Episode Date: September 15, 2025

More details surrounding Charlie Kirk’s killer are released including the identity of his transgender boyfriend and his history of spouting Antifa talking points. Leftists over the weekend continued... to justify Charlie Kirk’s death by bringing up his “extremist” views. Dana shares why she is done with her church following Sunday’s sermon where he refused to mention Charlie Kirk and preached woke ideology. Jasmine Crockett says when sees ICE, she sees slave patrols. John Fetterman says people need to stop referring to President Trump as an autocrat when it's just not accurate. Dana pushes back against calls by Sen. James Lankford for having an open and honest dialogue after the left refused to do so. Jesse Kelly from The First TV joins us to discuss The Hollywood Reporter completely making up a quote they claimed was said by him about Charlie Kirk. Utah Gov. Cox tries to both sides the issue by saying “Charlie Kirk said some very inflammatory things”. Dana reacts to the wokest moments from the Emmy’s and TMZ’s founder claiming we are on the brink of a civil war. Stephen Yates from Heritage joins us to preview President Trump’s upcoming phone call with President Xi, a potential TikTok negotiation, South Korea and more.Thank you for supporting our sponsors that make The Dana Show possible…Boll & Branchhttps://BollandBranch.com/danashow Level up your sleep with Boll&Branch.

Starting point is 00:00:00 And over the next couple of years, our friendship blossom. He ended up being the primary architect of my unification with President Trump, which I did my endorsement at his rally at the Turning Point rally in Scottsdale. And he was the one who put the sparklers on the stage when I... When I shook that, he made a big show of it. So that was last night at the Kennedy Center where they were having one of the first of the vigils. And that, of course, as you know, was RFK Jr. who was talking about this. Welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:01:00 It's Monday. It's a new week. The horrors persist. And so must we. And we've got a number of things to bring you up to speed on. especially if you were kind of like me and you just needed to turn it off and touch grass. I tried really,
Starting point is 00:01:16 really hard over the weekend. But it's one of those things where you do. I think it's very important for you to get offline. Too many people spend too much time online and especially arguing with randos, idiots, on social media. So the latest with this, as you know, there's going to be,
Starting point is 00:01:35 they're going to have the first court appearance of the killer coming up and more information about the murderer of Charlie Kirk is now becoming public, including the killer's furry twink-tranny boyfriend. It almost sounds like a special Christmas toy, does it not? Oh, it's the Polly Pocket. It's the furry twink-trainny boyfriend. Say that a million times fast.
Starting point is 00:01:55 This is what the left was trying to gaslight you into believing, that this guy, oh, no, there's no trans element to it. The only reason also that I believe this guy whose name is Lance Twigs, the only reason I believe that he cooperated at all with police is, so he could avoid accessory charges or giving shelter the, what is it, the charge of your, you're sheltering someone that is, well, they had a national manhunt for him. He apparently is described by members of his family as super far left. One relative said, quote, I did not want him around my personal family.
Starting point is 00:02:31 He's not a healthy person. He is very angry with anyone who is supportive of conservative ideals and Christian values. this guy was apparently really, really, really far left, had very violent ideas. And it's very interesting his relationship with this killer. And of course, he was trans. He was living as a trans person pretending to be a woman. So that's a huge blow for the left who spent the better part of the weekend trying to, to convince everybody, oh, no, it's not that at all. It just isn't that at all. It's not that. He's not,
Starting point is 00:03:16 this isn't trans. This is more right wing disinformation. That's, you know, kind of, not kind of, that's exactly how they were trying to present all of this. It's exactly how they were presenting it. And it's, there's no denying it. There is absolutely no denying it. The links are enormous. this 22-year-old, I don't care if he came from a conservative family. He wasn't conservative. He was described by people who knew him as being very far left. He was devoted to Antifa. The media wants to show you photos of this guy from like 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:03:54 But then if you look at photos of him from like four years ago, then, you know, it's pretty rough. He's a big Antifa devotee. he espoused their viewpoints. And apparently they both were into furries, him and his twink boyfriend. They were both into furries. They had a furry sex life, apparently. It's disgusting. I want to vomit everywhere, but that's the news.
Starting point is 00:04:20 So it's pretty difficult to say. I mean, you're lying to people if you're saying that this doesn't have anything to do with it. And so the news that's out and what's been, confirmed and released by law enforcement seems to be along the lines of this trend came. This trend of far left trans Tifa. Far left trans Tifa. So this, you know, I don't know. I don't have any words for it because it's exactly as we were saying in the media, even up till that point, has been, have been pushing back and gaslighting everybody about it. This is, I got a couple of other, we get some audio that we want to play with you.
Starting point is 00:05:08 This is, this is the kid, this is one of the former high school classmates of the guy who killed Kirk. And even they were saying, yeah, something was off about him even back then. Listen, 13. I went to school with this Tyler Robinson kid. I'll show y'all. That's him right there. Tyler Robinson. I'm not trying to like Cloud Chase to make this shit about me.
Starting point is 00:05:33 but I'm not going to say I knew this kid really well. I didn't know him very well at all, but I definitely saw him for like three straight years in high school. And the best way I could describe him is just like a Reddit kid. I don't know. I feel like if you were in high school around that same time and even probably now, like 2018, and then like you know those kinds of kids.
Starting point is 00:05:58 But that's exactly what he was. All I'm going to say is this is the kind of shit that happens when you spend way too much time online and all of a sudden your beliefs are all the way this way or all the way this way and you do some dramatic to please these people that are not your friends. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Interesting. Very interesting. He even knew then. Isn't that how it always is, Kane? Audio sound by 14 and neighbor explaining how he knew that Kirk's killer and the furry trans twink he knew they were a couple.
Starting point is 00:06:31 This is 14. There's some published reports out there that this individual, the roommate, may have been transitioning. Did that correlate with what you saw? Yeah, definitely. So he was going to have an operation to be, to turn into a woman. Yeah, yeah, and I think he's getting ready for that. So in what way do you see that? I remember them talking about a doctor's appointment.
Starting point is 00:06:57 It was about about two weeks ago, I would say. And they were kissing? Yeah. Where did you see them kissing? Just coming out. I was riding with my bike, so I didn't see the whole thing. But, yeah, I saw them. And when did you hear them talking about adopt disappointment?
Starting point is 00:07:14 I would say about the same time that they came out. So that one time, yeah. Where were you standing for that? I was just riding by here. Okay. And you were able to hear snippets of their conversation? Yeah, yeah. But you were sure that they were a couple,
Starting point is 00:07:28 but you have only seen them together once? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the way, I mean, random guys don't get into definitely don't kiss. So, I would try to stop. Yeah, the media wanted him to be a straight, a straight dude, a straight white Christian megadood.
Starting point is 00:07:46 They desperately wanted him to be that. And he was just a white dude. That's it. That's it. So they, they, I, we're going to come back to this because these developments keep, I mean, obviously, as the investigation is ongoing, the developments that are,
Starting point is 00:08:01 released more and more. And then, of course, we have this public appearance at some point, the first court appearance of this killer. And we'll follow all of that as well. In the meantime, I didn't watch the Emmys last night. And we're going to get to some of that because apparently they didn't mention the Kirk assassination at all. And they ended up doing what Hollywood celebrities do, preening and celebrating themselves. And they go out there, including Spanish socialist, Javier Bordem, goes out there and does all the free Palestine stuff. stuff. They want to accuse, you know, they back violent rhetoric and they want to accuse everybody else of being violent when they themselves embrace violence. I just thought that was,
Starting point is 00:08:40 that was incredibly, that was so reflective of who they are. I don't have any, I don't really watch TV and I really definitely now don't plan to continue. I don't plan to do it. I don't plan to watch any television especially after, I mean, that not even, to not even think nothing. I mean, it's, it's, but they go all out about Harvey Milk, but they, they, they go all out about Harvey Milk, but they say nothing about like this actual. There were other tributes though. NASCAR, they had a driver who dedicated, he dedicated his win to Kirk.
Starting point is 00:09:13 This was NASCAR driver Christopher Bell at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. He dedicated his win to Kirk. You had Morgan Whalen who also stopped his concert to say nice words to Erica Kirk, the widow. And she also spoke out. She spoke out Friday. She gave an address, and I thought it was very, it was very emotional. And I like the fact that she didn't go out and call for unity.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Because you can't unify with people who are celebrating the murder of your husband, and nor should you be expected to. It was, she, I mean, you can tell she's in such anguish, obviously. She's in absolute anguish. But I appreciate that she didn't go out because that time has passed, and she got the tone. She got the tone. There were some people trying to criticize her for it.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Amazingly, they don't like the way that a grieving widow responds to your ideology, shooting her husband. Oh, my goodness. What did you expect to receive a bouquet? Just asinine. Absolutely assonine. You know, the other thing I noticed, too, is that Apple, because a lot of this stuff has been on blue sky. I don't have blue sky.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I don't have an account over there. I have no plans to ever create an account over there. But apparently it is an absolute cesspool of hate and fetishizing violence in the wake of Kirk's slain. Apple kicked parlor off of its platform. And no, I'm saying, can I finish my sentence? Apple kicked parlor off of its platform and kicked parlor off of the store for everything that they, that blue sky is actually doing now. Think about that. All of the threats, the raging, raging, raging violence fetishism that's happening over there, didn't Parlor, wasn't that all of the accusations that were against Parlor?
Starting point is 00:11:26 wasn't that the basically all of the claims against parlor was that oh it's a it's a breeding ground for violence and violent speech etc etc whatever how of the left likes to phrase it but that's what blue sky is doing right now it tells you everything that you need to know does it not coming up we're going to talk about the firings continue it's not cancel culture but a friend of mine made a very good point the list of people that were celebrating writing Charlie Kirk's murder and how there's now a list online. And these are people who did it
Starting point is 00:12:03 publicly. And we talked about this Friday. They did it publicly. They had their names and their professions and they were very stupid about it. And now their names are on a list. And people are suspecting them of being violence. Hey, guess what left? You guys finally got the universal background checks. You were demanding. How does it feel? Our partners over at pre-born, a great organization that wants to save lives. And since Roe v. Wade was overturned. There have been tons of abortion clinics that have been closed, but it doesn't matter, really, with that, the brick and mortar, because the abortion pill has taken their place. And it now accounts for more than 60% of all abortions. There is hope, though.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Preborn is rescuing lives, about 200 babies a day. They love the mothers. They show them their child through an ultrasound. And when a mom sees their baby and hears the baby's heartbeat, everything changes. That baby's chance that life doubles. And this is where you come in. $28 provides an ultrasound. That's less than a cost of dinner outright.
