When it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%, and that's because of the actions that this president has taken. I really, really want to understand her math with that so bad.

I so want to understand her math. That was just. That so that was her remark yesterday, and she's It's it's Corrine Jean-Pierre and she's discussing Because we're getting ready for this Title 42 business. We're getting ready for an influx, and we're gonna talk about some of the numbers that they said were gonna be at the border, et cetera, et cetera, which I don't know if I even buy some of, you know, well, I don't buy any of it. But I just really would like to know where she's getting this math from because that is not at all what any of us have ever heard or have seen.

That's not what Border Pat, I mean, that's completely contrary to what Border Patrol has said. too. That's like completely contrary to everything that that Border Patrol has said.

So what gives? I mean, it is a laughable An entirely laughable Uh uh remark that she made. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash here. with you.

And to start off with, this is the, well, this is like one of the big things. There's, I, there's quite a bit. There's quite a bit to get into today, ladies and gentlemen. But this, first and foremost, so. She's saying when she was talking about this, this was yesterday, yesterday's White House press conference.

She was saying that.

Well, it's, you know, the program has been so successful. It's down by 90%. And it's specifically because of the actions that. That President Biden has taken and et cetera. Here's the issue, though, and Bill Melugin has also addressed this.

The issue with her claim here is that there was a point when you had Venezuelans and people coming in from Nicaragua, Cubans, et cetera. After there was a ever so slight policy change. That is when you saw a minor dip, but then the problem was that it exploded by like 800-something percent. I mean, just apparently. This On the very day, so yesterday, when she said this, according to Chief Raul Ortiz, who is the chief of U.S.

Border Patrol, he reported. That at the border in a 72-hour span, there were alone 22,000 apprehensions.

So I just want to reiterate, in 72 hours, there were over 22,000 apprehensions. And that number doesn't include the gotaways. He reported that in the past 72 hours, this is the Border Patrol Chief, Raul Ortiz, that two agents were assaulted. There were approximately 22,220 apprehensions, 806 pounds of methamphetamine confiscated, 62 pounds of cocaine. They had five maritime events, two sex offenders, two trailer events, convicted murderers, and gang members that were coming across that they apprehended.

This, again, does not include the gotaways.

So for her to say something as asinine as this Completely belies the actual facts. It's almost like you have the administration that's not even at all whatsoever talking. to Border Patrol. They're completely They're completely at odds with Border Patrol. In 2021 alone, And this is according to.

I'm looking at Customs and Border Patrol, their website. It's cbp.gov. and they have their data that they tabulate. and they put it up there regularly.

Now, according to Border Patrol alone, They had in 2021 1,734,686 illegal entrants who tried to illegally cross into the country at the southern border. In 2022, that number expanded to 2,378,944. And they're still tabulating March through April's number, so we don't have that yet. But apparently, we are on record to beat that. We are on record to beat that.

Now, I have no idea why Corrine Jean-Pierre is up there stating the absolute opposite. You have Aleandro Majorkis. You have Corrine Jean-Pierre, you have the vice president, you have all of these people who are out there saying that this isn't they don't they won't acknowledge that it's a crisis. They say that this is, you know, this is an issue that's that it's it's solved. They act like it's a solved issue.

And they couldn't be further from the truth. And this is it's it's asinine. Even in Alejandro Majorkis, I mean. He, when Raul Ortiz, and again, chief of Border Patrol, when he testified. Before Congress, he was saying that the United States, he told members of Congress, the United States does not have operational control.

With its southern border, even though Aleandro Maoricus is out there saying, well, no, we totally do, it's completely under control. There's there is there's no reason. For her to go out and lie to everyone, people can see what's happening at the border themselves. And she actually had the audacity to try to dodge all of the criticism of this and push it back. On Republicans.

She had said that Republicans, quote, have continued to use this as a political stunt, a political tool, and not actually come to the table to have a conversation on how to, you know, she's talking about protect people who are trying to enter the country illegally. Oh my gosh. It is Unbelievable. And so I And Just I mean, I don't even it's stunning. It's stunning.

But we have this Title 42. I mean, it's down 40, it's down 90%. Down 90%. It's down so much.

Well, then, why is it that you have Chicago mayor? Alcohol Mayor Lori Lightfoot begging Greg Abbott to stop sending illegal Aliens to Chicago if it's down by more than 20%. Why do you have Eric Adams? Who is a absolute I'm sorry, he is an ass. That man is an ass.

I know that some people try to sit here and try. I'm not at all either going to mince my words on this. This is disgusting An elected official goes To the public and has the audacity, you want to talk about it, we don't have a problem, it's down 90%. Why is Mayor Eric Adams out there saying, Oh, please, Governor Abbott, don't send us any more illegal aliens? And then he has the audacity to say, well, they're sending he's sending illegal aliens only to the black cities.

He's sending illegal aliens only to black cities, black mayors. How about he's sending People who entered the country illegally to cities that have declared themselves to be sanctuary cities, Eric Adams. What does that have to do with your skin color? That is such a lazy dodge. It is a lazy, unintellectual, and absolutely illiberal dodge of your responsibility.

If you did not want people being shipped to your city, then maybe you should not have declared yourself a sanctuary city. Maybe you should not be giving people free iPhones. Maybe you should not be giving them free cell phone service. Maybe you should not be putting cash in pocket. Maybe you should not be putting them up in nice hotels in downtown Manhattan after declaring yourself a sanctuary city if you did not want people to be sent to Manhattan.

Golly. I'm so tired of this race card being played. It is a lazy, illiberal dodge. The moment somebody hits racism, I'm like, you're lazy. You are a lazy non-thinker.

I mean I would say more, but I be fined. I think it is evil. It is a sin and it is evil. evil. Evil to its core.

To sit here and say, well, you know, we can't deal with all these people that you're sending to us because. I'm a black mayor. You're a sanctuary city. Democrats campaigned. Oh look, these evil Republicans.

We are sanctuary cities. Shall I spend the rest of the week's show playing all their ads? Shall I spend the rest of the week's show going through bit by bit? How all of these Democrats, including His Honor Eric Adams. How they all went.

And they campaigned on, oh, we are so much more compassionate. We are a sanctuary city. These Republicans hate people. Oh my gosh, they're sending them here? Call the National Guard.

We can't have them trampling on the hydrangeas in Martha's vineyard. Oh, no, I do declare. That's what they did. That's how they reacted. Call the National Guard.

Who knows what they were thinking? Oh my gosh, they were terrified. Oh, you know, the compassion. Spare me. It's all theatre.

No, it's gonna get worse. It's gonna get worse. And it's going to be on Democrats' hands.

Now, Biden has called a debt ceiling meeting a week from today. Yeah. You know, he's He's gotta call a lid, Kane. I mean, he's busy doing whatever the hell he does when he calls a lid and goes to Delaware. I don't know.

What does he do there? He's always in the basement. What does he do? I don't know what he does. Mom, meatloaf.

I don't know. Jenny Ellen says save the date because June 1st is the Debt ceiling drop dead date. I'm gonna be honest with you. Um Kinda just let's burn it all down. Let it go.

Yeah. I got I got stockpiles. L and let it go. Right? I mean, I'm at I'm at that point.

I'm at that point. I said last night, we either need Jesus or Smod. I'd take both. But I'll have one or the other. But that's that's the d that is the drop dead date.

Apparently. And so I don't know. I... will see one of the big fights is this fight that had to do with The big corn and ethanol, which is so weird because some of the people who are. The strongest on tax reform have been out there like implying that somehow.

Ending corn subsidies is a tax increase. Which is like saying that if you give people a tax cut that you're spending money. It's not the same thing. We're going to talk more about this here in the next couple of days.

Now on top of all of this, the First Republic Story. I had this in your headlines. If you sign up for the newsletter over at chapter and verse, substack, this came out to you this morning in your Uh your subscribed headlines if you get that. And the feds have seized First Republic Bank's second biggest bank failure in United States history, JPMorgan, is set to assume control. FDIC seized it.

They're handing over control of its assets, all of it to JPMorgan. It was heading off a near collapse that they said would have already rocked an already financial, sensitive financial sector, reeling from the collapse of tech-aligned banks, et cetera, et cetera. Silicon Valley Bank, New York Signature Bank. Wall Street Journal said that J.P. Morgan is going to assume all of First Republic's $92 billion in deposits, insured and uninsured.

Okay, so here's what I want to know. What's it going to cost you? Hmm? I mean, we, there's a. I mean, how are you going to foot the bill?

$13 billion to take over and sell. First Republic to J.P. Morgan. That's the federal government. They initially, FDIC estimated that the cost was going to be via daily caller about $13 billion.

That was the press release that they had.

Now they're going to charge fees to recoup their losses. That's going to be passed down to. Everybody else according to economists. Daily Caller News Foundation, FDIC gets its money from banks by levying fees, and those changes are passed on to customers. To cover the cost of the three recent bank collapses, the FDIC is going to levy a special assessment that's going to increase the cost that we're paying.

