
You can also stream the radio programand watch the video component too,

(55:44):
the simulcast on Channel through forty seven, Direct TV, YouTube and Facebook as
well. A couple of weeks ago, I went and spoke to the Dallas
Jewish Conservatives, a great group ofpeople. It was an amazing event and
some of the stories and just theaccounts that I heard from, you know,
hello Americans who you know I've saidthis before. That's what makes this
country so unique is is the epluribus unam. Everyone wants to be united

(56:07):
in liberty and so that's the strength. And you have people who come from
all over the world and their familiescome from all over the world. And
I was talking to this one,uh, this one gentleman. He was
an elderly man and he had writtena couple of books about his you know,
his parents were had been in Aschwitz, and he was talking about how

(56:28):
he was like the only person ofhis very few of his you know,
of his family to survive, andhe wrote about his parents and you know,
how they kept hope, and itjust it was an amazing conversation and
his heartbreak when he was recounting whathappened on October seventh, and when he
told me, he said, Ihad never I've always been hopeful in life,
but I have I had never trickedmyself into thinking that something like this

(56:51):
might not ever happen again. AndI just thought, what a horrible thing
to have to live, a realityto live with. And that really affected
me because you know, for alot of people, I don't think that
they understand a lot of you know, our Jewish American friends and even family
members for many, I mean you'retalking about their grandparents, their parents that

(57:12):
had gone through this. We arenot that separated generationally from all of the
atrocities that happened back then. Andto see October seventh take place, and
then watch what happened within our owngovernment, how they couldn't even condemn rape
to be used as a weapon ofwar was sickening to me, and it
was sickening to my first guest todayas well, because he wrote a really

(57:34):
really touching song about it called WeAre Not Okay. John and Rassic.
You might know for of course youknow him also five for fighting, he
joins me, prolific singer songwriter.I mean, I think it's pretty iconic.
Everybody knows everybody knows his voice,he joins me now via Skype,
John, I just so appreciate youjoining me and you wrote this song.
There's sometimes I can't listen to certainsongs all the way through because I'm not

(57:57):
I'm not an emotional person, butsometimes there's just like a pitch or something
that just gets me, and thenall of a sudden, I'm like,
I can't listen to any more thanAnd this is one of those songs.
It's in the video that goes alongwith it. I want to talk to
you about what our government has doneand the weird sort of defense that we
saw of Hamas in the wake ofOctober seventh, and I think this just

(58:20):
speaks to something so much larger.But why I wanted to ask about the
title of your song first and foremost, we Are Not Okay, and the
way that you sing it in thechorus as well, there's a lot of
emphasis on Okay, talk to meabout that well. First, Ding and
it's great to be with you,longtime fan. I appreciate your willingness to
fight the big battles, and thisis I think the biggest battle of all.

(58:43):
I think October seventh the atrocities remindedus of nine to eleven. Frankly,
also the Afghan withdrawal, but reallythe aftermath. You know, within
twenty four hours you had thousands ofpeople celebrating in Times Square, and then
all of a sudden you start seeingthe moral collapse of all our institutions.
You know, certainly the media veryquickly for some became a MOS's mouthpiece.

(59:07):
Obviously, our college campuses, whichwe've known for decades, have been a
you know, a bastion of moralrotten anti Semitism, and as you just
mentioned, members of Congress basically spoutinghamas talking points, and as you mentioned
yesterday, miss Talib could not findherself to condemn the rape and massacre of

(59:28):
women at a concert. So it'sa symptom of much deeper problem. Folks
have talked about that, and Ithink for me, kind of seeing that
there's something deeply wrong in the culture. The UN Minister today just said,
well, we don't look at Hamasas a terrorist organization. So so many
institutions have collapsed, and we're losingour children. Half of our kids between

(59:53):
eighteen and twenty four side with Hamasover Israel. Twenty percent believe that the
Holocaust never happened. And if wedon't stand up and dress that, we're
going to lose this battle, ofthis global battle for civilization. I think
that's a great point. Talking toour friend John and Rassak five for fighting
his new song we are not okay. You mentioned Rashida to leave in the

(01:00:14):
inability of her to condemn you know, Hamas using rape as a weapon of
war. And I'm amazed at Hamasis an elected terrorist government. And they
were elected two thousands and so popularthat they actually suspended elections because they thought
they were going to overtake Fatta inWest Bank. And when the argument of
well it was reaction to the occupation. They were fighting against the occupation,

(01:00:38):
John, in what reality is puttinga baby in en oven or shooting women
in their copulatory organs, or rapingwomen or do shooting pets? When is
that an acceptable for how is thatan acceptable form of resistance? That's what
I feel like. They're arguing,Well, you're right, this is a

(01:00:58):
moral issue. And if you cannotcondemn putting babies in ovens and burning them
in front of their mothers and filmingit and sending it to their families on
Facebook without words like context or but, then nothing is evil. And I
think it really goes to this kindof warped mindset that is infecting all aspects
of a culture of oppressor versus apress ee. So if you're the perceived

