Wednesday April 24 - Full Show

To keep them in the fight. This weekend, But reports, I find this amazing. There were reports of cheers breaking out of the trenches. in eastern Ukraine, probably came from one of your folks, a reporter or someone, I'm not sure where it came from, but that they're cheering as they watch the House vote in support for Ukraine. It's not like they don't understand what we've done.

Not like they don't understand how critical this is for them. I Well, Hi.

So welcome to the radio program. No simulcast, that was President Joe Biden Kane. Who? was talking about all the monies Our monies that he gave. to the Ukraine.

And um You know, we're going to be paying pensions, we're going to be paying all kinds of good stuff over there. Right. That's what we're going to be paying. And that went through the Senate last night. And that's some of the latest.

I mean, I don't have anything great. I wish I had something good to share with you about that, but I got to be honest about it. I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up y'all's backsides because That just wouldn't be proper. And I said something on Twitter last night. upon the passage of this.

Or X now, sorry. Uh I said something on X about this because It's to a level that's insane. this I I feel like the way that Uh the GOP has been handling this. I don't know if you saw Thomas Massey's post about this. Yesterday apparently They're trying to find him.

Because he posted the video, the video of all of the lawmakers that were waving Ukrainian flags. That was Thomas Massey's video, and he posted it. On X. And Mike Johnson got really mad about it, and now apparently he's going to be fined. $500 if he doesn't delete the post.

And I retweeted it yesterday and I said, I'm just about at the point where I don't care who wins the house in November. Let everything go to hell.

So, welcome. To the radio program. Dana Lash with you at the top of this first hour. And you can listen coast to coast, and you can watch, again, the simulcast that is on. everywhere, I think.

It's on X, it's on We're Everywhere.

So you can make sure that you check all of that out. I had someone who were who it's literally a drive-by that's never listened to my program. And they're like, oh, Dana's in a good municip. You know, just all she does every day is just rage at all. I'm like, you liter, tell me that you've never listened to me without telling me you've never listened to me.

I'm like, oh wait, don't respond because it's going to be a lie. Just, you know, GTFO. I'm done. But there are some things that it's worth getting upset about because if you're not gonna get upset about it and get mad about it, what's the point? I mean, for instance, Republicans doing this.

Like, what is the point? I can't tell you, oh my gosh, I wish I could just tell you my tax burden. It makes me so angry. I'll just tell you. I paid six figures in taxes.

I've paid I paid $6. Figures. in taxes this year. I paid l I paid less in tax than Joe Biden. I pay less in tax, or I sorry, more in tax.

I pay more in tax than Joe Biden, and I pay more in tax than Hunter Biden. I probably pay more in tax than Barack Obama and the Clintons, etc. And It's it makes me sick. And it makes me enraged because That's m that's capital that I would use to expand. What We're doing what we do here.

I would hire, I would do there's all kinds of stuff. Benefit, I mean, there's all kinds of stuff I would do, but I can't because I got to give it to the government so we can give it to Vladimir Zelensky over there and they can pay the pensions in Ukraine. It's more important to pay the pensions and benefits of Ukrainians than it is to be able to keep some of what you pay in. Yes, I get enraged. I have every right to be because we went to war during the War of Independence for less than this.

And I am overtaxed and underrepresented. And I have my money forcibly taken under threat of penalty and wasted on all manner of everything that has nothing to do with putting. the priorities of this country first. And so when I see stuff like this, pass in DC and I see these I see these lawmakers wave their stupid little flags. The rage that I feel bubbles up out of my throat.

It is absolutely justified, and it should be justified for you, too. I'm not kidding you. I mean, it's. You know, everyone thinks that, oh, you're on radio, you must be loaded. No, you it, no, not after my tax burden.

That's what I got to pay the government. I mean, that's the government's loaded. They take pretty much w everything I get. It's crazy. And We do everything possible, but we got to be careful because the IRS is super zealous.

They ask questions about everything that's done. Audits, all of that other stuff. And it's they make it to where you have to constantly look over your shoulder, like perpetually. That's the way that life is. That's you know, my life under this administration and I'm sure a lot of other people too, because of their political where they lean politically.

And it's and it's just it's it's incredibly unfortunate, but that's the reality of the situation.

So, yeah, people get people like me, and I mean, really, you, you have every right to be livid about what you're seeing and the stuff that you see. In DC, and then passing this. And they say, well, it's not a blank check. If it's not a blank check, then why the hell can you not account for billions of it? Why is it that the IG had to issue a report saying, okay, we actually would like to know a little bit more where all of this money is going?

I mean, I feel like that's, you know. It's um It's it's Enraging. And then the administration wants to prioritize climate change for some reason. That's what they want more of your money for climate change. They want more of your money for everything other than you being able to keep it.

So, yeah, Biden talking about, he talked a little bit earlier. About this. Uh the Um This foreign aid bill. And I'm telling you, it's frustrating. And I want you to realize too, I was talking about this with Jesse Waters last night.

When Biden talks about his student loan forgiveness thing, right? There's protesters that you see screaming about how much they love Hamas? Which is true. I'm not making that up. They've they've yelled it.

They yell about how they love Hamas and they yell about how they want Israel destroyed and all this other stuff. These protesters. That you see at these college campuses, you're paying for their tuition. That's part of what your tax dollars are going for.

So you're literally, you're actually paying for that. You're paying for them to be there and do that. It's pretty amazing. Pretty Amazing. And so That's um Yeah, people just feel like they want to ask where the American dream is.

And you have every right. I mean, at this point, what are we getting out of the house? I'm gonna I'll lighten it up later on in the show, but I gotta tell you, I it's it is a chore every single day to try to find a shiny object in the mess that is the Republican Party, like all over. We have a candidate who's going to be in trial. And yes, it's part witch hunt and part who created his own situation.

This is why you don't. FO on your wife. Is he better than Biden? Yes, he's better than Biden. But I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke up your ass and act like part of the problem isn't self-created.

Is it a witch hunt? Yes. You also don't have a side piece. Is it illegal to pay your side piece to shut up? No.

But when you are the Republican nominee and you are running for office. You got to understand that Democrats are going to weaponize it just as we would weaponize it with the left. I mean, come on. I mean, we got we don't have field offices in a number of battleground states from the campaign. We got a broke RNC, a broke GOP.

I don't know what's going to happen down ticket. And for the first time ever, I'm going into an election where I actually can't tell you What the lay of the land is going to be, and none of these surveyors can also. All of them, crystal ball, all of them, the Sabato crystal ball, all of that stuff. It's all full of absolute excrement. It's all stupid.

It's all dumb. And then we've got all the sin fighting on the right. Because you have a bunch of people who aren't actually conservatives, but they're merching it out. And you have a combination of. Uh uh newly created Conservative socialists, DEI hires, and everything else, because the Conservative Party gets into DEI hires just as much as Democrats.

I mean, all you have to do is look at some of the speakership circuit. It's the same as the same offense. And they're infighting with each other and everybody's shocked about this. Like, seriously?

So it's a flaming pile of excrement, and this is why I stay in Dallas. I'm going to tell you as it is because I'm not a lot of people out there are going to try to get you all hyped up because they want the clicks, they want you to listen, they want to sell you for ads. I don't know. Maybe I should be like-minded as well. Maybe I should just ring it out for the same.

Look at you, Kane, looking at me. I'm gonna have a sip of my coffee here. I feel like Kermit the Frog. Yeah. I tell you.

I can't, I'll give you some insight. I got like our executives and stuff. They're like, Dane, oh my gosh. 'Cause it is a little bit like Game of Thrones, right? I've talked radio and conservative commentary and all of that stuff has changed.

Where it's like, Oh, you gotta play the game, you gotta d you gotta you gotta talk like everybody else talks. And I don't do that. I just, I've never cared to do that. And some, and it's at my own detriment. I've never cared to do that.

And it's I could tell you one day I'm going to write a book, and you guys are going to be like, oh my gosh. I've just never cared to do it. And that's why I'm the black sheep of the I'm the black sheep of conservatism. It really, it is actually true.

Okay, it's like, yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Because the Republican Party does not like me. Big Con Inc., they're the new conservatives that want to be the establishment. They know that I call them out on their BS, so they don't really want to have anything to do with me.

And I'm just totally fine just hanging out here with all you all. They can't sit with us.

Okay. We're the Veronicas of the Heathers. They can't sit with us.

I'm done with it.

So, I just wanted to give you a little bit of the lay of the land there because I want to give you some insight into my perspective and tone so you can kind of gauge where I'm at. I'm not in a bad mood. I'm just like, this is what it is, y'all. This is the nature of stuff, right? It's the nature of things.

So, I mean, I just am tired of it all. Tired of it all. I'm tired of the whole everything. It's actually one of the reasons why I cut all my hair off, by the way, too. I got tired of the over, I never had extensions, but I got tired of all of that stuff, right?

Yeah, be fox up. I may come in with half a mohawk. I'm not kidding. Seriously, it's one of the reasons why. I'm just tired of it all.

I feel like you gotta be real with people.

So If you wanna if you want like real insight, And you don't want people to blow smoke up your backside. And you just want like genuine fellowship, then you found the right place. That if you want all the plasticine and if you want, if you want the, I don't know, the foxified, the extensions, your face doesn't move, you've got like a bunch of stuff shoved up in your cheeks, you know, you go elsewhere and find it. I'm sure you'll be happy. I'm just saying, I'm going to have another sip of my coffee.

It's radio, so I can do that. And TV, I can do it all. Mm-hmm. It's the tactic squatch, by the way. case you were wondering.

Tactus I think the tactic squad makes me a little aggressive, if I'm being honest. The blend I think I need to talk to the black rifle guys about that and be like, mm. I feel like this coffee makes me mean when I have it in the morning. All right, so that's the latest. I wanted to give you some perspective going through the rest of the show so you kind of have an idea of what's like, why does she think like this?

