Monday February 26 - Full Show

The idea that Republicans, in order to win an election, Say we need to Hermetically seal the border when they know that that would. B That is economic self-sabotage to the U.S. economy. And they are saying, let's do it anyway. And to compensate for the negative effects, we're going to allow and throw people's kids into factories.

That is what they are doing in rolling back child labor laws while being as xenophobic and anti-immigrant as they are, and while ginning up this. this false narrative about this being a crisis. And by the way, by then also preventing and blocking any legislation that would provide not just a path to citizenship, but a path to work papers. I want to be that drunk. Can I start out my Friday or my Monday like that?

Monday. No, for real. Can I start out my Monday like that? I mean, she goes on television. And says this stuff.

I mean, I'm just curious.

So that's, I don't need to tell you who guys, who that is. You know, that's your favorite bartender. That's your favorite that's your favorite bartender, guys. That's AOC saying um That this is all the stuff at the border, it's not real. I watched um.

A video montage Today. Where Or it was this morning. And it was a bunch of sound bites taken from these uh a number of Democrats I was trying to remember who all it was over the weekend, like over the you know, the cable news talk show circuit. And they were all trying to say that, well, you know, there's really not that big of an issue with the borders you may think. And they were really trying to play it down.

And I don't know. I just got questions about how Republicans are handling this because this seems like a gimme. And I don't know why, but Republicans are having a hard time, I think, messaging on this. We're going to discuss it. We got a lot of a few things to hit.

It's kind of a slow news day, but there's some things definitely to keep you up to date on. In fact, it's supposed to be 90 degrees here in Texas. And why it's so cold right now, I don't know. I'm about to murder things. I mean, it needs to make up its ever-loving mind.

Dana Lash here with you at the top of this very first hour. And so starting out with this story. The immigration thing in this story is really starting to hit. We had the story, we had it as a headline. Last week?

And I assumed that it would be more well, not assumed. I just I I conservative media and some other like actual you know people who write about immigration were covering it. But For the most part, The Legacy Press. Has kind of ignored this story. I mean, for the most part, It's this story of this illegal alien, that's the legal term, who.

entered into the country And this guy had a record already, right? And apparently he was released though. before Ice could get a detainer on him. He left Texas. And then he went to New York City.

He found work as an Uber driver. He ended up making his way. According to the reports, this individual ended up making his way. uh to Georgia. This guy was I mean The gross negligence.

That allowed him to Go all this. I went from Texas all the way to New York, New York to Georgia. And then he murdered student Lake and Riley. And again, he was arrested because New York is a sanctuary state. He was arrested and then released.

before Ice could get that detainer on him. He was arrested last September because he's a a creeper. In fact, he was charged with Acting in a manner to injure a child less than seventeen and also a motor vehicle. License violation. But because, of course, you know.

As Bill Melujan noted with the charging docks, this 26-year-old illegally from here from Venezuela. He was had been he was he unlawfully entered in September of 2022 near El Paso. He was arrested by New York P D just not even eight days later. and he was going after a kid. But he was he was Uh the the immigrations out of Atlanta lodged a detainer.

Yeah, that could happen. I mean, ICE confirmed it. He entered illegally. They confirmed that he was he previously had tried to prey upon a child. And This guy was released, he was allowed to go.

I mean, that's I s when they learn that someone is in the country illegally and they w when they believe that they are I don't understand this phrase, removable, illegal immigrant, because I think if you're here illegally, ever you're in removable, period. They lodge this detainer, right? That it's a it's a Request that asks local law enforcement to keep the creeper or the criminal or the perp or the illegal immigrant in custody until they can be transferred. and put into these proceedings for deportation. But I say that this guy was released before they could even get a detainer out.

And that's kind of what New York City does. They do that. They will because it's a sanctuary. city. And sanctuary cities, this is what they do.

So they released this guy who was able to walk. And Then they they had ICE confirmed this. This guy's wife said that They were in El Paso for five days before they came up to New York. She said, We got married so we could join our asylum cases.

So they weren't it sounded like a marriage of convenience right there. And so then he goes and he kills this student. Who is at Augusta University, a nursing student? She was found dead Thursday. She had attended UGA.

She entered the nursing program at the Athens campus. She made the dean's list. Super smart student.

So they charged him with malice, murder, felony, murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call, and concealing the death of another. He was in court Saturday. Over the weekend. And his brother is also charged with fraudulent green card with being on a fraudulent green card.

So, this guy murders this student. Her death could have been prevented. Her death could have been prevented. Sanctuary city policies are killing people. How many young women have to be murdered brutally at the hands of illegal immigrants before Democrats act like they give a damn about women?

What about the right of women in the United States to be able to go to school and be able to walk around on campus without having to worry about being raped and murdered and savaged by people who are here illegally? Because this is like a handful of them now. I'm not sitting here playing the chip card, but I'll be damned. Go and look at the number of people and then you go and weigh the amount of women who are being preyed on and compare that to the amount of men who are being preyed on. And then you come back and you tell me what's greater.

So, all these people that are out there saying there isn't really a problem at the border. I mean, you could tell Lack and Riley that, but she's dead, so you can't. Because your policies killed her. This is just crazy. These are the immigration policies that this administration has in place.

There ought to be a rally in Georgia. There should be a rally in Athens-Clark County. I know that uh they're going down to the border. But what are you gonna do at the at the at the border? I mean I'm so tired of lawmakers going down and looking at the same section of sanitized border that they all look at.

I'm so tired of it. The same little section of sanitized border. They all go look at the same thing every single time. They go and make repeated trips down there. They stage these press conferences at these processing sites that have been entirely cleared.

But there should be, they should have, I mean, good grief, Republicans should be working with this family. Because if you if you want to Push this issue and get this issue taken care of. Do you think that Democrats wouldn't do this? Before you think it's in bad taste, you think they wouldn't do this? The same Democrats that were there at Parkland High School the night of the massacre harassing.

Parents harassing people like my some of my friends who lost their children, harassing them. with their their completely astroturf Bloomberg anti-gun groups. Oh yeah. That happened. They had a PR firm and everything ready to go.

You didn't know that, did you? Anita Dunn was part of it. She was in the Obama administration. She was down there taking pictures with people not even two days out. Got them if you ever want to see them.

So This is what Republicans need to focus on. If Nikki Haley was smart. They would duh. Her campaign would focus on this. She and Trump would have a, they ought to have a competition to see who could focus on this more.

So we got some 2024 stuff. She got. Politically murdered in her home state, which you knew was going to happen. She says she's going all the way to Super Tuesday. Here's something incredibly telling, too: the Koch brothers, they've decided Koch Industries.

Remember, Koch Industries, this is what's interesting. Coke Industries was on the same page as the Tea Party. Back in the tea party days, because everybody was standing against the healthcare bill and too big to fail and all of this stuff. And this was some things that the Koch brothers were against, right? They were also against that stuff.

But they've always been kind of moderate on things, but every now and then you have convenient alliances.

Well, they pulled the plug on her networ her campaign, the the Koch network. They pulled the plug on her sh they had been in ba they had been backing her. In fact, they were one of her bigger multi billion dollar backers. And now they've pulled the financial support for it because they said in a statement that They got to take stock of where the race is going. And this is AFP, Americans for Prosperity Action.

That's their political action group, the Koch brothers. They said they got to take an inventory of where this race is going. And they don't think that she's the best candidate. I mean, at this point, they said any money that they put into this, it's not going to move the needle. And I know a lot of people get I don't like their support of Haley, but I will say that one of the reasons you were able to have a lot of Tea Party victories in some of these early states is because they had that alliance, the T a lot of grassroot people that found a very Interesting alliance with AFP and all of that.

So, a lot of people who think politics began the day that they just, you know, they decided to go through puberty and realize that Reagan was a man and he was in the White House before, that think that history and politics began the day that they had this realization. That's kind of the history with that.

So, it's very interesting. But they are getting out of the Haley race, and she's going to keep going for some reason. She thinks, honestly. I think she believes that this is I I was having a conversation with a friend of mine earlier on this, and they said, Is there any potential that she looks at this like, This is kind of like a Tea Party 2.0, and that it's going to peter out. But the thing with the Tea Party is that, and I was one of the first people to say this.

is that any movement that stays on a little too long becomes a grift, right? Every movement, it has a sunset. That's the natural state of things. Anything that goes on too long, it becomes a grift. And so she thinks, I guess, that people who are Republican or conservative but don't like Trump, that that's like the same thing as the Tea Party movement.

It's not, because that's it's not a movement, it's just a personal preference. Like the Tea Party actually got people into office and like took over the House in 2010 and have has like actual you would have Trump without the Tea Party. I mean, my gosh. Uh, so I don't know what she thinks with this. And I told my friend, I'm like, I just think that's a dumb comparison.

You can't make, you can't compare the two. We have a lot to get to still. Because this is what else we're going to be touching on today. I got some silly stuff for you. But there were some troubling polls.

Troubling exit numbers coming out of South Carolina. And again, you know, the Trump campaign needs to pay attention to this stuff. I don't run the campaign. They need to pay attention to some of this stuff because you would rather. Be ahead of this and thwart it than not.

So, we're going to get into all of this and get you situated as we move. Our partners that help bring you free radio. It's our friends over at Wise Foods. I mean, I don't know. You don't know what's going to happen.

