Dana also takes time to reflect on the budgetary cuts proposed to combat the massive federal deficit, emphasizing waste and fraud within government spending. Amidst this backdrop, Gabriel Iglesias brings levity with a promotional tour, and special guests dive into Second Amendment rights with a focus on recent Supreme Court decisions affecting ghost guns. This multi-layered episode provides listeners with spirited debates, a few moments of entertainment, and thoughtful commentary on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
SPEAKER 16 :
Liberty Nation with Mark Angelides.
SPEAKER 07 :
Questions abound regarding Tesla terrorism, the Signal scandal, Tim Walz’s grand tour, and Bernie and AOC trying to make socialism great again? And we’ve got the answers to all those conundrums on Liberty Nation Radio.
SPEAKER 16 :
Author, columnist, managing editor of LibertyNation.com. Podcast host and conservative policy advocate. We dismiss history at our peril. Liberty Nation with Mark Angelides.
SPEAKER 05 :
What are the budgetary savings goals and how much do you think you’ve achieved so far?
SPEAKER 23 :
Our goal is to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars. So from a nominal deficit of two trillion to try to cut the deficit in half to one trillion, or looked at it in total federal spending to drop the federal spending from seven trillion to six trillion. So sort of at a high level, You should think of this as we want to reduce the spending by eliminating waste and fraud, reduce the spending by 15%, which seems really quite achievable. The government is not efficient, and there’s a lot of waste and fraud, so we feel confident that a 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services.
SPEAKER 26 :
Cue the weeping and gnashing of teeth of the people who think that you’re stealing from them by giving more of your own money back. I want to make sure that I have that right, because that’s what it is. You’re stealing from the people if, according to the left, if you are giving money back and saving money. I’m not quite sure how that works in the grand scheme of things. It doesn’t seem like it would. It seems a little nonsensical, but that’s What they’re accusing him of, and they’re accusing him of pillaging. In fact, actually, I actually think that that word has been used before. They think that he’s pillaging some magical coffers. I love how, especially as it relates to Social Security, and I love how… People are optimistic enough to believe that somewhere deep in the, I don’t know, what would be a social security administration’s building or the treasury? There’s like a little, a little, I don’t want to, it’s like a pyramid. I don’t know, something big building. You got to dive into the gold bullions that are stored in it. Like Scrooge McDuck. Just think of it like Scrooge McDuck. They think that all of our money is somewhere deep within the vaults of the nation’s capital. And that that is where our money is in that Elon Musk and big balls are going in there and they’re stealing all our money from that vault. There are people who are optimistic enough. God love them. that they believe this stuff. Now, I don’t, because I think Social Security is a giant Ponzi scheme, because it is. I think it because it is. By the way, my friend Carol Roth, our friend, tweeted just that very thing, saying that it was a… Now, I said that on CNN 10 years ago, and people called for me to be fired. Well, not 10 years ago. It was 8 years ago. No, not 8 years ago. A few years ago, when I was the token over there, before they started hiring other conservatives to abuse… I mean, they were very angry. And so I feel really vindicated now as a result of that. But that’s what he’s talking about. He’s just, you know, he’s talking about how there’s so much that actually people are worried about, oh, are we going to be able to fund these services, Medicaid, Medicare, et cetera. And They think that somehow, you know, even even holding government accountable. Me, I just can’t believe that that’s such a big psyop that Democrats have been able to successfully convince people of over all of these years. Right. Welcome to the show. Happy Friday to you. And Dana Lash with you at the top of this very humid Friday in Texas. It’s so humid. Kane and I are currently going through a process. known as situational evolution, where we are currently developing gills. Because it’s so hot in here. I almost can’t function. I’m a lizard. I can’t function like this. It’s too humid. I feel like there’s perspiring happening because it’s so humid outside. Anyway, it’s Friday. You guys are in that Friday malaise. I get it. Because everybody gets there. Especially after the weeks and weeks and weeks that we have. And I feel like nobody’s going to get a break either as we roll towards midterms. But anyway, this is one of the top things. We’ve got this investigation, this ongoing investigation of more of these Tesla attacks. And they had, let me pull this up, the FBI getting involved. Obviously, the FBI has been involved. They’re investigating all of this. Here’s the thing, though. You have a Democrat out of New York. What’s this feller’s name? Don, or no, sorry, Daniel Goldman. Representative Daniel Goldman, a Democrat out of New York. He’s claiming that the FBI investigating attacks on Tesla’s cars and facilities is. If you had to fill in a Mad Libs like blank, what would you say? The FBI investigating attacks on Tesla cars and facilities.
SPEAKER 15 :
Terrorism.
SPEAKER 26 :
Like they’re viewing it as that? Yeah. Now remember, this is according to Democrat Representative Daniel Goldman.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 26 :
No, no, no. I’m just reminding people. So do you believe that the FBI investigating the attacks on Tesla, that they’re looking at it like terrorism, right? I think so. I mean, that’s what I would think. That’s what Pam Bondi thinks.
SPEAKER 15 :
Makes sense to me.
SPEAKER 26 :
Not Representative Daniel Goldman. No. He, in fact, thinks that… It is, quote, the political weaponization of the DOJ and that it is lawfare. He’s saying, and I feel like this is a talking point that some of the base are trying to push through. He is saying that it is nothing but political warfare and lawfare. It’s the weaponization of what? So in order to hold such a viewpoint. Representative Goldman out of New York would have to think that what these people are doing is acceptable, an acceptable form of speech, expression, etc. He would have to think it’s acceptable. And he’s definitely not of that persuasion. And he’s not the only Democrat that’s trying to intimate that somehow this isn’t a weaponization policy. I know of the Department of Justice and the FBI going after these people. Again, you only believe that and you only come to that conclusion if you think that what is happening is in any way considered protected speech. And it’s clearly not. I’m amazed at this, but this is this is like what they’ve I feel like this is how they’re trying to rewrite some of this. They’re trying to rewrite some of this into that. Well, if you’re looking at this and you’re investigating it, then it’s considered lawfare. I would consider it lawfare to not investigate it. I think that’s that’s kind of my whole take on this. Right. I mean, you’re. This is law and order. You can’t go and shoot up a Tesla dealership. Hey, I got a question. It’s Friday. So, you know, my Friday thoughts are kind of a repository of everything that’s happened this week. So I have a question. So were these the same people that were mad over J6? What did they say about J6? Mr. Cain, what did these people say about J6? They thought it was dangerous and terrorist, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
Attack on democracy.
SPEAKER 26 :
But they’re okay with the Tesla terrorism. Oh, yeah. But wait a minute. No J6er brought a gun to the Capitol. The only person that was killed was someone who was protesting. No cops were killed. They’ve lied about it. Shame on those people. But here with the Tesla attacks, they are bringing guns to dealerships. They are keying cars. They’re setting cars on fire, dealerships on fire.
SPEAKER 15 :
Destroying other people’s property.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah, destroying other people’s property. Not like taxpayer property, but like their private property. Yeah. So am I to assume now, and they really don’t want to be in this position, am I to assume now that the left believes that That nobody did anything wrong on January 6th? Because you can’t hold two opposing views of this simultaneously.
SPEAKER 15 :
Have you met the left?
SPEAKER 26 :
Oh, it was just horrifying. I needed therapy after meeting the left.
SPEAKER 15 :
They do often hold two positions.
SPEAKER 26 :
Because they have to be right all the time. Yeah. The left really wants to be right all the time. There’s such a selfishness that motivates their whole ideological bent. It’s this worship of self. They must not ever be wrong. They must be right all the time. That’s their that’s that’s the whole thing. The political weaponization of the DOJ. Goldman tweeted that Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor. I just can’t even get through this tweet. You know what this is? It’s three sentences and I can’t get through it. Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s literally another way of saying Republicans pounce, Republicans seize.
