Welcome to the program. The new, I don't know if you guys saw it, the new Rolling Stone cover that went out today. And guess who's on the cover? It's Hassan Piker. They have a big problem with celebrating these Napa Baby terrorists, or just terrorists, period. Which I think that Hassan Piker actually legitimately is. I think it's safe to say at this point, he's, you say that America

deserve 9-11, etc. But he's on the cover of Rolling Stone. Let me set this up for you though. Let me remind people what Rolling Stone has turned into. And the, I mean, gosh, you guys, this has been a long,

how long have they been circling the drain? I don't know. Go back, though, for a moment, if you would, to 2014. And I think this is even before the Boston Bombers, the Joker brothers, I think it's even before, because they were in 2013, this story, oh, no, the Boston bombers were first. So first, they put

one of the Boston bombers on the cover of their magazine. And these were the guys who had made the homemade pressure cooker bombs, and they hit them in backpacks, and they blew up the Boston Marathon. So you had that. And then, in 2014, this is how bad it's gotten. In 2014, Rolling Stone had this article that they ran from this lady called Sabrina Erdley.

Now, this is, this all dovetails into it. Some of you may remember this story. It's a little bit ago. This is back in 2014. So this woman named Sabrina Erdley does this story. And she says that this, this fret that's there on the campus of UVA, that they were involved in a gang rape. And it's centered around this student. that went by the name of Jackie, right?

And Rolling Stone, again, they published this story, said that Jackie had suffered a brutal gang rape at the hands of the members of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in 2012, right? This was a huge story, right on the cover. But there was something that was off about it. And the truth started unraveling, the more people looked into the story. So this 2014 story, it centered on a UVA student,

and her story, this student who went by the name of Jackie, sounded super weird out of the gate. So police got involved, independent investigators got involved. And what they found, in fact, was that there was no evidence of anything this chick was saying, this, you know, so-called Jackie. There was nothing, there was, there was, Nothing that she said that was panning out, nothing that she said that was gaining any kind of traction in truth.

Her stories were contradicted. Even her roommates and her own circle of friends were raising questions. And the article was accusing not just the fraternity, but the associate dean of the school of ignoring Jackie's pleas for help. Well, then, the crazy thing, they had a returacy. the whole story. It was called a rape on campus. This huge story. It got a full two-page in the middle. You know, the full two-page spread as the beginning of the article? Huge article. I mean that you had politicians remarking about this. It ended up being a huge thing. But then Charlottesville police told UVA that an investigation didn't find any evidence

confirming a single event in the article. Not a single event. And it started getting sketchy for the reporter. UVA president suspended all fraternities. I mean, these frat brothers, these students had their lives ruined. And you know what the truth of the story was? This chick who liked one of the fraternity members and was trying to make him jealous because he had no romantic interest in her entirely fabricated this story. Falsely not only accused him, but accused the entire fraternity,

accused UVA and wow now the reporter Sabrina Erdley did is I think this woman ought to be ruined

for life I hope that they dragged her in court and took everything she had including her birth certificate if she had one they actually had the Columbia University Graduate School of

Journalism they stepped in and they audited the editorial process because Rolling Stone apparently couldn't be prevailed upon to do it themselves and they discovered that not only was there not a single shred of credible evidence, but there was no checks in balance and there was no oversight.

She literally pulled this story out of her backside, submitted it, and Rolling Stone ran it without question. That's not even an actual exaggeration. So the lawsuit started flying. And we were joking at the time that Phi Kappa Sai was going to own Rolling Stone. So not only did UVA, but the fraternity itself, than individual members. They all file lawsuits against Sabrina Erdley, against Rolling Stone, and the millions and millions of dollars of settlement started rolling in. Because these students

had their lives ruined. Everyone who was associated with that fraternity was immediately under a cloud of suspicion. There were grads that were in that fraternity that were terrified that they were never going to be able to get a job because it was going to be known that they were at this fraternity. And Sabrina Erdley had falsely smeared them. Rune them. their lives. I mean, guys, the stuff that they printed, literally, like they wrote about how someone heavy jumped on top of Jackie and someone got between her legs and someone knelt on her hair. And they were detailed, like not appropriate for air detailed.

