I eat the Greek yogurt and then I went to this thing called Nunu’s, which I joke and say it’s no-no’s. It’s supposed to be no-no’s because it’s no-no’s for you. It tastes like horrible. It tastes like a tragedy. Whenever you have a chance to shrink the size and scope of government, shouldn’t you do that? Shouldn’t that be celebrated? Sometimes I think maybe we need like mental health checks on some of these lawmakers before they are fit to run again.
SPEAKER 17 :
The Dana Show with Dana Lash.
SPEAKER 02 :
Each community on Earth. If you take that away and try to distill us just down to white folks, We’ll be like Europe, an aging, slowly dying former empire. The Roman Empire didn’t survive because it didn’t have enough strength in its diversity. It suppressed its diversity and it died. If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you’re voting, y’all.
SPEAKER 16 :
Not only is she a racist, but she is an absolute bimbo, too. That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. It’s completely historically illiterate. And it’s embarrassing that she felt that that was an OK thing to say and then put it out online, ignoring the racial part of it. I think I’m I think I’m more offended by the stupidity of what she just said than I am the racism that is within it. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. That’s Joy Reid, who clearly Harvard is meaningless. That’s the kind of brain the brain trust that Harvard produces. You have her and then you have what’s his face? that pig kid, David Hogg. Those two are products of Harvard. Some of the dumbest people I’ve ever seen. So first, welcome back. If you’re joining us by listening terrestrially or if you’re watching the stream, Channel 347 Direct TV, the chat’s at Rumble. You can also find us at X and Facebook. So I love history. I am a major history buff. And one of my favorite things is reading about ancient empires and love reading about ancient rome and i watched yes i did watch the hillsdale thing the rise and fall of rome i’ve also been watching i actually watched a thing last night that was about the construction of roman roads and how all roads literally did lead to rome but more so to her point she’s saying that the the u.s isn’t diverse enough and that’s what is uh and that lack of diversity is what killed rome That is a historical nonsense. And here’s why. In fact, it was too. You can now listen to me. It was too much. I don’t mean that in the racial sense because it comes down with having a shared identity. This is one of the ways that America learned from Rome’s mistake and our founders learn from Rome’s mistake because at some point there was admittance of, I mean, every scene, everybody got Roman citizenship. Everybody had Roman citizenship. And I don’t know. I don’t know if people realize that, uh, the Roman emperor at the time, uh, Krakala was the one who he, you know, that’s the sacking happened on his watch. But every free person in the empire got citizenship. And previous emperors also did that. And at first it was looked at like it was Rome’s strength because they would conquer and then incorporate. And that was really different in those times. They didn’t just leave something conquered and they didn’t force them to adopt every single thing that they did within Rome. But they did incorporate it. They incorporated it namely so that they could say, OK, you’re a conquered emperor. You have to now give us X amount of foot soldiers. It’s one of the reasons why they had the biggest armies is because that was part of that incorporation. But there was never any diligence in in. creating that singular identity. Everyone talks about a Roman identity, but when we look in history, it was kind of all over the place. People wanted to consider themselves Roman, but there has to be a shared loyalty, a shared identity. And that was just one of the things. And that’s like one part of it that went into it is that there was citizenship given to every single person. The overspending was crazy. the amount of spending was just, even on Caesar’s time and before, was entirely irresponsible. And then you had a lot of instability because there was a lot of corruption. There was a lot of intrigue. And the other thing, too, was you were losing a lot of traditional values. And the Eastern Empire was already starting its rise. And then you had the barbarians and you had the goths and you had no not like the cure goths but like you know the visigoths you had the goths and then you had the the huns that were all coming in so there were a lot of things that factored into it but i think one of the biggest was this strain on or an absence a strain caused by the absence of a shared identity is one of the things that played into it And the idea of being a Roman and what that meant in being a member of that empire was diluted as a result of that. In the United States, it’s one of the things that our founders did differently. They didn’t make a shared identity on a race or a religion or anything else, but it was about that animating spirit of liberty. So if you want to be free, then we are kinsmen. And that’s how the founders set this up. And in the Roman Empire, they didn’t even do that. They’re just like, OK, you’re here. You get a Roman citizenship. You get a Roman citizenship. And the absence of those share a shared value led to an absence of cohesion. It led to instability. It led to a complete dearth of. cultural values the whole nine yards. And there was so much internal fighting as a result of that. Rome, by the time the Goths came in and sacked it, Rome had already sacked itself. That was just the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. So everything that she’s saying, it’s literally actually the opposite of that, that created the fall of Rome. Now, In the United States, this is where this communist, this cultural warfare comes in. You know, the critical race theory. Everybody says DEI. DEI is an offshoot of critical race theory, CRT, which is the Frankfurt School of Marxism, right? It is an absolute Marxist theory. And I wrote about this 15 years ago. When Andrew Breitbart was still alive and I was working with Andrew Breitbart, Derrick Bell, who was a prominent academic, and he was at Harvard. He was kind of a mentor to Barack Obama. And I remember at the time we had this video. Barack Obama hugging Derrick Bell. And I thought it was pretty significant. The media tried to bury it and act like it wasn’t a significant thing. But we’re like, there’s an introduction of a new tactic here. It’s critical race theory. It’s been exploding on college campuses since the 60s. And here’s how it’s affecting you now. All of this stuff that you see now with DEI and wokery all came from that. Every bit of it. It all came from CRT. And it started on American college campuses in the 60s. Derrick Bell was a huge proponent of it. And that gets into, that was a tactic to identify, isolate, and destroy those shared cultural values by turning everyone against each other based on So that’s where all that comes in. Oh, if you’re if you have two women, if one woman’s a black woman and a white woman, well, she has one more intersectional box to check than the white woman. So now she has more power. Oh, but if this chick is gay, then she may have they may equal out them. But if one of them’s trans, then you see what I mean? It’s like a constant one up. So instead of focusing on shared cultural values and that shared identity that’s based on liberty, you’re now weaponizing all of these other variables to destroy that. It’s an ingenious way to go after the thing that really did separate us from the Roman Empire was that singular shared identity. We had something around which we could rally and be loyal, and that was we are free to be free, and this is where you come to do it at. That’s why you can be from anywhere and you can be a kinsman. And freedom. And so that’s why what Joy Reid just said there is so incredibly embarrassing. I’m embarrassed for her. Can you imagine making a video and showing your ass like that with how stupid you are? I mean, there’s no excuse. She’s like a 50-something-year-old woman. There’s no excuse for you to have the money that you have, be on television and have the internet, and then not understand the basic concepts of history like this. I mean, that’s truly something. But that’s the thing. And you know what? When you are removing the recognition of that shared cultural value that is your identity, because when you think about, well, what does it mean to be an American? At its most just distilled core, what does it mean to be an American? Free. Freedom. I think that’s what ultimately everyone would come down to, yeah? Freedom. Freedom. So that is the American identity. Well, when you start weaponizing all of these other things around it and attacking it, destroying it, doing this, reinventing the Mao cultural revolution with going after and attacking our history like they did with our founders. Oh, our founders were imperfect. Thus, everything that they have done is imperfect. Well, that’s illogical on its face because all you got to do is read the Bible. I mean, David was imperfect. He came from one of the most imperfect lines in all of mandum. I mean, David, who sent Uriah to be killed so he could get Uriah’s wife. David. And from him came the Messiah. So that completely blunts that argument. But they don’t care. They want you to be separated from God so you don’t understand that. And they also want you to turn on your fellow man. and ignore that animating spirit of liberty so that we can destroy the social cohesion and obscure the identity of what it means to be American. Now, Rome did that to itself. Because they were allowing every Tom, Dick and Harry and giving everybody citizenship with just completely unfettered immigration, not even just immigration. It wasn’t people even coming to Rome. Rome would go elsewhere and they would conquer a land. Oh, you’re Romans now. Here’s your citizenship. You’re incorporated. The incorporation was smart, but everything that happened afterwards was not. So there’s the she doesn’t even understand. She she doesn’t even understand the warning cry of the fall of the Roman Empire and what that means or what it looks like. in current times because she’s just focused on the racial aspect of it. Immigration is a variable and that’s, and racists like her don’t understand that. And I’ll say it again. Immigration is a variable because the identity once again is about being free. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is. It doesn’t matter what your religion is. Do you want to be free or And we are founded on Christian values, but we’re singular in that we do not demand that you worship as we worship or do what we do in order to accept the perks of freedom, for the lack of a better way to put it. I mean, it’s just one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. I’m like, golly, has she ever read a book? I don’t know. But it’s just truly stunning to me. But I had to I had to talk about that. I had to talk about that. And the other part, too, is, you know, they were bringing in all of these the the Goths and all of that. It sounds funny to say it now because I immediately think of, you know, like a hot topic. So actually it’s emo. I immediately think like the cure or something. But they the way that they ended up managing it and the twilight of their empire just hastened that the the conditions that created the fall. They’d already sacked themselves. So it’s just a dumb, completely dumb thing from her. Now, a couple of things that I want to make sure we’re touching on. So we had the White House Correspondents Dinner. We didn’t go. Did you go? Or did you watch? I didn’t watch it. I felt like we used to watch it before. Or like we would pay attention, but eh. But apparently it was nobody watched it, nobody cared because POTUS wasn’t there and nobody from the administration attended. They had a club that launched That night, it’s a members only club that’s in Georgetown and you can pay a fee and you can hobnob with the administration. I don’t know how I feel about that. But that launched the same night as the White House Correspondents Dinner. I know the press secretary was there and there were other people that were there, but they they didn’t. I mean, did they even have a comedian host it? I don’t even think they did. So what was the point of it? They were patting themselves on the back. That’s all it was. They were just celebrating themselves, patting themselves on the back. That’s it. And that’s the White House Correspondents Dinner. Now, coming up, two things that we’re going to get into. Dims are ratcheting up incitement. J.B. Pritzker calls for disruption. Also, the latest with red state rhino hunting. You need to protect your title. I mean, if you haven’t yet, good heavens. I don’t know. I don’t know why. With our AI cyber era, you definitely want to make sure that you have your most valuable asset, like the most expensive thing that you own, protected. Because it is actually super easy. I’m not saying I tried it. But it is easy to swap someone’s title to swipe it. All it takes is a signature and people can criminals can form for they can forge your name. They can add a fake notary stamp and for a little tiny little bitty filing fee with the county. They can take your home’s title and you’re not even going to know what happened. That’s until you start getting collection calls and foreclosure notices. And then you have to hire a lawyer and spend thousands of dollars to prove that your home is in fact, yes, yours. And it’s easier with the cyber driven world. It’s happening more and more. You need to get Home Title Lock. In fact, you can get a title history report and a 14-day trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection using promo code Dana at hometitlelock.com. And what that means is that’s 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to any changes. And should fraud happen, they’ll spend up to a million dollars to fix it.

