SPEAKER 19 :
I don’t know if they are they I guess they’re making a move to try to unseal the grand jury. Stuff for the, I don’t know. I don’t know until we know it. But apparently there are also a House Committee subpoena, Jelaine Maxwell, via Daily Caller. They unanimously approved a subpoena this morning. And we’ll see. I mean, right now, all we have is a subpoena. We don’t have any response to that. But we’ll see. Maybe there’s a move to get some transparency. Maybe it’s going to be different than all of the other times people say that they have stuff and then they actually don’t have anything. Maybe it’ll be different. We’ll see. But so that’s some of the latest. And then, of course, also this they’re getting all Hollywood in on this now. This wasn’t I don’t think that this was supposed to be as big of a thing as it was. But I feel like the left is really glomming onto it. Stephen Colbert definitely is glomming onto it. And he wants to make it. He would rather it’s easier for Stephen Colbert’s ego image and ability to make money in the future for him. It to look like he was canceled by the president of the United States rather than his show was hemorrhaging millions of dollars a month. He couldn’t sell. He was dropping in ratings and he was insubordinate. It makes it look so much easier if he was just canceled by the president. And so that’s the narrative that they’re all. I’m just we all know why his show has been canceled. We all know why CBS no longer wants to air his broadcast show. He doesn’t do very well. And he ended up just turning out to be super bitter and not funny. And nobody wants to watch that. And so apparently last night they all got together and decided to have, you know, a three minutes hate or however long their show is. How long is his show? I’ve never watched. I can proudly say I’ve never watched Stephen Colbert. I never got a government experimental injection and I’ve never watched Stephen Colbert. How do you know how long is this show? How long are those shows? Two. Like a half hour. Steve, you watch late night. Do you know how long they are? I’m not going to look it up. I’m too lazy. Oh my gosh. That shows an hour. That’s an hour long. He does it for an hour. He’s hateful and just a living turd for an hour. Jiminy Christmas.
SPEAKER 14 :
Five minutes of commercials. I think.
SPEAKER 19 :
There’s no way they’re selling commercials. But apparently they had a number of people that showed up there, including Lin Manuel Miranda. Then they had Jon Stewart. And I guess he did all this stuff that he I don’t know. He was just trying to be very, very funny. And of course, he called himself a martyr. Of course he did. I mean, grand, grand ideas of who one is, correct? He called himself a martyr. And that was in his monologue. I don’t know if we have that. But somebody said that they’re coming after Jimmy Kimmel next. And he said, no, I’m the martyr here. I’m the only one. But he really does view himself as being this martyr. And like I said, it’s easier for him, it’s easier for his ego… For his image and for his ability to make money in the future to have the narrative be he was canceled by Trump as opposed to he was canceled because his show wasn’t making money anymore and nobody wanted to watch him. Nobody wanted to watch him. I mean, they had like how many people do they have on his program last night? It’s probably the most they probably had more guests than people that were watching. But they had everybody from Jamie Lee Curtis and all of this. He audio soundbite 10, if we can say it. And hopefully YouTube won’t get mad at us because it’s CBS and they try to file. So YouTube tries to file copyright claims on us. They’re trying they’re trying to get our show. They’ve been trying this for years, pulled off of YouTube. So they’ve demonetized us. I mean, we’re on YouTube purely performatively. We don’t make any money off YouTube. They’ve killed us on YouTube. They demonetize us. They kill. I mean, they just they suppress us. The only reason we even upload to that hellscape of a whatever you want to call it, total pandemonium. The only reason that we upload anything is for people out there. That’s it. I mean, it’s like it’s like charity work at this point. YouTube is nothing. It’s meaningless. It’s stupid. It is a progressive run. hellhole and um so anyway my point being is that because i get comments all the time from you all who are like why didn’t you why did you just play the audio of this or why didn’t you play this clip because what they do is they file a copyright notice even though it’s complete fair use and then our video gets deleted and then they say if we give you one more warning we’re going to delete your entire account they say stuff like that to us so this is the stuff that we have to put up with back channel So I don’t care if they’re all weeping and gnashing of their teeth. Go die in an AIDS fire. I don’t care. You rat, bastard, whiny, censor progressives. You people are the Stasi. You people are the ones that wanted to shut everything down. You people are the ones that launched efforts to get shows like mine pulled off of every damn digital platform. You guys screwed over all my social media accounts. You made it to where I didn’t. gain or lose a single follower on x for like months on end even grok admits that there’s something super sketchy happening beyond any kind of any anything it knows of on that platform so your guy wasn’t performing ratings wise and so he gets canceled and you guys are all apoplectic You guys are showing more. The left is showing more rage over this than they showed over the people whose jobs they cost by demanding we all lock down. They’re showing more rage over this than all the people whose social media accounts got pulled off because of Hunter Biden’s laptop. I’ll be damned if I have to watch a bunch of old wrinkly ass boomers weep and gnash teeth because of a bitter, unfunny, washed up, never was comedian. Go pound sand and go do something so unflattering to yourself, I can’t even talk about it on the airwaves. Now let’s move. Partners brought to you by people like Alio Capital. This is such a great app. If you do not have this app, you need to get this app. This is what AI was made for. It’s a next generation investing platform. They put control and macro strategy first. in your hands. It’s Alio Capital. You can get it on the App Store or Google Play. I have it. I use it. It is all about allowing Altitude AI to adapt your portfolio in real time. Now, I know in some aspects of our lives, we don’t need AI. I really do think that this is the area that AI was really built for. And case in point, I mean, I had a conversation with the owner of the company. And this is a guy that’s like super successful. He’s got this background and investment. I mean, he’s made a lot of money at it. But he was saying, yeah, there’s things that the Alio app is able to spot in terms of trends that I would have missed and I would not have been able to capitalize on, but that this app spotted way before I did. And that’s what it’s all about. It’s macro investing for people who want to understand the big picture. It’s not a robo-advisor. It supports both hands-on and hands-off investors. And it uses discipline, not hype. So there’s not meme stocks. It’s just durable, diversified strategies. You have a macro dashboard to show how your portfolio is positioned in the real economy. You have a net worth tracker that tracks everything, total view of your finances, your assets, debts, trends, spending, the whole nine yards. But it’s for people who get it and want to get the big picture. You can manage your own investments or let AI handle it. Either way, Allio gives you the tools for smart, confident, macro-driven investing.

Investing involves risks. Include possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee results. See terms and conditions. Tax fees may apply. Is college even worth it anymore? Young male college grads are jobless at the same rate as non-grads. If the conventional wisdom is that it’s easier to get a job, they lied to you there. Be smart with your choices.

SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 19 :
Malcolm Jamal Warner, 54 years old, drowned. Accidental drowning. That came out across yesterday as we were finishing up the program in Costa Rica. A second individual was also rushed to a local clinic in critical condition. Their condition is unknown, but apparently cause of death was listed as asphyxia. He was caught in a high current in the ocean, according to ABC, and they found his body Sunday. That’s just awful. He was vacationing with his daughter. Oh, my gosh. Theo Huxtable. No, man. So Musk’s Tesla is opening a one of a kind high tech diner where customers can order their food from car touchscreens and they’ll be served from robots. So if you’re somebody like me who goes through phases where I literally don’t want to be around any other living souls. This sounds like heaven. Just let me sit with my robot overlords and crochet and do activities that I want to do that make me happy and leave me alone. But honestly, they’re going to kill you. What they’re going to do is they’re going to serve your plate of food and then they’re going to punch their fist through your chest. That’s what’s going to, I’m just assuming they could. I just also don’t like disproportionate looking robots. Like if you’re going to make a robot, don’t make it like miniature. I don’t like, you know, we have mini pigs and mini doodles and all this other stuff. I don’t want a mini human in the form of a robot. It’s weird. It’s unnerving. I don’t like it. Apparently, scientists declare humans will burn in cosmic hell. It’s going to end with a big crunch. Well, it started that way. So, yay. Beef prices, they say, are the new egg prices. They’re soaring. Eat more cows. Ranch more cows. Whatever. And they won’t. We’ve got a lot more on the way, including, oh gosh. More than I can share in the seconds I have. Just stay with us or I’ll find you. It is our friends over at Super Beats, their product, Super Breen. You can get it at, I mean, you can like, it’s from the same people who do the Super Beats hard shoes. And now they have the Super Breen. And you can walk into a Sam’s Club and get it. and it’s less than a dollar a day. You can invest in metabolism and blood sugar support. And that’s what Superberine does. It’s not just any berberine that they use either. I mean, this is a, it’s like a bougie berberine, if I’m being honest, but there’s a reason. It’s clinically studied. It delivers nearly 10 times higher absorption than standard berberine. And they accomplish this in a number of different ways. They make it to where it’s a higher absorption and It’s concentrated, so you’re getting all of the goodness in just one easy-to-swallow capsule. And if you’re worried about GI distress, Super Bering includes grapeseed extract that improves, adds for greater tolerability as well. You can find both the new Super Bering for your metabolism and blood sugar and the number one best-selling Super Beats Heart Chews all at Sam’s Club. Restock your heart health support with the Super Beats Heart Chews and expand your routine with Super Bering for healthy metabolism and blood sugar support.

