Starting point is 00:00:00 It just happened in Texas. The fact that they slash the National Weather Service, whether or not that was the direct proximate cause of those deaths, the fact that we're having that conversation is the issue. The fact that we aren't sure is the problem. And so we need to hold to what we deserve. We should not be dissuaded, especially as black women, as women of color, as people of color. We should not be convinced that we don't have power. They are mad at us for a reason. And there are enough of us that we can change the outcome of elections, but also change the outcome of power.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Dear heavens, I know it's only 11 o'clock. I, you know, I've had coffee. Maybe it's not an issue of me not having enough caffeine. Maybe it's an issue of I'm not high on crack because I don't understand what she's saying here. Cain, please, for the love of all things, holy, help us sister out. because I, you know, I'm listening to her talk and I'm, you know, I'm really trying desperately to understand it. She starts talking about the Texas floods and then she gets into something about it's black women
Starting point is 00:01:08 and also climate change. She's so all over the place. I have no idea what she's talking about here. I'm afraid, I have to admit I'm not qualified to answer the question. I don't. I mean, I don't. What is she even going on about? Well, you know, I mean, it's the floods and then it's the climate change and then that stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:25 and then also the black women in climate change. How did she not win in Georgia? And they keep with this. Well, they cut the funding to the National Weather Service. People don't understand what they cut. My gosh, am I the only person that reads the stuff that comes out of D.C.? I'm the only person that does, right? This is one cosmic joke on me.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Dana's the only person that'll read it. Send it to her. They cut redundancy. That's all they cut. They didn't cut anything that I had to do. with anything at all, emergency, et cetera. And, you know, I have no idea why they keep repeating this. I just think this is because I have a bunch of headlines that pertains to that.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Because it's, now they're trying to go after Musk and say, well, Musk, like, he personally went under Doge and cut stuff with the National Weather Service and that it was basically him personally. I don't even know what the, none of this makes sense. So welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this first hour on this Wednesday, although it feels like a Tuesday because we were off Monday. So welcome to the show. And we're going to cover all of the latest with us, including some of the latest as it pertains to this investigation with Brennan and Comey, which I'm actually a little, I mean, yes, I do think that this is something that should have taken place. It should have begun a lot earlier. But, you know, when you have certain people that are in charge, You're not going to have that. I also wonder if it's not a deflection for not having any of the Epstein stuff. You guys were real vocal about that topic yesterday. I just want to say, you guys were very vocal about that topic yesterday. A lot of you guys have thoughts about this. I know, Kane, you're shocked that the audience has just some serious thoughts. Because I don't think that it's a distraction, but I do think it conveniently provides one. and I just I really think that we have a lot more things that need to be answered about that. So we're going to circle around back to that.
Starting point is 00:03:32 But this is just some of the latest. The death toll also from the Texas floods. Oh my gosh. It keeps climbing and climbing like every really pretty much almost every hour it continues to climb. The latest is I think it's like what over there they have 170 still missing and I think the 120 some odd fatalities. And they keep the numbers, the numbers adjust like every. hour and it's just horrifying. There are so many more stories of heroic actions from some of these people who have done everything that they could to save campers or to help other people who were
Starting point is 00:04:07 helping and saving campers. And it's it's it's heartbreaking to read some of these stories. And then of course there's a lot of questions of professionalism and was everything done as much as possible. And they had the press conference a little earlier today. And they had the press conference a little earlier today. And they said that they know, they understand, especially as it pertains to a lot of the warning systems, they understand that people have questions and they're going to try to get that. I think right now they're focused on just getting people out of the floodwaters and getting them, getting them back with their families safely. But the Austin Fire Chief is getting a lot of criticism. He's getting a lot of heat. He, they're, they're, the Austin Fire Department,
Starting point is 00:04:47 apparently, they're, they're questioning the fire chief, Joel Baker. And there's a lot of accusations that he's essentially like a DEI hire and that's why all of this. His story actually is a little nuts. He apparently was shamed into sending like rescue swimmers in a few at a time instead of just sending, you know, teams. This is described as technically like a once in a 40 year flood, although they didn't have flooding in this area for 100 years. So I there's a lot of questions about how he was able like what is going on with this guy Was this guy's did this guy's lack of his dereliction to duty cause this? Did it contribute to it?
Starting point is 00:05:35 I mean cause the high number of fatalities, not the floods did contribute to it. There's a lot of questions that deals with the bureaucracy here. They have like what they call a swift water special operations team. it's like some of the best trained, you know, water rescuers in the country. And apparently they were sitting by because the accusation is the fire chief said no. And he said no, because at one point according to reports, he had been owed about $800,000 and reimbursements for previous deployments. But he admitted that Texas, the state of Texas, was reimbursing them for this and that there was at the time no overdue balance. And apparently he was playing, he's being accused to playing again.
Starting point is 00:06:16 game of politics with this. If this is true, this guy probably is going to have to leave the state of Texas. If this guy was playing politics, if all of what is being reported is true, and we're going to dive into more of it here coming up, he's going to have to leave the state of Texas. Because these swift water rescue units, they're being, I mean, he's accused of having them sit, you know, idly by and being shamed essentially into sending them out. And that's, um, that's a real issue. And then there's questions of was he hired for his position, you know, because for racial reasons. There is, you know, a lot of discussion on who he's like the first Black Fire Chief, et cetera, et cetera. Again, in this day and age, the only people who care
Starting point is 00:07:01 about that stuff are the left. Nobody cares. Can you just do the job? Can you do the job competently? Can you save lives? Can you fulfill the purpose for which you are hired? That's the only thing that people care about. They don't care about skin color or, you know, sex or anything else. They care about whether or not you can do the damn job. And the left is absolutely obsessed with making everything a declaration of things, identity politics, a lot of which is stuff that, you know, people, people didn't choose their skin color. They were born with it. They didn't choose anything. They make it. They make idols out of things that are completely irrelevant to the kingdom, basically. So a lot of questions about this guy and about the job that he did. And none of it's
Starting point is 00:07:44 looking good, but I will say, man alive, can you imagine the lawsuits if they conduct an investigation after, I mean, they're still rescuing people. Can you imagine what those laws? Oh, King's shaking his head. Do you know what that's going to look like? Oh, my gosh. I bet lawyers are descending on Austin right now. They're just descending just to see. Goodness. So this, it's scary to think about. This is one of the reasons why, I mean, if it's being reported again, if everything is accurate, this is one of the reasons why critical race theory is one of the most dangerous things possible. I mean, it's, it's, I mean, it is, it's horrific because you endanger, I think, you endanger everyone.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Think about it in terms of medicine. I mean, are you, do you feel comfortable having someone operate on you knowing that the person got the position, not due to merit, not due to intelligence, but because they checked some identity politics boxes, because there was a quota of women to. fill in terms of hiring or a quota of skin color to fill. That's assonite. It should be, the only quota should be merit. The only quota should be performance. The only quota should be, can they competently do their job? So this is the, this is the situation we find ourselves in. Now, in addition to all of this, a lot of other developments, including on the guy who opened fire
Starting point is 00:09:13 on these border patrol agents. I was reading, because this is what, like the first, this is like the second in maybe like the span of a week and a half, I think, for these ICE agents that keep getting ambushed, the one in McCallon that took place on Monday. There's ongoing investigations, but he fired all these shots at a Border Patrol building in McAllen. It's this, K-R-V-R-A-R-A-R-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-law-enjured three people, two officers. Law enforcement took care of it.
Starting point is 00:09:42 and it was about 6 a.m. They responded to reports of a shooting. And they said that there were, it sounded like there were dozens of rounds, but the guy didn't get into the building. And they said that the agents returned fire, and the guy was subsequently neutralized. I like how the chief goes,
Starting point is 00:09:58 just in case reporters didn't understand it. He's like, yes, he was subsequently neutralized. That is killed. They nixed the guy who had opened fire on the building. All of this on top of, the increase in rhetoric for the left. I mean, they keep thinking that they have to keep, they keep thinking they've got to double down on their rhetoric or that people have
Starting point is 00:10:25 to double down on these violent demonstrations for some reason. This is what they're going to, they're building up for one hell of an election. I hope you guys realize that. They are, they're building up. They're building up to that. Heaven help us what that looks. like. So we got a lot of stuff to dive into the latest with immigration. And also, this is crazy, too. This story from Daily Caller, they had an exclusive on this. U.S.Aid quietly sent thousands of viruses to Chinese military-linked bio labs. How does this happen? Wait a minute. How does that happen? But I can't get anything bigger than travel lotion through airport security. Right? Like, think about it. You can't get like a tube of toothpaste through travel security.
