Soler Demo rental program at bestthotgrill.com. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, and we are here at the top. Actually, no, bottom. Of this first hour.
Why do I keep wanting? We're just at the top all the hours. I'm just gonna say that every time we come back. We're at the top. It's at the top of the hour.
It's what it is.
So we've been discussing Iran, and we've also been discussing.
Some of this other in the preliminary hearing for the trial. And you can hit up over at Substack, over at chapter and verse, because there's a really Lorraine has a really good write up of all of this that gets into it. What They're determining, basically to put it in layman's terms, they're looking at what's acceptable in terms of evidence and what's going to be admitted, what's g how they're going to play it, because there's a lot of obviously a lot of sensitive stuff in this. And they're making determinations about what Is going to be shown in the courtroom and then to the public at large. And if it's just video shown in the courtroom, then they can have the audio that plays to the audience because the Kirk family has very much wanted everything to be.
As absolutely as open and transparent as possible. And they wanted all of the information, everything to be. visible, which I can understand, especially considering everything that's happened. You know? In the past several weeks of this, the months of this, I mean, it's been a year now, really.
And so The uh Like I said, over at Substack, over at Chapter and Verse, we have daily write-ups. Lorraine has the write-ups, the preliminary hearing day four. We'll have a day five. They got into the ATF report. They got into evidence.
Yesterday, we had on Matt Tardillo, who Uh, broke down a lot of the ballistic stuff with us because there were people who were saying, Oh, it's 30 ought sucks. Cut out. I mean, despite the fact that I have a 30 out 6 and a family hunts with 30 out 6. And you also have to consider the grain or load. You have to consider trajectory because people were saying that, well, it was the exploding microphone that did it and not a it wasn't the right, it wasn't a 30 odd six.
But note that at no point in this preliminary hearing at all whatsoever has any of The defense, neither the defense nor the prosecution has brought up an exploding microphone. No one has talked about this. But then you have the, you know, the candy slop out there that's like, wow, that's just the Fed argument. That's just so dumb. It is.
But they spent, they were arguing over, yesterday they were arguing over how much of the Furry trans. Partner his his interview would be or his deposition would be shown. In the courtroom.
Now, one of the things that Lorraine noted today is because they've been talking about media violations. The defense yesterday, by the way, can I just say, I have never wanted to climb into my television and sucker punch an attorney before until I watched this defense attorney. Wasn't this defense attorney, he's handled pretty high-profile clients before? And this defense attorney gets up there and starts going after Erica Kirk. Shirts going after Erka Kirk.
And And I know I threw it in Slack yesterday, but It was kind of a longer bit of video, but he got up there and saying, Well, she can hold press conferences and that. And people were asking, Well, when does Erica Kirk ever know? Erica Kirk has never held a press conference. And then prosecution immediately, her attorneys hit back pretty quickly.
So, thank heavens. But. This um It is It's crazy to see. The hysteria and conspiracies. around This trial, this hearing, and the evidence, especially when the evidence is, the evidence is concrete, my friends.
And I have to, I'm a little, yes, I get a little indignant when I see people who don't even know our friend. Act like they're more upset than his widow. and attack his family. As And they're acting like, well, we're just doing it to find answers. No, you're not.
You're doing it because you're a desperate, pick-me, soulless, hollow creature. Who is trying desperately to feel like you belong to something? It's pathetic and weak. And if I could deport you, I would. I have nothing nice to say about any of these people.
And none of these people would dare say this stuff actually to anybody's face in the public square. It's insane. I liked what Asmund Gold said yesterday about all the okay, this is censored. But this is cut fifteen. Watch.
Seeing Candace panicking? Candace is a fing retard. Candace is a retard, and the moment, like, anybody that takes her seriously is also a retard. Yeah. Like, does she say things that I agree with occasionally?
Of course, a lot of people do. I mean, there are things that I agree with Karl Marx on. Does it mean that he's right? Doesn't mean he's not a retard.
So, yeah, I mean, she's trying to make a buck off it.
Well, I think that Candace Owens wrote herself into a corner with getting so extreme that she's basically attracted some of the most mentally ill people inside of her audience. And because of that, you know, I think what happened is that she kind of. It's like once you start riding the tiger You can't get off. You can't stop being that crazy conspiracy theory person. And he's right.
So it's Asmagold. He's one of the top streamers. And he's right.
And he's common sense. He fights with Hassan Piker all the time. And He really, they really target him. They've targeted him really badly over the past couple of years. But he's, you know, I see some of those people might not like the words he uses, but he's correct.
He's absolutely correct. Excuse me. on all of this. And To see just the arguments that have been coming out. If you missed, by the way, the interview.
If you missed the interview that we had with Matt Chardillo, because we went into everything from, he was explaining some of the conspiracy theories, especially like the exploding microphone, et cetera. Uh Everything that has been proposed As an alternate theory has been entirely obliterated. in court by evidence. That is unassailable. It is every single bit of it has been debunked.
The fact that The claim that the killer wasn't even there on campus, he was. The fact that even questions about how he turned himself in. His own parents and family were even saying, yes, that's him, that's our son, that's our brother, he's the person. He confessed to it. They're not gonna accept anything.
They're not going to accept a single thing, these people. Because it's not about the truth, it's about the drama. It's not about the truth, it's about the sensationalism. These people are as bad as legacy press. It's incredibly frustrating to hear some of this stuff.