It read like some gal Sharpton, Mommy Sleuth, Dominatrix fantasy story. And Jackie's so-called friends told police, they were to be. suspicious of her. She seemed a little possessive, a little jealous, completely not like nuts, nuts, nuts, like completely selfish and self-involved, manipulative, and just straight up evil. Sounded like they weren't her friends at all. So it was wild the repercussions that slapped back on not just Sabrina Early, but Rolling Stone. And Rolling Stone ran it without so much as fact-checking a single damn thing. If you do that at work, if you run something that you haven't verified, there are repercussions.

The repercussions of this should be on an insane scale, considering the lives that were wrecked from it. So then, Jackie at the center of the story had to admit that it was all made up. It was all made up to just make this one student jealous. And then it got out of hand. I mean, this is, she, and she even made up this, like, um, avatar of one of the students at UVA and said that he was giving all the instructions to all of the rapists. Oh, she was saying that there was like a handful of people that did it.

Just insane. Rolling Stone had to apologize. Sabrina Eardley had to apologize. There were settlements, all kinds of stuff. I mean, this was, so the, the Rehn's. reason I say all of this is because are you surprised now that they put Hassan Piker on the cover of this magazine? Are you surprised that they have him on the cover of this magazine? I mean, I'm not. They called him one of the most influential content creators of the year. When Rolling Stone tweeted

it out, they gave him a metal emoji. I can't make this up. On the cover. But I thought he was a streamer. I mean, that's what Debbie Dingell says. That's what Abdel Al-Said says. That's what Bernie Sanders says. But hell, here he is on the cover of Rolling Stone as one of the most influential creators of the year. So which is it? Our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends over at Alliance Defending Freedom. This is a great organization that is there in every single fight, every fight that is to be had, you're going to find them. And with Alliance Defending Freedom, They were there, the baker that was in, for instance, one of the more famous, they've got a lot of famous cases, but they helped the baker that was in Colorado because he got targeted by the alphabet mafia and they were going to bankrupt this guy. They were trying to lawfare him to where he was not going to be able to bake and provide for his family.

They've gone after florists, everybody. And what Alliance Defending Freedom does is they're there in every single fight. They're there in the courtroom. They're there in the state capital. They're there helping with legislature make decisions. and they're right at the forefront. They had a huge, huge landmark free speech victory at the Supreme Court on behalf of a Christian counselor. But here's the thing.

These rights, these freedoms that are so, it's so important to protect them for the next generation, ADF can't do this alone. They really rely on the generosity of people like you to continue funding these battles. I mean, these people got to travel. They have to research. This is their job. And if they didn't make money at their job, then they'd be homeless. It wouldn't be able to pay their bills.

And you would have nobody fighting this stuff in the courtroom. So they rely on the generosity of people like you to help. fund these to help fight these battles and fund them really in courtroom state legislatures every time your freedoms are under attack right now your gift can be doubled as double the impact because there's a matching fund uh but only while matching funds last so for limited time every dollar you give is doubled 25 is 50 50 is 100 but that only lasts while matching funds are available if you think your freedom's worth defending now's the time to act visit join adf.com slash dano or text dana 83848 and have your gift to lines defending freedom doubled.

As join ADF.com slash Dana, text Dana to 83848. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, first up, first and foremost, this is a weird headline. I've got a couple of these today. So this FedEx driver, not a weird headline, this is a justifiable headline. I didn't cover this case a lot because it was difficult. Those cases that involve the little kids, I can't handle it.

That's one thing I can't handle. You guys know that FedEx driver whose name I'm not going to state who murdered seven-year-old Athena Strand was sentenced to death. He's going right to death. Now, Texas law states that there has to be a review of death sentences by the Texas Court of Appeals. So they're like, well, his sentence doesn't bypass the appeals process. But I'm telling you what? That's not going to happen. This guy is gone.

