Tuesday February 27 - Full Show

Well, I think when a horrible tragedy like this happens, I think whenever we're dealing with violent crime, there is a sense of outrage, of sadness, and of loss. But I think the important thing to focus on is any one instance shouldn't shape our overall immigration policy. I actually almost choked on my black rifle coffee. When I first heard that because That's uh Can you play the fun game? First off, welcome to the show.

Dana Lash here. You guys know how to listen to the program. Yes, I'm in another black shirt. It's all I own. Um This one's slate.

Yeah. Welcome to the show. Constr. My life. You can stream it across the country.

You can watch the video component, the simulcast, channel 347 DirecTV. All that good stuff. the discussion at YouTube.

Okay, so Katie Porter, Kim was playing a game. What party is she with, I wonder?

So amazing. Is she if you had a guess If she was a Democrat or Republican, What would you guess? Katie Porter's party affiliation is. Is she a Democrat? Maybe, perhaps.

and independent. Or is Katie? Order. A Republican. This is the question before you, Kane.

for no money. Oh, no money. I thought everything was on the line.

Well, it's sure. It's, you know what? We'll have some forgiveness of something. We'll take some money from someone else and give it to you.

Well, yeah. Whether there's no money or everything on the line, that's your answer, sir. That's some Democrat stuff right there. That is correct. Yes.

Ding, ding, ding. It is, she is a Democrat. You know, I mean, you just can't let this one little incident, this one dead girl, I mean, come on, let's ignore all the other dead girls. But you can't just allow this one dead girl. this one lawless Illegal alien who broke into the country.

That's like saying, after someone breaks into your home.

Well, you just can't let this one home invader. just determine all of immigration policy. I mean, you can't so your home was broken into one time. I mean, you're going to go get an alarm system. I mean, what's wrong with you?

You're going to let one home break in, one home invasion determine. I mean, gosh, are you just so narrow-minded? That's Katie Porter, by the way. Again, Katie Porter. Democrat.

out of California. After That's how she characterized. Lake and Riley. The student in Georgia who is brutally Murdered. Brutally.

Murdered. And I don't know if you saw the story because I feel like it's important to. illustrate how bad this is. Because the left, I feel like they don't get it unless you just shove it in their face. Even then, you still don't get it.

Now remember how I said she had been brutally beaten? And I kind of figured it was I figured it was this bad. New details came out yesterday evening. The illegal entrant from Venezuela. I hate how the New York Post immediately goes, oh, it's a Venezuelan migrant.

No, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. You're either here in the country illegally or you're not. If I go to anywhere else on God's green earth and I enter illegally, I'm going to be arrested. That's just the way it is.

I will be arrested. Bottom line. If I don't even have my documents on my person in a number of other countries, if I got stopped by the Italian police and I didn't have my documents, and I know somebody this happened to. It's their discretion. They'll detain you.

You could be here illegally. They do not put up with it.

So, this guy is an illegal alien. That is the legal term, and it's actually the legal term in a ton of other countries, in fact, almost all of them. in their own respective languages, from Venezuela, He beat her.

So Brutally. that he caved in part of her skull.

Now, I just want to set the stage for you. With us. Yeah. The affidavits that were made public. Beat her.

so badly. He bashed her skull in, literally. In fact, the affidavit said he, quote, did commit the offense of aggravated battery when he maliciously causes bodily harm to another by seriously disfiguring her body, or a member thereof, by disfiguring her skull. And then he dragged her dead body. to a secluded area.

Her family. is planning on having her funeral on Friday. And I can only imagine that the family is praying that If she is not cremated, that the Uh pe it'd have to be a closed casket. It would have to be a closed casket. I attended the funeral of someone some years ago.

there was in a really bad car accident near Same thing happened. I mean, it just crushed their skull, and they had to have a closed casket, and the family had been. hoping for an open one and they were told don't Get your hopes up. because this is it'll it's almost impossible to Uh make that appearance ready. to not cause great to not inflict great pain upon the loved ones during the visitation.

And I can only imagine what the family has to go through because I can only imagine because her skull she was beaten so badly, her skull was disfigured. That the family probably, unless they were told that this was their daughter, probably couldn't even recognize her. to cave in somebody's skull. And This guy This didn't have to happen at all. This is the price for the open border.

This is the price of Democrats open. Border. policy. And I hate starting off the show by being so. Uh detailed.

in such a manner? But Seriously, when are people going to understand that this has a cost? How many how many College kids have to be sacrificed.

So that Democrats can pretend that they act that they care about people because they just allow them to l come lawlessly in the border, uh across the border. The same Democrats that are like, Well, who's going to cook our meals? And I mean, that's what they said, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, all of them. That's the expectation they have for the lives of the people that they are welcoming across the border. in wave after wave.

Doesn't that sound like people who really care? Listen to them talk. Does it sound like people who really care about the lives of those coming across the border? I feel for this family. Because this didn't have to happen.

This was A murder. That was directly the result of someone being allowed to remain in this country despite the fact that they had been twice arrested. Despite the fact, That authorities knew that they were here illegally. And yet they release them anyway, quicker than Ice could put out a detainer. I mean, it's just it's so sad.

It really is heartbreaking. Except, you know, for the people who encourage and continue this policy.

Now in the meantime It's tomorrow that or sorry, Thursday that you have the President and former president who are going to be at the border. And I don't think I've heard Biden actually say one thing about this young woman who was so brutally murdered. I mean, or what about the other uh woman in California that had been brutally murdered, again, by an illegal alien? Or what about the young high school college athlete that had been brutally murdered again by an illegal alien? And then you have Katie Porter saying, well, it's just You know, I mean, you just can't let one instance of murder.

The woman that was in uh Kate Stele was the one who was that individual. Again, here Illegally. Had murdered Kate Stanley. And he had shot her in the back right through her aorta. And she was They're with her dad with a paramedic or or or on the pier before, and he was screaming for a paramedic.

He was sh they were sightseeing, she was with her dad. I mean, this is just On and on. The thing is, I could sit here probably for the rest of the hour and tell you these stories of these innocent people who have been brutally murdered by people who are in the country illegally. And it's just amazing to me that they think it's just one instance that Katie Porter can sit there. With her stupid face, and say that this is just one instance, and we shouldn't let one instance Shape.

Policy You get your head bashed in once. You get your skull caved. And then you have the audacity to tell people Katie Porter. That Oh, well, you should I shouldn't let this one instance determine how I'm going to think about my security. In my personal space, because that's what you're telling people.

She's telling this family that their daughter doesn't matter.

Well, screw your daughter and her caved in skull. That's what Katy Porter says here. What a disgusting human being. Why do they get the nastiest looking and nastiest countenanced people? sitting in these elected offices.

I I don't think I've ever heard anything so grotesquely. offensive from a sitting lawmaker. Then this from Katy Porter. She said, Oh, the situation is tragic and it's a loss, but it's important to acknowledge that. What is more important to acknowledge, Katie Porter?

Why don't you go have another hamburger and then come back and tell us what do you think's so important to acknowledge? This woman got her head bashed in. If I was her family, I'd be out for blood. If you want to get a More vigilanteism. If you want to get any vigilanteism, this is the best way to do it.

Because these lawmakers either better enforce the law that we taxpayers pay. for them to do. Or people will take care of it themselves, and I promise you, you're not going to like that last part. Especially when it's people who want to be left alone. By God, if you're not going to help them be left alone, they're going to make it to where you leave them alone.

This is ridiculous.

Now Biden says he's not copying Trump on the border visit. Did you see I he himself has not said a thing about it. He was at an ice cream parlor. He was uh in New York. He was on s one of the stupid late night shows that apparently only people over age 100 watch.

and he was getting ice cream and a reporter asked him, about the border trip. And he said, uh He really didn't have anything else to say. The why he had he had nothing else to say. Listen to this. This is him.

He's getting ice cream. He's just getting some ice cream. He's just letting the man eat his ice cream. For me, do I think? I've been planning to go Thursday.

What I didn't know is my good friend apparently is gone. And will you meet your microwave while you're there, Mr. President?

Well, I'm not going to announce ahead of time. Secret Service doesn't like me announcing a test. If you guys don't make sure I have a phone on the screen, I'm going to go ahead and do that. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

The statement that they released about the murder of Lake and Riley was quote We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Lake and Hope Riley. People should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty. Given this is an active case, we would have to refer you to state law enforcement and ICE. And that's it. That's the whole statement.

That's it.

Well, we know that he Was guilty of violating the law, not once, not twice, not three times, because he was here illegally, caught twice, and then he had also tried to. hurt a minor.

So we know that for a fact already. I don't know what else they're waiting for. But you know what? It's interesting how if you have a mass casualty incident, If you have a trans Biden voting terrorist that goes out there and shoots up a school a Christian school full of kids, oh my gosh, don't you dare rush to judgment. That's a local law enforcement issue.

That's what they usually say. Don't you dare rush to judgment. If it's someone that they think is, you know, a white male using an AR-15, oh my gosh, it's all your all's fault. If there is anything in the narrative that in any way showcases their bad policy for being exactly what it is, bad policy. then they can't comment on it.

