SPEAKER 03 : 0:00

We’re early in the investigation, but some details have emerged. I’m able to confirm there are six victims ages 67 to 88. All of them have been transported to local hospitals. This attack happened at a regularly scheduled weekly peaceful event. Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The suspect was heard to yell free Palestine during the attack. The subject has been identified as Mohammed Sabri Solomon and he’s 45 years old. The FBI is processing the crime scene in the subject vehicle in interviewing key witnesses. We’re assisting Boulder police and providing technical, analytic and additional forensic resources. As a result of these preliminary facts, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism. Sadly, attacks like this are becoming too common across the country. This is an example of how perpetrators of violence continue to threaten communities across our nation. It’s our job, the FBI, the Boulder Police, and our law enforcement and community partners to bring these criminals to justice and keep our communities safe. We’re asking for the public’s help as we continue to investigate this horrific act of violence.

SPEAKER 17 : 1:29

Well, so this is what happened over the weekend. It’s what everybody woke up to. This this horrible story that came out of Boulder, Colorado. And I keep hearing that. And he I think he used this phrase even. And I’ve seen other politicians refer to it as like, oh, it’s just an incident that happened. It’s just this like it was a one off incident. And I got to tell you, it doesn’t seem like it’s a one-off anymore, right? An incident is what you would, that’s the word you would use if you were describing, oh, it happened one time. Oh, this is very much a singular, isolated thing. And it doesn’t seem that way at all, obviously, when you look at all of this. This is just a growing thing. It is a growing sentiment. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. Just just we’re going to talk to talk about some of the political reaction in this. But this this terrorist with a Molotov cocktail. I mean, what this is like the third. incident where somebody’s targeted Jewish Americans and for some reason I don’t know they keep they it’s well it’s a it’s a it is a uh uh it was an incident that happened it’s so unfortunate I was like Twitchy had a really good roundup of some of the weird statements that were that these lawmakers and these these commentators were making I mean the mayor how long did it take him to even post anything yesterday. It was like hours before he posted anything. And it almost sounded like a focus grouped It said, I am saddened and outraged at the appalling attack on members of Boulder’s Jewish community that happened today during the peaceful gathering on Pearl Street. He said his heart goes out. It was a tragic incident. He said, my heart goes out to the victims and their families and all who are impacted by this tragic incident. It sounds like, oh, this one-off incident. It’s not an incident, though. I mean, that’s the unfortunate thing about this. This has been happening more and more. And when they say incident, it just seems to downplay the frequency by which this has happened and how people are being targeted. My gosh, just what? Was it last week that you had an activist that was trying to murder American Jewish residents right in the street, right in Washington? I mean, that was just last week, wasn’t it? And this is already, yeah, NBC, oh, it was multiple marchers were injured in this attack. The way that they wrote about it, oh, it’s just a suspect in custody. Oh, it’s just an incident. Just injured. People were injured. I mean, some things happened. I mean, it’s like, what’s her face? Ilhan Omar. Some things happened. This is crazy. It wasn’t an incident. I mean, there was the thing that happened in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Let me pull this up because that was six people were hospitalized. There was a five vehicle crash. And this happened on Sunday. This story. And it was they said a minivan that was going southbound just unexpectedly accelerated came and ran into a pedestrian in the crosswalk. And they said that the five victims, two different vehicles, they took some other people to the hospital there. I mean, there’s been I’m just like looking back over just the past year and there’s been a number of these incidents that have been taking place. And I think that it behooves us to not refer to them as just incidents. This is an ongoing terrorist attack on the United States within our borders. I mean, when you keep having it happen like this, are we going to turn into the UK where they’re going to be driving cars into people constantly and going after people with machetes and the press over there just sort of sticks its head in the sand and ignores the frequency of it? Yeah, Audio Soundbite 17. This is former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Well, listen to his sound bite here. That’s all I’m going to say.

SPEAKER 20 : 6:05

This is the sort of thing that the FBI really can help out the local police department with providing manpower, technology and resources to do that sort of work. That’s what the FBI does. We don’t step in and take over and draw conclusions five minutes after the attack about what happened. We reach out to the local authorities. We provide people and we offer assistance in any way that we can. The Bureau is there to help the first responders.

SPEAKER 13 : 6:32

Thank you so much to both of you. One thing we know for sure, you know, certainly thinking about these victims and their families, a truly horrific thing that has happened to them as we await more on their condition.

SPEAKER 17 : 6:45

What? He’s upset that it would be labeled as such. He’s upset that it would be. I mean, what gives you. I don’t know if somebody is going out there screaming, quote unquote, free Palestine while you’re trying to set Jewish people on fire. I’m thinking that that might be a sign. If you needed a motive, that’s maybe a suggestion of where the motive is. Boulder police didn’t want to label it a terror attack either. Audio soundbite 18.

SPEAKER 12 : 7:16

FBI is already calling it a targeted terror attack. Would you also refer to it as a terror attack? So I’ve been in contact with our local FBI multiple times. We are in contact with them here. We’re not calling it a terror attack at this point. Again, it’s way too early to speculate motive. I know there’s a lot out there in social media, but I ask people just to give us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene. A lot of witnesses were here. We’ve taken them to another location.

SPEAKER 17 : 7:42

I’m curious when he says that he doesn’t immediately want to guess on a motive. I mean, again, the guy went out there screaming free Palestine and was trying to set Jewish people on fire. I’m just curious. I mean, is that I’m curious where that fits in. If you need a suggestion as to motive, where do you think that comes in at? This is the state where they literally took somebody to court because he didn’t want to bake a cake. This is the state that did that. Colorado. They took a dude to court because he didn’t want to bake a cake. But somebody going out there screaming free Palestine while trying to set Jewish people on fire. Well, you know, hey, I mean, best we can do is say it was an incident. That’s all we can do. Everything is so backwards. This is how people get radicalized. You know, this is exactly how it happens. I mean, against this stuff. Good heavens. I mean, spare a thought for the victims, all of these, you know, individuals out here that are sitting here talking about this like it’s just like some one-off. It is just, it’s wild. And I think the worst, though, if I had to pick maybe perhaps the worst soundbite from all of this, it’s, gosh, heavens, we’re going to have to play this one probably again. Audio soundbite 19. It’s Jamie Raskin. I want you to listen to how he, this is his reaction to this. Listen to where he goes with it.

SPEAKER 21 : 9:16

Across the country, we are still in the midst of a gun violence epidemic. So we need to be acting with due concern for human life. I mean, this is why, of course, we have been fighting for a universal violent criminal background check. We are for a ban on military style assault weapons in the country. You know, our lax gun laws are a danger to everybody in America.

SPEAKER 17 : 9:46

They have all the gun-free laws there, all the gun-free zone laws. They have all of that in Colorado. They have all those. I mean, that state completely started implementing California-style gun control. So I don’t know what he’s talking about, but what the hell did that have to do with what this guy did, throwing Molotov cocktails and trying to light people on fire? What does that have to do with it? I mean, it’s rhetorical. The answer is nothing, but I guarantee you there were probably some good law-abiding Colorado residents that would have loved nothing more to have been able to be armed and be able to exercise their Second Amendment when a crazy, this terrorist, this murderous, evil terrorist is running around trying to light people on fire. The gun control in that situation is two in the chest, one in the head to that guy. That’s gun control. That’s it. Double tap. That’s gun control in respect to that context. This is wild, though. It’s just wild. And for whatever reason, I don’t know why, and we played that sound about McKay being upset on the issue of this the classification as a terrorist. What does the FBI lose by classifying it as a terrorist, classifying this as a terrorist attack? Because, you know, I’m trying to understand why anyone would object to that. It is. I mean, the guy’s motivations were terrorism. He’s using terror as a tactic. He’s setting people on fire, not to mention he’s in here illegally. This is another case of a guy who was overstaying his visa. Then he was given a work permit. He kept being given all of these extensions by the Biden administration. I’m waiting to see Jamie Raskin or others go and try to have a margarita with this guy. Different type of cocktail. We have a lot more on the way. We’ve got headlines coming up as we move towards the bottom of this first hour and the partners. Those future memories can be stolen from you.

SPEAKER 14 : 12:54

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.