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

So, Kane and Steve were telling me this, and I can only assume it's because they want me to include it in headlines: how somebody thought it was smart to try to fight Cam Newton. It was a 7-on-7 football event, and apparently, there was a scuffle. Who gets into a fight at a youth football event? Like, who does? Yeah, scuffle.

The youth. The youth does. And I don't know why anybody would.

So apparently, dudes were, they decided to attack the former NFL MVP. And he just manhandled him, because he's 6'5. and he weighs like almost 300 pounds. How stupid are you? You deserve to get beaten.

You know what? Darwin's theory of, you know, Selection needs to, that goes into effect here. Good grief. Natural selection. All right.

We also have a lunar landing with feared to have tipped while reaching the moon. The lip. It's the American-made lander. It touched down on the moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. And they said they got their mission.

They're conducting some experiments on the lunar surface, but they're a little worried about operational capability because of some tipping.

So I guess we'll see. A homeless man who is a different Steve Irwin than that other Steve Irwin built a cabin in a Seattle public park after digging up the site with an excavator to find treasure.

Okay, so he's 41. He said he had the permission, he had permission to build the structure. Despite the fact that Seattle Parks and Recreation said, no, you didn't, and they paid $15,000 to repair the damage he had already done when he illegally dug up the land in fall of last year.

So he was arrested for the road construction, charged with theft of a motor vehicle, but then he reclaimed the space and he's just being a nuisance. Do you know what? Sim Cam Newton out there and beat his ass and that'll stop. Let's just do that. Like, let's just solve all these problems with sending out Cam Newton.

Let's just do it, right? You know, come on. Reason 5097, why Dana doesn't go do cruises. A cruise ship was hit by cholera, a cholera outbreak. A bunch of British people were amongst thousands of passengers stuck in quarantine on a Norwegian Dawn liner floating aimlessly off the coast of Africa after it was barred from docking to avoid health risks.

2,200 passengers stuck on this metal vessel with cholera. I don't like being stuck in a room with people sometimes of my own blood for longer than an hour. I can't imagine being stuck on a boat with 2,200 people and cholera and not being able to kill me now. Kill me now. There's no way.

There's no way. Uh pickleball. Which Juan and Steve tell me is for the elderly and people who are not athletic.

Now they have a lot of eye injuries. That's like a big thing. Eye injuries are soaring amongst pickleball players. Seriously, America? Stay with us.

Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, hosted daily from The Dana Show. Trump says he's ready to debate Biden right now. Should President Biden debate. Of course he's not. But should President Biden debate Biden in the Should be Trump in the prior debates?

I look forward to it. I mean, this is a guy. But that's a guest. That's 100% pure projection on a guy who refused to debate in his own primary. Back to my point.

Weakness masquerading. I mean, look, they got Trump dead to rights on that one. That's why I'm like, you can't, and I don't want to say that because don't make me where I have to agree with someone that I don't want to agree with. Nothing presses the metal to the floor of totally chill, too murderous faster than that. Welcome back to the show.

Your living Daria here with you, Dana Lash. You can listen coast to coast. You can look at my brand new black t-shirt. It's like all of my other black t-shirts, except it's kind of new. And you can look at it live right now.

Woo-hoo-hoo! Can also join the live chat over at YouTube. Find us at Facebook. Did you watch that interview with uh There wh wh who's the guy I'm thinking of? What's that?

What was that one weird kid show where they all were like wore foam on their heads and foam costumes? It would be rotten there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was didn't he, like, didn't that guy for real go to the dirt? Yeah, what was the name of that show there?

I used to know the name of that show. I almost don't want to know. Yeah, but he looked like he came from it. He's like a bad guy, a villain in that. Lazy Town.

Juan doesn't want anybody to know that he knows that. Lazy Town. We're not going to say that we got it from you, Juan. I think it's impressive we know that. Yeah, actually.

Thanks for putting us in that boat too. Thanks. Great job, Kane. Honest. We were like, we're too Gen X and cold to know what that is.

And then now we're like, wait a minute, how did we reference it in the first place?

So he does. He looks like he's from Lazy Town. That interview.

So I watched. not the whole thing, twice, but I watched certain parts of it twice because I've That dude is going for a presidential medal in butt kissing. I mean, I've never even seen Kamala talk this nice about Joe Biden.

So he's being asked, oh, well, should he debate? And then Gavin's like, well, no. I mean, Trump didn't debate in the primary. Why should Biden debate? They're going to use that as a way to not have Biden debate.

I hope everybody realizes this. That's happening. I doubt that we're going to have a debate in the general election, which is. A major I think that that's just as a voter, I find that Disgusting. We should.

That's why you should have as many debates as possible, I think. Unless you have the same questions because everyone has the same unimaginative approach. See, I would be like, all right, so you thought you came here for a debate. But actually, you didn't. We have a series of trials for you to complete.

The first one is you have to put together this elevente hundred piece Lego set without cursing one time. That's your first task.

So it'd be like hunger games, but without death and like any serious skill set required, right? The second game is you or the second task is you have to beat the first boss in Lords of the Fallen. Which is hard.

So maybe that actually does require a serious skill set. And then the third one would be you have to get through a single sentence without forgetting where or who you are. Right. I mean just things simple things like that. And then, I don't know, we'll we'll come up with some other tasks.

So they uh he just was fawning all over him. On and all. Over the guy. Is this audio?

So is audio somebody six more? Because he didn't really totally do it in five. But he, what did he say that Biden. He called Biden a masterclass, and I legit fell out. He called it a masterclass.

Dude, you're laying it on too thick, right? You're laying it on too thick. It's the same feeling. that you get. When you're watching like a movie or a TV show, right?

and there's a bad guy who's trying to bluff his way out of this situation with the authorities by really being almost over the top in Pleading his innocence, right? Or trying to throw suspicion away from himself. And it just is, you're uncomfortable. And it's cringy. And it's just awkward.

And I feel like that's close to 15. Watching Gavin Newsom, yeah. Is this where he's fawning all over a masterclass? It's such a, he's such a genius, brilliant president. This is so uncomfortable.

You gotta cringe with me. We're going to cringe right out of our chairs. Go ahead. I mean, what he's done in three years has been a masterclass, close to 15 million jobs. That's eight times more than the last three Republican.

Okay, can we stop for just a second?

Okay. When The economy is shut down. By force. Under threat of penalty. by the government.

Okay. And A lot of people have their jobs either suspended or they lose them outright. And then, when you reopen the economy, you don't get to say that all of the jobs that are coming back that were there previously. and are now coming back are brand new jobs that you've created. You also don't get to say, because you're expanding the size of the Federal Government, that look at all these brand new jobs I just that I just created because you literally expanded the government.

They're they're actually including in their numbers 88,000 new IRS agents. And they're trying to go, look at all these jobs we created. You okay? Loo. Look, look at the jobs.

That's what they're doing. They're trying to say That these are Additional jobs that they've created because Biden, as you know, is leading a masterclass.

Okay, go ahead, I'm dying.

Sorry.

Okay, play the rest of it. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted. It's 0.6% more than it was in the summer of 2020 at just 3.1%. Wait a second. We have American manufacturing coming back home, all because of Biden's wisdom, because of his temperance, his capacity to lead in a bipartisan manner, which is an underrepresented point.

And so I have great confidence. What in the world? Good God, dude. What on earth? He acts like Joe Biden's holding his dog with a gun to his head or something.

What in the world? I mean, it's a master class. He's brilliant, Kate. He's the smartest man that has ever been put into meat. He's so genius.

He's so smart, Kane. I have to admire the talent of keeping the straight face. Yeah, that is impressive. I mean, you it it requires the susp the suspension of your soul. Yes.

I mean, yeah. Your soul requires the suspension. Masterclass. I mean, there's a lot of words I think of. When I think of Joe Biden's performance as President of the United States, and I must say, audience.

That master class was not one of the terms. That popped into my head. Class. Was also one of the terms that wouldn't pop into my head. Yeah, I I mean, they're definitely not, definitely not.

Uh I There I I just is this this is how he auditions. He debases himself like this. Because there is a certain element of insulting your own intelligence to be able to say statements like this. Because what you're telling everyone is that you yourself are too stupid. To recognize that this is not, in fact, a masterclass in how to deal with policy these last three years, Nate is not.

That it's actually. Fubar It's turn a punch bowl. It is whatever euphemism you would like to apply to it. That suggest mass chaos and failure. It is not a master class.

Class is not in session. You're in detention. This is so dumb. This is so dumb. I hate all this stuff.

Gosh, these guys are clowns. They're so clowns.

Well, then they were. They were asking Uh Gavin knew some. If he was going to jump in to the race, right? Are you going to get in, Governor Gav? Listen to what he says here, audio soundbite six.

Buzz has not stopped. I know you've been asked this before, but do you still rule out a run in 2024? Oh my gosh, Zachie. I am here celebrating. The extraordinary accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration, making the case that we need to make to lift up the issues, lift up the record, drive contrast with the Republican nominee to be Donald Trump so that we can win for four more years.

Have you gotten any calls, Governor, it's all idle chatter. It's all irrelevant. You know what? That's a sideshow. I think what Democrats need to do is worry less, do more, continue to overperform as we have, continue to win.

I just feel like he's ashamed of four. You know how, like, there's always in politics there is. Either a doppelganger or as close as you can get to a doppelganger in terms of character. In culture, like in film or television, and I just figured out who his is. Yeah.