Starting point is 00:12:59 And you're literally giving a baby a chance of life, a woman a chance of being a mother, and you're disrupting the narrative that society constantly pounds into women's heads about them being too weak to be able to handle an unexpected pregnancy. Abortions are continuing to rise, and pre-born is expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of the nation to meet that and help hurting women.

Starting point is 00:13:45 What is the study supposed to be telling me? The headline sucks out loud. I guess they're trying to say that boredom can be okay. Great job, study. They're so glad that we spent 30 seconds on that.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Moving on, we got, we have others, we have other headlines to get into. There's, there's a lot of discussion, and we're going to have to touch on this in the days to come, because I have a handful of headlines about this. The embrace of AI within the admin and the tension that it's causing within the administration, this is going to come to a head, and we're going to have to have a big conversation about it as well. Let's see. The, in D.C., they have a bar that basically bans phones. They do have Polaroid cameras if you're insisting upon commemorating your night out with a photo. It's the first phone-free bar. I don't know how I feel about that.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You know, like it? I think it's kind of stupid and gimmicky. I mean, your drinks better be damn good. Well, like, what if you have to have your phone for emergencies and stuff? Like what, you know, like what if your kid's like, oh my gosh, it's microwaved tinfoil, what do I do? I think if it's an emergency, right, the bar would help you. Or you can just go and get your phone if you need. it, but...
Starting point is 00:14:57 I mean, is it really that bad? I think it's important. I think it's important. To pull away yourself from the phone and all of that? I mean, I have no problem if I'm out with friends, putting my phone down. I don't need a bar to be like, put your phone. Because to me, that just seems like nannyism and pretentious, like, and everybody's going for a gimmick.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And I just, what do they do with your phone? It's a great. I don't like that. It's not my jam, man. It's not my jam. Oh, please let this be alien. scientists say they can't explain a signal they just detected from beyond our galaxy.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Please. Oh, please. It's my birthday month. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please be aliens. Blah, blah, blah, blah, black, gamma ray burst. That's not what it is. It's aliens. They said, well, they've detected a gamma ray burst, and it defies explanation, and it keeps repeating multiple times over in the single course of a day.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Wow, that sounds like a message from aliens. I would like to talk to them, because all these people on this rock are on my last damn nerve. Let's see here. It's true. not going to lie. It is true. That's why I want the aliens. Take me with you. France's economy tumbles. Ooh, Fitch downgraded. They got downgraded. Their credit rating. Fitch downgraded the credit rating of France. I'm really sure that their super far left government had
Starting point is 00:16:11 nothing to do with it, right? I mean, that's what happens when you go full on socialist. Their taxes over there are so insane. If we lived over there, over half of our income would be claimed by the French government. That's how crazy their taxes are. That's not a joke. That's not not an exaggeration. That's exactly how it is. Goodness. Also, this, they said now there's a single exercise that can actually, they're talking about upper body workouts to, I guess, kill cancer cells. Single exercises that can kill cancer cells. You just get up and walk. You get up and walk. We got a lot more on the way. Stick with us. The folks over at Superbeats, we've told you about the super beet chews and now you are becoming familiar with super boreen.
Starting point is 00:16:59 And it's all about metabolism and healthy blood sugar support. It's doctor formulated using a unique form of high absorption berbering plus an added boost of Italian olive fruit extract for antioxidant and cardiovascular support.

There is violent extremism on both sides. It is not proportionate. And in order to have an honest conversation about what led to this moment, that has to focus in part on the left.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I'm glad you mentioned that it's not unique to one side or one party. Charlie Kirk was not a saint. He said two years ago, it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so we can have the Second Amendment. But his murder makes this feel like a very dangerous time. First, his full quote on that was talking about all of the other tradeoffs that you make for the conveniences of something. We have automobile deaths that greatly exceed those ever even from criminal usage of firearms. but you don't have people going out there talking about banning guns to say nothing of medicinal malpractice or errors during surgeries.
Starting point is 00:18:57 No one's calling for the banning of any of those medical innovations, et cetera. Get right, Howard Kurtz. If you're going to sit here and take a deuce on someone's memory, at least accurately quote them. This is why don't ask me to unify with these people. I have no desire to unify with these people. I have no desire at all whatsoever. Now, for all of the people on the left who just literally fetishize themselves into a stupor over violence, that's not what, we're not like you.
Starting point is 00:19:24 We're not calling for violence unless you F-A-F-O, and then absolutely we will return in kind. But I'm done being civil. I'm done being nice to these people because they want you dead. There's two things that I've learned in the past five years. And a friend of mine made this remark. COVID showed you which of your friends wanted to control you and wanted to browbeat, you into submission. And the responses to Charlie Kirk's killing shows you which of your friends want you dead. Because all of these people going out there saying, well, he had, you know, he had
Starting point is 00:19:56 extremist beliefs. No, he didn't. What beliefs specifically were extremists? I share his beliefs. The things I don't agree with him on, I thought he was a little to the left, quite frankly. But that's irrelevant. He did not have extreme views. He had views that you all share. Are you all extremists? Are you? I'm not an extremist because I agree with his viewpoints. Are you an extremist because you agree with his viewpoints?
Starting point is 00:20:28 And that's the thing. These people that are out there trying to justify his slain by saying that, well, he had some extremist views. Well, then you agree with him. So are they justifying your future slain? This is what really angers me with all of this. these people on the left have never, ever once had to consider security for an event. They haven't. I'll never forget.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I was at an event in Los Angeles, and it was supposed to be this big bipartisan thing. And I actually had to have a security detail because, you know, I mean, it was a day of the week that ended in why. So it's, you know, there was always something that was happening. And I remember, who was it? I can't remember who it was. She sometimes did stuff on MSNBC. Sally, what's her face? I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:21:24 She just walked in with some friends. I was like, oh, you have to have security. Like, yeah, I actually do. Must be nice to not. It was like my only response. But that's my point. They don't have to worry about that stuff because we don't go and, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:37 shoot people in the neck for disagreeing with us. We don't go and shoot into a church because they don't affirm our fantastical view of gender. We don't do anything like that. That's what they do. So I get really aggravated when people try to do a both sidesism because there isn't. I actually was invited to participate in a Second Amendment debate
Starting point is 00:21:56 in a gun control city. And I don't know if I'm going to accept it. I'm not going to be doing any outdoor events either. That's gone. We'll not be doing another outdoor event. And I will not be doing any event that is not completely necessary. And I've actually curtailed after Parkland. I had to curtail a lot of the stuff that I accepted anyway
Starting point is 00:22:18 because of the violent nut job left. So all of these people who think that there's in any way both sides, I am so envious of the peaceful little kitten and sunshine life that you lead where you don't have to worry about a violent leftist killing you in front of your family because you disagree with them on policy. You coddled pieces of excrement. How nice it is for you to live that life. And it's not just, I am in no way unique. Everybody who is my contemporary, everybody that I know who is in this industry, literally. has to go through the same thing. I have a very good friend who appears on television who had to go to court and get a no contact order for a politically, a violent politically motivated stalker.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I had another friend who messaged me wanting to help with security because they don't feel comfortable now traveling to do discussions. And they wanted to know what I could advise or who I could introduce them to to help with security. This is literally a daily thing that people on our side, media have to live with. For all of the bitching and moaning from the left about the sanctity of press, they don't agree with it. Because they don't agree with the free press, and they don't agree with the free exchange of ideas. And they don't agree with the First Amendment, which is why they wouldn't disarm you. So you don't even have the second. So I'm leaving my church, and I'm not going back. My last sermon at my church was the Sunday. And our pastor
Starting point is 00:23:54 who is a good preacher when he doesn't talk about politics at all. No one wants to hear about politics. So before anyone gets on their self-appointed high horse, let me save you the energy. It's not about politics. It's about when they do get into politics. You had a monumental culture-shifting tragedy that occurred last week. Very similar to the monumental culture-shifting incident that happened, the tragedy that almost happened with Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, which our pastor did not
Starting point is 00:24:29 mention at all whatsoever at the time nor any time after. Something that he acknowledged in his remarks yesterday. And he goes out there and he talks about how, you know, violence is bad, bad, bad. And then he starts, what about is a mean? And he brings up Melissa Hortman and her husband. The Hortman's who were killed by a Tim Wals' appointee who a bunch of no king's stuff was found in his car amongst some other interesting things. If he was in any way on the right at one point, he sure as hell wasn't anymore. But that was used as an example of, oh, see, it's equal to
Starting point is 00:25:11 this. It's both sides. That's how it was presented. Oh, here's this one thing that we found that actually technically really wasn't a leftist. But we're going to use that because this was a Democrat that was targeted and it's all we have. So, you know, look, both sides. It's not. both sides. He didn't mention the two attempted Trump assassinations. And he acknowledged it. He's like, I didn't mention it, you know, et cetera. He definitely comes from the left side of things on this. If he wanted to be accurate, he would have brought up the Occupy Wall Street violence. He would have brought up the Antifa violence. He would have brought up the numerous trans Tifa members killing kids in schools. He would have brought up the attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh.
Starting point is 00:25:53 he would have brought up the slayings of the two embassy workers in D.C. He would have brought up Ray and Paul getting nearly beaten to death, to say nothing to people in his own congregation who have had their own security issues because of violent leftists. So when he started this, he wasn't only tone death. It was offensively, he was offensively omitting actual real things that show this is not what aboutism. Our whole point for talking about this is to make it stop.
Starting point is 00:26:25 the left's whole point in bringing it up is to justify it so they can continue. And that was pretty much the extent of it. Oh, he gave the words, it's very, yes, it's very upsetting with Charlie Kirk, blah, blah, blah. You know, but this has to stop. And then he gave the example of Hortman and I'm done. I am done with culturally insensitive shepherds who are more interested in making money from butts and pews than they are about saving the souls in the pews. I am done with churches who spend more time on the show of one. worship rather than the worship of worship.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I don't care about your new campuses. I don't care about your new drum kits. I don't care about your new swanky lights. I don't care about any of that stuff. And the problem is that because he's a good, he's a good preacher's preacher. But when he gets into this stuff, I cannot get over that to hear him anymore. I can't. It felt like a betrayal.
