SPEAKER 20 :
Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. Golly, what a way to start the day off, right? Can’t you know where I’m going? I have other stuff to hit, but it feels weird to not talk about the passing of Hulk Hogan. I mean, we literally just found out right before going to air. And I know he had had some health issues recently. I guess. Yeah. So he took part in some of the inaugural stuff, too. And I just golly, Hulk. We can’t have this. This is not right for both Ozzie and Hulk Hogan back to back like this. This is just this is fate being a jerk. This is too much, man. Hulk Hogan, they announced, I mean, literally just moments ago that he has passed away. And I mean, I think information is still all coming out about all of this. But it is truly that was that one was shocking because he seems so healthy. I mean, I just think if you can rip your shirt in half, you’re probably pretty healthy. You know what I mean? I can. Can you rip your shirt in half if you try? I mean, if I really try and I almost give myself an aneurysm, I probably can. But it was, golly, just shocking. So this was announced. We had the passing of Ozzie just, you know, the other day. And now this story of Hulk Hogan passing away. He really put wrestling on the map. And there’s going to be a lot of discussion about this. Terry Jean Bollea. Bollea. Was his real name. I think I’ve heard people call him Terry, but no one. I’ve never heard anyone really actually call him anything other than Hulk. Right. The Hulkster. 71 years old. And they said he had suffered a cardiac arrest at his home. And that’s what happened. So he had suffered a cardiac arrest at his home. That’s ultimately what happened. And that he had I think he had had surgery a little bit earlier. The crazy thing is, is did you hear I saw this story and I thought nothing of it. It’s this story. The headline is Jimmy Hart latest to dispute rumor that Hulk Hogan is on his deathbed. Do you remember everything going around saying Hulk Hogan’s on his deathbed? And people were saying that’s so stupid. It, like, blipped, trended for a half second on social media. Did you see that? And then now, you know, everyone was, you know, everybody was assured that that wasn’t the case, and now here we are. Huh. So. Interesting. I just feel, I just, I feel, ugh, I feel so bad for them. But they said that the Mouth of the South joined Eric Bischoff and Hulk’s wife trying to shut down the rumor. That was, um… That was yesterday. So he wasn’t on death’s door. He had cardiac arrest. I don’t know. I know. Didn’t he have surgery? He’d had surgery. He had had some health issues. But I mean, he’s 71 years old. I mean, he looks like he’s in great shape for a 71 year old, but you don’t know what heart issues, et cetera, are like during that. But he had apparently he had some surgery yesterday. And but people were saying, no, there is no brain damage. He’s he had intense surgery. It’s a healing process, et cetera, et cetera. So he was basically like recovering from from that. And then there were a lot of rumors flying around about his health. But goodness, I just can’t. I just the fate is killing our culture. Goodness. It sounds like he had complications from his surgery. A long intensive surgery at age 71, no matter what shape you’re in, that’s hard for anybody, right? That’s hard for anybody. When’s the last time you saw him on TV? I think it was a Fox thing. I want to say it was like a couple of months ago, but I might be wrong.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, it wasn’t that long ago. It was, I mean, when Trump won in November last year, we saw him shortly after that as well. So less than a year. I mean, six months.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah. Golly. So this 71 years old and for whatever reason, he just, oh my gosh. And then everybody, everybody is reminding me, Kane, we got the rule of three. So, Hulk Hogan starts a new one. Actually, there’s… Gosh, I hate talking… Should I wait and talk about this? This is so horrible. Damn you, Grandma and her Rule of Three. There was the musician that Vegas Larry was telling us… That he was telling us about for the Rule of Three. Oh, my goodness. And I can’t even… Golden Earring or which one? Yes, Golden Earring. Yes, thank you. So, that… So that he actually kicked off the new one. Ozzy finished the first set of three. Now we have a whole new set of three and there’s two out of the three. I know this sounds morbid, but my grandmother’s rule has never been wrong, ever. And it’s creepy, but goodness. He was the greatest wrestler of all time. Hulk Hogan was the greatest wrestler of all time. The end. The end. He put wrestling on the map. He put WWE on the map. He absolutely did. Just an absolute. I watched him as a kid growing up. This is going to sound weird. Oh, wait. You know what? Lorraine just reminded me of Malcolm Tamal Warner. That’s the three. All right. No, Connie Francis. Ozzy Osbourne, Connie Francis, and then there was the other third, and then it’s Malcolm Jamal Warner. So this might be the three. Lorraine’s keeping track of the Deadpool. I’m so sorry to talk about it like that, but for… My grandmother’s rule must be satisfied. But do you remember, this was back in like the late 80s, I think. I was a little kid. And just for perspective, I wasn’t in kindergarten until like 1986. So I remember… And this was right after my mom could afford just like basic cable. And we started watching some of the wrestling. I started watching some of the wrestling programs because my grandpa and all my cousins who were dudes watched the wrestling programs. And I remember there was like a collaboration between Cyndi Lauper and Hulk Hogan. Who remembers this? And didn’t they have like a whole crew together? And they were like fighting like it was their crew and another crew. And it was like a huge crossover. She did a video and I swear to you where they were in the video. And then there was like a cartoon of it and everything. It was like a huge promotional like dream. And I remember watching that. I don’t remember a lot about it because I was so young when it was on TV. But that really got me into wrestling. Then I started watching Monday Night Raw and I would play poker when I was in like high school and college. No, we didn’t drink. I’ve never. We had sodas and it was all about loose change. Right. I was I’m a really just for the record. I if I ever did another job, I’d probably be a professional poker player. Um, but it was, I can’t remember the name of it. Anyway, me and here’s what’s weird. All of my friends who were girls watch this because it was Cindy Lauper who everybody liked. All the girls liked, you know, she was a pop, you know, super popular at the time. And she had like hit song after hit song. We watched it. And then I will never forget when we would run around the neighborhood as kids. It didn’t matter whose house we were at, if it was wrestling that was on. And their stuff usually, their cartoon was on on Saturday mornings. And I just remember like in the evenings when they would do their stuff. We all would sit down, boys and girls. When’s the last time you see like, you know, 10-year-old girls sitting down watching wrestling? You know what I’m saying? We sat down. My point being in telling the story is that his role in it made it so accessible for everybody. Everybody. Oh, my gosh. He brought in all these viewers. He was the greatest wrestler, not just for performance, but not just for his athleticism. He was a good stage man. He was a great impresario. He was really good as a performer performer. I didn’t mean to talk about it all segment, but my gosh, this is a hard week, Gen X. It’s a hard week. Dang. So just to let you know some of the stuff that we have coming up. So South Park’s back. So that we’re going to have to have a conversation about South Park and remind people that South Park is South Park. And that’s kind of how they always have been. and um yeah so we got because they had trump featured prominently kane in their first episode back so we’re going to have a conversation about this everybody’s been talking about it uh some of the other things we’re going to get into i got some immigration headlines for you uh we’re also did you hear that joe biden he sold his memoir for like peanuts wait until you hear this story i it’s almost sad but my memory of him being such a jack wagon makes me, it just, that’s the bulwark against any sympathy for him. You know what I mean? Nobody, he like apparently sold it for a fraction of what every other Democrat president’s ever sold their memoirs for. It’s actually really embarrassing. So I have this headline for you. I’ve got a ton of stuff. We’ve got, it’s a heavy cultural day, but yeah, that’s, it’s just, that’s so sad. Hulk Hogan passed away age 71. It’s official now.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m just sitting here contemplating my own mortality as all the icons of the 80s and 90s pass away into the ether. We’re going to start playing some dark wave goth rock here. That’s what’s going to happen for the show. I’m wearing blue today. This is so inappropriate. I just need to be like veiled in black. All right. So we were going to play Twilight from Golden Earring, which we still will. George Coyman’s guitarist co-founder. I can I just tell you, I’m like literally today years old. I didn’t know that they were like Dutch. Yeah, I didn’t know. I just figured they were British this whole time. 77 years old. He passed away due to complications from ALS. He was diagnosed with that about five years ago. So, good grief. And you know their big famous song, Twilight, which I’m not going to sing, but King can. Twilight Zone. Well, what’s the… You can sing the chorus.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m not going to sing.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, never mind. I thought you liked them. I guess you hate them. I do like them. And then Hulk Hogan, obviously, passed away at age 71. This on top of Ozzy Osbourne. Everybody stop dying. So to make it weirder, people are buying $8,000 life like baby dolls. So I’m looking at this story from the Wall Street Journal. Woman with beautiful hair. She’s an attractive older woman. She’s got beautiful brown hair. And she’s holding, I was like, well, maybe it’s her granddaughter or something like that. No, it’s her realistic fake baby. A designer fake baby. This is weird. And this is like a huge thing. So here’s a question. Steve R. Cain. If you guys, you know, you’re out there single, ready to mingle, you come across a woman, she’s real good looking, you click, you like her, and then you get to her apartment and she’s got a fake baby. Is that…
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s a deal breaker.
SPEAKER 20 :
Deal breaker for you?
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s a deal breaker.
SPEAKER 20 :
Deal breaker for you, Steve? Fake baby? Realistic $8,000 fake baby in the ladies’ apartment?
SPEAKER 23 :
Unless she’s, like, practicing CPR on it or something.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m coming back to this. This is fascinating. Washington state hides how many people die by assisted suicide. That’s terrifying. I mean, it’s euthanasia, essentially, but they’re not going to release data on it anymore because it… They don’t want to have to talk about the complications of having so many people obvying themselves. It’s eating eggs weekly can lower your Alzheimer’s risk by nearly 50 percent. I eat eggs almost every day, pretty much almost every day. But they said that it’s a four percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s. 27 participants over six and a half years were diagnosed with it, but they really tracked it closely. There’s a decline. That’s fascinating. We have a lot more in store. Stick with us. Our partners that help bring you the program. It’s the folks over at Angel Studios. We always complain about Hollywood, but how many people actually do something about it? That’s the thing.