And it's, and it's, it's justified. I mean, he's literally one of the reasons why the death penalty was created. Horrific story. So apparently now they're saying goodbye, Ozympic, and hello to this obscure pill that burns fat without muscle loss or weight rebound from the GLP ones. They're finding all kinds of stuff about this. Honestly, I'm going to be real. If we get rid of the obesity epidemic and we lower people's cholesterol and, and people are healthier as a result of this stuff, I honestly don't care because it seems like

it's more proactive. I read a study last night that one of my girlfriends sent me that said that they are eliminating, like it's targeting addictions, drug addictions, alcohol addictions, things like that. I mean, obviously, there's concern about people with eating disorders, clearly. But isn't that why it's like all under doctor review? I mean, you've got to go to a doctor to get this stuff, right? I mean, it's all under. So I don't think that they're going to be giving this stuff to somebody that's dealing with,

like body dysmorphia issues like bulimia or anorexia. But still, but they're discovering all kinds of stuff with this. Several people arrested and accused of ransacking at California Cemetery. Who does this kind of stuff? It is San Francisco. That's how bad it is. They're not content with just leaving needles and feces on the sidewalks. Five people have been arrested on suspicion of stealing thousands of dollars worth of funeral vases from a cemetery.

Bronze vase thefts. And they said that the family. of the deceased, they, you know, bring them. They fill them of flowers. They leave them on the headstones. They're like one of the ones that stay permanently on the headstones. And so now, that's getting stolen. There's just no bottom. There's no bottom. Scholars are saying that they might have found the actual tomb of Christ after 2,000 years and it matches the biblical telling. This is interesting. Something like this comes up every few years. They're saying after years of searching Italian archaeologists discovered this ancient site where the description of where

Christ was buried per a preliminary study in the Jerusalem Archaeological Journal of Libera and Annas. And they said they found evidence of a funerary landscape. There was a, there's a bunch of other additional things that they discovered that further confirmed in their minds, their view. They've been doing the final phases of excavations all last year, doing a floor restoration and apparently they were describing things that the way that it was apparently biblically. So interesting to see this stuff come up. And CNN used to pick of a Dolly Parton Vegas impersonator during a tribute, sparking backlash and eliciting the network's apology to the icon's family for the blunder. Maybe they also used AI to write the story too. Who knows? Probably

did this day and age. Have you ever noticed that most laundry detergent smells like something you'd use to scrub a toilet? I mean, no thanks. Nobody wants that. This is why I love and personally use laundry sauce because it doesn't just get your clothes clean. It makes them smell absolutely incredible for days. Like I'm smelling myself right now. It's so good. I want the smell of summer. You want the smell of summer.

So you have to try their new limited edition Brazilian vanilla. So think of whipped vanilla and caramel and coconut and just enough warm woods to make it feel like summer in a bottle. So if you want something a little richer, Australian sandalwood, it's warm and earthy. just one of those scents that lasts. And if you have sensitive skin, they have Himalayan cashmere. It's hypoallergenic. It's soft. It's clean. It's seriously comforting. It's not just about fragrance either. Laundry sauce uses powerful bioenzymes to go after stains from barbecues, mud, coffee, anything, all this stuff that happens when you're, you know, living life. And they even have scent boosters, fabric conditioner, dryer sheets, fabric freshener, everything to take

your laundry up a notch. So for a limited time, you can get 20% off of your income. entire order when you use promo codeana at laundry sauce.com. That's laundry sauce.com promo codeana for 20% off. And even more importantly, what space is done for our military in terms of offensive and defensive capability is incredible. Don't forget, I was the one that gave you Space Force. And we had no Space Force. And when people heard about it, they thought we were kidding. If they thought it was like comic book stuff, it wasn't at all. It's turning out to be one of our most important. So POTUS is speaking right now at the Johnson Space Center, and I'm of a mind that unless he's talking about blowing up the moon, then, you know, we'll go back to it. But I told Kane, I said,

Potus has a lot of, he's got a lot of charisma. Where's that at right now? And it feels like, I know he's giving a serious speech, but it kind of feels like he was told, dude, you're going to stick to this prompter or else, and he's mad about it. So that's, I kind of get that vibe from him right now. Welcome back to the show, Dana Lash. So he was right what he was talking about how under the Obama administration, they pretty much nixed the ability to get our astronauts up to the International Space Station, if you remember when he cut that. And then at the time, all the libertarians were going, yeah, because it should all be

privately funded. And I'm like, maybe not the part that actually pertains to national security. Because we do have to look at it as though, I mean, it's, it's. space. It's like international waters. We have to have some kind of presence there. That's just the nature of things. So, otherwise, I agree. But he, I mean, remember we had, did we have to hop a ride on, what was it called, the Soyoo or whatever, the Russian little thing? Yeah, I think we did at one point. Can you imagine having to hitch a ride with your geopolitical foes to the international space station? So I'm glad that that's been changed. I'm glad that that's, that's happened. You know,

