(00:00):
Now people say that this TikTok bandwill only apply to TikTok or maybe another
company that pops up just like TikTok. But the bill is written so broadly
that the President could have used thatdiscretion and include other companies that aren't just
social media companies and that aren't,as some people would believe, controlled by
(00:21):
foreign adversaries. Again, we're givingthe president that discretion to decide whether it
is controlled by a foreign adversary.There were some people who were legitimately concerned
that this was an overly broad bill, and they got an exclusion written into
the bill that I want to read. It says, the term covered company
(00:42):
does not include an entity that operatesa website or application whose primary purpose is
to allow users to post product reviews, business reviews, or travel information and
reviews. Why is this exception inthe bill? Why did somebody feel like
they needed this exception if the billitself only covers social media applications that foreign
(01:03):
adversaries are running, These and otherquestions we hope to answer in the course
of this debate, and I reservethe balance of my time. I love
Thomas Massey. He's like the conscienceof the Nation, isn't he he really
is. Welcome to the show,Daniellasu here with you top of this very
first hour here on Wednesday. Ialmost said Tuesday, and you would have
been mad at me. It's Wednesday, We're halfway through. It's day.
(01:26):
And that was just from the debatethat took place because they passed that.
The House passed, and I wasgoing to go to the Senate. They
passed the TikTok bill, the billabout the tiktoks came. It's what they
passed. I hate this, damnmapp. I just you know, I
feel like I'm in a black mirrorepisode every time I get up and I'm
like, oh my gosh, Ihear the phrase TikTok star and I want
to yeat myself off at cliff SoHi, nice to be with you.
(01:51):
You can listen coast to coast.You can follow along stream it. You
may be listening to us right nowthrough the podcast, the archive podcast or
the video component the simulcast the channelthree forty seven Direct TV could find us
YouTube Facebook. Also, so thisbill, which we talked to Brendan Carr
(02:12):
with the FCC yesterday. He andMassey agree on a lot they agree on
more than they don't agree on.Let's just be clear with that stuff.
But he was saying that he isn'tyou know, Brendan Carr wasn't as concerned
with some of this other stuff thatwe were bringing up. And we asked
him and I pressed him on it, and I'm like, well, you
know, what did Amazon get acarve out? He did say that foreign
adversary was defined essentially as what NorthKorea, Russia, and Iran and China,
(02:38):
So foreign adversary of the Okay,well, there're tiktoks right there with
China. And then we talked aboutthe difference between illicit conduct and free speech
because you know, if you're doingsomething that's that's espionage, that's now under
our laws, that's not necessarily freespeech. That's not a free speech issue.
So we had that whole conversation yesterdaywith Brandon Carr, and you can
(03:00):
find that discussion also up at YouTube. We have it archived up there if
you missed it yesterday. Okay,So the situation with this bill, it's
going to go to the Senate,like I said, and they're demanding that
TikTok be sold. If you understand, if you don't understand the hierarchy here.
Ce you have Byte Dance, whichis a CCP company. CCP the
(03:22):
Communist Chinese Party now in China.And we've talked about this with Steve and
Yates before, and I'm just bringingeveryone up to speed in case some people
had an extended weekend, et cetera. With doing business in China. If
you're going to do business in China, you have to be a member of
the Communist Party and good standing allthe whatever that means, and you also
(03:42):
have to have like a member ofthe CCP on your board. So Byte
Dance, which is the parent companyof TikTok is it's CCP owned. I
mean, it's made up of CCPboard members and they have a CCP party
member on the board too. Imean it's crazy. I mean they're one
and the same. And that's howlot of businesses are in China. That
was one of the aspects of thebig takeover with a lot of business in
(04:04):
Hong Kong as well that people wereprotesting against. So TikTok is a subsidiary
of Byte Dance by dance being ownedby the CCP. So what the bill
is demanding is that Byte Dance sells. They can sell TikTok. They can
sell TikTok, just so long asthey're not going to be under that CCP
(04:24):
umbrella. And there's been a lotof debate as to how much or exactly
what information has been shared with theCCP by Bye Dance, because there's information.
One thing that's that's unarguable is thatthere is information that TikTok is sending
to Byte Dance, and Byte Danceis sending information to Beijing. Exactly what
(04:46):
all of that is, well,that's one of the big giant questions.
But with everything from the IP theftand you know, digital warfare and everything
else that we've seen just from Chinain the past decade plus, I mean,
it's they're up to nothing, nogood. I mean, there's no
reason why you need to send allof that information on users such as you
know like that to Beijing through ByeDance. So they're saying, look,
(05:10):
you got a divest, you haveto divest. Bite Dance has to sell
TikTok or they're going to ban it. In the US three fifty two to
sixty five is what it passed.So now this fight shifts to the Senate
and this is where this is goingto go now China, interestingly enough,
and I'm always endlessly amused when whentyrants and and you know, communist countries
decide that they want to try tosay that, oh, but you guys
(05:31):
have free speech, how dare younot let us be part of it.
They don't even have free speech inChina, but they have been trying to
use that as a way to stokemaybe some opposition on the right to use
the language of patriots to get youto support something that is CCP advantageous right.
And I do agree with Brendan Carrin that illicit conduct isn't free speech,
(05:56):
and espionage isn't an act of freespeech. But I also am concerned
about even getting anywhere close to theidea of giving the executive branch the authority
to ban apps. And that's nowI think for me to completely adopt the
former, I would have to totallydisregard nuance because we understand that that's not
(06:16):
what this bill does. But wealso understand and I actually spent I spent
some time going through the text ofit last night, and Brendan Carr we
talked to him again. FCC Commissioneryesterday is correct, and that yes,
the adversaries are defined. There's stillsome parts of the language that's a little
bit vague to me. Some partsof the text it's a little vague.
(06:38):
I thought the exclusions were interesting.I mean, I'm not going to ask
a member of the government and expectthem to be like, yes they did.
Actually did Amazon get a carve out? Oh? Yes they did.
I don't do you believe them didI don't care who it is. I
don't think they're going to tell me. But that being said, the legislation
is called the Protecting Americans from ForeignAdversary Controlled Applications Act. So it's going
(06:59):
to this Senate. We don't know, because the senate's pretty divided, and
it's not just Democrats and Republicans,like Republicans versus Republicans and Democrats versus Democrats.
It's really weird and that there areThis is not a party line thing.
I haven't been able to say thatabout a piece of legislation at quite
some time. This is not actuallya party line vote situation. This is
(07:24):
I think people who are maybe Ithink you can be on the left and
be more libertarian, and I thinkyou can be on the right and be
more libertarian. And that's where thedivide seems to be because there are some
senators on the Democrat party who agreeentirely with some senators in the Republican Party.
And there are some of those Democratsthat disagree with those Democrats, but
(07:45):
they agree with the other Republicans thatare disagreeing with those Republicans. So it's
a little bit uncertain to see becausethey feel pretty divided. And when you
look at other when you look atother efforts that states have made, whether
it's state life, what efforts,I think Florida has been one of the
most aggressive and most successful. Otherfederal attempts to curtail this with TikTok have
(08:07):
kind of stalled out. So theother thing that's really makes this all confusing
is you have to the two dudesrunning for president again that both like TikTok.
Donald Trump likes TikTok. He's defendingTikTok. Now, guys, here's
let me tell you something. Patriotismisn't kissing the ass of a leader and
(08:28):
thinking that that is being true toyour country. Patriotism is calling balls and
strikes where they hit. There isnot a single politician on God's Green Earth
that I agree with one hundred percent, and that includes Ron Decantis. I
don't know. Maybe it's because Igot the balls and I can say it.
I think everybody else needs to alsobe just as clear coded on this
(08:50):
stuff, because we can't have Trumpgoing out there bragging about the vaccine,
and we can't have Trump going outthere sitting here talking about how he likes
TikTok more than Facebook and that hedoesn't think TikTok should be banned. Stop
it, just stop. Don't dothat. Why why do you do that?
Oh my gosh, it's like Iwant to shape people and go Do
(09:13):
you not want to win in twentytwenty four? What is the matter with
you? Stop? Bit? Ifeel like a muppet, That's what I
feel like. Oh my gosh,because I saw that yesterday. I asked
Brendan Carr about that, and youguys saw it. Come on, now,
I don't care where you fought.This is not about well, I
(09:33):
can't criticize Trump because then I'm notMagot your gotti. Stop right now.
This is about consistency. Do youwant to win in twenty twenty four?
Do you want to be able tohave companies that are based in Beijing getting
information and using it and acts ofespionage against the interests of the United States,
(09:54):
Or do you just want to arguethat you don't think the government should
be able to band I mean,this is what we need to be honest
about. So what makes this wholething muddied is that you have both Biden
and Trump out there. They bothessentially agree on TikTok. I don't know,
do we accidentally get a boom orhigh What the hell? What is
happening here? I don't like TikTok. So they've been trying to tell me,
(10:16):
oh, we need to get ashow account on TikTok. Telling me
to do anything I don't want todo is really just a fool's errand and
I'm like, I'm not gonna geton TikTok, and they're like, well,
maybe we'll create a show tick becauseyou know, you got to go
to where I understand you got togo to where the culture is. But
out of spite sometimes I just willwell, I don't want to do it.
I just it's like that penguin meanwhen he crosses his arms. I
(10:39):
don't want to do it. Ifeel like that right now because Biden he
just literally created a TikTok account inFebruary for his campaign, and they try
to go the Democrats who are tryingto cover that up are like, well,
you know it was at Joe Bidenthat did it. It was his
campaign, Shut up, whose campaignis it? Oh, it's Joe Biden's
campaign. Okay, there's enough,set story the end. That's it.
(11:03):
But I need I need I needTrump to not be like, oh,
yeah, TikTok. We don't wantbecause he said that he's mad at Facebook.
Right. You look, I don'tlike Meta. I probably have more
reason than most people listening to notlike Meta. They have throttled the hell
out of me. They have theyhave, they have removed things, they
have demonetized things. They have comeat me six ways. They've hurt me
(11:24):
professionally so as YouTube very much so. So I have more reason than most
to not like Facebook and Meta.But I will say they refuse to bend
the knee in China. That iswhy there is no Facebook in China.
They have a CCP friendly alternative.So they don't have a Facebook in China
because they wouldn't been the need toit. So I got to give credit
(11:48):
to where credit is due. Nowsome of the other stuff we're gonna be
hitting. We're following the TikTok inthe Senate the late Do you know that,
Caine, this is fileless under reasonfivey eleventy four as to or do
cruizes because apparently they're still making portin Haiti. Anybody up for a barbecue?
Raha? Anyway, I shouldn't havesaid that, but I did.
(12:09):
So we're going to get into that. We got some law and order.
