Trump Defunds PBS, Ilhan Omar SNAPS, & Shocking Job Numbers

Lowe's helps refresh your garden in time for Mother's Day. Right now, get five bags of one and a half cubic foot Scotts Nature Scapes mulch for just $10. Plus, select one and a half gallon annuals hanging baskets make the perfect gift.

Now two for only $15. The best garden starts with great deals. Lowe's, we help you save. Valid through 5'7, selection varies by location. While supplies last, discount taken at time of purchase.

As I look at this initially, the one thing that really jumps out to me that I love: transportation and warehousing. Those are the jobs that were supposed to be hit. Right? Yeah. Up 29,000.

The prior three months was up 2,000, up 18,000, up 17,000. An acceleration in those types of jobs that were supposed to be the ones that were hit.

So maybe some of this manufacturing, some of these deals that the White House has announced, maybe we're starting to see that already play out. I know that we saw earlier in the week Elon Musk needing another thousand workers, Taiwan Semiconductor starting their third opening third plant in Arizona.

So this is phenomenal. Goods producing was a positive job number. This is just, it just proves that we have an economy that all the experts continue to To underestimate, and I think they're looking through a prism of political hatred, for lack of a better term, rather than being logical about the greatest economy in the world. There are reasons countries want to come here, there's a reason people buy our treasuries, there's a reason the dollar is the world's reserve currency. And the notion that they can flip a switch and find a replacement for America is nuts, and yet that's been the Wall Street narrative all along.

That's right, because the media can't get out of its Trump derangement syndrome and just well. And and I don't know. I mean, even if it's hard to even understand when you look at jobs numbers, what the hell's happening? Because the media, if you're reading the media, because the way the media puts it, We're all dying a horrible death, and that's just kind of the way it is. And it's because to Trump.

I mean, you can't get a fair shake, and people wonder why no one trusts the rat bastard press because you can't get a fair shake from any of them. If you look at any of the headlines, It's oh my gosh, the jobs are horrible. And then they're more upset over stupid NPR than they are of anything else. They're livid over that. They're livid over it.

They don't understand the relationship between incessant government spending. And The economy and jobs. They just, they don't get it. These people are just. I don't know if they just they don't it's 'cause they're communists.

Either that or they just want to be willfully stupid. It's one of the two. And it's frustrating because it's all of our tax dollars. It's frustrating because we're the ones who have to foot the bill for all of this stuff. I don't know.

We got a lot of stuff to hit today. And just to get you set up for the weekend, welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you are at the top of this first hour, and that's the top thing today. We have jobs, we have another executive order. And I know I sound like a broken record.

Uh and I don't care. When I talk about How Republicans in the House have to do something because, look, we've got another. Uh we have another uh EO that came out, an executive order that came out. And this was the this is the executive order. He s POTUS says it's about uh biased media With regards to NPR, And the government the the subsidizi the subsidation of it And he was saying that uh You know, they, why, I agree, I completely agree.

Why the hell? Do taxpayers why do we have to fund any of this stuff? Why do we have to fund a single bit of it? And I keep seeing these media people go, oh, well, I learned, like Jake Tapper was like, well, I learned to read because. You know, of Sesame, it was he say Sesame Street.

He learned to read because it's Sesame Street or something like that. Sesame Street isn't even owned, by the way, by a PBS anymore. They sold that. They're not even owned by PBS anymore. It's just, it's asinine.

They don't even understand this stuff. And also, you know, if they cared so damn much about it, why can't they write? A check for it themselves. Why is it always our responsibility to do it? You know, that's just real rich.

The left. Isn't it? Super rich. It's cheap sentiment. I hate cheap sentiment.

I hate cheap sentiment more than anything else in the world. It's lazy and it's callous. And I hate it. Especially with this because these people make a big deal about oh, you've got to support public broadcasting. You've got to support it.

Oh my gosh, look at all these all these Muppets are going to be out of work. If you're not If you don't support this, all these Muppets. What are they going to do? What's Big Burger going to?

Well, they don't own him anymore.

So, you know, there you go. They don't even own him anymore. But the thing is, write a check. Write write a check? if you care so damn much about it.

Headline after headline.

So Let me just show you here. I hate following the legacy press. I hate starting off my Friday by following these Should I I'm not going to use my get out of jail free card with the EFCC on this, but. You get the sentiment. Let's see, Trump, Tyrant Trump ending federal funding for NPR and PBS.

Um yeah, yeah, yeah. But my favorite is Uh I well, I saw a couple. One of them had one of them was saying tyranny. Um Uh Trump. Trump expanding propaganda, ending public funding for PBS.

Okay. Explain to me how, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. It's fright. Is it too early to day drink to under to get with these people?

Good night. The other one, the executive orderable.

Some of them are, I will say, some of them, like AP, had a pretty benign. But everybody else is just garbage. Oh, Trump is ending federal funding to NPR and PBS. And there are all of these ancillary stories. You know, how many children have been benefited by NPR and PBS?

First off, if your kids only learn how to read from PBS and NPR and all this stuff, you're a crap parent. You're a glorified welfare parent that expects Uncle Sam to raise your child. Shame on you. Gets sterilized.

Well, I mean it. I'm tired of this.

So. Oh. It's asinine, but they're like, oh my gosh, Trump's a. Did you guys know that it's propaganda to end public funding for? Government media.

Let that one sink in. The same, by the way, these are the same people who were like, no, that Hunter Biden laptop story. It's just not. It's just not important. It's not important and it's it's just your it's Mm.

Gosh. It's just a local story, local crime story. That's what they said.

Sold on that's how they put it.

So I'm happy to see this because I don't want my tech. You know, I actually stopped, and like I said, Sesame Street's not even owned by them anymore, but I remember when I was in college. And they had who was that? That old lady doctor who talked about sex all the time, Ruth.

Something I keep wanting to say Ruth Better Ginsburg, but that's a SCOTUS judge. She's dead, too. It's Dr. Ruth. It's Dr.

Ruth. Why is someone name her? I can't remember her last name. Anyway. She was literally on Sesame Street one day.

I remember I was in college and I had no idea, I was like flipping through channels after school one day. And I saw her on Sesame Street and I'm like, that's the sex lady. Why is she on Sesame Street? You can Google it. She's on.

She's been on a ton of times. Can anybody explain to me why? Like, what was the purpose of It's that's what I'm saying. Like, they and I get it, they would have celebrity guests and stuff, but I that's the first time I went, wait a minute, why is this lady on? I mean, I get it that she's famous, but famous for what?

And why is she on a kids' show?

Okay, Groomer, alright. I just, you know, it's kinda weird. But I don't see the point of it. If they love it so damn much, then all of you rich leftists out there. Get off your fat, slovenly backsides, and write your own damn check.

I'm tired of the cheap stuff. These people don't care about NPR and PBS. You know what? That's just nothing but a bumper sticker to them. These morons don't care about any of this stuff.

And if they, because if they did, they would donate to it. Do you, if you see a cause that you like, what do you do? You donate to it. You would donate freely of your own free will, correct? your own volition, you would write the check, you would donate.

You see the little red kettle, the Salvation Army for Christmas? What do you do? You put money in the kettle of your own free will, your own volition. You do it yourself. You don't wait for someone to force you and everybody else to put a paltry amount.

That's the leftist idea of charity. The least we can do for you. Through the ineffective arm of the government. That's what we're going to do, the least. And they call it caring.

They act like that's caring. Oh, we care about public welfare. No, you guys don't. They absolutely do not. You know, like the left actually spends the least on this kind of charitable stuff, by the way.

They love funding, you know, street activism and, you know, burn loot murder and all that. Oh, they love that all day long. They've actually done studies on this. We've talked about this on there before when said studies came out. But Yeah.

The, it's actually Christians that donate more than anybody, by the way, just FYI. But I digress. The The act of writing one's own check and sending an extra check to the Treasury. Clearly, they understand how to do this. They just don't want to.

Because it's not the same. They think that it's charitable to force everybody to part with your hard-earned tax dollars. To send to this stuff, actually, Masterpiece Theater is the only thing I like.

Now, I'm going to tell you something, I'm a big kid. Yeah? Make my own decisions, live my own life. And I wanted that 'cause I don't ever watch, I hardly ever watch cable. And I there was one series that I wanted to watch and it's the master is a masterpiece thing.

And that's on public broadcasting, right? PBS masterpiece. I will pay twelve dollars. For a season pass for a series, I don't mind paying that if I want to watch it and it's good content.

Now, why can't they do that? Oh no, everyone has to fund it. By the way, if they're getting that much m you know, much in tax dollars, why'd I have to buy Damn Season Pass on a streaming service in order to watch it? But that's a whole other gripe that I have. They don't answer your emails when you ask them.

I mean politely by my terms. They don't answer emails on it. They can do this themselves. This has always been the problem with the communist left, though. Communists are always like this.

Oh, it's so and I think Thatcher had a quote something to that extent. It's always easy to be generous with other people's money. And that's exactly what this is. They want to be generous, just not with their money. They want to be generous with your money, because they want to spend their money on things like George Soros and his Tides Foundation and far left activist DAs.

That's what they want to spend their money on. They'll leave this stuff. They'll just browbeat you all into spending money on this.

Now, the thing that makes me the angriest about this. about the reaction to it. is that the Republicans in Congress don't have a reaction to it. What are they doing to codify any of this? There is not a single thing that they're debating on the floor right now.

About codifying any of these executive orders in place, you know what that means. We lose in 2028, guess what? You may have like a Gavin Newsom who will undo every single one of these. In fact, it's not even guaranteed that if you get another Republican president, they won't undo these just as easy with a pin. That's not legislating.

And I get it that it's all he can do right now because you have these do-nothing Republicans in Congress. I get it. But that's not legislating. That's just signing an executive order and using the nominal authority that you have in that instance to do it. That's all it is.

