with trees on the edge of the UVU campus. Investigators discovered a bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark-colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mouser model 98-30-0.36 caliber bolt-action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing read, notices, bulges, capital O-W-O, what's this question mark? Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read,

Hey, Fascist, exclamation point, catch, exclamation point. Up arrow, symbol, right arrow, and three down arrow symbols. A second, unfired casing read, Oh, Bella Chow, Bella Chow, Chow, and a third unfired casing read, if you read this, you are gay, L-M-A-O. We are indebted to law enforcement across the state who has worked seamlessly together. Local law enforcement.

So that is the, that was the governor of Utah, who, excuse me, is giving you the latest in this horrific story that we have been following and have been, living through now for the past couple of days, none so worse as to what Charlie Kirk's family is going through. And at this press conference, they were giving you some of just the latest developments because they did, it looks like they did catch the guy after this intense manhunt. How long did this manhunt go on? I mean, it's been 48 hours. And they were giving you.

you some insight into the motive as well. There was, and I'm pulling this note up, so there was a family member that had said prior to this at a meal that the killer, and we'll just name him once, Tyler Robinson, age 22, that he had talked about how Charlie Kirk was coming to the campus and that he just hated his views. and hated, et cetera. I mean, clearly there was political animus here. Welcome to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this first hour and bringing you the latest with this. This individual who is finally taken into custody turned in by his father. And I just want to pause for a moment on that. Turned in by his father. He confessed to his father.

and his father secured his son and called police. His father had worked with the sheriff's office. He himself was in law enforcement for a couple of decades. And he confessed to his father and the father turned him in. Secured his son, turned him in. And I have to say that, that had to be a lot. for him to do. And I wanted to acknowledge that. And the stuff that he had written, this, this murderer, they were giving you some of the things that he had inscribed on these casings,

the code, the down-up-up, that's, that is a stratagem from helldivers, a video game. And it's the hellfire bomb, I believe. That's the code for, actually. that's not one of the stratagems I have equipped, but that's a stratagem from from helldivers. And apparently it's the hellfire bomb. And so he was making a note, like, I'm dropping a bomb on this. That's the whole point of him putting that on there. Which gives you a little bit of insight into what he wanted this to be, because there had been a lot of conversation. I know with you all in the comments, oh, my gosh, the emails, because a lot of people just like to vent and they want to ask questions, even though they kind of already know the answer or they don't want to know the answer.

lot of you have sent emails asking a lot of people were saying was this a professional thing and it didn't seem professional. I was really upset with a lot of the commentary on some of cable news where they had people going out there like this was a totally pro thing. And I just thought you betrayed, you know, everything that is in the lower third. These people going out there were experts in this and we're telling you it's pro. Do you realize that you realize how dumb and dangerous that is to do something like that this early on? But now we know 22 years old, a bolt action rifle and the motive is very clear. And it's not a rifle that you would normally,

that is normally comes up in these instances. We're going to talk more about this here coming up. We also saw a video yesterday of Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady going to Arizona to meet with Erica Kirk. Charlie's widow and escorting the casket on Air Force 2 back to Arizona. And this is this video. And the vice president, they are escorting it from the hearse. And it is just so somber.

And so it's a lot. They brought him home. And the second lady was seen comforting Erica Kirk, his widow. And as it comes out, she and her two children were there and his parents when all of this happened. And taking the body back to Arizona, where I believe that's where they're going to have the service next week. President Trump has said he's going to attend that service. And I think we have this audio as well, this video as well, as the plane arrived back at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport. I have my dealings with Sky Harbor Airport in the past, but I got to tell you, this was.

classy. And this was the air traffic controller. As the plane comes in, you know, the planes, they, the air traffic controllers, they clear the planes coming in. And I thought, and I would audio, I don't, 29, yeah, go ahead and play this. This was, this is great. On the visual 26. South 1555 and a 15509, one two six. Clear line 26, off the list of six. Welcome home, Charlie. You didn't deserve it. May God bless your family. Supporters lined the streets. as his widow left the airport

and at one point she rolled down the window and you can imagine she, Potus had said in every she's, you know, that she's utterly devastated which was there any other expectation of what she would be? They were asking him, well, have you talked to the widow? He's like, well, of course she's

completely devastated. And as they were driving away from the airport, she briefly rolled down the window and waved a thank you to the supporters that were lining the streets. It's going to be very, very hard for her. And God love her, she's, what, late 20s and two children. Not only is it, it's not, I can't imagine what it's like to lose a spouse, being a young spouse, but with someone like Charlie who is so, and has gotten even larger in life, than life,

and having to navigate that publicly and knowing that the eyes of a nation are, on you and having to grieve publicly while also shepherding your small, the left, the, what's left of your small family, shepherding them through that process. And, you know, I know she's very good people around her, but that is very tough. That is a very tough thing to do. And especially knowing that the country is kind of like a tender box right now. And being very mindful of that, it's it is pray for her and pray for her family and his parents uh his parents were just kind of clinging to each other as the casket was being unloaded off the plane god loved them his whole family just some of the nicest people and so that's how yesterday concluded and there's been a lot of discussion in the

press about rhetoric we talked about that yesterday you had a lot of lawmakers start demanding gun control bizarrely and the media, not quite sure what the media's intention is. I think they need to take a page from the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. I can't believe him saying this. They held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk yesterday. Yesterday evening. They held a moment of silence. You had the Yankees that did it the day before. Last night with a full stadium, Green Bay Packers in the NFL held a moment of silence. And I feel like that's, I wish the legacy press was, was taking notes from them.

There have been some examples of good deeds and good reactions. However, I don't think that anybody is there at that point. And I don't blame you. I don't blame you. I don't blame you for being angry. You have every right to be anger. because you all have been through a lot. Look, we've been doing this for a long time.

And at some point in the industry, you get very used to the barbs. But you all don't do that. You all have your jobs, and you have your families, and you're taking your kids to football practice, and you're going to the grocery store, and you're trying to figure out whose house are we having Thanksgiving at this year. And you're dealing with all of these things, and it's just you have every right to be upset.

that because you've had your characters impugned. You have been attacked. You have been belittled. You have been kicked around. You have been literally called enemies by the previous president, who literally verbatim said that Republicans were an existential threat to the security of this nation. I'm not making that up. He said that. You have every right to be angry. And no one has the right to tell you how to feel about it, how to go about it, how to talk about it, how to talk about it. it, they have no right to tell you any of this. Some of my friends out there, oh, everybody, let's, I just shut up, shut up, because a lot of you've been cloistered in your little think tanks and you've never been down on the streets before. Don't need it. I think that's one of

the reasons why this is so, I don't know the word, believe it or not, I work in words, why it resonates so widely because so many people became active and for a lot of individuals who are not in the day-to-day grind who can't tell you who the deputy chief of staff is and I'm not saying that you need to I'm just saying you're not nerds

you go out and you touch grass you knew who Charlie Kirk was right you maybe don't know who the minority whip is in the house but you know who Charlie Kirk is that's why I think it resonates so broadly and because he was so bizarrely authentic. And I say bizarrely because this is an industry that rewards inauthenticity.

Because inauthenticity gets clicks. It does. I can't, I cannot, as someone who has stories to tell about so many people that you see on TV, he was literally the most morally consistent person, one of in this industry. And I think that you all picked up on that. And that's why it resonates so broadly. We're going to talk a little bit about this because I can tell that there's this burgeoning. I don't know how to put it cane.

Like there's hall monitors that are trying to police everyone on their reactions. And I think you need to ignore those people. We're going to talk more about this coming up. We, we're going to unpack a lot today. And one of the things, my goal today, I'm a little bit in a better place than I was yesterday. I think everyone's kind of processing. But the goal today is to leave you with something positive on which you can build your weekend and begin your next week. Because the fight goes on. The horrors persist and so must we. We have a lot. more on the way. As we move, 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 Pharmacies saved me on 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 an 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 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 sightsee. All family pharmacy makes your medications accessible.

