The Dana Show with Dana Loesch - Absurd Truth: No More Joy

Starting point is 00:00:00 Dana Lashes of Surtruth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. This has always been a fear of mind, and now it's like apparently a real thing. All of the gators and the sewers, I don't know. I don't know. It's like University of Florida did this study. They found 34 other species in the storm sewage system, but also a quote, abundance of alligators.

Starting point is 00:00:32 And in fact, the study that University of Florida conducted, they said it was a shift towards human modified environments and that it was, quote, like something out of teenage mutant ninja turtles. The abundance of animals down there was surprising, end quote. What did I tell you? Like, even in the puddles, man, they're there in the puddles, dude. It's like it in the storm drains. But gators, ah. They're like, yeah, they're like all down. I just don't just if there's water, even if it's like a trickle.

Starting point is 00:01:04 there's a gator in it. Just, just, just, just, just know this. That terrifies me. I'm like, like, super hyper aware whenever I'm in Florida. I don't want to talk about the dog fighting thing because that makes me sad and I just, I'm going to want to say mean things about that guy. A resident in Collier County, Florida man, stepped in to help a gator that had a football stuck in its mouth.

Starting point is 00:01:22 Now, some of us would say, that's what you get gator for going at everything that you think you can. But a resident, it was a pretty large gator. He, uh, the gator was struggling. and someone had noticed it was struggling for like a while with this football in its mouth. So he went over and was able to get the football from the gator. At first he was going to try to pop it to deflate it because it was legit stuck in the gator's mouth. But he apparently was able to get it and then get to safety.

Starting point is 00:01:52 And he saved the gator according to seven news in Miami. That's brave. I don't know that I would have done it. I mean, I probably would have from the safety of a tree with a long stick. but that's that's it i'm just saying a florida mayor was busted after his fingerprints were lifted from a box of goldfish like the crackers like the goldfish crackers uh the happen in gulfport florida the cops alleged that michael gonzalez aka gizmo hit a 65 year old when he was out walking uh leaving the family dollar he had $50 worth of cleaning supplies in a box of goldfish crackers the 65 year old was

Starting point is 00:02:27 the manager of the store he said the guy that gonzalez was stealing he in front of them they did bust gonzalez because he had his fingerprints on that. And a Florida man slaps a girl who is bullying his son. You cannot do this. This is where you get the sisters involved, right? Or this is why dudes have girlfriends. Your boys can't hit a girl, but a girl can hit a girl. Although I will think if you're a girl and you're beaten up on a boy, then that's fair game. We're not doing that stuff. Like, you're just asking to get slapped if you're doing that. So don't do it. Like if you want equality and all that stuff, slap, there's equality, girl, all right? I'm just saying, you know, I hate this where it's like, well, you can hit me because that's sexism, but I can hit you all day long. Well, I'll talk more about this one in

Starting point is 00:03:07 Florida Man tomorrow because it's kind of long. But yeah, that's why, especially when they're young, got to have a big sister come in and handle it. Caltech, the PR 57. It is their rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5-7. Now, they changed concealed carry once before in 1995, and they kept doing it with their microcompact designs. Now, it's with the 5-7. So the PR-57 rotary barrel pistol is 40% lighter than the next five seven. So it's actually a realistic thing that you can, that you can carry. I mean, it's, it's, and that's like how they, that's how they built and designed all of this. Like, it's for when it matters most and low recoil for ease of use and accuracy. It's engineered very simple. I mean, the simplicity is, is, is incredibly innovative.

Starting point is 00:03:52 So they have a unique top loading design that replaces the traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile and you got a 20 plus one capacity. So you know what? The left can actually say clips with this one than the instead of magazines because they make that mistake all the time anyway. MSRP is only 399. It's super affordable. This is one that you can absolutely afford and you should get it. It's the first of its kind from Keltec, the PR 57 rotary barrel pistol. See it for yourself at Keltecweapons.com. Innovation Performance Keltec, KELTEC Weapons. Tell them Dana sent you. I don't know if you saw over the weekend. Who was it?

