SPEAKER 11 :
That was just one of the longer cuts of the memorial that was yesterday. As you can tell, I don’t really have a voice today. the show must go on. The bosses demand it. So we, uh, we’re going to play. We, I mean, we’ve got some, we’ve got a lot of stuff to get into, but you’ll have to forgive me cause I’m on four hours of sleep. Uh, I’m exhausted and I don’t have a crew. Like I have two people in here. So we’re, we’re, it’s a little bit jumbly today. So we, uh, it’s been a lot, it’s been a lot the past couple of days. So that’s where we are. So if, um, If my voice peters out, hopefully it’ll last the show, but we’ll see. So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of this first hour. A number of things to get into. But first and foremost, the memorial that took place yesterday, it was in Arizona. And it was very pretty. It was packed. Excuse me. All of the… All of the… stories that you heard about the lines and everything else is all true. I mean, the lines were crazy. It was unlike anything I think I’ve ever seen before. And it was so… I mean, I’ve been to Tea Party rallies all over the country. I’ve been to different presidential events, debates. things of that nature. And I’ve never been to anything where I’ve seen so many people like this. It’s just all for the same purpose and all very Christian-driven. I mean, obviously, it was like a giant worship service. It was just pretty amazing. And then, of course, to hear Erica Kirk forgive her killer, which we’re going to talk about more in depth. But it was just unlike anything that I’ve ever seen before. And With that, so many young people… There were so many young people. It was… Pretty amazing. That’s all I mean what else just I mean my voice my voice is about to drop So I’m just we’re we’re gonna pray that we can last through the show because it may it may not happen Well, we’ll just have to like chirp from the mic just I’ll do we’ll do Morse code. We’ll do that and finish the finish the broadcast, but I’ve just never seen anything like it when we first got there and And because you can only you can pull through. We were able to pull through and park when we first got in there. It was people had been lined up. I think 345 is when some of the first people began getting there at like three, something like 345 a.m. It was just pretty unbelievable. And then the lines already at 5 a.m. They said it was the audience was the equivalent of like three Super Bowls. And they I didn’t even know that there was a hockey stadium that was across the way. And then they put a bunch of people on the hockey state. It was crazy. That’s how many people showed up. And I think that’s incredibly important because if they showed up to thinking it was just going to be just a political rally. I mean, it was literally the first because it was a long day, guys. It was a very long day. Everybody started getting there between eight and nine o’clock in the morning. And then it went to like four o’clock. And then everybody was racing to airports and you had storms blowing through that delayed everything. So it was a very long day. But the reason I bring up the crowd number and the number of people that were showing up is because it was like one of the largest worship services. I think it was the largest worship service I’ve ever seen. And I don’t know, like I said, if they were expecting to have a political rally or whatever it was, but… And it was I know some people are trying to make it out like that, but it wasn’t just because Trump spoke at it doesn’t make it a political rally. You know, it was a celebration of Charlie’s life and it was things that Charlie liked. And, you know, they had the like the little firework things that went off on stage. They did that because he loved that. And that’s what Andrew Colvette had said, who’s the spokesperson for TPUSA. They incorporated that because he and I were actually remember him telling me in ahead of I think it was the TP turning point women’s event. And he was saying, yeah, we got these great, you know, we’re going to start we’re going to get into pyro. And he was very, very excited about those. And he and I remember talking with him backstage at an event. and I complimented him on the fact that he didn’t burn the stage down. And he said, oh, it’s so great. And he was like, I wish I could put more up there. I mean, he loved it. He just loved the, he thought it looked like the 4th of July. Like it was the most celebratory thing that you could do. And so that’s why they had those on the stage for when his widow came out and when POTUS came out and the VP, et cetera, because that was one of the things that he liked. He, it was like the 4th of July. It was like a celebration and it was a celebration of his life. So I think there’s, you know, a couple of things to address in terms of some of the responses to it. But I just, the people that went there, I don’t know if they were anticipating having, you know, like a three-hour worship service before the remembrances began. I don’t know if that’s what they were thinking, but that’s what they got. And it was just pretty, it was just wild. It was just wild. Absolutely wild. The… Service, we went out and when we got there and everybody was so, you know, just so nice. When we got there, they went in and they were giving out free water and all this stuff. They thought of everything. But they had like some of the most. amazing. They had Carrie Jobe, who was up there also. We walked in and I thought they were playing a music track. Oh my gosh, she literally is up there on stage. And then they had a bunch of really well-known Christian singers that I don’t know how they were able to get all these people together in seven days. This was described as a tier one event, a level one event, meaning that of level one events, the only things that are kind of similar are you know, if you’ve got the inauguration, if you’ve got, uh, you know, some of the debates between presidential candidates, things like that. I mean, it, so the security was, was awesome and off the charts and needed considering, but, um, I just couldn’t believe that they got it together in seven days. I mean, it makes me feel like the things that I take forever to do and they’re a little, they’re infinitesimal considering it just, you know, I’m like, golly, of course they have a whole team of people that are so good at it. And, uh, The, on the inside, getting inside and as everybody filled in and as everybody was singing. There were people who, like I said, who showed up with the intent, like it was going to be, you know, like a political thing maybe. And then they ended up finding themselves worshiping. And then there were a number of people towards the end. At one point, people who had not yet been baptized were asked, you know, to stay, not in a judgmental way, but so that other believers could like pray with them, things like that. It was pretty amazing. And I just imagine, like, you know, how many other people were saved at that event just, you know, because that’s what Charlie would have wanted and what they would have had it designed as. So it was just fascinating. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. And I saw a lot of people you know there, a lot of the folks that… Or on TV that you might, you know, watch with podcasts, things of that nature. A lot of really good folks. And everybody kind of had that because everybody knew him. Everybody had the same response. It was just very, you know, you walk up to each other and you just give a hug. Although I saw Glenn Beck. God love him. He’s like, he’s such an emotional teddy bear. He saw me and we hugged and he was just blubbering. God love him. He just blubbering. He just bawling. He is. He’s an emotional teddy bear. That man cries like I’ve never seen a woman cry as hard as that man cries. He wins. He wins, ladies. Sit down. But it was just wild. Just, I’ve never seen an event like it. And then at one point, here’s the other thing. We were like four rows behind Elon Musk. Elon Musk is sitting there at a worship service for two hours. Let’s just be real about it. Elon Musk was sitting there while people were praying and singing worship songs for two hours. Now, if you ever have an opportunity to witness to the world’s richest man who literally can help determine the outcome of elections, don’t you think that this was a good thing? Exactly. There were a lot of things at play here. And then at one point I saw Secret Service come down and then they escorted him up to the box where POTUS had gotten in after he flew in for the event. And they were hopefully making amends. That’s at least what they indicated on social media. So we have a lot to touch on as we move forward. Everybody needs to take Relief Factor. This is a great partner to the show. Relief Factor can help you with your everyday aches and pains. And they do it by targeting your body’s inflammatory response.

SPEAKER 15 :
Are young people really going into debt to impress? Apparently the ticket to attention for young people is going into debt to impress others by things like clothes and shoes. Two in five Gen Zers admit to going into debt to impress. That’ll get you into some trouble. Check out the Watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 09 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 11 :
A bear has attacked a 90-year-old woman in what, well, it did it in a grocery store as well, which is kind of insane. Well, Dollar General store. A 90-year-old woman, a black bear, tore through, this was in New Jersey, and went on a rampage. They had to euthanize it after it attacked. I thought, you never know when you hear bear now and rainbows. I just never know anymore. But some of it was caught on video. She had scratches on her legs. Thankfully, she wasn’t mauled. The bear looks crazy. I got to say, bear looks crazy. They said that they had a 65-year-old that was recording everything that was happening. And apparently you can hear another man say, get the blank away from me. Of course, it’s in New Jersey. I just love that he’s going to cuss at the bear and make the bear go away. You know, it’s like Democrats. You’re going to cuss and make people agree with your policies. Anyway, everybody’s okay, thankfully. But, well, she was injured. But nobody else. They euthanized the bear. Okay, so a disabled man. This is an insane story. This is horrifying, actually. A disabled man ended up.
