Thursday April 18 - Full Show

Congressman Bishop didn't have the profile. And Senator Britt didn't have the parole file. And now we do have the parole file. And now we all know that the reason he was. Paroled into this country was because lack of detention capacity, which, as you and I both know, is not a valid reason under the statute.

And now that we know that for sure, this is right out of the parole file. Here it is. Subject was paroled due to detention capacity at the Central Processing Center in El Paso, Texas.

Now, suddenly, you don't want to talk about it. This is extraordinary. It's also a pattern with you.

So, let me just try one more time. Have you read the parole file? Senator, I'm going to give the same answer, and let me say it.

Well, which one? Are you going to give me the answer you gave to Senator Britt? Are you going to give the answer you gave to Congressman Bishop or the answer you gave to Senator Paul? Or do you want to try a fourth one? Senator, I will not speak to the particulars of the case given the pending criminal prosecution.

Yeah, well, I'm sure.

Well, you certainly, of course, you don't want to because it is an absolutely damning indictment of your policies. Let's just review Jose Barrera and how Ibarra rather and how he came to be here. On September the 8th, 2022, he was encountered by United States Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, and was paroled into the United States due to lack of detention capacity. A provision, a proviso, a rule that is not permitted under the statute. You and I both know you know this.

You knew it when you were talking to Congressman Bishop. You knew it when you were testifying to Senator Britt, and you know it today. You've just never wanted to cop to it. Because the statute doesn't permit it. And so you lied to Congressman Bishop and you lied to Senator Britt.

And now you are hiding behind the ongoing prosecution excuse because it's the last one left to you. because you testified falsely under oath. You know, I kind of feel like um Kermit drinking tea right now. listening to this. I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm just, you know, sitting over here going, hmm.

Ooh. Except it's the tactic squatch, it's not actually tea. That was Senator Josh Hawley because the Mayorkas thing, golly, we got some stuff to cover because the Senate. Yeah, they kind of had a little bit little bitty bit of a meltdown yesterday. And that's, you know, they because this, this, this.

How do I put it? Impeachment. Yeah, they're they've rejected the impeachment articles. They've rejected it. They've dismissed it without trial.

That is the top. That's the top story. Today. Dismissed. without trial.

And I mean, we've got a lot of audio of some of these senators losing their. Mitch McConnell was unhappy, and he really doesn't express unhappiness quite often. This was audio sound by 12. Listen to this. The Senate will be in order.

Would senators please take their conversations to the cloak? Madam President, we've set a very unfortunate precedent here. This means that The Senate. can ignore in effect The House is impeachment. It doesn't make any difference whether our friends on the other side thought he should have been impeached or not.

He was. And by doing what we just Dead. We have in effect Ignored. The directions of the House. Which word I have?

A trial. They had n no evidence. No procedure. This is a day that's not a proud day in the history of the Senate. Yeah.

Well, you know, the good news is that they can just if the Republicans you know, capture the Senate. Which I'm don't have a lot of optimism about right now. Then, um Then what? Then they can just dismiss anything. They can dismiss it too, right?

That's how it goes, right? They can just dismiss it too. The Dems de Rules, guys.

So it's been. I love how the word scuttled has been thrown around. It's been scuttled. this impeachment, the impeachment articles. And that was officially Senator Cortez-Masto who did it.

He was facing these, America was facing these articles of impeachment. based on the fact that he just literally doesn't do his job? I mean, is that can I just say is that actually a point of contention with anybody. The dude doesn't do his job. Can you look at the border and say, Yeah, it looks like a good job there, Mayorkas?

Well done, sir. Here's a coupon. Why don't you hitch up a Fud Ruckers? That ain't even exists anymore, right? They still do.

No, they don't. No. I don't know. Isn't it like a s buffet burger? Yeah, yeah.

I hate buffets. I get real weird about it. That's a long story. First off, welcome to the show, though. Before we get further, Daniel Ash with you.

Top of this first hour. You can listen coast to coast. You can stream the radio program terrestrially. We're number one. In the afternoon, 12 to 3, number one.

Yeah.

And you can also check us out, the simulcast of the radio program. You can check out all my good hair days. And uh I wore brown today. That's my version of color. That's not black.

I did that for you.

So, you didn't think I owned the same black shirt? I own five of them, same shirt. I literally buy in bulk, bought it off Amazon. I'm not even gonna lie and act like I'm fancy. Anyway, this shirt came off Amazon too.

So Anyway, long story short, it's like $12. I'm not kidding you. Anyway, long story short. Welcome. You can also find us on X.

Rumble. Everywhere. Find us everywhere. And substack, chapter and verse, because there's a lot of good stuff that comes out there. And I know you're going to want to follow along.

So. That Clash.

So it's kind of done. I mean, you know, but they you cannot do your job though, and it's okay. I mean, we see Biden, we see the administration, it's not like it's a, you know, you don't have to do your job and it's all right. That's completely all right. In the house, now that this is.

Happening. Johnson's decided he's going to be moving to foreign aid. I mean, I was compiling the headlines for today and I was looking. I'm going to scroll down here.

Now he's facing another threat to oust him as speaker. because of this foreign aid that's this is all coming up Friday now. And This is not going to go well for him. If he pushes this And it's something that he shouldn't do. I liked his idea of taking everything and separating it.

But that still didn't satisfy. Look, there's no point. You're you're gonna get somebody even worse than Johnson if you switch him out. Hell, you might get Hakeem Jeffries if you switch him out. I think Republicans in the House need to stop this nonsense.

It's not going to happen for you. Y'all don't win enough seats to be doing this stuff.

Now, wait a minute. Before some of the voters go, that's right. You don't win enough seats. You all vote for 'em.

Some of y'all listening voted for some of these weak people that are in the House.

So I'm just saying, ain't nobody not culpable here. You got to win more seats. They can't be doing this because they're not winning enough seats. They're literally not winning enough seats to do this. This is silly that they're actually still considering switching this out.

I mean, there is literally nobody. If you thought they didn't have a plan B, Before Kevin McCarthy. buckle up because they sure as hell don't have a plan B this time. And it even seems like half-hearted because at least with McCarthy, there was personal animus there. There was Matt Gates, who was mad because of the ethics investigation.

So I that doesn't make sense to me. Then none of that makes sense. But now this $95 billion aid package, it's the triple package for both for all Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. There's four billion to replenish the Irondome defense system. I will say we do benefit from that tech because it is a lot of shared tech and we do benefit from that.

So there is a benefit. And also, it's our literal only ally in the Middle East. And I'm really sure that you don't want to see Iran get a toehold right Just take over our only ally there in the Middle East.

So there's with Ukraine, though, I can't tell you a single damn thing we get. At least, you know, at the bare minimum, at least we get some tech sharing and we are, you know, there's an ally there. I get the geopolitical importance of it. But as it pertains to Ukraine, I mean, I don't know what Kane, what do we get out of that? Wheat?

That's just Europe's weed, isn't it? Everyone's like, it's the breadbasket of the world. We grow our own. What do we get out of it, or what is our government? In the middle of the middle of the be the people.

Yeah, nothing. Just like that. That's like that, yeah. They're going to have to have Democrats pass this. There's no way this aid package passes with just Republican votes.

They're absolutely going to have to have Democrats to help pass it, and you know what that means. concessions. in order to get those Democrats to agree to pass this. There Johnson's going to have to grant some concessions. And that's going to further tick off Republicans, not just in the House, but also in the Senate, because they're mad in the Senate already.

And now. You have this that's been tabled. It's just all a giant mess. It's a giant mess. And I need Republicans.

are A little I also don't want them to overreact in the response to this.

Some people are saying that Marjorie Taylor Greene's doing that. She proposed some amendments yesterday. uh including and this one I actually don't you know I know some people are trying to jump on her for it. She was saying that uh any member of Congress who votes to send aid to Ukraine and this is from her her uh site For congressional site, must enlist. You have to be conscripted to go and fight for Ukraine if you're going to vote for it.

It's literally what it says. Any member of Congress who votes in favor of this act shall be required to conscript in the Ukrainian military. And eligible lawmakers can have their choice of service branch.

Now, some people are like, oh, I thought this was a joke. I thought this was, actually, I don't think so. I think it kind of showcases a very good point here.

So Johnson, you know, he's trying to separate this. I understand the opposition to support for consistently, constantly sending hundreds of billions of dollars over to Ukraine. The fourth thing that he was going to bring. Apparently they did add some border language to this. is this border language and border and sanctions Proposal.

That's the fourth thing because you have, as I said yesterday, the three bills, and then you have the fourth item that they're wanting to bring up. And I understand some people are saying this is just her bomb throwing. Yeah, you know what? And she's making a good point with us. I am simultaneously a somewhat partially reformed hellraiser.

And also, a total cynic who hates drama. And I don't like the political theater that. Con Inc. and Wannabe Con Inc. have been engaged in dragging the rest of us into.

