SPEAKER 23 :
I’m wondering if you think if Charlie Kirk’s assassin worked alone or if he worked with
SPEAKER 27 :
I don’t know. I mean, I can tell you he didn’t work alone on the Internet because it seems that he became radicalized on the Internet. That’s just by watching what same things that you’re watching and hearing. It looks like he became radicalized over the Internet. And it seems like his wonderful parents brought in a wonderful neighbor, a smart guy, great boards, great marks, great student. And then something happened to him over a fairly short period of time. It looks like he was radicalized over the Internet and it’s radicalized on the left. He’s a left. I have a lot of problems with the left and they get protected and they shouldn’t be protected. But as you understand, I think very well from the tone of your question. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER 22 :
It’s interesting because it sounds as though when he said they can’t be protected on the left, you know, what I was hearing is that he’s. it kind of almost sounds like he’s gearing up to do what, uh, Pam Bondi had, uh, is being encouraged to do, which is to classify these groups like Antifa as, you know, terror groups to start going after these organizations that take a ton of George Soros money. And it’s true. It’s not, that’s not an exaggeration to say that by the way. And it’s not, um, It’s not inaccurate to say that either, but it sounds as though that’s kind of what they’re gearing up to do, which would be very interesting because this is something that we’ve talked about, goodness, quite a long time. These third party groups, right? And how they have, I mean, for so long, whether it was USAID money, or Soros or Far Left Funding, they have just been awash in cash. So to me, that kind of was kind of showing the cards a little bit there. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour on the program, of course. And you can follow along the radio program. In fact, Substack, Chapter and Verse, my newsletter. If you’re a subscriber, you have the prep. You can also watch us do the radio program over at Channel 347. DirecTV is where we’re at. So you can do all of those things. And in the meantime… You can listen terrestrially all across the country. Also, X, Facebook, etc. I mean, where to start with all this? Because we’ve got a lot of developments here. So we’re going to get we got some domestic stuff to hit. And of course, you know, Congress right now is fighting over the next budget. Right. You know that that’s I know that’s I told you that was going to happen about this time anyway. But just to get into some of this stuff, the. Latest, I mean, where to begin, because now you have people saying that there may have been accomplices. You have I think it was I can’t remember who made this point today. You have three people. Involved in assassinations that are in court. Right now, three people. The Charlie Kirk assassin, the second Trump attempted assassin. And then the health care exact assassin, Luigi Mangione. They’re all in court all on the same day. And of course, this coincides with this story that we first told you about. Goodness. How long ago? A few days ago now. Maybe it was end of last week. The assassination culture. Well, there’s not just one now. There are now two studies. One was Rutgers done showing that you have a significant number of people, leftists particularly, who believe that violence is an acceptable form of either speech, expression or protest. We got a lot of problems here. And outside of the courthouse, I was just watching this video on repeat because the terrorism charges against Mangione were dropped and people were cheering outside. They have these signs in support of him. I don’t have any words, man, for this. And I don’t know other than to say that it’s poisoning by academia and it’s the nonstop relentless messages that we hear from the left about this person’s a Nazi because they disagree with you. This person’s a fascist. This person’s this. This person’s that. Maybe it’s a combination of the two. But these people have such poison in their hearts. I mean, it is. I mean, he had a fan club. He had a fan club. And the media always says, oh, well, it’s both sides. And both says, I only see leftists standing outside the Mangione courtroom. Standing him, cheering for him, encouraging him. These same people are the ones, oh, Charlie Kirk had it coming. Well, you know, he spoke reprehensible things. You don’t even know what he said. Half of the people have been going off of made-up quotes in Washington Post and elsewhere. There’s just no excuse for it. There’s no excuse for it. And remember, and actually a friend of mine over at Red State made the point that the left absolutely, they were trying to drag video games in this, and I will go to the mat. On that issue, it’s the gun control but repurposed for the stupid right. I get vicious on this topic because I play games and I’m completely fine. Stupid argument. It’s the gun control argument. But the media was trying to drag gaming into it. They were trying to because there was a code from Helldivers. the hellfire bomb, right? And they were trying to drag gaming into it because there is this presumption, Republicans have been too stupid to study it, but there’s been this presumption that a lot of people who play games, the majority of them are probably right-leaning or at the very least independent, which in my experience, it’s absolutely true. They’re very independent-minded. And the media, it seemed, was trying to drag them in because of that one code. To me, it just seemed like that guy had barely some experience with games and decided that that was going to look cool to all the people. It seemed like he was trying to impress people in that community for some reason. But people in that community abhor that type of stuff in reality, which is one of the big misunderstandings that people just psychotically encourage for others to think about it. But then the media was like, well, you know, there’s really… We don’t understand what you’re talking about, this bloodlust. We don’t see… How do you not see it? How did you not see it with BLM? These are the same people who told you that they were mostly peaceful protests that are telling you now that there’s nothing to see in terms of bloodlust on the left. We’re watching it live on television outside of the courtroom for Mangione. We’ve been watching it when people try to deface the tributes, et cetera, to Kirk in different parts of the country. Now, speaking of this, this is… Really wild. Some of the stuff that I’ve seen. So FBI is investigating social media accounts that seemed to suggest there was some kind of foreknowledge. And this is, again, from the Free Beacon. They said that there was one with which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination on September 10th, a month before it took place. They were all deleted in the days following the murder. A lot of the accounts are transgender individuals, people who are transgender. And they said at least one of them followed the killer’s twink roommate, his twink boyfriend. The FBI has received archived copies of the posts because people there saw them and flagged them. And a lot of these are screenshots that have already been circulated online that people were wondering whether or not they were authenticated. And it said, like, for instance, it’d be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th, LMAO. That was on September 3rd posted. There was another one on August 6th, the month before. September 10th will be a very interesting day. And then after the assassination, the account posted, quote, I plead the 5th. the one who followed the boyfriend, the trans twink boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok, it was, they reposted it. They reposted it. I’m just saying Occam’s razor here. And then one of the other accounts, minutes after Kirk, they announced his death, said, quote, we blanking did it. So now they’re under investigation because they’re all in trans, the trans subculture. And To me, it just seems pretty obvious. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. And there’s more than that. Data Republican did this deep dive on this group that’s apparently now they’re under investigation for knowledge of the assassination. They’re called Armed Queers Salt Lake City. I don’t know why they say queers because it’s all trannies. The L and the G’s and the B’s get really mad about the T’s. And those letters, letters from what I’ve seen, they don’t want the T in a part of it. But the T gloms onto the rest of it because they want protections. You know what it is? I mean, I watched also I just want to throw this together. I watched a video of a woman. This was in Britain who was protesting. I think it was in Britain. She was protesting. There was a bunch of cyclists. So I don’t know. And. She was protesting about the trans stuff because there was a male that was on this team and she was just simply protesting, holding her sign. And this guy like attacked this lady, took her sign. She was shaking and he was making fun of her, etc. I mean, honestly, what it seems like to me is a bunch of abusive men who are trying to give themselves an out for wanting to beat up and target women, honestly, and just be violent. And they want to give themselves an out by, you know, claiming trans. Honestly, that’s what it seems like. because it probably is. Don’t ask me to be courteous about this, because this is why we’re in this position. We’ve entered the table-flipping phase of reactions. So this group is under investigation for potential knowledge of this assassination. Their leader is apparently… Well, they’ve been scrubbing the Utah Global Diplomacy. Apparently, their leader was affiliated with it, and they’ve been purging the association. It’s very interesting. Also, they’re like big gun control people, too, which is weird because one of them was a part of the Everytown gun control group. Oh, no, they founded the Utah chapter of March for Our Lives. Interesting. No? Very interesting. So there’s a few things that are popping up, including some explanations from some of the people that were there. Like apparently one of the old men that was there was saying that what he wanted to create a distraction so the real killer could get free. Yes, we do have an assassination culture in this country. It is. I mean, not predominantly. It is singularly on the left. It’s not. Or hyper, you know, republicanism to acknowledge this simple truth. We’re going to talk more about this. Also, you remember the I think we played the audio for you, the chick who was, I don’t know, some broad who won an Emmy. And then she got up there and said, free Palestine. Well, she was in a shoulderless dress, meaning it was a dress that it mean it didn’t have it didn’t have straps atop. Her shoulders were bare. Well, anyway, it’s funny because she’s not being used in propaganda, but they’re censoring the fact that. The terrorists are using her video as propaganda now, of course, because she aids terrorists. And they are censoring her bare shoulders. You know, you infidel whore. They’ll use her remarks, but you infidel whore, we’re going to censor your shoulders. It’s really what it is. We’ve got a lot more on the way. We’ve got headlines coming up in all of the latest with the assassination as we move. The folks who help bring you the program and do a very good job at supporting the show.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 22 :