SPEAKER 13 :
President Trump tells his supporters to move on from the Epstein story, but they’re not moving on. Not only did an auto pen sign most of Joe Biden’s pardons, but Biden didn’t even choose most of the people who got pardons. But he was totally in control. And after getting crushed in his primary, Andrew Cuomo just keeps running anyway.

SPEAKER 06 :
And you would have the speaker emeritus that would say, well, you know, I’m going to leave it up to, but I don’t know. And they had already made a decision. They had clearly made a decision. And when I say they, I mean the speaker. And, you know, I heard Alexander Pelosi say something, call my mom, like, put your big girl pants on to my mom or something. And I kind of feel like saying, who the do you think you are? I would never speak about your mom that way. Yeah, I would never speak about your father that way. I would never insult your parents that way. Even to this day, I would never.
SPEAKER 19 :
So I got to say, he’s the only person who can cuss. And I believe that they actually cuss. Like these other people, I think they’re nasty, but I think that they’re just not comfortable. Like Hunter Biden, you’ve all seen his naked backside, right? There’s videos where he’s banging Russian hookers like all over the Internet. He’s in a bathtub sleeping with a crack pipe perched on his dry, parched lips. So, you know. I feel like he just doesn’t really care about how he comes across anymore. I mean, is there really like what kind of image rehabilitation? What what what can you get out of that after you see someone’s 50 something year old pocked backside, you know, pausing with their finger on the trigger of a gun while they’ve got crack on a scale behind them, you know, or cocaine? How did the drugs work? I don’t know. It’s all powder, right? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 12 :
You make a good point.
SPEAKER 19 :
But when he cusses, I want to be like, okay, Gavin Newsom, that’s what it sounds like when you’re actually debased and you just cuss every other word. That’s what it sounds like. That guy right there. He just doesn’t care. He doesn’t even care enough to shave fully. He just doesn’t care. He’s there. He looks like somebody just basically got up. Come on. He doesn’t care. Whose show was he? I don’t care. He was on somebody’s stupid podcast. But that was Hunter Biden talking about how Nancy Pelosi was the one who ran his father out. Now, just wait till Joe has his book Ghost written for him. Just wait. This is just a sign of things to come. Because you know Hunter Biden is not going out there saying anything that Joe has not okayed him to say. Because right now, nobody’s buying his spit art. Nobody, I know, I’m also amazed by the fickleness of the art community that nobody wanted to purchase Hunter Biden’s saliva paintings anymore after Joe, his dad, was no longer president of the United States. It’s really amazing, Cain, how that worked, how that supply and demand worked, that arrangement. I, for one, could not have seen that coming. It’s truly shocking. But nobody’s buying his spit art. So what’s he to do? He’s got to find somebody. He’s got to cling on to his dad. That’s the only way he’s going to get any money left now. And Biden’s going to have one hell of a ghostwritten book. But he better hurry up and write it because the man ain’t getting any older. Damn. I mean, he’s like. He’s getting older. Huh? He’s getting older. I mean, he’s not getting any younger. That’s what I mean. Yes. Good heavens. Good heavens. So I. But that’s what it sounds like when somebody is really, you know. Every other word. There’s a lot of dirty laundry that’s yet to come out. I think of all of this because they still have not cemented over on the left. They still have not have not come around a particular leader. They have no idea who their leader is going to be. They don’t know. They don’t know. They’re just Gavin Newsom wants it badly. That’s all we do know. He wants it very badly. But I don’t know. Is he going to be able to get it? Who knows? It’s not going to be an Obama acolyte because I think that they’re even starting to lose power. And also, I think when you have Michelle Obama out there doing a podcast, I don’t know how often her podcast uploads because I don’t care. I mean, there’s a million things I’d rather fill my head with. I’d rather go and literally count cracked acorns in my backyard than just simply Google how often her podcast posts. I don’t care. But I do think that there is something when you share that much information, the mystery dies. You know what I mean? And then there’s no allure anymore. All your laundry’s out there in the open, like Hunter Biden’s naked pockmark backside, right? It’s just all out there in the open. So I don’t know. You can’t get that image out of your head, Cain, can you? That’s why the guy doesn’t care. He’s like, you all see my ass. I don’t care. He just gets out there and is like, blank this, blank that, and runs his mouth and tells everyone else to go do unflattering things to themselves. I mean, he’s, you know, he just doesn’t. So imagine what a barn burner the ghostwritten book is going to be. I think I kind of probably know what the title is going to be. Blank you. Oh. Story of Jack Whacken Biden. Hunter Biden has all of the meanness that Joe has still, but is just too addled to recover because that’s really how Joe Biden was. Joe Biden was a jerk. I’m talking about it in the past sense because he doesn’t even know where he is anymore. But still, it’s not an excuse. Not an excuse. How dare you make fun of his stutter? Shut up. We have a lot more audio of him. Audio soundbite three. I need this. Just just we’re going to just explode this one. Just blow this one up. This is about the Hunter Biden laptop, guys. And, you know, it’s not a big deal because like all of you people have them. What? Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
anybody that is keeping an open mind is what is it that you think the laptop proves or what you call the laptop? So everybody has a laptop. So when they say Hunter Biden’s laptop, what is it that they’re talking about?
SPEAKER 04 :
Do you know? Well, I know that you, uh, your entire iCloud was connected to it. All of your personal text messages, private photos, all that kind of stuff. Like everybody’s laptop.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
And you left it with a repair shop owner, particularly, I think the New York post, uh, was involved in the spearheading of this mass dissemination of your private materials. From what it seemed like, it was a lot of private texts between you and your friends, family, your entire sort of private life was on there.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. And again, so everybody has a laptop. Everybody has a cloud. I’m assuming not. No, no, no, no. Not everybody has a laptop. Everybody has a digital life. Almost everybody has a digital life. Everybody has a digital life, pretty much. And that includes voicemails and pictures and test messages and emails and location data. Sounds like Joe Duddy. You know, everything. Everybody. You do, you do. Everybody that is here right now. By whatever means, they got my digital footprint going back decades.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah, they did. They got your digital footprint all right. They got it a lot. Everybody’s got a laptop. Yeah, not everybody has literal home movies with hired foreign hookers while they’re also snorting nose candy. Not everybody’s got that. What kind of deflection is that? I mean, yeah, I had these things, but everybody has a digital life. You know what my digital life comprises? You know what my digital life consists of? My digital life consists of the stuff that I stream on TV, which is usually documentaries or horror films. sometimes a western but i’ve seen almost all of them uh it includes me playing certain video games because i like to play casually so i’ll play certain things and then when hell drivers comes out for xbox on the 26th of august i’m literally considering taking the day off work uh i mean that you know me doing stuff like that me googling crochet patterns um what else so what you’re saying is it’s not about smoking crack your online persona yeah no there’s no crack or hookers or arguing with people on speakerphone or whatever yeah i don’t have any i’m not arguing with my drug dealers you know i don’t i would have to get a drug dealer first i’m not arguing with and you know drug dealers so Yes, everybody has a digital life. No, not everybody lies on a 4473, bangs their sister-in-law, gets her addicted to drugs, and then has your illegally obtained firearm thrown in a trash can across the street from the school. No, not everyone gets appointed to, what is it? I swear to you, it was like $80,000 a month job. to helm energy at Burisma when the most you know about energy is how many backup packs you’re going to need in order to make your home movies with your four higher Russian hookers. So that really doesn’t make any sense. Not everybody has that kind of a digital life. And also, he doesn’t just have a digital life. He is a digital creator. He had his own account on some Hobag site where he made all of these nasty videos and uploaded them for other people to view on these skanky sites. Ew! Oh my gosh!