(01:01:22):
a press ee, all of asudden, you can do no wrong,
and if you're the oppressor, youcan do no right. Of course,
this is not about the Palestinians.You know, Syria, you know murdered
tens of thousands Palestinians. They wouldnot allow human aid to come in,
and there were no marches. Thereare no protests on college campuses. So

(01:01:43):
this really is this kind of mindsetthat's infecting our kids and our society,
and you see it in many aspectsof the culture. And the saddest thing
to me, Dana, which isI'm ashamed about, is the silence of
the artsolence of the music industry.You know, you were two years old,
but I have the you know,the honor of playing the concert for

(01:02:06):
New York after nine to eleven,and you remember, you know, I
remember walking down Seventh Avenue, andof course there was the pictures of those
who were missing, and our heartsbroke because we knew they weren't coming home.
But could you imagine back in theday people ripping those posters down,
you know, so we're really seeing, frankly, for the first time.
I think people are opening their eyesto the depths of how we've fallen.

(01:02:30):
And it's not just in America,it's the whole world. And if we
don't stand up to it using thearts, because you know, our old
friend Andrew Breibar used to say,you know, politics is downstream of culture.
Folks don't understand that. And thefact that all the artists, iconic
artists that stood up for America afternine to eleven have been silent, many
of them Jewish, is a greatdisgrace. And I'm working on a few

(01:02:53):
things to hopefully change that. Andyou made such a great point with that.
I know we were going to haveyou join us, I think week
or so ago, but you hadan opportunity to kind of dress down an
organization in the arts, and youtook that opportunity understandably, and we were
like, yes, go do this. And it's crazy that it has that
you have to bring that. Peopledon't have the I don't know if it's

(01:03:15):
a willful awareness or if they justwant to ignore it, but they have
to have it pointed out to themby other people that this is bad.
There's no justification of this, there'sno you can't just gloss over it.
It's bad, it happened. Peopleare defending it, and good on you
for doing that, because it's noteasy to do and it comes at great
cost. Well look, the firstlyric of my song is this is a

(01:03:37):
time for choosing, and I thinkit is and we have to decide.
You can't bury your heads in thesand anymore. And the last image of
my video is Martin Luther King basicallysaying, if you're silent in front of
evil, you're complicit. And we'reseeing a lot of nineteen thirty eight in
twenty twenty four, a lot ofthe same excuses. You know, some
of my artists friends, well,yeah, Hamas is bad, but I'm

(01:03:59):
worried. I'm scared for my family. I don't want my concerts protested.
And I'm like, look, Iget it. You know, when Israel
shared my video on their social media, I quickly understood would Jews go through
every day, the vitriol, thedeath threats? But I said, look,
these arguments are exactly what people madein nineteen thirty eight, and every
voice that comes out for the rightthing makes us all stronger. So the

(01:04:21):
silence cannot continue. And as Imentioned, the arts is how we get
to the kids. You know,a lot of these politicians and pundits think
their speeches matter and their articles matter. Nobody cares about that the kids.
You know, we have to usethe arts. So hopefully we can gather
some more artists of like mind andinspire others to speak up. As you

(01:04:42):
know, as this song kind ofresonates around the world. Talking with our
friend John and Rassik five for fightingin about his new song, we are
not Okay. You touched on somethingJohn that I thought I wanted to come
back to you because you were talkingabout how the youth particularly and there's I
think there's a foreign policy illiteracy thatnot just affects the United States, but
a lot of other countries. Butthere's also this idea that goes along with

(01:05:05):
it that the means justify and justifiesthe means, that it's like this perversion
of fighting for what you think isgood, that if you can use evil
tactics, it's okay, and itmainstreams evil because you know, I mean,
if you get to the same end, then that means this isn't really
evil if you're still able to getto your ends right, And I think

(01:05:26):
kind of that's at the root ofthis too. It is it's it's kind
of a culty kind of phenomena,and you see it with so many of
our kids, and it's horrifying,it's scary. But as you mentioned,
you use the word mainstream, whichwas interesting. I was talking to a
young man friend of my son,it's twenty one years old, and I
asked him, you know, it'sHamas Israel thing. What do you think,

(01:05:46):
well, Hamas? You know HamasAnd I'm like, why do you
say that? And he goes,because it's mainstream because it's whatever, it's
cool, it's it's what the dkids think. And then when I told
them, but you know about youknow how they basically slaughtered all these people
at the concert. He goes,well, a lot of that's kind of,
you know, kind of hi propaganda. Go let me show you some

(01:06:06):
videos. And when he saw that, he was stunned. So the fact
that you know academia, well,let me put this, elite academia.
Don't send your kids to Harvard,send them to Texas or Alabama. But
you know, elite academia has beenpushing this dogma for years. And now
those folks that were in school,you know, fifteen, you know,

(01:06:26):
ten years, who are now runningour major media organizations, many in our
tech business, and frankly many inthe arts. So it's not surprising this
is happening. But we can't justsit here and lament it. We have
to stand up to it, eachof us in our ways, whether you're
a songwriter, talk show you know. Look, Mark Levin shared my video
and Deborah Messing. This is nota political issue. If we can't get

