The ability of America to have our own industry and not be dependent on China is a valuable resource. Why should those things for millions of Americans be sacrificed in favor of your agenda for radical climate change. Senator, I know that there's like 1.9 jobs for every American in the country right now, so I know there's a lot of jobs. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You're telling me.

Mm-hmm. You're telling me we've got too many jobs in the country?

Well, I'm saying that we don't have enough people. That's why we are having a hard time finding folks to work at our department. What? Is that the reason? Are allergies really, really bad or Did she just say that?

A little spaced out. I'm on some allergy meds. I'm hoping to wind those down here this month.

So and sometimes it just makes you feel like hey Yeah Is that what's happening here? I don't know. I'm really confused. 'Cause I it sounded like Kane. It sounded like she said Been hearing this audio that there's just too many, too many jobs for blue-collar workers out there, and we just don't have enough blue-collar workers.

Just don't have enough.

So it sounded like she said. Yeah.

So there you go. Welcome back to the show. I didn't even know. Dana Lash here, you're bemused cremudgeon. Dab Holland, that is that was some sound bites yesterday.

Who boy She, um She didn't know a lot. I don't know how else to put it. She seemed clueless on a number of things, and that wasn't the only thing. Because first off, I just want to say people love jobs. You guys ruin the economy.

And honestly. There, yes, there are a lot of. I mean, I know because I'm trying to get a I'm trying to get concrete poured. Oh my gosh, you know, it's like a four-month wafer concrete? Did you all know that?

Oh my gosh, we're expanding the studio and doing all of this stuff, and you would not believe how it's still, people are still dealing with it. Thanks, Biden. Thanks, Democrats, and any Republicans who went along with it. Good heavens.

So She also, where's this other sound bite at? Because she, Josh Hawley, by the way. gave me Having a conversation with your toddler vibes. From this. Because I need to, oh man, Audio Soundbite 2 had my jaw on my desk.

Like, legit, I actually had my mouth gaping open listening. I watched this clip yesterday. Audio Soundbite 2. This is still Deb Holland, the Interior Secretary. She's supposed to know these things.

Listen to this. On the subject of the sweeping mandates related to electric vehicles that the Biden administration has imposed, including now for our military. The metals needed to make the lithium-ion batteries in those vehicles are, of course, lithium, nickel, graphite, and cobalt.

Now Can you tell me what nation is the largest producer of refined lithium in the world? No, I can't. It's China. Can you tell me which nation is the largest producer of refined cobalt in the world? No, Senator.

It's China. Do you know what nation is the largest exporter of natural graphite to the United States globally? No, Senator. So, in all of these instances, these mandates your decision to. trade off our energy security in favor of a radical climate change agenda.

is making us more and more dependent on China and at the same time, You are denying. Mining, blocking mining, blocking permits for mines in this country that would allow us to develop nickel, copper, and cobalt. Why? Why block the development of these resources in our own nation? in favor of making us dependent on China.

Senator, are you referring to the boundary waters? I'm referring to the Twin Metals Mine in Minnesota, I think that Senator Bross was just asking about. Yes, near the boundary waters, which is an iconic place and, of course, a very valuable ecological system to many. Plants, animals, species. Um So Deb Holland, she's the Interior Secretary.

And one of the jobs of the Interior Secretary is management of resources. And she has been part of the administration that has been vocally against Or vocally for the EV stuff, I should say. Promotions up, promoting EV, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And Apparently she doesn't realize Or she I I don't honestly, can I just say I don't think that she's qualified for the job. Especially with that.

Demonstration of knowledge. These are incredibly important things. The Interior Secretary literally manages. The resources of the United States. And if you're dealing with the resources of the United States, including You know, lithium and cobalt, and understanding how much we have and how much can even be extracted, and you know, what the safe practices for extraction are, etc., etc., etc., which we don't even have anything up right now, so it's a moot point.

But Part of that also is understanding the importance of those materials as it relates to national security. And knowing what other countries are kind of leveraging their. ability and they're they're uh superior amount of resource of those minerals. And their ability to extract them, how that can become a national security issue, and how that can be leveraged in order to push. Subjugation of the United States, and she seems wholly ignorant of that, which is terrifying because that's part of her job.

It's like they spent, they made a bigger deal. I get it. They were like, oh my gosh, first Native American. Maybe you should have also focused on, you know. Does she know what she's supposed to be doing in this position?

It's like Pete Buttigieg. He gets to be Department of Transport Secretary of Transportation. Why? Because he has sex with dudes. He's gay.

Because he knows nothing about transportation. You can get mad at the accurate characterization of that because I put it in unvarnished terms, but that's the reality of it. He was a diversity hire. He knows nothing about his job. He left it like months into i his first year.

And he took all this time off. And then according to Uh Uh Other members of even Democrats, other lawmakers, he was ignoring all requests for discussion, information, et cetera, when we are dealing with a supply chain crisis and he's MIA.

So yeah, the administration like didn't focus so much on merit. when they were figuring out Clearly, Uh who's doing what in the administration. They didn't really focus so much on merit, apparently. But she finally was forced to acknowledge that the reliance of Biden's green agenda on these materials that. are monopolized by China.

further strengthens China. Because Of the rare earth mining, I know that one of the lawmakers said it was 63%. I've actually read where it's upwards of like 71. The majority of it, regardless, takes place in China. And that by obsessing and forcing everyone to move to renewables, you are without any ability.

To develop it here within the United States on our own, we do not have any working rare earth element mine at all whatsoever in the United States, and we're years away from having one up. One That you are developing an over-reliance upon a geopolitical foe. And that's a very scary thing. Even in the best of times, if everyone was best friends, you would still want to be self sufficient in the event that that situation changed. This is just common sense.

I feel like I would kick the crap out of these people at risk. The game. Oh my gosh. This is like basic 101 government stuff. And the fact that this has to be explained to her.

It's just wild. It really it's just really wild to me.

So I don't know. A um That was troubling to hear that because it seems like it's like the administration doesn't take it seriously. But you're gonna take it seriously. You're going to take it seriously if you have to be forced into buying an EV and you can't afford it. You're going to take it seriously when your energy bills increase because we're strangling off fossil fuels, which are renewable, it's literally renewable.

I mean, that's these are all this is a serious issue. Yeah, and then when you I don't even want to talk about when you got to replace the batteries in your E V, because then it's going to be more than the E V is. I mean, it's, I don't, it's not better for the environment. It's not. Speaking of which, did you can share the story?

So in New York. Beginning in 2026. They're going to ban. gas natural gas stoves and furnaces. in most new construction.

Less. than three years away. Yeah.

It doesn't get cold up there at all, does it? New York, right? Yeah.

Yeah.

It's tropical. Yeah, yeah. They it's the first statewide band. That's passed in the United States. They're going to phase in the mandate beginning in 2026.

Any new construction of buildings seven stories or less.

Sorry, fewer than seven stories. Can we write proper headlines, people? Oh my gosh. Media seven buildings of seven stories or less. If you can count it, it's fewer.

If you can't count it, then it's less. You know, this is what separates us. from like Dogs. Is not only our speaking ability and our opposable thumbs, but the idea that we understand the difference between fewer and less. I just hate when journalists don't do this properly.

It really angers me.

next to improperly using the phrase beg the question. Nothing irritates me more. I'm sorry, but it like it totally just removes my suspicion of disbelief in sharing the story with you. Inter bad grammar. Anyway.

So the Associated Press says that the law negotiated between the New York governor and all her other Democrats in the legislature and the state budget, they are passing these all other states, by the way, just to let you know, New York won't be the f isn't going to be alone for long. Other states are con are looking at doing this. They're going to phase in the elimination of fossil fuel heating devices. When newly constructed buildings, everything has to have electric-powered induction ranges and heat pumps. The people mandating this are not cooks or bakers.

I will, if they do this, I will literally make the government. come to my house and arrest me and take up my stove. And then because Texas is a castle doctrine state, I will literally like make war over my gas range. because electric stoves are garbage. They are garbage and they heat unevenly and they're horrible tools of Satan.

There you go. I hate them to death. I would rather cook over an open camp fire and bake in some rudimentary construction around that. than use an electric stove. You might think that I'm being a little Overdramatic.

I like to cook and bake. I hate electric stoves. I had mine ripped out. I had an electric stove and I ripped it out. Yes, I did.

And destroyed it in the backyard, like office space. Uh Yeah. That count? I was like, this is this is trash. I ripped it straight the hell out of my kitchen.

Put a good old gas range in there. I don't need anything to be like: press a button and it'll bake your cookies for you. Shut up. Like, who does that? This isn't the Jetsons.