Starting point is 00:04:34 Joy Reed. Her show's canceled. I feel like that's the show that's kind of the avatar for all Democrat commentary. And I don't feel like that's off base, right? Can't you say that that is pretty representative of the tone and the depth of a lot of leftist commentary is Joy Reid show. And Joy Reed is just a miserable, miserable. miserable person. And I'm not even quite sure

Starting point is 00:05:05 what the purpose of her content was. She didn't explain anything. She doesn't have, she never dives deep on a particular issue. She just sits there and spews invective. And that's pretty kind of, that's it. I don't know what she actually does or what commentary or coverage

Starting point is 00:05:24 she actually provided that was in any way educational or enlightening. It just doesn't. She didn't, none of her content was smart. It wasn't engaging. It was like an hour long

Starting point is 00:05:41 Maoist struggle session. And she screamed at everyone else and she was just a pretty abrasive personality. And that network doesn't have a high bar anyway, but it was still embarrassing. Because that's all it was. And her commentary wasn't any different on television than it was when she was, you know, holding her camera, looking at herself, you know, when she's sitting in her house.

Starting point is 00:06:05 I don't know. And her ratings were horrific. So this is kind of my point. Her ratings were so bad. The network is dealing with crisis after crisis. So the network president, Rebecca Cutler, apparently they were addressing, she was addressing the staffers of, I didn't even know what's her fate. Joy Reid show was called The Read Out. Really? According to status news, Cutler told staff, we're waiting to get a response from Joy and her team about how she would like, you know, to handle some of these things. And we want to defer to her on this. She apparently hasn't said any, she's been a quiet on TikTok. I don't think she said anything on social media, has she? I haven't seen it. Yeah, I don't think she said anything on social media. But their ratings were in the toilet. They're not attracting viewers. I don't even know how you sell. ads based on the ratings that she had. She was barely, so MSNBC total during the hours of 8 to 11 p.m. Eastern time, they barely managed an audience of 734,000. We have more listeners than that regularly. Like we have, from digitally and terrestrially, we have several million listeners ever, actually more than several every day. CNN, get this, at the same time slot, from 8 to 11 p.m. Eastern, CNN barely managed to net 522,000

Starting point is 00:07:44 viewers. That's unbelievable to me. How do you sell ads on that? I was thinking, I'm like, how in the world are you selling, I don't even know what their ad rates are, but I can imagine that they're pretty expensive. Nobody, The advertisers are looking at that thinking, well, what is the return on the investment of our ads, our ad dollars for this? She was earning $3 million a year. Oh, my gosh. So if her show was not generating at least that much, she's unfortunately a liability and a negative. We have at a minimum seven times her audience every day. Every day. And we work with our different affiliates and we track things digitally, et cetera.

Starting point is 00:08:30 So we have a pretty good idea based on hard data of our audience. We have actually over seven times that. She made $3 million. Your girl did make $3 million. I'm not complaining. I'm happy. But I'm just saying for the purpose of showcasing how tone deaf MSNBC is, that's pretty crazy. And don't forget, back in December, they actually did a salary cut for some of their larger earners.

Starting point is 00:08:56 Yeah, they had a, oh, what's her face? Maddow, right? Yeah. She had a big pay cut and that was big news. I think Joyless got a pay cut as well. So think about this. People aren't wanting to watch and those are the, they don't want to watch it. And those are the places that everybody knows, even if you're not super into politics, you know Fox is right leaning. MSNBC's left leaning. CNN's left leaning. CNN, I think for the optic of being able to say that they have conservatives or independent. they, I would say, aren't as far left as MSNBC, but they're still pretty left. And that's not a rescue. Don't misinterpret what I'm saying here. I'm not saying that they're not left or that they're soft on.

