Friday May 3 - Full Show

I just want to say. And I said it before, there is somebody behind this movement. There is some organization behind this movement. The The level of Organization that we're seeing in both of these campments here and at Columbia. Leaflets on how to protest.

Leaflets on how to commit civil disobedience. Leaflets on what to do when you get arrested. Leaflets are not. What to say to the police when they act you? There is somebody funding this, there is somebody radicalizing our students, and our Deputy Commissioner of Counterterrorism and Intelligence will find out who it is.

And we're going to be asking them some questions when we do.

Well, the call's coming from inside the house, dude. because it's it's they're they're being they're being radicalized on college campuses. And I talked about this yesterday. I think it's really dangerous. for conservatives To lean into this theory that, oh, it's all outside forces.

It's not. Maybe in some cases you have, absolutely, you know, professional agitators that are brought in because it is the left after all. But by and large, this is not. This, you know, outside astroturf group. You can't have it both ways.

You can't say that. You know, these college campuses are cesspoles of Marxist indoctrination, while also simultaneously. arguing that You know, it's they're all brought in from the outside. You can't, it can't go both ways. And as I've said, You know, with this This is, they've been radicalized for so long on the inside and with these college campuses too.

So it's not, I think conservatives just have to be super careful with this. Because it's not uh I think when you when you brush it off And you act as though it's all coming from. The outside, and that this wouldn't be happening if it were not for these outside actors, then you're kind of excusing.

Well, you're not kind of, you are excusing what's going on.

So, welcome to the show. Uh, Dana Lash with you. at the top of this first hour here on Friday. And it's a weird rainy. Migraine fighting day in Texas.

It's like sunny now, but it just was pouring.

So I don't get it. I don't know what's happening in Texas with your weather. But anyway, so.

Now it's a nice sunny day.

Now it's a nice sunny day in Texas. But in New York, though, and elsewhere, it's still a crazy protest because there's still protesting in college campuses all over the country. It's one of the things we're going to be talking about.

So, again, welcome. You can listen coast to coast. You can also. streamed the radio program, the simulcast of the radio program as well.

So who you heard, that was the Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry of the New York Police Department. And like I said, I just still I mean, Kane, I don't think I'm I feel like I'm being com I don't think that that's um an unreasonable position. to because i i don't you don't you think though i mean how long have we talked about this how long Have you seen all these stories, all this same stuff? It's not just a bunch of outside agitators. I mean, these are.

Yeah, no, there are some, and I think that's what he was talking about.

Now, it was a four-minute sort of press conference that he was part of. And in that press conference, they did mention that, you know, majority of them are students, but we have found these leaflets. We've found these things, these directions on how civil disobedience should go, how you skirt the law, how, you know, you can cause damage and not get caught, that sort of stuff. And that's what he was alluding to. I think a lot of those people are from Chicago.

You know, Chicago's like a commie hot spot. I mean, that was the NYPD deputy commissioner, Kaz Dotry. Oh, they go everywhere. Yeah, and so that's why we know it's so organized. Because in all these major cities, you're seeing all this pop up.

I do think that there are some instances where you have. um these professional agitators that see this stuff popping up on college campuses and they race over Because they want to try to exploit it. I do think that that happens. I do think that happens as well. But I also think that this is a symptom of what has been building, what we've been talking about on these college campuses for.

I don't know how many years now. I mean, it has been a thing. We've talked about it for. for years. I mean, I have story after story.

I went back, so this morning what I was doing, I was looking back at all of my. All my stories that I've saved. that get into uh progra based you know essentially treating colleges like a like a a Sweatshop to pump out little revolutionaries. And I have so many stories say that goes back. Gosh, I've been writing about this for years and it's It's like f it's like coming full circle.

So now it's almost turning on them. which is they had in, um in Texas This was at U T.

So this is where Most of the people who were arrested. were students. There were a group who were not students. In fact, there were a group It was the minority. They weren't.

by any means the majority of arrests. But the people who were arrested were students, and then there were some who were arrested from the outside that were these outside agitators. And they said that the age range. from the outsiders was early thirties to a guy who's 59. and they weren't enrolled.

But they said that they apparently came in.

So like one guy is you know a a progressive agitator. And he has a YouTube channel where he constantly puts himself in conflict with police. Like, he literally will go out of his way to do it, apparently. And he's attended all these Gaza rallies, you know, across the country. And that's what he does.

He goes, you have these people who go to these different races. Events they travel. I remember in St. Louis when we were still just regional. This was back in 2011, 2010, 2011, when the Occupy stuff was getting going.

There were a group of. These agitators from Chicago, and they were older, even then, at the time they were older. And they were these agitators from Chicago. And they went out and they would go and they would quote unquote train these other protesters in how to. maximize exposure, exploit it, stage these like fake confrontations with law enforcement, et cetera, et cetera.

And it's always the same people. They're all connected. It's like that Bill Ayers group. Out of Chicago, the Weatherman Group out of Chicago. It's all the same people.

They're still there year after year. They have tenureship at the university. They're all there still doing the same thing. But they looked in. This Daily Mail had a piece where they were looking at, well, it was cribbed from somebody else, they didn't cite them, but they had a piece where they were looking at the individuals, specifically at the UT protest, and how.

The ones who were not students, they're like professional agitators, and they were the ones who were distributing the handbills and all this other stuff. And they're all active on social media. It's one of the reasons why it was so easy to identify them and apprehend them. And another activist works for Move M-O-V-E Texas, which is a progressive organization that tries to register everybody, regardless of whether or not they're legal to vote. All of this.

And so. They um They also found weapons that were strategically placed around the campus after the big protest. They found guns, rocks, bricks, steel enforced wood planks, mallets, and chains that had been strategically placed around UT's campus. And the The question is to how many of the protesters that were doing this stuff were here conditionally by way of just you're here because you're a student. I don't know.

There's a lot of, there's. There's absolute opp there's always opportunity, and you're always going to live with that. There's always opportunity for outside forces to exploit any kind of division and people who are stupid enough within the United States to allow themselves to be exploited by outside forces for the purpose of division. That hasn't changed. That hasn't changed since the Occupy days and before then.

So that's that's still the there's a victims group. This is from Red State, October 7th. Victims are suing the group behind, one of the groups behind organizing some of the campus protests, alleging that they're a propaganda arm of Hamas. There are nine people. They are either themselves survivors or they have an immediate relative who were massacred in Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7th.

They filed a lawsuit against the Nationals, students. for Justice in Palestine groups, SJP, and their parent organization, and they've been apparently the Students for Justice in Palestine, Palestine, they've been active in helping to organize these demonstrations at these college campuses. And so the complaint. Is trying to go through the Anti-Terror Act and the Alien Tort Statute. and seek damages.

And that's kind of interesting. I don't know how Successful, that's going to be. I mean, obviously, they're going to have to. They're alleging that they're using propaganda to intimidate, convince, and recruit uninformed, misguided, and impressionable college students to serve as foot soldiers for Hamas on campus and beyond.

Now, that gets to be a very interesting argument. And we talked a little bit yesterday, and we're going to talk about it some more. That really stupid bill that was passed in the House that's actually an anti-free speech bill. It doesn't really have, if you're going to focus on anti-Semitism, you've got to realize that this. The bill that was passed and Mike Lawler brought it forward really is an abridgment of speech.

And we talked about that at length, like I said. Going through this Anti-Terrorism Act and Alien Towart Statute, you're still getting into a free speech issue with this because if you can prove damages, that's one thing. But that's going to be something that you're going to have to bring forward in your argument.

So we'll see how that goes. But that's what they have filed suit. I'm happy just to see some of these people caught up in some lawfare, I'm not going to lie. They were clearing out the Portland State University, and it was just an absolute, as you can imagine, when they were clearing out UCLA, when they've cleared out these other universities, they said that it's been absolutely disgusting when they go in. They said that the activists had spread soap on the floors and buildings because they wanted police who came in to slip and fall.

They had to break down all of the rat's nest-looking barricades that these people had put up. They ripped out the fire alarm system. They did a lot of stuff. They spread paint everywhere. They graffitied everything.

The building is not even safe to occupy because there's no alarm system that's been removed. The fire system has been removed. They said that they have found all kinds of weapons in the building that was presumably to be used against police. They destroyed the library. They, I mean, destroyed the floor.

There's so much damage. They actually apparently stole rare archival material, including a Dark Horse comic collection that was in the library. Of course, nobody knows the cost on that yet.

So there's going to be, this is not, that's not a free speech issue. These are just people being jackwagons and taking advantage of it. And so I think that that's predominantly the majority of this because half of these people don't even know what they're standing there for.

So coming up. We also have some of the latest with regards to economic policy. The capital gains tax rates are going to wallop a handful of states, particularly. We're going to discuss which states those are. And then also some culture.

Because now there is and this is A bizarre rise of cosmetic clinics offering grotesque cosmetic surgeries to craft quote-unquote non-binary people. Male and female copulatory organs of the gender that they want to identify as. Like people that they're chart they're making they're making fat bank on this. That's I don't know. I just can't even.

After last week's poor GDP numbers, it's gonna be much harder for businesses to grow.

We don't need economists to lie for us on T V. We see stagflation on the ground. Check out the Watch Dog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So, Apple has announced the largest ever $110 billion share buyback. This from CNBC is iPhone sales have dropped by 10%. Their fiscal second quarter earnings were just a little slightly higher than Wall Street expectations reported, but overall revenue is down 4%. iPhone sales are falling by 10%. Is it just because people aren't buying the latest iPhone anymore?

Like, what's the result? Yeah, I mean it's inflation and all of that too, but that's always been like, I feel like one of the last thing that's things that's been hit, you know what I mean? Additionally, the border agent on horseback who was falsely accused of whipping migrants in Texas has been awarded for his service. He ought to be. He really should be.