But I think that this highlights a very good point. And that's ultimately what it is. I mean, you do believe in absurdum at absurdum. I mean, you're using absurdity to highlight absurdity. I mean, there's a point in this, and I think that's what her point is.

And maybe perhaps it goes over some of the more serious people's heads. I'm not quite sure. But you can't seriously sit here and tell me that another proposal for hundreds of billions of dollars, more billions of dollars to Ukraine is a serious proposal and expect that to be treated with the seriousness you think it deserves. It's absolutely absurd, and it should be ridiculed with a proposal like this. I have no objections to this.

None at all. None at all. So that's, and you know, honestly, she still has support of her district, so clearly, it's what her district wants her to do. Republicans are still split with regards to this, and all this is coming to a head tomorrow, y'all. Uh they're still split with regards to the state to Ukraine.

And Ukraine hasn't been transparent. on how any a single Dime has been spent. And honestly, I don't feel prevailed upon to send any more money over to Ukraine without them being honest and transparent about how this money is being spent. I feel zero obligation. It's not my fault that they're being opaque about this.

It's not my fault that there are accusations of spending it on pensions and everything else. How, pray tell, in the ever-loving hell, is it the fault of the American taxpayer who's already overtaxed, living in an era of Bidenflation, worried about affording the basic necessities, worried about paying their bills, keeping a roof over their head, worried about AI and everything else, the instability at the border, plus beyond? How is it their fault? That they're over-taxation and the money stolen from them and their concern for it. How is it their fault for demanding answers as to how those dollars are spent?

It's Ukraine's fault for not being transparent.

Well, this is breaking news. This literally just came out within the past hour. Dickie Betts, super influential singer, songwriter, guitarist for Allman Brothers, has passed away at the age of 80. It was literally just announced on his Instagram page. Dickie Betts official, they say, quote, it's with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Betts family announced the peaceful passing of Forrest Richard Dickie Betts at the age of 80 years old.

They said that he passed away earlier today at his home in Osprey, Florida, surrounded by family. And the family's asking for prayers and respect for their privacy. And they said more information will be forthcoming in the appropriate time. I don't need to even tell you about Dickie Betts and the Allman Brothers. Midnight Rider is one of my absolute favorite all-time top five songs that's ever been written.

I've seen the Allman Brothers live. Dickie Betts is amazing. Holy cow. I mean, he's just one of those dudes that you're just like, he's going to go on. You know what I mean?

Like him, Keith Richards, like these other cats, they're just like powered by some like secret nuclear energy and you don't know what it is. Man, Dickie Betts, age 80. Rest in peace, man. Good heavens. Also, good, I don't know how you go after that.

Henry Cavill or Cavill. Is it Cavill? I think it's Cavill. Yeah, his, it's an AI fake. A lot of people have been wanting him to be James Bond, but they have this other guy who I think is going to be a good James Bond as James Bond.

But Henry Cavill, they said, um, There was this fake Bond trailer that was online and it got almost like 3 million views. I think at this point, the last when they were writing about it, it was like two and a half.

Now it's like 3 million. And it was a fake trailer, a Bond 26 trailer, and they were using him as the new Bond. It's not him, but I think it kind of shows you a lot of people really wanted him as the James Bond, as the new character, him or Idris Elba. But here's the problem: producers were saying that Idris Elba and Henry Cavill were too old to commit for like a decade of making James Bond films because apparently they got seven more in the can. And they need, like, they need a younger guy who can commit and age with it.

So, apparently, that was the big thing, not that they didn't like either of those guys, but that was the big thing. That whiny, whingy ginger, Prince Harry, finally cut ties with Britain. Nobody cares. I think he ought to be deported. Exiled prince lists the United States as his primary residence.

And people are worried about his deportation over past drug use. I think he should be deported because he's a whiny welfare Nepo baby. I can't stand him and his wife who cannot dress herself and doesn't know how to use an iron or tailor off the rack stuff to actually fit her proportions. And who the hell wears heels on the pitch? Stop it.

I'm sorry. I'm done. American teens are getting arrested for smuggling illegal immigrants. Because it's good money. It's good money for them.

They're downplaying academic excellence in medical school so that they can satisfy DEI admissions. And this is also happening in law and other fields.

And on Sunday, the next day, my mother's four brothers all went down to the recruiting station and joined the military. Every one of them volunteered.

And my uncle, they called him Ambrose Brose, they called him Bosey. My uncle Bosey was a hell of an athlete. They'd tell me when he was a kid. And he became an Army Air Corps before the Air Force came along. He flew those single engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones.

And he got shot down in New Guinea. And they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals for real in that part of New Guinea. And then my son volunteered to go to Iraq for a year and he came back with stage four glioblastoma. And and they and they gave like many of you. risked your lives and you know people who gave their lives to the country.

for heroes. But one of the things that I, as I was doing that today, I was reminded. of what my opponent said in Paris. Not too long ago. They asked him to go visit American grave sites.

He said, no, he wouldn't do it. Because they were all suckers and losers. That's not what he said. You absolutely desiccated bean sack. Staff who was losing acknowledge it today.

Suckers are losers. That man deserves. You can't even talk. What the hell is this? Oh my gosh, stop.

Somebody give him another shot. Give him a hit off of Hunter's Coke Rock. That's Biden. Welcome back to the program. Bottom of this hour, Daniel Lash with you.

He's selling steel workers in Pennsylvania. You know, because he's ruining their economy. He's telling him this. I love, let me just share. This is who's this is the Telegraph's British publication.

This is their headline: Cannibals Ate My Uncle, claims Joe Biden. U.S. President's theory of Second Lieutenant Ambrose Finnegan's death contradicted by official war records because it's BS. It's been debunked already. This isn't the first time that he shared this.

If you comp he that's not that's literally not at all what happened. Oh my gosh. They said that The plane went down, but not near a A cannibal island. And They said that the aircraft knows it at the water, etc., etc., but he wasn't eaten by cannibals, and there's nothing ever to suggest that he ever was. I mean, the.

Good heavens, it's the There's leftist news sites that are debunking this. I mean What in the world? But he still shares it. And he says that in in this story, he keeps saying it anyway. That's that Trump wouldn't go and visit the graves of whatever and you know, and he that's also a lie that's also been debunked millions of times, but nobody apparently listens to it.

That story came from Jeffrey Goldberg. in the Atlantic and there was zero corroboration of it. It came out this headline, by the way, that Juan is showing. This side by side here. Y you all see this headline?

This is the funniest stuff. Are you kidding me? Carnibals ain't my uncle. It's a serious headline, Dana. They ate my uncle.

They opened up a pop up on the beach. Hm and they called it Shea Biton. They ate my uncle Finnegan. Ambrose Finnegan. What a name, by the way.

Don't make fun of a potential truth. It's not a potential truth. It's an always lie. Yeah.

Good heavens. They didn't say that. Or he never said that. Trump never said that either. He never said that about that.

It literally never happened. He just ran with it. That's also a Story that was debunked by, I think, what Snopes, Washington Post. I'm just like scrolling through my. They said it.

They knew it was a lie too when they said it, and they still did it. And they keep saying it over and over again. It's ridiculous. And it never ever happened. It's been debunked.

Trump never said that. And Uncle Bosey. They That never happened either. And he told this. I love how a friend of mine wrote, he told this story on his way from his Puerto Rican hometown of Scranton.

Scranton, Pennsylvania. You know, because Joe Biden also Apparently Joe Biden is more Puerto Rican than Juan. A hard time believing it.

Well, I mean, then why are you why do you hate a stutter? Kane? I mean, you know, you either believe that the man grew up in Scranton, Puerto Rico, or you don't. Not really. Is there a Scranton, Puerto Rico?

Because I don't think there is. I mean, who who knows? You're with this stutter. It could be anything. That's it.

And yeah, the suckers and losers thing was an entirely made-up lie that's never been corroborated. And yeah, can we Well, didn't we do this audio somebody too? No, he did it again. This is him. Yeah.

You did. Like three or four times? Not in the same. Thing. No, yeah, absolutely.

Different venues, different locations, same story.

Okay, go ahead and roll this. Ambrose Finnegan, when we called him Uncle Bosey, he was shot down. He was an Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn't make it.

He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in the New Guinea. The time. They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found parts of the plane and the like. And what I was thinking about when I was standing there was when. Trump refused to go up to the memorial for veterans in Paris.

And he said they're a bunch of suckers and losers. He never said that. Uh That that never happened again.

So this was another This was another Hold he he's on the uh tarmac. I was trying to think of the tarmac. Yeah.

That's So let me so again, I came from a just losers article in uh the Atlantic. And it's been repeated by even former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. And Or no, he was the one who corrected it. It was repeated by Obama Biden's former White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, went out and he was setting the record straight. And again, even Wapo and others have debunked this.

