I just want to say, and I said it before, there is somebody behind this movement. There is some organization behind this movement. The level of organization that we're seeing in both of these encampments here and at Columbia, leafless of how to protest, leafless of how to commit civil disobedience, leaflets on how, what to do when you get arrested, leafless or not, what to say the police when they ask you, there is somebody funding this. There is somebody radicalizing our students

and our deputy commission of counterterrorism and intelligence. We'll find out who it is. And we're going to be asking me some questions when we do. Well, the call's coming from inside the house, dude. Because it's, it's, they're being, they're being radicalized on college campuses. And I talked about this yesterday. I think it's really dangerous for conservatives to lean into this theory that, oh, all outside forces. It's not. Maybe in some cases you have absolutely, you know, professional

agitators that are brought in because it is the left after all. But by and large, this is not this, you know, outside AstroTurf group. You can't have it both ways. You can't say that, you know, these college campuses are cesspools of Marxist indoctrination while also simultaneously arguing that, you know, it's, they're all brought in from the outside. You know, you You can't, it can't go both ways. And as I've said, you know, with this, this is, they've been radicalized for so long on the inside and with these college campuses too. So it's not, I think conservatives just have to be super careful with us because it's not, I think when you, when you brush it off and you act as though it's all coming from the outside and that this wouldn't be happening if it were not for these outside. outside actors, then you're kind of excusing. Well, you're not kind of. You are excusing what's going on. So,

welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you at the top of this first hour here on Friday. And it's a weird, rainy migraine fighting day in Texas. It's like sunny now, but it just was pouring. So I don't get it. I don't know what's happening in Texas with your weather. But anyway, so that's, now it's a nice sunny day. Now it's a nice sunny day in Texas. But in New York, though, and Elsie, where it's still a crazy protest because they're still protesting in college campuses all over the country. It's one of the things we're going to be talking about. So again, welcome. You can

listen coast to coast. You can also stream the radio program, the simulcast of the radio program as well. So who you heard, that was the deputy commissioner, Kaz Daughtry, of the New York Police Department. And like I said, I just still, I mean, Ken, I don't think I feel like I'm being

I don't think that that's an unreasonable position to, because I I don't you, don't you think though? I mean, how long have we talked about this? How long have you seen all these stories, all this same stuff? It's not just a bunch of outside agitators. I mean, these are.

Yeah, no, there are some. And I think that's what he was talking about. Now, it was a four-minute, like, sort of press conference that he was part of. And in that press conference, they did mention that, you know, majority of them are students, but we have found these leaflets. We've found these things, these directions on how civil disobedience. and should go, how you skirt the law, how, you know, you can cause damage and not get caught, that sort of stuff. And that's what he was alluding to. I think a lot of those people are from

Chicago. You know, Chicago's like a kami hot. I mean, that was the NYPD Deputy Commissioner, Kaz Dautry. Oh, they go everywhere. Yeah. And so he, that's why we know it's so organized, because in all these major cities, you're seeing all this pop up. I do think that there are some instances where you have these professional agitators that see the stuff popping up. up on college campuses and they race over because they're going to they want to try to exploit it. I do think that that happens. I do think that happens as well. But I also think that this is a symptom of what has been building what we've been talking about on these college campuses for, I don't know how many years now. I mean, it has been a thing. We've talked about it for years. I mean, I have story

after story. I went back. So this morning, what I was doing is I was looking back at all of my, all my stories that I've saved that get into. to, basically, you know, essentially treating colleges like a, like a sweatshop to pump out little revolutionaries. And I have so many stories say that goes back, gosh, I've been writing about this for years. And it's, it's like, it's like coming full circle. So now it's almost turning on them, which is they had in, in Texas, this was at UT. So this is where most of the people who were arrested, were students. There were a group who were not students. In fact, there were a group. It was the minority. They weren't by any means the majority of arrests, but the people who were arrested

were students and then there were some who were arrested from the outside that were these outside agitators. And they said that the age range from the outsiders was early 30s to a guy who's 59 and they weren't enrolled. But they said that they apparently came in. So like one guy, 55 is, you know, a progressive agitator. And he has a YouTube channel where he constantly puts himself in conflict with police. Like he literally will go out of his way to do it apparently. And he's attended all these Gaza rallies, you know, across the country. And that's what he does. He goes, you have these people who go to these different events. They travel. I remember in St. Louis when we were still just regional. This was back in 20,

2011, 2010-20-11 when the Occupy stuff was getting going, there were a group of these agitators from Chicago, and they were older, even then at the time, they were older, and they were these agitators from Chicago, and they went out, and they would go and they would, quote, quote, train these other protesters in how to maximize exposure, exploit it, stage these, like, fake confrontations with law enforcement, et cetera, et cetera. And it's always the same people. They're all connected. It's like that Bill Ayers group out of Chicago, the Weatherman group out of Chicago. It's all the same people.

They're still there year after year. They have tenureship at the university. They're all there still doing the same thing. But they looked in this Daily Mail had a piece where they were looking at, well, it was crib from somebody else. They didn't cite them. But they had a piece where they were looking at the individual specifically at the UT protest and how the ones who were not students, they're like professional agitators and they were the ones who were distributing the handbills and all this other stuff and they're all active on social media.

It's one of the reasons why it was so easy to identify them and apprehend them. And another activist works for a move MOVEE, Texas, which is a progressive organization that tries to register everybody regardless of whether or not the legal to vote, all of this. And so they also found weapons that were strategically placed around the campus after the big protests. They found guns, rocks, bricks, steel-enforced wood planks, mallets, and chains that had been strategically placed around UT's campus. And the question is to, you know, how many of the protesters that were doing this stuff were here conditionally by way of just, you know, you're here because you're a student. I don't know. There's a lot, there's, there's absolute, there's always opportunity and you're always going to live with that. There's always opportunity for outside forces to exploit any kind of

division and people who are stupid enough within the United States to allow them to be, allow themselves to be exploited by outside forces for the purpose of division. That hasn't changed. That hasn't changed since the Occupy days and before then. So that's, that's still, there's a victim's group, this from Red State, October 7th victims, victims are suing the group behind, one of the groups behind organizing some of the campus protests, alleging that their propaganda arm of Hamas. There are nine people. They are either themselves survivors or they have an immediate relative who were massacred

in Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7th. They filed a lawsuit against the nationals, students for justice in Palestine groups, SJP and their parent organization. And they've been, apparently the students for justice in Palestine, Palestine, they've been active in helping to organize these demonstrations at these college campuses. And so the complaint is trying to go through the Anti-Terror Act and the Alien Tort Statute and seek damages. And that's kind of interesting. I don't know how successful that's going to be. I mean, obviously they're going to have to, they're alleging that they're using propaganda to intimidate,

convince and recruit uninformed, misguided, and impressionable college students to serve as foot soldiers for Hamas on campus and beyond. Now, that gets to be a very interesting argument, and we talked a little bit yesterday, and we're going to talk about it some more of that really stupid bill that was passed in the House. It's actually an anti-free speech bill. It doesn't really have, if you're going to focus on anti-Semitism, you've got to realize that, you know, this, the bill that was passed, and Mike Lala brought it forward really is an abridgment of speech. And we talked about that at length, like I said. But going through this Anti-Terrorism Act and Alien Towards statute, you're still getting into a free speech issue with this, because if you can,

if you can prove damages, that's one thing. But that's, that's going to be something that you're going to have to bring forward in your argument. So we'll see how that goes. But that's what they have filed suit. I'm happy just to see some of these people caught up in some lawfare. I'm not going to lie. They were clearing out the Portland State University. And it was just an absolute, as you can imagine, when they were clearing out, UCLA, when they've cleared out these other universities, they said that it's been absolutely disgusting when they go in. They said that the activists had spread soap on the floors and buildings because they wanted police who came in to slip and fall. They had to break down all of the rats' nest looking barricades that these people

had put up. They made, and they ripped out the fire alarm system. They did a lot of stuff. They spread paint everywhere. They graffeed everything. The a building is not even safe to occupy because there's no alarm system that's been removed. The fire system has been removed. They said that they found all kinds of weapons in the building that was presumably to be used against police. They destroyed the library. They, I mean, destroyed the floor.

There's so much damage. They actually, apparently, stole rare archival material, including a dark horse comic collection that was in the library, of course. Nobody knows the cost on that yet. So there's going to be, this is not, that's not a free speech issue. These are just people being jack wagons and taking advantage of it. And I think that that's predominantly the majority of this because half of these people don't even know what they're standing there for. So coming up, we also have some of the latest with regards to economic policy. The capital gains tax rates are going to wallop a handful of states, particularly we're going to discuss which states those are. And then also some culture. Because now there is, and this is, and this is, A bizarre rise of cosmetic clinics offering grotesque cosmetic surgeries to craft quote unquote non-binary people, male and female copulatory organs of the gender that they want to identify as. Like people that they're trying, they're making fat bank on this. That's, I don't know.

I just can't even. The folks over at Goldcoe precious metals, it can be an oversaturated market if you don't know what to look. for and you don't know who to trust.