Who? We're all gonna pay more. We are the we that's And Biden said, taxpayers, I'm going to quote him, he said this at the National Small Business Week event: quote, taxpayers are not the ones that are on the hook. Lies. We have a lot more.

I haven't even gotten through half of what is just in the first segment of this hour.

Now, Kitty. Kitty diddlers could get the death penalty now in Florida. Yes. Dream come true. Drag them.

We've got that. Hunter Biden is being forced to answer questions about his finances. The judge, after that his appearance in court in Arkansas, judge said, No, you can't hide and you can't redact it. You got to do it. And they're coming after your leaf blowers.

What? Man, somebody I'm gonna just say, Papa is gonna lose his ever-loving mind. As colleges and universities across the country hold their graduations, I'd like to highlight a place where students receive the best classical liberal arts education in America. And when these students graduate, they've studied the great books, the history of Western civilization and of America, and the meaning and history of the Constitution. Can you guess who I'm talking about?

I'm talking about Hillsdale College. Hillsdale was founded in 1844 to offer the kind of education needed to preserve civil and religious liberty and holds true to that mission while refusing to accept one penny of taxpayer funding, not even indirectly, in the form of student grants and loans. Hillsdale students also abide by an honor code, which ensures a unity of purpose and fosters lively civil and intelligent debate. See for yourself and learn from Hillsdale for free through their influential speech digest in Primus and by taking online courses on American history, the Constitution, and other subjects.

Okay, so Steve, here's your three. Because Steve was really worried last week. He's like, who's the third one? Gordon Lightfoot, who he. Totally Canadian.

I don't know why I didn't know he was Canadian. I didn't know he was Canadian. Anyway, Gordon Lightfoot has passed away, leaves behind six children. Several grandchildren. He was apparently one of the, I mean, a major, obviously, one of the best-selling recording artists for Canadians.

So he's passed away.

So that's the third. We had, because we always, it happens in threes. It's my grandmother's rule, which still lives on after her passing. I don't know. Speaking of which, scientists discover, what a segue.

What happens seconds after your die? Seconds after you die? Apparently, they say that activity in the brain and heart ramps up. Mm. Mmm.

They said it's a Surgeon Bravewave activity just before. Death. Interesting. Just understand. Oh boy, our friend Larry sent us this.

He is like one of the funniest people that listens to the show and follows along live. Las Vegas's only alphabet, LGBTQ Hotel, is going to. bring a sense of community. Guys, the thing is called The bent in. The Bent Inn, I-N-N, the Bent Inn.

That is literally the name of it. It used to be known as the Moonlight Hotel. It's going to open as the bent in. Oh baha. Operated by owners Mark Hunter.

And Greg Hofka. It's the only alphabet property in the valley. Really? Got to have like a special, like, this is the hotel for people who have sex like this. Like, that's.

I don't know. I have more, but I can't stop talking about this story. Stick with us. YouTube, Facebook, or DirecTV. If you're looking for the number one afternoon host in the country, you've found her.

Download the podcast every day to catch up. The Dana Show. I didn't expect to hear anything back, but I felt like it was important to once again try to engage the governor, but also let him know what his policies and practices are doing in cities like Chicago. We are completely tapped out. We have no more space, no more resources, and frankly, we're already in a surge.

We've been seeing over the last week two to three, 200 plus people coming to Chicago every single day. Yeah, and it's going to get worse. It's going to get worse, Laurie. It's going to get worse. Welcome back to the show.

You were pent up rage filled curimudgeon here today. And it is it's good to it's good to be with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can also stream the program. You can watch the simulcast of the radio program on Facebook, YouTube, where we have great discussions and Channel 347 DirecTV.

Well, Tough Beans, did you know Chi Chicago has been a sanctuary city since 1985. Might be part of the problem. That's when the mayor of the time, Harold Washington, issued an executive order. declaring that the city was a sanctuary city, and they prohibited city employees from enforcing federal immigration laws. And it's evolved be beyond even that.

They've always provided resources, and then you have this administration. They was handing out free phones, free cell phones. All kinds of stuff. I mean, I remember what wasn't there weren't there like cash incentives too? I mean All of this to incentivise.

The illegal crossing of the border. The Obama administration spent $18 billion. With uh some of this. I mean, they this was a lot. I mean, it is If, when you are advertising yourself as a sanctuary city for years, as Chicago has done.

When you talk about the lodgings that you provide, the services that you provide. People are given drivers' licenses. In some instances, people who enter the country illegally are allowed to vote. Which blows the mind. And then you're gonna get mad because The border towns can't handle the influx.

I was telling you, some of these numbers, it is. astronomical.

Some of these numbers for this. What was it? They uh Because we're like, what, 10 days away? I don't even think 10 days away. How many from Title 42 being lifted?

Yeah, nine days. Number Homeland Security. Believes that when Title 42 expires, you're going to see over 13,000 illegal immigrants crossing the border. Per day. Per day.

That's several times larger than the city in which I was born. Per day. You have Alendro Mayorkis, who shared with you the New York Times piece, where The New York Times is actually writing how they were a little troubled that all of these kids that were being brought over by coyotes just disappeared. and then they started popping up in factories. There's like this whole racket.

An adult goes in for the interview, and a kid shows up for the job. Department of Homeland Security doesn't do anything. They don't track it. They don't do anything. This is it's going to be a disaster.

And the administration, they say they're sending 1,500 active duty troops to the border ahead of Title 42 ending. They're not going to be on the border. The way that it was explained is that they're going to fill what they call critical capability gaps. Data entry, warehouse support, some some ground-based detection and monitoring. They said that's until Customs and Border Patrol can address those needs through contracted support.

They added that they will not be doing any law enforcement work. They said that soldiers will be armed but only for self-defense purposes. Troops will not apprehend illegal immigrants. They will only carry out administrative work to free up Border Patrol agents to be out in the field.

Well, just so you know, there haven't been a lot of Border Patrol agents doing administrative work anyway.

So you're not really freeing up that much more of them. That's a joke. That's an absolute joke. Why the hell even send them in the first place? I don't want to hear the whole, oh, well, you know, they have to have more agents down there to process.

Do you know how many agents? Are actually not doing that now because they have to be out there in the field. They act like they're going down there and relieving all of these hundreds or thousands of agents. They're not. There's not that many doing it.

I know this for a fact. There's not that many doing it. That's why they process everybody just goes through. Oh my gosh, do people, do these, did these reporters that write these stories, do they not remember? It's one of the reasons.

I think it was CBS that had the st had one of the stories that. discussed how The Um whole issue with How quickly people would have to get processed because there just there there wasn't there weren't really a lot of staff there to do it. And so they just go. Here's your date, come back for like a court, you know, you're with an immigration judge and it never happens.

Now, I get it. They're they have the the a law from 1878 that prevents U.S. active duty military from enforcing domestic laws unless explicitly authorized by U. S. Congress.

I think this is kind of interesting, how Congress is like, wait a minute, we didn't authorize them from enforcing domestic laws. But wait, you don't stop the ATF who aren't allowed. I mean, I'm just I'm kinda They don't stop the they didn't stop the C D C when the C D C was trying to tell people that you didn't have to They didn't have to pay their rent. It's kinda The Passecomatitis Act. Is the Posse comatitis from what, 1878?

Is that what it is? That's the law that. states that active duty military cannot basically act as law enforcement.

So I don't even know what they think this is going to happen here. I don't know how they think this is gonna work. Got a couple of other things that I want to make sure that we hit too. I got really mad yesterday evening. I don't know if you were aware.

Uh but uh It was Yeah. Had to do with a couple of friends of mine. And if you sign up to my email newsletter, Over at Chapter and Verse I wrote about this. And I thought, you know, I normally I don't, you know, we just kind of focus on, you know, real, you know, some news stuff, some culture stuff, things like that. And I explained how.

you know, I know a lot of the people that uh that are in commentary.

Some of them are good friends of mine. And I know a lot of people are really upset over the whole issue with Tucker and Fox. And I get it because I think, you know, Tucker was a friend of mine. He was an absolute gem on that network. And it's just crazy how that all.

It's insane how it all unfolded, and I think it's unfortunate because we are on the right are not so rich in communicators that we can just have something like this without mourning the loss of it, right? He's he's one of I think he revived the lowly television monologue. I don't think many people were paying attention to it until, I mean, they just it just sort of fell out of favor, it fell out of vogue, and he kind of brought it back, I think. And I'm friends with Brian Kilmead, who's a very dear friend of mine. And I'm friends with Lawrence Jones, who I've known for over 10 years.

He was one of the first people that we met when we moved here. I've known him since he was still in college. Brought him over to the Blaze. And watched as he just bloomed. I don't know how else to put it.

Um he's he's he's a talented individual. He's willing to travel literally anywhere and put in the work. And he went to Fox, and Fox smartly put him on the air regularly.