That's why.

Now, we're gonna. Did you see? We're gonna talk about this coming up, and I'm gonna play this audio for you later. Did you see what happened outside of Chuck Schumer's house last night?

So the college trust fund trash babies? Oh wow. Band name That's a band name. College Trust Fund Trash Babies. And it's a bunch of really, it's a bunch of slackers that have horrible taste in music and they only can play power chords.

And literally, Wonder Wall is their favorite song. Uh They protested outside of Chuck Schumer's house last night. And he rained down the po-po on them so hard. He called the police. They were there outside his house getting those people out.

Interesting how that happens, right? Glove about that. That was quick. I mean, that happened so fast, they didn't even know what was going on. They were like, wait a minute, what?

What's happening here?

Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Well, looky at this. The FTC's banned non-compete agreements that restrict job switching. The move sets up a high-stakes legal clash with business groups over the agency's power. They banned employers from using non-compete contracts that prevent people literally. A lot of times these non-competes, they prevent people from like working somewhere else for a whole year.

It's what, so you're like unemployed or you got to work a part-time job that's not even in your field of expertise for a whole year before you can go and get a job elsewhere. It's wild.

So they're looking at banning those. It's kind of interesting. I sit on the fence about it. I don't like the government telling businesses what to do, but I also don't like businesses taking advantage of people either. And I've seen that happen before, especially in media.

Tennessee's passed a bill to let teachers carry guns a year after a mass casualty incident. Teachers who want to and who undergo the training are going to be free to exercise their Second Amendment rights and protect themselves and their students. And I think that this is a good idea. Nobody wants someone who doesn't want to carry a gun to carry a gun. But I got to tell you, I know a lot of teachers who carry anyway, and they're like, we would love to be able to defend ourselves.

Like, I know teachers who are like, we got more training than the security guards at our school. We would love to be able to carry and let them do it.

So, good on Tennessee for being able to do that. Apparently, now people think that 75 is the new 65, and nobody knows when old age begins. And there's a new quarter life crisis. We're going to talk about that coming up. Stick with us, more in store.

You know, if I have my way in the next four years, I'm going to make community college free.

And it will grow the economy. Why is he yelling? He's going to make it free, everybody. Free with the asterisk, meaning it's not actually going to be free. It's just, we're all going to pay for it.

All right, so. I gotta be cranky pants a little bit here. Welcome back to the. program. Let me drink some more of my I gotta have more liquid rage here.

Hold up. Mm-hmm. Used to you're not supposed to drink coffee on radio, but I don't care anymore. Come and get me. Dana Lash with you.

Bottom of this first hour. I talked about I'm still mad about this since last night. And this has to do with this loan forgiveness thing. I'm getting up to it. Give me a moment.

I'm because you're going to get mad. You're going to share my mood here in a moment.

So hold up.

So, you know, you got Biden who's got this, you know, he's got a student loan, whatever. It's the forgiveness. I love how they say that forgiveness. Right? Forgiveness.

First off, let me set the stage. The third greatest movie of all time, besides The Godfather. On Lord of the Rings. It's PCU with Jeremy Pithim. And I tweeted out a link where you can actually go and watch it online because for some reason they're not.

selling it or allowing you to Rent it or buy it anymore because it's too honest. Jeremy Piven's an NPCU. is a prophecy. Much like Idiocracy, but better written and better acted. And it's amazing.

It's one of the best movies that's ever been burned, a celluloid. And it's an older movie. It's back before cell phones and TikTok and BS and influencers trying to sell you, you know, mass-produced Chinese-made stuff. And It stars Jeremy Piven. Who's one of those dudes who goes to college and he just sort of stays there for like a decade?

For some reason. And he's a part of this frat and they have this their h their dorm is called the pit. And they're the slackers and the stoners and the metalheads and all that stuff. And it gets in all the The whole student body is broken up into groups. Like you've got the lesbians, you've got the feminists, you have the black student group, you've got the hippie group that only play hacky sack and wear like crocheted hats.

And you've got like, you know, all these people. You've got the debutantes, you've got the preppy nerds, right? Those dudes who wear their ties too tight and their loafers are just a little too not broken in. I mean, it's just, you got every group and they all hate each other and it makes fun of. All of the division and political correctness.

And at one point, like they're getting ready to throw like this major party so that they can keep their house. And they just happen to get, and he follows me on Twitter, and I will never understand this, but you know, I'm very stoked about it. They happen to get. By chance. George Clinton and PFONT to come and play.

Their big party at the pit, right? Because they're saving. their whole frat house. from uh they got to pay this fine to the university.

So they're selling stuff like you got to pay $5 to go to the bathroom, all this stuff there. They're going to raise the money however they can. And one of the other things that they're doing is that they sell. in determ papers, right?

So, Jeremy Piven is in one of these little side rooms of the pit, and he's like, All right, what's your major?

Okay, here's a paper for you, here's a paper for you. And you've got this dude who comes up. And Piven goes, Well, what's your major? And he goes, Sanskrit And Piven stops for a minute. And he looks at him and he's like, You're majoring in a two thousand year old dead language?

And he goes and he goes, Latin, best I can do. And he hands it to him and then that was it. And it got me to thinking. That guy's a moron and he should be publicly flawed. You know how...

At some Maybe this is just happened with me and the Ozarks. There's one of the fun things that we used to do whenever there was any kind of like town party, town festival, town whatever, is you'd pay like $2 or however many, and you'd raise money for the fire department, you'd take a sledgehammer, and you'd get to whack a car. Like it was an old junker and you got to beat the tar out of this car, right? Maybe you could do the same thing with that dude, not a sledgehammer, but you could slap him for $2 because he decided to spend his money to major in Sanskrit.

Now, that was his money. If you're going to waste your money, that's fine. When you waste my money, I feel like I shouldn't even have to pay to slap you. I should just get that slap for free. You know what I'm saying?

So, this brings me to my point of this guy named Joel Lambden. This guy's like older than I am. And we're all paying his student loans. I am paying the student loan of a guy who's older than me.

So, this guy. He's um He forty nine years old. And he got a quarter of a million dollars. in student loan forgiveness. forgiveness in January.

Now see he had taken out a loan. And he let it accrue interest because he didn't pay it off, and so he just let it get more and more expensive. He finished grad school. He went and studied music. I think if you're 49 years old and you're still trying to make it in music, you are a pathetic meat sack and you need to man up and like get serious about living your life because it's not going to happen for you.

You know, like the dad who tries to live out his football dreams with his subpar playing JV string, you know, second string kid on the high school football team. You know, you gotta like realize it's not gonna happen for you.

So he allowed all the interest to accrue and all this, and so it ended up being a quarter of a million dollars. And uh He wa he finished. Guys, it gets worse. He finished grad school in 1998. But he was hardly making enough money to pay off his student loans and other bills.

Kane, it's amazing that Joel, 49 years old, wasn't making enough money as a musician. to pay off his bills. I am so totes shocked. Wow. Forty-nine years old.

And he said he was trying to keep his student loans in forbearance, so he wasn't making payments, but all the interest was still just accumulating. And he goes, It was just so that I could subsist, so that I could survive.

Now The men I know would have been like, wow, I'm not going to make it as a musician, so I'm going to go get an actual job. And make money and pay off my debt because that's what a responsible citizen. that shows good stewardship of his fellow man would do. Right? Why is it sidebar?

that it's you're supposed to you're not considered a good citizen unless you're paying off someone's bills. Why is it that the good citizen expectation doesn't extend to the people who are putting other people in debt because of their stupid choices?

So Joel realized that You know, he didn't, he loved working in music, so he decided to keep his, he didn't want to get a different job.

So he did it, because he, I guess, works part-time as like a, I don't know, violinist or a, I don't know. And he said he um wanted to keep his student loan in forbearance and so He decided that they were, when the pause ended, he was going to have to tackle his debt. And then he got all his loan forgiven. His whole loan. was was all wiped out.

Isn't that crazy?

So great for him.

So, guess what?

Now, the relief. And this is, Lambden said, the relief of allows him the freedom to not only still play his music, but also pursues some of his long-term dreams. including taking a sabbatical to study with his meditation teacher in India.

So, the guy who didn't go to college. Who decided to, you know, actually acquire a skill, like a plumber or a welder or whatever. and gets a job. out of high school or out of trade school or out of tech school. Work's good money.

He's paying the academic welfare. of this forty nine year old trash baby Mm-hmm. refuses to stop pretending to be a musician. and had his $250,000 student loan wiped out so he could go meditate in India. And we're paying for it.

The pl the the plumber's paying for it. The welder's playing for it. The guy who works in landscaping is paying for it. The construction worker is paying for it. I'm paying for it.

This guy's older than me and I'm paying his debt. Explain that. This is so asinine. I mean, it's funny because it's so pathetic, but it's enraging too. And what gets me is that this guy has zero.

self-awareness to even feel shame. I think if you can't pay your debt, you don't get your degree. If you've got a problem with it, take it up with your university's endowment. They got multi-millions. In some instances, like the Ivy Leagues, they got billions of dollars.

Take it up with them. Because it's not our responsibility to pay for your welfare. And that's what it is. It's academic welfare. And these people look down on people Who, you know, maybe go and get food stamps and need help every now and then.

These people, and you know, they do, they look down on those folks. But people like Joel They're, by his standards, worse. Because he has no shame in his welfare. He thinks his welfare is more virtuous because it has to go with his stupid music degree. Why was he in school for nine years?

Number one, you're in nine years to study music. Maybe you're too stupid for college. He's 49 years old, graduated in 89, and he couldn't pay off his debt. You are a lazy slacker beta male. You're not a man.