SPEAKER 14 :
What? Everybody has a digital life.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s just, no, not everybody. And who’s the guy who looks like Fletch? He looks like he’s cosplaying as Chevy Chase sitting there like, yeah, I was like, he’s so afraid that he’s going to lose the interview. He doesn’t want to ask a tough question. He’s so terrified. He’s like, yeah, I mean, it was just like, you know, like all of your personal communications and stuff is all that, you know, it’s all that stuff. I mean, totally understand. And then he doesn’t even push back when Hunter Biden’s like, everybody has a digital life. My first thing was, no, not everyone sits here and bangs Russian hookers while they’re snorting blow and arguing with their drug dealer and an uploaded movie to their online porn site. No, not everybody does that, Hunt. Not everybody does that. Not everybody sends their family member to go eye up heiresses in Palm Beach and see who they’re going to be able to get as a side piece. And they just openly discuss it even after your laptop went missing. No, not everybody does that. Sorry. Not everyone gets an $80,000 a month job on a company that your dad arranged for you on something they know nothing about. That’s like hiring me to work on the NFL. Well, Dana, what do you think about this? Well, I don’t know, but maybe we can have the ball in different colors. I don’t know. Like maybe we could change out the stitching mirror. No, you know, like that. Nobody or I could be like, I don’t know. Maybe we’ve got to change the chief’s uniforms because they look like ketchup packets. I don’t know. Like maybe let’s they’re going to come up now, but that’s OK as an example. So no. And that guy just doesn’t push back. This is why, you know, sometimes, yes, there’s so many podcasts. It’s oversaturated. But the there’s no pushback. You’re just letting him ramble. Okay, what do you mean everybody has a digital life? What do you mean Nancy Pelosi forced your dad out? Did you guys not know that he was completely brain addled? What was in it for you guys that you guys didn’t want to support him making healthier decisions to maybe not take a job that gave him so much stress? Where were you guys in all of that? Not a single one of these idiots have asked him that. All these people are so eager to gobble up clicks to have Hunter Biden on. They all ask him the same stuff. Not a single person has pushed back. No, but they’ll dress up like Fletch. Not a single person has pushed back. Not a single person has said, OK, but you guys knew that he was struggling. Doesn’t that have more to do with this than what Nancy Pelosi thought? Like, why didn’t you help him make healthier decisions or when did you know that something was off? When did you know that he had no idea where he was? When did you come on? But they’re too afraid that they’re not going to be able to finish. They won’t have an interview or they won’t get a soundbite. So they don’t ask. They just cower. Every single one of these interviews I’ve seen, these people just cower. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, it was like he’s like terrified to bring it up to him. Grow some balls. Ask some questions. Good grief. It’s just disturbing. Our forefathers who ran the penny presses and literally called each other hermaphrodites in editorials and printed printed publications would be so ashamed of you. We’ve got more of that, believe it or not. I know. We’re also going to get into all of the celebrities that are coming out because nobody understands what censorship is. Jamie Lee Curtis, all these other folks. And I’m going to show you the cringiest thing you’re going to see probably for the week. I had to watch it. You do, too. You can’t get away from it. Just when you think I’ve talked about it already, I’m going to show you the video. But anyway, we’re going to dive into all of that. We also have some other stuff to touch upon. Latest immigration. We’re going to get into this. Well, we got trans policy. We got a lot. So as we move, because we’ve got days of these United States still moving.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 07 :
in places. I made a decision after the last election when I saw that 68% of the voters identified as Christian in one way or another that I needed to do Christian podcasts. And I’ve been doing about one to two a month. I was raised as a Christian. I went to a Christian college on a soccer scholarship. But I would not talk about my faith because I thought it didn’t really belong in politics. But what I’ve seen is that Republicans are weaponizing faith. And it’s actually to our own disadvantage to not talk about it. And so we have to do things that are uncomfortable. And that’s what I think is so inspiring about that interview.
SPEAKER 19 :
Is that why he supports abortion on demand up until the moment of birth? Because that’s their party’s official platform. Well, just about. I mean, they believe in abortion on demand funded by the taxpayer. So tell me how Christian that is. I love people who are like, well, I’m a Christian, but also I love all these things. What? What do you mean weaponizing faith? Pointing out that you don’t live it? I mean, that’s just, that’s not weaponizing. That’s just simple discernment. And there’s a major difference, by the way, between judgment, hypocritical judgment, and then discernment. That’s simply Christian discernment. Just highlighting the fact that you’re claiming, I mean, even the devil can quote scripture to cite Shakespeare. kind of sounds like what’s happening here he’s trying so hard look at them they’re trying so hard to act like they’re somehow the middle and they some of them have an idea that that’s what it’s going to take in order to have relevancy not just i think going into midterms but beyond midterms also and that they can’t by staying on the fringes of the far left That’s such a very there’s not a lot of there’s I mean, yeah, it seems like there’s a lot of people there only because they’re so loud. Only because they’re so loud. And then you have a bunch of that’s why you have a bunch of different signs and messages and slogans at every single one of these protests, because not everyone’s there for the same reason. They just kind of have to take what they can get. But that’s the downside of Democrats allowing those people to be their street team for so long. And that’s really what you know, that’s kind of what the problem was. So I don’t know. I people who say things like that, but then believe in obliterating the American family and support policies to that effect and believe in things like abortion on demand. And they believe that somehow you can force will in people, which not even God does that. I don’t know. It just seems, you know, and then, of course, we’re not even going to get into the bearing false witness and all the other stuff that he engages in. Nobody believes us. He’s just he’s just a spiteful person. The funny thing is, is all those people on that panel were just smiling, nodding. Yeah, that’s right. We’re also Christians. Really? I mean, you say you are, but your policies don’t reflect it. Your concern for others don’t reflect it. The only time you ever show concern is when you think that it can actually be advantageous to your position or to your cause. So coming up, this, I don’t know, idea that somehow, well, do you hear the thing where Paramount, I think it’s one and a half billion dollars to buy a I can’t remember how much content of South Park. And so they’re good for the next like a five year deal. They’re going to be airing South Park on Paramount. Paramount, which fired Stephen Colbert. They own CBS because Stephen Colbert wasn’t making money. That’s hysterical. We’ll talk a little bit about that. We’ve got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. And of course, the folks who make the show possible, our sponsor over at Relief Factor.

SPEAKER 24 :
considering that these will be built in areas that hosts strategic ports as well as military air bases.
SPEAKER 02 :
You took an ammunition?
SPEAKER 24 :
Yes, the US House Congressional Committee on Appropriations approved the budget.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, it’s very important. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have approved it. Yeah, it’s very important. Otherwise, we need ammunition. We’re going to end up in a few months, we’ll have more ammunition than any country has ever had. We’re going to have more missiles than any country has ever had. We’re going to have all the speedy missiles. We’ll have the speedy ones, the slow ones, the accurate ones, the ones that are slightly less accurate. We have everything. But we will have more ammunition than any country has ever had. It’s very important to me.
SPEAKER 19 :
I just think it’s funny. We’re going to have the speedy ones, the slow ones, the ones that are super accurate, the ones that are not so accurate. I don’t even know what purpose it serves, but I love it. It’s just funny. Welcome back to the program. That was from a little earlier. President in the Oval Office, he was meeting with the President of Philippines. And I think, well, he’s having ongoing meetings there with folks in D.C. And of course, also on deck, one of the things that we have is this weird, this fight going on over the… Well, I guess just the Epstein stuff. Is Jelaine Maxwell, is she going to be forced to testify? Because then… The way the media is asking questions like, does that mean that there’s like a chasm between the admin and they’re saying it was an ambush. Like, I don’t know if it was an ambush. But, I mean, she already had her trial. And she did already testify. What else is new that, I mean, I’m all for it. But I’m just like, what else new do they think that they’re going to get out of that? What new things do they think they’re going to get out of this? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 14 :
I did see, though, that Johnson had shut down voting just so that this wouldn’t be. I don’t know if it had to do with the document release or whatever the case may be. But the voting was blocked by Speaker Johnson on the Epstein stuff. So I don’t know exactly what the motivation is for that because they have all of August to take time off. Why are they starting now?
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, that’s probably why, because they have all of August to take time off. That’s why. So apparently they have a House committee that subpoenaed her, and I think they’re reading some of this that their DOJ is going to be meeting with her, I guess, privately. So I don’t know what else they think that they’re going to get out of it. I mean, I’m all for it. I want everything released and out there, and I explained yesterday that I’m sure that there are a lot of people implicated in all kinds of maybe shady dealings. I mean, we are talking about our own members of Congress who themselves had a slush fund. Millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars we have paid out to settle sexual harassment cases for members of Congress. And we don’t even have the courtesy of being told for whom. We were settling these things for we just it’s our tax dollars that are that we’re doing it. So interesting indeed. So this is one of the one of the things we’re watching. And of course, also the ongoing push with the late night stuff, late nights dead. Now Hollywood’s demanding an investigation because they said that they have bribery concerns. This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Writers Guild of America, they’re saying that, oh my gosh, there needs to be an investigation. WGA, Writers Guild of America, wrote in a statement, quote, the Writers Guild of America has significant concerns that the late show’s cancellation is a bribe, sacrificing free speech to curry favor with the Trump administration. Wasn’t he bragging about losing $50 million for the network already? It’s all of this stuff is all of this stuff is public. You can see how many people tune into a show. You can see that he’s at the bottom of the heap for ratings. You can see that. I mean, they don’t have a lot. They can’t move a lot of inventory. Not a lot of people want to buy ad time in his day part. He is like at the bottom of the barrel. He’s just not selling. He’s just not appealing. That didn’t even have anything to do with Trump. I mean, seriously, they’re going to try to say that the 60 Minutes lawsuit and them having to settle with Trump that he was like, yeah, you know what? Give me a Colbert. No, I would think that if Trump had the option to silence somebody over at CBS, I don’t think that he would care about Stephen Colbert. Colbert doesn’t move the needle. The only time that we’re talking about him right now is just because it’s so ridiculously stupid. It’s an avatar for the left’s overreaction. He doesn’t move the needle. He doesn’t do anything. He doesn’t do anything of note. He does a very unfunny show. That’s pretty much it. Trump was on with him once in 2015, but then that was it. I think when Colbert first started out before he got… I don’t know if he got jaded or if that’s just how he always was. He was funnier when he was on Daily Show years ago. But this idea that it was done, like there was a bribe or that it was done because at his request, that’s a stupid accusation. But they’re demanding an investigation into it. I mean, these people are ignoring the settlement. That was because of the 60 Minutes thing. Remember, that was… And then Colbert was the one who said on his show on July 15th that the settlement was designed to sway the administration in this merger. It was a proposed $8 billion merger between Paramount Global and then Skydance, which is under investigation in California. So I don’t know. Now the WGA wants Letitia James to get involved and they want her to investigate. So and they’ve called I think what they’ve been joined by what Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders. They say, oh, the public deserves to know, Kane, like what? Like, what does the public deserve to know? This is so stupid. What does the public deserve to know? Audio is done by 12. Adam Schiff thinks he has the answer. Listen, so stupid.