Gosh, this one just is gutting. And yeah, it fulfills. Well, Robert Redford also fulfills the law three for my grandmother. Ricky Hatton has passed away. Ricky Hatton is absolutely one of my favorite boxers. I watched him, gosh, go up against Mayweather. I mean, for a long time. And I love the songs that his fans have. 46 years old on Sunday, he was found deceased in his home. and they said that it was like 6.45 in the morning in Manchester, and they said it didn’t seem suspicious. It looks like he had a health issue, but they said that they’re mourning him, obviously, or prayers with his family. He was a fun boxer. He was a little powerhouse. And then in addition to the great Ricky Hatton, also apparently Robert Redford has passed away as well. And he’s been in a million different movies. The New York Times announced it today. Age 89 has passed away. And that’s goodness. So this has been all of a sudden this is, you know, the Hatton thing was, you know, because I followed his career for quite a while. Two arrested after an incendiary device was found under a news media vehicle in Utah. This was interesting. Authorities say two men were arrested yesterday on suspicion of placing this incendiary device. It was under a CBS affiliate. KU TV. And they said that and I hate autoplay videos from these websites. I feel like your website should be just Yeah, you know, well, still they autoplay and I’m like, I want to bomb your website. But they had speaking of bombs, they’ve put this device under this news media vehicle and they did arrest these two individuals. California lawmakers are passed they passed a bill that would ban masks for ICE agents. You know, the ICE agents that cartels have put hits out on? You know, the ICE agents that people are doxing and encouraging people to go and harass their families? It’s heading to Newsom. He’s not said whether or not he would veto it or sign it. He hasn’t said it, but their legislature is the first state in the union, that’s it, to passed this proposal. It’s been introduced in other states. There’s even a bill similar to this in committee in Congress. But so far, Newsom, they don’t know what his support is, but it’s going to his desk. He’s going to sign it. How is he not going to sign? Of course, he’s going to sign it. Apparently, if you have great calves, you have a healthy brain. So I have amazing calves. So my brain is super healthy. This is according to a new study that came out. It’s reported by The Telegraph. Stay with us. We got a lot more on the way. I have zero issue with carrying. I have zero issue with throwing lead if someone’s going to be a threat and hurt me or my loved ones. I also understand that there are restrictions in some of the places where we go. And we’ve got college kids that live alone or they live with roommates and they’re not old enough to carry themselves, but they’re old enough to be targets. They’re old enough to go fight for the country, but they’re not old enough to carry themselves. But they are old enough to be targets. So what do they do? I think it’s always important to have diversity of weaponry. And this is where Burna gun comes in. B-Y-R-N-A. Burna shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats up to 50 feet away. And they have two different pistols that I would suggest. One is the SD. That’s larger. I think it’s a little easier if you’re slimmer or you are a lady if you’re going to conceal a CL. That’s the newest one that they have. That’s the compact launcher. It’s about literally the size of a phone. You don’t have to worry about recoil. It’s not difficult to acquire target. And there’s no background checks. It doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. It doesn’t care about gun-free zones. There’s no background check. There’s no fee. There’s no waiting period. There’s no license. You can buy it online and have it sent right to your door so you can protect yourself when it counts. It’s Burna.com slash Dana. B-Y-R-N-A, the S-D or the C-L.

There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society.
SPEAKER 02 :
Do you see more law enforcement going after these groups who are using hate speech and putting cuffs on people so we show them that some action is better than no action?
SPEAKER 29 :
We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything.
SPEAKER 22 :
And that’s across the aisle. I don’t like the term hate speech, though. I hate the term hate speech. Can we not do this? Because there’s speech that’s that is protected and then there’s speech that isn’t protected. I don’t believe in made up terms called hate speech. just like I don’t believe in made-up terms like assault weapons, or believe that quote-unquote gun control works, or think that a dude can tuck his schlong and be a woman. I don’t believe in made-up stuff. There’s speech that’s protected and speech that is not protected. Things like defamation and libel and slander and fighting words, which, by the way, there is a litmus test for that, for it to even be actionable, right? So let’s just not say generally hate speech. Let’s talk about let’s use our words here and let’s talk about going and saying that you’re going to kill someone. Clearly, and especially if they have the motive, that is not protected speech. It’s not supported by any amount of American jurisprudence as being protected speech. And no Western nation is something like that, where someone is saying they’re going to go and kill someone. That is not protected. That’s not protected speech. The difference here, because if we’re getting into the discussion of what is or isn’t, let’s just say a cancel culture. Guys, I want to be really real with you. I put this post out on Substack yesterday for those of you who are subscribers, and I gave you links to some of this stuff. I didn’t want to inundate you with anything. with all of it, because there’s so much that’s, there’s a lot of nastiness out. There’s a lot of nastiness out there. So I didn’t, I didn’t want to overload you with that, but I did want to show you that at least with some of these, it’s pretty serious. There, there have been actual surgeons, actual surgeons, And we talked a little bit about this the other day. Doctors, there were pilots. One of them was an American Airlines pilot who literally said who who it’s one thing if you are talking privately in your home, which you shouldn’t do this stuff anyway. But when you’re using your social media account and you’re identifying your employer. and what you do for employment, and you’re out there with that title associating your job and your employer with celebrating someone’s death, that’s not the same. By the way, I don’t want to fly on a damn plane with a suicidal pilot. I don’t want to fly on a plane with a pilot who thinks I should be killed for what I believe. And make no mistake, that’s exactly what these people celebrating this, what they are justifying. A difference in opinion means you could be killed for it. Now you see why it’s so important to not qualify this garbage. There were pilots, a surgeon. Do you trust? There’s a story from Reagan after he was shot. uh at the hilton in dc and when they rushed him to the hospital because you know he was very he was being very valiant and he didn’t want to look like he was really seriously injured and one of his secret service guys literally picked him up and threw him in the car and when he got to the hospital he made a joke saying i hope you’re all republicans and everybody laughed and they laughed because it was absurd that politics would even matter at a moment like that and that was something that they all recognized and that’s what made it funny you could not make that same joke today Because you have people like doctors and surgeons. If you didn’t think that they wouldn’t have animus towards you, I would like to refer you back to COVID. When there were literal hospitals turning people away because they didn’t get the experimental injection. I will refer you to what doctors and surgeons, many of them, were saying during the era of COVID. Even with all of the science, people were so eager to bend the knee to the god of science. I don’t know. It’s not science. The stuff that they were telling everybody to do and it had no impact. But these people would they were even refusing to treat other individuals that needed care or to even consider them for organ transplants. There are millions of these stories. We talked about them through those dark four years. So if you think that they would not hold your politics against you, we saw how they held not getting an experimental vaccine against you. We saw which of your neighbors wanted to report you to the police for not wearing a face mask or for having your parents over for Thanksgiving dinner. So, yes, you can bet your ass that these people do not care whether or not you live and that you are eligible for death simply because of what you believe. So these were surgeons. Doctors, pilots, do you want anyone operating on you that thinks you should die for your political beliefs? Do you want a teacher who celebrates the gruesome execution of a young father and a husband in front of America, in front of his kids, in front of his wife, in front of his parents? Do you think that your children, it’s okay if your children are educated by someone who celebrates that, especially at work, especially in the classroom? It’s a full-throated hell no. This is what I’m talking about. All these people who think it’s fine if you die for believing as you do, and they have the professional capability to make it happen fast. So for all these people bitching about cancel culture, you guys wanted universal background checks? You got it. Oh, oh, you don’t like having your rules used against you? You bought the ticket. Take the ride. We’re not letting you off. So this idea of hate speech, I’m not even doing that. There’s no whataboutism here. I told you guys, you guys remember the story of Carson King? You guys remember him? Carson King was the young man. What was he, like 21 years old? He was pictured at a college game holding a sign up that said, you know, PayPal me or whatever for free. I want it for my beer budget. And it was funny. I read that it was funny. And then he got so much money, he turned around and started using it to like donate literally to hospitals for sick kids. And then Anheuser-Busch got involved in all this stuff. Well, then the Internet milkshake ducked him. You know what milkshake duck is? Everybody remembers milkshake duck? Do I need to? Do I need to? Do I need to go back over what milkshake duck is? Milkshake duck is what this was first created some years ago. And basically it goes like this. The tweet is there’s a there’s a the whole Internet loves milkshake duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes. Five seconds later, we regret to inform you that the duck is racist. That’s milkshake duck. So this guy got milkshake ducked for quoting the show Tosh.0 15 years earlier. Like when he was barely a teenager, right when X was getting started. Tosh.0, hosted by Daniel Tosh, is a seriously