You make my ovaries shrivel up and scream. I can't believe any woman would sleep with you, much less procreate with you. You are literally everything that is wrong with the progressive male sex. And on behalf of females everywhere, dear God, do not reproduce. You okay, Kane?

I'm all right. It doesn't make you mad? Yeah, it does. There are all kinds of I mean $250,000. That's a quarter million dollars.

That's a mortgage and then some for some people. Mm-hmm. Can I get a mortgage forgiven? No, you can't.

Well Because you don't vote the right way. That's really what it is. It's a BS.

Now, Biden's buying.

Now, he's doing this. Think about it. He's doing this. We're like six weeks out from the elect, not six weeks, I'm sorry. We're we're not, you know, a few months away from the election.

But He's doing this. To pay off, he's doing this to buy votes. Who do you think Joel's going to vote for? Who is 49-year-old Joel Lambden, who had a quarter of a million dollars in debt? Because he wanted to be a musician and get meditate in India.

Who do you think he's going to vote for? Where's that Jeopardy music while we all wait for the obvious? Oh, I know, right? It's just obvious. He's going to vote for Biden.

That's who he's going to vote for. He's gonna vote for Biden. I mean, I I'm trying not to be mean, but I want to bully this guy. I feel like we should all get to kick his ass at least once. Right?

What do I get for the return of my investment? You know what I'm saying?

This sucker should be showing up on my house, waking me up every morning playing the violin. Right? I mean this. Golly. I can't believe that people are proud of this kind of stuff.

It's disgusting. And they're like, the money. comes out of the Air. It just manifested out of the ether. It's so great.

I mean, I don't have to pay any of my bills anymore. Can't believe it? It was forgiven.

Well, where did the money come from? I don't. I'm stupid and I should get a refund on my college education because they didn't teach me basic economics.

So true. Right? Kali. I can't I can't even deal, man. I can't deal.

So that's who you're paying for. I mean, you know how many stories there are of this? There's tons of these stories. I hate to say it. There's tons of them.

Yeah. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. Yeah. Uh Fine second music for burst. I was like, hello, Mr.

Ghost. What in the world? Or you know what? The alternative there. is that uh he's doing the robot.

Which he could do, actually. I mean, he could do it. I mean, that's you know, beep, beep, boop, boop. Yeah, that's 80s. He had a little malfunction.

You just love it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Mm-hmm. We're at the uh conclusion of this.

First hour. And uh it's That was his skin suit. The skin suit could probably be a little tight. It's probably what it is. Yeah, they gotta like stretch it a little bit more and pull it, you know, pin it in the back, you know, cinch it.

You know, just cinch it. Just get you a belt and cinch it. That's all you gotta do. I don't have anything nice to say. I don't.

Should probably have some more rage juice. I have nothing else. I just it it it it is um I don't know. I was looking at this tweet from the White House. I said this in a headline yesterday.

They go, construction's officially begun on the nation's first high-speed rail project. And I'm And it's all because of Biden's investments were Remember the LA to San Francisco project that they were going to do? And it's like 110 frillion dollars. In the red. because they they couldn't build it.

In fact, the company, the French company that was going to build it, ended up leaving and they went and built it they built it in Zaire or something like that. They just re they just did it there and they in the amount of time that they were still boondoggling it up, over in California.

So yeah, they said uh they're gonna have um They are first high-speed rail project. I mean, there's that's the most important thing, right, is the The California high-speed rail was approved all the way in 2008. It had a $33 billion budget.

Now they have to have, there's no timeline. And in order to finish it, they require, I'm not even joking you. They require 100 billion to finish it. That is an absolute thing. This is from KCRA Channel 3.

California Bullet Train Project needs one another $100 billion to complete route from San Francisco to Los Angeles. What is that type of they meant million, right? Billion. One hundred billion. San Francisco Debt.

You know what? I will yeet you. for half that. I will find a way to yeet you from LA to San Francisco with your bags. Just think All the way there for half that price.

That sounds like a deal, don't it? I'll yeet a bunch of ye at a time. Fling your asses in the air all the way to San Francisco. I'll do it. For half that we'll do it for half the price.

Look, we're saving you money. Look at that.

So yeah, there it's a high speed rail connecting Las Vegas to Los Angeles. They're so excited about it. They go the high speed rail takes two hours and ten minutes. Three hours by plane. And it's literally like just a little over three hours to drive it.

Good grease. Stick with us. We got more in store. I think a lot of people need to go to Hillsdale. And maybe some people who went to college just should go back, but go to Hillsdale and actually get an education because this is what Hillsdale is focused on since their founding in 1844.

But an education contextualized by the pursuit of truth and defense of liberty. It's a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan, but they have all kinds of free online stuff.

So you don't have to be in southern Michigan to take advantage of it. You can just have a computer and you can have internet access. And for instance, they have this free speech digest called Imprimus, and they've been looking at in this latest issue how the American Medical Association has declared that medicine itself is so rife with white supremacy that they have to lower their standards on medical school entrance tests because to have higher standards is racist. These are people that are going to operate on your guts. This is a terrifying thing.

And it's happening in numerous other fields with equal severity. And this is the stuff that you need to be aware of. And this is smart commentary. And even solutions from thought leaders, like actual thought leaders, and no cost or obligation to get this. You sign up, it's totally for free.

Hillsdale produces and mails it as part of their educational mission on behalf of Liberty.

So sign up for your free subscription today at dana4fo rhillsdale.com. And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest? I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop. I honestly don't know all of what NYU stops. Is there something that NYU's doing?

I really don't know. I'm pretty sure they're. Do you know what NYU is doing? About Israel. Why are we protesting here?

I wish I was more educated. I'm not either. I came from Colombia. I was there all at Columbia and we came from the education. I'm not either.

Why are we in here? Today's College kids, ladies and gentlemen. You're forgiving, you're paying for all their loans now. You're paying for all those loans. I mean Why are we burning this Wendy's?

What are we doing? What happened? What Wendy's do with the Jews? What about AutoZen? Like, what did AutoZen do?

What's the what's the river and seas? What? Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. La la la la la.

Top of the second hour. I just That's pretty much, I think, that the Collective IQ. The people out there protesting. I watched an interview.

Someone had confronted one of the protesters in mid-chant, and they were going from the river to the sea. And the dude with the mic was like, okay, what do you mean from the river to the sea? And they're like, well, from like the river to the sea. Like wait a minute, wait like what river? The river?

Like where? And Palestine. There's a river in Palestine? But the C, what C? I don't know.

I like the C, that's there. I'm not even joking you, it was that bad.

Now like do you know what river specifically? Is there actually a river? This is what it's because they're thirsty, they're thirsty. They're seamsters. I just, I have no words for it.

These are people who desperately want attention. I need to figure out who I am. Let me go to this protest. I need to know what I'm protesting. Again, it's PCU.

We're not going to protest. Wait a minute. I'm is this like As Kane said, like pro-test, because I'm actually anti-test. I don't want to actually come out. and rally for a test.

Can't do that. They're so edgy. I went to a protest and there were police there. I'm so edgy. Are you kidding me?

Yeah. This is the result of the government-controlled education system. And dumb parents. Yeah. Who raises these people?

Which I think they're also the result of a public education system. What the hell is wrong with parents right now? I what is the matter with you? How do you allow your children to go out into the world to be this stupid? It is such an indictment of you Oh, my gosh I can't I just uh the I don't know, maybe it's just like the older I get.

The more I realize that I hate everybody. I mean, no, not you guys, but, you know, everybody. everybody else and people are dumb. They really Yeah. Why are we I wish it was more educated, like me too.

I just didn't even know what's happening. This isn't And they wanted to lower the voting age, by the way. No. I just think that they need to these universities need to start getting s serious with this stuff.

So like I said, Dana Lash with you. Good to be with you. At the top of this uh Second hour. I had to double-check and see when it was top of the second hour. And this pull this up.

This was, these were protesters outside. Of Chuck Schumer's house, audio somebody at seven, in Brooklyn. They were protesting Chuck Schumer. Last night. Check this out.

That was my best. Please get on the side. and they're all sleeping in outside this asking open. It's just totally so interesting that they all have the same shirts and hoodies, Kane, that say cease fire now, which I'm sure was a completely organic thing. I'm sure that all this huge crowd went to the same store.

And we're like, oh, wow, look at that says far now sharp. I'm going to purchase that. I'm sure that happened just completely organically, didn't it? Yeah, there doesn't appear to be any organization there. Yeah, that's exactly it.

And Schumer, Audio Sunbite 8, was asked About the protesters that were outside of his house last night. Audio Sun by eight, listen to this. We've seen pro-Palestinian protests on campuses like Columbia. Look, I put out a statement about Colombia. Peaceful protest is proper and appropriate.

And I've always had four goals in terms of Israel policy: one, radically reduce the presence of Hamas. You can't have peace with Hamas. Free the hostages, get as much humanitarian aid possible as gun, and do everything you can to avoid civilian casualties. And your message to the protesters outside your goal? Circling back to Frank's question, having goodness, goodness.

So yeah, this is uh Mm-mm. Oh, you know, we're trying to build a new casualty, so that's a good idea. He dodges the question, he wasn't even going to answer it. Wasn't even going to answer it. You know, he and Nancy Pelosi have been calling for a regime change.

Which is a weird phrase to use. They they want Netanyahu to step down. But why have they not said like the leaders of Hamas or Fatah or Palestinian Authority or anything like that? No, but they they shouldn't have to step down. They caused all this.

That's kinda weird.

So the leader of the country that's Defended itself needs to step down, but not the leader of the entity that attacked the country. A question? I mean, got six. Nancy says we should just believe Hamas. Oh, yeah.

Go ahead. Audio Soundbite Six. Let's go ahead and hear this. Mm-hmm. Overwhelming.

