Monday September 4th - Labor Day Edition

When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, More of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water. What gets me is she acts like we can't do that now. Like, are we really struggling with having clean air and clean water and things like that. I mean, I I didn't think that was I didn't realize it was like such a big deal, is it? We have to increase the population.

I mean, it's like we're not living in alleys. We're not like urchins living in alleys and, you know, not. What is the point of saying this stuff? Oh my gosh.

Now, guys, I'm just going to let you give you some insight into the mood today. Welcome to the show. It's. Monday. It's your lovable curmudgeon who is done with the What was I going to say?

My antibiotic allergic reaction.

So we're actually normal looking today. We don't look like sloth from the goonies. We're not all raged out on. Roids and Everything else, so just thank you for the kind prayers on that. People were like, I could tell that your eye looked puffy.

I'm like, thank you so much. You're so kind. You're so sweet. I love you. But I just got to tell you.

So, I was trying to kind of turn things off for the weekend because there's a couple of things that we're trying to like, every we got a lot of stuff in the background that we're trying to nail down and get, you know, ready. And so, sometimes you kind of have to compartmentalize and take a break from certain things. And I was trying to just shut down over the weekend with following headlines incessantly. Although, some of the 2024 stuff. has got me wound up, but just because I hate everything.

So you have to realize that I hate The theatre that is just for the sake of theater. To delay the inevitability. Does that make sense? Because I feel like it's theater for the sake of theater, and I cannot stand that. We're going to talk a little bit about that.

We've got a bunch of other domestic stuff to get into as well, including we've got foreign policy, I've got some culture, we got lots of stuff to hit.

So, welcome to. to the program, the Monday edition. Of the radio show, which you can listen to coast to coast. You can stream YouTube, Facebook, DirecTV, channel 347. You can go and smart off in the YouTube discussion.

Be nicer, Lorraine. I'll beat you to death. But we got. We always good discussion, good people. Facebook, I mean, you can find us everywhere.

So, to get started, and I do highly encourage you to check out the newsletter over at Substack chapter and verse, because there's a lot of good stuff that comes out of that regularly, right?

So to kind of get started with this. Everybody and their brother sent me this this clip. Over the weekend. Or, well, actually, within, I guess, the 24 last 24 hours. Messages.

Instagram, Facebook. I mean, I think if you guys thought I would see it in smoke signals, you sent it to. I saw it. I did see it. And I I thought that was a weird remark.

She says the United States, we've got to reduce the population. Do you realize that that's a whole gaffe? Or not a gaffe but that's a a lie.

So here's one of the things that always has thrown me. When I look back upon my life, so when I was in college, the most valuable class that I ever took in college was logic. Everything else was trash. Garbage. Absolute flaming turd.

It was horrible. All the other classes were stupid. I literally had a class. About women in Renaissance France. That was a part of a women's studies because it's such a racket and you have to take these stupid electives.

And I was miserable the entire time. Anyway. There was I took two years of this logic because I took the first class. It's like math with words. And I so enjoyed it, even though the professor was weird, I kept taking it.

And the professor was this crunchy dude. He wore a corduroy even in the summer. Who does that? Who wears corduroy in the summer? You wear corduroy in the summer.

He drove a Volvo, It was, you know, it was Pooh Brown, a Volvo.

So, I mean, he's checking off every box possible, right? This is sort of the... quintessential St. Louis progressive, right? Birkenstocks, check.

Corduroy, check. Driving the Volvo, all the Czech. Had a um Not a canoe, what am I thinking of? Kayak had a kayak on top of his Volvo almost all the time. Even when it was cold outside.

Do people do that in the cold? I don't know. Had the kayak all the time. Literally, I'm not even kidding, Hans. This guy had a bumper sticker on said Volvo that was expertly placed, by the way.

I'm pretty sure he used a leveler. That said, I'd rather be kayaking. I'm not kidding you. What did he kayak in St. Louis?

What is he like on the Merrimack? Do you go to on the hoozal? Like, where'd he go? I don't know. Like, where do you kayak?

But, um I mean there's a lot of rivers, but I digress. Anyway. And He was the guy, my first Semester with him when I was a freshman. It was a class that was teaching ethics, and I'll be damn, he was teaching Peter Singer. Peter Singer is an abortion of intellectual thought.

In case you were wondering, that's the best way to describe it. If you see your kids come home with a book and it's anything Peter Singer, it's trash. You better be that class is sus.

So anyway, I at first I didn't like him and I thought, Oh my gosh, this nut eating tofu hemp weaving, you know, fruitcake, I just can't even deal. He was a very soft spoken man. He wore wire rim glasses. He had a very short haircut for a hippie. But he was one of those neat hippies, like a Frank Lloyd Wright hippie, you know.

Anyway, so The first semester passed without event. And it was, you know, you had to say the right things in the class. And it was just really weird to learn Peter Singer, who just had no regard for human life or humanity. But then it got interesting when I had him for logic. He's item for two classes, Ethics and Logic.

And the logic Was fascinating. And pretty much a lot of what I do now is based on that class that I learned. I mean, it at least it it helped me acquire the rudimentary skills to break apart stupid arguments. And it was such a valuable class that I just kept taking the next level and the next level until I took all of them. And even though he was a super far lefty, he did appreciate logic to the point where he prided himself on being logical, even if it undercut his personal ideology.

So his vanity was greater. than his obsession with ideology, which I thought was interesting.

So long story short. No, I I have this I have this teacher. And a lot of the stuff that I'm I recognize now In politics, it is from that class. The only valuable class ever. It should be a required course.

I don't even ever know what happened to him. He'd probably be a Paul. learning what I've become, you know, because a lot of people think that Being a conservative commentators. worse than being a meth dealing prostitute, but I digress.

So this Comment. From Kamala Harris. She's calling on the U.S. to reduce population. This was one of the things that he had touched on in ethics.

And he actually gave us: it was the world hunger myth. and it touched upon this myth That's been perpetuated for the past, what, 30, 40 years about overpopulation. There isn't actually an overpopulation on planet Earth. In fact, There has been a decrease in population. And so that book and several others subsequently that I read.

gets into Some of the stereotypical things that you think of overpopulation, the themes of overpopulation, and it destroys them. Case in point. They went and they looked in one of the books that I read, they looked at population nation by nation.

So what's one of the things that you always hear about? like with Italy. What's a what's a common stereotype? with Italy. Big Italian families, right?

Big Italian families, they get together every Sunday, they have their meal. After church. But that's slowly fading away. Not that they don't get together on Sundays, which they do. But the big aspect of the big Italian family.

That's changing. Because people are having fewer children to the point where they can't even keep up With the current population level. Like in Japan, it's incredibly bad. They're going to have a. Uh I I'll Huge.

population of older people but yet not enough younger people to sustain it. in the economic system. The United States is barely keeping status quo. But in a lot of these other nations, particularly a number of European nations, it is woefully. woefully under the rate required.

to maintain Population. But there were some interesting things There's been several books written in the past 20 years that looks at countries like Pakistan or countries like India that actually do not only meet. The requirements to maintain status quo, but they exceed them. But this idea that there's overpopulation is a lie. It is an absolute lie.

Look at the birth rate of every nation. It's a lie. They're lying to you. You know why they're lying to you? Because they think That you're too either too busy You're too wrapped up in trying to make Ends meet.

Because you have to pay Joe Biden's taxes. You know, he wants you to pay for everyone else's grad school, college tuition.

So you You gotta keep up with that. But then, you know, at the same time too, While they're lying to you, they know that you're too busy. They also simultaneously think you're too stupid. To follow along with this. I mean, that's the whole purpose of how they approach government.

They want it to be too big so you can't follow everything.

So she says this, Gaff, we got to reduce the population. She says she meant to say reduce pollution. Yeah. But what have you heard? hand in hand about pollution and climate change.

Population, have you not? Is that not something that you have heard frequently?

So that's why I think this is totally sus and I don't believe her. Do you believe her? It's not p it's this dude, she meant it. I think she meant it hand in hand. She was at Coppin State University in Baltimore.

She's talking about building a clean energy economy.

Now, the official White House transcript acknowledges and corrects her error, but They said that in the transcript, population is crossed out, and pollution is added in brackets to denote what she intended to say. Do you believe this? Because if you do, let me tell you about a fantastic piece of real estate that you can get in on the ground level. It's a bridge that I've recently come into possession of. Very famous bridge.

You might have heard of it. The Brooklyn Bridge, right? It's yes, it's that famed bridge. I own it and I will sell it to you. Right?

I mean, I'm all about being generous. I want everyone to have a piece of American i you know, iconography. I got that to sell to you. But that's what this is. I honestly think a lot of the climate change is reducing the population.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I was raised by one.

So I don't know, right? And then I have to come to work every day with one. Who likes to own stock in tinfoil? Surprised he doesn't have his hat on.

Now, it's under your clothes, isn't it? You're just wrapped up under your clothes. I'm positive. It's cane, by the way. I think he's made of tinfoil at this point.

