Tuesday June 25 - Full Show

Hello, I'm U. S. Surgeon General Doctor Viday Gurthy. Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General's advisory on firearm violence. It outlines the urgent threat firearmed violence poses to the health and well-being of our country.

As a doctor, I've seen the consequences of firearm violence up close. and the lives of the patients I've cared for over the years. These are moms and dads.

Sons and daughters. all of whom were robbed of their physical and mental health. by senseless acts of violence. Unfortunately, the problem has continued to grow. 54% of adults in America report that they or a family member have experienced a firearm-related incident.

whether they've been personally threatened with or injured by a firearm. Lost a family member. witnessed a shooting. or shot a firearm in self-defense. Many of these harms are disproportionately felt in our communities.

Black individuals endure the highest rates of firearm homicides. while suicide rates are highest among veterans. older white individuals. and younger American Indian and Alaska Native people. What is especially devastating?

is how this has affected our children. Firearm violence has become the number one cause of death. among children and adolescents. more than car accidents or drug overdoses.

So, this is, and we're going to deep dive into this, but I got to say, right from the start, I need you to understand why. They're talking about gun control right now. I know it came, it's like a little jarring because there's all this other stuff that's happening, right? You've got Immigration the economy Foreign policy. Uh you have The Absolutely.

terror of potential increased taxation. I mean, just yesterday, what was the big thing that we were talking about? Oh, um Housing The housing stuff because they were saying, well, no, no, no, it's not an issue of supply, it's an issue, there's not enough affordable housing.

So In looking at all of this, the craziest thing. is that they're now they're obsessed with Absolutely obsessed with this. Whole gun control because they're so incredibly desperate going into an election year. It's Democrat desperation. This is not Vivek Murphy, who was sitting around.

and going, you know what, I'm just so concerned about Quote unquote gun violence or whatever. I'm gonna, we're gonna, I'm gonna talk to the president about doing this and having this huge. Initiative comes out, and I'm going to convince them. No, this is the Democrats collectively deciding. that they are in so much trouble.

Polling wise, they are in so much trouble. as it relates to I mean, we talked about black voters. We've talked all the voters. Name a demographic. I would think even lesbian black voters at this point, dead-burnt lesbians, gay twinks, well, that's kind of redundant, everybody.

I mean, he's losing it with absolutely everybody.

So they and they can't what is he going to talk about? Is he going to talk about the economy? I mean, is that I mean, seriously, is that What is he gonna talk about?

So this is the issue. This is what they have to discuss. This is their big issue. They have to create something so that they can make it look like, oh my gosh, we're actually doing something. We're going to help guys.

This is what we're going to do.

So welcome to the program. We're gonna, I'm gonna, like I said, I'm gonna deep dive into all of this and give you some data, some hard data about this because I have written a couple of books about it. You know, maybe you've heard of them. And we're going to discuss all that, but I need you to understand that the reason why they're even doing this in the first place is because. They are absolutely desperate.

absolutely desperate. They are having their backsides handed to them. And with polling. And now the fundraising, although I still think that Biden has. a better outreach state by state than Trump does.

And that's just true. And I think that the Trump camp needs to fix that. He's starting to run into some problems, Biden is. And if he's supposed to be this great president, why is he so close and within the margin of error in so many states?

So, welcome to the radio program, Daniel Lash. With you, you can watch the Simulcast Channel 347. On DirecTV, find us on Rumble, YouTube, all of the stuff. Find us all there. But that's going to be one of our top things that we're discussing today.

And I got to tell you, I'm not entirely surprised. Every time they do this, though, it's not like it's a winner, it's never a winner for them. And that's what's weird about it. It's just never been a winner for them. They When they talked about this, like in the aughts, they ended up losing pretty badly.

They lost pretty badly after their big gun control stuff in the 90s with the Brady bill and all of that. And it's not, I mean, I'm looking at just some of the concerning issues right now for voters. And it's immigration, it's the economy. Inflation. I mean, the economy's broken down like a couple of different ways.

Gun control is not even in the top 10. I mean, it's not even coming up as a measured. I mean, I'm scrolling with all my stuff that I have saved. It's not even It's I mean, it's literally not anything that is measuring as a not even for Democrats. That's what's funny.

For Democrats, it's not something that's coming up as a major issue of concern. But Democrats are the lawmakers are going to try to push it. They are hell-bent. They want to make it a thing because they need an issue, they have to have something. And what's the issue that they're going to, what are they going to, what do they got?

They've got nothing. You expect them to go out there and talk about the economy. What is he going to say? For real, what's he going to say? What is he going to say about the economy?

There's nothing he can say.

So This is just the latest.

So, like I said, we're going to deep dive into that. Also, we've got the debate coming up on Thursday. And we're going to be playing some bingo, and I'll have some information. We're going to have a card for you to get. Uh like tomorrow, uh maybe Thursday afternoon, if you want to play along.

I don't know, there's no prizes. You just get the it's just we're not gonna give any prizes away. I'm not Oprah. You get a car, you get a car. Actually, I like that gif when it's bees.

And she's like, you get bees, yeah, and these bees swarm out and. This is kind of funny. I just didn't enjoy it.

So, we're like I said, we're going to get into all of that stuff and more. All right, so. The debate on Thursday, I have no idea. I guess I don't know how Biden's prepping. I read a Babylon B piece that said that uh Uh Uh Trump is preparing by going to nursing homes and yelling at old people.

So like Kane. 'Cause, you know, Kane doesn't think all people are innocent. Very interesting. He tries to interrupt me all the time, and he just knows that. It's okay.

And apparently, the top three VP finalists. that Trump has. Uh it could be Rubio, Vance, or Burr. Are you serious? Those are the guys?

We're gonna come back to this. I don't have enough time in this segment. That's insane. All right, so what we started with. The vague Murphy.

He's trying to they they want to regulate firearms. And he wants to make gun policy. I mean, it's, and the New York Times went along with it. They announced all this today. He declared a gun violence epidemic.

It's part of America's health crisis. And they wanted a bunch of these preventative measures. And they wanted to treat it. And in my first book, like 10 years ago, I wrote how Democrats want to treat. Firearms, the way that they did Joe Campbell, the way that they approach.

uh cigarettes and tobacco, all that stuff, big tobacco, right? That's what they want to do.

Now, what he tweeted out, and I started diving into it a little bit. What he tweeted out was so incredibly dishonest. And he said that He went on this big old long spiel. Saying that I'm issuing a surgeon general's advisory on firearm violence. He said it's a public health crisis in America and it poses a serious threat.

You heard some of that. that audio that we came in with. And he says it's a it's a it's a seri it's a very serious health crisis and it's very dangerous. And he's comparing it to like every I I mean, they act like uh that I mean, it's a fear-mongering tac t tactic, but they act like it is greater than in terms of involving children. obviously way greater than uh what the statistics actually And we're going to talk about that coming up after headlines.

But he gets into it. He says that I don't know where they get these statistics from. He has these little screenshots and these little video, and he goes 54% of adults, you know, they said firearm-related incidents. The whole of the homicide number, and what you have to understand, and there's two ways to approach it, the whole of the homicide number is padded by the inclusion of suicide, which is incredibly disingenuous, malicious, and I think it betrays the stated concern that these people have for quote-unquote saving lives. Because if you really can or if you really care about saving lives and that's your actual legitimate advocacy, then you're going to work to try to find some sort of resolution to these problems.

And you're not going to look at a tool, you're going to look at the cause. But they never want to look at the cause, and that's one of the big problems with red flag laws. But as it relates to, and that's his goofy numbers there that he we have up. I mean, it's just so stupid. And it's completely incorrect.

These numbers, and you don't have to keep it up on screen because I feel like we're giving him free propaganda and I can't stand that. But We charge guys for our propaganda. We charge it. We charge for that. But he says what he's including in these numbers are suicides.

Suicides comprise a significant portion of this. I mean, ultimately, when you break it down, it's gang and drug violence and then suicides. And then when they talk about children, they pad their numbers with the inclusion of 18 to 19-year-olds, which is the dominant, the two dominant, the dominant age group that is involved in, I would say, drug and gang youth involved activities, right? And that's what drives that crime rate. And it helps to drive the crime rate.

But by including 18 to 19 year olds and defining children in some instances, remember, for healthcare purposes, the government defines a child. Kane, how long do you stay in your parents' insurance? Like till 26 years old?

So, the government actually looks at a child as a 26-year-old.

So, they will expand, they will bastardize, they will morph, they will abuse however the definition of a child to serve their purposes. And the claim that it is the number one, and that's what they get into. He gets in, he wrote a whole thing on this online. He was saying that. With regards to children, it's the number one killer of kids, et cetera.

It is the number one reason that kid fatalities. And I'm going to get into the hard numbers coming up after headlines. But that's it's simply not true. It's just simply not true. And like I said, we're going to deep dive into that, not only with some of the own their own government related numbers, but also do you realize, too, that One of the problems of restorative justice is that they have upended the crime reporting system.

And you have to consider crime has actually increased, and it's increased in areas where you have bail reform, where in cities like Los Angeles, you have simply stopped prosecuting crimes or you have lowered, declassified, for the lack of a better way to put it, certain crimes that would be considered felonies to misdemeanors. How, even in the past several years, you have different areas, different parts of the country that have even redefined what would be considered previously felonious assault to like simple misdemeanor. And this reduction in penalty, this refusal to prosecute, restorative justice, et cetera, is now contributing to encouraging the crime rate almost as much as the career offenders. We're going to dive into this because. They got two ways to do it.