Biden has to spend even more of your kids and grandkids credit cards. After last week's poor GDP numbers, it's going to be much harder for businesses to grow. We don't need economists to lie for us on TV. We see stackflation on the ground. Check out 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 Apple has announced the largest ever $110 billion share buyback. This from CNBC, as iPhone sales have dropped by 10%. Their fiscal second quarter earnings were just a little slightly higher than Wall Street expectations reported. But overall revenues down 4%. iPhone sales are falling by 10%. Is it just because people aren't buying the latest iPhone anymore? Like, what's the what yeah I mean it's inflation and all of that too but that's always been like I feel like

one of the last things that's been hit you know what I mean uh additionally a border the border agent on horseback who is falsely accused of whipping migrants in Texas has been awarded for his service he ought to be he really should be this border patrol agent you guys remember all of that when they said that oh people were whipping the agents or the agents were whipping the people trying to cross with with they had whips and they were actually horses reins so the agent was recognized you received an award for his intelligence work on human smuggling cases. Good for him. He ought to. In fact, they all ought to receive a presidential apology. Brittany Spears got into a fight with her boyfriend at Chateau Marmont. The ambulance was called.

She walked out in her underwear and a blanket. She apparently is now home and safe. All the people who are like free Britney, now do you see why she needed a conservatorship? They said she's in fear of going broke. and she apparently is you know she didn't look well and this study which is trash it says if you like loud cars you might be a psychopath

now this is what gets me I think this is a sexist study because they say that it's all about men men who like noisy cars are more likely to be psychopaths and they get a kick out of watching people get startled

what about people who do stupid surveys like this and leave out women who I love loud cars I have a loud car. I have a super loud car. It is a loud car that goes it is one of those. It puts hair on your chest,

even if you're a woman when you drive it. And I don't know why women were left out of this. That makes me mad, right? No. No, I wax it. I don't, but you know what I mean? But they said that researchers wanted to understand. Now, who does this?

Who does this? They wanted to understand whether or not there was a link between loud automobiles. and the dark personality traits. They said that there's Machiavellian controlled men. Oh, shut up. You people are so stupid. They looked at 529 participants.

And they're like, yeah, men like the louder cars. And I think that the researchers who did this are a bunch of giant pansies, who all piece sitting down, all of them, men included. So this is interesting. This is kind of a retread of the Ghost Army. You guys remember we talked about that before World War II. It was a sciop that the U.S. Army, did on Germany and they actually

had employed a lot of people from Hollywood in order to fake out the Nazis so that patent could cross and get into Germany. But now they've released, the U.S. Army has released a mysterious Ghost in the Machine recruitment video. It's basically Ghost Army 2.0. It's information

psychological warfare. And so they're trying to apparently recruit people for that. And the people who have no idea about the Ghost Army are acting like this is a brand new thing. This is called Ghost in the Machine 2. And they posted this weird video online using the actual Ghost Army logo back from back in the day. And they said that the Army Special Operations Command and Special Forces recruiters hope that it'll inspire new recruits

to come into an often unseen and little known job. You know what? You're not going to have any new recruits so long as you have commanding officers who are dudes who tuck and wear skirts and wear lipstick and make you call them by fake unscientific pronouns. You're not going to get anybody who's going to be, who's going to sign up as long as you keep using the military as a social experiment instead of a fighting force. We have more on the way. Stick with us. It's bottom of the hour, this first hour on Friday. So set immigration politics aside for a moment. New diseases are entering through U.S. borders and infections. The University of Nebraska's Med Center has been tracking it. USA Today's written about it. All kinds of infections diseases. Plus, you remember the medication

shortages during COVID and remember not being able to see a doctor and long lines at the ER. So my advice is to prepare for the next disease or infection. Get out front of it.

I think it's more than divestment as well. I think given the fact that the University of California is founded on colonialism, it's inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an addressment of U.S. imperialism and it's ties to the U.C. system

and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad. Not only abroad, but also here locally. We see this with the the brutality, the police brutality that black and brown students face here at UCLA, Arab students, Muslim students, Palestinian students. And I myself have personally been

like faced those violences that the UC has perpetuated and continues to perpetuate. It's not just a means of divestment. It's a divestment from Zionism. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It's Friday. day, we all have headaches because Texas weather. We ain't to move for that. Welcome back to the program.

Dana Lash with you, bottom of this third hour. I can't, you know, just flunk them all. Send their asses home. Flunk every one of them. If I was a teacher, every one of you, every one of my students, I'd flunk, because I can. I'd be mean. I'd flunk all of you. And you'd have to go home and you'd have to pay again and retake the class. Love it, love it, love it, love it. And so this, this, is I'm so done with these trash babies. They are making me want to actually support abortion just for them. You think I'm joking. I'm just how, when do they go home?

When are their classes done? Send them home. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of seeing their stink on TV. Send them home. Do you think any of them are serious academics? No. Of course not.

Like they use these words that are buzzwords that, that people who are actually stupid hijack and then repeat like parrots because they think it makes them sound intellectual. We know that's an end of day and the that's right. Shut up. You know,

you probably got, you're, you probably have one of those taxpayer funded student loans. No, we're not, we're not doing any of that. I'm just, remember when colleges were about education, they're not anymore. That's why you should go to Hillsdale. They're not anymore.

I, I, it's a bunch of, whiny babies who have been coddled and they all go and they they make the idea of a college degree anymore look like a joke they make it look like a joke. I don't know how they think that this is like it makes them look like good candidates for jobs either. Although maybe some maybe they can go and get a job with Sweet Baby Inc. Maybe they can do that. So again, welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We've worked there's some of the, I guess some of the college.

colleges are ending their classes. There's been a ton of commencement ceremonies that have been canceled. A lot of the students, I think, are going home. So you're going to hear more and more stories about the mess that everybody has to clean up, that they leave for, you know, the pearls, the pores to go and clean up. They just leave it for all of them. In the meantime, there's a few other things I'm going to want to make sure that we touch on. The, we've had, we have some culture issues that we're going to get into. I don't know if you heard of this. This, pull the story up for you. The administration, per CNBC via the White House, has said that they're going to make sure that gas prices remain affordable this summer season.

That's what a Biden advisor told CNBC. Now, here's the question that I have. Back in last year and then the year before that, didn't the administration argue that they don't control gas prices? because I have a million articles where they said that they don't control gas prices. And that's it. They don't control gas prices. I'm curious. How are they going to make sure that gas prices remain affordably low this summer when they're,

and I mean, we're not even doing anything here at home? And they said they don't control gas prices. Remember, the Biden administration said that. He doesn't control the gas prices. I love how they think you're dumb enough to believe that. They think that you are alleging, they're moving the argument. They're alleging that you, that you're arguing that, well, Joe Biden himself can determine particularly specifically what the gas prices are. When, in fact, they know that it has to do with how many, you know, the leases for drilling, exploration, refiner,

whether, you know, our quota of how much we're actually being, we're able to deliver here domestically. They know all of that plays into it. All of it plays into it. But they, they just want the talking point. Additionally, job growth has fallen. Bureau of Labor Statistics released some new data this morning. The U.S., the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9%.

Economist, they thought that maybe there would be a couple hundred thousand jobs. added in April, but it there there that's not correct and less productivity data is spelling definitely more trouble. They said that the low on the that the unemployment rate because now it's ticked out 3.9% that's BLS the lowered economic growth persistently elevated inflation is all driving into it now everyone's wondering whether or not we're in a period of stagflation. Well, we definitely have inflation and stagflation, stagnant economy, for the most part. I mean, I think it's been that way for quite some time, thanks to the administration and the policies they're in.

They said U.S. business productivity growth also slowed in the first quarter to 0.3%. Growth in manufacturing, not didn't really increase its static. And as you know, interest rates aren't going anywhere. Great job, great economy. We're going into a strong summer, cane, super strong. summer and I'm sure that the president's going to make sure that gas remains affordable. The only way he can do it is to empty out our strategic petroleum reserve. That's the only way he can do it.

There's no way. We're at 100% capacity as it pertains to, you know, taking oil and making gasoline out of it. Correct. So it's not like we could increase capacity. So he's literally going to drain it, which by the way, they've failed to fill it when they promised to do it. When they said they were going to wait until, what was it, 20 a barrel? Yep. And then it didn't happen now. It's what? It jumped to 80 a barrel. And they're like, oh, we can't do it now. It's too expensive. We can't do it now, guys. They sold it to China, like 80 or 85 a barrel. So anything under that,

they should be able to put it back in, but they're not doing it. Should be. And political will, as you know. The only way you can do it is to drain the SPR. It's the only thing you can do. Now, speaking of gravel pits, Christy know him. Someone needs to tell her to stop. talking about the puppy gravel pit story. This woman will not stop talking about it. She will not quit. She did, I don't know what she has yet another television interview that she did about this. She will not stop tweeting about it. And her story's changing. Like she's changing her story now. She's saying that it was a working breed dog, even though the AKC says that wired hair pointers are considered puppies until they reach age two. This dog was not two years old. And that

according to Noam's own story. She's changing it. Now she's trying to move the goalpost and then she omitted the fact that she wrote in the book how much she hated the dog. She truly hated the dog. I think that, again, staffers who tell you, yeah, go ahead. Put in your vice presidential audition book that bit about when you took your puppy to the gravel pit and shot it. Go ahead.

Put it in there as a good flex. and then have it as an excerpt that you run in one of the biggest newspapers in the world, and then do nonstop interviews about it and tweet incessantly about it. I think that people who advise you to do those things, if you're an elected official or you're a candidate, perhaps don't have your best interests in mind. I'm just going to venture a guess here. And now that does not mean I'm suggesting that you take those reporters to the gravel pit

or those staffers to the gravel pit. I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm just saying that maybe if you're told to do that, they don't have your best interest in mind. And if you're listening to them, maybe you don't have your best interest in mind either? There's like, have you seen the tale of two books? So you have Tulsi Gabber, who's going to be on the program coming up. Not today, but she's going to be on the program soon. She came out with a book that I also think is a VP audition book. And then you have Christy Noam, who came out with a VP audition book. One of these, one of these officials, one of these politicians did not put in a story making themselves look insane by not really explaining or justify. I mean, if the dog was dangerous and bad, then you need to do a better job at making

that case in the book. And she didn't do that. I mean, she literally, by her own hand, the way she wrote it was she took a dog that was just not trained very well and was aggressive and, you know, and took it in a gravel pit and shot it because she wouldn't train it. That's what it sounds like. but people who get mad at everybody in the commentariat for talking about it, we're only talking about it still because she will not shut up about it. I only mentioned it the first day that it happened and then today. She has been for the past week, nonstop talking about it. I don't know if her people are telling her double down on it or stand your ground.

