Wednesday February 7 - Full Show

Republicans have to act. But in those three years, it is true that Republicans have gotten in the way. They just have, Peter. They have consistently used immigration, the immigration system, the broken system, as a political stunt. That's what they've done.

They've gotten in the way in trying to get more Border Patrol agents. They've gotten in the way in actually trying to fix what's happening, the challenges at the border. They did.

So I mean they voted they've actually voted for years no response it has I'm not saying that Democrats have not been in control the first two years. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying House Republicans have gotten in the way. They have. They have purposefully gotten in the way in trying to fix what's happening at the border.

Yeah.

Well, they okay, so my question is they weren't the ones who in the first week issued How many executive orders was it? Like five or six specifically related to immigration alone. where they repealed or undid, since it's an executive order. uh the remain in mexico policy, the interior enforcement policy, a whole bunch of other things as well. I mean, they they i Democrats through Joe Biden that first that very, very first Weak.

had a plethora. an absolute plethora of Executive orders that completely undid a lot of the stuff that It was working actually, or wa was at least helping with the Deluge at the border. And then so you can't It's not really fair to say that Republicans were in the way. Republicans. They didn't do that.

So welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you. That's the only thing I'll defend them on right now, because I'm. Pretty aggravated, and I've been aggravated since. Yesterday, when I saw everything, it kind of went the way that you thought it would.

Everything from the standalone border with regards to Israel. uh etcetera it's uh Uh Just a mess. Just a mess. We're going to get into all of it because all of this is. Is going to affect everything coming up, obviously, in 24.

So let's just get right into it. Again, welcome to the program, Dana Lash, with you. I hope you signed up for the newsletter. A lot of stuff came out. There's another piece from Lorraine that's coming out here shortly about all of this as well.

But it's going to be with you. You can listen coast to coast across the country. You can stream the radio program, all that good stuff. Find the video, the Simulcast Channel 347, DirecTV. Also, so let's just jump right into it because this is what I've been livid about, still angry about.

I was talking to a couple of friends about this as well. About this, this entire time is what happened yesterday.

So, if you were watching, they failed to not only Uh impeach. Alejandro Maorkis, because you had four. It was four, and I realized on the screenshot or one of the links that I have, it showed that it was three at the time it was updated because you had another individual change their votes at the last minute to be a yes vote. But uh Or no vote rather on Majorcus. It's just a mess.

I mean this is You have this situation with Majorkis out of all of the times to impeach this guy for not doing his job. This would have been the time to do it. This would have been the time to do it. And then you have the border bill. Which, because you had three, it wasn't just two losses, it was three losses.

that Republicans had yesterday.

So you had the border bill that Republicans still have failed to handle the messaging on. In addition to that, you also had the standalone bill with Israel. They, at least, I will say, they at least sent it to the floor and waited for Democrats to vote that down.

So, Democrats are on record about that. And then you had the Majorca impeachment.

So, let's start with the border bill because there was a sheriff's association as well. And I'm going to pull this up because this was something that was important. Yesterday, we had the Border Patrol. That came out and said that they liked the one specific aspect of it. But then you had a group of sheriffs that came out and condemned.

This bill said that you shouldn't even be negotiating this border bill. It's ridiculous.

So, good for them on that. Here's the problem, and I said this yesterday: the very first fatal error that Republicans accepted as serious. Is was the argument that you have to have more laws to enforce the existing law at the border because you don't need to move to the amendment stage because this entire premise is a non-starter.

So That was the first error. And every They immediately shot themselves in their foot. We went over all of this yesterday, but then on top of it, They still yesterday failed to get the upper hand on messaging. Then they compounded the optics with the failed impeachment vote.

Now did you hear Ronna McDaniels she's announced she's stepping down after the South Carolina primary. Good Lord, put a hand over my mouth right now. You know, you could have stepped down after all those losses we started racking up after 2016. You know, we could have been, you know, could have been doing it. started uh stepping down since then.

But uh As I wrote in my piece that you got this morning, the Republican Party is a symphony of idiots right now.

So you have the situation with the border bill, the Majorkis impeachment, the broke Republican Party, not just nationally, but state by state. And the fundraising I we're not even getting into that The back and forth arguing as to who's going to be our NC chair, but apparently the story is that Ronna McDaniel said that she was stopping down. from the South Carolina primary. After the South Carolina primary. That was what was reported.

I think it came out from Politico. I think that reported it.

So This Is just the worst timing. I think I've ever seen. They're really good on that. They're really good at picking the most ridiculous timing to do this kind of stuff.

So, like we said. With the border bill. And then the Mayorkis impeachment. Mayorkis impeachment just fell apart. They had four Republicans that voted with Democrats.

And decided that they weren't going to progress this bill. Oh, and then I don't even let me forget the Anheuser-Busch stuff.

So they had the impeachment of DHS Secretary Marikus failed. Uh the Republican votes, you had four of them. Uh Scalize was absent. He's uh his cancer, his ongoing cancer treatments. They uh wheeled one Democrat in in hospital scrubs, fresh out of surgery, so that he could cast his vote and uh make it to where there there wasn't even close to a tie.

So there you have it.

So they they they kind they really foobarred that.

So they had in the span of a singular hour, 60 minutes, in the span of 60 minutes. You Had two major votes in the Republican House. on two huge issues. And in si within sixty minutes They had double losses. Sixty minutes they had double losses.

Maybe they're gonna have another hey, doesn't it sound like this is the time to have another speaker fight? Good time to have another speaker fight, right guys? Go ahead and get somebody even with less political capital than the guy that has less political capital than the guy that you ousted. I mean I I I I don't I don't I'm just ch I don't know. The flip the mayor is thing though.

The This has been I hope you realize that the Majorkis fight has always been about the border and the administration. It's been one of the best ways that Republicans have been able to, as a congressional body, for the lack of a better way to put it, prosecute. The lack of enforcement at the border, and that's what this has always been. But for them to, I mean, it's. And it's all like, I get it, it's all performative theater because it's not going to go anywhere in the Senate, but it does something.

It pushes something, it gets Republicans on the record with something. And At least if you're impeaching the guy, it's much more than this stupid performative, well, we resolve, you know, one of those stupid resolutions that don't do anything. And it also shows that lawmakers in the House are hearing the electorate, they're hearing voters who are disaffected by everything that they've been seeing at the border. But the problem with this is that it showed the absolute disaster that is House leadership. Mike Johnson is a nice guy, but nice guys don't mean anything when it comes to getting the job done as Speaker.

He does not have the political capital to be speaker. Mike Johnson is a nice guy. We know some mutual people. Never met him. I have nothing bad to say about him, as I've never, like I said, I've never met him.

He's he, you, you have to be a ball breaker. to be speaker. And then you also have to be two one part ball breaker and one part super sweet. You got to be out you got to be a fundraiser. You got to be everything to everybody and you got to be able to manipulate people to do what you want to do in order to shepherd stuff through the house.

And Mike Johnson can't do it. He is not the guy to do it.

So, this speaker fight, remember when people were getting mad at me because I said this is going to be a disaster and not because I was a fan of Kevin McCarthy? I'm literally originally one of the people who did not like Kevin McCarthy from the get-go, back when he wrote the Young Guns book. But all of these cats who were on mommy and daddy's teat in the public sector or doing grunt work at their family business instead of getting experience anywhere else and going to Ivy League universities and waiting for seats to open up so they could buy them, whether they were on 30A or somewhere else. All of these people, who are actually even older than me, by the way, and had less skin in the game, less record, less conservatism, less sacrifice for the movement, were up in arms. And I was criticizing their theatrical performance because they were doing this as a grudge match against McCarthy because they were mad that he was allowing this investigate that this ethics investigation, which is continuing to continue against Matt Gates.

Oh, they were so mad. But my whole point was, you're going to get something like this. And you better damn believe I'm going to say, yes, I told you. I told everybody this was going to happen. This is what happens when you get a guy who's not used to this position.

Being Speaker of the House. is more than just a title. You gotta have a particular skill set to do this job. Johnson don't got it, folks. And we're going to have more losses.

This is one of the reasons that we had this loss yesterday. I mean, we would not have if you had a more. Powerful. And look, by this, you need to also realize what I'm saying. You're never going to get a hardcore conservative in this job.

Because you don't have enough hardcore conservatives in the House. It is a reflection of the electorate. If you want a hardcore conservative speaker, you better be electing more hardcore conservatives to the House, and it can't be the same group of welfare activists that travel from State to State to do everybody's job for them. That means everybody's got to get off their sweet keesters. and throw in.

Oh, I know you're not supposed to electure the voters. You're supposed to treat them like babies.

Well, that's what big government does. I don't do that.

So this is the problem. He doesn't have the political capital to do it. He's JV. He's on the JV squad. I'm not being ignorant, that's just the way it is.

Guys who are aggressive, who got the political capital and can do it, you wouldn't have lost four votes. You wouldn't have. You would not have lost four votes. And it wasn't just one time within 60 minutes, it was two times within 60 minutes that we had this. And I mean He lost 14 Republicans.