While 73% of parents help them complete their work assignments, should this be a sure way to get fired? the watchdog on Wall Street podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So we're still following some of the latest developments with the apprehension now of the killer in Charlie Kirk's assassination. We'll bring you even more from that. In the meantime, Jerry Seinfeld compared the, quote, free, quote-unquote Palestine movement to the KKK. He's getting a lot of heat for it, but he's not wrong because it absolutely is like that. and I would advise you, I'm just going to not, and you should join me. I'm not using soft language on this anymore. It is.

It's a colonizing offshoot of the Klan. That's what it is. Angel Studios goes public. Interesting. Hollywood Reporter, because you guys know they have a lot of great movies over there. And full disclosure, they've also sponsored the program. They have gone public, and the Hollywood Reporter asks whether or not investors will buy into the entertainment business's faith-friendly outsider. I think that they will, because it makes money.

because people like it. They like being able to have that kind of option in terms of entertainment. There are now apparently AI-generated books on Charlie's assassination that are flooding Amazon. I was talking to our crew and Lorraine about this yesterday. She was saying that some of the titles could be swapped out later, but this is a problem. They're all AI-generated. They're all over Amazon now. And I don't know.

I find it ironic that this article was written by AI. Yeah. Yeah, very ironic. We have more on the way. The war with rhetoric. Stick with us. Gen Z's behavior in the workplace is staggering. 77% of Gen Z admitted to bring a parent to a job interview.

That's Cash Patel, who is really quiet at some of the other press conferences, but spoke out there. I'll see you in Valhalla. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. at the bottom of this first hour. Some were saying, some didn't think it was appropriate for him to say that.

Again, I'm going to tell you, just get off their ass about it. Just get off their ass. I'm so tired of these people who are up on their preening high horses trying to lecture everybody else about how to feel after watching someone get assassinated on live television. Just stop. Read the room. I just am done with this stuff. It makes me so aggravated. I mean, who the hell are you to sit here and tell people how to process what they just saw? Everybody's processing things differently. Everybody knew this guy. Just stop. We don't need that.

And stop telling me to unify with people. I've been out here. I don't want to make, I'm not making this by myself, but I'm telling you, and it's not just me. A lot of us have been out here busting our asses for a couple of decades. And we have taken some hits. We have had threats. We've had all this stuff.

I mean, hell, we had people try to break in our house. You know, some of us have had to move. We dealt with all of this. So no, you don't get to lecture us and tell us to unify with people who, who are cheering. What happened? You can't unify with some of these people. Case and point.

I noticed this. I don't even follow Broadway. I don't follow Broadway. I know who Kristen Chenoweth is because she was in that one Christmas movie with Danny DeVito. I don't remember what it was, but they had a Matthew Broderick,

Danny DeVito, and they had a Christmas light competition. They were just like petty neighbors. Anyway, it's not important. But the important thing that she said something very nice about Charlie Kirk on one of his videos. Kristen Chenoweth, like happy little Kristen Chenoweth, right? She was in, wasn't she in the Broadway version of Wicked or something like that?

Yeah. She said something very nice and was merely marking, she had to have known that a lot of people who like her were also fans of Charlie. Kirk and she just merely said something nice about him like it's so sad i mean i think that's completely normal to to to say how sad you think it is that someone like he was that he was just shut down simply for for debating and she was absolutely dragged in her comments i she said she was upset by his death and said that she now, she knows that he is now in heaven. She says, I'm so upset, didn't always agree, but appreciated some perspectives. What a heartbreak. His young family. I know where he is now,

heaven, but still. And then she had a breaking heart. And people were dragging her for this. What is wrong with you that you can't even express something like that? Well, I didn't like what they thought. Oh my gosh. I didn't realize that you were the ombudsman of death, that you were appointed the bouncer of determining who gets to live or die based on their views. You better pray to God that I'm never appointed to that position. Some of these people are so self-involved. Well, I just didn't like his views, so I can't. What does the matter with you? Chloe Kardashian, another example. Kane, this is turning me into the Daily Mail sidebar. Chloe Kardashian had had expressed sympathy for his family. Chloe Kardashian. And they started dragging her in the comments.

she was lambasted by fans, says headlines, for liking a Christian tribute to Charlie Kirk. She liked it. She didn't even say anything. She just liked it. And these people that have no lives, oh my gosh, I just saw Chloe Kardashian like this. I've got a riot.

And they win at her for this. We are not the same, y'all. We are not the same. And then you have this tranny cyclist. I don't know if you saw this. It's a transgender cyclist who apparently got very upset that people were expressing sympathy. I don't know why. That was so bad for Charlie Kirk and decided to say nasty things.

It's a Team USA cyclist, by the way. Why do we have a dude on the chicks team at Team USA? I don't know. It's a BMX cyclist. It's a dude. and the individual, this person, he calls himself Chelsea Wolfe. He was an alternate on the women's BMX team at the Tokyo Olympics in 21. He had above the USA Today headline of the murder, he had Adora the Explorer Giff on it,

and it said, we did it like he was celebrating it, this guy. And then he gave a thumbs up, called him a Nazi, all of a sudden. other stuff because Charlie Kirk did not, could not be forced into adopting this guy's fantastical perspective of his own life and genitals. Way to go and making us think you're even more mentally disturbed than we thought originally. We already know that you're struggling with gender dysphoria. It's a mental illness. I had a whole column over at the Washington Times talking about how Trump should not be using that blanketly as a blanket to go and disarm people. But people like this trainee who are on the women's team, BMX, you're not helping things by doing this kind of stuff

because you have to be mentally ill to have that kind of reaction to someone being shot in the neck in front of their family and their children and thousands of people watching. This is about dehumanization. I'm tired of hearing trainees and I'm, if you don't like my language, go to hell. Because I'm not, I'm, you had the nice guy. all of these people that are dehumanizing someone because they will not bend and share their fantasy perspective of gender. And you have the audacity to say it's dehumanizing because you cannot usurp someone's free will and force them to do what you want. You think that your

inability to force them through dehumanization. You think that that is dehumanizing. again, you have to be mentally ill to have that kind of circular logic. No, they had the nice guy. I don't feel in any way nice. I really want to be mean about this dude because he was so nasty. I mean, he looks like a skexies unmasked. Stop. Like I said, it's really, really hard to be a Christian during these times because you have understandable anger.

And people are saying, well, we got to unite. I watched this thing with Stephen King unfold on social media. I don't know if you saw this. he yesterday went out and said that Charlie Kirk repeatedly said that people should be stoned, that he said that gay should be stoned. That's what he said. And he advocated that stoning gays that that was just one of the things that he said. And that's not at all what Charlie Kirk had ever done.

In fact, there are all of these videos of him talking to gay conservatives. at these events. And they would say, well, how do you reconcile this? And he goes, well, he goes, I'm a Christian. He's like, so I don't agree with your lifestyle, but I'm also a conservative. And he says politically, we agree on the same things. He goes, most of the time, we agree on the majority of things. And he says, for that, welcome, welcome to the conservative movement.

And I thought that that was a really great response, completely opposite to what Stephen King had said. And so Stephen King was dragged all day yesterday. And then he couldn't just apologize. He said, I apologize for St. Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gaze. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry pick biblical passages. What? He wasn't cherry picking a biblical passage. He was merely stating exactly his belief, but then also he would welcome people to the conservative movement.

And I mean, I don't know. The whole thing is insane to me. And he like really wasn't apologizing. He kind of was, but he wasn't in his own way because he's so blinded by pride and ego. That's the other thing. If you are really searching for honest, genuine discussion and you are in the wrong, you don't double down on it. It's either about discerning truth. or it's not. And if it's not about discerning the truth, then what is the, what's the effort for?

And that was kind of Charlie's approach to this. He wanted to convert. I've always said that converting people is one less person you have to fight. It's true. He liked converting people and bringing them over. It's one less person you have to fight and it's one more person you have to fight them. but he did it very genuinely in the pursuit of truth and common ground. And he was incredibly effective at it. And that's what got him killed. He was very effective at it. If it's not about discerning that truth and what's the point?

