He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're The FBI director, and you don't know what that meant? That meant Assassination. And it says it loud and clear.

Now, he wasn't very competent, but he was competent enough to know what that meant. He did it for a reason, and he was hit so hard because people like me. They like what's happening with our country. Our country's become respected again, and all this. And he's calling for the assassination of the president.

Obviously, he apologized and said he did not know what he was calling for violence. Look, he's a very good person. What do you want to see happen? What do you want to see happen? I don't want to take a position on it because that's going to be up to Pam and all of the great people.

But I will say this: I think it's a terrible thing. And when you add his history to that, If he had a clean history, he doesn't. He's a dirty cop. He's a dirty cop. And if he had a clean history, I could I could understand if there was a leniency.

But I'm going to let them make that decision.

So that's something we're going to dive into later in the radio program talking about this 86 thing that was yesterday. And I'm so tired of the arguments that I'm hearing from people who are defending it, saying, well, you know, he wasn't saying 86. Kane, let me ask you a question before we get going. Sure. What does 86 mean?

Means to nix, to kill, to end. Yeah. It doesn't mean to just reject or take off the menu. I worked in a restaurant for years throughout college, and one of the things that was absolutely certain. Was what that meant.

That meant, for whatever reason, you have to kill something being on the menu. It means that. You either don't have enough of the ingredient, they either don't have enough of the entire menu item, whatever it is. And then they they They kill it from the menu. That is what that means.

And the audacity of these people trying to lecture everybody about it is insane. You know what? We're going by the Dems rules. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you.

We're at the top of this first hour on Friday, and we've got a lot to cover here as we roll towards. We got the latest with some of the stuff in the House, like the reconciliation bill, et cetera. Oh, by the way, and then we've got Democrats and impeachment, Audio Soundbite 5. The guy, not the good Al Green, the bad Al Green. He's the bad Al Green.

He uh he did, well, he just filed more articles of impeachment. Yay, look at him. He did that.

So he audio stunbite AF5, it is.

Sorry. bringing to the attention of Everyone? But count down. to impeachment. The countdown.

The countdown begins tonight.

So, this is what Democrats are doing in the House: they're filing articles of impeachment. And I'm going to tell you. I know I'm a broken record, but I said that I was gonna say this literally every day forever. That if Democrats, or if Republicans rather, if they can't get it together, if they can't get it together and they can't make something They can't make this permanent. They can't make tax cuts permanent.

They can't do any of this. Then you're going to get non-stop. Impeachment. That's what you're going to get is non-stop. impeachment.

24-7.

So This, I mean, because who was the other guy? You had Al Green, and then you had that other cat who didn't even know all the. cities or all the towns in his district. Yeah, he didn't even know all the towns in his district. That guy.

That guy. So This I mean this whole thing Is what we're going to have to be dealing with this. We're going to have to be dealing with this for four years. for four years.

So I, you know, I don't know.

So we've, that's what Democrats have been doing. when they're not. rocking on the beach and writing like some dippy influencer. Words in the sand. That's what Democrats are doing.

Now, in addition to all of that, one of the things we're going to be talking about coming up later in the program is the situation with regards to India. Because I, as you know, I like anybody that's a geopolitical foe of China. And we've talked about this quite a bit with Stephen Yates, and he is. He's going to be, he's talked about every Monday, he comes on the show and he's talked with us about this, where we're going to kind of dive into it and kind of, and also, sort of what that means. for the overall for foreign for foreign policy.

in the United as it relates to India, as it relates to Afghanistan, as it relates to Pakistan, because now it looks like India and Pakistan are kind of like, you know, tying up.

So we're gonna deep dive into all of that. Also, Trump declared that Taylor Swift was no longer hot. Yeah. I mean, he's not wrong. Yeah.

Yeah, he's not wrong. He uh out of nowhere. This morning. Nobody. Nobody said anything.

I don't know where Trump tweets. Has anybody noticed since I said I hate Taylor Swift that she's no longer hot? How old is she? Hang on, let me look. Let me give you a look.

You're Keynes dying. Go ahead, go ahead. What's what go ahead, my friend? No, I'm just thoroughly amused by it all. It's just he doesn't care.

He doesn't care. He well, he was going i he was talking about her and Um Bruce Springsteen. I literally almost forgot his name. And he tweeted that.

So she's 35. She's thirty-five years old. She's 35 years old. You're middle-aged. Yeah.

If you're in your, she's middle-aged. She's middle-aged woman. And The only reason I say this is because she sings Songs like she's still Uh High school teeny bopper is the best way I can put it, I think, right? I think you would agree with that, right? I think that's accurate.

Didn't she s she started out as like country country, right? Yes. And then she moved to pop country. I've never dug her music. I'm just not into pop.

And I mean, like like poppy pop. Not like pop isn't popular music, but like poppy pop you know what I mean. Uh, so he tweeted that out of nowhere.

So, you have to ask, this was at because he's over. Hang on, let me see. Current time in UAE. Because he's currently over, well, he was over in UAE when this was happening.

So he tweeted this at nine something this morning.

Okay, so they're like, it's already 8:12 p.m. over there.

Okay, so it's still like in the evening.

So he, you know, probably was at dinner. And Tweeted, has anybody noticed since I said I hate Taylor Swift that she's no longer hot? I I just find it funny. I'm sorry. It is just funny.

I I You would say, Dana, the president should be tweeting and things like this. Yes, and I shouldn't be engaging with trolls on social media, but it is what it is. You know, I mean, that's where we are.

So Yes. I don't know. I and I'm wondering I don't know sh if she's gonna say if are the Swifties, isn't that what they call her fan base? The Swifties. I again You're 35 years old.

You're not Selena. Quit it. Just stop. You don't need to even be doing all that. Just quit it.

You're not Selena. So I don't know. We're. There's a lot happening.

Now, in the meantime, in the house with reconciliation. The uh it still remains. There was no inclusion of Uh Exemption for taxes on Social Security. They wanted to give you a measly little deduction, but they have been having an absolute fight. They sunk a key vote, and this was on the House budget committee this morning, they sunk a key vote advancing the BBB, the big beautiful bill, and it was the 16 to 21 vote.

that throws uh a pretty big hurdle because they're so they're supposed to send let me look at my calendar. I'm actually gonna let me grab my calendar here. They're supposed to be sending this bill to the Senate So they were supposed to have they're supposed to have a by memorial day.

So that's Tod from today, that's like one week. Because I think that they leave, I think that they break again that next weekend.

So Memorial Day is the 26th. Memorial Day is just, you know, literally just barely over a week. Away. And so the Senate was supposed to have this. That was the original.

Plan. They were supposed to have this by Memorial Day, but they were still kind of going back and forth over some of the last-minute changes. And the moderates wanted bigger tax breaks. They wanted way bigger tax breaks.

So Chip Roy was one of the holdouts, several others, Ralph Norman. I mean, all of the holdouts were the people that you want to be holding out. Those are the people who are trying to be good stewards of our tax dollars. Because I do not want to consider, I don't want to continue the green new funding. That's in here still.

I think it's insane that we have no permanent tax cuts that are seriously codified in this, that we have taxes on Social Security, and that we're only looking at giving tax relief to one tiny segment of the working population. That's stupid. This is a dumb bill. And I'm tired of being gaslit by people who can't do math and thirsty whores that come from New York who just want to be power adjacent. That's the truth of it.

So, I have no good things to say about this bill. I don't. Because, why should we have to always compromise? Why is it, ask yourselves this: why are we always told, oh, well, you know, it's just you got to give a little and get a little. Oh, you got to give a little.

We've been doing all the giving, guys. For How long? I went back. Let me pull up my notes. I went back.

Every single time. that we have had to do this. In the house. And go over reconciliation, go and and kick the can down the road. And I went back to like, because when I really, really started plugging in was like right when the tea party was getting kicked off.

I was on air in the on uh in 2008. Started, co-founded the Tea Party movement, traveled all around the country. The. Bills, that was like one of the first criticisms that we actually had. Was way back when, you remember?

Way back when. This was even going back pre-Tea Party with the don't go movement. and how they were fighting this isn't Democrats were in charge of the House, but they were fighting, they were going back and forth as it pertained to cutting spending and deregulating so that the energy sector could get a boost because we were under Democrat control. Gas prices were through the roof. Do you guys remember?

It was that that summer It was that summer of 2008 before the election. You guys remember all of that? And it was nuts. And that's ever since then. I watched Republicans have been saying, well, we got to wait till after the election.

They said it back then in 08. We got to wait till after the election. Let's go into spring. Then. Spring, the same thing.

We got to wait. Let's wait until fall. Oh my gosh. This has been going on this entire time. And I went back, I even went back and looked at all of the stuff that I had written prior about this.

And this has been going on for that long. We're going to dive into this a little bit more. We've got headlines coming up.