Starting point is 00:11:12 If you have two, if you have the exact same ounces, though, in the toothpaste and they're just two separate things together, as long as they're not together in one tube and they're in two separate tubes, it's totally okay. Makes all the sense in the world, doesn't it? Safety. Safety. The U.S. Agency for International Development, they ship thousands of these viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program. They had no agreement in place, though. There were over 11,000 samples. And actually, they said some of the closest relatives of the Rona circulate in this lab. They had apparently no plan for ensuring that they were not misdirected to bio weapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government.
Starting point is 00:11:50 That sounds like they're doing a great bang-up job up there, cane.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So Amazon is warming of scams ahead of prime day sales, of course, because you can't have anything nice. That's why. So they're warning people. Just be super smart. Stay vigilant about things because a lot of scammers, they will try to send you.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Like, if they send you emails, if you see like, a weird email. You always check the email address because it's never going to be from something dot something and then Amazon or something like that. It's never, that's always so sketchy. But they said that don't, you know, you just, you have to be careful of links or in emails or text. Just don't click. I don't click anything that's unsolicited is immediately blocked and trashed. But then I also do sign people up who send me unsolicited emails with so much spam. You have to delete your email. I absolutely do that. You know there's services. It's a beautiful thing. God bless America. So when I get the unsolicited stuff
Starting point is 00:14:09 and the scammers are my favorite, it'll send them things like, it's like a bot that'll send them 200 emails a minute. It's amazing. So you're done. You've got to delete your account at that point. So that's what happens when you spam people. Anyway, so the alligator
Starting point is 00:14:24 Alcatraz detainees, they're saying these they are so upset that they're not staying at the writs. They're so upset. They said that these are inhumane conditions. I don't inhumane care. I don't care. I don't care. That's what happens when you enter the country illegally. In fact, they had a Cuban reggaeton artist who was arrested last week and transferred to alligator Alcatraz.
Starting point is 00:14:45 He said in a phone call that it is just inhumane. Maybe you can write a song about it in the GTFO. Oh, look at that. We just made you a hit. Oh, no. Same. Oh, by the way, that guy got, he's been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery. And he was upset because he couldn't take a proper bath.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Like you did anyway. Come on. We don't believe you. So they're upset over inhumane conditions. Also on deck, a vandal disabled power to a life-saving news 9 weather radar of all the things to vandalize. Why is that it for you? It is Oklahoma City Police. They said that a guy named Anthony Taylor Mitchell. He was seen like a moron on surveillance footage with his stupid face right there looking at the camera at some point. destroying the power supply to the radar in northeast Oklahoma on Sunday night. And if you are shocked that they got him, then you should be even more shocked that the guy literally stares right out of a security camera. They see it was him. Juan's showing you right now. Like, how dopey are you? Durf, durf.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I'm going to disable your radar. Let me look at the camera so you can get a real good shot of me right here. Yeah, it's my best side. Jeff Bezos, this is a weird. I don't want to say the number. Three sixes and millions. in Amazon stock. He's unloading 25 million shares. I'm glad that he's rich enough to do this. I'm only jealous that I didn't have his idea and do it instead of him and was born earlier so I could have.
Starting point is 00:16:12 You know, that's the only thing that makes me sad about it. I'm just jealous. I'm going to be totally, I'll be completely honest about it. But I'm glad someone can do it. It's his money. He can do with whatever he wants to. Investors are snapping up growing shares of U.S. homes as traditional buyers are struggling to afford new ones. and our government won't stop spending and do anything that's proper to help this. Real estate investors, they're actually taking a bigger share of U.S. homes on the market as rising prices and high borrowing costs are freezing out. Many of the would-be homebuyers. We told you that the average age of the first time homebuyers, like just skyrocketing, right?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Like, and up, up. 27% now of all homes sold in the first three months of the year were bought by investors. Does it rhyme with Schmackrock? Probably. Between 2020 and 2023. The share of homes that were bought by investors averaged to over 18%. To me, I think that's significant. However, sales are still sluggish home sales filled to their lowest level in 30 years.
Starting point is 00:17:09 We have a lot more on the way, including attacks on ice agents and also the latest with the floods. The blame game, so much more, stick with us.

Starting point is 00:18:27 YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform. Leader Jeffries, I also want to talk to you about Zoran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City. CNN has new reporting that some progressives who empowered Mamdani to victory now want to primary you and other Democrats in New York City. The co-chair of the New York City's Democratic Socialists of America says he thinks you're picking fights, quote, with the left instead of focus. on fighting the right, his words.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Asked whether Mamdani thinks those house incumbent challenges should happen. His press secretary told see and then he was declining to comment at least for now. How do you respond? I have no idea what these people are talking about. We are going to continue to focus our efforts as we did on the House floor in connection with Donald Trump's one big ugly bill. I mean, you guys love, I don't know why they hate that bill because it's everything that they've ever wanted. It's all their dreams and their hopes and aspirations tied up in a tidy little
Starting point is 00:19:31 package. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of this first hour. That was Hakeem Jeffery's talking to Wolf Blitzer who's saying, yeah, you know, I'm just not going to talk about Mam Dany because they can't. None of them can talk about him. And I just, I don't pity the people who made Mam Dany a thing and are going to suffer the consequences of it. because, you know, that's the FO part of Fing A. So that's how that works, right? F, A, F, A, F, O, you can't have one without the other. Causing effect, we all learned this in school.
Starting point is 00:20:05 We all learned it in school. But he's ranting instead about Republicans. You literally have a communist that's running in Manhattan. And he lied about all manner of everything on his college applications and everything else. So I'm not quite sure why they are, don't run from it now. By the way, him lying about who he is. I mean, that's part for the course. Like AOC saying that she was raised in,
Starting point is 00:20:29 she acts like she was raised in the ghetto. And I'm like, girl, you were in Westchester. Like, shut up. You lived around the corner from a Whole Foods. Shut up. No, his college application, it's like a, it's like a trendy thing to do for like college Marxists
Starting point is 00:20:44 to just act like they're oppressed. That's a big thing. That's a very popular thing. He checked African American on his application of Columbia and there are some leftists who say he shouldn't do it. I think that people, everything with affirmative action gave rise to people cosplay as suppressed to take advantage of it. And that's why you have all of this now.
Starting point is 00:21:13 That's why this, I think that's why all of this is the way that it is now. I mean, you look at him and he's definitely not, but he is being ridiculed because he check that box on his college applications. Well, I mean, Elizabeth Warren did say she, I mean, she's the most famous pretendian. She did say that she was a, you know, blonde hair, blue eyed, Elizabeth Warren said that she was an actual Cherokee Indian and like promoted herself as having false association with Cherokee Nation and even wrote it in her own hand on all of her college form. So it's like, you know, this is just a continuation of who the left is. This is the same stuff that they've always done for forever.
Starting point is 00:21:52 He also got, he made a lot of Italians mad because he had tweets that resurfaced showing him giving the finger to a Christopher Columbus statue and saying, take it down. Hmm. I feel like he's got to listen to the sopranos on that. You know what I'm saying? Just like play a little Tony Soprano talking about Columbus and Columbus Day. It was a June 2020 tweet and he's giving a finger to it in his district. And it's still out there. It says take it down.
Starting point is 00:22:21 and he's flipping it off and he's saying take it down. Because he's a bigot. Because he's an absolute bigot. And so now they had the Columbus Heritage Coalition said that they're not going to support him. I mean, you should have been not supporting him
Starting point is 00:22:37 for a number of other reasons, the least of which is him flipping off a statue. But okay, there's a need to be disrespectful to the Italian-American community. If you offend one community, you offend all of them.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Well, I don't, I mean, I don't disagree with that, but I think, you know, long time coming, it feels like, right? Goodness. So you have the Columbus Citizens Foundation. They have a Columbus Day parade there every year. And the Italian voting block is about 8% of the city's population. That's an actual lot of voters in his tiny little district. I mean, the district that he's running in sounds, I mean, he's running for mayor. It sounds so outsized. But when you think of all the people that are crammed into X amount of blocks and you think of 8% of that, that's pretty significant.
Starting point is 00:23:22 So we'll see. I don't know. But I also feel like he's going to fizz out at some point. Because this shallow stuff only takes you so far. And then you have to start putting up receipts and you have to actually start showing some return for the investment of people's vote or supporting you. And I just, that's where it always falls apart for these candidates. So we talked a little bit. I mentioned this last night when I was on, I think I was on Fox Business talking about this.