SPEAKER 18 :
So what is behind the cancellation of the most popular show on late nights? Stephen Colbert would routinely get two and a half million viewers for each show. That is the number one ranked show in that slot. why would CBS cancel that show? Now, CBS issued a statement claiming that the cancellation of this show was for purely financial reasons and not having anything to do with other matters. Now, what are those other matters that contributed to this decision or may have contributed to this decision? Well, for context, CBS is owned by Paramount, and Paramount is merging with Skydance. in a transaction that has to be approved by the Trump administration. And while this merger has been pending, CBS decided to settle a frivolous lawsuit with Donald Trump. A lawsuit that Donald Trump brought for millions of dollars where he sued CBS because he didn’t like the way CBS had edited an interview last year with Kamala Harris.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, because it was an in-kind contribution. And so let me just like set some things up here for some of these drive-by idiots. So before I even was allowed on air, I had to do, you have to do, because it’s public airwaves. So I had to, we had to learn about pay for play. And then you had to learn about all of the rules from the FEC that govern airtime specifically before elections. And depending on how close to the election day you are, if you’re going to have on a political candidate, You have to give equal time to their opponent. And so the and I mean, and it wasn’t just something that Trump made an accusation of and it was unfounded. I mean, there were there was agreement that what CBS did was violate this this equal time consideration because it was it had fallen within the time period of X amount of days before an election. And they there was no equal time that had been offered to Trump at all whatsoever. And even and they did it so late in the game that they weren’t going to be able to accommodate equal time for him in the same manner. So he absolutely did have a case. Anybody that has ever been on airwaves at all whatsoever has to undergo protection. Like an educational course or some kind of training or something on this to where you understand it because you can get seriously fined for violating it. When I did local radio, when I was first starting out, this was something that we had to really religiously adhere to. And the crazy thing is, is that different campaigns would try to trigger it. because you would have campaigns that would wait and they would try to argue that so-and-so was within the scope of time when they weren’t. And it was a big ordeal. So networks have to be very careful of this. And I think that they just CBS just thought that they could get away with it. I remember when I saw that interview that night, I was like, oh, man, they’re going to get their handed to them for this because it was an absolute violation. You were within 30 days of the election. I mean, it was they had to offer equal time and they hadn’t. And that’s why they got in trouble. It wasn’t because he was bribing them. Seriously, they need to make up their mind. If you’re so in the right, then step two. But they knew that they weren’t. That’s why they settled. This had nothing to do with it. Stephen Colbert’s show was so incredibly low rated. He was hemorrhaging, not just viewers. He had already lost like four million viewers, almost his entire audience that he had attracted when he first was kicking it in 2015. Their ad revenue was half of what it was in 2018. So his ad revenue dropped. It was $439 million in 2018. It dropped to like $218 million. And it was continuing to hemorrhage. It was still on the decline. So they were dropping viewers like flies. I mean, in one demo, one time, they barely edged out Jimmy Kimmel, which is why he keeps running around acting like he’s like somehow the undisputed king of late night. He beat Jimmy Kimmel one time in the 18 to 49 demo. And it was by fewer than a thousand viewers. I have all of his ad. I have everything here. It was by, I mean, it literally was, this was Late Nighter. You have New York Post, Late Nighter, TMZ. I mean, this is so goofy. Adweek, which marked his ad revenue. And Adweek is a pretty left-leaning publication, by the way. The show’s ratings and ad revenue have been on a disastrous downward trend. That was a quote. That was from weeks ago. They were comparing the late-night shows. They said, the show’s ratings and ad revenue are on a disastrous downward trend, particularly when compared to the show’s peak viewership and when compared to every other late-night show, shows like The Tonight Show. And then it gets into how The Tonight Show’s ratings were better and their ad rates are more… I mean, you can substantiate them a little bit more. So that’s all. That was what… It was the ratings… decline, the ratings decline, and the ad revenue decline. So this idea that he was told to go because what Schiff is saying here, that it was somehow punitive because he was critical of Trump, that has nothing to do with it. This was in the works for a long time. This was in the works for a long time, even before the settlement. He has been struggling since his show first started. These other late night shows were able to maintain, and even when they would have dips and dives, they were able to actually regain. His show never was. It never, ever recaptured an event. And you know when it really started nose diving per ad week? It was actually during COVID. Who was really celebratory about locking everybody down? Stephen Colbert, nobody wanted to watch that. Nobody wanted to be stuck in their house by by force of penalty, by threat of penalty and have to watch a guy celebrating and telling and being in everyone’s face and telling everyone like some jerk to stay home and not go to work and not have their kids go to school. He was not resonating with anybody. He wasn’t. I was talking real quick to a friend of mine because I said Craig Ferguson earlier a couple of days ago, and I should have said James Corden because the late 90s, Craig Ferguson was always a little bit more, for the lack of a better way to say it, agnostic, a little more chaos neutral. James Corden is the one that was not. So our partners for this portion of our program, it’s our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that is out there.

SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 19 :
So a new report claims that premature organ transplants are endangering donors. And there are several families that have gone on record stating that surgeons attempted to initiate organ retrievals while patients were still alive or improving. Per a July 20th report from the New York Times, amid a growing push for increased transplants, a number have endured premature or bungled attempts. And so now the Health Resources and Services Administration has been investigating. They said there were 70 canceled organ removals in Kentucky alone that should have been stopped sooner because patients showed signs of revival. And so now you have Health and Human Services looking to fix the transplant system. I’m going to tell you, there’s a lot of questions to be asked about this. And there are a lot of people that want to bully you away from asking questions by portraying you ironically as heartless. Ironically. Yeah. Also, let’s see here. One in four Gen Z workers regrets going to college. I still have to meet. I don’t know. There’s like a lot of people that think, too, that when they graduate college, that they immediately should be in line for like a CEO position and they don’t want to do grunt work. They don’t want to. They don’t understand the concept of having to start like everybody else ever in the history of humankind and working your way up. But I also think that not everybody should be going to college either. But they said now there’s 23 percent of them. And I’m wondering if they’re the 23 percent that also was demanded that Biden pay for their college. And then Biden promised free college and then he didn’t fulfill free college and kind of pull the rug out from everyone. And something that no one ever could have saw coming. It’s not like we talked about it for days. Ground squirrels. Yes, squirrels are taking over in North Dakota City and officials are not amused. They are displeased. You might say squirrels are exasperating the people of Minot, burrowing everywhere from vacant lots to the middle of town. They say that they’re there for the past couple of decades. The population control population has exploded and its fourth largest city in Dakota. They’re trying to fight back. But they said it’s an uphill battle because there’s so many of them. It’s a war like the Great Emu War, but now it’s with squirrels. A delivery truck driver was struck by lightning outside of a house in a terrifying video. This is crazy. I’m going to tell you, lightning don’t play, man. It does not play. The driver ducked and let out a shout. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, if you can believe it or not. But, yeah, can you imagine? He made it out. He almost got zapped. Came out unscathed. Stick with us because a funny way that white progressives are harassing people in the Northeast. We always complain about Hollywood, but how many people actually do something about it? That’s the thing. How many people, beyond canceling a Netflix subscription, actually do something about shaping what Hollywood does? A lot of people think that they don’t have the power to do that. That’s incorrect. Angel Studios is doing it, and you can join that fight. Angel Studios is putting out the content that people really want to see, stuff that celebrates American exceptionalism.

SPEAKER 03 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 06 :
Crack cocaine make you act any differently? No. Is it safer than alcohol? Probably. People think of crack as being dirty. It’s the exact opposite. When you make crack, what you’re doing is you’re burning off all the impurities so that it combines with the sodium bicarbonate, which makes it smokable. That’s all.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. Seriously. Good heavens. That’s Hunter Biden.
SPEAKER 14 :
I didn’t think I was going to get like a crack tutorial on my bingo card today.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, I didn’t either. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. I don’t know. Audio soundbite one. This is the ambient cut. That was pretty insane. Listen, please.
SPEAKER 06 :
I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world, basically, the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as ****. Give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights.
SPEAKER 19 :
I don’t think he needs Ambien to help sleep. you i don’t think he needs ambient to help go to sleep yeah i think he needed crack i think he needed something to wake up he looked like he was dead more than he needed that yeah he looks like he was dead i mean i think he needed yeah i think he needed some something i don’t know i just can’t i can i play three again i’m still trying to wrap my mind around this this is this is a soundbite for the ages listen to three listen to three
SPEAKER 06 :
My question to anybody that is keeping an open mind is what is it that you think the laptop proves or what you call the laptop? So everybody has a laptop. So when they say Hunter Biden’s laptop, what is it that they’re talking about?