We got all kinds of stuff tohit. Immigration, We've got some culture,
the latest with the US and theGaza. Peer. No border wall,
but they'll do a peer outside ofGodsa. We got all of that
and a whole bunch more. Hi. I'm Erica, an English major at
Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President,doctor Larry arn with a Constitution minute.
(12:33):
Human soul is made to learn,and the highest things of life are the
best things to learn. One ofthese, it turns out, is the
way we govern ourselves, and oneof the best examples of that is the
Constitution of the United States. Itexplains what our government should look like and
how it should function to best protectour rights. It was created to give
us the freedom to make choices aboutthe way we wish to live. Unfortunately,
(12:56):
most colleges and universities today failed toteach our Constitution. When they do,
they often detegrate it. This isdangerous because it is impossible to reserve
our liberty if we don't understand whereit comes from and how to protect it.
Having a proper civics education is essentialto preserving our freedom. To learn
more and get a free pocket Constitution, visit constitutionminute dot com the news you
(13:22):
would probably miss it's time for Dana'sQuick five. I have to remark on
that Snitch commercial that plays that SnitchPSA. It's like, if you say
something, say something, Bess Snatch, don't Maybe I don't know, all
right, so I didn't say that. Who said that this is a ghost?
Scientists apparently just got closer to creatingartificial life in the lab. Well,
(13:43):
we already know that they've done itonce because it's president of the United
States. They said that this isthe road to how life can arise in
a liberatory. This sounds horrible.Who's your mom and dad a lab?
Washington Post quote scientists saying that they'vecreated an RNA molecule that copies of other
types of RNA, and they're closerto doing something they shouldn't be doing.
I'm telling you, guys, readabout the Tower and the Bible, right
(14:07):
right? I feel like that Natalieportm meme that Natalie Portman memere. Remember
the bab Tower Havel Right, it'sthe Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Those
scientists work from the theory that therewere there before they were torna or proteins.
RNA existed as the initial ingredient inthe quote unquote delicious primordial suit no
(14:28):
nam nam. And as part oftheir research, they said they created lab
made. Aren't it just stuff theyshouldn't be doing? Stop it? Stop
it? Do we not have enoughof a horror show in this world that
y'all gotta be doing more of it? And the lab stop? Somebody,
somebody get these scientists got lee creepy? Why I don't know why that the
Metro British publication is envisioning what amurder would look like in space, but
(14:50):
they are apparently in Britain they paidfor someone to study space murder. Ooh,
that almost sounds like a great afuturistic punk rock band with thrash metal
inspiration Space Murder. They said,it's CSI in Space. I wouldn't watch
that show. I don't think Iwould. It'd be kind of annoying.
(15:13):
They said that it revealed how forensicscience would apply in space by simulating blood
spatters, splatters, and micro somebodyis a little too excited about the blood
splatters? What two headlines in arow about weirdo scientists. They were studying
the way blood explodes out when youmrk someone in zero gravity m murders.
Yes, a lot of space.I mean, are they gonna go up
(15:35):
there and be murking some aliens?Or I don't know, Like, how's
this going to happen? So theyactually used they try to get the viscosity
of human blood and basically they hada Jackson Pollock moment in a zero gravity
environment and they were looking at whathappened to blood. Okay, there you
go. Also, let's see thenumber of California millionaires has grown. New
data shows despite exodus spears. Doyou know why it's grown because all the
(15:58):
poor people left. So all thepeople that are left there are the rich
people that can afford the virtue signalingindulgence of higher taxes. A man was
arrested in a now closed Michigan prison. I know I've heard of prison breakouts,
but I've never heard of someone breakingin the prison. But that's exactly
what happened in Standish, Michigan.Inmates trying to break out. That happens,
(16:22):
but trying to get into a formermaximum security facility. Well that took
place. The guy ended up gettingarrested, forty two year old Cody Bellamy.
So they caught him trying to getin the trying to get in the
pokey okay. A twelve year oldwas found spending the night alone inside of
an Ohio Target store. They saidColumbus police found the boy at six fifteen
am and that he was unaccompanied.He was there all night and he was
(16:48):
a runaway. I mean, there'sworst places to be. So we have
more in store. Stick with us. Such a nice name, Field of
Greens. That's a good journey aswell. Right now, if you're unfamiliar
with to take it, you takeone serving, one scoop it's uh and
you mix it with eight ounces ofwater or maybe milk or an on dairy,
but healthy, a healthy liquid.Let's just leave it at that right,
(17:10):
you get the idea. But whatthis is is it's it's not like
a supplement. It's it's nutrition theway nature intended. It's one hundred percent
USDA organic fruits and vegetables. It'sreal organic superfood and it works fast.
Antioxidants, fiber, prebiotics, allformulated by a team of physicians and one
scoop, like I said, inhealthy liquid, and it's going to you're
going to see you're going to seeresults. You're going to see results with

Dana Show. Check out the besthighlights from every show and Dana's Absurd Truth
podcast posted daily from The Dana Show. Congressmen, we're doing a number of
things to ensure that we're keeping trackof the situation and we're prepared. At
(18:19):
the moment, we have not yetseen large numbers what we would characterize as
a as a maritime mass migration,but we are alert to that there are
We are alert to that possibility.I think you're right that the driving conditions
in Haiti could very well press morepeople. So we've recently approved some additional
(18:41):
assistance that we can provide to theCoastguard. I think that that has now
fully been approved. We'll be providingnotifications if we haven't already to provide shipboard.
So this was this audio. Thisactually came I think a little late
yesterday. It was a Department ofDefense officials who said they were alerted about
a potential maritime mass migration from Haitiinto the United States. Welcome back to
(19:04):
the program. Bottom of this firsthour, Dana lash year with you,
and this is I was going totalk about this in our second hour but
I kicked it up because of somenew information, so that is true.
There have been there's been a lotof discussion about that, and now just
came out literally as well, maybewhat maybe thirty minutes ago. DeSantis is
(19:29):
now deploying additional personnel assets to southernFlorida and the Keys to stop the potential
influx of illegal immigration from Haiti.And they said that they've been already for
some time dedicating significant resources to combatthese illegal vessels coming to Florida from countries
like Haiti. So they have theDivision of Emergency Management, the Florida State
Guards, state law enforcement agencies,over two hundred and fifty additional officers,
(19:55):
soldiers and a dozen air in seacraftto the southern coast of Florida. They
said, we can not have thishappening, and he's right because they and
they've also added to Florida Fish andWildlife as well there in southern Florida,
so they're doing that. They havea whole other deployment from Florida State Guard
to the Keys alone to assist becauseapparently they're worried about these vessels coming up
(20:18):
on some of these some of theseislands and the Keys and kind of overwhelming
the area. Because one of thereports that I have, and this is
from a British, yeah, Britishpublication. I mean some of the vessels
you could have like anywhere from twohundred sometimes that a three hundred people on
and this is you know, wetalked about this on Monday when I told
(20:42):
everyone spring break we went to Turksand Caicos. And they have been since
and it's gotten worse. Since twentynineteen, they have been spending a good
chunk of their GDP repatriating and repellingHaitian illegal immigrants that are coming over on
these sloops. You know. Theysaid, no, there's there's no fewer
(21:03):
than forty or fifty of them ona boat at a time, and it's
a daily thing now, and thattheir military used to they would get a
call out and they would respond,not really so much their military because there's
a Commonwealth nation, they fall underBritish protection, but their own state security
agency would respond. And they usedto do that. They said maybe like
once or twice a month. That'severy single day, multiple times a day.
(21:26):
And their crime rate, their violentcrime rate has skyrocketed. And this
is not just happening to Turks andCaicos. I was reading last night that
a number of other nations have beendealing with this in the Caribbean as well.
And I mean, you're talking aboutthese islands that you know, they're
more tours and focused and they wantto make sure things are kept safe.
This could potentially rock their entire economy, especially if you have people who are
(21:49):
you know, going for summer vacation, spring break. No one sits here
and goes they want to go toHaiti. Now they go to Puerto Rico,
they go to Dominican Republic, theygo to Bahamas, they go to
Turks and Caicos, they you know, go to Saint tom. They got
all these beautiful islands that are allnow under threat of getting completely run over
locust style by people coming from Haiti. And you don't even know, there's
(22:11):
no way to guarantee who's coming.You don't know if some of it's like
some of the Haitian gangs looking toget us, you know, get a
stakehold in one of these countries thatthey're going to. And Florida they're trying
to get ahead of this. Sothey got win that it was this was
something that was going around yesterday theygot win that it's coming, and so
uh, it's getting worse and worseand worse over there. The Pentagon also,
(22:34):
I said yesterday that they were theyhad evacuated the embassy over there.
Now the Pentagon sends anti terrorism marinesto beef up security at the US embassy
because the company, they say it'son the brink of civil war. But
for all intents and purposes, they'rein civil war. So they sent more.
So they're already boots on the groundthere to help evacuate the embassy.
I guess they learned their lesson maybefrom Afghanistan. So they were sent to
(22:57):
Haiti to beef up security. Thiswas twenty four hours after their prime minister
fled, actually forty eight after hefled the country. Twenty four after he
resigned. They have the elite fleetAnti terrorism security team. Fast they were
dispatched. The guy who's basically incharge of Haiti right now, Jimmy Cherzier,
(23:17):
they call him Barbecue. He calledfor a quote bloody revolution, and
so the EU said they were sendinghumanitarian aid. That's about twenty one million
dollars to Haiti. That's all there. That's what Turks and Keikos spends actually
not even they spend over that annuallyto repel illegal Haitian immigration. The EU
(23:37):
could probably do more. Britain couldprobably do a little bit more. That
was something that I heard from.I mean, how many of these nations
down there fall under the Commonwealth?You know, we know Puerto Rico and
the United States, but how manylike you know what like Turks and Kikos
for instance, some of these otheryou know, Commonwealth nations. What is
Britain doing about this watch this area, because we already know at the southern
(24:00):
border there have been a ton ofHaitian illegal immigrants at the southern border.
Now they're just going straight for Florida. But they said that the organization of
crime one of the reasons that thesethese gangs have been able to very easily
take controls. They already had agang element and a criminal network in Haiti
(24:21):
for quite some time already, andthey were able to just maximize it.
And they've been spreading it to othernations, trying to get toe holds there
as well and expand their operations.The embassy technically in Haiti is still open,
but they've had gangs in open firefights. The cops and soldiers are trying
to you know, in Haiti aretrying to do as much as they can,
but the gangs tried to seize theairport. They've been targeting government sites,
(24:45):
but this it's been it's been tough. They've had what Corey Mills,
he was there at the Have Faithorphanage at Portal Prince. He's been heavily
critical of the president. He saidthat this is another it's a clear pattern
of abandonment. And he says thathe thinks that the group was left behind
by Biden in the State Department becausethey were requesting their help and country.