I we need to see some action. They got together for a group photo yesterday. The House Republicans, and I was really trying to be on my best behavior by not commenting on it publicly.

So I feel like I need to get I feel like I need backpats. I need some kind of positive. I don't respond to criticism. Positive reinforcement is my only motivator. And I just, I feel, I feel really good about myself because I didn't shred them.

Like they deserve, because I don't care about your stupid class photos. Get thine backsides on the floor and get something done. Otherwise, all of this is for naught. The clock is ticking. It's ticking.

It is ticking. We don't have a lot of time. We really don't. Because now they're going to start, they're already starting with the midterm process. My gosh, you already see they're already pushing 2028 stuff.

So, we don't have a lot of time. And all of these tricky Republicans that have been dragging their feet this whole time. What do you think is going to happen the closer that we get to fall and people start filing and getting ready for these midterm elections? Do you think that they're going to be more amenable to come to the conservative constitutionalist perspective if they won't now? when they're a little far removed from an election.

How do you think it's going to work when we're in the middle of an election cycle? And these people who at the safest moment could not bring themselves, they could not be prevailed upon to pass any legislation on this. Do you think it's gonna get easier? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you. It's frustrating.

It's incredibly frustrating. I don't know. We got a lot more on the way.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I read some kind of article that said that all the horses that are racing, like in the Derby and that, they all are basically have some form of secretariat lineage.

That's amazing. The Kentucky Derby, the 151st running of the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby, they. I don't even understand what the point of this story is. Was there a horse called Journalism? That's the top choice.

That poor horse. Why'd you give that horse that name? Why'd you give that their horse is too pretty for that? But apparently, that horse is the, I watch for the hats. I really don't care.

I don't. I just, I love the pageantry of it and I love the hats. You're not doing the derby right if you don't got your mint julep. I love that Minjula. I mean, I love looking at the horses, but I'm not watching the horse races.

I'm like, oh my gosh, the colors are so pretty. And I'm looking at all that. I love it. I do love that. But Kentucky Derby, American is get out.

So that's pretty cool.

So the horse journalism, that's going to be the horse that's tipped. That's the favor. Steve says he likes American Promise.

Now that's a great horse name. How do you name a horse like this? How do you name one of these horses? They're all like fancy, meaningful names. The next one will be no Name.

Oh my gosh, stop. We're not going to do No Name. I mean that. The tariffs, Apple results, top Wall Street estimates as iPhone sales rise. They've already moved so much of their stuff to India.

And elsewhere out of China, they really have moved a lot out of China. I think they don't get enough credit for that. You know, I'm just saying. But so far, I guess, you know, I thought those tears are supposed to kill all that stuff. Guess not.

Although they were exempt, porn phones and some of the other stuff things are exempt. McDonald's U.S. sales are in decline and is shaking economy. Kane says they should start using beef tallow again. That's kind of crazy if McDonald's sales are down.

Like in a tough economy, usually those are the things that stay pretty like even. Yeah, they stay pretty reliable. There, let's see. Oh, California. Most Californians, according to a new poll from Newsweek, they want more guns in schools to protect their kids.

They didn't teach me how to read at all though. They were on PBS. I just thought the song was catchy and it sounded like it was written by a long-haired barefoot hippie. And it was. Tall was tall teeth.

Was Texas teeth? Tall teeth. He's got tall teeth. I remember that. Yeah, I letter people, it was entertaining, but they didn't teach me how to read.

First off, welcome back. We're in a weird mood. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of this first hour and we're talking about the funding, the PBS stuff, and how they're trying to, you know, the POTUS has this executive order. Congress is going to sit here and twiddle their thumbs and not do anything.

And then it's all going to, we're only getting a reprieve from this because Congress isn't doing anything to codify it. But uh I didn't, I was a latch key kid, like the quintessential. Gen Xer. And these shows didn't teach me nothing. Although the stereotypes are true.

And Kane, you can attest to this. You know, we know how to get blood out of clothes. We grew up drinking hose water. We were filled with neglect. And yet we were still happy and, you know, pretty much thriving, you know, for the most part.

Yeah, because we didn't know better. We knew how to make our own meals by like nine years old. Like, we knew how to do all this. You could throw us out in the middle of nowhere and we'd survive. I think by seven.

I think I knew how to make a full meal by seven. Yeah. Like you would, you would run around the neighborhood all day during the summer and just basically hope that some neighbor gives you a sandwich. Like one of your friends' families would give you a sandwich. My favorite thing in the world, there's this one family, one of my friends, their family was, our family was kind of broke.

I mean, kind of, we were poor kids. But we had a friend that was, you know, pretty well off, right? I mean, you know, upper middle class. They weren't, it wasn't like dynasty or nothing, but you know, they were pretty well off. But man, their mom would go, when she would come back from the grocery store, it was like Christmas for us.

We're like, what? And she would have like all this lunch meat and then all the potato chips. I've never seen anybody buy like five bags of potato chips at the store. They had two kids. And I mean, it was good eating.

It was good eating then. Not that we were poor. I don't want to say like we were like whole.

Well, I mean, when I was a kid, we were, yeah. When I was a teenager, it got a little better. There was like a lunch meat boom in the 80s. Like, all the families enjoyed the old lunch meat. Lunchables and hot pockets.

I think I'm partially made of them. And that's how we used to categorize our friends, like based on what their moms would give us. Dude, right. Isn't that right? That is absolutely crazy.

Some moms would be like, sure, you can have Kool-Aid. And some moms are like, there's too much sugar in that. Oh my gosh, the moms that made you drink just like fruit flavored water. That was abusive. You know, that right there, that's abusive.

Should have called Division of Family Services on you ladies because that was mean. It's like you're dreaming, and you don't want to be rude, and you're sipping it like Tom's. Tom's mom has Doritos. Oh, man.

So great. And the ones, the families that just let you take the bag, and you would run around the house or whatever with your friends. There's a special place in heaven for them, moms.

So, yeah, that's it just, I never learned how to read anything from these shows. But all of the leftists are like, There's gonna be just an epidemic of stupid children.

Well, they're already good. It's already happening. You're already first off. That's already happening. Have you seen our test scores?

Could all Randy Weingarten's up there getting hers and then screwed him, kids. That's how she looks at it. But only that, they're going to be able to sit here and tell you all the made-up genders, but they can't do math.

So yeah, we were already struggling academically. Especially compared to some other countries, because our educational system is just insane, and we punish really good educators and we reward the frauds. And not on top of it, then you have the frauds that are like, we need to teach people about our gay sex when they're in second grade. Let's do it. That's not educational, it's brainwashing, so no wonder these people don't care about these kids.

I also think too. And I don't know why this fascinates me. It's very I think it's very nostalgic. compared to day's kid shows. To The kids' shows of your.

Right? I showed my kids one day, this is some years ago. uh Bugs Bunny, like old Bugs Bunny, Warner Brothers, right? and they were shocked. They were shocked.

I forced them to watch it. I was like, this is good. We're watching Warner Brothers today. I mean, that's how I was that meme. The violence.

Yeah, I was like, no, I'm going to desensitize you to this programming, this societal programming.

So they watched it, and they ended up loving it. I learned, I will say. It wasn't PBS that got me into like classical music and all of that. Not like I'm into it, into it, but I enjoy it. Uh it was Bugs Bunny.

It killed a rabbit. Got me into Wagner. Killed a rabbit. That's the PBS didn't do that. I learned about all that from Bugs Bunny.

I learned every bit of that from Bugs Bunny. I learned about geology as an adult from Minecraft.

So, psh. I didn't learn, we didn't learn nothing from PBS or NPR. These people are lying to you, parents. They're lying to you. Line your face.

You know what you get now on PBS? That bald, whiny kid. Caillou I'm just a kid who's four each day. I hate that kid. That kid made me believe in abortion.

I have never, I'm joking, not nut, but for him. Take that back. I will not. I believe he should be aborted. Take that back.

Abort Caillou, do the world a favor. That Canadian winer, it's like a bald Justin Trudeau up there. Hate him. Hate him to death. Oh my gosh, that shit was going on.

Everyone, happy Friday, everyone.

Well, you all, you all. What you think there are people out there in the audience that love Caillou? All you people watching and listening all across the nation, y'all hate that kid. I know it. But they don't let animation change their stance on abortion.

I just said for him. Like I don't want him to exist. Like post-birth. I'll I'll get it give into a little post-birth abortion just for the sake of Caillou.

Some might call it murder.

Now we're going to borrow Democrats. It's not murder if I say it's not murder, you know. Can't stand kind of a message. substantive conversation about why it's also Dumb. Because how many stations across the country exist without a dime of federal money?

They actually have a business model that allows them to exist. What is that, say, government status?

So over 15,000 radio stations across the country, over 2,500 broadcast TV stations across the country, they all have to operate without a dime of federal money. Maybe during election season is about as close as they get to federal money.

So I I don't understand how people can conflate the two ideas where just taking away federal money doesn't mean that they can't operate as a business. They can do that if they want to. I don't understand why. What? What am I getting?

What? I don't get it. I don't think they know how to sell anything. Of course, you know, it's all. Maybe get better some better programming.

I don't know. Julia Child had a program on there in the days of yore. You can see some of it on YouTube. I mean, if you want to support it, support it. I don't care.

But not with don't force everybody to do it with our tax dollars. And it's all community driven, which all any successful radio station is mostly focused on the community. Right. I mean, my big thing is the way that I see These, um, all I mean, I've seen a number of people on the left, and like, I'm not talking about Randos, I mean, you know. Uh these are people who are on who are cable news commentators or editorialists, and they act like This is a Uh a formative Building block.

for children. I think that they have They have an outsized description. Of the role that public broadcasting plays in the lives of people, particularly children. With us because every, I mean, I have a million headlines here. Where they're all acting like our kids are going to be dumb and not able to read and can't do math, and everything's going to go to hell.

