In this week’s episode, we delve into the contentious issue surrounding a Muslims-only event held at a taxpayer-funded water park. The episode discusses the public’s reaction to the event’s advertisement, which many considered discriminatory. Legalese and the purpose of public accommodation laws form the core of the discussion as we further explore the implications of leasing public facilities for private events. We also examine the stance taken by groups involved, how they responded to the backlash, and the adjustments made to their public communications in an attempt to mitigate criticism.

SPEAKER 07 :
Welcome to the program. Yesterday, we told you about the story where a Muslim group was advertising a Muslims-only event at a city-owned, taxpayer-funded water park. Now, the group that is behind the DFW Epic EID at Epic Indoor Park is the Epic Plano Group, the exact group that’s behind the Epic City, which changed its name to the Meadow Group. And it’s the same group that’s behind both now. And so we talked about this yesterday and there was this and we showed you the graphic that they were using. I mean, and it was, I mean, pretty discriminatory. It was they had all over their advertising for Muslims only, Muslims only. They had it twice on one of their one of the. graphics that they used with the QR code to advertise. And then they had it even more on some of the other graphics that they used. And so that was the big thing. That’s pretty discriminatory. And apparently there are a lot of, you know, drive-bys on X that don’t understand law. They don’t understand things like public accommodation. They don’t understand Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They don’t understand that it doesn’t matter if you rent out a public space. It’s still owned by—and this is owned by the city. You can see there at the very bottom, it said Muslims only. And in fact, the third bullet—or the second bullet point there says for Muslims only. It says it twice on the ad. So that means that they were advertising it as for Muslims only. Now, that’s not something that you can do at a publicly owned entity. And that’s what this water park is. It’s taxpayer funded. They funded the bond issue and then they pay additional tax. And as a concession for that, they get a discount on the admission to the water park to people who live in Grand Prairie there. And so the event very clearly was advertising it as such. I don’t know how they were. This is the third annual, so it’s probably they advertised it for three years in a row. And That’s not something that you can do because of public accommodation, because of the existing law on that. It’s just law. It’s not it doesn’t matter what you think of it. It is the way that the law is. You cannot have a group even if you lease it. That’s not a workaround. Leasing a public entity is not a workaround to then say, oh, it’s only for this religious affiliation. You can’t be Christians and do this. So there was a lot of, you know. idiots out there that were trying to argue, well, you know, Christians do it all. No, Christians don’t do it all the time. No one, they, Christians never do an event and say Christians only. I’ve never seen an event that any kind of Christian organization ever did where they said Christians only ever, ever. Furthermore, they would have to abide by the same public accommodation restrictions as any other group if they were to lease out, rent out for a day, a water park. they couldn’t rent it out and say for Christians only, because it’s a taxpayer-owned, city-owned, taxpayer-owned public facility. So you can rent it out, but you cannot then use a public facility that’s funded by taxpayer dollars in a discriminatory fashion. And by saying Muslims only, that’s discriminatory. It would be the same thing if you said Christians only, that would be also considered discriminatory. It’s irrelevant. And it doesn’t matter, municipal-owned properties cannot deny access to one group while maintaining exclusivity for another group. That’s just the way it works. That’s the law. It doesn’t matter if you like the law or not. The law doesn’t care whether or not you like it. It’s the law regardless. And so people don’t understand public accommodation law that bar public entities from doing this. And so the bots were saying, but they rented it. Again, it’s irrelevant. Now, if Epic didn’t want that level of security and scrutiny, what they should have done is they should have organized their event ad. They should have organized their event at a privately owned water park in a DFW area, which there are many. They should have done that. They should have maybe reworded their advertising, which they finally did. So yesterday, they very surreptitiously changed it. They took out all of the for Muslims only thing. And… They knew it was problematic. I was reading a quote. This was from the New York Post. And the New York Post covered the—they quoted the—I guess she’s like the spokesperson for the event. But they quoted this woman at this event as saying that, well, we knew— Yes, it’s okay. She said that they’re backtracking on how they’re advertising it. She did not mean to exclude non-Muslims in organizing the event. I’m not quite sure that I believe that because, I mean, it very clearly was not written once but multiple times, Muslims only. And that’s why they try to surreptitiously remove it after the fact. So she accidentally loaded all of the advertising with repeated Muslims only verbatim verbiage? Yeah, I don’t buy that. I mean, anybody could have told you that’s an ixnay on the exclusion because it’s pretty discriminatory. So nobody believes that. But that’s they knew it was problematic and they realized it was problematic and they invited that scrutiny. And now they’re going to try to act like they’re victims. Oh, people were criticizing. Well, you were discriminatory. You made a very charged ad purposefully discriminating against people at a public facility that everybody pays for. And then they decided to take the language out of it. So they very quietly removed it, hoping that no one would know, Cain. But people saw it. She’s like, I didn’t mean to exclude non-Muslims at the event. I mean, I just didn’t mean to do that. That was just an accident. Because even the FAQ, the Frequently Asked Questions, if you go to the website, which I did, even the Frequently Asked Questions section said that, quote, the entire water park has been exclusively reserved for Muslims.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oops. Yeah. By the way, that’s still… I checked this morning. It’s still up there.
SPEAKER 07 :
So it’s a little bit of a problem. Now, they said that men and women will not be separated. We just ask attendees to uphold all Islamic etiquette. This is what gets me about Islamism, because now the defense says, no, no, no, this is just a modest event. It’s about modesty, modest things. We just want people to be respectful. What, unless they try to proselytize and you’re going to cut their heads off? I don’t know. I mean, I’m just, you know, modest event. It’s an interesting what. And then they have what to wear sections of the site. And it shows modesty approved swimwear. And I’m all for modesty. I’m not making fun of modesty. But I am questioning the wisdom of in June in Texas, wearing a full head covering, long sleeve, loose fitting top. That’s going to be horrific to swim in and long pants that go down to your heels. Can’t show that ankle, you know. There’s a man that might mistake that for a vagina. Can’t show that. So I don’t know. And then the guys, they’re like, here’s some trunks. Interesting. Is it not, Cain? No one’s worried about the women horndogging out. It’s always the men in Islamism, Cain. That’s weird. So weird. Yeah. So weird. So I don’t know. I mean… If they’re not, look, you can rent out, anybody can lease out a park. They can do that. But you can’t use a publicly owned facility as a way to say, no, Muslims only. It doesn’t work that way. And it wouldn’t work that way in Somalia either because they don’t have water parks because they’re broken barbaric. So, you know, they don’t have that there.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t suspect they were ignorant of the law. I suspect this was done intentionally so that later this would do. It’s doing what they planned it doing right now by us talking about it nationally. So now this is a national story. And then they can claim some sort of Islamophobia because they’re breaking the law. It’s ridiculous.