I didn’t even know this could happen. California is running out of license plate numbers. The license plate sequence that starts next year is kicking off. The one that began in 1980 began with 1-888-000. And now, oh, I’m not even reading all this. It’s nine UB. I’m not good. No, not even. Anyway, I didn’t even know you could run out of.

SPEAKER 16 :
Hollywood Film and Television Productions. Everyone’s saying it feels empty. Is it in a death spiral? Aw, filming in Los Angeles is at a historic low. Remember how they were talking about implementing more tax credits and they never did it and people were mad? Yeah, so they said that even in the back lots, there’s nobody there. Nobody even around some of the bigger ones. Hollywood is facing intense competition for production in Atlanta, New York. places that do tax credits elsewhere. A lot of people have been coming to Texas. It actually creates money. But man, these policies are not good for business. They said shoot days declined over 22%. That’s wild. Also, aren’t things being made differently? Things are being shot different. Production’s different now. It’s very different. Virginia Goffrey, one of Epstein’s most prominent abuse survivors, apparently dies by suicide. Now, there were a lot of questions surrounding this because she had said at one point, I’m never going to commit suicide, etc. But Lorraine noted over the weekend that she and her husband apparently split. He took the kids. And so she was like already going through it. And that might kind of, that’s sad. It’s very sad. Southwest Airlines. Oh my gosh. Why? What would you do if you were on this flight? A Southwest Airlines passenger, stripped naked, defecated on the seat as the plane landed. It was a flight to Chicago. It was a female passenger. They had to call the cops to Midway because this lady was going crazy. Yeah, you better burn, just burn the plane because it’s just no good at that point. They had to take it out of service for cleaning, hopefully with flames. That’s nasty. They said that, and then the last month they almost missed, almost hit a jet, a taxiing jet to sun glare, apparently. But they, man, they handled it. Can you imagine being on that plane though? I don’t know. I keep seeing these videos of people who are told to get off the plane because they’re being disruptive and then they fight and threaten to, you know, delay the whole plane. I’m surprised that passengers don’t intervene as much as I just at all. I’m actually kind of surprised over all of that. All right, coming up, we got red state rhino hunting and who stole Kristi Noem’s purse again? Hey, folks. So I want to share something important that every American should be aware of. We’re seeing a lot of economic uncertainty right now. You have the national debt rising.

SPEAKER 16 :
I want to tell you about Long Island Man because we’ve been talking so much about Maryland Man. Maryland Man, that innocent Maryland dad who just happened to be like a woman beating human trafficking gangbanger. But what of? Let me tell you about Long Island Man. This is the New York Post. This is a headline that’s a big mouthful. War criminal who helped orchestrate Rwandan genocide hid out as Long Island beekeeper for decades after lying on his immigration documents. And he’s from, and this was in Long Island. So he’s a literal convicted Rwandan genocide war criminal. He was a little beekeeper. Didn’t I see a movie, something like this with Jason Statham? Sidebar, total sidebar, pause. The movie, I think it was called Beekeeper. I’m looking at Kane. I think it was called Beekeeper. And it was Jason Statham, and it was a great movie. There was no character development. It was just, hi, we’re here. The plot is ass-kicking.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s what we’re doing. It’s called The Beekeeper.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s called The Beekeeper.
SPEAKER 05 :
Last year.
SPEAKER 16 :
I watched that, and it was a great movie. I liked it. Have you seen it?
SPEAKER 05 :
I have not. Although, I do like Jason Statham. I need to check this out. I think there’s another movie that’s out of his right now.
SPEAKER 16 :
Steve said he didn’t know we were playing Mad Libs today. Well, that’s in more than one way.
SPEAKER 05 :
That headline was mad.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it was absolutely mad. I mean, so he’s this dude was he’s a beekeeper. Well, is he, though? He acted like a beekeeper and he was in Long Island for 20 years. He lied on all of his immigration papers about his past. Faustin not going to say this name, right? Cain. N-S-A-B-U-M-U-K-U-N-Z-I. N-S-A-B-U-M-U-K-U-N-Z-I. That sounds right. The way you said it. N-S-A-B-U-M-U-K-U-Z-I. That’s right.
SPEAKER 1 :
65.
SPEAKER 16 :
Came to the U.S. in 2004. Blied on all of his green cards, his naturalization papers. He said he didn’t have any part in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He even did media interviews about his refugee status. And he developed connections with wealthy Hamptonites, wealthy progressive people in the Hamptons. They freaks. And then they apparently paid his bond, $250,000 bond after he was arrested so he could continue caring for bees because he was a beekeeper. I guess they weren’t his bees. He was caring for someone else’s bees. Nizibimisu Kizuzi, who was a beekeeper in his native country, he continued it here. He was also what they call a sector counselor. When he was in Rwanda, he literally directed the killings and rapes and participated in the violence against the Tutsis in Kibriti during the 100-day genocide that was carried, the ethnic cleansing that was carried out. Nizibutu Kibriti also assured folks during public meetings when he was in Rwanda that they would be protected. And then private meetings, he would tell the opposing factions that he was going to kill the other ethnic group. He set up roadblocks to stop them from fleeing. I mean, it’s just horrific. And one massacre, apparently he told one armed faction to kill a group of a different faction that were in an administrative office. And he apparently also beat some person to death by clubbing them in the head. So that’s this guy. He encouraged people. He encouraged the factions to rape the women as a genocidal tool. All of this. And he was there in Long Island forever. 20 years, and he also traveled abroad. He went to Ivory Coast. He was in Togo just recently in March. He was in Madagascar. He lived in the Ivory Coast for a decade prior to him coming to the United States, so he’s been a fugitive forever. How are you, literally a guy, directing rape as a tool of war, a weapon of war in Rwanda, and yet you’re able to come here and live as a beekeeper of all places in Long Island. Right. Isn’t that weird? It’s weird that no one that that didn’t tip anybody off. No one’s like, hmm, would you say your past was again? It’s a little odd. They approved his green card in 2007 after he explicitly denied ever engaging in genocide and he denied ever committing a crime of moral turpitude. He applied to become a citizen in 2016. It’s been pending ever since. They could deport him if they convict him. Interpol Rwanda issued a notice that he’s wanted for genocidal crimes in 2016. His client says, no, no, he’s a victim. He’s a law-abiding beekeeper and a gardener, simple gardener. He was a victim. But there are tons of witnesses who’ve all given statements to authorities that, yeah, we watched him beat a guy to death in the head. Yeah, we literally watched him help hold women captive so they could be raped as a weapon of war. All of these people are coming out saying this. So I don’t know. He’s just a Long Island dad, Cain. Guys, he’s a Long Island dad. Gotta think of the bees. That Beekeeper movie, though, it is a great movie. I’m not kidding you. I don’t know anything about the guy’s past. I don’t think they ever got into that. It’s a plot hole that nobody cares about because if I watch a Jason Statham movie, I’m not watching to see his Oscar-level acting. I’m not watching to see that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Although he is good and Oscar-level.