SPEAKER 08 :
At no time did we ever conclude that the Russians succeeded in entering voting machines and changing the vote tally. And I will also say that in almost every briefing we gave to The Hill, we were asked, do you think that all of this activity that the Russians engaged in and did successfully, like the hacking and dumping, like sending undercovers here, like creating the Internet Research Agency to manipulate public opinion, Did those activities have an effect on the outcome of the election? And every single time we said we don’t opine on that.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah. See, this is they’re trying to retcon this whole story about. And that was, by the way, Andy McCabe. They’re trying to retcon this whole story. That concerns this Russian collusion timeline. And Andy McCabe is saying, was it on MSNBC or CNN? I totally don’t even pay attention to their networks. CNN, thank you. He was saying, well, in no time. That’s right, because he’s a contributor over there. He was saying, well, at no time did we ever conclude that. You know, the Russians succeeded in entering the voting machines. No, they concluded it literally right after they lost in 2016. So they didn’t conclude it all the way up until because they were still believing that they were going to get this done. They were thinking that they had it, you know. And then the moment Trump won, they were like, oh. Collusion. Russia stole the election. They went on and on and on. They that’s that’s it. I thought this was interesting. Audio Sumbite 6, what Andy McCabe said about DNI, head of DNI. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 08 :
Alison Gabbard is simply an opportunist in this play, right? Her star is falling. Her analysis was thrown out the window on Iran. She embarrassed herself with that somewhat bizarre video about nuclear weapons in Japan. And so she’s using this as an opportunity to get herself back into favor with the White House. That’s my personal assessment. But, you know, this seems to be kind of… The State of the Union for what we’re in right now.
SPEAKER 20 :
So I think so what he’s doing, I’m not agreeing with him. What he’s doing is attacking the messenger, which is irrelevant to the facts at hand. I don’t think that there’s anything new that we have from any of the stuff that’s been released, that DNI released. All it does is confirm what we always actually thought. And Democrats can try to retcon it, but there are receipts. And we were talking about this in depth yesterday. I laid some of those out. I do think there’s something to be said, though, about the pageantry with which this was delivered, because it does give people who are forever cynical confidence. It does put some questions in their head because she, for all intents and purposes, looked to be entirely shut out of a lot of the stuff pertaining to the Middle East, specifically Iran, right? Because she, I mean, she was wrong about Iran and had to do a complete 180. She did this video, came out with it. It seemed to, at least the rumor on the Hill was that it put her sideways with POTUS and his advisors and then had to do a 180 and come back and say something entirely different. Regardless of who it is that’s head of DNI, when you have someone that’s heading our intelligence agencies and they’re at that high level and they are of that stature, you can’t be flipping and flopping. One of the reasons that you’re selected for these positions is your ability to make quick decisions, your discernment. And the confidence that you have in those decisions. I mean, going from one position to entirely another position just so that you can get back and put us as good graces within the span of two weeks doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence in some of those cynics. And I think that that’s something, regardless of your feelings on Gabbard, that everybody can say, yeah, I understand why that might cause some difficulty in the minds of people who, you know, maybe were perhaps questioning Gabbard. either her ability to lead or the veracity of the information that she was dealing with at the time when she made that initial assessment on Iran prior to changing her mind entirely. So that being said, she’s not wrong with any of the stuff that she released, because as I was explaining yesterday, I mean, the receipts are there. I mean, this is stuff that we already knew. We knew all of this stuff already. But I do think that maybe within some of this effort, there was an attempt to try to get back into POTUS’s good graces with the pageantry of it, perhaps. Does that make sense, Cain? Because when it’s stuff that’s already, some of it was already publicly known. It was the specifics of which were not confirmed. Some of it was already publicly known. And I’m just because some of this stuff already had been declassified from CIA. Some of it already came out from FOIA requests. I mean, the criminal referral is news for sure, for certain. And I mean, having that, you know, I think that’s totally fine to have a press conference about that. But I don’t want to get into the Epstein binder stuff. Area where you’re coming out with information that most everybody already knows and we’re trying to act like the significance of announcing it somehow satisfies the public requirement for more information. It doesn’t. You’re simply having a. you know, a formal process by which you announce it doesn’t mean that you’re announcing new information. And we’ve got to be careful with the administration developing a pattern of this. So that’s kind of like my only correction that I would offer with this. I know my friend Andy McCarthy is absolutely caustic on it because he, I think he was livid because there was nothing new. And, uh, He also is mad. He seems to be more on the side of John Ratcliffe. And remember, I think POTUS and Ratcliffe are a little bit at odds on a couple of issues. And he was correct in noting that Ratcliffe already did an analytical report that contradicted her implication that there wasn’t evidence of Russian interference. And I think one of the things that people are cautioning is that it’s not that there wasn’t Russian interference, but… There was Russian interference. There was Russian interference on the side of Democrats. You can’t say that there wasn’t any Russian interference in the 2016 election and then also simultaneously acknowledge that Hillary Clinton and the DNC had to pay a serious fine because they violated campaign law when they were hiring literally an unregistered foreign agent that had been lobbying for years on behalf of these Russian oligarchs that was peddling Kremlin-discarded and unverified criminal Kremlin opposition that the FBI confirmed privately in emails that they wouldn’t even touch with a 10 foot pole. That’s why the FBI never validated it. The FBI didn’t say a damn thing about that dossier after because it’s discredited Russian operative that was presented by a disgraced British spy to an unregistered foreign agent entity that was then peddled by partisan members of the DOJ and FBI to a FISA judge. So you can’t say that there wasn’t any Russian operative because that literally was Russian interference. I mean, for crying out loud, a woman named Natalia Levitskaya was one of the people running the ops. And she had been lobbying on behalf of Russian oligarchs through Fusion GPS. Come on, guys. So I do take issue with that part of his statement there. I do. Now, this, a couple of things. You have former DNI James Clapper. He says he’s afraid that he’s going to be arrested. Well, he lied under oath a couple of times. Listen to what he has to say here. Sorry, this is five.
SPEAKER 22 :
When the director says that she’s referred these filings to the Justice Department for a criminal investigation, tonight we’re told they formed what is called a strike force. Do you have concerns that they will attempt to prosecute you?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, certainly I do. After eight and a half years of this, and I don’t know of an intelligence product that was more scrutinized, more investigated than that product. was by numerous people, you know, it’s very disconcerting. It really is. And I take seriously when the President of the United States accuses me of being a participant in a treasonous conspiracy, which is ridiculous.
SPEAKER 22 :
What’s your reaction to that?
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s ridiculous. It just is untrue.
SPEAKER 22 :
So what will you do if they come after you? What is your plan?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, I’ll lawyer up, I suppose.
SPEAKER 20 :
I already have. And he’s just talking about the Russian collusion aspect. Let’s not forget when he testified in March of 2013 at a Senate hearing, and he was asked about the national… security agency. And they specifically asked him, and again, this is back in 2013 under Obama, Biden. They asked him whether or not the NSA collects any data at all on hundreds of millions of Americans. And Clapper said, no, under oath. In fact, I think his answer was no, sir, not wittingly. He lied because then three months later, Regardless of what you think about Edward Snowden and everybody’s got criticisms, that’s when all of that information came to light about the expansive vastness of the NSA warrantless electronic spying. He blatantly perjured himself. He lied under oath before the Senate when he was asked about this. This was long before Russian collusion. So it’s why I say he’s repeatedly perjured himself. There used to be penalties for people who perjured themselves when they were testifying before members of the House or Senate. And apparently, if you are James Clapper and you’re an Obama Biden minion, you don’t have to worry about penalties for things like that, because the old adage of being equal before the law and being equal underneath it once it’s broken doesn’t apply to him. It’s different. I mean, and I think the statute of limitations ran out on that already. So, I mean, even if you wanted to go and prosecute him for that, you wouldn’t be able to. Are they going to run out the clock for this? I mean, he lied under oath about collusion. Because they knew, by the way, they knew all of this stuff was false. Remember when they had that letter of 51 intelligence agents that are 51 intelligence like high-ranking members of the intel communities all of them partisan that signed this letter then it came out later that they knew that it was what they were saying was false but they signed their name to it anyway it was like they were signing their name to a political pledge more so than anything uh that demonstrated their belief in the veracity of the evidence that necessitated that whole witch hunt in the first place So this is the issue. So, yeah, he should have been prosecuted a hell of a long time ago for lying under oath. And the moment that he started talking about collusion, most of us didn’t believe him anyway because we already knew that he lied under oath in 2013. He’s a partisan hack. just like the rest of the legacy press that props him up. I mean, think about this for a minute. You’re in the press and you want to make a name for yourself, but your political tribalism is so strong that you can’t even bring yourself to write one story on the worst kept secret in D.C. about the NSA spying, warrantless electronic surveillance of millions of people. You can’t even bring yourself to write a damn piece on it, not even a word, not a tweet, because people were so invested in the industry of them and keeping their access to power. It’s ridiculous. But that’s what happened. That’s what press is all about anymore. It’s a bunch of fame whores masquerading as people who actually care about distributing news, and they don’t. And there are very few. I mean, I can count them on one hand. I can count the number of actual reporters that I know that actually report and believe in the story over their own byline on one hand. Not kidding. Sad state of things, is it not? We have more on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of this first hour. We got other stuff coming up in the second, including some of the latest with immigration. What Greece is doing and what Britain is not. As we move, our partners that are bringing the program, the folks over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that is in existence. Patriot Mobile wants to make sure that you not only stay connected and that you have the most consistent connection. strongest, best connection, which they provide by operating on all three major networks with nationwide coverage you can trust.