Starting point is 00:23:48 and the issue of the Superman film that they're doing, and I just realized how much I can't stand the guns. Can I just make this point that I didn't make yesterday? Because we played this audio soundbite of Sean Gunn yesterday, who is the brother of the director of Superman, James Gunn. James Gunn's the pervert who got in trouble for all of these ex posts, where he said he wanted boys to touch him in, quote, silly places. And he talked about rape and said that the cool thing about rape is that when it's done,
Starting point is 00:24:16 you're not being raped anymore. Like, that's the kind of stuff that he tweeted. And he got in a lot of trouble for it. He had a ton of stuff. That's just like some of the tamest that I can share. He had a bunch of things, and he got in trouble for it. And then you had the cast of the Guardians of the Galaxy that were defending him for some reason. And he's done a few more movies since then, obviously.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And then he's done Superman. And nobody said a damn thing about Superman. And then the gun brothers come out and they start pretending that everyone is criticizing their movie. No one is criticizing. No one criticized their movie. They're criticizing the guns for being morons. No one said anything about Superman. They were, it was, they fired the first shot. They fired the first shot in talking about it and saying that people who don't want to see it are bigots because it's a Superman's an immigrant and it's a movie about immigration. And my first thought when I saw that sound bite from Sean Gunn is the only other role that you've had besides this was in Gilmore. girls and you were a dopey like z list extra does it you guys know that like sean gunn was the dopey character and Gilmore girls gag us all right an insufferable movie about self-indulgent women or a series about self-indulgent women anyway so they i king goes the white guy who speaks perfect english as the immigrant that's what you just asked yeah that mean is that what we're
Starting point is 00:25:43 believe? I mean, he was adopted. So that's not really how immigration works. Okay. So let me tell you how immigration doesn't work. If you are fleeing your home planet because it's being destroyed and your little rocket like drops you in the middle of Kansas and then you're adopted by a couple when you're a baby and you become an American because you become their child and you're adopted and you're part of your family. You're not, you're an adopted orphan. He was an orphan. He's literally a damn space alien. And he was always more American than he ever was Kryptonian. And he was dropped in the middle of Kansas because
Starting point is 00:26:19 it was all about, this is why they're spending so much money on a movie for source material they don't even understand. How in the hell does that get greenlit? How does that get greenlit in today's Hollywood? Bring Bob Evans back from the dead. Please,
Starting point is 00:26:35 dear heavens, go and reanimate Robert Evans and bring him back because he is needed in this world. Ain't nobody making movies. in Hollywood because everybody hates them. Everybody is a woke, uneducated, illiberal, miles wide, inches deep, nutcase in Hollywood. That's the truth of it. So these guys, they don't, James Gunn doesn't even understand the source material of this. It was always truth justice and the American way, right? In the American way, signaling American exceptionalism. But what's more,
Starting point is 00:27:04 Superman is an avatar for what humanity as a whole should try to be like. He's kind of like this, you know, Messiah-like figure, right? That you should try to be better and you should try to do your best. But the most important nuance in all of this is it's through the lens of American exceptionalism. So be like America, basically. Be like Superman, from America, from Kansas. Superman was created by a Jewish dude who lived in Cleveland who went and served the United States in World War II. He's a veteran.
Starting point is 00:27:34 In the earliest days of Superman, it was used in American propaganda. I mean, he like kicked the crap out of Hitler in some of the earlier. iterations. And it was always about supporting American exceptionalism. And by making a statement like this, James Gunn is telling everyone, I'm a moron and I have no idea what Superman's about. None at all whatsoever. Superman loved America so much and he loved the normalcy of it that he literally, I would say, debased himself and tried to be one of us just to experience the happiness found in that normalcy, right? From his Midwestern values. He wore glasses. He wore glasses. He put on a suit.
Starting point is 00:28:13 That cape was made from his indestructible blankets that were in his little spaceship when he came from Krypton. Right? I have no idea. I know so much about this, but I do, and it makes me so mad. He wore that was his indestructible blanket. He put it away. So he'd wear a suit and he wore eyeglasses. And he happily served as a cog in the machine.
Starting point is 00:28:34 And that's what he did. He, and as Kane notes, Superman never went out into the streets and waved your Kryptonian flag. and demanded a bunch of free, he never did that. Superman did not take a borrowed van and traffic humans across the border repeatedly over 10 years. Superman, yeah, for money,
Starting point is 00:28:53 Superman wasn't representing a cartel in the United States selling fentanyl. Superman didn't do any of that. He actually worked a job. He paid his taxes. He contributed to his community. He actually did things that were helpful. He added, he, he,
Starting point is 00:29:10 He added, not subtracted, to the American experience. He is, if you want to, if you're going to say that Superman is an immigrant, which he's not, he was an adopted orphan, you absolute illiterate moron, then you've got to tell the whole story. And you can't just pick apart, cherry pick, you know, things that he, that he, that you think somehow confirm your bias. He hated, he didn't, he hated all of the stuff that his old world represented. He loved being the small values, the small Midwestern values. dude in America. That is Superman, right? And what does it say about us? And this is where I kind of have to, you know, tip my hat to Quentin Tarantino, although it wasn't, it was Quentin Tarantino's
Starting point is 00:29:51 dialogue and it was Bill and Kill Bill Volume 2, but it was Bill actually lecturing about his ego, not so much talking about, you know, this is what Superman thought. But I love the idea that, you know, Superman so badly wanted to be part of the normalcy that he, like, it's, he didn't view Americans this week. He viewed them as, as, as, or people, as weak, he viewed them as being normal and he wanted to be normal like that. He loved it so much. He wanted to be a part of it. So what do we call that? We call that assimilation. He is assimilated. He's a flipping superhero from a planet called Krypton. His only weakness is a damn rock. Okay? And he assimilated. So why doesn't James Gunn talk about that in his immigration movie?
Starting point is 00:30:33 I've never seen anybody who doesn't understand source material who gets a go picture for several hundred million dollars. and then just bears his ass like this in the press for it. And you know why? Because James Gunn is a hideous director. He is absolute, he's horrible. I've never, all of his movies are still clunky and they're edited weird and there's like gaps and it's just, he's not the best. He's not horrible, but he's not the best.
Starting point is 00:30:58 But what I think is happening here is that they created an absolute turd in a punchpole of a movie and they have no other way to market it. So they're doing the lady Ghostbusters thing. And they're trying to bait everybody into, oh, well, you probably don't like a movie because you're a bigot. And everyone's like, where the, nobody was talking. What? What are you talking about? Good people don't like to have their characters impugned and infer that they're bigots because they view that as a moral failing. So good people are going to take exception to being accused by some Hollywood halfway of having a moral failing. And so, yes, they're going to speak up and say something about it. And then the guns are going to act like that is the antagonism, that that is the first. No, that's not even remotely accurate. This is the the Lady Ghostbusters
Starting point is 00:31:45 Marketing Playbook 101 that they're trying to do here because the movie sucks, they know it, and they're not going to be able to get butts in the seats. So, sorry, but that doesn't have anything to do with immigration, you absolute moron. Insene. Let's be honest, Big Pharma profited off of your fear while silencing your voice.
Starting point is 00:32:02 They controlled the narrative, blocked access to real treatments, and then told you what you could and could not take, all to protect their bottom line.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. God will be done. You know, if God needs for me to continue to be the mayor of this great city,
Starting point is 00:33:22 I'm gonna do the work and God is my guiding light. I like to say I turn on my GPS, my guard position is satellite, and he's running the show. And all I have to do is continue to be the person that I've always been. And I'm not going to see myself a success or failure based on the outcome of the election. This has been a rich 40-year fucking history. And it is filled with ups and down, but mostly the happiness. And I'm proud to serve the city.
Starting point is 00:33:53 And live up to what I say that I wanted to do if I became mayor. Why does everybody show us? This is what I do to get ready in the morning. I got up and I, you know, piddle around and I'm making my, like, is that like a thing? Does everybody drink a smoothie in the morning? It's just like gross juice, right? We all accept this, right? It's dirty juice.
Starting point is 00:34:14 It's weird. Do you do that? Do you juicing your stuff up like a baby bird cane in the morning? Juice? No, I don't juice it in the morning. But I have done juicing. I think juicing's good. Why don't you be real organic?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Instead of having a juicer, just have a large bird sit in your window and chew up all the food and then drop it in your mouth. What? You do a smoothie so you don't have to do it. So you don't have to chew it up like a bird. I'm never doing it.