Because So today. Yeah, because uh we're not gonna be funding this stuff. And we all know that that's ridiculous. But are there people who believe this? I mean, I just.

I argue it's because we funded this stuff. Yeah. It's why all of our kids are so dumb. I mean, ma'am, our kids aren't dumb. You know, maybe theirs are, but yeah.

Right. But statistically, as we see now, we have a good like we're talking above fifty percent that cannot read at eighth grade levels. And it got worse over when everything got locked down. That's when Randy Weingarten and her surrogates just wanted to be able to. Uh have a vacation.

Man, that thunder.

So, by the way, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. It is Storm and Norman here in Texas. Oh boy.

So, again, I'm just going to warn you. If The power goes out. We're going to be here in the dark. But we'll power through. Our generator will kick in.

We'll power through. But there is a chance, it's always a 50% chance that thunder is crazy out there. It's dark. I do suspect maybe a tornado, Kane. It could be.

If a nadir blows in here, you know. I'm just saying. Just saying, all right, a couple of other things I want to hit. Uh, because we have the. I mean, I have a lot on the budget.

Do you guys want to break from the budget? You want me to keep going with the budget? Because I got a lot. They're. Also, I mean they're looking at slashing, let's see.

The way that it's NBC, oh, he's slashing everything, but growing the military. Kilhoa.

Well, the Constitution actually only allows for military funding, if you want to be really pesky about it. They allow for nominal amounts of public funding for things like. Like maybe arts, things like an Article 1, Section 8, where they get into essentially about preserving American culture ultimately, is what it goes down to.

So there's different, you know, to create like an arts endowment, things of that nature. They, there's, um, There is some A nominal federal support for that. But that's all going towards preserving American culture. Not like we're going to fund all of this extra pork nonsense. But I mean, yeah, I mean.

I don't believe that military spending, and we talked about this yesterday. We had, you know, our Secretary of the Army and General George, Chief of the Army, they were on the program. talking about the major cuts that they were going to be making and how they're going to allocate Reallocate these resources to the future of drone warfare. Drone warfare is where it's at. We're going to get to the point where we don't have human resources necessarily on the ground.

The human resources are going to be running. We're going to have AI that are going to be rolling out all of our strategy, and we're going to have people just implementing that. And we're gonna have like unmanned, you know, aerial assault thingies. That's the official term. I don't know if you know that.

It's uh U A T unmanned aerial U A A T Unmanned Aerial Assault Thingies. It's the official military term. You heard it here first. Uh it's a scoop for you guys. 'Cause uh you we're special.

But yeah, you know, and we're going to be using those instead. I mean, drone swarms are crazy, and you can really do a carry out a war of attrition with something like that while preserving your human resources. And we were kind of behind it.

Now, I had a headline that I think I sent this out. in your prep. Let me make sure. Uh for those of you get that get the prep email. I I had an uh a link in there.

Okay, yeah. Navy prioritizing the Middle East.

Meanwhile, China encircles Taiwan. This is less about. Getting involved for the sake of Taiwan. We have a treaty with Taiwan. Uh But I think this also is China.

continues to build. in an aggressive manner. its presence in the Pacific. particularly in the South Seas and then extending beyond that. And I j I I just feel like we have such a focus on the Middle East.

that we're not watching this directly to our back, so to speak. And I hope that at some point when we start getting a little bit more technologically. Current with our military programs, et cetera, that we can remedy this. Uh, because this is, it's just there, they're it's it's concerning, especially after they now try to claim that one uh coral reef out there and act like it was a Chinese landmass. Therefore, all the water going to that little that little coral reef way out in the middle of the ocean is there, is their waters, and it's no longer international waters.

Mm. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Congresswoman Omar, I'm Miles Morrell with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Do you think more of your Democratic colleagues should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Openigo Garcia? I think you should f off.

Yeah, that's it. I'm sorry, what? Congresswoman? Who should? You.

Why me? I'm not taking any of my questions right now, but here you go. Yeah, thanks. How classy. I mean, we talked a little bit about this yesterday, but what gets me is, remember all the times if anyone is rude to a member of the press, the press would freak out?

If anybody, if a Republican Was rude to a member of the press. The press freaks out. But on something like this, no. Even though Daily Caller is a legit entity, Daily Caller News Foundation, particularly. There's no objections to this.

Do they think it makes them look tougher because they can say curse words? You know, I mean, you can teach a parrot to say a curse word. I mean, I've watched the videos on Instagram, and in fact, those are the only videos now that Instagram shows me. It's not me, it's the system, it has a problem. But my point is that They love the sanctity of the press.

when it suits them. And they love asking questions when it suits them. If that had reverse the rules, what if that was a Republican lawmaker? And it was a left-leaning reporter. And I don't even know the politics of that reporter.

You might say, well, it's Daily Caller, so go figure it. But that Daily Caller doesn't necessarily hire. Conservatives. There have been a number of people that have worked there that are like on CNN and MSNBC now. They just hire people that want to.

Get out the story more than they want to get out their name, right? Does that make sense? And so, if this, the rules had been reversed, can you imagine? The reaction? These are the same people that are up in arms over some of the new media being invited to the White House press room, which I don't have a problem with.

Just don't ask stupid questions. You know, ask something decent. But I don't know. Maybe there's problems at home with brother. I don't know.

Maybe she's just having some brother problems, you know. Has he been a husband? Yeah, I mean, can I ask a question? I mean, for real, I'm just curious.

So, when she married her brother, How? Did how did that how did the family sit at the wedding? Like, how does that work? Because you know, you got the bride's family on one side and the groom's family on the other side, but when you're siblings, how I mean, how do you divide that up? And that's like not just for like, you know, Christian wedding ceremonies.

I mean, there are other religious wedding ceremonies where they have seating like that. I'm just curious. Based on religion, it's probably on the left side women, right side men. Oh, you think that they just divided it by men and women? Probably.

I mean, 'cause they're all family, you know. I mean, who pays for the who pays for what then? If you're a sibling, Like who pays for the reception? USAID. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe your campaign money. Because she did get in trouble for that at one point, using campaign money to spend. Especially at a pay big go, fatty fat, fine. You guys remember that. Oh yeah, I'm just saying.

So we've got a number of things coming up, including the, they call it the far-right party. The EU is such scum. They're trying to identify, they're saying that the AFD, which is the right-leaning party in Germany, it's extreme right. Of course. They try to act like everything is Hitler.

That's the message that they're trying to send.

So, we're going to talk a little bit about that. Coming out because they're saying, oh, the AFG has been classified as extreme right. What does that mean? They don't want unfettered immigration. It's crazy, right?

They don't want a bunch of people coming in illegally. It's so crazy. How is that? How does that make them extreme right? Also.

There. I had a gross story two weeks ago. You guys might remember. A guy who raped a corpse on the New York subway. Kane, if you had a guess.

whether or not this feller was in the country. legally. What would your guess be? Not the corpse, but the guy who raped the corpse. Yeah, thank you for that clarification.

I would say that the person is probably not legal. Ding, ding, ding. How many times not legal, though? We're going to talk about that coming up as well. And then we got another, another little leak, drip, drip, in the Abreco-Garcia case.

Oh wide straight. That's true. Curtis giving a commencement address at Bama. Hey. That's a very friendly, very friendly venue down there.

University of Alabama Rural Tide. Welcome back to the program. Top of the second hour danash with you.

So, a heads up. Major storms in Texas, and we got, I mean, it is thunder. It sounds like World War III outside right now. We already had our generator kick on. I warned y'all this is going to happen, right?

Basically, we'll just because we lost power. Yeah, we're on. One of our UPS systems is activated.

So, yeah.

So, there is a chance. We could go dark. That's just on the camera.

So if that happens, We're going to transition the program to Goth Talk. Right? And we're gonna have like flameless candles, and it's gonna be all dark and spooky, and just, you know, just to go with the vibe. I feel like that's, you know, and you know, Cain. Two, and I got more.

I have more audio about from POTUS at Bama, and I'll play it, but I really want to get to the story because it fits. The like horror theme of the day with the storm outside, and it's all dark and spooky. Like this story for instance. Did you guys hear about the? I'm sure Democrats are going to be falling all over themselves to have Margarita photo ops.

Would this guy So, y'all remember the story. I'm not making this up. It is a real story. I tweeted it because someone's like, that's not real. It's totally real.

And I don't mean to under emphasize The Giant question mark of the corpse on the subway train, but it's a story about a corpse on the New York subway and an illegal immigrant who raped it. It's all it was caught on their CCTV footage. Yeah. It it was. And and it's that's it's gross.

It's super icky. Yeah, I get it. It's super ooh. Um this guy He's He uh raped this corpse on the Manhattan subway. for 30 minutes and it was all on CC TV.

He is an illegal immigrant who has illegally entered the United States at least five times. Felix Rojas. He's 44. He crossed the U.S.-Mexico border on several occasions. He was caught by Border Patrol once, and then he was turned back another time, according to ICE.

But he r he apparently crossed it one more time and he has remained in the United States undetected. Until He met the dead body of 37-year-old family man Jorge Gonzalez. who had passed away suddenly on the R train. Uh he apparently he was on there for a little bit. That corpse was on the New York subway for some time.

Now, I agree with you that. by itself is its own issue. How I I don't know if you've ever ridden the New York subway. I mean, it's not like the stench would be immediately identifiable because it's pretty nasty. But apparently he was slumped on a train bench on April 8th.

Surveillance footage first shows Rojas rifling through Gonzalez's pockets. He's robbing him. And then he comes back. Any Well, you know. You know what happened.

I don't need to say anything else. Imagine Pulp fiction, the basement scene. That's all you need to know. Bring out the GIMP.