(01:06:50):
together on the fact that Hamas isevil and we're losing our kids, then
it's our fault. Yeah, Sowe have a lot of work to do,
and we're considering sending essentially Hamas ninepoint one billion dollars in a supplemental
which in the form of aid,because you know, all of the entities
over there that are just distributing everything, they're not run by Hamas. I

(01:07:10):
mean, they just found out thatthe UN headquarters over there in Gaza City
had the Hamas tunnel underneath it.You know, if it wasn't true,
you let you know. It soundslike a bad joke. It's a mad
world. The world's gone insane.And the fact that the Biden administration is
floating a Palestinian state to reward Hamasfor atrocities again, in what alternate universe
are we living in? But look, we saw this in Afghanistan, the

(01:07:32):
extraordinary success with what that was Afghanistan. I wrote a song called Blood on
my Hands. They called them out. We saw this in Ukraine when our
first act when Russia invaded was tooffer Zelenski a plane ticket. Hey,
abandon your people. And now we'reseeing this kind of turnabout on Israel.
So again I think I don't lookat this as a political issue, but

(01:07:55):
I think we have to speak loudlywhen our leaders are starting to slip with
their moral spine. Last question foryou, our friend John Andrassik, five
for fighting. You mentioned your sonwas saying, and I've heard this from
all I mean kids, just they'rethey're not having this presented to them.
And whether in colleges or even inhigh schools or junior highs that it's I

(01:08:16):
get it that it's the kids allgo through a rebellious period, right,
you want to be the rebel.And nowadays it seems like to be rebellious
is to look like what everyone elsethinks alternative is and to do all of
the things that people think is alternative. So it's still like another high mind
action. But maybe I'm romanticizing,you know how my folks grew up and

(01:08:38):
maybe my grandparents grew up, Butit really seemed like the cool thing back
in the day, when we wereway more original, was to actually go
against the grain. When when didwe lose that? I mean we're America.
We I mean that's we we wentagainst the grain from the onset,
Like, when did we lose that? Yeah? No, it is interesting
because because both my kids, youknow, don't understand their friends. My

(01:08:59):
daughter actually graduated from NYU. Butit's not just our kids. Look.
Rolling Stone used to be about speakingto the man. It used to be
about rock and roll. It usedto be about speaking up to power.
It used to be about human rightsjustice. They won't even cover the Hamas
issue like they should. There Isent them my video. They're cowards.
They put they put that one,that one Boston terrorist on their cover.

(01:09:24):
You know what, So much ofthis is a cultural problem, and it
goes way beyond Hamas and Israel.But again it's it's our obligation to provide
the counterpoint because we're in the right. We're in the right, and I
think the silent majority understands that.But silent majorities become silent minorities if people
don't speak up. So we havea lot to do. I've got some

(01:09:45):
projects. I'll be going to Israelprobably in the next month or so,
so you know, I'll keep youin the loop. And thank you for
you know, speaking to the organization. You know, one thing that's critical.
I've got thousands of emails from Jewishfolks around the world. They feel
abandoned. They wonder what happened.So every voice that says, hey,
look, we got your back.One doesn't have to be Jewish to condemn

(01:10:05):
Hamas's evil. One has to behuman. So thank you for being human
again, big fans say hi toChris and hopefully we can do this again
one day we'll do And big fanof you too, John, and appreciate
you using your talent and your skillstoo to really add to this and help
convince in a way that really youcan and so many others can't. We're
grateful for it. John and Rossickthe song we are not Okay. Always

(01:10:27):
appreciate you, my friend, Godspeed, take care, Thank you of
course you too. It's his lifemission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida. Man, I reallydo not have any I mean, this
is one of the craziest stories.So you know how some people are a

(01:10:48):
little chicken little sky's falling, Sky'sfalling. Okay, that really happened in
this guy's case, Florida's Shriff's deputy, Bless his heart for Walton Beach.
An acorn hit his patrol vehicle andhe thought somebody was shooting at him,
and he immediately shots fired, shotsfired, and he fired multiple times at

(01:11:08):
an suv where they had a guyhandcuffed sitting in the back seat. The
man was being questioned about steel andhis girlfriend's car. He wasn't injured.
He was taking in his custody,taking a custody released without being charged.
Oka Lusia Countie Sheriff's Office released thebody camera video and they addressed the acorn
for the first time. It's DeputyJesse Hernandez. He's never gonna live this
down. Guys, He's never gonnalive this down. Oh I saw the

(01:11:32):
video. I mean, man losthis mind the trio when the acorn hit.
Yeah, he like rolled and likea few times, like he was
tumbling and he's like shots fired shots. He was like trying to evade bullets
like Neo from the Matrix. Justcrazy. And so he had detained the
boyfriend. He was searching the carand he put him in the back of

(01:11:54):
his control his patrol vehicle, andthat's when the acorn hit the vehicle and
he thought, I guess that theguy was he thought he had been hit.
I don't know, he just lostit and then yeah, it was
bad. It was bad. Sothey're reviewing it. They're looking at it
and oh boy, golly, that'sbad for the state. He's never gonna