She was meaning. Oh my gosh, before, because I got a whole bunch of other stuff, please, for the love. I actually I know Steve's like, we got five minutes, that means you need to shut up. Can we play really, really quickly where she did the burden bite? She said it again.

This weekend. She said it again. What is it, the burden of what, what did she say? Unburdened by what has been Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, for the love.

Can we just hit this real quick? Cause she said it again, guys. And it is with this understanding, this vision, to see what can be unburdened by what. That Rev has dedicated life. She called him Rev.

That's like calling a prostitute, you know, chaste. Calling him reverend, it's like, hey, whore, you are chaste. Same thing, right? Does she not know how often she says that? Does she get paid by the Unburdened by Woodus Ben lobby?

I'm curious. We got a lot of stuff to hit. We're just not. I actually have not even gotten into everything else.

So we got to talk about some of the 2024 stuff. I have something very.

Well ungracious to say. Coming up. You probably don't want to miss it. It's not going to surprise some of you. Just please know that when I talk about people, I know them.

Especially when I'm very caustic. I've known them for a long time and I can say these things. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Quick note on a derailment in Pennsylvania from WPVI.

This is the Channel 6 ABC affiliate, Whitewash. A CSX freight train derailed Montgomery County early this morning, according to officials. The crash happened at about 4:50 a.m. The 40-car CSX train was operating on Norfolk Southern Tracks. I'm so, aren't you so happy that all of the nut eating, hemp-wearing, tree-hugging, weird.

You know, smoking like stuff smoking hippies, we're able to get rid of the pipeline so we can have the safer transport of rail. Yay!

So, investigators are there on scene, they're looking at any kind of uh carcinogenic chemicals because apparently there was one that I can't pronounce because it has a million consonants.

So, yeah, there you go. Uh, also. A couple of other things to hit. A Russian nuclear enrichment plant explosion, one dead, hundreds injured.

Sounds kind of Chernobyl-esque. A British Columbia man was fired from the job. He saved a moose calf on the highway. How are you firing a dude who saved a moose calf? I said there was a black bear standing there, and the black bear was looking at the movie.

I would have done the same thing, and I would have taken my dismissal privately. And a duck went for a ride on a Cedar Point roller coaster that reaches 93 miles per hour. The duck survived. Was its name Howard?

Well, I think. Culture is It it's It is a reflection of our moment in our time. Right. Present culture is the way we express how we're feeling about the moment. And And we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because every, you know.

It comes in the morning. We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of Just having language and a connection. to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way too.

So I also did that when I needed to get a word count met at the end of a book report when I was in school.

Well, I think it's culture, which is about how we. Uh you know, I mean, it comes in the morning.

So we uh talk to each other. Yeah. That's the Vice President of the United States. Is she prepared for anything? It's culture for the love.

Come on.

So this was at the The Essence Festival in New Orleans. That was happening during some Independence Day celebrations.

Now, welcome back to the program, by the way. Dana Lash with you. If you thought that was Unfortunate. Oh, do I have something special for you? Ver people are very particular about How the national anthem is sung.

Are we not? I still say the greatest rendition. One of the greatest ones I've ever heard was Whitney Houston when she did it. Oh my gosh, sweatband and all. She went out there and just ripped the roof off.

Was there a roof on that stadium? I don't know, but she did. If there was one, it's gone now. It was amazing. That was like one of the most destroy it was amazing.

Uh If you can't do it like Whitney, then just do it regular, okay? If you're not Whitney, then just don't do it. Don't do the I can't stand that. When you have like a jazz run and a one-syllable word, stop. You don't need to complicate it, right?

It's like over-seasoning food. You don't need to.

Sometimes you just let the food shine, right? It's like, oh, if you overseason meat that you're grilling, you gotta let the meat shine. You gotta let the melody shine.

Now, the anthem is actually one of the most difficult songs to sing. Because all the octaves, all the different ranges, everything else. It's like you have to have a very varied voice. And it's it's difficult to sing. Beautiful song.

And when it's done right, it's Stunning. as, you know, Whitney did. En Chris Stapleton, he's saying it. It's Chris Stapleton. He's not Whitney.

But he did it in his way while still allowing the song, the melody, and the meaning to shine. It was great, right?

So you don't have to. B, have the vocal cords of Whitney Houston, you can still do it your way. But the one way that you don't do it is by trying to butcher it on purpose with different words so that you can make a woke example. And that's what Jill Scott did. She is getting a lot of pushback, which she ought to, because this was ridiculous.

I mean, It's sad because of how she did it, but it also is ridiculous because. I don't know. I mean, she's been around for a while. She ain't no Whitney. Oh, I said it.

She ain't. And this was her singing the national anthem, but she changed it. She didn't say land of the free. She said, Blood built this land. Oh, she really redid it.

And uh well If you want to listen to some of it. Yeah. Kane made me listen to the whole thing. You did? It's payback.

Payback sees. Listen to this. Hoo-boy. Oh save. Can you Feet.

Okay, that wasn't anything special. You don't need to like turn your head over. The blood in the stream Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is play! Doesn't Somehow.

On you come. Look, child. Shiggies. Who's going to? Wave swing and stretch.

Okay, I'm done. I can't, man. I can't. I'm gonna like.

So That was the uh Her version. of the anthem.

So she changed the words of it entirely. And uh I just I mean, if you don't want to sing the anthem, don't sing the anthem. But you don't have to be an ass about it. And she was. That's some capital B stuff right there.

That's ridiculous. I mean, you're sitting here telling people that they are experiencing a suppression that they have not experienced. You're trying to borrow from history to drive a division that enriches you today. That's what this whole grifting cottage industry has become. I mean, it's it's r it's insane.

I'm going to tell you what, there's no country that's perfect. But I'll be damned if I compare the United States to any other country and act like my country is lacking because it is not. Try to find find one better. Find one better. My gosh, I mean, at least if you're going to go up and do something like that.

Good grief. I'm embarrassed for her. I'm embarrassed for her, and that's just shameful. And she decided to Preach division. Preach division.

I mean Constantly. I'm so tired of people doing this. And the people that preach division the loudest are the ones that make the most bank off of it. They get the attention. If you preach, you know what?

If you preach unity and peace, it doesn't get as much attention. That is something that is with the nature of humanity. And there are actors out there. And I'm talking about performers, operatives, everybody. You got all of these people that.

It's easier for them to play into the division and the unity because it elevates them. You get to look like you're doing one better. You're pointing something out. You're raising the alarm. The attention is on you.

You get to look like the contrarian thought leader. When you're just pushing division. Never offering any solutions. Preaching about an oppression you didn't experience. And that wasn't experienced By only one demographic throughout human history.

Humanity is just awful altogether. That's why we had to have a Savior. But with this, there is just something in human nature. Where we gravitate. Towards strife.

We do. I'm always Amazed. When people say, Oh, we don't need any more division. No more this, no more that. But yet they promote it.

propagate it. They publish it. They celebrate it. They make money off of it. And even if it's not directly in the form of a dollar, it is indirectly in the form of influence.

I was watching this um I was telling Kane about this. To the top story of Daily Mail. I have a love-hate relationship with that. Horrible. fecal storm of a entity.

It's like one of the biggest papers in the world, and it's the only publication where you can look like you're reading about current events, and then they have all the garbage on the side, you know, all the celebrity gossip on the side.

So you get to look like you're really, look, I know I'm reading this thing about what's happening here with trade and South Pacific. Oh, it's crazy. And really, we're looking at the garbage. Like, who slapped Brittany? But.

The top story on Daily Mail. I woke up. looked at the top story on Daily Mail and it has to do with some Lady at a very expensive uh condominium thing. I just I'm gonna make some people mad. I can't trust you if you pay a million dollars for a condo.

I can't. I'm sorry. If you're not if you don't need to live in Manhattan. And work in Manhattan, and you're paying a million dollars. I just can't.

I don't get it. Like, why? Don't have your house be touching other people for a million dollars. Anyway. So these are like really bougie condos, right?

And it's this, you know, complex and it has its own pool.

So this lady was there. I didn't wanna play them because it's so But it's it's just to further my example of how people are obsessed with this stuff. Top story Daily Mail. And this video of this woman losing her mind because a family was having a birthday party at the pool has gone viral. But was that all it was, Dana?

Well, I mean, in in a normal person's world it would be. But because we have to share this planet with progressives, all of this other stuff has to get thrown in.

Well, she's white and the family that she's mad at is Hispanic.

So apparently it's all racist.

Well, she said Mexican party at one point.

Well, I mean, I've got a lot of Hispanic friends, and I have Italian friends, and I've got. Irish friends and I am Part Irish. I got a lot of different some parts. I'm sorry, some people have better parties than others.

Sorry. Can I just say it? It's true. It's completely true.

Some of y'all have boring parties. And some people's cultures just you have better parties.

Sorry, you just do.

So But the progress progressives are like, oh, there's got to be an element of that in there. And I watched the video because I hate myself.

So I watched the video. I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't, you know, is it going to come up and be a story? All she said was they were having like a Mexican party or something like that. And then she was fighting with the family. The family was fighting with her.