Fourteen Republicans. I mean, granted, like when they were doing the border bill. They were trying to do the standalone bill, foreign aid bill for Israel, right? They didn't want to have these two issues in this one mashup, and I get it. And the standalone bill did have some bipartisan support.

They brought it directly to the floor. It didn't go through the rules committee to do it. I get it, I get it. But he lost 14 Republicans.

So we have a major problem. We have a f uh uh a rudderless party. It's just a bunch of flotsum bobbing in the wind. We have weak leadership in the House. And we're losing on very obvious things that we should be winning on.

To say nothing about the state party or the state by state parties being broke, the national party being broke. This is stuff I was warning you about, so we got to have a conversation about this. Because this is when the time gets tough. And if we don't fix it now, guys, it's going to be a bloodbath in November. And I'm just telling you what I see.

So we got to have this conversation. We're going to get into some of the cultural issues. We got a whole bunch of stuff. The Bud Light is literal gender fluid. Can we have that conversation coming up?

Yeah, we are. We're gonna. Partners that I'll bring you free radio. It's our friends at Keltech, the sub 2K. There's a new Gen 3 out.

I have the previous one, the Gen 2. The Gen 3, this is a 9mm carbine. This is an incredibly innovative, just an awesome, awesome 9mm, and it twists. I mean, it's like Gunorigami. It folds in half.

Like with the one that I have right now, the Gen 2, I have to take my optics off if I want to fold it in half. But with the new Gen 3, you don't have to do that. It's the simple twist and fold motion of the patent pending, rotating forend in either direction, fold it right in half, optics and all. And just as quickly and easily deploys. Still, optics and all.

But there's also other things that they've redesigned, like the upgraded aluminum trigger, the trigger mechanics. You get a lightened five-pound trigger pool, get more precise feedback. You got just a clean, isolated pool, improved accuracy for follow-up, upgraded action. There's even a new chamber indicator. You also have, like I said, I like how everything can stay on.

I don't have to spend the time taking stuff off the rails and then folding it up. It's just very cool. The Gen 3, Sub 2K, made in America by Keltech, family-owned. Very cool. You have to check it out.

The Sub 2K, it looks like Sub 2000 on the website. Gen 3, you can find it at Keltechweapons.com. That's K-E-L-T-E-C weapons.com. Tell them that Dana sent you. Does our border have turnstiles and velvet ropes?

Some Republicans are touting a bill with a limit of 5,000 migrants per day. That's still 1.8 million per year. An amusement park doesn't let more people in when it hits capacity. Check out the Watchdog on La Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So apparently Mushrooms, mushroom busts are rising because psychedelics are gaining favor. There's some actually really interesting studies about their treatment of PTSD and all of that stuff as it relates to vets that is actually quite interesting, like medicinally. You're not talking about drug addicts or anything like that. It's very, it's the, what is psilocybin, isn't that? That's the main psychoactive component.

Anyway, apparently the use of it recreationally has increased. And then the seizing of that and these busts of these shrooms, they said that in 2022, they had over 1,396. I didn't realize it was that crazy. That there were that many seizures of it. I just never really paid attention to it.

I mean, I'm not. I don't really watch the whole thing. I don't watch all this stuff, but not everything. But yeah, they said that between. That people over the age of 12, 11.3% of people age 12 and over are reported to having used it in 2022.

The psilocybin. That's interesting. Because they have been doing these drug trials. I have a friend that's involved, a veteran, who's involved in advocating its usage in controlled environments for veterans coming back from combat. It's very, very interesting stuff.

So, a. In Britain, I can't believe that they were allowed to do this because one of my favorite hobbies is watching the real estate battles in Britain because they're so ridiculous. They have so many regulations and restrictions. It is like a soap opera. It is real life.

There's multiple stories every single day. And this is one of them.

So residents are infuriated because somehow a 60-foot-high warehouse was able to be built right behind these like picturesque houses. And they realize this is, they realize that, oh, we made a mistake because we consulted the wrong street.

So imagine you have your regular subdivision, but then right behind your subdivision, you have a giant like Amazon-like warehouse that literally butts right up against your backyard. And it's metal framed, and it is absolutely crazy. And it's actually, they also, I read another piece, I think it was in the Telegraph, where they said that it actually cast a shadow throughout the entire afternoon on the back of their houses.

So it's very interesting that, oh, let's see. A man was almost licked to death. By his pet Chihuahua. This is disgusting. Yeah, because they bit like a bacteria apparently.

The guy was hospitalized, 71 years old. He had to have an oxygen mask. He caught a rare bug from being licked by his dog.

So, you know, maybe just be careful. I don't know. And a man bites off and spits out part of an officer's finger during an arrest in Denver. I'm sure he wasn't under any kind of, oh, wait, yeah, he was, according to the affidavit. Stay with us.

Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show. On impeachment, I mean, what happened yesterday with the vote on Secretary Mayorkis? Why bring that to the floor if you didn't have the votes? And will you hold another vote to impeach him? Yeah, on impeachment, last night was a setback, but democracy is messy.

We live in a time of divided government. We have a razor-thin margin here, and every vote counts.

Sometimes when you're counting votes and people show up when they're not expected to be in the building, it changes the equation. But listen, we have a duty and a responsibility to take care of this issue. We have to hold the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security accountable. Mayorkis needs to be held accountable. The Biden administration needs to be held accountable, and we will pass those articles of impeachment.

We'll do it on the next round.

So they're going to try for a number two for the love. I think if you're going to run and try to do it again, make sure that you don't lose four votes. You can't lose four votes. Look, Johnson's a nice guy, but this isn't about nice guys. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here, with you.

Always good to be with you bottom of this first hour. and who my It's not about nice guys. It's about there's a specific job that's got to get done. Can you do it? That's what this is about.

And he He doesn't have a lot of political capital. The Republican leadership is an absolute flipping mess. It is a mess right now. We had two huge losses that shouldn't have been losses in the span of one hour last night. That's not to say anything about the state of the finances of the party.

They got 8 million cash on hand. Do you know how much Biden and Democrats have? two hundred ninety three million dollars. 8 million cash on hand. I'm not joking.

It was a lot of the reporting from Jen Van Law that we've had on, that we had on last, what was it, last week? Yeah.

that talked about the state of RC finances. This matters because they're the ones who do a lot of the national strategy, but they've been completely rudderless as of late, which is interesting now that after that reporting. That came out from Red State.

Now, excuse me, it looks like. Ronna McDaniel is going to be stepping down. They had the chief of staff, RNC chief of staff, who stepped down. That announcement came yesterday.

Now it looks like Ronna McDaniel is going to resign after the South Carolina primary. The New York Times reported this last night. I was hearing this from people before the New York Times story. And I'm like, I'm going to wait and see, because this also could be like a move to try to push her out. But she apparently said she's stepping down shortly after the South Carolina primary.

And apparently they said That uh It might be Michael Watley as the interim replacement of the North Carolina Republican Party. Trump picked Ronna McDaniel and backed her hardcore to get the seat. He's backing Michael Watley, although he can't just pick somebody. They have to have an election for the speaker. Look, I'm going to tell you, I've known Trump for over 10 years.

I like him personally. I think he makes some very questionable choices when it comes to personnel. And you guys know this is right. I don't care how much you love him. I don't care if you got his face tattooed on your backside, A la Roger Stone.

I don't care.

Some of his personal questions leave a lot to be desired. And so The R and C's. Disaster is spending, the absence of any kind of national strategy.

So they're doing this. This is happening in an election year. The head of the RNC is stepping down. The party's been kind of rudderless. There's no top-down strategy.

Previously, say what you will about a lot of these cats, but at least they were getting everybody on the same page when it came to pushing for narratives about the border or about funding for Ukraine, et cetera. At least they you know, at least they would mostly get on the same page. But now it's a mess. Everybody's ever everybody's out for themselves. They're all looking for everything.

Democrats are staying together like the Borg. Who did they wheel in? They wheeled in What's His Face? I have the story. They wheeled in the dude.

last night. He apparently had uh surgery. to uh go and vote. Oh, Al Green. Yeah, Al Green literally had had surgery.

They wheeled him in. From his hospital bed, still wearing his tanned medical socks and scrubs. Yeah.

Wield him in. He's got a ponytail. They wheel him in. They're serious. Democrats did that because they're serious about winning.

It's not enough to have an ideology. It's not enough to have the product. You gotta have the marketing and the distribution for the product. Republicans always forget this part. They're like, well, here's our product.

It's freedom. Freedom's great. Love freedom. Lower taxes? Yeah.

Who doesn't love lower taxes, right? Limited government for most of them? Yeah.

Who doesn't love that? But then they throw it out there and they're like, Okay, here it is. Bye Then they don't tell you nothing about it. They don't message it. They don't push it.

Democrats are out there. My gosh, they act like it's a new Taylor Swift album. When they come out with something, they're out there all over the place with this. And they're all in step.