And I look at people like Stephen King, you say that you are about the fact of the issue and that it is about discovering the truth of the matter. but when you are proven wrong on it, there's no room for ego. If your ego is hurt, if your feelings are hurt, then you are not in this for the right reasons. This is why the left gets so emotional over everything, and I don't want the right to turn into this. And that's something that even predates Charlie. The left gets so upset when proven wrong because it's not about the truth of the issue for them. It is about power for them.

and they take it very personally. When they are proven wrong on an issue, it is a diminishment of their power and influence, and they react emotionally. Because they are not in this for the same reason that you and I are in this for. They are in this for control. We don't want to control anyone

because I don't love anyone that much to control everyone. I'm sorry. I'm not Jesus. I follow him. I fall short. But you're the same way. Nobody wants to control anybody. We just want to be left alone and we want the truth of the issue, truth and logic way out. It's about power for them. It's about control for them.

And so Stephen King, he was mad that he was proven wrong. If you really, think about this, if you really loved the gays and you thought that someone advocated for stoning them to death. And then you find out that they didn't ever actually advocate for stoning them to death. Wouldn't you be happy about that? wouldn't you say instead Oh gay community This guy didn't want to stone you to death

Isn't that great? No, he was still mad He doesn't give a rat's ass About the gays He doesn't care about the truth of anything It's about ego power and control He was still mad That is why it's not an apology

He said then later Three hours after He goes, well okay I was wrong and I apologize I've deleted the post Fine, no qualifications I think Charlie would have accepted that. And here's the difference.

Charlie would have accepted it. And then Charlie would have invited Stephen King on his podcast to talk about it as a gesture of goodwill. Would Stephen King have done the same?

And they're celebrating it and we're laughing about it.

And this student recorded it. Why are we cheering for someone getting shot? Like, no matter what political beliefs are, we should not be cheering that someone got shot. He has a family. We do. I value everyone's beliefs, but we should not be cheering as a class that someone got shot.

He has a family. He has a family. He has a family. Yes, and who shot them? A transgender person. Yes. It doesn't matter. You should not be cheering that someone got shot.

What do you mean? Yes. They had all kinds of transgender stuff on the casing. She's not wrong on that aspect of it. Welcome back to the program. That's a student in North Texas. I think she should be given a scholarship. Absolutely.

Because she had the balls to speak out when she saw that egregiousness in her classroom. And she spoke out. Surely this girl can get a scholarship because she's obviously an independent critical thinker. And she obviously is courageous to be able to speak out in her classroom that way. And she was smart because she recorded it. And then she even had the wherewithal to flip the camera. around and go back and forth with it. I mean, you know, that's that's a lot of smarts and calm and a heated environment. That's impressive. That young woman is incredibly impressive. So I don't

know. I'm just thinking maybe TPSA might have another recruit there in Denton in North Texas. Hmm, we're going to follow that because I think our friend lawmaker, Texas rep, Brian Harrison, was posting about this as well after. But this is, you know, over a lot of people have been ask me, well, not been at, I mean, have asked me previously during the whole college thing. They're like, oh, well, you know, you know how it goes. Oh, where's your kid going? Where's your, and I usually think that college is a racket. Unless, you know, your kid gets scholarships, our kid got scholarships. Otherwise, he wouldn't be going where he's going. But with North Texas, that place has gotten super far left. That was, if you remember, that's the campus where I think

it was, they had a TPSA event. I don't think Charlie was there, but that, that's, That's where they protested against one of the speakers. And is that not the campus where, or one of the campus, I don't think it was Riley Gaines, but someone there had to kind of go into a janitorial closet to get away from the folks who got to rowdy during the Q&A. Yeah. Yeah, that's up in North Texas.

You know, they have an alphabet studies minor. You can minor in LGBTQ studies. What is that even? What is that even? We're like making up things. And what are you going to do with that degree? Teach that course later? I mean, stick with the second hour on the way.

A free and democratic society, which is what America is supposed to be about, depends upon the basic premise that people can speak out, organize, and take part in public life without fear, without worrying that they might be killed, injured, or humiliated for expressing their political views. In fact, that is the essence

of what freedom is about and what democracy is about. You have a point of view? That's great. I have a point of view that is different than yours. That's great. Let's argue it out.

We make our case to the American people at the local, state, and federal levels, and we hold free elections in which the people decide what they want. That's called freedom and democracy. And I want as many people as possible to participate in that process without fear. Freedom and democracy is not about political violence.

It is not about assassinating public officials. It is not about trying to intimidate people who speak out on an issue. Political violence, in fact, is political cowardice. So first off, welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you, top of the second hour. Channel 347 is the stream of the radio program, the chats at Rumble. That was Bernie Sanders with a B. Bernie, Sanders, saying those things.

Kane, he, why couldn't he, you literally were typing as I was thinking. the exact same thing. Yeah. I mean, I would have appreciated those sentiments the first time somebody tried to shoot Trump would appreciate them after the attempted assassination of lawmakers at the ball fields. You know, I don't want to say too little too late, but at least somebody said it. Good heavens. He is a socialist.

And yet, is it just because he's old? He's like, oh, my gosh, these people are going to drag this whole thing off a cliff? I don't know. But it is pretty amazing. Sometimes the people you least expect at least one time get it correct. I don't know if you've seen this. This is the big debate today. The very big debate today.

And I think it first came. Let me pull this up. I think it was Rolling Stone that first did this. Here's the headline. People are losing their jobs for criticizing slain free speech advocate Charlie Kirk. Journalists, publicist, college faculty have been fired

after calling him a divisive figure and making light of his assassination. Okay, that's not even an accurate headline. If you're going to say stuff like this, have the balls, to be honest about it. You absolute cowardly rat bastards in the press. People don't hate you enough. They don't even have the courage

to state exactly what's been happening. I would imagine that teachers, for instance, recording themselves, gleefully celebrating someone's death, someone's murder in a ghoulish fashion, be accurate about it. Describe fully. Make sure you quote these teachers and these people that are getting fired by their employers because they say things into the camera with their own mouths like, I'm glad he got shot, or I'm glad he was killed, or I wish that I was the one that did it. because that's what they're saying.

That's why they're getting fired. Their employers are like, holy hell, no way. We don't want to, no. Now they look at it and they're like, these people are nuts. We don't want them on our campuses. I mean, these people, this is what the right does. The right's like, okay, good morning. I'm going to log into my totally anonymous X account and say things like,

I disagree with Illinois. And then the left is like, yeah, I'm a teacher. I'm Miss Karen Karen, the teacher at, you know, Joe Blow Elementary, and I'm just going to record myself saying, I'm so glad that Charlie Kirk is dead. Do you see the difference? It's not cancel culture. It's called accountability.

No one told these employers to fire these people. The employers were like, oh, you were dumb enough to actually, these people are using social media accounts that have their job titles in it. Their full names, their job titles. on pages where they talk about their employer. That's not cancel culture. Most people sign a contract stating upon employment that they're not going to embarrass their employer.

That's actually insubordination and a violation of their contractual obligation. So it's technically not even remotely cancel culture. But I don't care if it is right now. Do you know why? Because, hey, these are y'all's rules. Oh, wait a minute. The left is suddenly upset about play.

playing their own rules? I'm very familiar with their cancel culture game. They invented it. They've tried to cancel me and a million other people. These are your rules left. You guys created this game. You bought the ticket. Now take the ride. That's what this is. No, it's not cancel culture. These are people, like I said, I'm not going to play all of it because it'll just get you guys so upset. And I feel like right now, everybody kind of needs just to process the grieving part of this, all of this horribleness. But you have people who are, they're out there themselves using their names. They're doctors. Guys, they're pilots. You know, one of them was an American Airlines pilot? Okay, first off, number one. How are you a pilot?

using your name and then underneath your name on your social media account, it literally says pilot with American Airlines. And on your social media account, you have photos and posts about your job that couch the whole, I wish Charlie Kirk was dead, the horrible stuff that you say. There was, I mean, literally a guy like legit celebrating the death, like gleefully recording himself celebrating it. And then you're, you know why they, you get fired if you're a pilot and you do that? that who the hell wants to fly on a plane with that guy piloting it? Kane, would you want to fly on a plane with that dude piloting it? No.