Starting point is 00:27:32 So no, I did not have a good weekend. I did not have a good Sunday. And there are a lot of Christians that did neither who walked out of their churches because their pastors decided to be completely, culturally, toned deaf. How are you as a pastor? I don't care what side of the aisle.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Get over yourselves. All of you people who have to qualify everything with, well, I didn't agree with them. No one cares what you thought, Francis. No one knew you existed five seconds ago. No one cares. If you don't have the humanity, to say, you know what, that's bad and it should never have happened.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Then do the world of favor and shut your mouth. But this, it felt like a betrayal. And I know I wasn't the only one. There were some thankfully good preachers out there. I don't understand how you have this completely earth-shattering thing that happens, this nation-shifting event. And you go on with your regularly canned sermon about diversity, which you've been talking about ad nauseum for God knows how.
Starting point is 00:28:36 how long in this church to the point where you make an idol of it. I don't know how you can't see someone who is literally the nice guy. He was the nice guy. He was the nicest one. I don't know how anybody can see that and ignore all of the moments where he's witnessed to people in this capacity and not think, wow, I'm going to give a sermon about the power of good debate and the power of of the goodwill gesture and the good faith gesture of earnest discussion and witnessing to people on college campuses. I don't know how you don't just do the work and chuck out the can speech and talk about that. Oh my gosh. I guess it means you have to compliment someone who's, ooh, on the right and oohhoo voted for Trump. Do you think that Jesus is going to be asking people
Starting point is 00:29:32 who they voted for at the pearly gates? Newsflash, he's not. Do you think that he's going to be evaluating the R or D after your name when you go up to heaven news flash he's not is he going to be looking at whether or not you supported the killing of people over ideas yeah he is and you can't even bring yourself to mention it in a sermon and then you wonder why don't people go to the church and then for you non-catholic pastors out there you're wondering why kids are going to the Catholic church is because you suck it's because you're failing your congregation you're betraying the people the parishioners in the pews. That's why.
Starting point is 00:30:16 They're tired of this Bethel music garbage and this hill song garbage. And they're tired of worship feeling like a concert. They're tired of you constantly pedaling your books. That's why. I'm not Catholic. I don't care about differences of religion. But I'm really tired of people pushing their excuses onto everyone else as a justification for their own errors.
Starting point is 00:30:43 So yes, I'm leaving my church. I'll find another, but I'm going to find one where the pastor actually spends more time in the Bible and less time looking in the mirror. I'm done. I'm not the only one. A lot of us feel that way too. We have more to come as we roll. The people who make the program possible. It is the folks over at All Family Pharmacy. I cannot say enough good. Oh my gosh, they can never go out of business. I will actually physically riot if they do. All Family Pharmacy saved me on me. more than one occasion. First time was when we were hosting people for Thanksgiving and days before I could feel it. I was getting to drop throat. I've had it before. So I ordered antibiotics because there was no way I was getting into my GP. There was no way I was going to be able to get in urgent care. Everybody was sick. There was a line. So made my appointment. Got my antibiotics overnighted from all family pharmacy started them and my symptoms already started dissipating. By the time I went in to see my doctor, he was going to give me the prescription literally for
Starting point is 00:31:54 the same thing that I already got from the other doctor at all family pharmacy and had overnighted. You can get immediate relief your immediate needs. They have everyday medications. They have emergency medications. They have ivermectin. They have NAD plus. I got my anti-naugia prescriptions through them. That is literally the only way that I was able to stay on that boat all last week. Because we went through two days of pretty rough seas in the North Sea. And it was just a lifesaver. I was able to actually work and get things done and be on panels and then have some time in the afternoon to CITC. All Family Pharmacy makes your medications accessible. They are not a middleman and everything that they use is made right here in the U.S. of A.

But as somebody who understands history, when I see, I see slave patrols. Now, I never live through the slave patrol period. But if you know the history of policing in this country, then you understand that they were born out of slave patrols. Wait, so enforcing immigration laws like slaves. So if I bust up into her house, so I can go to Jasmine Crockett's house then and use her stuff and hang out in her house and basically take over her property.
Starting point is 00:33:34 But if she calls police, then she's calling slave patrols. Right? Because that's the exact same thing. Right. And the exact same thing. That's, I'm so glad that she's been redistricted out of her seat. so glad that she's been redistricted out of her seat. So glad.
Starting point is 00:33:54 So incredibly glad. Because I can't take much more of that. I think she's really trying to be like the new Maxine Waters. Oh, gosh. I can't think of. Imagine that being your North Star. Her. Maxine.
Starting point is 00:34:14 You know what? We need more Maxine Waters. Said nobody. Yeah. Nobody said. that. So coming up, a number of things to touch on because we've got the, well, there's a Washington Post reporter who was fired because she was celebrating murder. You know, it's, your employers really don't like it when you're out there very publicly celebrating murder. And it kind of goes
Starting point is 00:34:38 against, you know, their good faith engagement with you as an employee. And so a lot of people, they want to terminate that relationship because they don't want an employee like that, having an association with or representing their business while they behave that way. And the left, because they never want to ever embrace accountability for their actions, want to call that cancel culture, because they believe that that's the same thing as going back 15 years and finding some rando when they were 16 years old's tweet and trying to ruin their lives over it if it was a distasteful joke. So we're going to discuss some of that. We're also going to get into one more thing about the church thing, because I'm not done with it. You know, all of these pastors that don't
Starting point is 00:35:19 want to talk about the cultural aspect of this with the Kirk thing. You can, you don't, no one, you don't forfeit your position by acknowledging how heinous it was without qualification. But you guys got to stop pretending you pastors out there that leftist violence isn't a threat to the church itself. You have to stop pretending that leftist ideology isn't a threat to the church. Have you seen what transgenderism is doing to the youth? Have you seen what abortion on demand funded by taxpayers is done to the family? Have you seen what the assault on fathers is doing to the family, the American unit, which is literally the keystone to this republic. And you guys want to sit up
Starting point is 00:35:53 there and not say anything because you're worried about making some delicate sensitivities mad in your congregation. Are you pastors or are you sheep? If you want people to go to the church, then be the church that's for the people.
Starting point is 00:36:08 We have a lot more. Can you tell I'm very upset about this still? We have a lot more coming up. Second hour on the way. Stick with us. So apparently, we have to stop falling for the whole higher thread counting because it doesn't necessarily mean better sheets. That's fake news, apparently. It's like believing that you use like 10% of your brain. So the secret isn't thread count. It's thread quality. And this is where Bowling Branch has won a lot of folks over yours truly. They use the best
Starting point is 00:36:35 organic cotton. End of, I mean, these are sheets that feel incredible, like the moment you take them out of the box. So the first night that you put them on, you can tell right away that they're softer, they're cooler, and they have a great weight. It's like kind of, kind of having a five-star hotel room in your own house. And I'll tell you something else. The sheets get better every time that you've washed them. I've washed mine countless times and they just keep getting softer. You can't do that with cheap sheets because they totally fall apart. Bull and Branch, they get more luxurious. So you'll sleep better and you're kind of kind of feel like a spoiled brat, but it's okay. I'm not going to go back to the old sheets. Once you try them, you're not going to

When I represent a state like Pennsylvania, that keeps you honest and you always can't forget that a lot of Americans happen to disagree with you. That does not mean that they are fascists or now they want to shred the Constitution. When you hear some Democrats saying Trump is acting like an autocrat. Yeah, no, that's the thing. I, if you actually compare it to an actual autocrat, that is not, that is not just that. Now, last night, for example, people were, were, were,
Starting point is 00:38:00 complaining, they were protesting about, oh, that's the Hitler, Hitler thing. You just don't ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler and those kinds of extreme things. Now, look what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, you know, the man was shot now. We have to turn the temperature down. It's like we can't compare people to these kinds of figures in history. And this is not an autocrat. This is a product of a democratic election. It's like I participated in that. It was safe and it was secure.
Starting point is 00:38:30 We lost. And the America people put us in the minority. And now that's democracy. And I revere democracy. John Futterman is the last remaining sane Democrat. at the last room. He needs to come on over to the Republican Party. Like we can, look, we can scoot over.
Starting point is 00:38:52 I'm scooting over. You can come sit over here. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of the second hour. He's right because words have meanings. I will never forget I had a friend that is no, we're no longer friends now, because it's at that point where during the Tesla stuff, this individual was like all on Facebook
Starting point is 00:39:11 going, oh my gosh, Trump's such a fascist. Elon Musk is. a fascist. They're all fascists using that word over and over again. And I'm like, I think that you two things you need to ask for for Christmas, a personality and a dictionary, because that's not what that word means. Not everyone who disagrees with you is Hitler. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi. Not everyone who disagrees with you is an autocrat. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist. But that's what the left does because they, they think that by tainting you that way, they will just in gender unquestioned hate.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I had actually, somebody made this point. Let me pull this up. They wrote, the film invasion of the body snatchers provides a good metaphor for modern leftism. Whenever the aliens discover a real human being, they scream in point, summoning all of the other aliens to kill the person. And this is what the leftist is doing when he yells fascist. It's an allegory of modern times. It really is.
