So according to the Biden campaign's communications director, Michael Tyler, he says, weapons of war have no place on the streets of America, but Trump's justices have decided the gun lobby is more important than the safety of our kids and our communities. And this statement goes on to essentially say that if Americans are looking for the candidate the Biden campaign argues that cares about the gun violence crisis in this country, there is only one person in this race, Michael Tyler, the communications director, says, that has been running on a proven record of successfully taking on the gun lobby. And there's only one candidate running on a promise to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. That's President Biden.
So of course, during the course of this administration, President Biden has been very clear on that. After repeated mass shootings that we have seen in this country, tragically time and time again, you've seen President Biden come out and say that he's proud that there was a bipartisan Effort to pass some legislation when it comes to gun violence, but that he wants to do more, and he has always put that. In the frame of wanting to ban assault weapons.
So, this is just some of the coverage of this SCOTUS case because it's SCOTUS season that came out. This morning, and I don't know when we'll get the. I know everyone's, I think everybody's waiting for the presidential immunity one. Although this one was a pretty big one, and it had to do with the bump stocks. You guys remember this bump stock battle that we've had.
It had to do with all of this because this was. The uh I mean, it was under the Trump, it was the Trump administration. that made this determination and I'm gonna kind of set up why. It went this way because there was a lot of behind the scenes stuff. That was uh that was happening and I'll dive deep into it today, and we're also going to talk about some of the stuff with G7.
We're going to get into some culture stuff because it's Alphabet Month, and as a result, every single day there's like something going on with the Alphabet Mafia, which is what I feel like they should be called from at this point forward. It's just the Alphabet Mafia. Just refer to it as that because. You know, I and it's all the trans Tifa people too. It's all trans tifa.
So we'll get into all of that and more here as we get started on this Friday.
So welcome to the radio program. This ruling, I actually am surprised that it wasn't a 9-0 ruling. If I'm being honest about it. And the reason that I'm surprised. That it wasn't A 9-0 ruling is really because of the nature of the case.
This wasn't a case That was about uh bump stocks or even Second Amendment stuff. It wasn't even about that. This was a case. That's the only thing that was about the Uh administrative state and it was about bureaucracy. And it had to do with The uh nature of Ultimately, can the ATF, which is a group of unelected bureaucrats, are they going to be able to make law in place of Congress?
And that's what really this is all about. I mean, it's about whether or not. The ATF, which is an agency, you didn't elect any of these people. None of these people ran campaigns. None of these people Tried to go after your vote.
These are people that were selected, and well, I mean, the head of the ATF is typically picked by the president, and then, of course, you know, Congress has to act. Uh and then These individuals, and this wasn't the first time that they've done this, it was the administrative state exceeding its authority.
Now, we saw something similar with this. As it pertains to the uh as it pertains to the issue of uh the rent moratorium. And the rent moratorium situation where you had another administrative state. that we're seeking to tell people that they didn't have to pay They didn't have to have to pay their rent. And it was the CDC that was getting involved in it.
This wasn't even the ATF, that was the CDC that did that. And of course, that ended up getting struck down in a different ruling, a different court. I think it was Ninth Circuit.
So there is standing to go after. the administrative state like this. And that's what this was. I'm happy about the ruling because I think it was the right thing to do.
However, it's not. A statement on the Second Amendment, and it's not a statement on rights limitation or anything to that measure. I was reading the opinion. earlier today. And I'm glad, like I said, I'm glad to see that at least.
We're This Supreme Court seems to be more uh motivated than on on Limiting the administrative state almost than anything else. But then, of course, you know, you have Kentanji Brown Jackson, you have Sonia Suromayora, you have Elena Kagan, who apparently thought it was completely okay. To act and have a group of unelected bureaucrats make law. Which I know. They it's co totally fine for them to do that.
Kentaji Brown Jackson can't even define what a woman is, so are you surprised? Yeah. And yeah, exactly. And Sunya Sura Mayor thinks that you can that however often you press the the trigger. That means that That's whether or not it's uh a a fully automatic gun or not, right?
Remember? I know you remember her. During the arguments on that, yeah, it was the six-three decisions.
So, those were the three. Clarence Thomas held, he wrote the majority. And he underscored it, that a semi-auto is equipped with bomb stocks and not a machine gun.
Now why does this matter to you? It matters to you. Uh exactly for the reason that Any other, anything that has to do with any part of your life that could be affected by the administrative state matters to you because. This is This Administrative state exceeding its authority and making law where Congress should. And as I've already told you, we've saw this already with the CDC in the rent moratorium.
We are seeing it with the pistol brace thing is going to go the same way. Because, but it's and it's going to be because of this case. It's going to be because it's an administrative agency that exceeded its authority. If Congress wants to limit bump stocks, they have to write the law to do so. You can't alter the interpretation and impact of the Second Amendment by putting out some edict or the ATF.
That's just not how you just can't do it that way.
Now, I'm going to explain coming up. Why That is because there is a reason why it was left. To the ATF to do. If you remember at the time, the Republicans in Congress were getting a ton of pressure. to do something about this.
This was in the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting, which we still don't know a lot about, which is very interesting. That there's a lot of information that was just kind of kept. I mean, there's a lot more that we know now, but there's a lot we don't know. But it was all in the wake of that. But I'm going to, here coming up, get into the reasoning and how all of that came to be, because there was a lot of pressure being put on Republicans.
They didn't want Democrats to be able to say that Republicans were doing nothing and then get the momentum to be able to pass something and get these moderate Republicans on, you know, in the House. I remember during the Parkland days, particularly after Parkland, they had, I mean, there were Republicans right and left that were caving on an assault weapons ban. That is fact. You don't know that, but I know all the discussions that were going on in D.C. They were caving, dropping like flies like Marco Rubio on that town hall stage.
Right after left, they were dropping like flies in terms of supporting not only an assault weapons ban, but they were also backing red flag laws. They were all coming together as quickly as they could to see how they could make this, how they could make this limit the after effects of this. And that was a very dangerous time for Second Amendment rights. And it was a very dangerous time. And it was from that storm, from that, you ended up getting, you know, the ATF was allowed to do things so Congress wouldn't.
Because if Congress could do it, then you'd have to fight like hell to get it undone if it was legislation.
Well, if the ATF does it with an edict, then all you would have to do is have a president undo the edict or do what we're doing now, what we're seeing, and litigate it. And so that was considered the safer route. because the the genuine th the general thought was that uh you can only fight so much and then your fight can only be as succ there's a limit to hou s how much success you can have fighting this.
So that was the that was the reasoning to the approach of it. No joke.
So We're going to talk more about that coming up. Also, a couple of other things because Biden in Italy for G7, he really bit the head off of some of these reporters over there. And I want to let's play this. This is Audio Soundbite 5. Listen to this.
He gets so mad at this reporter for asking a question that he didn't want to answer. Listen. Uh American reporter. Josh Wingrove Bloomberg. Thank you, Mr.
President. I have a question for Mr. President Zelensky shortly on the announcements. But if you don't mind, I'd like to ask you about your discussions on the situation in Gaza here at the summit. You were asked just a short time ago about it after the skydiving demonstration.
Can you give us your assessment of Hamas's response? And do you believe that they Are you trying to work towards a deal, or is this response working against a deal? And what is your message to allies, including those here at the G7, about what more, if anything, the U.S. can do to drive towards a peace agreement? Thank you.
I wish you guys would little play by the by the rules a little bit. I'm here to talk about a critical situation in Ukraine. You asked me another subject. I'll be happy to answer it in detail later. But the bottom line is that we've made an agreement.
I've laid out an approach that has been endorsed by the UN Security Council, by the G7, by the Israelis, and The the biggest hang-up so far is Hamas refusing to sign on even though they have submitted something similar. Whether it had not occurred. He's mad because I guess that's not a question that he wanted to speak to. He wanted to hear, he wanted to have a question about Ukraine. I mean, he's standing there with Zelensky.
He didn't want to talk about Gaza. He didn't want to. They had the White House Press Correspondence Association that put out a statement saying they're going to ask whatever they're going to ask, and that's all there is to it, which I thought was kind of interesting because this isn't the first time they've had to sort of slap his hand at that. But he was not happy that they asked a question that was out of, he didn't want to talk about that. He wanted to talk only about Ukraine.
He did not want to talk about Gaza. He wasn't prepped to answer any questions about that. I don't know if you read any of this. There was a detailed account. Rescue operation, the four hostages that were rescued inside of Gaza that the IDF went in to get literally a step-by-step description of how that op went off and how they were gathering information and how they were going into and the reconnaissance that they were doing.
They found out where the hostages were being kept. They surveilled the area. They were doing everything possible to limit loss of life because Hamas is right there in with all the other refugees. And some of the refugees are helping Hamas hide these hostages. I mean, they've been in regular, average, everyday houses with other families.
And so the IDF sent a team in, a spec ops team, to go in and rescue them. We're going to talk about that coming up because it's unbelievable. But even in spite of all of that, there's a new pullout. Gaza still overwhelmingly supports Hamas. Not even kidding you.
New survey. That is out. And it's not much different. It only fell 4% since the same survey was taken in March. We're going to talk about that coming up.
We're also going to get into some of the latest, the policy, Biden administration, and the right had a massive fight in France last night. Like people got locked out, cops were called. I'm not even kidding. Typical French. We're going to talk about that as well because I'm just fascinated by all of that.
Do you guys remember back in 2020 when store shelves were empty and nobody could find ammunition? That was such a bummer. Actually, it sucked out loud. Nobody liked that. It was hard to find stuff.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. The Pentagon wants to feed our troops experimental lab-grown meat to reduce the CO2 footprint. It's called BioMade.