So, what's happening with Tucker Show is that they have a. rotating A cast of guest hosts until they could figure out what's going on with that hour. And so they've had Brent Kilmead host, they have Lawrence Jones hosting, they're going to have other people hosting. And I get it. Like I said, I think that, you know, I understand that people are angry about what had happened.

But some of the stuff that I was seeing yesterday just really kind of blew the mind because people were. I think you can be upset over Tucker without defecating all over every other conservative. Of course, I didn't say it like that on Twitter because I was mad and I still am. But I d I don't want to get fined.

So the issue, what really did it. was watching and I don't r I'm not very familiar with Carol Swain. But she was on social media yesterday and she said, I'm sure Lawrence Jones did not ask to be used as Tucker Carlson's temporary replacement. Given Jones' age and experience, it looks like a race-based affirmative action appointment that allows Fox to virtue signal. That's what she said.

I found that to be abhorrent, and I don't care who the hell you are. And I called her out. I said, no, no, no, we're not doing this. We're not doing this. If anyone thinks this, they do not know how hard Lawrence has worked over the years to get where he is.

And to diminish All of the hard work he has done. with the stroke of affirmative action. It's an insult to his years of growth, to his dedication, and to his talent. It also demonstrates how just insidious. and poisonous affirmative action was in the first place because now Even when merit is present, you don't.

You don't acknowledge it. And I was just, I was floored. I mean, I knew people were upset over. What had happened? And like I said, you know, yeah, I totally get it because these are actual friends of mine off air and offline.

I get it. I mean, but to do something like this. And it was insulting because it it was an insult. I mean, to suggest that he was put on air at 7 p.m. because he's black is ignorance on her part, or it's just plain maliciousness or both.

And so I thought that she would have recognized that, and she didn't. She got irrationally sanctimonious and then tried to flex because that's the hot new trend. to do. You know, I wrote this in Grace Canceled. When you screw up, the hot new thing to do is continue to flex like a fruitcake instead of just like acknowledge, wow, that was, you know.

I mean, we rightfully call out people who falsely accuse innocent people of racism because to accuse somebody of such a moral failing is itself a moral failing because it ironically. relies on racism itself. in order to complete the accusation. And so too is to ignore a person's merit. and claim that someone was chosen for a role.

Outside of Meritocracy for their skin color alone. Both are abhorrent.

Now, like I said, she might have stopped and corrected herself and apologized to Lawrence, but. The grace-killing hubris, which has long infected the left. has ins has infected the right too. And I like reconciliation more than I like a reckoning. But sometimes life always doesn't give me what I want, and if I can't get one, I will take the other.

So, like I said, whatever is going on with Fox and Tucker is entirely separate from suggesting that a lifelong Christian conservative. And I'll have to say, because I know a lot of these people on television, I've seen what they act like when they have a glass of wine. I've seen what they act like when they're out with friends at the bar at CPAC. Oh yeah, I've seen some of this. Cain's seen it too.

Lawrence is one of the only one of the very few people. who is exactly how he is in real life as he is on television. And I hate to say it, but There's not I mean, every every industry has its faults and everything has fallen. Really? We're all a horrible bunch of people.

But You'd be shocked. Just because the R is by the name, or just because they can wear a cross necklace, does not, that is not, that's not given to you by angels because they think that you're so good. Right, people went and bought that in a store.

So. My whole point is that Whatever's going on with Fox and Tucker is entirely separate from suggesting that a lifelong Christian conservative. got into this guest host rotation. Not because of his talent, but because he's black. I mean, conflating the two to dodge responsibility for the progressive reasoning on the second doesn't fly.

And I know most conservatives are better than this, but it really shocks me to see people who ought to be grown folks, people who ought to be stalwarts, attacking allies for an issue which the ally had nothing to do. Lawrence didn't cause Tucker to leave. Brian didn't cause Tucker to leave. That's between Tucker and Fox. Lawrence didn't create the drama, he's doing his job.

And regardless, a shot. you know, at Tucker's former hour is an honor to lesser known hosts. And Lars isn't undeserving. To point out that he's a good person and his experience got him a spot in guest rotation is not to deny Tucker for the love. Golly.

And he's not Tucker, and he's not trying to be. And you know what? Knowing Tucker, he'd be one of the first people. to congratulate whoever got it. I hate seeing good conservative people caught up in a storm that they didn't create and waylaid for nothing.

And I do not like at all. Seeing our side allow emotions to overtake logic. And our reasoning capabilities. We are not the left. Running on emotion is what the left does, it is not what we do.

And when we copy them, we lose our advantage. Black Rifle Coffee Company set out on a mission to make the best cup of coffee that's ever hit your mug.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Muslim culture is woven throughout the American culture in music, film, literature, fashion, and the arts. And the cheer for Muslim, we cheer for Muslim athletes like Kareem Al-Jubarah, Abdul Jabbar, I know him and I said mispronounce his name. I smell toast. Oh my gosh, I don't even know what.

Um I think I probably would have tackled him on the stage at that point if I was a staffer. You guys, come on. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. is It's like I was telling Kane Juan and Steve on break. It's like Cher, Madonna.

Everybody knows who Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is. Everybody knows. I mean, that's like one of the first words out of kids' mouths if they're into sports. Mauntead Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I mean, everybody knows who he is.

Who doesn't? Oh, my gosh Not Biden. Is it that like the what does that mean, the small toast thing?

Well it's a Like when you're experiencing a stroke, oh my gosh, the symptoms are you smell toast. At least that's what I hear. I did not know that.

Now I'm going to freak out if I ever smell toast. I know. Every time I make toast, I get freaked out. Yeah, I know. I'm smelling the toast I'm making.

Is this a stroke? It's a meme.

Okay, so coming up in our second hour, we got. Oh my gosh, I don't know how we're going to get everything in. DeSantis is signed, he signed a bill authorizing the death penalty for child rapists. I'm all about that. This is going to be also a major Supreme Court challenge because of an existing case that was as bad as Roe v.

Wade. We're going to talk about some of the mechanics of that. And we got to protect leaf blowers at all costs, a whole bunch of other stuff. Wokery, you don't want to miss. Stick with us.

When you see judicial rot running rampant in American companies embracing insanity and wokery, you got to fight back. Starting with the way that we spend our money.

On Friday evening, a nine-year-old child was murdered along with four others in yet another shocking, horrific act of gun violence in America, this time in Cleveland, Texas. Two of the women killed were discovered on top of surviving children and appeared to be shielding them from gunfire.

In all, five people were murdered by an individual armed with a powerful AR-15 style rifle. As the manhunt for the suspected assailant continues, we urge the public to heed all guidance from law enforcement officials and stay safe. She looks like a green screen. She's dressed in green screen attire. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour. can listen across the country. Can stream the show, watch it online, Facebook, YouTube, all good discussion there. Channel 347 DirecTV.

Uh she didn't mention where the dude's from. Yeah. Why he's here? Yeah, why is he here? How'd he get his gun?

Is he? Pray tell, here Lawfully? Because all signs in the magic eight ball that is all the reporting of the internet say no.

Alright.

So he's not here lawfully. How did he get his quote unquote AR style? What the I'm so Oh my gosh, I just am not even gonna make it through the show without screaming. It's one of those days. A R style.

That's like saying a Mercedes-style Kia. Like, what is that? Shut up with this. They didn't even understand. There's several different types of platforms.

Just because it's black and looks shooty doesn't necessarily mean it's an AR18. Anyway. Oh. But my my bigger thing is why she didn't get into Like What was the other? Because the guy has a violent history.

She can't talk about that though, because then she's got to get into his history of getting deported. repeatedly.

So here's the, I gotta, we gotta address this, this thing.

So this is such a stupid headline.

So this is from the Daily Beast. Ready? Here's the headline. Texas Governor walks back statement calling shooting victims illegal immigrants. That was my best used car salesman.

Get out your checkbook. I mean, that was like my Sunday. He walks back. The statement came calling shooting victims illegal immigrants.

Well, why is that? Because only one. One of the victims had the permanent legal residence status.

Okay? The r okay, and The remaining work What does this have to people are more upset over this than they are the fact that people were murked. What is your damage? I mean, I know people got murdered, but can you believe G Abbott's words? Yes, these people were totally brutally massacred, but Greg Abbott's mouth.

Jeez. That's our media and the left. And then the so the killer was here illegally. The remainder Oh, the victims were hilly. The media is acting like open border activists somehow successfully.

Lobbied to get Abbott to remove any mention of legal status. They're focusing more on this than the actual murder. Wait a minute, you said murder by illegal. Can you believe he said illegal aliens? I mean, wait, the murder.

But the illegal aliens, though, the words. Words are violence. Oh, and then you have Time Magazine's tweet. Oh boy. Listen to this headline.

Who boy This was yesterday, friends. Quote, it's from Time magazine. Quote. A Texas man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an eight year old and four others inside the house after the family asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep, said authorities Saturday. A Texas man went next door.