(25:10):
So we'll see. They said,US Southern Command is prepared with a wide
range of contingency plans to ensure thesafety and security of US citizens in Haiti.
But they say and the other thingtoo that I see is they're trying
to some media are trying to rehabilitateBarbecue the gang. That's what we're called,
you know, Prime Minister Barbecue overthere. And they're like, oh,
he's a former police officer, asthough there are never any bad cops,
(25:33):
right, But he actually went outand said, yes, I the
violence is all mine. I wanta bloody revolution. He's already gone out
and claimed it. And they believethat Haiti, a little over eighty percent
of it is entirely well. Theysaid that the capitals now under it's in
gang control. Poor our Prince istotally controlled by the gangs now. And
they think two hundred gangs operate aroundHaiti and it's mostly in Portal Prince,
(25:56):
mostly mostly in the main city.So they're there, they go the Prime
minister one he went to he wentto Puerto Rico and he recorded a statement,
So, man, do you seewhat all these other nations now are
having to deal with and absorb?So that barbecue dude is the most powerful
dude in Haiti. And in themeantime, they have Florida's getting ready for
(26:19):
the influx. And uh so he'sso this guy, the Prime Minister,
he was redirected to Puerto Rico.He's been there ever since the weekend.
The Dominican Republic wouldn't have him.And now the Keny what is it?
I read this morning that Kenyon policewere on hold, so apparently that's I
guess they were going to rely onsome of them to kind of push back
(26:41):
against the gangs. Initially, sowe'll keep an eye on this. Sole
it's a weird, a weird theway that this happened. It's just odd.
The whole thing is weird. Area couple of other things to get
into lawn order. Speaking of lawand order, all Taco Bell locations in
Oakland have announced the indefinite closure ofall of their dining rooms due to a
(27:02):
series of robberies and a crime surge. They're switching to cashless drive through only.
That is how bad it is inOakland, cashless drive through only,
they said, all the Taco Bellrestaurants, they said that it's this is
sadly, it's a new reality forcustomers. They can't go in and sit
down and they have to go getdrive through. And they said it's a
(27:26):
safety and business decision. That's whatthey said. It's a safety and business
decision. So that's because they can'tthey can't deal with the crime anymore.
They can't deal with it. SoI'm that's pretty that's kind of wild,
the fact that Taco Bell, thatyou can't even have a fast food First
of all, who's rob's a TacoBell. The fact that you can't even
(27:47):
have a Taco Bell be open inOakland. I mean that tells you everything
that you need to know about GavinNewsom and the state of I mean,
California is the ultimate culmination of everyDemocrat policy. If you want to know
what the endgame is, look atCalifornia and Oakland. And in Oakland six
months, their crime is skyrocketed,just like in the past year. But
(28:07):
they said they had a Denny's whichwas an iconic Denny's that closed after fifty
four years in the same location,and they said it was crime and the
safety and well being of their employeesand customers. They closed an in and
out in Oakland. They closed anin and out. They even had the
n Double ACP me pulled this storyup. This was over at red State
(28:33):
back in July of last year.Oakland in DOUBLEACP absolutely rips into woke DA
defund police activists in a call toaction on crime because they said that Oakland
has a public safety crisis. Sothey actually were at odds in DOUBLEACP with
BLM in Oakland and all of thesefar left activists in Oakland. They said,
(28:56):
quote, Oakland residents are sick andtired of the intolerable public safety crisis
that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities, murdersand shootings and violent arm robberies, home
invasions, car break in, sideshows, highway shootouts. That's a pervasive
fixture of life in Oakland. Wow. Now the UH restaurants that Taco Bell
(29:19):
has closed, they're well, they'reclosing just the dining rooms only, but
it is all cashless drive through andthey did. They did confirm that we
had to because they had to hireEven by doing that, they still had
to hire extra security guards because it'sthat dangerous. So this is what happens
though, when you have soft oncrime restorative justice, this is what you
(29:44):
get with it. Now we havemore law and order on the way,
including coming up and I know lateron this week we have Missouri ag Andrew
Bailey on about this. We're goingto talk about this story that came out
of We had mentioned it before.I think we mentioned it Monday of this
girl who was nearly murdered by anotherteenage girl in Saint Louis, our hometown
(30:04):
and it was at East Hazlewood andit was outside of the school. We
talked a little bit about this andshe, I mean, I don't know
how she wasn't killed. She's stillalive, but she was attacked so viciously,
and the other teenage girl took herhead and repeatedly bashed it as hard
as she could into the concrete,trying to kill her. She was trying
(30:26):
to murder her. I don't knowwhat well you look at that video and
you tell me that your mind thinksanything else. And the police are investigating
all of this stuff, but itwas a fifteen year old girl that the
victims fighting for her life. She'sstill in critical condition. And you can
even see in the video after anotherteenage girl thankfully shoves the attacker off the
victim. The victims laying on theground, and she's seizing, she's convulsiing,
(30:48):
she's twitching. It is terrifying towatch. And Andrew Bailey is now
involved. He's done with this,he's done with this stuff. So we're
going to talk to him later inthe week and we're going to talk more
about this story coming up, alongwith a number of other things we've been

Do you know how this fire started? Yes? I do. It was
cousin, my cousin, and Idon't want to mention no names. Your
(32:39):
cousin. Yes, And you saidyou think your cousin started this. How
do you know how or why?He's mad because he couldn't he can't get
with me. I'm married to myhousband. My what It's a long story,
just make it short. Yeah,he already put him in the hospital
once last month, and if he'sgonna do something else to get back,
(33:01):
all right, So right now,uh, all right? The fire.
This guy, I love it.This is like one of my friend Lawrence
Jones, was interviewing people for springbreak and he was asking this girl what
she needed and she was like,I need some bronza and cocaine. And
God love him, poor little Lawrence, who was like one of the purest
people you'll ever meet in your life. I mean, that man really is.
I never even heard him say anaughty word. And he stood there
(33:22):
looking at her like he needed tohe needed to call his pastor because what
he just heard. I was dyinglaughing at that, dying, Oh my
gosh, because Lawrence is like anold school Southern gent right, and he
just doesn't know how to deal withthose ladies. He just does not know.
But that was and like this chick, that reporter talking to her,
(33:44):
you could almost see his brain shortcircuit. He's like, what did I
just hear? And you heard it? Here? He goes your cousin.
She's like, yeah, my cousin, Oh my gosh, what, oh
my gosh. That's not like breakingnews or anything. That video has been
circulating for a little bit. Butit's just fun too, you know.
I think it's the epitaph for oursociety. We're supposed to have a solary
(34:06):
cl when's the solary class? Thedays of the United States? April eighth,
April eighth, and maybe, Idon't know, maybe the world will
end. I'm just saying, youknow, don't get sad about it.
We've had a good run. Nowit's just a mess, you know,
that is what it is. Nofor real, But there's gonna be a
solar eclipse, and I was Iam still shocked. So I was reading
(34:28):
about this right before I went tobed last night, and this is where
I get all my stupid questions from, because I'm the person right before I
go to sleep and I'm like,you know, I'll ask my husband,
like, you know, what ifI had three legs, how fast could
I run? I asked him likequestions like that, like how much would
an additional leg speed me up?I asked him things like this, and
he looks at me like I've spoutedanother head into my neck. So I
(34:51):
was reading about the solar eclips andhow uh this Texas? Like, isn't
it a Texas town that had declaredsome kind of like emergency because they have
so many people coming through. It'sthe Hillsborough and I think this is this
isn't Texas? And they call ittotality eclipse. I guess what it is.
(35:14):
I don't know. I don't knowthis stuff. But anyway, they
said that it's on April eighth,and the Hillsboro is the seventh best place
in the country to view it byAstronomy Magazine. They're expecting sixty thousand people.
Now here's what fascinates me. Thereare sixty thousand people that are going
to like go on a trip togo and watch an eclipse from a plane.
(35:37):
Even there are people booking flights.They're booking flights so they can be
in the air at the time thiseclipse is happening, and their flight path
is right in the path of theeclipse. Who the hell are these people?
That sounds incredibly inconvenient. I don'tlike to be inconvenience on my downtime,
right, Are you like that withme? Like I am allergic to
(35:59):
it? That sounds like you're you'rewillingly sorry going through an airport. How
long does the eclipse happen? Howlong does it last? Like a few
minutes? I don't know. Ican't imagine much more than a few minutes.
That's I don't know what I thinkof that. Those are some very
odd folks. Odd folks. I'mjust saying, I'm gonna inconvenience myself to
(36:22):
once the sun get covered up fora little bit. I don't. I
don't. I mean, if that'syour jam, you know, it takes
all kinds. We got another houron the way, A lot of stuff
to cover, including the latest TheTikTokers are sad guys, stay with us.
Have you seen any of those viralvideos the ones that show aisles stacked
with emergency food supplies and stores.It kind of makes you wonder, like,
what do they know that you don't, Well, you already know how
I feel about being prepared myself,So why bother with the hassle of stores?

(37:30):
code data and the president has saidthat he would sign into law the bill
that could have TikTok banned. Ifthe president is so concerned about the national
security risks around TikTok, why ishe posting on the platform. So I'll
say this, Jake Sullivan, ourNational Security advisor, just spoke to the
more broadly, why this bill isimportant, why we welcome this bill,
(37:53):
obviates going to the process and so, and we're offering tech technical support.
So I'll just leave that piece asit relates to the campaign, I would
have to and their strategy as itrelates to TikTok. I'm just gonna leave
it to them. Well, theTikTokers are very sad, they're very upset.
That was Carrie Jean Pierre talking aboutthe TikTok bill, which passed the
(38:15):
House and is now making its wayto the Senate, where that's a little
less certain what's gonna happen there,because you have a number of Democrats who
actually oppose, they are in supportactually of the devestment between Bye Dance and
TikTok, because Byte Dance is theparent company. Welcome back to the program,
top of this second hour here onWednesday, Tana Lash with you you
(38:36):
can listen coast to coast. Youcan find this channel three forty seven Direct
TV as well. The simulcasts thevideo component of the radio program. The
TikTokers are quite upset. I thinkit's interesting if the Chinese government how much
how many billions do they have wrappedup in TikTok kane would you think?