SPEAKER 1 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 11 :
self-driving robot delivery cart cut off, cut him off in traffic and reversed into him. He was on a mobility scooter. So it was a food delivery robot. And apparently there’s video that captured it. The man who has cerebral palsy was on his way home from a procedure and a serve robotics cart crashed into his mobility scooter that he uses for long distances. It’s like all over Instagram. And it literally, it was almost like it was doing it like it was a jerk. It looked on purpose. I’m sorry this looked on purpose. He screamed as he was trying to zigzag on the sidewalk to avoid the robot’s jolting impact, but it literally cut in front of him and then slammed on its brakes. I watched this. Dude, I’m sorry. This robot tried to kill him. This robot legit tried to kill this guy. Don’t tell me that they don’t do that because one of them committed suicide. One of the robots did. Remember? It was in Washington where this little security robot was like, I’m done with life and rolled itself into a fountain. I’m not. That actually happened. Totally happened. Oh, it’s, I don’t know. Americans have had, they have so much car debt. Apparently it could start a 2008 like recession. Although I think we’re already there. If I’m being honest, what do you mean start? The soaring cost of cars and insurance, a lot of people are pushed to the financial brink and now drivers apparently owe $1.6 trillion in car loans. It’s a bigger burden than federal student loan debt or credit cards. It’s up 20% since 2020. And the squeeze is showing up in a lot of missed car payments, delinquencies, defaults, repossessions, things like that. So it’s pretty wild. But we’re already there. Let’s see. And apparently… Oh, DFW had… And that’s an old one. That’s because it’s not really in… in practice anymore uh but there have been there was a cyber attack on european airports heathrow heathrow operates like there’s a cyber attack on it anyway every given day i mean i’ve never been to a crazier airport in my life but apparently they had a lot of problems all over the weekend canada uh all over europe as well the dublin airport was evacuated because of safety concerns the check-in and boarding. Of course, you know, imagine Irish people not being able to go in and get on their planes. It might get fighty. I’m joking. I can say that because I’m part Irish. All right, we’ve got a lot more on the way. We’re going to dive into some of this stuff, not just with the memorial, but Tom Holman as well. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 14 :
Political violence erupts again as conservative activist Charlie Kirk is murdered while speaking on a college campus. How do we fix this evil insanity? The media get mad at the right for pointing out they completely ignored a grisly murder because it doesn’t fit their narrative. And a sitting U.S. senator really thinks our rights come from the government. I’m Greg Karumbas, inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the Three Martini Lunch podcast.

SPEAKER 16 :
Many of these people, by the way, are paid a lot of money to do this. They’re agitators. They’re paid agitators. Remember that? When you see they all have the same beautifully printed sign, every sign is identical, comes out of a top-level print shop, That’s not the signs that are made in somebody’s basement. Those are paid for by very bad people. And hopefully we’re going to be finding out through the DOJ who those people are. At another college, Antifa terrorists shattered windows through rocks and tried to storm the building where Charlie was speaking. It was a really bad one. Often dozens of police officers were needed to prevent left-wing violence. And the violence comes largely from the left. You don’t hear that from too many people, do you?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and he’s not wrong. I mean, that’s exactly… Some people were mad and saying, oh, well, Trump was political. He wasn’t. And he was talking about… Can I just be really frank about something here with this? This idea that, you know, Charlie was a political person, you know. He was obviously very into politics. This was not just a memorial. It was also a celebration of his life, and it was very helpful for his family and friends. It’s not about how other people would celebrate. It’s about how his family and friends would celebrate. And I don’t think that Trump said anything in that that was in any way inaccurate, Cain. No. I didn’t detect any lies. I didn’t hear of anything that was incorrect in that. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lashley. I’ve already gotten emails about it. Yes, I know my voice sounds bad. Just get over it. I’m fine. I’m just doubly exhausted. I am okay. Stop telling me what teas to drink. God love you. They’re all so sweet. They all mean the best. I keep noticing this. I’m trying to pull this up because I had an example of it that I found this morning. So I’m trying to… There were actually a lot of examples of this where people were like, well, why did they say anything about this? Or why was this? This is the way that, again, his family and his friends, this is them honoring his life. It’s not how you would honor your life. It’s not what… I don’t care if it’s what you would. God, Lee, people, just get over it. I am so tired of everybody trying to clout chase and everybody trying to have an opinion and everybody trying to be like, oh, this is what I would do. Nobody cares what you would do. Stop. I get so aggravated. I thought it was a beautiful service and it was worship for, you know, hours. And even between speakers, they also played worship music and they had worship songs between speakers even. Just saying. It’s very different from what the left does. Kane, what does the left do?
SPEAKER 09 :
Besides celebrate evil?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, you know, if the left lost someone, how do they typically respond to things like this?
SPEAKER 09 :
They go out and they become violent and riot and burn buildings. Yeah, they cause more damage.
SPEAKER 11 :
I didn’t see any rioting. I didn’t see one. Are we doing it wrong? I didn’t even see a burning building.
SPEAKER 09 :
We’re doing it right.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I mean, you know, because we were told that that’s like all mostly peaceful protests. So I was just, you know, I was just curious as to how that works. I mean, just a very interesting thing here. We there was no burning of buildings. There was no lighting churches on fire. There were no riots. There was none of that. None of it. So it was just it was literally prayer and peace and all of that. Nothing bad. Nothing. Nothing. You know, nothing that we’ve seen on like CNN. Nothing that we’ve seen on MSNBC. I think that’s kind of a big difference of it. A huge difference. I’ll have a post later today on Substack. I was going to try to do it last night, but we didn’t have Wi-Fi on the plane and got in super late because the storms that were all around Dallas. And so it was in Phoenix. So it was delayed. Your girl’s on like four hours of sleep. So we didn’t get the piece up last night. Um, but well, I’ll have some, I have some, uh, audio and video for you. I wanted to, I think, do we have this video? This is one of the ones I sent you guys this morning. Um, this was for, I took this inside and this was, um, like before any of the speakers began and it was a moment when the audience was you know they stopped the instrumentation and the audience like everybody who was there participating uh began to sing what audio because we have a million audio soundbites what do we got because this is the one i sent earlier so it should be we only have photos the videos i don’t see any of those in the audio channel at all so i don’t know if
SPEAKER 09 :
you have those in there. But if you want to send that over, I totally put it up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, well, I’ll go back to this because I had put it in there. I hate Slack so bad. Again, bear with us all. But it was an amazing event, like I said, and there were no protesters inside either. I didn’t see any protesters inside. Did I didn’t there wasn’t a single protester that was inside and it was just it was just which I actually was surprised about. I’m not going to be able to send it via Slack. So it’s just it is what it is. But I’ll put it up on Substack on my YouTube. I’ll personally myself put it up there so that you guys can see it. But it was it was pretty it was pretty cool. We played some of the audio from her remarks from Erica’s remarks. And this was interesting, too. I wanted to play this audio soundbite six because there was a lot of. A lot of conspiracy theories about this stuff. I don’t like conspiracy theories. I also understand that absent any kind of clarification or detail, people fill in the holes and they do this stuff themselves. I don’t think that that’s a great idea to do. That said, it just… I think she shared this with everyone because I’m not going to dive into her head and get into why she felt she needed. She clearly did. She wanted to share that with people. But there were a lot of people that were saying like he faked his death and all this kind of stuff. And I’m just like the fact that a family and these and his friends keep having to just stop. In the middle of. an insane amount of grief and address this stuff is insane. Like Andrew Colvett and others, the fact that they keep having to address some of that stuff was insane. This was interesting. And I wanted to play the soundbite for you because I think it helps some people try to process, especially like the younger generation, people like my kid’s age, that just couldn’t believe that this happened on live stream. And I think that they were worried more than anything that this person that they knew, because my kids knew Charlie, didn’t feel any kind of pain. And I wanted to play audio of Sunbite Six for you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Charlie didn’t suffer. Even the doctor told me. It was something so instant that even, even if Charlie had been shot in the operating room itself, nothing could have been done. There was no pain. There was no fear. No agony. One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved. arguing and debating on campus, fighting for the gospel and truth in front of a big crowd. And then he blinked, he blinked, and saw his savior in paradise.