So, apparently, police in New Hampshire are investigating the theft of a trail camera that reviewed, they saw footage that identified a bear that stole it. A bear apparently stole the camera, clawed it off. A tree and another bear watched from a short distance away. They got the report of a camera theft, police did, and they said that it was very suspicious. They were kind of joking about it, but I've never seen where a bear could just steal a trail cam, but okay.

Fancy snake. Reptile Wranglers find a weird diamondback rattlesnake in Arizona. They shared a photo of the snake that they came across in the backyard of a Scottsdale home. These trappers called Rattlesnake Solutions. They posted photos to social media showing what appears to be a Western diamondback rattlesnake that has a leopard-like color pattern.

They said that the only normal thing about it was that the snake's bright white tail base had black spots, and that was it.

So normally they have diamond-shaped patterns on their bodies, but this one said that it was a very weird, it was a very weird pattern. Apparently, why are people even paying for a subscription for? Netflix, anyway. Netflix is going to start showing generative AI ads midway through their streams beginning next year. And they said that they're testing the amount and types of ads that they're willing to try to see what subscribers are willing to endure.

And they said that it's for lower prices, but. I mean, they're not lowering the prices, they're keeping them the same.

So, they said that they've created interactive mid-roll ads and pause ads that incorporate it, and that they can start seeing these ads in 2026. And I mid-roll, so I guess it's what, going to be in the middle of the middle of the show, I guess is what it is. The President of advertising at Netflix said they're going to be mid-roll ads. I hated that when Amazon did that. Remember when Prime started doing that?

Got it. They launched their ad subscription tier in November of 22, and they have 300 total million subscribers. They got 94 million subscribers to the ad tier.

So they said, I don't know what they think that I, what's the point of paying for it if you're still going to have that's just so stupid and shady. I think it's so lame. You know, I don't know. It depends on how many ads. Because if I just start watching a ton of ads, I guarantee you I'm not going to, you know, it's, I, if you're paying, if people are paying for it, I don't think you should, you should be throwing ads in their face.

It's not like radio where the people, the sponsors that you hear pay for everything. That's what that is.

So Washington Examiner says. Clean energy is dead in the house. They were trying to incentivize and use tax incentives, essentially, to help grow nuclear power. But that's one of the things that apparently is on the cutting room floor for the sweeping fiscal overhaul. And I mean, I don't know.

You can't, they're still going to consider funding Planned Parenthood, but this, I don't know. Apparently, let's see, I don't know. It's a deer that was in a drain.

Okay. A new Pope got his own trading card and it already outsold one of the most popular basketball players of all time. That actually is interesting. The uh I didn't know that you could do a Pope card, but apparently you can. It's Tops.

They put together a trading card for Pope Leo ahead of his inauguration later this month. They said it's already breaking records and it's now the best-selling non-sports Tops card. It outsold Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and John Cena. And of course, it's already being scalped. People are paying $195 and up just for the alternative art.

That's crazy. Very, yeah, $200, like that's $200 for a Pope card. And it even beat out Lionel Mussey. And LeBron James, that's insane. That's, that's, I've never heard of anything like that before, but okay, maybe, you know, Kane, we need to get into the baseball card business.

Clearly, we are doing life wrong.

Republicans talk fiscal responsibility, but they practice fiscal irresponsibility. Trump's big, beautiful bill is full of ugly details. Mr. Chairman, there is absolutely no fiscal sanity, as you refer to it, in this bill. What begins is a $4 trillion bit of public borrowing according to the nonpartisan committee for responsible federal budget.

likely ends up adding almost $7 trillion to to the national debt. Yeah, it adds a lot. And that's why you see a lot of these lawmakers Uh They are um you know, really kind of they're they're pushing back against this stuff. And I I love his accent, by the way. Where's Doggett from?

Look, let me see. Let me see. I liked his accent accent because it sounded kind of like my grandmother's accent. Oh, he's from Austin, Texas. Dang, that's not a Texas drawl.

That's right. Lloyd Doggett. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's born in Texas, so that's a Texas draw. But he's a Democrat.

And here's the thing: I don't want to, I really want to say that he's wrong, and I want to argue with him. Uh and so but I can't.

So, I can't.

So, and just this is what it is. We'll come back. Daniel Lash with you. Top or bottom of this second hour.

So, the bill, we talked about this a little bit this week. The uh bill Um Has all of the Green New Deal subsidies in it. You just get like a measly deduction for Social Security. I've I've been watching people. I've had some Operatives for certain different candidates message me and kind of get snotty with me about it.

And they're like, well, Dana, you just don't want to accept anything. It's like, no, that's not it. And that's a false equivalency. It's not about, I don't want to accept anything. It's I was promised certain things.

And you damn Republicans have campaigned, wanted our votes. You tried to shame us into it in 2020, and acting like if we didn't go along with whatever big budget thing you wanted to propose, then we're somehow betraying the country. They're doing it again now. Do not be gaslit into this. This is how they keep doing this.

Like I said, I was looking at my notes going all the way back. Uh from Like 2008, when I first went on air. And um when I first went on air, In 2008, October 28th, 2008, was my first show. I was writing about all of this before then. And if you remember, What was one of the key things that everybody in the Tea Party back when we all first had that phone call, the very first national phone call we had was that Sunday, and we were.

launching our game plan for this, right? What was one of the biggest things that everybody was livid about? Guys remember? It was too big to fail. All of this, we were complaining about this.

The first call and everything got launched in 09. But I was talking to activists and we were actually speaking out. and protesting too big to fail and all of these other government Federal government-centric things that really should be left to the states are not meddled with at all. I mean, this is. Gosh, this has been going on for so long.

Every single... time that we have had this this budget battle, they've kicked the can down the road. And it has been and I I'm kind of stunned that of the the short memories of some of Some of these people who write op-eds that are friends of mine, and they are all for this. Mike, do you not remember in 2009 that spring? They were like, no, no, no, we gotta wait.

We gotta wait because we're getting ready to go into midterms. We're just gonna take it slow. Let's maybe revisit how we can start shaping all of this in the fall. And then fall of 09 came and all hell was breaking loose. The one time that they actually sort of stood up.

Republicans did. To the request from the moderates for big spending and Democrats push for big spending was right ahead of the 2010 midterm elections, right? Right ahead of the 20-term midterm elections, when we were facing a government shutdown. And Republicans were told if you allow the government to shut down, Then You're gonna lose everything. And what happened?

Do you guys remember what happened? Oh my gosh, it was a... monumental, a huge, huge victory. And I think Barack Obama called it a shellacking. Because Republicans held their ground and delivered for the voters.

And I guess they lost the lessons of that. They they I guess forgot. What that Well that was like they they had good messaging though They they had good they had decent actual decent messaging. And now, what is it? They're too afra they're so afraid of their own shadow.

I watched uh I saw one lawmaker yesterday. who is tweeting that He, it's a big, beautiful bill, and it accomplishes everything that they set out to do. And I'm like, wait a minute.

Okay, Congressman, can you answer my question? Does this also include the tax, like like you're not including social security in taxes, right? You're not going to tax that anymore. never responded. But Kane, how much you want to bet these same people are going to be like, oh, we got to book out.

Can we come talk to you about our book? I know they will. That's how they always do. That's how these people always do.

So, the other bit of news, and we talked about this at the top of the show. If you get the newsletter, yeah, I was up a little late last night getting some stuff prepared for everybody because we had this come out. Um Where, as soon as we get some, where the Republicans are going to be finalized on finances, we'll have something up about that. But this. Wow.

Piece that I sent out was on the 86. It has the The original photo that he deleted that's up there, and then it also includes Cash Patel's response and Comey's explanation.

So he puts up there cool formation on my beach walk, 8647. What what grown man do you know? goes out and arranges words on the beach with shells. Like a dippy influencer. Who do you guys know that does who does that?

Nobody. Cain, would you do that if you're gonna walk on the beach and you're gonna be like, I'm gonna spell some things out with shells and take a photo for my Insta? No. You're not gonna do that? Is he claiming that he actually arranged it or is he saying that he?

Are you kidding me? No one, he's not walking on the beach and then like walking across this thing. He did it. Come on. I agree with you.

He responded later. He goes, Quote, I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers.

Now, I'm going to come back to that sentence with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind.

So I took the post down.

Okay, so. Again, I worked as a server. I worked in a hula hands. throughout college. And That's it means to kill a menu item, like to kill it.

Like, I remember one time we potato soup is our big thing, and we ran out of potato soup. And we had 86 the potato soup. Kill it off the menu. You take it out. You take it out of consideration.

You cease its being.

So to speak. That's You know, that's what it means. In fact, the lore is that What is it? Eight by six, that's the uh the dimensions of a grave, and that's why it's called eighty-six. That's one of the lore I heard, some of the lore I heard.

But we all knew that I meant to kill it, right? Oh, you're 86 it. You got to kill it. It's not just and and it's also used in you know It's a You can use it in ta in discussion of felonious criminal. Scheming when you're talking about killing somebody, right?