I wouldn't even know. I wouldsay it's at least forty because it's one
(38:59):
of the not every social media platformis in every country, but TikTok is
right, so like Facebook isn't inChina because Mark Zuckerberg always refused, to
his credit, had always refused toplay that game, Like I think parts
that like X all this other stuff, so they're not TikTok is like the
(39:20):
one that is actually everywhere, Sothat way bigger, more billions, I
think, I they really if Ithink, here's the stunning thing. I
am with great interest watching what Chinadoes, if the Senate does, If
the Senate, let's just say thatthe Senate passes this bill, the House
(39:45):
bill on demanding for TikTok to stayavailable in the United States, what is
the what's going to do? What'sChina's react going to be to that because
if they divest, if they soldit, I can't imagine how they wouldn't
(40:07):
lose money. I'm just trying tothink of who could buy it, who
could afford the price tag for it? That's number one, So wouldn't it
be number two? Wouldn't that bekind of a fire sale for them?
Would Yeah? So then that bringsme to my third point here if they
(40:30):
do I if they end up doinga I'm just wondering if they end up
doing the fire sale or not.If they end up divesting and they sell
it, clearly they want to controlit. And if it looks like money
is no object to them to stillhave influence with it, isn't that significant?
I mean doesn't that kind of tellyou everything that you would would maybe
(40:52):
need to know about their motivations forthis? Yeah? I mean it looks
like only the government could afford it. Yeah, you know what I mean.
So we're going from China harvesting ourdata to just the US government harvesting
our data. M hmm. Idon't know about that. I'm and I
know that there's been Like I said, I know that there's been like a
(41:14):
lot of a lot of debate onhow much information TikTok is actually sharing and
sending back to byte Dance, andyou know what they're you know, all
of this stuff like what they're sending, what they're sending in, and what
what Bye Dance is receiving and whatinformation is it and how is it like
tracking our you know, we all. I get it that there's a lot
(41:36):
of there's a lot of debate overthat. But again, you know,
I espionage isn't under the First Amendment, Illicit conduct isn't covered by the First
Amendment. But I also understand theFirst Amendment implications of it. And I'm
also very wary of giving government athumbs up thumbs down, because when you
give government control of something, Ijust feel like you, as humanity,
as a citizen of that nation,are waving a white flag of surrender at
(41:57):
self governing or control. That yougive the government. You are saying that
you cannot be you are not responsibleto govern yourself, that you as a
people are incapable of governing yourselves,that you are incapable of making smart decisions.
This is, by the way,why I hate the idea of term
limits, and I disagree. Thisis the one thing I disagree with round
(42:20):
To Santras on term limits. Ithink that term limits are the responsibility of
the voter. I think the morepower we give to the government that we
are waiving the white flag of surrenderssaying we are ungovernable. We are too
we can't govern ourselves, we aretoo stupid to determine how long someone should
be in office. We're short changingourselves as citizens. So that's one thing
(42:43):
I always come back to. Itry to run everything through that lens.
However, at the same time,I also understand that if you are engaging
in what is essentially espionage, that'snot a First Amendment issue. Tracking people's
data and learning American behavior so thatyou can foist upon them some psychological warfare,
(43:04):
well that's not really First Amendment stuff. I actually understand both sides of
this argument. I'm I'm inclined to. I am inclined to, actually more
or less, I just wish thatthe bill wasn't so vague. I wish
it wasn't because there's some vagary therethat I think we all have an issue
(43:30):
with, and that's kind of mymain problem, one of my big problems
with it. But if we Ifeel like you know, this comes down
to our ability to manage digital communication. Really, that's that's it. I
(43:52):
don't think that. But on theopposite end of that, I also don't
like the idea of giving power orencouraging a nation that is classified as a
foreign adversary. And again, whenI spoke with Brendan Carr of the FCC
yesterday, he was saying that hereare the four. You have China,
you of Iran, you have Russiaof North Korea. These are the four
(44:13):
that we define as foreign adversary.So that is how it's defined in the
context of this bill. I alsodon't like giving power to a foreign adversary
to determine what it is that weas Americans see what we see. We
talk about all the time the algorithmsof Facebook and x and all this other
stuff controlling what we see. That'sthe same argument with TikTok. But with
(44:37):
TikTok, it's not American leftists,it's communists in Beijing that are determining what
you see, what information you're consuming. So the TikTok. Have you seen
some of the protesters out there,Kane, we were talking about this on
break. How much money do youthink people make on TikTok or how much
(44:58):
I mean, what's like a moresuccessful time talk salary. You think I
can't believe myself. I praised,to be honest with you, I wouldn't
even know as far as the numbers, but I do know that people live
streaming can make money. I knowthat people with content on TikTok can make
money. You know, in myopinion, they're smart to monetize it because
now people get so locked in.Now it becomes more than just a something
they're scrolling through for entertainment, andit becomes an income source, and it
(45:22):
becomes really important to people. AndI think that's why they chose now to
have this fight. I hate theidea because I keep seeing these articles were
I'm sorry, I'm pulling up oneright now. I have a million windows
open. The TikTok stars came,the stars of tik talk. They're all
(45:43):
out, they're protesting. It iskind of difficult, Like I said,
when you have the president, thecurrent president and our former president both have
different parties who actually both like TikTok. It's true. I discussed with you
yesterday. It's true. I don'tget mad at me. That's just the
(46:04):
way it is now Trump. Iliked Trump's original position where he was hostile
towards CCP, owned by Dance ownedTikTok, but now he had said I'm
not a fan of Facebook, andhe was trying to compare TikTok to Facebook.
And again I have more reason thanmany to loath the meta and the
(46:25):
algorithms that in YouTube. They havehurt me professionally, the thwarting, and
it really kicked up after Parkland,so I have more reason than most.
But they didn't ban. They didn'tbend a need to China. That's why
Facebook isn't in China, so Imet I can't do business there. They
were very Tarantino about it, youknow the story with Quentin Tarantino, right
once upon a time in Hollywood.In order to gain access to all of
(46:46):
China's very coveted movie screens, whichare a multitude of them and growing every
year, you have to go throughtheir censorship board and it has to be
pro China can't be any criticism.And they were mad over the way that
Bruce Lee was portrayed and once upona time of that Tarantino head director,
Once upon a time in Hollywood,and they had asked him to change it,
and he told them to go poundsand, so they didn't get a
(47:07):
Chinese opening. It's kind of howFacebook was not kind of that's how they
were too. They said, gopound sand. We're not doing that,
so I give them credit. Iam not going to sit here and champion
a CCP entity over an American ownentity. I'm not going to do it.
Just my American DNA prevents me.So I understand because they say,
(47:28):
well, Meta suppresses you know,pro Trump content on Facebook and Instagram,
but it does very well on TikTok. There was an operative who had said
that, and I'm like, okay, you need a question. Why don't
take the bait. There's a reasonwhy you are being baited. I don't
know. Maybe you have to becynical or be in this to watch this
(47:52):
for a number of years before youcan see it. You're being baited.
Though. The answer isn't to empowerthe CCP more. There isn't. It's
it's not to empower them more so, I just I don't know, Like
I know that there's some relations withUH funders and backers and fundraisers and bundlers,
(48:15):
and you know you have vivig Ramaswamiwho once said it was digital fentanyl,
but then he's on TikTok and extollingthe virtues of TikTok. I just
to me, if it's a conflictwith Biden, then it's a conflict with
Trump, right. That doesn't makeyou less of a fan of Trump to
acknowledge this. Be a bigger fanof yourself before you're before anybody else,
(48:37):
including politicians. Be your own biggestfan, before you put the interest and
fandom of a politician or another entitybefore yourself. Well, actually be a
fan of Jesus. Then be afan of yourself. That So, I
don't know what's gonna happen in theSenate because they're very They're not split along
(48:58):
party lines. It's like Democrat versusDemocrat, Republican versus Republican, and they're
Democrats and Republicans that line up onthe side of this. But I gotta
say the TikTok folks is kind offunny that they're very upset. This is
our lively. I'm just like,what would you have to do to get
it? You'd have to get ajob. You have to get a job.
(49:20):
Rand Paul made this point he said, people who want to be in
TikTok claim the data can't be securedbecause of the algorithm is in China.
He says it's not true. Thealgorithm runs in the US and Oracle Cloud
with their review of code, notin China. He says. It's sixty
percent of the of the company isowned by US and international investors. Twenty
percent is owned by the company founders. However, in twenty twenty one,
(49:43):
the CCP purchase the golden share Steakand byte Dance, so they outvote all
other shareholders. So that's not actuallyaccurate. And I love Senator Paul,
but that wasn't actually accurate. Theyare controlled. Let's be let's be entirely
fact based about this stuff. Whenyou have the golden share, you can
(50:05):
outvote all the other shareholders, andthat's the CCP's ownership of byte Dance effective
twenty twenty one. So that isincorrect what he said. We have a
lot more to hit on, includingsome cultural stuff. I've got an update.
Now you have Missouri's Attorney General AndrewBailey, who's weighing in on that
(50:25):
brutal video of that fifteen year oldgirl getting beaten to almost death outside of
her school. We're going to talkabout that and more. Our partners that
help bring you free radio. It'sour friends over a Black Rifle Coffee.
This is a veteran owned coffee companyand they make the best coffee out there,
(50:47):
and a veteran owned, veteran operated, and they employ active duty and
retired veterans. I have Black RifleCoffee every morning. It's delicious coffee.
The tact to Squatch is my jamright now, and it's just good coffee.
A lot of people, I thinka lot of people have a problem
with successful veteran businesses, and they'reusually on the left and they try to
(51:08):
sigh up the right about it becauseBlack Rifle Coffee poses such a threat to
Starbucks and all these other bad companiesout there that don't make as good a
coffee. So be aware of that. A lot of people are being baited
into being these like leftist tools forthem to go after veteran owned companies because
unfortunately, not a lot of peoplelike veterans anymore apparently. But Black Rifle

(52:15):
And now all of the news youwould probably miss. It's time for
Dana's Quick five. All right,I realized, you know what I did
that I read our this hour's headlineslast hour. So now we're going back
to the plantasaf. So apparently thisis The Guardian. The American dream of
owning a home is dead. Accordingto a majority of renters. They were
(52:38):
surveyed by Harris as a hair surveywho said that the areas that they live
in have become so unaffordable that they'rebarely livable. It's the Harris poll thought
leadership in future practice. I'm curiousas to where I haven't looked at the
crosstabs for this, but I'm curiousas to where they were looking at this,
because you know, there's a reasonthat starter home is a phrase and
(53:00):
why you don't always get in yourchosen neighborhood. That has been true just
as much now as it was twentyyears ago. But they said that most
people, it is true, itis very difficult anymore to be able to
purchase a home, and it's beenmade even more unaffordable by this administration.