Because, see, their extent of concern only extends as far. As it is advantageous to them. That's how heartless these people are. Katy Porter is a disgusting meat sack. I'm just floored.

A man was mulled to death by a lion because he intentionally jumped into a zoo enclosure in India. The lion got a free meal, and we got another lesson in natural selection. Apparently, it took all of 10 minutes for the lion to go up the dude at the zoological parks lion enclosure. This was last Thursday. Poor lion.

So, they better not have done anything to the lion. They said the guy appeared to be drunk. That's no excuse because if they did anything to the lion, then they should do something to the person who did something to the lion. Let's see here. A California library shut.

We had this already. This is an old one. New AI video tool by maker of ChatGPT has worried creators, has worried content creators. We've talked about this before as well. Also, the political gender grab, we've discussed this.

The Border Patrol Union had slammed Biden's border visit after endorsing a megawatt spending bill. By the way, after they endorsed it, we're going to talk about this in depth because they had endorsed this bill. I'm going to read you the statement coming up because it's a little bit long, but I'm going to read you the statement and getting to it. They had previously endorsed it.

Now they released this statement slamming it. Also, why was Chuck Schumer waiving? The commie flag. This is kind of a weird thing. I don't know if you saw this, but this is, there was a story of him holding a flag of communist China for some reason.

Everything sucks today, and I can't even open it. Let's see here. Yeah, he was at a press conference. This was something, it's a photo from a year ago that's like making its rounds. And so we kind of already dragged him over this, but it's making the rounds again, just FYI.

Apparently, the Chrissy Noam reportedly met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago during the keep to continue going on with the VP stakes. Iran has enough enriched uranium to apparently make three nuclear-grade weapons. Yeah, good job with that Iran deal. We had a really good job with that Iran deal. Yeah, there you go.

Let's see, the ceasefire, the ongoing discussion. Apparently, Israel and Hamas. Been having ongoing discussions about whether or not they're going to have a ceasefire. And that apparently, I guess we're going to have a decision by Monday. I don't even know why it's taking this long.

We had there was a ceasefire. Israel had a ceasefire on October 6th. We have more on the way, including deep diving into some of this latest with immigration. Also, we're going to have a government shutdown by Friday, and I kind of hope it happens. Stick with us.

Now, we the overwhelming number of migrants and asylum seekers that are here, they want to work. I still don't understand why the federal government is not allowing them to work. They need to have the right to work, like all of us that have come to this country had the ability to do so. But those small numbers that are committing crimes, We need to modify the sanctuary city law that if you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported. It is a right to live in this city, and you should be not committing crimes in our city of doing so.

Right now, we don't have the authority. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, Bottom of this First Hour. It should be a fairly serious crime. I was looking at some of the statistics on that.

I mean, when you obviously, when you compare. Crime committed by people who enter the country illegally and crime committed by people who enter the country illegally. There's literally no comparison because there's a greater, I mean, it's ridiculous. From DHS, DPS, I'm looking at all these figures, it's so much more. Obviously, for people who continued to enter illegally.

And then Texas DPS data shows separately the number of convictions and arrests of people who are illegal, citizens by way of being born here, citizens by way of coming here and becoming a citizen, illegal immigrants, et cetera. And the Conviction rates are quite different between each group. I mean, that doesn't really need to be explained. It's not surprising either. And this idea that there isn't a law that's broken until someone in the country illegally breaks the law.

Well, that's that's so goofy because that's simply just not That's a weird way of looking at it. That's an immediate crime to enter illegally.

So if you are breaking into someone's home And you're stealing things when you are you're entering the you're entering the country or you're entering the home illegally. That's like a whole other separate charge. Unlawful entry is a whole other charge, in addition to any other crime committed after you are unlawfully entering someone else's property or some private premises. That's a whole other charge.

So this is just, I mean, it's just, I don't. I think it's too little, too late. And also, how are you going to know? until someone commits the crime. The second crime.

How are you going to know until after they commit the second crime? I mean, that's my whole point. A lot of these, these. Horrific crimes are being committed. Because you're coddling the first illegal action and that criminal behavior.

That's kind of the way it is. I it it's I mean, it's sad. It's it shouldn't even have to be said like this. It shouldn't. But in the meantime, the statement from the President was so anemic.

I just they're not they don't take any of this seriously. I was looking, I was reading another account, and apparently it was a source close to the family. And they said that. Uh That the young woman, like and Riley, had visible injuries and it was clearly blunt force trauma, et cetera. And they were describing it as a crime of opportunity.

The guy just didn't even know her. He just was, he's just evil and violent. Georgia. I feel like We're um Republicans are so infuriating. Because We have a statement of Trump's statement compared to Biden's statement was a lot stronger.

But I would like to see a visit with the family or going to Georgia and talking to lawmakers or something. That needs to be remained at the forefront. Because we can't keep having Molly Tibbetts situations. We can't keep having Kate Steinley situations. We can't keep having Jameel Shaw Jr.

situations. I mean, it's just, it's so heartbreaking. I just feel so bad. Can you imagine? And I know we have other stuff to hit on, but that hit me, what she said.

What Katie Porter had said. Can you imagine? Being the parent. And you Hear this lawmaker, or you see a clip, or you see the headline. And your child.

Or your sister, or your fiancé, or your girlfriend, or your wife, or whatever. Your friend. Is Reduce down. to just another quote unquote instance. And what happened to her should not be used.

To influence enforcement of law. and Democrats' open border policy. I mean, I'm not I don't even know her. And I'm enraged. I p I guess it's just something else.

Something else.

Now, I'm sure everyone at this point saw the guy. Who self-immolated outside of the Israeli embassy? The raw the actual video came out. last night it was autoplaying all over Twitter. But, you know, I mean, that's it's kinda dumb that the guy chose to do that.

If you get my This might be mean to say. I just, this is a guy who. literally set himself on fire. And was was uh a f uh Pro-Hamas activists. I mean, when you're out there screaming, quote-unquote, free Palestine, it's a fictional country that has never existed in all of antiquity.

It's just, it's as much fantasy as saying that that country existed as it is as saying that the Rachel Levine dude who is with HHS and wants to pretend to be a woman, that he's an actual woman. It's the same thing. Did you Kane, did you see the email? newsletter this morning. I did.

And I did that last night. I set up the image in the caption last night. Was it too much? Don't show it, Juan. That's the actual dude.

One I could immediately tell these down like don't do it Mm-hmm. The um The guy And I don't know if you, how much you all have followed this, was in the Air Force, this Aaron Bushnell guy. And he literally set himself on fire, screaming. Free Palestine. And he like literally like doused himself an accelerant and set himself on fire.

And he was, he burned for like a minute before it was actually extinguished. And he was screaming, free. Palestine. That's what he walked up to the building and set himself on fire. He was a DevOps engineer based in San Antonio.

He was in his uniform, set himself on fire. Yeah. I have so many. He had like two anarchist groups. Apparently he was you know of that persuasion.

And he posted this kind of stuff. You know, on social media, he was a giant leftist. I mean, when you look at a social media post, I mean, it's not, you know. Uh And I just, what is the point? What is the point of him doing that?

It didn't It literally accomplished nothing. I put on the email newsletter.

Well, I guess he didn't see a shadow, so I guess it's an early spring. When you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. It's sad that this guy chose to do this to himself. For what purpose? Oh look, he free oh wait, he didn't.

They had someone in Atlanta, in Atlanta, it was a pro-Hamas protester, or they were screaming Free Palestine. They set themselves on fire. in Atlanta outside of the Israeli consulate. They said it was an extreme act of political protest. I mean, I don't know.

This is actually. Biden's in a weird spot. In having to deal with this, they are pushing him so hard on ceasefire stuff because of Michigan, because there is a sizable sizable era population in Michigan. That is very upset that the United States hasn't told Israel that they can't defend themselves against Hamas. And it sucks that people in Michigan support a terrorist organization.

Just the fact that they were elected. And enjoyed overwhelming popularity by the people who elected them doesn't make them any less of a terrorist group. And Hitler was elected too. Doesn't make them any less monsters. I just don't understand for the people who say the ceasefire stuff, again, go back October 6th, you had a ceasefire.

Why did they not want a ceasefire anymore? They had one.

So they had a ceasefire. They decided to FA, and then they FO, and now they want a ceasefire because they're FOing. It's not how that works. I mean, my entire adult life, we've had to deal with this. We've had to deal with Hamas and terror attacks by Hamas and rockets and suicide bombers and all of this other stuff.

I mean, at what point do people go, maybe the problem is Hamas? I mean, I get it. There are people, maybe there are people that Biden wants to reach out that are in particular communities in Michigan that just hate to Jews. I don't know, but I mean, get over it. They're not doing anything to you.

I I just can't stand that stupidity. I can't stand the stupidity. Stop it. Dearborn's Democrat Mayor Abdullah Hamid warned this week that Biden couldn't take the Arab vote for granted. And They said that they would vote non-committed.