(01:12:15):
live it down. Stick with us. Third hour on the way, Yeah,
just sadness. You wake up We'regoing to celebrate the Chiefs winning the
Super Bowl, and that person's notgoing to get home. And then you
factor in all the injuries and apparentlymost of them were kids, and I
just feel saddened because you've got thegreatest country in the world. Any food

(01:12:36):
can go out and buy guns.True anytime. They don't do great background
checks. Wow, so that's shackcheck. Come on, I'm not going
to go sit here and knock theballs out of your hands, so you
don't come here and need to tellus about gun law. Right it works.
Oh wait, Charles Barkley, I'mso done with like the empty gun

(01:13:00):
stuff. Still same thing. I'mnot going to go and knock the balls
out of Charles Barkley's hands, andthen he's not going to come here in
lecture about gun law. I getit's not easy for people to get a
gun. Welcome back to the program, Dana, last year with you.
Top of this third hour, theupdate the Kansas City Chiefs parade. The
suspects are juveniles who are having Theyhaven't released their names because they're under twenty

(01:13:25):
one. That's why they were havinga personal dispute. They said that they
thought it was it was a fight, and they took three people into custody,
and they said that they were juvenilesand they had they got into a
fight. They're being really weird withhow information is coming out in this now.

(01:13:46):
They said it had nothing to dowith terrorism or anything like that,
but it sounds like it's uh,you know, I mean, it's always
like youth gang drug violence. I'mjust wondering how teenagers were able to How
do you have as the teenager,have a gun and your folks don't know

(01:14:10):
how case in point. When Iwas young, my favorite book in the
world was Scary Stories to Tell inthe Dark. And this is like the
worst thing I've ever done. Thisis probably like a crime, I think.
So I would check it out repeatedlyat the library I was in elementary
school. I didn't want anyone elsechecking out this book. And it wasn't

(01:14:33):
available in my weekly reader, right, you know. You could get your
weekly Reader and you could turn aroundof the back and you could buy books
off of it, you know,and they'd come like the next week.
So I didn't want anybody checking thisbook out. I mean for half the
year, I think I checked thisbook out to keep it because I liked

(01:14:55):
it so much. I wanted it. I loved the drawings in it,
the scary I had all these storiesmemorized. It was my absolute favorite book,
scary stories to tell in the dark. And there was at one point
that and this was towards the endof the year, that the librarian had
asked me if I could not checkthat book out because someone else had asked

(01:15:16):
about it, and I thought nope, and I lied to her and I
said, sure, y'all bring itin. Never I didn't do it.
I didn't do it. In fact, I was they were going to bar
me from participating in field day becauseI just kept it at that point.
I didn't even bother checking it outagain. And the school called my mom
because they were like, well,she needs to return this very overdue book

(01:15:39):
or she's not going to be ableto participate in field day. And you
guys know how important field day isif you're in elementary school. That's like
towards the end of the year,and all the grades compete, and it's
like a big deal, right,It's an all day, big deal thing.
It's like, oh my gosh,So I had to bring the book
back. I didn't get in trouble. My mom did give me in trouble,

(01:16:00):
but I was like, uh,and I had to produce it.
And I was so mad. AndI was so mad at the little boy
who was like I think he was. He was in my gravities, in
a different class. I was somad that he wanted to check it out.
I was just like, have yourparents go get you. I was
so mad because I could afford tojust go and buy books, and I
did not want to give that bookback. I was so mad about it.
I had to chip on my shoulderfor like the rest of the year,

(01:16:20):
remaining like a month or so.Oh man, that was a big
deal. But I my mom knew, I mean she and then she ended
up. I kept telling her Idon't have that I left it at school.
That woman found that book in likefive seconds. She knew she kept
tabs. She knew when I wasn'teating my bologney sandwiches and I was hiding
them in my room. She knewbecause I didn't like bologna and I was

(01:16:42):
going to get sweets, like I'dget fifty cents and I could go and
buy whatever sweets I wanted during lunch. That woman knew she was like magical
parents who are involved. No,how do you have two juveniles that go
out, two teens go out andthey have guns and they're running around the
city with them. How is thatlegal? That's not legal? Nothing about

(01:17:04):
that is legal? What in theworld. And they're gonna sit here and
say it's because of gun laws.They're gonna blame gun laws. And they're
not going to what blame broken families, They're not gonna they're not gonna blame

(01:17:24):
irresponsible parenting, but they're gonna blamegun laws. I don't know what law
they would propose to make any ofthis illegal or I also can't take seriously.
A friend of mine made a reallygood point and that you know,
you don't even know how many peopleare coming across the border illegally with guns,
and you're calling for gun control whilethe border's open. How what?