SPEAKER 12 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 09 :
And before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this. I’m allowed to say that, right? Too late now.
SPEAKER 11 :
So it doesn’t really matter.
SPEAKER 09 :
Before we go, I wanted to tell people that the tide is turning. The tide is turning. And things are changing. I mean, the ultimate irony would be that Rupert Murdoch will take him down. Fox News, who created the monster, will take him down. Oh, for the love.
SPEAKER 20 :
So she’s… Apparently, what do they don’t they always take a hiatus anyway, like at the end of summer before fall and they go on a break. So why are they trying to act like this is a big deal? Yeah, she’s like, we only have one more show after this. And acted like it was because they were going to cancel him or cancel them or something. I don’t even think Trump cares about the view. I really don’t. But they do that. They actually go. They take a break and then they all go back. I know this because I guest hosted the show. I’ve been on the show a few times and that’s how they work. They go on a lot of those shows. They go on hiatus, you know, for give the staff a break at the end of summer. It’s usually like right before everybody kicks back into school and all of that. They go out, they’re gone for like a week or two. They run old, old episodes or they would have like the host rotate and have guests host in. And then everybody comes back and they start, you know, you know, the new season and fall. So they always take a summer hiatus. Like they, they all, they all do that. So I think that’s so stupid to act like they’re getting canceled. You know, what’s funny. And we’re going to talk about this. I am so excited. Amused by the fact that the left has been, you know, weeping and ashing their teeth over Colbert while also simultaneously celebrating South Park because they they said that South Park was savage on Trump yesterday. South Park, by the way, has gone after every single politician, Democrat or Republican. I think maybe except they didn’t really go after Biden a lot. But this is a new season. So who the hell knows what they’re going to do? They probably will. I wouldn’t doubt it because they have always gone after… And it’s not like that they do it on purpose to make either side happy. They just lampoon everything. And there are some people on the right that are really mad about it. And I’m like, I can tell you’ve never watched South Park. The people who are the angriest have literally never watched South Park. They also… Made fun of Colbert on their show. They savaged Colbert. But what it shows and what South Park just proved and the left is too stupid to realize this. What South Park just proved by coming out, you know, so hot like this first episode is that it has nothing to do with criticizing Trump. Colbert was canceled because he got fired, not canceled. His show was canceled. He was fired because he sucks. He’s bad at his job. He is not an engaging or an entertaining host. He can’t retain the audience that precedes from the programming that precedes him. They drip off like in the first 10 minutes of the show. All of this is measurable. They were not moving inventory with ads. Adweek had a story about that and Adweek watches what sells and what doesn’t. They were really struggling. They were hemorrhaging money. You had a petty partisan host who thought that he was so great he couldn’t get over his own self in favor of his audience that his bitter little rants constituted humor. or that it was acceptable for late night. People don’t want that crap late night. It’s late night. They’re going to bed. They want fun. They want humor. They want entertainment. They want something that helps them just brush the day off and go to bed. They don’t want heavy rants and monologues, especially from bitter Bettys like Stephen Colbert. And that’s what the left doesn’t get. We got a lot more on this coming up. Second hour on the way. Don’t go anywhere. Partners over at Burn a Gun. I’m always going to tell people to carry. And I’m always going to tell you to train and be ready for anything. And I have zero problem myself in using lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. But here’s the thing. There are so many different private property restrictions, municipal restrictions to say nothing of laws about, you know, you can be old enough to go to college and live on your own in another town, but not old enough to carry weapons. you know, a handgun for self-protection. So here’s where the Berna gun comes in. Berna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. There’s no recoil, easy target acquisition. And unlike stun guns, the Berna actually has five rounds, right? And stun guns usually have like maybe one or two. There’s several different types of burner guns. I mean, they make rifles, but I think for this, obviously this purpose, the burner SD, which is their most popular model or the new burner CL, which is 38% smaller and easier to conceal and I think, as a female, as a smaller statute female than the SD. But I think you need to consider both of them. You’ve got the legal flexibility. There’s no background checks. There’s no permits. It does not care about gun-free zone signs at all whatsoever. It’s legal in all 50 states. You don’t have to have a license, nothing. It’s accessible for everybody. You can literally ship it right to your front porch. you need to check it out. It’s good to have a diverse weapons array. You want to be ready for every situation. And this is just part of that. For the same reason you have pistols and rifles, different calibers and blades. Visit Burna.com slash Dana and check out the new Burna CL. It’s B-Y-R-N-A, Burna.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 20 :
Well, every time we try commenting with audio, somebody dies. Oh, yeah. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. It’s not you, thankfully, but now we got Chuck Mangione. So rule of three starts all over again. Here we go. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash here with you on this morbid, you know, horrible, horrible day for 80s and 90s kids all over the world. We’re at the top of the second hour. You can follow along and commiserate. Channel 347, DirecTV, commiserate with the chat that’s over at Rumble. Make sure you go sign up at Substack, YouTube, Facebook, like and subscribe. So Chuck Mangione is now, I don’t, I mean, I know I’ve got other stuff to get to, but this is a weird day culturally, right?
SPEAKER 14 :
Think about it. Over the past less than two weeks, we’ve gone through two, three person lists?
SPEAKER 20 :
All of the icons of 80s and 90s kids are getting knocked off. Fate is like, I’m coming for you, Gen X. That’s what it’s saying right now. Anybody else sitting here quietly just mulling over their own mortality? No, trust me. Okay. I saw, I told Kane last night before I went to bed, I saw this insane photo and it was of Ozzy going into heaven. And then there was Freddie Mercury and Lemmy. And then there was Ronnie James Dio and then Kurt Cobain was in the back, but let’s be real. And I can’t remember who else. Oh, Jimi Hendrix. And I’m like, it was sad. And then I started thinking about how we’re all made of meat and we’re on a rock flying through the blackness of space and we’re all going to die soon. Anyway, hi. Now you see why I’m a goth kid. That’s what I saw. That was literally the last thing I saw before I went to bed. Now, you guys know how my mind works. Ladies, husbands that are watching, you all know how your ladies work. All the men out there are going, my gosh, my wife is going to ask me about this right before we go to bed, isn’t she? I don’t know what it is, but it’s like women, when they get married, this skill set comes out. And they have this amazing ability, like right before the man’s about to drift off to sleep, that’s when we just, I don’t know, realize that we need to talk to you about something. And we just start without waking you up. Some of us are kind and wake you up, but it’s… Insane. I saw this video from Trey Kennedy. He was making fun of his wife for doing that, where she leaned in front of him as he was drifting off to sleep, holding her phone’s calendar and going, we need to talk about next month’s calendar right as he was going to sleep. And I felt seen because I do that. Then I realized, oh, he’s making fun of it. Anyway, Chuck Mangione. I don’t even know what a flugelhorn is, but he plays it. I just know he plays a horn. But they formed the Jazz Brothers. He, I think, what, 14, got nominated for 14 Grammys. He had a big hit back in the 70s. I just remember… His song was the one song that he had. What was it? Give it all you got. That’s when that was the miracle on ice. And then it just like is like super all hockey players, all people who love hockey know that song because that was the theme for the 1980 Winter Olympics. And Lake Placid, and that’s when the Miracle on Ice, that’s when men’s hockey won. And it, you know, it’s like synonymous now with hockey ever since then. But wow, good night. So that’s like a pretty big, that’s a pretty big deal. So all these people kicking the bucket, I’m telling you, Grim Reaper’s out for all the icons of Gen X. And in the meantime, we’re going to get into some of the meat and potatoes, but I want to get into some of the other stuff. Can we talk about the South Park skit? OK, they did make fun of Stephen Colbert yesterday, but they also made a lot of fun of POTUS. Well, was it fun of POTUS or they were just having fun with POTUS? I think there’s a difference because I feel like if they really wanted to go at him, they could have gone a lot harder. But you’re like, but Dana, they had Trump with a Canadian head. And if you don’t know what that means, then you can’t get mad at South Park. They gave him a Canadian head and they had him in bed with the devil. Okay. And who was the last person that they portrayed doing that, Kane?
SPEAKER 14 :
That would be Saddam Hussein.