I suspect everyone, except the kids involved, were drunk. And uh It's like a viral video, and now everybody's talking about it. And then it prompted her. They found out that she's. D as I don't actually know what her job is.

It sounds something bougie and dumb. I'm being honest. It's uh, she was an art consultant. Oh. A spatial something and f Feng Shui expert.

I don't know. Apparently, it's all about like if you However, you have your furniture in your house makes you happy. I don't know. Anyway, so then this is why I think they were all drunk. The family and her started arguing over Hermes.

Like the fashion label. I don't even know how that's like part of the video. We can't even play it because there's an F-bomb literally every other millisecond. And they were arguing over, you don't even know what Branda's sandals these were.

So that's why I don't think the family is entirely innocent either, because they were helping to drive it. But because we live in a garbage society oh, well, immediately she's the well, but she's a white Karen, so uh she's immediately there you go, convicted and penalized. The family was arguing with it. It sounds like everybody was just, they were a bunch of drunk blockheads. That's what it sounds like.

And everybody's been sharing this, and they're all, oh, you got to give your hot take because are you really participating in the conversation if you are not giving a hot take? Do you exist? If you don't have a hot take to offer. It's the question of the times, is it not? This is the top story.

There's cocaine in the White House, but that's the top story. It's Hunter's cocaine, but we're going to pretend that we don't know whose it is, but this is the top story. I was really, I gotta say, I did find it amusing that they were talking about like brands of bracelets and sandals about died. It was so funny. That's really but you know, because everybody has a phone.

Everyone thinks that what is happening to them is the most important thing. Oh my gosh.

Someone got mad at me at the pool. I'm going to make a viral video. And then, this place that this chick worked at, I don't even know what, oh, some gallery. Masters Gallery in Denver. Oh my gosh.

Like, she hadn't even worked there in over a year. Right, so this comes out, and they're like, oh my gosh, we got to hurry up and issue a statement about somebody who hasn't even worked here for a year. You mean the gallery who wasn't at the pool, who doesn't have a relationship with this woman? who hasn't Had anything to do with her for a year and a half is gonna have to issue a statement saying that they condemn her remor what did she ever go through a fast food plate? Did she go through a Starbucks?

Did they need to issue a statement? Yes, we did serve her an ice merch of frap. with almond milk the other day, but we condemn this behaviour only of her, not of the people with whom she was arguing, who are probably just as guilty. Only her! Don't Don't loot us.

I hate everything. Where's Smod? Damn it. Where's Smod? I just want a big flamey rock to come and hit this one like it's a cue ball.

Come on.

All right. We got a lot more to get into as we get moving. 'Cause we got uh Days of these United States Les Ze Tasunis Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I'm not here to declare victory. on the economy.

I'm here to say we have a plan that's turning things around quickly. Uh What? Oh, I don't really think that's how that works. Those are the jobs numbers. Jobs numbers are out.

And Biden, he's uh You know, he's this week he's been trying to promote His successful Bidenomics, right? He's been trying to. I'm confused by his statement because he started. This week. positioning himself as This savior for the economy, right?

I mean, that's what he went out to. He went out and his remarks were based around. This Premise that He had saved the economy. and he created thirteen frillion jobs, Kane. With an F.

Brilliant. Real numbers. Real numbers. Yeah, but you know what though? When you look at Wage loss, and when you look at the inability of wages to keep up with the cost of products with inflation.

Consumer price index. And I think what they said the average loss specifically related to the middle class was like thirty three thousand per household. On average. That's the average. Wow.

So that is that's what Bidenomics is. That's there is he can't declare victory in the economy because there isn't any victory on the economy. It's I mean you feel it you see it And it's gradually.

Well, it's not getting better, that's for sure. We got a lot more on the way. Second hour coming up, don't miss. Stick with us. That's because periods make human life possible.

It's potentially one of the most natural biological processes of life. And yet history and society has built up this stigma that makes menstruators feel so ashamed. It makes us feel like there's something wrong with our bodies. We're taught that period blood is this contaminable, like disgusting, dirty, dirty. And I think that it always breaks my heart to hear so many stories every day of young menstruators who get their period and have never heard about it.

The irony of sitting here talking about, oh, we don't want to shame women for having their periods and then also shaming them by calling them menstruators. This chick is so unaware.

So you're like realizing stuff. Me and my friends are just like realizing things. Kane's gotta go die for it. In the meantime, welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you.

Your lovable curmudgeon. Pretty rowdy today. No, I got these vibes. Do you gotta? I have those vibes.

This vibe right here. And I feel like this year is really about like the year of just realizing stuff and everyone around me, we're all just like realizing things. Like love. I got the same vibe from that.

So she's so this If you're listening to the radio program, which you can listen coast to coast, you can stream it or you can watch the simulcast on YouTube, always discussion there. Facebook, channel 347, DirecTV. This is a women's health CEO and her company Has their own pads for parades?

Sorry guys. I have to live through this, so you got to go with it with me. and they wanted a period positive gender inclusive brand. I'm going to say this one more time. Y'all dudes, if you are bleeding down there, please see a doctor.

Don't buy a pad, okay? It doesn't It doesn't mean you suddenly have, you know, vagina. That's not what, that's not what's going down.

Okay, that means you are injured, my friend. You are injured.

So she's She keeps calling them Menstruators menstruate while she's simultaneously saying That we shouldn't look at it as like a bad thing. You know what? Just because. There's there's the thing about having dignity. Right?

Can we stop pretending that having dignity is a negative? There are a lot of things that are completely biological, natural acts. But that doesn't mean you do it all out at the dinner table. You know what I'm saying? Like, what in the world?

Why did this? Why do you have to? Are you just, we have too much damn free time. For people to be so obsessed, let me find my next cause my next pet cause Good heavens Stop it.

So she played Audio Sunday 11. What is this 10?

So this is her company. And she keeps. Oh, my gosh.

So what This is an actual thing. Yeah, she continues. August, to me, is the result of spending years in the space identifying pain points, whether they be around sustainability. Like I grow painting pads, most pads have enough plastic for like three to five plastic bags, right?

So very scratchy, very uncomfortable, but also wanting a period positive gender-inclusive brand.

So we are August wanting a gender-inclusive name. On the back, it says we're here for everyone who menstruates. And I think especially in this age of transphobia, it really means a lot to us to be proudly a gender-inclusive brand. But everything about the product, we try to be super thoughtful about from how we design it to be as comfortable, as absorbent as possible, but also as sustainable as possible.

So with the water, I'm not sure what's happening here. I get to do a fun little Oh this was content, all the news.

Somebody actually had this idea, is that well what makes your pad brand different? That's her only thing. We're for everybody.

Well couldn't anybody use pads and make them for everybody if you wanted to play pretend? Here, just just roll with me for a second. Yeah, but we put it on the box. That's your big thing? Uh-huh.

So you're not like any different. You're not any better. You're just pretending that you are. Like you're pretending that your product product can actually be used by men and women. 'Cause again, dudes, if you're blading there, seek help.

See a doctor. Stop it. Oh, man. Chicks like this don't help. You know what I mean?

They don't help. Like as women, we are fighting. this battle against being erased? By progressives who want to patriarchally, which I'm making up. They want to, in a patriarchal manner, appropriate the female sex, and all these third waivers like this brad are helping them.

It's a pad, it's for everybody. I mean, this is just... Can you imagine being on Shark Tank?

So here's what makes our product different.

So wait, you're a pad? Uh-huh.

So you're like the always. Are the Tampax pads? Are they always pads? You're like those, like the things with the wings and the stickies and all that. You're like that.

Yeah, but. We're different. How are you different? Are you made the same way? Uh-huh.

But how are you different? We're for everybody.

What do you mean, everybody? We're inclusive.

Well, couldn't everybody use the product that ex the products that exist already? Yeah, but we put it on the box. Because you think people are so damn stupid that you're going to have a man pretending that he's bleeding from his nether regions in the aisle at the supermarket looking at all the products, going, Well, this one says it's for all. Maybe it's penis shaped. I don't know.

You know why the aliens haven't revealed themselves to us? Cause this stuff, would you? Imagine you were an alien on a planet and they all go bananas.

Okay. And and you got the lady aliens that are pretending they are the dude aliens, and the dude aliens pretending that they are the lady aliens, and the dude aliens that want the alien feed the baby. I mean, oh my gosh. Would you really at that moment go, this seems like the best? They seem stable.

This is the time I'm going to reveal my existence. Would you choose that point in time? I wouldn't. Which brings us an amazing segue to this video.

So I know you've seen this video. We've watched this video. I am still shocked at how high this chick's voice is. Juan thinks she sounds like Miss Piggy. She does.

So let me break it down.

So there's this video. Where this chick, she's on the plane. And she Is sitting next to some dude who is in a green hoodie. And there's another video that comes out. later and you can see this guy in a green hoodie.

And she Freaks out. On the plane. Freaks out. She says that he's not human. And apparently.

One of the dudes that was sitting three, this is the story, this is the internet story. A guy who was sitting three rows behind says that the guy in the green hoodie winked. Uh But Vertically. Like like sliding doors as opposed to a window.