This Border Patrol agent, you guys remember all of that when they said that, oh, people were whipping. The agents, or the agents were whipping the people trying to cross with whips, they had whips and they were actually horses' reins.

So the agent was recognized. He received an award for his intelligence work on human smuggling cases. Good for him. He ought to. In fact, they all ought to receive a presidential apology.

Brittany Spears got into a fight with her boyfriend at Chateau Marmont. The ambulance was called. She walked out in her underwear and a blanket. She apparently is now home and safe. All the people who were like free Brittany, now do you see why she needed a conservatorship?

They said she's in fear of going broke. And she apparently is, you know, she doesn't look well. And this study, which is trash. It says if you like loud cars, you might be a psychopath.

Now, this is what gets me. I think this is a sexist study because they say that it's all about men. Men who like noisy cars are more likely to be psychopaths. And they get a kick out of watching people get startled. What about people who do stupid surveys like this and leave out women who I love loud cars?

I have a loud car. I have a super loud car. It is a loud car that goes. It is one of those. It puts hair on your chest, even if you're a woman when you drive it.

And I don't know why women were left out of this. That makes me mad, right? No. No, I wax it. I don't, but you know what I mean.

But they said that researchers wanted to understand, now who does this? Who does this? They wanted to understand whether or not there was a link between loud automobiles and the dark personality traits. They said that there's Machiavellian controlled manipulation. Oh, shut up.

You people are so stupid. They looked at 529 participants and they're like, yeah, men like. The louder cars. And I think that the researchers who did this are a bunch of giant pansies who all pee sitting down. All of them.

men included.

So, this is interesting. This is kind of a retread of the Ghost Army. You guys remember we talked about that before World War II. It was. A psyop that the US Army did on Germany, and they actually had employed a lot of people from Hollywood in order to fake out the Nazis so that Patton could cross and get into Germany.

But now they've released, the US Army has released a mysterious Ghost in the Machine recruitment video. It's basically Ghost Army 2.0. It's information psychological warfare. And so they're trying to apparently recruit people for that. And the people who have no idea about the Ghost Army are acting like this is a brand new thing.

This is called Ghost in the Machine 2. And they posted this weird video online using the actual Ghost Army logo back from back in the day. And they said that the Army Special Operations Command and Special Forces recruiters hope that it'll inspire new recruits to come into an often unseen and little-known job. You know what? You're not going to have any new recruits so long as you have commanding officers who are dudes who tuck and wear skirts and wear lipstick and make you call them by fake, unscientific pronouns.

You're not going to get anybody who's going to be who's going to sign up as long as you keep using the military as a social experiment instead of a fighting force. We have more on the way. Stick with us. It's bottom of the hour this first hour on Friday.

So set immigration politics aside for a moment. New diseases are entering through U.S. borders and infections. The University of Nebraska's Med Center has been tracking it. USA Today has written about it.

All kinds of infections, diseases. Plus, you remember the medication shortages during COVID and remember not being able to see a doctor and long lines at the ER.

So my advice is to prepare for the next disease or infection. Get out in front of it. Order a medical emergency kit from the wellness company.

Now, it's not a first aid kit, it's like having an urgent care in your house with essential prescriptions. And it comes with doctor-prescribed meds to treat over 39 different medical issues. And these are strong antibiotics for infections of all types, like strep throat, pneumonia, UTIs, bronchitis, so much more. Plus, there's an easy doctor's guide you can follow so you'll know exactly when and how to use it without a trip to the doctor or the hospital or the pharmacy. Every home should have at least one medical emergency kit.

Order yours online in minutes, and your kit will be rushed to your door. Get 15% off at TWC.health/slash Dana and use promo code DANA. That's promo code DANA at TWC.health slash Dana.

I think it's more than divestment as well. I think given the fact that the University of California is founded on colonialism. It's inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an addressment of US imperialism and its ties to the UC system and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad. Not only abroad, but also here locally.

We see this with the brutality, the police brutality that black and brown students face here at UCLA: Arab students, Muslim students, Palestinian students. And I myself have personally been um like face that those violences that the UC has perpetuated and continues to perpetuate. It's not just a means of divestment, it's a divestment from Zionism. Oh my gosh. It's Friday.

We all have headaches 'cause Texas weather. We ain't no mood for that. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lance with you, bottom of this third hour. I can't, you know, just flunk them all, send their asses home.

Flunk every one of 'em. If I was a teacher, every one of you, every one of my students, I'd flunk. Because I can. I'd be mean. I'd flunk all of you.

And you'd you'd have to go home and you'd have to pay again to retake the class. Ma ah ah Love it, love it, love it, love it. And so This is I'm so done with these trash babies. They are making me want to actually support abortion just for them. Right.

You think I'm joking? I'm just How, when do they go home? When are their classes done? Send them home. I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of seeing their stink on T V. Send them home. Do you think any of them are serious academics? No. Of course not.

Like, uh, they use these words that are. buzzwords that that people who are actually stupid Hijack. and then repeat like parrots because they think it makes them sound intellectual. We're not in there at the end today, that's r shut up. No, you probably got, you probably have one of those taxpayer-funded student loans.

No, we're not we're not doing any of that. I'm Just remember when colleges were about education? They're not anymore. That's why you should go to Hillsdale. They're not anymore.

I I it's a bunch of whiny babies who have been coddled. And they all go and they. They make the idea of a college degree any more look like a joke. They make it look like a joke. I don't know how they think that this is like it makes them look like good candidates for jobs either, although maybe some, maybe they can go and get a job with Sweet Baby Inc.

Maybe they can do that.

So again, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. I guess some of the colleges are ending their classes. There's been a ton of commencement ceremonies that have been canceled. A lot of the students, I think, are going home.

So you're going to hear more and more stories about the mess that everybody has to clean up, that they leave for the proles, the poor to go and clean up. They just leave it for all of them. In the meantime... There's a few other things I'm going to want to make sure that we touch on. The.

We have some culture issues that we're going to get into. I don't know if you heard of this. I'll pull this story up for you. The administration Per CNBC via the White House has said that. They are going to make sure that gas prices remain affordable the summer season.

That's sort of Biden advisor. uh told CNBC Now here's the question that I have. Back in last year, and then the year before that. Didn't The administration argues that they don't control gas prices because I have a million articles. where they said that they don't control Gas prices.

And that's it. They don't control gas prices. Uh I'm I'm I'm curious. How are they going to make sure that gas prices remain affordably low? this summer when They're And I I I mean, we're not even doing anything here at home.

And they said they don't control gas prices. Remember, the Biden administration said that. He doesn't control the gas prices. I love how they think you're dumb enough to believe that. They think that you.

are alleging They're they're it's a it's they're moving the argument. They're alleging that you That you're arguing that Well, Joe Biden himself can determine Particularly, specifically what the gas prices are, when in fact they know that it has to do with. how many the leases for drilling, exploration, refinery, whether our quota of how much we're actually being we're able to deliver here domestically, they know all of that plays into it. All of it plays into it. But they They're they just want the talking point.

Additionally, Job growth has fallen. Bureau of Labor Statistics released some new data this morning. The U.S., the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9 percent. Economists, they thought that maybe there would be a couple hundred thousand jobs. added in April, but it they're there that's not correct.

And less productivity data is spelling definitely more trouble. They said that the low unem the that the unemployment rate Because now it's ticked out 3.9%, that's BLS. The lowered economic growth, persistently elevated inflation. is all driving into it.

Now everyone's wondering whether or not we're in a period of stagflation.

Well, we definitely have inflation and stagflation, stagnant economy. for the most part. I mean, I think it's been that way for quite some time, thanks to the administration and the policies they're in. They said U.S. business productivity growth also slowed in the first quarter to 0.3%.

Growth in manufacturing didn't really increase its static. And as you know, interest rates aren't going anywhere. Great job, great economy. We're going into a strong summer, Kane. Super strong summer.

And I'm sure that the President's going to make sure that gas remains affordable. The only way you can do it. is to empty out our strategic petroleum reserve. That's the only way he can do it. There's no way we're at 100% capacity as it pertains to.

You know, taking oil and making gasoline out of it. Correct.

So it's not like we can increase capacity.

So he's literally going to drain it. They failed to fill it when they promised to do it. When they said they were going to wait until what was it, 20 a barrel? Yep. And then it didn't happen.

That was what it jumped to 80 a barrel. And they're like, oh, we can't do it now. It's too expensive. Yeah, well, we can't do it now, guys. They sold it to China at like 80 or 85 a barrel.

So anything under that, they should be able to put it back in, but they're not doing it. Should be in political will, as you know. The only way you can do it is to drain the SPRs. It's the only thing you can do.

Now Speaking of gravel pits. Christy Noam, someone needs to tell her to stop talking about the puppy gravel pit story. This woman will not stop. Talking about it. She will not quit.

She did, I don't know what, she has yet another television interview that she did about this. She will not stop tweeting about it. And her story's changing. Like she's changing her story now. She's saying that it was a working breed dog, even though The AKC says that wired-haired pointers are considered puppies until they reach age two.

This dog was not two years old. And that's according to Noam's own story. She's changing it now. She's trying to move the goalpost, and then she omitted the fact that she wrote in the book how much she hated the dog. She truly hated the dog.

I think that, again, staffers who tell you. Yeah. Go ahead. Put in your vice presidential audition book. That bit.

about when you took your puppy to the gravel pit and shot it. Go ahead, put it in there as a good flex. And then... And then have it as an excerpt. that you run in one of the biggest newspapers in the world.

And then do non-stop interviews about it. and tweet incessantly about it. I think that people who advise you to do those things if you're an elected official. or you're a candidate, perhaps don't have your best interests. in mind.

I'm just going to venture a guess here. And now, that does not mean I'm suggesting that you take those reporters to the gravel pit or those staffers to the gravel pit. I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm just saying that maybe if you're being told to do that. They don't have your best interests in mind.