Ireland surprisingly stopped this leftist assault onwomen. Ireland rejected this is according to
(53:24):
the New York Times, they rejecteda constitutional change. They were two proposed
amendments, and they were going toreflect the more secular liberal values of the
nation's modern era, and they weregoing to remove language about literally the word
women and about the definition of familybeyond marriage and women's chosen role if she
(53:45):
should land that way towards the homeall of that, and they actually rejected
it. They rejected it by awide margin. It was an unexpected defeat
for quote unquote equality campaign. Sogood for that. I'm happy that that
Irish citizens went to the polls onInternational Women's Day, no less to protect
(54:07):
women. They weren't going to allowwomen to be erased from their constitution,
so good on them. Also,let's see a couple of things. Oh,
this was interesting as right, becauseladies, we're all going to have
to go through it someday. Apparently, taking two popular supplements after the menopause
could raise women's risk of heart attackaccording to a twenty year study. It's
(54:30):
not the vac still, yeah,it's not the vacs, guys or ladies.
But you know what the what theysaid the supplements were calcium and vitamin
D. What they now kine itwas. They said a twenty year study.
There is a calcification situation. Butwe'll have to we don't have time
to talk about it right now.But look at him, he's already formulating
(54:50):
a book in his head. It'sjust them telling you. I thought that
was kind of weird. And switchingto evs could actually spare sixty thousand children
for birth defects and autism in justtwelve st it's alone, according to a
new study. We'll touch on thatlater when we bash evs again. Stick
with us as we move our partnersover at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian
conservative cell phone service in the nation. They don't have any kind of byte
(55:12):

remember about Patriot Mobile, like Isaid, over ten years now, they
and their mind. This is theservice I actually use, Like my whole
family uses Patriot Mobile, and Ihave great coverage. I mean they have
great customer service and great coverage,in fact, dependable nationwide coverage on all
three major networks. You're getting thebest service in your area. But most
(55:37):
importantly, you're not funding the left. A lot of these big cell phone
companies they do that. And whenyou switch to Patriot Mobile, you're putting

using cost savings from previously approved Pentagoncontracts. The package includes munitions and rounds
help Ukraine hold the line against Russian'sbrutal attacks for the next couple of weeks,
which I have the authority to dowithout asking Congress for some more money
(56:42):
right now. But I've asked themfor a lot more money, and so
we're but it's not nearly enough thatI'm announcing today. Are they going to
drop them on people like they didin Gaza? No, I thought those
turkeys could fly. Welcome back tothe program. Bottom of the second hour,
(57:06):
Dana, lash with you. Thatwas the President announcing more monies going
to Ukraine. More monies. Well, it's equipment because he can't give the
money yet. Yeah, be he'ssending more stuff over there. That's who
owns that. That's my stuff,our stuff. I mean, I don't
even know what stuff I have.I just wish that I was as well
armed as the Ukrainian military that we'resending all our stuff to. Right,
(57:28):
I just want I just want whatthey left for the Taliban, That's all
I'm saying, right, I justwant what I have coming to me.
I just want what's mine if youfollow peanuts, and I don't know right
anyway, deep dive. So uh, it's what well, they did announce.
They did announce money, though.Listen to this audio, somebody two.
This is Jack Sullivan National Security.Listen. So today, on behalf
(57:52):
of President Biden, I'm announcing anemergency package of security assistance of three hundred
million dollars worth of weapons and equipmentto address of Ukraine's pressing needs. You
know, this is possible because ofunanticipated cost savings in contracts the DoD negotiated
to replace equipment we've already sent toUkraine through previous strudgy. So it's money,
I mean, it's you know,regardless, we could we could send
(58:15):
some of the stuff to Taiwan,but we don't, or Taiwan wants to
buy it. You know, weaponsare fungible too, Yeah, they are.
All of that. It's money.Everything's the money, you know,
all of that's money. Like Itell my kids, you know, whenever
you're making a purchase, you haveto determine whether or not the dollar is
the amount of your life. Yourmoney is a measure of your life.
(58:36):
If you want to spend that muchof the life that you spent making that
money on this item, you haveto determine if you spending your life on
that item, that much of yourlife is worth. It really changes the
perspective of buying things when you talkabout it like that, and it also
further enrages you when you consider justhow much is hurting everybody. But I
(59:02):
am curious, are they just gonnajust drop stuff on people? I'm just
you know, I'm wondering, soall that money, And then of course
we have the peer that they're dockPier peer port. It's a peer for
Gaza that they're constructing. And Iam made of questions about this still,
Like, for instance, I don'tunderstand why we don't just scooch it on
(59:22):
down a little bit scooch it ondown and at least enjoy if we have
to do it, be in Egyptianwaters and then go through put it up
on land and just go down thelittle road and make a left ur offa
Why don't we do that? Imean, we're these are hostile forces,
(59:43):
the enemy of our ally, You'regonna have rockets, you got snipers,
you got I mean, it's totaldestroyed urban warfare. What happens if you
know the marine setting all this up, thats if they take fire? What
happens if they fire on them?It's hamas? What happens they have American
(01:00:07):
hostages? You think that they won't? I mean, what happens then?
I mean, this is such astupid idea. Of course, this is
from the administration that was like,yeah, let's close Bagram and move our
staging area to the Hamid Karzai InternationalAirport there in the safe center of Kabble,
(01:00:30):
which is entirely run by the Talibanthat we saw coming two months ago
when they were telling everyone that theywere coming on WhatsApp because they did that
administration, But seriously, what happensif how far do we know how far
away offshore they're putting this peer.The reason I ask this is because what
(01:00:55):
happens if people overwhelm the area ifit's close enough to shore, which I
don't know if it is. That'swhy I'm asking. It seems dumb,
but if you have boats commings,what happens if things just go sideways?
None of that makes sense. It'sjust one of the goofiest things I've ever
seen, and but we're committed toit, I guess, so, I
(01:01:15):
don't know. Speaking of Gaza,you had the queen, the Turkish or
sorry, the Jordanian queen, QueenRania of Jordan, and she was saying
that she was mad at Israel fordefending itself and I wanted to play this
SoundBite because I found this to beabsolutely asidine. We had this from yesterday
(01:01:37):
that we held over, and shewas saying that this was about Israel and
how much what people in Gaza haveexperienced is so much worse. It's so
much worse. We had this,Do we have this? It was from
the audio SoundBite from yesterday, andthis was we should have it because I
really would hate to skip over it. We were supposed to carry this over
(01:02:00):
from yesterday, but she was talkingto CNN's Christian amenpor and her response was
that, well, Israel has experiencedonly one October seventh. Palestinians have experienced
one hundred and fifty eight October seventh. And I'm thinking, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa whoah.First off, no, and secondly,
(01:02:22):
no, Israelis have been sticking grenadesand gosen women's vaginas. Listen to
this. You know, I wouldsay that as devastating and as traumatic as
October seventh was, it doesn't giveIsrael license to commit atrocity after atrocity,
and Israel experienced one October seventh.Since then, the Pilatinians have experienced one
(01:02:45):
hundred and fifty six October seventh.Now they haven't. That's not true.
And you know what, they shouldn'thave voted for Hamas, and they shouldn't
keep electing Hamas, and you shouldn'thave to suspend elections recently because Hamas was
so popular, they almost assumed controlin the West Bank as well as Gaza.
(01:03:05):
That's the problem. No, theyhad you had to cease fire on
October sixth, And I really doquestion. I know that people are trying
to keep the separation and don't.I don't subscribe to the idea that there
are no innocence there. However,you voted for Hamas there were citizens that
took part in the terroristic the atrocitiesagainst Israelis. There were videos mass amounts
(01:03:34):
of civilians spitting and kicking on thebarely living bodies of Israelis that had been
kidnapped and brought back into Gaza hostageafter hostage who had finally been freed,
although more still remaining captivity, talkabout how they were kept in civilian homes
with civilians. So stop, let'snot pretend that everyone's stupid. And I
(01:04:02):
just found Rania's remark to be absolutelyracist and ignorant, and it betrays a
deep bigotry on her part. Idon't recall Israelis, like I said,
putting grenades into the vaginas of godsand women. I don't recall Israelis cutting
the breasts off of godsen women whilethey gang rape them in front of their
(01:04:24):
children. I don't recall Israelis puttingbabies of gosen women in the ovens and
cooking them to death. So youcan't be both the aggressor and the victim.
The idea that a country doesn't havethe right to defend itself is asinine.
(01:04:44):
That's why everyone just needs to getout of their way. I hope
every single dog that is a memberof Hamas is burned to ash, and
I hope that anyone that had beenin any way culpable or even sympathetic to
their plight is terrified, so terrifiedthat they never ever commit another atrocity like
that, and that lesson reverberates throughoutthe generations. Sometimes brutality should be answered
(01:05:11):
with brutality. That is the costof war. It's why war is horrible,
and it's why your back Hamas shouldnot have entered into it so lightly.
The fad Now they're foing while Jordanlooked the other way. If Jordan
feels so strongly about it, whydon't they take all of these refugees in.
You can sit there and do yourlittle interview by all the boxes of
(01:05:33):
aid and everything else. But that'sweird. I don't see any refugees there
with you. Are they welcomed intothe palace all those quote unquote Palestinian If
we're going to use the name ofan area that has literally never existed at
all in antiquity, and it wasactually a spiteful name given by Hadrian to
a conquered people, named after thePhilistines who are from Crete and we're seafaring.
(01:05:56):
But I digress. Where are therefugee? Are they in the palace?
Is that why we don't see themthere? With all the aid that
is supposedly going over that Hamas isgonna take again like they took the last
time and the time before that.Terrorists thrive on the indulgence of this concern
theater, because if all of thesepeople were so concerned, they would have
(01:06:18):
bent over backwards to make sure thatHamas honored the ceasefire that was in place
on October sixth, and the onethat was in place before they broke it
the last time, and the onethat was in place before they broke it
the last time before that, andthe one that was in place before they
broke it the last time before thatbefore that. Susperis now moving on this
(01:06:39):
story that came out of my homestate of Missouri and my hometown of Saint
Louis East Hazelwood. The video ishorrific. A fifteen year old girl.
She wasn't attacked just by another team, and I feel like this is more
medium alpractic is to describe it thisway. She wasn't just attacked by another
(01:07:03):
teenager. She was attacked by agroup of teenagers, but there was one
main aggressor who wouldn't let up.And it was the girl who grabbed this
fifteen year old her head. Hername is Kaylee, slammed it against the
asphalt ground repeatedly. She was infull mount, grabbed her head, bashed
(01:07:28):
it onto the ground. She wastrying to kill her. You don't watch
that. You can't watch that videoand walk away thinking anything but that teenager
was trying to kill that girl.I think it's attempted murder. I think
she should be arrested and charged forattempted murder, not just assault. And
if this fifteen year old victim diesbecause she hasn't woken up in the video
(01:07:50):
when thankfully another teenage girl knocks herout of the way, and I want
to make a quick note, Iactually don't look at this unless the motive
comes up that it is. It'sI don't look at this as a racial
thing. It was a black teenfighting a white teen The victim's white,
but it was a black teenager thatknocked a black teen off the white girl
in the first place. The reasonI say this is because I've watched six
(01:08:12):
videos in three days that are allrecent of a multitude of white kids and
black kids attacking older people or otherpeople. This is a youth problem.
