SPEAKER 05 :
More young lefties are embracing communism and actually believe it’s never really been tried. Joy Reid exposes the right’s dastardly secret that it wants less taxes and regulation.

SPEAKER 08 :
This is worthy of note. Both California Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla are gleeful about this government shutdown. They agree with Chuck Schumer when he said very candidly just a few days ago, every day of the shutdown gets better for us. Who’s the us? He’s talking about Democrats. He thinks this is assisting their party and giving him political cover so he doesn’t attract a Marxist challenger in his next Senate re-elect.
SPEAKER 20 :
This is the eighth vote that they’ve had. The eighth vote that they’ve had. It’s not going to happen. Not going to happen. So that’s Mike Johnson telling you everything right now, all of the latest with the shutdown, because we’re still in a we’re still in a state of shutdown. And I’m totally OK with it because it’s not candid. I just feel like I don’t know. Although I hear I hear what. Other people have said that sometimes the most dangerous part is when everything else is shut down because there’s a lot of things that can kind of get shoved under the door, so to speak. So I get that. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. A very allergen-induced Texas Wednesday. Kane and I are on the struggle bus. Some of you sound like this because allergens. You know why? It’s because Texas is beating us all to death with pollen. juniper cedar in particular we’re dying right now so we’re it looks like it literally looks like moisture on a radar there’s so much pollen in the air we’re uh so please pray for kane and i so this is fyi uh all right so where to start um with the shutdown eighth now the eighth Vote. I don’t see it actually happening, if I’m being real. I don’t think they’re going to get it done. And I’m totally okay with that, honestly. Nothing’s changed since when we talked about this yesterday. Not a single thing has changed. In the meantime, you saw Presidential Medal of Freedom yesterday. Erica Kirk was there and the newly renovated Rose Garden. They gave the medal out. And then the other thing that we’re looking at is the No Kings thing coming up this weekend. They’re still going with that, the no kings thing. So they’re having, I mean, it’s obviously very organized. I guess they’re doing like scene stir protests that are coming up on Saturday. I was looking at some of their, I guess you can call it their advertising on it. He’s a really bad king because he doesn’t act like a king. I mean, I don’t know how you can see everything that happened with the peace deal. and everything else and think that somehow this is a no-kings. That’s very interesting for people who put literal crowns on Barack Obama. That’s fascinating for people who literally chose their last Democrat Party nominee for president by, I mean, literally they just selected her. They didn’t even have the primary caucus process in the Democrat side to pick Kamala Harris. I mean, it was it was a coronation. That’s all it was. So that’s so ironic for the people who picked their last candidate via coronation to go on and say, well, you know, we don’t it’s a no kings. We want no king. It’s fascinating to me. I find that fascinating. So this I just think, too, if there were even if he was even remotely close to that, why would you have so much litigation over every single policy that he tries to introduce? I mean, every policy. There’s just there’s how many lawsuits are there? I mean, there’s more than I can count, more than we can almost keep up with. There’s there’s infinity lawsuit every single time, every single time he does something. I’m just saying if if he were a king, I think that the Antifa and some of the other Islamist entities would have already had classifications that I mean, again, the no kings from the party. Speaking of that, that put parents on watch list because they spoke out in school board meetings that. These are the people who are going after the Catholics. They were going after the Jewish people. They were going after everybody. I mean, come on. I just think this is so goofy. Who’s seriously running with this stuff? I got to tell you, any of my remaining lefty friends that go to this cringe-tastic ridiculousness over the weekend on Facebook, I’m going to have to get rid of them, Cain, because it’s just cringey. I mean, you got Big Tish committing mortgage fraud up there, and they’re protecting her. You got a Nepo baby whose mom directed his failed rap video. Who is running for mayor in New York? I mean, we’re talking about kings, not even running. I mean, that’s just a long coronation process also. I mean, these are people who never once questioned who is actually signing these bills under Joe Biden. They never actually questioned who was president, but they all know one Joe Biden. So spare me the nonsense about no kings because y’all y’all treat all of your leaders like that. Just it’s asinine. So a few things. In addition to that, hopefully it’s not going to happen anywhere near you and your traffic won’t be affected because I’m going to tell you, I see blocked roads and I just want to go faster. You’re not going to arrest me and kidnap me if I’m not able to move. That’s you’re kidnapping me. That’s how I look at it. And I will fight to defend my life. So that’s how I look at it. So we see a couple of Hamas, obviously not violating or not honoring the terms of their deal, as is right now. I think that they’ve had enough time. Personally, I think that Trump should just say, well. I’m not going to sit here and pick over every single facet of your actions. So, Israel, you do what you need to do. If you’re going to take that strip over, take it over to hell with everybody else. These people had their time. Look, Arab nations, the Qataris better get their fat blanketed asses over there to Gaza. and tell the rest of these Hamas leaders, stop it. Drag them out by their hair if you have to. Otherwise, turn the damn thing to glass. Done with it. This has gone on for so damn long, I’m tired of talking about it. I am tired of talking about it. All these people urging caution. To hell with your caution. Buy the ticket, take the ride. So if they’re not going to honor every aspect of the deal, POTUS said, well, if they’re going to if they won’t disarm, we’ll disarm them violently. Yes, I agree with that. Disarm them violently. Disarm them in front of their families. Emasculate them in front of their fat, burk and carrying women and their proud terrorist children. Go ahead and do all of that stuff. All for it. Tired of this. This is stupid. We went through this whole thing. POTUS was very nice about it. For all your faults with him or for everyone else’s objections to him, you can’t object to this. I thought it was very well played, very well negotiated. Why not follow through? Oh, because they want to hold on. Because the problem is them. They’re chaos agents. They are the problem. That’s the issue. Audio sound by three. POTUS said this yesterday, and I don’t think he’s playing. Listen. Now cut three.
SPEAKER 18 :
How long will it take Hamas to disarm? And can you guarantee that it’s going to happen?
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, they’re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm. And if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them.
SPEAKER 12 :
How will you do that?
SPEAKER 23 :
I don’t have to explain that to you. But if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. They know I’m not playing games.
SPEAKER 20 :
You know what that reminded me of? We can’t play it because YouTube is a butt wagon and they’ll remove it. So I don’t know. We ought to just let the first deal with it. But Dalton from Roadhouse. Remember that infamous scene? I mean, it’s one of the best films that’s ever, ever been made. You know, it’s just really it’s an Oscar worthy picture, Kane. It’s a it’s a it’s a go picture. It’s a go picture, you know. So when Dalton was telling everyone, look, be nice. When somebody needs to be walked, walk him. If you can’t walk him by yourself, ask one of us and we will help you walk him. And be nice. But he says also, be nice until it’s time to not be nice. And so that sounds like that’s what Trump is saying here. So I feel like as though that is, that’s, at some point, I think that order is going to have to change. That’s going to that order is going to have to be given. I really do think that really do think that. So we’ll keep we’ll keep an eye on all of that. Also, in addition to the no king stuff, the ongoing homage, we’re going to get into some of the domestic stuff. We’ve got Democrats and Republicans, the Politico article, all that kind of stuff. Fall has a way of making you slow down and indulge in the comforts of home, swapping busy summer days for quiet weekends and cozy evenings with your favorite shows and restorative self-care rituals. You didn’t think it could get any better until Bull & Branch turned your bed into a sanctuary of comfort with the softest, most extraordinary bedding for crisp fall nights. So the first night you put them on your bed, you’re going to be able to tell right away. I mean, mine are soft, cool, and they have a great weight. It feels like a five-star hotel room in your own house. And these sheets, they get better with time. So I’ve washed mine over and over again and they just keep getting softer. Try that with cheap sheets because they just fall apart and they pill. Bowl and branch gets more luxurious after time. So there’s no way you’re gonna go back to your old flimsy sheets. Start building your sanctuary of comfort this fall with bowl and branch. And for a limited time, get 20% off your first set of sheets plus free shipping.
SPEAKER 03 :
Is illegal immigration actually breaking emergency care? Illegal immigrants are going to the ER for non-emergencies like cold and flu because they have to get treated. What was meant for true emergencies has turned into a system overwhelmed.

SPEAKER 16 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 20 :
What? Protein powders and shakes are reportedly containing high levels of lead, says Consumer Reports. I’m actually very interested in what women’s cosmetics facial powder, the lead in that and other stuff. Anyway, they’re saying protein supplements are wildly popular, but Consumer Reports tested 23 products. Two thirds of them contain more lead than it’s safe to have in a day. Can I be honest about something? I don’t care. You know, I’m just, I’m not into it. I don’t care. I mean, I like protein powder. I don’t care. Do you care, Cain? I’m sure you do. I just, you know, I… I’m sorry, I eat animal protein.
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t do protein powder.
SPEAKER 20 :
What?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t do protein powder. Oh, and I got something else to share with you about whey protein from the NIH. We’re going to fight on break. We can get into that if you want.
SPEAKER 20 :
We’re going to fight on break. This guy over here. I’m surprised you don’t have your little kombucha tea out that you’re doing your little thing.