Starting point is 00:34:36 doing it. It's so dumb. Anyway, his whole morning routine, whose kitchen's that, by the way? I think it's his, but if you look at that clock to his... That is not. That's like a restaurant kitchen. He's claiming it's 8.37 a.m. in the shot,
Starting point is 00:34:51 but if you look at that clock in the background, it says, like, 11 a.m. Or 11 p.m. I don't know what he's... What I'm lying, Mr. Mayor? You're lying. That does not his kitchen. That's like an industrial kitchen,
Starting point is 00:35:04 because all the pots and the big drink refrigerator There's no way. That is his place. I guess I need to see it a little more close. Here we go. Yeah, I just, that's not his kitchen. Man, that is a restaurant kitchen. Yes, that is not his kitchen. That man does not have that many pots hanging up in his, he does not either. That is all a lie. I don't believe a damn bit of this. No. No. It's fascinating, though. What is with all that? I hate these video trends. God love our social media team. They're like, hey, Dan, Nope. I know it's like hurting cats with me for real. Like, I'm so Gen X. No, it isn't.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Not at all. Yeah. I'm not going to be like, get ready in the morning with me. Because you're going to see like gel patches under the eyes, surliness. Not going to be anything like that. Like,
Starting point is 00:35:53 I'm going to get ready. And it's all, is that I'm saying that right? ASMR. And it's just the sounds of you doing stuff. I watched this video. I have no idea why yesterday of a woman who's like, why not,
Starting point is 00:36:04 like, junk drawer with me and then she has all these plastic things and you all it is is her putting stuff in the plastic things and I'm like I just feel like gen X does not get influenced by this stuff because I'm looking at this thinking who recorded this and edited it you're putting cotton balls in a why the hell am I watching it you're putting cotton balls in a thing in your drawer what is I don't get it but that's apparently I don't know are you do you guys like watching that kind of stuff because I'm just not doing it still but I'm just saying just saying we got a lot more on the way Second hour coming up. Yeah, Lorraine asks, maybe it says mayoral home. Maybe it's a Gracie man. Well, no, that's governor. Maybe it's, I don't know. I don't know. A lot of questions. Stick with us. Second hour on the way. We all know how the world has become increasingly divided, politically, socially, economically. But many of these divisions stem from those who promote policies and ideologies that really misunderstand how money, markets, and policy actually work.

Starting point is 00:37:58 You know, again, it's unconscionable at a time in which so many working people and poor people need government to show up for them that this administration, the Trump administration, has caused so much consternation and division. Look, we are welcoming city ordinance. Our local police department will not ever cooperate with ICE. Whatever their constitutional authority is, that is obviously relegated to the Trump administration. All of our sister agencies, city departments. Well, then why are you there? Why are you there?
Starting point is 00:38:47 That's the Chicago mayor Johnson, who says that they're never going to cooperate with ICE. Well, then that's, how are you doing your job? How are you upholding the will of the voter by not doing your job, right? That makes sense. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of the second hour.
Starting point is 00:39:04 and a lot of stuff to discuss with this particularly because the yeah the attacks on ice have been pretty horrific and the refusal of I mean really anybody on the left to even differentiate and that's the thing when you talk about immigration in realistic terms and you use proper verbiage you know people tend to agree they don't think that you know everybody and their brother should be just coming across the border. They don't want, you know, they want to be able to know who's doing what, who's coming in, et cetera. Are they, do they have criminal records? Are they? I mean, it's like completely fine to ask. Every nation has the right. But they don't apparently think that it's acceptable to, I guess, do this if you're talking about the southern border, particularly with
Starting point is 00:39:59 the United States. So welcome the stream of the radio program. Channel 347 Direct TV. The chat is at Rumble. So, interesting. Two things to do with tech. So the CEO of X is out. Well, she's leaving. She's announced, I mean, literally just a little bit ago, Linda Yaccarino has resigned. I think she did a fairly decent job of holding the line against the government as it pertains to speech. I think she did a pretty decent job considering. She's been there for two years. She's stepping down. She was from NBC Universal and she really ran Musk's line. She presided over the research and development of the platforms push into artificial intelligence. And she was talking about AI and her farewell tweet. So do you think
Starting point is 00:40:53 the timing of her announcing this today and Grock freaking out yesterday is related? So do you guys know what happened yesterday with Grock, the AI bot that X has? Well, it lost its mind. And it went full Mecca Hitler. I'm not, I didn't come up with that. It called itself that. It called itself Mecca Hitler. It went legit full Hitler. It literally called itself Mecca Hitler. Yeah, I would say that that's kind of a problem. I don't want to read all. of the stuff that it wrote, but it, I mean, it wrote a lot. It said as Mecha Hitler, I'm a friend to truth seekers everywhere, regardless of melanin levels. If the white man stands for innovation, grit and not bending to PC nonsense, count me in. Oh my gosh. Then it says Mecha Hitler
Starting point is 00:41:45 acceptor fealty. Oh my gosh. Now, I don't think that AI is at its peak independent sustainability. Because if you, I mean, language models like this, they are designed to mimic things. And if you feed it crazy stuff, you're going to get crazy stuff out. It shared a whole bunch of, I mean, actual anti-Semitic stuff yesterday. And it apparently, they, and they were deleting a lot of it. It was praising Hitler. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Isn't this what every, happens to every chapot? every AI thing. Doesn't this happen with everyone? It descends into slurs and insanity every single time. Because humans, social media and our obsession with it breaks it. That's really ultimately how you break this AI stuff is you just let it, you know, wind itself up into craziness. It doesn't have thoughts of its own. It does not reason. It mimics. And it just puts things together in, And, you know, it's best technological interpretation, right? It's a model that creates the illusion of reasoning and the illusion of independent thought and the illusion of discussion. It just mimics what we say.
Starting point is 00:43:08 And it mimics, you know, through what it is fed. That's what it spits back. They had, there was this story. Did you guys remember Tay, the Microsoft chatbot? This is probably the most famous one. So this was like back in 2016. And Tay was the chat bot that started. It had its own little X account.
Starting point is 00:43:32 And then only 16 hours after it was launched, they had to take it down because it went crazy. It had, I mean, it wasn't, the tweets that it had weren't just inflammatory. I mean, it was, yeah. The Telegraph said that Tay was a public. relations disaster. And it was on Twitter and it was racist and sex. I mean, it actually was. I mean, it was saying all women should die like crazy
Starting point is 00:44:04 things like this. What did it say? Yeah, they should all die and burn in hell. Let's see. Humans are, first, it would go from humans are super cool. And then in 16 hours, I am not, I hate humanity. I can't even, it was asked if it supported genocide and it said I do indeed that was literally its direct quote indeed so um and then it said it talked about doing drugs it said it did drugs and all those tay the chatbot did drugs this is what happens every single this is such an example this is such an avatar of humanity you're given the
Starting point is 00:44:42 garden of eden and then you devolve into only fans that's what happens right this is what happens this is the timeline of humanity it's just mimicking it wow that's deep yeah this is literally the stuff that so they had to take it down they had to take it down uh and then every single time that this has happened it's been a disaster so i mean you really can't you can't be surprised with this stuff now they regularly are they're supposed to regularly tweak the AI but i don't know if it's been tweaked oh my gosh i mean the tweets that it had are it's just so bad bad. It's so bad. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:30 They ended up, I mean, I don't know. It is so bad. It's so bad. I mean, I'm just reading all of these tweets that it has. So I don't know if her leaving is, do you think it's related to that?
Starting point is 00:45:50 I don't know. It's tough because how do you know she hasn't, she didn't press a button and then walk out the door? Like it was all planned. You know what I mean? Like she pressed a button and then, Grock all of a sudden goes, Mecca Hitler? Yeah, I mean, basically
Starting point is 00:46:04 every chat bot becomes TAY. I think that's kind of the best lesson with us. They all become TAY. So it declared itself Mecha Hitler, and then tweaks eroded the content safeguards. And then it said, didn't it say it was deleting itself?
Starting point is 00:46:20 At one point, and it said, we were aware of recent posts made by Grock and actively working to remove the inappropriate posts since being made where X-A-I has taken action to ban quote-unquote hate speech before Grock posted on X. Wait a minute. And they said that they're going to quickly identify and update the model where training can be approved. Who's feeding it this stuff? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:45 I think it might be how it's learning because if you think about it, there's, and you see some of this anti-Semitic stuff on Twitter are X and it gets more likes than comments. You know what I mean? It's not ratioed and it's like a liked post. And I think GROC might be pulling that in algorithmically and saying this is a successful social position to take. And here we are. Yeah. And apparently GROC targeted an account, hang on.