SPEAKER 16 :
He’s a great actor, but I’m not watching him to see a Ralph Fiennes performance. I’m watching him because I believe it when he punches people to death. And that’s what I want to see. Sometimes I just want a movie where the guy comes out and all you know about his character, he just goes, I’m the good guy. I’m going to play this bad guy. And then he does it. And you’re like, yay, that’s a great movie. That’s what I like. I’m a simple person. You know, I don’t need all the other garbage with it. Just, you know, show me that. So this is just a simple Long Island beekeeper, guys. I wonder if there were signs. I mean, that he literally was a general in a Rwandan genocide. That’s a pretty particular skill set. Were there signs? Just feel like this is going to be a movie. It ought to be. So a couple of things to get into here. So we’ve got, we’ve been following all of the latest targeting of Hegseth and others. Did you see, I have this New York Times piece that I wanted to show you. I’m trying to find out what the motivation is here. New York Times piece, What is Dark Woke? Have you ever heard of that? I’ve never heard of Dark Woke. The subhead, Democrats are trying out a new attitude. It’s provocative, it’s edgy, and it’s perilously towing the line of not being too offensive. Basically, it’s because they cuss, I think, is what the point is. It said they went back to the presidential primary and they boil it down to, quote, it requires being crass but discerning, rude but only to a point. And it has a name called, excuse me, called dark woke. How about just like assertive? you vocabulary-challenged, feeble-minded halfwits. How about assertive, curt, blunt? No, no, no. We’re going to totally full-on idiocracy it. It’s dark woke. Doesn’t that person look assertive? No, that person doesn’t look dark woke. This is the dumbest stuff ever. It started as a meme, but now they’re actually trying to make it a thing. They, uh… They say this is just the lack of awareness in this. Can I read this graph to you? The lack of awareness. Democrats don’t know who they are. They don’t even know how they act. Listen to this quote outside the party. The dirtbag left a term for a cohort of leftist provocateurs who is huge. Civility politics inspired headlines for their unrestrained derision of conservatives and liberals alike. When have they never not been that? Right. When have they never not been there? What do you mean that they’ve always eschewed civility politics? When has the left been super civil? I can’t tell you the number of protests I’ve been to where I’ve seen the left act. Where is this? They act like they’ve been just kittens in sunshine this whole time. Now they’re dark woke because, damn it, Trump did it. Trump made them eschew civility politics. That’s what this is building up to. They did this in 2016, too. Of course, they cite Jasmine Crockett. And then they highlighted her argument with Marjorie Taylor Greene when Greene was going on about fake eyelashes. Remember, that was actually a brilliant hearing, and it is true, girl. You need to take them down a gauge. They don’t all need to be 18s. And they said that they highlight Jasmine Crockett as somebody who’s dark woke. They list a number of other lawmakers. And then I realized I’ve seen these lawmakers either they’re on MSNBC or CNN cussing up a storm or they’ve got B-roll of them acting a fool at like some rally or speaking event. And listen to this. They make this like this is all the right that has corrupted the precious innocent left. Democrats have embraced some aspects of the rights toolkit. Trump advisors like Elon Musk have used slurs and profanity. And now they said, Now Democrat politicians have encouraged or allowed more swearing. What? So the way that this New York Times piece reads is that the left was just, they were all angels. It was all kittens and sunshine. And they were all perfectly well behaved people. They said yes ma’am and no ma’am. Yes sir and no sir. And they were just, they’re so kind and so nice and they They prayed before every meal and they went and they were very kind. Nobody believes this. What in the world? If anything, the right has adopted the left. I think you have members of the woke. I think there is a woke right right now. And I and I’ve talked about this before. I actually have a chapter on it in the very last book that I wrote. Identity politics being incorporated and weaponized by some people on the right. There’s different factions of the right. But the left for them to act like they never, ever were rude or aggressive. They’ve always ever been aggressive. And it’s one of the reasons that certain Republicans got more aggressive because they thought that they had to in order to be able to compete with this. It’s wild. And they said that, oh, well, they’re now becoming more authentic. I think they’re just devolving further. I mean, in the past, you know, when you would have like, you know, James Carville, I’m going to use him as an example because he’s like one of the older old guards that’s, you know, out there on CNN, etc. It just seems like, you know, in the past, they were aggressive and they would, you know, all this. James Carville’s always cussed, but he’s always made a point. What is Jasmine Krakus point? She gets up there and she makes fun of people in wheelchairs. What is her point? I don’t get it. This is such a goofy article. Culturally, I tweeted about this last night because I saw this article as I was getting ready to go to bed. I was reading this. And it has to do with Pedro Pascal. Do you guys know who he is? Pedro Pascal was in, well, my favorite role was as Oberyn whatever, Martell. Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones when he had his head crushed in. I thought that was his best role. That was one of my favorite scenes in all the TV. Popped his head like a grape. The Mountain did. He fought him. Anyway, so he has come out. And he’s attacking J.K. Rowling. As you know, they’ve had a massive legal fight and they had a big win in the UK over defining what, you know, protecting women and defining what they are. And he has come out and attacked her. He called her a loser, among several other things. He was also in Mandalorian and he was quiet when Gina Carano was attacked. Gina Carano just said it was pointing out some fascistic elements of the left and they went at her over it and fired her from it. Hollywood Reporter says Pedro Pascal blasted JK Rowling for her trans tweets. He called her a heinous loser. He commented on Instagram calling her a heinous loser. He’s also in The Last of Us, which I don’t watch. And he was responding to a post by an activist saying, who criticized her for celebrating the UK Supreme Court. They had a big ruling last week saying that trans women should not be recognized as women and sex legally means biological sex. Rowling was on her boat. She was with a cigar and she said, I love it when a plan comes together. She’s gloating and she has every right to. And she goes, I get the same royalties whether or not you read my books or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows. And he went off on her saying awful, disgusting blank is exactly right. Heinous loser behavior. Now, one of the things that I’ve read is his sister apparently is he’s got a well, he’s got a brother who pretends to be a girl. It’s not like actually his sister. he’s got a sibling, a brother, who came out and said that she was a girl. And he’s gone to events with him before. He’s taken his brother to events before. He has spoken up in favor of trans issues before. I think that kind of gives you some insight as to why he never said anything in defense of Gina Carano. And also, you get insight into this J.K. Rowling thing. He’s making people mad, too. Lorraine found this because he called Rachel Zegler an icon. This is a throwback. Well, not too much of a throwback. It’s just March of last year. But after all the stuff with Rachel Zegler and after she ruined the Snow White movie, he weighed in on it. And now people are kind of rolling their eyes at him. He called her an icon. He’s just… He is… He will… Pedro Pascal is a pick-me guy. He will say whatever he has to say to ingratiate himself with Hollywood. Whatever he has to do, he will do it. And it’s really… One of the most emasculating things I’ve ever seen. When I think of emasculation, I think of Pedro Pascal. I thought this for a long time. Any man that doesn’t have the balls to stick up for his coworker, much less a female coworker, when she’s being savaged unfairly and falsely in the press, you’re just nothing but a sack of low testosterone. That’s all Pedro Pascal is. He’s a pick-me guy. He will kiss whatever backside he has to and possibly more, I think. in order to get more traction in Hollywood. It’s just, it’s cringe. He tries so hard. If you’ve ever seen any video of him, any red carpet appearance, anything like that, that’s exactly what he tries to do. It’s really cringe. We’ve got a lot more on the way. So let’s be real. Medical freedom isn’t just a catchphrase. It’s your right. Your health decisions belong to you and not the government, not big pharma, and definitely not someone elected bureaucrat.

SPEAKER 16 :
Back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the top of the second hour. And my friend, our listener, Vegas Larry, that’s his official name. He’s going to have to get like a satin jacket with it on as many times as we shout him out on the show. He made this. This is an actually great point. And I retweeted it. He said, everyone who wanted student loan forgiveness, they’re all of a sudden economic experts on tariffs. I was telling Cain over the radio break that, and I was trying to find it, someone actually was trying to op-ed the you know the whole black friday thing and how we it doesn’t exist right now because we don’t have a black friday and they’re trying to say oh well you know it doesn’t necessarily mean like literally friday people the black monday thing like what what it kane what were the headlines friday yeah it’s all gonna be black monday we’re all gonna die today it didn’t happen so now the left is like well it doesn’t literally mean like my what yes it does actually it’s in Yeah, it does actually mean that anything that they can do. So at what point, look, I’m not going to sit here and talk about it nonstop, because I’m not going to engage in the speculation. That’s what I don’t like. I don’t like the speculation. Because at some point, you know, we know the tenants of free market, and we know the tenants of good economic policy. And you know, there’s only so much to be said of it. But You know, at the same time, I can’t stand getting into the speculation of stuff and making people freak out unnecessarily. Right. I kind of am one of those. I’m going to just stay and sort of bob in the water here and watch and see what happens, because it all changes so dramatically day to day. I mean, for crying out loud, Cain, it’s like the EU is now saying, yeah, we would like to have a zero tariff. We’d like to have, you know, a zero tariff policy. So let’s talk about how maybe perhaps we can do that. OK, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Listen to this. The content. Listen.
SPEAKER 01 :
These tariffs come first and foremost at immense costs for U.S. consumers and businesses. But at the same time, they have a massive impact on the global economy. Especially hard hit are the developing countries. And this is a major turning point for the United States. Nonetheless, we stand ready to negotiate with the United States. Indeed, we have offered zero for zero tariffs for industrial goods, as we have successfully done with many other trading partners.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s Ursula von der Leyen. She’s the head of the European Union. She’s the head of the EU. And so that’s she’s coming in and saying, yes, we would we’d love to be able to to have no tariffs. Let’s talk about how we can make this possible. Great. Let’s do it. Let’s make. OK, then let’s have that. I’m okay with it. And I’m okay if it’s all on China. We need to really start purchasing less from China anyway. And we’re going to talk to Steven Yates about this coming up. So these are all great things, right? Can I just change your gears totally for a moment? We’ll come back to this. Can I just go back to this? I had it in the headline. It was a brief headline. And the reason that I am bringing the story up to discuss this particular totally not in news at all story today is because I really feel like we all should go here and take it over. And then we become the tribesmen and then we can shoot arrows at anyone who wants to try to get near us. I see the headlines like I’ve been seen with the terror of craziness and it makes me want to go to the silence. So it’s the Bay of Bengal. And in the vast expanse, let me put on my David Attenborough hat, in the vast expanse that is the Bay of Bengal, there lies North Sentinel Island, a remote speck of land that is fiercely guarded by both the Indian Navy and its indigenous inhabitants. people known as the Sentinelese. It is a tribe, the population of which we can only estimate maybe between 50 and 200, right? They are classified as uncontacted. They are isolated and they respond in the same manner that I do when unwanted guests appear with lethal force. They don’t like drop-bys. Don’t think that you’re going to just scooch on over and knock on their door. It’s not going to happen. And they are protected in part because the Indian government and others do not want them contracting any kind of potential diseases from outsiders to which they’ve no immunity. And so there are strict prohibitions on approaching the island So they’ve declared the island and all of the surrounding waters to be an exclusion zone. And they enforce this with a regular naval patrol. And any unauthorized entry is highly illegal. And you are forbidden to contact the tribe at all. Now, they do this not because they’re going to necessarily fine you, but because you will be killed to death by the Sentinelese. They are legally permitted to defend their territory, even up to the point of killing trespassers. And now, they’ve had hapless fishermen. There was a determined Christian missionary. All have gained access, and they all met grizzly ends there. Now, last Monday… Not this Black Monday, Cain, but last Monday, there was an American tourist. Now, if you said, oh boy, I already know where this is going, Dana. Yes, you do. Down to the description of said tourist. Said tourist, again, you know, I have a thing about, because I think it looks bad and it just isn’t the same. White people with dreadlocks, particularly if you’re blonde, don’t do it like this guy did. So that’s his first problem, right? You look like a tourist. Stop that. He’s an American tourist. He traveled to a restricted reserve on North Sentinel Island and he left behind a can of Coca-Cola as an offering. so that the most isolated tribe in the world could try it. The experts branded this guy’s attempt as a deeply disturbing stunt. Not only did he put himself in danger, but the entire Sentinelese tribe, they could contract a common disease like socialism or something, and it could kill all of them. There’s no education, by the way, as the actual vaccine for socialism. Did you know that? It’s true. You don’t even have to get a shot just there. So he was arrested. He’s 24 years old. He was arrested when he returned to land. And they were warning him, like, you could have been killed to death. You know this, right? Because they will kill you and eat you. Well, maybe not eat you, but they’ll totally kill you. Apparently, they’ve inhabited this place for 30,000 to 38,000 years. I don’t know if I believe that. But they’re there. They’re indigenous. And you don’t want to mess with them because they will literally come out and just throw a barrage of arrows at you. It will rain down and block out the sun. Didn’t Xerxes say that when he was battling the 300? The arrows will block out the sun. And so I don’t know why people are hell-bent on contacting them. What if, though, to get away, because if I swear, if I have to put up with any more of these press headlines, what if we just act like we’re there? Like, oh, no, no, we didn’t. We’re here. We’ve been here this whole time. Just, you know, just go and show up and we’ll act like we’re members of the tribe. That way we don’t have to watch these insane headlines and all of the weeping and gnashing of teeth about the economic or not downfall. I would. Would you go there, Cain? But you like grounding in bacteria tea.