And he's like, that literally. None of this stuff has ever been said. I mean, everybody, even the people who hate him, who hate Trump. have denied that that was ever said. I can't believe we're talking about this again.

This is so stupid. I I I I I mean it was a it was a There's a lot of evidence that goes that that completely destroys Goldberg's Jeffrey Goldberg's claim. And what I remember when this happened. Because he was in, wasn't it like a GC? Wasn't this the same trip where he later met up with?

the European leaders, including Angela Merkel, and that's when they were arguing about how much Germany needs to be Giving towards uh their percentage of GDP for NATO requirements, and they had like, you know, he was sitting at the desk with his arms crossed. I think it was all from that visit because earlier when he was in France, he was uh expected to go north to go to a French cemetery, which apparently was his idea. And they had horrible weather in France. And I even remember stories about, like, flooding, etc. And he was livid because he wanted to go to a specific World War One cemetery.

And they said that they couldn't because the weather was so bad and the roads, because it was, you know, kind of from what I understand, the cemetery was more in a rural part of France. The roads were bad. He had to keep to a schedule. They needed to get him back because he was supposed to have caught a flight and then go after being in France. And he was going to Uh, lay a wreath at this cemetery, and they said, Uh, we can't get there.

He had suggested going bicopter. They're like, We definitely can't go there in this weather in helicopter, it's not gonna happen. There's like, and apparently, that was that was Secret Service telling him this. They're like, It's not gonna happen, it's too dangerous to go. It was super heavy rain, it lightning the whole nine yards, and they're like, It's entirely unsuitable for you to do this.

And he was livid that he couldn't go to that. There was never anything like suckers and losers and all of that stuff. And in fact, There was like a little known and I can't find it now because it's been memory hold. I had it. Saved in my bookmark system.

But there was a lefty who had said. Because a little bit about him arguing with the security about taking a chopper to the cemetery and like a you know a horrible thunderstorm. And he apparently was arguing with them, and someone on the left was making fun of him for arguing with his own security on that.

So, there's like a lot of stuff out there that completely debunks this. He never said the losers and whatever thing. He never said that. That is so stupid. Like why in the world?

Jeffrey Goldberg literally could not even produce anything, nothing. Nothing. The um I'm pulling this up. there and there were email receipts that were produced even show like detailing all of this. that we're describing this exact visit.

And we're saying that Trump had wanted to do this and he couldn't get there and he was livid and he apparently said some choice words to people who told him no. Even John Bolton, who hates him to death, was like, this didn't happen. It did not. And John Bolton wrote about it in his memoir. And they were mad, and he had even said that Trump was mad because of the weather.

Secret Service refused to they apparently they Trump said that he Uh He was mad about the rain, et cetera, et cetera. John Bolton, I don't know. The whole thing is so stupid. I can't even believe we're talking about this. This is so damn dark.

I remember this is like almost six years ago, five and a half years ago. And the media was making it out like Trump made the decision because of the rain. And then everybody's response was: you know, the left can't meme anyway. Bolton was still making fun of Trump and saying that, oh, he probably wouldn't have wanted to go to get his hair wet anyway, and all this other stuff. And that's mostly what it became: Trump just was scared of the rain.

But they literally were like, We can't fly a chopper and Secret Service told you no. I mean, if anybody loves a photo op, it's Donald Trump. Can you imagine a photo op of Donald Trump being in a World War I cemetery laying a wreath in the pouring rain? That's a photo op. That man lives for photo ops.

He loves his hair and he's vain as all hell. But that man loves one thing more than those two items that I just mentioned, and those are photo ops. He will go and do that. And So that's none of this stuff makes sense. None of it's true.

But to Biden's point, You know, my son Bo was eaten by cannibals. He's eaten by cannibals too. I'm surprised he didn't say that. I love how it's just so vague. Yeah, he crashed where there were a lot of cannibals, and the Pentagon records are like.

The the Pentagon said his plane wasn't shut down shut down. Because Biden said, yeah, his plane was shot down. His plane wasn't shut down. It that wouldn't even that didn't even happen. And his uncle wasn't a pilot.

His uncle was a passenger in the plane. Oh my gosh. And he said the government went back when I was down there and they checked and they found parts of the plane and all this stuff. It literally was not. I'm pretty sure that it.

It wasn't even shot down. Oh, no, I just said that it wasn't. Pentagon records show it wasn't shot down at all. It's unreal. Like, every part of the story is completely false.

Like, every part. My son Beau was shot down. and eaten by cannibals. Cannibals actually shot him down and then ate him. Really, yes.

Yes, barbaric cannibals shot down my son Beau. In World War One. How did your best understand about it? 'Cause he did. Don't make fun of my stutter.

I mean, we're at that level. Jeez, that's so stupid. Did you guys see the list of snacks real quick that you're not supposed to eat anymore? Thousands of everyday snacks are facing being banned in multiple states because their ingredients apparently cause to cancers. Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Lucky Charms, Gatorade.

A lot of these additives were already outlawed in Europe. Gatorade is. They have like they're different colors over in Europe. Like the yellow isn't a bright yellow because they don't put like this. I can't remember the dye, the dye color.

They can't, that's barred, they can't put it in there, so it's like a real weird, like. light yellow, weird color. I don't know. But apparently, different states are considering bans. California banned Skittles.

Well, they called it a Skittles ban. They have four additives that they do not allow. Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New York have similar measures. They've been passing these, 13 additives. New Jersey and Missouri.

They would they're cha they're they said the companies have to change their recipes.

It's the third largest city. It's in the center. It's a stutter. I mean, you know. You know, do you need to not move on?

Sorry, can you? But she's George, to steal terrorists, you can turn out with her your relationship with Shein King, your new relationship with him. Why? Yeah, so he's considering, well, he's announcing tariffs regarding. Chinese, you know, certain Chinese products, et cetera, et cetera.

And people have been asking too about, because Pennsylvania, I mean, higher tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum, that's what they're pushing for this election, tripling, by the way, the tariffs on Chinese steel products. And people are asking. you know, about They were asking him about this in Pennsylvania. He's been in Pennsylvania. He's doing this to try to keep Pennsylvania in play because it's such a bellwether that.

It really, I mean, it really, really is a. Uh like major indicator of how the rest of the states, some of these other states are going to go, the swing more swing states. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you, Top of the Second Hour. I saw this poll, it's a New York Times poll saying a college poll, women voters. And it was taken of 1,059 registered voters.

So you got a 3.3 margin of error. And it was taken from April 7th to to the eleventh. And It shows in this where it comes to women and it doesn't give any just as women in general. 53% support Joe Biden, 37%. Support.

Donald Trump. And I hear some people saying, oh my gosh, this is why we need to repeal the 19th Amendment. Don't be taking my right to vote away because.

Some Broad. Wants to vote for a desiccated old communist. That's like me saying, I'm going to take your guns away because a criminal misused one of them. Don't be doing that stuff. I don't even like it as a joke.

It aggravates me. I don't even like it as a joke. Especially when I hear from people who pay less in tax than I do.

So I get real I told you guys, I get real mad around this time of the year. Because of the IRS Government Theft Day.

So, people are like, well, how is this possible?

Well, because women have been told for generation after generation. That You're under attack. You're under attack. And Republicans, everything is just about abortion and all this other stuff. And I think that.

Feminism has done such a disservice to women. that you've got women out here believing this stuff. You got you they believe it. They believe this type of stuff. It's um I mean, it's been like this since before you had the fake.

tradcon, traditional conservative, quote unquote red pill dudes. that have been going out there and talking like progressive males. Which got us started to get us into this problem in the first place was progressivism, specifically progressive males. And then You had women react to that, and then progressive women decided to exploit it further and wage a full-on matriarchal. epic generational battle against all men.

But I mean, I mean, I keep hearing, I keep hearing, I see people say. Like this one check, the 19th Amendment needs to be abolished. Women are the worst voting bloc in America. You pay less tax than I do, B. Sit down.

That's like saying, again, I'm going to take your guns away because somebody else used their guns. In a bad way.

Somebody else used their guns. I'm actually unfollowing this person because it's so stupid. I don't even like it as a joke. It aggravates me. I think it's stupid.

Why does that make me so mad? I get so aggravated over this stuff. I see people out there every day saying dumber stuff than I do. What? Because you're still being taxed.

Like, if y the the whole concept of not allowing women to vote, but you're still paying taxes, that's kind of like. taxation without representation. Do I want to put that person on blast? Does that mean? I mean They're advocating for taxation without representation.

I literally get violently mad when it concerns my money. I mean, I can't. You know, I am an American, and that's an American DNA or something. I have American DNA. I mean, I want to throw more than tea in the harbor.

Aggressive American DNA. When I see people who say stuff like this, I'm like, it's a good thing that I can't reach through the screen. I like that Mike Tyson quote. Hang on, let me Google this. Hang on.