You are seriously, I don't believe it for a second, but. It's asinine to think that the top cop in the land. He ran the FBI, didn't know what that meant. Shut up. Yes, he did.

Yes, he did. That's all stupid. He thought he was being cutesy, right? And then he's like, I didn't realize those numbers associate those numbers. Like, it's 47 is not the problem, it's the number in front of it and what that is instructing.

Let me remind everybody. Twice now. People have tried to assassinate. A sitting president. In the past eight years in this country, past six years in this country, four years in this country, three, two, just really in the past like year.

They've tried one year, they've tried assassinating two times sitting president of the United States. One guy came damn near close to it. And the left brushed it off. In 2022. A leftist tried assassinating Justice Kavanaugh.

days after, Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court building. And threatened his words were, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you. And he said him by name, quote, Justice Kavanaugh. He was in a fury over Roe v.

Wade's defeat. And just a few years before that. A Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer. Tried assassinating a ball field full of congressional members. And the only reason that we didn't have a bunch of dead Congress members is because Steve Scalise is in House leadership and he had armed security with him.

Now a lot of the guys they own guns and they shoot regularly and they hunt, but they weren't allowed to carry. They were disarmed. If Steve Scalise had not been there, there would have been dead lawmakers. Absolutely. Steve Scalise was almost killed.

So When is the left going to stop resorting? to violence and excusing violence as a substitute for reasoned debate. Cache Patel said they were aware of it. And they are in communication with the Secret Service. Primary jurisdiction, he says, is with the Secret Service on these matters.

We're going to provide necessary support. I had other people say, well, Dana, do you know that there's 86, 46 t-shirts on Amazon? Oh, did Cash Patel do it? I apologize for people who had notifications on last night. I was really, I was a smart ass last night.

I really was. I was editing a couple of things. And I was already tired, and my eyes were really dry. And I'm looking at my monitor and I just was being mean. I really was.

I wasn't mad. I was just being mean to people. And I had people say, oh, well, look on Amazon, these t-shirts on Amazon, it says 86.47. Oh, did Cash Patel write those? and sell them.

I didn't know Cache Patel had storefront.

So wait, you're trying to equivocate? Rando's selling stupid shirts on Amazon that literally nobody knew existed until somebody tried to go and cherry-pick something to justify a former FBI director. Actually, intimating assassinating the president of the United States. really. Seriously, come on.

I know by some people were saying, oh, look at some of these other conservatives who did this, or people, not conservatives, but Republican, moderate Republicans who had said this before. Again, I don't And I don't like anybody saying it, but how is that uh the same As the director of the FBI, if you show me. that Cash Patel Had ever done 8646 or anything like that, fine. Oh my gosh, you got us. But he didn't.

He didn't. Oh, but Cash Patel reposted a video where he was chopping off political opponents' heads. It was someone else made the video. And it was the dumbest AI I've ever seen. Actually, it was like his, one of those videos where it's like his, somebody's face superimposed on something and they're cutting a log and the end of the log that's coming off are like heads of like different leftist commentators and lawmakers.

I don't like that either. And I say that as somebody that the anti-gun lobby made fetish assassination videos of. I literally had like gun control groups reposting videos, AI videos, of me being murdered.

So, yeah, nobody likes that. But was it the FBI director that made it? You morons. No, it wasn't.

So stop with this nonsense equivocation. I get it. You guys have a bloodlust. You love dead Republicans. You love killing people as a substitute for reason discourse.

I get it. But that doesn't mean your arguments have to be as stupid too. I'm just tired of this stuff. I mean, leftists are, you people are turning into barbarians.

Blue hair, armpit hair, female armpit hair.

Some of these people we're looking at, kid. I don't know. Man. Listen, I was just watching your clips. And you know, we have this low birth rate in America.

And it all made sense to me. It just hit me right now because who's going to sleep with these ugly ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS liberal women? I mean, you look at these rallies, it's like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other. Have you seen what Comey. I love it.

Uh that was funny. Jesse's been a longtime friend of mine, and he's just dying. You could tell it was too funny. But it's true. Also, can we stop with the armpit hair for women?

Like why is that a thing? I'm wondering. thought process of I'm going to be nasty. to be powerful. It is.

I'm sorry. It's just, it's nasty. I just. But I'm I don't know, I just don't So gross. Ladies, come on now.

You ain't owning anybody but y'allselves, okay? You're not doing nothing to anybody but yourselves with that one. Is that I have never crashed. I used to crash protests all the time when I was in college, and I have never crashed a protest. Where there wasn't.

Can you know it's true? You've been into concerts. It's true. There's always some of them winnings. There's always at least one.

It looks like they got spiders trapped under their arms. They're holding them down. It's like almost like they're saving America from just an army of spiders under their arms. I don't know, but it's this and then it's like they gotta show it off. It's like not for them, it's for all of you.

It's like they got buckwheat in the headlock. I mean it's... It is so. It's just a little bit of a message. Anyway, he's not wrong.

They're always mad. They're always mad about something. Always mad. All right, coming up. We've got a lot to hit still.

We're going to be discussing some foreign policy. We've got some culture. We got the, you know, the Hearing Protection Act?

So apparently they're not Republicans. Republicans love campaigning on the Second Amendment. Oh, they love pretending that they're big 2A people, but when push comes to shove, they leave you high and dry. We're going to talk about that coming up. Second hour on the way.

Those are important to me. That represents trillions of dollars that they have cut. But if they're really interested in being fiscally responsible, then don't give such big cuts to the rich. Actually try and balance a budget. Actually try and bring down the deficit.

If you want to take away all of those things from the neediest, Take away some from the rich as well. Oh my gosh. Tell me that you don't understand how. Money or taxes work without telling me that you don't understand how money or taxes work. That's Stacey Plaskett, who's a delegate.

with the Virgin Islands. And She clearly does not know how. I mean, how are you 60 years old and you don't know how this works yet? That's just kind of embarrassing at this point. She was involved in the second impeachment of Trump.

She's a non-voting House member. And uh I think if you're a non-voting House member, shut up. There you go. Be quiet. She huh.

Was born in Brooklyn, but her parents are from Virgin Islands, and so she is representing. Virgin Islands, none. voting member anyway also apparently a communist. What is this this uh This idea, and of course, they're debating. The Um the bill.

You know, they're debating the budget. They're Uh which I just can't. Can I just say, oh my gosh, we have this conversation every year. Every time there's a budget, we have this conversation. And I am so done with this.

So done with it. She's saying that, oh, they she's also said that Republicans mainstreamed the great replacement theory. She did this whole thing where she went and called all Republicans racist on the House floor. I mean. She's got A long history of shenanigans.

Let's just say that. But This idea that If you are, if the if people who are make X amount of dollars, they're getting a tax cut. And That is a tax cut that should go elsewhere. Do you know why they're getting the tax cut? It's not, or not a tax cut, but a tax return or anything else.

They pay most into the system. We've gone over these figures. over and over again, I'll do it again. top 1% in the United States pay the vast majority of all the taxes. And you have 50% of people in this country who don't pay anything.

Actually, is it over 50%? Look at my notes, it might be. Long story short, you guys understand the reality here. And This narrative they're trying to foment. and that they were trying to argue with the Quote unquote big beautiful bill, et cetera, that the rich were getting tax cuts, or they get mad when the rich get more, when people who pay into the system get more money back than the people who pay less into the system or nothing at all.

Uh It's just it's stunning to me and I really feel I don't know. When Congress was first established. You had a lot of people in Congress that were business owners and they had farms and they had to Pay people. And they had to manage land and they had to manage resources and they had to manage their business partnerships and trade and all of this other stuff and serving. In government I don't want to say it was a consequence of that.

I but I don't have a a better way to put it. But it was Something like sort of a consequence of that. Like, oh, these people have this experience. That gives them some authority per their expertise. legislate about this or to speak about it or to lobby about it.

And so That's You know, people like uh You know, Davy Crockett and everybody else, when they went and served in D.C., they had. expertise. because they were active in the private sector. And then at some point The majority of these people And I might be playing fast and loose with my percentages here. But it seems like there are a hell of a lot more people now.

that serve in Congress. that don't have that real life experience that Don't know how to make payroll, that have never been the first to arrive and the last to leave, that don't know the stress of running a business, that don't understand the stress of making sure that people are paid, that don't understand all of the pressures that go in with a business. I mean, we ran a small business, we lived it. And it is it's hard. And usually, I mean, you're the the business owner.

I mean, by and large, this is usually how it goes for the first, what, five to seven years. I mean, for the first several years, you don't even make anything. People who work for you do, but you're they're the owner is always the last person that takes the paycheck. until you actually are profitable. These people don't understand that.

So at some point It's like the makeup of people serving in government changed, and it went from Business owners and farmers and ranchers and people that really understood how the world works. people like Stacey Plaskett, who have never run a business. and have everything handed to them because they can either check boxes or because they're Nepo babies or something. And then they get into positions of government where they can affect law and then now look Then you start having all of these stupid regulations and stupid restrictions and Marxist taxation levels, et cetera.