Starting point is 00:09:44 They're super far left. But when you watch MSNBC, it's like Mao came back from the dead and programmed them. I can't even for purposes for the show to talk about their content. I can't sit and watch it. I just, I'm like, if there's clips, we'll do that. I just cannot. I can't watch it. It's so heinous.

Starting point is 00:10:07 So I'm not surprised with us. But I don't know how that network stays and does what it does. A friend of mine was telling me their ad buys, their ad rates aren't as expensive as foxes are. But they're still pricey, obviously, especially for that primetime slot. This is the kind of stuff she did. somebody 21. No one, no one on the left thinks this except for her. Listen.

Starting point is 00:10:34 I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had, I mean, but never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed it. You know, I mean, she had every prominent celebrity voice.

Starting point is 00:10:46 She had the, she had the Taylor Swiftish of the Swifties. See, that's what accounts were flawless to her. You could not have run a better campaign in that short period of time. Actually, you could have. In fact, you could have, not only run a better campaign. You could have run a better candidate and your party could have done

Starting point is 00:11:00 everything better. I mean, that's just, who says stuff like that? When you, when you come out, even if you're on the left and you are bailing out a candidate to such a degree that you're debasing yourself in the face of reality, people don't want to believe you. And you lose stature in their minds. Why do they seek out your analysis on something? If you're just going to blow smoke up their backside, you know. And as Kane noted, I don't know, their whole approach to programming is call everyone who doesn't think exactly like them Nazis and racists and sexists. Even if you're a person of your color, you know, for a minority and you're a conservative. Oh my gosh, you're a racist racist. Doesn't matter what your skin color is. That's just how it applies to you.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So remember how I was talking about with Matt Mowers and Zelensky and then we brought up the debt and all of that stuff and the money. that, you know, how much did it stand like, basically $100 billion?

Starting point is 00:13:31 Well, apparently Zelensky says, with all due respect, we do not recognize Ukraine's $500 billion debt to the U.S. What? I'm sorry, what? Yeah. Okay, we'll come back to the... We're going to come back to that now? Yeah, we'll come back to it.

Starting point is 00:13:46 How small can a tiny home get? Stupid size. Yeah. So, somebody is excited that they built the world's smallest house. It's a cabinet for a person. It's not a small house. It's like the size of an outhouse. It's a coffin with a roof.

Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah, it's a, you know what? That is it. It is a coffin. It's 19 square feet. How do you sleep in it? 19 square feet. When you walk into it, it's literally a bench and then one counter. That's it.

Starting point is 00:14:18 The guy can't even stand up straight in it. You're in a little, that's like a doll house. That's not a tiny house. That's a shed. That's a he shed. Sir, that's a shed. This guy's brag. You know what? I'm saving this for tomorrow because I hate tiny houses so bad. If my hate was an energy, it would destroy them like the sun. I hate them that bad. I'm coming back to this. And I have a reason why. A tourist leaning out of a train for a selfie hit a rock. People, this 53-year-old woman was traveling on Sri Lanka's iconic Poti Maniki line. And then after she was literally hand. hanging out of the train to get a selfie and hit a rock. What? No, she's dead. The rock hit her to death.

Starting point is 00:15:09 Like, as she was just flap and it, dead. Why? Stop falling into canyons. Stop falling and hitting stuff with your head on trains. Just stop. It's sad and that what is so frustrating is that this is preventable. Stop it. In Australia, if the animal's dead,

Starting point is 00:15:31 don't kill you. The dirt will. Apparently people are dying from a soil-borne disease after flooding in one area. This is coming from Australian media. Channel 9 News in Australia. It's in far north Queensland. Two people yesterday. One person kicked the bucket last week. 21 cases total. It's, I don't even know if I'm saying this right. Meliodiosias. I don't know. It's a serious infectious disease caused by soil bacteria in northern Australia. It enters into broken skin or contaminated water and it can cause pneumonia and it's a tropical disease and it's from a bacteria called burkeholder it is blah and it's found in like southeast Asia and Northern Australia and it's gross it's just gross stuff in the dirt so stop stop touching dirt