Everyone's got a plan. What? Everyone's got a plan. I'm telling you. Yeah, Mike Tyson.

And he's talking what what did he say? Oh, he goes Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it. That's what he said. By the way, why does that, why does that, that, is it Jake Paul, one of those dumb Paul brothers, why does he want to die? Yeah.

I think it's the money. Who wants to die for the money? Because he's fighting. Mike Tyson may be old. But have you seen his training videos?

Like he breathes And Okay. Bunch of stuff. That's what he does. Just saying. Yeah.

Social media made it y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people, not getting punched in the face for it. That's what he said. That's a great Mike Tyson quote, it's one of my favorites. I mean, I'm not lionizing the guy. I'm just saying.

I think it falls in line with that. Everyone's got a plan until they, you know. Yeah, everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face. That's right. Yeah, when I see these people, the 19th Amendment needs to be abolished.

Women are the worst voting bloc in America. I could buy and sell you for what I paid in tax. And you're going to sit here and demand that I not have representation because some progressive bitches are going for Biden over Trump. I will swing you around by your extensions until you are bald. Do not.

Why does that make me so mad? I could do a whole three hours on that. Yeah.

Stop it. Maybe I won't put that particular chick on blast, but I think we're going to be saying something about this because I'm so dumb. I'm done with this stuff. I'm done with it. Yeah, can I just for a minute?

B indulge me. The Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, it's in Dallas. When is it? In July? In July?

Yeah.

And it's in Dallas. I I don't I don't want to see that that blonde. What is he? Was he on TikTok? Oh, yeah, he was everywhere.

Vine. I don't follow him, but I think he's going to get beat to death. I mean, you gotta last the first, what, three, four rounds? And then after that, maybe you got a chance. Maybe you got a chance.

I don't think he'll die. 'Cause I think that's why the ref's in there. Kind of Slow that process down a little bit. He's gonna have shaken baby syndrome. I feel like he's gonna get and I think too, I'm actually paying attention to how the betting is going on this.

Are you? Yeah, because I think there's there's a lot of hype. And there could be some upset potential here. I've been enjoying boxing for a long time. And I watch MMA.

I get into some fighters, not everybody. I only like certain fights with certain fighters. Uh but I remember we went in with our friends and we were watching the Mike Tyson fight when he bit off Vander Holyfield's ear. I was in high school. And we're like, we got so mad because it was so expensive for high school kids to do that, by the way.

We all pulled our money together and we bought that pay-per-view and I'll be damned it was over in like a hot minute. I was so mad. Yeah.

I was so mad. But he trains they had videos online. Showing The difference between Jake Paul training and Mike Tyson training. It's like watching somebody prepare for the great British baking show. Cooking on an easy bake oven, or somebody in like a professional kitchen, it was like watching.

the difference between that. It was really stunning. I mean, you remember, didn't Floyd Mayweather? Was it Jake Paul that fought Floyd Mayweather? And Mayweather rocked him, and I swear he held him up.

He's holding him up. I'm just saying. This boy wants to die So, you know, sometimes you got to give the people what they want. I'm just saying. Just.

Oh my gosh. Anyway, uh whole point in that. was this this poll. Right, this survey Looking at Women going for Biden. more than Trump.

It's always, here's the issue. I think with some chicks it's always going to be the the problem of the apple. Even still today, it's the problem of the apple. It's exactly what it is. By the way, men out there, this is why you don't ask us what we want to eat.

My husband's like, what would you like to eat tonight? What are we going to eat tonight? And I'm like, I don't know. What do you want to eat?

Well, I'm asking you. You asked us once before. Look what happened.

Okay? We got kicked out of the Garden of Eden, and we figured out we were naked, and we had to go through a lot of stuff to get here.

So, don't ask us what we want to eat. But I think that's the problem. is this. You're just going to have some women out there that are just, they're going to be, they're going to be dumb and goofy like this.

So I I don't know. I mean I I I also kind of question the structure of the poll.

Now, that being said, I want to point out it's literally 1,059 registered voters. That's. I don't know where they came from. I would imagine that women in New York are vastly different, say, than women in Florida or women in Texas, right? Women in California probably especially like around the LA area are very different from women in Oklahoma.

So I think that's that's part of it as well. But I just can't believe that it's true. Here we are in 2024, and Democrats still got you voting by body part. Still. to this day.

Got you voting. By body part. And I I also kind of look at it like this. And this might be somewhat controversial to say, but I really don't care. Believe me, I understand the.

How do we do this? I understand the idea and the principle of saying, oh, I just didn't think I can vote for that man. Because he's you know, he's Nasty. I don't like I don't like he he says what he says, some of the words he says when he's giving his speeches. And you're done, look, I agree with you.

I could. I am of two minds on this. I entirely agree with you. I think. that a politician should be virtuous.

You should have a virtuous politician. You should have a politician. who is better than the people He represents, right, better than the people who elected him, a virtuous politician. free from Big, big offences. I complete, somebody who completely embodies your values.

I entirely understand that. But I also think That Come November. If you go, You cast your vote. And you're I am voting my principles. I just can't vote for this because his language is nasty.

Or, I don't like these principles that he compromised on. And believe me, I've got disagreements with the man. And then we end up losing in November. No one's going to give you a citizenship award. There's no award for most principled voter.

Because elections have changed. And also because voters are forgetting one very big thing. The politicians are a reflection of you. They're a reflection of everyone. This virus of escaping accountability has even been adopted by conservative voters.

People who say, Oh, we just I can't I don't know I just don't think I can ever vote Trump No one's asking you what your principles are right now. This is about Tools on the chessboard. It's not an endorsement of someone's lifestyle. To cast a vote a certain way in November. I'm not going to tell you how to vote, but I am going to make fun of some of the reasoning.

These people are tools on the chessboard. of political life. They're tools on the chessboard of advancing your agenda. Does it advance your agenda to be able to have someone who's going to be perhaps more compelled to cut taxes than someone who isn't? That's the big question.

If you answer it honestly. Then the decision becomes clear. But there are people out there who won't answer it honestly and I don't have time for that noise. But politicians are a reflection of the voter. They're they're a reflection of you, of me, of all of us.

And so I think that everyone, I know everyone wants to baby voters and act like we're goo-goo gaga, we're just little baby babies, and oh, don't blame the voter. But yeah, it's time to blame the voter. Send better people to DC. Send more Republicans than a plus one majority to the White House or to the House in Congress so we can better control the power of the purse. Send more virtuous Republicans.

to be elected, recruit more virtuous Republicans to be elected. There's no escaping responsibility in this. We either fully embrace our American DNA or we don't. We just Sit back. And we Export it to the political welfare class and let them do all the governing and decision making for us, which a lot of people on the right have done.

for many years. If you want better politicians, more virtuous politicians, You gotta step up your game. A reflection of you. Everyone needs to be more virtuous, to have more virtuous elected officials. We have more on the way.

Look, if you haven't switched to Patriot Mobile, if you're one of the people who are like, I'm not going to use Netflix because I don't want to support the Obamas, but you're using any other phone service but Patriot Mobile, you're doing more to support the Obamas than people who watch Netflix do. Like three times more over that, actually, because this is the only Christian conservative cell phone service that's out there. I seriously do not know why people don't switch. Hands to sky, I don't get it. I mean, if you are with any other service, you are legit putting money in the pocket of Planned Parenthood.

I'm not making this up. You can go to this thing called the internet and you can look it up on Open Secrets and it shows you the political action committees of all of these other cell phone services out there and what they fund. I really don't want to have a cell phone service that funds abortion on demand funded by taxpayers or gun control or that cuts me off at the knees, you know, with my own money. This is what you get with Patriot Mobile, though. You don't fund any of that stuff.

They're like-minded. But what's even also, I think, maybe even more important is that the service is just good. It's good service and it's more affordable.

So if you don't. Care about the politics, at least save yourself some money in this trash hellscape Biden economy and maybe switch to Patriot Mobile. They have plans to fit every single budget imaginable, and you can get free activation using code Dana. The only time it's not obnoxious to drop a name, and they have a 100% U.S.-based customer service team. It's easy to switch, dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.

You're getting the best service without funding the left.

So visit patriotmobile.com/slash Dana or call 972 Patriot and use promo code DANA to get free activation. PatriotMobile.com/slash Dana 972Patriot. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. It's interesting. Missouri just passed the Missouri House.

Anyway, state house just passed a bill to fund students. Over systems, 82 to 69, three Democrats voted for it. It already went through the Senate 19 to 10. It now goes to the governor's desk. It's a school choice bill.

It goes to the governor's desk to get signed. That's great news for our home state of Missouri. Great news indeed. Also, this sugar cravings, they say, according to a new study, could be caused by loneliness. That's the...

Really? I mean, I think... I had a sweet tooth way before I was mumbling. Yeah, yeah, that's probably true. Scotland's going to ditch a key climate change target.