We don't know how many people have died. We have the Hamas report. Let's accept that it's tens of thousands. Ten would be too many, but tens of thousands of people. 35,000 seems to be the number at the moment.

That's what it said. Let's accept that it's not. It's whatever Pally Wood says it is, guys. Let's accept that. Just accept it.

It's whatever Pallywood says it is. By the way, CNN, Red State had the piece, CNN committed more media malpractice because they were running PR for Hamas regarding bodies found at the hospital.

Now remember, Hamas is trying to say that they lost more people in Gaza than all of what was lost at D-Day. I'm not kidding you. They were like the numbers they were making up were ridiculous. And no one's ever been able to, I mean, because it's Hamas. Whenever you hear, well, the Gaussian Health Ministry, that's Hamas.

They're the government there. And so Remember the um The whole story of the hospital that Hamas accidentally attacked its own rocket that originated in Gaza that was targeting Israel that didn't. It crashed right by a hospital but didn't hit the hospital. It was in a parking lot. Remember that?

And they were trying to say, Oh my gosh, that was Ezra all that far down even though there's video showing it being launched and literally falling right down still in Gaza. And now, there was nothing when Hamas fired a rocket at Israel and it hit an Israeli hospital. That was in February when that happened. There was nothing nobody said anything about any hospitals getting hit then. But then Hamas was like, We lost eleventy frillion people in that.

Oh, Israel attacked us. It wasn't our rocket. We lost eleventy frillion cerprillion point kajillion people. It's how many people we lost. It's like not even as many people that are in Gaza.

That's insane. But CNN ran Defense for them. I mean they It it's it's crazy. Like the the way They said, for instance, quote, a mass grave with more than 300 bodies was uncovered at a hospital in the southern Gazan city of Khan Yunis. Gaza civil defense workers said, Who are the Gazan civil defense camp?

God's in civil defense. See, that would have to be Hamas, wouldn't it? Yeah, you're correct. Ding, ding, that's Hamas. You don't get any praises, but you get the joy of being correct.

So they give A I mean, they they say that They had all of these bodies that they discovered. And then Apparently, like some of them had been tied up and they were buried alive before IDF even got there. That's what the sign showed, but then CNN didn't dive any deeper into that. It's just bizarre. Like, they have been running, they've been running.

Interference, like they've been, they've been a point person for hundreds. Hamas on this. All of these people who just take these claims as gospel truth, that's their. Media malpractice shouldn't surprise you, but the Pallywood that they engage in is insane. And it just that's why you can't hardly trust anything that comes out.

of this this area. You can't.

So Speaking of the college protesters, I know you guys heard about, I saw this last night. I sent a piece out about this last night. It was called Three Stupid Things: Alec Baldwin vs. Crackhead, Sushi Hunger Strikes, and entitled Trash Babies.

So, first off, Trash Baby Isra Hersey. She's the daughter of the rabid anti-Israel lawmaker, Elena Omar. She goes to Barnard College, which is like over $60,000 a year, and that's just the tuition. The college warned them: if you get involved in any of this protest stuff, you could face disciplinary action if you're disrupting stuff with your protest.

Well, then she got disciplined. She was arrested because she was disruptively protesting. And she was. uh suspended and booted from Bernard's campus. And she was shocked about this, which I always think these Nepo babies who were born into wealth and opportunity, who cosplay as like these poverty chic revolutionaries when they want to manipulate the proletariat, they're shocked.

To discover the limitations of their own fake hardassery because, oh, I was arrested for this. Where's my oh my gosh, I was kicked off my campus. I can't access my dining plan. She's begging for sympathy in teen vogue. Because she doesn't have access to her dining plan.

And she's acting like they did this big woe is me piece on her where she paints herself as a bigger victim than the actual victims of October 7th. She was like, I don't know when I can go home. I don't know if I'll ever be able to. I sent the compass an email like, hi, I rely on campus for my meals. I rely on my dining plan.

And she said, after I was suspended, they said I could pick up a pre she goes, I could pick a pre-packaged bag of food. There was no food support, no, nothing. You know who can't go home and who doesn't have food support? Like all of the people in the uh the kibbutzes who were attacked and murdered that Hamas burned down uh their communities and they were left homeless and like their family members are missing because they were kidnapped or raped to death. I mean, they can't, they can't, they don't have any food support, they don't have any famous mom in Congress or any uncle dad to be able to ask, yeah, I said it uh for help.

I mean, seriously. You absolute nepo trash baby. This is so stupid. She's 21 years old. When you are disrupting stuff on campus after you were even warned, I mean, good grief.

This is it's so goofy.

Now They also had gist you guys are gonna love this bougie protesters engaged in a hunger strike at Yale. by eating sushi. They had a sushi snack. Have you ever heard of anything bougier in your entire life? They literally Anti Israel protesters at Yale.

We're eating sushi. Please let it be gas station sushi. They were eating fresh sushi on Monday while they were engaged in a week-long hunger strike. The FANISHE FREEDOM FIGHTERS Yeah, they were on their sixth day of not eating.

So stupid.

Well, actually, they were. How do you. How do you. How do you participate in a hunger strike while eating sushi? Though.

And the fact that they were walking around with sushi, again, the bougiest thing I've ever seen in my life. That tells you everything that you need to know. You can't take any of this seriously. Black Rifle Coffee is veteran-owned. Veteran roasted.

They hire a veteran in active duty. They support our first responders. They support our law enforcement. But you know what? That's all great and everything.

But you're like, okay, well, they're in the business to make coffee. The hell's a coffee taste like? Coffee's great. I mean, they have all these great roasts. The tactic squatch has been the thing, for whatever reason, I've been stuck on this roast for like four and a half weeks now, but it's premium coffee.

Served to people who love America. And they get the best beans in the world and they bring them back to their facilities in here in the U.S., in Tennessee and Utah, where they roast them five days a week. And everything that they do is about paying homage to American culture and our military history. It's one of the reasons why the big coffee, big coffee hates them so bad because they're mainstreaming Americana. They're mainstreaming 2A.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Vive. 95 Express stores are set to close amid bankruptcy. I worked there and. Summer.

It was a summer job during college. There are 95 different express stores in more than 30 states because they filed for bankruptcy. They're based in Ohio Express Inc., founded in 1980.

Now they're having to compete with Zara, HM. They filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. I gotta say, Express clothes have never been bad. If I'm being honest, like, I think that they're better quality than HM. I'm not an HM fan.

And I think that if you're gonna do, like, there's certain things you don't have to, I don't believe in disposable fashion, but I do think that there's certain things that are way overpriced. Express has always been decent quality.

So I'm just saying.

So there are 95 that, I guess you can still buy online, but 95 stores are gonna be closing. That's wild.

So let's see. Apparently, this is Russian cyber attacks, hacked a Texas panhandled, hacked Texas panhandled drinking water, and apparently flooded the town in a first ever raid by a Kremlin-aligned group. They say criminal, they're still investigating. A hacking group that's allied with the Russian government took credit for it. And they said it was in Muleshoe, a community of 5,000 not far from the New Mexico border.

And they had thousands of gallons that overflowed for almost an hour.

So they had a state of emergency declared for the town. But they said that the group was a part of some allied Russian government group. And I don't know. I mean, it could be a psyop. It could be the, it could, they could be they're claiming that they are.

I don't know. You can't trust anything because everything is dumb. And as I told Kane on break, we're already on the downside of peak humanity. Uh let's see, the uh apparently everybody's getting butt surgery. Yeah, they're getting their butts surgically enhanced.

It's a big thing. There's a whole article about it: the Brazilian butt lift. Um I have one word for you that We'll solve all your problems. and you will not have to have surgery. Do you want to know what that word is?

It's called squats. Moving on. This is a stupid story. Patients are less likely to die if treated by a female doctor, according to a study. Could be everything.

No, no, no, no, everything's racist, right?

So you gotta just lower the standards. Just let everybody in. It's ignorant that we even require any kind of standards to get it. You know, just give everybody a medical license. Everybody can operate on guts.

Squirrels are causing hazards on runways and in the airspace at Bay Area airports. The tree rats. Are causing lots of problems. They're making unsafe airfield conditions. And amongst the safety concerns, they said they impact pavement, signage, and lighting.

and they're attracting birds of prey. to invade the airspace. I don't care. I really don't care. It's San Francisco.

I don't care what happens there. I just really don't care. There's a new color-coded heat risk tool added. magenta.

So if it's like super hot, it goes to magenta now. Really? It's not red hot, it's magenta hot from the National Weather Service. I think you should just do it by like cities.

So, like, hot and humidity. Like, how humid is it? Is it Houston, Houston, humid? Or Phoenix non-human. Like, do that kind of a skill.

People get that. They understand that more. Up next, Tennessee passed a law to allow school employees the choice of carrying. We'll talk that. Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the country.

Yeah. He actually read the teleprompter. Uh End of quote repeat. Exit stage. Pause.

Oh my gosh. He's um Who am I thinking of? Anchorman. Oh, yeah. Don't put anything on it.

He'll read it. Ron Burgundy will read anything you put in the prompter. Don't put it there. How many times I gotta tell you this? Cheers.

Welcome back to the program. Daniel Ash with you. Gosh, Paul. And then everyone, were they cued? Oh, without a doubt.

They jumped. Can I hear it one more time? Because it's like they jumped in like. It was weird. Listen.

Imagine what we can do next. Four more years. Uh oh. Pause. Oh, he just realized.

Shouldn't have read that. Oh. Pause. I mean, that's a beautiful moment right there. It should be in a museum.

There's a certain amount of, like, ankle grabbing when you're yelling for four more years of Joe Biden. A certain amount of ankle grabbing? 100% the microphone. No, that's doing the human pretzel. That's not ankle grabbing.

