(00:13):
Which is kind of bizarre to seethat actually take place on the House floor.
The people had the flags and theywere waving them and that was when
one of the uh that was thatwas the Ukraine funding pass It that the
Ukraine Funding bill that went through,and we're going to talk about all of
that because that was I mean itit went, it went to the Senate

(00:34):
and it was going to be approvedin the Senate. I mean, it
was pretty much a done deal atthat point. So, uh, that's
billions another billions of dollars. We'regoing to discuss all of it. Welcome
to the show. Top of thefirst hour this Monday, Dana lash with
you and uh, the latest withall of the House the passage of these

(00:55):
bills. We also have the ongoingurban outfitters infantatic protest that have been taking
place at Columbia and Yale and elsewhere. And then of course we have this
bizarre, stupid debate that's been takingplace on the right. This is just
some of the stuff that we're gonnahit this first hour. But yeah,
top top story is this package thatwent through, a ninety six billion dollar

(01:18):
aid package that included sixty one billiondollars in aid, military and economic aid
to Ukraine alone, and that wentthrough by a whopping three hundred and eleven
to one hundred and twelve margin,went to the Senate and it's a done
deal. And so this uh,these billions more. I'm just curious as

(01:42):
to what it's going to go forbecause if you remember, it was last
year that the Deputy Prime Minister ofUkraine, along with the Foreign Ministry,
they were saying that if well,if the if the EU in the United
States, if they do not honorthere, if they don't honor their commitments

(02:04):
to aid, then we're not goingto be able to pay our pensions and
we're not going to be able topay any of this stuff. And that's
one of the things that I mean, that was an actual which kind of
shocked me because I thought, well, how is paying pensions, How are
paying pensions and all of that goingto stop Russians from invading? It doesn't
make any sense. So welcome againto the program. You can listen across

(02:24):
the country terrestrially. You can alsostream the program. You can watch the
simulcast of the radio program on Channelthree forty seven Direct TV. You can
find us on x everywhere but thatI mean, that's kind of that's the
big thing that a lot of peoplelike myself and I think a lot of
you out there have asked, becausewhen this came out, I just want

(02:45):
to in total, I think,just ourselves alone, excluding the European Union
in NATO, I think we're lookingat upwards of nearly eighty billion dollars already.
And as I said, the DeputyPrime Minister Julia Sardenko had said that
quote, yeah, they're gonna haveto postpone pay for their public service and
pension payments to millions of its citizens. At the EU and US failed to

(03:07):
deliver promised financial aid, and thatwas reported actually not even a full year
ago. So I would just think, here's here's one of the criticisms that
we have when we see these stories, because you know, I read stories
about, for instance, one oftheir ministers buying a big, fancy car
or something to that extent, andI read and pulled the story up.

(03:30):
How apparently there was like this,There was there was a story. There's
a story about some housing purchases withsome of these other ministers. The one
with Zelensky purchasing property in London wasfalse. However, that is irrelevant to
the fact that literally the Deputy Primeminister was talking about benefits and pensions.

(03:52):
Maybe Ukraine should pull its purse stringsa little tighter and stop some of this
non austerity spending so that they canhelp finance their own conflict, because it's
not the United States's responsibility to payfor people's pensions or to pay for benefits.
And the fact that their deputy Primeminister in Ukraine is literally on record
saying that is in asinine. That'sinsane. That's one of ukraine struggles.

(04:15):
Because of Ukraine, their people getin their own way. Their elected officials,
their government officials get in their ownway. The fact that the Deputy
Prime minister, Financial Times and othershave quoted her and she's on record as
saying this, how do you expectpeople who are struggling here, struggling to
pay their bills here, struggling tokeep up with the tax burden here,
struggling to keep up with inflation here, how do you expect them to react

(04:39):
to this? I mean, that'sthe million dollar question. How's paying for
these pensions help help Ukraine? Maybemaybe you don't pay benefits, Maybe some
of these people don't get their pensionspaid. That's one of the consequences of
war. You don't get all yourbenefits still paid when you're in a time
of conflict, and you don't getit paid off the backs of everybody else's
hard working citizens. I'm so tiredof this. Lindsey Graham made the argument

(05:03):
over the weekend, well, Putin'snot going to stop if he's allowed to
take over Ukraine. I feel likethis is like back and during Vietnam.
One of the theories that was pushedand I remember studying this school by LBJ
and by a lot of you know, war inc which is this like domino
effect of well you have this communistentity here, so that's going to effect

(05:27):
and all these other entities are goingto turn communists and they're all going to
bout it that. It's like thesame theory that's being implemented here with regards
to the Russia the Ukraine role.Now I don't say this, and I
get aggravated because the argument on theright always dissolves down into you either believe

(05:47):
full out in waging in backing Ukraineand waging war against Russia, or you're
a Putin stooge, or you're apro putin or you're a Russian apologist or
something to that effect. And theentire context of that argue is such a
lie because it's a foreign land disputethat doesn't involve the United States at all.
It doesn't evolve the United States interests. And the only people who keep

(06:09):
talking about Russia taking over and tryingto completely take over Ukraine are people like
Lindsay Graham. I mean in thispoint and I and I want to be
careful here. I don't want totrust commedies. I don't I don't trust
Russia more than my own government.And I have a problem already trust in

(06:30):
my government. But the idea thatthey even have the ability to enact some
sort of I think outdated Russian imperialistfantasy. That's just a that's just a
a dream of of of war,inc That's all that is. But this
is what they've continually pushed, andthey were very happy that this aid package

(06:51):
passed. There's a lot of peopleRepublicans are very upset with Mike Johnson,
who's apparently supposed to be at theborder today. Now there was not a
single I'm gonna pull this up becauseI've got a lot of quotes in here
from border patrol agents. There wasnot a single bit anything in here for
the actual border, you know,our border. We're we're looking at Ukraine's

(07:11):
border, but we're not actually lookingat anything here with regards to our own
border. A border patrol was onrecord as being very critical of all of
this. They were disappointed that nothinglike that was included in this plan and
passed over the weekend, and alot of people were very and I think
justifiably critical of Mike Johnson. Thisin this you, by the way,

(07:35):
in title three of this Ukraine Aidbill, let me pull this up,
and there's some very interesting stuff that'sin here. In this is sub section
three of this bill. It getsinto four hundred and eighty one million dollars
for refugee and entrant assistance. It'sthe Administration for Children and Families. They

(07:56):
are working with third party contractors.If you want to talk about border spending,
well this is in here. Isn'tthat interesting? The amounts made available
under this act can be used withgrants for these these third party government contractors.
It's they work with the Director ofOffice of Refugee Resettlement. So it's

(08:16):
borders. It's it's technically it's forthe border, but it's for spending for
children and families and entrant assistants.Oh yes, oh yes. And as
for title in this, this isa title none of this Ukraine Aid Bill,
sorry title for this Ukraine Aid Billfunds appropriated to the President for transition

(08:37):
initiatives. That's twenty five million fortransition initiatives, thirty nine million for USAID
operating expenses, and then you've gotseven point nine billion for Economic Support fund,
one point six billion assistance to EuropeEurasi Central Asia. There's a lot
of stuff that's in this bill thatthat's insane. That's been passed. And
the Ukraine Aid Bill also increased theamount of military harry training that for US

(09:01):
government agency inventories that Biden can drawdown and provide to other countries, going
anywhere from two to four hundred milliondollars. There's a lot of not good
stuff in here. And this all, this all has been kicked over,
doubles the limit of what Biden candraw down for that expands direct loans made

(09:22):
under section twenty three. This ison page twenty eight of the Arms Export
Control Act gets into Oh and bythe way, not until this is I
want to this is page thirty three. There aren't any limitations until all the
way to page thirty three about Congressasking Biden the administration, well, what

(09:46):
is the actual objective in Ukraine.We're going to predicate some further funding up
on that. I mean, we'regoing to dive deeper into this later on
in the program. But that's justsome of the stuff. That's just some
of the stuff we're looking at now. The other thing we have the what
to call it, Abercrombie and BitchInfantata, the urban outfitter infantata. I

(10:09):
saw urban outfitter Infantada. I'm totallystealing it. But Abercrombie and Bitch Infantata,
I think makes that makes perfect sense. I really think in watching these
protesters at Colombia and Yale, theirscarves are the new tiki torches. They're
little scarves that they're wearing. Jan'sgetting this video. This is some of
the protests at Columbia, and yougot this guy who literally looks like he

(10:33):
should be I mean, he lookslike such a stooge. The the little
chebvy blonde kid in here. He'sgot his tiki torch scarf, on and
there. They're not just this isthey're not just talking about, uh,
freeing Gaza. There's some there's alot of video that I didn't even send

(10:54):
because we can't even play because therewere I mean crowds up, not just
like couple crowds of college kids screamingblank the Jews screaming basically for another Holocaust.
I mean, this went above andbeyond. This wasn't had anything to
do with criticizing Israeli government, andthey really didn't really have anything to do

(11:16):
with talking about freeing Gaza. Thiswas just a bunch of anti Semites who
are coddled and they come from academicaristocracy on these overpriced universities, and this
is the stuff that they're doing,and they have they're pulling the Occupy Wall
Street Chaz Chop playbook by setting upthese tent cities on college campuses, and

(11:39):
it's all incredibly well organized because it'sall on purpose. This is all designed
to help drive up outrage that Democratsare going to substitute for voter enthusiasms since
they lack it for any of theirpolicies going forward. That's all this is.
So we're going to discuss that alsocoming up this stupid World War two
debate that the right is as towhether or not we should have dropped the

(12:01):
atomic bomb into Japan. We're goingto discuss this, and we're going to
give a history lesson for the historicallyilliterate people out there, because hell to
the yes, we should have droppedthe bomb, and anyone who says it
was bad that we did so isa historically illiterate academic halfwit who is simply
repeating stuff that they are seeing onTikTok or Instagram or x And they can

(12:24):
all very earnestly go and do somethingunredacted to themselves, because this is one
of the most appalling lapses of judgment, reason and intelligence that I've ever seen
infect the right. So we're goingto talk about the twenty years preceding Japan's
involvement in World War Two, becauseI am you'res truly a major World War
Two buff and the granddaughter of aWorld War Two sailor who served in the
Pacific and fought the Imperial Japanese.So we're going to discuss the history on

(12:48):
the twenty years preceding Japan's entry intoWorld War Two. We're going to discuss
their raping and pillaging of all theother Asian countries that are around them,
the tariffs and what led to allof that. With regard to Japan and
the United States, a history ofthe last days of Imperial Japan, We're
going to talk about Operation Downfall andcuts you go, and we're also going
to discuss what that would have lookedlike in the context of lives lost and

(13:13):
the attempted coup in Japan post bomb. We're going to get into a whole
bunch of history on this stuff,because I really feel like some people miss
those classes in high school. Today, we're diving into the future of health
with Allumen, the world's first handheldmetabolic coach. So what exactly is lumen.
Lumen measures your metabolism through your breath. You just breathe into Lumen first
thing in the morning, and ittells you if you're burning fat or carbs.