Scottish government's going to ditch its flagship target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 75% by 2030. Ministers, they said, missed the last eight 12 annual targets. They said that it's unachievable to reach the 75% milestone.

So they're just like, ah, blanket. We're done. Uh let's see. Apparently, eating junk food in childhood could lead to long-term irreversible memory issues. Kane says it's not the vax, guys.

Is Strudel, a member of the furry fandom. Though they've been a furry for over a decade, they have their own opinions. It's crazy that it's escalated to the Point where these kids are being so distracting to their peers that their peers want to stage a walkout.

So, to have you know the next generation kind of muddy our name and not represent it very well, it is kind of disappointing. Strudel believes there should be some limits. Continue doing things you like, continue dressing up, continue making art, but maybe let's keep it outside of school hours. As for the school, Sorensen says they have one main goal: We want every student to feel safe when they come to school, and we want students to get along. In fact, we want adults to get along.

I can't even believe I'm having this conversation right now. First off, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you.

So, this has to do, is it Nebo? Nebo? How did they say it? I guess it's Nebo. The Nebo School District in Utah.

And Apparently, so there were middle schoolers that walked out. on Wednesday, because they said that the district was allowing student furries Two terrorize other students. And they said that the student furries were biting, scratching, and spraying human repellent at other students. Mm-hmm. I yeah, I don't even know what that is.

Axe body spray? When a student retaliates, apparently they're the one who gets suspended. Uh Uh so What This is Utah. They said students claim that the furries bite them, bark at them, pounce on them without repercussion. And so the students literally staged a walkout.

They were tired of it. Good on them. And They said that they're And this was kind of goofy. This response. From this is Seth Sorensen, the district, school district spokesperson.

Now listen to him. How he tries to say tries to characterize this. He's like, well, they're not like totally furries. He didn't say it just like that, but he says that the way that he puts it, the group of students being targeted, because it sounds like the students that are being bitten and scratched and all that are being targeted. He says that they come to school wearing headbands.

Sometimes they may have ears on them. He du and he's like, I just don't know if they actually think they're furries. He doesn't think that they think they're furries, etc. And that really does not at all sound like what the kids are saying. And considering the history that a lot of these school districts have.

uh with this stuff with students. I'm not I'm actually going to believe the students over this dude. 'Cause they're getting kicked and scratched and bit, apparently. And so there was literally, they had a petition that they created. Students for humans at school, not animals, aka furries.

The fact that it had to be created. And they said and then the w Sorensen said that He thinks because they had a message from the school that was sent to families last week. And it said because apparently the school intervened with the students, which made all these, made it all even worse. And they said that Uh apparently They are blaming the parents of the kids who walked out for misinterpreting the school's response, saying that we weren't taking, you know, the side, we want you to be kind. You know, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

They're the ones getting bit and scratched, you epic moron. And he said, Well, the parents took to social media instead of discussing the issue with the school district. It sounds like they were trying to discuss the issue with the school district, and the school district decided to not listen to you. That's what it sounded like. Parents were apparently pulling their their kids from the school.

And they go, we hope that rather than parents just reaching out on social media, that they'll actually reach out to the school and have conversations. It sounds like they did. By the way of this guy's own description, that the school was talking with families and then sent a message, and the parents did not like the response that they got. It sounds like they had to go to social media because the Nebo or Nebo school district wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing on behalf of these students. That's what it sounds like.

You know, sometimes bullying's not a bad thing. For being honest. Because A quick way if there if I was a in school And somebody was dressed as a furry? and they were biting and scratching me, I would beat your ass. That's exactly what would happen.

And I wouldn't get in trouble either. My mom would take me to the mall or six flags or something if I had been suspended. There's no way it's gonna happen. You will get hit. But I don't know, like Kane and I we always talk like I grew up in Jefferson County, Missouri.

Proudly.

So, you know. That's just kind of how we did things. Kane knows this. Kane is a North. You were a Northside.

Same thing, that's how they do things. North County. But yeah, look, if it creates balance, it isn't bullying. Right. That's Literally, the lesson here, kids.

Good night, everybody. Yeah, good night. Great show. Have a great night, guys. For real, though.

I'm just trying to figure out why in the world. That I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out how in the world the students are objecting. Are being portrayed by this school as the bad guys in this situation. That makes no sense to me.

I mean, it does when you consider the state of education lately, but, you know, I digress. I can't I just can't even I can't even imagine. It's just wild. But they said that, oh, the parents in the school district now, because the story's gone is going viral. They I mean they're They're they're now having to deal with all the fall out of this.

Biting, scratching, and spraying them with human repellent. I still don't know what human repellent is.

So they've been, they walked out and oh, oh, oh, wait, there's one more. There were reports of them using litter boxes as bathrooms. How do you Don't ask because No. Yeah.

And there's there were a lot of kids doing it. A lot of kids. One girl said, quote, These kids are mentally ill and they're trying to force their illness upon us. They want attention. And they've sprayed, some of the kids said that they had Febreze, they sprayed Febreze in their eyes.

And the school has a strict dress code. And yet they're allowed to wear this stuff. I think it's hysterical that they interviewed an adult furry who was like, those kids dressing as furries need to knock it off. That's when you know you've gone too far. When, like, the adult furry comes out and is like, knock it off, you brats.

That's when you know it's gone way too far. How do we re- Reach the furries. Hire them as a contributor. And our contributor, what what is the one-name person? What was it?

I remember the name of the person that they had, that that reporter interviewed. Golly, I can't. I can't deal. Wait, now, wait, there's more. Did you hear this story?

Now I'm looking at a picture of this dude. Neck check looks like a dude. Biological male very quietly joined women's NCAA Division Volleyball, Division I volleyball at San Jose University. This dude has been participating. as a volleyball uh on a women's volleyball team.

and hid his biological sex. I'm looking at him. You look like a dude. Looks like a dude. I d there's no way there's no.

And going by the name of Blair Fleming. He is playing women's Division I volleyball for San Jose University in the Mountain West Conference.

Now The mother of an imposing player was like, Look, I watched my daughter play against this dude. She didn't say this dude via Blair. And uh then in person. And everyone thought that this dude was a was a male. That player was a male.

And she said that he looked, he very clearly looked like a male. On the court, not just by the way he looked, but also his mannerisms. He jumped higher, he hit harder. Nobody could compete with his athleticism. He had very narrow hips.

He had a longer shirt in the front as well. You know I had a longer shirt on in the front. That lady's got some balls. True. Stick to the news.

He was also apparently during the match, the mother noticed that. the girls were suffering more injuries and strains than they had. and that when he would hit them with the ball they were rubbing their arms after blocking shots from this guy. And they said he was unstoppable. He's a dude.

And then they finally figured, they finally. You you can't tell me that the coach and the administrators at San Jose State did not know. And she said she watched these other female athletes, including some who were very good, take turns sitting on the sidelines while he was on the court the entire time. He played the whole game whole whole match he played. And you know, those who are out there playing, they got an increased chance for injury.

And she said she was saying that her daughter and her teammate's stats were not as good anywhere comparable to what they were in the other games because of that. And apparently he was also a jackwagon. He would stare down and glare at other girls on the court and was incredibly rude and arrogant. And that's according to number appearance.

So he is Literally, he's six foot one. His hands are larger, noticeably. He's got more muscles, noticeably. He's a dude. I mean, growing your hair out doesn't hide your wang.

It does not work that way. It doesn't hide the fact that you're a dude. And I think it's ignorant that this school did not tell everybody that this dude was playing on the team. Oh, he hid it. He didn't hid nothing.

He hid nothing. They knew He set the school record for most kills in a match and a single season record of 266 kills. Cheers. I mean, he very clearly was raised as a boy. He was apparently still, I mean, he's been a boy.

He's only recently apparently Ben a girl. Division One volleyball highest level. S n C A. And they get, you know, Fulrid scholarships, all this stuff. And nobody knows if he's gotten a scholarship, but now, I mean, this is just wild.

How do you sit here? Don't you think, Kane, that they knew this guy was a dude? He didn't hide it from San Jose. He didn't hide this from San Jose. There's no doubt about it.

They just didn't want to take the public backlash. That's the other thing. There's no transparency. There's zero transparency about any of this from any of these people. No transparency.

And how is this not the patriarchy in women's clothing and women's clothes? Oh, it is completely. And I'm just like, where are all of the you know, third wave feminists out there. That are that should be raising cane over this. No offense, Kane.

But for it was just craziness. I also wanted to pl uh where's this at? I also wanted to share for you as well. Do you guys, apparently, there's a new buzzword that's dropped. Yeah, a new micro a new microaggression buzzword.

Ambient gaslighting. Mm-hmm. Ambient gaslighting. USA Today. Quote Ambient gaslighting is just that.