I don't want any fancy anything on it. I don't need any digital displays. I don't need it to tweet for me. I don't need it to do any of this stupid stuff. I just, I ride the temperature.

I watch it. I do all of that. I can't, I mean, nothing gets me. This is one of the things I can talk for 5,000 hours about. Anyone who cooks, I can hear you.

If you're real quiet and you listen. You can hear a bunch of people out there going, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's right. You can hear it.

Those with my cooks and bakers out there. Yeah, that's what they're not going to be the only state for long doing this. We got to roll. Black Rifle Coffee Company, together with the Boot Campaign, are on a mission to raise $1 million to change the lives of veterans.

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

Okay, so um Wow. In um South Shore. Chicago, a 10-year-old carjacker struck. Can you believe that somebody snatched keys from a victim's hand and drove away with their vehicle? This was Thursday of last week.

The suspect was described as only someone wearing a furry jacket with a red and black ski mask, but then they. Yeah, because 30 minutes later, literally a few hundred feet away, the would-be carjacker opened a driver's doors. They tried to park. And the kid, the police said the offender's 10. He punched the driver in the face and tried to take the car.

The hijacking failed. He's five feet seven. Uh, and no other weapon, he didn't have a weapon, but oh my gosh, 10 years old, and he's out there carjacking. I Oh my gosh, I can't even. Big lots manager.

In California, two of them are fired because they confronted a shoplifter outside of the store as they tried to get. the cart back that he used to boost 15 jugs of laundry detergent.

So it's a now a former big loss manager. She says she was fired because she followed a shoplifter out of her Southern California store to retrieve a cart. And the 52-year-old says she and another manager were fired. Because this person stole 15 jugs of Tide Pods, and she said she was fired a week after the incident. And this was in, yeah, in California.

I, I mean. She's like, for Christmas, we got 40 brand new carts. She says it's March and we're down to five. We were told no carts are to leave the store whatsoever. No matter what, customers are not allowed to take them, she said.

And so she went to get the cart, and yeah, she ended up getting that's lame. That is absolutely, like, wait a minute, how are you gonna sit here and tell your employees? Uh, yeah, you can't let these leave for no, you know, under no reason at all whatsoever. Uh, and then when they actually go to. Yeah, stop it.

Then they are fired. That's so stupid. Environmental groups sue the FAA over SpaceX's Texas rocket launch. Shut up. There.

They're mad. They said that because it went over 24 miles, it exploded over the Gulf of Mexico. And it's the Center for Biological Diversity. They said they're suing because they said the FAA did not consider the environmental impacts. Shut up.

Yes, they did. They asked the court to throw out the five-year license that the FAA granted to SpaceX. They hate them. They absolutely hate them. I think the hot air that this group is.

putting into the atmosphere should be fine. Really, ultimately. I would rather argue with the parrot like we had in the Florida dude story than I would talk to any of these people. And Oregon is looking to decriminalize homeless encampments, and they're allowing the homeless to sue for $1,000 if they're told to leave. That's gonna solve the problem, won't it?

Stick with us. You also plan to make important investments to address the roadway safety crisis, including the critical funding that would accelerate the development, and this is an area I've written to you about, of the use of female dummies in crash testing. This will start to fight the gender inequity among vehicle safety and crash victims. Oh my god though. What in cinnamon toast crunch hell did I just watch?

First off, what's Perry Farrell doing in Congress? When did he get elected? I thought he was like really busy with Jane's addiction. Lynn once which was five. I adjusted.

Yeah.

Uh That was what's her face, Rosa Delaro? Yeah.

I mean, I could be convinced that it, you know. All right, Perry passes. He passes. That's it. He passes as a chick there, in a way.

Huh.

So welcome. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash. That's her big area. Is Why don't they just use her?

Yeah.

Female crash test dummies? Really? It's that That's a thing? That's a thing that she's like really concerned about. We gotta have.

Yeah, first she said female dummies and then crash test dummies. Yeah, she had to hurry up. And I mean, so no one is under the impression. That it's me I'm talking about here.

So, Rosa DeLar, that's an. I'm not making this up, that she actually said that she praised. Uh mayor Southbend. For working to ensure that female crash test dummies are used in vehicle crash testing. Is there.

Mike uh I can uh I can't Guys, they think I'm gonna play this audio soundbite all the rest of the show. I'm not joking you. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Is there some sort of like significant difference? If you say boobs What I mean for real, like what is the why is that a thing?

Is that actually a thing like why would that be important? I mean, everybody's head gets bashed in the same way if they're not wearing their seatbelt and stuff, right? I mean,. Yeah.

I'm I'm just curious as to why that's the f The thing. I mean, there's certain things that but she's like, This is my big because of gender equity with Car crash? Studies That's what she had said? Oh, man. They don't believe in protecting women's sports.

But they do want female crash test dummies, damn it. Get it right I mean, women's sports, no. I mean, who cares? But Women crash test dummies. That's where we're gonna- that's the hill where- on which we're planting this flag.

Representative Farrell. From California. I'm sorry, Delaro. She's from New York.

Well, I mean I see them in Congress all the time. I think they like mistakenly shipped them to the wrong place. I can make a million jokes here. I'm made of jokes now for the rest of the program on this. I I I mean, good heavens.

You know you know how you uh I mean, there's a there you go, I can't even. I'm turning into Norm McDonald right now. I just have three things in my mind that I can't say. None of them I can share. Hmm.

Yeah, sorry, she's from Connecticut, not New York. Representative Perry Fair. I'm Rosa DeLauro. And she says, Yes, you know, it's it's we have she literally said we have to fight. The gender inequity amongst crash Victims Is this where I'm just I just think that there's too much time on some people's hands.

I mean, it's a damn car crash, right? You're gonna get busted up. Regardless. I mean, there might be a little bit, there might be a couple of differences, but you're going to. This is so goofy.

And it's goofy because. This is what they're talking about while refusing to protect women's sports. I make this make sense. They won't protect women's sports, but this is their You know, the female crashed test dummies, it's where it's at, I'm telling you. Yeah.

The um other remark, audio sound by 23. From Mayor Secretary Southbend. Pooh Bootiju, judge, judge. Geig. I'm turning into Moira Rose talking about fruit wine.

Secretary Mayor South Bend. He was talking about transportation because roads are racist. And also the weather. Listen. of both profound challenge and historic opportunity for U.

S. transportation. On one hand, our transportation systems are still grappling with the consequences of the pandemic, climate change and decades of disinvestment. What that's all Democrats talk about doing though, is we need more roads and uh bridges. spend more money.

State regulated. Like with a lot of the That's the the other thing that they don't apparently realize. But it's climate change game. You know, it's made the traffic issues, the transportation problems, you know, because it rains and it makes him have to stay home because he doesn't want to get wet. He doesn't want to like walk out.

You know, with those little buster brown loafers and get mud. You know, I mean, so he stays home. It's climate change affecting transportation because he can't do his job, Kane. You know, what's upsetting is that the climate changes four times a year. It's really.

It's really frustrating for somebody like Pete. Yeah, the climate also changed in Texas. It is cloudy, or No, th this is I I don't know. Guys, I can't even almost make fun of it anymore because we pay for this. This is our government at work if you want to call it that.

Man. But I think that it also sounds like they're just trying to justify this department. I mean, what is the point of this department? We we have supply issues. We have Uh What?

a lot of hold up at port. particularly in Los Angeles. To say nothing of rail.

Now we now everyone's paying attention to rail. Notice all the people who got mad at the Keystone Pipeline and demanded that crude be transported via rail. They're not saying anything now. They were all quiet. It's really difficult to talk about it.

Now, one of the things that the House passed today, and Kevin McCarthy gave remarks just a little bit ago, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act 219 to 203, no Democrats supported. But hey, those crash test dummies though, gender equity and stuff. How do you how are you sitting here arguing about gender equity and you can't even talk about Matt Lung. It's wild to me.

So they passed it. Uh this was a campaign promise that they also had delivered. Because the Bill They were trying to Democrats wanted to essentially redefine what Title IX was. And there was this was introduced by a couple of different Republicans. In February, they were trying to get it they were trying to get this bill out of committee the last two sessions of Congress, but it wasn't happening because Democrats controlled the House and they weren't letting it on the floor.

So now it got to the floor and it's been passed. And you had House Majority whip Tom Emmer with McCarthy and other Republican leaders. And then Hakeem Jeffries gets up there and saying that he said, he literally said this issue doesn't exist. He said that. Man, you better be telling that to some of the female athletes.

Imagine a man walking out there to the podium, a progressive man. Ladies, the stuff that you're dealing with, your struggles don't exist. We don't see you. That's some misogyny right there. That is some misogyny.

