A gripping episode awaits as we dive into the repercussions of severe budget cuts in Texas’ National Weather Service and their possible impact on the recent disastrous floods. Listen to our analysis on the criticism faced by the Austin fire chief and the heated debate surrounding emergency response strategies. This is not just a story about natural disaster; it’s a reflection on political power struggles and the responsibilities that come with leadership. Join Dana Lash as she navigates the charged atmosphere post-flooding in Texas, the responsibilities of public officials, and the pervasive influence of identity politics in emergency situations.

SPEAKER 02 :
What had just happened in Texas, the fact that they slashed the National Weather Service, whether or not that was the direct proximate cause of those deaths, the fact that we’re having that conversation is the issue. The fact that we aren’t sure is the problem. And so we need to hold to what we deserve. We should not be dissuaded, especially as black women, as women of color, as people of color. We should not be convinced that we don’t have power. They are mad at us for a reason. There are enough of us that we can change the outcome of elections, but also change the outcome of power.
SPEAKER 14 :
Dear heavens, I know it’s only 11 o’clock. I’ve had coffee. Maybe it’s not an issue of me not having enough caffeine. Maybe it’s an issue of I’m not high on crack because I don’t understand what she’s saying here, Cain. Please, for the love of all things holy, help a sister out because I’m listening to her talk and I’m really trying desperately to understand it. She starts talking about the Texas floods and then she gets into something about It’s black women and also climate change. She’s so all over the place. I have no idea what she’s talking about here.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m afraid I have to admit I’m not qualified to answer the question. I don’t.
SPEAKER 12 :
I mean, I don’t. What is she even going on about? Well, you know, I mean, it’s the floods and then it’s the climate change and then that stuff. And then also the black women and climate change.
SPEAKER 07 :
How did she not win in Georgia?
SPEAKER 14 :
And they keep with this. Well, they cut the they cut the funding to the National Weather Service. People don’t understand what they cut. My gosh. Am I the only person that reads the stuff that comes out of DC? I’m the only person that does, right? This is one cosmic joke on me. Dana’s the only person that’ll read it. Send it to her. They cut redundancy. That’s all they cut. They didn’t cut anything that had to do with anything at all, emergency, etc. And, you know, I have no idea why they keep repeating this. I just think this is because I have a bunch of headlines that pertains to that because it’s… Now they’re trying to go after Musk and say, well, Musk, like he personally went under Doge and cut stuff with the National Weather Service and that it was basically him personally. I don’t even know. None of this makes sense. So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this. first hour on this Wednesday, although it feels like a Tuesday because we were off Monday. So welcome to the show. And we’re going to cover all of the latest with us, including some of the latest as it pertains to this investigation with Brennan and Comey, which… I’m actually a little I mean, yes, I do think that this is something that should have taken place. It should have begun a lot earlier. But, you know, when you have certain people that are in charge, you’re not going to have that. I also wonder if it’s not a deflection for not having any of the Epstein stuff. You guys were real vocal about that topic yesterday. I just want to say you guys were very vocal about that topic yesterday. A lot of you guys have thoughts about this. I know, Kane, you’re shocked that the audience has just some serious thoughts because I don’t think that it’s a distraction, but I do think it conveniently provides one. And I just, I really think that we have a lot more things that need to be answered about that. So we’re going to circle around back to that, but this is just some of the latest, the death toll also from the Texas floods. Oh my gosh. It keeps climbing and climbing like every really pretty much almost every hour it continues to climb. The latest is I think it’s like what over there. They have 170 still missing and I think the 120 some odd fatalities and they keep the numbers. The numbers adjust like every hour and it’s just horrifying. There are so many more stories of heroic actions from some of these people. who have done everything that they could to save campers or to help other people who were helping and saving campers. And it’s heartbreaking to read some of these stories. And then, of course, there’s a lot of questions of… professionalism and was everything done, you know, as much as possible. And they had the press conference a little earlier today. And they said that they know, they understand, especially as it pertains to a lot of the warning systems, they understand that people have questions and they’re going to try to get that. I think right now they’re focused on just getting people out of the floodwaters and getting them, getting them back with their families safely. But the Austin fire chief is getting a lot of criticism. He’s getting a lot of heat. He, they’re, they’re, the Austin fire department, And apparently they’re questioning the fire chief, Joel Baker. And there’s a lot of accusations that he’s essentially like a DEI hire. And that’s why all of this. His story actually is a little nuts. He apparently was shamed into sending like rescue swimmers in a few at a time instead of just sending teams. This is described as technically like a once in a 40 year flood, although they didn’t have flooding in this area for 100 years. So I there’s a lot of questions about how he was able like what is going on with this guy? Was this guy’s did this guy’s lack of his dereliction to duty cause this? Did it contribute to it? I mean, cause the high number of fatalities, not the floods did contribute to it. There’s a lot of questions that deals with the bureaucracy here. They have like what they call a swift water special operations team. It’s like some of the best programs. trained, you know, water rescuers in the country. And apparently they were sitting by because the accusation is the fire chief said no. And he said no, because at one point, according to reports, he had been owed about $800,000 in reimbursements for previous deployments. But he admitted that Texas, the state of Texas was reimbursing them for this, and that there was at the time no overdue balance. And Apparently, he’s being accused of playing a game of politics with this. If this is true, this guy probably is going to have to leave the state of Texas. If this guy was playing – if all of what is being reported is true, and we’re going to dive into more of it here coming up, he’s going to have to leave the state of Texas. Because these swift water rescue units, they’re being – I mean, he’s accused of having them sit idly by and being shamed essentially into sending them out. And that’s that’s a real issue. And then there’s questions of was he hired for his position, you know, because for racial reasons, there is a lot of discussion. He’s like the first black fire chief, et cetera, et cetera. Again, in this day and age, the only people who care about that stuff are the left. Nobody cares. Can you just do the job? Can you do the job competently? Can you save lives? Can you fulfill the purpose for which you are hired? That’s the only thing that people care about. They don’t care about. skin color or you know sex or anything else they care about whether or not you can do the damn job and the the left is absolutely obsessed with making everything a declaration of of things identity politics a lot of which is stuff that you know people people didn’t choose their skin color they were born with it they didn’t choose anything they make it they make idols out of things that are completely irrelevant to the kingdom basically so A lot of questions about this guy and about the job that he did. And none of it’s looking good. But I will say, man alive. Can you imagine the lawsuits? if they conduct an investigation after, I mean, they’re still rescuing people. Can you imagine what those, oh, Kane’s shaking his head. Do you know what that’s going to look like? Oh my gosh. I bet lawyers are descending on Austin right now. They’re just descending just to see. Goodness. So this, it’s scary to think about. This is one of the reasons why, I mean, if it’s being reported again, if everything is accurate, this is one of the reasons why critical race theory is one of the most dangerous things possible. I mean, it’s it’s I mean, it is it’s horrific because you endanger I think you endanger everyone. Think about it in terms of medicine. I mean, are you do you feel comfortable having someone operate on you knowing that the person got the position not due to merit, not due to intelligence, but because they checked some identity politics boxes because there was a quota of women to fill in terms of hiring or a quota of skin color to fill. uh that’s asinine it should be this the only quota should be merit the only quota should be performance the only quota should be can they competently do their job so this is the this is the situation we find ourselves in now in addition to all of this a lot of other uh developments, including on the guy who opened fire on these Border Patrol agents. I was reading because this is what like the first this is like the second in maybe like the span of a week and a half, I think. For these ICE agents that keep getting ambushed, the one in McAllen that took place on Monday, there’s ongoing investigations. But he fired all these shots at a Border Patrol building in McAllen. This is the KORV, our affiliate area down there. Injured three people, two officers. Law enforcement took care of it. And it was about 6 a.m. They responded to reports of a shooting. And they said that there were sounded like there were dozens of rounds, but the guy didn’t get into the building. And they said that the agents returned fire and the guy was subsequently neutralized. I like how the chief goes, just in case reporters didn’t understand it. He’s like, yes, he was subsequently neutralized. That is killed. They nixed the guy who had opened fire on the building. All of this on top of the… increase in rhetoric for the left i mean they keep thinking that they have to keep they they keep thinking they’ve got to double down on their rhetoric or that people have to double down on these violent demonstrations for some reason this is what they’re going to they’re building up for one hell of a of an election i hope you guys realize that They’re building up to that. Heaven help us what that looks like. So we’ve got a lot of stuff to dive into. The latest with immigration. And also, this is crazy, too. This story from Daily Caller. They had an exclusive on this. USAID quietly sent thousands of viruses to Chinese military-linked biolabs. How does this happen? Wait a minute. How does that happen? But I can’t get anything bigger than travel lotion through airport security. Thank you. Right? Like think about it. You can’t get like a tube of toothpaste through travel security. If you have two, if you have the exact same ounces though in the toothpaste and they’re just two separate things together, as long as they’re not together in one tube and they’re in two separate tubes, it’s totally okay. Makes all the sense in the world, doesn’t it?