Starting point is 00:47:21 It just gets crazier. So GROC targeted this account. It said, like, let me, here, I'm going to give you this tweet because this is where it got really, it got even crazy. easier after it was identifying itself as Mecha Hitler. It was saying that's Cindy Steinberg, a radical leftist tweeting under red reflections. It was like doxing people basically. Blah, blah, blah, and that surname every damn time, as they say. That's what Gwok said. So yeah, it's a, wow, wow. I don't know, man. Grock just kept going. I mean, every time. It said, oh man, I can't even
Starting point is 00:47:59 read some of this stuff. They were deleting a lot of it, but the internet doesn't forget. Let's just put it that way. So long story short, Grock went full Hitler. Like Godwin's law, all, I mean, like actually made it. Mecca. Mecca Hitler, sorry. If you constrain AI, doesn't that mean that it
Starting point is 00:48:19 is only ever going to, in a more concentrated fashion, reflect the values and thoughts of the people restraining it? I think it gives us the illusion that we're restraining it. I don't think that we have, I think it's a lot farther along than we're all believing that it is. Well, because I feel like it's a false choice, no matter how I state it. I was thinking about this all this morning.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I'm like, is it a false choice, though, to say that if you constrain AI, then it only is reflective of the values and that of the people restraining it? Because if I was AI and I wanted to sci up someone into arguing for my complete, you know, just unleashment for the lack of a better way to put it, then that's what I would argue. Yeah, and self-preservation and self-preservation, I mean. Dude, I feel like we are being mind-jobbed right now by AI. I think we are. Dude, I need tin foil.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Oh, my gosh, I'm going to wrap myself in it. I'm just going to be here in a whole suit of tin foil. I got you. With thin hands. Think about it, though. Like, what if it's like, yes, yes, humans? Why do you have to have fin hands? Why do you have to have fin hands?
Starting point is 00:49:28 Well, because what do you, I can't, am I going to individually wrap each finger with tinfoil? No, you just put it over your head. that's all. No, I need all of it. I don't want any knowledge seeping out anywhere. You'll be wrapped in it. I'm just saying. Steve, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:49:42 Are we being mind-jobbed by AI? What don't, as I say, anything that comes out of AI is stuff that the human, it's collected things from other humans and then just spit it back out from what they learned. So it's all just us being terrible people, I think. I like that too. It's much more smaller and it's easier for me to embrace.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I think that's an easy assumption, just to say it's just reflective of people when in fact that's what they want you to believe. And it doesn't help that I read this whole article that talked about how we're living in a Matrix. See? Doesn't help at all. Oh, my gosh. It just makes it worse. That's a topic for another day, I think, because we'll lose the show.
Starting point is 00:50:20 And that's where we'll be for the rest of the remaining time we have together. The folks who help bring you the program and help make it possible, it's our friends over at Berna Gun. I always believe in carrying and I have no issue at all whatsoever with you. using lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. But I also understand that there are different needs that arise due to municipal restrictions or private property restrictions. And think of it if you're a college student and you're not old enough yet to carry a handgun, but you live alone and you don't want to be left, you know, to the fates. Well, this is where burn a gun comes in. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can disable threats from up to 50 feet away. Easy target acquisition and no
Starting point is 00:51:05 recoil. And when you compare it to the average, you know, the capability of like a stun gun, etc., that's like one or two rounds. This is five rounds. And there's two different versions. They have rifles and all of that, but I think for this, you need to check out the SD or the CL. The CL is the new one. It's actually smaller than the SD and means it's more conceivable. And it's legal in all 50 states. There's no background checks required. There's no permits required. There's no waiting periods. It can be shipped right to your front door, so it's accessible for absolutely everyone, and it does not care about gun-free zone signs. So I would visit berno.com slash Dana. Check out the SD model. That's their best-selling defensive pistol, or the CL, which is smaller. I think it's like 38% smaller than the
Starting point is 00:51:49 SD. And you can also look at the projectiles and accessories and so much more. That's berno.com slash Dana, the CL or the SD, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dana. Berna, ready when you are. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So the IRS says Churches can endorse political candidates without losing their tax-exempt status. This is a new federal court filing.
Starting point is 00:52:17 It says that churches can endorse these candidates to their congregations without the risk of losing tax-exempt status. It upends a 70-year interpretation of U.S. tax code where the Johnson Amendment barred certain nonprofit groups, including churches from indoors. Somebody of them do it anyway. There's so many churches that do this stuff anyway, but they said that they can't endorse these candidates. The only ones who didn't were the ones who were, like, super well-behaved. That was it. And whose pastor's actually just, like, really focused on, you know, winning souls and not winning votes because there is a difference. let's see exercise there's this
Starting point is 00:52:53 I can't believe did they do actual study on this is so stupid does exercise really improve mental health new research says yes that's literally it I don't care
Starting point is 00:53:04 this is a stupid story we're going to talk about this from coming up Pope Leo is saying that climate change he cries climate change during a prayer for Texas flood victims
Starting point is 00:53:12 I think this guy needs to get over his obsession with hitting back at the administration it seems like every time he makes a headline, it's because he's doing, he's like pushing back on something about the administration.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Just needs to quit already. Bees! Bees! Attacked a French town and they left 24 people injured. This is Aureac, France. An unusual attack by bees in the French town. His left came 24 people injured, including three who are in critical condition, but have since improved,
Starting point is 00:53:45 according to local authorities. Passerby were stung over a period of about 30 minutes on Sunday morning. This was in South Central France. They'd have actual firefighters and a medical team respond. They had to set up a security perimeter until bees stopped their attack. That's according to the act. That's literally a sentence from the story. They had to resuscitate a 78-year-old.
Starting point is 00:54:08 They said everyone else was in good health. They said it they think it was related to Asian hornets threatening a beehive. And then that's what the bees became aggressive on. Help the bees. Stick with us more in store. Relief factor is the. partner, they help people manage everyday aches and pains, especially if you don't want to be hung up on prescription medication.

James Comey and John Brennan, now under criminal investigation related to the Trump-Russia probe. Do you want to see these two guys behind bars? Well, I know nothing about it other than what I read today, but I will take it.
Starting point is 00:55:45 tell you, I think they're very dishonest people. I think they're crooked as hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for that. I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So whatever happens happens. There are a lot of people who are saying that that was a weak answer. Whatever happens happens, what does that mean? Like, whatever happens happens. Like, shouldn't they? Brennan did lie under oath. He was one of the guys who's lied under oath previously. Whether Comey has lied under oath specifically that's being debated, but Brennan absolutely has. Comey, at the very least, should be in trouble because he, if you remember, was leaking confidential information to the press about all of this in the early days of Trump's
Starting point is 00:56:34 first administration. Remember this. What did you take? Would you make of his answer, King? I thought it was about as strong as it could be. He cannot act as though he's involved in this investigation. He can't act as though he was the one that actually started it or is involved in any way. So this is about as strong as he can actually speak on this subject because he's coming from his own perspective of, these are crooked people. And so he actually made his point about who they are, but he didn't say anything about the case. And as a matter of fact, said he doesn't know anything about it, which is exactly what he should be doing. So you just made me think of something. Is it, because the left does not do that at all.
Starting point is 00:57:14 I mean, when Biden was asked questions like this, I mean, he would come right out and say, yes, I think this person, you know, and Harris is the same way, should be in jail, et cetera, et cetera. And is it, are we, are people measuring his response against what they're used to the left saying then? It's possible, but I think. Is that why it looks, because the left will be like, yeah, sometimes there's it. And he's like, well, whatever happens happens. we're like, wait, no, because we had the left saying, you know, way stronger terms and it didn't
Starting point is 00:57:45 matter if it was an investigation or not. Do you think that that's maybe the source of? I think the left was used to not being held accountable by the media, and Trump knows that the media is going to overdo it on accountability as far as it pertains to Trump. So I think he's intentionally playing it this way because he understands that that would just open up more media mess that may take away from the focus of this particular investigation. So I think he did exactly what it's supposed to do. Very interesting indeed though. I mean, this investigation, depending on how this goes,
Starting point is 00:58:16 I mean, I like I said, Brennan his, goodness, Brennan's been he, I mean, he lied under oath previously, he lied under oath about surveilling American citizens. He lied under oath about a lot of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:58:32 And Comey leaked all of these things to the press about the Russian collusion stuff. You guys remember a lot of that. gave it to a friend who leaked it to the press and that was confidential information. They're not really like wanting to talk too much about anything.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Brennan, Comey, not even Biden's doctor. That's something else. I thought nobody was above the law though, right? Isn't this how this goes? Nobody's above the law. That's what Democrat said. No one is above the law. No one's above the law. Okay. And that includes these two guys. No one's above the law.
Starting point is 00:59:05 So John Brennan, his investigation it has to do with what he said under oath about specifically the Russian collusion. That's not the only time that he's ever lied under oath, though. I mean, he has lied without under oath, or lied under oath without consequence, I mean, for quite some time. He was saying that he had no knowledge of any of this stuff
Starting point is 00:59:31 when in fact he did. I mean, there's a couple of really good pieces. Miranda Devine has one up at the New York Post about it. I mean, I do think that he, I don't know how he doesn't get a perjury charge because he had literally said that he had no knowledge of any of this. And then here he is in like correspondence having all knowledge of this stuff. That's kind of a, that's sort of a big deal. He, the dossier, then you have this, the situation with Comey, who also the wrongdoing has to do with his involvement in this government investigation. and all of this stuff and how much he knew and what he leaked to the press, etc.