And then he's like, extreme MAGA Republicans. What does this have to do with MACA? You know, a lot of the people that were raising issues and concerns over this were Democrats. Man, what a way to shoot yourself in the foot with your own bass, man Extreme mega Republicans. They're just trying to jam their right-wing ideology.

Yeah, habit of aginas, some real right-wing ideology right there. Whoop! Boy. Man. But he said it didn't exist.

Didn't exist. Hmm. You know I do think, we and we talked about this last segment. Yes. The thought.

occurred to me during break. Do you think that if people like find uh uh Gloria Steinem and those other. Dinosaurs from the Paleolithic era of feminism. Do you think that if they? came out and we're actually talking about this, would it would it move the needle with Democrats?

Would Democ would Democrats in power actually have a fight on their hands within their own ideology. Or do they even have them as sway anymore? I think the media would play favorites, and I think the preferred narrative would get more attention, and the one that isn't preferred would not. Yeah.

And perhaps. Uh I have some other audio that I want to play for you too here before we before we get moving. This uh because we have we played uh We do we we play twenty four coming in, correct? 2014 no, we didn't play that yet.

Okay, this was some of the remarks from that this morning. I just wanted to get that in because there were a lot of people and a lot of people that I know for a fact, a lot of people that were turning out to support this were not Republican. Listen to this, and I think you can watch the simulcast too. On this vote, the yays are 219, the nays are 203. The bill is passed.

No Democrats. Without objection, a motion to reconsider is laid on the table. No Democrat lawmakers, but there were Democrat. Supporters of this And they watch their elected officials just completely ignore them.

Something else.

Something else.

Hmm. Now we'll see what the Senate does. Uh coming up. More reaction to the subsidies for high-risk home buyers. This is we talked about this first yesterday.

uh were pretty amazing. And The response is not what I don't know. I think that's some of the.

Some of the left is struggling. Also, I'm really tired of all the 2024 stuff, and I really wish that.

Some of the, I wish that Trump's advisors would attack Gavin Newsom as much as they try to go after like actually, you know, good conservative governors. Like whose side are you on? We got to talk about this. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. But you have.

We have a thousand billionaires in America. Know the average tax rate they pay? 8 EIGH percent. Nine percent. Mm.

Yeah.

Eight E I G H per cent. It's A. Reminds me of Joey Trebiani on Friends.

Well, you know, it's a moo point. A moo point? Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

Yeah.

Welcome back to the program. Ah yes, the President of the United States. I don't even know if that's true that there are a thousand billionaires in the United States. Are there a thousand billionaires in the United States? I mean, I don't care.

I mean, I'm just happy that somebody can make money and be a billionaire. If I'm not a billionaire, I'm not gonna get mad that you're a billionaire. That's kind of you know, I'm not gonna. I don't operate like that. If you have, I don't know what kind of g I I was gonna name a fancy car and I realize there's some I just don't like.

If you have something that I want, it doesn't mean that to me I look at it that That doesn't mean I can't have it. I just... All these people that go on and on about oh, it's generational wealth. That doesn't actually exist in the United States. In fact, that was one of the most fascinating things that Tocqueville found most fascinating when he was touring through the United States trying to figure out why is it that.

The American Revolution ended up with such a different result than the French Revolution. And he noted how so many European nations protect Generational wealth with tax structures and inheritance and everything else. And he's like, in the United States, it's almost like you're penalized for it. I mean, he didn't say it like that, but that was, you know, basically the intent. He's like, you're just like, you're penalized, which you are, even back because there wasn't any, there were no protections.

Uh for it. Look, I think you should be able to make as much money as you want and can make, and you should be able to do with it whatever you want. Why? I've never bought into that whole Marxist mindset that. You have to be ashamed for working hard and wanting to be successful.

I get really daggy-taggered about this stuff. And I loved how in Atlas Shrugged, she would still wear her furs and her jewelry and all that stuff out. When she, even though it because the government was making everything heinous, she still, that was like her battle flag. That's what she to show that she appreciated coming from, you know, creating your work, working hard, and enjoying the fruits of your labor. And this is, I mean, you should be, anybody should be able to do that.

If you can do it, then why not? Why? And if you want to be able to pass on something to your kids, why is it something to be ashamed of? Because, see, they want you to feel ashamed for working hard, but they feel no shame in wanting something for not working hard. They want something for nothing and apparently that there's not supposed to be any shame in that.

But I don't I don't subscribe to that view. I don't subscribe to that view at all. And that's what they're pushing. That's what Democrats are pushing with us. That's what they're pushing with the budget stuff.

That's what they're with all of this. They I don't know. I just I think it's harder to sell people on that when we are in such a bad economic time. It's r a lot harder to sell people on this. A lot.

So, yeah. I had a thought. last night.

So we had a very interesting dinner table conversation. And I came up with a really good idea. I'm like, man, what if you had like a sci-fi horror film, AI battling aliens? It's mine. If you steal it, I'm going to come for you.

I'm litigious. What if you had AI versus aliens, like fighting? And then I thought, man, I would love to write the screenplay for something like that, but I unfortunately don't know any of the rocket science terms. I don't know. Like sn sir, the the The Poopal snuffle upagus is out.

And we've gotta increase the vex hectares to fix it.

Well, that's great. We've found a hidden shnachnopati in the back. I mean, I was thinking, like, how would you do it? Because I don't know any of the technical terms that would be, but that would be, I would watch that. Yeah, not intended to be a comedy.

Like, I want people to be terrified, right? Like, AI versus who would win? What if, you know how we were talking about the UFO hearings yesterday? What if aliens are like, these people are about ready to go bananas? Let's help, right?

What if because the AI, like they're gonna get taken over by their AI overlords and stomped into wet smush in the grass? We gotta help them.

So what if it's that? Who would win?

Sounds like a film. I I would want to watch it, even even though I don't know any of the verbiage, but you know, I want to write the screenplay. We're not going to increase the debt that every president has done for the last six million years here. Never hadn't done anything but that. What?

The next six He's is this his his A his AI thing? Our president. Welcome back to the program. Top of This second hour with you, Dana Lash, your lovable curmudgeon.

So it's a little bit, you know. a little bit more relaxed. And so we were kind of laughing. about Kamala Harris being named as the AI Czar.

So, you know, the czar of artificial intelligence? They said she's going to make sure that the technology is developed responsibly. Do you believe that she's gonna be able to do that? She did such a great job as the Borders Are, you know. I mean It's no issue there.

She did such a great job. We are going to get murked by robots. That's what's going to happen. We are going to get killed to death by robots in the next six months. if her work as AI czar is anything like being a border czar.

Oh my gosh. To death. They'll kill us so hard, we'll die together. We're gonna get We're gonna go into Matrix Hell.

So I'm going to delete it probably after the show, but I did the free trial on Chad GPT because I wanted to see what it's like. And Kane. is my grandmother. I think he's possessed by her. He's like, did you go ahead and download the Satan?

Download that demonic device, the Satan device? Chen GBT's the d is the devil. Wrong. I'm not gonna say I'm listening to it. I wanted to ask it.

This is what I asked it. I said, write a short summary of what it is like to be unburdened by what has been in the style of Kamala Harris. Oh, please read it.

Well, it's it writes. Quote. Being unburdened by what has been can be a liberating experience. I have to perfect her voice. It allows us to move forward without the weight of past mistakes or regrets holding us back.

It's an opportunity to unburden and start anew with an unburdened perspective, a fresh perspective, a renewed sense of purpose. Maybe. Maybe she has been using AI. Is she AI? I mean, I'm just like, yeah, it's a little terrifying.

And Steve asked her. Or ask chat GPT, same difference. Draft a speech by Vice President Kamala Harris in which she talks about restaurants and entrepreneurship. Can you play that sound bite real quick? that we just played for today in these United States last segment.

Because this is what we got the idea from, you know, because she is the. The AI czar. Yeah, yeah, this is what she'd said.

So just where we got the idea. And you know, when I speak with small business owners and entrepreneurs, some of our younger small business owners actually self-identify as entrepreneurs. They're small business owners also. But we'll go with whatever you like. Small business owner entrepreneurs.

What were you doing?

Okay, just go along to get along.

So, Steve asked it: draft a speech. by Vice President Kamala Harris in which she talks about restaurants and entrepreneurship. Did not disappoint. Oh yeah, no, it's it's good. Good evening, everyone.

I'm delighted to be here with you today to talk about my two favorite things, restaurants and entrepreneurship, which is spelled wrong. As we emerge from the pandemic, we're reminded of the resilience and determination of the American people. particularly those in the restaurant industry, that they shut down. Uh she says that Well, this is Chat GPT. Throughout the pandemic, restaurants have been the heart of our communities, providing a place for us to gather, share a meal, connect, blah, blah, blah.