SPEAKER 16 :
I haven’t drank that in a while, actually.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah. They said that two-thirds, blah, blah. I’m not going to get into the list of them because I don’t care. I don’t care about any of that. I don’t care about the colors in food. I just don’t like the preservatives in that. Yeah, that’s where I do draw a line. I mean, I’m half joking and half not. There’s just so many things for people to be upset about. I’m tired of being upset about everything. Can we just wake up for one damn day and be like, wow, look at that. There’s nothing to be upset about today. Wow. What are we going to do with all this time? I don’t know. You know what people will do? They’ll find something else. They’ll work earnestly to find something to get upset about. Yeah, that’s, you know, we don’t need to be that way. Satellites are leaking the world’s secrets. Calls text military corporate data. That’s not good. Yeah, it’s not good at all. This story has gone bye-bye, though. Let’s see. The average new car price tops $50,000 for the first time ever as Americans shift to horrible, crappy EVs. And I’m sorry, if your car is half electric, it’s not a luxury model. It’s a piece of garbage. It is garbage. Does that make you feel better about it? Garbage. I want gas and oil. I want to feel like my car’s door is so heavy that it’ll kill me and that my car could explode from all the gas and oil that’s in it. God bless gas and oil. It is God’s juice. Done with it. Not even messing. So yeah, it’s because everybody’s buying these super ridiculously expensive EVs. Rich people will find a way to make a luxury item out of something. Just give them, let them cook. Give them a second. And Trump threatens China with cooking oil embargo over the soybean snub. They’ll find some gross way to get cooking oil over there. Watch. Stick with us. We’ve got more in store.

That was yesterday at the Capitol. Bunch of Democrats. Do they even know where they’re walking? Because they have their phones up. They have no idea where they’re going. They just all put their phones up. They’re upset. They got into a little bit of a tiffy there. They’re trying to… They’re swearing in to… They’re accusing him of not swearing and… another lawmaker to avoid who knows what. I don’t know. The government shut down. You guys won’t vote for anything. So don’t expect to get what you want when you won’t vote to pass the CR that you had no, all y’all had no problems voting for. I think it’s fine that the Republicans are playing hardball for once. I’m actually surprised that they’ve stuck to it this long. Kane, aren’t you? I’m actually really shocked that they’ve stuck with it as long as they have, because every day I keep waiting. OK, how are we going to deal with this? They’re going to cave because the last time that they didn’t was back in 2010. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re at the bottom of this first hour. The chat’s at Rumble. You can also watch the radio program, Channel 347, DirecTV. No, that’s not when you guys don’t work with us and you don’t pass the CR. We’re not going to give you anything else. What do you think this is? I mean, if you want to play no Kings, we’ll show you how that works. Don’t tempt me with a good time. My gosh. I mean, please don’t. But I like that they’re holding the ground on this. I have to tell you, it’s weird. Isn’t it? I’m not used to the feeling of… satisfaction by the way that they’re handling this narrative war from the media. And I’m so used to being disappointed with the GOP on this that I don’t quite know what to do with myself here, to be honest with you, because this usually in the past, this is already dissolved into whining and cowardness. It’s very interesting. So they’re doing well on this. They got to keep it up because at some point Democrats are going they’re going to have to they’re going to have to break. And all it is, is they are they have to affirm what they’ve previously spent. And this also comes on Chuck Schumer. This is more of a reflection on the Democrat leadership than it is really on Republicans in the past. And I think that this goes to show you how much influence. Schumer and really Pelosi have lost. And I don’t know if I don’t think it’s so much a measure of Hakeem Jeffries influence because Hakeem Jeffries comes from the more the very progressive side of things. Right. He comes from this very progressive side of it. And he’s just a super far leftist. So this is just a reflection of who the party is. But at some point, It’s going to cost them, whether it’s a special election or something, or they’re going to start seeing the polling reverse. And you’re already seeing how close it is in New Jersey and in Virginia and some of these other places. They’re going to realize that it’s better for them to make their their base angry. than it is to further alienate independents and moderates. And that’s the difficult position they’re in. That’s what they’re trying to weigh right now. They don’t want to have this alienation of the people that they can’t win elections without. And quite frankly, the super far left, hyper progressive faction of their base, those people don’t reliably go vote. That’s something that’s backed up by, I mean, decades of data. They don’t go vote. They just don’t. The super far left ones, they don’t vote. They’re fine with being pictured at rallies and doing all of this other stuff, but they don’t ever vote. I remember, in fact, I was going and looking at this last night and some of the previous exit poll data. And it’s always whenever they ask you, you know, how do you identify? Are you in job approval? All this stuff. They use all of these factors to determine votes. where you are on the scale in terms of how far left you are. And it’s always the people who are furthest left, the people who think that, you know, the Bernie Sanders is of the world are acceptable that, yeah, socialism is great and willingly identify themselves as this. They’re the ones who actually don’t go and reliably vote. And they’ll say they don’t vote consistently. So they’ll vote. It’s always a tiny percentage in all of the exit poll data. And then when you look at and that’s obviously when you’re leaving a polling place. And then when you look at registered voters as opposed to likely voters, likely voters, they talk a very good game and they always make up a very good percentage of those surveyed. But then when it comes to reconciling that with the number of actual people who go and cast ballots, it’s never fair. evenly represented. I mean, it’s so disproportionate. It’s wild. They don’t go and reliably vote in the same manner that the youth, when they always talk about rock the vote, when I was growing up in school and they were all MTV and everybody else, we just, they didn’t go on vote. They don’t go on vote. So it’s this, and I don’t know, it’s not because they typically skew younger, which that’s part of it, but that’s not the whole reason. It’s just, I think they’re lazy. I think the hallmark of being that far left is you are lazy AF. And they just don’t go vote. I think that’s pretty accurate. Can you agree? What’s weird to me is that they’ll get up and go to rallies and they’ll go and block walk. But I think it’s because they want to be seen. But God forbid they get up and go cast. I mean, I’m happy. Don’t read me wrong. I’m happy that they don’t. Long story short, Democrat leadership has got to figure out you can’t win both those factions. There’s no way you can carry the far left and the independents and moderates because the independents and moderates already think you’re freaks. They don’t want anything to do with people who don’t even know what a vagina is. They’re freaking out. They don’t want anything to do with these people who want to tax them to death. Man, Donnie’s freaking everyone out. I’m telling you, I’m talking to people that I work with in the industry that are not on the other side of the camera. They’re the ones who do the math and do the legal and all of that stuff. And a lot of the representation that I work with is either in LA or New York. And they’re all like, it’s very rare to not find people who are super far left. But even the people who are in that industry, they’re freaking out over Donnie. They’re freaking out over Katie Porter. They’re freaking out over all these people. They’re like, wait a minute, we’re Democrats, but we’re not like that. That’s the most common refrain that I’m hearing. And they’re kind of sitting on their hands waiting to see what leadership does. I’ve heard this so much from people. So when they get to that point, I think Democrats are going to cave. And that’s what Republicans are driving them to is that point. A few other things. I wanted to. So there’s more stuff about this Baldwin crash that we talked about yesterday. So we had this story where Alec Baldwin was with his brother and he ran into a tree with his wife’s Land Rover. Wow. And his story about it was weird. He was saying that he first off, he was describing a literal average run of the mill garbage truck, like the garbage truck that goes around my neighborhood looks just like that. The garbage truck in Kane’s neighborhood and Juan’s neighborhood looks just like it. It’s literally your average garbage truck. I’ve seen them in St. Louis City when we lived downtown, and I’ve seen them in Dallas. I mean, it is just a basic garbage truck. And the reason I’m spending so much time telling you this is because Alec Baldwin described it as, I’ve never seen anything like it. I guess it was a garbage truck. I guess it was a giant commercialized garbage truck. And he was freaking out. And he was trying to set up this elaborate story that this garbage truck cut him off. And that’s why he ran into a tree. Now, of course, the company is going to respond to something like this. Because if you’re talking like that and you’re trying to do all of that in public to blame it on the other guy, they’re probably smelling maybe a potential lawsuit. Like, is he going to sue us? Or is the property owner going to sue us for property damage? They don’t want to be associated with that. So now they’re firing back. And when you watch the video, which we showed you yesterday, to me, because it shows the front… the front of the trash truck, like they have a camera there and when they were driving and you, the truck is driving like normal. And then Baldwin’s Range Rover at the very end, you see it fly up. Juan’s getting the video ready for you. Now you see it fly up on the side and then it runs right into the tree. So this is the front. This is the, this is the front of the trash truck. And you see, they’re just going down the road, right? The roads are wet. It looks like everybody’s driving pretty slow and they pull over here and then watch. Boom. There’s Baldwin. Okay. Now, what does that look like to you? It looks like, A, he’s driving so fast that he can’t control his car. That is, I bet you that the speed limit on that road, because the houses on either side are so close, that’s probably, what, 30, 35 speed limit right there going through that residential area. I’d be shocked if it was over 40. The way that Baldwin so recklessly pulled. Now, it’s a trash truck. Trash trucks are usually out on trash day. I’m assuming that they’re picking up trash. This is a Wednesday. When did this happen? On a Monday. That’s probably trash day for them. And it seems to me like he was probably driving recklessly close, recklessly fast. That truck didn’t cut him off. He just couldn’t stop. And it seemed like he was trying to pass like that little road right there on the right. That’s where he flew. It looks to me like he was trying to pass him on the shoulder. I don’t know how else that happens. Now, the company’s hitting back because Baldwin was blaming the trucker for this. And the cops, they said that footage was contradicting his version of events. They said that it appeared on the right side of the vehicle. There was no emergency lane, nothing like that. And the truck had completed. The truck didn’t cut anybody off. I don’t understand why. The only way that he could be cut off is if he’s trying to go on the shoulder. And maybe the truck was going to allow him to pass. I don’t know. You’re not going to get the truth from Baldwin. But they one of the residents said that the stretch of road, they do have a lot of accidents in the neighborhood. But she said this is what she said. She goes, I wish I had a dollar for the times that I’ve seen people on their cell phones distracted driving out here. We joke that it’s like a sport now, but it’s actually quite serious. She said it wouldn’t surprise me if he was distracted. I don’t. I think it’s probably maybe some of his temper, but clearly you can see the truck isn’t cutting anybody off. And the Daily Mail went out and was speaking to people that lived in the area and they were totally not at all surprised that he was involved in another accident. Just got to find, you know, nobody was injured, but they’re disputing his version of events because it sounded like he was really trying to blame them. Here’s the other thing. I don’t know why he felt like he needed to address it. in a video. What is this obsession that people have? Let me run to my camera, pointed at myself. And you know, I’m going to just, what, what, if I was an attorney, I would be telling him to just shut your stupid mouth. If I was a crisis, uh, uh, uh, PR in, in public relations and dealt with crisis management, I would say, dude, you’re not even out of the Helena Hutchins tornado yet. Just shut your stupid, shut your mouth. There’s no reason. And he was agitated in the video that he recorded. So I believe him less with all of this stuff now. But if this was anybody else, I didn’t seem like they administered a DUI examination to him. I would have done that. Who drives like that? It’s very interesting. I was talking to someone who actually lives. They emailed the show. And they don’t live on that road, but they live in that area. And they were saying that, you know, obviously you get a lot of rainfall in the fall and in the spring and people just drive slow. And that it there was it looked like he was just dissatisfied with the speed and tried to showboat it and pass him on the right. Very interesting. But this that couple or maybe he was mad because his wife got cut from Dancing with the Stars. I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe. We all need relief factor. I need to take relief factor just to deal with the nonsense that I was just sharing with you. I’m going to gobble up a whole entire bag. And just maybe that’ll help. It’s 100% drug-free. I mean, I’m not suggesting that you do it, but maybe you should. Maybe you need it. So relief factor, look, you can sit here and complain and moan, aches and pains, blah, blah, blah.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States.