Now that's not That is not a difference of alpha and beta. Because I do think that some of the Difficulties at the right experiences come down to the types of people and personalities that are attracted. You just got more people who like to behan solo than not. But this is about discipline and just being smart. I mean, strategy is smart.

That's something smart people do. I mean the moment, the moment, the moment. They went out there and they're like, we're going to, right before the election kicks off, we're going to switch out our speaker of the house. We have no replacement at all. None Oh my gosh, all these people, Bootlick and Matt Gates, were so mad at me.

Oh, yeah, I said it, but they were mad at me. And I'm like, I don't care about Kev McCarthy. I'm worried about the timing of this.

Now you see why. They had a rush to find a replacement. A guy who wasn't ready. And again, I'm not saying this to be mean about Mike Johnson. I know some of y'all out there like him.

I'm not being mean about it, but we got to be honest about these things.

So Ronald McDaniel's stepping down. Matt Gates has suggested Kevin McCarthy. I think he's still on a vengeance tour. He's mad. The history between Gates and McCarthy is that there's an ethics investigation still ongoing into Matt Gaits, and Matt Gaetz had demanded that Kevin McCarthy stop it.

Kevin McCarthy declined, and so Matt Gaetz went on the rampage against him. That's what happened. That's why all of this stuff happened the way it did, because Matt Gaetz accused Kevin McCarthy of not stopping the ethics investigation, held him responsible, and wanted and was out for blood. That's why this happened. That's the whole reason why this happened.

And so Now we have this mess. And then in the h and then in the R and C.

So the uh she's stepping down. Kevin McCarthy was suggested by Gates last night as a possible replacement. I mean, it wouldn't be bad, but. I just don't think that that's uh I don't think that's it. I don't think that's the I I just don't know if that's the way to go.

Because This, I mean, he can fundraise, and that's a huge part of it. You got to be out to fundraise. You got to. Uh Yeah. you you gotta be able to go and and and and do this and then twist arms and all that stuff.

I mean McCarthy And the it's not that wouldn't be a huge stretch for him. But uh Watley got endorsed already for for for co-chair, so we'll see. We'll see how it goes because they got to have that vote for that replacement. All right, can we talk about Bud Light? Bud Light is literal gender fluid.

It is. I wrote about this uh back in April. And I was tweeting about this some last night. Because it came out. This is another problem I got.

Republicans run away from actual serious wins. It was a win. The Disney thing was a win. Because you had a big company that was receiving Unfair cronious tax exemptions. That nobody else was receiving.

And They got they tried to get all they tried to big time in Florida against parents and they got in trouble. And then you had Bud Light. that trotted out a dude. and condescended to women. And men all over the nation very chivalrously.

stood up for the ladies, which was kinda hot. They stood up for the ladies. And women stood up for themselves too. And now it's like, I don't know, people are kind of walking back on Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch. They're walking back on it?

So, I get it that they got a UFC deal. They're trying to do some.

some damage control desperately.

So they have this multi-million dollar Um Deal with UFC. They're doing a big seven million dollar commercial for. Super Bowl, and they got what, Peyton Manning, they got Dana White, they got a whole bunch of people in it. Excuse me. And They the Trump came out last night.

I disagree with him on this. He said that the Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions and that for a very big price was paid. But Anheuser-Busch is not a woke company. I can give you plenty that are. And building a list.

I might release it for the world to see. And he goes, Anheuser-Busch, blah, blah, blah, talks about what they what they do that he thinks is great. And he goes, maybe we should be going after the woe companies that are looking to destroy America. I do think that if you're going to defend a company that's been in a lot of hot water, you need to disclose that you've got millions of dollars of stock in them. That's all public information.

I'm not saying anything that anybody should know. Uh but no. All they had to do, the simplest thing that they could have done, and this is biblical. is apologize because don't demand reconciliation without acknowledgement of wrong. Scripture doesn't even provide for that.

Uh They never, all women ever wanted was for them to say, you know what, we messed up. We're sorry, ladies. That's it. This isn't difficult. Why do people act like this?

It's so hard. You don't gotta spend $7 million. On an ad? You don't got to do all this stuff. all they had to do was say, Hey, We're sorry, ladies, that's it.

But they didn't do it. For whatever reason, they cannot bring themselves to say they're sorry. To acknowledge beyond just kind of a shrug. I don't care who Anheuser-Busch puts in their ads. I don't care how much stock is owned by whatever politician Ananheuser Busch.

The easiest and the cheapest thing they could have done was to apologize. A simple move that acknowledges wrong. There is no reconciliation without this initiative. None. People can go ahead and they can say, oh, enough time has passed, man.

This is like runnin' towards the L's, man, runnin' towards em. I wrote about this, like I said, back in April. Because this is it's just goofy. Budweiser doesn't get a pass. They don't get a pass.

Women are far wor are worth far more than how much stock you got in their company. They're worth far more than what kind of contract they can pay for UFC. They're worth far more than the $7 million that they're paying for a Super Bowl ad. The companies donated fairly equally to both. In 2020, they donated more to Biden than Trump.

And This Was all made out to make it like, oh, this was the right pushing this. We didn't ask for this. We didn't ask to pick a fight with Anheuser-Busch. Women were minding our own damn business when this beer company came out with a dude. Cosplaying as a chick That's not our issue, so don't tell us to get over it now.

We weren't the ones that made issue of it. But we are going to be the ones that fight this stuff. It is the. equivalent to it's it's like codifying this stuff in status quo. And that should not happen.

The erasure of women should not be cemented as part of the status quo. People have lost their jobs over this. Women have been relegated to the bench. There's a story about Uh, I had a volleyball story where five of the players on the court were dudes masquerading as chicks, and the women varsity players were sitting on the bench. Women are this is becoming a huge thing.

They're being subjected to bullying and intimidation. I had a member of my own family when she was in high school. And this was in Jefferson County, Missouri. An eighteen year old male, while she was a sophomore in high school was demanding to change in the locker rooms that she changes in for sports. an eighteen year old male who was six foot two.

And our family member was what supposed to change in front of him? And she was called a bigot if she felt uncomfortable? It's hard enough for young women out there without that kind of pressure. The pressure that's being Essentially codified into the status quo with big contracts and UFC. and having former presidents defend them because they got stock in the company?

Are you kidding me? I see these people speaking out more for this damn company than I do all of these women across the country and men. That have been disproportionately harmed by this stuff. Imagine if you went out with the same energy speaking up for all these girls who had to sit here and rush into the public bathrooms at school and change because their locker rooms were no longer safe for them because they had six foot two, eighteen year old dudes changing in there who wanted to LARP as a chick for the day. I wish people spoke out as much for them.

Or, what about Riley Gaines when they were making fun of her because she tied with a dude in one race? Say now she must not be that great after all. What about the female surfer? That came out what was the event that she came out at? And um They had a bunch of trans activists.

It was at O'Reilly Gaines event. Bethany Hamilton, thirty three years old, she survived a shark attack. She lost an arm. Trans ath trans activists came out to an event she was at with stuffed sharks to make fun of her. This just happened within the week.

Imagine if these politicians And these business dudes spoke out as much for people Like Bethany Hamilton, as they do for their precious bros at Anheuser-Busch. It's piss baby beer. That's what you're drinking. You wanna go on record defending that? That's what you're gonna defend?

You know what? It's the LiCroix of beers. It's they throw a Guinness through it. And then they take the water and they call a Budweiser. You're defending that?

Harder than you're defending these ladies? It's like you don't ever want to get laid again, dudes. What's happening with you? When emergencies strike, the last thing you want to worry about is where your next meal comes from. That's where Wise Food Storage comes in.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. He talked about like sands through the album. the actual consequences at the border itself. if this bipartisan agreement doesn't proceed and is it the administration's position that if it doesn't pass that the border is not secure from national so I mean look this is stuff that the president has talked about before I mean look there are challenges at the border You all report that. We see that.

It gets overwhelmed at the border.

So this is why the first day of his administration, the president put forth a comprehensive immigration policy. What? He tore down policies. Yeah, okay.

Well, you know. Oh, my gosh He created these he it wasn't a policy, it was a bunch of executive orders you Absolute Muppet. That's what it was. It was a bunch of executive orders. By the way, this is why you can't do things by executive order.

You have to be a leader and actually shepherd them through the legislative process in Congress. Because if you do something with an executive order, it can be undone with another executive order in the administration coming after yours.

So coming up. All the it's a hot mess. Let's make fun of people so that we can be in better moods because of their stupidity. Stick with me. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative cell phone service, and they are standing they stand behind their service and their values as a company.

Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know. that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump. and his MAGA Republican France. It's time for Republicans in the Congress to show a little courage. to show a little spine.

I don't understand what this has to do with Trump because He didn't undo these executive orders. This is my bit.

Okay, first off, welcome back to the show. Top of the second hour, Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast. I'm bound to say something that's either going to make you mad or cheer. Uh, so stay with it.

You don't even agree with your husband or wife on everything. Stop. Uh, but good to be with you. Listen coast to coast and on a station near you. Stream the radio program.