They're trying to. They're trying to do one thing and hide what they're doing with the other hand because they want to create, they desperately want to make this a health issue. They want to make it a health issue so they can regulate it. And they want to put firearms into the realm of, they've been doing this for forever. They want to make firearms a public health issue so that it's able to be regulated.

Every which way they approach this is an in-run around the government and an in-run around the Constitution to give themselves more powers to regulate what you do with your freedoms.

So, Julian Assange is, well, he's walking free. He pled guilty in a deal with the United States, and he was able to walk out of his incarceration. He was in a tiny little room. He pled guilty to a felony charging a deal with our Justice Department that's going to allow him to walk free, resolve a long-running legal saga, span multiple continents. It had to do with all these classified documents.

He left a British prison Monday.

Now, it's interesting, he's appearing in like one of the furthest stretches of U.S. territory away from the United States.

So he's going into the northern Mariana Islands, which is like, what did they say, however many hours away from Australia? He's going home to Australia, but that's a U.S. territory in the Western Pacific, where he's going to plead guilty to an espionage act, a charge of conspiring to willfully obtain and disseminate quantified national info. And so that's, he, there's video of him walking out and leaving and he gets to go with his wife and kids.

So that'll be interesting to see. It's a very complex story and there's a lot of gray in this story. MTV News is gone. By the way, Kurt Loader. I grew up with him as my anchorman.

And then later, as a grown person, he taught me about the pork roll and tailor ham, which I'm going to say both of the words.

So I'm not showing favoritism to one phrase or another because God love you, New Jersey people. You will go to war over this. And it's, and I've made reference to one and not the other, and I've heard from you. It's like I beat a baby steel on camera or something. It's crazy.

Anyway, so MTV News, they nuked their site and 20 years of content is gone, which is dumb that they did that because that was actually some of the best stuff that they did. Honestly, let's see.

Now, experts, because everything is stupid, are asking whether or not milk is racist as a part of a taxpayer-funded research project. I'm not kidding you, into a connection between milk And colonialism. Pay me six figures, and I can tell you. I will tell you, give me six figures, and I'll tell you if things are racist or not. I will take that money.

You know what, Kane? Let's give the government a discount. Give me five, give me what, what is it, mid-six figures? Let's say it's 500,000. Let's say I'll take, I'll take 250.

Right. Give me 250. You can publish a lie for that. Yeah, I'll tell you whether or not something's racist. Happens all the damn time.

Basically, everything I don't like will be racist. That'll help you a little bit, right? That's what that one's for free. Wink, wink. Yeah, they're actually doing this.

And of course, this is this chick's name, Dr. Johanna Zetterstrom Shop. Of course, it is. Of course, it's her name. The title of it is called Milking It Colonialism and Heritage.

I hate everything. Uh, let's see. Ooh, please. NASA predicts there's an asteroid. Guy's got a 72% chance of hitting Earth, and Dallas is listed as one of the cities.

Don't be, I'm look, you guys know that I want the sweet meteor of death to come and obliterate this pitiful rock. Either Jesus or a meteor, or maybe Jesus is writing the meteor or the asteroid. You guys don't know, but they said there's an exercise. There's a 72% chance. They're not expecting one.

Check out the best highlights from every show in Dana's Absurd Truth Podcast, posted daily from The Dana Show. Number one, when the Office of the Surgeon General declares an issue to be a public health issue, not only does that put it squarely in the realm of public health, but it also elevates it on the priority scale. This is what we saw happen half a century ago with tobacco.

When the first Surgeon General report was issued on that subject, it catalyzed a series of actions in communities, in schools, in lawmaking bodies all around the country that ultimately helped us reduce smoking rates from 42% in 1964 to less than 12% today.

So it prioritizes the issue. But the other two things this advisory does is it lays out the impact of this issue, particularly on our kids. Many people may not be aware that this is now...

So this is the Surgeon General who's decided to do Democrats' bidding, and he's going to do gun control. They're not just going to do gun control, though. He wants to change law. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this second hour.

Now, what I'm talking about specifically. is this means to actually Redefine and change what the law is on all of this. And that's where this is from the New York Times that had, you know, they all, this is all organized. They all do this all at the same time. I'm pulling up this New York Times piece now.

So the New York Times came out with something. They also had some, they had this piece where they said, Surgeon General declares gun violence a public health crisis. He's calling for a multi-pronged effort to reduce gun deaths, modeled on campaigns against smoking and traffic fatalities. That's not a new thing. The new thing, though, is this.

Uh 32 page advisory. And that's what he's actually, that's really kind of the crux of this because He is politicizing it. He says that it's been politicized, but he's absolutely politicizing this. He says he thinks it's a public health issue. He claimed that the issue has been politicized and polarized.

But who has been doing the politization of it? Because when you're not basing your advocacy on truth, when you're not basing it on publicly available fact, And you're promoting a false narrative in order to fear monger people into a an uninformed compliance Well, that is politicizing something, is it not? You're politicizing an issue and you're misrepresenting or omitting data entirely in order to get your preferred outcome. That is the absolute definition of politicizing this issue, if there is an official definition of it. And so his 32-page advisory.

He's demanding an increase in funding firearm violence prevention research.

Now quick note on this. The left has always said that the CDC has been barred from studying anything on this. Is studying firearms, period. They're very careful in how they present their premise to you. They don't tell you exactly what it is that the CDC is prevented from doing.

They just claim that the CDC is prevented from studying firearms. That's not true. What the CDC is prevented in doing by law is politicizing an issue. I don't want a government agency to try to manipulate data in order to prove a favorable outcome to me or an outcome that is hostile to me.

Now I say that as a logical person. This is why I should never be president because I absolutely would abuse it. And I would totally cherry-pick this data. Although, the data supports me anyway, so I don't have to cherry-pick anything. The point is that.

They're not banned from studying firearms. They're banned from promoting or either for or against. And that's what makes the left angry. They don't want just a simple study on firearms. And case in point, let's go back to this Forbes piece from 2018.

And this is also one of the chapters in one of my previous books on guns. In 2013, the CDC, there was a study, they worked with the National Academies Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council, and they were studying firearms. In fact, It was a study about The use of firearms, and usually it was focusing on the offensive use. But actually, what they determined is that the defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence. And in fact, this is where these famous numbers are further underscored.

Gary Kleck, who's a Democrat criminologist who lives in Florida, is the guy who studied and came up with the number about half a million defensive uses annually. And the reason why it's an estimate is because not everything is reported and not every area reports crime similarly. And so, as it relates to this study, The CDC actually underscore they betrayed their own argument. They were trying to satiate the left and come up with a survey saying that, oh goodness. This is the reality of the situation is that defensive gun usage.

actually works and it is a common occurrence.

Now, do you remember the story? Where Gu this was from a couple of years ago. The CDC was colluding with gun control groups. And I was on Fox about this a couple of years ago. They were caught colluding with gun control groups and removing.

the numbers about defensive gun usage.

So that It didn't support The pro-Second Amendment side. That's an actual thing. California Rifle and Pistol Association had a deep dive on this because they ultimately got the receipts. They FOIA, actually. They had to use the Freedom of Information Act on it.

And there are emails that show the CDC removed defensive gun use statistics after gun control advocates were upset. That their numbers that were published and publicly available on the CDC website after those numbers were shown to be detrimental to their gun control advocacy. And they are actual hard emails from a number of senators, a number of representatives. In fact, one of the Mark Bryant, who is one of the gun control groups, said, That $2.5 million number needs to be killed, buried, dug up, killed again, and buried again. Because it was harming their gun control advocacy.

This To my point, Is what the CDC is prevented by law from doing. That is why our taxpayer dollars do not go to the CDC for them to create narratives to promote. Policy. That is not their job, either for or against. And there are tons of receipts showing that if they were allowed to do so, they would run with it because they've already been trying to do it.

And there are tons of publicly available emails that you can read that showcase it. I've written about it.

Now This in mind, do you honestly believe the Surgeon General? When he says that this needs to be regulated like a public health issue? When they're lying to you, About the numbers? Do you honestly believe do you want people who lie to you anyway? Do you want to give them power to further regulate what you can do?

That's the million-dollar question here. And he wants to change the law to do it. He's called for violence prevention research. To go back to this New York Times piece, he's advising health workers to discuss firearm storage with patients during routine medical visits. Their business.

I don't go to the doctor and ask them medical questions, do I?

Okay, so I don't need someone who is... not in my home asking me questions about this, period. He also is recommending safe storage laws. He wants a national registry. And by the way, let's all do each other a favor.

We're not using the phrase universal background checks anymore. We are not using the phrase universal background checks anymore because that's not what it is. It is a national registry.

So I'm not saying that phrase anymore because we have background checks. Universal background checks require the establishment of a national registry in order to work.

So let's call it what it is, a national registry. And that is exactly what Vivek Murthy is advocating for in his 32-page advisory. He wants an assault weapons ban, all kinds of stuff.

Now, this isn't public health. This is politics. And he's not recommending anything. He's campaigning for it. This, all of these stuff, all of these things that he's demanding.

Um None of it actually contributes to reducing homicide. And this gets to my next point. He's saying that, well, you know, it's children that are most affected. It's children that are at the greatest disadvantage of firearm violence. He has said this over and over again.