Well, any taxation is Marxist, but you get my point. I don't know when that changed completely. I think FGR had a hand in it. But It is stunning and it's it's really I get I get angry because I'm insulted. I'm insulted by people who have never contributed anything themselves, who have no skin in the game, that want to lecture all of us about this stuff.

I don't know. The uh Um Whether or not this bill makes it the roof they were supposed to have it in by Memorial Day. It's just not. I'm not happy with it. I don't think it helps.

I think it increases the deficit. And what's more, and I'm going to come to this here, pull this up. What's more is the issue of Uh these lawmakers that r talk a really good game. about Second Amendment issues, but when push comes to shove, They do nothing.

So we've had on, we talked to some lobbyists earlier this week about the Hearing Protection Act. And the Suppressors, the suppressor issue, right?

So they were supposed to amend the reconciliation bill to repeal. The inclusion of suppressors, which are not silencers. I don't know. Silencer, I know originally. That was like the cutie little colloquial term that the originator came up with, but the more accurate Way to say it, and words are important because they invoke different legal ramifications, is suppressor because it doesn't silence anything.

And So far. It's not in it. They're after promising, a lot of these lawmakers actually promise that they in campaign speeches.

Now they're not delivering. Just like they're not delivering on removing Social Security from taxation. If they're not going to take suppressors out of the NFA, They're not you go look, you're not going to get, you're not going to get. Nationwide concealed carrier. You're not going to get that.

Concealed carry bill is not going to go anywhere. in the house. They're just doing that to string people along. They're entirely ineffective. And it's disappointing.

And I'm going to remember this the next time they're like, oh, can we get your votes? Oh, can we get this? Can you come vote for us? People need to realize that there have to be consequences for lying to the American voter and not following through in your promises. Yeah, there are a number of them that don't.

I and Johnson I think Johnson's been incredibly ineffective. This is he's not getting anything done. And there's so much compromise. It's almost like Kevin McCarthy is still there. Except I will say Kevin McCarthy had more influence than Mike Johnson did.

You know, I'm going to tell you something. A lot of people give Marjorie Taylor Greene a lot of grief. Yeah. But The one area where she actually was And she's been right on a lot of things. A lot of people just don't like her delivery.

That woman. was a hundred percent right on that speaker fight. She called it out. She was like, no, no, no. She was on the phone with POTUS.

Remember that infamous picture where she had hit him on the phone? And she was saying no. She was like, this is not the time to do it. She wasn't opposed, and this is where most of us were. She wasn't opposed to switching out the speaker.

She just wasn't opposed. She just was opposed doing it at that exact time. And she had also noted: look, y'all don't have a replacement. Who are you guys going to have step in to take his spot? And so.

She was really critical of that and she reminded everybody about that a couple days ago. But McCarthy at least had The Seniority, because he'd been there for a while, so he knew everybody, knew where the bodies are buried, rhetorically speaking. And he was able to do more than Johnson. Kent is now. And that was all because Again, that was the Gates got mad at Kevin McCarthy because Kevin McCarthy wouldn't stop an ethics investigation into Gates.

And so Gates decided to get even with McCarthy, and that's the stunt that he pulled. Is he kicked off the whole speaker fight. And Marjorie Taylor Greene was against it from the beginning. Like I said, people get mad over her delivery. She was right about this.

She was a thousand percent right. And What's more, she's even like, look, he's not, she's trying to not completely start a war, but she's saying, look, Johnson doesn't even know what he's doing now, because he doesn't. He's not, this is not getting done. How are you not having some of the simplest things be included in this bill? But, Dana, they barely have a majority.

My gosh, I'm so damn tired of that excuse.

So tired of it. When they had a more sizable majority earlier, they didn't do anything still. I mean at some point that excuse has gotta run out of power, right? You gotta hit your credit limit with it, right? Good night.

I mean, I was reading this this story earlier. About tax dollars and what they're all paid, what everything pays for. Like for instance in New Jersey. They uh They had people, they had spikes in their utility costs. They were raising prices on everybody, and then they were also taking a lot of taxpayer dollars.

Funding things like offshore wind and settling illegal immigrants. And this story, oh gosh, there's a lot. I'm just, I don't know. I. And this is like something that's all across the United States.

They've added fees, like for instance. They've added all kinds of fees under these utility bills. And some folks have been diving into it. Finding out that it's a just created a never-ending slush fund for Democrats to pay for pet projects. And funding this like experimental clean energy for their buddies and all this stuff.

I mean, this is, we keep finding out more abuses of taxpayer dollars, and the best that we can get from Congress is, well, we're going to increase the deficit. continue all of Joe Biden's funding for the Green New Deal. Yeah, and that's it. And we're going to s continue to tax Social Security. But hey, we played a shell game, so uh here we go.

You happy with this? It's the folks over at Keltech, the Generation 3 Sub-2K. It's a fold-in-half rifle and now available in 10 millimeter. Folds in half. Optics stay in place.

And it deploys just as quickly as well. Zeroed and ready. Innovation with a twist. And you just rotate, just twist that rotating front end, folds down to 16 and a half inches for easy storage and transport. And it just as quickly deploys as well.

Takes clock mags, so you got a lot of capacity for whatever shooting need you have. You can even get a drum, 50-round drum, also. You got rails up top for accessories, integrated M-LOC, 5-pound trigger pool, internal buffer for softer recoil. I mean, it's ideal for legit everything. Put it in your backpack, go camping, church security, or just shooting fun, whatever it is.

It's awesome, and it's the new Sub 2K Gen 3 made by Keltech, all-American company. Everything from the parts, labor, all right here in the US of A. They stand behind everything they make. Learn more at Keltechweapons.com, Innovation Performance, Keltech, K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, here's some breaking news. Might want to look out in New Orleans. 11 inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail. Most of them are murderers. Yeah, I don't know how 11 dudes escaped from prison at one time unless they had help from the inside.

I mean, this is like... Uh that one show with Jeremy Runner. Mayor of Kingstown. I don't know how 11 gets out, but they escaped from the Orleans Justice Center midnight. This morning, early this morning, the sheriff said the escape was discovered during a routine head count at 8:30 a.m.

They said that they confirmed the escapees about 10:15 a.m.

So who knows how long they've been gone? The escapees, let me just read you the rap sheets: domestic abuse, illegal carrying of a weapon, illegal carrying of a weapon, illegal carrying of a weapon, murder, murder, murder, murder, aggravated battery, murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery. Three counts of attempted murder: murder, murder, domestic violence, murder, illegal possession of a weapon, murder. I mean, yeah, you're motivating Democrats towards these people. Democrats right now are breaking their ankles in a rush.

To meet with these dudes over margaritas right now. Yeah. So they are considered to be super dangerous and armed, armed and dangerous. They did capture one guy, 10 are still on the run. They caught one guy in a French quarter parking garage.

He was spotted. They got him, listen, using facial recognition tech on a Project NOLA camera.

So they got him. He fled on foot initially, but they were able to get him. Bruce Springsteen apparently fell down on stage. I didn't say God smack. No one said that.

That is a band. Not a reference to anything in particular. Oh, there it is. But he, oh man. Oh, help him up.

Life alert. I have fallen and I can't get up. He couldn't actually look. He literally couldn't. He was like a beetle.

That fell. And they had to lift him up. That's not a good look. You know what I'm saying? That's not.

Perfect. It's just not a good idea. Can I just watch this again? You can just let it. You know what?

Sometimes we just need to let it roll over and over again all the way to the end of the segment. I'm just. But Is it's just not a good look that he literally had to be hoisted up off the stage like a legit toddler. That's I've lifted my kids up like that. You guys, oh man.

Okay, so let's see. Oh, 101 degrees in Texas in May. I told you guys, we got yeated into the sun after like two days of 80-degree weather.

So apparently, we're gonna have multiple records broken over the next week. An early heat wave has already arrived. Cue everyone down here going, but it's a dry heat. It's a dry heat. You sweat all the same.

So technically, no. We have a lot more on the way as we are rolling towards the bottom of this. Second hour. I almost said third hour. Stick with us.

Our partners that help bring you the program. Burn a gun. Look, it makes sense to diversify your weapons array. I'm not going to tell you not to carry. I think you should carry a gun.

And I think that you should not be afraid to use it in defense of yourself or a loved one. I try to avoid gun-free zone areas because they're dumb and it's unconstitutional. And these people don't do anything to protect you. They just want the virtue signaling of saying gun-free. But I also don't want to make a political statement not carrying and then get turned into a statistic.

So Burna is a self-defense weapon. It's shaped like a gun. Like you got the Berna rifle, you got all these other kinds. But I think for the purpose of this, the Burna SD and their new compact launcher, the Burna CL, that's what you need to focus on. And they shoot chemical irrigant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away.

It doesn't care about stupid gun-free zone signs. It doesn't care about any of that. There's no background checks. There's no waiting periods. You don't have to pay a tax stamp.

