In today’s episode, we dissect the recent call for a Netflix boycott led by Elon Musk, sparked by controversial content in children’s programming. We delve into how these programs, often marked as suitable for young audiences, sneak in adult themes not mentioned in parental guidelines. Amidst ongoing debates, we unpack the potential motives behind content creation and discuss the societal impacts on young viewers while encouraging parents to be more vigilant about the media their children consume.
More young lefties are embracing communism and actually believe it’s never really been tried. Joy Reid exposes the right’s dastardly secret that it wants less taxes and regulation. And a few weeks after insisting he will never drop out, New York City Mayor Eric Adams drops out.

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. I just saw Cain tell a dude that he needs Midol on social media. Just saw that one. It’s a nice, nice comeback. All right. So a Florida attorney was convicted of bringing cocaine into a Florida jail. It’s almost like he should have known that that was illegal. If only he had the education to know. that that was illegal. 60-year-old David Castles was convicted of one count possession of cocaine, count of felony, introduction of contraband into a county detention facility. Why are his glasses crooked? On his mugshot. It’s bothering me really badly. It’s very asymmetric. In the verdict, the judge sentenced him to a year in jail, three years of probation, 300 hours of community service. He has to go through substance abuse things, stuff like that. But that’s just one of the dumbest cell phones. So much of this is like self-owning, people self-owning. This one guy got 17 and a half years because he led a cocaine trafficking network from Puerto Rico to New York. That’s also a big bad no-no. So I’m surprised New York did anything about it, right? But it was a cocaine distribution network that spanned from Puerto Rico to upstate New York, U.S. Attorney’s Office. They handed this dude, a 49-year-old dude from Lady Lake, Florida, 17 and a half years in prison. He was also involved in money laundering, distribution, all kinds of bad stuff. That’s not something that, you know, there’s a lot of the cocaine distribution happening here. This, Gulf Coast News, a Florida man was accused of street racing. at 124 miles per hour. And when the police got him, his excuse was that, quote, I have to use the bathroom. That’s why he went 124 miles per hour at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, you see, in Lee County, Florida. It was a late night street race. And they’re still searching for the motorcyclist. He was racing a motorcycle. This is how people get killed. The Toyota Camry this guy was racing. If you were wondering if it was a Camry, you are correct. A Toyota Camry and motorcycle stopped side by side at a traffic light. They were able to get it on some CCT stuff from other businesses and that. But yeah, they clocked him at going 124. The motorcycle hit more than 140. When they stopped him, he said, I had to use the bathroom really badly. I had to use the bathroom bad is what he said. The Camry driver did not have a license. And the police were like, well, that’s a red flag, number one. And number two, that it was happening at three in the morning. That’s also another red flag. And then Sheriff J.D. Grud, he well, no, Sheriff Grady Judd said a Florida man who is a retired deputy insulted workers at McDonald’s drive through with a child in the front seat. So he drove through. He was competitive towards McDonald’s workers. And he had like an unstrained kid, 18 month old in the front seat. We’ll have more on that tomorrow. all tailored to your climate.

SPEAKER 04 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Bottom of the second hour. So Elon Musk has called for a Netflix boycott. Well, he said he was boycotting. Actually, he goes, cancel Netflix for the healthier kids. And he cites this show called Dead End Paranormal Park. It’s a show on Netflix that has, I mean, it’s a pretty… Well, I mean, they’re promoting trans stuff to kids. Now, the show is advertised for young kids, right? But it’s rated PG, but it’s still advertised for young kids. And this guy, I think people found it. I don’t know because it’s not even in production anymore. It’s an older show. And one of the, so Lorraine made the point that she thinks people found it because the creator of the show that who wrote the comic on which the show is based was mocking Charlie Kirk’s murder. And I think that that’s kind of, and I tend to agree that I think that’s maybe how people found it. And so now everyone saw the show and this is like an example. of the content for this program. And because we don’t want to get pulled from YouTube, we can play the audio and show you the screen cap. But that’s pretty much it. But this is like the scene. For example, this is cut 27 Park.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s, it’s me. I’m trans, Norma. And everyone at school knows. And everyone at home knows. And being here, it’s like a whole new place. I can just be Barney. And I can choose if and when I tell people. I’ve never been happier. And that’s saying something when I spent today chased by terrifying zombie mascots. Pugsley reminded me how important it is to live your life without apology. So I think I gotta give living here a shot. Don’t you?
