Friday April 12 - Full Show

Yesterday in the Rose Garden, the President said that when he came into office, inflation was skyrocketing, but it was 1.4% in January of 2021, and that was the 11th consecutive month at that time, under 2%.

So was the President misleading Americans?

So when the President took office, and you know this, there was a pandemic. It was closing down businesses, closing down schools, and so it was drastically disrupting the supply chain. Let's not forget about that. And so that's what was going on. And that caused inflation around the world to increase.

We know that. And then further increasing inflation was the Russia's war, Russia's war in Ukraine. And in fact, many other countries are even worse off because of that, because of what we've seen with Russia's war.

So the President took historic action to deal with the disruption of the supply chain. Let's not forget what he did with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And so we have made progress in lowering costs. We've made progress in dealing with inflation. Inflation, but that's what was happening when we walked in.

The pandemic, the disruption of the supply chain. All of these things were happening when the president took office. And whose policies created a lot of that stuff, by the way? Whose policies were the ones that. that made everything to be locked down.

And that shut down the economy because you can sit here and argue all day long that it was the Republican president. And it was, in part, but Pray tell who were the people that were pressuring the most? and we're demanding that they get A complete I mean the only way I can describe it is a complete and total seizure. of all economic activity. I mean, I've described it previously as the imminent domain of the people's economic uh uh ability.

I was trying to think of the word for it. Welcome, first off. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you. It's Friday.

And There's A bunch of odds and ends that we have to attend to before we get you set up for the weekend. And obviously their continual denial. Over The economy is one of them. But also, some of the latest stuff that I've been seeing with Iran. And I've got.

Some questions that might seem kind of obvious to. Just some folks.

So yeah, I mean, you know. Maybe to us, but maybe not so much the other folks. But we're going to get into all of that. And we're also going to talk about some of this other stuff, some of these other stories. I was talking about that Dexter.

Reed shooting last night on Jesse Waters' program.

So, we're going to talk about that a little bit as well. But, first off, This well, we talked about the CPI numbers that came out Wednesday. The economy is bad. I'm not going to re go I'm not going to relitigate all that and go into all of it. You know.

But the denials from the administration, I'm telling you, it just doesn't it doesn't look good. when you're the administration and you're denying what people are seeing, you realize what that does to voter confidence and how that also translates into voter enthusiasm, which by the way, we're going to talk about some 2024 stuff. It's a hot mess. You you you can't you can't lie to people about this stuff.

Now, on the border, because they do the same thing with the border issue. I know you guys saw this. This is one of the top stories today. you had a forty eight year old dude named Mohammed Carwin. And he was He's out on bond for some re why.

Can I just stop there for a moment why? He is an illegal alien from Afghanistan. Why is he out on bond? Why? He's not in the country illegally, but that's not all.

He's literally on the terror watch list. Like he's actually a terrorist. He's a real life terrorist. He does terrorist stuff. And he was arrested in Like what?

Uh the se uh early March. He was arrested in early March. near the US Mexico border, He was already, check this out. He was already in the United States. For a whole year.

Before he was arrested and then had to be released by Border Patrol in 2023.

So he was in the country illegally for a year. Border Patrol arrests him, and remember. They can't really do anything. The administration won't let them do anything.

So then he was released. By an immigration judge. And the judge was told That the guy was a national security threat by Border Patrol. And the judge lets him walk anyway. By the way, you know how sometimes when people are released on bond and you have certain restrictions?

You know, especially I would just think if you're a big, giant, fatty, fat terrorist like this guy. He has no restrictions. He's able to walk around the country freely with zero restrictions at all whatsoever. He was treated From what was reported. Just like any other average, everyday illegal alien that crosses and breaks into the country.

And they process, they do all this stuff, and they let them go.

Now The other insane part of this is that even though you had a Border Patrol arrest the guy. Um Apparently the FBI wasn't notified. In customs, you have border, uh, customs and border patrol, then you have customs enforcement. Customs enforcement also apparently wasn't notified.

Now what gets me is that And I'm l there's a couple of pieces I'm looking at here. I think this is free beacon. When this guy was arrested, Border Patrol agents. were they something tipped them off. Like they they saw this they saw his name and they were running his name against the terror watch list and lo and behold, there was a match.

Now, they needed other corroborating information at the time to confirm that this Mohammed Carwin guy. was the terrorist that they suspected. But The government never told us what made them What made them run his name? What made them suspicious? What was.

the information that made them think, oh my gosh, we've got a We gotta cross-reference this dude's name. He can fly. In the US. Yeah. He's on the terror watch list.

He's literally a known terrorist. And he can fly. You guys know that, right? No. Oh, you didn't?

Yeah, he can fly. I thought that was like literally one of the prerequisites of getting on the no-fly list, being on the terror watch list. Yeah, no, apparently not. We actually don't know the criteria. That gets somebody on the no-fly list.

I don't know if you guys know that either. That's never been made public. We have no idea what. the criteria that gets somebody on the no-fly list. We don't know.

But yeah, that's that's this is so and the FBI is responsible for said terror watch list. They're responsible for it. And you have like almost 2 million people who have names on this list. And they're on the terror watch list. And this guy literally is on it.

He is a member of a group called Hezbi-e Islami. And It is literally a paramilitary terrorist group. As so designated by the United States. It is declared to be a virulent, uh, virulently. Anti can't even talk today, anti-Western insurgent group.

A virulent anti Western insurgent group. Oh. They wanted to they were enemies of the the Western the the Afghan government that the United States had backed. They were enemies of that government. And I apparently they helped they worked with the Taliban to help it collapse after Biden abandoned it in 2021.

The group that this guy is a member of has killed uh at least that we know of. Nine Soldiers, nine U.S.

soldiers. and civilians. over the past several years.

So just to run down the list. The guy is literally a known domestic terrorist. He's known. And it's apparently they have the evidence to corroborate it. He's A member of a known terrorist group that helped, that actually killed Americans, killed our soldiers, killed civilians.

And is a declared enemy of the United States. And was allowed to walk and can fly, can get on a plane, can do whatever, can roam about freely in the United States. And not only was he apprehended once, but he was apprehended twice. And he was released both times. What is one of the things that we heard DC talk about?

What was Andy McCabe testifying about yesterday, Kim? Four members of the House. The warrants? You told them? Yeah, the Pfizer warrants.

Warrant requirements? Yeah, the warrant requirements. And one of the sound bites that came out of that Hearing was They were demanding warrantless surveillance. And they actually said that we will have more terror attacks without this warrantless surveillance. If you don't let us have it, we're going to have.

I mean, that's just something that's going to happen, guys. We're going to have. More terror attacks. There's a number of them who said that John Brennan had a piece where he was John Brennan, I know, of all the people. Guy who lied under oath about spying on Americans.

They were saying, well, you know, you gotta if we we don't have this, then we're going to have uh we're gonna have more terror attacks. It is really hard. Even harder for me to take them seriously. on wanting to protect the United States from terror attacks. When they don't do anything to secure the southern border or any border of the United States, southern, northern, whatever.

It makes me not take them seriously. about protecting the United States from terror attacks. When they allow this, a guy like this, and by the way. This isn't the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth. I could go on, known terrorist.

Who has been on a list, who has crossed over into the United States and was released. This is not the first one. And it won't be the last one. Released a national security threat. It's hard for me to take these people.

seriously on wanting to protect the country when they don't take it seriously to protect the country. And they let known Active terrorists run loose. in the United States interior.

Furthermore, it's hard for me to take these people seriously. Because they went on and on and on about the threats to the government that these people who went into the Capitol on january sixth that they posed. Oh my gosh, they Can you believe it? No, some of them were destructive, and I'm off, they already had the book thrown at them, but that's been a while ago now. They're just going after the people who showed up.

There are people who literally entered the Capitol after being waived in by security, looked around at the statues in Statuary Hall and left and they're they're facing like prison time.

Meanwhile, you can be an ap actual literal terrorist. and you can come in through the southern border. be arrested twice, released twice. And who paid for his bond? His bond was $12,000.

no questions as to who paid for his bond. Nobody knows. Nobody's got any answers. How did How about that? Twice entry now illegally into the United States financed because you don't enter into the southern border unless you pay the cartel.

I don't care who you are. You do not go through that southern border unless you pay the troll toll, and that's to the cartel.

So who financed all that? How did this guy get in? Who did he get in and go stay with? Nobody has any answers to this, and I'm not joking, they literally have no answers to this. Reporters are starting to ask.

And the government's not answering.

So based on this information You know, when I hear people like Amy McCabe and everybody else sit here and talk about this stuff, I don't take them seriously. If they were serious about securing the border, they would have dealt with us. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when we're going to have an incident here in the interior of the United States at this point. And the people who can do something about it refuse to do something about it because they insist there isn't a problem. That's the problem.

We have a lot more on the way, including Iran.