She talks about entrepreneurship, or the ChatGPT thing does. Oh gosh, here's we must also support our restaurants by promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. The restaurant industry has the potential to be catalysts for change, and we must ensure that it's a welcoming and inclusive place for all. Steve wants to ask Chet GPT, too. have in the style of Elizabeth Warren explain her Ancestry.

That's well, he yeah, he was thinking I just can't even imagine what that is gonna be like. Oh my gosh. My first prompt was, in the style of Kamala Harris, explain. uh compose a uh text about why you love McDonalds. She was like, It's a lifelong California, and I've always been a fan of the golden arches.

I'm like, what does that even have to do with it? Yeah.

Oh my gosh. It's too funny. It can't. It's terrifying. This thing is actually terrifying.

It really is. I don't really actually. Um Yeah. It is. It's like demonic.

It's a, it's, I don't know, it's weird. You, so my youngest son, he's like. He goes, uh he he goes, Well, if the devil's gonna be on earth, I think it's AI. That's what he said. He goes, it's totally AI.

That's weird. I mean, think about it. It's like the worst aspects of humanity, but without the morality, it's all logic. Because, see, even logic, like if you go back to when I was in college, I remember learning about Peter Singer and having to read his books, and he was. Um He talked about ethics and logic, etcetera.

And ultimately, what I learned is that. Uh to rev sometimes what is right is not logical.

Sometimes what is good is not logical. But there is no sort of algorithm to infuse that. Knowledge into AI. AI is going to make a decision. Or a policy or hold a position based on what is logical and what makes sense, what is mathematically correct, et cetera.

And sometimes good and true. aren't necessarily they don't necessarily fit. And that's the problem. That's kind of like What singer? Believes.

Like that, he would, he, there were certain things that, um, you know, certain scenarios that he would discuss. and that I would read in these books in class. And they weren't right.

Sometimes they would result in the death of an innocent person. But if it was for the benefit of all, well, then that's, of course, you know, that's the end. That's the proper end.

So it was one of those things that all the means are justified if it. If it promotes and accomplishes the main goal in the end. That's a terrifying Terrifying, terrifying concept. But that's the reality. of this.

I mean a sterile you know, completely For the in just the most descriptive sense, you know, very sterile clinical. Uh soulless logic. That doesn't recognize nor value. Morals or ethics. That's terrifying.

Absolutely terrifying. On that note, your Elizabeth Warren speech is in the rule. Oh my gosh. Oh Oh my god.

So he asked it. Write a speech in the style of Elizabeth Warren in which she talks about her Native American heritage and being a public school teacher. Oh boy. It is so bad. Oh, okay, I do.

So Elizabeth Warner in Chat, GPT on being an American Indian, states, quote, My fellow Americans, I. I stand before you today as a proud Native American and a former public school teacher. My heritage and my experience in the classroom has shaped who I am and have driven me to fight for the values that matter most to all Americans. Growing up, my family instilled in me a deep respect. for our Native American heritage.

Go on. Go on. Oh my gosh. I want to ask it, come up with a clean chowder recipe for Pow Wow Chow Part 2, just to see. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh, that's so bad.

That's so bad. But this is it's actually kind of it's terrifying. And it's the last paragraph. Of the Elizabeth Warren. S chat GPT.

Oh boy. So today I stand before you as a proud Native American and a former public school teacher, ready to fight for the values that matter most to all Americans. I believe that we can build a better future for ourselves and our children, one where every person has the opportunity to succeed and where our diverse backgrounds and experiences are celebrated and not denigrated.

Well they were denigrated 'cause you were a fake. You blonde-haired, blue-eyed person. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with having blonde-haired, blue-eyed, but she literally filled out. American Indian on our Harvard job application. Oh my gosh.

Are you arguing with the robot right now? I am totally arguing with the robot. You are damn right. I am. See, this is the problem.

Then you're in like the cyclical thing of arguing with robots. Man. That thing is actually terrifying.

Okay, can we? I need to talk about woke Legos for a minute. Because I hate everything. I just, here's where we are.

So, Lego. has launched a gender neutral range. And what they say is a bid to break stereotypes.

Okay, your plastic blocks. I'm really confused as to why they would need to announce anything, but okay. Um. But that's I mean, they're plastic blocks. I don't know what that means.

So they said that.

So this is, it's really big in Australia.

So this is where it's like first. Uh, because it first hit a couple of years ago, but it's like really apparently they're introducing this now in like Australia, so it's making news again. Uh, they're Danish. And they've been they've already pledged to remove gender bias from their toys. I don't even understand what gender bias is.

I mean, have you seen the Lego people? I can't tell you the chick from the dude. You know why? Because they're yellow blocks. they don't even have like genitals.

Not that, I mean, it shouldn't even matter, but you know, whatever. Your minifigs don't have genitals because they're minifigs. Mm-hmm. Uh And your minifig doesn't have a minifig. Anyway.

They actually never expanded on what they're going to modify. They're just like, yeah, we're going to. Gender focus, you know, whatever. And so now they've been pushing this. Daily Mail has the story.

They've launched it in Australia. They have uh It's co Here's the name of the collection. Lego dreams. With Z's? Lego dreams.

Mm-hmm. D-R-E-A-M-Z-Z-Z. And it's going to include a Pegasus. Why do you need to say Pegasus horse? Stop it.

A blue and pink bunny called Bunchoo. and a nightmare shark ship. And None of this looks like anything I would want to play with as a chick. Um it all looks kind of dumb. The Juan has some of it in the simulcast if you're watching.

Is the the bunny is the Kooky little thing with the, it has wings. Like, what would you even do with this?

Now, I'm gonna say the nightmare sharkship looks kind of cool, like, looks kind of cool, but you don't have to be like, oh, we got to put some pink on this or some blue on this. Let's put some yellow and blue and pink to make it more. Just stop with it because then it just looks stupid. Right? Nobody's gonna say if you're gonna have a cool looking shark ship, you're not gonna make it pink and all that.

You know why? Because it's a shark ship, you morons. You're gonna try to make it look like the color of the sky. You're gonna try to make it look like the color of the water. I mean, is this also something that's gonna be able to traverse sky through water, like seamlessly?

I just think that you would wanna make it look like that instead of trying to virtue signal so hard about bits and pieces that you're gonna put colors like pink on it. It's so stupid. That's like having a pink camo, which I think is dumb. If you like it, that's fine. But, you know, I don't know.

I just. The whole thing, but it's called Lego Dreams, and it's going to have gender. They have a show, they're going to be launching a TV show in Australia May 15th, and it's going to have gender-inclusive characters. I don't even know what that means. That's what I mean.

There's uh I don't this is so goofy. And I honestly, I don't know. Why they think who decided to make these things and call it non-binary? or call it gender neutral. The bunny just looks stupid.

I wouldn't play with that. It looks dumb. I love Legos as a kid. I wouldn't play that's stupid. Um I don't When grown up playing Legos, and even with my kids growing up playing Legos, there was a lot of imagination that went into this, right?

So I think this whole gender-neutral crowd. Their imagination can then imagine that these blocks are gender neutral. Why do we have to have the company do all this? It to me it doesn't make any sense. Everything you make looks like Pepto-Bismol.

And Easter eggs? It looks stupid. Stop it. I can't. It's so dumb.

All right, we've got uh we've got more. I just I It is mind-numbingly ridiculous the links to which these companies go to. I just wouldn't play with any of this. I'm looking at the I'm looking at some of the images of these tropes. I just wouldn't play with any of it.

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

Alright, so first up. The North Carolina House has approved a measure banning, this is from the Hill, banning abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy. This falls below the 15-week, I think it's the 15-week average as to where when you poll, even Democrats, when you poll both of them, that they kind of land on. This is, it came yesterday. The House vote came a day after Republicans in both of the legislative chambers announced they reached an agreement.

The state's current limit is at 20.

Now they're moving to 12.

So we'll see if that goes through. Also, half in the United States are worrying about the safety of their money in banks. Yeah, I mean, the turbulence, this is, I mean, I just keep thinking of the central system. 48% of U.S. adults say they're concerned about their money.

19% are very worried. 29% are moderately worried. 30% say they're not too worried. 20% not worried at all. This is a Gallup survey that was conducted between April 3rd through the 25th, a month after the SDB and signature bank collapses.

And this now, you have like the First Republic Bank. There are others that are being considered as well. We have a lot more. I didn't mean to be short here, but we went a little long with the fun with Chad GPT in the first segment. Girlhood becomes stronger when there's more of us behind behind it.