No. There's a lot of the left that are suicidal. I don't want him in charge of my plane. Hell, he might be like, wait a minute, there's a million Charlie Kirk's on this plane. I'm going to drive it into a mountain. Right. I mean, it's a terrifying concept. Or teachers.

There were, okay, so a handful, and actually more than that, of teachers. teachers, elementary school, junior high, etc. Some of them were recording themselves in their classrooms. Recording themselves in their classrooms saying, I wish I could have done it, or I'm so glad he's dad, blah, blah, blah, or laughing or making fun of what happened. There was a woman who was doing choreography of the blood that was spilled. That's all I'm going to say. And then they have on their, they're using their name, their social media account that

says employed at the school. not even kidding. There's screenshots of this that exist. This is not being made up. And then they're like, wow, I can't believe I was fired. Because the school looks at someone who is teaching young children that is celebrating joyfully murder. I would not want anyone who does that to be teaching my children or any children. Do you? So no, this is not cancel culture. Rolling Stone acts like all these people. on the ride are out there just like trying to uncover these anonymous accounts. These are not anonymous accounts, guys. These are idiots. Like it's our lips of TikTok literally just repost stuff that's on TikTok. This is the same thing. You post it. Again, you bought the ticket. Now take the ride. That's what this is. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors. You literally have a dean of a university who got in trouble for this. You, I mean, I'm looking at this list. There was a teacher, Benjamin Filio, who was fired at Barrington School.

And he was on TikTok, literally has his name, teacher at Barrington School, even has the handle of the school in his bio. And he's doing this stuff. Then he's like, I can't believe I got fired. When you, again, when you sign a contract to go and work, if you're a teacher, you sign these contracts. You sign contracts like this. you also agree to not make remarks like this that bring any any repute ill repute upon the school there was a college professor lisa greenlee greensboro north carolina community college she recorded herself literally she says i am an english professor currently working at the greensboro uh north carolina community college in jamestown and has her name she records herself saying, quote, I'll praise the shooter. He had good name. He had good aim. She records herself saying this and puts it out on the account that literally says, quote, I am an English professor currently working at GTCC in Jamestown. You're surprised that the school is going to fire you? You guys are turning me into like a feminized Sam Kinnison here. Chimony Christmas. Oh my gosh. Yeah, listen to this.

Do we really want to play this? It's so, I'm trying so hard. I think people have to hear what the left does. Okay. Prayers and thoughts for Charlie, no. No, I have no prayers and thought for him left from all my prayers and thoughts for these innocent children who did nothing wrong. We're not setting out divisive, painful messages. We're not saying empathy is a problem with America.

I refer to him as the anti-emnity guy. I will type his name. I'm not going to be able to listen to be much more. I'm going to be honest. Yeah. I was going to make sure that y'all had heard about. There's also, I mean, I have like so many, there's so many examples here because, I mean,

they're all over the internet. So mostly peaceful means had one. This is at Greenville County Schools, Jiminy Christmas. So this guy, he's on Facebook using his name. on Facebook and he posts thoughts and prayers to his children but in my opinion America became greater today there I said it on his Facebook profile it has his name

and his profession and where he works I can't believe I was fired my gosh what would happen if I went yeah I'm a radio host at Radio America and Dana Lash and I went out and I posted you know celebrating which would never happen somebody on the left getting killed. I mean, nobody on the right does that. No, but just for the purpose of argument, for illustration, would Radio America then be within their right? Because I'm like, I have all the identifiers up there.

And what if I recorded myself sitting here doing it? Yeah, they would absolutely have every legal recourse to react that way and to terminate employment. We could both scream freedom speech and First Amendment, but this isn't that. Yeah, exactly. people I really feel like people on the left have no idea what the hell freedom of speech means. I mean, clearly because they're shooting people in the neck for it. They have no idea what free speech means. You also have to have my opinion. If everybody has my opinion, then it's free speech. That's what the left thinks. That's how they operate. It's just asinine. No, this is, I mean, think about this stuff. Like the Oxford Union president celebrated his death. The Oxford Union president who shows up to debate wearing ugs and sweatpants. I'm sorry. You're a pathetic loser who only is there because of DEI. It was just them trying to look like they're

honestly that's the reason why he's there because I've heard this guy debate and I'm like this guy could not argue his way out of a paper bag. What the hell? And he shows up looking like a slob that just rolled off of the couch in his mom's basement and he was celebrating the assassination. No, they don't believe in

free speech because to them free speech means you believe in their opinion too. That's the only free speech that counts. We have more on the way as we roll towards the bottom of the second hour, our partners who make it possible, the folks over at Relief Factor, if you want help with aches and pains, check out Relief Factor, because Relief Factor combines a bunch of really great ingredients like turmeric, Resveratrol, and more to help combat inflammation.

Housing costs, dur, are squeezing owners and run. alike outpacing inflation. Housing costs have risen faster than inflation last year for renters and owners, according to Nus Census Bureau of data that paints a vivid picture of the growing financial burden of finding and affording a home in the U.S. They say the median monthly cost of owning a home, which includes mortgage insurance, insurance, taxes, et cetera, is over $2,000, adjusting for inflation. So the year prior was about $1,960. Now it's 2035. So it's increasing. Let's see.

Apparently more young people, more men, and more Republicans own cryptocurrency. This is like an NBC news piece that I didn't need because I knew this. I mean, if you had a guess, what do you think has the most cryptocurrency? Young people, dudes, and Republicans? Yes, that is correct. That's how uninformed their audience is. That's like an article that should be five years old, 10 years old, really, for being honest about it. Let's see here.

E-bike mayhem. You know what? That sounds like a band of Muppets. E-bike mayhem in London. As the strike shuts down the tube, they're calling them strike lists. They're comparing the commutes to the Tour de France, and they've got less than professional competition.

They said it's a great week to be the CEO of Lyme. Everybody has to get on an e-bike. And I don't like bikes. I've only met, like, sorry bicyclists, but I've only met like three of you that have actually been really legit. everyone else is a male copulatory organ, even the women, you all are. I've seen them almost cause, I've seen one cause a wreck in a roundabout. I've seen people literally like disregard the rules of

the road. They want to drive on the road like cars, but then they, it's just insane. I've only seen like a handful of them that are nice. Can you imagine having to live in London during the tube strike and everybody has to ride a bike? You can't get anywhere unless you're going to, it is sheer mayhem. And apparently, they're learning how people don't actually. understand the rules of the road at all in London. These people drive cars, but then you put them on the bicycle and they're like, oh my gosh, I'm just going to ride out in the middle of traffic. We got more on the way. Stick with us. Our partners that help bring you the program, it is the folks at preborn. Preborn does so much to save lives and help women who are expecting and help with the creation of

their families and legacies and make sure that, you know, they're making these decisions not based in fear. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, over 100 abortion clinics have shut down, but that's not the good news. In fact, it kind of has gotten worse. The abortion pill has taken its place and now accounts for more than 60% of all abortions, but there's hope. Preborn is rescuing lives, about 200 babies a day by simply loving mothers, meeting them where they are and showing them their child through an ultrasound. And when a mother sees her baby for the first time and hears that heartbeat, that baby's chance at life doubles. This has been studied. $28 can save a life. I mean, that's less than the cost of a dinner out. You're literally giving a mother and a baby a chance at life.

This is amazing. And so pre-born has been doing this. They've been going to the most besieged areas of the United States and trying to help. If you have the means, please consider a gift. Again, $28 is one ultrasound. You can get more ultrasounds. A tax-deductible donation of $15,000 places an ultrasound machine in a needy women's center. Think about how many lives that saves for your son.