It's a crappy public-private company that's gotten $500 million in funding from the Department of Defense. Bio-Made, a crappy public-private company that got $500 million, taxpayer dollars. I love that I work my ass off and that you do too, so we can pay this stupid company that probably wrestled somebody's jimmies in order to get some federal dollars so they can make their stupid lab-grown meat. Yeah, that apparently is not what they're going to be feeding our troops so that they can lower their CO2 footprint. Every time I hear a headline about somebody wanting to lower their CO2 footprint, I'm going to buy Styrofoam and I'm going to throw it out in the world.
Every damn time, I'm gonna take styrofoam, I'm gonna start using paper plates, plastic, everything, and I'm just gonna start throwing it out. Every time I hear it, that's what these people are gonna force me to do. Stop it. I'm gonna put my CO2 footprint up here. Yeah, that's right.
I can't even get through. We're coming back to this. I'm keeping this out here, keeping it out here. At Pentagon, Pentagon official. Pentagon official reveals a seven-minute encounter with a growing blue UFO, probably because he ate some lab-grown meat and he hallucinated.
He said it emitted enough energy to power a small city. Again, it's probably that lab-grown meat. I'm just saying. Tropical rainstorms in South Florida have led to flight delays. We said yesterday that was already, they had already, DeSantis had already declared a state of emergency.
Streets have been jammed with stalled cars. At Crocodile, Was terrorizing an Australian town.
So, if you had to pick a champion between the Australians and a crocodile, who do you got? If you put your money on the Australians, you're the winner because a remote Australian community took revenge on this thing. They ate the 12-foot beast. It was eating pets and chasing children. It was chasing their children.
They said it was a significant risk to the community.
So they killed him, cooked him up, and ate him. And I hope that they ate it by a body of water so all the other crocodiles could see. This is what happens when you mess. You get cooked and eat. That's what happens.
When you mess, you get cooked and eat. And the WNBA is on track to lose roughly $50 million this year, despite the explosion in their popularity because of Caitlin Clark.

Lots more. Stick with us.
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.

Looking for the drive-through version of the Dana Show? Check out the best highlights from every show and Dana's Absurd Truth podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show. LA City Council members Hugo Soto Martinez and Nithia Rahman were on hand today to help remove the signs. They say the no cruising and no U-Turn signs were put up in the 1990s to prevent people in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people. I was also surprised that these U-turn signs were still up.
And at first, you know, they seem a little, oh, okay, it's just a no U-turn sign. But when you learn the history of it and you realize that these were used to profile gay people, it's so important that we have these removed. The LA City Council. I don't understand that. Wait a second.
It's a U-turn sign. It's not straight. Is that what it is? It's like it doesn't mean it's not. You have to deep dive if that's actually.
What the meaning was. It's such a deep drive, nobody knows. A U-turn is definitely not straight. You'd think they'd be for that.
Well you turn means go back the other way. I mean We have these signs all over in Texas. You can, U-turn. You know, you can, U-turn everywhere. It's kind of a pain in the ass.
You can, U-turn. Like almost everywhere in Texas, you know that can means the gays can just, they can just walk all over the sidewalks. all over the streets. Apparently that's what that means. I mean, if I I feel We're at the point.
We're at the point right now in culture and in policy where I actually can and I have to double and triple check because we don't know if it's satire or real. Like this is destroyer was like no. I found a streak? I thought it was a satire funny comedy skit. But no.
What do you how do they interpret these signs to mean that the gays can't be there? at whatever time. They said that, well, the police would deliberately lure men that they suspected of being gay in order to arrest them. They didn't just arrest you for being gay, not in. you know, like I mean, they would try to get you for prostitution or something like that, or solicitation.
But why are you gay? There had to have been a crime there, right? Yeah. I That's Juan's absolute favorite sound. That's his favorite.
Sound bite ever. He cannot every time we play it, it doesn't matter. Days later, he'll laugh his head off at it. I love it. Why are you gay?
He just chuckles every single time he hears it. I I mean, it's alphabet month. Why couldn't they just put a sign up? Because it feels like. I don't know if you saw in the video where they were taking the U-turn signs.
It looked like a busy intersection that was. Maybe kinda dangerous if you did a U-turn there, you know what I mean? Why don't you just put a sign up that says this doesn't mean you gay people? Wouldn't that have solved the problems without having to take down signs? This is so dumb.
Golly or just you know Kane just put up one of them rainbow murals up on the on the street there. Because only the gays can cross there. There's an invisible. Have you ever tried crossing on a rainbow crosswalk? You can't.
Nope. You can't. It's like it knows. It knows. You can't you gotta walk around it.
There's an invisible force field there. I don't know how they figured it out. I feel like we should be weaponizing that, you know, and using it. in uh on the battlefield, but Instead, where it's only applicable to that, they keep all this stuff for themselves. You can't walk on their crosswalk because the invisible force field and lesbians are invisible.
They keep all this stuff to themselves. I mean, we could be turning this into a massive spec ops outfit, and you're not playing fair. I I don't know. I don't They have they said that one of the signs is going to be donated. To the National Gay and Lesbian Archives.
What is that? I didn't even know one of those existed. It's like the archive of Sycorax and Warhammer.
Well, this is the gay and lesbian pot. I I don't know what this means. What what do they have there at the gay and lesbian archives came? A history of how of a history of gay sex. I don't know.
What? I just I gotta Google it. We're Google. Life Radio. We're Googling it.
Why are you? Google, Google, Google. Let's go out and play. Google, Google, Google. Oh, here it is.
Oh, oh, don't Google it. Don't do it.
Well, Feel buddy.
Well The first thing that came up was Three dudes in leather bondage.
So Oh. I'm not joking. What the heck did you put in the search bar? I went to their official website, dude. Hold up, I gotta put this in Slack.
It's uh, yeah, that's their gay archives. That's what's in the gay archives. Hold up, hold up, hold up.
So, four separate times I've heard the explanation of why they don't like the no-U-turn signs, and I still don't know why they don't like the no-U-turn signs. Yeah. I don't get it. I still don't get it.
Well, it's going to this museum. The sign. Oh my gosh. I didn't even know that that museum was there. That's a.edu site.
Dude, did you go to it? I just did. You just looked at it. I didn't put it in there. Steve said it's by the founding daddies.
Oh my gosh. Stop. Oh, why is it like those? Encourage that.
So there it is. That's exactly what I thought it would be, if I'm being real. I thought it would be that. You know, so all the gay stuff goes there.
So they thought they were going to put one of those signs there. I guess you can't be naked dressed in leather straps on that street. Going the other way. You can't if there's a sign up. I just can't.
Everything is so dumb. Does.edu mean it's taxpayer funded? Uh, yeah. What? Well, 'cause isn't uh Isn't USC?
Isn't hang on. We're doing this live. Mm-hmm. Because isn't it public? Means they get something, right?
Oh yeah, yeah it is. Look at that. It's government. Oh, it's a private.
Well, it's a private institution that gets a lot of gets a lot of grants. They get a lot of they get a lot of grant money.
So yeah, some of your taxpayer money in some ways involved in this website. It took me like a whole two seconds to look up. Look at that. I'm not going to tell you guys what the website is because you definitely cannot pull it up at work. Do not pull that because it'll have dot EDU on it.
Your boss ain't gonna believe you. Hey, don't believe you.
So now what am I going to start getting in my timelines? Am I going to start getting some Dominatrix stuff? I don't know. Maybe. Because it's on this.
I'm just trying to figure out what they collect there, why they need a whole gay archive. Good God. We just have collections and flags for everything now. Cause, see, if everybody has a flag, then nobody's flag matters. Right?
That was one of my favorite lines of The Incredibles, but he didn't say flags. He said: if everyone's special, then no one is. See? Ah Ah ah ah That's what it is. But uh the no U-turn sign is But They said they wanted to curb the gaze from roaming the streets to hook up.
I think that the gays roaming the streets is like you're them worrying about the signs about that is the least of their problems. I don't even know any gay people that would walk around in California right now because they're tripping over like You know, needles and turds. I mean, that's all they're slipping on everything. That's all it is. There's a literal poop map, guys.
So come on. They're not they're not doing they're not walking around outside. They're not walking around outside. Just it's not happening. All right, so I had to share that with you because I had to read it last night.
So, certain things I'm going to take you down with me. That's just how it's going to go. Oh man!
So, yeah, that's so transphobia is solved then, right? I mean, solved? What, transphobia? Yeah. Gay phobia?
Like, who is afraid of nobody's afraid of gay people. We're just like can you not shake your wang out in the street during a parade? Literally, all were asked. But taking these signs down fixed it, whatever was wrong. What did it fix?
I know that's fine. The erection. Oh golly. It's Friday. Half of you are already like sitting either under your sprinkler in your backyard, pull side, or you're driving home from work.
The rest of you are slogging through it, and we're helping you.
So just roll with it. I'm just making sure it fixed it, whatever it was. If that's all it takes to fix things, like what other signs can I take down? Like if I or to take down Gunfrey's own signs. Right.
Like, what does that fix? What does that say? That solves something. Yeah, sure does. I'm told.
If I paint rainbows, we should just go off and paint. We need a straight flag. Right. I'd just be curious of what that would look like. What colors are left?
Everybody's been claiming them.
So they can take down our sides. We can't. Even drive? On theirs that are on the street. They can take down signs, but God help you if the tires of your car take Touch one of the blessed.
Rainbow murals. that lo has been painted upon the asphalt. If you do that, you'll die. This is what equality looks like? Is that what I'm supposed to do?