And I gotta say too. I know some people were out there. Telling I guess. Maybe it was some of the woke Rikers or other people who have been watching. this preliminary hearing.
saying that Well, now I really hope people are quiet this week, and I hope that it's sort of like extorting people to mind their P's and Q's. for this preliminary hearing. And I found that incredibly rich Because a lot, some of the people that are asking for that have been the very people who have been trying to make money off of fanning the flames. And I'm just I'm not sure. I I I'm just not going to do it.
And I hate doing this, but we don't really talk anymore. But Cut 16. Go ahead, play it. That's what I'm talking about. In courtrooms where I'm from, we operate within the balance of evidentiary rules.
And all we care about is what is admissible and what isn't. And all the stuff around like conspiracy theories and so on. It's not admissible. And to those who still have their doubts about Tyler Robinson, I think it's time to put up or shut up. I've seen some insane things on the internet, mostly championed by Candace Owens, that are, it is so loony tinfoil hat out there.
I think she's in her own search for what. She believes happened here. And it doesn't necessarily make them a nutcase to not trust the official government narrative. You can, either you have evidence that you can introduce. under the federal rules of evidence or you don't.
And if you don't, I don't want to keep talking about your theory that there were at least 11, there's a difference in 11 versus 14. Israel only cell phones on the campus of UVU that day. Charlie's criticisms. of his Jewish donors and his threats to leave the pro-Israel cause. Right before he was murdered.
Both of these are reasons why, all along, I've said we should be at. You should not be saying to her or anybody else, you're not allowed to ask that question. And I say, it's time to put up or shut up.
Okay, that the dishonest framing is what really gets me. And what bothers me about this is. You can't Say that You're not going to entertain the theories when you literally have spent the past years creating content, entertaining the theories, and making money off of entertaining the theories, and fanning the flames, and attacking anyone who questions you entertaining those theories, literally telling your own audience to go F themselves. That's really, you can't really have it both ways. And I reject the dishonest framing again where.
It was stated, well, you're told that you can't ask questions. Please by all means show me where anyone said that. Play the clip. Link the tweet. Because no one said that.
That's a straw man argument.
So you can dodge. No one said you couldn't ask a question. People were saying, stop spreading conspiracy theories that are entirely baseless and utterly retarded. That's what people are asking. People have been saying stop going after and accusing a widow of murdering her own husband.
That's what people have been saying. To diminish it down to, well, people were just asking questions, and you can't tell people to not ask questions is as dishonest as what the legacy press does any day of the week. It's dishonest. That is not being a straight shooter, nor is it having courage. It's dishonest.
And I'm I remember in the beginning, there was this resistance to criticize or even condemn Owens for some reason, Gal Sharpton. Why? Because you're afraid of her flying bot monkeys that are going to come after you? Who gives a rat's backside? How long have we been dealing with the left and this stuff?
The tactics are so broke and just cringe because they're old. These are tactics that were maybe kind of I don't know. New ten years ago? We saw this stuff during Occupy Wall Street. This isn't anything new.
That's why so many of us can look at it and go, okay, this is completely inorganic. This is totally turfed. I feel like some people are afraid to question it or criticize it because they don't want to lose the eyeballs that. the perception of being in league with that person brings. It's about clicks, just so you know.
The way that social media has been structured and the way that algorithms work, it rewards the least common denominator, just the lowest IQ slop That is out there. It is rewarded. I mean, on X, even, if you have these features where they try to get you to write long form pieces on X, but then they deprioritize them because they're long form pieces. I mean, it's just word-hearted. It's just everything is stupid the way that it's all structured, but it's structured to just shovel slop in your mouth.
That's all this says. That's why you can't have genuine discussions about anything because the algorithms don't reward it. People get dollar signs in their eyes, and they decide to debase themselves even more by getting dumber and dumber and dumber. When we turn into an idiocracy, it will be aided greatly. By the structure of social media and its use of algorithms as an editorial tool, which is why I've always said we've got to create.
The Programming of algorithms to be editorializing under the FCC's Communications Act. Section 230. I don't want to get it, I don't want to obliterate anything. I want to just make it, if you're editing your algorithm to promote certain things over others, that is an editorial process that every other publication in the world has to abide by a set of federal regulations as a result. And so just because it's a different form of editorializing doesn't mean it's any less editorializing.
So long story long. I just think it's cowardly. It's just a cowardly dodge. And I don't like saying this about people that I know. But it's the truth.
And I'm just not going to sit here and be told that, oh, well, people got to mind their P's and Q's this week when you were spending a year making bank off of content that fanned the flames that did precisely exactly the opposite of what you were asking for here. It's just inconsistent and it's dishonest. If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing.
So that's why I'm grateful for the work of Concerned Women for America. For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights and the protection of our kids. And they're taking the fight to state legislatures, to Congress, and even the Supreme Court to defend our girls and preserve common sense. This Title IX month, CWA has launched its Defend Our Girls campaign. When you give $20 or more, you'll receive one of CWA's educational resources on gender identity or sexual exploitation.
Give $35 or more, and you'll receive both. These are practical tools to help you navigate today's culture with truth, confidence, and clarity. And your gift helps protect parental rights and defend opportunities for girls and ensure that families have a voice in the policies shaping our country. Join the fight today. And visit concernedwomen.org/slash Dana.
That's concernedwomen.org/slash Dana. And together, we can defend our girls, equip parents, and protect the next generation. The Starbucks Ice Torchata Shake and Espresso is back for the summer.

It's Friday. I don't know why I said it like this, but I did. Where do we want to start? We got a bunch of stuff still to hit with immigration and some deportations and. Uh let's see.
We got the flocking cameras, we got tiny European EVs. We got it all, man.