Would you like to know who it is? I mean Uh, it's Dennis from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yeah. It is him. See, I can see it.

She's sitting here asking him, so governor, are you... Caton asked me if I'm going to run for office. Let me try to do the Gav response.

So, Governor, the rumors are out there, and we were wondering: are you going to run? Ah. Uh what I mean that's just Chatter. That was the Kristen Stewart performance of disbelief, right? That was like half her lines in Twilight.

Convincing. That's all he did. He sounded like he was tripped up by that tough question. He sounds like a dog when you pick it up and it's squirming. I just What it is.

Yeah. Oh my gosh, it was so it's so uncomfortable. It is so uncomfortable. I get Dentist vibes from him. He probably has cameras in his bedroom.

I mean, if you hear, if you believe Jen Van Law's reporting, I mean. Golly, everything's horrible. I'm sorry, kids. I'm sorry that we've failed you. No, we didn't fail you.

Humanity failed you. That's what it is.

So just come sit on the couch and let's just talk badly about everyone because that's pretty much the only positive contribution that we could make to the political landscape at this point in the United States.

So, some of the other stuff that we have. Oh my gosh. I'm just glancing over our audio today. We're because you know Biden and Trump are both going to the border today. Right.

They're both going to the border. Did someone tell Joe Biden that are they going to take him to the border up north and tell him that that's the Mexico border? Is he going to get confused? Does he know where he is today? We're going to Get into that.

I really, it's taken everything I have not to play audio sound by 14 before we go. Literally all this could do it. Do it. Do it. Play it.

This is James Clyburn.

Well, you know, when I see all the gaps. Trump had some cue cards on yesterday or last night. and couldn't get his own wife's name right. There's something wrong with Trump, and we know there's something wrong with Trump. All of that meandering that he was doing today, but we never see any reporting on that.

If Joe Biden commits a gaffe, a guy who stuttered all of his childhood into his adulthood. And everybody knows he started ringing. It's what calls a lot. of his imp uh speech impediments. And we know that.

has nothing to do with his brain. He stumbles one time and everybody says He's too old to be the president. No. We had a president of the East United States. I saw the rackets the other day.

uh who in the top ten and some people got him in the top three. Franklin Roosevelt was in a wheelchair. One time, it was icy outside. I was a little kid. And uh I'm gonna bring the tugboat in.

Snuggle up. My mom went to the car to get something. She'd came come home from work early. You know, Missouri was icy out, and in Texas, if it looks like it's gonna be ice, they cancel the state. Everything shuts down.

Texas is closed. Missouri, they're like, I'll go ahead and make you come to work today. School's open. School buses sliding everywhere. Anyway, she walked outside of the car in the driveway.

The door was open. She was getting stuff out of the car. The next thing I know, she fell and slipped right and slid legit right the hell under the car, all the way out on the other side. Funniest thing I've ever seen. But I didn't laugh.

I didn't laugh. because it's wrong to make fun of someone's stutter. Sprong. Dana, that's not what a stutter is. You are making fun of stuttering.

When he falls up the stairs, Joe Biden, I'm like, that stutter is so bad it's affecting his feet. Yeah. Take which one goes? They don't know. We have more on the way.

The United States has a population of north of 327 million people. Why do we need More kids? Why do you have to be your party? Senator Tupperville is the one screaming that 10 million immigrants, which I don't even know that that number even makes any sense because it doesn't, have streamed into the country since Joe Biden has been president, and you're claiming that. Her wig's so bad it's bothering me.

I don't have to be mean. I just don't like it when women do stupid things on camera like that. Fix it. Welcome back to the show. And say he'd done things too like that.

Daniel Lash here with you. We're living our daria phase right now. You can stream the radio program. You can watch the video simulcast component on YouTube, Facebook. YouTube's where all the discussion is.

Facebook, also channel 347, DirecTV.

So Biden and Trump are going to the border on the same day. Biden's going to Brownsville, Texas. And he's pushing that Ukraine supplement. Trump is going to Eagle Pass. They're not expected to be in the same area while they are in Texas.

And Biden is going to, according to the White House, quote, reiterate his calls for congressional Republicans to stop playing politics and provide the funding needed for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And um My only response would be like if why didn't Democrats pass HR two? Yeah. Because see, Republicans had a bill ready to go to do all of these things.

And that was just last year. Why? didn't Democrats Pass it. Why weren't they serious about the border then, but now they're serious about the border? These are questions I have.

And in fact, I would also ask the head of Border Patrol that, too. HR2, you like that, right? We have a whole other hour on the way. You don't want to miss. Stick with us.

Uh our friends over at Hillsdale College. This is a wonderful academic institution and they are dedicated. To merit and character. They don't care about identity politics. And if you are unfamiliar with Hillsdale, first off, if you got a kid who's going to be going off to college and they're not applying to Hillsdale, you're not doing your job as a parent.

That's not in the talking points, but I'm saying it.

So here's the thing with Hillsdale: this is a great small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And they're all about the pursuit of truth and defense of liberty. They were founded in 1844 to do just that, to push back on this. epid this this illiteracy epidemic of Where our rights come from, and the purpose and principle of our republic. And that's why the folks at Hillsdale College produced all of these free online courses.

Now, they have a new one: it's a course on the very topic called American Citizenship and its Decline. And it's not exactly what you may think. I mean, it it gives into citizenship. It also is the American citizenship and civic pride. Sign up for this free online course, American Citizenship and Its Decline, at Dana4, F-O-R-Hillsdale.com.

Now it's taught by my friend Victor Davis Hansen. And it looks at the history of citizenship, and it explains Like how in America right now it's undermined, not just by open borders. Not just by globalization in the administrative state, but also identity politics. And so you can sign up for Hillsdale's free online course, American Citizenship and Its Decline, by visiting dana4forhillsdale.com. That's danaforhillsdale.com.

Start your free course today. Good morning. Chapianco, Riverside County Sheriff. We are here today because California public safety is in crisis. Crime is steadily on the rise, and our public safety policy is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the nation.

I want to make this clear and I want there to be no mistake in what I am saying. This is not by accident. The driving force in our crisis is a radical, progressive agenda fraudulently called criminal justice reform.

So, criminal justice reform. We've talked about that on the show quite a bit. That's a sheriff out in California. And I think that's I think you could also say that the sanctuary state is also a manifestation of the whole idea of criminal justice reform as well. Welcome to the program.

Dana Lash here with you. Top of the second hour, you can listen to the nationally syndicated radio program across the country. And you can also check out the video component, the simulcast channel 347 Direc TV, the discussion that accompanies it on YouTube, as well as Facebook. That's and uh speaking of the criminal justice reform. And border states.

We have Biden and Trump that are both going to Texas. Biden's going to Brownsville. Trump is going to Eagle Pass. And Biden's going to try to, Biden's using the trip as a way to push. This bill And they are acting as though that it absolutely has to be done.

Even though they could have, if Democrats were as serious about immigration as they had claimed, they could have done this with H.R. 2. You know, Congressman Chip Roy, we talked to him about that just not too long ago. They could have done H.R. 2 last year, but they didn't.

So, I just, I can't really take them seriously, their claimed desire to want to make sure that we have resources needed at the border because this isn't about that. This bill that they want to push through, this is that supplemental to Ukraine. And I, I'm just, I'm tired of the push with it. I'm tired. They had a, like on Fox last week, there was like an hour-long thing with Zelensky, like, really?

I mean, we, we, this guy's, we've heard enough. We've heard enough. I, The problem is, you don't know where the money's gone. You don't even know where it's going to go. You don't even know what the stated objective is going to be.

And there's just a lot of false stuff that's being claimed in all of this. And I get really tired of hearing warmongering people who are eager to send your loved ones off to war, but they themselves aren't signing up, if you notice. They're the ones who constantly beat the drum that, well, it's going to be Russia. They're going to challenge NATO. Russia can't even challenge Ukraine.

I mean, this is, I mean, this, it should have been easy for a country of Russia's size and place in history. And they're barely holding on to their butts. You think they're actually going to roll through Ukraine, come out stronger, and then immediately go and challenge NATO? Because that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. It's a weak attempt to try to act as though their imperialist tendencies have been reborn and they have the resources and the manpower to do it.

They don't. Russia can't do wars of attrition any more, as you can see. Not not happening. But that's what we're going to hear. We're going to hear that all today.

We're going to hear it all tomorrow. You're going to hear it on cable news. Oh, we got to get involved. We got to get involved. No, there's the you haven't made the case to the American people.

You haven't made the case as to why. And furthermore, you're not going to make the case, and you're not going to persuade anyone so long as we got people coming in through the southern border that are going and murdering conversations. college students and women at you know This is insane, this story coming out of Georgia. And It I think, you know. Trump shouldn't go let let Biden go to the border.

Unless Trump is going to meet there with Border Patrol himself, because They had the Border Patrol.

Now I've said this before. And my patience, my chill with them is going to run out here real quick. The head of the Border Patrol Union. From what I understand, the members of the Border Patrol Union don't actually support the Border Patrol head. And again, it's a union.

They look at this specifically as how does it benefit the union. Whereas we taxpayers, we don't have the luxury of looking at things that siloed. We have to look at how is it going to benefit us, the taxpayer? How is the supplemental going to help us? Is it going to lurch our kids and our loved ones towards having to get involved in a war?

