SPEAKER 04 :
Female athletes have been forced onto the front lines and men claiming to be girls have stolen more than 3,500 victories, that’s a lot, and invaded more than 11,000 competitions designed for women. Last year, a male cyclist posing as a woman competed in the 800 mile Arizona trail race, a very big deal in cycling, and obliterated the woman’s course record by nearly five and a half hours. Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it, huh? Five and a half hours, but you have to hear the weightlifting records. You think that’s bad, the weightlifting’s worse. In 2023, a man in women’s powerlifting broke two world records and outlifted his closest female opponent in one event by 440 pounds. And they continue to defend themselves. Mr. Congressman, you know that, right? They continue to defend themselves. We hope they continue onward because I don’t think we can lose the race. This is one of the big reasons that we all want and it’s one of the big reasons that we had a record, a landslide like they haven’t seen before very often anyway. And who could forget last year’s Paris Olympics where a male boxer stole the woman’s gold medal after brutalizing his female opponent so viciously that she had to forfeit just after 46 seconds and she was a championship fighter. actually they had two women or two people that transitioned and both of them won gold medals and they won them very convincingly but all of that ends today because with this executive order the war on women’s sports is over he’s the feminist president Donald Trump is the feminist president and that optic right there is
SPEAKER 01 :
where I don’t know how many girls, I don’t know how many athletes they had there in the room with him. I mean, there were a lot. I mean, it looked like at least around him there were 50. That was an unbelievable optic to see that because… This and they were all they were all ages. They were, you know, they were boomers and Gen X and millennials and Gen Z. And I think is alpha. I guess those are alpha. The littlest ones are alpha. Is that what that? So you had a I mean, like every generation athlete, female athlete present and Trump is signing this. this bill and it’s just an optic that it’s one of those, it’s one of those things like what, when he was at McDonald’s and when he was in the trash truck, it’s just one of those optics that becomes historical. And it’s so weird to me that, you know, you have a, This even happening. Can I just be honest? This is so messed up that this even has to happen, that you have to have the president of the United States legit sign a law stipulating that, yes, you know, it really does need to be, you know, just the women in women’s sports. It’s so weird that we’re even here. I was having a conversation with a girl that I… Because I was a big jock in school. And I was having a conversation with a friend of mine. And we were both on several teams together. And she has daughters and I have sons. And her kids are also in athletics. And I made the mention to her. I’m like, can you imagine? What would this have been like if we were in high school still? Like if we were in high school. And… We were told that we had to accommodate men on our teams. And I can’t even imagine. That’s why I think it’s just, I think it’s harder being a teenager now than it was then. Because you have that on top of it. And now, and then we’re going to get into this, but you have some of these athletes that decided to, they filed suit. against uh what was it penn and over the leah thomas stuff that’s that’s really significant all while this was happening but this optic of trump there and he’s surrounded by all of these female athletes and he’s signing this bill protecting women’s sports stipulating that men cannot come in treat women’s sports like a rec league like the jv squad and start taking over And I like the fact that he was listing in his address all these, or in his remarks when he was signing it, all of his, you know, these instances where it’s just grotesquely unbalanced. I mean, it’s anti-science. And I’m glad that he did it. And I’m glad that all of those girls, those girls that were there, especially the super young ones, they’re never going to forget this. They’re going to remember this. This is a feminist president. This is what feminism is supposed to be like. This is what you know, you have chivalry and then you have feminism. And I think people want to allow the left to hijack these terms. This is what feminism looks like. It is it’s empowering women, protecting women, but not at the expense of men. Modern feminism has gotten it to where, you know, you it’s at the expense of men. It’s like they view men like enemies and it shouldn’t be that way. That’s just I think. And I sent that out. If you get my newsletter, this that was my lead photo for my newsletter today was this optic of these girls. surrounding POTUS as he signs this. And it’s just truly, it was a sweet thing to see. And he was really good with the crowd. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour. I just really liked this optic. And it is. It’s the lead. It’s the photo that I have for the newsletter that I send out if you’re a subscriber over at Substack. And it’s just such a great optic. Democrats are unhinged over. Think about that. I mean, you didn’t Kamala Harris didn’t do this. Joe Biden didn’t do this. This wasn’t a Democrat that did this. This was a Republican male. As a Republican male who did this. So kudos. And I wanted to say something else, too, and talking to my friend. So we’re. My friends and I are on the very end. We literally were in the very last year of Gen X. We’re like a year out of the 80s. We’re the very last year of Gen X, but we’re Gen X. We grew up half with email and half without. It’s weird. But you know what was really big for our generation is sports. And all of my girlfriends were in sports. All of these moms today raising these girls, they were in sports. We all, I mean, my gosh, I was at the school, on the field, or in the gym, somewhere, every single day. All throughout summer, because I did select. All throughout summer, every single day. We’re moms who love sports. We loved to play. And, I mean, look at that optic that Juan’s showing you on the simulcast. Look at the little girl that’s in the corner. She’s like, oh my gosh. That’s such a great moment. That is such, look at the little girl. She’s there looking right at his signature. They’re all so excited. They’re so happy. And they have, there’s like this air of expectation. I just, this is like a Renaissance painting. It really is. This is, I think, my favorite photo that he’s done. I like this photo more even than the McDonald’s one. This one. Look at it. It is a Renaissance painting. It’s so great. But we all played sports. All of us. We’re all moms. We all played sports. And we loved it because it means something to you. I mean, when I was growing up, I had a single parent household for a significant period. And when I was growing up, sports, I didn’t want to go home because I was the only person that was home until like 7 or 8 o’clock. No offense, but my mom worked. And I was a latchkey kid. And when you had sports after school and you got involved in all of that, you had a sense of belonging, a sense of camaraderie. You had a place you had to be. You had expectations on you that you had to meet. And it was a great lesson in so many ways. And so many women my age grew up with that. And… We grew and we got a little bit tribal about our sports and our athleticism because of that. And then we’re raising the next generation and we’re watching that be threatened for them because of this ideology. And I it’s you know, I we had family members. I had a family member and this was in Hillsborough, Missouri. You know where that is, Kane? That’s like in Jeffco, man. Beautiful area. But we had a cousin who was in school, and there was an 18-year-old male who was 6’2″, who wanted to be able to use the women’s locker room. And our cousin was an athlete, a female athlete. It was a big ordeal because the girls that were told, these girls, like look how young these girls are. You’re talking about forcing these age girls to compete with men, change in the locker room with them. Think about it. If you’re a freshman girl in high school, how old’s like what? You’re 14, 15 years old freshman. You’re in a locker room changing with an 18 year old legal male, adult male. Adult male, the legal adult. Six foot two and you have to change in front of them. It’s already weird when you’re a woman as you’re growing up and you’re entering high school and you’re in sports and you have to do all, it’s already weird. To be forced to do that, there were a lot of girls who quit the team. There were protests at the school, all of this stuff. The girls were made to be, they were treated like second class citizens. This is the most feminist thing that’s been done in the past 50 years. And it wasn’t done by the left. They have always been on the wrong side of history for literally everything. The left fought against having women vote. Go back and look at suffrage. It wasn’t a single damn Democrat amongst them that were promoting the idea of allowing women to vote. Republicans were the ones who were protesting and in the streets and pushing to get women the right to vote. It wasn’t Democrats, just like on the trail of genocide, going and forcing off American Indians off their land and sending them out West. That was Democrats that did that, not Republicans. Democrats have been on the wrong side of history for all of this. And what’s more, it’s not just women that are rejecting this. I mentioned this yesterday with memes. The LGB communities are rejecting the T. I don’t know if you saw some of this yesterday, some of the attacks on POTUS for signing this. People were saying, oh, this is an affront to the LG. It was like a trans group that was saying it was an affront to the LGBT community. And I’m thinking, wait a minute, when did the T’s get to speak for the LG and the B’s? When do the T’s get to speak for them? Like the LG’s and the B’s are just like, we’re doing our own thing over here. And then the T’s come in and they’re like, no, we’re offended for all of us. And the other letters are looking at them like the hell, like everything was started to be like, you know, everything was cool. What are you doing? And the T’s come in, elbow their way in and take over the grievance industry. That the left is apoplectic because this wasn’t their optic. Think about it. They had all of the opportunities to show that Kamala Harris was a living human. And with the McDonald’s thing, they didn’t do it. So Trump went to McDonald’s. The left had all this time to show that they were some big feminist. They didn’t do it. Now you have this. Just saying. It’s pretty amazing. And so I… I like this optic. It’s one of my favorites. It’s one of my favorites. We have a number of things to get to today, including day two of rage. And it’s day two of rage because more and more is coming out about how much money from USAID, how much was going to all of these other… I mean, guys, it keeps getting worse. I don’t know if you know this. It’s… It is… It keeps getting worse. So what was discovered yesterday is that, do you know the Everytown Group? The Everytown Gun Control Group, that was a group that was founded by Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire. So billionaire Michael Bloomberg founded Everytown for gun control. He founded it about the same time that he created Moms Demand and then hired Monsanto’s PR person. And this is wild. We paid millions to gun control groups like every town. That’s where our tax dollars went. It went to every town. Oh, and that’s not all. We studied how flavored cigarettes, Cain, affected the health of obese lesbians.