Kids aren't getting their ass beat enough, if you ask me. So.
This victim is fighting for her life. She hasn't woken up. She's in
critical condition. She has brain swelling, brain bleeding, frontal lobe damage,
(01:08:36):
skull fracture. She is seen inthe video when the one teen saves her.
She's on the ground still and she'scontorted, and she starts convulsing and
twitching, and it looks she's nevergoing to be the same if she survives.
If the family has already started,they've started to go fund me,
(01:09:01):
they have actually a modest forty thousanddollars goal. Her hospital will probably exceeds
that already because they said that apparentlythey've been told that even if she does
survive, she's going to require helpfor the rest of her life. Andrew
Bailey, the Attorney General Missouri,called out the fifteen year old girl.
(01:09:23):
He wanted her to be tried asan adult. He said, quote This
evil and complete disregard for human lifehas no place in Missouri or anywhere.
I am praying for the victim.He says the criminal should be charged and
tried it as an adult, andif the victim dies, that offense should
rise to a homicide. I thinkit should even be more than just a
homicide charge. I think it's apremeditated murder because this girl, which I
(01:09:45):
know that when you file these chargesand when you're a prosecutor, you want
to go for the one that you'resure you're going to get a conviction on.
I think murder will be a toughto convince a jury of a fifteen
year old because they're going to thisagain the indulgence. Criminals thrive on this
indulgence. But she's fifteen, andyou got to be realistic. That's gonna
sway. Whatever jeury makeup is there. So homicides probably, although I think
(01:10:09):
it should be murdered if this girldied, I think the reason I say
it's premeditated because she was apparently,according to the family that called the school
to warn them, this girl wasthreatening to get at this girl all day.
She was planning on it. Aspremeditation. In my opinion. The
Keltech Sub two K it reads asub two thousand. I've literally had people
(01:10:30):
say, well, I type subtwo K and I will sub two thousands.
This is the Gen three version ninemilimeter carbine, and it's gonna origami.
Now. Previously I have the olderversion, so I have to take
my optic off to fold it inhalf. But the thing folds in half,
and it's cool. Gen three youdon't have to remove your favorite optic
to fold it in half. Imean, it's a simple twist and fold
(01:10:50):
of the patent pending rotating foe endin either direction. It folds it straight
up in half and just as quicklyand easily deploys it optics and all.
And there's other upgrades that they haveas well. The upgraded aluminum trigger,
redesigned mechanics, lightened five pound pull, more precise feedback, the upgraded action

Dana sent you. It's his lifemission to make bad decisions. It's time
(01:11:41):
for Florida man, guys, Iisn't this a happy Gilmour plot? Okay?
A massive alligator attacked to Florida manfishing in a golf course pond.
Quote took his hand off. Aman is in the hospital following a gator
(01:12:02):
attack that happened Sunday afternoon, Lesburg, Florida. The Florida Fishing Wildlife Conservation
Commission estimates the gat's length to beapproximately nine feet. The man was fishing
in a pond Penbrook Fairways when thegator attacked, ing, biting off his
hand. The uh A witness spoketo Fox Chinel thirty five saw the whole
(01:12:23):
thing play out in his backyard.He said, quote, while the guy
was on the ground, the gatergot the guy in the hand and the
two rolled. The wife called nineone one. Lake County Fire Rescue released
the calls, and it sounds liketotal chaos. People stopped in their golf
carts. Someone screamed, hand hasgone. Hand is gone. He was
reeling in a fish. I meanthere's literally a sign that says beware of
(01:12:45):
the alligator. Even if there isn'ta sign, just be aware that in
Florida, even if it's a puddleof the size of a shoe print,
there's a gator in it. Doyou know when we were at the last
time, I was in Florida,like in Florida, not just passing through
(01:13:06):
leaving the airport, and it wason a tram going to baggage claim or
whatever. And I never check abag, so I was just going to
get a vehicle. And there's likea little swampy park area that all the
trams go over. I saw twogators hands the sky. I hadn't even
been in the state for ten minutesand I saw two gators. They were
they looked large esque by my scientificestimation, just saying so that's all right.
(01:13:31):
Also, another dude got bit upby a croc because I know was
it a gator or croc? Hisboat capsized in the Everglades National Park.
I'm gonna come back to this tomorrowbecause we have our third hour that's rushing
up on us. But this one. If your boat capsizes in a park
and there's water in Florida, nicelife you lived. Stay with us.
(01:13:53):
First of all, this is nota ban on TikTok. I'm a grandmother
of teenagers. I understand the entertainment, the educational value, communication value,
the business value for some business onthis. This is not an attempt to
ban TikTok. It's an attempt tomake TikTok better. Tic Tac toe a
winner, a winner, bless herheart, Tik Tac toe a winner winter
(01:14:24):
winter chicken dinner. Oh boy,yeah, so I am no sorry,
It's not about making it is itabout making it better? Is it?
I don't I get weird when Idisagree with Democrats on anything. It makes
me immediately think that what Democrats?That's what I said, right? Do
(01:14:48):
I say? Oh No, WheneverI agree with them, I'm freaking out.
It's like, wow, you likethis, and I like, I
may like this. I'm skeptical.I am. I'm always a skeptic.
I am diogenous reborn, the originalcynic skeptic. All right, so welcome
(01:15:13):
back to the show, Dana,last here with you, top of this
third hour. It's Wednesday. Alwaysgood to be with you. Of course,
I'm letting you know just what wewere watching all this TikTok stuff that's
happening. It's got to go throughthe Senate. Here's here's what I keep
coming back to on this bill.And I actually think you might not think
that this bill is important. Maybeyou're not. I'm not on TikTok because
(01:15:34):
I just can't. I'm allergic tolike I'm annoying about this. Let me
just set it up. I neededI'm gonna bring the tugboat in, so
bear with me. I needed toget a I like to bake, right,
and I needed to get a whitelike marble pastry board because I have
black countertops, right, and wehave full sun in our kitchen. My
(01:15:57):
countertops are always weirdly warm, doesn'tmatter what time of data is. They're
just warm. They hold all theheat. And it's like the opposite of
like a travertine, right, likea travertine's always cool. My countertops are
always warm. And I like tobake. And it was a real problem
whenever I was doing and I noticedthis especially over lockdown, whenever I was
doing my pie crust and everything else. It didn't matter if I had my
(01:16:19):
butter in the freezer. It didn'tmatter if I put my rolling pin in
there. It just was so fast. I couldn't work fast enough, and
my pie crusts were just sucking.So I was reading all these cooking website,
baking websites and all this. SoI was like, I'm gonna get
like just large enough for a piecrust that if I want to, I
can even put it in the freezerfor a minute of time. It's marble,
(01:16:40):
so you can't. You know,you gotta be careful, but you
know, just to have something coolerthat I can use to make my crust
and keep it in the shade.And I looked everywhere because whether it was
at Williams Sonoma or Sirla Tableau oreven like restaurant wholesalers, everything was made
in China. Everything I found wasmade in China, made in China,
(01:17:01):
made in China, made in China. I looked for like two months,
almost three months, trying to finda good pastry board, and I finally
found one that was made in Taiwan. And the marble was so oh yeah.
I look where the source where themarble source from. It was like
source from South Asia. Not itwasn't. Uh, it was maybe a
(01:17:21):
little China adjacent, but it wasn'tChinese per se, but it was made
in Taiwan. So I got thatone and I've been happy with it right
and ever since then. I unlessI can absolutely avoid it because we have
to be honest, there's so muchthat comes in from China. I if
it's made in China, I don'tneed it, Like I have a role
(01:17:43):
that if I can't pay cash forit, I don't buy it, like
I don't like to have debt.I am nuts and if I can't get
it not being made in China,then I don't need it. So I'm
really I try. I know it'sdifficult with things like antibiotics and stuff like
that because that's where their source from. So going back to this, I
(01:18:06):
I'm not on TikTok for that reason. I don't like doing Zoom for that
reason. I mean I will.I have told people who wanted to have
meetings about this or that, whetherthey're in New York or DC, can
you hop on a Zoom And I'mlike, no, I can't. Sorry,
I will literally not meet with you. If that's what you require,
I don't care. I won't doit. As Kan can attest because he's
been privy to a lot of thoseso with this app this is even weirder
(01:18:31):
because byte Dance owns them, andI like Senator Ran Paul, He's like
one of my favorite people. Idid correct him a little bit last hour
because he was saying that, youknow, sixty something percent of byte Dance
is actually owned by other people.But then in twenty twenty one, we
forget that the CCP by Dance,they bought the golden share so they can
outvote all the other shareholders. Theycontrol all of it. That was in
(01:18:53):
twenty twenty one that that happened,the golden share they purchased at CCP.
I do not want to run therisk, and I'm seeing this happen everywhere
of being tempted to use to havemy patriotism expertly used against me by a
(01:19:17):
foreign adversary. And that's what Ihear happening. Those who are saying,
well, it's not really owned byit is though, those who say,
well, the government shouldn't be ableto tell you what. I agree,
But that's not what this is.I don't believe that illicit behavior or espionage
(01:19:43):
is a free speech issue, andI'm a free speech purist. I don't
believe that harvesting your private data andsending it to Beijing is a First Amendment
protection that falls under that. Butat the same time, I can't say
that I am entirely comfortable with theidea of the government demanding any companies divest
(01:20:09):
or sell this as a results asa in order to continue doing business in
the US or being available on appstores in the US. Even though I
understand all of this nuance, itis so ingrained in my DNA, I
have such an issue with it.Where do you stand on this, Kane?
Where are you at on this?The TikTok thing, That's what we
(01:20:31):
were talking about just now, Well, I know I'm just I'm looking ahead.
But so yeah, the TikTok thing. For me, I've never used
it. I know my youngest usesit. But are you uncomfortable with like
with like byte dance or them tellingby dance they have to divest in order
to continue doing business here. It'ssuspicious to me because I think the government
(01:20:51):
control is what will always be thethread that continues through all of this,
no matter how it evolves, governmentcontrol will always be. And how are
they going to, like you hadbrought this up last hour, how are
they going to afford a two hundredand forty billion dollar company. Who's going
to buy that company? Yeah,only governments can do that, could collectively
(01:21:14):
do that? Musk or somebody,Well, he's you know, he's even
limited at two hundred and forty billion, he's pretty limited too. I don't
know. It's to me, it'sa dangerous thing for government to get involved.