SPEAKER 20 :
I like how you said that like it’s French. Saddam. Saddam Hussein. Long story short, they had their episode. They came out and this was right after, literally the day after it was announced that South Park got a hundred and how much money was it? Oh, billions of dollars, a billion, big old billion dollar deal for five years of streaming. Play this audio. We can’t play the video because we’ll get dinged. I know, YouTube. But we can play the audio. Listen. This is from last night.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m not in the mood right now. Another random bitch commented on my Instagram that you’re on the Epstein list. The Epstein list? Are we still talking about that? Are you on the list or not? It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax. I’m not telling everyone to relax. Relax, girl. No, I need counseling. You remind me more and more of this other guy I used to date. Like, a lot. Like, you guys are exactly alike. I love you.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, so… That’s what they are… That’s what they have with him. They’ve got… They’ve got the… He said a boot. I feel like they were trolling him. Like Canada trolling him. Because… And Kane, you know this too. The… So, I, the whole situation with wanting Canada to be, you know, America’s 51st state. I think they gave him a Canadian head and made him say a boot to troll him in a fun, lighthearted way. It wasn’t malicious. There’s malicious trolling. And then there is just having fun. And South Park is just having fun. Stephen Colbert is just a jack wagon. There is a difference. And so the left has been like exuberant all day today. Right. Uh, They, I mean, they’ve been super excited and they’ve been cheering, which I find hysterical. Because just yesterday, what was the headline that I had? It was like some doom and gloom headline like Stephen Colbert’s a great loss for the nation. I kid you not. It was like some kind of headline like that from one of the papers of record. And, you know, we were talking about how overwrought it was. But… Right after that happens, then South Park comes out with this, like this episode on Trump. Honestly, what the left doesn’t realize is that I think that South Park trolled them, too. And here’s why I say that. Because South Park got the big billion dollar deal. Colbert gets fired. And then all of the left is laughing and celebrating with South Park because South Park, they assume that South Park’s lighthearted, you know, lampooning of POTUS and they lampoon everybody. They think that that is somehow a substitute for Colbert or maybe even worse than it’s not. But what it shows is that it’s not about criticizing Trump or lampooning him. Stephen Colbert was just bad at his job. And so the left got proven to be complete morons with us. They Paramount paid more than Stephen Colbert will ever earn to South Park for doing better. What Stephen Colbert wishes he could do. But he’s too partisan and too malicious to actually take a step back and be funny again. I don’t think he’s ever going to be funny again. I think at some point your heart just it’s like the Grinch. Your heart just like dries up and it’s all desiccated like jerky and withers away. That’s, I think, what happened here. Don’t you agree, though, Cain? Because I feel like that, I just think it’s hysterical that the left is all, it just showed that they’re hypocrites, that they’re stupid on this, they’re wrong.
SPEAKER 14 :
Exactly, because you look at it, on the left hand, Paramount has the choice to sink in their dollars to a project called South Park. And on the other hand, they had a choice to sink dollars into what’s known as the Late Show with Colbert. They made a business decision and knew that the money they were going to put into Colbert was not going to go anywhere but the drain. They go where the money is, they go where it’s popular, and clearly Colbert isn’t.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right. And I also think, too, if Trump ever met Trace Stone and Matt Parker, I think they would all get along because they’re very irreverent. He’s very irreverent. But the people on, you know, our brethren on the right that are mad about it, no offense, and I’m not saying this to be mean or to nag you or anything, but you don’t understand South Park. Like, we grew up with it. I was in high school, I think, when the first episode premiered, and I watched every single season. I have seen every episode of South Park. Every episode. Almost every episode, I think, of The Simpsons. But I’ve seen every episode of South Park. Even when it was The Cure that was battling Mecha Streisand. Remember that? Robert Smith versus Mecha Streisand. I mean, some of them get real crazy. But they make fun of everyone and everything. And sometimes it’s not just about a statement. Sometimes it’s just about having fun and being funny and goofy. But it’s never really malicious. I don’t think that they… The only time… Even when they were going after Harry and Meghan, it wasn’t malicious. It was hysterical because it was true. They were… Everything that they said and did, they were just using against them. So I think people need to realize you can’t make fun of that which controls you. And I don’t ever want to be in a position where there’s nobody that can be lampooned because out of fear of retribution. That’s un-American and nonsense. So… I just want it to be good and I want it to be clever and I want it to be actually funny. And they were playing to some of the nostalgia with that episode. And that’s what, you know, kind of made it hit for some, you know, some of the people that have watched it from its inception, but it’s, it, you know, it was truly, it’s, they’re truly funny and they understand the cultural zeitgeist. They get it. And that’s what always, you know, they’ve always been in the culture. I think they have been consistently in the cultural and, and, able to be political without being malicious more than anything else in the industry. And that’s a superpower for them. But the people, like I said, the brethren on the right that are mad at them, you clearly have never watched them. You’ve you clearly and again, I’m not being mean, but you’ve never watched them or at least have watched enough of them. And you, you know, that’s you can’t get mad over this. Come on. That’s silly. That’s silly. And I hope Trump doesn’t get mad over it. I mean, he should think of it as like an honor that he’s been lampooned in such a way, because I don’t know that they’ve ever. I don’t know that they’ve ever given a full episode to anybody, even back when Trump was first elected and they had. Oh my gosh, the teacher, I can’t remember his name. The school teacher. Yeah, Mr. Garrison. Mr. Garrison ran basically as Trump back in 2016 when they came out with that season. And it was funny because Mr. Garrison, while he’s like over the top and silly, Cause he’s a gay dude. He’s over the top and silly, but he also in many of the situations was kind of the voice of common sense or in, in, in the voice of reason in some of the, and talked about like the hysteria of the townsfolk that were reacting to him. So they’ve already actually kind of, they’ve already covered Trump before in a different way. And I feel like the people who are getting mad at this now clearly didn’t watch that season. Don’t be, don’t you, I’m just going to say, don’t be situational. Don’t be into situational bitching. Just stop.
SPEAKER 14 :
Be as consistent as South Park is.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes. How crazy is it that South Park is the most consistent thing in politics? It’s where we are. Right. Just like sometimes how Florida man is our saving grace. You know, I’m saying the way it is. So don’t get mad about it. You know, in fact, what I would say to you is laugh your backside off that they just basically pulled a stunt on the left. And Stephen Colbert, because the day after everybody’s been saying that this is proof that there’s censorship and you have all of these Hollywood celebrities rushing to say it. You have a show that absolutely goes after and lampoons Trump, particularly on the Epstein stuff. And the left is laughing about it without realizing they’ve just been made into liars. That. is actually the final scene of the episode. It’s real life. They’ve been punked into being liars because they’re celebrating criticism of someone that they said couldn’t be criticized because people would get pulled off air and here the people doing it just got a billion dollar deal. That is the end of the episode. It’s brilliant. It’s our partners over at Relief Factor.

SPEAKER 20 :
OK, so I wanted to save this for Florida, man, but I can’t. I ought to, but I’m not. Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. Yeah, literally like Chuck E. Cheese got arrested legit in his mouse costume. No, this is not a stunt. They are not pulling a stunt. He got arrested by Tallahassee Police Department and he was taken out of the restaurant while the kids and their families were looking on. They it was the obviously the person who was in the Chuck E. Cheese scene. outfit that that’s why they were arresting him, but he was booked in a Leon County jail. He already bonded out. They literally don’t know why, but apparently it was like three felonies or something like he had a warrant out. How, how do you got a warrant out and you’ve got three felonies and you’re showing up to work as Chuck E. Cheese? Sorry, kids. Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. Those kids are going to be traumatized forever now. They got Chuck E. Cheese arrested in front of them. A millionaire safari boss got gored by a six ton elephant and stamped to death at a five star private game reserve in South Africa. How in the world does this happen? Because elephant bull elephants can be aggressive. But he got real close and was getting pictures with some of these, and it makes me think it might have been something like that. 39-year-old, he got mauled by a six-ton African elephant and attacked him with his tusks stamped on him. It was 8 a.m. He would often go out to photograph them. I mean, some people, I think… Forget that they’re in a reserve and that reserve literally they take care of those elephants and some people think that they can go out and take pictures of them and get real close to them. And that’s the problem. When you get too close to them, they feel threatened and they respond. And it makes me think it was something like that. Oh, golly. Let’s see. A Cornwall surgeon was accused of fraud over the amputation of his own legs. What? Yeah. Neil Hopper apparently cut off his own legs. And then, yeah, I’m not even kidding you. Neil Hopper lied about how he lost his legs. And as it turned out, apparently he cut them off himself. He said he lost them to sepsis and he tried to defraud his insurance company.

President Trump tells his supporters to move on from the Epstein story, but they’re not moving on. Not only did an auto pen sign most of Joe Biden’s pardons, but Biden didn’t even choose most of the people who got pardons. But he was totally in control. And after getting crushed in his primary, Andrew Cuomo just keeps running anyway.

SPEAKER 02 :
It’s clear this Sunfresh at 31st and Prospect is struggling. This is the first section people see when they come in. There’s barely any produce. A lot of the coolers and shelves around the store look the same way, empty. So shoppers have been asking us, if the store isn’t closing, then where is all the food? A rotten smell comes through the door, and anywhere you turn, you’ll see products that need to be restocked. No hot food or deli. I watch people walk in and walk out.
SPEAKER 01 :
The grocery store has received financial assistance from the city, but has been unable to keep those shelves stocked in an area that in the past has often been referred to as a food desert.
SPEAKER 19 :
Around here, a good thing don’t last too long.
SPEAKER 02 :
It will impact a lot of people and a lot of families. The city owns the Linwood Shopping Center. A nonprofit operates the grocery store.
SPEAKER 20 :
What does his shirt say? I need to go back and have a freeze frame on that feller shirt. Juan, if you’d be so kind. The man’s shirt. From the gutter to the butter. What? What is that? What is that? What does that shirt mean?
SPEAKER 14 :
From the gutter to the butter. You… What does that say at the bottom?
SPEAKER 20 :
You… I don’t know. What is that?
SPEAKER 14 :
Steve was the one that told us.
SPEAKER 20 :
Steve, what’s his shirt say? Steve was like, you guys need to watch his shirt.
SPEAKER 23 :
We ran the clip. We always discussed what was the clip to run. And I was like, just pay attention to this guy’s shirt from the gutter to the butter.
SPEAKER 20 :
From the gutter to the butter.