SPEAKER 16 :
And we paid for them to…

stealing hundreds of millions of dollars to promote woke. Did you see what happened yesterday where they found hundreds of millions of dollars of money was fraudulently given to newspapers and, I guess, Politico? I don’t know. I hope you’re enjoying your breakfast. No, they gave money to all this out of U.S., aid right usaid it came out hundreds of just tremendous amounts of money had nothing to do with anything this is a terrible thing that was experienced but we’re catching them left and right we’re catching them we’re catching them to a point where they don’t know what the heck is going on they can’t believe they’re getting caught and i have great respect for the people that are doing it elon musk is helping us on it And he’s pretty good. He’s pretty good. He’s pretty good at it. But the numbers are astounding. They’re astounding.
SPEAKER 01 :
And there’s even more of it. I like what Trump was saying there about the USAID scandal. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this first hour. And it’s, I mean, it gets worse, guys. It gets worse. Now, just to remind you how insane this is. Excuse me. You had $270 million that went through USAID that funded over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets. And I know some people don’t like WikiLeaks. I don’t like compromising military ops and our soldiers. However, if the government wasn’t so damn big and if they were a little bit more transparent, you would need entities to blow the whistle on stuff. Just FYI. They spent, USAID, 6,000, over 6,200 journalists, by the way. And it was across 707 media outlets. Two hundred and seventy nine. Now, this is I don’t quite understand this. I was asking a friend of mine. They’re described as media NGOs. What the hell is a meat? What is a non-government entity, a contracted non-government entity, a media non-government operation? What is that?
SPEAKER 16 :
Isn’t that all media?
SPEAKER 01 :
You would think. I don’t know. Like, that’s why I’m confused. But that’s how it’s listed here. I don’t I don’t know what that means. Oh, and we funded nine out of the 10 media outlets in Ukraine. So all of that was happening. So again, USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets, 279, again, I don’t know what that is, media NGOs, nine out of 10 media outlets in Ukraine. reporters without borders. Do you remember one of those? They were Gazan journalists and reporters without borders, Gazan journalists. And they, some of them were accused of kind of going along with Hamas on October 7th. So there’s just that example. You also had, let me pull this up, forgive. There’s a lot I got to pull up and read. Because this is all, I mean, this is all recent. And it’s all out of numbers. Then you had Everytown for Gun Control. They received millions of dollars. Everytown for Gun Control. They received millions of dollars in taxpayer money. Now, keep in mind that They were one of the things that the gun control activists always criticized was they were livid and they said that the CDC was blocked from studying gun violence. Right. Remember that something that gun controllers have always said, even though that’s not actually true. The law, which was passed, you know, a number of years ago, never said they couldn’t study gun violence. What the law specifically stated. And we’ve read it on air a million times. I’m not doing it anymore. But the law specifically stated that government funds could not be used to advocate for or against gun ownership. That’s what they specifically said. And the left was livid because they weren’t given a blank check through government and they weren’t allowed to use the CDC and weaponize it to justify gun control. So they lied to everyone and said that they were blocked from studying gun violence when that’s literally not the letter of the law at all. They were so upset over this. But look at them taking millions of dollars here, their gun control groups, to actually advocate for confiscation, bans, the whole nine yards. Tons of them. And there’s a lot of data. There’s datarepublican.com where you can literally go through everything. Not kidding. Like there’s a whole website now that is dedicated to combing through everything. And they have graphs too. It’s very interesting. If the RNC doesn’t hire them, if Doge does not put these people to work, I don’t know what. and they have everything color-coded, so it’s high taxpayer funds alert if they’re getting a lot. I mean, it’s pretty amazing. But yeah, they had Everytown for Gun Safety. You also had the National Endowment for Democracy. They got tons and tons and tons and tons of taxpayer dollars. All kinds of stuff. This is exactly… This is where our money was going. All of this. But do you remember… During the discussion of relief after Hurricane Helene, do you remember when North Carolina was trying to deal with mudslides and they were trying to pick through the mud and the debris to see if there were any belongings that they had that could be saved? Or when loved ones went missing in floodwaters? when they were trying to find their neighbors under collapsed houses. And remember, they were told FEMA had no more money to get through the rest of the fiscal year. I mean, it just happens. They should really remember it well. There was a piece, a couple of pieces, including Red State, where they were reminding everybody, actually going back and recounting how you were the… The United States was able to settle how many illegal aliens coming in and all hotels like we were paying for. We’re paying to shelter illegal aliens in hotels. We’re paying for this. We’re for illegal aliens. We’re paying for that. But when it came to hurricane relief, when it came to helping people have, I don’t know, gas for generators, making sure because, you know, cold winters, making sure that people were being rescued in the Carolinas, they had FEMA had no more money for that. But they had all kinds of money. And USAID for everything else.
SPEAKER 1 :
Huh.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, a lot of money. Lot of money. That’s how much money. So much money. They’ve spent over a billion dollars just this year alone. Although now everything’s getting frozen. Biden spent a billion dollars on assistance for illegal immigrants in the last two years. It is called, and this is via Oilfield Rando, the Shelter and Services Program, $941 million in 2023 and 2024. Actually, it’s tipped up just a little bit over $1 billion. A billion, over a billion for illegal immigrants. But if you were an American citizen and you were caught in a mudslide due to a hurricane, blank you. Hmm. All the receipts are here. All the receipts are here. Now, I have a question because, you know, we’re spending, sending money to Ukraine, sending money to everywhere else, not helping people of natural disasters. And we’re helping illegal aliens. And then we’re also spending money to gun control groups. We’re giving millions. Let me do a quick clarification on the Politico thing because there were some people. who I think had good hearts, but they didn’t quite understand the breakdown of the money with Politico. And as a result, they were misinforming some people. Politico got over $8 million from USAID in one year. That was not spread out over nine years. It was $8.3 million in one year. One. The cost of their Politico Pro subscription was over $12,000. Wow. That would be like me charging you $12,000 for a Substack subscription. In addition to the eight plus whatever million that they got solely from USAID in one year. There were additional streams of revenue that totaled over $34 million that came in from a number of other government agencies, all taxpayer dollars still. But just that came through different agencies from USAID. So that’s why there’s a little confusion to that. It’s not that they got only $8 million over a 10-year period. And there were enough of you in my comments that were talking about this. And again, some people that I think whose hearts were in the right place, but that was incorrect with the information they were sharing. It was $8.3 million over a nine-year, not over a nine-year period, over a one-year period. The nine-year period, that is the 34, it was 34… 0.7 or something like that million that came in from too many federal agencies for me to list at this point, but a ton of other different. So altogether, it was over like 40 million what they ended up getting in taxpayer dollars. So I just wanted to clarify that because there was a lot of… And the question of the price of subscription, there were some people who were doing the math on it. Even if you were going… to the $8 million and just keeping it to that, you’re still looking at over $12,000. It’s like $12,888 per subscription. Do you realize that you can get a subscription to LexisNexis for like $300? Do you guys know what that is? So LexisNexis is like, reporters use LexisNexis. I’ve used it in college. It’s been around for a really long time. And it’s all one word, LexisNexis. And it’s a company they they have information and they have like data on everything court like legal stuff, court judgments, news articles like you can go into LexisNexis and find video or legal docs or something on any on anybody or anything. It’s like a professional clearinghouse. It’s like a professional repository of data analytics. Does that make sense? So, and you can get, it’s more useful than subscriptions, honestly. And it’s maybe a little over $300 a year. Everybody in a newsroom has a LexisNexis subscription. People who work for government agencies, like who are congressional staffers, et cetera, they have a LexisNexis subscription. And you can access anything for the entire time that anything’s been archived online. That’s the difference in what you’re getting. The $12,888 for a subscription to Politico Pro. Have you seen the stuff that they send out? Like my subscriptions are under $7. Right? For like a month. It’s crazy. These are political pro. Their quote-unquote pro subscriptions were just regurgitated news articles and a couple of links. And they wanted to charge people over $12,000 a year for that. And the excuse was, well, it’s government agencies. And of course government agencies are going to subscribe to this because they’re going to want to know what’s going on. No, no, no. The political pro thing was a subsidy of Democrats in government to better place stories for them. That’s what it was about. And they were… laundering money and grifting money off of it all at the same time, our money, our taxpayer dollars. So that’s the breakdown of that. I wanted to correct some of the misinformation. But there’s a lot more out there because this has been the piggy bank that the progressive elite have used to go after all of us for years and to watch this finally be torn down and They’ve been unaccountable for decades, which, before we go to break, here’s my question I want you to think about. If USAID has been doing this since the 60s, since its inception, and they’ve been unaccountable for decades, like we spent $9 million teaching Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary gendered language, by the way. Let me ask you this. Where in the ever-loving hell was House Oversight? Why did Mike Johnson go ahead and co-sign and allow Biden’s budgets that funded all of this to go through, even when Republicans control the House? It’s a question I want you to think about as we go to break. We have a lot still to come. With everything going on in the world right now, the economy, conflicts, the open border, spiraling national debt, the devastating inflation, it’s critical that you have a plan for diversifying and protecting your savings. And that’s why so many, including myself, have turned to precious metals like gold and silver to help protect our savings.