Only certain people are allowed in, but who's allowing a character question? Who is I don't. Maybe there isn't one. Maybe there's another chair of the part of it. Do you have any relationship to the concept of girlhood?

I absolutely do. I find girlhood to be inspiring. There are a lot of human beings who transcend what their gender is supposed to be. There are a lot of human beings that are girls. And that to me is something I can't do.

Reminds me of that new kids on the block song. I met a lot of people and girls. There was an actual line from it. I have no idea why I remember that. What in the Five o'clock shadow held and I just watched.

And play for all of you listening. I need a moment. Oh my gosh, let me put a hand over my mouth. Welcome back to the program. I'm sure.

What happened to the segment? It's gone. Dana, last year with you. You're uh bemused. Curmudgeon.

And this Was that like a conversation that Dylan Mulvaney had with this guy named Jeffrey Marsh? who looks like a super groomer. And I think He Like wanted to Lorraine said you wanted to help kids transition without their parents knowing. You know, here it's really hard for me to To accept Your cosplay as a chick? When you just like can I just be when you just half ass it You don't even shave?

Like, you got a five o'clock shadow. Was that on purpose? to remind because you don't even have to have that you still look like a dude You still sound like a dude. You don't need it, it's almost like they keep that on. Like sometimes, how women just have hairy armpits.

And then they pose on Instagram with their hairy armpits everywhere just to show you how edgy they are. Look at my hairy armpit. I just, why? I feel like that's kind of the same thing. In a way.

What they what they were doing with that. But But what did what did Marsh say that Um a lot of humans are girl. You think?

Okay, so This gets us. To that Bud Light story, because apparently, in Hell's Kitchen. Bud Light sales dropped 60%. Draft. Bottle sales dropped seventy percent.

Again, This is in Hell's Kitchen. New York. First time I was ever in Hill's Kitchen was for Wendy Williams. First time I was ever I d I did any kind of T V. was with Wendy Williams.

Who was a very gracious hostess? And I she was a pioneer in female radio, and I'd fight anybody. She had a whole wig room. I've never, I mean, it was amazing. I've never seen a woman who had everything so dialed down.

But This is in Hell's Kitchen. They have a pretty sizable. pretty vocal gay community in Hell's Kitchen. Seventy percent. Like the the gay community is is is mad at Bud Light.

So I I've just and but here's the thing, you've seen the sales drop, but you haven't seen them increase. Where are all the trans people just drinking up that Bud Light, huh? I mean, Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch, went to this great extent. You had this the V P Of Uh Anheuser-Busch Who had gone out and said that they were, how did she put it? Trying to.

Combat the Freddy? And out-of-touch branding. And she noted that younger demos weren't drinking beer, particularly Bud Light, which sounded more like younger demos just didn't want to drink crappy beer. I don't think it's a problem with beer per se. I think they didn't want to drink what you call beer.

You know, you're trans beer.

So they I think they did the least they could do. And they quietly partnered with, I think, the most offensive cartoon-like caricature. Of women's behavior that they could find, Dylan Mulvaney. I mean, honestly, if one of my girlfriends was acting like him, I think I would probably like try to bake or act her. I think I would.

All right. But notice how the people who are flipping out over the Bud Light stuff, like well, they would you have chest in Mr. Poot Buttigej, who said, quote, if you're upset about a bear company supporting civil rights, you might want to start bottling your tears. LGBTQ people drink water too. Gonna boycott that next.

That was so dumb. But how many people don't understand the concept of civil rights? I mean, progressives have so bastardized this definition that it's like thrown out as a red card every time they don't get something that they want. I mean, we're at the point where even the mere refusal to purchase another woman's birth control pills means that you're somehow denying her a civil right. That's so dumb.

So what civil right is Bud Lights what were they supporting again? I don't know. Like what civil right were they supporting? I mean, nobody, and no, it's like watching Elizabeth Warren drink beer. Nobody believes you.

Nobody believes that. I don't believe that he ever, I don't believe that he drinks beer.

So I think they need the Gillette sponsorship would probably be more appropriate. For that five o'clock shadow, I'm just saying. Yeah, what right, as Kane asks, does the trans community actually have? What do they not have? Exactly.

Okay, can we talk about the ballet the the ballet dancer?

Okay, full disclosure. There's certain things they get really snotty about. Um eyeliner. If I see like, you know, some of these third waivers who don't know how to do a smokey eye, it's like petty stuff, right? I get m I get real snotty about, you know, my dog.

I get really snotty about ballet. I had 17 years of my life were spent studying classical ballet. I had l I mean, I was in the classroom every day. I was every day at the bar. Um Constantly, there was always workshops going on, all kinds of stuff.

And it is incredibly grueling. I think a lot of the discipline that I have in life comes from that. It gives you, and I mean, you have to be disciplined. And it is a sacrifice, and it very much is, I mean, it is super competitive. And you do have to absolutely have discipline.

And there it is a beautiful art form. I think it's absolutely beautiful because it emphasizes God's creation, the human form. And there's there's It v it's very male and female. oriented, very unapologetically so. celebrating, especially with a pas de dieux, the two sexes, etc.

And it's about, you know, emphasizing movement and form and the, you know, the gracefulness. And they are very, ballet schools are very discriminatory in terms of merit. physical ability. For a reason. You know, just like the military is discriminatory.

They want the best fighting force. You want the best performers. And now we have this story. Of A man who changed his name to Sophia Rebecca, Yeah. a former rally driver and IT technician.

was the first They call, I don't believe in the phrase trans woman, to pass exams at the Royal Ballet Academy, which changed its rules in 2013 to allow dudes in. He is six foot three inches. Six Foot. Three inches. And I was watching the side by side video.

of him with uh an at like another ballerina he can't there's no way he can go on point. His turnout, I mean, just the video that Juan is showing in the simulcast, he has zero turnout, zero technique. I don't even know how you can be admitted into the Royal Ballet Academy. when I I mean, I feel like I'm watching Jim Carrey perform on Mad T V. As Vera, right?

Remember that with the little pigtails? I mean, no joke. No upper body gracefulness. No movement. I mean his toes stick entirely in.

It is heinous and it is a mockery of the art form. For the sake of what? I mean, this would have been yeah, it would have been a an S and L skit. It's like it's Pat from S and O. It's a mockery of the form.

Not everyone, not even all women, can do ballet. And it doesn't even matter about weight or anything else.

Sometimes you can be a very lanky, lithe woman who is the perfect height. You can't be super tall, who's the perfect height, et cetera, but you just have zero coordination or grace, right? It's a very, not every woman can do it, not every man can do it. But to see This accommodated and shoved in people's faces. To me, it it's a mockery of the form.

Because what I'm watching is not a mastery of the skill. And I don't even see an attempt to master the skill. Um If someone wants to do something on their own time, whatever. But to again to force it on everyone and to say that I mean w I just want to know what is the skill set of class that he's in. And he's six foot and three inches.

How do you partner with someone? Right? I mean, the technique that ballerinas develop, I mean, there's a reason why you spend the majority of class on bar exercises. doing basic movements. That work everything from your turnout in your ankle all the way up to your knee, all the way up to your hips, you know, keeping your hips completely level, depending if you're in an arabesque or whatever you're doing.

There is a reason, I mean, these are drilled into you. The saying was always that a ballerina can tell if she misses a lesson in one day, the instructor can tell if it's several days, and the audience can tell if it's a week. I mean, it is a very Uh strict discipline. And it is something that, you know, girls start when they're young. By the time.

You know, if you're entering ballet when you're three or four years old, but you're not even ready really to go on point, I mean, it's early if you're 13, 14. Because they want to make sure that your ankles are strong, that you have good turnout, so that you're not injuring yourself. And even then, I was talking to a friend of mine. Her daughter just qualified to go on point. And now they have these amazing silicone toe pads because it is, you know, it's paper-mâché, it's a hard box, and it scratches up, your toes bleed.

One of my friends lost her toenails. I mean, it is a very, you know, it's a rite of passage for ballerinas. We had to use just like a little bit of Liam's wool. We had our ballet instructor, and I thought he was fantastic, by the way. He was incredibly strict and super condescending, and I loved him.

But. You would just use like a little bit of lamb's wool. I try to hide.

Sometimes I try to cheat and I would sneak off and try to put a toe pad in. Uh-uh. No, you didn't do that. That wasn't allowed.

Now they have silicone pads. They wanted you, the, you know, the true Valerian, he would say, wants to feel the floor through the, through the, the, the bottom of her shoe. And I know I see this guy. It's just it's not it's not ballet. And I get really snotty about it because I think that there are some things that celebrate uniquely the women's form and the gracefulness of humans, and I don't see that in this.