politically incorrect show. Like in the vein of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, right? And they lampooned everyone. And it’s just very honest. And he quoted a joke from Tosh.0. It wasn’t even him. But the local media in Iowa and then everyone else picked it up. They attributed the quote to him and tried to ruin his life. Then all of a sudden, Anheuser-Busch didn’t want to help sick kids at hospitals anymore. This is before they bud lighted themselves. They didn’t want to help sick kids at hospitals anymore. They didn’t want to. They dropped support of him and made a big to do about it. All these other people started to do the same thing. It was a digital lynching. A digital lynching. Because someone attributed a joke quote from Tosh.0 to him. And he was all apologetic and everything. But remember, it’s never about reconciliation. It’s about destruction. I wrote a whole book on it. And so they went back and found that this, that is not even remotely comparable to To a surgeon at their desk saying that they were glad that Kirk was killed. It is not even. You have no soul. If you’re a demon, if you think that they’re the same. So I don’t do the hate speech thing. And I also think if you’re stupid enough with all of your professional insignias. To go and because you think you’re untouchable because the media has convinced you that when you’re on the left, you are. That you can go out and you can glorify executions of innocent people like the Nazis did. You want to have a comparison about the Nazis? There’s your comparison to Nazis. They killed people for what they believe. Very similar, is it not? You know what? Think of this, Charlie. There was another Charlie that was also targeted by terrorists some 10 years ago. That was Charlie Hebdo, the magazine, and they killed the French editor of it. When you had terrorists that were so mad… at what people at the magazine named Charlie believed, and they were so mad about the parody and the satire that they went and they shot up an office of magazine editors, satirical magazine. Terrorists. Just like with that Charlie, this Charlie was also killed by terrorists. Trans terrorists. And we have a major problem with the trans community. And if you want to lie about it, there are more trans people out there killing other individuals than not. We’ve had a series of them right now. Other people don’t want to say it. It needs to be said. Now, does that mean that every single trans person is violent? No, but I’m going to be damned if every single gun owner is responsible. For mass casualty incidents perpetuated by prohibited possessors, by God, I will make you play by your rules and I will hold you fast to this too. We’re doing it. Again, you bought the ticket. You’re going to take the ride. We have to have a conversation about this still. Apparently, the twink that the terrorist who executed Charlie Kirk, he was apparently so hateful, his own family didn’t even want anything to do with him. And there’s more. There’s more to it. The first man that was arrested in connection with Kirk’s killing, apparently, according to newly filed documents, he was trying to help the guy escape. George Zinn. This is something else. He was trying to help the guy escape. He said so. I was looking at some of the reports of this. The the first guy. And you remember he was the older man who was saying, arrest me. I did it. I shot him. Now shoot me. That guy. He was. That’s the that’s the one we’re talking about. 71 years old. He was taken into custody. He was later cleared. But then apparently he was saying that, yeah, I when the officer asked him where his gun was, he goes, I’m not going to tell you. He apparently just wanted to distract and tie up resources so the actual killer could get away, according to newly filed documents. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist. But again, sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. Sometimes it is. George Zinn also has a very interesting arrest record, apparently. These are… I can’t believe… I mean, when you think about this, this story, he told an officer that he was glad that he said he had shot Kirk so the real suspect could get away. He also said, and this is from the public reports, that he wanted to be a martyr for the person who was shot. That was according to the probable cause statement. So… It’s either an improvised… A friend of mine said that this was an improvised on-the-fly pro-murder accomplice. Improvised? I don’t know. But regardless, the fact that that’s your first response, that there were people out there in that audience… I’m going to tell you, I’ve already turned down one event that was outside, and I got an invitation to do another outdoor event, and I’m going to turn that down as well. I’m not going to be doing outdoor events. I will not be going anywhere… Obviously, I don’t anyway without packing. And we train a lot. We’re going to train more. Coming up, I want to show you what some of these trans TIFA groups are doing. They are so eager to try to seem murdery and to try to scare people. They put out these flyers. They don’t even practice proper weapons handling. They’ve got their fingers on their triggers. I’ve seen others where other other photos where one of them’s flagging the other one. And they are putting this stuff out like, oh, we’re armed and militant and all this other stuff. Guys, we have a conversation about this. We’re at a we’re having a mental health crisis in this country. And it’s typically really it’s a bunch of leftist dudes who want to pretend that they’re women who want to go out and abuse everybody. Let’s have that conversation. So apparently, we have to stop falling for the whole higher thread counting because it doesn’t necessarily mean better sheets. That’s fake news, apparently. It’s like believing that you use like 10% of your brain. So the secret isn’t thread count, it’s thread quality. And this is where Bull & Branch has won a lot of folks over at yours truly. They use the best organic cotton. End of. I mean, these are sheets that feel incredible, like the moment you take them out of the box. So the first night that you put them on, you can tell right away that they’re softer, they’re cooler, and they have a great weight. It’s like kind of having a five-star hotel room in your own house. And I’ll tell you something else. The sheets get better every time that you’ve washed them. I’ve washed mine countless times and they just keep getting softer. You can’t do that with cheap sheets because they totally fall apart. Bowl and branch, they get more luxurious. So you’ll sleep better and you’re kind of kind of feel like a spoiled brat, but it’s okay. I’m not going to go back to the old sheets. Once you try them, you’re not going to either.

Dedicate this show tonight to Charlie Kirk. Woo! God bless you, Charlie. You can kill a man, but you can’t kill a message. This country is stronger than any man, stronger than any violence. It’s the freest country in the history of the world. And it’s worth fighting for. It’s worth defending with all your heart because we’ve been able to live our lives in the freest country in the history of the world, but what we need to fight for is our children and our grandchildren. And that’s what Charlie was thinking. I’ve never seen anybody get so much more out of life in 31 years. Charlie Kirkland.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s Rob Schneider. He’s a class act. Absolute class act. And so… That’s all really that needs that any of these people, if they’re going to have a hot take, that’s all they need to say is that. The people who talk about the stuff that he said clearly never watched anything that he said. I didn’t realize this. Do you know I never actually heard him cuss? He never actually got mean with people. I totally do. He never got mean with people. You know, different strokes for different folks. He was nice. He just used their ideas and they got mad when they saw, when they followed, when he made them follow their ideas all the way through to their logical conclusion and they didn’t like what they saw.

SPEAKER 22 :
Welcome to the program. Top of the second hour, Dana Lash with you. You can watch us do radio, Channel 347, DirecTV, the chats at RumbleX and Facebook as well. We’ve been talking about a number of things. We’ve got some other domestic news to get into as well. We’ve been talking about assassination culture. Can I just say, though, because everybody, I can’t tell you how many of my friends are like, it feels different. I had three of them within weeks. you know, a handful of hours this morning, they were all posting the same thing on X or Facebook. It feels different because it is different. Because it is. And yesterday I was in my office after radio and I’m getting some things together for the newsletter and getting some things together for later this week. And I usually have the TV on. I like to have white noise. I’ll either have like music or something on in the background. I can’t. I have to have some kind of white noise. And I think I just had like Fox in the background. And the next thing I knew, I heard someone I know, a friend of mine, Greg Gutfeld, just lose it on camera. He had had enough. And I want to say this, too, because this is very important. I know a lot of people don’t like Jessica Tarloff. I’ve never met her in person. We follow each other on social media. I don’t agree with about 99% of the stuff that she says. But I would like to point to a distinction. She is not one of the people on the left who seek to strip you of your humanity. You can be mad at her for being wrong with her beliefs because she is. But she doesn’t seek to strip people of their humanity. Like the rest of the left does. I’m just adding that in to give you a sharper perspective on things. And she and Greg are friends. And the reason that he later apologized was just for yelling at her. Because it’s different when you know the person. It’s different when you’ve watched the person literally rise up in life from being a 17-year-old and then getting married and having babies. And it’s just very different when you feel like you have this investment of knowing someone for as long as you’ve known them. And then you see this happen. And it’s very unique because… of what the work that Kirk did. I think that’s why everybody, I mean, I don’t know anybody who doesn’t know him in this industry. Everybody knows him. That’s why it is different because it is. Anyway, he was on Fox yesterday and he got very upset with the whataboutism, whataboutisming. And he was correct. And I wanted to play this for you because up until this point, I had not seen anybody else You know, obviously, I don’t sit here and watch myself, but strike the note, I think, that not just I, but a lot of other people feel. And I wanted to play this for you. It’s a longer cut, but it’s worth it. And I was jokingly, I forgot cable news doesn’t have the same restrictions for the FCC because I had offered to give Greg my get out of jail free card that was bestowed on me by the commissioner of the FCC, Brendan Carr. I was like, oh, my gosh, I would like to transfer the properties of this get out of jail free card to Greg Gutfeld right now. Audio Soundbite 13. This is how it started. And it’s long, but it is worth the listen.