And if you're listening to them, maybe you don't have your best interests in mind either. There's like, have you seen The Tale of Two Books?

So you have Tulsi Gabbard, who's going to be on the program coming up. Not today, but she's gonna be on the program soon. She came out with a book that I also think is a VP audition book. And then you have Christy Noam who came out with a VP audition book. One of these one of these officials, one of these politicians.

did not put in a story. Making themselves look insane. By not really explaining or justifying, I mean, if the dog was dangerous and bad, then you need to do a better job at making that case in the book. And she didn't do that. I mean, she literally, by her own hand, the way she wrote it was she took a dog that was just not trained very well and was aggressive and, you know, took it in a gravel pit and shot it because she wouldn't train it.

That's what it sounds like. But people who get mad at everybody in the commentariat for talking about it. We're only talking about it still because she will not shut up about it. I only mentioned it the first day that it happened. And then today.

She has been for the past week non-stop talking about it. I don't know if her people are telling her to double down on it or stand your ground. I don't know what they're telling her. It is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Just stop it.

Just stop talking about the damn story. It was bad enough that you put it in the book because you thought it was a flex. It was bad enough that you allowed the Guardian to excerpt it and to hype your book. And it's bad enough that you keep doubling down on it. Just stop talking about the damn dog story.

What in the hell is the matter with you? Who in the world does this stuff? Golly I keep seeing tweets about it. I keep seeing interviews about it. Like, who's telling her to do this?

At some point, like you want to preserve your career, right? Like you would just think that that Instinct of self-preservation would kick in at some point. It has not with her. Yeah. I don't know.

Now Another note, quick note too, as we're rolling. You know, John Fetterman agreed with Ron DeSantis about lab-grown meat. I wrote if you get the prep email. That I don't agree with Ron DeSantis, Sombani Labro meat. And not for the noble purpose of limited government either.

I don't give a rat's backside about that with this issue. I want the people that I don't like to eat bad things for them. Because it takes care of a problem without me having to get involved and exert any energy over it, right? Yeah. Does that sound mean?

I'm being honest. It's what the government's been doing to us for decades. I'm literally not even joking. I just let the people who want, if you want to eat lab-grown meat, yom-nom, nom, get it to it. Go and eat that lab-grown meat.

Take care of a problem for us. I'm alright with that. But John Fetterman was, and I get it, he's like an AG, whatever dude. He's like, oh, I actually. But the way he said it, it's like, don't make me revoke your hoodie pass, yo.

Don't make me do it. He came out and he tweeted. That it pains him deeply to agree with Crash and Burn Ron, but I co-sign this. Do not even. Don't even.

I'm not going to say that you look like groove. From the minions movies, but you do.

So just not. Let's not sit here and talk about other politicians. I gave you the hoodie pass, that's enough. I just it you know just I it makes it easier for all of us to be left alone by their dippy policies if they're if they fall victim to them.

So coming up. This is what we saw at the we saw the economy, we got the latest with Rafa. We've got GOP 2024, EVs, culture. Do I want to talk about some of these headlines that I have in here? No.

Austin City Council, they voted. It's all performative because Texas has a law about the transgender surgeries for minors. But Austin, it was just purely performative, but they've had their city council pass this affirmation thing. We're going to get into all of that and more here on the Friday edition. It's the gravel pit edition of the show.

So there's a company that I just started using called Ammo Squared, and Ammo Squared helps you stay stocked up on ammunition like automatically. It's a truly automated system. You set it. And you forget it. It's an ammo purchasing program, and you can pick whatever caliber you want.

You can set your budget, you can select your shipping, and that's it. And the cool thing is that it builds up, your ammunition builds up over time, and it's stored in this climate-controlled warehouse, and it sends it automatically when you want it, when you have it selected to send. And ammunition is a hard asset. I mean, it's something that's tangible. I think we all remember the uncertainty, like back in what, 2019, 2020, when there were certain calibers that were kind of hard to find.

And we ended up calling, we were calling some of our retail friends and saying, when do you get a shipment of this? Can we get some? Can we lay claim to some when it comes in? And in times of uncertainty and inflation, the value of all this stuff only goes up.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. I was very frustrated to see some prominent people misrepresent what's happening at UCLA and other places on their social media accounts. People like Emmanuel Acho, for example.

So to me, at the end of the day, No problem, no problem at all with disruption. Again, you don't have to tear up the whole university, but making the university uncomfortable is exactly what you're supposed to do. And I'm a parent of a college student, and I, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm okay with it. Get your grades done, but tear s up too.

What? Oh, really? That's Mark Lamont Hill. He's telling uh pro-Gazan college protesters to tear some Redacted up. Welcome back to the program.

Can I just tell you? I was asking one of my kids, who's at a Southern University. Were they will not deal with that. And I was asking him, I'm like, have you seen any of these protests happening in your campus? And he's like, LOL, no.

Not gonna happen. And if it did, he would be he'd be one of the dudes holding up the flag. And I I Find it.

So amusing that at some point and I get it, you know, college They're young adults. But I ought to tell you. even if I disagreed. with something and my Dudes were somehow, my sons were. protesting against something, even if I disliked it, and they were engaged in destruction.

and doing things that actually Made it look like it was bad advocacy and made people turn away from the issue. I think I'd be down there with a flip flop. You know, I really do. I I I do. I really I'd be down there at the flip flop and I'd be slapping some people, including my kids.

You know, one of the things that I've seen too, somebody made this point, and I just saw this because I saw this photo. This dude's in. Red, white, and blue suspenders, and he's taking a photo, and it's just like You know, all your politics in one photo.

Somebody made this point, which we've kind of touched on. The well-adjusted, attractive, normal people versus the ugliest people you've ever seen in your life, and that's true. And there's a reason why. One of the people, there's a reason that why all of these individuals that are on these college campuses are some of the ugliest, nastiest, fat ass people who look like they don't give one crap about their health. They look unhealthy, they sound like they're mentally ill in a bad way.

They just look like a hot mess. They, they are, as they are, but what the stuff that comes out of their mouth is even more ridiculous. Uh, there's a reason why it's because these people live in a fantasy, these people don't live in reality, and I feel like they try to be as weird as possible to make up for all of the other attributes that they lack, like intelligence and ability to reason and all of this other stuff. I just, I, I, it's just, it is wild to me. It is wild.

They are shooting themselves in the foot for future generations because you can't tell me that Gen Z and other alpha generation are looking at this going, Yeah, I want to be the weird lady that has her sideburns dyed blonde to make her face look bigger.

Well, look, yeah. I mean, I, you know, back in January, I endorsed him. I think it's really important that we win this election, and I reiterated that to him. You know, we're going to be active in a variety of capacities throughout the rest of the year to help, you know, not just the top of the ticket, but all around the country and particularly in Florida with some of the key issues we have to deal with. But, you know, a lot of it was just connecting about things.

I mean, look, he's a dad. He's got a kid going to college. You know, I'm a dad. I've got three young kids in the household. He's concerned about how my wife was doing.

Obviously, she had a cancer scare a couple years ago.

So it was just a good meeting and a good conversation. But he understands the importance of this election. He understands the damage that Biden is doing. And I think you would see 180-degree different policies if we're able to win in November, which is important that we do. DeSantis' class.

He is a million percent class. And by the way, I can't think of a Yeah. b better way to bomb out the left. going into the summer then You know, that meme of DeSantis and Trump and like two dudes shaking hands, like coming together. That's something that's going to make it's going to make the left really depressed.

Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour. We told you that they met on Sunday. Talking about fundraising. And DeSantis is because, you know, 2024 November, not that long away, y'all.

We're getting into it now. We're in it now. I know that the election season seemed long, but. That's just because the primary started so early, but we are in it now. And um, I just think he's pure class.

And I gotta say, I like it. You know, people get into squabbles and all of that stuff during politics. The people who are true pros and the people who are emotionally mature enough to handle it are those who don't take it personally. and remember you know who their actual allies and their friends are. and those who don't.

And the ones you don't, those are the trash people that you just discard by the wayside.

So this is class. It's like a Republican Voltron coming together. I have said this for so long, isn't it? Right? Form the the arms and legs, and I'll form the head.

And then, like, my favorite part of the Voltron is I had, gosh, I loved that show when I was a kid. And I had like the smaller Voltron, and I had the bigger Voltron, because all my cousins got me one of the cats one year. I each cousin got me a cat. And I had the whole thing.

Okay. And you remember Voltron would be up in the air and then his feet would wow, wow, and then his hands would rah, wow, because they're the cats. Right? Was it a lion roar? I never understood it, but they did.

I actually I don't care. It's just, it's Voltron. That's all you need to know. It's amazing. And oh man.

Cash. That was whenever Voltron came together, Seriously, think about it. You guys know, I still get chills. I get chills thinking about it now. Any episode?

He's getting ready to fight the boss. And, you know, because Voltron collectively all together is a heat, it's just this. And when they all come to, I mean, everybody, they all bring their specific skill sets. And they all come together to make Voltron. They're powerful in their own right, individually.

but they're unstoppable when they're all together. And they and oh man, you knew when Voltron, all the cats were coming together, somebody was getting a whooping, and you could not wait. And it's that anticipation. I get, gosh, dang, I got chills right now thinking about it. It's so inspiring.

I loved it. Oh, my word And they come together and I love, by the way, how all the bad guys stop fighting. with Voltron and the cats long enough for Voltron to form. And to monologue about it the whole time. Right.

Yeah, thank heavens. Like, you know. That that The I loved it. That was my second anime as a kid. You know what my first anime was?

What? Speed racer. That's right. But as I mean, growing up in the United States in the seventies and in the eighties, that's literally the only anime we ever had was Voltron and Speed Racer. I never just I never thought about it.

Voltron is actually anime. Yeah. Huh? I mean, it's true. Yeah.

Fascinating. Look at that. I just but that was Uh Activate interlocks. I don't even know what that is. But I remember it, right?

