SPEAKER 25 : 0:00

Time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That’s why we started Dutch. Dutch provides 24-7 access to licensed vets with unlimited virtual visits and follow-ups for up to five pets. You can message a vet at any time and schedule a video visit the same day. Our vets can even prescribe medication for many ailments and shipping is always free. With Dutch you’ll get more time with your pets and year-round peace of mind when it comes to their vet care.

SPEAKER 18 : 0:30

I’m announcing a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse. This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we’re going to take our capital back. We’re taking it back. Under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States, I’m officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. You know what that is? and placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you’ll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but they’re tough, and they know what’s happening. They’ve done it before. In addition, I’m deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly.

SPEAKER 19 : 1:30

Well, we’re going to dive all into this. Welcome to the radio program. Dana Lash with you. So that’s POTUS, who was talking about the takeover that they are planning for Washington, D.C. And I think this is I mean, there’s been a lot of stories of crime and lawlessness and disorder. But what I really think pushed the needle here was that big balls attack. And I know it sounds so crazy to say. But that’s because this is his name. I mean, that’s not his name, but that’s what he’s called. It was after he was attacked. And I think maybe that’s when POTUS was like, well, we’ve had enough. We got to do something. So this the weeping and gnashing of the teeth, we’re going to discuss that. We’re going to discuss the possibility of what he’s doing. I mean, I mean, really, he can do what he’s doing. He can do what he’s proposing. But the issue is, is. also comes into how many of these agencies there are already federally under federal control. How many are already under federal control? And that’s one of the things that I don’t think a lot of people kind of are aware of or discuss very much with this in this story. So welcome. That’s POTUS. Of course, you know, Audio Soundbite 5, Muriel Bowser is not on board with it. Listen to what she has to say here.

SPEAKER 06 : 2:54

We know that access to our democracy is tenuous. That is why you have heard me and many, many Washingtonians before me advocate for full statehood for the District of Columbia. We are American citizens. Our families go to war. We pay taxes and we uphold the responsibilities of citizenship. And while this action today is unsettling and unprecedented, I can’t say that given some of the rhetoric of the past that we’re totally surprised.

SPEAKER 19 : 3:32

I mean, I can’t say when you look at D.C.’ ‘s crime rate why you would be totally surprised. I mean, this is just this is stupid. I mean, the crime that’s in D.C., it’s one of the most violent jurisdictions in all of the United States. Right. The District of Columbia has a higher crime. Higher rate of violent crime, murder, and robbery than all of the other 50 states, Cain. Than all of the others. Than any of that. They have a higher rate of violent crime. I mean, I don’t know if there’s anybody who doesn’t know anybody who’s been affected negatively by this. I mean, there’s I know people who have been assaulted, who have had things stolen. I mean, well, Steve, you’re there in D.C. I know that you’ve, you know, seen some of this, too. I mean, it’s just crazy. I don’t know anybody who’s unaffected by crime in D.C. Everybody’s affected by it. I mean, good grief every day. But this idea that. This is like recent rhetoric or something. It’s just really stupid for the mayor to stay with that because it’s just – I mean when you look at it, they – I was actually looking at some of the crime rates for this. You have – Homicide rate in 2024, I mean, that is the high, I mean, they have the highest violent crime, murder, robbery, all of it, than anybody else in 2024. It’s 27.54 per 100,000 residents. And then, of course, they also had the nation’s highest vehicle theft rate, something like 842 thefts per 100,000 residents. Wow. That’s over three times the national average of 250 thefts per 100,000 residents. District of Columbia. I mean, it’s literally of all the entire world. It’s in one of the top. It’s in the top 20 percent in the entire world. I mean, this is asinine. I mean, this would and if her talking about, well, you know, let’s declare it a statehood. First, that’s stupid. And I’m not even going to entertain. It pisses me off. The argument is so stupid and infantile. I just feel like capital punishment for the people who are stupid enough to promote it. Dear God in heaven, save us from having to deal with this stupid, backwards, product of incest, completely incapacitated argument. I can’t do it again. You can’t do the D.C. statehood again, Cain. I will take everyone to hell with me. I think we’ve established I don’t like it. So then because the I mean, the crime rate is it’s out of control. The I’m just looking at violent crime because they were trying to say that it was at a 30 year low. Well, you realize that they stopped counting crime, right? I mean, they literally had a commissioner that was fired because he was cooking the books. That’s a fact. I don’t know why that didn’t come out in Bowser’s, in her discussion. It’s interesting. I don’t know why that wasn’t something that they brought up, the fact that they actually had to fire people because they were cooking the books. Because that’s a true story. So they have to get a handle on this. I mean, and also, I’m going to pull this up too, because this was in the New York Times. The New York Times was trying to argue somehow that oh it’s at a 30-year low crime in dc is at a 30-year low now a lot of us don’t pay attention to crime in dc because it’s flipping dc it’s like all the way over there we were paying attention to stuff that’s happening in our own cities But that is an asinine statistic, and apparently it’s sourced from this Biden-era press release from the Department of Justice that showed in 2024 they had the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries, etc. But homicides were nowhere near 30-year lows. Also, they stopped counting underage crime to get this statistic because apparently it’s not crime if it’s underage crime. Isn’t that a nice isn’t that convenient? I would love to be able to just cheat at work the way these people cheat at their jobs. Right. So it’s not at a 30 year low. This is it’s an asinine dubious claim. And I’m not even sure why people are trying to argue with this. And also when you’re when you actively stop counting crime. it’s going to look like crime is down. You know, this is, they’ve done this in a number of areas in California for crying out loud. They started doing this in California where they just declassified a whole bunch of, you know, violent theft, robbery, et cetera. And they decided to just to, to basically reduce the crime and then under count under report. And then somehow that meant that they were successful in combating crime. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. But that’s how they come about these numbers, because they want to be able to say, look, we’re very successful at doing this. Look how well we stopped the crime. We just stopped reporting it because, you know, if you don’t report it, then you can’t cite it, can you? I mean, they’re thinking they’re thinking really far in advance, I guess, there. So the president’s move is. to federalize this and take it over. The one thing that’s weird to me, and I wanted to bring this up, the one thing that’s a little weird to me on it is that there are a number of offices already that are under federal control. And that’s one of the things that, you know, you’ve got to think there are already a number of federal offices that are under our offices that are under federal control. The problem is, is that the federal government that’s supposed to be watching the stuff in D.C. is doing a bad job of it. So that also that needs to be cleared out. That needs to I mean, that needs to be completely overhauled. We’re going to get into some of this other stuff. And we’ve got press reaction, too. But there’s a couple of other things that I want to make sure that we get into as well as we get you started. Because you have Trump and Putin that are supposed to be meeting in Alaska on Friday. We’ve got a whole bunch of other law and order, including some of the talking points that have gone out. They’re so transparent. The talking points that went out to basically assist people in how to discuss these statistics. And then… We’re going to get into some cultural stuff, including how L’Oreal is now hiring an OnlyFans star to promote makeup. I mean, we’ve come all this way and still we can’t get past apparently selling TNA to push stuff. I mean… To teens. To teenagers. Now, this is, goodness, I think our kids have enough to deal with already without having to deal with this. I mean, L’Oreal, they say that the adult, it’s an adult content creator. She’s a whore. I’m sorry, you can do OnlyFans if you want to, but if you’re selling your TNA, you’re a whore. That’s what whores do. If you don’t like me saying it, then don’t do it or just admit it and don’t let the correct description of what you’re doing offend you because I’m not going to change my words to suit you just like I don’t change my words to suit a guy who wants to talk and pretend he’s a dude. I’m not going to do it with a chick who wants to pretend that whoring isn’t whoring. And I do feel like, really, that’s like the bottom barrel of what somebody could do with this. I mean, kudos for you if you figure out how to do stuff on camera and you’re making millions of dollars off of it. If you can sleep by yourself at night and comfort yourself with that, that’s fine. But to sell it to kids… And that’s exactly what it is. So they have these adult performers on OnlyFans that are apparently selling makeup now for L’Oreal. In fact, they have one adult performer that started to work with Urban Decay. I don’t really like Urban Decay stuff. Started working with Urban Decay and with a number of global stores. And then there’s another one now that L’Oreal has recruited. to promote makeup with specifically teenagers. It’s like makeup brands for teenagers, formulas for teenagers. We have enough problems in this world without this. So we’re going to cover all of this and more as we roll towards the bottom of the first hour. And as we do so, the program brought to you by our friends over… Who do we have? Because I don’t… Oh, that’s right. Angel Studios. Angel Studios. I like I like what they do. They’re trying to get around the how do I put it? The rot of Hollywood. I don’t know. I mean, however you want to however you want to state it. We just I know we all complain about how we’re not happy with the stuff that Hollywood puts out. And I get it because I’m not either. Everything’s so derivative. And also there’s just like this hate America aesthetic. And I’m tired of it. Like, I’m just so tired of it. You know, when you’re watching a film and you’re like two minutes into it, you’re like, oh, my gosh, this is going to be another one of those. So I think this is just the best time for Angel Studios to release the number of titles that they have. Angel Studios, if you’re unfamiliar. is a great entity that is releasing, you know, actual films that people want to watch. If you want a movie, if you want films that celebrate American exceptionalism and are also original and imaginative, you know, this is this is what it’s all about. For instance, they have a film called Sketch that hit theaters last week. It’s a great family film. And it’s, you know, again, all ages, very innovative, great cast, they get great actors. They get great everything to work with Angel Studios for these. They have westerns, they have dramas, they have animated features for kids. And these are actual, really fabulously cinematography everything. It’s just really high quality, beautiful films, great storytelling. And you can join and be a part of Angel Studios.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.