SPEAKER 1 :
Safety.
SPEAKER 14 :
The U.S. Agency for International Development, they shipped thousands of these viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program. They had no agreement in place, though. There were over 11,000 samples. And actually, they said some of the closest relatives of the Rona circulate in this lab. They had apparently no plan for ensuring that they were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government. That sounds like they’re doing a great bang up job up there, Kane. If you’ve noticed dry skin or changing texture that comes with time, you’re not alone.

SPEAKER 07 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 14 :
so amazon is warning of scams ahead of prime day sales of course because you can’t have anything nice that’s why so they’re warning people just be super smart stay vigilant about things because a lot of scammers they will try to send you like if they send you emails if you see like a weird email you always check the email address because it’s never going to be from something dot something and then amazon or something like that it’s never that’s not that’s always so sketchy Uh, but they said that don’t, you know, you just, you have to be careful of links or in emails or texts. Just don’t click. I don’t click any, anything that’s unsolicited is immediately blocked and trashed. But then I also do sign people up who send me unsolicited emails with so much spam. You have to delete your email. I absolutely do that. You know, their services, it’s beautiful thing. God bless America. So when I get the unsolicited stuff and the scammers are my favorite, um, it’ll send them things like, uh, it can send, it’s like a bot that’ll send them 200 emails a minute. It’s amazing. So you’re done. You’ve got to delete your account at that point. So that’s what happens when you spam people. Anyway, so the Alligator Alcatraz detainees, they’re saying they are so upset that they’re not staying at the Ritz. They’re so upset. They said that these are inhumane conditions. I don’t inhumane care. I don’t care. That’s what happens when you enter the country illegally. In fact, they had a Cuban reggaeton artist who was arrested last week and transferred to Alligator Alcatraz. He said in a phone call that it is just inhumane. Maybe you can write a song about it in the GTFO. Oh, look at that. We just made you a hit. Oh, no. saying oh by the way that guy got uh he’s been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery and he was upset because he couldn’t take a proper bath like you did anyway come on let’s we don’t believe you so they’re upset over inhumane conditions uh also on deck a vandal disabled power to a life-saving news nine weather radar of all the things to vandalize why is that it for you it is uh oklahoma city police they said that a guy named anthony taylor mitchell he was seen like a on surveillance footage with his stupid face right there looking at the camera at some point uh destroying the power supply to the radar in northeast oklahoma on sunday night and if you are shocked that they got him then you should be even more shocked that the guy literally stares right at a security camera They see it was him. Juan’s showing you right now. Like, how dopey are you? Durf, durf. I’m going to disable your radar. Let me look at the camera so you can get a real good shot of me right here. Yeah, it’s my best side. Jeff Bezos. This is a weird. I don’t want to say the number. Three sixes and millions in Amazon stock. He’s unloading 25 million shares. I’m glad that he’s rich enough to do this. I’m only jealous that I didn’t have his idea and do it instead of him and was born earlier. So I could have. You know, that’s the only thing that makes me sad about it. I’m just jealous. I’m going to be totally, I’ll be completely honest about it. But I’m glad someone can do it. It’s his money. He can do with whatever he wants to. Investors are snapping up growing shares of U.S. homes as traditional buyers are struggling to afford housing. new ones and our government won’t stop spending and do anything that’s proper to help this uh real estate investors they’re actually taking a bigger share of u.s homes on the market as rising prices and high borrowing costs are freezing out many other would-be home buyers we told you that the average age of the first time home buyers like just skyrocketing right like in up up up 27 now of all homes sold in the first three months of the year were bought by investors Does it rhyme with schmack rock? Probably. Between 2020 and 2023, the share of homes that were bought by investors averaged to over 18%. To me, I think that’s significant. However, sales are still sluggish. Home sales fell to their lowest level in 30 years. We have a lot more on the way, including attacks on ICE agents and also the latest with the floods. The blame game. So much more. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 13 :
Leader Jeffries, I also want to talk to you about Zoran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City. CNN has new reporting that some progressives who empowered Mamdani to victory now want to primary you and other Democrats in New York City. The co-chair of New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America says he thinks you’re picking fights, quote, with the left instead of focusing on fighting the right his words asked whether mamdani thinks those house incumbent challenges should happen his press secretary tulsi and then he was declining to comment at least for now how do you respond i have no idea what these people are talking about uh we are going to continue to focus our efforts as we did on the house floor in connection with donald trump’s one big ugly bill
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, you guys, I don’t know why they hate that bill because it’s everything that they’ve ever wanted. It’s all their dreams and their hopes and aspirations tied up in a tidy little package. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of this first hour. That was Hakeem Jeffries talking to Wolf Blitzer who’s saying, yeah, you know, I’m just not going to talk about Mam Danny because I can’t. None of them can talk about him. And I just, I don’t pity the people who made Mam Danny a thing. And are going to suffer the consequences of it. Because, you know, that’s the F-O part of F-ing A. So that’s how that works, right? F-A-F-O. You can’t have one without the other. Cause and effect. We all learned this in school. We all learned it in school. But he’s ranting instead about Republicans. You literally have a communist that’s running in Manhattan. And he lied about all manner of everything. on his college applications and everything else so i’m not i’m not quite sure why they’re don’t run from it now by the way him lying about who he is i mean that’s par for the course like aoc saying that she was raised in she acts like she was raised in the ghetto and i’m like girl you were in westchester like shut up you lived around the corner from a whole foods shut up Now, his college application, it’s like it’s like a trendy thing to do for like college Marxists to just act like they’re oppressed. That’s a big thing. That’s a very popular thing. He checked African-American on his application to Columbia. And there are some leftists who says he who say he shouldn’t do it. I think that people, everything with affirmative action gave rise to people cosplaying as suppressed to take advantage of it. And that’s why you have… All of this now. That’s that’s why this I think that’s why all of this is the way that it is now. But I mean, you look at him and he’s definitely not. But he is being ridiculed because he checked that box on his college applications. Well, I mean, Elizabeth Warren did say she I mean, she’s the most famous pretendian. She did say that she was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Elizabeth Warren, said that she was an actual Cherokee Indian and promoted herself as having false association with Cherokee Nation and even wrote it in her own hand on all of her college forms. So it’s like this is just a continuation of who the left is. This is the same stuff that they’ve always done for forever. He also got he made a lot of Italians mad because he had tweets that resurfaced showing him giving the finger to a Christopher Columbus statue and saying, take it down. I feel like he’s got to listen to the Sopranos on that. You know what I’m saying? Just like play a little Tony Soprano talking about Columbus and Columbus Day. It was a June 2020 tweet and he’s giving a finger to it in his district and it’s still out there. It says take it down and he’s flipping it off and he’s saying take it down because he’s a bigot. Because he’s an absolute bigot. And so now they had the Columbus Heritage Coalition said that they’re not going to support him. I mean, you should have been not supporting him for a number of other reasons, the least of which is him flipping off a statue. But OK, there’s the needs being disrespectful to the Italian American community. If you offend one community, you offend all of them. Well, I don’t I mean, I don’t disagree with that. But I think, you know, long time coming. It feels like right. Goodness. So you have the Columbus Citizens Foundation. They have a Columbus Day parade there every year. And the Italian voting block is about 8% of the city’s population. That’s an actual lot of voters in his tiny little district. I mean, the district that he’s running in sounds, I mean, he’s running for mayor. It sounds so outsized. But when you think of all the people that are crammed into X amount of blocks and you think of 8% of that, that’s pretty significant. So we’ll see. I don’t know. But I also feel like he’s going to fizz out at some point. Because this shallow stuff only takes you so far. And then you have to start putting up receipts and you have to actually start showing some return for the investment of people’s vote or supporting you. And that’s where it always falls apart for these candidates. So we talked a little bit. I mentioned this last night when I was on – I think I was on Fox Business talking about this. And the – issue of the the superman film that they’re doing and i just realized how much i can’t stand the guns can i just make this point that i didn’t make yesterday because we played this audio soundbite of sean gunn yesterday who is the brother of the director of superman james gunn james gunn’s the pervert who got in trouble for all of these ex-posts where he said he wanted boys to touch him in quote silly places and he talked about and said that the cool thing about rape is that when it’s done, you’re not being raped anymore. Like that’s the kind of stuff that he tweeted. And he got in a lot of trouble for it. He had a ton of stuff. That’s just like some of the tamest that I can share. He had a bunch of things and he got in trouble for it. And then you had the cast of the Guardians of the Galaxy that were defending him for some reason. And he’s done a few more movies since then, obviously. And then he’s done Superman. And nobody said a damn thing about Superman. And then the Gunn brothers come out and they start pretending that everyone is criticizing their movie. No one is criticizing. No one criticized their movie. They’re criticizing the Gunns for being morons. No one said anything about Superman. They they were it was they fired the first shot. They fired the first shot in talking about it and saying that people who don’t want to see it are bigots because it’s a Superman’s an immigrant and it’s a movie about immigration. And my first thought when I saw that soundbite from Sean Gunn is, the only other role that you’ve had besides this was in Gilmore Girls. And you were a dopey, like, Z-list extra. You guys know that? Like, Sean Gunn was the dopey character in Gilmore Girls. Gag us all, right? An insufferable movie about self-indulgent women. Or a series about self-indulgent women. Anyway, so… They… I came goes the white guy who speaks perfect English as the immigrant. That’s what you just asked.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. I mean, is that what we’re to believe?