(13:33):
It's like having your own personal nutritionistsin the palm of your hand.
And I really like the idea ofthis thing. So not only does Luman
give you real time insights into yourmetabolism, but it also provides personalized nutrition
plans tailored to your body's needs.For the day. And here's why metabolic
health matters. Your metabolism is yourbody's engine, powering everything from your workouts

(13:54):
to your sleep, and lumen helpsyou optimize it for easier weight management,
improved energy levels, and better overallhealth. But what about metabolic flexibility.
It's crucial. That's your body's abilityto switch between using different fuel sources like
harbs and fat and lumen. Ithelps track and improve your metabolic flex score,
putting you in control of your healthjourney. So if you're ready to

(14:16):
take charge of your health, headover to lumen dot me and use code
Dana show at checkout for one hundreddollars off your very own lumen that's lume
e n dot me e and usecode Dana show for one hundred dollars off.
And remember it's dot me that isLumen dot me. Don't wait,

(14:37):
your health journey starts now. Andnow all of the news you would probably
miss, it's time for Dana's Quickfive. So apparently fifty women have been
attacked randomly in Manhattan just so farthis year alone. According to NYPD,
they said fifty minute women have beenrandomly attacked by strangers. It's the lower
half of Manhattan. The attacks aren'tcopycats, so it's not like people are

(14:58):
you know, they're not similar,and it's weird because the city goes well,
police doesn't. They don't consider itto be a trend. How can
you not consider that to be atrend. They said that some of them
are very high profile because the victimsduh, obviously are posting about it on
social media. No, it's absolutelya trend to attack women in the streets
right now. This has been happeningfor several years in a row now and

(15:22):
it's increasing. It most absolutely isa trend. It's like, if you
want to be serious about policing itand protecting women, then stop lying about
it. Good grief. One ofthe busiest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record,
according to forecasters. They say thatthis uh, it's going to be a
crazy season. They said that thisseason is going to be the worst,

(15:46):
well maybe one of the worst,most destructive and costly. It has the
potential to be one of the busieston records. They said. That's the
consensus of at least four major forecastingservices. All of them say, ooh,
it's the conditions that are in thePacific and in the Atlantic right there
in that tropical hurricane formation zone.They say that it is just right for

(16:07):
storm after storm. In fact,storm harvest was a phrase that was used,
and even the Weather Channel their outlookis pretty similar. So it's going
to be a bumpy season. SoPolitico says. They report that tax breaks
to hire local journalists have been approvedin New York, which they say is
a national first decades long struggle ofgetting local media. Well, it's because

(16:30):
a lot of people are their ownlocal media, and social media has kind
of replaced that as public journalism.You don't need to have tax you don't
need to have tax breaks or publicsubsidy of any of this because and a
lot of people don't trust their localmedia because it's so politicized. I don't
feel sorry for anybody in this becausethey if they weren't so political, they
wouldn't have killed it. But theysaid that it's a tax break. They're

(16:53):
going to designate thirty million dollars ayear called the Local Journalism Sustainability Act.
Maybe, if you actually did,journalism is a fundamental change in the news
ecosystems. As an expert, there'sgonna be a lot of basic stories that
are going to be crowdsourced or aregoing to be written by AI like this,
We have a lot more on theway. Stick with us our partners
who help bring you free radio.The folks over at Celtech, you've heard
me talk for months now about theCeltech Sub two K. Nothing's changed,

(17:15):
it's still brand. They came outwith it earlier this year and it's been
shipping. And so the sub twoK a nine milimeter card line. It
folds in half. It's great whenspace is limited, and it's just a
very innovative. The whole the wayit's designed is incredibly innovative. And I
like the previous iterations and I havethe Gen two. Now the Gen three

(17:37):
that they have you don't have todetach your optics anymore to fold it in
half, which is nice. Thewhole thing that twist and turn rotating for
in it's patent pending. It justyou know, quickly and easily folds it
half. Also can just as quicklyand easily deploy it as well. And
some of the other upgrades that theymade to it include they have the trigger

(18:02):
redesign mechanics. You get a lightenedfive pound pool, so that translates into
improved accuracy, The action's been updated, the operating handles is super it's easier
to pull back. You have aninternal buffer that means softer felt recoil.
There's just a lot of really coolstuff that they've improved on this. And
so if you haven't seen the Jenthree sub two k A readis sub two

(18:22):
thousand on the website, you gotto go check it out. It's from
Celtech, family owned and operated,made in America, Florida based, and
all their stuff super innovative, andI mean it's this sub two k is
one of the cooler things that theymake. You got to check it out.

(18:47):
from every show and Dana's Absurd Truthpodcast posted daily from The Dana Show.
Well, if you want American militarymembers to stay out of the fight with
Russia, help you prank if theygo into a NATO Nasha Russia, We're
in a fight. So, withall due respect to Senator Evance, he's
wrong. We were told within fourdays Key would fall. But is he

(19:11):
wrong about the math, is hewrong about the production? Yeah, he's
wrong the whole concept that we can'tdeal with multiple problems. And World War
Two we fought the Germans and theJapanese. M So Lindsey Graham is upset.
That's the Lindsay Graham I think isbest described as sort of like the
War inc Version faction of the RepublicanParty. He's very upset over criticism of

(19:37):
the passage of this Ukraine Bill,which includes a lot of stuff that's I
mean, really, I don't evenknow why some of this, why we're
funding some of the stuff that's includedin here. Welcome back to the program.
Bottom of the second hour, Danalash with you. This is you
know again one of the of thetop stories is that this past and there
was also we pulled this up tothe for sale, the TikTok for sale,

(20:00):
well the foreign aid package which wentthrough, and it also I mean
there's we were going over some ofthe billions of dollars that are being allocated
for a number of different things inthis including like they're just some of their
entrant resettlement, which is weird.But you also have it's what ninety five
point three billion in a to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. That's the

(20:23):
package, and there it was.Initially they had it separate into four different
bills because I think Johnson thought itwas going to be easier for him to
separate this is Taiwan's, this isIsrael's, this is Ukraine's, and then
here's going to be a fourth proposalof conservative goals, which was rumored to

(20:44):
have originally included some of some borderprovisions, but that didn't happen, so
it got wrapped into one thing,and then it went to the Senate and
the amount that Ukraine would get itwould be sixty point eight billion for Ukraine.
Of this to dissect it all up, fifteen in military, with an
addition nine billion for humanitarian aid,which that's going to go to Gaza,
that's aka Hamas because Hamas runs Gaza. Eight billion for Taiwan. You're spending

(21:10):
more for Ukraine. Then you're sendingto another ally where the majority of these
chips are being made. By theway, with our big facing off against
our biggest geopolitical foe, which isChina, sometimes I think that there that
war INC wants us to focus onRussia, so we don't focus on China
because we do not have the capacityor the mental ability right now in this
country to do both, at leastthe powers that be. There's no way.

(21:32):
So the humanitarian aid is going towardsGaza and Hamas, and the Hamas
run unwra is supposedly barred from gettinginto the funding, which means they're totally
not They're totally going to get it. And then they had a couple of
things that they put in there justto make conservatives happy. A forced sale
of the CCP owned company TikTok tosell that or be unable from operating in

(21:59):
the United States per the New YorkTimes, and the potential ban. The
bill that included that provision was threesixty to fifty eight passage, so that
I think conservatives needed more than that, to be honest. So they were
saying that the package of aid wasnot a blank check and that it's going
to they're going to provide greater accountabilityfor Ukraine aid and forced an in game

(22:23):
strategy for the war. Well,again, as I was telling you the
previous segment, it didn't even getinto I think it was like page thirty
three that they finally started talking aboutwell, we're going to have to have
We're going to have to predicate someof those on some caveats. We were
going to need to know some thingshere. Johnson said, it's not a
perfect bill, which is what everypolitician says when the bill's an absolute,

(22:44):
flaming piece of feces. That's exactlymean, That's what they all say.
And he said that the humanitarian aidto Hamas Gaza was necessary in order for
Democrats to support aid for Israel.So in order for Democrats to support aid
to our only ally in the MiddleEast, we had to support the opponent.
Does that make sense? We hadto support the opponent, which is

(23:07):
asinine, but there it is.So it's not a perfect bill, Johnson
had noted, and so he was. There's still discussion about him being moved
to vacate. I can't. I'mhaving a really difficult time taking seriously any
House member that's calling to vacate thespeakership because they don't have a plan B.
They're just pissed off and they wantedto play musical chairs again at the

(23:30):
dumbest time possible. When we havea plus one majority and zero political capital.
There's literally nobody who is going tobe a big, strong conservative axe
wielder that's going to get in thatposition, because that's not the makeup of
the House. And furthermore, you'renot going to get support. They're going
to have to have support for somemoderate Democrats to even make that happen.