SPEAKER 26 :
Oh, completely.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s just another way of saying the same tired line that they’ve always been saying.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yes. I don’t know. I mean, they had one guy who set himself on fire after he accidentally, well, accidentally, he threw a Molotov cocktail. This is how you know you’re a bad terrorist. 24-year-old Daniel Clark Pounder. Watch out, Clarks. Sorry. Is it too early in the day for that? He set himself on fire after throwing a Molotov cocktail. But as Jonathan Turley noted, that doesn’t change criminal intent. Let me share the story of this genius. This anti-Musk activist. This is so stupid. This sounds like an SNL skit. He set himself on fire by accident. Because he was he scrawled blank Trump long live Ukraine. Oh, actually, he wrote long live the Ukraine, which tells me that he’s an idiot who actually doesn’t know anything about Ukraine because you don’t say the Ukraine. You just say Ukraine. I love these posers that get out there and they act like this is their their their issue, their their calling card. But then they’re like the Ukraine like that’s a great red flag right there. I’m not saying it to be snotty. I’m saying it like you would say it when the left messes up firearm terminology. You know, I mean, different things come into play here. Anyway, according to prosecutors, he burned down three EV chargers, was targeting Tesla stuff, and he set himself on fire. And one of the witnesses saw him fleeing. This is one of the local affiliates out there, the local ABC affiliate. And they said the suspect accidentally caught their own back on fire while throwing the Molotov cocktail. He was arrested. They don’t know how badly hurt he was. That’s the level of brain trust you’re dealing with here. But Democrats have been just like outright dismissing all of this stuff. I would love to compare the sentencing of the Molotov cocktail lawyers in New York. Remember those attorneys? Let me pull this one up. Jonathan Turley wrote a huge thing on these. These two attorneys, the activist entered into a plea agreement. I think they’re only going to get a couple of years jail time. They pled guilty to a count of possessing and making an explosive device. That’s supposed to be 10 years in prison. But they were able to finagle it to where they’re only going to serve a couple of years. How long has some of those J6ers been in jail out of curiosity? A lot. These two actually were, these two attorneys were, I mean, literally going to, they were engaging in terrorism. And they pled guilty to this conspiracy. And this all happened, of course, after the George Floyd stuff. Use ramen and Colinford Mattis. And they had filled a chemical fill. They put chemicals in a glass bottle and they were throwing it into police vehicles in Brooklyn. This was in 2020. Remember, and then that all busted out. They got they got lighter sentences than people who just entered the Capitol. Not kidding. So what does Goldman want to discuss when he discusses lawfare and political weaponization? Because I’m literally made of examples of that happening to the right. Happy to educate. We have a lot more on the way. We have headlines coming up. Also later on in the show, our good friend Stephen Hallbrook is going to join us. He is like the Second Amendment attorney of Second Amendment attorneys. We’re going to discuss the SCOTUS decision on ghost guns because I have a lot of questions that I need an expert to answer. And then later on, One of my dear friends from the Runaways, the girl band, the punk girl band of all girl bands, Cherie Curry. She’s going to be joining us as well because the left, she kind of had some words for Nancy Wilson. Remember her? Or Ann Wilson. I think it was Ann Wilson. No, no, Nancy. Guitar player Nancy. Cameron Crowe married to Nancy. Yeah, she had some harsh words for Nancy Wilson after Nancy Wilson started attacking conservative voters.

SPEAKER 26 :
Only one of the greatest bumper tracks by one of the best 80s bands ever, Simple Minds, who are also coming to Dallas, Texas, I might note. And you know that they did not like that song. That was not one of their favorite songs that appeared in that Brett Pack movie. Yeah. All right. A tragedy at a hockey game. This is wild. A goaltender killed after being hit in the chest by a puck. An adult league hockey game earlier this week in Florida, a 64-year-old died. He died after he was just accidentally, it was like they weren’t trying to kill him, hit in the chest with a puck while he was making a save. He was playing goaltender for the Kraken Bears at the Community First Igloo. I mean, it almost sounds like a show. Jacksonville, Florida, when he was hit during a game against the Fireballs, per the sheriff’s office. They said he had a feeling of being unwell and he exited the game, according to the Miami Herald. He collapsed later in the stands. Nearby witnesses jumped in to perform CPR until the first responders arrived. He was still in his hockey uniform when they took him to the hospital, but he didn’t make it. They pronounced him dead. The man was pronounced dead at about 11.20 local time. That’s just heartbreaking. I mean, that’s just… You go out and have… Jeez, that kind of that’s the scary thing. That’s the scary thing. Also, I’m so glad that Yolanda Salivar can die in jail because she was up for parole yesterday. You know, she is the person who killed Selena Quintanilla and she was up for parole. Wasn’t it the first time in 30 years? And she was denied. And one of the reasons apparently they don’t think that she was remorseful enough. And I don’t think she was. If you ever watched an interview with that murderer. Oh, my goodness. We have more in store coming up. Don’t go anywhere. It’s our partners over at All Family Pharmacy. A great website.

SPEAKER 02 :
We got a lot of tools in this toolbox. Again, President Trump’s a game changer. We got illegal immigration on board down 96% because of the policies of the Trump administration. And we got, let’s say, a record number of criminals. We still got a lot more to do in the interior, but we got the right team put together. This is the greatest team I’ve seen in my… Over 40 years serving as a special agent, I’ve never seen a team this serious about making this country safe. We got a great president. He’s got a great team. So I wake up every day like a kid in a candy shop getting ready to go to work. I know we’re making a difference every day.
SPEAKER 26 :
The way that the media was trying to process his quote here, they were saying, oh, he loves, he likes to, somebody said, because it’s on the audio list, is deporting illegals, you know, people who enter the country illegally. But I saw one, I think it was on Memorandum, where they were saying Tom Homan is excited about deporting migrants or deporting just basic immigrants, just basic, like he’s just randomly going and getting people who are lawfully here. And you don’t hate these people enough. You really do not. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’ll see more and more of it. It’s just it’s just so weird to have it happening now because right. People forever were saying it’s going to happen. And now, at least with the border, it’s going to happen. And already they’re seeing a lot of they said that there’s an uptick in illegal entry now back into Mexico and going into Canada.
SPEAKER 1 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 26 :
Interesting. Interesting. I’ve got more stuff to hit, too. I’ve got to say, so our brother from Another Mother, Sergio, I guess he was too busy being cool because we were talking about Selena Quintanilla, and Kane was like, wait a minute, how did you, like, accusing me of Ozarking her last name? And we about damn near came to blows.
SPEAKER 15 :
You kind of.
SPEAKER 26 :
Okay, so first up, every now and then, and it usually happens like on a Friday end of the week, especially, you know, you get, because I don’t know, it’s a southern Missouri thing. And I, we’ve talked about this before, like I’ll say milk or pillow, and I will get emails from you all out there like, what are you doing? There’s an I in pillow. And I’m like… I just feel like I’m being fake. I feel like I’m being Alec Baldwin’s wife when I say pillow. It just is weird. How you say pillow? Cucumber. And with Warsh, I know there’s not an R in it, but I, again, feel like Hilaria, what is her name? Whatever, Hilarious Baldwin. I feel like Hilarious Baldwin when I say pillow. wash right how you say wash it’s just such a dumb word there needs to be a little extra in there you know i mean you like rolling r’s why don’t you like that r in there put an r in somewhere just randomly you know anyway so we were talking about that uh the i don’t want to say her name again the murderer selena’s murderer right how she came up for parole that devil woman her face a toll cane her eyes are black as coal she looks like a living snowman an evil one right And we were discussing it, and then Steve just shared with us the saddest story I think I’ve ever heard from anybody ever. He’s like, I was five years old. And it was the first documentary that he watched, and you saw how Yolanda killed her. I’ll say her name one time. How Selena’s murderer killed her. President of her fan club stealing from her. And Steve said that he was so sad watching it as a kid. And we all feel bad for Steve right now.
SPEAKER 15 :
He still has his first sad memory.
SPEAKER 26 :
No, he said it was like one of his first memories, and it’s a sad one.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s a sad one. I’ve gotten over it. It’s been 25 years. I’ve gotten over it.
SPEAKER 26 :
I don’t know. You sounded pretty convincing during that break.
SPEAKER 15 :
You were like, man, and I did not… See, it’s still with him. I did. I felt the angst. I don’t know about you. I felt it. Steve’s angst.
SPEAKER 26 :
Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah, I know. I thought, yeah, we were going to pray for him. Anyway, so he… We have to correct our brother from another mother because he was too busy being cool and popular. And he was questioning how we said the Queen of Tejano’s name. So I’m just, just for the record, Kane.