You can also uh watch the simulcast, the video component of the radio show. Uh, you can check that out as well on uh channel 347, direct TV, YouTube, Facebook. Good discussion at YouTube, always. And sign up for the newsletter over at Substack, Chapter and Verse. Lorraine's got a piece coming out here shortly.

So, this was one of my gripes. This was, and people were giving me a side eye when I made it. And this is why I made it. I wanted Trump to shepherd legislation through Congress and push for people to. Propose these bills and do it before there was any attempt at an executive order.

Because if you do executive orders, like with the tax cuts, it's one of the reasons why we don't have permanent tax cuts. And one of the reasons why all of the stuff of the border was undone. When you do everything with executive order, it can be undone with an executive order. And that's literally what Biden did day one of his administration. On day one, he, with an executive order, suspended the Remain in Mexico, a lot of the interior enforcement.

There's a whole bunch of things that he changed for huge aspects of immigration and border control. And that contributed to this huge problem that we see right now. And that's not a Trump, that was Biden that did it.

However, it would have been impossible for him to have done it. Had Republicans. actually pass something. They had, I mean, we had Republicans for four years.

Now, some say, but Dana, there was only a majority for two years. I don't accept excuses. Either you're a ball-breaking fighter or you're not. And two years controlling the House and Senate and White House is enough, guys. To get it done.

There's no excuse. Zero excuse. Why wasn't it done? Because of Will.

Some in the Republican Party don't want it done.

Some allowed themselves to get distracted. I mean, it's the same reason you could ask Democrats under Obama Biden when, and during the first half. First. The half of the first half of Barack Obama's first term, he had a super majority. Before a couple of special elections changed.

That makeup in the house, meaning they could have overridden every veto and done whatever they wanted to. And they didn't do it. It was weird. They didn't do the stuff that they said that they could have done by pushing Obamacare through faster. They could have done it.

I mean, there were a number of things that they didn't do. Republicans didn't have a super majority for the first two years of Trump's term, but they sure as hell had a majority. There's no excuse. I don't accept excuses from leaders. I don't accept any excuse.

You want to be a leader? Part of that job is you forfeit excuses. End of I don't, I don't, anything, accepting anything less is a weakness that makes my ovaries curl up and scream. I can't deal with it.

So I don't like it. I don't like it. It's a hallmark of weakness, and weakness is something that is so not hot. I just hate it. Uh anyway, that being said.

Uh Republicans should have, they should have done it.

So this isn't, this isn't. It's not a Trump issue. It's also an issue that, again, executive order. And it's an issue. You don't need to you don't need to pass certain laws to uh s say we have these laws.

We gotta enforce them. We have to do this. We have to. I mean, that was uh ki uh that was uh uh kind of the argument here.

Now One of the things that I'm gonna pull this up. This is one of my criticisms here. Uh where's Dan Crenshaw's piece? This is Audio Soundbite 7. He's misrepresenting HR2 here.

I don't dislike Dan. I disagree with him on some stuff pretty vehemently, and he's been on the program before, and we've disagreed. But I d I'm not I'm not gonna you know chuck them into a pile of Marxists. But he's just, you know. He's i if only everyone would agree with me, we'd have such a wonderful world, right?

But, you know, sadly, that's not the case. But this is, I think, a misrepresentation of HR2. Listen to this, Audio Summit 7. I understand some Republicans are saying we don't need any changes to law. Then why did we write HR2?

Why did we do that? Why didn't Trump just shut down the border if you just think we don't need any changes to lie? He couldn't. He had to make a deal with Mexico, and he did a great job doing that. But he had to rely on literally international agreements.

to get it under control. We do need changes a lot. You've got to change those loopholes in asylum. You got to raise the bar for asylum. You've got to make it very clear that there's no paroling.

So This, uh the issue with H one or with with uh H R two. is The reason why there's a misrepresentation there is this.

So, if you have, say, and I have friends that. Uh, are Hispanic Americans? They are Republicans, they are really into this issue, and I've had lots of conversations with them about it because they hate. You think you hate illegal immigration. Talk to somebody who stood in line for nine years.

to become a citizen of the country and did it the right way. And then measure how much you hate illegal immigration against how much they hate illegal immigration. The issue with this is that the H-1B visa holders. And a lot of the skilled workforce and chain migration. And this is one of the things that HR2 was actually looking as a first step.

To reform. Because when you have people who come here to the United States and they go to college here and they develop a skill and they go to work, and then a lot of times, you know, the time runs out and they have to go back to their home country and then wait a little bit before they're able to come back or obtain a work visa to come back. And they want to be Americans. They want to be citizens. They want to come here and vote Republican and pay taxes.

And oh my gosh, that's what we want. But it's it's almost Prohibitively made prohibitively difficult for them. Whereas you can literally say, Oh, I've got an uncle in Wyoming. Oh, you got a blood relative in Wyoming? Come on in.

There's a pathway for you. to become a legal citizen. It's a hell of a lot easier than the person who did everything right and has been jumping through the hoops for years. I have a number of friends who became American citizens, and I'm not kidding you, the shortest amount of time one of them ever had to wait was seven years. And that was only because they were in the medical field.

I think it would have been a lot longer. I have a friend who waited 13 years. And it's not just people who are coming from Mexico or coming from Venezuela or Colombia or Argentina. I have friends that came from Ireland, friends that came from the UK. It's crazy, friends that came from Spain.

It's weird, and they'll wait 10, 11, 12 years, and they do everything right.

So it's, it's, and, and these are high-skilled workers that you know they're going to come here and they're going to pay into the tax base and they're going to build something and add to that, add to the, the, the valuation of the United States and have families and raise little, little conservative voters. Oh my gosh, that's what you want. But instead we're going Oh You have a blood relative in New Mexico? Come on in. Know nothing about you.

Go ahead. Come on in. So that's one of the things that HR2 was actually gearing up because that's a huge thing that you have to, it has to be an incremental thing.

So he's, it's a little bit of a disingenuous misrepresentation, it's a misrepresentation of what HR2 was designed to do. There are actual problems with the system, and it's going to require an incremental. Continuous, relentless, incremental effort to change it. And it starts there. And that's one of the things that this was.

They, they, you know, you're not just going to hand out green card after green card, and you're not just going to ease work permit requirements for non-skilled work. You're not going to do any of that. Those are non-starters. And that's what Roy Congressman Roy, who wrote HR2, had said. This was designed to start for the people that you want coming here to make it a little less prohibitively ridiculous and untangle a lot of the bureaucracy and actually make it difficult for the people that you don't want to come here coming in illegally or doing the blood claim or you know what or just endless endless throwing it out like Mardi Gras Bides, work visas for lower skilled workers who or people who are coming in and immediately need to be on entitlements.

There needs to be a shift and that's what HR2 was designed to start incrementally looking at.

So that's a very disingenuous, it's a misrepresentation of what HR2 was. There are reforms that need to be made. But the way that they've been approaching it with this bill is not it. Just because something needs to be done, that is not enough of a reason to say, oh, well, we have to pass a new bill, even if it's a bad bill. No, a bad bill is a bad bill.

What are how high are you? How many of these people in DC are hitting C Hunter's Rock? I got a lot of questions about that. How many of them do are doing this? It's it's asinine.

So I'm just Yeah, major issues with this. issues with it. A couple of things because we got Super Bowl coming up this week, and they're not doing. He's what not doing a press conference or any kind of interview that they would normally do. They're also not doing a.

He's not doing a press conference. Germany's leaders coming in on Friday. Apparently, he's not doing a press conference there either. Usually, they would have. Um They sit with their world leaders and they do it.

This is audio 7x5. KJP is trying to explain why he's at least. Skipping the Super Bowl one. This is weird. Anything specifically on why you're not doing the Super Bowl interview?

I mean that's a massive audience in an election year of people who may not be tuned into this White House or this election at this moment.

So look, as you know, Super Bowl is a great annual tradition and the President certainly, President Biden looks forward to watching the game this Sunday just like millions of, as you just stated, just like millions of Americans are going to be doing that. And look, you know, we hope that the viewers who tuned in, you know, we know that the viewers who tuned in, they come to tune in to watch the game, right? And so obviously, you know, that is That is just a fact. They want to see the game. They want to see their favorite team.

They want to see a halftime show. That is what the super. It's that type of tradition. The president will find many other ways to communicate with Americans, the millions of Americans out there, and we will find those ways to do it where we think the time is right. That's a cop out.

You know it, that's a cop out. That's an excuse. Just a total excuse. That's all it is.

So, coming up. Uh this was an interesting story that I saw. That had to do with the tensions in the Red Sea because of Iran and the militia they backed the Houthis there in Yemen.

So you know how it's been very, very it's gotten a lot more expensive. And I've got some some headlines that support this. A lot more expensive for shipping, et cetera, going through the Red Sea. That's a major I mean, it's a major hub of activity.

Well, Chinese ships. They're actually getting an insurance edge. They're getting discounts on insurance. Because the Houthis They've said they're not going to attack Chinese and Russian vessels. And so Chinese vessels are actually getting they're getting a boon out of this because they're being protected by the Houthis.