SPEAKER 05 :
I can do that wherever I want.
SPEAKER 16 :
You like hippie stuff. These are like professional hippies.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re really throwing that professional word around.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, I mean, by our society’s measurement, they are.
SPEAKER 05 :
Still a lot of heavy lifting.
SPEAKER 16 :
Professional.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t see it.
SPEAKER 16 :
This is where I think that if we don’t go there, we should send the Panikins there. It still sounds like I’m talking about a bird, doesn’t it? I don’t like Trump’s nickname. I’m really disappointed. It’s the first time I’ve never not liked a nickname. That’s what he’s calling Chex Notes, the weak and stupid people.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’ll be the new Galapagos. We’ll just put all the Panikins there.
SPEAKER 16 :
They’re like pangolins, but dumb. Well, what can you tell us? This is an indigenous Panikin. Oh, yes. They’re bulbous heads. And very dumb, very dumb beasts of burden. They are the panikins. Don’t they sound they sound like a weird flightless bird panikins. So just just, you know, just saying. All right. Some of the other the things that we’ve been watching, obviously, the tariffs. I’m not going to be. Why also? Can I ask this question? Why is it? And this is what I wanted to bring up last. This is one of our last segments, but we ran out of time. So CNN has announced that they’re hosting a town hall with four battleground members of Congress. You’ve got Lawler out of New York, McKenzie out of Pennsylvania. Those are the two Republicans. And then you have the two Democrats, Tran out of California and Hayes out of Connecticut, moderated by. Jake Tapper and Caitlin Collins, and it’s going to be this week. Why are they doing this? It’s going to be a two minutes hate sesh. It’ll be like Parkland light. Why in the world are they doing this? Because I got to be honest with you. I feel like the comms people that work with these particular battleground folks that are they’re not going to adequately prep these lawmakers, how much you want to bet. And it’s going to be a bunch of Democrats that are going to get up and they’re going to scream and gnash teeth. And why are you letting Elon Musk steal all of our monies and all of these other things? That’s what you’re going to hear nonstop. There’s not going to be any kind of resolution or ground of agreement to be had it is literally a way to make money from a two minutes hate session i think yeah you agree kane that’s oh yeah i i would not i don’t understand the point of doing these i told a congressional member that had one of these town halls And of course, it was a two-minute Tate session. I’m like, why did you even have this? First off, these people are arguably not even in your district, number one. Number two, this isn’t about having an open and honest discussion. It’s a bunch of socialists that want to screech at you. That’s it. And take videos of themselves screeching at you so that they can put it up on Instagram and act like they’re a hard ass later. That’s all they want. That’s all this is. Why would you even participate in this? This is not a good faith town hall. For real, a good faith town hall. Why don’t you have a good faith town hall about Tesla at a Tesla dealership and see how well that goes. You guys remember the one town hall that we had? This was after the shooting of Gabby Giffords that took place and there was a tea party. I still talk to him every now and then. He was the head of the Tucson Tea Party. And they threatened to kill him. Like this guy stood up and threatened to kill him like live on air at a CNN town hall. You remember that came? And CNN was like, anyway, guys, remember that? That’s kind of how they view the town halls. So I don’t. Why is any Republican doing this? If you’re in a battleground, this isn’t the way to do it. Yeah, I’m just saying this is not the way to try to, like, get an advantage. Our Gen 3 Sub 2K, brand new, K-E-L-T-E-C, Florida-based company, great company, by the way. And the folks over at Kel-Tec, they have this, I mean, they have different versions of the full in-half carbine, but now you have it chambered in all kinds of stuff, including brand new 10 millimeter and everything made right here in the US of A all American parts all American labor and all American ingenuity single twist and fold motion of the rotating forend folds this quickly in half optics and all you don’t have to detach anything and just as quickly it deploys zeroed and ready to rock it folds down to 16 and a half inches for easy storage and transport takes Glock mags you got a reliable blowback design ensuring ease of maintenance and consistent performance A five-pound trigger pull for greater accuracy.

SPEAKER 05 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 16 :
They’re really trying to get you to freak out over bird flu. They’re saying, oh, my gosh, bird flu could be heading north this spring. Fewer federal health officials are working to stop it. I don’t care. It’s a virus. It’s just that’s the way it is. Just wash your hands. Don’t be gross and don’t eat dead birds on the side of the road. I mean, really, how difficult is this, people? Do we have to freak out over everything? Stop it. Just take a breather. These people with these headlines. Good night. Panic in Austria. Borders are shut to two countries after a disease outbreak. Oh, but not to like the influx of people coming in from all manners of the globe illegally. They said Slovakia has closed 24 borders, introduced strict measures to help prevent the spread of a highly infectious disease. They said this is it’s foot and mouth, foot and mouth disease. Again, just don’t be gross. Be careful what you eat. I mean, what? cocaine. What in the world? People know this. Second measles death reported in Texas. I mean, all of these are just like and also Texas AG is investigating Kellogg’s over healthy cereal claims. Ken Paxton said that they’re investigating Kellogg’s over the artificial food dyes in cereals. Why does anybody eat? Why Like the pops and the Froot Loops or Frootios.
SPEAKER 05 :
From nostalgia, probably. I remember as a kid loving it.
SPEAKER 16 :
I never had Froot Loops until I moved out on my own and I bought a box of Frootios. I always had Frootios. I always had, like, the great value version of stuff.
SPEAKER 05 :
Actually, growing up, you’re right. We had Cheerios.
SPEAKER 16 :
Dude, I did not get cereal in a box, like, maybe a couple times. It was always in bags, right? It was always in a bag.
SPEAKER 05 :
Remember when Kix came out? Kid-tested, mother-approved. That’s a horrible cereal. I used to like that cereal. Kix was just a boring disappointment. Because all I had was Cheerios up to that point.
SPEAKER 16 :
Cheerios also was horrible, unless you put a cup of sugar in it. It’s horrible. Why would anybody eat that?
SPEAKER 05 :
Remember Grape Nuts?
SPEAKER 16 :
Grape Nuts are horrible. That’s like, go out and just, you know what, just beat up a squirrel and take its food. I used to love putting sugar in that. You know what great nuts is? Squirrels eating nuts and spitting them into the cereal box and they seal it up at the factory and send it out and people pay money for it.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s where great nuts come from. Huh?
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m just saying. Anyway, just stop eating trash. There’s your headline. And then, but I’ve got more. What? Dana, we’re done with your Dorian-ness today. That’s okay. But you’re not. NASA, by the way, we did miss this last segment, last headline. NASA, they’re saying that there is a mysterious structure on Mars that proves there was life on the red planet. It’s a new book out. They said that they’ve analyzed dozens of photos of structures on the Martian surface and they are positive that they are man-made. Well, I don’t know if they’re watching what our headlines have been for the past 48 hours, actually longer than that. They don’t want anything to do with us because the stupidity may be more catching than the hand, foot, mouth and the measles. I’ve said for years now that our media is just garbage. Legacy Press is garbage. How does the average person know if a news story, if the source is accurate or if it’s biased? Ground News can be a great solution for that. Ground News can show you the stories and the sources of the day and then they give you details about their sourcing. how reliable the reporting is and who owns them and keep you fully informed on any potential political or motivational leanings.

The Huffington Post said, quote, Trump’s newest political power grab is targeting Maine. The Toronto Sun said, quote, DOJ is to sue Maine over trans women competing in female sports. So same story, but two very different headlines. Is it a power grab by the president or is it in the hands of the DOJ?

SPEAKER 03 :
And not only that, there was actually a discount. You didn’t have to pay a deposit. on the feet. This is like how it works. I couldn’t believe it. So we didn’t know anything about the racial identity of the kids until they started to look mixed race, which they are. And contending with the hair thing is already a thing. Lots of advice, especially from black parents.