Out front next, the breaking news, a frantic manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killer, nearly 30 hours on the run. How did the shooter make a getaway? There are new clues tonight, big developments in the manhunt as we understand it at this moment,

and an eyewitness who asked Kirk a question moments before he was shot and killed joins us. What he saw and heard in those seconds leading up to the murder. And warning, it's about to get a lot worse in this country. That is a chilling threat from some of MAGA's youngest and most passionate. members tonight. Are you serious? Let's go out front. Seriously, Aaron Burnett over at CNN. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. So, wait a minute. CNN's, they're worried about chilling threats from the young

MAGA Americans. What? Okay, sure, Jan. Really? I've... What are you talking about? What could possibly be worse than shooting and killing Kirk in the manner that... I mean, for Christ. trying out loud, you're not going to turn around and make yourselves the victims on this. Also, as Kay noted, the left thinks that the right is going to retaliate the way that the left does, because that's what the left does. This is why I caution people, please dear heavens, do not push people who choose to be peaceful. They choose peace. They are capable of great

violence. But they choose peace. Do not push. Do not push. them to not have that option. The left reacts violently to literally everything. Everything. I mean, for crying out loud, they tried setting a church. Well, they did set a church on fire in D.C. They've reacted violent. That's all they know. They react violently because it's all they know how to do. And so they're sitting back like, oh my gosh, what did we do? The right doesn't react that way. Now, I'm not saying that that could ever change. And I do think that the right needs to be more aggressive. But the right doesn't think or act like the left does.

I got to tell you on Facebook, my personal page I have locked down to just a handful of people. And one of the people that I'm friends with on there, I've known for 15 years now, probably longer. is far left, leftist. We do not think the same on probably 98% of things. But they have never made my political beliefs a prerequisite for friendship. And I don't do the same so long as you don't want to disarm me and you don't believe in like killing people, right? I can, I'm actually pretty, I can get along with a lot of people, but I do have some lines. And I was watching as a lot of my political friends that I have become very close to.

When you, when you're forged in the fire with people, that relationship takes on a lot of new meanings. And a lot of us have gotten to know each other and have been through crazy things. And, you know, we, and like Charlie, gotten to know him. and you know, you go through things with people and you, you look at them as more than just a fellow commentator or a fellow activist or you really get to know them and you know that they kind of have your back. It's hard to explain. And my heart sank a little bit because I was watching one of my friends,

I watched it play out on social media. One of my friends thought that she had a friend in a moderate, and the moderate was taking great exception to her saying that it was on the left, etc. And then the moderate just went at her. It's somebody I don't like, but they just went at her. And she ended up having to, I mean, very publicly, like the relationship ended. And that's not, I mean, I literally saw that play out with a lot of people in the past 24 to 48 hours. And a lot of my friends are lamenting the fact that they feel like they lost friends and family in their private lives because of their beliefs and their work in politics.

And then they were losing professional associations with people because of their righteous rage over what happened with Kirk. And my friend, who is very left, I'd shared something on Facebook. I'd shared a, even on my private page, I always obscure my kids' faces. And now everybody, and that's why you see a lot of people don't post their kids' faces online because stuff like this that work in media, that work in conservative media. And I posted a picture of one of my kids with Charlie when he came to town for a student rally. This was ahead of the 2020 elections and came to our town for that purpose for a student rally. And my son went and Charlie invited him to bring his friends because he had met him at a different thing. He said, bring your friends, et cetera.

And hooked him up with hats and signs and t-shirts. and all this stuff, and they thought it was just the greatest thing ever. It was so nice to them and spent so much time going around talking to all of the students in my town, like actually talking with them and going out and meeting with them. And I'm sure it made his security team absolutely nervous. And I watched one of his detail. And he was very close behind Charlie, watching everybody. And Charlie just wanted that.

He wanted to make those connections because he understood the power of retail politics. You know, when you meet people where they are and you talk to them, it's very hard to hate him when you meet him. He's one of those people. He's so nice and so friendly. And came and met with them. And I posted this photo on my Facebook page, my private one, and I obscured my kids in their friends' faces. And my friend who is on the left, very far left, someone that I probably, if we were not friends, I maybe would be at their throat if they were in politics, had said, I am so sorry that this happened to him and his family. and I'm so sorry that the youth that looked up to him have to see this play out like this nationally.

This should have never happened. I am so sick over it. I'm so sorry. And that's all they said. And I couldn't love it enough. Because they are literally the only person on the left that I know anymore who, doesn't strip the humanity away from people with whom they disagree politically. And I really disagree with them.

We're really, really badly on things, on trans issues, so many things. But they absolutely refuse to strip the humanity away from the people with whom they disagree politically. I used to say, I used to actually believe that that wasn't, that that was more common than not on the left. And I don't anymore. That, I don't see that anymore. She's literally, I wasn't going to identify. This is literally the only person I know on the left now that's like that. And very far left. But I've seen actually go at people for trying to strip me of my humanity in other debates that they would have. And that's, I think what was so powerful about what he did.

If you've never watched any of his debates that he did, he had a really, the other thing that really shocked me is he really, and he and I've debated on stuff before. We've debated on, you know, John Locke, and we've debated on, debated on social contracts and the idea of paying women to have kids and all this stuff.

And we, and he was always, like, very sweet. And that's, he was, would go to these college campuses And you have to think all of this stuff is happening in academia. All of these college kids, this is what they're getting from their professors, 24-7. This is what they're getting from their student life, 24-7. It's what they're getting from entertainment, 24-7, everything.

Social media, algorithms, 24-7. And he comes there and completely destroys that narrative of what he, what a conservative, what a constitutionalist, how they believe in what they're supposed to be like. completely flips it on on their head. There was a guy who was there. Audio sound bite 28. I want you to listen to this.

This was the guy that Charlie Kirk was talking to when he was shot. And this young man speaks out about it. Listen. This is 28. The point that I was trying to make is how peaceful the left was

right before he got shot. And that that only makes sense if we stay peaceful. And as much as I disagree with Charlie Kirk, I'm on the record for how much I disagree with Charlie Kirk. But like, man, dude, he is still a human being. Have we forgotten that? Are we crazy?

He's trying to understand and trying to process what his side. And it is true. And I, this is just how it is, how his side believes that, how they try to just, their cruelty. If you've noticed the left at some point, I really don't know when this was. I was thinking about this. And I actually asked a very good friend of mine who works in philosophy and is very, very old

school, conservative and a constitutionalist. And they don't really do social media. I think they have like one Instagram account that they post on maybe once or twice a year, like on World War, like on D-Day stuff. That's it. Very old school. And I had asked, I said, at what point? did the left pivot away or am i or do we just not or has it never been that way and i'm just

romanticizing youth at what point did the left pivot away from being the proclaimed party of intelligence and intellectualism and uh insightfulness and and enlightenment and turn into this, using these very barbaric tactics of stripping people of their humanity to justify cruelty as a substitute for a counterpoint. Like, what was the, you know, another way to put it, the turning point for that? And my friend, this philosopher who, you know, teaches, was a philosophy professor and also,

constitutionalist said it's didn't really know that it's been happening for for some time and that the real push began in the 60s and that at some point was expedited in the late 90s early odds but said that's what I'm going to have to think about because it's true think about it wasn't that the part I mean when I grew up, the Republican Party in conservatism was the party of, was the, they were like the old nerds and they didn't know a lot, right? Isn't that kind of how it was all, it was always the left that was presented as the Enlightenment crowd? And now the left is very barbarically, and I don't have any other word to say, and I'm not putting down the Puritans, but they're very barbarically

puritanical in ideology and application of that ideology. and they are literally embracing illiberalism and stupidity. And as a way to debate, they first have to dehumanize their opponent so that they can then justify, whether it's, you know, ad hominem or whatever, as a way to, as some kind of substitute for being informed. think about it when did that happen when did that fully take effect but to watch this young man say i was you know trying to make the point about how peaceful the left was and he's like that only works if we're peaceful that that is he's different now obviously you can't live there's something like that and not be so but i think he just realized in that video the truth