I don't see that at all. Can you imagine somebody like doing you know trying to It's like I see like Phelan Fox going into MMA or trying, you know, UFC won't tolerate it. That's a dude who used to fight as a dude and he treats the women's leagues like they're JV and he identifies as a woman now and he goes and tries to beat up women. And he got into it. There were some people trying to criticize Ronda Rousey because Ronda Rousey was like, I have no interest in fighting Phelan Fox.

And why would she? I mean, it's a dude who gets in a ring and thinks that a couple of years of hormone therapy are going to fix everything that nature has done, including puberty. But this I mean, I don't know. I love ballet. I think it's one of the best things that humans have done in terms of artistic expression.

and the discipline and the no nonsense and the strict separation of the sexes and celebrating them each in their unique likeness. And to see it made a like a joke like this is just off it's it's actually offensive. And it's an insult to all of the young women and the young men. Who And don't think that guys who go into ballet are, you know, they're all gay. In fact, they're all players.

Most of them are players. But. It's an offense to all these people, young adults and teenagers, and even kids who are genuine in their study and spend.

So many years of their lives perfecting this, getting the reflexes correct, the turnout, training their bodies where it's muscle memory. Um And then like this. What is he going to get a partnership next? I swear, if like block shoes or Danskin or somebody, I will scream. We gotta move on.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Why? Yeah.

It's time for Florida Man.

Alright, so. First one. it's like fight club for the classroom. A uh Florida Middle school teacher, Florida woman, hosted student fights in her classroom at Griffin Medical School. Or Gr Griffin Middle Middle School, sorry.

They uh she was accused of organizing fights according to WCTV. In Tallahassee. She was identified as the teacher at Griffin Middle School. She's facing charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. for what court documents say.

Uh I mean it literally was like a fight club. The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight clubs.

So somebody talked. They said that several sixth-grade girls told detectives that they had participated in planned fights during school hours, and they alleged that they were invited back for additional fights. They also said that she made statements like, and the teacher, Angel Footman. 23 years old. She apparently made statements including: 30 seconds, no screaming, no yelling, no phones.

And a detective indicates in a probable cause affidavit that he reviewed videos and identified her sitting at her desk, failing to intervene, and making statements like: no screaming, no nothing, stop pulling hair. I mean I'm on the fence about this. Why are you on the fence? I mean, at least she was pulling hair is not like a legitimate fight tactic. Come on.

Part of me is entertained by the whole idea, I think. It's fight club for the kids. And then the other part is like, have you seen like the bad behavior of some of these kids, though? You know, I'm like, hmm. Anyway, so she's in trouble.

She said she didn't organize them, but she said that she didn't want to intervene.

So now she faces four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. It's like a middle school fight club. There you go. A drunk Florida man swears at children in Disney and then threatens police officers. Just another Disney day.

He was arrested at the resort in Orlando. The magical place.

So apparently, the drunken man was visiting Disney Springs, the shopping and dining center. 30-year-old Edward Stevenson. He pled not guilty to trespass according to Orange Circuit Court records. He claimed to be a registered nurse while he was threatening law enforcement, and he wasn't apparently.

So, yeah, he was being belligerent and cursing at kids and making inappropriate comments to minors at the toy store.

So that wasn't good. Oh man.

Okay, well listen, Twitter was already under fire from misinformation, disinformation, all-out lies, anti-Semitism, racism before Elon Musk took over, and now it's gotten kind of crazy, right? Seemingly unmoored, if you will. Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says? Or is this the point? It's just a free-for-all.

I think this is the point. It is a free-for-all. It's what Elon Musk wants to provide. This move by Tucker may cement the idea of Twitter as a right-wing website. Hmm.

It's a Social media platform that you're on.

So are you a right winger? Stelter, I'm just curious. I'm curious how this works. Yeah, what what is uh oh man. He's gonna be on Twitter.

It's a free-for-all. Can have a free-for-all. Oh my god. Or free. Or free?

Welcome back to the program. Top. Top of this third hour. Dana Lash here with you. Your lovable curmudgeon, always bemused perpetually.

And you can listen coast to coast. You can also stream the program and you can watch the simulcast of the radio program on YouTube, Facebook, channel 347 Direct TV.

So. Mm-hmm. They're upset. They're upset, Kane, because... And and the thing is, is that Tucker Carlson hasn't even said That is Doing anything yet.

He just said that, you know, they're coming back and it looks like he's going to do some kind of thing on Twitter, maybe. And then Elon Musk said nothing's been signed.

So I don't know why everyone at alphabet network is getting so upset. I mean, it just doesn't. That's kind of what Twitter. Twitter's a social media platform. It's not a website.

I mean, you c I guess you could say that if you wanted to be like super general about it. But it's a social media platform. That's all it is. They're they're they're simply people simply use it. Progressives use it.

That's what ge I mean They changed their algorithm to be more lefty. And now and they're mad. Oh, it's gonna be a right wing, say right wing if they don't ban. The right, then it's right wing. That's how the left views speech.

If it's not banned, then it's right wing. And everything that we disagree with is right wing. Can you imagine living your life so beholden to the herd? Jiminy Christmas. It just doesn't No.

I'm They're just so uncomfortable with Having to coexist. Isn't that their big thing? Coexist? They just want to coexist. It's so Yeah.

This is bumper sticker talk. all it is.

Okay, so The and and that's he hasn't said it had come out with any other video or anything like that. I just do think it's Do you think it's super? Super interesting. All right, so some of the other stuff I want to because we got some a lot of audio today. Uh This Gosh, what do I even want to get into?

Because we got so many Biden things. Uh where he so he okay, audio is done by fourteen. This is the debt ceiling, they wheeled out Diane Feinstein. The left is mad. When are they not?

Uh and Biden was trying to, I think, fabricate some kind of insult. On For Republicans about spending, and it just sort of fell apart. Listen to this. I'm not being solicitous. What we should be doing, and I'm proposing when I try to finish this job.

And proposing that we, for example, if we start Instead of Head Start, which they want to cut 21,000 Head Start spots in this state alone, we should be sending, all the studies show that if we send, no matter what the background of a child, if we sent that child to a school at age three, learning reading, writing, arithmetic, age three and four and five, we end up increasing by 56% the chance they'll graduate from high school and go on beyond high school. Where in the world was he going with that? He was trying to hit Republicans on spending. And it didn't work. Just like it didn't work when you tried to f like Figure out how to get off the stage, audio soundbite 15.

After he made these remarks, Kane said yesterday, we could do a video, a whole video montage. How many minutes do you think we could get out of this? 20, 30. Of him not being able to find his way off a stage. Because they tell you this: when you go on the stage, you enter this way, you exit this way.

Exit stage right or exit stage left. This is just funny. You can hear the music over there. They're just gonna make your verse. It's like, yeah, I don't know which way to go until someone knows it.

It's like, yeah, she come literally this way. These are cold cams, which are fall eaters, so I don't It just doesn't look good. It doesn't look good. It really doesn't. I mean, man, you can say what you want, but it doesn't look good.

All right, so. The I have a million things that I want to make sure that we're hitting. Uh so San Francisco, here's one. I saw this and I wanted to get this, but he was uh I was actually gonna save this and was gonna do a piece on this, but when his talk about uh education, et cetera, made me want to hit this story.

So do you remember back Um This was in Uh 2014. I think. And This, and I'm looking at this thing. There was this Annenberg University study that just came out. recently came out talking about math instruction in San Francisco.

So do you remember back in something like 2013, 2014, San Francisco, they wanted to approach math equitably. Do you remember this? Before you started really hearing the word equitable everywhere. The city of San Francisco wanted to approach math in an equitable manner.

Now, what does that mean? They We're making the argument. This is in San Francisco. They were making the argument that Minority students We're struggling with Math. Uh they were behind white and Asian students.

And they basically blamed it. Not basically, they did. They blamed it on them being minorities. I'm not making this up. This is San Francisco.

So before 2014 And there have been a couple of places that touched on this. Reasons touched on this. I think Red State wrote about it. Before 2014, Kids had to, I mean, you had to do, you know, you have like advanced math or you have, you know, just like regular everybody else math. And if you were on the advanced track, like AP, then you would take algebra in your eighth grade year and go from there.

And then a lot of kids, and this is like this in a lot of schools across the country, then they would start algebra their ninth grade year, right? And it meant that by the time that some kids got to their senior year, they were in calculus.

So And they and they do this with a number of subjects. And that obviously because a lot of Colleges, especially if you're going into an engineering, computer science, whatever, you have to have like pre-Calc or Calc, right? And they thought that because there were fewer minority students who were on the AP track. To take algebra in eighth grade and then be able to get into calc their senior year. They thought that that was inequitable.