Sounds like a crazy club. We got DJ Bokchoy with knees like biscuits. Anyway, that was Stefan. All right, so where to start? You know what?
Let's get into...
Some of this law and order. that we have. I saw this h well actually I saw this tweet. There's a couple. of these.
This is happening in Texas.
Now Full disclosure. I like my PD. I like my PD in my town. I love them. They're great.
And I like Fort Worth PD. Fort Worth PD. They were really amazing and really worked with our family when we were going through it back, you know, a few years ago with like threats and all this stuff, and they were great. Mm-hmm. But I gotta call balls and strikes on stuff.
Uh And what have I always said? First off, I don't say back the blue universally because That's insane. I don't say anything universally except, you know. Love Jesus, that's it. But um You gotta call balls and stripes and nobody dislikes bad cops more than good cops.
In fact, I think I actually had a Uh An officer sent me this one story.
So the first was, because there's two different stories here, but they're both in Texas, and they both had to do. With I guess the gay pride stuff. This was like at a gay pride event or something like that. It was um June 27th, it was the Trinity Pride Fest, Trinity River. Trinity Pride Fest in Fort Worth.
And There were There was a video. of a street preaching team. led by an evangelist Who Engaging for the police there engaged with them and they were threatening to arrest. members of their team. And there was a female officer that Was get what is the look on her face, by the way, and that still.
What in the world? I'm sorry, that just totally took me out of my train of thought. Holy cow.
So, a cop was saying that she was threatening to. Um give them uh cite them and give them a ticket. Because They were apparently preaching about Christianity and saying that, you know, pride is a sin and all that stuff. And so, and it. was a video and it was posted online.
Yeah. So There was another cop. I guess at also in Texas. Where they told a Christian preacher that he would be ticketed. For any offensive speech, for saying things like homosexuality was a sin, or if he called someone.
I can't say that that F word, can I? Not the four letter F word. But the It rhymes with maggot. Oh, that one? That one.
Because they said, no, you can't say. And I think that that was just, not that he was saying that word, but I think that the guy was. Um saying like, well, what word Is this offensive? Could I be cited for this? If we we have this video.
Um I was really shocked actually This is Texas. I was a little surprised to hear some of this stuff. When they were talking about this. Because they were out there and they were literally just simply saying, like, if you called. A male ACER, a guy, and they were talking about this on camera.
One of the officers said that if you called a biological male a sir, that's a gray area and could potentially you could apparently potentially be cited. Under what I have no idea. Under what authority, under what law, I have no idea. And then they said if this preacher continues to preach in a public space, that is. Also, where the pride of it is.
then you could be arrested for trespassing. But if you're on The easement. And you're in public. That's not trespass. You're on the easement.
The guy's literally standing on a sidewalk.
So what in the world is going on?
Now I know that the department said that they were immediately investigating it and they were going to be taking these officers into, I guess, legal training is what they were saying. But What they were arguing is this, and I don't, and I still don't agree with this. Because it's not right. One of the officers in the video was saying that, well, this group pulled the permit that's required to hold this event with the city so that space becomes their space. That's absolutely not even supported by law.
That is not even remotely supported by law. In fact, As we learned with the water park, remember just last month, the whole water park and how they were, it was a public water park, taxpayer-funded, and they were going to have like a Muslims-only event and they were purposefully excluding Christians and all of their marketing material. You can't do that. You cannot use a public space to exclude against any protected classes. And that's considered religion falls into a protected class.
So that's a part that goes both ways. It doesn't just to protect, you know, like Muslims or any kind of minority subset. It protects Christians, it protects everybody. That's how it's that's how they use it for public grounds.
So that wasn't even correct, what they were saying. Do we have some of this? If we have a little bit of it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's play a little bit of this. Because this was wild to hear.
Means like music, not talking. If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem with constitutional violation of your rights. If you shut us down for yourself, no, if they are offended by your speech, okay, then I'll write you this nick in, then we'll go from there. Wait, you're going to take us for offensive speech? Yes, absolutely.
Are you serious? Disorder speech. You're going to cite us for offensive speech. It's called disorderly conduct. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Disorderly conduct has to be accompanied by conduct. This is the conduct of the city. I'm a retired police officer myself. For who? 26 years, federal law enforcement.
So it's federal.
So this has nothing to do with local. Wow, it has nothing to do with local. Do whatever you want me that you can do. Whenever we say it says 80 decimals, y'all know the law so well, I'm not gonna let y'all know.
So, I just want to clarify: if anything is said that's offensive, you're gonna write it a ticket. If someone complains that your language or what you're saying is offensive, it's pretty loud. Wow. Wow. So that was not correct to say that.
And I will say the police department, they immediately came forward and said, yeah, that officer is inaccurate. That is not correct. That is speech that could not be ticketed. And they, and that was at June 27th, but the video is just like coming out, making the rounds. How it started was they were saying you can't use the bullhorn because that violates the city ordinance.
But then the goalpost moved with that officer that was responding. Then it went from, The bullhorn to merely the things that were being said into the bullhorn when they were, because apparently he was just like talking about scripture and stuff.
So. That and then there was a a video that was posted July 8th. From a guy talking about another officer saying that a biological male. Calling a biological male a male is a gray area that could be sightable at some point. And uh that's it.
That's no. No, no, no, no, no, no. First off, None of that is correct. That female cop right there, her and I would have had some words. Because none of that is, and if she would have cited me, I would have sued her.
So. Yeah, that's not. Even remotely accurate. Free speech is free speech. I don't give a rat's backside who pulled the permit.