A Texas man? You're calling a dude here illegally who was deported five times a Texas man? Did you just dead country him? Mm. Same principle, right?

I mean, I'm just curious. He a Texas man. He's not a Texas man. Again, he is literally here legally and he was deported five times.

Now what gets me over this? Even more so, because everyone's talking about the language surrounding it. Although we were talking about the murder and, like, ultimately, who were the people most terrorized by illegal immigration. But the media and the left have been so focused on the words, they have to be, so that they don't indict themselves because their policies cause these sorts of things. But.

They The c it's it's The crazy thing is, they also ignored the fact that the FBI. Where they originally Like put out the photo of this dude, the killer? It was the wrong dude. They put out. The photo of the wrong dude.

They had some rando. whose name was kinda similar. And They put his driver's license picture out. The dude's brother. Had to get On Uh social media And say, quote, that is my brother who was wrongly accused, a married man with a family and a career.

This is damaging to a person.

So then, an hour after that, FBI Houston responded to using the wrong image and attributing it to the suspect. They made another clarification because they misspelled the name, too. That's what I was saying. was similar, I guess. They Oh, my gosh I can't even.

So they This is not the first time they got the wrong guy. Do you remember? Uh on April 5th. Uh This this was uh CNN. Let me open.

I can't. I know. I don't like citing it either, but they have the story. The FBI and the Army and Army members raided the wrong hotel room during a training exercise and literally detained a guest. I mean But can you spell Can you spell woke though?

That's what's most important. Members of the FBI and U.S. Army Special Operations Command, they were conducting a training exercise in downtown Boston. They legit raided the wrong room and then detained the poor guests inside before realizing what was wrong. They realized that they must stop.

This was literally. just last month that this happened. They said that the exercise was meant to enhance their skills. No one was injured. Oh, thankfully.

Yeah. They said that the person who was in the hotel room and detained By federal law enforcement, it was an employee with Delta Air. Can you imagine Delta Air, a flight not taking off on time because somebody. Wait, how? How do you go into the wrong room?

When you're doing a training exercise. Because the easiest part is to make sure that the information is correct, right? Especially if it's a training exercise. But the point is that this is not the first time this has happened. Then they had to actually.

Tweet that they were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and they detained an individual, not the intended role player. I really want to know how long it took them to figure out that it was actually a person. and not the role player. I wonder if they're like, this is great acting.

So good. This is like a berry situation. With Bill Hayter. This is like an episode this would be like an episode from that.

So Here It's not the first time.

So this um oh, by the way, the civilian dude was a pilot. By the way, when I say Delta Airlines employee, it was a pilot. You know, the person who flies the plane? Who's that guy? The pilot.

They cuffed him and everything. Can you what if he had to go fly a plane? Can you imagine? I'm in caught in a training exercise. They had cuffed him, interrogated him, and put him in a shower before they realized that it was a mistake.

Wow. If you're wondering how long it took them to realize, I'll bet. A little bit. Interrogated, put him in a shower. Oh my gosh But hey, everybody's mad at Greg Abbott because Greg Abbott Literally said the correct thing.

But one person, Dana. One person. People were marked. Stop dodging. Golly Now We were telling you how the administration is considering sending.

Well, they are sending all these people down to the border. That you know, but I don't know why because Crision Pierre just said it's down by 90%. Why do they need to send anybody down there in the first place? I just don't know. I don't know.

Doesn't make any sense. Not at all.

So One of the things we're going to be discussing here coming up. is this uh story. That has to do. With uh Governor Ron DeSantis, he signed this bill. authorizing the death penalty.

for child rapists. And it's And I am so glad for this. It's going to challenge this Supreme Court case, which we're going to talk about here coming up. It's going to challenge Kennedy versus Louisiana. This was a decision in 2008.

And I remember that was the first year I was on radio. And It was I just remember looking at the specifics of this case and trying to figure out how in the world I was going to talk about something so horrific on air because it. It involved the absolutely brutal rape. of an eight-year-old girl who required surgery. Her injuries were so significant.

It is it's like oh my gosh. And The response that DeSantis had because it's in it's going to intentionally challenge this Phi four Kennedy v. Louisiana decision. And that decision prohibited the death penalty in cases when the victim survived.

Now, from that 2008 case, and we're going to talk with Carrie Severino here coming up because she was clerking for Clarence Thomas at the time. She was there when all this was happening. And she said it was really troubling. Because at one point it was I think it wasn't it just I think it was Justice Breyer. Who are just a Steve I'll look at here.

But she had said at one point that there was this uh questioning. To determine exactly, you know, okay, so how. Injured was the individual? Was it permanent? Was it a permanent injury?

It was Justice Stevens. She said that he asked this really whacked-out question to the assistant DA to clarify that this eight-year-old gruesome rape victim. didn't have any permanent injury. And he was trying to figure out whether or not. You know, it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment to have death penalty for a child rapist if the eight-year-old was not permanently injured after.

I mean without I'm just so because we're going to talk about the mechanics of the case with her. It was so bad. I'm going to read. I need you to understand this. This is what we're dealing with, and you need to understand it.

It is a savage. And the details are necessary because this was one of the determinations brought into. the reasoning for whether or not death penalty could be allowed. Um Give you a moment in case you. The victim was so brutally raped, her.

perineal opening. vaginal opening um Uh rectum, everything was torn. Her interior was literally partially separated from her cervix. Which allowed the rectum to protrude into her. female copulatory region.

They had to have invasive emergency surgery immediately. And Justice Stevens at one point had said, could you just clarify, were the injuries permanent? And what a horrifying Question. And they were trying to argue at the time, there were some of the liberal justices that seemed to be pushing towards. The idea that, yeah, there's a lot of bad, horrible things that have happened, you know, prior that didn't, that weren't eligible for the death penalty.

But Then Scalia interrupted and said, No, that's inaccurate. It's historical that absolutely they did execute people for those things. And they finally had to get Breyer to agree to that. We're going to talk to Carrie Severino about this because this is going to challenge that case. It is a huge case.

And it's a b it's ba it's as bad, honestly, as Roe v. Wade. I think if the logic is as bad as Roe v. Wade. And it's going to be a major challenge of this case.

We're going to talk to Carrie Severino about this because this is coming. This is absolutely going to happen. You've heard me talk about my friends at Keltech for years, and it's because I really believe in them as a company and as innovators.

Oh, well, all of the writers in Hollywood for film and TV are going on strike beginning today, throwing Hollywood in turmoil. The Writers Guild of America called its first work stoppage in 15 years. They failed to reach an agreement for higher pay from studios like Walt Disney and Netflix. They said that the company's behaviors created a gig economy inside of a union workforce, the WGA said in a statement on its website.

Now, to that point, late-night comedy shows have shut down. Because no one's there to write their funny haha lines for them. It actually might be the best thing that's ever happened. I don't know that I oppose this. IBM said it could replace 7,800 employees, roughly.

With AI. International Business Machines IBM, their CEO said that the company is expecting to pause their hiring for jobs that he says could be done with AI. He says that hiring in back office jobs will be slowed down in the coming year. 30% of the 26,000 jobs being replaced by AI.

So that's about 7,800 would be lost. Whoo, boy. Wow. I'm, man, I'm telling you, there's gonna be some. Realignment.

A seven-year-old bearded man wins a women's poker tournament. Was that UK? No. No, okay. It was in Florida.

A 70-year-old man won the World Poker Tour at a ladies' event in Florida. He signed up for the female-only contest because he could pretend to identify a woman, because they allow anything nowadays, he said. He did it just to make a point.

So I think it's actually kind of funny. Also, the New York police, they're busy searching for a guy who pooped on two pride flags. Oh my goodness, get your hate crimes task force out to investigate hate crimes. I mean, normally it would be like public defecation, and that's gross no matter what, but specifically because it's an alphabet flag. It's aggravated harassment.

So they're looking at the guy who pooped on two flags. I mean, you know, sometimes it happens. Up next, there's no good way to segue.

So, we've been discussing this Kennedy v. Louisiana case. This is what DeSantis signed into law in Florida, the child rapist death penalty, that could challenge this case. We'll talk to Carrie Severino next. Between Twitter, Facebook, or any of your social media, there's a lot of information out there.

That's why your lovable curmudgeon is here to help you make sense of it all, live or on demand. The Dana Show. And so we think that that decision was wrong. We think that in the worst of the worst cases, the only appropriate punishment is the ultimate punishment. And so the bill sets up a procedure to be able to challenge that precedent and to be able to say that in Florida, we think that the worst of the worst crimes deserve the worst of the worst punishment.

And that was the announcement that the governor made yesterday when he signed. What lawmakers gave him, and what he also advocated for: a bill that authorizes the death penalty for convicted child rapists. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. You can listen coast to coast in a market near you.

You can stream the radio program. You can also watch the simulcast of the program, Facebook, YouTube, or Channel 347 DirecTV.