SPEAKER 15 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 26 :
Thank you. Thank you. I when she came out, I was in high school when she came out and I told Kane to late. I’m going to move on. But late at night on MTV, back when they played music videos, my girlfriends and I would be up and they would play like upcoming artists super late at night. And they had a video of hers that they played on MTV, like in the middle of the night. We’re like, who is this? And it was like a whole new world opened up. It was really neat. But yeah, that was I think every young girl knew who she was, regardless of which side of the border you were on. It was just that it was like one of those water cooler moments, right? Like how everybody knows what this person is. And it’s like, you know, everybody kind of was unified in opinions. All right. So I had to get that. I had to get that very important task. Off of off the plate. So this I wanted to bring this headline up and it’s going to seem kind of like like you’re going to sort of shrug and be like, why do I care? Why do I care about this? I’ll tell you why. But let me tell you the headline first. Andrew Cuomo is accusing the New York Attorney General Tish James of leaking salacious details of scandalous connection with aid. Now, Andrew Cuomo. Right. Remember, he already had to resign in shame. He already left in shame. So he was having an affair. He was having an affair with one of his staffers. And there were photos that came out. I think it was in 2021. And they were together at dinner. And they were doing all this other stuff. And it was pretty explosive at the time. Because this was… If you remember, he was… Supposed to be the golden boy. I think they would have run him in 2024. I think that they were going to run him. If I promise you, if Andrew Cuomo had not, if all of the COVID stuff hadn’t happened and everything else, he would have been the party’s nominee. And so he’s like trying to rehabilitate himself now, as you know, and he’s wanting to come back. He’s planning to, I mean, he’s dominating polls against Eric Adams for New York City mayor. And his former spokesperson, it was Melissa DeRosa, it was reported they had an emotionally intimate connection. This was like piling on when he was getting all this bad press. I think one of the reasons now he’s trying to settle this score is to get it out of the way because I think that he’s also pushing himself out there for 2028. Now he’s got baggage. It just depends on how he rehabilitates himself in the next several years and how he is able, if he’s able to convince other people. He’s going to have to come out kind of as a moderate. If you’ve seen any of his soundbites lately, he’s kind of doing what Newsom’s doing. He’s kind of moving to the center. But I don’t think he’s ever going to, he would never be able to run in 2020 at this point. But he’s trying to get to a point where he can be back in elected office, obviously. I mean, he doesn’t know what else to do with his life. So I think he’s trying to get this settled and get this out of the way so that he can get it behind him and they won’t be talking about it anymore when he does make his move. they’re trying to cobble together something, but they’re all over the place. They’re all over the place. But this, he’s, I don’t think he will ever be able to successfully run for POTUS. I don’t think he’s going to, that’s going to stop him from trying. I just think that the nursing home stuff during COVID was too big. Even if it only, even if it was just, and I think his people hope that maybe because it was just in New York, it’s not going to have lasting repercussions across the rest of the nation but that is a that’s a a sore that’s a that’s a still sore spot for a lot of americans a lot of americans i saw the other day i had tweeted about it uh someone on it was a lefty lawmaker congressional member that was going on about uh Getting over some of the stuff with COVID. Oh, yes, people got things wrong. It was this lefty lawmaker who tweeted this out, and it kind of made me mad. And I responded to it. But they were tweeting out that, yes, there were some people who were wrong about COVID in the, you know, back, you know, several years ago, because it’s been the five year anniversary now this month. And yes, everybody learned and we’re going to have to move on. And that angers me when I see the left dismiss all of that because they didn’t just hold a position. They demanded that you hold this position and that you hold yourself and your children inside of your homes and you withhold the ability to generate income from your employees. You couldn’t even collect rent. If you remember, the left even forced the CDC to stop property owners from collecting rent of the people who are renting their property so property owners not only had to pay all the property taxes but they had to pay for all of the utilities and everything for these people to live for free on their dime the cdc did that from these people on the left who are now trying to tell you to move on or how your kids missed out for two years on opportunities we have a whole generation coveted I heard women talking about it just the other day. I was sitting in myologist’s office and I heard two women talking about their older kids, how they were the COVID generation. They were graduating. They missed out on their graduations and their proms and a whole bunch of other stuff. And one of them had to go into med school late and all this. So it was just listening to the women talk. It was, I mean, that’s what the left did. That’s like a marker on the timeline. So, no, people can’t just move on. But I do feel like if they think that Andrew Cuomo is their best bet, they are going to try their best to downplay all of this so that you don’t hold it against the only prospective candidates they have really going into 2028. I’m just I can’t get over it. I had friends who had a sick parent in the hospital. And they had it was like an intensive care unit unit. And the parent had the curtain around one side and they had to close the door to their room and observe all of the whole stupid six feet and all that stuff. And my friends had to watch their father pass away from behind glass. And one of my friends is just to this day, it wrecks her. You try telling those people to get over that. Remember the video that was out showing a family at a funeral? And the widow, an elderly woman, was just kind of sitting all by herself. Everybody had to comically push their chairs apart from everybody. Now we know that. We knew at the time that it didn’t work, but we know now. At least it’s affirmed now. And this woman was bawling her husband of 50-something years. Passed away. And when one of her children went up to console her, they had someone from that nursing home, because they would lose their license, come and shoo that person away and make him go sit in the back and left that widow. You guys remember that video? That’s crazy. There’s so many stories like this. That’s what the left did. And they’re telling you to get over it. Oh, some people were wrong about some stuff. Oh, really? Suicide skyrocketed. Deaths from terminal illness or deaths from illnesses, preventative illnesses increased because people couldn’t go get care because the left got their wish and they shut everything down. And now they’re telling you to get over it. The fact that Andrew Cuomo thinks that he can emerge in society is proof that society is too fickle and that apparently they weren’t hurt enough by COVID. So they’re willing to welcome a guy like him back. That’s like asking the captain of the Titanic to drive another ship. It’s just, no. It’s just unbelievable. Get over it. And I think a lot of that’s because they want to rehabilitate him. They don’t really have a bench. Think about who they got. We talked about this before, but who do they have? I’m less concerned about who they get at the White House level, and I’m more concerned about what they do at the congressional level. Coming up, I’m going to tell you 14 seats that they’re targeting. They got a… Already, their first accounting was a $50 million donation. The left created a pact called Win Them Back, so they’re going after blue-collar voters. And there are… All they’re going to do is flip three seats. I’m going to tell you 14 seats coming up that they’re going to target. We also have the discussion on that SCOTUS ruling with ghost guns.

Okay, so she is a famous Broadway actress. So two things. I think that, I think she has, wait, she has a good vocal tone. I think she couldn’t hear herself at all because she kept going up by her monitor. You’re probably right. When she, certain notes she had really good control over, but she was pitchy, dang, and sharp. And, oh, not everyone. Look, Whitney Houston did it because she was Whitney Houston. Baby girl, you are not Whitney Houston. Stop it. Just sing the anthem. I don’t need a multi-syllabic vocal run for like single syllabic words like A. A doesn’t need to be. Stop it. Stop it. Just sing it. I know it’s a very difficult song to sing because it bounces back up from a multiple of different, you know, octaves, et cetera. A lot of people don’t know my husband is a classically trained opera singer. Legit. And also understands trigonometry. Don’t get it. But anyway, whatever. So he has always said, like, it’s one of the most difficult pieces of music to sing because of the range that is required to sing it. And when you’re outside in the wind and it’s going to be sketchy, you’re in your monitor. This is where you hear yourself. And when you sing like this in a big stadium, you’re not able to get your your sound reflected back at you. So you it’s like when you sing, it just disappears into the ether. You can’t even hear yourself. So that may have been a problem. Really good singers, though, I think know how it feels when they’re right. So I it was bad. It would have been a lot better if she would have just sang a straightforward anthem. But all of these people feel like they’ve got to like flex and then it just ends up sounding horrific. It’s about the country and the anthem, not you. So just do us all a solid and just sing the anthem without having to. Don’t Whitney it because there was only one Whitney. You ain’t her. Stop it. Good night. All right. We have second hour on the way. Stephen Hallbrook will be joining us. And the dumbest tweet ever doesn’t exist. Oh, wait. It does. Ninja Swords. Ninja Swords and Britain.

SPEAKER 01 :
We begin with breaking news. The government has banned ninja swords three years after the death of 16-year-old Ronan Kander. It will be illegal to possess, sell, make or import the weapon from the summer with anyone caught with a ninja sword potentially facing six months in prison. The ban is part of measures known as Ronan’s Law, which also requires retailers to report bulk or suspicious sales to police and an increase to jail sentences for selling weapons to children. The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, said it’s part of a wider mission to try and keep children safe.
SPEAKER 26 :
Wow. So, and then Keir Starmer, who is the British Prime Minister, do you know what he tweeted out? He tweeted, Cain, that ninja swords will be banned by the summer when we promise action. We shall take it. Wow.
SPEAKER 15 :
Do you feel that?
SPEAKER 26 :
How do you stop ninjas now?
SPEAKER 15 :
Do you feel that wave of safety, everyone?
SPEAKER 26 :
Gosh, I feel so safe. The UK is going to make everybody safe. Crime! I mean, you know. But the ninja swords. I love that they said ninja swords. That’s like the blade version of the blade version of an assault weapon. Everything is a ninja sword.
SPEAKER 15 :
What about medieval swords? Are those cool? Because they’re not ninja swords. They’re different regular type swords. So those are cool?
SPEAKER 26 :
I mean, you know, there’s a couple of Aren’t there like several swords that ninjas use? So is it all of the ninja swords? First off, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you, top of this first hour. That is in Britain where, guys, the same brilliant country that put free knife boxes. Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Give your knife away box. They had boxes of knives on every street corner. Free knives for criminals. Boxes of knives where the good people were told, bring your knives in. Deposit them in our free knife. I mean, our knife roundup box. Remember they had that? I tweeted about it a while ago. And it was like, I think my most popular tweet ever. But they had knife boxes on certain street corners because they were trying to combat knife crime. The knife amnesty box. And it’s like… It would be like the same… You know how in certain… Sometimes you’ll see like a clothing donation box? So it was like that, but for knives. A knife donation. And you put your… I mean, they actually had… There is, I’m going to put one so Juan can show you. They actually, and this is again a few years ago, but this kind of goes into the ninja sort of thing now. They would say, put your machete or sword in here. Put your knives in here. They had two different openings, Cain, as you know, for the blades. And there are knife boxers. That’s all it is. It’s a free knife box. And it did nothing to actually reduce, quote unquote, knife crime.
SPEAKER 15 :
Sure didn’t. No. I actually put a video in there of a knife box overflowing with knives.
SPEAKER 26 :
I need to see this and I need to know why this box isn’t in my area. It sounds like just a free box of knives.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s exactly what it is.