That was unfair.

So they redid their curriculum. This is San Francisco schools. They redid their curriculum. Uh I think and this is this is a reasoned piece. I think it's like in 2014.

And They Then required.

Now get this. That all students wait. and take together algebra in their ninth grade year.

Now, they were saying that Well, if we We would have, you know, if all the kids were learning together, then some of the lower you know, the students who are making lower grades in the subject, it would help improve their grades in the subject. And they actually even did more because students that were taking algebra one Uh prior to even going into high school privately. Even if they could take a test, even if they could test out of the class. They still had to take the class regardless.

So, say that during the summer between your eighth and ninth grade year, you wanted to fulfill that requirement so you could take calculus. when you were a senior and you decided to do a summer course, Algebra one summer course, well then by the time you got to school started in the fall, ninth grade, didn't matter if you got an A in that private course over the summer. Did matter. or a summer school class. It didn't matter.

It didn't matter if you take the test and test out of it. You were required to take it, regardless. You know, because of equity. They were punishing you for wanting to get ahead.

So Stanford. did this survey. Because the reason that all these, you know, these San Francisco schools were saying that it was going to close the achievement gap.

Well They finally did a survey on it, a study on it, and guess what? It didn't. It didn't at all. They said that large ethno-racial gaps in advanced math course taking remained. They said that they studied how there was a lot of participation in accelerated options.

And they were the schools were looking to reduce the disparity, and what they found is that it all remained anyway. It didn't do a damn thing except penalize the students who were advanced. And here's what gets me. The Whole point of this they said was to help the students who were underachievers.

Now why? Did San Francisco not choose to approach this. by just teaching better. I think that there are some instances in which students fall behind, maybe because there is a learning hurdle or however you want to put it. But in some instances it's because of just bad teaching.

I remember when I was in school, the younger teachers who were just coming up. and c coming into schools were the ones everybody wanted to have as their teacher. Because the older ones that had tenure who were like I had an algebra teacher that really reinforced my hatred of math. He was a jack wagon. I could not stand this guy.

He was rude, he was condescending. Uh he had he did not like to explain anything to anyone. And he would, when he would challenge students to go up to the board, he would literally ridicule you. If I mean, he was a horrible teacher, he had tenure, though, and the other teachers hated him, but you couldn't get rid of him. Nobody wanted to have the sky for math.

And I had a friend who actually delayed a course, a math course. and put herself back.

So she didn't have to take him. our sophomore year high school. It was on I mean, it was wild. Uh There are some bad teachers out there. And this sounds kind of like, I mean, if you're having students.

uh Um Demographics that are struggling with math, then why don't you figure out how you can improve that by teaching better? Instead of lowering the bar for everyone, because what you're saying is that you don't believe that these students are capable of meeting the expectation of an advanced placement class. Of an accelerated math course. They're just giving up. They're not even going to try with these kids.

That wasn't even their first option. They didn't even, they didn't even. Try with these kids. They didn't try to help these kids get into these accelerated math courses and succeed. They didn't do anything to prepare them.

They just decided to take them away. For everyone in eighth grade. Tell me how that's not racism. Because you're just, oh, well, they're not going to meet this expectation, so let's lower the bar for everyone. How is that not racist?

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

This story cracks me up. A missing Australia woman survived five days on wine and lollipops, say authorities. They rescued her in the wilderness. She survived for five days, this woman in the Australian wilderness, thanks to a bottle of wine and some lollipops. The 48-year-old, who is only referred to as Lillian, went on vacation to Bright, Australia last month.

Her family, though, was alarmed soon after she didn't make her daily call to check in with her loved ones on April 30th, according to Victoria Police. Police say their air wing spotted her car at the end of a dirt road. And they said that it was about 60 kilometers from the nearest town. A police van was directed to her location and she was safely rescued. And they actually saw her there and they can see her waving up and she's just like in the middle of this clearing.

She's, you know, it's, I mean, it's hysterical. But at the same time, she was trying to get to the Dartmouth Dam when she realized she had taken a wrong turn. Then her car got bogged down in mud. She didn't have a cell signal, no way to call for help. She couldn't move her car.

She could use the heater for warmth. And so it was only supposed to be a day trip.

So she just brought some snacks and lollipops, and she didn't have any water, and she doesn't drink. But she had to turn to a bottle of wine she brought for her mom, which is kind of funny. They said that she stayed with her car, she didn't wander off, which was smart, and that helped police find her quickly.

So they rescued her, and she was very grateful, they said, to see. Man, alive. Goodness. The president says that power plants have to reduce pollution by 90% or shut down. The EPA announces strict guidelines for their green agenda.

Imagine that. That's. Yeah, I know. I mean, just go ahead and just give China a leg up on us, will ya? And by the way, they've already done so much to reduce it anyway.

I mean, more so than any other nation.

So. Uh let's see this uh 10 million gallons of partially treated wastewater.

So some of it's still fresh. Release. Was released into Mount Hope Bay in Fall River, Massachusetts. 10 million gallons of partially treated wastewater. A circuit breaker failed at their regional wastewater treatment facility.

The water bypassed all the pumps. And they said it's bad. They said it was really bad. Sunday night officials said that they did finally reset the breaker and it was working correctly. But between the spill and heavy rain, they said that they had to close the section to Mount Hope Bay for the next week or so.

Do you have to go in and scrub all the pumps and everything? I'm wondering. Like, how does that work? Yeah, I mean, I don't know how that works. I just, I don't know.

Uh also, there were 160,000 rounds of ammo. that was stolen from Ohio police recently. The Ohio Police Division, Columbus Police said that it was stolen from a warehouse on the west side and that when the division noticed the delivery was short, it contacted the shipping company. They said everything had shipped and the ammunition was stolen before making it to CPD's facility. It was rifle ammunition.

So they said that there were two others involved in the warehouse theft last month when it did according to Columbus Police. We have a lot more in store. Stick with us. You know, I think about innovation as being the pursuit of that, right? The pursuit of what makes us more efficient, more accurate, faster.

Right, more relevant to the needs of the people. We don't engage in innovation because we're bored with things the way they've been. It's the pursuit of doing things better than we have done. Oh, God. And seeing what is possible, unburdened by what is possible.

Oh, my gosh! Whoa! Oh. Every time that long Time, stop. Oh, my gosh.

unburdened by what has been.

So we can see. The future unburdened by what has been Every speech, Kane. Welcome back to the The radio program, you can watch the simulcast. It's National Government Theft Day. Hashtag abolish the IRS.

Hashtags don't work in real life, Dana. Shut up. And We're in a mood. I say collectively 'cause I bring everyone with me. We're in a mood today.

Make sure you sign up for the newsletter, Substack. I have no idea what's going to come out later today because we're in a mood, I'm telling you. Yeah, whatever it is, it'll be unburdened by you. Unburdened by you. By what has been, no one steps in.

And it was like, psst. No. Stop it. She has no friends? Stop saying that.

Or, you know what? Or, people hate her and they want her to say it because she looks stupid. Should I say that again? Should I say that? Yes, say it, Madam Vice President.

It's an amazing phrase. You should say it. multiple times in the same speech. It's so good.

Okay, it's good to know. I mean, that's the only honestly thing that I can think of at this point. I have no idea.

So I have 14 separate occasions since May of last year that she has said this. No. That exact line. Fourteen times. And that's just from what I've seen on Twitter.

That doesn't it uh I may be missing some. unburdened by what has been.

She is that's gonna be like her epitaph. unburdened by what has been.

I don't even know what that means. What does that even mean? It's words, Dana, organized in a certain way that make me sound like I'm saying something of substance. to not be burdened by history? I don't I don't even know, man.

Everything is why is everything stupid? Because Dana, it is.

Alright. Uh I wa. Go ahead and play this audio. We just thought it was funny the way he said the alphabet thing. This is Jamaic Gomez.

And Democrat route Jimmy Gomez. I don't know. We just started making fun of this audio sound by Don't Break. That's it. Listen.

Republicans are attacking trans and other LGBTQ kids. And it shows exactly who they are: bigots and bullies. And I said that once, and I'll say it again: bigots and bullies. That sounds like a club. Right?

Ugh, like bogies and grinders. Yeah.

bigots and bullies. Like if I was doing it in what was that SNL skit? Where he'd like Stefan, he had all the club names. Welcome to Bigots and Bullies, where DJ Baby Bakhtoy has knees like biscuits and spins the hits. Like that.

Bigots and bullies. Yeah, it's in an old payless shoe store. You have to get your tickets out of a broken gobbled machine.

Okay. Wait, did he say the AI thing after? He did not. What was that used you added something on to that LGBTQ.