SPEAKER 17 : 13:00

All right, so first up, turmoil. Lots of worries are swirling over cuts to federal agencies as hurricane season begins. And by turmoil and panic, I mean the media is trying to get you to be in turmoil and to panic over the fact that they’re only reducing redundancy and any kind of waste. It does not mean that no one’s going to be able to warn you about an oncoming hurricane. Stop it. That’s not going to work. It’s not going to happen. I can’t stand the hyperbole that goes along with this stuff. Also, this home sellers now outnumber buyers by half a million, according to new statistics via Redfin and The Hill. It’s the first time that this is, well, not the first time. It’s the first time in a long time. Six of the top 10 buyers markets are in Florida. And there’s about 500,000 more people selling homes than there are buyers right now. Also, long-term unemployment hits a two-year high. Hiring has slowed amid economic uncertainty. Who’s causing the uncertainty, I pray tell? Would it rhyme with Schmidt? I’m just saying. Does it rhyme with Schmidt? It does. Okay, yeah. So this is the 2025 U.S. job market, so we still have lagging unemployment. The FDA has approved, for some reason, Moderna’s new lower dose completely. ineffective quote unquote vaccine. It’s not a vaccine. It’s a shot of magic juice. It doesn’t actually prevent the transmission of the virus. Nobody knows why the hell they ever said that because it never did it. People would still get it. And that’s why, because it didn’t actually immunize you from anything. It isn’t like an immunization. So kind of questioning the entire point of it. But we weren’t allowed to do that back then because it was considered fascist. I know. Welcome to 2025, the United States, where words have no meanings anymore. And you can just pick whatever the hell you want and parse it together. And it makes sense because you identify it as such. Exercise, they said, is this is the dumbest. This is the stupidest survey ever. Exercise is better than drugs to stop cancer returning after treatment, according to a new trial. So if you weren’t aware that exercise was good for you, this study has suggested exercise is not only good for you, but it can also be more effective than the drugs to stop cancer from returning. I’m so glad that the Guardian was there able to. Tell us that completely obvious, totally obvious headline. A couple of other things to hit as well. We’re going to get into that story of the trans in California where it was a track and field meet and you had a trans athlete end up taking the top spot. We’re going to have to dive into that. Also, over at Harvard, a professor was fired for being dishonest in a study about dishonesty. It’s from not the bee. And it’s a Harvard professor who is accused of plagiarism. Now, again, the study was about dishonesty. And this Harvard professor was Francesca Gino literally plagiarized sources from student thesis, thesis, blogs, news reports, all kinds of stuff in falsified. Data in a story about falsification makes all the sense in the world. There you go. That’s Harvard. We have a lot more on the way. The latest with Boulder and more. Stick with us. Angel Studios, a new partner to the program. And I don’t know if you’ve seen some of their some of the films that they have.

SPEAKER 07 : 18:11

And so there’s folks at Boston University who count. How many people have died because of what Doge did at USAID? And USAID was a very ill-managed organization. That’s true. But according to the Boston University folks, so far 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected. 6,000 children are dead because of what Doge did. That’s just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead, and we’re four months in. Now, you add, accumulate that over four years, the number of dead grows very high.

SPEAKER 17 : 18:44

This is one of the dumbest things ever. Do you realize that the numbers that they keep basing this off of, what was it, some kind of… erroneous made-up computation from some broad. I don’t even remember. They don’t even know where it came from. Somebody saw it and they thought, oh my gosh, and then they just all started parroting the same thing. That’s from PBS. The discussion of this, who’s that? That was, is it not David Brooks? Yeah, it was David Brooks. That’s right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On PBS. They know it’s, you know, it’s because it’s, you know, there’s U.S. aid cuts. It must be Elon Musk is just like Stalin. That’s the argument that he’s making there. They can’t wait. How did people die from AIDS? Because we’re not wasting millions of dollars through USAID. And you realize that we were getting the money was getting to literally Hezbollah. We were billions and billions and billions were being wasted on things that had nothing to do with this stated original purpose of that entity. But, you know, you have, I guess, I don’t know why they think that they’re running with this, you know, Pollywood kind of math where they’re saying, oh, it’s 300,000. The number keeps increasing every single time somebody tells this story. It’s like a big fish story just gets bigger and bigger. The number keeps increasing all the more. But it’s it’s asinine. It’s all about ways for an abuse. And that emotional appeal does not work. It does not work. Like, who was it? Bono was on. I think Bono was talking to Rogan and he did push back on him. Rogan did, thankfully. But Bono was another one out there repeating the same lie, which I found incredibly rich from a guy who actually ran away from having to pay his fair share in Ireland. He didn’t want to pay taxes in Ireland. His charities give a pittance to the state of causes that they purport to help. And he’s real chummy with the Bidens. When I went to the State of the Union a couple of years ago, he was in the next box over as a guest of the Bidens. And they were really chummy. I mean, you know, you can see when someone’s invited as a guest of a politician and it’s like a professional courtesy. And, you know, they know each other. They’re associated. And, you know, they have, you know, a very polite, reserved greeting, etc. No, they knew each other. They were real chummy. I just think it’s I don’t know why a guy who can’t vote here is lamenting over what taxpayers are decreeing be done with our money. Right. Hell, I think I pay more taxes in Bono at this point. And I have like maybe not even a percentage of what he’s got in terms of net worth. How interesting is that? I mean, if he really wanted to, I mean, he could donate more of his own salary to their version of the Treasury in Ireland. But they fought that. They fought paying taxes. And he’s worth more than all of us combined. Incredibly rich. But that’s how these people are. They’re so generous with everybody else’s money. They claim to, I mean, South Park was right about him. They claim to believe in this stuff, but they don’t actually show it with their actions. They construct these little veneers where it gives the appearance of caring about this issue without any of the work or sacrifice of either spending time or money on it. But these are fake numbers. What do they think they’re going to accomplish with us? Nobody believes them. Nobody believes these people coming out with these numbers. Oh, 300,000 people. They died from AIDS. They died. I don’t think that the, no. How did, how does using taxpayer dollars prevent people from getting AIDS? Anybody care to share? How does that, how does that work? Is that, what do you do? Do you wipe the AIDS away with the money? I don’t know. Like, how does that work? Huh? it’s, it’s frustrating. I’m just trying to figure out what, I mean, are you just going to, are you going to pay it to go away? What does that, what does that do? But this, this is, it’s, we’re not, the argument is that if you want any kind of accountability with your federal dollars and you’re murdering people, you want people to die in an actual literal real AIDS fire cane, not one that’s just, you know, not a rhetorical one. It’s so, this is so goofy. This is just it’s so goofy. It’s just they need to stop this. So the. Speaking of Doge and, you know, we were talking about the terror attack in Boulder. Think about this, because now you have people who are carving swastika symbols on electric vehicles. And then you have actual Nazis in Boulder that are trying to set Jewish people on fire. And I don’t really hear a lot from those same people. Right. I mean, they were saying that we there was actually in the Kroger parking lot cane in our town. A friend of mine took a photo of a vehicle that was in a Kroger parking lot in our town in Texas. And they had a make a homemade sign that said, I purchased this before I found out that Musk was a Nazi. And then they wrote taco on it. I think it was probably somebody on the right who did it and just put that up, you know, to keep their car from getting because everybody that I know that has an electric vehicle now of and I have a lot of friends that have Teslas. Almost all of them, except for like one or two, have had their cars keyed in and around Dallas. That’s insane. So and they and their argument is that that Musk is a Nazi because he wanted to save billions of dollars of taxpayer funding. Because he wanted to do what everybody pretends that they want to do and cut government spending. But he was somehow a Nazi for doing that. Meanwhile, in Boulder, you have a guy burning Jews. In Maryland, you had people shooting at Jews. I think those might be the real Nazis and not a guy who just simply makes electric vehicles and volunteered to give a glorified audit of the federal government and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. I feel like that’s that’s the better line to take on this. It’s just this insane. It’s insane. Audio sound by 11. Jasmine Crockett. says this is what’s going to happen. If Democrats get control of the House, expect this. This will be one of the many, many things that happen. Listen, I’ll give somebody 11.

SPEAKER 01 : 25:01

We have tried to subpoena Elon Musk before. The Republicans did not want to do that. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to have your main man come in and tell us about all the great work that he’s doing, unless he absolutely isn’t doing any great work. So listen, I think that unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait until the Democrats are in the majority, which will hopefully be in the midterms. And then we can absolutely bring Elon Musk in and we can have him under oath and we can have him tell us about everything that he did. Because as I’ve been home this week to hear from my seniors that are concerned and don’t have answers about how much information he had access to and what he did with that sensitive information, they are scared.

SPEAKER 17 : 25:43

Okay, well, I don’t know. They’re scared because you’re lying to them. I’m not quite sure what a couple of people with read-only access covered by an NDA, why that would make anybody scared. But it sounds like Democrats are petrified of losing a tool that they, I mean, I don’t know how long, years, decades, generations, that they’ve used to siphon money from the American taxpayer under the guise of Social Security. It’s a Ponzi scheme that just is called Social Security. That’s what it is. the press gets mad when you say that but it’s true that’s exactly how it works how how would this not how does this not work like any other scam he was evaluating it so now they’re going to go for no they have no reason at all whatsoever there’s no there is no suspicion of criminality there is no evidence to suggest in any way that anything that they have done is below board nothing But it’s just that they don’t like it. So this is giving you some there’s telling you what they’re going to do should, heaven forbid, they win the House back in midterm elections. This is going to be a witch hunt. You’re going to have another impeachment. They’re going to subpoena Musk. They’re going to tie him up in all sorts of lawfare. It’s going to be just like it. And then, you know, some of it also is a chilling effect. It’s a chilling effect to all of these other Republicans that might be getting a little uppity about fiscal accountability. It’s also designed to be a chilling effect for these people. It’s exactly what it is. They don’t want anyone else trying to have the government take accountability. They don’t want anyone else going in and looking at the books. They don’t want any of it. And I am it’s just the biggest stories that they have overlooked in favor of just blatant propaganda. For instance, I do somebody 15 Bill Clinton on Biden’s decline, which is a major story. But everyone’s acting like they just didn’t notice it until it was safe to notice. Listen.

SPEAKER 06 : 27:50

Speaking of aging, there’s this book that came out that talks about Joe Biden and the people around him seeing that he had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president? No.