(23:51):
That's why you ended up getting Johnson. Now you understand why I was rolling
my eyes so hard. I wasright, and I am the person who
will say I told you so.I was absolutely one thousand percent correct,
because my judgment is untouchable on thisstuff. With these with these morons that
wanted to do this petty infighting.I'm watching that all of this play out,

(24:11):
and it all happened because someone wasdisgruntled. They had a petty grievance
against McCarthy, and it blew up. And you make defenders of McCarthy out
of people who were not fans ofMcCarthy, which was asonite. They just
people like me simply thought this wasstupid to do this. Now, because
say what you will about McCarthy,he at least had some political capital where

(24:33):
he could call in some favors.Johnson does not have that. And if
you think you're going to get someoneeven you're gonna get somebody even worse.
Remember, we were promised this conservativeutopia Latin for nothing. We had promised
this conservative utopia if we just listenedto Matt Gates and switched out the speaker
seat, and now look what happened. So I, by the way I

(24:56):
put I put the funding of allof this not only at the feet of
democ but I put the continual fundingof this at the feet of the Republicans
who decide to move the deck chairsaround the Titanic while the ship sank,
because they do, they deserve somea portion of blame in this. I
don't think it would have been asbad. I still don't think it would
have been a great bill, butI don't think we would have seen all

(25:17):
the stuff in it that we're seeingthat I've been going over with you throughout
the show. So that's just oneof the things that we've been following.
By the way, today's Earth Day. Guys, remember that it's Earth Day.
No you didn't. You guys didn'tremember that it was Earth Day.
Nobody cares that it's Earth Day.So this is your annual reminder that the

(25:38):
Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn killed andcomposted his girlfriend because he was such a
believer in green everything. Ira Einhornjust a reminder of all of these environmental
things are founded by communists, ofthese all the pretend environmental concern these people
don't give a rats backside about theenvironment. If they cared about the environment,

(26:00):
they wouldn't outsource and export all theirpollution to countries like China or anywhere
else but the United States. Theythink if it's not here, then they
can tell people that it doesn't exist, and they can they can sell you
this like green theology and pretend thatthey're achieving all of their objectives when they're
not. And this is no different. So back in April of nineteen seventy,

(26:21):
Ira Einhorn hosted the first Earth Dayevent in Philly, and then seven
years after that he was discovered tohave marked his girlfriend and composted his compost
at her body inside of a trunk. So he was a big ecological warrior
back then. He was like oneof the original you know, ecological warriors,
along with the weathermen, you know, all those people. They really

(26:42):
cared about the environment, you know. Sure, but his girlfriend of five
years, Helen Maddox, she brokeup with him, and he was very
abusive towards her. He threatened herbecause she wanted to leave him and all
of this stuff. And then whenshe went back to the apartment because she
left, he threw her stuff outin the street. And when Matt he

(27:04):
told Maddox, He's like, youbetter come and get your stuff. He's
like, because I'm going to leaveit out here in the street, all
of your personal belongings, it's goingto stay out here in the street.
You better come and get it ifyou want it back. And so on
September ninth of nineteen seventy seven,she went back to the apartment that she
and Einhorn shared in Philly to gether stuff, and she just disappeared up
and disappeared. And then when policebegan questioning Einhorn, he said she just

(27:27):
went out. She wanted to getsome tofu and sprouts. That's what it
was. She went out at nightto get some tofu and sprouts. Well,
eighteen months later, they searched hisapartment because a neighbor complained that a
reddish brown, foul smelling liquid wasleaking from the ceiling directly below his bedroom
closet, and when police went andsearched Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn's closet.

(27:52):
They discovered Maddox's beaten and partial partiallymummified body stuffed into a trunk that was
also packed with styrofie, a bunchof air fresheners, and newspaper. So
then they arrested him, but hejumped bail, and then he for decades
traveled around the world evading authorities.He was in Ireland, he was in
the UK, he was in France, he was in Sweden. And then

(28:15):
twenty three years later, after hemurdered his extra girlfriend and chopped and put
her in a compost, at herin a bin in his closet, then
he was finally extradited to the UnitedStates from France and he was put on
trial, and then he blamed theCIA, and he said, the CIA
did it. Now, far beit from me to defend some of the
stuff that the CIA did. Butwe all know that this is absolutely no

(28:38):
This guy's he's a commie terrorist,that's what he is. And he's just
like every other progressive male. He'sabusive, and he's weak, and he
has a problem with women. AndI've never met a progressive man. There's
no exception to any of the progressivemen I've ever met in my life that
have not had those issues. Everyone of them does. And so he
went from founding earth Day to compostinghis girl friend. So that's the guy

(29:00):
who founded earth Day. Ira Einhorn, a murderer who composted his girlfriend.
So when all these people celebrate earthDay, especially those people on the left,
they're out there celebrating an abusive andabusive, woman hating murderer who beat
his girlfriend, killed her, andcomposted her in a trunk in his closet

(29:21):
in Philly. Happy earth Day.That's the guy who founded it. Now
we're going to get into throughout theprogram this stupid World War two debate that
I keep seeing happening on the right. Now. I have friends that are
involved in this, and I don'tagree with them on everything, but one
of the things that I do kindof get irked about, and I say
this this. I have always beena major World War Two buff and the

(29:42):
reason being is because my members ofmy family that serve in World War Two,
and we have members of our familythat were in Europe, they were
in Normandy, they were there onD Day. We have members of our
family that were in the Pacific andthat fought the Imperial Japanese. And my
grandfather was on the USS Alabama.And it's always been fun to kind of
like chase the USS Alabama and theirbattles throughout history and know that, oh,

(30:07):
my gosh, my grandfather was here, and he was in this bottle.
My grandfather was here, He wasa he was shot down suicide bombers.
He operated one of the fifty Cowsand on that ship. And when
I was reading that, and Iended up seeing this on social media over
the weekend, members the people onthe right were saying they were holding leftist
positions and saying, well, maybeit was bad that we dropped, you

(30:30):
know, nuke bombs on Japan.And I can't believe anybody that has a
heart would say that it's okay tojust, you know, drain nuclear weaponry
on you know, innocent women andchildren. And these are people, by
the way, the people who saythis, these are people who have never,
in their entire lives ever had tomake a hard decision. These are
people who have never been in compromisingsituations where their safety was affected. These

(30:53):
are people who have never had tomake a difficult decision in their life,
least of all anything related to force, anything related to combat, anything related
to law enforcement. These are always, you know, the armchair quarterbacks who
sit there and they criticize everything thateverybody else does. And whenever I see
people say this about World War Two, I'm struck with I'm actually fascinated to

(31:17):
the lack of self awareness that thesepeople have, because normally, you know,
with human behavior, when one displaysan academic ignorance, a historical illiteracy
that is so grand, at somepoint you begin to feel self conscious and
embarrassed about your stupidity. But thepeople that are talking about this stuff in

(31:37):
this manner do not, because it'sall about the clicks, right, It's
all about the chasing, the engagement, which is asinine because Japan, I
think people forget this. In thefifteen to twenty years leading up to World
War Two, well, at leaston the Pacific side of things, Japan
were monsters. The Imperial Japanese weremonsters. They were roving like a band

(32:06):
of locusts throughout nation after nation,raping and pillaging, destroying nations and eating
up consuming like the borg, consumingup all their resources to feed their imperialist
fantasies, and this is one ofthe reasons why, and we'll get into
this. We ended up placing tariffson Japan. A lot of people say,

(32:31):
oh, the United States is meanto Japan with trade and economically,
and that put Japan in a verydifficult position. Japan put Japan in a
very difficult position. The United States'sreaction didn't do that. Let's learn a
little bit about causing effect. Okay, but coming up, we're going to
discuss what do they do actually rightbefore getting into World War Two? And

(32:51):
then what were the last days ofimperial Japan like. And this is very
important to know because a lot ofpeople don't realize that even after the nuclear
bombs were detonated, there was stillan attempt, There was a coup to
stop Japan from surrendering. They wantedto go on. We're going to talk
about this. We're also going totouch on Operation Downfall and katsu Go.

(33:14):
Those were the two plants at eachnation. In the United States and Japan
had that they were getting ready tocall into action. People who have bring
you free radio and also teach youabout the history of all of this stuff,
the history of our republic. Andall of the rights that we have
as Americans. Hillsdale College, it'sa small classical liberal arts college in southern
Michigan, all about the pursuit oftruth and defense of liberty hallmarks since they're

(33:38):
founding in eighteen forty four. Andone of the cool things about Hillsdale's all
the free stuff that they make availableand you don't have to pay anything for
it, and that's what's really awesome. Like, for instance, they're digesting
primus that they send out to almostseven million homes. It deep dives into
a number of different current event issueswhile also incorporating lessons about natural and civil

(34:01):
rights. For instance, the AmericanMedical Association, you want to talk about
the rampant DEI and CRT that's ruiningeverything. Think about medicine because now the
AMA has said that medicine is quoteimbued with white supremacy, and so they
have to lower their standards now onmedical school entrance tests. What does that
mean for you when you go intosurgery. See, so this is all

(34:22):
the stuff that they discuss. It'sa free digestive liberty and it provides smart
constitutional commentary from leading conservative minds nocost to obligation. They print this and
mail this just as part of theireducational mission on behalf of Liberty. You

So are the days of the UnitedStates. He is a tried and
true, like died in the woolracist, Like in the core of his

(35:07):
being, he's a racist. SoI don't want to hear what he has
to say about what he's done forblack people. He's done very little for
us, and he is at hiscore truly truly a racist. And you
even hear what he says about immigrationin which countries he wants people to come
in from, that's John Legend saying, I guess what he's talking about Trump.

(35:30):
That's like the breadth of all ofthe analysis of why people don't like
him. Well, it's, youknow, because he's a racist. I
mean, if you're going to criticizehim for stuff, criticize him over stuff
that he actually does. But I'mso tired of seeing this over and over
and over and over and over againand hearing it that that's like, that's
the that's the the all that theyhave. Well, he's a racist and

(35:54):
you know it just does racist stuffand he's you know, like racist and
stuff that it's so dumb. It'sso dumb. Now coming up, we're
going to talk about Abercrombian bitch,the infantata Abercrombie bitch that's at Columbia and
some of these other universities. Idon't know if you've seen some of the

(36:15):
protests, if this was one ofmy kids that was there, there's the
world doesn't have the amount of flipflops that I would be having in my
hands smacking kids and their friends.There. There is not enough supply in
the world. So where are theparents of these brats? By the way,
and have you seen some of them? I mean, they're literal trust

(36:37):
fun terrorists. That's kind of redundant, is it not. We're going to
talk a little bit about that.We're also going to continue on dissecting this
stupid debate that took place on theright. Well, I mean, you
know, we shouldn't have been droppingthe atomic bombs on Japan World War two.
We're gonna get into all of thatand more. Stick with us,
more of the Danish show coming up. The best coffee you can drink Veteran

of target on their back or doyou feel that you are being targeted because
of the fact that it is insolidarity with Palestinians and against what Israel is
doing two Palestinians. Oh, thisis one hundred percent targeted. Every single

(38:02):
protest that we have, there's agroup of counter protesters that bring all of
their items, their their flags andthings like that, and they're not seen
as having unsanctioned protests or really receivethe kind of disciplinary warnings that many of
our fellow organizers receive just from beingseen at these protests. That's a lot,
and so there is definitely some hypocrisyhere. Especially you can kind of
see it with the students that werethat were sprayed us with the chemical weapons

(38:28):
and the fact that there is nopublic information has made up story, but
rather the university is actively discussing whatis happening to the students here and making
it a whole public spectacle rather thanwhen we haven't done anything to physically harm
students, whereas those that sprayed thosechemical weapons physically. So the Charlottesville tiki
torch protesters meet your match. Thisis uh uh, and this is,