SPEAKER 26 :
So they’re wanting to ban ninja swords. And I’m like, is that all of the ninja swords? Now, keep in mind, I like samurai movies. So is it all of the ninja swords? Because there are several kinds. Why can’t they use the… This is like listening to gun controllers say, we need to ban quote-unquote assault weapons. And you ask them what an assault weapon is. And they’re like, well, it’s a black rifle. And that’s all I can tell you. And it looks shooty. So when you say ninja sword, do you mean the katanas? um what is it you have a tanto a katana there’s like five or six different types of ninja swords but i but the prime minister britain is going out there saying yes yes well you need to come bring your ninja swords in are they having a problem with the ninja sword there’s that there’s the knife all you got to do is stick your hand in there and get a knife yeah he does actually in the beginning of the video just stick your hand in there free knife Free knife. And it’s a cardboard or metal? Watch what he does. Yeah. There he goes. Free knife. That’s actually amazing. Oh, great job. You didn’t think of designing a receptacle that one could not stick their hand into and pull a knife out from. Okay. Brilliant. Yeah. I’m just like, when they say ninja sword, I just need a little bit of different. I need some, you know, why can’t we just use actual names of things? How many people are killed by ninjas in the UK? That’s the other question. Enough to have a lot. Would you even know? Somebody put out a picture of ninjas protesting the ninja sword ban in the UK, and there was just literally a picture of an empty street. Yeah. But, so, okay. Are there… I didn’t… Do they have a ninja problem in the UK? How many ninjas are out there ninjin’ people up? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 15 :
Does this sound ninjist?
SPEAKER 26 :
It does, right? Yeah. I mean, I’m just… I don’t know. So if you take away the ninja sword, the ninjas won’t kill anybody anymore. Is that what I’m to understand?
SPEAKER 15 :
If anybody’s seen a ninja or know about ninjas, they don’t need swords to kill you.
SPEAKER 26 :
I wish I was making this up, but it is actually something that… He has tried to joke about it, but it’s actually something that they are legitimately… It’s their knife thing. The… And again, is it just every sword that they think looks like a ninja sword? When they try to do the, excuse me, the what is it called? The context or the correction on X, the community notes. None of the all the community notes just keep affirming literally for all the criticisms of Starmer on this. Well, I mean, you know, he’s not really just talking about. So all blades, including the ninja swords that he just doesn’t actually.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. Any kitchen knives also in this law, any kitchen knife, six inches or more will be banned, even if they’re kitchen knives. So you can’t have your big car.
SPEAKER 26 :
So you can’t actually carve food at home. No. In Britain.
SPEAKER 15 :
I mean, with a small knife, you can.
SPEAKER 26 :
Oh, that’s really helpful when I’m doing meat and stuff. It’s super great. That’s so dumb. So what about a bread, like your serrated bread knife?
SPEAKER 15 :
No, that blade is actually longer than six inches.
SPEAKER 26 :
You cannot have a bread knife. No. How do you cut bread without a bread knife?
SPEAKER 15 :
Because bread knives are under their kitchen knives label.
SPEAKER 26 :
But it’s for bread. You’ve got to have it. The knife does all the work. Serrated edge, you don’t crush your soft, fluffy, crunchy crust bread.
SPEAKER 15 :
Kitchen knife.
SPEAKER 26 :
So this is going to end all the crime, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
No.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah. Ninja lives matter, man. You know, let the ninjas have their swords. Not the ninja swords don’t kill people. Ninjas do. I wish I were joking. And sadly, I am not. But I don’t even think he knows actually what the ninja swords are. I don’t think he knows. They’re used quite a lot. I think the most popular one is the katana. That’s the one that has kind of a… But then you’ve got… Then some people call samurai swords ninja swords. And those are two very different things. Ninjas, samurais, very different. But I think a lot of these leftists, including people like Keir Starmer, they’re just like, oh, it’s just Asian. It’s all the same, right? It’s what the left thinks. That’s how they approach this. That’s why there’s a photo that I saw of… It’s funny because Lorraine notes that in the video, they actually show a machete. There was one video, apparently, he had, I guess, taken it down where he was showing a machete. Yeah, no, showing a machete and calling it something else, like a different type. They have no idea what they’re regulating. This is just a feel-good optic. The left is the left everywhere. It doesn’t matter. The left is always the left, no matter where you go. They think that just removing this is going to make all the crime go down because, you know, the criminals, I’m sure, Kane, all the knives in that box that we showed where they’re overflowing. I’m sure those were all criminals that freely gave up their criminal knives.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah. Criminals always comply with the law.
SPEAKER 26 :
You know, that’s always what happens when, you know, I don’t know if you guys are aware of it. It happens every time. Happens every time. The crime just goes away.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, as you know, it makes it difficult to buy knives, obviously, in England. But there are people tweeting from England saying that not only has it obviously prohibited those type of sales, but you can’t even get scissors. You can’t get scissors anywhere because of this law.
SPEAKER 26 :
How weak is your nation that you can’t even trust your people with scissors?
SPEAKER 15 :
They’re afraid of the liability involved with selling those things.
SPEAKER 26 :
See, now you brought up a very good point that I’m going to dovetail into gun control. Because what are the gun control activists have been doing for quite some time is they have been suing gun manufacturers saying that they have to be responsible for the ways in which criminals choose to use their product. And they want to drive out the availability of a legal item from the marketplace because how criminals choose to use it. Remove the variable that it’s a firearm. This is applicable to everything. And in order to try to finagle some justification to their accusation of guilt, They try to invoke advertising and marketing and claim that the manufacturers are breaking the rules and it’s false advertising essentially. And they should be held liable. The thing is that all these manufacturers are held liable to the certain standards that everybody else are if you make a defective product at all. But if you are a criminal and you freely use a legal to own for an innocent person object – and you go out and commit a crime with it that doesn’t mean that you’re absolved of the crime because the nature of the implement that you used it’s so dumb so that’s this is the same argument they don’t even let people have scissors because they can’t they’re afraid of the liability because someone may stab somebody with scissors and they don’t want to get sued so no one can have scissors you’re never going to get rid of crime like this you’ll you in fact you know what if i was a criminal i would be like you guys are so stupid i’m going to do more crimes More crimes on the way.
SPEAKER 15 :
It only allows crime to overrun good people.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah. I mean, it’s… I don’t know. Now, that’s in Britain or UK. United Kingdom. So it’s more than just Britain. In Germany… Because you know how in different… There’s been a shift happening in different European nations like Italy has gotten very, very conservative. In fact, Giorgio Maloney, who is the prime minister there, is the most conservative leader in Europe. She’s the most conservative leader in the EU. And they the conservative coalition over there because it’s parliamentary. They’ve been battling. I wanted to play this. This is audio somebody 10. She was asked by a reporter with the Financial Times about Italy’s relationship with the US. And just, you know, I think there’s been a very interesting relationship. There was Maloney and Trump had won his first term. I think now it’s been rekindled. They are kind of like a one-two punch in handling a lot of this stuff over with the EU, particularly as it relates to NATO, etc. Listen to what she says here. She’s asked about this by a reporter from a left, kind of left-leaning Financial Times.
SPEAKER 24 :
Are you staying with Europe or are you staying with the US? I’m staying with Italy, as always. I’m in Europe. I’m for the West. What does it mean? The electoral campaign is finished. And the idea that the relation between you and your counterparts change based on who wins the election is something I will never follow. Our relations with the US are the most important relation that we have. The United States have always been our first ally. We respect them and we want to enhance that cooperation.
SPEAKER 26 :
I mean, that’s a really strong answer. She’s like, no, no, no, it’s not changing. They’ve been really fighting to retain a lot of their sovereignty rights and push back against a lot of the excesses of the EU that previous leadership got them involved in. They’ve been really having to clean up a lot of it and they’ve been battling the virus. communist press the entire… Their press is even crazier over there, if you can believe it. They’ve been dealing with their press the entire time. I think that’s incredibly interesting. So you’ve seen these developing, but in Germany, in Germany… The country they’ve been fighting warring between progressive and conservative. So in Germany, they’re saying that supporters of one political party, that they’re going to ban police from joining one of the political parties over there. It’s the alternative for Germany, for Germany. It’s a it’s the conservative political party. And they’re acting like, oh, they’re super far right. And they try to intimate that it’s a callback to their fascist. Everybody’s a fascist, according to the fascists, literally in Europe. And that’s what this is. They’re banning people who serve in German police from being members of or associated with that political party. Are they trying to bring back the Stasi? We’ve got more of this coming up. I’ve seen the amazing changes Relief Factor has made for so many people, and I’ve seen it firsthand through my husband Chris’s pain relief from using Relief Factor.

SPEAKER 26 :
So POTUS has issued an executive order to ease concealed carry in Washington, D.C. It was aimed at, quote, making the District of Columbia safe and beautiful. Contain a provision that, I mean, look to not only fight crime, but also establish a, quote, safe and beautiful task force. that will collaborate, I’m reading from the order, with appropriate local government entities to provide assistance to increase the speed and lower the cost of processing concealed carry license requests in the District of Columbia. If you remember, we talked about it before, years ago, they only had like one office there. They had two, they closed one. And they only had like one office that processed it. And it took forever, even if you were approved, to get a license to carry. It’s just crazy. But that’s the way they operate out there. Americans are dipping into their retirement funds. says newsweek trying to make ends meet as the economy uh can maybe hope to rectify itself here if we can get on track uh they’re doing it prematurely obviously and experts are warning that this is going to have serious consequences on you later on in your life a study by vanguard looked at data from over five million people with retirement accounts they found that almost five percent of account holders took hardship withdrawals from their 401k accounts in 2024 That’s up 4% from 23%. Those allow people to access their funds early in cases like an urgent financial need, but it’s kind of considered a last resort. Also, sharks were captured making terrifying sounds in the first evidence. I didn’t need to know this. That they are not silent killers. That’s great. That’s really great. You know, because it didn’t have enough things to just freak out about in my life. Now, sharks make noises when they come kill you. They said that they lack… At first, they thought that they didn’t make any noises because they didn’t have the sound-producing organs in other mammals. But there was a study done by the Royal Society of Open Science, and they found that rigged sharks, the small bottom-dwelling sharks off the coast of New Zealand, make a clicking sound when they’re handled or near others. Interesting. Stick with us. Stephen Hallbrook next. As we do so, the folks who will bring you the program, it’s our friends. It’s over at Burn a Gun, the non-firearm firearm.