SPEAKER 17 :
I saw your voicing Professor Umbridge in the new Harry Potter audiobooks. I was wondering, are you aware that some fans are calling for a boycott, giving J.K. Rowling’s ongoing campaign against trans people?
SPEAKER 21 :
I was not aware of that, no. I’m very sorry. You know, I think we’re all living in a period of time right now where we’re all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren’t we? And we’ve all got very different opinions. So I hope that we can all… find respect.
SPEAKER 20 :
I don’t. What’s the problem with what she said? People are getting upset with Keira Knightley for some reason. I think she’s lovely. And that’s a stupid question to ask. But she was being very nice about it. She’s doing the voice of Dolores Umbridge in the audio book of Rowling’s book series. So James McAvoy, Kit Harington, Simon Pegg, Matt Berry, who’s very good. And I think people are trying to get there again these people wake up they’re so miserable these people live such miserable lives they take joy and being miserable to everybody and they’re just trying to find someone that they can get upset with and they’re picking now they’re trying to pick her And so she was doing this interview with this, I’m not just cider, this lame publication. And they’re asking her this question. And, you know, she kind of laughs about it. And they’re saying, oh, she laughed. Can you believe she laughed? And can you believe she said she didn’t know? Because she’s not a loser like you people. She doesn’t sit around here and do burn book mean girl style and figure out who’s fighting with who. And quite honestly, these people are getting upset over J.K. Rowling. Shut the hell up. No one cares about your stupid opinions. OK, you have not even contributed one artistic anything remotely. close to the level of artistry that she has given to the arts and entertainment community. These people are mad. They’re trying to force compliance with their cosplay. If they were truly happy, they would just live their lives content with how they view themselves. But that’s not enough because their problem is inward, not outward. They want to force all of you, everyone else to affirm their cosplay. And if you don’t, you, not they insanely in their view are the bigot. It’s insane. These are actions of insane people. Make mental institutions great again. And to go after her for it, I thought she handled that idiotic question wonderfully. I would not have been as nice. She handled it very nicely, I thought. She was very calm and chill, and she was very respectful with her opinions. How can you get mad over saying, well, we all have different opinions, so I hope that we can all find respect? Well, I’m mad. That’s what these people are saying. They’re mad at her for saying that everyone has opinions and that we should all be respectful of people’s opinions, which I don’t think you should be, but I even think she’s too nice there. If your opinion’s stupid, I have no respect for it. No one is owed respect for an opinion. You aren’t owed respect. At most, you are owed indifference. That is it. You’re not owed anything else but indifference. So she’s even very nice there. But as Juan correctly notes, they want her to pick a side. Mm-hmm. What team are you on? They want her to put the jersey on what team they’re trying to determine. See, they’re sniffing you out like some jackbooted thugs. They’re sniffing you out. That’s what she’s not. She’s removing herself from that. She’s not playing that. I always find it interesting. You have some lowly reporter who probably eats cat food and can’t make ends meet because they decided they wanted to major and get a job in a completely unrealistic dying industry. And so they ask someone who is infinitely more talented and more successful a stupid question like this. And that is a way to elevate their own profile and maybe gain wider acceptance and larger and more ascended professional circles. They decide to stoke a witch hunt like this. It’s stupid. So good on her for giving, not really, but rhetorically kind of a middle finger to this. We have more on the way. Second hour coming. Stick with us.

SPEAKER 19 :
I said President Trump is the worst president in American history for America’s children. He’s taking food out of their mouths with the SNAP program, health care away from them, education, children with special needs. just reducing the number of people who work there from over 100 to barely 20 for children with special needs. And he’s, on top of it all, giving them $4 trillion in national debt to pay for.
SPEAKER 20 :
Actually, that was y’all. Y’all wanted to add like a trillion. How much do they want to add to their CR? And that’s why they won’t pass it.
SPEAKER 09 :
1.5 trillion.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah. Nancy Pelosi. Can I just sidebar? Because this is why you guys tune in in the first place. Ladies, do a fit check on your… a tone check on your outfits. Not everyone can wear the same red. Some of you need a cool-toned red. Some of you need a warm-toned red, because otherwise it makes you look harsh, and it brings out the rosaciousness of your cheeks naturally, and it doesn’t look great. And it just looks… I just don’t like that harsh… It’s like two of an orange-red. And with the lipstick, it’s just way too much. Sorry. You know, pick one or the other. This is why you tune in to me. Joan Rivers was an icon. I’m sorry. This is… I can’t deal with the red. And then it’s like, what, more of a ruddy jacket and then a bright red top? Men, it’s OK. Your wives get it. It’s all right. I just was so distracted. I’m like, what in the ever loving? Oh, my gosh, is that that’s. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. Top of this second hour. He hates kids so much. Is that why they decide to get a 300 million dollar? They were given a 300 million dollar infusion from the I don’t even agree with this, by the way. But I’m just saying, be accurate. They got $300 million from the administration so that they didn’t run out of money from the shutdown. The SNAP program, the Women, Infants, and Children program, all of it, they got that they found a creative solution to use tariff revenues to keep the program afloat. And literally by Thursday of last week, there were states already receiving money from this. And the Intertribal Council of Nevada said, You know, that’s because you have the indigenous Americans that Democrats pretend to care so much about that they rounded them up, their hero, Andrew Jackson, against the Supreme Court order and put them on the trail of genocide on unworthy, valueless government land until they realized that they were mineral rights and gas and oil. And then they tried to fleece them even further and they don’t allow most of them to own their own property. Those Democrats. Yeah. So the Intertribal Council of Nevada actually reported that after they had closed their office because they were running out of money, they reopened it because they had more money. And again, I don’t even agree with this. But to say that he’s shutting these programs is just such a despicable lie. Can you just tell the truth? You can’t tell the truth because you look bad for it, right? You look real bad. Let’s talk. You want to talk about taking money out of people’s hands, out of their pockets, food out of the mouths. Let’s talk about the trillion dollars that Democrats wanted to spend. No joke. No exaggeration. on illegal immigrants coming in. They wanted those people who were coming into the country illegally, they wanted to reward them by allowing them to have the access to healthcare benefits that we all pay for with our tax dollars. And they wanted to spend more of your money and basically spend you and your children and grandchildren further into debt by paying them off to make that happen. So let’s have that real conversation because that’s stupid. Why in the hell would you go out and say something like this knowing that there was a $300 million cash infusion That literally prevented everything that she just said. And by the way, it’s not the fault of Republicans that are doing this. It’s the fault of Democrats that are doing this. They passed this damn bill a million times. They just don’t want to pass it again because they don’t want to give Trump a win, even if that means they were to actually make other people go hungry. So there you go. And again, I don’t even believe in government entitlements like this. I don’t support him at all. Not at all. But that’s dumb for her to say what she just said. It’s not even remotely true. It’s just a blatant lie. So I don’t know. They’re going to keep doing this and going back and forth on it. I’m just saying it’s not going to work out well. And this is the thing I’m talking about. You can’t – you’re not going to lie to people about this stuff. And I don’t think that it’s – I don’t think that they’re going to win this narrative war and they’re going to have to cave. I wanted to show this thread. I had this in my – last hour, but I wanted to move it, moving it over here. So there’s new data out that shows that trans identification is in free fall amongst younger people. That is pretty significant because I think it’s a social contagion completely. It very much is a social contagion. This is a fascinating piece. And I was reading about it. The study that they have, and the Washington Times has more on this. They had written up this study that it’s just absolutely nosedived. The trend in identifying as trans. It’s in a free fall. Now, Maybe if it was really a biological thing, I don’t think that you would be worried about the free-fallingness of it, would you? I mean, if it’s science, it’s science, right? Golly, the pop-ups are crazy. Stop it. The… Basically, what they’re concluding is that the identification is, quote, going out of fashion. The percentage of university students who do not identify as male or female, it said it plunged from 2023 to 2025 in three of the five surveys. And this is a professor at the University of Birmingham in England. and the director of the Center for Social Science, Heterodox Social Science. They said trans, queer, and bisexual identities are in rapid decline among young, educated Americans. The report is titled The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity Among Young Americans. It was released yesterday. Now, the data, they’re talking about the… Yeah, right. The drop in trans identities. This is really what I was getting ready to say. The timing is very interesting. Kane, what has been one of the, speaking of trans, what’s been one of the trans issues that’s been in the headlines quite a bit?