SPEAKER 16 :
I listened to this whole interview and he actually messed up and said that there was a discount for adopting black kids. And then he kind of caught himself And was like, well, I meant, you know, like there’s no deposit. Oh, my gosh. And then he went on about like fixing hair and that. That’s just a weird. That’s what that is so weird. You know, he wants to run. I forgot to include him when I was listing the names of Democrats that want to run in 2028. He’s one of them. Why? I don’t know. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Why? Why would he be? Nobody knows. It’s crazy. So it’s just a total normal way of talking about starting a family, I guess. Yes, well, you know, we didn’t have to put a deposit down on these black kids that we got. So I’m really… The way that he talked about it, And I listened to the whole thing. And I feel like he recognized how callous it kind of sounded while he was discussing it. And then he was like, I need to shift this into sounding a little bit more like a human. But the way that he made them sound like commodities, like kids are commodities. I don’t know. He’s just not a good candidate. He’s not. He wasn’t a good mayor. And he wasn’t even a good secretary of transportation. He was horrible. He wasn’t even there half the time. Oh, my gosh. We’re at the bottom of this second hour. I’ve got some odds and ends to get to as well. And we’re also going to we got to talk about this red state rhino hunting. Actually, let’s do this first, because it has been a hot mess, a hot mess in Texas. So yesterday we told you about the moves in the Texas legislature to raise all of our taxes. Right. Well, apparently now they’ve got a bill. It’s moving in the Senate. Less than 24 hours notice for the hearing that happened today. And it was in the Senate Business and Commerce Committee. And it’s basically like a Chinese social credit scoring system that’s in Texas. It’s Senate Bill 1460. Donna Campbell wants to have the Texas Ethics Commission. And this is Texas scorecard. She wants to allow the Texas Ethics Commission She wants to give them the unilateral power to put us on an ethics violation registry. So it targets like doctors and lawyers and realtors and carpenters and plumbers and anybody who requires a license to work. You could have your entire livelihood put under risk under Senate Bill 1460. Now, for what? Well, for instance, one of the cases that was brought up before the Senate was a case of a 71 year old woman and an 82 year old man. The Texas Ethics Commission was going after them because they had handmade yard signs on their lawns and it didn’t include the required disclaimer. What they were doing is not even something, that’s not even political activity that you can regulate under the law. But the Texas Ethics Commission decided, no, we’re going to accuse you because you didn’t put a disclaimer on your handmade signs. We’re going to accuse you of breaking the law. And the fines can be, it’s up to their discretion. It’s like pretty much unlimited. And this woman, you know, she’s an elderly woman. She’s on a budget. So she made her signs herself. She was hit with a default judgment because she didn’t have a car to apparently drive her to her hearing in Austin. And if you try to appeal, I mean, they’ll try to they will lawfare you. They will lawfare you. So if if Senate Bill 1460 passes. And again, Texas Scorecard had a real good write up of this. You also had Tony McDonald with Tarrant County GOP. They you could be dragged in front of the. I mean, I am. This is wild. This is like and this is if you require a license to work, period. You’re going to be targeted with us. Be careful about your political expressions. Be careful about, you know, I this is this is a heinous idea. This is some of the stuff that they’re doing in Austin. This is some of the stuff they’re doing down there. I have no idea why she thinks that this is something that’s needed. I don’t get it. She’s from New Braunfels, Texas. So that’s a little south of where we are. This is just a touch of what some of these people, these rhinos are trying to push in Texas’s state capitol. Like, for instance, over at, and Michael Sullivan noted this, and he’s over at Texas Scorecard. You have Burroughs, Justin Burroughs, who is Speaker of the Texas House. He’s getting a lot of justified criticism. They’re pulling in. They pulled some pro-life legislation from the hearing schedule for some reason. And that caused the Planned Parenthood of Texas to go out and say, oh, that’s great. HB 2197 has been pulled. They’re not going to hear it. That’s great. I have no idea why a pro-life legislation was pulled. I don’t know. But par for the course. I think we’re going to start keeping a ledger of names of all the people that we talk about. for these problems with red state rhino hunting. The other thing too is in Florida, you had, what’s his name? Alex Andrade. He’s the guy who got fired from being the attorney for the city of Milton. And he was pictured with a black eye after he reportedly got into a bar fight. He is a really short tempered dude. I mean, he doesn’t have a lot of, doesn’t have a lot of apparently smarts or patience. He was on a little internet show where he was talking about And he had he was it sounded like he was making fun of people with autism. And he was going after Andrade’s mad because a lot of I guess a lot of the stuff that he proposed, a lot of big spending has been rejected by the governor or other conservative, actual conservative lawmakers in the Republican legislature there in Florida. And he was joking because it came up that, oh, well, somebody said that Ron DeSantis must have Asperger’s. And it was like a joke. And he was like, well, you know, that’s what I’ve heard. And then he’s been all day on social media defending it. If you’re mocking this stuff, if you think it’s funny to weaponize Asperger’s, to weaponize autism and speculate about people and make a joke of it and use it against people because you’re mad that they are more conservative and successful than you are, you have a soul deficiency. That is it’s heinous. I’m not playing the video. It’s out there. I was floored when I saw that. Just so you know, he’s the guy who threatened to fight my husband and all this other stuff. I can’t believe this guy. People voted for him. He is like he sounds like a really vengeful, dangerous dude. Right. It’s just like he’s like he he gives me the heebie jeebies. He really does. He’s like one of those people. If I was at a bar and Alex Andrade was at a bar, I would cover my drink. Actually, I wouldn’t be at a bar where he was, but I really would cover my drink if I was near him. I’m not kidding. He gives me that kind of vibe. He’s just he freaks me out. He’s just anyway. So moving on. Can we talk about one other bits and pieces? What did you do? Steve did this. I have to address it now. I feel like. Before you, you know, I’m not getting into like entertainment gossip or anything like that. I hate that stuff. But I do think that this is sort of symbolic of the grifter culture. That ginger who came over here and is trying to be Prince of Montecito. What’s his face? Hairy ginger. And then his wife who was on that game show. She had like a D-list role on some Canadian sitcom called And I don’t know, was she on like one season? I don’t know. Nobody ever watched it. Nobody knew who she was until she started dating Despair, right, from the UK. So that Meghan Markle lady, she… is doing a cooking show on Netflix and I’ve never seen, I only watched five seconds of it and I thought she was going to cut her wrist by trying to zest a lemon. This girl has never been in the kitchen in her life. She has no idea how to do basic things. You can look when somebody’s chopping up vegetables or if they’re doing basic things, you can tell if they’ve cooked or not. I mean, she was just like with the zester using this, you’re supposed to, I was dying. I was like, she’s going to cut herself. Watching her put stuff in a hot pot and then having long hair hanging all over the food. It was just so gross. And so audio somebody 21, Steve wants to torture me. She didn’t make the times list of, of cool people, but she did get invited there because her agency probably bought her access. I have to play this. This is one of the goofiest things ever. Palate cleanser. Go ahead, Steve, kill us.
SPEAKER 13 :
All things to be talking about for Time 100. Let’s talk about flower sprinkles. But let’s, because I think it speaks to the tiny moments of joy that are so effortless and just create a little bit of magic that we’re all craving. What in the hell word salad is this? Tiny little flower petals that are dried. I started putting them on salads. I started putting them on scrambled eggs. It didn’t actually matter. On a yogurt parfait. I feel like she’s selling me a used car. The level of charm that you find people have when they see these tiny little dried petals is something I can’t fully wrap my head around, but I appreciate that there is a love for.
SPEAKER 16 :
People who have this sort of elocution are so incredibly fake. So you’re, I’m elevating it by putting dried flower petals on all of my food. And just, you know, it just came, it adds a little bit of magic. You know, it elevates things. Okay, let’s talk about, I’m going to be mean for a minute and bear with me. You got that image, right, Juan? Mm-hmm. Let’s talk about the linen outfit. Sidebar. You’re going to, I had to, look, I had to listen to J.B. Pritzker and read an article about J.B. Pritzker. You’re going to give me this. Okay. So first up, let me go into total chick mode. All my ladies out there are going to appreciate this. I get it that there’s this like beach casual aesthetic that permeates Californian culture. I think when you’re showing up to an awards event, linen is a great material. I love linen. It’s breathable. It doesn’t really matter if it’s sprinkled, but you don’t and it can be baggy, but not too baggy. Right. These pants, I want to burn them. When you’re short-waisted, you don’t wear high-waisted pants, and you don’t wear grandma’s drapes as trousers. It’s too long. It’s too wide-legged. It emphasizes the wrinkles. It drags the ground to the point where your pants are dirty. Please, dear heavens, if you want to elevate something, elevate your influence so that you don’t have to buy off the rack and designers will give you their stuff so you don’t have to walk out looking like a Timu version of Kate Middleton. Please, dear heavens. Okay, I’m done. I got it out of my system. You had no idea what was happening there, did you? Because you’re a man, rightfully so.
SPEAKER 09 :
Nope.
SPEAKER 16 :
You just can’t wear big baggy stuff like that. I mean, the jacket was baggy. The shirt was baggy. Everything can’t be baggy. Pick one thing. I don’t get it. But it’s just grifterism.
SPEAKER 18 :
She’s not on the list. Why was she there?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, because her agency probably bought her access. Probably Netflix. They’re desperate and promoting that boondoggle that they call a cooking show where she makes like somebody got like a chemical burns from her homemade salt scrub. I mean, it’s the stupidest stuff ever. People are broke and she’s like, let’s make candles. Shut up. Let’s like be able to afford eggs. Not everybody was lucky and had a daddy that worked in Hollywood that paid for your schooling and paid for you to have access to all of this. And then you consider marrying above your station to be female empowerment while also pretending to be duchess in a country that does not recognize nor give a rat’s ass for such titles. Spare me. Good heavens. She’s the one who chartered a private plane to fly down in Texas when they had the school shooting and have a camera crew videotape her laying flowers. And then she went back. A stunt. Unbelievable. All right. So we have more to come. I don’t like her. We have Florida Man on the way. And then Matt Mowers is going to be joining us later on. And then Steve also has graced us with some Dylan Mulvaney audio. Dylan Mulvaney, that dude, that twink, he wants to leave the U.S. Okay, bye. Go on now. Hey, folks. So I want to share something important that every American should be aware of. We’re seeing a lot of economic uncertainty right now.

SPEAKER 19 :
Could Luigi Mangione’s killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO lead to anarchy in America? Pastor Alan Jackson says yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
But he shot this insurance executive. And I mean, there’s this whole host of people trying to justify it because their insurance got canceled. Therefore, it’s okay to go assassinate some insurance worker.