So they're threatening a strike. Why are we not sanctioning the hell out of them? I got questions. Keltech, they've uh it's a family-owned company. They're based in Florida and they make some awesome stuff, including uh the newest that they have.

We've been talking about it for some time now. And it's shipping now. It's the sub-2K, but it's the Gen 3 version of the Sub 2K.

So, what makes it different from the previous stuff is that previously, because you can still fold the thing in half, but you would have to. Take your optics off, and you don't have to take your optics off anymore with the Gen 3 version. In fact, it's just that patent-pending rotating foreign. It's just a simple, you just twist it either direction and you fold it all in half. That's optics and everything, which is nice.

And it just as quickly and easily deploys it as well. You also have an upgraded aluminum trigger, redesigned mechanics, lightened five-pound pool, upgraded action. You have lightened actions for so far easier racking, a new chamber indicator, all kinds of good stuff. It's from Keltech, family-owned, made in America, and incredibly innovative products.

So, I simultaneously love and am also terrified of this headline.

Now, imagine if this was your dog and dog lovers out there, I know you're hearing me. Pet parents, I love pet parents, really. They're owners, but come on, I get you. This dog's owners used a drone to, because he's a husky and they were missing him. And they were like, where's our dog at?

And they found the dog. Playing with a group of bears. An actual group of bears, wild. Brown bears. And the video, the Husky was trailing them, circled them.

He was all excited. And one bear tried to nudge the dog away when it got too close, but they weren't threatening. It was weird because it's like they. They couldn't, the bears were looking at him like, why are you so cracked out? Like they, it's hysterical.

I watched this video like a million times last night because he's there's three of them, and he's walking with them. He's like, Hi, hi, can I come with you? Can I come with you? And the bears are like, Will you stop? And one of them just kind of nudges him away, but he's like, They weren't threatened by him and he wasn't threatened by him.

They were just, it was just, it's funny. It's just funny. I don't know. But thankfully, everybody was okay. Scientists are urging people to lay off the lobster and shrimp because of dangerous levels of cancer-causing forever chemicals.

And they said it's the PFAs. They're associated with cancers, not just cancers, but infertility, birth abnormalities, blah, blah, blah. Seafood's a major source of it. And they said that even tap water. Uh I don't know.

I that's bug meat.

So I'm okay with not. I'm okay with that. If I, if you said Dana, you could not ever eat lobster again, I'm like, okay. Don't threaten me with a good time. It's bug me.

It is, it really is. Jim Gaffigan was right, and that's the only thing he's right about. Harvard is bringing back their standardized test because, guess what? Racism doesn't work. Yeah, so they stopped deciding, they stopped using racism for admissions, and they've announced that they're reinstituting standardized testing as a requirement for admissions.

Wow, because they've been sucking out loud. That's why they've been horrible. A uh Whoa, a truck got robbed of more than $12,000 in pork in northeast Philly while the driver slept. More than $12,000 in pork stolen from this truck. This sounds like an always sunny in Philadelphia episode.

Welcome back. to the program. Dana Lash with you. Your lovable curmudgeon. Bottom of this first hour here.

Listen coast to coast. You can also stream the radio program. You can find us on X even, channel 347 DirecTV as well.

So the uh Yeah, I think he's gonna d he's gonna have to have a nap today. I don't know what his schedule entails today. Usually doesn't entail much. 'Cause he kinda calls a lid at like noon. Most days.

But he uh they they worked him out. With a state visit. And that was him taking some questions about. I guess he was talking about Gaza in there because you couldn't hear what he was saying immediately. But uh oh oh oh now There's something about 2024 here.

Because Arizona Arizona should not be in play. Do you know why Arizona should not be in play? For the left. Because it's a beautiful state, first off. Arizona's beautiful.

It is just I love the desert. I love heat. It is just one of the prettiest areas. It's kind of like a If you were gonna put borderlands anywhere, you'd probably you know the game. You'd probably do it in Arizona, you know what I'm saying?

'Cause it's, you know, it's it's similar. Mm-hmm. I don't know why there's why it's even a battle. I mean, I do, but just think about it for a moment. It's the desert, right?

It takes a certain kind of person to live out. in the desert, even with all the modern conveniences. of air conditioning and water coming right to your home. It's still, you know. Desert requires a hardy type of person to live out there, right?

And when I generally think of statists, I have to be honest with you, I don't think of hardy people. When I think of status, I think of starving people who are sick and have horrible representation because they've got tyrants running the show.

So that's, you know, just by way of geography. It's wild to me. But abortion is making it a thing. And we've touched on this a little bit. The whole issue of the abortion case in Arizona.

And I think people should realize, too, it's not that anybody made law. About abortion in Arizona, in absence of a federal law, when Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health undid Roe v. Wade. Then Arizona's own law kicked in.

So when I hear Democrats going, oh my gosh, it's going back to the Civil War. 1846, before the Civil War, that's when.

Well, why did you not do anything in that state for so long? I mean, if Democrats were so worried about it, Why did they not do anything state by state? What are all you people donating to like the Planned Parenthoods and all these pro-abortion groups on the left? The hell did you all get for the return on your investment? Because you apparently didn't get any action in Arizona from Democrats.

So don't get mad. At the Constitution of Arizona, because they had a statute that kicked in in absence of federal law. That's exactly what happened in Arizona. It was essentially a statutory decision. They're like, yeah, well, this is the law.

In absence of a federal law, this is what kicked into gear. It's back to states' rights. Democrats are mad, but I think one of the reasons why they're trying to distract you with their rage is because they want to hide the fact that they sat on their ass in Arizona and didn't do anything. Think about this. They just focused.

nationally their whole Strategy was national. They had no Plan B. Just like always, they never have any plan. Democrats never have a plan B. That's how you get Biden.

They had no other strategy. They didn't do anything.

Now, if Arizona was that much into play and people were that freaked out, because they're really trying with the messaging. Why didn't they di why didn't they have a ground game? Why wasn't there any kind of organization from these pro-abortion groups? in Arizona.

Now, there are exceptions for the life of the mother, etc., etc., to this law. That's why all these newspapers have to be careful in saying, well, it bans abortion outright, because it doesn't. You just can't be using it as a form of birth control. That's what they're saying. I mean, is there some states where I I mean, it really doesn't go further than s what some other states have?

And if they're mad about it, again, you had literally since 1846 to change it. And you didn't.

So that's not on Republicans, that's on y'all. That's just what the law is there. And they have exceptions for Like I said, uh Just like every other state does. I don't know why the left tries to act like that's that doesn't exist because it does. I've been disappointed.

with um The way that some Republicans have been acting on this. I feel like Trump is trying to triangulate, but his messaging is bad. When it gets to in the weeds on stuff like this, Trump needs to hip fire a little less. Because The triangulation on the issue to try to keep certain states in play Is not a bad consideration if you're looking at winning elections. And that's one thing I want to point out.

I understand. And as someone who defines himself as pro-life, and I'm not going to try to you know, try to justify strategy again. There are people that Are solely focused on the issue of life, and that's, you know, everybody has one issue that they solely focus on, some folks. If you are the Republican nominee, you got to be looking at every issue. You have to win the election first.

So I think with there's amongst the right there's there's two different things. You have the people who think an incrementalist approach is going to be more successful than an all or nothing, and I agree with that. And then you have folks who are solely focused on the issue of life, and then you have folks who. also are pro-life, but they also haven't realized they got to win elections. And sometimes practicality can be frustrating.

But that's the reality of it. We don't live in a world where you can go all or nothing, and you know, and then you'll respawn when you're defeated. That's not how this works. And I think that people need to realize that. But it doesn't help when you have Trump go out there, like I said, and use phrases like abortion rights, et cetera.

And it also doesn't help. Because with this, I mean, if they, maybe they'll come up with some amendments to it. Maybe they'll have some amendments. That they'll add in, you know, about, I guess, you know, time, whatever, six weeks, fifteen weeks, whatever. But When I see Carrie Lake, and I know a lot of people like Carrie Lake, I don't dislike Carrie Lake, and I want people to realize this.

I don't like or dislike a politician. I am ambivalent because they are pieces on the chessboard to me. When you get into the general election, I don't give a rat's backside about your anything. You are a piece on the chessboard to me. I'm a voter.

That's how all voters should be looking at these politicians, by the way. People get too invested. They're not idols. They are useful tools for you to advance your agenda. and they are nothing more than that.

No offense, that's the reality of stuff. They know the game when they sign up.

So like I said, I don't dislike Kerry Lake. I do think that she looks bad in the abortion fight in Arizona. Uh because it highlights the fact that she's a brand new Republican. And she is. She literally just, she's literally a recent Republican.

Like 2016 was the first time she ever, you know, was Republican. And I don't have a problem with convincing people to come over to the side of limited government and constitutionality. I'm totally fine with that. Is that not the whole point of what we do? To persuade people?

to come over to our side, right? to persuade people. I'm watching this show right now called Shogun. It's fantastic, by the way.

Well, parts of it.