So the It Well, I mean, I wanted to let people know what happened in case there were some questions. and it unfolded over the course of over thirty minutes. 30 minutes.

Now, Gonzalez, they believe, passed away from natural causes.

So Rojas faces charges of rape and grand larceny, and they finally did get him. and they are holding him without bail. And he has repeatedly crossed illegally. into the United States.

So now he's at uh He's at Rikers. He's being held at Rikers. Cyber, you know who else is being held at Rikers? Our good friend Carb and Mike. Dexter Taylor.

He's at Rikers, yeah. He's at Rikers with this guy. Because he was legally building his own firearm for his own personal enjoyment that he wasn't selling to anybody. Even though it's a federally protected thing, New York decided to change that law recently and not grandfather anything in and make a bunch of people felons and go out and they just hate him 'cause he's a black conservative firearm enthusiast.

So that's they think that that's as bad as this, apparently. I'm not even kidding you. How much you want to bet that this guy's going to get less of a sentence or less of a penalty than Dexter Taylor? I mean, I'd bet a lot of money on it if you're a betting type.

So He's a He's in Rikers. This I mean, that's Pretty stunning. And uh Yeah, it's pretty stunning. I feel so bad for that guy's family because Gonzalez, I mean, he was, Gonzalez is here legally. He came to this country legally.

He's a family man, hardworking family man. Natural causes, it just happened, you know. And his family has to find out that after he passed, this is what happened to him. Happened to his body.

So I I mean that's This is the I mean, yeah, so POTUS when he talks about the people who are repeatedly Entering and committing crimes. This is who he's talking about. I mean, this is just now, on top of this. There's an update. on the uh Obrego Garcia case.

You know, the Maryland man.

Now there's footage. It is very much a drip drip, is it not? Very much a drip drip with this case.

So There's body cam footage in Tennessee when they stopped him. It shows that troopers weren't able to do anything. This was during the 2022 encounter. And they had called ICE, Tennessee Highway Patrol. It pulled over.

Kilmar Obrego Garcia. Uh during this 2022 encounter. They didn't respond to go and get him, even though he didn't have any identifying information. He wasn't here legally, et cetera, et cetera. And the footage, I mean He's in, we told you about this.

He's driving the vehicle that was registered to a known human trafficker, right? Known human trafficker. And he's in the car with a ton of other people. And They're asking him, like, okay, what's with all these people? And his story keeps changing, and they have the footage of it.

And he was 20, and he was this was November 30th, 2022. Patrol stops him. It was a routine traffic stop. It was just like something routine that they stopped him for. And They were suspecting right off the start that this is an issue of human trafficking because it's a trafficking corridor.

And The you can hear in the officer's voice When they stop him and they ask him to show his license, and then the officer realizes that there are eight people in the car, all dudes. And he goes, Well, how many rows have you got in there? Oh, you got four seats? Listen to this: audio sound by 16. You can hear it.

that they realize something is up. While they're talking to him, listen. How dark are your windows? How dark's the back windows? Stand by.

How dark are they? The color. Yeah. From Texas, it's good. How many rolls have you got in here?

Four? Four seats? Four rows of things? Yeah, three three seats. Yeah, with with with me.

Did y'all put an extra one in? Huh? Did y'all put another one in? No. It comes like this, the truck.

I've never seen one with that many seats in it. Deliverable. What do you say? It's my boss. I said, I've never seen one with that many seats.

Oh, really? Yeah. That's why I was asking if you could put an extra man. No, it's the same. My deep.

Mm-hmm. Who's the guy with the motor to stay straightforward at his land is? You know what you got, right? You know what you got here, Red. No, no, no.

Yeah. He's hauling these people for money, is what he's doing. But sometimes they commingle dope and Mm. No. But he's just a guy squad without it.

There's eight people in there. Yeah, no. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah.

So he's getting paid to all the school probably to Maryland, I would say. Yeah. He said that, oh, my boss is in Texas, and we're going to St. Louis, and then I'm going onward to continue working, is what he said.

Now None of the men had luggage. and all of their addresses were the exact same as Obrego Garcia's. And The troopers noted that He tried to pretend to know less and less English. than he was capable of knowing? And in 2019, remember that's when you had the deportation order, and there were two different judges that concluded.

Based on tons of evidence, yeah, he's affiliated with MS-13. To say nothing, of the MS 13. branding that he had tattooed on his knuckles. Each of the symbols meant MS13, that's what it means. And you can hear me like, yeah, they were hauling these people for money.

They were in possession of $1,400 in cash. Uh he didn't have a valid license. And uh Despite this? Despite this despite the fact that the car was registered to a known human trafficker. despite the fact that he had an expired license.

They had to let him go. Ice would not I s rem this is under Obama Biden and Harris, remember. They notified Ice and Ice wouldn't come to pick them up. They couldn't. 'Cause Biden Harris.

Remember this? That's how this happened. That's how this happened. He was a human trafficker. And he was driving the vehicle of a known known to the FBI, known to l law enforcement in numerous states, a known human trafficker.

And also, that traffic route on the vehicle was affiliated with MS-13.

So They were still Not able. to take him in because Biden Harris They allowed that. Remember, you have these edicts. We're not going to listen to these detainers. We're not going to follow through on this.

Now, because they had to let him go, the left was like, well, see, that's. proof of his innocence.

So wait. You have the President at the time, Biden. Who issues these edicts? demanding that agencies and states not follow the immigration law and to refrain from enforcement. And as a result of that order, they can't enforce current law, and then you cite that as like proof of innocence?

That's a nice little manufactured excuse, is it not? This is this this is Everything, and that's even after the judge. He had two court cases where they said, Yes, he's MS-13. And then after that, he tried to petition for asylum again. He changed his story.

And then they said, oh, well, you really. You're a flight risk. And then he's like, oh my gosh.

So he married his baby mama. To try to boost his claim. That still didn't work. Just unbelievable. I don't even I don't even know what he's probably telling her and her family.

Because her family apparently aren't I think they're still in Mexico. And uh Who knows what he's telling her and her family to get her to. keep her mouth mostly shut. But this is just crazy. Crazy.

And also, so that was This was the year before was when he had the first petition for domestic violence filed on him.

So all of that and that would be on his record. But they can't do anything. No license. He already had a petition for PO on him. He's, you know, eight people that have no luggage, one of them can't speak, and he just looks forward like a zombie.

That's obviously shifty as all get out, and they couldn't do anything. 'Cause Biden it's the Biden administration.

So, this is stuff that they're dealing with. This is crazy. Absolutely insane. Coming up. Senate Democrats, they've decided, I think, on messaging going into midterms.

Wait until you hear what they've decided to settle on. We're going to get into that and more. As we move, our partners that bring you the program, our friends over at Keltech.

Well, today in Delco, which Steve gave us all a lesson on. You heard a hawk to a Now meet Hawk Pua. A crazy woman. How do I put this? She literally did a do on the hood of a car.

During a uh a little traffic, uh little minor traffic fender bender. Mountain Dew? Uh sure. Yeah, she-mountain dude all over the hood of that car. What?

Now that's gross, yes. And it's so there's horrible video of it, and we're getting ready to show you because it's Friday and of course. We're showing it? Yeah, we're doing it. Why?

Why? We're doing it live! Doing it live, Kane. Um I'm just more impressed that she could do it on command like this than I am anything else. They arrested the woman.

There was another video of her being arrested, but apparently it was in Delco, which Steve said is a very culturally significant part of Philly. And this woman, I guess she got rear-ended and then got out and rear-ended that car in a whole other way. She ended up being arrested, I think. that I don't even know what kind of legal violation that is, but Yeah, here she is good. Yeah, she does have a sickness.

That's right, girl. You do got to sickness. That's exactly correct. Oh my gosh. Let's see.

Also, a man is in critical condition after he plunged from the stands at a pirate game. What is happening? 21 feet. What? Oh, my gosh.

How do you do that? How do you fall out of the stands?

Well, that's what happened with this feller. They stopped the game in Pittsburgh. Players were obviously shocked. He's in critical condition, 25 or 20 feet. Fans and players alike were both horrified.

He was taken to the hospital where he remains in critical condition. And they said it was a terrible accident. But man alive, that's a two-story drop. Yeah, that's a major drop. A British woman, 115 years old, named the world's oldest person.

115. She was born in 1909. And she takes the record after a Brazilian nun. I don't know what her secret is. I bet it's like whiskey and something.

That's usually what they say. It's funny. Let's see. Mm-mm-mm. Oh, apparently, Hillary Baldwin.

Are they? I don't care. Are they going to get divorced? I don't care. Nobody cares about that fake Spanish tart.

Nobody cares about her and her murdering husband. I know. How do you say a cucumber? We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us.

Ah, can't tell. I think it's funny. He had a teleprompter, but he likes to go off it a lot. I mean, he talked about that yesterday. He's like, you can have, he's like, you can have more fun.

Audio Sound by 2. I think it's just funny that he had to explain this. Listen. That's not here. That's not here on the teleprompter.

Actually, most of what I've said tonight is not on the teleprompter. That's all right. Isn't it nice to have a president that doesn't need a teleprompter and can sort of and sort of have a little fun. Mm, there you go. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash.

With you, we're at the uh bottom of this. Second hour And we've been, I mean, he was making a joke about the trans stuff a little earlier. 'Cause you've had Maine that keeps pushing back against that. And uh it's pff pretty amazing that it's still I don't know that they're still trying to fight that when clearly they didn't get the message from the voters. I don't know if you, I'm going to change it up a little bit.

I don't know if you saw this. I don't like New York magazine. I think they're trash. I've never liked New York Magazine. I once argued with them or whoever ran their New York Magazine account at one point.