Starting point is 00:40:12 That's exactly what they do. fascist, fascist. So everyone, unquestionably goes, oh, yes, we totally hate him. He's a fascist. Because people don't want to be associated with a fascist or fascism. They're good people. They don't want to be associated with fascists. And then you have the people who maybe aren't good people, but they're just too dumb to be very bad. And they're like, oh my gosh, he said fascist. I don't want to be a fascist. I'm just going to go along with it. I'm not going to question it. There are people who would rather be seen as going along with the momentum and the crowd because they think that is what looks good.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Not being a disruption to that momentum is what is good. And there are a lot of people like that that are on the left. To me, they're no, I don't make any, I don't see any distinctions between them. They're all bad. But that's what, I mean, when you constantly call someone that and his, I mean, honestly, do they, I would challenge the leftist. You honestly believe that Donald Trump is just like Hitler? In what way? in what way?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Doesn't make any sense. I had someone say that the people that were going after the leftists that were celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination, there was a leftist who said, oh, these would be the same people that would call the Nazis on the
Starting point is 00:41:27 Franks and Frank's family. And I made the remark. I said, oh, you know what? And yes, the leftists killed them too. Be smart. about disagreement, be smart about history, which the left does not be. I mean, we've, we've lived with us for our whole lives. This is all I've ever known them to do. Oh my gosh. Like Bush Hitler. Oh my gosh. This has been going since before, way before even the Tea Party movement. When you do that for 20 years, you will have weak people that start to believe it. And then if you're able to in some way misrepresent difference of opinion. as being so existential of a crisis that it's Hitler level, then how do you think that,
Starting point is 00:42:18 how are you inviting people to respond to that? And they do it because it's incitement without really looking like incitement. That's the whole reason why they do it. I'm just so tired of it. I'm glad, I mean, at least, you know, he's the one, Fetterman's the only one who's pushing back on this stuff. He is literally the only one. He's the only one.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I don't know if I want to play this Bill Maher audio because I feel like Bill Maher is so disingenuous. Bill Maher was part of the problem with me after Parkland because he amplified. Let me just tell you my problem with Bill Maher. I think Bill Maher is culpable and I think he just says stuff like this now to cover his ass. And I don't get people on the right who are so eager to get some sort of fame by association that they run over and fall all over him and slobber all over his ankles. It's disgusting. like stop debasing yourself by those for crying out loud. But I've been mad at him ever since Parkland because after Parkland happened, we had a
Starting point is 00:43:19 torrent of abuse and threats and people who actually followed up on the threats and all kinds of stuff. And there was this like weird pervert from Hollywood. I'd never met this guy in my life. And he comes up out of nowhere. And he's like, oh yeah, Dana Lash tried to do a sitcom with me. I'm like, what? Keep in mind that I literally had representation at UTA, one of the biggest agencies at the
Starting point is 00:43:40 world. I would not chase some like nobody zealist showrunner, which I found out who he was, to try to like pitch them something. It didn't even make any sense. He was like, yeah, she, um, she, uh, tried to pitch me like a hot mom sitcom and, and daily mail ran with it. They were, no one ever asked me for comment. I could not pick this guy out of a lineup. I've never met him in my life. And he just made stuff up to like try to get attention off of a tragedy. by smearing me. And Bill Marr literally repeated it on his show, adding fuel to the fire. So Bill Marr can kiss my ass. And all of the people who are so eager to be popular on the right, who run over to him hoping that he, you know, showcases, like showers them with some kind of affection, you're just as
Starting point is 00:44:32 bad. You're all fame horrors. You're all just as bad. I can't, I was going to play this. I'm like, no, he doesn't deserve it. I'm not because I don't give him any credit. Because he's, He contributed to this so much. And are you just now realizing what you did? Are you just now realizing how bad you helped make it for so many people? Spare me. Yeah, I'm done being nice about all of this stuff. And I think it's pastime.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Just me. So the reactions to this, do we have James Linkford's sound bite? I wanted to play this. So he, oh, he. We have 41,000. Sorry. I want you to listen to this. Audio Soundbite 41.
Starting point is 00:45:15 This is James Langford, who's, what network was in? I don't really care. He was telling people that, oh, we have to have civility, et cetera, basically unity, whatever. Let's just listen. Turmoy that was happening across the country with assassinations. We had two assassination attempts in last year on President Trump. We had the assassination and home invasion of some Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota. We had the governor of Pennsylvania that his home was set on fire and now just a person
Starting point is 00:45:43 literally Charlie Kirk, what he did was he traveled around campuses to have dialogue with people who disagreed, who want to talk about politics. This is supposed to be how we work things out as a country literally is to be able to have open dialogue about all kinds of things. He is assassinated in front of thousands of people leaving his two children and his wife alone. So it's incredibly painful time for the nation and I would push back on all of us and to say we should live out our faith, the principles of our faith, all of the time on it, even how we respond
Starting point is 00:46:13 in anger and moments like this. But also to be able to ask each other, why can't we at least talk about things where we disagree? What are you talking about? We have been talking about things. Have you been under a rock? We were talking about things on which we disagree. That's literally what Kirk was doing, was going to college campuses, and having very peaceful and friendly discussions with people on issues in which they disagree. So what's your point? It just seems like a bunch of word salad. What hot take is that? I mean, look, if you, I'm so tired about the, oh, my civility. We were doing that. And guess what? They killed the guy who was doing it. We were having those civil discussions.
Starting point is 00:46:58 And they shot him in the neck. So spare us this whole preening about, oh, well, we've got to have, you know, open dialogue. We have to commit to it. We've been committing to it. I committed to it in Parkland at the town hall and people told me I should be burned. Other people on the right have committed to it. And they've literally, I've watched Ben Shapiro have events canceled because people were rioting. I've watched other speakers be pushed into janitorial closets because the riots got out of control. What the hell are you talking about James Langford? We have been committing to civil discourse. and they are violent over it.
Starting point is 00:47:39 So why don't you look to the people who are being violent over it and give them this whole miscivility rhetoric? Good grief. Read the room. You sent you interred. Read the room. These people. I'm not about giving any yardage at all whatsoever. I'm done with it.
Starting point is 00:48:04 And a lot of people feel the same way. Mike Johnson needs to get off his backside. here and do something about some of the stuff. I don't know if you guys saw this. This was absolutely egregious. This was Ilyn Omar. She reposted
Starting point is 00:48:22 this video and there are screenshots showing multiple screenshots that prove she absolutely reposted that video then tried to pretend she didn't. The screenshots exist and it shows that she literally reposted it.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Audio somebody 27. This is the video. Charlie Kirk's dead, and before his body got cold, the far right propped his corpse up as a cudgel for their holy war. I've never seen more people within the same sentence both condemn political violence and then immediately call for political violence against their opposition. Don't be fooled. These people don't give a single shit about Charlie Kirk. They are just using his death to further their Christophascist agenda. And before I continue, I need to say that this revisionist history about who Kirk was is just as perplexing. I'm seeing all these heartfelt statements coming from Democratic politicians and celebrities, applauding Kirk as some bastion of free speech and debate.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Kirk was a reprehensible human being. He enacted his political agenda by praying upon weak-minded people. She reposed this. I'm not playing the whole thing. She reposted this. She reposted it. And then she wants to act like she didn't do it, that she had none of this. She didn't do any of this.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Where's Mike Johnson on this issue? Where's the speaker? Because she shared the video. Where is he at on this? Because at this point, this is a sitting lawmaker glorifying murder. Remember, they couldn't even condemn her when she was posting straight up, straight undiluted anti-Semitism on social media. Are they not going to do anything with her?
Starting point is 00:50:04 No, deport her ass. I'm done with her. This brother screwing charlatan. Done with it. We got more on the way as we rolled towards headlines. Our partners who help bring you the program and make it all possible, it's our very good friends over at Caltech, the PR 57, which is one of their newest ones. It's a 5-7, chamber to 5-7, rotary barrel pistol.
Starting point is 00:50:26 It's the lightest 5-7 that's on the market because guns save lives. And I don't want to hear people talk about firearms without talking about how many times firearms are used, illegally in defense of the innocent. It is three times that of criminal usage. And this is what even the Obama DOJ and investigative, report into this discovered back in 2013 and again in 2016. So with the PR 57, this is the lightest 5-7 that's on the market. Like I said, Chamberdain-Fa-7 is a unique top-loading design that replaces traditional magazines with actual stripper clips. That gives it a slimmer carry profile,
Starting point is 00:51:00 a 20 plus one capacity. The rotary barrel also contributes to the lightweakness of it all. It has great trigger, just absolute low recoil, ease of use and accuracy. Easiest field strip available. MSRP makes it affordable, only $399. It's from KELTEC made in America, family-owned values based in Florida. You can learn more at KELTECWeapons.com. That's KELTECWeapons.com. It's the PR 57. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
Starting point is 00:51:31 It's time for Dana's Quick 5. So I did not know that Paris Hilton had a text notes, mini beauty fridge. I guess you keep a little fridge to keep your little stuff in the little fridge and apparently it's getting recalled because it could basically catch fire. Seems kind of opposite of a fridge
Starting point is 00:51:52 but okay so FYI if that's your jam you might want to check your fridge Michigan City paid $11,000 for bus rights out of town for dozens of homeless people so like where? Oh, Florida. They sent them to Vegas and then in Florida as well.
Starting point is 00:52:12 I thought that this wasn't something you were supposed to do. I was told that. They said, oh, we're just trying to help vulnerable members of the community. You're just sending them out to... Do they have no plans? They have no idea where they're going?
Starting point is 00:52:28 Okay. Let's see. This is kind of sad. I really want to talk about this. This is a sad one. Federal Report, duh, though, uncovers mistreatment at the UC Davis Monkey Facility. Wasn't there a movie with Matthew Broderick about this at one point? I thought it's the primate research center at UC Davis. Apparently they are abusing the animals there.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Of course. I am actually not for animal testing. I think that people who are on death row should be the subject to it. That's me. I think that's kind of, you know, F-A-F-O, you know, the consequences. These animals didn't do anything. So you can get mad of me. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:53:03 It's where I'm at. But anyway, they said that they, the mistreatment at the facility. is apparently pretty widespread. So now there's an investigation. That's not unlike what Fauci did with Beagles. Oh, I don't even want to relive that. I don't even want to talk about that one again. That'll get me madder than I've been today. U.S. and China are concluding talks with a framework on a TikTok sale. However, China keeps tweeting or posting on X, call it tweeting, I guess, that they are not going to sacrifice any of their principles. They're not making any kind of compromise. So I don't know. They've had a couple of days of talks in Madrid. Scott Besant apparently said that they had agreed to a framework for a deal to divest TikTok from ByteDance, which is its CCP embedded owner.
Starting point is 00:53:46 And apparently Trump and J. Jinping are set to speak on Friday of this week to approve of the deal, which Besant described as an agreement between the two parties and would shift the social app into U.S. controlled ownership. So we shall watch and see because if, I mean, if they're still sending as part of the framework, they're still sending data to the CCP to China, then it's all for not. So, you know, we'll see. We'll see how that works. Coming up, my friend Jesse Kelly is going to join us because I don't disagree with people getting fired for celebrating murder. And neither should you.