SPEAKER 11 :
We don’t need it. What is interesting here is why is only this happening on the left and not the right? That’s all we need to know.
SPEAKER 03 :
There’s absolutely no cognitive… What about Melissa Hortman that we just talked about?
SPEAKER 11 :
You want to talk about Melissa Hortman? Did you know her name before it happened? None of us did. None of us were spending every single day talking about Mrs. Hortman. I never heard of her until after she died. So she doesn’t matter? Don’t play that bullshit with me. You know what I’m saying is, there was no demonization amplification about that woman before she died. It was a specific crime against her by somebody who knew her. You could bring up Josh Shapiro, but then you will not bring up, for example, that that was a pro-Palestine person. So don’t use your, what about this? The fact of the matter is, the both sides argument is, not only doesn’t fly we don’t care we don’t care about your both sides argument that is dead for one thing there is no cognitive dissonance on our side on your side your beliefs do not match reality so you’re coming up with these rationalizations like what about this or what about that we’re not doing that because we saw it happen We saw a young, bright man assassinated, and we know who did it. We are not coming up with rationalizations. We are calm, we are honest, and we are resolute. We’re not defensive, and I understand the defensiveness. I understand why people are saying, what about this, and what about this? Because if you have to face the underlying fact to this… your life is going to fall apart because you’re going to realize you’re not the good guys if you sat around and you defended the mutilation of children you’re not the good guys if you sat 600 700 cases of uh of harassment against republicans and you said but what about this what about this and then you see this murder after calling somebody a fashion you fascist you realize maybe i’m not the good guy that is a hell of a realization to deal with so therefore Therefore, you have to grasp at rationalizations. You don’t have to do that, Jessica. They do. I don’t believe you’re part of that group, but why the hell do you have to mimic and echo that crap to us? He was a patsy. That guy was a patsy. He was under the hypnotic spell of a direct-to-consumer nihilism, the trans cult. And you know that. If you can decide that biology is false, you can agree that murder is okay and that humanity is expendable. How you cannot see that alone and see that for what the evil it is without having to attach all of these other things is beyond me.
SPEAKER 22 :
Preach. Preach. That is and that is it. The point where that with Melissa Hortman, the point that that Greg is making here said none of these people on the left knew who the hell she was. It’s not a statement of whether or not she mattered because of it. She wasn’t getting the daily threats like everybody on the conservative side gets every single day. She didn’t have to turn down events. Democrats don’t have to do that. I mean, good grief. There’s an event this weekend. I was asked if I’d speak at it and I’m like, it’s going to be outside. You know how many of these rooftops are going to be completely just open? Open season? No way. We got to think about that stuff. We’ve had to think about that stuff for a very long time. We definitely have to think about it now. That’s what he’s saying is that there was no rhetoric around the Hortmans before that. And that was a Tim Walz appointee and they found no King stuff in his car. I don’t know. Josh Shapiro, that was a pro Hamas sympathizer who targeted Josh Shapiro because he was Jewish. Maybe he was a Candace fan. I don’t know. Oh, I said it. So what is this? The what about is the mean that doesn’t fly? He’s exactly right. And he he followed it up with this about the media. This is a lot shorter. This is audio sound by 14. He followed it up with this. Listen.
SPEAKER 03 :
I just want to be clear. I want to let people speak. I, in no way, intended at all to minimize what happened to Charlie. I was horrified by it. I have not been on the five since then.
SPEAKER 11 :
But the two sides argument, it’s like pig Latin to a duck.
SPEAKER 03 :
No. All that I was saying is, could we have all of the information before you just say, they did this? Because that is a broad brush to paint with this. Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 11 :
Charlie had a conversation. He got shot. look i understand i’m sorry i’m sorry you weren’t here for a week you came in here and it’s cold and i’m sorry but this is a story that is immune to new cycles it’s immune to rationalizations it’s immune device this thing is with us for good and we all have to deal with that so that means we can’t live by the same arguments that you might be reading about about relativism among the media. We can’t deal with those stories. It doesn’t matter. The media is dead to us on the story. They built this thing up. We’re dealing with it. We’re going to act. We don’t care what the whataboutism is anymore. That’s dead. Sorry for the swearing as well. I apologize to the American public. I’m going to shut up for the rest of the show.
SPEAKER 22 :
Long live Greg Gutfeld. God bless him. He is so right in that. And He’s right, and I think that his analysis of what Tarloff was saying was accurate. And the point that he made, and I think this is the big one, why do they do it? Why did they, what about us, and why did my pastor try to bring up the Hortmans as though that was somehow, oh, well, look, see, it’s here too. It’s not. It’s not even remotely the same. Because if you have to look at really why, as Greg said, your life will fall apart. And he’s right. If you can fabricate this fantastical story that even though you were born with a male copulatory organ and you’re a dude, that you’re a woman, and if you don’t affirm that fantasy for that person, then somehow it is justifiable to perpetrate violence against you. Because when you drop all of the illogical equivocations, that’s what you’re looking at. And a lot of people on the left are having to do a real deep personal inventory. Yes, you are the baddies here. And you have a culture of this. This assassination culture. This culture of dehumanization and demonization. It is a culture. But Dana, some people on the right, people on the right, we don’t sit here and call people Nazis unless they’re actual jackbooted Nazis. You walking mental abortions. We do not use that language. Because we know what those words mean. We have dictionaries. We’re not dumbasses. That’s why. I had some people saying, I had some very sweet people. A couple of them, very sweet. And they were like, you are very upset over this. You’re damn right I am. You are right. You know why we’re all upset over this? Because haven’t conservatives lost enough? I mean, this it’s about Charlie and it’s also about a lot more. How many friends did you lose over COVID? Do you know I have one part of my family that has nothing to do with me or my kids because they’re my kids? One part of my family. And, oh, they’re all happy to act like they know me to the townsfolk and the Ozarks, but otherwise they won’t have anything to do with me because they’re socialists and I’m not. How many of you have been disinvited from Christmases because of that with your kids? How many of you have had people who were in your wedding party call you a murderer because you didn’t get an injection? Because I’ve had to live with that. I have other friends who lost dear friends of theirs. Over politics. They didn’t want to have anything to do with them. These people were always fine when we sat there silent. And we were not allowed the equal access of sharing our viewpoints as freely as they do. Because we were all about keeping the peace. Keeping the peace. Keeping the peace. We don’t want to rock the boat. Keep the peace. Keep the peace. Keep your mouth shut. Every damn day. Every damn event. Every damn occasion. Every damn holiday. We were the ones who kept the peace. No more. This is on you people. If you want unity, by God, then be worthy of it. So yes, when people say, you seem very mad about this. Yes, because we have already had a hundred little deaths. Friends, family, opportunities. I mean, hell, my agent, who’s a very sweet person, God love him, he didn’t do this, but he had pressure to drop me after Parkland. People in the industry did not want to have anything to do with me because of Parkland. He got pressure to drop me. It’s already been a hundred little deaths for a lot of us. Having something so massive like this happen the way it did was the last straw. So the what about doesn’t mean no, that does not fly. The media trying to equivocate it. No, that does not fly. And the sweet people who reached out, yes, we’re angry. I’m angry, especially because it’s different. It is different. It’s changed things. And now maybe people get a little bit of insight into why that is. We have more to come. Are you tired of doctors telling you no, can’t get affordable, off-patent medications? You’re not alone.

Political violence erupts again as conservative activist Charlie Kirk is murdered while speaking on a college campus. How do we fix this evil insanity?