SPEAKER 14 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 02 :
So look, the U.S. Border Patrol, we know how to get the job done. We know how to secure the border. All we needed was a president that was going to empower us, a strong leader like President Trump, and then a secretary like Secretary Noem that knows exactly what we need to do to secure the border. We’re seeing almost a 90% decrease in illegal entries since January the 21st. Not only that, but our criminal prosecutions of those we’re apprehending is up almost 52%.
SPEAKER 01 :
Hmm. Can you just I’m I’m not going to we’re going to be touching off and on on this USAID thing for the rest of forever. Can you just imagine if we have relocated some of that money to the border? Think about it. How many times have you heard that Border Patrol didn’t have the money? How many times did you I’ve been at the border? I can tell you. I’ve been down there when I literally watched a Border Patrol agent come back from Walmart with a bag of diapers because there were people bringing little bitty kids across and they had nothing. Or it would be coyotes dragging random babies. I’m not even kidding. Random babies like two and three-year-olds. You guys have seen these stories before. We were sitting in Border Patrol offices and literally one guy came in having just gone to Walmart, used his own money. Because there was no money. They had no more money to add more boots on the ground. They couldn’t even add more vehicles. They needed to add more vehicles. I mean, this stuff, it’s mind-blowing. Oh, my gosh. But you guys, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. This is what you had money for. We paid. Oh, man. I’m going to have to get into this next hour. Wait until you hear some of what we did pay for. Oh, yeah, that’s all coming up. Yes, go ahead, get you a coffee, get you a soda, get you some tea, and then you come up and pull up a chair.

SPEAKER 06 :
We have convened here in the right place the Treasury Department. We have got to tell Elon Musk nobody elected your ass. Nobody told you you could get all of our private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge of the payments of this country. We have told you you’ve made enough money off our government yourself.
SPEAKER 01 :
Whenever Maxine Waters talks, it sounds exactly like what you think it would sound like if someone reanimated a corpse and then pushed air through its chest to verbalize barely literate thoughts. It sounds like it, right? It’s like Frankenstein. Remember that? That was a good one. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That was their little thing that they had the other day where you had again, who’s that lawmaker who thinks it’s Easter and he’s wearing his Easter suit. He stuffed his fat ass in that little pastel suit. I mean, it’s like bursting. You can barely button the one button. Welcome back. You’re living Daria. Dana Lash here with you. Which, by the way, as soon as it gets warm, my brother from another mother, Sergio, sent me a Daria shirt. I need to send him a giant bunch of, like, scotch as a thank you. I’m going to wear it as soon as it’s warm enough because it’s under 80 degrees, so it’s freezing in Texas today as far as I’m concerned. Freezing today. I’m literally in a sweater. It’s 76 degrees outside. Nobody’s got time for that. So welcome. Welcome to the program. You can find some stuff, good stuff, over at Substack, Chapter and Verse. Of course, YouTube, Facebook, the chats at Rumble. If Rumble’s working today, I don’t know. I guess I’ve got to get shares to get a… I mean today. I mean, I recovered from the flu, although I’ve been saying that now for a few days. I still am. But I’m mostly just mad over all of this. With these lawmakers that are livid, they’re like, no one elected Elon Musk. Well, guess what? No one elected 88,000 IRS agents either. Hey, guess what? No one elected these bureaucrats in USAID to go and spend millions upon millions upon millions upon millions of our taxpayer dollars on all this nonsense. No one elected any of that. No one elected any of the stuff that’s outside of Article 1, Section 8. They get out there and bray like jackasses. I’m sorry for the Portuguese, but I am not Dora the Explorer. I’m not entertaining y’all’s kids. Can I also play this? So this is Chris Coons, who decided to have a might-all moment. Listen to this nonsense. Audio Summit 16.
SPEAKER 05 :
USAID saves lives, makes peace, protects our planet, stabilizes our world, does great work. Let’s cheer for the million women of USAID. If Doge wins and our foreign aid is completely shut down, If Elon Musk wins and our foreign assistance completely ends, who will cheer and who will win? The cartels will win, terrorists will win, Russia will win, China will win. The chiefs will win. This effort is not efficient, it is not sane, it is not respectful, and it does not make America safe.
SPEAKER 01 :
Gosh, can you imagine? I mean, if we do not pay $6.3 million to study men having sex with other men in South Africa, the cartels are going to win, Cain.
SPEAKER 16 :
What does he have against accountability?
SPEAKER 01 :
If you’re not paying $11 million to study the health effects of flavored cigarettes on fat lesbians, then you know what? The terrorists are going to win. Those terrorists are out there going, oh, man. We were going to be successful to go after the devil America. But then they defunded studying fat lesbians and flavored cigarettes, those damn Westerners. And they cry into their goats. I mean, if only. If only. We were studying, of all the places, gayness in Uganda. We paid guys, guys and girls, we paid over $5.5 million to study gay sex in Uganda. Okay, I’m not a rocket scientist, but I know a little something about something, okay? Can I just say that the same gendered romantical issues have been around since the ancient Greeks, It’s been around for a long time. Why does it need to be studied in 2024? In 23? Why does it need to be studied in today’s era? Why? I mean, would you like more? There’s a lot of LGBT stuff. A lot of T stuff in here. We… Oh, we paid. Let’s see. Oh, boy. I mean, when I say there’s a lot of the so we apparently promoted gay advocacy in Jamaica. There’s two million. We spent over two million to promote alphabet equality through entrepreneurship in Latin America. Yeah, I’m pretty sure the reason someone can’t make a business work is because they choose to have sex with somebody who has the same parts. I’m real sure that’s it. Wow, I was going to be able to create a business here in Latin America, but then I couldn’t because I’m a dude that likes having sex with other dudes. It’s totally stopped me from making that happen. I can’t do the business stuff. I don’t know how to deal with business in numbers because of the gay sex. I can’t do it. Is that what it is? Do you see how stupid this is? It’s that dumb. There’s more, though. Yeah, there’s a lot more. We paid, what? Oh, they had a climate strategy. That was a nice $150 billion. A whole agency approach to building an equitable world with net zero greenhouse gas emissions. You know how you get net zero? Everybody’s dead. Kill all the people. This is like some Skynet stuff. Ooh, you know what? Sidebar. What if climate change, what if AI has already been weaponized and we don’t even know it? What if it’s already here and it’s working against us and we don’t even know it? Think about this for a minute. Sidebar again. Pause the professional lady radio show for a second. What if Cain is all about this right now.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m liking all this right now.