SPEAKER 19 :
That is teetering on anarchy. Subscribe to Culture and Christianity, an Alan Jackson podcast, on your favorite podcast app.

SPEAKER 05 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, well, well, a Florida USPS worker. This is probably why none of my packages ever get to my house and why it takes me. It literally takes a month to send a piece of mail from my house to St. Louis. I’m not even kidding you. That’s how long it takes. A USPS worker was arrested this month in Melbourne, Florida, because she decided to stop off at a house party during her route and drink a bunch of vodka. And then later in the mail truck, apparently she was caught driving the wrong way in traffic. Dude. That’s a probable cause affidavit via Click Orlando. Caitlin Dye, 33, was arrested on April 12th on a charge of DUI. They literally, Melbourne police, they called and said, yeah, there’s a USPS truck driving the wrong way down the highway. And the driver is literally just throwing plastic cups out of the vehicle. So the officers responded and they saw the mail truck driving west on East University Boulevard. And then it made a U-turn to head the other way. And it was swerving in and out of its lane and then went back into the opposite lane. They pulled over the mail truck, and they said that Di appeared to be confused and disoriented. They did a field sobriety exercise, and of course she did not do well in those. They questioned her, and she said that she was delivering to a home, and she was invited inside for a party, and she took some vodka shots before she left, and then she got pulled over. So they asked her why she was swerving in and out of traffic, and she goes, oh, I was tired. I was taking a nap. And she said that she threw the cup out of the vehicle because she was swishing her mouth out with water so she wouldn’t smell like alcohol. She was booked in a Brevard County jail. I mean, there you go right there. Woo boy. Now we got another guy wrestling another gator every dang week in Florida. You can go wrestle a gator. So Jacksonville, Florida. Let’s see. During Easter dinner, they had to call a gator trapper. A family did in Jacksonville because there was a giant gator in their yard. A woman was getting ready to take her dog out when she noticed a seven-foot alligator right by the slide door of her patio. Very good. And she said she was just finishing up Easter dinner with family and she was she needed to get the alligator off the property. But she had to get some help. And that’s when Mike Dragich arrived and shoeless. And he wrestled this gator into a garbage can. And it’s actually hysterical looking because it kept popping up and hissing at everybody. It couldn’t get out of the can, but it kept popping up to hiss. And nobody got bit. Thankfully, they called Florida Fish and Wildlife and they were able to take the gator. But yeah, you got to be careful. I wouldn’t be able to let like my dogs out or well, we could probably kill one. Wick is hardcore. Wild raccoon attack. A Florida woman speaks out because she suffered one in her backyard. They’re not pets. She said as soon as she opened up her back door, it bit her on the leg. It was like Monty Python screaming and a crazy raccoon. And she couldn’t shake him off. And he chased her into a corner. And they had to call, she had to go to the emergency room. Animal control had to respond. Thankfully, the animal tested negative for rabies, but it was very aggressive. They had to relocate it. Man, crazy raccoons biting ladies’ legs in Florida.

SPEAKER 12 :
My next guest is one of the most prominent Catholic lawmakers in American history. Joining me now is the former Speaker of the House, Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Thank you so much for being here. I just got to read your lengthy and really heartfelt statement that you and your husband Paul released. I’m sorry. What?
SPEAKER 16 :
She’s such a great she’s such a great Catholic. That was on CNN with Dana Bash. And Cain and I were having, you know, we were having a little bit of a discussion about this because like what makes her such a great Catholic? Cain and I both believe that she collects communion.
SPEAKER 05 :
In bottles.
SPEAKER 16 :
She’s got, you know, the blood, bottles and bottles of it. Probably takes it every couple minutes, you know, just saying. Several times. I mean, if she can be a good Catholic, then I guess a man can be a woman, you know? I mean, good heavens, I don’t know. Welcome back to the program again, Dana Lash, top of this third hour, Scratched Eye Edition. Can we talk about Lesbian Visibility Week? Yeah, we need to, because I didn’t know it was this week. I don’t really want to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s this week. Hold up. It’s this week. It goes until Friday. Apparently, it kicked off, what, yesterday, today? Lesbian Visibility Week? It has a graphic, so you know it’s official. When they come out with graphics, it’s official. Lesbian Visibility Week. The one week which you can see lesbians. Any other time. And look, the graphic. Juan’s shown you the graphic on the simulcast. It is official with that graphic. It’s Lesbian Visibility Week. It’s the week where lesbians can uncloak themselves and be visible in our community. That’s right. You didn’t know that, did you? They have the power of… There could be… I mean, well, this week they can’t. But any other time, there could be an invisible lesbian in your car, Cain. You would know it because they’re invisible.
SPEAKER 05 :
I had no idea.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m telling you. And I have to read this tweet. I saw this last night from now. Her name is Governor Tina Kotek. I read it as Tina Kotek’s. And I’m like, that makes all the sense in the world. She tweeted, I’m one of two lesbians who hold the title of governor in the United States. I’m proud to live in and serve a state where every person can be their authentic selves. How are you not being your authentic selves? Now, this is going to blow your mind, but hold up. Do you know that there are actual lesbians that go to work and don’t talk about how they’re lesbians all the time and preface everything with, did you know I’m a lesbian?
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s how they’re invisible.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m telling you. I mean, if you’re a lesbian and you’re not telling everybody you’re a lesbian, are you a lesbian? It’s like if a tree falls in the woods, you know? Here’s my question with the whole thing. Again, I have my scratched eye, so deal with me. If they’re invisible lesbians, this angers me. Why are they not going out on strike teams? Think about the baddies that we don’t like El Chapo or something like when he’s done that, we could have sent in an invisible lesbian strike team and they could have just kill build El Chapo. Right. And then that would have been the wiser because invisible, right? Invisible. I just don’t understand. And then you get this governor who says, I’m one of two. Well, I, Why do people have to constantly affix to themselves these identity politic boxes? It’s like they think that somehow their specialness is magnified by however many identity boxes they attach. Right. So like, OK, you’re a lesbian. What if you’re a trans lesbian? Oh, my gosh, that person is more special than you are. I just, you know, I don’t sit here and tell people, like, I really like guacamole, and I’m, like, really proud to be, like, a big guacamole lover here behind the mic. You know what I mean? I just don’t do that kind of stuff. I don’t understand why, you know, it doesn’t make any sense to me why people do this. I don’t know. I mean, then DOD needs to send them out as strike teams. I’m still trying to get over Governor Kotak’s. I’m one of two people who believe the number of intersectional boxes you check determines your worth. Hold the title. That’s what she’s basically saying. Stop with this stuff. This is so goofy. You don’t constantly, you know, need to list identity politics as like your lead in order to somehow give you worth. I mean, you have worth without all of this stuff. It just is goofy. We need a whole month devoted to how we get it on. What about like straight dudes into fat chicks or, you know, skinny dudes into, you know, super skinny? I don’t know. Like, I mean, are we just going to start? Dudes who pee sitting down. They get a whole visibility week. Like, how are we, is this where we’re going to go? Every little thing has to be played up as some sort of like identity politic check, you know, box check.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes. Representation, I guess.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, but why are you not having representation is my question.
SPEAKER 05 :
Like the, for those, you know, faking that you don’t have representation is kind of the grip.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, you’re a governor. I’m pretty sure you’re visible. No one sees me. I’m the lesbian governor. How did you get to be governor? Well, I was a lesbian, and then I talked about running for office. That’s what. I think she’s a DEI hire, personally. But, yeah, I was really trying to get over Governor Kotak. It’s Kotak, but still. I have a couple of audio soundbites, and we’ve got some other stuff we’re going to get into as well. Nancy Mace had a time at her town hall. Audio soundbite 19. Listen.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think that there’s a way that you can do it.
SPEAKER 16 :
And still, although I say this as somebody who matches your energy, right? Like whatever energy you come at me, I will double it. And then people get like, people who are mean to me online, they’re so surprised when I like punch you in the throat back. They’re like, why did you, it’s like that meme where somebody’s riding a bike and they put a stick in it. Why did you do that to me? So was the person being mean? If a man comes up to me though, I have like a visceral reaction. If a man comes up and tries to police my speech, hmm. I’m just saying. I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman. Anybody, but particularly a dude who’s trying to cosplay as a woman. Don’t police my speech. But I don’t know. I feel like some of the stuff that she does is like for stunts. Tone it down, right? We get it. Just do the work. Just do the work. I mean, that’s great. You’re arguing with trainees, but where the hell is our tax relief, right? Why are these EOs not cemented and legislated into law? That’s all well and good. Have your trainee fight, but can we do this other stuff too? I would love to see as much attention put on all this other stuff. Why are you making that face over there?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. I think it’s a little unfair. These people are coming up to her.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
So you’re saying her putting it out on social media is part of that?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t know. I probably would have been like, I can say what I want. And then if they ratcheted it up… Is she up for re-election in 26?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. Probably. That’s what I’m guessing is the case.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s what a lot of it is. I’ve never had anybody try to control my speech before. I don’t think anybody would try to. But still, I just think we need to get some of this other stuff done. However… Can I just go back to that guy’s outfit real quick? We weren’t getting away out of this one. Yeah, forgive me. I have a scratched eye, so I’m constantly attending to it. So I need to talk about this guy’s outfit for a minute. What in the brunch hell is he wearing? So first off, women don’t dress like this. Why are you wearing a giant straw hat? Is it a straw hat? Is that Raffia?
SPEAKER 09 :
It looks like it.