SPEAKER 16 : 28:11

I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was could anybody do that job until they were 86 and we’d had several long talks i had never seen him and walked away thinking he can’t do this anymore he was always on top of his brief boy he’s a good liar and he never saw any he’s so good at lying i didn’t know anything about any of this and i haven’t read the book he’s not even looking at her he’s just looking at the floor

SPEAKER 17 : 28:41

And she’s going to take that and be like, oh, yeah, I accept that. That’s a good answer. Nobody believes this. Nobody believes it at all whatsoever that they did not pay attention. They all knew and they ran with it anyway because they needed to have power. They needed to have power. They didn’t have any other Democrat contenders ready. They were going to have Cuomo, remember, but the nursing home thing with COVID knocked him out of contention. Gavin Newsom’s not ready yet. Cuomo was their guy. That was the guy that they were grooming at the time. That’s why that was such a big deal in New York when all of that came out about what he did with nursing home patients and shoving people that had viruses, et cetera, in these nursing homes and more than just coronavirus, like flu and everything else. He was the golden boy until all that happened. And then they had to go buy some time. They had to buy some time. Who else are they going to run? Biden was only ever kind of a placeholder to begin with. He had waited his turn. He waited in line. It took his turn. He played by the party rules. He was a team player. He didn’t pull a Hillary, how Hillary wanted to run instead of Barack Obama. And so she ended up running anyway against the Democrat Party. And they challenged him in the primary. This is going all the way back to 2008. No, Biden didn’t do that. He waited his turn. He did what he was supposed to do and he was rewarded. James Clyburn rewarded him by saving South Carolina for him and putting him across the threshold during the caucuses and primaries. And same thing, they needed a placeholder. He’s not, he was never really making decisions. It was all leftover remnants from the Obama-Biden era and even going, probably even some of the Clintonistas going so far back as that. But They all knew. And now they’re pretending, wow, can you believe it? We only just now noticed this. So crazy. The media, we only just now noticed this. Do you really believe that? No, nobody does. We have more on the way. Gold Co. Precious Metals. Honestly, you need the security that precious metals provide during this. What do you call it? Economic uncertainty. I don’t even know how we would refer to it. GoldCo can do that. And they’re so incredibly easy to work with. You can get your free 2025 gold and silver kit today.

Gold and silver are not tied to the performance of the stock market or a government debt. It’s a real tangible way to safeguard your portfolio. So get educated before you invest with their free 2025 gold and silver kit. It will break down everything that you need to know about how precious

SPEAKER 19 : 31:56

Happy Pride Month. In my Target that used to have the Pride section, it’s now all USA. Yay. It’s an American summer. Except for tourism, because tourism’s down, because no one wants to come here. USA, woo! And honestly, my dad served in the military, and I’d love to be really proud of this nation, but it’s hard to be proud of it under Donald Trump. But hey, you know, while you’re here, pick up a USA bikini. You know, why not?

SPEAKER 17 : 32:29

Yeah, Target’s really taken this anti-DEI thing to another level. I mean, they’ve always had pro-USA stuff. What is your damage? I cannot stand broads like this. First off, if you want pride stuff, go to Etsy or something like that. I mean, a store can choose to, you know, good grief. Everybody’s so tired of it. It’s like all this Chinese-made, mass-produced, rainbow-colored garbage. I mean, and it’s so obviously pandering, but maybe, I don’t know, that’s about as rich as her consumer appetite is, you know, mass-produced Chinese-made garbage that’s just coated in rainbows for a virtue signal purpose. I mean, why do people record themselves in stores like this? I don’t get it either. Not every single moment of your life has to be recorded and splayed out there like this. She seems like she’s real fun, Cain. Yeah, she seems like she’s a bag of hoots.

SPEAKER 14 : 33:26

Life of the party.

SPEAKER 17 : 33:27

Yeah, that one. Life of the party. She seems like a real blast. No, she isn’t proud of her country because of who’s in the White House. If your pride about this nation is predicated upon specifically who’s in the White House, you’re not proud of your nation, period. And the problem is you. Thank you. You can still… not agree with someone who’s in an elected office and still love your country. And maybe that’s difficult for, you know, stunted broads like this to understand, but the problem is her, not anybody else. I can’t even imagine, like, well, I want to be proud of my country, but I was still proud of my country when Barack Obama was in the White House. One does not mutually exclude the other. That doesn’t even make any sense. And I have to question your whole… your fidelity towards the nation anyway. I think that gets called into question. We have a lot still to come, including this issue with the trans athlete in California. The mom has hit back against the critics, the mom for enabling her son to compete as a female after having gone through puberty as a male and blowing away the competition at a track and field meet like that shocking that that you know that it would be shocking if the student did anything other than first place everything so the pushback on that and you know it’s because it’s pride month is it pride it started today yesterday really I will say, it does seem like there is a little bit less of rainbow madness everywhere, right? I mean, am I just not looking? I haven’t been to a retail store. I just don’t ever go. Am I just not looking?

SPEAKER 14 : 35:24

I think there’s a little downtick of it this year.

SPEAKER 17 : 35:28

Because I don’t think Google had their… Google doesn’t have their… Usually they do it for the whole month.

SPEAKER 14 : 35:33

Oh, yeah, look. I’m looking at Google right now. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER 17 : 35:37

Yeah, usually they do it. They have like a whole pride thing when you use their search engine and it’s like it’s the entire month. But they haven’t done anything. So that’s just I find that just kind of interesting. Is it because people are just tired of all the DEI everywhere, all the things? Maybe. So we have that and a lot more. Blasphemy against Islam is now a crime in the UK. That too as well. Stick with us more in store.

SPEAKER 11 : 35:57

Second place, Lauren Matthews. Our 2025 winner, in a time of 55.70 from East Valley of Spokane, Veronica Garcia.

SPEAKER 17 : 36:20

Yeah, boo him because he took a podium from a woman. He took a podium from a woman, a 17-year-old who went through puberty as a male competing against females. The 400-meter dash, by the way, oh my gosh, that is one where the differences in anatomy and physiology are on absolute clear display. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour. You can listen across the country. Channel 347 is the stream. The chat’s at Rumble. This 17-year-old, this was in California, East Valley High School. Shame on the school, by the way, for allowing someone to compete and rob a female of her rightful first place on that podium. And this… Dude, who goes by the name of Veronica Garcia, won the class to a 400 meter dash by a good amount. And the crowd, as you heard, was not super pleased. And Garcia said and Garcia was just just mean and petty and bitter. I mean, even even after. He told his critics that they needed to get a life and that said that it’s a damn shame they don’t have anything else better to do. I think it’s a damn shame that Veronica Garcia can’t actually be a good enough athlete as a man. So he has to treat the women’s the women’s sports as his JV league. I think it’s a damn shame that Veronica Garcia isn’t a talented athlete, because if he was, he would be able to compete with other men instead of trying to diminish women’s sports. That’s the real damn shame in all of this. and speaking of getting a life why don’t you live the life you were given instead of cosplaying as something that you’re not good heavens but i mean he won it by a pretty significant amount and it was 400 meters the crowd was not happy obviously and uh some of the people uh when he got called up to take that first place spot on the podium, they were, they were booing that Ascension and rightfully so. Why, why should they not? And so some of the females were saying that they should, you know, this, the second place winner should have won state because she’s the best woman. She should have won state. It’s been taken away from her. And there, that is a correct. That’s a, that’s right. That’s accurate to say that. The jumpers, there were two female high jumpers who also in Oregon refused to stand alongside of a transgender rival on the podium at their high school state track and field championships. And they all wore T-shirts that said, keep women’s sports female. There was an individual who had competed, a boy competing as a girl, and none of the women, they turned their backs onto the crowd, and then they were ushered away from the ceremony. They would not take their spots on the podium. I mean, that’s what you’re going to have to do, sadly. That’s what’s going to have to happen. Washington students can participate depending on how they… identify as gender that particular day so technically you could you know you could change it however however you feel however the mood suits you and so this uh i just feel like you know this guy telling everyone to get a life you’re taking theirs you’re you’re taking theirs And this is the 400 meters. That’s a really hard race. That’s a 400 is a really hard race. Have you ever ran the 400 cane? If you asked me to pick the thing that I think would be most hellacious, it’s that.

SPEAKER 14 : 40:27

Yeah, I would imagine.

SPEAKER 17 : 40:27

An all-track and field.

SPEAKER 14 : 40:28

I have not, though.