This is all very interesting. We're going to talk about this here and a whole bunch of other stuff coming up as we get moving. As we move, our partners that help bring you. Uh, free radio, and we're happy that they do. We're happy that they do what they do.

Uh, Goldco, this is a uh uh a precious metals entity. Which I highly suggest you check out because it can seem confusing when you're looking for a precious metals company that you can trust.

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

So the FAA is warning against Congress hiking the airline pilot retirement age. Yeah, I think that might be a good idea, actually, to not do that. I don't want somebody like Biden flying my plane.

Okay. I'm sorry, I don't. Actually, I'm not sorry. I don't. It's my life.

Suckers, I won't want that. No.

So they say, no, maybe don't do that. Doctors are beginning to ration penicillin to curb syphilis because people can't stop being whores. It's rates of STDs hit a 70-year high, and that's the reason why. Like, you're all nasty and you're all doing nasty stuff with nasty people. Stop being nasty.

It's very simple. Very simple fix. And then you don't got to ration penicillin anymore. A faulty door panel on an Alaska Airlines flight had no bolts installed, says NTSB in a preliminary report. Yeah, no bolts.

Not even N bolt, not one. And then the door plug blew right the heck off. That was according to the preliminary findings released. Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board. They sent a picture of the plane in a factory that was revealed: the total lack of bolts.

How do you miss that? We gotta start upcharging for bolts now. I mean, really? They do for legroom. Yes, that's our would you like a plane with bolts or no bolts?

Do you want a 50-year-old man named Steve flying your plane or a 25-year-old pilot named Tiffany with an eye? What do you want? It's an upcharge for Steve. If you want Steve and Bolt, that's going to be $150 fee extra. Mm.

not including extra legroom. I wouldn't doubt it. Like, come on, with the bolts, which, okay, this brings me to my whole other point. I'm going to touch on this coming up later. An airline in Finnair, Finland's flagship airline, they're going to start weighing passengers to calculate flight balance.

Are there fat people in Finland? I'm asking the questions that come into your mind, but you're terrified to ask. I'm asking them. Because for real, I'm like thinking about it, and I'm like. Why do they need to do that?

Aren't all the Norwegian people like tall and alien-like? Physics. I don't know. I mean, just it's, you know, you don't need two seats. Let's see here.

The, oh, here's, we're gonna talk about this also. Five transgender students dominated a volleyball court at a women's college varsity game, and the biological females. were kicked all the way down the bench. I mean, they look like dudes. Just because you got long hair and you can put some gloss on doesn't mean that you don't look like a dude.

We can see, I mean, clearly, there's more than that, just volleyball on the court. There's a lot of balls on that court. We get it. That doesn't mean you're a jacket. It is mad.

That's correct. Let's see. McDonald's CEO promises affordability because people got mad over an $18 Big Mac and $6 hash browns.

So people who probably voted for Joe Biden are mad that Joe Biden's policies made their Big Mac cost $18 and their hash browns cost $6. Wow, it's almost like someone should have told you. that that would have happened. There you go. And apparently, the world's biggest goldfish was caught in a suburban lake.

It was a giant, they get huge, the goldfish do. It was a hundred-pound, like a huge, giant goldfish. Stick with us, more in store.

Yeah, well, I've said this before. It's like it's time for the GOP to get their balls out of Trump's desk and stand for border security because they've been yelling for it for months and that's where I'm at with it. Do their job. All right, so Fetterman's he now don't be in danger in your hoodie pass now. I was like, I'm not going to criticize him because he was, you know, kind of being based on some stuff with the hoodie.

I'm not gonna he can wear the hoodie. I'm not gonna get, you know, but. Yeah, I'm telling ya. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash here at Bottom of This Second Hour.

That's the narrative that they want. They're trying to act like that um This is. They're trying to act like this is somehow. All Trump's fault? And That It's, um He's directing all of this, and they're doing it so that they can boost Biden in the general, but it's not.

Trump. I mean, Trump is Look, if you're being honest about it. In 2018, there was that amnesty bill that he backed. It was that Paul Ryan thing. And then he's this was something, this was a bill that was written by Langford.

It was somebody that he had endorsed. But he wasn't calling people and demanding that they he didn't get involved in this fight until. And kind of towards the conclusion of it, So that's kind of unfair, but they are trying to paint this out as it being like a, they're trying to have Biden run against Trump without having Biden run against Trump. is what it is. They're trying to have it both ways here.

And at it's Just not. I don't think that that's going to work. But Republicans are foo-barring up. It's true. whole messaging.

How do you have an issue that you are such a leader on? That you're that you're winning on and then you're just you just Foo bar. How? The immigration thing at the border.

Now it's, oh, it's the Republicans that don't want to pass anything and Republicans are out there just trying to, you know, figure, they're just fighting with each other. Um We um I'm going to switch gears here and look at the story that I had. I'm going to pull this up. This uh Did you see the story of these five? Transgender students.

absolutely dominating a volleyball court. During a college. Varsity game. and all of the biological females We're we're relegated to the bench. They were all on the bench.

I don't know if you guys saw the story. It's pretty unbelievable. Uh These I mean, these they look like I mean, I'm being real, they look like dudes. And I don't know if you've seen any of the video of them spiking the balls and all of this. Oh my gosh, they're so we're gonna get there the story.

I don't know. More than one way to spike a ball. They.

Okay. Yeah.

The video shows all the girls, the biological females, they took turns at warming the bench. All five dudes stayed on the court the entire time. They played the entire game every second. She sounds piteous.

Well, she's a guy, so. Yeah.

Well, she's a uh guy, I mean That's um yeah. You gotta turn my fare go up. Oh yeah. It's time. But They said they were seen smashing the oh man, they were seen smashing the ball past their female teammates.

They stayed each of them on the court for the entirety of the game. Where when only biological female players were substituted for other biological females on and off the bench. I mean, they're big dudes, too. They're dudes. They look like dudes.

They're the biggest ones on the court. And remember the one injury? It was in Ontario? Where they said they, the college's athletic association there, there was a chick who got hit in the face by a dude who slammed that ball into her head with such force. that she had to go to the hospital.

You you have Men athletes that are dominating in women's sporting events across the United States and Canada. We're just normal men. What do you mean, normal men? We're just innocent, man. I mean, it's.

They're just men. This is what I'm talking about. They said that it's Seneca College, the school with more trans players, they won the best of they won the best uh five series. And then when they had uh The Media was going to ask them some questions. They were rushing the players away from the media, the dudes away from the media, so they didn't have to.

They didn't have to answer any questions. I mean they they Uh They had six biological men playing in the OCAA. According to the source, Seneca and Centennial, those are the ones playing each other, were members. And Uh They I I mean that's They're they're dudes. It was basically a male volleyball game.

With men. cosplaying as dudes. And then you have this issue with Bud Light. I'm not ready to give this issue up. Juan has an excerpt of what we talked about with it last hour.

I saw this thing from Caitlin Jenner. He seems like a nice enough guy, but I'm not calling you're not part of the sisterhood. What? It's true. I wasn't even trying to be funny or smart ass there.

It just cracks me up. I'm sorry. I'm just not. Look, I'm not going to be gaslit and I'm not going to have my speech stolen from me by a bunch of dudes who are stuffing bras and like waving around lipstick. I'm not doing it.

But he's out there making excuses for Anheuser-Busch. And he's like, as someone who worked for this, Caitlin Jenner goes out and says, as someone who worked for this incredible American company and got to know them well, I raised for Anheuser-Busch in the 80s, and I agree. You know, they need to let them off the hook.

Well, as a chick with an actual vagina, I disagree with you. And I've had two male children and You ran with them in the 80s. I don't know. I just got here. And so don't do this.

If you want to sit here and have like a I mean, if you want to have an actual legitimate phallus measuring contest, I've birthed two of them. You only have one.

So. I win! That's how I measure it. I asked, did they apologize? It is amazing some of the people that are like, What do you mean apologize?

Like what apolog what do you mean apologize? All they would have to do is an apologetic Super Bowl ad. It may not be important to you, but I'm seeing stories like this where these chicks are like sitting on the bench watching dudes play their game. That's the stuff I'm watching. I'm watching women get pushed down the line.

It is the ultimate form of the pay. It's progressive dudes pushing this, and they're getting conservatives to make excuses for it. Holy cow, some of you all are getting so taken. Not you guys listening, but you know. People are getting so taken in on this.

Holy cow. It's something that progressives are pushing, and you've got some Republicans, including the former president, is getting out there. and defending it. What? No!

No.

Again, like I said, it's the Le Croix sorry, Le Le Croix. Of beer. Where they took a Guinness and they threw it through a stream of water and they bottled it, and then they took that bottle and they threw it through water and then they bottled it as Bud Light. and solve it. I can't imagine going to the mat.

And and throwing women under the bus. for that beer.

Now, as someone, and Kane can is one of them, we were born and raised in St. Louis. I lived three blocks away from Anheuser-Busch. I saw it every day, their huge headquarters. Where they had the Clydesdales.