I always think it's funny when an actual newspaper tries to argue with someone using the newspaper account. But um I can't remember what they got mad at me about, but they got mad at me for something. Anyway. Uh they wrote a hit piece on John Futterman.

Now, normally I would say, oh, well, I don't really care about a Democrat, but he's like a Democrat that's not. Stupid, right? He's like common sense to the point where he's got the hoodie pass, right? He can wear his umbros and his hoodie. I'm okay.

I like how he trolls the anti-Semites. It's funny. But um they did this this this hit piece on him. And I got some well, I first off, I think it's in such bad taste that they did this. Um it's it's called John Fetterman's Struggle, and they're kind of hitting him on that.

point. They're saying that, oh, he's in good health, but staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew. Because he's starting to be what? More conservative? Are you kidding me?

I mean he had a stroke and became smarter. I don't know, but so they're hitting him because of that.

Now Can I read this? I'm going to read this short paragraph, and I want you to tell me. what you think of the origin. or speculate as to the origin of this hit piece. Ready?

Alright, here's what they say. Later, a still visibly upset Giselle, that's his wife, pulled the staffer aside. She asked him if members of Fetterman's team were pushing him to take these stances for political reasons. The staffer told her that the opposite was true. Many of them were as upset as she was.

Quote, If you're pushing back on this, there's no hope, the staffer recalled her saying. This is horrible news. A few days later, Giselle texted a different staffer, quote, I'm at my breaking point and I can't co-sign this any longer. I'd love some help in language to separate myself from this. Can anyone help me?

End quote. This does not sound real. Because If it was real. That would mean that she is a traitorous tart. and that she is undermining her husband.

Because she's putting Herself absorbed. uh navel gazing viewpoints ahead of his work and his purpose in serving taxpayers.

Now, I'm not saying it's real. I'm just saying that would be the case if it was real. Do you think it's real, Kane? On the surface, no, it doesn't sound real. Is it like a sta?

Did they name the source, by the way? They said they got it from a staffer or that they were whoever they had their source is, whoever it is, did the source give their name? Because this is A litmus test that most people should be thinking about when hearing stories like this. And they talk about unnamed sources, and sources say, but if they don't name who those sources are, It's literally Typically hit pieces.

Well, and I I think too Remember when he was running against Dr. Oz, and I was not a fan of Dr. Oz because he's a big gun control guy. Like a big time gun control guy, not a little time, like a big major gun control proponent. And that's my that was my reason why I didn't like him.

Um But during that time when they were running against each other, Everyone was saying. Fetterman's totally fine. How dare you question his mental acuity? He's recovering from a stroke. You're so ignorant to stroke victims, all this stuff.

It's true.

So did that change? I mean, he still had a stroke and he recovered from a stroke, and he's still a stroke victim. But because has that changed because they don't like what he's saying right now? It's D different. I mean He supports Israel against Hamas.

So that means that they they're trying to spread? Doubt about his mental fitness. That's so shady. And I hope that they're not trying to use his wife to do it. And I hope it's not his wife doing it.

I hope it's not a staffer. It sounds like it's a staffer. But they're trying to get you to believe that he's somehow impaired cognitively. Based on what? If they're trying to argue that support of Israel over Hamas is indicative of cognitive impairment.

You might be an intuition. Just saying.

Well, we talked about this before: how the Democrats are so Borg-like in their thinking that anybody that skirts, even a little bit, like Fetterman. This is what happens to them. Exactly. I 'Cause he's come a really long way. And you can tell, like he works in a normal Capitol Hill schedule now.

He keeps normal hours. He didn't at first when he came back. And You could even hear In his interviews, he was he was He had the ideas in his head, but he was struggling to articulate them and verbalize it. And now he's I mean he's really good. I mean you can see that there's still some Think not anything huge, but He's worked really, really hard.

And I you know I mean Federman I sat down for an interview with Joe Rogan. And I don't even think he uses captioning devices all the time like he used to. I think he's even like weaned off of that. These are the same people that defended Joe Biden when Joe Biden didn't even know where the hell he was. Oh, he's cognitively fine, but now they're going after John Futterman.

John Futterman knows where he is, he can do his job, but because He isn't crazy like the rest of them are, suddenly he's persona non grada. They were the ones who set that up, by the way. I had a friend of mine who said this is like what they did to Diane Feinstein in 28. Because Dianne Feinstein, they didn't think during the whole confirmation process for Brett Kavanaugh, if you remember, Dianne Feinstein was getting a lot of heat because. She um wasn't as hardcore.

Uh On his on him, and she could have done more with the Christine Blasey Ford stuff. Like when they went back and they started uh doing the post mortem, they tried to throw her under the bus for it. And now it's like they're trying to do this.

Now they're, oh, here you got the New Yorker. Oh, it looks like he's got a decline in his cognitive ability. Actually, it looks like he's gotten stronger. He seems more cognitively aware than most of the Democrats in Congress. I mean, if you hear Hank Johnson talk, I mean, my gosh, I question his cognitive ability just hearing him talk.

Are we sure Hank Johnson hasn't had a stroke? For cranel, most of these people do math like unrecovered stroke victims.

So they're just getting mad at Futterman. I mean, that's, but to sit here and act like, oh, well, his support of Israel is mean. It's just, it's just, this is crazy. Yeah, and as Steve notes, now they want to question cognitive ability. Oh, now they want to do it.

Uh I I I just It's insane. I didn't pay to read the article. It's behind a paywall. I went to removepaywall.com, by the way, and that's how I was able to strip all that out. And if that doesn't work, go to the Wayback Machine.

Because they usually do a snapshot of it on Paywalled, and you can read it there. Yeah, I don't like giving crap media any money. I don't give them any money. It's an undocumented access, is what it is, Kame. Matt, that's awesome.

Yeah, I'm just accessing I have undocumented access to their Sounds like a humane way to handle it. Exactly, yeah, for the people, right? Mm-hmm. That's exactly what it is. I mean, speaking of all of that, law and order, we're going to talk about this coming up.

I hate musicals, right? Golly, I hate musicals. My mom took me to cats when I was like 13 years old, and it ruined me for life. I have no idea. what that was about.

I told you this before, I think. It just is like a bunch of furries. And they sang some song. about memories and that's all I think all I remember. I thought it was about cats.

It's not? I I really don't know. Um it was weird and I to this day I have no idea what happened. And I just don't get it. And I it made me hate musicals forever.

She made me go see Wicked one time. I wanted to die. I wanted to launch myself off the balcony. I wanted to yeet myself into the floor below. I just didn't care.

I'm not into musicals. I'm not into all that stuff. And uh The uh Now you have a musical where they want to celebrate I'm not making this up, says New York Post. Luigi Mangione, they want to do a musical. About him.

That's kind of a pretty short musical, isn't it? I mean, he ran up and shot a dude in the back and ran away. I mean, what is there? Is it gonna be a song and dance? Is he gonna be like, woo!

with a gun and woo. Going up there to shoot this dude. I mean, how does that work? It's called Luigi the Musical.

Now, at first glance, I'm not going to lie, I thought this was like a Super Mario Brothers thing. And then I'm like, oh no, it's this guy. He's like ruining that name, right? And uh it's uh gonna be it's gonna debut in June. And they say they're going to be bold and unafraid.

About what he did to leave two kids without a dad.

Now the opening night is already sold out. What does that say about how stupid people are? The opening night is already sold out. Do we even know who the cast is? I don't think so.

Uh I I mean, there's some names I don't know.

Some like I know who these people are. I don't know who the theater kids are. I don't pay attention to that. I mean, to stay true to what the left has been doing with entertainment, they should probably find a black female to play that. Luigi lead.

Why do they do this? Like, I'm just waiting for the musical about Diddy. The Diddler, the story of Sean Diddy Combs, right? I'm just waiting for that. Um Is he going to make an appearance in it?

Is he going to come out with a dancing part? Who's going to play Diddy? They should get out. I mean, to to make to make it like truly uh Netflix, they should uh probably have like a blonde woman Yeah. I just What in the world?

So they said that it's going to be surprisingly thoughtful and funny and blah, blah, blah, and show tunes. And, you know, this is, and they said, Luigi is your new favorite felony. What? That's the tagline. As if you didn't hate musicals enough.

Felony or felon? Felony. They said the songwriter, Ariel Johnson. and the director, Nova Bradford. Said they drew inspiration from Chicago, the musical.

And they had a snippet that they had behind the scenes footage that they posted. And it it this song is horrible. One of the lines was, I'm not Kidding you, this is a line. Flash those pearly whites. There were cameras there that night.

and that's what let the police take me in. The guy named Johnny Stein is apparently playing Luigi Mangione. And that's a reference to him pulling down his balaclava to smile. at the uh New York youth hostel clerk, and that's how they were able to get a good look at him. This sounds like the dumbest it sounds like a high school musical project.

I mean, as if you didn't have enough reasons to hate musicals, jazz handed up. There's nothing about the story to glory, no matter what position you're on. There's nothing to glorify other than murder. Is that what people are doing? Apparently, I mean they love The left loves their murderers.

I don't know what to say. I mean, they literally had Earth Day earlier about a dude who composted his girlfriend. He loved the Earth so much, he murked his girlfriend, chopped her up. composter. He was just composting her for the planet, you know.

I'm trying to make this one make sense.

So this was in Port Charlotte. A Florida man, now let's just listen to this one sentence, listen to this first sentence. The Florida man known to throw cans of food and other items around a Florida neighborhood. as one would do. and at others, was arrested after a neighbor said he threw canned corn through her window and broke it.

Per the arrest affidavit. This happened on April 25th. A woman called Charlotte County Sheriff's Office to report vandalism. She said she was outside. She heard the sound of glass breaking.