It's around you. percolating in the air.

some examples of where you might sense its subtle presence, in targeted marketing. in political news. in the workspace. Ambient Gaslighting That's the noop. It's the new microaggression buzzword, guys.

So who's supposed to be offended by that again? Yeah, I don't know. I think Perpetrating the gaslighting, or the people victims of the gaslighting? They say in political news, it's quote: polarized politics have led to seemingly alternate realities that have only accelerated during the pandemic. convincing opinion like news programs or unverified social media posts may make you question your beliefs.

No, they don't. And this has been going on long before the pandemic. I feel like this person just realized that they're political and that history began the day they realized that. It's actually a story called Definition Explained, Ambient Gaslighting. This is 1984.

Yeah.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man.

So we had the drunk boat guy yesterday. There were three Florida men accused of pepper spraying employees after stealing Chanel purses from Chanel. Oh my gosh, this is crazy.

So, three Florida dudes found themselves behind bars. They decided in broad daylight to rob a Saks Fifth Avenue. And when they went into the Saks Fifth Avenue, they were going to steal a bunch of Chanel bags and then flee the store. 27-year-old, a 32-year-old, and a 34 31-year-old pepper sprayed employees who tried to stop them before they fled into BMW. They said that uh officials located the getaway car.

And uh they ended up involved in a pursuit. And they did get the suspects and arrest them on charges of armed robbery, aggravated battery, fleeing, and eluding. Why do you. You're not going to be first off. This ain't California.

Florida is not California. They will arrest you, they'll drag you out of the street. They will blank you up. Just to quote Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder. They will find you.

And they're still investigating, but it seems like it's an open and shut case. But to imagine doing that, going into a sax and doing that in broad daylight. Good night. Uh this Oh, you remember that mystery object that fell? What they were saying.

Uh probably fell from the space station. NASA determined that this debris I don't know what this is.

Something from their flight support equipment? Yeah, battery casing or something. Oh, yeah, it's like a battery casing. It's made of, I don't know what that it weighs 1.6 pounds, 4 inches in height and 1.6 inches in diameter. It's just a piece of space hardware.

that crashed through this guy's Florida home. And they think That It had to do with when the astronauts were releasing some aging nickel hydride batteries from the ISS using their robotic arm back in March of 21. And that they were replaced with new lithium-ion batteries as power upgrades on this orbital outpost. And they thought that the hardware was supposed to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere when it fell. March of this year.

But apparently, a piece of hardware survived, and that's when it fell on a house in Naples. That's the craziest thing ever. Oh, we're sorry it didn't burn up.

So Yeah. This Florida man, this is never okay to do. This Florida man, while he's being arrested by police, asks if it's okay if he cracks open this beer. And Port Orange. Oh yeah, there's a video.

We'll share it with you tomorrow. We have a third hour on the way though, next. Stick with us. Okay. Can we just see the cannibal tab in your book?

There's no cannibal tab. What are you talking about? Is that what you're asking me about? Can you finish it? Yeah.

Okay. Look, I'll just, and I think we shared this with some of you, so I'm just going to kind of repeat. Look, you saw the president. He was incredibly proud of his uncle's service in uniform. You saw him at the war memorial.

It was incredibly emotional and important to him. You saw him respond to all of you when asked about the moment yesterday. And his uncle, who lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crash in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea. The president highlighted his uncle's story as he made the case for honoring our sacred commitment to equip those we send to war and to take care of them and their families when they come home. And as he reiterated that the last thing American veterans are are suckers or losers.

And he wanted to make that clear. He wanted to make... I mean, look, I don't have any. Beyond about what I just laid out, but it was a really proud moment for him. It was incredibly emotional.

I think some of your colleagues, as you know, Zeke, were there and they got to witness the president pray at the War Memorial, look for his uncle's name, honor him. And I think we can't forget that moment. And we cannot also forget what it means to be a commander-in-chief, what it means to lift up our service members, what it means to make sure that we respect their service.

So this was just like. Minutes ago, right, that this came out. Within the hour. That's KJP. Uh just brand new audio.

Doubling, I can't, first off, I can't believe we're asking about cannibals.

Okay, at a press conference, but okay. But doubling down on this whole thing with regard to. Uncle Bosey.

Okay. All right. There you go. Welcome back to the show, guys. Dina Lash here, top of this third hour.

Coming up at the bottom of the, we're going to talk to Dexter Taylor's attorney on all the latest big 02A case. But I'm telling you something, it's crazy. this they I just I don't understand why they keep Just say, you know what, he got mixed up at the best. He got mixed up about Uncle Bosey because Uncle Bosey. And Lorraine has a piece on this forthcoming over at uh chapter and verse on Substack.

Uncle Bosey was a he was a passenger. He wasn't a pilot. The Pentagon has records on all of this. They disputes everything. And he wasn't shot down near where Cannibal Islands are.

I guess they're I I assume he's talking about Papua New Guinea, right? Because that's the only island I know where they are eating people. No, it's true. I mean, we're not talking about some of the the Japanese uh uh when they took some of the soldiers hostage or captive. But Yeah, it's All they had to do was say, you know, he's He got mixed up.

He didn't mean he was just confused. He just Misremembered. or something. but instead they are so devoted with maintaining it, I'm quite sure. I swear, I feel like I should place a bet.

How long do you give until this story morphs? And it becomes my son Bo was sh shot down by cannibals. How long? My son Bo was shot down. I gotta close your eyes because this is what Biden does lately.

My sonbow was shot down by camels. It's not hyperbole. I mean, he's been in tar pits. Cannibals probably. Uh he's been in he's that that poor that man has died.

He's died six ways to Sunday. Oh my gosh. True story. True story, yeah. But then he did that And then he goes into this another debunked story.

That was entirely made up by this Atlantic A guy who writes over at the Atlantic, the stooge over there, entirely made up. Even people who hate Trump. Are like, okay, stop it. You're making it h we have to defend him now. Stop it.

The people who hate Trump who worked with him, who later like Came out with books talking about how much they hate him. They were all even, they even had to come out and say, You're making it hard for us to get other people to hate him too because you're lying about him.

So stop. Don't make it difficult for us. That's how debunked all this nonsense is. But hey, look Is it a tactic? Here's the thing.

Democrats not All of them. They're not dumb. They're very manipulative. And they don't care. If they have to take a hit and look dumb.

if it accomplishes their goal. getting what they want, right?

So if you have Biden go out there. Everybody's talking about Biden talking about his uncle, who was not, in fact, eaten by. Cannibals. But now you have All of these. All of these stories and discussion about this instead of.

All of the others, like the policy stuff that he's doing, that's really, really detrimental, like his, for instance, and pull this up. His uh new plan, a new student loan. Uh share the share the debt plan. Right? He's got that.

That's all brand new. Brand new stuff. They want to make it to where you're still, you're going to have to pay for other people's debts.

So this is all all to hide, you know, the the bad economic numbers. All of this.

So I get it. I mean, he's there's a story that came out and pulled this up. Because he made, well, the second time he actually talked about this, it was in Pennsylvania, right? The first time he mentioned it, he was on his way to Pennsylvania, right? And then when he got in Pennsylvania talking to the steel workers, he made.

This uh made these remarks about the Getting shot down. Oh my gosh. But apparently he's really struggling with Pennsylvania. They said this piece Is Joe Biden losing Pennsylvania? He's got a three-day swing through the state.

And uh you guys know he grew up, as he said, in Scranton, Puerto Rico. Cheers. Is that north or south of Pennsylvania. I'm gonna say uh Scranton, Puerto Rico. North-South.

Yeah, north-south. That's right. It's uh Yeah, that's right.

Sounds r about right. He was speaking to folks About What is it? He goes, Scranton values or Mar-a-Lago values. That's what he was saying. Scranton Puerto Rico values, let's get that right.

And he Keeps talking, he keeps like making up that. This isn't gonna be the first. I mean, he's we got three days of this, guys. This is day one, okay? He's going through a three it's a three day swing through the state.

But that's because voters have been shifting. Pennsylvania has a growing Hispanic population, particularly in the smaller cities. And be even though typically in the past Hispanics have voted predominantly Democrat, that's changed in the past several elections. And it's not a short demo for Democrats anymore. Democrats haven't been making a lot of overtures towards that demographic other than trying to call them Latinx or Latin.

Oh, no joke. And So Pennsylvania is changing. Trump won Pennsylvania because of new Republicans. And that's important to remember because that can be a shifting sands type of. Uh win.

I mean, remember, elections are determined in the margins. You have your bases that are going to vote for how they vote, but elections are determined in the margins. And who's in the margins? You got independents, you got all of that, moderates. And so They've Pennsylvania's been shifting quite a bit.

Uh he let's see Trump Won, I mean, barely won Pennsylvania in 2016. He barely won Pennsylvania. He took it by Not even three quarter. Of the of a percentage point. It was so close.