They would keep the Clydesdales over at Grant's Farm, but they'd bring them up for Christmas because they had stables and that at the huge complex there in St. Louis right off 555. It was right by Sioux Lard and Benton Park and McKinley Heights. I lived right there. Could smell the hops and barley in the air in the evenings.

My favorite. thing to do in a summer evening. was sit outside and smell the hops and the barley, right? And uh Then I would, and you know, you could, if they, if it was a cards game and somebody hit a home or the fireworks, because we were right by the stadium, too. I mean it was So I grew up, that's like a part of like the fabric of my geographical identity.

But there is so much more to it than this.

So much more to it than that.

So, anyway, Caitlin Jenner tweeted that, and I had asked, I go, Did they apologize? I mean, that's pretty simple. I mean, it's a simple thing, you know. I mean, did they apologize?

So I, you know, I don't know. We uh let's switch gears here because we got some other stuff to hit too.

So as I said, uh Rana Uh, McDaniel. Who is stepping down?

Well, she's going to step down for the South Carolina primary. Matt Gaetz is apparently going to nominate Kevin McCarthy. And maybe. But they have to have an election to do it. He wants Kevin McCarthy to do it.

They have to have an election. I don't even know I don't even think that that that would work. I don't even think that that would work. I don't know. He's in the house right now.

I just, this is the most inopportune time to have this fight. Right when we're getting ready, we're getting ready to wrap up officially the primaries.

South Carolina is, you know, it's pretty much all, for all intents and purposes, done. This is the time when they need to be shifting gears and thinking of fundraising, et cetera, et cetera. And They have eight million cash on hand. Everything's a mess. Do you honestly think by the time they have their elections and get a new leader of the RNC that they're going to have somebody who's going to be able to untie this knot that quickly and get everybody on the same page going into November?

I mean, am I being a fatalist? I just don't see it happening. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Why is this on video?

I'm not sending this to you because we're not traumatizing the people watching the simulcast. Juan will put it up there in like a heartbeat. Broward Sheriff's Office deputies took a guy into custody. At the Terminal One, Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, 36-year-old Martin. Evtimov.

Yeah.

He, um Walked into the department departure section. without any clothing on at all whatsoever. None. I guess I think he drove naked too. NEKKID naked.

He drove there like that too, apparently. He went to the Security SA checkpoint. and breach the checkpoint. How do you breach the checkpoint? And he was intercepted by airport district deputies and TSA officers.

He resisted arrest. He was finally taken into custody. He faces two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrests with violence, disorderly conduct, disorderly intoxication, indecent exposure. He's booked in a Broward Main Jail after he was evaluated at the hospital. They have no idea why he was just buck naked running around the airport.

Oh my gosh, it's so bad. The video is so bad. Guys, I can't.

Okay, Juan. I don't know why.

Well I we can't really it's I even the censored parts are horrible. The guy is like splayed out on one of those conveyor belts, and they're trying to arrest him. The officers have to arrest him. And get this guy in Detained. Yeah.

With all of his bits and pieces flopping out. And without it looking weird. I mean that's got to be in their minds. Can you Imagine what's going through their heads like this, I woke up today for this. Like kid you know that that's Oh, you got some.

It's so bad. You guys see it. You see the video, King, yes? Yeah, in that instance, do they need extra zip ties? Oh my gosh, it's so bad.

And then they got a r they and they tried to put a hospital gown on him. to get him through the airport at least, but you know, the the gowns like that, they don't really close in the back. Did they wipe all the? I hope they wiped all that off because I have a major problem using, like, going through that whole conveyor area in the first place because everybody touches those bins and it's so nasty. And then to know that, like, a dude came in and was all naked all over it is just.

Your luggage could be touching his butt, James. Oh, that's so bad. It's so bad. I mean, it is so bad. Oh, my gosh.

Even, even censored, it's so bad. Oh, my gosh. And then they tried to wrap him up and he's just not. Oh, man. That's so bad.

I hope nobody was late for their flight because of a naked guy. It's just a matter of time. I had to see it, so you did too. A dude drove his vehicle in the ocean, ignoring a closed access gate. He looks like a, kind of like a party.

This is Volucio County. And he's a 49-year-old guy. He drove around a closed beach access gate and then drove right in straight up into the ocean, drove right into the ocean. I had no idea. Did his maps tell him to?

Yeah, I mean, I was like, kind of, he just drove it right in there. He ignored the gate. It was that new Smyrna Beach. He ignored the closed access gate. He said he wanted a drive to the beach.

Okay, well, you got to the beach and then you just kept going. 49-year-old Jason. Oh wow. Lots of consonants in here. Three Z's.

Presuses Kuwit. Right? Bersuskowitz. walked away from a lifeguard who was on the scene in case there was a medical emergency. Uh this said the beach was close to traffic because of high tide and he failed to pay the fee to access the beach.

So he's got faces charges of failing to pay the fee. Bond it he bought it out for $200. His vehicle was towed. But he has the I don't know what is with his hair. It's it's bad.

It's just It doesn't look good. He it was a truck and he told deputies he just wanted to surf. and that it wasn't his fault that the quote truck don't surf. It's got that beach blown look. Yeah.

Okay, yeah, mm.

Okay, yeah, there you go.

Alright, so. There, he faces some charges there. These people today with us, and then oh, there's more. This is crazy. A Florida man flees and faces multiple charges after a driver was killed in this crash.

This comes from Pasco News, Citrus County, Florida. One man was killed, another injured. It was a high-speed head-on collision. The person killed was a 69-year-old Florida resident. The driver, a 42-year-old man from Beverly Hills, got minor injuries.

According to Florida Highway Patrol, the suspect was driving at a high rate of speed, passing traffic on the shoulder, and he hit a Honda Accord, sending that across the median and right into oncoming traffic. The Honda struck a bridge rail, then another truck, and then that resulted in the driver's fatal injuries. It, I mean, an absolute mess. This is just a mess. The investigation is ongoing into the crash, but they said the guy fled on scene.

Fled the scene on foot after the crash, but he was apprehended by deputies at a nearby gas station.

So he's got DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of an accident with a death, leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, and driving with a suspended license with death.

So that's like driving with a suspended license, then, oh, it also caused someone to die. Then you get with death, I guess, tacked on to that as well. Oh my gosh, those are a lot of charges. He's going to go away for a while. By the way, you guys can stop sending me.

God love you. I love my Florida listeners. I don't need you all to send me the villager's story anymore of the guy who got discharged from the hospital. After he um Yeah, he jiggled his bets. We had this story.

Here's how you guys are trying to get me to read it again on air. They're like, oh, there's a development here, though. He got released. You should probably read this again. They're clever.

Yeah, we're on to you guys. We're on to you out there. I'm not doing it. They're like, here's it, you know what? This is what...

Florida listener Laura said, here's an update to the jiggler. I'm not even dealing with y'all anymore. We have our third hour on the way. Stick with us. I mean, he doesn't want a solution, he wants a scapegoat, and he thinks that he knows how to run against Mexicans and run against immigrants and rapists other than himself, of course.

And that's the kind of campaign he wants to run. It really is in the gutter. And the shocking thing is how much he drags the whole Republican Party down. And we're talking about Abraham Lincoln's party. It was an anti-slavery, pro-union, pro-freedom, pro-reasonal race.

Democrat rap. I'm like halfway asleep listening to him. It was so boring. He's so boring. He's such a boring guy to listen to.

He says Trump wants to run against Mexican immigrants and rapists other than himself. Welcome back to the program top of this third hour Dana Lash with you. Is that what he thinks immigrants are? See, when they try to get one over on someone, they end up kicking themselves in their own backside. Where's his do-rag at?

Yeah, that Kane wants to know. He he all he's missing is his leather jacket with it. Don't be doing that. Don't wear that do-rag with the suit. It's just no.

You're not Fetterman. Stop it. This um Here's if the Republicans were smart. If today's Republicans were smart. They would be talking about.

The E pluribus unum. value of immigration. Case in point, I wanted to play for you this flashback audio of Reagan.

Now, granted, under Reagan, He ended up when he lost the majority in the House. They ended up pushing amnesty through. There were a couple of things that happened after Reagan lost. Majority, I get it. They did a lot of good stuff though when Republicans had majority.

This was his final speech that he made, and I want you to listen. It's only thirty something seconds. This is a flashback. And this is what Republicans, this is how they should be messaging. Listen to this.

Since this is the last speech that I will give as President, I think it's fitting to leave one final thought, an observation about a country which I love. It was stated best in a letter I received not long ago. A man wrote me and said, You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or Japanese. But anyone.

from any corner of the earth. can come to live in America. and become An American. This is E pluribus unum. out of many one.

This is exactly what this is. This is the strength of the United States that. That bonding Unifying, animating spirit of liberty Do not be cowed. into thinking it's anything but. Here's the problem with CRT.

And I want you to realize that we've heard, I understand that you've heard so much about diversity and diversity, and it's not really diversity when the left talks about diversity. They don't mean diversity of thought, they don't mean diversity of faith, they don't mean diversity of political belief. They talk about diversity of things that you don't control, really. you know, what your skin color is, how you're raised, like things like things that they can use. As a substitute for the economy and class warfare.