SPEAKER 07 :
We’re going to talk to Sarah Gonzalez. I first saw that story from her coming up here in a little bit about all of that. All right. So some of the other stuff to touch on as well. that we have to, yeah, because they removed that line. Oh, do I want to do this? I’m going to do it. Democrats have a problem. We’ll talk about the grand platinum problem that they have. They also have an, so Eric Swalwell, the grossness isn’t done, ladies and gentlemen. So we saw the video where he was apparently with a hooker, right? We saw the video where he was with a hooker. Apparently, he sent, oh gosh, I hate everything. I hate people like those that do these things and then they’re in the news and it’s news and you have to talk about it because it’s the news. So he sent videos of himself having a solo engagement, we’ll say. Very, very zealously engaging himself. And he sent it to women. Wow. Um, okay. Oh, and one of them was sent right before he announced that he was running for governor.
SPEAKER 14 :
Oh, that recent?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. Oh, that’s according to the media. Oh, by the way, and apparently it was sent to more than one woman. And it was more than one video of him zealously having a private engagement with himself. So he’s accused now by multiple women of sending multiple videos and even more sexually charged messages. Wow. So that’s disgusting. It just gets grosser. Just when you his wife, you think his wife knew? Oh, man. I mean, it’s you look at it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Fang Fang or any of it?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, like that he was sending, you know, these kind of horndog videos to other chicks.
SPEAKER 03 :
I doubt she knew.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t think.
SPEAKER 03 :
He doesn’t seem to me.
SPEAKER 07 :
How do you hide something like that?
SPEAKER 03 :
As a guy that’s forthcoming with information.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. But if you have like a, then they didn’t never had a strong marriage because if you have a strong marriage, then you know.
SPEAKER 03 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. So they either didn’t have a strong marriage.
SPEAKER 03 :
She wouldn’t be doing.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or she didn’t, or she was, yeah, that’s it. So, so yeah, I, oh man, this is so gross. This is so, oh, and nude photos. I’m actually sick. I’m actually sick. It’s so gross. I’m so disgusted. But what gets me. Remember when they went after Kavanaugh and that was all fake and that woman’s testimony fell apart in the hearing. What’s her name? Christine Wavy Ford. Oh, she was like she was like Elizabeth Warren with a blonde wig or with a long haired wig and blonde hair. But they went, like, all the way back to the days of yore, to a high school party where we were expected to believe that a mid-20-something-year-old woman was at a high school party and saw a high school Kavanaugh behaving inappropriately. Like, seriously? Like, that’s weird kind of stuff. They went back that far. You’re telling me they wouldn’t know this about Eric Swalwell? You’re telling me that a dude in Congress who sits on committees and has seniorities sending out Whack-a-mole videos of himself, for lack of a better way to put it, to all these women and that no one knew or everyone knew and everyone kept quiet because they needed him in his seat. You can’t tell me the media didn’t know about it. This is the only time the media has no ambition. They love breaking stories if they think it’s about Republicans and they’ll give themselves awards. But, oh my gosh, it’s about a Democrat? Shh. Look at Ronan Farrow. Where did his career go? Nobody knows. See what I’m saying? They protect their own. Folks who make the program possible, it is the good people over at Burn a Gun. And I’ve told you a ton of times that I have no problem carrying, I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. But I also realize, too, that sometimes you are barred from exercising your Second Amendment rights due to municipal restrictions or private property or what have you. So as a result, you need to be smart and diversify what you use to defend yourself. And this is where a burner gun can come in. Now, they have different models, but I need you to disregard all of that just to hear about the CL. Because the CL is the one that actually makes the most sense for this purpose. It stands for compact launcher. It’s roughly the size of an iPhone. But here’s the thing. When you are carrying a taser or a stun gun, you got maybe one or two rounds. The Berna CL shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And it has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge and it carries the whole cartridge. So that’s a big difference in terms of opportunity to get to safety for sure. Made right here in the U.S. of A. And it’s an accessible option if you are one. Maybe you’re a college kid, you know, and you’re living away from home and you’re not old enough to carry it, but you’ve got to walk to your dorm, et cetera. Or, you know, maybe you work at a hospital or something, whatever. It doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs because it’s not a gun. You can also, you don’t have any background checks. There’s no additional fees. You order it online and have it sent right to your front porch. Visit Burna.com slash Dana. Get your Burna gun today. That’s B-U-R-N-A, Burna.com slash Dana.

SPEAKER 07 :
You guys are very familiar with our good friend Sarah Gonzalez. She’s host of Sarah Gonzalez Unfiltered as well, SarahGonzalez.com. She joins us now. So Sarah, first of all, it’s so good to see you, my friend. I know.
SPEAKER 11 :
It’s so good to see you. Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER 07 :
Of course. I had to ask you about this because I saw this on your ex account. Did they start changing the wording on the ads? What’s up with that?