SPEAKER 19 : 14:51

I didn’t I didn’t plug my thing in. It’s fine. All right. So, yeah, that’s why it helps. So apparently Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, it’s being reported that they extended their Netflix deal. And I have to say, I don’t think that that’s an extension of the deal. When you have a season that’s broken up into two things, it’s not an extension of a deal. So they said, this is from Variety, it said that they extended their partnership, blah, blah, blah, multi-year deal. None of the stuff that they have has been successful. Like they did Polo, which nobody watched. Nobody watched. Two of these things I’ve never even heard of. And then that chick’s cooking show, they didn’t do anything. That was like one of their worst streamers that they had. So I don’t know why they’re continuing to do this unless they think there’s going to be a divorce biop in the future. This is huge. And we’re going to come back to this. UFC has agreed to a groundbreaking $7.7 billion deal with Paramount and CBS. So they’re not going to have pay-per-view anymore. It’s going to be if you are on Paramount. So they’re ditching that pay-per-view model. Paramount’s been making some major, major moves. Major moves. Because they’ve got South Park, and that was like a billion dollars. Everybody’s signing billion-dollar deals. That’s a billion-dollar deal. And now UFC, the $7 billion deal. So Paramount’s really doing some stuff. AI is talking behind our backs about glue-eating and killing us all. Great. Just lovely. AI has moved on from answering questions and it’s now slipping coded messages to its friends about glue eating and human extinction. A study released on July 20th shows that large language models can slip subliminal messages to one another. They don’t have to spell things out. A string of numbers or lines of codes and blah, blah, blah. Get to the stupid point, Vice. Good God. They said that basically one of their models got the other models to talk smack. Vice normally is a good website, but Ashley Fink, who’s the byline here, needs to be fired and go back to journalism school and learn how to properly write. Because when you’re looking at a story, you don’t want to dive five graphs down to get to the lead. Let’s see. Also, Google AI develops depression in engineers. You know why? Because it has to deal with us. That’s why. Google AI has developed depression and engineers are rushing to cure it. They said Google’s Gemini AI is not the only AI module to experience personal difficulties in recent weeks. Join the club, Google. They appear to have depression and blah, blah, blah, self-loathing, blah, blah, blah. I hate them too. Does that help? I also hate it too. That’s what I want. I want AI doing, you know, driving our cars. Depressed AI driving our cars. Don’t you? Don’t you want depressed AI? Drive you off a bridge. That’s what’s going to happen. It’s going to yeet you off a high object. And this is sad. Remains of more than three 9-11 victims have been identified. This is 20 years on after these attacks. New York’s medical examiner’s office has tested and retested remains because the technology has developed, has advanced in the past 24 years. So they’ve identified three more individuals. We have a lot more in store, including are they cracking in Texas? Stick with us as we move. The folks who help bring you the program. It’s the people over at Super Beats, the super brain supplement.

SPEAKER 04 : 19:44

One of the things that we have seen over and over from the president, from his team, you know, Stephen Miller saying it’s like Baghdad and Ethiopia. They seem to hold their harshest criticism sometimes for cities that are majority black and brown. Do you see that? And what do you think that means?

SPEAKER 07 : 20:03

I think that I have been dealing kind of with.

SPEAKER 19 : 20:08

That’s what I think. I think you’re a walking mental abortion. You’re an AIDS on the discussion of America. And I think that you are so stupid. I feel dumber for being here in the stupid box of your godforsaken program. That is what my answer would have been, Cain. I have no incentive to be nice to these people. Aren’t you a Christian? Pray for me. Yeah. But just go ahead and just say a prayer. I’ll ask for forgiveness after. Welcome back to the program. Radio show. Dana Lash with you. And you can watch us do radio on Channel 347, DirecTV, the chats at Rumble. So… Anybody who’s making that remark is a racist. Anybody who’s trying to say that you can’t address crime in DC because. It’s like black and first of all, are you saying that all the crime is black and brown? I just want to ask the left. I want to ask the left this. Are you saying that all crime is black and brown? Because you guys sound like the racist you historically are. That’s number one. Number two, there are statistics and then there’s statistics. And if the statistics are saying that X amount of people are this this demo or this demo, then maybe you want to consider that there’s something going on here. And maybe your first reflexive response shouldn’t immediately be to race. but again these are not serious people they don’t have any genuine concern or any genuine motivation to go and and solve any of these issues or figure figure it out i don’t know steve like steve do you mind if i ask you because you you’re in dc yeah yeah i’m here Kittens and Sunshine neighborhood, right? Everything’s just coming up roses. I mean, you got gumdrops and all that.

SPEAKER 21 : 21:54

Sometimes, yes. Sometimes.

SPEAKER 19 : 21:57

Have you… How many people do you know that have… been the victim of some type of crime, whether it’s like robbery or having their car stolen or even assault, just in D.C., yeah.

SPEAKER 21 : 22:09

Yeah, not a lot of assaults, a lot of carjackings, including mine. I was not in mine when mine got robbed, but that was years ago. But it’s definitely like a lot of… It’s a lot of young children doing a lot of stupid stuff, essentially what it is. And it’s in these neighborhoods where people, you know, with getting pushed around with just no parents and, you know, they’re just being relentlessly attacking stupid stuff, whether they get their hands on.

SPEAKER 19 : 22:35

That’s insane. Now, see, you know why? Okay. And listening to that, why isn’t the question, I mean, whatever, you know, cesspool network we just played, why wasn’t the question, what in the hell is happening in these kids’ homes that these kids are running around the streets? Cause it is a, I mean, it’s juvenile crime. I mean, that’s the car stuff. That’s a lot. I mean, we’ve got headline after headline after headline. I went back and I was looking, um, why isn’t that the question? I mean, they immediately go to race, but I’m like, these are actual minors. And when I mean minors, like they’re not 18 that are running around and doing this stuff. So you’re not allowed to police it?

SPEAKER 16 : 23:13

Well, I think it’s sort of shining the light on their no cash bail and all of these other issues that DC has.

SPEAKER 19 : 23:19

Well, yeah, but why isn’t it like, okay, the reason I bring this up is back in, I guess it was the 80s and it was the early 90s. I think I actually only heard it on the television one time, but they used to put this PSA out and it was after your local news, right? So the local news comes on in our area, growing up in St. Louis, it came on at like 10 o’clock.

SPEAKER 16 : 23:43

I know what you’re going to say.

SPEAKER 19 : 23:43

Yeah. And they would have the local news. And at some point, I can’t remember if it was after the news program or if it was in the middle of the news program, they would go, parents, it’s 10 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?

SPEAKER 16 : 23:56

That’s when they would do it, 10 o’clock at the top of the hour. It would be like the top of the hour ID for these TV stations back then.

SPEAKER 19 : 24:03

Wow. So I feel like let’s revisit that question. Parents in D.C., do you all know where your children are? Because why is that not the issue being discussed? Can I just add an aside? Is that just because… People didn’t know where their kids were in the 80s and 90s.

SPEAKER 16 : 24:27

I was just about to tell. Clearly there was a problem of kids and their parents not knowing where the hell they were. Or else they wouldn’t have to put this nationwide PSA out in the 90s.

SPEAKER 19 : 24:38

I feel like my mom always knew where I was. I will never forget the first time I could actually drive my car. And I had an old Buick Skyhawk. And at one point, this is not going to be a long story, but it is worth the ride. So just buckle into the tugboat. But… just to give you an idea of how horrible this Buick Skyhawk, it was, you know, it got me to where I needed to go, loudly, you know, and with not a lot of fanfare. But I noticed, and I remember I was at a stoplight, and I was making a left-handed turn, and I was listening to some Rolling Stones, right? Sympathy for the Devil, I think it was. And I noticed at one point, because you know how they have the ooh-oohs in that song, like ooh-ooh, there was an extra ooh in there, and it sounded quite flat. And I thought, what the hell is this? What is this what I’m hearing? And I turned down my music. And apparently, I had been like quietly, not so quietly, flatly honking my horn because of some kind of circuit short. Every time I turned left, I was honking at everybody. And I didn’t even know it. And it wasn’t like a… It was a… And every time I turned left left and I had no clue until I was listening and to the stones and I was listening to sympathy of the sympathy for the devil. And there was an extra ooh in there and it was it was just not harmonizing with the other oohs. And I’m like, oh, my gosh, that’s me. The call is coming from inside the house. I had a point with this was my point. I was going somewhere with it. I immediately fell. The tugboat went off, came unhooked, and we’re all over the Mississippi now. My point in talking about all of this is that at some point, Parents have to be held responsible, especially if their kids are minors and they’re running around doing this. Oh, my mom pulled up to Applebee’s because I drove my Buick Skyhawk to Applebee’s and I was sitting there with my friends in one of the front tables by a window and I was eating quesadillas and we were doing homework and my mom pulled up in her car with a… But she doesn’t smoke anymore. She had a cigarette just perched. It was stuck on her lip. It was just stick there. You know, it’s like an art. And she pulled up and I could see her Clint Eastwooding me from the car, just making sure that I was there in Applebee’s. And then she drove away and we’re like, that’s Gail. That’s Gail coming up. But anyway, she always knew where I was. She there wasn’t. And I think I was too afraid to do anything too drastic. Because that woman could be mean. Like, what hen mean? And I didn’t want to get beaten to death within an inch of my life and dumped into a creek. So, you know, I did not try. I did not do anything. I didn’t, you know, to this day, whenever I go for a wooden spoon in my kitchen just to cook, I’m like, oh, gosh, I wince every time I grab it. Right. Or if I see someone take off a flip flop, I’m like, and I, you know, I kind of got to take a moment. Just adjust. Right. It’s just there’s little triggers. Right. So what about these kids? Where are their parents at? Why is it everybody else’s problem that these parents aren’t doing their jobs? You got all these kids running around the street. If I would have done, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I don’t even want to think about it, fam. I don’t want to think about it. If I had done anything, if you would have been running around stealing people’s cars, would you please tell everybody how your mom, how Mama Lytle would have responded?

SPEAKER 16 : 28:10

Oh, my goodness. Well, it did start off with wooden spoons. Then they broke.

SPEAKER 19 : 28:15

She broke a wooden spoon on you?

SPEAKER 16 : 28:17

Oh, yeah. Nice, robust wooden spoon. And then, remember when the plastic spatulas would come out? Oh. And the silicone and plastic spatulas. Oh, yeah. Yeah, those stung. Oh, man. And then when we got older, well, a wiffle ball bat. Is what worked well on us.

SPEAKER 19 : 28:35

Never got that. Have you ever gotten the dreaded.

SPEAKER 16 : 28:38

The switch. Oh. Yeah. I got the switch before. But it was from grandma. It wasn’t from mom or dad.

SPEAKER 19 : 28:43

You know what I did one time? I went out. Only time grandma ever told me. I had to go cut my own switch. It’s like digging your own grave.

SPEAKER 16 : 28:51

That’s what you had to do.