Yeah, it's equality. When some people are specialer than you, that's equality. Oh. Did you guys know that? Yeah.
Mm-hmm. That's equality. Do, do, do, do. Shooting star the more you know. Juan, I'm sure you can whip up something and post at it where it's like a stars.
If I do that, it wipes stars in a rainbow across the screen, right? Just work your magic over there. Just scroll another arm.
Sorry. The uh But I am curious. I can't tell you how many people, there are a lot of people who listen to the program. who identify as, you know, constitutionalists. And they are uh they also identify of a same-sex nature.
in terms of attraction. And There are no funnier responses, I gotta say, than the responses I get from those people. Because They're like, hang on, I gotta pull. I have to pull this up. I don't want to say the guy I So the guy's name is Brayden, and that's all I'll say.
He's like, I have to tell you, I am so damn tired of seeing rainbow everywhere. Rainbow is tacky. It's tacky. It doesn't go with anything. I'm tired of seeing it all over everything.
When does it stop? That's an actual email. And it and it he identified as being a gay dude.
So I'm just saying. You know, I feel like There's a loud group of because it it's such a small segment of the population, and I think then of that percentage, there's another percentage from that percentage that wants to paint all the things and take down all the signs. And they're the ones who are like, no, we know that everybody said in the 90s that they wanted to be equal. We don't want to be equal, we want to be specialer.
So we want all of these like special accommodations.
Well, that's not how it works. It doesn't work that way. Uh I wanted to share with you this story too. This is just crazy. The IDF, the hostage rescue, it all came out yesterday, the step-by-step.
Detail and they had literally a long face-to-face battle. One of their uh commanders was shot and killed, but uh they had uh they were there for several days surveilling where these hostages were kept and all of this, and uh I mean, it was pretty amazing. to And reading all of this. At one point, they ended up getting into a gunfight, and what gets me. As they went into one of the houses where the other two hostages were, there were more terrorists there that they think had slipped in at some point before the sun came up.
And they were there, they engaged in a gun battle. But when the other refugees outside started hearing the gunfire, This is like a Team America World Police kind of thing. People were literally like throwing off cloaks and pulling out RPGs and machine guns and all this stuff. Like out in the. Streets there in the refugee camp.
All these pe like people were coming out and just like shooting at the building. Like, oh, there's, is there IDF in there? Pew, I read that. I had to read that several different times, like many different times. I stopped and I was like, wait, what?
What? Because they said that dozens of terrorists emerged from the tunnels around the building. They just came up like rats. From the tunnels. And then they said that people just in and around the area just, they said, just started coming out.
With guns and And uh literal RPGs. They blew up their fur, their extraction, their helicopter that came to get them. They blew it up.
So then they had to go to plan B. Yeah. That's ev that's how crazy it got. That's how crazy this got.
So I got questions about You know, the camp. And who's there? And do they know who's all there? And how many tunnels are there? There's a million questions because this is in Rafa, and those are the tunnels that we were talking about, those are the ones that we mentioned last week.
that ran from the camp all the way underground into Egypt and they're smuggling all kinds of guns and munitions in. Unbelievable. And a new pollout. shows that over 67% of Gazans still support The October 7 terror attack. It only fell by 4% since the same survey was taken in March.
And they said that the majorities in the survey in the West Bank and Gaza? want her mas. as their government. What did I tell you? Very interesting, indeed.
We got a lot to get into. Still, as we barrel to war to get today and stupidity coming up. As we move our partners, you know what? Go ahead and get ready with ReadyWise because you're going to need to anyway at this point. I mean, we just talked with Carol, the petrodollar, everything else, going to hell in a handbasket.
You, how much more information do you need? People, get some food. Get your preparedness food. It's from an American company. It's American food.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. While they over there running they mouth I'm over here paying them no mind. See, I'm so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as Fanny. in a way to attempt to humiliate me. Because like silly schoolboys, the name reminds them of a woman's rear.
It's also literally an old-timey name. I mean there are l actual literary characters. Named Fanny. I mean Oh, wait, actually. Isn't there isn't Fannie Price one?
Yeah, Fanny Price, that was from Mansfield Park. That's Jane Austen. I mean, you had a lot you had Fanny you yeah. I mean that that's You had all of these. Throughout that period of literature, that name was actually.
It c it came up quite a bit. And I've even heard it in names like it's more of like a southern name, but I've heard of that name before. And when I first saw her name, I'm like, oh, it's Fanny with an eye, like Tiffany with an eye. Fawny? I feel like I'm trying to say wash without saying it like I'm trying to say it wrong.
Because you know the correct way to say wash is worshi. That's the right way to say it. Milk. I'm not so sure. It's the southern Missouri that comes out, and yo y'all are wrong with that with the more you're wrong with those words.
It's wrong. But she's She's mad because people say her name wrong. Chick your name is like an old timey name. How are people supposed to know that it's not Fanny? And by the way, technically when there's the presence of two vowels, the second vowel makes the l the first vowel a long the first vowel makes a long song or long sound with the presence of the second vowel.
So you got two vowels right there. The A is long. Fanny, right? That it's Fondy? Wait, how that's not all that Is uh say it again for me, I can't say her name.
I say funny.
Okay. It's almost like an O, like a short, foul O. Fawny. And then I think Steve calls her Fawny. like a fawn, like a baby deer.
Yeah. So that just may be my my my parents' accent trickling down to me. I don't I say a lot of weird words. Wait, what accents do you have? My parents have affiliate.
My mom would say fawny 'cause she's from Pennsylvania, but yeah.
Okay, let me ask you a question. Do your parents say yins? No, that's Pittsburgh. Failure is used. different part of Pennsylvania.
Wait, Pittsburgh say yens? We've had this conversation, but yeah.
So 'Cause in the Ozarks, like in southern Missouri, yens is a thing. Like Y I N S? Like Yin's going out to eat, Yen's coming over.
So, did people from Pittsburgh go there? Like, what's how did that happen? Second hour on the way, stick with us. I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.
Now, I myself regularly conceal carry a nine millimeter.
Now, that said, not every woman is like me, has had the hours of training that I've had, or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time.
So, this is where Burna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon. It's they make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. And the Burna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds, that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away.
I mean, it is hard, easy target acquisition, zero recoil. Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door. Gun-free isn't applicable.
To Burna. It's great for wherever guns are banned. Visit Burna.com slash Dana for 10% off. That's B-Y-R-N-A.com/slash Dana. We know what the substance is because we have the transcript.
And so there are legitimate investigative reasons why the Department of Justice would not want to turn over. And the Congress has to have a legitimate reason to request these materials. There is no legitimate reason that anyone has identified on the Republican side why they need the audio recording in addition to the transcript. And so, yes, congressional oversight is very important. And certainly Donald Trump did give the finger to Congress, and he said it explicitly when he said, I will defy all congressional subpoenas.
But that is not what this administration has done at all. This administration has actually gone over and above what is necessary in the usual accommodation. This is Dan Goldman, and he's saying that. He's saying that while You know, this uh Merrick Garland has gone above and beyond, guys. He's been so cooperative with all of this.
And he's talking about. The Uh subpoenas when they were asking Garland to please Hand over. We need to be able to have the audio to. Joe Biden's Testimony, his closed door testimony. We need to be able to have the audio for that.
and they won't give it up. And They want to make sure, they just simply want to make sure that the Uh The redactions And the transcript after the redactions is still representative of the audio. Because remember, they said they edited it, but the The excuse that they gave As to what they took out, how they edited it was so weird. They were saying, well, you know, we took out. Redundant conjunctions and prepositions and things like that.
Okay, well, why did you do that? Why did you have to go through and edited it? That's so d why'd you edit it? Why'd you have to do that? That's so dumb.
Just give it just give us the audio. But now remember as they said yesterday, That The interview that he had or the t the the uh testimony that Biden gave after that That's when They decided, oh my gosh, we're not going to prosecute the guy. And so when her is like, we're not going to prosecute this guy because he's old and feeble-minded. That's what they said.
So he wasn't competent, mentally competent enough to stay in trial, but he's mentally competent enough to run the United States, essentially. I think that alone. Makes it a necessity to see what was said in the interview. I do not trust these people to say.
Well, the transcript, even though it was edited, and it was some it it it was and I it's to me if it's edited out it's been redacted. The edited transcript, yeah, trust us on this. These are the same people again who had 51 different members of the intelligence agency lie to your face and say that the laptop that was entered into evidence in Hunter Biden's trial in Delaware and that the FBI finally verified, they all lied to you and said that it was a Russian psyop. And it wasn't, it was real, and they all knew it was real.
So this is This is so all of this is is We need to have the audio. And the more they fight, the worse it looks. The worst that it looks. Welcome back to the program, Top of the Second Hour. Dana Lash here with you.
And we've been going over a number of different things. We've been talking about The some of the G7 stuff as well, and touching on that Supreme Court. Ruling that came down this morning about the bump stocks. By the way, Lorraine Mines, Dan Goldman is a guy who did help prep Michael Cohen for Trump's trial. I was like, why does that name sound familiar?
And I was thinking of that. And Lorraine, who has mind-reading capabilities, was like, it's because he prepped Michael Cohen. For trial.
So, welcome back to the program. Like I said, you can listen coast to coast, you can watch the simulcast of the radio show as well. And uh A quick note, so on the the so the uh bumpstock band, which came out. And it was 6-3. I thought it should have been 9.0.