I addressed it in one of the tweets that I had published. and was reacting to on X a little bit earlier. And he says that It's uh that it it has to do it's all has to do With kids. He says, What's devastating is how this has affected our kids. Fire and violence is now the leading cause of death.

And he tries to cite CDC numbers for this. The same CDC that colluded with gun control groups to remove defensive gun uses, which sidebar, if you're talking about offensive uses by career criminals as a premise to deny you a right. then isn't it also logical and fair that you should be able to cite defensive uses by innocent people against those career offenders that greatly outnumber those criminal uses? My case is made. To his point here about kids, and again, citing the CDC.

Do you know how the CDC gets this number? There's been a lot written about it. They get this number because they include 18 to 19 year olds in their definition of children. You all were 19 once. Do you consider yourself a child?

You know why they do this. They do this to pad the numbers, number one. Because if you remove this Do you know that drownings And car accidents? Take first place. When you remove the inclusion.

of eighteen and up, From the C D C's uh numbers that average for children then firearms, that's not the number one. It's drowning and car accidents. In fact, firearms drops precipitously. But they're trying to scare you into uninformed compliance. The whole point of this exercise.

is that they want to scare these suburban wine moms. They want to scare those women whose children are getting older and they need to find a cause. That's what they're trying to do. They wanted to scare them. They are trying to terrify them into uninformed compliance.

And he vaguely blames firearms while he does it. While omitting the contribution, Of the repeat offender driving the crime, which is lazy and it's illiberal and it betrays a prejudice against the common firearm owner. by comparing them to career criminals. This is the whole point. They want, and then he includes suicides in his homicide number, and he writes it off as just gun violence with zero regard for mental health or even resolving the issue.

And I'm supposed to believe that this guy has a genuine felt concern that is, that is. inspiring this advocacy in an election year. I'm to seriously consider that because I don't. And that's the problem. These people don't tell you that it's 18 and 19 year old gang and drug involved youth that are padding the number.

They want to scare families. Their talking point disappears entirely. when only children are included. And further, their overall homicides, padding by including a third of them suicides. That number drops also.

So That's really, really, really Malicious. Do you Believe that these people care about your health. They're not even being honest with you. These are the same people who weren't honest with you, of course, about a number of things, including. you know, the lockdown, the pandemic, the injections, you can't be surprised that they're you know, they wouldn't They wouldn't be honest with you here.

They had the Brady people, the Brady group out there saying, Oh, yes, the Surgeon General says firearms should be treated like any other regulated consumer product. I actually thought that this was parody. Chris Brown, who's the president of the Brady Group, said, Imagine if we treated guns as lethal objects, including ensuring they're kept out of the reach of children. What? I said I thought it was parody and it's not.

Her reaction. Is based entirely on demonstrably fraudulent numbers that are being pushed. to propagandize ahead of an election. That's not advocacy. That is...

Politization. What they say that they're against, but they're doing. And that she has no idea, by the way, on how the average family approaches firearm safety demonstrates that Chris Brown needs a couple of safety classes herself. We have a lot more to get into.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. We already see so many attacks on our queer community. I already don't feel safe in my own hometown, just dressed in drag like this. And it's very scary for queer people to exist in a time where we see this kind of rhetoric being pushed by our lawmakers and the people who should care about other issues that actually affect the American people, other than attacking our community, our LGBTQIA plus community. It's very disappointing, and I hope for better for our community.

Have you ever heard of the beetle called the Elas oculatus? AKA, the big eyed click beetle or the Eastern Eyed Click Beetle. They're considered acrobats of the Beetle world because when they turn over on their back, they're able to flip right over. And in fact, that action creates that clicky noise. That's where they get their name.

So, the reason I bring this up. is because the beetle itself has these two huge camouflaged eyes that are pain painted or that are they're painted it's born with them right on the its back, like right on like where at the tops of its wings. and or right on its back and it And they they're these two Big like dark circles with white trim and it's supposed to worn predators, make it look bigger. than it is. I just think it's interesting because I couldn't help.

But for watching that video, thinking of the click beetle. Because in a similar fashion to that man who's got giant eyes painted and thinks that The eye palate extends above the eyebrow. And maybe right into the hairline. It just made me think of this beetle cane. I was like, They have the same makeup.

That's my first thought. I was like, that person is trying to be a click, a big eyed, big-eyed click beetle. That is my first thought. You look like a cartoon character almost. Why?

Like an anime character. Like bad anime. Right. Like real life bad animals. a a cheap stand on JoJo.

I don't understand the eyes. I just really don't. I mean, it's terrifying. If I would, because you know what I mean? It's like scary.

Are those eyebrows for eyelashes?

Well, they've got the giant eyelashes on, but then of course the I don't know, man. I just don't know. But I would think that that's Weird hell. You complain about all the attention that you're getting. While dressed like that.

While dressed like a realistic version of a funhouse mirror. While dress like something that came from whatever world it came from. Right? While looking like a puff pastry nightmare. Why looking like a big-eyed click beetle?

I could go on. I mean I love the people who are like, I just don't want attention to myself. I want to live my life.

Meanwhile, walks around in pink plastic with makeup that looks like a big-eyed click beetle.

Okay. That makes sense. It's like I just glued this giant phallus to my forehead. I just want to walk around and be normal and not have anybody look at me. What did you think was the All right, we got more on the way.

Second hour coming up. And Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is set to join us here after a while. Going to give us the latest on his legal fight. Stick with us. Do you guys remember back in 2020 when store shelves were empty and nobody could find ammunition?

So that is that's what Nickelodeon apparently is doing for Alphabet Month. And so you have this hefty dude who the song is horrible, it's audible AIDS. It is. It's Audible AIDS. Who sings about this stuff?

I just want to be shut your dumb mouth. Please just shut your dumb mouth. Just shut up. That's what I want to sing. And then, like, going through all the colors, like, and greatest for grass.

Shut up. That's so stupid. You're just making stuff up now. This Good grief. Welcome back to the program.

I had to watch this, so you do too. This is what happens if you feed an oompa loompa after midnight. I was wondering. See how I wove in the gremlins and the blank. I didn't have to explain it.

You get it. Dana Lash here with you. You're yeah, just keep it going, Juan. I had to watch this.

So everyone else does also. I did. Can you imagine if your kid was like you walked in and your kid was watching this? Oh my gosh. I did not allow my kids to just watch television.

Like I if they wanted to watch something Especially if like I was when they were real little. If I was in the kitchen and I was like doing something, Uh if I had an ar if I was writing an article or whatever it was, If they did watch something, I'd put in a Veggie Tales disc, like the old school Veggie Tales stuff, and they could watch that. And then I knew that there wasn't going to be anything weird that popped up or anything that we hadn't discussed or something, you know. But I just don't understand the point of trying to like do this to kids. And if they're young enough where you have to teach them colors with this stuff, they're too young to understand.

Your sexual fetishes, because that's what all of this is like based on. It's based on sexual fetishes, and people who tell you otherwise they're lying to you and they're pretending, and it's insulting to everyone.

So just stop. It This is the complete opposite of behind closed doors, none of your business. Which was how I was raised. That's how all of us 90s kids were raised. Like when people who came to age in the 90s, all of us who were teenagers in the 90s.

This is how we were raised that way. That if it goes, whatever's behind closed doors, it's people's business, et cetera. That was the don't ask, don't tell era.

Now it's in your face and you have to applaud. You have to cheer and applaud. It's totally different.

So you can see why. You know, a lot of folks are thinking, what? This is totally the opposite of what. You told us It's completely the opposite. It's gotten so predictable and it's so overrepresented.

That it's making people resentful because you're just, it's condescending at this point. But this whole thing That's just k what would you do, Kane, if you walked in and your kids were watching that? That wouldn't happen. You know, actually my kids, the the cartoons that I had exposed them to were the old Hanna-Barbera and Warner Brothers ones we had on VHS and then later on D V D. But that's what they grew up with and then, um The only thing that really I thought was funny and on TV at the time when it first came out.

was SpongeBob. That was pretty good. And I let them when they were really young watching. I never had a problem with SpongeBob. SpongeBob just like was legit.

I hear some families had issues with The Simpsons, but I always let my kids watch The Simpsons. I never really had an issue with The Simpsons. He'd say, eat my shorts. And I remember when I was in elementary school, that was a big thing that you weren't. Oh, my God.

Same. I'm like, there's now it's like worse.

Now people are cutting their willies off. It's like way worse. Boy, has this world evolved? It's no joke, right? Good night.

But this has been all month. You can't even enjoy June because everyone's throwing rainbows at you. Did you say this? Did you applaud? Everything is covered in rainbows, and it's just annoying.

And it's all signaling we support how these people have the sex. Yea, us Look how open-minded we are. And then, if you're like, Can you leave the kids out of it? Then they accuse you of attacking them. And I just kind of feel like if you.

React that way to being told to leave the kids alone, then maybe you should be told to leave the kids alone because that's weird. And most people don't try to make lecturing to children about sexual Proclivities part of an advocacy. Why is that the hill that everybody wants to die on? I don't get it. It is the weirdest thing to me.