Dinotherms connected. What does that even? I don't know, but it means somebody's getting whooped. That's what it means. And for sales up.

What? even know but someone's gonna get their ass beat The megathrusters are a go mega thrusting to whoop you down. That's what it is. Oh my gosh. Man alive.

That's some inspiring stuff this Friday, is it not? How old are the people that don't know about Voltron? You know about Voltron, don't you, Steve? What Wait, you're in your late 20s. Stop the show.

You're in your late 20s. Stop the show. Juan is shaking his head, too. He doesn't have a clue. Like, wait, he's disappointed that Steve doesn't know, or Juan doesn't know?

Juan also doesn't know. And has never heard of Voltron. Oh, wait a minute. I know it's Friday, guys. Bear with me.

Hold up, because this has. has actually influenced me to a egregious degree, Voltron, as a child. Holy cow, we're that old Or they are just that un-American. I am shocked. I know it's anime.

Shut up. At what age did you guys watch? Like, for example, what age were you watching that show? I was in elementary school. I don't know.

So, what, eight? Seven, eighties? In the 80s. It would have been in the 80s, so I would have been like. Early teens?

Okay, I'll say seven years. I was 10 in 2005, so you put that together. I mean, still, I mean, there's reruns. If Voltron was running, Steve could be my accident, brother. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So, Voltron, because you guys don't, I can't believe we're having to. Oh my gosh. I bet everybody in the chat's dying right now.

Right. Because everybody knows. Everybody knows uh Voltron. My kids know Voltron.

Well, it's because I'm their parent. They're probably not. Your kids know Voltron, Kane. Oh, yeah, they absolutely know Voltron. Yeah.

They know they were first introduced to all the animes when they started showing me animes. Then I'm like, you want to see some OG animes? Here we go. And then you blew their minds. And then I blew their minds.

I that's my favorite. Like, yeah, I take it and raise you a Voltron. And then I'm like, what? Larry, our listener, said he was 42 in 2005 and he didn't know about Voltron. What?

Larry? We're gonna Larry and Stephen Wand are gonna have to go to Voltron school. And everyone else out there. Oh man, wasn't this this?

So, first off, You you have you have the team of Yeah. And they all shut up one. The body, the arms, the legs, and the. Yeah, they all had a cat, and then they all came together to form. Voltron and Voltron protects the universe, for credit.

Yeah, but a specific planet. And then there's the King Zarkon, and he fights, and they got, you know, all the buttons. And. Wasn't there wasn't it from Uh wasn't Fulturn from Golion? Was it?

I think so. Was it? I don't know. See, this was only being seven or eight at the time kicks in. I think that was a different thing.

I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. Anyway. But um yeah, it was and they would fight and they they had uh they they I mean it gosh, I can we we can't play the theme well we'll get totally kicked with a copyright, won't we?

Will we? I think so. If you give it to me, I can play it. If Steve plays it. Steve can play it.

Steve, I'm going to need the Voltron theme. It's Friday. Because, guys, you need to understand America. I know it's Japanese ants. Shush up.

This is what I'm talking about. Everybody coming together for the good of the country. It's the Voltron politics. Strategy. I've been talking about this for like a decade.

I've been saying this forever. People are now repeating it. It is the Voltron strategy for winning elections. Everyone brings their skill set.

Now the simulcast, they're not getting it, but we're playing it right now. How did we get here? Defender of the universe. Doesn't matter. We're here now.

Loved by good. Feared by evil.

So great. This is good audio. Yeah. Oh, it's amazing audio. This dude's voice.

I want him to leave my voicemail, Grady. His voice reminds me of Captain Crunch. I bet he is he's probably dresses like a Burt Reynolds, he sounds like it. I just want to hear them form the cat. Form the all the cats come together and form Voltron.

Here it goes. The five pilots. It's like better than Transformers. It is. I said, okay, godly, this is like way earlier than that.

We have to apologize to the TV audience. The TV people have no idea what's going on. They're like, why is she just talking? We're playing the Voltron thing that we can't play on the simulcast because we'll get our asses. Can Juan even show what Voltron looks like on this?

Yeah, we can't. Can't even show that? We'll get dinged for a copyright violation. But just get to where they're like, they form it because that's the part where all the kids, I would stand up in my living room watching this, and I'm like, yes. If you didn't do that, I literally would raise my arms and feet up.

And didn't they like create a sword out of nothing? Yeah. Yeah. The uh blazing sword. Yeah, the blazing sword.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, it was amazing. And it was shoo! Like he literally formed it out of the ether. Talk about Juan saying there's Voltron indoctrination going on right now.

Yeah, just get me to where they formed the Voltron, Steve. Just get me there. Just get me there because that's what Trump and DeSantis are doing right now. People can tell it's Friday. And yeah, they can tell it's Friday.

And also, I'm really trying to drive this point home. Because I see people who are like the, I see the, the, the, some of the hardcore. And I look, I like to see it as in the primary. You guys know that. I will literally steamroll your grandmother over to win.

I'm not even joking. If I, if they're like, Danny, you got to roll over this old lady to win in November.

Okay. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it.

Danny King. Go play it. Play it. Woo! Yes.

There it is. Dinotherms. Megathrust dress. Robert? Gosh.

Still, the TV audience is just watching you do like mime. We have no idea. It's the Voltron thing on Simulcast. We'll get sued. They're forming it right now.

It's so flipping amazing. Yeah. Oh my gosh, I had every one of these. And see, now they're all coming together and he's going to narrate. Like You would in any respectable anime.

Form feet and legs. The cat's coming together. Arms in. There we go. And here comes.

It's forming right now. The head. Right. And then he's like, the cats are growling. His hands are growling.

His feet are growling. And then he does the blazing sword and oh my gosh. I want to find out who's watching this. It's amazing. Not hearing the Voltron theme?

They're not hearing the Voltron theme. And they're like, what is the matter? How do we feel about these last few months? She's on drugs. She's on drugs.

Do you know that because we can't play certain things on the television simulcast, people watch it and they're like, is she high? I'm not even kidding. Like, that happens. Oh, man. Yeah, Voltron was the best.

Oh yeah, there was the Car Voltron. I know, I know, I know, it was a Car Voltron as well. But man, I'm telling you, Voltron was the be-all end-all. If you had to pick between JoJo and Voltron, Kane. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which is fabulous.

As soon as you get over the. In the first episode, oh gosh, the dudes, cars, Oh, yeah, yeah. My thing, the difference between the two is that there's like a million episodes of JoJo. Yeah. And Iraqi's a genius.

And there's a consumable amount of episodes of Ultron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you had a pick Only one can exist. I don't know. I'd like, you know what?

I don't know as a kid when I saw it, and we were lucky enough, by the way, in St. Louis because. Not every city had Of Voltron played at their local broadcasts. It was Coppler. That allowed it for television in St.

Louis.

So, there were a lot of cities that probably didn't get Voltron like we did.

So, we were lucky enough to do it. But as a kid, I'm not sure if I've seen every episode, even though I tried my hardest.

So, I would probably choose Voltron. Yeah, I probably would choose. You can watch those old episodes on Peacock, that's what it says. And there's apparently a newer version of Voltron that's on Netflix. No, it sucks.

But you can watch all the old ones on Peacock. No, I am watching the newer one sucks. It's horrible. The newer one is the, is, is, no, it's trash. It's a trash baby.

I haven't seen it, so I can't call it a trash baby. I saw like one teaser and I was like, next. No, I'm willing to give all the anime a chance at some point. No, if it looks bad, then I will judge it harshly within the first 10 seconds. You got 10 seconds.

And if you can't sell it in 10 seconds, bye. Not going to happen. We did this whole segment on bulletrine and anime. People are dying across the country right now. I gotta tell you guys, who was it that we had somebody that came over to us and they're like, hey, we would like for you to do a podcast that's like not related to politics.

Basically, they wanted me to do a podcast that was about politics, but not about politics. And I was like, okay, let's do it on anime and music. And they were terrified. Like, what? No.

And that was it. We had one meeting. They're like, What kind of interest do you have? Like, I guess they thought I was going to talk about like shopping or something like that. I don't know.

All right.

So, coming up, we got Congresswoman Victoria Sparks. She's going to be joining us. She voted against funding for Ukraine. She's Ukrainian. We're going to talk to her.

She's like coming in hot.

So hopefully, it'll all happen on time.

So, we've got a lot still. We got headlines on the way as we roll this glorious segment.

So, the sub-2K with Keltech. I don't know if you've I mean, you should have you know checked this out. This uh you should have checked it out at some point, but the sub-2K from Keltech uh is an awesome 9mm carbine. I have the previous iteration of this. Uh but The new the new one, the gen three is shipping now.

And it has a lot of upgrades on it. First and foremost, you don't have to detach. Your favorite optics on it anymore just to fold it in half. Previously, you did. You would have to take your optics off and store them and all that good stuff.

You don't have to do that now. It's just this simple twist and fold the rotating patent pending foreign. You can just twist it, turn it, and it immediately folds everything, optics and all, right in half. And it also just as quickly and easily deploys it too, which is really nice. It's just great.

Like if you're going hiking, you're going out, and you want to, you know, space is a priority. The nine millimeter carbine sub 2K Gen 3 is perfect for that. Also takes Glock mags, Glock 19's Fit Flush. The mags for Glock 19, I have Glock 19, Fitz Flush. Also, they have redesigned mechanics for that trigger as well.

Lightened five-pound pull. That translates to improved accuracy. The action's updated. It's easier to rack. The internal buffer means softer recoil.

This is just a great carbine. I really like the sub 2K. I think you got to have one in your personal collection. I would recommend the Gen 3 because I'm lazy and I don't want to take my optics off. Just be honest about it.

It's Keltech made in Florida, family-owned values, family-made at their best. You got to check it out online yourself. Keltechweapons.com, the Sub 2K Gen 3, K-E-L-T-E-C weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five.