(01:17:46):
And that is true? That's avery good point. Yea at Kansas City
Police say they it was a Itwas a fight. These teens got into
a fight, and that's what itwas. That's why you're not hearing anything
else about it anymore, nothing elseabout it. I wanted to share this
story with you as well. Kinesent me this. I actually looked this

(01:18:09):
up because I thought this is ajoke. It's true. I found I
found the piece. It's our friend. Greg Price says that the Biden DOJ.
Oh, you guys are gonna needto sit down for this one.
I'll give you a second. It'sa doozy alrighty Okay, let's proceed.
Biden's DOJ has filed a lawsuit againstthe state of Tennessee because the State of

(01:18:30):
Tennessee made it illegal for prostitutes toknowingly spread HIV. The Biden administration says
it's a violation of the Americans withDisabilities Act. Mm hmm, they said,
quote. The enforcement of state criminallaws that treat people differently based on
HIV's status alone, and that arenot based on actual risks of harm discriminate

(01:18:55):
against people living with HIV. Peopleliving with HIVA should not be subjected to
a different system of justice based onoutdated science and misguided assumptions the Lawsit reflects
the Justice Department's commitment to ensuring thatpeople live at HIV are not targeted because
of disability being Wait a minute,it's spread, you can spread it.
What new science says that it can'tOh boy, here we go. What

(01:19:16):
new science says that it can't bespread? If you are HIV positive and
you sleep with someone who is notHIV positive and they become HIV positive,
and you, knowing that you hadHIV, come to the conclusion that it
looks like you gave them HIV becauseyou weren't you, how is it informed

(01:19:36):
consent. That's the other thing thatI don't get. If you're withholding information
from someone that you are getting withintimately and that could cause them to suffer
health wise, that's not informed consent. It's not you're not informed. They

(01:19:58):
are not fully aware of all ofthe risks at hand. Now, granted,
they shouldn't be doing it in thefirst place, if they if you,
I mean, if you even thinkor suspect this is one of the
This is kind of a problem withsleeping around and not being not using individual
discretion. But that also is aninformed consent. You're not making people who

(01:20:18):
knowingly have HIV and who are affectingother people. They're not the victims here.
They're victimizing other people. And youdon't get to You don't get a
oh, well, they can't victimizepeople, see, because they already have
HIV. What kind of argument isthat that's what they're saying. No,
they can't, you know, becausethey already have HIV. What I how

(01:20:39):
but Americans with disabilities act if you'remaking someone okay, let's use that.
Let's just pursue that line of thinking. If you're arguing that they contracted HIV,
and I feel like that's a hugediminishment of ada by the way,
for them to argue this. Ifyou contracted HIV because you willingly engaged in
sexual recreation or drug use or whatever, and you ended up infecting yourself and

(01:21:03):
you now consider yourself disabled, whywould you go make someone else disabled or
withhold information from them so that theycould choose to whether or not they wanted
a risk becoming disabled like you,right, I can't believe we have to
have these rudimentary conversations like this.This is so ridiculous. Can we contrast
that with how horrible a person youwere if you didn't wear a mask at

(01:21:25):
the grocery store. That's a reallygood point. I mean literally, with
COVID, you are a killer anda murderer for not wearing a mask.
But with HIV, it's cool toinfect others with it you're protected under this
Disabilities Act. What kind of BSis this? Yeah, I mean that

(01:21:46):
is a very good point. Ifyou didn't wear a mask, Oh my
gosh, people would like yell atyou out in the street if you were
out in the sunshine and the warmmare and you weren't wearing a mask.
Exactly what it was. I'm I'mjust amazed at at this. So it

(01:22:06):
is discrimination of prostitutes can't infect peoplewith HIV? Yeah, I can't.
Don't have to disclose it. I'msorry what I mean? I don't know
which way to go here with allthese arguments. This is so I hate

(01:22:28):
society. We're smart, We're smart? I miss smart? Where smart?
When does your medical status determine yourprotective status? Like? Why is you
having a disease somehow make you aprotected status? I don't understand it.
Yeah, I get race, religion, all the other stuff that means that.

(01:22:49):
You Well, see, if youare an HIV positive prostitute, you
can give someone HIV, but youcan't if you're not an HIV positive prostitute,
you can't give someone a only onlyspecifically to HIV prostitutes. What it's
true, you're a protected class we'rejust creating all kinds of protected classes,

(01:23:10):
aren't we aren't we just all kindsof protected classes. Everybody's a protected class.
Because if everybody's a protected class,you don't they can't be made to
face consequences. I only get likefour and a half hours asleep on average.
That should make me a protected class. Wait, how do you only
get four and a half hours asleep? That's just literally what happens? You

(01:23:31):
are an odd bird man, It'sjust it's not possible. So, like,
I wake up, but what happensYou just can't go back to sleep.
Yeah, just can't do it.You just lay there and you must
have gotten plenty four and a halfhours. Yeah, that's not normal,
right, So I should be aprotected class, is my point. You.
Yeah, you're a protected class ofall the frivolous reason that means you
get a pass. You can causeother people to not sleep too. I

(01:23:55):
mean, I being all up ina wake that wakes up other people.
I'm so this is just wild tome, and it is And they even
tweeted it, so it's the DOFJCivil Rights Division. They actually they actually
tweeted this out. So if youdidn't get the JAB you could get fired

(01:24:18):
from your job, but hey,you can give somebody the hive and it's
fine. They're protected. If youdidn't get the jab, you could lose
your job. If you don't weara mask, you could go to jail.
But if you give someone the hive, well you can't because they're HIV
positive, so they're protected. Thatmeans they get a pass. I want