So this is so now let's play this video, 'cause it's crazy.

So Okay. I'm telling you, I'm getting the f ⁇ off. And there's a reason why I'm getting the f. She's very upset. They either believe it or they cannot believe it.

I don't give two f. But I am telling you Right out! That mother f! That mother back there is not real! He's not.

And you can You can f Die with them or not? Oh my gosh.

She's like really Yeah. Juan says that those gummies were hard. Does that do you actually freak out? Can you freak out on gummies? I guess if she's doing it.

I don't know. She really believes what she's saying.

Now, I have a theory.

So there's a multiple, several different ways to look at this, okay? The first way, let's just look at it the first way. We could say, and it's might it's like an Occam's razor. Maybe she's high as a kite. Who knows?

Maybe, as Juan said, she had some horrid gummies, you know, and they were she had way too many. And she could just be freaking out. Maybe she took them 'cause she gets anxiety when she flies. Who knows? There's some people like that.

I have friends who freak out when they fly. And she just, you know, was helping herself. It didn't look like anybody was getting off the plane with her. Also, it just looked like it was herself.

So, I don't know, maybe just, you know, maybe she that and then maybe she had a drink or something with it, who knows? And she's just crazy.

Okay. Like, so crazy, you don't even want to add the Z in there for fear it might draw her attention.

So you just say cray. It could be that. And this poor dude, who is pictured in a later video with his green hood up, he's just trying to hide from the crazy lady. Could be. Or Maybe he's a lizard dude who winked ver oh who winked vertically.

And everyone she's like all freaking out over it. And some other dude who was sitting three rows back, I don't know how he would have seen, but maybe he saw. I don't know. And she's like, she sees it. Because maybe it's like I said, the aliens don't want to reveal themselves to us.

Or Maybe it's neither of those things. Maybe. It's a Rorschach test, a snapshot of where we are mentally as a society. We so badly want to be distracted that we are willing to entertain the idea that there's a lizard sitting on that plane and that it's not 'cause she had too many gummies. It's because he's a lizard.

And there's a cover-up.

Someone's hiding something.

Now It's easy to think that there might be because we have been duped. I mean, there was the thing We just I mean there's a story that I have here later on that I'm gonna That I was going to discuss. How, like, for instance, you know, there's this list of side effects that now has been made public, their FOIA requests and all that stuff. And oh my gosh, look at all this stuff that's related to the coronavirus vaccine. And death was apparently always known to be a potential side effect and all this other stuff.

And everybody hid it. Just like everybody was hiding that natural immunity or trying to deny natural immunity existed. Or how the press now, with this case that we're going to be talking about here shortly, which is an injunction in Missouri v. Biden, how you have a judge that has put a stop to the government reaching out to social media and technological companies so that they are not conspiring or colluding to suppress speech from ordinary average everyday. Americans.

And you have the press saying, well, that's, you know, this is just a bunch of paranoid righties that want to rewrite the First Amendment because they're paranoid. That's how it's being presented in the press.

So I get it. You we have been lied to And we haven't believed it, but we've watched them really, really earnestly try to get us to believe it. We have been lied to six ways to Sunday. Over and over and over again. I get it.

So when something like this comes out, You're kind of primed. to more easily entertain the idea. That maybe it was Mark Zuckerberg in that green hoodie sitting on the plane. It could be. Speaking of which, He's launched uh threads.

Have you seen this? Yeah. You basically if you're on Instagram, you just sign up with through. Instagram does it for you in a couple of clicks. And it's they're calling it a Twitter killer.

Is it though? You know how many times they've said this? I'm so tired of having different social media things open. Because you I don't want to have to see the same damn annoying operatives on another platform. Cali Why?

Why would we do that? No I mean, I I looked at it to see, I'm not going to use it. I'm not posting on it. As much as I hate the new TweetDeck preview, But I'm not gonna post on it.

So we're gonna we'll talk a little bit about that. We also have uh the two stories that I was talking to you about. The side effects, that whole thing that came out, and also the latest. With the tech case, because you have the media that is lamenting free speech. Wait until you hear how they've covered some of this.

I mean, I'm sure you can imagine, but I got more. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. Man, I really wish we could sit here and go over what we were discussing on break, but we can't.

Alright, so. We have a. Oh, of course I have this. Of course. What is up with me in these headlines lately?

Uh, so it started off with UFO hunting Harvard scientists seeing debris from an unidentified object that crashed in the Pacific in 2014, or it could be artificial in origin, but wait, there's more.

So apparently, they say this one House investigator warns that UFOs are beyond control in our military airspace. Are they? I've got some questions. Very interesting. Just saying.

And you remember that Las Vegas family that called 911? Do you remember this whole story? They said that they were 10-foot-tall aliens in the backyard.

Well, now they're threatening trespassers because people are trespassing on their property and they're overrun with UFO sleuths. I mean, they are absolutely overrun. They said that they had to, police had to actually install cameras on the roof of their home because so many people are descending on their house. Is that not crazy? Wow.

But also, why haven't we heard more about that? Hmm, just wondering. That lizard guy on the plane was there. Let's see. The anti-child trafficking film from Jim Coviesel, Sound of Freedom, $10 million in pre-sales before July 4th.

That's a pretty impressive opening. That's according to some of the latest box office numbers. This, for the most part, faith-based, based on a true story titles, about former Homeland Security agent, Tim Ballard. He took rescuing abducted children around the globe into his own hands. And so that's, I mean, it's a.

looks like a pretty it looks like a $20 million six-day start. And that's pretty impressive for an independent project like that.

So it's doing quite well. Also, states are suing. The EPA. Over the damaging environmental impact of residential wood burning stoves. Attorneys General from 10 states are accusing the EPA of failing to review and ensure emission standards.

All this 60-day notice of intent. They're fighting with the, it's Alaska, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota. All the, you know, the usual suspects. That are filing suit over this. Also, from the BBC Threads, the Instagram, well, it's all by Facebook now, because Facebook owns Instagram.

So, Threads launched. to rival Twitter this morning. And all you have to do is just like sign in if you feel like it. Do you really want something, another thing that you have to update? I wouldn't.

I'm just saying. Texas's Heartbeat Act, according to new numbers, saved 10,000 babies. Texas Scorecard has a study that was done by researchers at John Hopkins, and they found that it was about actually over 9,799 more births. Stick with us, more in store. And make sure you sign up for the newsletter over at Substack Chapter and Verse to accompany the radio broadcast and of course the simulcast.

Welcome back. I was reading some of the reviews. of my friend Carol Roth's new book. You will own Nothing. I love the cover of this book.

I think this is one of my favorite book covers. You're a war with a new financial world order and how to fight back. What gets me? about and why I'm so amused with some of the you know the meaner progressive status commie reviews that they're saying, oh, well, this is just fear mongering, except it's not and literally everything that she has said is going to happen. What's happened?

It's happened. Like, oh, you just have to have eyes. Oh my gosh.

Joining us right now, our dear friend Carol Roth, who she says she's a recovering investment banker. And she has a brand new bestseller out. You will own nothing. And that's your war with new financial world order and how to fight back. Carol, congratulations.

And I mean, you've been right. And I was just, you know, I was perusing some of the write-ups about it. And everybody's, it's like there's a stark divide. All the people that can do math are like, yep, this is right. And the people that want to deny the mathematical reality are saying, well, this is fear-mongering.

And, you know, this is from someone who doesn't like masking and thinks that EVs are bad. And that's not what your point is at all. I mean, you're talking about everything that all of these larger entities are doing in order to essentially control American wealth.

So, first of all, I have to thank you for lending your name to this book. And I think part of the reason why you like the book cover, which I'm going to show the people who are actually watching, it's not only the front, awesome, but Dana Lash is awesome. Love the back. Awesome, my favorite.

So it's super cool. But yeah, so I actually, I didn't even know. I stumbled into that one review I think that you were referencing.

Someone sent it to me this morning. I'd never even heard of the outlet. This outlet is so credible that instead of linking me with the two books that I actually wrote, they linked me with the children's book author, Carol Ronst.

So it's text. I wrote like, you will own nothing and go to bed, sweetheart, and something like that, which makes no sense. I love it. And it really made, you know, it was really just annoying to me. It was clear they didn't read the book because the whole point of this book was to take the conspiracy element out of it.

And they just scanned through and they saw, oh, well, she mentioned Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson, so that must be bad. And it's like, okay, but I also mentioned Joe Biden and the Fed and, you know, all of these things. That in their own words, you've skipped over that entire scenario. And there was no sort of argument there. It wasn't like, oh, you know, they don't, you know, Wall Street is buying up houses.

You know, here, let me try and explain why that's a good thing that one out of every five houses going to a corporate investor instead of a single family when it's the largest asset on you know household balance sheets in the U.S. It was just like, oh, well, you know, she likes these people, so it's bad. Yeah, you immediately have to be discredited. It's trying to, it's like this quasi-guilt by association.