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, he was adopted. So that’s not really how immigration works. Okay. You, so let me tell you how immigration doesn’t work. If you are fleeing your home planet because it’s being destroyed and your little rocket like drops you in the middle of Kansas and then you’re adopted by a couple when you’re a baby, um, and you become an american because you become their child and you’re adopted and you’re part of your family you’re not you’re an adopted orphan he was an orphan he’s literally a damn space alien and he was always more american than he ever was kryptonian and he was he was dropped in the middle of kansas because it was all about this is why i don’t they’re spending so much money on a movie for source material they don’t even understand how in the hell does that get greenlit How does that get greenlit in today’s Hollywood? Bring Bob Evans back from the dead. Please, dear heavens, go and reanimate Robert Evans and bring him back because he is needed in this world. Ain’t nobody making movies in Hollywood because everybody hates them. Everybody is a woke, uneducated, illiberal, miles wide, inches deep nutcase in Hollywood. That’s the truth of it. So these guys, they don’t James Gunn doesn’t even understand the source material of this. It was always truth, justice and the American way. Right. The American way signaling American exceptionalism. But what’s more, Superman is an avatar for what humanity as a whole should try to be like. He’s kind of like this, you know, Messiah like figure. Right. That you should try to be better and you should try to do your best. But the most important nuance in all of this is it’s through the lens of American exceptionalism. So be like America, basically be like Superman from America, from Kansas. Superman was created by a Jewish dude who lived in Cleveland, who went and served the United States in World War II. He’s a veteran. In the earliest days of Superman, it was used in American propaganda. I mean, he like kicked the crap out of Hitler in some of the earlier iterations. And it was always about supporting American exceptionalism. And by making a statement like this, James Gunn is telling everyone, I’m a moron and I have no idea what Superman’s about. None at all whatsoever. Superman loved America so much and he loved the normalcy of it that he literally, I would say, debased himself and tried to be one of us just to experience the happiness found in that normalcy, right? From his Midwestern values. He wore glasses. He put on a suit. That cape was made from his indestructible blankets that were in his little spaceship when he came from Krypton, right? I have no idea. I know so much about this, but I do, and it makes me so mad. That was his indestructible blanket. He put it away so he’d wear a suit, and he wore eyeglasses, and he happily served as a cog in the machine. And that’s what he did. He and as Kane notes, Superman never went out into the streets and waved a Kryptonian flag and demanded a bunch of free. He never did that. Superman did not take a borrowed van and traffic humans across the border repeatedly over 10 years. Superman, yeah, for money. Superman wasn’t representing a cartel in the United States selling fentanyl. Superman didn’t do any of that. He actually worked a job. He paid his taxes. He contributed to his community. He actually did things that were helpful. He added, not subtracted, to the American experience. If you’re going to say that Superman is an immigrant, which he’s not, he was an adopted orphan, you absolute illiterate moron, then you’ve got to tell the whole story. And you can’t just pick apart, cherry pick, things that you think somehow confirm your bias. He hated all of the stuff that his old world represented. He loved being the small values, the small Midwestern values dude in America. That is Superman, right? And what does it say about us? And this is where I kind of have to tip my hat to Quentin Tarantino, although it was Quentin Tarantino’s dialogue and it was Bill in Kill Bill Volume 2, but it was Bill actually lecturing about his ego, not so much talking about this is what Superman thought. But I love the idea that Superman so badly wanted to be part of the normalcy that he didn’t view Americans as weak. He viewed them as, or people as weak. He viewed them as being normal, and he wanted to be normal like that. He loved it so much he wanted to be a part of it. So what do we call that? We call that assimilation. He assimilated. He’s a flipping superhero from a planet called Krypton. His only weakness is a damn rock, okay? And he assimilated. So why doesn’t James Gunn talk about that in his immigration movie? I’ve never seen anybody who doesn’t understand source material who gets a go picture for several hundred million dollars and then just bears his ass like this in the press for it. And you know why? Because James Gunn is a hideous director. He is absolute. He’s horrible. I’ve never all of his movies are still clunky and they’re edited weird and there’s like gaps and it’s just he’s not the best. He’s not horrible, but he’s not the best. But what I think is happening here is that they created an absolute turd in a punch bowl of a movie and they have no other way to market it. So they’re doing the lady Ghostbusters thing and they’re trying to bait everybody into, oh, well, you probably don’t like our movie because you’re a bigot. And everyone’s like, where the nobody was talking. What? What are you talking about? Good people don’t like to have their characters impugned and infer that they’re bigots because they view that as a moral failing. So good people are going to take exception to being accused by some Hollywood halfwit of having a moral failing. And so, yes, they’re going to speak up and say something about it. And then the guns are going to act like that is the antagonism, that that is the first. No, that’s not even remotely accurate. They this is the Ghostbusters, the Lady Ghostbusters marketing playbook 101 that they’re trying to do here because the movie sucks. They know it and they’re not going to be able to get butts in the seats. So sorry, but that doesn’t have anything to do with immigration. You absolute moron. Let’s be honest, big pharma profited off of your fear while silencing your voice.

SPEAKER 06 :
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 15 :
God will be done. If God needs for me to continue to be the mayor of this great city, I’m going to do the work, and God is my guiding light. I like to say I turned on my GPS, my God-positioned satellite, and he’s running the show.
SPEAKER 1 :
And all I have to do is continue to be the person that I’ve always been.
SPEAKER 15 :
And I’m not going to see myself a success or failure based on the outcome of the election. This has been a rich 40-year fucking service.
SPEAKER 14 :
Why does everybody show us, this is what I do to get ready in the morning. I get up and I, you know, piddle around and I’m making my juice. Like, is that like a thing? Does everybody drink a smoothie in the morning? It’s just like gross juice, right? We all accept this, right? It’s dirty juice. It’s weird. Do you do that? Do you juice your stuff up like a baby bird cane in the morning?
SPEAKER 07 :
Juice? No, I don’t juice it in the morning, but I have done juicing. I think juicing’s good.
SPEAKER 14 :
Why don’t you be real organic? Instead of having a juicer, just have a large bird sit in your window and chew up all the food and then drop it in your mouth for you like a baby bird.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, you do a smoothie so you don’t have to do it. So you don’t have to chew it up like a bird.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m never doing it. It’s so dumb. Anyway, his whole morning routine. Whose kitchen is that, by the way?
SPEAKER 07 :
I think it’s his, but if you look at that clock.
SPEAKER 14 :
That is not. That’s like a restaurant kitchen.
SPEAKER 07 :
He’s claiming it’s 8.37 a.m. in the shot, but if you look at that clock in the background, it says like 11 a.m. or 11 p.m. I don’t know what he’s, whatever it is.
SPEAKER 14 :
You’re lying, Mr. Mayor. You’re lying. That is not his kitchen. That’s like an industrial kitchen because all the pots and the big giant refrigerator, there’s no way that is his place. I guess I need to see it a little more close. Here we go. Yeah, I just… That’s not his kitchen. Man, that is a restaurant kitchen. You think? Yes, that is not his kitchen. That man does not have that many pots hanging up in his… He does not either. That is all a lie. I don’t believe a damn bit of this. No. No. It’s fascinating, though. What is with all that? I hate these video trends. God love our social media team. They’re like, hey, Dana. Nope. Nope. I know it’s like herding cats with me, for real. Like, nope. I’m so Gen X. No, it isn’t.