Some parts drag on a little bit, and sometimes the Blackthorne British dude is a little overwrought. But, you know, other than that, it's a very interesting story. And uh The Head Warlord. Who might be creating another, uh uh shogunate. He's very smart in that.

He realizes when he gets a new ally, and he's all fine with having a new ally. Like this guy that they call, you know, the engine. He's this British guy who's, you know, he's There in Japan. And they're getting ready to break out into open warfare. It's the Edo period.

And this warlord, he's very, very smart in that. He knows when he has a new ally. This Anjan is a new ally to him. He gets it. But he doesn't immediately make him his second in command.

He doesn't immediately make him. In charge of everything, he doesn't immediately make him a thought leader within. His clan. There's there's Gradients of this. He's an ally.

But you're not going to put them in charge of a whole bunch of stuff yet. And this is where I get really frustrated with the conservative movement. Because you have Republicans and you have conservatives, and conservatives are so damn desperate, not all, but the ones that are a little bit more Republican than they are conservative, are so damn desperate. Uh popular relevancy. And they are so damn desperate to look cool and to look relevant.

And to look as though They are competitive. That they will excitedly lap up any praise and they will embrace any new person that comes along that might make them look a little bit more with it. and they will crown them the next thought leader without a moment's hesitation. How many times have you seen this? This is where this is where they hurt themselves.

Because this isn't about not welcoming people to your side. It's about putting people in charge of it right when they come in the door. Having them be a thought leader. having them lay down the rules. and put the items into put put into motion what you're going to advance in the next election and how you're going to message it.

That's pretty significant. Especially if you're somebody who's brand new in the movement. And you haven't been tempered by at least a couple of elections. You haven't had to really defend your ideals. for quite a long time.

You haven't been in the trench with everybody. My rule is that if you're too good to serve then you're not good enough to lead. And this is kind of my problem with a lot of the stuff that I see, particularly on the right. The left doesn't do this. Because they're psycho.

They will circle the wagons That's why they don't have a bench either. But the right is a little too thirsty. And I think some of that does come into play with Carrie Lake. Because she's running away from pro-life right now. And pro-life groups are livid with her.

And other Republicans in Arizona are mad at her. And now you got the Republican Party in a just massive brawl right now in Arizona.

Okay.

So case in point. This headline: Arizona Republican leaders block effort to repeal abortion bans, screaming, shame, shame. Oh, they're fighting. They're very, very up and I get it. They're worried about.

They're worried about how this is going to play. Into the election, but they're also worried about, you know, you can't compromise on certain principles. I think there's a way to message this. Without having to run away from your position on stuff.

So Lake had disavowed the Republican or the disavowed the ruling. She had uh come out against it. And she said, I oppose the ruling. I'm calling on the Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs in the state legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support.

Well, that phrase right there immediately got me as a gun on her. Common sense. Common sense. Why are we using phrases, phrasings like that. But in 2022 She was asked about this ban.

And she said that the ruling upholds is a great law and that it sets an example for other states. What?

So she flip-flopped on it. She Had that position until the heat got hot. This is what I'm talking about. You got to be tempered by several elections. You got to be tempered.

for a little bit. Before you start. Shooting for the top.

Now I think her remarks and her posturing. is way more problematic than Trump's is. Because now Lake looks like a moderate, and she is. That's not I'm not saying that as an insult. She's a moderate.

Trump is also a moderate. But he can govern conservatively. There's a difference. I think that Trump is trying to triangulate, and I don't, like I said, I don't think that that's a bad. strategy to have.

He's got to be very careful here. Because he needs his base. And he also needs the people who Are not being told the whole picture about Arizona, and they might be believing some of the stuff that they're seeing with Democrats. Like I said, Biden's launching a seven-figure ad buy. They want to make this, this is what Democrats want to do, they want to make this all about abortion.

All about abortion. Don't let FOMO get the best of you. Stay in the loop and ahead of the curve by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Harmful disregard of someone's preferred chosen pronouns.

Directly conflicts with the message that we want to affirm people and let adults and encourage adults to live their best lives. Further, I want to say that gender affirming care for All ages is a range of treatment. It's a range of choices they make. From the clothes, from name to hair, and yes, pronouns. And when we misuse pronouns, and when we intentionally or Deliberately misuse them or choose not to be careful.

We're sending messages to our kids also that we don't care how they're seeing the world and we are willing to do them harm. And The very act of doing that Is an act of disrespect and violence against people, regardless of who they are.

So, this is a Minnesota state representative named Liz Ryer. And she's Language isn't violence, and that's dumb. We're not going to sit here and control people's speech so that you can force them into giving up their rights. by affirming your fantasies. not doing that.

That's so goofy. Why do they always sound like that too? Why do they always sound like that? We have a lot more on the way, including that shooting of three police officers. They were gunned down this morning by a teen in Memphis.

We'll talk about that coming up. Stick with us.

And then when I became speaker, I went to the SCIF and got the confidential briefing from sort of the other perspective on that to understand the necessity of Section 702 of FISA and how important it is for national security. And it gave me a different perspective.

So I encouraged all the members to go to the classified briefing and hear all that and see it so they can evaluate the situation for themselves. And I think some opinions have changed both ways, but that's part of the process. You've got to be fully informed. Like he only just now realized this. I'm not playing devil's advocate.

I'm asking this: like, this is Dana's advocate. First off, welcome. Back to the program. Top of the second hour. Dana Lash here with you.

This is why I get super. Cranky.

So he's saying in this audio sound bite, Okay. This is uh Speaker Johnson. Classified briefings gave me a different perspective on FISA reforms. Not the hell that broke loose after 2016. That didn't give you a different perspective on FISA reforms?

See, I'm in a funky place here. Because If I criticize him too much, we're trying to get him on the show. He's not going to come on the show. That's how that's what happens. I have to throw a tantrum and then publicly shame people, and then they begrudgingly come on and they're like terrified.

That's why we can't get certain lawmakers. And I'm very nice. But still, What do you mean you just now got this different perspective on Pfizer reforms? Like, what did we not? No.

Before, what did you not know before that would make you think, well, it might be okay. Right? Am I missing something? I mean, he should know more about this than us because he's there in DC, right? Yeah.

I would have loved for him to actually articulate what that perspective is that he gained. From being in those classified briefings. Indicate it. He's just like, oh, well, you know, my I've changed my mind a little bit on it. But he hasn't said why or the reasons why.

He just said that it was Those confidential Those classified briefings that he was in.

Well, the House voted for it. Uh they voted to reauthorize But it was the modified bill that they sent to the Senate. for approval. And It's the modifier, let me pull this up. It failed earlier this week.

This is the modified bill. Yeah, without Yeah, without the yeah, it and it reauthorizes the FISA, etcetera, etc. etcetera. I just um The the the new first off, the new version, it authorizes it's a two-year authorization instead of five.

So if Trump were to win in November, then he would be in office by the time It expired, meaning he would be there when they were overhauling Fiza.

Next time.

So, Johnson had organized this classified reading for House floor members. to view it ahead of the vote today. And that's what he was talking about. He said he had been, he was opposed to the reauthorization of 702, saying that only after he got these classified briefings did he gain a different perspective. I'm going to tell you, I did not, I was not privy to the classified briefings, and I can tell you that I was already opposed to it.

I don't get that. That line from him. That's a cop-out. Are you kidding me? I can't get past this, so indulge me.

just for a minute. He's the Speaker of the House. He's in Washington, D.C. And it wasn't until he did not have this realization until he viewed.

So, wait a minute, let me ask this.

So, wait, here's this question. We all opposed it for reasons that are public. What the hell did he learn? That's classified. That made him who had supported it up until then.

Oppose it. Sacrifice. Where's that at? What did he learn in a classified briefing that made him change his mind? Um Uh I got some I got some questions.

How bad was it? Man. Do you know how many times I reach out to lawmakers and I'm like, hey, on stuff like this? Mipes. Tell me a tell me back channel, just you know, for background.

And when you say off the record, that means you can't use any information. It's not legally binding, by the way, as a courtesy. That everyone, it's de facto law in the journalism world, but it's not a law. But if you say off the record, you can't use any of it, not even talking about it in a roundabout way. If you say for background, then you can use it in a roundabout way and use it to help inform your coverage, right?

So I'm and you and you don't have to identify who told you. I can't tell you how many times I've reached out to lawmakers like, pss, hey. Hey, yeah, come here. Can I? Amy has a little information on this.

Yeah, give me some give me some background. And I always have to do it real cool, like. I'm like, hey. Saw your whatever, I'll just make something up. This is the nicest I get, right, Kane?

Are you shocked about this? How shocked are you? You get nicer than that. What are you talking about? That's not true.

I'm getting ready to tell you how much I hate questionnaires here in a minute. Mm-hmm. The I'll reach out, I'm like, hey, just saw your hit. And I I never say hey, I never do that either. I don't even know what the typed equivalent of that is.