I don't know what they're telling her. It is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Just stop it. Just stop talking about the damn story. It was bad enough that you put it. in the book because you thought it was a flex. It was bad enough that you allowed the Guardian to excerpt it and to hype your book. And

it's bad enough that you keep doubling down on it. Just stop talking about the damn dog story. What in the hell is the matter with you? Who in the world does this stuff? Golly. I keep seeing tweets about it. I keep seeing interviews

about it. Like who's telling her to do this? At some point, like you want to preserve your career, right? Like you would just think that that instinct of self-preservation would kick in at some point. It has not with her. I don't know. Now, another note, quick note too, as we're rolling. You know, John Fetterman agreed with Ron DeSantis about lab grow meat. I wrote, if you get the prep email, that I don't agree with Ron DeSantis on banning lab grow meat and not for the noble purpose of limited government either.

I don't give a rat's backside about that with this issue. I want the people that I don't like to eat bad things for them because it takes care of a problem without me having to get involved and exert any energy over it, right? Does that sound me? I'm being honest. It's what government's been doing to us for decades. I'm literally not even joking. I just let the people who want, if you want to eat lab grown meat, yum, nom, nom, get it to it.

Go and eat that lab grown meat. Take care of a problem for us. I'm all right with that. But John Futterman was, and I get it. He's like an AG, whatever, dude. He's like, oh, I actually. But the way he said it, it's like, don't make me revoke your hoodie pass, yo. Don't make me do it.

He came out and he tweeted that it pains him deeply to agree with Crash and Burn Ron, but I co-sign this. Do not even. Don't even. I'm not going to say that you look like Gru from the Minions movies, but you do. So just let's not sit here and talk about other politicians. I gave you the hoodie pass. That's enough.

I just, you know, it makes it easier for all of us to be left alone by their Dippy policies if they fall victim to them. So coming up, this is what we, we saw the, we still have a con, we get the latest with Rafa. We've got GOP, 2024, EVs, uh, culture. Ooh.

Do I want to talk about some of these headlines that I have in here? No. Austin City Council, they voted. It's all performative because Texas has a law about the transgender surgeries for minors, but Austin, it was just purely performative, but they've had their city council pass this affirmation thing. We're going to get into all of that and more here on the

Friday edition. It's the gravel pit edition of the show. So there's a company that I just started using called Ammo Squared.

And it's stored in this climate controlled warehouse. And it sends it on. automatically when you want it, when you have its selected descent. And ammunition is a hard asset. I mean, it's something that's tangible. I think we all remember the uncertainty, like back in,

what, 2019, 2020, when there were certain calibers that were kind of hard to find. And we ended up call and we were calling some of our retail friends and saying, when you get a shipment of this, can we get some? Can we lay claim to some when it comes in? And in times of uncertainty and inflation, the value of all this stuff only goes up. So Ammo Squared is there to help smooth out the rough spots of ammunition availability. It's like a, like an ammo 401k or something like that. You set it up. You have ammo for that rainy day

Like Sands through the Hourglass, are the days of the United States. I was very frustrated to see some prominent people misrepresent what's happening at UCLA and other places on their social media accounts. People like Emmanuel Acho, for example.

So to me, at the end of the day, no problem, no problem at all with disruption. Again, you don't have to tear up the whole university, but making the university uncomfortable is exactly what you're supposed to. And I'm a parent of a college student. And I, you know what I'm okay? I'm okay with it. Get your grades done. But tear some of it. Oh, really?

That's Mark Lamont Hill. He's telling a pro-Gazan college protesters to tear some redacted. Welcome back to the program. Can I just tell you? I was asking one of my kids who's at a Southern University where they will not deal with them. I was asking him, I'm like, have you seen any of these protests happening in your campus? And he's like, L.O.L. No. Not going to happen. And if it did, he would be, he'd be one of the dudes holding up the flag. And I find it so amusing that at some point, and I get it, you know, college, they're young adults.

But I ought to tell you, even if I disagreed with something and, my dudes were somehow, my sons were protesting against something, even if I disliked it, and they were engaged in destruction and doing things that actually made it look like it was bad advocacy and made people turn away from the issue. I think I'd be down there with a flip-flop. You know, I really do. I do. I really, I'd be down there with the flip-flop and I'd be slapping some people, including

my kids. You know one of the things that I've seen too. Somebody made this point and I just saw this, because I saw this photo, this dude's in red, white and blue suspenders and he's taken a photo and it's just like, you know, all your politics in one photo. Somebody made this point, which we've kind of touched on. The well-adjusted, attractive, normal people versus the ugliest people you've ever seen in your life. And that's true. And there's a reason why. One of the people, there's a reason that why all of these individuals that are on these college campuses are some of the ugliest, nasty as fat-ass people who look like they don't give one crap about their health. They look unhealthy. They sound like they're mentally ill in a bad way. They just look like a hot mess.

They are as they are, but the stuff that comes out of their mouth is even more ridiculous. There's a reason why. It's because these people live in a fantasy. These people don't live in reality. And I feel like they try to be as weird as possible to make up for all of the other attributes that they lack, like intelligence and ability to reason and all of this other stuff. I just, I, I, it's just, it is wild to me. It is wild. They are actually, they are shooting themselves in the foot for future generations because you can't tell me that Gen Z and other, an alpha generation are looking at this going, yeah, I want to be the weird lady that has her sideburns dyed blonde to make her. I want to be her. No, no, stick with us. Free radio brought to you by folks like

I think it's really important that we win this election, and I reiterated that to him. You know, we're going to be active in a variety of capacities throughout the rest of the year for to help, you know, not just the top of the ticket, but all around the country and particularly in Florida with some of the key issues we have to deal with. But, you know, a lot of it was just connecting about things. I mean, look, he's a dad. He's got a kid going to college.

You know, I'm a dad. I've got three young kids in the household. He's concerned about how my wife was doing. Obviously, she had a cancer scare a couple years ago. So it was just a good meeting and a good conversation. But he understands the importance of this election. He understands the damage that Biden is doing. And I think you would see 180 degree different policies.

if we're able to win in November, which is important that we do. DeSantis is class. He is a million percent class. And by the way, I can't think of a better way to bomb out the left going into the summer than, you know, that meme of DeSantis and Trump and like two dudes shaking hands like coming together. That's something that's going to make. It's going to make the left really depressed. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you, top of the second hour. We told you that they met on Sunday talking about fundraising.

and DeSantis is because, you know, 2024, November, not that long away, y'all. We're getting into it now. We're in it now. I know that like the election season seemed long, but that's just because the primary started so early. But we are in it now. And I just think he's pure class.

And I got to say, I like it. You know, people get into squabbles and all of that stuff during politics. The people who are true pros and the people who are emotionally mature enough, to handle it are those who don't take it personally and remember you know who their actual allies and their friends are and those who don't and then ones you don't those are the trash people that you just discard by the wayside so this is class it's like a republican voltron coming together i have said this for so long isn't it right form the arms and legs and all form the head and then like my favorite part of the voltron is i have gosh i love that show and it was a

kid and I had like the smaller Voltron and I had the bigger Voltron because all my cousins got me one of the cats one year. I each cousin got me a cat and I had the whole thing. And you remember Voltron would be up in the air and then his feet were wah, wow, wow, and then his hands were because they're the cats, right? Was it a lion roar? I never understood it, but they did. I actually, I don't care. It's just, it's Voltron. That's all you need to know. It's amazing. Oh, and oh, man, gosh, that was whenever Voltron came together, seriously, think about it. You guys know, I still get chills. I get chills thinking about it, no.

Any episode, he's getting ready to fight the boss. And, you know, because Voltron collectively all together is he, it's just this. And when they all come to, I mean, everybody, they all bring their specific skill sets. And they all come together to make Voltron. They're powerful in their own right, individually. But they're unstoppable when they're all together. And they, and oh man, you knew when Voltron, all the cats were coming together, somebody was getting a whoop and you could not wait.

And it's that anticipation. I get gas-dang, I got chills right now thinking about it. It's so inspiring. I loved it. Oh, my word. And they come together. And I love, by the way, how all the bad guys stopped fighting with Voltron and the cats long enough for Voltron to form and to monologue about it the whole time, right?

Thank God. Yeah. Thank heavens. Like, you know, that the, I loved it. Volta. My second anime as a kid. You know what my first anime was? What?

Speed Racer. That's all right. But I mean, growing up in the United States in the 70s and in the 80s, that's literally the only anime we ever had was Voltron and Speed Racer. I never just, I never thought about it. Voltron is actually anime. Yeah. Huh.

I mean, it's true. Yeah. fascinating. Look at that. I just, but that was activate interlocks. I don't even know what that is, but I remember it, right?

Dinotherms connected. What is that even? I don't know, but it means somebody's getting whooped. That's what it means. Infracells up. What? Don't even know. But someone's going to get their ass beat.

The mega thrusters are a go. Megathrusting to whoop you down. That's what it is. Oh my gosh. Man alive. That's some inspiring stuff this Friday, is it not? How old are the people that don't know about Voltron? You know about Voltron, don't you, Steve?