It wasn't because it wasn't about the Second Amendment, it was about the overreach of the administrative state. And it had nothing to do with the bump stock per se. It had nothing to really even do with the Second Amendment per se. It's entirely different. This had to do with whether or not the government extended its authority through the ATF to regulate.
something that they really didn't have the uh the authority to regulate. And that's that's exactly what this was all about. And I mean, this has been, I really think that this is also going to affect, because we saw this at the CDC with the rent moratorium, and I really do think that we'll. We'll see this, you know, the pistol brace stuff. But this gets into the chevron.
Uh The chevron doctrine. And Where Let when you have an you can't have an administrative agency essentially. overextend its authority. And the idea that you have to refer to An administrative bureaucracies interpretation of a law. I mean This is, it looks like they're really going to town on it, SCOTUS does, because you had the CDC, and then, of course, even some of the lower courts with the Ninth Circuit with the CDC.
This isn't the first time that they've made this determination as it relates to the overextension of the administrative state.
So I. No matter which way you look at it, it's a good ruling. It's good news, it's good for freedom.
However, To make you understand how we got to that point. Right after, and this was I mean, this was before the pandemic when all of this stuff went down because you had Parkland, you had the Las Vegas shooting. And Republicans were under a lot of pressure to To find one thing that they could compromise on. And they were being told by other Republicans. I'm not gonna give you names, but I'm telling you the lay of the land at the time.
They were being told by other Republicans, you're gonna have to compromise on some of this stuff, whether it's red flag law, whether it's the universal background check, which was the creation of a gun registry because we already had a background check system. All of this, they were being told that the ban or further restrictions on semi-automatic rifles. And a lot of Republicans were very, very nervous. They were very scared. The administration at the time, the Trump administration, didn't help when they had that huge meeting.
They had that remember that roundtable and they were Democrats and Republicans sitting there, and that's when the President made the comment about red flag and due process. Uh that I hope that he is 180'd from that. But That just gives you some insight, though, into how much pressure was on Republicans to compromise on something. And there were all kinds of meetings on Capitol Hill. And it was rough going.
It was very rough going.
So the idea was: well, We don't want Congress to do something about it. Because if Congress does something about it, then it'll be a lot harder to reverse it, which I get it, and that is true.
So the idea was: well, give it to the ATF because if we just give it to the ATF, you know, what are Democrats going to say? Democrats love when the administrative state makes law. They love it. They're not going to complain about it. They think that it'll work and it'll be lasting.
So let's roll with that as a form of protection for a little while.
So the thought process was: let the ATF handle it because it means less confrontation for Republicans. And the ATF could come out with a rule, and we can go, well, that's the ATF's rule. That's literally what the thought process was at the time. And I'm not saying it was right because it wasn't. Republicans need to stop being afraid to fight toe-to-toe on stuff.
But the fact that they were so afraid to do so, excuse me, my understanding is that they didn't think that they had the support to do it. Just because somebody has an R after their name doesn't mean they know. gun law doesn't mean they even know firearms. There are a lot of Republicans that don't even own firearms. I mean, I had um uh Vivek Ramaswamy, who I don't dislike as a person at all.
In fact, I think he needs to come down here and go shoot. Uh but He had said to me that he didn't own a firearm. And I'm like, oh my gosh, we got to change that. That has to be changed. Just because, and it doesn't mean that they support rights, firearm rights any less, but I do think that when you are a gun owner and you do have that responsibility, I do think that it gives you a little bit deeper insight.
into the Second Amendment and its purpose. My point is that there were a lot of Republicans that were very, very nervous about it. They didn't think that they had support within their own party, and they thought that Democrats were going to outmaneuver them on this issue. And they were allowing Democrats to outmaneuver them on this issue.
So it was a very challenging time. You cannot hide behind the administrative state when you're too cowardly to make a decision, and then turn around and point your finger at them when they overextend. Because Republicans hid behind the ATF. for this role. They did not want to fight on the, they didn't want to fight about it.
They didn't want to fight about bump stocks because they didn't even know enough about bump stocks to talk about that, talk about them and to even explain how, no, they don't function how you think they function. And they also didn't want to say, well, you could tie a rubber band around it and you could turn it use anything to turn it into a, oh my gosh, don't say that because then they'll want to ban more. They didn't know how to message it, so they just didn't want to talk about it.
So they're. Their response was, oh, well, the ATF made a rule. And the ATF, I have to say, they were too dumb to realize. that they were kind of getting played on it. In some ways it was brilliant and in some ways it was cowardly.
Because it gets overturned in the courts. But until it gets overturned in the courts, you gotta live under it. And it didn't even have to get underturned in the courts if only lawmakers would do what they were supposed to do. But remember, lawmakers are only as empowered as you make them. If you send somebody weak To DC, you're going to get weak leadership.
If you send someone who's too afraid to make a decision on their own and they've got to focus group everything, that's the type of representation that you're going to get. It's not just that you send a Republican, it's the type of Republican that you send.
Some of the other stuff. hitting as well.
Now Biden has ruled out. Commuting Hunter Biden's sentence, which you know is totally a lie. You absolutely know this is totally not even true. He was asked yesterday during depressor if he thinks his son got a fair trial and whether or not the DOJ operated independent of politics. He said, I'm satisfied.
I'm not going to do anything. I said I abide by the jury decision. I'll do that. I will not pardon him. And then he was asked about commutation, where apparently he shook his head.
I don't believe it. I think he's going to, he'll pardon him or he'll commute a sentence. Absolutely. Nobody believes that he's not going to do that. Come on.
Nobody believes it.
So the other thing here to get into. Talking, I'm going to pull this up. This was funny.
So we we discussed the elections, the EU elections. Remember how we've been complaining about how socialist France has been? And we talked about their high taxes and how Emmanuel Macron's a weenie. And we've, you know, if wish that they were better. We wish that they were the kind of ally that you that the United States had back in the day when they were helping us fund our independence.
So the Republicans got a got into a big old fight.
So you have the party, there's a couple of different parties. You have two different conservative parties. One of them is Les Republicans. That's the party of Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy. And they apparently There was an announcement that they were gonna that that Sarkozy and that party would allot with would ally with Maureen Le Pen's party.
And Uh apparently they've started fighting over it. And one of the top officials started saying that, oh, this guy who's saying this is only speaking in his name only.
So they literally got into a big oh fight and it included one of the French right running to they locked themselves into the party headquarters. And He locked himself in after his colleagues turned against him. And then the general secretary of the party had the spare keys, and there's a video of her going to the big blue door at their headquarters and going in. They've so they're they're all fighting because Emmanuel Macron called for a snap election. To deal with the prominence now of the National Rally Party, that's Maureen Le Pen's party, and they took home over 31% of the vote.
They're going to control the National Assembly in France. That's their legislature. They're going to control it. And So the right now is having a breakdown because now they're in power. Oh my gosh.
And typical French style. they decide to get petty and fight. It's funny. We're going to talk more about this. I love watching French politics because.
The French are very dramatic in the way that they do stuff like this. Like, we fight behind the scenes. They will literally lock each other out of their headquarters and make each other come and record themselves getting into it. It's hysterical. As we move, our partners that help bring you free radio, it's the folks over at Black Rifle Coffee.

So, a well, they say stunning. It's a stunning Hamptons Beach, but I don't know how you can say that with what I'm about to tell you.
So, they say it's a stunning Hamptons Beach, and it's. Mm-hmm. unfortunately ranked one of the worst in the nation for fecal matter. It's the Meecox Bay, of course it is, in Southampton. And it landed in the top 10 of beaches that tested positive for the Yeah.
Dangerous levels of enterococcus. That's an intestinal pathogen.
So people poop. Yeah, it's it's I am made of jokes right now, though, that I can't even get through this unless I put the. I reminded myself of something I put it in slang. They said it's an intestinal pathogen commonly used. That's literally how it's spelled.
I'm not even joking. It's at the amount. It exceeded the amount considered safe by New York state standards.
Well, what are their safe standards? What are those?
So they said that other apparent other bra. Why is it so bad? I don't understand that. Are people taking water deuces? No.
Is that what it is? I don't know how else to explain that. Is there like a. A sewer plate that's pumping stuff into the water?
So, uh, a bunch of Massachusetts residents saved a Lowell man after a fire on a moped crash. No one ran away, they said. That's that's they helped him, good Samaritans. It was a crash, sending a send a man uh. Apparently running and naked into a smoothie shop.
He's on fire. And they said people were taking off their clothes to give to the guys.
Some were grabbing fire extinguishers. They were trying to put out flames on the moped. Other people were taking the debris out on the road. Everybody just like jumped into action. And it's nice to see that because normally people just stand around and take video.
So, you know, thankfully. Red wine and chocolate could fuel a healthy space flight, say scientists.
Okay. That sounds like a great time. Yeah. They said astronauts could drink red wine and eat chocolate, says one study. A very good study.
Very, very good study. Carol Roth next. This is a great time to make sure that you go get some. Just told you how it's going to get worse economically. And, well, the petrodollar, that's just one reason.

I don't think anyone knows, has a definitive answer why people are not as happy about the economy as they might be. And we don't tell people how they should think or feel about the economy. That's not our job. People experience what they experience. All I can tell you is what the data show, which is we've got an economy that's growing at a solid pace.
Oh, what is this? Like, I'm just wondering, like, you know, is Hunter Biden into selling his Booger Sugar out the back door of the White House? Or is this, you know, is it for everybody just for Hunter? Just for like topping Joe off, it's Jerome Powell hitting it too. I hear these people, and I gotta say, just this is me off.
Whatever I heard them talk. Because this is not our shared reality, y'all. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here. It's Friday.