You th now it's like, no, we're gonna make your kids st stop. I still like that one drag queen. that uh told Jesse Waters that He said that any drag queen that's performing for kids is basically, well, is a basic B drag queen who has no talent and can't get an evening show. Which I thought was hysterical. They're like if kids are your audience kids he said if kids are your audience then you're a horrible drag queen and also probably a pedophile just saying also if this was such a joyful lifestyle and all that why aren't they like why are they such angry bitches right if they're so joyful and it's all about pride why are you so hateful why aren't they encouraging them to go in front of these like crowds of elderly people who like they no longer get visited by family anymore why don't we see any outreach by the drag queens to the elderly Well, because we're trying to keep them alive.

Look, I get and not shock them to death. They're always putting them in front of kids, though. Yeah, because it's weird. But I get it that you think that old people aren't innocent, but you shouldn't do that to them, Kane. If you took this lunchbox and set him before an elderly woman, you'd give her a heart attack.

That is not fair. Not all old people are innocent. If you set that one thing that had that one dude that had eyes, like that click beetle, and you put that in front of an old man, that old man would have a heart attack. He'd be like, The hell is this? I don't know.

I think your eyesight in your old age is. A little diminished, so that may be helpful for the old people to see exaggerated makeup like that. It's not fair. But it's the whole month. Memor in Normandy, the observance of D-Day got a day.

And then 4th of July you get a day. A Day, Independence Day. It should be Independence Month. You get Independence Day. You should have Independence Day, and then, okay, here's a whole month of Independent Celebrations.

And that's about the creation of our republic.

Now, you get a whole month for how people choose to get it on, and I'm so done with it. It's annoying at this point. Golly. And then the people lecturing. Don't put your murals on the asphalt if you don't want people to drive over them.

Although I would think that skid marks are part of the whole costume. Let's see. Moving on. Two federal courts have blocked President Biden's student loan giveaway. His his repayment plan.

Two federal judges halted sections of a Biden administration initiative intended to lower student loan payments. raising questions for the people impacted by the program.

So they're saying that, yes, you can't be just sh making everyone else share the. The debt. Five other states joined. In fact, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is going to be joining us to talk about this because he was leading the charge on it. In Missouri, the Obama appointee, Judge John Ross, ruled that the Department of Education can't just forgive any loans under save, and the save is saving on a valuable education program.

And so it says that program participants, if they were in this, They and they they were scheduled to see their payments. Cut in half for the next month, and then from 10% to 5% of their income, and then so on and so forth. And they said that the Obama appointee said that the department did not get authority.

So this is another Agency that overextended its reach. And that's what this is. We're starting to see a lot of this. A lot of it.

So that's that was that was good news.

Now, in California. They're having some problems. Remember, they were saying that the, what is this? This was their latest. They came out with jobs numbers and they were trying to say that.

California's as a way to hit back at like Florida saying it was the blueprint for the nation. Uh, California was saying, Yeah, we're we're Democrats' blueprint for the nation. Mm-hmm. Because now it's been revealed that all their job gains in 2023 were fake. Wow, it's the latest report.

Published by the California Legislative Analyst Office, a nonpartisan entity. It's an agency of the California government, it's like the Ombudsman, in a way. And it's overseen by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of their state legislature. And they look at all they analyze the state's budget and they look at the fiscal and and all of the fiscal policy, et cetera, and every all the advice given to the legislature, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Now, even though there's been news articles talking about substantial job gains in California for the year of 23. The reality was completely the opposite. The report is called Newest Early Jobs Revisions Show. No Net Job growth. during 2023.

So that California actually lost jobs. during the fourth quarter of last year. And they said that based on the most recent release, Of the early benchmarks, payroll jobs declined by 32,000 from September of 23 through December. of twenty-three. And they said the preliminary monthly reports Uh to contradict that they were Lying, they were wrong.

They were saying that they were showing job growth of plus 117,000 jobs at the time. They They did not see it. They did not see any. They they made it up. Keep that in mind the next time Vivek Murthy says that the government should be able to regulate your rights based on stats that they made up.

This is crazy. They said that their fourth quarter numbers were fake. And the actual post-revision numbers were significantly different. This is wild.

So they said that They think that this is going to be something repeated, that January 24 has not been rebenched, which means the figure includes some of the revision for these recent months. But this is just wild. I hope that the Trump camp sees this and incorporates this. Like, this is, remember, this is your Democrat blueprint for the nation. They said that the realization, this inflation sparking Bidenomics, it really was disastrous for California, and California's state policy on top of that was even more disastrous.

Just wild. absolutely wild. They just made it up. And so They they make it up. And then they'll turn around.

when the revisions come out and they'll just sort of gloss over it. But the first story that comes out is the story that gets all the press. No one wants to revisit. the same or a similar headline, right?

So The media's been predominantly they've been reporting that California's got all these jobs. No, they didn't. They lied about it. What what is the penalty for just faking stuff? Good heavens I was just wild.

I told you we've got the debate coming up Thursday.

So, coming up, a few things. Hunter Biden's requesting a new trial. after his conviction. But it was on a technicality. They're trying to argue a technicality.

It's real weird how they're doing it. Financial data. From the Bidens. Joe and Jill have been using their Delaware house. They've refinanced 20 times with loans totaling over $4 million.

since they bought the home. Both of their homes have been refinanced 35 times. And they have an outstanding loan. In Wilmington, their house is $540,000. Twenty-eight years later, it's still outstanding.

They've refinanced millions upon millions upon millions of dollars. And this is kind of cr Is that odd? Uh a baby worked in finance. Yeah, I was a baby. But think about this.

Is it normal for you as a homeowner? And you've owned a home for a lot of years. I've owned a home for a lot of years you just refinance it a thirty year mortgage twenty-eight times? Not like that. No, you don't.

You know, there's costs involved with doing these refinances. Why would you? take a five, six, seven thousand dollar hit every time. They said that when he first purchased his house. And The first when he had his first mansion in in 1975 and sold it in 96.

Back then the house had The house then that they sold had 15 mortgages and multiple lines of credit attached to it. How? I don't know. Do you want this guy, though, handling the economy? First of all, what bank is going to take a third position?

That was my second question. Or a fourth position on the title, let alone a 15th position. Who's doing this? Stop it. It's wild.

That's wild. All right. We got to get moving and get rolling. We got headlines coming up. Black Rifle Coffee is the coffee I drink every single day.

It's the only coffee I drink actually because everything else is garbage. They get the best coffee beans from around the world.

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

So, a couple of things to make sure that we get. I didn't get to this headline. Did you see all the images of the imminent? Dam failure in Minnesota. Which was crazy.

The video, the, what is it, the Rapidan Dam? What Rapidan Dam. The Rapid Dan Dam. That's like Bob La Blah's Law Blog. The Rapid Dan Dam.

Imminent failure condition, heavy flooding. The video is wild. Just crazy. Water is unforgiving. Good heavens.

And I hope everybody's. Man, I hope everybody's staying safe up there. That's just wild to see that.

So that's that dam. They've been, good heavens. That's kind of, it reminds me of the great floods of 93 in Missouri. I was in school and everybody had to sandbag. Didn't matter.

Everybody was sandbagging somewhere because Mississippi was out of control. Apparently, no, they're trying to say the supply chain is under strain. It's not the supply chain, it's government regulations making the supply chain. The supply chain is a little overburdened and making it to where it can't run properly. And so this story.

That completely buries the lead because people at this news entity can't write proper leads or news articles. Talks about everything from ports and the Suez and the Panama Canal, which is not like Chinese RAN, in the United States as well, longshoremen, everything else. It's all regulation, and they're trying to fearmonger. You have really restrictive policies that make this stuff a lot more difficult than it needs to be, which then is twisted and. uh promoted as being supply chain failures.

Oh, let's see. This is a woman who was rescued after she got trapped in the sewers at Sunset Skate Park. This is like a Teenage Me and Ninja Turtle story. She got trapped in the sewers at Sunset Skate Park. She's now safe.

They had to do a rope rescue.

Somehow she'd gotten into the sewer and was wandering around. She couldn't get out. 10 firefighters had to lift the grate to free her. She wasn't injured, apparently, during the whole thing, but good heavens. Coming up.

Do you have confidence in the Supreme Court? You know, the Derby rule on this immunity thing, all this thing about Alito and the flags, and Clarence Thomas and his wife. I mean, do you have confidence in the Supreme Court? No, I think they've gone rogue. It's most unfortunate.

But it's unfortunate further to see what the other justice, what happened to the chief justice? See, the rule is that they've gone rogue whenever they do something that Democrats dislike, whenever they come to a decision that Democrats oppose. That's obviously Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. If you are listening to the radio program Coast to Coast, or if you're watching the Slimel Cash, you got to see her say it to Anderson Cooper, which you can find Channel 347, Direct TV. Find us on RumbleX, YouTube, everywhere.

So, on this, and we had one of these, we had the headline about the, I was pulling this up, the student loan. huge issue. The student loan debacle that Joe Biden was trying to the Biden administration was trying to push over. Two federal courts blocking parts of this student loan giveaway. And as we discussed, one of like really the tip of the spear on that In Missouri, Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who now joins us via Skype.

Sir, always good to see you. This was good news, and I thought it was interesting, too, an Obama appointee in Missouri. Judge John Ross ruled that the Department of Education can't forgive loans under this program. Obviously, you were happy with this outcome. Yeah, Dana, thanks for having me on.