What? Wait a minute. Stop the show. You're in your late 20s. Stop the show. Juan is shaking his head too. He doesn't have a clue. Like, wait, he's disappointed that Steve doesn't know or Juan doesn't have a clue.

No, Juan also doesn't know. And has never heard of Voltron. Oh, wait a minute. I know it's Friday, guys. bear with me. Hold up because this has actually influenced me to a regregious degree, Voltron, as a child.

Holy cow, we're that old. Or they are just that un-American. I am shocked. I know it's anime. Shut up. At what age did you guys watch like, for example, what age were you watching that show? I was in elementary school, I don't know. So what, eight? Seven and

80s. It would have been in the 80s, so I would have been like early teens. Okay, I'll say I was 10 in 2005, so you put that together. I mean, there's reruns of Voltron was running. Steve could be my accident brother. So Voltron, because you guys don't, I can't believe we're having to, oh my gosh. I bet everybody in the chat's dying right now.

Right? Because everybody knows Voltron. My kids know Voltron. Well, it's because I'm their parent. You're probably not. Your kids know Voltron, Kane. Yeah, they absolutely know Voltron. Yeah.

They were first introduced to all the animas. When they started showing me animas, then I'm like, you want to see some OG animas? Here we go. And then you blew their minds? And then I blew their minds. That's my favorite. Like, yeah, I take it and raise you a Voltron. And then they're like, what?

Larry, our listener, said he was 42 in 2005, and he didn't know about Voltron. What? Larry? we're going to Larry and Steve and Juan are going to have to go to Voltron school and everyone else out there. Oh man. Wasn't this this? So first off, you have the team of five and they all shut up one. The body, the arms, the legs and the head.

Yeah, they all had a cat and then they all came together to form Voltron. And Voltron protects the universe. Yeah, but a specific planet. And then there's the King's Arcon and E5. and they got, you know, all the body. And wasn't there, wasn't it from, wasn't Voltron from Go Lion? Was it?

I think so. Was it? I don't know. See, this is where me being severed at the time kicks in. I think that was a different thing. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know.

Anyway, but yeah, it was, and they would fight and they had, I mean, gosh, we can't play the theme, we'll get totally kicked with a copyright, won't we? Will we? I think so. give it to me, I can play it. If Steve plays it. Steve can play it. Steve, I'm going to need the Voltron theme. It's Friday. Because guys, you need to understand America. I know it's Japanese. Shut up. This is what I'm talking about. Everybody coming together for the good of the country. It's the Voltron politics strategy. I've been talking about this for like a decade. I've been saying this forever. People are now repeating it. It is the Voltron strategy for winning elections. Everyone brings their skill set. Now the simulcast, they're not getting it, but we're playing it right now. How did we get here?

The legend of Voltron. Defender of the universe. It doesn't matter. We're here now. Loved by good. Feared by evil. So great. This is good audio.

Yeah. Oh, it's amazing audio. This dude's voice. I remember him to leave my voicemail grading. His voice reminds me of Captain Crunch. I bet he is, he's probably dresses like Bert Reynolds. He sounds like it. I just want to hear them form the cat.

All the cats come together and form Voltron. Here it goes. The five pilots. It's like better than Transformers. It is. I said, okay, godly,

this is like way earlier. We have to the TV audience. The TV people have no idea what's going on. They're like, why is she just talking? We're playing the Voltron thing that we can't play on the simulcast because we'll get our asses suit off.

Can one even show what Voltron looks like on this game? Can't even show that? We'll get ding for a copyright violation. But just get to where they're like, like they form it because that's the part where all the kids I would stand up in my living room watching those and I'm like yes if you didn't do that I literally would raise my arms and feet up and didn't they like create a sword out of nothing yeah yeah the blazing sword yeah the blazing sword yeah yeah oh my gosh it's amazing and it was shoo like he literally formed it out of the ether

talking about one saying there's voltron indoctrination going on right now yeah just get me to where they form the voltron Steve just get me there Just get me there because that's what Trump and DeSantis are doing right now. People can tell it's Friday. And yeah, they can tell it's Friday. And also, I'm really trying to drive this point home. Because I see people who are like the, I see the, the, the, the, some of the hardcore. And I look, I like DeSantis in the primary.

You guys know that. I will literally steamroll your grandmother over to win. I'm not even joking. If I, if they're like, Danny, you got a roll over this old lady to win in November. Okay. I got it. I got it. I got it.

Don't even care. Go play it. Play it. All he's got it. Oh, yes. there it is. I don't know what the hell in interlock. Dinotherms.

Stress. Gosh. Still, the TV audience is just watching you do like mime. They have no idea. It's the Voltron thing. We can't play on simulcast. We'll get sued. They're forming it right now.

It's so flipping amazing. Oh my gosh. I had every one of these. And see, now they're all coming together and he's going to narrate. Like you would in any respectable anime. Form feet and legs. The cats coming together. Arms and

There you go Arms and body And here it comes It's forming right now The head Right And then he's like The cats are growling

His hands are growling His feet are growling And then he does the blazing sword And oh my gosh I want to find out Who's watching this And not hearing The Voltron theme

They're not hearing the Voltron theme And they're like What is the matter with her? How they feel about these last few minutes? She's on drugs she's on drugs. Do you know that because we can't play certain things on the television simulcast, people watch it and they're like, is she high? I'm not even kidding.

Like that happens. Oh, man. Yeah, Voltron was the best. Oh, yeah, there was the Car Voltron. I know. I know. I know it was a car Voltron as well. But man, I'm telling you, Voltron was the be all end all.

If you had a pick between Jojo and Voltron, Kane. Oh, man. Jojo's bizarre adventure, which is a fabulous. As soon as you get over the in the first. episode. Oh gosh, the dudes. Cars? Oh, yeah, yeah. My thing, the difference between the two is that there's like a million episodes of Jojo. Yeah. And there's only... And a Rocky's a genius. They're all named after 80s stuff. There's a consumable amount of episodes of Voltron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you had a pick, only one can exist. I don't know. I'd like, you know what? I don't know as a kid when I saw it,

and we were lucky enough, by the way, in St. Louis, because not every city had a Voltron played at their local broadcasts. It was Copler that allowed it for television in St. Louis. So there were a lot of cities that probably didn't get Voltron like we did. So we were lucky enough to do it. But as a kid, I'm not sure if I've seen every episode, even though

I tried my hardest. So I would probably choose Voltron. Yeah, I probably would too. You can watch those old episodes on Peacock. That's what it says. And there's apparently a newer version of Voltron that's on Netflix. No, it sucks. But you can watch all the old ones on Peacock.

No, I am watching. The newer one sucks. It's horrible. The newer one is the, is, is, no, it's trash. It's a trash baby. I haven't seen it, so I can't call it a trash baby. I saw like one teaser and I was like, bleh. No, I'm willing to give all the anime a chance at some point.

No, if it looks bad, then I, I will judge it harshly within the first 10 seconds. You got 10 seconds. And if you can't sell it in 10 seconds, bye. Not going to happen. We did this whole segment on Bolton and anime. People are dying. across the country right now. Felt good.

I gotta tell you guys. Who was it? We had somebody that came over to us and they're like, hey, we would like for you to do a podcast that's like not related to politics. Basically, they wanted me to do a podcast that was about politics but not about politics. And I was like, okay, let's do it on anime and music and they were terrified.

Like, what? No. And that was it. We had one meeting. They're like, what kind of interest do you have? Like, I guess they thought I was going to talk about like shopping or something like that.

I don't know. All right. So coming up, we got Congresswoman Victoria Spart. She's going to be joining us. She voted against funding for Ukraine. She's Ukrainian. We're going to talk to her. She's like coming in hot. So hopefully it'll all happen on time. So we've got a lot still. We've got headlines on the way as we roll this glorious segment. So the sub 2K with Keltec, I don't know if you've, I mean, you should have, you know, check this out. You should have checked it out at some point. But the sub 2K from Keltec is an awesome 9mm carbine. I have the previous iteration of this. But the new one, the Gen 3 is shipping now and it has a lot of upgrades on it. First and foremost, you don't have to detach your favorite optics on it anymore just to fold it in half. Previously you did. You would have to take your optics off and store them and all that goes. You don't have to do that now. It's just this simple twist and fold the rotating patent pending foreend.

You can just twist it, turn it, and it immediately folds everything, optics and all right in half. also just as quickly and easily deploys it too, which is really nice. It's just great. Like if you're going hiking, you're going out and you want to, you know, space is a priority. The nine millimeter carbine sub two K Gen 3 is perfect for that. Also takes Glock Mags. Glock 19's fit flush. The mags for Glock 19. I have black 19 fits flush. Also, they have redesigned mechanics for that trigger as well. Lightened five pound pool. That translates to improved accuracy. The action's updated. It's easier to rack. the internal buffer means softer recoil. This is just a great carbine. I really like the sub 2K. I think you got to have one in your personal collection. I would recommend the Gen 3 because I'm lazy and I don't

want to take my optics off. Just be honest about it. It's Keltec made in Florida, family-owned values, family-made at their best. You got to check it out online yourself. KeltecWeapons.com, the sub2K Gen 3, K-E-L-T-E-C, Weapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Man, I can't imagine. So the ozimic shots that people are taking, so now the women are reporting what they say are ozimic breasts, meaning they sag. I guess they have to tuck them into their socks. Plastic surgeons say that apparently they're getting an uptick to fix it. You know, there is also dieting in the gym. Because not everybody,

needs it for like not everybody has diabetes not everybody has like where they i get it some people it helps them with their diabetes i've you know i get it but um just saying just saying they i've been reading all of this like they're they're godly so yeah all the surgeons are making fat bank on this uh an orangutang was seeing treating his wound with a medicinal plant in this story from nbc uh i don't think it's ever been observed that's at least what mbc says they said it was a world first after an orangutang hurt his face, a scientist observed him, chewing a plant known to relieve pain, and applying a paste made from the leaves to the injury. And they have a photo of it. That's fascinating. So, I mean, that's not, I mean, don't dogs eat grass, like when they feel, when they need to regurgitate?