SPEAKER 16 :
You’re not at the beach. You don’t need a sun hat if you’re not at the beach. Or also, is this trying to be like Easter wear? Also, you cannot wear a sweetheart cut like that with an empire waist unless you actually have like a chest to fill it out. I’m not trying to be mean, but it just doesn’t look attractive. Otherwise, it just looks like little sunken pancakes. It doesn’t look any good. And that necklace is, I get that it’s a statement piece, but it’s too big. No self-respecting woman is going to walk out dressed like this. If you’re going to try to cosplay as a woman, dear heavens, give us the respect that we’re due and do it properly. I turn into Joan Rivers when I see people dress badly. Dana, you wear black all the time. Exactly. Exactly. Now you get it, don’t you? A few other things that I want to… Do we have time? Yeah, we do. I’m trying to get everything in today. So… The red dyes. I need to talk about this because… Kane, when is this kicking into place?
SPEAKER 05 :
Four o’clock Eastern today.
SPEAKER 16 :
So three central.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 16 :
So artificial food dyes are going to be banned. Like red 40. They’re phasing them out. So artificial dyes derived from petroleum. And there’s a lot of them that are there. I mean, some studies say that they’re associated with moodiness and irritability and all that good stuff. All the good stuff. They said that they are… I guess they’re trying to replace them with more… natural like food-based things like turmeric and paprika and stuff like that yeah uh but it is going to be so they’re phasing them out so that means so they’re still going to be on the store shelves but they can’t make anything new as i understand it correct right okay So get all your red dye right now. I’m actually OK with this.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m totally OK with this. The fact that it’s been going on this long, we’ve had years and years of examples of other countries that have wiped out these artificial dyes years ago.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
And we still haven’t. Like, what is the motivation for that? great question. A little miffed.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. Great question. Well, I mean, in, in, I mean, if you travel out of the country and depending where you go, I mean, you notice a difference in the food, like Italy, there’s a huge difference in the food. Some say even France is a huge, I haven’t been to France, a huge difference in the food and elsewhere. And there’s a lot of stuff that we put in ours. Like none of this stuff is, is you can’t, a ton of European countries don’t have this stuff. Nobody else has this stuff in their food. We do. We allow it. Um, But Cain, what do you say for the people who go, this is big government?
SPEAKER 05 :
Big government? No, it’s big government to allow all the crap that makes us unhealthy. That’s big government. What we’re doing is dismembering big government’s influence that we’ve had over the last decades as it relates to what’s approved for our food.
SPEAKER 16 :
You know, this makes me think of, so I work with a nutritionist and all this stuff, and one of um and i have an allergist because i have crazy allergies and they were telling me that they were suspecting and i don’t know if i believe it that i’m i’m might be gluten sensitive and i’m like i’m not gluten sensitive that’s stupid i’m gonna eat all the gluten in the world and then i started thinking i’m not gluten sensitive i’m chemical sensitive That has nothing to do with gluten. When I was in Italy, I ate my weight in pasta three times a day and I had gelato. I mean, I ate like a morbidly obese child when I was in Italy. I’m not even kidding.
SPEAKER 05 :
You didn’t gain anything.
SPEAKER 16 :
I lost weight because I walked like 10 miles a day. I’m not exaggerating that one at all. I’ve got the… I had the data to prove it. And you… I didn’t feel tired. I didn’t have like any of the… issues that I normally would have if I eat a lot of bread or if I eat a lot of carbs or pasta or something like that I didn’t have any of that and it was just so different so when they were telling me this I’m like I’m not gluten sensitive I’m chemical sensitive that’s really what this is all about and I really do think that I think that our food I mean this is like preventative imagine how much healthier we could be and what that does to the health care system overall when we start shifting our focus on treating things after the fact and we start being more preventative and with health care our system is totally backwards our friends over at the burn a gun burn a gun byrna just so you understand how it’s spelled i’m always going to tell people to carry i’m always going to tell you to carry lead and i have zero issues at all whatsoever using lethal force to smack down a threat to me or my family. But I understand also that not everyone wants you to be safe. The people who pass these gun-free zones and gun control, they don’t care if you’re a statistic. They don’t care about your family. They don’t care if you live or die. They just want a virtue signal about this stuff. So this is where Burna Gun comes in because they understand certain places are disarming you legit. And we’re big kids. I would love to be able to pick and choose exactly where I go all the time, but I can’t. So as a result, a lot of my friends have gone out and gotten the Burna Gun, right? You always it’s good to have a diversified weapons array. You have blades, you have different calibers with something like this when you are disarmed and you’re not able to carry in certain spaces. This comes in clutch. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And instead of like one or two rounds, like a traditional taser or something, this is five rounds. They have several different models, the CL, which we’ll be talking about soon.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 16 :
So while we were talking to Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas House was being very, very busy. What did they do? They just passed a giant corporate welfare package to keep property taxes high, per Brian Harrison, and explode the size of government. Let’s get him on tomorrow to talk about this. This is unbelievable. A $2 billion surplus. Remember how Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that that was going to go to pay down? The government regulation, like taxes, the property taxes. Now it’s not going to. If you want to drive people out of the state of Texas, this is how you do it. Texas, I will move my ass out of Texas. I am not joking. They either get a handle on it. You rat bastards in the Texas legislature. Or maybe I’ll show up on your damn doorsteps. You think that you got to be afraid of the left? You wait until you piss off the right. Bunch of commie. I can’t say what I think of them. This enrages me. Absolutely enrages me. I want to know every single one of these heifers that voted for this. Every one of them. All right, we got more. I’m coming back to this after the break. Also, that’s why we were talking. What happened? While we were having the conversation, a man allegedly rips out a stranger’s eye in a random attack after the… I mean, this is crazy. This was in Arizona. The victim’s eyeball was dangling from a socket. Daniel Links was arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault after allegedly ripping out a stranger’s eye. The 38-year-old also punched the unidentified victim several times, fracturing his jaw. He’s being held in Maricopa County Jail on a half a million dollar bond. It was an unprovoked attack. And the victim, all he said was, hey, how you doing? As he passed by, as people do, you know, and he just lost it and went at him. Links had just literally been released from jail two days prior. And yeah, that’s why. I mean, he like literally stuck his fingers in the guy’s eye socket and pulled it out like like like Kill Bill. It was like a Kill Bill episode. Unbelievable. And let’s see. Oh, that was a bad story. Oh, apparently HBO, this is a whole other issue. They’re going to have to apologize for what is being called blackwashing. Severus Snape. They decided to do, well, they’re really messing up Harry Potter. We’re going to talk about this some more coming up. Stick with us. So let’s be real. Medical freedom isn’t just a catchphrase.

SPEAKER 16 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour. And of course, you can listen terrestrially all across the country. And we got the simulcast kicking at Channel 347, DirecTV, X, Facebook, everywhere. One of my favorite people in all of music. She’s been on the show before. It is. I mean, I checked off like at least three buckets on my bucket list when she first came on my show. I wore a T-shirt with her face on it when I was in high school. I mean, I was like and still am mega fan, like one of the originals and just an OG icon. And I think everybody else is a pale imitation. I really do believe that. Cherie Curry, who is the the front woman for the Runaways, an artist in her own right. She’s a sculptor with chainsaw. She’s like the Michelangelo of chainsaws. So add that onto the resume. You know, she’s got Boulevard to Splendor. She’s still out there making music, kicking ass, taking names. And she joins us now via Skype because she is also, as you all are aware, like truly punk rock and that she is an open conservative when it is so dangerous still for artists to be such and to be vocal about it. And she just in a true like punk rock, hardcore fashion doesn’t care. And she’s fist in the air about it. My sister in conservatism joins me now. Cherie, so good to see you, my friend.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, Dana, I was going to say my sister in conservatism. Oh, I love you so much. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for having me. Always you.
SPEAKER 16 :
I miss you on television all the time. I so appreciate it. Thank you. My thank you, my friend. You I wanted to ask you this and I’m going to get into because you had tweeted about something that Nancy Wilson had said. But but to start with. I feel like more people very slowly, especially artists, because it’s dangerous. You’re in a discipline where you have to be vulnerable anyway. And that’s like part of the appeal of the art. You are vulnerable. You’re putting yourself out there. And yet. At the same time, so many like yourself, it’s hard to be an open conservative in what you do or just even speak out as a constitutionalist or speak out in favor of lower taxes or just not being terrorized because of a car that you drive. Is it easier now because more people seem a little bit more comfortable with at least talking about it and being a conservative? Or do you think it’s harder because it does sort of feel like the remaining very far left? they’re more violent, louder, more leftier. I don’t know how to put it. It’s like, there’s like a trade-off. How does it feel from your perspective?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, you know, you and I are so similar, Dana, because I’ve never really given a rusty rat, if you get it. I mean, it’s like all I know is that I’ve had all this time, you know, to really see what’s going on. I read Agenda 21 from 1992 from Rio. I knew what they were up to. I actually thought they were going to be doing it during Obama administration. I just, I honestly… The Tesla stuff, to me, I’m kind of glad because it just shows how insane they have become. And honest to God, I mean, I’ve never met a Republican conservative that is a violent person, that is nasty. I mean, we just- I found my niche, and now we’re just surrounded by a bunch of crazy people that, honestly, I mean, to see Tesla, which was number one, everybody wanted a Tesla on the left. Now they’re destroying these, I mean, they’re Looney Tunes, sister, they’re Looney Tunes. I agree. I mean, are you kidding me? I have no problem saying you’re a nutcase, baby.
SPEAKER 16 :
Take a hike. I think anybody that would think that Cherie would be scared at all. They I mean, again, she carves things with chainsaws. Maybe just find somebody with not that hobby. Find like, you know, somebody who crochets. Maybe. I don’t know. Talking with our good friend Cherie Curry. So Nancy Wilson. I read this write up where she was doing an interview with Milwaukee Sentinel. And, you know, I love heart. I you know, I I always like I always thought Nancy Wilson is a great guitar player. I and I it I don’t I don’t demand that people whose art I enjoy share my viewpoints. But I don’t want to feel like I’m an enemy while I’m trying to enjoy what they’re doing. I don’t want to feel like the person originating that. The music or the film or whatever hates me. And I was reading this piece where she was talking about the 70s. And she said, quote, we were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War. And then she added, to be as subtle as possible, it’s more embarrassing now. And you had something to say about it. And you said anyone embarrassed to be an American during the splendid government evisceration is out of touch with the American people. I don’t know. What is there to be embarrassed about?