Okay, bye. I mean, if you're going to debase yourself. To suck up to a terrorist group in a non-existing country. Then if That says more about you than it does the entire electorate of the United States. But they're really, he's really getting pushed on by the Rashida Tlaib and others.

They have this Listen to Michigan campaign. And they get they got their primary today, right? And so they're telling all the Arab American population to vote uncommitted.

So you can vote for other people, but just don't vote for Biden today. And The latest general, and again, this is without Democrats really spending any money, has him and Trump neck and neck, pretty much. And we're definitely within the margin of error of each in Michigan.

So he's having to, he's asked for Israel to produce a plan for evacuation of civilians. Before they assault Rafa, are these like civilian civilians? Are they the civilians that were housing hostages in Gaza? Are these civilian civilians? Or are these the civilians that were helping Hamas build tunnels underneath the hospital?

Are these civilian civilians, or are these the civilians that were seen in numerous videotapes of hostages when they were taken into Hamas's custody, spitting and hitting and kicking and punching the hostages, male and female, all on video that is all over the internet? I'm just kind of curious: like, what level of civilians are we talking about here? And also, are these the civilians that overwhelmingly voted for this terrorist government, knowing that they were literal terrorists and that it is in their actual written charter that's published and available on this thing called the internet that a lot of people use to make stupid videos and post on TikTok or post pictures of their godforsaken lunch on Instagram that you can actually find? Their charter and read it, and it actually states that they don't recognize Israel's right to exist as their neighbor. I mean, are we talking about the civilians that voted knowingly overwhelmingly in 2006 for that and that overwhelmingly supported them for the entirety of the decade plus after?

The civilians that not only supported them overwhelmingly but also supported them so overwhelmingly that they were actually going to erase any remnant of FATIS control in West Bank? Are we talking about those civilian civilians? Are we talking about other civilians? And why are so many people so rat-ass scared to say this? Asinine.

And so they posed they had this They They said that Uh the Told Israel that any plans they had to construct any other houses in the West Bank were inconsistent with international law. I mean, why are you telling them where to build stuff? You can't even build a wall here. Why are you telling anybody else what they can build in their own territory? They put all these sanctions on a handful of Israelis that they said, you're attacking.

Palestinians and non-existent people in a territory that's not really occupied, but we're going to say that phrase because we think it scores us points with the Hamas terrorists. I just really don't care about the good opinion of dogs that like. stick grenades in women's genitalia. and cut their their breast off while they're gang raping them. I don't really care about their good opinion and I don't care about the good opinion or welfare of anyone who supports them.

Bidenomics went over like a lead balloon. Ahead of Biden's State of the Union address, he plans to address shrinkflation while blaming grocery store chains for gouging its customers.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I think there will be a sizable number of votes for uncommitted. I think that it is every person's right to make their statement about what's important to them. And we know that the Arab community, the Palestinian community, the Muslim community, those are not all one in the same. There's a lot of pain.

There's a lot of pain in our Jewish community too. Hmm. Uh What what do you mean pain in what do you mean pain in the? community there. I mean, I understand the Jewish community, especially people who have family that were killed or targeted or held hostage in the terror attack.

That's big gratch. Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer. who I think is between her and Newsome. Those are the Plan B's and C's for Democrats. But she's saying she's talking about the uncommitted aspect that we were just hitting.

That's where we're at in today's. politics. They're even too afraid. to call out. Biden, or to call out their to say, look, it's a terror attack.

I mean, I'm You had a terrorist attack by the elected government of a non-existent country. that is col uh colonizing a strip of land there by the Mediterranean, and they are. And You're saying that What what is there to what hurt feelings are you talking about? Hurt feelings, you're upset that Hamas did that to people, that they started all of this stuff. Because Hamas did.

There's no hurt feelings to be had over Israel defending itself, it's hurt feelings over what Hamas did. I hope they all absolutely burned. torturously in hell. A masse. And all the people who support them.

I'm just, I can't believe that you have an entire party in the United States that's being. Held up. They're too afraid to actually really call out a terror group. That's what this is. It's it is just stunning to see this.

I'm going to be curious to see. Uh how this uh How this pans out in Michigan because they're having their primary. Today And there are a majority in Dearborn. I was looking at this. Looking at the story.

There They are a I mean, it's kind of interesting, they're they're a huge voting block. N Dearborn, Michigan, And that's apparently, I mean, they, NPR credits that. voting block with helping to turn Michigan to Biden in twenty twenty. And this is why it's so complicating. for Democrats right now.

They do not know how to handle. This This whole situation. And then, of course, you know, you also have to handle the situation of the people who are trying to spin it as any criticism of Hamas is, and this is what blows my mind, is a criticism of all air. What in the world? Not every Arab supports a MOS.

I mean, that's how you had Fata. Fatah and and and Hamas had two different charters, two different belief sets. I mean, it's not much better, but. Come on. We have more on the way.

We have our second hour coming up. And I don't know if you saw this. If you're a subscriber to my newsletter or chapter in verse, then you definitely did. Because in Virginia's government yesterday, the lieutenant governor hurt feelings because she called a man sir. We're going to talk about this.

or you can acknowledge that we've got to look for a life raft. I am telling you, there will be a female president of the United States. It will either be me or it will be Kamala Harris. Guys, this is not like an award-winning point. This is not a winning point here.

If I'm that's not a way to I don't wanna I want to vote for that. I just I don't I don't I don't want that. That's terrifying. Welcome back to the show. Daniel Lash with you, top of this.

Second hour. I heard some of you mentally scream: No, make it stop, make it stop. I heard you. Uh you can listen coast to coast, you can stream the radio program as well, and uh you can also follow along the video. Uh portion.

channel at 347. Uh direct T V and you can also fo also Facebook YouTube. Facebook YouTube is where the discussion is.

So that's some of the ladies. They got the primary. She's not going to do anything in the primary today. It's all settled at this point. The only thing I'm actually watching for.

In this Uh primary is the Issue with How dem what's going to happen with Democrats and how Biden performs voter enthusiasm with Democrats in Michigan? Because we've been talking about last hour, he's been having a little bit of an issue. And We'll see how that goes. But that's really it, 'cause it's pretty much I mean, it's kinda subtle at the you know, at this at this point. Democrats can only hurt themselves.

It's a tough. It's tough for them to try to navigate that because they, this is what happens when you make yourself beholden to identity politics. Because now Now you're at the mercy of identity politics. It's uh it's the truth.

So I wanted to get in. I got to set this up. I was switching gears here. Speaking of identity politics, I wrote about this last night. And This has to do.

With Virginia.

So you've got some Virginia, the Virginia State Senate. They were in the chamber yesterday. And I can't remember what it was, and this isn't important, I can't remember what it was that they were discussing, but. Winsome Earl Sears is the lieutenant governor. She offended.

the far left. because she referred to a male lawmaker as Sir And I think we have some of that audio. Yeah, 17. Audio sound by 17. This is the Listen, this is the exchange.

The senator may state it. Madam President, how many votes will be, would it take to pass this bill with the emergency clause? That would be four-fifths, Senator. And what would be the exact number for that, Madam President? Yes, sir.

That would be 32. And then the senator that she said yes, sir, to storms out of the chamber. The question is: shall the bill pass? Those in favor of that motion will record their votes. Aye.

Those opposed, no. Are the senators ready to vote? Of all the senators. I am not here to upset anyone. This is her response.

I am here to do the job that the people of Virginia have called me to do. and that is to treat everyone with respect and dignity. I myself have at times not been afforded that same respect and dignity. But in this body, and as long as I am president, the Senate And by the grace of God. I will be treated with respect and dignity, and I will treat everyone else with respect and dignity.

So, this is Virginia's Lieutenant Governor Winston-Earl Sears. She offended, the people she offended were the trans activists, because she referred to a male lawmaker as sir, and the male lawmaker in question is Democrat Danica Roeham, who identifies as a female and is an elected member of Virginia's Senate. And when He was referred to as sir, and you could tell the public radio in Virginia. You can tell that these are like the remedial singular brain celled. products of cousin loving incest because They characterize this as oh, well, uh, Lieutenant Governor Winsom Sears, she said it with.

They try to act like she put emphasis on the word sir.

Now, you've heard it, I played it for you. I listened to this audio several times. She was literally looking at papers and the votes coming in, and she is just. Like in she's she's talking here hearing from different senators and and like going through she was too busy doing her damn job to sit here and try to sir. She just said yes, thank you, sir.

That's it.

That's all she did. That's people trying to they're trying to bully this black lieutenant governor and trying to make her bend the knee. And I noticed it was a bunch of chubby white progressive beta, probably not even baby girl boys that were writing about those at Virginia Public Radio. Yes, I'm making fun of everyone because they absolutely deserve it.

So She you had uh the senator storm out of the chamber, right? And then They Democrats who control the Senate, they halted all business. They halted all business. And they were trying to make Earl Sears apologize. And she says, We're all equal under the law.