(01:24:44):
to pass. That's like saying,if you have on a firearm or you
get to pass for any crime,you may want to come in with it.
Yeah, I mean, it's thesame argument. Did we accidentally get
poisoned water? Like? What inthe world. There's no way I can't
believe this isn't actual. I'm gonnaretweet this because none of y'all gonna believe
this. None of y'all canna believe. I got to retweet it, and

(01:25:08):
now all of the news you wouldprobably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick
five. The ten year old partof my brain wants you to know that
if Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade gotmarried, her name would be Fanny Wade.
That's your headline here you go.Bye. No really, though,
oh, Elon Musk made good ona threat, he incorporated space X moved

(01:25:32):
it from Delaware to Texas. Itfollows that they were going to they at
Delaware Court was going to demand thatthat Tesla reesin his twenty eighteen CEO pay
package, and he was like,you don't get to do that. So
he moved his business out of Delawareencouraged others to do the same. I
think people will, but don't comein here and vote blue. But yeah,

(01:25:53):
that's good on them. So theuh, what is this? What
is this EMA? The local EMA? So this is out of Yahoo.
They said that on April eighth,we're gonna have a once in a lifetime
eclipse and it's now. The emergencymanagement in Lorraine County in Ohio are telling

(01:26:14):
people to stock up on three daysof food, fuel, and water.
And they said it's because they couldhave crowds that were not used to can
you only like apparently, Ohio,I guess, is like the best place
to view this thing? Is thatwhat it is? So it's a destination
for this county for people to gothere because apparently that's the place where it
lasts the longest. I don't evenknow how they figured that out, but
they did. And they said asa result, they are not set up

(01:26:38):
infrastructure wise to deal with the crowds. So get all y'all stuff before the
people get there. Not because theythink that you know, something's going to
go sideways. It's literally because Idid not realize there were that many people
that follow that stuff and will literallymake it a travel destination just to go
and watch something like that for anhour. That's wild to me, I
mean good for you, but man, see the CDC finally dropped the COVID

(01:27:03):
five day isolation guideline. Really,Josh, Now you guys said, wow,
stick with us. Third hour onthe way and we got some interesting.
John Kirby was asked to describe Turners. You know that warning that he
put out yesterday. Stay with us, elevate your commute workouts or downtime with

(01:27:23):
the Data Show podcast. Unleash thepower of knowledge at your fingertips by following
Dana on Apple, Spotify, orwherever you get your podcasts. And some
members of Congress described Turner's actions asreckless. Given how you started this free
thing, is that how you wouldcharacterize what you did yesterday? I would
just tell you that we have followeda very rigorous process about how to determine

(01:27:45):
whether information can be and should bedowngraded and shared publicly. We are were
and are in the process of thatwith this particular capability. As I said
in my opening statement, We're notgoing to get knocked off that process.
We're not going to be We're notgoing to have our hand forced to get
out there faster and further than wethink is appropriate. You can serve that

(01:28:09):
all members of Congress now have hadaccess to this classified intelligence. That that's
really for the Chairman Turner to speakto, since he made that decision to
make it available to all members ofCongress. This is based on this look,
well, again we'll let Chairman Turnerspeak to his decision about how to

(01:28:32):
share the information. It is basedon information that we again are still in
the process of analyzing and sharing withallies and partners, and we're just not
at a point right now. Wedon't believe we should be at a point
right now to be too forthcoming andall the details of it as we work
through this process. But as Isaid, as we do with every other

(01:28:53):
downgrade, we'll get to a pointcertainly where we can we'll share with you
as much as we can. Ijust feel like it was incredibly irrespon for
Mike Turner to have said, Ithink it's just all of it's ridiculous all
around. And they said it's becauseof some sort of space threat and maybe
Russia has some sort of capability thatthe United States doesn't. And there was
apparently all of the hysteria and theurgency that they were pushing yesterday's kind of

(01:29:15):
gone by the wayside because now there'snot really so much as a peep.
Welcome back to the program, DanaLash here with you at the bottom of
this third hour, and make sureyou go send it for the newsletter over
its substack chapter and verse. I'mnot quite sure what they would have This
was him talking about uh and thisis that second Cutcaine where he was asked

(01:29:39):
about some kind of anti satellite systemthat Russia might be developing. And I
think that that's what they're I guessthey're they're Kirby kind of gives you know,
a little show of the cards here. Listen. The intelligence community has
serious concerns about about a broad declassificationof this intelligence. They also ess that

(01:30:00):
starting with private engagement rather than immediatelypublicizing the intelligence, could be a much
more effective approach. We agree withthat, which is consistent, of course,
with the manner in which we haveconducted downgrades of information in the past.
This administration has put a lot offocus on doing that in a strategic
way, a deliberate way. SoI mean, it wouldn't be unusual to

(01:30:25):
think that any country would have thatcapability. Yeah, we have the one
where he specifically talks about capabilities righthere. This one is the one you're
referring to. Okay, yeah,listen, can you address whether the United
States has the capability to defend againstthe Russian anti satellite system that they're developing.