There's none of it. It's sent right to your front door. And you are able to still. Have a means of protection when a private property wants to disarm you or a local or municipal restriction. And for college kids, too, that are too young to carry but also live alone.

This is a great idea for them as well. And it's super affordable. You can check it out. They have like different accessories and colors and all that. The Burna CL, it's like maybe just under seven inches long, really thin.

And it's, there's no, I mean, there's no recoil, easy target acquisition. And the SD, that's one of its best-selling self-defense options. You can look at all of them at burna.com/slash dana, b-y-r-n-a.com/slash dana. Brighten up your timely news consumption with the Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious, on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. And discrimination against black people.

We are in a mode of anti-blackness on steroids, and we refuse to be silent. We will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice. The antidote to anti-blackness is to be pro-black, and we will do it unapologetically. The United States government owes us a debt, and we need reparations now. I didn't know it was a call and answer session.

Welcome back. Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. That is Ariana Presley, who's talking about reparations. Man, Democrats are just... They just keep putting out bangers, right?

They just keep putting out bangers. I'm all for them doing this. Do it. Try it. F-A-F-O.

I'm all about it. Democrats introduced a federal resolution, once again, for reparations. I've got a lot of questions about this.

So, Summer Lee out of Pennsylvania led it. It was first introduced back in 23 by Corey Bush.

Now, don't you criticize that woman because she's got a man who says he's a wizard. Right? It was her bodyguard who says he's a wizard, and he can literally bring a plague upon you. I don't know. That's like l that came out.

She was paying him campaign money. I don't know. Anyway. They said uh That In this press conference, they want Presley says she wants restitution and justice and reparations, and I don't even know what that exactly means. I'm so tired of hearing off of the stolen labor, stolen land, etc.

etc. Can I just note that Every nation on earth. Without exception. has engaged in the practice of sla of slavery and it wasn't just uh black citizens that were enslaved either. I mean, by and large, it's it's a horrible thing.

It goes without saying. but it wasn't reserved also for just one group of people or another.

So my question is, how does this work?

So people who were never slaves want money from people who never owned them. Yeah. Okay. That still doesn't make any sense to me. How do you and so, like, Kane?

Let me, I'm gonna use Kane as an example.

Sorry, Kane. I just want to use you as an example. Your, and we'll just put it bluntly: so Kane is half Mexican. Mm-hmm.

So, your family wasn't even here. Half of you, they weren't even here when all that happened.

So, Do you only... Pay 50% reparations? Like, how does that work? That's a great question. Watts' family's from Puerto Rico.

How does that work? Is there no, like, Watt won't even hear? He's got to pay reparations.

So, we got to consider that. Plus, is there a system considering your family's history? Like, what? Yeah, so my family predominantly are Irish, which explains so much. and American Indian.

So when we look back through our family, our family records, we were on the Dawes roll.

So we were, my ancestors were forcibly removed on the trail of genocide by Democrats to. Go to Oklahoma and elsewhere. Excuse me.

So. How does that work? So, when my ants, and then my other ancestors, when they came over a way long time ago, I mean, the Irish were enslaved and they were treated horrifically.

So, how does that work? Is there like a grading scale? I think when you're also demanding that you and only you deserve recognition for past offenses You're also diminishing and trying to and attempting to disqualify everything else that everybody else is It's the human story. The human story is You know, because humans have the free will to choose evil and good. And part of the human story is, you know.

immoral activities such as this. Part of the human story is entire tribes in Africa that would conquer other tribes and they would literally sell them into slavery. I don't know where people thought that, you know, they were going when they were over there in the Ivory Coast and they were putting, you know, sending people through that famous doorway and trucking across the Atlantic to the New World and selling people to plantations. But I mean, it wasn't just a bunch of Englishmen over there that were selling people and they were working. In fact, what was it?

The. What was the one movie that was made, and it was on Netflix, and it got a lot of pushback, even from black historians, because they were glamorizing. One of the biggest tribes in Africa that was prolific in the slave trade. They made a lot of cash. trading Their enemies, other enemy tribes, they would war and they would capture and they would sell.

So what. I mean, so if you descended from that Tribe? And do you are you then partly responsible? For reparations, for paying reparations too? Like, how does that work?

That's how stupid this is. Let's remember where the word slave came from. It didn't come from some African descent, it came from a Slavic descent. countries, and they were actually white people who were slaves first. which is why the word slave was even What it is.

Well, what it says too is that, oh, it's okay in every instance but this. I don't think it's okay in any instance. But. This is the history that we have. I mean, one of the things with history is we look back at what You know, the people who came before us did, and if we don't like what they did, we say we're not going to repeat that.

That's the unfortunate aspect of it. But To demand that someone who wasn't involved involved be responsible for paying you is It is A lazy way to redistribute wealth. And the sad thing is, you're diminishing actual immoral activity by using it as a veneer for greed. And that's the truth of it. If like Ariana Presley and others calling for reparations want to get really mad, be pissed off at Democrats.

That perpetuated this. It was Democrats who did the trail of genocide, and it was Democrats who fought. To keep people enslaved. That is the truth. of the matter.

They fought for this. And their policies after continued to fight for it. The destruction of the black community through community, through urban planning, the likes of which happened under. You had under FDR and others. I mean, go back and look what happened, like when they were building roads and highways.

This was Democrat Central Planning. There's entire books on this. I have two in my library. That was Democrat central planning, and it was designed to divide and control. I've never understood how people can support the party that historically fought to diminish them at every turn.

The abolitionists were Republicans. The the people who wanted women to be able to not have to go to the poorhouse when their husbands passed away. To be able to inherit the farms that they worked on alongside of their husbands and families. Those were Republicans that fought for women to be able to do that. It was Republicans that fought for women to be able to cast a vote as an equal citizen of this nation.

And it was Democrats that opposed it at every step. that ideology. I hate breaking everything down to just Republican or Democrat. But It is that ideology that is still so pervasive today. I mean, think about the policies.

And it's even creeping over in conservative spheres. This is one of the reasons I get enraged. When I hear about people trying to expand welfare programs like paying women to have babies. They are a continuation of the same policy that chipped away at the nuclear family unit over the past several generations. and they're trying to doll it up as a conservative proposal.

It's asinine. Who is the party of higher taxation that makes it to where a family has to send both parents out of the home to work. Exactly. This is my point. I mean, if Democrats want reparations, maybe they should ask themselves to pay themselves then.

for diminishing and dehumanizing themselves. And furthermore, I want my reparations. My ancestors were forcibly removed, apparently, by Elizabeth Warren's ancestors back in the day.

So, what do I get out of that? I would like to know. My family was dirt poor. And my family came from a tribe that actually was pretty independently wealthy in Georgia back in the day. And they had everything confiscated and seized from them, and they were sent on the trail of genocide.

We're on the roll books. We're listed. My ancestors are listed on the trail and they got their numbers.

So I'm just curious. What do what do my ancestors get from that? Like, where does that come? What about the tribes that were relocated? Through that trail of genocide, they can even own their own land on Indian reservations.

Do you know that? Democrats have fought against that forever. If you're on a res, you can't even own your own land. The government owns it. It's actually not, and I think about it, it's actually not that much different from property taxes.

You never really own your own land, but you really can't even have it in your name on a res.

So That's, you know. Why? Why did they do that? Why did the government do that and disallow them to own property? Big question.

So If they're going to talk about reparations, they need to take it to their party and say, you owe us this because this is what you fomented throughout history. It is Evil to demand that someone else carry the penalty for another person's sin. God doesn't even do that. God doesn't pass on original sin. It's a myth that he does, and it's scripturally incorrect to assert otherwise.

He doesn't do that. You're not responsible for the sins of your father. And again, if people want to argue that you are, tell me, explain to me Jesus' lineage again. I just, it's divisive and it's hateful and it's racist. They're just racist, is all it is.

Lorraine notes that the Irish quarter and her German half of her family didn't get here until after it was over, and they were dirt poor.

So what about those? And what about black slave owners? Do there and there were some Native American American Indian slave owners. What about them? Here's the other thing.

What about people like my husband's family? who came over here in the eighteen hundreds from Germany. And there was a book written about his grandfather. Gustavus Lash. He was taken as a prisoner of war and he was in Andersonville.

The worst POW Camp. in the country. And I can't remember how many of them walked out. They had a ton of them in there. And to feed them, they would drive.

uh a live ox into the uh into the yard. and the prisoners would have to tear at it with their bare hands and teeth if they wanted to eat. They most of them died. Most of them died, and his my husband's grandfather was one of the very few that walked out alive, totally emaciated, looking like a concentration camp survivor, but walked out alive. There's newspaper articles written about him and all kinds of stuff.

He fought For the Union. He gave his health, he offered up his life. Sir, you telling me that that somebody his descendants Have to pay for something they didn't do? What about the people who lost their lives? fighting to free people.