Now, this law. Which permits capital punishment for people who commit sexual abattery against children under 12 years old? This calls into question. a Supreme Court case. And that's a 2008 case, Kennedy versus Louisiana, which prohibited the death penalty.

In the cases where the victim survived. And I know it seems a little, that seems kind of crazy because child rape, it's, I mean, there's, there were, it's just, it's appalling, and you have a victim who relives it every single day of their life, and especially if there's permanent damage, which brings me to. To a tweet that I had seen yesterday that was retweeted into my timeline from Carrie Severino. And the tweet was she was explaining How She was clerking for Justice Thomas when this case was being determined in 2008. And there was She re she related this horrific Q and A Where Justice Stevens was asking about that, the permanent injury, and we For the sake of not having to, so we can look focus on the mechanics here.

We were talking a little bit about the severity of what happened to this victim in this case. It's just a horrific thing. Carrie Severino joins us now via the phone, and she is with JCN, and she's also the co-author of the best-selling book, Justice on Trial, The Kavanaugh Confirmation, and the Future of the Court. We've had her on the program before. Carrie, so good to have you back.

I thought your timeline was incredibly insightful because this does set up a pretty significant Supreme Court challenge. If the Supreme Court Hears it.

So, with Kennedy versus Louisiana, do you think is it? Do you believe that maybe the court is going to hear this? Is there hesitancy? Do you think? Because it doesn't mean it's a guarantee, even if it challenges it.

Yes, although I think in this case it's going to be the type of case that the Supreme Court would want to hear. Because what would happen is if someone challenges this law. Um That a state's law would be struck down. And there are some times when it's like, okay, well, one circuit's interpreting some federal statute a little different than another, but they might wait until it becomes a deeper or more serious issue with the conflict. Before they take it.

In this kind of case, where you have a a state that's presumably going to have its law struck down, I think they feel like they have to take it to make sure that there's not that that's only happening when it's absolutely correct. And as you pointed out, this is a case that I think there is a real question as to whether the underlying case is correct, saying that you simply Can't have the death penalty in a case of child rape when it's very clear that in the early years of our republic, when the Eighth Amendment was passed. When it said no cruel unusual punishment, they did not view. Uh pu c punishing someone who had committed in this case, I mean, it was a brutal. Brutal rape of this man's, I think it was stepdaughter, eight years old, really shocking, had to have emergency surgery to repair.

Some of the physical damage, really outrageous.

So, the idea that this, somehow, our founding fathers would not have thought that was totally appropriate. That's not cruel and usual, that is justice. In that case, it's just not true. Yeah, and you noticed this as well. We're talking with Carrie Severino.

You can find her on Twitter at JCN Severino. You noted that, you were horrified. You said, I still remember being horrified when Justice Stevens asked a bizarre question to the Assistant District Attorney to clarify. That the eight-year-old gruesome rape victim didn't have any permanent injury. That was sort of the reasoning that some of those who wanted to ban the the the death penalty for being used in this, they thought that you had to have permanent injury in order to to to substantiate that penalty.

Yeah, I mean, hello. Permanent injury, it's hard to even begin, especially as a mother with daughters, you know, but anyone can imagine. Is there how could you not have permanent injury and and and of course that was part of the response was like of course I mean yes eventually she was able to recover from her physical injuries although I come on I I don't believe that there weren't even longstanding repercussions just to the the surgery alone but the idea that that raping a child like that would not result in permanent injury is insane and you know heartless Yes. And I love that you noted that sc that that uh Justice Breyer was forced to admit that there were a lot of horrible crimes that, you know, had been, you know, they even that hadn't for the prior 43 years at least, you said, been eligible for the death penalty. And How Scalia jumped in to know, yeah, actually, they did.

They did execute people for those things. And Breyer had to agree, yes, they actually did. That's correct. It was very, you said it was a very revealing moment, which I, I mean, I was fascinated by your timeline because it really gave insight into, you know, what kind of interpretation Breyer and some of these other justices were embracing. But now, when we look at the makeup of the court, it has changed.

And it's interesting that those who were dissenting, you know, there's still some of those justices there, whereas the others, they're no longer on the bench.

So this could be a very different outcome. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, Justice Alito wrote the dissent. The Chief Justice, Justice Thomas are all still at the court.

And it's really a clash of two different ways to look at this. I mean, so we have the Eighth Amendment, no cruel and unusual punishment, right? What does that mean? Does it mean what it meant when it was passed? If so, it's clear that not just child rape, but there's a lot of things at the time they would have said, you know, yeah, those are serious punishments.

But that's not what we're talking about. They were talking about things like drawing and quartering and torture, things that now we can't even imagine a modern country doing. But that was the kind of stuff happening in England that they were responding to, right?

So they were talking about something very differently.

Now you've got this other version, which Justice Breyer was embracing there, but which the Kennedy versus Louisiana opinion embraced. And there are still justices who say who say, well, yeah, but that's a moving target. That's a changing standard.

So if now we have more and more states that are saying, well, maybe you can't have the death penalty for rape. Maybe you can't have it for child rape. Maybe you can't have it for these things. Their idea is once enough states Or as many states as they feel like, because there's no real clear number. Once we feel like, well, we've moved beyond that.

Now it's unconstitutional. And that's a very different way of looking at it. I think there's you can amend the Constitution. We certainly could say it make that a different standard and say we won't have any death penalty. But you have to amend it.

You don't get a justice to just say, I think that's beyond the pale. I don't think we should be able to do that. That's not how our Constitution is amended. We're talking with Carrie Savarino with JCN. You mentioned the changing standards.

And this is the, as I've seen it discussed on some left sites as well who've been noting this, the evolving standard of decency. I kind of find that weird in the society that we have that people would make an appeal to the evolving standard of decency considering some of the stuff that we're dealing with, for instance, in classrooms, et cetera. Really, we're going to cite that as a reason to not approach this? Yeah, yeah.

Well, and it's something that I think Justice Scalia brought up and the arguments as well of like, well, in that theory, what what if a country what if countries said, hey, you know, we're gonna eliminate the death penalty for certain crimes, and then it went back the other way.

Now do you take that into consideration as well? And I think that's that's a real problem because what they the what the people on the one side of the case want to do is create this one way ratchet. Because they just want to get rid of it altogether. And okay, fine, that's a fine policy position to have, but this is not a legitimate way to go about. that process is to say, well, my view is the evolved way of looking at it.

You know, it's like, I'm so enlightened. No, we'll look at it and see what the Constitution actually says. And again, you can make an argument for let's amend that. And you can make an argument if you're a citizen of Louisiana and say, you know, I don't think our state should punish. uh raping a you know a an underage child So brutally that she has to have emergency.

I don't think that should be punished with the death penalty. Fine, make that argument. But that's but don't try to make the judges import their own personal decisions into the actual language of the Constitution. There were some that were criticizing the change. From what I understand, the law that was signed requires an 8-4 decision to impose the death penalty instead of a unanimous vote once the defendant has been convicted.

How significant of a change is that? Because I see some people who I don't think, I don't know, I don't know if they're just overreacting or if this is like a serious, you know, what is your thought on that? Because previously it had been a unanimous vote in order to carry this out.

Now it's an 8-4. I would just think something as serious as child rape. I mean, usually these cases are not. I've never seen a case that's been incorrect. I mean, maybe I'm wrong on this, but I wanted to get your thoughts.

Well, you know, you do have to obviously Make sure that we are including due process rights for those accused. Because as horrible as child rape is, it's also horrible to be falsely accused of that, whether you're executed or not, right?

So we want to make sure there are extra safeguards. And so generally, there are, when you have a criminal or a capital potential offense here, it has often a higher standard. And I think there are some arguments back and forth of does it have, it doesn't say in the Constitution it has to be unanimous, but historically it often has been. And so I think there are people who will make arguments back and forth of whether there is an implication that you do have to have a unanimous jury for that.

So that's a separate question. I think it's very clear that the founding era, again, this and a lot of other horrific crimes, and some crimes that today we would be kind of like, oh, we wouldn't want to have the death penalty for that. That was the backdrop that they were operating on.

So they wanted to limit what they would have called cruel and unusual punishments, but that doesn't necessarily mean. Never using the death penalty. In fact, they would have definitely had the death penalty for a lot of cases. And it doesn't necessarily mean that whatever our 21st century views are, is what the founders were doing in the 18th century.

So we have to, our states can have the flexibility where the Constitution doesn't set limits. The states do have the flexibility to make those choices. And so they can choose to have it or not to, but the Constitution shouldn't be invoked. to limit the state in ways that it it's that are just not there in the document itself. That's a great point with all of this.

Last question. We're talking with Carrie Severino with JCN. I know I'm going to be fascinated in watching how the court handles this and how this is argued and what decision they come to when it happens. And so that's the big question. How long does it take before, because from what I understand, they're going to have to ask for a review of the ruling, et cetera, and then go forward from there.

So what does a timeline potentially look like on something like this?