SPEAKER 11 :
I mean, it’s amazing. So basically what she’s saying, it was instantaneous and that he felt no pain, etc. And that’s kind of what I think a lot of people were thinking. Some of the video, again, I hope some of you never see that because it’s just things that you cannot unsee. I thought POTUS had a lot of really good reviews. He made a lot of really good points. I thought all of the speakers were really good. Some of them, I’m not going to question why people were there. I don’t know what’s… The friends and family, they were the ones who decided that this was the speaker roster that they wanted, etc. And again, it’s about a celebration of Charlie’s life. It’s not about our lives or someone else celebrating the way that they wanted to celebrate. It’s not about any of that. But the… speakers, I thought the pastor, his pastor, and another pastor who spoke were, were unbelievable. They were absolutely unbelievable. And I thought they had just like the right tone, the right messaging. I just I’ve never, you know, with like the Floyd stuff, you know, if you wanted to compare, I wanted to go back to Erica Kirk, which stunned everybody, by the way, she didn’t have to do that at this event. But I think it was so incredibly important. And I think that she had the foresight to understand that this is kind of a watershed moment in culture, not just politics. This extends beyond politics. It’s like a watershed moment culturally. And I think it also determines, well, what is going to be the way that people react going forward? Because clearly, you know, conservatives are targeted. There’s threats to conservatives that exist. I turned down some speaking things over the weekend at different events that were outside because there was no guarantee of safety. And a lot of people are kind of people who are in this industry, people who want to be active in politics are watching this. And I think it was very important what she did. I don’t know that I could do that, that 11 days after that’s, that is a strong faith that that’s where she was able to punch down into the grief and into the dark and find forgiveness for the person who put her in this state. And, and, busted her family. I mean, it just, it was an amazing thing. She didn’t have to do it, but I think she felt the weight of the moment also. And she’s a Christian. She’s more conservative than Charlie ever was. True. And that’s just her. So it was… It’s amazing to see that, especially contrasted with everything else that we’ve seen with regards to how the left does things. And I bring that up because I’m not sitting here going, oh, look at the left is so bad. I wish that they would react that way. That’s my point in telling that to you. I wish that they would react that way. Doubt that they ever will. But, you know, still, we wish. We I’ll have more of it. There’s there’s other things that I want to get into as well, because we have some domestic issues. Can we just talk about that? Let me just set the table because we’re going to get into this Tom Homan thing. And you guys know, I tend to like Tom Homan. He actually kind of reminds me of one of my grandfathers. He was accused by MSNBC of. So this is how they put it. In an undercover operation, MSNBC is saying the FBI recorded Tom Homan, who is the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash. after indicating that he could help the agents who were posing as business executives win government contracts in a second administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by NBC. Now, there’s a number of things to kind of keep in mind here. Immediately, I don’t want to trust it, number one. Number two, even Andrew McCarthy, my friend Andrew McCarthy, is like, this is weird. None of this makes sense. And third… Tom Holman’s not an idiot. Let me tell you how I would take a bribe, okay? If I’m going to take a bribe, it’s not going to be in, like, marked dollar bills. I mean, especially when you can do, like, crypto and Bitcoin. I haven’t done this, but I’m just telling you, if I would, this is what I would do. You’ve got, like, crypto. You’ve got Bitcoin. I mean, gosh, if you insist on cash, can’t you just be like, oh, well, leave it in the hotel room. Just get a hotel room. Leave it there. I will get this hotel room and then be shocked when I discover a bag of cash under the bed, you know? Like, there’s all a million… The fact that they’re saying that Tom Holman himself was like, yes, I would like to accept this cash with my hands. I just don’t believe it. Also, to me and you all, it’s a lot of money, but not in the grand scheme of things. $50,000 is not enough for a guy who knows he’s going to be in the administration to wreck his entire career for. Sorry, but there’s a lot of things that are against this that I don’t buy. Now, you guys know I always carry. I have zero problem throwing lead downrange in defense of myself and or loved ones. And I also am completely aware of the municipal and private property restrictions. that affect your ability to carry where you would like, when you would like, at certain or any time. And that’s where I think it’s good to diversify your weapons array, especially if you’re a college kid who’s old enough to go and serve their country overseas and carry full auto, but apparently you’re not trusted enough to even carry to protect yourself here at home under the age of 21. So this is where the Burna gun comes in. Burna gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. The SD is their most popular model. The smaller CL, new, The newest one I think is going to overtake the SD in terms of popularity. Easy target acquisition, no recoil, unlike regular stun guns that only have a couple of shots. This one I said yesterday I had seven. Sorry, it was a 15 round capacity per cartridge. So you have 15 rounds compared to like your regular stun guns, which is like one, maybe two. It also super lightweight. There’s no recoil. And here’s the thing. There’s no background check. There are no fees. There’s no none of that. There’s no they don’t care about gun-free zone signs at all whatsoever. They’re legal in every state. You can get it sent right to your front door. It’s Burna.com slash Dana, B-Y-R-N-A. You have different calibers. You carry blades. It’s always good to have a diversified weapons array. Check out the new Burna CL stands for compact launcher. Burna.com slash Dana.

Hey, I just canceled my Disney Plus and Hulu subscriptions. And they asked me why I hit other. And I wrote, because I believe in the First Amendment, reinstate Jimmy Kimmel. Now, my whole family is really going to miss Abbott Elementary. We are really going to miss Only Murders in the Building. But you know what? We would miss the First Amendment a whole lot more. Don’t go to the theme parks. Don’t go on the cruises. Cancel your subscriptions.
SPEAKER 11 :
Now. Mind your own business, broad. Don’t make me sit here and defend Disney. I hate everything. Don’t make me defend Disney. But it’s not a First Amendment issue. That’s one where I do disagree with people. And it’s not, I have some people like, oh, I thought you were a free speech warrior. I thought you actually understood the concept of private business. Are you a Marxist? Because only Marxists don’t understand the concept of private business. And if we’re starting this discussion from the point of private businesses don’t have the right to control their employment, then I already can’t talk to you about this because you’ve adopted a Marxist stance on it. These companies chose to do this because they got so many calls and so much feedback. This had nothing to do with the administration. This had nothing to do with the FCC. And there were people out there saying, well, Brendan Carr shouldn’t have, Brendan Carr, whatever. I don’t give a rat’s ass how Brendan Carr said it because Brendan Carr didn’t do the stuff Brendan Carr was being accused of. You can have a separate conversation as to whether or not you think it’s appropriate to for him to quote the Matthew McConaughey line from that movie, Reign of Fire. We can make it easier. We can make it real easy. That’s not the same thing as Barack, as Joe Biden, actually even Barack Obama, Joe Biden actually pressuring tech companies to censor conservatives. It’s not the same thing as Barack Obama going after the Associated Press for writing unflattering pieces about his second term. It’s not the same thing as people getting suspended or it’s actually it’s not even the same thing as the Biden administration sending the FBI to raid people’s homes and arrest journalists because his drug addicted loud layabout daughter, who is literally my age and she acts like she’s 18, was lost her diary in a flophouse. And so they decided to go after the journalists that uncovered it. So it’s not even remotely the same. The the issue is these entities do not want to hear this feedback from their listeners, from their viewers. They took action themselves. It’s not a First Amendment issue. That is an employment issue. That is an issue between the employer and the employee. And as for Carr, again, it’s a separate issue how he said it to what really happened. I mean, do you I feel like the goalposts are moving. So the debate was, wow, it’s like so bad. The this is such a First Amendment violation. The FCC did this. And then when shown mounds of evidence that the FCC actually didn’t. And again, I had Brennan Carr on the show and I asked him twice if he actually himself or the administration put pressure on Nextar or Sinclair or Disney or ABC. And the answer was no. So absent any evidence of coercion, I’m not going to go, oh, gosh, that’s that’s a first because it’s not. If people dislike how he said it, that’s a completely separate issue from what happened. I will say that I don’t think it’s helpful for the administration to try to spike a football that wasn’t there to spike in the first place because that gives the left fuel. And I think that’s a pretty fair assessment. But the accusations that this was a government thing, it’s dumb. We’re not Marxists. We believe in private property. We’ve got more on the way. Second hour coming up. So apparently we have to stop falling for the whole higher thread count thing because it doesn’t necessarily mean better sheets. That’s fake news, apparently. It’s like believing that you use like 10% of your brain. So the secret isn’t thread count, it’s thread quality. And this is where Bull & Branch has won a lot of folks over at yours truly. They use the best organic cotton, end of. I mean, these are sheets that feel incredible, like the moment you take them out of the box. So the first night that you put them on, you can tell right away that they’re softer, they’re cooler, and they have a great weight. It’s like kind of having a five-star hotel room in your own house. And I’ll tell you something else. The sheets get better every time that you’ve washed them. I’ve washed mine countless times and they just keep getting softer. You can’t do that with cheap sheets because they totally fall apart. Bowl and branch, they get more luxurious. So you’ll sleep better and you’re kind of kind of feel like a spoiled brat, but it’s OK. I’m not going to go back to the old sheets. Once you try them, you’re not going to either.

SPEAKER 16 :
He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent. and i don’t want the best for them i’m sorry i am sorry erica but now erica can talk to me and the whole group and maybe they can convince me that that’s not right but i can’t stand my opponent charlie’s angry looking down he’s angry at me now he wasn’t interested in demonizing anyone he was interested in persuading everyone to
SPEAKER 11 :
The ideas and principles he believed were good, right, and true. This was actually a funny moment, and I think it was illustrative in a number of different ways. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Yes, I’m drinking horrible tea right now. No, it’s throat coat. My husband used to sing opera, so he makes me drink this horrible licorice thing to help with the voice. I know. I see you all. God love you. I’ve got your little emails and your little comments. Thank you. I’m not sick. I thought that was one of my favorite moments from Trump’s remarks, and it was hysterical. Because face it, how many of y’all think this? I mean, really, until everyone was like completely humbled by Erica’s remarks, like I forget. I mean, everyone, I think that really reset the tone. Not kidding you. I think it did. Again, welcome back to the program. We are doing our nationally syndicated radio show that you can watch, Channel 347, DirecTV. We have the chat at Rumble. And just apologies in advance if I sound a little, I’m just exhausted. Your girls, four hours of sleep and flew home in a storm so I could get here and be with you today. So it’s, I think I’m actually still, I was thrown all over the plane, almost. That might be a slight exaggeration. I liked what the president said there because he was not, guys, guys, guys, I need some people to just chill. Take a beat. Please, dear God, I need some people to just exhale. And I’ve heard from a few of you where you’ve said, oh, that was completely inappropriate what he said. He wasn’t saying that literally. He’s making a joke. He’s making a joke. It was funny. He’s not sitting here expressing that as some sort of Christian doctrine. So, you know, let’s just chill. It was a funny remark. And I think he actually was, he’s basically saying, here’s my flaw. Here’s my weakness. And it’s funny because everybody really kind of felt the same way until she said what she said. And I know for a fact that that knocked his socks off. He was not. And that was that was well known. He did not know she was going to say that. And that really reset the tone for a lot of stuff. Steve and I and Kane, we were all talking on break. I didn’t… Because last night it came in, I didn’t have Wi-Fi on the plane, and it was just a madhouse leaving. And so I didn’t see a lot of what people were saying about… Because they had… A lot of people streamed the event. I think… How many people did they say streamed the event, Cain? Do you remember?
SPEAKER 09 :
Like, total, it’s like 100 million. Like, it was… It was that. It was a lot.