I don't know. Maybe it's something that's interesting. Also, let's see, there is, do, do, Do a sex offender asked in Norway Supreme Court to declare social media access a human right? Mm-hmm. Per ABC. They do some of the weirdest stuff in Norway. This convicted sex offenders asking the Supreme Court to declare social media access a human right. He's literally, he should be put to death instead of being in court asking for, like, privileges and stuff. Let's see, this guy in India swallowed a mobile phone during a raid of his jail cell and had to undergo surgery to take it out.

He ate his phone. He swallowed it. He swallowed it and they had to perform surgery to take it out. It was a smartphone. They said it was obviously causing problems, clearly. Victoria Sparks joins us next. Stay with us. Elevate your commute, workouts, or downtime with the Dana Show podcast.

Palestinians may be eligible for a variety of existing pathways to enter the United States, such as immigrant or non-immigrant visas. We are constantly evaluating policy proposals to further support Palestinians who are family members of American citizens and may want to join them in the United States. I don't have any potential changes to preview at this time. That's a bad idea. We talked about that yesterday, right when it broke, I think it was like in our third hour, when it came out that the administration is discussing bringing in. They're proposing this. This is something they're advocating for.

These quote unquote refugees from Gaza that the Arab League won't even accept, that Jordan won't accept, that Lebanon won't accept, that Egypt won't accept, that Qatar won't accept for a good reason. If anybody knows the history of that area, and that is the State Department spokesperson Matt Miller on that. He said, oh, they might be eligible for a variety of different reasons, different pathways. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you. You can listen coast to coast. You can also watch the simulcast of the program. on Channel 347 Direct TV, on X, YouTube, Rumble, everywhere else, on this issue and many others.

I think she's one of the most fiery members of Congress, and we need members like this in Congress. And I think she's probably one of the most ferocious fighters that they have in the House. And, of course, we're talking about Indiana's own Congresswoman Victoria Sparts, who joins us now via Skype. And she was coming in hot. She's working. She's out there talking to her voters. I want to talk with you, though, Congressman, first off, so good to see you, always good to have you. I just wanted to get your reaction to this new proposal from the Biden administration to bring in these refugees. That's what they're calling them from Gaza that for good reason no other Arab nation will take. They want to resettle them here in the United States.

That's the proposal. Well, listen, Dana, we're a country of immigrants, but we are a country also of immigrants that came to America to make our country great. We have immigration to jobs. We actually need to serve our national interest. We are kind of immigrants that will unite it of ideas of freedom, that will unite by constitution. We are not teaching them. That's what makes our country great.

Now we're trying to bring people here illegally, pay them benefits that bankrupt in our country. We create immigration to welfare. And on top of it, we start bringing people that countries are actually dangerous for us. We are actually not vetting properly. We've seen what's happening when we did, you know, the evacuation from Afghanistan. We wouldn't help, you know, real allies, but then brought up some people. We didn't know who they wore because it was completely mishandled.

And these are dangerous countries. I mean, there are terrorists there that want to destroy kill Americans. We open borders and now create, give, like, you know, open pretty much borders and parole authority to this administration that abuse in it. It's very dangerous. It's not just not in our national interest. It puts Americans in danger. And we saw what's happening on this campuses. We have very violent people that try to oppress Americans and get them into submission with anger, with oppression.

And DOJ and FBI is helping them. This administration helping, I think we've become a tyrannical country. And they want to use this aggressive people to intimidate us. And Americans better wake up. I think exactly. You're talking with Congresswoman Victoria Sparts from Indiana. you mentioned the college protests as well. None of this, I don't think anybody can look at this, even people on the left and see that

or think that this is in any way organic, that it's not widely planned. I mean, it's an election year. They have, you know, these Israel versus Gaza. It's a way to kind of, I think, turn up the heat on Joe Biden. But what happens, Congresswoman? I mean, at some point, class has got it in. School's got to be out for summer. What are these, what are these rioters, these pro-Hamas?

protesters going to do when everybody goes home for the summer. How are they going to get attention for themselves? That's kind of what I'm concerned about. Well, listen, I agree with you, but I'll tell you, this is a very organized group of people and well-funded. They try to destabilize and intimidate, and you can see that some of them, not even college students, but they brainwashed college students, and you can see a lot of this administration and college presidents are afraid of them. Some have agenda, but some of them are truly afraid. You know, it was interesting. We had our a former governor at Purdue University president on Fox News, you know, a few days ago. And he said some of these young people came to his office and, and there's like, we are not

negotiating and this. And he said, you know, we have one thing in common. I'm not negotiating here too. You have to be toughness. And you need to say, you know what? This lawlessness is unacceptable. We are not anarchy. We're the country of the rule of law.

You are not going to be treating other students, you know, Jewish students. Christian students or whoever it is. Let's come after Jewish students right now. Then that's going to be Christian students. Then next to be all of us. And they want you to be afraid. They want you to be scared. And that's what they do.

And in politics, the same thing. They come to your townhouses, screaming at you. They all try to make you afraid. And we need to stop that because this is how tyranny happened when good people are not willing to stand up and afraid. And it's a very small minority, but very felt fun and organized. and that's what they do it. That's how Marxists happen in the former Soviet Union.

You know, that's how these ideas are promoted. You know, there's violence and intimidation. That's how communism and socialism is put on people. And we see the same trends where we now have political elites that control and supported by our police state, the DOJ and FBI became, and they want us all equally poor and oppressed. And this is something that is, I can see that and breaks my heart.

I grew up under that. And we as Americans, we say enough is enough and we need to stand up and we need to have adults in the rooms. And some of these people are saying, we're not going to be treating policemen like that. We're not being treated Americans like that. We're not going to be allowed into Semitism and oppression of Jewish people. And unbelievable how much through suffering they went through. And we are not going to be intimidated by small group of radicals. That's an exactly.

And it's so well funded. I know that there was a report that came out looking at all of the different groups that are kind of pulling the strings on this and that are giving money to all of these. They will send out like these professional agitators to some of these universities. They found some at University of Texas down in Austin, UT,

which didn't entirely surprise me. But it always starts on these college campuses. It's been like that in Europe. It was like that with the cultural revolution in China. Why Congresswoman, do you think that they always,

it always kicks off on these college campuses? Because I think it's very easy. I think with a lot of young people have been very brainwerect. wash and you know and then a lot of and it starts with schools it starts with education with family religious values and really fundamentals and we're not teaching so this kids are becoming easy to manipulate then you use data collections through tic-tok and china can put artificial intelligence on top

in quantum computers and really mess with people's brains so they understand that some of these kids are frustrated some of these kids depressed with a lot of reasons what's happening right now because honestly we're not building strengths in our young generations and this is a huge national security issue only 30% of our kids are even eligible to be in the military only 30% 70% of kids are not even eligible that is a national security crisis and then they're easy to get manipulated and that's what they want to use them because if you want to have tyranny and create puppets they want to do it with young kids and a lot of them unfortunately fall into that trap so i think we need to start thinking about it, what policies are driving that? Because I think we weakened our children. Maybe sometimes

it was a good intent, but we made them weaker. And they become really now a tool and puppets to very radical group of people. Yeah, they become their foot soldiers talking with Representative Victoria Sparts. You mentioned, you know, growing up in Ukraine, you had a front row seat to tyranny in action. You watched it grow. You watched it take over. The funding that went through the house, it was interesting because I think people assumed because you were born in Ukraine that you would immediately vote and support funding for the Ukrainian government. And you've been very clear on this. You're like, you know, I have my heritage, but that's separate from how I want to see governments

behave. Talk to us about this because you've been very clear about accountability for this money. And we talked the other day about the deputy prime minister of Ukraine saying that if the United States and the EU didn't meet their obligations, then Ukraine wouldn't be able to pay pensions and benefits. And I thought, well, you're in a state of war. should be the last thing that you're worried about is pensions and benefits. Well, listen, unfortunately. And then Ukraine, actually, it was a Soviet Union when I grew up. The country doesn't exist.

Actually, I was born in the Soviet Union. It doesn't exist for a reason because socialism always fell apart. And, you know, and it brings a lot of suffering. It's when run out of money and mob rule. And you see Ukraine young people fighting for over 30 years, try to regain freedoms, goes through bloodshed, and cannot get through it. You know, so you have to separate people in government. And I thought it was kind of offensive, you know, that people like, you know, country that I left 24 years ago, you know, and an American congresswoman that I have to protect my children, your children, and national leaders of my country, I would be attacked that I am not questioning money going to foreign corrupt government.

I mean, this is actually offensive as an American. We're a country of immigrants and these different heritages. You know, what unites is love and fight for our constitution and our principles of the freedoms, the countries of ideas. All of us have different heritage issues, and I think it's totally un-American, you know, but it's okay. You know, the left one to intimidate that's because people like me don't fit their narrative. They cannot say I hate immigrants. They cannot say that I hate immigrants. They cannot say that when I'm questioned Ukraine, that I'm crambling pro-crammline pro-Praudence, even though they say that, okay, but it's a lie.