I can't tell you how many times I've myself pulled permits for rallies, like back in the old Tea Party days, with organization, all of that. That does not mean that you own that space.
So, like when we did stuff under the arch, One of the first big tea parties that we had. Um, when we and they really went on to us, like the leftist groups never ever had to pull permits or make sure that they had portage ons or that they had in, they were insured, but the democratic leadership they were like, we'll literally cite you and we're we'll be there and we'll break up your event if you don't do any of this stuff. Uh, so we were forced to do it, it was so punitive and stupid, but there you have it. But when we had to pull permits, um, the uh that that did the steps under the arch did not become our property, that's not how that works. And again, public property cannot be used to the exclusion of another protected class.
That's the law, that is the law that has been held for years. That's you can't take taxpayer-funded things and exclude other protected classes. That's the way it is. And again, we just had this issue with the water park here in Texas that was a publicly funded water park because it was taxpayer supported.
Now, Harmony Dillon had said their civil rights team was looking into it. She tweeted this earlier already. She had said that they are on it, they're looking into it. And they're going to see what, if any, violations there are.
So yeah, that's the That's the kicker. You can't Dude, there was nothing that these preachers that were doing that were incorrect. I mean, if you want to say your bullhorn's too loud, fine.
Okay, noise like decibel level, I can get. I get that. Especially if it's right in front of a business. I get it. Mm.
But you can't tell people that, well, if you're using the wrong pronouns, that's what they do in the UK. We are not about to do that here. And I'm going to tell you, this is an area where people are very litigious. That's not an area that you want to put a wrong foot into.
So, I'm glad that the department reacted so quickly and said that's, I mean, they didn't make any bones about it. They were like, that's wrong. It's wrong, and we're going to do something about it.
So, I appreciate that they did that. And that's kind of, I think, fitting of how they operate.
So, I want to extend credit where credit is due here.
So, that's good on them. But, yeah, in the UK, we can't get close to that point. We cannot get close to that point at all.
Now, A couple of other things to get into. Speaking of Texas, let me touch on this real quick.
Well, we have like this minute left.
So I was looking at fundraising and pulled this up. for the Senate race, James Tallarico has raised $30 million so far. He's raising a lot of money. His overall fundraising since he started this in September is now. More than 70 million.
He is building a huge War chest.
Now, 97% of the donations were $100 or less. And their campaign says it's mostly teachers. And he uses PAX, so I'm not going to pretend that he doesn't. I'm not going to go along with his makeshift. Or his fantasy that he doesn't use PAC money or anything of that nature.
He's almost tripled Paxton's quarter two haul. His second quarter haul. And It's going to be close. We're going to talk about this race because there's some sticklers here. And I'm telling you, you're going to get a gun control guy that is going to obliterate.
Your district, our district. This can't happen. We got a lot more on the way as we move. Partners that help bring you the program. Longtime partners of the show, Super Beats.
You guys know the Super Beats heart shoes, right? Super easy to take to choose, tastes like candy. It's like the healthy, it's not candy, but I'll just call it that. It's like the healthiest kind of candy you could ever have. Number one beet brand in America for 10 straight years, Texas born and bred company, Christian conservative company.
And they were founded out of UT's Health Science Center. And it's all based on research that was focused on blood flow and nitric oxide to help athletes, right?
So, what they've discovered with super beets is that this really greatly aids blood flow. With heart health, which also supports heart health, healthy blood pressure, circulation, daily energy, two chews is all it takes.
Now, they have like the chews, you know, have been like a berry flavor, and it's all, they don't have additives, there's no artificial sugar coloring or any of that stuff.
Now they have a limited edition watermelon flavor. I have not had this watermelon flavor yet. It's apparently en route. And I cannot wait to try it because if it's what I think it's going to be like, I'm going to eat the whole bag. Right now, you can get it at human.com/slash Dana.
And you also can pick up a free 30-day supply before they sell out. That's human.com slash Dana. It's the new limited edition watermelon flavor. When it's gone, it's gone. Uh The Starbucks Ice Torchata shaken espresso is back for the summer.

So You all rem Tim Walls is still a thing. He's still there. You guys remember Tim Waltz, right? Yeah, it's Tim Waltz. He's last month.
Tim Walls and his Board of Pardons. issued a pardon to this dude named Tu Liu Vang. who had been in prison just because Just because, guys. Do you believe that? Because if you do, I have a bridge to sell you.
No, he was in prison because he had raped a girl for years, starting when she was 10 years old.
Now who's on that uh Who's on the portal? Pardons. Let's see. Uh let's see. No, no, no, here I got it, here I got it.
Oh, oh, Keith Ellison. Who knew? A. G. Keith Ellison, right, and Walt himself.
Uh waltzes appointed Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court. And they were trying to stop. Veng from being deported. I think raping a 10-year-old is grounds for deportation. I don't know about you.
I think it's grounds for death penalty. But, you know, I'm not in charge. Were I, things would be mighty different.
So they decided to pardon him because they. wanted to remove the conviction on his record so they couldn't deport him. back to Laos, where he's from.
Okay. And that's what they were trying to do. They were were trying to pardon a literal convicted child rapist.
So He could stay in the country. Because when he was convicted, he lost his legal status, right?
So after he was convicted, he lost his legal status. Following the conviction, they placed him in these removal proceedings. And then there was an issue, a final order of removal that was issued by a judge. And The reason that he was pardoned, as I was explaining, is so that they could remove the conviction and say, no, the qualifying conviction was what made him eligible for deportation. We have removed that qualifying conviction.