We don't care. uh are uh she has she actually should get an award for hair. She has, in fact, we're going to come up with an award and give Carol Roth, who describes herself. How does she, she always, she's like one of the smartest people in economics, and she's a retired, or no, recovering, not retired, she's like 10. She's a recovering investment banker and entrepreneur.
She's a New York Times best-selling author of a book that'll scare the hell out of you. You will know, own nothing. You will own nothing. And she's an activist on behalf of economic illiteracy and the best hair out there. Carol Roth joins us now.
Carol, always so good to have you, my sister in the fight. I'm going to get to Jerome Powell because first, and then we got to talk about the petrodollar because I've not heard anybody talk about this. And my first thought was, we got to get Carol. Where are they? They're not looking at what we're living, clearly.
No, they're living in an alternate reality and they have been for quite some time. And, you know, if you are part of the wealthy and well-connected and the elite, you're probably doing quite well because not only is the cost of living been inflated, but also assets have been inflated.
So all the people who Jay-Powell, as I have decided to call him, is hanging around with, you know, they're probably sitting around being like, well, my life's okay. I don't know why everybody's so angry.
Meanwhile, the data shows since Joe Biden took office more than 20% cumulative inflation. And we know that that's underreported by probably a factor of at least two. But you listen to the things they say. First of all, we're going to listen to the data.
Well, the Fed, if they're going to be data dependent, how are they doing that? Because we know the data isn't dependable. It continues to get revised. It continues to go through different adjustments. We know fewer people are responding to certain So, I'm not sure.
Maybe it's a different set of data that they're getting than we're getting, but certainly anything that we see isn't dependable and isn't telling the same story. And just the epic amount of gaslighting that's been going on, you know, these are the same people. Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, who Janet Yellen's final press conference under Trump, she said the biggest issue was that inflation was too low. She had the nerve to say that back then. Then in May of 21 under Biden, she said she didn't see inflation going to be a problem.
Then inflation started to get stoked. Then it was transitory. We hear the same thing out of the Fed.
So when they've been wrong about just about everything, why is it that we're hanging on their every word? Why do they even have this mandate that they supposedly have from Congress? Because obviously they're not doing a real great job of it. That's a great point as well. I remember her saying that.
And I've never heard anyone say that inflation was too low. Like, is that a problem? Like, I don't think that's even an issue. Talking with our good friend Carol Roth, and you can get her newsletter too, by the way, at CarolRoth.com/slash news that she sends out all kinds of good stuff on. I want to come back to this because I think all of this is affected by what we're about to talk about now.
The news came out that The Saudis are no longer going to be requiring sales of crude in US currency, so nobody's going to have this reserve currency of our American dollars, you know, and using that as like the standard for energy, for oil purchasing from the Saudis. They said they're also going to be dealing in all these other currencies as well. Where there is no, I've not heard a single thing, Carol. From the administration on this. No one has spoken about it.
Jeanette Yellen hasn't said anything about it. Poot Booty Juice, Department of Transportation, Jen Granholm over at Energy, not a single person said anything about this. And Biden's now got his whole fame damily over in Italy, the great National Lampoons Poolia Vacation over there. In the meantime, we're watching the petrodollar die and our economic dominance wither. This is disastrous.
Yeah, it's crazy. I didn't even know that there was an expiration date on the market agreement. I thought it was an ongoing thing. And then all of a sudden, just quietly, oh, this went away. This is something that if you want to get into the weeds on, I actually have a whole chapter where we talk about this and you will owe nothing, which you were so kind to endorse, and you can really kind of understand what happened.
But basically, when we went off the gold standard, there was this quiet delegation that went over to the Saudis and made this deal. And they basically said, okay, you agree that dollars is what we're going to price oil in throughout the world. And not only that, so that's sort of the trading part of it, but that you are going to take the excess dollars that you have and you are going to plow them back in and buy treasuries with them. And that was in exchange for us supporting Saudi Arabia from a military standpoint. That was basically the deal that was cut.
And this was so secretive that for a very long time, I think until Bloomberg uncovered it, that they didn't break out treasury purchases from Saudi Arabia. They just sort of lumped them in regionally because they didn't want anyone to know that this was an actual deal that had happened.
So the big shift that is happening now, and we've seen this throughout the BRICS, and by the way, the shift that is happening is not like an outside move, power move. This is all internal. This, going back to the Fed, as we're talking about, the Fed has not kept the dollar stable on an international front or internally, not domestically either. And so when you have commodities, whether it is oil or whether it is food, things that people need to live for their economy that are priced in dollars and that dollar is not stable and all of a sudden it's costing more and more dollars for them that they don't have and they have to go into their reserves in exchange and it becomes more expensive for them. That becomes a national security issue for these countries.
That becomes an issue of being able to feed and have electricity in their country.
So of course, over time, if we don't manage the dollar appropriately, that's going to be an issue. And President Biden and his administration without Congress weaponized the dollar even further this year when they decided to seize Russia's assets.
So who wants to have their reserves and dollar-based assets if the U.S. at any point in time can come in and say, just kidding, we're taking them and trying now to find a way to give those over to Ukraine?
So this is our fault. And what is going to shift and change is we are going to have fewer central banks buying dollars, which by the way, they've been onto this since the Great Recession financial crisis. The last 10 years, central banks around the world have actually been net sellers by about, I think the last I saw was about 100 billion, maybe more at this point, of our treasury.
So they haven't been the ones buying them on net. That is going to accelerate. They're going to put more treasuries in the market, which means more supply, which is going to impact interest rates.
So that means the U.S. government will not be able to borrow cheaply and continue to finance their deficits on the cheap, and it is going to raise the cost of living. And that's the reserve part. Then there's the trade part. It's going to lessen the amount of trade that is being done in dollars as well.
This all threatens our status as the world's reserve currency. And given the fact that we have 120% debt to GDP, and that's projected to grow, that then creates more of a chance for us to have a sovereign debt crisis. The only reason we have not seen everything blow up at this point in time is because we are the world's reserve currency. And so, this shift is a huge threat to that. And not enough people are paying attention.
They're just kind of going, yeah, I'm done. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm sure it's okay. None of this is okay and is going to have grave consequences. 100% because of what the U.S. has done, their shoddy management of the country's financials, this crazy amount of debt we have, this insane central bank that has been derelict in its duties, and none of the people involved, Dana, are going to be held accountable.
That's. I mean it's it's I'm criminal. It's criminal. We're talking with Carol Roth, who just expertly explained how this is going to all distill down, how it's going to affect everyone, because you made a great point. The reason that we haven't blown up from a lot of our bad decisions is because we were the world's currency, the reserve currency, and now we're not anymore.
How quickly does that impact come?
So we still are. I would say that we still have the stronghold. And it's interesting because what we're seeing is that when these currencies are being replaced, these central banks, they're not plowing them into other currencies.
So it's not like we're losing and you're seeing a big jump in Yuan. What are you seeing a jump in? Gold. That is becoming the de facto.
So I would keep an eye on that. And it's one of those things. It's kind of like the Hemingway attributed phrase, you know, how did you go bankrupt very slowly and then all at once? You know, we don't know when that specific point in time is going to be. I think this is going to be more like death by a thousand cuts than like one big crisis.
It's just we're going to see this slow slide and all of a sudden you're going to wake up one day and be like things are just. Much worse, and they're going to blame it on anything and everything else. Usually, usually you're a Republican or somebody who's MAGA or whatever it is. But there's going to be just all of these small issues that snowball into a really big issue. And that gets in because one of the pieces that I read to tie all these two issues together, it was, I think it was USA Today, it was USA Tenator Forbes.
Anyway, they were examining the Trump campaign, the Biden campaign, talking about tax cuts. And I love their perspective: how to pay for them, because Biden obviously wants to increase taxes. On top of all of this, Refusal to cut government spending, increased taxes, furthering drive inflation. That's just going to expedite all of this so much. Yeah, so I don't like the phrase, who is going to pay for taxes?
Oh, I hate it. Because tax cuts is letting you keep your own money. There is no paying for that. What it is, is that if you are changing the tax system, then you have to do right-size spending. And oh, by the way, there isn't a direct correlation.
We saw after the Trump tax cuts that the revenue to the government continued to increase. That is why Joe Biden never overturned that during his tenure because he has taken in more and more revenue. Because when you put money in productive hands, it creates growth and opportunity versus when you put it in government hands. And so, you know, the idea that all of a sudden you're going to raise taxes and that's not going to slow down the economy is farcical. And it totally does get away from the issue of changing and addressing government spending.
And unfortunately, we don't have the political will on those. Either of those fronts to do much.
So I think then you end up with door number three, which in like let's make a deal is often the zonk. And that becomes how do you, you know, how do you take care of these huge deficits? And ultimately, as that goes into the debt, well, you end up monetizing it. And then that causes longer-term inflation. And I think the trajectory that we're on is just basically telling us that inflation is going to continue to be with us.
They're going to continue to normalize it. Their quote unquote 2% target, which is a joke because, you know, Janet thought that inflation was too low. We had to have it at least 2%. Is that's going to target going to creep up and is now going to become 3% or whatever it is. And you're going to have the middle and working class having a harder and harder time of attaining the American dream while the wealthy and well-connected continue to do better.
And you're just going to see that gap widen and on a non-merit based basis. And if somebody creates something and has lots of productivity and they gain something from it, that's great. I have. No problem with the inequality, but when it is done on a non-merit-based basis by government and monetary policy, that is just stealing the American dream from middle America. Yeah.
One last quick question for talking about our friend Carol Roth, the author of the bestseller, You Will Own Nothing, Your War with the New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back. And of course, make sure you get our newsletter at CarolRoth.com slash news because you just were touching on it, inflation. We keep hearing that, oh no, it's cooling, it's fine, it's going away. The Fed's didn't cut the interest rates though, so I need a little bit more than that. Because they keep telling us it's okay.