That's what CRT is: a way to. Box everyone up into these little silos and keep everyone separate and disorganized and ununited. And so The idea of e pluribusunum is that everyone comes together under the flag of liberty. And that's a pretty powerful identity. When that's your first identity?

In the United States? And and i is that we're free? That's a pretty powerful identity. And so, when you hear the left talk about diversity, don't be baited into thinking that this is somehow. Semantics, a substitute for diversity.

It's not. That's not what people are talking about. Reagan isn't saying, oh, it's diversity that people here, it's our diversity that's our strength. It's our wanting to be free that's our strength. Everyone just happens to be diverse.

Because the desire to be free knows no ethnicity and it knows no religion and it knows no sex and it knows no boundary. People who want to be free, this is something that. that surpasses every other identifying factor. That's what this is. This is how Republicans ought to be messaging about immigration.

We practice. The E pluribus unum approach. that the founders of this nation, When drafting our founding documents, that they laid down as the foundation of our country. E pluribus unum. Many from all over one here under Liberty.

That is the identity. And we want to be one with people who come here. seeking to live free. to become American citizens. And to add Not just to the valuation of our country, but to the great historical culture.

Of from many one. That's the messaging Republicans should have. That's what they should be pushing. And they should say, and we as a sovereign entity, just as every other sovereign entity. We chart our own path and we Set these determinations.

It is our God given right to do so. And force Democrats to attack liberty and that uniting spirit instead of all these other stuff. I mean that's That's the whole point of it. But their messaging is just where is it? Where's their messaging?

I mean, where is their messaging on that? And so this is I I I just that's that's the way that they should be approaching all of this. But they don't. And now we find ourselves. In the weird position of now, oh, we're going to try to make another run at this.

We're going to try to. And we hear the administration constantly blaming everything. on Republicans.

So this was what, Audio Sound by Three, a reporter asked KJP, you know, doesn't he bear some responsibility for all of this? Right? And well. You can guess what the answer was. Listen.

At the feet of Donald Trump, the former president, he's the current occupant of the Opal Office. Doesn't he bear some responsibility? He didn't engage with House Republicans. He negotiated with the Senate, but not the House, the other branch or legislative branch. Where is he taking responsibility here?

The president has taken this issue incredibly seriously from day one. You heard us say this over and over again. You heard this from the president. On the first day of his administration, he said, He said, I'm going to put forward a legislation, a comprehensive immigration legislation that was introduced more than three years ago. more than three years ago, and they have failed to act.

Failed to act. Hmm. Failed to act on what, and it wasn't a comprehensive legislation that they put forward, he had executive orders. that he uh that he pushed. And then they wrote up this ridiculous plan that they had people like James Langford kind of co-sign on to.

By the way, James Langford was on the floor. I mean, it sounds like he's kind of trying to cry victim. Listen to this. This was just on the floor a little earlier.

Some of them may have policy differences.

Some of them have been very clear with me. There are political differences with the bill. They say it's the wrong time to solve the problem. or let the presidential election solve this problem. In fact, I had a popular commentator four weeks ago that I talked to That told me flat out before they knew any of the contents of the bill.

any of the concepts. None of nothing was out at that point that told me flat out If you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you. Because I do not want you to solve this. during the presidential election. I don't believe that.

and have done everything they can to destroy me. I don't think I don't believe that last part at all. And it's, I mean, you're talking, I don't know who that would be. He's talking about a commentator that said that. That wouldn't be unusual.

But I don't believe the whole, well, you know, if you try to solve this during an election problem, you're not solving it though, you're making it worse, is the thing. And don't play victim now. The real victim, it's not you. I mean, good grief. Only I really want to believe that he's a good guy, and I'm trying not to make this personal.

But when you get up there and you play victim, you know the real victims are all the people that have had to live with us. The real victims are the people like in McAllen, Texas, and in Del Rio and everywhere else along the border, Eagle Pass, everybody that's had to live with this for how many years now, that's had to live with the cartel crossing their land, that's had to find kids on their property after being dumped by coyotes. Towns that have seen their population swell. By sometimes 10,000, 20,000. Or the border agents.

That are working overtime, barely seeing their families, covering sometimes 100 square miles. That's their whole entire area, one guy. Those are the real victims here. The taxpayers that are having to pay stipends to people who cross illegally. taxpayer funded phones.

Taxpayers like in Denver that are probably going to get shouldered with that $30 million hospital bill. that was run up by all of the illegal immigrants that came in illegally and then went to Denver and then went to go seek uh medical treatment and then weren't able to pay the bill and now they have uh they're now they're in the red. Those are the real victims here, not the guy who in his cushy DC office co-wrote one of the worst immigration bills I've ever seen. Not the guy who okayed a bill that strips. from circuit courts.

and strips from states the ability to challenge these federal moves in their local federal court and consolidates it all the way in a leftist DC district court. No, the guy who wrote that and okayed it and went out and defended it is not the victim here. We don't do victim politics on the Republican side. That's just inexcusable. At least own it.

Well, they told me, you know what? I called you a eunuch. I think that that's probably worse. And I told you that I called him that on national television and it's true. We have more on the way.

We've got headlines coming up. And then going towards the bottom of the hour. Tucker Carlson's in Russia, and the way that the leftist media has been reacting about this is, well, very telling. We're going to talk about it. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, a time traveler who claims to have visited 2027 says that humanity becomes extinct. Yay! That's my hope. Mm-hmm. Wait, I'm not supposed to say that out loud.

Right. Yeah.

Apparently, a guy said that humans are going to become extinct in the future. He's apparently a self-professed time warper. He shared videos of his supposed trips to 2027 showing design. I don't know. He says deserted supermarkets, roads, football stadiums, and landmarks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

And apparently, lighting and the internet don't seem to be affected, which I'm gonna call some shenanigans on. Uh Yeah, so That's it. I think that this is all. Dumb, and I don't believe any of it, but he, you know, but still, don't tease us with a good time. Don't do that.

Apparently. Phone service providers are getting closer to phasing out the landlines. We were just talking about this the other day. The landline is getting closer to extinct. How are they going to survey people now?

Anymore for the polls? How are they going to do that? How are you going to read political polls comprised entirely of people who still have landlines and answer them in the middle of the day? I don't know. ATT applied for a waiver that would allow it to stop servicing traditional landlines in California.

They said they want to be operational on newer infrastructure within the next few years.

So, I don't know. I think, I mean, it doesn't make sense to even have them anymore, but you know, I don't know.

Some people do, they just do. Uh, let's see here. A woman found municipal bonds worth a million dollars at an estate sale, and the city refuses to pay. Interesting. Mountain Grove They found these, yeah, these bonds, and the city's just not gonna, they're not gonna pay.

That's it. It's behind a paywall, so I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna go further. I'm not gonna. Nobody wants to read your stupid article. Stray sheep were wandering in Brooklyn streets and caught by cops.

Were or were they Democrat voters? Yeah.

How does sheep get out in Brooklyn? There was like an actual sheep on the streets of Brooklyn. NYPD collared her, and she went to an animal sanctuary. The fugitive farm animal. It was 1 p.m.

Saturday at Sunset Park.

Somebody said that there was a sheep hiding behind the bushes. It was a call that came in 911.

Somebody called 911. God love them. They handed the sheep over to Animal Care of New York City, and then the animal was on its way to Skylane Sanctuary in New Jersey. And uh apparently they say it's They were able to get her, and she was, they said, very nice and very sweet. She had no holes, no tags, or anything.

Uh, but that's uh, so she's gonna she's gonna go to this little animal sanctuary. She's gonna be quarantined and then join 47 other sheep. At this sanctuary in New Jersey.

So there you go, it's a place that apparently takes stray farm animals. To New York City, and they have a 232-acre sanctuary. It sounds like heaven. He took the 700-pound bull that went viral after it was. This was back in December.

Remember the bull that was running around Newark? He took that bull. This guy who runs this. Animal Sanctuary took that bull.

So that's really good. I want to do that. I just want to have a bunch of random animals. You know, like sheep and... Cows that get away and all that kind of stuff.

I'd like to. Yeah, I mean, I could do that. I'd like to do that. All right. Also, let's see here.

This millennials ditch your wallets. Gen Z says you're old if you still have a wallet. Why are we listening to a generation that only half of them pay taxes? I don't care.

I like wallets. I mean, I actually carry a little bitty tiny one because I don't really carry ever any cash or anything, although I do like it. But they say no. Gen Z, I guess. I don't follow this stuff like this, but apparently wallets made a comeback with millennials and now Gen Z are making fun of millennials for carrying wallets.

Who does the stoppage? You know what? I was going to say something mean. I didn't do this to you. Boomers did, but you know, they can probably afford houses better than you.