This is an important win for working Missouri families. At the end of the day, the Supreme Court in June of last year told President Biden that he had no legal or constitutional authority to redistribute $500 billion in debt owed because of these student loans. It harms Missouri because we have the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority that is an apparatus of state government that is funded by our General Assembly.

So it's going to cost Missouri taxpayers north of $45 million. And any working family or small business owner will tell you there's no such thing as debt cancellation.

Somebody's paying it. That's why this lawsuit was so important to go back around and tell President Biden, Congress still hasn't passed any enabling legislation to allow you to do this. The Constitution still prohibits you from spending money absent congressional authorization. The rules still matter. And we're not going to let Joe Biden settle working Missouri families with Ivy League debt.

Exactly. And I think working Missouri families, I think families that are young families trying to get started, middle-class families, poor families, rich families, Families, the retirement family, you know, people who are empty nesters and they're getting ready to retire. They've retired. I mean, they're all, they were all saddled with this. Does this, because this seems to be one, and we're talking to Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey.

This seems to be one of several decisions seemingly indicating this move in the judicial system away from. This Steroided out administrative state to make law where Congress or state legislatures have not. Is this a trend now? Is this enough decisions to say that it is? Absolutely.

West Virginia v. EPA reinvigorated the major questions doctrine a few years ago. And then our student loan case that was handed down in June of last year reiterated the major questions doctrine. It basically stands for the proposition that Congress doesn't hide an elephant in a mouse hole. If Congress intends to enact a program on this order of magnitude with enormous socio-economic, cultural, political ramifications, Congress has to be explicit.

The president can't latch on to vague references and statutes for programming or enabling rulemaking to then do something this big. And that precedent holds in this case, it's going to hold in other cases, so there's no sanction. In the United States Constitution, for an unelected bureaucratic fourth branch of government that consolidates rather than separates power, we know the Constitution is intended to protect us from the government. That's why separation of powers is so important. The administrative state defies that principle, and thus we've got to use state attorneys general's office to fight back.

And this is one of the, you know, this administrative state, this is one of the things that we're seeing this morning with the Surgeon General, Vivek Murphy, announcing this, what is it, 17-page action plan that he has. And it is, you know, it's political advocacy. But he's talking about regulating things like the Second Amendment, firearm ownership, as though it's a health issue. I guess as a way for them to have an in-run around the laws that prohibit the federal government from establishing a national registry like he's calling for, things like that. Obviously, you've been watching that.

What steps are you considering that you can share with us that you're considering using to protect Missourians and maybe other AGs can follow suit against whatever Murthy and the Biden administration are set to unveil? Yeah. Well, I'm proud to live in a state where Article 1, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution says that the state is obligated to use every resource available to protect Missouri's right to keep and bear arms. It's a sacred obligation that I take seriously. Second Amendment is the one that makes all the other ones possible.

We're not going to give up our God-given right to keep and bear arms, to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government, to defend our homes. our property, our loved ones. And a gun registry is just one step towards a gun grab that's been proven true time and time again in history. It is absolutely unconstitutional, and we're not going to let the administrative state start marching down that path. We'll file suit if we have to.

We have multiple lawsuits pending right now against the Biden administration's attempt to ban pistol braces through the administrative rule without enabling legislation through Congress and also the attempt to quote unquote close the gun show loophole. The founding fathers would have understood that individual to individual sales were essential to firearms commerce and that something like that avoids a national registry. It's not a loophole. If it's carved out in the law, so the president has no authority to pass a rule to end that. That's why we filed suit against it.

We'll keep fighting for our rights, keeping bare arms. That's a great point. I mean, it's carved out in the law. That's not a loophole. It's been thought of.

It was mentioned. It's in the law. Talking to Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey.

So I joke, but I really do think you do this. Like you wake up every day and you're like, okay, well. I'm going to chew gum and I'm just going to sue commies. And so I'm all out of gum today.

So he announced: I say, you guys wait till I announce this tweet because I'm not joking. You say, you're filing suit against the state of New York for their attack on our democratic processes through the unconstitutional law affair against the former president. This is a case, that New York case, I cannot. Wrap my head around. I am shocked that it's being taken seriously to use, you know, what I guess at best maybe a misdemeanor, but it's expired beyond the statute of limitations and try to attach it to some other mystery, misdemeanor, or whatever, so you could elevate it to a felony because nobody else wanted to do it.

You can't touch them in the state of New York, so they're going to try to say it's, you know, felonious activity and that it's allowed to stand. But yet, Hillary Clinton can get in trouble for working with Fusion GPS and actually gets in trouble for what Trump is accused of, but nothing happens to her. She's in New York. Talk to us about this because I really wish that more AGs would use the power that they have to step up where we don't seem to have any kind of presence. Yeah, the lawfare being committed against President Trump is nothing short of a direct attack on our democratic process.

Missouri has a sovereign interest in participating in a national presidential election on equal footing and on equal terms with every other state. And we can't let a rogue prosecutor and collusive judiciary in the state of New York upend a presidential election. At the end of the day, President Trump is the chosen candidate for the Republican Party on behalf of delegates from the state of Missouri. And Missourians have a First Amendment right to hear from the president and a right to have access to the president in the heat of a campaign in one of the most consequential president elections in this nation's history. The normal judicial processes to adjudicate the rights of a criminal defendant who's been charged and convicted unlawfully, as in this case, are insufficient to redress the grievances of the voting public of the state of Missouri.

That's why we're filing suit under Article 3, Section 2 of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction over cases in conflicts and disputes between states. And right now, Missouri's got a big, big problem with New York. I wanted to ask you, too, we're talking with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, because we got the debate Thursday, and part of this law affair includes this. Gag order that meaning that if he's on the debate stage and Joe Biden wants to bring up one or several of these cases that Trump is disallowed from speaking about, how is that not a First Amendment issue at that point?

How is that fair? Yeah, you're right. That is absolutely a First Amendment issue. And it's important, people often neglect the fact that the First Amendment protects not only a speaker's right, so the president's right to speak as a presidential candidate. But it also protects listeners' rights to hear.

And that's where Missouri and every other state becomes involved. How many individuals in the state of Missouri have voted for President Trump in the past two presidential elections? How many individuals went out and caucused for President Trump, myself included, most recently in our caucus here in the state of Missouri? And now we can't hear from our chosen candidate. No way that violates our constitutional rights.

There's a strong constitutional presumption against gag orders, and a gag order is intended to protect. The defendant's right to a fair trial.

Well, the trial's over, and if President Trump wants to waive that right, he should be allowed to do so. But that's why this suit is so important. Do you think some of these cases, obviously, you know, there's a road to go with them, but it seems to take forever. Any or all at some point, especially the one in New York, because that seems to be completely uncharted territory. Could that go before SCOTUS at some point?

Well, I think it has to. There are too many constitutional errors in the trial, in the not only the charging document, but the gag order, the lack of jury unanimity during the deliberations and ultimate conviction. What I'm concerned about is that not only was the prosecution replete with constitutional error, thus, evidencing the fact that. it was a politically motivated witch hunt, but the ambition was never to obtain a legally valid conviction. It was intended to take President Trump off the campaign trail and they tethered him to a Manhattan courtroom for months at a time.

And now there's going to be a sentencing. It's potentially going to send him to prison or at least shock time in jail or onerous conditions of house arrest and or community service. Missourians need to have access to a presidential candidate. He needs to be on the campaign trail. We've got to put a stop to it.

Missouri has a sovereign interest in ensuring that President Trump is out campaigning and courting Missouri voters who have supported him in the past.

So that's why they, that's why that audio sound by Pelosi we played. That's why they want to go after SCOTUS. It feels like they're trying to stay steps ahead. They're anticipating that at some point that could happen.

So let's go ahead and let's try to pack the court or undermine faith in these justices. That's their playbook. They're so desperate to retain power. They're willing to destroy our legal institutions to achieve that objective. We've got to fight back and expose it for what it is.

Last quick question for you, Tauka, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. You're taking IBM to court. Over their DEI policies. This story, there's business after business. You're saying that it's a violation of the Missouri Human Rights Act.

Tell me about this. Corporate racism is still racism. Is it illegal to make hiring and employment law decisions based on the color of people's skin and national origin? And yet you've got the CEO of IBM bragging about enforcing racist quotas and disadvantaging people based on the color of their skin or their ethnicity. It violates the Missouri Human Rights Act.

We're the first state in the nation to take corporate America to task over this and harpoon this DEI whale. I'm so glad that you're doing this. And I love that it's, I mean, really, this is fighting for the people is coming down really to a lot of our, these attorney generals, to attorney generals like you. And we're so glad that you're, you're taking this fight, not just on behalf of Missourians. It's affecting, I'm a native Missourian.

All my family's in Missouri. I'm, I, I'm in Texas now, but I still claim it and it helps Texans too.

So we're grateful for it. Thank you so much, sir. Good to see you. Thank you, man. Appreciate you.

Of course. Appreciate you. Maybe you've come across this. If you had to go and get a prescription filled, you know, maybe it takes a really long time to get it filled, or maybe you're told by the pharmacy they don't have that in stock right now. You don't ever want to be without a medication that you need to get better.

So do what I did and take control of your family's health with a medical emergency kit from the doctors at the wellness company.

Now, this is not a first aid kit, right? The kit is filled with essential doctor prescriptions that treat over 39 different medical issues. They have strong antibiotics for infections of all types, including pneumonia, strep throat, ear infections, all kinds of. Sinusitis, like sinus infections, like I always get. It's like having a little urgent care without the $75 copay right at your house.