We'll then enter Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Let's play this video because he weighed into this. and revoked it. Watch. Just weeks ago, a convicted sex offender and a foreign national was shielded from deportation by the governor of Minnesota.
Laotian national Tu Li Vang was convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in the state of Minnesota. He even tried to pay his victim for her silence, and he called his heinous crimes A minor thing. Just days before this foreign sex offender was scheduled to be deported, Tim Waltz, the governor, issued him a pardon. setting him free to once again in danger. The children of America.
Well this week I revoked his legal status in the United States and as a result federal agents took him into custody and as of today he has been removed. from the United States. Because of our action, this foreign criminal will never pose a threat to any American. Ever again. Americans must never be forced by their elected leaders.
to live alongside foreign sex criminals who have no right to begin with. to reside in our country. This administration will always stand with the American people. and defend them. from violent criminals.
Mm. So and good for him.
So Waltz is being r just absolutely obliterated, obviously, because of this. Uh the decision when they When this, to pardon him, this was handed down like at the beginning of June, I think. And it was the State Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, who I mentioned, Keith Ellison, Tim Walls himself. They decided to give the guy a clean slate. That's it.
Acclaim slate. This is what at the time they even praised him in a letter. When they told him what their decision was, it said this, and I reading from the letter quote. Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction. That was from the executive director, Carly Stark.
Now the guy when he was arrested. He tried to blame cultural norms. He said, this is my culture. Like you can't You can't get mad at me because this is my culture. That's like literally how he was trying to save himself in this.
What he offered her ten dollars at one point to keep the rape quiet. Ten whole dollars? No, not ten whole dollars. You know, my culture is to stab rapists in the neck. And then let them bleed on the floor.
That's my culture. Yeah. I think my culture wins.
So he pled guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct, so that spared him from going to prison, right? And then now they've got this insane pardon.
So I, man alive. I don't know. This is crazy. This whole thing, he came in in 94 as a kid. And then Clinton gave him legal status, but then that was revoked after his conviction, and then he just stayed.
So this has been the way that they portrayed this though, and you guys, I know some of you saw the reporting on it. The way they portrayed this is that big, bad DHS, they went after this poor man. who has been in the country, Kane, since he was a child.
Now wait a minute. He came over as a child. But then he said that the excuse For the rape was at his culture in Thailand. That's the culture. But he's been here since he was six.
So, how in the hell is that his culture if he's been here since he was six? He's no product of that culture. He's just a rapist. And he said, yeah, it's normal. He blamed her even.
said she should be arrested because she enticed him. A ten-year-old. If I was the judge, I mean, if you're a judge, I got to give the judges of these cases major kudos because I would have just pulled out a revolver and popped him between the eyes. There's no way. That's wild.
He was like, no, this is my sister culture. And they were trying to save him from being deported. And thankfully, Rubio was like, nah, that didn't happen, and yanked it and facilitated the deportation. Send this guy back. I I But have you heard that before?
How often have we heard this? I hear it more most often these stories that come from Europe, particularly like immigration stories from France, where they're like this, they've had a couple of these where judges intervened and they're like, oh, well, you know, he can't help it. He raped this woman because that's their culture. What culture is that? That's just crime.
That's crime.
Now That's I mean There are a couple of these stories. that are very, very similar to this. And I'm so glad that Secretary of State's watching them and that they're getting in and they're getting these guys out. But man, this is just it's it's wild. I don't know how As a father.
You can look at this case. Tim Waltz and look at this case and think, you know, Let's pardon this guy. He was so worried about being viewed. as not being hospitable to immigrants, illegal immigrants. that he actually was citing against the victim.
In favor of a rapist. to improve his political image. Selling at a 10-year-old. In my view, Tim Waltz isn't much better than the actual rapist because. Tim Walls would facilitate child rape six waste a Sunday if it helped his political career.
You cannot tell me that after he looked at the details of this case, which are pretty brutal. I mean this guy, this girl was not a willing participant. She was threatened. She was intimidated. She lived in fear of her life.
And Tim Wallace looked at the details of this case. And thought, you know, it's going to look real bad for me if I'm seen as allowing this guy to be deported.
So let me go ahead and just expun. Let me just pardon him. Clear as slate.
So that he can stay here. And that victim would have to live every day knowing that this rapist had been pardoned and had a clean slate. but it magically did not clean the trauma. She didn't get a clean slate of trauma. It didn't remove the trauma.
It didn't remove the physical abuse and the fear that she had lived with for all of these years. What a despicable, horrible man, Tim Walls is. We, I mean, I am so grateful that they lost. Because more and more stuff comes out about this guy's decision making, and it is just disastrous. And Vanguard's This rapist was trying to get out of his punishment, the accountability.
And he was saying, no, no, no, I'd take responsibility for my actions. No, he made excuses for them the whole time. I mean, they supported his petition to be pardoned.
Now, he had also, by the way, um. Was detained in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge when they had ice there cracking down on illegal aliens.
So he had never, this guy had lived here illegally in the country for this long. And never once. decided to make himself a legal citizen. Of course, he's a rapist.
So if he doesn't care about violating that law, do you think he's going to care about violating a lower a punitively lower immigration law? No. Because he's a criminal. And by the way, if your culture is rape, I don't want you here. I don't feel bad about saying that.
You should feel bad about having rape as part of your culture. Only barbarians who belong in the Stone Age have that as their culture. That's not a culture either. That is. That's a crack.
and your humanity. I don't know. Just stunning. But I'm gl but thankfully now he's deported, so he can go he under over he's gonna try to cross back in illegally. I don't know.
We'll see. A couple of other things to get into.