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, violence in a general way, but they’ve been essentially the only mass shooters of note for the past couple of years.
SPEAKER 20 :
Kind of interesting. Yeah. They there are other by the way, there are this isn’t the only survey that has shown this. There was a survey showing a decline and over Phillips Academy poll and Brown University conducted a student. They conducted a survey as well, and they concluded the same thing. So you have three independent surveys, which have all concluded that there is a not just I mean, a very precipitous drop. And they there’s also sorry, there’s they all these surveys also cite the first one that was done, which was the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. They they pulled over 50,000 50,000 college students and it’s dropped by half the identification. Because it’s a social contagion. And it’s. Triggered in people that I think are mentally ill or that are very lonely. It’s going away. Now, what’s interesting is that the professor noted, because this same trend they founded at Brown University, they’ve been finding it and they’ve lost three quarters. Theirs actually went from where 5% of students said they were non-binary in 2023. Two years later, barely over 2% did. That’s wildly significant. And what the survey, what they were discussing was that it is a sign, and this is what’s interesting, the sentence used is, quote, a sign that fashions are changing, that trends are changing. So it’s not fashionable any longer to identify as trans, to do all of the, you know, to say that you’re a men saying that they’re women, women saying that they’re men. Now, it’s not just that. They said that pansexual, asexual, and two-spirit, what are, how many were there? I don’t, I almost don’t want to know. I don’t know. So all of the other ones.
SPEAKER 11 :
No one knows.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah. They said that these studies, well, of the three studies, two of them also looked at what they described as non-heterosexual definitions. Okay. Is that gay? No, it’s not gay. It’s all the other stuff is what they’re saying. Okay. It’s the two-spirit, asexual, pansexual. I don’t even know what, literally, I don’t even know what some of these are. I think they are just completely made up. But they said that there is a, it’s not just the trans stuff. It plummeted by over 10 points, a decline in all of the other, that stuff. The pan, asexual, two, all that stuff. Isn’t that interesting? Yeah, two sexes, infinite personalities. It’s very interesting. Now, they also said the number of heterosexual students rose in 2025 to 77%. It was in the 60s, and it’s risen to 77%. Now, here’s what’s interesting. Do you know what didn’t change at all? I’m not trying to be mean, but I have no other way to describe it. Your basic gaze changed. The basic gays and the basic lesbians, they said, were, quote, largely stable. That was it. Nothing else changed. All the other ones changed. The trans and then the other stuff and then more heterosexual identification. Some people are saying it’s an anti-woke vibe shift. But here’s something else. They’re trying to say also maybe it’s a religious affiliation. Now, this gets into this cut that we have here. Audio, this is cut 26. Go ahead and play this. Because when we say we’re in a revival, it’s not a joke. Listen.
SPEAKER 18 :
A Christian revival across the country. Bible sales increasing over 40% since 2022. Religion app downloads surging nearly 80%. That increased since 2019. And Christian music Spotify streams up 50% from 2019. Very interesting indeed.
SPEAKER 20 :
Now, some are saying that another aspect of this is that there’s an improvement in mental health. So youth mental illness increased really rapidly. And notice that this coincides with the rise and introduction of so many different social media platforms. It grew steadily in the 2010s. It peaked in 2021, COVID. And now it’s on the decline. The first measurable, the first notice of this was towards the end of 2023. So I think that social media plus the lockdowns all contributed to a social contagion. And now we’re seeing a reversal of this. Now, of course, the science is not going to be welcomed anymore. And the T, all the other letters, plus I, whatever, 2S, all that, I don’t even know. It’s not going to be welcome in those circles. But that is incredibly interesting. There is a monumental shift occurring.

SPEAKER 20 :
Can I just say Phil Collins does not get enough love. He’s the only guy who could show up looking like an IT worker and go back and jam his heart out on the drums and then like write amazing songs with fabulous harmonies and rhythms and then just hit after hit after hit. I mean, the man’s a legend. Facts. No lies detected. Oh, good grief. New pandemic fears as a swine flu strain was found in ferrets and it mutates to hit humans. How do you get pig flu in a ferret and not in a person? What do you do in China? Quit being weird. Quit doing weird stuff with your animals over there. I have no idea, but I don’t believe it and I don’t care. Also, I don’t understand having ferrets as like a pet. It’s a weasel, right? Isn’t it a weasel? Yeah. Are they? Don’t they stink? I mean, I literally don’t laugh at me, but I literally bought like dog perfume on Amazon for my dog. That’s like dog friendly because I was like, he goes outside and he gets B.O. Dog B.O. And I’m like, oh, not anyway. Could never do a ferret. I don’t care. I’m going to eat pork. Let’s see. New York Sun revives print edition. Nobody cares. Sam Altman says chat GP. No, no, no. Chat GPT is going to get skanky. It’s going to turn into a sex bot, a chat sex bot. That’s disgusting.
SPEAKER 16 :
So not only can we get inaccurate information, but now they’ll sext us too? Do we need any of this?
SPEAKER 20 :
No, where’s the comet? Where’s SMOD? Where’s the sweet meteor of death? I mean, just we’re begging here, please. Humans, let’s see, under 50%, AI over 50%. The share of articles that have been written by humans are generated by AI. Isn’t there software where you can test? that stuff and see i’m really curious i would like to do some of that like to test more than 50 of the articles online are written by ai more than 50 i can proudly say that nothing on my newsletter has ever been written by ai i i i don’t tr i don’t trust it and plus it’s like you still would have to do the work of fact checking it right so what’s the point of having ai do when you have to do all the you have to fact check it anyway But apparently articles generated by AI, a number of those written by humans. So basically, journalists are letting AI out code them. Right. That’s kind of that’s the truth of it. That’s interesting. So they’re outsourcing all their stuff to AI. That’s over 50 percent. That’s insane. Of news articles that you’re reading, you probably read an article today without knowing that was completely AI generated. It’s wild. Soon you’re going to be able to shop Walmart and chat GPT. According to Wall Street Journal, that’s kind of weird. I wouldn’t want to do that. They’re saying that retail giant signals that online shopping is about to change. They’re partnering with OpenAI to allow shoppers to buy their products directly within ChatGPT. Who needs to do that? Like, what are they doing in ChatGPT that you can be interrupted and shop? I don’t know. That’s weird. So you’re, like, researching something or studying something and then… Also, do we have to be able to shop everywhere all the time? Isn’t that kind of just like fueling this consumerist kind of culture that we have? Just for heaven’s sake, just stop. We don’t need any of that. Coming up, ooh, Republicans. There’s a little bit of a Republican fight, inner fight happening. We’ll talk with the YRs. We’ll talk about it coming up. Stick with us. It’s Medicare enrollment season. I know you just want to throw something at the wall when you hear that because it’s all anybody hears. All I hear like my folks are like, Oh my gosh, they’re just besieged by texts and calls. And maybe you’re getting up to where it’s Medicare enrollment season for you to you maybe you’ve noticed an uptick in emails and texts and calls people wanting you to sign up. Here’s the thing you need to work with a partner. that’s going to give it to you straight, a partner that you can trust. And that’s chapter. This is not gimmicks. There’s no pressure. These are salaried experts. These are advisors. And they can walk you through what your options are because these plans change every year. And even if you’re happy with your plan, you still have to check out what’s coming for the next year. And if you don’t review your options, you could lose coverage that you depend on. So the folks at Chapter review every plan nationwide, and they ensure that you are not overpaying. And on average, they’re saving people over $1,000 a year. And Chapter stands out, again, because their advisors are salary. They advocate for you, not the insurance company. It is not a hassle. They can get you resolved and set in under 20 minutes. And if your current plan is still the best fit, you’re all situated. If not, they’ll help you switch. So honest advice. From experts who know Medicare inside and out, you got 20 minutes. It’s a heck of a lot better way to spend your time than endless weeks of calls, texts, and emails. Dial pound 250 and say the words, MyMedicare. That’s pound 250, say the words, MyMedicare, and work with a partner you can trust. Chapter.

Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious. On YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 02 :
content in different sizes So part of what we’re testing out now is it’s amazing to be able to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes But how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you and how that continues to grow as ever? So exploring all the options of what it could look like Oh gag me So that’s that whiny
SPEAKER 20 :
balding redheads game show wife. I’m just not fans of them. I’ve not been, I never really followed them. That’s that Meghan Markle lady. I’ve never really followed them until she pulled this stunt because I don’t get into British like wannabe royals or royalty. But she pulled this stunt where she went down to Uvalde. She chartered a jet, flew down to Uvalde with a camera crew and had people take pictures of her lay flowers outside that school. And after that, I was like, you are on my burnt list. Wow. That was so tacky and had a whole camera crew follow her because, you know, how can I make this about myself is what she asks herself every single day. I think that she actually is representative of a larger issue. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Chats at Rumble Channel 347 where you can watch the radio program. So if you’re unfamiliar, I think everybody knows the the prince over there, the prince and princess of Wales, they seem like decent people. They seem very nice, right? They seem like, you know, very respectable, quiet, no complainers. They just, you know, keep their heads down, kind of do the work that they’re supposed to do. I guess they go and sponsor a lot of charities and do a lot of philanthropy. And then you got this who apparently has all the charities dumping him. He made a mess of Sintabale, the one charity that was over in Africa, made a mess of it to where he got accused by the people in the charity of they were trying to, I guess, use it as a mechanism to just defend and promote his wife. And then another charity said that they wanted to discontinue association with him because they basically accused him of being a colonizer. And so now he lives in California. So if you don’t follow it because you have a life, let me just lay it out. So they got this Netflix deal that I think that they overinflated the check and the scope of what they were going to do in the press because they needed to desperately come out and look like they were winners in something, right? So they did this deal where they did their documentary, which it wasn’t a huge hit. Like Victoria Beckham has a documentary right now that’s like number one. The Beckham stuff, everything that they do is a hit. One, one, number one, number one, number one. So they did this and it didn’t last very long. She did this cooking show, which didn’t even take place in her house. You could tell I can watch somebody and tell if you know how to cook. A cook knows if someone can cook or not. You can watch someone prepare vegetables. You can watch and prepare meat. You can watch how they manipulate the pan and everything else. You can tell if somebody cooks. When she was chopping stuff on her show, I was terrified that she was going to cut a finger off. It was just sloppy. And you can she just got the thing because of who she married. And they’re really trying to, like, make themselves really influential, not just in culture, but in politics. Remember, these are people who also they got USAID money, apparently. Their little groups got USAID money. And apparently they were also trying to add their voices to those on the left that wanted under Biden that were trying to get big tech to crack down on misinformation and disinformation and all that nonsense. And apparently they were also part of it. So fairest game, right? It’s all fair game now. So anyway, she was the one who got pictured using the canning tongs incorrectly. Didn’t know how to can. So I don’t know what she’s doing at this Fortune 500 thing. Do you know what she was doing there? Because she she what was the point of her being there? Because it was about female executives and she’s never built anything. She only got where she was because she slept with the spare. And got knocked up. Let’s be honest about it. I mean, that’s, you know, I guess that’s one way to do it. But, you know, don’t sit here and call yourself a female founder when you married the money and you married the prestige. You didn’t build anything for yourself. You committed the greatest sin in your glorious Steinem feminism rulebook. You didn’t make it yourself. You married it. Otherwise, nobody cares. She was a zealous actress and was occasionally on a Canadian TV show. That was it. Everywhere she’s got, it’s everywhere she’s ever gone, it’s because a man put her there. Her dad put her here, a boyfriend put her there, another boyfriend put her there, and then now the husband. So she’s never really built anything by herself. I mean, fine, be happy who you are, but don’t sit here and pull a snow job on everybody else and act like you built it. That’s not being genuine. That’s not being truthful to people. But I don’t know why she’s there. And I think that she’s indicative of a large problem with the leftist influencer psyche. I don’t know. It’s just a weird thing. There’s more audio of her. This is… uh, cause they, they had that as ever show. And then she said, this is 20 suits is a show that no one watched and no one even knew about until she married the spare. This is cut 20.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s been incredible because when I was on suits, that was my last time really in a position with a very large team. We and i worked on the show for seven years and i loved the crew i love that experience and the culture that’s on set as well um and so i think being able to now have my own business it’s very different than being on set and even the set for with love megan that’s a crew of 80 people it’s still a very large crew but for my business i’ve been very decisive about having a lean team But that’s not what she says.
SPEAKER 20 :
She says that she has so many people working for her, she can’t fit them into her house. So she’s not even consistent. And she was only ever on Suits a couple of times. She’s not a business person. She white labels product, and then they purposefully restrict access to promote the falsehood of sales. So they only come out with a very limited number and then they act like, oh my gosh, demand is crazy. We sold out. It’s a marketing trick. And when I say white label, everybody knows how that works, right? You have another company, another entity that already has a product and you just switch the labels out. You just white label it. Apparently she did that to her rosé and the marmalade spread that doesn’t even actually use oranges. She had orange marmalade. They used frozen orange juice to make it. It’s just a bunch of sugary nonsense and it’s runny and it’s not even actual marmalade. It’s all fake. Isn’t this like the whole… leftist thing. Fake, fake, fake. Everything’s fake. They’re going to try to sell you something that they don’t actually have. This is a common theme, whether you are a leftist content creator or Democrat politician on the Hill. Is that not a common theme? But I just, I also can’t stand, one of the reasons I don’t like her because I hate the falseness of this content creation. So much is curated. This is why I don’t do anything like this on my Instagram account. Let me give you a little insight. Our sales team is about to murder me because they, oh my gosh, God love them. But I know that they want to string me up, Cain, and you know it’s true because I’m like, I’m not going to sit here and promote products and act like I’m not selling people something on Instagram. There is so much. I’m going to be real with you. There’s so much money that we’ve turned down and because I don’t need it. But also it just feels cringe. You know what I mean? It’s just so cringe. Like I’m even very specific with sponsors that come into our show. And if you notice like the sponsors that are on this radio program, I’ve been doing radio since 2008. October 28th, 2008 was my first show. And a lot of the sponsors that we have on radio have literally been with me since the beginning. Look how long Super Beats has been with me. Look how long Patriot Mobile has been with me. We develop real relationships with these people, but we also have a very high bar of who we work with. And it really aggravates some of the folks in sales. God love them because they’re, you know, they’re all about selling and that’s how we pay for this. That’s why you don’t have to pay a subscription fee. That’s why you’re watching for free right now. And You know, the chat can come together and they have that community. And, you know, the rest of us, you know, we can sit down and chill out and talk, you know, three hours a day every day. Well, we’re very particular about it because I just think it’s just cringe and it doesn’t serve anyone to do it otherwise. This is like the consumerist culture. You want to look like you are a cook or a little homemaker or whatever, and she doesn’t do it so it doesn’t come off as being genuine. It doesn’t come off as being authentic. And then if you criticize it or point out this truth, then the accusations fly at you. Like there’s something wrong with you because you don’t accept this obvious marketing attempt. You don’t accept it as being authentic, so the problem is you. I can’t stand that. It is just this gaslighting that’s in politics. It’s in consumerism. It’s in arts and entertainment. It’s everywhere. It’s just so false. It’s so ridiculous. So, yeah, we have a like we have a high bar with what we work with. And this is why I don’t like doing this content stuff on Instagram. I allowed we have a great social media team. And so you might have noticed if you follow me for any period of time. Now they post videos from the show and they do things like that. And that’s fine. But I have a major problem with like pushing product. We did this experiment one time I did. And I didn’t even get paid off of it. I just wanted to offer something because the audience can be very picky. It was this candle company that was based in New Orleans. And they happened to notice that I liked one of their products. And they said, hey, if you would make a post about us, we’ll give everybody that buys through using your code 20% off. And I’m like, oh, that’s like a nice thing to do for everybody. And everyone’s like, what is this? All the comments were, what is this? Are you going to start promoting products now? And I’m like, no, I just they literally offer to do something nice for people. So it was the last time I did it because everybody was so suspicious of it. They were like, what is this? And it literally I didn’t make a dime. I’ve never, ever made a dime off a product on Instagram. I’ve never done any of that stuff. And they were so suspicious of it. So I never I was like, I just wanted to give you 20 percent off. They thought it was a nice thing. There’s their stuff is made in the USA. I’m not going to do it again. Don’t worry. But it’s weird. And I just I don’t know. I just don’t get into that. Also, I think a lot of the things with the Harry and Meghan thing. And again, you don’t have to get into British royalty, isn’t it? Also, on a different scale, a representation of the crassness of progressive culture and then the politeness and well-mannered nature of a more traditional culture on display. Doesn’t it seem that way? I mean, I think that it’s a Rorschach test. How you feel about them is a Rorschach test for sure. But I have no idea why she’s doing these things. And she tried meeting Kamala Harris, remember? And they acted like it was a big thing that they were endorsing Kamala Harris. And she signs all of her stuff with Duchess. We don’t have royalty over here. We don’t do that. We don’t do stupid titles. We don’t do the hereditary stuff over here. I get it that nouveau riche people are obsessed with that stuff. We don’t do that over here. This is the United States of America. I don’t know. I find them incredibly annoying. I find her fake mannerisms insufferable. The products are just bad. It’s bad stuff. I can’t imagine white labeling something like that and then selling it like you put your heart and soul into it. It’s just false. You guys don’t have to worry about that with anybody here. Although you may want to tell my sales team about it because they get aggravated with us. God love them. All right. We got more on the way. We got Florida man coming up as we move our partners. This is a company. I think it’s smart to diversify your, what you have as a, defensive tools. And I’ve told you guys a million times, I carry all the time. I have zero issue with using lethal force to protect myself or a loved one. But I also realize that there are certain situations that we all by nature of being adults and having to do what we got to do in life, find ourselves in where we are disarmed by municipal or private property restrictions. And so in that instance, you definitely still need something that you can use to defend yourself. And this is where the burner gun comes in. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, maybe you think I’m good, I’m carrying a stun gun, but that’s like one or two shots. This thing, the CL, and that’s the one I would suggest to you, stands for compact launcher. The Berna CL has a 15 round shot capacity per cartridge. There’s no recoil, none. Easy target acquisition. So if you want to be able to protect yourself, but you’re in a place where you’re disarmed really from doing so, this is where the Berna gun comes in because it doesn’t care about gun-free zone signs. It doesn’t answer them. Not a gun, right? It doesn’t answer to them. There’s no background check. There’s no fees. There’s no nothing. They can send it right to your door. This is a great idea for college students who are under the age of 21 but still have to be on their own to go to school. You can find it, B-Y-R-N-A, Burna.com slash Dana. It’s the CL, the compact launcher. Very small. It’s like the size of a phone. B-Y-R-N-A, Burna.com slash Dana. Ready when you are.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 20 :
Okay, so this is crazy. People get nuts in parking lots. I mean, I think everybody knows this. A Florida man struck a pregnant woman with his car over a parking space dispute. This is crazy. So he was arrested. This was a winery and restaurant in Coconut Creek. And so according to the probable cause arrest affidavit, the woman was leaving the restaurant. She had to carry some items from inside to her car. Her husband went to get the car so he could move to a parking spot in front of the building. She was standing in the spot as her husband was driving around while the defendant, 45-year-old Brian Papula, pulled up in his car. the victim told him that she was saving the spot for her husband who was driving around but he shook his head and proceeded to pull forward the car struck her knee he actually hit her in the knee which forced her to move back and she lost a shoe and she said that if she hadn’t moved he would have run her over paramedics responded to the scene but she didn’t need to go to the hospital uh pabla told cops that he moved forward at a quote slow speed and the and he told her you can’t save spots So after parking his vehicle, he walked into a restaurant and he said he was in a rush. So Broward County Sheriff’s arrested him on one kind of aggravated battery on a pregnant person. He was taken to jail. He’s since posted 5000 bond. I if I was the husband, I’d beaten his ass right there in the parking lot. Because that’s insane. First off, yes, it’s tacky to say parking spots, but that’s a woman and she was visibly pregnant. And he’s a 45 year old man who has no problems walking under his own strength. Be the gentleman. Or if you can’t be the gentleman, then tell yourself you’re going to be the bigger person and just don’t do stuff like this. You know, I mean, he ought to be he’s lucky that she wasn’t carrying because she would have been within her rights, in my estimation, to draw on him because you’re threatening her with a weapon, which is your vehicle. And there’s a reason why vehicular manslaughter and charges involving vehicles with injuring people is actionable, are actionable offenses. So this guy’s lucky that that’s all he got. What a D-bag. That’s insane. Be smarter than that guy. Good grief. People are stupid. Let’s see. So this, I got to talk about this lady just because of her lashes. Kane, I just need you to get a gander at them lashes. Okay, we’re going to try this lady’s name here. So she got arrested in connection with at least three bad date Rolex theft cases. So apparently she dates rich dudes and steals her watch. One guy had his Rolex watch and a Versace gold chain valued at $14,000 stolen. So her name is Antronasia.
SPEAKER 16 :
Antronasia.
SPEAKER 20 :
I think that’s right.
SPEAKER 16 :
Or Antronasia. I don’t know. Antronasia probably.
SPEAKER 20 :
Antronasia. It looks like she cut a spider in half and then glued each of the spider side to her eyes because those lashes are out of control. Anyway, she’s from Miami Gardens, 24 years old. She apparently meets with these gents and steals their stuff. So, men, don’t be hoes, okay? Just don’t be like that, and you won’t find yourself with questionable, with women of ill repute who are going to steal you of your jewels.
SPEAKER 16 :
She just doesn’t steal. It’s like these guys end up severely passed out. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
Some ripnol or whatever they call it. Yeah, yeah. They put them to sleepy sleep and then take all their stuff.
SPEAKER 16 :
She’s pulling a Cosby on these guys.
SPEAKER 20 :
pulling a Cosby. And a Florida man was arrested for calling 911 five times in one day. You can’t do that, especially when you just want to complain about stuff in your neighborhood. And that’s what this feller did. We’ll talk more about that tomorrow. Stick with us. Third hour on the way. The folks over at Super Beats who have been a really longtime supporter, like such a longtime supporter of the show that some people are like, wait a minute, you’re the Beats person. Well, yeah. And I take them and they’re good. And they have a lot of other benefits that I can’t say to because they didn’t pay a hush money to the FDA. I don’t know if I can say that or not, but I did. Anyway, the company behind it, Human, they’re based in Austin, Texas. They partner with UT. They work with the Health Science Center. It’s all built on real cardiovascular research around blood flow and nitric oxide. And it’s all very, very science-based, like actual science, not pretend science where something pretends it’s something else. And you can actually feel it working. UT athletes use Super Beats. In fact, some of your favorite teams probably use it as well. There’s over 160 college and pro teams. that actually use humans’ products. And so, like I said, your favorite team probably does too. It’s all about heart healthy energy without the crash, plant-based, no stimulants, no artificial sweeteners or colors, and clinically studied. Recommended by doctors, including mine, pharmacists and cardiologists, more so than any other beat brand. Pick up Super Beats at your local Walmart and start supporting your cardiovascular health today. Get on the road to better health with Super Beats from Human.
SPEAKER 13 :
Thank you. So the answer to my question is yes. Under that scenario, someone could they get their driver’s license again because we give them to anybody here they register to vote it doesn’t match with the social security number so they’re flagged but they come in as long as they have an id which is that driver’s license and they sign that they’re you know eligible to vote they can vote and they’re then no longer flagged they’re on the system is that correct mr linnell
SPEAKER 11 :
Madam Chair, if I could add the, and maybe stepping back from those that are flagged as CID on the roster, for anyone that’s presenting documentation to register to vote, that is affirmation of their identity. The driver’s license has not been used as proof of citizenship for the purposes of registering to vote. It’s affirming that they are who they say they are. So in any of these cases where someone were to cast a ballot if they were ineligible to vote, There are also reports that are generated post-election for voters that are challenged that counties will run to show status of voters that have been updated due to the fact that they’ve now cast a ballot that can be reviewed and referred to the county attorney.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, so the answer is yes to my question.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, she is. So that that was Patty Anderson, who is a representative. And this is it’s Minnesota. That accent. I love the accent. And so this is the Minnesota. The person being questioned was the Minnesota elections director, Paul Linnell. And he is admitting in the audio that you just heard that illegal aliens can vote in state elections with a driver’s license. I mean, he had some Kamala word salad, but yes, they can. And he had no objection to that. And that was a law that was that is a loophole made possible, by the way, by Tim Walls. Welcome back to the program. Top of this third hour. Dana Lynch with you. Chats at Rumble. Sub stack, chapter and verse. Find us at YouTube, Facebook, also Channel 347, DirecTV, so you can watch us do the radio program. Well, that’s not, yeah, that, well, we knew that. And they want them to vote. They want them to. That’s their whole, that’s the whole strategy. And this was part of their House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee. And they were doing an overview over election registrations. And he he had to say, well, I guess, you know, yes, my answer answer to my question answer that question is yes. I mean, he had to and she’s and he just had a bunch of word salad. And I mean, that’s it. So she she’s like, yes. So the answer is yes. That’s true. Yeah. Now, what dovetails into this? I wanted to point this out because there’s a lot of discussion over this. We were talking about this over break. So yesterday it came out that the State Department is going to revoke visas for of the individuals that were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. Right. And they’re kicking out a number of foreigners, visiting foreigners on visas for doing so. They were they were tweeting this stuff out on their account. State Department was they gave an example of an Argentinian national. That said Kirk, quote, devoted his entire life to spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric and deserves to burn in hell. And they they they have screenshots of these things and they put visa revoked, visa revoked. South African national said he, quote, was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash and quote visa revoked. and going through all of this. Now, a lot of people, and I noticed it’s capital L libertarians, I guess, that were saying, well, this is, if you’re tweeting something that is considered offensive to people in positions of power and you’re being kicked out, well, that’s tyranny. That’s, you know, that’s a speech code. That’s anti-free speech. Here’s my problem with that. And I, Yes, I’m well aware of what the left has done to the right. Probably more than a lot of people trying to ask me that question. I don’t know if you’ve been professionally irrevocably harmed by your government, but I have. I’ve had sitting members of Congress call me a domestic terrorist and call for the FBI to raid my home. So, yeah, I kind of know what that’s like. Here’s the issue, though. You’re not talking about citizens. you are discussing foreigners. I don’t like this move to extend the natural rights of Americans to those people who are merely visiting the United States. It is not, and the best way I can explain this is, do you think that visitors to the United States have Second Amendment rights? Do you believe that that natural right extends to absolutely everybody, regardless of whether they’re a citizen or not? And I mean, there’s several ways you can answer this. But for the purpose of this discussion, if you don’t extend two way, then why is one a different? Does that make sense? Does that make sense, Kane? I feel like that that’s a fair way to ask.
SPEAKER 16 :
Absolutely. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 20 :
Because it’s. It’s not like a universally codified thing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Nope. It’s up to their governments to codify that.
SPEAKER 20 :
Right.