Like, hey, saw your hit, you know, great job. You know, oh, by the way, you know, I set it up like, oh, compliment. By the way, Ask. It usually never works. But every now and then I'll get a well.

I can tell you this. I'm not going to tell you who does that. They're not breaking any laws, but they're kind of giving me a little bit more than they would, like, you know, some age CNN. But I tell you what. They have It's without the added warrant mandate.

Again, I just want to know. If Speaker Johnson supported it up until the when we all opposed it, and he supported it up until he saw the classified stuff, how bad is the classified stuff? That's the question we all want answered. I feel like that's a fair question. Good night I'm telling you.

So, did you guys hear this story? I wanted to switch and get into some. Law and order here. Because I saw this, and I'm bringing this story up because this is all just this morning. An officer gunned down in Memphis And He was shot and killed.

And one officer was shot and killed. One is in non-critical condition. Another officer was injured as well. Uh this story And we'll play Some of the we'll play some of this press conference here in a moment. Uh clip from that.

But It was an eighteen year old. that police were calling the suspects. It was, you know, a a minor. And they responded to a suspicious vehicle call that ended. Again, four people injured.

One was transported to the hospital. The officer who was killed, Officer Joseph McKinney. And that's according to the interim police chief Sarah Lynn Davis. He was part of the Rain Station Alpha Shift. He's joined the department in 2020.

It happened at 2 a.m. They responded to this suspicious vehicle call. And when they approached the officers were shot. First and then they returned fire. This is some of that press conference.

Uh listen to this. This is about these this shooting in Memphis. Mm-hmm. A total of three officers were struck by gunfire. Tragically One of our officers lost his life.

That officer is Joseph McKinney. He was assigned to the rain station. Apple shift. The second officer was brought here to Regional One. But thankfully He has been upgraded to non-critical condition and he's doing well.

The third officer was treated on the scene. and is in stable condition. One suspect was eighteen years old. And the other suspect It's 17 years old. Both suspects were transported to Regional One in critical condition.

Both of them sustained gunfire as well. One suspect has been pronounced deceased. The 18-year-old suspect was arrested. In March 2024 by MPD, in a stolen vehicle. With an illegal modified semi-automatic weapon with a Glock switch attached.

The Glock switch converted the weapon to a fully automatic machine gun. He was also charged at that time For two stolen vehicles, and having a programming device commonly used to steal cars. The suspect was released at that time without bond. I'm sorry, what? We have notified the District Attorney's Office Uh What?

He was released? Yeah, he was out and able to kill that officer because he was previously released. Why Was he not in prison? The sus the second suspect was seventeen, right?

So why Was this AT why was this dude not in prison? Oh, probably because You know what? Let me pull this up. You know what? I had a piece on this.

Probably 'cause you got a psoros back D A. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. There you go. Yes, that is true. National groups flooding local prosecutor races with money.

Super PAC, funded by George Soros. This is one of the first hits that came up. George Soros back, DA? Yep.

Soros-funded Progressive DA. Oh yeah.

So there that's why. That's why he was allowed to walk. Thanks, George Soros, and all the left that supports that.

So that officer's dead because Soros money and the left. Got that. bad Soros back DA in there. You know how this like o often this happens? This is this is just horrific.

And I really feel like I told, I was on Jesse Waters about this last night. I'm telling you. The left is desperately trying to get a summer of rage going. They are desperate. I was sitting there.

On waiting, waiting to go live, and Jesse was going through his monologue on that. Dexter Reed case. Very similar to this case. You got a youth who just opens open fire on cops. Except this one, you got a a cop killed.

In the case of Reed in Chicago, you had an injured cop. And I'm sitting there. And listening to Jesse's monologue, and I was all cool and chill. And I just got pissed. I was sitting there getting enraged.

Because even though I mean I we knew this we talked about it yesterday But I'm sitting there and I'm listening because even more politicians have come out and they've they're now they're a little quiet today. Because this, even though this happened, You know, a couple months ago the the foddy footage just came out this week. And I'm sitting there listening to this. And It's amazing to me. that immediately people want to find fault with the police.

And they're like wool. In the Dexter Reed case, why were there six cops there? I don't know, maybe 'cause the dude already had a warrant out. Hit a felony warrant. He was on pretrial release.

On previous felony weapon charges, three of them. He was wearing a damn ski mask. Did you see that video? He had a ski mask on. Driving around his vehicle with a ski mask.

The same car registered to his name. He all he had the his tinted windows And look, I'm going to tell you, and Kane's right on this. We're from St. Louis, all right? We are from St.

Louis. I lived in downtown St. Louis. All right. Cops don't give a rat's backside who you are.

You got tinted windows like that, you're getting pulled over. That's the that is how it works. It doesn't matter who you are, what you are, what kind of car you're driving. I had a girlfriend. Who has lived in town and country?

She lived her husband was uh a paralegal. She lived in town and country. She was driving downtown St. Louis. She got pulled over.

Right when you're going in, Kane, on forty, getting on going into downtown 'cause the firm was downtown, she got pulled over 'cause her tended windows. Mm. She had a nice car. I remember when she got those two, and I'm like, you're going to get in trouble because you can't, whether or not you agree with it or not. That's just well, that's law.

How are you gonna enforce it? She got pulled over. They cited her for that. She was like, I tried acting sad. I'm like, that's not going to work.

It's not going to work for you. They're not going to do that. She totally got sighted. He didn't shoot at the top. Yeah, and she also guess what she lived, 'cause she didn't open fire on the cops.

Hi, I'm Margaret, a rhetoric and media major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President Dr. Larry Arne with a Constitution Minute. Many argue today that the Constitution is outdated. because it addresses problems peculiar to the 18th century so long ago.

And some of it does read sort of quaintly. But consider the injunction against titles of nobility in Article I, Section 9, for example. Is that so outdated? The purpose of that injunction is to prevent the government granting special privileges for partisan reasons. This strikes at the rule of law, the rule under which we're all to be treated the same.

The crony capitalism so common today, where the government gives favors and tax dollars to some businesses and advantages over others, is exactly the kind of thing the Constitution was meant to prohibit. The Constitution is not outdated at all. To learn more and get a free pocket constitution, visit constitutionminute.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Uh What? What?

Cain. Um So this is Channel 4 in Tennessee. A bill that would make first cousin marriage illegal in Tennessee passes, but not without a fight. What?

Um Did you say first cousin? Yeah, first cousin. Oh, hey, you guys! First cousin. Yeah, first cousin.

I didn't know that you could do that there. Apparently, you can until I guess now.

So you can't. Marry your first cousin in Tennessee now. Aren't there genetic negative mutations involved with first cousin blood? Yeah. Like idiocy.

I mean we that's why jokes are around. That's literally why jokes exist. I did not know there was a thing. Consider me floored. Actually, on that stupid questionnaire I just had to answer, I'm gonna modify my answer and just say that.

Uh let's see. Credit card delinquency rates were worst on record in a new study released. You knew that was coming. They were the highest on record in the fourth quarter, according to the Federal Reserve of Philly. 3.5% of credit card balances are at least 30 days past due.

Everybody's putting stuff on credit, too. Drug shortages have reached an all-time high. I mean, Biden's just doing just, you know. Just doing great, guys. We have more in store.

So people, many people will go hungry before they let their pet suffer. They'll share what little food they have with their pet. That's number one. Number two, for many people, their pet is their only family. Cody's friends partners with local food banks to make sure everyone in the family gets a meal.

There are people who are in need who come for food, and there was one couple that came up and My wife had asked whether they needed any dog or cat food, and they just started crying because what they had been doing was sharing the food from their table, which they have very little of, with their pet. And each year they give more and more. Cody's Friends provides both cat and dog food to people in need, and they distribute 22,000 pounds of pet food each month, which is over $10,000. The price of pet food has almost doubled, and the need has gone up dramatically. The number of people in need, you know, with the economy as it is.

We're seeing a lot more people. Gosh, that's so sad. This is making me sad. Damn you, Joe Biden. Oh Oh, that's so that's heartbreaking.

That is heartbreaking. Welcome back to the program. Goodness. Dana Lash here with you. Now we're all depressed.

I would share I'd totally share my food with my dog. I totally would. Right. Yeah, I would. Dogs are the best people sometimes.

I'd go hunting for my dog. Yeah, I totally would. Yeah. I would I'd totally share a snack. I mean, unless it was like chocolate or something like that, because that's not good for them, you know, supposedly.

So, again, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast. All that good stuff. And uh This I'm telling you, the economy, and then now with foreign policy going from our pets being.

Feels like uh what is that movie I'm thinking of dumb and dumber? Our pets' heads are falling off Think about it. Good night. I was reading this piece, Iran's threatening the United States. Stay out of fight with Israel or else.

Um. Will you? That would be my response. You. What are you talking about?