SPEAKER 17 : 40:29

Jeez. Could not do it. 400 meters is nuts. But there were two transgender teenagers in California and Washington that… this weekend took the number one spots of actual female competitors. And the parents were very, I mean, obviously the parents were upset about this. And I think the, and then the mother of the trans athlete, the guy who’s trying to be a, trying to compete as a woman was very upset about, And their other moms were speaking out as well. The Independent Women’s Forum, they work with one of the mothers who said that I could cry right now on her daughter losing out the state spot to the guy. The others said that it was discriminatory. Veronica Garcia’s mother. I mean, obviously the parents, there’s nothing wrong with their child cheating this way. It’s cheating. If you were a female and you had an artificial level of hormones in your system the way he has in his system naturally, you would be disqualified from competing. They would accuse you of doping. He has an unbelievably ridiculous, unfair biological and physiological advantage over these other females. He’s taller. He has greater muscle mass, greater bone density. He is built… very different. Even though he’s a human, men and women are different. I just find it weird that you have to keep driving this point home, especially at schools of all places. At schools, where they’re supposed to teach this stuff. And they’re supposed to teach science. And they’re supposed to acknowledge fact over fiction. So, I mean, I feel bad for these. I can’t even imagine. I feel bad for these students. I ran track and field. I can’t imagine if I had to compete against a man. I was like a miler and a two miler, and I did four by eight relay. I can’t imagine having to compete against a dude. Now, I could run with the JV dudes, and I was a varsity athlete. I could run with JV and train with JV, and I could keep up with them and beat some of them. But varsity, no. No, couldn’t do a varsity. No female could. That’s just not the way it is. And there’s a reason. I mean, there’s a real scientific reason for this. This is going to become more and more prevalent. And I worry because where were all of the… Well, I guess now second and third wave feminists. I don’t know where all of these women that made a cottage industries out of lecturing women about their rights and threats to their existence. But yet they’re quiet over this. All these bitches out there that scream about your rights, your body, your choice are silent about this. They say nothing about it. They’re a bunch of kept women, kept women by the progressive patriarchy. That’s exactly what they are. They’re not a peep from any of them about this stuff. I mean, if you’re a parent, what are you able to do? I mean, think about it for a moment. It’s more than just a podium for some of these kids. It’s scholarships for these kids. It’s recognition for these kids, publicity for what they do. There are numbers of them that compete, and they hope for college scholarships as a result of their athleticism. And when you are constantly demoted in women’s sports because a man who can’t cut it as a male athlete with men in men’s sports decides to treat your women’s sports as a JV league. Well, what does that I mean, how are you being fairly evaluated and fairly measured if you’re being considered for all of these things? How much does that impact negatively women’s chances of college scholarships and recognition? For their athleticism. When you have men taking their positions on podiums and elsewhere. You know, if this were if this was reversed, it would be. Well, I mean, women can’t women can’t compete. And men’s teams. That’s the difference. You can’t have a player, like from the WNBA, say that she wants to be a man and then identify as a man and go and play in the NBA. It’s not going to happen. She’s going to get her backside beaten to a hole in the ground. It’s not going to happen. It doesn’t happen. Because women can’t compete no matter how much hormones you take or whatever you do. You’re not going to be able to fake the science of anatomy and physiology and chromosomes. You’re not going to be able to fake that. There’s no way that women could do that. But it’s allowed for men to do it. I’m so glad I don’t have daughters. I’m so glad I don’t have daughters in school. My gosh. There’s no way. And as a parent, to allow your child to do this, you’re part of the problem also. To allow your child to compete, if you have a son and he’s competing in women’s sports, you are part of the machine that’s disenfranchising females. You are the predator. You are preying upon women and you are eliminating their sports. Women didn’t take over men’s sports. We created our own. Women didn’t take over Major League Baseball. We didn’t take over any of that. We created our own sports teams, our own leagues. We did all of that. Our own. Even basketball. Our own. If this is something trans want to do, then create your own league. But you’re not going to hijack the women’s league. Because you’re not a real female. It’s not offensive to state the obvious. It’s offensive to pretend otherwise. Yeah, this was state, man. I can’t even imagine. Can’t even imagine it’s state. And then this dude’s like, well, I hope they get a life. Blah, blah, blah. It shows who they are as people. Way to be a sore. Now, you’re not even a winner. You’re a sore cheater. What a sore cheater. I just, I feel bad for these kids. I feel bad for these students today. Some of the other things that we have on deck, too. This, all this latest with this attack that was in Boulder and illegal immigration. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this guy was in the country illegally, overstayed his visa allowance, and the Biden administration gave him a work permit. Just gave him a work permit. He came in on a non-immigrant visa and he was supposed to be done in February of 23, but he overstayed and never left. And then he filed some sort of claim, a potential asylum claim. And then Biden, the Biden administration gave him a work permit that expired March 28th of this year. I’m waiting for them to call him Colorado man, Colorado man. I mean, they’re already having issues with identifying him as a terrorist, a terrorist suspect. We have more on this here coming up as we roll towards headlines. It’s the folks over at Burna Gun, BYRNA. It’s always good to have diverse options, to have some diversity where it concerns your weapon choices. And I mean, you have different calibers. You’ve got, you know, rifles and you’ve got pistols and you carry blades. And, you know, I think you can have brass knuckles now in Texas. I’m just saying, you know, you got all kinds of stuff, right? So why not have something like a Burna gun also? I think this is particularly helpful if you’re one of those college kids that’s not 21 years old and you can’t carry a handgun and you want to be able to protect yourself, whether you’re walking to your car somewhere or whether you’re you know, in your, you know, condo or dorm or whatever, the Burna gun allows you to do that. There’s, I think for the, for this purpose, the two models I would suggest are the Burna SD. That’s their top selling one. They also have the new CL, which is their compact launcher. It’s smaller, almost 40% smaller and more compact than the Burna SD. Everything made in the USA. And it shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Stun guns, all that. They’ve got like maybe one or two rounds. This has a heck of a lot more. You got up to what I think like five, six rounds in this. And it’s an effective deterrent that doesn’t care about background checks. It does not care about there’s no waiting periods. It doesn’t care about gun free zone signs. All of that stuff is completely safe. and applicable to the Berna gun. So you have legal flexibility and the ability to defend yourself. So it’s always good to diversify. You can see what all they have at Berna.com slash Dana. Check out the new Berna CL. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana. Berna.

SPEAKER 14 : 49:17

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.

SPEAKER 17 : 49:23

So the real number of steps you need to do to lose weight. Are you serious? You have to have a magic number of steps? I would think that there’s a lot more that goes into it than that. I don’t really, they said that there’s a magic. Of course, everybody’s different. Of course it is. I just get up and walk around. That’s it. I mean, do you really need like, someone’s like, well, I don’t know, 7,000 steps maybe. I don’t count steps. I get mad when my watch is like, you did it. You stood. It’s like, shut up. That annoys me. I was like, stop interrupting me and telling me obvious things. PBS is suing the Trump administration over funding cuts. Are they using their donors’ money to sue over funding cuts, or are they using taxpayer money to sue taxpayers for not giving them more taxpayer dollars? Great question. I would like to know, inquiring minds and all. But Axios says that they filed suit because they’re having a legal tantrum now over getting taxpayer dollars. I still don’t think we need to fund PBS. We don’t. We absolutely don’t. They said that the president doesn’t have the authority to serve as the arbiter of their programming. You and I fund it. I am your, I am head broad. I am the H-B-I-C, okay? H-B-I-C with my tax dollars. So yeah, I’m going to bust up and I’m going to knock everything off of your VP’s desk, your president’s desk, and I’m going to put my feet up on it because that desk is my desk. You see the plaque that all of a sudden appeared when I walked in the room? It says H-B-I-C’s desk. I’m the taxpayer. That’s my desk. I get to do with it what I want. You get my money. I will. I absolutely get to own you. That’s how that works. And I own what my money purchases, whether it’s of my free will or not. So there you go. But they’re saying that it violates their First Amendment rights and you don’t have First Amendment rights. Because remember, I thought the left said that corporations weren’t people. Oh, what? I hate it when their logic just ties them all up like that. It’s so bad. Let’s see there. Now we have one facility that lost a whole bunch of chickens. Is that 95% of Arizona chickens? Let’s see. Well, this one company called Hickman’s of their chickens to bird flu. They say it’s going to take two years to rebuild. Hickman’s Family Farms, the largest egg company in the Southwest. They said 95% of their birds were lost to an outbreak of bird flu. And they declared an animal disease emergency. This really, honestly, this has a lot to do with the egg stuff also. Although I know whether they’re saying egg prices are going down, I think it would go down faster if we didn’t have the very interestingly timed bird flu. I’m not saying tinfoil or anything, but if it walks like a chicken and lays eggs like a chicken, it’s probably Joe Biden in a costume, forgetting that he’s a human. It’s true. Let’s see this Port Authority police rescue a toddler from a luggage system. How does this happen? This little kid got in there as a two year old boy who got into the checked baggage conveyor belt system at Newark and they prevented what could have been a very dangerous situation or 630 p.m. Somehow the two-year-old managed to get onto the conveyor belt next to the counter. They said it happened in a blink of an eye. And the conveyor goes to a chute into the terminal’s luggage screening system, which is exactly where the toddler plunged. There’s some Port Authority officers who happen to be within earshot, and they sprang into action. They were able to move into the system, they said, immediately. One of them was able to see the kid as he was approaching the x-ray units. So thankfully, they got him and pulled him to safety. I mean, you know, just keep an eye on those kids. I’m just saying. But two-year-olds move fast. You think they don’t? When they don’t want to do anything, they’re just like a glacial pace. But when they want to do something, they’re on a conveyor belt like that. Stick with us. Super beat. Super brain. Blame it on them, right? Healthy metabolism, healthy blood sugar, all good things. So you can do that with the Super Bering product. It’s at Sam’s Club.

SPEAKER 09 : 54:45

Called out on this because I called Donald Trump a wannabe dictator. It’s because he is. It’s because he is. Oh. The governor’s being mean and the governor’s speaking out on that. Well, maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner. Maybe it’s time for us to be a little more fierce. Because… We have to ferociously push back on this. And again, I’ll speak to my teacher colleagues in here. The thing that bothers a teacher more than anything is to watch a bully, to watch this bully and to stop it. And when it’s a child, you talk to them and you tell them why bullying is wrong. But when it’s adult like Donald Trump, you bully the out of him back. You push back. You make sure they know it’s not there.

SPEAKER 17 : 55:36

So I’m curious, like, how do you get more… How do you get meaner after you firebomb stuff and you burn down car dealerships? What’s meaner than that?