SPEAKER 22 :
So Trump sues New York Times for $15 billion. I’m all for that. off for it. Go get it. Go get it. So you guys know what this is. I mean, it’s all again, it’s about media malpractice, defamation and libel. He said they were a degenerate newspaper, one of the one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the history of our country. I cannot do his voice. But he said the lawsuit was a great honor. Uh, and he said that it was, uh, the Epstein stuff. That’s why he’s suing them for the reporting over that. So fifth, that’s a lot of money, uh, 15 billion for defamation and libel. Conor McGregor announces he is withdrawing from the Irish presidency race. I’m actually kind of sad about this. He would have to be nominated by 20 members of the Irish parliament or for local authorities. He’s announced he’s withdrawing. He said, uh, he consults with his family. He’s taken, he’s withdrawn his candidacy, uh, And he’s apparently going to be in Dublin and Kildare County to address some of the crowd. A 95-year-old woman beat a fellow nursing home resident to death with a wheelchair part. Some people have really bad days. 95 years old.

That rant of false information. does not bring this country together. If you want to work on bringing this country, it’s my time, not yours. My God, my God.
SPEAKER 15 :
If you want to talk about dividing this country, I follow you on your social media posts that tear this country apart. You can try all you want to not take responsibility for what you have said. Sir, you’re making a mockery of this committee. Sir, you don’t tell me my time is over. The people of New Jersey tell me what my time is. You can’t lecture me. You can tell me my time is over?
SPEAKER 08 :
You may be the target. I’m not going anywhere. I am not afraid of you. Mr. Chairman. I’m not afraid of you. Mr. Chairman, point of order.
SPEAKER 25 :
Senator Booker, I announced at the beginning of this meeting that this back and forth talking over each other doesn’t work. And I said, if that happened, I asked Patel not to respond. And I was going to give him some time after the senator’s time was up to respond. And that’s he has the privilege to do that uninterrupted.
SPEAKER 22 :
So that’s in this. You have to bear with me. That’s in this hearing. that is happening right now with Kash Patel. And he’s at this oversight hearing talking about everything that went down the day that Kirk was assassinated. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. And we’ll be monitoring that as well. And anything that comes out of that, we’ll make sure that you have it and bring you the latest with it. That’s pretty. I got to tell you. This story about the we were talking about this on break, the trans aspect of the story with Kirk. I was talking to a friend of mine who works in the media in D.C., very like minded, very good reporter, a longtime reporter. And I’m actually going back and looking through my conversation because the individual that first was reporting all of this, the word is that it was a leak from the FBI on the trans issue. And then there was concern that it was going to be hid. much in the same way that Nashville was. Remember the Nashville trans killer went into the school and killed a bunch of children. There was a reporter on X, Brooke Singman, who had said that, first reported that Kirk’s assassin lived with his transgender partner and the individual’s transitioning. And I think the individual only cooperated with the FBI to avoid charges because, honestly, you can’t. The reporter is very close to Kash Patel. They’ve got a very close relationship for a government person and a reporter. And usually when a reporter has that type of relationship with someone and they get information, it’s always sources tell me or sources say. So they don’t identify the main person. All of my media friends were like, that leak on that came right from the FBI. Now, why would that happen? I think that It has to do with the fact that in Nashville they were hiding that. And I think that it was a move of ensuring transparency. That is my take. I thought it was very interesting because that the only person who out of the out of the FBI that would lead to that reporter would be Patel. And I’m not I’m not actually mad for mad at him if he did it. because of the way that the media was insisting. Remember, they were at that point, they were saying, oh, it was a right winger. At that point, they were telling you that this killer came from a Trump family. At that point, they were telling you that the killer was Republican. And then that leak came. And that changed the narrative. And that’s why I think it happened. So I don’t dislike him for that. He’s getting a lot of criticism for coming out and saying they had the guy, then they don’t have the guy. I tend to think it was transparency. I don’t dislike Hash Patel at all. He’s been on the show. I don’t know if some of this consternation is coming from the fact that he is a guy who is outside of the way that works because he’s not in the FBI. I don’t know. But there’s there’s there’s some criticisms from the right about him. I’m kind of agnostic on it. I just go back to that leak because at that point, the media had its mind made up. And they were insisting that it was a Trump Republican who did it. And then they were locking arms with all these conspiracy theorists acting like it was a Mossad thing, which is one of the I’m not even going to justify that with the fist game that it’s already received multiple times online. So when that leak happened, that to me was incredibly important. And I’m glad he leaked it. I’m not saying he did, but I’m glad he did. I don’t know. That’s that’s kind of how I view it. Do you think that the criticism Kane has merited? I don’t know what I think. It was all it’s one of those things where it’s the fog of war, so to speak, the information fog.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. And I think I think emotions are raw. I think there’s a lot of, you know, more sensitivity now. And that can alter judgment a bit.
SPEAKER 22 :
Right. Right. I agree. So this is just one of the things. One of the other things I wanted to make sure that we’re touching on. I don’t know if you’ve seen some of this. I put this flyer in Slack if we have it. And this goes into some of the stuff that Data Republican was sharing earlier. as it relates to the, uh, armed queers, SLC Salt Lake city, they co-hosted these workshops and they’ve done all this stuff. And there’s a lot of stuff out here about this. This is one of the things that was, uh, sent out. I put this, uh, I saw this this morning. This was one of the things that was shared. This was a flyer for, uh, The Trans-Tifa perpetuators that were behind the July 4th Alvarado ice facility shooting apparently are involved in this. And one of the people that’s being advertised in some of this stuff, this is just crazy. Elm Fork, by the way, you know where that’s at, right? It’s in Texas. I’ve shot at Elm Fork before. I’ve gone to Elm Fork. SLC Arm Queers is in Utah. And then you’ve got this, the flyer here as well that we were just showing you. Can we throw that back up real quick one? Sorry. This flyer and pull this up. This is Libs of TikTok found this. Can we just talk about this for a minute? What the hell does this mean? First off, you have the communist sickle. Then you have this moron who has no idea how to hold a gun. Finger on the trigger. Are you serious right now? Armed Queers SLC, that’s the group that is working with one of the entities that shot up an ICE facility. agitate, educate, organize. You don’t see law-abiding gun owners say stuff like that, by the way. No, I’ve never gone out there. For all the stuff that the media has said about me, I’ve never gone out and said with a poster that says agitate, holding a rifle with my finger on the trigger. It’s so stupid. So stupid. People that have more zeal than knowledge. I mean, you can’t make fun of it anymore because they’re killing people. The hammer and sickle. What other emblems can you fit on there, by the way? What other ones can you fit on there? What kind of lecture are they going to give? So this is in Salt Lake City. This is just one of the examples. The Armed Queers SLC, the same one that’s on this flyer, they’re the ones hosting these workshops at Elm Fork with a branch of the John Brown Gun Club and the Trans Antifa. That’s like Antifa, Trans Tifa. Wow, that’s a lot. They were behind that July 4th Alvarado Ice Facility thing. And one of the people that’s involved appears to have promoted all of this stuff on her private Instagram. And they tried scrubbing it. Google never forgets. So I’ve, you know, got some questions. And one of the things that they’re promoting is that the trans struggle. It’s, you know, the need for oneself. They really they’re looking at it like it’s like conflict. So all the people who are telling Trump and everyone else to tone down their rhetoric, why don’t you look at your trans street team here? You need to be telling these people this. You won’t do it because you’re cowards. And you would rather see conservatives be killed, apparently, than to tell your street team to knock it off. If you want to talk about toning down rhetoric, I just gave you an example. That’s the rhetoric that needs to be toned down. The trans people made it up that this trans Tifa movement made it up in their head that they’re under attack if people don’t affirm their cosplay. That is the most mentally ill thing I’ve ever heard. That’s mental illness. That is serious mental illness. to insist that you are under attack because someone won’t affirm your cosplay. That’s like me getting murdery because someone won’t affirm my fantasy that I’m a trillionaire. Are you kidding me? This is all a war that they’re making up in their own heads. And then the left that hates the right so much that they justify violence as a form of debate. They’re like, yeah, you’re right. You’re under attack. So crazy. I just feel like Democrats are encouraging this stuff and they’re nudging these people. Everybody’s a Hitler. Don’t forget. It’s what it feels like. Am I wrong? I don’t feel like I’m wrong, Cain. I don’t feel like I’m wrong. What do you see when you look at that flyer? With your blue ray, what is it, blue light blocking glasses?
SPEAKER 19 :
It is. It’s blue light blocking. When I see that, first of all, no discipline on her part, personal or trigger. And I don’t see how this can be interpreted in any other way than an avatar of the entire left.