So we were getting in, we've covered everything from World Cup, the prelim trial, our prelim hearing ahead of the trial. Apparently they're coming back on September 1st as well because they didn't quite get everything. Wrapped up today. There was a lot of questions as to whether they were going to finish on time. Even.
And they, I think, part of that, do you get the sense that part of it was the defense attorney just objecting over absolutely everything and dragging it out as much as possible? Because it really felt that way. I'm trying not to be. I'm trying to look at this very clinically and weigh each of the actions. based on the the Merit of legality based on legal merit, but it was just very difficult with that defense attorney because I saw so many clips where just felt like they were dragging it out to the nth degree.
A couple of things. We were there's been this story about the flock cameras that have been circulating. You guys see these flock cameras, these basically it's like CCTV, but it's everywhere. License plate reading flock cameras. There was a video that circulated earlier this week of a woman who was falsely accused of stealing a package from someone else's porch, and they were trying to use what they claimed was flock footage to cite her for it, but yet she had her own footage.
showing her At actually her house and driving, being in a completely different part of town. And had she not had that footage. she probably would have been. They probably would have cited her for theft. And you know, she would have had that on her record.
This is something we're going to dive into next week because we're kind of short on time right now. But Houston police say they have an investigation into now people are reacting against these flock cameras, they're getting cut down everywhere. This is very similar to what happened in France when they started having their speed cameras, their red light cameras. They went around at night and they tore all of them down and set them on fire. Yeah.
We're getting close to that here. We have more on the way as we roll the folks who won't make the program possible. It's the friends over at Relief Factor. You guys are very familiar with Relief Factor. And with Relief Factor, this is all about having a 100%.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, and we are at the top of the second hour, by the way. Always good to be with you guys as we get your weekend set up and off right. I wanted to bring up because I have a couple of things here. This one I don't have on the rundown, though.
Apologies, guys, but I did. It was something I was tweeting about earlier today because we've talked a lot about it. And this is something I think in the coming weeks that I want to explore in greater detail, kind of as part of the. You know, battle against Red-Green alliance and all of this, because I think this is very much a part of it.
Now, It's about data centers.
So let me. We've talked about this quite a bit, Kane, I think, before.
So let me kind of set it up like this. The situation with the data centers is I think A confusing one. But I also think that there is a lot of chaos being created, and I don't think it, I know it, being created by foreign entities.
Now, case in point, we've talked about this with we talked about this with the Yates too, Stephen Yates, I think. Yeah. So there's a big piece in the Wall Street Journal today, or sorry, not Wall Street Journal, New York Times.
Now, let me tell you, New York Times gets a lot of stuff wrong, but every now and then they get some things correct. And This, the byline for this one, when I was looking at who wrote it, it is not one of the crazier ones either. It's a pretty kind of one of their more milquetoast reporters. Mm-hmm. And I'm going to have this as a separate piece that I'll probably have it sometime in the next couple of days for you.
Yeah. But I want to make sure that you have this, so I'll give you the non-firewall. thing. But basically it's this. The Data centers, the New York Times said that it's become very obvious, and Stephen Yates even confirmed this too.
and other people in the administration, Ruby has talked about this before. China, Russia, they say, and to a lesser extent Iran, have sought to use state media outlets to turn the controversy over data centers in the United States into a, quote, domestic fracture point.
So they were studying a lot of this coverage, and they said that between January and June. State media in China, Russia, and Iran mentioned data centers roughly 700 times, according to. independent analysis. They said that was an average of nearly four times a day, even though it remained a small fraction of overall. published content about AI development.
They said that the outlets have featured articles and posts aimed at an American audience, as well as content highlighting criticism of data centers by people like Tucker Carlson and other, and they mentioned other members. Interestingly, they're all woke Rikers.
Now, I'm not saying, by the way, if you have this viewpoint that you're a woke Riker, but I am cautioning you that a lot of the chaos from this is coming from a specific subset of the commentariat. And they've also highlighted links between American AI companies. They are criticizing the race to develop the technology as reckless and trying to paint it as an Israeli thing, which is insane.
So here's the truth of it, and I mentioned this on X. There is A lot of evidence, guys. A lot of evidence that's pointing towards. A foreign psyop. Grooming Americans into opposing all data centers.
Now, this isn't, and I want to be very, very clinical in how I describe about this. I am not giving an opinion about data centers at all right now. I likely think like you do. The future is the future. Like it or not.
We are on a certain trajectory, like it or not. This is like back during when CDs became MP3s and record companies were freaking out about how are we going to control how people are consuming music and how do we protect IP and how do we do all of this? And there was the Napster fight. And what was the other one, Cain, besides Napster? There was another one, I thought.
Or maybe I'm crazy. Wasn't there like another one with Napster? There's like two different places. Limo, thank you. Thank you, Phil.
Limoire, that's right.
So The Trajectory And It is what it is. There's not going to be anything much that you can do to change or alter it.
So what we have to do is adapt and acclimate. There is a good way and a bad way to approach. Data center construction. For sure. A good way and a bad way.
There's a million ways to approach that are good and a million ways to approach that are bad, even getting into how they're zoned, how they're built, where they're built, et cetera. Right. That is not, now I'm going to tell you, that is not any different than any other zoning fight that we've had.
So I don't want it to seem like an insurmountable fight to you. Because like we just defeated a high density project here in my town. We also are dealing with the early stages of data center exploration here in our town that we are going to be very involved in. It requires, Americans, your involvement. You can't just sit back on the periphery and think somebody else will handle it, talk radio will handle it, the activists will handle it.