Oh, like hell you can. Oh, yes, you can. God put a hand over my mouth right now. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. We're at the bottom of the second hour. You can listen live across the country. You can also watch us do radio, Channel 347 direct TV, the chats at Rumble.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Yeah, you absolutely can't. I just spring on our guest, a dear friend of mine who I know is right in the same place mentally and just went through hell this morning. Jesse Kelly, you know him. He's host of his own program here on the first as well. And I, Jesse, I was, before I just to keep going. for a minute. I was reading this piece where they literally made up
Starting point is 00:56:40 a quote. And I'm trying to wrap my head. They made up a quote and attributed it to you. Attributed it to you. And I just wanted to kind of get your thoughts on all of this. I know you've been posting
Starting point is 00:56:56 about it on X. What happened? Well, Dana, here's what I woke up to. Same thing. Same thing that you saw. the Hollywood Reporter, which is where I first saw it, they ran some article because, of course, they've come up with a narrative, they're trying to sell that the right is blaming South Park, right? Well, I like South Park.
Starting point is 00:57:18 I've never, however, discussed South Park, I believe in any public form of any kind, not in radio, not in TV, not in print, it's not something I've ever talked about. And I certainly didn't blame them for Charlie's murder. I hated that they took down the episode. Charlie loved it. Why do I like that?
Starting point is 00:57:33 So again, this is how I actually feel. And the Hollywood reporter prints the article, it names me as being one of the people who said South Park got him killed and now his wife's a widow or something like that, which is not only something I've never said, I've never thought it. So friends of mine, we know a lot of the same people, did their own sleuthing, a lot better investigative journalists than I am, and found out it originated in a New York Post article who they deleted. They deleted it. They figured out it was wrong, but by then, the Hollywood reporters, quote in the New York Post. Now Yahoo's quote in the New York Post. Rolling Stones, quote in the New York Post. What's that old Mark Twain line alike can go halfway around the world before the truth is finished putting on its shoes? So this thing is now in multiple publications of a completely made up quote. I don't mean a little bit twisting of the words. The start of the sentence to the end of the sentence is completely fabricated. It never said anything like that at all. I mean, they made up an entire sentence, I mean, a whole sentence with like grammar, punctuation and everything and said,
Starting point is 00:58:36 Jesse Kelly said this. So here it is. They didn't. And no one and just, you know, just to dot all the eyes and cross all the T's. No one ever reached out to you and said, wait, did you say this? Nobody. Nobody reached out. No one asked me for comment. No one asked to confirm it. And this is how they get away with the legal liability, Dana, of being dirty liars. one of them will be the original dirty liar. In this case, it was the New York Post. Now all the others have complete coverage from legal liability because they're simply quoting, not necessarily me. They're quoting the New York Post, as reported by the New York Post. As reported, well, it was reported by the New York Post.
Starting point is 00:59:13 So now they all just get to lie with reckless abandon. That's the world in which we live, I guess. It is the world in which we live in. And there ought to be, honestly, I mean, in a perfect world, there would be consequences for such malicious misrepresentation. We're talking with our friend Jesse Kelly, who's the host of his own show here on the first. I'm right. And of course, the anti-communist manifesto, which seems so timely, considering the Marxist tactics right now with regards to rhetoric. I wanted it, because this is what I really brought you on for, and then all of this stuff with the Hollywood Reporter exploded.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Because the, the protestations from the left at being held accountable for those stupid enough to record themselves or celebrating a murder or to post some sort of celebratory remark about the murder of Charlie Kirk and then their employment's terminated by their employer and they're blaming the right and trying to act like it's cancel culture. I don't think that that's cancel culture. To me, it doesn't seem like it's remotely the same as what Jesse, you and I've seen before where they go after some rando for some like 15-year-old tweet and it's a distasteful joke and then they try to ruin the person's life. This seems wildly different. And I think you agree with that. Oh, of course I agree with it. This is the corporate world, the military.
Starting point is 01:00:27 military, several different entities in our country, discovering that they've had subhuman beasts working for them who don't have any value of human life at all. And what happened was simply, it was just a revelation, a revelation that a lot of these companies woke up one morning and they picked up their cell phone and looked at it and they were mortified that, you know, Susie down in HR isn't the pretty young blonde she looked like. In fact, she's a complete savage who cheers on a widow being made a widow. and two young children losing their father. The left has done this for years and years and years.
Starting point is 01:01:02 They have conditioned the Democrat, the average Democrat, this is not a random thing. The average Democrat, the polls show it believes the death of their political opponent is acceptable. I think the number is like 77, 78%. So while not all of them are assassins, a lot of them will celebrate an assassin or be okay with an assassin or just silently nod and approval of an assassin. You break your base mentally,
Starting point is 01:01:25 and then for 10 years you tell them they're, facing Adolf Hitler, what you're doing is you're giving their conscience permission to go hurt your political opponents. That's why they say the things they say, and it doesn't take long until you find some nutball and some tranny forum on Reddit who's going to break mentally and actually go do it. They've done this. They did it on purpose. These elite communists give orders to the street communists, and the street communists go forward and do what they do, which is hurt and kill people. What you just said was so important that I think a lot of people aren't picking up on these elite communists give their orders to the street communist because they democrats have made
Starting point is 01:02:02 these these far radical agitators their base now i i don't know how the democrats walk it back well i don't know how they do i don't think they can dana i honestly i think they the elite communists have walked themselves into a prison here because there there are some who know particularly the the tranny issue is one they should walk away from just because it's not popular you know it's not that they have something morally against it. It's just not popular. The crowd hates it. The country hates it. But remember that one guy, Seth Bolton, that member of Congress, right after the election came out and he said, you know, I think maybe dudes shouldn't play in women's sports. Like he took the most benign position in the world. He was so savage for it in the next 24 hours.
Starting point is 01:02:42 He walked it back and apologized and never brought it up again. I think Dr. Frankenstein created his monster and now he's afraid of him. That's a great point. Our friend Jesse Kelly is joining us right now. His book, The Anti-Communist Manifesto. Amazon, you need to read it. I'm interested in what your experience has been, and it sounds weird to even verbalize this, but out of everybody that I know on the left, there's only one person that I actually know personally on the left who has not joined in with everyone else in terms of celebrating this murder and calling all of the people who think like Charlie Kirk, you know,
Starting point is 01:03:17 Hitler or fascist, because ultimately, isn't that kind of what the left is saying that if they think that this guy sort of volunteer, if they think that Charlie Kirk volunteered himself for such a horrific way to die, that because of his beliefs, well, we all share his beliefs. Is that not a blanket statement on what they think the treatment of us is? I mean, what are your thoughts on that? And your experience, I mean, what have you seen with the left? Do you, can you count how many people haven't joined in with the rest of the radical leftists? Because I only have one. That's it. No, this is what happens when you don't value human life. I mean, we have, this is, this is, This is where this begins.
Starting point is 01:03:53 It actually begins before the rhetoric. When a human being is not God breathed and sacred and wonderful and created, when he's just flesh and blood, when he's just a thing, then he becomes just a servant to the revolution. And therefore, your value in the mind of a communist is only how much value you bring to the revolution. If you're opposing the revolution, hampering it in any way, and I don't value human life, if that's my morality, well, maybe I won't actually kill you, but I'll probably be okay if you die. Maybe I'll even cheer it. Maybe I will be the one who actually kills you.
Starting point is 01:04:25 But if your life doesn't have any sacred meaning to it at all and you're just a soldier or an impediment to the revolution, this is the inevitable consequence of that. This is downstream of that. This is what happens when you kick God out of your country. Oh, that's a great point. Last question for you. We keep hearing, you know, we played audio earlier of James Langford saying, oh, everybody's got to be civil and we need to, you know, unify. Well, we were doing that and they shot the guy for it. what do you tell people? Why are we the ones who are made to feel like we're bad if we don't want to
Starting point is 01:04:55 unify people with people who think that our beliefs are, it's okay to harm us or to perpetuate violence upon us simply because we think differently from the left? I have more disdain for James Langford and Mitt Romney and John Corny and those types who preach that garbage than I do the communists. And I really mean that because there is a tiny cabal of GOP senators from red states who have kept their foot in the doorway to keep that door from slamming on communism in this country. Weakness like James Langford constantly displays. And this is not a one-off constantly. Weakness like he displays is as responsible for the rise of the evil, vile left in this country as anything else going on because we would have risen up and crushed them years ago
Starting point is 01:05:41 had it not been for these eunuchs in the GOP who constantly kneecap our efforts. It makes me We want to choke somebody. There you go. Jesse Kelly, host of I'm right on the first. World Famous Author, infamous anti-communist as well. It's so good to see you, my friend. I wish it was under better circumstances, but we'll have you back and we'll talk again soon. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Appreciate you, Dana. We have more to come, folks, as we wrap this second hour of the program. And, of course, we have Florida Man, who's going to be our saving grace today. God love Florida Man. That's when you know it's been a tough week when Florida Man's the one who comes and brings the lightness, our partners. over at burn a gun because gun-free zones insanely still exist. Guess where gun-free zones really exist at? College campuses.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Where do you think everybody's getting radicalized? College campuses. It's really disconcerting. If you're a young adult, you're not yet 21. You can't carry a gun. But my gosh, maybe you live in a city and you're going to college and you see the crime rate. You want to be able to protect yourself. This is how I think of burn a gun because I have zero problem in carrying.
Starting point is 01:06:46 and I have zero hesitation in using the lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. And in the instances where you are disarmed because of municipal or private property restrictions, you need to consider a burn a gun. Burn a guns shoot chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. They're concealable. It's no recoil, very easy target acquisition. And they don't care about gun-free zone signs. They're illegal in all of the states.