SPEAKER 11 :
I saw that figure, but I was like… Yeah, that’s the figure I’ve been seeing. Wow, that’s pretty impressive. So… Some of the people Steve was saying were upset because, like, for instance, the sparklers. Can we… Is that the best way to say it? What are they? They’re fireworks, right? They’re giant floor sparklers.
SPEAKER 09 :
They’re pyrotechnics for stage.
SPEAKER 11 :
Is that technically how you would say it? Yeah. Not my layman’s… Oh, it’s giant floor sparklers.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s stage pyrotechnics, yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. I was saying, like, floor… Okay, floor spark… But yours sounds way much more knowledgeable and professional.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yours isn’t inaccurate, though.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. So… She walked out to the podium and they had pyro. Can we show this? This is four. Yeah, I think this is four. This is when she’d walked out. A lot of people apparently were reacting to the pyro. It’s a powerful moment. Some people were talking about the pyrotechnics. Can we just let me address this? I hope that nobody in the organization has to because they’re very busy right now and they’re grieving and they, you know, a lot of things are happening for them. Charlie loved the pyro, case in point. I remember when they first started incorporating it at TPUSA events because I’ve known Charlie for a long time and done a lot of his events. You know, he is a good guy. And I remember at one point, I can’t remember where it was or what event it was, but I was backstage because they line you up backstage and everybody gets a, you know, you… You’re free to pretty much do whatever you’re going to do, and everybody knows what their lanes are. I mean, it’s pretty remarkable how conservatives just know and just can congeal and work together. But I watched somebody go out on stage, and I saw the floor sparklers. Cain, what do you call them again? Pyrotechnics? No, say it in the microphone and make it sound smart, and I’ll act like it was me.
SPEAKER 09 :
Stage pyrotechnics.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Okay. So they went off and I’m like, because you see they’re right there on the stage, right? And I, and I, it made me jump a little bit. And Charlie was backstage standing next to me and he laughed because he saw that I jumped because they were, they all of a sudden there they were. And I look back at him. He was like, don’t worry. You’re not going to get set on fire is what he told me. And I’m like, those sparks go pretty high, my dude, those sparks. I’m like, and they, you know, sometimes they come down and he’s like, no, it’s all like, it’s tested. We, you know, he’s like, we have total pros that are doing everything. And he’s like, I love it so much. He’s like, it’s like the 4th of July. He loved it. So that’s why. And Andrew Colvett, who’s the spokesperson for the organization said, that’s why they had those there because he loved them. He wanted, he just liked celebrating. And this was about his celebration of life. He would have wanted it there. That’s, that’s what it was about. And I think it highlights that a lot of people aren’t familiar with how TPUSA does stuff. They’re not familiar with how they do their events. They’re not familiar with how they do a lot of their outreach and some of the stuff that they do. This was like par for the course. So anybody who’s ever been to a TPUSA event, that’s literally what’s that. That’s like a Charlie Hallmark. That’s because he loved that stuff. That’s a Charlie Hallmark. But he was like, he like bent over laughing because I literally jumped. And he was like, he just thought it was hysterical. And he’s like, don’t worry, you’re not going to get set on fire.
SPEAKER 09 :
If you ever stand next to those, there’s some real heat that comes off of those things.
SPEAKER 11 :
And they’re so bright. They’re so bright. Like when they’re going, you, so when I’m, when I would be up on stage and I would go out whenever they would do their events, if sometimes they have the stage where you walk out, like on a catwalk and there’s a podium. And sometimes like the women’s event last time, they didn’t have that. And when those things go off, it’s so bright. You can’t see anything else. You are like blinded. But I jumped and he thought it was hysterical. And he was like, don’t worry. You’re not going to get set on fire. And I’m like, Charlie, you know those sparks come down too, right? He was very confident. And they always had flawless events. So I was like, if you say it’s good, I trust it. You say it’s good. I’m not going to have my head caught on fire. That’s why they had him. And a lot of people, I think, were trying to… I saw somebody who wasn’t at the event say… I don’t want to get into denominations. I’m not going to be pushed into that. But it’s someone who clearly is not like a non-denominational or something of that manner. And they’re like, oh, well, this looked like a circus, not a revival. I’m like, well, you weren’t even there. And, you know, that seems like pretty mean spirited of somebody to say when they have Christian in their bio, you weren’t there. And that’s exactly not what it was like. And it was also about a celebration of his life. It was a celebration of his life. That’s it. I think that, you know, not everybody grieves the same. And I just think it’s silly if people are going to focus on things like pyrotechnics as opposed to the fact that you had several hundred thousand people. I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands, millions online that we’re watching, but you had thousands of people in that stadium and then in the hockey arena next door who were literally all worshiping together. It was like a Sunday service. And so instead of talking about that, they’re going to sit here and focus on pyrotechnics. Are you kidding me right now? Like I get that there’s this, there is fame to be found in being a contrarian. If you’re the person who’s always picking everyone else apart, that’s like an appropriation of power, right? It’s a substitute for power or some, some, some sort of seniority in an issue in which you have no other means to achieve it. It’s pathetic and I’m tired of seeing it. I just really am. Um, I don’t really have anything else to add on it. I didn’t think it, and Cain, I mean, your thoughts, because you were watching some of this.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, there’s a lot of it that was really moving. I mean, you know what the context is and all of that, but it was great to see the moments of levity, the stuff that Trump brought and other people to the stage, just sort of, you know, it didn’t allow you to sort of be swallowed up by the sorrow of it all. And I thought that was really apropos.
SPEAKER 11 :
I mean, what did people, what were they expecting? I think that in light of all of the all of the different ways this could have gone, I think that people should be happy that hundreds of thousands got together and worshipped and prayed. But see, here’s what the left is going to do, and I need the right to not feed into this. What the left is going to do is they’re going to try to focus on everything that they can pick apart. They’re going to ignore the fact that it was praise and worship for three hours. They’re going to ignore the praise and worship between the speakers. They’re going to ignore the… demands and and and statements of the speakers for peace and for revival and they’re going to instead focus on oh well trump was there oh well vance was there or this happened or whatever and it was a political rally if you want to see a political rally i’ll direct you to paul wellstone’s visitation back in the early aughts if you want a comparison go and look what happened there I mean, getting up there and actually going after Republicans in an uncharitable way and being very, very polarizing. That’s one thing that wasn’t happening here. In fact, the most polarizing thing that you if you wanted to make the argument for it was Trump joking about, oh, I don’t love my enemies. I mean, that was like that was I mean, I was there. I heard all of it. That was the most you know, if you wanted to try to argue that there was something polarizing, that was the most polarizing thing that was there. And it is. The media is going to focus on those things because they need something to invalidate the lack of violence. They didn’t get riots like what they get after one of their drug dealers dies. They didn’t get that. Oh, no, that was accurate. It was accurate. I didn’t say anything that was false. What do you want me to do, dress it up? they the right doesn’t this did not happen it was peaceful people were nice to each other they were like weirdly nice to each other i get weird when people are really nice so i’m like in the stadium the whole time like just everybody was so nice um but the left that’s another bomb to their narrative on the right you have to realize they’re trying to figure out how to counter program what everybody just saw you had people all in this country and all around the world watch one of the most peaceful faith-based things that you could see and everybody was i mean you had the world’s richest man sitting there through a praise and worship service for hours we were four hours behind for hours um clearly that had to plant some seeds don’t you think There were a lot of other high profile people there. And it was a great it was a great way to witness. The left sees that and they’re like, oh, my gosh, this is completely counter to everything that we tell everybody that the right is. They didn’t look like Nazis. They didn’t look like fascists. They look like people who just were honoring someone. And then they turned the period up until the speeches into a Sunday service so that, hey, we’re all here. We’re going to praise and worship. The left has to figure out a way to counter program that. So all they can do is try to pick apart and try to find the most what they think is the most political moments of it. And then they’re going to try to work with you to convince you that, oh, well, why did they have the sparklers there? Why did they have the floor pyrotechnics? Why did they have that? And they’re going to play on maybe you not knowing how TPUSA operates or maybe you not knowing that Charlie loved those things. And that’s literally and they said it. That’s why they had it. And they’re going to try to pick and divide that way. Do not feed into that. You don’t need to, you don’t need anyone to re-describe to you what you saw with your own eyes. Do not allow someone to influence the narrative that you, the truth that you saw with their BS narrative. Do not do that. As we move our partners who help bring you the program, Caltech, the PR57, it’s a 5.7 rotary barrel pistol, 40% lighter than the next 5.7. The top loading design replaces traditional mags with stripper clips. You get a slimmer carry profile at 20 plus one capacity as well. Super lightweight because of the rotary barrel design and because of the way it loads. It’s also super affordable with an MSRP of only $399. Made in America, family-owned, based in Florida. It is the PR57, chambered in 5.7. If you ever wanted a nice, concealable 5.7, here it is. It’s from Kel-Tec, K-E-L-T-E-C, weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.
SPEAKER 09 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 11 :
This is crazy. So the New York Post reported it’s another story of a Brooklyn bodega worker. Wait, how does Jill Biden say it?
SPEAKER 05 :
Bodega.