SPEAKER 23 :
It’s like started from the bottom. Now we’re here. You’re in the gutter. Now you got the butter.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right. I kept thinking there was going to be something. I was like, oh, I think I see butt. And I just was like, man, this is going to be one of those stories where we got it’s going to be something inappropriate. I’m just saying, like, that’s the shirt. I mean, you know, you know, they ask you in advance if you want to be on camera, you know, when they show up and do this stuff. I mean, good for him. I mean, if he made some of himself. But, you know, I’m just at least if you’re going to wear a shirt like that, don’t cover the bottom with your hands. Because then we’re going to be all doing this. Like, wait, what does this shirt say? What does that say? Because it almost looks inappropriate. And you’re on, like, you’re on TV, man. And it’s a story that’s going to go national because of what they’re talking about. I really want to know what the… Cain, look at… Not that I care. I don’t need people Googling it on.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, it’s actually lyrics from Old Goody Mob from 1998, back in the late 90s.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 14 :
Got a butter.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right, there you go. Interesting. All right, so welcome… Back to the show. That’s how. And that, by the way, was. I mean, of course, Lorraine found the shirt. Yeah, she did. She literally found it already a minute ago. She’s a robot. She’s like, wait, here’s the shirt right here. I got it for purchase. If you want to.
SPEAKER 14 :
So that’s what the shirt says from the gutter to the butter. You make the choice. The choice.
SPEAKER 20 :
Good for him. There you go. That’s hysterical. All right. So this was what city? This is in Kansas city.
SPEAKER 14 :
Hold on. I’m ordering a shirt.
SPEAKER 20 :
Are you serious?
SPEAKER 14 :
What?
SPEAKER 20 :
You’re ordering the shirt right now. This was in Kansas city. All those store shelves were bare. Can I get a shot of the store shelves real quick? City funded grocery store. It’s a city funded grocery store. And I have never seen, I have never seen, that’s a store that’s like open. I have never seen, uh, I have never seen shelves like that. That’s crazy. Look at that. There’s nothing in the middle. There’s nothing in the end caps. There’s nothing. There’s no fruit. There’s no onions. There’s no nothing. There’s nothing on them shelves. And it’s a city. What is it? The sun fresh. And they’re saying it’s in decline. Well, you think it’s in decline? It’s already failed. It wouldn’t even open that long, honestly. So this sun fresh market. They’re still going there, but I don’t even know what you can… I don’t even know. Is that a kumquat at the bottom?
SPEAKER 14 :
This is one of Mom Donnie’s desires for New York.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, I’m getting there.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m getting there. They have not stocked vegetables or eggs in two weeks. Empty coolers. And they said everyone said it smells rotten when you walk in. And apparently they say it goes through ups and downs. So like within a 30-day period, like they’ll get stuff in and then it just, they don’t have anything anymore and it’s ugh. That’s what happens when you have a city-run grocery store. Who would have thought that would have happened? And you know what’s crazy is Cain said, this is literally what Ma’am Dani wants. Socialized grocery store. That’s what you get with it. It’s like the DMV of the, it’s the post office of the grocery store. It’s the, that’s what it is. By the way, Our mail, it takes, if we send something to like Kane, if I send something from here to St. Louis, it takes a month to get there. I know.
SPEAKER 1 :
I know.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s crazy. One of my kids that had her birthday this spring just got their birthday card a couple weeks ago. Not kidding. So this is like the USPS of the grocery stores. Wow. They said it smells like rotting corpses in there. Oh! How would you know what that smells like? But also, eww! Wow. Oh, that’s so bad. This is what they’re going to have in New York City. This is what they’re going to have in New York City. Well, the city runs it. So if the city runs it and it’s entirely, you know, they don’t have to be dependent upon, they don’t have to, they don’t have to ensure good customer service or anything like that because they don’t have to meet a specific standard. There’s no demand for that standard. Totally shocked. It’s already failed. When do they get more food in? I was trying to find that on social media. It doesn’t look like they’re going to get anything. I mean, food desert. We need food deserts. Or maybe you just, I don’t know, need to have an environment that grocery stores that already operate on tiny margins can actually operate in. It’s not the government’s fault. I love these people that, like it’s in downtown St. Louis. Let me just talk about downtown St. Louis. And I don’t want to hear no smack from nobody. My husband worked and he did a lot of historic renovation in St. Louis and built a studio. He got blacklisted in his industry by a bunch of jealous drug addicts who ended up… They were all Marxists. But… They ended up in St. Louis, a beautiful city like St. Louis is known as Brick City. I mean, a beautiful architecture that German wire cut brick, which is so valuable. And St. Louis made tons of it, exported it around the world. It’s incredibly valuable. People wanted they want to buy it. We lived in downtown St. Louis for a number of years because of work, homeschooled our kids. And I never understood why. The disconnect that people had. They all bitched and moaned about not having, like, a supermarket, supermarket downtown. You remember this, Cain. Like, the closest supermarket, when I lived downtown in St. Louis, was, I would have to go to, like, near the Bevo Mill area. I’d have to go down what, I can’t remember what highway that is.
SPEAKER 14 :
They had a Schnucks on. The Schnucks. Yeah, on 9th Street, they had a Schnucks there. And then the one you’re talking about is another Schnucks down there.
SPEAKER 20 :
But the one, but the, but it was a tiny, almost like wine and cheese supermarket. It wasn’t like a full-on supermarket. Yeah, yeah. It’s where you would go if you were having some wine and cheese. Let’s maybe make some charcuterie and let’s get some hors d’oeuvres. Let’s do that. That’s the kind of store it was. There was one in Soulard that had a lot of stuff that they’ve closed. And I used to go there and get some things. It was a tiny little market. But people complain. Well, you know why? Because supermarkets already operate on such small margins. St. Louis had an earnings tax. They had all kinds of taxes, all kinds of fees, crazy structures that you had to You know, weave yourself through in order to even operate a business in the area. And then, you know, the property taxes, everything else, they made it so inhospitable. And I just couldn’t get over the disconnect from the people that would joyously go and vote for the individuals that put up all these barriers to creating your wonderful supermarket in the middle of the city. And then they would bitch about we can’t believe these people that said they were going to do all the stupid status stuff when they were campaigning and we voted for them are doing all this stupid status stuff. It’s like I voted for the leopards eating faces party and I can’t believe that these leopards broke into my house and they ate my face in my kitchen like they are shocked about this. It’s like, well, what did you think was going to happen? Right. You voted for this. You created this environment. It’s not a food desert. You are just a moron that votes for moronic policies and moronic status lawmakers. That’s what you do. Good night. So that’s you know, I it just blows the mind with all of this. They can’t stores can’t stay open. They’re not there just to be charitable. It is a business. People work there. There are people that work to bring it, all of these things to you. I don’t know. It’s something else. So can we just have a quick convo about why Pedro Pascal is in every single film right now? I’m tired of him. Tired of him. He did What is He in Fantastic Four, which I’m not going to go see because I like that least out of all the superhero stuff. I’m so tired of the superhero movies. There’s nothing in theaters right now that would persuade me to go see it. I don’t know. Every movie is a Pedro Pascal movie. I saw this video online where it’s like, do you want to go see a Pedro Pascal movie, a Pedro Pascal movie, or a Pedro Pascal movie? He’s in like three movies. Can we talk about 22 real quick? Audio Sun by 22. Fans are really confused. Pedro Pascal is on a press tour. His married pregnant co-star, Vanessa Kirby. She’s lovely. She looks like a lovely lady. She’s very pretty. What behavior is this? This is weird. Watch this. This is so weird.
SPEAKER 15 :
These are gorgeous. That’s my, I think that’s my favorite image so far. Just our hands. Yeah. As long as you don’t have to see my face. Terrible confession to make in front of Gordy. Why are they so easy?
SPEAKER 20 :
Some of the best men in the world, so they don’t count. Why are they always so handsy? That’s so weird. What is up with that? And why does he come off like an infant that needs to be mothered? Right? Am I reading too much into that?
SPEAKER 14 :
No, he has admitted as such that he’s like, you know, codependent. Matter of fact, I know I saved this somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.
SPEAKER 20 :
What do you mean? He’s admitted that he’s codependent?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. Juan, this is it here. I don’t know if you have a chance to drop this. I’m going to drop this in right here.
SPEAKER 20 :
So he needs to act like a freak on his press tour?
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s exactly what he admits in this clip. I’m like… So he understands where his insecurities are, and he’s, I guess, just being open and honest about it. And these people that are with him, I guess, on these movie tours are willing to accommodate his emotional illness. Let’s listen to what he has to say here.
SPEAKER 15 :
Come on. Very codependent. Very codependent. Just like I’m very codependent on Phil.
SPEAKER 20 :
He’s like a dude I can’t stand. I’m already like judging his vibe. I’m using my discernment. And he’s a guy that I would not get along with. I can tell that immediately. He needs to be mommied. I don’t know. I just think that’s all weird. That’s all weird. Not only is he all over the theaters. I don’t like him because of what he did to Gina Carano and how he was real silent about all of that because he has a brother who’s trans. And then he said something pretty nasty about people who were questioning men and women’s sports, etc. He just seems nasty. And he’s so eager to kiss the backside of whatever Hollywood executive will give him his next role. He comes across as a desperate fame whore. That’s what he seems like.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, I noticed that. And he’s very touchy, handsy-feely.
SPEAKER 20 :
I would punch him in his face.
SPEAKER 14 :
I just put in Slack this video of when, I guess it was Willem Dafoe was getting his Hollywood star of fame here. Love Willem Dafoe. And he actually, Pedro Pascal touches Willem Dafoe’s wife on the chin lovingly. And then Willem Dafoe scolds him for this.