So it's become dangerous for them, and they comment you viciously to you, but it has to make you stronger because I know how much people sacrificed. I know how much Americans are suffering right now. So I'm not going to fault for them. I don't care if they attack me. I'm going to tell the truth. And I will hold these governments accountable. We're spending money of our grandchildren. And if money don't go to the causes, we've seen what's happening after $2 trillion

spend in Afghanistan. What happened? It was embarrassing. We left weapons to terrorists. I mean, we embarrassed and, you know, we're being embarrassed and, you know, we're ban on our lies. I mean, $2 trillion. What did we achieve?

I mean, we need to get smarter in our foreign policy. We want to deter people like, put it. you know, she in China, Iranians, you know, that really on attack. But, you know, doing slush funds and no strategy, it's not serving good for any interest and for American interests. So, you know, it's definitely, you know, they try to use all of the media and try to attack. They're doing it for Trump all the time. It makes me feel bad at least that he exists.

So they change attacks for him and Marjor. At least they don't always write about me. So it's a good thing to thank God in some ways for him what he has to go. through but you can see what they're doing they try to take presidential candidate so judicial system this is only in communist and you know totalitarian countries in the dictatorship things like that happening i mean unbelievable but i think americans are waking up and i see the people start paying attention because i think this is goes already to the level that you know i think they go overboard in a lot of the things and people see that and i hope

that these elections americans will wake up i i hope so as well talking with congressman of Victoria Sparts. And I think they are waking up. And I also think that they're really paying attention to every single, more so I've noticed in the past, I think maybe five to six years than previous time. They're paying attention to every single bill, every appropriations, everything that's happening in the House and Senate. And I noticed as well, you received the Fiscal Hero Award from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. That's a tough award to get. Congratulations on that. Well, thank you. Actually, it was kind of funny.

I don't know if you can trust the eye or not, but one of my colleagues was looking at top five people in Congress that care about fiscal issue and I came up on number one, according to AI. So I guess I'm doing enough fighting on this issue and try because I understand, you know, border security and our debt are two top national security issues because debt and inflation is going to destroy low-income people, people on fixed income and middle class in our country. And people need to realize most of this money don't go to with the people. We create a lot of very wealthy oligopolis over there.

And I think at some point we need to have to have a backbone and say, enough is enough. We're destroying future of our children. And we're actually destroying opportunities right now for all of the young people. Young people should be really, really upset right now. They should be, they should be right in autumn campuses. They should be in Congress, demanding this Congress to stop destroying their future. That's where they should be there, you know, because we're truly, truly screwing them. I mean, right now, this is, I said for me to see that a lot of, we have to, you know,

we have to look at each generation of American was going to live a better future for their children. And we're right now, might be that generation that will not, because we are being irresponsible. We're truly being responsible and don't care what's happening in the country. So I hope, you know, with all of the drama, and I know that, you know, that people don't like drama, But the muscle memory and swamp is deep. So sometimes it takes a little bit shaking enough, but people now paying attention what's happened in Congress. People even know how the speaker is elected.

So maybe it's a good thing because people have a glimpse in what's really happening in politics. The same when during COVID was all of the bad things. A lot of parents had a glimpse to see what's happening in schools. And a lot of parents got really pissed off because it will take Americans to get in very upset and put in pressure on politicians to get something done. Absolutely. agree. Congresswoman Victoria Sparts, congratulations on the Fiscal Award.

And thank you for your fight in D.C. and you're just transparency. We so appreciate it. Thank you so much. So good to talk with you. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Of course. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. So a Florida man

committed a crime, according to Fox 45, and then ran to police afterwards because he needed some help. Not the way you do this. Police officer in Coconut Creek arrested an accused burglar on Monday. He asked for help after running away from one of his victims. Terry Jennings of Pompano Beach ran up to police officers asking him, asking the officer for help. The officer was stopped at a stoplight.

And Jennings, well, the officer quickly determined that Jennings was fleeing from a resident because the resident found him trying to break into his home in South Creek. and so police searched Jennings. They found all kinds of stuff in his pockets that he could not explain. And apparently he'd also stolen things from a car that was left unlocked in the area. So a woman came forward. She told police that she caught Jennings on one of her cameras trying to break into her car, but it was locked. So he was arrested and booked in Broward County Jail on charges of car burglary and attempted car burglar because he did burglarize one car.

He was scared of her. It makes me wonder why was he flew. So he ran, he felt he didn't run away. he ran to a cop and asked for help. What was happening? I feel like there's a missing part of the story. What was happening in the situation that this man felt like he needed to get away from this woman?

Maybe, you know, maybe he came across one of them crazy ladies. I don't know. Florida man was arrested because he was hurling chicken at his sister during an argument. He threw two pieces of chicken at his sister and threw his own backside in jail on a domestic battery charge as a result. They got into a fight. His name is Kanye Medley, 20. No relation to the other Kanye.

He was taken into custody on Monday. Clearwater Police booked him on a domestic battery charge. He and his sister got into a fight at their Clearwater residence, and they started exchanging words. He grabbed a bag of chicken from her and began throwing the chicken at her. And it was from Church's chicken, which is also down the road. Wait, first off, why, you can be disrespecting the perfectly delicious chicken that way? Because that's some good chicken. Church's chicken is good chicken.

Why are you going to be throwing church as chicken? Why are you wasting the chicken? The chicken didn't do anything to you? So he's in jail now. He was taking a jail on battery. We have a whole other hour all in the way. Stick with us. There's no introduction that really is needed here.

I have a special guest, as you can see. Mark Hamill has decided to join us on this wonderful Friday. And I am really excited to turn it over to Mr. Hamill. Sorry, guys. Just, okay. How many of you? you had Mark Hamill will lead the press briefing on your bingo card hands. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and say a bunch of like, you know, just, you know,

stereotypical statements that have like been said so many times over the years that you're a bingo card, check, how do fellow kids? Gosh, I'm going to cringe to death. Can you cringe to death? I think so. Died by cringing. Wasn't the Vax? It was the cringe. Welcome back to the program, top of the third hour. We had to see this on break. So we're sharing the burden. You owe us that much. Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coast terrestrily.

You can also watch the simulcast on Channel 347 direct TV. We're on X, Rumble, all the good stuff. And YouTube. He's, you know why, Kane, I wasn't even paying attention, and Cain's over there. You know why he's there, right? Like, what do you mean? Who?

You know why Mark Hamel's there, right, at the White House press briefing? Good God, do I sound like that, really? You're like, you know why he's there, right? What'd you tell me? Because tomorrow is May 4th, and may the 4th be with you. Mark Hamel is overrated. He's a voice actor, and he was the worst part of Star Wars. Oh, I said it.

He was the Natalie Portman of the original sequels. Oh, yes, he was. You're not my dad. He's on a first name basis, though, with the president. I was, if I was Vader, I'd want to kill him. Just, at any point, Vader, you could have just, too. So now he's wearing, he is so high on his own farts. Like, he's getting life from the kids liking his voice acting abilities, right?

Because he's any joker and some other, I don't care. I don't care. And so he's, he, and he acts like it. That's, I think, half of the cringe is because he is unaware of how, how, obvious it is that he is so high on this and loves himself. He is such a jackass to people online. He is so ignorant. I will say at least Stephen King has a body of work. Granted, he can't end a story properly and he gives up 30 quarters of the way through. Whatever. You know, oh, I'll just finish it with a big spider. That's it. A big spider. Hey, not going to explain the deadlights.

Bye, everybody. Do a whole series on it. Never actually explain it. I mean, at least he's got, you know, at least he tried, right? Whereas Mark Campbell just, he is still, he's still living on the Star Wars. We'll play the other one. This is, oh, you, this will kill you. This is going to. It's on a first name basis for the president. It's going to hurt.

Go ahead. Well, you know, I called him Mr. President. He said, you can call me Joe? And I said, can I call you Joe B. Juan Canovi? It took a beat for the whole assembled reporters, all the reporters to go, oh, that's a fun. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. They're looking around to see if other people are laughing. Everyone's doing the same thing.

Oh, ha ha ha. Looking at each other. It's so awkward. Isn't it? He's a horrible actor. What makes us even worse is that we see all of the unrest going on, obviously, all over the campuses. We just got the jobs report out today that was- everything's just a horrible.

Anorexically low. And this is what they're doing. They're touting out this little Hollywood. if you can even call him that. Yeah. Vegas Larry noted that Joe doesn't even have anything on his diary today except to go to Delaware's Delaware Beach House later. And then they're bringing on Mark Campbell because tomorrow's May 4th,

they should have had, you know what? If you're going to do it, do it right. Bring on Justin Timberlake on April 29th. Guess what, guys, tomorrow, it's got to be May. April 30th, yeah. Yeah. So like, just, you know, do it properly. Do it properly.

But he's, I just, that's their priorities. I just can't get over how cringe it is. he's so if you've never experienced mark hamill being a jerk to you on twitter then you have never been on twitter or x because he he's all he's been so rude to so many people and i that's i'm just like meh i don't know he just now in the meantime as cane was noting there's all this stuff that's you know we see on college campuses so now i don't did you see the uh students at Princeton, they're going on a hunger strike, guys, for Hamas. I mean, if they were really dedicated, they'd go full Bushnell. I mean, oh, you're just going on a hunger strike. Aaron

Bushnell lit his own A double snakes on fire. I guess you just don't really care. Right, you're not committed. They're not committed. They have a whole sign. Hunger strike for, that only works if we care, which we don't. hunger strikes only work if the people care that you're hungry and we don't care that you're hungry in fact some of you fat asses on these college campuses need the fast you all need to go on a hunger strike we've seen you okay we've seen you in your crop tops with your you know flabby just chicken bellies hanging over your leggings we've seen it we've seen it i'm just saying some of all need it Steve asks

Does tofu even fill you up? Oh my gosh. No. Because then they'd call it Toful. That's right. It would be Toful and it's not. It's tofu. Like tofu you.