SPEAKER 11 :
Thank you. Who claims self-defense in a fatal scuffle with what is being described as a neighborhood nuisance who threatened to kill him. It was one of the Brooklyn workers. He got into this fatal tussle with this guy. Both of the men that were involved said they were defending themselves from this guy who repeatedly threatened to kill them. Royal Deli and Grill worker Kevin Mello told Daily News that Jerry Hill loudly barged into the business. And threatened workers. And then when they asked him to quit screaming, because the customers were obviously freaking out, he said, I’m going to kill you. Anyone of you come outside and fight, I’m going to kill you. So the workers, I mean, Jerry Hill ended up losing his life as a result of it. He started throwing stuff at them, everything, and then he attacked them. He said, I grabbed him and he fell on top of me and we were fighting. And he said he realized that he had been bleeding. But they were defending themselves. And apparently, I think what he ended up… It’s kind of hard to follow the article, but it sounds like he ended up getting accidentally stabbed because they were just throwing each other all over tables and everything. But the guy was a problem. And apparently, you know, whenever he was detained prior, guess what? He’s always allowed to walk out. So… This is what happens when you have politicians that won’t allow law enforcement to do their job. It’s unfortunate. Also, let’s see. Oh, I’m going to come back to the Sky Meadow Country Club. We’re going to talk about that as well. The media has been trying to cover up the fact that the guy was screaming free Palestine before he decided to kill a guest at the Sky Meadow Country Club. We’re going to talk about that coming up. A two-year-old lives alone for days on junk food after the mother passed away in China and nobody apparently was able to check on the baby. And oh my goodness, but apparently they weren’t able to confirm why the mother passed, but the toddler survived on junk food, including snacks and jellies and other things that he could find in their house. That’s so sad. We have a lot more on the way because we’ve got the Tom Homan and then Media Malpractice. Stick with us. Partners over at All Family Pharmacy.

SPEAKER 11 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of the second hour. The story of Tom Holman, we were talking a little bit about this earlier. I immediately was just like, hmm, don’t know if I believe this. Why? And the story is he was accused of being involved in some kind of, in a sting, they got him accepting $50,000 in cash to… get some government contracts and basically to produce some government contracts. That’s kind of, that’s what the accusation is. And it sounds stupid. Here’s why it sounds stupid. You’re Tom Homan. You are, you know, you’re going to have a significant role in the president’s administration, correct? You know, you’re going to have a sizable role in the next admin. Why would you, accept a bribe. And yes, this is a lot of money to us, but not to DC and people who play in that pit. You’re going to take $50,000 in cash and wreck your whole professional life and your chances coming up in the next admin for $50,000 in cash that you can’t even live for a year off of. Seriously. I mean, you could, but I’m sure he’s got, you know what I mean? That’s not a lot to wreck your whole life and your whole body of work and your whole reputation and to sell out. That’s number one. Number two, you’re Tom Homan. You’re not stupid enough to accept cash just in your hands from people. That’s not how this is done. How the hell do people think this is done? My gosh, come on. Sometimes the media is very, very stupid. All I’m saying is if I’m going to take a bribe, I’m going to do Bitcoin. I’m doing crypto. At the very least, I’m going to have somebody, oh, well, look, I just got this hotel room to stay the night and there’s this cash under the bed that I had no idea was prearranged to be left here. That’s what I’m doing. You know what I’m saying? I’m not going to be like, yeah, I would like to take the $50,000 in my hands. Now, thank you. No. This is so stupid. Here’s your receipt. Yes, here’s your receipt. Put bribe in the memo. That’s not how this is done. And it’s Tom Homan. Again, I think that everybody’s got a currency, and that’s not one of his. Now, the White House just addressed it through their spokesperson, if we can get this ready. They just addressed it and pretty much said the same thing, although in a more curt fashion. Listen.
SPEAKER 13 :
Mr. Holman never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to. So you should get your facts straight number one. Number two, this was another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign. You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president’s top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well would be taking a government position months later. Mr. Homan did absolutely nothing wrong. And even the president’s Department of Justice, even Kash Patel’s FBI looked into this just to make sure they had a number of different prosecutors and FBI agents who looked into this. They found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing in the White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100% because he did absolutely nothing wrong. And he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job in helping the president shut down the border.
SPEAKER 11 :
well there you go so it’s a bunk so can we stop with this dumb story he didn’t do it i mean you’re you’re relying on people who have lied to you repeatedly and they’re like no no this time we’re true this time is true swearsies it just doesn’t make sense i was reading my friend andy mccarthy And he was talking about his incredulity with regards to this, you know, like meeting covertly recorded on video, 50,000 in cash, you know, all of this stuff. That’s what they’re, but they’ve, you know, they, the report they said was the Justice Department apparently assessed it and was like, there’s no there there. What are you guys talking about? It originated under previous admin. OK, so the Biden administration started it. Now, he does have the caveat that it actually began. Where is this? You pull this up because he had a great piece. It actually began. They were FBI was it started in Texas. A suspect the FBI was investigating in Texas was overheard claiming that Holman was soliciting payments, et cetera, et cetera. And Andy was saying that, well, what’s reported sounds bad, but, you know, it can’t just be the FBI. It’s, you know, it started in Texas. Well, it can’t just be that. It absolutely can’t. They’re still running that op in Texas. You see what I’m saying? So that doesn’t make any sense. The Trump administration, as I said, assessed and was like, there’s no there there. He was like in the private sector. Again, you have to remember this originated, the investigation originated under the Biden administration. And it began when Tom Homan, and Cain, remind everybody, when did Tom Homan actually take his position in the administration? It wasn’t during the Biden administration.
SPEAKER 09 :
Nope, sure wasn’t. Wasn’t until after Trump was inaugurated.
SPEAKER 11 :
Can I ask you a question?
SPEAKER 09 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 11 :
what is the point of bribing someone? Let’s play this out for a second.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right. To gain special favor because they have a position that could be advantageous to what you want.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. But that last part, they have a position that could be advantageous to what you want. At that point in time, when this investigation under the Biden administration began, did, did Tom Homan have that position? He sure did not. He didn’t. So why the hell would you be bribing someone who is in no position to deliver a
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s almost like it was a setup.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s weird. Wait, no way. You mean to tell me that the same FBI that had some wayward agents that literally were able to get a wiretap on a private citizen over his politics because they went around the proper operating procedure with a FISA court, that that same entity that worked in collusion with all of them, that we can’t trust them on this? What? Much shock. So surprised. I can’t believe it, guys. So I just think if I’m going to bribe somebody, I’m going to make sure that they are worthy of being bribed. If you can’t, if you’re not even in the position to do anything for me, why am I going to bribe? You know what? This is stupid. But it is the Biden administration, King.
SPEAKER 09 :
Think about it. It’s all that they couldn’t run on any sort of accomplishments that Biden had over the four years. So their only thing and by the way, their only thing for the longest time that I can remember is just media smears. That’s literally all it is.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. So I don’t know. Congress may determine that they they would look into it or not. I don’t know. But I would imagine that when it is. I mean, Homan did get an admin job where they did not. He did not have to go through the Senate confirmation process. instead of just outright nominating him for a cabinet post. I don’t, the only, and that just might be timing. I don’t know. It also might be a way for him to just, you know, try to people out the different positions in different departments with people that had his back. I mean, it could be a number of things. But the left is saying, well, you know, he didn’t have that Senate confirmation process, so that’s evidence. Of what? Of not having a Senate confirmation process? Yeah, you’re correct. He was appointed into this admin job. Is it confirmation that he was involved in a bribery scheme? No. It wasn’t. I really wish that they would look at the crimes that exist instead of making up things that don’t exist. So that, and I accept the… administration’s remarks on this. I mean, that makes sense. We have a couple of other things as well. Actually, a lot to get into still. And I want to switch. Let me pull this up. And again, bear with us because we flew in a storm and got in really late last night. And so we’re a little today. But the where is because I saw this. Kane, it had to do. Who was was it the Kavanaugh? killer? Or, well, wannabe killer that came out as trans? So, is anybody surprised at this? So this story, I think this came out when? Over the weekend? So Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, his would-be assassin, IDs as trans. This is according to court documents. The 29-year-old, he pled guilty to attempting to kill Kavanaugh. Now remember, that Attempt came after Chuck Schumer was on the steps of the Supreme Court building and screaming, you know, you’re going to feel the wrath, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. So the defense attorneys revealed that the 29 year old, his name is Nicholas. Now they got to call him Sophie. The public defenders assigned to his case indicated in a court filing that they’re going to refer to their client with female pronouns out of respect. You got to respect the training wannabe killer. So this they have this in the legal filing. They want to change his name from Nicholas to Sophie. What? OK, just let’s just newsflash here. You are going to court because you brought you were on your way armed and ready to trying to kill a Supreme Court justice. And then you admitted that you did it. They’re giving you your trial due process, but you admitted that you did it. You don’t get to pick pronouns. You don’t get to do any of this other stuff. That’s free people stuff. Okay, you’re not free. That’s free people stuff. Free people can pretend that their genitals aren’t what they are. Free people get to make the determination that they want to change their name or do whatever. if they want to fly their freak flag or not. Free people get to do that. Not people like this dude who was admitted that he was trying to go and kill a Supreme Court justice and got caught trying to do it. You don’t get to do free people stuff. Why are we indulging this? You know, sidebar, part of me wants to become a judge just so I can just sit there and be like, get out of my courtroom. Just so I can just throw people out right and left. Has to be so satisfying. So they said that they want to be respectful. Now remember he wasn’t just caught armed out. He was literally outside of Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland. I think a lot of people are would be shocked to realize how close he got but he also had a tack light but he had zip ties. He had burglary tools apparently had like a crowbar and a whole bunch of other stuff. So he had like a little knapsack of no good and he was there to do some harm. He was there to do harm. So that he doesn’t get to say, I want to pick my pronouns now. I want to do it. He doesn’t get to do any of that stuff. We’re not doing this. We’re not doing this at all. Not at all. It’s a silly, it’s a silly and a danger. All right. We’ve got more on the way. We’ve got Florida man coming up. Let me give you a couple of other things. So Howard Stern, every, is that like the new big thing to all these progressive boomers? Are they going to try to like stunt on I’m canceling my Disney?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. It’s like the black square.