this also brings to mind the fight that we've been having. Let me pull this story up. I have this bookmark and I labeled it incorrectly. So apologies. But we had this. I know you've seen the stories and it dovetails into this about the munitions. Like, do we have enough rockets, et cetera, et cetera. And there's been a lot of discussion about this. And whether or not the United States is going to fall behind. because we've used so much with Iran. That's what the left says. That's what the left and the woke rike say. But we've been talking about this for a number of years now,

this drawdown in our supply of rockets, our supply of missiles, et cetera. We need to have more munitions. We should actually be increasing the domestic manufacturing of this. I don't know if people realize that a lot of it's dangerous work to make ammunition. It's dangerous work to make munitions. It's very dangerous stuff. That's why so much of it is outsourced to overseas. But this is something we've been discussing for quite some time. This was a topic of discussion during the Biden administration. Remember when we were giving weaponry to Ukraine and some people were bringing up the issue of munitions and there was a story that came out. It was some sort of Pentagon source that was saying that, yes, you know, our supplies, our stockpile is low.

This has been an issue under Biden. And look, I'm not, I don't, honestly, I don't think, I'm going to say something probably controversial, I don't think that necessarily this is a Trump issue or even a Biden issue. I think it's a both things issue. And I'm not doing a what about is in both sides because it is the both of their faults. Here's the problem. We have Democrats. You saw this most epically under Barack Obama that we're trying to limit one of the very things that our government was structured to do, which was national security, right? You got one job, America, one job, national security. the enumerated powers, Article 1, Section 8, National Defense, that is our government's responsibility. And rendering that, rendering our government incapable of carrying out that responsibility because you're spending all of our tax dollars, which is also unconstitutional, on entitlements and illegal aliens and everything else, that's a major issue. That contributes to it. Then you have these people within the right that, I get it. Nobody wants forever wars. No one is making that stupid, asinine statement. No one's going out there

and huffing it to, oh yeah, I would love her forever war. Nobody's doing that. But the idea that wanting to be the biggest player on the globe as a form of security, which is something that Washington wrote about, I will have you know. George Washington himself talked about this. there's a big difference between that and then getting involved in forever wars. Do we understand this? I mean, hopefully that makes sense to some folks because we do have a contingent on the right that doesn't agree with any of this at all. That's a big issue.

I mean, that's our government's main job. So you have people that are even on the right that have been wanting us to hold everything down, too, they've been wanting us to slow the role. Well, let's not spend this. Let's not, oh, you know, you're a neocon if you want to increase the number of, that's why I always pointed out that people use that word so incorrectly. You're not a neocon simply for wanting to maintain the status quo of the United States being the superpower on Earth because, thank heavens we love liberty. That makes it better for everybody. And it's true.

But we have those people, and Kane, you know them. We have those people that believe that anything to anything of that sort is neoconservative. or that you're being a warmonger or a chicken hawk or something to that extent. Look, I'll tell you this. One of the things that Washington wrote about, and this was in his, he wrote this, it was his fifth annual message to Congress. And he wrote this, it was in Philadelphia. It was December in Philadelphia. And he wrote this to members of Congress. I wanted to read this. So, and it's, by the way, you can get it at, they have it up at Yale. I law. Yel.edu. Quote, there is ranked due to the United States among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it. If we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.

The documents, which will be presented to you, will show the amount and kinds of our rising prosperity. arms and military stores now in our magazines and arsenals, and yet in addition, even to these supplies, cannot with prudence be neglected, as it would leave nothing to the uncertainty of procuring warlike apparatus in the moment of public danger. That was Washington's fifth annual message to Congress in Philadelphia, December 3rd, 1793. So, I mean, I dare say is Washington a neocons? I mean, there are neocons. There's definitely a behavior or a belief that that described, absolutely. But what I'm saying is that all of these people, and yes, I would, I don't even know if I like isolationists. I don't even think that that's the correct term. Dumbass is the correct term. There are those people out there that believe that America should shrink within, and this is part of multipolarity, shrink within its own sphere.