I mean, that's we have to think of all of these other things instead of just the silo, just specifically this one issue, because Democrats won't pass a standalone bill about the border. And I honestly think it's I I get that the Border Patrol Union is weighing their their their case here, and they think that this is going to get them in a little bit better position than something else. But if you lose your ass at the at f with foreign policy, you're not going to have much of a border left either. And I think it was stupid and I think it was premature for the Border Patrol Union to get involved and make a statement about this because it's not just about the border. If this was a straight-up standalone border, that would be one border bill, that would be one thing.

But it's not. It is a bill that demands a heck of a lot more from the American taxpayer. And I think it is incredibly myopic for the Border Patrol Union head to go out there and do these and release this statement that sounds like Alejandro Mayorkis wrote it, to release this statement and to push for the passage of a giant bill that includes just a pittance for the border because they think temporarily it's going to make things a smidge easier for them. I think I get it, like I said. Your your Standing up for the folks that are in your union.

And I would have been fine to just leave the sentiment at that, but he keeps pushing it. This Border Patrol union head keeps pushing it.

Now he's releasing statements. He's going to be at the border. Probably, I think he's going to be there in Brownsville with Biden.

So now I feel like I got to get mad at him because he's gone beyond my grace on this. And I think a lot of y'all's grace out there, too. Because again, this isn't just a standalone bill about the border. This is about A lot of other stuff too. More billions that we don't have, that we're going to be spending in higher taxes.

to send to Ukraine. to send to Gaza. You're talking about sending billions of American taxpayer dollars to a terrorist government in the Middle East. I didn't sign up for that. I don't care what smidge of the border it helps.

So, this Border Patrol union head needs to watch his P's and Q's because he's starting to put himself on the opposite end of this debate with the American people. And those are the last allies you got. Ridiculous. I think when it's a big complicated bill like this, and I want to note that he did not include the nuance of only specifically talking about this portion of the bill. He hasn't given American taxpayers that courtesy.

So why should I give him any? Again, this is about business of the country, not friends. He's been on the show before, but I don't have any patience for this. I mean, this is nuts. Where was he demonstrating this sort of energy with HR2?

I don't remember seeing that, do you? Yeah, they had this post that he put up. And they were And I get it. Like I said, it's the union. It's the border union.

So they got to sit here and they got to. They have to deal with just specifically their union. But your union the Border Patrol union is also funded by the taxpayers. And we, the taxpayers, also have to think about everything that this porte instead of just specifically for this one aspect, because it's a pittance. Should have been HR two.

So they're both going down there. The uh Trump's gonna be at Eagle Pass, Biden's gonna be in Brownsville. And In the meantime, I really wish it would be smart for somebody, somebody. To go to Georgia. To talk about this case that the media's shutting out.

I mean, they've really This guy, this illegal immigrant who murdered this girl in Georgia. had been released from custody not once, but twice. after previous arrests. He had already preyed upon a minor before. He was released following his arrest.

He left Texas. He went to seek refuge in Eric Adams' New York City, Sanctuary State, Sanctuary City. And then He was arrested again. One week after... He was arrested again.

He was, quote, acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17. But of course they release him and let him walk before Ice can get a detainer out on him. They wanted to process him for deportation. Lincoln Riley's murder would have been prevented if this illegal immigrant had been arrested in in New York City, had been detained in New York City, and had been deported out of New York City. But Eric Adams sanctuary cities killing people not even in New York The long arm of the quote unquote sanctuary policy of New York reached its tendrils all the way down in Georgia, where it murdered Lake and Riley.

And so I'm just wondering and looking at this story. Where's the concern for this? Because this is what you're going to get more of. 7.3 million, and these do not include the Godaways. Entering in illegally.

Do you know that this uh young woman She went out in the evening for a jog. Right around our campus. The Athens Clark County coroner had to identify her body. Blunt force trauma. And I can just it's just horrific.

She was uh on the Dean's list. Super smart. student at Augusta University.

So that's a family that has lost a daughter. It's a family that's lost a daughter. That's Another young woman whose life has been extinguished, so we can what? We've laid her at the altar of... coddling people who enter the country illegally.

I mean, a lot of the. I mean, this is just horrible. It's horrible. She's out jogging. She's out jogging.

And our family, of course, is devastated. She had made the Deans list. Her mom had just announced that, on Facebook. That's so s it's and so they found her body in a wooded area. And just so young.

Just so young. The twenty six-year-old person in the country illegally who already has a violent record. had been released. I wouldn't be shocked if I sent you know what? Maybe Biden can go and plead for hi the release of this guy now.

'Cause clearly lives don't matter to him.

So Where are the Republicans on this?

Somebody needs to be out there in Georgia. Brian Kemp should have an event in Georgia. Brian Kemp should be all over this like white on rice. He should be all over this. Twenty two year old student.

And this guy's charged with felony murder, false imprisonment, kidnapping, concealing the death of another. He was denied bond. I think he should be put to death immediately and I think it should be publicly live streamed. I think he should be drawn and quartered publicly. I don't believe in opposition to cruel and unusual punishment.

Not when you got deal with monsters like this. I think that monsters need to be taught. to live in fear of the righteous justice of the people that they might prey upon. They're having the funeral service on Friday for this young woman. Twice arrested.

Twice released. Sanctuary City of New York City Because of their policies, they didn't bother waiting. To make sure to see if Ice could put out a detainer on him. They didn't they didn't bother waiting.

So, I think that they can go to the border all they want to. I think it's fine. Go to the border. Just so long as a Republican gets their happy ass to Georgia. and does something about this in Georgia.

I get it, everybody's got their legal squabbles and all this other stuff, but you know what? This is still ongoing. I get it that there's there's phallus measuring contests in the RNC to see who's going to be the head of the next completely irrelevant group that can't win in elections and loses like it's their job since twenty sixteen. I get it. But you also got these issues.

That y'all need to be dealing with. Caltech. Sub 2K, this is a great Florida-based company, and they're incredibly innovative. We actually guess that one of the things they're going to be coming out with. Although they, I'm not going to tell you because I promised them that I wouldn't if they gave me any indication, if I could guess it.

But they've got some really cool stuff that they're coming out with. One of the newest things that they have is the Sub 2K Gen 3.

Now, I have the Gen 2 version. The Gen 3 is awesome. I mean, it's gone origami. You can fold your 9mm carbine in half.

Now, previously, you'd have to take off your favorite optic, but you don't have to anymore with the Gen 3 because you just twist and turn. It's a patent, pending, rotating foreign in either direction. It folds the whole thing in half, optics and all. And it also just quickly as quickly and easily deploys it. Yes, still optics and all.

But they've also fine-tuned a number of other features. First off, you got an upgraded aluminum trigger.

So you got redesigned mechanics. You got a nice soft, lightened five-pound pull. And that means more precise feedback, clean, isolated pull, improved accuracy. They have an upgraded action. They have a new chamber indicator as well.

Ambidextrous bolt hold open, all providing improved manipulation, everything. You have to check it out. It's Keltechweapons.com, K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com, and it's the sub 2K, it looks like Sub 2000, Sub2K Gen 3. To learn more about it, visit Keltechweapons.com and tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So an AI robot has copied What? This is so weird. A bishop's voice. Listen to this. This is a church.

This is in Britain. The uh These AI robots are copying bishops' voices to con nuns out of thousands of dollars in a terrifying new scam. Hey, maybe just stop giving people money. Real easy. Just stop.

Don't. I don't care if you think you know them. Always have a like a code word too. For real, always have a code word. That's like a very important thing I think families should do.

Car shoppers aren't electrified by electric vehicles, another headline that states the absolute obvious. I had to get a new battery for my vehicle, and it was expensive, and I can only imagine the cost. of having to purchase a new battery for an electric vehicle.

Now look, I like gadgets. I don't care about your arguments about helping the Earth 'cause it does and it actually is worse. But the batteries are so ridiculously expensive. Can you imagine? It's like more expensive than the car.

You might as well just burn your car up, blow it up, and just get a whole new one. Yeah, I was reading this horribly written piece by the Washington Post by a woman named Janine Whalen, who can't write a balanced lead to save her ever-loving life. But the long story short is that nobody's buying EVs. You don't need to. It's like when I'm going to a recipe site, I don't give a rat's backside about your family.

I don't care about anything personal about you. Show me the recipe. No one cares. Blah, blah, blah. Cry, cry.

Show me the recipe. Nobody cares. That's the only reason why we're here. Same thing with this. Same thing, same story came.

The new housing, the new normal in the housing market, 7% mortgage rate.

So it's kind of tipping back up. Busy spring season nears. Buyers and sellers are making peace with higher rates now.

So we're going back up in the sevens. It increased 3.1% from December to January. According to the National Association of Realtors, inventory of unsold existing homes rose 2%. And they said that the revived supply should help meet the returning demand. Say, I swear sidebar, I have a conspiracy.

I actually have one conspiracy theory. It's about the tiny house thing. You know how they've been trying to push everybody into little tiny Cracker Jack box houses? I think it's because, yeah, you're not gonna own anything. You're gonna live in a tiny little house on wheels that you can just tote around behind a regular tiny like geometro, like that small.

and you're gonna love it and eat bugs, I'm telling you. Uh let's see the da da da da da da. Google cut a oh Google cut a deal with Reddit to train AI on its data.

So I've banned AI from training on my sub stack. And now I don't know what to make of this.