She turned around and find one of her neighbors, 38-year-old. Earls Ernest Sandville, running from another neighbor's front yard back towards his home. Uh the left Front window was found broken at the top, like somebody threw something through the glass. The witness got a key from another neighbor in the neighborhood who watches the owner's house when she's away, went into the home to see what happened, and that's when they found a can of Del Monte corn. Inside.

The guy apparently is literally known in the area. He goes to the food banks, gets food, and then goes and throws it around at people and cars and houses. Because they need food? He has also thrown bottles of urine. and chunks of raw meat.

Yeah. That's good. Yeah, so they're pressing charges because they go, he's always just throwing things at people.

So, why is he like not? How long has this been going on? Apparently, a really long time.

So now they're actually going to finally do something and press charges against this guy. I mean, that's kind of crazy that it goes on that long. Come on. A Florida man frustrated with the McDonald's drive-thru just tried stealing the cash register.

Okay, well there's other things you can do to express your discontentment. But uh this one, Cape Coral. The guy tried to steal a cash drawer at the McD's because he was frustrated in the drive-thru. It was four in the morning. Police responded to a robbery in progress.

and they said he got into an argument with an employee, tried stealing the register and took off in his car. They caught up with him. Uh he was taken into custody. They also put his photo all over social media. Like what like Control thyself.

Florida man is arrested for having three wives in three different counties. Yeah, that is not an okay thing to do, feller. They say the women said that there weren't adequate safeguards to prevent it. I don't know, maybe being a little bit curious about what the hell he's doing when he's not with you. That's probably one safeguard, you know, just like your woman's innate suspicion.

Do you really need the government to go?

Well, since you Broads are too stupid to realize that he's got three wives and three counties, we're going to have to expand ourselves and make a law. Come on now. They're saying there's no safeguards. He took each one of us to a county to get married, said one of the wives. Uh they're looking I mean, I how does that happen?

How does something like that happen? Uh he m married uh apparently one of them within the same year, or two of them within the same year. And uh in 2022 And I just How would you not know? They met him they met him on a dating app. And uh I just don't understand how you wouldn't know.

He was arrested for felony bigamy. and uh after the first wife figured out that there were two others. That's kind of. ASC, birthday suit bandit, naked Florida man caught trying to break into a lady's home. And then I got another story.

I'll save this for you for Monday, but a Florida man is accused of touching realtors' feet. During open house showings, that's nasty. Go be nasty and a freak elsewhere. Stick with us. Third hour on the way.

So the president signed an executive order just this week threatening to defund sanctuary cities for their policies. Why not just arrest the leaders who are harboring and shielding illegal aliens, actually terrorists from deportation? Wait to see what's going on. Yeah, wait and see. We see what's coming.

I like Tom Holman. I wish he was like my uncle or something, or we were like related somehow. He reminds me of one of my late grandpas. Welcome back to the program. Top of this third hour, Dana Lash here with you.

You can listen coast to coast. Channel 347 is the stream. and uh X and YouTube, the chats at Rumble, all good things. Yeah, I um I Democrats are gonna fight all this tooth and nail. Tooth and nail.

Uh This um I mean, hopefully, we're, I mean, so far, I mean, it seems like we're getting a really good handle on the border and deportations. A lot of that is down to, you know, good Republican governors and some really good AGs in a number of different states. Doesn't help you got Democrats out there defending everybody from the dude who's in the El Salvador in prison and then the other guy who raped a corpse on the subway. That's going to be, they're going to be falling over trying to get margarita photos with that guy. It's about as dumb as this quote from uh Tim Waltz's daughter.

Oh, boy.

So, the daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz is on TikTok. And I don't know, I didn't even know there's a running influencer. I hate the word influencer. They're just people online.

So there's this lady that runs Uh her name is Kate Max. I know nothing about her. I used to run the mile and two mile when I was like in high school and college, and I have not ran for fun. I would only run if I'm like running from a killer. That's the only way I'm going to be running anymore.

I hate cardio. I just like heavyweights. Cardios is what you do in between sets. That's resting in between sets and getting your heart rate back at an optimal level.

So. I didn't I didn't even know there was this running influencer and they're mad People are mad at her. because she was at the White House. And she did like a little. A short interview with the White House press secretary.

So, what this lady does is she does interviews with famous people and then runs. while they do them. She did one with Tim Waltz before. But people are mad at her because she featured Caroline Levitt in one. And I guess that, and people were saying, that's disappointing.

We can't even believe that you did this, and it's so horrible. And why are you platforming this? And they were just going on and on and on. And I It was kind of wild to see this because she's interviewed, from what I understand, I had to look into it. She's interviewed Tim Waltz.

a number of Democrats, Hollywood celebrities, like actors in that. But nobody objected until she featured Caroline Levitt, right?

So Tim Waltz's daughter. blasted her for platforming Love it. And in her video she said she was disappointed. And that Uh because the administration's keeping people away. from joining the running community.

By not combating climate change. Change and cutting.

Social funds, federal social funds. This is what her quote is. Oh my gosh, should we just play it? I mean, this woman is is. She's not the brightest tool or brightest bulb in the box.

But she had said that you're sending people away without due process, villainizing minorities. I don't know what she's talking about. And she said, you're preventing people from getting into the running community. Like, what the hell does that even mean? No one's preventing it, you stupid half-brained snowflake.

No one's preventing anyone.

So, because she talked to Caroline Levitt. that's like somehow magically physically stopping people from going to run. What a stupid remark. And she said it's damaging to society. We shouldn't normalize these people.

Oh, heaven forbid you act like a grown-up and talk to people whose opinions you don't share. If you are so scared. Of your inability and intellectual vapidness that prevents you from articulating a defense of your ideals. Then that's on you, not on anyone else. Listen to this.

This is stupid. To be in a good mental state, to be able to run. All of those things are hard to come by. And if you have them and are a part of the running community, that is a privilege. And that, again, was the first thing he taught me.

So I don't really understand how platforming and administration that. cuts mental health services, cuts you know funding and literal shipments to food banks is entirely hurting the climate because you can get into running in the climate. That's a whole nother thing. But as Kundi Cutting funds to climate initiatives and actively hurting the planet in that way, sending people away without due process, villainizing. Villainizing minorities.

All of those things are preventing people from getting into the running community, which is what I thought Kate's platform was for. But it's also just damaging to society as a whole. We should not be normalizing these people. I'm not going to tell anyone what to do with their page, but I think it's insulting to my dad to leave a certain video page. Oh, shut up, you said, Especially when you're doing it.

I am so this like girl clearly has been told that she's special when she's not. First off, can you stop saying stupid things like the running community? That sounds so stupid. You sound like a snotty, entitled Trust Fund brat. When you say the running community, you're just a runner.

Shut up. You're just a runner. The running community. You don't have to sit here and create a construct that you can appoint yourself as gatekeeper of. That's why they use those phrases, because they want to gatekeep people from participating in it.

So, you're just a runner. There's no like running community. Shut up. It's so stupid. And her platform is that this chick can do whatever she wants with her platform, this Kate Max, or whatever her name is.

She can do whatever she wants. She's interviewed Democrats and Republicans. I think it's hateful and bigoted for her to say that you can't platform people that don't share your viewpoints. That's a signal of weakness. You're signaling.

absolute weakness. You want to be accommodated and you demand a seat at the table. But by God, you don't want anybody else that you don't agree with to have a seat at the table. It's not because you object to their ideas. It's because you're too stupid to articulate an actual educated defense of your own ideas.

That's the first thing I think. Actually, that's really what it is. It's not what I think. That's what it is. When they want to silence you, It's because they are too afraid and this has been Gosh, I've seen this from big companies.

I've seen this. When they want to silence you, it's because they're afraid of you. That's what it is. They're afraid of you and they're not smart enough to articulate a defense of their own of their own perspectives. It's pretty unbelievable.

And um I just Who I will This stuff that she's, she's like, what is it? Climate running. What the hell is that? It's just called weather. Yeah.

You don't I people have too much time on their hands. They create these super complicated issues where you don't have to have complicated issues. Like, it just doesn't make sense. Uh Did no one told her she can't run. I mean, no one went out there and told his daughter, you can't run.

Running community. I I don't even know what this means, but It sounds like It sounds like peak privilege is what it sounds like. It sounds like peep privilege, but the whole thing we should not be normalizing these people. is Bigoted. And it's hateful.

Running it's She goes, running as an act is political, is what she said. I mean, it's just an exercise. Shut up. And she says that apparently I guess what it's privileged You're privileged to have the time to run. Access to funds to buy the gear.

Okay, hold up. I was a runner. Like varsity, I set records. What What gear do you need? I think she's a fake runner.

If you're talking about needing gear, you need a pair of tennis shoes. That's it. What are you talking about, gear? Stop acting like a gatekeeper for something that anybody can do. There's no community for you to protect.

But this is how they try to, this is how they try to. Grift Power. by creating these little constructs to which they appoint themselves gatekeeper. then that gives them some kind of a power and authority. Like there's it's not privileged to run You just run.

I could go out and run right now. Kane was telling me about a stunt that they used to do back in his early days in radio when they would have chicks run on high heels. Anybody can run. I mean, it's very simple.

So I I don't know what she's talking about here. I don't want this family plaguing us for the rest of Our lives. I'm so glad that they lost. Can you imagine this chick? She would be all over the place elevating herself as some sort of White House influencer.

Gag me. Uh Just done with it.

Now, um The Tesla vandalism is still ongoing. Oh yeah, they're still they're still burning down the Teslas. They're still very upset about the Teslas. The uh I was reading this story. about how uh a guy in Arizona is facing federal charges.

Uh because he will not stop. Setting fire to things. They arrested a guy. It was an arson attack. that uh was On a just like brand new, just delivered cyber truck.

Can you imagine? You just get a brand new car. And some moron sets it on fire because they don't like the fact that they don't like the car that you're driving. Again, even though the left was telling everybody to go out and get these cars for forever. And then they wrote the word thief.