Man, I can't imagine.

So, the Ozimpic shots that people are taking.

So, now the women are reporting what they say are Ozimpic breasts, meaning they sag. I guess they have to tuck them into their socks. Plastic surgeons say that apparently they're getting an uptick to fix it. You know, there is also dieting in the gym. Because not everybody needs it for, like, not everybody has diabetes.

Not everybody has, like, where they, I get it.

Some people, it helps them with their diabetes. I've, you know, I get it. But. Mm, just saying, just saying. I've been reading all of this.

Like they're they're Golly.

So yeah, all the surgeons are making fat bank on this. An orangutan was seen treating his wound with a medicinal plant in this story from NBC. I don't think it's ever been observed. That's at least what NBC says. They said it was a world first.

After an orangutan hurt his face, a scientist observed him chewing a plant known to relieve pain and applying a paste made from the leaves to the injury. And they have a photo of it. That's fascinating.

So, I mean, that's not, I mean, don't dogs eat grass like when they feel when they need to. Regurgitate. I don't know. Maybe it's something that's interesting. Also, let's see.

There is a sex offender asked Norway's Supreme Court to declare social media access a human right. Mm-hmm. Per ABC, they do some of the weirdest stuff in Norway. This convicted sex offender is asking the Supreme Court to declare social media access a human right. He's literally, he should be put to death instead of being in court asking for like privileges and stuff.

Uh let's see, this guy in India swallowed a mobile phone during a raid of his jail cell and had to undergo surgery to take it out. He ate his phone. He swallowed. He swallowed it and they had to perform surgery to take it out. It was a smartphone.

They said it was obviously causing problems. Clearly, Victoria Sparts joins us next. Stay with us. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast. Unleash the power of knowledge at your fingertips by following Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Palestinians may be eligible for a variety of existing pathways to enter the United States, such as immigrant or non-immigrant visas. We are constantly evaluating policy proposals to further support Palestinians who are family members of American citizens and may want to join them in the United States. I don't have any potential changes to preview at this time. That's a bad idea. We talked about that yesterday, right when it broke.

I think it was like in our third hour when it came out that the administration is discussing bringing in, they're proposing this. This is something they're advocating for, these quote-unquote refugees from Gaza that the Arab League won't even accept, that Jordan won't accept, that Lebanon won't accept, that Egypt won't accept, that Khazra won't accept for good reason. If anybody knows the history of that area, and that is the State Department spokesperson Matt Miller on that. He said, oh, they might be eligible for a variety of different reasons, different pathways. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash here with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can also watch the simulcast of the program on Channel 3. 347 Direct TV on X, YouTube, Rumble, everywhere else on this issue, and many others. I think she's one of the.

the most fiery members of Congress, and we need members like this in Congress. And I think she's probably one of the most ferocious fighters that they have in the House. And of course, we're talking about Indiana's own Congresswoman, Victoria Sparts, who joins us now via Skype. And she was, she was coming in hot. She's working.

She's out there talking to her voters. I want to talk with you, though, Congresswoman. First off, so good to see you. Always good to have you. I just wanted to get your reaction to this new proposal from the Biden administration.

to bring in these refugees, that's what they're calling them, from Gaza, that for good reason, no other Arab nation will take. They want to resettle them here in the United States. That's the proposal.

Well listen, Dana, we're a country of immigrants, but we're a country also of immigrants that came to America to make our country great. We had immigration to jobs. We actually need to serve our national interests. We are a country of immigrants that were united of ideas of freedom, that were united by constitution, and we are not teaching them. That's what makes our country great.

Now we're trying to bring people here illegally, pay them benefits that benefit our country. We create immigration to welfare and on top of it, we start bringing people that countries that are actually dangerous for us. We are actually not vetted properly. We've seen what's happening when we did the evacuation from Afghanistan. We wouldn't help realize, but then brought up some people we didn't know who they were because it was completely mishandled.

And these are dangerous countries. I mean, there are terrorists there that want to destroy, kill Americans. We open borders and now create, gave, like, you know, open pretty much borders. Parole authority to this administration that abusing it is very dangerous. It's not just not in our national interest, it puts Americans in danger.

So, and what you saw was happening on these campuses. We have very violent people that try to oppress. Americans and get them into submission with anger, with oppression and DOJ and FBI is helping them, this administration helping, I think we become a tyrannical country. And they want to use this aggressive people to intimidate us. And the Americans better wake up.

I think exactly. Talking with Congresswoman Victoria Sparts from Indiana, you mentioned the college protests as well. I none of this I don't think anybody can look at this, even people on the left, and see that or think that this is in any way organic that it's not Widely planned. I mean, it's an election year. They have, you know, these Israel versus Gaza.

It's a way to kind of, I think, turn up the heat on Joe Biden. But what happens, Congresswoman? I mean, at some point, class has got to end. School's got to be out for summer. What are these rioters, these pro-Hamas protesters going to do when everybody goes home for the summer?

How are they going to get attention for themselves? That's kind of what I'm concerned about.

Well, listen, I agree with you, but I'll tell you, this is a very organized group of people and well-funded. They try to destabilize and intimidate. And you can see that some of them are not even college students, but they brainwash college students. And you can see a lot of this administration and college presidents are afraid of them.

Some have a gender, but some of them are truly afraid. You know, it was interesting. We had our former governor in Purdue University president on Fox News, you know, a few days ago, and he said some of these young people came to his office and they're like, we are not negotiating and this. And he said, you know, we have one thing in common. I'm not negotiating here too.

You know, you have to have the toughness and you need to say, you know what, this lawlessness is unacceptable. We are not anarchy. We are the country of the rule of law. You are not going to be treating other students, you know, Jewish students or Christian students or whoever it is. Let's come up to Jewish students right now.

Then that's going to be Christian students. Then next to be all of us and they want you to be afraid. They want you to be scared. And that's what they do. And in politics, the same thing.

They come to your town halls screaming at you. They all try to make you afraid. And we need to stop that because this is how tyranny happened when good people are not willing to stand up and afraid. And it's a very small minority, but very well funded and organized. And that's what they do.

That's how Marxists happen in the former Soviet Union. You know, that's how these ideas are promoted. You know, that's through violence and intimidation. That's how communism and socialism is put on people. And we see the same trends where we now have political elites that control and supported by our police state, the DOJ and FBI became, and they want us all equally poor and oppressed.

And this is something that is, I can see that and breaks my heart. I grew up under that. And we as Americans, we say enough is enough. And we need to stand up. And we need to have adults in the rooms.

And some of these people say, we're not going to be treating policemen like that. We're not going to be treating Americans. Americans like that. We're not going to be allowing anti-Semitism and oppression of Jewish people. And I'm unbelievable how much suffering they went through.

And we are not going to be intimidated by some small group of radicals. That's exactly. And it's so well funded. I know that there was a report that came out looking at all of the different groups that are kind of pulling the strings on this and that are giving money to all of these. They will send out like these professional agitators to some of these universities.

They found some at University of Texas down in Austin, UT, which didn't entirely surprise me. But it always starts on these college campuses. It's been like that in Europe. It was like that with the Cultural Revolution in China. Why, Congresswoman, do you think that they always, it always kicks off on these college campuses?

Because I think it's very easy. I think with a lot of young people have been very brainwashed and you know and then a lot of and it starts with schools It starts with education with family religious values and really fundamentals and we are not teaching so these kids are becoming easy to manipulate then you use data collection through TikTok and China can put artificial intelligence on top and quantum computers and really mess with people brains so they understand that some of these kids are frustrated some of these kids depressed with a lot of reasons what's happening right now because honestly we're not building strength in our young generations and this is a huge national security issue only 30% of our kids are even eligible to be in the military only 30% 70% of kids are not even eligible that is a national security crisis and then they're easy to get manipulated and that's what they want to use them because if you want to have tyranny and create puppets they want to do it with young kids and a lot of them unfortunately fall into that trap So, I think we need to start thinking about it. What policies are driving that? Because I think we weakened our children. Maybe sometimes with a good intent, but we made them weaker.

And they become really now a tool and puppets to a very radical group of people. Yeah, they become their foot soldiers. Talking with Representative Victoria Sparts, you mentioned, you know, growing up in Ukraine, you had a front row seat. to tyranny in action. You watched it grow.

You watched it take over. The funding that went through the House, it was interesting because I think people assumed because you were born in Ukraine that you would immediately vote and support funding for the Ukrainian government. And you've been very clear on this. You're like, you know, I have my heritage, but that's separate from how I want to see governments behave. Talk to us about this because you've been very clear about accountability for this money.

And we talked the other day about the deputy prime minister of Ukraine saying that if the United States and the EU didn't meet their obligations, then Ukraine wouldn't be able to pay pensions and benefits. And I thought, well, you're in a state of war. That should be the last thing that you're worried about is pensions and benefits.

Well listen, unfortunately, and then Ukraine actually, it was the Soviet Union when I grew up. The country doesn't exist. Actually, I was born in the Soviet Union. It doesn't exist for a reason because socialism always fell apart. And, you know, and it brings a lot of suffering.

It's when they run out of money and mob rule. And you see Ukraine young people fighting for over 30 years, try to regain freedoms, go through bloodshed, and cannot get through it.

So you have to separate people and governments. And I thought it was kind of offensive, you know, that people like the country that I left 24 years ago, and the American congresswoman, that I have to protect my children, your children, and national leaders of my country. I would be attacked that I am not questioning money going to foreign corrupt government. I mean, this is actually offensive as an American. We're a country of immigrants and with different heritages.

You know, what unites is the love and fight for our constitution and our principle and freedoms. We're countries of ideas. All of us have different heritages, and I think it's totally un-American, you know, but it's okay. You know, the left want to intimidate. That's because people like me don't fit their narrative.