Starting point is 00:16:19 just it's like Australia is like the Florida of the world on roids like I said I didn't watch the SAG Award stuff didn't watch any of that Jane we were talking about Hanoi Jane a little earlier who went up. This is audio sound by 25. She went up and she was ranting about Trump and then she talked about, I don't think she knows what empathy is. Go ahead and play this. Make no mistake. Empathy is not weak or woke. And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people. No, it doesn't. That's not what it means, Jane, but that's okay. I'm not going to have like the woman who gave Aiden comfort to the enemy during the Vietnam War. Sit here and lecture everybody else's to what is or is not empathy. please, Barbaraella. We're not, we're not doing that. Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody's going to sit here and get lectured by you of all people about that. But she went up and I don't know why. She, she's, she says that Hollywood needs to fight these fraught times with empathy. So what they believe, what that,

Starting point is 00:17:16 they believe empathy is calling again, everyone who doesn't think exactly like you, racist, sexist, Nazi. That's their idea of empathy. Because they said, oh, we have to, you know, tell, she said in her full remarks. She's like, we're actors. We create empathy. You know, we have to understand other humans so profoundly so we can touch their souls. I don't know. Maybe they tugged on her brain too hard when they were lifting her face up out of her breasts. I don't know. But

Starting point is 00:17:42 you know, come on. Nobody believes this. And then she goes on this spiel about Trump and people who voted for Trump, etc. Go back and look at how the left ran off the normies. That's when they lost this election. And they lost the fight in society because

Starting point is 00:17:57 people don't want to be around somebody who bitches and loans all the time. You guys know, like, negative people drain you. They drain you. I cannot stand super negative people. I don't have nothing to do with them. They absolutely, they're energy vampires. They drain you. And that's how the Democrat Party is. It's an energy vampire. They just drain you. Everything is somebody else's problem that they didn't have anything to do with, even if they did. There's no accountability. There's no culpability unless it's something they think that they can use to their advantage. There's no consistency. And the stuff that they focus on, I've been saying this since 2016, even before then. You know, I remember when I was covering the election,

Starting point is 00:18:40 election night 2016, and I'm in New York, and I was kind of, I can't remember who it was. I was going back with a Democrat operative. And he was just, he was saying that his, his argument was that, well, Trump just might be a little better at messaging to blue collar. And I interrupted him at some point. I think Mike Huckabee was sitting in between us. And I remember saying to the effect, he just looked shock. I'm like, that's not it. That is not it. The problem is, is that you guys forgot what it's like for the average everyday person. You guys have no idea what regular people are dealing with. They have no idea how people are struggling when they go and buy groceries. They have no idea how people are trying to figure out, okay, well, what am I going to

Starting point is 00:19:17 pick in life? Am I going to pick to pay my health care bills? Am I going to pay help with my sick parents? Because now we're seeing more and more people in the sandwich generation. Are we going to pay for a kids college or trade school or something like that. I mean, they're trying to figure out how they're going to be able to sustain themselves, raise their kids, care for their parents. They're in a bit of a pickle. And Democrats have done nothing but call everybody names and bitch about Trump. And they've done that since 2016. And I remember sitting there that election telling this this operative. I'm like, this is what your whole campaign has been about, has been about how much you dislike Trump. People can't eat on that. They can't balance their checkbook on that.

Starting point is 00:19:52 They can't pay their mortgage on that. They can't send their kids to college on that. They can't get a job on that. They can't retire on that. So how about you get something substantial and maybe reconfigure your party platform and try running on actual issues instead of bitching and moaning? And they were just shocked. I remember that there was just like when we went, gosh, I'm trying to remember. I haven't seen him too much.

Starting point is 00:20:16 But when we went back to the green room on break because they brought us out in panels, he didn't say anything to me. I don't think he liked my answer too much. Well, that's not my damn problem. That's your problem. And you still got it. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast.