Don't be a foo. Yeah. So if you see, these though, they're going on the hunger strike. Yeah, we don't negotiate with terrorists. That's all right. We're not happening. And I don't think that's going to last very long. Again, it only works if people care.

How long do you think it'll last? the hunger striking yeah good god i've seen these kids seen the pictures of them um i'm gonna say they go 24 to 36 hours somewhere in that range yeah and then they're gonna be sneaking food in everybody and eating one the ones looking they should do the uh humas hostage diet yeah there you go do the hamas hostage diet see how much weight you drop in captivity just saying that i've seen more and more videos of these people mocking these protesters and I am just here for it. Because ridicule is a very, very powerful weapon. And I think that ultimately, that's ridicule is what is needed in the situation.

Because I think we're past the point of having any kind of legitimate conversation. You can't have a genuine discussion with people who act like Hamas A isn't a terror group. B, they weren't popularly elected as the representative of Gaza and see that they are. in any way operating in good faith. They won't release any of the hostages. They just rejected yesterday another offer, another ceasefire offer, because they don't want to release any hostages. I actually, as sad as this is, I don't even think there's probably any hostages left

at this point. I hate saying that, but I just, I think you'd see more proof of life. They would, they would want to, I think they would want to keep that over people's heads, and they can't. So it's sad, but I really feel it that way. And in the meantime, you got, Oh, may the fourth be with you. Let's bring up Mark Hamill.

Spring up Mark Campbell. No. Mm-mm. Not doing it. So, I, I, this is, this is backfired on Democrats spectacularly. Because now they're fighting with each other. And you have older Democrats fighting with younger Democrats. And then the moderate Democrats fighting with the super crazy Democrats.

And they are an absolute mess right now. And in the meantime, everybody on the right, I feel like he's, eating popcorn and having frat boy summer right we are we're just watching we're watching everything go down we're watching it all happen now speaking of some 2024 stuff somebody put out and I just feel like also this is kind of um uh I I keep seeing these lists where for instance it says new trump VP list is winnowing down to governor bergum senators Rubio vance plus Scott there are going to appear with donors at an RNC retreat in Palm Beach this weekend. No formal meetings with Trump yet to talk about the job.

He apparently speaks to, I don't like anybody on this list, but if it has to be somebody from this list, I say go ahead and pick Tim Scott because he's not going to do anything anyway. He's from a reliable red seat. That's not going to be a concern. But meanwhile, Rubio, his seat could be competitive. Vance, I mean, he had to fight to get, that's not a safe. Someone was like, oh, that's a reliable red seat. Are you high? It's not. I don't, and we really can't, we cannot afford to jeopardize any purplish

Senate seats. We can't. But I don't think it would be any one of them. I think that would destroy the hopes I think of a Tulsi Gabbard or Christy Noam, who's, by the way, in her book, Christy Noam, she apparently also put the same book where she talked about shooting her talk, she falsely claimed that she met Kim Jong-un in her new book. That's from the New York Post, which isn't exactly a progressive outlet. Her book is called No Going Back. You got that right.

She falsely claims that she met Kim Jong-un. Her own staff said that's not entirely accurate. Would they do a Zoom call? No. No. No, they did not do anything like that. Oh my gosh. so this is so bad

this is just turning into a big nightmare for her she's tried too hard she's got major pygmy energy I mean why can't you just write a normal book right just write a normal book like write a normal boring book but she people they she wants to go off for the shock valley

oh I met Kim Jong-un and I stared him down well that was actually Mike Pence you remember when Mike Pence did that that was the toughest Mike Pence ever looked that was his shine that was his bright moment in his entire vice presidency was when they went down and went with trump to the DMZ and he stood there in his bomber jacket and he had his arms crossed and he was staring across the DMZ. It was kind of funny, but at the same time, it was like, that's his tough moment. Just do normal stuff. You don't need to be copping anybody's stories, anybody's legacy. Just be normal. Golly. I mean, she's, you know what? She should have, she shouldn't have named her book, no way back. She should have named her book down to the gravel pit. because that's where she's never coming back up. She did it to herself.

Good night. I wanted to, a couple of other things here. Did you see, I put this up talking about the type of protesters. First, if I saw this story that said one of the protesters at UCLA who got arrested, was it yesterday morning? He showed up at UCLA after they dispersed everyone. he got a trespass citation. But he was trying to get his wallet, his keys in his Apple Watch that he says he left at the encampment.

And his Apple air tag showed that they're inside a dumpster in the plaza, but the university won't allow any access. Aw. What? You mean you left all your personal belongings in your trash baby encampment and none of the other trash babies got your stuff for you? And now it's in a dumpster. Oh my gosh.

It's almost like there's consequences for stupid actions. You know, that's funny to me Is that it's clear he's engaged in a whole lot of capitalism Based on all the items he left behind Mm-hmm, mm-hmm That's weird I had a post out that last night A perfectly real photograph

That was posted to X And they deleted it because of all the pushback But it is, I think You know how yesterday I was telling you How the Box Wine Brigade, the Mom's Demand Box Wine Brigade, Like all of the chicks that are protesting at these encampments, that's the larval stage. The post was like, OMG, intifada or something. And it had these chicks.

And they were at their encampment. And they took a selfie of themselves at their encampment. And they had their little kaffiazon and all that. And they're like, ah, yeah, made it. It's made it. The encampment emojis. And I had to make fun of them. Because this is like, actually, I didn't believe that white privilege was the thing.

until I saw this photo. And I'm like, oh yeah, this is a totally white privilege right here. And the chick who posted it, her name is Haley. And she's got two Wies in her name because her parents didn't think that one Y was adorable enough. So they gave her two Wies. Hailey. And I can only imagine their May Day going like, OMG, me and Amber, A&BYR, Madison, M-A-D-D-I-N, and our new cafes and our barley hoodies and our lily lemon leggings. And we're on our way to drink, bottomless calories at Brum. bunch like go Palestine boojews oh my gosh and we totally wanted to add joe malone candles to our list of demands because this encampment while like totally rustic sheet it smells like butt and feet

and i'm worried that like my campmate and the pup tent next to me is like totally going to the bathroom in his tent like he's not even bothering to use the port of johns like at the little rooms with the toilets at the taylor concert um and he's like using the bathroom in his tent. Like for instance, I dropped my fendi palm keychain in what I thought was a puddle of water, but it turns out it was his piss. And nothing gets the smell out, not even like the Tom's of Maine soap, which I'm going to have to add like actual soap to the list of demands. That's it. That's, that's L'Kefy Summer, which has just been ruined by Frat Boy Summer. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

So this is in Montana. A coroner identified the guy who was shot by Billings Police because you can't wave a machete at the police. Especially when they repeatedly tell you to put down your weapon, you can't keep waving the machete at them. And that's what, and he was waving it at other people, which is why police were called in the first place. So I feel like that's like really important for everybody who wants to find fault with cops all the time every day. this California superintendent was fired because he allegedly threatened students who didn't clap for his daughter or for her daughter. It was the Del Norte high school softball team. The players told the school board that the superintendent believed that they didn't clap hard enough for her daughter who was on the team.

And this has happened in November. And it said that they, the superintendent, Marion Kim Phelps, threatened their graduation privileges over what she said was a perceived slight. It was apparently a perceived slight of her daughter who was on the team. And they had to address it at the school board meeting. It was a softball awards banquet. And that's when it happened. And apparently Phelps was calling and texting some of the students telling them that they should have applauded for her daughter. That's crazy.

Like some, come on, mom, that's crazy. And Smokey the Bear's son was stolen from Flathead National Forest because there's no answer to why. Just because they did. We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Craving a daily dose of intellectual adrenaline look no further than the Dana Show podcast, where curiosity meets courage by following on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, crime rates are down nationally. We've invested a record amount in public safety, violence interruption. We've also done much work to make community safer. You know what? Guess what happens if you stop reporting crimes? The crime rate goes down.

It's like magic. Maybe in post they can just like put like sparks coming out of my fingers and going magic and make a bling when I go like that. It's magic. That's if you don't report the crimes,

the crimes aren't there. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with the bottom of this third hour, happy Friday. Our friend John Lott actually had a whole thing on this because he hears numbers that he doesn't like. And then he's like, I'm going to not sleep for a month.

And I'm going to research all of these things over at crime research. org. This is his website. But he was, he had, he dived into this and was looking at, you know, look at these major metropolitan areas. I was saying that, yeah, it's, um, not true, actually. actually. Crime is is actually increasing. And they say the decline comes from in the number of crimes that are being reported and not because fewer crimes are happening. He's got this piece and the Wall Street Journal. And he said that the news reports fail to take into account that

the crimes are not being reported. Actually, there's a decrease in crimes. being reported to police since the pandemic, which I think is an important thing to note. That's just one other thing that the pandemic kind of ruined was this, you know, the reporting of crime. But that's, to me, that's kind of like we've seen that. Because you see, you know that crime isn't going down. Crime isn't decreasing. A lot notes that the U.S. has two ways to measure crime.