SPEAKER 03 :
You don’t need my permission. I just wouldn’t want Courtney as a roommate.
SPEAKER 04 :
So the guy who plays Barney is also apparently trans. Yeah. And so Musk thought was like, oh, yeah, we got to, you know, cancel it for to protect your kids. The guy who Hamish Steele, who created the. The comic on which the show is based was the guy who was, you know, apparently he was making fun of Charlie Kirk being assassinated. And the show got canceled in 2023, but it’s still on Netflix, like it’s archived on Netflix. And it’s supposed to be PG. I don’t know. I mean, it seems when you they’re like, oh, it’s not really for kids. It’s for PG. But then you see the content. It’s being marketed towards kids. I’m not even going to take that from these people who are like, oh, guns are marketed towards kids. No, they’re not. But this clearly is. This absolutely is. And it hasn’t been a production for like over two years, but it’s like I said, it’s still up on Netflix. So still the guy who created the comic that the show’s based on, he made fun of Charlie Kirk being murdered and said some really nasty stuff online, like tons of stuff. And then so now Musk, it has Musk’s attention and he’s gone after it as well. And then he kind of flirted around with the idea of creating a Netflix like entity and competing with Netflix. Right. But, I mean, the guy literally celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk. He absolutely did. He celebrated his murder and made fun of it and all this other stuff. So, I don’t know. I’ve never seen it. It was canceled after the second season was released in October of 2022. And the, again, the Kirk stuff, his comments, and then plus the Barney Trans character just catapulted it now into the news. I just don’t even know why anybody would watch this. People got to pay, parents also need to pay attention to this stuff. There’s almost no… I would not set my kids in front of any new animation unless it was like anime. I would not put them in front of any non. I’m not kidding you. If it’s not made in Japan, if it’s not made even in South Korea, if it’s not anime or if it’s not old Warner Brothers, I would not allow my kid to watch it at all. No joke. I don’t even know. And my kids, when my kids were younger, we really, really watched what they watched. And they could watch, I mean, you know, obviously get your chores done, blah, blah, blah. But they could watch, you know, the stuff that we approved for them to watch. And they watched old Warner Brothers. They watched VeggieTales, things like that. But this new stuff, because it’s so… Subversive. You might watch a couple of episodes of something and then like in the third episode, boom, here’s a character that’s talking about trans or talking about very, very adult subjects in what is clearly children’s programming. And there’s no indication in any of the descriptions for parents ahead of time. So you’ve got to be very, very careful as to what you allow your kids to watch. I’m not kidding. I would not allow my kids to watch anything unless it was a pre-approved, pre-really sussed out selection that we had picked for them. probably even more, it would be more controlled than I was with my kids when they were little. You would have to be, because there’s so much stuff out there. And there are so many people with political agendas. Used to, when people would create content like children’s programming, it would be programming that the kids would find entertaining. Now, it is the adults that want to massage their egos by presenting what they think kids should believe to kids. It’s not about servicing the kids anymore. It’s about servicing the ego of the creator. And they’re usually left-leaning. So have you ever seen the show, Cain, the dead and paranormal thing? Paranorman almost went too far for me towards the end. It was a good movie, Paranorman. And at the very end, boom, they hit you in the face with alphabet stuff that’s way above a kid’s pay grade.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I mean, you have to think about how these things get created. There’s a lot of intention behind their creation because you got to be able to generate the funding in order to make it even happen. So you got to sell your idea. Now, did they sell them on this idea in the beginning or did they bait and switch them? That’s something that I’d like to find out. But this was all done with intention. Oh, completely. And they all are done that way.