(38:52):
uh, the what if we callthem the Abercrombie and bitch infintata, the
protesters and all of these colle campuses, and that individual is Illino. Mar's
daughter is REHEARSI who was saying that, oh, her group is one hundred
percent targeted. First off, thefartspray thing, that somebody, one of
their own people pulled a prank,one of their own protesters pulled a prank

(39:14):
on the other one, and theydecided to make up a story and blame
Jewish students for it and say thatit was a that it was some kind
of like chemical attack, and itwas I mean, that's that's so stupid
it, I mean, it defiesall logic. But they're arguing essentially that

(39:38):
they don't want any anti protests todisrupt their protest. That's what she's arguing
for. And she was one ofthe people who was taken into custody over
the weekend because they were screaming invectives. And there their protests go way beyond
protesting for Hamas and gaza like.They they are actively like denigrating Jewish students

(40:00):
and making it unsafe by like barringtheir entry to certain buildings and all of
this, so it goes way beyondthat. That's why, by the way,
that's why they were being removed.Welcome back to the program top of
this second hour with you Dana lash. Here. You can listen to the
radio program across the country, andyou can also watch the simulcast on all

(40:21):
platforms everywhere. But that's it.Columbian University is also canceled all in person
classes as the protests have dominated thecampus and even like the rabbis near in
the area have been issuing warnings toJewish students. So the Columbia University all

(40:42):
their in person classes because everything's beenescalating. The school's rabbi warned Jewish students
not to return to campus a bitof horrifying spikes and extreme anti semitism.
There's been a lot of stuff thatI can't even play that's been on video
because we'd have to censor the wholething and you wouldn't be able to hear
it. It's really nasty stuff.I mean, this is people are just
like making this up. It's nothyperbabole. I mean, I've seen I

(41:05):
don't know how much video there existsout there. People don't even care about
being caught on video doing this andsaying this stuff anymore. They don't care
because they've been given they've been givena pass by the left. I mean,
this isn't about protesting for Hamas inGaza. And by the way,
when you're protesting for Gaza, you'reprotesting for Hamas. This isn't about protesting
for Gaza slash Hamas. This isn'tabout protesting as a criticism of the Israeli

(41:30):
government. These are organized students,organized by many, many different forces,
and this is about targeting Jewish studentson campus and the fact that it's gotten
so unsafe. So Colombia is aprivate it's private property, and so for

(41:53):
NYPD to even be there means thatthe university had to call them, and
the universe is pretty leftist. Forthe university to have to call NYPD tells
you everything that you need to know. They had to call and bring in
WHYPD on their property because it's beenthat bad, that bad when they and

(42:17):
the way that these demonstrators they theymake it to where if it's on the
you know, uh, they theyset up your temple on the campus,
or they set up and put theirlittle tensities out there so that they make
it to where Jewish students must gothrough them or must go past right past

(42:37):
them in order to get where theyneed to go to access different parts of
campus. It's done by design,it's purposeful for harassment, targeted harassment based
on religion. And then when theyget in trouble for their behavior, then
they cry that they're the ones beingvictimized. And that's that's not how it

(43:00):
works. They've been victimizing everyone else. Accountability is in victimization, and so
they've been I mean it's and it'swhat like Ripe four passover. They also
at Columbia University and the NYPD,they actually made it clear that they could
not guarantee Jewish students safety. Andthen Eleano Maher's daughter, this twenty one

(43:24):
year old trust fund terrorist, claimsthat she has nowhere to live or eat
after she was suspended from school.She's like, Oh, I'm homeless now
and I'm starving. Why don't youhave your mom or your dad, uncle
whatever help you out. I meanthat's just saying, why don't you have
one of them help you out?I mean, you know, if you

(43:45):
fay'd and then now you're foing,So I don't feel bad for you.
You don't get to be a victimthat caffia that they're were, that's the
new tiki torch. It's the exactlythe same thing as the tiki torch in
Charlottesville. They are those people.They are the exact same people. They
just wear scarf instead of the tikitorch. It's the same thing. And

(44:10):
so she's like, I don't knowwhere I'm going to sleep. I don't
know what I'm gonna do. TeenVogue has been there to lionize her as
far as it's propaganda. And youwant to know why young women or why
women in general survey the way theydo and all these polls that are taken
because they're brainwashed from the time they'reteenagers, impressionable young women by everything the
media they consume, the women orientedfashion magazines, everything, it's all designed

(44:37):
and organized to to pierce the mindsof impressionable young ladies and brainwash them.
Of course, she was raised byElino mar So you know, go figure,
the failed rocket doesn't fall far fromthe launch side on top of the
school building. You know, itjust goes to goes to show. But

(44:58):
she's the one who's victimized and allof this. Now you know these She
was at Bernard College. She saidthe administration there hunger out to dry.
She can't go to her she can'tuse her dining plane. Well, yeah,
because you you know you you youviolated their their rules on behavior.
I mean, what did you thinkwas going to happen? I mean it's

(45:20):
crazy. I mean it shows it'sbeen anarchy there screaming people have been saying,
yes, we are all hamas andthen a slur gets that the protesters
have been saying and I'm not talkinglike one or two of them, so
I told you. And the factthat a lot of these students can't even

(45:42):
go to classes there safely is wild, just wild. These colleges, you
know, they created this situation forthemselves. And I hope a lot of
people now see this is what thisis what we were kind of warning about.
They're using the exact the left alwaysuses. They rehash the same tactics.
This is the Occupy Wall Street tacticthat these student that these campus protesters

(46:04):
are using. They're just going tocamp out. She's not homeless, she
can get a little tent living withthose little ten cities, right, same
difference. She's just going she saysshe's struggling so much with her expensive iPhone
and all of that stuff, andshe documents her struggle. My word,
just some of the they're the literallythe exact same. That scarf is,

(46:27):
the tiki torch. One of theother things we've been discussing too. With
all of this, and we're gonnacome back to the college stuff. Is
this ridiculous, stupid World War twodebate. I don't know if you've seen
some of those that's taken place onthe right. It's so dumb. The
apparently it came up that I don'tknow there was an argument over on the
right, there was there were argumentsover whether or not the United States should

(46:52):
have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, whether or not that that should have
happened, whether or not they shouldhave done it. And friends of mine
have been even debating this, someof them saying, well, we're you
know, you can't debate the droppingof nuclear bombs on civilians. You know,
if you're arguing that it's good todrop nukes on people, then you're
evil. I think it's I actuallythink it's kind of evil to frame the

(47:15):
debate in that manner, and that'snot the pro I reject the content.
I would reject the framing of thatdebate, just like I would reject the
framing of a bad argument on theSecond Amendment, or the framing of an
argument about removing bad contexts, removingwomen from men's from women's sports in favor
of men. It's just a badcontext. And here's the context of it.

(47:37):
Preceding Japan's entering too World War Two, they spent well over a decade,
nearly two decades, just plowing throughall of the nations that surrounded them,
gobbling up their resources for their imperialistgoals. They wanted to expand and
control everything. And what China,good heavens, Philippines in I mean even

(48:06):
India, I mean, good grief. They were fighting with everybody. And
this idea that they were going tosurrender after the bomb was dropped is a
lie. It's not an ida,it's an absolute lie. There were,
in fact, there was a coupattempt even after the bomb was dropped to

(48:28):
challenge the government of Japan. Andthese were other military officials and other leaders
within Japan because they were not unified, their own government wasn't even unified.
On ceasing hostilities. Some wanted tocontinue. In fact, they even had

(48:49):
plans to do this Cuts who go, Operation kutsu Go. And again,
for those of you who aren't familiar, I'm a huge World War Two buff
and we had family that served inWorld War Two on both sides of the
globe, and my grandfather particularly wasin the Pacific fighting the Imperial Japanese.
There was a really great piece thatcame out. It was called there are
No Civilians in Japan, and it'sfrom the National World War II Museum and

(49:13):
it gets in there's a lot ofhistory here, but it touches a little
bit on And this was, bythe way, the title of that came
from. This was in nineteen fortyfive. It was US Army Air Force
Intelligence that had issued this report anddistributed it within within other officers in the
Pacific, saying that Japan was usingits entire population as a military target,

(49:40):
a military entity. And it wasn'thyperbole. That's what a lot of people
think, people who don't understand orare even aware of Operation Cuts you Go,
because that's exactly what Japanese leaders wereorganizing to do. They I mean,
they're there were enough of them.They were rejecting any and all surrender.

(50:04):
And so the idea, which translatesinto Operation Decisive, Operation cuts you
go, was that they were goingto force a ground invasion and use literally
like every man, woman and childin Japan as a military as as a
soldier. We're going to talk moreabout this because that's exactly what that's what

(50:24):
they were. They were planning onconverting their multi million member population, uh
into a military unit. We're goingto talk more, like I said,
about this coming up, but thereare a lot of people who just don't
know history here. As we moveour partners that help bring you free radio,

It's time for Dana's Quick five SoNew York Home Depot they're actually to hire

(52:00):
guards and dogs to keep their parkinglots safe from thieves and aggressive illegal entrants
that have been flooding the parking lots. They said that there have been numerous
private security guards, people with bulletproofvests, German shepherds Belgium, Mallenwaws in
tol In patrolling the home depot inNew Rochelle. That's just one of them.

(52:22):
They said that it's just about omnipresence. It's like you. They don't
go out and bite anything, butthere have been people who come end of
the country legally that aggressively solicit forwork, or people who loiter there try
to camp in the parking lot.They said that they're at one point in
the Bronx there were at least thirtyillegal entrants that were at the doors of
a home depot and they were tryingto make contact with contractors and all of

(52:46):
that to get work and aggressively confrontingshoppers. Some of them were trying to
sell them phony Apple AirPods or atdemanding money when they were leaving the store,
and they said that if you're awoman, particularly leaving this store,
they really would target use. Sothey had to bring in all the privacy.
This is why you got to havea gun, but in New York
they make it where you can't becausethey don't want to keep you safe.
It's all about making sure that victimthat the criminals have enough people to victimize.