They cannot say I hate immigrants. They cannot say that I hate women. You know, they cannot say that when I'm questioning Ukraine that I'm kremlin, pro-kremlin, pro-putin, even though they say that, okay? But it's a lie.

So it's become dangerous for them. And they come at you viciously at you, but it has to make you stronger because I know how much people sacrifice. I know how much Americans are suffering right now.

So I'm not going to fault for them. I don't care if they attack me. I'm going to tell the truth. And I will hold these governments accountable. We're spending money of our grandchildren.

And if money don't go to the causes, we've seen what's happening after 2 trillion spent in Afghanistan. What happened? It was embarrassing. We left weapons to terrorists. I mean, we embarrass them, you know, depending our lives.

I mean, $2 trillion. What did we achieve? I mean, we need to get smart in our foreign policy. We want to deter people like Putin or Xi in China or Iranians that really own attack. But doing slush funds and no strategy, it's not serving good for any interest and for American interests.

So, you know, it's definitely, you know, they try to use all of the media and try to attack. They're doing it for Trump all the time. Makes me feel bad at least that he exists.

So they change attacks for him and Margaret. At least they don't always write about me.

So it's a good thing. Thank God in some ways for him, what he has to go through. But you can see what they're doing. They try to take presidential candidates through judicial system. This is only in communist and totalitarian countries and the dictatorships, things like that happening.

I mean, unbelievable. But I think Americans are waking up. And I see the people start paying attention because I think this goes already to the level that, you know, I think they go overboard in a lot of the things and people see that. And I hope for that these elections, Americans will wake up. I hope so as well, talking with Congresswoman Victoria Spartan.

I think they are waking up. And I also think that they're really paying attention to every single, more so I've noticed in the past, I think maybe five to six years than previous time. They're paying attention to every single bill, every appropriations, everything that's happening in the House and Senate. And I noticed as well, you received the Fiscal Hero Award from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. That's a tough award to get.

Congratulations on that.

Well, thank you. Actually, it was kind of funny. I don't know if you can trust AI or not, but one of my colleagues was looking at top five people in the Congress that care about fiscal issue, and I came up number one, according to AI.

So I guess I'm doing enough fighting on this issue and try because I understand. You know, border security, you know, and our debt are two top national security issues because debt and inflation is going to destroy low-income people, people on fixed income, and middle class in our country. And people need to realize most of this money don't go to with the people. We create a lot of very wealthy oligopolies over there. And I think at some point we need to have to have a backbone and say enough is enough.

We're destroying the future of our children and we're actually destroying opportunities right now for all of the young people. Young people should be really, really upset right now. They should be writing not on campuses. They should be in Congress demanding this Congress to stop destroying their future. Exactly.

they should be there, you know, because we're truly, truly screwing them. I mean, right now, this is sad for me to see that a lot of we have to now we have to look and each generation of American was going to live a better future. Their children. And we are right now might be that generation that will not because we are being irresponsible. We're truly being responsible and don't care what's happening in the country.

So I hope with all of the drama, and I know that the people don't like drama, but the muscle memory and swamp is deep.

So sometimes it takes a little bit shaking and up, but people now paying attention what's happened in Congress. People even know how the speaker is elected.

So, maybe it's a good thing because people have a glimpse in what's really happening in politics. The same when during COVID with all of the bad things, a lot of parents had a glimpse to see what's happening in schools, and a lot of parents got really pissed off because it will take Americans to getting very upset and putting pressure on politicians to get something done. Absolutely. I completely agree. Congresswoman Victoria Sparks, congratulations on the fiscal award and thank you for your fight in DC and your just transparency.

We so appreciate it. Thank you so much.

So good to talk with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Of course.

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

So, um A Florida man committed a crime, according to Fox 45, and then ran to police afterwards 'cause he needed some help. This is not the way you do this. Police officer in Coconut Creek arrested an accused burglar on Monday. He asked for help after running away from one of his victims. Terry Jennings of Pompano Beach ran up to police officers asking him, asking the officer for help.

The officer was stopped at a stoplight. And uh Jennings Well, the officer quickly determined that Jennings was fleeing from a resident because the resident found him. trying to break into his home. in South Creek. And so Police searched Jennings.

They found all kinds of stuff in his pockets that he could not explain. And apparently he had also stolen things from a car that was left unlocked in the area.

So a woman came forward. She told police that she caught Jennings on one of her cameras trying to break into her car, but it was locked.

So he was arrested and booked in Broward County Jail on charges of car burglary and attempted car burglary. car burglary because he did burglarize one car. He was scared of her. Makes me wonder why was he so he ran, he felt he didn't run away. He ran to a cop and asked for help.

What was happening? I feel like there's a missing part of the story. What was happening in this situation that this man felt like he needed to get away from this woman? Maybe, you know, maybe he came across one of them crazy ladies. I don't know.

A Florida man was arrested because he was hurling chicken at his sister during an argument. He threw two pieces of chicken at his sister and threw his own backside in jail on a domestic battery charge as a result. They got into a fight, His name is Kanye Medley, 20. No relation to the other Kanye. He was taken into custody on Monday.

Clearwater police booked him on a domestic battery charge. He and his sister got into a fight at their Clearwater residence. And they started exchanging words. He grabbed a bag of chicken from her and began throwing the chicken at her. And uh it was from Church's Chicken.

Which is also down the road. You wait, first off, why you can be disrespecting the perfectly delicious chicken that way. Cause that's some good chicken. Church's chicken is good chicken. Why are you gonna be throwing Church's chicken?

Why are you wasting the chicken? That chicken didn't anything to you, so he's in jail now. He was taken to jail on battery. We have a whole other hour on the way. Stick with us.

I really, there's no introduction that really is needed here. I have a special guest, as you can see, Mark Hamill, has decided to join us on this wonderful Friday. And I am really excited to turn it over to Mr. Hamill. I'm sorry.

There we go. Okay, how many of you had Mark Hamill lead the press briefing on your bingo card hands?

Okay. Just stereotypical statements that have been said so many times over the years: that you're a bingo carton check. How do fellow kids? Gosh, I'm going to cringe to death. Can you cringe to death?

I think so. Wasn't the vax, it was the cringe. Welcome back to the program, top of the third hour. We had to see this on break, so we're sharing the burden. You owe us that much.

Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast terrestrially. You can also watch the simulcast on channel 347 Direct TV. We're on X, Rumble, all that good stuff. And uh YouTube.

He's You know what? Cain I wasn't even paying attention and Kane's over there. You know why he's there, right? Like, what do you mean, who? You know why Mark Hamill's there, right, at the White House press briefing?

God, do I sound like that, really? I feel like you know why he's there, right? What'd you tell me? Because tomorrow. Tomorrow is.

May 4th. And may the 4th be with you. Uh Yeah. Mark Hamill is overrated. He's a voice actor.

And I he was he was the worst part of Star Wars. Oh, I said it. He was the Natalie Portman of the original. Sequels. Oh, yes, he was That's actually.

You're not my dad. He's on a first-name basis, though, at the present. If I was Vader, I'd want to kill him. Yeah. Just At any point, Vader, you could have just two.

So now he's wearing, he is so high on his own farts. Like, he's getting life from the kids liking his voice acting abilities, right? Because he's an E-Joker and some other, I don't care. I don't care. And so he's he and he acts like it.

That's, I think, half of the cringe. is because he is unaware. Of How Obvious, it is that he is so high on this. And he loves himself. He is such a jackass to people online.

He is so ignorant. I will say at least Stephen King has a body of work. Granted, he can't end a story properly and he gives up three-quarters of the way through. Whatever. You know, oh, well, I'll just finish it with a big spider.

That's it, a big spider. Eh, not going to explain the deadlights. Bye, everybody. Do a whole series on it, never actually explain it. I mean, at least he's got, you know, at least he tried, right?

Whereas Mark Hamill, just he is still. He's still living. On the Star Wars, we'll play the other one. This is, oh, you, this will kill you. This is gonna.

This is on a first name basis for the president. It's gonna hurt. Go ahead. Well, you know, I called him, Mr. President.

He said, you can call me Joe. And I said, can I call you Joe B. Wonkenovi? Mo! It took a beat for the whole assembled reporters, all the reporters to go, oh, that's a fun.

They're looking around to see if other people are laughing. Everyone's doing the same thing. Looking at each other. Uh-huh. It's so awkward.

Isn't it? He's a horrible actor. What makes this even worse is that we see all of the unrest going on, obviously, all over the campuses. We just got the jobs report out today that we're just anorexically low. And this is what they're doing: they're touting out this little Hollywood.

If you can even call him that. Yeah. Vegas Larry noted that Joe doesn't even have anything on his diary today except to go to Delaware, his Delaware beach house later. And then they're bringing on Mark Hammel because tomorrow's May 4th. They should have had just, you know what?

If you're going to do it, do it right. Bring out Justin Temperlake on April 29th. Right. Guess what guys? Tomorrow it's gonna be May.

April thirtieth. Yeah. Yeah. So like just you know do it properly Do it properly. But he's, I just, that's their priorities.

I just can't get over how cringe it is. He is so, if you've never. Experienced Mark Hamill being a jerk to you on Twitter, then you have never been on Twitter or X because he's been so rude to so many people. And I that's why I'm just like, meh, I don't know. He just.

Yeah. Now in the meantime, as Kane was noting, There's all this stuff that we see on college campuses.

So now, I don't, did you see? The uh students at Princeton They're going on a hunger strike, guys. For Hamas. I mean, if they were really dedicated, they'd go full bushnell. I mean, oh, you're just going on a hunger strike?

Aaron Bushnell lit his own A Double Snakes on Fire. I guess you just don't really care. Right, you're not committed. They have a whole sign, hunger strike for that only works if we care. Which we don't.

Hunger strikes only work if the people care that you're hungry. And we don't care that you're hungry. In fact, some of you fat asses on these college campuses need the fast. You all need to go on a hunger strike. We've seen you, okay?