That's like contorting yourself. Like it in some cirque de Soleil kind of thing. That's what that is. That goes beyond. That's talking about putting your elbows in between your own legs and bending.

That's what that is. I just don't know how you can just seal clap.

something like that with a straight face. It's just unbelievable to me. But meanwhile, thanks to Biden, now Amazon's doing uh They got a delivery a new grocery delivery program for SNAP recipients. It's a program that they're going to make available. It's $4.99 a month for SNAP recipients.

I'm not making this. Can I just, we've got to go. Oh my gosh. Are you serious? I just shared with you the story.

I shared the story with you. It's right in there, right in there in the. Right there.

So it's Government welfare supposed to be spent on delivery fees? Yeah, I don't know if it's like if you can use Part of your I I first off I don't think you have. Do you have to be a prime member to do the snap thing? Because it says It's open to Prime members and recipients of the supplemental stamp stuff. Uh $10 a month, Prime can do unlimited grocery deliveries on orders, $35 or more from Whole Foods.

So that's like, what, an onion? Uh Amazon Fresh. Various local grocery retailers, and then you can do SNAP recipients, can do it, I guess, just for four.

Okay, so it's just for $4.99 a month. For how many deliveries a month? Just one? Uh I guess unlimited? I don't know.

It doesn't actually tell that. They apparently target and Walmart. have a similar thing? And they're doing it and they launched it in Sacramento late last year. And they're doing it in Columbus and Denver.

is I guess where they're kicking it off at now.

So, okay, so I you remember the narrative of the food deserts, and you know how in some areas that's absolutely true. Like in some cities, and it's and can I just interrupt you?

So, hold your train of thought, pause your train of thought. It's not because grocers are racist. It's because it doesn't make sense for them to open a grocery store in an area that doesn't have either, that doesn't, can't support it. Right. That's like the whole thing.

And I say this to somebody who lived in downtown St. Louis. Or if it gets. you know, riddled with crime, for an example.

Some businesses don't want to be there because of that. Wow, imagine that. But th so imagine I guess this is their response to eliminating food deserts then, if you can just have it delivered to you no matter where you are. Then there is no such thing as a food desert at that point, right? Yeah, but where does that say we are that now you can get your snap deliveries on Amazon?

I don't know. Everything's about these microtransactions. Everybody's doing these little things. Like you do a little service fee here and. This little delivery fee there, and this tip there, and the next thing you know, Your hundred dollars into a sandwich that got delivered.

Oh my gosh, th that is true. That is true. Do you? I don't do, like, I'll do Instacart every now and then. Amazon Fresh, I think they give you bad stuff.

I'm not a fan of it. No. I definitely will not do produce I will not do produce on Amazon Fresh. I literally just will forego it. If that's the only way I could get it, if I can't get to it, because not every time, I can't always get to the store all the time because I work a lot.

Um and then A lot of times I like to plan stuff in advance. And sometimes I'll have a grocery delivery. Also, and I'm just gonna say it. When I go to the store, I And moms out there or dads, a parent out there understands this. Especially if you work crazy hours.

It's kind of like a treat to go to the store. Even if you're not buying anything because you're out and you're just looking at stuff. Is that... Is that Weird to say that? No.

No. In my house when I grew up, First, it was just my mom for a while, and then my mom and my stepdad. And my stepdad. controlled two things. And we didn't question it.

The thermostat? And a grocery list. He handled the grocery shopping. Because my stepdad believes that women are incapable of going to the grocery store and getting stuff on the list. And he's not wrong.

Right? He is not wrong. And he has a meticulous grocery list. He is a I if you think that you coupon. You do not coupon as hard as pawpaw coupons.

No one coupons harder than pawpaw. He will put you to shame. In fact, he hated the idea of the smartphone. until we're like, but there's coupon apps on there. And then he was like, what?

And then, when he found out you could get a smart thermostat and can control that on your phone. I know. Here's a whole new world for him.

Now Yeah, he went from the cricket They're the jitterbug to that. The little jitterbug funny went from that to that.

So he has like a meticulous and just like a meticulous grocery list and you got to have a coupon. It was you had to basically make a proposal. To put something on the grocery list that was not normally on the grocery list. Like you had to go, if he couldn't find the coupon for it, it was up to you. You had to get the coupon and prepare a presentation as to why you felt This item should be on the grocery list.

And he added in a section. If you put something on the grocery list in the wrong section, It struck. It doesn't get got.

so he would start in the order he had the store all mapped out. And he would get mad when they'd change it. He had the store all mapped out.

So, like, if you're looking at the piece of paper and it's facing you, where you're not looking at it from the screen, if you're looking at the piece of paper on the left side, Of the piece of paper, my left, it'd be your left, was my right. He would have, he would start with the produce. Like you go in and you hit the produce, and then you hit, you know, like the meat, and then you get into the dairy, and then you start getting into the dry goods before hitting the freezer section last. And that was very important because the freezer section, you don't want freezer section food sitting in your car for forever, right? And you had to put it in the appropriate spot on a blank piece of paper.

You just had to know where the sections were. And if you put. Like if you put a dry good. in the produce section struck It's not getting got. He's very serious about that.

And so I just Like, with all of this, I mean, this whole thing is just, it's just so bizarre to me. I, um I don't know. I What was my train of thought? I got so into his list, but I had started having. nom level flashbacks of putting wrong things on the list.

And if you gave him an expired coupon? Oh. You are a persona non grata with him. But that's I mean, that's how he did everything. He like he couponed everything.

And I don't know. I remember my grandma having a talent on double coupon days. Remember when they would do double coupon days? No, but he does. You would take a coupon that was 50 cents off, and they'd be a dollar off.

And sometimes the item was only like a dollar to start with. And you could end up with like a bunch of free stuff. I never understood it. But I loved going into the grocery store and just because I'd get distracted. Man, Costco.

You'd you'd get like a big fountain drink and you'd just walk around Costco. And there's so many things to look at. They have so many like interesting products in the store. Especially now, you're like, wow, look at this. Look at that, look at this.

That's me. Look at this, look at that, look at this, look at that.

So I would like order stuff online 'cause I I 'cause I hate Normally I don't like shopping, but I like looking at foodstuffs. Otherwise, I hate going to the store as Kane and everybody knows. Like, if you see me in a black t-shirt, it's probably, I probably got it off Amazon and it was probably part of a four-pack. Not even kidding you. I keep it pretty fancy.

Uh it's easy. But I love going into the grocery store and looking at the food stuff, like especially the cheese section. But my stepdad thinks that's insane. And then, when I was telling him with the food delivery stuff, I'm like, look, you can just immediately go with what you want. And sometimes you can apply the coupon like right here.

And then he's like, he'll do like a whole spreadsheet breakdown of the delivery fee, et cetera. And he'll be like, I can save $2.83 if I just go there myself. I'm like, but that's your time, an hour of your time spent getting this stuff. Penny save is penny earned. I just, you know, I don't even argue with him.

I'm like, okay. I just not even going to argue with him about it. But those are the two things that he controlled. I did not learn a single thing, except I just, if I see a coupon, I'm like, yeah, I'll do it. But I just try to stick to like the stuff That's required.

But man. The uh, I agree with you though. A lot of the, I get it if some people are in a tight spot, you know, and they need to get they, you know, food delivery. I get it, like, especially if we it's the holidays and we have people stay at the house. And I can't always get away.

It's super helpful then. But a lot of times, the Amazon Fresh Stop, their produce is just. Just rank, man. It's not good. And I just I cannot deal with Whole Foods or the central market.

I can't stand going into either of those places. I'd rather chew my own arm off in the parking lot next to a coexist sticker. I can't I cannot stand. It's like a third world country, and everyone's a jackass when you go into these stores. Why is that?

Like the meanest people are at these stores. You always get some like bougie lady with the acrylic nails who's in the produce. Like, she actually knows what she's looking at. Shut up. Like, just get out the way.

I just need a young coconut for meringue. Get out my way. Godly. Every now and then I have to go in there because I need one item, and it's only something that they got. And it's usually for a baking thing or a sauce.

It's one thing I got to get, and I'm not going to have it delivered because it's dumb. But I got to go in there, and I just sit out. Sit outside the store, 'cause you know they're all progressives. And you got to go in there. And every, I mean, it's just, I can't deal with it.

I can't deal with it. I try to limit my visits there to like once or twice a year. I'm with you though. I have bad luck with Amazon Fresh. Like every time I order something from Amazon Fresh, half of the order is bad or rotten.

I ordered apples not too long ago and it came back like half the bag was rotten. I don't like it. It's like they put the oldest stuff in there. I literally will skip Amazon Fresh every time. I will not do Amazon Fresh.

It's horrible. I'd rather, again, I'd rather literally walk into a Whole Foods. Wow. I know, right? Can I have one more thing?

Can I have one more observation on this before we move? I had to lighten it up a little bit. Do you, whenever I go into those stores, I swear to you, I'm always by the person because I don't, I'm sorry, I don't bring bags into the store. What? I don't do that.

I'm not there. I don't sit here and have my little hemp bags and go into the store with my hemp bag. And then I have you seen the people like they virtue signal because they go, oh, paper or plastic. I have my own bags. And then it's a big deal.

And then they look around like they get a citizenship award because they brought their own stupid bags to the store. I cannot deal with this.

Well, I remember having to go to Aldi's. You had to bring your bags or buy them. Yeah. You went to Aldi's. You had to bring your own bag.

Yeah. Or Aldi's is like, carry all that stuff out in your arms, fool. Or in the empty box that you found on the shelf. That's exactly what I do. But you know what I mean?