Because if anything, if what podcastist Stan and the woke Reich have shown you, you can't trust that. And I don't want you to think that You Uh, whoever you are, if you don't have a podcast or you don't, you're not big on social media, that that's required in order to have an effect. Let me tell you that one of the most successful voices in my community. 48-year-old couple 48 and 49-year-old couple. They're not even on social media.
They are just persistent. They both work full-time. They homeschooled their kids. They're just very persistent. They do hobby ranging, very persistent.
So, they don't even do all of the stuff that you're conditioned to think is a requirement in order for you to have an effect. To be honest, some of us didn't even know who these people were when they were coming to the city council meeting. We got to know them, and they were just there all the time showing up.
So You do not get. brainwashed into thinking that you yourself don't have any power. Because persistence I promise you, in-person persistence is more powerful than a social media account with 5 million followers. I'm not joking, it absolutely is. I've watched it happen in my town.
The parents who took on the school board in my town several years ago with the DEI fight. They're not even one of only only the dad And they're from Cuba. Has a Facebook account that he never even uses. He would just like post stuff about the Cowboys. That's all he did.
And then he hasn't even updated it since like 2019.
So I'm telling you, it does not matter.
Now, I say this because this all dovetails into this whole data center fight. China wants to monopolize. Data centers like they do rare earths, right? Rare earth minerals.
Now, It's not for our lack of rare earths. It is for China's absolute lack of any kind of environmental or worker protections because. It's not that, and we've discussed this on the show before, rare earths is a misnomer. They're not rare. They're actually quite plentiful.
There's a ton here in the United States. There's, I think, one of the biggest, is it lithium in Afghanistan, for instance? That's like one of the biggest lithium, what would you say, like deposits, fields, however, you would describe that. That Is in Afghanistan, for instance, but it's very difficult to extract. That's the that's the issue.
It's the extraction is difficult. And we've been pioneering ways to do it. effectively efficiently with also considerations for worker and environment. China doesn't care. I mean, China has cancer lakes.
I mean, they have cancer villages around the lakes. That's a thing. They have like pink rivers. Because they just allow whatever chemicals and all this stuff to go, it doesn't matter to them.
So the reason that they monopolize rare earths is because they just don't care about the extraction techniques that they use. Whereas we have regulations against that. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I do think that sometimes they're a little onerous and they're a little excessive.
Now, with data centers, I agree with you. I have a friend right now, in fact. That Um bought a ranch. And they're raising their kids. And this was like going to be their forever ranch.
They, you know, it's like the American dream. You want to be able to have some animals, and then you want to have a compound. Like, my dream is having a family compound. You know what I mean? Like, I just, that's the dream.
And I want to have a source of running water, and I want a compound. That's what I want. And our friends made that happen for themselves. Beautiful piece of land. And in its way out.
I would say, Ken, it's probably about an hour and a half, almost two hours west of us. Beautiful area.
Well then so they've been there for three years now. And then guess what just... happened. A data center exploration is starting.
Now, when you walk out their house and you see this beautiful vista, this prairie. If this goes through, they're going to see the equivalent of a giant basically Amazon distribution hub right there. of a giant data center. And this is on there's a lot of considerations because there's you know, you've got streams that are nearby, there's some indigenous animal. I mean, there's a lot of considerations here.
So it's going to be a fight for this data center.
Now I agree with you. I think that some of them some of the proposed developments have been stupidly bumbling and infuriating. I don't want to see these damn things smack in the middle of a town. I don't want to see these damn things eating up resources with towns. I agree with you completely.
But I want to control it. Because I'm an American and I want to control all the things. I'm just going to be honest about it. I want to control everything because I don't want China to control it. I want to control it.
I want to be the arbiter of data. I want to control all of the things. By God, we're the United States of America. Why can't we control all of it? But with it here being here in the United States, I want to control it in the right way, and I don't want it busting up against people's houses.
I don't want it disrupting their communities. It should be easily and beautifully and simply integrated to where it is not a time suck, resource suck on these communities. I think that there's a way that it's doable because I'm here to tell you, I don't like saying this. Don't mistake me telling you what the basic facts are for support of this, but we're going to have them. And if they don't exist here, And if we don't control it, then we're going to lose like we did with rare earths.
We're going to lose like conservatives lost with arts and entertainment to the left. We're going to lose like conservatives lost with academia to the left. We're going to lose this to communists, to China, to Iran, to Russia. That's not fear-mongering. That's God's honest truth.
So back to my point. There are ways to go about this. that are smart. And there are some really smart people.
So, in our area, we've got some folks who think, you know, kind of like we do, and they're like, all right, we've got to figure out the best way to go about this. If it's gonna be here, it's gonna be here. We gotta figure out the best way to go about it. I'm just saying. It is, there is absolutely a foreign component.
that is trying to pull the wool over your eyes and get you to fold. on an interest, a strategic interest, a security interest to you. Don't buy into it. Be discerning. Don't go into it just because everybody else you think is.
Don't go into it just because you're seeing it on Facebook and whatever. I'm telling you, the future is coming whether you like it or not.
Now you want to be able to control it and mold it. That is the power position to have on this. We have a lot more. To come as we roll towards headlines, our I love working with the crew at fast-growing trees, especially at this time of year when everything's in full bloom and you can actually, you know, see your yard come to life.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. This story's gonna make you hate everything. It's gonna make me hate. I already hate everything.
Starbucks is paying their baristas to make TikToks. Yeah. Yeah, they're doing it. They said that employee-generated content is quickly becoming one of the creator economy's fastest-growing marketing strategies. Mm.