Well, we're not seeing it in how the Fed acts or in anything else. CPI data, none of it. Yeah, I mean, my best analogy is weight.
So, you know, you go on a binge one year, you gain 10 pounds. It happens to all of us. You go to the doctor, they say, You got to do something about this. You say, Okay, I'm going to try. The next year, you come back and you've gained four pounds.
What does the doctor say? He's saying, Wow, you've really controlled your weight gain. Good job. You only gained four pounds this year versus 10. No, he goes, You're.
14 pounds. You're fat. Don't fit into your jeans anymore. You got to do something. And that's the discussion we have: that all of a sudden we're up, you know, the equivalent of the 20 pounds, which is really 40, if they were being honest about it.
And they're going. You look great. You look fantastic. It's okay that you're wearing elastic waistbands. Don't worry about it.
Just stay in those pants, it's great, they look great anyway. Thanksgiving guests, yeah. Oh my god, our friend Carol Roth, you can find her at Carol JS Roth, find her on uh X. I keep on wanting to say Twitter. Uh, make sure to find her at Carol Roth.com/slash news.
Get that newsletter, get her book. That's like a terrifying book. It's gonna, you know, what make it into a horror film, it'll be like an economic horror film. Carol, always good to see you. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Thank you. Thank you. Take care. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap up this second hour. We got Florida Man on the way.
Florida Man is going to. going to make everything seem saner. Can't even believe I just said that. I agree with Annie Oakley, who said, I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.
Now, I myself regularly conceal carry nine millimeter.
Now, that said, not every woman is like me, has had the hours of training that I've had, or feels comfortable around firearms due to years of use, or maybe they're by a gun-free zone. I'd like to change that what I can while encouraging self-defense at the same time.
So, this is where Burna comes in. It's kind of like a starter weapon, it's they make a non-firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force sending chemical irritants towards a threat as an additional option for women. The Burna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectiles, 68 caliber rounds, that can deter threats in their tracks up to 50 feet away. I mean, it is hard, easy target acquisition, zero recoil.
Burna is legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks, no permits required. It's shipped directly to your door. Gun-free isn't applicable to Burna, it's great for wherever gun-free. Guns are banned.
Visit burna.com slash dana for 10% off. That's byrna.com/slash dana. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man.
A Florida man was accused of reporting a fake bomb in a public's bathroom during a meat heist. There's so many things wrong with this headline. I mean, the bomb in the bathroom, meat, it's all bad. The guy, he's from a Coco man, has found himself behind bars after he allegedly reported a fake bomb in a public's bathroom in an apparent ruse to distribute deputies because he wanted to steal a shopping cart full of meat. Dallas Britt, 46 years old, was arrested and charged with the following incident that unfolded.
Reverend County Sheriff, he got charged with a false bomb report, misuse of 911, petty theft, and use of a two-year. Two-way communication device to facilitate a felony. Couldn't that have just been like a phone? Can you get that charge for? Interesting.
He said, quote, somebody put a bomb in the bathroom, like the garbage can. It's ticking.
So they went. And he got in a lot of trouble. Uh, you can't be doing stuff like that. Why would you do that to steal a shopping cart full of meat? But okay, this Florida man did.
Uh, also. Oh, I don't want to do this one. This Florida man stripped naked and lit a dog on fire outside of a Daytona Beach hotel. I kinda wanna light him on fire now. Please tell me that 65-year-old Michael Zellers got charged for felony, animal cruelty, obstructing an officer, indecent exposure, possession of controlled substance, disorderly conduct, violation, probation.
And he. Literally burned his dog with his lighter on the neck, ears, neck, and paw. The animal suffered superficial injuries. He got medical care. I hope someone nice takes him.
In the meantime, kind. Of want to set his guy's feet on fire, like literally. I'm just saying, kind of. They didn't say I do it. Don't get me.
But you know, kind of. See, we just need one day where it's like a purge. Just let me lose, right? Just let me lose. Third hour on the way, stick with us.

Follow them on social media and tell them Dana sent you. Let me ask you another question. There will be the awkward elephant in the room, and that is about the Sun-Time story last week.
about your spending of $30,000 from your campaign fund for hair and makeup. Can you respond to that and explain why you think that's an appropriate use of the campaign dollars to what to many people seems like a lot of money? I think it's always appropriate to make sure that we're investing in small businesses. especially minority-owned, black-owned, women-owned businesses. Our campaign spends money.
On food. We support Black and brown own businesses, women own businesses. printing, there are a number of things that my campaign spends dollars on. And I'm so committed to supporting small businesses that even as mayor, just Made another announcement of another $34, $35 million available for small businesses. I need, so Wand was playing, he's got the, you keep him out there for a minute.
And you can put me side by side with him if you want to. First off, welcome back. Top of the third hour, Dana Lash with you. Sign up for the newsletter, substack, chapter, and verse. Got all kinds of good stuff up there.
Find us, we've got the chat on Rumble, streaming on X, Channel 347, DirecTV. The reason I want him to stay up, wait, this way. The reason I want him to stay up there is because does he look like a dude? Who first off, he's a dude who spends $30,000. a year on his hair and makeup.
On what? Dudes, you tell me what you see on this man. His hair Y'all, I can't even comment on his makeup. What is his hair? His hair has to be some of that.
What is he spending $30,000 on? Uh anybody? Nothing. What's the most expensive, gentleman, what is the most expensive? Haircut.
you all have ever gotten. I don't know, 'cause all the men in my family go to a barber. They don't go to salons. Right. Back in the day it was like seven, eight bucks.
I think I've paid up to like thirty five, forty bucks for one. Um So you go you but you go to like a barber. Right. Steve, do you go to a barber? I do go to a barber, but I you know, the most expensive barber I've been to is like fifty bucks for just a cut.
And Juan, you don't go to a salon, do you? Oh no, Juan's like, psno, I go to a barber. Yeah, everyone I know goes to a barber. I don't know anybody. He gets once a week haircut, right?
That's uh a fair. I'm outright, so fifty two haircuts a year. He would get a once-a-week haircut for what? I mean, that's fair. No, it's not.
Sure. It but it should only if you're you don't have much hair to cut If he's uh if he's getting a haircut every week, Kane. What? like buzzing the sides and he gets it cropped on the top. That's it.
That shit that doesn't take no time at all.
Well, yeah, I know. you're equating it to how much time based on how much he pays. I love The excuse that he gives, oh, but it's okay 'cause it was black-owned businesses. Right. I mean, it was just campaign funds, by the way.
You get trouble for that stuff. You can't be using campaign funds for things like that. He's like, oh no, it was His black owned business is because he hired a black makeup artist or something. And a lot of his campaign expenditures were just very vague. Like, oh, hair and makeup for event, or hair and makeup for TV, or hair and makeup for debate, or something to that effect.
But Still, how is it $30,000? I say this to somebody who works in T V. And I've worked I do my own hair and makeup for when we're together every day. And I don't like, I actually, there's only very few sidebar, very few makeup artists that I like because I feel like the makeup is so thick and I don't like wearing a lot of makeup because it just I can't breathe and I feel sticky. I can't handle it.
And I have very sensitive skin. And so I'll come in fully done and force them only to do touch-ups. It infuriates everybody, but it's high roll. But even then, when you hire or you have A makeup artist, like when I did my book covers, we had a makeup artist. And they would do you for editorial, which is different, totally different for television.
Television, everything, you can't be shiny. It has to be matte. You have to like out in the street, it looks like drag queen old lady makeup. But When you're doing print, it has to be lighter, it has to be shinier, it's very different. And so, in some of those respects, you have to bring someone on, even then.
It's not thousands of dollars. Even then it's not thousands of dollars. I think that's a good idea. Shoots and events in DC and in New York and in Florida and in LA and everywhere. And because I will I will ask people like, you know, how, you know, how do you do financial?
How do you do with and they, you know, they'll tell you like some of their stuff, they get paid several hundred dollars, or they'll, you know, maybe if it's like an all-day thing, they might get a couple of thousand. uh depending on how many people they're doing and what all they have to bring. If this is just for him. I'm putting all this in context. This is just for him.
So I don't think it was all going for that. What was it all going for? Because you cannot tell me, even if you're being super bougie. And you're hiring this lady. To come out and do your hair and makeup everywhere you go.
for every every time you go into public. I mean, hell, I I think he's saying he spent more than Laurie Lightfoot. And she's a woman, although they have the same hair. Uh I don't know. I've just I've it's It's very confusing, but I love the whole.
Well, you know, I. It was all black-owned businesses, so it's okay somehow. You can't criticize it. What? Yes you can.
You absolutely can. Just wild. They think that they are that they are above the law with everything, always above the law.
So some of the stuff that we've been uh Following We We're getting into. We talked to our friend Carol Roth about some of the economic stuff, and you know, they're. They've been um having this discussion with G7, about You know, the economic security in the Indo-Pacific region with energy, with all of this other stuff. She had said something that was very interesting. You know, the money that was, some of the money that's being used for Ukraine is stuff that's been seized in those, in, in, uh, Yeah.
From Russia. We're talking about like some of the reserve US dollars. She made a good point that people aren't going to want to do that if the US, you know, doesn't, it's not a strong. doesn't uh inspire confidence or or uh help cement support for your currency if you're just going in and seizing. Uh that's which it's Russia still, but The whole the point is it does cause other countries to kind of question, wait a minute.