Like whole visits central market, they do this. And they, no, I have my own bags. Mm-hmm. And now they just use Paper, but plastic bags, I like, I will reuse my plastic bags for stuff just because I, I don't know, I do. I don't, not because I'm trying to be a good person, I don't care.

But whenever I'm like, yeah, I'll take plastic, does anyone else notice? It's like the world stops. Everything stops, the whole store shuts down, and someone's like, Who hates planet Earth over here? Is it you? Did you ask for the plastic bags?

You? Just hate the planet. Just wanna rape the planet, don't you? Kali Yeah, I just I will not I'd rather I will literally carry it out. I'll put it in my put stuff in my pockets and carry it in my arms before I bring my own back.

Not gonna happen. I can't I draw a line guys. I draw the line. Our partners who help bring you free radio, the folks over at Caltech, you've heard me talk for months now about the Caltech sub 2K. Nothing's changed.

It's still brand. It's they came out with it earlier this year and it's been shipping. And so the Sub 2K, a 9mm carbine, it folds in half. It's great when space is limited. And it's just a very innovative designer.

The whole, the way it's designed is incredibly innovative. And I like the previous iterations. And I have the Gen 2, now the Gen 3 that they have. You don't have to detach your optics anymore to fold it in half, which is nice. The whole thing, that twist and turn rotating foreign, it's patent pending.

It just, you know, quickly and easily folds it in half. Also, can just as quickly and easily deploy it as well. And some of the other upgrades that they made to it include they have the trigger redesign mechanics. You get a lightened five-pound pool.

So that translates into improved accuracy. The action's been updated. The operating handles is super, it's easier to pull back. You have an internal buffer that means softer felt recoil. There's just a lot of really cool stuff that they've improved on this.

And so if you haven't seen the Gen 3 sub-2K, it reads a sub-2000 on the website. You got to go check it out. It's from Keltech, family-owned and operated, made in America, Florida-based, and all their stuff. Super innovative. And I mean, that's this sub-2K is one of the cooler things that they make.

You got to check it out. To learn more about it, visit Keltechweapons.com, K-E-L-T-E-C. Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida Man.

So, Florida man saved his neighbor from the jaws of an 11-foot gator by hitting it with his car. Collier County. A Florida man narrowly escaped a potentially deadly encounter with an 11 foot gator on Friday. NBC affiliate WBBH reported that Florida man Rick Fingeret was walking his two Labradors near a pond And he was attacked by this gator. He said he tried to fight it off by kicking it and poking it in the eyes and nose, but Walt Rutter.

Happened to be driving by, and he saw the man trapped on the ground with his legs inside a gator's mouth. Just sidebar for a minute. Can you imagine? You're just driving home. And you see a gator eat a dude in the road.

Can you just imagine that? Like, what in the world? world.

So, and that's what he said. Rutter said, I was driving and saw a man laying on the ground, pulled over, got out of the car, and saw the gator heading by the leg.

So rudder did. What any smart dude would do. rain right over the gator.

Now, Finger survived the attack, but he's like, I don't know what I would have done had Walt not ran this Gator over. That's pretty amazing. And also, did it kill the gator? Like, I can imagine. It let him go.

It let the dude go.

So clearly, it felt the pressure. Man.

So, uh pickles and vicodin. Yeah, that's the next. Florida man's pickle jar. dispute led to a Vicodin bust, according to deputies, of course.

So, this Florida man was arrested after a physical attack led to the discovery of a drug possession, according to Sumter County Police. David Simony, 34, was arrested and charged with resisting an officer, battery, drug possession after the incident that unfolded on Thursday. He pushed a dude up a wall. After a verbal argument and told he wasn't welcome at his apartment. And then I love how they just introduced the pickle jar halfway through.

Somebody said he went to collect his pickle jar, but the guy told him to leave the house.

So then he was ultimately placed under arrest. He refused to identify.

So, did he go for the pickle jar? What the hell is in the pickle jar? Who wrote this story? It's an AOL.com story written by like a barely illiterate person. Anyway, $4,000 bond.

I just want to know what was the pickle jar. Was it pickles? Was there dope in it? Was there vicodin in the pickles? No, it just said they ended up finding vicodin.

But it wasn't, he's like, they didn't say it was in the pickle jar at all. There's a small container of Vicodin in the guy's pocket. Florida Man also wrote the story. Apparently. Good night.

I mean, that's kind of wild. And a Florida man ran from deputies inside Walmart after he decided to expose himself. We'll save that. We'll save that winner for you tomorrow. Second or third hour, actually, on the way.

Stick with us. They had to die in. In Tennessee yesterday. in their state capitol. Lawmakers were protesting The bill that passed the legislature.

Heads to the governor's desk. Governor Bill Lee, a Republican, 68 to 28 in favor. And it's a bill that would allow teachers who choose to carry and undergo the training to carry. To carry in school, and this comes after the trans terror attack at a private elementary school. In Nashville last year.

Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you, Top of This Third Hour. And that's They passed it and it's gonna get uh it'll be signed. by Republican Governor Bill Lee. Uh I don't see why it wouldn't be.

But uh it's gonna be they it's their teachers would be able to carry and It said that, and it would only allow, again, some teachers and staff. There are. You know, there's a caveat there. I mean, you have to, A, want to carry. It's not just going to be for anybody who wants to, anybody, for everybody to carry.

You have to want to carry. And then additionally, you have to undergo certain training, you have to meet certain training requirements to carry. And I was actually looking over the text of the bill.

So there's, I mean, there are some prerequisites in there. And if, and, because you don't want anyone who doesn't want to carry to carry. And so that's, and beyond the police and administrators, they said that they're gonna, I think it's for the safety of everybody, too. to c you know, not not make it public as to who's carrying and who isn't carrying. And so So they uh it's it was in the Senate it was a 26 to 5 party line vote.

And it's going to go to Governor Lee's desk. But there were protesters. They were ordered to leave the Senate galleries. They had the moms demand, the Astro Turfed group that was there. And The uh I mean, I can't tell you how many teachers I've heard from.

across the country that are like, Yeah, we would like to be able To carry. If they had the choice to carry, they would. And the people that I know are very well trained. Most, you know, everybody who carries usually is because you realize the legal weight of it. But you know in my kids' school there were teachers who were able to carry and they had to do the same thing.

They you have to have obviously have to have permission of the school, but they underwent training and they they were only teachers who wanted to carry and then in addition to that we you know school security too. But A lot of this comes from The inability for security officers to be everywhere at once.

So, like in Parkland, when you leave doors unlocked and gates unlocked, and anybody can walk in, and you've had warnings about a very dangerous individual for months, there was only one security guard, apparently, for. Three campuses or three buildings on the campus. And that's a lot of ground to cover. For one person, they can't be everywhere all at once, and that's why it's important to have those force multipliers, like the locked door, et cetera. But even then you also want to have as your last option a teacher to be able to protect themselves and their cla and their students.

And there are teachers who do want that. The teachers who don't, they don't have to. And I don't know how many, you know, we had the trans terror attack in Nashville that they try to make. They try to victimize Christians further by blaming the victims for being Christian as to why the trans terrorists decided to mow them down, which was insane. But there's never been, for all the fear-mongering about this, there's never been.

They you don't have I mean, there's never been any ins incident from it. And that's that's what it is. It's this fear mongering from these anti-gun groups. I mean, some of the lawmakers were like, oh, it's one of the most dangerous pesos, et cetera, et cetera. You're not making a teacher law enforcement either.

And this is such a stupid argument that I hear from people who say, well, you know, they're supposed to be there teaching the kids reading and writing and arithmetic. They're not supposed to be there acting as law enforcement. Do you not understand the concept of Second Amendment? Are you Somehow, a professional speaker by exercising your free speech rights, and you're also being a teacher? Do you understand this?

Natural rights are just who you are, and it's what you live with, and it's part of your day-to-day life, like carrying. It's not an extra task that you perform.

So, stop trying to compartmentalize it, which also, by the way, undermines the natural right, ironically. Stop compartmentalizing it. It's it's people want to be able to protect themselves. If you're engaged in the free practice of religion, are you a priest? Are you a bishop?

Are you a pastor? Are you just someone who wants to exercise their religion? I think it's so ridiculous that people try to undermine. The exercise of natural rights by acting as by compartmentalizing it and acting as though, well, I guess you've got to be law enforcement then. A lot of these people, no offense, are trained better than law enforcement.

And I say that because remember, Parkland, their deputies, their sheriff did not, and the deputies were saying this during the Stoneman Douglas Commission, during the hearings. They weren't kept up with response to mass casualty situations.

So Good on Tennessee for doing this. Good on Tennessee. And those lawmakers that laid on the floor to do a die-in, what is the point of a dye in? That's so dumb. You're laying on the floor.

Stop it. Why don't you do a live-in and show the amount of lives saved every year from lawful use of firearms? I mean, if you're going to have the conversation, then go all the way and have the conversation. All right, so. Okay.

This is a goofy story. I can't believe that somebody actually I saw this headline yesterday.

So in Australia, It's the curtain University Sustainability Policy Institute in Australia. Research teams combed through 27 different reports. Drawing conclusions about ways to curb methane emissions in dairy and beef sectors.

So now they want to breed cows that fart less. To curb global warming. That's literally. What they deduced. They published this in the journal Climate.

This month? And they said they want to breed less farty cows. I'm not even joking. And Apparently this also this is in the piece also. Researchers apparently also previously attempted to potty train cattle.

Keynes dynam to curb the effects of cow urine that contains ammonia, which then when mixed with soil becomes gas nitrous oxide.

So they were training in 2021 a team of scientists. Scientists trained dairy cows to use a special pin called, I'm not making this up, hands to sky, the Mulu. Oh boy. encouraging them to urinate on astro turf without harming the environment. If the cattle used mulu, they were rewarded with sugar water.