Well, she mentioned this person, so she must be as bad. Our friend Caroline Roth, her new book, You Will Own Nothing, really gets into, I mean, it's, it's, It is a scary vision of the future. It's not a vision of the future. It's a scary observation as to what is going to happen in the future if we continue on the path that we are on now. And Kane and I were just talking on break, you know, for instance, just about, I saw the headline about, you know, whether the Fed's going to consider increasing rates again because government can't stop spending.

And we're talking about trying to control inflation. And they're thinking about maybe pulling the trigger sooner rather than later. And we're in this horrible cycle of the government's continuing to spend. No one can afford anything. Our wages aren't keeping up with that difference.

How high are the rates going to go? I mean, where is this going to? By the time 2024 gets here, are we going to have anything left?

So, you know, the Fed has an interesting scenario where they have to balance making sure that the banking system doesn't collapse as well as trying to control inflation. And the reality is that inflation on a year-over-year basis has been coming down because it was at such a high level before. Plus, we've gotten an assist because there has been a concern over a global slowdown.

So the price of oil has come down. And so that's been a huge part of this entire story.

So, you know, this could potentially go up.

Some, I think, that they will probably maybe go up a little bit more, then pause again. But I think the wild card really is the price of oil. You know, we had a very mild winter last year. And so that meant that Europe and the U.S. We didn't have this massive desire and demand for oil over and above sort of the norm.

That's not a strategy. That was a gift. Nobody did anything to fix that cycle.

So if we get a cold winter this year, I think all bets are off.

So we're just going back and betting on the weather. But the thing, going back to this conspiracy element and what you were talking about, things like the fact that our public debt to GDP is at 125%, and the IMF has said that the sort of place where that becomes unsustainable is like 70 to 80%. The fact that the Treasury and the CBO have said we're on an unsustainable fiscal path, like, are they conspiracy theorists too? Because I've cited where they say that. It's clear that the Fed has not held the dollar stable for the good of either the U.S.

or the global economy. And that has caused the reserves to go down on a global basis, de-dollarization on the reserve level. That some of the BRICS countries are looking to start a new currency. This is in the news everyday mainstream media corporate press.

So where is the conspiracy element? Joe Biden on the White House's website said to the business roundtable in a speech, there's going to be a new world order out there and we've got to lead it and explains the historical cycles we're in and the fact that we've been in the poll position for about 80 years, but that that doesn't last forever. And before us, it was Britain and before Britain, it was the Dutch. Like this is not conspiracy. This is a history.

So the idea that they don't want to address these issues and just brush them under the table and try to label it conspiratorial is almost as concerning as the things that are being perpetrated against us. Yeah, completely. That is, and you're right. I remember we were actually talking about some of that, those Brick Nations with their own currency and the effect that that's going to have. We're talking with our friend Carol Roth, whose new book, You Will Own Nothing, Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back.

One of the things that we talked about, I think it was like. maybe one of the last times she was on, last time you were on, was the Fed Now. That Fedman system that's going to faster payment. They act like it's going to be this huge help. That I think goes into effect this week.

So, it's coming into effect. I'm not as concerned about that as some of the other people are. And I think we talked about this last time because I do think that's more of the settlement and payment. We already use wire transfers and ACH, but I am very concerned about the central bank digital currency, which they did a pilot program with the New York Fed and 12 different financial institutions. That has been completed and they put out a report.

It was at the wholesale level, but they said, oh, this is fantastic. And so, once we go down that rabbit hole, then you get into a retail. The G7 has come out with coordinated retail-facing CBDC principles.

So, these are not the actions that you take if this is something that nobody's thinking about and is entirely off the table. And that's really scary, you know, both from a direct basis, just the further centralization of the currency, the potential for a too big to fail meltdown, and all of the potential attacks that are going to happen because we have no decentralized. Within that system, but also in terms of our agency and our freedom and what they could do to manipulate and control the currency. And, you know, particularly as we marry it with things like social credit, which we have seen on an informal basis throughout COVID and how that impacted our livelihoods. A lot of people think about social credit and that freedom of framework, but they don't think about the economic freedom, the property rights, and how that was violated, whether it was your social standing, whether it was taking your job, whether it was shutting down your business.

If you were in Canada, part of the trucker convoy, they froze your bank accounts.

So, you know, that kind of a social credit implementation, you said something bad on Twitter.

Now, not only do you not have access to social media, but maybe they shut off access to you. Accessing your money and being able to pay for things you need to live. There was a headline about Nigel Farars just this morning. That was like one of the first stories that I saw. His bank closed his account because he retweeted Ricky Trevais.

Of all the things, he retweeted Ricky, which, you know, he's like, I could think of like a million more comedians that are probably more controversial than Ricky Gervais, but that's apparently what did Nigel Fararjin. His bank, his bank closes his account. Yeah, one that he had been with for a very long period of time, ostensibly. And so now you have, you know, these infrastructure institutions where you don't have a lot of free choice. And they're really part of, you know, making sure that you can participate in society, now weighing in on whether you're part of right think or wrongthink and the implications around that.

Not to mention, you know, we talk about the home. You know, as we have these corporations who are now competing with you to buy a home and rent you the American dream, one of the conversations I had is imagine that with social credit.

So not only have they taken away, you know, your opportunity to generate wealth, but now you're under somebody else's purview, who, by the way, is probably backed by one of these big banks that's touting ESG and whatever. And now you do something that is quote unquote bad social credit. Do you lose your housing? I mean, these are things that I don't think people have thought about. If you had talked about this 10 years ago, I might have thought it was far-fetched.

Having done this research for You Will Own Nothing and going through the last three years, I don't think we can dismiss that anymore. And to your point, we're talking with our friend Carol Roth, her new book, You Will Own Nothing, which is out this week. I don't remember if I told you this out today. I don't remember if I told you this before. When we sold our last house, it was the first house we bought when we moved to Texas.

And this was a number of years ago. And this was the first time I've ever seen anything like this. And this was before everyone was talking about BlackRock buying up properties. We had Texas, a very competitive housing market because everybody's coming in from California. We had all these offers on our house, and it was weird because the highest offer they were going above what was offered and no strings, nothing, but it was a company.

Everyone else was a family. And I was not familiar with that. And I'm not into Trump levels of real estate or anything. And I know what I know and I know what I don't. But I thought, that's kind of weird.

I've never seen it. And it freaked me out. And I didn't want to sell it to him.

Well, so this is a thing that you have to do and you have to fight back.

So the reason why you're not familiar with this is because it didn't exist before 2010. Before the Fed manipulated monetary policy and gave all of this cheap, easy money to Wall Street and, you know, droves and on ballots, basically, you know, they drove up every asset class. They didn't have anywhere else to put their money.

So they went, oh. maybe we'll buy homes that sounds great and so that enabled this transfer of wealth from main street to wall street and now you have these these companies they're coming and they're buying up more than one out of every five homes in the united states as of the end of last year and they don't want to fix it up and you know sell it to the next person they want to rent you the american dream they want to take that that you know generational wealth opportunity away from you and they want to transfer that to wall street and these companies they've got tens of thousands of homes one of the things i did in the book is i just went to their financial filings the 10ks and the Annual reports, and I just showed their language. Again, apparently, that's a scaremongering conspiracy theory, according to the reviews. But I told you what they said, and they said they go after the middle class because they have the jobs and the ability to pay. And this is a golden opportunity and a once-in-a-generation asset class.

I mean, it's unbelievable. And so, this is a fantastic way for you to fight back if you own a house. Yes, I want you to get the best price possible, but maybe don't get that extra couple thousand dollars and don't sell it to a corporation. That's a great point. I mean, it is amazing all of the different ways that they are, I mean, conspiring to, and I love how you put it.

I mean, you're, you can rent the American dream. You don't get to own it because you own nothing, but you get to rent. the American dream. This is a must-read book. I'm so happy that you wrote this book and I'm so grateful that you're sharing your expertise on this with everyone else and coming on and sharing it with us as well.

Carol Roth, you will own nothing. Go and get this book. If you have not purchased it already, get a couple copies. Give it to someone who's mathematically less inclined than you because we have an economic illiteracy, an epidemic of illiteracy as it relates to economics in this country. Carol Roth, congratulations.

Thank you so much. Good to see you. Yes. Thank you for your support. Remember, the elites want you to own nothing, but Dana and I want you to own everything.

So get the Planify back. Absolutely. Thank you so much. You will own nothing out today. Go and get the book.

Our friend Carol Roth. Uh It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida man.

So, this was a 58-year-old Florida man in Boca Rattan. He was arrested. This was Friday night. Because He was this is so weird. He's in Palm Beach County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

and he saw a group of four kids walking down the street. He was hidin' in the bushes. This guy, this Weirdo Brian Wood, fifty eight years old, was hiding in the bushes wearing a black shirt with shorts, pulled down and his underwear up, and as the juveniles walked by, I guess he came out of the bushes and said, You aren't real, you're demons. And then he pulled down his underwear.

Well that sounds really good. Oh my gosh.