Starting point is 01:07:12 This is a great idea. if you're a college student, again, under the age of 21, you can't carry, but you want to be able to protect yourself. You should check out a burn a gun because they have two different versions. The SD is the first one. That's the super popular one. Then they have the CL, the compact launcher. They're both pistols. The compact launcher is smaller than the SD. So you have additional concealability. But where you would normally have to do your background check and all this other stuff, no, there's no background checks. There's no waiting periods. There's no fees. There's no tax stamp. It can be shipped right to your door. It's accessible. for everyone. Check it out at Burna.com slash Dana. That's B-Y-R-N-A, either the SD or the new CL, which stands for compact launcher. Burna.com
Starting point is 01:07:54 slash Dana. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right. So I don't even know where to start with this one because I got a couple of really crazy ones. I need to start with the lady who ordered
Starting point is 01:08:15 a baconator at Popeyes and got arrested because she wanted a baconator and apparently they don't have it. If you were surprised that she was inebriated, then I have to ask if you're familiar with our segment. So this Florida woman, she's drunk as all got out, tried ordering a baconator at Popeyes. What does Popeyes have, Kane? Ma'am, this is not a Wendy's. They have chicken. That's right. She was mad because it's not what she wanted. They couldn't give her what she wanted because it's a store that doesn't have that. It was in Fort Lauderdale.
Starting point is 01:08:50 She ended up getting, she ended up being arrested. She, because she wouldn't get out of the drive-thru window and she tried arguing. I can't even play this video because every other word is something that we would get fine for airing. But the cops did show up and they did take her into custody. But she said that wasn't, I think they gave her a strip of bacon. I didn't know they had it. I don't know. They gave her, it looks like they gave her a strip of bacon, but she said that's not what she wanted.
Starting point is 01:09:18 And they kept telling her, man, this is not that kind of store. But, you know, it didn't work. I'm just saying, you know, you've got to pay attention to the menu. A Florida man with a luggage full of fake ideas and blank checks is arrested for not paying his Disney World hotel bill. Was he by himself? He was arrested for grand theft by fraud. And he had a $2,200 hotel bill at the Swan Hotel at Walt Disney World. and 26 years old was arrested for grand theft.
Starting point is 01:09:48 He said he was on a business trip, and he stayed for 10 days, 10 days in his $2,000. I mean, like that seems like that's cheap, isn't it? Yeah, way cheap. Yeah. I'm just wondering about that. Anyway, at some point during the stay, the hotel staff realized he gave them a credit card
Starting point is 01:10:06 that was flagged as fraudulent. It was a company credit card under the name Brian Smith. The guy, Justin Lara, said that was his boss. He said he was covering the balance for the hotel. all of the other credit cards they tried to process were declined. He had a Florida ID but said he was from New York and then said he was there for a industry conference that took place earlier in the year.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Okay. So he couldn't get his story straight. They ended up having to call the police on him and he was taken into custody because that was, I mean, he was just basically trying to defraud everybody. Let's see. Florida man, what?
Starting point is 01:10:43 I'm sorry, what? Why? He's filmed eating cookies from a pack that's infested with bugs. That's disgusting. Why did he do this, Kane? When you watch it, it's like... I'm not watching. We're not airing this for these people.
Starting point is 01:10:58 No, I don't recommend it. We're going to just skip on past this headline because I'm going to get sick. You know that dry heave you do when you see something horrible? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm. So a Florida woman is blaming an alligator overpopulation and a multi-million dollar gator trade for fatal attacks in Lake Kissimme. She said that it's not just bad luck. She said that
Starting point is 01:11:23 there's a lot of problems with the gators here. She says that only Florida insiders know about the millions that's made from their meat, their hides and even their eggs. This is in Polk County. Alligator eggs. She says that the whole place has basically been turned into a giant alligator farm. They've even got Tampa Bay 28, their local news, investigating it now. They said that they even do designer handbags from the gator skin that they're the gator high that they're raising up here and now it's a multi-million dollar industry because they are not an endangered species any longer it's actually really there's an overpopulation and uh she said she was saying that uh it's making it very very dangerous and that in one state park alone they had three attacks in two months and that
Starting point is 01:12:05 one woman was simply kayaking and the gator grabbed her arm as she was kayaking and tried to pull her under the water. She said gators will chase people that are near the water, not even by the water's edge, but they launch themselves. I mean, it sounds like, and these are big gators. In fact, one alligator attack was fatal, tipped a canoe over and took the guy's wife under water. Cynthia Dykema, they were avocanoist from Michigan that were in Florida. They took annual visits there every year to canoe. And that's one of the, he's, I mean, obviously devastated. He watched his wife die in an alligator attack. He said it did a death roll and then swam away with her. Can you that I can't even imagine. I cannot even imagine.
Starting point is 01:12:45 And they said it's directly due to the overpopulation of gators in the lake. So is it because of like the gator farming kind of situation? I would just think if it's a gator farm that they would be like in like a, you know, a farm that's not out there in the public, right? I don't know. I just, I've got a lot of, I got a lot of questions. Also, let's see, a couple of other ones. There's a Florida woman who was arrested for practicing medicine without a license. There's another one who was using a fake ID to apply for a job as a nurse. It seems kind of sketchy, I would say. Just, you know, we also, let's see, ooh, boat crash, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Oh, people got into a fight with bug spray. They got into a fight in a public's over bug spray. A Florida man got arrested because he sprayed a bunch of people in the face with it. this is at a Publix in Port Charlotte. It was a grocery store checkout fight, and it spiraled into violence where one Port Charlotte man attacked a couple in the Publix and blasted them in the face with bug spray. At 2 p.m. on a Sunday. Come on. So apparently they got into the fight.
Starting point is 01:13:53 It was a 60 fight. It was a bunch of elderly people. They got into a fight because they were both trying to use the same checkout at the same time. And so they were both putting their stuff on the conveyor belt. And it went from that to hands. and then bug spray. And of course, the guy who sprayed the bug spray was taken into custody. He was two counts of aggravated battery.
Starting point is 01:14:12 He bonded out. Third hour on the way. Stick with us. We have more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of the second hour.

I'm not saying we have to just sing kumbaya and hold hands. What I'm saying is we actually should disagree. I think Charlie represented that better than
Starting point is 01:15:44 anyone. Charlie said some very inflammatory things. And in some corners of the web, that's all people have heard. But he also said some other things about forgiveness. This is Governor Spencer Cox. I take back everything nice. I said about him. What do you mean he said some very inflammatory things? What are they? These people go, well, he said some inflammatory stuff. Like what? Give me an example. Don't sit here and try to both sides this. Give me an example. You coward. You absolute coward. You go on CNN and all of a sudden you got to go, Oh, you know, I was giving this guy some grace in the wake of a tragedy because he was one of the guys who was fighting the Republicans in his state on all the trains issues. But now I don't,
Starting point is 01:16:23 I don't have that good grace in me anymore. So no, screw you. If that's the stuff that you're saying without actually coming up, but he said some inflammatory things like, like what? here's my problem with that with lawmakers who do this what did he say that was so bad and what did he say that's different from anybody else on the right do you see what i'm saying if you're thinking, because what that does, his Spencer Cox, Governor of Utah that you just heard, his argument that, well, he said some inflammatory things and he said some things, first off, all right there, you are giving ground to the people who killed him. By saying that in some small, however insignificant way, it was justified because he said some inflammatory things. Without even realizing he's doing it, that's what Spencer Cox is arguing.
Starting point is 01:17:09 What did he say that was so inflammatory, that men can't be, women? Guess what? The majority of America feels like that. Should the majority of America now be worried about being shot in the throat by some deranged trans Tifa leftist? Because we simply are speaking out on scientific truth? How was that inflammatory? How is it inflammatory to cite scripture, Spencer Cox? What inflammatory remarks did he say? I asked this because I'm, hence to sky, some people on the right thought Charlie Kirk was too nice. So I really want to know what inflammatory things he said. What was inflammatory?
Starting point is 01:17:50 Be specific. What? You absolute coward. You rat bastard. Go on CNN and then you immediately start doing this. These cowards all crumble on CNN. I've seen it over and over again. It blows the mind.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this third hour. The reason I get so mad over this. And by the way, I'm not like an angry person. person. And this is very rare radio. But if you can't get angry over something like this and have justifiable righteous indignation and righteous rage over something like this, what are you saving your emotion for? The whole purpose of us feeling this way is because we never wanted to happen again.
Starting point is 01:18:31 It should have never happened in the first place. But we have people who try to qualify what happened by saying, well, there was some inflammatory things said without giving any example. By way of doing that, what you're what you're claiming is that it is okay to classify basic tenets like scripture that the fact that men cannot just decide to become women things like that and you're saying that it's so inflammatory that it's it maybe shouldn't be said else you might get killed that's what you're justifying by saying that in so many words that's what he's doing that's why i reject this wholeheartedly i reject the whole well it was inflammatory speech is not violence violence is violence and that's why the left always wants to say that speech is violence
Starting point is 01:19:11 so they can justify violence against the people speaking. That's the whole point. And you're giving them ground to do it by saying stuff like that. I had a lot of people who say they were very upset because some of their pastors mentioned what happened with Kirk. Some didn't. They wouldn't be
Starting point is 01:19:30 unlike the Emmys, which I didn't watch. Can I just talk about this chick named Hannah Nbinder? She gets up there and she's like, oh, free Palestine and blank whatever. I'm just, I'll say it because no one else will. You have to be way hotter than she is to be able to be that stupid politically. Okay. Do I even want to play this?
Starting point is 01:19:48 Go ahead and play it. Just so stupid. Finally, oh, I'll pay the difference. Sorry. Finally, I just want to say, I just want to say, finally, go birds, and free Palestine.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Thank you. Yeah, I think you've got to, nobody knows who she is. So I guess that's why she's pulling this stunt. You're not hot enough to be crazy. I'm sorry. you're not. I mean, there's like a ratio there and you don't qualify. And then
Starting point is 01:20:16 you have Javier Bardem, audio somebody 37, who's an absolute moron. Listen to him. If you find out a company that you're going to go into business with and business with Israel, what do you do? I won't work. I won't work. I cannot
Starting point is 01:20:32 work with somebody that's justify or support the genocide. I can't. What about the hostages, though, Javier? And we shouldn't be able to do that. And this industry and in any other industry today in madrid in spain the cycle la welta the bicycle tour it was stopped what about the hostages had here with your little cutie little picnic blanket on your stupid neck what about what about the hostages any any words on those why weren't the hostages released
Starting point is 01:21:00 why is it a genocide when hamas is doing it to everybody it's hamas is genocide right but yet you just don't like jews that's the whole problem he doesn't like jewish people and if you add and he's one of those people who go, oh, it's because of the, I just don't like the government. You moron, you couldn't even explain how their government's structured. So spare us. No one believes that you're insightful enough for that. I just have no patience for it. They didn't mention anything about, you know, a political assassination.