Now AI can train on Reddit. It's a new partnership. between the two companies. I don't even know what I'm gonna. I don't even know what I think of that, but they're gonna try it.

And California Bill. Is aiming to prohibit landlords from denying renters with dogs. I think if it's your property, as much as I love dogs. It's your property. You can make the determination as to what someone else can do with your property.

So that's just, I think, kind of how it is. I love dogs. I love dogs more than I love people. And I'm not entirely joking with you about that, but it still is a landlord's property. Stay with.

There are There are huge numbers of voters in our Republican primaries who are saying they want an alternative. I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president. I'm a woman of my word. She's gonna go. We got Michigan tomorrow, and then you got Super Tuesday.

And she says she's gonna go all the way to Super Tuesday. Although she did lose Big Money Koch brothers over at Americans for Prosperity. She lost them, so I don't know. I mean, if she thinks that the movement. Because it's not a movement, it's a choice.

It's a bunch of people who have a choice. I mean, it's not. dedicated around You know, like a Tea Party was an issue-based thing. I mean, in fact, the Tea Party, as one of the founding modern Euro members, was actually about anti-politician. We were anti-politician.

We did not even want politicians at our events. I got into a fight with a senator. At one of these things, because they were trying to come up on stage. In fact, I had to push back against this grifter who was trying to like secretly work behind the scenes of the tea party against the tea party and get and get paid off of. Having these lawmakers make friends with grassroot activists.

And I was like, right and left, banning politicians from getting up on stage. I'm like, you can listen to everybody else, but we're tired of listening to you. It was like anti-politician.

So I don't know because I've seen this kind of floated that, well, maybe she thinks that this movement or whatever is going to like dissipate. I just think that's it, and then she'll be left there standing. I don't know, it's a weird bet to make, right? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, Bottom of the Second Hour.

I mean, the primary is pretty much over. I mean, it this is just it's all over but formality. but she's going to keep on going and i she's campaigning she's going to michigan She's campaigning and now she's allowing Like Trump's going to the border. He's going to the border. Biden's going to the border.

And she's going to Michigan. Hmm. The primary's over. I just think that's that you realize how dumb that looks. I don't care if you like Trump or not.

Do you know how dumb that looks? Like, you're, I'm going to keep on campaigning. That's great.

Meanwhile, everybody needs to focus on these other issues.

So, the guy that you're trying to beat in the primary is just going to the border. And you can't because you've got to go to Michigan. And then you got Super Tuesday coming up. She's like, I'm a woman of my word. I'm not going to believe the reports.

So I'll take that.

Okay. I tell you, but they have, they pulled the plug on all this.

Now, you also have Ronna Romney McDaniel, who made it official that she's stepping down. Which we knew it was happening. We talked about this last week. It's official now that she's announcing her resignation as chair of the RNC. The co-chair is going to resign.

Uh they need someone who is not a Trump and is not a guy who's from, was it from South Carolina, the one guy who got in trouble and got sued by his own party because he cheated at the election. It needs to not be that guy. It needs to not be a super hyper partisan primary case. It needs to not be that. It needs to not be any of that stuff.

So they have, I think as of December 31st, the RNC has only $8 million cash on hand. I think the previous president got to pick the head of the RNC.

Okay, you had your turn.

Now let's get someone who's not going to run it into the ground. Because that's what she did. I don't care. This is not about making friends with someone. It's not about, this is me being nice.

You only have $8 million cash on hand. The lowest it had since just over 5 million cash on hand at the end of 2014, that's according to FEC filings. That's insane. because they have to also deal with all of the House races and the Senate races. It just there, it's just horribly run at this point.

It's just very poorly run. And then they've got. Uh he wants his his uh the chief operating officer of his campaign to also he want he wants that to be the COO, or no, the campaign aide. He wants the campaign aide to be the RNC COO. The guy that he is that he is pushing out there to be the COO is.

One of the worst match match-tempered people I've ever seen for the position. You cannot be on Twitter telling voters to go F themselves. If they had a different choice from you during the primary, because you need those voters to win. I'm not even remotely exaggerating. This is ridiculous.

Let's be serious about who we want. I mean, I I think the R and C, they all need to be grounded. They need to lose their driving privileges and everything else. Because $8 million cash on hand, this is horrific. I'm pointing out all these things because they need to be pointed out because I want to win.

And I look at all these, I look at any. Goofiness in my way as an obstacle to winning in 2024. You have a guy who is on Twitter picking fights with people every single day on social media. You know, X or Facebook or wherever, repeatedly picking fights with people, telling them to go do unflattering things to themselves if they weren't with him in the beginning during the primary. That's what a primary is for.

We don't have a monarchy for the love. It's like this guy just came over and learned how our republic works. Stop it. You're not going to win an election like that. And we don't need anybody else in the RNC doing any more Ass clownery.

I'm just gonna say it because it needs to be said. You should be against this if you want to win in 2024. People who don't want to win in 2024 are for it. They're called Democrats. You can't run a party like this.

So no. Totally against it. The uh I want to win. Anybody who d who doesn't act like that. is an obstacle.

You have to be bringing people together at this point. I also don't put a lot of stock in some of the surveys that came out, some of the exits. From Michigan, and some of these I think are goofy. People get real tribal during primaries, and they are never so more tribal than the day that they vote. And when you got people after they just cast a vote, Coming out and saying, even if it's just Haley voters, and they're like, Oh, could you ever vote for Trump?

And if they say, No, I don't think I ever could, I don't think that's true. But the bottom line is you still need everybody. Republicans have to have a crazy turnout. That's the problem with the Republican Party every single time. They beat themselves.

because of low turnout. Every time.

So The sh she's staying in. It's all. She's staying it all the way till Super Tuesday.

Okay. All right. Now more and more I saw this. This is another one I don't put a lot of stock in In South Carolina. They did this ma this is uh A poll that came out of it's the South Carolina primary.

I'm going to pull this up. This is some of the exit data. They were saying that only one-third Or they were they were asked, Are you a part of the MAGA movement? And they had of all the Republican voters Forty-five said yes, forty-nine percent said no. That's very similar to the January Iowa caucuses, where four in ten describe themselves.

Only only identified as positively being. Honestly, I think it's because you have to be able to define it easily. And you can't just say America first, that's vagary. You have to be able to easily define it. And you need to be able to say like this and point to specific successes.

That was the only question that was asked.

So it's not like they were. Being led or anything like that. It's not a push-pull. They were just asked: Are you part of the MAGA movement? And I think some people.

Also, and this is also the nature of people who just identify on the right. They do not, you have to realize people who tend to vote for more constitution, less government. Do not They don't yoke themselves up with identity. in politics the way the left does, because it is identity politics. They don't do that.

That's why a lot of the persuasion and advertising doesn't work on the right the way it does the left. They're just a it's a different mindset.

So I think you have to take that into consideration of some of this as well. But I also think some of it comes down to you got to be able to really easily define it very quickly. And I think some people are like, well, I don't know, am I?

Some some people because I actually have heard, I watch people debate this online. They think it's if you're like the most hardcore supporter, then you consider yourself as being that. Because that's how a lot of his surrogates have defined it.

So that's that's another reason why you can't get too tribal. Because you want to keep it to where other people, you need support and you want other people to be able to come on and adopt. Here's this horrible story I was telling you about. This is so ridiculous. I hate culture right now.

This is an actual headline: New York Post. I've seen this over and over again. I've seen this headline and this discussion over and over again the past month. The headline. Women are loving men who embrace baby girl vibe and ditch toxic masculinity.

Now you're like, what? On God's Green Earth is a baby girl vibe. And so they said, here's how the article goes. A 26-year-old 6'5 man isn't what comes to mind for Americans when they think of a baby girl, but as for Gen Z. Jacob Alorty, 26, was deemed soap baby girl during his promotion as the host of Saturday Night Live.

that the musical guests in Casma were made the decree.

So they say that Pedro Pascal, who's not Gen Z, he's older than me. Timothy Chalamay and this other guy who's in White Lotus and I don't watch it. The the term Is a term of endearment that includes a specific type of swoon-worthy dude. a guy who is comes across as sweet, charming, and a bet bashful, and seemingly in touch with her feminine side, ready to talk about their failings or carry a purse to brunch at any point. That is exactly what women want and what men want to become, the antithesis of toxic masc macho masculinity.

Who wrote this trash? This Some bee name Adriana Diaz. Gag me. Just because you want an emasculated dude, I cannot stand it when I see these broads get out here with no lived life experience acting like they're talking all for women. Gropsh, no.

That sounds baby girl is synonymous with pansy. That's what it is.

I don't believe in the phrase toxic masculinity. I do believe in the phrase toxic femininity. And it is, you don't even have to say it that long. Just call them bees because that's what it is. It is the matriarchy defined.

They They it's women who want men that they can manipulate. The manip the easily manipulated man. That's what this says. That's this is crazy. Have you heard this term before, Cain?

No, I Nope, not before today. I was today years old. They're like pick me dudes. That's what they are. Have you ever heard the phrase pick me, girl?

Yeah, the girl that wants to, it's like that. That's what it is.

Golly, a man who's a baby girl who called Pedro Pascal tries too damn hard, by the way. That guy is a pick-me dude. He tries so hard to be loved. It is, I just cringe right out of my chair. It's so, I can't deal with it.