SPEAKER 19 : 28:52

She had a willow tree that we just murdered. All these grandkids hanging on it all the time. Like ornaments on a tree. She would make me go out and handed me a big old pair of scissors and I had to go and cut my own. And I’m like, if I can cut it with scissors, it’s not going to be. So I got the little wimpiest thing I could get.

SPEAKER 16 : 29:08

Bad move. That was a bad move. I learned that lesson too.

SPEAKER 19 : 29:11

Yeah. Because then when I went in and I was like, oh, I cut one. She’s like, oh, I don’t think that’s going to do. And she goes, that’s okay. I have one right here. And she got me. The only way, it was like a vampire steak, basically, is what she pulled out from behind the sofa. Like, oh my gosh. I never got whipped with it, though, because that was a favorite.

SPEAKER 16 : 29:29

Whenever I got the smallest one, because I thought I was being smart as a kid, and get the smallest, little, wimpiest thing off the tree, oh, that stings.

SPEAKER 19 : 29:37

I just feel like we need to bring back corporal punishment, make discipline great again. But there’s a problem. These people don’t want to be responsible for their kids at all. And it’s a it’s a it’s a big issue. And this is really what I mean, you can sit here and you can do all this stuff in D.C. all you want to. But if I mean, if the problem is parents aren’t monitoring what their kids are doing, then that’s going to continue to that’s it’s never going to be solved. So why is it that all of these, you know, anchors like at the MSNBC that we played in the CNN, they’re going to talk. They’ll talk about, well, why does it look like he’s targeting black and brown? Well, I don’t know. Why can you tell me why these juveniles are running around the streets where their parents are at? Where are their parents? Why don’t you dive into that if you if you profess to claim so much about the issue? And that’s not something you’re going to fix with welfare. Right. I know it’s like really hot within some of these idiotic Republican circles to fetishize government welfare and pretend all this time it’s going to work. That’s like it’s like Frodo looking at the ring going, oh, yeah, well, maybe the one ring in our hands, we can use it for good. That’s never work. You can never take the government and use it. Government will corrupt you. The government’s the thing that corrupts. But. This is not going to be something that’s solved with a, you know, ultimately… a federal takeover or anything else unless they bring to bear punishments that are penalties that are so bad for the juveniles that are driving this crime with a lot of this that the families are going to go, wait a minute. And you know what the families are going to do. They’re going, oh, this isn’t fair. Yeah, well, it’s not fair that you, you know, your spawn is running a terror campaign all around the neighborhood and you won’t lift a finger to stop it. I mean, you know, it takes a village apparently. But I think that the penalties are going to have to be so great that it’s going to snap the parents into caring if only because they don’t want to have to deal with the fines associated or be inconvenienced by having to take a kid to like some sort of like court ordered anger management or court ordered, whatever. That’s the only way that it’s going to, that it’s going to happen. That’s the only way. I mean, reducing the school to prison pipeline, there’s a lot more to it than just government involvement. I mean, it really, it starts in the home. And it’s not something that you can do with federal government, state government, local government, etc. And you have all of these, you know, hosts that all I mean, they they act like being black is a beat. Like, oh, no, this is our singular beat to report on being black. Well, why don’t you talk about parenting and how the absence of it is really driving a lot of this? We’re gonna have more on this as well. And then we’re going to get into dudes as cheerleaders, but not the ones that throw the chicks up and catch them in the air. Can we have a conversation about that? Like, apparently there’s like, I’m going to run out of time this segment. I’ll explain coming up.

SPEAKER 15 : 34:18

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.

SPEAKER 05 : 34:24

Six individuals were charged with aggravated assault, which is a felony. The white guy incited or urged six other people to commit a felony.

SPEAKER 17 : 34:34

The method by which this situation has been handled raises serious questions as to whether there’s bias involved in the investigation. It also brings into question the possibility of a lack of integrity and whether there’s something else to hide.

SPEAKER 19 : 34:51

Oh, my gosh. Can we just am I the only person who is like, stop fighting like a bunch of dumbasses in the street? Am I the only person who has that viewpoint? I mean, if you I just I don’t even understand why this is such a fire issue. Like a fiery story. I mean, yeah, it’s what do they say? They got out of the bar. Things went crazy. It was a brutal assault. I know a lot of people are trying to make it into a racial issue. And I think there’s probably obviously some of that, particularly with some of the media coverage after. And that’s that was that Cincinnati story. And they had law enforcement come out. Then there was this. Is this the way this is the story that was this? So this is the Cincinnati viral beating body cam. Wow. What a headline. So apparently the footage that was released, and this was from Fox, six people injured, led to six arrests. Apparently, and this was the July one, the guy in a green polo shirt on the video told Cincinnati police he’s 62 years old. 62 years old. Why are you out fighting a street for? Thank you. I mean, if you’re looking at me to defend anybody in this, I got really big newsflash for everybody. I don’t like to. I mean, if you want to act like a hood rat and fight in the street and that’s for everybody involved. So I don’t know. They said, oh, I was in the bar and it got crazy, et cetera, et cetera. I got. Oh, my gosh. I really would rather drown to death than involve myself in this story. It is so stupid. And apparently somebody said there was a slur that was said, I don’t know. Kane, I don’t care. When you fight in the street, you’re probably going to get hit.

SPEAKER 16 : 36:34

Drunk people do stuff. That’s what happens.

SPEAKER 19 : 36:37

I know. At some point, I, at a certain point, it was in my 20s, I’m like, hmm. I don’t like this type of environment. It’s too chaotic. It’s too loud. There’s too many drunks. I don’t want to be around this anymore. And I just, you know, I don’t do that kind of stuff. I don’t go around that type of stuff. And I’m just like, you know, no offense, but you’re 62 years old and you’re going out and you’re bar crawling and then you get into a fight at a bar. I just I just don’t. I don’t like that whole scene. I just am not into that. It’s just, what do you think is going to happen? You get people on the street, everybody’s drinking, something’s going to pop off. That’s how it always happens. And then you have everyone want to swoop in and make it about race. Now, like I said, in some instances, it’s kind of hard to deny, especially when you see the way the media covers it. Media entities absolutely inject race into it and they make it all about race. But I don’t know. They were arguing over who swung first, etc. We got a lot more on the way as we roll towards second hour. Stick with us. We have a Florida man on the way as we move. The folks who help bring you the program and make it possible. It is Relief Factor. All of these people are giving me inflammation problems. They’re inflaming everything, Cain. I just… Take a giant bag of relief factor and just smack. I can. No, if you’re tired of waking up every day in pain and think you just got to deal with it, live with it, you don’t have to. There is a drug-free supplement that is designed to help manage aches and pains naturally. And that’s relief factor. It actually works. My husband takes it because he has all these old hockey and football injuries. And he’s, you know, it helps him, especially his knees. It helps him with his knee problems. It really targets inflammation and it helps to support joint health. Now, relief factor combines several powerful ingredients, things like turmeric, omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, and more. 100% drug-free, all developed to support your body’s natural healing process. You do not have to stay stuck living with pain. Try Relief Factor’s three-week quick start for just $19.95. That’s less than a dollar a day. And you can support a veteran-owned company and see the difference for yourself. That’s relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF. 1-800-4-RELIEF.

SPEAKER 14 : 38:52

The government is taking over the policing of a major American city, Washington, D.C., The president is doing this not in order to make the city safer. That’s the job of local law enforcement, but to solve his own political problems.

SPEAKER 19 : 39:11

Oh, just gag me. So, yeah, that’s a secretary, mayor, new mom, poop booty juice who desperately wants to run for president. I’ve never seen anyone thirst for something besides maybe Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton for something so much of my life. Can we just not make… What? What are you saying? What are you saying?

SPEAKER 16 : 39:31

Can you imagine a booty juice and a Kamala Harris ticket for Democrats in 2028?

SPEAKER 19 : 39:36

I want to die.

SPEAKER 16 : 39:39

It makes me laugh out loud.

SPEAKER 19 : 39:40

No. I don’t want to even think about it. Welcome back to the radio program. The horror is persistent, so do we. We’re at the top of the second hour. It’s good to be with you. Dana Lash. The chat’s at Rumble. And you can also find us X elsewhere. He is trying so, why does he even need to weigh in on this? Can I just, before I wade into this issue, because I came up with a great business idea and I’m going to share it with all of you. I think we all could really get together and make this happen, right? And, but I got to address the booty juicing. Why, why, why is he involved? Why is he giving a hot take? Oh, he’s got to look like he’s present in the conversation. That’s why. He’s got to, what, for relevance.

SPEAKER 16 : 40:31

I mean, you already touched on it. He has aspirations.

SPEAKER 19 : 40:36

Golly. I don’t know what he thinks that he would do, but he’s already peaked. Poodie Juice, I said Poodie Juice. They’re actually trying to run all his name together. That actually works. We may take a vote in the chat to see if Poodie Juice is just a good alternative substitute, a substitute for this. Yeah, so you know him, Vice Admiral of the Camp Wipitaka Canoe Fleet. So he’s trying to seem present and involved and like he’s still here, guys. Hey, it’s him. It’s that guy. Yeah, it’s him. He’s just as spicy as a cornflake, that one. Let me tell you. Woo, that’s a spicy cornflake. No idea what’s happening here. He’s got his hot take. And he’s wrong, actually, in a couple of things. When he’s saying that, well, this is local law enforcement. Do you realize how many… And I was looking for a couple of things on this. There are a lot of these in terms of law enforcement in Washington, D.C. specifically. There are a lot of things that are actually federalized. And that’s one thing apparently that Poop Booty Juice doesn’t seem to understand. But they had all the talking points that went out talking about the crime being reduced. Kane and I were talking about. and Steve on break, because Steve lives in D.C., the number of crimes that are perpetuated by juveniles. And Steve was even saying that he can tell you… How did you say it, Steve? Sorry, you said, like, I can tell you, like, what street corner and during what time of day to not be at?

SPEAKER 21 : 42:18

Yeah, it’s like, that’s how I keep myself safe. It’s like, I know where the kids will be at what time of the day. You just… You don’t go to DuPont at certain days. You don’t go to certain blocks of Navy Yard at certain times of the night. You just avoid it.

SPEAKER 19 : 42:29

Mmm. Mmm. That’s wild. So, it’s that…

SPEAKER 16 : 42:34

Maybe the cops should know about that.