SPEAKER 11 :
This is not like, does this affect you? Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Not at all. First of all, I don’t even have Disney.
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t either.
SPEAKER 09 :
So there’s nothing for me to cancel.
SPEAKER 11 :
I got rid of it after Carano. Did they get rid of it after Carano? Because it’s all about free speech and stuff.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, no, they’re not consistent.
SPEAKER 11 :
Wait, these big free speech warriors, they didn’t get rid of Disney after Disney fired Gina Carano because she didn’t do a damn thing.
SPEAKER 09 :
What? The left’s not consistent?
SPEAKER 11 :
What? That’s why it’s so stupid. Also, why does Howard Stern increasingly look like my dear departed aunt? Like, every time I see a new photo of him, I’m like… Is that my dearly departed aunt? I don’t know. Like he does look like, you know, he looks like an old lady. Do you think it’s because he’s taken estrogen? Well, yeah, I mean that we could see that coming a mile away. But I’m just like he looks like an old cantankerous lady, right? Like somebody who has a who likes chain smoke cigarettes and stuff like one of those ladies. That’s what he looks like. Anyway, we got to get moving as we do. So our partners that help bring you the program, it’s our friends over at Patriot Mobile. This is such a great look. I saw them when we we went out because they went we went with them to the TP USA event. We got invited to go to the by the organization to go to the memorial. And we found out that Patriot Mobile, our friends, Glenn and his wife that own and operate Patriot Mobile were going to. So we all decided to go out there together. And I’m telling you, I think other people were having problems with their service. I didn’t. Because there were a lot of people on that bandwidth inside. I get it. This is just the only Christian conservative cell phone provider in the country. They partner, they were early partners with TPUSA. They were early supporters of Charlie’s Vision and big, big supporters. And they loved what he did. And they were very close to the organization. And they just provide the best access, the best service at the best price. But what’s more is that they’re not taking your hard-earned dollars and That you’re paying for when it comes to paying for your service and spending it on things like DEI and CRT and gun control and all of this stuff. They like I said, they’ve been working to support TPUSA and they work with supporting legislation, like, for instance, in Texas, the Senate Bill 240 backing legislation that protects women and girls in private spaces. They’ve helped empower parents who needed help taking over their school boards to protect their children’s education. They’ve been there through every major fight, Second Amendment, First Amendment, you name it. And you’re not paying more for all of this either, which is what’s also super stunning. I have a Cadillac playing. My whole family’s on it. And I actually pay less than what I did with my previous provider. And I’ve been I switched over 10 years ago. I switched to Patriot Mobile. I’ve been all over the world with this service never had an issue. And it takes just minutes to get switched and set up. If my mom can do it by herself at home, you can do it too. And that’s the thing at home. There’s no store visits. They have 100% US based customer service team. Look at just switched over and set up. You can keep your phone, keep your number get all new. And if you use promo code Dana, you get a free month of service on top of it. So visit patriot mobile.com slash Dana or call nine seven, two Patriot and make sure to use promo code Dana for that free month of service.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida, man.
SPEAKER 11 :
So a, uh, I’m not saying this. A teaching assistant charged after allegedly using a fecal spray at a high school. They’re claiming damages to the AC system. So it’s like, yeah, he had this spray. He was a teaching assistant who was arrested. He used this spray. poo spray to create a foul odor at a South Carolina high school. 32-year-old teaching assistant allegedly sprayed it to imitate fecal matter while at school multiple times. He acquired it online. People apparently had to seek medical attention and had respiratory issues. And then they had to spend $55,000 to inspect its AC and look at damages. So he’s charged with disturbing schools and malicious property. Okay, here’s the big thing. Why? Why did he do it? I need to know this because I, um, I, I’ve seen like videos on Instagram where they spray them into this, like inflatable costumes. And then, you know, everybody laughs. Yeah. So, uh, they said that they’re still investigating the situation, but it’s been two days. So you can’t come on. Why? They said it like really disrupted. None of the articles I’m seeing there. They just, I guess, was he doing it to be a jerk? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
I was a kid. We used to, uh, play with that stuff. I mean, it’s just way worse.
SPEAKER 11 :
Did you send anyone to the hospital?
SPEAKER 09 :
No, nobody was whining.
SPEAKER 11 :
A Florida man shot a bear that was, a lot of bear stories, hiding in his shower. It was an actual bear animal. A central Florida man came face to face with a home intruder, but it was a bear. It was in his shower. It was hiding in his shower. And he literally said that he thought there was an intruder in his bathroom. He was panicking. His dogs were barking. The bear ran into the bathroom and got into the shower and was literally hiding there. And he thought it took him a second to to figure out what was happening. But he shot the bear. And unfortunately, the bear did not make it Florida Fish and Wildlife. They said, be vigilant. Don’t leave food out, et cetera, et cetera. But I mean, the bear was in his shower, went into his house and hit his shower. This is not like a case of camping. Stick with us. We got our third hour on the way.
SPEAKER 02 :
Pine-jarring is that there are so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they’re willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress honoring his life and legacy. It is one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustbin of history. And we should hopefully move on.
SPEAKER 11 :
And should your citizenship here in the United States, it should also be in the dustbin of history. That’s Ilhan Omar, who whenever… She has the opportunity to be a decent human and not a yelping dog. She chooses the dog. It’s fascinating. That’s an insult to dogs. I’m sorry, dogs. Welcome back to the program, Being a Lash, top of this third hour. Do you know, when you think about her personality, just demonic views she’s a nasty person she’s just a nasty piece of work she never has anything nice to say about anybody i mean you know the fact that she had to marry her brother to even cheat to get citizenship uh or to even get in the united states is insane uh and the fact that she used her campaign money to help facilitate the divorce and all of this other stuff oh she did that’s why she had to pay a fine for all of that i don’t know if people are actually familiar with that there are receipts there that’s why this is said so often because it’s true it’s not a joke it’s actually true And I think the sentiment that she states and what I have heard, you know, a lot of these college campuses that TPUSA went to, she just seems like she was just very, she never liked the group. And Charlie never said anything controversial, except if you consider scripture controversial. He was, again, the nice one. But I was thinking about all of this in context with the pressure that foreign money plays into all of these colleges and universities across the country. Did you know that the biggest funder to American universities is Qatar? Billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars they have given. And it’s interesting because if you look at where all the money, which I’m looking at now, if you look at where all they give their money is, It’s very interesting that that’s where all like, for instance, you know, the protests where they were going after all the Jewish students. It’s kind of interesting that those were the universities where they got the most money from Qatar. I’m just saying it just could be Kane. I’m sure a total coincidence. It’s and there are a lot of things that have been written about this. And it’s not just Qatar. China is as well. But Qatar is the biggest donor of two American universities. And so allow that. to kind of sit in your head for a little bit when you are wondering, why is it that all of this stuff, like with the anti-Semitic protests, where they actually were targeting people for being Jewish, they weren’t like, well, we disagree with the Israeli government. They can’t even tell you how it’s structured. They just were mad because of, to Jews, that’s it. But, Think about how that really got kicked off and why it seems like it was expedited to this point. And then look at all the money that these companies or these countries have been pouring in. China and Qatar, they’ve poured just over the past few years. It’s been like $29 billion. $29 billion. Foreign donors have given as much to American universities, just like in the last handful of years, as they did in the last… Like in the last four years, they’ve given as much as they did in the last four decades. So take four decades and condense it down into four years. There is an absolute… I mean, an explosion of foreign money on campuses. Qatar is the largest source. And all of these donations to these campuses, all of this started to get reported like in the 80s. They have given over $6 billion. China’s $2.3 billion. The Saudis are like way below. But I mean, Qatar is the largest source of all of this foreign money to these campuses. Now, the second largest source of foreign funding is China. So I told you that Qatar, 6.3 billion and counting. China is 5.6 billion and counting. And just like you saw with Qatar, the donations from China have exploded over the past several years. And Again, the universities where you saw all of the upheaval, where you couldn’t even have TPUSA go on campus hardly, the Harvards, the Columbias. Oh, guess who? Those are the ones that get the most money from China and Qatar. In fact, every single one of these universities that you have seen in the headlines where the students are like rioting or they’re protesting to the extent where it’s not safe for conservative speakers to even leave the campus and they have to hide in janitorial closets. Those are all the campuses that have received tons. Those are all the universities that have tons of Qatari and Chinese money. Oh, it’s a fact. The receipts are out. Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Stanford, Columbia, Harvard, lots of them. Why? Because it’s soft power. It’s to build soft power. They’re expanding their influence. If you don’t think it’s a NatSec issue, I’ll remind you, every single revolution started in academia. You could even argue French Revolution started in academia. The color revolution in China started in academia. Russia, academia. Germany in the 30s, academia. Started on college campuses. Every single time. Because you have minds that are easily influenced. And there is a huge effort to continue that trend here in the United States. That’s why you’ve been seeing an increase in all of this stuff on college campuses, because there are absolutely outside sources that are funding it. They like the division. They like the hostility spreading on college campuses. And just like in every other nation where this has happened, it goes from there. So now it becomes a national security issue. I had someone say, well, it really isn’t. Tell that to China. Because their communist revolution started in their campuses and took over their entire country. And now look. Tell that to 1930s Germany. Tell it to Russia with the Bolsheviks. I mean, dare I go on? It’s without exception. So these… This influence is… I mean, and the Qataris, they’re all ramping up their donations. We’re going to talk a little bit about this to Stephen Yates as well. But it’s interesting to note the Free Press had a piece where Harvard didn’t comply with Section 117 of the Higher Education Act. They were trying to not disclose all of this foreign financial funding. That seems sketch to the point where it wasn’t just like an over – it wasn’t just like someone just – forgot accidentally it wasn’t just mere oversight it was purposeful and that this is one of the things that the administration is doing they are looking at these connections between foreign money and the increasing violence and etc that’s happening on college campuses It’s not just the Soros stuff. It’s these foreign countries that would like to sow division. It’s very Sun Tzu. If you can sow division within your opponent, you don’t even need to do anything because your opponent will divide in half and fight itself. That’s exactly the design. It’s a soft power move. And that’s why it’s a national security issue. I don’t even know why I mean, and this is just me just speculating, but why are these universities allowed to accept money from foreign governments? Why? It’s not like Harvard needs it. Their endowment is billions of dollars. Why are they accepting or allowed to accept money from foreign governments? I’m not even talking about, oh, here’s a charitable group. in United Arab Emirates. We’re going to donate. No, no, no. It’s like literally the Qatari government. Why are universities allowed to accept money from foreign governments? And you know that they come with strings attached. This is a giant question. And then Berkeley, for instance, remember Berkeley, where you had all of those riots and protests and all this stuff break out. Kane, if you had to guess how much money they had that they got recently with a partnership with the communist Chinese government, literally from China’s government, how much would you guess?