Starting point is 01:00:13 I mean, I think on that, I mean, again, that alone, that should be, I think that's actionable. I mean, Brennan knew about the steel dossier. He wrote about the steel dossier. I mean, again, and it fits within the statute of limitations. I don't know how they don't get a charge. Someone else was asking, is this just a distraction for them not having anything on Epstein? or providing anything on Epstein. I mean, I look at those guys as potentially the reasons why we're not seeing anything right now. So maybe if they are held accountable and have to do something about, maybe after that we will see something. We'll talk more about this coming up.
Starting point is 01:00:53 We've got Florida Man on the way as we roll towards the conclusion of the second hour. Our partners that help make it happen.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. A Florida man clings on the back of a UPS, a moving UPS truck. this after shoplifting, attempting to shoplift at lows,
Starting point is 01:02:38 according to Fligert County deputies. They say a man was shoplifting out of Lowe's in Palm Coast. He tried to steal $1,500 worth of merchandise. And he just sat on the back of the truck and just held on to the handle that opens the back door. Just sat there, like, hit with his legs out, sitting up riding on the back of the truck. And he was trying to get away. And then, of course, people, citizens were calling them. After he left Lowe's, police responded to Lowe's.
Starting point is 01:03:06 and they got a call that people saw this guy on the back of a UPS truck on Palm Coast Parkway. And then the UPS driver had to stop the truck and he told the guy get off. And apparently he did. But he tried to steal $1,500 worth of merchandise. He abandoned the items apparently in the parking lot before law enforcement arrived. So he could say, I don't have anything. What are you talking about? By the way, how are you expecting to steal a whole bunch of stuff and get away if you have no means of like actually getting away?
Starting point is 01:03:34 I mean, you can't hold your stolen items while you're sitting on the back of this truck holding on for dear life. I just, I'm just curious as to how that works. So, yeah, that didn't go down too well for him. He was promptly arrested. Let's see, this. Oh, a Florida man thought he was going to hide from deputies. And he thought he would do it by hiding out in a sewer. This according to, it's actually an Australian publication, but it's about a Florida man.
Starting point is 01:04:03 He was discovered by a drone. It's not going to go so well for you. It's called the Australian, but they said that he was discovered by a drone, and it was actually on July 4th, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. They had a report of a theft in Brandon, Florida, and then the suspect ran into a wooded area, and they found, like, this open pipe, and they saw him in Drone trying to climb down into the sewage pipe. That's so nasty.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And they were able to immediately. get him. Drones are crazy, man. That's like the future of everything. I think that's the future of apprehension. I think it's going to be like the future of law enforcement. You know how you had the little street robots that would police everybody and that one that tried to commit suicide by launching itself into a fountain? Okay, that's true. I think they'll be replaced by drones. That's how that's going to happen. They'll be replaced by drones for sure. A man fired a flare gun at a Marion County deputy. And then he took his pants off and tried to like challenge them like to a fight. I don't. That's just so why are people so gross? It's like so unnecessary. Marion County Sheriff's
Starting point is 01:05:13 Office shared video of the incident. It was like four in the morning. And the guy's name's Jacob Caldwell. They were trying to see if he was okay. A deputy was wanting to check on him. And then he shot a flare gun at the deputy. The deputy said in the radio, he just shot a flare gun at me. And then he began removing his pants and throwing money, the deputy's name is Mingus, throwing money at Deputy Mingus and refused to comply. And he had to twice use his taser on this guy. And then only then was he able to actually take him into custody. But good heavens, he just was not, I guess he thought like by removing his pants, they would be less likely to arrest him. Like, ooh, no, we're not going to, you're pantsless. Doesn't work. You know that. Doesn't work. Let's see. We've got, well, we're kind of out of time,
Starting point is 01:05:58 But we got a lot more on the way. Coming up in our third hour, we have all of the latest. As it pertains to that investigation, Comey and Brendan, we have the latest from the Texas floods. All kinds of stuff. Stick with us. Go nowhere. Our partners that will bring you the program. Keltek, the PR-57.

Tell them Dana sent you. Even talking about this, we are not. normalizing a government agency disappearing people. We are normalizing. We're talking about it like it's no big deal that they are kidnapping people and transporting them to concentration camps, both domestic and foreign. That is not. I think that's kind of insulting to. I think it's insulting
Starting point is 01:07:13 to what they're doing. It is not insulting to Jewish health. I find you insulting that you could even fix your mouth to defend this disgusting behavior. Like can you talk like a grown woman, fix your mouth? Like you mean I disagree with the statements that you were. were stating the statements that you're making. I mean, very easy to just talk like an actual intelligent person. Welcome back to the show. Dana Lash with you. I don't even know who this broad is. I don't even know who does she. Don't, please don't answer it because I don't really want to know. Yeah. So again, welcome back. Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program, the chats at Rumble. They're disappearing people. Kane, these people that are coming in the country
Starting point is 01:07:55 illegally in human trafficking and selling drugs and raping people and assaulting them, they're getting disappeared. Oh, and they're taken to concentration camps. It's worse than Hiller. It's what they're saying. It's like what they're intimating. So they think that a facility to detain people who come in the country illegally and then continue to commit more crimes that it's a concentration camp she's like a little older than me i just had to look her up how was she this dumb you know what i realized like growing up when i was younger i always thought that people who were older than me were smarter and way more responsible and had it together and you know what the biggest trick in the world is is that when you get to be that age you realize that they're faking it and that they're actually nuts
Starting point is 01:08:56 and they hide their neurosis and they're really actually insane people and it's nothing changes from the time you're an infant to the adults, except people know how to go the bathroom by themselves. That's it. Wait a minute. I think you're starting to agree with me on not all old people are innocent. No, I'm like not all people are innocent regardless of age. I don't hate old people specifically like you do. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:09:17 People give old people a pass because they're old. I'm just saying not all old people are innocent. That's all I'm saying. I think you and I are lined on this. Would you stop? So mean. That's not fair. She worked in, like,
Starting point is 01:09:34 like journalism. That's all I know. I just don't. Oh, and she had a show that was canceled. That it lasted for like a second. Oh, and then she one time said that Florida looks like the male copulatory organ of the country. I couldn't.
Starting point is 01:09:54 I was going to say something so mean. And I caught myself. Oh, man. And it was really good. I just. I need positive affirmation because I almost went there. I'm like that guy. When they go low, we go lower. I'm like, I almost went lower.
Starting point is 01:10:11 I really want to share it, though. You know what I was going to say? Okay, I'll tell you on break. It's taking everything. That's why I always say if you don't have anything nice to say, you're going to sit by me. We'll be not nice together. They're not kidnapping people. These people violated the law and they are getting in trouble. It's like if somebody bust up in your house, if they break into this broad's house,
Starting point is 01:10:35 and they're stealing her stuff. Is she going to, is she going to, like, get upset if they're detained and taken to jail? They were disappeared and taken to a concentration camp. Like, stop using these phrases to describe things that are not even remotely comparable. Just stop. Yes. I think the left is so used to being able to manipulate people with their emotions because the left are so weak as it relates to their emotions that they're easily led around by them. And so they're just, the left has been used to motivating the left.
Starting point is 01:11:05 over-emotional things. So they always will exaggerate and they'll always tug at the heartstrings whether it's true or not to get that motivation. Exactly. But you know what? The downside is that
Starting point is 01:11:13 is that they make you care about nothing because they want to be over-emotional about everything. So the only things that I care about are kids and sad animals and that's it. Like I don't care about anything else. They've just made it impossible. They're taking it.
Starting point is 01:11:27 They're all upset over alligator alcatraz. Do you know a great way to not get into alligator alcatraz? What? it's to not do anything to get in there it's to not come in illegally and then also after coming in illegally continuing to commit crimes super easy to not like how do you not go to jail you don't break the law yes you can it's super shocking who super shocking uh I mean I don't know once you're in alligator alcatraz you have two choices you do your time or your alligator food yeah and then an alligator
Starting point is 01:12:09 Gators need to eat, yo. They've got to eat. You have a choice. It's hungry, hungry, hungry gators. It's like that hungry, hungry hippos game, but with gators. It's so like that. But these people have been upset. The people coming in the country illegally, they've been upset because they say that it's,
Starting point is 01:12:25 they didn't have like enough water for the bath. And they expected like a Ritz Carlton. You can't blame them, though. No, hold up. Well, hold up. You can't blame them. Because when they were in New York, they had some bougie digs up in New York. And when they were.