SPEAKER 26 :
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. With you, we’re at the bottom of the second hour. And of course, you can listen terrestrially all across the United States. We’ve got our hundreds of affiliates and live stream, Channel 347, DirecTV, the chats over at Rumble. We’ve got Facebook, everywhere. Everywhere you have an internet, a computer, whatever. All the internets. So welcome back. One of the things that we talked about this week, and this came down on Wednesday, was this. odd it’s the case and i i’ve read uh i read the you know dissent i’ve read the opinions i’ve read all the debates about it the whole ghost gun and the argument over you know essentially what the atf can and can’t do it was a decision this wednesday where the supreme court upheld this atf rule where they’re saying that uh these unfinished frames and receivers and the hobbyist kits that you can make firearms yourself at home, an activity that predates this republic, that basically they’re guns and they’ve got to be treated as guns, like fully functional firearms, and they’ve got to be treated as such, and that not doing it is inconsistent with the Gun Control Act. You had Thomas and Alito that dissented from the majority opinion. Gorsuch wrote it. And I… I understand a lot of the criticisms that I hear from a lot of gun owners out there because they’re asking, well, why didn’t they bring up the Second Amendment enough in this? Well, that’s not entirely the way that they were determining the resolution for this case. So we wanted to bring on a good friend and an expert on the matter, Stephen Hallbrook, who we’ve had on before. He’s an attorney specializing actually particularly in the Second Amendment. He’s been involved in a number of historical cases. He’s an icon in the community. He joins us now. via Zoom. It’s good to have you, my friend. I wanted to get your take on this decision. I don’t think this really surprised any of us. And there are still some pathways to maybe dealing with this. But what was your overall take?
SPEAKER 04 :
Great to see you again, Dana. Look, it’s a narrow decision, and it’s a head-scratcher. You wonder why did the court go to the effort that it did that doesn’t really have an ending spot, and here’s why. The litigants, Vanderstock, brought their case under the Administrative Procedure Act. And they said that the regulation, the parts that ATF added to the definition of firearm are inconsistent with that definition of the statutory definition and that the ATF exceeded their statutory authority. But the court didn’t treat it in that fashion. The court instead looked at it in terms of. is this regulation there’s actually two regulations here that are important the definition of firearm and definition of frame or receiver are those definitions invalid in all circumstances well of course they’re not because what atf did was take the existing definition of firearm and then added to it a weapon parts kit that can be readily assembled into a firearm and instead of just the term frame or receiver or its old definition that goes back to 1968, ATF added that a frame or receiver that can sort of be readily made. There’s three or four different adjectives attached to that. And so the court said, of course these regulations do not run afoul of the Gun Control Act in all circumstances. Well, no, they don’t because ATF incorporated the statutory definitions. But what they added really was at issue. And on that, the court said, well, there may be some parts kits, for example, that can be readily converted into a firearm. Remember the definition of firearm. It’s a weapon that can expel a projectile by action of an explosive, a weapon that’s designed to do so or maybe readily converted to do so. Well, so of course it’s true that some of these parts kits might be capable of readily conversion, but others are not, and the court readily says that. The court’s very emphatic, in fact, in limiting this decision by saying that We’re not making any holding as applied to specific products other than they did make a holding pretty much as to the polymer 80 Glock type kit. And sometimes I think advertisers get in their own way because it was like buy, build, shoot. that that’s the marketing term for that and so that’s what the court latched stones to and the court said well here’s somebody who said they could assemble it and do all the you know drilling and and removal of um wrongs or plastic whatever in 21 minutes so okay fair enough but what i think to take away from this case because it’s the majority it’s the supreme court The anti-guns are celebrating this decision, but I can say that there are many parts of the decision that say, here’s the limit. There’s many of these products that are not capable of readily conversion into a firearm. And it’s the same with frame of receiver kits. And therefore, you know, don’t uncork the champagne bottles, anti-gun people. Now, there’s one point that the majority made that I think it just shows they don’t quite get it, what these kits are all about. They made the analogy to IKEA furniture. Okay, you buy IKEA furniture. Everything is completely produced. Yeah. uh all the holes are drilled all the parts are completed and you have to assemble it but that’s not we’re talking about with these kits you have to drill holes and they have to be just right or that trigger is not going to work for example so that’s not a good analogy um Another example was an unassembled or a disassembled rifle that you disassembled for cleaning. Well, okay, all you do is assemble it back. So it’s still a rifle, it’s still a weapon, it’s still a firearm. And then the example came up of a starter gun. The definition of firearm includes a starter gun if it’s a weapon and if it can be readily converted into a firearm. But it’s got a frame or receiver, too. So it’s not like it’s not beyond the definition of a firearm if it’s the kind of starter gun that can be readily converted. So the examples that the court uses, Justice Gorsuch wrote the opinion, really don’t jive with the reality. of the analogy between these kits that you have to do some fabrication. Yeah, they’re partly machined, but they’re not all the way machined. And the same with kits like IKEA, you’re buying something that all the parts are already made. Now, Justice Thomas has a wonderful dissent. This idea that a regulation has to be invalid in all circumstances to be invalid was not the way to look at this case. The plaintiffs didn’t bring it that way. What the plaintiffs did was to say this regulation is inconsistent with the statute and it exceeds ATS authority. And what the court did was… to try to apply this rule about facial challenges, which apply to statutes, not regulations, that they have to be invalid in all circumstances to be totally invalid. You can bring as applied challenges. So what Justice Thomas said, He said to the lower courts, just bring it as a straight Administrative Procedure Act challenge. The regulation is inconsistent with the statute and it exceeds ATS authority. And then by the same token, Justice Gorsuch, his dissent had to do He focused on that point about invalid in all circumstances. And he said, you know, by that reasoning, you’ll never find a regulation invalid because agencies are going to be smart enough to put in some valid stuff in their regulation along with the invalid stuff. And therefore, under the way the court looked at it, It’s there’s no way you’d ever get an entire regulation invalidated. But I mean, the right thing to do would be to just invalidate the part that the agency added.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
I mean, Congress needs the law. Remember, the gun control act is a criminal law. You can get lots of penitentiary time for violation. And so I think this decision is kind of a big nothing burger because what it does is completely leave it open to bring challenges where you say this or that kit or this product is not a firearm. And then the court decides. That’s what we did in Thompson Center Arms versus U.S., a case that I argued in the Supreme Court back in 1992. Justice Thomas would have relied on that decision in this case. Because one thing it did was to rely on the rule of lenity, under which if there’s an ambiguity in a criminal law, you have to interpret it against the government and in favor of the citizen, because that’s part of due process. You don’t have vague laws that people are expected to go by. I don’t think the impact of this decision is going to be very great. I wish the court had decided it the way that Justice Thomas would have preferred. But I don’t see this as a leading precedent that’s going to open the floodgates. And by the way, I don’t know if this regulation is going to last anyway. We’ve got Pam Bondi. I’m not sure if she likes the fact that her name is on the case now, Bondi v. Vanderstock. But ATF, I mean, the regulations are actually done by the Department of Justice, not ATF, although they’re ATF regulations. And so the current administration can go through the notice and comment period and propose wiping this out.
SPEAKER 28 :
Oh, I hope they do.
SPEAKER 04 :
I have to say, something ATF did right in 1968, they had a definition of frame of receiver that nobody’s ever disputed. To make it simple, it’s like the basic part of the firearm, the basic structure. You attach the barrel to it and the stock to it. It’s got all the internal parts. And that’s basically the way that ATF had defined it. And that was good to go up until 19, until 2022, over 50 years. Wow.