They've threatened to attack American targets, and apparently they're kind of telegraphing. a planned assault on Israel. And this is what Axios has been Reporting. Jennifer Griffin said to Neil Cavuto earlier that she had never seen things so tense, with the potential, quote, for a wider war breaking out with Israel and Iran. which could draw everybody into a Middle East war.

And Well, wait a minute.

Well, why does Iran care? Because, oh, wait, that's all their proxy groups. Remember they always denied always denied, even though everybody knew it. Funding Hamas or Hezbollah. They always denied it, but.

I mean, what does this tell you? Exactly. Apparently, U.S. officials said in recent days that Iranians told several Arab governments that they see the U.S. as responsible for the Israeli attack that killed the Iranian general in Damascus.

Uh who cares? Whah How many of our troops have you killed? Seriously, how many troops have I have has Iran killed? And apparently, the country sent a message to the Biden administration through several Arab countries. Earlier this week, that if the U.S.

gets involved in the fighting between Israel and Iran, then UN then US forces in the region will be attacked. Yeah, you Iran doesn't get to tell us anything. You don't get to tell us nothing. Not a thing. See you again.

You know what would be great if the United States was in the position? First off, of having the spine to do this, the political will to do it, and enough people to be able to carry it out. Just position. You know, maybe Um Maybe it's, you know, oh, what are the what I'm the what what's the weapon system I'm thinking of, Kane, where basically it's from space. Not a space laser.

I can't think of the name of it right now. It's a legit thing. You're talking about Star Wars? No, no, we were worried about Russia having it. I can't think of it.

It's Friday. My brain's turning to mush. I've fried myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The It'd be great if the United States had the capability, the political will, the spine, blah, blah, blah.

And we just had Weaponized, maybe some weapons, I don't know, up in the sky, in space, whatever. And we just We just coordinate all of them to be above certain enemy assets. All over the world. Just saying. You know, they're they're say that they're ahead of they're above Iranian assets.

their nuclear facilities. Anywhere that anybody, anybody that would attack us, any of their nuclear facilities, anything. And then we could make the threat well Iran. We're gonna blow you out of the sky. And 24 hours, we're going to turn you to glass.

24 hours. You have to decouple from Hamas, decouple from Hezbollah. And GTFO. Or we are going to obliterate you. And if anyone even so much as flinches towards your general direction, they will get the exact same.

response and then we And then we just show them postcards basically of our weaponry above their assets. I don't know, that would be nice but we don't have we can't do that 'cause, you know, it's We get upset over pancake syrup. Right to the butter. Thought we were gonna fly in cars in that. Nope.

Nope, instead we got somebody at Health and Human Services who's a dude but is a says he's a chick.

Okay.

Anyway, So They don't get to tell us anything. And if they threaten direct retaliation. First off, if they launch a strike on Israel, Israel will attack their nuclear facilities. And Iran doesn't want that. That's why they've used these proxy groups for so long.

But one of the reasons that they're also kind of in this position is that some of the proxy groups have been wondering literally aloud on X, what are they getting out of this? What are they getting out of this situation? What are they getting out of this little setup? they've been wondering that.

So, I mean, I think it's, you know, they're they're trying to figure out, well, Um We've been doing this for such a long time. What's the. Give and take here. We don't want to just be your attack dogs. What do we get?

And they've actually been questioning that publicly.

So Iran was kind of, they're in a bit of a sticky wicket. As it were. Because that general in Damascus That was a pretty baller move. That was kind of a checkmate move there. And I don't care if Iran thinks that the United States was involved in it.

Iran has killed so many of our American soldiers. I have a friend who doesn't have legs because of an Iranian mine.

So now. They don't get to sit here and tell the United States, you don't Who is you? Sit down. We kill our enemies on Christmas. Going back to the Revolutionary War.

They wake up in the middle of the night, the Hessians, and we murk them.

So just saying, uh That's uh that's something to keep an eye on for sure. I wanted to share this with you. I think we have audio of this. Did you guys see? First off, I'm.

My friend Dave Burge, I don't know if you guys have heard the Leopard Eating Party. You know what I'm going with this. Cain, the lev the face eating party or whatever.

So it's a meme, it's pretty old. And This Twitter user, this was back in like 2015. And this applies here.

Somebody tweeted, quote, I never thought leopards would eat my face, sobs a woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. I feel like that's applicable in this story that I'm about to share with you. This is in this is at UC Berkeley.

So the dean the of l the law the law school dean. AUC Berkeley. invited some of the law students over to his house. for dinner with him and his wife. It's the Oakland home of Erwin Chmerinsky.

and it was the first of three dinners that they had planned to host. But then Uh Malake. Affinay, who was the co-president of Berkeley Law Students for Justice in the fake place called Palestine. Rose to protest the school's investment in arms manufacturers for Israel. And then the Law school professor Catherine Fisk, who is Sherminsky's wife.

Shemerinsky's wife was filmed trying to take the woman's cell phone out of her hand As she filmed, And she was like, this is our house. And these people The students go, You violated our constitutional rights. Wow.

Someone give them. They need a refund. On anything that they paid, learning about law at UC Berkeley. Yeah, we need the refund. Screw you.

Give us our money back, you rat welfare bastards. Done with this. I'm not apologizing for my Portuguese either.

Sometimes it's got to be said, y'all. I'm not big bird, okay? Not here to entertain y'all's kids. Saying a sermon. And the it ma it amazes me because the The wife is like, this is our home.

What did you think was going to happen?

So again, my friend Dave Burgess said, I can't believe the leopards ate my face, said the professor who hosted the leopards eating people's faces party in his backyard. Like what in the world did you think was going to happen? They're like, oh, you violated our constitutional rights. You don't have constitutional rights. at someone's private house in their back yard.

You don't have constitutional rights. to go into somebody's house and start yelling. It's filming. Yeah, while you're filming. And the wife says, This is not your house, it's my house, and I want you to leave.

And so they start saying, get out of our house, get out of our house, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You have to leave, you have to leave, blah, blah, blah. And they just I mean, first off, that's just trashy to do that to somebody else's house. But I expect nothing less from people who think it's okay to attack your sovereign neighbor to the north and rape people to death because your attempts at colonization over land that was given to you, like a welfare benefit in 2005, were unsuccessful because you stupidly decided to elect a terrorist group to turn things into the hellscape that it is now. And so It just was a hot mess.

Do we have any video? Do we have some of those? It just ended up being a hot mess. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

But what did they think was going to happen? I don't know. That she felt assaulted. By Fisk. You felt assaulted?

Are you serious? She said, yeah, we we felt assaulted. And she says the aggression with which she ran at me. She saw my hijab, and that was a risk for her. Wait a minute.

No, I think she saw the fact that you stood up and began disrupting their private event. Actually, why am I defending them? Let them eat each other. I don't care. This is what happens.

You made your bed and lie in it. Rah, rah, rah. There you go. Date, this is what happens. Right?

Oh, yeah. You had this kinda event at your house. But the one chick with the r uh that has the uh She's like, yeah, she saw my hijab. And that was, well, she saw your hijab at school. And then she saw it when she invited you to her home for dinner.

And then. She saw it again when you stood up and you decided to ruin the dinner and disrupt everything and be a horrible guest and show a complete lack of. gratitude for being given a free meal and invited to someone's home. What I mean, for crying out loud. But yeah, let him let them eat each other up.

I don't care. This is what happens. You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. The Leopard's Eating Faces Party There it is. Right there.

You know what? Maybe that should be a real party. I'm supposed to answer this questionnaire that one of our team members at Radio America sent. And I do not like questionnaires. And like one of the questions, like, what are you obsessed with?

And I'm like, I'm not obsessed with anything, really. But now I kind of am obsessed with the Leopards Eating Faces party. If I'm thinking about it, I don't think that qualifies. Di I want to make those buttons. The Leopard Eating Faces Party.

It's my party. Oh. That's what we need to do. We need, yeah, patch ops. We need like the Leopards Eating Faces party, like official merch.

Because that sounds like something I could get behind. You know what I mean? Could you not get behind that? Like, I don't even know who their candidate would be. Screw no labels, man.

Celebrity didn't faces party. That's what it's at that's where it's all at.

Alright, we got more in store. We got Florida, man. I'm almost terrified to read some of those headlines today 'cause The yesterday's ones of the two dudes? Yeah. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida Man.

So, uh Mm-hmm. WFLA says a Florida man was accused of stealing some lobster tails. and rotisserie chicken from a Walmart. And uh he got in trouble. He stole a number of delicacies from his ambitious shopping list.

That sounds like a great album name. From Walmart last week, according to Nassau County Sheriff's Office, Kareem Griffin of Jacksonville, excuse me, age 46. Was arrested. He stole nine lobster tails. Four premium ribeye steaks, two packages of snow crab legs, and a rotisserie chicken.

Out of Walmart, and uh, I trying to figure out, well, it's not gonna be cheap because of inflation. And but now you know, you heard that about that bug meat, all the plastics in it now.