Well, this is, you know, any Supreme Court case is a long timeline. Because if you hear, if they accept a case in, you know. January, they might not hear it till the following fall, and then they might not hear the case till the subsequent June. We're talking even longer out than that, though, because this is a law that hasn't yet even been challenged, to my knowledge. I think it will be, but I don't think they've even started the case.

So, what would happen is you'd have to challenge that case. It's going to have to go through a trial court. That decision could take, you know, who knows, years, right? And then an appeals court has to decide it. Those could take a huge range of length of time, too.

And then the Supreme Court would have to take it.

So, now, in a case like this, You can imagine it going quickly because it is the Supreme Court precedent is very clear and binding. I mean, what Florida has done is clearly contrary to the decision in Kennedy versus Louisiana.

So you don't have to do a lot of fact-binding, a lot of details. You can just say, oh, look, the Supreme Court said you can't do this, you can't do this. then pass it on up. And then if the Eleventh Circuit, the Court of Appeals, is going to say, oh, yep, the Supreme Court said you can't do it, pass that up.

So I think it would go faster than a typical, but we still could be talking about years before the Supreme Court would actually rule. It's so good to see some of these challenged, some of these cases challenged because, I mean, you know, there can be bad rulings. I mean, argued, like, Roe was, you know, bizarrely argued on a privacy issue, which was, I still will never understand how that even passed the muster, but, you know, it did.

So it's good to see some of these being challenged. And of course, we'll see how this plays out. But I so enjoyed your insight into this because that had to have been a bizarre thing to go through. You're listening, you know, you're listening and following this case. You're clerking for Justice Thomas, and it's that you have justices asking, well, is it permanently damaged though?

Because then, I mean, yes, you can have permanent damage without actually seeing it or having it physically.

So that was, I'm so glad that you noted that. Carrie Severino, JCN Severino on Twitter. Always so good to have you. Thank you so much, Carrie, for your insight into that. Have a good day, Dana.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man.

So I gotta tell you, one of my favorite gifts out there. Is the one where you know Oprah was telling everybody, you get a free car, you get a free car, but they changed it to B's. Like it's bees and then somebody like actually put in bees flying everywhere and all these women are screaming and crying because they all got new cars except it on the video it looks like it's bees. Anyway, that's the first thing that I thought of when I saw this headline. A crash unleashes 1 million bees onto a Florida highway.

Now, my first thought was, oh my gosh, are these honeybees? It doesn't say, I think it is because beekeepers were there. This was in Jacksonville. We have got to protect our honeybees at all costs. Like, I will fight any insect for a honeybee.

I will protect all honeybees.

So, a semi-truck was hauling these beehives, crashed early Tuesday. And it released all these bees. I mean, oh, and they, it was a home to a million of them. And it was in Baldwin outside of Jacksonville city limits. Nobody was hurt except the hives.

And all these confused bees were gathering around the truck.

So, beekeepers had to unload the intact hives into another truck. Then they had to later reopen the highway. I'm so glad that they took care because the world is going to go to hell if we lose our honeybees. I swear to you, I saved a honey bee. out of um the pool the other day.

I mean, I totally did. I was like, I will drown myself to save this bee because I don't, because they pollinate. I feel very strongly about pollination. Anyway. Um I can't.

I oh my gosh.

Okay, I gotta do this one. I was on the fence as to whether I was gonna talk about this. I got a couple of them here. Hang on. Yeah.

All right, first off, this Florida man created an actual, this is amazing, and I want it. A jet ski scooter. to ride onto the road. And the crazy thing is, because of the way that the shadow is, you can't see the wheels and it looks like he's floating. And I love it.

He literally made a jet ski. Scooter. And he rides around on jet in Jacksonville. And he said, if he tried to put it in the water, it would sink because there's a giant hole in the bottom.

So it's just for the road. It's actually kind of, is it? It's like road legal, isn't it road legal? Yeah. And a Florida woman, we'll talk more about this tomorrow.

She's suing over a male-only admission policy at a clothing optional gay resort. Why would you want to go to that sausage fest? I don't know. All right, stick with us. We've got more to come.

Last week the President signed an executive order authorizing the use of the National Guard at the southern border in support of counter-narcotics efforts. Can you explain, was that a precursor to today's announcement on the troops? I'm not going to, I'm not going to get into the timeline of it. As you know, we've been making preparations ahead of the lifting of Title 42. We've been very clear about that.

You've heard from the Department of State, DHS as well, on what they're, they had a press conference to lay out what that's going to look like.

So there's been many processes and plans that have been put into place. Don't have any specifics to any timeline that you're asking. She doesn't have any specifics. We have no idea. We're sending trips to the board.

I always don't know. I mean, psyches and stuff and things, you know, just like, I don't know. Mike wet. Oh, whoa, come on. First off, welcome back to the program.

Kane and I are just so. We're trying, man. We both feel like Sam Jackson. In the final scene, which ultimately was the first scene of one of the final scene of Pulp Fiction where they're in the diner. And he's like, listen here, Ringo.

I want you to get my wallet out of that bag out of that bag. And then he tells him, he relates to him and how he's trying really, really hard to be the shepherd. We feel like that today, listening to this stuff. First off, Welcome back. Again, top of our third hour.

You can listen coast to coast, watch the listen to it streaming as well, and you can watch the simulcast of the radio program on Facebook, YouTube. And then, of course, don't forget DirecTV channel 347. We have that as well.

So this.

sound this is just I mean, because they just had the White House press briefing, Karine Jean Pierre, and she said a number of things. First, she has no time line for this. She has no time line for How this is You know, they're sending troops to the border, but she doesn't want to get into the timeline, which is kind of weird. Why wouldn't you want to? She's not here to answer questions at the question and answer session of the.

Why then why even go out and talk to What does she do? I mean, you can't just run through talking points and then be like, I can't give you any answers. I just don't know. That was can you also gear up the uh what I dropped Okay, because guys I'm afraid to play this for our audience.

Okay, you guys gotta promise me. You're not going to throw a phone. You're not going to Get mad. It's one of those things where what she's telling you is opposite of what you know to be true with your own bank account.

So, I just want to preface this. Let's all take, we'll get some Enya going. We'll get you calmed down after this. Just. Go ahead and play.

Go ahead. Real wages are higher than they were just nine months ago. I'm sorry. Does she know what real wages means? No.

Does she have a clue what real wages are? She doesn't know how to pronounce emeritus. She pronounced it emoritis. No. No, she does.

She acted like it was a fungal infection. No. Forget about the Nordstrom. North Nordstrom pipeline. Oh my gosh, is there one?

Because I would love just a direct stream of purchases right to my home. Mm-hmm. Right? Oh my gosh. Pipeline got clogged 'cause of the sale.

What in the world? Do not No, I just wait a minute. That's not I don't think she like is to your point, I don't think she understands what real wages are. I don't think she does either. But if I'm in the press corps and I'm not saying anything after she says that, I'm complicit.

Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you. Yeah, the she is no I mean, we because our with inflation I mean, it's pretty much. Like your wages are almost like c getting to the point where we're cutting stuff in half. That's your after that after what in the invisible tax of inflation that's your real wage That's your real wage.

How in the world do you argue that real wages are up when inflation is so high? How do you argue that? Did people go out and be get did they were everybody getting raises? Did y'all get raises to offset it? Oh, you didn't?

Real wages aren't up. Is that what real rages are? Oh my god! Are you seeing like this is a pattern now I've been seeing more consistently, especially lately? We just had audio that we played earlier in the show of KJP when you're talking about illegal migration, how it's somehow down 90%.

Where are they getting these figures? I would love, can you imagine your job? Can you imagine? You just walk out. Hi, guys.

Yeah, so today the economy is amazing. Everyone has a job. The border is closed. What else? Let's see here.

The Cowboys actually won a Super Bowl. Like, what else? Could just go just to say things that you know are not true and know that people are going to run cover for you. No one's going to talk about any of the sound bites that we're playing here. You're not going to.

It's not going to be on. NBC, C C B S, C N N, and Mimeth and Bay, none of those. Oh my gosh. I just Can't. It's Uh It just Apparently also the camera operator Will not take the camera off Peter Doocy.

Yeah, like it was on the whole time. And it looked like he was fixing to be smart elecky. He's fixing, just saying. Just Woo! Woo!

Um, I have to say one other, let's see, we have this. I know every there's a lot of headlines in the newspapers about the Met Gala. I don't care. Do you care about it? I don't care about it.

The only thing I cared about, in fact, the only headline that matters was the cockroach that appropriately ran. onto the I guess the red carpet, whatever. and stole the show. And a photographer actually photographed it and then tried to it and smushed it. Kevin Mazer was the celebrity photographer.

A cockroach. legit ran. Out. On to the area where all of the all of the stars were c showing up And I don't even know why, because you have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to go, even if you get an invite. You have to pay remember, AOC got she begged for an invitation.

begged. And then she didn't pay anybody back when they, you know when they uh for her crappy dress, like tax the rich, whatever. Didn't pay anybody back. And now here you have the cockroach running out. Do you see it?