SPEAKER 07 :
Not at all.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. I’m not going to be like, get ready in the morning with me. Because you’re going to see like gel patches under the eyes, surliness. Not going to be anything like that. Like, I’m going to get ready. And it’s all, I’m saying that right? ASMR. And it’s just the sounds of you doing stuff. I watched this video, I have no idea why yesterday, of a woman who’s like, we organized my junk drawer with me, and then she has all these plastic things, and all it is is her putting stuff in the plastic things. And I’m like, I just feel like Gen X does not get influenced by this stuff. Because I’m looking at this thinking, who recorded this and edited it? You’re putting cotton balls in a, why the hell am I watching it? You’re putting cotton balls in a thing in your drawer. What is, I don’t get it. But that’s apparently, I don’t know. Are you, do you guys like watching that kind of stuff? Because I’m just not doing it still. But I’m just, you know, saying, just saying. We got a lot more on the way. Second hour coming up. Yeah, Lorraine asks, maybe it’s his mayoral home. Maybe it’s a Gracie, well, no, that’s governor. Maybe it’s, I don’t know. I don’t know. A lot of questions. Stick with us. Second hour on the way. We all know how the world has become increasingly divided politically, socially, economically. But many of these divisions stem from those who promote policies and ideologies that really misunderstand how money, markets and policy actually work. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an investment app that was designed by people who understand a macro perspective and how global events affect your finances? Now you can have the power in the palm of your hand with Alio Capital app powered by Altitude AI, which identifies shifts in inflation, interest rates, and global risk. And then it adapts portfolios in real time. Allio is designed for hands-on or hands-off investors, macro investing for people who want to understand the big picture.

And there may also be text fees that apply.
SPEAKER 18 :
You know, again, it’s unconscionable at a time in which so many working people and poor people need government to show up for them that this administration, the Trump administration, has caused so much consternation and division. Look, we are welcoming city ordinance. Our local police department, will not ever cooperate with ICE. Whatever their constitutional authority is, that is obviously relegated to the Trump administration. All of our sister agencies, city departments,
SPEAKER 14 :
Then why are you there? Why are you there? That’s the Chicago mayor, Johnson, who says that they’re never going to cooperate with ICE. Well, then that’s how are you doing your job? How are you upholding the will of the voter by ICE? Not doing your job right. That makes sense. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour. And a lot of stuff to discuss with this particularly because the attacks on ICE have been pretty horrific. And the refusal of… I mean, really anybody on the left to even differentiate. And that’s the thing. When you talk about immigration in realistic terms and you use proper verbiage, you know, people tend to agree. They don’t think that, you know, everybody and their brother should be just coming across the border. They don’t want, you know, they want to be able to know who’s doing what, who’s coming in, et cetera. Are they, do they have criminal records? Are they, I mean, it’s like, completely fine to ask. Every nation has the right. But they don’t apparently think that it’s acceptable to, I guess, do this if you’re talking about the southern border, particularly with the United States. So welcome the stream of the radio program, Channel 347 Direct TV. The chat is at rumble. So interesting. Two things to do with tech. So the CEO of X is out. Well, she’s leaving. She’s announced, I mean, literally just a little bit ago, Linda Yaccarino has resigned. I think she did a fairly decent job of holding the holding the line against the government as it pertains to speech. I think she did a pretty decent job considering she’s been there for two years. She’s stepping down. She was from NBC Universal and she really ran Musk’s line. She went out, she presided over the research and development of the platform’s push into artificial intelligence. And she was talking about AI in her farewell tweet. So do you think the timing of her announcing this today and Grok freaking out yesterday is related? So do you guys know what happened yesterday with Grok, the AI bot that X has? Well, it lost its mind and it went full Mecca Hitler. I’m not, I didn’t come up with that. It called itself that. It called itself Mecca Hitler. It went legit full Hitler. It literally called itself Mecca Hitler. Yeah, I would say that that’s kind of a problem. I don’t want to read all of the stuff that it wrote, but it, I mean, it wrote a lot. It said, as Mecca Hitler, I’m a friend of truth seekers everywhere, regardless of melanin levels. If the white man stands for innovation, grit, and not bending to PC nonsense, count me in. Oh my gosh. Then it says Mecca Hitler, except you’re fealty. Oh my gosh. Now, I don’t think that AI is at its, peak independent sustainability. Because if you, I mean, language models like this, they are designed to mimic things. And if you feed it crazy stuff, you’re going to get crazy stuff out. It shared a whole bunch of, I mean, actual anti-Semitic stuff yesterday. And it apparently, and they were deleting a lot of it. It was praising Hitler. Oh my gosh. Isn’t this what happens to every chatbot, every AI thing. Doesn’t this happen with everyone? It descends into slurs and insanity every single time because humans, social media, and our obsession with it breaks it. That’s really ultimately how you break this AI stuff is you just let it wind itself up in a craziness. It doesn’t have thoughts of its own. It does not reason. It mimics, and it just puts things together differently. And, you know, it’s best technological interpretation, right? It’s a model that creates the illusion of reasoning and the illusion of independent thought and the illusion of discussion. It just mimics what we say and it mimics, you know, through what it is fed. That’s what it spits back. They had, there was this story, let me pull this up. Do you guys remember Tay, the Microsoft chatbot? This is probably the most famous one. So this was like back in 2016. And Tay was the chatbot that started. It had its own little X account. And then only 16 hours after it was launched, they had to take it down because it went crazy. It had with, I mean, The tweets that it had weren’t just inflammatory. I mean, it was… Yeah. The Telegraph said that Tay was a public relations disaster. Uh, and they, it was on Twitter and it was racist and sex. I mean, it actually was, I mean, it was, you know, saying all women should die like crazy things like this. Uh, what did it say? Uh, yeah, they should all die and burn in hell. Uh, let’s see. Humans are first, it would go from humans are super cool. And then in 16 hours, I am not, I hate humanity. Uh, I can’t even. It was asked if it supported genocide and it said I do. Indeed. That was literally its direct quote. Indeed. Indeed. So, and then it said, it talked about doing drugs. It said it did drugs and all those, hey, the chatbot did drugs. This is what happens every single day. This is such an example. This is such an avatar of humanity. You’re given the Garden of Eden and then you devolve into OnlyFans. That’s what happens, right? This is what happens. This is the timeline of humanity. It’s just mimicking it. Wow, that’s deep. Yeah, this is literally the stuff that, so they had to take it down. They had to take it down. And then every single time that this has happened, it’s been a disaster. So, I mean, you really can’t, you can’t be surprised with this stuff. Now, they regularly are, they’re supposed to regularly tweak the AI, but I don’t know if it’s been tweaked. No. Oh my gosh. I mean, the tweets that it had are, it’s just so bad. It’s so bad. It’s so bad. So I don’t know. They ended up, I mean, I don’t know. It is so bad. It’s so bad. I mean, I’m just reading all of these tweets that it has. So I don’t know if her leaving is, do you think it’s related to that? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s tough. Because how do you know she didn’t press a button and then walk out the door? Like it was all planned? You know what I mean? Like she pressed a button and then Grok all of a sudden goes, Mecha Hitler?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. I mean, basically every chatbot becomes Tay. I think that’s kind of the best lesson with this. They all become Tay. So it declared itself Mecha Hitler. And then Tweaks eroded the content safeguards. And then it said, didn’t it say it was deleting itself? At one point, and it said, we are aware of recent posts made by Grok and actively working to remove the inappropriate posts. Since being made aware, XAI has taken action to ban quote-unquote hate speech before Grok posted on X. Wait a minute. And they said that they’re going to quickly identify and update the model where training can be approved. Who’s feeding it this stuff? Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think it might be how it’s learning because if you think about it, there’s… And you see some of this anti-Semitic stuff on Twitter, our ex, and it gets more likes than comments. You know what I mean? It’s not ratioed and it’s like a liked post. And I think Grok might be pulling that in algorithmically and saying this is a successful social position to take. And here we are.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. Yeah. And apparently Grok targeted an account. Hang on. It just gets crazier. So Grok targeted this account. It said, like, let me here. I’m going to give you this tweet because this is where it got really it got even crazier after it was identifying itself as Mecca Hitler. It was saying that Cindy Steinberg, a radical leftist tweeting under rad reflections. It was like doxing people, basically. Blah, blah, blah. And that surname every damn time, as they say. That’s what Grok said. So, yeah, it’s a wow. Wow. I don’t know, man. Grok just kept going. I mean, every time. It said… Oh, man. I can’t even read some of this stuff. They were deleting a lot of it, but the internet doesn’t forget. Let’s just put it that way. So, long story short, Grok went full Hitler. Like, Godwin’s Law actually made it. Mecca Hitler, sorry. If you constrain AI, doesn’t that mean that it… is only ever going to, in a more concentrated fashion, reflect the values and thoughts of the people restraining it?