(53:07):
That's all they care about. Thelet's see a wave of narco chemical
terrorism Walmart apparently in my area.Is that the only ones using drones?
Apparently now the cartels may do themas well. This from a British newspaper,
a wave of narco chemical terrorism.The cartels may soon be delivering fenton
off from drones, dropping Fenton allfrom drones and maybe other maybe weapons or

(53:35):
who knows what else. They said. This has already been happening in with
the Jalisco New Generation cartel. Apparentlythey've been doing this and then they've also
been using it as a way todrop chemical agents on enemies in different Mexican
municipalities. Oh my heavens, well, you knew it was coming. There's

(53:55):
currently no response from the government howto deal with it, especially on well,
either with Democrats or Republicans. Ohhey, guess what, there's a
finally some kind of high speed railconstruction. They don't need this. It's
literally like a two hour drive fromLa to Vegas. They're gonna do a
high speed rail between Vegas and California, privately owned Bright Line. They're gonna

(54:17):
break ground next week on a twelvebillion dollars high speed rail project connecting Vegas
and southern California. I think thisis actually incredibly stupid. It's literally a
two hour ride, that's it.It's a two hour drive through the desert,
that's it. This is one ofthe dumbest expenses I've ever seen.
But they said that's they're electric trains. They're gonna depart every forty five minutes.

(54:39):
They're gonna go from a station orRancho Pucamonga, which is an LA
suburb, to Vegas. Twelve billiondollars. Remember, California has had billions
of dollars plan for a high speedrail like from LA to San Francisco that
never got done. It's like oneof Gavenue Some's biggest embarrassments. And apparently

(55:00):

the tent city. The tent city. You're hearing the background where they sat

(56:34):
up. I guess on the quadof this which campus is? This is
this Columbia. There's apparently they're startingto do stuff at Mit. They were
doing stuff at Yale. This isYale, I think probably. And well
the tent city, the one thatwe just saw in the simulcas was from
Colombia. They were this is exactlywhat the occupy and the chant chop people
did. They want to turn itinto the people at the university, whatever

(56:55):
the hell that means. They saythis stuff and they have no idea what
they're talking about. Welcome back tothe program, Dana Lash with you bottom
of the second hour. The tentcity, they all got the same kind
of tents. That's super convenient thatthey all just had the exact same kind
of tents. Isn't it so convenient? That doesn't look like it was just
bought in mass quantities at all anddistributed because literally nobody has that many tents.

(57:21):
There's that many people. No,that's not you all know that.
And they just have their junk thrownall over the quad there. This is
what you're looking at on the simulcastas Columbia. So welcome back to the
program again, Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast bottom
of this second hour. That's theh A friend of mine said it was
the Urban Outfitters. I'm adding theAbercrombie and Bitch Infantata. They identified that

(57:46):
little chubby blonster. What is this? Pull that dude up pull that.
This is one of the VI findthose. This is one of the videos
that the guy with his little he'sI mean he would be. He's like
one of the Charlottesville guys that exceptthe kaffia that he has that's new.
That's his uh tiki torch. Thoseare the new tiki torches. Guys.

(58:09):
Those scarves are the new tiki torches. Well, apparently he was identified.
Now he was one of the peoplethere that they apparently they had just torn
up an American flag and he wasprotesting for Hamas. Yeah, somebody tore
up the American flag. Oh they'reso excited. They took down the flag

(58:30):
and tore it up. Ah,they're like. He turns around, He's
like, oh, there's a camerathere. Yeah, there is bug buzz
cut macgee there is. He literallylooks like a Lenny Reef install extra he
does. He looks like a Lennyreef install extra. I'm waiting for him
to turn around and say, HyleHitler. He's been identified by Stop Anti

(58:50):
Semitism as Thomas Kinservic. His father, Matthew Kinservic, is a professor of
English and the vice provost for FacultyAffair at the University of Delaware, and
they said that he appears to workpart time at Yale Center for British Art
when not participating in rallies destroying theAmerican flag. The dude that you see

(59:12):
on your screen, he turned around. That's a shocked look. By the
way, doesn't he look shocked like, Oh, I'm on camera because I
feel like he knows that there's gonnabe some kind of accountability. Maybe look
great, look at the work they'redoing it Yale. Of course, his
dad's a professor corseos. Of courseheos. So he's a pro hamas.
He literally looks just like little Hitleryouth. What's what this dude looks like?

(59:38):
And his dad, if I'm honest, kind of looks like a date
bag too. Picture of his dad. Who's the I just saw a picture
of him. He's apparently the viceprovost of something or other. This guy's
studying apparently British art. I gottalaugh out loud. And as I mentioned

(01:00:00):
earlier, you know you have passoverright before passover. They're doing this all
on purpose. It's organized and it'sdone all on purpose. I think I'm
all for it. If you dostuff like this in public, I'm all
for you being publicly named and shamed. I'm all for it. I think
that it's fitting. Now it's beingagain anti Semitism reporter that that little Hitler

(01:00:21):
youth juniors there, his dad,Matthew Kinservik, is the apparently professor of
English in the Vice Provost. Anybodywho does if you were not born in
the seventies or eighties, and youdid not have your photo taken with,
you know, at an Olin Millsstudio in the seventies, eighties or early
nineties holding your chin with like aghost vision of you up above. You

(01:00:45):
guys know what I'm talking about,then there's no reason why this picture should
exist like that. That's just youlook like a stooge. Stop it.
It shouldn't surprise you that this dude'skid apparently been the one that was there
at that rally tearned down the flag. They all of this has been predicated

(01:01:08):
upon such a lie, an absolutelie, like the whole thing that Israel
is committing genocide, oh they're not, or that Goz is occupied. Goz
is not occupied Hamas. And Imean, if you want to say it,
that's a failed colonization attempt by peoplewho no other Arab nation will allow

(01:01:29):
them to come and live within theirborders, because just ask Lebanon what happened
when they tried to do that.It doesn't ever, it never ends peacefully
for generations. Now a couple ofgenerations, you have pro Hamas people voting
for Hamas, approving of Hamas.I mean, I keep seeing video after
video of the attacks on October seventh. There sure are a hell of a

(01:01:52):
lot of civilians there helping spit onsome of the women and kick some of
the dudes that have been taken intocaptivity by Hama when they motorbike get back
into Gaza. Really interesting that.But there's no there's colonization of land that
Israel gave them, But there's nooccupation that doesn't exist. That's not a

(01:02:13):
real thing. But you have allof these college young adults that believe that
this is the way it's happening,and this is by the way, now
it's Stanford as well. It's atHarvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford,
Mit, all of the big IvyLeague schools you are told with the Creme
de la creme of higher education thatare producing the absolute worst people and the

(01:02:38):
worst protests. It's just it's abysmal. It's radical ideology. This is what
happens when it comes into play,when it's mature, when it comes into
fruition. This is it. Andby the way, I also don't believe
that Israel's response to Hamas attacking iton October seventh sparked these protests. They

(01:03:05):
have just been waiting for an excuseto go out and do this. They've
been waiting for something that's not thecause of it. These people and their
religious war is what is the causeof it. That's I mean, that's
the reality of it. And thennow you're seeing it increased tensions in all

(01:03:30):
of these college campuses. They thinkthat it's easy to target I honestly feel
like some of them think it's easyto target Jewish people. That's why they
think it's like easy to target Christiansbecause Christians are running around cutting your heads
off. I don't know there's itis. It's really absolutely amazing to watch

(01:03:54):
all these people show you who theyare and what they support. The whole
World War two stuff that we've beentalking about, because just as you've been
seeing this on the left, onthe right, the right has been arguing
as to over whether or not weshould have dropped the bombs on Japan.
The answer is yes. Anyone who'sarguing against it is literally a historical,
historically illiterate. And we were talkingabout Operation cutsu Go, which is what

(01:04:19):
Japan was. They were getting readyto turn their entire population into plain close
soldiers where you wouldn't be able toknow the difference. I mean, that's
this is a simple fact of anystudent of history. I mean, that's
that's and we had Operation Downfall,they had katsu Go. Operation Downfall was

(01:04:40):
the United States as plan if theif Japan was to invade, and our
casualty estimates were something like half amillion, almost up to a million just
hours alone. That doesn't include thenumber that was being estimated for Japan because

(01:05:02):
they were mobile. They were planningon mobilizing with kutsug at least five million
men, and they were going tohave over six million in total when fully
realized, when Kutsugo was fully realized, and they were every male was from
age fifty to fifteen to sixty wasgoing to be a soldier. In every
female age seventeen to forty was goingto be a soldier. And this was

(01:05:27):
over a quarter of Japan's entire populationthat they were going to mobilize into becoming
plain closed civilian soldiers. That's whythat report went out that there were no
civilians in Japan and it was gettinginto Operation katsu Go, and a lot
of people who have been arguing againstthe nuclear bomb, again historically illiterate people
were somehow like making up some stupidthing that it was like a racial thing

(01:05:49):
or something that our military put out, which was so stupid. But I
mean, this would be they andthe people that they were mobilizing would be
in the targeted invasion area. SoStates had a plan, Japan had a
plan apparently too. We had createda whole bunch of purple hearts in preparation
for this, and it's apparently ahuge we created this massive production. Had

(01:06:15):
we manufactured a whole bunch of purplehearts that we still apparently have in our
possession in anticipation of having to douceof Operation Downfall. And so when you
look at the casualties from dropping thebombs on Nakasaki and Hiroshima compared to the
casualties that absolutely would have occurred withkutsu Goo an Operation Downfall, there's not

(01:06:39):
even a comparison you're looking at.And this is what geopolitics is. It
looks at the best numbers. You'relooking at a cost of like several hundred
thousand to multi million casualties. Thatis indisputable. And the other thing too
is I really feel like for thepeople that pretend to be America first,
you're not arguing it because America firstdoesn't give a rats ass, especially in

(01:07:02):
wartime. It's the other country's responsibilityto care about your citizens. And this
is war. This is why it'salways the last resort. Because an awards
America first, and it awards ourcivilians, our citizens first. What is
going to minimize our casualties? Whatis going to minimize our loss of resources?
Either be America first, or don'tbe American first, but don't sit

(01:07:23):
here and use the slogan and actall fist in the air, MAGA or
whatever else. And then argue thistype of stuff. What's the matter with
you? This is not an AmericaFirst stance to argue that we should not
have limited the casualties, the knowncasualties of several hundred thousand compared to the
absolute casualties that we know would haveoccurred multi million with Operation Downfall and cut

(01:07:44):
to go by not dropping the bomband act like that. Somehow, that's
an America First position to say thatwe should have lost millions more so we
could virtue signal about not dropping abomb. Sit down. A lot of
people need to be hitting the booksinstead of hitting the keyboard on social media.
A lot of people need to behitting the books instead of hitting the
the podcast circuit Good Grief. It'sembarrassing. It's especially embarrassing to watch anybody

(01:08:08):
older than me talk about this stuffand not get it right. History is
not hard. You know. Allof these facts are hidden things they call
books, but that's facts. Wewould have lost millions upon millions upon millions
of people, and katsu Go wasan absolute thing. The Allied invasion,