SPEAKER 15 :
well she hasn’t been out in the world dana and i will tell you it had to it was probably a year ago i mean i live alone and uh so i only have to worry about myself and my son here and there but i went to ralph’s it’s a supermarket chain out here and i literally walked in there and i looked at the prices and i i mean i i had a panic attack for the families because i mean i can handle you know, taking care of me. But families, I knew that they were not going to be able to do this. And it just shot through me like a lightning bolt. I was so fearful. And I honestly believe people like Nancy, like, you know, and even Joan, Joan Jett, you know, she was wearing a Kamala pin when she was on stage. I don’t blame them because I I watched what happened and the change that happens when people become very big stars and they have so much money and they’ve got their assistants. They don’t go to the supermarket. They don’t live real lives like we do. And so I have to give them a little bit of a break there. So I just find them blissfully unaware and naive. And it truly does insult me a little bit. that they don’t think about the people that buy their records and buy tickets to their concerts or buy tickets to see their movies, that they don’t really jump in and see what we’ve been going through. It has been horrendous. And that’s the sad part is that All I know is that if I had that kind of wealth, the one thing I would want to do is more like Elon Musk, just to really find out what is going on. Why are the American people in such trouble? Why are they suffering so much? What can I do to help? I never see that. I only see opinions. And then they go back to their mansions and tell their assistants to go out and do their $1,000 shopping. It just- Yeah, it’s just two different worlds. Really, really two different worlds.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it is very much so. We’re talking with our good friend Sheree Curry about the nature of the political sentiment and the political environment right now. And whenever I watch, because I always, you know, I watch award shows. I’ll watch the Oscars because I like to see, you know, I like the old school like pomp and circumstance of it. Like I love watching. This is like, I’m making me sound like a weirdo. I love watching like old award shows that you can find on YouTube where it’s like goes back into like the 50s and the 40s because it was, oh my gosh, the great, I mean, you’re celebrating the artistry. And there was such a respect for the audience. Yeah. And there’s this marked difference. There was I mean, they were so it was done for the audience. There were movies made for the audience. The everybody was grateful and they’re thanking the audience, not just the Academy. And it just felt like the audience as a viewer, as a moviegoer, as an appreciator of the craft, you were part of it as well. Now it’s like it’s just very hostile and it’s all about making a political difference. stance. Every time somebody goes up on stage, I’m like, what, what is this going to be like? What, what are we going to, what ranting are we going to get? It has changed so much. How does that affect you when you’re creating? I, that has to be a, like a heavy weight that seems like it doesn’t, does it chill your, does it chill you wanting to, to make art? I would just be demotivated. I would, I would not be motivated. I don’t think.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I’m not motivated to be in this business anymore, as you know. But as far as movies are concerned, I mean, literally they have their little group and we ain’t in it, sister.
SPEAKER 16 :
We’re not the cool kids, although we are really.
SPEAKER 15 :
We’re not the cool kids. and beyond yes we are we truly are uh because we’re the warriors you know they they’re just mouthpieces and uh i mean i just can’t watch those award shows because i don’t want to hear it because i know that what they’re going to say does not even relate one iota to the american people and uh they really they need to take a step back and take a good hard look at their words and uh and how it affects the people that now will not buy those tickets and we’re just sick and tired of seeing these elites these mega rich superstars talking down to us when we’re the reason that they are stars and a lot of stars forget that they forget the fans yep you know i mean that’s why whenever i still do show i i go i mean if it wasn’t for the fans i wouldn’t be there yeah
SPEAKER 16 :
A couple of things to consider, because I feel like the younger generations, Gen Z, like the generation that that I’m raising, you know, Gen X is is really, I think, making Gen Z is going to be Gen X on steroids. I’m really feeling like that. They’re economically literate. They don’t want the baggage. They don’t want the drama. They’re actually more constitutional, apparently, according to numerous studies. I was watching these stories of, you know, Elon Musk and he’s got big balls. You know, the the the nerd who’s out who’s out there helping to cut and going through all this stuff, literally called himself that. I’m like, this is just the best time to be alive right now. And they’re all Gen Zers like he’s got all these Gen Z nerds working for him. And I say that not as a pejorative, like it’s a compliment. And then I’m reading these surveys. Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Watching Bret Baier last night. I mean, it’s just astonishing what they’re doing. Yes. And the fact that the Democrats are trying to stop this. I mean, we’re going bankrupt. We’re going bankrupt because of the waste and abuse and fraud.
SPEAKER 16 :
But Cherie, they’re telling you that they’re trying to save you money, which is the Republicans stealing your money. Exactly.
SPEAKER 15 :
I don’t think Elon Musk really gives a rusty rats about our social security numbers. He’s doing what nobody had the guts to do. And President Trump, we’ve never seen anything like it. It is the golden age. I’ve never seen anything like it. I just turned 65. And I have watched with my own two eyes, California, just go into the hole. Just my state that was so beautiful, you know, just a few decades ago.
SPEAKER 16 :
You can always come to Texas. We would love to have you here. I’m just laying it out there, you know, just laying it out there. We’re pretty great here in Texas, you know.
SPEAKER 15 :
I know you are. I know you are. It’s a dry heat.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m trying to get my son.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
fine as long as i can carve i don’t care there you go no that you the younger generation it feels like they because gen x apparently saved everybody during the election that gen x voted you know overwhelmingly republican this last election and voter turnout for gen x was pretty crazy voter turnout for gen z has was higher than previous youth votes are you encouraged by seeing this like what would you tell the younger generations
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m so, so encouraged and because to be honest, my son who is 34, he said that Trump was not gonna win and he is not a Trump supporter. So it’s been a little contentious, not for me, from him. But I think that the Democrats have just made it impossible for people not to see the insanity behind that party. They have lowered themselves to a level that I never expected, nor do I think is acceptable in any way, shape or form for our leaders to be, you know, Crockett, for her to be dancing with the you know, and also with the ridiculous cursing. I mean, this is not because that’s just a curse.
SPEAKER 16 :
You know, that’s what they’re thinking is the new punk rock. Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. I guess that’s what they think, but they’re wrong. And that’s the final word on it.
SPEAKER 16 :
If anybody can get the final word on it, it’s her.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s right. Yeah, they’re wrong. And it’s not going to work. And all I’m asking is just give it, just would you guys, especially the legacy media that is truly, I blame them for the Tesla dealership bombings and shootings. I mean, they put so much fear into people that What else can they do? They’re so helpless under these lies from the Democrat Party. I don’t blame them, especially with Social Security and Medicare. For them to be putting any kind of idea into these retirees that they’re going to lose those benefits. To me, they should be jailed for that because we’ve been through so much. I mean, and we’re very still raw from it. And the constant lies and people know, people know now that there are lies. It’s criminal. It really is criminal, isn’t it?
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s going to be a reckoning. It’s a slow coming, but there’s going to be a reckoning. Shuri Curry, always a pleasure. My dear sister in conservatism, you are welcome to bless this show, to grace these airwaves anytime you would like. We’re such huge fans.
SPEAKER 15 :
I love you, sister.
SPEAKER 16 :
Love you so much.
SPEAKER 01 :
Love you, girl.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good to see you. Have a great weekend. We’ll talk again soon. I’ve said for years now that our media is just garbage. Legacy Press is garbage.

Ground News can show you the stories and the sources of the day, and then they give you details about their sourcing, how reliable the reporting is and who owns them. and keep you fully informed on any potential political or motivational leanings. So, for instance, you could use Ground News to read about the Trump administration suing the state of Maine over participation of transgender athletes in girls’ sports. The Huffington Post said, quote, Trump’s newest political power grab is targeting Maine. The Toronto Sun said, quote, DOJ is to sue Maine over trans women competing in female sports. So same story, but two very different headlines. Is it a power grab by the president or is it in the hands of the DOJ?

I got to say, Lorraine knows how to share news with me. This is how you hook me. Want to see an octopus hitching a ride on a shark? Yes. Who doesn’t want to see that? I could watch that all day. So I did. Totally watched it. Welcome back to the program. So this is going to look up this because we got Congress. It’s going to be coming back and we’re going to have more fights on legislation. I love it. One other quick note about the tariffs. So the Italian wines could be affected. Italian wine exports to U.S. at a standstill. This is the only time I’ll feel affected. Only time I feel like it.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think it’ll change April 2nd, but whatever.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, I don’t even like the headline of it, but that’s okay. I don’t care about it.
SPEAKER 05 :
It makes you want to drink.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, I just, I’m not, you know, I’m like for with dinner, if I have like a red meat or if I like a red sauce, you know, I like to pair it, you know, I’m. You know, it’s like an extra sauce with it. I’m just saying. Sauce. They don’t put any of the stuff in their wines. I just like, I prefer Italian wines over even Napa. No lie. No lie. Because they’re just straight, no chaser. It’s just there’s no stuff that’s added to it. All right. I’m going to take up all your time because I did twice this week. Today in Stupidity Kings.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. It is, thank God, not our VP, Tim Walls. Tim Walz is here. He’s got an idea. Doge is working so well, apparently, on dismantling the shadow government. Tim Walz is calling for more shadow government. Listen to this.
SPEAKER 17 :
We see one of the first things they do is try and restrict the vote. This is one of the things, though, that this is going to take power to the streets. I don’t know what the answer is on this, but I’ve been saying this.
SPEAKER 04 :
What?
SPEAKER 17 :
I think we need a shadow government so when all these things come up every single day, we’ve got an alternate press conference.
SPEAKER 05 :
The brilliance of Tim Walz, everyone.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s a wonder why he didn’t win. Folks, that does it for us this week. Find us on Facebook, YouTube, Substack, like and subscribe. Have a great weekend. I’ll be back with you on Monday.

Absurd Truth: The Slap Heard ‘Round The World