SPEAKER 20 :
I want to watch this. So here’s Willem Dafoe standing up. Pedro Pascal, too. Pedro Pascal’s wearing clown pants. He touches it. Oh, yeah, I see it. Willem Dafoe immediately gets it. I don’t like that. I don’t like people who are handsy like that. I’ve come across some of those people. And like you’ll see them and they’ll try to give you a hug and then they want to like hug you a little longer. And I’m like, you know, I’m being civil, but I’m also giving you a warning sign because you’re going to get kicked in the Franken beans. I just don’t like that. I don’t like that stuff. It’s weird. It’s weird to me. And she’s married. It’s weird. Is that I mean, I’m not trying to read too much into it. But also like when you display it out there on a publicity tour, you invite that. Just be a little bit more self-aware. I just can’t stand him also. I really don’t like him. If we were in school, I’d bully him, I think. I don’t like him. I don’t know. He just seems too, he’s a pick-me girl. Taking charge of your health is easier with All Family Pharmacy. If you’ve been hearing about the latest in brain and cellular health, you’re not alone.

SPEAKER 14 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, boy. So a couple of different stories here. First up. Oh, by the way, the Chuck E. Cheese dude that we told you about. Well, the guy dresses Chuck E. Cheese. You know how they they arrested the Chuck E. Cheese mouse. Anyway, so he was arrested for credit card fraud. Apparently, a lot of it. So I found another story. Actually, it was just filed. I mean, literally, it was filed like 10 minutes ago. He got arrested for credit card fraud. So remember, we were like, oh, he’s got these felonies that he was arrested for. And they never actually said what they were, which made me think he’s got bodies in basements. No, it’s credit card fraud. So I needed to update you with that. Florida man drove to a rival insurance agency and threw Molotov cocktails at it. He drove his Toyota over to the Una Vista agency in Lake Wales, Florida. Attacked it and threw Molotov cocktails because the rival agency moved in too close to the competition. Are you serious? That’s how you… What year do you think this is, my dude? He threw a ton of Molotov cocktails in it. They tracked him down because guess what? He was caught on surveillance footage. and and he did it and then went to work and they went right to his work and arrested him After they checked his car’s registration, it belonged to a local lab testing company. And he worked there. And, yeah, so they found him at work. Great job, guy. You’re so smart. You’re so smart. Let’s see. Oh, I don’t want to read. Okay. I don’t like iguanas. I mean, they’re pests, but also they have feelings, too. Tastes like chicken. A Florida man was arrested after he, he didn’t just kill an iguana, he tortured it to death. He allowed his dog to chase it and then he brutally killed it. So he’s facing a half dozen charges on this. Sorry, that’s the auto thing. He’s, oh my gosh, shut up. he’s facing a half dozen charges because he tortured it. It’s $5,000 bond. So he let his dog chase it. And then, uh, he picked it up by its tail and then started slamming it against a rock and then a sidewalk and all kinds of stuff. And, uh, everybody, he did this in front of witnesses. So yeah, you can’t do stuff like that. That’s just, you’re a psycho. Stop it. Just quit. Uh, a couple of other ones, a, uh, Apparently, everybody left their baby in a bar or a baby in the car while they went to a bar. A Florida couple was arrested. They left their baby alone in a running car while they went to go drink at a bar. Flaker County. Oh, my gosh. You know how hot it was, how hot it is outside and how humid it is outside there. They were arrested. Felony child neglect without great bodily harm. And they apparently he went and checked out. The dad went and checked once on the baby in the vehicle. before going back inside and drinking. They just said it was an infant. They didn’t say the age. The baby’s okay. And then a teen mother was arrested because she left her baby inside a hot car so she could go watch a Smurfs. 18-year-old woman in Florida. The child was flushed and crying. It was 107 degrees in there. They rescued the baby. The mom went to jail. Good night. Stick with us. Third hour on the way.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, Obama has immunity. We learned that when the Supreme Court said presidents have immunity for official acts. So anyone who says that Barack Obama is going to be prosecuted needs to go back and read that opinion.
SPEAKER 20 :
I don’t always agree with Trey Gowdy. And I was actually kind of mad at him because he sort of brushed, you know, that whole Hunter Biden line on his forty four seventy three thing just kind of under the rug. But he’s right here. You Trump has presidential immunity. And that was something that the Supreme Court found for him. And everybody kind of remembers that case. That is also applicable to Barack Obama. I mean, that’s just that’s the way it is. And so. That’s why I say I don’t think he’s never going to be prosecuted. He’s he’s there’s never going to be anything that happens with that. And, you know, the people I was reading this editorial over at CNN and it’s really bad, actually. And it was saying, well, the biggest problem is the sheer lack of evidence of any wrongdoing by Obama and other former officials. Are you kidding me? Hillary Clinton and the DNC literally paid a fine for this. Because their laundering of oppo violated federal election law. What are you talking about? Like, I feel like the person who wrote this editorial that’s leading the narrative on this over at CNN is Barack Obama. And with Barack Obama, I mean… you that’s what the investigation is for you would have i mean you have to be able to investigate and determine okay well did you green light this how do you not know what’s happening with your own fisa court i don’t believe that nobody believes that and he oversaw it there’s no way that all of this stuff is happening without his knowledge we can talk about this all day long there’s just no way that it’s not happening without his his knowledge it’s just not so But the presidential immunity issue is a significant detail. And that’s something that I think that that’s going to be the roadblock for that. I’m not the only person who thinks that, you know, there are people on the right that think this that are as much as they don’t want to as much as they dislike it. But still, that’s just the way it is. I also first off, welcome back. Dana Lash with you. Top of this third hour. The chats at Rumble Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program on DirecTV. I want to go back to this headline that I did not get. Oh, here it is. New York Post. Check this out. Biden sells his memoir for millions of dollars less than than the Obamas, millions of dollars less than Bill Clinton, even less than Hillary. What? It’s with Hachette. My first book was with Hachette. It was about 10 million. Now, I know to us, we’re like, what? That’s a lot of money. Michelle Obama, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, their memoirs They went for $60 million in 2017. Oh, Kane, right? Kane made the faces that somebody makes when they step on a Lego barefoot.
SPEAKER 14 :
Because I know what $60 million is in 2025 dollars.
SPEAKER 20 :
That was in 2017. $60 million. That was what the Obamas did. The Obamas did that. Yeah. $60 million. And… I think Bill Clinton, now this is 04, do this math, Cain. In 2004, Penguin Random House, they paid Bill Clinton for his memoir $15 million. $15 million. And earlier at an event this month, Biden was asked about this, and he was quoted as saying that he’s, quote, working my tail off to write his memoir. So it’s going to be ghostwritten by the auto pen. You know the auto pens right in this memoir. So his agent sold Hachette the rights for the book. They also repped him for his 2017 memoir. Wait, how many memoirs do you write? I thought you just get one memoir and then you’re done. Why do we have like, oh, here’s my memoir. Here’s another memoir. Like what? How many memoirs do you need? I don’t get it. So Barack Obama just did the one and he and his wife. I think it was a Twinkie package deal. They had 60 million dollars. So Biden has hinted that his memoir is going to cover his four years as president. Hmm. So I don’t know. I. They said that Biden’s health, though, that people are wondering whether or not because the prostate cancer, they said that he had aggressive form of prostate cancer and it appears hormone appears hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management, although people have been speculating as to whether or not that’s going to impact the timeline of the memoirs release. So how are you only covering the first? You’re only you’re just four years of your presidency. If you’re doing a memoir, you’re only doing four years of your presidency. You’re not going to cover the stuff that you did as VP. Or even before then, you know, you’re not going to get into how you went around the country and told everybody that that your wife was killed by a drunk driver who sped through a stop sign when in fact she was the one who failed to yield. And that guy was totally sober and she ran into him. I mean, I think wouldn’t you be interested in reading, you know, correction of the record on that? Just saying. Yeah, I would you I don’t even know. I don’t think people on the left would read the Biden memoir. I don’t even think the Bidens would read it.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m sure there’s a chapter on Clarence Thomas in there, right? Probably two chapters.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, he gets the last laugh. Yeah, that’s actually what it should be. Just do Clarence Thomas memoirs. The last laugh. Clarence Thomas. No, Biden hasn’t written anything. He’s going to have this. It’ll be ghostwritten. Most of these guys do have it ghostwritten, meaning that they have some that the publisher hires someone to write it. There are a lot of people on both sides of the aisle that do this pretty regularly. That’s and they’re usually able to come out with books almost every year because it’s a lot to write a book, even if you do it regularly. I think his previous stuff I know was ghostwritten. This is going to be auto-pinned. You know it. I wouldn’t. Would you read it? I wouldn’t read it. No. It’s just no.
SPEAKER 14 :
I lived it. Why would I want to relive it?
SPEAKER 20 :
I don’t even think Hunter Biden’s performed well, did it?
SPEAKER 14 :
He had one. I guess. Yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
Remember, that’s when he came out and he admitted that he was high as a kite on cocaine when he bought his gun.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, that’s right. I guess that answers our question.
SPEAKER 20 :
And that’s why everybody I mean, that’s why everyone said you committed a crime because he literally said I committed a crime. Well, he didn’t say it like that, but he he was he the exact same time that he in his own book said that he bought a gun. Is he also the exact same time in his own book that he said he was snorting cocaine like it was going like it was going to go extinct? That he couldn’t hoover it up enough. That’s what it was. That’s what it was like. So that’s why people were questioning the legality of his purchase. He was the one who told on himself. He’s not the smartest, is he? Goodness. So he’s… How sad is that? That’s so sad. And the… Barack Obama’s memoir outperformed Clinton’s and George W. Bush’s. Well, almost. I think… Clinton’s was three and a half million. George W. Bush’s was four million. Barack Obama’s was three point three million. So W had, you know, and I think a lot of it covered the 9-11 era. And a lot of people wanted to read about that. How sad is that, though? You’re you’re Joe Biden and you get the out of all of the presidents, you get the lowest deal, the lowest deal. You just know when your book sold, you know, you get the least amount of cash for your book. Pretty interesting. Tell you. A couple of other things also to discuss. We were talking a little bit earlier, the passing of Hulk Hogan. And then you had Mangione. And then you had… Who else was I thinking? Oh my gosh, Ozzy. And then you had Connie Francis. Kane, everybody is confused. We need to really nail down the threes.