It was so close. And then four years later, Biden beat him. only by barely over one percent. Barely over 1%. Barely.

And so I'm looking at a couple of polls here, and I sent some out to you if you get the radio prep. Let me pull this up. The November, because he's losing Pennsylvania. Politics is still center stage in Pennsylvania. There have been a couple of ratings changes in some of these other Senate seats, Senate races, and I think that you can use that as a good indication of maybe perhaps upticket as well.

In looking at some of the averages, RCP. is it depends on what polls they take in their averages.

Some of the polling some of the averages that RCP has, and I think RCP is a great resource, but some of the polls that they factor into their averages, I think, are not Not every poll is legitimate.

Some of them are push polls.

Some of them are literally nothing more than firms that are working on behalf of Democrat or Republican campaigns just to get something out there that they can point to and say, oh, here's a concrete number, and then run with that as a narrative.

So you got to kind of keep that in mind.

Now, that's not every I don't think that that's every average. And I was looking at some of the polling for the Pennsylvania one.

So this is last night I looked at, they had. uh six polls that they averaged. And I think With the exception of one.

Well, maybe two, but definitely one. They're pretty even balanced. They're not really, it's not really Republican or Democrat oversampled. And I think it's probably one of the more clearer averages. Of some of these states that are going to be really close coming into 2024.

And so the average has Biden ahead 0.1%. That's how close it is. That is how close it is. Very, very close. Very close.

And the uptick for Biden it it was weird because Biden and Trump, they both kind of dipped in the polling a little bit in the beginning of March. And then Biden it was Biden started On March 14th he he Came back up.

Now they're kind of on the low again. It all goes with the economy. It all goes with, I think that's why he announced this tariffs on China, all this stuff. Uh to try to To try to, that's all part of his three-day swing through Pennsylvania. Announcing that, going through, talking, electioneering.

I think he's got some events that he's having in Pennsylvania because they're worried about that state. They are worried about it.

Now here's the other problem. that I am very worried about. These poles are not going to matter if there is no ground game. And I have been warning you about this for how many months? How many months have I been talking about Trump's boots on the ground in these states?

Trump doesn't have a lot of field offices. This is a huge problem. I have been talking about this for months.

Now, finally, some other outlets are starting to go, oh, wait a minute. Uh this is kind of bad. Newsweek finally noted this. The battleground state campaigning Trump is so woefully behind Joe Biden, it's sad. Apparently I don't even know if he has uh Official field offices in every state.

Biden has 44 field offices in Wisconsin alone. Forty four. They have 14 field offices in Pennsylvania. The campaign, the Biden campaign, has 30 field offices in Michigan. This is huge.

How many does Trump have? He doesn't really have any in Wisconsin. They they couldn't establish Newsweek. And they're not the first publication to try this. Newsweek could not establish how many field offices they have in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and some other battleground states.

They're still waiting to hear back from the campaign. That right there. If he if they if his campaign doesn't fix that. November's done. That's not an exaggeration.

That's how this works. If they do not have organized ground game in these battleground states, you're going to get Biden again in November. That's not a promise, that's a guarantamptee. What is his campaign doing? And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Uh I just can't even believe this story. Weekend at Bernie's is real, dude. This woman in Brazil. It's on video. She's wheeling this dead dude all over a Brazilian mall, pushes him right into the bank, right through the bank, and she tries to withdraw money from what I assume is his account because she acts like he's talking to her.

And then she tries to help him sign his name. She's trying to take out a couple thousand dollars, Irka D'Souza. And she had this Roberto Braga guy, 68 years old. He's like totally dead, dead as a doornail in a wheelchair. And the bank branch became concerned because she was trying to get this dude.

To sign for this money, and they were like, This is not right. There's literally video of him, like of her trying to make him sign something. And then she acts like, Well, if you're not well, I can take you to the hospital. If you don't feel like she's talking to him, it is so wand's getting ready to show you. It's it's it's creepy.

Well, at least they blurted it out. They blurred out his face, but not anything else. And he, that dude's dead. The dude in the wheelchair, if you're watching the slime wallcast, is dead. And this woman in Brazil is literally trying to get him to take money out of his account.

She's like using it, we can a Bernie style. to rob him essentially.

So she was arrested. and taken to jail and Oh my gosh. I can't, this is so gross. They were trying to determine the moment of death, and they said that they could kind of tell something was not right here. Oh my gosh, I can't.

I can't even. The cops were like, in our entire careers, we've never seen a story like this. There you go. That really is all you need for headlines today. I don't know how else to talk that.

Well, this woman called the cops over a bad batch of meth. You know, sometimes it happens, guys.

Sometimes it happens. She, Indiana woman, she's facing a narcotics charge. She called 911 because she had purchased some meth. And it was bad. She had been defrauded.

And she told literally the police officer that it was not what it was supposed to be, and that it felt different when she it touched her skin and nostrils. What? We're going to talk about Dexter Taylor's case with his attorney coming up next. Stick with us. 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. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour. And you can listen coast to coast. You can also follow along if you're not listening terrestrially.

You can listen to the stream, check the podcast, and also watch us on X, Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, Channel 347, Direct TV. We are everywhere. We also have been talking about this major case. It's a major Second Amendment case involving Dexter Taylor, who I first spoke with back in February, thanks to Jeff Charles, who was raising the alarm about this particular case. And if you get the substack newsletter, chapter, and verse, you're filled in on it.

If you're just learning about it, this is an innocent man with no criminal record who is being sent to prison, probably looking at an 18-year sentence for his Second Amendment rights, which were not allowed to be mentioned apparently in court. According to Jeff, joining us now. Is Dexter Taylor's attorney, Vinu Varghese, who is a criminal defense attorney, also former prosecutor, and he's a legal commentator as well. He joins us via Skype. Vinu, thank you so much for joining us.

This is such a travesty, this case. First and foremost, how is Dex doing? He's doing well. I mean, the guy is just a warrior and he's been an inspiration to me. He's a unique sort of human being.

He's a unicorn, really. I visited him this morning in Rikers. And actually, just got back from Rikers, and he's doing well, and he was very happy. To that, I was coming onto your show and to always say hello to you and to your husband. and he was in really good spirits.

He knew, we knew, that this was very likely to happen. I mean, it's a a New York court. New York judge and New York prosecutors. And so we we're we're prepared for this. And this is going to be a long battle, and I can talk more about that.

Of course. And for those Dexter, he goes by Carbon Mike on social media. And he's just, and I say, I mentioned this to Jeff Charles, and I think I even told this to Dex as a joke. I'm like, he's, not as a pejorative, he's a nerd. I mean, he's like an engineering nerd.

I mean, he loves, he's one of those guys who loves to know and understand how things work. And he's done this, built firearms for his own personal hobbyist use, which is a completely legal activity. Has been since the beginning of this republic's founding. I mean, it's still, you know, part of our federal statute that it's, you don't, unless you're selling it, you don't have to get a license. You don't have to serialize it.

There was no evidence of his intent to distribute, intent to sell nothing. He just liked to build it and understand how it worked. And the state of New York raided his home, NYPD and ATF, raided his home, knocked down his door. They took him to jail once.

Now he's been convicted just the other day. How many, there was multiple felony charges with firearms, possession, and building, all the what, how many charges were there?

So the indictment initially was 37 separate charges. They reduced it. They reduced it to 15. For the final vote, and he was found guilty of those in court. And it came really as no surprise.

We were just wondering how long they would be out. And unfortunately, they were only out a few hours.

So, you know, we knew it, and we knew he was going to go in. And so we had prepared for that. He was prepared for that. Um you know, the judge, um, you know, tied my hands, tied his hands. Uh, repeatedly, you know, she was the toughest prosecutor in the room.

So, wow, you weren't allowed to mention the Second Amendment as I understand it. You couldn't even bring up any kind of Second Amendment rights, not cite anything on that precedent, nothing. She would say repeatedly, both. In front of the jury and outside the presence of the jury, when we had legal arguments, that the Second Amendment has no place here. In this courtroom.

And those were her words. You know, it is kind of like stunning because, you know, what New York is bound by the Second Amendment.

So, what you were saying earlier is that. Under New York law, Deck the current statutes and the way it is, Dexter did violate New York law. And he was aware of that. He didn't deny anything. And basically the prosecutor went, Dexter took the stand.

And look, the only hope we had at this level was a potential jury nullification. That was the so that concept is that the jury understands the law, but they choose not to convict. That was the only hope we had. Because Dexter is admitting to possessing and making these firearms in his home.

So. And in New York law, you're not allowed to do it. Which is new law, as I understand. We're talking, for those who are just joining, we're talking to Dexter Taylor's attorney, Vinu Varghese, who's there in New York. He just actually visited him.