I apologize. And I would hope everyone would understand there's no, she didn't actually apologize, apologize. And Rome wasn't owed an apology either. Who are you to sit here and demand that a woman bend a knee to you, sir? You know, women Republicans supported this.

This is why I always say the patriarchy is progressive. Go and look. And who supported women's suffrage and who didn't? Go and look. You go and look, and you come back, and you tell me who supported women's suffrage and who didn't, because it sure as hell wasn't Democrats.

They were the ones who fought against it. They always have been on the wrong side of every issue all throughout history. Whether it is slavery, whether it is the genocide of indigenous populations here in the United States, or Whether it is women. Voting. And being able to, you know, not have to go to the poorhouse if they don't have any ill relatives once their husband passes.

Democrats have always opposed that. They were the ones who were out there bullying the suffragettes. They were out there bullying Susan B. Anthony and terrorizing her. It was Democrats.

So now women Because of Republican chivalry. We're able to actually have that I mean, we can we can be able to to to have our voices that we can have taxation with representation. How about that? And so, no, we're not going to go back to those days and have our speech stolen from us by the progressive patriarchy once again. No, Rome wasn't owed an apology.

I wanted to share with you this woman. Her name is Patricia Stevens. She's a trans activist and she was lobbying for women and gender studies, which is a stupid humanities course of examination that just complains about men. That's all it is. It's one of the stupidest courses you could ever waste your money on in higher ed.

And the she said that she didn't think it was fair. That Winsome Sears used as an excuse for misgendering someone. Misgendering isn't a real offense, it's a make-believe term that is pulled from the ether by activists who desperately want some sort of leverage in the self-victimization games. There is zero. Offense in recognizing and verbalizing scientific fact.

End of And the uh Beta Boys over at Virginia Public Radio. They said that This is how they described it. They go couching her apology in victimhood did not work. They were actually had the Audacity and complete Apparently self-unawareness. Just say that They characterized The Lieutenant Governor's response as couched in victimhood.

I It's pretty amazing. That's how they counter it. Rome wasn't an apology, but have you noticed that if it's a competition between a white man versus a black woman, usually, you know, the Democrat rules. went out. for the most part.

But the white man wins with the left if he's trans. You can be a dude and be as abusive. To any woman, as you want to, if you're actually if you're progressive, you can be, especially if you're trans. I just find that dynamic entirely weird. Because imagine if Roam was a Republican.

Just a Republican dude. And Earl Sears was A female, black female Democrat lieutenant governor. Oh my gosh, they would be up in arms because of the. Identity, politics, and party affiliation. But you flip it, and somehow he wins the victimhood stakes because he's trans.

They trashed, they were really ignorant to win some Earl Sears when she was running. Just the horrible, actually, legitimately progressive racist things that they said. And I say progressive because that's where it originates. She didn't owe anyone an apology. There was no, if anybody needs to apologize, it's Rome apologizing to her.

You don't get to storm out because someone doesn't affirm your false fantasy self-perception. You don't get to Hijack. The Awareness of reality that we as women have of science and gender. You don't get to storm out and demand. That we give up our right to acknowledge reality, that we give up our right to free speech.

To affirm Your lie. Romos everyone an apology. He is owed no apology. The demand of an apology in this instance comes at the expense of a right. The right of a woman.

or a man, really. To exercise scientific truth in discourse.

So, when they tell you you have to affirm their pronouns, when they tell you you have to affirm their false self-perception, they are demanding you forfeit a right. And it is a civic responsibility to refuse. It is a scientific responsibility. To refuse. It's a responsibility to your own self.

To refuse. So good on Winsome Sears. And that's storming out and acting like a victim hood. That don't work that don't work on me. It don't work on most ladies out there either.

But see again, that's a man cosplaying as a woman, playing up the sexist characteristics that he attributes to women. Have you noticed it's sexist? Uh uh Cosplay. It's like a sexist caricature playing up These different indicators Because that's what they attribute to being female. It is the most sexist Theatre what a woman is that I can imagine.

Cosplaying as a woman when you're a man.

Now we have headlines on the way. And then The Border Patrol Union is now mad at the Biden border visit. This comes days after Brandon Judd, the head of the Border Patrol Union, endorsed the bill that Biden's going there to promote.

So I know. I think he's hearing from some of the members. We're going to talk about that and more. We have more on the way as we get moving, and our partners that help bring you free radio. It's our friends over at Black Rifle Coffee.

This actually cracks me up.

So this was in Scotland in Glasgow Police were called to a venue last weekend because furious families apparently spent hundreds of dollars worth pounds on the Willie's chocolate experience.

Okay, so it was like a Willy Wonka like factory thing. You think it's, it sounds cool, right? Like there's a lot of cool stuff you could do. It was charred, it was organized by House of the Illuminati. They promised an immersive experience based on the film.

And they promised giant mushrooms, candy canes, chocolate fountains, and dancing oopa loompas. And then, when families turned up, they discovered a sparsely decorated, half-empty warehouse with some plastic props, a bouncy castle, and backdrops pinned on the walls. And there was also apparently like a very deflated-looking, fully grown woman who's dressed as an oopalumpa, who was like serving stuff from behind a bar. That's pretty much all it was. That's like, and they actually had to shut it down like halfway after it started.

Because not even halfway after it started, because people were so mad over it. I mean, yeah, if you're spending that kind of money, I mean, my gosh. Let's see. Alec Baldwin's trial date for the shooting death, because remember, he shot and killed his cinematographer, is expected for this summer. They say it's going to last nine days.

It's for the Rust shooting, and it's coming sooner than he might expect. And it's going to go on, yeah, about 10 days. It'll kick off on July 10th. And so that should be interesting. I think he actually thought he was going to walk on this.

Warring Mexican cartels are wiping tourists off the face of the earth as they start to move into resorts.

Now, I was reading, there was like a shooting that took place. It was a cartel war that was in Tulu. That's uh, it was like right in Tulum, which was a like really popular with tourists, and there's apparently like a lot of archaeological sites to visit.

Now, tourists are being told not to go to those. But Mexican drug cartels, they're trying to assert dominance over an 80-mile stretch of territory, which unfortunately includes a lot of resorts. And yeah, so Tulum, I think like the whole Quintanaroo area. I don't know, just a little sketchy right there because of that cartel war. A man bit an officer's leg after he stole a car at a Walgreens.

I thought it was this was a dog story at first, but it's not. It's an actual full-grown dude. It took place in Nebraska. Cops showed up to a Walgreens. A 26-year-old named Michael Dixon had stolen a car, left it running, crashed in all kinds of other cars.

They struggled. He bit an officer in the leg.

So we got an additional charge for that. Stick with us. We got more in store. 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.

Can you give us a sense of when you pick that C-file start, Sir?

Well, I hope by the the beginning of the weekend. I mean the end of the weekend. At least my national security advisor tells me that we're close. We're close. It's not done yet.

And my hope is by next Monday we'll have a ceasefire.

Okay, thank you.

So this was Biden responding to reporters who were asking him about the potential of a ceasefire. And Hamas was like, uh-uh. Hamas said, no, there isn't one. We're not anywhere in the territory of an agreement. That's that's what they told him.

I mean, he's audio 7 by 3. He kept doing it. He kept like: listen to this, listen to this one. He's talking on behalf of Israel. There is a path forward with difficulty, but here's the path forward.

Look, first of all, there are the hostages being held must be released. And if we've got at least a principle of agreement, there will be a ceasefire while that takes place. Ramadan's coming up, and there's been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan as well in order to give us time to get all the hostages out. That gives us time to begin to move in directions that a lot of Arab countries are prepared to move in. For example, Saudi Arabia is ready to recognize Israel.

Jordan, Egypt, there's six other states I've been working with Qatar. And the bottom line is that I'm not, I think the only way Israel ultimately survives, and I make no bones about it, I get critical. He's lying his butt off in this soundbite. He is lying. First off, he's lying about Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia, their foreign ministry, said explicitly in a statement that they are not going to have any kind of agreement.

They're not going to have no diplomatic relations at all whatsoever with Israel unless Israel recognizes a quote-unquote non-existent state that's never existed in all of antiquity, a Palestinian, quote-unquote, Palestinian state.

Now, that state comes with Hamas as its elected government. That's not going to happen. And they want, and Saudi Arabia is dictating, they're trying to dictate terms.

Now, here's the problem. The. Elected government of the state that Saudi Arabia wants to be recognized as its own entity refuses to recognize Israel as its own state. Saudi Arabia didn't say anything about that in their statement.

So do you see how this is a stalemate? Biden is lying. He thinks you're too stupid to pay attention to stuff like this.

Furthermore, the problem is is made worse. When you Hamas has said no, there's not any kind of agreement or anything in place. Hamas doesn't want to do anything unless Israel fully withdraws, and Israel cannot afford. to keep any remnant of Hamas in place, to engage in more October seventh style. terrorist massacres.