truth that he really isn't on the left. And he realizes now that any mooring he may have had on the left, well, what really was it? Because he doesn't believe in dehumanization. So why is he still there? You can just see so many things happening in his mind all at once. And I think that the consequence of that is still yet to come. The results of this, obviously. It's going to be very interesting to see in five years' time the intellect and the approach of Gen Z. and Janalfa. We have more on the way as we roll towards Florida man. Burn a gun is, it's a great option to diversify your weapons array, and it's great, I think, for college kids that are going to be living on their own. And also, they want to be able to protect themselves, but they can't, you know,

for whatever, they can't own a gun because that's, you know, you get federal law, but also for people who, you know, are over the age of 21, who may be because of local, municipal, private property restrictions, whatever, they are disarmed, and that makes it kind of dangerous when you consider the crime rate as of late. This is where Berna comes in. It's a great way to diversify your weapons array. You have different calibers. You carry blades. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. And when you look at regular stun guns, you only have one or two shots with those with Berna, with the CL particularly, which is their pistol, that's their smallest version. The CL stands for a compact launcher. That has 15 round shot

capacity per cartridge. So you're not losing any of the deterrent power. You're not losing anything. The SD is their most popular model. The CL, which is newer, is the smaller version of that. These are legal in all 50 states. There's no permit required. There's no background check. There's no waiting period. There's no fee other than the price of it, which is super affordable and can be sent right to your door. So it's accessible for everybody. Check it out. It's the CL stands for compact launcher at berna.com slash Dana. That's B. B.R.NA.com. Dana, burn already when you are. It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

It's time for Florida Man. All right. So, gosh. This is like probably going to be the sanest part of the week as Florida Man, honestly. So this guy, I really want to do the bulldozer first. Because bulldozers are just funny. And I always think of the killdozer, you know. This is from Motor Biscuit.

Florida men use a bulldozer and a rifle to bully two people camped near private property. So they were not apparently brandishing, but they did use the bulldozer. So three men used a bulldozer. They were trying to evict two homeless campers. And they showed up at a campsite near the Deland Florida property. And they didn't start small. They immediately started with literally a bulldozer. they were driving it at the time and they said they needed to mow the camp down.

Nobody was injured, but authorities still arrested the bulldozer guy. But wait a minute, if it's like your private property, if he wasn't on his property, obviously that's one thing. But yeah, I mean. They said they were near it. Also, I wouldn't, would you want homeless people putting up? I mean, it's. Is it redundant to say homeless campers? Yeah, because that's why I don't like camping.

Why would you say homeless campers? campers. They were just, okay, I'm sorry, this is now the segment. Why would you say homeless campers? Because it's the same thing. This is why I don't like camping. We invented the house and lights and running water. So if I, I'm not going to pretend to be homeless. I'm just not.

I want you to look at how Utahans reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting, there was no looting, there were no cars set on fire, there's no violence, there were vigils and prayers and people coming together to share the humanity. And that, ladies and gentlemen, I believe is the answer to this. We can return violence with violence, we can return hate with hate. and that's the problem with political violence is it metastasizes. He is correct. Utah Governor Spencer Cox is absolutely correct with that.

Welcome back to the program. Top of our third hour. And he is, I mean, you didn't see riots. You didn't see any of that. And this was a very innocent person with no history of anything. He didn't hold a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach like George Floyd did. There was none of that in his history. Very big difference between the right and the left on this.

I've noticed some people being very critical of Cash Patel and the way or the manner in which the suspect was apprehended. And some are saying, well, you know, it was really the dad that did it. And then the pastor, because he went to the pastor to to ask. for help in the pastor alerted law enforcement. It was, you know, it's really those two who did it. I, I actually kind of disagree with that. I think that it got to that point because of, and you guys know I'm very, I'm very critical. I've been very critical of FBI as of late because of all of the stuff with the collusion and the, uh, uh, uh, struck and page case and all of that. they worked with local law enforcement and they established the conditions, the environment

that created that result. That's what they have to do in order to apprehend lawbreakers. And within 48 hours, I think that that, and they've been, they were very transparent about everything. And this is something that I don't think that they're getting enough credit for in this instance. Because previously, my gosh, Kane, you know this. The Nashville killer. They were hiding everything about that. The first Trump assassination attempt, there's still stuff we don't know about this dude. The second, I can go on and on.

They were very, very transparent from the get-go. We have this guy in custody. We're questioning him. We've released him from custody. We've taken this guy into custody. We've questioned him as a suspect. We've released him from custody. They have been incredibly transparent. They have updated everybody all along the way, the entire process. They released some images of the individual, the killer that they finally apprehended. But they didn't release everything because they wanted to. to make sure they had they could they were releasing just enough but they wanted to keep things so that they were could continue the investigation without an eruption and do it swiftly and that's what happened. I think that it was also very obvious that they were cooperating and really utilizing everything local law enforcement could give them and it felt like that cooperation was very transparent and very beneficial and helpful. They, I think, of all of these instances, this was perhaps the most transparent thing we've seen from them in a long time.

So I'm not going to be critical of that because I feel as though 48 hours and they got the guy and it was chaotic and they were able to secure the grounds and collect evidence and question everyone they needed to question. I think that that's impressive. People have been going at Cash Patel because I guess he didn't personally. run down the guy and get him. But again, FBI and local law enforcement literally created. They set the conditions that made the capture of this guy possible. He had nowhere else to go. He confessed to his dad because he had nowhere else to go. Law enforcement, they made that impossible. Those were the conditions that they created. That's how it works. So I feel that there's a little bit of undue criticism from a lot of keyboard jockeys about this.

And, you know, Cash Patel's been on the show before. I've met him several times. I feel like he was very, he very much wanted to, very, as we all did, get this guy. He's being criticized because he said to Valhalla. That's just something that people say. I don't care how it started. I don't care if it's new. I don't care if it's from the show Vikings or not.

I don't care. I just need everyone to get off their high horses. STFU. Just stop. Let people do things in their own way. People got to remember everybody knew, Kirk. Everybody, Cash Patel did too before he was ever at FBI. Unless you've been in this position where you're having to do this job, you're having to do the job nationally, do your job, you're hunting not a bad guy, you've got a grieving family, grieving widow, it's all very public, and it's pushing the nation on the edge of a knife. Unless you've been there, don't criticize it. So, I don't know. Am I being too

uncharacteristically graceful, Kane? No. No, I think this instance, I mean, like you said, we knew him. And everybody... Well, I mean, with the FBI in the way, I mean, it seems like that, you know, they got the guy and people are mad, I guess, because they think that because the dad held him and then told the pastor that that's somehow a reflection upon cash Patel. I don't get that.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Obviously, like you said, they've been very transparent. This is something that we, in the... the media love to see because we typically don't see this kind of transparency in other democratic administrations. We just don't. Right. Right. So I don't know. I mean, they said that, I don't know if they said that they had the guy. Because I know Lorraine says, oh, he messed up because he, you know, they said they had the guy when they didn't. I don't know if he, I think other people said that he had the guy. I know that they said they had a person in custody.

That was one of the things I had retweeted. I think everybody. else kind of filled in the blanks from that. But I don't, I don't know. I, I think they were just being completely transparent about everything because of a total lack of transparency. I also saw this. So this is over, this came from the right angle news network. Have you guys heard of Hassan Piker? So the left is trying to make him there, Joe Rogan. He is a raging anti-Semitic, I can't say what I want to say. He's basically a sentient turd who got lucky and he's a YouTuber. Politico did a whole piece on him about how the assassination is affecting him.

Because the media is trying to make the people who literally have fomented violence into the victims. There are all of these videos now of him out there literally calling for his viewers apparently to kill right wingers. I mean, this is crazy. And it was on Twitch. This was all on Twitch. So when is Twitch going to react to this stuff? When are they going to take action against some of this? Because they go after people who don't do anything, but then they allow this stuff from people like Hassan Piker. So there are apparently numerous clips of him calling on people to kill right wingers. And they're all going viral now. Some of these older clips are going viral. See, this is, and that's like another thing.