If they were relieved if they relieved themselves outside, they were sprayed with water for three seconds. It said that 11 of the 16 cattle Uh learned to use the Mulu. And you know, the others just didn't care. And the researcher literally said, This is how some people train their children. They reward them if they do this correctly, and they don't if they do not.

So you're comparing training casts to training kids.

Okay. I got an idea. Why don't we just eat more beef? Yeah, I think the way it's supposed to be. Eat more beef.

But who thought giving cows a reward that they would never eat in nature? Like, you think cows are just going around eating sugar? No, they're not.

So you're gonna reward cows with something they wouldn't get in nature. Because they Pee on something that they would never pee on in nature. Is this what we're doing? And what is having all that sugar water do to like their milk and I mean, if it's dairy cows, you gotta think of that. I it doesn't sound particularly healthy.

Well, the these are stupid people, Kane. This is I love the climate and the The hemp-wearing, tofu-eating, tree-hugging, nut-chomping people that Come up with this stuff. They're the best, aren't they? But let's say let's just say, for example, somehow they were able to breed non-farty cows and then we look at the environment, it wouldn't move the needle at all unless they're able to actually stop volcanoes. and stuff like that.

That's where the needle would be moving. Yeah, the volcanoes put what it would there was a study that the amount of, what is it, carbon dioxide they emit into the atmosphere during explosions is like j like enough for multiple generations. Which, by the way, carbon dioxide, the number one thing plants crave. Yeah, they do love it, the plants. And people are choosing Brando.

What For the electrolytes, as you know. Yeah, yeah.

So that's uh yeah, the the Maybe they can learn how to train the uh volcanoes. They should go down there in the crater and see it. Volcano Lou. They should all go down there in the crater and see it.

So, the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea. has decided to Well, he had a checkmate moment here with Joe Biden. The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, James Merupi, blasted the President. saying that the island did not deserve to be called cannibals. And then he said that uh Maybe they need to come and get some of their he goes, The remains of World War II lie scattered.

All over Papua New Guinea, including the plane that carried his uncle. He says, you know, our people live daily with the fear of being killed by detonated bombs of World War II.

So he goes, Why don't they come and clean it up? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Good job, Biden. You made the country mad because you said they were all cannibals.

By the way, how is that not racist? If if Trump had gone out there, remember, Trump was talking about actual criminals coming over the border and saying that, yeah, they're not sending us their best. And everyone's like, racism. Joe Biden literally labels an entire island Where their what's what's their phrase, people of color. Live.

And He calls them all cannibals. That's okay? What Are you serious? Because that actually sounds right. Rexist.

I just gotta say, 'cause you He inferred that the whole island, I mean, they're just that's Racist. Based on the amount of anger that comes from just misgendering somebody. Yeah. Yeah. What is this?

I I I don't know. I I I I I don't know. I just find this kind of amazing. But now, so you get the prime minister, they're mad. Joe Biden out there improving relations throughout the world.

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

So, nobody's selling books anymore. There was this very interesting report that came out. It had to do with this trial that took place two years ago. Penguin Random House wanted to buy Simon Schuster, and they had an opposition. It was a $2.2 billion purchase, and there was opposition to it because they were condensing the big five publishing houses into four.

And so, the government intervened. It was an antitrust case. Anyway, there was this report. All of these people got up, all of these publishing titans got up, and they were talking about how bestsellers are rare and nobody buys books anymore. Nobody actually buys books anymore.

They're saying that, I mean, ultimately, it's very rare to even move like a thousand units. That's crazy. I, it's just digital or people's attention spans. I don't know. It's wild.

Also, let's see. Nope, I don't want to do this one. We're not even touching that. I'm not even going to touch it. Not touching that one.

A Swiss airjet almost collided with four other planes. In a near-catastrophic accident on the JFK runway. It was, this is wild. It was a jet with Swiss air. It almost hit four other planes.

It was a communications error that put them all on the runway at the same time. It was bound for Zurich. It had been cleared for takeoff. It began rushing down the runway, but they had to hit the brakes because apparently air traffic control also cleared the path for four other planes, according to ABC 7. And there was audio that captured it and it said heavy rejecting takeoff traffic on the runway is what the pilot had said.

Thankfully, Swiss Air, they had a really quick thinking pilot and the crew, and they said that they quickly de-escalated it. The FAA is investigating. The agency didn't respond, but that's wild.

So, like, they were one, they were, they were gonna cross. I mean, that is so dangerous. Can you imagine? Thank heavens, they were quick-thinking on that, all of that stuff. Uh let's see the uh Topeka Zoo ostrich.

is dead because it grabbed and swallowed a staff member's Key, that's really sad. That is so sad. That that oh my gosh.

So this uh poor ostrich.

Somehow got a hold of it. I mean, it saw somebody had keys. It was shiny, it made noise. And so they grabbed it. The ostrich grabbed it, consumed it.

It's a five-year-old female ostrich named Karen. It had lived there. since March of last year. And it was in the Giraffe and Friends exhibit. And they didn't make the staff member's name public.

It makes me think that they're not supposed to have. Objects like that near the ostriches. These are quick and curious.

So that's a little sad, a little sad story. Let's see. Also, an ambulance ran over a police officer and a woman while responding to a medical distress call. This was in Edmonton. The ambulance that was called to assist the woman in distress struck both the woman who called the ambulance to assist her in distress and the police officer that was helping her.

They came across a woman in a parking lot in medical distress. They were providing first aid. They call EMS. When the police arrived, it legit ran right over the woman and the officer. Like, how did they show up?

Like, just barreling into the parking lot. They took both of them to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries by another ambulance.

So, they apparently were investigating. How that happened. Good grief. They've called, recalled cat robots in Japan Seka Toys. They said there's a burning smell, and apparently also they're satanic.

I'm kidding about the last part. They said that the robot cats smell like burning. Like burning cats or just like a burning Electronics. It's I mean, I feel like there's But they said, no, there's the recall. And it's, I mean, they just released these things in February.

And so they said that, yeah, they it's. It's tough to get a real cat. I don't know if you've seen the video of these, they're really weird. Have you seen the video for it? I have.

It's um It's a robot cat. It's a cat that's a robot and it's And apparently some of the fur burns too. Like the they said that some of the Yeah. There's jokes in there somewhere. Let me read this to you.

The cat robots were marketed as replacements, and users are shown cuddling the machines, caressing their faces and speaking to them while their blacklit blue eyes glow. That's terrifying.

Being at the Oklahoma City airport this morning was not the way Valerie Watson thought her Turks and Keiko's vacation would end. Just getting to hold them again. It just filled my mama aheart. She's home, but her husband and father of two Ryan is in jail on the islands, facing a potential mandatory minimum sentence of 12 years behind bars. Over four rounds of hunting ammo, airport security found in his carry-on bag as the couple was set to leave Turks and Caicos earlier this month.

We were trying to pack. more shorts and flip-flops, you know, you know, packing ammunition was. Not at all, our intent. We spoke with the Watsons Sunday before they learned Valerie would not be charged and be allowed to return home. This went from what was supposed to be a dream vacation to a nightmare.

Brian Hegridge from Pennsylvania is awaiting trial after ammo was found in his checked bag in February. Subsequently, spent eight nights in their local jail.

Some of the darkest. Hardest Times in my life, quite frankly. Possessing a gun or ammunition is prohibited in Turks and Caicos, however.

So. I know a little bit about Texan Caicos. We used to go there quite frequently. And actually, it was there over spring break as well. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash with you, bottom of this third hour.

So here's the situation.

So it's this family, they went to celebrate somebody's 40th birthday party. And they were both detained for a while. The mom was allowed to come back. The dad faces 12 years in prison. For having a little bit of hunting ammunition in his carry-on bag, because apparently it was a bag.

He went deer hunting, and I guess he took his bag for deer hunting. on an international trip, which that There's a lot to unpack here. First off, this isn't a Second Amendment issue. Because this is a foreign country and they have their own laws. That's number one.

Number two, Turks in Caicos, their government is weird. They locked down. I don't know if you remember this, their whole island locked down over during the pandemic. And we didn't go for a long time because they demanded that you have every single shot you could get. Not just like one vaccine shot, one government injection that was falsely advertised as a vaccine.

Not just one shop, but they wanted you to get every booster, everything, and you had to download it. It was one of the more strict. It was one of the stricter Thank governments, I think, with a lot of this stuff. uh with regards to the pandemic and the shot and all of that. And You had to have like all of it.

to even visit. And you couldn't go unless you could prove that you had every booster, every injection. And you gotta download their government app and all this stuff.

So we didn't go for a number of years and They, I mean, it's a very corrupt government, and we hear that from the people there. They are dealing with a crazy immigrant. They're dealing with a lot of Crime and illegally possessed guns right now because you got Haitians that are illegally immigrating, and they are now outnumbering the actual indigenous population.

So they're dealing with a lot of. A lot of stuff. And I mean, I don't know. I don't know what their government is doing. That said, one of the reasons why I would never do like just a house there, I always would stay.

at either like a like a hotel or a resort. Is because I can't even take a blade there. I mean, they're very strict on what you can have. And if it doesn't have like, you know, the security system and all this stuff, I mean, I gotta have a way to defend myself. Like, you can't even, they're really strict on what you can have and what you can, what you can even use.

And so You got to know that stuff when you're going to a foreign country because they don't have the same laws that we have here in the United States.

Now, I think that there are. You know, people just make mistakes sometimes. They mess up and it's an accident. I don't think the guy went there to run four rounds of ammunition for crying out loud.

However, you have to anticipate that not every country That they're probably, I mean, not every country is going to be nice to you, and that they may have a jackwagon government that is going to ignore the difference between.

some doing something accidentally and doing something on purpose. Uh that being said, never ever ever, I would never. Ever, ever, ever, ever take my range bag or any bag that I used for a hunting trip or to go and run drills or anything. I never take that stuff on a flight because I have all kinds of, I mean, I have like mags. I have, I mean, you have sometimes rounds get loose.