SPEAKER 14 : 55:48

Murder? Oh, they do that too.

SPEAKER 17 : 55:52

Yeah. Yeah. More murder? Welcome back. It’s Tim Walls. who, remember, his wife likes the smelling of, she likes the smell of burning tires and destruction and arson and all that, all the nine yards. She loves all that. Who could ever forget that sound bite? Dana Lash with you, bottom of this second hour. Yeah, I’m trying to figure out how do they get meaner? I mean, we’ve already had, I mean, people are damaging private property. They’re keying cars. They’re running people off the road if they’re driving Teslas. They are, I mean, how do you get meaner than or take it one step higher if you’re firebombing a car dealership? I mean, I got that’s kind of their whole problem, though, isn’t it? I mean, maybe before you get meaner about things, why don’t you get like something, maybe a platform, maybe some policy proposals? That’s a good idea. You know, before you just decide to run out and just start wild and for wild sake, like, you know, maybe maybe come up with some policies or something beforehand. I still don’t think that they’ve articulated anything other than Trump. I think that’s it. They haven’t. actually been able to foment any kind of clear articulate financial policy they haven’t been able to they haven’t been able to actually propose anything so i’m just curious where do they think this is going now how do you go how do you i don’t want them to get me to people are going to die they’re going to start killing people more people i mean So maybe they need to think about their rhetoric, because isn’t that what you always hear from the left? Your rhetoric. Gosh, after Parkland, that’s all we heard from people was your rhetoric, your rhetoric. Oh my gosh, you have to watch your rhetoric. Can you believe it? Someone’s going to be, oh my goodness, someone’s going to be inspired by. But if it’s Democrats, it’s completely overlooked. Entirely overlooked. So a few other things to touch on. The Supreme Court turned down an assault weapons ban challenge. And I thought this was kind of interesting because, you know, it’s not like, you know, it’s our constitutional rights or anything like that. The Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to This, well, challenge to assault weapons. This comes by way, I think it’s SCOTUSblog and Fox DC. They rejected a case opposing the measure. It has to do with Snoke v. Brown in the state of Maryland. And this was enacted after the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre that took place in Connecticut in 2012. And three of the Supreme Court justices, the three conservative justices, publicly stated that they would have taken up a challenge to a state assault weapons ban. A fourth expressed doubt about the constitutionality of such laws. And that suggests that perhaps the court may revisit this issue in the future. Apparently, they also denied certain an ocean state tactical versus Rhode Island. And the whole issue of the assault weapons, you know, it’s a completely fabricated phrase that’s used to describe pretty much any semi-automatic rifle, period, regardless of whether or not it accepts a detachable magazine. They just use it to describe everything. And I… And they actually don’t even get into the differences. Like, why is everything usually typically AR platform? Why are those considered the ones that are assault weapons? And something like, your deer rifle isn’t. I don’t want to give them ideas, but I’m just highlighting the inconsistency of their reasoning. So there’s a lot of interesting thought here. To me, it signals that maybe this is something that they might… come back to. Now, Justice Thomas, he did not like the decision to sort of to deny cert to this challenge on the so-called Maryland assault weapons ban. And he made sure when he was Justice Kavanaugh, when he was making a statement about it, he made sure to note that he didn’t really it doesn’t necessarily mean that the court believes that the Fourth Circuit, when they were upholding the ban, got it right, but that it means that there’s lawful gun owners that are, you know, there might be harmed by holding off on this. Clarence Thomas, he recognized it with his dissent. He said, quote, the question is of critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding AR-15 owners throughout the country. And the court has avoided deciding it for a full decade. Thomas also suggested that waiting another term doesn’t make any sense. And that, quote, the lower courts in the jurisdictions that ban AR-15s appear bent on distorting this court’s Second Amendment precedents. And he was pretty blistering. He laid out all of the errors that they made in the Fourth Circuit in this ban and whether or not the appellate court actually had properly placed the burden of proof. As it pertains to the law on the plaintiffs when it was up when Maryland has to make its case, Maryland has to prove that in terms of traditional firearm ownership, this ban satisfies that. And they didn’t do it. So I don’t know. Thomas was displeased. And. But I don’t get the sense that they’re not going to revisit it. At least that’s the hope. So we have this we have this issue as well with the Supreme Court. We’ll talk. I’ll have something up about that over a chapter and verse. And then, of course, you know, we had the Cory Booker thing came. Was he doing a Nazi salute?

SPEAKER 14 : 62:11

Well, if you believe Elon Musk did a Nazi salute, then you should believe that he did one.

SPEAKER 17 : 62:17

I mean, it is interesting. The way that… The progressive press is writing it. It’s very interesting. But they everybody went after Musk for saying when he was waving to someone for saying that what that what he was giving a Nazi salute. And now everyone’s pointing out that Booker’s wave has fueled debate after a similar gesture from Musk grew widespread media attention. I don’t know. It seems like that looks a little Nazi. It’s exactly like what I did not see that coming. I mean, I think he was waving, but I don’t want to play that game. I want to play their game. Oh, he was totally, he was like, he, I can’t distinguish the difference. I can’t tell the difference between him and the dude. He was trying to light Jews on fire out there in Boulder, Kane. I mean, going by the Dems’ rules.

SPEAKER 14 : 63:11

Now, cut 14 is a little look back as to how they treated Elon Musk when he did the exact same thing Cory Booker did. If you want to hear how they handled it then.

SPEAKER 17 : 63:19

Yeah, let’s listen, because I’m sure that they gave him the benefit of the doubt too, right? Let’s hear it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead.

SPEAKER 12 : 63:24

And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you.

SPEAKER 04 : 63:33

So it looks like he like took his heart after this moment when viral congressman, the Anti-Defamation League, released a statement. We can show this saying in part, it seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute. Of course, if you go on social media, there are lots of other people with lots of other opinions and say this looks very much like a Nazi salute.

SPEAKER 17 : 63:55

Hmm. Hmm. Does it, though? So Cory Booker’s then is a Nazi salute. I mean, those are the rules. That’s what I’m told.

SPEAKER 14 : 64:03

Yeah, looks very much like a Nazi salute.

SPEAKER 17 : 64:04

Looks pretty Hitler-y. Looked a little Hitler-ific right there. Just those are the rules. See, this is when you’re going to have people on the right. I have no problem with people holding the left up by their own standards. So I think it’s perfectly applicable. It’s completely fine. So where is the left? They haven’t really written about it. Except to say that MAGA is mad. MAGA’s mad. MAGA slams Cory Booker. Or maybe people are just mad at the media. MAGA melts down over Cory Booker’s Nazi salute. That’s an actual headline from the Daily Beast. Oh my gosh. Someone goes, a tale of two Nazi salutes. Elon Musk versus Cory Booker. Oh my gosh. These headlines are so stupid. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I mean, why is Elon Musk’s considered that, but Cory Booker’s isn’t? I don’t know. But that’s the media.

SPEAKER 14 : 65:02

It’s D different.

SPEAKER 17 : 65:04

It’s D different. I don’t know. I’m just going to say every time they raise their hands, it’s a Nazi salute. I don’t know. I mean, might as well at this point. It’s all these people have. What is Cory Booker even doing? I don’t understand the events that he goes to and the little speeches that he gives. I don’t get it. So coming up, apparently a lot of corporations have abandoned the Pride Month virtue signaling. Because it’s always that time of the month where… Or that time of the year. Month for them, yeah. It’s always that time of the year where you go in the store and it’s just everything is rainbow everything. And I don’t get it. Like Sesame Street had a rainbow arm of puppets holding hands. And I’m thinking, why does it… I mean, it’s… Basically, how you have sex. Why are we noting this for a kid’s show, of all things? But apparently, there are not… I guess the Yankees did it. The Devil Church did it. But apparently, a lot of Target and some of these others, they’re not really… They’re not… covering everything with rainbows. I don’t think I’m gonna be seeing rainbow mouthwash. That was an actual thing, the pride stuff on a mouthwash. I legit saw that in a store and I thought, why do you have to have your mouthwash affirm? this like every does every product you use this is my pride toothpick this is my pride dish towel this is my pride cream my pride eggs my pride butter my proud milk like it all has to be pride like I’m gonna live eat dream sleep and fly through life with pride like what in the world like what why does every single thing made have to constantly affirm something that you choose to do behind closed doors And you claim that you want privacy, but you’re willing to advertise what you do behind closed doors, which is kind of a betrayal of your privacy and ironic that you’re doing it. But why does there constantly have to be this performance? Just live your life. Why does there constantly have to be a performance that goes along with it? But all that stuff, you know, would all sit on the shelves and the clearance section after. I’ve noticed that a lot. I’ve noticed that a lot, too. All of that stuff piles in. It’s just nobody buys it. Nobody’s going to get rainbow stuff. Yeah, it’s like you’re just… So we’ve got that coming up. We’ve got Florida Man on the way as well as we move.

It’s time for Florida Man. Sometimes I see these Florida Man headlines and I’m like, no, I don’t. This two Florida men dumpster dive for a giant shark that was thrown out by a defunct Joe’s Crab Shack. It wasn’t like a real edible shark. It was just like a giant plastic shark. And apparently it was closing down Joe’s Crab Shack. And then in Fort Myers, Florida, these two dudes apparently went and got the giant shark out of the dumpster. They were very happily walking away from the restaurant with a giant shark. Where would you put that?

SPEAKER 14 : 68:56

Yeah, what the heck dumpster is going to hold that?