And they're like, traditional norms are shifting. No, they're not. There's nothing, I think if you're using the phrase toxic masculinity, you're too stupid to define either. Chivalry is the code of honor by which men should behave. Toxic masculinity.

That's not a trait that's associated with being a dude. There's you're a jerk or you're not. Just like women are bees or they're not. It's very simple. But I just think this is so this is so goofy.

It's about like not being why is it that women fawn over tough guys then? Seriously, think about it. Go look back. The guys who actually get the praise and the looks and the chicks, it's not these baby girl dudes. I promise you that.

Like there's Kali, who wrote this? We have more on the way. I had to share that with you because I had to read it. We get to share in the suffering. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

Yeah. Yeah It's time for Florida Man.

Alright. All right. People were shocked as a Florida man wrestled and caught a wild shark. Is there any other type of shark? Yeah.

Domesticated. Yeah, here's my domesticated shark.

Some of it was on video as well. If this will actually open, because I hate everything right now. No, people were shocked. This guy literally went in and caught and wrestled this thing. Uh I don't know I mean I I why?

That's I don't know. Another day, another shark, they the video the guy said Uh I d it was like in this uh shall really shallow shallow area, and he did like walk him out. which I think he also makes him nuts. He walked him out. Uh two Where he could, this shark could swim away.

I don't know if he just got stuck in this shallow area or what. But I'm like, dude, you're nuts. First off, you're nuts, and then secondly, There's no other type of shark bunny wild shark. Look at the size of that thing. I mean, can I be real?

I mean, I like wildlife and I want the wildlife to be happy and stuff, but I also, at the same time, I'm like. Um If I see a shark of that size in a shallow area somewhere, bye shark.

Sorry.

Sucks for you. It's a big bummer. I think I just naturally want to punch it. No, I'm not going to be like that. What are you supposed to do?

You're supposed to punch it in the nose. If it's trying to get you, not just like if you randomly see it. That's no, that. Oh, my gosh. I don't randomly see sharks.

It's because they come up to me.

Sorry, but that's how it goes. Just punch it. Kane's gonna be just if you see a crazed man in Florida jumping in random watering holes, just punching the wildlife, it's Kane. That's what's happening. I gotta get this one too, I saw.

A Florida woman was sentenced to probation speaking to Gators. She was at a traffic stop, Ariel. McCann Lec Lacquire? Sure. Laqueur.

It just looks like her name is the French way of spelling queer. I don't know. La queer? I don't know. She was arrested.

They stopped her and this other guy, they ran a stop, signed him Puna Gorda. And then, as they had them step out of the car, she literally pulled a foot-long alligator out of her yoga pants.

So, yoga pants means leggings. Pretty sure. Girlfriend had a foot-long gator in her leggings. These are my gator leggings. These are the leggings that I wear when I go hunt gators.

She was out there catching. Snakes, they said that they were trying to collect snakes and frogs from underneath an overpass, right? And they were, I can't even make this up. They were holding the things in a teenage mutant ninja turtles backpack just to. I need to know m I need to know more about the yoga pants though.

Like, I'm looking at this and I need to know. I need to know more about the yoga pants. I mean, that's pretty impressive. Like, what brand were those? Did you get them off Amazon?

Like, I'm just curious. Let's see here. A, oh, man. A uh wild video shows a gator chasing after golfers in Florida. Oh man, we're going to get more to this tomorrow.

But yeah, they were like chasing the golf carts. It's like a rabid gator. Stick with us, third hour on the way. Another man not a lot of people know. He doesn't do too much television.

He happens to be a little bit uh further left than some of the people on the stage. But I always say when I'm in trouble on the left, I call up Lindsey Graham and he straightens it out so fast. Take a There's a one more. And I'll tell you, no, no, no, no, remember, remember. I love him.

He's a good man. Come up here, Lindsay. Oh, my gosh. Come up here, Lindsay. Lindy Graham is very reluctant to indeed come up there.

And he's also five feet shorter than Trump.

Okay, are you ready? No. Yeah. America, the nightmare you're facing is just about over. Help is on the way.

This is the most qualified man to be president of the United States. And let it be said. This is the second time Trump has brought Lindsey Graham out there, and every time it's the same thing, people are going, No, boo. They don't. They don't like him.

They're not a Graham fan. Lindsey Graham. Had one moment. And that was during the Kavanaugh hearing. And he remains tolerated because of that.

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, Top of the Third Hour. And it's good to be with you. As always. And you can listen around the country.

You can also. Uh I mean, all kinds of stuff. You can you can stream it, the discussions over at YouTube, channel three forty-seven, direct T V. Good moment. You know, it's like where it's that, it's like the time in the movie, right?

When. the bad guy character. Or not the bad guy character, this is the character that's like smarmy and that you may not be totally a fan of. is when he does something good and you find yourself you know, unexpectedly rooting for him. for that moment.

And Lindsey Graham had that moment. During the Brett Kavanaugh. hearing during in the Senate. because he was the one who went to bat for Cavanaugh. And he was the one who sat there and I'll never I actually think that was a very passionate, powerful moment.

Because he got real mad at Democrats sitting there and he goes, You you all want power and I hope you never get it. Howie Nehowy says, And that's about it.

Now everybody's over it because he's always been a big Well, they call him Gramnesty for a reason. And so Trump Brings him up there. And he gets he gets he gets booed. They boo they boo Lindsey Graham. You gotta be careful with that.

You gotta be careful. Little doses. But I do think it's this interesting. He's like, yeah, whenever I'm in trouble for the left, he just gets it. I just bring him in.

I mean, I guess you gotta have people like that, but still, you gotta be careful bringing him up on stage there like that with you. All right, so. Uh as always, good to be with you. We got Michigan tomorrow. Is anybody really watching the primaries anymore?

'Cause I'm not. Got Michigan tomorrow and then you got Super Tuesday. Right, Rob. Are you really excited about it, Kane? Are you so excited?

Oh my gosh, if you were just waiting, bait your breath. No, I know I know that Haley knows that she doesn't have a chance, right? She's staying in. My thing is, I think she's setting this up for four years from now. Where she can then say, I made it all the way to Super Tuesday.

Um you know, the only other candidate to make it a, you know Through Super Tuesday in the 2024 election. Like, that's. I mean, it's all she can do at this point. She knows that this is a lot of fun. Yeah, but that's not going to be enough of a talking point.

No, it won't. And hopefully, she'll have something to add to that in the four years leading to that. But, yeah. This is literally all she can do at this point. She hurt herself with the trans stuff and foreign policy, and that's going to be a deal breaker for a lot of people.

Can we talk about the V P stuff real quick? Because Trump is going to string that out for as long as possible. Honestly, he kind of should. Uh but I got I got some concerns. It can't be somebody from Florida.

Because you can't have two dudes from Florida running. You can't. It's not going to be What's Her Face? No. Her State has, what, three electoral three electoral votes?

Uh I don't know if he would ever get along with Brian Kemp. Coming out of Georgia. Georgia's got, what, 16 electoral votes? It's also, by the way, why a reason why Trump should be hitting Yeah. Uh of that uh that young woman who was murdered by the illegal immigrant in Georgia.

Um sixteen electoral votes there. Tim Scott, South Carolina, Tim Scott, who went soft on BLM. That Tim Scott? Yeah. Hmm.

I don't think it can be him either, although I wouldn't be surprised. Uh he is I mean, he's kind of walked sort of the middle of the line a little bit on this stuff. Uh he Was accused of playing it safe. He was accused of, you know, trying to triangulate. uh etcetera.

I he seems like a nice guy. But Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so with him.

So, who else, besides? I'm like going, I'm pulling up all my little VP notes here. Because you also have to look at people's records. Haley said she I don't has Haley ever said that she wouldn't be VP? I think she has said that.

Because that would be interesting. She hasn't said that she wouldn't be VP. Yeah. Uh I mean, she's you know, she could bring the big money to it and he's gonna need money 'cause he's he's gotta pay for all his trials and you can't you can't have Laird Trump at the RNC raising money through the RNC, taking away from all the congressional and senate races just to pay his legal bills. And I'm telling I mean I'm just telling you If you want to win in 24, let's be honest.

Or we can sit here and tickle each other's fancies and lie about everything and then have our butts handed to us in 2024. You tell me. Uh but The I it Tim Scott is not a fighter. He's not a fighter. I think he just was trying to triangulate.

On uh the uh I think the BLM stuff. He had that one police bill that was wa roundly criticized by conservatives that he had been pushing.

So I just I just don't think. I just I don't think. Who else? Tulsi Gabbard? Tulsi Gabbard has not done enough to convince me that she's actually a conservative.

That approaches a deal breaker line for me. She is someone who people have told me she's welcome to call on the program. There's an open invitation. I don't have time to listen to like one of the million podcasts that are out there. I just don't.

Uh I mean you can come on and talk to me about it. But There's the uh 'cause she had previously She had been against the quote-unquote assault weapons and all this other stuff. She had taken a pretty hard line against 2A issues. And I've written about it. Uh she had also said that she yeah, she Uh she couldn't vote against impeachment because she thought Trump was guilty of wrongdoing.

She's been, yeah, she's been a hardcore lefty for a long time. And she tries to triangulate to the middle on a few issues, and people who don't know her record get really excited and act like they think that she's coming to the to the right. She's she's not. Not on the issues that actually matter, the issues that affect your day to day lives and your freedom. She has not.