You got a few rounds in there if you, you know, have a box in there, whatever. It happens from time to time, and I never want to run that risk. Oh my gosh, I have, you know, I just, because I don't want that, I don't want to deal with the hassle because they don't have the same laws that we do, right? These other countries don't have that clearly.

So I think that's that's, you know, it's is it a A crazy mistake? No, but it's a mistake. You just never do that. This is a government Issue and that our government is going to have to get involved in.

So, hopefully. Their representatives, their senator can get involved in this and maybe talk to their government because we have a relationship with Turks and Caicos. talk to their government. And figure this out because I mean, clearly it was an accident. And I think that they got bigger problems to worry about in Turks and Caicos with all of the illegal Haitian immigrants that are coming in that are killing their indigenous residents with illegally possessed firearms in drug deals and all of that.

It's like clearly you got a lot more to worry about than this dude who brought in four rounds. But again, it's their government. I mean, that's one of the things you you gotta think about. Um I wouldn't go there and stay anywhere that did not have security. And I've been going to Turks and Caicos for years.

I would not go and stay anywhere that did not have security in Turks and K. I would not just like get a you know do an Airbnb. I would not do that there. I would not do just like rent a house that had no security. I would not do that because their crime has exploded because of the illegal the illegal Haitian immigrants coming in.

And that's, I mean, that's what I heard non-stop.

Well, I've been watching their crime rate. You know, I always. look into wherever we go. But also, I can't tell you the number of people, because we know people there having gone there for so many years. You know, you get to know people who were born and raised there.

And that's all we heard from everybody. Was it's getting bad, it's getting bad, it's getting bad. Like, there was not a single person that we talked to that did not have someone that they knew or in their family who wasn't victimized. by an illegal immigrant from Haiti. That's how bad it is.

And they said that It's very rare anymore when tourists come in, especially if they haven't come in years before. They don't really meet a lot of like people who are indigenously from TCI, from Turks and Caicos Islands. It's all like they all meet Haitians. And they said, like, you know, only really only a small number of them have actually come here legally. It's crazy.

So I think, you know, this guy, 12 years in prison for four, was it four rounds? That's something that our government's going to have to deal with. I mean, clearly. I understand that they're, I don't know if they're trying to make an example out of this guy. If you're going to make an example out of somebody, why don't you make an example out of the illegal immigrants from Haiti that killed three people just two months ago in a drug deal gone wrong?

Why don't you make an example out of those guys? I mean, because one of them was taken into custody, make an example out of him because clearly they smuggled in all kinds of ammunition. They smuggled in guns, everything else. And they're out there raining hell on, you know, peaceful people who just want to work and they have their industry's tourism and they just want to make a living for themselves and their families. Maybe make an example out of those illegal immigrants that are coming in from Haiti instead of this dude who had four rounds.

Again, that's something that the government's going to have to get involved in. This is not too this is not because I had people reach out to me and ask, oh, this is the Second Amendment. It's not a Second Amendment issue. Dexter Taylor is a Second Amendment issue. This is not.

So there's a difference there.

So I hope that that can be you know, that problem can be res I hope it can be resolved because 12 years in prison, that's crazy for four rounds like that. Their laws are pretty their laws are strict when they choose to enforce them. But you know, this is one of the one of the things that you got to realize when you're traveling internationally That this is, you know, you got to be aware of the laws of that country and you, you know, never take your range bag, never take your hunting bag and use it as your travel bag when you're going overseas. Just by, just to make it easy on yourself, bags, you don't have to get an expensive duffel bag or a suitcase. You just, if you can go to TCI, you can get another bag.

You don't, do not take your hunting bag. Just don't do it because you never are, you're never sure as to whether or not maybe you got a loose round, maybe you got an empty extra mag in there. Because a lot of the range bags have all these different pockets and everything else. I mean, my gosh, you'll find mine are loaded with empty mags, full mags, boxes of ammo, all kinds of stuff.

So, yeah, you and you never know if you've cleared it all out. And you just got to be careful with this stuff, right?

So I, you know, I feel bad for the family because I don't, they didn't do this on purpose.

So hopefully someone And their government can intervene, someone in our government, their elected officials can intervene and get involved in this. Uh so in addition to this I was looking at some of the other stories where these college protests have been expanding.

So Harvard now, they've been They've taken over. I guess the quad at Harvard, that's something that took place like yesterday evening. And again, All the same tense? Just saying. And I saw some of the Ceasefire Now hoodies just saying it's very interesting that they have all the same merch and all the same resources, and you know, that's uh that's a bummer.

That they, you know, it's just. They all happen to show up wearing the same thing. That's so inconvenient, isn't it? I mean, I guess except when you're protesting, it's not. It's not inconvenient.

Coincidence. Yeah, it's not a coincidence. Or maybe, I don't know. That's just crazy. This is crazy.

I hope all of these people who are disrupting these conversations. these colleges First off. They created their own situation. They made their bed, now they got to lie in it. But I also feel bad for the people dumb enough to pay that much to go to these universities now.

What if this was like your last year? A lot of them, they're having to cancel or postpone their commencement ceremonies. Because of this stuff. W isn't Harvard like s over seventy thousand a year, something like that? Jeez.

Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. Just in relation to what's been going on in the Congress recently, Republicans were sent there. And the number one issue that Our voters wanted them to address is the southern border and the massive influx of foreigners by the millions coming into this country. And we don't know who these people are. And they basically just surrendered on the border.

They now have no leverage to do anything on the border. They had an opportunity to insist that Biden accept the border if he wanted all the foreign aid, and they decided to capitulate. And so he got everything he wants, and Republican voters did not get anything.

Well, that's true. I mean, DeSantis is absolutely right with that. I mean, we didn't get anything. Didn't There was nothing we didn't get. There's nothing good that we got out of this.

Nothing. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. And uh of course The I had some of this. I was looking at, forgive me, I was pulling up.

I was looking at the prep email that I sent out to everybody this morning. If you're a subscriber over at chapter and verse, you got that. Because that was, I mean, I. I don't know. They got to get it together.

And Johnson demanding that Massey remove this video. Of these lawmakers waving these Ukrainian flags. They were trying to say, oh, they're going to have to find him for this, $500 a day. Or five or five was it, five hundred dollars a day or a week? I think it's a day.

Yeah. If he doesn't remove it. And that's I mean, then you shouldn't. That's not a good look. For Hass Republicans to do this, it's not a good look.

So they're not going to fine Democrats for waving the flags. They're going to find Massey. Unless he removes That's his video of Democrats waving the flags. There is an update to that story. What is the update?

And Speaker Johnson put it on his Speaker Johnson X account. That after talking to the sergeant of arms, they've removed the idea of finding. Thomas Massey. And I don't think it's. It shouldn't have even been out there in the first place.

Exactly. I don't think it's because they just were like, oh, we looked at this further and we just decided, no. They got a bunch of backlash, and that's why they reversed. Yeah, they did. And they should.

They should get a ton of backlash. They should get a ton of backlash for this. And all the people that decided to do all of this speaker musical chairs at the worst possible time should also get backlash. I mean, that's good grief. Uh It's interesting too because And Massey had noted this.

Johnson is using the excuse that, you know, with such a close majority, You can't get everything that you want. with this legislation Conservative legislation in the House. But the problem was that. Johnson was the determining vote. and the uh FISA surveillance bill.

Yeah, you you sure as hell can't when you got the speaker. Of the House, who's a Republican voting against Republicans and being the deciding vote on the surveillance bill. Yeah, that's for sure. But yeah, go ahead and think that you'll get somebody more conservative right now. I don't like Johnson to speaker.

But literally, you will get Hakeem Jeffries next. That's what will happen.

So not the time to not the time to be doing this stuff at all. I, it's, you know, it's unfortunate, but that's what we're left with. That's why, you know, these down-ticket races are so incredibly important, but unfortunately. I don't know if the RNC is taking it seriously or not. I don't even know if a lot of these states individually are taking it seriously or not.

We're going to talk about some of that.

Next or tomorrow, we're going to get into some of the 2024 stuff tomorrow and some of the battleground. I mean, it's a statistical dead heat in some of these battleground states, and it shouldn't be because Biden is so damn bad. Stop getting excited over, oh wow, it's a statistical dead heat. Look how well Trump is doing in these battleground states. He's tied with Biden.

With Biden being as bad as he is, it's insane that Trump should even be tied with him.

So, that's why you need to be very, very concerned because they haven't even started spending their quarter of a billion-dollar war chest yet. And that's what I'm worried about. They haven't even started.

So that's That's where my concern comes in. I've been warning people. All right, today and stupidity came. Boy, did I have a smorgasbord to choose from today? The stupidity buffet was open.

So, this is NYU. We have a couple of protesters here that ultimately just don't know what they're protesting, actually, what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest? I think the goal is for. Showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop. I honestly don't know.

Okay. Is there something that NYU is doing? I really don't know. I'm pretty sure they're. Do you know what NYU is doing about what?

About Israel. Why are we protesting here? You wish I was more educated. I'm not either. We do too.

We wish you were more educated, too. You're from Columbia. Yeah, because you probably wouldn't be out there in the streets if you were. Lord. If you really knew what you were doing.

Just asinine. Just so crazy. Oh, my gosh. All right, folks, that does it for today. Make sure you sign up for the substack chapter and verse.

Lots of good stuff up there that goes out regularly. And. Find us YouTube, Facebook, like, and subscribe. Have a great night. I'll be back behind the mic with you tomorrow, unless I have to go in for federal jury duty.

So you'll know later on.