(01:30:46):
I will tell you that this isstill a development. I'm sorry,
it's still a capability they're developing.We are still analyzing the information that's available
to that. I would not speakdefinitively about our our strategic deterrent capabilities one
way or the other. We justdon't. We don't talk about that publicly.
But we're taking this potential threat veryvery seriously, and we are examining

(01:31:09):
what the best next steps are andwhat our options might be. I want
to reiterate it is not an activecapability and it has not yet been deployed.
So why is my turner all hysterical? I mean, it kind of
makes me wonder if they send itKirby out to be a good guy,
and then they can be bad guyand then they can still use it as
leverage to get Ukraine funding and thesupplemental. It's what I think it all

(01:31:30):
comes back to. Still, still, it all comes back to that there's
just a whole mess of stuff that'shit this week regarding Russia and Ukraine and
all of that. That really justto me, the timing is, there's
never any coincidence in politics. There'sno such thing as coincidences in politics.
Ever, I don't believe that it'sa coincidence, not at all. And

(01:31:55):
the I this again, how isthat like shocking to any lawmaker? That
any I mean, we've been lookingat developing such capabilities, so you would
have to assume that other others wouldalso. Are they trying to just like
push a space cold wargan star Warsall over again? The eighties are back,
guys. Can we just go dispensewith the nineties fashion and just go

(01:32:17):
back to the eighties because it wasso much better. I don't get it.
I wanted to, I wanted totouch on this the story because I
mentioned how there have been all ofthese like weird. You know, we
had the Carlson interview with Putin lastweek, and then he came out with

(01:32:39):
a video this week where he wasin a Russian supermarket and I don't know
if he went to several or ifhe just went to the one, and
it made me think about Boris Yeltson'strip to a Randall's supermarket in Texas.
I don't know if you guys areaware of this story. This it was
a very interesting it's a very interestingpiece of history and it actually ended up

(01:33:03):
being incredibly life changing for Boris Yelton. And this was, you know,
kind of because this was like rollingtowards the it was like the end of
the Cold War, and this wasafter you know, we you know,
a lot of stuff we were stillreally unaware of a lot with the Soviet

(01:33:27):
economy and Russia was still very byby design, most Russians had no idea
about American economy because the stuff thatthey were shown was very carefully selected and
they just in Pravda, which youknow, we're kind of it's the name
of a government publication, but itkind of represents. All of the publications
in Russia was just, but theyjust specifically wanted to show you certain things,

(01:33:51):
right, They wanted to show Russiancertain things. They wanted to make
America look bad and make it looklike it was crowded, and et cetera,
et cetera. And so Boris Yeltzimhe was the first person to be
president of the Russian Federation after thefall of the Soviet Union. And he
had been a Communist his whole entirelife. I mean, he was basically

(01:34:15):
the mayor of Moscow. He wentup through the communist hierarchy. He was
a lifelong communist and he and thiswas in eighty nine. I was in
sixth grade when this happened. Hecame to the United States and he's still
he wasn't yet. He was amember of the Russian legislature at the time,

(01:34:38):
as I remember, but I don'tthink he had immediately taken over as
president of the Federation. So itwasn't like a big state event, and
so he could do he was ableto kind of do a lot more.
He went to the Statue Liberty,he went to all like you know,
the Times Square, all this otherstuff, and then they went to NASA
in Houston, and he was touringthe Space Center in Houston, and he

(01:35:00):
had a really weird request when hewas there. He wanted to go to
a supermarket, not just not abig fan, just any random supermarket.
He wanted to go to a supermarket. And you know, the guides that
were there showing him around, they'relike, okay, all right, well

(01:35:21):
we'll we'll do it. We'll we'llgo and we'll we'll have you go to
a supermarket. And it was avery impromptu thing. And so they reached
out to just like a random supermarketin Houston, and they reached out to
Randall's Foods and it was in clearLake, Texas. And they called the
manager and they said, you're goingto have a VIP who's going to be

(01:35:44):
showing up in you know, likea half hour, just you know,
be please be prepared. And youknow, then in comes Boris Yelton,
you know, the manager comes outand they and at first he thought,
and he wrote about this in hisautobiogra At first he thought and later realized
that it wasn't just a singular stagedsupermarket, that this was an average everyday

(01:36:06):
supermarket in the United States of America, because remember what I told you,
Russian media was very careful in whatthey showed Russians, even other members of
their Communist Party, they grew upnot really knowing what the United States had,
like, what our supermarkets were like. And Yeltsen wrote in his autobiography,

(01:36:30):
and there was a New York Timespiece when he passed that discussed this,
and I'm not lionizing him, butI'm saying it changed his life.
There are photos of him just slackjawed looking at produce, looking at all
the stuff on the shelves. Hecouldn't get over apparently the frozen pudding pops.