So the juveniles, the kids obviously became frightened and they ran into a KFC. And then, not long after, the Boca Rattan police responded to a 911 caller who's the kids' basketball coach. The kids' basketball coach came to meet with them or came to stay with the kids and wait for the police, Charles Cocklin. And so, the coach told the officer that he found Wood less than a half a mile away where he made the emergency call. The 58-year-old was found and taken into custody.

Now, Wood says that he said he admitted to talking to the juveniles, the kids, but he said he didn't pull his pants down, which we all know is a lie.

So, I mean. Is that how he thinks you solved the Bremen problem? Oh my gosh, Piers. Good grief. I would totally do this six ways to Sunday.

I don't know if y'all saw this or not. But um This uh Florida man It's a video of a Florida man legit wrestling, a black bear, who tried to get at his dogs. On his porch, the man Walt Hickox, which is that's a cowboy name, if ever I heard one. He, at least one of the man's dogs, was on the porch with him. He's hanging out.

I mean, nice evening. You know, he's out on his porch. And uh it was Daytona Beach. and one of the man's dogs is out in the porch with him. A black bear decided to come on over.

And uh Then a second predator burst through the door, and that's when he lost his mind. And uh blocked the entrance and he uh was able to get his dog, get his dog back in the house, but he was wrestling with this bear on video. They had Florida fish and wildlife come out.

So that's pretty amazing. I would totally do that too. I completely. Florida man caught a burglar sleeping in his front yard. Will you burgle a home?

Aren't you? Supposed to leave it after? Jackson County, Florida. Florida man was prompted to call police. He woke up to the very unusual sight of a Florida man sleeping on his front yard.

And this was like 5:30 in the morning. Deputies got a call from the victim saying that he found a man in the yard. And when the victim tried to make contact with the suspect, the suspect started frantically reaching inside of his vehicle. And uh the victim had armed himself with a weapon for protection. When deputies arrived, they secured the suspect and the victim's weapon.

But then they saw all the burglary tools and a mask in plain view. Right there in his seat, right there in the car. And they found also, after a simple search of the vehicle, a crowbar, a lockpick, gloves, masks, knives, brass knuckles, prescription medication not prescribed to the suspect, and all kinds of drug paraphernalia. And of course, the perp, Charles Carter, has a lengthy record. He was taken into custody.

Yes. Left it right out. He fell asleep. How do you fall asleep on the job? You're a burglar.

Stay with us. Third hour on the way. If you are colluding and you're in the FBI or DHS or any of these with tech, you're going to get canned. You're going to be shown the door. We're going to have zero tolerance for that because it really strikes at the fundamentals of a free society.

I think that, as he said, a trial. I think that's, and that's Ron DeSantis in one of his remarks just over, because he's been. He's been uh Everywhere. Everybody, all these candidates have. And then he goes back to Florida and signs bills.

Uh very busy. But he was saying, look, big tech, this is it. I mean, you're not going to have the federal government colluding with these companies to try to suppress people's speech. And as much as the media wants to act like that didn't happen, that's simply not the truth. At all.

There are too many people that were affected by it for them to be gaslit into believing that it never happened. What is it? That's my truth, but it's the truth. Welcome back to the show. Top of this third hour.

And good to be with you this Friday as we round out your week and head into this weekend. And Dana Lash here with you. Make sure you sign up for chapter and verse over at Substack. I'll have a wrap up for the week because it's there was a lot of Crazy stuff that came out over the week. And then I'll send that out to you.

Always good stuff that comes out to that out. with Substack every day. And If you're not listening terrestrially or streaming the show, obviously you can watch the Simulcast, Channel 347, Direct TV, YouTube, Facebook, all good things.

So, um. We're all trying to not talk about this one bit of audio that we have on the audio list. I know it's a big story, but I almost I. legitimately want to vomit.

So Because I did actually have someone say, you need to spend more time on the chest feeding thing. I'll vomit. And I'm not saying that as like a. You know, I'm not, it's not an entertainment thing. I legitimately will puke.

I can't deal with it. I have.

Okay, so let me tell you this story so you understand my perspective. It's not that I don't think it's super important. I legitimately will get sick.

So I have this. Tick. I guess you want to call it that. If I see someone.

Okay. Um if I Or if they even act like they're going to sometimes. Or if they, you know. I will it's I mean, it is just, I can't stop it. I don't even think about it.

It just happens. I'm going to tell you a horror story.

Okay. One time when my youngest son was a little baby and he was in this little baby-bjorn baby carrier, right? And I had my oldest son who was like three and a half, four at the time. We were at the super Walmart, right? Had to go get some groceries.

I got the youngest one some fries or the oldest one some fries 'cause he likes, you know, would he sit in the cart and he'd eat his fries or sit under the cart when kids did that. Did they are they allowed to do that anymore? I don't know. Eat his fries and I'd go and I'd get groceries.

Well For whatever reason, he got sick and threw up under the cart. On himself. And I could not even Deal with it. I knew that I had had this. I've been like this since I was a little kid.

Okay. And I'm sitting there and I'm looking at my youngest son who threw up some fries on his shirt, or my oldest son threw up some fries on his shirt under the cart. And I just threw up on the baby that I was wearing. I threw up on my baby all over my baby's head. It was horrible.

That's like the third. That wasn't the first time that happened. It happened two other times, too. Like later on in life, when I'd be carrying him and I'd be dealing with a sick kid, and somebody would, if a dog vomits, I will. I can't handle it, it will happen.

without even me being able to control it.

Now you're like, Dana, what does that have to do with the story and this mystery audio that you don't want to play?

So the chest feeding thing So I had we had a listener who sent an email. And people vent, you know, and they were outraged. Did you see the story? Blah, blah, blah. What are they getting?

What kind of Noxious. Excretions is the child getting, and that I got to stop there because it's already happening. And the way that they were describing it in the email, I actually had to grab my office. trash can. It was one of the, I was like, oh.

I just couldn't. Huh? It is so nasty. I cannot even Get there to discuss it. You know what I mean?

Yes, I do. Like your. Everything gets fuzzy. And you're just like, why is that? And the sound gets quieter in your ears, and then the next thing you know, you're throwing up and falling on the floor because it's so gross.

Or is it just me? It is so nasty. I I cannot believe that we are having this conversation. in this day and age. It is I mean, it's one of the crazy, and the CDC isn't, the CDC is encouraging literal insanity.

Like actual craziness. Dudes cannot breastfeed kids. We're not calling it chest feeding. Dudes cannot breastfeed kids. That's the CDC has been that's and they're using your taxes.

Our tax dollars to do this, which is the other thing. It is the craziest thing. They were they were trying to say that whatever males are making is also No. Um My ears ring. Give me a second.

I'm not joking. I can't even, it's so nasty, guys. I can't. It's so gross. This is like a professional radio show, but I got my limits, okay?

Mm. Oh, man, it's so gross, Kane. You wanna jump in here? I sure don't. I sure don't.

Oh my gosh.

Just imagine that. Get a little hair in your mouth. Oh my gosh.

Are you. This is the. Your dad plated this mic. He did. I don't like hair in my milk.

I don't like it. Just saying. Yeah. Golly, why are we? We're talking about this because the CDC, it's tax dollars.

Also, it's not milk. Oh, no, it's not. No. No, it's not. Don't just let's not talk about what it could be.

It's gross, but I just can't. Mm. I'm gonna need some inya almost. we're gonna be at that point. I mean, it is your.

It's your tax dollars. Let's just talk about the economic of it economics of it real quick. The CDC, which is a tax-funded entity. they're recommending that dudes, Jack themselves up with hormones and Everything else. Chemicals.

So that they can Artificially engineer.

Some weird liquid to come out of their chest. I don't know. To me, it doesn't feel like this is anything. Actually, not to me. This is what it is.

This has nothing to do with the nutrition of an infant, this has to do with your satisfaction. of having a kid latch onto you. That's what it is. Let's be real. I mean, you Oh my gosh, are you okay?

Because, see, if you, if you, I kid you not, if you do it, I will. Ask anybody at you ought to know this. You know this. Oh, I know this. Yeah.

No. This is what our tax money's going to. Does they the C D C was the they came out with this and they were encouraging it. What? The agents, yeah, that's what their thing was.

That's our tax dollars. Based on what historical data? None. What historical data are they going by? None.

Cry now. I mean Dudes don't have that ability. Uh that's what I can't. purpose. Uh Hitting back at the CDC for this because the CDC, they were telling people, well, look at the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine protocol, and they were trying to break down how men who are men, biological men, even though if they want to cosplay as women, they can, you know, have breast augmentation and can chest feed an infant baby.

They can't. Oh, golly. That's so. No, you can't. You're a freak.

That's putting my own. Stop it. That's this is not. There's no, you're not, the kid's not getting any kind of nutritional. value from you at all.

This is so ridiculous. It's abs this is absolutely abusive. This isn't about feeding children. This is about you being a freak. Get mad because I'm much more concerned about the well-being of a kid than ticking off some grown-ass man who wants to cosplay as a woman to the point where they want to do this.

We're not no. And you know, the the crazy thing is. is that the FDA like back in like twenty years ago. We're telling women not to use this uh Uh drug called uh domperidone. To increase milk production because it was unsafe for kids, but that's what they're giving.