SPEAKER 22 :
Like, what the hell are you resisting as a trans person? Right.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s all they have. They’re not for anything.
SPEAKER 22 :
I want the taxpayers to pay to have my wiener split in half and turned into a franken-gina. I don’t know. Well, that’s what it is.
SPEAKER 19 :
Cringy. Cringy.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, that’s the truth of it. I mean, that’s where we’re at. But what are they resisting?
SPEAKER 19 :
But that’s the thing. They’re always against something. They’re never for. They think that they’re proclaiming they’re for something when they’re doing this against something stuff, but they’re not.
SPEAKER 22 :
Correct. Completely like that. Yeah, I just, I don’t… I don’t understand what it is that this whole like, oh, it’s queer resistance. First off, all the other letters don’t want to be with you, T’s. They don’t. And secondly, what are you resisting? You’re the one who’s trying to force everyone to affirm your cosplay. We’re actually resisting. You’re the baddies here. Then you got this kind of stuff. By the way, what goofy pose is this? Who styled this photo? First off, I got immediately. This is another one. I’m going to stick my foot out. Are they trying to like play up the jackboot aspect of what they want to? Is that what this is? Because this is such an unflattering photo. The lighting is so harsh. It’s just so bad. But they’re like, here’s our gun again. People have no idea how to hold anything more zeal than knowledge. We’re armed and ready to bash back because people won’t call, sir. They won’t call you a woman. This is the most you want. This is the abusive patriarchy. And the left is just bending over and spreading cheeks. That’s exactly what they’re doing. This is the most this is the patriarchy at its most abusive form. And it’s always progressive because it’s always been progressive. This is a major issue. Now, I just had a column that dropped in The Washington Times, you know, literally the day that God help us all that that Charlie was killed. talking about how I don’t believe that transgender people as a whole should have guns banned. I think that that’s, you know, that’s a Pandora’s box and individual liberties and the revocation or the adjudication of someone as ineligible has always been done on an individual basis, not this group basis. But y’all aren’t helping it. You’re not helping this at all. I’ve yet to see like The closest person to a trans person that I saw, like, just very genuinely, authentically against the violence was Jeffree Star. That was literally, and I said the closest thing to like that, that I can think of. That’s it. I’ve not seen it anywhere else. I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been really actively looking, not seen it anywhere else. The question is why? We have more on the way. It’s our friends over at Relief Factor. Can we just have this like for the nation?

SPEAKER 17 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 22 :
So I’m trying to, I had a million of you guys send me this story on X and Facebook and elsewhere. This is from WFTV. A scuba-clad dude robbed a, in scuba gear, robbed a Disney Springs restaurant and then just swam away. Just swam away. Lake Buena Vista. Investigators are searching for a man that robbed a Disney Springs restaurant by swimming up in scuba gear and a wetsuit and then swimming away after he stole thousands of dollars. He hit the Paddlefish restaurant after midnight on Monday after it closed to guests. And deputies say they found a man, said the man found a place to store his wetsuit and scuba gear before he walked into the manager’s office where cash from the night before was being counted and deposited into a safe. He forced two employees to go to the corner of the room, said to close your eyes. The report, they said, was heavily redacted, but he tied them up, stole between $10,000 to $20,000, and he left within two minutes. And they called 911 after freeing themselves. No one was hurt. He didn’t have a weapon that he brandished or anything. And after leaving the replica steamboat, they think he put his scuba gear back on, jumped into the pond, and swam away, literally swam away. They said he was in tight clothing and a blue beanie, and he was slim for about 5’10”. That’s a new one for me. Yeah. I mean, it’s not like they can say Bolo wetsuit. You know, I mean, also, can I just add, you’re in Florida. You’re swimming in a pond in Florida. Kane, what lives in Florida ponds, sir?
SPEAKER 19 :
All the alligators.
SPEAKER 1 :
All of them.
SPEAKER 22 :
What do they like to eat? Case in point, a Florida woman punched an alligator in to save her four-month-old puppy after it dragged it into a creek. I would have literally gone John Wick on this thing and also opened its jaws like that and cracked it open. Oh my gosh. Four-month-old puppy. She’s taking it for a walk. This is a creek, y’all. For my kin in the Ozarks, a creek. And a five-foot alligator bit her dog’s collar and then tried to drag it underwater. She punched the gator’s eye. She said, I punched and punched. He kind of let go. His teeth were here, dragged down my arm. And it camouflaged itself in floating water moss, so it looked like turf. She’d never seen an alligator in the area before. So apparently, I mean, how’s the dog? I don’t care about your arm. How’s the dog? That’s what I all like. I mean, I guess the dog’s okay. Nobody says anything about the dog. She’s, you know, but she’s pretty hardcore. And she was able to whoop it. I think I would have honestly done the same thing. I’m not going to lie. Actually, I would have shot it in the head with my Taurus. But then, you know. Anyway, we got more on the way. Third hour next. Stick with us. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. You can find him where we do radio, Channel 347, DirecTV. The chat’s at Rumble. I’m looking for this. I put it in Slack. It’s this audio. It’s this audio of Kash Patel, the hearing where he was going back and forth. Sorry, Adam Schiff, not Swabble. He got into a fight with Adam Schiff. And they were screaming and yelling a little bit ago because the hearing’s now concluded. And now they’re getting ready to they’re announcing charges in Utah. And we’re going to be following that as well. But can we play this real quick? This is just from a little bit ago.
SPEAKER 14 :
You clearly won’t tell us the cabinet members associated with Mr. Epstein. Let me ask you one last question. And that is right after she gives this testimony in front of an FBI agent, among others. She’s transferred to a minimum security prison not suitable for a sex offender like herself. Who made that decision and why? The Bureau of Prisons. The Bureau of Decisions made it- Prisons. The Bureau of Prisons decided on their own, without any consultation with Blanche or anyone else, that they were gonna suddenly after this interview, completely unrelated to this interview, completely unrelated to anything she said, move her to a prison not suitable for a sex offender. You want the American people to believe that?
SPEAKER 20 :
Do you think they’re stupid? No, I think the American people believe the truth, that I’m not in the weeds on the everyday movements of inmates. What I am doing is protecting this country, providing historic reform, and combating the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of you. And we have countlessly proven you to be a liar in Russiagate,
SPEAKER 14 :
In January 6th, you are the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution and an utter coward. I’m not surprised.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m not surprised that you continue to lie from your perch and put on a show so you can go raise money for your charade.
SPEAKER 14 :
You are a political buffoon at best. Well, you can take…
SPEAKER 20 :
But all you care about is a child sex predator that was prosecuted by a prior administration and the Obama Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squat. And what did President Trump do? Bring new charges courageously. And what have we done? control. 33,000 pages of information to you. I challenge you to say anything credibly to the truth. Go ahead and run to the cameras where you want to go now.
SPEAKER 22 :
All right. Yeah, I’m here for that. No, Kash Patel stays in the FBI. Kash Patel, he stays in the FBI. He stays there. All y’all people complaining about him, he’s staying there. No, he’s not going anywhere. I mean, I just need to you know how you have a big meal and you feel full and you’re like fat and happy I Feel like that right now Kane. What do we got for dessert? What do we have for dessert? I mean, I feel like very full and full of joy and happiness after first genuine smile I’ve had and a few some days some days that was great and Adam Schiff you could tell he was so mad because his face kept getting tighter. I don’t know him and Nancy need to stop going to the same injector. It’s really bad. Uh, but he just like his, he got just tired. His face got tighter and tighter and his eyes got bigger and bigger and he was getting so angry, but he was lying. I mean, he, he was upset over, uh, what the Biden and Obama justice departments had done prior and cash, but tell everything that he said just then was exactly correct. Exactly correct. So, uh, I don’t know. I feel like that going to the transparency of what we were talking about last hour with the leak that came out to this reporter who was able to tell people that, oh, yeah, the Kirk killer lived with his twink roommate. Transgender roommate and they were and everyone was saying that they were in a relationship. So that was leaked by the FBI, I think, as a way to bring transparency, because previously in Nashville, etc. The they tried hiding this. You guys remember that? I mean, how long did we wait? It was like a year. I mean, we had a it was a huge legal fight. You had all of these news entities that were filing FOIA requests just to just to get some some clarity as to what happened. I know that we are awaiting. They started. I don’t think they’ve started the news conference yet out of Provo. Have they came? I know that they are going to announce the charges for the killer and the Kirk assassination. And while we wait for some updates on that, because when they take that live, I’d like to take some of that live.