Did you see it? Are you just dying? Hold on, hold on. Oh my gosh. So they it ran out and they were taking pictures of it.

And I don't know. I just, the whole thing is goofy. It was all, I guess they were honoring Carl Lagerfeld, who was a very non-woke dude who did his designer. I think it's funny because he's not willing. None of these people would associate with him.

If he did not have the pedigree with fashion that he did. He would have been cancelled already. But he has blank you credibility because he's been in fashion since he was like a baby.

Now he's dead, but. I mean, they would have totally canceled him because he hated everyone. He hated fat chicks. He hated every he would be, he would say it like that. And Anybody else would say it and they would be canceled.

I'm not kidding. It was hysterical. They were terrified of him. Because he just, he's, I think he was immortal. I don't know.

It was like a vampire or something. He was older than dirt, and he had been in fashion for forever. And he, this dude, would have been canceled. It's so funny. Yeah, they got a they got a cockroach out there.

It's just so appropriate. I love how the cockroach got more attention than the Met Gala. Who are you wearing? Who are you wearing? Rick Owens.

No, anyway.

Sorry. I shouldn't I don't dislike him, but I just Oh, man. All right, so what else? Oh, I know, 'cause there I was looking for one I wa can we please talk about the leaf blower thing here real quick? Uh first they came for these sulfites in your Phosphates in your dish soap.

Right. That was they came for that now. And then they came for your gas ovens.

Now they want your leaf blowers. Here's USA Today. Gas leaf blowers and lawnmowers are shockingly bad for the planet. Bans are beginning to spread. Advocates say that using a commercial gas leaf blower for an hour produces emissions equal to driving from Denver to LA.

That is such a lie. This is so stupid.

So now they're going. I want to go and buy a ton of gas-powered leaf blowers, and I want to lay them all in my driveway, and I just want to turn them all on. If you're looking for a future Christmas gift from me, I'll take a leaf blower. And oh, and then people are like, they're noisy. Like this one chick, she passed the Washington DC's ban on gas-powered leaf blowers.

She was remarking on the absence of the noisy blowers. It's already being felt in Washington. She's like, she says, quote, You used to hear them all day everywhere you went, and now you don't. What did you think they got the leaves up with? Magic?

Oh my gosh. I just can't believe that I'm seeing people out here manicuring the city. I woke up I thought it woke up like this. I thought Oh, I don't even care. I actually want everything to to just I want the planet to fall apart sooner rather than later because I can't stand it.

That's why when I see these people that are doing stuff like live forever, no, because I hate so many of you. No, not you guys, but everybody else, no. Oh my gosh. Yes, Kane? More KJP audio.

Remember, we were just talking about her lying about leap blowers? 90%. No, but possibly those who handle landscaping. Shut up. What?

No. I thought you were saying that. Is she going down that road? Is she going down the road? I'm thinking that she's going to go down that road.

No, she's not going down that road, but she's. doubled down on the ninety percent number. Double down. I have to hear it. How do you, yeah, please let's go ahead.

You said yesterday that when it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%. Where did that number come from? I was speaking. I hear you. I'm about to answer.

36,000 people missing a year or so. If the dramatics could come down just a little bit. Oh, my gosh. Cain, stop it right here. I can't make it through.

First off, he asked her a question. Girl, he asked you a question. He asked her a question. That is not dramatic. If you cannot turn the dramatics, he's asking you a question.

If you think that's dramatic, then maybe you're too sensitive for this job.

Okay, go ahead. I'm about to answer if the dramatics could come down just a little bit.

Okay, I'm going to answer.

So I was speaking to the parolee program. As you know, the President put in place a parolee program to deal with certain countries on ways that we can limit illegal migration, and we have seen the data has shown us that it has gone down by more than 90%. The heck is she talking about? What? That's not true.

I'm gonna get a leaf blower. You know what? When she gets up at the podium, I just wanna get out there. Fully flower. Just look around with my leaf blower.

Come and get it, government. Come and get my leaf blower. Come and take it. Oh my gosh. None of that's worked.

None of what she's off for evermore. Uh By the way, they they really are going after the lawn and garden equipment. For greeny, for greeny stuff. Do you know that? Yeah.

I love this headline. What's the downside of electric lawn equipment?

Well they suck. Yeah. Oh, great. I love that I got three seconds of leaf blowing. Let's go charge it for another 25,000 hours.

Yay! Nobody likes it. I always get disappointed with They Electric, like you know, the stuff that I got, I would love to just add gas and everything, including my vacuum cleaner. I don't even care. Although my electric comes from coal-powered plants, so I am using some fossil fuels there, so I feel good about it.

Oh my gosh, I just I can't, I can't. I These clean air advocates, they also made a big This is actually one of the most awful things I've read. In this USA Today piece, they were talking about how, oh, well, they're giving the lawn care workers money so they can switch to battery-powered equipment. Oh My gosh, first world absolute liberal li limousine liberal entitlement. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, this is actually amazing. New York Post has the story of this Washington state teenager who rolled to prom in a World War II Army tank. He's super crafty. His name is Sherman Bynum. He's a student at a high school near the Oregon border.

He rented the N3A1 Stewart tank for $1,000. He raised the money through TikTok and GoFundMe. He goes, we do not, he goes, we don't like normal very much. And he says, uh he goes, we're uh Live your life to your fullest. Do what you want.

He rolled up in a tank. I think it's actually amazing. That's how they shut up in prom. That's. Amazing.

I love that they did that. Kudos to them. I'm like, gun grabbers would have immediately tried to swat them or something. A crazy dust storm in South Central Illinois caused a car crash, killing six and closed down the highway. This is awful.

It was on I-55. Crazy dust storm. It was shut down in both directions in South Central Illinois as police reported multiple crashes with injuries and fatalities during a crazy dust storm. There is some video of it, and it looks like a crazy poor movie fog. It was really bad.

East Palestine residents are still suffering. They're experiencing lesions, stomach pain, shortness of breath since the train derailment that we were told was totally fine and nothing was going to happen. The photos are actually really bad. There are, yeah, there's photos of it. It's really bad.

They said that they can't go out in the creeks. They can't do anything because of the chemicals that they said they're still being affected by all of this. And a man catfishing in Missouri snagged a four-foot prehistoric fish instead. That's wild. I would have known that.

Yeah, Conservation said that it was some four-foot lake sturgeon. Stick with us. To catch up on all the headlines in Crazy Wokery, download the Dana Show podcast and get Dana's perspective on the Dana Show.

Someone would say as we heard about 10 that If A person exposes themselves to a minor online It's a felony and that it is the words were unjust. for it to only be a misdemeanor. The exposure online is a felony because of a policy choice. That's not some written in stone pre-existing, happened with the Big Bang fact. We chose that.

We could have chosen. I wasn't here for the debate, so I can't say should have, but we could have chosen to align the offenses at the misdemeanor level. And we're being asked, members. As part of the justification to do anything other than adopt L008, we're being asked. To consider that this offense, if done online, is a felony.

But it's Only, and I say only gently, because the consequences of a misdemeanor sex. offense charge and or conviction are are are severe. But we're being asked to consider that it's only a misdemeanor for one and a felony for the other. What And similar toast crunch hell on my list. Try to reframe this.

Is arguing that the penalty for exposing yourself to a minor online should be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor because of equity. But excusing Yeah, quit excusing groomers. Welcome back to the program. Bottom of this. Third hour, dinner last year with you.

See, you can't have me as President of the United States ever because I would be like, well, we need a drone strike. That would be my answer for everything. Uh, ma'am, you mean yeah, drone drone drone strike that offender. J get him. You play games, right?

Get 'em. I mean, that's See, it's why I can't run. That's why I can't run. Uh I also need to play this audio sound bite. Speaking of really g because see while Florida is like, No, we're gonna kill 'em.

Colorado's like, maybe we should just reduce the penalty for exposing yourself to kids online to a misdemeanor.

Well, now in Louisiana, This woman is is testifying To This, we may not be able to pull it up, but if not, I was going to say, I'll definitely put it in your prep.

So it's HB 463, which bans pediatric gender mutilation. She says apparently that she knew her daughter was a boy because Her food choices were always raw, green, vegetables. I'm not making this up. Listen. Had anxiety and would never sleep, and we couldn't figure out what the problem was.

We took him to speak. specialists and neurologists and he had brain scans trying to figure out why he couldn't sleep. Then as he grew, he got to sleeping, but his food choices were odd. They were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables, which if you know kids, most kids don't like to eat those things. Um and then the precocious puberty.

All of those things, once we figured out that he was transgender, when he came to us and told us that he was transgender, when we went back and realized that the pattern of everything that he had experienced as a child, including eating green vegetables because that boosts testosterone, were just methods of his body trying to become vegetables.

Somebody on Twitter said, Fellas, if your girlfriend's eating vegetables, she is actually a dude and you are gay. No. They always order salad for dinner. Your girlfriend's gay. Is she having salad?