They can't. I mean, they had a ceasefire on October 6th, and Hamas violated it, just like the ceasefire they had before that, and the one before that, and the one before that.

So they're lying about this entire situation. And this is Biden trying to, I think this is him trying to tread water. And get Michigan on board. Make it look like, again, triangulation, make it look like he's appealing to both without actually really doing anything. Because they really can't pressure Israel.

All that much. And why would you? That would be like somebody pressuring the United States in the wake of 9-11, or don't be so mean to Japan after Pearl Harbor. It's no. But he This is about him.

And his success not just You know, with the primary, but to not be run out of his own party. more so than it is about Israel or anything else. I mean, it's, you can't sit here and demand. that Israel basically comm that they commit Sepuku. To make it more convenient for your reelection.

You can't demand that. And that's what Biden's actually trying to demand. And they can't do that. And none of these other countries if Saudi Arabia thinks that Palestine, which is non-existent and has never existed, should exist as a state, they should have no problem taking in some of those refugees, huh? Ask them why they haven't.

Why isn't Saudi Arabia taking any of these refugees in? You know, they think they should be their own state and all. Why haven't they taken any of the refugees in? Don't you think that you should be able to demonstrate a willingness to accept refugees from your own neighbors in that particular part of the world of which the Arab League is responsible before you start dictating terms to the people that they committed a terrorist attack against? I just feel like that, you know.

I just feel like that. Don't you think that at the very least they should demand that the government that they want to keep existing recognize its neighbor to the north? If they expect to be recognized themselves. But see, Saudi Arabia didn't actually include those details or that request in their initial demand about recognizing the existence of a state that's never existed in all of antiquity. They've they didn't do that.

That's why I think it should be disregarded as not a serious proposal, nor should any proposal from any other country that makes such a stupid suggestion and then also refuses to take itself any refugees.

So I I I just it that's They have Hamas was like, oh, Biden's comments are premature. I mean there are many he You're all he's allowing himself to be made look stupid by terrorists. Who stole Pipes for the water supply to turn into bombs. Like Those people he's allowing to make him look goofy. And I think part of this is because the people advising him, they're I think that they're at o at odds with each other.

They don't know how to deal with this situation. It's tough for them and everyone's trying to kiss Michigan's butt. They they're trying to keep Dearborn's population happy. At the expense of what? World peace?

This is so stupid. Isra I it you sh you shouldn't expect A country that has been attacked to not defend itself. And then recognize the government that literally has as part of that's, and that's the reason why Hamas was more popular than Fatah. Because fata I mean, it's the lesser of two evils, I guess. It's just such a lame way to put it, but At least they were prevailed upon to recognize Israel's right to exist, where Hamas said, pound sand.

It's not going to happen. And they enjoyed immense popularity. That's why they suspended elections in the West Bank, because Hamas was going to take over. I mean, they kind of have already, just formalities, the election. They didn't want to be run out.

So The problem is not look if if Hamas wanted peace All they would have to do is stop murdering people. And lay down their arms. If Israel laid down their arms, they would get obliterated again. That's all there is to it.

So he's lying. I can't believe he said that about Saudi Arabia. I cannot believe he said that on national television on What's His Face. Who's that guy, Seth? What's his face?

Myers? Yeah, that guy. The Great Valley version of Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, yeah. Right, he's like the less funny Jimmy Fallon.

Yeah. I can't believe that he just lied about that. I mean, they literally said no Israel ties without recognition of Palestinian states. And maybe he confused them because the agreements establishing relations and recognition of them, that it's the Arab the four of the Arab league countries. It's Bahrain, it's UAE, it's Sudan, and Morocco.

Those are the Arab league countries that have recognized. their existence and right to it.

So that's it. But that was from their top foreign minister. He said this on January 6th.

So, Biden's lying there.

Someone needs to brief him. He's lying or he forgot. Or he just, do you honestly think, come on, he thought that Sisi was the president of Mexico and that the southern border was like over by Egypt. He's all confused. And um He Do you think he knows the the Arab League countries that have actually No, he doesn't.

To him there's too many. Yeah. I don't know. That's just the situation. This is wild.

All right, a couple of other things. Kane, have you ever you don't play video?

Well, you do. You never played Borderlands, though, did you? No, I never did. I did see it played, though, plenty of times. This, um, I was watching, they came out.

If you haven't played it, it. It's a horribly woke game that got woker and dumber. And it wasn't super bad until. Like the last iteration. when they're main good guy character was A rainbow unicorn literally called Butt Stallion.

And it's like a company that's based in Texas, and they're super far left. But it was really cool gameplay. I mean, it was like, you know, an open world. It was really, you know, really cool gameplay. And we were having this conversation in our household the other day because borderlands, imagine Occupy Wall Street.

and Hamas coming together. And ruling the desert, and that's borderlands. Like, that's kind of what it is. Like, it's this. They and Kate Blanchett's in it.

And I was shocked actually that Jamie Lee Curtis. Actually, the biggest thing that shocked me was Kevin Harts. casting in this film. Because Kevin Hart, I play this game. And it was, you know, it was fun until I got super woke.

But basically, you go in and you're part of a crew and you're fighting against these like. But I mean Bas they're like domestic terrorists, you know, these borderland in borderlands, they're like domestic terrorists essentially. At little factions of terror groups. And you, it's, you know, it's like space age, et cetera. And you hop to different, you can hop to different planets and things like that.

But um This guy, Roland, the character, he's like this big, you know, special ops dude, and Kevin Hart plays him. And I love Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart's one of the funniest people ever. He could just literally read ingredients off a mac and cheese box, and he would make it hysterical, and I would laugh to death. But I cannot see him in this character 'cause Roland is is like a serious Serious dude.

He's very serious and he's stoic and he's huge. And then I see all these I was watching the trailer and Kate Blanchett's character. She plays this character, Lilith, towers over him. But I don't know. Like, I don't know if it's gonna be.

I think if they make it as woke as the game, it's not going to get, they're not gonna. I think Tiny Teen is too old. The chick who plays Tiny Teen in this game is way too old. But I think if they make it like the game was, they're going to lose people because it's going to be so woke. I don't think people understand.

This video game was woker than any film. The last iteration of it, the Tiny Teen is like Wonderland Adventure or whatever, was the wokest stuff I've ever seen. And then one of their nights was trans. I'm not kidding anymore. Like, I stopped playing it.

I'm like, I can't even deal with this. The gameplay is fun, but I can't. But if they make it anything, and Jack Black's in it. Anything like the game. It will be woker than anything that has ever been on.

I don't see anything that's woker than this.

So we'll see. I don't know. But. I don't know if I'm going to watch it. Gina Kershawn's in it.

She's fantastically cast. I think Jack Black's a good cast. Kate Blanchett, I think, is well cast. Kevin Hart's great. I'm going to see how that goes.

But you're familiar with it, though, Kane. You've seen it. I think they're gonna downplay all the wokerate just to make it more palatable. I hope so. On the silver screen.

Because it's like, why would you, that's what I understand about a lot of the woke stuff. Like you're running off a significant portion of Of your audience that is starved for entertainment and they would gladly pay money to go see something that's just entertaining. What do you think the Top Gun did so well? Like the movies that don't preach about this stuff and shove it in your face, they do so fantastically well. And I know y'all like making money, don't pretend that y'all don't.

They're capitalists. They pretend otherwise. They wait until they get wealthy enough and then they pretend to be socialists because socialism is the indulgence of stupid wealthy people. I don't know. I don't know what I'm keeping an open mind, but I don't know what I think about this.

I don't know what I think about the game. But Kate Blanchett looks good, and her casting is Lilith. All right, anyway, we got more on the way. I had this conversation with somebody the other day because. I'm a casual game player and I think it's like a Rorschach test how people play video games.

Ladies, before you ever marry a dude, play a video game with him. And, dude, same thing. You might think it's weird. Actually, go on a road trip with her first, drive with her, or play a video game with her. Because all of her worst tendencies are going to come out during those two spans.

And guys will come out during, you're going to see how smart your dude is if he plays a video game, how well he can strategize.

Okay, one last quick story. Because I was playing Dark Tide. Uh, the other night, and I got stuck into a rando group of chicks that were it was like herding kittens. None of them, dark tide, you have like four classes. And if you have an evenly balanced group, you have to have to play with three other people.

Uh, then you, your, your chances of winning of doing well on the mission and achieving your objective go astronomically up. Um, but if the people are stupid and they can't play their characters well and they don't understand their class or strategy, then it's a nightmare. And I was with a bunch of rando chicks, and I just wanted to beat them all. I, it was like Leroy Jenkins on steroids with three of them. Then the other day, I was in a group with some rando dudes, and I'm like, okay, you know, yes, I'm sexist.

I'm like, yeah, it's probably, okay, it's a dude. It's probably going to play. Oh my gosh, no. And I'm positive one of them was a squeaker that grew up to be a male, like an adult male squeaker with a deeper voice, but he still sounded just like a, he was so mad, like, couldn't had to get revived like five times. Like, I am a chick and I was playing the psycher class.