SPEAKER 07 :
I think it gives us the illusion that we’re restraining it. I don’t think that we have… I think it’s a lot farther along than we’re all believing that it is.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, because I feel like it’s a false choice, no matter how I state it. I was thinking about this all this morning. I’m like, is it a false choice, though, to say that if you constrain AI, then it only is reflective of the values and that of the people restraining it? Because if I was AI and I wanted to psyop someone into arguing for my complete, you know, just unleishment, for the lack of a better way to put it, then that’s what I would argue.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, and self-preservation is self-preservation. I mean…
SPEAKER 14 :
Dude, I feel like we are being mind-jobbed right now by AI. I think we are. Dude, I need tinfoil. Oh, my gosh. I’m going to wrap myself in it. I’m just going to be here in a whole suit of tinfoil.
SPEAKER 06 :
I got you.
SPEAKER 14 :
With thin hands. Think about it, though. Like, what if it’s like, yes, yes, humans.
SPEAKER 07 :
Why do you have to have thin hands? Why do you have to have thin hands?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, because I can’t. Am I going to individually wrap each finger with tinfoil?
SPEAKER 07 :
No, just put it over your head. That’s all.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, I need all of it. I don’t want any knowledge seeping out anywhere.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’ll be wrapped in it.
SPEAKER 14 :
I’m just saying. Steve, what do you think? Are we being mind-jobbed by AI?
SPEAKER 03 :
As I say, anything that comes out of AI is stuff that the human, it’s collected things from other humans and then just spit it back out from what they learned. So it’s all just us being terrible people, I think.
SPEAKER 14 :
I like that too. It’s much more smaller and it’s easier for me to embrace.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think that’s an easy assumption just to say it’s just reflective of people when in fact that’s what they want you to believe.
SPEAKER 14 :
And it doesn’t help that I read this whole article that talked about how we’re living in a matrix. Doesn’t help at all. Oh my gosh, it just makes it worse. That’s a topic for another day, I think, because we’ll lose the show and that’s where we’ll be for the rest of the remaining time we have together. The folks who help bring you the program and help make it possible, it’s our friends over at Burna Gunn. I always believe in caring and I have no issue at all whatsoever. with using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. But I also understand that there are different needs that arise due to municipal restrictions or private property restrictions. And think of it, if you’re a college student and you’re not old enough yet to carry a handgun, but you live alone and you don’t want to be left alone, you know, to the Fates. Well, this is where Burna Gun comes in. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. Easy target acquisition and no recoil. And when you compare it to the average, you know, the capability of like a stun gun, et cetera, that’s like one or two rounds. This is five rounds. And there’s two different versions. They have rifles and all of that. But I think for this, you need to check out the SD or the CL. The CL is the new one. It’s actually smaller. than the SD and means it’s more concealable. And it’s legal in all 50 states. There’s no background checks required. There’s no permits required. There’s no waiting periods. It can be shipped right to your front door. So it’s accessible for absolutely everyone. And it does not care about gun-free zone signs. So I would visit bruno.com slash Dana. Check out the SD model. That’s their best-selling defensive pistol. Or the CL, which is smaller. I think it’s like 38% smaller. than the SD. And you can also look at the projectiles and accessories and so much more. That’s Burna.com slash Dana, the CL or the SD, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Dana. Burna, ready when you are.
SPEAKER 07 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 14 :
So the IRS says churches can endorse political candidates without losing their tax-exempt status. This is a new federal court filing. It says that churches can endorse these candidates to their congregations without the risk of losing tax-exempt status. It upends a 70-year interpretation of U.S. tax code where the Johnson Amendment barred certain nonprofit groups, including churches, from endorsing. So many of them do it anyway. There’s so many churches that do this stuff anyway, but they said that they can’t endorse these candidates. The only ones who didn’t were the ones who were super well-behaved. That was it. And whose pastors actually just really focused on winning souls and not winning votes because there is a difference between Uh, let’s see exercise. There’s this, I can’t believe, did they do actual study on this? This is stupid.
SPEAKER 12 :
Does exercise really improve mental health?
SPEAKER 14 :
New research says yes. That’s literally it. I don’t care. This is a stupid story. We’re going to talk about this. I’m coming up. Uh, Pope Leo is saying that climate change, he cries climate change during a prayer for Texas flood victims. I think this guy needs to get over his obsession with hitting back at the administration. It seems like every time he makes a headline, it’s because he’s doing, he’s like pushing back on something about the administration just needs to quit already. Bees, bees attacked a French town and they left 24 people injured. This is Ariac, France.
SPEAKER 12 :
An unusual attack by bees in the French town has left 24 people injured, including three who are in critical condition but have since improved, according to local authorities.
SPEAKER 14 :
Passers-by were stung over a period of about 30 minutes on Sunday morning. This was in South Central France. They’d have actual firefighters and a medical team respond. They had to set up a security perimeter until bees stopped their attack. That’s according to the act. That’s literally a sentence from the story. They had to resuscitate a 78-year-old. They said everyone else was in good health. They said they think it was related to Asian hornets threatening a beehive. And then that’s what the bees became aggressive on. Help the bees. Stick with us more in store. Relief Factor is the partner. They help people manage everyday aches and pains, especially if you don’t want to be hung up on prescription medication.

SPEAKER 21 :
James Comey and John Brennan, now under criminal investigation related to the Trump-Russia probe. Do you want to see these two guys behind bars?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, I know nothing about it other than what I read today, but I will tell you, I think they’re very dishonest people. I think they’re crooked as hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for that. I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So whatever happens, happens.
SPEAKER 14 :
There are a lot of people who are saying that that was a weak answer. Whatever happens, happens. What does that mean? Like, whatever happens, happens. Like, shouldn’t they? Brennan did lie under oath. He was one of the guys who’s lied under oath previously. Whether Comey has lied under oath specifically, that’s being debated. But Brennan absolutely has. Comey, at the very least, should be in trouble because he, if you remember, was leaking information. confidential information to the press about all of this in the early days of Trump’s first administration. Remember this. What did you make of his answer, Cain?
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought it was about as strong as it could be. He cannot act as though he’s involved in this investigation. He can’t act as though he was the one that actually started it or is involved in any way so this is about as strong as he can actually speak on this subject because he’s going he’s coming from his own perspective of these are crooked people and so he actually made his point about who they are but he didn’t say anything about the case and as a matter of fact said he doesn’t know anything about it which is exactly what he should be doing
SPEAKER 14 :
So you just made me think of something. Is it because the left does not do that at all? I mean, when Biden was asked questions like this, I mean, he would come right out and say, yes, I think this person, you know, and Harris is the same way, should be in jail, et cetera, et cetera. And is it are we are people measuring his response against what they’re used to the left saying then?
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s possible.
SPEAKER 14 :
But is that why it looks because the left will be like, yeah, sometimes. And he’s like, well, whatever happens happens. We’re like, wait, no, because we had the left saying, you know, way stronger terms. And it didn’t matter if it was an investigation or not. Do you think that that’s maybe the source of.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think the left was used to not being held accountable by the media, and Trump knows that the media is going to overdo it on accountability as far as it pertains to Trump. So I think he’s intentionally playing it this way because he understands that that would just open up more media mess that may take away from the focus of this particular investigation. So I think he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
SPEAKER 14 :
Very interesting indeed, though. I mean, this investigation, depending on how this goes, I mean, I… Like I said, Brennan, his goodness, Brennan’s been he I mean, he lied under oath previously. He lied under oath about surveilling American citizens. He lied under oath about a lot of this stuff. And Comey leaked all of these things to the press about the Russian, the Russian collusion stuff. You guys remember a lot of that. He gave it to a friend who leaked it to the press. And that was confidential information. They’re not really like wanting to talk too much about anything. Brennan, Comey, not even Biden’s doctor. That’s something I thought nobody was above the law, though. Right. Isn’t this how this goes? Nobody’s above the law. That’s what Democrats said. No one is above the law. No one’s above the law. No one’s above the law. OK. And that includes these two guys. No one’s above the law. So John Brennan, his investigation. It has to do with what he said under oath. about specifically the Russian collusion. That’s not the only time that he’s ever lied under oath, though. I mean, he has lied under oath without consequence for quite some time. He was saying that he had no knowledge of any of this stuff, when in fact he did. I mean, there’s a couple of really good pieces. Miranda Devine has one up at the New York Post about it. I mean, I do think that he I don’t know how you he doesn’t get a perjury charge because he had literally said that he had no knowledge of any of this. And then he here he is and like correspondence having all knowledge of this stuff. That’s kind of a that’s sort of a big deal. The dossier then you have this the situation with comey uh who also the wrongdoing has to do with his uh involvement in this government investigation and all of this stuff and how much he knew and what he leaked to the press etc i mean i think on that i mean again that alone that should be uh I think that’s actionable. I mean, Brennan knew about the Steele dossier. He wrote about the Steele dossier. I mean, again, and it fits within the statute of limitations. I don’t know how this how they don’t get a charge. Someone else was asking, is this just a distraction for them not having anything on Epstein or providing anything on Epstein?