(01:08:35):
the area of the targeted area ofinvasion that we would have done the home
and the land invasion on were theuh. Some Japanese islands. They were
the Home Islands and it was nearHanshu. They were the proposed landing sites
for that operation. It would havebeen horrific. It would have been horrific,

(01:09:00):
and my grandfather would have been oneof the individuals involved. In fact,
I think everybody over in the Pacificwould have been, and it was
expected. There was discussion that wouldhave involved British participation, and there were
several different subops with it. Butthat's I mean, you know, ultimately
these operations you would have seen.In fact, Japanese propaganda and support of

(01:09:24):
katsu Go was quote the sooner theAmericans come, the better one hundred million
die proudly. That was their sloganthe summer of nineteen forty five. And
again don't forget after Nakasaki Hiroshima,there was the attempted coup. They were
going to overthrow parts of the governmentthat wanted to surrender. There were major
factions in the Japanese government that didnot want to surrender. They wanted to

(01:09:45):
keep going. So for those peoplewho thought that this was going to end
peacefully, it never was. Thiswas literally the only option left and people
who think otherwise, who thought thatJapanese could be reasoned with, are also
historically illiterate about the twenty years precedinginvolvement in World War Two. It's his
life mission to make bad decisions.It's time for Florida man man. This

(01:10:13):
story has everything. A guy fishing, getting a gator out, old people
running everywhere. They were outside tryingto enjoy the day, and a gator
starts chasing him, and a guyin a flannel shirt that has the sleeves
ripped off at showed up barefoot,bear handed and wrestled the eight foot gator.
I mean, this literally is thestory that has everything that you'd ever
want in a Florida man story.So let's start with it a Florida Man.

(01:10:34):
There's two headlines here and it's thesame story. First as a Florida
man went fishing and pulled out analligator that chased him. And then the
second part of the story is aFlorida man wrangled an eight foot gater with
bare hands and without shoes. Hewas watching a hockey game and apparently all
hell broke loose. He's an MMAfighter and he went out and he had

(01:10:56):
wrestled this gator. This is acrazy story. First off look. I
love that the shirt's sleeveless. That'smy favorite thing about this story. So
this guy's blue collar brawler. I'dcorrected myself. That's there's a story.
There's two stories here. The MMAfighter he captured a gator that was found
in I was chasing people near theschool and the gator was like, apparently

(01:11:19):
running towards everybody and scaring the bejeebasout of everybody. And he heard what
was happening, and apparently because helives right there, he was watching a
hockey game and he's also, Ishould note, a licensed trapper, and
he was watching the hockey game andhe went out and went and wrestled this

(01:11:41):
gator and that was the end ofit. Florida Fish and Wildlife took it
into custody barefoot. I just wasthinking, he's on his bare knees on
that pavement. That had to hurt. But the shirt is my favorite thing
in the world. That is howyou wear a sleeveless shirt, gents,
So kudos to him. The Floridaman who went fishing and pulled a gator
out that chased one. The screenshotor the screen grab of this gator running

(01:12:03):
at people is my favorite thing becausethe gators like basically hovering. It's going
so fast. And there's a ladywith a helmet on who's jogging. You
can tell she's out, you know, doing her exercise exercise. And it's
at a park and this dude fishespulls this gator out of the pond,

(01:12:24):
which at some point you're gonna myquestion is, at what point did he
realize that he had a gator on? And then when did he run off?
Because this thing is well upon landchasing people. But he said he
was trying to reel out his catchand then he didn't expect the gator to
come out, but the gator apparentlywas mad, started chasing him and took

(01:12:45):
off Florida again, Florida Fish andWildlife had to intervene. They had to
get involved, and they captured thisgator. Okay, So this man was
accused of shooting another McDonald's guy inan guy at McDonald's a patron after an
argument over sauce. There's a Floridaman who is accused of shooting a customer
at a McDonald's drive through because theguy first guy didn't get the sauce that

(01:13:10):
he wanted, so he got mad, and another guy intervened, and the
guy who intervened apparently got shot,and it just wild. And it was
an older man. It was anineteen year old versus a forty eight year
old. The forty eight year oldwas the one who apparently started the problem.
He was arrested. He's in jail, no bond available. Third hour

(01:13:30):
on the way, stick with us. Most of these dollars are really an
investment in America, in our defenseindustrial base. We will be producing the
weapons that the Iranians used to defeatVladimir Putin. So it's a good moment
for the country that'll be they'll beusing weapons that Iranians used to You know
that Russia and Iran our besties.Right, good grief that, Senator Bob

(01:13:59):
Casey. We don't need to bedoing any of that, I think,
And just good grief. It's thesame thing, this package that passed.
It's just an insane We were talkinga little bit about it first hour.
All of the hundreds of millions ofdollars that are in this I mean,
heaven forbid, we don't pay thepensions and benefits of Ukrainian government officials.
And if you think I'm making thatup, then you should probably I refer

(01:14:19):
you to the Deputy Prime Minister ofUkraine herself, who had said that quote,
if they did not receive the promiseson from the US and EU about
financial aid, then they weren't goingto be able to pay their pensions and
benefits. That's actually her quote.So she's on record of saying that.
Financial Times reported at Wall Street Journal, a lot of other a lot of
other news outlets did as well,and she said it repeatedly. So yeah,

(01:14:44):
that's not really You're in a war, that's the last thing that you
should be worried about funding. Soagain, welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash here with you at thetop of this third hour, and we're
going to talk to our friend evenYates coming up as well. But this,
this, I mean not a singlething in here. The border patrol

(01:15:09):
was I was looking at my noteson that. They were quite upset,
understandably so, about the lack ofanything in it. I mean literally,
there was nothing in the bill forany of them, nothing in for the
force multiplier of wall construction, youknow, nothing more. Chip Roy had

(01:15:33):
a big statement out about it becausehe opposed the bills and he was saying
that they were brought forward to achievea predetermined outcome, an unpaid for aid
package that did nothing to secure theborder, nothing, And he said they
had a He said Republicans had ashow vote on HR thirty six oh two,

(01:15:57):
which was a version of HR twothat removed do you verify and then
added ten billion dollars in funding toyou know, support what they said,
support some border states. Royce saidthat he wasn't going to vote for the
bill, or he said, Ivoted for the bill, but he goes
others were not going to It wasdesigned to fail under the suspension of rules,

(01:16:17):
he tweeted as a cover vote becausethe House Republicans chose not to attach
it to that foreign aid package.Now you remember what I said about that
big, giant, you know,ninety billion dollar foreign aid package. Originally
Mike Johnson had it to where itwas split into four things, four different
pieces, and you had Ukraine,you had Ukraine funding, Israel funding,

(01:16:43):
Taiwan funding, and then there wasgoing to be a fourth piece to that
that was promised to be conservative wishlist items, i e. The border,
which I think it's weird that thatwould be considered something for conservatives to
get some stuff for the border,but it was supposed to be in that
and so HR thirty six to two, they took it out of the end

(01:17:06):
package. When it got to theSenate, they wrapped it up and won,
but jettisoned anything that was in thefourth section of that. And so
in the House they had a showvote over thirty six to oh two,
and it had stripped all that,I mean, a lot of the teeth
out of it. So that's it. That's how they did it. Johnson

(01:17:27):
does not have a lot of politicalcapital to work with. I mean,
that's what happened when you have aspeaker vote and you have no plan to
replace the speaker none, they hadno plan. I mean, I'm still
mad over it because I feel like, even though you're not going to get
a good speaker until you get amore conservative house, and the speaker's just

(01:17:50):
essentially the average of the voting makeupof the Republicans in the House, You're
not going to get a strong conservativein that position until you get a more
conservative House. And remember, theyhave to work even a speaker, they
got to work and deal with someRepublican or Democrats as well, so when

(01:18:12):
they had this speaker fight, theydid not have a single person in mind
to step up and take McCarthy's spot. They were scrambling. Remember, they
the House could not really consider anyother proposals, and I mean they could
deal with stuff in committee, butthey couldn't deal with anything else on the
floor until they got the speakership figuredout. And now they're talking about doing

(01:18:34):
it again over this. So ChipRoy was quite angry, understandably so about
all of this, and he hadtweeted about it a number of things.
And this doesn't really bode well,I think for Republican enthusiasm going into November

(01:18:54):
either, because Republicans are, inmany instances their own worst enemies. The
infighting and especially with the power ofthe purse the only thing that we control.
And I hope you realize that weare on track to not keep the
House. It's good. I mean, this could shape up to be disastrous.

(01:19:16):
Some of the other polling as wellis not looking good. But the
House, particularly the power of thepurse. Republican voters see this, what
does it do to enthusiasm of gettingyou out? Think about it for yourself.
Think about this for a minute.How do you feel about getting up
and going out and voting for Republicansafter witnessing what they passed through the House

(01:19:41):
and what they didn't really fight afterthat, and what they ended up wrapping
up into one thing in the Senate. Does it make you excited to go
out and vote for them? That'simportant. Does it make you excited to
vote, because that's a measure ofhow likely you are actually to go out
and vote, and then whether ornot you're going to be sort of like
an evangelist to maybe recruit voters yourselfgoing into the going into November. Doesn't

(01:20:05):
there's it's it's a it's a drainon enthusiasm, and enthusiasm plays into voter
turnout, and Republicans have always struggledhistorically with voter turnout. This isn't great.
It wasn't great. Uh. Withregards to the other aspect of that
fund that foreign aid bill, Roynotes that as it relates to the substance

(01:20:30):
of the spending portion for Israel,they literally tied up humanitarian assistance for Hamas
in a foreign aid package for Israel, and Roy and others say, and
it's a nine billion, nine billiondollar thing. Actually it's almost ten billion
dollars, and he says it's absolutelygoing to fund Hamas. Of course it

(01:20:51):
is because the NGOs that are alreadythere have been in real time, they've
been targeed. They've been like targetingthe idea. So we have ten billion
dollars essentially in tech and I sayten billion, I'm round it. I
mean it's almost ten billion. Andlet's just round up ten billion dollars.
Not only are we expected. Ican't imagine in any other Can you imagine

(01:21:14):
in World War two? Well,you gotta you gotta fund uh uh.
You know the Germans too, yougotta FUNDU. The Nazis, you gotta
fund them. Can you imagine beingtold that you have to not only deal
with the Allied powers, but thenyou got to they have to fund relief
for the access powers. That doesn'tmake any sense, but that's what we're
doing here. And again Hamas isabsolutely going to get this money. It's