SPEAKER 26 :
And that’s the one thing that I like is like the one thing that they did right. Stephen Hallbrook found one thing that they were talking with our good friend Stephen Hallbrook. He’s a famed Second Amendment attorney professor. He’s authored books. His Instagram account is one of my absolute favorites to follow because he has it’s all historical and it’s all two way based. You brought up something really interesting. This might be the last question I have for you on this, because you mentioned the Administrative Procedures Act. And I know I and many others, you know, we watched what happened with, you know, the Supreme Court with the CDC and the rent moratorium and how that was overturned because they said that they exceeded their authority. And I know that there was another Second Amendment case in which it was ruled that, you know, the ATF once again exceeded their authority. I was hoping that. And maybe I’m a little myopic in reading this. I thought that that maybe would have a bigger play in terms of the decision on this case. Is that I mean, going to what you said with what Tom is telling them how to act in the lower courts. I mean, it sounds like that still could be a great remedy.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh yeah, look if I’ve got a product I want to sell it to the public or if I’m a consumer consumer wanting to buy it, we can go straight to court and have an as applied challenge and we can do it for one product or more than one in one litigation. So I don’t see that’s why I don’t think this case is going to have much impact. And as far as the Second Amendment goes, not every case is the Second Amendment case, although the Second Amendment is implied in many of these cases. the right to make your own gun, for example. But whether there’s something, whatever you’re buying to make your own gun with, whether that’s a firearm or not, that’s still something you can litigate. And so ultimately, It would have made, not every case should be a Second Amendment case. It makes them too complex. You know, we’ve got the case Mexico versus Smith and Wesson. That’s under the Protection of Lawful Commerce and Arms Act. And if you, you can mention the Second Amendment and that’s very fine, but straight out, it’s not that case. It’s about whether Mexico is violating an explicit statute that Congress passed. And by the same token, that’s what really was at stake here. And that’s how The court should have dealt with it. But, you know, we take it as it comes and we use what we can. And I think there’s a lot to use in this case that would be adverse to regulations that do go too far.
SPEAKER 26 :
Stephen Hallbrook, always a pleasure. And we’re grateful that you’re generous with your time. Where would we be without you? Thank you so much.

How do we fix the wounds dividing America? Pastor Alan Jackson has the answer.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, I think the reason we’ve been silent for so long, while our country’s been pilfered and pulled apart, is all of our groups have gotten little pieces of the pie. And we’re afraid we’re going to have to forfeit our little special side deal, our side hustles. And so we just don’t say anything. But we would all be stronger if we’d come back to the truth.

It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 26 :
A Florida man with prior felonies. Uh-oh, don’t tell Keir Starmer. He hid his swords in a Jackson County shop. He’s a Florida man. Okay, how are you bringing not just one but multiple concealed swords into a business? There was a man, deputies recall, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. There was a dude behaving aggressively in a business parking lot. Witnesses said, it looks like he’s carrying a shotgun and a sweatshirt on his back before he entered the store. And then when they arrived, they identified him, Joshua Voiles. They found a weapon on him directly, but they found four swords wrapped in a gray sweatshirt elsewhere in the store amongst his belongings. He admitted that the swords were his. And he has, oh, lots of felony, prior felony convictions. So he was arrested and charged with felon in possession of a concealed weapon. So it was a sword. He couldn’t even have a sword. Interesting. But all the Florida people have machetes. Is there a difference? I mean, I know swords longer than machetes. So could he have a machete? Machete.
SPEAKER 15 :
Could he have that? Has a ninja ever touched it?
SPEAKER 26 :
I don’t know, man. We got to get Keir Starmer on the problem. What? A Florida man mistakes gas for brakes and, oh, slammed right into a Tampa apartment building. I’m surprised this isn’t a man. I really am. He totally, remember that drunk lady in a golf cart? Hit her friend’s house, not once, but twice. An elderly man hit the gas instead of the brakes Tuesday morning, crashed into an apartment building in Hillsborough County, Florida. Deputies arrived shortly after 7 a.m. I mean, he ran, wow, right into the side of that house. There’s a hole in that house. There’s a hole in the house. I can see the vents on their wall. He ran right into this building of apartments. And they said that the driver lived in the building that he hit. I don’t think not the apartment particularly that he hit. But they said that they’re still investigating. Thankfully, there were no injuries. If somebody had been standing in the room that he ran into, they’d be dead. It looks like he ran right into somebody’s kitchen. Good heavens. Thankfully, everybody’s okay. I can’t.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s a new garage.
SPEAKER 26 :
Mistook the gas for the break. Again, I’m surprised he’s a new garage, Cain says. I’m surprised the guy’s a man. Let’s see. Oh, there was a Florida robber jailed because he stole $1.50 from Dairy Queen at gunpoint. He robbed $1.50 from a Dairy Queen. I’ll share more on that next week. We’re out of time at this point.

SPEAKER 26 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. I want to set up this audio soundbite because coming up we got our friend Shuri Curry. He’s going to be joining us. We’re going to get into, she’s joining us on some certain topic, you know, Hollywood conservative. But POTUS is, he was in the White House earlier. C-SPAN was in there with him and he was taking questions from reporters. It’s Friday. So I’m starting this hour off with a banger of a soundbite. So one of the big obviously one of his big keynote piece, his big cornerstone bits of legislation, a lot of, you know, one of the big reasons everybody went out and voted for him. is protecting women’s sports. And, you know, he signed the bill doing that. He’s signed executive orders, et cetera, et cetera. So he was asked, well, what is a woman? And I just want to play this because it’s just, it’s, he’s funny. Just listen.
SPEAKER 05 :
What is a woman and why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women? Well, it’s sort of easy to answer for me because a woman is somebody that can have a baby under certain circumstances. She has a quality. A woman is a person who’s much smarter than a man, I’ve always found. A woman is a person that doesn’t give a man even a chance of success. And a woman’s a person that in many cases has been treated very badly because I think that what happens with this crazy, this crazy issue of men being able to play in women’s sports is just ridiculous and very unfair to women and very demeaning to women.
SPEAKER 26 :
So he’s obviously he’s making jokes there. And then he gets more gets on a more serious note. The left, though, does not know what to think of it. Because they’re like, wait a minute, a woman is a person that doesn’t give a man even a chance of success. And they’re like, well, wait a minute, why are you so mean against women? And then they’ve got to stop me like, wait a minute, that’s what women have been doing. It’s too funny. It’s too funny. They don’t even he just I think he just trolls them on purpose at this point. I had to play that for you. So he was he was also answering questions, fielding questions about Greenland because Greenland, because you have the second lady who’s going to Greenland. And I don’t think normally that would be a major story. But for some reason, it’s a major story now. And they arrived and they’ve the advances have arrived in Greenland. And people are saying that they got a frosty welcome and all this other stuff. I think it’s just, why not go? It’s cold there. It is very cold there. Well, I mean, like, not frosty like the weather. Like, they were saying that some people were being snooty. But Vance apparently told U.S. troops that it was as cold as boop here. Nobody told me. And they laughed. But they landed at the Patuffik Space Base, which sounds amazing. Space Base. Where are you going, Space Base? Northwest Greenland. Negative three degrees.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh. Is that Celsius or Fahrenheit?
SPEAKER 26 :
Fahrenheit.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, that’s bad.
SPEAKER 26 :
That’s way bad. Negative three degrees. Like it’s taking away the degrees from you. You are in degree deficit right now. This is not cool. So… Yeah, they arrived in the largest coats I’ve ever seen humans wear. But they’re, you know, doing a little… I don’t know if… There’s a method to the madness. I think I get what they’re doing. It’s still, you know… What did you say, Kane?
SPEAKER 15 :
For the heat, they’re wearing live animals.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah, live animals. Locals apparently are… They say it’s being described as pulling out all of the stops to snub them. Oh, stop. Stop. They just need to just stop. It just gets so what gets me is when Trump troll talks people and then they answer like seriously. Now, I don’t know if the Greenland I mean, I just want taxes cut here. I don’t want a bunch of Democrats as a part of my country. So I don’t want anybody. I don’t want I sure as hell don’t want Canada as a 51st state, a bunch of Democrats up there in the debt. I don’t need any of that. But Greenland, I mean, I understand the NatSec issue of it. I just don’t care right now because I want tax cuts. I want tax cuts and I want my guns be left alone. It’s the only things I care about. You get those for me and hey, I’ll give you a thumbs up. Abolish the IRS, abolish the ATF and I’m going to be good to go. You know, I mean, there’s not much there. I’ll be happy. So you do those things. I don’t care if you take Greenland. Hell, take all of it. Take the Arctic. Go ahead and take Canada, too, I guess. But I don’t want them voting. And then you can have Greenland. Go ahead. I don’t care what you take. Just take it. You know, turn it into Napoleon. I don’t care. Just leave me alone. Leave my taxes alone. Well, then I’d have to fund it with taxes, wouldn’t I? So maybe don’t do that. So the. I can. Can I have this one now to where we get all of a sudden all the banger audio soundbites are coming in. So we have the advances in Greenland and this is all about Arctic security. Really? And they’re in Greenland. The press is going to try to make that a big giant thing. And in the meantime, apparently RFK Jr. called West Virginia’s governor fat, like literally to his face.
SPEAKER 12 :
I got to know – I said to Dr. Morris – or Governor Morrissey the first time I saw him, I said, you look like you ate Governor Morrissey. And there was a lot of talk about getting healthy again, and I’m very happy that he’s invited me to be his personal trainer. And I am going to put him – I’m going to put him on a really rigorous regimen. Wow. And we’re going to put him on a carnivore diet. We’re going to make him do… Raise your hand if you want Governor Morrissey to do a public weigh-in once a month. And then when he’s lost 30 pounds, I’m going to come back to the state and do a celebration in a public way and with him.