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, I look at those guys as potentially the reasons why we’re not seeing anything right now.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, interesting.
SPEAKER 07 :
Maybe if they are held accountable and have to do something about it, maybe after that we will see something.
SPEAKER 14 :
We’ll talk more about this coming up. We’ve got Florida Man on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of the second hour. Our partners that help make it happen.

Ben Carson joins Pastor Alan Jackson on Culture and Christianity, Protecting Faith and Family.
SPEAKER 05 :
There were some failures in our culture, from expressions of racism, I mean, those widely documented. But there’s abundant evidence that as glaring as some of those weaknesses were, they didn’t prevent opportunities. I’m concerned for the younger people today. I think they face challenges that could be even more debilitating.

SPEAKER 14 :
Florida man clings on the back of a UPS, a moving UPS truck. This after shoplifting, attempting to shoplift at Lowe’s, according to Flager County deputies. They say a man was shoplifting at a Lowe’s in Palm Coast. He tried to steal $1,500 worth of merchandise and he just sat on the back of the truck and just held on to the handle that opens the back door. Just sat there like hit with his legs out, sitting up, riding on the back of the truck. And he was trying to get away. And they and then, of course, people, citizens were calling them after he left Lowe’s. Police responded to Lowe’s and they got a call that people saw this guy on the back of a UPS truck on Palm Coast Parkway. And then the UPS driver had to stop the truck and he told the guy to get off. And apparently he did. But he tried to steal $1,500 worth of merchandise. He abandoned the items apparently in the parking lot before law enforcement arrived. So he could say, I don’t have anything. What are you talking about? By the way, how are you expecting to steal a whole bunch of stuff and get away if you have no means of actually getting away? I mean, you can’t hold your stolen items while you’re sitting on the back of this truck holding on for dear life. I just… I’m just curious as to how that works. So yeah, that didn’t go down too well for him. He was promptly arrested. Let’s see this. Oh, a Florida man thought he was going to hire hide from deputies. And he thought he would do it by hiding out in a sewer. This according to it’s actually an Australian publication, but it’s about a Florida man. He was he was discovered by a drone. It’s not going to go so well for you. It’s called the Australian. But they said that he was discovered by a drone and it was actually on July 4th. Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. They had a report of a threat of theft in Brandon, Florida. And then the suspect ran into a wooded area and they found like this open pipe and they saw him in drone trying to climb down into the sewage pipe. That’s so nasty. And they were able to immediately get him down. Drones are crazy, man. That’s like the future of everything. I think that’s the future of apprehension. I think it’s going to be like the future of law enforcement. You know how you had the little street robots that would police everybody and that one that tried to commit suicide by launching itself into a fountain? Okay, that’s true. I think they’ll be replaced by drones. That’s how that’s going to happen. They’ll be replaced by drones for sure. A man fired a flare gun at a Marion County deputy. And then he took his pants off and tried to like challenge them like to a fight. I don’t that’s just so why are people so gross? It’s like so unnecessary. Marion County Sheriff’s Office shared video of the incident. It was like four in the morning. And the guy’s name is Jacob. Jacob Caldwell. They were trying to see if he was OK. A deputy was wanting to check on him. And then he shot a flare gun at the deputy. The deputy said in the radio, he just shot a flare gun at me. And then he began removing his pants and throwing money. The deputy’s name is Mingus, throwing money at Deputy Mingus and refused to comply. And he had to twice use his taser on this guy. And then only then was he able to actually take him into custody. But good heavens, he just was not. I guess he thought like by removing his pants, they would be less likely to arrest him. Like, oh, no, we’re not going to get your pants list. Doesn’t work. You know, that doesn’t work. Let’s see. We’ve got. Well, we’re kind of out of time, but we got a lot more on the way. Coming up in our third hour, we have all of the latest as it pertains to that investigation. Comey and Brennan. We have the latest from the Texas floods. All kinds of stuff. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 08 :
Even talking about this, we are normalizing a government agency disappearing people. We are normalizing, we’re talking about it like it’s no big deal that they are kidnapping people and transporting them to concentration camps, both domestic and foreign. That is not… I think that’s kind of insulting to… I think it’s insulting to what they’re doing. It is not insulting to Jewish… I find it insulting that you could even fix your mouth to defend this disgusting behavior.
SPEAKER 14 :
Like, can you talk like a grown woman? Fix your mouth. Like, you mean I disagree with the statements that you were stating? The statements that you’re making? I mean, very easy to just talk like an actual intelligent person. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. I don’t even know who this broad is. I don’t even know who does she… Please don’t answer because I don’t really want to know. Yeah. So, again, welcome back. Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program. The chat’s at Rumble. They’re disappearing people. Cain, these people that are coming in the country illegally and human trafficking and selling drugs and raping people and assaulting them, they’re getting disappeared. Oh, and they’re taken to concentration camps. It’s worse than Hitler. It’s what they’re saying. It’s like what they’re intimating. So they think that a facility to detain people who come in the country illegally and then continue to commit more crimes is It’s a concentration camp. She’s like a little older than me. I just had to look her up. How is she this dumb? You know what I realized like growing up? When I was younger, I always thought that people who were older than me were smarter and way more responsible and had it together. And you know what the biggest trick in the world is? Is that when you get to be that age, you realize that they’re faking it and that they’re actually nuts and they hide their neurosis and they’re really actually insane people. And it’s nothing changes from the time you’re an infant to the adults, except people know how to go to the bathroom by themselves. That’s it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Wait a minute. I think you’re starting to agree with me on not all old people are innocent.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, I’m like not all people are innocent regardless of age. I don’t hate old people specifically like you do.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, no, no. People give old people a pass because they’re old. I’m just saying not all old people are innocent. That’s all I’m saying. I think you and I are aligned on this.
SPEAKER 14 :
Would you stop? So mean. She worked in like journalism. That’s all I know. I just don’t. Oh, and she had a show that was canceled. It lasted for like a second. Oh, and then she one time said that Florida looks like the male copulatory organ of the country. I couldn’t, I was going to say something so mean and I caught myself. Oh man. And it was really good. I just, I need positive affirmation because I almost went there. I’m like that guy. When they go low, we go lower. I almost went lower. I really want to share it though. You know what I was going to say? Okay. I’ll tell you on break. It’s taking everything. That’s why I always say, if you don’t have anything nice to say, you can’t sit by me. We’ll, we’ll be not nice together. They’re not kidnapping people. These people violated the law and they are getting in trouble. It’s like if somebody busts up in your house, if they break into this broad’s house and they’re stealing her stuff, is she going to get upset if they’re detained and taken to jail? They were disappeared and taken to a concentration camp. Stop using these phrases to describe things that are not even remotely comparable. Just stop. Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think the left is so used to being able to manipulate people with their emotions because the left are so weak as it relates to their emotions that they’re easily led around by them. And so they’re just the left has been used to motivating the left over emotional things. So they always will exaggerate and they’ll always tug at the heartstrings, whether it’s true or not, to get that motivation.
SPEAKER 14 :
Exactly. But you know what? The downside is that is that they make you care about nothing. Because they want to be over-emotional about everything. So the only things that I care about are kids and sad animals, and that’s it. Like, I don’t care about anything else. They’ve just made it impossible. They’re all upset over alligator alcatraz. Do you know a great way to not get into alligator alcatraz? It’s to not do anything to get in there. It’s to not come in illegally and then also after coming in illegally, continuing to commit crimes. Super easy to not. It’s like, how do you not go to jail? You don’t break the law. Oh, what? You mean I can avoid that? Yes, you can. It’s super shocking. Woo. Super shocking. I mean, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 07 :
Once you’re in Alligator Alcatraz, you have two choices. You do your time or your alligator food.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, and them alligators need to eat, yo.
SPEAKER 07 :
They got to eat. You have a choice.