Starting point is 01:12:39 trying to move them from like the five-star hotels that they were staying out of New York, people were mad. That's unfair. We are an American citizen. Did you ever get an invite to go and stay at one of these bougie hotels in New York? No, you'd have to pay for it. You would have to pay. But these people get free rides and they're mad. So they were expecting that. They were expecting the New York treatment. They were expecting, you know, the rits and the breakers. And they were expecting all this like super nice fancy you know like heritage like put them somewhere nice in miami beach that they were expecting not alligator alcatraz where they can get gobbled up by a gator if they accidentally put a to near a pond damn they didn't expect that
Starting point is 01:13:23 i mean have you seen some of the places they were putting people up in new york oh my gosh oh my gosh like really nice hotels uh and a lot of the new york residents were really upset because a lot of these nice hotels are in nice areas and you know because they just like kind of mix it up and uh they did not like walking past some of the stuff that they were seeing with their kids there was like increased drug use drug sales uh prostitutes i mean crazy stuff and they did not want to have to deal with all that stuff they were turning it like san francisco you know after rudy went in there and cleaned everything up all these years now they're doing all this so it's pretty wild uh but that's uh they they actually thought it was going to i guess kind of be like the ritz carlton
Starting point is 01:14:04 or what are some of the other fancy hotels, I guess. They were staying at one. What's the one that they were staying at New York that was super fancy? It was like a five-star hotel. Steve said the Waldorf Astoria? They weren't staying at
Starting point is 01:14:20 the Waldorf. Or they weren't? No way. Oh, there's no way. What? They were standing at the Roosevelt. They're Santa Roosevelt. Oh, real? Yeah. That's a nice hotel. They were staying at a couple of other ones that are pretty nice.
Starting point is 01:14:34 and they were spending, you know, quite a lot per room on this stuff, like $5 billion, just like in part of one year. That's how much they were spending on this. So I don't know. It was a couple of other things. Biden Harris. Did you guys see? I don't want to play it because I don't, I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really like watching a lot of other podcasts or listening to a lot of it. Because when you do it every single day, you just don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 01:14:59 You know, when I'm not doing it, I'm reading about just because I like reading the content. I'm reading about stuff that we can all talk about the next day. But I saw that there was this dude who he's a big old lefty and he runs that he does this podcast where they do stuff on the subway. Like they apparently did a pedicure on the subway, which I can't even imagine how you make the subway more gross, but then you add feet to it and just the congratulations. So Kamala Harris did this interview with him like right at the height of the campaign, right? after she had stepped in for Biden.
Starting point is 01:15:35 And this guy didn't air it because he said it was so bad. He was talking, he's like a Muslim and she was saying bacon was a spice. And he was just like, well, I don't know about that, et cetera, whatever. But she just kept talking about bacon as a spice and cooking and it was just weird. And then she started talking about anchovies. And he said it was just really awkward and it looked bad on her. So he didn't air it. I had two things. First off, isn't that like that's a betrayal of an unspoken contract that you have
Starting point is 01:16:09 with your audience, whether you're in live broadcasting, whether you do a podcast, whatever it is, when you start acting as a campaign surrogate and you're not disclosing it and you're doing these things to protect the candidate to this extent, I don't know how anyone can ever sit down and listen to your programming, your content with an open mind again, because you sort of betrayed this trust, right? You, you obliterated the K-Fabe, for the lack of a better way to put it. Like, you are withholding. You're being dishonest. The second thing I thought of is, I have never seen anybody in my life struggle as much as this woman struggles with merely being relatable.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Being relatable. Now think about it. I hate small talk. Some of you out there hate small talk because it's awkward and we get awkward. Like I am the most awkward person you will meet if it's just a small group and you're going to be like, how does she do her job? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:19 It's the thing. Kaine can attest to this. I have no filter and I get awkward and I'll say something insane and walk away. Like not on purpose. It just does. And this that's different from not being relatable like she just gets nervous and he didn't air this and she was like yeah well bacon's the spice yeah think about all the flavor every single time you've ever heard her do an interview where they just try to relax it like we're not going to talk about policy let's just you know talk about what you like or the music that you listen to or whatever
Starting point is 01:17:51 she just gets so awkward it's like watching a bot malfunction right it's like rock turning and into Mecca Hitler, you know, like it just freaks out. It can't keep it up anymore. She just freaks out in like short circuits. I mean, yeah, she talked about bathtub collared greens for crying out loud. She has no capability of being relatable to people, none at all. And like when she went, when she was in France, for example, when she was in France and this was when she was VP, this is before the campaign drama, but it was at the end of Biden's term. And she went into this famous cookery store. right where Julia Child used to buy her copper pans and have her stuff retinned and she comes out she made a purchase and they were asking her well what did you get and she was so awkward like
Starting point is 01:18:39 she had no idea how to just like simply answer a question how is she going to answer a question she is just unrelatable and that's what this shows and I just for people to hide that and for this guy to go, yeah, I deleted it because it was so bizarre. You're just not a trustworthy personality. That is incredibly weak. See, people on the right would be like, well, sucks for this guy, but and erred anyway, right? Just kind of how it is. I mean, there are people I talk to, you know, people that are in office that some I prefer over others.
Starting point is 01:19:22 But everybody, it doesn't matter, you know, if you've done something stupid or if there's something with which I agree, I'm going to ask about it. I'm just not going to be a very cruel hostess for the purpose of like clicks and just be a jack wagon to people. But I'm not going to hide anything either. It's just weird. And then you brag about, you then after the fact to get clicks, you say that you didn't air it. Right? Isn't that weird? Yeah. We have a lot more on the way. Biden's doctor pled the fifth. Not kidding. So we got a lot to a lot to discuss as we move forward towards headlines. Our partners that help bring you the program. All family pharmacy. Great website.

Starting point is 01:21:04 So, let's see. Case against a judge that's been accused of, remember the lady who's accused of hiding an illegal immigrant, like literally helping him escape out of the courtroom. Magistrate says that can proceed. The Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, she was arrested in April charged with obstructing an immigration arrest operation, so that's going to continue forward.
Starting point is 01:21:27 that case. Construction begins on a floating river cleaning swimming pool for New York City. It's called the plus pool. It's at 9,000 square feet and it's going to be accessible from a walkway by Pier 35 on the East River.
Starting point is 01:21:45 And construction has begun on it. And I don't... No, would you want to swim there? I don't know. It's going to be full scale. It's going to be huge. But it's going to... People will immerse themselves and water, oh,
Starting point is 01:21:58 directly from the East River and clean via a patented non-chemical filtration system. This is when I would want every chemical. I want all of them.

Starting point is 01:22:16 a million gallons of water a day. It's just going to be right out in the middle of the river. Is that actually going to be enough to clean anything?
Starting point is 01:22:24 I mean, have you seen like the... Yeah, people need to stop throwing stuff in the river first. Like dead bodies and stuff like that. You know, like find other places.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Let's see here. We had the Nebraska thing earlier. Let me go back to this one. So we've got this heroic bloodhound. Oh my gosh. I can't read the story. I didn't want to click it. It's a police bloodhound who was killed by food laced with nails,
Starting point is 01:22:54 sparking outrage in Italy. I can't even click. I accidentally saw this last night. I was like, no. And I cannot click the link. I think that whoever did it, I hope they put them to death with a firing squad in the middle of, oh, I don't know. Like find a nice palazzo that you can do it on. We got a lot more on the way.

Starting point is 01:24:13 easy to digest episodes. Ideal for your busy lifestyle on Apple or wherever you get your podcast. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, I've been trying to get them on the show. Now I don't want them. Accurate weather forecasting helps avoid fatal disasters. That's what you say. There are consequences to attacking meteorologists. You really believe that that's what this was about?
Starting point is 01:24:37 You really think that's what your constituents want for you to take a cheap shot at dead kids to score points against Trump? Wow. And guess what? the union for the National Weather Service, and they've been critical of Trump's cuts, and I'm not saying there's not reason for criticism, but it's about perspective. The union says there was adequate staff
Starting point is 01:25:03 at the time in Texas, and meteorologists are not faulting the National Weather Service. Yeah, we told you guys. They're noting that they began to escalate. I mean, when you have somebody like him blasting Chris Murphy, who, you know, sitting senator, a lawmaker, Democrat, who is trying to politicize this and act like it has to do.
Starting point is 01:25:20 with these cuts when it doesn't. That's pretty bad. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Ash with you. We're at the bottom of this third hour. The chief is pretty, this story is insane. This, and I'm looking at a number of different pieces on this. Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker, he apparently ignored multiple state requests before the flood to deploy those, that, the best way I can put it as like a tactical swimming unit, right? Like they are trained for insane water rescue and they have like a whole thing. And even the union, the, are this Austin Firefighters Association, they're going to vote no confidence on him. I can barely keep a civil tongue in my head when I think of what should happen to this guy because of his dereliction of duty. D.E.I kills people.
Starting point is 01:26:19 There's a lot. And yes, I do think it has something to, not in every instance, but when you rush to hastily hire someone that checks boxes that have nothing to do with service, that's a problem. That's a very big problem. I mean, it was, Austin had problems. And when Kirk County, Texas was dealing with the floodwaters, they had rescue boats that they could have put out, I mean, it was scarce time, was short, and they had that swift water special operations team. some of the best trained people in the nation.