SPEAKER 17 : 68:58

I mean, but more importantly, how would you integrate that into your home decor?

SPEAKER 14 : 69:03

The man cave.

SPEAKER 17 : 69:04

The giant shark. For what? Is it like a pod you could sleep in? Would you mount it on your wall somewhere? That would be cool.

SPEAKER 14 : 69:10

It’s a giant shark. What do you mean for what?

SPEAKER 17 : 69:12

Well, like, what do you use it for?

SPEAKER 14 : 69:14

It’s a giant shark.

SPEAKER 17 : 69:15

But yeah, but like form follows function and all that.

SPEAKER 14 : 69:17

So look at function.

SPEAKER 17 : 69:20

I mean, I’m just saying you could use it for something.

SPEAKER 14 : 69:22

You could. To look at and tell stories.

SPEAKER 17 : 69:25

Wow, what a nice shark you have there. Yes, it’s a great conversation piece.

SPEAKER 14 : 69:28

It’ll fill up your whole living room. Guess where it came from?

SPEAKER 17 : 69:31

The dumpster at Joe’s Crab Shack. Woo! I guess it was fair game. I don’t know. Could you put it above your fireplace? Like you would, you know? It’s a big fireplace. Yeah, like treat it like a trophy. I don’t know. I’m just saying. Yeah. The I’ve got to this one’s cracking me up. So a man is suing Walt Disney World over Florida water slides, quote, exhilarating speeds. The man was hurt on a high-speed water slide at the Blizzard Beach water park. I don’t do water parks. I’m just not into it. Because you’re in people’s suit. And it’s gross. You’re in people’s suit. And you’re just seasoning yourself with sunblock. And then you’re getting into people’s suit. The guy’s name is Eugene Strickland. He visited the water park. And he tried the downhill double-dipper slide. He weighed… Oh, well, here might be one issue, one problem that we have, Cain. The slide has a weight limit of 300 pounds, and Strickland clocks in at 334 pounds. Yeah, there it is. 34 poundages more than the actual weight limit of the slide. So he said he got on the ride and became airborne. I mean, that must be exhilarating because he’s 334 pounds and that thing yeeted him into the atmosphere. He said that the design and the exhilarating speeds he got, he forcefully landed on the hard plastic surface of the slide and he has severe injuries. And he said he’s accusing Walt Disney World of negligence. Or you were 35 pounds over the weight limit. You were already 330, you were 334 pounds. The limit on that is 300. It’s not, I can’t believe I’m defending them, but it’s not their problem. It’s your fat ass’s fault. Eat a salad. Gosh, I’m done with this. Like you knew you’d suck. That’s like me exceeding the weight limit or height or something of a ride. It’s for your own safety. But I gotta say, I am super impressed that it was enough to send all 334 pounds of his fat backside into the air. I am incredibly impressed at that. Would you try that water slide?

SPEAKER 14 : 71:40

I could try it, but I’m not gonna.

SPEAKER 17 : 71:42

Man. Don’t want this headline because that is bad and this is also bad. Um… I mean, oh, some of these are, what the hell happened? I told you about the duck that terrorized the whole neighborhood. An update on that, that duck was relocated. It’s found a new home to terrorize. Stick with us, third hour on the way. All Family Pharmacy, great website.

SPEAKER 18 : 73:09

well my view of what happened is outrageous my first concern was for the safety of my staff member I didn’t say anything I decided to speak out after the DHS released their misleading and frankly lying story about what happened DHS was upset that some of my staff members were watching them grab immigrants emerging from an immigration court in the same building a floor below. And they were upset that my staff invited some of the observers up to my office. They then came up to the office and demanded entrance. One of my staff members said, you can’t come in here, you need a warrant. They said, no, we don’t need a warrant, which is incorrect. And they barged in.

SPEAKER 17 : 74:06

But I thought you guys like Back to Blue and all that stuff. It was DHS that were saying that they were harboring rioters. And that was on Wednesday. That’s Jerry Nadler, who’s, of course, he’s speaking against DHS for it. But he was upset because one of his aides was handcuffed. He was, according to Politico. And he they said that one agent was aggressively restraining and not one one of the staffers, et cetera. But they apparently they I mean, the accusations that they were concerned about the they said it was they had earlier incidents and they wanted to make sure everybody was cool. And I mean, they were harboring people who were writing. I was told, Kane, that it’s an insurrection. Yeah. One guy was one woman was briefly detained. And also, I don’t think that people were very cooperative and wanted to answer any kind of questions. He says he’s traumatized. He’s very traumatized. I mean, the guy like literally was battering federal officers. That’s what they’re not exactly being honest about here. I mean, the guy was, I mean, he was battering federal officers. There’s, you know, there’s all kinds of video and photographic evidence, etc. So not quite sure why they think that they’re above the law, but they do every single time. Now, I wanted to also share this with you. This is, where’s this at? Where’s this at? Where’s this at? Oh, gosh, this is so bad. So the media, because we were talking about the story of Boulder, right? And how… I just, you know, just think about this for a minute. Trump was accused of causing J6 because of his rhetoric at his speech, correct? Okay, so you had… Over the weekend, well, last week, all of the far-left media making up this story that Israel was running rampant and just machine-gunning down Gazans. And this was all reported by the Gazan whatever ministry, which is run by Hamas. And then here you have the next day, a guy who is an illegal alien Muslim begins setting Jewish people on fire. So I’m wondering if people are going to make the connection between that rhetoric and action in the same manner that they tried to with the J6 stuff. Because they said it was his rhetoric that caused it, and that’s one of the reasons why they impeached him, even though there was no crime, but whatever. I’m just curious as to whether or not this incident, because that’s what they call it, instead of a terror attack, if this is going to get that, if they’re going to connect the dots here any better. But, Now, think of that, because this is how this is Ken Delanian, who is over at NBC. He wrote, I’m not even kidding you, quote, worth noting that flamethrowers are legal and commercially available for sale. Elon Musk’s company even sold some several years ago. So, yeah, that’s NBC. Yeah, for real. NBC. NBC literally wrote that guy from NBC wrote that. So a guy who is a terrorist. A Muslim terrorist that hates Jewish people who doused peaceful protesters with gasoline and. and set them on fire it’s elon musk’s fault because elon musk sold a flamethrower to that guy no because he used molotov cocktails and you know he made it himself what does i mean so a flamethrower wasn’t involved at all no that flamethrower was not involved at all so what does this have to do with anything I guess that they just wanted to try to name Elon Musk as being part of this somehow. I just wow. Why did they not? I mean, it was a Molotov cocktail, which is not the same thing as a flamethrower. So wait, is there a context in which it would be acceptable to use a flamethrower on a person? Or is it invalidated based upon whether or not Elon Musk made it and sold it? I’m just curious. I mean, that has nothing to do with the fact that a guy tried to burn two Jewish protesters alive. That has nothing, you know, but Elon Musk once sold flamethrowers. And a guy used Molotov cocktails to burn them. But you know what? Elon Musk sold flamethrowers. One day, I hate our media. These rat bastards. Every, however much you loathe them, it is not enough. This is, I mean, you know that attempted murder is illegal. You know that you cannot put fire on someone, right? It’s illegal. And it doesn’t matter if you use a Molotov cocktail or a flamethrower, which this guy did not use. It doesn’t matter. It’s illegal. You can’t put fire on people. It’s kind of bad. It’s kind of a crime. I can’t believe we have to have these conversations. But still. The same media that said, oh my gosh, J6 and his rhetoric. He inspired all of it. Now this guy. I mean, all of the media headlines that were pushed and then this guy reacts and he was going on and on about he was screaming free Palestine and all this stuff. Note in the video that Juan’s showing you on Channel 347 or on the stream. What was it? The pride flag with the inverted trans whatever in it in the background. I’m just curious. Why is his shirt off? It’s hot to throw fire around. Do you think that’s why? He literally doused people in gas and set them on fire. So I’m just curious as to why his shirt was off. It’s gross. But, you know, people were helping the victims, the people that were targeted there. Yeah. I don’t know. I mean, you had the press repeating Hamas’s talking points and saying that Israelis were just going and running and gunning innocent Gazan people, which literally never happened. But OK.

SPEAKER 14 : 80:29

I think the Cory Booker salute was a little dog whistle to this guy.

SPEAKER 17 : 80:33

Oh, you think?

SPEAKER 14 : 80:34

Yeah. I mean, it’s their rule. It’s their rule. Oh, that’s right. Them’s the rules.