SPEAKER 26 :
I like it that not only did he call him fat there, but he turned around and looked right at his face and said, you ate Governor Morrissey. Wow. Wow. OK, well, you know, I just think this is funny. So he needs to go after J.B. Pritzker next. J.B. Pritzker ate all of them. Let’s just have him go after him next. Good heavens. That’s actually funny. So the pull up a couple of things here because we have this been going on with the Tesla story. Did you see hold up? There are people putting so I’ve seen people putting stickers on their vehicles. on their, sorry, their Teslas, Cybertrucks or Teslas. So if they’re progressives and they’ve gotten and they’ve had their Teslas for a while or they purchased their Teslas because it was like the progressive virtue signaling thing to do. There are a lot of leftists that have Cybertrucks because you had to place the order for those years in advance. We have a friend who got a Cybertruck and he placed his order like years ago, a couple of years ago, and got his just at the end of last year. But there are leftists that have been putting like rainbow stickers or Harris stickers on their cars so that they don’t get keyed by their fellow leftists. We had a video. I don’t know if we put it up yet, but it was a guy who put Toyota on the back of his, you know, like you would have on the back of a Toyota truck. you would, he put Toyota on the back of his Tesla Cybertruck. How crazy is it that you have to, there are people who have been saying, purchased, I saw one car, one Tesla that wrote on the window, purchased in 2020, we stand with, and it had all the alphabet stuff. And then they put a hashtag on it for some reason, I have no idea why. How bad is it that you have to signal to your fellow leftists, don’t break my stuff? I’m a leftist like you. Don’t break my stuff. How bad is it that you have to do that?
SPEAKER 15 :
To beg your own pardon.
SPEAKER 26 :
That’s like putting the blood above the doorway, right? For Passover. That’s what these… There’s the Toyota Cybertruck. Juan’s showing it on the simulcast. That’s actually hysterical. But it’s just like that. It’s like they’re going out there putting the blood above the door so that the… The mob, the progressive mob passes by and they don’t they don’t get hurt. Remember how it was? I just realized or remembered rather. Do you remember in the early days of Burn Loop murder, which started with Ferguson, really, where it kicked off and how there were business owners, not just in St. Louis, but elsewhere around the country that would put in the doorway a black owned business? Please don’t burn or please don’t vandalize or single mother business. Do you remember that? The I read I did read one story where it said it was a lesbian on business and they ransacked it anyway, which I thought was sad. But they had to put all of these things in their windows to protect their businesses like the putting the blood over the door. And in some instances they were spared. It was kind of like half and half. When the leftist mob is going, there’s no quelling the mob. You’re not going to call off the mob. The mob’s got a mob, right? They got to go break stuff. They don’t get all wired up on drugs and everything and then go out there and, you know, they all get amped up. They got to go crazy. They got to have an outlet for their destructive energy. My heavens. But that’s what they’ve been doing. They’ve that that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. This officials have been right. There’s a story I saw last night on the heels of the signal thing, which I’m not talking about anymore. But it said that apparently now there’s a private data and password. Private data and passwords have been linked in a security breach. And this was their spiegel was the German newspaper came. They hate the conservatives over there. I don’t know if they don’t like them. They’ve been banning people in the conservative party from even being in the police force over in Germany. So apparently it came out that there were numbers and email addresses with WhatsApp accounts. that had uh leaked apparent like one of them was apparently a whatsapp account for hegseth and his account apparently was like inactive and he hadn’t used it but they were putting it out there anyway we just double check this kind of okay you could argue oh look at that that’s just like so crazy the trump administration all this look how reckless they are or look how mean deep state is that they’re trying to dig all this stuff up and leak it out into the press there’s two ways to look at this right it’s a rorschach test which way do you look at it as I don’t I don’t know. I will tell you, I’m not I am in no ways mad about the signal thing. And I’m yes, I am not. Someone asked me, they sent me an email. Are you really not going to talk about it? It’s an important story. Yes, I’m actually because I’m done. It’s not an important story. It is ridiculous. There were no war plans leaked in there. If you think that’s what war plans are, you’re literally too stupid to be involved in making day to day decisions about the running of our country. If you think that those were war plans, dear heaven, spare us all. from living under the burden of your continued existence. Make sure that you, you, you fix yourself, get your, get it all tied up so that you don’t plague us with your stupid offspring either. That’s how, that’s how much I don’t, I’m not angry at the story. I’m angry at the people who think I should be angry at the story. I don’t care. It’s not a story. It’s not a, it’s it, you know what? It was a mistake. They’re taken. They’re dealing with it. And I really am not going to care about the people that went after parents as domestic terrorists and leaked our IRS information. And just so they could get a class warfare argument going up ahead of a midterm election. People who shut down businesses for two years and arrested people for trying to work. I really don’t care what any of these individuals have to say about any of this. Millie, talk to the CCP. I don’t care. But I do think with I think they just you know how all these apps like came out kind of at the same time. And I feel like a lot of people just open up accounts and they were inactive. And then all of that information also was leaked out. I mean, it sounds like a deep state thing. I mean, I really don’t have can I don’t have any more brainpower for that. Anything related to that story, because these people have drama me all out of energy. I am all out of blanks to give about their drama.
SPEAKER 15 :
The hypocrisy is exhausting.
SPEAKER 26 :
And I had a conversation with a friend of mine last night about this. And that I do think that there are some people on our side, God love them, that they’re not trying to be contrarians, like bulwark contrarians. But I do think that they’re just really good at heart people who are maybe they haven’t been in the street with us as much as we have. And they are really optimistic. And they think there’s probably better ways to resolve some of this stuff. We don’t have to dig in and be super obstinate. Yeah, we do. Yeah, actually we do. We really do because you’re operating by a set of rules that are no longer in practice. And it’s one thing if one side, I get it, if one side is following the playbook, but in order for the playbook to actually be a value, both sides have to go by it. And only one is.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 26 :
is why i’m not keen on vacation in new mexico a michigan couple have been held in a maximum security prison in mexico because of a timeshare billing dispute christy and paula keogh 60 years old they were arrested after they landed in cancun they were going on a family vacation but then authorities took them into custody for quote fraud to a hotel chain they’ve been held for 22 days by state police the family’s terrified they had signed up for a timeshare with palace resorts it’s a hotel chain with resorts in mexico and an office in florida But then when the resort didn’t allow them to use their time as promised, they disputed the contract and reached out to their credit card company to dispute the charges. American Express found for the couple, but Mexican authorities disagreed. And instead, they looked at the refund as the cancellation of transactions. And they thought it was they claimed it was maliciously done. And they took him into custody and accused them of committing fraud. The judge gave the timeshare company six months to gather evidence to make their case. So the couple is going to be held behind bars. They’re going to have to have their, their elected officials involved in this. That’s crazy. Let’s see. When a newspaper allowed AI to take over, what happened? Well, Well, that’s what they found out with one small Italian newspaper that’s using AI to produce its newest edition as an experiment about the future of journalism. The paper now, it’s a center-right daily newspaper, and they wanted to explore the capabilities and limitations of AI. And… They said it’s been actually, they’re being accused of playing with moral fire at the worst possible moment in U.S. history. They said they launched a limited edition written entirely by AI and chat GPT pros. So, look, they’re being very transparent about it. They’re saying that it is entirely actually like an experiment about the dangers this poses to actual news gathering. So, I don’t know. But it is wild, some of the stuff that they have. Stick with us. Cherie Curry up next.

SPEAKER 26 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour. And of course, you can listen terrestrially all across the country. And we got the simulcast kicking at Channel 347, DirecTV, X, Facebook, everywhere. One of my favorite people in all of music. She’s been on the show before. It is… I mean, I checked off like at least three buckets on my bucket list when she first came on my show. I wore a t-shirt with her face on it when I was in high school. I mean, I was like… and still am mega fan, like one of the originals and just an OG icon. And I think everybody else is a pale imitation. I really do believe that. Cherie Curry, who is the front woman for the Runaways, an artist in her own right. She’s a sculptor with chainsaws. She’s like the Michelangelo of chainsaws. So add that onto the resume. You know, she’s got Boulevard to Splendor. She’s still out there making music, kicking ass, taking names. And she joins us now via Skype because she is also, as you all are aware, like truly punk rock and that she is an open conservative when it is so dangerous still for artists to be such and to be vocal about it. And she just in a true like punk rock, hardcore fashion doesn’t care. And she’s fist in the air about it. My sister in conservatism joins me now. Cherie, so good to see you, my friend.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, Dana, I was going to say my sister in conservatism. Oh, I love you so much. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for having me. Always you.
SPEAKER 26 :
I miss you on television all the time. I so appreciate it. Thank you, Mike. Thank you, my friend. You I wanted to ask you this and I’m going to get into because you had tweeted about something that Nancy Wilson had said. But but to start with. It’s I feel like more people very slowly, especially artists, because it’s dangerous. You’re in a discipline where you have to be vulnerable anyway. And that’s like part of the appeal of the art. You are vulnerable. You’re putting yourself out there. And yet. At the same time, so many like yourself, it’s hard to be an open conservative in what you do or just even speak out as a constitutionalist or speak out in favor of lower taxes or just not being terrorized because of a car that you drive. Is it easier now because more people seem a little bit more comfortable with at least talking about it and being a conservative? Or do you think it’s harder because it does sort of feel like the remaining very far left? they’re more violent, louder, more leftier. I don’t know how to put it. It’s like there’s like a trade-off. How does it feel from your perspective?