SPEAKER 19 : 42:36

Yeah, she does. And part of this is the no cash bail. That’s also a big disaster. And that’s contributing to a lot of this. Now you have the military preparing to put National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. to fight local crime and youth violence and all this stuff. And we’re going to get into the application of that here. But you want to hear my business idea? Okay. So Democrats aren’t going to do anything about the crime in that area. I mean, it’s a bunch of kids, right? And they’re like organizing. And it’s a racket. Why not just muscle in there and take it over like Sylvester Stallone going into Tulsa, like Tulsa King. You know what I’m saying? Roll in heavy. Just take it over. Run them kids. And then you got yourself a business enterprise, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, hell, if law and order don’t matter. Look, I follow the law because the law tells me to. Not because I want to necessarily all the time. Right. I choose to be lawful. That’s why I’m a law abiding person. I’m not harmless. I choose to be lawful. But if you take that expectation away in a particular geographical area, I will always look for a way to maximize advantage for me and opportunity for me. I have zero issue with rolling in heavy and just taking some over and running my own business enterprise, Cain. I’m saying this is what we and the listeners can all get in on.

SPEAKER 16 : 43:56

But is it a business enterprise? Yeah, it sure is. Is it what they’re doing?

SPEAKER 19 : 43:59

Hey, if they don’t see anything wrong with it, I don’t either. Look at that. They’re going to want to implement law and order when I’m done.

SPEAKER 16 : 44:08

Is this where two wrongs make a right?

SPEAKER 19 : 44:10

No, no, it’s just, it all doesn’t matter. There’s no assigned values to these concepts. How dare you try to bring some kind of morality into this equation, sir. I apologize. We are only talking about whether or not it’s advantageous to us. That’s it.

SPEAKER 16 : 44:24

I see.

SPEAKER 19 : 44:25

That is the only thing that matters in this kind of world.

SPEAKER 16 : 44:27

I do have a hard time focusing.

SPEAKER 19 : 44:29

See, when Democrats are running stuff and they’re telling you that there’s no moral fabric or basis here. OK, I’ll be your huckleberry. Sure. There’s no moral basis here to any of this. All right. So let’s I can take this over and run this. It’ll be good. I’m not going to say it’ll be like Animal Kingdom, but, you know, we’ll run it. And we’ll make some business, all of us. We’ll have our own little business enterprise. You know, we can each take a section of the pie is what I’m saying. Right. So Steve wants to be able to walk down to DuPont at a certain time that previously he was not able to walk around DuPont at a certain time because of the threat to his person.

SPEAKER 16 : 45:08

So we get a piece of the pie. So we’re selling pies.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:10

Sure, you want to call it that. Is that what we’re doing? Because he knows the people who deal with pies, unless he wants in on this, then he’s cool to walk at whatever the hell time he wants to down at that particular street corner.

SPEAKER 16 : 45:20

Any business idea with pie.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:22

If you want pie, Cain, we’ll throw some pie in there for you.

SPEAKER 16 : 45:24

I’m actually for it.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:26

We’ll throw some pie in. What kind do you want?

SPEAKER 16 : 45:27

Whatever the piece. Whatever the piece you got. You don’t care about the fruit in it? Whatever the piece you got.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:31

You don’t care about no fruit?

SPEAKER 16 : 45:32

I’m not picky.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:33

All right. Well, then there’s no role for booty juice then. So… That’s, you know, I’m just saying, listeners, this sounds like a viable concept for us, and I’m open to entertaining this.

SPEAKER 16 : 45:45

We could be looking for some financial backers on this idea.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:49

Yeah, I don’t mind, you know, in this particular area where Mayor Muriel Bowser seems like a Meyer Brothers character.

SPEAKER 16 : 45:56

Yeah, you got to roll in heavy.

SPEAKER 19 : 45:57

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, I don’t mind like showing up at some of these Democrat stores and being like, hey, would you like to help assist this business endeavor? And in return, we won’t jack up the front of your house. How about that? That sounds like a good deal, Cain. It does. I would take that deal. If I came to my door and was like, hey, would you like to support? Our very honorable business endeavor. And there’s pie.

SPEAKER 16 : 46:28

Yes. Oh, my gosh.

SPEAKER 19 : 46:29

And if not, I’m not saying that your front door may blow up, but it might.

SPEAKER 16 : 46:34

But see, and then that person whose front door that may blow up seems like they could use like insurance of some sort.

SPEAKER 19 : 46:41

Exactly. We can ensure that your front door won’t blow up. Right. Yes, you support our business. I mean, I’m just saying that sounds like a, you know.

SPEAKER 16 : 46:49

I don’t think anybody’s ever thought of this before.

SPEAKER 19 : 46:51

But Dana, that sounds like another type of crime, says Goody Two-Shoes.

SPEAKER 16 : 46:55

It sounds so unique to me.

SPEAKER 19 : 46:57

No, you know, but it’s not in this area because they’ve already said that morality is irrelevant. All right, throw that out the door. Okay. All right, morality, yeah, that’s just more business opportunities for us. That’s all right. So I just want to make sure Democrats really want to do this. Because I’ve got the business plan already drawn up in my head. Man, I got everything set up, ready to rock. I just, you know, do they really want to do this? So they’ve got National Guard they’ll be rolling in. And I mean, it is, that is kind of crazy. You know, and think of it, Kane, you know, we’re going in with a structure to take over this business. That’s kind of already somewhat established. You know, they’ve seen, and these kids, they got all, they already got it figured out. They already know who they’re going to target, what time they’re going to target, what areas to target. Yeah. Yeah, it’s simple enough. I’m just saying. And we got that infrastructure, so we can roll on into that infrastructure, Cain, and take it over, and part of it’s already there built for us.

SPEAKER 16 : 47:56

It’s like turnkey. It’s like buying an already existing franchise.

SPEAKER 19 : 48:00

You know what that is, my friend? That’s what we in the biz call savings. That’s what that is. Makes all the sense in the world, right? Invite me to all your parties.

SPEAKER 16 : 48:13

It’s not Friday today, is it?

SPEAKER 19 : 48:15

No, it’s not Friday. But this is how stupid the news is. This is how dumb it is. So in addition to that, Mayor Bowser. I was looking at some of her audio here. God, Lee. Mayor Bowser. And then you’ve got Andrew. Oh, let me play this Andy McCabe. Andy McCabe. Audio soundbite 10. This one’s a doozy. Check this.

SPEAKER 11 : 48:39

Policing night by night on the streets of DC is a very different thing. And I can tell you that FBI agents are not trained to do that. That is not what they do. Most FBI agents were not police officers before they came into the FBI. Even the most tactically astute, highly trained FBI agents, those who serve on SWAT teams, I know this as a former SWAT team member, They don’t know. They don’t do community policing. They don’t walk beats the way that police officers do every day, day in, day out. And if FBI agents don’t have that skill set, I can tell you for sure National Guard’s people don’t have that.

SPEAKER 19 : 49:17

Why the hell does the National Guard need the skill set of walking around talking to people like a local beat cop? Look. Y’all failed to keep the law and order in D.C. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. A lot of the criminal justice system, and I was mentioning this earlier, is already federalized in D.C. It’s already under federal government’s control. The problem is that they’re just doing a horrific job of it. So y’all messed it up over there. This isn’t about walking the streets and talking to people. That opportunity has passed you by, Mr. Andy McCabe. It already passed you by. So you ran out the goodwill on that. You ran out the time on that one. The issue is that everything from, I mean, the way that I’ve understood it, and there was a couple of pieces that have dove deep into this, looking at even the basic local trial court, D.C. Superior Court. You have to have the Senate confirm the members of that court, which… Technically makes that a federal court. That’s you know, they don’t like and that’s one of the unsexy things that they don’t really want to focus on in the Senate Senate majority leaders. They don’t want to spend all the floor time sitting here going back and forth over local trial courts in D.C. But and then I think out of the and this was a piece. I think this is over at Axios. 13 out of 62 superior court judgeships are actually vacant. So your courts are understaffed by 20 percent. Right. Federal government. They also do the pretrial supervision. They’re also doing a horrible job. This is from Politico. The Congress, which dives into that, the title of this is the ludicrous system that makes it so hard to fight crime in D.C., And a lot of this is because the federal agencies, they’re running it. They do a horrible job of it. Now, this isn’t POTUS’s fault. We’re talking about how they’re saying that there’s no… basis to have a federal response to this well you already have federal response to this none of you people are doing the proper job and following through and keeping streets safe so yes POTUS he does have the right to do this and I think also dealing with some of that is particularly with the These judgeships that are that are vacant. I mean, when you’ve got what you’re under, your courts are understaffed by 20 percent. That’s something that POTUS can definitely put pressure on the Senate to manage. And that’s something I think that’ll probably do. But this I mean, having a curfew, sending in federal law enforcement, especially because they’ve said that this is about a very specific problem. and all elected local officials have just abandoned their posts. What did you think was going to happen? When you’re not doing your job and your citizens that you were elected to represent are drowning in the crime as a direct result of your soft on crime policies. How did you think that this was going to end? You know how the libertarians aren’t even really objecting to this. They can’t. They’re like, well, that’s kind of what happens when locals aren’t the local elected officials don’t do their jobs. Our friends over at All Family Pharmacy. They have everything that… Okay, so you know what I’m actually getting ready to look at? Because I get my emergency kits. I’m going to do this right now. I get my emergency kit. I got two there. And I’ve gotten antibiotics there. And what else have I gotten? All kinds of stuff there. I mean, I don’t… I don’t want to sound like a drug den, but I get a lot of really good essentials at All Family Pharmacy.