SPEAKER 17 : 80:37

Them’s the rules. Yeah, them’s the rules. That’s correct. It is their context. It’s their understanding. So this, I wanted to touch on, speaking of Sharia or fanaticism, in Britain, this is kind of wild, you can’t, what they consider blaspheme Islam over there in Britain. Blasphemy, it’s a crime in the UK, specifically against Islam. It’s kind of weird, right? I mean, were we going pre-Enlightenment now? Is that where we’re at? Making blasphemy great again? The story, I was looking at this. There was a guy who, outside of a Turkish consulate in London, burned a Koran. And it was a lawful act, but it was considered provocative. Another guy responded to him slashing at him with a knife. The guy who did the stunt and burned the Quran, he’s in police custody. The guy who ran at him with a knife is not. Wait a minute, how did that guy get a knife? I thought you had to deposit them in your free knife box, right? You had to have that. Yeah, you can’t blaspheme. It’s a weird two-tier system of justice in the UK right now. You have no speech. You have no anything over there. It’s considered it’s it’s it’s legally actionable. So you can’t offend anyone who is Islamic. You can’t like if you know, like people who stand on the street corners and preach gospel, you can’t do that because that’s can’t do that there. Can’t do that there. Christians are prosecuted for objecting. But meanwhile, just crazy. The world is changing. I was watching, where was it? There was a protest that erupted. It was in France in the streets after a football, soccer match. And there was a car that drove into a bunch of people. and people just acting insane. And it wasn’t just like hooliganism. It was, I think, people that were using all of that as a way to go out and carry out targeted attacks that would be a lot harder to classify as being Islamic fanaticism driven under the veneer of, oh, well, it’s people out protesting after soccer. That happened in France all this weekend. So I don’t know. But this I don’t what gets me is that. So this guy would be in trouble for the Koran. But if you’re in gosh, we’re in Britain where they had the huge problem for like 10 years with grooming gangs. And there were law enforcement that looked the other way because it would be considered bigoted. Or it would be viewed as racial if they started targeting the individuals that were leading the grooming gangs. And that went on for over a decade. All the way to the top. Lawmakers knew of it and they didn’t do anything. Yet those people… I mean, they were literally trafficking young children, young females. That’s apparently OK. But heaven forbid, blaspheming or saying something that you disagree with someone’s religious ideology. Heaven forbid. Where’s the UK going? We have more in stores. We roll towards the bottom of this hour. We have headlines on the way. And then Stephen Yates will join us as we move.

SPEAKER 14 : 85:23

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.

SPEAKER 17 : 85:30

So first up, the 80s arcade might be back right now for a very short period of time. This is kind of a neat story. So they decided to rebuild this thing. If I can get this stupid thing to open. They decided to rebuild this thing to help students at Edison Academy relax. I mean, that would work for me, honestly. It’s Edison Academy in Alexandria, Virginia. And their kids in the cyber and electrical classes, their teacher said that they can relax before they do their work. So they had this year-long project where they build an arcade where they had a place for students to come and relax. And they’re allowed to visit it with the class for 30 minutes at a time. They have old school Atari games. They’ve got Minecraft servers, Switch consoles. They have everything. That sounds actually really cool. It sounds incredibly cool. So, also, British Airways A380 crew. The crew was arrested, apparently. The whole crew? So, this was from San… It’s a crew. It’s from San Francisco to London, this flight. The… crew escorted to the store. I’m reading the story. Why is everything buried? A cabin member was arrested after colleagues discovered him dancing naked in the business class bathroom. Wait, how is the business class bathroom even big enough to do that in? Those are like tiny little sardines. It occurred on a flight from San Francisco to London. There was an investigation into suspected drug use, etc., etc. They said the steward disappeared from his duties during meal service. It was a full flight, 470 passengers. And they… I would not want that guy serving food, if I’m being honest. Like, if he’s… doing all that stuff and doing drugs, et cetera, et cetera. I don’t know that I’d want him serving food. But anyway, they found him and they ended up having to, they had to turn him in. In Japan, a man was arrested for trying to steal women’s underwear from a laundromat. And then when authorities, I have to restart this, when authorities responded, apparently he had like 450 other stolen items in his house. He sounds kind of like a freak. Gotta say. But he would take them from the… How would you let… You’d take them from the laundromat. That’s so gross. And they found all of this other stuff when they went to go and arrest him. Gross. Let’s see. Millions of honeybees escaped after a semi-truck overturned in Whatcom County. This is sad because honeybees… I keep reading all of these stories about how honeybees are essentially under siege. So… They said that the 250 million bees did not escape. Just 14 million.

SPEAKER 14 : 88:19

Hope they find good homes.

SPEAKER 17 : 88:21

Yeah, closer to 14 million, according to the beekeepers doing the recovery. That’s sad. It’s sad, and I’m worried about them. They said that it accidentally freed millions of them when one of the hives came off the truck a little bit after night, right during rush hour on Friday. That’s great. So great. They said that they can’t really… They had to grab the beehives. The beehives that were being shipped after the incident were collapsing and falling apart. So they had to rebuild them, stack them, put frames in them, everything. So hopefully they’re able to… corral everything. A woman destroys a car over a romantic partner, according to Law and Crime. A Louisiana woman used sugar and chocolate syrup to wreck a vehicle in what they believed to be a feud involving a shared romantic partner. Felony property damages slashed off four tires of the vehicle, broke the side mirrors, shattered the windshield, had syrup everywhere, dumped sugar in the gas tank. That’s bad. And apparently it was all caught on camera as well. And she could face prison time and a $1,000 fine or more because of the value of the car and the damages, all of that stuff with it. So very interesting. Very interesting indeed. And I think I got one more. We got the Walt Disney one. We’ve got, oh, there was a moose attack in Edmonton. A senior survived a moose attack in their own yard. Said that I could be dead, but wasn’t, thankfully. Moose are mean from what I hear, aren’t they? Like they can be very, very aggressive. An Edmonton senior was beaten and bruised after being attacked by a moose. And it was in the Forest Heights neighborhood. We have a lot more in store. Stephen Yates is going to be joining us. Don’t miss. Stick with us. We have a lot more coming up. GoldCo precious metals. Honestly, you need the security that precious metals provide during this. What do you call it? Economic uncertainty.

SPEAKER 17 : 91:22

Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. You can listen coast to coast. Channel 347 is the stream. Rumble X everywhere. Over the weekend, I saw this very interesting headline from The Washington Post. Just kind of blew the mind. I mean, this, you know, these this absolute, absolute bastion of good journalistic enterprise. The headline reads, the mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border. The reasons, they write, behind the decrease of fentanyl seizures in the U.S. and along the Mexico-U.S. border are… complex. It’s just complex. We, the poors, wouldn’t understand the complexity. It’s so complex. You know who might be able to understand the complexities? Our very good friend, Stephen Yates. And you can find him on X at Yates.com. He served in not one, but two presidential administrations. And he is a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He joins us now via video. My friend, This is an issue close to your heart, and it just amazes me that The Washington Post cannot bring themselves to understand really what is the reason behind this precipitous drop in fentanyl seizures along the border. What do you make of this?

SPEAKER 05 : 92:44

Well, Dana, I have to admit, at first when I saw that, I had to make sure it wasn’t fake or a Babylon Bee or something like that because I almost had a seizure myself about that headline about seizures. I mean, it is absolutely painful to see people just willfully swooped up in some kind of fake religion that blinded them to reality for four years. And the horrible, horrible, tragic fact is that our border was open on purpose by the United States government and the Biden administration. That countless gotaways came across that border from several nationalities and several horrible organizations that are now murdering Americans in any number of different ways. But what is undeniable now is in the first hundred plus days of the Trump administration, President Trump proved all you did need was a president. So what that really means, just to put it to brass tacks, is not only did Joe Biden or whoever had the auto pen allow this to happen in terms of the crossing of the border, they allowed the murder of 400,000 Americans. That is, in my book, a crime against humanity.

SPEAKER 17 : 93:55

Very much so. And this the cooperation of China in exploiting this weakness and working with the cartels is this veneer of plausible deniability. I mean, it’s insane that they’re not realizing the severity of that association. And exactly, you know, that’s the only complexity that there is, I think, in this issue.

SPEAKER 05 : 94:17

Yeah, well, there have been a lot of experts that have gone back and forth about does the Chinese government know and how hard is it really to try to tackle things in China? Well, I have some very good friends that I respect in a lot of different ways, but when they say this, I just have to admit I don’t have any intellectual patience. for that kind of talk anymore. I mean, if a government can crack down on the likes of Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, crush churches in China, have slave labor and organ harvesting among their Muslim minority, and the world doesn’t really do that much about it, just color me deeply skeptical that they couldn’t have done something about this. And so no one ever needs to make excuses for them. But really, when it comes down to it, It was still, as much as I hold the Chinese government responsible for the chemicals and messing with the cartels, our government opened the door. We would have had maybe thousands of deaths, but instead we had hundreds of thousands of deaths. That’s on American decision makers.

SPEAKER 17 : 95:20

Speaking of China, apparently they’re accusing the United States of, I think the quote was severely violating the tariffs truce. Do we have I mean, was it an official truce with them? Was it? I don’t know.

SPEAKER 05 : 95:34

well it’s one of those days where we agreed to disagree but we agree we’ll talk again in ninety days and maybe in between so whatever that means it’s sort of verbal swiss cheese uh… what it really meant was we didn’t want to have this fight we didn’t want to talk down markets we wanted to deal with other issues and maybe in that ninety days we’d we’d bag a deal or two among allies that wouldn’t would increase our hand uh… all of which i can kind of except as a logic but i think secretary besant has said it pretty clearly What happened in Geneva didn’t move the needle that much. Things have stalled somewhat. There’s a lot going on. And the Chinese haven’t exactly moved. They’re still talking tough. And I don’t know that we have any measurable movement on this. But you and I have talked about this for years. And after this was announced, I never expected that this was going to change the fundamental direction of things. I support the team in trying. Because everything else has failed. So how can I criticize them for trying this? But give it 90 days, see where we are. Maybe you change it a little bit, give it another 90 days, but then accept the fact they’re engaging in an economic war against us and we have to behave accordingly.