SPEAKER 11 :
They did, in fact, Dana, which is very curious if they’re doing nothing wrong, right? If everything is on the up and up, I don’t know why you would quietly change the wording. So when I originally went to the website where people can buy tickets to go to this ticketed event, I pulled the screenshot. I put it up there. As you pointed out, it said Muslim only several different places. And then once I posted this and it started gaining traction and the Daily Mail started reporting on it, all of a sudden, when you go back to the website where you find the screenshot, it now says something like modest dress only. Only instead of Muslim only. So they’ve just exchanged Muslim only to modest dress only. And then they throw in something about burkinis, modest dress required. Make sure to bring your burkini. And that’s how they have decided to to change it. Just a just a quiet little revision, even though, hey, nothing wrong with a Muslim only event. Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. And there’s that. And Juan has in the simulcast the two different ads. Clearly, there are fewer bullet points in the one that’s on House Left. You can see because, you know, they they had it in there twice. Now that that’s some typo to say Muslim only. Now, I read a piece from The New York Post about. And they said they had reached out to, I guess, I don’t know if she’s like their spokesperson or she’s with the group, but she said, oh, you know, we didn’t intend. It was an accident to say Muslim only twice in one ad and then on the website, which I think it still says Muslims only on the website. But how is that an accident? That seems pretty on purpose.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I would also say it’s very hard to defend that it was an accident if you go back to prior events, because you’ll notice on this flyer, this is actually the third Muslims-only event at this epic indoor water park, which is the most terrifying thing to me, that this has happened two other times and nobody has seen anything about it. So on the prior years, they’ve listed Muslim-only on those as well. So you have to wonder how this becomes an accident, just an oopsies, When they have listed on prior years Muslim-only event, it’s almost as if they’ve come here with great intentions to not assimilate and to take over. But hey, that’s just a crazy conspiracy theory, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it’s so crazy. We’re talking with our friend Sarah Gonzalez. Crazy, but also… Can you imagine, Sarah, say that you decided to rent out a water park and similarly, you know, say Christians only repeatedly and all of your advertising and on your website. I’m very curious as to what that community that’s hosting this event, what their response would be to that.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, exactly right. Because we’re told we’re beaten over the head and told that we are supposed to be inclusive. Inclusivity is the end all be all. We’re supposed to love and, you know, kumbaya and all of this other garbage. We are never allowed to tell everyone that we are proud Christians. or else, and now all of a sudden the shoe is on the other foot and I’m called an Islamophobic because I dared post their own flyer online, I guess. It is really interesting to see. And by the way, Dana, I would just like to also add to that point, Not only would we get blasted if we ever had a Christians only event because you’re never allowed to be proud to be you’re never allowed to be proud to be Christian. But on top of that, you’ll notice a lot of the people who are like, well, they’re allowed to rent it out privately and they’re allowed to have their own event. Similarly to if a church rented it out. Well, a church is renting it out and they’re saying this is our event. We’re sponsoring it. But please bring your friends because we want to evangelize. We want to get the word out. We want more people. The fact that the Muslims are the ones who are doing the excluding I think speaks volumes about what they really intend to do.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think that’s a great point because people, they think that it’s a workaround that, oh, well, we can, but they’re renting it out. But you can’t do that if it is a publicly owned property and it’s owned by the city, i.e. by taxpayers. And so it doesn’t matter if you can, if you rent it out for an hour or rent it out for the day. My understanding of the law is that public accommodation, you can’t then use that to the exclusion of any other groups in the area because of that public nature. Are you aware of any lawsuits being filed or had been filed or complaints?
SPEAKER 11 :
So I will tell you this. I am in communication with the attorney general’s office. I am urging them to file a suit against them. I also, my state representative, Mitch Little, a Texas state representative, he is a fantastic, phenomenal lawyer. He says he believes that the attorney general should, you know… issue an investigation that leads to a lawsuit. So I do know that there are people that are looking in it in high places, and certainly they need to act on this because here in the state of Texas, the First Amendment has been used and abused against us for a very long time. Our love of the First Amendment is what is currently being used to weaponized against us. And that’s why we see this invasion that we see here in the state of Texas. So I hope that law enforcement acts on this.
SPEAKER 07 :
I hope they do, too, because I mean, that is that is it’s discriminatory, that language. And that’s really what everybody’s pointing out. I mean, if they had not included that language at all, if they just said, hey, we’re celebrating at the water park and they had not had that language plastered all over their advertising and their website, there wouldn’t be anything that anyone could object to. So it’s like they create the problem for themselves and then they act like they’re the victims of the problem that they created themselves. But they accuse everyone else of being the problem.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right. Yeah, no, exactly right. Well, it’s been funny to watch this, you know, especially with the left. It’s they always do this thing where they’re like, that’s not happening. That’s you’re just a crazy conspiracy theorist. And then they’re like, OK, maybe it’s happening. But let me tell you why it’s a good thing that it’s happening. This is typically their M.O. And that’s what I’ve seen with this, because once they quietly changed it, I was accused of lying. I was just a lying bee and I photoshopped it and I faked it for attention because I’m just a grifter. And then once I finally provided proof, actually, this is from her own website. She changed it. Here are the screenshots. Here are the receipts. They’re like, well, why are you such a racist? Why are you such a bigot? Why aren’t they allowed to have their own event? And so they just keep changing the goalposts because they don’t want to admit that this is a real problem and that it was done intentionally to exclude every other religion. Here in the state of Texas and here in this country, you’re not allowed to do that. And, you know, with those quiet revisions, I think is, to me, an admission of guilt.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, it is. And the fact that they they the fact they the omissions of it, the fact that they said, oh, well, it was unintentional, which no one really believes that. But they can’t, you know, again, the public accommodation, they would be and they’ve done it already in the state of Texas before they’ve they’ve done this. I mean, they’ve especially in Irving, Texas, which, you know, is kind of a hotbed of a lot of this.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because that was the city where they were trying to establish a real law. And that’s also the city where the when we moved here in 2013, that was about the time that they had apprehended one of the fathers that had committed an honor killing. He killed. And, you know, the story is two sweet teenage daughters because they had gotten too westernized. I wanted to ask you, because the people that are involved in this, it’s the East Plano Islamic Center, Epic, not to be confused, because I think the water park is also named Epic. But then this event is epic EID. So this, from my understanding, Sarah, is the same group that is responsible for that giant city planning thing where there’s a lot of questions as to where that was also going to be, you know, exclude anyone who isn’t Muslim. So there’s they’re really busy with a lot of this very confusing and very discriminatory outreach.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. And I would tell you this once again, here in the state of Texas, I think that they prey on these red states who are typically asleep at the wheel because they know that here in the state of Texas, we love the First Amendment. We love freedom of religion. Right. We’re all about it. And so they know that they want to weaponize that against us. However. It’s very interesting because when you go to a Muslim majority country, you don’t see the same preferential treatment. You don’t see the Muslim majority countries being like, yeah, sure, Christians can have a Christian only water park event. It’s totally fine. No, Christians are getting beheaded in Muslim majority countries. So it’s just very fascinating that they want to weaponize our freedoms and our freedom of religion and how we were founded against us in order to come in to build these Sharia law compliant cities. all-inclusive cities to exclude Americans and to exclude Christians. They’re just using our freedoms and our constitution to weaponize against us so that they can take over. I hope that people take this seriously because it really is happening before our very eyes. And eventually we’re going to get to a point of no return, I feel.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think you’re exactly right with this. We’re going to watch this and see what the AG, what AG can Paxton does and also rep little, see what can come out of this. Because You know, like you said, they’ve done this three years in a row and the other two years also like this one. They use the same just, you know, exclusionary language, which if this was anybody else, they would have a meet you at ACLU bringing a lawsuit like that.