You have the FBI's, which is what I look at for, and they just redid their website like six months ago, and it's a lot easier to get around. It's the uniform crime reporting program that they have, the UCRs. Now, I know he takes exception to how the FBI tabulates a lot of crime and particularly where it relates to firearm usage. But they look at the, they count the number of crimes, the weapons, demo, you know, area, et cetera, every year. They're usually two years behind. and when they publish their, the official number. But then we also have the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the second way that we look at it,

and that is the National Crime Victimization Survey. And they ask, you know, like several hundred thousand people a year, whether or not they've been victims of crimes. And he notes that these measures have diverged since 2020, because more people, according to the Bureau of Justice statistics, are saying that they have been victim, of crime, that's increased, whereas the UCR, the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, has noticed a decrease in reporting. He noted that in 2022, John Lawton is Wall Street Journal piece, the 31% of police

departments nationwide, including L.A. and New York, didn't report crime data to the FBI. And he says that in cities from Baltimore to Nashville, the FBI is actually undercounting crime. that these jurisdictions reported. He says that arrest rates are also plummeting. That's the other thing, too. If victims, this is what restorative justice wrought, if victims believe that there is not going to be any law and order enforced, if they believe that the criminal in their situation isn't going to be charged,

they are going to be less likely to report the crime. They're not going to bother reporting them. lot notes that if you according to the FBI if you take the five years before COVID from 2015 to 2019 and you compare them with 2022 the percentage of violent crimes in all cities resulting in an arrest fell from 44 to 35 percent and cities with more than one million people where violent crime disproportionately occurs he notes that the arrest rates over the same period plunged 44 to 20 percent. But again, the National Crime Victimization Survey shows something entirely different. So it's a matter of who's reporting, you know, it's a matter of what's being reported.

This is fascinating. And that is true. That's what restorative justice does. If people feel like nothing's going to happen, like I had this, let me find this story. I was actually going to talk about this more next week, but I read this story where, there was an individual. I mean, it's like I have so many stories like this. It's a heinous crime and someone, you know, is allowed to walk. This happens a lot in New York, particularly. And people see these big stories.

They see stories like Daniel Penny or they see stories where, like the lady who was beating up the kid on the bus, the autistic kid on the bus. She was just, you know, got her wrist slap and she's allowed to walk. They see stuff like this and they're, and they think, oh, gosh, this is then, why report, why even report crime? Why report any crime? If it's, if people, if, if they're not even going to prosecute them. You saw this really after BLM, burn loop murder. It's just, it's, it's, it's pretty wild. I think, do I have this on the rundown for today? I think I put it on the rundown somewhere. Maybe, perhaps. My page has gone away. But restorative justice undermines, not just justice, but it also

destroys an innocent person's, not just their ability to get justice, but they just don't report it. They won't even report anymore. They won't even tell the system about violent offenders. And that's sad because then those people, that just enables them to go on and violate more people and commit more crimes. They're just allowed to continue. Nothing ends up happening. It's just sad. So yeah, they say that John Lott's piece, he says that crime is in fact not going down. Of course it's not. Arrest rates, they're just not reporting.

They're not arresting. And they're not prosecuting too. That's the other thing. If you look at prosecutions of violent crimes in a number of these cities for federal crimes, felonies, these federal like super serious stuff like weapons, possessions by repeat violent offenders. You're talking like rapists and people who are in for assault. who go in for serious crimes and they're also in possession of a firearm during that serious crime too in a legal possession. Prosecutions of these crimes are just, they have decreased so significantly. That's also part of it. Prosecutors aren't, I mean, you can see this. It's the Soros-funded

prosecutors. This is all playing into it. We're just not going to report the crime. So the recrower, and we're not going to prosecute. So it looks like, so that that matches up except the victims, gosh, dang it. When they're surveyed by the Bureau of Justice statistics, they're telling an entirely different story. And that's the first time as Lott notes that that's ever, that we've ever seen that kind of disparity between those figures. So that that tells you something. Americans aren't mistaken.

The media isn't doing its due diligence by the citizenry. They're not, they're not accurately telling people that, oh, crime actually is, and crime is increased. It's not that you're safer. It's just that no one's reporting it, which is actually making you less safer. It's making you less safe. It's wild. That's what led, and I told you before, that's not led to Parkland ultimately.

They just stopped reporting violent crime, even felonious activities to the police. And that's one of the reasons that that killer originally was protected. Because Robert Runcie, who was the superintendent of that school, wanted the award that he got so he could brag that he reduced the school to prison pipeline. You don't reduce the school to prison pipeline by not reporting crime. You don't, you don't solve the problem of crime by, not or under reporting it. You have to deal with justice. You have to deal with deterrence and then have it, you know,

maybe third party entities like they're doing in Florida, contract with the government, work with the government, and look at the root causes of why it keeps happening. That's the way to do it. All right, a few other things to discuss. So in Austin, the Austin City Council approved a transgender protections resolution, which is nothing more than a reprimandum. performative vote.

Because SB 14 is the bill that now you can't subject minors to this weird experimental surgery that you say is affirming their gender. They can't, they're not allowed to do that. And so now they have this resolution in Austin that's not going to do anything. It's just performative. I can't, I still have difficulty in believing that any parent would subject their kid to this. Have you read about those stuff? The clinics that are, and have you read, I can't even look at the photos. Have you actually seen what they have to do in order to create a different

copulatory organ than the one with which you were born? They are on medicine for life. And they are disfigured. So there are these clinics, the surgery, I can't even, I can't even hardly look at it for like the cartoon or just like a drawn graphic. Yeah, big pharma can notes is super excited. Like for a woman, in order, they call it a phalloplasti. They cut skin and muscle off of your arm or thigh, like a huge section of it. So your arm or your thigh is going to be, you know, mutilated at that point. And then they attach, for a woman, they'll sew you up and they'll attach to the groin

above, you know, while trying to preserve some of your function. That's wild. So it's a thing that has no feeling. It's just a, oh my gosh. And then for the, what they call the penile preservation vaginoplasti, they, oh gosh, I can't even. They use tissue from a very sensitive area for dudes to craft your lady bits. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

That's a Frankenstein experiment. It serves no purpose, no function, and you are disfigured and on medicine for life. And we don't have any long-term data on any of this. And of the long-term data, there's a lot of detransitioners out there wishing they never went through with this. And those stories are so suppressed. They are so suppressed. I was looking at some of the medication that they have to be on, even after, There are several stories of detransitioners who still, they've talked about all the medicine they still have to take.

They're on medicine for life because they were pushed into this when they were impressionable kids, which is not informed consent. It is, I'm telling you, there's going to be an epidemic of the consequences of hormonal abuse because they're trying to mainstream it to a certain extent. Like for instance, I wrote a story, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, they each have a kid who apparently is now trans. Ben Affleck has a daughter from his marriage to Jennifer Garner, who apparently came out at her grandfather's funeral as trans using they-them pronouns. And apparently Jennifer Lopez's daughter with Mark Anthony is like trans and uses those weird, calls herself they-them. It's catching. It's a, it's a, an epitone. amongst youth. It is a virus that is spread through social. I really believe it. And then you have these parents that, I don't know. Follow Dana on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, because knowledge is your ultimate superpower. No. And I think other people are going to have

to stand up and just because it's either that or you're going to find yourself in a situation. It's so terrifying. We always hear about people from Eastern Europe, the Jews from other parts of Eastern Europe, from Western Europe, coming over, look what happened with France, with the Nazis and so on, and they come over and you hear these, and they, and when I was a kid, they'd say, you don't really appreciate this country. You know, you don't really have people. We know what we know from experience. Imagine what those people went through. I'm just starting to see it. You know, as a kid, I said, Hitler's a nightmare that never would happen. But now I see that it's possible.

And but those people, sometimes I run into some people who are close to my age, who are from Eastern European countries or even Nazi Germany. At one point in this interview, the reporter's like, you're so brave, speaking out against Trump. You know, that's going to make you a target. She actually has the audacity to say this to him. When you have students who, like the one student in the video that we saw, who was wearing a star of David necklace, a small necklace that just happened to be seen by one of these protesters when he was trying

walk into the building to go to class, and they barred him from actually accessing his classroom. They wouldn't let him go to school that he paid for. Or they circled and formed a huge circle around another student because he was wearing a yamika, or she, yeah, he was wearing a yarmulke, or another student because they saw that she had like an Israeli flag thing that was on her backpack. This is ridiculous. It's not brave. You're rewarded. It's brave to not. Good grief. We remember all the videos that people wearing red hats that were punched in the face. Come on. We all remember this stuff. Oh, it's so brave that you're speaking out against. And how ironic that comes the day after he was yelling at some of these other protesters about

their pro-Hamas speech. I mean, he's very, he's guilty of the exact same thing that he was lecturing those protesters about. And that's not bravery. That's not bravery. That's all he does is Curtis. We get it. You don't like Trump. My gosh. At some point, It's just annoying as all hell, Karen. Come on. Stop. You have to ignore everything that Biden fearmongered about Trump before 2020, which was endless wars, you know, economy crashing.

Everything was going to be bad. It's literally all happened under Joe Biden. And this guy is still out there because he's got an ego to protect instead of really caring about the country. Today in stupidity, Canada. All right. It is KJP. She seems to make this segment quite often. It's probably just a coincidence.

She's talking about Biden's commitment to cutting Trump's tax cuts and ending them, allowing them to expire. Listen to this. He wants to let the tax cuts, the Trump tax cuts, they expire. If that law expires, it does raise taxes on almost every American. So does he still support that expiring without anything else in place? So look, as you said, the president is going to allow, is going to, is going to, is going to let the Trump tax cut expire. and he was very clear, but he will not raise taxes on anyone making less the time. Well, you can't make that claim.

You can't say you're not going to raise taxes on everyone when you then end the tax cuts. Yeah. It's stupid. That's what that means when you end the taxes. The taxes go up.