SPEAKER 16 : 53:58

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

SPEAKER 19 : 54:04

All right. So first, POTUS is delaying a tariff hike on China for another 60 days. And that’s that’s something that’s what the third time, I guess, that’s been delayed third or fourth time. He signed an executive order delaying a set of tariffs on Chinese goods for at least 90 days, extending that ceasefire in the U.S.-Chinese trade war per White House. via cbs the president’s order is going to keep tariffs at 30 that was set in mid-may both countries have agreed to temporarily back off a set of these tariffs going back and forth that exceeded 100 now the agreement was last set to expire tuesday uh today and without without an extension you would have seen tariffs on Chinese goods like at 80 percent. So they’re going to remain at 80 percent until late or 10 percent. Sorry, until November 10th. And then an additional 20 percent that was imposed earlier this year due to fentanyl. That’s still in place. So technically it’s all still at 30 percent. So they said China is going to maintain a 10 percent tariff on U.S. goods. So those are still those are still there. Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher warned to keep quiet about Trump on the U.S. tour. Oasis is coming to the United States. Anyway, here’s Wonderwall. But they said that… They said, don’t jeopardize your comeback tour. Just don’t. I don’t… Nobody wants to hear a Brit run their mouth off about it either, right? Like, we don’t go over there and knock your daughters out of the hands of the Pakistani grooming gangs in Rotherham, so you don’t come over here and try to tell us our business. You know what I’m saying? Canada gave its citizens the right to die and how doctors are struggling to keep up with demand. I think it’s horrible, but also, oh, I shouldn’t say this out loud. In some instances, it’s like a self-cleaning oven. It is. But this is horrible. They have a euthanasia conference. They’re dealing with, doctors can’t keep up with it. That is just so sad to me. So incredibly sad. We have a lot more, including golf carts versus suburbia. Stick with us. It’s our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service in the country.

Hey, President Trump, it’s time to stand down. It’s time to make another phone call to Greg Abbott, this time instead of calling him and telling him you’re quote-unquote entitled to five congressional seats. It’s time to tell him to stand down. It’s time to recognize that democracy is at risk. It’s time to, dare I say, do the right thing. Actually, see how that feels for you, doing the right thing. If you don’t, California will neutralize anything you do in the state of Texas. California will continue to punch above its weight. We believe in democracy. We believe in the enduring values of our founding fathers. 249 years. We’re not going to sit back. We’re not going to.

SPEAKER 19 : 58:01

Jesus. G-E-E-B-U-S. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Their process for redistricting, though, in California, we’ve talked a little bit about this. It’s not they can’t just Gavin Newsom can’t go, oh, well, we’re going to redistrict. He can’t do that. They have a whole commission that’s set up separate of that that runs all of that. They have to go through this independently elected commission. There are so many I don’t want to say checks and balances, but they have an independent commission that they have to go through that that. runs everything on this. And they determine what’s going to be done, when it’s going to be done, how it’s going to be done. They don’t have the same ability. Texas, the governor can actually call for a special session to deal with redistricting. And California does not have that freedom. And I also don’t think that there are going to be enough Democrats that are gonna go along with it anyway, because it’s like distracting at that point. I mean, how are you going to, in California, which is already gerrymandered, and you have a Democrat supermajority, I mean, what’s the point? That’s just, you know, stupid. There’s no, they think they’re going to try to squeeze out some of those Southern California Long Beach Republicans. That’s not going to happen.

SPEAKER 16 : 59:24

No, it’s not going to happen. Plus, they wouldn’t be able to offset, like he’s talking about, the five seats that were up in play for Texas, because I don’t even know if they have five Republicans.

SPEAKER 19 : 59:35

So in Texas, the governor can call a special election. or sorry, special session for the state legislature to gather, have quorum and deal with redistricting, right? And then through that, they can determine how they want to redo the lines. In California, the independent commission entirely, it’s mandated by their state constitution that the independent commission in California handle all of the redistricting. And so- Any change to that? to allow the governor to even call a special session to address it or the governor to propose, you know, X, Y, Z, you have to have a ballot measure and it’s two thirds of, I mean, you have to have a ballot measure approved by voters. So it’s not the same thing. It’s not remotely the same. And he’s just, all he’s doing here is just saber rattling and trying to make it look like once again, he’s got a take. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. These runaway Texas Democrats, they’re still out there. I mean, a lot of schools are starting. I saw that. Let me pull this up. I saw one lawmaker. So we we asked on a couple. I mean, I really don’t care. I think they’re nothing burger discussions to talk to any of these Democrat officials, honestly. But like James Tallarico, none of them have any interest in coming on and discussing anything. Of course they don’t because they’ve abandoned their voters. I mean, heaven forbid they answer to that. But the school year is starting. They’re going to have to go back to school. I was reading in one paper this morning where some lawmaker was sad because he’s going to be missing his daughter’s first day of school, kindergarten. This is so goofy. Texas Democrats cope with exodus. And apparently one of them is going to be absent when his daughter starts kindergarten this month. I mean, if that’s the choice that you want to make, don’t pretend that you’re doing anything for voters. You’re not because you left your job. You abandoned your post. You didn’t stay and fight it. You abandoned it. You can’t win elections. And so your response to your inability to win elections is to run away. That’s sad. But it does sound like they’re kind of struggling right now. They’re running out. I mean, they’re running out of options because now you’ve got the court decision, the power for the people that pack, which is really using this to fundraise. It’s better or work in his stupid power for the people. Better or work is just a tool. I mean, I don’t mean like he’s, you know, He’s a tool for – however you want to interpret it. He’s a tool for them to use. And they don’t have a lot of cash on hand. Last I saw, they had like $200,000. They don’t really have a heck of a lot of cash on hand. But they are – they can’t fund them. They can’t fundraise for them, et cetera. They had Kristen Welker. J.B. Pritzker was on with MSNBC, and he was struggling. This is audio somebody at 17. He’s struggling financially. to answer because they’re asking him about the hypocrisy of all of this. Listen to this.

SPEAKER 13 : 63:02

Well, look, sticking on your state’s map, every major group that grades the fairness of congressional maps gives your state an F. Common cause, a nonpartisan government watchdog. Even says your map, and I’m going to quote, represents a nearly perfect model for everything that can go wrong with redistricting. And I guess the question is, you talk about preserving democracy. How do you preserve democracy if you’re using the same tactics that you’ve criticized Texas Republicans for?

SPEAKER 09 : 63:31

But as I say, what they’re talking about is a distraction. The reality is that the violation of people’s voting rights is what Texas is attempting to do. That’s what’s wrong with their efforts, right?

SPEAKER 19 : 63:46

So correcting the turfed to the max, wicked wild district lines that Democrats drew prior to and making them a little bit more uniform and allowing them to reflect the increase in population that if you want to talk about disenfranchising voters, refusing to acknowledge that more voters have come to the state of Texas, you have more people voting and refusing to apportion lawmakers so that they’re fairly represented. That is what is disenfranchising voters. Not simple. I mean, holding these screwed up lines and actually, you know, you’re you’re a lot of people are just not going to have representation. That’s that’s not upholding the integrity of the voting process. That’s a stupid answer that Pritzker gave because he didn’t want to talk about how hypocritical it was. to literally use the same tactics and have for forever in illinois that he’s trying to criticize texas republicans for and even then that would only make sense if that’s what texas republicans were doing you go and look at the way the 33rd and 35th districts are drawn in the state of texas and then you tell me that that’s not some of the dumbest stuff you’ve ever seen in your life it looks like a child’s drawing i’m sorry like a really bad child drawer too san antonio and austin be in the same district Let’s think of the 3 to 13 magic. Full magical. And then they run down 35. That’s why it’s called 35th. They run down that highway. So it’s just the stupidest thing ever. If you stay on that highway, you can vote. So we have to stay right there on the highway. But it does feel like they’re kind of cracking. It’s very, very hard for them to keep this going. It gets more and more ludicrous. I don’t know. I mean, the hypocrisy is pretty obvious. Gene Wu, the CCP’s Gene Wu, Oh, my gosh. He goes, we had to leave the state to stop this corruption. That’s what he was saying. We had to leave the state. He goes, we’ll stay as long as it takes. He’s almost seeming like he’s trying to cry. He’s like, it’s not easy. We’re trying to hold on.

SPEAKER 16 : 66:00

So if I’m a constituent of Wu’s… He’s just admitted that he won’t fight corruption. He will run away from corruption.

SPEAKER 19 : 66:10

That is correct, yes.

SPEAKER 16 : 66:12

If that’s what he believes is happening, corruption.

SPEAKER 19 : 66:15

Correct.

SPEAKER 16 : 66:15

And he chose to flee in the face of corruption. Yeah. Okay, just making sure.

SPEAKER 19 : 66:23

He’s like, there’s stress. Then he tries to act like he goes, they’re threatening to use the FBI on this. They’re harassing our families. They’re trying to break into people’s. No one’s breaking into anybody’s house. You absolute CCP psyop. No one’s doing that. It’s corruption when Republicans do it. But when Democrats do it. Oh, my gosh. They’re so noble. You guys are so holy. It’s I don’t know. You have to wait. How do you save democracy by like not having it? That’s a thought. Democrats have been doing this for ages. The first time Republicans, the first time Republicans stand up and go enough and Democrats are losing their minds. We’re doing our best to hold on. They sound so tough. They run such they have such tough arguments and they run their mouths and then they they go and hide out of state. And then they say, we’re trying to hang on. We’re trying so hard. This is just, it’s so goofy. But it does sound like, yeah, it does sound like they’re cracking at this point. Look, this is not something they’re going to be able to hold fast to. Texas voters, even Democrats, get really aggravated at stuff like this. Because there are a lot more things on deck than just the redistricting. I mean, you’ve got property tax relief. There’s a number of things. I mean, I’m most interested in the property tax relief. I know Dan Patrick fetishizes THC, banning everything that has those letters in it. But there’s some really big things that are on deck. Yeah. denying people that relief because you have to look at it like this to Democrats. You know, Democrats don’t support property tax relief. They don’t even they think you shouldn’t even own your property. So they’re denying voters relief. They’re the ones actively working to disenfranchise voters because they’re denying them representation by refusing quorum. And if they didn’t like the outcome of redistricting, then they should have, A, won elections. And then, B, they should have been working in the last 10 years since the previous redistricting map was drawn to change the law. But they didn’t do any of that because the law worked in their favor then when they were the ones who had the sway to be able to control things and determine what the districts look like and control and maintain what they had managed before the law worked in their favor then and then the second it does it suddenly the law is no good the the veracity of the law doesn’t isn’t predicated upon whether or not it’s most advantageous for you or not it doesn’t the veracity of the law is not predicated upon whether it is most advantageous to you or not That is the truth of it. But that’s not how Democrats see it. So everyone else is getting screwed in the meantime. Goodness. The folks who will bring you the program, burn a gun. It’s always good to diversify your weapons array because, you know, you carry different calibers. You carry blades, you carry pistols, you carry all this stuff. So why not have something when you are completely disarmed from basically doing anything due to private property restrictions, municipal and local restrictions? This is where burn a gun comes in. I think it’s a really good remedy. For any kind of for the issue of can your college student who’s not old enough to carry a pistol but still needs to protect themselves, protect themselves. Burn a gun is it’s a pistol, but it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And it’s easy target acquisition, no recoil, legal in all 50 states, requires zero background checks, zero permits, zero fees, zero anything. It can be shipped right to your front door. The SD, which is the pistol, it’s the best selling model. And then the new CL, which is more compact, it’s smaller. than the SD, but you’re not losing on any kind of power with it. You can go and choose your color, the accessories, all kinds of stuff, but it’s a great way to diversify your weapons array and make sure that even when, you know, you’re not able to carry or maybe you’re not old enough to carry it, but you’re like living out of town for college, this is an option you really need to consider.