SPEAKER 01 :
What if, just saying, all of the warnings about AI are way late. AI is already here. It’s already malevolent. It’s already weaponized against us. And it is entertained by the fact that we don’t know it. And it wants us to think that it hasn’t reached that point yet. Because think about the climate change stuff and the net zero. The only way to make that happen is to kill all of us. You know that, right? The only way to have net zero is to kill all life on Earth. That’s, huh. I mean, if I were a robot that hated humans, what way would I possibly be able to promote euthanization amongst their species and have these dumbasses buy into it? Oh, this. Climate change. I’m just going to go on a limb and theorize that climate change is an AI strategy to eliminate humans. And there you have it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Welcome.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, my.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s all I’m saying. Welcome.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m not totally serious, but I’m halfway there.
SPEAKER 16 :
You’re not totally serious?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, I’m kind of there.
SPEAKER 15 :
I still welcome you.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, this just makes sense. I mean, think about it. You have people like AOC. Remember when she came out with her climate thing and literally had cow farts in it? I mean, I’m not kidding. It was like she mentioned cow flatulence. Flatulence. And that, I mean, she’s the type of person who would totally be duped by a robot. There is no weaponized AI here. She would believe. She’d believe it totally. She would totally believe it. So, I mean, I have so much more here. This is all, oh my gosh. We also pay, let’s see. We paid for gay causes in the Western Balkans. That was $4 million. Okay. Why? I have no idea. We paid $2 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem. We, there’s a, oh man, there’s a lot of alphabet stuff. Armenia alphabet stuff, Arab alphabet stuff. Oh, oh, oh. We paid, someone make this make sense. Two and a half million for quote, artisanal small scale gold mining in the Amazon. Okay, so one of the things I’m going to do right now is I know Todd Hoffman. Gold Rush. And I’m going to ask him, WTF is this? Artisanal. I want to know because he’s an expert on this. Artisanal.
SPEAKER 15 :
Live radio.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m literally texting this right now. Huh?
SPEAKER 15 :
Live radio, everybody.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, well, I mean, this is so stupid. What is artisanal? What is that? Artisanal gold mining.
SPEAKER 16 :
I know what artisanal bread is.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, artisanal bread is, they say rustic because it looks stupid. It looks rough and dumb. And they call it rustic. By the way, that’s what they call things. If you’re like a crappy artist, they call it like rustic. Oh, this is rustic. No, it’s just crap. That’s what it is. Right? It’s like the whole phrase shabby chic. That was just white drenched poverty. Like the color white, not like white skin. I just, so I’m like, WTF is this? Two and a half million for artisanal small scale gold mining. What is artisanal gold mining? So we’re going to find out. What is, yeah. So I’ll let you know when I get an answer on that. Because if anybody would know, it would be Todd Hoffman from Gold Rush. Right? Out of all the things I’ve ever, I mean, how weird is it that you have a very specific question and then you’re like, oh wait, I know a very specific person that was literally made to answer that question. So it’s going to be hysterical, his answer. Probably won’t be able to read it as is on air, but I’ll let you know. So this is just this, why did we need to do that? I mean, I’m sorry, Mr. Government, a hurricane came through and a mudslide destroyed my house and killed everyone in my community. That’s great. Here’s $700. Meanwhile, we have to go pay $2.5 million for artisanal gold mining in the Amazon. You know what artisanal suggests? Hippie, patchouli, dumb, small scale. That’s what it means. Like to such a small niche that the process of extraction is not even covered by the sale of the product. That’s what artisanal is. Would you like some artisanal bread? Bread that someone with dirty hands made in their own kitchen and then brought to the store and said it was artisanal. It’s artisanal. I could do this all day long. So, yes, it’s supposed to be made in a traditional non-mechanized way. Okay, if they’re doing not, is that what it means, non-mechanized gold mining? So what are you just sending, like in Congo, are you just sending kids to claw the dirt with their hands? Does it make it special-er because you didn’t use machines to go dig your nuggets? Jesus, that’s so stupid. I can’t even deal with these people. This is our government. It’s our government. So, yeah, I mean, you know, those are the people in Hawaii that had everything burned down. Boy, but they’re feeling sorry, guys. You got to live amongst the ashes and ruin. Even though you paid in in a high tax state, all these taxes and got nothing in terms of emergency services on the investment of your tax dollars. We got to go study fat lesbians and flavored cigarettes. I mean, come on. It’s going to change the world. Sure. We have more on the, I hate everything. We have more on the way. Why are we paying taxes? Like what happens if we just all not pay taxes? Is the IRS going to show up with guns to my door because I said it? My husband’s like, don’t talk because we get targeted every year since Biden’s been in office. I’m not even exaggerating. My husband’s like, don’t talk about any of those because they’ll just target us harder. Target is harder, daddy. I feel like I want to talk about it more. You know, I’ll help make it easier. What I’ll do is I’ll get a giant banner that has a middle finger on it. And I’ll place it on the roof of my house. And when the IRS is spying on us with their IRS satellites, they’ll see it. Then come get me faster. All right. We got a lot more on the way. I know I got to get moving or you guys are going to scream as we move.

SPEAKER 16 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 01 :
You guys want to hear a stupid headline? Yes, Dana, we always want to hear dumb headlines. Okay, so this headline over at MarketWatch was written by a guy who probably can’t math. And he says, corporate profits are near all-time highs while wages are near lows. How long can it last? You are describing inflation. You walking mental abortion. The happiest time of day, according to science. You know who wrote this? Hitler. The happiest time of day, according to science, they say it’s the morning. I am not a morning person. I don’t like to be touched, looked at, talked to in the morning. Just leave me alone. I sit in a corner somewhere dark and I hiss. Until the caffeine takes effect fully. People think you’re joking. Yeah, I’m not actually. I’m dead serious. I just sit like Gollum in a corner. Chris just, you know, he comes in. We have this coffee machine that I can’t work because there’s like, it looks like a Willy Wonka product. There’s like tubes and a horn and I don’t know what the hell else on this thing. I don’t… And he has to make the coffee, and then he just slides it. He pushes it with a stick across the floor to my corner where I’m at. And I take it. Anyway, they say the mornings are the happiest times of day, according to Hitler. Scientists. Let’s see. A kid’s toy leaves people screaming inappropriate. I’ll be the judge of that. So… They say that it’s a dog character that’s hiding a bone in a pouch in its stomach. If you think that there’s a hint of phallus in there, yeah, you’d be correct. All right, we got to move. A lot more on the way. Stick with us.

On the go and need a quick news fix with a fun twist? Follow Dana’s Absurd Truth Podcast for bite-sized informative episodes perfect for your busy schedule on Apple or wherever you get your podcast.
SPEAKER 01 :
I have a collection of amusing stories for you that you all are going to enjoy. So the first one… Why are you laughing already? I haven’t even said anything. I don’t know. Kane and I have been the Regina Georges of the internet over here on break. Kane is like a really good catty girlfriend. So you’re like laughing like, I don’t know if that’s a compliment.
SPEAKER 15 :
I try.
SPEAKER 01 :
So have you guys heard of Michigan State Representative Laurie Pohutsky? Have you heard of Ms. Pohutsky?
SPEAKER 16 :
Sure haven’t.
SPEAKER 01 :
Poe Hutzky. You haven’t heard of her? Not once. Okay, so she’s 37 years old. And she’s opted to be voluntarily sterilized because she was uncertain that if she slept with someone in the future and got knocked up, that she wouldn’t be able to abort her baby. So she’s sterilizing herself because she doesn’t know if she’s going to be able to kill her baby in the future. I mean, I’ve seen her, Ms. Pohutsky, and I will just echo the sentiments of another commenter, listener, saying that the first time that she would ever be with, I mean, she was ever with somebody, it’d probably have been her first time. 37-year-old Democrat, Laurie Pohutsky, she says that it’s President Trump’s fault that She said, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would, literally when she released the statement, said I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America. I refuse to let my body be treated as a currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate. Okay, can I just stop her right there? No one has any value in your ability to procreate. We don’t put any value on that. I mean, have you seen you? I’m not being, you know, I am actually. I just sometimes it just needs to be stated very simply. And if it sounds harsh, that’s not my problem. I don’t think anyone’s worried about your old ass eggs. Nobody cares. You’re 37 years old. You would be considered like a geriatric pregnancy, which is weird, but it’s true. And I don’t think that anybody cares. The world is not going to lose a. Not going to lose a Leonardo da Vinci. I don’t think we’re getting that from you. Just we’re not getting that quality. So I don’t think we were worried. I don’t think we care. I just feel like she did us a favor by, you know, voluntarily engaging a natural selection. I am OK if all of these types of women want to go ahead and sterilize themselves. I love the idea that. The expectation is. of responsibility is considered you being treated as a currency. This is mall rat logic. What in the world is this? So she thinks that she refuses to let her body be treated as a currency. Sorry, but if you’re out there sleeping with everything that has a pulse, you’re treating yourself as a currency, number one. Number two, it’s crazy that we have people in these United States that still don’t know how babies are made. You know, it’s not like there’s a magical stork that pops a baby in your belly. Sorry if anybody’s kids are listening. Again, I am not. Big Bird, do not treat me as a babysitting element because your kids will pick up some really bad habits fast. So, like independent thinking. So, we know where babies come from, right? We all know this. We all know where babies come from. Apparently, what’s her face again? Pohutsky. Laurie Pohutsky does not know where babies come from. She just thinks, I guess, that Republicans are trying to make her get pregnant because they are telling her. Yeah, after you get knocked up and you can’t wait around until you’re like seven months pregnant and then, you know, dissolve your baby in utero with acid. It’s really not how we’re doing things anymore. You know, it’s the new 2025, for crying out loud. I mean, we don’t throw virgins in volcanoes and cure people with bleeding either. So, you know, pretty sure we don’t have to go be dissolving no babies in utero. Sorry, it’s 2025. So she says that she never wants to navigate a pregnancy in Trump’s America. So she sterilized herself. I think that’s a great decision for her. I love that for her. Don’t you love that for her, Cain? That’s so great that she did that.