So, yeah, he got in a lot of trouble. They said that, uh, His motives appear unclear because he wanted to steal. Yep.

So I'm always like, well, his motives were unclear.

Well, clearly he was going to eat them. And that's, yeah, he didn't want to have to. He didn't want to have to pay. Uh let's see this nope mm-mm. Not going to do that one.

Uh this though, this guy's a Florida guy attacked a pole contractor. With a baseball bat, apparently, for why in the world? Uh This is from WFLA and everything's freezing again because it wouldn't be. That's so ridiculous. I'm trying to open this up, everything's freezing.

So This Florida man was accused of attacking this contractor with a baseball bat, and apparently was captured on video as well. Lee County Sheriff's Office said Richard Anthony Daniels was arrested outside of his home following the alleged attack. He knocked a ball cap off the contractor's head, it fell into the pool, and then he went in, got a baseball bat, and then came back and. Hit the contractor. on the side of the head.

This dude's got a huge knot on the side of his head, too.

So now the homeowner faces a charge of aggravated battery with the deadly weapon. And he was released from jail on bond. on Wednesday. And then this Florida man was accused of threatening an eleven year old with a knife. for riding their their bike on the sidewalk.

That's an easement. The boy's mother said the man pointed the knife right at her son's chest because he was upset that the boy was riding his bike on the sidewalk. And the boy's mom, Tina Cameso said, well, we're actually headed towards our home. It's down here. I would have whooped oh man.

I always carry, so that would have been bad. I legit would have, he'd have been, that'd have ended differently. You gotta be kidding me. He's a little fifth grade boy. And he said he should be in the bike lane on the street, not on the sidewalk.

He's 11 years old. What if he wasn't that great of a bike rider? Shut up, you gazer. We got more on the way. Stick with us.

Hey everybody, so as the head of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, I'm very excited to tell you that as of today we are closing the gun show loophole. Basically we are requiring that anybody who sells guns as a dealer has to do background checks. And what we know is this is going to save lives.

So it's an important step forward. We got more to do. We need to pass an assault weapons ban. We need red flag laws and universal background checks. But good news to report today.

See, that's not good news, you absolute flippin' liar. That's what they already do. Guys, guess what? We got good news today. We're going to make people do things that they already do.

Isn't that amazing?

So amazing, guys. We're like going to close this thing that doesn't exist. It's so amazing. Like, OMJ. People already do that.

Don't you think that if you're going to be in charge of the ministry of taking guns, then you should at least know a little bit? About it? Because that's what if the fact that she uses the term dealer Two. She's like, well, you know, if you're selling guns, if you're a gun dealer, you have to. Yeah, to run a background check.

Guess what? Kamala, they dare run background checks. They already do that.

So You're announcing that they did something they're already doing. Welcome back to the show, by the way. Daniel Lash here with you. The top of this third hour, you can listen coast to coast. You can stream us on X also, channel 347 DirecTV.

We're all over the Webernets. I just get aggravated about this because This It's goofy. This whole law that they're trying to, this is part of that, what is it, the something make communities safer but not really act? That they passed, and they're trying to say, oh, we got this new rule for gun sales. It closes the loophole.

Again, I just want to remind everybody. There's no such thing as a loophole. And I want Democrats to stop calling criminal acts loopholes. I gave the example to you yesterday of if you have a suspended license and you drive a vehicle anyway, is that a loophole? And the answer is no.

It's a criminal act.

So if you are flouting existing law, regarding carry or possession or sale of a firearm, That's not a loophole. That's a criminal Action. And you would think that the former top cop of California would know the law on that. That's a federal statute.

So What they're Trying to say is they're trying to say, and this is what Merrick Garland, Merrick Garland, I'm going to pull this up. This is an ATF. an ATF statement that they came out with yesterday. And Garland was saying, Well, under this regulation, this was his quote: it will not matter if guns are sold on the internet or at a gun show or at a brick-and-mortar store. If you sell guns to predominantly earn a profit, you must be licensed and you must conduct background checks.

Okay, so again. That also applies. I mean, you have all of these media entities that are. Just parroting what Merrick Garland is saying here as though that's the truth of the matter. This is already literally law.

You know what? Let me just Google the statute. It's USC. Uh it's it's 18, uh subsection 922, and then you get into the alphabets.

So It is Actually, the the statute's 18 USC 922 gets into unlawful acts. Yeah. And it goes into prohibited and people who are not prohibited. And it goes into the licensing that you are required to have. If you are a dealer, if you are an importer, if you are a manufacturer, if you are what type of collector you may be.

It gets into all of this stuff. I mean, it's all here in black and white. I mean, it even gets into ammunition, it gets into delivery, getting down to subsection B of 922. It gets into selling or delivering to prohibited people, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But this idea that.

Uh This law doesn't exist. It's literally. Write the first paragraph. of this statute. discusses it.

So everybody's parroting this stuff as though, oh gosh, we don't even have any laws on this. Can you believe all the people? This is not private sales. Commercial sales, if you're doing a commercial sale, you have to undergo a background check. And the ATF, they're trying to figure out who, like they're to nail down the who in the what.

Like, all right, so who are the people that are doing That are engaged in these sales? Who are the people that are doing the business? And the problem is that. They act as though this is a universal issue when it's not. Criminals are not going to undergo background checks.

Criminals don't go and get their guns from federal firearms licensees. They never have. There was a 2016 survey, again, that the DOJ did under the Obama - this is Obama era. It came out with the survey. And they talked to all of these felons, all of these people who were still incarcerated, and they asked them, where did you get your guns?

And everybody said on the black market. We got it on the black market. Or the smallest, the next answer, which was the smallest answer, because there were really only two, was oh, they were stolen. Everybody bought them on the black market, though. And why is there a black market?

Cain, why is there a black market? What is the purpose of having a black market? Gun for money exchange for criminals. You mean to circumvent law? Yeah.

Yeah, so they don't have to do what are those checks things, those background checks. Yeah. So they don't have to go through a background check. Not everyone is as dumb as Hunter Biden.

Okay, he was an exception. I get that the president's cracked-out, you know, flabby old 50-something-year-old Hobegs on. decided to lie on his forty four seventy three. At the exact same time that he writes in his memoir that he was coked out of his mind. And then he goes and buys a gun.

Yeah, that's kind of super illegal. I get that he's dumb enough to fill out an FFL. Doesn't mean all the other criminals are, okay? The majority of them get their guns on the black market and the black market exists to bypass background checks, to bypass this very thing. There is not any law that you are going to pass to make an existing crime illegal or You see what I'm saying?

There's not any law that you're going to pass. It's not like criminals are going, well, I was going to go and purchase This SBR On the black market, and then I realized, you know, we just got new laws for background checks. I shouldn't do that. I'm gonna turn my life around. That's not what happens.

That's not that's not how this works. They they don't that's never, literally never how this works. And they, the problem is that they really want. They're trying to scare people into thinking that anybody who even does so much is like a private legal sale. And what do I mean by private sales?

If you have a firearm and you live in your state, you got a rifle, you live in your state of residence, and you want to sell it to someone that you know who also lives in your state, and both of you are completely legal and able to carry, sell, blah, blah, blah. It's your private property, so you can. It's still federally regulated, however, because if that person is a prohibited possessor, turns out to be a prohibited possessor, and they find out that you knew and you sold it anyway, you both get hit.

So, you can't say that there's not really any area of this that's not under the eye of Sauron here. You know what I mean? It's like all covered. But what they're trying to say though is that They're trying to make you confused as to whether or not you actually need a federal firearms license. Because what they put in here, and this is what they're they're actually making the language dumber.

They were adding that there was no minimum threshold number of firearms purchased or sold that triggers the licensing requirement, really. What?

Because They have it, the ATF's language now is if you sell X amount and you get X amount of your income. from sales, you have to get a license. But now they're trying to make you think that a single sale will trigger that and get you in trouble. Because this is a way that they want to push you into having a complete and total registry.

Somebody sent me And I don't know what it was. I saw Sometimes I see stuff like this from good meaning lawmakers, and then I just, I'm like, golly. It was somebody, it was some state lawmaker here in Texas who was introducing, no, we're not going to have a gun registry. And I guess they wanted me to have him on air and talk about it. And I'm like, dude, we already had that's already federal law.

Don't sit here and propose something that could actually undermine the strength of the original. Don't do that. We don't got strong enough Republicans in Texas right now to do that. Don't be doing that.

So That's the thing, it it's already Against the law to have a national registry, but they want to undo that, and that's this is a step towards this. If they make everyone afraid that even one sale is going to trigger that, and that they may they may because you know what it means to have a license, right? Government gets to know everything you have. That's why I never got that's why I will not be licensed. I will not get an FFL.

I will be Inconvenienced and have to travel to my FFL to pick up purchases and to do my transactions because I am not going to have. Offer up my house for inspection by the government and all that other stuff.

Furthermore, you saw what happened in New York, right? When they published all those FFLs, remember that? That was like a few years ago. They put up a map. They had a map of it.