SPEAKER 04 :
Do you know? Well, I know that you your entire iCloud was connected to it, all of your personal text messages. private photos, all that kind of stuff. Like everybody’s laptop.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
And you left it with a repair shop owner. Particularly, I think the New York Post was involved in the spearheading of this mass dissemination of your private materials. From what it seemed like, it was a lot of private texts between you and your friends, family. Your entire sort of private life was on there.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. And again, so everybody has a laptop. Everybody has a cloud.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m assuming not.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, no, no, no. Not everybody has a laptop. Everybody has a digital life. Almost everybody has a digital life. Everybody has a digital life, pretty much. And that includes voicemails and pictures and test messages and emails and location data and, you know, everything. Everybody. You do, you do. Everybody that is here right now. By whatever means, they got my digital footprint going back decades.
SPEAKER 19 :
By whatever means. Well, it was because of you, because you literally uploaded it to a porn site that was public. That’s how they got it, by whatever means. You had uploaded a lot of these videos already. A lot of these videos people found online without needing your laptop to do it. And then they found that there were videos that you had on your laptop that had also already been uploaded to these different sites online. You left your laptop at a repair shop for over a year, well over a year. You can’t, they’re not a storage facility. And he signed a contract stating that if he didn’t pick it up after six months, then it was theirs. So he wants to come back almost a year after that six month term, because it was actually over a year. That’s how long he left it there. And he thought that I don’t know. That was the means by which they got it. That was the means by which he got it. Lorraine makes an interesting point because the guy who looks like Fletch, who’s wearing the ball cap and doing the interview, apparently he’s, I don’t know, some rando who made his YouTube page look like a legitimate site. And that’s… I don’t know if Hunter Biden knew who he was talking to. Maybe that’s why the guy never pressed back and looked so terrified when he was asking him questions because he acted like he was too afraid to ask him anything. What? You got a realization over there?
SPEAKER 14 :
So they kind of pumped Hunter in this interview.
SPEAKER 19 :
Did he though? I mean, or maybe he had, maybe it started out that way, but he just never pushed back. If you have Hunter Biden in front of you saying, well, I don’t know. They just got this by whatever means they got it. You’re going to be like, dude, You uploaded this stuff yourself. You did this. You upload people found it. Like I said, before the laptop, these videos were already out because they ran it. I don’t want to know how, but they ran across them on these grody sites and it came out that way. So I don’t know. I, those are the means by which they came out.
SPEAKER 14 :
I was told this was Russian disinformation.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, it was too, that it was all Russian disinformation. Why didn’t he just go with that? Why didn’t he just be like, yeah, that was all Russian disinformation? He’s so privileged and he acts like he’s so beat up on. He had the whole intel apparatus running defense for him. He had the FBI, the CIA, Secret Service. He had DNI. DOJ, he had literally every intelligence apparatus in the entirety of the Department of Justice that were acting as his babysitters. Because remember, it was Secret Service that was said to have hushed up the gun in the trash can. And it was Secret Service that apparently hushed up And this is from his own memoir. This is about the time he bought his gun. He went on a bender and then rented a car somewhere out in California and drove to Arizona or something. And he had his brother’s attorney general badge in his car. And he was drunk and cracked out of his mind. And didn’t he like wreck the car or do something and just left it there and Secret Service had to intervene and all this stuff. And all of these people were cleaning up his mess. That’s why it didn’t make, no one knew about it until he wrote about it in his memoir. Is that not something? The son of the Vice President of the United States does this and you don’t know about it. Is that not something? Cain?
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t know why you’re attacking baby Hunter Biden.
SPEAKER 19 :
I would love to get breaks like this.
SPEAKER 14 :
Right.
SPEAKER 19 :
I would love to get as many breaks as these Biden brats get. His daughter is my age. I am a grown ass woman. His daughter is my age and she leaves her diary in a flop house. And they discover it and they make a big fit like that’s not ours. It’s fake news. It’s more Russian stuff while they’re raiding reporters houses to get it. And then they get it back and then they sued the drug addict, the recovering addict that found it and try to put her in jail because she found it like forever. Like, again, another situation. Hunter Biden left his laptop for almost actually was 18 months. Ashley Biden’s diary was found there after she had moved out like eight months, nine months later. Never came back for it. Never expressed any interest in it. And it wasn’t until any Joe Biden doesn’t intervene until his kids actions hurt him. And then he gets involved because he’s such a caring dad. Sorry, but if you have two kids who are messed up like this and they’re from two different women, the common denominator here is you. You’re a crap dad. You’re a bad dad. And we need to be we need to you’re a bad parent if your kids are like doing the stuff that Hunter and Ashley Biden are doing. I know in society we can’t say that because no one wants to have their feelings hurt. No one wants to be indicted for messing up as a parent. Nobody wants to do that. Well, get over it because it happened and you suck. This is bad. I would love to have these breaks. It sounds like he’s still the Biden still want to be kingmaker or they I don’t think they ever were kingmaker. Let me rephrase that. They want to have a life after the White House as kingmakers. That’s that’s kind of like the feel that I’m getting from this a little bit. Now, coming up, I got to switch gears here. So. Paramount. struck a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park. They’re going to produce 10 new episodes per year of South Park. So it’s like $30 million an episode, right? This show has lasted for so long. It’s actually pretty amazing. So this is good news. I think it’s very good news. So they’re getting… It’s a five-year deal… 1.5 billion. Now, they fired Colbert. Paramount did. And now they’re going to be able to hire a show that actually retains viewers and grows viewership. Huge streaming deal. So they got the global streaming rights for South Park. So they’re bringing it to Paramount Plus. Where is it right now? Is it like on Hulu or something? South Park? didn’t comedy central have its own like little app and then it’s gone now i don’t think that they keep it up anymore is comedy central still wait first off is that a thing anymore so sidebar i don’t even the only reason i keep cable is to watch c-span and then um literally just like two news stations i’m not even lying that’s literally i don’t i don’t watch it i do not watch cable at all do you watch cable And I found I haven’t even really, the past couple of years, I haven’t been watching C-SPAN really.
SPEAKER 14 :
You’re right, I don’t have. I mean, usually we get clips of things now instead of watching full. Like in the old days, we’d have to watch a full thing to find out what the time code and what we wanted out of it. But nowadays.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, I’m like, do I want to keep it or just get rid of it? And if I want to stream a news network, I’ll just put that on or flip back and forth between them. I mean, I need to do the math on that. Like what’s the cost? Because I don’t even know why I have cable. I have not watched cable before. I have not sat down and watched anything on cable in five years.
SPEAKER 14 :
For some people, it’s how they get the Internet into their home. So it’s like a combo package for some of these companies. So some people can’t get rid of their cable. They just have Internet. They probably don’t consume cable. They probably consume more online content.
SPEAKER 19 :
And I wonder, too, that I know it makes everybody mad because you have to subscribe to so many different apps. Like if you want one thing, you got to, and I don’t want to, I don’t want to do all that stuff either. I get you. Like you need a one stop. I get it. So I don’t know. But I mean, I, that’s right. I didn’t even know if Comedy Central, I just remember seeing it on, I don’t know if it was Hulu or where it was. So now the show, Five Year Deal, 1.5 billion. That’s going to be 300 million a year. This is crazy. And that’s it. The deal apparently is still being finalized. But it is one of the… I think it’s one of the longest running shows. This show came out right when I started college. I was a freshman in college. I think when this show launched. Either that or senior in high school. I don’t remember. It was like right there. I was like 17, 18 years old when this show launched. Because I graduated when I was 17. So I… I mean, that’s how long this show’s been on. I’ve raced, like, you know, I’ve got two kids. I have a whole family. That’s how long this show’s been on. How wild is that? I don’t know any other show that’s had the longevity that South Park has. So interesting. So I… There are a lot of, like, really jealous creators out there over the South Park stuff. And I do think it’s fabulous that… Let me add this for some context, too. If this was just about Trump not liking Colbert, South Park’s made fun of him, too. South Park, they make fun literally of everybody. They are equal opportunity offenders. They make fun of everybody. But there’s a difference. They do it to have fun. Stephen Colbert does it because he’s an old crank. That’s why. There’s a big difference. He’s just a mean-spirited, nasty old crank. That’s what he is.