Oh! Oh, I'm just here to watch the fight between the generations that don't include Gen X. Stick with us. Ready to grow your intellectual Rolodex? Download the Dana Show podcast and join the ranks of those who refuse to settle for the same old boring content on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Senator Ted Cruz had a press conference around noon today, said that you should have even tried to negotiate with Democrats, said this bill was designed to fail, and that it's time for you to step down as GOP leader. What's your response to that? I think we can all agree that Senator Cruz is not a fan. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, and not a fan, and honestly, it's um Uh uh we're gonna r uh I I don't want to sit here and have these little squares. Squabbles within the party when we're trying to. Get ahead for November. I We can't even Get I mean, we're not even going to be able to get on the same page with stuff. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you, bottom of this third hour.

I still think Jennifer Van Law, who did the big expose about the horrible spending and. Management of the RNC. I think she's the one who chased, she's the one who got Ronald McDaniel to. to step down. I mean, that's exactly it.

She is the one who got. Rona McDaniel to to step down at f at this point. I mean good grief, the amount of money that they spent. On They spent just get out the vote texts. They spent more on limousines, more on office supplies, double.

On limousines, double on office supplies. Actually more than double. uh double on uh floral arrangements. And only $86,000 on Get Out of Vote Text. The DNC spent $1.6 million on get out the vote texts.

RNC spent $86,000. Voter file maintenance, this is so important. These are the two important things that really are, it's their only job. The RNC spent $39,233.50 on voter file maintenance. To compare, and this is making sure that all of the voters, all your donors, all the people who voted for you, the people that you can count on.

That all of their information is correct, and that you're able to go back and, you know, Do voter outreach relatively easy. I mean, maintaining this information and making sure it's accurate and up to date is incredibly important. The RNC spent $39,000 on it. The DNC. by comparison, spent nearly $236,000 on it.

I mean, this is ridiculous. This is the these are people who want to be new the new establishment. On consultants, they spent over a million dollars on consultants, whereas the DNC spent just $114,000. A lot of what's been happening on the right is there is a lot of money to be made that gets shoveled around to all of these different groups, but none of these groups are moving the needle. I see people like making Fat Bank But I don't see any of these people moving the needle.

There are a lot of donations going out to some of these big groups that have big glitzy things and they make a big show of things, but. I never see them canvassing. I never see them doing anything door to door. They never, they're never involved in any fight except. Superficially Where they'll make some videos, they'll put some stuff on Insta, they might put some things on TikTok or Facebook or X, and that's kind of it.

and then they give speeches and they go on T V and then that's kind of like all they do. They they are you don't see them at fundraisers unless it's for their own group. You don't see them in anything. And I know this because I see it all. They do all this, is where the money goes.

And then where's the where are the results to show for it? With all of the money that's being spent towards some of these groups, why can't they move the needle? And then when you look at the consultants, RNC spent, I mean, you're looking at getting near 1.2 million. DC spent $114,000.

Now, the DNC is corrupt in other ways. I'm not sitting, this is not to say that the DNC is somehow pristine. I mean, they're corrupt, but they're corrupt in other ways. They're smart about it. The RNC is using their political party, and a lot of this is like a talent agency, for people who want to be confident.

Commentators or professional activists. And by professional activists, I mean people who just make videos and then they treat the digital medium like a movie screen. That's it. You know what I'm talking about. It's like an uncomfortable conversation that people on the right don't want to have.

I don't I I don't see these people in these fights. I don't see them. I don't see all these people with these shiny marquees. I don't see them in the fight. I don't see them moving the needle.

What's the point? We're creating like a sub-Hollywood class For Con Inc. It's weird. People who are in politics They get influence from the their life experience, their work experience, their ability to be able to manage their affairs, manage their families and just be good, hardworking, productive citizens. That's at least how it should be.

I think what happens is that the right has become so disillusioned with Hollywood, they decided to create themselves their own Hollywood as a sub-DC class. Oh, well, let's look at the politics of it. Let's make that a thing. I mean, I like infotainment as much as the next person, but then there's taking policy and making it entertainment, which I don't like because now we're all suffering the consequence of it. And we're seeing the results.

We've been racking up L's since 2016. You know Cary Lake isn't raising any money? I was looking at some of the fundraising data. From like friendlies, like people who were saying, oh my gosh, she's having a big issue with fundraising. And she's not the only one.

There's some others, too. I want to pick smart candidates. I want to pick smart candidates who have had skin in the game and have been in the movement a long time. This is another thing with the right. The right is so desperate for a Messiah to come and save them.

They don't realize that they can do the work themselves. You don't need like a recent convert from the left or from you know Los Angeles, or something like that, to come in and tell you what needs to be done. You know what needs to be done. I don't know why we rushed to crown these people. Like the whole thing with Kanye West, when the right was falling all over itself for Kanye West, and then, oh, shocker.

I mean, y'all didn't see that coming? We're smarter than this. But we get these people that have no skin in the game. That have voted Democrat and then they only turn around. I'm all for converts.

But that doesn't make you don't make them generals. Of your movement. They gotta fight with you a little bit in the trench first, don't they? You don't turn around and make them generals of your movement just because they just recently switched. What is it, like a damn participation trophy?

Come on. I'm looking at all this stuff and the RNC, they were using this as like a big old giant slush fund. And it's hysterical to me to see some of these other groups criticize the RNC's funding because I'm like, you know, you all wouldn't want your books to be opened. Especially some of these groups that don't move the needle.

So I hate all of this stuff. I don't like going to the cocktail parties. I don't like going to the galas. I don't like doing any of that dumb stuff because it's meaningless. It's where people go to, it's a giant celebratory circle, fillating circle.

I don't know whatever you want to call it. It's stupid, it's an exercise in vanity. If you need attention, get a dog. They'll give you attention all day long.

So Politico reported that This was last night, that Mid McDaniel stepping down. And then they had the announcement that was made to staff. Yesterday morning, apparently. And They said yeah we're and then they had the one guy The uh one of the guys who was uh the RNC chair. He said, yes, he's going to leave and focus on his growing family.

Oh, you know, I mean, he's got a wife and kids and he didn't realize that he needed to spend time with his wife and kids until this big expose came out about how he can't manage along with Ron McDaniel money at the RNC. Wow. Wow, this big scandal's reminded me that I need to go spend more time with my wife and kids. Is there going to be any accountability with you? No, there's not.

They're going to get some other moron to run the RNC. That's exactly what's going to happen. Don't give money to the RNC. Give it to individual candidates. Of course, that puts you under different FEC guidelines and you've got different limitations.

But you need to realize that a lot of, and these groups have done it to themselves, a lot of these PACs. A lot of these these committees, they're just it's Just wild. It's a big grifting circus. And the RNC got so mad at Jen Van Law because she was doing this reporting, and it was all correct. It was all correct.

This is a bad time for the identity of the Republican Party. They need to figure out what they want to do. They need to figure out what it is they want to do. Do they want to win or do they want to be like influencers? I don't get it.

Do they want to win and move the needle, or do they want to get in and canvas and actually go and persuade people? Do they want to act like hard asses online and keep looking like weak, you know, weak suckers? in meat space because they keep losing elections. I mean, you know, what what is it? But they got to do something.

And these state parties are a mess. I don't even know what our get-out-the-vote efforts look like. Do we even know what the planning for that is? With such little attention spent on voter record maintenance, I'm terrified to even think. But you know what?

You know whose voter record maintenance is all good? All these other. these other uh parasitic groups that are just hanging on. Gosh. That's what it all is.

It's sad. I don't wanna, you know, be so bit like mean about it, but It's true. This is like our, you know. It's important because this is our our big chance here. to right this ship, maybe one of our last big chances.

And we're just messing it all up. I like what this guy says. One of our listeners, Adrian, he goes, The GOP loves to take the newly born-again Christian and put them in the pulpit. Mm-hmm. I mean nobody's nobody's turning away recent converts.

But you don't make him a general. It's like saying, would you get a member of the opposing military? and not only put them in with your military, but then make them Be the j have them as a general? No, you wouldn't.

So, why would you do that with your entire movement and ideology? Do you see what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying. Doesn't make any sense. Not at all.

We have more on the way as we wrap up this third hour of our program. And and of course we're keeping our eye on everything else. Goodness Yeah, Lorraine notes that RNC spent more money on Instacart deliveries for office supplies. Than they did on voter file maintenance. Oh my gosh.

This is so crazy. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. There is some movement. And I don't wanna I don't wanna Well, I mean choose my words. There's some movement.

There's been A response. From The uh There's better response. From From what? The opposition. You mean Hamas?

Yes, I'm sorry. From Hamas. But it seems to be A little over the top. We're not sure where it is. There's continuing negotiation right now.

What? It's the President. It's the President, guys. President of the United States. Uh yeah, he meant to say Hamas.

He couldn't remember it. He couldn't he couldn't remember. Potatoes. It is. I was thinking of potatoes because do you know that you can actually get Okay, I'm gonna switch gears here real quick.

Why can you buy packages of funeral potatoes on Amazon. You guys know what I'm talking about? They call it that. It's like uh it's basically like a like a t cheese and tatty casserole. And they call it funeral potatoes.