You telling me that by way of their skin color, that they are just required to pay. It's racist. Ariana Presley is a racist, and these other people are as well. and they use their skin color as a gimmick. And it's sickening and it's divisive and it's evil.

It is a moral failing on their part. To demand reparations. You know, there are people that have suffered. I wrote, I have a whole chapter about this in my book, Grace Canceled. Because I write about all of this.

Human history is entirely imperfect and filled with error because humans are entirely imperfect and error-prone. You're continuing this pattern. by demanding something who are not responsible. to pay you for something you never endured. And when I look at the backgrounds of some of these lawmakers, You know, like people like Jasmine Crockett and others.

And they never experienced the poverty that I grew up with. Ever when I look at Hyana Presley's background. I mean She had every I mean she had a lot of stuff handed to her. She grew up in Chicago. She did Planned Parenthood advertisements.

You know, she was able to you know build herself And then she kind of like discounts that and acts like, you know, she didn't, none of this was available to her. She wouldn't be where she was if these opportunities had not been available, opportunities that she argues don't exist. It doesn't make any sense. It's evil and it's a perpetuation of the sin that they accuse others of. We have Florida Man on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of the second hour.

Ural's water is um I mean it's terrifying 'cause of stuff that's in it. In your sewers, municipal employees were doing a routine inspection. Routine inspection. Oh, we got to go look at this pipe. It's underneath this Florida road.

Let's send a little camera down there just to see. Oh my gosh, there's a gator sitting in the pipe like a people. Ha ha. Like a people. He's sitting there like a people.

Look at him. What? Juan's got it. I think Juan's got it. They were looking, it's this concrete pipe, and they were looking to see what, you know, the structure, et cetera, et cetera.

You know, as one, as skilled workers would do. And they lowered this camera down there and they saw a gator. It look it legit looks like he's sitting up. I can't even say the city's name, but they sh they posted a photo to Facebook showing the image of the Gator. And they use this remote-controlled camera to check.

The pipe, you know, they were looking for cracks and leaks and things like that. Oh, but then there's more. They also had video of him. Later walking around. The pipes were fine.

But he's just walking around. See, he's walking. Look at him with these. Just sitting like a people. Just sitting there chilling in the pipe.

Can you imagine?

Now that's a sewage pipe. I don't know. Like, is he going to come up in somebody's toilet? I don't know. I'm just saying.

They also kind of want to chill with you at your house, too. Not this particular Gator, but one of his friends. An alligator, another alligator, not the one that we had last week that knocked on someone's door. This is a new Gator knocking on someone's door. Come and knock on my door.

He got stuck in a folding chair. He needed some helps. Lee County Sheriff's Office posted a video to social media. A Gator was visiting front porches in Tortuga, and their deputies had to come because he got his head stuck in a folding chair. And as he approached the front door, He had the chair on his head and it was hitting the door.

It was almost like he was signaling for help.

So, clearly, the homeowner did not try to do it themselves. They called the professionals to come and help. My gosh, we got a lot more on the way. Third hour next. Stick with us.

Given the new allegations in Jake Tapper's book, do you have any concerns with President Biden's age or decline? And was there a cover-up by the Democratic Party? We're not looking backward.

We're going to continue to look forward. Certainly. I think President Biden made The decision not to seek reelection is a decision that House Democrats strongly supported. Hmm. Thank you.

So That's their talking point that went out clearly. No, no, no. We got to look forward, guys. We got to look forward. That's what we got to do.

We got to look forward. We're not looking back anymore. We're looking forward.

Well, wait a minute, what does that have to do with you guys covering up? Biden's, you know, I was thinking about this too. First, welcome back, Dana Lash with you, channel 347. Direct TV is the stream, the chats at Rumble. When they when When they were in that interview.

with Biden. Wasn't it CNN that uh ran the interview. And this is before the debate. Right. And His answers, they were like a ton of they had a ton of Jump cuts.

And I also saw all of these other stations like that this was like last year this article came out. There was a radio station in Milwaukee that said that they had edited. They did an interview with Biden. They edited portions of it per his campaigns request to ma and he ma to make they had to make him sound decent. But when he did that.

interview. That interview was in June. And they edited. his interview to make him sound Um Ascension? They all knew about that then.

So if you're If you're a a a news network. And you're doing a a pre-tape interview with somebody. There's a lot of people involved in that. you have your you know obviously you have the the talent that's sitting and doing the interview But you also have the Producers, you have like video editors, you know, you got a lot of people, right? You have a lot of people that are involved in this.

And then you also have to have the final product. Signed off on. There were a lot of people involved in that interview where Biden looked like a mess. and they all hit it. They all hit it.

They knew it. Even when scheduling and trying to orchestrate the debate between Biden and Trump. And I was reading later, there was one staffer that was saying. that they were really hoping that You know. He wouldn't.

Take the debate, that Biden wouldn't do the debate. Audio Summit 11. Listen to this. Jake Sullivan's like, I was so shocked. at his performance at that debate.

This was The acting here, they're all going for Oscars. Watch this. What happened in that debate was a shock to me. I think it was a shock to everybody. And I've made that point before.

Just finally, do you think in retrospect, given everything that's happened, everything we've talked about today, it was a mistake for President Biden to try to run again? One of the things about being National Security Advisor is that you're mercifully insulated from politics and political decision making. I was insulated from it to the point where while I was National Security Advisor, Uh, my spouse was running for Congress, and I had strict rules about what I could even do to support my spouse. He was so surprised by the debate, Kane, by Biden's debate performance. Jake Sullivan, who has been with the administration start to finish, he was shocked.

By the debate performance. I was shocked before the debate performance. I mean, can you see the you saw him talk? Oh, yeah. Do you think part of his job is counting on his ability to observe things.

And B. observant, Jake Sullivan's? Yeah. Well, yeah, I would imagine. Yeah, so that's why I don't buy this.

Yeah, I don't buy this from any of these cats. They're all trying to cover their backside because they're losing all their influence. And they know it. And This makes them look even, this makes them look even worse. This is so crazy.

Oh, they were all you know, audio soundbite. 12. He uh Jake Sullivan denies that Biden ever forgot his name. And he, I'm pretty sure this means that this did happen. This is a politico event.

Listen. The accusation is not that he could never perform well, it was that he couldn't do it all the time, that he was only able to function well for a few hours in the day, that he would have moments of forgetfulness, that he would, there's actually an accident in the book where it says he forgot your name in December 2022. He called you Steve a couple of times. Did that happen? I do not recall that ever happening, and I will tell you, Joe Biden knows my name.

Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah, that's yeah, that's right. Of course. I don't recall that happening. I was just as surprised as you were.

about Biden's debate performance. I was so shocked I did not know. that he was going to perform poorly. If you had watched him. At any point leading up to this, you would have seen clearly interviews, speeches that he gave.

walking across the lawn. I mean, you would have seen. We all knew the debate was going to go that way. We all knew that that was going to happen. All knew it was going to happen.

Listen to Booty Juice, who's now like, well. He's wait, do I want this one or do I want this other? No, no, not Booty G's. I'll get to him in a minute. Let's get to the other guy that looks just like him.

Bader O'Rourke. Bader O'Rourke is finally. He's trying to get in on this. Oh, yeah, I knew Biden was. Yeah, he's trying to cash in on this now.

Audio Sun Biden 9. Just to be clear. Biden should not have run again. And to be even more clear, he failed this country in the most important job that he had. In fact, the entire rationale for his presidency the first time and the rationale he tried to sell us on for his attempt to run for re-election.

Only I can stop Donald Trump. And he failed to do that. Where was this guy saying this? Oh, remember, he was quiet. He was super quiet because he was hoping that he would still get some kind of inter-party advancement.

Why is he coming out again? Is he thinking about running for something? Probably. What is he going to run for? He probably sees the weak bench these Democrats have, and he tells himself he has a chance.

Oh my gosh. He's like the. If you have a weak bench of Democrats, Bader O'Rourke is still the weakest on there. Oh my gosh. This guy's never met a protein shake that he liked.

It's true. True. Sidebar, sidebar, sidebar. Cybar. I can't stand like little tweebes like that.

Like little, just no, not. The heaviest thing that he ever picked up was his like Mexican made strat. It's like that. Lightest, that's the heaviest thing you ever picked up. But they all knew and he's trying to he's now trying to get in he's trying to get a piece of that influential pie Now, this is an advisor.

uh former advisor for booty juice poop booty juice new mom who's totally running.

Now he admits Like while all this is happening. And they're all doing this whole like, no, Biden's totally fine. that the prosecution of Uh the president. Trump at the time was, oh, absolutely, it was an organized effort. This is Audio Sunbite 13, take a gander.

Democrats are mad. Why the base is mad at some of the leaders in Washington is not because they're not left enough. It's because Chuck Schumer came out with no strategy, no forewarning, and just said, we're going to fold on the CR. I mean, I think he could have done a better job of explaining what the strategy was and what we're going to do, but there wasn't anything like that. I think Democrats are learning, and I'm going to agree with you that Democrats cannot only be the party of resistance.