The White House correspondent’s dinner attempted assassin. A D.C. federal judge yesterday apologized to the guy. for trying to not just shoot the president of the United States, but federal agents and members of the cabinet. Who else? Who else am I missing? A lot of them. There were pregnant women crawling all around the floor trying to flee. They were terrified. U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqi. Sounds Canadian. told the wannabe assassin that he was so sorry that the assassin had been held under suicide watch, even though a mental health exam discovered that or found that he did not pose a threat to harm himself per Politico. So sorry that you didn’t get the type of food that you wanted. So sorry that you were, quote, being treated differently than anyone I’ve ever observed. Whatever you’ve been through, the judge said, and I’m quoting him verbatim, whatever you’ve been through, I apologize for the prior week. Wow. So, huh. Being treated differently. You know probably why he was being treated differently, the assassin, than other people who were perhaps in the jail. Would you like to know why? Maybe perhaps the reason that the wannabe assassin was treated differently is because he’s a wannabe assassin! Are you kidding me? He tried killing federal agents. He tried killing the President of the United States of America. And we’re apologizing to him. We don’t apologize to wannabe killers. This guy better be thanking the good Lord above that no one made a mess for the medic or made it interesting for the morgue on his behalf. He better be very grateful for that. I mean, we’re supposed to apologize. He shot an agent in the chest. He was loaded with three different firearms. that he was in a legal possession of, because I know that’s a big thing for the left. Didn’t he have a knife, too? He had something else. And why is he being apologized to? Look, this is this restorative justice nonsense. I think this judge ought to be, I’m not going to say, but in my mind, it’s probably worse than you’re imagining. These judges are a blight on the Western jurisprudence of this great republic. They really are judges like this. We’re going to apologize to the criminal because he did something heinous. We’re apologizing to the guy. Oh, I’m so sorry that this isn’t like the Ritz. What did you think was going to happen when you decided to draw down and charge into an event that the president, vice president cabinet and federal agents were at. What did you think was going to happen when you did that, that you were just going to get like a backpack and a, you know, like a free vacation to beautiful Puerto Rico where you were going to, you could go and, and have a pina colada. What did you think was going to happen? That’s some entitlement. Sorry that you’ve been held under, so I’m not sorry. I’m only sorry that he’s still living. I’m only sorry that One of the agents didn’t get a round off on him, at least. I’m only sorry that this guy decided to be incredibly stupid and volunteer himself to be human Swiss cheese. I’m only sorry that one of the agents that he ran by missed him four times. I’m only sorry because of that. That’s all. For nothing else. He’s owed no apologies. This is the idiocy in our judicial system right now. Case in point. By the way, you did have pregnant women that were crawling on the ground there. Are they owed any apologies? McDonald’s is eliminating self-serve soda machines in the U.S. Now, this is what they’re saying. They’re saying it’s due to changing consumer habits. No, guys. We know this is not because of changing consumer habits. If you had to guess, what would you think? They said that they’re going to eliminate all the self-serve soda stations across the nation by 2032. Oh, they’re putting soda behind the counter. Look at that. They’re going to go nationwide without self-serve soda. They said that the shift reflects a broader trend across the fast food industry where companies are prioritizing speed, efficiency, digital ordering, and not having all their stuff stolen. And their machines made disgusting by people who scratch their ass and then decide to go and get themselves a soda at the soda station that’s out there with the unwashed masses. No. But in my mind, that would be more accurate than the slot that they turned out. I mean, for instance, Florida police say a Taco Bell employee shot at customers for putting soda into water cups. We literally had that as our Florida man story the other day. They said they’re ushering in a new era of beverages. Or maybe it’s because humans have devolved to a point where we are so stupid we can’t even get our own sodies anymore because we’re ridiculous. That’s why. And then you wonder, why all the talk about aliens and we don’t see any of them? I wouldn’t want anything to do with this either if I was an alien. I’d be like, bah, Matt. It’s God forsaken rock. It’s because we are devolving. Idiocracy was a prophecy. All you’re going to have is Brondo in the future. That’s it. It is what plants crave though, Cain. It’s got the electrolytes you need. They don’t even say you need it. It just says it’s got electrolytes. That’s one example. Oh, but wait, there’s more. Oh, yes. I got more for you. So in Chicago, we got this audio, I believe. This is the Chicago councilman. This is cut 14. Let me just set it up for you. He’s mad at the Walgreens. What did the Walgreens do? The Walgreens, they decided to, they closed because they’ve had too many people shoplifting. It’s so bad, they couldn’t even stay open. So this alderman, William Hall, This is his solution. Listen.

Walgreens should be charged with first-degree corporate abandonment. It should be a crime the way they’re treating our elders.