Okay. LGBTIPQ. Um, so there's LGBTQ. Which stands for a queer question. All I know is every L G B I know does not want to be with the other letters.

That's actually true. Yeah.

But then you you said there was more letters. Like are any of them barbecue? No. That would be helpful and probably garner more support. I would totally support BBQ.

Oh, for sure. Delicious. LGBTQ, like I said, queer and questioning is what the Q stands for. Intersex is I. A is asexual.

What? Yes. Is that? Intersex. Is that a movie?

It's opposite of outer sex? No, inner oh, I'm thinking of inner space. Intersex. Or inception. What is...

Hang on, I gotta, oh, do I wanna Google this? No, damn. We haven't even got to the fun part of this. I actually have to do this to my job. Yeah.

So, wait a minute. This doesn't make sense either. It says that Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations, what? In which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the boxes of male or female. Like hermaphrodites?

I guess so.

Okay, go and the other letter? And then of course it's the asexual that's where the A comes from. And then 2 Spirit. If you ever see the 2S, In that acronym? Shut up.

It stands for Two Spirit. That you are possessed? Um I don't think that's what they mean. I don't think that's what they mean by that. Cast you out, devil.

Wait, I'm sorry, I don't know. I was like, you're of two spirits, which sounds like a binary spirit system.

So, like. Wait a minute, let me oh gosh. If I don't Google this really fast, the internet is gonna go overboard in telling you gleefully. I know how you people are.

Okay, so. Apparently so you can only oh, what? I am so. I'm more confused now after I looked. Is this helpful?

No, it's not Google. It's not helpful. S So Two, so this is how it's defined. Two spirit Also to spirit. What?

Yes. That's what it says. Two spirit, also two spirit, or two s or occasionally two spirited. is a modern Pan-Indian umbrella term used by some indigenous North Americans to describe what. Native people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third gender what ceremonial and social role in their cultures, that is like even more confusing.

A shaman?

So, oh, okay.

So, you are a person who can have both a masculine and a feminine spirit. Oh my gosh. I just wrote 5,000 skits in my head. What? What?

Yes, this is nuts, pun intended. Yeah.

What? That sounds like possessed. I can hear my grandma already from beyond the grave. That's of the devil devil And I think they're adding more and more to it every Every year, there's like more. Yeah, because Lorraine just dropped in.

Oh my gosh. Mm-hmm. Oh my gosh. So she put this, she moderates the chat, and she's a contributor at chapter and verse.

Okay, so Kane, let's see. There's a lot of letters here. It's L G B T Q Q I A A P P O 2 S. That sounds like a very bad passcode. That's gonna be my next password.

It's legibitiki do de paterchos. Oh, wait, Faefolk? I don't even know what that is. We're not. This is now like a true blood show.

Faefolk? I don't know. I'm just trying to get over the two-spirit thing.

So the two-spirit. Is if You have a male and a female in spirit?

Sounds binary. It sounds binary. Yeah.

Oh, you just stumbled upon.

So, how does the two-spirit thing? How does non-binary and two-spirit square up with each other? That's weird. We are spirits in a material world. I just don't.

Know right now how this is gonna, how does that work? This is why it gets the, I don't know what. Wait, let me they have a flag?

So if you're two-spirited then your body houses a masculine spirit and a feminine spirit. Um Okay. What? I think we all have that ability.

So it sounds like they're you're possessed.

Well, I really want this, but you know, Stan, who is my male spirit. once thus. Damn it! Stand. I mean people I mean That I'd I don't know.

I'm at actual loss of words here. Um So there's that. Mm-hmm. Don't. Oh, they added K to it, too.

I don't even want to know what that means. Is that night? Like, they identify as a medieval person? I don't know. That'd be nice if it was, but it's not.

It stands for kink. What? Why does that have to look? You don't need a flag for everything in your life, okay? You don't need that.

Like for instance. You know, going back to BBQ. I like the St. Louis style. I like a dry rub.

I don't like to put my meat in soup. That I call barbecue. I'm so sorry, Carolinas. I love you to bits, but God love you. No, I can't.

Oh man, I'm going to get, I will get more hate mail over this than I will have gotten anything in my career. Almost, the first time I got more hate mail was when I said I didn't like Sami Hagar. And I almost. Why do you say stuff like that in public? I can say, I'm not in St.

Louis now, so I can say that, but I thought literally I was going to get beaten to death.

So I was afraid, I was afraid for my life.

So But I will say this. You don't need a flag for everything.

So, if I like a dry rub barbecue, does that mean I get a special flag for that? Or is it only related to how you like to have the sex? I don't know. Like we, you really have to, I mean, we, of all the things to have flags for, that's what you go with? Right?

Wait, I like these types of genitals, so I need this flag. to represent that Can you just go on with your life and not, you know, go? I mean, it's literally like the Worldwide Privacy Tour, but with sex. Right? I feel like it's nobody cares.

Nobody cares. It's like that scene from Jurassic Park. See, nobody cares. It's like that. Nobody cares.

Stop. And don't add any more letters on. I don't even know what this stuff means. I feel like I'm reading like a true blood scene. Polyamory, omnisexual two-spirit fella over here.

I mean, what is that? Steven, what? And doesn't two spirit negate everything else? Because it's a binary thing. That sounds like possession.

Okay. Six more Bidens. Golly, there's six more. They have may they may have gained from the family business scheme, says James Comer. Oh, what We know this.

Man, they've been making fat bank. Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, their associates, their business schemes, all made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. They are still investigating all of this. And there's still an unknown Biden. who received four payments in 2017.

Seventy thousand dollars. The brother got six figures. Even the daughter in law got She got thousands of dollars. All related to the CEFC China Energy Company, the CCP Energy Company. Remember that they wired millions?

to a Biden family associate and then he divided it up amongst the family over about three months. How is that not a national security concern? Because you have the President of the United States, whose family is, I mean, that is a direct cash path. That is those are receipts. That's that's the paper trail.

showing that they made money off the CCP. That's incredibly significant here. That is an absolute national security issue, particularly when he's pushing. These policies to make us more dependent upon China I'm telling you what. How many people That work in homeown security have been accountable for breaking the law.

And first off, do you believe that? Um The government looking at private messages on Twitter is a violation of the law? Um uh senator uh we don't uh censor speech so I I want to um uh nip uh that um misimpression. Uh in the bud. You mean the Nina Jankowitz lady?

Yeah.

When he Like at the almost at this time last year, when he had to go before the Senate Appropriations Committee, and that was Alejandro Mayorkas. And testify as to whether or not he knew what the board was going to do and how they were going to actually try to silence what they determined to be disinformation. And like, remember when she he was asked whether or not the Biden laptop was Russian disinformation? And he couldn't answer the question. But he doesn't, he also wants to claim that they don't.

They don't control speech. What? Does anybody believe that? I have a bridge to sell you. Fidel.

Welcome back to the program. I mean, that was like a year ago, almost a year ago. It was May 4th when he testified on that. He had to go and and uh clarify. What the DHS disinformation board, when all of that broke.

He had to go and clarify what that meant, and he couldn't. Really? No, no, no, I wouldn't nip that in the bud. We don't censor speech. We we don't we don't do that.

Um Um Mm. I kinda want to disagree. Right. Oh, like remember that time too when They uh dhs when they were telling people to not talk about how the uh Border Patrol agents were using reins to steer their horses and not like whipping people. There was also that.

But that's not controlling people's speech, right? I mean I don't know how anyone can believe, I mean, I don't believe it. Make sure that you sign up for the newsletter. Chapter and verse. A lot of good stuff that goes up there.

There were a couple of pieces yesterday. And of course, I also send out my daily prep email, and you can see some of the stuff that we're hitting. In the program. I add some stuff on in the morning, but you can see some of the things that we're hitting at in the morning.

Today in Stupidity Kane. It is our vice president, Kamala Harris.

Well, she had a lot of things that could have categorized we could have put right here in today and stupidity. But here's her talking about how entrepreneurs are small business. We'll talk about that when she's done. You know, I think that when we think about the SBA, it's about small businesses, but entrepreneurs are also small businesses. I've started to use the two phrases together because we don't want to leave anyone out because they're the same kind of people.

They actually are the same people. What is she talking about? Entrepreneurs start small businesses. But small businesses themselves, if they want to be an extent of the individual, I guess you can, but. Why would you even try and make a comparison or even a differentiation of the two?

I mean, is there a speech that she has given where people are like, you know what, that was good? And she really kind of knocked it out of the park? I don't think so. Yeah, folks that does it for us this afternoon went by fast, but that's what happens when we hang together and deal with it all. We'll be back behind Mike with you tomorrow.

God bless.