You know how many people? are actually not. You know, firearms dealers, they just want to be at their, some of them are collectors and they, you know, they just do for their own. I mean, duh. It's wild.

They also did that with uh LTC holders up there too. Wild. NSSF says that there's going to be some issues with this because it's going to lead to this deluge of FFL applications. And that's going to be problematic. Larry Keene came out, he had a sent this up to the Steve Dettelbach.

Yeah, the cat who runs ATF. And he's like, you realize that this is going to create. A bit of a sticky wicket, right? It's going to create a bit of an issue because you're going to have all these forms going forward. And he says, there's going to be a fright, you're going to frighten an untold number of collectors and other people who aren't actually even in the business.

of selling guns. You're going to try to make them get licenses out of fear, and that's what this is. Because you have to pay to maintain the license, you have to go through all this stuff to maintain the license, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And so, this is why, NSSF said, this is why Congress is trying to define. who was actually participating or that's not the word they used.

engaged, engaged in the business. Of selling. And that was with the Firearm Owners Protection Act. That was like back in the 80s, and they had too many, they had too many licensees. The ATF couldn't even keep track of all of it.

So, you need to be aware of this stuff. Because this is one of the things that they're going to use to push you towards a registry. You don't want to registry. Do you want the government knowing everything you got? It's like go ahead and go ahead and give a bunch of government strangers your uh security your code, your pin for your security system too.

Go ahead and give them your social, go ahead and give them the uh that code on your credit card, you know, if you 'cause that's really what you're doing. Asinine. These people haven't even demonstrated a working education to be to for me to even consider their proposals. If I think you're dumber than me on an issue, I won't even give you the time of day. I don't feel like I should have to follow any law that's created by someone who knows less about it than I do.

I feel like that should be You should have to take a firearms literacy test to be able to make gun law. You should also have to take an economic literacy test in order to make economic law. That's another issue. We have more on the way. including GOP in the House, and I don't know why Republicans, we've been talking about this for the last few days with regard to the Arizona thing.

I need all the Republicans to just shut up about all the abortion stuff. The Arizona thing is going to play out. I think Carrie Lake needs to slow her damn roll. I think a lot of other people do too. When you, I mean, we got the CPI numbers that were out Wednesday, disastrous.

How in the world are you going to let Democrats sit here and rob you of that talking point? That reality that everybody else lives in. You know why people are flocking towards not voting for Joe Biden? Because they're broke. Don't let them try to drag it over to this.

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

So Disney says that it was protecting its First Amendment rights when they fired Gina Carano, which is. The most ironic thing I can ever imagine.

Now, Carano is criticizing Disney, and she said that, because remember, she was in The Mandalorian, she's gonna have, she was on the show to talk about it, she was gonna have a whole spin-off. Her character, Cara Dune, was gonna have her its own, her character was gonna have its own spin-off from The Mandalorian. And she had posted on Instagram that Jewish people in the Holocaust were beaten up for their religious beliefs. And she asked, How is it different from today hating somebody for their political views? And everyone just got mad because she reminded them of an inconvenient fact.

And so they fired her.

So, and then later, Disney's arguing that, oh, it's because our First Amendment right to Free speech, and she says, What a double standard. And it's true. I mean, it is that's the irony. Um This headline, so it's from Axios. It says, With pets becoming family bereavement leave gains steam.

And they're wanting time off when their animals pass away, when the people want time off when their pets pass away.

Now, as a crazy dog lover who basically has two shrines to each of my dogs that passed away, and I don't think that anyone treated their dogs more like people than me. This is dumb. Stop it. Stop it. I feel like Bob Newhart from SNL.

Stop it. Just don't do it. Just quit. At some point, it gets a little bit too much, right? The idea of a business paying for you.

In that regard, it's silly. I understand family bereavement and all that, but let's come on. Yeah, I that's family bereavement is one thing, but for your pets. I mean, I came on air the day after we, I mean, I was on air after we put Louis down. I was literally on air the day after.

And Rocco, unfortunately, was over a weekend. Where should I say, fortunately, was over a weekend, but I was still on air Monday. You know, this is goofy when people do this. The um Let's see. Oh, I'm going to do the wolf hybrids.

Wolf hybrids gone feral, roaming Northern California.

Now, As a pet lover, I'm gonna be honest. My first thought. Was free pets? That was my first thought. It's uh they say a pack of wolf-like dogs.

They're they're hybrids Are on the loose in the Shingletown area of Northern California, according to a press release from the Shaunsta County Sheriff's Office. They said they're aware that six of the wolf-type animals remain in the wild. They're trying to capture them. They were notified of the hybrids last week when the pat killed another dog in the area. And uh they said they're like wolf husky malamute hybrids.

And uh so they're Apparently, it's not totally legal to own one, so I guess there goes my free pet idea. Stay with us. SADS. Craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline? Look no further than the Dana Show podcast, where curiosity meets courage, by following on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Senator, I always thought you were an anti-racist, but it seems like you value Israeli lives more than you value Palestinian lives. Is that true?

So You think an Israeli life is more valuable than a Palestinian life? Who's this moron talking to? Oh man, first off, welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of the third hour.

Kane, I'm in a weird. position here. Because He's a Democrat. He's a Democrat.

Now don't don't mistake me. I'm not like yay Fetterman Sir. But I've kind of been like that, though. What?

I'm not so easily swayed. It takes a bit of time. I've kind of gay Fetterman for about a month and a half. I gave him a hoodie pass.

Okay, don't sit here and be like, Dana, I want more. It says, No, I gave him the hoodie pass. But I actually, like, if I was there, I think I would have immediately gotten in that dude's face. I can't you know what I can't stand the most? And so for the boomers out there that listen, and I don't say that as a pejorative.

I think they hate these people too. You know like the old hippie boomer and not the good ones? Like the good ones that will leave you alone and they don't care what you do. Like, those were the type of hippie boomer grandparents that didn't care if you were out all day, just you know, don't hurt yourself, and they let you like have fun as a kid. I'm not talking about those people.

I'm talking about Like the ones who are like that guy. that he's got that smarmy Pacifist tone, but he's not being a pacifist. He acts like he's being very aggressive, but he acts like he's being passive-aggressive. You know what I mean? Like that kind of guy.

And I swear to you, it's only the mean hippie boomers that do that. Right? That is literally a trait and a style. that only the mean hippie boomers have. And it I I just find it psychologically fascinating.

I had to point that out. Because you all know an older person like that, and they were the ones who constantly got onto you when you were a kid, too. But my whole thing is that He's in he's there Like, I guess you care more about Israeli lives than Palestinian. And Fetterman just doesn't even GAF. He's just sitting there.

Was he drinking a sodium? He's sitting on a bench. He's drinking a sodium. He's trying to see what kind of soda it was. Living his life.

In his hoodie, you know. It has to be che Steve, can I bother you? What's what's the temperature in DC today? Oh, it rained last night. I woke up.

Let's see, I'll turn my phone here. It is 66. He's in shorts and it's 66 degrees outside. I think he wears the hoodie even if it's like ninety. But he's one of those dudes who wear shorts outside when it's like 20 degrees.

I don't understand. He's not like that anymore, but I remember being that way. I need a coat. If it's 66 degrees. coat weather.

Yeah. Nope. My point is, though, he's sitting there and he's chilling. It looks like he was like on a break and he was just trying to take a, you know, enjoy the nice air outside. And then these losers come up.

Why don't you care more about Israel? What do wa I He just doesn't feel like even engaging anymore. He's like, still with Israel. What does that even mean? You care more about Israeli lives than Palestinian?

What kind of stupid loaded question is that? I mean, you're talking about something that's real and something that isn't. First off, you mean Gazans. I'm not talking about the made-up term that colonizers want to use to describe something as a way to claim it without any kind of accountability. No, we're not talking about that.

But furthermore, isn't that kind of where you are? Because, like, you didn't get your tie-dye self all worked up until Israel decided to hit back. Where were all y'all when they were like when Hamas was breaking ceasefires, right? Where were all y'all when they were digging tunnels under the ground and sending over suicide bombers and et cetera, et cetera? I mean, 20 years of this.

Come on. Apparently, they liked Hamas lives over Israeli lives. Yeah, you do you value Hamas lives over innocent Israeli lives and American lives? Is that what it is? Gosh, his smarmy tone.

Emily there Oh, gosh, it boils the blood, doesn't it? Oh, oh, I can't stand that. And then these people sitting all around it, they're all in hippie clothes, aren't they? Yeah, they're the mean ones. They're the ones we don't like.

You can't sit with us. That's just that's just ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ah But that's uh That's I I thought you were anti-racist, but you've out what does that even have to Sorry, full stop.

So he's trying to call him a racist? This stupid old man's trying to call him a racist? Because what? I thought you were anti-racist, but it seems like you value these lives. They aren't black!