We cannot, like, we resisted so hard between 2017 and 2024. We impeached the guy, like, we prosecuted him, convicted him of 34 felony counts, and guess what? He still got elected.

So I don't know how much. But they're admitting it. Like, oh, yeah, we orchestrated all of this. It was never about politics, and it was never about the American people. It was only ever about getting even.

I want to switch up. Switch up uh the discussion here because the Supreme Court yesterday, as you know, they started oral arguments for birthright citizenship. And the funniest thing that I heard or that I saw accompanying some of what the SCOTUS just some of what SCODUS said, they don't have. Uh they have audio recordings but they don't have the cameras in there.

Someone said that Kentanji Brown Jackson said the word injunction like Adam Sandler's Cajun Man character from SNL. Listen, this is uh I just have a 14. In this very case, If we have a series of non-plaintiffs of actually named people and they get an injunction, What? A what? A what?

Can I just hear the Injunction word. And they get an injunction. An injunction. Didn't. James Carville's ears perked up.

Injunction. Conjunction. Jung Chon. What's your function? Jung Chon.

What is Yeah. What is that?

Someone says she sounds like Adam Sandler's Cajun Man character. That's actually hysterical. It is, yeah. What? Was it like a miss Wh I'm just trying to figure out how you was she trying to pronounce it in a way that she thought was clever?

I don't know. She totally sounds like Adam Sandler's cage. And they get an injunction. An injunction. I'm sorry, Justice.

Brown Jackson. Yeah. A what? And then Jong Song. Is that like an injunction?

Almost, almost like that. All we need now is What's Her Face? Who is the spokesperson for Biden to come out and say Emirate us? Or Joe Biden to come out and say b uh Bogada. Pogada, si se poadway.

I feel like I'm saying a bad word when I talk Joe Biden, when when you do Biden Spanish. C'est Poadway. I'm against tyranny, too. Oh, that's right. Yes, you got to oppose tyranny.

Who can forget? Who can forget? Uh now With Democrats. Bernie Sanders, there's two interesting sound bites. First is Audio Sound Bite VII.

Where he's extolling The lost. representation of the working class with the Democrat Party. He says something right and then he says something wrong in our next audio.

Somebody, this is seven. Go ahead. I think the Democratic Party The reason the Democratic Party has struggled, in my view, over the last many years. It has lost Contact with the people it used to represent, which was the working class of this country. And I personally believe.

that if you have the guts to stand up to the oligarchs and you run a campaign representing the needs of working families You can A get a lot of small donations. And B, your program and your agenda will be strong enough to take on the big program. He does mention the same thing, he mentions oligarch. Do they know what an oligarch is? I don't think so.

Do they know? Does anybody on the left know what that is? Because they use this word. as this is like their pejorative du jour. It's somebody that Has benefited From like state-run industry privatization, things like that.

And they basically a very big, rich business owner that can call shots. and benefits from like the private partner or private state partnership. Bernie Sanders has only ever worked in government, and his wife worked for a school that got government money. What does that make him? Dare I ask if he's an oligarch?

How many homes does he have? Three? Yeah. Then he says, then he turns around. And he says this, uh audio's have made six, listen.

But why do you think more Democrats are not speaking up? lettership. Money? No, of course. If you speak up on that issue, you'll have super PACs like APAC.

Going after you in the same way Elon Musk goes after Republicans.

So, what people have got to understand is right now, where the corrupt campaign finance system is about, is that billionaires can put Unlimited amounts of money. Why do you think Elon Musk Has been the most powerful. Like George Soros then.

Okay, yeah, like George Soros. He says that Democrats don't speak out against Israel. about Hamas's war in Israel and Gaza. because they'll get attacked by super PACs. I think maybe they don't speak out not me and if they're talking about Fetterman.

Because Hamas literally attacked a sovereign entity and killed a bunch of people, including babies. That's probably why. Not so much the PAX. Golly. He's like one of those people that tries to present himself as so smart.

I actually think he's incredibly dumb. I don't know why people venerate Bernie Sanders and act like he's this super smart intellectual dude. He's a dumbass. He just doesn't seem as crazy. culturally as the other Democrats.

But some of the stuff he says is dumber. If you think about it, we got a lot more on the way.

Well, thank heavens we're here, right, to help out with that. All right, first up. A TikTok influencer was shot dead. Then we have During a live stream in Mexico, this was just right after we had the headline of Veracruz, a mayoral candidate, was shot dead in a live stream, shot and just walking through the crowds, crazy. This influencer, she's on TikTok.

She was doing a live stream from her beauty salon, and someone arrived at her door to deliver a parcel. And she returned to her viewers, she got a stuffed animal, and then moments later, she was dead. And there was blood everywhere. It's like on the live stream. And apparently, she was shot dead by an intruder in her salon, and they're investigating it.

This is insane. This is, it's just, it's crazy over there. This Kennedy Center employees announced plans to unionize. If you're a government employee, I don't believe in public unions. Private unions are fine.

Public unions, no, because the taxpayers are never consulted. And that's taxation without representation. And we killed a bunch of people that wore red coats for that.

So let's not do that. Let's see, men die of a broken heart more often than women. A new study. Yeah, I believe it. A new study finds women can be cold, heartless.

But they said there was a company that was studying it. It's the emotional stress that people suffer, like traumatic events, things like that. And that's classified as such. And Cash Patel is moving, big shake up at the FBI. He's moving.

On the platform X, he called on India to recognize Balochistan's independence, even asking New Delhi to host a Baloch embassy. The Baloch struggle is not just political, it's deeply personal as well. Enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, military raids are reportedly common in the region.

Just take the Pakistan Army Chief Asit Mounil speech on the Baloch movement. The Baloch movement wants India's recognition and support. Activists online are calling for solidarity, with many praising India's democratic values in sharp contrast to Islamabad's oppression.

So, this is a fascinating development that is happening right now. And a lot of people in the United States might think, well, How is this exactly affecting what's happening here? Because people are focused on domestic policy, trade. And of course, though lately, all eyes have been on POTUS as he's been over in the Middle East and a lot of headlines from that as well. Welcome back to the program, Daniel Lash with you.

We're at the bottom of this third hour. You can listen across the nation. Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program. We're at Rumble everywhere. We've talked about this before, and I remember I really started getting into this geopolitical issue in a very weird way.

I was watching, I love Grand Tour, and I love Jeremy Clarkson, and I love James May and all those guys, Richard Hammond. And I was watching James May go to India. And he was discussing some of the. Political earthquakes that were happening, particularly as India overtook China. with becoming the most populous nation on the planet.

And I thought, ooh, because that's always been a huge talking point from China, right?

Now, how does China factor into this?

Well, after the fall of Afghanistan, everybody remembers China was right there. They wanted mineral rights. They were offering Belt and Road Initiative off all kinds of stuff. And now we have the situation with Pakistan and India. China has been making overtures to Pakistan as well.

They want a tight alliance. But then we also, this is all because they look at India as a geopolitical threat.

Well, now, in kind of response to all of this, you have this new. Nation that's emerging and doesn't want to be yoked in to all the corruption and the economic disaster of these policies in Pakistan. All of this is reshaping this region. And it actually, I think, is What's more, shoring up India's power and influence further. And it's fascinating if you are looking as to how to limit China's geopolitical influence, especially since tensions with the United States have been increasing ever so much.

We talk about this every week. Joining me right now. We go back all the way to St. Louis. He's very good friends with my husband, actually, and he was Missouri Treasurer in 2024.

He ran for the House of Representatives. He's a historian. Karan Pooji joins us via video. And he first was like, you need to look at Balochistan. You need to look at what's happening here and the significance that this impact is having in this region, really kind of thwarting a lot of, you know, a lot of these, China's influence and a lot of this other power.

He's joining us to talk about what all of this means in the context of India and Pakistan, two huge nuclear powers. And it's good to see you, Karan. Thank you for joining me. Thank you for having me. It's quite an honor.

It's good. You have such great insight into this. And the tension with India and Pakistan has existed for quite some time. This has been happening for a long time, and there's a lot of history to it. But this development, of Balochistan or coming into its own as a new nation and seeking recognition from other world powers.

Talk to me about this because this upends this whole area and really reshapes the game. Yeah, it just so Balochistan has always had this different Identity. They've never really identified with Pakistan or India or even Afghanistan.

So they've always been kind of. their own people. They are their own ethnic group, their own cultural group. And you know, they got roped into Pakistan in 1947 when all the lines were drawn and. And that's where this whole this whole thing started was when the British left India.

And um they separated India and Pakistan. And uh So Balojan has always had their own identity, but they've always been kind of exploited by the Pakistani government.

So now they've recently just declared their independence. They've expelled most of the military from Balochistan. The Pakistani military has been expelled. And so they're They're just trying to be recognized now by the UN and by India, and I think that they have quite a bit of support. It looks like They've acquired weapons that might have been left over from the US when we exited Afghanistan.