SPEAKER 09 :
I would say a hundred million or more.
SPEAKER 11 :
Double it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Seriously.
SPEAKER 11 :
Double it and then go up a little bit.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. Good Lord.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. Yeah. Here’s the funny thing. Berkeley refused to report it. The Daily Beast, actually, I can’t even believe I’m citing the Daily Beast, which is what the world’s come to. They had their headline. This was from May of 23. Berkeley’s $220 million mistake exposed in a massive deal with China. So they were trying to get ahead of it and frame it as a mistake. But the people that were investigating the failure to disclose, they didn’t really think it was a mistake because they found other purposeful, questionably purposeful omissions. Interesting, yes. So there’s a lot of questions to be asked here. And all of this comes together. I was thinking about all of this over this weekend, especially now that people are talking about approaching campus debates and campus events differently in light of security. That I think that right there is the front line. Those college campuses are the front line. And I’m just, you know, I’m curious. I’d be curious to look at money going into that Utah Valley College. Go and look and see all of these universities where the students have gotten more and more agitated and progressive. And it completely corresponds with the massive amount of donations that they get from foreign governments. I’m just saying there is enough there to not only beg the question, but pose a legitimate one. Not even assuming the premise is true. Now you can actually question whether or not it is. It’s not even begging the question anymore. It’s a legit question. This administration is going to have to get around this. One other quick thing. We’re talking about some of the media malpractice, if we have time to do this. I was shocked at the way I had posted this. I think I had tweeted about it online, but I was looking at the situation with the media. So first up, you had this NBC piece, and this had to do with this… Gosh, if I can get our Wi-Fi to work, it’d be great. This had to do… We’re just waiting for it to load. Sorry, just doing a live radio show. We’re going to wait for the Wi-Fi to load. So this had to do with this Sky Meadow Country Club shooting. Witnesses were saying that the killer was screaming, free Palestine, before he fired upon country club event attendees. And the witnesses were telling the local news, and there’s video of it, that the guy was saying, free Palestine, free Palestine. He was saying he was screaming it. That sounded like a pretty targeted attack, I think. Correct? I mean, that’s what it sounds like. Here’s what NBC did. NBC had a whole piece. Let me pull this up. a whole entire piece where they refused to admit or refused to report on the fact that the killer had screamed free Palestine or that witnesses were telling local media that the killer was screaming it. In their piece, NBC didn’t touch on it at all. They reported it like, oh, some guy did something. Cover up.
SPEAKER 09 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 11 :
So, a Macon woman admits to using her employer’s money to play business as slot machines. It’s the average worker in today’s workforce. I’m bored already by this story. Let’s see. Oh, here’s this. Let’s do this. This is an Iowa town. So in Iowa, the Jessup Police Department issued a statement regarding harassment from toilet papering people’s houses and that. Now the police department says TPing is banned. Anyone caught doing it will face legal charges, etc., And that they said that it’s effective immediately. There’s zero. I just think it’s perfectly good waste of toilet paper. It is kind of a pain to clean up. I’ve never had, you know, I’ve only, I’ve never actually done it to anyone or had it done. I did help spork someone’s yard though. Um,
SPEAKER 09 :
I never realized how well off we were back in the day. We’re just throwing toilet paper and eggs everywhere.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right? Did we joke about this during COVID? Oh, my gosh. Just don’t let your kids do that. It’s a waste of resources, and it’s annoying. Okay? Just don’t. A traveler was caught with human remains at the Tampa airport. When they asked him what he was going to do with it, he said it’s for rituals. Woo-hoo. Halloween. U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Tampa. It was a skull. And what’s gross is it was all wrapped in foil. Oh, can’t. It’s so gross. It was all wrapped in foil. And he told officers that the items were for rituals. And due to it being gross and nasty, they I mean, yes, health risks and all that, but just totally grody. They seize them and destroy them. Wow. Who thinks they’re going to walk through TSA? Oh, here’s my skulls and bones. What is the matter with you? Our friend Steven Yates joins us next.
SPEAKER 01 :
Today I can confirm that at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September, Australia will recognise the state of Palestine. Australia will recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own, predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority. We will work with the international community to make this right a reality.
SPEAKER 11 :
So the entity that is expected to give the assurances is an entity that is so scared of being taken over by Hamas that they suspended elections in 2021. Because after Hamas won back in, what was it, 07, those elections, they took over Gaza Strip. Their popularity surged even more so in West Bank. And they were expected to take control. both territories, and their popularity is still through the roof. They suspended the elections in 21, and then they turned around and blamed Israel by saying, well, we can’t just be sure that people there are going to be able to come out and vote, which was a lie. It was a scapegoat to hide the fact that they completely lost control. So when I hear these foreign leaders say, well, you know, the Palestinian Authority is going to give us these assurances, they can’t even assure themselves. Joining us on this and a Yates, comms, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He joins us via video. Good to see you, my friend. I mean, I don’t think anything’s changed since 2021, has it? I mean, if anything, by estimation, Hamas’s popularity seems to have grown.
SPEAKER 17 :
Dana, this is a painful story. I mean, the one thing that should have changed since that time is that we passed a sobriety checkpoint somewhere along the way. And this delusional, destructive, lefty weirdo comment about we’re going to recognize these people. This buffoon masquerading as a prime minister of a formerly respectful country said, Can’t even say where are the territorial boundaries of this mysterious state you are recognizing. What is this demographic population statistics? What is their currency? What is the military that’s going to be securing the sovereignty that you are recognizing in this? And of course, since this is, of course, a deeply strategic, principled point of view, and you’re concerned about an oppressed Muslim community, you must be recognizing the independent state of East Turkestan, where there is a recognized genocide by China against Uyghurs there. And of course, because this is a deeply principled, strategic and realistic approach to foreign policy, you’re recognizing the independence of the state of Taiwan against further threat from China, which is all much closer to Australia, which your people have much more material economic ties with. And so this is disgusting on any number of levels. And worst of all, it doesn’t feed a single gazan. It doesn’t increase the chances of peace at all. This is virtue signaling with no virtue.
SPEAKER 11 :
You have the UK. Well, you have you have England. Now you have Canada that are coming out saying that we’re Keir Starmer said, oh, yes, we’re going to affirm the right. What is this? I don’t understand what this affirmation of this state based on a made up name from an old dead Roman emperor. What that has to what does it get them? What does it accomplish?
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I mean, the Brits really got a thank you very much in the form of, since you’re going to recognize us, how about you pay reparations for the decades that you were our ruler? And so that is, as my dad might have said, a fine how do you do in exchange for this political sop in their direction. What it really is, is trying to pretend as if They’re smarter and more virtuous than President Trump in trying to negotiate and hold peace. But what they’re really doing is undermining any incentive for hostages to be released and a ceasefire to be honored. And what they’re doing is empowering the low-grade terrorism that occasionally rears its nasty evil head that comes out of that region.