SPEAKER 26 :
Today after reviewing the evidence that law enforcement has collected thus far, I am filing a criminal information charging Tyler James Robinson, age 22, with the following crimes. Count one, aggravated murder, a capital offense for intentionally or knowingly causing the death of Charlie Kirk under circumstances that created a great risk of death to others. Count two, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, a first degree felony. The state is further alleging aggravating factors on counts one and two because the defendant is believed to have targeted Charlie Kirk based on Charlie Kirk’s political expression and did so knowing that children were present and would witness the homicide. The state is also charging defendant with count three, obstruction of justice, a second degree felony for moving and concealing the rifle used in the shooting. Count four, obstruction of justice, a second degree felony for disposing the clothing he wore during the shooting. Count five witness tampering a third degree felony for directing his roommate to delete his incriminating texts. Count six witness tampering a third degree felony for directing his roommate to stay silent if police questioned him. and count seven commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child, a class A misdemeanor for committing homicide, knowing that children were present and may have seen or heard the murder and did so based on Charlie Kirk’s political expression. Also, following the press conference, I am filing a notice of intent to seek the death penalty. I do not take this decision lightly, and it is a decision I have made independently as county attorney.
SPEAKER 22 :
So we got the meat and potatoes of the charges, which I’m going to break down here coming up, but the charges really quickly are as follows, multiple counts. He’s got aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, aggravating factors in the first two counts involve the political targeting and the presence of children, two counts of obstruction of justice. Also, two counts of witness tampering, telling the roommate to delete messages, telling the roommate to remain silent. And the seventh, commission of a violent offense in presence of a child, and they are seeking the death penalty.
SPEAKER 05 :

SPEAKER 22 :
We have a hard break coming up and then a guest, but I want to take the rest of this press conference right here. The charges that have been announced in this case come with the death penalty. This is Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray at this press conference live now in progress.
SPEAKER 26 :
Was etched. No tices bulge. O-W-O. What’s this? The second cartridge. that was again not spent, the last three were not spent, were not fired. The second, hey fascist, catch, with arrow symbols. The third cartridge, oh Bella chow, Bella chow, Bella chow, chow chow. The fourth cartridge, if you read this, you are gay, LMAO. The rifle, ammunition rounds, and towel were sent for forensic processing. DNA consistent with defendant was found on the trigger, other parts of the rifle, the fired cartridge casing, two of the three unfired cartridges, and the towel. Law enforcement was unable to immediately locate the shooter. So they published photos of the shooter.
SPEAKER 22 :
So we have a break coming up. We’re also going to be joined by Gabe Altaib. He’s a comic artist who was at DC Comics. He got one of the trans TIFAs fired for celebrating executions. Stick with us.
SPEAKER 05 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with the Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 22 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of this third hour. And again, you can listen all over the country terrestrially. We’re also at X. You can watch the radio show, Channel 347, DirecTV as well. Rumble the chat. Really quickly, if you’re just joining us, Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray announced the charges against Charlie Kirk’s murderer. Seven counts aggravated murder felony discharge of a firearm aggravating factors in the first two meaning it’s elevated because of its political expression was targeted in the presence of children. Two counts of obstruction of justice for disposing of the clothing and dropping the rifle in the woods. Two counts of witness tampering. He told the roommate to delete messages, told the roommate to be silent. Commission of a violent offense in presence of a child. And they are filing to seek the death penalty and should be note that Utah has death by firing squad. So I just wanted to point that out. So that’s the latest and a lot of stuff to unpack on this. So, again, welcome back. My next guest, we talked to him a couple of weeks ago on our podcast. much better circumstances than what we’re discussing today. I can’t imagine, I mean, I can, but to be in such a particular skillset-driven industry as our friend Gabe Altayib is, and then to see it so dominated, not just by people who think differently than you on policy, most everyone, we can abide by that. We’re not crazy people, but people who celebrate assassination, who celebrate brutal murder based on your ideology, based on what you believe. These are the people who insist that speech is violence so they can use violence to attack you for your speech. To see how many of them are in these industries is stunning, how many people are excusing it and celebrating it. And there was one in the world of comics. And it had to do with a I mean, it was described by it was described by the Daily Mail as a, quote, bloodthirsty trans author who mocked Kirk, mocked the assassination and ended up losing his job as a result of it because it was called out. by our guests. Gabe El-Taib, as you know, he’s joined us previously. He walked away from his dream job at DC Comics, and he is an author. He’s an illustrator. He’s an artist. He is a Christian. He’s a free speech enthusiast, and he joins us now via video, and he has bigmancomics.com as well, and they’re crowdfunding their new sci-fi action series as well. Gabe, It’s so good to see you. I’m so sorry it’s under these circumstances. First, before we dive into the story, just let me get your thoughts on everything that happened. How are you feeling?
SPEAKER 28 :
You know, I knew of Charlie Kirk. I would see his clips online like everyone else, but I wasn’t too into it because I agree with everything he said. So it’s like, you know, he’s schooling these college kids and he’s doing a great thing. I didn’t know the impact the guy had because I didn’t pay that close of attention. I don’t think I’ve ever been touched by a death of someone I didn’t know this deeply. You know, I… Couldn’t sleep right. I didn’t eat for days. I lost three pounds. My wife and I are bickering over like who left the cap off the toothpaste. You know what I mean? Like we were weird and slippy and moody and just like it’s devastating. And I went to church Sunday and I thought it would be this way. And it was packed like it was Christmas or Easter. So they’re failing to get what they wanted out of, they made Charlie’s, God’s message to Charlie more powerful than it ever could have been if he had lived. So God bless him and his family. It’s devastating and it disgusts me as an American. We don’t do that in this country. You know, it’s been decades since we’ve had a political assassination. This is America. We’re civilized people. This is the greatest country in the history of the world. We don’t do this. Left wing, right wing, whatever. You don’t do that when you disagree with someone. It’s disgusting.
SPEAKER 22 :
We don’t do that. And that’s the I mean, there I was saying earlier, we were talking about this on break. There were so many people that would willingly, you know, cut themselves out of your life the moment that you were as equally free with your viewpoints as they are theirs. And you really had it. You got hit with it hard in your industry, particularly.
SPEAKER 28 :
right yeah ask anyone that works for the hollywood studios what that’s been like probably for decades you know i only started working for warners in january of 2008 and i only stayed in the building for three years and i went freelance for until four years ago when i quit and protested they just got woke disgusting messaging just went too far and uh they were always free to say anything about christians and conservatives i remember being on a rooftop party at the san diego comic-con my editor will dennis The, I don’t know, the topic turned to something political and he said, oh, you know, these stupid effing Christians. Me and my wife just looked at him like, all right. And we just said, hey, man, we got to go and talk to other people. But it was blatant like that constantly. Storylines, characters. I sent your producers many examples and there’s just hundreds of examples like the few I sent. of where they write the narrative in the comic of the white Christian male oppressors are Nazis and you know what we can do to Nazis, and they allow it to go on. And I will call out by name, Vice President Warner Brothers, the guy that hired me, Jim Lee, When are you going to have the guts to do something about this? Because we’ve talked on the phone, Jim. We’ve eaten dinner together. You hired me personally, and you know. I’m a football coach forever. We have a saying in football. You’re either coaching it or allowing it. So what is it, Jim? Are you telling them to do this, or are you just watching them do it and twiddling your thumbs so you can keep getting that sweet Warner Brothers check? When are you going to be a man and do something about it?
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah. It’s powerful. And Jim Lee, your boss at DC Comics, vice president, I mean, you had to confront him about this writer that was saying this awful stuff. And not just saying stuff, celebrating… There is a big difference, as we all know, in someone expressing a viewpoint that you just disagree with. Oh, my gosh, you’re wrong about taxes or you’re wrong about electric car, whatever. But there’s a huge difference between that and between I’m so excited that someone killed an innocent father and husband. Huge difference. And this was tell us the story. This was happening at DC Comics. This was an author at DC Comics. They were going to be still employed there had it not been for you.