SPEAKER 14 :
One way makes money, and Colbert’s way doesn’t.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, ridicule is fabulous. It is powerful. It’s funny. It’s unifying. And it’s somewhat based in truth. But when South Park does it, they’re not being mean-spirited. It is hysterical when they do it. And it makes sense. And it’s written well. And the voice actors, they’re good voice actors. Stephen Colbert is just mean. Isn’t he? He’s just mean. And he tries to wrap his mean-spiritedness in, I guess, he thinks he gets a pass for it because he’s a comedian. Lorraine reminds me, so Simpsons started in 1989, still running. South Park started in 97. Simpsons are the same way. They make fun of everything. If you want to be successful, you can make fun of everything and you can do it and still have fun. It’s when you lose the good humor about it that it makes it just insufferable, as Colbert’s found out. We have Florida Maine on the way as we roll. Our partners that help bring you the program, the folks over at Burn a Gun. I’m always going to tell people to carry a firearm. And I’m always going to tell people to train and use lethal force in defense of themselves or loved ones. I mean, I will. But I also realize that there are times when you are going to be denied your ability to carry, whether it’s a municipal restriction or a gun-free zone, private property, whatever it is. You don’t want to be made defenseless because gun-free zones only work as advertising for criminals that are illegally armed. They don’t do anything for the innocent people that end up being prey for those folks. So this is why you need to look at your options and diversify what you have in terms of weaponry. And the Burna Compact Launcher is a good start. So Burna Gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And it’s easy to get. I mean, there’s no background checks. There is no there’s no waiting periods. They’re not nothing like that. You don’t have to pay any kind of like fees, additional fees. It can be shipped right to your door. Doesn’t care about gun free zone signs. And it’s legal in all 50 states. And the C.L., That’s their most compact launcher. It’s small, easy to carry. I mean, there’s no recoil, easy target acquisition. And compared to regular stun guns that have one or two rounds, the Berna gun has five. So you have a lot of flexibility, legal flexibility as well. I think this is a good idea, particularly for college kids that are not old enough to carry handguns, but are old enough to live by themselves in different towns. And, you know, they want to be able to defend themselves. This is a great option. The Burna SD is the most popular selling. The CL is more compact. They have other models, but for the purposes of what we’re discussing, those are the two that I recommend. And you can check both of them out at Burna.com slash Dana. Burna CL is the new one, and that’s the one that’s the size basically of a smartphone. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 11 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 19 :
All right, so this Florida headline is pretty something. Naked man found hiding in tanning bed after trying to set Florida gym on fire. So I guess he was doing the Jersey Shore GTL. Gym, tan, laundry. Gym, tan, laundry. Video shows deputies arresting a man who tried to set fire to a Florida gym before he was found laying naked in a tanning bed. Body camera footage released by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office shows them respond, of course it’s a Planet Fitness. Do they have like those things? They have those tanning beds at Planet Fitness? That makes all the sense in the world. That makes so much sense now. They got reports that a naked man was running through the gym, crawling into the ceiling, and trying to start a fire in the bathroom. Then they are searching. Oh, I guess it is. They do have them there. Really? Well, they serve donuts there, too, at Planet Fitness, from what I heard. Yeah, you didn’t know that? No. Yeah, so that makes sense that they do this, too. It’s like fitness, but not. So they are searching the gym with guns drawn and canine before they find the man naked in a tanning bed. 25-year-old Henry with two R’s for some reason, Alvarado, was taken into custody and placed in a patrol car. They had to wrap him in a towel. The deputy goes, I’m going to wrap you up because you left cheek marks. Oh, God. Yeah. So he ran around. He climbed into the ceiling, knocked down ceiling tiles. He did all kinds of stuff. So he’s got a number of charges. I know. Let’s see. A Florida man gets a… He wins a DUI after he plays a game of drive a lawnmower into busy roads. Wow. What a fun game. Don’t do it. So a Florida man… got picked up by police because he drove his riding lawnmower down a busy toll road while he was drunk six ways to Sunday. Christopher Spain, 38. He went out for a little drive or a mow. And when he failed to signal or it wasn’t because he failed to signal or because he sped, they said he was driving erratically. How do you drive erratically in a lawnmower? I mean, for whatever reason, when you give me small objects that have power, I can’t drive them very well. But I could probably drive a lawnmower like better than this guy. And so he apparently drove the thing on a toll road. Witnesses called police and they made clear that they were able to catch him and they took him into custody. He’s got a DUI charge. Stick with us. We’ve got more in store. Third hour next.

SPEAKER 15 :
CBS, our network, CBS, who I want to reiterate have always been great partners, put out a statement saying very nice things about me and about the show, and thank you to them for that. They clarified that the cancellation was purely a financial decision. But how could it purely be a financial decision if The Late Show is number one in ratings? A lot of folks… It’s confusing. A lot of folks are asking that question, mainly my staff’s parents and spouses. Over the weekend, somebody at CBS followed up their gracious press release with a gracious anonymous leak saying they pulled the plug on our show because of losses pegged between $40 million and $50 million a year. $40 million is a big number. I could see us losing $24 million, but where would Paramount have possibly spent the other $16 million? Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
oh they just spent a hundred and something on uh south park because they’re funnier than you golly i can’t wait till he’s off air because i just he’s just not funny he’s mad imagine being mad and bad and then complaining that people don’t just like give you participation trophies why does he act like such a millennial he’s like isn’t he i don’t know how old he is but he’s like 60 something isn’t he I don’t know. I really don’t know. I don’t care. Don’t tell me because I don’t care. I really don’t. I just don’t care. Welcome back to the program. Kill us all now because that’s the the left is actually can’t even deal with him. They apparently we got a deal, a trade deal. White House and Philippines made a trade deal per the Hill. They agreed to the trade deal with the U.S. They’re going to lower tariffs on it. I like how they first there’s immediately right in that first sentence. Can you check your stories before you run with your typos? Philippines has agreed to a trade deal with the United States that will lower U.S. tariffs on its experts to 19%. Lower your tariffs on your experts. Well, dang. I mean, what were the experts tariffed at, Cain?
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t know. I was looking for the info on exports, though.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, well, that’s not what we’re talking about, is it, sir? We’re talking about experts. Now, I don’t know what type of experts… I mean, I know it’s a typo, but still. The O is on the other side of the keyboard from the E. It really is. It really is. It’s like way over there.
SPEAKER 14 :
It takes a whole other hand.
SPEAKER 19 :
I know. I’m saying. So they said it’s a great visit. They’re going to pay 19% tariff and they’re going to work together militarily. And so it’s, I mean, it goes from 20 to 19%. I don’t know. You get a discount. Trump announced a 17 percent duty on imports from the Philippines in the spring that was on his liberation day. But he said it would go up to it would go up to 20 percent is what he says. So now he’s now he’s at 19 percent. I don’t care. OK, good. Great. Let’s get some. Let’s get trade deals. Dear heavens, let’s do this, please. That’s what we’ve been needing to do. Something has to happen. All right, I promised you that I was going to share with you this way that white progressives are trying to aggravate John Roberts and conservatives. This is actually hysterical. Do you kayak, Cain?
SPEAKER 14 :
Let me start with this. I have, but it’s been so long, and I don’t think I ever will again.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, I’ve kayaked. I don’t like it. Because it makes me pretend that I can’t use my legs. And I feel like I’m trapped. And I don’t like that. I don’t. What if you fall over? What if it tips over? And then you’re, I’m sure that there’s a way that it doesn’t do that. But what if? You know, what if? Anyway, so progressives in Maine. This is a What About Bob episode or sequel. They kayaked to the summer home of Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts to protest the extremist agenda and demand resistance to tyranny. And it looks, if I’m being honest, it looks really lame. I mean, you have a bunch of like basically granola people. They love their granola. and they’re oh my gosh you guys they made an actual whole video oh my gosh they actually made like a whole produced video oh my gosh they actually did yeah yeah yeah yeah it’s on my run down they um made a whole video of this where they um i guess one of them has a drone Hopper Island flotilla. They called it a flotilla. Wait, let’s… One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Nine kayaks. There’s nine whole kayaks. Nine whole kayaks. And they called it a flotilla. And they… I don’t know what they’re doing. I’m watching this video and they’re just basically in the water way, way, way, way far away from his house. That’s on his summer house. I guess it’s on the land. I don’t know where his summer house is. And they are sitting there and I don’t know what they’re doing. What was the point of this exercise? Juan’s showing you the video. Okay, someone explain to me how this is supposed to be a protest.
SPEAKER 14 :
I was told there was a flotilla.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, yeah, but it’s just a bunch of like granola eaters and tofu and hemp weavers. And they’re just in the water there. They’re just there doing whatever God knows what. What are they doing? They’re just sitting there. Oh, now they’re all together in that video. Look, now they’re all together. I feel like Snoop Dogg narrating Nat Geo. Look at all these hippies. Oh, there’s somebody in a little raft. That’s not a kayak. Liar. So what is the point of this? A bunch of dorks get in their kayaks and they go sit in the water like weirdos outside of John Roberts’ summer home? This is why I would have alligator snapping turtles and I would release them all into the water just then. What is the point of this? I don’t even know which one is his house. I guess the one where they keep trying to fly the drone up near his house? Yes. So what is this? This is a protest. Nobody knows what this is about. It just looks. What is the purpose of it? You waste a beautiful day sitting in a kayak outside, somewhat outside, like somewhat kind of near somebody’s house. That’s all it is. Kane, that’s all it is. I’m helping. Look at me. They had a float. Oh, they had signs that read that no one could read from shore. that said, shame, protect democracy, and you made a king. And then they had little signs that lined the road that you can’t read, like they’re like the size of a piece of paper. You can’t even read them.
SPEAKER 14 :
How do we message?