I was a glass cannon. I should not be reviving. you five times. What's wrong with you? On a four level?

What's the matter with you? Anyway, okay. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida man.

All right, so I had this yesterday, but we ran out of time because in Florida, There is I've never gators when they run, man, they are terrifying. I don't know if there's anything more frightening than a gator that goes off like a goose. And that's what this is happening at this Florida. golf course. They're uh Players Are having to dodge an angry gator who has been terrorizing people.

On this golf course, you know, Kane, what I was looking at on the video that Juan's showing on the simulcast, there is a legit house in the background right there. There is. Right there. All the skater's got to do is just go around that little pond, and he's at that house. He could actually go through the pond.

He could go through the pond. He didn't even know. This is why I'm telling you, you cannot trust a singular body of water. And Florida? That thing is oh my gosh, I don't like that.

Don't you?

Okay, now is the our gators the one that if it's chasing you, you got to zigzag, zigzag? Yes. Like, how big are the zigs and zags? Are we talking? I don't know, a few feet I guess, couple steps.

Okay, I was just curious. I did not know that. It was actually, I think it was a. You've never had to run from one, have you? No, but It's like one of those things where I want to know how to get out of quicksand.

I want to know how to not be on fire. If I'm on fire, I don't even think I would think to stop, drop, and roll. I feel like, yeah, all of the stuff that we learned in school about, you know, stop, drop, and roll. Why? Seriously, sidebar, why did we learn that?

I feel like there's some conspiracy there. The best way to expect all of us school kids to be set on fire? I'm just curious. It's possible. Because they don't do that anymore.

Second thing was quicksand. Didn't you think you were going to be in quicksand a whole bunch? Like you wanted to know how to get out of quicksand, right? It doesn't happen often, but the chance is. This is what I'm talking about.

Do they teach Florida kids how to dodge gators in school? Like, stop, drop, and roll, but zigzag, zigzag. They should. I'm just saying, I got questions. I got so they're ha they have to get Florida fish and wildlife out to get this thing.

That's how serious it is. Also, a um. A Florida man was accused of breaking into a car at a commission meeting when you have law enforcement there, like literally. And it was the city manager's car that this 33-year-old guy, Mark Byram, was trying to break into. He was so arrested.

Stick with us, our third hour's on the way. All jokes aside, according to recent polling, this is a real concern for American voters. How do you address that concern going forward as you come up to the 2024 election?

Well, a couple things. Number one, you got to take a look at the other guy. He's about as old as I'm, but he can't remember his wife's name. Yeah. Number one.

You thought your sister lived your life. It's about how old your ideas are. Look, I mean, this is the guy who wants to take us back. He wants to take us back on Roe v. Wade.

He wants to take us back on a whole range of issues that are 50, 60 years they've been solid American positions. And I really mean this sincerely. I think it's about the future. And every single thing we've done, I think we've gotten some good things done. Everything, and they told us we couldn't get them done because things were so divided.

And but I think everything's everything we've gotten done. He's Just friendly stated he wants to do away with if he gets elected. What? What friendly state? What the hell is he talking about?

This friendly state he wants to do away with this friendly state What is he talking about? Did I miss something? But him most of all. Welcome. It's Dana Lash here with you.

Top of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast stream the radio program. Channel 347, Direct T V. Did he have a point with this story? Who's on with uh Seth Myers?

The guy who is the unfunny boring version. Unfunnier. Jimmy Fallon's funny.

Sometimes he's funny. I don't dislike him. He's not, he doesn't seem mean-spirited. Seth Myers just seems. I think if you're going to be mean, and partisan, then you should balance that out by being actually funny.

And I don't think he is. I just don't think he's funny at all. And I don't I and what is Biden talking about? Like, do we live in a friendly state right now? He was literally asked how he gets people reassured about his old age and then he goes on This tangent proving that he's suffering from old age.

Let me show you how much I'm not suffering from old age by showing you that I'm suffering from old age. proceeds to do exactly that. Yeah, he forgot. He was on stage with his wife and he forgot his wife's name. Biden.

Yes. I w we there was on video we talked about it. I remember it clear as day. I don't know what he's talking about here. I've seen Democrats try to do that too.

Well, Trump is old and he is forgetting things too. Or how about we just all agree to like maybe is it Gen X's turn yet? Can it be Gen X's turn? What? Why'd you make that face?

Okay, what? That was a visceral reaction. They don't want Gen X to have a turn. La la la la la. Why is that Kane?

There's this meme, here's why. Hang on. Let me pull this up. I wasn't gonna do this, but. Uh did you ever I think I'm I read this once before.

But maybe this is why they don't want Gen X. It said someone posted this online. I don't mess around with anyone over 42. They're built different. Their families had them formally trained in something by the time they were two.

They had keys to the house by age five. They could cook full meals at seven. And they were pretty much self-sufficient at nine. They left their house at dawn every summer morning and didn't come back until nightfall and survived all day on water from garden hoses. They might get a sandwich on the off chance that somebody's parents had gone shopping.

They spent three-quarters of their lives by themselves with the parent, maybe checking on them twice a month. Most of them have evaded at least one kidnapping attempt, and they know 15 different ways to remove bloodstains from clothing. They're the real FA and FO people. And as Kane and I were talking, we totally did evade. We're pretty sure both of us evaded a kidnapping attempt at one point.

Yeah, I'm pretty positive, yeah. And I think that this is like the. Can you imagine having like an actual Gen X person, like a real Gen X person? That they watched the Gen Z Oh, wait, isn't Gen Z getting it in with the alpha babies? The alpha babies are coming to age now.

I don't even know who the hell all these people are. We just stay out and watch everything. Watch, eat snacks and stare. It's what we do. But Gen X watches the boomers and millennials and Gen Z and the Alpha people, whatever.

all fight with each other. Because everybody forgets about Gen X. It's the latch key generation. Everybody forgets it. Even now, they forget about Gen X.

It's it's maybe that's the way Gen X likes it. But Gen X also there there's a significant part of Gen Z that's actually legit, and that's because Gen X raised them. I think some of the old Gen Z and millennials are boomers that had kids way late. That's what I think. Yeah.

The gen the Gen X just wants to be left alone, right? They just want to be left alone. They don't want to be bothered. They don't want to be bothered by anybody. They just want to be left alone, just like you left them alone when they were latchkey kids.

all those hours. all those days. all those weeks, months and years. I learned by watching you. I mean, I think I I want to see that.

I'm tired of like, your president's old and decrepit. No, yours is. old and decrepit. Jeers is forgetting things. No, yours.

This is. Are you tired of that stuff? It's like, who's You've got the more feeble guy. Look, he can barely walk. That I just Tired of it all.

Although it I mean, you should not fall upstairs. I will say that. Like, falling down them is one thing. By the way, today's the anniversary of that movie Fallen Down coming out. Is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it came out Uh for 110 million years ago. It was old when I saw it. Like, I didn't see it in the theaters. It was old when I saw it.

Hold up. It was nineteen ninety. Yeah, I didn't see in the theaters. I would not have been allowed into a rated R film like that. Uh but Yeah, so there you go.

Look at that. It's a real feeling. I'm just going to say, it's a real feeling.

So anyway. I think I'm gonna rewatch that. Yeah, I mean there's a part of it. It's been a while. I mean he At what point were you watching the movie Falling Down?

If you're unfamiliar with it, it's Michael Douglas. And he loses. Yeah, Michael Douglas and he loses his mind. He's fighting with his wife. He seems like he's a jackwagon.

Let's not celebrate the guy as like an innocent dude, right? he's going through a tough divorce or he's divorced from his his ex and they're, you know, they got a tough thing. And he's just trying to see his kid on her birthday. And he just loses his mind. It's like a death by a thousand paper cuts, and today was the day, right?

And he loses it, and he's in LA. And so everything that could happen that go I mean, he gets mad and he ends up busting up this convenience store. At what point, Kane? Did you did you think Maybe that's a little too far. Yeah, like almost right away.

But I think I think now... Because it's literally been years since I've seen this movie. I mean, years.

So I think now if I see it. I'm going to be like, wow. I really relate to this guy. Yeah, but I really think this guy's justified. Yeah.

I mean This guy and I can have drinks. I don't know. I mean, he goes nuts at the end. I mean, he lets it.

Okay, wait a minute. He does. Yeah. I think it starts out, and everyone's like, yeah, I see. I get it, I see that.

Like, he gets mad. Because he's stuck in traffic, it's hot, his air conditioning's out, that starts it, right? And then he walks, he leaves his car there. And he takes his little briefcase and he's walking. And then the first is when he goes to the convenience store.

And I think. Because He was asking about the price of a soda, and then he got mad, busted up the shop. And I'm like, okay, that's not that guy's. Come on, come on now. And he gets mad.

And He's I don't know. It just, it's bad. And my first thought was, okay, you didn't need to do that, right? The customer's always right, right? Yeah, the customer's always right.