We've seen you in your crop tops with your, you know, flabby. Just chicken bellies hanging over your leggings. We've seen it. We've seen tit I'm just saying some of y'all need it. Steve asks, Does tofu even fill you up?

Oh my gosh. No, 'cause then they'd call it toe full. That's right, it would be tofull and it's not, it's tofu. Like... Tofu you.

Don't be a foo. Yeah. So they're g if you see these though, that they're going on the hunger strike. Yeah, we don't negotiate with terrorists. That's all right.

We're we're not it not it's not happening. And uh I don't think that's gonna last very long. Again, it only works if people care. How long do you think it'll last? The uh hunger striking, yeah.

Good God, I've seen these kids, seen the pictures of them. I'm going to say they go 24 to 36 hours, somewhere in that range. Yeah. And then they're gonna be sneaking food in everybody and eating while no one's looking. They should do the uh Hamas hostage diet.

Yeah. There you go. Do the Hamas hostage diet. See how much weight you drop. In captivity.

Just saying. I've seen more and more videos of these people mocking these protesters, and I am just l here for it. Because ridicule is a very, very powerful weapon. And I think that ultimately that's Ridicule is what is needed in this situation because I think we're past the point of having any kind of legitimate conversation, you can't have a A genuine discussion with people. who act like Hamas A isn't a terror group, B, they weren't popularly elected as the representative of Gaza, and C, that they are in any way operating in good faith, they won't release any of the hostages.

They just rejected yesterday another offer. Another ceasefire offer because they don't want to release any hostages. I actually, as sad as this is, I don't even think there's probably any hostages left at this point. I hate saying that, but I just I think you'd see more proof of life. I think they would want to keep that over people's heads, and they can't.

So. It's sad, but I I really feel it that way. And in the meantime, you got, well, may the fourth be with you. Let's bring up Mark Hamill. Spring up Mark Camel.

No. Mm-mm. Not doing it.

So I I This is This has backfired on Democrats spectacularly. Because now they're fighting with each other. And you have older Democrats fighting with younger Democrats and then the moderate Democrats fighting with the super crazy Democrats. And they are an absolute mess right now. And in the meantime, everybody on the right, I feel like, is eating popcorn and having Frat Boy Summer.

Yeah. Right. We are. We're just watching. We're watching everything go down.

We're watching it all happen.

Now, speaking of some 2024 stuff, somebody put out, and I just feel like also this is kind of a. Uh I d I keep seeing these lists. Where For instance, it says new Trump VP list is winnowing down to Governor Bergham, Senators Ruby Ovance plus Scott. They're going to appear with donors at an RNC retreat in Palm Beach this weekend. No formal meetings with Trump yet to talk about the job.

He apparently speaks to. I don't like anybody on this list, but if it has to be somebody from this list, I say go ahead and pick Tim Scott because he's not going to do anything anyway. He's from a reliable red seat. That's not going to be a concern. But meanwhile, Rubio, his seat could be competitive.

Vance, I mean, he had to fight to get, that's not a safe total.

Someone was like, oh, that's a reliable red seat. Are you high? It's not. Um I don't, and we really can't, we cannot afford to jeopardize any purple-y purple. purplish.

Senate seats. We can't. But I don't think it would be any one of them. I think that would destroy the hopes, I think, of a Tulsi Gabbard or Christy Noam, who's, by the way, in her book, Christy Noam. She apparently also put The same book where she talked about shooting her dog.

She falsely claimed that she met Kim Jong-un in her new book. That's from the New York Post. Which isn't exactly a progressive outlet. Her book is called No Going Back. You got that right.

She falsely claims that she met Kim Jong-un. Her own staff said that's not entirely accurate. And what did they do, a zoom call? No. No, no, they did not do anything like that.

Oh my gosh. So This is so bad. This is just turning into a big nightmare for her. She's tried too hard. She's got major pygmy energy.

I mean, why can't you just write a normal book, right? Just write a normal book. Like, write a normal, boring book. But she, people, they she wants to go out for the shock valley. Oh, I met Kim Jong-un, and I stared him down.

Well, that was actually Mike Pence. You remember when Mike Pence stood that? That was the toughest Mike Pence ever looked. That was his bright moment in his entire vice presidency. was when They went down, it went with Trump to the DMZ and he stood there in his bomber jacket.

And he had his arms crossed and he was staring across the DMZ. It was kind of funny, but at the same time, it was like, that's his tough moment. Just do normal stuff. You don't need to be copying anybody's stories, anybody's legacy. Just be normal.

Golly I mean, she's You know what? She should have she shouldn't have named her book No Way Back. She should have named her book Down to the Gravel Pit. Because that's where She's never coming back up. She did it to herself.

Good night. I wanted to um Couple of other things here. Did you see? I put this up talking about the type of protesters. First off, I saw this story that said one of the protesters at UCLA who got arrested.

Uh Yeah. He showed up at UCLA after they dispersed everyone and he got a trespass citation. But he was trying to get his wallet, his keys, and his Apple Watch that he says he left at the encampment. And his Apple Air tag show that they're inside a dumpster. In the plaza, but the university won't allow any access.

You mean you left all your personal belongings in your trash baby encampment, and none of the other trash babies got your stuff for you, and now it's in a dumpster? Oh my gosh, it's almost like there's consequences for stupid actions. You know what's funny to me? Is that it's clear he's engaged in a whole lot of capitalism. Based on all the items he left behind.

That's weird. I had a post out that uh last night Or perfectly real photograph. That was posted to X and they deleted it because of all the pushback. But it is, I think. You know how yesterday I was telling you how the box wine brigade, the moms to man box wine brigade, like all of the chicks that are protesting at these encampments, that's the larval stage.

The post was like OMG into FADA or something. And it had these chicks. And they were at their encampment and they took a selfie of themselves at their encampment. And they had their little kefias on and all that. And they're like, ah.

Yeah, Maydays, May Day at the encampment emojis. And I had to make fun of them because this is like actually I didn't believe that white privilege was the thing until I saw this photo. And I'm like, oh yeah, this is a totally white privilege right here. And the chick who posted it, her name is Haley and she's got two Y's in her name. Because her parents didn't think that one Y was adorable enough, so they gave her two Y's.

Hey Leigh. And they, and I can only imagine their May Day going like, OMG, me and Amber, A-M-B-Y-R, and Madison, M-A-Y-D-I-S, O-N-N, and our new cafes and our Varley hoodies and our Lillulemon leggings. And we're on our way to drink bottomless calories at brunch, like goo Palestine, boo Jews. Oh my gosh. And we totally wanted to add Joe Malone candles to our list of demands because this encampment, while like totally rustic chic, it smells like butt and feet.

And I'm worried that like my campmate in the pup tent next to me is like totally going to the bathroom in his tent. Like he's not even bothering to use the port of John's like at the little rooms with the toilets at the Taylor concert. And he's like using the bathroom in his tent. Like for instance, I dropped my Fendi Palm keychain in what I thought was a puddle of water, but it turns out it was his piss. And nothing gets the smell out, not even like the Toms of Maine soap, which I'm going to have to add like actual soap to the list of demands.

That's it. That's That's Lil' Keffy Summer, which has just been ruined by Frat Boy Summer. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. So this is in Montana. A coroner identified the guy who was shot by Billings Police because you can't wave a machete at the police.

Uh Especially when they repeatedly tell you to put down your weapon, you can't keep waving the machete at them. And that's what, and he was waving it at other people, which is why police were called in the first place.

So I feel like that's like really important for everybody who wants to find fault with cops all the time, every day. This um California superintendent was fired because he allegedly threatened students who didn't clap for his daughter or for her daughter. It was the Del Norte high school softball team. The players told the school board that the superintendent believed that they didn't clap hard enough for her daughter who was on the team. And this has happened in November.

And it said that they, the superintendent Marion Kim Phelps, threatened their graduation privileges over what she said was a perceived slight. It was apparently a perceived slight of her daughter who was on the team. And they had to address it at the school board meeting. It was a softball awards banquet, and that's when it happened. And apparently, Phelps was calling and texting some of the students, telling them that they should have applauded for her daughter.

That's crazy. Like, some come on, mom, that's crazy. And Smokey the Bear sign was stolen from Flathead National Forest because. There's no answer to why. It's just because they did.

We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline? Look no further than the Dana Show Podcast, where curiosity meets courage, by following on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. While crime rates are down nationally.

We've invested a record amount in public safety, violence, interruption. We've also done much work to make communities safer. You know what? Guess what happens if you stop reporting crimes? The crime rate goes down.

It's like magic. Maybe in post. They can just like put like sparks coming out of my fingers and going magic and make a bling when I go. Like that. What?

That's if you don't report the crimes, the crimes aren't there. Ho ho. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, bottom of this third hour. Happy Friday.

Our friend John Lott. Actually, I had a whole thing on this. Because he hears numbers that he doesn't like, and then he's like, I'm going to not sleep for a month. And I'm going to research all of these things. over at Crime Research.

This is website. But he, um, Was he had He dived into this and was looking at you know, look at these major metropolitan areas. I was saying that, yeah, it's um Not true, actually. Crime is is actually increasing. And they said you the decli it's the decline comes from in the number Of crimes that are being reported.

And not because fewer crimes are happening. He's got this piece in the Wall Street Journal. And he said that The news reports fail to take into account that the crimes are not being reported. Actually, there's a decrease in crimes being reported to police since the pandemic. Which I think is an important thing to note.

There was the that's just one other thing that the pandemic kind of ruin was this. you know, the the reporting of crime. But that's to me, that's kind of like we've seen that because you see, you know, that crime isn't going down, crime isn't decreasing. Lot notes that the U. S.

has two ways to measure crime. You have the FBI's, which is what I look at for and they just redid their website like a six months ago, and it's a lot easier to get around. It's the uniform crime reporting. Program that they have, the UCRs.