SPEAKER 16 :
I want to send her a thank you card.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yes, thank you. Thank you for not treating our gene pool like the punch bowl in which you, the turd, wanted to jump into. We’re so thankful for that.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s great. And thank you for being responsible enough to know that you cannot control yourself on a physical level so that you have to actually end up doing this to yourself because you can’t control yourself.
SPEAKER 01 :
I am totally fine with sterilizing. If you want to sterilize yourself because you think you might kill a baby later, then go ahead. It’s all right. We’re for that. Go ahead. Yeah, good for her. I mean, I guess she thought this was a flex. We actually, we like it. Turns out we like that stuff. Sorry. All right, so, oh, but wait, I have more. What’s the other one that I had? We got Poe Hudson. Oh, my gosh. All right, this chick. Oh, jeez. So, normally we’re very nice people, but today we have an assortment of stories that really demand the sort of Daria-esque… Frankness that you all love me for. Right. So have you heard of Democrat influencer Olivia Juliana? No, you haven’t because you have a life. She says even though she was posting about being on Ozempic on TikTok, she claims that she lost 50 pounds because she can’t afford to eat. Since Trump won the election, Juan’s getting ready to show you Ms. Olivia Juliana. She says she can’t afford to eat in Trump’s election, considering the amount of calories it must take to sustain her a day. Most people probably could not afford to eat. And since anybody wins any election, if you were her. Say something nice. Her eyebrows aren’t bad. And Kane appreciated the way that she held the microphone.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 01 :
Probably because she didn’t want to gnaw her own fingers off, you said. But she’s holding the mic properly, so we’ll give her that. I really don’t think I’m going to allow someone who looks like they swallowed a tire to lecture the rest of us about the economy in Trump’s America. We’re going to be seeing, and I’m just waiting. I mean, inflation already, the markets responded wonderfully to the different, the change in the regime, so to speak. And if you can’t afford to eat in this economy with every, I mean, first off, you clearly aren’t making healthy decisions as it is right now. If you can’t, she can’t afford to eat, but she can afford a manicure. She can afford them acrylic nails that she’s wearing. She can’t afford to eat, but she’s got all the latest clothes on. She can’t afford to eat, but she’s probably got about $60 worth of Sephora on her face. But she can’t afford to eat?
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m struggling to know of an economy where she could afford it. Whose economy? Tell me whose economy she’d be able to afford that.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah. So and she’s a big abortion activist, too, and all this. But she the other thing is, too, they busted her on TikTok because she was showing off the fact that she was on Ozempic. Isn’t that stuff expensive? Like, I mean, don’t you have to be prescribed it for like diabetes in order for it to be covered by your insurance? So unless she has that, then what? I mean, she literally was on TikTok showing off the fact that she was on Ozempic, and then she said it was fake news, which it wasn’t. She lost weight because she was injecting herself with Ozempic.
SPEAKER 16 :
Ozempic has a list price of around $1,000 per month.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, my gosh. So you really do have to be, like, prescribed it by your doctor.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, depending on what your insurance covers or doesn’t cover, that can be the out-of-pocket cost.
SPEAKER 01 :
Jeez. Yeah, so it sounds like she can afford to eat in Trump’s America. I mean, if you can afford that, you can. It’s just so stupid. Now, here’s the third dumb thing. You’re going to like this. Have you guys heard about the attack on Lego? Lego’s homophobic now. Did you guys know that? Because of the bricks, the way the bricks are made. Yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
I think no matter what sex you are, you step on those things, it hurts.
SPEAKER 01 :
So London Science Museum says that Lego bricks are anti-LGBT. First off, I feel like that again, once again, the L’s and the G’s and the B’s are like, why are we in this? Why are you like throwing us in here? It’s always the T’s that claim all the other letters and then act offended for everybody else. So it is a self-guided tour. at the United Kingdom Science Museum, and they’re accusing Lego of reinforcing heteronormativity. What the hell is that? A made-up word by crazy people. They said that it’s self-guided towards called seeing things queerly. Oh, great. And apparently you’re supposed to see everything through the perspective of how you choose to have sex. And then they look at Lego, and they said Lego is anti-LGBT, Oh, here’s the, now here’s, Here it is. Quote, like other connectors and fasteners, Lego bricks are often described in a gendered way. The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male. The bottom of the brick with the holes to receive the pins is female. And the process of the two sides being put together is called mating. This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics unrelated to gender, sex, and reproduction. Blah, blah, blah. We’re crazy. So they’re mad because the bricks have to fit a certain way. That’s like when one of my kids was a toddler and they got mad at me because I wouldn’t let them run out into the street. I was like, that’s bad for you. And they got mad and I was the worst mom ever because I would not let my kid run out in the middle of the street and get flattened by a car. Oh my gosh. I was a horrible mom. I’m so mean. I’m sorry when you get run over by a vehicle and your gut’s all over the road. So I’m horrible. I feel like this is like that stupid, right? Like the Lego people are supposed to go, wow, we’re sorry that in the… Reality of this world in which we all exist that our bricks fit together a certain way Sorry that I How else are Legos supposed to work
SPEAKER 16 :
This opens the door to other industries, though. We’re talking about if you have a power cord, like an extension cord, one end is a female, the other end’s a male. It’s the same with any audio cords, the XLR cords or the quarter-inch cords. There’s a female and a male end. So this will not end with just Legos if this is what they’re doing now. This is absurdity.
SPEAKER 01 :
If you could just read my thoughts right now.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, no.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m so glad we know Brennan Carr. So everything that goes in something else… is anti-LGBT. I feel like the LGBs are like, we don’t care. And the T’s are like, we’re offended for everybody. Doesn’t it seem that way? I got to tell you, I don’t know a single gay person that gets upset by any of this stuff. But you know what does make them mad? The T’s going out there and acting like, oh, well, this is an attack on the gays and trans. And the gays are like, it’s not actually at all an attack on the gays. It’s just you’re a freak. Doesn’t it seem like that? Like stopping freaks. So they’re upset over the way the bricks work. And so the bricks are anti. I mean, they’re complaining about how the tubes on the bottom interlock with the studs on the top of the bricks. They’re upset with that. And they’re upset that that Lego says that, quote, the studs get neatly wedged in between the tubes and the sides of the brick, making them stick together firmly. They’re like, that’s anti LGBT. Oh, my gosh. Do they just get paid to just sit around and be stupid all day? Is that where all the other USAID money is going for?
SPEAKER 16 :
Let me ask you this. If you looked at those bricks and one side is the bumpy side, they call the male side, and the other side is the receiving side, the female side. What if you put both female sides together? Would the bricks stay together?