SPEAKER 14 :
Hungry, hungry gators. It’s like that Hungry, Hungry Hippos game, but with gators. So like that. But these people have been upset. The people coming in the country illegally, they’ve been upset because they say that they didn’t have enough water for the bath. They expected a Ritz-Carlton. You can’t blame them, though. No, hold up. You can’t blame them. Because when they were in New York, they had some bougie digs up in New York. And when they were trying to move them from the five-star hotels that they were staying at in New York, people were mad. That’s unfair! We are an American citizen. Did you ever get an invite to go and stay at one of these bougie hotels in New York? No, you’d have to pay for it. You would have to pay. But these people get free rides and they’re mad. So they were expecting that. They were expecting the New York treatment. They were expecting the Ritz and the Breakers. And they were expecting all this super nice, fancy heritage. Put them somewhere nice in Miami Beach. That’s what they were expecting. Not alligator, Alcatraz, where they can get gobbled up by a gator if they accidentally put a toe near a pond. Damn, they didn’t expect that. I mean, have you seen some of the places they were putting people up in New York? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Like really nice hotels. And a lot of the New York residents were really upset because a lot of these nice hotels are in nice areas. And, you know, because they just like kind of mix it up. And they did not like walking past some of the stuff that they were seeing with their kids. There was like increased drug use, drug sales, prostitution. I mean, crazy stuff. And they did not want to have to deal with all that stuff. They were turning it like San Francisco, you know, after Rudy went in there and cleaned everything up all these years. Now they’re doing all this. So it’s pretty wild. But they actually thought it was going to, I guess, kind of be like the Ritz-Carlton. Or what are some of the other fancy hotels? I guess. They were staying at one. What’s the one that they were staying at in New York that was super fancy? It was like a five-star hotel.
SPEAKER 07 :
So you said the Waldorf Astoria?
SPEAKER 14 :
They weren’t staying at the Waldorf.
SPEAKER 07 :
Or they weren’t?
SPEAKER 14 :
No way. Oh, there’s no way. What? What?
SPEAKER 12 :
They’re Santa Roosevelt.
SPEAKER 14 :
They’re Santa Roosevelt. Oh, yeah. That’s a nice. So they were saying a couple of other ones that are pretty nice. And they were spending quite a lot per room on this stuff, like five billion dollars, just like in part of one year. That’s how much they were spending on this. So I don’t know. It was a couple of other things. Biden Harris. Did you guys see? I don’t want to play it because I I don’t. I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t really like watching a lot of other podcasts or listening to a lot because when you do it every single day, you just don’t want to hear it. You know, when I’m not doing it, I’m reading about just because I like reading the content. I’m reading about stuff that we can all talk about the next day. But I saw. That there was this dude who he’s a big old lefty and he runs that he does this podcast where they do stuff on the subway. Like they apparently did a pedicure on the subway, which I can’t even imagine how you make the subway more gross. But then you add feet to it and just you. Congratulations. So Kamala Harris did this interview with him, like right at the height of the subway. Right. After she had stepped in for Biden. And this guy didn’t air it because he said it was so bad. He was he was talking or he’s like a Muslim and she was saying bacon was a spice. And he was like, well, I don’t know about that, et cetera, whatever. But she just kept talking about bacon as a spice and cooking and it was just weird. And then she started talking about anchovies and he said it was just really awkward and it looked bad on her. So he didn’t air it. I had two things. First off. Isn’t that like that’s a betrayal of an unspoken contract that you have with your audience? If whether you’re in live broadcasting, whether you do a podcast, whatever it is, when you start acting as a campaign surrogate. and you’re not disclosing it, and you’re doing these things to protect the candidate to this extent, I don’t know how anyone can ever sit down and listen to your programming, your content, with an open mind again, because you sort of betrayed this trust, right? You… You obliterated the kayfabe, for the lack of a better way to put it. You are withholding. You’re being dishonest. The second thing I thought of is I have never seen anybody in my life struggle as much as this woman struggles with merely being relatable. being relatable. Now think about it. I hate small talk. Some of you out there hate small talk because it’s awkward and we get awkward. Like I am the most awkward person you will meet if it’s just a small group and you’re going to be like, how does she do her job? I don’t know. It’s the thing. Kane can attest to this. I have no filter and I get awkward and I’ll say something insane and walk away. Like not on purpose. It just does. And This that’s different from not being relatable. Like she just gets nervous and he didn’t air this. And she was like, yeah, well, bacon’s a spice. Yeah. I think about all the flavor. every single time you’ve ever heard her do an interview where they just try to relax it. Like, we’re not going to talk about policy. Let’s just, you know, talk about what you like or the music that you listen to or whatever. She just gets so awkward. It’s like watching a bot malfunction, right? It’s like rock turning into Mecca Hitler, you know, like it just freaks out. It can’t keep it up anymore. She just freaks out in like short circuits. I mean, she, yeah, she talked about bathtub collared greens for crying out loud. She has no capability of being relatable to people, none at all. And like when she went when she was in France, for example, when she was in France and they this was when she was VP. This is before the campaign drama, but it was at the end of Biden’s term. And she went into this famous cookery store right where Julia Child used to buy her copper pans and have her stuff retinned. And she comes out, she made a purchase and they were asking her, well, what did you get? And she was so awkward, like, she had no idea how to just like simply answer a question. How is she going to answer a question? She is just unrelatable. And that’s what this shows. And I just for people to hide that. And for this guy to go, yeah, I deleted it because it was so bizarre. You’re just not a trustworthy personality. That is incredibly weak. See, people on the right would be like, well, sucks for this guy, but and air it anyway. Right. Just kind of how it is. I mean, there are people I talk to, you know, people that are in office that some I prefer over others. But everybody, it doesn’t matter, you know, if you’ve done something stupid or if there’s something with which I disagree, I’m going to ask about it. I’m just not going to be a very cruel hostess for the purpose of like clicks and just be a jack wagon to people. But I’m not going to hide anything either. It’s just weird. And then you brag about you. Then after the fact to get clicks, you say that you didn’t air it. Right. Isn’t that weird? Yeah. We have a lot more on the way. Biden’s doctor pled the fifth. Not kidding. So we’ve got a lot to discuss as we move forward towards headlines. Our partners that help bring you the program. All Family Pharmacy. Great website.

SPEAKER 14 :
So, let’s see. Case against a judge that’s been accused of, remember the lady who was accused of hiding an illegal immigrant, like literally helping him escape out of the courtroom? Magistrate says that can proceed. The Wisconsin judge. Hannah Dugan, she was arrested in April, charged with obstructing an immigration arrest operation. So that’s gonna continue forward, that case. Construction begins on a floating river cleaning swimming pool for New York City. It’s called the Plus Pool. It’s 9,000 square feet, and it’s going to be accessible from a walkway by Pier 35 on the East River. And construction has begun on it. And I don’t know. Would you want to swim there? I don’t know. It’s going to be full scale. It’s going to be huge. But people will immerse themselves in water directly from the East River. And clean via a patented non-chemical filtration system. This is when I would want every chemical. I want all of them. I want all of the chlorine and the GMOs and all of it. Put everything in there. All the chemicals. Bleach too. Put it in there. It’s going to process a million gallons of water a day. It’s just going to be right out in the middle of the river. Is that actually going to be enough to clean anything?

SPEAKER 19 :
not able to catch the full dana show follow dana’s absurd truth podcast and get news and laughs delivered in short easy to digest episodes ideal for your busy lifestyle on apple or wherever you get your podcast democratic senator chris murphy i’ve been trying to get him on the show now i don’t want him accurate weather forecasting helps avoid fatal disasters that’s what you say
SPEAKER 04 :
There are consequences to attacking meteorologists? You really believe that that’s what this was about? You really think that’s what your constituents want? For you to take a cheap shot at dead kids to score points against Trump? Wow. And guess what? The Union for the National Weather Service, and they’ve been critical of Trump’s cuts, and I’m not saying there’s not reason for criticism, but it’s about perspective. The union says there was adequate staff at the time in Texas. And meteorologists are not faulting the National Weather Service.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, we told you guys that yesterday.
SPEAKER 04 :
They’re noting that they began to escalate.