SPEAKER 14 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 20 :
You had Michael Madsen.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right.
SPEAKER 20 :
And… I think there were two other people associated with that that made that a three. And I think Connie Francis was one of them.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right.
SPEAKER 14 :
And Malcolm Jamal Warner.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, no, I’m saying you have Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzie, Theo Huxtable. No, Theo Huxtable is Malcolm Jamal Warner. Malcolm Jamal Warner, I think.
SPEAKER 14 :
Ozzie and Huxtable.
SPEAKER 20 :
So that’s four right there. Regardless, we’re in a new group of threes.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. So it was Connie Francis, Malcolm Jamal Warner that rounded out the last three. Then this three is Ozzy.
SPEAKER 20 :
Well, who was the third one for that? Michael Madsen?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yes. Okay. And then Ozzy, Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, and George Coomans. Okay. So that’s another three that we’ve knocked out. So no one else can die right now. Less than two weeks, by the way, we did all this. And now Mangione. is the start of this new three.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, boy. So two more got to go.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, I guess.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s not my rule. It’s the rule of the universe. It’s my grandmother’s rule.
SPEAKER 14 :
Sounds heartless when you say it out loud like that.
SPEAKER 20 :
I need to actually task my mom with keeping track of all this stuff because she was the one who was, you know… So… All right, so Lorraine says Tom… I don’t know who this is. An OG Star Wars guy, an old actor. I don’t think he counts.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, yeah. Remember I brought that up and you didn’t let me count it.
SPEAKER 20 :
It doesn’t count. Is that supposed to count?
SPEAKER 14 :
Connie Francis.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s why we… Malcolm Jamal Warner. Ozzie. Hulk. George Clemens.
SPEAKER 14 :
Chuck Mangione. Michael Masden.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, so she’s right. Two more. So who’s next?
SPEAKER 14 :
Right, so Chuck Mangione needs one, and now we’ve got two more to finish this three out. Jeez. So, yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
Who’s on the death pool, man?
SPEAKER 14 :
Mm, man.
SPEAKER 20 :
I don’t know. Nobody else from that generation. It needs to be someone who’s like 150. Every year.
SPEAKER 14 :
How does Keith Richards stay in the death pool but never, ever, ever, ever dies?
SPEAKER 20 :
I don’t know. I just think that Armageddon will probably be kicked off when Keith Richards goes. I just feel like when he goes, that’s the domino, you know, because he’s he’s he’s death proof pretty much. Right. I mean, that man’s been through everything. He’s pretty much death. I think he’s pickled himself is why he’s pickled. He’s a living pickled person. So, you know, that might make some sense. I don’t know who. Now, here’s what’s funny. Now, everyone’s like, no, one more to go. Two more to go. what cracks me up and I know they’re not doing it to be mean at all whatsoever and it’s just purely innocent speculation but everybody’s throwing these names off like oh so and so looks like they’re a little weak don’t know about this one this one may be kicking off you know like so and so had to go to the hospital looks like it’s that person oh my gosh stop there is a list oh my gosh is there really and so Bruce Willis happens to be at the top stop it
SPEAKER 14 :
No. I didn’t make the list. Don’t. Take it back.
SPEAKER 20 :
Take it back.
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t know what to do. Take it back. I didn’t make it. Hurry up before it sticks. Take it back. I can’t take back what I didn’t make. I take back whatever I did. Okay.
SPEAKER 20 :
You have to say what you just said backwards.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m not sure how to do that. Number two on that list is Harvey Weinstein.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, I’m okay with him. Why not him?
SPEAKER 14 :
Number three on the list is Donald Trump.
SPEAKER 20 :
Why? That’s so stupid. I know. He’s healthy. He’s got circulatory issues because he’s 79 years old.
SPEAKER 14 :
Number four on the list is a favorite of ours, Wendy Williams.
SPEAKER 20 :
I like Wendy Williams.
SPEAKER 14 :
I like her. And then Mitch McConnell rounds out top five.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, no Bruce, no Wendy. Hands off. Fate.
SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 20 :
So apparently they spotted the largest tagged great white shark in the Atlantic, 50 miles off the coast of Nantucket. It’s called the Contender. 13 feet, 9 inches long. Well, it’s the ocean. So there’s going to be a big shark in it. And they, white sharks, great white sharks split their time between the waters down south and obviously in the summer they come to New England and they go down south. So it’s called Contender. It was pinged off the Georgia-Florida border in January. Now it’s 50 miles off the coast of Nantucket. So just remember when you’re going into the ocean, whose house is it? It’s a shark’s house. That’s right, shark’s house. They said, don’t worry. Yes, the Michigan lake turned blood red, but don’t worry. It’s totally fine. Yeah. The Department of Natural Resources for Michigan says that Lake Angeline, they had a surge of sediment that turned a traditionally clean lake into a reservoir of red. I don’t think it looks red. It just looks brown. It looks murky brown. That’s all. Kane, that does not look red. No. That looks murky brown. I think, are people colorblind around Lake Eugeline?
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s like the Mississippi.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, it looks like the Mississippi. Exactly. We’re not like, oh my word, the Mississippi done turned red. Oh my word. Oh, L-A-W-D loud. No, we don’t do that. It’s just murky brown. That’s all it is. That’s not even red. It’s dirt that’s in the lake. Calm down. It’s going to be okay. Apparently, that was a big thing. I did not know that. But it’s just dirt in the lake. That’s, you know… I like… Corn sweat. Yeah. Is adding humidity to high temperatures across the lake… Across the state. Is that like meat sweats? Like when you eat too much meat and you get meat sweats? No? It’s a thing. Corn sweat. I don’t know what… It’s a…
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s corn sweating. And in the air, it makes humidity. I’m going to try to say this.
SPEAKER 20 :
The official name for the process is called evapotranspiration.
SPEAKER 14 :
That was almost perfect.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right? It’s when water evaporates from plants like corn and soybeans during the reproductive stage and combines with other water molecules in the air. More moisture in the air means things outside feel muggier than usual. So it’s adding to the humidity. Okay. That makes sense. Reminds me I need to shade my tomatoes. I’m fighting the Texas sun now. The giant Tesla diner movie screen was put up in front of apartment balconies in Hollywood. Oh, I think it’s funny though. I’m not even sad because it’s just, I don’t know. We’ll talk about this more coming up. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 18 :
Binging that it’s all bad, but by charting a strategy from beginning to end on how we get through this moment. And we will. For God’s sakes, people, the Detroit Lions are going to win the national championship and the Super Bowl. And they were in the toilet for years.
SPEAKER 14 :
So the national championship.
SPEAKER 20 :
OK, so that’s Alyssa Slotkin. And she was talking about football. There is no national – it’s the Super Bowl. Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s true. So – I mean, if the Detroit Lions played in college football, they’d be up for the national championship.
SPEAKER 20 :
We did not just find somebody that actually knows less about football than me, did we?
SPEAKER 14 :
I think we have.
SPEAKER 20 :
Wow. Wow.
SPEAKER 14 :
I think we have.
SPEAKER 20 :
Wow. Because I was number one at that and I really enjoyed that. Damn it. Because you have the college championship and then you have the super, can you say, wait.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, it’s not Super Bowl season, so you can say it now.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, you can’t say uper say olbe during uper say olbe season, right?
SPEAKER 14 :
Right. At least that’s how I understood it.
SPEAKER 20 :
That is so stupid. They literally tell you you can’t say that on air when you’re talking about it.
SPEAKER 23 :
That’s true. They do say that.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 23 :
I don’t think we can market and sell products saying it. I think we can just say it regularly.
SPEAKER 20 :
I don’t know. I just remember affiliates going, don’t say it. Ooper, say it. Old Bay.
SPEAKER 14 :
I dare you to say it, Steve.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, try it, Steve.
SPEAKER 14 :
Go ahead.
SPEAKER 20 :
We’ll bring you on air during Super Bowl season, and you can say Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, and see what happens.
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, like if we had a Dana Show merch, we couldn’t make it like Super Bowl-themed Dana Show merch.
SPEAKER 20 :
No, I don’t even think we can talk. You have to say the big game. They always sent us out emails, and they gave us suggestions, all these other stupid things to say in lieu of Super Bowl.
SPEAKER 14 :
I just say Superb Owl.
SPEAKER 20 :
superb owl like what we do in the shadows yeah so the NFL they apparently they are so strict and litigious that the only way that you can actually say Super Bowl on air when during Super Bowl season is if you are like part of if you’re a broadcaster or a company that’s like part of the official network that’s carrying it whoops Anybody else, they can’t.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, you just did it like 10 times.
SPEAKER 20 :
I think it’s during Super Bowl season, though. That’s what you said.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s what I said.
SPEAKER 20 :
Because they want to avoid any confusion. That doesn’t mean it’s true. They literally, the NFL has a history of sending C&D, cease and desist letters, to people who use it without permission. So that’s why you have to say, the big game.
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, if we had like a game that we were going to do on the show to encourage more listeners or to get more people involved in the show and we called it our Super Bowl of whatever, I can see why they would have an issue with that. I get it.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
That makes sense.