Maybe we should just engage in. Maybe we should just do crude with other currency. Maybe we should have a different reserve. Maybe we should, should, should. But peop they were signing that at G7.
Is very with which Biden has been looking. I saw more video from last night. where he was at an event and he as he walked in I guess it was a dinner he was going to. With the other leaders, and again, it was one of those things where he had no idea where he was. I have a post up at Substack that you got yesterday if you sign up to the newsletter where.
I got in a little bit to the um I got into the question that I've heard a lot of you ask. about Why are the other leaders not doing anything? And I heard that a lot from people yesterday. And a lot of them, particularly, were talking about the video where. He was kind of like wandering away.
When they were watching the uh Um Parachuters come in. I don't know if they it 'cause that guy came in with the the uh G7 Italia 'cause they were the host country. And I included some video, a bunch of different videos, of how When he, I guess it was when they first got their photo op upon arrival. And he walked down, there were like four or five short steps. into this courtyard.
And he was in front of Fumio Kashida, who is the Japanese prime minister. and as he was walking down he stumbled on those stairs. And Kushida like rushed over to the stairs and then realized I'm on camera and then try to be very Yeah. and you know kind of helped Biden a little bit. And then after their photos They had, they were walking along this.
They took their photos and then they were walking along this, this. Uh it breezeway. and there were another set of like two or three stairs. And it was interesting, Kushida immediately sidestepped. got around and like help made sure that Biden was okay going down the steps.
And I noticed, I also included video in there when he was speaking at Normandy, and after he tried to, he misjudged. How far the chair was away from him. Because it was far back. I mean, they had to step back several steps to get to the chairs because they were all stepping up. near where the flags and all that were.
And after that it was like maybe minutes after that they Jill got him out of there. And there's video of Macron. The French President looking very like, oh, this is This is weird. You could tell he was very confused. Because those were American veterans.
That they were greeting, and Macrone was turning around, and he was, you know, he stayed and was greeting the veterans. There were American veterans there and also some French, etcetera. But And The question that a lot of you ask Well, what are these o why are these other leaders not saying anything? And I think that's a fair question to ask. But what are they supposed to do?
Now keep in mind. Biden being there. is the choice of the voters. And the Democrat Party. They cannot risk.
These leaders cannot risk. alienating. An allies governing party either now. or in November. Should Biden win?
So they kind of got to roll with it, right? And Also, at the same time, their geopolitical foes. Are pretty much our geopolitical foes, and they're all watching everything. And I think that they don't want any weakness by association. Considering that the United States is still the superpower there, they don't want any weakness by association.
And I'm not pointing out Biden's behavior, like his... you know, all of that to mock him. I think it's cruel that he's there at this point. Regardless if he's been a horrible president, because his party is so obsessed with power that their refusal to acknowledge his clearly. his clearly obvious difficulties, it's making us look weak.
But I and I'm saying this about all of them, even the ones that I don't like. Which is Emmanuel Macron, because I don't think Maloney likes him either. There's a video of her shaking his hand, and she's making a face that she cannot hide. But I will say It was incredibly telling when after they had their first photos taken. And then when they were there, I think that some of these leaders, I think they were briefed.
About his cognitive difficulties. I don't think Ursula van der Leyen really was as much, and she's the commissioner of the EU. And Ron's been showing that simulcast, but there was at one point. Maloney, who was the host, I think she was. She was, she, I watched her, and now it's like six or seven different videos shepherd him.
Now, all the other leaders know where they're going. And Juan is showing some of the on the simulcast. Ursula Vanderlin is the commissioner of the EU. She's got the short blonde hair and the Peplum jacket. And Maloney's in the cream-colored suit.
She sees Biden going away. Macron sees him going away. And he steps over. Maloney is trying to very surreptitiously, as much as she can, bring Biden back.
Some were saying, oh, he was watching the other paratroopers. No. That's not, everything was happening in front of him. Then you have Kashida, who comes up. You have Sunak, who is the British prime minister, but they all filled in around him and behind him, almost like they were going to keep him from wandering off again.
Like they all knew and they were just filling in the gaps. They were just kind of immediately moving to fill in the gaps. But it was like McCrone knew immediately. And he saw it's like him and Maloney were kind of looking at each other like, who's gonna get him? Who's gonna get him?
Kane, am I reading too much into this? You know how I love body language. One of my favorite YouTube channels is the body language guy. I watch body bangs. And you don't even have to know a lot about body language to understand that's what was going on.
Yeah. I'm never going to say this about world leaders that I don't like, and I'm talking about Macron. Uh He, it felt like he was acting to kind of minimize some of it, I will say. I don't want it as much as I dislike Biden. I do not want our leader to look weak.
On the world stage. Because he's representative of our country. I don't want our geopolitical enemies going, what in the hell is wrong with the Americans? Why did they send this guy? Why'd they pick this guy?
I don't want them thinking that. I want our enemies going, what in the hell is wrong with these Americans? This guy's going to kill us. That's what I want them to think. I want our geopolitical foes to be terrified of who we put up there.
I don't want them looking at him like, oh, are they? Why do they pick this weakling? I don't want them to have that thought in their head. But I thought it was very interesting that it was particularly Macron and Maloney that were doing. as much as they could, I think, to kind of sh rein him in.
And Kushida. Fumio Kashida. I, you know, he immediately ran over to him and was, you know, helping him down the stairs and all of that. But he was also trying to make it not look super obvious. They were all very aware that they were being recorded.
It was fascinating to watch. I can't tell you how many of these videos I watched last night when I was getting ready for the show today. I know we got to get moving because we got headlines coming up. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. This is crazy.
So in Poughkeepsie in New York, a woman was killed. after she was attacked by a mad cow. If this was at her northern New York form her northern New York farm, according to St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office, Flor Lopez was 28 years old, was tending to a newborn calf when a nearby cow charged at her, struck her several times. She was taken to the hospital.
She did not recover from her injuries.
So that's wild. I mean, you do have to be careful around the heifers for sure, but. Man. I don't know if I've ever heard anybody being actually like in recent time being killed by a cow like that. That's wild.
The let's see. Oh, Portland, of course they were. They were hosting a World Naked Bike Ride. It was canceled. The 2024 one was.
I can't even imagine. The 25 one, they said they're looking for volunteers. Please, no one volunteered. That's disgusting. No one sees that.
No one needs to see that. Let's see here. Omaha Police: the motel once accepted ground beef as payment. I mean, I can't say. I mean, what kind of ground beef was it, though?
I mean, and it was in Omaha. Omaha steaks? I'm just saying, you can take that. Omaha police said that it was in Motel 6. A motel 6 near 84th and Grover Streets.
They said that apparently they were becoming concerned, neighbors were because of. crime and safety issues and they were trying to Law enforcement trying to put some pressure on the motel, and apparently they discovered they were literally accepting ground beef as payment. Like, how much, like, if you got a room for a weekend, how much beef is that? I mean, how many pounds? Yeah, stick with us.
We got more in store. 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. This election is most certainly not about age. Joe and that other guy are essentially the same age.
Let's not be fooled. Joe isn't one of the most effective presidents of our lives in spite of his age, but because of it. You know, she's right. Jill's right. It's not about It's not about age.
It's not, it shouldn't be about his age at all. She's absolutely right. It is about cognitive decline. Mm. Age.
Well, it's more than that because I know 80-year-olds that are.
Well, let me tell you, first off, welcome back to the program. Let me tell you a story about. Chris's grandma. The original Grandma Lash. All right.
Uh she was uh A very, very sprightly little old lady, right? Uh she had a flapper style. She always wore short short curly hair. She started getting dementia in her later years. But up until then, she could like move.
She could, you know, she they took all her tools out of her house because she wouldn't stop fixing up stuff around her house if her husband passed away. She was a handy woman. She wouldn't stop doing stuff. She was trimming trees, and they're like, oh my gosh, you cannot be out there.
Now, we were talking on break about the average height of women. She's probably one of them 4'11 women, Kane. She was diminutive. They're like, you cannot go out there with a chainsaw. They took her chainsaw away.
So she got a. Handsaw. Oh my gosh, you can't, that took that away from her.
Well then one day one of the neighbors in their small town was driving past her house and they saw her hanging upside down in a tree, her ankle caught in the branches. She had climbed up in that tree with a damn butter knife. trying to trim this lone branch off. She was very, very like with it, active, spry. You know, they had to really be creative as sh I mean, when when as her dementia set in.
And My grandfather. He was super with it, super smart, up until the day he passed. Was able to get around, had no issues at all whatsoever. His body just eventually failed him. But he had no, I mean, he was a rancher.
He had no problem moving around. He was out there in the fields all day long. I've been around the family members that have that have aged and have have Just been Super active. and super sharp, even up to the moment that they passed. and I've had family members that have had strokes.
And family members that didn't recover from them as well as others did. And that's why it looks so familiar what you see him going through, because every single one of us has somebody in our family. that has gone through something similar, to some degree of severity. And It's not an issue of age, it's an issue of his cognitive abilities. That have clearly been compromised due to health issues that they don't want to be transparent about.
And you don't have the right to be opaque. When you're in this office. Your life is not your own at that point because you are representing. all of the United States of America. And your decisions can literally affect our livelihoods and lives.
So, you don't get to be opaque about this stuff. You don't get to keep secrets like this. We all can see it. The people who sit here and go, There's nothing wrong with him, you sound so stupid. Just stop.
This is not an issue of us trying to get a win over you or anything. I don't like the man. I'm not going to lie. I don't like him. I think he's a horrible person.
And I think he's just a hideous father. That aside. He is an old man who's not even being allowed to enjoy his life. His sunset years. He's not allowed to kick back and just hang out with his great-grandkids and his grandkids.