So No. Uh Vivek Ramaswamy? I if anyone suggest him as a VP. I want to know how much of Hunter's Crack Rock you share. I'm all for people coming to the right.

But you got to grind a little bit with the regular peeps for a while and prove you know, put you know, m maybe do some canvassing and fundraising instead of just immediately switching to the right and then demanding to be general. No, that's not how we do things here. And the dude was donating to Democrats literally like right before Trump declared in 2016.

So, I mean, I posted all that as well. I have several big posts on it. He's been on the show before. I mean, that's fine. I'm all again, I'm all fine with people coming to the right, but you don't have someone who immediately decides to be on the right, and then you're going to make them general of everything, like I said.

No, you got to grind with everyday folks. You got to go and maybe do some fundraising or start with some lower-level races. That's what I don't understand, right? I just never understood that. Like a congressional 26th district in Texas is a weird race because you got.

You got a number of people running for it, and some of them have you know, some of them been in the private sector, some of them literally haven't. They l they lived at their father-in-law friends' places in New York City and all this type of stuff, never worked in the private sector. Never like did, you know never did the work of of helping other to to propel other people into office. and then wait until a seat opens up and then relocate from New York here. And then decide that you're just gonna run to be a member of Congress, not for any other smaller seat.

I mean, you're twenty-something Compared to like the guy that I like in the Texas 26, my mayor, John Huffman, who has been in the fight, has been doing all this stuff. I just, I get, I don't trust people. Who haven't proven themselves to the voters. And I really don't trust people who don't put an ounce of work into the cause and then immediately want to run for the top office they can get and demand that you vote for them. And then they try to they try to spin.

their previous apathy and their previous absence. In the trench with you as being a quote unquote outsider, when that's such a lie. I can't stand that. I don't trust. I immediately am partisan against anybody who comes at it from like that.

I i it's just weird. Like I said. Welcoming someone to your side and then immediately making them the boss of you. for the lack of a better way to say it, or the boss of the party. Or number two in the party is not the way to do it.

They're two entirely separate things. But a lot of people try to conflate it and say, oh, well, if I I thought you liked having people come to the right. Having someone decide to support the Constitution is entirely different from making them the second most powerful person in the country. Are you high? Two entirely different things.

I saw this uh op-ed. Golly. It's making the rounds today. The headline And it's over at the Cut. Can parents prevent their sons from sliding to the right?

It's about as bad as you would think it is. A friend of mine said, My privileged, coddled, misogynistic white male heterosexual sons think the system is out to get them. Why? I mean, it is literal, it is so stupid. The woman who wrote this literally called her own sons oppressors in training, and then wonders why are they ostracized?

Why do they feel like they're on the outskirts of society? Maybe because bees like you write poorly written columns like this. I mean I I I it's just wild to me. This is the kind of stuff dudes have to deal with. Yeah, they, I mean, it's, I cannot believe how long this piece is.

It's a bunch of navel gazing nonsense. And She writes a column. Basically Targeting. her own kids' belief systems. and just by nature being who they are.

and then wonders literally in the same column why they feel like they're being ostracized. That is amazing to me, the lack of self-awareness in some people. Good heavens, you this is how you get those baby girl dudes. We had that remote just last No, you don't wanna know. We have more on the way.

Our friend Steve Yates is gonna be joining us coming up. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So they say that there is the actually, hold up, let me do this one first. This is the first alcohol-free bar in Sacramento. I don't care. I'm not gonna give the bar-free advertising. But I just think if you're gonna be in California, you need all the liquor.

That you sure. that is available to you. in order to make it happen. I mean, you're... You're going to a bar.

I get it, people who want to be alcohol-free, okay? I don't, oh my gosh, I'm not gonna sit here and deal with butthurt people who are gonna get upset if I don't immediately and zealously and enthusiastically affirm every single life's choice that they have from whether or not they drink alcohol or whether or not they use two-ply toilet paper. God help us. But I just do think that this is you're basically paying for overpriced juice. That's what it is.

Why would you do that? That's kind of goofy. I think it's goofy. I get, I think it's a shtick and it doesn't last long. Anyway, let's see here.

So What Flacco? Is that this? I thought it was Falco at first, and then I thought it was cool, but the name is Flacco. The owl? The Central Park Zoo Owl.

It's a Eurasian eagle owl and it apparently flew into a building.

So first we lose Al Bundy, my Al. And now we have Flacco, Visale I didn't know existed. He escaped from his vandalized exhibit at the Central Park Zoo. and flew right into a building. And they said, yep, acute traumatic injury.

He literally flew right into the building, substantial hemorrhage under the sternum, around the liver. Uh otherwise he was in good health. Yeah, so great. He flew into a building. Good job, people who vandalized his enclosure and he escaped and flew into a building.

Great job. Yeah, they uh he he was from February 2nd Of last year.

So it's almost a year.

Well, he made it a year. He made it a year. There you go. But he was uh drawing crowds all around Manhattan. It's kinda sad.

The Seattle Space Needle is back open after an early morning fire. If you feel like going to that liberal hellhole and going to see the space needle there in the Pacific Northwest, because the needle caught on fire and now it's reopened. I know your whole day was made because you had that headline. Michigan authorities are searching for a couple who ran over a waitress after being confronted about an unpaid bill. Uh this story.

They said it. A lot of people are getting run over. Michigan, they're searching for this couple. They were eating at this El Camino restaurant. They disputed, they had a dispute over the service and food.

They left without paying the bill for their meal. And they, golly, after leaving, they entered a 2005 to 2009 Mercedes C class.

So they probably bought it new to them and they're feeling high on their farts. And then, of course, they drove away and ran over to their server. She was taken to the hospital to be treated for her injuries. We had the story coming out of St. Louis where a woman was straight up run over.

Uh, yeah, she got. Uh, I had this story a minute ago.

Well, we'll save it. We have Stephen Yates on the way. Stick with us. Whether you're a policy wonk, a news junkie, or simply someone hungry for insightful discourse, the Dana Show Podcast has your back. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I uh I've spent a lot of time with Xi Jinping, someone whom I have a great deal of difference with. And I was, when I was vice president, president, my president told me that he wanted me to get to know Xi Jinping because it was clear he was going to be the head of China, and we were having problems with Russia at the time and other countries as well. And so what he said was, get to know him. He's going to be there. And he couldn't because he was the president.

He couldn't travel.

So I traveled 17,000 miles with him throughout the country, our country, and in China as well. We were in the Tibetan Plateau, and he turned to me and he said, can you define America for me? And I give this has been documented as real. I looked at him and I said, yes, I can. in one word.

And he looked at me and he said, what's that? And I said, possibilities. That was Biden saying that he traveled 17,000 miles. with China's Xi Jinping, whom he said was the head of Russia. Yeah, welcome back to the program.

It's probably why we don't have any kind of real policy relating to China. It's just a stutter. Yeah, it's a stutter. Kane, how dare you make fun of his stutter? That's the President of the United States, Joe Biden, for crying out loud.

Let's go to the, we've got a million things we can ask him about. Stephen Yates at YatesComs on X. You guys know him. He's on with us every Monday. He's with the America First Policy Institute, and he's chair of the China Policy Initiative.

17,000 miles with Xi Jinping, whom he also says Stephen. is apparently the Head of Russia as well.

So Cece's also. You know, the head of Mexico, apparently, too. I, it's all confusing. I, I mean, who knows anymore? I just wanted to get your.

I thought it was at the governor's dinner or whatever. He sounded very tired. Just your initial thoughts on this because that kind of stuff gets back to China and China sees this. And I, geez.

Well, the Chinese actually keep records as opposed to, say, Americans, where there's no documentation for all of these frequent flyer miles. And was this on China's government jet, on America's government jet? Because I don't think the Chinese leaders actually get on America's jets and fly around. And what's he trying to beat some pop song to say he went 17,000 miles? Because that's going more than 10,000 miles.

And so he's, you know, it's another version of him trying to be hip. I mean, all of this is more than just a little bit crazy. And who cares how many miles you might have gone? You say you spent all this time and you supposedly know this guy.

So, did you know that they were cooking up a coronavirus that was going to go out and hit the world? Did you know that he's the kind of guy that would put some fentanyl precursors in there and take over the money laundering for the cartels? Did you know he might be sending some military age men across our border, undocumented, to do who knows what?

So I mean, what was the point of all of this? I mean, way back many, many moons ago. I remember the vice president reaching out to try to get to know the next leader of China, and we took that as a special project. And the one thing that stood out to me in 2002 was how little anyone in our government really knew about this stuff.

So, all Joe Biden's experiment proves to me is the deep state knows even less over time. But apparently, even less. And now we're seeing all of these. I was trying to look at the number that Bill Melujin was giving. You got thousands of Chinese nationals.

coming across. the southern border now. Is that That seems to me unusual because I don't ever remember Stephen's stories in the past talking about people coming from different countries around the world. I don't ever remember hearing all these people from China coming in across the southern border. Or other places.

I mean, there was a concern after 9-11 what kind of composition of migration might there be. After all, if there were groups that were willing to send people to learn how to take off but not land planes, they might be looking to come across our borders with who knows what. And there was an Iranian assassination plot that was aimed to take place on U.S.

soil, and it was tied into those migration flows.

So, this has been a topic of concern. But it turns out, when you put out a big green GO signal to the world, after a little bit of time, everybody wants to come.