And they've been using those against the Pakistani military.

Now, I don't know if that's a fact, but that's some of the. videos that I've been seeing and and things I've been reading on. And I noticed that India is also kind of really Uh, giving them some support, whether it's it's not, I don't know why it's not in any media outlets, but. It's it's a big deal because this could actually be the end of Yeah. Pakistan being the country as it as it is.

Yeah, and as as as really like the uh starting ground for a lot of you know some of the the the terrorist factions, et cetera, that we've been seeing and You know, I've always thought I never understood why the United States didn't make more, didn't make greater overtures towards India as an ally in, you know, business, tech trade, whatever. And it was always this relationship with China.

Now the tensions with China are increasing. China, obviously, and Pakistan, you know, they have an alliance. China is, you know, they were rushing in into Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul, immediately trying to talk to the Taliban about seizing up mineral rights. The interesting thing with Balachistan, and you just touched on something, was that when Pakistan, from what I understand, that separation from India, they felt that they were underrepresented and that it was like Hindu dominated. But then what are they doing to the people in Balachistan?

I mean, they basically, from what I understand, were enacting the same sort of treatment on others that they claimed they were receiving from India. Yeah, I mean they They were exploiting that region for all the minerals and all the rights there. And China is kind of going right into the area. And they want all those mineral rights too.

So, China is backing Pakistan in this. And, uh, And it seems like there's there's a lot more. Under the surface, that's not being brought out. And Balochistan just wants, people from Balochistan, the leadership and all those people, just the regular everyday people, they've been kidnapped. They've been, you know.

Oh, yeah. they've been treated like they're second class citizens in their own country.

So they just want their own. It's horrifying to read some of the things that they've been enduring. And it's horrifying to think, too, if China wins out in influence in that area and backs. Pakistan, I mean, what would that mean for those people? And what would that mean also for relations and national I mean, national security as it pertains to the United States in that area?

I mean, I don't see a good outcome of China's dominance in that area with Pakistan. No, if China dominates that area, then I mean, India is going to be uh on the receiving end of all the issues because they'll squeeze India and they'll they'll surround India and Take whatever resources economically, they'll crush India. And that's kind of been happening already with the Pakistan-India conflict, because Pakistan attacks India. And Indian interests. And then when India responds, it's called a retaliation.

It's like they responded. The escalation came from being attacked, not from responding and defending yourself against an attack. Yeah, and there's there's actually proof out there that There's tunnels that are going from Pakistan controlled cashmere into India and Yeah, exactly. They are you know they're they're able to send terrorists over. And Yeah.

Accomplish their missions and then they just hide back. Why isn't Pakistan actually finding those terrorists instead of? Blaming India. They should be joining India and helping find the people who are responsible for this rather than saying we take no blame in this. Right.

On their own, there's no way I I can imagine that they would be able to sustain or do what they're doing. I mean, I mean, clearly it it seems like nobody w you know, officially wants to come out and say it, but I mean, obviously they have an alliance, you know, with either China or Iran, some they have an alliance that's like helping them with those. Yeah, I think it's it's China because there's a there's a northern part of Kashmir which is controlled by China. And that they're they're trying to, you know, re reinstall the silk road from you know, the Middle Ages and all that. They want to they want to go right through Kashmir.

And it's gonna actually create another pathway into Balochistan to get the minerals from there. It's that economic corridor that's been so often mentioned. there with China and Pakistan. We're talking with our friend Karam Pooji over this issue with India and Pakistan and the emergence of a new republic, Balochistan. Why do you think that the UN is so hesitant To recognize them.

I mean, they do posture as recognizing and fighting for overpowered nations or nations under threat, but yet there's been nothing from them on this issue. I don't know. I mean, it's it's that's it's weird to me that this happened. It it happened just in a few days ago, uh, on the ninth, I believe, of Uh may But obviously, they're going to be hesitant because there's two nuclear powers that are about to go to war, and then you have China and Afghanistan, everybody surrounding this area. I mean, this could be.

it could go really well or it could go extremely poorly in And we could be the start of World War III then. Yeah. I mean, it could go sideways in the most horrible ways very quickly. I know that when POTUS was traveling in the Middle East, he was asked about India and Pakistan, and he was saying that he hoped that both sides, he didn't. Obviously, I feel like he's been.

When he met with Modi, he's been very friendly towards India, and he just seemed to kind of triangulate, stay 30,000 feet above it. Like, we hope there's peace. We hope everyone, you know, kind of backs down and backs away from these tensions rising further. But I kind of think that if it was to escalate, I mean, obviously, I don't think the administration is going to. Is going to come down on the side of Pakistan or anything of that nature.

What significance would there be in the administration, strategic significance, in acknowledging Balochistan in this? What tactic, what purpose would that serve to help quell this? Or would it or I mean, it could maybe inflame tensions more.

Well, I mean, if the US gets involved, if they get involved on the Balochistan side, then that'll ruin the relationship between Pakistan and the US. But it could increase the relationship between the Indians and do we have a great relationship with Pakistan though at this point?

Well, in 47, when. when um when the partition happened India went with Russia versus the US because the US backed Pakistan from the beginning. They wanted the air bases, they wanted all all the You know, whatever other strategic location from that, because I guess they were closer to Iran, they were closer to the Middle East.

So, they didn't back India in that.

So, it started off pretty rocky with India and the US, but now hopefully things will get better. Um Yeah, things have changed a lot since I think the forties as well. Yeah, they've changed a lot since the 40s as well. And with the partition, we're talking with our friend who's not just a history buff, he ran from Missouri House of Representatives from my home state of Missouri, Karampooji, on this issue of India and Pakistan and Balochistan, which is a new republic emerging. Pakistan doesn't want to lose that.

I mean, they would lose sea access, too, from what I understand. I don't think that they wouldn't have any coastal regions left. they would have a very small coastal region and in the sin. Where Karachi is. Yes, yeah, right, Karachi.

So that would be it. That would be it on the Gulf of Mont. That would be all that they have right there. And obviously, they would probably push back against that. How does India factor into this with Balachistan?

And he has been completely silent, but apparently, some reports are showing that they are actually. uh supportive of it Because for India it's great because Breaks up Pakistan. Yeah, you're dividing a copy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

So. that that gives them a strategic uh you know, that gives them a strategic advantage. If that were to happen. And the scary thing, the scary thing, too, and I think everyone sort of realized this for the first time after the fall of Kabul is: oh my gosh, China and minerals in this area and the economic corridors and the relationships that they would be building with these factions that are incredibly hostile to the United States. I mean, in addition to being hostile to India as well, which I think is a natural ally to the United States, that is, I mean, the emergence of Balachistan, I just have a very sun-zu look at this.

It's like, okay, well, it's divide and conquer. Nobody has to even do really anything except say, yeah, they don't really want to fall under the very despotic dominion of Pakistani leadership.

So it makes sense that they would want to break away and be their own republic. I'll give you the last word on this because obviously it's a new issue, it's a developing story, and it's one that we're going to continue to watch. But your final thoughts on this? Final thoughts? I mean, Pakistan is they've never they've not shown any kind of consistency since they've been a country.

I have a lot of friends from Pakistan, some of my best friends are, but I think their government is Very dysfunctional. They have not had a single Prime Ministers serve a full term. since the creation of the country.

So naturally, other, I don't think that it's a united country. With all the states the way they are. I think there's Punjab, there's the Northwest Frontier Province, which is mostly the Bataans. And the Pashtuns, and then they have the Sindh, and they have Balochistan. And none of those people don't mesh together, they don't identify with each other.

So I think that It could be a good thing. But at the same time, it's a very, very sensitive subject. Yeah, exactly. This is one definitely to watch. Karam Pooji, thank you so much for coming on to talk about this.

We'd love to have you back, explore this further, because obviously this is not going to be the final development of this. And I think it's just the beginning of an issue that's going to have long, long-lasting impact. It's reshaping a region.

So we're going to keep an eye on it. It's good to see you. Thanks so much for coming on today. Me too. Thank you.

I know it's kind of a, it gets into the weeds, and that's a very new issue, but you have to look at it overall in talking about Balochistan in the context of China exploiting. And a region. And the United States needing to recognize another great potential ally in that region.

You know, India is a very conservative nation. They are very open in terms of accepting and practicing capitalism. And there's a lot of games to be had there. Because, and they're a huge geopolitical threat to China. India does not have plans for world domination, but China sure as hell does.

So, and with Balachistine, it kind of reminds me in a way of like Kurds in the 90s with fighting Gazan tactics. Very interesting. Today's stupidity came. Out of Arlington, Virginia. They're banning their police from cooperating with ICE.

Listen to this. ICES, this is going to make Arlington County a magnet for terrorists, gang members, and human traffickers. If that happens, if it happens, are you going to reverse this policy? Oh, so it's going to make. They don't care.