On YouTube, or actually even on Twitch, you, if you are basically a common sense person, or if you are not a leftist, it's like you're, you're punished for it. But, and you get your videos, I mean, you're suppressed or removed, etc. But then this guy, I don't even want to play this stuff on. I'm just seeing this. I don't want to play any of these videos. I mean, it's just, it's truly, this is bad. It's just bad.

It looks bad. All these clips of him. I don't know. You're familiar with this guy. They left desperately once a Joe Rogan, and they think this guy's going to be their Joe Rogan. But isn't Joe Rogan on the left anyway? I wasn't familiar with him until I saw yesterday for the first time.

Yeah. And based on what clips are certain. and what I could see online immediately. This guy is just vile. It's self-hatred projected out, and everyone that also self-hates agree with this guy. Yeah. Yeah.

That's why I'm just like, I just don't think that with some of these people, you just can't, there's no unity with people like that. There's, you know, and the other thing, so here's another thing with the, I'm pulling this up to, forgive me,

the information that they released earlier today. about the stuff that was inscribed on the casings. And he had, it was upright down, down, down, which is the code. If you don't play helldivers, you know, at one point, you can call down like different bombs or different things when you're battling aliens. And, you know, it's a great game. And apparently that was written on one of the. shell casings that was carved into one of the shell casings that code and that's the it's what you what

you press to call down that stratagem right and i don't think i actually have like you know godlove and one of my kids who's saying well i don't know if i want to play hell divers now until that's you know the devs have to disown it but it's not the devs fault it's not the developers fault it's not hell divers too fault that's someone misused it that's like saying i can't use a firearm because a criminal used a firearm. Well, it's not the firearms fault. It's not the law abiding's fault. It's the fault of the criminal.

And they didn't, it's not something that was utilized for actual murder. It was, again, I just think we're going to be real careful with this stuff. They didn't have anything to do with it. And only a tiny fraction of people are even going to know what that means. Anyway. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right. So, we're going to have a double other segment here coming up about this stuff on break. All right. So first up, I want to talk about emotional support alligators because they think they're very important to society. I'm not kidding you. So this is in Pennsylvania, a Western Pennsylvania man and his emotional support alligator. They took a shopping cart spin around the local Walmart. And he says they never had a problem. But then Walmart confirmed that they told him to stay away on Thursday.

Silva. He's 60 years old and he's a five foot long 32 pound. I can't say this thing's name. Alligator name Jen Siochi. They made the local news after they went to Walmart and he was pushing his gator around in a shopping cart and she was in a dress. Oh my gosh. It's in a sweater with fur trim on this photo. Anyway, he goes, we've been going to Walmart for like four years and he goes, everything's always fine. And he said that, you know, she never, she never, you know, gets out of the cart, she just sits there. It's all she does. And he says he got the alligator from a neighbor who couldn't care for

it anymore. And usually Jen Siyoshi spends her days in a pool outside and nights in a bathtub of water. And so he's a pastor and he was like, he just didn't understand why they wouldn't let, I don't, if it's not bothering anybody. It's

not, it's sitting in the cart sitting there. It's a happy little fat gator sitting in the cart in a dress, getting pushed around by this dude. Just getting his snacks and his everyday necessities. That's all that's happening here. I mean, can't a man just take his emotional support alligator to Walmart anymore? I mean, what is happening in this country?

Now I want one. They look hysterical dressed up. I know they don't like it, but still. Cornell students were found skinning a bear carcass in a campus residence hall. What is happening on college campuses? The Department of Conservation, they got a call. They had to go. literally pick

up a bear. Two students apparently killed a young black bear brought the animal to their dorm and then they were skinning the carcass

and packaging the meat and then other residents started complaining no charges have been filed I mean were they it was about the size of a large dog I don't think you should be

taking juvenile bears sorry but that's your first mistake as you know you don't take a juvenile like that it's my opinion but they said that they had valid

hunting licenses and it was lawfully harvester So, you know, it's like, you know, you wouldn't shoot a fawn, you know what I'm saying? I don't know. I just have thoughts on that. But otherwise, it just seemed, apparently their code of conduct does not have any rules about transporting what you've harvested from nature or process. I just find it hysterical because, you know, these dudes were like, but it ain't illegal, you know.

Are you going to make sausage out of it? Like, I'm just curious as to, like, what the culinary delights are going to. What's going to come from that? Two men are wanted after a Humpty Dumpty statue was stolen at a Jersey Shore golf course. This is very particular. They were caught on CCTV taking the Humpty Dumpty statue. And they are wanted. They said that once they gave the, they even gave that clothing of Humpty Dumpty and the Ebola, which is funny.

It was taken from Ocean Putt miniature golf. And it was taken early Sunday. They took that Humpty Dumpty statue. Let's see. Got a couple of other things, including a mother who was ordered to remove a statue attached to her house by the city council. But we have more to come. Stick with us. Make some common sense of the crazy headlines with the Dana Show podcast.

You're on the go guide for getting up to speed on today's most important stories. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform. What I do know for sure is that, you know, Charlie was someone who once said, you know, guns saved lives after a school shooting. Charlie was someone who was willing to debate and downplay the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police. I think he called him a scumbag. Right.

Have no regard. Downplay slavery and what black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteen should never exist. She's a grievance thing. And I think, you know, there are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate. A complete rewriting of history. Yeah. There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded.

I want to pull her head covering the rest over her face because I'm so tired of seeing her dumbass mouth on television. Don't expect me to unify with these people. I've got two fingers on each fist for that. Not going to happen. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. First off, George Floyd was an ignorant piece of thug trash who was on drugs, who was going to shoot a pregnant woman in her belly. But brother marrying incest, you know, practitioners like Illinois Omar won't acknowledge that. And that's absolutely true. I'm not going to take lectures from someone who bangs her brother. So pound sand. So George Floyd was an absolute thug piece of trash. He was on drugs, right? He had been in trouble so many times with law enforcement. And again, had previously been in trouble because he held a loaded gun and pointed it right at a pregnant woman's stomach. This is all very well documented. People who want to remove their heads from their asses can go online and they can look all of this stuff up.

It's all right there on the internet cane. It's magical. She just hated Charlie Kirk and wanted him dead because he's white. a racist. That's the truth of the matter. And let's be honest about it. And the only reason that Medi Hassan is even entertaining it is because he also thinks the same thing. That's the truth of it. She's a race hustler. She wouldn't have gotten her elected position had the United States not lifted her up from the hellhole that she came from. End of story. And she's only there because Little Mogadishu keeps voting her into office. And that's also demographically accurate.

it. End of. She's part of the problem. And she got mad because people called her out for saying these nasty things. They're both acting like somehow he deserved it because he simply disagreed with them. And he did it with more class than I ever could, more class than they've ever demonstrated in their remarks about disagreeing with him. Oh, but George Floyd, George Floyd, George Floyd got George Floyd killed. I'm so tired of this. Everybody wants to wants to pick a thug to make a martyr out of. Where the hell are these people, though, for Dexter Taylor who's sitting in Rikers? Spare me. They don't give a rat's ass about black lives unless it's black lives that they can use advantageously for their own Marxist agendas.

And that's how it's always ever been. Oh, they care so much, but Dexter Taylor and innocent man sitting in Rikers right now. You think Illinois Marr's ever made his name with her mouth? No. No, Otis McDonald. Think any of them ever went to go help Otis McDonald when he was fighting to be able to carry a gun in his Chicago neighborhood? Because thugs were out busting into the houses of his neighbors and threatening law and order on his street. And he had to fight and take Lisa Madigan and the whole Cook County crime structure to court where he won. Do you think any of those people ever said Otis McDonald's name with their mouths? Hell no.

they ignore the heroes who are peaceful. They ignore the fathers and the community members and the real natural, not civil, natural rights heroes in favor of gutter trash like George Floyd. In favor of gutter trash like Mike Brown. I mean, and remember, the people on the jury who were from Mike Brown's own neighborhood voted to exonerate Darren Wilson for a reason. No, they're not there. Do you think that Omar and any of them are going to intervene for Taylor? No, they're not going to do that. Why?