SPEAKER 07 :
It should be a crime the way they’re treating our families. As opposed to it should be a crime for stealing from Walgreens? Yes. Thank you. That is a crime. It’s a crime to steal from Walgreens. It’s a crime to allow your children to run roughshod over the neighborhood and micro loot stores. That’s what we’re calling theft now. That’s the crime. I mean, this guy, Walgreens should be charged with first degree corporate abandonment. That’s not even a law, you jack wagon. Not our kids for stealing all the damn time. But Walgreens for closing because our kids are stealing all the damn time. There’s no accountability there. Dude, you need to get your beans snipped. And so you don’t procreate anymore. Because God help the universe if this man passes on this idiocy to the next generation. I’m saying here. Now you see, you see it. Okay. So a couple of things we got the, um, I do have more though. The Met Gala, because all the rich people are mad. The rich leftists are mad because Jeff Bezos, who is a billionaire there, the leftist billionaires are mad at the billionaire. Let me rephrase that. The leftist nutbag billionaires are mad at the billionaire who is not a leftist nutbag like they are. And they’re trying to say that the Met Gala was a disaster. We don’t care because we don’t do any of that. But there’s something that I feel like, you know, they said it was gauche and that it was tacky. Have you seen the Met Gala before? The Met Gala saying something is tacky is like, I don’t know, a whorehouse madam questioning the morals of someone who starts an OnlyFans account. You know, it just doesn’t make any sense to me. Heidi Klum dresses a literal that. That’s supposed to be a statue. That’s the most terrible. You know what, if actually if one of the greats had sculpted those eyes on that, I mean, it’s an amazing costume, but it’s crazy. And then Katy Perry dressed with a mirror over her face, which makes sense because she’s Justin Trudeau’s girlfriend. And it makes sense that his perfect version of a girlfriend is just a mirror over the face. Makes all the sense in the world, doesn’t it? They always have a theme for these things. And I can’t remember what the theme was for this one because nobody really sticks to it. They do their own ridiculous interpretation. Apparently, Cardi B dressed like a colon. Like literally a body colon. Yeah. So it was about like the human body and form. And that’s the Sam Smith guy who is just a freak. I don’t know. I mean, I don’t even know some of this. That’s what’s her face. Sabrina Carr. They they so they got mad because they said it was a bunch of there’s Cardi B with her colon costume. It literally she’s with Tom Ford. It literally looks like a like a tumor. She’s wearing a dress of tumors. It’s terrifying. That’s a terrifying costume. I could have gone without the like bulbous, you know, sort of dark tide contagion that she has there on her costume. So the and Beyonce, of course, entirely in feathers. So it’s supposed to be a fundraiser. So why are the progressive billionaires mad at the other billionaire? It’s a fundraiser. You absolute jack wagons. You’re supposed to be raising money. But they want it to be like a popularity contest. So they’re mad because they say Lauren Sanchez is tacky. Why is Lauren Sanchez tacky? Because she’s got boobs. That’s it. That’s the whole reason why they don’t like Sidney Sweeney. Because she’s got boobs. That’s it. Apparently it’s tacky. You’re supposed to be as flat chested as a 12 year old boy. It’s tacky, they said. I don’t think it’s tacky at all. I think if you got it. then you dress for it. I don’t really care. But they’re billionaires and they’re not crazy. And so the left is like, oh, it’s the worst ever. It’s tacky. It’s you. It is you. The Met Gala is a reflection of you. You want to talk about what is gauche? Let’s talk about the nouveau riche assortment of skittles that were on this red carpet and whatever contraption they decided to call a costume for the Met Gala. I mean, it’s a celebration of everything that is tacky. It’s tacky to even do it. It’s tacky to be, I’m going to the gala. It’s $100,000 for a ticket, $350,000 for a table. I’m going to the gala where we make sure that everybody knows how much we paid, you know, for charity. Going to the gala so everyone knows. They virtue signal off of this, which is the height of tackiness if you want to have a discussion about what is or is not tacky. So I know you’re getting that one video ready, Juan. But I don’t think that we can do that. Although my issue was with the description. Not so much the individual, but also isn’t every intersection, an intersectional box checked with this video? I have to check with our production team, right? That was kind of the thing that got me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s go. Let’s go.
SPEAKER 07 :
Let’s do it. Let’s do it. Cause it’s the intersectional boxes that we’re talking about. Okay. So this didn’t, what was the tweet for this? Or didn’t they, did they have a, didn’t they have a, like a voiceover for this?
SPEAKER 03 :
Like, Oh, did they have a voiceover? No, no, no.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, okay. So this is how it was presented. And I have no issue. My issue is the description, the way that they put it out there. It said Aaron Rose Phillip arriving at the Met Gala. That was the video that won head up. They said that Aaron Rose Phillip is the first black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Okay, so we’re all like, that’s a dude? That’s a dude, right? If it’s a transgender woman, that lady’s got a wiener, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, that guy does.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, okay, so that’s a dude. I’m very confused. You see how we’re confused about the language. First… They said, first black transgender woman with a quadriplegic cerebral palsy signed to a major agency. Breaking barriers with every step is the literal verbatim description. They use the word breaking barriers with every step. What else do we have? I mean, every box is checked. They check race. They check the transgender. I mean, everything. Check, check, check. You cannot out intersectional this individual. Did they get a special award for that? So that’s a dude in… That’s a dude, right? Yes. I mean, it’s hard to see the neck because of the way he’s sitting with his head down. That’s a lot of boxes to check with every step, they said. A lot of boxes. Yeah. So… And they’re like, that’s what representation looks like. Or mental illness. Or that as well. And so… They’re all mad because this, by the way, Jeff Bezos, the reason he was involved is because he’s paid for it. I guess they can’t get anybody to give them any money anymore. So he paid for it and his wife was on the chair. Guess what? When you get Jeff Bezos’s money, Mrs. Bezos gets to chair the event. And sorry, look, people can sit here and go after all she wants to. I always think that she dresses nice and I’m not going to hear anything about it. You know, she is a, how old is she? She’s like almost 60. She’s in her late 50s, I think. She looks pretty damn good for being in her late 50s. I don’t care what everybody needs to stop getting to get out of everybody else’s business. She looks great. She can do whatever she wants to because she’s got blank you money. She can do whatever she wants to do. You know, she’s a pilot. She’s a helicopter pilot. So as everybody sits here and talks about her, like she’s arm candy and all this stuff, let’s just like revisit the fact that she was a successful business woman in her own right before she ever met Jeff Bezos. And she’s a damn pilot. So I want to hear it. I don’t care if she’s on there. I don’t care how much money he paid. That’s what, when you get Bezos’s money, you get Mrs. Bezos too. So you take it, you be grateful. You say, thank you. You shut up. End of story. God bless America. And we can’t do it without our partners. Like the folks at Noble Gold. It’s nobler than all the other ones. I don’t know if you’re aware of that, but they are. No, look, Noble Gold, you’ve seen what happens with any kind of geopolitical tensions, any kind of inflation fears, any kind of instability. Everybody rushes. to precious metals as a safe haven.

SPEAKER 05 :
Here’s a thought that shouldn’t be controversial. You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild. But somehow we’ve turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it’s not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn’t just stay in one lane, it spreads. So even if you think this isn’t your issue, give it a minute. You don’t have to agree with people. You just have to decide you’re not okay with hate. That’s it. The Blue Square is a simple way to say that out loud. Go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, or don’t, but at least don’t pretend this isn’t happening.