SPEAKER 19 :
Can I just, wait, can we just, I mean, these are rich white people in their kayaks, number one. They’re just, I’m going to go out and protest in my kayak. Okay. Can we start protesting people at their homes for stuff? Okay, because here’s why. Because I saw a chick that was wearing nude colored leggings. Nobody should ever wear those. She was wearing nude colored leggings. And I saw her in the grocery store in the frozen food section. And I was like, what? I just saw a pantsless person. And it took me a hot second to realize, no, those are her legs. And she’s, my grandmother says, would say leggings like this. And I can’t say it like I used to anymore. I have to say it the way she does. And this woman was in leggings. Okay. Nude colored leggings and had black flip flops on. First off, leggings aren’t pants. Maybe put on shoes. And I just think that if you’re going out in sweats and workout gear, you’re just giving up in life. I subscribe to the Karl Lagerfeld theory of dress. You don’t leave your house in sweats and you don’t wear leggings as pants. Especially, there’s never any time that nude leggings is okay. So the reason I’m asking this is because are we just going to start randomly protesting people for things we dislike? Because I would be so busy if that’s the case. Right?
SPEAKER 14 :
You could get some people involved with your cause.
SPEAKER 19 :
I mean, show up like leggings aren’t pants with like signs you could actually read like ban nude leggings. Nude leggings is tyranny. That’s the kind of stuff, you know.
SPEAKER 12 :
Dude, leggings is tyranny. Is that what you said?
SPEAKER 19 :
I said that, yep. That’s what I said. It’s is, not or. It’s is. Just things like that, you know. Or, I don’t know. I mean, I just, maybe we can do stuff like that. This is such a rich, progressive way to protest, by the way. Guys, I have an idea. Let’s go get on our kayaks. Yeah. Aren’t they expensive? Hang on. I don’t know anything about kayaks. I don’t care if it’s live radio. I’m asking the internet.
SPEAKER 14 :
I don’t think they’re that expensive. Maybe they are. Kayaks are expensive.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay, answer. Oh, yeah, they are, actually. Oh, wait, no. Yeah, they’re actually not, like, super cheap. They’re very expensive.
SPEAKER 09 :
Really?
SPEAKER 19 :
Prices vary. Yeah, I mean… apparently yeah they’re like five hundred thousand dollars apparently what i don’t know i’d rather just have a giant kayak kayaking is not like a totally is it as expensive as hockey probably not but anyway i just think that that’s like the most progressive the most trust fund socialist way to protest is guys let’s go get in our kayaks and let’s go kayak over to John Roberts’ summer home. Let’s leave our summer homes and our kayaks and go to John Roberts’ summer home, and let’s go protest him from our kayaks. Oh, yes, Steve knows. Well, first were, well, they would leave their summer homes and they would get in their kayaks and paddle over. And then what do you do? Like, that’s so anticlimactic. You’re there protesting with your sign. You got to balance your paddle and you got your sign. Like, do you have like chants or something? I don’t know. The thing I love most is that they made a very well produced. They made a very well produced video. My dog just broke into the studio. They made a very, you can’t come in here. But you can’t, though. But you can’t. So Wick is trying to break in. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. But that’s not for puppies. Anyway, he’s mad because he heard about the kayakers. So Wick learned how to open gates.
SPEAKER 14 :
You can’t, though. He’s more of a John.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s not for puppies. It’s not for puppies.
SPEAKER 14 :
Kind of guy.
SPEAKER 19 :
So he learned how to open gates. Juan’s showing you right now. So they had a drone. Who’s controlling the drone? So they had a drone that made all this footage and did this super well-produced video. And this is so self-glorifying. I want to throw a big old boulder right in between the kayaks and just have the waves go.
SPEAKER 14 :
What’s the next level of protesting? Is it helicopters? Hey, guys, let’s get in our helicopters. Let’s fly over someone’s summer home.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, we’re going to go take our choppers and go fly over someone else’s mansion. We’re going to leave our mansions in our kayaks and we’re going to paddle over. And then we’re going to protest and then we’re going to. This is me paddling fast. Paddling back over.
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s what we’re doing. Let’s imagine a time right before the kayakers showed up at Robert’s home. And now let’s think of the time right after they left. What was the difference? Was there any sort of change? Was there an addition to policy that somehow popped up because of it? What did they do by floating by and sitting around for a little bit?
SPEAKER 19 :
No. I would walk out with a brewski on my deck and be like, what’s up losers?

Really sad breaking news just now. Ozzy Osbourne dead at age 76 years old. It’s now being announced by everyone from Hollywood Reporter to TMZ. The Osbournes apparently said in a statement that he died, died today surrounded by love. That is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. They said he was with his family, surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. This was just a couple of weeks after he played his The Farewell Show with Sabbath, The Farewell Show. So he went out on his own terms. Unbelievable. Wow. I mean, you’re just one of those guys you thought would live forever. We’ll have more on that coming up. But Ozzy Osbourne now dead at age 76, just announced by the family. Also, some of our latest headlines. We’re going to have more on that, like I said, coming up. We also have. This, let’s see, an engine of a Boeing passenger plane burst into flames during takeoff. Another Boeing plane. And also, there is a, well, what, is the do not drink order, it was lifted in Port Angeles after a fuel tanker spill. That’s KIRO Channel 7 that first reported that. And that was just the other day. They said they finally lifted the do not drink order for residents after a tanker truck carrying gas and diesel overturned in Indian Creek. So a lot of stuff happening. Ozzy Osbourne dead at 76 years. We have that and more coming up. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 19 :
Gosh, this is one of the best songs, too. Ozzy Osbourne, dead at age 76. Well, Mama, I’m coming home. And this is one of my absolute favorite songs that anybody has ever done. I mean, No More Tears is amazing. Crazy Train. I mean, the catalog of his music is amazing. And it’s like, man, this is this is a bummer. 76 years old. That seems so young, right? That seems so young. Steve, can we wait until at least it hits the chorus? I mean, it’s going to take a little bit to get there. Those of you who are watching the stream, you’re like, what? We’re playing it for the radio folks in the background. But it’s such a great track. Mama, I’m Coming Home. That’s such a great track. Dead at 76. And it was just announced by the family. They released a statement. But goodness. Yeah, this song, this was, was this released in 90? Something like 90, I think, 91, something like that. I just, I remember when this song came out, I think I was in sixth or seventh grade. And I thought, man, this is like such a great song. And I remember, don’t laugh at me. I had my Sony Discman, you know, my Sony Discman that you had to hold like this because if you bumped it at all, it’d skip. But we’d drive back from the Ozarks from my family and I’d have my little, my little headphones on and I’d listen to the song leaving. And there’s a chorus that kicks in. Oh, so good. So good. Dead at 76 years old. Now, you guys know I’m, I’m, Kane and I are big fans. Big music aficionados. I like all good music. It doesn’t matter. I’ll go in any genre. Love Black Sabbath. Love Ozzy Osbourne. I’ve seen them live. I don’t know how many times I’ve been to Ozzfest. In fact, one of the coolest moments of my life, it was backstage at something because we knew some mutual people and I was seven months pregnant with my second son. And it was something that members of Sabbath were doing. And Gieser Butler was backstage. And I found myself standing literally right next to Gieser Butler. Could not have been nicer. He was incredibly nice. And he was very concerned because I was very pregnant. And he was just like, are you all right? Would you like to sit down? And, you know, he was very nice. But, yeah, just, man, Ozzy had a very, what? How many comebacks did this guy have? I mean, he never really left. But think of it. How many, not comebacks, how many iterations in his career did he have successfully? That is an accomplishment in and of itself. I mean, after, I think, when did he start doing the Osbournes? When they start doing the reality show. That, I think, was one of the big moments for reality television. That is literally the only reality show I ever watched was the Osbournes. Yeah. I’m not into, like, reality TV. I’ve never been into reality TV. They’ve… You know, he’s… That show is interesting. And he still toured. He still toured. I liked his work that he did with Zach Wild. I mean, you know, goodness. Everything that he did was good. I loved the duet that he did with Lita Ford, Close My Eyes Forever. Gosh, do you remember, Kane, when that track hit? I mean, it’s still… That’s still… is a great track. So 76 years of age. And we were talking on break. So, uh, Keith Richards is how old? How old is Keith Richards? Yeah. He’s like 11,000 years old. He’s still at ease. Yeah. He’s still out there playing. But yeah, his first… Can you imagine your Ozzy Osbourne and your first solo album and the first track… The hit track off your debut solo album is Crazy Train. How many people strike gold like that? That’s such a great track. Such a great track. And then, of course… Des Moines, Iowa is forever going to be famous, well, for a number of reasons, the least of which include the bat biting. He did think, in his defense, he thought that that was a fake bat that someone threw on stage. He didn’t think it was real until… And I watched an interview with him where he didn’t actually know it was real until he bit into it. He wasn’t trying to, like, eat a bat. I mean, I don’t know. Unless he was pulling our leg in that, I don’t know. But, man, there’s not a lot of… Every now and then you get these pop culture events that happen, and I think it really kind of like sharpens perspective of everything. And one of the things that really struck out to me is how important I think live music is and rock and roll. It’s not music today is different. It’s very different. And you see how big bands are that incorporate a lot of, you know, the more old school sound and old school instrumentation. I have to say old school instrumentation because everything seems to be like computer generated. But man, I don’t know. I hope everybody’s like blasting some Aussie today. That’s just wild that. Yeah. Everyone’s like, man, this hits hard. It does. It’s crazy. He said, I don’t know. He’s just one of those guys that you think is going to live forever. Like Keith Richards, right? Like Keith Richards is the only thing that’s going to be left on this planet. And a hundred, like, you know, several years, a hundred thousand years in the future, we’ll have Nokia, old Nokia, flip phones, cockroaches, and Keith Richards, Keith Richards. He’s his only good. And I don’t say that as being mean. That man figured out how to live through everything. And I thought Ozzie would be another one. I really did. I thought he would be another one. Man, so he was able to go out, though, on his own terms, man. He played a live show. I mean, that was just a couple of weeks ago. Craziness. Craziness. So, man, I know everyone’s asking me about my grandma’s rule of three, Kane. I can’t keep… Lorraine goes, 76 is not young. Yes, it is, Lorraine! It is young in rock and roll! It’s young! It’s young!