And you don't have to wait to see a doctor. You don't have to wait in a waiting room. And everybody knows that's like one of the sickest places to be. You don't have to wait at a pharmacy. Every home should have at least one of these medical emergency kits.

And they put it all together in your little kit. They pack it all up and they ship it directly to you. I've used it myself. I've used it several times myself. I ended up getting a sinus infection that turned into stretch throat.

And I could not from the airport traveling, doing everything that I could do. And then, of course, my doctor's office was closed. I did not want to have to go and wait into urgent care. I was too sick. And I went, I remembered I had my medicines.

I went in. I took my medicines and I was literally, and Kane remembers, I was like back on the road to better health. And I was able to actually do my job and be on air the next day, which is incredibly important for you know what I do.

I have to really quickly share with you this one story, Florida Woman Amber Stinton, about the worst parking job ever. In Clearwater, Florida, police charge a driver with a DUI because he parked his car. I had to make sure that it wasn't a woman pretending to be a man. He parked his car off like it was hanging off a pier. Like literally the front tires.

We're over the Wall and it was hanging off. The driver, 38-year-old Matthew Adams, faces a DUI. Uh I W was he following Google Maps? Like, what was the problem? He uh literally parked.

That's what he said. He uh parked behind Pierhouse 60 on Coronado Drive. It was a Lexis R X. Lexis R X. I mean I can't believe it didn't fall in.

Because the front tires are both over the concrete wall, but okay, that's, you know. Whew, alright, uh, let's see. The jeeze. Five four. Fox thirty five Orlando.

A Florida man exposes himself during a road rage incident, screamed and looked away in fear. Wait, who did? James of course his n name is James Box. 56. He was arrested and charged with exposure of his sexual, S-E-C-K-S-H-U-L, sexual organs.

After an incident, he was driving on the highway. People should not be doing more than one thing when driving, and the one thing they should be doing is driving. Don't be on your phone, don't be putting makeup on, don't be exposing your sexual organs to people on the highway. They said that there was another driver in Ikea Optima. I don't know why they felt like it was important to mention that.

But there was another driver that it was a road rage incident. They said that. The driver swerved around them, cut them off. And that was Box, the driver of the Kia Optima. And then Box threw objects at the other driver's vehicle while screaming.

And then later on in the highway, he began to charge the other driver. I'm trying to figure out how this happens while you're driving. He pulled his shorts down and exposed his franken beans. According to the police affidavit, This is my favorite part of the story. The victims advised Two victims advised they screamed and looked away in fear.

When the defendant exposed himself, So How are you driving on the road and you're doing this? The article is unclear. How does that happen?

So They were arrested later that afternoon by deputies. He denied being involved. He goes, they must be confused. He posted a $1,000 bond and he's out. Um I don't know, man.

We know it's a Kia, but we don't know exactly how can I be honest, he looks like he would do that. He's got a neck tat and he's got crazy eyes. And when a man normally, if a man has crazy eyes, he's just crazy, but the neck tat. That's like having a tramp stamp and crazy eyes. You see what I mean?

Like it's a variable that escalates the danger. up by a level right so he is like powered up one So He's got plus neck tat. You know, necktap power. All right. Oh, I got more.

I got more. A Florida man went to the beach searching for sea turtlenest found found, oh, he found almost $5 million in cocaine instead. It's a good thing he got it, not those sea turtles or Hunter Biden. He went now, Hunter Biden's going to be interested in sea turtles. Watch.

This guy discovered 70 pounds of cocaine just like out on the beach. He went looking isn't it aren't you not supposed to look for sea turtles' nests?

So, was this guy admitting to like committing a crime on the? Look, you can't take. That's all. But can you look? How do you find he found cocaine bricks?

4.8 million. They think that it washed up on the beach. And it was wrapped in plastic with a picture of an eagle on top. And they said, Well, it's rare here to have this much cocaine wash up on the beach. To have any, I would think, would be rare.

So yes, you know, eggs and milk and there were grocery things that were up. It has gone down. It has gone down since 2022. Gas prices, because of the actions that this president took, and let's not forget there was an invasion that Russia did into, it did obviously into Ukraine that caused gas prices to tick up. The president took action, tapped the SPR, and we saw gas prices go down.

Oh my gosh. The president has met the moment. Oh my gosh, he only released like what? Enough from the SPR, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. What was it, like enough barrels of oil for like And day.

Uh three quarters of And And that's he brought gas prices down because he released Enough from the SPR. That it actually got us through three quarters of the day. No, but Stop it. Stop it. Welcome back to the program.

Day on last year with you. That's Corney Jean-Pierre. I'm in orange today, that's why. I accidentally wore this color 'cause it's a caution color and I don't like caution. On the way here today, though, I did see an a big increase in gas prices, like 20 cent increase.

But that's big greed, Kane. Is it? Yeah. Is that what it is? It's big greed.

They're like, these prices seem too low. I propel of nothing. I'm gonna jack em up. That's what they think? You don't know that, but that's how big greed thinks, Kane.

Oh, man. Learning something new every day. I'm telling you what.

So welcome back to the radio program. You can listen coast to coast. You can watch the simulcast. On X, channel 347, Direct T V. Rumble.

YouTube, Facebook, Everworth. Watch us. I um I saw that and I couldn't send it fast enough, by the way, to audio. At first, I thought I messed it up, the audio channel and Slack. I was like, I need this.

I want that audio. The grocery, there were grocery things that went up and now they've gone down. Like, what's gone down, Corrine? Tell me that you've never walked into a grocery store without telling me you've never walked into a grocery store. Just go ahead and tell me.

Prices are exorbitant, it's ridiculous. I'm not even going to just tell you. the price of like basic everyday essentials. Eggs have increased. I went through tons of eggs over the the the weekend.

We had uh We don't really, we see our parents like twice a year and our parents came to, my husband's parents came to stay with us for Father's Day and his birthday and all that stuff. And I think I made I mean, for breakfast, I went through a whole thing of eggs. And as I was doing it, I was doing the math of what the eggs cost now as opposed to what they cost previously. And then the butter that I went through, and I'm like, doing like, who. She doesn't go into a grocery store and see this stuff.

It's shocking. It really is shocking to see. How Much less your dollar goes now as opposed to what you know, how much you could purchase the purchase power that you had prior. That's the invisible tax. We're not even getting into the other taxes this administration wants to throw on everybody.

That's the invisible tax. And they keep going, but under Donald Trump, The deficit was grown. No one's saying that Republicans weren't spending big under Trump. I mean, I was the one who was talking about that. Because, in conjunction with the tax cuts, I said if you guys are going to give tax cuts, you have to cut spending.

Because if you don't cut spending, Then what ends up happening is Democrats are going to turn around and say that tax cuts cost, which is going to infuriate all of us who can do math, and then they're going to use that as justification to raise. Taxes. Audio Soundbite 8. This is what Yahoo had asked Gina Yellen. They asked her if she was gone to the grocery store.

Listen. Secretary Yellen, have you been to the grocery store lately? I sure have. I go every week. It's sticker shock, isn't it?

I just, when you look at shipping costs, those have come down. Global food commodity prices have also come down. But food prices still remain high. I know they're not rising at the rate that they were last year, but they're still up 20 percent from pre-COVID. And you know what the administration says?

What's a big grocery store? Oh. What? Oh yeah, it's big big supermarket. See, it's what they did.

Big supermarket was like, you know what? People are affording too much. Let's just Apropos of nothing, checkup prices. That is literally what the administration says. They blame this.

on big supermarket. Like there's a big supermarket guy with a gold nugget ring sitting there at his big old mahogany desk going, You know what, we need to we need to get more money. We need to raise these that's not how any of this works. Because they would be out of business, number one. They wouldn't be able to compete.

But This is directly as a result of the incessant spending, the tax increases, and now we see inflation. That's what's limiting purchase power. That's what all of this is. I was watching this. I got to tell you, I was watching this.

I don't like to watch T V. I watch really weird stuff. When I'm trying to like settle my mind, I either want to watch horror movies, which calm me down. And I love K-dramas. And I watch a lot of historical stuff.

So I've been on this kick about the fall of ancient Rome, right? And one of the things that it was an It was actually a lecture that I was watching. I don't know. And they were discussing the economic policies of ancient Rome and how that actually contributed, in addition to just like rampant, like they weren't even making sure their immigration policies were not able to keep up with resources, et cetera.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it? There's a lot of stuff, there's a lot of variables that go into it. But one of the things that was mentioned. And I thought it was interesting. was the narrator well the the lecturer.

It was a guy who was giving a lecture and then there was a guy who was like going through these ancient spots and then he was, you know, uh you know talking about the history of it. And the guy who was actually in ancient Rome and going through all of this was discussing how The spending was out of control and then there was rampant inflation. And people's purchasing power was, you know, their the what is it, the Ducat, like was greatly di was greatly diminished, the power. of their currency was greatly diminished. And it was interesting to hear this because I'm like, okay, well, they can have this conversation and acknowledge that reality.

Looking from a position of now all the way back to ancient Rome, but they can't see that in current time actually taking place because that's what's happening. I mean, we are watching the purchasing power of all of us see it. All of us are affected. It doesn't matter. How much money do you have?