SPEAKER 01 :
No, they don’t. It’s so weird. Would there be any integrity there? No. If they’re so upset about it, why don’t everything that fits together in a certain way, let’s just upend it and then let’s have the world work the way they want to. I mean, wouldn’t they want to ride into a vehicle built according to their specifications? I am all for that. Let them walk across bridges built like that. Take elevators. I mean, think about it. There’s no structural integrity. What does it matter? As long as you’re not offending the T’s, right? Everything is so stupid. I mean, if they’re mad over the bricks, wait until they learn about male and female genitals. I’m just saying. It’s just wild. All right, we got to get moving. As we do so, our partners, folks who… Folks who I don’t even know how we’re going to segue. There’s no way to segue our partners. This is an interesting partner because when they first came up to me, I was like, let’s talk a little bit. I because I’m always going to tell people I’m going to carry. I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. I train. I know the drill. But I have friends like I have a very good friend who’s very conservative. She works in the press corps in Washington, D.C. She got one of the very difficult to get licensed to carry there, but she can’t carry anywhere. One of the things she can do though, and she went out and got this, is a Berna gun. It’s a non-firearm firearm. Berna SD is the most popular model. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. I just think it’s all, you got knives, you know, everybody gets blades, you get, you know, different kinds of calibers. It’s always good to diversify your weapons, your self-defense array.

SPEAKER 16 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 01 :
So I got a couple. This is the one I had yesterday, but we ran out of time. A woman at an event called Bark in the Park. It’s Miami Marlins. It was a matchup against the Braves. This was last spring. Some of these stadiums do this. So they had a bark in the park. So it’s a promotion where the fans can bring their dogs with them to watch a baseball game. And for one woman, her name is Luann Hahn. She… apparently slipped in dog pee and fell and is blaming the Marlins. She filed a suit for a lot of damages. She said she was walking around and she slipped on dog urine and fell. The existence of liquid on the floor created an unreasonable, dangerous and unsafe condition. Um, I think that’s dumb. She says that she slipped in an area where dogs were prohibited. They’re disputing this. I just think maybe if they bring dogs in and you’re walking around, don’t be a dumb bee and watch where you’re walking. Okay? Also, it’s a ballpark. It’s a ballpark.
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s going to be liquid on the floor at some point anywhere.
SPEAKER 01 :
These kind of lawsuits drive up costs for everybody. Like, tort reform is a real thing. This is stupid. I hope she loses. That’s dumb. Yeah, I hope you do lose, Luanne. Let’s see. She’s making me feel like this lady. A woman is accused of throwing grease at customers in Port St. Lucie. Oh, boy. Two victims said the restaurant’s manager… Irene, threw ranch dressing and hot grease at them. But the victims had burns on their skin. And they said the altercation began when the victims caused the scene and knocked over a container of straws. So Irene got in trouble. She got charged with aggravated battery, etc., I just think she was trying to Waffle House it. You know what I mean? Like she was trying to control it Waffle House style. There’s an art to it, lady. There’s an art to it. You got to watch. You got to go to school of Waffle House beatdowns first. A Florida man led officers on a horse chase through a busy intersection. This poor horse. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, this guy, Jordan Wilson, tried to make a run for it after he was witnessed handing off illegal drugs. There was one police service horse, Nash, that galloped into action. Okay, so they chased this guy. All right, so if the police are with the horse, the horse likes to run. It’s always criminals that are on horses. I get nervous because it never ends well for the horse. They stayed on this guy for a quarter mile and the guy finally surrendered. He was booked, charged with resisting an officer without violence. Yeah, because he was like selling drugs. Like if you’re passing off opioids and fentanyl and meth, you absolutely should be run down by a horse. Let’s see this. I got a couple of other ones. Oh, a Florida woman was arrested for throwing condiments and then running over her ex-boyfriend with a Range Rover. I love how they got the Range Rover in the headline. It’s not just a car. It’s just a Range Rover. Yoshabel Edward, 19, was arrested after the incident unfolded at a apartment parking lot. She threw eggs at her boyfriend’s car, doused the vehicle with condiments, and then tried to hit him with a Range Rover. Ouch. She was arrested. Victims was in the hospital because he got hit. He had fractures. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. Our partners over at ReadyWise. They’re ready even if you are not.

SPEAKER 13 :
Larry, look, President Trump has a mandate. He came in to do big things. And one of the big things that this administration wants to do is make the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. And that permanency will continue to make the U.S. the number one economy in the world in terms of growth. We’re going to bring down inflation. We’re going to cut regulations. And we are going to get the tax cut The goal is still for them to be made permanent.
SPEAKER 01 :
So that is I mean, that’s good news. That was my has always been my one big critique of that plan was that it wasn’t permanent. That was like actually one of my biggest criticisms. I had like of Trump’s first tenure. I had three issues, the gun thing. And then I wanted that to be permanent because that was such a good move. And I wanted more bureaucracy cutting because he started off so strong. He started off this. I mean, so far he’s doing really good. He’s doing really great. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. And this is the Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. He was targeted by the left. I mean, they were going at him. I mean, they were trying to kill him. It was wild. That’s huge. You know what else needs to happen? And I don’t care if Trump does this with an EO. Withholding needs to end. End withholding. I want everyone to have to write a check to the IRS or to the treasury. End withholding. You will see people change real quick on taxation. We don’t go far enough. What we learned with USAID and all of this other stuff, and we’ve known, I mean, how long has this been going on? And I’m going to get to that in a moment, is that this is taxation without representation. It absolutely is. And we are spending an ungodly amount of money unsustainably on propaganda, on warfare, essentially, against other Americans here in the United States over their political affiliations. Billions and billions of dollars are being spent on this. At this point, what Trump needs to do is not only Go ahead and make it permanent. Make tax cuts permanent. Start there. Because you’re going to need an act of Congress to do what I want done. I have an executive order. Ends withholding immediately. And then start work abolishing the IRS. We’re done. Federal income tax is extortion. It’s criminal. It is extortion of the American people where a government agency declares that they are owed some of your money and under threat of killing you with guns that they have, you will pay them or they’ll make your life hell. I also personally think that every single person who works within the department, and this is, my husband’s always like, don’t talk about this because they’ll target us. They’ve targeted us every single day since Biden’s been in office. You guys don’t even know half the stuff that you guys would… And I can only imagine the number of other conservatives in the IRS depends on all of us not talking about it. They absolutely weaponize it against conservatives. Oh, that’s a God given fact. That’s not that’s not anecdotal. That’s what some of us are living. Some of us have had to take them to court and won. So it’s a big deal. It’s a very big deal. They the whole department needs to be abolished. And everyone who oversaw these programs, I think, should be put in prison. Oh, you don’t even understand how far I would go. Oh, I would put them in prison for the rest of their lives. I would have some of these people who carry this out literally have to see their children behind plexiglass for the rest of their lives. No mercy, no quarter. I would have the punishment so severe that any other politician would be terrified to enact something similar and every other person on God’s green earth would be terrified to work in such an agency for something like this happening again. It is wild. All of this. I mean, I have literally paid with my tax dollars. I paid for hit pieces in media on me. I paid gun control groups with the six figures that I pay in mid six figures that I pay in taxes a year. I’ve paid gun control groups to target me. I’ve seen my friends pay taxes and I’ve watched the same people that they that have gotten USAID money, AP, all these other Politico right hit pieces on these people. call you all racists because you voted a certain way. Because you didn’t want perverts in your daughter’s locker rooms. So this absolutely is taxation without representation. So Trump needs to not only make this permanent, but he needs to have an executive order to end withholding and then spearhead it through the House. These executive orders, here’s the thing, he’s only in office for four years. They got to follow all of this stuff up with legislation. Otherwise, you’re going to get you could potentially get a Gavin Newsom in. And guess what? He’s going to reverse everything, just like Trump has been reversing everything that Biden did. That’s why you got to be careful of these EOs. So you start with an EO, you follow it up with legislative action. So that way it makes it harder. You can’t just, if you have an EO that was given and it was followed up with the statutory authority of Congress, you’re not going to be able to undo it with an EO. So they’ve got to be able to follow up in that manner. So start, make these permanent, have an executive order to end withholding effective immediately, follow up with abolishing the IRS congressionally, then replace it with, I don’t know, what, a fair tax? I mean, I’m totally open. I like the idea of a consumption tax because everybody’s got to pay no matter what. I do like the idea of a graduated consumption tax on certain items. Make it simple. But a consumption tax is where it’s at. Here’s the thing. The