Dudes? who want to identify as women. What kind of Mm. I mean, you have to take estradol, what progesterone? The Dom Peridone.

I mean, all of this stuff to induce some kind of discharge that you want to call actation. And you think that's healthy? Are you kidding me? How was that That completely defeats the entire purpose of why women choose to breastfeed. This isn't about the kids, this is about dudes.

who want to identify as women. And who are expanding? There it's a fetish. I'm just amazed at this. And they act like it's so self-sacrificial.

I mean, oh my gosh. So I mean, it's you're using, I mean, you're using babies as props, is what it is, but it is a fetish. And these guys are mad, they're trying to. Redefine their fetish as an actual legitimate, some kind of nutritional practice, and it's not. And we have got to, as a society, stop accommodating this ridiculousness.

It's not, this has nothing to do with health. It has nothing to do with nutrition. It's fetish cosplay. And they're involving kids. And it amazes me.

I mean, we, you know, we look back on ancient cultures and we're like, can you believe that they participated in child sacrifice? That's what's happening today. And that's what people are doing today continually with kids, whether it's abortion on demand or whether it's this kind of stuff. It is insane. And people get so upset if you Say the obvious, but it is.

I mean, I think it's freakish, and it's, and it's, they're fetishizing feeding children, and it's disgusting. I mean, how is that not criminal? How is it not? Three questions. See, it's so gross.

That's why. Do I? I really don't want to. I addressed it. Do I have to play this audio?

I'd be fine if you did not. Because This week it's been about Cocaine. Chest feeding, and if we play this, that's the trifecta. I'm not really interested in that. Just to let you know, it's audio from this dude named Charlotte Clymer.

And I don't really oh my gosh, we're gonna have to do it. Aren't we? This is the last. This is the f the the It's somewhat news. But this is the stuff that we're talking.

This was an actual. Where was this at? It was at a QA that they were having. Yeah. Uh an academic-based Q ⁇ A.

Oh, is that right? Apparently. I mean, we also don't forget, we also had the Lady the Menstrators thing this week, too. Listen to this. This is what we're dealing with.

This is crazy. I hate everything. I have a really good friend here. Her name is Ellie Langford. And she co-wrote a book with Elise Hoag, the former president on New York Pro-Choice America about the history of disinformation and how it's been weaponized by the far right on social issues, specifically on reproductive access.

And I've been thinking about this because I love this generation. I mean, Ginzi and younger are just, they're better informed, they're smarter, they're more empathetic, all the things. But every now and then, you know, I'll see something that really concerns me. And there was a TikTok video that went viral, I think, last year of this young man who was under the impression that women don't actually have a whole team. And it's like these are things that are very easily solved by just talking to your kids and offering some context or just basic sex ed.

Right. Okay, well what a note to end on. Yeah, and you helped it. I hate everything. Where's Smod?

Where is Smot? You know, basic biology is. uh contradicts what you're doing on stage. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So apparently now Bud Light is cheaper than water. Hmm. See? I always did think water was tastier, but they said that $20 billion Dylan Mulvaney disaster, Dylan disaster.

Some stores reported a 50% decline in sales. Uh yeah, they like bottled water is actually more expensive.

Now, then. That's pretty amazing. SpaceX has a $300,000 flying car. It it does kind of look cool. It looks like a Giantidus, though, has a range of 200 miles.

And they said that FAA officials are developing policies for electrical vertical takeoff and landing, E-V-T-O-L, as well as regulations and ground infrastructure. But you have to, apparently, to even operate that, the FAA right now is proposing a rule that if you even want a car that flies, you have to become a certified pilot. and that you have to have a pilot's license to do it. I think at some point, if they do we really need the flying cars though, really? Can you imagine what that airspace is gonna look like?

I mean, if you've seen people with drones, I mean, have you seen? I mean, it's it's I can't even imagine what that would look like. I don't, I don't even want to. I just don't know. Exactly.

Cruise ship smacks into San Francisco's Pier 27. Thousands of people were on board. It remains docked. It smashed into this pier yesterday morning. A spokesperson with Princess Cruises tells KTVU, the Channel 2 Fox affiliate out there, that they were awaiting clearance from the Coast Guard to see if the ship is deemed fit to sail.

As of last night, there was no departure time frame confirmed.

So, apparently, I mean, everybody was okay. They had like thousands of guests on it. Travelers were allowed to get off the ship. Most passengers didn't even know. They had no idea there's anything wrong.

Nobody felt anything. They're saying that there's a new crisis at the border: traumatic injuries caused by falls from the 30-foot wall. Maybe if you stop scaling it, then you won't fall. There's the thought.

So this is the teaser video. You can't see it. Obviously, if you're listening across the country in the radio program, which you can listen across the country radio, you can stream the show, you can watch the simulcast of the program as well: Channel 347, Direct TV, YouTube, Facebook. And it's. There's so much garbage out there.

It's like very difficult, I think, for especially when we've been discussing all of the books in schools and how everything is just so engineered to be DEI and CRT and historically inaccurate, and not fun either, because everything is so preachy and so. It you're lectured to and it's Boring. My gosh, kids today. I feel so bad for you because everything sucks out loud. It's so horrible.

And a lot of it's coming from like the old fuddy-duddies in Gen X. Like, what happened to Gen X? Why is this? Is this boomer stuff? No offense, boomers, but what is happening here?

And so I was pretty stoked. When Actually, this sounds really mean, how I'm gonna say it. A friend of mine who lived in LA and worked in of w w worked for a very famous company. And when he announced he was leaving and he was leaving LA behind and he was done with all of it. I mean, it sounded like he was having an existential crisis, kind of, but he was done with LA and done with all of it.

And I was so excited because you know that he was leaving it. And I knew that there were going to be greater things on the horizon for him. But he just was so disillusioned by all the wokery and everything else. And I think that was, he was like one of the first people out of the wave of people that were leaving LA, one of the first creators, one of the first artists to like finally say enough is enough and leave. And so now, after this cocoon stage, He's come out with.

Well, he's been doing a lot of really cool stuff, but he's come out with a really good, it's like a 13-series graphic novel for, I would say, young adults, really for all ages. And it's called Silence Do Good. And it's a really cool concept on Ben Franklin. And it incorporates AI and it's kind of matrix-y, and it has a real, it's a really good premise because we're really kind of rolling towards this world anyway where we're everybody's online, everybody lives in a you know quasi-virtual reality now as it is. AI is becoming incredibly prevalent.

A lot of people are going to be out of jobs. We've seen the you know the war robots and the robot dogs and the fighting robots and all of this stuff. I mean, my gosh.

So now we have. We have Ben Franklin ripped from his own timeline. And I think it's a really cool. Concept. And we're going to talk to my friend Sean Salter about this.

And you can find him at Salty Draws. And he is an award-winning-winning creator, and writer, and illustrator. And he left the what he calls the People's Republic of California. And he's been in the business for decades now. And he joins us now via Skype.

You have like the coolest studio ever, by the way, I have to say. Welcome. It's good to see you. Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Of course. I love the concept on this because you started. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, because you kind of started you know, feeling this out years ago, really even before AI exploded within the past, you know, 15 months.

Now, now companies are like, oh my gosh, we're trying to catch up to the AI revolution. And that's kind of what this is, because it's Ben Franklin. I mean, it's a world that's, it could be 10 years from now, where everything is really dominated by software and AI and algorithms. And we all respond to that. It's this artificially constructed world.

And you have Ben Franklin, who is, you know, the protagonist. And now we're trying to have another revolution, so to speak. Very interesting timing, by the way, on Bastille Day. Tell me about this. It's just a really exciting project that I've been working on for a very long time.

on the side as I work on all the other stuff that you know that I work on. And really what it what it what it is for me is I love American history. And I love, I'm a conservative. And I, I, I kind of became disillusioned not only with what the, what the woke left is doing, but. Even on our side, we're not really telling stories yet.

We're lecturing, we're preaching, we're doing data, and we're doing logic and reason, which is great. But I'm like, I want to have fun. And there's a l I wanted to harken back to Sis Lewis. What's that? Where's the whimsy?

That's what you're saying. Yeah, like I wanted to do something like with JR Tolkien. It's very, there's morals there, there's a good story there, there's value there. But it's fun, and it's a world you can get lost in, and that's what I'm doing with this. And this is a it's I love obviously I love the artwork.

For people who don't know, you did you did the art, you did my logo. You've done a lot of the a lot of the stuff that people are used to seeing. You've you've done that talking with our friend Sean Salter. Salty Draws is the website. And Silence Do Good is the series of graphic novels.

And it's you have, what, 13 issues that are coming out, correct? Yeah, 13 issues that'll make comprise of four volumes. That's awesome. And so, this, Ben Franklin, so tell me about this because. I mean, it's everybody knows Ben Franklin.

Everybody knows old Ben Franklin, right? Everybody knows old Ben Franklin, the air-bathing Ben Franklin, the guy who's like somewhat eccentric, you know, but also incredibly wise. He's sort of the team. Temperate member of the founders. He's the one who kind of, I mean, you got to have everybody, a guy in every group that kind of keeps everyone back and is the wise counsel.