Starting point is 01:21:28 They didn't mention anything about it because they all support it. That's what I'm saying. All of these people, who is this? Who is this guy right here? Let's pull up. This is audio sound by 28. This is the TMZ guy. Yeah, go and play the TMZ guy from it.
Starting point is 01:21:48 And I want to make an, I'm going to call for other audio after we play this, but go ahead. I am not going to mince words. I fear a civil war. I have lived a long time. And I have seen a president assassinated. I have seen multiple attempts at killing presidents. I have seen civil rights leaders slain, seen presidential candidates slain. I have seen war.
Starting point is 01:22:14 I have seen riots, but Charlie Kirk is different. This is not a politician. This is somebody who was slaughtered for his views and not pushing a particular, you know, even political party, I think he had an ideology. And he was a young guy on college campuses. And I am feeling like people are at the point where they think, this is the solution. And I am worried as much as I have. Because I feel like he's trying to indict the right for it. You know who the people who think that? Let's play audio some by 26. Let's play the flashback of degenerates. This montage of
Starting point is 01:22:58 degenerates on MSNBC. Go ahead and play this. But this is a war. This isn't a battle. And we absolutely will win this war. It is a war. It is indeed a war. And I have to say they have won some battles, Jasmine. But we have to keep our eye on war. and everybody needs to pick up a weapon and get involved because this is for the safety and lasting of that's just one example wait there's more we have like a lot more there's others i mean you know audio somebody 25 flashback nancy pelosi go ahead let's get let's get this whole brought up here this is violence against women he may not know that but when he says things like i want to
Starting point is 01:23:39 protect women whether they like it or not that is violence against women Would you want your son to say that to anyone? Would you want your daughter to be told that? Would you want your husband to say that to you, whether you like it or not, violence against women? People don't have any intention of saying something that's going to lead to something dangerous. Let's play, give me audio somebody 30. This is Peter Baker over the New York Times. This guy's also a piece of work.
Starting point is 01:24:06 He, again, what things specifically, Peter, go ahead. So even though Charlie Kirk held no office, never ran for office, had no position of power or authority in the traditional sense. He had obviously a network of people who he influenced. Now, he said a lot of things that got a lot of people riled up, right? And that's part of his style. What? What? What particularly?
Starting point is 01:24:32 What? Hey, man, you're going up there and you're playing the game. If you're going to swing, make contact. What are you talking about? What specifically? Oh, I said some things. Yeah, he said some things. And then that other annoying bra on MSNBC.
Starting point is 01:24:48 It's kind of vocal tonality as that. Sounds like she's gagging. Specifically what? Oh, they can't. Notice how none of them can say. Because they have no idea what he said. They have no clue. They just know he was somebody on the right.
Starting point is 01:25:07 And if they can't, if they don't know what he said, they'll make it up. Washington Post, Karen Attia is trying to make herself a big of a big, victim. This broad, she got fired from the Washington Post because she literally fabricated a quote and attributed it to Charlie to justify his actual murder. Just like the Hollywood reporter made up a quote or New York Post and then Hollywood reporter ran with it and attributed it to Jesse Kelly. She literally made up a completely fake quote. Made it up. And then, published it. And the Washington Post found out that she made up a quote and published it. And now she's acting like she's the victim. She's the, she's the victim now. When she was the one who did it in
Starting point is 01:25:58 the first place, she made up a quote. So it doesn't even matter. They don't know what he said. They have no idea what he said. They'll just make it up. They'll just make it up. I, there's no reasoning with these types of people. And the left was going, oh, can you believe Karen Attia? She was, I got fired over Charlie Kirk posts. She made up stuff and got fired for it. That's why she got fired because she was a dishonest, broad. That's why she got fired.
Starting point is 01:26:31 She wasn't fired over Charlie Kirk. She was fired because she made up a quote. Can you imagine if I made up a quote? I would be sued. If I made up a quote on this program, and ran with it and attributed it to someone and ran with it, they would sue me. She did this to him knowing that he can't speak up against her because he's dead, because her ideology killed him.
Starting point is 01:27:00 And that's the truth of it. I mean, I, if they can't, they don't even know what he said. They'll just, like I said, they'll just make it up in the meantime. They'll entirely make it up. I mean, I've got a ton of. audio here where people are nasty. In fact, we actually stopped collecting audio. We had to of all of the nasty people. She literally, the quote that she made up was she said that he said, quote, black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white
Starting point is 01:27:34 person slot. He literally never said that at all whatsoever, at all. And she lied and said it was a direct quote. And now she's running around, I got fired by the Washington Post because she made up a a horrible quote to get attention for herself after someone was killed. These people are despicable. There's no unity with people like this. There's none, not at all whatsoever. In fact, Rolling Stone has two competing headlines by the same, interestingly enough, in the same section, commentary.
Starting point is 01:28:05 So in February of 2023, they wrote this, quote, White Cancel Culture is Good for Democracy. Today they're writing, quote, people are losing their jobs for criticizing slaying free speech advocate Charlie Kirk. Someone had said, these people, the people who are upset that they're getting fired over free speech had no problem with Charlie Kirk getting killed for his. And that's absolutely true. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So first up, this is, did I read like the one o'clock? I think I read the one o'clock. I think I read the one of
Starting point is 01:28:43 o'clock instead of in place of the 11 o'clock. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on, no, no. No, I didn't. It was just, I think, repeated several times. Let's see. This, I got a couple of different ones. There is a strange gas pumping defect that's making $100,000 corvettes go up into flames. Okay. No, that's not good at all. This is coming from the Wall Street Journal. GM recalled 23,000 vehicles over the issue, which just sparked dramatic scenes at filling stations. I don't like to see nice, fast cars go up in flames. This hurts the heart. It hurts the heart.
Starting point is 01:29:22 So they're recalling, just 23,000 vehicles. So apparently at filling stations, they've had some pretty dramatic, pretty dramatic scenes there as well. Let's see. The DOJ is sharing state voter rolls lists with Homeland Security. It's coming through for people who are not legally. able to vote. I feel like this is something that's why wasn't this already being done?
Starting point is 01:29:50 I just got to ask a question of why isn't this already been done? Long term unemployment is at a post-pandemic high. I mean, I don't know why people expected. That's one thing.
Starting point is 01:30:04 There is a lot about unemployment numbers. It's mostly government people. It's government people and that are not. Why can't they just go and get a regular job? Anybody? Nobody knows? Why can't they go and get a regular job? Private sector has suffered so horribly they can't get paid what they were getting paid through the government. Oh, oh, that's it. Oh, okay. Apparently, Sidney-Backlash in Hollywood is real. So there were a number of articles about the Emmys last night. She was at the Emmys and she was on stage very briefly
Starting point is 01:30:37 to present an award. But apparently there are a lot of articles saying that she was snubbed on, like at a lot of people backstage will talk and say hello to each other. And apparently they were snubbing her over views that because they think that she's MAGA because of her denim ad. I'm not even kidding. And she apparently did not attend any of the after parties after. That actually might be a good thing because do you really want to go and rub shoulders with these cretons?
Starting point is 01:31:03 I wouldn't. I mean, so maybe, you know, maybe that was like a choice that she made so she didn't have to deal with it. I mean, you never know. And let's see. Well, we're running out of time here. But coming up, Stephen Yates is going to be joining us. We've got a lot of stuff to discuss, not just, you know, with the national news that we've had, but also the situation with TikTok.
Starting point is 01:31:25 And apparently Trump and Xi Jinping are set to talk Friday to finalize the framework of a deal. Stick with us. Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this third hour. We told you earlier, well, one of the other things that we're watching in addition to the ongoing developments coming out about the assassination that took place last week is these expected discussions with POTUS and Xi Jinping as it relates to TikTok. And I really think that this dovetails in with everything that we've been talking about because social media has helped to foment so much of this nasty. in the United States and this pervasive thought that people apparently it's okay to
Starting point is 01:32:17 celebrate someone's death if they simply because they thought differently from you or it's okay that someone should even die because they think differently from you because you're too weak to coexist with a different set of ideals and it is so pervasive on social media and platforms like TikTok and we've talked previously about the algorithms that TikTok shows us compared to the algorithms that TikTok shows the Chinese or other more China allied nations, it's night and day. So now with this framework of an acquisition expected to kind of go through, they're going to apparently formalize it later this week,
Starting point is 01:32:55 does that necessarily mean that the problem is off the table? Because remaining is the question about where the data goes. Joining us now to talk about this, our very good friend Stephen Yates, he's worked in not one but two presidential administrations, the Trump administration, as well as the Bush administration, senior fellow, research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He joins us now via video. Stephen, my good friend, it's very good to see you.
Starting point is 01:33:18 It's been a very, very weird week. And now we're going to be capping this week off with maybe the expectation that there's going to be an agreed-to framework. But that really leaves that question of, well, even if they do change ownership and it becomes something that is owned by a U.S. company, No one's really given us any insight as to where that data goes, have they? No, we still have a lot of details to flesh out. And of course, as famously has said, the devil is in the details.
Starting point is 01:33:46 And I think that we're seem to be getting closer to what the law requires with regard to the divestiture. There's this question of ownership, algorithm, and data. And those are sort of the three legs of the stool that have to be dealt with. But just to take a step back from it, this is a national security. issue in part because the age demographic that is profoundly impacted by this technology is the demographic that we are relying upon to be productive citizens, to be recruits for our military, to allow for elder people like me to one day be able to retire and be taken care of, and to allow it a foreign manipulative power to kind of numb or distract the minds of that
Starting point is 01:34:33 demographic is a national security concern. So this has not just been an academic conversation. I hope that the president is within a range of being able to address all three legs of that, but it's after his phone call with Xi Jinping on Friday that we hope to get a bit more of the detail on this. Yeah. And that's going to be the big thing, because even if, just with the data as well, the control of the algorithm, isn't that the big thing? I mean, couldn't all of this have just been avoided if they said, yeah, you can just have control of the algorithm and we'll just, you know, we'll parse it out like that. I mean, if I remember in the early days of negotiation, people were even settled with, they were even going to settle on something as that and take
Starting point is 01:35:15 that as a win. Yeah, I just don't think that with ownership and data off the table, you can have confidence that they're not going to get more value out of the algorithm, even if someone else is running it. So to me, they're sort of three parts of the same whole. But of course, you're right that the algorithm is where the bull's eye is. That is where, say, after October 7th and the horrendous attack on Israel, that immediately things were flamed into people's timelines that were very pro-Palestinian messages and led to the insta-mobs across a bunch of universities in the United States and elsewhere.