Now, I know he takes exception to how the FBI tabulates a lot of crime, and particularly where it relates to firearm usage, but They look at the, they count the number of crimes, the weapons, demo, you know, area, et cetera, every year. They're usually two years behind and when they publish there the re the the uh official number. But then we also have the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the second way that we look at it. and that is the National Crime Victimization Survey. And they ask, you know, like six several hundred thousand people a year.

Whether or not they've been victims of crimes, and he notes that these measures have diverged since 2020. Because more people, according to the Bureau of Justice statistics, are saying that they have been victims of crime. That's increased. Whereas the UCR, the Uniformed Crime Reporting Program, has noticed a decrease in reporting. He noted that in 2022, in John Lott in his Wall Street Journal piece, that 31% of police departments nationwide, including LA and New York, didn't report crime data.

to the FBI. And he says that In cities from Baltimore to Nashville, the FBI is actually undercounting crime. that these jurisdictions Reported. He says that arrest rates are also plummeting. That's the other thing too.

If victims this is what restorative justice wrought. If victims believe that there is not going to be any law and order enforced, if they. Believe that the criminal in their situation isn't going to be charged, they are going to be less likely to report the crime. They're not going to bother reporting them. Lott notes that if you According to the FBI, if you take the five years Before COVID from 2015 to 2019, and you compare them with 2022.

The percentage of violent crimes in all cities resulting in an arrest falls. fell from 44 to 35 percent. and cities with more than one million people Where violent crime disproportionately occurs, he notes that the arrest rates over the same period plunged 44 to 20 percent. But, again. The National Crime Victimization Survey shows something entirely different.

So it's a matter of who's reporting, you know, it's a matter of what's being reported. This is fascinating. And that is true. That's what restorative justice does. If people feel like nothing's going to happen, like I had this, let me find this story.

I was actually going to talk about this more next week, but I read this story. Where there was uh an individual I mean, it's like I have so many stories like this. It's a heinous crime, and someone is allowed to walk. This happens a lot in New York, particularly. And people see these big stories.

They see stories like Daniel Penny, or they see stories where. the like the lady who was beating up the kid on the bus, the autistic kid on the bus, she was just, you know, got her wrist slapped and she's allowed to walk. They see stuff like this and they think, oh gosh, this is then why report, why even report crime? Why report any crime? If it's If people are if if they're not even going to prosecute them.

You saw this really after BLM. Burn loot murder. It's just it's it's Pretty wild. I think, do I have this on the rundown for today? I think I put it on the rundown somewhere.

Maybe, perhaps my parents. Yeah, yeah. But restorative justice undermines not just justice, but it also destroys a an innocent person's Not just their ability to get justice, but they just don't report it. They won't even report anymore. They won't even tell.

the system about violent offenders. And that's sad because then those people, that just enables them to go on and violate more people and commit more crimes. They're just allowed to continue. Nothing ends up happening. It's just d it's just sad.

So yeah, they say that John Lott's piece, he says that Crime is in fact not going down. Of course it's not. Arrest rates, they're just not reporting, they're not arresting, and they're not prosecuting too. That's the other thing. If you look at prosecutions of violent crimes in a number of these cities for federal crimes, felonies, these federal, like super serious stuff, like weapons.

Possessions by repeat violent offenders. You're talking like rapists and people who are in for assault or who go in for serious crimes and they're also in possession of a firearm during that serious crime, too, in illegal possession. Prosecutions of these crimes are just, they have decreased so significantly. That's also part of it. Prosecutors aren't I mean, you can see this.

It's the Soros-funded prosecutors. This is all playing into it. We're just not going to report the crime.

So now, and we're not going to prosecute.

So it looks like that matches up, except the victims, gosh dang it, when they're surveyed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, they're telling an entirely different story. And that's the first time his lot notes. that that's ever, that we've ever seen that kind of uh disparity between those figures.

So that tells you something. Americans aren't mistaken. The media isn't doing its due diligence by the citizenry. They're not accurately telling people that, oh, crime actually isn't, and crime has increased. It's not that you're safer, it's just that no one's reporting it, which is actually making you less safer.

It's making you less safe. It's wild. That's what led, and I told you before, that's what led to Parkland ultimately. They just stopped reporting. violent crime.

even felonious activities to the police. And that's one of the reasons that that killer originally was protected. Because Robert Runcy, who is the superintendent of that school, wanted the award that he got.

So he could brag that he reduced the school to prison pipeline. You don't reduce the school to prison pipeline by not reporting crime. You don't solve the problem of crime by not or under-reporting it. You have to deal with with justice, you have to deal with deterrence and then have it you know, maybe third party entities like they're doing in Florida contract with the government, work with the government and look at the root causes of why it keeps happening. That's the way to do it.

Alright, a few other things to discuss.

So in um Austin, the Austin City Council approved a transgender protections resolution, which is nothing more than a performative vote. Because SB 14 is the bill that now you can't. subject minors. to this Weird. experimental surgery that you say is affirming their gender?

They can't, they're not allowed to do that. And so now they have this resolution in Austin that's not going to do anything, it's just performative. I still have difficulty in believing that any parent would subject their kid to this. Have you read about this stuff? The clinics.

That are, and have you read? I can't even look at the photos. Have you actually seen what they have to do in order to create? A different copulatory organ than the one with which you were born? They are on medicine for life.

and they are disfigured.

So they're Or there are these clinics. The surgery, I can't even hardly look at it for. Like the cartoon or just like a drawn graphic. Yeah, big pharma at Cane Notes is super excited. Like for a woman, in order, they call it a phalloplasty.

They cut skin and muscle off of your arm or thigh, like a huge section of it.

So your arm or your thigh is going to be you know, mutilated at that point. And then they attach. For a woman they'll sew you up. and they'll attach to the groin. above you know, while trying to preserve some of your function.

That's wild.

So it's a thing that has no feeling. It's just a, oh my gosh. And then for the what they call the penile preservation vaginoplasty. They oh gosh, I can't even They use Tissue from a very sensitive area for dudes. to craft your Lady bits.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's a Frankenstein experiment. It serves no purpose, no function. And You are disfigured and on medicine for life.

And we don't have any long-term data on any of this. And of the long-term data, there's a lot of D-transitioners out there wishing they never went through with this. And those stories are so suppressed. They are so suppressed. I was looking at some of the medication that they have to be on, even after there are several stories of detransitioners who still.

They've they've talked about all the medicine they still have to take. They're on medicine for life. Because they were pushed into this when they were impressionable kids, which is not informed consent. It is. I'm telling you, there's going to be an epidemic.

the consequences of hormonal abuse because they're trying to mainstream it to to so to a certain extent. Like for instance, I read a story. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, they each have a kid who apparently is now trans. Ben Affleck has a daughter from his marriage to Jennifer Garner, who apparently came out at her grandfather's funeral as trans, using they, them. And apparently Jennifer Lopez's daughter.

with Mark Anthony is like trans and uses those weird calls herself they them. It's Catching. It's a it's a An epidemic amongst youth. It is a virus that has spread through social. I really believe it.

And then you have these parents that I don't know. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. No. And I think other people are going to have to stand up and just, because it's either that or you're going to find yourself in a situation that's so terrifying. We always hear about people from Eastern Europe, the Jews from other parts of Eastern Europe, from Western Europe, coming over, look what happened with France, with the Nazis and so on.

And they come over and you hear these, and when I was a kid, they'd say, you don't really appreciate this country. You don't really appreciate what we know from experience. Imagine what those people went through. I'm just starting to see it. You know, as a kid, I said, Hitler, it's a nightmare that never would happen.

But now I see that it's possible. And what those people, and sometimes I run into some people who are close to my age, who are. From Eastern European countries or not. At one point in this interview, the reporter's like, you're so brave speaking out against Trump. You know, that's going to make you a target.

She actually has the audacity to say this to him. When you have students who, like the one student in the video that we saw who was wearing a Star of David necklace, a small necklace that just happened to be seen by one of these protesters when he was trying to walk into the building to go to class, and they barred him from actually accessing his classroom. They wouldn't let him go to school that he paid for. Or they circled and formed a huge circle around another student because he was wearing a yam or she yeah, he was wearing a yarmulke. Or another uh student because they saw that she had like a an Israeli flag thing that was on her backpack.

This is ridiculous. It's not brave you're rewarded. It's brave to not. Good grief. We remember all the videos of people wearing red hats that were punched in the face.

Come on, we all remember this stuff. Oh, it's so brave that you're speaking out against. And how ironic that comes the day after he was yelling at some of these other protesters about their pro-Hamas speech. I mean, he's very he's guilty of the exact same thing that he was lecturing those protesters about. And That's not bravery.

Is that bravery? That's all he does is courtesy. We get it. You don't like Trump. My gosh.

At some point, it's just annoying as all hell. Karen, come on, stop. You have to ignore everything that Biden fear-mongered about Trump before 2020, which was endless wars. you know, economy crashing, everything was going to be bad.

Well, it's literally all happened under Joe Biden. And this guy is still out there because he's got an ego to protect instead of really caring about the country. Today in Stupidity Camp.

Alright, it is KJP. She seems to make this segment quite often. It's probably just a coincidence. Did you like her? She's talking about Biden's commitment to cutting Trump's tax cuts and ending them, allowing them to expire.

Listen to this. He wants to let the tax cuts, the Trump tax cuts, expire. If that law expires, it does raise taxes on almost every American.

So, does he still support that expiring without anything else in place?

So, look, as you said, the president is going to allow, is going to, is going to let the Trump tax cut expire. And he was very clear, but he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than 10%.

Well, you can't make that claim. You can't say you're not going to raise taxes on everyone when you then end tax cuts. Yeah, that's what that means when you and the tax the taxes go up. Make sure you find us in sub stack. YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe.