But see, I don't think, like, right, like when he was saying he was in the fast food place and he was trying to order breakfast, and it was like two minutes. Before the cutoff time, and they weren't gonna it's like when you go to McDonald's. and you're trying to get an aim from Welfin. And what do they stop serving breakfast at 10? It's like 9:58.

And you're like, I'm looking, your clock says this, my clock says this. It's 9.58. Can I get a mcmuffin? And they're like, no, sir, we stopped serving breakfast. That I do get.

Oh, I felt that one. Because you're like, it's two minutes till the customer's always right. Huh? And he was like being nice at first. This was okay, the Korean store when he walked in.

Okay, I get that. But when he goes in, how many of you have b had that similar situation? You know what I mean? It's like two minutes. I've been in places where it's like ten minutes before.

Excuse me. And they're like, No, we're breakfast is I'm like, your cutoff is ten o'clock. It's nine fifty. I've been tempted to say Joe Maymiko Michael Douglas on you. But And then he gets involved with the uh gang members.

Not that I get, you know.

Okay. They're gang members. There's no sadness there. Right. And then there was the neo-Nazi that he meets.

And the surplus story goes in there because he's getting shoes, and the guy who owns the place, he's this neo-Nazi. And I mean, yeah, I could pay his head in, 'cause, you know Well, it seems like you're also relating to this guy. No, no, no. I'm just saying there's certain things where I'm like, I can't say blanket statement, universal statement that I. Yeah, I see every you know, but there's certain things where I'm like, Mm-hmm.

Yeah. That was my point. Like I think If I watch this now, and like I said, it's been years since I've seen it, I would probably have a different perspective on the movie. Maybe, yeah, maybe. Yeah.

So he's um and then he it's suicide by cop at the end. That's what he does, essentially.

So I don't know.

So yeah, this was th this was uh I'll just say that Biden's falling down a lot. Oh, he doesn't even have the wherewithal. Remember, they can't even get him in trouble for the crimes that he committed because he's too mentally not there. Right, did I say falling down? Because I meant falling up.

Yeah, falling up. A new movie starring Who Am I? Joe Biden. I already got the trailer cut. It's in my head.

It's already done. I'm completely done. Oh my gosh.

Alright, so. Mm-hmm. Gab and do some. I think that Gavin Noosa may have just made another stupid move. I don't know if you've seen this, but...

Gavin Newsom is. Let me pull this up. He's a little in trouble now.

Well, I think it could be. I think Republicans should be. jumping all over this because Democrats have been trying to make an issue over IVF. and I think have that conversation after the election. But let's focus on this.

Because he was on Meet the Press. And she had asked them. She had asked him. And this got. Even with myself, it got overlooked because everyone was making so much fun of how he was fawning Oliver Biden, the political version of Dennis from Always Sunny.

And the host of Meet the Press, that uh Kristen woman. She says do you think that Do you think there is a week that access to abortion? Should be banned. I thought there was a dumb way to ask that question. Do you think there's a week that access to abortion should be banned?

Like, what do you mean a week, Kristen? Like a random week? Or do you think that there should be a limitation put on it? Like, properly ask your stupid questions. He can't say that, though.

I would have responded that way. And He At first, he interrupted her, and then she asked that any week, and then he says that. Insisting that late, he said that late-term abortions are a complete canard, and he wouldn't.

So he believes, essentially, what he did is he. Is endorsing abortion as birth control up literally till the moment of birth. Ah. Where are Republicans on this? Oh, that's right.

They're fighting over who's going to run the RNC. Why don't you give us more money? We have flowers to order. He this should why are they not jumping on this? Democrats could go, oh, well, IVF, whatever, and then, yeah, here's your number two guy in your party right now.

Literally endorsing Abortion is birth control up till the moment of birth. Because that even goes beyond the sensibilities of moderate Democrats. I mean, you're talking about pulling whole babies out. And That's rough for even a moderate Democrat to get I mean even some of the far left Democrats they can't talk about it so they don't Even moderate Democrats that were like, Okay, maybe that's a little too far. Where are Republicans on this?

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. I'm not going to judge, but I just think that if you're going to get married, maybe you can find better places than the gas station men's bathroom. That's what happened. This couple decided that they were going to get married there because I guess they met there, and I don't even. I'm just.

It was in a Kentucky bathroom, the HOP Hop Shop male bathroom.

Okay. You know, it's a free country. Because we were talking about, you know, with falling down, you can do that.

Okay, yeah, alright. Don't be in. Sure, there was a nice scent. A man urinated on an officer's leg during a DUI arrest, says a report. This is in Vegas, of course.

With between the headlines I see and our listener later he sends us, Vegas Man is competing with Florida Man. It's official. This guy, very questionable hair. He, it was a domestic disturbance call. Police showed up.

This dude had been chasing a woman. When they arrived, they saw a vehicle driven by this guy speeding down the road. They pulled him over. He stopped in the middle of an off-ramp. Like right or sorry, on-ramp, right in the middle of the on-ramp, guy stops the car and gets outright.

Um, and of course, he's a convicted felon already. He's on a revoked license, and as they were taking him into custody, he literally urinated on the officer's leg and the floor. Uh, and and yeah, so they they We're able to process him and get him booked without any further incident, but This is wild to me.

So, Texas has declared, Texas County has declared a state of emergency out of a solar eclipse. Population is set to double from the influx of tourists. People are snapping up $1,000 Austin to Detroit plane seats to view it from the skies, which is wild. Bell County, April 18th, there's gonna be a huge solar eclipse. Their 400,000 population is expected to double, possibly triple.

And that's because, I guess that's like, Where they said that the declaration is gonna help them plan for the eclipse and protect residents and visitors because every, I guess it's the best way to see that eclipse is they figured out it's in Bell County. Um, okay. You would travel for that? I've never heard of it. Would you for legit travel for that?

And uh a hospital patient kicked the bucket after nine days without food in a major note-keeping mistake. in a British hospital. Note keeping mistake. Yeah. Uh-huh.

Sure. I'll call it that. Stick with us. Elevate your commute, workouts or downtime with the Dana Show Podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

First of all, you're correct. Secondly, the macro story in current politics is Democrats don't lose elections anymore. We haven't lost an election in the last year and a half. And we have an advantage right now, and we need to pummel him right now. And I used to have a saying when Iran campaigns: the more you pummel them, the more they pummel.

If we got to jump on this abortion issue, we got to jump on this book burning issue, run ahead to these Nazi hags at school board meetings trying to ban Rosa Parks. Run all of the things, all the intrusive policies. A majority of the House Republicans want to codify the insane rules. I got to tell you, I think if their producers ask them, hey, is there any way you could raise your camera? Because it looks like You you're probably sitting on the toilet with.

the up glasses on. And uh Yeah. Why? I know him personally, and I gotta say, when I was the token conservative at CNN a decade ago, he was like the one who was actually genuinely consistently nice to me. And he was There were, he said that a lot, he was the one who was telling me some of the progressives there were like snakes, and they're trying to get the conservatives fired.

He actually I think he plays up his partisanship for television. But he's actually, I know it sounds crazy, me saying this. But he's he was actually very uh He was actually very kind when I was there. I cannot say that for every person across the other side of the aisle because I've definitely met some nasty ones. But he was one that was.

Not uh not that way, I gotta be honest.

So Welcome back to the program, Bottom of the Third Hour. Daniel Lash here with you. He is right, though. He's telling Democrats what they need to do. Republicans need to be doing, I mean, they need to be jumping all over Gavin Newsome, talking about his support of abortion up till the moment of birth as birth control.

They need to be talking about the woman who was killed in Georgia by the person who entered the country illegally and had been arrested twice. Or what about the case of the guy who raped a girl, raped a young girl, another person here illegally from Venezuela? And here. You know, I mean He's again another case of somebody being in the country illegally.

So I. I that's what Republicans Republicans should be all over these issues. and focus on this. And focus on Not the slap fights with the RNC and all of that. I mean, it's just I don't know.

The whole thing is just. Um I get it's frustrating. Aren't because the RNC is broke. I will say there's one race, well, it went to a Democrat, but. This, where's this?

The legislature, the state legislature went Democrat. I saw this. You pull this up.

So Back when we were talking about Winsome sears, right? The lieutenant governor. of Virginia, who made this dude. mad because she referred to him on the Senate floor as sir, and the dude is wants to rob you of your free speech right and force you to affirm his fantasy self-perception as his as a female. And she, you know, wasn't being mean.

She just called him sir 'cause she was she's doing her doing her job and she's running through business. And so, this woman, and I'm going to tell you why this is, I found this so entertaining. This woman, her name is Susannah Gibson. And she tweeted, Quote And this is the woman who wants to be the next Governor of Virginia, and how dare you try to sully the Governor's mansion with your bigotry, ignorance, hate, and absolute disrespect, Winsome Sears. And I'm like, hmm, Susannah Gibson.

Because I saw someone just retweet it. And LOL. And I'm like, why does that sound familiar? Oh. Do you remember Susannah Gibson?