SPEAKER 28 :
I don’t want to take full credit. This thing caught fire online and there were tens of thousands of views. Everybody tweeting at DC Comics Warnerverse. But this was me about 50 minutes after my daughter told me Charlie had been shot at noon. At noon Pacific, I heard about it. And this, I sent this to Jim at like 12.50 because I saw it online. And I said, when is the public condemnation and firing? You can’t have employees like this. You cannot have people like this. This is not okay to celebrate political assassination, murder. I wouldn’t want anyone like that working for me, left wing, right wing, whatever. They’re going to be a bad employee and make the company look terrible. You know, to their credit, they got rid of them, canceled the book the next day. To not their credit, they never made a public statement about it. You know what I mean? So we’re still waiting for that. And yeah, I sent your producer these things, where they still have an upcoming book, the Batman Annual this year. Oh, the storyline is he’s taking on supremacists wearing white hoods. That’s you. That’s who that’s supposed to be, Christians, patriots. That’s who he’s going to beat up. Right. And when you program people with stories, we know there’s scientific research showing that narrative movies, books, comics, music, parables. It is the hardest parables. It is the most potent form of persuasion. And if you if you bathe people in this for decades, they’re going to believe it. They’re going to believe that Christians, conservatives, heterosexual people, family people, patriarchal people are evil and need to be stopped. Because what do we do to Nazis, Dana? What do we have to do to them? What would you do if you were in Germany in 1938, right? You’d be justified, right? You know, one of the editors that I worked for about 10 years ago, he’s no longer there, but he had that quote in the middle of that other graphic I sent you. To paraphrase, he says, you know, these conservatives are mad at the woke storylines because they grew up to be the kind of people that a hero would punch in the face. Right? So that’s what they’re doing. They’re putting that ideology and they’re constantly in it. Yeah, they’re comics. There’s not a big deal what some viewers might be thinking. What has dominated the box office for the last 15 years in America? What is the best selling books out there? Manga, which is Japanese comics, right? In America, it’s the best selling books out there. Comics are a huge part of our culture. They’re an original American art form. The bottom line is they’re persuasive, though, as are movies and television. And that’s why you can’t be watching this filth. And the companies have to be brave enough to root these communists out. Write stories about heroes. Stop calling your fellow Americans people worthy of being murdered for their opinions.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s exactly right. And so well said. We’re talking with our friend Gabe Altaib. And this, to your point, I was reading some of the reports of what this author had said. And They, he’s one of those individuals that believes it is oppression by simply not affirming their lifestyle. That if you are not actively affirming their lifestyle that you’re killing them. That’s, I mean I’m verbatim what they were saying in comments, what he was saying in comments. And then when they look at things like that, when that Trans Tifa movement views things through that perspective, You can see how then they tell themselves, oh, it’s justifiable to hurt someone in response for it, just as you were saying.
SPEAKER 28 :
Right. Yeah. Let’s put those big crosses on these white supremacists that Superman is beating up. You think they don’t know what they’re I’ll tell you this. I draw for a living. I write for a living. Every word of dialogue I write, every pencil stroke I put down, I choose to do it. The pen, the paintbrush, they never hit the board by accident. You draw that cross on purpose like that. This is an old one, decades old, and leftists in the entertainment industry always trot this out and say, comics have always been political, and what they’re really saying is anti-Christian, anti-patriotic, anti-MAGA, all that. Because look it, he’s punching a Nazi, and you’re all Nazis because we declare it. By fiat, they declare us Nazis because they say so. And then, of course, they’re allowed to take out Nazis. Of course, it’s logical.
SPEAKER 22 :
Let me ask you this. Are we able, we got, our society got into this position because a lot of people didn’t understand the order of importance of how minds consume information. And a lot of people, to be honest about it, and I have never liked the siloing off of Christian culture, like Christian music, regular music. I’m always like fight for what’s yours in the realm of ideas. Right. We, our society got into this situation I think because we allowed bad stories to be told and we allowed minds to be shaped. Can we now, is that, can we reverse it through the same way? Or in your opinion, because this is what you see every day and you know your audience, is this something that can’t even, can you reverse it through telling stories?
SPEAKER 28 :
Well, you can. It’s going to take decades. Picture society like a conveyor belt. Stuff has to be built a long time ago, and then it comes down the conveyor belt a generation later, right? So we have to get to the young people now. Why do you think they go after kids? Because the children are the future, as that cliche goes. They are. You and I were once kids. Why do I like what I like? Why do I have the opinions I have? Because the way I was raised. My mother was so strict growing up. We didn’t listen to worldly music. We had like five VHS cassettes. We didn’t have cable TV. We were not allowed to listen to filth. And I would tell everyone watching this, you have to guard your kids’ minds, your grandkids’ minds. You have to. My mother did me the greatest favor by being too strict about that stuff. My dad, too. And so I grew up to like, I see this worldly stuff, and I’m like, no. Because I get disgusted. I see conservatives tell me, oh, Deadpool’s my favorite movie. The thing is X-rated. What are you talking about? It’s disgusting. And kids sure as heck shouldn’t be watching that. And that’s why I left a dream job. I made six figures working for Warners and Marvel and all of them to start my own because someone has to do it. People are going to consume entertainment no matter what. So if we don’t give them a good alternative with great artists and great writers, because a lot of the Christian movies and musicals, they’re not that good because the conservative culture doesn’t love and embrace raising people in the arts the way the left does. The left is much smarter about understanding how important movies and music and TV and comics. They’re way smarter about understanding that. And the right wing is always like, ah, whatever. You know, they just they brush off the arts like it’s something wimpy or weird or something like that. Right.
SPEAKER 22 :
Gosh, well, I mean, exactly what you were saying. Cut that because that’s that’s that’s good. Put it on social because that right there, you just explained it all literally in an elevator pitch. Why it’s so important. And it’s so it’s difficult when, you know, I’ve gone to these events and I’ve tried getting people to donate money to these causes, you know, causes of arts and entertainments with conservatives and and. Oh, my gosh. In some instances, it’s like it really isn’t. God love them. I understand that, you know, conservatives think very differently and they’re very, very, you know, very cautious and very discerning with their money. I get it. But this right here, you have to support exactly what you’re talking about. That’s where the efforts need to go. That’s where the support needs to go, because now we are all living under the consequence of it not being done for all of these decades. So God love you for saying that.
SPEAKER 28 :
Thank you very much. And I would say I would challenge everyone that can hear the sound of my voice. When is it enough? Did you see enough? Was Wednesday enough? Because to me, it was enough years ago. You know, to me, it was enough years ago. I walked away from a job that is so hard to get that I loved as a child that I wanted to do. I worked so hard to get that. And they told me we’re making disgusting new Superman comics. I just quit because I have principle. And I have the stamina to do it. And do you have it? You out there. I’m calling you out. You out there. Because it’s like, oh, the arts, whatever. I don’t want to support. It doesn’t matter what you want, right? You believe in reality, right? Conservatives are realists. Well, the reality is you have to do this. This is existential for your culture. You have to cancel Disney+, cancel Netflix, yes. And then you have to support the good art that is teaching the kind of values and giving good entertainment, not just a lecture about conservative values, but amazing entertainment that’s good for you and your family. You have to. And I would never expect you to buy art that is bad, boring, poorly drawn, poorly written. No, it’s garbage. I get it. That’s why I’m making the best stuff out there. But you have to get involved. You have to raise kids to sing and dance and act and all of it. We cannot ignore. Look at what ignoring the arts has gotten us. Right. The religion of the West, I hate to say, is entertainment. This is the main point of most people’s lives in the West. That needs to change to God and family. But until it does, we need to jump in the middle of that and say, hey, we’ve got a better offer for you. We’ve got some more entertaining, better written, better acted, better singing, better drawings. We’ve got better stuff and it’s got good morals. We have to do it.
SPEAKER 22 :

And you’ve already felt the fire. And you’re doing the Lord’s work, my friend. And thank you for creating something that’s good. Just thank you for making something that’s good and not something that we all have to pretend is good and go, oh, yeah, that’s It affirms our views. It’s actually good. You are a fantastic storyteller. You are a great artist. And I’m so glad that you’re on our side. Thank you for that.
SPEAKER 28 :
I’m glad I have you. I’ve teamed up with great people like Dean Cain played Superman. James Bond kind of book that we do. You can get that. And Tyrus, the Fox News superstar. I have a big thing that’s like Ninja Turtles and Incredible Hulk.
SPEAKER 22 :

The trans coward wasn’t man enough or courageous enough to debate Charlie Kirk, so he killed him. The messages that are now being released in this press conference about the conversation that he had with his twink boyfriend are horrible. We’ll discuss this tomorrow. God bless everybody. And remember, stay right in faith, right? Just be assertive. God bless. Back tomorrow.