SPEAKER 14 :
In rock and roll, it’s actually not young.
SPEAKER 19 :
Stop it. Stop it, Kane.
SPEAKER 14 :
In rock and roll. True.
SPEAKER 19 :
She says Richards is, yeah, he’s 81. Is it mean that I thought Keith Richards would go first?
SPEAKER 14 :
No, everyone’s thinking that. Right? We’ve been thinking that since the 90s. We’ve been thinking that since the 90s.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, we’ve been thinking of it since the 90s. Man! So, yeah, if you’re just joining us, Ozzy Osbourne, absolutely legendary, has passed away, age 76 years old. And, man, just pretty unbelievable. Pretty unbelievable. They said that, I mean, this is just weeks after his final show. Didn’t he go out sitting in a chair? He was out on the throne for his final show. And, honestly, like, his voice, his tone, and his pitch… sounded pretty dang good you got to give him credit you know um i don’t know he’s got he definitely lived loudly he snorted ants once didn’t he did he snort ants in front of motley crew isn’t that the story that they were trying to like one up each other and then he snorted a bunch of ants and they were like oh my gosh yeah So I don’t know. He’s got I mean, he helped define and I think mainstay an entire genre. And I think he like really they got a lot of I think they got a lot of heat for being because they’re like, oh, you’re in the occult and you’re into all of this. I mean, it was a stage performance, no less than Alice Cooper was a stage performance. And Alice Cooper is an absolute devout Christian. and I would put up his charitable work against anybody’s any day of the week. You know, Ozzy maybe less so, but it was about theater. It was about theatrical performance. That’s what it was. But he was able to, I think, survive through so many different things, not just in music, but so many different controversies. And he always came back because he always made good music. I always think that should be like a lesson for people, especially like when you have controversies in politics. You know, you can better weather controversy if you have a good body of work to stand on. And that’s why a lot of the clickbait whoredom and influencing and all of that’s just such trash. It’s why they’re a dime a dozen and people come and go, you got to be able to stand on your body of work. And that’s one of the things, whether it’s music or anything, you can see that it’s incredibly evident for him. He sold over 100 million records. Golly. Golly, 100 million records. Just unbelievable. But, yeah, he’s, I don’t know, he’s always, it just always seemed like he was a mainstay, that he was going to be a mainstay. So, goodness. Anything to add, Kane? Anything to add?
SPEAKER 14 :
Not really. I mean, he’s… That sound was influential for rock as a whole for many decades. And it still will be, you know, out into the future. But definitely a very influential sound.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. Yeah, very much so. I would absolutely agree. Very, very much so. So, wow, just craziness. Just craziness. So I’m happy I got to see him live. That’s all I care about. I’m happy I got to see him perform live a couple of times and enjoyed his music. So just another one gone. I don’t know. Everyone’s like, Dana, grandma’s rule of three because now everybody’s petrified. I literally got like a handful of emails just in the past like 20 minutes about this. I don’t know. Kane, you got to keep track of this. Who’s the third now? Or is that three? Are we safe for a while? What’s up?
SPEAKER 14 :
I mean, I think that’s technically three because, I mean, if you think about it, this guy, Tom Troop. Who? Tom Troop. He was in Star Trek and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
SPEAKER 19 :
No, he doesn’t count.
SPEAKER 14 :
He doesn’t count? No, he don’t count. Okay. Well, he would have made three then.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, you have to know him.
SPEAKER 14 :
Theo Huxtable.
SPEAKER 19 :
Theo Huxtable.
SPEAKER 14 :
And then we’ve got Ozzy Osbourne.
SPEAKER 19 :
There was someone else before Theo.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
So that would be three.
SPEAKER 14 :
But that was a while ago, right?
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, but it’s like if it’s in. So for the people who have no idea what I’m talking about, God love her. God rest her soul. I don’t want to get haunted. But my grandmother had like some really crazy rules and really crazy like superstitions. So she had this rule of three. Deaths are always in threes and it has to be somebody that you know of or that you know, like somebody famous of whom you know of them or somebody that you actually personally know. And if there’s a fourth and it starts all over again. Right. But it’s always in threes. She’s never been wrong. I’m just saying. So whenever we have a celebrity death or a political or whatever it is, we have to go by the rule of three. So I can’t remember who. I swear there was… I thought there was like a third one, but, you know, I… I don’t remember. I don’t remember now. My brain just got fried because of this news. I don’t remember who the third one is. Anyway, I’ll mull it over tonight. But a couple of other things to get into. Connie Francis. Thank you, Steve. Vegas Larry. God love you, Vegas Larry. Vegas Larry’s got the memory that’s going to save us all. Connie Francis. Theo Huxtable, a.k.a. Malcolm Jamal Warner, and now Ozzy. So that’s three.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s three. So it starts over.
SPEAKER 19 :
Okay. So we’re, now if there’s another one, then the rule three starts again. I didn’t make this rule. My granny boots, and they called her boots because she was mean. I don’t know how that makes sense, but that’s what they did. That’s her rule, and that’s what we got to roll by. So, man alive. Oh, all right. What? This is the most depressing segment of radio ever. We can’t go out. We can’t go into a break like this. I feel like Casey Kasem now. You can’t go from an uptempo song into a dog death. If you guys have no idea what I’m talking about, you need to Google Casey Kasem dog. Just Google it. And then there’s going to be this video where he’s pre-taping a program and he’s very upset because he has to go from an uptempo song, right? From a song into this dedication of a dog death. And he’s like, he gets so mad. He gets so mad about it. And he just works himself up into a fit over it.

SPEAKER 19 :
Who didn’t, when they were learning to play guitar, try to get this line? Who didn’t try to do that? Actually, no, I did, so I can’t. I play a really bad rhythm guitar, but I can play. But yeah, I mean, after that, you know, like breaking into the verse, like, no, I’m done now at that point. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. And we were talking about Ozzy Osbourne because he passed away at age 76. That’s like an iconic thing, I think, for just like music. And it’s one of the water cooler things. And when I say a water cooler thing, I mean, there’s different things that happen in pop culture that everyone can be like, wait a minute, pause for a moment. Democrat, Republican, whatever, independent, DEI, non-DEI. And everybody can be like, wait a minute, there’s a commonality here. That happens so hardly at all anymore, right? And It just pulls you out of your little individual silos and you’re back, for the lack of a better way to put it, in Earth’s gen pop, right? You’re pulled out of your own little silo and you’re like, wait a minute, we all liked him? We all liked his music? Yes. And, you know, I’m sure we didn’t agree on everything and that’s irrelevant. He still made great, you know, had great songs. He had really good songs. But that’s one of the reasons why this is like also something that, you know, you kind of hover over a little bit. But because it was just one of those, it’s one of those things, one of those unifying things, the water cooler moment. But man, that’s a great song. Randy Rhodes is on that song. I think he’s got he’s got a he helped write. He’s got a songwriting credit on that on that track, too. That was from his debut album. And that was like his his like debut song off it. That’s crazy to have such a barn burner like right out of the gate. But yeah, I and I said to Kane, I’m like, are we going to have a bunch of sissies now? We don’t have like a lot of we don’t have very many really good old school rock and rollers anymore. We don’t. People who threw caution to the wind and embraced what that what it’s kind of all about. You know, you just you embrace. I’m not saying sin and excess. Get over it for a minute. But that. Audible journey. I don’t know how else to put it, Cain.
SPEAKER 14 :
No, it’s more formulaic now. Back then it was just kind of discovering some new ground. Now it’s all formulaic.
SPEAKER 19 :
People would get into a room and they’d jam and they’d write a song. Nowadays you’ve got session musicians and computers and they’re like, well, okay, this group likes this melody, so we’re going to put the oh, oh, oh in every song.
SPEAKER 14 :
Everybody’s barring traits.
SPEAKER 19 :
The millennial yodel.
SPEAKER 14 :
They’re barring traits from people who blaze trails. That’s what everyone’s doing now. Yeah.
SPEAKER 19 :
All right. Today in stupidity.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, I guess we can use Jamie Lee Curtis because there’s so much stupid. It’s hard to choose. It was just sort of that just pointed right at it. So let’s do cut 11 one. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s bad. He’s a great, great guy. Just cut NPR and public broadcasting. Yes, they’re trying to silence people, but that won’t work.
SPEAKER 14 :
You having federal dollars, having them taken away is not the same thing as a right being violated.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, nobody’s rights were violated. Nobody had their rights violated. Folks, that does it for us today. Have a good rest of your evening. I will be back with you tomorrow.