He said in Rikers earlier, because a lot of these laws are new, and this is what, not being a lawyer, this is why I have you on. Because New York believes that, you know, an unmilled block of aluminum, you know, you can just go ahead and count that as a gun. They count parts that are perfectly legal to purchase as firearms by themselves. And this is something the ATF has been trying to do as an in-run around Congress. But From my understanding, when I read this case and when I was looking at the charges and the arguments that the state was making.

He's been doing a perfectly legal activity. New York decides to arbitrarily, without any evidence at all whatsoever, in terms of this being a crime driver, decides to change the law. Of course, there's a lot of litigation about that, which is a whole other issue. But it's in conflict with what federal law is. But then it seems like they're going after him ex post facto to try to make him a felon when he's a perfectly innocent guy who's been involved in a perfectly innocent hobby.

So these gun laws actually have been around for. For years and years, these prohibitions on on you know unlicensed firearms There are additional to state regulations, there were city code violations.

So, New York City, so for example, having a pistol, as long as you had a license for it. Basically in New York, New York City, it's still very difficult. What what happened, the change, was that they had to change their licensing. Um uh regime two years ago because of Bruin. But what they came up with is really vague and basically the same thing.

They've created this. Before they had to show to get a firearm in New York State, you had to show a compelling reason to have one.

Now they've changed it to this amorphous, completely constitutionally vague concept of good moral character. We had the guy on who was the custodian of records, who was a police officer. From the New York City Licensing Bureau. And basically, he basically said, It's just arbitrary, you know, because I asked him to define good moral character. He put in, he basically said, well, It's you know if somebody has no criminal record, yeah, but that's in the initial application.

Right, so if a guy has a criminal record, he's not getting it in New York. In New York, in New York City. And then he was like, well, no mental health.

Okay, but that's in the, that's a separate part.

So, what's good moral character? Couldn't answer it. He couldn't tell me how many people had applied for licenses and gotten accepted and been rejected. And he basically admitted that sometimes he just rejects people. And so it was a funny.

Um funny but sad. Yeah.

realization of what you're dealing with in New York City. on top of what you have to deal with in New York State. It's a, this, this sounds like such an absolute mess to try to unravel. We're talking with Vanu Varghese, who is Dexter Taylor's attorney. And you brought up the licensing as well.

And from what I read, this was something that was brought up, obviously, in the arguments in court because New York, you know, the city says, well, you have to have a license, but they're not actually in the habit of giving them out. And from what I understand, there are a lot of, as you were just talking about, a lot of rejections, a lot of refusals on this.

So they sort of, I mean, it sounds like to me that they try to set you up. Yeah, so what New York State judges, when Bruin came out, New York. You know, certain lost its mind. Let's just say, let's say it that way. I'm not sure what I understand your show.

So I won't go there. Certain things I can't say in court, so I'll read it to what I'm able to say online.

So it's certainly lost its head. And so what they do I mean, there was the rhetoric from Governor Hockel and Mayor Adams. I mean, it was just obnoxious. They basically said it's just so wrong and it's going to create anarchy. And so what they did was come up with this new Criteria called good moral character, you know, which is a complete joke.

But put that aside for a second, what we discovered.

Well, let me take a step back. Judges in reaction, so they get a playbook. Right, so judges across the state are given a playbook on how to reject Second Amendment challenges.

So they filed this playbook, and what they did was. in every single criminal defendant that alleged a Bruin violation. They said he had no standing. Meaning, he didn't have a right to challenge the law because he never applied for a license.

So to get around that, what we did is we subpoenaed, well, basically we got a FOIL request on the New York government, on the New York City Police Department. It took like eight or nine months to get these records. And it showed that in the two years that they were investigating Dexter, he had only, they only gave 19%. uh i would say it gave uh it had a 19 Of applications were accepted in 2021 and only 4% in 2022 post-Brewing.

So uh we don't have the numbers for 23 and 24 because you have to You have to, they're not readily available. You have to have a license to even present a defense on what you're getting licensed.

Well, you have to have applied for a license. That's the craziest thing I have ever heard for this. I mean, that's kind of well, you know, we're not going to take you seriously because you never applied for the license. That I mean, oh, that's just wild to me. That and the fact that you couldn't even cite 2A, that's it's I mean, if you There's a whole discussion to be had on if it's even a right at that point.

We're talking to Vanu Varge, who is representing Dexter Taylor in this case that we've been talking about. Uh uh this is obviously you're going to appeal this. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.

So we have to, the next phase is sentencing. He's going to get sentenced in less than four weeks. If you give me a second, my son's a little too loud back there. Anyway, we can't hear him. He's fine.

He's fine. Don't worry. He didn't come in like that one guy whose two babies came in the room. You're good. Yeah.

So you know, I'm not at home. I don't believe I'm not at home, usually in my office. You are totally fine.

So you have to get the appeal forthcoming. You said less than four weeks, he's going to be sentenced, which is crazy. And he's looking at 18 years. Yes, yes, he's gonna, and this judge is gonna give him maybe not that total amount, but she's gonna send a message. Because basically the argument is that that Dexter thinks he was above the law, the law of the supreme law of New York State.

And so In the trial, look, it came out. And at different points. The prosecutor asked him why he didn't have a license and he said he had one. you know it was licensed given to him the day he was born it was his natural right And so we were ready for that, unfortunately, with a New York jury, they didn't really care. Um and it's it's unfortunate the people that expressed any sort of um affinity to firearms was, you know, they were struck.

Uh and so You know, and there were a couple of people who said that they didn't think what he did was wrong. They were struck.

So we we were pretty much everyone else had Um even those who said they didn't even feel strongly about them. Um Okay. There were only a few of those. Most people had strong views. It's sort of like the Trump trial.

It actually took us longer. To get five jurors in our case than it did in Trump's case, because I was able to then question and then show that they weren't ever going to give Dexter a shot, but still, with what we were left with, was unfortunately slim picking. This is just one of the crazy. Case, this has to be so frustrating to you. And I know.

That this is a long fight ahead. We're talking with Vanu Varghese, who's representing Dexter Taylor. Are other gun rights groups, are they offering to help? Because this is a huge, this could be a landmark case because you're looking at some of the conflict between what New York City and New York State want and what the federal government says is allowable. I mean, there is conflict there.

So I can imagine that there would be an interest for gun rights groups to get involved in this because of the potential precedent that this could set.

So the only there is one group that's been that has shown their support, expressed and said they would help that's the National Association of Gun Rights. Um, if I'm saying the correct it, but you know, we've we've reached out to different people, but you know, the NRA has been silent. Uh, no response from You're right.

So we we have the National Association of Chris Coffer has been supportive. We were on his podcast. At one point.

So this word has to get out. I mean, what makes this case unique? Why I believe.

So let me just say, he has to go through state court process.

So unfortunately, he's going to be sitting in jail. probably at least two years before we can get to federal court.

So at least maybe longer with delays and things along those lines and court congestion. Yeah, no bail? He can't bond out? No, they're not going to give him bail. Judge, no judge in New York State is going to give him a bail.

They just let a woman go for smothering her baby with her couch cushions because she was high on meth. And she gets to walk, but Dexter Taylor's gotta stay in prison. Yeah, I don't see a single appellate judge granting him bail. But I want to have you back because we're getting ready to go into a break. I want to have you back, Venu.

But really quickly, Uh what does Dexter need right now? What do you need for this case? He needs support. I mean, the process is long, it's lengthy, it's expensive.

So, you know, if people just were talking about Dexter. You know, you know, and support for the financial support. There's Give Syndo. I also had people ask me: can they send him money in prison? Yeah, I mean, they can look him up on the New York City Department of Corrections website.

I had a lot of gifts. The gifts and go is much more important.

Okay. Yeah, the gifts and go is much more important. Danny has to send him, his family can take care of his commissary and his toiletries and things like that.

Okay. It won't be a large amount of money, but really the legal fund is incredibly important because this is going to be costly. Vanu, I would definitely love to have you back. We're so grateful that you're taking on this case and you're leading this fight because this is going to affect everyone. And guns are just a variable.

This is the legal formula that could be applied to a number of different rights.

So we're very grateful for you for taking part and taking this case on. And we'd love to have you back. Vanu Vargees, thank you so much. A pleasure. Thank you.

Of course, of course, absolutely. And folks, we're going to continue following this case as well. And we'll make sure that you have not only the give symbol. He says that's more, it is more important, but also. For his commissary, get that as well.

Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. We just Kane just reminded me, we should have played I Eat Cannibals by Total Cello. Total Quello. Quelo or CLO, whatever. But that song, that's an old song.

Man, we should have played that. I literally have that on a playlist somewhere. All right, before I rob you of time, sorry, real quick, today's stupidity. It is our President of these United States. What?

He said something stupid. Juan, go ahead. Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy? Because that's America. Freedom over democracy.

What? And that's America? As you said, doesn't one? Right, one begets the other. And why do they have to be exclusive?

Like, mutually exclusive? Yeah, I don't know. It's weird. I don't know. All right, folks.