SPEAKER 07 :
I had no idea this was coming. We got notification because they do this really awesome awards thing every year. It’s called the MRC Bulldog Award. And they have different categories, whether it’s like podcast or radio or investigative work or columnist. And they were very kind to extend to me the radio, the Outstanding Radio Show Host Award, which was very nice. And we, oh my goodness, and we got it here. Thank you very much. Thank you. The phantom horns that come out of the side. Joining us right now, our very dear friend, David Bozell, who is the president of MRC. And he’s there in D.C. Good to see you, my friend. And thank you.
SPEAKER 15 :
Good to see you, Mrs. Lash. Congratulations. How’s that teardrop?
SPEAKER 07 :
I love it. I mean, I love this. I’m going to put it in a chain and wear it around my neck. I think that’s what the kids do these days, right? I’m just going to wear it all the time. Thank you for this, though. You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 15 :
I am very grateful for everything that you all do. You’re limitless principally. You’ve got a terrific program. You’ve risen above these podcast wars, but then you’ve taken— shots appropriately with receipts. And look, I think the podcast wars that have been going on within the right are fairly disgusting on both sides. It’s so personal, but you don’t get personal. And that’s such an important part of the whole conversation. You know, we can disagree without being disagreeable. And so many of our cousins in this space have just gotten nasty against each other. And it’s no wonder why their ratings are down. But you’re excelling across the board, and we wanted to recognize that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, thank you so much. And thank you for this gorgeous award. I appreciate that. Thank you. And thank you all for everything that you do as well over at Newsbusters and MRC. Thank you. I mean, we’ve got to protect you guys at all costs because I’m not even kidding you. That’s when we get so much of our clips. And also, that’s where we see some of the crazy stuff that we’ve been seeing. Like, you had a great piece out. I’m going to pull this up. This was over at Newsbusters, and this was yesterday afternoon. Six in ten voters think that it’s the negative news media coverage of POTUS that inspired the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. I mean, I get it. It seems accurate to me.
SPEAKER 15 :
Terrific question by Rasmussen. In the crosstabs, did you see the Hispanics number? The Hispanic number was 76% of Hispanics. So like every political operation in the country is trying to ensure that they get the Hispanic vote. 76% of Hispanics think it was at least somewhat likely. that the president’s attempted assassin was motivated by the press. Now, interestingly enough, just as soon as the story started to trickle out on Saturday night or that past Saturday after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was abruptly canceled because of this, everybody in the liberal elitist media, all these guys started circling the wagons around Kimmel. Because Kimball had aired that joke a couple days prior about Melania and being an expectant widow. Now, did I think that this guy saw the Kimball clip, you know, in route, in the train, in route to do what he did? Probably not. There’s probably no way of proving that one way or the other. But the 95% plus negative coverage of this man, this administration, and anyone associated with it, anyone on the right, morning, noon, night, and late night, It is across the board on your broadcast channel dial of how negative these guys are. It should be no surprise. It is going to encourage psychopaths to take a pot shot. And they’ve encouraged three of them now. But since that White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the press has been adamant. There’s just nothing to prove or suggest that our coverage could have possibly motivated anyone to take a pot shot. This poll suggests otherwise. This poll suggests that 60% of the country believes that the media’s intensely negative coverage is at least somewhat likely to blame for motivating this guy to take a pot shot at the president.
SPEAKER 07 :
And it’s what’s crazy is I don’t know their motivation in presenting information that way and going after the president the way they do. To me, it’s not designed to persuade anyone. It’s just like they’re trying to get their digs in. And that’s why we did it real quick.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s why we did it. That’s why we’ve done the Bulldog Awards. Dana, because, I mean, it’s kind of like our answer to the Pulitzers. Yeah. But look, the Washington Post got the Pulitzer, the most prized Pulitzer of the year is the Pulitzer Award for Public Service, and it was all criticizing the doge cuts. It was all criticizing the administration’s efforts to run, I don’t know, a more efficient government. President Trump was elected by 77 million-plus Americans to trim the size of government in an era where we have bloated debt, bloated spending. He had a mandate to do so, wins every single swing state, and the Washington Post wins a Pulitzer Prize suggesting that it was just unconscionable that any red penny be cut from these bloated government programs. So that’s why we’ve done the Bulldog Awards, to highlight alternative reporting.
SPEAKER 07 :
And we’re so grateful that you do it because that’s how a lot of people are able to find some of these investigative reporters in the series that they do. and the things that they’re uncovering is because you’re putting a spotlight on it. We’re talking with our very good friend David Bozell, president of Media Research Center, because you were talking about the Dahosh cuts, which I can’t believe that they were mad that we were cutting government waste. I’ve noticed too, and I know that you all had something about this, there wasn’t any coverage or next to no coverage from any of the major networks on all of the fraud, not just with the USAID, but But in Minnesota, for instance, you know, I always joke about the early layering center, but it’s way more than that. And they’re looking at hospice organizations, Medicaid, everything. And now Ohio, they had a big story. What have you discovered? Because you would think that that would be, I mean, that’s what you would get an award for, that kind of investment, but they won’t touch it.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s crickets. I mean, CBS touched L.A. I’ll give them credit for that. They did a nice expose on L.A. after Dr. Oz had done his videos coming out of L.A., after Nick Shirley had gone in and did his thing in L.A. And Nick Shirley’s been… I mean, we’re probably going to have to give a bulldog a word to Nick Shirley next year. Nick Shirley’s done Yeoman’s work in Minnesota and Los Angeles, and I understand he’s in Cuba now doing the same thing. He’s doing what… Press typically dugs. We mentioned the Washington Post earlier. We gave an award to Nick Menach, who’s done all sorts of awesome reporting on Loudoun County school board issues, on the fact that this new governor won’t cooperate with ICE, on the guy who killed a woman at the bus stop. All sorts of crime, all sorts of stuff that the Attorney General, Steve Toscano, will not prosecute. How about the Washington Post just go across the river into Virginia, okay? Instead of writing this op-ed just for the sole purpose of getting a Pulitzer Prize about the dangers of cutting some government, go across the river and investigate in Virginia the rampant crime in Fairfax County, like Nick Minock did for WJLA and Local Channel 7. But in terms of all the fraud in all those different localities, crickets from the national news media because they just cannot admit that they’ve been basically had by the likes of Tim Walz and Congresswoman Omar and Governor Newsom. They’ve been ripping us off. And God forbid Donald Trump does something about it. Of course, the Washington Post is going to do an op-ed against Donald Trump for trying to do something about it and preventing us from being ripped off. So that’s just the news reality of the moment that we live in. near 100% negativity against the president and conservatism and just a total whitewashing of anything negative in terms of liberal government and poorly run cities and states.