He's not allowed to rest. They have him doing this because they need a vessel in which to enact their agenda. There was nobody else that they could get that was going to be competitive. Cuomo took himself out with COVID. And he wasn't ready by 2020 anyway.
Newsome is just unlikable. Kamala, they don't want her. That tells you how bad they don't like Kamala. They do not like her. I think Kamala was a.
a condition of support from the Obamas. 'Cause the Obamas liked her. She was part of their crew. She was when she was AG of California, she was groomed and went up. Senator and then into the Vice Presidency.
But This is, if this is, you know, if it's this bad in public, what is it like when he's not in front of cameras? Have y you have thought about that? This is just what we're seeing publicly. What is it like when it's not when he's where it's private. I had a story.
Let me pull this up. Where There were some aides that had said, ugh yeah. It's actually Privately it's yeah. And I have this story somewhere, but that's something that they had said. And I can only imagine.
Here it is. The Son has the story. They said the eighty one-year-old has been losing focus during the gathering of world leaders for G7 in Puglia, Italy, according to these diplomatic sources. One told the son it's the worst he's ever seen. Another Insider, Diplomatic Insider, added that while the President had shown moments of sharpness and clarity during meetings, At other times he appeared to lose focus and concentration.
Other attendees from multiple Delegations have said that Biden's performance His incidents have been embarrassing.
So the G seven diplomats are all s whispering. And it just it he just It it it doesn't look well.
So my point is that It's it's cruel. It is cruel. You know why they don't get that soundbite ready for me? Because that's a prime example, Kane. of why They don't want her.
Again, that was a condition of Obama's support. And This They do not, nobody else wants her to be in that. They do not want her to be behind the resolute desk. They'll do whatever is possible. I don't think we do either.
Because She would, I think, be more difficult to control for them. Listen to this. This is one of the reasons. Example, exhibit A, as to why. No, you cannot have her behind the resolute desk.
I don't know who's worse. Listen. So the importance of community banks is they are as they are called, they're in the community. led by members of the community. They are people who understand the capacity of the community, the needs of the community, the culture of the community.
So Oh my gosh.
So, community banks are called community banks because why? 'Cause they're in the community.
Well, thank you. Vice President? Is that the only thing that she has to offer for that? I mean So they don't have as many assets as bigger. Do we need to actually do an explainer on what they are?
Oh lord. I you all know, right? Do y'all not know? No, y'all know. I don't believe it.
I don't believe anything. They they their loans are looking at this they're Their financial activities, including their loans, are kind of Directed through to where their depositors live. and they're smaller. It's a little bit more than they're just in the community, Kane. But my vice president said that's why they're called that.
Oh my gosh, I can't even deal. I can't even deal with it. You must have and know that you are applauded for having the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been. That's brand new. That just happened five minutes ago.
Share have anything else? Man. I think we know why they're keeping Biden in there. Oh my gosh. Yeah, can you g you guys see it now?
That's why. That's why he's staying in there.
So, yeah, I don't know. But, you know, it's still Democrats know it's an issue. They know that's an issue. You know, at the Washington Post, there was a column where they were talking about what, why, why. Why not place Kamala with Hillary Clinton?
I'm going to hiss at it. Can you imagine? No, I don't wanna. If I were Secret Service, I would not want her to be anywhere near that. You know?
I'm not kidding. I am not kidding. That woman is evil. There's I try not to let politics get super personal. But there are some of these cats in this business, in the business of politics, and y'all know it.
You look at them and you're like, No, you're evil. Like you're a demon from hell. You're evil. Like. You know it, right?
You just, they're not like regular people. It's weird. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, CNN had his story out today. Joe Biden's been like really working hard to try to dispel the criticisms of his of Biden's um His Cognitive issue.
They keep saying that it is. an age issue, and it's not. It is an issue of cognitive decline. And that's that's the big thing. It's an issue of cognitive decline.
It has nothing to do with age. has nothing to do with age at all.
So A couple of other things I want to make sure that we're touching. Oh, do you? Everybody's been talking about the Joe Biden dogbite story. Do you feel bad for the dog? I feel bad for the dog.
What more proof do we need that Bidens cannot raise a damn thing? They can't parent. They can't. You knew that they would be bad dog owners. All their kids are on drugs.
I wouldn't be surprised if Commander, the dog, is on drugs. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a little puppy pack of cocaine in the back. Conlo puppy escorts. Yeah, it gets that puppy powder. I Worf.
Ka Chow. You know it. Is it Look at all their kids. All their kids are hot messes. I think it was a matter of time for both.
All their kids were hot messes. It's not shocking that their dogs are too. That their dogs have not been trained right, and their dogs are too. It's not a surprise.
So Just saying that I feel bad for the dog. Because he was biting secret service members.
Now, Chris and I were talking about this. My husband and I were talking about this last night. Is it because the dog doesn't like Democrats or is the dog a Democrat? Because he's Biting Secret Service, so I was thinking Yeah. No, like a new one.
There aren't those they don't exist no more.
So, is the dog violent because he likes Democrats? Yeah, maybe, or maybe because he is one. I don't know. Wow. I don't think about that.
Yeah. I was trying to figure that out. Yeah, apparently Biden watched and bite all these people. You just watched him. It's just sanity versus insanity.
They took the Secret Service detail, took the wishing each other have a safe shift. Don't get eaten. I'm sorry, but I trust dogs too much to think that this dog didn't know what he's doing. For real. You know what I mean?
Like, this is one of the reasons I miss having my dogs. And my husband and I are, by the way, at an impasse, because I want to go and adopt all the dogs from the shelter. And he's like, um, he's a little nervous about shelter dogs.
So if you're on Twitter. Don't tell him I put you up to it. He's not here and he can't hear me. Don't tell him that I put you up to this, but just be like, hey, have you just act like it's totally natural that you're bringing up shelter dogs to him and make him feel comfortable about it, but not in a weird way. Because we are at an impasse right now on that.
But see, this is why I miss having dogs because dogs can sniff out a BSer. If a dog doesn't like you, Then you're not, you shouldn't be liked. Yeah, so what if commander's just biting all the right people and we're getting the whole story right? Secret service guys, though? I don't know.
I don't know about that. I don't know. But apparently Biden accused a member of his own detail about lying. After Major, the dog. I thought it was Commander.
Well, there was one, Commander was one, Major was the other. Major apparently attacked one guy, and Biden accused the guy who got attacked of lying about it. You know, like the time they accused the guy of hitting and killing his first wife and said he was drunk when actually she ran a stop sign? And yeah, she it was she was at fault, but whatever.
So The uh yeah, he apparently got all these guys got bit. And all these documents show that, I mean, there were holes in agents' suits. Because the dogs were biting them and ripping their suits. And it wasn't just one dog, it was two dogs. I I understand maybe if you get one dog every now and then that has something wrong maybe with it and it is not It's just an amend dog.
It's very rare. It's 99.9% of the time it's the owners. And you can't, I think people want Belgian Malinois and German shepherds because they think they look tough and cool, but they're absolute jackwagons who don't know how to train dogs. I think the Bidens wanted these dogs because they thought they were cool, trendy dogs. You can't get a Belgian Malinois and not train it, you absolute clown hat.
What is the matter with you? You can't get a German shepherd, and I say this as somebody who had a German shepherd growing up, you can't get a German shepherd and not train a German shepherd. These are dogs that have to be trained. Good heavens. If you can't train them, do the world a favor and don't get it.
That's his problem. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. The party formally of the moral majority is now, I suppose, hoping to fashion some kind of immoral majority. To reinstate Donald Trump as president. What in the world is this immoral majority?
deplorables. It's like they want to lose. There's no greater way than getting people you know what? One thing that the right does not like is when you call them names for how they vote. And then you're going to make people, you know what's going to happen?
They're going to make people who don't even like Trump go, you know what? Blank you. And then they go out and vote for Trump. That's what's going to happen. They're going to keep pushing it and keep pushing it.
And then that's what they're going to do. That's what Hillary did. Immoral majority. What's immoral, Adam Schiff? Tell me what's immoral.
You're the guy who votes for abortion on demand funded by taxpayer dollars up until the moment of birth because you were one of the guys who also endorsed that thing and said that you would back a House compliment to the bill that was in the Senate that backed that, that came into play in the 22, well, in the special elections right after 2020, actually.
So you tell me. And he was dumb enough to be duped by two Russian comedians acting like they had some dirt on Trump. Like he was actually caught on On tape. Acting as though these comedians He was really going to get some dirt on Trump from these comedians. Like, this guy is completely worthless at that level.
Yeah. I mean, he's he's beneficial for Democrats, but he's worthless for the country. It's, I'm so tired of it. I hate that. I just hate this stuff.
Oh, an immoral majority That's Today's stupidity said some moral majority rent. I could go off on this for a little bit, but we're out of time and I'm cutting into King's today and stupidity. Go ahead, go slide. Vaughn, just play it. Just listen to this crap here.
LA City Council members Hugo Soto Martinez and Nithya Rahman were on hand today to help remove the signs. They say the no-cruising and no U-Turn signs were put up in the 1990s to prevent people in the gay community. The problem was with those signs, now that they're removed. It's fixed, right, that we don't have the problem anymore? 'Cause they took down a U turn sign or a no U turn sign?
Yeah, apparently. Whatever the problem was. Taken down the signs, fixed it. And there you go. And there it is, folks.
That does it for us this week. I hope you have a great week and happy Father's Day to all of the amazing dads out there. We love you. We're grateful for you. I'll be back with you Monday.