On the site of a nearby building. And this was in uh yeah, Arizona. Huh? They're helping. They're helping, that's right.

Yeah, they wrote thief. On the side of the building. They misspelled it too, which was great. They literally couldn't spell thief. They spray painted T H E I F on the side of the building.

Yeah. Look, I spelt it. They're not they're not the sharpest folks. They're not the sharpest folks.

So the guy, Ian Moses, is the guy who's being accused. He ap apparently uh torched the Cybertruck. And then misspelled the word thief on the side of the building. He's charged with five counts. I mean, if you're going to.

If you're going to carry out domestic terrorism. Spell your stuff right, right? Spell your messages right. This is the least you can do. He's charged with five counts of malicious damage to property.

If he's convicted, he could get. at minimum, five years for each count. I hope he does. They need to throw the book at this dude. He's the seventh person now facing charges, federal charges, for vandalizing.

Teslas in politically motivated domestic terrorism. The sixth person, they charged this guy. He's a 19-year-old Kansas City college student, Owen McIntyre. And he was in Kansas City. He's the guy who threw a Molotov cocktail at a Cybertruck and lit it on fire, and then it burned the whole damn lot.

And it required like the KC Fire Department and others to respond. And I mean, I can't even they had two charging stations that were burnt. All the cyber trucks were burnt. That guy's got some charges coming in him as well. They need to throw the book at these people.

This is not acceptable. But this is what Democrats incite. You haven't seen a single Democrat go out and condemn any of this stuff or try to quell it at all. In fact, they just want to inflame it further. Goldco is making it easy to take that first step toward protecting your savings.

Visit danalikesgold.com to learn more. That's danalikesgold.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. A woman traveling solo makes a terrifying discovery under her hotel bed.

After noticing a weird smell. This is in Britain. And she, well no, a woman from Britain, she thought Japan was a very safe country.

Somehow, in her Japanese hotel room, a dude was able to get under her bed. And they found a power bank and a USB cable under the bed. They did not. Give her any compensation after the experience. She said the hotel was legit.

She's like, you know, I went in, locked up, you know, got into my room as usual, laid down on the bed, and I noticed a weird smell, and I thought it was coming from the sheets, and I realized it was under the bed. And when she said, I leaned over to check, and I saw a pair of eyes staring at me. a literal man. Under my bed. And their CCT, there wasn't any CCTV in the building, but she said she moved to a new hotel that same night, but she was constantly on edge.

That's I've had it happen before where I was staying in a hotel room and thankfully I always travel with Chris because the left and the woke right love to pick up stories. And somebody walked into our room in the middle of the night. Like, I was able to walk right into our room in the middle of the night. And then they realized their mistake, and they were like, oh, and they left because we were about ready to murder them.

So. Yeah, they're about to get murked.

So It's crazy. You just gotta be careful with that stuff. I always, and it was the one time I was too tired that I didn't, I always take great precautions and I block the door and I do crazy stuff. A copy of a Jumanji book I returned to a New Jersey school library 43 years overdue. And they left a $40 money order.

So it's like less than a dollar per year.

Well, at least they returned it, right? I mean, a community is in disbelief after a seven-year-old's joyride ends on their street. This is wild. It's in Utah. A seven-year-old boy with his little sister drove his mom's car through several towns.

He could barely see over the steering wheel. They don't know how he made the 10 mile trip. And then he took off and it ended in their community at 8 a.m. on Sunday. Police kept getting a call about reckless drivers.

Like there were like they, people just all along the path kept calling the police. They said the car wasn't in its lane. The driver appeared to be super young, like a little kid. And they found the boy and his younger sister were both behind the wheel. Geez, I can't even imagine.

They tried to pull him over, but they didn't, he wouldn't stop.

So they didn't chase him out of safety concerns. They later found the car three miles down the road. It hit a parking strip and was disabled.

So they wrecked it. The kids are okay. No injuries were reported, but they, how do you not know your kids gone and driving your car through multiple towns? It's kind of scary. Uh let's see this uh In uh see.

I'm gonna pull this one up. This is in Carolinas, Fox Carolina, a robot calf confronting shoppers downtown. It's like a PETA thing. I think PETA, if they really care about animals, then you wouldn't like try to aggrieve people with the advocacy. You know what I mean?

Like, I don't believe in animal testing and I don't buy, I avoid makeup products that do it and all kinds of stuff. But it's like, also, I don't think you should be getting people's faces and doing this stuff. Because if it's about the animals, then shouldn't you be a little bit more, I don't know, like you should be trying to persuade people. Sugar gets you more than vinegar. But they said that it's a robot calf and it goes up to people going, Are you wearing my mother?

I would be like, you look like a good chop. No, okay. We got more on the way, including some culture stuff. I got a friend who's doing a comic book. He's going to join us next.

I'm always going to tell people to carry. I'm always going to tell you to carry lead. And I have zero issues at all whatsoever using lethal force to smack down a threat to me or my family. But I understand also that not everyone wants you to be safe. The people who pass these gun-free zones and gun control, they don't care if you're a statistic, they don't care about your family, they don't care if you live or die.

They just want a virtue signal about this stuff.

So, this is where Burner Gun comes in because they understand certain places are disarming you legit. And, you know, we're big kids. I would love to be able to pick and choose exactly where I go all the time, but I can't.

So, as a result, you know, a lot of my friends have gone out and gotten the burna gun, right? You always, it's good to have a diversified weapons array. You have blades, you have different calibers. With something like this, when you are disarmed and you're not able to carry in certain spaces, this comes in clutch. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.

And instead of like one or two rounds, like a traditional taser or something, this is five rounds. They have several different models: the CL, which we'll be talking about soon, but the SD. I have a lot of friends that have gone out and gotten the SD. They have rifles in that, but I think, you know, for this purpose, this is, you know, the SD is what you need to get, and that's what I would recommend. There's no recoil at all whatsoever.

A little bit of cracker, not like the white person or the food, just like the band. Welcome back. Dana Lash here, we're at the bottom of this third hour. We made it to Friday. Yeah!

It's good to be with you. Coast to coast, you can listen terrestrially, one of our hundreds of markets. You can also watch the stream, channel 347 Direct TV. Find us on X. Rumble's where the chat is.

YouTube, all that good stuff.

So I feel like we don't. I we're we're always so Critical of culture here in this space. And for good reason, because it sucks.

So much of it is just heinous, like so much art and so much music and everything. I feel like I sound like a boomer almost because we are just so hyper-critical of it, but it is trash. And one of my biggest criticisms of the right is that they don't. Encourage actual good stuff that's not like politically driven. I, the stuff that I see promoted is politics first and then artistic consideration second.

And I always have a huge issue with that because it should be about you know the expression first and making something that's really cool and is you know uh pretty or whatever. And then, if you want to, you know, if it has a political point, then fine, but don't make that be you know the vehicle for the art, it's backwards. Uh, one of my friends who is a great illustrator. Uh, I think that's the preferred term, uh, has been doing all kinds of you know, comics and he has a podcast. I've known him for a really long time.

In fact, our first meeting was hysterical. Uh, but you can find him on X at Salty Draws. He is a writer, creator. Uh, his pronouns are Lord and King, and uh, he has a comic book series. It's actually really cool.

It's about the teenage Ben Franklin who is caught in this virtual world. That Is regulated by AI, which is weird because when he started this, I kind of wonder if he knew we were going to be here all these years later. I mean, we're almost there. Sean Salter now joins us. You can find him at SaltyDraws on X.

Good to see you, my friend. I can, okay.

So, every time you join me, your office gets like your studio gets bougier and bougier in the background. You want to point that out?

Well, because I'm just going along with my pronouns, king and lords. That's right. That's right. I have the comic here, by the way, and you've got this nice shiny foil on the top. This thing is thick as all get out, too.

And this is like beautifully illustrated. It's Silence Duga, Ben Franklin, time travel agent. I want to get into all of this, but because you were in Hollywood for a really long time, I want to give people a background in you. You were in Hollywood for a long time. You worked for big studios.

You worked on all kinds of very commercial things that people have seen on television and theaters, and you got red-pilled. Although I think you always were kind of born and raised. Yeah, red-pilled. But you weren't public about it because you couldn't be. No.

No. What would have happened if you would have been like if you would have been vocal about it then?

Well, what would have happened is what happened to us right before I ended up leaving Hollywood, which was we had sold, me and my writing partner had sold a show to a major Hollywood studio, and we were developing that in Hollywood. It was an animated series. You're familiar with that one, but we can't talk about NDAs. And when they found out we were conservative Christian, straight white males, well, they knew we were straight white males, but you know, when they found out the conservative Christian part, it was phone call. We're not going to do this show.

Just like that. Just like that. And when you're nobody, you don't have an established name, it's really easy to do to you. And so it was time at that time, at that moment, I knew it was time to leave. Yeah.

And then you went to beautiful Tennessee. I can say that.

Well, you talk about it. I mean, it's, I'm not going to say where you are, but it's like you live out in nature. It's beautiful. Yeah. I live in the forest.

And so it's hard to get to where we're at. And if you're here, it's not a good idea. Right. That's right. And it's so much better now.

Do you feel like you're able to be? I mean, is it f I mean in some in some respects I would imagine it's harder because it's an important point that I think you made. If you don't have that name recognition, I think even if you do have the name recognition, I don't even think that you can be exactly free with your ideological beliefs that they if they fall out of line with what you know the upper echelon in Hollywood dictates.

Well, look what happened to Gina Carano. And then that happens to so many people. They just, what happens is the phone call, the phone stops ringing. The call, you stop getting the job. You stop getting any interest around you.

And it has to, they, they'll say things like, oh, you're difficult to work with. Or, you know, you had an ad, there was another problem. They'll make something up because they don't want to be seen as bigoted. But really, at the end of the day, it's just because they're fascists. Yeah.