SPEAKER 07 :
And the way that they’ve gone after the debate over gerrymandering. Because in so many, like in Texas, you know, looking at some of these other states, I mean, we were fixing maps that the DOJ said our maps were gerrymandered. We need to un-gerrymander them, which is what we did. Florida did the same thing. I mean, when you see how some of these districts are drawn, it’s ridiculous. But the way that the media talks about it, David, I know you, because you’ve written about this as well over at Newsbusters, is that, oh my gosh, the Republicans are making it to where nobody but white people can vote. No one’s going to be able to, and you have to be a white male. And then the women, you’re just out of luck. You’re going to have to show like your blood type and all your, that That’s not even accurate. The way that they were going about this, that’s malpractice.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it is malpractice. I mean, the press has never cared about gerrymandering when Illinois did it. Yes. They never cared gerrymandering when the entire Northeast Corridor did it, Massachusetts, Vermont. I mean, it’s all blue. They didn’t care about gerrymandering when New Mexico did it. Yeah. I mean, Donald Trump gets, what, 47 percent of the vote in New Mexico. There’s no representation there. There’s no representation in Northeast. There’s next to no representation in Illinois. God bless Congresswoman Mary Miller for being one of the low forces in Illinois. I don’t know how she does it. But that is the hypocrisy, right? And so, look, I think they’re going to lose this Virginia case. Yeah. I think when all this dust settles, I think Republicans are gonna enjoy maybe a half a dozen to eight, plus eight in terms of the midterms. So Donald Trump’s actually gonna end up winning this fight. And again, this is because I know how proud he is He kind of marvels publicly about how could he possibly have won with near 95% negative coverage from the press. And here he is coming up in the midterms, and Republicans, led by the Trump administration, are probably going to win these redistricting wars despite all of the supposed negativity. And some guys, some people in our Republican conservative construct buy into it, too. I mean, I saw Arlie Fischer the other day. Well, we should never have done Texas. Okay, buddy, I guess we shouldn’t fight at all. And so our side buys into this narrative sometimes that the press feeds them, and it’s unnecessary. I have a… Maybe it’s my lineage, but I have a weird obsession with seeing the conservative ecosystem be the mainstream. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be the mainstream. None whatsoever. And it’s about time we start acting like it. We can control the narrative just as much as these guys do.
SPEAKER 07 :
Amen to that. And that’s why we’re so glad that you do what you do over at Media Research Center and at Newsbusters. David Boesel, fighting the fight because you know it’s only going to get hotter as midterms get closer. And I know we’d love to have you back. And thank you again so much for all you do to encourage conservative journalists, conservative talk radio hosts and everyone else because we’re really grateful for it. So thank you, Mike.
SPEAKER 06 :
Appreciate it.
SPEAKER 07 :
We’ll talk again soon. God bless.
SPEAKER 06 :
You too.
SPEAKER 07 :
As we roll, our partners that help bring you the program. It’s our friends over at Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative cell phone service that’s out there. They also want to save you money. You know how I was talking about the school board races? So in our area, Patriot Mobile was actually able to help mobilize those parents that were fighting back against the school district that were really wanting to just pump DEI and CRT into the minds of our kids. And it was a giant battle, too. And the parents were so outfunded. I can’t even believe how expensive all of this was. They were so outfunded and they were out organized. But then Patriot Mobile came in and helped help them by help supporting them financially with this with this battle. And this is what your money actually goes to support. If you look at all of the other cell phone companies out there, they all have packs and they all fund the things that you vote against every single time you’re at the ballot box. And that’s not look, you don’t want to have to sit here and work doubly hard to overcome what your cell phone money is paying for. Right. So Patriot Mobile, not only are they the only Christian conservative entity out there, but they’re going to save you money with their plans that they have tailored for every business or family of any size. It’s also super easy to switch. You can get activated in minutes. They got unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming. I’ve used this service all over the world for over 10 years and I’ve never had an issue. Also, if you’re in a contract, they can buy you out. They have a whole program for that. You get prioritized premium nationwide coverage without compromising your values or having your money weaponized. and be put to work against you. Take a stand. Make the switch. PatriotMobile.com slash Dana or call 972-PATRIOT and use code Dana to get that free month of service. PatriotMobile.com slash Dana, code Dana or call 972-PATRIOT.
SPEAKER 05 :
Here’s a thought that shouldn’t be controversial. You can think someone is completely wrong and still not hate them. I know, wild. But somehow we’ve turned disagreement into a personality and hate into something people are way too comfortable with. And it’s not just happening in one place. Hate is rising across communities in different ways and Jewish communities are getting hit especially hard right now. And hate doesn’t just stay in one lane, it spreads.

The Blue Square is a simple way to say that out loud. Go to bluesquarealliance.org, get a pin, share it, or don’t, but at least don’t pretend this isn’t happening.