(01:36:53):
He was just shocked that. Andhe had said, quote, even
the politic Buro doesn't have this choice, not even mister Gorbachev, he said.
And then he didn't believe that allof this stuff was for sale in
the store. He was asking themanager all these questions, like all of
these things are for sale, thisis not staged. And he couldn't believe

(01:37:15):
that there were so many stores likethis all around the United States, almost
in multiple ones, in every town. He couldn't get over that they had
free cheese samples. They offered hima cheese sample, which he obligedly,
very happily took. He couldn't getover it. I mean, he was
shocked. And he went around andhe was asking the people questions. Some

(01:37:41):
of the customers he had an interpreterwith him. He was asking them,
what are you buying for your groceries? And can I ask you how much
your groceries cost? And and hehad never seen literally anything like it in
his life. And so after Houstonthey were going to I think it was
Miami. And on the flight homeand again this was all in his autobiography

(01:38:04):
because he wrote about this whole experience. He was in shock, He was
quiet, very reflective, and atone point he was said to have put
his head in his hands and sobbed. He wrote this in his autobiography quote,

(01:38:27):
when I saw those shelves crammed withhundreds, thousands of cans, cartans,
and goods of every possible sort,for the first time, I felt
quite frankly sick with despair for theSoviet people. That such a potentially super
rich country as ours had been broughtto a state of such poverty. It
is terrible to think of it.He noted, like I said that even

(01:38:53):
the highest levels of the Communist Partydidn't even have the choices that average everyday
Americans had. His his aid hadsaid that the last vestige of Bolshevism collapsed
inside of him when he stepped intothe Randalls food with Boris Yeltsin. And

(01:39:15):
there are pictures that you can lookat online if you google it, and
I think Randalls is now Foodtown now, but there are photos you can look
of Yeltsin and Moscow supermarkets and they'revery different from the photos of him and
the Randalls now the food Town supermarket. And his view of the Communist Party

(01:39:38):
and Communism was destroyed by going toan American supermarket. He left the Communist
Party two years after that he began, and that's why he's viewed. That's
why Putin hates him. And Ilook, I'm not celebrating Boris Yelton,

(01:39:59):
but Putin hates him and was rememberwhen Putin gave an interview and he was
lamenting the fact that Russia lost itsyou know, it's it's Regalia as this
iconic country from the ear of Catherinethe Great. He spoke of Yeltsin and
what his view of what Yeltsin didto Russia very negatively, and two years
after that supermarket trip, Yeltsen leftthe Communist Party and began pushing some very

(01:40:25):
different not very successfully, but itbegan pushing some economic reforms in Russia,
and he stepped down voluntarily from officeI think it was in ninety nine because
they were they were going to prosecutehim and the only way that he could
avoid that was to step down.And that's when Putin took over, and

(01:40:48):
Putin previously was an aid to Yeltsin. And that Randall's supermarket apparently still there.
It's a foodtown. How they gotbought out by Food toown. But
I was thinking of this when Isaw that video of Tucker Carlson in the
supermarket at Moscow, because it isI don't think every from what I've heard,
I don't think every supermarket's like that, and it seemed to be almost

(01:41:14):
I don't know. It seems likeit's being promoted as a reversal of Yeltsin,
right, But that's when it changed. That's when things really changed,
and when Yeltsin began really pushing thesereforms that made a deep crack in the
not just the Communist hierarchy, butthe ideology, when you show people freedom,

(01:41:34):
you cannot walk them back to aposition of serfdom. When people taste
real choice and real liberty, youwill never force them to give it up.
And just the seed of that,that was what Russia so carefully was
trying to control, and I thinkstill to an extent now. But it

(01:41:59):
was a random supermarket that broke Yeltsinand I don't think any Moscow supermarket could
ever reverse the opinion that an Americanhas towards the Kremlin or their system of
governance. Don't let FOMO get thebest of you. Stay in the loop
and ahead of the curve by followingdata on Apple, Spotify or wherever you

(01:42:20):
get your podcasts. We need toban assault weapons and high capacity magazines,
require safe storage of guns, passa national red flag law, enact universal
background checks, and invest in provensolutions that reduce this would have done a
singular damn thing. None of thiswould have done. That's KJP. Just

(01:42:45):
moments agos it was miners involved ina dispute that sounds like gang violence.
And what law would make the illegalpurchase, what law would make illegal purchase
or any of this stuff illegaler likemurder even like what law would make murder

(01:43:06):
illegal? Or you know what Imean? Like this is so goofy.
They keep promoting the same stuff overand over again, and this they say
nothing at all whatsoever. What getsme is none of these, none of
these democrats ever say anything about theresortive justice rot of leftyda's and judges that

(01:43:28):
reduce penalties and drop charges, thelack of parental involvement, things that actually
drive these tragedies. More on thistomorrow. Today in stupidity came all right,
it is Janet Yellen. This iscut eleven one. She thinks we're
all better off than we were apre pandemic. Listen to this. Were
you and President Biden happy with whereinflation is right now? Well, look,
we know that Americans are experiencing discomfortbecause some important prices are highers than

(01:43:56):
they were pre pandemic. But whatI think is really important and is that
wages have gone up along with tryingto keep saying that, Sorry, so
the uptick inflation far outpaced wages.Sorry, yeah, completely, folks.
That does it for us for ourprogram today. Have a great night.