SPEAKER 11 :
It seems to me that the fanaticism seen early on in the aughts with the ascension to power by Hamas and it’s the spread of its influence in that region, that that’s going to be the de facto ruling ideology. Because from everything that I’ve seen, and maybe I’m wrong here, but I don’t see any other faction getting close to having Hamas’s influence. And so we’re I mean, the way I look at it is these countries are legitimizing a terrorist organization that basically controls the PA.
SPEAKER 17 :
I think that’s what they’re doing, but I think it’s even worse than that. I think they’re empowering terrorist mobs in their own countries. And what this is is less foreign policy as it is defeatist and I think destructive politics in their own countries. And so this has less to do with facts on the ground, which I think we can easily dismiss as this doesn’t feed anyone. This doesn’t make peace. What this is, is trying to beg for peace from a merciless, violent mob in their own country that their own policies have enabled.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s a great point. Talking with our friend Stephen Yates, who you can find on X at Yatescoms. I have a couple of things I wanted to ask you about, especially getting into some of this TikTok and the Trump G meeting. But I wanted to ask you really quickly, we were talking a little bit ago about the biggest donors to American universities and Qatar and China, one and two, which is so weird because Qatar is such a tiny little country, but they’ve donated like over $6 billion. Like in the past 40 years, it’s been what all condensed into four years of spending what would normally take them 40 years to do. China has also increased. Obviously, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that all of the universities where all of the riots and all of the Well, right. So it’s not even a peaceful protest. All of the bad stuff have been all of the campuses, all of the universities that receive all of this money. And we were talking about Berkeley who got in major trouble for not disclosing that they got all of this money from the CCP and they were trying to hide it. And the Daily Beast actually broke that story. Why is that allowed? Am I I’m all about freedom and all of that. But at the same time, I really don’t we don’t need communist China or Qatar donating billions of dollars to universities because those are strings on that.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, well, first, I just can’t let past that all of the ideologues and demagogues of the left really can’t sit idly by. Those private jets won’t fly themselves and those laboratories won’t run themselves. And so they allow one of the richest fossil fuel benefiting countries to fund them and one of the most successful fossil fuel burning countries to donate to them to allow their lives to continue. so on top of it all there is a mountain of wreaking hypocrisy on all of this but i do think it’s time to step back and say why are universities so expensive and what exactly are they producing that is of value to society our country and to the poor customers that go through uh and i i really think that all this money pouring in, yeah, people, if you have the money, they’ll find a way to spend it, and boy, have they, but they’re not producing better outcomes. At best, what these other countries are getting is maybe some hard sciences going back to their country, but it’s not as if we are producing genius citizens going through these processes, and we are definitely generating huge pass-through debts for those graduates. So I think it’s high time to start thinking about the American pupil first and the American net value dividend in this first before going down the road of foreign contributions.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, exactly. Oh, I hope that that comes to I hope that that comes to realization. The US is going to complete the tick tock deal in the coming days and control the algorithm. Is this enough for you? Do you think I mean, because I consider you the good gauge as to whether or not anything revolve involving China is decent and acceptable. What say you on this?
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, I guess some would say I’m an extremist. I can’t believe that with all the wealth and expertise and tools that we have in this country, that someone in America with our own technology and wealth hasn’t created an equally evil and intoxicating and addictive app that could lure people at least away from the commie-fueled one. And I just can’t get past that first speed bump in the conversation. I do have a lot of grace I would give the administration the sense that where things were before was dangerous and unacceptable. And if this deal plays out as advertised, I think it’s net progress. But I will still have some concerns or questions. I mean, how can an egghead like me know whether the algorithm is completely hived off? How will we really know whether the foreign influence doesn’t just shift to indirect instead of direct and obvious? And so I think there’s still a lot to answer in all of this. I really hope that just like we had a national conversation about the centrality of faith being part of American revival, I hope that breaking addiction to handheld devices is another way we try to save the souls, the minds, and the productivity of our next generation. And all of these things are part of that. But the least we should agree on is icing out any strategic adversary from ownership or control. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction, but I have no way to really know until it’s done.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, and I think that’s – I completely – I agree with everything you said. I just – I mean, I don’t have anything else to add to it. I think it’s just all – I’m like, I’m not going to wait. I’m not going to make a determination about this issue until I talk to Stephen Yates. Our last thing, South Korea, apparently this is going to be the – This is interesting. Why are they going to be the venue for the Trump-Xi sit-down?
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, the grand strategy behind that is that the members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation rotate the hosting, except for one. One member is never allowed to host. And I bet you can get it right away. And it happens to be the economy, in air quotes, known as Taiwan.
SPEAKER 11 :
I was going to say, does it run with Shumai Wan? Yeah.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, they’re not allowed to host. But everyone else is supposed to take turns. And I don’t think every single member has taken a turn, but maybe. I could be wrong on that. But this is just luck of the draw that it came around to Korea’s time to host. And it always comes in the late October or sometime in November timeframe. Usually there are leader meetings that will take place and ministerial meetings where foreign ministers will get together, and then there should be economic talks since it’s, after all, an economic gathering. This started in 1993 in Seattle, and it’s just kind of had an inertia of its own. It’s sort of like the UN General Assembly in a way where the meeting itself is one thing, but it’s the side meetings and bilaterals that are the opportunity to do things. And so in a way, I always thought this made sense as a time of opportunity. I take it as a signal from the administration That the deal making is not ripe enough to justify a standalone visit to China, which actually gives me some solace because I have grave doubts about the follow through by any big deal by China. I’d like to see them maybe stop sending fentanyl precursors into the United States before we make some kind of a deal. But that’s just me.
SPEAKER 11 :
No, I agree with that. I agree with that also. I agree with everything you’re saying. You’re just the perfect guest. Our good friend. He’s never wrong. Our good friend, Stephen Yates at Yatescoms on X. We’re going to be watching that meeting with great interest. And I can’t wait to talk with you after. Good to see you, my friend. Have a great week. God bless you.
SPEAKER 17 :

SPEAKER 18 :
The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color. And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was specifically to us and I can tell you that a month prior to him passing away, he had actually gotten out on his podcast. I wasn’t aware of this at the time, but he got out there and he was talking negatively about me directly. So if there was any way that I was going to honor somebody who decided that they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement. Yeah, I’m not honoring that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER 11 :
First of all, none of that’s true. Secondly, you know, do as Jesus said in the Gospels, only like people who like you. Is that what it says? Totes what it says, man. I don’t think so. Yeah, totes what it says. I mean, in Jasmine Crockett’s Bible, anyway. Only like be nice and stuff to people who are like nice and stuff to you. That’s, you know, that’s what it says. Matthew 11 and a half. in there I mean first off he didn’t pass away yeah He didn’t pass away. He was assassinated, number one. She did this on Sunday, which is why we’re talking yesterday, guys. That’s why we’re talking about it right now. That’s first. Number two, he criticized her lack of doing anything. And he only ever criticized her policies and her inability to actually sponsor legislation. So notice how she’s like, well, he was just talking negatively about me. Okay, well, I do too. But that doesn’t mean that someone should be executed for it. And it doesn’t mean that you can’t be. He disagreed with you. She doesn’t. She’s not smart enough to disagree with him just on simple premise. She has to take it and get dirty and lie about him. He never said anything like that. In fact, there’s tons of video out there contrary to that. But she’s not a good faith dealer, which is why she’s one of the reasons why I’m so ecstatic that she’s redistricted out, because I think she brings the IQ quotient. I think she brings the whole intelligence quotient of the Democrat Party down a couple points. And while I don’t like them, I don’t want them to be so stupid that you cannot persuade some of them to come and vote properly. So that being said, just ridiculous. Can we do a flashback real quick? This is for all the people screaming about free speech as it pertains to the FCC, which I’ve addressed a million times as to why I disagree with their premises on that. Where were these people for this little audio soundbite with what Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan? Listen.
SPEAKER 07 :
these people from the biden administration would call up our team and like scream at them and curse and it’s like these documents are it’s all kind of out there did you record any of those phone calls i don’t know i don’t think i don’t think we were but but i think i want to listen i mean there are emails the emails are published it’s all it’s all kind of out there and um and they’re like And basically, it just got to this point where we were like, no, we’re not going to we’re not going to take down things that are true. That’s ridiculous. They want us to take down this meme of Leonardo DiCaprio looking at a TV talking about how 10 years from now or something, you know, you’re going to see an ad that says, OK, if you took a covid vaccine, you’re eligible, you know, like for for this kind of payment, like sort of like.
SPEAKER 11 :
class action lawsuit type meme and they’re like no you have to take that down that’s the meme where Leonardo DiCaprio was in the chair with a drink pointing at the television and it was one of the final scenes in uh oh Hollywood the um the movie he did with Brad Pitt Oh my gosh. I’m dying right now. Hold up, hold up.
SPEAKER 09 :
But it is the class action lawsuit ad.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, it was an ad for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. So it was one of the last scenes in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He sees something on TV and he leans up in the recliner and he’s pointing at it. So it was that meme. That’s what Zuckerberg was talking about. The admin actually was trying to bully them into… deleting things so they’re free speech warriors kane today’s stupidity i’m so sorry i ran long it was jasmine crockett but uh why be redundant i’ll give you more time yeah i’ll give you more more time i won’t rob you tomorrow folks that does it for us today find us at sub stack sign up youtube facebook like and subscribe back with you tomorrow 200 000 subscribers