SPEAKER 03 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 07 :
So apparently there is a McDonald’s in Seattle that is so dangerous. They call it not McDonald’s, but McStabbies. I’m not even kidding. And customers are not allowed to go. They actually cannot allow customers to go inside because the mayhem is daily and constant. So, for instance, one of the latest scenes, two men were standing outside the street, in the street, outside of McStabby’s, around 10 p.m., when a frail 77-year-old man walked towards them. The two men approached the victim. One struck him in the head, and then they started beating the snot out of him and then calmly walked away. The guy was hospitalized for over a week. He had a broken knee, broken arm, cut above his eye. He had to get stitches. And they arrested a guy, 29-year-old Ahmed Abdulli Osman. Sounds Canadian. Sure. While he was on the phone outside of McDonald’s. So, McStabbies. Yeah, sorry. At McStabbies. Rudy Giuliani, America’s mayor, out of the coma and apparently talking and alert after a hospital scare. He apparently had, like, really bad pneumonia. Yeah. And was hospitalized for it, but he’s on the rebound, so that’s good. SEC settles with Elon Musk over a Twitter dispute. They need to restore Kane’s ex-account, for the love of all things holy. So the Securities and Exchange Commission reached a settlement with Musk over the delayed disclosure of his stake in Twitter, blah, blah, blah. Also, oh, a hantavirus. We’re going to have to talk about this. This is a whole other topic on a cruise ship. Siggins people, stay with us. All right, folks. So I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world’s number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It’s the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don’t have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season. I am done fighting with it. I’m done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I’m done with the tangles. I’m done with the leaks. I’m done with all of it. It’s a waste of money. It’s enraging. So that’s why the pocket hose ballistic, that’s why you need to have this thing because it’s built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It’s made, it’s reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer. Now you don’t know what that is, but you do know what it’s been used in before, bulletproof vests. So that means my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It’s not going to mess up your garden. It’s not going to like tie a knot around you. If you’re tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight. It’s super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket pivot. So no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it’s gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It’s so simple. It’s smart. You’re done. For a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you’re going to get that free. You see it right here. 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430. That’s Dana to 64000 for your two free gifts with purchase. Message and data rates may apply. And make sure you find the newsletter sub stack chapter and verse. I don’t know why I said it like that. I just did. I, you know what it was? Cause I had just like a tiny amount of sugar. I’m Beavis-ing out, man. I’m going to turn into Cornholio in like five seconds. Or like Doodle Bob. Me hoi, me hoi. That’s what’s going to happen. I can’t have sugar because I just go kind of crazy. So welcome back. And tomorrow we’ll be halfway through the week. I know. You’re so excited about that. All right. I’ve got a couple other things to get with. I just realized when I put this on Instagram that not everybody knew who these people were. Kid Cudi and M.I.A.? ? I don’t care. I’ll say his name however the hell I want. All I know is wasn’t he in a dress and wasn’t he also friends with P. Diddy? And isn’t it true that he kind of fell off because his 2013 album kind of like sucked backside and so now nobody likes him? It’s pretty accurate, right? Whereas M.I.A. is a very innovative performer. And she also has become a Christian, but she’s not performative the way Russell Brand is. And she’s also become very, very conservative. And her music is starting to reflect that. So she’s had this trajectory throughout her entire career. I’ve always been a fan of hers, even when I didn’t entirely agree with the stuff she was saying. So, you know, that’s that’s anyway, the long story short, a rapper kicked M.I.A. off of his tour because he didn’t like her Republican viewpoints. He said that she ranted. And I don’t think that that’s a rant. I think she said like one thing and the audience booed. And if she would have gotten up there and eviscerated the right, they would have celebrated her. And, you know, that’s true, Kane. They absolutely would have. So he fired her off of her off of the tour. So I don’t think she needs him. She’s, you know, I mean, that guy’s already like, why is she even on tour with him in the first place? And he washed up. Am I being mean? Maybe. But am I dishonest?
SPEAKER 03 :
No. Nope, not at all. You might be raw, but you’re not wrong.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s right. So, well, or just a little less polite.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 03 :
Not everything requires 100% politeness.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, not everything needs sugarcoating. That’s true. That’s true. So I just thought I had that up on Instagram and then people were like, who are these people? Yeah. No, I get it because there’s some artists where I’m like, if I had to name a Sabrina Carpenter song, I wouldn’t be able to. And in fact, my first thought when I first heard her name, I was like, is that one of those old Carpenters? Because that was like our parents’ jam, the Carpenters back in the day, wasn’t it?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, Karen Carpenter, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t even know their names. They were just the Carpenters.
SPEAKER 03 :
Was it a whole family of them? Oh, yeah. Very talented music.
SPEAKER 07 :
That was a big thing in the 70s, wasn’t it?
SPEAKER 03 :
It certainly was.
SPEAKER 07 :
The families, they all made the music together. They did. And then they all had their shared drug addictions and abuse.
SPEAKER 03 :
And then some had TV shows, too.
SPEAKER 07 :
Like the Partridges?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Those people?
SPEAKER 03 :
I think the Osmonds. Didn’t they have one, too?
SPEAKER 07 :
The only people who didn’t were the Waltons, I think.
SPEAKER 03 :
What?
SPEAKER 07 :

Yeah, the Osmonds.

The Carpenters?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep. Oh, I’m sure there’s more.
SPEAKER 07 :
Don’t message us. We don’t want to know that badly.
SPEAKER 03 :
We’ll spend time thinking about it.
SPEAKER 07 :
I haven’t because it’s the 70s and it’s all sepia and weird harmonies and most of them were high, I think. And they all had mullets and they wore horrible fashion, just the worst fashion ever.
SPEAKER 03 :
It was a simpler time.
SPEAKER 07 :
It was a horrible time that’s coated in corduroy.
SPEAKER 03 :
What kind of?
SPEAKER 07 :
Corduroy and macrame and cigarettes. That’s all it was. That’s the 70s.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s not the reflection of the 70s I thought you’d have.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, that is absolutely it. Sepia, cigarettes, corduroy, and sadness. It’s the 70s.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m not going to say you’re wrong because I really don’t have an argument for anything you just said.
SPEAKER 07 :
yeah and the hip yeah the soft harmonies that’s it so that’s that was this and then the 80s is when it got really cool so anyway i don’t know i don’t know but uh hey i just thought that was kind of a i’ve never seen her live but she’s a great performer though so well that’s um we have also i don’t think i’m gonna have time to get into the rest of this stuff we may have to save some of it for tomorrow but I know we’ve the AI switch. Are you worried about the cars that are going to be made after 27? Because isn’t that now the law where they got to have this AI kill switch in it?

SPEAKER 03 :
All right, looks like Mayor Wilson, and by the way, I think, is Mayor, I forget where she is, Mayor, but this is her actual, she says CCTV cameras are hurting refugees. The cameras themselves are hurting refugees, and Juan, this is cut 15.
SPEAKER 04 :
This is legislation that will expand CCTV cameras that could potentially be taken control of by the Trump administration. And this is legislation that was opposed by immigrants rights groups, by civil liberties groups, and by the member of color caucus in the legislature. And I’ll quote from their letter.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s done, whatever she’s quoting. Because all they want is no accountability for these illegals, including the crimes they commit.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, no accountability. That’s mean. That’s so ignorant. It’s ignorant. But that does it for us today. We’ll be back with you tomorrow. Have a great night. God bless.