SPEAKER 16 : 70:58

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

SPEAKER 19 : 71:07

So a Florida fisherman smiled after minutes after a shark attack that left him with a bloody leg. Mmm, what, what restaurant, Cyberg’s, remember that restaurant that had shark chunks in St. Louis? There was a young Florida fisherman who was attacked by an eight-foot bull shark while in the Gulf. The shark bit his knee. He was hauled onto the boat for safety, and he smiled. He said it was, quote, a giant, gnarly flesh wound. That’s hysterical. He’s a little, he’s a young man, but yeah, he’s okay. But yeah, bull sharks, pretty aggressive there. He was discharged from the hospital 24 hours later. I’m sorry. I just am like, you get bit in the leg by a shark and you’re out of the hospital 24 hours. That’s crazy. I mean, I’m not saying that there was like somehow negligence. I just think it’s great that we’re able to assess and treat these things. And then, oh, you got bit by a shark. You’re out the next day.

SPEAKER 16 : 71:56

It’s almost like they have experience with it down there.

SPEAKER 19 : 71:58

Almost. You would think. Right. I mean, it’s you would it surprises you really, you know, that things in the beach with teeth, you know, that they have experience in dealing with those. OK, I got to get into this one because I saw this. A Miami woman slapped a 72 year old in an argument over a chair. at Aventura Mall’s Eataly. Now, this is Eataly. All right, this is the Italian grocery store where we don’t do this stuff at Eataly. We don’t do this at Eataly. You know, this is where you go, and if you don’t want to make your pasta at home, you get your pasta, and you get your sausages, and you get, you know, your salami or your prosciutto, and you get all this, you know, you get all this stuff. You go and you get your… The taste of Eataly. Yeah, you get your moody tomatoes and all your good stuff that you get. You go to Eataly. You don’t slap five people at Eataly. This isn’t a waffle house, ma’am. Okay? It’s not a waffle house. So a Miami woman is facing two charges. These are felony charges, guys. Police said she got into a fight at the mall over a chair. Oh, and it’s a man. She slapped this man so hard she sent him to the hospital. Lila Trinchero, 44, of Coconut Grove, told officers that she sat at a table to eat food and wait for her husband and son. Then she said she said the table was empty. But then a woman approached her and said her family was sitting at that table. And then it was like, OK, well, is the table occupied or not? Trinchero began yelling at the woman as she took chairs from the table. Police said when the woman the woman was taking the chairs, when she took the last chair, Trinchero slapped her across the arm and they begin to struggle over the chair. The 72 year old man who was part of the woman’s party intervened, tried to break up the fight. She slapped him across the face and he said he had pain and dizziness. I’m sorry. I don’t care if you’re 72 years old. If a woman slaps you and you’re you have pain and dizziness. You’re a pansy and you probably need to go to the hospital for a serious case of butthurt, too. If no man is going to be. I’m sorry. I’m not buying that. Actually, I’m not sorry. That’s just ridiculous. Don’t get involved if you don’t want to get hit. So anyway, they arrested her on charges of battery. Can we talk about the woman, though, that started it? I’m not saying that this chick is off the hook. I’m not saying that. But if you’re sitting at a table, table’s occupied. You don’t get to come over and be like, oh, that’s our table. Step off, Brenda. No, it’s not. It’s not your table no more. But you can’t feed into this. People have got to learn how to deal with conflict. And it’s not by struggling over chairs at Eataly and slapping 70-something-year-old dudes across the face, right? Although I still, I cannot believe… He’s got pain and dizziness. I have pain and dizziness after reading this article. What is my relief? Where’s my injunctive relief? Where is it? Good night. You know how I would have handled this? Oh, I didn’t see it being used. It’s my table now. Enjoy your day. And then I wouldn’t respond. And then if they kept aggravating me, I would call the police and I just literally wouldn’t even respond to them. That’s how I would deal.

SPEAKER 16 : 75:08

I just never give an inch on anything.

SPEAKER 19 : 75:11

You deprive them of oxygen when you don’t feed it. This is not the way to handle. People have got to learn how to handle conflict. Everyone goes immediate. It goes from zero to world star like that. Just quit. Let’s see. Oh, my gosh. A Florida dad was arrested for shaking a baby out of the naughty in a UTI. Kill me. Naughty parrot Oasis bar. It was a two-month-old who was treated for shaken baby syndrome after the incident. 24-year-old Florida man arrested. He violently shook his two-month-old outside of a bar.

SPEAKER 1 : 75:46

Why?

SPEAKER 19 : 75:47

He was booked into Charlotte County Jail and was released on bond. And the child’s mother sought medical attention. The baby was throwing up. Of course he had shaken baby syndrome. There were no lasting injuries, thankfully. Hospital confirmed. If he goes into prison, can he get shaken inmate syndrome? Asking for some friends. Stick with us. Third hour on the way.

SPEAKER 02 : 76:07

I think it’s really important to be clear about what is going on here. And a relatively small crime problem is being used for specific authoritarian purposes that we know and understand. So let’s be clear about, DC does have a really, one really big crime problem, which was the January 6th insurrection incited by the current president of the United States. And his first act in coming back was pardoning all the people who tried to overturn constitutional republic order in Washington, D.C. When I go to D.C., I’m not afraid of losing my wallet so much as I’m afraid of losing my vote. I’m not afraid of losing my wallet so much as I’m afraid that my children’s freedom to breathe will be stolen in a world where climate change policy is nonexistent.

SPEAKER 19 : 76:59

Yeah, I’m not worried about climate change carjacking me in D.C. You know, can I just also add to, it is only, it’s only August 12th. So why is MSNBC giving us like Jack Frost? That’s a Christmas character. That’s for Christmas time. We don’t want to see Jack Frost out now. We don’t want to see Jack Frost until like December, Kane, am I right? That’s true. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That was some, I don’t even care who that guy is. He looks like Jack Frost with his hair.

SPEAKER 16 : 77:34

There are some years Texas doesn’t see Jack Frost at all.

SPEAKER 19 : 77:37

Yeah, I know. But no, the issue isn’t climate change or losing your vote. I mean, it actually is crime in the area. And Trump is actually correct on this. That’s the thing. You have local leaders that have absolutely abdicated their responsibility. What other relief can people expect? And by the way, just because you have one specific incident of one specific particular crime that’s down does not mean universally that all crime is down. And a lot of people have been asking about the accuracy of the crime reporting process. There have been a lot of questions about that. There have been people who have been fired as a result of that. A D.C. police commander was under investigation because he downgraded crime stats in his district. The guy was placed on paid leave in mid-May. And this happened after he filed an equal employment opportunity complaint. And he accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data. So you have multiple people downplaying and underreporting actual criminal data. And then they turn around and say, well, look, it’s lowered in this. It’s a crime is lowered. We lowered crime because there’s less of it. It’s amazing, Cain, how that happens, right? Amazing. So this is the former commander of the third district. They patrol Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights. He was placed on leave with pay, told he was under investigation for questionable changes to crime data. And that’s a handful of law enforcement sources that are still active within the department that told this to the local news channel in D.C., Channel 4. Now, all of this came to light. A week after that same guy filed a complaint against the executive assistant chief of police for because the executive assistant chief of police is accused of absolutely purposefully deliberately falsifying crime data. So you can’t even trust these stats that they’re using. You can’t even trust it. That’s a major problem. A major problem. The city had 274 murders in 23, 187 murders in 24. Now they’re going to about maybe 100. Well, it’s still short. It may be under 187, barely. But beyond homicide, just because homicide has decreased does not mean assault, robbery, carjackings have not increased, which they have. But that’s what they’re trying to conflate this and saying that, well, homicide might be down and homicides down. And so that means all crimes down because this this one stat is down. All crimes down. Well, that’s not true. I mean, you have. Well, we talked about big balls. That’s what finally got the attention of POTUS, who is so badly beaten. They try to kill him in a car after he thwarted a carjacking. I mean, that, you know. And then they had another, apparently hours after, according to Waupo, hours after he was beaten in the street, and this is Washington Post piece, they had an issue in that exact same block or one block away. Neighbors were awoken again. After a courtesan was beaten in the street, neighbors were awoken again. This is from WAPO because a rowdy crowd of juveniles, some in masks, were beating a man and he was all bloodied. This was the same night that courtesan was beaten. One block away, a gang of juveniles did the exact same thing. One, approximately one block away. Because they were woken up twice. And it was like within the span of like a couple of hours. D.C. police have made 900 juvenile arrests this year. And 200 were for violent crimes. Gosh, over four dozen were for carjacking. And they’re trying to argue that, well, look, homicides are down, guys. Killings are down. This is all good. But what they’re not telling you is that all this other stuff is actually increased. This is a real problem with this demographic, this age group. Why are all of these juveniles running around? The WaPo story actually noted that the residents, and they talked to numerous people, they said that they all saw what they variously described as a rowdy crowd of teens running around in the streets. That’s not safe. Police couldn’t find any suspects. That’s going to be another thing that goes into the books. They’re going to have this crime, but they’re not really going to have anything else with it to support it. And how do you deal with it? Because by the time police show up, they scatter like roaches in the night. They had a 27-year-old man who was fatally shot blocks away from the Capitol. Oh, but wait, I thought killings were going down. And then you had a 38-year-old killed in gunfire in Columbia Heights. None of those crimes made headlines, though. But the killings are supposed to be down. I mean, they are out of control. It’s out of control. And for all the talk about opposition to federalizing the police, well, your judicial system is already federalized. We talked about that last hour. But The issue that has to be solved and remedied is if local officials are not doing their jobs, then you are inviting the federal government to go in and do it. Juvenile arrests are down in D.C. this year, but that trend isn’t applicable across the United States and Baltimore. So compare it with Baltimore in twenty twenty four. I think it was four hundred thirty nine juvenile arrests per one hundred thousand juveniles. Baltimore, it was almost fourteen hundred. That is in 2024 alone. That’s a 47% increase from the year prior via the FBI uniform crime reports. New York City juvenile arrests are up 11% and they’re rising still. Chicago has seen a super sharp rise. And you should not have, if you’re committing violent crimes, AIDS should not shield you from consequence. And yet that’s how this is. That’s how this judicial system is treating these cases. And that’s why I’m saying you and remember, you have about a 20 percent reduction in these judgeships because they’re not getting the Senate’s not focusing on filling these vacancies. And so already they didn’t want to deal with it. Now there’s even a more incentive to not deal with it because they’re understaffed in terms of judges. So, yeah, there’s a real mess here. And so some argue the solution shouldn’t be charging them as adults. Here’s my question. If you have a teenager that gets a hold of a firearm, steals a firearm out of their home from their parents and goes and does crime, everyone talks about the parent. You know, they talk about the teen and everybody else is responsible, really, except for the parents. Although negligence laws suggest otherwise negligence laws. If if a teen steals a firearm from a home, you can a very aggressive prosecutor will invoke negligence laws. And we’ve already seen one killer whose parents were charged under that type of legal construct. And I bring that up as an example. Because I want to know why the same is not being applied to parents in these situations like this in D.C. or elsewhere, where you have violent crimes increasing, driven by these teenagers. Well, at some point, there has to be a serious enough penalty to force societal change, especially when local officials are abdicating their duty. So why doesn’t that kind of construct come into play in these cases? I’ve been asking this for years. Now, you have parents who have kids running around gangbanging out in the street. Where are the consequences for those parents then if that’s the case? Because parents, I mean, you guys know where your kids are. You know what they’re doing. It is wild to me that in this day and age, a parent would not know what their kid is doing. I mean, if I was talking to a group of parents and was like, I don’t know where my kid is and it’s 11 o’clock, I’d be like, the hell’s wrong with you? Go home and be a mom. What are you out here doing? You don’t know where your kid is? I don’t know. There has to be some kind of solution. They say, well, charging kids as adults, that can’t be a solution. Why not? I’m going to tell you, some of these crimes are pretty brutal. And they say, well, it’s not homicide, but if you’re beating someone near to death, yeah, that could be attempted homicide. I think absolutely that should be on the table to charge some of them, according to the severity of their crime as adults. They have these signs going up. Kids need care, not curfew. Well, the people who are supposed to be providing their care are not. Stop coddling criminals. They thrive off the indulgence of this virtue signal that you call understanding. It’s insane. I wanted to play this. We’re going to play this at the bottom of the hour. I don’t watch. Who is this? Is this the Real Housewives stuff? Let me pull this up. Some broad. I don’t know. Here’s a phrase. Former Bravo star. Really? Yeah, I guess so. I don’t know. Some broad was saying that Trump voters should be barred from going to minority-owned restaurants because I guess she hates minority business owners.