She's a dude and you're a gay man. There was another woman. I'm not going to play it. This is just some of this hearing. She says she had a gut feeling her daughter was a boy when she liked to play with boy toys when she was 18 months old.

So they're going to start gender affirming. I think these women are nuts. I think they're nuts and they want attention and they want the, oh, you're going through a thing. Backpats. That's what I honestly, I do.

I do absolutely think that. I think it's the moms that are nuts. This is some mommy dears BS is what it is. This is some nutty stuff. Good heavens.

I Mm. We have I saw, oh my gosh, I got so much we got to talk about. And I'm going to try to pack as much in as I possibly can.

So we have. Oh boy. We've got I've got Wokery as well. that I want to make sure we get into. And with this.

So here's so first off, this is an interesting story. This is, and it's. I hate the source because it's a stupid progressive source, and I'm not mentioning them because I can't stand them.

So they have this story of the server at an Ohio restaurant. who was forced to serve a dinner party, that they claim was decked out and this is uh apparently it was in Daily Beast. Daily Beast reported reported it also, so I don't have to go by the original uh super lefty thing. It was a black server who was forced to wait on uh diners that they said were ducked out in Uh, Confederate flag gear, and they he said that they were casually tossing around racial slurs. That's what he told.

The Daily Beast on Monday. And The it was in Ohio, the dude Arthur Mandy. said he's torn over his job. He said it was at a Texas road house. But he said that he was uh he didn't want to serve those people and there was a woman in the restaurant she said it was tense.

And they there apparently there's a video of it. There's like video of it uploaded. Um but I don't like to play TikTok stuff.

So They said that the table never spoke to the server or gave him eye contact and they said that they just they weren't even trying to be quiet. There was just a lot of racial slurs and they have they they had some stuff up on video on on TikTok. And It It is wild. And it's a Cincinnati area server, Cincinnati area, I guess, Roadhouse, Texas Roadhouse.

Now here's the thing Um The left, this is what we were trying to tell you, the stuff that would happen. if you force people to bake the cake. Remember that whole thing? Bake the cake, make it, make the cake. over these alphabet activists targeting bakeries.

and demanding that they do stuff. I don't think that Anybody should be I don't think anybody should be forced to serve anyone. I don't think this guy. I mean, but that's what the left wanted. I don't think this guy should have to do that.

Yeah, you're like, but Dana, that's his job. I don't think that as an establishment should, I think that they have the right of association or right of who they want to serve. I'm consistent in this. I don't think they should have had to. I don't think this guy should have.

I think that Texas Roadhouse would have been completely within their rights to say, if they didn't want to, if this guy felt uncomfortable, get out. Private business. Yeah, private business. But the left wanted everybody to bake the cake. They insisted otherwise.

No, no, no. And we warned you. We warned you, we said, look, you will have a situation. Where somebody is going to come up against somebody else, and this person's going to be ridiculous, and they're going to be, you know, I mean, bigot or whatever. And you're not going to want to be forced into service for this other person just because the excuse of it being a business or commercial setting.

You want to be able to control your right of association, your right of service, your labor is your labor. But that's not what the left wanted. That is not what the left wanted at all. They demanded that everybody nope, you have to bake the cake. Everybody must be served.

Okay, so now what do you say to this situation? For all the bake the cake people, what do you say to that situation? I mean, it's I don't think you should have to do it, but this is what we warn people about. You had this Indiana bar. They're still begging for customers.

The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Bloomington, though they're still begging people to come back. Earlier, they said any customer that wanted to speak out about the controversial partnership would be immediately asked to pay their bill and leave. Oh, but then nobody showed up. And so They said that? They said they'll be asked to pay and leave.

And then now They walk back their comments. And They said that because there were apparently some there was some backlash. And they said, No, we just meant like if you can't play nice, get out of the sandbox. That goes through everyone. We're not going to censor anyone.

But, you know, we require civility. Disagreement is in incivility. I know that that's something that the left believes in, but it's not the same thing. Disagreement is not being uncivil, it's not incivility.

So they are begging for people. to come I don't know. I mean I that's you know, that's kind of what happens when you decide to. Mess around like this. There's also this story.

Pull this up. Philadelphia Inquirer has the story of Thomas Jefferson president, who is be who is in trouble because he liked some tweets. The chief executive officer of Thomas Jefferson University said he was disappointed in the President Mark Tikhosinski's careless use of his Twitter account, in which he liked tweets. That questioned the science of the Rona and gender reassignment surgery as child mutilation.

Somebody had to go through. This dude is a Yale-educated molecular immunologist. And he's worked at Thomas Jefferson University for 16 years. The CEO of Thomas Jefferson University had to have gone to his account and looked at what he was liking. Stalker much?

He liked some tweets, guys. And so they were going after his like history. He liked some tweets.

So he wrote this email. To This uh the chief executive officer. This uh Individual Joseph Caccione wrote this email over the weekend: all the faculty, the employees, and the students. And he was explaining that, oh, he's got a traveling like history on his Twitter account, and he's so disappointed, and it's a careless use. Oh, my goodness.

And he said that He's liked all these tweets about how the injection was ineffective, et cetera, et cetera. And He started counting the number of likes. He actually counted up the number of likes on opinions with whom he disagreed. And for his part, Tikosinski, who's 70, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he liked tweets to bookmark them. I do that too sometimes.

You can b that's how you can bookmark them that way. And he goes, I regret how my lack of understanding caused some to question my views. Don't apologize. Don't apologize. It's the fud who doesn't understand how Twitter works, that doesn't du who who thinks that if you like something, then you're endorsing it.

Like is not an endorsement. A lot of people use it for bookmarking. And he wrote a letter of apology and all this stuff. The first thing is, he apologized. I would not have apologized.

I would have told this guy to go pound C in six ways to Sunday. And then they had the chair of the university board get involved, and he said, This is getting mine. The board's full attention. We have complete confidence in this cacchione guy and the management team. They're thoughtfully managing the situation.

No, they're not, they're psychos. They're self-infatuated psychos who literally went on Twitter and obsessed over what he liked and didn't like. Are you people mental? This is stupid. Whatever happened to free speech, my gosh.

It's this old leftist boomer who gets on there. For the love. But that's where that's kind of like what is happening with all of these different universities, even if you have faculty that. Go against the grain, they target them. And now you got them cataloging likes.

I wish this guy wouldn't have apologized. He gave up way too quickly. And it was. You can like whatever. All we would have to do is say, Yeah, this was my opinion, or I liked it because it's similar to my opinion, or I was bookmarking it.

Do you not know how bookmarking how the how to bookmark tweets you FUD? Do you not know how this works? I just do not reward stupidity. by placating it. I do not pretend that it is on the same level as reason.

Or logic? I do not entertain it. at all. I reject it outright. Because That's not, it's not compassion.

to make people easy in their stupidity. It's laziness to do that. When you're making someone easy in their ridiculousness, in their stupidity, and in their ideological bigotry, you not only perpetuate the problem, but you also I mean, you're just you're like giving up. And you're not doing them any favors. It's like the opposite of compassion.

Golly. Meanwhile, Bud Light earnings have dropped now by 26%. It was, what, 17% last week? 26% now. I cannot believe they still have not figured out how to handle this.

I cannot believe it. I mean, I have ideas, but it'll cost you. Uh cost them. I cannot believe. I mean, it's Anheuser-Busch.

They should have. A apparently they switched marketing teams. And now they brought in this dude to handle the marketing. I really think that they need to bring in some bras to handle the marketing, honestly. Exactly.

We don't even have to go back that far. I mean, like, bring in. I have an idea. They could do, like, Uh and every I mean, I think they should do stuff with female athletes and I think they should bring back the eighties pin ups. Yeah.

I think they should bring like the old eighties Chippendale thingies. I don't is that even a thing anymore? 'Cause there's probably some women that like that. Women like muscular dudes, bring some of those in, bring a whole spectrum of types in and be like everybody likes beer. Yeah, go back to the beach volleyball commercials.

Yeah, just be like, everybody likes beer. And have like all these different types of people. Everybody likes beer. That's your ad. You're welcome.

If I see you run it, I'm gonna come after you. That's the ad. That's it. Golly, they need, yeah, they need new marketing people. All right, we got to get moving.

We got to get moving.

All right. Today In stupidity. I don't know how you're going to handle this because you're awash in clips. Oh man, it was tough to find one. I lie.

This is KJP. She says it's clear that the only practical path to avoid a default is for us to suspend the debt limit without conditions. This is her. Given the limited time Congress now has, it is clear that the only practical path to avoid default is for Congress to suspend the debt limit without conditions. See, here's the thing: why can't they figure out how much they can spend before they push bills through that actually do the spending?

They should not at all. Pass any kind of debt ceiling, any kind of budget until the border's secure, and they can start by defunding the ATF too. That's how it has to be done. Folks, we'll be back tomorrow. God bless.

Have a great night.