SPEAKER 04 :
So kind of in this, do you guys remember Imane Keefe, Khalif? The boxer who wanted to compete as a woman and got kicked out. Remember this guy? Iman Khalif from Algeria rose to global prominence and they call him a her, but man, it is such a dude looking dude. So this image of this guy. So now he got kicked out of the boxing thing. So he’s not in the boxing stuff anymore. And by the way, Juan says that he canceled his Netflix account over a year ago. Good for Juan. He’s like, there’s no point in watching this garbage. Our partners that help bring you this hour, our friends at Caltech, the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun. This is a shotgun to have. I think it was this one that was in one of the WIC films. I was actually trying to remember because I know that they had, or maybe it was a KSG, but this is the KS7. It’s awesome. Absolutely awesome. It’s the next evolution in home defense and innovation. And the KS7 Gen 2, you got tons of upgrades on this. First off, you got five slot Picatinny style accessory rails. You can add vertical grips. You can add lights, you know, keep it flush and sleek if you want, whatever, however you want to do it. It’s a smooth pump action for faster, cleaner cycling. You got enhanced durability, but it’s ultra light. I mean, it’s like 6.8 pounds unloaded. It’s a compact bullpup design. So you got lots of maneuverability and tight spaces, ambidextrous downward shell ejection, a seven plus one capacity. So you have serious stopping power. It is a go-to for home defense. Range days, fun. I mean, if you’re seasoned or if you’re a first timer, The KS7 Gen 2 Defender is for you. And the Defender package ups the game as well. You got Vortex, Crossfire, Green Dot, Extended Butt Pad. You got the Magpul RVG Vertical Grip, all kinds of stuff. And you can get it classic Kel-Tec Black or as a part of the Defender series, totally kitted out and ready to rock. MSRP, $639. I know. It’s performance within reach. It’s from Kel-Tec. KS7 Gen 2. Everything is made right here in the U.S. of A. American materials, American workers, everything. Learn more at Kel-Tec Weapons dot com. That’s K-E-L-T-E-C Weapons dot com. Tell them Dana sent you.
SPEAKER 06 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 04 :
They fear, according to Newsweek, that there are at least 20 fatalities in this major earthquake, 6.9 magnitude, that struck the Philippines. Powerful offshore quake with a 6.9 magnitude. It hit central Philippines late Tuesday, collapsed walls of houses and buildings. 20 fatalities at least. Many others injured, officials said. And it cut power across different provinces and sent residents fleeing into the streets in the dark. That’s terrifying. So they’re obviously trying to get everything under control there. That’s terrifying. At night as well. I can’t imagine like a tornadoes at night. No earthquakes at night. No, no thanks. Michigan confirms an alligator was spotted at Belle Isle Park in Detroit, Michigan. State Parks and Wildlife officials confirmed they’re trying to figure out to do what to do about credible photographic evidence of an alligator at Belle Isle Park. Visitors alerted park workers to a potential alligator sighting, although the officials themselves did not visually confirm the presence of the gator. But they said they’re coordinating a search of the area and determining next steps as a precaution. And they said that they were aware of social media rumors regarding a boa constrictor sighting, but there’s no evidence that the boa… I mean, are they just going to start making stuff up? There’s also a Bigfoot there. Or herd. Just think. This is wild. In a television interview… A man admits to killing and burying his parents during a television interview in their upstate New York home eight years ago. And then as he left the studio, he was arrested. The guy, Lorenz Krause, 53, it came a day after police said they recovered two bodies from a home in Albany as part of this investigation that found his parents dead. And they were still receiving apparently Social Security payments, despite the fact that no one saw or heard from them in years. So this guy contacted his local news outlet, right? He said for a half hour interview. And then he said that he mercy killed his parents because they were aging and becoming frail. And he goes, yes. And it was so quick. And he was obviously arrested right after he left. That’s insane. Thieves steal a million dollars worth in craft whiskey from a Washington distillery. They made off with 12,000 bottles of craft whiskey in a rare U.S. liquor heist. And not only did they get about a million dollars worth of the product, they apparently also took about half… of the stock of a single malt distillers that they’d worked on for more than a decade to make. It’s the Skagit Valley Sheriff’s Office that’s investigating, and whiskey aficionados are wondering where the Westland Distillery’s first 10-year Gariana whiskey might turn up. And they don’t know. That’s kind of wild, right? I wonder if they’re going to relabel them. They said the bottles of the Gariana are irreplaceable. And they said it’s a pretty extraordinary situation. And it’s going to be difficult to sell them. I would think that they would change the labels, wouldn’t they? You think they would? But then, I don’t know, you could get more knowing that they’re that particular type of whiskey. So that’s a catch-22 for a greedy thief, isn’t it? That’s kind of wild. And… Why are people talking about steroids turning dudes gay? So this Amin Khalif, let me set this up and then I’m going to tell you where it’s going to go. So this dude who was a boxer, he got bounced out of boxing because he’s a dude who wanted to compete as a female. And now he is the face of a beauty brand that is from Algeria. Now, Juan is showing you right now, the middle screen is the ad, okay? A beauty brand. A beauty brand.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hold on. If I’m the photographer, and by the way, I’m not a professional photographer.
SPEAKER 04 :
I swear to you guys, hands to sky, this is real.
SPEAKER 06 :
People watching on the screen right now at home, that’s a guy who doesn’t look happy. That’s a man. Right.