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, you and I are so similar, Dana, because I’ve never really given a rusty rat, if you get it. I mean, it’s like, all I know is that I’ve had all this time to really see what’s going on. I read Agenda 21 from 1992 from Rio. I knew what they were up to. I actually thought they were gonna be doing it during Obama administration. I just, I honestly, the Tesla stuff it’s to me I’m kind of glad because it just shows how insane they have become and you know honest to God I mean I’ve never met a Republican conservative that is a violent person that is nasty I mean we just I found my niche and now we’re just surrounded by a bunch of crazy people that honestly, I mean to see Tesla, which was number one, everybody wanted a Tesla on the left. Now they’re destroying these, I mean they’re Looney Tunes sister, they’re Looney Tunes. I agree. I mean, are you kidding me? I have no problem saying you’re a nutcase, baby.
SPEAKER 26 :
Take a hike. I think anybody that would think that Cherie would be scared at all. I mean, again, she carves things with chainsaws. Maybe just find somebody with not that hobby. Find somebody who crochets, maybe. I don’t know. Talking with our good friend Cherie Curry. So Nancy Wilson, I read this write-up where she was doing an interview with Milwaukee Sentinel. I love heart. I always thought Nancy Wilson is a great guitar player. I don’t demand that people whose art I enjoy share my viewpoints, but I don’t want to feel like I’m an enemy while I’m trying to enjoy what they’re doing. I don’t want to feel like the person originating the music or the film or whatever hates me. And I was reading this piece where she was talking about the 70s and she said, quote, we were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War. And then she added to be as subtle as possible. It’s more embarrassing now. And you had something to say about it. And you said anyone embarrassed to be an American during the splendid government evisceration is out of touch with the American people. I don’t know. What is there to be embarrassed about?
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, she hasn’t been out in the world, Dana. And I will tell you, it was probably a year ago. I mean, I live alone. And so I only have to worry about myself and my son here and there. But I went to Ralph’s. It’s a supermarket. I had a panic attack for the families because I mean, I can handle taking care of me. But families, I knew that they were not gonna be able to do this and it just shot through me like a lightning bolt. I was so fearful and I honestly believe people like Nancy and even Joan, Joan Jett, she was wearing a Kamala pin when she was on stage. I don’t blame them because I watched what happened and the change that happens when people become very big stars and they have so much money and they’ve got their assistance. They don’t go to the supermarket, they don’t live real lives like we do. And so I have to give them a little bit of a break there. So I just find them blissfully unaware and naive and It truly does insult me a little bit that they don’t think about the people that buy their records and buy tickets to their concerts or buy tickets to see their movies. That they don’t really jump in and see what we’ve been going through. It has been horrendous. And that’s the sad part is that All I know is that if I had that kind of wealth, the one thing I would want to do is more like Elon Musk, just to really find out what is going on. Why are the American people in such trouble? Why are they suffering so much? What can I do to help? I never see that. I only see opinions. And then they go back to their mansions and tell their assistants to go out and do their $1,000 shopping. It just… Yeah, it’s just two different worlds. Really, really two different worlds.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah, it is very much so. We’re talking with our good friend Sheree Curry about the nature of the political sentiment and the political environment right now. And I, whenever I watch, cause I always, you know, I watch award shows. I’ll watch the Oscars. Cause I like to see, you know, I like the, I liked the old school, like pomp and circumstance of it. Like I love watching, this is like, I’m making me sound like a weirdo. I love watching like old award shows that you can find on YouTube where it’s like goes back into like the fifties and the forties because it was, oh my gosh, the great, I mean, you’re celebrating the artistry and there was such a respect for the audience and And there’s this marked difference. I mean, they were so… It was done for the audience. There were movies made for the audience. Everybody was grateful and they were thanking the audience, not just the Academy. And it just felt like the audience as a viewer, as a moviegoer, as an appreciator of the craft, you were part of it as well. Now it’s like, it’s just very hostile and it’s all about making a political stance. Every time somebody goes up on stage, I’m like… What, what is this going to be like? What, what are we going to, what ranting are we going to get? It has changed so much. How does that affect you when you’re creating? I, that has to be a, like a heavy weight that seems like it doesn’t, does that chill your, does it chill you wanting to, to make art? I would just be demotivated. I would, I would not be motivated. I don’t think.
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, I’m not motivated to be in this business anymore, as you know. But as far as movies are concerned, I mean, literally they have their little group and we ain’t in it, sister.
SPEAKER 26 :
We’re not the cool kids, although we are really.
SPEAKER 25 :
We’re not the cool kids. And beyond, yes we are, we truly are, because we’re the warriors. They’re just mouthpieces. And I mean, I just can’t watch those award shows because I don’t wanna hear it. Because I know that what they’re gonna say does not even relate one iota to the American people. And they really, they need to take a step back and take a good hard look at their words. and uh and how it affects the people that now will not buy those tickets and we’re just sick and tired of seeing these elites these mega rich superstars talking down to us when we’re the reason that they are stars and a lot of stars forget that they forget the fans yep you know i mean that’s why whenever i still do show i i go i mean if it wasn’t for the fans i wouldn’t be there yeah
SPEAKER 26 :
A couple of things to consider, because I feel like the younger generations, Gen Z, like the generation that that I’m raising, you know, Gen X is is really, I think, making Gen Z is going to be Gen X on steroids. I’m really feeling like that. They’re economically literate. They don’t want the baggage. They don’t want the drama. They’re actually more constitutional, apparently, according to numerous studies. I was watching these stories of, you know, Elon Musk and he’s got big balls. You know, the the the nerd who’s out who’s out there helping to cut and going through all this stuff, literally called himself that. I’m like, this is just the best time to be alive right now. And they’re all Gen Zers like he’s got all these Gen Z nerds working for him. And I say that not as a pejorative, like it’s a compliment. And then I’m reading these surveys. Yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
Watching Brett Baier last night. I mean, it’s just astonishing what they’re doing. Yes. And the fact that the Democrats are trying to stop this. I mean, we’re going bankrupt. We’re going bankrupt because of the waste and abuse and fraud.
SPEAKER 26 :
But Cherie, they’re telling you that they’re trying to save you money, which is the Republicans stealing your money. Exactly.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, I don’t think Elon Musk really gives a rusty rats about our social security numbers. He’s doing what nobody had the guts to do. And President Trump, we’ve never seen anything like it. It is the golden age. I’ve never seen anything like it. I just turned 65. And and I have watched with my own two eyes, California, just go into the hole. Just my my state. It was so beautiful. You know, just just a few decades ago.
SPEAKER 26 :
You can always always come to Texas. We would love to have you here. I’m just laying it out there, you know, just laying it out there. We’re we’re pretty great here in Texas. You know, I know you are. I know you are trying to get my son. fine as long as i can carve i don’t care there you go no that you the younger generation it feels like they because gen x apparently saved everybody during the election that gen x voted you know overwhelmingly republican this last election and voter turnout for gen x is pretty crazy voter turnout for gen z has was higher than previous youth votes are you encouraged by seeing this like what would you tell the younger generations
SPEAKER 25 :
I’m so, so encouraged. And because to be honest, my son, who is 34, he said that Trump was not gonna win. And he is not a Trump supporter. So it’s been a little contentious. Not for me, from him. But I think that the Democrats have just made it impossible for people not to see the insanity behind that party. They have lowered themselves to a level that I never expected, nor do I think is acceptable in any way, shape or form for our leaders to be, you know, Crockett for her to be dancing with with, you know, and also with the ridiculous cursing. I mean, this is not because that’s just a curse.
SPEAKER 26 :
You know, that’s what they’re thinking is the new punk rock.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, I guess. I guess that’s what they think, but they’re wrong.
SPEAKER 26 :
And that’s the final word on it. If anybody can get the final word on it, it’s her.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s right. Yeah, they’re wrong. And it’s not going to work. And all I’m asking is just give it, just would you guys, especially the legacy media that is truly, I blame them for the Tesla dealership bombings and shootings. I mean, they put so much fear into people that What else can they do? They’re so helpless under these lies from the Democrat Party. I don’t blame them, especially with Social Security and Medicare. For them to be putting any kind of idea into these retirees that they’re gonna lose those benefits. To me, they should be jailed for that because we’ve been through so much. Dana since COVID. Yeah. I mean, and we’re very still raw from it and the constant lies and people know, people know now that there are lies. It’s criminal. It really is criminal, isn’t it?
SPEAKER 26 :
There’s going to be a reckoning. It’s a slow coming, but there’s going to be a reckoning. Shuri Curry, always a pleasure. My dear sister in conservatism, you are welcome to bless this show, to grace these airwaves anytime you would like. We’re such huge fans.
SPEAKER 25 :
I love you, sister. Love you so much.
SPEAKER 26 :
Love you, girl. Good to see you. Have a great weekend. We’ll talk again soon. Okay, honey. Bye.

SPEAKER 21 :
We see one of the first things they do is try and restrict the vote. This is one of the things, though, that this is going to take power to the streets. I don’t know what the answer is on this, but I’ve been saying this.
SPEAKER 22 :
What?
SPEAKER 21 :
I think we need a shadow government so when all these things come up every single day, we’ve got an alternate press conference.

Absurd Truth: Trump’s Ultimate Newsom Troll