Everyone's dollar is limited the same way. And some people have more dollars than other people. Like, you gotta explain it like this to the left. And those people who don't have a lot of dollars, they can't make up for the limited reach of everyone's dollar by adding another dollar onto it.

So, and those who can and who don't consider themselves wealthy are now being caught up in the proposed higher taxes from this administration.

So, now they're going to be not able to afford a lot of stuff in the future if Joe Biden wins in November either.

So, that's the reality of it. These it's it's To hear her say like to s not have an answer to this, or to tell you that there is an inflation, or that it's big supermarket that's doing all of this. These people absolutely outright refuse to take accountability for any of their economic policies. But you know what? I was looking at this, let me pull this up.

The big thing, and I was collecting stories on this, because I think that this is going to come up. I think they're preparing for this to come up during the debate. Mark my words, they're going to try to hit Trump on deficit. They're going to go at Trump on deficit spending on Thursday because I keep seeing these headlines pop up over and over and over again. And they're arguing, the argument is that Trump's spending was greater than that of Biden's.

And the problem is that They're including tax cuts, which weren't even made permanent, by the way, for non-business. They're including tax cuts. as like part of the cost. which is asinine to do. Here's one piece.

One presidential candidate ran up twice as much national debt as the other. It gets into deficit spending. It gets into national debt as the U.S. faces spiraling debt bomb. And they talk about Trump approved $8.4 trillion of new 10-year borrowing.

This is just one of the stories that they're promoting of new 10-year borrowing during his full term in office, et cetera. Biden gave the green light for $4.3 trillion. And Kain makes the point of, well, more revenue came into the Treasury because of the tax cuts, but that's not what's included into this analysis. That's never incorporated into this analysis. They don't show that under Trump, government revenue was actually greater than it's been under Biden thus far because tax cuts, even though they weren't temporary, and that was my biggest criticism of Trump's tax policy, is that it was permanent.

Certain business taxes were made permanent, but for everyone else, it was a temporary thing that A, it wasn't made permanent, and that B, government spending wasn't cut directly proportional to tax cuts so that Democrats couldn't turn around and say, oh my gosh, see, that didn't work, so now we've got to raise taxes again. We maintain government spending at current levels. And that's exactly what Democrats ended up doing, which was one of the reasons I was critical of that not being made permanent and the government spending not being reduced. But they don't, in any of this, and there's three pieces that I have: one is an Axios, one is the Daily Mail. And I wanted to say I think one ended up at RCP.

I think it was a I think it was like a New York Times piece. But My point is that they don't include to what Kane had mentioned, nothing is ever made of the revenue that comes in during the period when taxes were lower. Nothing is ever I think that's important when you're discussing taxation or revenue. Instead, they want to lie to you and call it a cost. Yes, and that's how they're fudging their numbers.

It's actually a revenue generator. It's not a cost. And what is actually a cost is government spending. That's a cost. Yes.

It's Incredibly. and raging. Uh did you guys hear about the impox? The spread of impox in Africa needs to be addressed urgently. says the World Health Organization.

Scientists are warning of a dangerous strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Now, do you guys remember what impox is? They stopped calling it monkeypox.

So they thought if they could drop the unky part off it and just call it impox, then it's better. Because Anky Somehow made them think of the gays. I'm just saying that's because Monkey Pox was an STD that was running rampant amongst the gay male community. And remember, in New York, they were trying not to say that. They didn't care about, they cared more about how they were going to be interpreted.

Than they did about actually trying to prevent a virus or a disease from spreading and helping people's health, right? Which is How do you, then you don't care for people if you're more concerned about how you're going to be perceived than you do about preventing.

Something like this from going through a community and getting people sick. What is the matter with you?

So they said it was a mutated strain of the impox. I just love it, I can't get over the fact that they dropped Unkie. Because you know, if we don't, if we call it monkey pox, and that's mean to the gay people, so we're going to drop monkey from it, Kane. And it's just going to be mipox. Like malady, it's mapax.

That's what it is. Right? My pocks.

So they've got uh Yeah. Dangerous strain of mupox in the DRC there, King. What about the people that knew it as monkeypox? And now they're just seeing this empox stuff and they're like, oh, I'm not worried about that. Yeah, I'm not worried about mapox.

I had monkeypox. No, it's still monkeypox. We dropped the anky. I'm sorry, what? That's science.

But their job is to alert the public on what's happening.

Well, the best way to alert the public, Kane, is to make them really confused about what it's called. Is it monkeypox? Is it mupox? Literally, not the best way to let the public know. And I love how they go.

This is NBC. Mepox, because I'm not calling it Mpox, it's Mepox, like Milady, is a viral infection that spreads through close contact.

Well, how close? Of what?

Well, if your toes touch another person's toes, then you get them a pox. Wait, what?

Okay, that's half. That's really not how it happens.

Now I love, they say it later. They go, Well, there's a different form of the virus. And it's spread through the sexual contact of men who also have the Everything actually. with other men. is what they say.

The Ma Pax. Oh, close contact, huh? 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 Burn. That's BYRNA.com slash Dana. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so U.S.

prosecutors want Boeing to face charges. They're recommending that the DOJ bring charges against criminal charges against Boeing. They're saying the planmaker violated a settlement related to two fatal crashes involving it at 737, which killed 346 people.

So they have till 7th of July, the DOJ does, to make a decision on it. Parents are warned to check your kids' swimwear before you go swimming. Because it could save their life. Don't get what is kind of referred to as invisible swimwear or swimwear that cannot be seen underwater.

So, like bluish. I mean, I've seen stuff that looks like underwater camouflage, and I'm like, why would you put your kid in that? Put your kid in a bright, an annoyingly bright color. That way, you can always spot them too. But they said 90% of parents did not know that certain swimwear colors are not very visible or not immediately seen underwater.

It's kind of important. This, a wolf attack at a French zoo has left a woman fighting for her life. The woman ended up in a safari zone while staying at a lodge within a zoo about 25 miles west of Paris. and three wolves attacked her.

Now, see what gets me? It says it's at a French zoo. She was, but it was... In, like, this wildlife reserve portion, wasn't it?

So, is it a zoo or like a reserve? I don't know. Or is it just You know. The blue garoo out there eating people. Anyway, the woman was bitten on the neck, half in the back at the zoo, about 25 miles west of Paris.

The chief prosecutor, and this is out towards Versailles.

So they said the woman's life was in danger. She went out alone for a jog after she spent the night with her family in a safari-style lodge.

Now, lodges in the wolf zone promise silence, rest, and disconnection, the lodge is there. But they said that you get an experience with Arctic wolves. Why would you go jogging at night? in a safari zone where you know wolves are going to be running around. Might as well just carry a big sentence as, come bite me, wolves.

Come get me. Snackety snack here. Police are investigating the incident. That's, I hope they don't put the wolves down. I mean, she walked right up in their kitchen.

What do you expect? Come on. Good heavens. Let's see. This new Colorado law is going to ban sales of dental floss, clothes, and other household products that contain toxic forever chemicals.

Not going to happen for him.

Now This Desperation. I don't know if he's, I don't know. It's going to be interesting to see how this is presented. in the debate. And Biden's ties to the squad?

Has Biden Biden hasn't even gone to New York, has he? That's a good question. He hadn't gone to New York. He has all his surrogates out there doing the work for him. He can't be bothered.

Isn't he in he's in Camp David until tomorrow. He's in Camp David until tomorrow. He's not going to be going out. He's not going to be doing nothing. He's in Camp David until tomorrow.

Or till Thursday. I keep thinking of days Wednesday, till Thursday. And then he they'll lure him out. for the debate. And he'll be dropped onto the s debate stage by visiting angels.

We're doing our debate bingo, by the way. And we're going to have the card available for you. It's up, you can participate, it's up on Facebook. And um We've got We got some We've got some good choices. And we got a lot of from Facebook commenters.

We got a lot from the people in the chat as well. And apparently the McGroen Nation's in the chat again today. That's over at Rumble. They're like the pu digital They're like discussion pirates, but in a good way. Like the fun pirates, not like They're the fun ones.

So we're making. The Debate Bingo Card And because it's going to be, we're going to play some bingo and we're going to see, but we're. I really wish if we did this on a computer and we had a bunch of people that we could do this, I would have like the bingo card. And then, you know, the little things, the little discs that you put over the spaces. It would just be like little piles of cocaine over the spa hunters cocaine over the spaces.

Just saying.

So, we're trying to figure out some of the things that are definitely going to be said, definitely going to be happening at the debate. Right. So think about what it is. If it was Kamala Harris debating, you know what I would have on the debate card. Unburdened by what has been.

Absolutely. Or Venn diagram or something. Venn diagram. Right. Mm.

An annoying cackle, like a really oddly, an odd, annoying cackle, different from like, you know, like a T he. Yeah, we'd have all that.

So it's gonna be easy, I think, with Biden and Trump because they both say some of the same things over and over again about each other.

So there's gonna be some things that we're gonna be able to hit. I am so going to be playing this.

So, we'll have this. We're going to have this debate card up. You'll be able to get it on my Facebook page, official Dana Lash on Facebook. And for you, subscribers, over to Substack. the newsletter, chapter and verse, we're going to have it up there as well.

And I think we're going to do either like a live thread, we may do a discussion there. It all depends. I have some broadcast responsibilities that night. I think I have some pre-debate stuff with Fox, or I'm trying I'm still getting everything ironed out. Uh and then I'll be able to kind of set Because I want to be able to participate, so I'll be able to set and I'll tell you what we'll be doing.