Yeah, I don't think so. Are they paying them extra to do this? Apparently? I mean, I got a million questions. It says that it looks like another influencer marketing campaign, but it's really a sign that brands are beginning to formalize employee-generated content as a core marketing strategy.
People, if your boss at your coffee shop is asking you to make TikToks, get paid for that.
Okay, know your worth because they're literally just using you as a content farm. For free marketing.
So don't allow them to do that. That's ridiculous. A flight instructor jumped to his death during a lesson, leaving the student pilot to land the plane by herself. Holy wow. Argentinian flight instructor jumped out of the plane to his death in the middle of a flying lesson after telling his student, quote, you know what you have to do, leaving her to handle this whole aircraft all by herself.
This is crazy. 22 years old. She was able to land the plane, but good night. I can't imagine. Would you, I mean, how tragic is that?
Would you want to fly again? What the hell was he doing? No jump. He jumped to his, did he think he had a parachute? Like, was this a mistake?
No, I think he wanted to die. Yeah. And apparently they found his body during a search, like 15 minutes after the jump, and they were able to get it. But yeah, he was like. They said that she was very mate.
She was very professional, maintained a very high level of training. She kept her emotions in check. She was very shaken, but she piloted the plane to the airfield and landed perfectly.
So I think she's probably now gonna pass. I think that's... Wow, that is horrible. That's a real bad one. Let's see.
Karen and Chad are the most judged first names in America. But wait, so Chad's a good thing, right? Isn't Chad like a compliment? The left side. I thought Chad was, yeah.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
So, but apparently, Donald and John are also frowned upon, but Karen and Chad are the worst. Like, Karen, I get it. because that name has been turned into.
Something. Chad was supposed to be like a totally buff dude, I thought, or like a bad, badass dude, right? A bus crashed into 12 cars in a building in Pikesville, leaving 35 people injured in what they're calling a mass casualty incident. This is horrible in Maryland. A bus, 12 vehicles, a building even in Baltimore County, 35 people were injured, two people trapped in the wreckage, but they did call it a mass casualty incident.
They had med back and shock trauma go teams responding to the scene. That's horrific. I mean, can you imagine? It was like seven, it was like, it sounds like it was during a rush hour because by the time everybody started getting there, some of the first responders, it was like, what, like seven o'clock or something.
So, good heavens. Unusual earthquake off of Chicago's North Shore has rattled residents. according to NBC. Yeah, there's an earthquake that had up there. They said it was a little choppy.
They registered one. We got a lot more coming up. Stick with us. The all-new Tropical Butterfly Refresher is now at Starbucks. Dive into juicy guapa and pasha fruit flavors, with mango pineapple popping pearls bursting in every sip.

So, two quick things. The left-wing activists that recruited Graham Plattner to run for Senate had actually been barred. From a previous Democratic congressional campaign, after there were complaints of. Sexual misconduct, S E C K S H U L sexual misconduct. The uh Guy Daniel Moraff was barred from Summer Lee's campaign over sexual misconduct complaints.
So of course Grant Plattner is like, yeah, that's the guy I'm going to listen to. to run for office. Of course Grant Plattner liked him. Of course he did. Look at that.
Does that surprise you at all? Because I'm not surprised.
Okay, last quick story.
So World Cup the payout for the dudes. 12.8 million. It's pretty Pretty cool, right? They earned $16 million actually from FIFA. After reaching round 16, before they lost to Belgium 4-1.
Now, under the collective bargaining agreements, they have to share that money with the women's national team. Yeah. U.S.
soccer keeps 20% of the prize money. The 80% is split evenly. Between men and women's player polls. What? Even though the women didn't What?
Yeah. Okay. I don't. Agree with that, and that's because. Uh of the equal pay.
They said that the women have won four World Cups. The U.S. women's team won four World Cups, while the men have not advanced past the Round 16 since 2002. And they said members of the women's team sued U.S.
soccer, accusing them of gender discrimination. Um Wait, do they think? Do they think it's measured by that? Do they think it's measured by that? They absolutely do, yes.
Yes, they absolutely do. They So the women's team earned $1.8 million for reaching the same stage in the 23 Cup.
Okay, that's because not as many people watch the women as the men. Probably because the women don't stop bitching about everything. Stop it. Why do women, they are sometimes, you know what?
Some of these chicks are their own worst enemy. Like WNBA. You know, you get a star player that brings eyeballs, and what do you do? You turn around and try to beat her into the court. Physically.
This is just crazy. I think this is just like glorified welfare. Juan agrees. Juan's our soccer guy. Oh, sorry, football.
He agrees. It is. It's like this is that's not empowerment. You're getting a handout. That's like a little sister handout, isn't it?
That's what it is.
So bad. All right, today's stupidity came. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Where do we start here?
Well, I mean, our whole audio list pretty much. Because we have, like, the San Piker stuff, I'm like, should we just do it and then. Why not? And say we didn't? I just I don't know.
All right, let's just do 17 here because we didn't get a chance to actually hear the audio yesterday.
So let's just hear this. This is Loti Tellerico 17-1. Oh, that's 17 is Holland. Yeah, he's got it though. I was always so thrilled when I get invited.
You know, to the Diwali Festival. I think I've gone two years in a row now. And, you know, also have gotten a chance to speak at some of our local mosques.

They're not. John 14:6. Where Jesus says, I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Right there.
Tellerica is a fake Christian. Folks, that does it for us today. Have a great weekend. Back with you Monday. Anyone can now use AI to build software for work, but AI can't make your team adopt that software.