SPEAKER 16 :
We have our natural rights that we’ve recognized, and then our government is set up in order to codify those rights. That’s literally how it goes. So if our Secretary of State decides that somebody else outside of the United States, a foreigner…
SPEAKER 20 :
may or may not mess things up here or cause issues here that’s the secretary of state’s absolute right to deny them their visa that’s the bottom line and also isn’t it we there’s so many criticisms of the united states particularly by europeans they’re like oh well they’re nation builders so they’re involved in everything even though they we usually come at their invitation correct So are they also demanding that we provide, facilitate and protect like we are obligated to extend the natural rights of American citizens to everybody else in the world? I mean, you’re literally then saying that we are the world’s police force, in effect, by doing that. And I bring this up because I just find flaws in the argument that people who are visiting here have the same protections of speech as the people who are citizens of here, citizens of the United States. If you want to have those rights affirmed, you have to be a citizen in my estimation. If you want those rights affirmed, you have to be a citizen. if you are a visitor here, just as a visitor in any other nation, there are certain things that you are not allowed to do because you are not a citizen of that nation. We don’t want a bunch of, you know, illiterate revolutionaries here in the United States spouting off and et cetera, et cetera.
SPEAKER 16 :
We got enough of that in the last four years.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yeah, exactly. But when you have people who are cheering for the death of someone and they are visiting here, we are not obligated to entertain their non-existent right to be idiots. We don’t owe them anything. I don’t know where we get this. I don’t know. Where do we get this idea that we owe anyone anything? We don’t owe a visitor a singular damned thing. Not a thing. Be a decent guest. That seems to be the only thing. I don’t know. I mean, there’s a reason why inalienable is used, and there’s a reason why these were afforded to citizens, and this was something that was affirmed repeatedly by the founders. And that’s the way it is.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m sorry. The outrage on the left about this, it rings hollow to me because I just dropped a story, and this was from 2012. Now, remember, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State during Obama’s terms. And she denied Cubans U.S. visas, not because they had anything nefarious about the United States. It’s because they love freedom.
SPEAKER 20 :
But if you don’t have a right to be here, then what makes you think that you have a right to the rights of people who do? Does that make sense? Now, I want to I want to dovetail this story because I see a lot of people doing it with this thing that came out on Politico. So if you’ve seen the Politico story about all of the texts and the tweets or the texts, if you’re unfamiliar, the headline is, I love Hitler. Leaked messages expose young Republicans’ racist chats. Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery, and rape. I will say that from what I understand, this is a faction of the YRs that’s kind of New York-based, and they’re a little bit problematic. I know a lot of people that have had dust-ups with them, and from my understanding, is that this was leaked to the press because there is a power struggle between one of the worst of them and the other ones. So just so you have some insight into that. Now, that being said, a lot of people have jumped up and said, this is bad. They shouldn’t be saying this stuff. Just as I wouldn’t vote for Jay Jones for saying that he wanted to kill someone’s kids, I would not vote for anybody who is so stupid that they would put stuff like this in the written word with their name attached to it and send it. They’re called YRs for a reason. Young Republicans who apparently haven’t spent enough time in the world where they don’t do stupid ass things like this and put their names on it. First off, do I think that these people are actual Nazis? I don’t know all of the people involved in it. Maybe some of them are. Hell, I don’t know. I’m not I don’t know. I don’t know all the names in this. Some of it looks like it was dark humor that they were leaning into. But still, regardless, this was dumb to put into words. One of the things that some of y’all people in politics need to understand is that you never, don’t think that you can use Telegram or anything else, any other signal or anything else. There will always be a way to take a screenshot. Never put anything in print that you don’t ever want to have to defend. That’s rule number one. And the fact that so many people were doing this, there are a lot of young Republicans that do not have the political acumen to be at that level. That’s stupid. You never put your name on stuff like this and you never write it in a text thread. The hell’s the matter with you? That’s number one. Number two, don’t be the left. We got enough of this junk on the left. We have actual anti-Semites on the left. We have people that were trying to spy on Jews who were simply worshiping during COVID. We have leftists that were running after Jewish students on college campuses. I mean, for crying out loud, there were leftists like Zoran Mandani who supports Hamas and would not refuse to condemn from the river to the sea or global intifada. refused to condemn any of it. One of the reasons why so many people are leaving the left is because of stuff like this. Do not mimic it under any circumstances. Good heavens. But I think also with this, there’s, I think some people are so far removed from some of this stuff that they don’t realize the wound that it picks at by even so much as joking about it right no one wants to be speech police but no one wants stupid people involved at the highest levels of political circles don’t be stupid never text stuff that you feel that you would have to defend never put it in writing and hit send And if you are in your late 20s or early 30s and you haven’t learned that lesson yet, you are too dumb to be in politics. And just like I wouldn’t support Jay Jones, I wouldn’t support any of these clowns either. Good grief. There’s, I think, a difference in motive. Jay Jones was seething and enraged. I think these people were being idiots. And there’s no excuse for it. Don’t be stupid. There’s no excuse to be that stupid. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program, Caltech’s KS7 Gen 2 shotgun. It’s one of the newest ones that they’ve made. It’s on the popular KS7 platform. The Gen 2 is packed with all kinds of upgrades. You have a five-slot Picatinny style rail that lets you add vertical grips, lights. You can keep it flush and sleek with a cap if you want. It’s a smoother pump action for faster, cleaner cycling. And you also have enhanced durability. Ultra lightweight. It’s just under seven pounds unloaded. Compact bullpup design so you have maneuverability and tight spaces. ambidextrous downward shell ejection, and a 7 plus 1 capacity for stopping power. And MSRP makes it affordable at just $639. So it brings all of that well within reach. It’s from Kel-Tec, K-E-L-T-E-C, weapons.com, made here in the USA. That’s keltecweapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.
SPEAKER 16 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 20 :
So normal people get souvenirs. This German woman stole the top of an ancient column in Olympia like 50 years ago, and she’s returned it to Greece. According to the Greek culture ministry, it was the capital. They’re called the it’s like the little bases of them are called capitals of the column. It’s made of limestone. 9 inches high, 13 inches wide. She took it from this, like, 4th century guest house. And they praised the sensitivity and courage of the woman. What a weird thing to take. Right? Like… I don’t know. Yeah, she had it for a really long time. Was it really courageous that she turned it back now? I don’t know. Very interesting. Let’s see. Parts of the U.S. are already getting major snowfall. I can’t even imagine. I don’t do well in cold or snow or anything like that. Blew it past. That sounds funny. In Washington, it was closed already to heavy snowfall, disabled semis, and collisions. They’re already having to plow the roads. I would die. It’s October 15th. I mean, it’s 90 degrees. It’s 80, almost 90 degrees here in Texas today. I couldn’t live. Those people probably couldn’t live with the heat, though. You know, I mean, I think about it because they wear shorts when it’s 50. And I’m like, that’s when you have turtlenecks and blankets and, you know, fires and all that stuff. Let’s see. A California engineer wins a pumpkin contest with a 2346 pound gourd. You said that looks GMO-ish to you.
SPEAKER 16 :
I would imagine there’s some genetic modification going on.
SPEAKER 20 :
It looks fake. What do you do with a pumpkin that big? Because it’s probably not anything you can eat.
SPEAKER 16 :
Maybe the seeds? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 20 :
Don’t know how that works. Like, it’s very large. Oh, goodness. Let’s see. This apparently bears in Japan. Now, that’s not something that I’d think about. But apparently it’s becoming a little bit frequent when people are coming across them when they’re out and walking around in nature. There was a couple in the Gunma Prefecture that were attacked by a bear. 76-year-old. They called their version of 911 around 6 a.m. He had been bitten on his left hand. His 69-year-old wife was with him, and she was bitten on her left arm and thigh. They were taken to the hospital, treated for their injuries. I just feel like they were probably very polite about it, you know, in Japan. Like, please no, don’t bite us, Mr. Bear. I don’t know. It just seems that way. Coming up. A teacher in Winter Garden, Florida, was told to take down. This is a very interesting thing. Well, we’re going to talk with him because they’ve had an issue with free speech in their classroom. Stick with us. So you guys remember the panic buying of 2020 when. everyone was rushing to get French toast supplies, toilet paper, and all of the ammo that they did not really necessarily didn’t want to leave for anybody else.

SPEAKER 20 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this third hour. You can listen terrestrially, coast to coast. We’re in every state in the union, as well as stream the radio program, Channel 347, DirecTV, the chats at Rumble. We’re on X, Facebook, everywhere else. Now… One of the things that I think we’ve seen a lot of, especially I was talking yesterday on Fox about the Loudoun County School District and all this stuff and the things that they’ve been putting up with in Virginia. It’s always nice when you have teachers that are very encouraging and they are open to I mean, they don’t really put it this way. Police politically, ideologically, if that makes sense. And I was reading this story over at Not the Bee about a teacher in Orange County, Florida, who, after our friend Charlie Kirk was assassinated, placed a poster in his classroom that simply shared a very uplifting quote. Here’s the poster in question. And it’s Charlie. And the quote says, never underestimate the power of your voice and the impact you can have on the world when you speak up for what you believe in. So there’s nothing wrong with that, right? That’s a great quote. There’s nothing that is partisan about this. There is nothing that is inflammatory about this. I mean, this is one of the most innocuous things that you could put up in the classroom. What are people taking exception with the power of your voice or using it to speak up for things in which you believe? Well, apparently one student thought so. And so this teacher who had this poster in their classroom, William Loggins, he’s a social studies teacher at Horizon High School in Orange County. There was a student, a singular student, who took issue. And, of course, they said what you would imagine they would say. They said that Charlie Kirk is, quote, a Nazi and a fascist, end quote. And the poster would have to come down. I feel bad for the teacher in the instance because he’s there to teach social studies, not basic English and definition of words. So the principal at that time was outside the classroom when the student made the comment and he had originally said, don’t worry about it. But then there was reason for him to worry about it. He had to remove the poster. It was considered divisive. Joining us now in video is that professor, William Loggins. He’s a teacher at the Horizon High School in Winter Garden, Florida. He is the teacher who put up the poster in question as well as the Lake County commissioner. Anthony Sabatini, who has been talking about this story and is now involved in working with a teacher on this. Welcome to both of you, Anthony and William. It’s a pleasure to have you on the show. William, let me just start with you. This poster, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s an uplifting quote. It’s about as innocuous as the kitten that hangs on to the branch and says, you know, hang in there. I mean, it’s just one of those things. typical classroom posters. And from my understanding, you also feature posters and quotes of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and, you know, everybody of every background from what I’ve read. But there was exception taken specifically to this. Tell me tell me some insight on this.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, like you mentioned, I do put a lot of inspirational quotes up in my classroom and You know, I’ve been teaching now for about eight years and I’ve been in Orange County School District for four years now. And lately, the last couple of years, it just seems like I’ve just I’ve been very encouraged with this upcoming generation. I mean, they seem to hunger for information and for inspiration. And I see that a lot of my students, I teach a law class, comprehensive law honors class. And we’re actually been learning about the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the First Amendment especially. And so this was just after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I saw this poster and I said, you know, that would make a good inspirational quote to put up in my room. And when I put it up, there was a lot of positive feedback from a lot of students. And, you know, and I’ve gotten since then, I’ve gotten questions about why is it not there anymore? You know, I’ve been teaching them about the First Amendment and they’re wondering why did I have to remove that poster?