Starting point is 01:35:55 That was not by accident. It's not always just about the U.S. and China. It's about pulling away from the American social fabric. distracting, disorienting, and degrading America. And that, I think, is why ultimately it had been far better for us to have an American alternative. And you'd like to believe with some of the wealthiest and most powerful entertainment figures, political figures, and tech gurus, we could do this and wouldn't have to be dependent
Starting point is 01:36:23 on technology that's run by China. Yeah, that's a great point. But so far, no takers, really. There hasn't been really a lot of takers. I don't think anybody wants to mess with that circus, not their monkeys, not their circus. It kind of seems what it feels like. I wanted to ask you about what in the world is happening with South Korea right now. I read a piece that was getting into how there are rallies that are allowed, anti-American rallies that are allowed to be held outside their embassy.
Starting point is 01:36:50 And I'm all for free speech, fine, whatever. But it's inconsistent because apparently they've really locked down any kind of dissent with China in South Korea. Like even banning any kind of demonstrations outside of the embassy in, South Korea, the Chinese embassy in South Korea. I'm a little concerned about this because they've been going through a very unstable period here. Is this a signal that they're kind of trying to get a little closer to China? Oh, I have some very good friends that do follow that line of logic and are very, very concerned. I always get a little bit concerned about overreating some of the incidental things that come forward. The Koreans are possibly the world's greatest purveyors of drama in the
Starting point is 01:37:33 world. And I say this with love and admiration in a certain sense. They dominate soap opera. They have a huge amount of drama. It's true. It's quite good. Yeah. And so that's one element of this. And of course, we should be very watchful of a left-leaning administration in Korea being too permissive to the Chinese. But sometimes in government, things that happen are sort of the squeaky wheel gets the oil. And so the Chinese complain about everything. If they get a mosquito, They're blaming you and asking you to do something about it. It could be that we haven't really put a powerful ambassador as a representative of the president into our embassy, are not pushing our point of view in a manner we could and we should.
Starting point is 01:38:18 And so I'm not going to give them a free pass on this, but I really want us to be doing everything we should be doing. And sometimes the explanation for these things we're seeing is because the Chinese are masters of playing the drama. drama back. And I think we should maybe be a little bit better drama queens about the things we care about and let's see where the balance falls. That's actually a very good point. And you're all right. Their K dramas are. I'm not saying that I've watched a handful of them. Maybe I have, but they are quite good with the drama. I will say that. A couple of other things to touch with you on because we were talking about, by the way, speaking of South Korea, their foreign ministers visiting China. That seems kind of more business as kind of usual that seemed like a diplomacy sort of trip, unless I'm wrong?
Starting point is 01:39:04 Well, I mean, they're right there. They're just across a short piece of water to deal with China. Of course, North Korea has a land border with China. And so it's especially with President Trump conducting diplomacy with anyone and everyone around the world. I can't really tell the leaders of our allies not to engage and have their conversations too. Just want to make sure that we're on the joke that we have our conversations and at least whatever our misgivings might be about the left-leaning government. I had hoped that President Yun would stay out of trouble and would stay in office. That I didn't get my wish. But at least the new president's first big visit was to Japan and then to the United States. Those were the right touch points to get this right.
Starting point is 01:39:48 That's an important point. That makes sense. One last question for you. We're now looking at a different part of the country. So we had the Polish incursion into Polish airspace by Russian drones. And apparently they were on their way to attack Ukraine and went through Polish airspace. Well, now Romania is saying that they've also had their airspace breached by Russian drones, that they were tracking them. They said it's reckless escalation. It's the second NATO country. I know Poland's already invoked Article 4 to review it and see if there's additional security needed. But what is your take on this? Well, it matters. And we're in a completely different kind of warfare with drones.
Starting point is 01:40:28 And when it comes to drone warfare, it kind of matters what was the scope of the incursion or the attack? And if it's sort of one or two and it's kind of incidental or possibly accidental, then I wouldn't want to sort of risk World War III over something like that. But definitely these encourage, it shows the irresponsibility of the Russian effort. And it does show the risk that a miscalculation could trip something that we don't want to spiral out of control. So it's I think a challenge and a warning for other theaters because drone warfare is going to be breaking out in Asia where we have allies that are in potential risk of conflict. And we're going to need to learn how to deal with this. But for now, the Romania part, I think is more of a watching and warning brief.
Starting point is 01:41:13 The Poland incursion was a little bit more substantial. And as long as we can get the president's wish of people to get serious about peace and stop funding the war machine, then maybe we've got better options. There we go. That's it. Our good friend, Stephen Yates, at Yatescoms on X. Always good to see you, my friend. Thank you so much for your time. We appreciate you. Have a good week. God bless you. Thank you, Dana. Take good care. Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of not so serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, real quick. At no point during yesterday's show was Charlie Kirk's death celebrated. At no point whatsoever did we celebrate Charlie Kirk's death. I did call him a piece of shit. That much is true.
Starting point is 01:42:05 But at no point was his death celebrated. If it was, go find me a quote. Go find me something. Oh, we'll go find you a quote, mate. We'll go find you a quote right now. Will you please rotate? Thank you. Take this next one.
Starting point is 01:42:22 To an absolute piece of shit of a human being. The pronouns was were. Oh, and then the guy calls himself Bob Villain. He's an absolute female copulatory organ. And he's a coward because he's like, no, that's not what was done. Oh, no, no, no, you ran. You talked a really big game. You did.
Starting point is 01:43:02 You talked a big game. And now you're being a complete dog of a coward and trying to walk it back. Because now people notice. There's a one time in his life that someone noticed him. Oh my gosh. Oh, precious. And now he's feeling the heat of it.
Starting point is 01:43:16 And so he decides to be a big giant coward and go, oh, no, I dare you to find me one quote. Okay, well, there it is. There's the quote. That's the video of you at your show, literally like a couple of days before doing it. And you got a response to that?
Starting point is 01:43:29 You absolute coward. Absolute coward. These people are sick. This is like not, you know, I got to be real. It's not like one or two things. These are like regular. These are like,
Starting point is 01:43:40 there's a lot of people. I'm not going to lie and be like, no, guys, it's only a couple. I'm not going to lie to you. Every damn leftist that I have seen, every single one, except maybe John Fetterman, I can't believe him saying that. And maybe, I can't even believe I'm saying this, Bernie Sanders, and that's it. Every damn leftist has tried to qualify it without exception. And it's not just politicians.
Starting point is 01:44:06 It's like doctors and teachers, like this Canadian teacher. I don't even think we can play this, can we? This Canadian teacher, we'll save this for that video for tomorrow. Well, it's for today in stupidity. Oh, okay. Well, hang on. I'll set it up. Kane's going to play it later.
Starting point is 01:44:21 This teacher who made her kids watch it, her students watch the killing and talked about what a fascist Kirk was. This is a teacher. You know how many teachers are coming up in this? There's another teacher at Clemson. Clemson literally just issued a statement saying that they were, they had faculty members who were moved from their teaching duties because of this, because of their, they were celebrating murder openly on social.
Starting point is 01:44:42 media. There are pilots, like there are a handful of pilots that were fired because they were celebrating, openly celebrating murder. There's a doctor, doctors that were openly celebrating murder. Do you trust someone who thinks that someone should die for their viewpoints? Do you trust that person to operate on you? Do you trust someone who thinks you should die for your beliefs? Do you trust them to fly the plane that you're in? Do you trust someone who thinks that you should die for your beliefs to educate your children? No. This is not like a couple of people. For all of the people who talk about unity, there is no unity. We aren't the ones who are driving this. And I'll be damned if we're the ones who are lectured about having to make up for the absolute immoral depravity of the left.
Starting point is 01:45:27 I am not making up for the absence of a soul for those people. It is not our responsibility. We tried to open and honest dialogue and somebody got murdered for it in front of his wife and his little kids and his parents. The left needs to step up. If the left wants unity, the left can start with it. Because the right, we were here doing it. I showed up at a town hall and they screamed burn her. At a town hall.
Starting point is 01:45:56 I had people trying to break into my home. My kid's school had to be locked down for crying out loud. Charlie Kirk is having an honest, good faith debate and they shoot him in the neck. Ben Shapiro gets this appearances canceled at colleges. because people are rioting. Other people get shoved into janitorial closets where they got to hide out because of violent rioters. So no, it's not the right that needs to start this.
Starting point is 01:46:19 If the left wants unity, they can start by being nice and civil. They can start. I'm done with trying to fix the depravity of these cretons. They can start. If you want unity, if you want it toned down, you start. Otherwise, I got two fingers on two hands for you. Done. No, we're going with that.
Starting point is 01:46:42 You want it, you bring it to the table then. I mean, I got a video of another guy who hasn't been canceled on YouTube or Twitch literally calling for more death. He is a huge YouTuber. He's calling for more death. This is everywhere. There's no qualifying it.
Starting point is 01:46:59 If you want unity, then start by being civil left. And there goes for all of these average, everyday casual leftists. Stop qualifying it. Stop being silent. Stop being cowards. And everybody else, stop being bigots just because somebody thinks differently from you.
Starting point is 01:47:17 Weak. Today in stupidity, Cain. All right, it is. Well, we had, this whole show was about the emotional immaturity of the left. Ends up in stupidity. But this is a Canadian teacher Dana was referring to just minutes ago. Wow. I can't even believe it.
Starting point is 01:47:31 But here's the news story explaining it all. Well, the Toronto District School Board is investigating after a teacher reportedly showed part of the video of Kirk's assassination to some young. students. The school board has not released the name of the teacher, only that they were a staff member at the Corvette Junior Public School. The school's principal says the teacher had been supervising a class of French immersion students in grades five and six when the video was shown. I think that the teacher was relieved of all responsibilities until an investigation was complete. Huh, good Lord. Yeah. How mean how far are they gonna go?
Starting point is 01:48:06 Unbelievable. Folks, that does it for us for today. Find us over and Substack chapter and verse. YouTube, Facebook, like, and subscribe. Stay strong. Stay faithful. Back with you tomorrow.