What's the matter with you? St we gotta inject race into everything. Of course, it's an old white progressive trying to inject race into something. Shocker. Good grief.

I'm trying to be nice. It's Friday. Is that a priest standing there? This is like a bar joke. A priest?

John Fetterman, a priest, and a hippie walking to a bar. I mean. Who is the priest that's standing there. Who is that? guy.

Why are his pants too tight? That's the other question. You saw it too, didn't you? You're like, no man's legs. I'm sorry.

stove pipes like that. You need to have a little give. All right, so. I I'm going to try to move on. But I kind of I kind of feel bad for him.

I, you know, just saying, I just, I don't know.

So, the other stuff we're looking at with the house and all this jazz. is uh I'm looking at the names of the people who voted. Uh against that amendment? to require a warrant. That was from earlier.

Because, you know, they pass.

So the way that this, the way that this. is right now they had The Pfizer required probable cause to get the warrant right for a US citizen. And that's what they did. Remember, we talked about the 2016, the Carter page, et cetera, et cetera. We talked about that whole story, and that's what they abused in order to try to substantiate that.

And They were trying to Uh this is looking at the 702 section, 702 searches. And it gets into without getting into the weeds. the abuse of that section That is when there are unauthorized searches done by members of the, you know, like whether it's FBI or whatever. That they recognize that they're actually abusing the system and they're making these searches when they shouldn't be. They were the, we talked about this in depth yesterday, but remember they said they had the letter that they had written, oh, we're going to do better, et cetera, et cetera.

And that's after they got in trouble. The FISA judge lost her job, et cetera. Um but Here's my question. And maybe I'm missing something. But if they're doing this in violation of FISA already.

And I want the warrant requirement. Don't mistake me. But if they're doing this in violation of FISA already, is this actually going to change anything? I mean, Who's to say that they couldn't just abuse it like they did in the Page situation, the Carter Page case? Who's to say that they couldn't just do that, right?

Because they went to the FISA judge. They didn't go through the full process and they got the warrant and all of that, but. They abused the they they follow protocol, but they in a way, sort of, but they abused the process because they lied. They didn't disclose to the judge who paid for the information that they were using as evidence to get the warrant. That was the big thing.

There's a lot of questions with that.

Alright, so a few other things. I want to make sure we're getting all of the audio here as well. Um we were talking about uh the abortion situation with um Arizona, this seems audio soundbite 17. I want to hear this soundbite because it has to do with Trump talking about Obamacare. And Carol Roth made a good point about this too, by the way, which we'll get to in a moment.

Listen to this. I'm not running to terminate the ACA, as crooked Joe Biden says all over the place. I'm running to close the border, stop inflation, make our economy great, strengthen our military, and make the ACA, or Obamacare, as it's sometimes known, much better, stronger, and far less expensive, because it's much too expensive now, and it's not very good. Why did it even bring that up? Mm-hmm.

Kane. Oh, I think somebody in his campaign said, Hey, Biden's hitting you on this particular subject. You're going to have to go out there and, you know. Clear it up. And I think that's literally what Obamacare sucks.

Oh, it totally sucks. But he's talking about all the things that suck about it. Yeah, you know what? The way you make it better is you get rid of it. Yeah.

Open it back up. States compete. My insurance is so much more expensive than it was. And then where we worked. Deductibles went through the roof.

They got because all the businesses, they had to dump you onto Obamacare because they were going to be fined if they didn't put you on Obamacare. And there are people on Obamacare now that are paying $400, $500, $600 a month for their health care. Just the insurance, not their health care. Then on top of that they'll have to pay. You know, whatever fees along with visiting the doctor, ER, the hospital, whatever the case may be.

He needs to not talk about this stuff because this is where I have massive disagreement with him.

Well, there's a lot of people out there that are experiencing how unaffordable the ACA is. And when they hear him say, I'm going to make it. More affordable. Gonna make it better. That's what we're going to have to see.

So either he's going to be able to talk about it.

So we've got to pass it to find out what he's going to do. Either he's going to have to talk more about it to articulate that, or he's going to have to shut up, I guess, huh? Yeah, because that does not do it. I mean, I hear that and I full stop. Dude.

I I get that everybody's arguing about Arizona abortion right now. And that's something that Arizona's going to have to deal with? That right there. That right there makes people like me go, the hell? That's I think politicians.

Everybody is a l Everybody's election frightened. Oh, everybody's terrified. Yeah. Republicans are terrified frightened. Everybody's election frightened.

They're so worried. Think about this. In a season sounds like a movie trailer. In a season when the economy is in shambles and inflation is setting records every quarter. Where people are having to choose between feeding themselves or their pets, where you will own nothing.

and be happy. This election season Instead of worrying about all of these issues, Republicans are answering the Democrat bait. of abortion. Because, see, that's what Democrats are doing right now. They're sitting there.

And they're looking at the economy, well, it can't take credit for that, damn. Looking at foreign policy. Oh my gosh, we got wars popping off galore. Yeah, don't even shake. They won't even look down at the border.

They're like, oh, wait a minute.

Next thing. They'd rather talk about the economy than the border. That's how bad it is. Yeah, I know.

So All they have is, well, I guess we'll sit here and scare the women about abortion. Yeah, that works. Oh, and then we'll let's get racist too. Let's uh let's bring up back racial politics. Yeah, that works.

A summer of riots and scaring the ladies about abortion. Yeah who? Yeah. And then they all hop in their boss dog car and drive away. That's how it works.

That's what they're doing. And how in the world Are I mean, how in the world are Republicans not? Running with this. Like, Kane just shared this thing with me. An illegal alien from Venezuela.

went to Ohio and tried to rob the damn bank.

Okay, try to rob a bank in Ohio. Columbus, Ohio. From Venezuela. He couldn't speak English.

So he typed his demands. into a translator app on his phone. Come on. And this is the second, third, fourth, sorry, fifth. Just in the past Seven days, sorry, illegal alien who was arrested.

There's another guy who's arrested for all kinds of drugs and. weaponry and everything else. No, this guy. He tries to rob a bank using a translator app. This is a stick up.

Literally what he did. That's how bad the border is. You got people coming across the border to rob banks and they can't even speak English, so they type it into the translator app. I have a gun. This is a stick-up.

Give me all your money. That's what they're doing. I mean, Republicans, that's an ad. That is an ad. And instead, what are they doing?

Carrie Lake's out there terrified about abortion, so she's running as a moderate now. She's disavowed that Supreme Court ruling, and again, they didn't make law. The state law kicked in in absence of a federal law. It's not really, it's not Kerry Lake's fault or Republicans' fault or anybody else's fault that Democrats. did not do anything in that state since 1846 to change that.

Democrats are caught Flat-footed on this. No, instead. You got all these all these Republicans. That are freaking out, and now they're all arguing with each other. And you've got Biden doing a what is it, a seven-figure ad buy in the state.

They want to flip it. They make doing a seven-figure ad buy on abortion, according to CBS. And that's what there are, ladies. You don't care about the economy. We're going to talk to you about abortion.

Abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion. You dump rods don't understand anything but abortion. That's what they're telling you. And then they're like, Trump, if Donald Trump gets back into power, what freedom will you lose next? I'm sorry, freedom to.

Choice before conception. Freedom to what? That's the Supreme Court ruling. Goodness. That's what I'm talking about.

This is this is asinine. This headline, Abortion ruling is a full-on disaster for Arizona Republicans. Republicans got to stop taking the bait on this. Your response is There's exceptions for the life of a mother. It's not our fault that Democrats didn't do anything in the state since 1846.

Where were they? They jeopardize this whole thing. Because they had a dumb Supreme Court case that they made the law of the land, and then they didn't do anything as a plan B, as per usual. How's this our problem? Are we to do Democrats' work for them?

That's your response, Republicans, instead of this nonsense that I keep seeing. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. And it's also just worth noting how much was impacted by this trial, Jake.

So many things happened. We saw policing changing here in the city. And it's also worth noting because of that unrest, that racial unrest in the 90s, that is why so many people who may not have been invested in O.J. Simpson were just happy to see that someone who was rich and famous and black could get away with what other people did in the system as well, too.

So Yeah. Yeah. I Don't even know what that was. That's uh CNN Stephanie Elam. And her hairline reporting on O.J.

Simpson, like that. That's. Just saw what you put in slack. Yeah. That's.

Crazy.

Well, it's because of the system. It's no No, that's not you don't You don't fix injustice with injustice, though, by the way. You don't do that. Good night. All right, we got a roll.

Today in stupidity, Kane, I almost took it up for you. This is going to be Corrine Jean-Pierre. She's claiming that executive action is not going to actually be like full resources for border security, even though. That's exactly what Trump did, but here we go. No executive action is going to have the full resources that we need to get this done.

It was way better under Trump, and he used a lot of executive orders there.

So, gosh, nothing but lies from this administration. And Biden's now flirting with the idea of doing another executive one to help with the border since it's hurting him so bad in the polls. Yeah.