I mean, that's that's and every and everything that they've come out with has been garbage. There's, I rarely go see movies anymore. Yeah, we don't go at all. Oh, yeah.

Well, I didn't even see that in the theater. I was trying to think the last thing I saw in the theater, and I can't remember. The first time I went back to the theater after a really long time was Top Gun.

Okay, I did see John Wick. I did see that. But I really haven't gone because there's not a lot. It's all like repurposed, rehashed, reimagined. It's the same story that they make duller and duller with every iteration.

And there's not a lot of originality out there. There's not a lot of originality. And I think they do the reboots because the stuff that is original is so just twisted and just full of their nonsense that does not relate to the regular American. That they're like, well, what about this? And then they shove their stuff in it still.

And it's just like, you made it worse. Yeah. Yeah. So, this, I'm gonna get into the comics because you do. This is a great series that you've been working on for a long time.

But have you been, you're, because you were born really conservative? Like, how would you say, like a Reagan conservative? Like, how did you, what was your belief set? Like, how would you describe it if you had to package it? When I was younger, I was Alex P.

Keaton. I mean, I would debate my father over Richard Nixon being a great president. As I got older, I became a little bit more, you know, into my 20s, I became libertarian. And then when I got older and wiser, I realized I don't like anyone, and you've all gotten it wrong. The founders had it right.

Let's go back to that.

So, constitutional, conservative. Yeah, I think that's right. I like that. Like constitutionalist. And I think there's something as you get older, you realize I just want to be left alone more and more.

Yeah. Tired of everybody's garbage. I'm done with the Democrats. Always never voted for a Democrat in my life, but the Republicans get on my last nerve. I just happen to, you know, it's like the party of stupid or the party of evil.

And it's like, I'll go with the stupid people.

Well, they're not conservative enough. Yeah, I'll go with the dumb people, I guess. But they're not. They're not. I mean, we tend to vote for them as a strategy to kind of get closer to what we want.

But they're not constitutionalists. have to because I mean what's the alternative? Dystopian future where, you know, it's not even communism. It's neo-feudalism. Yeah.

And you have no rights and you're, you're a serf. I mean, let's be honest, income tax is slavery. We need to get rid of that. But we're just, we're serfs. We're slaves.

And we need liberty. And that's what this book is about. Yeah, exactly.

Well, you made an important point, too, about because we kind of agree on this, although I think people don't understand the nuance about voting. Because like, just to throw this out there, this is, I think you throw this out there, there's a, you immediately see the difference between who is a constitutionalist and who isn't because it's not a right. Voting isn't a right. It's relegated to the states to administer.

So it's something that it's a privilege that the states administer. But it's not a right. And people freak out when you say this. Yeah. Well, I say it's an earned responsibility.

It's not even a, I mean, you have to earn that. And that's what the states used to determine. Who was responsible enough to have a say over how society governs itself? You cannot let people that are on the take, that are on the dole, that are essentially parasites. And I lump politicians in with that.

You can't let them have a say. You know, those that are actually putting in the blood, the sweat, and the tears, those that have skin in the game, they have the privilege or the responsibility to govern. The rest of us. We were founded as a republic, and we need to get back to that because the longer we stay a democracy, the more our rights are in jeopardy by the mob. Yeah.

Yeah. And that's one of the reasons why I like this series, too, because you, you. Explore How do I put it? You explore these ideals without it being overbearingly political, if that makes sense. Like, I don't feel like I'm reading.

a political missive that is Politics first, and then, like, you know, the really cool artwork and coloring and the panels and the characters. That's like a second consideration. Is that, and I feel like a lot of people on the right struggle with that. I mean, clearly, you don't because you get the concept of it. But talk a little bit about that because this is what, so for the people who don't know, Ben Franklin is Silenced Do Good.

This is his series, and this is the latest. I mean, it's like really pretty. I love it. I mean, it's a great read. And if you like comics, I like, I like manga and I watch anime and all that stuff.

And I love this series. But it's, um, I love the way that you approach it. And tell me a little bit about it because. I think this is something that people obviously should check out. But I like that it's just originality forward, for the lack of a better way to put it.

Well, the idea really started as just me thinking: like, what would our founding fathers think of if they saw the America we've built? And it kind of. You know, snowballed from there. I love time travel, big fan of Doctor Who. You know, I loved it.

Right there. Yeah. But so obviously, time travel was how I wanted to do it. I wanted to treat American history as kind of a backdrop. I didn't want to change history.

I wanted to keep it like, oh, this was what happened. How are we going to do that? And so it just problem after problem. And you just solve the problems. And one of the ways we solved it was, what if we had Ben Franklin, who was a scientist, an inventor, he was like the Renaissance man of the age.

He seemed like the perfect person for this. And he's my favorite founding father. He's one of the most interesting guys ever. He was very interesting. What if he's a teenager?

His airbaths. That was my favorite story about him. Yeah, one of his inventions was uh just sitting around in the nude You know, Airbath. But yeah, so it was like, take a teenager, teenage Ben Franklin.

So it's more of a coming of age.

So he has the principles of the Enlightenment era, but he's also going to be maybe more wrestling and questioning and doubting, but also rebellious, a little bit more rebellious than he would be as an adult. And what would that be like? Because Ben Franklin was also a loyalist.

So how does that so it creates all kinds of complexities where we get to then have a fun time exploring the ideals of liberty and free will and what that would look like in a future where the algorithms dictate every move humanity takes. And we are there right now. I mean, because you start, how long ago did you first start this series? Because we've talked about it before. I mean, it's continued and it's grown, but I.

It was very prescient because now here we are where AI is really, I mean, it's going to dominate everything. I mean, it's going to dominate warfare. It's going to dominate every aspect of American life. We're right there by singularity. And so this was very, I mean, this was very thoughtful in anticipating that.

Yeah, I started it a decade ago, actually, and it's evolved.

So we added in AI probably eight years ago because AI was starting to be murmured. And we were, you know, you have AI and video games. And so it's just kind of like thinking of a virtual world. And I remember a lot of my friends, and me included, would get super addicted to video games. And you'd be like, oh, I could just call out sick because I'm going to play video games all day long.

And it was like, What would it be like if we just all lived in a video? Oh my gosh, that would be scary.

So for me, it was just like trying to, trying to create the scariest world possible, but that seems that's so candy coded that it would be very sweet to the world. And so that's what I think that this dystopian future would be like. And that's the world we're creating. And that Ben Franklin is like, nope, we got to stop it. Blazers and robots.

Yeah. And I think he's, I think you were pitch perfect on that because out of all the founders, he's the one. He was very forward. He's like, I would say maybe the most classically tocqueville liberal of all of them. I mean, he was very, very forward thinking.

He was really the only one. Like you could send him to France and he can go over there and, you know, whine and dine with Louis and all of the nobles and get money to help fund our war of independence. Not everybody had the patience to do it. Other people tried and they struggled. Like John Adams really struggled to deal with them.

But Ben Franklin was like, no, no, no, you got to finesse it. You got to handle it a certain way. He was very, I mean, he really understood the times then and the times that were. We're coming.

So he's like the perfect character through which to explore all of this. Are you going to do others? Are you going to branch off and like maybe explore with other founders? Yeah, we're going to explore with other just Americans in general. I don't want to say exactly who, but it's going, it'll be a little bit, you know, it'll be fun.

We're going to have fun with it. Definitely, I think that Silence Dugood will be a moniker that gets applied to other people as Ben Franklin will kind of age out because, you know, eventually he's got to go back. Because what we're doing is he's 18 at this time, and he's supposed to be in England procuring a printer. And American history doesn't really know what he was doing there other than getting odd jobs trying to get back for about three years.

So when he comes back to America, you know, we might have to change the story a bit and get a new hero in there. But for right now, we got about three years with Ben Franklin. And that's a lot of can happen while you're time traveling. Exactly. A lot that can happen.

The series is Ben Franklin is Silenced Do Good Time Travel Agent. It is great. You can find it at his website as well. And they also have, he's promoting the comic book pre-order campaign on Indiegogo. And you can see that the website, turkeyrobot.com.

And you can check out his show, Salty and Savage, on YouTube. My good friend, always so good to have you. Would love to have you back. The next time you're all in Dallas, you need to holler. The next time we're in your neck of the remote woods.

So congratulations. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you for having me on. Of course.

Always. I'm like, I got this. I'm like, oh, we got to have Sean on to talk about this because it's really great. And I actually, since COVID, I got really into manga and anime, and I actually started getting into your stuff more. Because of it.

Dana Lash with you. It's a very stormy day in Texas. Kane, I think it's been thundering and rumbling the entire time we've been on air, like loudly. Like Steve can hear it through the microphone. all the way in DC from where we are.

That's how Loud, the thunder and all of that is like the heavens have opened up. No tornadoes, though. All right, I don't want to rob you today's stupidity because they did it like twice this week.

So, Kane, go. It's uh, Killery, sorry, Hillary Clinton gets sometimes tongue-tied. I apologize for them. This is cut 11. Uh, this is what she says the Democrats need.

And this is what she says the Republicans should heed. Listen to this. We will defeat these people by winning elections. I mean, even if we win every court case, we still have to figure out how to get that enforced. Even if the press does lots of exposés, you're dealing with an administration that has no shame.

They don't care that they are being seen as corrupt or being seen as cruel or whatever. Because, of course, it's all about smearing your political. She literally took classified emails and then tried to delete the evidence. You tried a nation build in Libya and literally usurped the authority there. And no matter what context we're talking about, she's the worst.

Yeah, she's absolute worst. She's never going to go away, is she? That does it for us this week, folks. I hope you have a wonderful, dry, safe weekend. And I'll be back behind the mic with you on Monday.