That's sort of how he has always been. And historically, that's how he was. This is young Ben Franklin. This is the Ben Franklin of when he was writing under Ms. Silence Dugood because no one, the current wasn't publishing his stuff.

And so he decided to be really, you know, snotty about it and send it, you know, using these pseudonyms and all of this. Tell me about this, though, because this is young Ben Franklin. He's he's kind of. For the lack of a better way to put it, he's sort of like a superhero, but an accessible superhero, because his power is wit and intelligence. Yeah.

And it takes place with Ben Franklin being 18 years old when he traveled to England to secure a printing press for his. the the newspaper that he was starting. Um, and he gets stuck there for three years because the mayor of the city that he lived in kind of reneged on the deal.

So this is saying, was he in England or was he kidnapped? And trapped in a VR program for three years. Because that's sort of, we're questioning, kind of, in this world, we're sort of questioning. I mean, it is very existential. You're questioning existence.

We're questioning, you know, where everyone is so online. And in this world, everyone is so online. Everyone engages. Everything is online. Everything is AI.

It's all virtual reality. What is real? What isn't real? And so, through, you know, without giving everything away, like through, you know, a loophole, he ends up time traveling. Yep.

And really, what it is, is it's kind of questioning: what is man's destiny and purpose in a life that is so virtual? What is man supposed to do? What are they supposed to accomplish? Because there's always a destiny, there's always a purpose for each individual human being. And that kind of might get lost in a world of AI and robots and automation.

And so it kind of explores that. But while it also I'm attacking the attacks on masculinity and the feminization of young boys, That'll be a story that gets explored, as well as seeing really cool stories in American history of George Washington crossing the Delaware. I love that. And I love the celebration of masculinity as well. Really, I mean, anymore, all you have to do is have a strong male lead.

And that's considered toxic anymore. It's gotten a little ridiculous.

So, how did you draw on? Because I know you're a big fan of history.

So, when you're creating. Young Ben Franklin. I mean, everything that we know I mean, we know that he was, you know, devoted he had a great work ethic. He was devoted to his work. We know that he was very sarcastic and he was very witty and very creative.

What did you all what did you draw on or in order to really bring this character and fully well-rounded to life in the series? I mean, really just his writings and biographies about him. He's such a rich character, and there's so much there, and we have so much to pull from. Of just what we know and what we can read from his own journals. It's really just pulling from that and then imagining what that would look like as an 18-year-old before he has all the knowledge and the wisdom.

So, we're going to see a Ben Franklin that's not necessarily that astute scholar, but more of an 18-year-old kind of figuring it out and growing into that character that we know. And he, and also, because you don't, you don't, I've noticed you don't really make him anachronistic throughout the entire series. I mean, he actually fits into. If that makes sense. He sort of comports to the time that he is in.

He doesn't always stay like, ye old young Ben Franklin from the days of yore. Like, he becomes like a modern dude. Yeah, re and a lot of that has to do with just making it relatable. Because it's about who he is as a character, not necessarily the dressing of that fancy Vict you know, pre-Victorian type. World.

Why did you choose him? To as the vehicle for this. He's just, I look at him as the most prolific American founding father. He's a very interesting guy. I figured with a sci-fi story, it really works because he was a scientist, he was an inventor.

And I wanna explore all that about him, his inventive side. In the series, he literally invents a turkey robot. Because he loves turkeys, as we know. He wanted that to be the national bird. And so, why wouldn't he?

through steampunk technology. invent a little turkey robot friend. I love that. I remember that story. He wanted the turkey to be.

Can you? I'm so glad it's the eagle, but I did love his defense of the turkey. I mean, it's kind of like our valedictory or our salutatorium bird in a way. I mean, it really, I mean, it is.

So you have, so this is just to let everybody know where they can go. They can go to Salty Draws and they can check this out. It's, it's Silence Dugood, Time Travel Agent, one of the most prolific founding fathers. And I love, I love the concept of it. It's sort of like, well, let me ask you this, too.

Are you going to have a. Are you going to bring the other? Are you going to have maybe in the future? Is he going to ever be joined by some of the other founders? Are they ever going to find themselves in a similar position and have like a.

In the next issue, he's actually going to be on a boat behind George Washington as they cross the Delaware. There's going to be a lot of crossover, and a young Ben Franklin's going to meet a lot of people in American history. That's very cool. What do you hope that. people take away from this series.

What was your goal in doing this? I honestly, I just wanted to bring some Non-woke. And pro Masculine pro-America entertainment that isn't lecturing or preaching. It's just telling because there's so many good stories in our history, and then there's a story happening now in our history. And I just want to bring that to people in a fun, entertaining way.

We're talking with Sean Salter. Salty Draws is the website, Silence, Do Good Time Travel Agent. I love that you're bringing back the whimsical nature of telling stories because that's what ultimately hooks people in. And then you get them with everything else, you get them with the rest of the content. And I worry about.

Kids today. I feel like we had it because we're Gen X. I feel like we had it. We just, we live in the best. Time ever.

We grew up in the best time because we had just enough technology. Like the internet was going when I was in high school, like we had email and all that, but we didn't really have like social media and none of that stuff. And I'm so glad we didn't have any of that. And I, I, we had the best of all of the worlds, just enough of everything. Right.

And now it's, I feel like everything's been ruined. Everything is so sanitized. It's soulless. What is that going to do to the imagination of kids? Like, how does that, I know that affects development.

I'm sure there's psychological arguments for how that affects development. But as an artist, how does that concern you? Because this also impacts the future of what you do and who comes after you.

Well, I've always looked at technology as a tool. I think the bigger enemy of a child's imagination is the modern day professional educator. That is the murderer of a child's imagination. And I think that's the issue that we have to worry about. Like everything's a tool at the end of the day, and it's how we use it.

And it really is those morals and those values that we put into children when they're young that. Actually, allow them to have that imagination, but public education and even private education is murdering children's imaginations. And where kids learn and grow the most is at play. And that's really what I'd love to bring. Backed.

Yeah. to for kids it's just like let's have let's learn through play let's learn through fun not you know, it's just it's so Top down and not working. I agree with you so much. I totally agree with you. And we just, we don't allow any time for that.

And everything is just, and also, people are afraid to freely be creative. I mean, you know, this is a creator. I mean, I don't want to tell everybody where you worked. I mean, that's, you know, but you, I mean, you worked at, it's making headlines. Let's just say you worked with an entity that's making a lot of headlines right now.

Yes, I did. And all of that is how, if you cannot. Be free to express what's going on in your head in an artistic way. How are you actually? I mean, are you really fully creating art?

Are you really fully engaging? And that has to be incredibly difficult. I mean, Andrew Clavin says it best: if you can't live your truest self and just be who you are, your soul dies. A little bit of you dies inside, and that part is the creative part. And that's what Hollywood is doing to so many creatives: they have to fit this.

little Mold. And it's killing and murdering. Creativity. And so that's why films like The New Willy Wonka has no magic. They have all the special effects and it looks so cool.

And then you watch it and you're just like, you feel dead inside because. the people that are creating it are kind of dead inside. Oh, that's a good way to put it. Yeah, that's why, I mean, everything seems... like fake wannabe like great value.

Whimsy and fun, and it's not. It's just so stale and awful. We need more stuff like this.

So, this is awesome. Salty Draws is the website. Now, people can pre-order because you're in the middle of it, it's all being created now. Uh, the 13, the 13-issue series that you can people can go see the teaser video, you can go read, uh, see some of the panels, read, learn more about the characters, see the story. But I highly encourage everyone to go check it out because it's such a good concept.

Uh, and it's so whimsical, and it really, I just, it's very nostalgic for me to look at a lot of this stuff because I'm like, this is how it's supposed to be. Like, there's, God love you for being Gen X, Sean Salter, my good friend. Always so good to see you. And this is cool. Very, very cool.

Thank you so much, Dana. It's good to see you too. Of course. Take care. We'll talk again soon.

Bye. Salty Draws is the website. You can go and check it out. And we have. Uh I mean, it's a great series, and it's so not woke.

I just, I didn't want to tell everybody where he worked at, but he totally worked in Hollywood. Very prolific artist in Hollywood. And it was killing him to work out there just because they, as he was saying, and he kind of alluded to, I mean, you don't have the freedom to be expressive and creative, and everything has to be DEI and CRT and all this stuff. I can't draw to save my life, but I honestly feel like, I mean, I think those people are really hurt first and the worst. I honestly do believe that.

But Hakeem Jeffries says about it. the National Defense Authorization Act. is that it is woefully irresponsible.

that extreme MAGA Republicans have hijacked A bipartisan bill. That is essential to our national security. Oh, my God. This guy.

Well, then, why did they clutter it up with all this DEI stuff and trans surgeries and everything else? Like, why did you do that then? Folks, that does it for us tonight. Have a wonderful weekend. Sign up for the newsletter over at Substack Chapter in Verse.