The fact that the left is happyabout this makes me suspiciously say,
it's all the left. No,it is. I mean you have people
like but all the suspicious players onthe left. Yeah, oh, I
(01:21:36):
agree, I agree. I AndI know you had brought up like,
what doesn't this open an attack onElon Musk? I don't think it does,
because Elon Musk is not considered oneof the four foreign adversaries. No,
that's defined, that is defined tothat is defined. I did look,
and so what I'm thinking is thisis just a step towards way.
How would they expand on this,say, for example, they find some
(01:22:00):
way to justify saying that Elon Musk'soperation of X is causing something in the
realm of national security, and somehowthey manufacture something that allows the at least
the narrative in the public to atleast seem that X has gone through those
four hoops that they talked about inthis legislation, and now they can target
whoever they want. They just haveto manufacture enough information that fills those hoops
(01:22:27):
so that they can go after whoeverthey want. Because he's not China or
Iran, or North Korea or Russia. I think that that kind of frees
him from it. I will saythat it is specific there because when I
talked to Brennan carn I was like, Okay, define foreign adversary. He's
like, well, it is definedin that. Does he have any business
interest in China? He does?Oh, he totally does. Absolutely.
Yeah. So that's the other thing, and we talked about that yesterday.
He totally does. He totally does. So he needs that Chinese market for
(01:22:48):
TESLA. I envision the government findinga way to use that information. But
he's not domicile there. No,But that again, what does that matter
when the government has a campaign againstyou, The truth doesn't matter. Oh,
I know, I agree, itis. This is a sticky,
wicked it is. This is whereI don't know where I land yet.
(01:23:13):
I agree that there is some vagaryin the legislation. From what I've read,
I had a couple questions. Ido agree that I don't in the
bill. I don't think that itestablishes well, you know, if you're
adjacent to one of these four foreignadversaries, because it does list four and
it is defined a federal statue doesdefine it. However, I'm very wary
(01:23:42):
because of how we saw the PatriotActive used. They literally used remember the
Patriot Act. This was after nineto eleven, and I remember Republicans were
saying. I got yelled at againby Republicans because I was like, why
do we need all of this?Why isn't this go back to Ben Franklin's
quote. If you think that youcan give up some liberty for safety,
you deserve neither. There were peoplewho you're just so oh Danna, you're
(01:24:08):
so dumb, you don't know.I was in my I guess what twenties
when all this happened. You're justso dumb data you don't know, Like,
well, I think I do.I feel like this is a little
bit egregious here, just a littlebit of an overreach. And now look
what happened. It was abused andmanipulated and extended to include parents who spoke
(01:24:29):
up at school board meetings. It'snot an exaggeration. The reason that the
FBI was able and other law enforcementagencies were able to look at parents in
that way is because every single reportwas arbitrarily classified as a domestic security issue.
Therefore it amounted to essentially domestic terrorism. That classification was added later in
(01:24:51):
their system, as was revealed talkingto a House subcommittee when they were testifying
on all of this. That wasmade possible because the Patriot Act reduced those
boundaries between these agencies to prevent certainbits of the law from being applied to
everyday average citizen simply over political dissent. So that is an actual, real
(01:25:16):
concern, and I think that someRepublicans can't get mad at other Republicans,
or other Conservatives, or even otherLibertarians for that matter. You have to
understand these are people who have seenall of these abuses for the past decade
plus. I remember in Missouri,TEA partiers were listed as potential domestic terrorists
(01:25:40):
by the Missouri Highway Patrol under Governorj Nixon. It was the MIAC report
which I had broke the news onand reported about exclusively, still up online
on my website because flying the gadsand flag, et cetera. So the
idea that anything that the government establisheslike this, the potential of it to
(01:26:00):
be abused and or weaponized and extendedto apply to other individuals over political dissent
is not only a very real possibility, it's not even a possibility. It's
history. It has happened. Ithas happened. It happened in twenty ten,
twenty eleven, twenty twelve, andmost recently with parents at school board
meetings with the FBI. So Iknow we're there because they see a lot
(01:26:25):
of infighting. Republicans can't get madat these other Republicans for simply being worried
about history repeating itself again, thatbeing said, do not allow your patriotism
to be weaponized against your concern fornational security, because China would love to
be able to tap into your patrioticsentiment to protect its ass and that's what
(01:26:45):
they're doing. Also, So it'sa weird catch twenty two area here and
now all of the news you wouldprobably miss. It's time for Dana's quick
five. They have a chief heatof in Arizona. Do you guys knew
that I didn't know that. It'sa new chief heat officer in Arizona.
(01:27:06):
They got a new one right aheadof heat season. They're a new call
it summer. It's just heat season. They actually have one. Arizona Department
of Health and Services announced their firststatewide chief Heat officer. Wow, because
they had five hundred and seventy ninepeop last year alone fatalities related to heat
(01:27:28):
heat related causes. That's crazy.We should probably should we have one in
Texas. I don't want one.I'll know you'd be your own chief heat
officer. We don't need to spendmore tax dollars on it. Florida homeowners
are trying to offload their damaged properties, according to some reports. By the
way, you know why some ofthe insurances hire in Florida because it's a
they get hurricanes. It's like why, Oh my gosh, it's called statistics.
(01:27:53):
Florida has more damaged properties that forsale than any other state in the
country, according to publicly available dataon Zillo are trying to offload homes whose
repairs actually would cost greatly and theythink would maybe exceed the value of the
home even but they said that asof Thursday morning, of last week,
(01:28:13):
they were total of two hundred andtwo thousand, five hundred and forty five
properties listed on Zillo. Nine hundredand sixty three were described as having some
damage. And it's much higher inFlorida than it is like California, which
doesn't get hurricanes. New York alsodoesn't really get hurricanes. In Texas,
which also really unless you're right therein the Gulf, doesn't get hurricanes.
They said that. I mean,it's like by a lot in New York
(01:28:34):
had twenty damaged properties up for saleTexas at ninety five, but they just
say they have to disclose. Yeah, it's been in a hurricane, et
cetera. But why is that likea surprising thing. I don't get it.
A housekeeper at a fancy midtown Atlantahotel found two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars at cocaine in the closet.Okay, housekeeper downtown hotel discovered a quarter
(01:28:57):
of a million dollars worth of cocaine. It was that it was the Georgian
and Terrace Hotel in Midtown, andthe housekeeper was cleaning a guest room and
found a duffel bag with nine bricksof cocaine in it. There you go.
And the what is this? It'sa soup that's almost two thousand dollars
the Drake Oakbrook, which is soundslike a pretentious restaurant, and you're right
(01:29:20):
it is. It is made withLouis the thirteenth Kangnak and it's a recipe
that dates back to eighteen ninety three. And the bowl of soup that's made
with us cross eight and ninety threedollars. Yeah, stay with us.
We got a lot more in storeafter this. Craving a daily dose of
(01:29:41):
intellectual adrenaline, look no further thanthe Dana Show podcast where curiosity meets courage
by following on Apple, Spotify,or wherever you get your podcasts. We
just had one of your Democratic colleagues, Congressman Moscowitz, on the show last
night. He suggested that, forexample, when it comes to the Israel
Hamas War, that China is usingTikTok's algorithms to ramp up divisions in this
(01:30:08):
country. And that's one of theconcerns that he has in terms of national
security. Do you think there's anyvalidity to that? What I do think
that people are finding discomfort is thefact that for the first time in our
nation's history, Americans have access toreal images of the whores that are experienced
(01:30:31):
by Palestinians daily and the onslaught thatis taking place. This horrific assault on
Gaza really is being streamed to everysingle person here in this country, so
we no longer have to rely onlegacy media to get that information. Every
(01:30:53):
single person has the information the mouseforever. This is Eleano mar on In
say. No, we've had,like you know, by the way,
we've had that from Hamas's media sincethe beginning of this, since they started
all of this in the first place, back in five six. Welcome back
to the program. Bottom of thisthird hour, Dana lash with you Hamasa's
casualty data. They've been falsifying it. There was a statistician at Wharton that
(01:31:17):
looked at it at not just onebit, like several since then, and
they've looked and they've discovered that thecasualty data that Hamas has been submitting is
actually not accurate. They said,they quote don't know how to avoid making
anomalies obvious to Western analysts end quotethat it's it's at which we know they've
(01:31:38):
been fabricating they've been releasing daily fakenumbers and it they said they don't have
an understanding of the behavior of naturallyoccurring numbers. They said that quote,
perhaps what is happening is the GazaMinistry is releasing fake daily numbers that very
too little because they don't have aclear understanding of this naturally occurring number.
(01:31:58):
They said, verified control data isn'tavailable. And they also added that the
absence of correlation between, for instance, the deaths of women and children is
very odd. They said the splitis different every day, but the total
always the same. And there's justall of these other little things that stick
(01:32:18):
out. I mean, they've theyhave a huge there's been I mean not
just New York Times and elsewhere lookingat the fabrication of their casualty numbers.
They can't be trusted. So Pallywoodhas always, i mean since the the
since all of this began, Pallywoodhas always they've been doing this. They've
been putting out fake images, photoshopimages. I mean, there's there's the
(01:32:42):
infamous video of a guy who hasbeen in I don't know how many different
videos. He's been killed six waysto Sunday uh and and all of the
videos that they have. I mean, they've been busted. This isn't hidden
knowledge. I mean it's out therepublic on the Internet for everybody to see.