So, there's people from all regions of the world that have now started to mix in. And I'm not shocked that you have a lot of working-age, military-age Chinese males that are making these treks too. And they might be carrying things themselves, or they might be hiring American mules to do their dirty work for them. But what's clear is the GO signal was extremely dangerous, and we. We don't just have things flying over our territory now.

We have people coming into our territory. Speaking of that, flying over the territory, so the Pentagon, there's a new, apparently new, brand new high-altitude balloon. intercepted They think that this one is likely a hobby craft. And this was after they shot down the other one that was literally like a what wasn't it a high school? Kane, it was like a high school experiment, weather experiment.

The Pentagon says that the latest high-altitude balloon, it was a hobby craft, it wasn't a Chinese spy balloon. Yeah, that's all. Non-threatening balloon. It was intercepted. They said there was a fighter jet over Utah.

They had NORAD confirmed it. Is it that difficult to tell the difference between a spy balloon from a hobby craft? Seriously, I mean, as somebody who has no experience with Chinese spy balloons, I mean, I just think that it might be kind of obvious. Maybe I'm wrong.

Well, it's quite the hobby to be high altitude these days. I don't know what it takes to get high over Utah, but it already starts out at high altitude, and I think it goes up from there. My maths might add up on that. But it's also several thousand miles from China.

So, how do we know? And who is this hobbyist? Is it Joe Biden's friend Xi Jinping, who has a hobby of flying high-altitude things? Yeah, he's a hobbyist. That's a great point.

I don't know how we did it. But basically, as an American, and I speak for all Americans on this, I want no Chinese hobby balloons over our country. How about we just start there? Yes. I wanted to add this as well.

China's hitting out at sanctions, criticizing NATO over Ukraine.

So there's all, I think that there's a war over information right now because they had some people saying that Ukraine was going to get some F-16s and they would be able to bomb Russian assets, et cetera. Although apparently it was like a misquote from some leader who said that maybe they could get some planes, but didn't specifically say F-16s are from where. And China's said that they're not arming Russia. The companies that have been hit by sanctions, though, from the EU, Britain, and the U.S., their ambassador told the United Nations that the alliance should, quote, refrain from acting as an agent of trouble, instigating block confrontation. The irony of this, Stephen.

Well, you would think that China would just say shut up and would shut up and just say thank you if American F-16s were going to a theater other than Asia. Because that's actually where the F-16s should be going, where China has engaged in a massive. Air power escalation, and American policymakers in their infinite wisdom have held back. On the most advanced aircraft being sold to our allies in Asia in recent years. And so you would think that they would just.

You know, say thank you for sending our material to a different part of the world. But of course, I'm sure that Xi Jinping or whatever Chinese-speaking leader was crossing their fingers when they said that they were not arming or sharing armaments or whatever the jargon may be with Russia, because just every war zone America has found itself in in the last couple of decades, there have very obviously been Chinese armaments on the ground. Uh and so this is just one of those things where if their lips were moving, they probably were lying. Yeah. Well, which is kind of typical.

Going into the sanctions and everything else, I keep seeing World War III trending. I wanted to kind of get looking at like a 30,000-foot view of all of this because I know Russia and China do business together. I think that China's been helping Russia out from having their economy destabilized entirely, although China's economy isn't all that greater. But two weak entities does not a strong entity make. Knowing this and seeing all the scaremongering trends on social media, whether it's World War III or NATO and all this other stuff that you constantly have to have, what do they call them?

The fact checks on all of the posts that they have on X now. What should, like, give me, give it an example if you can. This is a weird question, of what kind of headline would sort of get your antenna up of being like, this is different. This news story is different. This might actually be a real escalation.

What kind of things may, like I said, kind of trip your antenna and that you look for and see as a little bit more than fear-mongering?

Well, if I started to see the flow of this collaboration of do no gooders going toward the Asian theater, I think that would be opening up a lot of questions. Because it's one thing, it's very, very easy for middle powers and disruptive powers to break things, to disrupt things, to cause problems. It's a lot harder to corral power and pull it to where you want it to be applied. And so it's easy for China to give some fuel and some material to Russia's conflict with Ukraine and Europe and America. It's easy to flow things in the Middle East and sort of stir up the hornet's nest there and just see where the chips may fall.

It's a lot harder to draw some of that power and material into a conflict where you've got a lot at stake in your own neighborhood. And so I try to look very, very closely at what's sort of the annoyances and the encroachments in East Asia, South Asia, and what are the things that might actually change some of the things. fundamentals and really lay the groundwork for something truly different. And I don't know that we'll get a lot of warning on that front, but that's, I think, what gives me the greatest concern. You know, to see China and Russia, Tehran, throw North Korea and why leave Little Rocket Man out doing bad things or trying to insulate against sanctions, I consider that to be dog bites man.

The other stuff starts turning back into man bites dog if it's coming back at East Asia. I think that's a really good point because they can't really handle that in their own neighborhood. It's a lot easier to throw rocks, you know, all the way, as you said, to the Middle East and that. But when that attention starts really shifting and the momentum, that kind of signals that they're ready for a little bit more. That is, yeah.

Yay, now we have some nightmare fuel. That's great.

Stephen Yates at YatesCom's always a pleasure. I hope that we don't have any interesting headlines for you next time because that means that we're not edging towards further escalation, but who knows? We always appreciate your insight though. You're the best. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Dana. Take care. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Welcome back to the program. I was reading, this is actually a hysterical story.

In fact, we were talking about all of it. I'm not going to say what it was. I'm not going to send Juan the thing so if he'll put it up on the simulcast. I'll get emails.

So this was in. This is funny. It's in Ireland, right? This is in Belfast. And there was Cain.

It's a stripper show of men for the ladies. For the lasses, you know. And uh These dudes who were performing an exotic show for these lasses in Belfast. Uh the women got mad. Because They were focusing more on their apparent athleticism and their Cirque de Soleil type acrobats, and the women didn't want to see that.

They were just like, nope, nah, just. Take your britches off. And I just think it's hysterical that they Got mad. Like that. And I had told you, Kane, I said, you know how, like, you got what do they call a bunch of seagulls together?

What do they call it? What a big old group of seagulls. What do they call? A a flock? A flock, yeah.

What do they what do they call a bunch of sheep? Uh herd? What do you call a bunch of women together? Um Nuts. It's nuts.

That's the correct answer, ironically enough. I just think it's hysterical. I just thought it was funny. It's true, you know it is, it's true. Oh my goodness.

So we got Michigan tomorrow. Does anybody care? Our primary is Tamari. Half of you didn't even know that. It's all right.

We don't want to know it either. Not that we have anything against it. It's just the story out of Michigan, I think, the media is burying is how horrible Biden is polling with the Muslim community.

Well, that's why they yeah, that's why they've they've done uh that's why he's been real weird about the stuff with Gaza. Exactly. That's why they want this bill to pass, because there's all these billions of dollars in here for Gaza.

So he can go to Michigan and be like, Hey, I look, I was giving it to Hamas. Because it's not for Gaza, let's be real. Hamas gets it. Because guess what? Hamas is the elected government of Gaza.

Hamas runs every facet of Gaza, from the hospital to the aid groups, everything. That's why the aid's not getting anywhere. People act like they haven't been given any money to this area this entire damn time. That's all they've been doing. Hamas literally takes it all.

They found all those kits that the UN had given over there for assistance, and they didn't get it to any of the people. The terrorists were taking it. They were taking it. Good night.

So it's like they act like nobody's ever given them any aid and that couldn't be further from the truth. That's all they've given people this whole time is aid.

So, but Biden needs to be able to go to Michigan and say, hey, look what I've done. That's also why he rolled back a lot of those requirements and a lot of these vehicle manufacturing with the air stuff and all that. He like paused a lot of those provisions from being implemented.

So it didn't hurt. that a different aspect of voter coming out of Michigan.

So, I don't know. It's it's kind of I mean, it's still early. in Michigan right now, but it it's neck and neck. You know, it is. It's just not I don't know.

I just it's just the whole thing is is at some point Keep in mind, the RNC has 8 million cash on hand. The DNC, what is it, 200 something million cash on hand? They've not even begun. They haven't even started. You just think that the primary period has gone on so long because Trump announced so early.

This is actually just like still the early phase of it. I've never seen a primary where it's wrapped up like this. This is just the early this is it just got started super super early. But uh yeah, in Michigan it's They're mm. Biden and Trump are within the margin of error for each other.

That's just the RCP average. I haven't looked elsewhere. But they're That is just that's just the the average.

So he's been he's been trying to do He's been trying to do some that's why I think Two, um The It would be helpful if he if he replaced Kamala Harris with Big Gretsch. Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan. Just saying.

Alright, we got more. We got uh today's stupidity.

Okay, well, Juan, this is Cut 23. This is America's favorite bartender, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This is her on the results of Bidenomics. She's not happy. Listen, rent in New York City, just like across the rest of this country, has gotten out of control.

Our housing crisis has Has gotten to such epic proportions that not just the poor, the working class, the middle class, upper middle class people can't even afford to live in the city anymore. If anyone is leaving, it is the actual people that make New York City work. It's the working class. That's interesting. I wonder why that is.

Everything that Bidenomics has ever done is Absolutely killed the working class. Oh, there you go. Yeah, thanks. Thanks, AOC. All right, folks, that does it for us today.