And allies are left to themselves. There is nothing. We don't. have any interest outside, no exports, no imports, no nothing. There are people who really believe this. And they're trying to dictate policy within the Republican sphere. You saw some of them promoting this when they're talking about removing the dollar as the world's reserve currency. This is multipolar hilarity. And it's completely contrary to everything that our founders believed and the way that they had our government structured. So going back to this, you know, our stockpile of munitions, it is our government's responsibility

to make sure that it's not low. But we got scurdy cats on the Republican side who are terrified about being kind of new, and then we've got the people on the left, like Barack Obama, who've been gutting Department of Defense, Biden after him, but yet not to the same degree. So now it's become an issue,

an issue that both of the major parties author, the folks who won't make the program possible. I love my ghostbed. I like my ghost bed because it's the most, absolutely the most comfortable mattress that has, I think, ever been made. It's just such a good mattress. You know it right out of the gate. Ghostbed is just made better than materials. I noticed the seeming on the mattress was fantastic.

It's also deeper than the mattress that I had. So I got this mattress a couple of years ago based on, I'm not kidding you. Guys, I'm embarrassed to say it. It's based on a four-star hotel, like the four-star hotel. A big famous one has these mattresses. And I stayed there once. And I was like, oh my gosh, I love this mattress. I need to get a new mattress.

So it was like an anniversary gift. We got this new mattress. Guys, I'm not kidding you. Y'all, two years into this, I wanted to blow this thing up because it was uncomfortable. It did not. It was not supportive. It gave way very easily. And with Ghostbed, I noticed the difference between the construction immediately.

But not only that, ghostbed, the way that they look at it like health equipment, right? So that's how they approach the construction of the mattress. Ghostbed knows that you spend an inordinate amount of your life in bed that's resting and you're supposed to be restored and recharge. So it's designed to relieve pressure, help regulate temperature and support your body made right here in the US of A. The other big thing, cooling tech is built into every mattress. It's not an expensive upgrade. Nobody else does that. You're going to notice the difference.

I do. I love this mattress. And you get 101 nights to try it in your home. And if you don't like it, you can send it back. You will. But if you don't, you can send it back. For a limited time, Ghostbed's Liberty Sale, they're offering all of you out there, my audience an extra 10% off of their lowest price of the season.

I can't believe we're already at Florida man. This is wild. Okay, so, oh man. A Florida steak and shake car hop exposed himself to a

fast food patron to one of the customers. Just say customer. You don't need to say fast food patron. Stop it. Smoking gun. A Florida restaurant worker was arrested because he showed up his frank and beans, man. He walked to a woman's vehicle while serving her with his stuff out. His Frank was out. Let's put it like that. His name, what a name. Hold up. Artavian Cremity. Crumidi? How do you say that? Cromity? I don't care. He's 25. He was working at steak and shake, and he made the off-menu delivery, as it's called. And it's on video because of the CCTV footage disgusting. He was booked into county jail in a misdemeanor. He posted a $1,000 bond, and he has to stay away from his steak and shake. Oh, by the way, go ahead and kill him because, sorry, I mean, you know, go ahead and have a trial and then find him guilty. and then capital punishment for all predators, because his rap sheet includes convictions for prowling, child abuse, oh, golly, all kinds of stuff.

He was in a legal possession of a firearm, even in spite of the prowling and the child abuse and all of this stuff. So, yeah, so yeah, you guys know I believe in capital punishment for predators. So, sure, I feel like, you know, someone like this, try them. Are you a predator? If you're guilty of being a totally gross perverted predator, you should be put to death. That's my view.

All right, moving on. I mean, because it does save money for taxpayers. I'll help. A Florida man led deputies on a manhunt through the swamp for hours. That is desperate because whose house is that? It's a gator's house, y'all. A man involved in a hit and run crash was arrested after a man hunt through miles of swamp. Okay, here's another name.

Likinson de Kias. Likinson de Kias. 39 fled the scene of a hit and run crash, running through swamp well as much as you can run through swamp water. Like some parts of it were raised deep. I'm telling you that's where gaiters are. It took him two hours, but deputies caught him. So he was charged with failure to remain at the scene of a crash,

having a mother who gave him a horrible name, leaving the, sorry, that was me, leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage, fleeing with disregard of safety and obstructing without violence. Likinson. Doesn't like none of that as we roll our partners that bring you the program. folks over at Patriot Mobile. I have used, I've used this service. I've been on my phone in some of the weirdest places in the world, like standing next to like the super old stave church in some

fjord way up in the Nordic North. And I'm like, surely I won't have any, oh, no, I do. I got connection. It's, I mean, it's a double-edged sword. I love how easy it is to stay connected wherever I am around the world. But then I'm also like, I don't think there's anywhere around the world I can go to where Patriot Mobile is not going to be able to have service. and have me connected. But they're the best.