SPEAKER 04 :
What is it for? Is it like for… uh how do they use that one of all the pictures they took is this the best photo right that they had i got i got a lot of questions about this is this the best i i don’t know i’m very torn on this so the it’s called bell nco i don’t know how to say it’s from uh it’s algeria it’s an algerian beauty brand And in the campaign, they said, well, he embodies strength. Well, they call him a she. And they go she, but it’s a he. Embodies strength, resilience, and grace. It’s a perfect reflection of what skin with attitude really means. So I guess it’s like a foundation. This is a dude. He is the most dudest dude I think I have ever… She sounds hideous. Well, she’s a guy, so… I’ve ever seen. But I just need to see the ad again. I’m sorry, Juan. I just want to see that ad one more time.
SPEAKER 03 :
Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s… Maybe it’s testicles. Maybe it’s a penis.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s just… Excuse me, it’s man. It is man. I’m just saying. Is that the best photo? Is that his smolder?
SPEAKER 06 :
Smolder?
SPEAKER 04 :
Ladies, are you buying a beauty brand from that? Are you going to see, I want to look like that man? Said no lady ever.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, so we all know that marketing is a lot.
SPEAKER 04 :
That is a man’s jaw, Cain. He can crack nuts with it.
SPEAKER 06 :
A lot of the marketing has to do with the visuals, right? So this guy doesn’t look anything like a woman. And then he’s holding up the product. And the product looks like it’s some black label RX you get from Randall Drugs. Like, no one’s going to be buying that. The packaging doesn’t… Juan, put that up on the screen again. It’s like, what is that? I don’t even know. I don’t even know.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m not even a woman. Come buy my foundation.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m just… He could sell razors for your face. But I’m not. Here’s another reason why this ticks me off so bad. Dudes do not have the same skin as women. Dudes grow hair on their face. Women do not have the same skin texture. We don’t have the same issues. We don’t have the same hormones. We don’t have the same concerns. A man cannot wear a makeup that will be suitable for a woman to wear. It is not possible. It’s just not possible. You’re ignoring the needs of females to cater to a guy who’s playing dress up. And then you want to smear everybody as bigots who object to it, who object to being erased. He already tried to erase women in women’s sports. And now he wants you to listen to him about ladies’ makeup. This is actually, believe it or not, the most feminine photo that he has ever taken. Kane, if you don’t believe me, Google his name and look at the images.
SPEAKER 06 :
I did, and you are right. And it looks like there was a lot of effort to make him look like a female.
SPEAKER 04 :
I mean, he looks like he hates the product.
SPEAKER 06 :
It just ain’t working. Can’t believe I’m selling this.
SPEAKER 04 :
What is he going to sell next? Tampons? Like, are you going to?
SPEAKER 03 :
Some Tampax. Imane Khalifa’s Tampax.
SPEAKER 04 :
Where does it end? You know what I’m saying? Like, where does it end? I mean, it’s a legit question.
SPEAKER 06 :
It should have ended a long time ago.
SPEAKER 04 :
But that is actually, I can’t, that’s like the most feminine photo I’ve ever seen of the dude. He’s a dude. He’s a dude with dude stuff. He’s got dude chromosomes, dude chromosomes, dude DNA, dude bits, dude. It’s all dude-age, okay? There’s no objection. No jury would convict you if you saw this gentleman and thought, why is he wearing lipstick? Nobody would convict you. The problem is that normally if he was just doing his thing and just like I’m a dude that likes wearing makeup and I’m not going to try to bump women out of women’s spaces, nobody would have. Honestly, we’re all too busy. I don’t care. Like, just don’t bother me and interrupt me and, you know, be a burden on my life. But when you try shoving women out of men’s spaces and then you fail at that and then you double down on the offense, you’re absolutely going to get mocked and deservingly so because ridicule ridicules a magnificent weapon. Oh, and by the way, for the lady who thought that me talking about the mean lady in the gym the other day was about her because she thinks everything is about her, this isn’t about you either. Just warning. So this guy, I just find it doubly offensive. He already tried pushing women out of women’s spaces in boxing. Now… I would not want to buy the foundation or makeup that he is wearing because that’s going to wreck a lady’s skin. That’s going to be too heavy for your old skin. There’s no way that’s going to work on us. It’s not the same. If it’s a formula thick enough for him, we’ll break out from it. So it’s not even – there’s no cross-promotion here with this stuff. Golly.