So her idea, we don't haveto rely on legacy met about the
Gaza about the Gaza attack, you'reright. We didn't have to rely on
(01:33:03):
legacy media because Hamas took the reporterswith them when they committed their atrocities against
innosn Israelis. You're right, illinOmar. We didn't have to really rely
on legacy press because they used bodycameras when they were raping the women and
putting grenades in their vaginas and cuttingtheir breasts off, and putting babies in
ovens and shooting family pets. Youknow why we have all of that video
(01:33:23):
because they carried it on their personand then they released it publicly. So
you're right, they didn't have torely on legacy media to show the world
the animalistic torture that they were subjectinginnocent people to because they probably showcased it
themselves. You know, the friendsthat you have in Hamas that you're defending,
Yeah, they showed it themselves.So you don't have to rely on
(01:33:46):
legacy media for that just asinine,absolutely asinine. So they and you,
of course, you have members ofthe Squad who have been trying to push
the administration further and further. They'reresponsible for this stupid peer thing that they're
doing in Gaza. I wanted toswitch it up and now bring it to
this from the hill. Punk isdead. So south By Southwest has been
(01:34:13):
going on. South By Southwest Ithink used to be cool and then it
got over commercialized and over glorified andself important and sucky. Well this is
coming out of the hill. Bandsare pulling out of south By Southwest over
US Army sponsorship and the Gaza war. You mean Israel defending itself against the
terrorists that were elected to operate Gaza. Okay, so they said, multiple
(01:34:40):
bands and musicians scheduled to perform atsouth By Southwest are pulling out because of
the US Army's sponsorship and America's supportof Israel's right to defend itself. I'm
not going to say Israel's war onHamas because this is Israel didn't declare war
on Hamas. Israel is defending itselfagainst Thomas, who still has Israeli hostages,
including babies and I'll so has Americanhostages. So there's a group from
(01:35:02):
Belfast it's called they're called Kneecap.Nobody's ever heard of them, and nobody
cares. It's they're the ones whosaid that it was depraved. Okay,
then GTFO, don't let the customsdoor hit you in the ass on your
way back to the land of thegrain. Bye. They go, we
can't in good conscience attend an artfestival. That's blah blah blah. Okay,
(01:35:23):
then get out? Who are you? Nobody gives, nobody cares,
Get out. Eh. They hada bunch of other crappy bands that pulled
out of the event to protest.Nobody cares. Nobody cares, that's it.
Uh. And they had a Britishgroup, probably two chicks who can't
(01:35:43):
play instruments. They said they hadto pull out of south By Southwest because
they didn't want to become totally inauthenticand their claims of solidarity with a non
existent entity that's governed by hamas.Okay, Bye. I just think that's
when people wave the white when peoplewave the flag of stupidity, just let
them. They're identifying themselves to youas limited and brain cells. But what
(01:36:06):
I find interesting if I could justyou know, pick a bone here.
Who's heading up the delivery of humanitarianaid to the Gaza area, Kane,
who's that up? Yeah? Ourmilitary? Yeah, the army. Yeah.
Yeah. The people that they're protestingright now, did did these did
(01:36:27):
any of the people in the brainTrust stop to check that out? I'm
protesting against the army that's leading upthe aid effort brain Trust. Yeah.
I just meant that facetiously because wethink they are morons. So they uh,
that's they're actually spearheading it. They'rethe they're the our military and our
the US Army. They're they're helpingto construct the seaport and deliver of humanitarian
(01:36:53):
aid. But it was the USArmy apparently that's spearheading it via the Hill
hmmm. And the army says thatit's quote probably be a sponsor of south
By Southwest. Now I get it. People are like, why we are
tax dollars support the army? Whyis the army doing this? Because they
probably have it allocated within their budgetto advertise for recruitment. Did you think
(01:37:15):
of that? That's probably what itis. They got to you know,
what, what are you shaking yourhead for it's obvious. Yeah, you
know what I mean, some peoplejust smart people. How do you not
get it? You know, Iwould rather than do that way than have
a draft. But I get it, and I don't necessarily think that that's
a bad thing if we're if it'sabout defense, and if we're making the
(01:37:38):
means of defense, I actually don't. I'm not opposed to that. I
feel like that's actually not a wastefuluse of dollars. Like you know,
sending three hundred million to Ukraine,that's a wasteful use of dollars. Sending
more aid to an area run bya terrorist group that was popularly elected and
is still popular and takes all theaid for itself, that's a stupid use
(01:37:59):
of money. But this isn't anythingnew. Whether if there were. They're
either canceling Cherry Curry, who isgoing to be on with this Friday,
correct, she's gonna be on withus the runaways. They were canceling her
for the trans stuff. And nowyou have these grids. We're med because
the Army's sponsoring it or because Imean it's just dumb, nobody cares.
Nobody's gonna remember because people will gosee the live music the way they used
(01:38:21):
to do they at now it's southBy Southwest. It's about being seen.
It's about being seen and being ableto say that you were there and taking
pictures of yourself there. That's whatit's about. I don't like festivals anymore.
The last big festival, well,the last big actual festival festival that
I went to was Memphis in Maybecause I wanted to see that's when,
(01:38:43):
uh, it was right, thatwas actually Susan Tedesky performed. I saw
run DMC right after Susan Tedesky allmy brother's band Trucks. This is this
predate, this is right before TedeskyTrucks formed. Uh, and then run
DMC came on right after and inthe food Fighters it was amazing, like
all literally like that's one line up. That's one lineup, right. But
(01:39:05):
I just don't have a tolerance fora lot of people because you know,
a lot of people heat and liquor. It gets you know. I just
don't like that scene. I preferto be quiet and lyric in the shadow.
So but I like good music andI and I really I'm like I
wouldn't be able to go see thatit was. It was an amazing show.
(01:39:26):
But but south By Southwest? Doesanybody go there anymore? Aside from
want to be influencers and bands thatI get, programming and musicianship are different
things, and people who can't playmusic anymore, and autot and everything.
I don't know. I'm Kane andI are just cruel when it comes to
(01:39:46):
music. We're jaded, We're downjaded and downright cruel. I I mean,
you think Simon Cowell's mean, please, he's a cupcake. He is.
So just say, if you wantus to your stuff and be totally
on it, if you want usto totally destroy you, just send us
your stuff. Senason, because heworked as a music DJ, I can
(01:40:09):
actually play instruments, will kill you. So just you know, just send
it. If you want to behumbled or you want to have your day
ruined because you're a massachist. Idon't know, just like, send it,
send it over, I don't know. Yeah, well, free of
charge, free of charge. Soa few of the uh, that's I
don't mean to be mean, butyes I do. So in twenty twenty
four, just throw this out herereal quick. Axios has the story Democrats
(01:40:32):
Big vulnerability. They're hemorrhaging minority voters. Again, though, what this shows
I looked at this that all thesesurveys that they're citing, this is what
Republicans need to be aware of.Yes, Democrats are losing these people.
That doesn't mean they're automatically it's anauto migration to the GP though, they're
(01:40:53):
kind of floating in the independent area, meaning they're up for grabs. But
don't get comfortable and think that youdon't have to actually evaluate this and determine
what this means in terms of shapingpolicy and messaging. And I hope Republicans
don't forget that, because I feellike everyone's just assuming that these voters are
just going right over to the GEI. They're not. They just they can't
(01:41:14):
stand Biden and they think he's bad, which he is. I watched an
interview with a couple. It's ablack couple, and they both voted for
Barack Obama in eight they voted forhim again and twelve and then they uh,
the one guy voted the husband votedfor Trump, and the wife voter
for Hillary. Uh. And thenthe husband voted for Trump and the wife
(01:41:38):
voted for Biden. And now they'reboth voting for Trump. And she was
saying, I can't economically, Ican't do this. I can't live my
life like this. And she says, I want to have children, and
I want to have a family,and these policies are not conducive to that.
They're the economy that they've created isn'tconducive to that. She's exactly right.
(01:42:00):
It's the economy stupid every time,every time, every time, every
time Republicans need to knock get toocomfortable, and they need to remember thus
follow data on Apple, Spotify orwherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge
is your ultimate superpower. This inflationis down two thirds and we have the
lowest annual core inflation since May twentyone. Prices fell over the last year
(01:42:25):
for gas, milk, eggs,chicken, appliances, and also use cars.
Wages are rising faster than prices overthe last year since the pandemic,
and forecasts broadly expect progress on inflationto continue over the rest of the year.
This is a nice fair tales she'sreading, super nice, nice little
story. Yeah, wages are doyou know Dollar trained family Dollar closing a
(01:42:47):
thousand stores because then wages are goingup though, except they're not have you
get to have the invisible tax ofyour dollar not going far enough because the
government I won't stop spending money.Welcome back, Dan, I last share
with you the conclusion of this thirdhour. Yeah, they're closing a thousand
different it's not even really a dollaranymore at the dollar tree. I mean
(01:43:12):
they say a dollar. It's notreally so. But they have a lot
of leasas expiring. They said thatthey're they well, because everything's getting expensive.
They've been they've been dealing with allkinds of issues and theft and theft
and like with the Taco bell andyou know California having to close a bunch
of stuff in Oakland and elsewhere.This is a result and cut twenty two's
(01:43:36):
like lays this out perfectly if youwant to play this. But people think
inflation, Oh what's it at threesomething? Yeah? Do this is Gary
Cohen was this about inflation. Inflationhas a compounding effect, meaning as you
look at inflation year over year,you're adding up those numbers. You're not
starting at a zero every year.So if we had six percent inflation last
(01:43:58):
year, seven percent inflation, andnow we have four percent inflation, that's
ten percent inflation. So if youtake a basket of groceries at the beginning
of twenty twenty, just the simplebasic basket that cost one hundred dollars,
it costs well over one hundred andtwenty five dollars today because those four percent
one year and seven percent one yearand seven percent the next year, they
add up their cumulative so it's ahuge cumulative effect inflation. So when people
(01:44:20):
are being told consumers, you're wronginflations, no they're right, they're completed
rightly. Yeah, there you go. Well we all yeah, we all
know it. You know, youknow what you willoled people. Yeah,
don't be fooled, don't take thebait. Don't be fooled. So make
sure you go sign up for Substack, Chapter and Verse my newsletter. I
have a lot of stuff that goesout there. I got a couple of
(01:44:42):
things coming out today and you canalso find us over at YouTube some of
our past interviews. We'll get thatup on substack as well and sent out
to the subscribers, especially the onewith Brendan Carr, because I think it
was a very it was a veryinteresting discussion. But we're going to see
with what happens in the Senate withthe TikTok bill. But they said that
(01:45:03):
that gen Z was like, you'regoing to lose our votes, and I'm
like, you don't vote anyway,so and what are you going to do
about it? But anyway, allright, today's stupidity came. All right,
it is our I guess what wecall her, the Treasury secretary,
right, Janet Ellen? Janet fromthe planet Janet Yellen, Planet Janet.
(01:45:26):
She is, I know, that'sthat's gotta rock. It's got to be
our new one, okay for herhere she is talking about remember three years
ago when she said, you know, inflation is transitory. Don't worry about
inflation. Don't worry about inflation.It's transitory. Listen to what she says
to this twenty twenty one, though, you did say that inflation was transitory.
Do you regret saying that? Now? I regret saying it was transitory.
(01:45:48):
It has come down. But Ithink transitory means a few weeks from
months to most most people. Thepeople lying to you the most about inflation
is the government. That's right,Those are the people lying to you the
most on inflation. She just said, there, inflation's going down. And
we just heard the clip of thateconomist say inflation actually gets added year after
(01:46:10):
year. We don't start at zeroevery year. Inflation's not going down.
It's not going down, folks.That does it for us tonight, make
sure you find us substack, Chapterand Verse, Facebook, YouTube, like