She's the only fans actress. who ended up losing Her race. to be a delegate or they're they're state house essentially. Because uh all of her videos Mm. She's Okay.

Yeah. It's awkward. He's concerned about sullying someone else sullying. I am trying so hard.

Okay. I am trying so hard right now to be I mean, I guess her OnlyFans isn't going that well, is it? It must not be going real well if she's having to If she's but but what gets me is that this is a woman who's demanding that a This is a female actress on OnlyFans. who is demanding that a black woman bend the knee to a progressive white male. And isn't she a veteran, too?

Well, Winsome Sears. I've I've been The I I just like you can't make these jokes up.

So she remember she had an online audience. I'm trying to be. Trying to be uh Proper here. She had an online audience and uh her s and She got mad at everybody because she put her stuff up online publicly. Like some of her stuff apparently wasn't even behind a paywall.

And it was easily found by everybody. Just to show you how dumb this woman is. You have to realize that people are going to do OPPO research on you when you are running for office. And if you have literally yourself put up your own videos online and they're publicly accessible. No one is 'cause she kept saying they were trying to get her with revenge porn.

You put this uh you did this yourself. That's like getting mad at Libs at TikTok for reposting someone's videos. You did this yourself, chick.

So she got mad and was saying that people were trying to slut shame her and everything else. And I'm like, well You got one of those words, right? I don't know. The whole thing is just but anyway, she weighs in on Winsome Sears, just in case you didn't have disgraced OnlyFans actress who can't win an elected seat on your bingo card. speaking out against The actually successful female lieutenant governor who can win her seat.

In case you didn't have that on your bingo card.

Now you do. Just goodness. The U.S. Army is cutting its force by 24,000. Amid recruiting shortfalls.

5% of Army jobs are being slashed in mainly positions that are already empty, apparently. They've been dealing with recruitment issues. They say the restructuring. Will help the service fight in future conflicts. The almost five percent of jobs cut.

Will mostly affect posts that have been empty and not actual soldiers, according to the Army document out today. They said they're not asking current soldiers to leave. They're trying to build back in strength. Over the next few years, they said most installations will likely see an increase in the number of soldiers actually stationed there. Many of the jobs being slashed are in related counterinsurgency positions that apparently grew out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but are not in high demand today.

They said they're not they so they said that they have some uh cuts from different brigades that are usually used to train foreign forces. like when uh we had people in Baghdad to train the Iraqi military or when they were in Kabul in Afghanistan to train uh the Afghanistan m Afghanistan's military.

So that's apparently that's what they're that's what they're looking to do. And They're structured, they said the number of active duty soldiers is about 445,000. They want to reach a goal of 470,000 active duty soldiers by the end of fiscal year 2029. But nobody is go you know why? Do you know why they're having a a big Bing.

problems. I mean, clearly you've seen some of the recruiting videos they've made recently. Clearly, you've seen some of the dudes who dress up as women in full uniform, and they demand that you call them ma'am. The rules of engagement, the politicization of wars, the failure to outline an objective, the horrific leadership at the upper echelon that has led to the abandonment in Afghanistan, that led to a really weird ending in Iraq, all of this. I mean, it's it's they've had it's it's been because it's been overly politicized.

There are several things that should not be overly politicized. How you prosecute conflict. medicine and education particularly. And those are things now you're seeing what happens when they are. I mean nobody Nobody wants to enlist anymore.

And the flyover people who used to enlist, I wrote about this in my book, Flyover Nation. the families that served generationally. In the armed forces. the people from Flyover Nation who would enlist. Who proudly served, the families that had pictures of their husbands or daughters or sons in uniform displayed in their homes.

Those families, those people aren't willfully enlisting anymore. Because, first off, You're calling all of them toxic. Your uh maligning their characters, impugning their their characters. And you're purposefully sidelining them at the altar of Wokery. Which isn't about building a fighting force, it's about using armed forces as a social experiment.

And that's not what the Armed Forces is for. And you're you're reducing Your requirements for readiness, you're reducing your requirements for entry. You're risking the lives of our men and women in uniform because you're trying to be politically correct and relevant popular-wise. It just, it's asinine, and DC lets them do this. DC encourages it.

DC is culpable. And you wonder why you're having trouble getting people to enlist. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Just to follow on Weja's previous question though, we've learned according to an Israeli source that Netanyahu was quite surprised by the President's comments about his expectations that there would be a ceasefire by Monday.

So that doesn't vode a lot of optimism that one of the key parties was surprised by that timeline the president had said.

So why did he say Monday? I can't speak for uh the surprise that foreign leaders have or don't have with regard to um uh things that we're saying. The President uh talked to you all uh after uh staying completely up up to speed and he has been kept up to speed on how these negotiations are going. And he shared with you some context and he certainly shared with you his optimism that we can get there in in uh in hopefully short order but Hmm. That's uh A big, big, big uh...

That's a mess that I think Biden's just created. He's like, well, you know, yeah, we're talking to them. You know, we're trying to get Hamas Musain. No. There's no discussion.

We're not even close to any type of agreement. That's John Kirby. there, who's they've been having issues with us. with this whole thing. and trying to keep the the president On track.

I wonder if they were cringing when he was doing that interview with Seth What's his face. And he's saying this stuff that it's completely contradictory to existing fact, either with Saudi Arabia or with the ongoing discussions with Hamas and Israel.

So, I mean, I don't know. It's like, well, you know, did he a ceasefire by Monday?

So, why? I mean, if there's not going to be, because Netanyahu said he was surprised, then why? Out of anybody who would be able to speak to it, it would be John Kirby.

So why can't he speak to it? Right? That's so weird. Why? Why can't he speak to it then?

If anybody could, it would it would be him. I don't know. I got a lot of questions, Kane. I got some questions.

So it just doesn't make any sense. I don't know. Um I sound like they're not gonna have one.

Now we are going to have. One of the things that we do know is that unless they can. Remember, I told you they're kicking the budget battle. This was. Was this back uh before Christmas?

Yeah, it was. When they had the last border Or not border when they had the last budget battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before the government shut down, they averted it, but they they averted it in that they passed a continuing resolution just to maintain the existing level of funding and then it went on from there. Uh they yeah.

I got some got some questions because now we're back here at the same place that we were, as I told you. And unless they get some stuff situated.

Now, but wait, isn't When is Congress isn't supposed to go back Till next week.

So after next. Yeah, yeah. 'Cause they're on a recess right now. the house is yeah. Huh, till after next week.

So Okay, yeah, interesting. Interesting indeed. All right, well we'll see. Because they were going to have a shutdown. It's c it's looming.

I mean, and I'm actually okay with that. I think that, you know, Speaker Johnson says he's optimistic that the La Verta shut down. He says that they're committing to doing it. They apparently were meeting earlier today with Biden. House leaders were.

He said that they're, we believe that we can get to an agreement. I bet they're just going to pass another CR. That's all they're going to do. That's all they've been doing. It's a partial government funding deadline, is what it is.

So that's what's this Friday: a partial funding deadline. And you have Twelve annual spending bills of which four of them are are come due. And I think the other ones are sometime in March. I think there's like seven or eight. The other ones are sometime in March.

So they were hoping the Senate people and the congressional leaders want to they wanted to Be able to showcase what their what their spending measures are going to be over the weekend, but apparently they hadn't. Hadn't yet reached an agreement. I'm all right if the government shuts down. I don't care. I think it's too much anyway.

It's too big. It's it's too big anyway, so I'm okay with that. I mean, I don't know how this one is going to be any different. I mean, they have just days to pass something. And you're gonna you're gonna have like essential offices that are still gonna essential offices are still gonna uh be open and working, but uh anything that's deemed to be unessential will not.

I classify a lot of government that way.

So again, I'm okay with that.

So, why don't we just take the unessential stuff and just close it down? Instead of just shut it down and then bring it back later, let's just close it down permanently. Yeah, I'm all for that. I am uh actually totally all for that. Do you remember back when Barack Obama, under Obama Biden, they shut the government down and Republicans were not going to commit to more spending and the federal government demanded that they put barriers in front of national parks?

And outdoor public areas. Like you literally, they weren't gonna allow you to go into the park to look at the trees or just like be in a public area that your tax dollars pay for. Like I you already paid for that with your tax dollars, it's yours. Asinine. All right, today's stupidity cane.

Ooh, all right, and one. You can probably play this one. This will be Cut 23. Secretary Janet Yellen is telling us that inflation is falling and they expect it to continue to fall, which none of that is true. Listen to this.

Over the past year, global growth has been resilient and stronger than predicted. The IMF and other forecasters projected that there would be a broad-based slowdown in the global economy in 2023. And that didn't happen. Global growth came in at 3.1% exceeding expectations. Inflation has fallen and is expected to continue to fall this year.

Just like the Fed said they're not going to be they're going to be lowering rates this year.

So far they haven't been able to do it. My suspicion is they're going to have to raise them. Yeah, there you go, folks. That does it for our program today. Make sure to find us on Facebook, YouTube, like, and subscribe, as well as Substack chapter and verse the newsletter.