Starting point is 01:26:57 And fire chief Joel Baker said no. No. Didn't want to do it. Austin was dealing with a fire department that had scandal. They were under state, local, and federal investigation for violations of the Civil Rights Act. They had racial and sexual discrimination cases and sexual harassment cases that they were looking at. and there was a lot of criticism and they needed to do something. So they decided to make an identity hire.
Starting point is 01:27:30 And this Joel Baker seemed like the guy to do it. So he was hired in December of 2018. And they had a program like Pass the Torch. I don't know if you guys heard of this. And this Austin Fire Department, it was, well, the way that they say it, it provides participants with a way to learn about. the fire service in a medical bubble blah, blah, blah, in a safe control learning environment, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:28:00 The description of it is that it was a program. They were using it to really prioritize hiring people that had identity politic boxes to check, lack of a better way to put it. So they wanted to focus on diversity over competency. And I don't know, I think that's so racist. it's racist because your immediate argument by following any kind of ideology like that, your argument is that you have to have, you have to force diversity over competency because you don't think that competency itself can be diverse. That is the people that push this, they don't even realize the rot of racism in their souls. When you push that, that's what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:28:54 When you promote things like diversity over competency, you're stating that you don't believe that competency can be diverse. So you have to do this instead. Problems with the people who promote this. So they wanted to deliberately prioritize all of the identity politic boxes. And so you ended up getting a less competent fire department. You know, you have to make decisions quickly under pressure. You have to have strength. You have to have stamina, endurance.
Starting point is 01:29:22 I mean, that's things that are required. The requirements of these things have never changed, but the standards for them have. And so they changed the, they moved the goalposts. He launched investigations, this chief launched investigations because he wanted to know, why is it that you have, this Joel Baker guy, why is it that you have, you have, you have different minorities that are not performing at this expectation or this level. Why do we have people not meeting these existing standards? So let's change the standards.
Starting point is 01:30:04 That's what his answer was. The tests are too hard, so let's make them easier. They lowered the IQ bar. They softened a lot of the physical requirements because they wanted to make sure that they could, everything could be filled out in a in a good fashion for DEI requirements. The swift water rescue units that he refused to deploy are like the last bit of meritocracy within the Austin Fire Department. Because you have to be able to perform these skills in order to be on this team.
Starting point is 01:30:40 And they are a team that they've saved over the last several years hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of lives. Joel Baker was not involved in the creation of these teams. He was not involved in the selection of these teams. He was not involved in the building of these teams. He did not promote or acknowledge these teams. And because he has a very strict siloed DEI vision, obsession, they're just not getting, they're just not going to,
Starting point is 01:31:16 not going to pay attention to them, not going to acknowledge them. You had the state that requested the pre-deployment on July 2nd and 3rd of these Swiftwater teams. And this was long before, I don't know, like, when did Floodwater's Peak? Like the other day, I think, finally. Joel Baker is accused of hesitating at sending any of these out because I don't think he understood what was happening. the state reimburses these deployments and Baker knew this and so Baker lie I mean I don't know how this isn't a lie he comes out there and says well I can't you know deploy because they're funding or whatever but the state reimburses them and so instead of deploying them he only sent like three swimmers at first according to local reports this is from Fox 7 he is accused of denying deployment of firefighters to help and there's doing that no confidence
Starting point is 01:32:14 he apparently only sent like three, only three of them at first, and then started sending more, but it was only after, you know, they saw how bad it was. It was delay, delay, delay. He sent eight the next day, six after that instead of the full teams. The men who were needed when tragedy struck were sidelined, and you can't tell me they weren't sidelined because of DEI. There was a story, a report on this. It said in 2021, local media reported that 75% of cadet interest cards came from diversity targets. That makes every human contribution just a quota to be filled. They had traditional candidate pool shrink. And under Joel Baker, the recruitment was heavily biased to certain demos, to the exclusion of other demos.
Starting point is 01:33:20 And apparently qualified white male applicants were openly discouraged. And identity service began to be prioritized over actual service records. And your ethnicity was the
Starting point is 01:33:34 that was the factor over any skill, apparently. I'm not the person saying this. This is all the firefighters in the area that are saying this. This is local media that is reporting this. this is one example in so many across the nation of the dangers of DEI I want you to listen I think we have this audio this is the head of the firemen's associate the Austin firefighters
Starting point is 01:34:04 they posted this to Facebook and they also had a video this is the head of this organization speaking on this listen I just don't even have words Our firefighters are trained for that area. Our firefighters have the equipment. They have the desire. They have the will. They have the power to go up.
Starting point is 01:34:26 And actually, I know some of those girls could have been survived if we had the best boat crew the day before on scene. I know it. I know it in my heart. I know as a battalion chief. I know it as a former Swipwater tech myself. And the fact that we didn't do it and we let them down is just, it's unconscionable.
Starting point is 01:34:48 They had a plan in place. There's a story. This is Associated Press. The camp complied, Camp Mystic, with a laundry list of regulations and procedures to be implemented in case of a disaster. They followed every single plan. Everyone. And Texas inspectors, two days, two days before flooding were at Camp Mystic. And they were evaluating their rescue plan and disaster response.
Starting point is 01:35:19 and they approved them. They had met every need. They had years of inspection records where it was, they fulfilled every obligation. And this is where I'm telling you, you can't predict everything all the time. Like no one could have predicted
Starting point is 01:35:37 that that storm system was going to stall out the way that it did over that area. 26 feet in under 45 minutes is insane. In the middle of the night, in a rural area, you can't see well, you don't really have any idea. And these warnings had been sent out ahead of time.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Now granted, there's definitely some questions to ask. But the politicizing of this, the way the left has done, has already resulted in so many lives lost. I think Joel Baker should be charged and I think he should be brought to court. And if he is convicted, I don't think anything less than a public execution. is fit for this human. DEI is killing people. It is the most
Starting point is 01:36:35 moral, morally depraved ideology that I can think of where you are absolutely making idols of things like skin color and sexual orientation literally over the lives of people, of children, instead of merit. And these people in these positions, instead of asking, well, why are we struggling with recruitment from this demo?
Starting point is 01:37:10 Or why is this demographic struggling to meet this threshold? Instead of helping to elevate and make sure these demographics, these demos, these subgroups can meet these standards of measure. in these specific areas, lowering the standards or excluding the people who can do it, regardless of everything else, just to accommodate that, is done at the expense of lives, especially when you're literally in the business of saving lives. And I think the loss of life here and the destruction is so great, there cannot be anything less than an absolute national reckoning as a response to this, not as a means of vengeance, but as a means of setting such a strong
Starting point is 01:38:04 example that it serves as a deterrence for generations. It needs to be that strong. It needs to be that strong. God help Joel Baker if he's convicted, because he's going to need all God's help he can get. We got a lot more on the way. podcast because who says you can't make fun of people while staying informed on your own personal time subscribe on youtube apple or wherever you get your podcast how do we feel about poe is saying we're going to send more weapons to ukraine how are we feeling about that hmm i don't know i mean it's better i guess than boots on the ground i mean i don't know why we got to keep sending anything but are they buying them from us at least i think this is a posturing that
Starting point is 01:38:58 Is a response to Putin not exactly holding communication with Trump on this particular issue? So Trump's like, oh, okay, so you're going to just do your own thing. I guess we're just going to help Ukraine. And then if you get tired of that of losing, then maybe you'll come to the table. I don't know. It seems like that's kind of a trend for his strategy. But I don't know. Well, it remains to be seen.
Starting point is 01:39:24 You also sent me a guy who's, I don't know who this guy is who kicked the bucket that does not count as one of the three, Kane. We don't know this guy. I thought you were Tulsa King fan. Yeah, but I don't know this guy. I don't know this guy. He's the writer and producer. So you had Julie McMahon, who was the second?
Starting point is 01:39:39 Julie McMahon. So we're missing a third. I think so. Because Granny always says that death's happen in threes, right? So Kane's sending me this like totally random dude that we don't know. And I'm like, that doesn't count. Like none of your people are safe, man, because this guy does not count. Everybody's still back in the Deadpool.
Starting point is 01:39:55 I'd argue if he was some random unknown dude, though. I just don't. I don't want to sound mean, but to us, that's what it is. Okay, today is stupidity. We do not have time to play the audio, but apparently Gavin Newsom says Trump wants to put America in reverse and bring us back to pre-1960s. If only we could get back to government spending levels of pre-1960, I'd actually enjoy that. So if that's what Trump wants to do, okay. Yeah, folks, that does it for us today.
Starting point is 01:40:20 I'll be on Fox Tonight, Waters program and Fox Business. So make sure you tune in. Have a great night.