SPEAKER 20 :
And even, yeah, like you got to have like the NFL sanctioned. So that’s why they say like there literally is advertising guidelines. Like they send out advertising guidelines for it. And they don’t want any confusion among sponsors. And you can’t say, so this is newsworthy, don’t sue us. So you can’t say like Super Sunday, game day, back to football, first and goal. Those are all protected trademarks.
SPEAKER 14 :
First and goal?
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah. They’re all protected trademarks. So that’s why everybody says the big game. you see all the stuff that we had to deal with in radio like all this stuff we can’t play music during the streaming in the streaming portion because you have to have special licensing for that and it’s super expensive and then yeah so you can’t say we’re gonna say superb owl and just have well like that season we’ll just have that right we’ll just use that anyway long story short how does she not know that because she’s like from Michigan that’s like a big football state how do you not know that stuff That’s she’s cringe, super cringe. That’s that was bad. Very bad to say. But her point that she was trying to make. Actually, I don’t even know what she was talking about that soundbite because she was what was she discussing the Epstein stuff earlier, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, I don’t.
SPEAKER 14 :
Man, that’s… I think it’s about how Democrats were performing lately, like how in the toilet their polling is, everything else, and she’s like, well, they’ll pull it out, just like the Detroit Lions.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, yeah. No, that’s not going to happen. Let’s see here. A couple of other things. I just lost this. I saw this come across, and I wanted to make sure I got it. So apparently… Let me pull this up, because this is like… I thought that I so the Ninth Circuit has just overturned the California’s ammunition background check regime. That’s huge. So they because it was unprecedented. You had to have background checks to get ammunition and all this other stuff in California. And they apparently the state admitted that they denied over 10 percent of applicants that tried, like, you know, following the law. And they weren’t even able to purchase ammunition because they were wrongfully denied. And they had data that they had to force the state to disclose that showed of the over 7000 people. Actually, it was 7342 that were wrongly rejected in just the month of January alone. Only 63 percent managed to successfully purchase ammunition by that summer. And the other ones, they kept being wrongly denied and they would have to obtain ammo through illegal in California means. And every time that you have to every time you undergo a background check, you have to pay to do it. And so they kept increasing and kept increasing and kept increasing the fees. I mean, that’s like a syntax for your natural rights. That’s that’s pretty crazy. So that, you know, I when you look at some of this stuff and when the courts actually get a chance to to genuinely adjudicate some of these laws, they never really go well for their gun controllers. That never made any sense to have background checks like that for ammunition. That’s just this just asinine. So that’s pretty significant. They. They could do an en banc review. That’s in the Ninth Circuit. So the Ninth Circuit made that determination. But it was a three-judge panel. It was a favorable panel. One of the judges, though… It was noted by Second Amendment Foundation as being kind of hostile to two issues prior. So but they said that, you know, the state cannot conflate, you know, the course of conduct with the burden that’s being placed on the conduct. And so this is going to be interesting. to see what precedent this establishes and how this affects other things. Yeah, because background checks for ammunition is asinine. You know the other thing that they’re trying to bring back up and litigate? So special session for Texas, and they’re dealing with a number of things, but not property taxes. Hey, guess what they’re focusing on, though, Cain? What? Oh, man, you got Dan Patrick out there, Tipper Gorn 2.0. They’re focusing on hemp. Oh, geez. I I’ve talked about this before and I don’t want to relitigate it, but Texas is bringing it up for special session. And I’ve I always think that this is so lame to do because it’s been legal and it’s tightly regulated. The it’s not about smoking marijuana. And for the record, I am not a quote unquote pothead and I don’t consume any of this stuff. I just am an actual patriot that likes consistency. I don’t like big government and I like consistency from my government. And it’s been illegal. There haven’t been the issue there. I mean, you have more alcohol related fatalities hand over fist than anything else, particularly with youth and, of course, opioid epidemic. But this idea that. I don’t know why Dan Patrick decided to make all these like insane claims about like THC and all this other stuff. People keep talking about, you know, synthetics and that. And there’s a lot of people who know just enough about this issue to get, I think, to sound almost informed on it. And I’m not saying that to be mean, but good heavens, it’s like impossible to have conversations with anyone about it because they, people are nasty and, Even on the right, people assume that they start acting like the left. If you disagree with them, they view it as a personal attack. Someone got mad at me because I said, well, this isn’t about smoking joints in the street. This is strictly about consumables. And then they got mad and tried to make fun of my radio sponsors. I don’t know. Maybe they needed to go get their testosterone shot for the day. I don’t know. But… The whole point is that it’s not about smoking joints in the street. It’s about the consumable aspect of THC and it’s in drinks too. This is one of the things that I started looking into because I didn’t realize that how much of it was in drinks. And apparently there are a lot of people and I’ve had headlines like this. We talked about this actually in our headline section before. There are people that I don’t like drinking anymore, but they’ll drink like one of the THC drinks. And the discussion is that it’s very it’s very competitive for the liquor lobby and the liquor lobby is not a fan of it. Dan Patrick is very well acquainted with the liquor lobby. And I’ll remind everyone that during covid lockdown. Liquor stores were considered essential. Churches were only considered essential after there was a large fight about it, but they had a lot of restrictions on them and not the same ones that liquor stores had. Just saying. So just keep that. That’s the power of the liquor lobby. I really feel like it’s down to that because it’s already strictly regulated. It’s not it’s illegal for minors to have them. They’re not marketed to kids and everything is tightly controlled and tightly regulated already. And I see a lot of people out there going, well, kids still get them. Well, kids get alcohol also. Kids are out there driving vehicles and getting in trouble without having driver’s licenses. Kids are out there vaping. Kids are always going to do things and do things before they are of legal age, as they always have done throughout humanity. But that is not an argument to go and outright ban everything because some people’s kids do it. That is the gateway drug to gun control arguments. That’s like saying, well, someone did something bad with their guns, so all guns need to be banned. Somebody allowed their kid to access THC edibles, so now everything needs to be banned. Well, I don’t believe the protestations about it’s for the kids unless the people start banning all alcohol and everything else. That’s never going to happen. Instead of bitching about why the government can’t raise your kids better, raise them yourself better. I know a lot of people don’t want to be indicted about bad parenting, but I’m going to tell you something. You know, my kids may be smart asses and God love them, but I’ve never had an issue with my kids doing anything like that because we have a zero tolerance policy in our house. We make that very clear. And that’s not just applicable to my kids. Any kid that walks in my house, I got a zero tolerance policy. And we laid it out early on what our expectations were for our kids. I’m not like some gold medal parent. I’m just an average everyday parent. We used to have a lot of those. Now it’s like we’ve got a lot of people whose measure of patriotism extends only so far as they’re willing to put into parenting. You realize what a leftist argument it is. Raise your own damn kids and quit demanding that the government make up for what you aren’t willing to do. And if that offends you, then maybe you’re one of the people that ought to be offended by it. I just don’t understand this. The government is not responsible for raising your kids. And the stuff that Dan Patrick goes out there and says, it’s insane. And again, it’s strictly regulated. strictly regulated, and it’s already illegal for minors to have them. So, we see where we’re going here? I mean, goodness. I did not do anything like that when I was a kid. I still haven’t. I mean, I drink socially, but I also had a mom that laid down the law, and I knew what the expectations were. And it’s weird because the people that Are very upset with my position on this that they’re always the ones that well, you know We know kids whose parents, you know, let them do this in the house blah blah blah. Okay, you’re proving my point They’re not parenting So why does the government, why are you opening the door and allowing the government to come in and do what you effectively will not do? That’s the argument that’s being made. People need to realize this is just a variable. It’s not even about THC, just like it’s never about firearms. It’s always about control. And I’ll tell you something. There is a regulatory industry or an industry that is made out of the regulations of this where you have people that come in and they see, oh, wow, they’re going to set this up to where it’s only medicinal and they got to get these licenses. Well, let’s be the whole structure for that. And they’ll come in and they work at their legislation. So they end up. being the be all end all monopoly of it in a state because they get to control the licensing and the regulation and the whole structure for it. That happens. So you haven’t done anything except you are essentially funding a legalized cartel. That’s what you’re doing. And by the way, one other quick note, I had someone who was saying, well, you know, this is just cartel products. That’s an actually ignorant statement. It’s not. This is stuff that’s, you know, from what I understand, it’s U.S. and there’s a lot of veteran owned businesses that are involved in this. And I think that that this is why we don’t need that input from those types of people. I don’t mind if people disagree on stuff, but dear heavens, do it based on fact. Otherwise, it’s literally the same process as arguing with gun controllers, people who don’t know what they’re talking about, but they just know this looks shooty and bad and they want it banned. realize that these are variables and they can be changed out at will. It’s the formula that you’re falling into. We have a lot more on the way. And my mind’s not going to be changed on it. So there you go. Don’t send me hate mail. I’ll read it on air for money. And make sure you sign up over at Substack, chapter and verse, all kinds of good stuff that goes out. Get the prep every day on there as well. So a couple of things I’m making sure that we get set for because Congress is getting ready to – everybody is going to be coming home for a little recess. So then there’s not going to – that’s good though, right? Because that means that there’s not going to be – Stuff happened in D.C., right? Did you see, by the way, what the left was doing? They launched a verbal attack against Ozzy Osbourne right after he passed. We’re going to talk more about this tomorrow because he dared to perform in Israel. It’s a bunch of anti-Semites. It’s a bunch of cousin fornicating anti-Semites that decided to get mad at Ozzy Osbourne. A bunch of terrorists that got mad at him because he had performed in Israel. And so they immediately launched into him right after he passed away. Horrible people. So today in stupidity, Kane. All right.