I had to untrain myself from the things that I had learned in corporate media about thinking 85 times before I said something. I didn't have to do that. I could say whatever the I want. I can say that. And you're probably going to beep it. Maybe not. I don't think so. But I could never say that. I could never do that in corporate media. I could never do what I did today

in corporate media by saying look, I'm going to tell you, I feel... Wait, who show is this? Is it Don Lemon's Bacari Sellers? He's got his watermark on? The reason I ask that is why is Bacari sellers like scrunched down into the lower third of the screen?

You see it like his shoulders are up by his ears. He's all the way scrunched down. Why is he like that? Just sit the hell up, man. It's your damn show. He has corporate overlords. That's why. At Don Lemon's like, I don't have any corporate.

I couldn't say, because nobody watches. That's why. You can say whatever you want because it's like screaming in the ether. Nobody's watching you, dude. They don't care. Nobody cares. It's like, what's a guy? Oh, who is the guy that's,

Seinfeld, like to go, not Norman. That was his actual name. And he ended up being in Jurassic Park. And he was giving him the shaving can cream with the stuff to put the dinosaurs in. And he's like, look, nobody cares. Nobody cares. Newman. Newman.

Yeah, it's like Newman. Nobody cares. I don't know. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Today in completely obvious studies, extra pounds. actually this is this should be obvious this should be obvious extra pounds are linked to lower death risk in seniors you know why that is cushion falls absolutely so that's the only that's also by the way my anti-wrinkle plan is when I get older my grandmother always said like when you turn when you get in your 50s you have to pick between face or body and I'm like oh face all day like I'm just going to I'm going to eat bread and desserts and just get you know I'll get all fancy and say I'll get all fancy and say. but they said carrying excess fat around the belly was linked to a higher risk of death even in people

whose overall body weight appeared healthy being underweight higher risk of death amongst older older adults so yeah that's also i'm going to have cushions in case i fall which hopefully i won't because i'm working out always worked out um and uh also not have wrinkles because i'm going to be inflating so all the people who are like jane his head so i know my but that is my plant though so exactly that is my own plant. Yeah, my own, it'll be my own natural like filler, facelift, everything. I'm just going to get a little, just get a little chubby. That's all. You know, it's more to love.

I'm not even shy about it either. I tell everybody this, and I'm totally serious. All right. Marmots, these look adorable, though. Kind of want one. They're terrorizing California hikers and stealing their shoes. If only we could train them to go after cyclists. The cute but destructive rodents are criminal masterminds,

and they say they circumvent humans' meager defenses. No way to do it. There's no way to do it. Like people, they go camping, if they're hiking, these marmots will literally, Marmot, is that how you say it? I'm going to just stretch it out and Ozark the heck out of it. Marmot. But they said one guy was talking about how he went to camp and he woke up and this thing was looking at his face. And he was terrified because what if it had rabies or something?

Or you could just be, I don't know, positive and think, nature just gave me a pet because I would grab that little thing and immediately put it in a little marmot harness and that would be my pet. I'm not kidding you. See, if I sold out, I wouldn't tell anybody, but there would be signs. I might have a pack of marmots and a little harnesses everywhere, like balloons. Let's see, intense flags, intense six flags roller coaster was closed because two riders suffered brain hemorrhages.

Magic Mountains fan favorite Extreme Coaster X2 has been closed quietly after it gave two writer's head injuries. Apparently there's a history of injuries here. They said two women who wrote it, they both lost consciousness and ended up in surgery with similar brain hemorrhages that's typically associated with high-speed collisions. That's the magic, as Kane notes. Neurosurgeons who treated the women said the severe brain injuries required emergent neurosurgical attention.

I just, I like coasters, but I don't like it if they, like, jerk you all around everywhere. If it's not smooth, you know, slowest smooth, smooth is fast. If it's not smooth, then I want it. Like the mind trail, love the mind trail. But that thing jerks you around so much. I always thought my head was going to come off my neck.