SPEAKER 20 :
Wow. And so they’re all aware of it. And the article that I was referring to, they said the principal at the time told you it was a complaint from a student. Don’t worry about it. Other teachers have similar posters. But then you did have to worry about it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, the principal, you know, he told me, I actually, I stepped out in the hall and told him that I had a complaint about the poster. And he told me, you know, don’t worry about it. We have, you know, we have inspirational posters from all kinds of people. So, but then a few days later, he visits my classroom. He said that the student had sent an email to him to complain. So he had to forward it to the district for advice. And of course, they they told him that I would have to remove it.
SPEAKER 20 :
And they were saying it was a political in nature. Anthony Sabatini is also joining us. And Anthony works at the Sabatini law firm. He also works as an attorney and county commissioner of Lake County, Florida. Anthony, this you’re the attorney here. So you enlighten us because it doesn’t that’s not a political poster. There’s no political message in this that so that in my estimation, my non lawyerly mind, I’m looking at this thinking there’s no violation of contractor school policy here.
SPEAKER 10 :
absolutely not they have policies uh bill knows the policies we all know the policies and there’s no violation of the policy this is just classic viewpoint discrimination this is straight up looking and saying hey that’s a picture of charlie kirk we don’t like charlie kirk so you have to remove that it’s purely because they don’t like his political views etc and so uh even though the views aren’t even expressed on the poster this is not a partisan poster it’s not a republican poster in fact it’s like you mentioned innocuous inspirational very simple quote so they’re just pinpointing uh people in society that they don’t like and the fact that they’re doing this quite literally right after he was brutally murdered in the most significant political assassination in decades makes it even more crass so we’ve already filed a grievance with the school system we’re waiting to hear what they’re going to say hopefully they let him put this poster back up but if they don’t we definitely have grounds for a First Amendment retaliation lawsuit because they’re just limiting his speech because they don’t like his selection of posters. And it’s just totally absurd. You know, this is Orange County. This is one of the few blue counties left in the state of Florida. It’s been problematic for the governor and for the legislature. and they’re just if it’s not this it’s another thing they’re costly violating the law they’re costly targeting people who don’t conform apparent to the radical left-wing agenda as you as we spoke about earlier I’m this same school district although it’s got this on its face neutral policy that says no political symbols no political figures they’re allowing all types of partisan political symbols and figures in the in the classroom they’re putting up posters up rainbow flags and pride flags all throughout the campus. But apparently a picture of Charlie Kirk is a stretch too far.
SPEAKER 20 :
To your point on that, one, if we could throw up this element here, because this is on, is this currently, Kane, on their website, the Orange County Public Schools? So on their website, just literally right before both of you gentlemen joined, this image is currently on the website, LGBTQ+, Awareness History Month. That seems… like a direct political proclamation. So how, I’m trying to understand, I don’t think they have a legal argument here, Anthony.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, I don’t think they have any law on their side. But what you’ll find with these local governments is attorneys, in this case, the school board attorney, are willing to put forth a bunch of gobbledygook, goofy letterhead sort of nonsense saying that they’re justifying what they’re doing. Why? Because they know that they’ll be fired by the board if they don’t. If this school board attorney said, hey, you have a right to do that. This radical school board would probably make a motion to fire her immediately. And so, you know, you see that a lot in local government. But once they’re challenged and a judge steps in, usually that’s what is necessary to correct the situation. And we’ll see what happens with the grievance we file. But if they don’t do the right thing at that stage, they’re going to lose at the next stage.
SPEAKER 20 :
Wow. And William, I’m sure I would hope that you’ve heard from other students who did have an alternate point of view from the one student that complained using that very incendiary language. You know, he’s a Nazi, he’s a fascist, etc. Did you hear from other students who had very different ideas about the matter?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes, absolutely. In fact, several of my students are wanting to start a chapter of Turning Point USA at our school. The principal encouraged me to do so, to get it done. So I have a student that has applied for that. I know that since the assassination, they’re pretty much flooded with applications. So it may take a while. So I requested, along with some students, if we could start a different club that’s similar to what Turning Point USA stands for. Because I have a lot of seniors and, you know, I hate for them to miss out. And those mostly seniors are the ones who are wanting this club. And so I talked to him about maybe we could start something for the meantime until we get our chapter of Turning Point USA, then we can dissolve this club into the, just have the Turning Point USA club.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s pretty amazing. And as you noted, yeah, they’ve had, I think, what is it, over 400-something percent increase in applications to create these clubs. For those just joining us, we’re talking with a teacher at a Florida school district who has filed a grievance against the school because they would not allow a poster. Very uplifting, very motivational quote, Charlie Kirk, but then they have the pride flags and the trans flags and the all-gender flags. Anthony, I don’t know if there’s – what legal perspective – couldn’t be invoked here, but you have one student who complained. And as William is saying, it sounds like that one student is outnumbered by all of the students who are saying they liked it and therefore they even want to create this club now at their school. I mean, surely the district can be prevailed upon to recognize, as you were saying, that it is viewpoint discrimination.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely. That’s exactly what this is. And, you know, it’s important to note that, yeah, they’re using one student’s complaint out of thousands. This is a very large high school, too, by the way, in West Orange County, out of thousands of students who attend the school. But that’s really meant as a pretext. They use it as an excuse. Oh, one student complained. Really, the complaint is coming from the administration. And likely the school board who were obviously extremely hostile to anyone who’s even faintly seen as conservative or even moderate. I mean, you got the bleeding heart, giant LGBTQ flag all over the website, blasting it in your face. But this very small poster among many in one classroom of one high school in one of the largest counties in the state. uh apparently is is a problem so clearly viewpoint discrimination coming from the board we’re going to be sending this to the new education commissioner in the state of florida who’s been great on this issue so far of fairness for teachers who want to display posters that i think are you know obviously good And the other thing I would just mention about this is, you know, Charlie Kurchis yesterday won the presidential medal for freedom. Only 700 people have done that. He’s objectively a great and inspiring person for the younger generation. So I just think it’s particularly evil, actually, for them to try to go out of their way to remove this poster when they have so many other problems in the public school system today.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s a great point. Last question for you, William. Well, I’m also going to ask how far you all are going to fight with us, too. But I would imagine this is such an amazing learning opportunity as well for your students to say nothing of the incorrect usage of the invectives that the that the student who was complaining was was using to describe the poster. But your students are watching you stand up for. free speech rights, because obviously this is meant to have a chilling effect, not just on you, but also for all of the students that are in your classroom, all of the students that are in that district, something of which I’m sure you’re very well aware.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. And, you know, especially with my law students that, you know, we talk about Tinker versus Des Moines and we talk about different things about the First Amendment and their student rights and everything. And it’s just, you know, you can you can imagine how confusing this is for them. Their teacher can’t even put up a poster with an inspirational quote from someone as well known and respected as Charlie Kirk.
SPEAKER 20 :
Anthony, how far will this go?
SPEAKER 10 :
I think this will, I hate to say it and I want to forecast, but I think this does end up in court because if they don’t step down and fix it, let them have the poster go up. I think there’s one more step in the administrative remedies that we’re allowed. And then after that, we am standing to file a lawsuit and we will file a lawsuit if they don’t allow him to put this poster back in. So that could be in the next couple of weeks, could be much quicker. We’ll find out. We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we make our decision.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, thank you for that. I very much want to continue following this story because this is so much more than just a poster, as everybody knows. And I hate that you have to go through this. William Loggins, I so appreciate you helping to shape the young minds and shepherding the next generation and for your fortitude and willingness to fight this because this will have a precedent for a lot of other individuals. And And Anthony, for you taking this on and being so vocal in this fight and so ferocious necessarily about it. Grateful to both of you. And please keep us updated. We’re going to follow it. And I hopefully I mean, I can’t believe I have to say hopefully you should prevail. So we’re going to continue following this story. And we’d love to have you both back. Thank you both so much for what you do. We’re grateful. God bless you. Thank you.