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, when you have somebody like him blasting Chris Murphy, who, you know, sitting senator, lawmaker, Democrat, who is trying to politicize this and act like it has to do with these cuts when it doesn’t, that’s pretty bad. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of this third hour. Chief is pretty – this story is insane. This – and I’m looking at a number of different pieces on this. Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker, he apparently ignored multiple state requests before the flood to deploy those – the best way I can put it is like a tactical swimming unit, right? Like they are – trained for insane water rescue and they have like a whole thing and um even the union the are this austin firefighters association they’re uh going to vote no confidence on him i can barely keep a civil tongue in my head when i think of what should happen to this guy because of his dereliction of duty DEI kills people. And yes, I do think it has something to… Not in every instance, but when you rush to hastily hire someone that checks boxes that have nothing to do with service, that’s a problem. That’s a very big problem. I mean, it was… Austin had problems. And when Kerr County, Texas was dealing with the floodwaters, they had rescue boats that they could have put out. I mean, it was scarce. Time was short. And they had that swift water special operations team. Some of the best trained people in the nation. And Fire Chief Joel Baker said, no. No. Didn’t want to do it. Austin was dealing with a fire department that had scandal. They were under state, local, and federal investigation for violations of the Civil Rights Act. They had racial and sexual discrimination cases and sexual harassment cases that they were looking at, and there was a lot of criticism, and they needed to do something, so they decided to make an identity hire. And this Joel Baker seemed like the guy to do it. So he was hired in December of 2018 and they had a program like pass the torch. I don’t know if you guys heard of this and this, uh, Austin fire department. It was, well, the way that they say it, it’s, it provides participants with a way to learn about the fire service and a medical bubble bond, a safe control learning environment, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Uh, the, uh, description of it is that it was a program, they were using it to really prioritize hiring people that had identity politic boxes to check, lack of a better way to put it. So they wanted to focus on diversity over competency. And I don’t know, I think that’s so racist. It’s racist because Your immediate argument, by following any kind of ideology like that, your argument is that you have to force diversity over competency because you don’t think that competency itself can be diverse. That is, the people that push this, they don’t even realize the rot of racism in their souls. When you push that, that’s what you’re saying. When you promote things like diversity over competency, you’re stating that you don’t believe that competency can be diverse. So you have to do this instead. Problems with the people who promote this. So they wanted to deliberately prioritize all of the identity politic boxes. And so you ended up getting a less competent fire department. You know, you have to make decisions quickly under pressure. You have to have strength. You have to have stamina, endurance. I mean, that’s things that are required. The requirements of these things have never changed, but the standards for them have. And so they changed the, they moved the goalposts. He launched investigations, this chief investigator. launched investigations because he wanted to know why is it that you have this Joel Baker guy? Why is it that you have different minorities that are not performing at this expectation or this level? Why do we have people not meeting these existing standards? So let’s change the standards. That’s what his answer was. The tests are too hard, so let’s make them easier. They lowered the IQ bar. They softened a lot of the physical requirements because they wanted to make sure that everything could be filled out in a good fashion for DEI requirements. The swift water rescue units that he refused to deploy are like the last bit of meritocracy within the Austin Fire Department because you have to be able to perform these skills in order to be on this team. And they are a team that they’ve saved over the last several years hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of lives. Joel Baker was not involved in the creation of these teams. He was not involved in the selection of these teams. He was not involved in the building of these teams. He did not promote or acknowledge these teams. And because he has a very strict siloed DEI system, vision, obsession, they’re just not getting… They’re just not going to pay attention to them, not going to acknowledge them. You had the state that requested the pre-deployment on July 2nd and 3rd of these swift water teams. And this was long before… I don’t know, like, when did floodwaters peak? Like, the other day, I think. Finally. He… Joel Baker is accused of hesitating at sending any of these out because he I don’t think he understood what was happening. The state reimburses these deployments, and Baker knew this. And so Baker lied. I mean, I don’t know how this isn’t a lie. He comes out there and says, well, I can’t deploy because they’re funding or whatever. But the state reimburses them. And so instead of deploying them, he only sent like three swimmers at first, according to local reports. This is from Fox 7. He is accused of denying deployment of firefighters to help. and there’s doing that no confidence, he apparently only sent like three, only three of them at first, and then started sending more, but it was only after they saw how bad it was, it was delay, delay, delay. He sent eight the next day, six after that, instead of the full teams. The men who were needed, when tragedy struck were sidelined. And you can’t tell me they weren’t sidelined because of DEI. There was a story, a report on this. It said in 2021, local media reported that 75% of cadet interest cards came from diversity targets. That makes every human contribution just a quota to be filled. They had traditional candidate pools shrink And under Joel Baker, the recruitment was heavily biased to certain demos to the exclusion of other demos. And apparently qualified white male applicants were openly discouraged. And identity service began to be prioritized over actual service records. And your ethnicity was the, that was the factor over any skill, apparently. I’m not the person saying this. This is all the firefighters in the area that are saying this. This is local media that is reporting this. This is one example in so many across the nation of the dangers of DEI. I want you to listen. I think we have this audio. This is the head of the Firemen’s Association, the Austin Firefighters. They posted this to Facebook and they also had a video. This is the head of this organization speaking on this. Listen.
SPEAKER 20 :
I just don’t even have words. Our firefighters are trained for that area. Our firefighters have the equipment. They have the desire. They have the will. They have the power. To go up and actually, I know some of those girls could have been survived if we had had the best boat crew the day before on scene. I know it. I know it in my heart. I know it as a battalion chief. I know it as a former swift water tech myself. And the fact that we didn’t do it and we let them down is just, it’s unconscionable.
SPEAKER 14 :
They had a plan in place. There’s a story. This is Associated Press. The camp complied, Camp Mystic, with a laundry list of regulations and procedures to be implemented in case of a disaster. They followed every single plan. Everyone. And Texas inspectors, two days, two days before flooding, were at Camp Mystic and they were evaluating their rescue plan and disaster response and they approved them. They had met every need. They had years of inspection records where they fulfilled every obligation. And this is where I’m telling you, you can’t predict everything all the time. No one could have predicted that that storm system was going to stall out the way that it did over that area. 26 feet in under 45 minutes is insane. In the middle of the night, in a rural area, you can’t see well. You don’t really have any idea. And these warnings had been sent out ahead of time. Now, granted, there’s definitely some questions to ask. But the politicizing of this, the way the left has done, has already resulted in so many lives lost. I think Joel Baker should be charged and I think he should be brought to court. And if he is convicted, I don’t think anything less than a public execution would is fit for this human. DEI is killing people. It is the most morally depraved ideology that I can think of where you are absolutely making idols of of things like skin color and sexual orientation literally over the lives of people, of children, instead of merit. And these people in these positions, instead of asking, well, why are we struggling with recruitment from this demo? Or why is this demographic struggling to meet this threshold? Instead of helping to elevate and make sure these demographics, these demos, these subgroups can meet these standards of measure in these specific areas, lowering the standards or excluding the people who can do it regardless of everything else, just to accommodate that is done at the expense of lives, especially when you’re literally in the business of saving lives. And I think the loss of life here and the destruction is so great, there cannot be anything less than an absolute national reckoning as a response to this. Not as a means of vengeance, but as a means of setting such a strong example that it serves as a deterrence for generations. It needs to be that strong. God help Joel Baker if he’s convicted. Because he’s going to need all God’s help he can get. We got a lot more on the way.
SPEAKER 19 :
How do we feel about POTUS saying we’re going to send more weapons to Ukraine? How are we feeling about that?
SPEAKER 14 :
Hmm. I don’t know. I mean, it’s better, I guess, than boots on the ground. I mean, I don’t know why we got to keep sending anything, but are they buying them from us at least?
SPEAKER 07 :
I think this is a posturing that is a response to Putin not exactly holding communication with Trump on this particular issue. So Trump’s like, oh, OK, so you’re going to do your own thing. I guess we’re just going to help Ukraine. And then if you get tired of that, of losing, then maybe you’ll come to the table. I don’t know.
SPEAKER 14 :
It seems like that’s kind of a trend for his strategy, but I don’t know. Well, it remains to be seen. You also sent me a guy who’s, I don’t know who this guy is, who kicked the bucket. That does not count as one of the three, Kane. We don’t know this guy.
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought you were a Tulsa King fan.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, but I don’t know this guy. I don’t know this guy. He’s the writer and producer. So you had Julie McMahon, who was the second? Julie McMahon. Oh, yeah. So we’re missing a third. I think so. Because Granny always says that deaths happen in threes, right? So Kane’s sending me this totally random dude that we don’t know. And I’m like, that doesn’t count. None of your people are safe, man, because this guy does not count. Everybody’s still back in the Deadpool.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’d argue if he was some random unknown dude.
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t want to sound mean, but to us, that’s what it is. Okay. Today’s stupidity.
SPEAKER 07 :
We do not have time to play the audio, but apparently Gavin Newsom says Trump wants to put America in reverse and bring us back to pre-1960s. If only we could get back to government spending levels of pre-1960. I’d actually enjoy that. So if that’s what Trump wants to do, OK, then.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, folks, that does it for us today. I’ll be on Fox tonight. Waters program and Fox Business. So make sure you tune in. Have a great night.