(01:21:35):
not gonna They always say, ofall the aid that's already been sent over
there, and all of the moneythat's already been spent for aid, why
is it not reflective? Why can'tyou see it? Then? Because AMAS
takes it all. Remember when theythey found like all of these when they
get when they distributed these health kits, these med kits, and they found
them in the tunnels, and theyfound them at Hamas headquarters under the hospital

(01:21:59):
in Gaza City that Hamas had takenthem and they had used it for themselves.
They had taken a lot of theMRIs. I remember the one guy
the video who was complaining about thefood packages that were distributed. I guess
because it wasn't a seven course meal. They found a lot of those packages
also in these Hamas headquarters after theyraided it under the hospital and elsewhere and
in the tunnels, and it's notbeing used for the people. Hamas has

(01:22:21):
taking it and using it for themselves. So the fact that that's incorporated in
this is as asinine that they werejust democrats got everything that they wanted and
Republicans didn't get a damn thing.Republicans did not get a single thing in
this, not a thing. Andwe haven't what one d and three Royce

(01:22:45):
says, this one hundred and thirteenbillion that we've spent to Ukraine, and
only forty five billion of that wentto quote unquote lethal aid. And so
this is another sixty billion and hesaid, there's going to be more requests,
including demands for rebuilding, and wehave to borrow that because we don't
have the money for it. Sothis is why you see inflation, It's

(01:23:06):
why you see incessant government spending,and they're so in the hole they they
feel like they have to raise ourtaxes on top of it. This is
just and it's their spending problem inaddition to all of this. So we're
borrowing to pay for a foreign conflictin which we have no skin. And

(01:23:29):
I reject all of the truly neoconarguments about long Russia. It was gonna
blah blah blah Russia. I justI'm know they're ignoring our biggest geopolitical threat,
China, in favor of trying totell us that Russian imperialist fantasies are
somehow big. Again. A coupleof things too, because we were talking
about ongoing throughout the show, theWorld War two argument that the right seemingly

(01:23:53):
bizarrely wants to have with itself,and we were fisking some of that talking
about, you know, the lastdays of imperiod Japan and how they were
attempting a there was an attempted coupbefore the surrender because they did not want
an unconditional surrender. In fact,there was like a there's a couple of

(01:24:14):
really great pieces on this. There'sa there's also getting into the lead up
of World War two, all ofJapan's atrocities. There was a book out
called Unbroken that's a good read.But there literally was an attempted coup where
they were trying to stop Japan's surrenderuh and it was called the Cayujo incident,
and they had members of their militaryand other members of their government that

(01:24:40):
they led a whole battalion to theImperial Palace and they were demanding that leadership
go. They were going to takeover. They were they wanted to continue
the war. There was no therewas no unified there was no consensus on
uncondition surrender. And this was evenafter Nagasaki Hiroshima. So when you hear

(01:25:03):
people say there's a fake Eisenhower quotethat's going out that I see people on
the right sharing like influencers on theright and they're trying to say, well,
Eisenhower and all these other military officialswere saying that they had surrendered before
the bombs. That is not that'sactually false you want to talk about false
flag stuff. There you go thatis absolutely historically illiterate and is demonstrably false.

(01:25:29):
And shame on some of these people, especially some of these thirsty ass
podcast hosts who rely on their entireproduction team to do their research so they
can go on social media and saythe dumb ass stuff that they say.
Shame on them for trying to getan audience and chasing engagement and chasing clicks,
these thirst traps with these dumb quotes. That's so false. You know
what? I hear all this stuffabout, Well, have you ever thought

(01:25:51):
that the American government might be lyingto you to cast this entergy as an
enemy? Have you ever once stoppedto think that maybe America's geopolitical foes are
telling you that America is lying toyou in order for you to cast further
aspersions on the character of your government, which granted, hasn't done much to
help itself in terms of respect andkeeping your high esteem. But have you

(01:26:12):
ever thought for one moment that maybeAmerica's geopolitical foes are trying to further widen
the divide between how Americans feel abouttheir government and whether they feel that their
republic is is just and can continueoperating, because I know that if I
was an opponent of the United States, I absolutely would be feeding that fire.
Have you ever stopped to think ofthat? No, it only goes

(01:26:33):
both ways or one way. Itdoesn't go both ways. And now all
of the news you would probably missit's time for Dana's quick five. So
well, a woman tried to boarda flight at a Memphis airport with fifty
six pounds of pot. According tonumerous reports in the Memphis Police it has
had a United Airlines flight Memphis InternationalAirport. They found fifty six pounds of

(01:26:59):
mayor Juana in her luggage. Shewas charged with possession of a controlled substance
with the intention to manufactured deliver acell. According to Shelby County jail records,
it's a felony offense, and she'sshe's posted five thousand dollars bond.
So I just can't. I mean, why why did you think that you
could take it to the airport.Apparently it was discovered she when they caught

(01:27:24):
her, her luggage busted open ona bag cart and her name was attached
to the bag. So she wassubsequently arrested because everything spilled out so that's
geez, oh my goodness. Ay, Fifteen people were injured in a Universal
Studios tram crash. The tram whileit was like a third little bus.
It was carrying tours through their backlot. It struck a guardrail and tossed

(01:27:47):
people from the vehicle on Saturday night. And yeah, they said it was
passing the Jurassic Park exhibit and itstruck this guardrail and it just tilted and
several passengers fell right out into theroad. Fifteen had to go to the
hospital from minor to moderate injuries.And they said it's not alcoholic drugs.
They're still investigating. I think itsounded like speed. It's not like people

(01:28:09):
are the driver was just going toofast. Pilots were suspended after they allowed
a passenger in the cockpit mid flight, and there's not a lot of information
yet about it. They were UnitedAirline pilots, but they led a Major
League Baseball coach apparently sit in thecaptain seat while the plane was flying.
Okay, I actually don't think thatthey should be doing that in midflight,

(01:28:30):
but I don't know the nature oftheir suspension. But at the same time,
maybe don't allow random p I mean, after it's landa. That's fine,
but while it's in the air,I mean, I don't know,
I feel like anybody could hit abutton, right, you never know.
Stick with us. Steven Yas isgoing to be joining us next. Whether
you're a policy walk, a newsjunkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful
discourse. That Dana Show podcast hasyour back. Follow Dana on Apple,

(01:28:54):
Spotify, or wherever you get yourpodcasts. Welcome back to the program,
Dana last year with you at thebottom of this third hour, and as
you know, you can listen coastto coast, you can listen terrestrially.
You can watch the simulcast of theradio program, and make sure you check
out substack, chapter and verse aswell. Okay, so we had this
the package that was pasted the Ukrainefunding, the Hamas funding I mean sorry,

(01:29:17):
the a that was in the Israelbill. And then we also had
the a little bit for Taiwan.We'll just throw a little bit their way
to shut some of the conservatives up. And that's going to be considered conservatives
getting what they wanted, which weall know we didn't on that and a
million other topics. I wanted tojust go right to our very good friend
Steve Yates, Senior Fellow to AmericaFirst Policy Institute, Chair of the China

(01:29:38):
Policy Initiative. He joined You canfind him on x X yes at Yates
Comms, and he joins us nowvia Skype. Stephen, so good to
see you as always. I justwanted to get your thoughts on the like
the breakdown real quick at the fundingof this aid package that passed, because
you know, we'll give a couplea few billions to Taiwan, but we're
gonna give like essentially, you know, the bulk of it, like three

(01:29:59):
quarters we're going to send over toUkraine. Then we're going to fund a
gaza, but not Hamas. Right, that's going to be wrapped up in
the Israel aid package because that's workedso well before, Hamas not getting their
hands on it. Correct. Well, there's a lot that I don't like
in this which I'm sure will comeas a shock to the audience. Number
One, all these things are reagreement. I mean, I know, well,

(01:30:20):
these things are supposed to be soimportant. So if you'd think that
when you're talking about billions of taxpayerdollars for a high national security priority,
that you would talk this stuff through, that you would have relative consensus.
Maybe these things are important enough totake up on their own merits, each
at a time, maybe to haveAmericans and their elected leaders focus on those

(01:30:42):
things. And it's a shame thatthey haven't had the time to do that,
because you know, we're already inlate April, and apparently these things
just snuck up on them to haveto ram it through with very limited debate
and review. I really really intenselydislike that process. My grandfather told me
not to use the word eight,but there's that process point on substance,

(01:31:03):
I just can't get off of theold rubs of when it comes to Europe
that you cannot just shovel more andmore American money and risk over in that
direction without Europeans stepping up. Andwhether it comes to Russia or China for
that matter, you can't be theSecretary of State going out there or the

(01:31:26):
President blabbering on about how we're deterringpeople and we're standing up for allies.
If our allies like Germany are notcutting back on their sweetheart deals and tech
transfer to this axis of evil,I mean, it's just sort of you
blow in one ear and out itcomes from the other, and there's just
nothing in between, no thought onthis. So it's just deeply, deeply

(01:31:48):
frustrating. When it comes to theattack on Israel, why is this hard?
I mean, either we have anally or we don't support the ally.
If the ally can afford to buymaterial, I'll sell it to them.
And when it comes to Taiwan's samedeal. We've talked about it over
and over. They'll buy what's theblockage in the system, where's the miralaxe

(01:32:10):
for arms to Taiwan? Get thatstuff going and talking with our good friend
Steven Yates, you know, speakingof Taiwan and the purchasing of weaponry.
So apparently Blinken is he's going tobe heading back to China. He's going
to talk with them. The waythat they present this in the media is
that Anthony Blinkoln is going to begoing to China to condemn them and wag

(01:32:30):
his finger at them, at themfinancing Russia's munitions, like apparently sending Moscow.
If they're not financing that, they'resending them missiles, drone components,
machine tools for missiles and drones,all of that. And he's trying to
convince them. I love this firstline. Curve the technical support for Russia's
military or else it's another don't moment, but this one's for China. Yeah,

(01:32:53):
and they're going to ignore every singleword he has to say, even
if they let him sit somewhere otherthan the kiddie table, which probably is
his destination while going over there,because the leader of Germany just met with
the Chinese leaders and undermined any notionthat, oh, you better stop this
or you're not going to be ableto continue business as usual with Europe.
I'd also really love it if wehad an American Secretary of State who had

(01:33:17):
as much of a heart for theAmericans who are dead due to China as
he does for Ukrainians who are deadby indirect support from China to Russia.
I mean, it's terrible what's happenedto the Ukrainian people. It should never
have happened. But how about lovingthose Americans first and going there. If
you're gonna wag the finger and threatento do something, how about one hundred