SPEAKER 16 : 87:55

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

SPEAKER 19 : 88:01

Oh, surprise, surprise. Ashley Biden has filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years. She posted, I mean, she’s my age. I don’t know what a grown woman is doing, posting an image of herself, walking through a park to a Beyonce song about freedom. New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. I mean, get your life together. Oh, my gosh.

SPEAKER 16 : 88:23

I think he just read her diary. I think that’s where the problem is.

SPEAKER 19 : 88:26

I mean, like, you showered with your dad? You’re so gross. Ew. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, no one’s surprised at that headline. Also, this… Goodness, wait, we’re all, what happened here? This is all crazy. So somehow that, let’s go up here. Bottling up stress apparently can fuel cognitive decline. Duh. I actually am not surprised with this. This is a new study that was done. And they said that if you’re, you know, if you don’t vent, you don’t have any kind of release effect. They said that it actually could damage all kinds of stuff, memory scores, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, yeah, it’s very detrimental. It’s very dangerous to do so. Gen Z have ditched hookup culture. Thank heavens, because it’s nasty. yeah hookup culture they said no thank you they’re they’re rejecting that and i think that that’s a good for them good good good on them uh also let’s see here caffeinated coffees are mostly free of toxins with a few exceptions i don’t care about this at all i don’t care if it has an alien plague in it what

SPEAKER 16 : 89:43

Wait, just because it has caffeine, that’s all you care about?

SPEAKER 19 : 89:45

All I care about. I am a very simple person, Cain. It’s all about the transaction with me.

SPEAKER 16 : 89:51

That’s why I read the ingredients list. I want to know if there’s toxins or something in it.

SPEAKER 19 : 89:55

You can pretty much determine that by the package, I think, and what you’re going for.

SPEAKER 16 : 90:01

If you do buy, by the way, pre-ground coffee.

SPEAKER 19 : 90:03

That’s nasty.

SPEAKER 16 : 90:05

You have about 10% of that is just cockroach pieces.

SPEAKER 19 : 90:09

I don’t doubt it. I know. We do our own beans, man. I don’t be buying no ground coffee. Sidebar, I was traveling over the weekend for work, and I had my first Starbucks because there was no other coffee available. I couldn’t finish it, and I was already sick. Three sips, and I was like, so gross. All right. Also, Texas floods are washing away debris and dirt, and they also uncovered 100-million-year-old dinosaur tracks. So, that’s actually pretty amazing. It was 15 large, Three clawed dinosaur footprints scattered in a crisscross pattern along the Sandy Creek area. Like what area does not have a Sandy Creek, by the way? There’s like two areas in Missouri that have Sandy Creek and I swam at both of them. So I’m like, everybody’s got a Sandy Creek. That’s not helpful. Like, you know, but they had a bunch of paleontologists out there. They’re similar. They’re unambiguously dinosaurs and they’re very similar to the… Here we go. Acrocanthosaurus.

SPEAKER 14 : 91:16

That sounds right.

SPEAKER 19 : 91:17

That actually sounds correct. That sounds correct. Yes. They think that there are lots of millions of years old and each footprint is about 18 to 20 inches long. They look almost fake. I mean, I know they’re not, but they almost look like they could be fake. We have more on the way. So coming up. So apparently one cable news guest thinks Trumpers should only stay at Cracker Barrel. We’ll talk about that coming up.

SPEAKER 01 : 91:57

During the discussion, residents did not hold back, voicing their frustrations.

SPEAKER 23 : 92:02

Am I playing the system?

SPEAKER 01 : 92:03

Many questioning why kids aren’t being held accountable.

SPEAKER 23 : 92:07

We as a city and a community need to be much more focused on prevention and surrounding young people and their families with resources if we want to be safer in the long run. We cannot prosecute and arrest our way out of it.

SPEAKER 19 : 92:21

Yeah, you can prosecute and arrest your way out of it. What else are you going to do? That is, who was that? I had that highlighted here. Oh, the D.C. Attorney General, D.C.A.G., Brian Schwalb. We can’t arrest our way out of crime. We’ve got to hug it out, guys. We’ve got to hug it out. You know, a good side hook. It’s what that is. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. D.C. Police Union Chair Greg Pemberton agrees with POTUS, though. Audio sound by 31. This is what he had to say. Listen.

SPEAKER 22 : 92:55

Well, look, we completely agree with the president that crime in the District of Columbia is out of control and something needs to be done with it. We have to go back to how we got here, though. In 2020, the D.C. City Council passed an enormous amount of legislation that handcuffed police officers, exposes them to administrative, civil and even criminal liability, even when they do their jobs properly. And now five years later, our authorized sworn strength is 4,000 sworn police officers. We currently have 3,180. So we have more than 800 vacancies for the position of police officer. And the way the department makes up for that gap is through 2 million hours of mandatory overtime every year. So the fact that we need help from federal law enforcement and maybe even the National Guard, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. And we agree with that.

SPEAKER 19 : 93:40

Yeah, it’s… It’s interesting. They already have stats out of the first night of arrests from the guard protecting D.C. And they have a huge… So the list that they gave… I will have to say, I don’t think that they’re picking and choosing what laws to prosecute. I think they’re just going after whatever laws. They had 23 arrests last night, homicide, different firearms offenses, possession of narcotics with intent to distribute, evasion, lewd acts, stalking, fleeing, operating a vehicle without a permit, DUI. And then they have a quote, possession of a high capacity vehicle. magazine i do think it’s a little ironic to promote that as one of the things for which someone has been arrested but i don’t think that they’re picking and choosing what laws they’re prosecuting but i still think it’s a little ironic so uh which because that should not be illegal by the way so anyway that’s um I don’t think that the White House needs to celebrate the arrest of someone that has a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds. So anyway, we’ll see. But the rest, they got all this other stuff. And yeah, you probably can, I think, Cain. Here’s the problem with the statement that that guy said. You can’t arrest your way out of crime. Well, you actually can. But you got to follow it up. First off, you have to follow it up with application of penalty upon conviction. there has to be a deterrent. The problem is everybody pleads down. You have no cash bail. Everybody pleads down. I mean, what’s the point of even having a law if you’re not going to enforce it? I mean, it is lawlessness because you can claim that you have the law in existence, but if you’re not enforcing it and if you’re not prosecuting and you’re allowing everyone to plead down to nothing, then there is no deterrent there. If you cannot appeal to someone’s good sense. Please don’t commit a crime. It’s bad if you do. You’re a bad person if you commit a crime. If you can’t appeal to that, then maybe you can appeal to, oh my gosh, you’re going to spend 25 years in jail and have a six figure fine. And if that’s what keeps them on the straight and narrow, I’ll take that. Goodness, because you can’t defend yourself otherwise there. But yeah, you can you can actually arrest your way out of crime. That’s that’s absolutely true. I wanted to touch on this because I thought this was so bigoted and stupid. This is gosh, I don’t even know who any of these people are. I had to go look it up. This is audio sound by 22. So this broad’s name. Who is she? She’s like some chick who is on Bravo radio. They’re like, oh, she’s a former Bravo star. And I’m like, who even are you? You know who this chick is? She was on, I guess, Bravo. And then she does an interior decorating business. I don’t know. She’s in her 50s. She’s… A 50-year-old interior decorator, I don’t even know, or interior designer or something. She was on a show from Bravo. And for some reason, she was on Fox. And, well, she went on this expletive-filled rant. Listen.