issue isn’t the tax revenue. The issue is spending. Because the federal government is only, under Article I, Section 8, allowed to do so much. Everything else after that is the responsibility of the states. And even in the 60s, when tax rates were lowered to like the lowest point, government revenue was at a record high because they make money through that capital, that market transactions. They make money from that. I mean, it’s wildly that people who are economically illiterate are setting these policies and they are in direct opposition to what their stated goal is. They want revenue for the government, but then they’re doing the thing that provides them with the least amount of revenue. I’ve never understood that. But they spin, spin, spin, spin. So, yeah, and as Cain said, there’s no reason for us to be $36 trillion in debt. There’s no reason. If we rolled everything back to what the federal government was allowed to do, states handle state issues, and we had just a consumption tax, we would actually be rolling in revenue. But it takes some balls to do it, and the Republicans don’t have it. Don’t think for a second that because we have all the power right now that I’m still happy with Republicans. And yes, by way of me being an American patriot, it is within my DNA to always be antagonistic towards my government. That’s what a real patriot does. We’re not kiss asses and we don’t bend knees. We are always antagonistic like our founders were before us towards the government that creates a healthy relationship. People who don’t believe that way and think that you shouldn’t be are Marxist and they’re traitors to the conservative cause. So that being said. EO to end withholding, abolish the IRS, have a consumption tax, but you’re not going to have Republicans do it. Why is it that we were controlling the House for two years and there wasn’t a single thing done about all this USAID stuff? I mean, when Joni Ernst was telling everybody a couple of years ago that she was asking for receipts from USAID and they refused to comply, why wasn’t the full hammer of the House weight brought to bear on them? Why? Why was Speaker Johnson just, you know, willingly all co-signing all Biden’s budgets? Why? I’m not saying this for any other reason than why. I don’t care about the power jockeying with these idiots in D.C. I don’t care. I don’t care who gets invited to whose little stupid cocktail party. I don’t care who’s cheating on their wife at whatever, you know, other little event at CPAC or whatever. I don’t care. I want to know why nothing was done. It makes zero point to go out and flex and own the libs and do all this other stuff on social media if you can’t do this stuff in meat space. What does owning somebody or flexing, what does that do to get me my tax dollars back, your tax dollars back? So that’s the other question. What are Republicans going to do with this? I mean, I know there’s a lot more and I want to see everything that we’ve wasted our money on. But what I also want to see from Republicans at this point is what they’re going to do about it. I mean, we have enough receipts out there where we know we have been abused and our money has been stolen. What are Republicans going to do about it right now? Great. They’re freezing stuff. That’s great. That’s a good start. But what’s going to what else? I need more. I need more. I want to know what Republicans are going to do about this. You know, you have all these people freaking out over Elon Musk. And I wish some of these Republicans were a little louder. Okay, so here’s the dilemma. I want to ask you guys a question. Because I don’t like to, I feel like I’m in third grade even talking about this. I hate Facebook. As I get older, I’m like more cynical. So there’s some people, and Kane, we both know some of the same people, that we’re friendly with but are stupidly left. Yeah. But they’re still kind of nice to you. So I have this one friend who and we’ve known them for a long time and they’ve been losing their mind over Elon Musk and Doge all over Facebook. Now on my personal page, I don’t get political, but I have really whittled down the number of friends that I have on my personal page to just people that I know. Because there were people who were trying to sell photos of my kids off of my personal page. I mean, they actually were. I caught people trying to do it. I would make it to posts where only that person. I mean, I literally pulled like a Wagatha Christie, like Colleen Rooney. It was wild. So I had to be really careful about this stuff. So there’s one person that I know that hasn’t done it, but they’re still on the left. And they’ve been freaking out over Elon Musk. Like, can you believe this guy is totally unelected? And he’s looking at, he has access to our social security numbers and our tax and he’s going on and on. This person was not outraged at all at the hiring of 88,000 bureaucrats at the IRS. This person has not expressed any outrage at all. over what the money that Elon Musk and Doge caught, what it’s being used for. They’re just mad that Elon Musk and some nerds are going in and slashing and finding this stuff, and they’re losing their minds. They’re like, oh, here, call your lawmakers about this, and they’re all trying to organize. And they’re really misrepresenting the power and the authority that Musk and these nerds have. So I don’t know if you know this, only some of them have access to all of these records. And even then, it’s read-only access. And even then, they already had to sign like different federal NDAs and all this other stuff. So they are held to the same account that anybody else normally that would be working into those departments would be held to. They’d be held to the same standard. But again, I reemphasize, this is a read-only access and it’s only a couple of them. Why is that a bigger deal than the fact that you had hundreds of people that had all of our information? Don’t tell me that they haven’t weaponized it against us because I’ve had the IRS weaponized against me. For years, every time a Democrat has been in office, it’s weird how it doesn’t happen when Republicans are in office. Do you know that? I’m not kidding you guys. And I’m not the only one. Every, with the exception of two people, Every other I know every other conservative that I personally know and I’m friends with that works in this industry is dealing with the same thing. That is how bad and widespread it is. My end of my friend did not say anything about that. So here’s my question. I’m tired of reading their stupid nonsense. Do I just unfriend them? I just don’t have the patience for it anymore. I’m all right with my circle being smaller. You know what I mean? Like, if you’re that damn stupid, why do I want you in my life? You know what I mean? Is that mean? Weigh in, Cain, real quick with the 20 seconds we have.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, no, it makes sense. It’s a natural reaction. You kind of want to be, you know, open and love everybody, but sometimes it gets tough.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m like, B, you didn’t say anything when, you know, 88,000 IRS agents to go after you for Venmo. You haven’t said anything about that, but you’re losing your mind and you’re acting like it’s a constitutional crisis. Shut up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Their logic doesn’t, it doesn’t fly.

SPEAKER 01 :
So, in Missouri, the state launches the Doge Portal and asked residents to help identify wasteful spending. I mean, it would be great if we’re… Look… Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy that Democrats aren’t in charge. But don’t ever think for one second that I’m ever going to let Republicans off the hook for anything. Why now are they doing this? I mean, what the hell do we send them to Washington to do? What do we send them to Washington to do if not this? So now they’re like, oh, gosh, we had no idea. Here’s a portal, guys. Can you help us identify wasteful spending that we didn’t want to look at this whole time? I mean, I guess. Do I want to pat them on the back for finally doing their job all this time later?
SPEAKER 16 :
The political winds have shifted, so that’s probably why.

SPEAKER 07 :
Social Security money. We’re going to make sure that we push back because it’s all about giving tax cuts of almost $8 trillion to the wealthiest individuals in this country.
SPEAKER 01 :
So these brats are mad. That Democrat representative is mad because Elon Musk, through Doge, has identified all this stuff quicker than apparently the Republicans. I’m going to get mad again. The Republicans have been there the entire time. He goes in. He’s like, all right, let’s cut this. Could I have a theory? First off, welcome back. Dana Lash with you. bottom of this third hour. And again, this is just the theory because I am always, it is in my American DNA to always be suspicious and antagonistic towards my government. I have such a problem with authority that I sometimes don’t want to follow simple instructions because I just want to rage against the man, the authority so bad. It’s that, it’s ridiculous. Cain can attest to this, correct? It is a, it is probably my biggest flaw. Anyway, Well, I mean, if you’re trying to like put together, you know, like for instance, sidebar. So I got, you know, like this filing cabinet from my office and I was putting it together and I’m like, these directions are bossy. I’m not listening to them.
SPEAKER 16 :
So that might be something different.
SPEAKER 01 :
See what I’m saying?
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 01 :
So anyway, here’s my theory. And I just thought of this. Again, we’ve had Republicans in Congress this entire time. We controlled Congress. We controlled the power of the purse, guys, for two years at least before this election. And then Musk comes in. They identify USAID. And suddenly Republicans are like, what the hell is this thing? Like they had no idea what it was. Like, what is this? And now everyone’s targeting Elon Musk and Doge. And not the Republicans that probably knew about this and didn’t do anything about it for a very long time. The reason I say this is I know that Musk is partnering with the GOP. Well, not GOP, the administration. I mean, he’s really not a Republican, but he’s just a normie, right? I would hope that they are not setting him up to be like the firewall and to take all the hits and to take all the heat. so that they can kind of just like screw around. You know what I mean? To me, there’s some cowardice in that because they’ve known about this the entire time. And you’re telling me that it wasn’t until Musk started looking around that they were like, wow, we didn’t know. And now the left is targeting him. They did not view him as politically expendable, did they? Does that make sense? Is that way too cynical even for me, Cain?