(01:33:39):
thousand dead a year in America beyour place to die. This whole idea
of sticking up for Ukraine waving inUkrainian flags on the house. All this
is just divorced from planting your rootsin America and protect our own people.
That's a great point. And it'sinteresting too that Germany and the United States,
despite the fact that you know,you would think that the ally ship

(01:34:00):
that we supposedly share that we wouldkind of be on the same page with
messaging to Chine, nobody bothered tocall and check. You know, I
guess when Germany's leaders, nobody fromour administration bothered to call them beforehand to
say, hey, let's just geton the same page. I mean,
teenagers do this when they're lying totheir parents about where they're going to be

(01:34:21):
the night before the last night,they're like, make sure we're all on
the same page. But countries can'teven do this when it comes to averting
conflict. Now, these are allkids who didn't do their own homework and
their privileged schools. They just goand they show up and they think other
people will take care of the details. Their virtue speaks for themselves, their
superiority speaks for itself. Bad guysaround the world are not impressed, and

(01:34:45):
neither should we. I mean,it's really a travesty there is a case
to be made on these kinds ofthings. We would like to think that
our elected and appointed leaders would giveit forcefully, like they care about our
country and results. But that's justnot what they're doing. That's actually one
of the underreported trends of this administrationthat they actually don't consult with allies,

(01:35:06):
They don't work on these things.They just sort of go out there and
led America to be the sharp endof the spear. And that might work
if we were the big, boldpower that everyone feared, But right now
they're just ignoring us with impunity,and China's criticizing, well, well,
China their foreign minister CCPs criticizing ourrole in the Israel Gaza conflict. The

(01:35:31):
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was reportedthis is ABC News criticized the United States
for blocking the UN resolutions calling fora ceasefire in Gaza after meeting with his
counterpart in Indonesia. Why are theyweighing in on this? I mean they
have like a whole camp of peoplein jiong Jiang. They have a like
a whole camp. Why are theywaiting in on this? Oh? I

(01:35:54):
mean just it's so it should beeasy to push back against this propaganda and
the manipulation information warfare. I mean, number one, there is no scenario
in this universe that China isn't doingjust as much to support the theocratic terrorists
supporting regime in Iran as it iswith Moscow and whatever's going on in Europe.

(01:36:15):
And so you can't really wave yourfinger in their face and have any
credibility on one account and not onthe other. And when it comes to
just this standing for picking on minoritiesand other kinds of things, I mean,
good grief. How about you justgo back to China and say you've

(01:36:36):
funded a mass casualty attack on Israel. When it comes to drones and sanctioned
busting, you're the number one inthe Middle East. How about you hold
my beer for right now on thisargument at the United Nations, because this
is just not your time, exactlynot their time. And I'm curious talking
with our good friend Steve and Yatesat Yates comes on X what their response,

(01:37:00):
how they're going to handle if thispasses the Senate. This this TikTok
ban that made it through, andthat was one of the things apparently that
was to again make the conservatives happyand this package of multi billion dollar aid
for an aid uh. The measurerequires byte Dance to sell which is the
parent company of TikTok, to sellTikTok, and apparently it requires their the

(01:37:20):
general Council of TikTok to step down. I mean, you laugh because you
don't think that's going to happen toyou. No, I laugh because the
whole argument that has been made inDC is that that TikTok is just like
every other social media platform and somehowcompelling them to separate from Chinese Communist Party

(01:37:41):
ownership and control several of their financialties from byte Dance is some kind of
a threat to the First Amendment inthe United States. I just have never
understood how a lot of my friendsbought into that line. When this attorney
has a foot on both shores.He's the attorney for byte Dance, he's
the attorney for TikTok Us, andthere's a whistleblower that's basically is that his

(01:38:03):
full time job was to shovel Americandata from one system into the other.
It really shouldn't be controversial that majormedia social media platforms in the United States
should be forced to divest from theCCP. I'd love it if the Disney
owned corporations had to account for noChinese money in their ownership structures too.

(01:38:25):
But this shouldn't be controversial in thisattorney having a foot on both shores.
It's just exhibit a about how it'sjust been a false claim that TikTok is
like everybody else. The others,as bad as they are on all kinds
of other ways, don't have thisownership and data sharing structure. Yeah,
I completely agreed. One last questionfor you, and this is a weird
one because it dell. I hesitateto ask you because in some respects it's

(01:38:50):
such a stupid argument and I cannotbelieve you probably know where I'm going.
How this is happening on the rightwhere we are getting into what is happening
to the right. We're getting intothis debate, not us, but certain
people. I get the engagement farming, maybe that's what it is. But
there was this debate that erupted overthe weekend, Stephen, where they were
arguing as to it people were organiststo whether or not we should have ever

(01:39:12):
dropped the atomic bomb in Japan asit wait his Steven Yates's face is a
gift just then your reaction whether ornot we should have done it, and
how evil it was. Now correctme if I'm wrong, Because I've always
been really into World War two.I'm very familiar with what Japan did in
the two decades prior to World War, Prior to Pearl Harbor. I'm very

(01:39:32):
familiar with their gobbling up resources andtheir conflicts with China and the Philippines and
all around Asia. I'm also veryfamiliar with the coup. This is the
post bomb coup Na Kasaki and Hiroshima, where they apparently half the government didn't
want to peacefully, so they didn'twant to surrender unconditionally, and so there
wasn't even a consensus in their government. And first and then they had cut

(01:39:56):
to go, which was their wholeop if there was any kind of invasion.
I mean, they were ready togo until the last man, woman,
or child. There was no waythis was going to end peacefully.
It seems like you're weighing and war. You have to just look at the
numbers, several hundred thousand versus manymillions more of people, including many American
servicemen. You you and I agree, I think pretty much on everything.

(01:40:19):
How do you wait, what didyou make of this whole debate? Why
are we having this debate on theright right now? It seems like a
si op planted by China. Well, first and foremost, it is quite
possibly the dumbest, most revisionist thingI have ever heard from people who claim
to be speaking from history or knowledgeof military or just plain old common sense.

(01:40:44):
It is the last thing in theworld. And even if you wanted
to hold onto this fantastical revisionist notion, what's your prescription? You want the
United States to disarm from this becauseguess what the memo is out The bad
guys of the world already have orare pursuing vigorously this kind of deterrent and
weapon. So do you want tolive in a world where only evil people

(01:41:09):
have this ultimate deterrent capability? Doyou want to try to negotiate? Look
how bad we are negotiating now whenwe have a lot of this capability and
we haven't been modernizing it, butthere's still the threat of something truly awful.
My grandfather fought on the Pacific multipletours. My knowledge of the theater
is not just limited to his personalexperience, But it's just astonishing how people

(01:41:33):
will willfully remove themselves from the circumstancesand realities of the time, and how
it's so easy and casual to sitback and say, oh, we had
tons of other options, because youdidn't live through rationing, you didn't live
through the need for mobilization, youdidn't live through with the terror of access

(01:41:54):
powers gobbling up large chunks of theplanet. Was like, you didn't live
with what it took to overtake fortifyto islands. And so it's easy for
you to say, oh, mymath is superior. We would have only
had x thousand soldiers dead if wewould attack the Japanese mainland at the time.
But it's just an empirical fact.Those two bombs brought an end to

(01:42:14):
a multi year war. And asmany dear friends I have in Japan now,
and they truly are friends, theydeserve to be treated normally. They
are not the generation of World Wartwo. But that generation of World War
two did some catastrophically anti humane things. These were not normal enemy combatants.
They tortured people, they cannibalized people, They did truly awful, awful things.

(01:42:39):
And that kind of a totalitarian mentalitydoesn't surrender unless it has met with
something that is the end of them, and that's what the bombs were.
And it's terrible that people had todie, but it was terrible that we
had to have World War two.Amen to that. I don't think anybody
could have put it better. StephenYates at yates Coms on Twitter, all

(01:43:00):
my best, my friend. It'sso good to see you, and always
appreciate your time with us. Havea great week. Thank you, Dana,
taking you too. Follow Dana onApple, Spotify, or wherever you
get your podcasts, because knowledge isyour ultimate superpower. Welcome back to the
program, Dana Lash here with younow. A reminder, we're doing this

(01:43:20):
thing where we're taking the show forthe next two weeks. I don't know
if I'm going to be on airthe next day because I have federal jury
duty. I'm on call, andI literally don't know until the evening before
the next day whether or not Ihave to go in. So it's really
convenient for broadcasting. You know,when you work in broadcasting three hours a
day every day, so there's alot of stuff up in the air.

(01:43:42):
So when I know, you allwill know, and I'll send out for
those of you subscribers who get theshow prep in the mornings. I will
let you guys know, Well,it'll be me, or it may be
somebody else. And then I don'teven know how many days I'll be out
if I get called in, ifI have to call to report. So
I just, yeah, really goingto earn my what is it like eight
to eight dollars a day or somethinglike that. Yeah, won't even pay

(01:44:09):
for gas, but yeah, superexcited. Oh goodness. But in the
meantime I will there will be stuffstill coming out on the newsletter chapter verse
at substacks, so we'll just wegot to take it. Unfortunately, we
got to take it day by day. That's it's all I can do.
Best I got. I feel likea pawn stars me. Best I got
day by day. That's all wecan do. In the meantime, I

(01:44:30):
have to tell you really quickly beforewe get going. I saw somebody at
a restaurant over the weekend, twopeople that had their face masks on,
like giant face diapers, and Ididn't know that was still a thing.
And I don't know how like howare you drinking a mimosa? Sipping it?
Like pulling up your face masks drinkinga mimosa, and that kind of

(01:44:51):
showed me it wasn't necessarily about ahealth issue. I don't know. We'll
talk more about that tomorrow Today insstupidity, though before I totally steal it
from Steve because he has a veryMichael I was gonna watch his Ben Franklin
thing, and then he comes upand said this, and now I'm like,
that's what he was trying to promote. But he was asked on CNN
about the obvious and here's what hehad to say, got twelve to one.
If well, think I think thatI walk a little similar to him,

(01:45:14):
and the people that I've talked toand everybody that I have say he's
as sharp as attack. He's fine. We all have an issue with memories
as we get older, we forgetnames or something. He's overcome a stunner.
Oh my gosh, sometimes he might. But let's just say that his

(01:45:36):
his entire cabinet, including his vicepresident everything. So this to me is
I was gonna watch his Ben Franklinthing. Now I don't want too.
By the way, the Prime Ministerof Papua New Guinea told Biden he should
probably come and clean up the wreckagefrom World War Two, not even kidding.
I'll have that tomorrow as well.Have a great night.