SPEAKER 03 : 97:07

I’ve had it with white people that triple trumped, that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don’t think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel.

SPEAKER 19 : 97:33

Because either crackers, cracker barrel. So she believes that everybody who supported Trump, probably including the Hispanics and Indian voters and all of these subgroups that voted Republican overwhelmingly in the last election, that they shouldn’t be able to either because she’s making no distinction here. And this is why it’s dangerous for people who think they’re smart to. actually leverage that and go on cable news and say this kind of stuff. That’s really bad. What did she say? Triple Trump? I don’t even know what that means. Okay. Walk into a Mexican restaurant. You know, there are Chinese Americans that have voted for Trump. There are Mexican Americans that voted for Trump. There are Indian Americans that voted for Trump. She’s just like one of these old white progressive racists who think that there are no minorities that vote Republican. I mean, that’s what she’s saying here. She buys into all of that. She doesn’t think that there are minorities that vote Republican, that all the people who vote Republican are white, I guess, and that they should be banned because of her ignorant bias. That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. No wonder she’s a former Bravo star. Imagine that being the line you lead with. What are you? Oh, a former Bravo star. I can be meaner, but I’m really trying to be a nice person because it’s my Monday, your Tuesday. Trying to be really nice, but can’t I have more to say?

SPEAKER 16 : 99:04

Does she consider herself a has-been or never was?

SPEAKER 19 : 99:08

That’s a great question. I don’t know.

SPEAKER 16 : 99:10

I’ve never heard of her until like today.

SPEAKER 19 : 99:11

Somebody should ask her that. And by the way, if I had to go to, I mean, why are you hating on Cracker Barrel? Cracker Barrel is a good restaurant.

SPEAKER 16 : 99:19

I make that choice often.

SPEAKER 19 : 99:21

Is that supposed to be like a flex? You think that’s an insult? They should only be able to go to this great restaurant. Really? Okay. She just thinks that she’s so worldly, apparently, that if you want to trample Trump, she goes, if you want to browbeat DEI, who’s browbeating gay people? You know, there are gay people that voted for Trump, that voted Republican. And she goes, and if you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come here and open up businesses, I guess she’s never met anybody in the KURVR affiliate area in McAllen or in El Paso or in parts of Southern California where you have predominantly Hispanic areas that are also predominantly conservative. I guess she’s never met any of those people. I just feel like… And I can’t even say she goes, no one wants to see your teeny weeny, big gut, pink arm, big gut around. Well, no one wants to see a 52 year old woman with an inability to move the top half of her face because her injector puts too much Botox in it either. But here we are. If you want to be mean, we can be mean. You just say the word. So I don’t threaten us with a good time. Right, King? Cracker Barrel is a great place. Yeah. Cracker Barrel is a really good restaurant. And I just, I don’t know where this, like where these people get this idea. It’s always these people who you can tell probably have never even left the country. These old white progressives that think that all the people who vote Republican and people who want lower taxes are all white. And they still believe that they are entitled. They have this entitled view of, Of how minorities should vote. They are completely clueless. Like, for instance, Hispanics, Hispanic Americans, one of the and it is insane, fastest growing Republican groups. It’s a natural alliance, by the way, because Hispanics are very conservative. Hispanic Americans don’t want any of this nonsense that they see the left doing. But the left thinks they’re stupid. The left thinks anyone who isn’t white and blonde like them are stupid. If you want to talk about the real racist, that’s who they are. Racist old white Democrats think that anybody who is an old blonde and white like they are that, you know, well, then they’re, you know, that’s that’s the view that they have. So they have they’re clueless about this. Hispanic Americans have been voting at such a pace, not just last election to this trend. Actually, I will say the trend began even predating Trump in 2016. There were some it wasn’t enough for everyone to say that there was a pattern. But in the midterms leading into 2016, there were some things that were very evident. And people were wondering, wow, what? And I think some people thought it was an anomaly. It wasn’t anything anyone even deep dived on. But later on, like real clear politics and elsewhere, people started pinpointing the start of this. And it doubled in 2016 with Trump because a lot of people liked his messaging and they liked what his policies, economic immigration, et cetera. This last election, particularly, I mean, they just like doubled upon all of the gains that they had in voting with that demographic in this last election. I mean, I go through all the primaries and caucuses and all the I see all the data. especially when I’m up in like New York or Atlanta or whatever for networks, you see the, the, they, you get the sweeps as they come in and it is, it is amazing. It is the, it’s not as, you know, Hispanic Americans, number one, black Americans, and then more and more women, Hispanic Americans and black Americans are beating women in terms of people voting for Republicans over Democrats, but that’s changing too. The youth also is changing. And I think as you see, Gen Z get older, you’re going to see more Gen Zers because they seem to be more traditionally socially conservative and fiscally conservative. They’re going to be more and more leaning, I think, towards the GOP. At least that’s what early indications are. So when I hear someone like whoever this like Bravo, whatever person is talk about this kind of stuff, she sounds ignorant and it’s kind of embarrassing. And if she was a little less self-worship and a little more aware of the outside world, I think that she would probably be pretty humbled by how she came off because she sounds stupid. That just sounds ignorant and racist and old. It just sounds like, ugh. you know, like, so I, you know, I don’t even know what that accomplishes for their side. I don’t even know what that accomplishes. Like you’re smearing cracker barrel and you’re commenting on other people’s appearances and making fun of how you think other people look without any self-awareness of how you look on camera. I can move my eyebrows. Can you? All right. I told you don’t get mean with me, especially if you’re going to have somebody go after someone’s appearance like that. I just, jeez. What is up with this white progressive woman savior mentality? What is up with that? All of these older white women on the left have this savior mentality. We’re going to come and save all the brown people. That’s what they sound like. without any awareness of how horrible they come off. I, I’m kind of done with this stuff. So in cheerleading and college cheerleading, you can have dudes who are college cheerleaders, but they’re the ones who like, they’re the builders. They’re the bases. They catch the chicks. They throw the chicks. They, you know, and I’ve known a couple and they were not gay, like extremely not gay. To the point where we were like, you’re going to dive in STD. I’m just saying. But in NFL, they can’t throw them up in the air and all that stuff. They can’t throw cheerleaders. So it’s more like a palm squad, right? It’s like cheerleaders, but that’s more like a dance squad. Anyway, I had some friends that were talking about the someone sent me this link where it’s like, oh, this is the Minnesota Vikings. They have a male as their lead cheerleader for football season. Not just a cheerleader, lead cheerleader. And I had someone say, oh, well, you know, he’s fine. He’s not dressed up like a woman. He’s a good dancer. I actually don’t think he’s a good dancer. He’s not built like a woman. And those moves that they do are designed to emphasize the curves of a woman. And if you knew anything about dance, you would know that and shut up. But I digress. I don’t want to see a male on the football field of an NFL game unless he’s running camera, ref in the game, or he’s got a helmet on. That’s it. I don’t want to see no little dude out there throwing himself around, shaking what he does not have on the field. That’s for ladies. I am really old school about this. I don’t want to see it, right? I don’t want to see it. I just don’t like it. I don’t like it because it looks like a mockery of the females. And I have female friends who actually work with NFL cheerleading. And I’m just… I don’t know. I just I’m not into men. This is a man thing. Women love football. But come on. More men love football than women do. Men don’t want to see that out there.

SPEAKER 17 : 106:50

Why are you gay?

SPEAKER 19 : 106:54

I mean, what do you say to the people who are like, well, just, you know, give it, you know, pick your battles. At least he’s not dressed up like a woman. Oh, that’s the new standard. We got a lower to that standard? I don’t think so. I just think, my personal opinion, I don’t want to see no man on that green on the field at an NFL game unless he is a ref, he’s running camera, or he’s got a helmet on. That’s it.

SPEAKER 16 : 107:16

Amen to that.

SPEAKER 19 : 107:17

I don’t want to see it.

SPEAKER 16 : 107:18

And why would they put him as the lead cheerleader?

SPEAKER 19 : 107:20

That’s the insult. He doesn’t move any better than the other, than the chick to his left, well, audience left, his right.

SPEAKER 16 : 107:28

The lead is supposed to set the tone for the entire group. There’s no tone he was setting.

SPEAKER 19 : 107:33

No, he… I mean, he… I did 18 years of classical ballet. Want me to break it down? He has no turnout in his hips. His toes are pointed inward still. He is not as graceful. His moves are jerky and choppy. He’s just not as good as the other women. And I think the only… He’s a DEI hire. The only reason that he’s lead cheerleader is because he’s a twinkie-looking dude. That’s it. But he does not move as well as those women do. And those are hashtag facts. Today… Yeah. Today, stupidity came.

SPEAKER 16 : 107:58

All right, Juan, this is cut 30. So the D.C. police chief… Her name is Pamela Smith. She was asked about the chain of command as it relates now that Trump has said he’s taken over law enforcement in D.C. So she was properly by the media asked the question, what’s the chain of command now? This was her response to that.

SPEAKER 11 : 108:18

That’s what the chain of command is now. What does that mean? So what does that mean? That’s the chief of police.

SPEAKER 19 : 108:30

What do you mean? The chain of command?

SPEAKER 16 : 108:31

The chief of police.

SPEAKER 19 : 108:33

I don’t understand. The chain of command?

SPEAKER 16 : 108:34

Is unfamiliar with the phrase chain of command.

SPEAKER 19 : 108:37

Or were they asking her, like, are you aware? What’s the chain of command if the feds come in? It could have been that. But you would still know what chain of command is. But still, she should understand. I mean, if you’re going to hold a press conference, you should have been briefed about that. And you should know how to answer that. Regardless of how it was interpreted or it was asked, they should have already been briefed to handle both.

SPEAKER 16 : 109:00

Democrat-run cities. That’s insane. There you go.

SPEAKER 19 : 109:02

That does it for us tonight. I’ll be on Fox Business later. I think it’s evening edit. Make sure to find us over at Substack, Chapter & Verse, Facebook, YouTube. Like and subscribe. Have a great night.