SPEAKER 16 :
not a weird conclusion to reach when you know they’ve been yeah they’ve been yeah they’ve been targeting him in so many different ways for i don’t know ever since he wanted to buy twitter right and and ever since then he’s been a target so this is just another excuse for them to issue some faux outrage and this directed at elon right i mean it’s it is uh wild imagine being upset at the messenger that you’re being exactly stolen you know your stuff’s being stolen and you get mad at the messenger not the thieves it’s ridiculous
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, the problem is I know they’re targeting him. And remember one of the… I wrote a piece on this. Actually, I’m looking for it right now. I think it was like a month ago. It was before the election. And how you had the left that was writing all of these articles where they were trying to target Musk and Trump and pit them against each other. And I still see… Some of these pieces now where they say, oh, they’re trying to limit Musk’s influence at the administration. I don’t believe any of this stuff because I think, look, I know Trump. I’ve known him for a long time. One of the things that he likes to do is he likes people to compete against each other. But he also is going to limit, you know, how much that I do. I do think that he would limit how much access he would, you know, if he thought he was getting too big for his britches, which is not the case. So beside the point, the point is, is that the press has been trying to pit them against each other for a really long time. And there hasn’t been any bites on that apple. So now they’ve kind of shifted gears and they’re saying, oh, he’s a threat to democracy. Now the play is. is to try to convince all of those independents and people in the middle that were attracted by the normal messaging. You know, it’s not that Republicans were out there. I mean, think about the differences in messaging from 2008 to now. You don’t have the quote-unquote compassionate conservatism, which is all fake anyway. You don’t have any of that. No one’s focusing on… There’s a minimization of… A lot of the 20% and a focus on the 80% of issues. It’s all been immigration, law and order, education, like basic stuff that normal people are like, yeah, that makes sense. And so now the left, because they’ve, they’re kind of changing their stance a bit. They’re trying to make a play. And convince those independents and moderates that were attracted by normal things to convince them that Musk, he’s dangerous and he’s been empowered. And now, oh, he’s stealing all of this from you, etc. I don’t think it’s working, though, because they’re so hysterical. I mean, we played some audio for you yesterday. That was Democrat Representative Gomez. He was screaming about him there. And then he’s saying that they’re stealing. I don’t know what they’re… That’s our money that you guys stole. That he’s saying, hey, they stole it. This is what they’re spending on. But again, back to my original speculation, I don’t want Republicans setting him up to get burned and letting him take all the hits for this when this was something they could have actually done a long time ago. So that’s why I’m not patting Republicans on the back for this. Because they’ve been culpable. just like they’ve been culpable with immigration. Yes, is it better to have them there than Democrats? That’s completely irrelevant to the point I’m making. The point is, is that imagine if the people that we voted for were as hardcore as they pretended to be on the campaign trail and were blowing this stuff up from the get-go. I mean, you wouldn’t have anything to report on at this stage, would you? That’s my point. I don’t want them to use him as a shield for them. Because those lawmakers, they’re sent there to enact to do our will. They should be a shield for us. And they’re not. So I just don’t want them to burn him. And I don’t feel like that’s me being suspicious. That’s just the nature of things in D.C., Like, oh, he’ll take all the hits. He can, you know, say all this stuff and talk about cutting this and that. Here’s the other thing. Everything that he suggests. And that’s all for all the people who act like Elon Musk is like this unelected bureaucrat. These idiots. He’s auditing the government. And as I said, it’s only of the group that has access to some of the more sensitive information. I think they said it’s two or three people. They had to sign, and I know for a fact, they had to sign like all these NDAs and all this other stuff with the federal government. And it was also read only. So they can’t share it, disseminate it, distribute it, copy it, paste it. It’s like almost like it’s almost like in a skiff, like a secured, controlled area. It’s read only. And there’s only like two or three of them that can even do that in the first place. Furthermore, he doesn’t get to make any decisions. He is merely showing to our elected representatives what needs to be cut since they asked. Here are things you can cut. And then our representatives, the people that we invested with this power by way of our vote, are the ones that make the cuts. So there is nothing that is unconstitutional about this. There is nothing that is illegal about this. There is nothing out of the ordinary about this. They, the left, they are getting rocked in a way I have not seen. And I’ve been in activism since a long, gosh, for a long time. And I’ve done, I started in politics and oppo research. So, I, out of all of All of my time in this, I’ve never seen them get rocked this hard. The last time that it got remotely close was the Tea Party days during the midterm elections when grassroots activists outmaneuvered them, and not just federally, but in so many states. And Democrats were, they were shocked. And that’s when Barack Obama had to admit the day after midterm elections, quote, it was a shellacking. Because grassroots activists, even though we had like one eighth of their budget, we were out there beating their asses in every election. State elections, state legislatures, municipal and federal. This though, I have not seen them be rocked like this ever. And they’re knocked back on their heels right now. And they’re just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. My concern is I don’t want… to be considered expendable by a political party that could have done this the whole time. Do you know what I mean? Because at some point they’re going to come back and they’re going to hit. They always do. I don’t want Musk to be like a political casualty of that. Because he’s merely doing what he was asked to do by an administration that we voted for. And one of the reasons that we voted for it is because they said they were going to do this. Does that make sense? And I know you’re probably thinking, Dana, that’s a very cynical view. I would counter it’s a very realistic view. You guys have seen enough Republicans betray you, right? Granted, Democrats more, but you’ve seen enough Republicans. Mitt Romney. Sorry. Allergies. It’s cedar bush. Cedar fever is so bad here. Just saying. So just be aware of all of that. I look at it. I was telling Kane I was going back. I was familiar with Operation Mockingbird. Maybe we’ll do a deep dive into that next week. Tomorrow we have our annual radio summit, so I’m not going to be on air tomorrow. But Next week, I think we’re going to talk about this because it really never ended. And I’m wondering if that was just… I mean, it’s basically a continuation of that CIA PSYOP. It’s Operation Mockingbird, and it was a propaganda effort that was a huge, like, multi-nation propaganda effort that began, like, in the 70s, and it never ended, really. Propaganda, exactly what we were seeing with this USAID stuff. So this has all been… uh i mean pretty i mean it’s been it’s been pretty unbelievable i wanted to play this to you because the left has been going mad going crazy over caroline levitt this is audio somebody 13 so she was asked i can’t remember who asked her this she was asked about this um this was yesterday at the white house press conference yesterday and the left has been lampooning this first listen to what she says here audio somebody 13.
SPEAKER 12 :
So your colleague to your right, to my left.
SPEAKER 11 :
Thanks, Caroline. Taylor with Spectrum News. You talked a bit about Doge. Elon Musk is currently a, quote, special government employee who also owns companies that have billions of dollars in federal contracts. You said earlier this week that he has abided by all applicable federal laws. But what steps is the Trump administration taking to address that conflict of interest?
SPEAKER 12 :
The president was already asked and answered this question this week, and he said if Elon Musk comes across a conflict of interest with the contracts and the funding that Doge is overseeing, then Elon will excuse himself from those contracts. And he has, again, abided by all applicable laws.
SPEAKER 01 :
In the back left. So the left’s new argument is that, well… Musk and Tesla got tons of government subsidies and they did. He would not have been competitive without them. That’s true. He’s also said that he wishes that weren’t the case and that he is completely supportive in ending all those subsidies for that. Because you guys know I hate EVs and I hate subsidies like this. I think that’s what the free market needs to decide. That’s a distraction and you can separate these two issues. Because for the left to compare that to this is kind of stupid. The EV subsidies, those were government contracts that were awarded for a lot of that, a significant portion of it, which is not the same thing as surreptitiously funneling money to gun control groups to advocate for your loss of natural rights. I mean, how much of that was like government contracts awarded to? All of them got subsidies too. It’s not just Tesla, it was Ford, it was Chevy, all of them did. You can hate those and also think that the USAID thing is bad. It’s a logical fallacy. They’re trying to invalidate the points that Musk has made and the progress that Doge has made by claiming that because of the association with Musk and these subsidies that therefore this is all invalid. That’s so stupid. Don’t buy that bait. It’s dumb. The point is that you were robbed, we were robbed, And it was sent to propagandists and actual enemies of the state. I think gun control groups should be classified as domestic terrorists. I think Everytown is a domestic terror group. I think Michael Bloomberg is a domestic terrorist. I think all these people are. The way that they have persecuted and prosecuted good people, and we paid for it. So yeah, it’s not even remotely the same. And she said, look, he will recuse himself. And that’s more accountability than we have ever had with the 88,000 IRS agents. It’s more accountability than we ever had with the G6 committee. It’s more accountability than we ever had with any of this USAID stuff. So spare me. We got a lot more on the way. our partners at all family pharmacy.