All right, so. I mentioned, let me pull this up again, how Hunter Biden was seeking to get his. Conviction in his con uh fi uh federal gun charges. He wants it dismissed in a new trial.

Now, what's weird about this is his lawyers Made They did make this. I'm pulling up my old story on this. They did make this request once already. His lawyers made this request once. And then I don't even think it was like an hour.

It was like 30 minutes later, they withdrew it. And I don't understand their their machinations here. They aren't they're not saying that it was like, um A mistrial. They're not saying that he didn't do the crime that he was convicted of, which, by the way, can I say? That this is more about falsifying a federal form.

than it is technically. If you wanted to be really, really nitpicky with it. than it is about Gun law? Because the charge for falsifying on a federal form is the same. You can't lie on federal forms.

That's considered like how it was with COVID. If you were lying on your COVID stuff, they were trying to get you with a felony. Remember that?

So anyway, like if you had a fake COVID card, Oh, yeah, I got my shot. Here it is. They're trying to say that that's similar to, you know, in terms of. crime to what this is. No, the story is that they're filing an appeal.

on what they say is a procedural hiccup. An error by the court. The report says that. The trial court did not have jurisdiction over his case because of appeals that he had filed challenging his prosecution. And the defense team says that the conviction must be wiped away because even though the appeals court had rejected the appeal, By the time that the trial started, it had not issued what is known as a mandate, which is a procedural maneuver that notifies the lower court of a ruling made by a higher court of appeal.

So it's like. It's a it's like a technical thing that they're They're trying to say that he was th that he somehow what was not given an opportunity to dispute. The prosecution of the char what?

So I don't No, if they think that they would get a different verdict. From a new trial? I don't Or it could be that they're trying to stall. 'Cause we have what? not even four months to the election, right?

Golly, how weird is that? Right? So, what happens? I mean, if he is convicted for a second time, say his appeal gets to go through, he gets convicted for a second time. Would Biden be able to pardon him or commute a sentence, I don't know.

I mean, he said that he wouldn't do it, but We don't believe him. I I'm not I don't know, I'm not quite sure. And then of course you got the tax evasion thing in California, which is a very s actually a serious thing. That's not even anything that that had to do with a laptop. That was their own financial impropriety that brought that on.

And then laptop just added some evidence to it, but they already had a lot of evidence in the first place.

So I don't know. I just feel like Everything I I absolutely believe that Biden's going to partner commute him. Absolutely. You know that's coming.

So he can sit here and say all day that he's not going to do it, but it's going to happen. He'll wait until after votes are cast. He'll wait until the election to do it. That's how he's going to do it. All right, a couple of other things.

To touch on got the debate. On Thursday. We'll be pregaming some stuff tomorrow. And obviously, on Friday, we're going to recap the debate. If you know you can.

Tomorrow we're going to talk to Brendan Carr. Who is As you know, the commissioner on CDC, or FCC, I almost said CDC, talking about that earlier, on the Federal Communications Commission. Everybody's been talking about this story of George Soros. Making major purchases, like you know, uh the radio takeover. Because we are streamed We're on digital, we're on terrestrial radio, we're in hundreds of markets all across the United States.

On terrestrial radio. And back in February of this year, you had the Soros Management Fund that purchased about $400 million in debt. in Odyssey, which is uh one of the top broadcasters in the country and run a number of those stations. And they own Gosh, what? Over 220 stations.

Something like that, and they have something about 170 million listeners. Our show. uh was measured to have over ten million listeners daily. And Odyssey has a number of, you know, I'm not the only conservative host.

Now, here's the rules with this, and this is what's interesting.

So the FCC, this is fcc.gov. They have regulations on foreign ownership of broadcast like this. To give a radio station a license. to have a company that has a radio station license, you can't do it unlu if more than 25% of their controlling interest is held by someone a foreign individual or entity or something. And in order for Soros, the Soros Fund Management to purchase Odyssey.

And all this is still in the process. It's not a done deal. The FCC would have to make an exception for George Soros. Under the current rules, again, because it would be more than 25% of a controlling interest, and he is a foreign individual. And this is a foreign entity.

He would not be able if he was anybody else, he would not be able to make this purchase. But Democrats are pushing the FCC to make an exception for him. That doesn't sound like fairness, does it? Brendan Carr has been speaking out about it, and he's going to be joining us on air tomorrow. And we don't even know where the money for the purchase is coming from, and that's the other thing.

And that's one thing that you have to be transparent about when making such a purchase. And they're even giving him an exception to that. They're not asking. where the money's coming from. They're not going through any kind of foreign ownership review.

Nothing. They are actually waiving oversight on this. Democrats want to waive oversight on this, bend the rules, and allow the purchase to happen.

Now, clearly, There is concern. That He would start to reshape what the fairness doctrine didn't do. George Soros would, with the acquisition of the second biggest, broadcaster in the United States.

Now, some say that he's more interested in music and sports and controlling. information through that. I think it could be applicable to everything. What gets me is the amount of leftists that would scream over Sinclair media. and how these same people say nothing on this.

Have you heard any Democrat opposition from any of the people who have complained about Sinclair? They get mad if Sinclair has uh any kind of station Uh guidebooks. Any kind of guide or uniform approach to either bias or a story that involves them, even. And they say that it's, you know, it's bias, et cetera, whatever. Nothing on this.

Now One of the things that I think conservatives have always been more successful at is messaging than the left, which is weird. You wouldn't think that normally. Democrats, the left, are very, very good at taking over entities, taking over academia, taking over Hollywood. The right never paid as much attention to that because they didn't think it was as important. And I'm trying to tell them not to do the same thing with gaming because that's the wild frontier that the left is trying to get a toehold in.

And people who, the predominant people in that community, are people who are naturally more limited government. Uh because they're not morons. And The right has always been very, very successful at messaging. That's why, in like back in the 90s, I was a kid, but I just remember on the cover of my parents' magazines, they would always. They would have like Rush Limbaugh versus Howard Stern and who's going to win and all this other stuff.

And that was, they tried to push into the fairness doctrine to curb the appeal and reach of conservative talk radio. And then when the digital spaces began ticking off, conservatives dominated on Twitter and dominated on all these social media platforms, which is why these algorithms and all of this stuff came into existence in the first place, because conservatives were so successful at it. And you had net roots, which is no longer in effect, but it used to be this old far-left digital. Convention, and they would have it in different places. I crashed one in Rhode Island one year, and they would get together and talk about how to curb the rights' influence on digital spaces.

And so This seems like because radio still has reach They're doing it with their censorship through this administration. And this is how they're going to do it. I feel like there is a threat here. We'll see. But I feel.

You know, for them to be able to take over Odyssey and do all of that stuff, they have to go through a process, and the rules should not be bent for George Soros. I don't get to bypass the rules. You don't get to bypass rules. Why should George Soros Be promoted above everyone else, which is by itself an affront to the Constitution and equality. Why should this guy get a pass because he's an old white rich dude?

And he's a Marxist. Why should he get a pass?

So he can do. To radio and to broadcasting what he's done to the judicial system with prosecutors in this country? We're going to talk to Bernan Carr about this tomorrow. As we and people are like, are you concerned? I'm always I'm I'm never but I but I do think that there's a I do think that there's something to just to point out here and to be cautious about.

But I don't know. I've been targeted by so many people throughout my life, I don't even know. Do I feel concerned? No. Is there a concern?

Yeah. We'll talk more about it tomorrow. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower.

Well, I saw a poll today that said among young people 18 to 30 that Biden was ahead by 23 points, that people did care about women's right to choose, LGBT and minority issues. They cared about the planet and the rest.

So again, we don't agonize. We organize to get out that. Nobody cares. Nobody is going to vote on whether. No one's going to sit here and vote because of alphabet.

Stop it. That's really it. That's all you have. People are broke. They're broke as hell.

Butter's expensive. Milk is expensive. And you're like, well, people are going to vote for how people have sex and also weather. How is that making people's dollars stretch farther? What is that doing for inflation?

What is it doing for jobs? What's it doing for the border? Not a damn thing, it's rhetorical. Imagine saying something like that with a straight face though, no pun intended.

Well, that's why people are gonna they're gonna vote for Biden because they care about the weather. on these letters of the alphabet. I feel like there aren't there the some letters out? That The L G B T Q. There's some letters she left out.

Why are you such a bigot? I think you have to include all of it. You can't and there's like a ton more letters that go in there. There's like two s There's I, there's All kinds of stuff. Yeah, there is an A in there.

The asexual people. You're like, what? Uh-huh. It's a thing. That's right.

Everybody gets a letter. Except if you're j if except if you're straight, which you don't you don't get a letter. You don't get a flag either. Mm. I like street corn.

Do I get a flag for that? No. You don't even get street paint. Yeah. We need a straight corn day.

All right. Today's stupidity can. All right, cut seven. This is Janet Yellen lying. He just gave up.

He's just lying. Just lying. That the signature policy from the Trump years was the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. And it promised an investment boom, which really did not materialize. It gave huge tax breaks to corporations and to wealthy individuals.

And to everyone else. And that didn't result in an enormous increase in the deficit. No, that did not do it. See, this is what they're going for. This is one of the things they're going to play at the debate on Thursday.