Because Dexter Taylor isn't the sort of black American that benefits their agenda of control. That's why. There's no qualifications for this. You either think it's bad or you don't, end of. End of. Audio sound bite 22. AOC. Another one I'm tired of hearing of. Listen to her. People can fingerpoint all they want. Look at the record. Look at the actions of what we are doing. I don't think a single person who has dedicated their entire career to preventing gun safety legislation from getting passed in this house has any right to blame anybody else but themselves for what is happening. What is she even talking about?

she only has like two modes of thinking what law would have prevented it there's a lot of things I could say and ask questions about with security and all of this other stuff and I don't want to I'm not going to second guess the trained professionals that were there I can only I can only speak to what I know and have have experienced but there for a time we had to have daily security

and whenever it's one of the reasons I actually stopped doing a lot of events. And we, because there were, there were several incidents. And we, I just, I was looking at where he was sitting. And I'm, my, one of the first, one of the first thoughts that popped into my head was when the hell is it okay to start clearing, you know, roof lines now. When is that going to be okay? And I get it, you know, he probably had a private security detail and it was in secret service, whatever. But there's just things that I, you know, I think about with that. And I was listening to another security professional that I actually know in person, say, with an event like this and being outside and the way that everything was oriented, it's actually very, very difficult in these instances. And I get that. And I don't envy. I can't even imagine what his security detail. I mean, there's so many different elements to this horrific tragedy. That's how large it was, that there's so many different aspects to it. And nothing that she's saying here makes any kind of sense. And guns do save lives. Don't you dare bring up. up, you absolute trash bartender, do not bring up to me.

The criminal usage of firearms with regard to loss of life, unless you come after it fairly and honestly with the number of lives that are saved every damn year with legally owned and legally used inanimate objects that we call firearms. Because that, and you know why they don't do it, because it destroys their whole narrative. They don't do it because it destroys their whole entire narrative. Because lawfully used firearms saved three times the amount of lives. I'm going to tell you something. You're not taking our guns while you're shooting at us. It's just, it's just asinine. I'm not going to be gaslit by these people. I'm not going to be nice with them either. That's gone. Ship is sailed. I'm not going to,

I'm not going to be up there telling everybody, oh, calm down, calm down. I'm not doing that. And in fact, the more time passes, the less that I identify with anything of that nature. People have been put through a lot. And there's going to be the funeral next week. POTUS is going to attend. And we saw the amazing images with the VP. But I think that it's just this, this, this.

I don't know what, what, I feel like some of the right are, well, let's just have like a kumbaya moment. Let's just be peaceful. Let's say, well, we're not talking about not being peaceful, but we're not going to, I'm, I don't give a rat to ass about unity. Blank unity. It's really, the statement that Ilan Omar just said, I'm not going to unify with trash like that. I'm not going to unify with people like AOC sandwiched she said. I can't believe I'm giving Bernie Sanders credit here. God help me.

But at least he didn't, you know, sound like a complete anal orophis when he went out. you're welcome it still votes wrong but still the reason and I like what Kurt Schlichter said yesterday the reason that the left is acting like this is

because they're losing audio sum by 32 Jim Acosta pretty unbelievable go ahead let's go ahead and play this yeah I mean there's there's exploitation going on of

of his death and it's happening on the right and it's it's absolutely disgraceful and it and it's sending us down a course where more people are probably going to get hurt and I mean that to me is that's where I kind of held my breath yesterday I wish you'd hold your breath like a lot longer really well they're explaining that's what he does so you're going to try to deny people who who had a high opinion of this young man you're going to try to to emotionally blackmail them into repressing their grief because you're going to falsely accuse them of exploitation as a control mechanism to stop awareness of how violent the left is from spreading?

Pounce hand. Not going to happen. Can I play for you this Jack Sparrow blank blanker who was at the Oxford Union? Charlie Kirk once debated him into a hole in the ground. and this guy was celebrating his execution. He's a DEI participant because the guy is not a good debater. This came, this was on social media. This was literally, I mean, he called people who disagree with him cancers.

There are cancers in society. And he said this after he was celebrating the killing of Charlie Kirk. Listen to the wannabe cat and Jack Sparrow here. To effectively create change in the world we desire. And side prop will argue that at times there is simply nothing else that can be required other than violent retaliation. And this is a view I wholeheartedly agree with. The view that some institutions are too broken, too aggressive, too oppressive to be reformed,

like cancers of our society, they must and they should be taken down by any means necessary. To effectively create change. So what does that mean? I mean, that sounds like pretty violent. Look, I'm going to warn you, don't buy the ticket if you don't want to take the ride. Keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. It will not stop until the end. These people, they talk a great game and they think that they have, this is what, this is actually one thing that does nerve me.

It's people like this on the left. They act like they're such hard asses and they talk. they've never been in a position ever in their lives when they've had to worry about their life. They've never been in a position where they've had to be more combative than with words. They've never been on a national stage like that. They've never been in an alley like that. They've never been anywhere but in these cloistered little halls of academia where they think they know it all. And so they feel free because of free speech to be able to speak against other people from exercising their free speech.

they feel free to be able to advocate for violence because they know they themselves are protected from violence because they live in a civil society. That even if we didn't have laws regulating it, we at least have moral compasses. But I will tell you what unnerves me is if they get what they ask for. Because it's not the left you have to fear. It is the people who are pushed to the point where they don't G-A-F. And those people won't stop. until all of the threats and annoyances are eliminated. And I promise you you don't want to buy that ticket if you don't want to take that ride.

And that is actually the thing that does scare me. Because if these people actually got what they think they wanted, they wouldn't last through it. So maybe the left needs to check their tone and allow cooler heads to prevail. Because nobody wants what they're asking for. least of all them. Brighten up your timely news consumption with the Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. I was looking at this correction of a New York Times story that they had on Charlie Kirk.

This is a hell of a correction. This is what they said. Of course, it's like buried on, you know, below the fold, page three, you know, whatever. Quote, a correction was made on September 11th, 2025. An earlier version of this article described incorrectly an anti-Semitic statement that Charlie Kirk had made on an episode of his podcast. He was quoting a statement from a post on social media and went on to critique it. It was not his own statement. End quote.

However much you loathe them is not enough. Not enough. And that's not even a small publication we're talking about here. Yeah. I made this point earlier, and it really upsets me. it's insane the way that right leaning people are having to run around the internet and clean up the media's attempts at retconning Charlie Kirk's life and history and his remarks. They won't even let his family grieve in peace without trying to posthumously digitally lynch him.

That enrages me. But they're being successful. And I'll say with this, and it's a couple of things. I've been seeing some of these quotes everywhere. One of the things that was shared, and I've sent this to my own kids too. This is an interview he did with Desert News. He said, quote, my job every single day is actively trying to stop a revolution. And this is where you have to point them, try and point them towards the ultimate purposes,

towards getting back to church, getting back to faith, getting married, and having children. That is the type of conservatism that I represent. And I'm trying to paint a picture of virtue of lifting people up, not just staying angry. Charlie Kirk was not an angry person. He didn't approach these things in anger. He didn't stay angry. He wanted a positive resolution. And that is literally everything that he did in life was to that end. Everything. And he lived his life as a living testimony to that end. So it's completely fine to be angry and to be enraged and to want vengeance. I get it. Believe me, I get it. but I also think that it would be so offensive to his memory to not fight in a manner that he would not fight. And to not, I mean, he was converting people. That's why he was so successful. Shouldn't we continue that success with that approach?

It doesn't mean living kumbaya with the people who want to make you more of a statistic. It means you fight assertively and courageously. And that's the type of conservative conservatism that he represented. And I think that's the manner in which we should continue to fight. God bless his family. God bless his wife. He said, Good men must die, but death can't kill their names. Amen to that.

God bless Charlie Kirk. Back Monday.