SPEAKER 17 : 96:41

Yeah, I wanted to get your thoughts, too, on the big thing that was going around last week over the revocation of student visas. Because a lot of the times I don’t think what people realize is, you know, if you’re coming over and correct me if I’m wrong on this. But if you’re coming over from China and you’re a student and you’re going to an American university, by and large, if you’re being allowed to come over to the United States from China, in most instances, you’re a person who’s considered to be in good standing with the CCP. And so it’s immediately questionable. Is that accurate? Is that an accurate assessment?

SPEAKER 05 : 97:14

Well, I think at a level of principle, you have to assume that the Chinese government is going to vet who they’re sending over more than we are going to vet who they’re sending over. And I don’t expect either side to be perfect. And so there probably are some people that get in that mix that are not best pals of the CCP, but they haven’t tripped any wires to get them flagged in their system either. And fundamentally, where I come down on this is sort of like the deportations. If you’ve come in illegally, then you have no right to be here. If you overstay a visa, you have no right to be here. And if you came on a student visa but engaged in behavior that’s against the code of conduct of that university or against the law in the United States, then you don’t deserve to be here. But the government has a capacity issue, and they probably need to address highest priorities first. So all the scare tactics of McCarthyism 2.0 I don’t buy because there’s no way the U.S. government is going to have the capacity to wrap up 300,000 Chinese students all at once. But the ones that are in the most sensitive programs, the ones that are tied to people we can verify, let’s get that ball rolling because they don’t have a right to be here.

SPEAKER 17 : 98:30

I think it’s a good point. And I also think, too, I mean, especially when you’re talking about a geopolitical foe that would exploit any opening possible in order to gain some kind of advantage over its adversary. I mean, I think it would be irresponsible for government officials to not consider that as a possibility when looking at the issuance of visas, etc.

SPEAKER 05 : 98:49

right that idea i think we’ve laid down principle communicate clearly our government even so my best pals in government don’t always speak clearly and for heaven’s sake i may not speak clearly all the time but begin with the core principles that this is about people with ties to the communist party of china something we should know and be able to prove not just assume this should be targeting not indiscriminately in a broad way but people who are in areas that give them advantage or leverage that shouldn’t be done in a time of crisis or in advance of what could be a time of crisis. And in a circumstance where we have, I think, a new Cold War just undeclared by some, then the people who come from that country is not going after an ethnicity. There are millions and millions of ethnically Chinese people that are not citizens of the People’s Republic of China. This is talking about people of a particular citizenship, particular ties. And so let’s make sure that we’ve got that buttoned up and straight. But with that, Come on, let’s get on with it. They’re going after us, and they don’t deserve to have their people in the best slots in schools, which, by the way, ought to go to Americans first anyway.

SPEAKER 17 : 99:54

Exactly. That doesn’t make any sense as to why it doesn’t. We’re talking with our good friend Stephen Yates. Last thing for you, and you just mentioned it, the new Cold War, and I know that this is a piece that’s over at Heritage as well. I mean, essentially, that’s how it’s described, and I think you’ve even said that before, you know, several years ago that essentially this, if you want to call it that, relationship or association that we have with China is a Cold War at this point because of the posturing of China, the aggressiveness of China, etc. Are we in a better spot now than we were four months ago with regards to this? Or has that mostly remained unchanged thus far?

SPEAKER 05 : 100:35

I think we’re in a better spot. I wouldn’t say that we’re in a good and healthy spot just yet, but the trajectory is in the right direction in my point of view. First and foremost, because stage one of getting serious about this is getting out of our own way at home. trying to make sure that we have revival renewal at home, secure supply chains, lessening dependencies, all that stuff. The giant golden reset on trade, the new heyday of investing in AI infrastructure in the United States, energy independence, food security independence, all the goods. That’s what you need to do first before you have better, less risky options for containing a geostrategic foe and containing their malign influences, I should say. And so, I mean, there’s professors, people who write in August journals that will quibble about what to call this. But what I would say is when you have a government that is directly responsible for murdering more than a million of your citizens by COVID and fentanyl when you have millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of shaved off your economy by unfair trade practices and you have the world’s most rapid military modernization funded by your own stupidity giving them money and technology what are you in if not a cold war just short of being in a military conflict

SPEAKER 17 : 101:55

SPEAKER 17 : 103:35

You guys have to hear this Texas lawmaker. His name is John Bryant, and he is a Democrat from Lake Jackson, Texas. He is talking about banning a very particular type of firearm, and y’all need to hear him out. Listen to this.

SPEAKER 22 : 103:51

This bill legalizes sawed-off shark guns. What? This bill legalizes sawed-off shark guns.

SPEAKER 17 : 104:02

Sawed-off shark guns. I mean, not to be confused with the regular non-sawed-off shark gun. You know, silent but deadly shark guns. Now, he didn’t say anything about the incendiary pudding rounds. That was… Not included in this. So I don’t know how he feels about that.

SPEAKER 14 : 104:23

Brownie batter ballistics.

SPEAKER 17 : 104:25

Yeah, I’m saying, you know. I have never heard of that. And the shotgun. Not quite sure where one can get it.

SPEAKER 14 : 104:34

Didn’t Biden say you just fire off the shotgun a couple times?

SPEAKER 17 : 104:38

I think he did fire off the shotgun. I think that’s why he fell up the stairs. He had an unintentional. Yes, of the shark gun. Just saying. I mean, that goes beyond even like a Texas accent. That guy. We don’t need these sort of shark guns. these guys. I can’t deal. By the way, I wanted to follow up. Have we heard back from Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick? Per chance?

SPEAKER 14 : 105:13

We’ve been trying to get a hold of him to talk about the…

SPEAKER 17 : 105:21

No, THC and why we don’t even have, why we don’t have property tax relief, but we have all this like big government stuff coming through the Texas house. That’s so crazy. I hope he’s okay. And he didn’t just like disappear, you know, from just us.

SPEAKER 14 : 105:34

But one hour ago I followed up and still haven’t heard anything.

SPEAKER 17 : 105:38

So how many times does that make it now?

SPEAKER 14 : 105:39

So one, two, three, today was the fourth.

SPEAKER 17 : 105:42

Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. And I’m just, you know, curious because I just, you know, We need to talk to him about these issues.

SPEAKER 14 : 105:51

I don’t think he really wants to talk about it.

SPEAKER 17 : 105:54

I am so fun to talk to. I mean, I am nothing but joy and light.

SPEAKER 14 : 105:58

That’s true.

SPEAKER 17 : 106:00

Look at it. Joyful and lightness. Yeah. So we’ll keep you updated about all that. Now, because it’s I guess that’s something that a lot of people are. It’s that Senate bill that they’re banning THC. It just has nothing to do with smoking pot or anything like that. But nobody want none of these lawmakers want to talk about it now. And a lot of people are saying that Abbott should veto it. In fact, tons of letters apparently were sent to his office in Austin. So we’ll see how it goes. But I don’t know. I just they’re they’re ending their session and they’ve not done anything on property tax relief. just like they didn’t do anything on property tax relief last session or the session really before that. Let’s be honest about it. So I don’t know. I mean, it’s just going to be a little bit harder for me to… Actually, it’s going to be a heck of a lot easier for me to unsubscribe from all their emails that they constantly pepper us with. So just saying, you know, I mean… You’ve got an obligation to talk to voters. It’s not that difficult. He’s come on the show before when we’ve disagreed on gun stuff. And so I’m a little surprised that he wouldn’t. However, though.

SPEAKER 14 : 107:05

He was pretty skittish then, too.

SPEAKER 17 : 107:07

Yeah. But, you know, I’m a gracious hostess. I just want to hear him narrate the science of the gummy stuff. Because that is fascinating. Science. Yeah, it’d be like, it’s like when Al Sharpton put on a lab coat and did a whole science segment on his show on MSNBC. It’s like the same level of expertise, you know. Just saying, just, you know, going to put that out there. All right. And then we also, we got some great guest book for you that are coming up later this week. If you sign up over at Substack Chapter and Verse, you’ll get a heads up on all of those. So we have a lot of really good content planned for y’all. In the meantime, as we roll closer, Today in Stupidity.

SPEAKER 14 : 107:48

All right. This happened in the Texas House. And, Juan, this is cut six. Now, one of the Democrats in the Texas House was, for whatever reason, bringing up whether or not they knew about what her dad used to do. Like, were you aware of my dad? Listen to this exchange. And then Representative Jeff Leach right afterward. It’s so perfect. Listen to this.

SPEAKER 11 : 108:08

Gentlemen, you have four questions.

SPEAKER 08 : 108:10

Yes, I will. Gentlemen, you have four questions. All right.

SPEAKER 02 : 108:13

representative leach are you aware that my grandfather was an assistant attorney general for the state of texas no congratulations are you aware that he represented texas in front of the united states supreme court nine times no are you aware that my dad worked for oscar meyer for 25 years and drove the oscar meyer wienermobile

SPEAKER 14 : 108:40

There it is. So, yeah, Democrats in the House, I guess they believe that family that’s done something in the past.

SPEAKER 17 : 108:46

It’s almost like she did it.

SPEAKER 14 : 108:48

Yeah, exactly. Somehow carry over to her.

SPEAKER 17 : 108:50

Yeah. I mean, my dad did this, so it’s like I did it. It’s not how that works at all. By the way, the Wienermobile, that’s not an easy thing to drive, I think.

SPEAKER 14 : 108:59

No.

SPEAKER 17 : 109:00

Like, how would you even park that? That’s like, you’re going to be like forklift certified to drive something like that. Folks, that does it for us today.
